Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding table technology, and more specifically, to a folding table. Background Technology
[0002] Folding tables, as a space-saving and easy-to-store and carry type of furniture, are widely used in homes, outdoor camping, temporary offices, and other scenarios. In existing technology, the legs of folding tables can switch between an open (support) and a closed (folded) state.
[0003] However, existing folding tables have drawbacks: the legs are held in the open position solely by gravity or friction, lacking a dedicated locking mechanism. During use, the legs are prone to rotating inwards due to external forces, causing the tabletop to tilt or even tip over, compromising safety.
[0004] To address stability issues, some folding tables employ locking devices, such as spring clips. However, such structures require precise matching of the dimensions and positions of multiple parts, which not only increases the complexity of mold design and parts processing but also raises assembly difficulty and production costs, hindering large-scale production. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention solves the problems of existing folding tables lacking locking devices for leg support, resulting in easy inward retraction and poor stability, as well as the difficulty in manufacturing some folding tables with locking devices due to their complex structure.
[0006] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a folding table, including: a tabletop; table legs, the table legs and the tabletop being rotatably connected so that the table legs can rotate between an open position and a closed position; and a limiting rod, the limiting rod being disposed on the bottom surface of the tabletop; wherein, when the table legs are in the open position, the limiting rod abuts against the table legs to restrict the table legs from rotating from the open position to the closed position.
[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: By setting a limiting rod on the bottom surface of the table, when the table legs are in the open position, the limiting rod abuts against the table legs and supports the table legs, fixing the table legs in the open position and preventing them from rotating to the closed position. This design effectively restricts the inward retraction of the table legs to improve the stability of the folding table when supported, and reduces production difficulty and cost, while also ensuring the convenience of folding operation and the reliability of the structure.
[0008] Furthermore, the table legs are provided with limiting grooves, which are adapted to one end of a limiting rod; wherein, when the table legs are in the open position, one end of the limiting rod engages with the limiting groove so that the limiting rod abuts against the table legs.
[0009] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effect achieved by this technical solution is that the limiting groove on the table leg is adapted to one end of the limiting rod, so that when the table leg is opened, the limiting rod is embedded in the limiting groove to form abutment, ensuring that the limiting rod will not detach when it abuts the table leg, thus improving the reliability of the design.
[0010] Furthermore, when the table legs are in the closed position, the limit rod abuts against the table legs to prevent the table legs from rotating from the closed position to the open position.
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: when the table legs are in the closed position, the limiting rod restricts the table legs from rotating to the open position, so that the table legs can remain stably closed in the closed state, preventing the table legs from opening on their own due to shaking, collisions or other accidents. This improves the convenience and safety of storage, and eliminates the need for additional locking components. While simplifying the structure, it further expands the function of the limiting rod, taking into account both support stability and storage reliability.
[0012] Furthermore, the table legs include a connecting part and a table leg part that are connected to each other; wherein, when the table legs are in the closed position, the side of the limiting rod near the tabletop abuts against the connecting part.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: by abutting the connecting part and the limiting rod, the table legs are prevented from accidentally opening due to external force when stored. At the same time, the stability of the folding table in the stored state is improved without adding extra parts and while maintaining a simplified structure.
[0014] Furthermore, the limit rod is made of flexible material.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: when the table legs are in the closed position, they are located between the limiting rod and the tabletop, and are locked by the limiting rod; when the folding table needs to be opened, the table legs are rotated forcefully, and the limiting rod will deform under the elastic action, allowing the table legs to be released from the locked state of the limiting rod and rotated to the open position, thereby completing the opening operation of the folding table.
[0016] Furthermore, a fixing part is provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the table, and the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the fixing part.
[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the limiting rod is fixed by the fixing part in the middle of the bottom surface of the table. This structure is simple and easy to process, and will not increase the difficulty of production. It ensures the stability of the structure while taking into account the convenience of production.
[0018] Furthermore, the limiting rod is connected to the fixing part by bolts.
[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this technical solution are as follows: the limit rod and the fixing part are connected by bolts, which realizes the stable assembly of the two, and the bolt connection method facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the limit rod, reducing maintenance costs.
[0020] Furthermore, the table legs are connected to the tabletop via hinges, allowing the table legs to rotate from the open position to the closed position and / or from the closed position to the open position.
[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the hinge structure provides a stable connection and smooth rotation, which improves the reliability and service life of the table legs. Furthermore, the hinge connection is easy to process and assemble, making it convenient to install.
[0022] Furthermore, the tabletop includes a tabletop and a side panel, the side panel being positioned around the tabletop and bending and protruding relative to the edge of the tabletop.
[0023] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: By setting up a surrounding panel that bends and protrudes relative to the edge of the tabletop, the tabletop can block items placed on the tabletop, effectively preventing items from slipping off the edge of the tabletop and improving safety during use.
[0024] Furthermore, the tabletop has handle grooves on both sides.
[0025] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the tabletop is equipped with handle grooves on both sides, providing convenient force points for moving the folding table, making it easy for users to grab and move the folding table, thus improving the ease of use.
[0026] By adopting the technical solution of this utility model, the following technical effects can be achieved:
[0027] This folding table effectively limits the inward retraction of the table legs by using a limiting rod on the bottom of the tabletop to engage with the table legs, thereby improving the stability of the folding table when supported. This also reduces production difficulty and cost, while ensuring the convenience of folding operation and the reliability of the structure. Attached Figure Description

[0034] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a folding table, including a tabletop 100, table legs 200 and a limiting rod 300. The table legs 200 and the tabletop 100 are rotatably connected so that the table legs 200 can rotate between an open position and a closed position.
