Abstract

A foldable table includes a support assembly, a tabletop assembly, a rotating assembly and a buffer member. The tabletop assembly is rotatably connected to the support assembly through the rotating assembly and is rotatable between a use position and a storage position. One end of the buffer member is connected to the support assembly, and the other end of the buffer member is connected to the tabletop assembly. When the tabletop assembly rotates from the use position to the storage position, the buffer member generates a resistance opposite to a rotation direction of the tabletop assembly, and a magnitude of the resistance is less than a force driving the rotation of the tabletop assembly. Through the arrangement of the above structure, when folding the foldable table of the present invention, it can not only ensure the integrity of its own structure, but also prevent accidental injury to the user.

         2 . The foldable table according to  claim 1 , wherein the support assembly has an L-shaped structure; the support assembly comprises a base, the base is located at a lower end of the support assembly, and a height of the base does not exceed 6 cm. 
     
     
         3 . The foldable table according to  claim 1 , wherein the buffer member is a gas spring; one end of the gas spring is rotatably connected to the support assembly, and the other end of the gas spring is rotatably connected to the tabletop assembly. 
     
     
         4 . The foldable table according to  claim 1 , wherein the foldable table further comprises a locking member; when the locking member is in a locking position, the locking member fixes the tabletop assembly relative to the support assembly; when the locking member is disengaged from the locking position, the tabletop assembly rotates from the use position to the storage position. 
     
     
         5 . The foldable table according to  claim 4 , wherein the rotating assembly comprises a first rotating member and a second rotating member; the first rotating member is connected to the support assembly, and the second rotating member is connected to the tabletop assembly; when the locking member is disengaged from the locking position, the second rotating member rotates relative to the first rotating member, thereby driving the tabletop assembly to rotate from the use position to the storage position. 
     
     
         6 . The foldable table according to  claim 1 , wherein the tabletop assembly comprises a first plate, a second plate, and a frame; the frame is provided with an angle adjustment member; the second plate is connected to the angle adjustment member, and the angle adjustment member drives the second plate to rotate relative to the rotating assembly. 
     
     
         7 . The foldable table according to  claim 1 , wherein a blocking member is arranged at an edge of the tabletop assembly; an upper end of the blocking member is higher than a surface of the tabletop assembly facing away from the support assembly, and the blocking member is configured to prevent objects on the tabletop assembly from sliding. 
     
     
         8 . The foldable table according to  claim 5 , wherein the first rotating member is provided with a slotted hole; a notch is arranged on one side of the second rotating member adjacent to the locking member; the locking member is partially located within the slotted hole, and the locking member is able to slide within the slotted hole; when the locking member is in the locking position, the locking member is partially located in the notch, thereby locking the first rotating member and the second rotating member relative to each other; when the locking member is disengaged from the locking position, the locking member disengages from the notch, and the second rotating member rotates relative to the first rotating member. 
     
     
         9 . The foldable table according to  claim 1 , wherein the support assembly comprises a fixed table leg and a lifting table leg, and the lifting table leg is movably connected to the fixed table leg; an accommodating space is provided in the fixed table leg and the lifting table leg, and a lifting adjustment member is arranged within the accommodating space; the lifting adjustment member is connected to the lifting table leg, the lifting adjustment member drives the lifting table leg to move up and down relative to the fixed table leg, and the tabletop assembly moves up and down synchronously with the lifting table leg. 
     
     
         10 . The foldable table according to  claim 2 , wherein a sliding member is arranged under the base, and the foldable table is slidable through the sliding member. 
     
     
         11 . The foldable table according to  claim 5 , wherein the buffer member is connected to the support assembly and the tabletop assembly, and a first connecting groove and a second connecting groove are respectively arranged at two ends of the buffer member; a first movable member and a second movable member are respectively arranged on an upper portion of the support assembly and a lower side of the tabletop assembly, the first movable member is inserted into the first connecting groove, and the second movable member is inserted into the second connecting groove. 
     
     
         12 . The foldable table according to  claim 11 , wherein the first movable member and the second movable member are provided with rotating ends respectively, the rotating end of the first movable member is inserted into the first connecting groove, and the rotating end of the second movable member is inserted into the second connecting groove. 
     
     
         13 . The foldable table according to  claim 6 , wherein the second plate is connected to the frame through a hinge, and the angle adjustment member drives the second plate to rotate relative to the rotating assembly through the hinge. 
     
     
         14 . The foldable table according to  claim 8 , wherein limiting members are arranged at two ends of the locking member, and the limiting members are configured to prevent the locking member from falling off. 
     
     
         15 . The foldable table according to  claim 8 , wherein the locking member is elastically connected to the rotating assembly.
