[0031] A first sliding groove 9 in the length direction is arranged on the housing 4, and a second sliding groove 10 is arranged on the diagonal brace 5, specifically, the second sliding groove 10 is arranged in the length direction of the diagonal brace 5 and at a position close to the lower end of the diagonal brace 5.
[0032] Among them, the switch is a micro switch 11. The micro switch 11 is only one way of signal detection, and the switch can also be a photoelectric switch, an infrared switch, etc.
[0033] The anti-pinch structure also has a fixed table top 2 fixed on the table frame, the flip table top 3 can also be hinged to the fixed table top 2, the electric push rod can also be installed on the fixed table top 2, and the housing 4 can also be installed on the fixed table top 2.
[0034] In order to facilitate understanding, the flip of the flip table top 3 is now defined, the flip table top 3 is hinged to the table frame or the fixed table top 2, forming a swinging relationship, when the flip table top 3 swings upward and forms a certain angle with the table frame or the fixed table top 2, it is called upward flip, and when the flip table top 3 swings downward and is flush with the table frame or the fixed table top 2, it is called downward flip.
[0035] The number of the inclined support rods 5 is two, and the two inclined support rods 5 are symmetrically distributed on the two sides of the shell 4. The number of the column pins 8 is two, and the two column pins 8 are symmetrically distributed on the two sides of the screw nut 14. The number of the first sliding grooves 9 is two, and each of the first sliding grooves 9 is arranged at the position corresponding to the inclined support rod 5 on the length direction of the shell 4 and is used for the horizontal movement of the column pin 8. The first sliding groove 9 and the second sliding groove 10 are both waist-shaped grooves. The back of the turnover table top 3 is fixed with the inclined support rod mounting seat 12, and the upper end of the inclined support rod 5 is mounted on the inclined support rod mounting seat 12.
[0036] The driving assembly comprises the motor 1 and the speed reducer 7. The first output shaft in the motor 1 is provided with a worm through a shaft coupling. The second output shaft in the speed reducer 7 is provided with a worm wheel engaged with the worm for transmission at one end, and is provided with a driving bevel gear at the other end. The screw rod 6 is provided with a driven bevel gear engaged with the driving bevel gear for rotation at one end. After the motor 1 is started, the first output shaft drives the worm to rotate through the shaft coupling. The worm drives the worm wheel to rotate through the transmission. The rotating worm wheel drives the second output shaft to rotate. The rotating second output shaft drives the driving bevel gear to rotate. The driving bevel gear drives the driven bevel gear to rotate through the transmission. Finally, the driven bevel gear drives the screw rod 6 to rotate. The micro switch 11 is connected to the control box and controls the motor 1 to rotate in the reverse direction through the signal.
[0037] The lower end of the inclined support rod 5 is connected to the screw nut 14 through the column pin 8 sequentially penetrating the second sliding groove 10 and the first sliding groove 9. A switch is arranged on the inclined support rod 5 near the lower end of the second sliding groove 10. The switch is electrically connected to the driving assembly. When the turnover table top 3 is lowered and clamped to an obstacle, the turnover table top 3 is supported by the obstacle and cannot continue to be turned down. At this time, the screw nut 14 is driven by the driving assembly to continue to move, drives the column pin 8 to move along the second sliding groove 10 and triggers the switch. The switch transmits a control signal to the control box, and then the driving assembly is turned off. That is, the switch electrically connected to the control box is arranged on the inclined support rod 5. When the driving assembly drives the turnover table top 3 to be lowered and encounters an obstacle, the column pin 8 moves along the second sliding groove 10 and triggers the switch. The switch transmits a signal to the control box, and the control box controls the motor 1 to rotate in the reverse direction.
[0038] Of course, in addition to this, the anti-pinch structure of the present application can also adopt the following structure: for example, the sliding groove can be arranged on the screw nut 14, and the column pin 8 is fixedly connected with the inclined support rod 5. After encountering resistance, the column pin 8 slides in the sliding groove of the screw nut 14.
[0039] The back of the turnover table top 3 is also provided with a locking assembly 13. The locking assembly 13 comprises a latch 131, a return spring 132 and a mounting seat 133. The mounting seat 133 is fixed on the back of the turnover table top 3 through a bolt fastener. The return spring 132 is arranged between the latch 131 and the mounting seat 133. The return spring 132 is used for resetting the latch 131.
