Correspondingly, a locking platform is set in the first hole and the second hole respectively, which can make the first locking plate and the second locking plate lock into it.

[0012] The locking mechanism consists of a first lock and a second lock, which are located on the top surface of the base plate and respectively at positions corresponding to the upper and lower positions of the first lock latch plate and the second lock latch plate. The first lock and the second lock each include a latching handle and a locking handle.

[0013] A threaded hole is provided in the center of the top surface of the base plate, which allows the bottom end of the decorative rod to be screwed and fixed therein. The decorative rod is a rod that extends upward and is in the form of a straight line, a curved arc, or a spiral. A hook is provided at the top of the decorative rod for hanging lamps, ornaments, or wind chimes.

[0014] The tabletop has handle holes on its sides for easy hand gripping.

[0015] The folding support legs are at least three spaced apart. Each folding support leg includes a leg seat mounted on the bottom surface of the table and a hinge shaft that can hinge the upper end of the folding support leg to the leg seat. The folding support leg is divided into an upper leg and a lower leg. The lower leg is inserted into the upper leg. Between the lower end of the upper leg and the upper end of the lower leg, there is an elastic ball that is fixed when the lower leg is pulled out from the upper leg to the limit position.

[0016] The leg base is a vertically arranged tall rectangular tube with one side and bottom open. The upper leg is folded towards the table or bent and pulled out from the open side towards the table.

[0017] A locking plate is provided on the opening at the bottom end of the leg seat to prevent the folding support leg from being accidentally bent and pulled out when it is retracted to the folded position.

[0018] This utility model relates to a modular folding table that combines a small table and a stool that can be folded and used independently. When traveling, the table and stool can be folded up separately and then connected together using a snap-fit ​​structure to create a beautiful, compact, and portable item. To use, simply unlock the simple snap-fit ​​connection to unfold the table and stool. It can be used as a small table for placing a laptop or as a small stool for relaxation.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] As shown in Figures 1-10, the modular folding table 8 of this utility model includes a small table (hereinafter referred to as folding table 1) and a small stool (hereinafter referred to as folding stool 7) that can be folded separately. When not in use, the supporting legs of the small table are folded onto the bottom surface of the tabletop 11, and the small stool is folded together by means of a quick-release connection structure set between the bottom surface of the tabletop 11 and the seat 71 of the small stool, so as to form the compact and portable modular folding table 8 of this utility model.

[0031] 1. Folding table

[0032] As shown in Figures 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10, the table is composed of a tabletop 11 and multiple foldable support legs 5 disposed on the bottom surface of the tabletop 11. The tabletop 11 is preferably circular, and the foldable support legs 5 are preferably four in number.

[0033] 1) Tabletop 11

[0034] The tabletop 11 has a circular central hole 12 that passes through the tabletop 11. The inner wall of the central hole 12 is provided with a plurality of card plates (not shown in the figure) extending toward the center of the hole at intervals. Preferably, there are four card plates. A gap 262 larger than the arc length of the card plate is left between two adjacent card plates.

[0035] A circular base plate 2 is installed in the central hole 12. The bottom surface of the base plate 2 is provided with a downwardly extending circular sleeve 26. The diameter of the sleeve 26 is smaller than the diameter of the base plate 2. The bottom periphery of the sleeve 26 is provided with outwardly extending fastening plates 261, the number of which is the same as the number of the clamping plates. The base plate 2 is assembled into the central hole 12 by aligning the fastening plates 261 with the notch gap 262. The fastening plates 261 can be locked onto the clamping plates by rotating the base plate 2 counterclockwise or clockwise (after locking, they can be further tightened by screws). In this way, the base plate 2 is fixed in the center of the tabletop 11.

[0036] On the bottom surface of the base plate 2, in the area inside the surrounding tube 26, there is a locking structure that can suspend and fix the folding stool 7 to the table 11.

[0037] The locking structure comprises two parts: a locking mechanism on the top surface of the base plate 2 and a movable snap-fit ​​plate on the bottom surface of the base plate 2.

[0038] The locking mechanism includes a first lock 21 and a second lock 22 disposed on the top surface of the base plate 2. The first lock 21 and the second lock 22 respectively include a locking handle 23 and a locking handle 24. The first lock 21 and the second lock 22 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the base plate 2. The first lock 21 and the second lock 22 have the same structure. The locking handle 23 and the locking handle 24 are preferably rectangular handles that can slide back and forth along a straight line. A notch 25 is provided on the long side of the locking handle 23. The locking handle 24 is perpendicular to the locking handle 23. When locking, the locking handle 23 is first slid to the locked position, and then the locking handle 24 is slid towards the locking handle 23 and the front end of the locking handle 24 is engaged in the notch 25 to lock the locking handle 23. When unlocking, the operation is reversed.

