[0019] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model discloses an outdoor folding platform support leg connector, which is disposed at the corner of the outdoor folding platform. The outdoor folding platform includes a panel and a frame disposed around the panel. The support leg connector includes a connecting block 1 and a support leg clamping member 2. One side of the connecting block 1 is fixedly connected to the outdoor folding platform, and the support leg clamping member 2 is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting block 1. The support leg clamping member 2 includes an elastic clamp 21 and a handle 22. The cross-section of the elastic clamp 21 is a large arc ring (i.e., an arc ring larger than a semicircle), and the handle 22 is connected to the end of the elastic clamp 21 that is not connected to the connecting block 1. The inner cavity of the elastic clamp 21 (the space for accommodating the support leg members) is inclined from top to bottom towards the outside of the outdoor folding platform, so that the support leg members are arranged in an outward octagonal shape, making the support more stable. The connecting block 1 includes a middle connecting part 11 and side connecting parts 12 located at both ends of the middle connecting part 11. The middle connecting part 11 is fixed to the panel, the bottom of the side connecting part 12 is connected to the panel, and the top of the side connecting part 12 is connected to the frame.
[0020] Specifically, the aforementioned outrigger connector is a one-piece molded structure to improve overall strength and reliability and simplify the production process; the outrigger connector is made of aluminum alloy, which achieves lightweight while ensuring sufficient strength and has good weather resistance.
[0021] In the embodiments of this utility model, one side of the above-mentioned intermediate connecting part 11 is fixedly connected to the support leg clamping member 2, and the other side of the intermediate connecting part 11 (i.e. the side facing the inner side of the platform) is provided with a connecting hole 3, which is used to further strengthen the connection with the panel by means of bolts, screws or tenons; each side connecting part 12 is provided with a connecting hole 3, which is used to strengthen the connection with the panel (bottom) and the frame (top) by means of bolts, screws or tenons respectively.

The intermediate connecting part 11 is also additionally fixed to the panel by means of tenons or bolts, and the side connecting part 12 is also connected to the frame by means of tenons or bolts. This combination of welding and mechanical connection (tenons / bolts) greatly improves the stability and durability of the connection.
[0023] In an embodiment of this utility model, the connecting block 1 has a hollow structure. This design effectively reduces the overall weight and saves material costs while maintaining the necessary structural strength and rigidity.
[0024] During installation:
[0025] Place the connecting blocks at the corners of the platform, so that the middle connecting part fits against the panel, the bottom of the side connecting part fits against the panel, and the top fits against the frame.
[0026] The connecting blocks (bottom side of the middle connecting part and bottom side of the side connecting part) are initially fixed to the panel by welding. At the same time, secondary reinforcement can be achieved by using bolts, screws or mortise and tenon structures through the connecting holes provided on the other side of the middle connecting part and the side connecting part, especially to firmly connect the top of the side connecting part to the frame.
[0027] Turn the handle to insert the outrigger rod into the elastic clamp of the outrigger clamp (which is fixed to the connecting block or integrally formed), and release the handle at the appropriate position to use the elastic deformation of the clamp to clamp the outrigger.
[0028] When the platform needs to be folded up, pull the handle outwards to open the elastic clamps, and you can easily remove the outriggers from the clamps and then place the outriggers inside the folding platform.
