Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of dining tables, and in particular to a folding dining table. Background Technology

[0002] Dining tables, as indispensable furniture in modern homes and commercial spaces, play a vital role in people's daily lives. They are not only the primary platform for dining activities but also widely used in various settings such as work and social gatherings. With rising living standards and changing living environments, the functional and performance requirements for dining tables are also increasing. The market offers a diverse range of dining tables to meet the needs of different consumers. Among them, folding dining tables, with their foldable and space-saving features, have gained widespread use in homes with limited living space and in venues requiring flexible layouts. Especially against the backdrop of accelerated urbanization and the increasing prevalence of small apartments, the market demand for folding dining tables continues to grow, making them an important part of the furniture market.

[0003] In existing technologies, to achieve the folding function of a dining table, common folding dining table structures mainly consist of a tabletop, a support frame, and a folding connecting mechanism. The tabletop is made of various materials, including wood, metal, or composite materials, to meet different aesthetic and usage requirements. The support frame design primarily employs a foldable "X"-shaped bracket, detachable legs, or a rotatable hinge structure. Common folding methods include bi-fold, roll-up, or telescopic designs, which typically utilize hinges, pivots, and other connecting components to unfold and fold the tabletop. These structures and methods, to a certain extent, solve the folding problem of dining tables, allowing them to occupy less space when not in use.

[0004] However, existing folding dining tables have significant drawbacks. Most folding dining tables on the market currently have fixed dimensions, meaning the unfolded tabletop area cannot be adjusted. When the number of diners or users changes, users cannot flexibly adjust the tabletop size to suit their needs, resulting in inefficient space utilization. For example, with fewer people, an excessively large tabletop takes up too much space; while with more people, insufficient tabletop area may negatively impact the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to adjust the size of the dining table according to the number of users, this application provides a folding dining table.

[0006] This application provides a folding dining table, which adopts the following technical solution: A folding dining table includes two oppositely arranged tabletops, a support column connecting the two tabletops, and an extended tabletop. The support column is composed of multiple columns that are slidably connected along the axial direction, so that the two platforms can move closer to or further away from each other. The expansion platform has multiple expansion platforms, and the platform body is provided with a storage section for storing the expansion platform; When the two platforms are moved away from each other to the unfolded state, the extended platform can be taken out from the storage section and overlapped between the two platforms to form an extended desktop area together with the desktops of the two platforms.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding structure of the support column allows the two platforms to move closer or further apart to achieve folding and unfolding, which is convenient for storage and saves space. The platform is equipped with a storage section to store the extension platform. After the platform is unfolded, the extension platform can be taken out and overlapped between the platforms, which can flexibly adjust the size of the desktop according to the number of users and improve the space utilization rate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection between the extension table and the table body, as well as between adjacent extension tables, can be flexibly disassembled, making it easy to adjust the size of the desktop according to usage needs. Furthermore, when folding and storing, it is easy to separate each component, improving the ease of operation and storage.

[0012] Optionally, the connecting mechanism includes a pin disposed on the side of the extension platform and the opposite side of the platform body, and a pin slot adapted to the pin, wherein the pin is inserted into the pin slot.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution and utilizing the cooperation of the pin and the pin slot, the detachable connection between the extension table and the table body, and between adjacent extension tables, can be easily and quickly realized. This facilitates the flexible assembly and disassembly of the extension tabletop according to needs, and improves the ease of operation for adjusting the size of the folding dining table.

[0014] Optionally, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting hinge and a connecting bolt; There are multiple connecting hinges, which are disposed between adjacent extension plates and between the platform body and the extension plate; There are multiple connecting bolts that pass through both sides of the connecting hinge, and the connecting bolts are threadedly connected to the platform body and the extension plate, respectively.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting mechanism of connecting hinges and connecting bolts can achieve a stable connection between the extension table and the table body, and between adjacent extension table, ensuring the stability and integrity of the extended desktop area, and facilitating disassembly to adjust the desktop size.

