Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding furniture technology, specifically to a folding table, and more particularly to a portable double-folding table. Background Technology

[0002] Folding tables, as a type of furniture that can effectively save space, are widely used in homes, offices, outdoor camping, and dining and entertainment settings.

[0003] Existing folding tables are heavy, making them inconvenient to carry and move; they require pressing the folding mechanism to fold, which is not convenient to operate; and when the tabletop is folded, the table legs generate a harsh friction noise when they rotate at the connecting parts.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new design for portable folding tables that can reduce noise while being easy to carry, move, and fold. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a folding table that is lightweight, easy to carry and move, simple to fold, and reduces noise.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application employs the following technical solution:

[0007] This application provides a folding table, including an aluminum honeycomb tabletop and table legs;

[0008] The aluminum honeycomb desktop panel includes a first aluminum honeycomb desktop panel and a second aluminum honeycomb desktop panel. The two aluminum honeycomb desktop panels are hinged together by a folding connector. A folding lock is provided between the two aluminum honeycomb desktop panels to enable the aluminum honeycomb desktop panel to be unfolded and locked or folded and retracted. The folding lock is a self-locking folding lock.

[0009] The table legs are provided in two sets. Each set of table legs is connected to the aluminum honeycomb tabletop through a rotating connector. The rotating connector is used to allow the table legs to rotate around it and abut against the inner folded surface of the folded aluminum honeycomb tabletop. The table legs in each set are rotatably connected to each other.

[0010] A sound-insulating gasket is provided between the contact surface of the rotating connector and the table leg.

[0011] The above technical solution applies aluminum honeycomb, which is used in aerospace, transportation, and architectural decoration, to folding tables in the field of folding furniture. This achieves a lightweight design for folding tables, overcoming industry barriers and technical biases. The honeycomb structure of the aluminum honeycomb tabletop significantly reduces weight, while the hexagonal honeycomb structure disperses pressure, maintaining high strength and impact resistance. It can withstand external forces such as being run over by tires, and has sound insulation, heat insulation, and corrosion resistance properties. The material releases no formaldehyde, no harmful substances are added during the production process, and there is no odor after installation, meeting green home standards. It is also a non-combustible material that does not burn or release toxic gases when exposed to fire, ensuring high safety. The aluminum recycling rate exceeds 95%, conforming to the concept of circular economy, and it is convenient to carry and use.

[0012] This utility model adopts a self-locking folding lock, which does not require pressing. After unfolding, the folding lock automatically locks the aluminum honeycomb desktop panel. When folding, you only need to press the aluminum honeycomb desktop panel folding lock inward to fold synchronously with the aluminum honeycomb desktop panel. The operation is simple.

[0013] The table legs are connected to the aluminum honeycomb tabletop via rotating connectors. The two table legs located at corresponding positions on the two aluminum honeycomb tabletops are rotatably connected. When the aluminum honeycomb tabletop is folded inward, the table legs rotate around the rotating connectors under the force of the corresponding table legs and rest against the aluminum honeycomb tabletop. The folding function can be achieved with only one folding action, without having to fold each table leg separately, thus simplifying the operation process.

[0014] A sound-insulating washer is installed between the contact surface of the rotating connector and the table leg, which can effectively reduce the friction noise between the table leg and the connector when the table leg rotates.

[0015] Furthermore, the self-locking folding lock includes a spring-loaded folding lock and a ball-loaded folding lock.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the spring-type folding lock opens with the outward force of the aluminum honeycomb tabletop when the folding table is unfolded. After unfolding, the latch of the spring-type folding lock locks and locks to prevent the folding table from being folded by force. When the folding table is folded, it unlocks with the inward force of the aluminum honeycomb tabletop, and can be folded without pressing the latch.

[0017] The ball-type folding lock engages with the ball groove to lock the table when it is unfolded, and is automatically unlocked when the table is folded inward. The table can be folded or unfolded simply by closing or opening the aluminum honeycomb tabletop.

[0018] Furthermore, the table legs are L-shaped.

[0019] In the above technical solution, compared with straight table legs, the short bent edge of the L-shaped table leg is easier to install and rotate through the rotating connector. The rotating connector is not easily damaged during rotation. The short bent edge has a larger contact area with the rotating connector, and the rotation path is more stable. It is less likely to have the problem of the rotation direction deviating after a long period of use, which is common with straight table legs.

