2. The packaging workbench as claimed in claim 1, wherein the elastic hinge includes a first flat portion, a second flat portion, and the elastic body, the first flat portion being screwed to the first lower dividing frame, the second flat portion being screwed to the rotating rod, and the elastic body being disposed between the first flat portion and the second flat portion, wherein the elastic body applies a spring force to the first flat portion and the second flat portion to maintain the angle formed between one surface of the first flat portion and one surface of the second flat portion at 180 degrees, thereby maintaining the auxiliary table in a state pulled out from the lower surface of the top plate, wherein when an external force is applied to the auxiliary table and the angle formed between the surface of the first flat portion and the surface of the second flat portion is less than 180 degrees, the elastic body applies a spring force to restore the angle to 180 degrees, thereby automatically pulling the auxiliary table out from the lower surface of the top plate.

3. The packaging workbench of claim 2, wherein the rotating rod includes a first surface and a second surface, the first surface having a first groove engraved along its length, the second surface having a second groove engraved along its length and intersecting the first surface, and the packaging workbench further includes: A first support portion is disposed on the lower surface of the auxiliary top plate and includes a third surface on which a first protrusion is formed in a direction intersecting the lower surface of the auxiliary top plate; a second support portion is disposed on the lower surface of the auxiliary top plate and extends in a direction intersecting the direction of extension of the first support portion and includes a fourth surface on which a second protrusion is formed in a direction intersecting the lower surface of the auxiliary top plate; a first support rod is configured to be coupled to the first groove and the first protrusion and to support the auxiliary top plate from the rotating rod; and a second support rod is configured to be coupled to the second groove and the second protrusion and to support the auxiliary top plate from the rotating rod.

4. The packaging workbench as requested in item 2, wherein the aforementioned auxiliary top plate is fan-shaped.

5. The packaging workbench as claimed in claim 1, wherein the aforementioned first packaging workbench further includes: A plurality of pillars, which are erected along the corners of the top plate and the support plate in the second direction; a second lower dividing frame, which is disposed between the top plate and the support plate; a door, which is rotatably hinged to one of the plurality of pillars; a braking part, which is configured to be disposed at the lower end of the door and selectively contact the support plate as the door rotates; and a locking part, which is configured to be disposed on the side of the door and selectively connected to the second lower dividing frame.

6. The packaging workbench as requested in item 5, wherein a gap is formed between the aforementioned door and the aforementioned top plate.

7. The packaging workbench of claim 1 further includes a connector that is fixedly connected to the storage section and the first packaging table to combine the storage section and the first packaging table with each other.

8. The packaging workbench of claim 1, comprising a plurality of dividing frames arranged along the third direction on the uppermost horizontal support of the plurality of horizontal support platforms, wherein the spacing between adjacent pairs of dividing frames is different from each other.

9. The packaging workbench of claim 1, wherein the upper surface of the top plate is on the same plane as the upper surface of the lowest horizontal support of the plurality of horizontal support platforms.

10. The packaging workbench of claim 1, wherein the length of the pair of vertical frames in the second direction is in the range of 1.6 m to 2.0 m.

11. A packaging system comprising: A packaging workbench includes a packaging table providing space for workers to perform packaging operations; a first conveyor disposed on one side of the packaging workbench, conveying packing bags for the packaging operations in a first direction toward the packaging workbench; and a second conveyor disposed on the same side of the packaging workbench below the first conveyor, conveying packing bags that have completed the packaging operations from the packaging workbench; and the packaging workbench includes: a top plate providing space for packing bags to be placed for the packaging operations; a support plate disposed closer to the ground than the top plate and disposed facing the top plate in a second direction intersecting the first direction; a lower dividing frame connecting the top plate and the support plate; and an auxiliary table rotatably coupled to the lower dividing frame and selectively held in a state retracted below the lower surface of the top plate or pulled out from the lower surface of the top plate; wherein the auxiliary table includes: A rotating rod is configured to rotate about the lower dividing frame; an auxiliary top plate is configured to rotate integrally with the rotating rod; and an elastic hinge is configured to be screwed to the lower dividing frame and the rotating rod so that the rotating rod can rotate about the lower dividing frame. The elastic hinge includes an elastic body, and the elastic body applies a spring force to keep the auxiliary platform in a state pulled out from the lower surface of the top plate. When an external force is applied to the auxiliary platform, the auxiliary platform rotates against the spring force of the elastic body and is housed below the lower surface of the top plate. When the external force is removed, the auxiliary platform is automatically pulled out from the lower surface of the top plate by the spring force of the elastic body.

12. The packaging system of claim 11, wherein the packaging workbench further includes a storage section configured to store auxiliary materials, the storage section comprising: A pair of vertical frames, which are equally arranged to stand on the ground in the second direction and face each other in a third direction that intersects the first and second directions; and a plurality of horizontal support platforms, which are combined with the pair of vertical frames and arranged in multiple layers along the second direction; and the upper surface of the top plate and the upper surface of the lowermost horizontal support platform among the plurality of horizontal support platforms have the same plane.

13. The packaging system of claim 11, wherein the auxiliary platform is positioned on the side near the second conveyor with reference to the center of the top plate in a third direction intersecting the first and second directions.

14.
