Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric office furniture accessories, and in particular to a power adapter bracket and an electric lift table. Background Art

[0002] A lift table is an office desk with adjustable height, which can be adjusted according to a person's height, sitting posture, and standing posture. It generally includes an electric lift table and a manual lift table. The structure of the electric lift table in the related technology includes a table top, a base, a crossbeam, two liftable table legs, and a drive motor connected to the screw nut assembly in the two legs. The table top is connected to the top of the crossbeam, and the two ends of the crossbeam are respectively connected to support plates connected to the table top; the electric lift table also includes a controller and a hand controller. The controller is electrically connected to the hand controller and the drive motor respectively. The controller is connected to an external power supply through a power cord. Therefore, the electric lift table is generally equipped with a power adapter, that is, the power adapter is connected to the controller through wiring, and the power adapter is connected to the indoor socket through a power plug to draw power. During the lifting process of the table top, the power adapter rises and falls synchronously.

[0003] In related art electric lift tables, the power adapter is typically secured to the tabletop or crossbar via a bracket to prevent the adapter from shaking or disconnecting during lifting. For example, Chinese patent application number CN213464171U, entitled "A New Type of Automatic Lift Table with Lift Control," features an adapter bracket fixed to the crossbar, to which the power adapter is connected. Some other electric lift tables also feature a fixed bracket fixed to the bottom of the tabletop, to which the power adapter is connected.

[0004] The power adapter bracket of the electric lift table in the above-mentioned related technology has some shortcomings during actual use: after the table top of the electric lift table in the related technology is installed, the power adapter bracket is connected to the crossbeam, but due to the position limitation between the table top and the crossbeam, the power adapter bracket cannot be removed from the crossbeam at will; in other words, the power adapter bracket must be connected to the top of the crossbeam together with the table top, which is troublesome to install, and if the user forgets to install the power adapter bracket when assembling the table top, this will lead to the defect that the power adapter bracket cannot be installed later; in addition, the power adapter bracket of the related technology is only suitable for power adapters of one thickness, so it has poor versatility. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned related technologies and provide a power adapter bracket that does not need to be installed together with the table top, making installation simple and convenient, and can be disassembled and assembled at will and has strong versatility.

[0006] The technical solution of the present application is to provide a power adapter bracket with the following structure: comprising a bracket body, the bracket body comprising a receiving portion for placing the power adapter and an elastic connecting portion, the connecting portion being elastically clamped on the crossbeam of the electric lifting table.

[0007] In some embodiments, the connecting portion includes two elastic and spaced-apart connecting plates, a receiving cavity for accommodating the beam is formed between the two connecting plates, and a clamping plate extending toward the receiving cavity is provided at the free end of at least one of the connecting plates, an opening for the beam to be inserted into the receiving cavity is formed between the clamping plate and the free end of the other connecting plate, and the width of the opening is smaller than the width of the beam.

[0008] In some embodiments, the free ends of the two connecting plates are respectively provided with a clamping plate extending toward the accommodating cavity, and the opening is formed between the two clamping plates.

[0009] In some embodiments, the connecting portion includes a plug-in plate that is inserted into the gap between the beam and the table top of the electric lifting table. The plug-in plate is provided with an elastic clip extending along the thickness direction of the plug-in plate. When the plug-in plate is inserted into the gap from one side of the gap until the elastic clip exposes the beam, the elastic clip is elastically clipped to the beam.

[0010] In some embodiments, the plug board is connected to the top of the bracket body in a horizontal direction, and the plug board is provided with an elastic clip that extends downward in an oblique direction along the thickness direction of the plug board, and the two ends and one side of the elastic clip are set to be hollow between the plug board.

[0011] In some embodiments, the receiving portion and the connecting portion of the bracket body are an integrally formed structure.

[0012] In some embodiments, the accommodating portion includes a support plate connected to the bracket body, the outer side wall of the support plate extends upward along the height direction of the bracket body to form a baffle, and the baffle, the support plate and the bracket body are arranged to form the accommodating portion for placing the power adapter.

[0013] In some embodiments, the support plate is an elastic support plate, and a protrusion is provided on the support plate that protrudes toward the bracket body.

[0014] In summary, the power adapter bracket of the present application has the following advantages over the related art: the bracket body of the power adapter bracket has an elastic connection portion that can be elastically clipped onto the crossbeam of the electric lift table. Therefore, when installing the power adapter bracket, it is only necessary to elastically clip the connection portion onto the crossbeam of the electric lift table. There is no need to install the power adapter bracket together with the table top, nor is there any need to drill holes in the crossbeam for installation, making the installation process simpler and more convenient. In addition, the elastic connection portion can be freely disassembled and assembled with the crossbeam by utilizing its own elasticity, facilitating later maintenance and replacement. Furthermore, the elastic connection portion can be applied to crossbeams of different widths, and is highly versatile.

