Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dining table technology, and more specifically, to a deformable dining table. Background Technology
[0002] Dining tables are one of the essential pieces of furniture in a home. Traditional dining tables mostly have a fixed tabletop structure, and the size of the tabletop cannot be changed. When the space where the dining table is placed or the occasion for its use changes, such as moving it from a large room to a small room, or changes in the number of diners, or alternation between use and idleness, it will bring a lot of inconvenience.
[0003] Existing deformable dining tables have several shortcomings in use: First, the stability after the tabletop extends or retracts is poor, making it prone to sliding under pressure. Adjustment also requires tools, making operation cumbersome and difficult to adapt to different scenarios. Second, the folding components lack a dedicated storage structure, making them easy to lose or damage if placed haphazardly, and they also take up extra space, making them particularly unsuitable for small apartments. Furthermore, the folding structure is easily worn down by squeezing and collisions, affecting its lifespan. Third, the tabletop has poor guidance when deforming, making it prone to shifting or jamming, resulting in insufficient flatness after extension. In addition, its load-bearing capacity is limited, and it is prone to deformation when heavy objects are placed on it, making it difficult to achieve a balance between functionality and convenience.
[0004] This invention improves the practicality and convenience of the deformable dining table. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art by providing a deformable dining table.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a deformable dining table, comprising: a table body;
[0007] The table body includes two support groups.
[0008] A positioning plate is disposed inside the two support groups;
[0009] Extension plate, which is installed between the support assembly and the positioning plate.
[0010] The support assembly includes a support leg, a panel, and a support plate. The support plate is fixedly installed on the inner side of the support leg, and the panel is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support plate, with the upper end of the panel and the upper end of the support leg on the same horizontal plane.
[0011] A further preferred embodiment: connecting plates are embedded at both ends of the inner sides of the two support plates, and retaining rings are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the positioning plate. The retaining rings are nested on the outer surface of the connecting plates, and the retaining rings are fixedly connected to the connecting plates. The interior of the support plates is hollow.
[0012] Further preferred solution: Positioning blocks are fixedly installed at the bottoms of the panels of the two support groups and the bottom of the extension plate. A connecting rod penetrates through the positioning block. Cushion blocks are fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting rod. The connecting rod is movably connected to the positioning block.
[0013] Further preferred solution: Each extension plate includes two limiting plates. The two limiting plates are connected by a hinge on the inner side and can be folded. When the extension plate is extended, its top is on the same horizontal plane as the top of the panel.
[0014] Further preferred solution: A hanging rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the positioning plate. The hanging rod is in a "U" shape. The two limiting plates can be placed on the upper end of the hanging rod after being folded.
[0015] Further preferred solution: A number of card slots are opened on the inner side of the panel, on one side of the two extension plates and the positioning plate. A number of card rods are fixedly installed on one side of the two extension plates, the positioning plate and one side of the extension plate. The card slots and the card rods among the three are arranged in a staggered manner.
[0016] Further preferred solution: The card rod can be embedded into the card slot, and the outer side of the card rod is conical. The card rod and the card slot are detachably connected.
[0017] Further preferred solution: A sliding groove is opened on the inner side of the support plate. The sliding groove is interconnected with the inside of the support plate. A sliding rod is embedded in the sliding groove. One side of the sliding rod is fixedly installed on the inner side of the connecting plate.
[0018] Beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. By setting card rods, the stability and adaptability after the tabletop is adjusted are improved; the outer side of the card rod is conical, forming a staggered fit with the card slots on the panel, the extension plate and the positioning plate. When the tabletop is extended or contracted to the target length, the conical card rod can quickly embed into the corresponding card slot through the inclined plane guide, and the self-locking characteristic of the conical structure is used to enhance the connection tightness, effectively preventing the tabletop from sliding due to force during use and ensuring that the tableware is placed stably; at the same time, the detachable design of the card rod and the card slot makes the adjustment operation more flexible, and the fixing and unlocking can be completed without tools, and both the elderly and children can easily operate; it is suitable for various scenarios from a single-person small tabletop to a multi-person dinner tabletop, not only strengthening the structural stability but also retaining the flexibility of the deformation function, greatly enhancing the practical value of the dining table;
[0020] 2. With the addition of a hanging rod, the two limiting plates of the extension board can be placed directly on the top of the hanging rod after being folded by the hinges. This avoids the loss, damage, or extra space occupation caused by haphazard placement of folded parts, making it especially suitable for small apartments. The hanging rod is fixed to the bottom of the positioning plate, in a concealed position and with stable load-bearing capacity, reliably supporting the folded limiting plates and preventing them from shaking or falling. In addition, this storage method makes it more convenient to access the folded parts, eliminating the need to search for a separate storage location. The parts can be directly removed from the hanging rod and unfolded for the next use, reducing the number of operation steps. The presence of the hanging rod also indirectly protects the folding structure, preventing the folded parts from being worn due to compression and collision, extending the service life of the dining table, and balancing practicality and durability.
