Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior accessories technology, and in particular to a tailgate folding table. Background Technology

[0002] A folding table is a table device with a foldable function, consisting of a table and a foldable support or connector. It can be unfolded and used as needed to provide a temporary or fixed flat space for work, dining, study, etc.

[0003] A tailgate folding table is a foldable table installed on the tailgate of a vehicle. It is mainly used for outdoor travel, camping, and picnics, providing users with a convenient temporary table space. When unfolded, it has good stability. Even when the vehicle is in motion or parked on uneven ground, items placed on the table are not easy to slip or shake, providing users with a reliable user experience.

[0004] Existing tailgate folding tables are made of high-strength and lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloy and engineering plastics, and are connected to the tailgate through a specific connecting mechanism. However, after installing the tailgate folding table, it occupies a certain amount of space on the inside of the tailgate, which affects the original storage function of the tailgate, or causes some compression of the interior space when the tailgate is closed. This impact is more obvious for vehicles with limited interior space. Current technology uses an ultra-thin design to fit more tightly to the tailgate when folded, reducing the space occupied by the tailgate. For example, some ultra-thin tables made of aluminum alloy with optimized design are only a few centimeters thick, saving a lot of space compared to ordinary tables. However, in order to facilitate folding and storage, the support structure of the table is often relatively simple. Some tailgate folding tables rely on only one or two support points to support the weight of the entire table and the items placed on it. When heavy items are placed or multiple people use it at the same time, insufficient support can easily occur, leading to deformation or damage to the table. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a tailgate folding table, including a mounting plate 1. A tabletop 3 is provided on the right side of the outer wall of the mounting plate 1. Square grooves 4 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the lower middle part of the right side of the outer wall of the mounting plate 1. Fixing plates 5 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two square grooves 4 on opposite sides. A rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the upper right end of the front side of the outer wall of the fixing plate 5. A connecting block 7 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 6. The connecting block 7 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 5 through the rotating shaft 6. A fixing block 8 is rotatably connected to the lower middle part of the front side of the outer wall. The fixing block 8 is fixedly connected to the left end of the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the table 3. A rotating shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the middle of the front side of the outer wall of the fixing plate 5. A connecting block 10 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 9. The lower middle part of the front side of the connecting block 10 is rotatably connected to the left end of the rear side of the outer wall of the fixing block 8. The connecting block 10 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 5 through the rotating shaft 9. A rotating shaft 11 is rotatably connected to the upper left end of the front side of the outer wall of the fixing plate 5. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 11 is fixed. A spring 12 is connected, and a pivot 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the spring 12. The pivot 13 is rotatably connected to the upper left side of the front side of the outer wall of the fixing block 8. The spring 12 is stretched under the action of the pivots 11 and 13. A fixing mechanism 2 is provided on the top wall of the mounting plate 1. The fixing mechanism 2 is used to fix the table 3. The bottom wall of the table 3 is rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the pivot 14. The pivot 14 is used to realize the unfolding and folding of the table legs 15, so that the table can be adjusted to the desired state. The bottom of the pivot 14 Table legs 15 are fixedly connected to both the front and back sides of the wall. The table legs 15 provide stable support for the table 3, ensuring that the table 3 can withstand a certain weight without shaking or deforming during use, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the folding table. Connecting feet 16 are fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the table legs 15. Connecting feet 16 serve as a transition and fixation. Anti-slip pads 17 are installed on the bottom wall of the connecting feet 16. Anti-slip pads 17 are used to increase the friction between the table legs 15 and the ground, preventing the table from sliding when placed on the ground.

