Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a dining board, and in particular discloses a dining board for a nursing bed. Background Technology
[0002] For patients who are bedridden for extended periods, portable meal boards that can be fixed to the side rails of the bed are often used to facilitate their meals.
[0003] Existing portable dining boards for nursing beds typically consist of a main board and two fixing rods. These rods are attached to both sides of the main board via pull-out rods, and their bottoms have slots for connecting to the side rails of the nursing bed. The length of the portable dining board is adjusted by pulling the rods, allowing it to be fixed to bed rails of varying widths. However, currently, for ease of storage, the overall usable area of the main board is relatively small, usually a single shelf structure without storage functionality. When disabled patients accidentally spill food or liquids onto the sheets, the dining board, supported by the bed rails, has limited usable space, making it unsuitable for holding too many food items. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects in the existing technology and provide a nursing bed dining board that is easy to store, has a large usable area, and is widely adaptable.

[0024] according to Figures 1-9 This utility model is a dining board for a nursing bed, including a dining board body 1, two sets of pull rods 2 located on both sides of the dining board body 1, and two fixed rods 3 corresponding to the pull rods 2. The main body of the pull rod 2 is located inside the dining board body 1, and the outer end of the pull rod 2 extends from the side of the dining board body 1 and is connected to the fixed rod 3. The fixed rod 3 extends or retracts to the left and right sides of the dining board body 1 through the pull rods 2. One of the front and rear sides of the main body of the dining board 1 is provided with a folding extension plate 4. The folding extension plate 4 is connected to one side of the main body of the dining board 1 via a hinge 5 or a pivot. When the folding extension plate 4 is folded, it fits snugly against the main body of the dining board 1. When the folding extension plate 4 is unfolded, its top surface is in the same horizontal plane as the top surface of the main body of the dining board 1. The two sides or bottom surface of the folding extension plate 4 are provided with telescopic brackets 7 that can retract into the folding extension plate 4. The top and bottom surfaces of the fixing rod 3 are respectively provided with fixing grooves 6. The fixing grooves 6 are used to lock onto the bed rails on both sides of the nursing bed to fix and support the main body of the dining board 1.
[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. Example 1:
[0026] according to Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, based on the above, the folding extension plate 4 is connected to one side of the main body of the serving board 1 via a hinge 5, and the telescopic bracket 7 is located on the bottom surface of the folding extension plate 4. When the folding extension plate 4 is unfolded, the contact surface between the folding extension plate 4 and the main body of the serving board 1 forms a natural unfolding support, so that the rotation angle of the folding extension plate 4 relative to the main body of the serving board 1 is between 0 and 180 degrees. Preferably, the hinge 5 is a damped hinge. Specifically, the bottom surface of the folding extension plate 4 is provided with two symmetrically arranged bracket placement grooves 8, and the bracket placement grooves 8 are provided with connecting ears 9. The telescopic bracket 7 includes two structurally symmetrical unit brackets. Each unit bracket includes a first support arm 10, a second support arm 11, and a third support arm 12 that are hinged in sequence. The upper end of the first support arm 10 is hinged to the connecting ear 9, and each hinge is provided with a damping element (not shown in the figure). The damping element increases the resistance at the hinge between the connecting ear 9, the first support arm 10, the second support arm 11, and the third support arm 12. The first support arm 10, second support arm 11, and third support arm 12 of the unit bracket are folded and laid flat within the bracket placement groove 8; the length of the third support arm 12 is shorter than that of the first support arm 10 and the second support arm 11, respectively.

The rest of the structure is the same as in Embodiment 1. Example 3:
[0029] according to Figure 5-7Unlike Embodiment 1, this embodiment also includes a cover plate 16. The cover plate 16 is attached to the bottom surface of the folding extension plate 4 or the bottom surface of the table board body 1 by first magnetic snaps 17. When the folding extension plate 4 is folded, the cover plate 16 can be attached to the bottom surface of the folding extension plate 4 by the first magnetic snaps 17. At this time, the cover plate 16 forms a table surface. This utility model can be flipped for use. That is, when the folding extension plate 4 is above the table board body 1, the cover plate 16 can be used as a tabletop, further expanding the flexibility of use of this utility model. The rest of the structure is the same as in Embodiment 1. Example 4:
[0030] according to Figure 8-9 This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that: The folding expansion plate 4 has pull-out grooves 18 on both sides, with the openings of the pull-out grooves 18 located on the sides of the folding expansion plate 4. The telescopic bracket includes two U-shaped pull-out brackets 19, with the open end of the U-shaped pull-out bracket 19 being the inner end and the closed end being the outer end. The inner end of the U-shaped pull-out bracket 19 is located within the pull-out groove 18, and the outer end of the U-shaped pull-out bracket 19 extends out of the pull-out groove 18 or is located within the opening of the pull-out groove 18. The opening of the pull-out groove 18 has a notch 20 for easy pulling out the U-shaped pull-out bracket 18. The tableware body 1 or the folding expansion plate 4 has a placemat storage groove 21. The remaining structure is the same as in Embodiment 1.
