Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, and in particular to a round dining table that is easy to adjust and use. Background Technology

[0002] A dining table is a table used to place food and for people to eat. It is also an important part of home decoration. Currently, the most common shapes are square and round.

[0003] Round dining tables require a lot of space due to their larger size. For families with small living and dining areas and a large number of people, using a round dining table will result in insufficient remaining space, while using a square dining table will not allow all family members to sit at the table for meals.

[0004] Existing technologies typically address this issue by folding the tabletop of a round table. Usually, the two sides of the round tabletop are folded, creating a racetrack shape and reducing the floor space occupied. When in use, the folded tabletop is unfolded to restore the round shape. However, such round tables generally require a large base for support, which reduces the table's flexibility. Although this saves some space when not in use, it still negatively impacts the effective use of the living and dining room space. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, this utility model provides a round dining table that is easy to adjust and use.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a round dining table that is easy to adjust and use, including a tabletop and a support frame. The tabletop includes a main board and wing plates hinged to its two sides. The support frame includes fixed feet and movable feet. The fixed feet are fixedly connected to the bottom of the main board. An arc-shaped groove is opened at the bottom of the wing plate. A pin is slidably connected in the groove. A universal joint is provided between the pin and the movable foot. A limit plate is also provided at the upper end of the movable foot. A limit hole for cooperating with the limit plate is opened at the bottom of the wing plate.

[0007] By adopting the above solution, the movable legs are designed to be linked with the wing panels. When the wing panels are unfolded, the movable legs can be pulled out from under the tabletop and unfold accordingly, then support the wing panels. When the wing panels are folded, the movable legs can be retracted under the tabletop, and only the fixed legs support the tabletop. This ensures that the tabletop has good support conditions in both states, thus eliminating the need for a large base to maintain stability. Instead, a frame-type bracket can be used, reducing the overall weight of the dining table, facilitating its movement, and helping to rationally arrange the spatial layout of the living and dining areas.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the fixed foot is provided with a pin, and the bottom of the movable foot is provided with a socket for engaging with the pin.

[0009] By adopting the above solution, the connection between the socket and the pin allows the movable leg to be fixed to the fixed leg when stored, preventing the movable leg from being lost or moved around, thereby ensuring the structural integrity of the dining table.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the movable foot is equipped with casters.

[0011] By adopting the above solution, the casters make the movable legs more flexible. When folding and unfolding, there is no need to lift the tabletop. Instead, the table can be moved directly in contact with the ground, reducing the difficulty of operation when changing the form of the dining table.

[0012] Furthermore, a reinforcing component is provided between the movable foot and the fixed foot, the reinforcing component including a connecting rod, and both the movable foot and the fixed foot are provided with oblique holes for the connecting rod to be inserted.

[0013] By adopting the above solution, the reinforcement components can connect the fixed feet and the movable feet, thereby improving the overall integrity of the legs and thus the stability of the tabletop. At the same time, the connecting rods can be used to connect the two in an oblique manner, so that the legs form multiple triangular structures, thereby further improving the stability and load-bearing capacity of the dining table.

[0014] Furthermore: a fixing hole is provided on the movable foot or fixed foot located on the side adjacent to the inclined hole, and a through hole is provided on the connecting rod. The fixing hole is used to communicate with the through hole, and a fixing pin is provided in the fixing hole for insertion into the through hole.

[0015] By adopting the above solution, the fixing pins can fix both ends of the connecting rod to the movable foot and the fixed foot respectively, preventing the connecting rod from coming out and thus ensuring that the connecting rod can smoothly perform its supporting function.

[0016] Furthermore, the fixed foot is provided with a crossbar, and the crossbar is provided with a storage groove for placing the connecting rod.

[0017] By adopting the above solution, the storage slot can store the connecting rod in the folded state, prevent it from being lost, ensure that it can be taken out in the unfolded state, and strengthen the support legs.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottom of the slide is provided with a slot, and the top of the pin is provided with a locking block for engaging with the slot.

[0019] By adopting the above solution, the slot and the block can prevent the pin from falling out of the slide and ensure that the movable foot can move with the movement of the wing plate.

[0020] Furthermore: movable grooves are provided on both sides of the movable foot, the limiting plate slides along the movable grooves, and a fastening bolt penetrating the movable foot is provided on the limiting plate.

[0021] By adopting the above solution: the limit plate restricts the rotation of the universal joint. Therefore, by setting it to be movable, the restriction on the universal joint can be released when the movable foot needs to rotate, ensuring that the movable foot can rotate normally. When the movable foot needs to be fixed, the restriction on the universal joint can be achieved to prevent the movable foot from rotating.

