[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] Reference Figures 1-9A desktop connector includes a top portion 1 and an under portion 2 for abutting against the back of a desktop. When the desktop connector is installed on the desktop, the top portion 1 is positioned above the desktop, and the under portion 2 is positioned below the desktop. The top portion 1 and the under portion 2 are connected by a connector, meaning that after the desktop connector is installed on the desktop, the desktop is clamped between the top portion 1 and the under portion 2.

[0036] The tabletop portion 1 includes a first component for fitting against the front of the tabletop and a second component for connecting external components. The first and second components are separate, and the first and second components are fixedly connected to each other to form the tabletop portion.

[0037] The advantages of dividing the tabletop into two parts are: ① To connect external components via the tabletop, the shape is usually quite complex. If the tabletop is molded as a single piece, the molding process would be extremely complicated. However, dividing the tabletop into two parts makes the molding process much simpler. ② To ensure the connection strength with external components, the tabletop is usually made of aluminum alloy, which is costly. However, by dividing the tabletop into two parts, the first part, which is responsible for connecting to the tabletop, can be made of materials such as iron, while the second part, which is responsible for connecting to external components, can be made of materials with better strength, such as aluminum alloy, which can save on manufacturing costs to a greater extent.

[0038] In one embodiment, in order to enable the first component to fit better with the desktop, the first component is a desktop plate 3; while the second component is in the form of a desktop cylinder 4, that is, the second component is cylindrical and has an inner cavity, which facilitates connection with external components (such as the support body of an electronic device bracket).

[0039] In one embodiment, a pre-positioning mechanism is provided between the tabletop 3 and the tabletop cylinder 4. After the tabletop 3 and the tabletop cylinder 4 are pre-positioned by this pre-positioning mechanism, they are then fixedly connected by the fixing member, which makes the connection between the tabletop 3 and the tabletop cylinder 4 more convenient. The structure of the pre-positioning mechanism can be varied. For example, the pre-positioning mechanism includes a positioning recess 5 on the tabletop 3 and a positioning protrusion 6 on the tabletop cylinder 4, with the positioning protrusion 6 embedded in the positioning recess 5; or, the pre-positioning mechanism includes a positioning protrusion on the tabletop and a positioning recess on the tabletop cylinder, with the positioning protrusion embedded in the positioning recess; or, the pre-positioning mechanism includes a recessed groove on the tabletop, a sandwich layer in the tabletop, the end of the sandwich layer communicating with the lower limit groove, and a positioning slide on the tabletop cylinder. The positioning slide first sinks into the lower limit groove and then rotates to enter the sandwich layer, which can also achieve pre-positioning between the tabletop and the tabletop cylinder.

[0040] In one embodiment, the fixing member for securing the first component (tabletop 3) and the second component (tabletop cylinder 4) is a fixing screw 7. The fixing screw 7 extends into the tabletop cylinder 4 and passes downward through both the tabletop cylinder 4 and the tabletop 3, thereby fixing them together. Preferably, the upper end of the fixing screw 7 is provided with a positioning head 8, and the tabletop cylinder 4 is provided with an inwardly protruding shoulder 9. The positioning head 8 abuts against the shoulder 9 to make the tabletop cylinder 4 and the tabletop 3 more securely connected.

[0041] In one embodiment, the tabletop cylinder 4 includes a base 10 and a cylinder 11 extending upward on the base 10, such that even if the fixing screw 7 or other types of fasteners pass through the tabletop cylinder 4, the overall strength of the tabletop cylinder 4 will not be weakened too much due to the presence of the thicker base 10.

[0042] The connecting component between the tabletop portion 1 and the under-table portion 2 is a connecting screw 12. The first component (tabletop plate 3) and / or the second component (tabletop cylinder 4) have a vertically extending channel. The connecting screw 12 passes through this channel and then into the under-table portion 2, where it is threadedly connected. The advantages of this connecting mechanism are: because the channel is vertically extending, tools such as screwdrivers can be inserted into the channel from the top to operate the connecting screw 12; and because the tabletop portion 1 is located above the tabletop, the connecting screw 12 can be operated from above, making operation convenient. That is, when connecting the desktop connector to the desktop, first place the desktop part 1 at the connection hole on the desktop, so that the through channel is aligned with the connection hole on the desktop. Then, pass the connecting screw 12 through the through channel and the connection hole, so that the connecting screw 12 passes under the desktop. Then connect the desktop part 2 to the connecting screw 12. Then, use a screwdriver or other tools to reach into the through channel above the desktop and rotate the connecting screw 12. By holding the desktop part 2, the desktop part 2 can be moved upward until the desktop part 2 is close to the desktop. In this way, the desktop is clamped between the desktop part 1 and the desktop part 2.

[0043] In one embodiment, in order to allow the under-table portion 2 to better fit the back of the tabletop, the under-table portion 2 is a table underboard.

