[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a foldable table for a car tailgate includes a table body 1, a fixing plate 2 folded and connected to the table body 1, and a connecting rope 3 connecting the table body 1 and the fixing plate 2. The top surface of the table body 1 is provided with at least two rows of fixing holes 11 along the length direction, a plurality of short holes 12 arranged adjacent to the fixing holes 11 on the same straight line, and at least one row of long holes 13 spaced apart from and parallel to the fixing holes 11 and the short holes 12. At least one of the four sides of the table body 1 is provided with a plurality of oblique holes 14. The table body 1 is provided with detachable fasteners 4 at the connection points between it and the fixing plate 2 and the connecting rope 3, respectively. The fixing plate 2 is provided with at least two hooks 221.

[0025] Through the above solution, in practical application, the table can be installed into the corresponding groove of the side-opening tailgate to form a hidden structure. The table body 1 can be unfolded or folded relative to the fixed plate 2, reducing the space occupied in the vehicle. The table body 1 is provided with fixing holes 11, long holes 13, short holes 12 and oblique holes 14, which can reduce the overall weight of the table and improve its aesthetics. On the other hand, it can also be used to install different items or tools. The fixed plate 2 is provided with hooks 221, which can add additional hanging function, so that the table can form a shelf. In addition, when the fixing part 4 is removed, the table body 1 can be used independently. At this time, multiple table rods can be configured for support according to different usage needs or scenarios, so that the top or bottom surface of the table body 1 can be used as a tabletop. It can be used on both sides, with a simple structure and low cost, improving the adaptability and versatility of the table and improving the user experience.

[0026] In this utility model, the tabletop body 1 is a rectangular plate with an opening. Both the tabletop body 1 and the fixing plate 2 can be stamped from high-strength metal sheets. The connecting rope 3 is a steel rope. The fixing hole 11 is a circular hole. Of course, some of the circular holes can be set as gradually tapered holes or designed with a threaded structure to facilitate the insertion of table rods or the hanging and installation of special tools. The table rods are provided with 4 rods and can be conventional telescopic rods with pins at the head. The short hole 12 and the long hole 13 are both arc-shaped holes. The length of the short hole 12 is less than the length of the long hole 13. The fixing holes 11 and the short holes 12 are arranged in 5 rows horizontally, and the long holes 13 are arranged in 4 rows horizontally. The oblique holes 14 are opened on the front and rear faces of the tabletop body 1 and can be used with commercially available S-shaped hooks or screws to facilitate the hanging of objects. The fixing part 4 is a conventional bolt and nut structure, which is simple and affordable, can be quickly disassembled and assembled, and is convenient for later maintenance. It is beneficial for the independent use of the tabletop body 1. When the tabletop body 1 is used with the bottom surface facing up, the surrounding side walls can prevent the placed items from falling.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, the fixing plate 2 includes a connecting plate 21 and two side brackets 22 fixedly connected to the connecting plate 21. The two side brackets 22 are respectively disposed at both ends of the connecting plate 21 to form an inverted U-shaped structure. The side brackets 22 are rotatably connected to the table body 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting plate 21 and the side bracket 22 are separate structures, which are easy to disassemble and assemble. The connecting plate 21 is a rectangular plate with extension sections on three sides, and the side brackets 22 are all L-shaped plates. The rear end of the table body 1 and the lower end of the side bracket 22 are rotatably connected. The connecting rope 3 is connected to the front end of the table body 1 and the upper end of the side bracket 22. Each side bracket 22 is provided with a hook 221. By adding the connecting plate 21, the stability and firmness of the table installed on the tailgate can be improved, and the load-bearing capacity can be guaranteed. Of course, the connecting plate 21 and the side bracket 22 can also be designed as an integrated structure according to the requirements to further ensure the structural strength, and the number of hooks 221 on a single side bracket 22 can be set according to the requirements.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, a buffer strip 211 is provided at the top of the side of the connecting plate 21 facing the table body 1. Specifically, the buffer strip 211 is a plastic sealing strip with a groove. The buffer strip 211 can reduce the impact when the table body 1 is folded, and can also work with the locking tongue 222 and the latch 15 to clamp the table body 1, avoiding collisions or vibrations, thereby reducing noise generation. In addition, the top of the connecting plate 21 has an extension section facing the table body 1, and the buffer strip 211 is installed on the extension section, so that when the table is folded, there is a gap between the table body 1 and the bottom surface of the connecting plate 21 and the side bracket 22, preventing suspended objects or tools from directly contacting the tailgate.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, a latch 15 is provided on the side of the tabletop body 1, and a latch 222 is provided on the side bracket 22. The latch 15 and the latch 222 are matched. Specifically, both the latch 15 and the latch 222 are provided with mounting bases. The latch 222 is an arc-shaped metal piece. The mating structure of the latch 15 and the latch is a conventional latch lock. The latch 15 is installed to the front sides of the tabletop body 1 with screws, and the latch 222 is installed to the upper end of the side bracket 22 with screws. After the latch 15 and the latch 222 are locked or released, the tabletop body 1 and the side bracket 22 can be folded or unfolded. Corresponding to the position of the latch 15 after folding, a notch is opened at the upper end of the side bracket 22 to avoid interference with the latch 15 and facilitate quick unlocking or locking.

[0030] like Figure 2As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, the fastener 4 is fitted with a sleeve 41, which is positioned between the tabletop body 1 and the fixing plate 2. Specifically, since the fastener 4 is a bolt and nut mating structure, the sleeve 41 is made of Teflon, which can reduce frictional loss. The sleeve 41 is positioned between the tabletop body 1 and the side support 22, thereby creating a gap between the tabletop body 1 and the side support 22, which facilitates the installation and use of the latch 15, the locking tongue 222, and the connecting rope 3.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, the inclination angle of the oblique hole 14 is either acute or obtuse. Specifically, multiple oblique holes 14 are arranged in an array, and the oblique holes 14 are arranged obliquely downward from right to left or from left to right, which facilitates hanging and picking up objects when the table body 1 is used independently.

[0032] It is worth noting that: in this embodiment, the table is installed on the side-opening tailgate, and the table and the suspended objects or tools will not cause any trouble to the opening or closing of the tailgate. Furthermore, the fixing holes 11, short holes 12 and long holes 13 on the table body 1 can also be used to install integrated extension plates in the prior art. The extension plate can be used to suspend or add tools, and the installation position can also be adjusted left and right through the short holes 12 or long holes 13. The extension plate is installed on the bottom surface of the table body 1 to prevent the objects suspended from the table body 1 from protruding from the top surface.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model, and the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions within the scope of this utility model's concept are within the protection scope of this utility model. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
