Abstract

An assembly structure for ping-pong table top is provided, including a first table plate, a second table plate, at least a fixing unit and at least a support unit. The fixing unit includes a first matching element, a second matching element and a coupling element. The first and second matching elements are fastened respectively to bottom of the first and second table plates. When coupling element coupled to the first and second matching elements, two table plates cannot be separated. The support unit includes a fixing element and a collaborating element. The collaborating element has an arch-door shape so that bottom of collaborating element can match fixing element. When assembled, an axis receiving hole is formed between fixing element and collaborating element so that fixing unit can splice two table plates together. Table legs are assembled to support unit. As such, the user can easily assemble the ping-pong table.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An assembly structure for fixing ping-pong table top to facilitate subsequent assembly, comprising:
 a first table plate, a second table plate, at least a fixing unit disposed on bottom surface of said first table plate and second table plate, and at least a support unit disposed on bottom surface of said first table plate and second table plate;   wherein said fixing unit further comprising a first matching element, a second matching element and a coupling element; said first matching element and said second matching element being fastened respectively to bottom surfaces of said first table plate and said second table plate; when said two table plates being aligned side-by-side together, said first matching element and said second matching element being also aligned side-by-side together; when said coupling element being coupled to said first matching element and said second matching element, said first matching element and said second matching element unable to be disengaged from said coupling element in the direction perpendicular to a plane where said first table plate and said second table plate being aligned together; said support unit comprising at least a fixing element and a collaborating element. The fixing element at least fixes a bottom surface of one of the two table plates; said collaborating element having an arch door shape so that bottom of said collaborating element able to match said fixing element; when assembled, said collaborating element unable to be disengaged from said fixing element in the direction perpendicular to said bottom surface of table plate; an axis receiving hole being formed between said fixing element and said collaborating element.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said first matching element comprises a first latch and said second matching element comprises a second latch; when said first matching element and said second matching element are aligned side-by-side, said first latch and second latch are also aligned side-by-side; said coupling element comprises a latch slot; when said first latch and said second latch slide simultaneously into said latch slot, said first matching element and said second matching element can no longer be disengaged from said coupling element along a direction perpendicular to surface of said first table plate and said second table plate where said first table plate and said second table plate are spliced side-by-side together. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly structure as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein when said first latch and said second latch are also aligned side-by-side, said first latch and said second latch form a body having a T-shaped cross-section, cross-section of said latch slot is also T-shaped. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein side walls of said first matching element and said second matching element, which facing each other, comprise a first fit wall and a second fit wall respectively; said first fit wall and said second fit wall are non-planar and have matching shape; when said first matching element uses said first fit wall to fit tightly with said second fit wall of said second matching element, said first matching element and said second matching element cannot move separately along the direction of surface of said first table plate and said second table plate where said first table plate and said second table plate are spliced side-by-side together. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly structure as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said first fit wall and said second fit wall comprises at least one of the following: a plurality of slant surfaces in vertical orientation, a plurality of concave surfaces, and a plurality of convex surfaces. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said fixing element is disposed with at least two parallel latch racks, said collaborating element has a shape of an arch door, with bottom forming at least two concave latch slots; when said latch racks slide into said latch slots, said coupled collaborating element cannot be disengaged from said fixing element along a direction perpendicular to surface of table plate. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly structure as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein vertical cross-section of said latch rack has a convex T-shape and vertical cross-section of said latch slot has a concave T shape so that said latch slot of said collaborating element can only be assembled to said latch rack of said fixing element in a direction parallel to the surface of table plate. 
     
     
         8 . The assembly structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein center surface of said fixing element forms an arc surface, located between two said latch racks; inner wall of arch door shape of said collaborating element is also an arc surface; when said collaborating element is assembled to said fixing element, said arc surface of said fixing element and said inner wall of said collaborating element form a space to receive an axis for rotation. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein when said support unit comprises two fixing elements and a collaborating element, two said fixing elements are fixed to surfaces of said first table plate and said second table plate respectively, when said collaborating element is spliced with said two fixing elements, an axis receiving hole is formed. 
     
     
         10 . The assembly structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said first table plate and said second table plate are disposed with a plurality of clamping plates on bottom surface near edge, said clamping plate forms a gap with surface of table plate in direction towards table plate edge. 
     
     
         11 . The assembly structure as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein said first table plate and said second table plate are disposed with a plurality of edge trims on bottom surface, said edge trim is an L shape formed by an edge horizontal plate and an edge side plate; when assembled, said edge horizontal plate is inserted into said gap of said clamping plate to be tightly clamped by said clamping plate; said edge side plate is aligned side-by-side with side wall of two table plates. 
     
     
         12 . The assembly structure as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein said first table plate and said second table plate are disposed with at least a corner trim, said corner trim comprises two corner side plates and a corner horizontal plate; said corner side plates are perpendicular to each other, with the sides in the same direction connected to said side horizontal plate to form a three-dimensional triangle; when assembled, said corner horizontal plate is inserted into said gap of said clamping plate at the corner of table plate; said corner side plates are arranged on the side walls of said table plate in different directions.
