The present utility model relates to a small operation table (or a work table, or a service table), such as a vehicle washing table, a stand table and a mini scaffold, and particularly to an operation table with a telescopic table board, that is, the table board of the operation table can be extended along the length direction, so as to satisfy different requirements for the length of the table board on various application occasions.
A mini operation table (or a work table, or a service table) is applied on many occasions in daily life and work, such as a dedicated vehicle washing table, and a domestic mini scaffold. The most direct result from applying this operation table is to facilitate climbing operation and bring convenience to people's lives and work.
In the prior art, much improvement has been made in the structure of this small operation table for enhancing versatility and realizing humanization design, such as an operation table with foldable feet, and an operation table with telescopic feet. The operation table with foldable feet, whose support feet under the table board are designed into foldable rotating feet, has the support feet folded during transportation and storage processes, and unfolded to support while in use; the operation table with telescopic feet has the support feet of the operation table designed into telescopic feet, making height of the operation table adjustable. However, the prior design and development were made only on the feet of the operation table, and the table board of the operation table was not changed and still a traditional piece of flat plate, which has a fixed length and cannot be extended. Whereas there are different requirements for the length of the operation table board on different actual application occasions. For example, when the operation table is used as a footrest underlay of a domestic mini scaffold, the operation is generally performed in one position, and the operation table board is unnecessary to be too large, too large an operation table board not only occupying too much space but also increasing cost; when the operation table is used as a vehicle washing table, the table board is required to be designed longer because of the longer body of the vehicle, which permits people to move left and right on the operation table, and to avoid the trouble of getting down off the operation table before moving the operation table. Therefore, the prior factory operation tables are all designed for a particular application occasion with poor versatility. However, the main requirements the current consumers have for such products as domestic ladders and operation tables are high versatility, a wide application scope, and a small volume for portability. Therefore, the prior operation table has obvious shortcomings in versatility.
The present utility model provides an operation table with a telescopic table board positioned with an eccentric rocker, aiming to make an improvement on the table board structure of the operation table and make the table board of the operation table telescopic, thus enhancing versatility and satisfying different requirements for the length of the table board on various application occasions.
In order to attain the above-mentioned purpose, a technical solution of the present utility model is as below: An operation table with a telescopic table board positioned with an eccentric rocker is provided, which includes the table board and support feet, the support feet being positioned at both ends of the table board along the length direction; the table board is composed of a left table board and a right table board, which are slidely nested with each other at the inner end, and connected at the outer end to the support feet at both ends, respectively; as for the left table board and the right table board, one of them is fixedly provided with a rack, while the other with a corresponding claw clutch, which is mainly composed of a claw and a spring; the claw is provided at the head with a tooth head engaged with the corresponding rack and at the tail with an unlocking operation handle, and supported at the central part via the spring on the left table board or the right table board correspondingly provided with the claw clutch; and the spring acts in the same direction with the tooth head, and the tooth head and the unlocking operation handle are eccentrically positioned on the side of the support center of the spring, thus constituting the telescopic positioning mechanism between the left table board and the right table board.
The explanation for the relevant content of the above technical solution is as below:
1. In the above solution, the rack and the claw clutch are all positioned on the side of the left table board and the right table board. As for the left table board and the right table board, one of them with the claw clutch is provided with a tooth head socket corresponding to the tooth head [9] at the head of the claw, and the tooth head is contactively engaged with the rack on the other table board through the tooth head socket.
2. In the above solution, the claw is in a point-moving state, that is, the tooth head of the claw and the rack are contactively engaged with each other in a locking state under normal conditions because of action of the spring. Trigger the unlocking operation handle when to unlock, the claw then eccentrically swings to make the tooth head escape from the rack to be in an unlocking state. Release the unlocking operation handle, and the claw is then reset and locked again.
