DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The embodiment of the application will be described in detail below, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the embodiment of the application provides an outdoor folding dining table for pets, which includes a mounting base 100, two groups of table platforms 200, two groups of table legs 300 and two groups of swing rods 400, the two groups of table platforms 200 are respectively rotatably connected to two upper sides of the mounting base 100, the two groups of table legs 300 are respectively rotatably connected to two lower sides of the mounting base 100, and two ends of each group of swing rods 400 are respectively hinged to one group of table platforms 200 and one group of table legs 300 which are located on the same side. Referring to FIG. 3, when unused, carrying or packaging for transportation, the two groups of table platforms 200 and the two groups of table legs 300 of the dining table for pets may be rotated to be closed and folded together relative to the mounting base 100, the swing rods 400 are also folded between the table platforms 200 and the table legs 300, so that the occupation space of the dining table for pets may be reduced, and meanwhile, the carrying and transportation are also convenient. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, during use, the dining table for pets may be normally used only by outwards rotating for unfolding the two groups of table platforms 200 and table legs 300 and propping up and fixing the table platforms 200 and the table legs 300 by utilizing the swing rods 400, so that the use and operation are very convenient.


Specifically, the table platform 200 is provided with a mounting groove 230 for mounting a pet bowl 500, the pet bowl 500 may be detachably mounted in the mounting groove 230 or integrally formed with the mounting groove 230, which may be set according to actual needs specifically. Specifically, for rotating connection between the table platform 200 and the mounting base 100, rotating connection between the table leg 300 and the mounting base 100, and hinging of the swing rod 400 with the table platform 200 and the table leg 300, elastic hinging may be adopted, that is, an elastic material is adopted to realize connection at rotating connection positions. Taking the hinging of the swing rod 400 with the table platform 200 and the table leg 300 as an example, when an external force is applied, the rotating connection positions may have a slight elastic deformation, so that two ends of the swing rod 400 may be rotated relative to the table platform 200 and the table leg 300, the table platform 200 and the table leg 300 may be unfolded normally, when the external force is canceled, the elastic deformation of the rotating connection positions restores, two ends of the swing rod 400 are fixed relative to the table platform 200 and the table leg 300 and may prop up the table platform 200 and the table leg 300, so that the dining table for pets is in an unfolded state.


Furthermore, the angles are equal when the two groups of table legs 300 are rotated to be unfolded, so that the dining table for pets may be stably placed. Specifically, referring to FIG. 4, that the angles are equal when the two groups of table legs 300 are rotated to be unfolded may be realized through the following way: the two groups of table legs 300 are rotatably connected with the mounting base 100 through two groups of rotating shafts 700 respectively, gears 600 are mounted at the end parts of the two groups of rotating shafts 700, and the two groups of gears 600 are connected in a meshing manner. When one group of table legs 300 is rotated outwards, the group of table legs 300 rotates relative to the mounting base 100, driven by the two groups of gears 600, the other group of table legs 300 is bound to rotate in the opposite direction, and the rotation angles of the two groups of table legs 300 are equal all the time. Of course, it is also possible to set a clamping position at the rotating connecting position, when both the two groups of table legs 300 are rotated to the clamping position, the unfolding angles are naturally equal, but this structure cannot make the table leg 300 to be unfolded to a variety of angles. While with the adoption of a linkage mode of the two groups of gears 600, under the premise that the unfolding angles of the two groups of table legs 300 are equal, the table leg 300 may be unfolded to a variety of angles. Furthermore, the end part of the mounting base 100 is provided with end covers 110, and the end covers 110 are fixedly connected with the mounting base 100 and located on the outer sides of the gears 600.


Furthermore, during folding, the two groups of the table platforms 200 attach to each other, the two groups of table legs 300 attach to each other, the two groups of the table legs 300 are respectively accommodated in the two groups of table platforms 200, so that the occupation space of the dining table for pets may be further reduced, in such a case, the table legs 300 may be set shorter, and the table legs 300 may be fully accommodated in the table platform 200, which may be used for small pets. Furthermore, a first yielding groove 210 is formed in the side, close to the mounting base 100, of the table platform 200, and during folding, the first yielding groove 210 is connected with the mounting base 100 in an embedding manner, so that interference between the table platform 200 during folding and the mounting base 100 may be avoided. Still furthermore, for large pets, the table legs 300 need to be set longer, in order to avoid interference between the table platform 200 during folding and the table legs 300, a second yielding groove 220 is formed in the side, away from the mounting base 100, of the table platform 200, during folding, the end, close to the mounting base 100, of the table leg 300 is accommodated in the table platform 200, and the other end stretches out from the second yielding groove 220. As shown in FIG. 3, when the dining table for pets is folded, the whole is in a block shape, so that the carrying, packaging and transportation are convenient.


Furthermore, in some embodiments, each group of table legs 300 may include two support rods, namely, one dining table for pets includes four support rods. In some other embodiments, the table legs 300 are U-shaped, the open side is rotatably connected to the mounting base 100, and the closed side is configured for supporting. When the dining table for pets is folded, the closed side of the table leg 300 may be held by hand, which is convenient for carrying and moving. Furthermore, the end, away from the mounting base 100, of the table leg 300 is provided with a non-slip pad 800.
