DETAILED DESCRIPTION
(13) To make an objective, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention but are not used to limit the present invention.
(14) With reference to
(15) With reference to
(16) With reference to
(17) Descriptions are provided below by using the first workbench unit 112 as an example. With reference to
(18) It should be noted that the recessed portion 116 may completely accommodate the support leg mounting block 124, preventing the support leg mounting block 124 from protruding from the working surface 1100 (or the first working surface 1120) so as to affect the supported workpiece.
(19) The first workbench unit 112 is provided with a first side surface 1126, a second side surface 1127 and a third side surface 1128, the first side surface 1126 is parallel to a longitudinal direction, the second side surface 1127 and the third side surface 1128 are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, that is, the second side surface 1127 and the third side surface 1128 are disposed on two longitudinal sides of the first workbench unit 112. The first workbench unit 112 is provided with a first leg portion 1124 and a second leg portion 1125 at a vertex angle, far away from the second portion 112b, of the first portion 112a. The first leg portion 1124 extends from the first side surface 1126 and the second side surface 1127 of the first workbench unit 112 along a direction away from the first working surface 1120. The second leg portion 1125 extends from the first side surface 1126 and the third side surface 1128 of the first workbench unit 112 along a direction away from the first working surface 1120, that is, the first leg portion 1124 and the second leg portion 1125 are same in the extension direction and are both formed by extending from two side surfaces. Certainly, the first leg portion 1124 (or the second leg portion) may also extend from only one side surface. When the workbench unit 110 are in the unfolded state and are not connected to the bracket 120, the first leg portion 1124 and the second leg portion 1125 protrude from bottom surfaces of the first portion 112a and the second portion 112b, and the bottom surfaces are opposite the first working surface 1120. The second workbench unit 114 is also provided with a first leg portion 1144 and a second leg portion 1145, the first leg portion 1144 and the second leg portion 1145 extend from the bottom surface opposite the second working surface 1140. The first leg portion 1124 and the second leg portion 1125 of the first workbench unit 112 and a first leg portion 1144 and a second leg portion 1145 of the second workbench unit 114 are together used as support of the workbench. The workbench (with no bracket) in this case is a relatively low workbench, that is, in the foregoing second working state.
(20) In addition, in the extension directions of the first leg portion 1124 and the second leg portion 1125, transverse dimensions (dimensions in directions perpendicular to the extension directions) of the first leg portion 1124 and the second leg portion 1125 both gradually decrease along the extension directions. Reasons for such setting are described below.
(21) The raised portions 1122 and the recessed portions 1123 are arranged in a staggered manner. In a direction b perpendicular to the longitudinal direction a of the second portion 112b, the raised portions 1122 and the recessed portions 1123 are all kept aligned. Specifically, in the longitudinal direction of the second portion 112b, an arrangement sequence of the raised portions 1122 and the recessed portions 1123 is: a recessed portion 1123a, a raised portion 1122a, a recessed portion 1123b, a raised portion 1122b, a recessed portion 1123c, a raised portion 1122c, a recessed portion 1123d, and a raised portion 1122d. A longitudinal dimension (that is, a dimension in the longitudinal direction of the second portion 112b; the following longitudinal dimension are similar) of the recessed portion 1123a and a longitudinal dimension of the raised portion 1122d are equal and are L1. A longitudinal dimension of the recessed portion 1123b and a longitudinal dimension of the raised portion 1122c are equal and are L3. A longitudinal dimension of the recessed portion 1123c and a longitudinal dimension of the raised portion 1122b are equal and are L4. A longitudinal dimension of the recessed portion 1123d and a longitudinal dimension of the raised portion 1122a are equal and are L2. L4>L3>L2>L1. The raised portions 1122 and the recessed portions 1123 are same in dimension along the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and both are L5. In another embodiment, the dimension of at least one of the raised portions 1122 along the longitudinal direction is not equal to a dimension of another raised portion along the longitudinal direction. It should be noted that an adjoining part of the raised portion 1122b and the recessed portion 1123c is a line segment, and the line segment divides a longitudinal length of the second portion 112b into two parts. The first portion defines a central line perpendicular to the longitudinal direction a. A distance (L2/2+L3+L4) between a center of any raised portion (for example, 1122a) to the central line is equal to a distance (L2/2+L3+L4) between a center of any corresponding recessed portion (1123d) to the central line. Therefore, positions of the raised portions 1122 and positions of the recessed portions 1123 may correspond one to one on two sides of the central line. According to such setting, the first workbench unit 112 may shape-cooperate with the second workbench unit 114, the first workbench unit 112 and the second workbench unit 114 are same in shape and size, to finally compose a rectangular regular working surface.
