Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electric furniture technology, and more specifically, to a lifting device. Background Technology
[0002] An electric height-adjustable desk is a type of office desk that can be adjusted in height according to the user's height, sitting posture, or standing posture. The structure of an electric height-adjustable desk generally includes a tabletop, crossbeam, base, height-adjustable column, and motor. The motor is located outside the column and drives a rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the lifting mechanism inside the column, thus raising or lowering the column. Height adjustment of this type of desk is typically controlled by a manual switch and a software-based control box to control the motor's movement. These desks are relatively expensive.
[0003] To reduce costs, some publicly available technologies have proposed solutions that directly use position switches to control the height adjustment of the lifting table, such as connecting the position switches directly to the inner wall of the column. However, this solution requires additional tools and screws and is relatively difficult to install, resulting in low assembly efficiency for electric lifting tables. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting plate also includes a second connecting piece disposed at the bottom end of the plate body. The second connecting piece is disposed at an angle to the plate body. The bottom of the lead screw has a connecting post and a stop portion connected to the connecting post. The diameter of the connecting post is smaller than the diameter of the lead screw. The stop portion protrudes from the side wall of the connecting post. The second connecting piece is sleeved on the outside of the connecting post and stops and cooperates with the stop portion.
[0012] Furthermore, the second connecting piece includes a first piece connected to the bottom end of the plate body and a second piece stacked and snapped together with the first piece.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the lifting device in this embodiment includes: a lifting frame 10, a first support member 20, a second support member 30, a drive mechanism 40, and a stroke assembly 60. The first support member 20 and the second support member 30 are spaced apart and disposed on the bottom surface or inner side of the lifting frame 10. The first support member 20 includes a first leg and a second leg that is positionally adjustable and cooperates with the first leg. The second leg is connected to the lifting frame 10. The second support member 30 includes a third leg and a fourth leg that is positionally adjustable and cooperates with the third leg. The fourth leg is connected to the lifting frame 10. The drive mechanism 40 includes a motor assembly 41 connected to the second leg and a lead screw 42 that drives the motor assembly 41. A nut assembly 50 that is transmissionally cooperates with the lead screw 42 is fixed on the first leg. The stroke assembly 60 includes a mounting plate 61 and an upper position switch 62 and a lower position switch 63 spaced apart on the mounting plate 61. The top end of the mounting plate 61 is connected to the motor assembly 41, and the nut assembly 50 is located between the upper position switch 62 and the lower position switch 63. The lead screw 42 rotates relative to the nut assembly 50 to drive the second and fourth legs to rise and fall, and to give the nut assembly 50 an upper limit position that engages with the upper position switch 62 and a lower limit position that engages with the lower position switch 63. This prevents the second leg from exceeding the limit range and avoids damage to the internal structure of the leg.
[0036] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the travel assembly 60 includes a mounting plate 61 and an upper position switch 62 and a lower position switch 63 spaced apart on the mounting plate 61. The top end of the mounting plate 61 is connected to the motor assembly 41, and the nut assembly 50 is located between the upper position switch 62 and the lower position switch 63. The motor assembly 41 drives the lead screw 42 to rotate, and the lead screw 42 can rotate relative to the nut assembly 50 to drive the second and fourth legs to rise and fall. The rising and falling of the second leg can drive the lifting frame 10 to rise and fall, and give the nut assembly 50 an upper limit position that engages with the upper position switch 62 and a lower limit position that engages with the lower position switch 63. Thus, since the upper position switch 62 and the lower position switch 63 can be pre-installed on the mounting plate 61 to form a travel assembly 60, the travel assembly 60 can be directly assembled onto the motor assembly 41 without separately installing the upper position switch 62 and the lower position switch 63 onto the first leg, making the installation of the travel assembly 60 convenient and improving the assembly efficiency of the lifting device. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment can solve the problem of low assembly efficiency of electric height-adjustable tables in related technologies. The aforementioned lifting device is preferably a height-adjustable table.
[0037] It should be noted that the nut assembly 50 being located between the upper position switch 62 and the lower position switch 63 means that the nut assembly 50 can not only move within the area formed by the upper position switch 62 and the lower position switch 63, but also that when the nut assembly 50 is in the upper position switch 62, the center of the nut assembly 50 and the center of the upper position switch 62 can be on the same horizontal line, and when the nut assembly 50 is in the lower limit position, the center of the nut assembly 50 and the center of the lower position switch 63 can be on the same horizontal line.
[0038] It should also be noted that the lifting table is in its highest state when the nut assembly 50 is in its lower limit position, and in its lowest state when the nut assembly 50 is in its upper limit position. That is, the distance between the top surface of the lifting frame of the lifting table and the ground when it is in its highest state is greater than the distance between the top surface of the lifting frame of the lifting table and the ground when it is in its lowest state.
