Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, specifically a table with space expansion function. Background Technology
[0002] A table is a common piece of furniture used to place items, and it is an indispensable piece of furniture in daily life, widely used in homes, offices, restaurants, and other places. In environments with limited space, such as small apartments, compact offices, or multi-functional rooms, a table of fixed size often cannot adapt to different usage scenarios. Traditional tables lack flexibility and have limited functions, failing to meet users' needs for multi-functional use, thus restricting their widespread use. Secondly, with changes in lifestyles and spatial design trends, users have placed higher demands on table furniture. Existing fixed tables cannot provide dynamic adjustment functions; for example, they cannot rotate flexibly, limiting users to picking up and placing items only at specific angles and distances, making the table particularly inconvenient to use.

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A table with a space expansion function includes a main support leg 1, a support column 3 installed on the top of the main support leg 1, a tabletop 4 connected to the top of the support column 3, an expansion tabletop 5 connected between the tabletop 4 and the support column 3 by a rotating device 6, and the expansion tabletop 5 supported on the ground by side support legs 2.
[0020] The rotating device 6 includes a bearing 61 and a bushing 62 fitted onto the outer cylindrical surface of the support column 3. The bushing 62 is fitted around the bearing 61. The rotating device 6 also includes a mounting base 63 connected to one side of the extended platform 5. A mounting hole 631 is provided through the mounting base 63. The bushing 62 is connected to the mounting hole 631. By pushing the extended platform 5, the bushing 62 is driven to rotate along the bearing 61 through the mounting base 63, thereby realizing the rotation of the extended platform 5 relative to the platform 4.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown: In this table design, the main support leg serves as the core support component, connected and fixed to the tabletop via a support column mounted on top of the main support leg. Compared to traditional fixed-size tables, this design features an extended tabletop connected to the support column via a rotating mechanism. This extended tabletop is independently supported on the ground by side support legs, ensuring its stability. The rotating mechanism includes a bearing and bushing fitted onto the outer surface of the support column, and a mounting base connected to one side of the extended tabletop. The mounting base houses the bushing, and the bushing houses the bearing. The bearing is fixed to the support column, and the mounting base fits onto the bushing through its own mounting holes, forming a unified structure. When the user needs to expand the table's usable space, such as moving from one side to the other, they simply push the extended tabletop. The driving force of the extended tabletop is transmitted through the mounting base to the bushing, causing the bushing to rotate smoothly on the bearing, thus allowing the extended tabletop to rotate relative to the tabletop. By rotating the extended platform, the table can flexibly change its position in the workspace according to actual needs. Users can easily pick up and put down items without getting up, improving the table's convenience. The rotating design of the bearings and bushings makes the rotation of the extended platform very smooth. Users don't need to exert much effort, making operation simple and smooth. The table is no longer a traditional clamp with a single fixed size and shape, but has the flexibility to adapt to various usage scenarios.
[0022] The top of the side support leg 2 is provided with a connecting seat 23, which is fixedly installed on the bottom of the extension platform 5.
[0023] like Figure 4 As shown: To connect and install the side support legs, a connecting bracket is provided at the top of the side support leg. This connecting bracket is used to fix the tabletop to the bottom of the extended tabletop. The weight of the extended tabletop is effectively transferred to the side support leg through the connecting bracket, and then supported on the ground by the side support leg. As a mounting component, the connecting bracket ensures a stable and reliable connection between the extended tabletop and the side support leg. Even when the tabletop is extended and rotated, it maintains good stability and prevents wobbling. The connection structure is more compact and aesthetically pleasing, making it easy for users to install and remove the extended tabletop.
[0024] The bottom of the side support foot 2 is recessed to form a rotating cavity 21, and a roller 22 is rotatably installed in the rotating cavity 21.
[0025] like Figure 2 As shown: A rotating cavity is formed in the bottom of the side support leg. Rollers are rotatably installed within this cavity. When the extension table needs to be rotated, the friction between the extension table and the ground is significantly reduced, avoiding wear caused by direct friction between the side support legs and the ground. Users can more easily and effortlessly rotate the extension table to adjust its position. The rotation process is smooth and reliable, avoiding problems such as jamming or noise. Furthermore, the rollers create a sliding contact with the ground, protecting the floor, which is especially important for easily worn materials such as wood flooring or tile.
[0026] The main support leg 1 is connected to an anti-slip seat 11 on the outer periphery of its bottom, and the main support leg 1 is supported on the ground by the anti-slip seat 11.
[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown: Anti-slip seats are connected to the bottom outer perimeter of the main support legs. These seats directly contact the ground and support the main support legs, significantly increasing the friction between the table body and the ground. This ensures the table won't easily slip during use or when the tabletop is rotated. Especially when the table is subjected to external forces or heavy objects are placed on it, it effectively prevents the table from moving, ensuring user safety. Furthermore, the anti-slip seats also distribute the pressure of the main support legs on the ground and isolate the main support legs from direct contact with the ground, helping to protect the floor from scratches or wear and extending the lifespan of the table and floor.
[0028] The mounting base 63 is provided with a hinge seat 7 on one side and a hinge ear 8 on one side of the extension platform 5. The hinge seat 7 and the hinge ear 8 are hinged together by a pin 9.
[0029] like Figure 5As shown: A hinge seat is provided on one side of the mounting base, and correspondingly, a hinge ear is provided on the side of the extension platform. The hinge seat and the hinge ear are hinged together using a pin. When the extension platform rotates, uneven ground or structural deviations may occur during rotation. Through the hinged connection, the extension platform can be adjusted slightly in angle or height within a certain range. This allows the extension platform to automatically adjust the relative angle between itself and the platform, using the hinge point as a fulcrum. This enables the extension platform to automatically adapt and reach a relatively level height with the platform, maintaining stability even on uneven ground. This improves the flatness and comfort of the extension platform, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the self-adaptive function of the hinged connection ensures the overall stability between the extension platform and the platform, maintaining stable long-term operation even in complex ground environments.
[0030] In summary, the existing table structure incorporates a rotating mechanism to house an extended tabletop. This extended tabletop rotates via the rotating mechanism. When the user needs to adjust the position of the extended tabletop, they simply push it gently. The mounting base of the rotating mechanism drives the bushing to rotate smoothly on the bearing, thus allowing the extended tabletop to rotate at any angle relative to the tabletop. This enables flexible adjustment of the table's position to meet diverse user needs.
[0031] When the extended platform rotates, the side support legs provide independent support, ensuring stable and reliable support. Simultaneously, a rotating cavity is located at the bottom of the side support legs, within which rollers are rotatably mounted. These rollers reduce friction during platform rotation, making rotation on the ground easier and smoother, while also protecting the floor from wear.
[0032] Furthermore, a hinged seat and hinged ears are provided between the mounting base and the extended tabletop, and a hinged connection is made using a pin. During the rotation of the extended tabletop, even if the ground is uneven or there are structural deviations, the hinged structure allows the extended tabletop to adaptively adjust its height and angle. The extended tabletop automatically adapts and maintains a relatively horizontal height with the main tabletop, ensuring the stability of the table, avoiding wobbling, and improving the user experience. Therefore, it can be widely promoted and used.
[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
