[0002] Nowadays, people increasingly enjoy outdoor activities, and many have developed a love for camping. Outdoor extendable tables are designed to be set up for outdoor activities and, to facilitate their transport, they are generally foldable and compact.
[0003] A search of existing literature revealed Chinese patent no. CN202320308144.8, which describes a height-adjustable folding outdoor table. This table can be disassembled for transport and offers a stable structure once assembled. Furthermore, the table legs are height-adjustable to adapt to different terrains, making it practical and easy to use. It occupies little space and is easy to transport, making it ideal for outdoor use.
[0004] However, this technical solution has drawbacks. Although these extendable outdoor tables are easy to store and transport, their table surface is limited and unsuitable when there are many items to place on it. In order to improve the functionality of extendable outdoor tables, the present invention proposes a new type of table that not only folds and stores easily for transport, but can also be adjusted in height and has an extendable tabletop that can be deployed to provide a larger surface for storing utensils, making it more suitable for outdoor activities.
[0005] Therefore, the present invention was designed to improve and resolve the problems mentioned above. After extensive research and rigorous application of scientific principles, we have finally developed a rationally designed technical solution that effectively addresses the aforementioned shortcomings.

It is not only easy to fold and store for transport, but can also be adjusted in height and has an extendable tabletop that can be deployed to provide a larger surface for storing utensils, making it more suitable for outdoor activities.
[0008] The technical solution to the aforementioned technical problems is as follows: an extendable outdoor table comprising an outdoor table body, a first tabletop, a second tabletop, support tubes, and positioning pins. The outdoor table body consists of two parts that are connected by rotation. The first and second tabletops are each associated with a part of the outdoor table body. A connecting base is fixed to the bottom of each part of the outdoor table body. Four support tubes are connected by rotation to the connecting base, each near one of the two ends of the base. Support rods slide inside the support tubes and are fixed to a support base. A support bolt passes through the support rods. Connecting blocks are fixed to each side of the outdoor table body, near the connection.Positioning bolts pass through the connection blocks. Spindle sleeves are installed on the support tubes and the connection base, and positioning pins allow the support tubes and the connection base to be positioned.
[0009] In addition to the basic technical solution described above, the present invention can be improved in the following ways:
