Abstract

This invention relates to a mechanism for driving a tabletop lifting mechanism. The mechanism comprises a liftable tabletop positioned between two symmetrically arranged vertical supports. One side is a lifting drive support, and the other side is a lifting driven support. The two sides form a synchronous transmission structure through connecting rods, preventing tilting and maintaining horizontal stability during tabletop lifting. A spring energy storage device is installed outside the support shaft. A torsion spring coil accumulates elastic torque during tabletop lifting and releases the stored energy during reverse lifting to provide auxiliary power, making the lifting operation more effortless and smooth. This invention improves the stability of the lifting mechanism and reduces electricity costs, thus enhancing the usability and cost-saving practicality of tabletop lifting.

Each lifting bracket is connected to both sides of the tabletop. A drive shaft is symmetrically arranged inside each fixed bracket of the lifting drive bracket and the lifting driven bracket. A connecting rod that allows synchronous shaft rotation is bridged between the two drive shafts. Each drive shaft has a first drive section, which is a shaft assembly connecting a first sprocket and a second sprocket. A chain meshes between the first sprocket and the second sprocket, and a connecting member is fixed at a predetermined position on the chain, so that each connecting member is correspondingly assembled on both sides of the lifting bracket opposite to the tabletop. The drive shaft of the lifting drive bracket further includes a second drive section, which is a shaft-driven support shaft.
