Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding table technology, and in particular to a foldable picnic table. Background Technology

[0002] Picnic tables are pieces of furniture designed specifically for outdoor dining. They are typically placed in parks, campsites, beaches, or other outdoor environments, providing people with a convenient and comfortable dining platform.

[0003] Most picnic tables on the market today are packaged in parts, meaning that the tabletop, frame, screws, and other components are packaged separately. While this method saves on transportation space and logistics costs, users need to spend extra time and effort to assemble these parts, which is especially inconvenient in outdoor environments.

[0004] Currently, some tables are equipped with folding functions, which solves the space problem to some extent. However, they are often accompanied by problems such as complicated assembly process, excessive size, and excessive weight, making it impossible for users to put them in their vehicles for travel, and still causing some inconvenience.

[0005] Based on this, in order to improve the usability of existing picnic tables, we propose a foldable picnic table. Utility Model Content

[0015] Furthermore, the locking frame is accommodated in the inner opening of the connecting seat, and a locking groove adapted to the locking pin is provided in its middle.

[0016] One end of the locking pin 1 passes through and extends to the outside of the sleeve 1 and is connected to a pull ring 1.

[0017] Furthermore, a screw is threaded between the leg and the connecting seat, and a nut is threaded onto the end of the screw.

[0018] Furthermore, the tripod has a U-shaped structure, and an L-shaped rod is fixedly installed at at least one side of the bent section of the tripod. A crossbar is also fixed between the L-shaped rod and the tripod, and the L-shaped rod and the crossbar form the folding position.

[0019] Furthermore, a stool frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the stool surface. The stool frame is connected to and rotates with the L-shaped rod via a hoop and fasteners. The telescopic locking assembly is connected between the crossbar and the stool frame.

[0020] Furthermore, the telescopic locking assembly includes a shaft rotatably connected to the stool frame, and a telescopic rod is fixedly installed in the middle of the shaft;

[0021] The crossbar is rotatably connected to a rotating seat in the middle. The rotating seat has a positioning port in the middle for the telescopic rod to pass through. A sleeve is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating seat. A locking pin is movably inserted into the inside of the sleeve through a spring. A locking hole is opened on the side of the telescopic rod to be inserted into the locking pin. A pull ring is connected to the outer end of the locking pin. The middle of the stool surface has a clearance opening to avoid the telescopic rod.

[0022] Furthermore, a rubber sleeve is movably inserted into the positioning port. One end of the rubber sleeve has a protrusion that abuts against the lower side of the rotating seat, and the other end is formed with two locking arms. The two locking arms are engaged with the upper side of the rotating seat. The side of the rubber sleeve has a hole for the locking pin to pass through.

[0023] Furthermore, the two legs are arranged in a figure-eight shape when in the unfolded position;

[0024] When the two legs are in the folded position, they are stacked one on top of the other.

[0042] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0043] Reference Figure 1-13 As one embodiment of this utility model, a foldable picnic table is disclosed, which is used to solve the problem that current picnic tables are not convenient to store and use, causing inconvenience.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 Specifically, the picnic table includes a table frame 1 and a tabletop 2 installed on the table frame 1. In this embodiment, the tabletop 2 is a blow-molded part, which can improve the convenience of outdoor carrying and transfer due to its excellent weight advantage. The table frame 1 can be a rectangular frame structure. Of course, in this embodiment, the table frame 1 and the tabletop 2 can be connected and fixed by fasteners such as bolts.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 Legs 3 are rotatably connected to both sides of the table frame 1. The legs 3 are unfolded and fixed to the table frame 1 by locking components 4 and can be folded under the table frame 1.

[0046] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the two legs 3 are arranged in a V-shape when unfolded, and stacked vertically when folded. That is, this invention uses two legs 3, which, when unfolded, provide stable support to the desktop 2 through their tilting force. Furthermore, the tilt angle of the legs 3 is designed to form an outward-expanding area on the outer side of the desktop 2. When the stool surface 5 is installed within this outward-expanding area, it provides a stable sitting space for the user and facilitates subsequent folding and storage of the stool surface 5. Similarly, the stool surface 5 in this invention can also be made of blow-molded material to meet the requirements of low cost and low weight.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 The leg 3 is provided with at least one folding position 30, and a stool surface 5 is rotatably connected to the folding position 30. The stool surface 5 is unfolded and fixed by the telescopic locking assembly 6 and the leg 3, and can be folded at the front end of the folding position 30.

[0048] Reference Figure 4 A reserved hole 21 is provided in the middle of the desktop 2, and a cover plate 22 is installed in the reserved hole 21. In a specific embodiment, the reserved hole 21 is designed to provide a convenient way to run wires. For example, when an appliance is placed on the desktop 2, the user can open the cover plate 22 and then run the wire of the appliance down along the reserved hole 21. This design makes the wiring simple and convenient, which not only improves the practicality of the desktop but also beautifies the management of wires.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 Specifically, in this embodiment, the reserved hole 21 is a stepped hole, and the bottom of the cover plate 22 is formed with two claws 23. The two claws 23 are engaged at the stepped position of the stepped hole. That is, when it is necessary to open the cover plate 22, the two claws 23 can be held from the bottom of the table 2 to deform it. When the two claws 23 are deformed and retracted into the interior of the stepped hole, the cover plate 22 can be pushed upward to disengage it from the reserved hole 21.

