Description
A table-type planer
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent applications filed on October 25, 2024, No. 202411507376.1, July 17, 2025, No. 202510993132.7, and August 25, 2025, No. 202511195515.6, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This application relates to an electric device, such as a table planer. Background Technology
[0003] One type of planer in the related technology has both indoor and outdoor usage scenarios. When using the planer, a workbench or stand is required for support to raise the planer to a suitable operating height, especially in indoor usage scenarios where the planer is fixed in a specific position by the workbench or stand.
[0004] When switching between different use scenarios for the planer, the workbench or support also needs to be moved. Since the planer and the workbench or support are separate units, the moving efficiency is low. In addition, the planer is quite heavy, weighing up to 30kg, requiring a certain amount of space to install. Furthermore, the planer needs to be equipped with a dust collection system during use, further reducing its mobility and making it inconvenient and unpleasant for users.
[0005] This section provides background information related to this application, which is not necessarily related to the technology. Summary of the Invention

[0081] Before explaining any implementation of this application in detail, it should be understood that this application is not limited to its application to the structural details and component arrangements set forth in the following description or shown in the above drawings.
[0082] In this application, the terms "comprising," "including," "having," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.
[0083] In this application, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this application generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "and / or" relationship.
[0084] In this application, the terms "connection," "combination," "coupling," and "installation" can refer to direct connection, combination, coupling, or installation, or indirect connection, combination, coupling, or installation. For example, a direct connection refers to two parts or components being connected together without the need for an intermediary, while an indirect connection refers to two parts or components each being connected to at least one intermediary, with the connection achieved through the intermediary. Furthermore, "connection" and "coupling" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections or couplings, but can also include electrical connections or couplings.
[0085] In this application, those skilled in the art will understand that relative terms (e.g., “about,” “approximately,” “basically,” etc.) used in conjunction with quantities or conditions are to include the values and have the meaning indicated by the context. For example, such relative terms include at least the degree of error associated with the measurement of a particular value, tolerances associated with the particular value due to manufacturing, assembly, use, etc. Such terms should also be considered as disclosing a range defined by the absolute values of the two endpoints. Relative terms may refer to a certain percentage (e.g., 1%, 5%, 10% or more) of the indicated value. Numerical values that do not use relative terms should also be disclosed as specific values with tolerances. Furthermore, “basically” when expressing relative angular relationships (e.g., substantially parallel, substantially perpendicular) may refer to a certain degree (e.g., 1 degree, 5 degrees, 10 degrees or more) added to or subtracted from the indicated angle.
[0086] In this application, those skilled in the art will understand that the function performed by a component can be performed by one component, multiple components, one part, or multiple parts. Similarly, the function performed by a part can also be performed by one part, one component, or a combination of multiple parts.
[0087] In this application, the directional terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "rear" are used to describe the orientation and positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, in the context, it should be understood that when an element is mentioned as being connected "upper" or "lower" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower," or indirectly connected through an intermediate element. It should also be understood that directional terms such as upper side, lower side, left side, right side, front side, and rear side not only represent positive orientation but can also be understood as lateral orientation. For example, "below" can include directly below, lower left, lower right, lower front, and lower rear.
[0088] This application discloses a table-type planer, as shown in Figures 1 to 9. The table-type planer includes a planer body 100, a power unit 210, a height adjustment unit 220, and an extension placement unit 200. The planer body 100 includes a planer housing 101, and a planing chamber 102 is formed inside the planer housing 101. The power unit 210 drives the planer body 100 to plan. The height adjustment unit 220 is disposed on the upper part of the planer body 100 to adjust the height of the planing chamber 102. The extension placement unit 200 is disposed on both sides of the planer body 100. Optionally, the extension placement unit 200 includes two extension plates 201 disposed on the planer body 100. The extension plates 201 are rotatably connected to the planer body and can be rotated to an extended position and a retracted position. The specific structures of the power unit 210 and the height adjustment unit 220 are related technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0089] Referring again to Figure 2, the table-type planer also includes a base 300, which is disposed at the lower part of the planer body 100 and configured to support the planer body 100. Optionally, the base 300 and the planer body 100 are integrally formed to constitute the table-type planer. Optionally, the base 300 and the planer body 100 are separately formed but fixedly connected to constitute the table-type planer. A plurality of mounting portions 310 are formed on the base 300. The table-type planer also includes a plurality of support legs 400, which are respectively installed in the plurality of mounting portions 310. Each support leg 400 is rotatable relative to the base 300, and at least one of the support legs 400 has a rotation angle greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 180°. It should be noted that when the table-type planer is moved to the work site, the multiple support legs 400 can rotate to the open state, thereby stably supporting the planer body 100 at a height that is convenient for the user to perform planing operations.
