[0008] In an example of the present application, the locking piece has a third inclined surface, and the connecting piece is provided with a connecting block, which is connected with the third inclined surface.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by the technical scheme are as follows: the locking piece has a stepped structure, is convex in the middle and is concave on both sides, the third inclined surface is located at the concave part, and the third inclined surface is close to the second through hole, the shape of the second through hole is matched with the connecting block, in the present embodiment, the shape of the second through hole is square, and then the connecting block can easily slide into the third inclined surface, the connecting block and the third inclined surface are conveniently connected, are accurately installed, and the installation efficiency is improved.

[0010] In an example of the present application, the locking piece is provided with a second mounting hole, and correspondingly, the profiled cross beam is provided with a third through hole, and the second mounting hole and the third through hole are connected through a second screw.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by the technical scheme are as follows: the second mounting hole is arranged on the protruding part of the locking piece, correspondingly, the profiled cross beam is provided with a third through hole, the second screw is matched with the second mounting hole and the third through hole, the second screw enters the third through hole and the second mounting hole in sequence, the locking piece and the profiled cross beam can be connected through the second screw, the locking piece is limited, the locking piece and the profiled cross beam are stably connected, and the locking piece is not prone to displacement.

[0012] In an example of the present application, the profiled cross beam is provided with a hollow structure, and the hollow structure comprises: a first hollow part, which is provided with a fourth through hole; and a second hollow part, which is provided with a fifth through hole, the fourth through hole corresponds to the fifth through hole, and the locking piece is installed in the second hollow part.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by the technical scheme are as follows: the locking piece can be fixed in the second hollow part through the first screw and the second screw, the fourth mounting hole and the fifth mounting hole are also used for installing screws, the locking piece can be further fixed, the axial and radial directions of the locking piece are effectively fixed, and then the locking piece is more stable in the second hollow part and is not prone to displacement and falling.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the locking member is provided with a third mounting hole, and the fourth through hole, the third mounting hole and the fifth through hole are connected by a third screw.

[0015] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: the third mounting hole corresponds to the positions of the fourth through hole and the fifth through hole, and the third screw enters the fourth through hole, the fifth through hole and the third mounting hole in sequence, thereby further fixing the locking part, making it more stable in the profile beam. After the connector and the locking part are connected, the connection between the column and the profile beam is more stable, improving the rigidity of the product.

[0016] In one embodiment of the invention, the connector is installed on the column, and the locking member is installed inside the profile beam on the side near the connector.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: a column is connected to two profile beams, and a connector is installed on the top of the column and between the column and the two profile beams. When the locking component is connected to the connector, the profile beam is connected to the column, and the connector is in close contact with the profile beam. This enhances the stability of the connection between the profile beam and the column. Furthermore, the locking component is installed inside the profile beam on the side closest to the connector. The locking component only needs to be placed at the ends of the profile beam, making it easy to connect the connector and the locking component. The installation is quick and efficient.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the technical advantages of this solution are as follows: the shapes of the surfaces of the profile beam and the locking element are matched. When the first and second screws move towards the locking element, the second inclined surface comes into contact with the first inclined surface to achieve engagement, resulting in a tight connection between the locking element and the profile beam, minimizing gaps and preventing displacement of the locking element. Furthermore, the curved shapes of the first and second inclined surfaces facilitate the insertion of the locking element into the profile beam, reducing frictional resistance and allowing the locking element to slide into the profile beam, making installation quicker and more time- and labor-saving.

[0020] In one embodiment of the invention, when the first screw moves toward the locking member, the second inclined plane moves toward the first inclined plane, and the connecting member moves toward the profile beam to lock the column and the profile beam.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: When the first screw moves toward the locking member, the connecting member moves toward the profile beam, and then the column moves toward the profile beam. The connecting member moves until it is in close contact with the profile beam, and the first screw achieves the effect of fixing the connecting member and the profile beam. At this time, the first inclined surface is in close contact with the second inclined surface, and the connecting block of the connecting member engages with the third inclined surface of the locking member, further fixing the connecting member. The locking member pulls the profile beam and the column tight, thereby limiting the position of the column and the profile beam, reducing the gap between the column and the profile beam, making the connection more stable, improving rigidity, and enhancing the stability of the product.

