Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a synchronously height-adjustable table, belonging to the field of daily necessities. Background Technology

[0002] Children use desks of different heights at different ages as they grow up, which requires desks to be height-adjustable. In addition, people often work in front of computers for several hours at a time, and prolonged sitting can be harmful to the body. For the sake of health, people need to switch between standing and sitting postures when using computers, which requires the height of the office desk to be easily adjustable. Traditional office desks and study desks do not have height adjustment functions.

[0003] Currently, the main height adjustment methods for manually adjustable height desks include linkage structure adjustment, gear and rack adjustment, worm gear and screw drive combination adjustment, and bevel gear and screw drive combination adjustment. Among these, the linkage structure adjustment only has two or three states, failing to achieve stepless height adjustment and thus failing to meet the needs of different users. The other adjustment methods in current market generally involve each leg being equipped with an identical lifting device to achieve synchronous height adjustment. For example, Chinese patent CN215532428U discloses a height-adjustable desk that uses a drive box to drive a transmission shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the bevel gears of each leg to rotate, thereby driving the screw mechanism of each leg to achieve height adjustment. Chinese patent CN215685550U discloses a multi-leg synchronous height-adjustable desk that uses a DC motor to transmit rotation to a pair of bevel gears, which in turn transmit to a transmission rod, which drives the height adjustment mechanism of each leg to achieve synchronous height adjustment. The structures used in these drive methods are relatively complex, resulting in high manufacturing and maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that existing synchronous lifting tables have complex structures, high manufacturing costs, and high maintenance costs.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is as follows: a synchronous lifting table, including legs and a desktop, the legs having an inverted T-shaped structure and being spaced apart at the lower end of the desktop, and also including a drive shaft, a soft rope, and a rotation drive device. The legs include an upper support and a lower support, with the lower support inserted into and slidably connected to the upper support. The upper end of the upper support is connected to the lower end of the desktop. The drive shaft is located in one side of the lower support, and the upper part of the drive shaft is threadedly connected to the lower support. The rotation drive device drives the drive shaft to rotate, and the upper end of the drive shaft extends into the upper support and contacts the lower end of the desktop. The lower end of the drive shaft is connected to one end of the soft rope. A guide pin is provided on the upper part of the lower support on the other side, and a connecting pin is provided on the lower end of the upper support on the other side. The other end of the soft rope passes through the lower end of the lower support on the other side, goes around the guide pin, and is connected to the connecting pin.

[0006] The aforementioned rotating drive device includes a bevel gear box, a bevel gear driven shaft, and a bevel gear drive shaft. The bevel gear box is located in the middle of the lower support with the transmission shaft. The bevel gear driven shaft and the bevel gear drive shaft are rotatably mounted inside the bevel gear box, and one end of the bevel gear driven shaft and the bevel gear drive shaft is provided with a meshing bevel gear. The bevel gear driven shaft is arranged along the length of the support leg. The transmission shaft is slidably connected to the bevel gear driven shaft and rotates together with the bevel gear driven shaft.

[0007] Furthermore, the bevel gear driven shaft in the above-mentioned device is provided with a connecting hole in the axial direction, and the transmission shaft passes through the connecting hole, so that the transmission shaft is slidably connected to the bevel gear driven shaft and rotates together with the bevel gear driven shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting hole in the above device is a polygonal hole structure, and the lower part of the drive shaft is an adaptable structure, with the lower part of the drive shaft passing through the connecting hole in the middle of the bevel gear driven shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the conical gear box in the above-mentioned device includes a detachably connected conical gear box cover and a conical gear box base.

[0010] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned device, the end of the bevel gear drive shaft extends out of the bevel gear box and is provided with a drive unit.

[0011] In the aforementioned device, the transmission shaft is provided with an external thread in the middle, and the upper end of the lower bracket located on the same side of the transmission shaft is provided with a matching internal thread. The transmission shaft passes through the lower bracket and is threadedly connected to the lower bracket.

[0012] In the aforementioned device, the upper end of the drive shaft is connected to the desktop plate via a thrust ball bearing.

[0013] In the aforementioned device, the legs are connected by a connecting pipe, and pins are provided at both ends of the connecting pipe, so that the soft rope, away from the drive shaft end, passes around the pin and guide pin and then connects to the connecting pin.

