Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dining table technology, and in particular to an extendable dining table. Background Technology
[0002] An extendable dining table is a type of furniture with an adjustable tabletop area, designed to meet the changing needs for table space in different scenarios. In daily life, when there are fewer family members, the extendable dining table can be retracted to a smaller size to save dining space; while in occasions with more people dining, such as family gatherings or holiday meals, the table can be extended to meet the needs of multiple people dining at the same time, making it convenient to place tableware, food, and drinks.
[0003] Existing extendable dining tables typically only extend horizontally. However, when dining out with hot pot, the side dishes often fill the entire table, leaving diners with nowhere to put their arms while eating, which affects their comfort. Therefore, a new type of extendable dining table is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an extendable dining table to solve the problem mentioned in the background art, where existing extendable dining tables can usually only be extended horizontally. When dining together and eating hot pot, the side dishes usually fill the table, leaving diners with nowhere to put their arms while eating, which affects their comfort.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model is an extendable dining table, comprising:
[0007] The main body of the dining table includes a main tabletop, an extension board, and table legs. The extension board is movably connected to the top two sides of the main tabletop, and the table legs are fixedly installed at the four bottom corners of the main tabletop.
[0008] A vertical space expansion component, comprising an outer plate, wherein the outer plate is movably connected between the table legs, and the outer plate is located at the bottom of the main tabletop.
[0009] Furthermore, the vertical space expansion component also includes a limiting groove and a limiting slider. The limiting groove is provided on the table leg, and the limiting slider is fixedly connected to the four ends of the outer plate. The limiting groove is movably connected to the limiting slider.
[0010] Furthermore, the vertical space expansion component also includes a rectangular groove, a threaded groove, and an adjusting screw. The rectangular groove is provided on the table leg, the threaded groove is provided on the limiting slider, and the adjusting screw is movably connected between the rectangular groove and the threaded groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the width of the rectangular groove is half the width of the table leg.
[0012] Furthermore, the device also includes a robust support assembly, which includes a support rod, and the bottom of the outer plate is provided with the support rod.
[0013] Furthermore, the robust support assembly also includes a strip block, a first circular groove, a second circular groove, a fixing screw, and a nut. The strip block is fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the outer plate. The first circular groove is opened through the strip block, and the second circular groove is opened through one side of the support rod. The fixing screw is movably inserted between the first circular groove and the second circular groove, and the nut is connected to the fixing screw.
[0014] Furthermore, there are a total of two support rods, which are staggered at the bottom of the outer plate.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0016] This invention expands the vertical space by movably connecting an outer plate to the bottom of the main tabletop. This allows excess food to be placed on the outer plate, increasing the free space on the main tabletop and the extension plate. This provides diners with ample armroom while eating, ensuring comfort. Furthermore, the outer plate can slide and be fixed on the table legs by adjusting screws, rectangular slots, and threaded slots. When not in use, the outer plate can be pressed tightly against the bottom of the main tabletop, providing space for chairs.
[0017] Based on the aforementioned beneficial effects, by rotating the support rods at both ends to the ground, and then using the fixing screws and nuts, the rotated support rods can be firmly fixed. At this time, the support rods at both ends can provide additional sufficient support to the external plate, preventing the external plate from slipping due to the heavy pressure of the food.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment is an extended dining table, including:
[0032] The main body of the dining table includes a main tabletop 101, an extension plate 102, and table legs 103. The extension plate 102 is movably connected to the top two sides of the main tabletop 101, and the table legs 103 are fixedly installed at the four bottom corners of the main tabletop 101.
[0033] The vertical space expansion component includes an outer plate 201, which is movably connected between the table legs 103. The outer plate 201 is located at the bottom of the main tabletop 101.
[0034] The external panel 201 provides a secure place for excess food items.
[0035] The vertical space expansion component also includes a limiting slide 202 and a limiting slider 203. The limiting slide 202 is opened on the table leg 103. The limiting slider 203 is fixedly connected to the four ends of the external plate 201. The limiting slide 202 is movably connected to the limiting slider 203.
[0036] The limiting slide 202 and the limiting slider 203 work together to ensure the up and down movement of the external plate 201.
[0037] The vertical space expansion component also includes a rectangular groove 204, a threaded groove 205, and an adjusting screw 206. The rectangular groove 204 is provided on the table leg 103, the threaded groove 205 is provided on the limit slider 203, and the adjusting screw 206 is movably connected between the rectangular groove 204 and the threaded groove 205.
[0038] The above-mentioned components work together to ensure the fixation of the external plate 201 after it moves up and down.
[0039] The width of the rectangular groove 204 is half the width of the table leg 103;
[0040] The dimensions of the aforementioned components ensure that the table leg 103 has sufficient area to contact the bolt head of the adjusting screw 206, thus guaranteeing a secure connection.
[0041] It also includes a robust support assembly, which includes a support rod 301, and the support rod 301 is provided at the bottom of the outer plate 201;
[0042] Support rod 301 is used to generate support force.
[0043] The robust support assembly also includes a strip block 302, a first circular groove 303, a second circular groove 304, a fixing screw 305, and a nut 306. The strip block 302 is fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the outer plate 201. The first circular groove 303 is opened through the strip block 302. The second circular groove 304 is opened through one side of the support rod 301. The fixing screw 305 is movably inserted between the first circular groove 303 and the second circular groove 304. The nut 306 is connected to the fixing screw 305.
[0044] The strip block 302 provides a guarantee for the opening of the first circular groove 303. The fixing screw 305 is movably inserted into the second circular groove 304, which provides a guarantee for the rotation of the support rod 301. The nut 306 provides a guarantee for the fixation of the support rod 301 after rotation.
[0045] There are two support rods 301 in total, and they are staggered at the bottom of the outer plate 201;
[0046] The quantity and placement of the support rods 301 ensure a secure support.
[0047] Working principle: When dining with a hot pot, pull the extension plate 102 open to the left and right. Then loosen the adjusting screw 206 at the rectangular groove 204 and the threaded groove 205. Then move the outer plate 201 downward. After moving it to the appropriate position, tighten the adjusting screw 206 and then loosen the nut 306. At this time, rotate the support rod 301 around the fixing screw 305 until one end of the support rod 301 is firmly in contact with the ground. Then tighten the nut 306. This step allows diners to have enough space to place their arms while eating, ensuring the comfort of eating, and at the same time, it can prevent the outer plate 201 from slipping due to the pressure of the food.
