[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model is a foldable and portable outdoor table and chair, including a table body, and the side of the table body is provided with a folding device;

[0008] The folding device includes a pivot shaft rotatably connected to the side of the table body. A fixing rod is rotatably connected to the circumferential surface of the pivot shaft. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the table body. A pivot shaft is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixing block. A support leg is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the pivot shaft. A groove is formed on the side of the support leg. A compression spring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the groove. One end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to a locking post. Fixing grooves A and B are formed on the side of the fixing block. The function of this folding device is to allow the support legs of the table and chair to be easily folded and unfolded. The locking post, groove, and compression spring provide a locking function, ensuring that the support legs are firmly fixed during use and easy to store when not in use. Through this design, the entire table and chair system ensures both stability and ease of carrying and storage.

[0009] Furthermore, the diameter of the fixing groove A is the same as the diameter of the locking post, and the diameter of the fixing groove B is the same as the diameter of the locking post. This consistent diameter design allows the locking post to match the fixing grooves B and A more precisely, thereby ensuring that the folding table and chair can be securely locked during use, preventing accidental loosening or instability, and improving the overall user experience and product durability.

[0010] Furthermore, four of the aforementioned fixing blocks, support legs, compression springs, locking posts, fixing slots A and B are provided, and these four fixing blocks, support legs, compression springs, locking posts, fixing slots A and B are respectively located at the four corners of the table body. These four sets of components are intended to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the table body, as well as to provide a certain degree of cushioning when subjected to external forces, preventing damage or deformation.

[0011] Furthermore, the table body and pivot are provided in two configurations, symmetrical about the vertical central axis of the fixing rod. A handle is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing rod. The core purpose of this structural design is to enhance the adjustability, stability, ease of operation, and safety of the table body, allowing for flexible application in different situations and improving the user experience and functionality of the furniture.

[0012] Furthermore, a fixing device is provided at the bottom of the table body. The fixing device includes a pin block, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the table body. A slot is formed on the side of the pin block, and a pin rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the table body. A slot is formed on the side of the pin rod, and a strong spring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the slot. One end of the strong spring is fixedly connected to a locking rod. This design is intended to provide a fixing effect when the table body is folded and stored, making the folded table body more convenient to carry and preventing it from falling apart during transport.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the pin block is located on the displacement trajectory of the pin rod, and the opening diameter of the pin block is consistent with the diameter of the pin rod. The core function of this design is to ensure a precise fit and stable connection between the pin block and the pin rod, thereby improving the reliability, accuracy, and load-bearing capacity of the entire system.

[0014] Furthermore, the side of the slot is located on the displacement trajectory of the locking rod, and the diameter of the slot is the same as the diameter of the locking rod. The core function of this design is to ensure a precise fit between the locking rod and the slot, thereby achieving precise control over the locking and releasing processes. The matching of the slot and the locking rod allows the system to maintain a stable locked state when needed, and to smoothly and accurately return to the unlocked state when released, ensuring the stability, safety, and durability of the device.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model achieves folding by using a combination of components such as grooves, pivots, and compression springs. When the table needs to be folded, the operator presses the locking post, which pushes the compression spring to retract, locking the post in contact with the fixing groove A. Then, the operator rotates the support leg, causing the locking post to move to the fixing groove B. The compression spring then pushes the locking post back to its original position, locking it in place. At this point, the support leg is folded. The operator then pulls the handle, causing the table to rotate via the pivot, bringing the two table sections into contact. This allows for convenient folding and unfolding, and the locking function provided by the locking post, groove, and compression spring ensures the support leg is securely fixed during use and easy to store when not in use.

[0017] 2. This utility model achieves its functionality through the coordinated operation of components such as pins, slots, rods, and latches. When the folding device is in operation, the rod aligns with the pin, and the operator pushes the two table bodies to compress them. Subsequently, the latch pushes the powerful spring to retract. Then, when the latch moves to the slot, the powerful spring uses its own elasticity to push the latch back to its horizontal position. The latch then engages with the slot, locking the folded table body in place. This provides a secure hold when the table is folded and stored, making it more convenient to carry and preventing it from unraveling during transport.

[0018] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model is a foldable and convenient outdoor table and chair, including a table body 1, and a folding device 2 is provided on the side of the table body 1.