[0090] Compared to the separate table-type planers in related technologies that require separate transfer, the table-type planer provided in this application has integrated support legs 400. The integrated design of the support legs 400 and the base 300 allows the table-type planer to move together when changing usage scenarios, thereby improving mobility and reducing the labor intensity of the user. Furthermore, since the support legs 400 are rotatable relative to the base 300, they can be extended to support the base 300 or folded for storage or movement, thus improving the stability, storage convenience, and mobility of the table-type planer. In addition, directly adding the support legs 400 to the base 300 is more economical and helps reduce costs.
[0091] In some parallel embodiments, multiple support legs 400 are directly mounted on the base 300, that is, multiple support legs 400 are directly mounted on the entire table-type planer, and the support legs 400 are rotatable relative to the base 300.
[0092] Referring again to Figure 2, in one embodiment, the base 300 is generally square in shape. The base 300 can be a square panel. Four mounting portions 310 are provided, each located at one of the four corners of the base 300. Correspondingly, four support legs 400 are provided, each rotatably connected to one of the four mounting portions 310. Of course, in other embodiments, the base 300 can be adjusted to other shapes as needed, such as circular or elliptical. The number of mounting portions 310 and support legs 400 can be adjusted as needed, for example, three, five, or more.
[0093] The mounting portion 310 is part of the base 300. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 310 is a frame structure composed of multiple plates. Optionally, the mounting portion 310 includes a first baffle 311, a mounting plate, and a second baffle 314. The mounting plate is connected to or integrally formed with the base body of the base 300. The first baffle 311 and the second baffle 314 are disposed on both sides of the mounting plate, and the first baffle 311, the mounting plate, and the second baffle 314 form a U-shaped mounting groove. The support leg 400 is rotatably mounted in the mounting groove. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting portion 310 may only include the first baffle 311 and the mounting plate, or only include the first baffle 311.
[0094] To secure the support leg 400 to the mounting portion 310, referring to Figure 2, the table-type planer further includes a fixing member 500, which securely connects the support leg 400 and the mounting portion 310. In some embodiments, the support leg 400 rotates about the fixing member 500.
[0095] Optionally, the fixing member 500 is a fixed shaft. A first rotating shaft hole 313 is provided on the first baffle 311, a second rotating shaft hole is provided on the second baffle 314, and a third rotating shaft hole is provided radially through the support leg 400. The fixed shaft passes through the first rotating shaft hole 313, the second rotating shaft hole and the third rotating shaft hole, and the central axis of the fixed shaft is the rotation axis of the support leg 400.
[0096] To lock the support leg 400 after it rotates to the target angle, preventing further rotation, as shown in Figure 2, the table-type planer also includes a connector 600 connected to the support leg 400. The first baffle 311 has at least one mating part 312 that engages with the connector 600. When the connector 600 engages with the mating part 312, the support leg 400 is fixed in the mounting part 310, i.e., the support leg 400 is locked. When the connector 600 moves away from the mating part 312, the support leg 400 can rotate relative to the base 300, at which point the support leg 400 is unlocked. Applying force to the support leg 400 adjusts its angle relative to the mounting part 310. Optionally, the connector 600 is a pin, and the mating part 312 is a socket.
[0097] It should be noted that the number of mating parts 312 is correspondingly set according to the number of positions that the support leg 400 needs to be locked. In some embodiments, the support leg 400 has a storage position at the bottom of the base 300 and a support position supporting the base 300. When the support leg 400 is in the storage position or the support position, the connector 600 engages with the mating part 312. At this time, as shown by the mounting part 310 on the left in FIG5 and the two mounting parts 310 in FIG6, there are two mating parts 312. When the connector 600 engages with one of the mating parts 312, the support leg 400 is locked in the storage position. When the connector 600 engages with the other mating part 312, the support leg 400 is locked in the support position.
[0098] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2, the support leg 400 in the storage position is parallel to the base body of the base 300 and rotates to be stored directly below the base body; the support leg 400 in the support position is perpendicular to or tilted outwards from the base body of the base 300. If the angle between the support leg 400 in the storage position and the base body of the base 300 is defined as 0°, then the angle between the support leg 400 in the support position and the base body of the base 300 is not less than 90°.
[0099] In other embodiments, the support leg 400, in addition to having a storage position at the bottom of the base 300 and a support position supporting the base 300, also has a handle position away from the base 300. In this case, the user can easily apply force to the entire table-type planer by holding the support leg 400 rotated to the handle position, causing the table-type planer to move. At this time, as shown in the mounting part 310 on the right side of Figure 5, three mating parts 312 are provided. When the connector 600 is engaged with the first mating part 312, the support leg 400 is locked in the storage position. When the connector 600 is engaged with the second mating part 312, the support leg 400 is locked in the support position. When the connector 600 is engaged with the third mating part 312, the support leg 400 is locked in the handle position.
