Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle parts technology, and more specifically, to a table assembly and a vehicle-mounted table. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, portable in-vehicle tables are widely used in various car models to meet passengers' storage needs. Typically, an in-vehicle table assembly includes a panel and connectors attached to it. In use, the connectors are attached to fixed components inside the vehicle (such as the armrest), and the panel is supported by the connectors, allowing for storage. When not in use, the table assembly can be detached for storage. However, in these technologies, the connectors are fixedly connected to the panel, protruding from the panel's surface. This results in a large space-consuming assembly that is difficult to store. Removing the connectors from the panel for storage is time-consuming and laborious. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application includes providing a tabletop assembly and a vehicle-mounted tabletop that are easy to store.

[0004] The embodiments of this application can be implemented as follows: In a first aspect, this application provides a tabletop assembly, including a panel and a connector. The connector is rotatably connected to the panel. The panel is provided with a storage portion. The connector is rotatable relative to the panel to switch between a first state and a second state. When the connector is in the first state, the connector is stored in the storage portion. When the connector is in the second state, the connector has a mating end located outside the storage portion. The mating end of the connector is used to connect with an external component.

[0005] In an alternative embodiment, the panel has a front and a back facing each other, a storage portion is provided on the back of the panel, and a connector is rotatably connected to the back of the panel.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, the connector includes two sub-components, each having a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end of the sub-component is rotatably connected to the panel. The storage part includes two storage sub-parts. When the connector is in the first state, the two sub-components are respectively stored in the two storage sub-parts. When the connector is in the second state, the two sub-components are joined together, and the second ends of the two sub-components extend from the storage sub-parts and are joined together to form the mating ends of the connector.

[0007] In an optional implementation, the rotation axes of the two sub-components are parallel to each other and parallel to the panel.

[0008] In an optional implementation, the panel includes two sub-panels, the sides of which are rotatably connected. Two storage sub-sections are respectively opened on two sub-plates, and two sub-components are respectively connected to the adjacent sides of the two sub-plates. The rotation axis of the sub-components is parallel to the rotation axis of the sub-plates. Alternatively, two storage sub-sections are opened on the same sub-plate, and two sub-components are connected to the sub-plate on which the storage sub-sections are opened.

[0009] In an optional implementation, each sub-component has a mating surface. When the connector is in a first state, the mating surface of the sub-component is parallel to the panel. When the connector is in a second state, the mating surfaces of the two sub-components are attached or adjacent to each other.

[0010] In an optional implementation, when the connector is in the first state, the mating surface of the sub-component is flush with the surface of the panel or the mating surface is lower than the surface of the panel.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, one of the two sub-components has a boss on its mating surface, and the other has a groove on its mating surface. The boss and the groove are engaged when the two sub-components are assembled.

[0012] In an alternative implementation, the boss gradually tapers from bottom to top, and the groove gradually tapers from opening to bottom.

[0013] In an alternative implementation, the connector is rotatably connected to the panel via a hinge or a pivot.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the mating end of the connector is provided with a slot for insertion and mating with an external component; Alternatively, the mating end of the connector may be provided with a plug-in portion, which is used to plug into and mate with external components.

[0015] In an optional implementation, the cross-sectional profile of the slot is non-circular, and the cross-section is perpendicular to the depth direction of the slot; Alternatively, the cross-sectional profile of the plug-in part is non-circular, and the cross-section is perpendicular to the extension direction of the plug-in part; Alternatively, the number of slots may be two or more; Alternatively, the number of the plug-in parts may be two or more.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the table assembly and vehicle table provided in this application embodiment include: The tabletop assembly provided in this application includes a panel and a connector. The connector is rotatably connected to the panel, and the panel has a storage portion. The connector can rotate relative to the panel to switch between a first state and a second state. When the connector is in the first state, it is stored in the storage portion. When the connector is in the second state, it has a mating end located outside the storage portion, which is used to connect with an external component. In use, the connector is rotated to the second state, and the mating end of the connector is used to connect with the external component, thereby fixing the tabletop assembly. At this time, the user can place items on the panel. When the tabletop assembly is not in use, the connector is disconnected from the external component, and then the connector is rotated back to the first state, allowing it to be stored in the storage portion. At this time, the tabletop assembly occupies less space and is easy to store. Furthermore, the connector can be stored simply by rotating it, which is simpler and more convenient than removing it.

