The present invention relates to the technical field of office and study furniture, and particularly relates to a lifting desk.
With the popularity and development of computer technology, more and more people work or study through computers. Computers bring convenience to people's work and life, but also bring some negative effects to people. People start to use computers for a long time and sit in front of the computers for a long time, leading to frequent occurrence of occupational diseases such as cervical spondylosis and lumbar spondylosis. More and more people have put forward the concept of healthy office and study.
Studies have shown that if people sit and stand alternately to work, modern occupational diseases such as cervical spondylosis and lumbar spondylosis can be well prevented. Thus, lifting desks have emerged on the market to meet the needs of people sitting and standing alternately to work. However, these products generally have a complicated structure and involve high cost, and the existing enterprises need to eliminate the existing desks and replace them with the lifting desks, which not only wastes time and manpower, but also causes a big cost waste.
On this basis, a lifting desk has appeared on the market. The lifting desk can be used only if placed above the existing desk or above other support. Related office products such as a computer are placed on the lifting desk. When the sitting and standing postures are alternated for work, the height of the lifting desk is adjusted to adapt to the changes in human postures.
On the present market, the power components used in the lifting desk are almost gas springs or tension springs or other accessories, the magnitude of the lifting power of which is fixed and unadjustable, and they can only meet a fixed load range during design. For example, a lifting desk using gas springs as power components can automatically rise at a uniform speed within a designed load range by toggling a switch. However, when the load exceeds the design range, the lifting desk rises insufficiently and needs to be raised manually, so that the user experience is poor. The lifting desk using tension springs as power components rises automatically and quickly by toggling the switch when the desk load is insufficient, so that articles on a desk top fall and the desk is unsafe to be use. When the desk load is too heavy, the desk needs to be raised by a user, so that the user experience is poor.

As shown in
Specifically, as shown in
Further, as shown in
Specifically, if the fixed end of the tension spring 7 is closer to the desk support, the pull force is larger, and the bearable load is larger; on the contrary, the load that the tension spring 7 can bear is smaller.
Preferably, the distance adjusting device includes a tension spring fixing member 6 and an adjusting screw 5, wherein one end of the adjusting screw 5 passes through the desk support 2 and then is in threaded connection with the tension spring fixing member 6, and the other end is located outside the desk support 2 to facilitate adjustment.
More specifically, the tension spring fixing member 6 is a sheet metal member provided with a through hole in the sheet metal wall, and a nut matching the adjusting screw 5 is coaxially arranged on one side or two sides of the through hole.
Preferably, a retaining ring is arranged at an end of the adjusting screw 5 away from the desk support 2 to prevent the adjusting screw 5 from coming off.
Further, the tension spring fixing member 6 is provided with at least two first bending portions 61 for clamping the tension spring 7, and preferably, the two first bending portions 61 are arranged oppositely, that is, the two first bending portions 61 are bent toward a side close to each other, and the opposite two first bending portions 61 are inserted from two opposite sides of the tension spring 7 and clamped during installation, so that the tension spring 7 maintains the tension balance.
Further, as shown in
In order to ensure the lifting force on two sides of the lifting desk is same and facilitate user's adjustment, preferably, as shown in
In order to clearly see the current positions of the tension springs 7, the tension spring fixing members 6 are preferably colored, for example, green. In the initial state of the tension springs 7, only a green strip can be seen from the observation hole 22. As the tension spring fixing members 6 move, the green strip gradually fill the whole observation hole 22, and the foremost end of the green strip (the front end in the moving direction of the green strip) corresponds to the current gear.
The gear marks may be digital scales, patterns or texts, for example, digital scale logos; patterns of a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, etc., or patterns of color changes of different shades which represent different weights; or text prompts.
During the lowering process of the lifting desk, the pull force of the tension spring 7 gradually increases. When the lifting desk is lowered to a critical point, the balance of the force suddenly breaks. At this time, the tension spring 7 substantially loses the function as a buffer during lowering, and the desk top suddenly drops. In the lifting process of the lifting desk, the initial pull force may be insufficient, and the lifting is more laborious. In order to overcome the problems, further, as shown in
Preferably, the lower end of the first supporting portion is provided with a bend or a stopper matching with the second bending portion 121 to push the first torsion spring 12 to rotate.