[0022] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] By incorporating folding wing panels, the round table can be either unfolded or folded depending on whether it is in use. This ensures a sufficiently large tabletop when in use, while saving space when not in use. The movable legs can also change their position depending on the wing panels. When the wing panels are open, the movable legs can directly support them, providing better support and improving the stability of the round table. When the wing panels are folded, the movable legs can be stored under the tabletop, without taking up additional space. Furthermore, the legs under the tabletop are part of the frame structure rather than an integral base, thus reducing the overall weight of the dining table and improving its flexibility. When folded, it can also be moved to a corner for storage, which is beneficial for a more rational arrangement of the living and dining room space. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a round dining table that is easy to adjust and use includes a tabletop 1 and a support frame 2. The tabletop 1 includes a main board 11 and wing plates 12 hinged to its two sides. The support frame 2 includes fixed feet 21 and movable feet 22. The fixed feet 21 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the main board 11. The wing plates 12 can be folded to change the size of the tabletop area. When in use, the wing plates 12 are opened to obtain a larger area. When not in use, the wing plates 12 are folded to save space. This is conducive to the rational arrangement of living and dining room space. In the folded state, the fixed feet 21 can bear the weight independently, while the movable feet 22 assist in bearing the weight of the wing plates 12 independently. This makes the unfolded tabletop more stable and can hold more items. In addition, compared with the base support in the prior art, the support frame 2 is a frame structure, which has the advantages of being lightweight and highly flexible. When folded, the dining table can be moved to a corner, thereby freeing up more space in the living and dining room and better solving the problem of round tables taking up space.

[0034] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the bottom of the wing plate 12 has an arc-shaped groove 121, and the top of the movable foot 22 is provided with a pin 122 that slides within the groove 121. When the wing plate 12 is unfolded, the pin 122 slides to the end of the groove 121 and the movable foot 22 is perpendicular to the tabletop 1. This arrangement allows the top of the movable foot 22 to move with the movement of the wing plate 12, creating a certain linkage effect, thereby facilitating the support of the movable foot 22 on the wing plate 12 after it is unfolded. The bottom of the groove 121 is provided with a locking groove. The top of the pin 122 is provided with a locking block 125 for engaging with the slot. The pin 122 and the movable foot 22 are connected by a universal joint 123. The universal joint 123 has the characteristic of a large rotation angle and supports rotation in two directions. Using the universal joint 123 as the connection structure between the movable foot 22 and the pin 122 can make the movable foot 22 more flexible, reduce the interference between the wing plate 12 and the movable foot 22 when the wing plate 12 is opened, and make the process of switching the desktop state smoother.

[0035] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the fixed foot 21 is provided with a pin 211, and the bottom of the movable foot 22 is provided with a socket 222 for engaging with the pin 211. The pin 211 and socket 222 can fix the bottom of the movable foot 22 when the wing plate 12 is folded, thereby creating a more secure connection between it and the fixed foot 21. This can, to a certain extent, prevent the movable foot 22 from being lost and ensure the integrity of the structure. A reinforcing component is provided between the movable foot 22 and the fixed foot 21. The reinforcing component can connect the movable foot 22 and the fixed foot 21 at an angle, thereby forming a stable triangular structure, which further enhances the overall stability of the round table. The reinforcing component includes a connecting rod 3, the movable foot 22, and the fixed foot 21. Both the movable foot 22 and the fixed foot 21 are provided with oblique holes 4 for inserting the connecting rod 3. The movable foot 22 or the fixed foot 21 located on the side adjacent to the oblique hole 4 is provided with a fixing hole 5. The connecting rod 3 is provided with a through hole 6. The fixing hole 5 is used to communicate with the through hole 6. A fixing pin 7 is provided in the fixing hole 5 for inserting into the through hole 6. This setting allows the connecting rod 3 to be fixed in a simple way, thereby preventing the connecting rod 3 from loosening and allowing the connecting rod 3 to fully perform its supporting function. The fixed foot 21 is provided with a crossbar 212. The crossbar 212 is provided with a storage groove 213 for placing the connecting rod 3. The storage groove 213 can store the connecting rod 3 when the wing plate 12 is folded, preventing the connecting rod 3 from being lost.

[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a limiting plate 221 is provided at the upper end of the movable foot 22, and a limiting hole 124 is provided at the bottom of the wing plate 12 for cooperating with the limiting plate 221. The limiting plate 221 and the limiting hole 124 can restrict the rotation of the universal joint 123, so that the rotation of the movable foot 22 can be restricted after the wing plate 12 is unfolded, keeping the movable foot 22 vertical, thereby giving the movable foot 22 a high support capacity. Movable grooves 224 are provided on both sides of the movable foot 22, and the limiting plate 221 slides along the movable grooves 224. A fastening bolt 225 is provided on the limiting plate 221 that passes through the movable foot 22. The fastening bolt 224 is used to limit the position of the limiting plate 221, thereby giving the limiting plate 221 the ability to move. When it is necessary to adjust the state of the movable foot 22, it can be achieved by adjusting the fastening bolt 225.

[0037] The scope of protection of this utility model includes, but is not limited to, the above embodiments. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the claims. Any substitutions, modifications, or improvements to this technology that are easily conceived by those skilled in the art shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
