[0002] When camping outdoors, people usually bring foldable tables and chairs with them in their vehicles.

[0003] To reduce the space occupied after folding, existing outdoor folding tables typically have their four legs folded and installed independently at the corners of the tabletop. While this installation method can reduce the folded size, the stability of each leg after unfolding may not be high enough due to their independence, which may lead to unstable support when used outdoors.

[0004] Based on this, those skilled in the art have proposed an outdoor folding table, which offers a new solution to the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1-9 The present invention provides an outdoor folding table including a support beam 1 symmetrically arranged on both sides, several panels 5 detachably mounted between the two support beams 1, and table legs 2 rotatably connected to one end of the bottom of the support beams 1. It also includes a gas spring 3, with its two ends rotatably connected to the corresponding support beams 1 and table legs 2. When the table legs 2 are unfolded, the gas spring 3, table legs 2 and support beams 1 together form a triangular support structure, which makes the table legs 2 more stable.

[0027] A gas spring is a device that uses compressed gas as an energy storage and force application medium. Its working principle can be summarized as using the compressibility of gas to store energy and controlling the gas flow to achieve controllable support, cushioning, and movement. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated further.

[0028] A connecting post 7 is fixed to the bottom inner side of the table leg 2, and one end of the gas spring 3 piston is rotatably connected to the connecting post 7.

[0029] The gas spring 3 uses a common support-type gas spring, whose cylinder is filled with high-pressure nitrogen gas, whose pressure is much higher than atmospheric pressure. The initial inflation pressure of the gas spring 3 causes the piston rod to tend to extend outward. When the table leg 2 is unfolded, the piston rod extends outward along with the initial pressure of the gas spring to facilitate the unfolding of the table leg 2. During this process, the volume of the rod chamber gradually decreases and the pressure gradually increases, while the volume of the rodless chamber gradually increases and the pressure gradually decreases. When an external force tends to fold the table leg 2, the external force will simultaneously act on the piston rod to press it into the cylinder. At this time, the piston gradually moves towards the bottom of the cylinder. During the process, the volume of the rod chamber gradually decreases, and the gas inside the rodless chamber is further compressed, causing the pressure to rise sharply. The throttling orifice or channel on the piston allows a small amount of high-pressure gas (and mixed damping oil) to slowly flow from the high-pressure rodless chamber to the low-pressure rod chamber. Because the throttling orifice is very small, the flow of gas and oil is subject to great resistance. This process produces a damping effect (buffering effect), which slows down the retraction speed of the piston rod and makes the movement smooth, rather than retracting suddenly. This prevents the table leg 2 from suddenly folding under external force, causing the entire tabletop to tip over and affecting its use, and makes the support of the table leg 2 more stable.

[0030] refer to Figure 4-5 In an optional embodiment, a support rod 6 is also included. The support rod 6 is disposed between two connecting posts 7 at one end and is used to connect two table legs 2 located at the same end for longitudinal support. The support rod 6 includes a rod body 61 and connectors 62 fixed at both ends of the rod body 61. A receiving cavity 63 is formed inside the connector 62. A matching connection port 64 is formed at the end of the connector 62 near the connecting post 7. The connector 62 is fastened to the corresponding connecting post 7 through the connection port 64. A retaining ring 8 is fixed on the outer periphery of the connecting post 7. When the connector 62 is fastened to the corresponding connecting post 7, the connection port 64 is fastened between the retaining ring 8 and the table leg 2 and abuts against the retaining ring 8. When the connector 62 is fastened to the connecting post 7, the piston rod end of the gas spring 3 and part of the connecting rod 7 are located inside the receiving cavity 63. Cavity 63 encloses the ends of connecting post 7 and gas spring 3, improving the overall aesthetics. Simultaneously, connector 62 is fastened to connecting post 7 via connector port 64, making support rod 6 detachable for easy assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, when connector 62 is fastened to connecting post 7, its connector port 64 is positioned between the retaining ring 8 and the end face of table leg 2, allowing movement only within this range, thus connecting the two table legs 2. The limiting effect of connector 62 on retaining ring 8 and table leg 2 restricts movement of the two table legs 2 along the axial direction of rod 61, improving stability. Additionally, the detachable nature of support rod 6 does not affect the folding of table legs 2 or the longitudinal folding of the two support beams 1 towards each other. The structure is simple, low-cost, easy to popularize, and highly practical.

[0031] refer to Figure 6-7 A longitudinal folding mechanism 4 is provided between the ends of the two supporting beams 1.

[0032] The longitudinal folding mechanism includes folding plates 41 rotatably connected to opposite sides of the ends of two support beams 1. A connecting block 42 is rotatably connected between the two folding plates 41. When it is necessary to bring the two support beams 1 closer together for longitudinal folding, the panel 5 is removed and the connecting block 42 is pushed inward so that the folding plates rotate around the corresponding support beams 1 and the connecting block 42 to a parallel state.

[0033] Arc-shaped guide grooves 43 are provided on the inner sides of both ends of the connecting block 42. A guide post 44 matching the arc-shaped guide groove 43 is fixed on the inner side of the folding plate 41 near the connecting block 42. The guide post 44 is slidably connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped guide groove 43. Through the cooperation of the guide post 44 and the arc-shaped guide groove, the connection between the connecting block 42 and the folding plate 41 is more stable, and it is also convenient to guide when folding the folding plate 41.

[0034] The inner walls at both ends of the arc-shaped guide groove 43 have inwardly protruding positioning flanges 45. The design of the positioning flanges 45 allows the guide post 44 to stay at both ends of the arc-shaped guide groove 43, so that the folding plate 41 can be stably in the unfolded or folded position, making its unfolded or folded state more stable.

[0035] refer to Figure 8 When table leg 2 is folded close to the support beam 1, the angle A between the axis of gas spring 3 and the support beam 1 is less than 90 degrees. This means that when table leg 2 needs to be unfolded again after being folded, a small external force needs to be applied manually to move table leg 2, so that the state of table leg 2 after being folded is more stable, preventing it from unfolding a small part naturally under the weight of the table, which would affect the folding effect and user experience.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
