[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee table technology, and in particular to a four-compartment folding coffee table for hot pot. Background Technology
[0002] With the diversification of home furnishing designs, people have different requirements for different things. Diverse designs are present in every corner of life. As an important part of the home, the coffee table is a common low table, usually placed in front of or around the sofa in the living room, lounge, or family room. It is used to place drinks, books, decorations, or other small items. The coffee table not only has practical functions, but can also serve as part of the interior decoration, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the space. It is an important furniture element that is both practical and can increase the beauty of the home.
[0003] Currently, coffee tables on the market come in a variety of designs and materials, including wood, glass, metal, and stone. They also come in various shapes such as round, square, and rectangular, and have different design styles. However, most of them are fixed in structure and lack special functions such as folding and stretching. They cannot be flexibly adjusted and transformed into multiple styles, resulting in a relatively simple structure that cannot meet people's needs for use and aesthetic appeal.
[0004] Therefore, given that most existing coffee tables on the market have a fixed structure and lack special functions such as folding and stretching, and cannot be flexibly adjusted and modified into various styles, resulting in a relatively simple structure that fails to meet people's needs for use and aesthetics, a four-compartment folding coffee table for hot pot can be designed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the problem that most coffee tables on the market have a fixed structure and lack special functions such as folding and stretching, they cannot be flexibly adjusted and transformed into various styles, and their structure is relatively simple, failing to meet people's needs for use and aesthetics.

[0012] Preferably, each of the No. 1 and No. 2 side plates has a circular through hole 2 on its middle surface, and each circular through hole 2 has a hollowed-out circular window.
[0013] Preferably, each hollowed-out round window in the three sets of adjacent hinged blocks is fixedly connected to the inner side of the corresponding circular through hole two, and the adjacent hollowed-out round windows in the set of blocks that are movably connected are hinged to the inner side of the corresponding circular through hole two.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This coffee table features a flexible and adjustable structure, composed of four identical square blocks hinged together. Its minimalist design makes the structure simple and easy to assemble. The simple blocks are joined together using concealed cross-folding hinges and three-in-one connectors to ensure stability. Applicable to various scenarios, it can be folded and stretched to create either an externally closed square shape or an internally open shape, presenting two different appearances. While fulfilling practical needs, it also boasts an aesthetically pleasing design, resembling a four-compartment hot pot. This evokes the image of a family enjoying tea together, evoking a sense of anticipation for the meal and fulfilling everyday needs. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0018] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment: a four-compartment folding tea table for hot pot, comprising four assembled square blocks; it also includes a top plate 1, wherein three groups of adjacent blocks are hinged by invisible cross-folding hinges, and another group of adjacent blocks are movably connected. Each block is composed of a top plate 1, a first side plate 2, and a second side plate 3. An arc-shaped shelf 4 is provided on the lower side of each block. The top plate 1, the first side plate 2, and the second side plate 3 in each block are fixedly connected by diagonal splicing of Lamino hardware. The arc-shaped shelf 4 is fixedly connected to the adjacent first side plate 2 and second side plate 3 by a three-in-one connector. A circular through hole 5 is opened on one of the top plates 1 of the four blocks. Each block is composed of a top plate 1, a first side plate 2, and a second side plate 3, and the arc-shaped shelf 4 strengthens the structure. The structure is stable. The circular through hole 5 is used for the installation of the tea set. Since the four square blocks are connected by invisible cross-folding hinges, one of the adjacent square blocks is movable. Therefore, in the first folded splicing state, it is combined into an externally closed square shape. Then, it is stretched and opened along the two movable square blocks, and then folded and spliced again, which will combine into a shape that is open from the inside out. It has a variety of structural change forms to meet people's needs for use and the pursuit of aesthetics. There are corresponding openings 6 between the adjacent first side plate 2 and second side plate 3 in the three sets of hinged square blocks. Each set of openings 6 is set with two sets, upper and lower, for installing invisible cross-folding hinges. The openings 6 can facilitate the installation of invisible cross-folding hinges, thereby facilitating the hinge of two adjacent square blocks, which can be folded and merged.
[0019] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5In this embodiment, the backs of adjacent side plates 2 and 3 within a set of movable blocks are rotatably connected to turntables 8. Baffles 9 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two turntables 8, with their vertical positions staggered. When the four blocks are combined into an externally closed square shape, the two turntables 8 can be rotated at once, causing the corresponding baffles 9 to overlap laterally, thus blocking the rear of side plates 2 and 3 and preventing them from easily opening, maintaining stability in this combined state. Limiting blocks 10 and 21 are fixedly connected to the backs of adjacent side plates 2 and 3 within the set of movable blocks, respectively. Limiting blocks 10 and 21 are respectively located on the lower side of the corresponding baffles 9, restricting further downward rotation of the two baffles 9 and maintaining their horizontal position. Two corresponding positioning holes 1 are provided on the surfaces of adjacent side plates 2 and 3 within the set of movable blocks. 2. The two positioning holes 12 are provided with matching threads. When the four blocks are combined into a shape that opens outwards, the adjacent side plates 2 and 3 of the movable connected block are fitted together. At this time, the two positioning holes 12 are closed and exposed. The stability of the combination can be maintained by inserting a set of bolts and nuts. The middle surface of each side plate 2 and side plate 3 is provided with a circular through hole 13. Each circular through hole 13 is provided with a hollowed-out circular window 7. The circular through hole 13 and the hollowed-out circular window 7 can further improve the aesthetics of the coffee table. The hollowed-out circular windows 7 in the three sets of adjacent hinged blocks are fixedly connected to the inner side of the corresponding circular through hole 13. The adjacent hollowed-out circular windows 7 in the movable connected block are hinged to the inner side of the corresponding circular through hole 13. The hinged method of the adjacent hollowed-out circular windows 7 in the movable connected block is to make it easy to open and then reach in to operate the two turntables 8.
[0020] During operation, each block is composed of a top plate 1, a first side plate 2, and a second side plate 3. The four blocks are connected by an invisible cross-folding hinge. One pair of adjacent blocks is movable, allowing for two assembly configurations. In the first folded assembly configuration, the blocks form an externally closed square shape. By opening the two open circular windows 7 installed by the hinges and reaching in to operate the two turntables 8, the baffles 9 rotate, causing them to overlap horizontally, thus preventing the assembled square shape from being opened again. Then, by stretching and opening the two movable blocks and folding them again, the blocks will form a shape that opens outwards. At this time, the two positioning holes 12 are closed and exposed. By inserting a set of bolts and nuts, the stability of this assembly configuration can be maintained, thus changing the shape. The circular through hole 5 is used for the installation of tea sets, thereby satisfying people's needs for use and aesthetics.
[0021] Through the above steps, this coffee table features a flexible and adjustable structure, composed of four identical square blocks hinged together. Its simple design makes the structure clear and easy to install. The simple blocks are combined and connected using concealed cross-folding hinges and three-in-one connectors to ensure stability. Applicable to different scenarios, it can be folded and stretched to create either an externally closed square shape or an internally open shape, presenting two different appearances. While fulfilling practical needs, it also boasts an aesthetically pleasing design, resembling a four-compartment hot pot. This evokes the image of a family enjoying tea, evoking a sense of anticipation and fulfilling everyday needs. This addresses the problem that most coffee tables on the market have fixed structures, lack folding and stretching capabilities, and cannot be flexibly adjusted and modified into multiple styles, resulting in a monotonous structure that fails to meet users' practical needs and aesthetic preferences.
