Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of outdoor table structure technology, and specifically refers to a tabletop mounting structure for an outdoor table. Background Technology

[0002] Nowadays, people are paying more and more attention to weekend life, and many young people are choosing outdoor activities. Therefore, outdoor folding tables are particularly popular with consumers. Because folding tables can be folded, they take up little space during storage and transportation, hence their widespread use. Existing folding tables come in various styles, all aiming to save placement space and reduce overall footprint. However, only a few manufacturers have paid attention to the installation of the tabletop, and the ease of installation and disassembly of the tabletop can significantly impact the user experience.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN2022228461846 describes a tabletop mounting structure for an outdoor table. It includes a table frame with crossbars on both sides for mounting the tabletop, which can be laid on the crossbars. The tabletop is composed of several interconnected table panels. End caps are installed at both ends of the crossbars, preventing the tabletop from detaching from one side of the crossbar. A retaining wall is provided on the outer side of the crossbar to prevent the table panel from detaching from one side. A recessed portion is formed at the position of the retaining wall, and a pin is movably mounted at the end of the table panel. When the tabletop is laid on the crossbar, the pin is limited within the recessed portion by an elastic element. Driving the pin separates it from the recessed portion, allowing the table panel to be removed from the crossbar. This tabletop offers quick assembly, but the structure also has some drawbacks: the crossbars are made of profile material, and the recessed portion is a thin-walled section. During outdoor use, collisions are inevitable. Excessive impact can deform the long, narrow recessed portion, making tabletop assembly impossible. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stable tabletop mounting structure for an outdoor table.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0006] An outdoor tabletop mounting structure includes a table frame with crossbars on both sides for mounting the tabletop, on which the tabletop can be laid. The tabletop is composed of several interconnected table panels. End caps are provided on both sides of the crossbars to prevent the tabletop from detaching from the crossbar. A baffle is provided on the outer side of the crossbar to prevent the tabletop from detaching from the baffle. A connecting seat is fixed to the end opening of each table panel, and a locking device is provided on the connecting seat. A locking notch is provided on the crossbar, and the locking device can engage with the locking notch to fix the table panel to the crossbar.

[0007] The locking device includes a latch and an elastic element. The pushing part of the latch protrudes from the connecting seat and is exposed. The elastic element provides the latch with a force that engages with the locking notch.

[0008] At least two tabletops have locking devices on their end connectors. The tabletop can only be unlocked by simultaneously unlocking the latches on both sides of the same tabletop.

[0009] Furthermore, the hook of the latch extends out of the connecting seat and is exposed, and a guide surface is provided on the side of the hook; the table moves downward and aligns the hook with the locking notch, and under the guidance of the guide surface, the hook engages in the locking notch.

[0010] Furthermore, the hook is located below the connecting seat, and the locking notch is located on the upper surface of the crossbar.

[0011] Furthermore, the latch is provided with a pair of hooks, and the mounting chamber of the connecting seat is provided with a transverse guide groove. The hooks engage with the transverse guide groove and allow the latch to move along the transverse guide groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting seats are hinged to each other via connecting pieces.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting piece is provided with a rotating shaft, which passes through the hole of the connecting seat; the end of the rotating shaft is provided with a large-diameter end, and the inner side of the large-diameter end is provided with a groove, which can deform towards the groove to reduce the outer diameter of the large-diameter end; the outer side of the large-diameter end is provided with an inclined surface.

[0014] Furthermore, the tabletop is made of metal profile, with an open lower surface and flanges on both sides of the lower surface.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper surface of the connecting seat is provided with a transverse channel, and the pushing part of the latch is located on the transverse channel. Under the action of the elastic element, the side of the pushing part of the latch is flush with or substantially flush with the side of the connecting seat.

[0016] Furthermore, the upper surface of the push part of the latch is provided with an inclined surface with anti-slip texture.

[0017] Furthermore, the barrier is provided with a raised edge on the locking side; the tabletop is laid on the crossbar, and the end of the pushing part is located below the raised edge.

[0018] The outstanding and beneficial technical effects of this utility model compared to the prior art are:

[0019] 1. When the desktop of this utility model is placed on the crossbar, the crossbar, the baffle, and the locking buckle and locking notch work together to ensure that the desktop can be stably placed on the two crossbars. The desktop can only be unlocked by the user simultaneously unlocking the two locking buckles on the same desktop. At least two desktops are equipped with locking buckles on both sides. Therefore, the user must unlock the desktop with the locking buckles one by one to unlock the entire desktop. Although the unlocking process is more complicated, the structural stability is significantly improved, effectively preventing the desktop from accidentally falling off.

[0020] 2. The hook of this utility model is located below the connecting seat. When the user places the tabletop on the crossbar, the user simply aligns the hook of the lock with the locking notch, and then pushes the tabletop downwards. Guided by the guide surface, the hook engages with the locking notch, making tabletop installation simple. Furthermore, two of the locking hooks on one side of the tabletop face opposite directions, ensuring the tabletop is effectively secured to the crossbar and preventing it from easily detaching.

[0021] 3. The connecting piece of this utility model connects adjacent connecting seats in series. During assembly, workers only need to insert the rotating shaft of the connecting piece into the hole of the connecting seat and let the large-diameter end engage with the hole. By setting the slot and inclined surface, the large-diameter end of the rotating shaft can easily enter the hole. This structure simplifies the assembly process and reduces production costs.