[0029] The folding device 2 includes a pivot 21, which is rotatably connected to the side of the table body 1. A fixing rod 22 is rotatably connected to the circumferential surface of the pivot 21. A fixing block 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the table body 1. A pivot 24 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixing block 23. A support leg 25 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the pivot 24. A groove 26 is formed on the side of the support leg 25. A compression spring 27 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the groove 26. A locking post 28 is fixedly connected to one end of the compression spring 27. A fixing groove A29 and a fixing groove B210 are formed on the side of the fixing block 23. The function of this folding device 2 is to allow the support leg 25 of the table and chair to be easily folded and unfolded. The locking post 28, groove 26, and compression spring 27 provide a locking function, ensuring that the support leg 25 is firmly fixed during use and easy to store when not in use. Through this design, the entire table and chair system ensures both stability and ease of carrying and storage.

[0030] The diameter of the fixing groove A29 is the same as the diameter of the locking post 28, and the diameter of the fixing groove B210 is the same as the diameter of the locking post 28. The consistent diameter design allows the locking post 28 to match the fixing grooves B210 and A29 more precisely, thereby ensuring that the folding table and chair can be firmly locked during use, preventing accidental loosening or instability, and improving the overall user experience and product durability.

[0031] There are four components: fixing block 23, support leg 25, compression spring 27, locking post 28, fixing groove A29, and fixing groove B210. These four components are located at the four corners of the table body 1. These four sets of components are intended to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the table body 1, and to provide a certain degree of cushioning when subjected to external forces, preventing damage or deformation.

[0032] The table body 1 has two pivots 21, which are symmetrical about the vertical central axis of the fixing rod 22. A handle 211 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing rod 22. The core purpose of this structural design is to enhance the adjustability, stability, ease of operation, and safety of the table body 1, so that the table body 1 can be flexibly used in different occasions, and improve the user's operating experience and the functionality of the furniture.

[0033] The bottom of the table body 1 is equipped with a fixing device 3, which includes a pin 31. The top of the pin 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the table body 1, and a slot 33 is formed on the side of the pin 31. A pin 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the table body 1, and a slot 35 is formed on the side of the pin 34. A strong spring 36 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the slot 35, and a locking rod 37 is fixedly connected to one end of the strong spring 36. This design is to provide a fixing effect when the table body 1 is folded and stored, making the folded table body 1 more convenient to carry and preventing it from falling apart during transportation.

[0034] The bottom of pin 31 is located on the displacement trajectory of pin 34, and the opening diameter of pin 31 is the same as the diameter of pin 34. The core function of this design is to ensure a precise fit and stable connection between pin 31 and pin 34, thereby improving the reliability, accuracy, and load-bearing capacity of the entire system.

[0035] The side of the slot 35 lies on the displacement trajectory of the lever 37, and the diameter of the slot 35 is the same as the diameter of the lever 37. The core function of this design is to ensure a precise fit between the lever 37 and the slot 35, thereby achieving precise control over the locking and releasing processes. The matching of the slot 35 and the lever 37 allows the system to maintain a stable locked state when needed, and to smoothly and accurately return to the unlocked state when released, ensuring the stability, safety, and durability of the device.

[0036] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: When table 1 needs to be folded, the operator first presses the locking post 28. The locking post 28 applies pressure to push the compression spring 27 to retract until the locking post 28 is unlocked from the fixing groove A29. Next, the operator begins to rotate the support leg 25. By rotating the support leg 25, the locking post 28 slides along the track and gradually moves to the fixing groove B210. At this time, during the release process, the compression spring 27 pushes the locking post 28 to reset through its own elasticity, causing the locking post 28 to quickly return to its original position and precisely engage with the fixing groove B210 to achieve locking, ensuring that the support leg 25 is folded stably and securely. In this process, the folding of the support leg 25 is completed, and the folding steps of table 1 are basically completed. Next, the operator pulls the handle 211, using the rotation function of the pivot 21 to make table 1 rotate around the pivot 21. As the rotation continues, the two table 1s gradually approach each other and eventually come into contact, ready to enter the stacking or storage state, thus completing the entire folding process.

[0037] When the folding device 2 starts operating, the pin 34 and pin block 31 automatically align, ensuring precise engagement. At this time, the operator pushes the two table bodies 1 together, using external force to gradually bring the table bodies 1 closer together. With the pressure applied, the locking lever 37 begins to compress the powerful spring 36. The contraction of the powerful spring 36 stores sufficient energy to prepare for the subsequent reset action. As the locking lever 37 continues to move along the track and approaches the slot 33, the elasticity of the powerful spring 36 kicks in, pushing the locking lever 37 horizontally back to its original position through its own counter-elastic force. With the reset of the locking lever 37, it smoothly enters the slot 33 and precisely engages with it, achieving a secure lock. This locking process fixes the folded table body 1 in the predetermined position, ensuring that the table body 1 will not loosen or fall off due to external force or vibration in the folded state, ultimately ensuring the stability and safety of the table body 1 structure.