[0016] Optionally, the storage section is a placement slot formed on the side wall of the platform, and the extension platform is slidably connected to the placement slot.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the storage section is set as a placement slot on the side wall of the platform, and the extended platform is slidably connected to the placement slot, which facilitates the placement and removal of the extended platform and makes the storage more stable and orderly.

[0018] Optionally, a support platform is provided between the platforms, and the support platform is connected to the middle position of the column located in the middle.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, a support platform is set between the tabletops of the folding dining table and connected to the middle position of the central column, which can enhance the stability of the folding dining table in the unfolded state and provide additional support for the tabletop.

[0020] Optionally, the two platforms are provided with storage slots on their opposite sides. When the two platforms are close to each other and folded, the support platform is accommodated in the storage slots.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, a storage slot is opened on the opposite side of the table body, so that the support table can be accommodated when the table body is folded, reducing the extra space occupied by the support table, improving the space utilization rate of the folding dining table after folding, and making it more convenient to store and store.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects: 1. The support column consists of multiple columns that slide sequentially along the axial direction, allowing the two platforms to move closer or further apart. Combined with the extension platform, it can be taken out from the storage section and overlapped between the two platforms, allowing the table size to be flexibly adjusted according to the number of users, thus improving space utilization. 2. A storage section is provided on the table to store the extension tabletop, making it easy to store the extension tabletop and keeping the folding dining table tidy when the extension function is not in use.

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses a folding dining table.

[0027] This application mainly adopts a folding dining table design with adjustable tabletop area, which achieves the effect of flexibly adjusting the tabletop size according to the number of users and improving space utilization. The following is a further detailed description of this application.

[0028] Example 1 See Figure 1 The folding dining table provided in this application includes two opposing tabletops 1, a support column 3 connecting the two tabletops 1, and an extended tabletop 2. The support column 3 is fixedly connected to each of the two tabletops 1, allowing the two tabletops 1 to move closer or further apart under the guidance of the support column 3. A storage section 11 on each tabletop 1 can store the extended tabletop 2. When the two tabletops 1 are in an unfolded state, the extended tabletop 2 can be removed from the storage section 11 and overlapped between the two tabletops 1, forming an extended tabletop area together with the tabletops of the two tabletops 1. This achieves the beneficial effect of flexibly expanding the tabletop area according to usage needs. This is because the sliding connection structure of the support column 3 makes it possible to move the tabletops 1, while the storage section 11 and the extended tabletop 2 create conditions for expanding the tabletop area.

[0029] See Figure 2Specifically, the support column 3 includes multiple columns 31. The columns 31 can be made of metal, such as stainless steel, which has good strength and corrosion resistance. The shape of the columns 31 is usually cylindrical or square; in this embodiment, the columns 31 are square. Adjacent columns 31 are slidably connected along the axial direction of the column 31. For example, sliders can be provided at the ends of the columns 31, and grooves can be opened on the side walls of the columns 31. The slider of one column 31 can slide within the groove of another column 31, achieving relative sliding between the columns 31. This sliding connection can also be replaced by a guide rail and guide block. The guide block is installed on one column 31, and the guide rail is set on another column 31, with the guide block sliding on the guide rail. Through this sliding connection, the multiple columns 31 allow the two platforms 1 to move closer or further apart. When the tabletop needs to be extended, the platform 1 is pulled open, and the columns 31 slide and extend relative to each other; when folding is required, the platform 1 is pushed closer, and the columns 31 slide and shorten relative to each other.

[0030] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 Each of the two tabletops 1 has a receiving groove 12 on its facing side. When the two tabletops 1 are close together in a folded state, the support column 3 is accommodated in the receiving groove 12. The shape of the receiving groove 12 is adapted to the support column 3, and it is usually a rectangular groove. The design of the receiving groove 12 allows the support column 3 to be hidden inside the tabletop 1 when the dining table is folded, reducing the space occupied by the dining table after folding.

[0031] Specifically, the platform 1 is provided with a storage section 11. The storage section 11 is a placement groove 111 formed on the side wall of the platform 1. The shape of the placement groove 111 is adapted to the extension platform 2, and is usually a rectangular groove. The extension platform 2 is slidably connected to the placement groove 111, so that the extension platform 2 can be stored in the placement groove 111. The extension platform 2 can be made of wood, such as oak, which is hard and beautiful; or it can be made of composite materials, which are lightweight and high-strength. The surface of the extension platform 2 is usually smoothed to improve the comfort of use.