[0100] In one embodiment, continuing to refer to Figures 2 and 3, the support leg 400 in the handle position is arranged parallel to the base body of the base 300 and rotated outside the base body. If the angle between the support leg 400 in the storage position and the base body of the base 300 is defined as 0°, then the angle between the support leg 400 in the handle position and the base body of the base 300 is 180°.
[0101] In some embodiments, when at least one of the plurality of support legs 400 is rotated to the handle position, the horizontal projections of the support leg 400 in the handle position and the base 300 in the horizontal plane do not overlap. This arrangement allows the user to pull the table-type planer with less effort, similar to pulling a "rolling suitcase".
[0102] By adjusting the angles of the multiple support legs 400, the table planer can be adjusted to different states. In some embodiments, the table planer has three states: a supported state (as shown in Figure 4), a stored state (as shown in Figure 1), and a transport state (as shown in Figures 2 and 3). In some embodiments, when the table planer is in the supported state, all support legs 400 rotate to the supported position; when the table planer is in the stored state, all support legs 400 rotate to the storage position; when the table planer is in the transport state, at least one support leg 400 rotates to the handle position, and the other support legs 400 can rotate to the storage position or other positions that do not affect the movement of the table planer. The number of support legs 400 in the handle position can be set to one or more as needed.
[0103] It should be further explained that, depending on the function of the support leg 400, the number of mating parts 312 provided on different mounting parts 310 can be the same or different. For example, when some support legs 400 need to be used as handles, that is, when the support leg 400 needs to switch between storage position, support position and handle position, then the number of mating parts 312 on the mounting part 310 can be three; while for support legs 400 that do not need to be used as handles and only need to switch between storage position and support position, then the number of mating parts 312 on the mounting part 310 can be only two or three.
[0104] Of course, depending on the function of the support leg 400, the maximum rotation angle of different support legs 400 can also be different. For example, when some support legs 400 need to be used as handles, that is, when the support leg 400 needs to switch between storage position, support position and handle position, the rotation angle of the support leg 400 is 0° to 180°; while the support leg 400 that does not need to be used as a handle and only needs to switch between storage position and support position has a rotation angle of 0° to α°, where α° is greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°, for example, it can be 120°. In this state, a limiting plate can be set in the mounting groove to limit the rotation angle of the support leg 400, that is, when the support leg 400 rotates to α° and abuts against the limiting plate.
[0105] In some embodiments, the connector 600 can be unlocked from the mating part 312 by manually pressing the connector 600. Optionally, the connector 600 is connected to the support leg 400 by an elastic member, which provides elastic force to the connector 600, allowing the connector 600 to stably engage with the mating part 312. When unlocking is required, force is applied to the connector 600, and the connector 600 compresses the elastic member, thus disengaging from the mating part 312. Optionally, the elastic member is a spring.
[0106] In some parallel embodiments, the connection 600 and the mating part 312 can be unlocked by manual manipulation. Optionally, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, the table-type planer also includes an upper unlocking mechanism 800. The upper unlocking mechanism 800 includes an upper wrench 801, a first pull rope 802, a first guide 803, and a second guide 804. The first guide 803 has a first guide hole, and the second guide 804 has a second guide hole. The first guide hole of the first guide 803 is coaxially arranged with the fixing member 500, and the second guide hole of the second guide 804 is coaxially arranged with the connection 600. The upper wrench 801 is rotatably mounted on the base 300. One end of the first pull rope 802 is connected to the upper wrench 801, and the other end passes through the first guide hole and the second guide hole in sequence and is connected to the connection 600. Rotation of the upper wrench 801 can drive the connection 600 away from the mating part 312.
[0107] When it is necessary to unlock the connector 600 from the mating part 312, the user can gently lift the table-type planer and turn the upper wrench 801 with one hand, causing the upper wrench 801 to rotate around the included rotation axis. The rotating upper wrench 801 pulls the connector 600 away from the mating part 312 through the first pull rope 802. Afterwards, the user can gently push the support leg 400 to make the support leg 400 rotate relative to the base 300. The first guide member 803 and the second guide member 804 can guide the movement of the first pull rope 802. Since the first guide hole of the first guide member 803 is coaxially set with the fixing member 500, the length of the first pull rope 802 will not change no matter how the support leg 400 rotates, so that the setting of the first pull rope 802 will not affect the rotation of the support leg 400.
[0108] Optionally, the first pull rope 802 is a steel wire rope, and the first guide 803 and the second guide 804 are both plastic parts.
[0109] In some parallel embodiments, as shown in FIG12, the table-type planer also includes a lower unlocking mechanism 900. The lower unlocking mechanism 900 includes a lower pedal 901, a second pull rope 902, and a third guide member 903. The third guide hole of the third guide member 903 is coaxially arranged with the connector 600. The lower pedal 901 is rotatably mounted on the support leg 400. One end of the second pull rope 902 is connected to the lower pedal 901, and the other end extends upward and passes through the third guide hole and the connector 600. The rotation of the lower pedal 901 can drive the connector 600 away from the mating part 312.
