Since the ring gear of the rotating disk 33 protrudes into the circular cavity, as shown in
Referring to
The driving block 35 is connected to the locking block 32 and configured to, when driven by an external force, drive the locking block 32 to disengage from the ring gear on the rotating disk 33 to release the rotating disk 33 from rotation restriction. It should be noted that there can be various ways of external drive, for example, the movement of the locking block 32 can be realized by a button communicating with the inside of the rotating disk 33 or the fixed disk 31, or by the rotation driving in this embodiment.
The top assembly 40 is connected to the rotating disk 33 on the rotation locking assembly 30, wherein the angle of the top assembly 40 on the horizontal plane is adjustable when the rotating disk 33 is unlocked. The top assembly 40 specifically comprises a board and a member connected to the board, and will not be described in detail here.
In the above embodiment, through the rotary connection between the lift assembly 20 and the support base 10, the lift assembly 20 can be vertically supported or horizontally placed, achieving the lifting function while reducing the space occupation. Through the rotary connection between the top assembly 40 and the rotation locking assembly 30, the angle of the top assembly 40 can be adjusted, which is more ergonomic and can further reduce the space occupation during folding.
