[0023] 1. In this utility model, when a lifting and folding action is required, motor two is activated. Motor two drives the round rod to rotate, which in turn drives bevel gear one to rotate synchronously. Bevel gear one meshes with bevel gear two, thereby driving bevel gear two to rotate. The rotation of bevel gear two is transmitted to the gear, driving the gear to rotate. The gear engages with the rack, causing the rack to move horizontally. The horizontal movement of the rack causes the slide rod to slide on the guide rail, thereby enabling the hinge frame to retract or extend, ultimately completing the folding process of the tabletop.
[0024] 2. In this invention, once the desktop is fully folded, motor one is activated. Motor one drives the cable reel to rotate, initiating the cable winding process. As the cable is retracted, the protective box is slowly lifted and retracted. At this point, the bottom box can be flipped over by the cooperation of the hook and the ring one. The bottom box is then rotated via the hinge and finally stored inside the storage box. After this process is completed, the space occupied by the entire device is significantly reduced, effectively improving space utilization. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a foldable mahjong table structure that can be stored laterally, including a base box 1, a tabletop 15 and a storage box 16. A folding component is installed between the base box 1 and the tabletop 15, and a storage component is installed inside the storage box 16.
[0035] The folding assembly includes a hinge frame 2, which can change the distance between the base box and the tabletop through its extension, retraction, and rotation. The hinge frame 2 is installed between the base box 1 and the tabletop 15. A slide rod 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the hinge frame 2, and a rack 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide rod 4. A gear 11 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the base box 1. The gear 11 and the rack 6 mesh with each other. When the gear 11 rotates, the meshing action of the teeth can drive the rack 6 to move horizontally, thereby driving the hinge frame to move through the slide rod. Two sliding boxes 3 are fixedly connected to the top of the base box 1. The sliding boxes 3 provide a stable track for the sliding of the slide rod 4. The slide rod 4 can only move horizontally along the direction defined by the sliding boxes 3, ensuring the smoothness of the movement of the slide rod 4, and thus ensuring that the hinge frame 2 can stably perform extension and retraction. The slide rod 4 is slidably connected between the two sliding boxes 3. A second motor 13 is installed on the top of the base box 1. The second motor 13 is the power source that drives the gear 11 to rotate. A round rod 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 13. After the second motor 13 is started, it can drive the round rod 8 to rotate. A first bevel gear 9 is fixedly connected to the middle of the round rod 8. A second bevel gear 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the gear 11. The first bevel gear 9 and the second bevel gear 10 mesh with each other. When the first bevel gear 9 rotates, it can transmit power to the second bevel gear 10 through meshing with the second bevel gear 10, so that the second bevel gear 10 drives the gear 11 to rotate. A fixed frame 7 is fixedly connected inside the base box 1. The round rod 8 is rotatably connected inside the fixed frame 7. The fixed frame 7 supports and positions the round rod 8 to ensure that the round rod 8 can rotate stably.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The storage assembly includes a motor 17, which provides stable power output for the entire storage process. The motor 17 is fixedly connected to the outside of the storage box 16. The output end of the motor 17 is fixedly connected to a take-up reel 19. Both ends of the take-up reel 19 are fixedly connected to pull cables 21. The pull cables 21 can be retracted and extended as the take-up reel 19 rotates. The other end of the pull cables 21 is fixedly connected to a hook 22. Both sides of the bottom box 1 are fixedly connected to rings 23. The hooks 22 are located inside the rings 23. The cooperation between the hooks 22 and the rings 23 can connect the pull cables 21 to the bottom box 1, making it easy to pull the bottom box 1 for flipping and storage. The inside of the storage box 16 is fixedly connected to two rings 20. The pull cables 21 pass through the rings 20. The rings 20 guide the direction of the pull cables 21, so that the pull cables 21 can pull the bottom box 1 along a predetermined path, avoiding tangling or deviation of the pull cables 21 during the pulling process, and ensuring the smooth progress of the storage action.
[0037] Reference Figures 1-3The base box 1 has a fixedly connected slot box 5 inside, and a rack 6 is slidably connected inside the slot box 5. The slot box 5 provides guidance and protection for the movement of the rack 6, ensuring that the rack 6 can only slide horizontally within the slot box 5 and preventing it from deviating from the predetermined trajectory. Multiple multi-layer telescopic rods 14 are installed between the base box 1 and the tabletop 15. The multi-layer telescopic rods 14 can extend and retract with the raising and lowering of the tabletop 15, providing auxiliary support and enhancing the stability of the tabletop 15 during use and folding. A protective box 12 is fixedly connected between the two sliding boxes 3. The protective box 12 provides dustproof, moisture-proof, and collision-proof protection for internal components such as the second motor 13. The second motor 13 is installed in the protective box 12. Inside, a motor box 18 is fixedly connected to the outside of the storage box 16. The motor 17 is installed inside the motor box 18. The motor box 18 provides a stable installation position and protection for the motor 17, ensuring that the motor 17 will not be easily disturbed by the outside when it is working. The bottom box 1 is rotatably connected to a detachable plate 25 via a hinge 24. The hinge 24 allows the bottom box 1 to rotate relative to the detachable plate 25, thereby realizing the flipping and storage of the bottom box 1. The detachable plate 25 is slidably connected inside the storage box 16. When the mahjong table needs to be used, the detachable plate 25 can be removed from the storage box 16, and then the round hook 22 and the round ring 23 can be separated to complete the disassembly. The operation is simple and convenient to carry and store.
[0038] Working principle: First, when lifting and folding are required, motor 13 is started. Motor 13 drives the round rod 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the bevel gear 9 to rotate. The bevel gear 9 drives the bevel gear 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 11 to rotate. The rack 6 can move horizontally, which drives the slide rod 4 to slide, thereby realizing the retraction and extension of the hinge frame 2, thus realizing the folding of the tabletop 15.
[0039] Secondly, after folding completely, start motor 17 to drive take-up drum 19 to take in the line, and the protective box 12 is slowly retracted. At this time, the bottom box 1 can be flipped over and stored by using hook 22 and ring 23. It can then be rotated into the storage box 16 by hinge 24, thus completing the storage and improving the utilization of space.
[0040] When needed, the base box 1 is flipped over by motor 17 until it is horizontal, the round hook 22 is disengaged from the ring 23, and the detachable plate 25 is removed to complete the disassembly. The operation is simple and convenient, and it is easy to carry.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