[0110] When it is necessary to unlock the connector 600 from the mating part 312, the user can gently lift the table-type planer and lightly step on the pedal 901, causing the lower pedal 901 to rotate around the included rotation axis. The rotating lower pedal 901 pulls the connector 600 away from the mating part 312 via the second pull rope 902. Afterwards, the user can gently push the support leg 400 to make the support leg 400 rotate relative to the base 300. The third guide member 903 is provided to guide the movement of the second pull rope 902.
[0111] Optionally, the second pull rope 902 is a steel wire rope, and the third guide 903 is a plastic part.
[0112] It should be noted that for one support leg 400 of the table-type planer, only the upper unlocking mechanism 800 or only the lower unlocking mechanism 900 can be set, or both the upper unlocking mechanism 800 and the lower unlocking mechanism 900 can be set at the same time.
[0113] In some embodiments, the table-type planer further includes a toggle unlocking mechanism 910, which includes a housing 911, a toggle 912, a toggle shaft 913, a fourth guide member 914, an elastic member 915, and a snap-fit member 916. The housing 911 is provided with a shaft hole 9111 that matches the toggle shaft 913, and is configured to fix the toggle shaft 913 inside the housing 911.
[0114] As shown in Figures 13 to 17, the toggle switch 912 is sleeved on the toggle shaft 913, and the toggle switch 912 can be rotated around the toggle shaft 913. The fourth guide member 914 includes a guide surface 9141 and a guide shaft 9142. One side of the guide surface 9141 contacts the toggle switch 912, and the other side of the guide surface 9141 contacts the guide shaft 9142. Optionally, the guide surface 9141 and the guide shaft 9142 are integrally formed. Optionally, the guide surface 9141 and the guide shaft 9142 are separately provided, and the guide surface 9141 and the guide shaft 9142 are fixedly connected.
[0115] The snap-fit element 916 is sleeved on the guide shaft 9142 and can rotate around the guide shaft 9142. Optionally, the guide shaft 9142 can be a stepped shaft, specifically, the area of the end of the guide shaft 9142 near the guide surface 9141 is larger than the area of the end of the guide shaft 9142 away from the guide surface 9141. Therefore, when the snap-fit element 916 is sleeved on the guide shaft 9142, it can engage with the steps at the two points of area change on the guide shaft 9142, preventing the snap-fit element 916 from slipping off the guide shaft 9142 onto the guide surface 9141. An elastic element 915 is also sleeved on the guide shaft 9142, specifically above the snap-fit element 916 on the guide shaft 9142. The elastic element 915 can be a spring.
[0116] As shown in Figure 13, the table-type planer includes a first fixing member 501, a second fixing member 502, and a third fixing member 503. The first fixing member 501 and the second fixing member 502 are configured to fix the first baffle 311 to the base 300. The third fixing member 503 is configured to fixally connect the support leg 400 and the mounting part 310, with the support leg 400 rotating around the third fixing member 503. The third fixing member 503 is also configured to fixally connect the toggle unlocking mechanism 910 and the mounting part 310, with the toggle unlocking mechanism 910 rotating around the third fixing member 503. The toggle unlocking mechanism 910 is connected to the support leg 400; that is, the rotation of the support leg 400 drives the toggle unlocking mechanism 910 to rotate synchronously.
[0117] As shown in Figure 14, a connecting hole 917 matching the support leg 400 is provided on the toggle unlocking mechanism 910, and the support leg 400 is connected to the toggle unlocking mechanism 910 through the connecting hole 917. A fixing member is also provided on one side of the connecting hole 917 to secure the support leg 400 inside the connecting hole 917, so that the toggle unlocking mechanism 910 and the support leg 400 are securely connected. The fixing member can be a screw or any other component that can provide a fixing function; this application is not limited to this. Furthermore, the toggle unlocking mechanism 910 and the support leg 400 can be fixedly connected in other ways; this application is not limited to these methods either.
[0118] The mounting part 310, which contacts the support leg 400 and the toggle unlocking mechanism 910, has at least one fixing hole 315 and a fixing groove 316 communicating with the fixing hole 315. The fixing groove 316 surrounds the third fixing member 503, and the fixing hole 315 is located on the side of the fixing groove 316 away from the third fixing member 503. The fixing hole 315 matches the snap-fit member 916. When the snap-fit member 916 is snapped into the fixing hole 315, the toggle unlocking mechanism 910 is fixed and remains stationary, and the support leg 400 connected to it is also fixed and remains stationary. When the snap-fit member 916 is located in the fixing groove 316, the snap-fit member 916 can slide in the fixing groove 316, at which time the support leg 400 and the toggle unlocking mechanism 910 can rotate. That is, the setting position of the fixing hole 315 determines the fixed position of the support leg 400. Optionally, the number of fixing holes 315 can be three, as shown in Figure 17. Furthermore, the number of fixing holes 315 can be other numbers, and the location of fixing holes 315 can be other locations; this application does not limit this.
