Abstract
The present disclosure provides a table tennis table. Compared with the existing design, according to the present disclosure, a whole table tennis table is divided into two table tennis table boards, and each table tennis table board can be folded into two plates. On one hand, the table board can be folded, which is convenient to transport. On the other hand, because of the setting of first articulation pieces, second articulation pieces, third articulation pieces, and fourth articulation pieces, the table board can be supported directly by folding and connection relationship without special installation of the supporting feet and the fixing feet. For each table tennis table board, a consumer only needs to rotate two fixing screws to use the table tennis table, which is more convenient and simpler than the traditional way to install the table legs.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of a table tennis table, and in particular to a table tennis table.


BACKGROUND

In the manufacturing process of a table tennis table, the table tennis table needs a relatively large table board, and moreover, needs a relatively complete table board as a whole. The existing table tennis table board is generally a whole table board or composed of two opposing table boards spliced together. However, the two types of table boards are relatively large, which is not conducive to handling, assembly and transportation. At the same time, it is not easy for the two types of existing table tennis tables to be installed, and the tables will be uneven if the table legs are not installed well, which greatly affects the user experience.


SUMMARY

The present disclosure provides a table tennis table, which solves the problems of inconvenient transportation of the existing table tennis table and troublesome installation of the table legs thereof.


In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present disclosure is as follows: a table tennis table, including two movably-spliced table tennis table boards, wherein each of the table tennis table boards includes two symmetrically-arranged folding plates, two symmetrically-arranged supporting feet, and two symmetrically-arranged fixing feet for fixing the supporting feet; a first articulation piece for movable folding is arranged between the two symmetrically-arranged folding plates, a second articulation piece is arranged on a side of each of the two symmetrically-arranged folding plates, and a fourth articulation piece is arranged on a top edge of each of the two symmetrically-arranged folding plates; the two supporting feet are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the two folding boards, the supporting feet are movably connected to the folding plates through the second articulation pieces, the two fixing feet are symmetrically arranged on top edges of the folding plates, and the two symmetrically-arranged fixing feet are movably connected through the fourth articulation pieces.


Preferably, each fixing foot of the two symmetrically-arranged fixing feet includes a first fixing foot and a second fixing foot; and the first fixing foot is fixedly connected to the second fixing foot.


Preferably, a third articulation piece for a movable folding connection is arranged respectively between two opposite first fixing feet of the two symmetrically-arranged fixing feet and between two opposite second fixing feet of the two symmetrically-arranged fixing feet.


Preferably, the third articulation piece includes two joints that are symmetrically arranged with each other and a joint shaft, the two joints are fixed by the joint shaft, and the joints are fixedly connected to the first fixing feet.


Preferably, fixing screws for a fixed connection are arranged between the supporting feet and the fixing feet.


Preferably, the first articulation piece is a hinge joint articulation piece.


Preferably, both the second articulation piece and the fourth articulation piece are rotation shaft articulation pieces.


The beneficial effects achieved by the present disclosure are as follows: compared with the existing design, according to the present disclosure, a whole table tennis table is divided into two table tennis table boards, and each table tennis table board can be folded into two plates; on one hand, the table board can be folded, which is convenient to transport; on the other hand, because of the setting of first articulation pieces, second articulation pieces, third articulation pieces, and fourth articulation pieces, the table board can be supported directly by folding and connection relationship without special installation of the supporting feet and the fixing feet; for each table tennis table board, a consumer only needs to rotate two fixing screws to use the table tennis table, which is more convenient and simpler than the traditional way to install the table legs.
