[0039] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. To better illustrate this embodiment, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0040] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a non-planar modular desktop system includes a table body 1, a module base group 2 connected to the table body 1, a cover assembly including a monitor cover assembly 4 and a keyboard cover assembly 5, a controller 6 installed on the front edge of the table body 1, and an electrical wiring system 7 arranged below the table body 1.

[0043] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the module base group 2 includes a standard module base and a dedicated module base. The standard module base can be equipped with different functional modules according to the user's personal preferences, and the standard functional modules include various functional module interfaces. Functional modules can be laptop functional modules, landline telephone functional modules, mobile phone stand functional modules, charging modules, etc., and users can replace the functional modules on the standard module base as needed to cope with different usage scenarios. In this embodiment, the standard module base includes a first module base 21, a second module base 22, a third module base 24, and a fourth module base 25, which respectively install laptop functional modules, landline telephone functional modules, mobile phone stand functional modules, and charging modules; the dedicated module base includes a keyboard base 23 and a monitor base 26. The positions of each module base can be arranged on the desktop 19 according to the customer's usage habits. In this embodiment, the keyboard base 23 is located at the center of the front edge of the table body 1, the standard module bases are arranged in a row in the middle of the table body 1, and the monitor base 26 is located at the rear of the table body 1.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the table body 1 includes a tabletop 19. The tabletop 19 has slots or notches that are adapted to each module base. In this embodiment, a keyboard base notch 13 is provided in the middle of the front edge of the tabletop 19. Two sizes and four standard module bases are provided in the middle position, which are, from left to right, the first module base slot 11, the second module base slot 12, the third module base slot 14 and the fourth module base slot 15. A display module base slot 16 is provided at the back of the tabletop 19.

[0045] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the first module base 21 includes a first base body 211 with a notch on the front, a first guide rail 212 arranged on both sides of the first base body 211 and fixedly connected to the desktop 19, a limiting boss connected below the first guide rail 212, a first slider 213 fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom plate of the first base body 211 and slidably connected to the first guide rail 212, a first electric push rod seat 214 fixedly connected to the lower rear of the bottom plate of the first base body 211, a first electric push rod 215 fixedly fixed on the first electric push rod seat 214, and the top of the first electric push rod 215 fixedly connected to the bottom of the desktop 19 through an L-shaped connector.

[0046] The components and connections of the second module base 22, the third module base 24, and the fourth module base 25 are the same as those of the first base 21. The dimensions of each module base are slightly different, and the positions may also be modified according to user needs, which will not be described in detail here.

[0047] The keyboard base 23 differs from the first base 21 in that the keyboard base body is a flat plate structure, including a base plate, and the keyboard electric actuator is connected to the side of the keyboard base.

[0048] The difference between the display base 26 and the first base 21 is that the display base body is a flat plate structure, including a base plate.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the monitor cover assembly 4 includes a monitor cover that is adapted to the monitor module slot 16. The monitor cover is hinged to the desktop 19 via an automatic reset hinge, allowing the monitor cover to rotate relative to the table body 1.

[0050] like Figure 7 , 8As shown, the keyboard cover assembly 5 includes a keyboard cover plate 51 adapted to the keyboard base notch 13, and a concave groove slide rail assembly 54 fixed to the back of the desktop 19. The concave groove slide rail assembly 54 includes left and right concave groove slide rails of the same shape. The left and right concave groove slide rails are arranged along the left and right sides of the keyboard cover plate 51 and are staggered front and back. Their front ends correspond to the left front end and right rear end of the keyboard cover plate 51, respectively. The front ends of the left and right concave groove slide rails are downward curved arc tracks to guide the keyboard cover plate 51 to slide downward, and the middle and rear ends are horizontal tracks. The left front end and right rear end of the keyboard cover plate 51 are respectively fixedly connected to L-shaped sliders 53. The upper end of the L-shaped sliders 53 is fixedly connected to the keyboard cover plate 51, and the lower end is slidably connected to the concave groove slide rail assembly 54. The bottom end of the keyboard cover assembly electric push rod 52 is hinged to the support 17, and the top end is hinged to the rear of the keyboard cover plate 51.

[0051] When the keyboard cover assembly 5 needs to be closed, the controller 6 controls the keyboard cover assembly electric push rod 52 of the keyboard cover assembly 5 to be energized and extend, pushing the keyboard cover 51 to slide forward along the concave groove slide rail assembly 54. Since the left and right concave groove slide rails are staggered and correspond to the left front end and right rear end of the keyboard cover 51 respectively, the forward and backward movement of the keyboard cover 51 is kept synchronized, that is, the keyboard cover 51 is kept horizontally rising until it is closed. The inclined design of the inclined surface 18 ensures that the keyboard cover assembly 5 does not interfere with the desktop 19 during the rising and falling process.

[0052] like Figure 9 As shown, the electrical wiring system 7 includes cable drag chains and cable drag chains 71. The cable drag chains are arranged in the cable drag chains 71. The cable drag chains are divided into horizontal and vertical parts. The horizontal cable drag chains 711 are arranged in a T-shape on the back of the desktop 19. The left and right horizontal parts of the horizontal cable drag chains 711 are arranged between the rear module bases, and the front and rear horizontal parts extend to the side of the keyboard base 23. The vertical cable drag chains 712 extend downward from the horizontal cable drag chains near each module base to the bottom of each module base.

[0053] The controller 6 is electrically and signal connected to each module base through the electrical wiring system 7, and is used to control the lifting and lowering of each module motor and the centralized control function module.

