[0036] As described above, the operating linkage table (200) of the present invention includes a main holder (210), a damper (220), a guide plate (230), a lock holder (240), a ball plunger (250), an operating link (L), a plate (P), a leaf spring (S), and a table (T).
[0037] The plate (P) has the shape of a plate material having a constant length in the upper and lower directions, and has components provided on one side, and has functions such as connecting and supporting the components.
[0038] The guide plate (230) has the shape of a plate and is provided on one side of the plate (P), and includes a guide rail (231) and an arc-shaped guide part (232).
[0039] The above guide rail (231) is provided in a protruding state on the outer surface of the guide plate (230), and two are provided at regular intervals on both sides based on the virtual left and right center lines of the guide plate (230), and guide the lock holder (240) upward by being inserted into the guide groove (241) of the lock holder (240).
[0040] The above-mentioned arc-shaped guide portion (232) is provided in a shape that is recessed in an arc shape at the lower end of the guide plate (230), so that when the guide plate (230) rotates in the left and right directions relative to the main holder (210) in conjunction with the plate (P), it rotates along the arc surface of the main holder (210) at a constant interval.
[0041] The lock holder (240) has the shape of a plate and is provided on one side of the guide plate (230). The bottom surface of the table (T) and the top part of the lock holder (240) are connected by an operating link (L), so that the lock holder (240) rises and falls according to the upward and downward rotation of the table (T). It includes a guide groove (241), a seating groove (242), a guide groove (243), an upper catch (244), a protrusion (245), and a through hole (246).
[0042] The above guide groove (241) is provided with two grooves that are recessed at regular intervals on both sides based on the virtual left and right center lines of the lock holder (240), and guide rails (231) provided on the guide plate (230) are inserted therein to guide the lock holder (240) to slide in the up and down directions, while preventing the lock holder (240) from deviating from its path in the left and right directions.
[0043] The above protrusion (245) is provided in a shape that protrudes from the center of the lower part of the lock holder (240) and is inserted into the circumferential groove (213) of the main holder (210).
[0044] The above-mentioned mounting groove (242) is provided in a shape that is continuously recessed into the interior of the protrusion (245) and the lower part of the lock holder (240), and a ball plunger (250) is embedded in the mounting groove (242).
[0045] The above guide groove (243) is provided in a recessed shape narrower than the width of the seating groove (242) at the upper part of the seating groove (242), and has the function of guiding the guide rod (255) of the ball plunger (250) by inserting it in the upper and lower directions.
[0046] The upper stopper (244) has a 'L'-shaped step structure formed by the upper part of the seating groove (242) and the lower part of the guide groove (243), and has the function of supporting the upper surface of the coil spring (251).
[0047] The above through hole (246) is provided in a shape that penetrates the lower central part of the seating groove (242), and the lock (252) of the ball plunger (250) is inserted.
[0048] The ball plunger (250) is provided inside the seating groove (242) of the lock holder (240) and includes a coil spring (251), a lock key (252), a lower locking projection (253), a tip (254), and a guide rod (255).
[0049] The above guide rod (255) has a cylindrical shape, and its upper part is fitted and coupled to the guide groove (243) so that it can slide.
[0050] The above lock (252) is provided at the lower end of the guide rod (255) and extends through the through hole (246).
[0051] The above-mentioned tip (254) is provided in a conical shape at the lower end of the lock key (252) and is selectively fitted and coupled into the insertion groove (212) of the main holder (210).
[0052] The lower stopper (253) has a structure that protrudes circumferentially with a diameter that does not pass through the through hole (246) on the upper side of the tip portion (254) of the lower end of the guide rod (255), and has the function of supporting the lower end of the coil spring (251).
[0053] The above coil spring (251) is provided between the lower catch (253) and the upper catch (244) to apply elastic pressure to the ball plunger (250).
[0054] When the tip (254) of the ball plunger (250) having such a configuration is inserted into and fixed in the insertion groove (212) of the main holder (210), the impact force and noise are attenuated by the elastic force of the coil spring (251), thereby having an effect.
[0055] The main holder (210) is provided with a circular shape and a through hole at one lower side of the outer surface of the plate (P), and is fixed to a console, etc., and the plate (P) rotates in the left and right directions within a certain range relative to the main holder (210).
[0056] The main holder (210) as described above includes a stopper (211), an insertion groove (212), and a circumferential groove (213).
[0057] The above stopper (211) is provided with a shape protruding at regular intervals on the outer surface of the main holder (210) in the circumferential direction, and when the plate (P) rotates, the arc-shaped guide part (232) formed at the lower end of the guide plate (230) provided on one side of the plate (P) has the function of restricting rotation in the left and right directions only in the section between the two stoppers (211) provided in the circumferential direction.
[0058] The above-mentioned circular groove (213) is provided in a recessed shape in a certain section of the arc of the main holder (210), thereby forming a space into which the protrusion (245) and the lock key (252) can be inserted.
[0059] The above insertion groove (212) is provided in multiple numbers on the bottom surface of the recessed circumferential groove (213), and the tip portion (254) of the lock key (252) is selectively fitted and fixed, thereby limiting the rotation range of the plate (P), so that the rotation range of the table (T) can be limited.
[0060] In this way, the table (T) can be fixed in a certain direction to the left and right by means of the interlocking action of the main holder (250), the lock holder (240), and the plate (P).
[0061] The damper (220) is connected to the operating link (L) to provide a damping function when the table (T) rotates, and includes a damper plate (221), a damper rod (222), and a damper body (223).
[0062] The above damper plate (221) is connected to an operating link (L) and moves up and down by the rotation of the operating link (L) which is linked to a table (T) that rotates up and down.
[0063] One side of the damper rod (222) is connected to the damper plate (221), and the other side is connected to the damper body (223) provided on the plate (P), so that it moves up and down by means of an operating link (L) that moves in conjunction with the rotation of the table (T), thereby having a damping function.
[0064] The leaf spring (S) is provided between one outer surface of the lock holder (240) and the guide plate (230) to apply elastic pressure between the lock holder (240) and the guide plate (230). Since the user rotates the table (T) only by a certain angle in the up and down directions, the lock holder (240) is stopped by the elastic pressure of the leaf spring (S) within the range of up and down movement, thereby having the function of adjusting the up and down rotation angle of the table (T) by the leaf spring (S). (See FIG. 15)
[0065] If we examine the operational relationships of the operation linkage table as described above,
[0066] When the user rotates the table (T) in the up and down directions, the lock holder (240) linked with the operating link (L) descends, and the tip of the ball plunger (250) provided at the bottom of the lock holder (240) is inserted into the insertion groove (212) of the main holder (210), thereby fixing the table (T) in the rotated position.
[0067] At this time, if the user rotates the plate (P) in the left and right directions around the main holder (210) for a certain distance and then rotates the table (T) in the up and down directions, the table (T) can be fixed in a state forming a certain angle in the left and right directions and in the up and down directions.
[0068] The present invention, as described above, has the combined effects of enabling the table to be unfolded without separate operation and adjusted to the user's body type, locking at the corresponding position after unfolding is complete, enhancing usability through the action of a damping structure linked to the table operation motion, increasing design convenience by minimizing product configuration and application space through the application of an initial / final locking structure and modularization, and minimizing design space through a structure that integrates into a single module.
