[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] In the diagram, units with similar structures are represented by the same labels.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the first embodiment of this utility model provides a height-adjustable desk, including a desk panel 200 and a hand controller 100, with the hand controller 100 mounted on the desk panel 200. In the first embodiment of this utility model, combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the hand controller 100 includes a main body 1, a control module (not shown in the figure), a down button 21, an up button 22, and a child lock mechanism 3. The main body 1 is installed on the tabletop 200 of the height-adjustable table, and the control module, down button 21, up button 22, and child lock mechanism 3 are all located on the main body 1.

[0030] The main body 1 includes a mounting component 11 and a control component 12. The mounting component 11 is used to connect to the tabletop of the height-adjustable desk, allowing the entire hand controller 100 to be mounted onto the tabletop 200. The control component 12 is connected to one horizontal end of the mounting component 11. The control module is electrically connected to the down button 21 and the up button 22 to control the height of the tabletop 200. The down button 21 is located on the upper side of the control component 12 and spaced apart from the mounting component 11. When the down button 21 is pressed downwards, the control module controls the tabletop 200 to descend. The up button 22 is located on the lower side of the control component 12 and spaced apart from the mounting component 11. When the up button 22 is pressed upwards, the control module controls the tabletop 200 to rise.

[0031] By placing a lowering button 21 above and an raising button 22 below the control component 12, the user can lower the tabletop 200 by pressing and holding the lowering button 21 above, and raise the tabletop 200 by pressing and holding the raising button 22 below. This achieves a logically sound control method for the height-adjustable table, eliminating the need to look directly at the buttons and enabling blind operation. The simple structure effectively improves the user experience and ease of use. Simultaneously pressing and holding both the lowering button 21 and the raising button 22 allows for various combination key operations, such as reset, height memory, locking, or unlocking. Both the lowering button 21 and the raising button 22 are spaced apart from the mounting component 11, ensuring no interference with the connection between the mounting component 11 and the tabletop 200.

[0032] The control module can be installed inside the mounting component 11 or the control component 12, or it can be installed on other structures outside the main body 1. The control module can be electrically connected to the lifting drive device of the height-adjustable table, either via cable or wirelessly via Bluetooth, WiFi, or other means.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mounting component 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the tabletop 200. The mounting component 11 is fixed to the bottom surface of the tabletop 200 by screws. The control component 12 protrudes from the edge of the tabletop 200 in the horizontal direction so that the user can operate the down button 21 and the up button 22.

[0034] The edges of both the down button 21 and the up button 22 extend to the edge of the control element 12, and they are curved close to each other to cover most of the area of ​​the control element 12, resulting in a large button area for easy operation.

[0035] The upper surface of the lower button 21 is equipped with a display screen (not shown in the figure). The display screen is electrically connected to the control module and can display information such as the current height of the tabletop 200 and the lifting / lowering status for easy use.

[0036] Both the mounting component 11 and the control component 12 have a flat structure. The mounting component 11 is used to be installed parallel to the bottom surface of the tabletop 200. The control component 12 is tilted downwards to facilitate the user's pressing of the two buttons on the control component 12, and also to tilt the display screen to facilitate the user's viewing of the display content. It should be noted that when the user is not operating the height-adjustable table, the display screen is in a sleep state. When the user starts operating the height-adjustable table, the display screen starts up and displays the current status of the height-adjustable table, such as up / down movement and the current height of the tabletop from the ground. This design can reduce power consumption.

[0037] The child lock mechanism 3 is located on one side of the control component 12 in the horizontal direction and is used to control the locking and unlocking of the lowering button 21 and the raising button 22. Using the child lock mechanism 3, when the height of the adjustable table does not need to be adjusted, the lowering button 21 and the raising button 22 can be locked, preventing the user from adjusting the height of the table 200 by pressing them.

[0038] In this embodiment, the child lock mechanism 3 is designed as a toggle switch and electrically connected to the control module. Its toggle direction is the same as the arrangement direction of the control component 12 and the mounting component 11 (see...). Figure 2 Using a toggle switch, the circuit structure of the control module can be used to lock or unlock the two buttons, so that even if the user presses the two buttons, it will not trigger a down or up operation.

[0039] In other embodiments, the down button 21 and the up button 22 form a slit on the side of the control member 12 opposite to the mounting member 11. The child lock mechanism can be a toggle switch. When the toggle switch moves into the slit, it abuts against the down button 21 and the up button 22, preventing the down button 21 from moving downwards and the up button 22 from moving upwards, thereby locking the two buttons. Correspondingly, when the toggle switch moves out of the slit, the user can press the two buttons.

[0040] As another implementation, a mechanism may not be provided, and locking and unlocking may be achieved by using the cooperation of the down button 21 and the up button 22. For example, the user can pinch the control piece 12 and press the down button 21 and the up button 22 simultaneously for a certain period of time to lock or unlock.

[0041] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the second embodiment of the height-adjustable table provided by this utility model differs from the first embodiment mainly in the connection method between the mounting component 11 and the tabletop 200. The mounting component 11 includes a fixed part 111 and a movable part 112. The fixed part 111 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the tabletop 200, and the movable part 112 is connected to the control component 12. The movable part 112 is movably connected to the fixed part 111 to move between a first position and a second position. When the movable part 112 is in the first position (see...),... Figure 3 That is, the movable part 112 is located directly below the tabletop 200, and the control part 12 is located directly below the tabletop 200; when the movable part 112 moves to the second position (see... Figure 4 (This refers to the position where the control element 12 protrudes from the edge of the tabletop 200). In the horizontal direction, the control element 12 protrudes from the edge of the tabletop 200. By cooperating with the fixed part 111, the movable part 112 can be moved. When the height of the tabletop 200 needs to be adjusted, the control element 12 is moved out, protruding from the edge of the tabletop 200, so that the user can operate the up button 22 and the down button 21. When the height of the tabletop 200 does not need to be adjusted, the control element 12 can be moved in, hiding it under the tabletop 200 to avoid accidental operation.

[0042] More specifically, in this embodiment, the movable part 112 is horizontally slidably connected to the fixed part 111 so as to slide between a first position and a second position, thereby realizing the sliding in or out of the control member 12.

[0043] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the main difference between the hand controller 100 and the second embodiment of the height-adjustable table provided in the third embodiment of this utility model is that the movable part 112 is rotatably connected to the fixed part 111, so as to rotate between a first position and a second position, thereby realizing the rotation of the control member 12 in or out. Furthermore, the rotation axis of the movable part 112 can be vertical, and the user can make the movable part 112 rotate relative to the fixed part 111 by pushing the control member 12 horizontally.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, a charging port 13 can also be provided on one side of the movable part 112 in the horizontal direction. The charging port 13 is connected to the control module and is used to charge peripheral electronic devices for convenient use. When the movable part 112 is in the first position, the charging port 13 is located at the edge of the tabletop 200. That is, when the height does not need to be adjusted, the charging port 13 can be placed at the edge of the tabletop 200 for the user to charge.

[0045] This utility model provides a hand controller and a height-adjustable desk. By placing a lowering button at the top and an raising button at the bottom of the control unit, the user lowers the desk by pressing the upper lowering button and raises it by pressing the lower raising button. This logically sound control method eliminates the need to look directly at the buttons, enabling blind operation. The simple structure effectively improves user experience and ease of use. Simultaneously pressing both the lower and raising buttons allows for various combination key operations, such as reset, height memory, locking, or unlocking. The lowering and raising buttons are spaced apart from the mounting component, ensuring no interference with the connection between the mounting component and the desk.

[0046] In summary, although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, the above preferred embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
