Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, and in particular to a portable folding table. Background Technology

[0002] There are many types of portable folding tables available, mainly meeting basic needs for load-bearing capacity, support, and portability. However, for specific scenarios, such as outdoor tea gatherings, tea tasting on family balconies, or temporary tea tables during business trips, existing folding tables have the following shortcomings:

[0003] Limited functionality: It's just a regular desktop, lacking any structure specifically designed for tea brewing (such as wastewater collection or teaware storage areas). This makes it inconvenient to carry a tea tray or handle wastewater when brewing tea. In particular, the lack of a water collection box, drain pipe, or dedicated teaware storage compartment leads to difficulties in wastewater management and a cluttered arrangement of teaware during the brewing process.

[0004] Complex structure or cumbersome assembly: Some folding tables, while foldable, require complex assembly steps or tools when unfolded, affecting ease of use; or their folded size is still not compact enough. Their folding support components are often poorly designed, resulting in inconvenient folding operations or a large space occupation after folding.

[0005] Stability mismatch with tea table requirements: The tea-making process involves frequent pouring of water and moving of teaware, placing high demands on the stability and load-bearing capacity of the tabletop. Some simple folding tables may not be stable enough. In particular, the lack of reasonable support rods and folding support designs makes it difficult to meet the special requirements for tabletop stability during tea brewing. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a portable folding table that can be easily folded and stored while improving its stability during use.

[0007] This utility model is achieved by the following method: a portable folding table, including a first support rod and a second support rod, the first support rod and the second support rod are arranged left and right, and folding support members are provided at both ends of the lower surface of the first support rod and the second support rod. Multiple mounting slots are opened on the inner side of the upper surface of the first support rod and the second support rod, and multiple placement boards are mounted at equal distances between the mounting slots at the left and right ends.

[0008] Furthermore, both ends of the placement plate have outward extending support blocks corresponding to the support slots.

[0009] Furthermore, the folding support includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod. The first connecting rod is provided at both the front and rear ends of the lower surface of the first support rod, and the second connecting rod is provided at both the front and rear ends of the lower surface of the second support rod. A folding opening is provided in the middle of the second connecting rod, and the first connecting rod passes through the folding opening and is hinged in the middle of the folding opening.

[0010] Furthermore, a first placement groove is provided on the left end of the upper surface of the foremost placement plate, and multiple second placement grooves for placing teacups are provided at equal intervals on the right end of the upper surface of the foremost placement plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a water collection box is connected to the lower surface of the second placement plate, and multiple strip-shaped drain outlets are equally spaced on the upper surface of the second placement plate, and the strip-shaped drain outlets are connected to the water collection box. A drain pipe is connected to the lower surface of the water collection box.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model achieves rapid folding through the cooperation structure of the support rod and the folding support component, and forms a stable bearing surface by using the combination of the mounting groove and the placement plate. It has the characteristics of compact structure, stable load-bearing after unfolding and small volume after folding, which effectively solves the problems of single function, complex structure and insufficient portability of traditional folding tables.

[0015] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second placement plate. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides an embodiment: a portable folding table, including a first support rod 1 and a second support rod 2, the first support rod 1 and the second support rod 2 are arranged left and right, folding support members 3 are provided at both ends of the lower surface of the first support rod 1 and the second support rod 2, and multiple mounting slots 4 are opened on the inner side of the upper surface of the first support rod 1 and the second support rod 2, and multiple placement boards 5 are mounted at equal distances between the mounting slots 4 at the left and right ends.

[0018] The first support rod 1 and the second support rod 2 are the longitudinal components that form the basic frame of the desktop. They can be made of aluminum alloy tubing and form a stable support surface through a symmetrical layout. The folding support 3 is a retractable structure connecting the bottom of the support rod to the ground. For example, it can be made of a hinged linkage assembly, which forms a triangular support when unfolded to enhance anti-overturning ability. The mounting groove 4 is a groove structure opened on the upper surface of the support rod. It can be designed with a U-shaped groove and is used to position the placement board and limit its horizontal displacement. The placement board 5 is a flat component that supports items. For example, it can be made of lightweight bamboo or wood boards and is arranged at equal intervals to form an expandable desktop area.

[0019] Specifically, the folding support unit allows for quick unfolding and folding via hinge points, forming multiple support points to distribute stress after unfolding. The mounting slots and placement plates use a plug-in connection method; during installation, simply insert both ends of the placement plate into the corresponding slots to secure it, without the need for tools. Multiple mounting slots on the inner side of the support rod form adjustable mounting positions, allowing users to add or remove placement plates as needed, such as adding a dedicated shelf for making tea, while retaining the basic plate for daily use.