[0050] Conversely, after use, press down on the cover plate 22 until the bottom claw 23 engages with the stepped position of the reserved hole 21, thus fixing the entire cover plate 22. The operation is simple and convenient. Of course, as can be seen from the above description, the claw 23 in this embodiment should be elastic. Preferably, the claw 23 and the cover plate 22 in this embodiment are integrally formed, but a blow-molded design can also be used.

[0051] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 In some embodiments, the locking component 4 of the present invention includes a connecting seat 41 fixed to the end of the leg 3. The connecting seat 41 has a U-shaped structure design, and its middle part is fixed to the leg 3.

[0052] The connecting seat 41 and the table frame 1 are rotatably connected. A sleeve 42 is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting seat 41. A locking pin 44, which passes through the inner opening of the connecting seat 41, is movably inserted into the sleeve 42 by a spring 43. A locking frame 45, which is inserted and engaged with the locking pin 44, is fixedly installed at the bottom of the table frame 1.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the legs 3 and the table frame 1 are connected and rotated through the connecting seat 41. When the legs 3 need to be unfolded, the locking pin 44 is pulled outward and the legs 3 is rotated outward. When the end of the locking pin 44 is opposite to the locking frame 45, the pulling of the locking pin 44 is released. At this time, under the reset driving force of the spring 43, the locking pin 44 moves forward and resets. The locking pin 44 moves forward and inserts into the interior of the locking frame 45. The limiting force of the locking frame 45 can complete the locking of the rotation position of the legs 3.

[0054] Conversely, when the tripod 3 needs to be folded, first pull the locking pin 44 outward to separate it from the locking frame 45. At this time, the tripod 3 is in a state where it can rotate freely. After rotating it to the underside of the table 2, the tripod 3 can be folded and stored. It should be noted that since the folding and storage state of the two tripods 3 in this utility model adopts a stacked structure design, the height of the connecting seat 41 on the two tripods 3 in this utility model is different. For example, when the right tripod 3 is on top, the height of its connecting seat 41 should be higher than that of the left tripod 3, so as to ensure that the two tripods 3 can be stably stacked and stored.

[0055] Reference Figure 5 Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the locking frame 45 is accommodated in the inner opening of the connecting seat 41, and a locking groove adapted to the locking pin 44 is provided in the middle. In this embodiment, the locking groove is set as a straight groove.

[0056] In order to facilitate the operation of the locking pin 44, in this embodiment, one end of the locking pin 44 passes through and extends to the outside of the sleeve 42 and is connected to a pull ring 46, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a flat portion can be provided at the end of the sleeve 42, and a connecting hole is opened on the flat portion. The pull ring 46 is rotatably connected in the connecting hole, so as to meet the convenience of assembly. When it is necessary to pull the locking pin 44, you only need to hold the pull ring 46 with your finger to easily drive the locking pin 44 outward.

[0057] Reference Figure 6Furthermore, in this embodiment, a screw 47 is provided between the leg 3 and the connecting seat 41, and a nut 48 is threaded to the end of the screw 47. That is, in this embodiment, the rotation of the leg 3 is achieved by the cooperation of the screw 47 and the nut 48. The purpose of this structure design is to facilitate the disassembly of the leg 3. For example, during disassembly, it is only necessary to separate the nut 48 and the screw 47 by screwing them together, thereby improving the convenience of overall assembly and subsequent disassembly and maintenance.

[0058] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments, the stand 3 of this utility model has a U-shaped structure, and an L-shaped rod 31 is fixedly installed at at least one side of the bent section of the stand 3. A crossbar 32 is also fixed between the L-shaped rod 31 and the stand 3. The horizontal and vertical portions of the crossbar 32 and the L-shaped rod 31 are horizontal, and the L-shaped rod 31 and the crossbar 32 form the folding position 30.

[0059] It should be noted that the above embodiment takes the example of setting one folding position 30 on each tripod 3. In other words, the above embodiment is actually a two-person design.

[0060] Reference Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 In a further embodiment, the stool surface 5 can be provided in two or four. As those skilled in the art know, since the leg 3 adopts a U-shaped structure design, two folding positions 30 can be formed inside it by means of its structural features. Thus, a four-person design can be designed between the two legs 3. Of course, those skilled in the art can also add a folding position 30 structure in the middle of the leg 3 to meet the design requirements of more stools. The only difference between the four-person and two-person stools is the number of stool surfaces 5. Other similarities such as folding and fixing structures will not be described in detail here.

[0061] Reference Figure 7 Based on the above embodiments, in this utility model, a stool frame 51 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the stool surface 5. The stool frame 51 is connected to and rotates with the L-shaped rod 31 through a hoop 52 and fasteners. Of course, the fasteners in this embodiment are bolts. In order to achieve the lateral positioning of the hoop 52 on the L-shaped rod 31, several positioning pins can also be fixedly connected to the outside of the L-shaped rod 31 in this embodiment. Every two positioning pins form a group and are located on both sides of the hoop 52, so as to achieve the purpose of limiting the left and right movement between the hoop 52 and the L-shaped rod 31. In addition, the telescopic locking assembly 6 is connected between the crossbar 32 and the stool frame 51.