[0020] This application provides a vehicle-mounted table, including the table assembly provided in the above embodiments, and therefore also has the advantage of being easy to store. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0025] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0027] In the description of this application, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," or "outer" are used to indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship that the utility model product is usually placed in during use, they are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0028] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0030] In related technologies, the connectors of the tabletop assembly are fixedly attached to the panel, occupying a significant amount of space. Furthermore, in limited storage spaces such as armrest boxes and glove boxes, the connectors protrude from the panel surface, further reducing space utilization. Removing the connectors from the panel and neatly placing them in the storage space could improve space utilization, but this approach is time-consuming, laborious, and inconvenient.

[0031] To address this, embodiments of this application provide a tabletop assembly that allows the connector to be retracted into the storage portion of the panel by rotating the connector, preventing the connector from protruding from the panel and occupying excessive storage space, thus making the tabletop assembly easy to store. Furthermore, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle-mounted tabletop that can be used in vehicles and offers high portability.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a tabletop assembly in one embodiment of this application. Figure 1As shown, the tabletop assembly provided in this embodiment includes a panel 100 and a connector 200. The connector 200 is rotatably connected to the panel 100, and the panel 100 is provided with a storage portion 120, which has a groove structure. The connector 200 can rotate relative to the panel 100 to switch between a first state and a second state. When the connector 200 is in the first state, it is stored in the storage portion 120. When the connector 200 is in the second state, it has a mating end 201 located outside the storage portion 120, which is used to connect with external components. Figure 1 In the middle, the connector 200 is in the second state, at which time the mating end 201 of the connector 200 can engage with external components (such as the support base 300 mentioned later, see...). Figure 15 The connector 200 is used to fix the table panel assembly for user use. In this embodiment, the connector 200 is a strip-shaped structure, with one end connected to the panel 100 and the other end being the mating end 201.

[0033] In this embodiment, panel 100 has a front and a back side. In this application, the front side of panel 100 is defined as the side used by the user (e.g., for placing items). Connector 200 is connected to the back side of panel 100, and storage portion 120 is located on the back side of panel 100. This arrangement makes the front side of panel 100 neater. When using the tabletop assembly, connector 200 is positioned below panel 100, providing upward support. In alternative embodiments, connector 200 and storage portion 120 can also be positioned on the front side of panel 100. In this configuration, when using the tabletop assembly, connector 200 is positioned above panel 100, and panel 100 is suspended from an external component via connector 200.

[0034] In this embodiment, the connector 200 is connected to the panel 100 via a first hinge 220. In this embodiment, the first hinge 220 is a hinge. In other optional embodiments, the rotatable connection between the connector 200 and the panel 100 can also be achieved in other ways, for example, the panel 100 and the connector 200 can be rotatably connected via a pivot 230.

[0035] In this embodiment, panel 100 includes two sub-panels 110, which are rotatably connected at their sides. This arrangement makes panel 100 a foldable structure, allowing it to be unfolded when needed and folded when stored, thus reducing the need for storage space. It should be understood that when panel 100 is unfolded, the two sub-panels 110 together form the front of panel 100 for user use, and the included angle between the two sub-panels 110 is equal to or close to 180°; when panel 100 is folded, the two sub-panels 110 overlap and are parallel to each other.

[0036] In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the connector 200 can be parallel to the panel 100; further, the rotation axis of the connector 200 can be parallel to the rotation axis of the sub-plate 110. In other embodiments, the rotation axis of the connector 200 can also be set at an angle to the rotation axis of the sub-plate 110, such as an obtuse angle, an acute angle, or a right angle.

[0037] Optionally, when the connector 200 is in the second state, the connector 200 is perpendicular to the panel 100. Optionally, a limiting structure may be provided on the panel 100 so that the connector 200 can be limited by the limiting structure after rotating from the first state to the second state, thereby maintaining it in the second state. For example, the limiting structure is a side wall at one end of the storage part 120. When the connector 200 rotates to the second state, this side wall abuts against the connector 200 in the second state, so that the connector 200 can be maintained in the second state.

[0038] To ensure that the connector 200 has sufficient strength to support the panel 100, the material of the connector 200 must have a certain strength, and the size of the connector 200 must be sufficient to support the panel 100. Therefore, when setting the storage part 120, it is necessary to adapt the size and shape of the connector 200 so that the connector 200 can be stored in the storage part 120 as much as possible, thereby reducing the overall size of the table assembly in the first state.