[0036] Specifically, the folding table provided in this embodiment can switch between an open state and a closed state, such as... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of a folding table in its open state, with the table leg 200 positioned in the open position; as shown... Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of a folding table in its closed state, where the table legs 200 are in the closed position.
[0037] Furthermore, the limiting rod 300 is fixed to the bottom surface of the tabletop 100. When the table leg 200 rotates from the closed position to the open position, one end of the limiting rod 300 abuts against the table leg 200, and the one end of the limiting rod 300 supports the table leg 200, so that the table leg 200 is fixed in the open position and cannot rotate to the closed position.
[0038] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the folding table has two table legs 200, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the folding table. The limiting rod 300 is located between the two table legs 200, and both ends of the limiting rod 300 can abut against the two table legs 200 respectively.
[0039] For example, in other embodiments, the number of table legs 200 can be set to multiple, such as four table legs 200, with two table legs 200 arranged as a group on opposite sides of the folding table. In this case, the table legs 200 on the same side can be rotatably connected to the tabletop 100, and the table legs 200 on the same side can rotate independently. When a table leg 200 rotates to the open position, half of one end of the limiting rod opposite to it abuts against the table leg 200 to restrict its rotation.
[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the table leg 200 is provided with a limiting groove 230, which is adapted to one end of the limiting rod 300; wherein, when the table leg 200 is in the open position, one end of the limiting rod 300 cooperates with the limiting groove 230 so that the limiting rod 300 abuts against the table leg 200.
[0041] Furthermore, the table leg 200 includes a connecting part 220 and a table leg part 210 that are connected to each other; when the table leg 200 is in the closed position, the side of the limiting rod 300 near the table board abuts against the table leg 200 to restrict the table leg 200 from rotating from the closed position to the open position.
[0042] Specifically, when the table leg 200 is in the closed position, the table leg 200 is positioned between the limiting rod 300 and the tabletop 100. The limiting rod 300 locks the table leg 200, so that the table leg 200 is fixed in the closed position when the folding table is closed, preventing the table leg 200 from opening on its own due to shaking, collision or other accidents.
[0043] For example, in this embodiment, in order for the limiting rod 300 to lock the table leg 200 when it is in the closed position, the distance between the limiting rod 300 and the tabletop 100 should be less than the distance between the limiting groove 230 and the tabletop when the table leg 200 is in the open position. This is to ensure that...
[0044] Furthermore, in order to allow the table leg 200 to rotate from the closed position to the open position under the restriction of the limiting rod 300, the limiting rod 300 is made of a flexible material.
[0045] Specifically, when the table leg 200 is in the closed position, the limiting rod 300 restricts the rotation of the table leg 200; when it is necessary to open the folding table, the table leg 200 is rotated forcefully, and the limiting rod 300 will deform under the action of elasticity, so that the table leg 200 can be released from the restriction of the limiting rod 300 and rotate to the open position, thereby completing the opening operation of the folding table.
[0046] For example, in other embodiments, the distance between the limiting rod 300 and the tabletop 100 can also be set to be equal to the distance between the limiting groove 230 and the tabletop when the table leg 200 is in the open position. In this case, the limiting rod 300 will not abut against the table leg 200 in the closed position, and thus will not restrict the rotation of the table leg 200. Only when the table leg 200 rotates to the open position, since the distance between the limiting rod 300 and the limiting groove 230 and the tabletop 100 is equal, one end of the limiting rod 300 will be embedded in the limiting groove 230 to form abutment, thus preventing the limiting groove from disengaging when abutting against the table leg.
[0047] Furthermore, a fixing part 140 is provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the tabletop 100, and the limiting rod 300 is fixedly connected to the fixing part 140.
[0048] Furthermore, the limiting rod 300 is connected to the fixing part 140 by bolts.
[0049] Furthermore, the table legs 200 are connected to the tabletop 100 by hinges, so that the table legs can rotate from the open position to the closed position and / or from the closed position to the open position.
[0050] Furthermore, the tabletop 100 includes a tabletop 110 and a side panel 120, the side panel 120 being disposed around the tabletop 110 and bending and protruding relative to the edge of the tabletop 110, the tabletop 110 and the side panel 120 surrounding a receiving space for storing things.
[0051] Furthermore, the tabletop 100 has handle grooves 130 on both sides.
[0052] Specifically, the handle groove 130 is located on both sides of the tabletop 100 where there are two table legs 200.
[0053] It should be noted that during the use, handling and storage of the folding table, the corners 150 of the tabletop 100 are prone to breakage due to frequent stress or collisions. To solve the above problem, triangular nails are installed at all four corners 150 of the tabletop 100 in this embodiment.
[0054] Specifically, the triangular nail has a right-angled triangular structure, with its two right-angled sides respectively fitting into the two adjacent sides of the corner 150 of the tabletop 100. The triangular nail is fixed to the middle area of the corner 150 by embedding. By setting the triangular nail, the external force on the corner 150 can be distributed to the connection area between the triangular nail and the corner 150, effectively enhancing the structural strength of the corner 150 and preventing breakage. Furthermore, the material of the triangular nail can be the same as that of the tabletop 100 to ensure compatibility between the two, while simplifying material selection and processing.
[0055] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