[0062] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 9In a further embodiment, the telescopic locking assembly 6 of the present invention includes a shaft 61 rotatably connected to the stool frame 51, and a telescopic rod 62 is fixedly installed in the middle of the shaft 61;

[0063] The crossbar 32 is rotatably connected to a rotating seat 63 in the middle. The rotating seat 63 has a positioning port 64 in the middle for the telescopic rod 62 to pass through. In other words, the telescopic rod 62 in this utility model is movably inserted into the positioning port 64 of the rotating seat 63.

[0064] Similarly, in order to lock the lateral position of the rotating seat 63 on the crossbar 32 in this utility model, two positioning pins can also be fixedly installed on the crossbar 32 in this embodiment. The two positioning pins are respectively distributed on both sides of the rotating seat 63 to achieve the purpose of limiting the rotation of the rotating seat 63 on both sides.

[0065] Reference Figure 9 Furthermore, a sleeve 65 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating seat 63. A locking pin 67 is movably inserted into the inside of the sleeve 65 through a spring 66. A locking hole is opened on the side of the telescopic rod 62 to be inserted into the locking pin 67. A pull ring 68 is connected to the outer end of the locking pin 67. In this embodiment, the connection method of the pull ring 68 and the locking pin 67 is the same as the structure of the pull ring 46 and the locking pin 44, which will not be described in detail here. The middle part of the stool surface 5 has a clearance opening 53 to avoid the telescopic rod 62. The clearance opening 53 is used to avoid the telescopic rod 62 when the stool surface 5 is in the stored state, so as to ensure the flatness of the stool surface 5 when stored.

[0066] Specifically, when the stool surface 5 is unfolded, the second locking pin 67 is inserted into the locking hole on the side of the telescopic rod 62. When the stool surface 5 needs to be folded up, the second locking pin 67 is pulled outward first. At this time, the telescopic rod 62 is in a state where it can be freely inserted inside the rotating seat 63. The stool surface 5 is rotated to make it flip and fold. The folding and folding of the entire stool surface 5 can be completed by means of the displacement movement of the telescopic rod 62 inside the rotating seat 63.

[0067] Conversely, when it is necessary to open the stool surface 5, flip the stool surface 5 outward. When the end of the locking pin 67 is aligned with the locking hole on the side of the telescopic rod 62, the pulling of the locking pin 67 can be released. At this time, under the pushing force of the spring 66, the end of the locking pin 67 is inserted into the locking hole, thus locking the insertion position of the telescopic rod 62, so as to further lock and fix the rotation angle of the stool surface 5. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0068] Reference Figure 9Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, a rubber sleeve 69 is movably inserted into the positioning port 64. One end of the rubber sleeve 69 has a protrusion 691 that abuts against the lower side of the rotating seat 63, and the other end is formed with two locking arms 692. The two locking arms 692 are locked onto the upper side of the rotating seat 63. The side of the rubber sleeve 69 is provided with a hole for the second locking pin 67 to pass through.

[0069] In other words, in this utility model, a rubber sleeve 69 is also installed in the positioning port 64 of the rotating seat 63. The rubber sleeve 69 can be made of plastic. Its purpose is to reduce the sliding wear between the telescopic rod 62 and the rotating seat 63. Specifically, in this utility model, a lubricant can also be coated on the inner side of the rubber sleeve 69 to reduce the sliding resistance of the telescopic rod 62.

[0070] Furthermore, the rubber sleeve 69 described in this utility model is also designed with a detachable structure. During installation, one end can be inserted into the interior of the positioning port 64 until its bottom protrusion 691 stops on the lower side of the rotating seat 63, and its two top locking arms 692 engage with the upper side of the rotating seat 63, thus completing the installation of the entire rubber sleeve 69. Conversely, pressing the two locking arms 692 to retract them can complete the disassembly of the rubber sleeve 69 to meet subsequent disassembly and replacement needs. It should be noted that the locking arms 692 described in this embodiment are set as an L-shaped structure, and at that time they were also made of plastic.

[0071] Reference Figure 9 In a further embodiment, a limiting post 621 may be threadedly connected to the inner side of the telescopic rod 62. The limiting post 621 is used to stop the sliding position of the telescopic rod 62 so as to realize the quick positioning of its folded position when the stool surface 5 is stored.

[0072] In summary, the picnic table proposed by this utility model can meet the design requirements of two-person and four-person tables. By cleverly utilizing the outward sloping angle of the table legs, the independent folding function of the seat 5 and the inner and outer legs 3 is realized. Users can use it directly without additional assembly, which greatly improves the convenience and ease of operation of the product.

[0073] Secondly, the picnic table occupies very little space when folded, making it easy to store and carry, and adaptable to various locations with different needs. This design not only meets consumers' diverse needs for opening and folding tables, but also significantly improves the efficiency and space utilization of existing tables.

[0074] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
