[0025] Please see Figures 1-3A foldable dining table includes a tabletop 1, which includes a main tabletop 11 and an extension tabletop 12. The extension tabletop 12 is hinged to the main tabletop 11, and a limit strip 121 is provided on the lower surface of the extension tabletop 12.
[0026] The extended desktop 12 is connected to the main desktop 11 by a hinge, so that the extended desktop 12 can be unfolded when needed to increase the usable area of the desktop 1, and folded when not needed to reduce space occupation.
[0027] The main function of the limiting strip 121 is to cooperate with the support leg 3 to limit the position and stabilize the tabletop 1 after the extended tabletop 12 is unfolded. The limiting strip 121 can be installed on the lower surface of the extended tabletop 12 by means of screws, glue or other fixing methods.
[0028] Please see Figure 2-4 The table body 2 supports the main desktop 11. The table body 2 includes a trash can 21. The trash can 21 is installed at both ends of the table body 2 in the form of a drawer. It can be pulled back and forth along the length of the table body 2 through the built-in slide rail. The side end of the trash can 21 has a throwing port 211.
[0029] Among them, the trash can 21 adopts a drawer-type installation method. This design allows the trash can 21 to be easily pulled out or pushed in from both ends of the table body 2, making it convenient to dispose of the trash filled in the trash can 21. In addition, a throwing port 211 is opened on the side, making it easy for users to dispose of trash during the meal.
[0030] Furthermore, it is stipulated that only napkins, wrapping paper, and other table-related waste can be placed in this trash can 21. It is not recommended to put liquid waste such as soup, grease, or beverages in it, as these can breed bacteria and odors, affecting the dining environment.
[0031] Please see Figure 4 The storage cabinet 22 is embedded in the middle of the table body 2 and is recessed downward along the main tabletop 11 to form an independent storage space. The top of the storage cabinet 22 is equipped with a flip cover 221, and after flipping it open, a cutlery rack 222 can be seen fixedly installed inside.
[0032] Among them, the storage cabinet 22 is recessed downward along the main tabletop 11 to form an independent storage space. This design provides a storage area under the main tabletop 11 that does not occupy floor space. It can be used to store tableware, napkins and other dining-related items, making them easy to access. It also avoids the clutter caused by placing items randomly on the tabletop 1.
[0033] Please see Figure 3 Support leg 3 is hinged to the side of table body 2 and supports the extended tabletop 12 after being rotated and unfolded.
[0034] Among them, the support leg 3 is one of the key components of the foldable dining table of this utility model. It is connected to the side of the table body 2 by a hinge. This connection method allows the support leg 3 to fit tightly against the table body 2 when not in use, thereby reducing the space occupied. When needed, the support leg 3 can be easily rotated and unfolded to provide stable support for the extended tabletop 12, ensuring that the extended tabletop 12 can remain stable when carrying items and will not wobble or tilt.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 When the extended desktop 12 and the support legs 3 are folded, they fit snugly against the sides of the table body 2 and are securely connected to each other by magnetic components.
[0036] Among them, the magnetic components provide a stable adsorption force, which can effectively prevent the extension table 12 and the support leg 3 from loosening or accidentally unfolding when not in use, ensuring structural stability during transportation or daily use. The magnetic connection method is simple and convenient to operate. Users do not need to use additional tools. They can simply press or pull to complete the folding or unfolding operation, which is convenient to use.
[0037] It should also be noted that when the support leg 3 and the extended tabletop 12 are folded, the support leg 3 is located between the table body 2 and the extended tabletop 12. The support leg 3 is connected to the table body 2 through magnetic components, while the extended tabletop 12 is connected to the support leg 3 through magnetic components.
[0038] Please see Figure 3 After the outrigger 3 is deployed, it is securely connected to the limiting strip 121 via a magnetic component.
[0039] The magnetic components provide a stable magnetic force, effectively preventing the legs 3 from loosening or wobbling when supporting the extended tabletop 12. This ensures the extended tabletop 12 remains stable when carrying items, preventing it from shaking due to instability of the legs 3, thus improving safety during use.
[0040] The magnetic components specifically refer to magnets and iron connectors. The magnets are installed on the extended tabletop 12, the legs 3, and the limiting strip 121, while the iron connectors are installed on the corresponding parts of the table body 2 and the legs 3 that need to be connected, so that the magnets can be attracted and connected to them.
[0041] Please see Figures 2-4 The flip cover 221 is connected to the storage cabinet 22 via a hinge, and when the flip cover 221 is closed, it forms a uniform plane with the main desktop 11.
[0042] The closed flip cover 221 can effectively prevent dust, debris and other objects from entering the storage cabinet 22, which plays a good role in protecting the stored items such as tableware, keeping the tableware clean and hygienic, and extending its service life. In addition, since the flip cover 221 forms a uniform plane with the main tabletop 11 after it is closed, the usable area of the tabletop 1 is increased.
[0043] Please see Figure 4 The cutlery rack 222 is composed of several horizontal and vertical support rods, and the spacing between the horizontal support rods in different placement areas varies depending on the type of cutlery.
[0044] Several horizontal and vertical support rods are interconnected to form multiple independent tableware storage compartments. These compartments can be flexibly divided according to the type and size of the tableware. In areas where larger tableware such as bowls and plates are placed, the horizontal support rods are spaced further apart to ensure that the tableware can be easily secured between adjacent horizontal support rods without colliding with each other. In areas where smaller tableware such as chopsticks and spoons are placed, the horizontal support rods are spaced further apart to ensure that the chopsticks, spoons, and other small tableware are placed on their surface, effectively preventing these slender tableware from slipping off.
[0045] Working principle: When there are many diners and the usable area of the tabletop 1 needs to be increased, the extended tabletop 12 is unfolded around the hinge with the main tabletop 11, and then the support legs 3 are rotated and unfolded until they are firmly connected to the limiting strip 121 through magnetic components, providing stable support for the extended tabletop 12 and ensuring that the extended tabletop 12 can remain stable when carrying items without shaking or tilting. After the meal, the support legs 3 and the extended tabletop 12 are rotated and folded to fit against the table body 2, and are firmly connected under the attraction of the magnetic components, reducing space occupation and making it easy to store.
[0046] During the meal, users can easily dispose of table-related waste such as napkins and wrappers through the disposal port 211 on the side of the trash can 21. It is not recommended to put liquid waste such as soup, oil, and beverages in the trash can 21 to avoid the growth of bacteria and odors, which would affect the dining environment. After the trash can 21 is full of trash, it can be pulled out from the table body 2 along the slide rail for waste disposal.
[0047] Before dining, users can open the flip cover 221 at the top of the locker 22 and take out various dining-related items such as tableware and napkins from the tableware rack 222. After dining, the washed tableware can be stored in the tableware rack 222 inside the locker 22 and the flip cover 221 can be closed.