[0039] In this embodiment, the lifting frame 10 may consist only of a crossbeam, with the second leg connected to the inner side of the crossbeam and the fourth leg connected to the inner side of the crossbeam. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the lifting frame may consist only of a tabletop, with the second leg connected to the bottom surface of the tabletop and the fourth leg connected to the bottom surface of the tabletop. The lifting frame may also include a tabletop and a crossbeam, with the crossbeam located at the bottom of the tabletop, and the second and fourth legs connected to the crossbeam.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the first leg is the first inner tube 21, the second leg is the first outer tube 22, which is adjustablely fitted outside the first inner tube 21, the third leg is the second inner tube 31, and the fourth leg is the second outer tube 32, which is adjustablely fitted outside the second inner tube 31. In this way, the first inner tube 21 and the first outer tube 22 are nested together to prevent the first outer tube 22 from tilting during lifting. Simultaneously, the second inner tube 31 and the second outer tube 32 are nested together to prevent the second outer tube 32 from tilting during lifting. To make the lifting device compact, the mounting plate 61 passes through the nut assembly 50 and the first inner tube 21. Furthermore, the first inner tube 21 protects the mounting plate 61, preventing the upper position switch 62 and the lower position switch 63 on the mounting plate 61 from being exposed to the outside of the lifting device and causing interference.
[0041] Of course, in the embodiment shown in the figure, the first leg can be a first support rod, the second leg can be a second support rod, the third leg can be a third support rod, and the fourth leg can be a fourth support rod. A first guide structure is provided between the first support rod and the second support rod, with a first sliding groove and a first slider providing a guiding fit; a second guide structure is provided between the third support rod and the fourth support rod, with a second sliding groove and a second slider providing a guiding fit.
[0042] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the nut assembly 50 includes a nut 51 and a frame 52 surrounding the nut 51. The frame 52 is fixed inside the first inner tube 21, and the mounting plate 61 is located between the inner side of the frame 52 and the outer side of the nut 51. A trigger element 53 is provided on the nut 51. In order for the nut assembly 50 to have an upper limit position that triggers with the upper position switch 62 and a lower limit position that triggers with the lower position switch 63, the trigger element 53 can trigger with both the upper position switch 62 and the lower position switch 63.
[0043] Specifically, the frame 52 includes a surrounding plate surrounding the nut 51 and a connecting rib disposed between the outer side wall of the nut 51 and the inner side wall of the surrounding plate, so that the nut 51 can be stably located within the frame 52.
[0044] like Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the trigger 53 includes a first inclined portion 531 and a second inclined portion 532 connected to the outer wall surface of the nut 51. The bottom of the first inclined portion 531 protrudes from the top of the first inclined portion 531 and engages with the upper position switch 62. Thus, as the upper position switch 62 on the mounting plate 61 rises with the first outer tube 22, the contact of the upper position switch 62 gradually contacts the top to the bottom of the first inclined portion 531, so that the first inclined portion 531 is completely pressed against the contact of the upper position switch 62, thereby effectively triggering the upper position switch 62 and stopping the nut assembly 50 at the upper limit position. The top of the second inclined portion 532 protrudes from the bottom of the second inclined portion 532 and engages with the lower position switch 63. As the first outer tube 22 descends, the contacts of the lower position switch 63 on the mounting plate 61 gradually contact each other from the bottom to the top of the second inclined section 532, so that the second inclined section 532 is completely pressed on the contacts of the lower position switch 63, thereby effectively triggering the lower position switch 63 and stopping the nut assembly 50 at the lower limit position.
[0045] like Figure 6 and Figure 11 As shown, the nut assembly 50 also includes a connecting plate 54 connected to the opening of the frame 52. The mounting plate 61 passes through the nut assembly 50 and the first inner tube 21. To allow the nut assembly 50 to avoid the mounting plate 61, the connecting plate 54 is provided with a clearance hole 55 to avoid the mounting plate 61. Simultaneously, to allow the mounting plate 61 to move along a predetermined track during the lifting and lowering process with the first outer tube 22, the clearance hole 55 is guided to engage with the mounting plate 61. The mounting plate 61 includes a plate body 611 and guide ribs 612 provided on the side wall of the plate body 611. The wall of the clearance hole 55 is provided with a guide groove 551 that guides and engages with the guide ribs 612. Thus, the guide ribs 612 and the guide groove 551 can form a predetermined track, preventing deflection and making the lifting and lowering of the mounting plate 61 more stable, thereby increasing the stability of the lifting device.
[0046] like Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, the mounting plate 61 includes a plate body 611 and a first connecting piece 613 disposed at the top of the plate body 611. To facilitate the connection of the first connecting piece 613 to the top of the motor assembly 41, the first connecting piece 613 is angled relative to the plate body 611, and is connected to the top of the motor assembly 41 via a positioning structure 70. In this way, the first connecting piece 613 can be correctly installed on the top of the motor assembly 41 via the positioning structure 70, improving installation efficiency.
[0047] In this embodiment, specifically, the positioning structure 70 includes a boss on the top of the motor assembly 41 and a positioning hole in the first connecting piece 613. The boss is aligned with the positioning hole, so that the first connecting piece 613 and the top of the motor assembly 41 can be installed in place without the need for screws, which effectively improves the installation efficiency between the motor assembly 41 and the mounting plate 61.