[0119] Optionally, the fixing groove 316 can be arranged in a semi-circle around the third fixing member 503. Optionally, the fixing groove 316 can be arranged in a sector shape around the third fixing member 503 with a center of 135°. Optionally, the fixing groove 316 can be arranged in a sector shape around the third fixing member 503 with a center of 90°. In addition, the fixing groove 316 can also be arranged in a sector shape around the third fixing member 503 with other angles as centers, which is not limited in this application. The arrangement of the fixing groove 316 determines the rotation angle range of the support leg 400.
[0120] The specific implementation process for keeping the support leg 400 fixed and rotating is as follows:
[0121] As shown in Figures 16 and 17, the toggle switch 912 includes a toggle surface 9121, which is parallel to the guide surface 9141 when the toggle switch 912 is not turned. When the latching member 916 slides in the fixing groove 316 close to the fixing hole 315, the elastic member 915 applies pressure to the latching member 916, causing the latching member 916 to slide into the fixing hole 315. Based on the pressure of the elastic member 915, the latching member 916 is fixed in the fixing hole 315, thereby fixing the support leg 400 in place. This allows the support leg 400 to be locked in a storage position, a support position, or a handle position. When the position of the support leg 400 needs to be changed, the toggle switch 912 can be turned and rotated, thereby driving the latching member 916 to slide in the fixing groove 316. Specifically, when the toggle switch 912 is turned, the toggle surface 9121 and the guide surface 9141 are no longer parallel. The toggle surface 9121 presses against the guide surface 9141, causing the fourth guide member 914 to compress away from the fixing hole 315. The snap-fit member 916 located on the fourth guide member 914 is driven away from the fixing hole 315 and enters the fixing groove 316. Thus, the snap-fit member 916 can slide in the fixing groove 316, and the support leg 400 can rotate. Because the fourth guide member 914 is compressed away from the fixing hole 315 at this time, the elastic member 915 is compressed. After the toggle switch 912 is released, the snap-fit member 916 can slide back into the fixing hole 315 after sliding to a position close to the fixing hole 315.
[0122] When the position of the support leg 400 needs to be changed, the user can gently lift the table planer and, by manually turning the lever 912, gently push the support leg 400 to rotate it relative to the base 300. This is simple and requires minimal effort. To improve the mobility of the table planer in transport mode, in some embodiments, continuing to refer to Figures 2 and 3, the table planer also includes at least two rollers 700, which are mounted on the same side of the base 300. The rollers 700 ensure that the friction between the table planer and the ground is rolling friction, which helps reduce frictional resistance and improve mobility. In some embodiments, when the support leg 400, which is on the same side as the at least two rollers 700, is in the storage position, the rotation of the rollers 700 causes the table planer to move.
[0123] The number of rollers 700 can be set to two, three, or more as needed. In some embodiments, if there are four support legs 400, when the table-type planer is in transport mode, two rollers 700 and the support legs 400 in the handle position are located on opposite sides of the base 300. When the support legs 400 in the handle position extend upwards, the rollers 700 are in contact with the ground. The user can drive the rollers 700 to roll on the ground by pulling the support legs 400 in the handle position. In one embodiment, there are four rollers 700, which are located at the four corners of the base 300. All four support legs 400 can rotate to the handle position, and the user can choose any support leg 400 as a handle as needed, making it more convenient to use.
[0124] In some embodiments, a handle 103 is provided at the top edge of the planer body 100, allowing the user to lift the entire table planer by gripping the handle 103. When the planer body 100 is in a horizontal state, i.e., when the support legs 400 are in the supported position, the handle 103 and the rollers 700 are spaced apart in the vertical direction. When the table planer is in an upright state, the handle 103 and the rollers 700 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction. Optionally, the distance between the outermost edge of the handle 103 and the side wall of the planer body 100 is equal to the distance between the outermost edge of the rollers 700 and the same side wall, thus ensuring that the table planer can be placed stably when in an upright state.
[0125] To ensure a good user experience for users of different heights, in some embodiments, the support leg 400 is a telescopic support leg. Optionally, the support leg 400 includes multiple support rods, with multiple locking holes spaced apart at the ends of the support rods along the axial direction. Adjacent support rods are connected by locking members, and the length of the entire support leg 400 can be adjusted by selecting different locking holes to install the locking members. Optionally, as shown in Figure 13, an operating member 410 can also be provided between two adjacent support rods. When the operating member 410 is in the locked state, the two adjacent support rods are fixed, and the length of the support leg 400 cannot be adjusted. When the operating member 410 is in the unlocked state, the two adjacent support rods can slide relative to each other to adjust the length of the support leg 400. Of course, in other embodiments, the support leg 400 can also be made telescopic.