[0022] 4. The locking push part of this utility model is located at the lower part of the raised edge. The raised edge restricts the upward disengagement of the lock, improving structural stability. Moreover, the raised edge covers the end of the lock. Under the action of the raised edge, the connection between the push part and the stop becomes continuous. Even if the user touches the raised edge when pushing the push part with their finger, the finger can move smoothly to the push part without any discomfort, improving the unlocking experience. In particular, the upper surface of the push part is provided with an inclined surface with anti-slip texture, making it easier for the user to push the lock to unlock. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1-13 As shown:

[0040] An outdoor tabletop mounting structure includes a table frame 1, with crossbars 11 for mounting the tabletop on both sides of the table frame 1. The table frame has no structural requirements; any table frame on the market can be used, as long as the crossbars can be mounted on both sides of the table frame. The tabletop 2 can be laid on the crossbar 11; the tabletop 2 is composed of several table boards 21 connected to each other, and the crossbar 11 is provided with end caps 12 on both sides, which restrict the tabletop 2 from detaching from the crossbar 11 from the end cap 12 side; the crossbar 11 is provided with a baffle 112 on the outer side, which restricts the tabletop 2 from detaching from the baffle 112 side; the end of each table board 21 is fixed with a connecting seat 22, which is provided with a locking device, and the crossbar 11 is provided with a locking notch 111, which can engage with the locking notch and fix the table board to the crossbar; the locking device includes a latch 3 and an elastic element, the pushing part of the latch protrudes from the connecting seat and is exposed, and the elastic element provides force for the latch 3 to engage with the locking notch 111; the end caps 12 and the baffle 112 restrict the movement of the tabletop 2 in multiple directions such as front, back, left and right, and the tabletop is stably fixed by the locking device. Furthermore, at least two tabletops are equipped with locking devices on their end connectors. Tabletop 21 can only be unlocked by simultaneously unlocking the two side latches 3 on the same tabletop. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, locking devices are installed around the four sides of the desktop. Each of the four locking devices independently locks its corresponding locking notch, thus ensuring the desktop is stably fixed to the crossbar. Preferably, locking devices can also be installed on the tabletop itself, which would further improve the desktop's stability. The elastic components are preferably common parts such as springs or elastic soft rubber.

[0041] like Figure 4 , 8 As shown in Figure 10, the hook 31 of the latch protrudes from the connecting seat 22 and is exposed. The hook 31 is located below the connecting seat 22, and a guide surface 311 is provided on the side of the hook. The tabletop 21 moves downward and aligns the hook 31 with the locking notch 111. Guided by the guide surface 311, the hook 31 engages in the locking notch 111. There are two ways for the user to install the tabletop: Method 1, the hook is aligned with the locking notch, and then the tabletop is pushed downward, and the latch can engage in the locking notch; Method 2, the tabletop and the crossbar are compatible. The user uses the crossbar and the end cap as a reference, properly aligns the crossbar and the tabletop, and then pushes the tabletop downward, and the latch can engage in the locking notch. The user can freely choose the installation method according to the actual situation. The locking notch 111 is set on the upper surface of the crossbar 11. Such a locking notch 111 is easier to manufacture, and under the protection of the side baffle 112, the locking notch 111 is almost not subject to accidental collisions, and the locking notch 111 is not easily damaged, thus ensuring the stability of the locking device.

[0042] The latch 3 is provided with a pair of hooks 32, and the mounting chamber of the connecting seat is provided with a transverse guide groove 221. The hooks 32 engage with the transverse guide groove 221 and allow the latch to move along the transverse guide groove 221. This structure facilitates the assembly of the latch; the worker only needs to push the latch 3 into the mounting chamber of the connecting seat.

[0043] The connecting base 22 and the connecting base 22 are hinged together by a connecting piece 23. The connecting piece 23 is provided with a rotating shaft 231, which passes through the hole in the connecting base 22; the end of the rotating shaft is provided with a large-diameter end 233, and the inner side of the large-diameter end 233 is provided with a groove 232, which can deform towards the groove to reduce the outer diameter of the large-diameter end; the outer side of the large-diameter end is provided with an inclined surface 2331. Through this structure, the connecting piece 23 is easy to install, not easy to disassemble, and the connection is stable.

[0044] The tabletop 21 is a metal profile with an open lower surface. The lower surface of the tabletop 21 has flanges 211 on both sides. The flanges 211 are used to limit the connection seat 22. The connection seat 22 and the tabletop 21 can be fixed by tight fitting or by fasteners such as rivets and screws.

[0045] The upper surface of the connecting seat 22 is provided with a transverse channel 222, and the pushing part 33 of the latch is located on the transverse channel 222. Under the action of the elastic element, the side of the pushing part 33 of the latch is flush with or substantially flush with the side of the connecting seat 22. Preferably, the baffle is provided with a raised edge 1121 on one side of the latch; the table can be laid on the crossbar, and the latch is located below the raised edge 1121. The raised edge 1121 houses the end of the pushing part, and the upper surface of the pushing part of the latch is provided with an inclined surface with anti-slip texture. In the installed state, even if the user touches the raised edge when pushing the pushing part with their finger, it can move smoothly onto the pushing part without any discomfort, thus improving the unlocking experience.

[0046] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
