Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of height-adjustable desk technology, and in particular to a desk leg that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] In the furniture manufacturing and usage sector, tables are an indispensable part of people's daily lives and work. Among them, the emerging height-adjustable desks are widely loved by users because they can meet the needs of sitting and standing. In order to reduce packaging and transportation costs, manufacturers often disassemble the height-adjustable desks during production, leaving the final assembly to the user.

[0003] However, traditional table leg installation methods mostly use screw connections. While this method ensures the strength of the connection between the table legs and the tabletop, it has several drawbacks in practice. Firstly, screw installation requires tools such as screwdrivers, making the process cumbersome. For consumers unfamiliar with these tools, installation can be difficult, easily resulting in loose screws or stripped threads, affecting the table's overall stability. Secondly, small parts like screws are easily lost during transportation and storage, causing inconvenience for subsequent installation.

[0004] Therefore, the market urgently needs a new type of table leg design that can provide consumers with a more convenient and easier assembly experience while ensuring lower packaging and transportation costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an easy-to-install table leg, comprising a support leg, a column, and a locking component. The support leg is located at the lower end of the column, from which a mounting component extends. The support leg has a through-groove mounting groove, into which the mounting component is inserted and exposed. The locking component includes a locking protrusion, rotatably mounted on the exposed mounting component. When the locking protrusion rotates towards the support leg, it presses the support leg against the column, locking the two together. The mounting component allows the support leg to be pre-installed on the column for positioning and also provides stability when locked. This design eliminates the need for screw connections; simply assemble the support leg and column, then tighten with the locking component. The operation is simple and convenient, avoiding the cumbersome nature of traditional screw installation and the risk of losing small parts. This optimizes the user assembly experience, improves installation efficiency, and ensures stable table leg connections.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] An easy-to-install table leg includes a support leg, a column, and a locking element. The support leg is located at the lower end of the column, and a mounting element extends downward from the lower end of the column. The support leg has a through mounting groove, in which the mounting element is inserted and protrudes from the support leg. The locking element includes a locking protrusion, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting element protruding from the support leg. The locking protrusion is configured such that when it rotates toward the support leg, it presses the support leg toward the column to lock the support leg and the column.

[0008] After the support leg is placed on the column, the locking mechanism presses the support leg toward the column, locking it to the column from bottom to top. The mounting component allows the support leg to be pre-installed on the column for positioning, and also works with the locking mechanism to pull the locking mechanism in place when it presses against the support leg, providing stability during locking. This solution eliminates the need for screws to connect the support leg and the column; simply assemble the support leg and column and then tighten it with the locking mechanism. The operation is simple and convenient, making assembly easier for users and optimizing their assembly experience.

[0009] Preferably, the locking component also includes a rotating part and a limiting shaft connected together. The locking protrusion is disposed on the rotating part and protrudes radially out of the rotating part. The mounting component has a limiting groove, in which the limiting shaft is disposed, and the limiting groove is configured to prevent the limiting shaft from disengaging from the limiting groove in the vertical direction. The opening direction of the limiting groove determines that the locking component cannot leave the limiting groove when the supporting foot is pushed in the vertical direction. That is, whether the limiting groove is open vertically or horizontally, the position where the limiting shaft finally reaches the limiting groove can only be closed in the vertical direction, so that the mounting component can provide support for the locking component.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting groove also includes a locking groove, located at the end of the limiting groove and extending vertically toward the mounting component. The locking groove is configured such that when the locking protrusion presses against the support foot, the limiting shaft is positioned within it. After the locking component presses against the support foot, the limiting shaft moves from the limiting groove into the locking groove and locks itself there. At this point, the limiting shaft cannot return to the limiting groove, and the locking component is also limited and locked, thus maintaining the stability of the lock.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting groove is provided along the width direction of the mounting component. This ensures that the limiting component has sufficient depth to accommodate the limiting shaft, and that the mounting component provides sufficient support to the limiting shaft when locked.

[0012] Preferably, there are two mounting pieces, spaced apart; there are also two rotating parts and two locking protrusions, with the two mounting pieces located between the two rotating parts, and the two ends of the limiting shaft connected to the two rotating parts respectively; the locking component also includes an operating part, with both ends connected to the two rotating parts. The operating part allows the user to rotate the locking component to lock the support leg; the number of mounting pieces and locking protrusions increases the stability of the locking between the support leg and the column.

[0013] Preferably, the locking element and the mounting element are detachably connected. During packaging and transportation, the locking element will not affect the separate packaging of the support leg and the column. During assembly, after combining the support leg and the column, the limiting shaft of the locking element is directly placed into the limiting groove, and the installation is completed by rotating the locking element.