[0014] In the aforementioned device, the connecting pin is disposed on the inner wall of the upper bracket, and the side wall of the lower bracket is provided with a strip-shaped hole arranged along the axial direction, with the end of the connecting pin passing through the strip-shaped hole.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: the device has a simple structure and is convenient and efficient to operate. The input rotational motion is achieved by the extended end of the rotating bevel gear drive shaft, which transmits the rotational motion to the drive shaft via bevel gear transmission. The spiral motion of the drive shaft then achieves the lifting and lowering of the desktop, and the self-locking function of the spiral transmission prevents the upper support from automatically descending. This transmission method is convenient, smooth, and the height is controllable. Simultaneously, the transmission structures of the main and driven legs are connected by a soft rope, and the synchronous movement of the main and driven legs is achieved using the lifting transmission device and the weight of the desktop, resulting in the overall smooth lifting and lowering of the desktop.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the synchronous lifting table of the present invention includes legs and a desktop 3. The legs are inverted T-shaped and spaced apart at the lower end of the desktop 3. It also includes a drive shaft 8, a soft rope 9, and a rotation drive device. The legs include an upper support 2 and a lower support 1, with the lower support 1 inserted into and slidably connected to the upper support 2. The upper end of the upper support 2 is connected to the lower end of the desktop 3. The drive shaft 8 is disposed in one side of the lower support 1, and the upper part of the drive shaft 8 is threadedly connected to the lower support 1. The rotation drive device drives the drive shaft 8 to rotate. The upper end of the drive shaft 8 extends into the upper support 2 and contacts the lower end of the desktop 3. The lower end of the drive shaft 8 is connected to one end of the soft rope 9. A guide pin 20 is provided on the upper part of the lower support 1 on the other side, and a connecting pin 19 is provided on the lower end of the upper support 2 on the other side. The other end of the soft rope 9 passes through the lower end of the lower support 1 on the other side, goes around the guide pin 20, and is connected to the connecting pin 19. Those skilled in the art will understand that in this structure, the drive shaft 8 is housed inside the lower support 1 on one side. Therefore, it is preferable that both the upper support 2 and the lower support 1 are tubular structures, with the lower support 1 inserted into and slidably connected to the upper support 2. The upper end of the upper support 2 is connected to the lower end of the desktop 3, and the upper end of the drive shaft 8 extends into the upper support 2 and contacts the lower end of the desktop 3. Since the rotation drive device drives the drive shaft 8 to rotate, and the upper part of the drive shaft 8 is threadedly connected to the lower support 1, the drive shaft 8 actually moves in a spiral motion, thus directly acting on the desktop 3 to achieve its lifting and lowering. At the same time, the lower end of the drive shaft 8 is connected to one end of the soft rope 9, and the other end of the soft rope 9 passes through the lower end of the lower support 1 on the other side, passes around the guide pin 20, and is connected to the connecting pin 19. This allows the soft rope 9 to be pulled when the drive shaft 8 rises in a spiral motion, thereby causing the upper support 2 on the side away from the drive shaft 8 to rise synchronously, and vice versa.

[0026] Preferably, the rotation drive device in the above-mentioned device includes a bevel gear box, a bevel gear driven shaft 7, and a bevel gear drive shaft 13. The bevel gear box is disposed in the middle of the lower support 1 on which the transmission shaft 8 is provided. The bevel gear driven shaft 7 and the bevel gear drive shaft 13 are rotatably disposed in the bevel gear box, and one end of the bevel gear driven shaft 7 and the bevel gear drive shaft 13 is provided with a meshing bevel gear. The bevel gear driven shaft 7 is arranged along the length direction of the support leg. The transmission shaft 8 is slidably connected to the bevel gear driven shaft 7 and rotates together with the bevel gear driven shaft 7. Those skilled in the art will understand that, in order to facilitate the movement of the drive shaft 8, the preferred rotational drive device of this device includes a bevel gear box, a bevel gear driven shaft 7, and a bevel gear drive shaft 13.

The bevel gear driven shaft 7 and the bevel gear drive shaft 13 are rotatably set in the bevel gear box. Specifically, the bevel gear driven shaft 7 is vertically set in the bevel gear box through radial ball bearings A10 and B11, while the bevel gear drive shaft 13 is horizontally set in the bevel gear box through angular contact ball bearings A14 and B15. The outer side of the angular contact ball bearing B is limited by a retaining ring 18, and the outer rings of the angular contact ball bearings A14 and B15 are in contact with the adjusting sleeve 17 extending into the conical shape to avoid wear on the bevel gear box. At the same time, the outer side is fixed by the end cover 16. In fact, the end of the bevel gear drive shaft 13 extends out of the end cover 16, which is the rear drive part. Furthermore, bevel gear driven shaft 7 and bevel gear drive shaft 13 are provided with meshing bevel gears at one end. In fact, rotating bevel gear drive shaft 13 can drive bevel gear driven shaft 7 to rotate. In fact, bevel gear driven shaft 7 is arranged along the length of the support leg. Drive shaft 8 is slidably connected to bevel gear driven shaft 7 and rotates together with bevel gear driven shaft 7, so that bevel gear driven shaft 7 drives drive shaft 8 to rotate.