[0021] 3. A positioning block, serving as the core component connecting the panel, extension plate, and connecting rod, provides precise guidance and stable support for tabletop deformation through its movable connection with the connecting rod. The positioning block is fixed to the bottom of the panel and extension plate, fitted onto the outside of the connecting rod, and can slide along the rod, ensuring that the panel and extension plate maintain parallel movement during extension and retraction, preventing offset or jamming, and guaranteeing the flatness of the top of the tabletop after extension. Simultaneously, the positioning block evenly distributes the weight of the panel and extension plate to the connecting rod, and then further distributes it to the support assembly through the pads at both ends, enhancing the overall structure's load-bearing capacity and preventing deformation even when heavy objects are placed on it. The pads at both ends of the connecting rod, in conjunction with the positioning block, effectively limit the sliding range of the positioning block, preventing components from detaching during adjustment and reducing the risk of use. The positioning block design simplifies the deformation operation, allowing for flexible adjustment of the tabletop length without complex assembly, enabling quick switching between daily use and storage modes, balancing functionality and convenience.
[0022] 4. In summary, this type of deformable dining table, through the inclusion of a locking rod and other structures, with the outer side of the rod being tapered and engaging with the staggered slot, achieves both stable locking after the tabletop extends or retracts, preventing slippage, and supports quick assembly and disassembly without tools, making it suitable for various scenarios. The hanging rod provides a dedicated storage space for the folded limiting plate, preventing parts from being lost or occupying space, and also protects the folding structure, extending its service life. The positioning block and connecting rod slide together, providing precise guidance for the tabletop's deformation, ensuring parallelism and flatness during extension and retraction, while evenly distributing weight to enhance load-bearing capacity. Combined with pads to prevent parts from detaching, the operation process is simplified. The combined effect of these three elements allows the dining table to achieve an efficient balance between stable load-bearing capacity, flexible deformation, and convenient storage, making it particularly suitable for small apartments and other spaces with limited space.

[0029] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figures 1-5 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described.
[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a deformable dining table includes: a table body 1; a support group 2, the table body 1 including two support groups 2; a positioning plate 3 disposed inside the two support groups 2; and an extension plate 4 disposed between the support groups 2 and the positioning plate 3. The support group 2 includes support legs 201, a panel 202, and a support plate 203. The support plate 203 is fixedly installed inside the support legs 201, and the panel 202 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support plate 203, with the upper end of the panel 202 and the upper end of the support legs 201 on the same horizontal plane. Connecting plates 204 are embedded at both ends of the inner sides of the two support plates 203. Retaining rings 301 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the positioning plate 3, the retaining rings 301 nesting on the outer surface of the connecting plate 204, and the retaining rings 301 and the connecting plate 204 are fixedly connected. The support plate 203 is hollow inside. Positioning blocks 205 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the panel 202 of the two support groups 2 and the bottom of the extension plate 4. A connecting rod 206 is provided through the positioning block 205. Pads are fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting rod 206. The connecting rod 206 and the positioning block 205 are movably connected.
[0031] When in use, the two support groups 2 of the table body 1 form a stable foundation through the positioning plate 3. The retaining ring 301 at the bottom of the positioning plate 3 is nested on the connecting plate 204 inside the support plate 203 of the support group 2, and the retaining ring 301 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 204. This structure locks the relative position of the two support groups 2, ensuring the stability of the overall frame. The support leg 201 provides vertical support for the entire dining table. The support plate 203 is fixed inside the support leg 201, which not only strengthens the structural strength of the support leg 201 but also provides an installation base for the panel 202. The panel 202 is fixed to the upper end of the support plate 203 and is flush with the upper end of the support leg 201, forming the initial base table surface. The relative position of the panel 202 and the extension plate 4 is adjusted by the movable structure of the positioning block 205 and the connecting rod 206. The positioning blocks 205 at the bottom of the panel 202 and the extension plate 4 are both fitted onto the connecting rod 206, and the connecting rod 206 and the positioning block 205 are movably connected and can slide relative to each other. When deformation is required, such as extending the table surface, pushing the panel 202 or the extension plate 4 will cause the positioning block 205 to slide along the connecting rod 206, thereby changing the distance between the panel 202 and the extension plate 4. The pads at both ends of the connecting rod 206 act as limiters to prevent the positioning block 205 from slipping off the ends of the connecting rod 206, ensuring the safety of the adjustment process.
[0032] The positioning plate 3 is fixed to the connecting plate 204 of the support group 2 via the retaining ring 301. Combined with the synergistic support of the support leg 201 and the support plate 203, the basic frame of the dining table is stable and not easily shaken. The top of the panel 202 is flush with the upper end of the support leg 201, and the force is evenly distributed, which can stably support tableware and other items. With the movable connection of the positioning block 205 and the connecting rod 206, the relative position of the panel 202 and the extension plate 4 can be flexibly adjusted to realize the extension and retraction of the tabletop length, which can meet the needs of different scenarios such as daily family life and gatherings with friends. The deformation process can be completed simply by pushing the panel 202 or the extension plate 4, without complicated disassembly or assembly. The elderly and children can operate it easily, which improves the convenience of use. The pads at both ends of the connecting rod 206 can effectively limit the sliding range of the positioning block 205, prevent the parts from separating during the adjustment, reduce the risk of use, and improve safety. When not in use, the tabletop can be retracted to the shortest state to reduce the floor space, which is especially suitable for small apartments with limited space, combining practicality and space utilization.