[0039] Figure 2 This is a first schematic diagram of the table assembly in another embodiment of this application; Figure 3 This is a second schematic diagram of the table assembly in another embodiment of this application; Figure 4 This is a third schematic diagram of the table assembly in another embodiment of this application. Figures 2 to 4 As shown, to better accommodate the connector 200, in this embodiment, the connector 200 includes two separable sub-components 210, each sub-component 210 having a first end 211 and a second end 212 opposite to each other. The first end 211 of the sub-component 210 is rotatably connected to the panel 100. The storage portion 120 includes two storage sub-sections 121, which should be understood to also be slot structures. When the connector 200 is in the first state, the two sub-components 210 are respectively stored in the two storage sub-sections 121, as shown. Figure 2 As shown; when the connector 200 is in the second state, the two sub-components 210 are assembled, and the second ends 212 of the two sub-components 210 extend from the receiving sub-part 121 and are assembled to form the mating end 201 of the connector 200, as shown. Figure 4 As shown. Figure 3This is a schematic diagram illustrating the transition of connector 200 from the first state to the second state. With this configuration, when storing connector 200, it can be divided into two sub-components 210 for separate storage. This reduces the depth requirement of the storage section 120 (specifically, the two storage sub-components 121), and consequently reduces the thickness requirement of the panel 100. This allows connector 200 (specifically, the two sub-components 210) to be better stored within the storage section 120 without protruding from its opening. Because a thinner panel 100 can be used, the overall tabletop assembly occupies less space and is easier to store.

[0040] In this embodiment, the rotation axes of the two sub-components 210 are parallel to each other and parallel to the panel 100; correspondingly, the two storage sub-parts 121 extend in the same direction and their ends are connected, and the two sub-components 210 are respectively connected to the ends of the corresponding storage sub-parts 121, specifically to the adjacent ends of the two storage sub-parts 121. When the connector 200 is in the first state, the two sub-components 210 are arranged in a straight line. In other optional embodiments, the rotation axes of the two sub-components 210 may also be at an angle. When the two sub-components 210 rotate to be perpendicular to the panel 100, the two sub-components 210 are joined together, and the second ends 212 of the two sub-components 210 form the mating ends 201 of the connector 200.

[0041] Optionally, the two receiving sub-sections 121 are connected, that is, the receiving section 120 is a single slot composed of two receiving sub-sections 121. In other words, both sub-components 210 are connected to the middle of the receiving section 120. In the second state, the two sub-components 210 can rotate in opposite directions to be received into the corresponding receiving sub-sections 121, thereby converting the connector 200 to the first state, that is, the state in which the connector 200 is received by the receiving section 120. In other optional embodiments, the two receiving sub-sections 121 may also be disconnected from each other, and the two sub-components 210 may be rotatably connected to the adjacent ends of the two receiving sub-sections 121.

[0042] In this embodiment, the panel 100 includes two sub-panels 110, which are rotatably connected at their sides, allowing the panel 100 to be folded and stored, reducing space occupation. In this embodiment, two storage sub-parts 121 are respectively provided on the two sub-panels 110, and two sub-components 210 are respectively connected to adjacent sides of the two sub-panels 110, with the rotation axis of the sub-components 210 parallel to the rotation axis of the sub-panels 110. In this configuration, the ends of both storage sub-parts 121 extend to adjacent sides of the two sub-panels; when the panel 100 is folded, the backs of the two sub-panels face each other, the openings of the two storage sub-parts 121 face each other, and the two sub-components 210 located in the two storage sub-parts 121 are joined together. After the panel 100 is folded, the two sub-components 210 are confined within the storage sub-parts 121 and will not move out, and the folded panel 100 has its front facing outwards, resulting in a flat and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0043] In alternative embodiments, the two storage sub-parts 121 may also be formed on the same sub-plate 110, and the two sub-components 210 are connected to the sub-plate 110 where the storage sub-parts 121 are formed. In alternative embodiments, the panel 100 may also be a non-foldable structure.