[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, the connector is a gearbox, which is inserted into one end of the column near the profile beam.

[0023] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this technical solution are as follows: The table provided by this invention is a height-adjustable table. A gearbox contains gears, which control the height of the table. A groove is provided at the top of the column, and the gearbox is inserted into the groove. First through holes are provided on both sides of the gearbox. A first screw passes through the first through hole and enters the first mounting hole, thereby connecting the gearbox to the locking member inside the profile beam.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a table, including a column 10; a profile beam 20, the profile beam 20 having a first inclined surface 21, the column 10 and the profile beam 20 being connected by a locking assembly 30; the locking assembly 30 including a connector 40 and a locking member 50, the connector 40 and the locking member 50 being connected by screws, the locking member 50 having a second inclined surface 51, the first inclined surface 21 and the second inclined surface 51 being interlocked.

[0036] Specifically, profiles are objects with a certain geometric shape made of iron or steel, or other materials with a certain strength and toughness, through processes such as rolling, extrusion, and casting. These materials have fixed external dimensions, a specific cross-sectional shape, and certain mechanical and physical properties. Therefore, using profiles as the crossbeams of a table ensures the table's rigidity, and their cross-sectional shape facilitates the installation of locking components 50 inside.

[0037] For details, see Figure 1 The connector 40 is installed on the top of the column 10, and is positioned between the column 10 and the profile beam 20. The connector 40 is compatible with the profile beam 20, and the connector 40 is in close contact with the profile beam 20. See also... Figure 6 The locking component 50 is compatible with the profile beam 20. The locking component 50 is installed inside the profile beam 20. The connector 40, the profile beam 20 and the locking component 50 can be connected by screws. The connection method is simple and quick.

[0038] For details, see Figure 4 and Figure 5Locking elements 50 are installed at both ends of the profile beam 20. Each locking element 50 is a long, block-shaped locking block that fits into the profile beam 20. The profile beam 20 has a accommodating space, allowing the locking blocks to be installed inside. The first inclined surface 21 of the profile beam 20 abuts against the locking element 50, and the second inclined surface 51 of the locking element 50 abuts against the profile beam. The first and second inclined surfaces 21 fit together. When the locking element 50 and the connecting piece 40 are tightened with screws, the inclined surface structure increases the contact area between them, making the structure more robust. The first and second inclined surfaces 21 are in close contact, thus tightening the profile beam 20 and the connecting piece 40, and further tightening the profile beam 20 and the column 10 to reduce gaps between them, resulting in greater stability and increased overall product rigidity. Furthermore, the above-mentioned connection method uses screw connections, which is simple to assemble and makes the installation of the column 10 and the profile beam 20 more convenient and quick.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connector 40 has a first through hole 41 on both sides, the profile beam 20 has a second through hole 22, and the locking member 50 has a first mounting hole 52. The first through hole 41, the first mounting hole 52 and the second through hole 22 are connected by a first screw 100.

[0041] Specifically, based on Embodiment 1, the first screw 100 is adapted to the first through hole 41, the first mounting hole 52, and the second through hole 22. The first screw 100 enters the first through hole 41, the second through hole 22, and the first mounting hole 52 in sequence. Through the first screw 100, the connector 40 and the locking member 50 can be connected. The locking member 50 is installed inside the profile beam 20, and then the connector 40 is connected to the profile beam 20. The connector 40 is close to the profile beam 20, and the connection gap between the two is small. The connector 40 is installed on the column, and then the column 10 is connected to the profile beam 20. The column 10 and the profile beam 20 are close to each other, reducing the gap between the two. The connection is simple and quick, the structure is simple, and it is easy to implement.

[0042] Example 3:

[0043] See Figure 4 and Figure 7 The locking member 50 has a third inclined surface 53, and the connecting member 40 is provided with a connecting block 42, which is engaged with the third inclined surface 53.