[0126] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 18A to 19B, the support leg 400 includes a first support rod 402 and a second support rod 403, with the second support rod 403 located inside the first support rod 402. The support leg 400 is provided with a first adjusting member 420 and a second adjusting member 430 for adjusting the length of the support leg 400. The first adjusting member 420 includes a first protrusion 421 and a second protrusion 422. The first protrusion 421 is disposed on the first support rod 402 and protrudes towards the second support rod 403. The second protrusion 422 is disposed on the second support rod 403 and protrudes towards the first support rod 402. The second adjusting member 430 includes a limiting block 431, a limiting block rotation shaft 432, and an elastic member 433, all disposed on the second support rod 403. The elastic member 433 abuts against the limiting block 431, and the elastic member 433 can push the limiting block 431 to rotate around the limiting block rotation shaft 432. The limiting block 431 also includes a limiting protrusion 4311, which can abut against the first support rod 402.
[0127] As shown in Figures 18A and 18B, when the support leg 400 is not stretched to the locked position, the first protrusion 421 and the second protrusion 422 do not contact each other, the limiting protrusion 4311 is located inside the first support rod 402, the first support rod 402 abuts against the limiting block 431, and the limiting block 431 compresses the elastic element 433.
[0128] As shown in Figures 19A and 19B, when the support leg 400 is in the stretched and locked state, to ensure the stability of the support leg 400 after being stretched, the second support rod 403 moves to a certain position outside the first support rod 402 and then locks. At this time, the second protrusion 422 abuts against the first protrusion 421, and the first protrusion 421 prevents the second protrusion 422 from continuing to move outside the first support rod 402, that is, the first protrusion 421 prevents the second support rod 403 from continuing to move outside the first support rod 402. At the same time, the limiting block 431 is no longer abutted by the first support rod 402, and the elastic element 433 pushes the limiting block 431 outwards towards the second support rod 403. The limiting block 431 rotates around the limiting block rotation axis 432, causing the limiting protrusion 4311 to abut against the first support rod 402. The limiting protrusion 4311 prevents the second support rod 403 from moving inwards towards the first support rod 402. Therefore, by preventing the second support rod 403 from moving outward from the first support rod 402 through the first adjusting member 420, and preventing the second support rod 403 from moving inward from the first support rod 402 through the second adjusting member 430, the support leg 400 is in a locked state after being stretched and will not extend or retract, so that the support leg 400 can stably support the planer body 100.
[0129] When it is necessary to retract the second support rod 403 into the first support rod 402 so that the support leg 400 is in a retracted state, press the lower limit protrusion 4311 along the direction inside the second support rod 403 and push the second support rod 403 towards the direction inside the first support rod 402 so that the support leg 400 retracts.
[0130] In some embodiments, an anti-slip element 401 is provided on the side of the support leg 400 away from the mounting portion 310. The anti-slip element 401 enables the table-type planer to be stably supported. Optionally, the anti-slip element 401 is a silicone sleeve fitted onto the support leg 400.
[0131] As shown in Figures 20 to 28, this application discloses a retractable support 104, which can be configured as a retractable workbench to support a workbench surface 10 configured to place workpieces. In some embodiments, the retractable support 104 includes a base 110, a support rod 120, a locking member 140, and a biasing element 150. The base 110 is configured to be mounted on a connecting assembly 230 of the retractable workbench. The support rod 120 forms or is connected to a rotating seat 130. The distal end of the support rod 120 can touch the ground, and the rotating seat 130 is disposed at the proximal end of the support rod 120. The rotating seat 130 is rotatably connected to the base 110, allowing the support rod 120 to switch between a supported state with its distal end touching the ground and a retracted state with its distal end off the ground. The locking member 140 is operated to have a locked position and an unlocked position. In the unlocked position, the support rod 120 can rotate relative to the base 110; in the locked position, the support rod 120 and the base 110 remain fixed in position. The locking member 140 has an operable end, defined as the operating end, which allows the locking member 140 to switch between the locked and unlocked positions by operating the operating end. A biasing element 150 is disposed at the operable end of the locking member 140. When the locking member 140 is in the unlocked position, the biasing element 150 acts on the locking member 140 to bias the locking member 140 toward the locked position.
[0132] When the support rod 120 is initially in the supported state (as shown in Figure 20), the locking member 140 is in the locked position. If it is necessary to switch the state of the support rod 120 to the retracted state (as shown in Figures 21 and 22), the operating end of the locking member 140 needs to be operated to switch the locking member 140 from the locked position to the unlocked position. After the locking member 140 moves to the unlocked position, a rotational torque is applied to the support rod 120, which will cause the support rod 120 to rotate relative to the base 110. After the support rod 120 rotates to the position, under the action of the biasing element 150, the locking member 140 can re-enter the locked position, so that the support rod 120 is locked in the retracted state. It should be noted that when the support rod 120 is in the retracted state, the retractable workbench and the table-type tool system using the retractable workbench have two retraction angles. It can be retracted horizontally at the angle shown in Figure 21, or vertically at the angle shown in Figure 22. When retracting vertically, the support part 116 on the base 110 supports the ground to improve the stability of the retraction.