[0033] Specifically, when using the tabletop, the table 3 should be pulled outwards. At this time, connecting block 7 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 5 via pivot 6, and connecting block 10 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 5 via pivot 9. This will cause the table 3 to rotate outwards around the pivot points of the fixed block 8, connecting block 7, and connecting block 10. At the same time, spring 12 is stretched under the action of pivot 11 and pivot 13. When the table 3 is fully extended to the horizontal position, connecting block 7 and connecting block 10 can support the weight of the table 3. The elastic force generated by the stretched spring 12 will exert an inward pulling force on the fixed block 8 and the table 3. The mounting plate 1 has a fixing mechanism 2 on its top wall to help maintain the stability of the table 3 in a horizontal position and prevent it from easily wobbling or folding back. The fixing mechanism 2 is used to fix the table 3. The pivot 14 is used to unfold and fold the table legs 15, so that the table can be adjusted as needed. The table legs 15 provide stable support for the table 3, ensuring that the table 3 can withstand a certain weight without wobbling or deforming when in use, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the folding table. The connecting feet 16 play a transition and fixation role. The anti-slip pads 17 are used to increase the friction between the table legs 15 and the ground to prevent the table from sliding when placed on the ground.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The fixing mechanism 2 includes a connecting plate 201, which is fixedly connected to the middle of the top wall of the mounting plate 1. A rotating shaft 202 is rotatably connected to the right side of the outer wall of the connecting plate 201. A handle 203 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 202. The handle 203 rotates on the rotating shaft 202 on the connecting plate 201. A rotating shaft 204 is rotatably connected to the right side of the outer wall of the handle 203. Circular grooves 205 are provided on the left and right ends of the front side of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 204. The inner walls of the two circular grooves 205 are both sliding... A U-shaped column 206 is dynamically connected. Multiple nuts 207 are threaded at equal intervals on the left and right sides of the outer wall of the U-shaped column 206. The nuts 207 can adjust the tightness of the U-shaped column 206 in fixing the locking block 208. The locking block 208 is fixedly connected to the middle of the right side of the outer wall of the table 3. The top wall of the connecting plate 201 has four corners with mounting holes 23. Bolts 24 are installed on the inner wall of the mounting holes 23. The connecting plate 201 is fixed to the mounting plate 1 by passing the bolts 24 through the mounting holes 23.

[0035] Specifically, when the table 3 needs to be folded, the table 3 should be tightly fitted to the mounting plate 1. Then, the U-shaped post 206 needs to be inserted into the locking block 208 on the table 3. By pressing the handle 203, it is rotated on the pivot six 202 on the connecting plate 201. The rotation of the handle 203 will drive the U-shaped post 206 in the pivot seven 204, so that it is firmly locked in the locking block 208 on the table 3. By adjusting the nut 207, the tightness of the U-shaped post 206 in fixing the locking block 208 can be controlled, thereby effectively preventing the table from being accidentally unfolded due to bumps or other factors during vehicle travel. The connecting plate 201 is fixed to the mounting plate 1 by passing the bolt 24 through the mounting hole two 23.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The top wall of the table 3 has a slot 18, and a table mat 19 is placed on top of the slot 18. The table mat 19 is used to prevent the table 3 from being scratched or dirty, and plays a role in protecting the table 3 and extending the service life of the table 3. The slot 18 engages with the table mat 19 and is used to fix the table mat 19. The top wall of the table 3 has slots 20 around its perimeter, and a guardrail 21 is placed on top of the slot 20. The guardrail 21 is used to prevent items placed on the table 3 from accidentally slipping off, and improves the safety of use. The slot 20 engages with the guardrail 21 and is used to fix the guardrail 21. The four corners on the right side of the outer wall of the mounting plate 1 are all provided with mounting holes 22. The mounting plate 1 is fixed to the tailgate through the mounting holes 22.

[0037] Specifically, slot 18 is used to fix table mat 19, which is used to prevent table 3 from being scratched or dirty, thus protecting table 3 and extending its service life. Slot 20 is used to fix guardrail 21, which is used to prevent items placed on table 3 from accidentally slipping off, thus improving safety. Mounting plate 1 is fixed to tailgate through mounting hole 22.

[0038] Working principle: When the tabletop is needed, pull the table 3 outward. Connecting block 1 7 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 5 through pivot 1 6, and connecting block 2 10 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 5 through pivot 2 9. This causes the table 3 to rotate outward around the pivot point of the fixed block 8 and connecting blocks 1 7 and 2 10. At the same time, the spring 12 is stretched under the action of pivot 3 11 and pivot 4 13. When the table 3 is unfolded to the horizontal position, connecting blocks 1 7 and 2 10 can support the weight of the table 3. The elastic force generated after the spring 12 is stretched will exert an inward pulling force on the fixed block 8 and the table 3, which helps to maintain the stability of the table 3 in the horizontal position and prevents it from easily shaking or folding back.

[0039] When the table 3 needs to be folded up, the table 3 is attached to the mounting plate 1, the U-shaped post 206 is fitted onto the locking block 208 on the table 3, the handle 203 is pressed, and the handle 203 rotates on the pivot six 202 on the connecting plate 201. The handle 203 drives the U-shaped post 206 in the pivot seven 204 to tightly lock the locking block 208 on the table 3. The nut 207 can adjust the tightness of the U-shaped post 206 in fixing the locking block 208, which can effectively prevent the table from being accidentally unfolded due to bumps or other reasons during vehicle travel.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