[0014] The design starting point, concept, and beneficial effects of this utility model, which adopts the above technical solution, are as follows:

[0015] After the support leg is placed on the column, the locking mechanism presses the support leg toward the column, locking it to the column from bottom to top. The mounting component allows the support leg to be pre-installed on the column for positioning, and also works with the locking mechanism to pull the locking mechanism in place when it presses against the support leg, providing stability during locking. This solution eliminates the need for screws to connect the support leg and the column; simply assemble the support leg and column and then tighten it with the locking mechanism. The operation is simple and convenient, making assembly easier for users and optimizing their assembly experience. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0025] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows:

[0028] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, this utility model provides a table leg that is easy to install, including a support leg 1, a column 2, and a locking member 4. The support leg 1 is located at the lower end of the column 2, and a mounting member 3 extends downward from the lower end of the column 2. The support leg 1 has a vertically penetrating mounting groove 11, and the mounting member 3 is inserted into the mounting groove 11 and protrudes from the support leg 1. The locking member 4 includes a locking protrusion 41, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting member 3 protruding from the support leg 1. The locking protrusion 41 is configured such that when the locking protrusion 41 rotates toward the support leg 1, the locking protrusion 41 presses the support leg 1 toward the column 2 to lock the support leg 1 and the column 2.

[0029] After the support leg 1 is placed on the column 2, the locking member 4 presses the support leg 1 toward the column 2, locking the support leg 1 onto the column 2 from bottom to top; the mounting member 3 allows the support leg 1 to be pre-installed on the column 2 to achieve the positioning of the support leg 1, and also works with the locking member 4 to pull the locking member 4 when it presses the support leg 1 to provide stability during locking; in this solution, there is no need to use screws to connect the support leg 1 and the column 2, you only need to combine the support leg 1 and the column 2 and then press it with the locking member 4. The operation steps are simple and convenient, making it easier for users to assemble and optimizing the user's assembly experience.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the table legs are those of a height-adjustable table, column 2 is a height-adjustable column, and support leg 1 is a floor-mounted component and is elongated in shape; as shown... Figure 3-7 As shown, there are two mounting parts 3, which are arranged at intervals and extend downward from the lower end of the column 2. There are also two mounting grooves 11 on the support foot 1, located in the middle of the support foot 1. The locking part 4 also includes a rotating part 42 and a limiting shaft 43 connected together. The locking protrusion 41 is provided on the rotating part 42 and protrudes radially from the rotating part 42, which is similar to a cam structure. There are two rotating parts 42 and two locking protrusions 41. The two mounting parts 3 are located between the two rotating parts 42. The two ends of the limiting shaft 43 are connected to the two rotating parts 42 respectively. The locking part 4 also includes an operating part 44. The two ends of the operating part 44 are connected to the two rotating parts 42. The operating part 44 makes it easy for the user to rotate the locking part 4 to lock the support foot 1. The number of mounting parts 3 and locking protrusions 41 can increase the stability of the locking between the support foot 1 and the column 2.

[0031] like Figure 7 As shown, the two mounting components 3 have the same structure, both having a limiting groove 31. The limiting shaft 43 is simultaneously set in the limiting groove 31 of both mounting components 3, and the limiting groove 31 is configured to prevent the limiting shaft 43 from disengaging from the limiting groove 31 in the vertical direction. The opening direction of the limiting groove 31 determines that when the locking component 4 applies a pushing force to the support foot 1 in the vertical direction, it cannot leave the limiting groove 31. That is, whether the limiting groove 31 is open vertically or horizontally, the limiting shaft 43 will eventually reach the position in the limiting groove 31, with its upper and lower parts... The mounting part 3 can only be closed so that the mounting part 3 can provide support for the locking part 4. In this embodiment, the limiting groove 31 is set along the width direction of the mounting part 3 so that the limiting part has enough depth to accommodate the limiting shaft 43. When locked, the mounting part 3 can also provide sufficient support for the limiting shaft 43. Specifically, the limiting groove 31 extends in the left and right direction, and its opening is located on the side of the mounting part 3. When installing the locking part 4, the limiting shaft 43 only needs to be inserted into the limiting groove 31 through the opening of the limiting groove 31.

[0032] Furthermore, in order to better maintain the locking of the locking member 4 to the support foot 1, a locking groove 32 is also provided in the limiting groove 31. The locking groove 32 is located at the end of the limiting groove 31 away from the opening and extends toward the mounting member 3 in the vertical direction, specifically downward. The locking groove 32 is configured such that when the locking protrusion 41 presses against the support foot 1, the limiting shaft 43 is located in the locking groove 32. After the locking member 4 presses against the support foot 1, the limiting shaft 43 enters the locking groove 32 from the limiting groove 31 and is locked in the locking groove 32. At this time, the limiting shaft 43 cannot return to the limiting groove 31, and the locking member 4 is also limited and locked, thereby maintaining the stability of the lock.

[0033] The locking component 4 and the mounting component 3 are detachably connected. During packaging and transportation, the locking component 4 can be removed from the mounting component 3 as a separate part. The support leg 1 and the column 2 can also be easily disassembled without affecting the separate packaging of the support leg 1 and the column 2. During assembly, for ease of operation, the column 2 and the support leg 1 are installed in reverse order. That is, the mounting component 3 protrudes upward from the column 2, and the support leg 1 is placed on the column 2 from top to bottom, with the two mounting components 3 inserted into the two mounting slots 11 and protruding from the mounting slots 11. After combining the support leg 1 and the column 2, the limiting pivot 43 of the locking component 4 is directly placed into the limiting slot 31. Finally, the locking component 4 is rotated so that the locking protrusion 41 presses against the support leg 1 to complete the installation.