[0033] In the embodiment of the present utility model, each extension plate 4 includes two limiting plates 401. The inner sides of the two limiting plates 401 are connected by hinges, and the two limiting plates 401 are foldable. When the extension plate 4 is extended, the top of the extension plate 4 is on the same horizontal plane as the top of the panel 202. A hanging rod 207 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the positioning plate 3. The hanging rod 207 is in a "U" shape. After the two limiting plates 401 are folded, they can be placed on the upper end of the hanging rod 207. A number of card slots 208 are provided on the inner side of the panel 202, on one side of the two extension plates 4 and on one side of the positioning plate 3. A number of clamping rods 402 are fixedly installed on one side of the two extension plates 4, on the positioning plate 3 and on one side of the extension plate 4. The card slots 208 and the clamping rods 402 among the three are arranged in a staggered manner. The clamping rod 402 can be embedded into the card slot 208, and the outer side of the clamping rod 402 is conical. The clamping rod 402 and the card slot 208 are detachably connected. A sliding groove 209 is provided on the inner side of the support plate 203. The sliding groove 209 is communicated with the inside of the support plate 203. A sliding rod 210 is embedded in the sliding groove 209. One side of the sliding rod 210 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the connecting plate 204.
[0034] The stability of the support group 2 is further enhanced: The sliding groove 209 on the inner side of the support plate 203 cooperates with the sliding rod 210 on the inner side of the connecting plate 204. The sliding rod 210 can slide along the sliding groove 209, which not only provides guidance for the relative position adjustment of the two support groups 2, but also prevents the support group 2 from shifting when deformed, ensuring the parallelism of the overall frame. The positioning plate 3 is fixed to the connecting plate 204 through a snap ring 301, and the sliding connection between the sliding rod 210 and the sliding groove 209 allows the support group 2 to move smoothly in the horizontal direction under the constraint of the positioning plate 3, providing an adaptive adjustment for the basic support for the telescopic deformation of the tabletop. Folding and extension of the extension plate 4: Each extension plate 4 is composed of two limiting plates 401 connected by hinges. When extended, the two limiting plates 401 are unfolded into a flat state, and the top is flush with the top of the panel 202, forming a continuous tabletop; when folded, the limiting plates 401 are folded along the hinges, reducing the space occupied by itself. The inner side of the panel 202, the extension plate 4 and the positioning plate 3 are fixed by the cooperation of the card slots 208 and the clamping rods 402 on one side. When the tabletop is adjusted to the target length, the corresponding clamping rod 402 can be embedded into the card slot 208. Since the outer side of the clamping rod 402 is conical, it can be quickly aligned with the card slot 208 through the inclined plane guidance during embedding, and the conical structure can enhance the friction force after embedding to prevent loosening; when disassembling, only a reverse force needs to be applied to separate, realizing the convenient switching between fixing and unlocking. When the limiting plates 401 are folded, the "U" shaped hanging rod 207 at the bottom of the positioning plate 3 can be used as a storage fulcrum. After the folded limiting plates 401 are cooperated with the positioning block 205 and the connecting rod 206, they can be turned over and placed on the upper end of the hanging rod 207, avoiding the space occupation or damage caused by the random placement of the folded components, and realizing the orderly storage of the components after deformation.
[0035] The folding design of the extension plate 4 not only allows for the extension and retraction of the countertop length, but also further reduces its volume when not in use through the folding of the limiting plate 401. This is suitable for small apartments or scenarios requiring flexible space utilization. When extended, the limiting plate 401 is flush with the top of the panel 202, ensuring countertop flatness and preventing tableware from tilting or slipping. The staggered design of the slot 208 and the lever 402 ensures a matching fixing point can be found at different extension lengths. Combined with the tapered structure of the lever 402, the connection is tight after embedding, effectively preventing the countertop from sliding under pressure during use, improving load-bearing stability and safety. The hinge connection makes folding and extending the limiting plate 401 simple and tool-free; the tapered lever 402 and slot 208 work together to fix and unlock, making the adjustment process efficient. The "U"-shaped hanging rod 207 provides a dedicated storage location for the folded limiting plate 401, preventing parts from being lost or cluttered, and improving the user experience. The guiding function of the slide groove 209 and slide rod 210 ensures that the support assembly 2 moves in a straight line during deformation, reducing structural stress and extending service life; the multiple connections between the positioning plate 3 and the support assembly 2 further strengthen the overall frame's resistance to deformation. This meets users' needs for multifunctional, space-saving, and easy-to-operate furniture.
