[0047] The following will refer to Figures 1 to 12 to illustrate the working principle of the present invention.

[0048] Locking working principle of the table board:

[0049] The tabletop frame 1, the tabletop upper shell 2, the tabletop lower shell 3, the link structure 4, and the angle adjustment mechanism 5 are assembled into a tabletop assembly. During the flipping process of the tabletop assembly, the tabletop frame 1 drives the angle adjuster 50 to rotate around the rotation shaft 52, and the rotation shaft 52 drives the transmission part 54 to move. When the large claw 55 is engaged with the ratchet wheel 541 under the drive of the large claw spring 552, the first plane 561 of the dial 56 contacts the bottom surface of the large claw 55, and the rotation shaft 52 is in a locked state. The tabletop frame 1 and the rotation shaft 52 are in a fixed state, thereby realizing the hovering of the tabletop assembly.

[0050] The unlocking working principle of the tabletop:

[0051] During the flipping process of the tabletop assembly, the button 58 is exposed on the tabletop upper shell 2 or the tabletop lower shell 3. After pressing the button 58, the button 58 drives the dial 56 to rotate. The first arc surface 562 of the dial 56 flips up to lift the large claw 55, and the large claw 55 leaves the ratchet wheel 541. At this time, the ratchet wheel 541 is unlocked, and the tabletop assembly can continue to be adjusted up or down at will. At the same time, after the second plane 563 rotates, it abuts against the inner surface of the small claw 59. Under the drive of the small claw spring 591, the small claw 59 and the second plane 563 are stationary, and the dial 56 is in a locked state to prevent the dial 56 from automatically rotating back; pressing the button 58 again can make the rotation shaft 52 in a locked state, realizing the hovering of the tabletop assembly.

[0052] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