[0048] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the mounting plate 61 also includes a second connecting piece 614 disposed at the bottom end of the plate body 611. To facilitate the connection between the second connecting piece 614 and the bottom of the lead screw 42, the second connecting piece 614 is angled to the plate body 611. The bottom of the lead screw 42 has a connecting post 421 and a stop portion 422 connected to the connecting post 421. The diameter of the connecting post 421 is smaller than the diameter of the lead screw 42, and the stop portion 422 protrudes from the side wall of the connecting post 421. The second connecting piece 614 is sleeved on the connecting post 421 and engages with the stop portion 422. Thus, the stop portion 422 stops the second connecting piece 614, preventing the second connecting piece 614 from moving downwards and detaching from the bottom of the lead screw 42.
[0049] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 as well as Figure 12 As shown, the second connecting piece 614 includes a first piece 6141 connected to the bottom end of the plate body 611 and a second piece 6142 stacked and snapped together with the first piece 6141. This design simplifies the structure of the first piece 6141 and the second piece 6142, making assembly easier. The first piece 6141 is fitted onto the outside of the connecting post 421 and has a first notch for the connecting post 421 to pass through. The second piece 6142 is fitted onto the outside of the connecting post 421 and has a second notch for the connecting post 421 to pass through. This allows the connecting post 421 to pass through both the first piece 6141 and the second piece 6142, thus restricting the radial movement of the second connecting piece 614 along the connecting post 421. Simultaneously, the stop portion 422 stops the second piece 6142, preventing the second connecting piece 614 from moving downwards along the axial direction of the connecting post 421.
[0050] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 as well as Figure 12As shown, the first notch includes a first circular hole segment 61411 that mates with the connecting post 421 and a first through segment 61412 that connects the first circular hole segment 61411 to the outside of the first piece 6141. The width of the first through segment 61412 is smaller than the diameter of the first circular hole segment 61411. This allows the first piece 6141 to pass directly from the outside of the connecting post 421 through the first through segment 61412 and the first circular hole segment 61411, allowing it to fit over the connecting post 421, facilitating assembly and eliminating the need to fit the first piece 6141 over the connecting post 421 from bottom to top. The second notch includes a second circular hole segment 61421 that mates with the connecting post 421 and a second through segment 61422 that connects the second circular hole segment 61421 to the outside of the second piece 6142. The width of the second through segment 61422 is smaller than the diameter of the second circular hole segment 61421. In this way, the second piece 6142 can directly pass through the second through section 61422 and the second circular hole section 61421 from the outside of the connecting post 421, allowing the second piece 6142 to be fitted over the connecting post 421, which facilitates assembly and eliminates the need to fit the second piece 6142 over the connecting post 421 from bottom to top. Furthermore, since the first piece 6141 is provided with a first locking platform 61413 that engages within the second through section 61422, and the second piece 6142 is provided with a second locking platform 61423 that engages within the first through section 61412, it is convenient to stack and snap the first piece 6141 and the second piece 6142 together, resulting in a more compact structure. At this time, the second connecting piece 614 is connected to the bottom of the lead screw 42 without screws, and the first connecting piece 613 is connected to the top of the motor assembly 41 without screws. Consequently, the mounting plate 61 is connected to the motor assembly 41 and the lead screw 42 without screws. The above installation method is simple to operate, making the lifting device very convenient to assemble and disassemble, and the cost is also low.
[0051] like Figure 8 and Figure 12As shown, to ensure a more secure connection between the second through segment 61422 and the first locking platform 61413, and a more secure connection between the first through segment 61412 and the second locking platform 61423, the sidewalls of both the first locking platform 61413 and the first through segment 61412 gradually expand from the inside of the first piece 6141 to the outside of the first piece 6141. Similarly, the sidewalls of both the second locking platform 61423 and the second through segment 61422 gradually expand from the inside of the second piece 6142 to the outside of the second piece 6142. In this way, as the first locking platform 61413 is inserted into the second through section 61422 from the outside of the first piece 6141 to the inside of the first piece 6141, the side wall of the first locking platform 61413 and the side wall of the second through section 61422 are pressed together more and more tightly, ensuring the locking effect of the first locking platform 61413 into the second through section 61422. Similarly, the locking effect of the second locking platform 61423 into the first through section 61412 is also ensured.
[0052] like Figures 3 to 11 As shown, to facilitate easy energization of both the upper position switch 62 and the lower position switch 63, the travel assembly 60 also includes a circuit board 64 connected to the mounting plate 61. Both the upper position switch 62 and the lower position switch 63 are connected to the circuit board 64. Figures 9 to 12 As shown, in order to facilitate the handling of the second connecting piece 614, the outer wall surface of the second connecting piece 614 is provided with a lug structure 6143. Specifically, there are multiple lug structures 6143, a portion of which is disposed on the first piece 6141, and another portion of which is disposed on the second piece 6142.
[0053] like Figures 1 to 5 , Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the motor assembly 41 includes a fixed frame 411, a motor 412, and a gear transmission structure 413.

[0055] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is generally based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.
[0056] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0057] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this invention.
[0058] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