[0044] Specifically, based on Embodiment 2, the locking member 50 has a stepped structure with a convex center and recessed sides. The third inclined surface 53 is located in the recessed area. The third inclined surface 53 is square and close to the second through hole 22. The shape of the second through hole 22 is adapted to the connecting block 42. In this embodiment, the shape of the second through hole 22 is square, so the connecting block 42 can easily slide into the third inclined surface 53, which facilitates the connection between the connecting block 42 and the third inclined surface 53, enabling precise installation and improving installation efficiency.

[0045] For further details, please see below. Figure 3 The first through hole 41 is provided on the connecting block 42, so that the first screw 100 can further fix the connecting block 42 and the locking member 30, resulting in better stability.

[0046] Specifically, the surface in contact with the third inclined surface 53 of the connecting block 42 is square. The connecting block 42 is located on both sides of the connector 40 near the second through hole 22, which facilitates the connection of the connecting block 42 and the third inclined surface 53, thereby facilitating the connection of the connector 40 and the profile beam 20.

[0047] Furthermore, the connecting block 42 and the connecting piece 40 are integrally formed, which makes production and processing easier.

[0048] Example 4:

[0049] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The locking member 50 is provided with a second mounting hole 54, and correspondingly, the profile beam 20 is provided with a third through hole 23. The second mounting hole 54 and the third through hole 23 are connected by a second screw 200.

[0050] Specifically, based on Embodiment 3, the second mounting hole 54 is provided on the protruding part of the locking member 30. Correspondingly, the profile beam 20 is provided with a third through hole 23. The second screw 200 is adapted to the second mounting hole 54 and the third through hole 23. The second screw 200 enters the third through hole 23 and the second mounting hole 54 in sequence. Through the second screw 200, the locking member 50 can be connected to the profile beam 20 and the locking member 50 can be limited, so that the connection between the locking member 50 and the profile beam 20 is stable and the locking member 50 is not easy to shift.

[0051] Example 5:

[0052] See 5 and Figure 6 The profile beam 20 is provided with a hollow structure 60, which includes: a first hollow part 61, which is provided with a fourth through hole 24; a second hollow part 62, which is provided with a fifth through hole 25, the fourth through hole 24 and the fifth through hole 25 corresponding to each other, and a locking member 50 installed on the second hollow part 62.

[0053] For details, see Figure 3 The locking element 50 is installed on both sides of the profile beam 20. The profile beam 20 is hollow inside, providing a space for the locking element 50 to be inserted into it. Furthermore, the shape of the locking element 50 is identical to the shape of the second hollow portion 62 in cross-section, allowing the locking element 50 to be easily inserted into the second hollow portion 62, facilitating its installation. The locking element 50 is manufactured according to the structural shape characteristics of the profile beam 20, resulting in higher product adaptability.

[0054] Specifically, the first hollow portion 61 is provided with two fourth through holes 24, and the second hollow portion 62 is provided with two fifth through holes 25. The locking member 50 can be fixed inside the second hollow portion 62 by the first screw 100 and the second screw 200. The fourth through holes 24 and fifth through holes 25 are also used to install screws, further securing the locking member 30. This effectively fixes the locking member 50 both axially and radially, making it more stable within the second hollow portion 62 and less prone to displacement or falling off.

[0055] Example 6:

[0056] See Figures 3 to 5 The locking member 50 is provided with a third mounting hole 55, and the fourth through hole 24, the third mounting hole 55 and the fifth through hole 25 are connected by a third screw 300.

[0057] Specifically, based on Embodiment 5, the top of the locking member 50 is provided with two third mounting holes 55, which correspond to the positions of the fourth through hole 24 and the fifth through hole 25. The third screw 300 enters the fourth through hole 24, the fifth through hole 25 and the third mounting hole 55 in sequence, thereby further fixing the locking member 50 and making it more stable in the profile beam 20. After the connecting member 40 is connected to the locking member 50, the connection between the column 10 and the profile beam 20 is more stable, improving the rigidity of the product.

