Multi-functional workbench
A multi-functional workbench disclosed herein includes a worktop and supporting legs. The worktop is provided with a girder. The bottom of the girder is provided with a receiving space. Concave-shaped mechanisms are affixed in the receiving space and are connected by square tubes. The supporting legs are rotatably attached to the square tubes and can be received in the receiving space. The workbench further includes one or more locking mechanisms. A first locking mechanism is installed between two supporting legs attached to the same square tube. The first locking mechanism prevents the supporting legs from being disengaged when engaged into the concave-shaped mechanisms. More locking mechanisms can be added to secure the supporting legs when they are folded. The multi-functional workbench can be converted into a worksurface, a sawhorse, a step tool, a creeper, or a pulling tractor.
1. A multi-functional workbench, comprising: a worktop and supporting legs, wherein
the worktop is provided with a girder, and the bottom of the girder is provided with a receiving space;
concave-shaped mechanisms are fixed in the receiving space, and are connected by a tube, and both ends of the tube are rotatable;
the supporting legs are connected to the tube and drive the rotation of the tube, and the supporting legs are rotatably engageable into the concave-shaped mechanisms to be received in the receiving space;
a first locking mechanism is disposed between two supporting legs that are connected to the tube, wherein the first locking mechanism is configured to lock the supporting legs; and
a second locking mechanism disposed on the girder for securing the supporting legs when the supporting legs are folded inside the receiving space.
2. The multi-functional workbench of claim 1 , wherein each concave-shaped mechanism has a recess, the recesses of the two concave-shaped mechanisms connected to the tube are disposed oppositely, the supporting legs are attached to the tube in between the recesses, and protrusions of the recesses restrict continuous rotation of the supporting legs when the supporting legs are engaged into the recesses.
3. The multi-functional workbench of claim 1 , wherein the first locking mechanism is configured to prevent the supporting legs from falling out of the concave-shaped mechanisms while the supporting legs are engaged into the concave-shaped mechanisms; and wherein the first locking mechanism comprises two supporting bars and a limiting member, respective ends of the supporting bars are connected to each other and axially rotatable about a connection point while the other ends are connected to the supporting legs, and the limiting member is disposed at the connection point to prevent the continuous rotation of the two supporting bars after the two supporting bars are in a straight line.
4. The multi-functional workbench of claim 1 ,
wherein the second locking mechanism is connected to the tube, and the second locking mechanism is capable of locking the tube to prevent it from rotating while the supporting legs are received in the receiving space;
wherein the second locking mechanism comprises two locking bars, a locking member, a girder securing member, and a tube securing member;
wherein the girder securing member is secured at the bottom of the girder, the tube securing member is secured to the tube, one end of the two locking bars are connected to each other at a connection point and axially rotatable around the connection point while the other end of the two locking bars are rotatably connected to the girder securing member and the tube securing member respectively, and the locking member is disposed at the connection point to prevent further movement of the two locking bars after the two locking bars are aligned in a straight line through rotation.
5. The multi-functional workbench of claim 1 , wherein the worktop is provided with a beam structure for distributing bearing load.
6. The multi-functional workbench of claim 5 , wherein the beam structure comprises long beams near two opposing sides of the worktop and one or more short beams distributed between the two long beams on the underside of the worktop.
7. The multi-functional workbench of claim 1 , wherein the bottom of the worktop is provided with detachable rollers.
8. The multi-functional workbench of claim 1 , wherein each of the supporting legs has a first supporting leg member and a second supporting leg member that are coaxially connected, and wherein the first supporting leg member is received in the second supporting leg member, and a received length of the first supporting leg member is controlled by a lock.
9. The multi-functional workbench of claim 1 , wherein a surface of the worktop includes a length scale and an angle scale.
10. The multi-functional workbench of claim 1 , wherein an edge of the worktop is provided with traction pins.
11. The multi-functional workbench of claim 1 , wherein the surface of the worktop has at least one tool tray.
12. The multi-functional workbench of claim 1 , wherein the worktop is provided with at least one expandable connection through hole along a thickness direction.
13. The multi-functional workbench of claim 1 , wherein the worktop is provided with a socket module.