In order to make the operation more convenient, an operator does not have to pull the unlocking operation handle all along while unlocks and adjusts the length of the table board. The following specific solution can be designed for a long-term positioning effect: The head of the claw is provided on the side where the unlocking operation handle is positioned with a bayonet, which fits the tooth head socket at the edge to get stuck and positioned, thus constituting the positioning structure of the claw in the unlocking state; moreover, the claw is provided at the central part extending toward one side on the swing plane of the claw with a locking operation handle symmetrical to the unlocking operation handle, thus the claw being in a “ ” form. The above-mentioned solution is to position the unlocking operation handle and the locking operation handle on both ends of the claw, respectively. When the unlocking operation handle is triggered, the claw eccentrically swings toward the side of the unlocking operation handle, making the tooth head escape from the rack to be in the unlocking state. Here the bayonet gets stuck on the edge of the tooth head socket, positioning the unlocking state. When to lock, again operate the locking operation handle on the other side to make the claw swing toward the other side to reset, and the tooth head again arrives against the rack, recovering the locking state.
3. In the above solution, the claw clutch is provided with a seat body, on which the claw is supported at the central part via the spring. The seat body is fixed on the left table board or the right table board correspondingly provided with the claw clutch.
4. In the above solution, in order to prevent the spring from deviating while the claw eccentrically swings, the following two methods can be adopted to connect the claw with the spring: a. The claw is provided at the central part with a convex platform, to which the spring is sleeved at one end; and b. the claw is directly fixedly connected at the central part with the spring at one end.
5. In the above solution, the function of the spring is to make the tooth head firmly lean against the rack, and the spring can be positioned either vertically or inclinely to the rack, vertical to the rack being the most preferred.
6. In the above solution, various prior solutions can be adopted for the support feet, which can be designed into telescopic feet or fixed feet. The junction of the support feet and the table board can be either fixed or a foldable rotary feet structure realized by rotary connection. Then the present utility model can be combined with the prior art, presenting an operation table good at both versatility and portability with the foldable and telescopic feet and the telescopic table board.
7. In the above solution, the sentence, “the left table board and the right table board are slidely nested with each other at the inner end”, includes the following two specific nested connection methods: a. As for the left table board and the right table board, one of them is designed at the bottom into a chute form, while the other is nested into this chute, thus constituting slide connection. This chute can be either integrally fabricated with the table board, or additionally connected under the flat table board as an independent chute. b. The left table board and the right table board are all made up of support poles spaced in parallel with each other and connected via an outer frame, that is, the left table board and the right table board are in a grid form, comprising surface of the support pole and partition of the empty slot. When the left table board is connected with the right table board, one of them is connectively inserted with the support pole into the other at the empty slot, thus constituting slide connection.
8. In the above solution, the telescopic positioning mechanism is unlimited in number. It is generally required only to provide one telescopic positioning mechanism on one side of the table board. Certainly, one telescopic positioning mechanism can also be provided on both sides of the table board, respectively. The relative positions of the left table board and the right table board are locked under the action of the telescopic positioning mechanisms between them.
The work principle of the present utility model is as below: As shown in
Because of application of the above technical solution, the present utility model has the following advantages compared to the prior art:
1. With the unique design of the table board of the present utility model, the table board is composed of the left table board and the right table board slidely connected with each other, and can be arbitrarily extended to get the length of the table board adjusted, consumedly enhancing versatility of the operation table, making it applicable on multiple occasions, that is, the table board can be used as a domestic mini scaffold or a vehicle washing table. On the other hand, with the adjustable length of the table board, the table board can be shorten to the smallest size while being folded, saving the storage space.
2. Because the telescopic positioning mechanism of the present utility model is constituted by the claw clutch and the rack cooperating with each other, there are numerous adjusting shift positions, substantially realizing infinitely variable adjustment, making an operator position at various lengths fully upon request.
3. Because the claw clutch adopted by the present utility model has a structure where the claw eccentrically swings, it is both reliable and convenient to position, simple in structure, and convenient in fabrication.