[0058] Example 7:

[0059] See Figure 3 The connector 40 is installed on the column 10, and the locking part 50 is installed inside the profile beam 20 on the side near the connector 40.

[0060] Specifically, one column 10 is connected to two profile beams 20. A connector 40 is installed on the top of the column 10 and positioned between the column 10 and the two profile beams 20. When the locking member 50 is connected to the connector 40, the profile beams 20 are connected to the column 10, and the connector 40 is in close contact with the profile beams 20. This strengthens the stability of the connection between the profile beams 20 and the column 10. The locking member 50 is installed inside the profile beams 20 on the side closest to the connector 40. The locking member 50 only needs to be placed at the ends of the profile beams 20, making it easy to connect the connector 40 and the locking member 50. The installation is quick and efficient.

[0061] Example 8:

[0062] See Figures 3 to 5 The first inclined surface 21 is arc-shaped, and correspondingly, the second inclined surface 51 is arc-shaped, so that the first inclined surface 21 and the second inclined surface 51 abut against each other.

[0063] Specifically, the shapes of the surfaces of the profile beam 20 and the locking member 50 that abut against each other are compatible. When the first screw 100 and the second screw 200 move towards the locking member 50, the second inclined surface 51 comes into contact with the first inclined surface 21 to achieve engagement, thus ensuring a tight connection between the locking member 50 and the profile beam 20, minimizing gaps and preventing the locking member 50 from shifting. Furthermore, the first inclined surface 21 and the second inclined surface 51 are arc-shaped, making it easier to insert the locking member 50 into the profile beam 20, reducing frictional resistance, and allowing the locking member 50 to slide into the profile beam 20, resulting in quick installation and saving time and effort.

[0064] Example 9:

[0065] See Figures 3 to 5 When the first screw 100 moves toward the locking member 50, the second inclined surface 51 moves toward the first inclined surface 21, and the connecting member 40 moves toward the profile beam 20 to lock the column 10 and the profile beam 20.

[0066] Specifically, based on Embodiment 2, when the first screw 100 moves toward the locking member 50, the connecting member 40 moves toward the profile beam 20, and then the column 10 moves toward the profile beam 20. The connecting member 40 moves until it is in close contact with the profile beam 20, and the first screw 100 achieves the effect of fixing the connecting member 40 and the profile beam 20. At this time, the first inclined surface 21 is in close contact with the second inclined surface 51. See also... Figure 7The connecting block 42 of the connector 40 engages with the third inclined surface 53 of the locking member 50, further fixing the connector 40. The locking member 50 pulls the profile beam 20 and the column 10 together to limit the position of the column 10 and the profile beam 20, reducing the gap between the column 10 and the profile beam 20, making the connection more stable, improving rigidity, and enhancing the stability of the product.

[0067] Example 10:

[0068] See Figure 3 The connector 40 is a gearbox, which is inserted into one end of the column 10 near the profile beam 20.

[0069] Specifically, based on Embodiment 1, the present invention provides a height-adjustable table. A gearbox contains gears to control the table's height. A groove 11 is provided at the top of the column 10, and the gearbox is inserted into the groove 11. First through holes 41 are provided on both sides of the gearbox. Referring to Figure 4, a first screw 100 passes through the first through hole 41 and enters the first mounting hole 52, thereby connecting the gearbox to the locking member 50 inside the profile beam 20. The gearbox is installed at the top of the column 10, thus connecting the column 10 and the profile beam 20. Through the locking member 50, the connection between the column 10 and the profile beam 20 is tighter, with smaller gaps, making the connection structure more stable and further enhancing the product's rigidity.

[0070] Furthermore, the column 10 is a height-adjustable column, including two nested tubes and a screw and nut assembly. The screw is fixedly connected to one of the tubes, and the nut is fixedly connected to the other tube. The input end of the gearbox is driven by a power component such as a motor, and the output end of the gearbox is driven by the screw, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the column 10. This makes the table provided by the present invention more widely applicable and more universal.

[0071] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
