[0002] The lifting column of the existing lifting table is provided with a switch on its side surface. The switch, as a protective part of the electrical appliance, plays a very important role in electrical safety and is related to the safety of the user. When the pipe fittings of the column are extended or retracted, they must avoid the switch. It is unrealistic to specially set an avoidance space on the pipe fittings, which is not advisable from the perspective of sealing or pipe strength. Therefore, the switch can only be set at the end of the column, so that the end where the switch is located and a part of the pipe fittings around it cannot overlap as the telescopic pipe fittings of the column, and the pipe fittings can only avoid the switch at the end at the expense of the stroke.

[0003] From the existing structural settings, under the same column length, the above-mentioned structure setting will shorten the column stroke. In order to ensure the stroke, the column length can only be forced to increase, which increases the cost. After increasing the column length, the minimum distance between the desktop and the ground will also increase, which cannot meet the requirements of being suitable for people of different body shapes and ages.