[0054] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0055] like Figure 1As shown, when not in operation, the controller 6 is operated, and the electric push rods of each module base of the control module base group 2 are energized and extended, thereby driving each module base of the control module base group 2 to slide downward, so that the control module base group 2 is hidden under the desktop 19; when the monitor base 26 descends to the appropriate position, the monitor cover assembly 4 is automatically closed by the automatic reset hinge; the keyboard base 23 and the keyboard cover assembly 5 are linked and controlled. When the keyboard base 23 descends to the position, the controller 6 controls the electric push rod 52 of the keyboard cover assembly 5 to be energized and extended, pushing the keyboard cover 51 to slide forward along the concave groove slide rail group 54 until it is closed; at this time, the desktop is flat.

[0056] like Figure 10 As shown, during operation, the corresponding module base is selected, and the controller 6 is operated. The controller 6 controls the electric push rod of the corresponding module base to retract, thereby driving the module base to slide upward and extend the corresponding module base out of the desktop 19. When the monitor base 26 rises, it will push the monitor cover assembly 4 to rotate backward. When it is necessary to open the keyboard base 23, the keyboard base 23 and the keyboard cover assembly 5 are controlled in a coordinated manner. The controller 6 first controls the electric push rod 52 of the keyboard cover assembly 5 to retract, pushing the keyboard cover 51 to slide backward along the concave groove slide rail assembly 54 until it is fully opened. Then the controller 6 controls the keyboard base 23 to rise or fall to the appropriate position.

[0057] The cable drag chain is a chain structure with multiple links hinged together, which can adapt to frequent movement of the module base; the drag chain cable has high toughness and wear resistance, and can maintain good performance and long service life in environments with frequent bending and movement; the self-resetting hinge has a built-in spring, which can automatically reset. The cable drag chain, drag chain cable and self-resetting hinge are all prior art and are not related to the inventive point of this utility model, and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] Example 2:

[0059] like Figure 11 , 12As shown, in this second embodiment, the other structures remain unchanged, except that: the standard module base 21A is driven to lift using a spring self-locking assembly; the spring 215A is sleeved on the guide rail 212A and installed between the slider 213A and the bottom limiting boss of the guide rail 212A; a guide groove 217 is provided on the back of the standard module base body 211A, the guide groove 217 includes a heart-shaped segment and a straight segment, the lower end of the heart-shaped segment is connected to the straight segment, the locking hook 218 is hinged to the back of the table body 1 and rotates left and right relative to the standard module base body 211A, the hook of the locking hook 218 is slidably connected to the guide groove 217, in this embodiment, the locking hook 218 slides clockwise along the guide groove 217, and the heart-shaped segment has several anti-return bosses at the point where the locking hook 218 can slide back. In this embodiment, anti-return bosses 2171, 2172, 2173 and 2174 are sequentially provided on the heart-shaped segment.

[0060] Work process: such as Figure 11 As shown, the standard module base 21A is in the closed state at this time. When it is necessary to open the standard module base 21A, press the top of the standard module base 21A with your hand to make it slide downward. Under the pushing action of the check boss 2172, the locking hook 218 deflects to the right and contacts the upper right of the heart-shaped segment. When you release your hand, due to the obstruction of the check boss 2173, the locking hook 218 cannot deflect back and can only slide along the rightmost side of the guide groove 217 relative to the guide groove. The standard module base body 211A slides upward under the elastic force of the spring 215A until the locking hook 218 contacts the lowest end of the straight segment. At this time, the position of the standard module base body 211A is restricted by the locking hook 218. When it is necessary to close the final function module, press the top of the standard module base 21A with your hand. The standard module base 21A slides downward. Due to the obstruction of the check boss 2174, the locking hook 218 deflects to the left side of the heart-shaped segment until it can no longer be pressed. At this time, the locking hook 218 contacts the upper left of the heart-shaped segment. Then release your hand. Under the pushing force of the check boss 2171, the locking hook 218 moves to the concave part above the heart-shaped segment, and the position of the standard module base 21A is restricted. Figure 12 As shown.

[0061] Example 3:

[0062] like Figure 13 As shown, in this third embodiment, the other structures remain unchanged, except that: the longitudinal section of the standard module base 21B is fan-shaped, and the rear edge of the top surface of the standard module base 21B is hinged to the table body 1; one end of the electric push rod 215B is hinged to the rear of the standard module base body 211B near the lower edge, and the other end is hinged to the table body 1.

[0063] Work process: such as Figure 13As shown, the standard module base 21B is in the closed state at this time. When it is necessary to open the standard module base 21B, the controller 6 is operated. The controller 6 controls the electric push rod 215B to extend and push the electric push rod 215B to rotate, thereby extending it onto the table body 1.

[0064] Example 4:

[0065] like Figure 14 As shown, in this fourth embodiment, the other structures remain unchanged, except that: a monitor bracket is fixedly connected to the monitor base, the monitor bracket includes a base 91, a support rod 92 is hinged to the base 91 and can rotate relative to the base 91, and a cross-shaped connecting frame 93 is hinged to the top of the support rod 92 and can rotate up and down relative to the base 91.

[0066] When in operation, the monitor is fixed on the cross-shaped connector 93. Since the support rod 92 can rotate left and right relative to the base 91, and the cross-shaped connector 93 can rotate up and down relative to the base 91, the angle of the monitor can be adjusted 360°.