[0015] Another technical solution of the present application is to provide an electric lift table having the following structure, comprising a table top, a crossbeam, lift legs, and a drive motor, wherein the crossbeam is connected to a power adapter bracket described in any of the above embodiments. This electric lift table utilizes the above-described power adapter bracket, so when assembling the electric lift table, there is no need to install the power adapter bracket together with the table top, nor is there a need to drill holes in the crossbeam for installation, making the installation process simpler and more convenient. Furthermore, the elastic connection portion utilizes its inherent elasticity to allow for easy assembly and disassembly from the crossbeam, facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0027] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely used to explain the technical principles of the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application. Those skilled in the art may adjust them as needed to suit specific application scenarios.

[0028] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] In the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0030] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 4As shown; the embodiment of the present application discloses a power adapter bracket, which is used to be installed on the crossbeam 2 of an electric lift table and is used to place the power adapter 3 of the electric lift table, thereby supporting and accommodating the power adapter. The power adapter bracket includes a bracket body 4, which includes a accommodating portion 401 for placing the power adapter 3 and an elastic connecting portion 400, which is elastically connected to the crossbeam 2 of the electric lift table. When installing the power adapter bracket, it is only necessary to elastically connect the connecting portion 400 to the crossbeam 2 of the electric lift table. There is no need to install the power adapter bracket together with the table top 1, nor is there any need to drill holes in the crossbeam 2 for installation, making the installation process simpler and more convenient. The elastic connecting portion 400 can be freely disassembled and assembled with the crossbeam 2 due to its own elasticity, which facilitates later maintenance and replacement. Furthermore, the elastic connecting portion 400 can be applied to crossbeams 2 of different widths, and its versatility is strong.

[0032] It is not difficult to understand that, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the structure of the electric lift table includes a table top 1, a base 6, a beam 2, a driving motor and two lift table legs 5. The upper ends of the two lift table legs 5 are respectively connected to the two ends of the beam 2, and the lower ends of the two lift table legs 5 are respectively connected to the base 6. Support plates fixedly connected to the bottom of the table top 1 are also connected to both ends of the beam 2. Since the cross-section of the support plate is an L-shaped support plate, its horizontal bent plate is connected to the top of the beam 2. Therefore, after the table top 1 and the two support plates are connected by fasteners, there is a certain gap 100 between the bottom of the table top 1 and the top of the beam 2. The width of the gap 100 is generally greater than or equal to the thickness of the horizontal bent plate of the support plate.

[0033] It can be understood that the connecting part 400 is elastically clamped on the beam 2 of the electric lifting table. During installation, the connecting part 400 is elastically clamped on the beam 2, and at least a part of the connecting part 400 is located in the gap 100 between the above-mentioned table top 1 and the beam 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, the connecting part 400 includes two elastic and spaced connecting plates 402. An accommodation cavity 403 for accommodating the cross beam 2 is formed between the two connecting plates 402. At least one free end of the connecting plate 402 is provided with a clamping plate 404 extending towards the accommodation cavity 403. An opening 405 for the cross beam 2 to be inserted into the accommodation cavity 403 is formed between the clamping plate 404 and the free end of the other connecting plate 402, and the width of the opening 405 is smaller than the width of the cross beam 2. When installing this power adapter bracket, press down the opening 405 of the bracket body 4 from bottom to top and align it with the cross beam 2. This squeezing force causes the two elastic connecting plates 402 to open outwards until the clamping plate 404 at the free end of the connecting plate 402 is clamped in the gap 100 between the tabletop 1 and the cross beam 2, that is, the clamping plate 404 is clamped on the top of the cross beam 2, and the installation of the power adapter bracket is completed. The installation is simple and convenient; and when disassembling, just open the two connecting plates 402 outwards and make the clamping plate 404 disengage from the top of the cross beam 2, and the disassembly of the power adapter bracket can be easily completed.

[0035] Exemplarily, as Figure 4 shown in the figure, the connecting part 400 of the bracket body 4 includes two vertically arranged connecting plates 402. The free ends of the two connecting plates 402 are respectively provided with clamping plates 404 extending horizontally towards the accommodation cavity 403, and an opening 405 is formed between the two clamping plates 404. An accommodation cavity 403 communicating with the opening 405 and for accommodating the cross beam 2 is formed between the two connecting plates 402. It is easy to understand that the thickness of the clamping plate 404 is less than or equal to the width of the gap 100 between the tabletop 1 and the cross beam 2.