[0044] When the fixing component is a fixing screw 7, the first component is a tabletop plate 3, and the second component is a tabletop cylinder 4, the fixing screw 7 has a through hole along its axial direction. The through hole includes the inner cavity of the tabletop cylinder 4 and the through hole of the fixing screw 7. The connecting screw 12 is inserted from the upper end of the tabletop cylinder 4, passes through the through hole of the fixing screw 7, and then exits from the tabletop portion 1. At this time, the fixing screw 7 is considered as part of the tabletop plate 3 and / or the tabletop cylinder 4. Of course, if the tabletop plate 3 has a through threaded hole that is threaded to the fixing screw 7, then the connecting screw 12 will exit from the tabletop portion 1 after passing through the fixing screw 7; or if the threaded groove of the tabletop plate 3 that is threaded to the fixing screw 7 is not through the tabletop plate 3, then the connecting screw 12 will need to exit from the tabletop plate 3 after passing through the fixing screw 7.

[0045] In one embodiment, the upper end of the connecting screw 12 is provided with a limiting head 13, which abuts against the fixing screw 7 to better limit the connecting screw 13 and better adhere the underside of the table to the back of the table.

[0046] An electronic device stand includes a stand body 14 and a desktop connector connected to the stand body 14 for connecting electronic devices to a desktop. The desktop connector is the aforementioned desktop connector. The stand body 14 is connected to a second component, which is a desktop cylinder 4. In the following embodiments, the second component is always a desktop cylinder 4, but this does not mean that the second component must be in the form of a desktop cylinder 4. The stand body 14 is the stand body of an electronic device stand in the prior art, such as a monitor stand, etc., and will not be described further here.

[0047] One connection method between the support body 14 and the tabletop cylinder 4 is as follows: the lower end of the support body 4 has a slot 15, and the tabletop cylinder 4 is inserted into the slot 15. In one embodiment, the outer side wall of the tabletop cylinder 4 has a protruding support platform 16, and the lower end of the support body 4 can rest on the support platform 16.

[0048] Preferably, after the tabletop tube 4 is inserted into the slot 15, the side wall of the slot 15 and the tabletop tube 4 are positioned by a positioning mechanism. The positioning mechanism can adopt various structural forms, such as a snap-fit ​​structure, that is, the side wall of the slot and the tabletop tube are connected by a snap-fit; the positioning mechanism can also adopt a screw, that is, the side wall of the slot and the tabletop tube are connected by a screw.

[0049] When the tabletop cylinder 4 is inserted into the slot 15 and the slot 15 is a cylindrical groove, the support body 14 and the tabletop cylinder 4 can rotate relative to each other, which is convenient for adjusting the angle. At this time, a limiting protrusion 18 can be provided on the inner side wall of the slot, and a limiting ear 19 is provided on the upper edge of the tabletop cylinder 4. The limiting ear 19 corresponds to the limiting protrusion 18 so that the support body 14 can only rotate between the two ends of the limiting protrusion 18. That is, when the support body 14 rotates to the point where the limiting ear 19 abuts against the two ends of the limiting protrusion 18, the support body 14 can no longer rotate.

[0050] When the tabletop cylinder 4 is inserted into the slot 15 and the slot 15 is a cylindrical slot, the support body 14 and the tabletop cylinder 4 can rotate relative to each other. At this time, a wear-resistant sleeve 17 can also be provided in the slot 15. The tabletop cylinder 4 is inserted into the wear-resistant sleeve 17. When the support body 14 and the tabletop cylinder 4 rotate relative to each other, the wear-resistant sleeve 17 plays a wear-resistant buffering role.

[0051] In one embodiment, the lower end of the wear-resistant sleeve 17 is provided with a top ring 20, and a protrusion 21 is provided at the junction of the top ring 20 and the lower end of the wear-resistant sleeve 17. The lower end of the side wall of the slot 15 is provided with a groove 22. The top ring 20 abuts against the lower end face of the bracket body 14, and the protrusion 21 is embedded in the groove 22.

[0052] When the slot 15 is further provided with a wear-resistant sleeve 17, a preferred structure is as follows: the outer wall of the tabletop cylinder 4 is provided with a concave ring 23, and the side arm of the wear-resistant sleeve 17 is provided with a slit 24 to form an elastic flap 25, the upper end of the flap 25 corresponding to the concave ring 23; the side wall of the slot 15 is provided with a radial threaded hole 26, the threaded hole 26 corresponding to the upper end of the flap 25, and a positioning screw 27 is screwed into the threaded hole 16. Under the action of the positioning screw 27, the upper end of the flap 25 is pushed inward and deformed to enter the concave ring 23, so that the bracket body 14 can not be pulled upward. At the same time, adjusting the pushing force of the positioning screw 27 on the flap 25 can also adjust the frictional force of the flap 25 relative to the tabletop cylinder 4. The tighter the positioning screw 27 is tightened, the more difficult it is for the bracket body 14 to rotate or even not to rotate. By generating appropriate friction between the flap 25 and the tabletop cylinder 4, a damping feel can be provided for the bracket body 14 during rotation.