[0020] Compared to existing technologies, traditional folding tables require a separate tea tray for wastewater treatment, while this solution integrates a drain and collection box on a specific placement board, enabling automatic wastewater collection. Existing products store the support rod separately from the tabletop after folding, but this solution maintains a connection between the support rod and the placement board, eliminating the need for reassembly when unfolded. Furthermore, traditional folding tables, with their single-point support, are prone to wobbling; this solution utilizes multi-point folding support components to create a three-dimensional support structure, significantly improving stability during water pouring.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, this application solves the problems of messy teaware storage and inconvenient wastewater treatment in tea brewing scenarios, while achieving rapid unfolding and stable support. The plug-in design of the placement board and the mounting slot makes desktop expansion more flexible, and users can freely combine functional modules according to usage scenarios. The multi-link structure of the folding support effectively improves load-bearing capacity while ensuring portability, avoiding the risk of tilting caused by uneven force on the desktop.

[0022] Please continue reading. Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the placement plate 5 has support blocks 51 extending outward from both the left and right ends, which correspond to the support groove 4.

[0023] The support block 51 refers to the protruding structure extending outward from both ends of the placement plate. It can be made of rigid plastic or metal integrally molded with the placement plate, and its shape matches the inner contour of the support groove. This structure achieves positioning and fixation by embedding into the support groove, preventing lateral displacement of the placement plate when carrying items.

[0024] The support groove 4 refers to the recessed structure on the inner side of the upper surface of the support rod, which can be achieved by machining or injection molding. Its depth and width are slightly larger than the size of the support block. This structure provides a stable embedding space for the support block, forming multi-point contact support to distribute the load pressure.

[0025] Specifically, the mounting blocks and mounting slots are physically fitted together. When the placement plate is placed horizontally between the two support rods, the operator simply aligns the mounting blocks at both ends with the corresponding mounting slots and pushes them in to complete the installation. This process requires no additional connectors such as bolts or clips; a rigid connection is directly formed through geometric matching. In the folded state, the mounting blocks can be vertically pulled out of the mounting slots, completely separating the placement plate from the support rods, thus reducing the overall thickness during storage.

[0026] Compared to existing technologies, traditional folding tables typically use screws or snap-fit ​​connections for the placement panel. Installation requires manually tightening screws or repeatedly adjusting the snap-fit ​​positions, making the process cumbersome and prone to losing components. This solution, however, utilizes an embedded mounting block and mounting slot, allowing the placement panel to be easily positioned by simply pushing it in when unfolded, and to separate vertically when folded. This significantly simplifies the operation and reduces the risk of parts damage.

[0027] Through the above technical solution, this application solves the problem of complex assembly steps in existing folding tables, and realizes the rapid installation and disassembly of the placement board. In the tea-making scenario, users can quickly complete the tabletop setup and stably place teaware. At the same time, the separate design of the support block and support slot after folding effectively compresses the storage volume, making it easy to carry with the teaware bag.

[0028] Please continue reading. Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the folding support member 3 includes a first connecting rod 31 and a second connecting rod 32. The first connecting rod 31 is provided at both the front and rear ends of the lower surface of the first support rod 1, and the second connecting rod 32 is provided at both the front and rear ends of the lower surface of the second support rod 2. A folding opening 33 is provided in the middle of the second connecting rod 32, and the first connecting rod 31 passes through the folding opening 33 and is hinged in the middle of the folding opening 33.

[0029] The first connecting rod 31 refers to the front and rear extension members fixed to the bottom of the first support rod. It can be implemented using a rectangular metal rod, with both ends rigidly connected to the support rod via bolts. The second connecting rod 32 refers to the front and rear extension members fixed to the bottom of the second support rod. It can be implemented using an aluminum alloy profile with an open structure, and a folding opening in the middle accommodates the first connecting rod. The hinged connection refers to the relative rotation of the two rods via a rotating shaft mechanism. This can be achieved by a stainless steel pin passing through the folding opening and the shaft hole in the middle of the first connecting rod, allowing the two support rods to rotate around an axis when folded.

[0030] Specifically, when the folding table needs to be unfolded, the first and second support rods separate outwards. At this time, the first connecting rod slides axially within the folding opening to the fully unfolded position, and the hinge mechanism limits the maximum unfolded distance between the two support rods. During the folding process, when the two support rods retract inwards, the first connecting rod slides and retracts along the folding opening, and the hinge mechanism guides the two rods to form a parallel overlapping state. This structure, through a combined sliding and rotational motion trajectory, ensures both support stability in the unfolded state and achieves continuity in the folding action.

[0031] Compared to existing technologies, traditional folding tables often use separate plug-in structures or single-hinge designs for their support components. When unfolding, manual alignment of the plug-in parts is required, and there is a risk of parts becoming loose after folding. This solution uses a sliding hinge integrated mechanism to eliminate the possibility of component separation while maintaining support rigidity. Operation only requires pushing or pulling the support rod to complete the transformation, reducing assembly steps and the probability of parts loss.