[0036] Further in this embodiment, the accommodation part 401 and the connecting part 400 of the bracket body 4 are of an integrally formed structure. The bracket body 4 is made of elastic plastic material, and its accommodation part 401 and connecting part 400 are integrally injection molded of plastic. The two connecting plates 402 of the connecting part 400 have good elastic deformation ability.

[0037] In other embodiments, the bracket body 4 of this power adapter bracket can also be of a steel structure, such as a spring steel plate with good elastic ability.

[0038] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4 shown in the figure, the accommodation part 401 of the bracket body 4 includes a support plate 406 connected to the bracket body 4. The outer side wall of the support plate 406 extends upwards along the height direction of the bracket body 4 to form a baffle 407, and the baffle 407, the support plate 406 and the bracket body 4 enclose to form an accommodation part 401 for placing the power adapter. Specifically in this embodiment, the accommodation part 401 is located on one side of the bracket body 4 or on one side of the connecting part 400. The baffle 407 and the support plate 406 are both integrally injection molded with the connecting part 400, and their overall cross-section is in the shape of an "L", which is convenient for placing or fixing the power adapter.

[0039] Power adapters of different sizes generally have different thicknesses. In order to make the power adapter bracket applicable to power adapters of various thicknesses, in some embodiments, see Figure 5 As shown, the support plate 406 of the accommodating portion 401 is elastic and has a protrusion 408 that projects toward the bracket body 4. Once the power adapter is placed within the accommodating portion 401, the protrusion 408 elastically compresses the power adapter, ensuring a more secure and stable connection. Furthermore, the elasticity of the support plate 406 allows for adjustable angles, accommodating power adapters of varying thicknesses and dimensions, providing enhanced versatility.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the connection portion 400 includes a plug-in board 409 that plugs into the gap 100 between the crossbeam 2 and the table top 1 of the electric lift table. The plug-in board 409 is provided with an elastic clip 410 that extends along the thickness of the plug-in board 409. When the plug-in board 409 is inserted into the gap 100 from one side until the elastic clip 410 is exposed from the crossbeam 2, the elastic clip 410 elastically snaps onto the crossbeam 2. In other words, when installing the power adapter bracket, the plug-in board 409 only needs to be inserted from one side of the gap 100 between the table top 1 and the crossbeam 2 until the elastic clip 410 is exposed from the other side of the crossbeam 2, and then the elastic clip 410 snaps onto the side of the crossbeam 2 opposite the side where it was inserted.

[0041] Specifically in this embodiment, the plug board 409 is connected to the top of the bracket body 4 in the horizontal direction, and the plug board 409 is integrally formed with an elastic clip 410 that extends downward in the thickness direction of the plug board 409. The elastic clip 410 forms an inclined component that can be smoothly introduced into the gap 100, that is, the elastic clip 410 is arranged to be inclined downward from top to bottom in the opposite direction of the plug board 409 being inserted into the gap 100. In other words, the elastic clip 410 has an inverted structure. When the elastic clip 410 passes through the gap 100 and is engaged with the side wall of the beam 2, the plug board 409 can be restricted from being separated from the beam 2; when removing the power adapter bracket, it is only necessary to compress the elastic clip 410 so that the elastic clip 410 is located in the gap 100 between the beam 2 and the table top 1 and is not engaged with the side wall of the beam 2.

[0042] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, under normal conditions, the distance from the lower end of the elastic clip 410 to the top of the plug-in board 409 is greater than or slightly greater than the width of the gap 100 between the table top 1 and the beam 2. In order to facilitate the smooth insertion of the plug-in board 409 into the gap 100 and to improve the elastic deformation of the elastic clip 410, the two ends of the elastic clip 410 and the space between one side and the plug-in board 409 are set to be hollow.

[0043] Another embodiment of the present application discloses an electric lift table. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electric lift table comprises a table top 1, a crossbeam 2, lift legs 5, and a drive motor. The crossbeam 2 is connected to a power adapter bracket according to any of the above-described embodiments. When assembling the electric lift table, there is no need to install the power adapter bracket along with the table top 1, nor is there any need to drill holes in the crossbeam 2 for installation, making the installation process simpler and more convenient. Furthermore, the elastic connection portion 400 utilizes its inherent elasticity to allow for easy assembly and disassembly from the crossbeam 2, facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0044] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that in the description of the present application, terms such as "inside" and "outside" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.
