[0028] In this case, the slide surface 320 also includes a first slide surface 321, the two ends of the roller limiting portion 322 are each provided with a limiting tilting surface 325, and the limiting tilting surfaces 325 at both ends are hinged with the first slide surface 321 and the slide housing 323, respectively, the first slide surface 321, the lower surface of the slide housing 323, and the upper slide housing 221 being at the same level; the optimization of the first slide surface 321, the lower surface of the slide housing 323, and the upper slide housing 221 is optimized. The lower surface 323 and the upper slide housing 221 are in the same horizontal plane, so that the first tray unit 110 and the second tray unit 120 can be in the same plane when unfolded.
[0029] Preferably, the slide surface 320 is located at the central end of the upper slide groove 221, and the upper slide groove 221 is also provided with a receiving housing 224, designed to match the upper and lower sides of the slide surface 320, and the receiving housing 224 is designed to facilitate the sliding coordination of the rollers 130 in order to increase the accuracy of the coordination between the upper slide groove 221 and the rollers 130 in order to increase the sliding stability and the stability of the use of the rollers 130.
[0030] Preferably, the slide housing 323 is provided with a stop block 324 at the other end to prevent outward movement of roller 130.
[0031] In one of the preferred embodiments, the slide seat 300 and the slide side frame 220 are supplied as a single piece.
[0032] In one of the preferred embodiments, the slide seat 300 and the slide rim 220 have a two-part structure, and the slide seat 300 is fixed to the slide rim 220 by fasteners, which are usually bolts or fixing screws.
[0033] Preferably, a filling block 400 is also included, the filling block 400 is located on one side of the slide seat 300 and is designed to adjust the position of the slide seat 300, the filling block 400 is fixedly mounted to the end of the side slide frame 220 by means of fasteners, which facilitates the determination of the position of the slide seat 300, so that the slide seat 300 can be adapted to products having different specifications, and improves the applicability of the installation of the slide seat 300.
[0034] In combination with the above, when the external extension table moves from a deployed state to a contracted state, the second tray unit 120 is generally moved, and the roller 130 at one end of the second tray unit 120 is generally located in the slide housing 323, and the user generally pushes the second tray unit 120 so that the roller 130 of the second tray unit 120 is moved along the limit tilt surface 325 until it slides into the first slide surface 321.After the user pushes the second tray unit 120, the roller 130 of the second tray unit 120 moves along the limited tilt surface 325 until it slides into the first slide surface 321, then the user continues to slide the second tray unit 120 so that the roller 130 moves along the inclined slide surface 223 until it slides into the lower slide housing 222, then the roller 130 at the other end of the second tray unit 120 moves through the slotted opening 225 into the lower slide housing 222, causing the first tray unit 110 to move back along the upper slide housing 221 until the first tray unit 110 and the second tray unit 120 stack up and down. .
[0035] When the extendable garden table moves from a contracted to an extended state, the first tabletop unit 110 is generally moved to the far end, then the second tabletop unit 120 is moved, and the user typically pushes the second tabletop unit 120 so that the rollers 130 of the second tabletop unit 120 are pulled along the inclined slide housing 223 to the upper slide housing 221, and at that moment, the rollers at the other end of the second tabletop unit 120 can be moved into the upper slide housing 221 through the opening 225, and by continuously pushing, the user pushes the second tabletop unit 120 so that the sliding wheel 130 in the second tabletop unit 120 slides along the first slide surface 321 to the limit tilting surface 325, and by sliding continuously,so that the sliding wheel slides into the slide housing 323, and at that moment, the first tray unit 110 and the second tray unit 120 are unfolded to form a flat surface. . ,
[0036] According to the present invention, the arrangement of the roller limiting part on the slide seat makes it possible to limit the free sliding of the roller and to increase stability during the use of the tabletop.
[0037] The foregoing relates only to preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modification, equivalent change, or improvement made to the embodiments in accordance with the principles of the present invention remains within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