(22) The first workbench unit 112 is provided with several positioning holes 1101 penetrating the first working surface 1120. The positioning holes 1101 include n positioning holes 11011 disposed in the first portion 112a and n/2 positioning holes 11012 disposed in the second portion 112b, and n is an even number greater than 0. The positioning holes 11011 of the first portion 112a are aligned with each other in the direction b, to form a first positioning hole group 1101a, and the positioning holes 11012 of the second portion 112b are also aligned with each other in the direction b. Specifically, the positioning holes 11012 of the second portion 112b are disposed in the raised portions 1122a, 1122b, and 1122c, and the raised portion 1122d is not provided with second positioning holes due to its relatively small size. Specifically, the positioning holes 11012 of the second portion 114 include a first positioning hole 11013a disposed in a first raised portion, two second positioning holes 11014a disposed in a second raised portion, and a third positioning hole 11015a disposed in a third raised portion.
(23) It can be known with reference to
(24) With reference to
(25) A scale 1102 corresponding to the positioning holes 1101 is provided at sides of the positioning holes 1101, so that a user can intuitively adjust a clamping size.
(26) Certainly, formation of the second positioning hole group 1101b also depends on structures of the raised portions 1122. If a size of each raised portion is equal (that is, L1=L2=L3=L4), some of positioning holes just cross the raised portions 1122 and the recessed portions 1123, that is, two half holes can be made to form positioning holes after the two workbench units cooperate. Such positioning holes are meaningless because the positioning holes consist of two parts (small displacement exists) and are unstable during positioning so as to cause large errors. Only when the raised portions are not all equal in size, the second positioning hole group 1101b similar to the first positioning hole group 11011 can be formed.
(27) With reference to ” shapes at a lower side of the first workbench unit. A “
”-shaped reinforcing rib 119 can disperse stress applied to the workbench unit in four directions, increasing support strength and helping prolonging a service life of the workbench.
(28) In this embodiment, the reinforcing rib is only formed in the first portion 112a. No reinforcing rib is additionally disposed in the second portion 112b because the second portion 112b has a structure of relatively large strength (the structure is used to accommodate and support the rotating shaft 111, and therefore requires relatively high strength).
(29) With reference to
(30) The second portion 112b is provided with multiple support holes 125 (

(32) With reference to
(33)
(34) With reference to
(35) When the workbench unit are in the folded state, the first leg portion 1124 of the first workbench unit 112 and the second leg portion 1145 of the second workbench unit 114 cooperate to form a first curved outline 11240, the second leg portion 1125 of the first workbench unit and the first leg portion 1144 of the second workbench unit cooperate to form a second curved outline 11250, the first curved outline 11240 is connected to the first side surface 1126 and the second side surface 1127, and the second curved outline 11250 is connected to the first side surface 1126 and the third side surface 1128, so as to form a stable accommodation structure.
(36) Certainly, if the bracket is to be clamped stably, a connection structure needs to be set at sides, far away from the rotating shaft, of the first workbench unit 112 and the second workbench unit 114. The workbench may further include a detachable connecting piece 160, the connecting piece 160 includes a main body part 164 and connecting parts 162 located on two opposite sides of the main body part. The connecting parts 162 are hole-shaped. The first workbench unit 112 and the second workbench unit 114 are provided with a pair of columnar protrusions 1129 and 1149 at the sides respectively, the sides are far away from the rotating shaft. The connecting parts 162 are sleeved and connected to the columnar protrusions 1129 and 1149 so as to maintain the first workbench unit 112 and the second workbench unit 114. A handle 118 is formed between the two protrusions 1129 (or two protrusions 1149). The connecting piece 160 and the protrusions 1129 and 1149 may be not provided. When a user holds the handle 118, a griping force causes the bracket 120 to be directly clamped by the inner walls of the bracket placement cavity 140. Certainly, such design requires the user to apply a greater force, and user experience is relatively poor.
(37) In addition, the raised portions of the first workbench unit 112 and the second workbench unit 114 can be used as support of a whole structure and is in direct contact with the ground. In addition, the handle 118 is made to be located at a certain height, to facilitate fetching of the user.
(38) The foregoing embodiments express only several implementations of the present invention and are described relatively specifically and in detail, but cannot be understood as limitation to the invention patent scope. It should be noted that for a person of ordinary skill in the art, various transformations and improvements can further be made without departing from the idea of the present invention and all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention patent should be subject to the appended claims.
