The connecting surface 31 has a plurality of connecting holes 311 for bolts to pass through from the bottom upwards. The connecting plate 32 has at least two connecting holes 321 arranged sequentially from top to bottom, such as two or three connecting holes. The line connecting at least two connecting holes 321 on the connecting plate 32 can be perpendicular or non-perpendicular to the connecting surface 31; when perpendicular, it is used to vertically fix the table leg 2 to the bottom of the tabletop 1; when non-perpendicular, it is used to fix the table leg 2 to the bottom of the tabletop 1 at an angle.
[0033] See attached document Figure 4 As shown, the second connector 4 is an improvement on the first connector 3, namely, two connecting plates 42 are provided at the lower part of the connecting surface 41, and both connecting plates 42 are symmetrically inclined outward. That is, the second connector 4 can be used to connect two table legs 2 at the same time.
[0034] See attached document Figure 5 As shown, the top of the table leg 2 is provided with a first limiting U-shaped groove 21 for the connecting plate 32 or the connecting plate 42 to be inserted. The two side walls of the first limiting U-shaped groove 21 are respectively provided with bolt mounting holes 211 that correspond one-to-one with the connecting holes on the connecting plate 32 or the connecting plate 42.
[0035] As attached Figure 1 and 2As shown, the table in this embodiment includes a tabletop 1 and four table legs 2 respectively disposed at the bottom of the tabletop 1. The four table legs 2 are arranged in pairs at both ends of the tabletop 1, and the tops of two pairs of table legs 2 are respectively fixedly connected to the two connecting plates 42 of the second connecting member 4 by bolts. The connecting surface 41 of the second connecting member 4 is bolted to the bottom surface of the tabletop 1. Of course, the four table legs 2 can also be fixedly connected to the bottom of the tabletop 1 by the first connecting member 3.
[0036] Preferably, a connecting corner plate 33 is provided between the connecting plate 32 and the connecting surface 31 to ensure the stability of the connecting plate 32. Furthermore, a connecting corner plate 43 is also provided between the connecting plate 42 and the connecting surface 41, similarly ensuring the stability of the connecting plate 42.
[0037] To further ensure the stability of the table, this embodiment also includes forked legs 5 and a third connector 6. The third connector 6 is also made of metal.
[0038] See attached document Figure 6 As shown, the upper part of the forked support leg 5 is provided with a second limiting U-shaped groove 51, which has the same structure as the first limiting U-shaped groove 21, and is used to fix it to the bottom of the tabletop 1 through the first connecting member 3.
[0039] See attached document Figure 7 As shown, the third connector 6 includes a connecting surface 61, with a connecting plate 62 fixed to one side and a limiting connecting block 63 fixed to the other side. At least two connecting holes 621 are sequentially arranged from bottom to top on the connecting plate 62. The bottom of the forked leg 5 is provided with a third limiting U-shaped groove 52 for the connecting plate 62 to be inserted. Bolt mounting holes 521, corresponding one-to-one with the connecting holes on the connecting plate 62, are respectively provided on the two side walls of the third limiting U-shaped groove 52.
[0040] The limiting connecting block 63 is provided with at least two horizontal connecting holes 631, and the middle part of the table leg 2 is provided with a limiting connecting groove 22 for the limiting connecting block 63 to extend into. The two sides of the limiting connecting groove 22 are respectively provided with horizontal mounting holes 221 that correspond one-to-one with the horizontal connecting holes 631. The upper end of the forked support leg 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tabletop 1 through the first connecting member 3, and its lower end is fixedly connected to the table leg 2 through the third connecting member 6, which provides favorable support for the table leg 2.
[0041] Preferably, the U-shaped opening direction of the second limiting U-shaped groove 51 at the upper part of the forked support leg 5 is perpendicular to the U-shaped opening direction of the third limiting U-shaped groove 52 at the lower part, and a connecting angle plate 64 is provided between the connecting plate 62 of the third connector 6 and the connecting surface 61, which can better ensure the stability of the forked support leg 5 between the tabletop 1 and the table leg 2.
[0042] The limiting connecting groove 22 in the middle of the table leg 2 is set as a countersunk hole structure, so that the connecting surface 61 of the third connector 6 and the limiting connecting block 63 are both embedded in the table leg 2, ensuring the flatness of the side of the table leg.
[0043] In this embodiment, both the table legs 2 and the forked support legs 5 adopt a square rod structure that is thicker in the middle and thinner at both ends. The tabletop 1 adopts a long strip-shaped tabletop structure.
[0044] To enhance the support of the long, narrow tabletop, a metal support 7 is also provided in the center of the bottom of the tabletop 1. (See attached image) Figure 2 As shown, the metal support 7 includes a horizontal support plate 71 and a vertical support plate 72 disposed on its bottom surface. The horizontal support plate 71 is disposed along the length of the tabletop 1, and the horizontal support plate 71 is provided with a plurality of bolt connection holes 711 for bolts to pass through from bottom to top. The vertical support plate 72 adopts an inverted triangular structure extending downward from the middle of the bottom, further providing support for the long tabletop.
[0045] Furthermore, the bottom of the tabletop 1 is also provided with a connecting surface for the first connector 3 and the second connector 4, as well as a limiting groove 11 into which the horizontal support plate 71 is embedded, which can also ensure the flatness of the bottom surface of the tabletop 1. In addition, all bolt connection holes in this embodiment adopt a countersunk hole structure, which can further ensure the flatness of the surface of the table leg part and greatly improve the aesthetics.
[0046] This utility model table achieves a stable connection between the table legs and the tabletop through metal connecting components. Furthermore, the structural design of the connecting parts exposes some of the metal, creating a perfect combination of metal and wood. This represents the inventor's first attempt to apply architectural structural concepts to furniture, resulting in a highly modern furniture product. The table features a simple, sturdy, and reliable structure, an attractive appearance, and a strong modern home décor, meeting the requirements of contemporary decorating styles.
[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes or alterations made by those skilled in the art using the above-disclosed technical content shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