[0044] Figure 5 This is a partial exploded view of the tabletop assembly in one embodiment of this application. (In conjunction with...) Figures 2 to 5 In this embodiment, two sub-components 210 are rotatably connected to the panel 100 via a first hinge 220, and two sub-plates 110 are rotatably connected via two second hinges 130. It can be understood that both the first hinge 220 and the second hinge 130 can be hinges. The two relatively rotatable parts of the first hinge 220 connect the sub-component 210 and the panel 100, respectively, and the two relatively rotatable parts of the second hinge 130 connect the two sub-plates 110, respectively. Connecting the sub-component 210 and the panel 100 via the first hinge 220 and connecting the two sub-plates 110 via the second hinge 130 ensures better reliability of the relative rotation between the components.

[0045] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the sub-component 210 and the panel 100 in another embodiment of this application. Figure 6 As shown, in other optional embodiments, the panel 100 and the sub-component 210 are connected by a pivot 230. For example, one of the panel 100 and the sub-component 210 is provided with a pivot 230, and the other is provided with a shaft hole 217, with the pivot 230 and the shaft hole 217 rotatably engaged. Specifically, in this embodiment, the two ends of the pivot 230 are respectively connected to the two side walls of the receiving sub-component 121, and the first end 211 of the sub-component 210 is provided with a shaft hole 217, with the pivot 230 inserting into the shaft hole 217 on the sub-component 210.

[0046] In this embodiment, each sub-component 210 has a mating surface 213, specifically located between the first end 211 and the second end 212. When the connector 200 is in the first state, the mating surface 213 of the sub-component 210 is parallel to the panel 100; furthermore, when the connector 200 is in the first state, the mating surface 213 of the sub-component 210 faces outward from the opening of the receiving sub-part 121. When the connector 200 is in the second state, the mating surfaces 213 of the two sub-components 210 are abutted or adjacent to each other. Optionally, the mating surface 213 is planar. When the mating surfaces 213 of the two sub-components 210 are abutted, the connector 200 has better overall integrity, and the two sub-components 210 can better connect and cooperate with external components.

[0047] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the mating surface 213 of one of the sub-components 210 in one embodiment of this application; Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the mating surface 213 of another sub-component 210 according to one embodiment of this application. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, one of the two sub-components 210 has a boss 214 on its mating surface 213, and the other has a groove 215 on its mating surface 213. The boss 214 and the groove 215 engage when the two sub-components 210 are assembled. By providing the boss 214 and the groove 215, the two sub-components 210 can be accurately assembled without misalignment, resulting in better overall integrity of the connector 200 in the second state and thus better connection and engagement with external components. Furthermore, due to the limiting effect of the boss 214 and the groove 215, the two sub-components 210 of the connector 200 in the second state are less prone to relative wobbling, improving the stability of the connector 200.

[0048] Optionally, the boss 214 gradually tapers from bottom to top, and the groove 215 gradually tapers from opening to bottom. The bottom of the boss 214 refers to the end connected to the mating surface 213, and the top of the boss 214 refers to the end away from the mating surface 213. The opening of the groove 215 is formed on the mating surface 213, and the bottom of the groove 215 refers to the end of the groove 215 away from the mating surface 213. By setting the boss 214 and groove 215 to a taper shape, the boss 214 and groove 215 can be more easily inserted and mated. Even if the mating surfaces 213 of the two sub-components 210 are slightly misaligned when they approach each other due to manufacturing precision issues, the inclined walls of the boss 214 and groove 215 can guide them, ultimately ensuring proper insertion and mating, with the edges of the mating surfaces 213 of the two sub-components 210 aligned.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the boss 214 has a slope, with two slopes respectively located on opposite sides of the top of the boss 214, forming an obtuse angle with the top surface. The groove 215 has two opposing inclined sidewalls, forming an obtuse angle with the bottom surface of the groove 215. Specifically, in this embodiment, the spacing direction of the two slopes is parallel to the extension direction of the rotation axis of the sub-component 210, and the spacing direction of the two inclined sidewalls is also parallel to the extension direction of the rotation axis of the sub-component 210. In this embodiment, the groove 215 and the boss 214 are matched in size. When the two sub-components 210 are joined, the top surface of the boss 214 fits against the bottom surface of the groove 215, and the two slopes fit against the two inclined sidewalls respectively, making it difficult for the two sub-components 210 to wobble relative to each other. Furthermore, when the two joined sub-components 210 rotate in the same direction, the groove 215 and the boss 214 can also act as a limiting mechanism to restrict their rotation, so that the two sub-components 210 can only be separated by rotating in opposite directions.