[0032] Specifically, detachable connecting mechanisms 4 are provided between the extension platform 2 and the platform body 1, and between adjacent extension platforms 2. The connecting mechanism 4 can be in the form of pins 41 and pin slots 42. Multiple pins 41 are fixed to one vertical sidewall of the extension platform 2, and to the vertical sidewall of one platform body 1 facing another platform body 1. Pin slots 42 are located on the side of the extension platform 2 away from the pins 41, and on the vertical sidewall of another platform body 1 facing the pins 41. In use, the pins 41 are inserted into the pin slots 42, achieving connection between the extension platform 2 and the platform body 1, and between adjacent extension platforms 2. The pins 41 can be made of plastic or metal, and the dimensions of the pin slots 42 match the pins 41. This connection method facilitates installation and disassembly, enabling rapid expansion and contraction of the desktop.

[0033] Specifically, a support platform 5 is provided between the tabletops 1. Two connecting columns are fixedly connected to the top end of the support platform 5, each fixedly connected to the middle portion of the central column 31. The support platform 5 can be made of wood or metal, and its shape is typically an inverted "U" shape. The support platform 5 enhances the stability of the folding dining table, especially after the tabletop is extended, providing additional support for the extended tabletop.

[0034] Each of the two platform bodies 1 has a storage slot 13 on its opposite side. The storage slot 13 is located directly below the receiving slot 12 and is connected to the placement slot 111. When the two platform bodies 1 are close to each other, the two sides of the support platform 5 are respectively stored in the two storage slots 13 to store the support platform 5.

[0035] The implementation principle of a folding dining table in this application embodiment is as follows: The folding dining table in this embodiment utilizes a sliding connection structure of the support column 3 to allow the two tabletops 1 to move closer together and further apart, facilitating the folding and unfolding of the table. The storage section 11 on the tabletop 1 can store the extended tabletop 2. When the tabletop needs to be extended, the tabletop 1 is pulled open, the extended tabletop 2 is taken out from the storage section 11 and overlapped between the two tabletops 1. A detachable connecting mechanism 4 connects the extended tabletop 2 to the tabletop 1 and adjacent extended tabletops 2, forming an extended tabletop area. The support platform 5 enhances the stability of the dining table. Compared to existing technologies, the folding dining table in this embodiment can flexibly adjust the tabletop area according to the number of users, improving space utilization and meeting diverse usage needs.

[0036] Example 2 See Figure 4 and Figure 5The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the connecting mechanism 4 can also be in the form of connecting hinges 43 and connecting bolts 44. There are multiple connecting hinges 43, which are disposed between adjacent extension plates 2 and between the platform 1 and the extension plate 2. There are multiple connecting bolts 44, which pass through both sides of the connecting hinges 43 and are threadedly connected to the platform 1 and the extension plate 2 respectively. The connecting hinges 43 can be made of stainless steel, which has good strength and durability, while the connecting bolts 44 can be made of carbon steel. By tightening or loosening the connecting bolts 44, the extension plate 2 can be connected and disassembled.

[0037] The implementation principle of a folding dining table in Embodiment 2 of this application is as follows: When storing the extension platform 2, the platform body 1 and the extension platform 2 can be separated by removing the connecting bolt 44. Then, the two extension platforms 2 are grouped together. The two groups of extension platforms 2 can be separated by removing the connecting bolt 44. The two extension platforms 2 in the same group are flipped and overlapped by hinges for easy storage. When laying, the two extension platforms 2 in the same group can be taken out, and then opened and flipped to the same horizontal position. Then, the two extension platforms 2 in the same group can be laid directly. The two groups of extension platforms 2 are fixed by connecting bolt 44 and connecting hinge 43, which facilitates the laying of the extension platforms 2 and can improve the stability between the extension platform 2 and the platform body 1, as well as the connection stability between the extension platforms 2 and the extension platforms.

[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