[0133] The retractable workbench provided in this application has a support rod 120 that can rotate relative to the base 110. The locking element 140, when in the locked position, locks the support rod 120; when in the unlocked position, it allows the support rod 120 to switch states. The entire retractable workbench has a compact structure, provides good support stability for the workbench surface 10, and offers good storage stability. The retractable workbench provided in this application further enhances this by placing the biasing element 150 at the end of the locking element 140 furthest from the operable end. This not only makes operating the locking element 140 more convenient but also simplifies the structure at the operable end, resulting in a simpler, more compact, and more stable structure at that end.
[0134] The base 110 has a split structure to facilitate the installation of the base 110 and the rotating base 130. In some embodiments, the base 110 includes a first half-base 111 and a second half-base 112 that are separately arranged. The first half-base 111 and the second half-base 112 are spliced together to form a complete base 110. The splicing direction can be front-to-back, left-to-right, or top-to-bottom.
[0135] As shown in FIG25, the rotating base 130 includes a pivot mounting portion 132 configured to be rotatably connected to the base 110. In some embodiments, a first pivot portion 114 is formed on the inner side of the first half-base 111, and a second pivot portion is formed on the inner side of the second half-base 112. After the first half-base 111 and the second half-base 112 are joined together, a mounting groove for accommodating the pivot mounting portion 132 of the rotating base 130 is formed between the first pivot portion 114 and the second pivot portion. The rotating base 130 and the base 110 are rotatably connected by a pivot 160. In some embodiments, the pivot mounting portion 132 is provided with a first pivot hole, the first half-base 111 is provided with a second pivot hole, and the second half-base 112 is provided with a third pivot hole. The pivot 160 passes through the first pivot hole, the second pivot hole, and the third pivot hole, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the rotating base 130 and the base 110.
[0136] The rotating base 130 also includes a plug-in portion 134, on which a plug-in hole is formed. The top end of the support rod 120 is plugged into the plug-in hole. Optionally, the support rod 120 is a cylindrical rod, and the plug-in hole is a circular hole. Optionally, the plug-in portion 134 has a slot along the plug-in direction, and connecting pieces are provided at both ends of the slot. Locking elements 136 are provided at the two connecting pieces, and the locking elements 136 can be screws. After removing the locking elements 136, since the plug-in portion 134 has a slot along the plug-in direction, the top end of the support rod 120 can be easily inserted into the plug-in portion 134. After the support rod 120 is inserted into place, the locking elements 136 are installed on the two connecting pieces to adjust the width of the slot to reduce it, thereby stably fixing the top end of the support rod 120 in the plug-in portion 134.
[0137] To facilitate the insertion of the support rod 120 and the plug-in portion 134, the plug-in portion 134 is at least partially exposed outside the base 110. That is, the rotating shaft mounting portion 132 of the rotating seat 130 is located inside the base 110, and the plug-in portion 134 is at least partially exposed outside the base 110. The rotating seat 130 also includes a slide portion 133 located between the plug-in portion 134 and the rotating shaft mounting portion 132. A mounting hole is provided at the bottom end of the base 110, and either the slide portion 133 or the plug-in portion 134 is placed within the mounting hole. In some embodiments, a first half-hole is formed at the bottom end of the first half-base 111, and a second half-hole is formed at the bottom end of the second half-base 112. The first half-hole and the second half-hole are joined together to form a mounting hole.
[0138] Referring again to Figure 25, the rotating base 130 has a telescopic slide 131 formed on the slide portion 133. The locking member 140 can move within the telescopic slide 131 to disengage or enter the locked position. The telescopic slide 131 helps to improve the movement accuracy of the locking member 140, allowing the support rod 120 to precisely switch between the supported state and the retracted state.
[0139] A limiting groove 113 is formed on the base 110, which is configured to accommodate and limit the locking member 140. In some embodiments, a limiting groove 113 is provided on the first half-base 111 and the second half-base 112 respectively, and the locking member 140 is simultaneously disposed in both limiting grooves 113 to improve the limiting effect. Optionally, the limiting groove 113 is disposed below the first rotating seat portion 114 or the second rotating seat portion, so that the limiting groove 113 is closer to the edge of the base 110, which makes installation and operation more convenient.
[0140] The locking member 140 forms or connects to the limiting member 141, which is placed in the limiting groove 113. The limiting member 141 and the locking member 140 are integrally formed or separately disposed. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG26, the limiting member 141 is disposed through the telescopic slide 131, and the end of the limiting member 141 is placed in the limiting groove 113.