[0020] Furthermore, the table legs are aluminum tubular table legs.

[0021] In the above technical solution, the aluminum tube table legs are relatively lightweight, which further reduces the weight of the folding table and makes it easy to carry.

[0022] Furthermore, the table legs are provided with foot pads at the ground-touching ends;

[0023] A table leg pad is provided at the end of the table leg closest to the tabletop.

[0024] In the above technical solution, the design of the foot pads can reduce the friction noise between the table legs and the ground when they touch the ground;

[0025] The design of the table leg pads can reduce friction noise between the table legs and the aluminum honeycomb tabletop, and also prevent the table legs from leaving scratches on the surface of the aluminum honeycomb tabletop, thus avoiding damage.

[0026] Furthermore, the foot pad includes a ball-head plug;

[0027] The table leg pad includes a flat-head plug.

[0028] Furthermore, there are two folding connectors, and the two folding connectors are located on the same side of the self-locking folding lock.

[0029] Alternatively, two folding connectors are located on either side of the self-locking folding lock.

[0030] In the above technical solution, the two folding connectors make the connection between the aluminum honeycomb desktop panels more stable.

[0031] Furthermore, the folding connector includes a hinge and a folding chain.

[0032] Furthermore, each set of table legs is rotatably connected by cap bolts;

[0033] A washer is provided between the cap bolt and the contact surface of each table leg.

[0034] In the above technical solution, the cap bolt is easy to disassemble and install;

[0035] Placing washers between the cap bolts and the contact surfaces of the table legs can effectively reduce frictional noise between the table legs and the cap bolts when they rotate.

[0036] Furthermore, the rotating connector includes a U-shaped component and an n-shaped component.

[0037] Furthermore, the aluminum honeycomb desktop panel is an aluminum honeycomb desktop panel with a glass fiber cover.

[0038] In the above technical solution, an aluminum honeycomb tabletop with a glass fiber cover is used. Glass fiber has sound insulation and heat insulation effects, is easy to clean, reduces the impact noise generated when placing items on the folding table, and is easier to clean, making it more practical.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this application are as follows:

[0040] The application of aluminum honeycomb, commonly used in aerospace, transportation, and architectural decoration, to folding furniture, particularly folding tables, achieves lightweight design and overcomes industry barriers and technological biases. The honeycomb structure of the aluminum honeycomb tabletop significantly reduces weight, while the hexagonal honeycomb structure disperses pressure, maintaining high strength and impact resistance, capable of withstanding external forces such as tire crushing. It also possesses sound insulation, heat insulation, and corrosion resistance. The material releases no formaldehyde, no harmful substances are added during the production process, and there is no odor after installation, meeting green home standards. Furthermore, it is a non-combustible material that does not burn or release toxic gases when exposed to fire, ensuring high safety. The aluminum recycling rate exceeds 95%, aligning with the concept of a circular economy, and it is easy to carry and use.

[0041] It adopts a self-locking folding latch, which does not require pressing. After unfolding, the folding latch automatically locks the aluminum honeycomb desktop panel. When folding, you only need to press the aluminum honeycomb desktop panel folding latch inward to fold synchronously with the aluminum honeycomb desktop panel. The operation is simple.

[0042] The table legs are connected to the aluminum honeycomb tabletop via rotating connectors. The two table legs located at corresponding positions on the two aluminum honeycomb tabletops are rotatably connected. When the aluminum honeycomb tabletop is folded inward, the table legs rotate around the rotating connectors under the force of the corresponding table legs and rest against the aluminum honeycomb tabletop. The folding function can be achieved with only one folding action, without having to fold each table leg separately, thus simplifying the operation process.

[0043] A sound-insulating washer is installed between the contact surface of the rotating connector and the table leg, which can effectively reduce the friction noise between the table leg and the connector when the table leg rotates;

[0044] The aluminum honeycomb tabletop with a fiberglass cover has sound and heat insulation properties, is easy to clean, reduces impact noise from placing items on the folding table, and is easier to clean, making it more practical. Attached Figure Description
