[0047] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0048] First, combine Figures 1-4 This invention describes a folding table according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used to realize the automatic folding of the table and has a wide range of applications.

[0049] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a folding table according to an embodiment of the present invention has a support frame 100, a first desktop 200, a second desktop 300, a third desktop 400, and a folding module.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the first desktop 200 is mounted on the support frame 100 and remains fixed; the second desktop 300 is hinged to one side of the first desktop 200, and the third desktop 400 is hinged to the other side of the first desktop 200. The second desktop 300 and the third desktop 400 can be flipped and folded around the hinge point with the first desktop 200.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the folding module connects the first desktop 200, the second desktop 300, and the third desktop 400, and is used to fold the second desktop 300 and the third desktop 400 individually or together toward the first desktop 200, so as to meet the usage requirements during use, and to fold them individually or simultaneously.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the folding module includes a first folding component and a second folding component. The first folding component is connected to the support frame 100 and the second desktop 300, and is used to automatically fold the second desktop 300 toward the first desktop 200; the second folding component is connected to the support frame 100 and the third desktop 400, and is used to automatically fold the third desktop 400 toward the first desktop 200.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the first folding assembly includes: four first support guide sleeves 501, two first transmission rods 502, two first transmission wheels 503, two first transmission frames 504, and a first driving mechanism. The four first support guide sleeves 501 are disposed on both sides of the bottom end of the support frame 100, with two opposing first support guide sleeves 501 on each side; the two first transmission rods 502 are disposed on both sides of the bottom end of the support frame 100, with one end of each first transmission rod 502 passing through the corresponding two first support guide sleeves 501, and the first support guide sleeves 501 providing support and guidance for the first transmission rods 502; the two first transmission wheels 503 are respectively disposed at the other ends of the two first transmission rods 502; the two first transmission frames 504 are disposed at the bottom of the second tabletop 300, with one side of each first transmission frame 504 having a first inclined surface, and the bottom of each first transmission frame 504 having a first flat surface that connects with the first inclined surface; the first driving mechanism is connected to one end of each of the two first transmission rods 502 and is used to drive the two first transmission rods 502 to move forward or backward. When the first drive mechanism is running, it drives the two first transmission rods 502 forward, which in turn causes the two first transmission wheels 503 on the two first transmission rods 502 to move forward, gradually approaching the first inclined surface on the first transmission frame 504 and moving forward along the first inclined surface. At the same time, the second tabletop 300 is gradually folded and unfolded around the hinge with the first tabletop 200 until the first transmission wheels 503 are at the bottom of the first plane. The first drive mechanism stops running, and at this time the second tabletop 300 is fully opened and flush with the first tabletop 200. When the first drive mechanism runs in the reverse direction, the two first transmission rods 502 retract, and the second tabletop 300 is gradually folded and closed around the hinge with the first tabletop 200 under the action of gravity.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the first driving mechanism includes: a first driving motor 505, a first support base 506, a first lead screw 507, and a first transmission beam 508.

By controlling the operation of the first driving motor 505, the first lead screw 507 can be rotated, causing the first transmission beam 508 to move forward or backward on the first lead screw 507, thereby driving the two first transmission rods 502 to move forward and backward.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the second folding assembly includes: four second support guide sleeves 601, two second transmission rods 602, two second transmission wheels 603, two second transmission frames 604, and a second drive mechanism. The four second support guide sleeves 601 are located on both sides of the bottom of the support frame 100, with two opposing second support guide sleeves 601 on each side; the two second transmission rods 602 are located on both sides of the bottom of the support frame 100, with one end of each second transmission rod 602 passing through the corresponding two second support guide sleeves 601, which provide support and guidance for the second transmission rods 602; the two second transmission wheels 603 are respectively located at the other ends of the two second transmission rods 602; the two second transmission frames 604 are located at the bottom of the third tabletop 400, with one side of each second transmission frame 604 having a second inclined surface and the bottom of each second transmission frame 604 having a second flat surface that connects to the second inclined surface; the second drive mechanism is connected to one end of each of the two second transmission rods 602 and is used to drive the two second transmission rods 602 to move forward or backward. When the second drive mechanism is running, it drives the two second transmission rods 602 forward, which in turn causes the two second transmission wheels 603 on the two second transmission rods 602 to move forward, gradually approaching the second inclined surface on the second transmission frame 604 and moving forward along the second inclined surface. At the same time, the third tabletop 400 is gradually folded and unfolded around the hinge with the first tabletop 200 until the second transmission wheels 603 are at the bottom of the second plane. The second drive mechanism stops running, and at this time the third tabletop 400 is fully opened and flush with the first tabletop 200. When the second drive mechanism runs in the reverse direction, the two second transmission rods 602 retract, and the third tabletop 400 is gradually folded and closed around the hinge with the first tabletop 200 under the action of gravity.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the second drive mechanism includes: a second drive motor 605, a second support base 606, a clearance port 607, a second lead screw 608, and a second transmission beam 609. The second drive motor 605 is located at the other end of the bottom of the support frame 100; the second support base 606 is located at one end of the bottom of the support frame 100; the clearance port 607 is formed on the first support base 506 to allow space for the installation of the second lead screw 608; one end of the second lead screw 608 passes through the clearance port 607 and is connected to the output end of the second drive motor 605, while the other end is rotatably mounted on the second support base 606; the second transmission beam 609 is sleeved on the second lead screw 608, and both ends of the second transmission beam 609 are respectively connected to one end of two second transmission rods 602. By controlling the operation of the second drive motor 605, the second lead screw 608 can be rotated, causing the second transmission beam 609 to move forward or backward on the second lead screw 608, thereby driving the two second transmission rods 602 to move forward and backward.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, both the first transmission wheel 503 and the second transmission wheel 603 have bearings inside and are covered with rubber outside.

[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the folding table of this utility model also includes a battery (not shown in the figure), which provides power to the folding module, thus eliminating the need for an external power source and allowing for independent use. Alternatively, a power adapter can be used to provide power as needed, with a maximum input voltage of 36V.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a folding table according to an embodiment of this utility model further includes: a controller 700, which is mounted on the support frame 100 and used to control the folding module. The controller 700 is equipped with a voice control module and a button control module, which can adopt synchronous control of voice control and button control, making it easier to operate the folding table.

[0060] Working principle:

[0061] When folding is required, the first folding component controls the folding state of the second desktop 300, and the second folding component controls the folding state of the third desktop 400. They can be folded individually or simultaneously to meet user needs.

[0062] Above, refer to Figures 1-4 A folding table according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0063] 1. When folded, its volume is only 43% of the original volume, effectively saving space and reducing space occupancy.