[0032] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves rapid unfolding and folding of the support structure, solving the problems of cumbersome operation and insufficient stability of traditional folding table support components. In outdoor tea-making scenarios, users can unfold the tabletop with one hand. After folding, the support component and the tabletop form a compact whole, making it easy to put into the trunk of a vehicle or a travel backpack, while ensuring that the support rods will not accidentally shift during use.

[0033] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a first placement groove 52 is provided on the left end of the upper surface of the foremost placement plate 5, and a plurality of second placement grooves 53 for placing teacups are provided at equal intervals on the right end of the upper surface of the foremost placement plate 5.

[0034] The first placement groove 52 refers to a recessed structure located on the far left side of the tabletop, which can be implemented using a rectangular or circular groove. The depth of the groove can be set slightly higher than the thickness of the bottom of the teaware to prevent slippage. The second placement groove 53 refers to a cup-shaped placement structure arranged linearly along the far right side of the tabletop, which can be implemented using a semi-circular or U-shaped groove. The groove spacing can be set to accommodate the diameter of a standard teacup.

[0035] Specifically, when the folding table is unfolded and used as a tea table, the teapot can be stably placed in the first placement slot, avoiding the risk of tipping over. The second placement slot on the right can accommodate multiple teacups at the same time. For example, when arranged in a stepped manner, the teacup handles can be placed outwards for easy access. The placement slots and the placement board are manufactured using an integrated grooving process, which maintains the flatness of the tabletop while providing positioning for the teaware. When folded, each slot folds down synchronously with the placement board without affecting the overall storage volume.

[0036] Compared to existing technologies, traditional folding tables lack a dedicated positioning structure for teaware, requiring the use of an additional anti-slip mat or teaware holder when brewing tea. This solution integrates a recessed placement groove into the tabletop, physically restraining the teapot and teacups and preventing them from sliding during operation. Compared to external teaware storage accessories, this structure fits perfectly against the tabletop when folded, without increasing transport volume.

[0037] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves integrated storage of teaware and tabletop, solving the problem of messy placement and easy tipping of utensils when brewing tea outdoors. The first placement slot can be adapted to teapot bases of different sizes, and the equidistant arrangement of the second placement slot makes the movement of teacups more reasonable. At the same time, the strip-shaped groove structure facilitates quick cleaning of residual tea.

[0038] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a water collection box 54 is connected to the lower surface of the second placement plate 5, and a plurality of strip-shaped drain outlets 55 are equally spaced on the upper surface of the second placement plate 5, and the strip-shaped drain outlets 55 are connected to the water collection box 54. A drain pipe 56 is connected to the lower surface of the water collection box 54.

[0039] Among them, the water collection box 54 refers to the container structure used to collect liquids. Specifically, it can be implemented by a box with a groove at the bottom. The box is detachably connected to the placement plate by a buckle or a slide rail, and is used to centrally store wastewater flowing in from the strip drain.

[0040] The strip-shaped drain outlet 55 refers to a long, narrow opening that penetrates the surface of the placement plate. This can be achieved using a slit structure with a width of 3-5 mm. The openings are evenly distributed along the length of the placement plate to guide liquid into the collection box. The drain pipe 56 refers to a tubular structure connected to the bottom of the collection box. This can be achieved using a flexible hose with a manual valve. The valve controls liquid discharge, and the end of the hose can be coiled and stored in a fixed groove on the side wall of the collection box.

[0041] Specifically, when liquid enters the collection box through the strip-shaped drain, it is temporarily stored inside the box under gravity, preventing liquid residue from remaining on the surface of the placement plate. A sealing ring ensures a leak-proof connection between the collection box and the placement plate, and the edges of the strip-shaped drain are chamfered to reduce liquid retention. The drain pipe extends to the outside of the folding table; opening the valve directs the liquid to a designated container when needed. The collection box is removable for easy cleaning, and the folding table retains its normal folding position even after removal.

[0042] Compared to existing technologies, traditional folding tables lack liquid collection capabilities, requiring the use of waterproof mats or frequent wiping of the tabletop when pouring tea or water. This solution, however, integrates a water collection box with a drainage structure, allowing liquid to flow directly into a sealed container through a strip-shaped drain, eliminating the need for interrupted use for cleaning. Existing temporary water containers are typically placed separately, are prone to tipping over, and occupy tabletop space. This solution integrates the collection function with the folding table structure, reducing the number of accessories and avoiding the risk of liquid spillage.

[0043] Through the above technical solution, this application solves the problem of inconvenient wastewater collection during tea brewing. The liquid can be quickly discharged and temporarily stored through the strip-shaped drain, reducing the need for frequent wiping or moving of the container. The combined design of the water collection box and drain pipe allows the wastewater treatment process to continue without leaving the tabletop area, while the detachable structure facilitates cleaning and maintenance, preventing the growth of odors. This solution maintains the portability of the folding table while increasing its functional adaptability to tea-drinking scenarios.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall be covered by the present utility model.