[0050] Figure 9 This is a cross-sectional view of panel 100 and sub-component 210 in one embodiment of this application. Figure 9 As shown, optionally, when the connector 200 is in the first state, the mating surface 213 of the sub-component 210 is flush with the surface of the panel 100. This ensures that the sub-component 210 does not protrude from the receiving portion 121 when the connector 200 is in the first state, while also ensuring that the receiving portion 121 is as shallow as possible to avoid affecting the strength of the panel 100 due to the receiving portion 121 being too deep. In other optional embodiments, when the connector 200 is in the first state, the mating surface 213 of the sub-component 210 is lower than the surface of the panel 100.

[0051] Optionally, magnetic attraction parts can be provided on the mating surfaces 213 of the two sub-components 210 respectively to achieve magnetic attraction between the two sub-components 210, thereby better maintaining the connector 200 in the second state. For example, a magnet can be provided on the mating surface 213 of one sub-component 210, and a magnet or a metal part that can be attracted by a magnet can be provided on the mating surface 213 of the other sub-component 210.

[0052] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the connector 200 in a first state in another embodiment of this application; Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram showing the connector 200 in a second state according to another embodiment of this application. Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the panel 100 includes two sub-panels 110 rotatably connected. This embodiment is similar to... Figures 2 to 4The difference in the illustrated embodiment is that the storage part 120 and the two sub-components 210 are both disposed on one of the sub-plates 110, the extension direction of the storage part 120 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the sub-plate 110, and the rotation axis of the sub-components 210 is parallel to the rotation axis of the sub-plate 110.

[0053] In alternative embodiments, panel 100 may include more sub-panels 110, such as three sub-panels 110, and panel 100 may present a tri-fold structure. Alternatively, panel 100 may also be a single, non-foldable unit. Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the connector 200 in a first state in another embodiment of this application; Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram showing the connector 200 in a second state according to another embodiment of this application. Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the panel 100 is a non-foldable integral unit. In this case, due to the reduction in the use of the second hinge 130, the panel 100 has better structural stability and lower cost. Figures 10 to 13 In the illustrated embodiment, the connection method between the sub-component 210 and the panel 100 can be referred to Figures 2 to 4 Examples are not described here.

[0054] In this embodiment, the mating end 201 of the connector 200 is provided with a slot 216, which is used for insertion and mating with an external component. Optionally, the cross-sectional profile of the slot 216 is non-circular, and the cross-section is perpendicular to the depth direction of the slot 216. In this embodiment, the depth direction of the slot 216 is consistent with the extension direction of the connector 200. By setting the interface profile of the slot 216 to be non-circular, the connector 200 can be prevented from rotating relative to the external component after being inserted and mated with it through the slot 216. The cross-sectional shape of the slot 216 includes, but is not limited to, polygons, ellipses, etc. When the connector 200 includes two sub-components 210, the two sub-components 210 can also be combined to form a slot 216 with a non-circular cross-section.

[0055] In other embodiments, the mating end 201 of the connector 200 may also be provided with multiple slots 216, which are inserted and mated with multiple plug-in parts on the external component, thereby achieving the same function of preventing rotation. When the connector 200 includes two sub-components 210, the second end 212 of each sub-component 210 may be provided with a slot 216.

[0056] Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram showing the arrangement of the slot 216 on the connector 200 in one embodiment of this application. Figure 14As shown, each of the two sub-components 210 has a trapezoidal slot 216 at its second end 212. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the shape of the slot 216 can be adjusted as needed, including but not limited to circular or semi-circular shapes (e.g., circular, semi-circular). Figure 7 , Figure 8 Examples include trapezoids, etc.

[0057] It should be understood that in other embodiments, the mating end 201 of the connector 200 may also be provided with a plug-in portion, which is used to plug into a slot on an external component. Furthermore, the cross-sectional profile of the plug-in portion is non-circular, and this cross-section is perpendicular to the extension direction of the plug-in portion. By setting the cross-section of the plug-in portion to be non-circular, rotation of the connector 200 relative to the external component can be prevented. Similarly, the cross-sectional shape of the plug-in portion includes, but is not limited to, polygons, ellipses, etc. When the connector 200 includes two sub-components 210, the two sub-components 210 can also be combined to form a plug-in portion with a non-circular cross-section. In other embodiments, the mating end 201 of the connector 200 may also be provided with multiple plug-in portions, which can be plugged into multiple slots on the external component one by one, similarly achieving the function of preventing rotation. For example, when the connector 200 includes two sub-components 210, a plug-in portion can be provided at the second end 212 of each sub-component 210.