[0141] The locking member 140 also includes a sliding rod 142, which is placed within the telescopic slide 131 and arranged parallel to the extending direction of the telescopic slide 131. In some embodiments, both the limiting member 141 and the sliding rod 142 are cylindrical rods. In some embodiments, the limiting member 141 and the sliding rod 142 are arranged perpendicularly, and the sliding rod 142 is connected to the limiting member 141 in a T-shape or a cross shape. In some embodiments, the length of the sliding rod 142 is greater than the length of the limiting member 141.
[0142] As shown in Figure 27, both ends of the limiting groove 113 are provided with relatively inclined and outwardly expanding limiting ends 1130, and the limiting member 141 in the locked position cooperates with the limiting ends 1130. The limiting groove 113 also includes a connecting section 1133 located between the two limiting ends 1130. When the limiting member 141 is engaged with the limiting end 1130, the locking member 140 is in the locked position; when the limiting member 141 disengages from the limiting end 1130 and enters the connecting section 1133, the locking member 140 is in the unlocked position. Two limiting ends 1130 are defined as the first limiting end 1131 and the second limiting end 1132, respectively. The connecting section 1133 is connected between the first limiting end 1131 and the second limiting end 1132. The connecting section 1133 is set as an arc-shaped groove so that the limiting member 141 can move smoothly in the arc-shaped groove when the support rod 120 is in the rotation switching state. The limiting end 1130 is a straight groove that extends radially along the arc-shaped groove and extends to the outer wall surface of the arc-shaped groove.
[0143] When the limiting member 141 engages with the first limiting end 1131, the locking member 140 is in the locked position and locks the support rod 120 in the supported state. When the limiting member 141 engages with the second limiting end 1132, the locking member 140 is in the locked position and locks the support rod 120 in the retracted state. After the limiting member 141 disengages from either the first limiting end 1131 or the second limiting end 1132, it enters the connecting section 1133. When the limiting member 141 engages with the connecting section 1133, the locking member 140 is in the unlocked position, allowing the limiting member 141 to move within the connecting section 1133, and the support rod 120 to switch between the supported state and the retracted state.
[0144] At least a portion of the biasing element 150 is disposed between the pivot 160 and the limiting member 141. The biasing element 150 acts on the limiting member 141 to bias the limiting member 141 toward a locked position. In some embodiments, the biasing element 150 is a spring, such as a coil spring, with one end abutting against the pivot 160 and the other end abutting against the limiting member 141. Of course, in other embodiments, the biasing element 150 may also be a spring sheet or other structure capable of providing a biasing force to the limiting member 141.
[0145] As shown in Figures 23 to 26, the retractable bracket 104 also includes a button 170, which is disposed at one end of the locking member 140 to trigger the locking member 140 to switch from a locked position to an unlocked position. A button mounting portion 135 is also formed on the rotating base 130, and the button mounting portion 135 has a button hole 1351 communicating with the telescopic slide 131. The button 170 is mounted in the mounting hole and can move within the mounting hole under external pressure. The button 170 is disposed at one end of the locking member 140, and pressing the button 170 triggers the locking member 140 to switch from a locked position to an unlocked position. The biasing element 150 is positioned at the end of the locking member 140 that is away from the operable end, that is, at the end of the locking member 140 that is away from the button 170. This makes the biasing element 150 away from the button 170, and the biasing force of the biasing element 150 does not directly act on the button 170, making the operation of the button 170 more convenient. It also makes the button 170 less likely to detach from the rotating base 130. Even if the rotating base 130 accidentally detaches from the button hole 1351, the biasing element 150 will not detach from the rotating base 130. This makes the structure at the operating end (i.e., at the button 170 and the button mounting part 135) simple, compact and more stable.
[0146] The sliding rod 142 of the locking member 140 is fixedly connected to the button 170. Optionally, the end of the sliding rod 142 is inserted into the button 170. Pressing the button 170 will drive the sliding rod 142 to move along the telescopic slide 131, thereby disengaging the locking member 140 from the locked position. To facilitate user operation of the button 170, the button mounting part 135 and the insertion part 134 are set at an angle, making the button 170 tilted relative to the vertical direction, making it easier for the user to touch.
[0147] This application also discloses a retractable support 104 for use in a table tool system to support a workbench 10. The retractable support 104 includes a base 110, a support rod 120, a locking member 140, and a biasing element 150.

The support rod 120 is formed or connected to a rotating seat 130, which is configured to rotate relative to the base 110 about a pivot 160 to form a retracted state or a supported state. The locking member 140 is formed or connected to a limiting member 141, which is operated to have a locked position and an unlocked position. In the unlocked position, the support rod 120 can be operated to switch between the retracted state and the supported state. The biasing element 150 is at least partially disposed between the limiting member 141 and the pivot 160. In the unlocked position, the biasing element 150 acts on the locking member 140 to bias the limiting member 141 toward the locked position. It should be noted that the support rod 120 and the rotating seat 130 can be an integral structure or a separate structure.