[0039] The snap-fit ​​plate, controlled by the locking mechanism, has a crescent-shaped positioning plate 3 and a circular positioning cylinder plate 4 respectively on the bottom surface of the base plate 2. The positions of the positioning plate 3 and the positioning cylinder plate 4 correspond vertically to the first lock 21 and the second lock 22 respectively.

[0040] There are two locking plates: a first-lock locking plate 31 corresponding to the first lock 21 and a second-lock locking plate 41 corresponding to the second lock 22. The first-lock locking plate 31 is mounted on the positioning enclosure 3 and fixedly connected to the corresponding locking handle 23. The second-lock locking plate 41 is mounted on the positioning cylinder plate 4 and fixedly connected to the corresponding locking handle 23. Slide rails are provided in the positioning enclosure 3 and the positioning cylinder plate 4 to allow the first-lock locking plate and the second-lock locking plate 41 to move towards or away from each other.

[0041] The tabletop 11 has handle holes 13 on its side that are convenient for holding.

[0042] 2) Folding support leg 5

[0043] The folding support legs 5 are at least three, preferably four, spaced apart. Each folding support leg 5 includes a leg seat 53 mounted on the side of the bottom surface of the table 11 and a hinge shaft (not shown in the figure) that can hinge the upper end of the folding support leg 5 to the leg seat 53.

[0044] The leg seat 53 is a vertically arranged tall rectangular tube with its upper end fixed to the bottom surface of the table 11. One side and the bottom surface of the leg seat 53 are open. The folding support leg 5 is divided into an upper leg 51 and a lower leg 52. The lower leg 52 is inserted into the upper leg 51 in a telescopic manner. Between the lower end of the upper leg 51 and the upper end of the lower leg 52, there is an elastic ball that is fixed when the lower leg 52 is pulled out of the upper leg 51 to the limit position.

[0045] The upper leg 51 is folded from the open side of the leg seat 53 toward the table 11 or bent and pulled out toward the table 11.

[0046] A locking plate 54 is provided on the opening at the bottom end of the leg seat 53 to prevent the folding support leg 5 from being accidentally bent and pulled out when it is retracted to the folded position.

[0047] In this design, the four folding support legs 5 and their corresponding leg seats 53 are arranged in pairs on both sides of the bottom surface of the table 11, which is symmetrical about the center of the table 11. In order to make the space occupied by the two folding support legs 5 on the same side smaller when they are retracted to the folded position, the hinge shafts on the two leg seats 53 on that side are set at different heights.

[0048] 2. Decorative rod 6

[0049] As shown in Figures 5, 7, and 10, as a further improvement to this solution, a threaded hole 61 is provided in the center of the top surface of the base plate 2, which allows the bottom end of the decorative rod 6 to be screwed and fixed therein. The decorative rod 6 is a rod that extends upward and is in the form of a straight line, a curved arc, or a spiral. A hook for hanging lamps, decorations, or wind chimes is provided at the top of the decorative rod 6.

[0050] The decorative rod 6 is preferably composed of two sections: a straight rod and a curved rod. The lower end of the straight rod has an external thread structure, and the upper end of the straight rod is a hollow tube. The lower end of the curved rod can be inserted into the hollow tube, and the upper end of the curved rod is a hook.

[0051] The bottom surface of the tabletop 11 is provided with a mounting position for installing the decorative rod 6.

[0052] 3. Folding stool 7

[0053] As shown in Figures 2, 4, 8, and 9, the folding stool 7 includes a seat 71 and stool legs 72. The seat 71 is preferably circular, and the stool legs 72 are retractable structures that extend into a frustum shape and retract into a column shape.

[0054] Two snap-fit ​​holes are provided on the top surface of the seat plate 71, which correspond to the positioning enclosure plate 3 and the positioning cylinder plate 4, respectively.

[0055] The two snap-fit ​​holes are a crescent-shaped first hole 73 and a circular second hole 74. The positioning plate 3 can be inserted into the first hole 73 and the positioning cylinder plate 4 can be inserted into the second hole 74.

[0056] Correspondingly, a locking platform (not shown in the figure) and a double locking platform (not shown in the figure) are respectively provided in the first hole 73 and the second hole 74. When the table 11 and the folding stool 7 are assembled together, the locking plate 31 on the positioning plate 3 is inserted into the first hole 73, and the double locking plate 41 on the positioning cylinder plate 4 is inserted into the second hole 74. At this time, if the locking handle 23 corresponding to the first lock 21 and the second lock 22 is moved to the locked position, the locking plate 31 and the double locking plate 41 will be locked into the locking platform and the double locking platform respectively, thereby fixing the folding stool 7 onto the folding table 1.