[0058] Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of a vehicle-mounted table in one embodiment of this application; Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram of the support base 300 in one embodiment of this application; Figure 17 This is a cross-sectional view of a vehicle-mounted table in one embodiment of this application; Figure 18 This is a schematic diagram of the cooperation between the connector 200 and the mounting groove 310 in one embodiment of this application. Figures 15 to 18 As shown in the figure, the vehicle-mounted table provided in this application embodiment includes a table assembly and a support base 300. The support base 300 has a mounting groove 310, which is inserted into and engaged with the mating end 201 of the connector 200.

[0059] In this embodiment, a plug-in portion 320 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 310. After the mating end 201 of the connector 200 is inserted into the mounting groove 310, the plug-in portion 320 can engage with the slot 216 of the connector 200, thereby improving the connection reliability between the connector 200 and the support base 300 and simultaneously preventing the connector 200 from rotating relative to the support base 300. In this embodiment, there are two plug-in portions 320. The connector 200 includes two sub-components 210, each of which is provided with a slot 216. The shapes of the two slots 216 are adapted to the shapes of the two plug-in portions 320. In other optional embodiments, the slot 216 may be provided in the mounting groove 310, and the plug-in portion 320 may be provided on the connector 200.

[0060] Figure 19 This is a schematic diagram of the mating end 201 of the connector 200 in another embodiment of this application; Figure 20 This is a schematic diagram showing the mating end 201 of the connector 200 and the mounting groove 310 in another embodiment of this application. Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, in an optional embodiment, at least a section of the connector 200 inserted into the mounting groove 310 can be set to a non-circular cross-section. For example, the cross-section of the mating end 201 or adjacent to the mating end 201 of the connector 200 can be set to a non-circular cross-section, and the cross-sectional shape of the mounting groove 310 can be set to a matching non-circular cross-section, which can also prevent the connector 200 from rotating. Figure 19 and Figure 20 In this embodiment, a section of the connector 200 inserted into the mounting groove 310 has a hexagonal cross-section, and a section of the mounting groove 310 is a matching hexagon, thereby preventing the connector 200 from rotating. Additionally, a first magnetic attraction part 202 can be provided on the end face of the mating end 201 of the connector 200, and a second magnetic attraction part 311 can be provided on the bottom of the mounting groove 310, so that the connector 200 and the mounting groove 310 can be magnetically attracted to each other to prevent easy separation due to bumps. Optionally, one of the first magnetic attraction part 202 and the second magnetic attraction part 311 is a magnet, and the other is a magnet or a metal that can be attracted by a magnet.

[0061] Furthermore, the support base 300 has a mounting part 330, which is used to engage with a cup holder inside the vehicle. In use, the mounting part 330 can be inserted into the cup holder inside the vehicle to fix the vehicle table.

[0062] In summary, this application provides a tabletop assembly and a vehicle-mounted tabletop. The tabletop assembly includes a panel 100 and a connector 200. The connector 200 is rotatably connected to the panel 100. The panel 100 has a storage portion 120. The connector 200 can rotate relative to the panel 100 to switch between a first state and a second state. When the connector 200 is in the first state, it is stored in the storage portion 120. When the connector 200 is in the second state, it has a mating end 201 located outside the storage portion 120, which is used to connect with an external component. In use, the connector 200 is rotated to the second state, and the mating end 201 is used to connect with the external component, thereby fixing the tabletop assembly. At this time, the user can place items on the panel 100. When the tabletop assembly is not in use, disconnect the connector 200 from the external components, then rotate the connector 200 to the first position, allowing it to be stored in the storage section 120. At this point, the tabletop assembly occupies less space, making it easier to store. Furthermore, the connector 200 can be stored simply by rotating it, which is much simpler and more convenient than removing it.

[0063] The vehicle-mounted table provided in this application embodiment includes the table assembly provided in the above embodiment, and therefore also has the advantage of being easy to store.

[0064] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
