This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application Ser. No. CN201621074710X filed 23 Sep. 2016.


FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to an electrically-lifted computer desk and office desk thereof which can be used separately or in combination and can be lifted stably with low noise and great bearing power.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

With the more and more generalization of digital homes, the household life of people are undergoing enormous changes, wherein the incorporation of digital automation design in modern digital homes is becoming the most outstanding advantage. In a household environment, the desk has been incorporated into human lives with multiple functions. On the current stage, the desk is generally used only as a dining table, a computer desk, a study desk and the like. Therefore, the functions of the desk are single at present, and can not satisfy the multi-purpose requirements.


In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the Chinese patent CN 102599728A discloses a lifting desktop device, comprising a lifting desktop, a screw rod driving mechanism, a first bearer, two push rods and two first support rods, wherein the screw rod driving mechanism comprises synchronization wheels, a synchronization belt, a motor device, two nut sliding blocks and two screw rods; the two nut sliding blocks are respectively sleeved on the two screw rods; the two synchronization wheels are respectively disposed at the same ends of the two screw rods; the synchronization belt is connected with the two synchronization wheels; one of the two screw rods is connected with the motor device; one end of the push rod is pivotally connected with the lifting desktop, and the other end is pivotally connected with the nut sliding block; one end of the first support rod is pivotally connected with the lifting desktop, and the other end is pivotally connected with the first bearer; and the lifting desktop can be lifted upwards or folded downwards under the drive of the motor device. The lifting desktop device of the invention is suitable to be used together with various computer desks, school desks, tea tables and the like for placing a keyboard and a mouse; the lifting desktop is free to be lifted and folded, is compact and flexible, and has strong versatility and practicability.

The driving mechanism 120 comprises a first fixing piece 121, a second fixing piece 122, a first guide rod 123 and a second guide rod 124; the first fixing piece 121 and the second fixing piece 122 are parallel to each other, and are separated by a preset distance; the first guide rod 123 and the second guide rod 124 are parallel to each other, are separated by a preset distance, and form a frame together with the first fixing piece 121 and the second fixing piece 122; a screw rod 125 is disposed in parallel with the first guide rod 123 at an intermediate position between the first guide rod 123 and the second guide rod 124 of the frame; the two ends of the screw rod are respectively connected with the first fixing piece 121 and the second fixing piece 122; a driving source 126 is disposed at one end of the screw rod 125; and the driving mechanism 120 is fixed on the bottom plate 110 via the first fixing piece 121 and the second fixing piece 122; the intermediate support member 130 comprises a nut sliding rod seat 131, a first side-support piece 132, a second side-support piece 133 and a transverse link 134, wherein the nut sliding rod seat 131 is threaded on the first guide rod 123, the second guide rod 124 and the screw rod 125 of the driving mechanism 120, and does a reciprocating motion along the first guide rod 123 and the second guide rod 124 with the rotation of the screw rod 125; the lower end of the first side-support piece 132 is pivotally connected with one end of the nut sliding rod seat 131; the lower end of the second side-support piece 133 is pivotally connected with the other end of the nut sliding rod seat 131; and the upper ends of the first side-support piece 132 and the second side-support piece 133 are fixedly connected with the transverse link 134. What should be understood is that when the screw rod 125 is connected with the nut sliding rod seat 131, the screw threads for connecting the nut sliding rod seat 131 with the screw rod 125 can be formed by directly threading the nut sliding rod seat 131, and can also be formed by embedding another nut in the nut sliding rod seat 131; similarly, when the nut sliding rod seat 131 is connected with the first guide rod 123 and the second guide rod 124, a hole can be directly punched on the nut sliding rod seat 131, or a sliding bush can be embedded after punching a hole on the nut sliding rod seat 131. The driving source 126 in the invention can be driven by a motor 1261; when driven by the motor 1261, two different modes are provided: one is that the motor 1261 is directly connected with one end of the screw rod 125 via a speed reducer 1265; and the other one is as shown in the figure: a first synchronization wheel 1262 is disposed on the output shaft of the speed reducer 1265 of the motor 1261, a second synchronization wheel 1263 is disposed at one end of the screw rod 125, and the first synchronization wheel 1262 is connected with the second synchronization wheel 1263 via a synchronization belt 1264. Obviously, if a more environmentally-friendly structure is required to be made, the driving source 126 can be directly driven by manpower, in which case a rocker (unshown in the figure) for applying force is required to be disposed at one end of the screw rod 125. The invention adopts a frame-shaped driving mechanism and a frame-shaped intermediate support member, and transfers the motive power via the frame-shaped intermediate support member. Therefore, the invention has the advantages of stable lifting, low noise and great bearing power.

Preferably, the bottom plate 110 is hollowed to form a first flanged edge 111 and a second flanged edge 112; the lower end of the third side-support piece 141 is pivotally connected with the first flanged edge 111; and the lower end of the fifth side-support piece 151 is pivotally connected with the second flanged edge 112.


Preferably, the first desktop connecting piece 143 comprises a third flanged edge 1431; the third flanged edge 1431 is provided with a first guide groove 1432 thereon; a first guide wheel 1413 is disposed at the upper end of the third side-support piece 141; the third side-support piece 141 is slidably connected with the first guide groove 1432 via the first guide wheel 1413; the second desktop connecting piece 153 comprises a fourth flanged edge 1531; the fourth flanged edge 1531 is provided with a second guide groove 1532 thereon; a second guide wheel 1513 is disposed at the upper end of the fifth side-support piece 151; and the fifth side-support piece 151 is slidably connected with the second guide groove 1532 via the second guide wheel 1513.


What should be explained is that when two components are pivotally connected in the invention, a bearing can be assembled at the pivot connecting position, which facilitates the rotation of the invention and reduces noise.


Preferably, the invention further comprises a keyboard plate 170; the two sides of the keyboard plate 170 are respectively fixedly connected with the first desktop connecting piece 143 and the second desktop connecting piece 153, or slidably connected with the first desktop connecting piece 143 and the second desktop connecting piece 153 via a drawer slide assembly.


Please refer to FIG. 3-4. The invention further provides an office desk; the office desk 200 is provided with the electrically-lifted computer desk 100.


The bottom plate 160 can be directly replaced with an office desk face plate to form an integrative office desk 200 provided with the electrically-lifted computer desk 100; alternatively, the bottom plate 160 can also be maintained, such that the electrically-lifted computer desk 100 can be used separately or in combination with the office desk 200, thus forming a completely novel furniture combination.