[0040] When the flip-top table 3 is lowered to the target position, the screw nut 13 continues to move to push the latch 131 of the locking assembly 13 out to the back of the fixed table 2, that is, when the flip-top table 3 is lowered to zero, the screw nut 13 continues to move until the top pin outside the screw nut 13 touches the latch 131 of the locking assembly 13 and pushes it out to the back of the fixed table 2.
[0041] It should be noted that the lead screw 6, screw nut 14, micro switch 11, locking assembly 13, motor 1, speed reducer 7, shaft coupling, worm, worm gear, driving bevel gear and driven bevel gear are all common parts on the market, which are standard parts and can be directly purchased on the market.
[0042] See Figures 2-6 The working principle of the anti-pinch electric flip-top table structure is:
[0043] The principle of the flip-top table 3 is: the motor 1 is started to drive the lead screw 6 to rotate, the lead screw 6 rotates to drive the screw nut 14 to move to the left, the screw nut 14 moves to the left to synchronously drive the two end pins 8 to move to the left along the corresponding first sliding groove 9, at this time, the end pin 8 provides an upward thrust to the inclined support rod 5, the flip-top table 3 is raised from zero to a flipped state.
[0044] The principle of the flip-top table 3 is: the motor 1 is started to drive the lead screw 6 to rotate, the lead screw 6 rotates to drive the screw nut 14 to move to the right, the screw nut 14 moves to the right to synchronously drive the two end pins 8 to move to the right along the corresponding first sliding groove 9, since the second sliding groove 10 is arranged on the inclined support rod 5, the flip-top table 3 is always pressed at the upper edge of the second sliding groove 10 under the action of its own weight, the end pin 8 continues to move to the right along the corresponding first sliding groove 9, when the flip-top table 3 is about to become a zero-degree state, the end pin 8 twists the inclined support rod 5 upward, the end pin 8 moves from the upper end of the second sliding groove 10 to the lower end of the second sliding groove 10, and finally the end pin 8 is pressed on the moving spring leaf of the micro switch 11. When the moving spring leaf is moved to the critical point, it produces instantaneous action, so that the moving contact at the end of the moving spring leaf is quickly connected with the fixed contact. When the top pin outside the screw nut 14 touches the latch 131 of the locking assembly 13, the latch 131 is pushed out to the back of the fixed table 2, at which time the locking function of the locking assembly 13 is realized, the flip-top table 3 is locked by the locking assembly 13 when it is at zero degrees, thereby avoiding the risk of lifting the flip-top table 3, when the flip-top table 3 needs to be raised, the screw nut 14 is first moved to the left to open the locking assembly 13, and then the screw nut 14 continues to move to the left to drive the flip-top table 3 to flip.
[0045] The anti-pinch electric turnover desktop structure is provided with a second sliding groove 10 arranged at a position close to the lower end of the inclined support rod 5 along the length direction of the inclined support rod 5, and a micro switch 11 arranged on the inclined support rod 5 close to the lower end of the second sliding groove 10. When the turnover desktop 3 is returned to the critical point about to become zero degrees and encounters a foreign object, the column pin 8 moves along the upper end of the second sliding groove 10 to the lower end of the second sliding groove 10, and finally the column pin 8 triggers the micro switch 11, so that the control motor 1 reverses the rotation, effectively avoiding the risk of pinching the fingers or clothes of the user or other foreign objects during the return process of the turnover desktop 3. In addition, the locking assembly 13 cooperating with the screw nut 14 is installed on the other side of the back of the turnover desktop 3 relative to the hinged side. After the turnover desktop 3 is lowered to zero degrees, the screw nut 14 continues to move. When the external thimble of the screw nut 14 touches the latch 131 of the locking assembly 13, the latch 131 is pushed out and inserted into the back of the fixed desktop 2. At this time, the locking function of the locking assembly 13 is realized, that is, the turnover desktop 3 is locked by the locking assembly 13 when it is zero degrees, so that the turnover desktop 3 is more stable in the horizontal state, effectively avoiding the risk of lifting the plate of the turnover desktop 3.
[0046] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacements or changes to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