When the lifting desk is used, it is lifted and lowered not only to the highest and lowest positions, but also to other different heights according to different users. To achieve the purpose, as shown in
Specifically, the locking device includes a handle 8, a pull wire (not shown), a latch box 9, a latch 17, and a spring baffle 14 sleeved outside the latch 17, wherein the handle 8 is articulated to the desk support 2 by a second articulated shaft, a second torsion spring is sleeved outside the second articulated shaft, one end of the second torsion spring abuts against the desk support 2, and the other end abuts against the handle 8 for providing a restoring force for the handle; the latch box 9 is fixed to the first slider 10, and can move together with the first slider 10; the latch 17 is arranged in the latch box 9, and one end of the latch 17 passes through the latch box 9 and the first slider 10 sequentially and then is inserted into the limiting hole 21; a spring 13 is sleeved on the latch 17, one end of the spring 13 abuts against the spring baffle 14 and can move together with the spring baffle 14, and the other end of the spring 14 is fixed; one end of the pull wire is connected with the handle 8, and the other end is connected to the latch 17 for pulling the latch 17 out of the limiting hole 21; when the latch 17 is pulled out, the spring baffle 14 moves together with the latch 17, and the spring 13 is compressed; and when the pull force of the latch 17 disappears, the spring 13 provides a restoring force for the latch 17.
In order to further reduce the sliding strokes of the first supporting portion 31 and the second supporting portion 32 when the lifting height of the desk top is constant, preferably, as shown in
In order to increase the structural strength of the lifting desk, preferably, as shown in
Further, the two legs 4 are connected by a connecting rod 15 to increase the structural strength.
Further, the two first sliders 10 are connected by a connecting rod 15, which not only increases the structural strength of the lifting desk, but also enables the two first sliders 10 to slide synchronously to prevent the desk top 1 from tilting.
In order to collect cables such as a power line and a data wire together, as shown in
Specifically, the first trough body and the second trough body are fixedly mounted at the bottom of the desk top 1 at a suitable distance, the protruding portions of the two trough bodies are staggered, that is, a protruding portion of one trough body extends between two adjacent protruding portions of the other trough body, a distance of at least one power line is reserved between the front end of the protruding portion and the other trough body, and a distance of at least one cable is reserved between the protruding portion extending between the two adjacent protruding portions of the other trough body and the two adjacent protruding portions, so that a sinuous communicating wire passage is formed between the first trough body and the second trough body. The cables such as a power line and a data wire can be directly wound into the wire collection trough 19 in use without considering the plug of the power line, so convenience is brought to the use.
When the pull force of the tension springs 7 needs to be adjusted, the distances between the tension spring fixing members 6 and the desk support 2 are adjusted, so that the tension springs 7 have the pull force adapted to a load. The distances between the tension spring fixing members 6 on two sides and the desk support 2 should be identical during adjustment. After the adjustment, the handle 8 is released, and the latche 17 is inserted into the limiting hole 21 to lock the current height of the lifting desk.
Preferably, the lifting desk is first lifted to the highest position, and then the distances between the fixed ends of the tension springs 7 and the desk support 2 are adjusted, because when the lifting desk is at the highest position, the tension springs 7 are not pulled open and bear a smaller force, which facilitates the adjustment of the screws.
As shown in
Preferably, the gear of the first torsion spring 12 corresponds to the gear of the tension spring 7, for example, the first gear of the tension spring 7 corresponds to the first gear of the first torsion spring 12, and the second gear of the tension spring 7 corresponds to the second gear of the first torsion spring 12. The one-to-one correspondence of the gears facilitates the adjustment. Or the first gear of the first torsion spring 12 corresponds to the first gear and the second gear of the tension spring 7, the second gear of the first torsion spring 12 corresponds to the third gear and the fourth gear of the tension spring 7, and so on, which facilitates the user's adjustment, so that the both can be adapted to the load.
Preferably, the two adjacent supporting platforms 202 are connected by a transition surface 203. Even if the end of the first torsion spring 12 abuts against the supporting platform 202, the gear can also be adjusted.
In the initial state, the adjusting knob 20 is at the lowest gear, that is, the end of the first torsion spring 12 abuts against the lowest supporting platform 202 during rotation, and at this time, the first torsion spring 12 corresponds to the initial position of the tension spring 7. As the desk load increases, the pull force of the tension spring 7 is adjusted by adjusting the distance between the fixed end of the tension spring 7 and the desk support 2, so that early-period lowering and late-period lifting of the lifting desk are kept stable and labor-saving. The torsion of the first torsion spring 12 is adjusted by rotating the adjusting knob 20 to buffer late-period lowering of the lifting desk and provide a lifting assistance for early-period lifting, so that the lifting desk is stable, labor-saving and safe in the process of lowering and lifting.
