Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of card sorting machine technology, specifically to a card sorting table and card machine with a lockable card machine body. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of society and the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the public's demand for quality leisure and entertainment activities is constantly increasing. Chess and card games, due to their unique intellectual, entertaining, and social attributes, have become an important part of modern leisure culture and are widely popular at family gatherings, social events with friends, and other occasions.
[0003] To enhance their card game entertainment experience, more and more consumers are choosing to purchase automatic card game machines. However, existing products have significant shortcomings in terms of practicality and aesthetics: fixed card game machines occupy table space for extended periods, limiting storage functionality and preventing them from being used as a regular tabletop. This results in the card game machine becoming a "functional idle area" when not in use, leading to low space utilization for ordinary households and failing to meet daily needs. Portable card game machines, while flexible, are difficult to coordinate with modern home environments, disrupting the overall aesthetics. In conclusion, existing card game machines struggle to balance space utilization and aesthetic requirements. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0059] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.
[0060] In this document, terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer" are established based on the positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. Depending on the drawings, the corresponding positional relationships may also change. Therefore, they should not be interpreted as an absolute limitation on the scope of protection. Moreover, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one component from another that has the same name, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these components.
[0061] Example 1, see Figure 1-14 This embodiment provides a card machine, including a card sorting table and a card machine body 4 installed in the table body 1 of the card sorting table.
[0062] See Figure 1-2 The card sorting table includes a table body 1 and a transfer device movably disposed within the table body 1. The tabletop of the table body 1 has an inlet / outlet 11. The transfer device includes a transfer mechanism 2 and a locking mechanism 3 for locking the card machine body 4. The locking mechanism 3 is installed on the transfer mechanism 2. When the transfer mechanism 2 is running, it can drive the locking mechanism 3 to move from inside the table body 1 to the inlet / outlet 11 or from the inlet / outlet 11 to inside the table body 1.
[0063] Through the dynamic movement design of the transfer mechanism 2, when the card machine body 4 is idle, the transfer device can be completely stored inside the table body 1, so that the tabletop of the table body 1 presents the appearance and function of an ordinary tabletop, avoiding the creation of "functional idle areas", and the appearance is no different from traditional furniture, overcoming the defect of portable devices conflicting with home style; when card games are needed, the card machine body 4 can be moved to the working position through the precise control of the transfer mechanism 2, providing users with a professional card playing experience, only temporarily exposing functional components, and immediately hiding them after use, maintaining the overall harmony of the environment.
[0064] In summary, by modularly integrating the card-playing machine 4 and the transfer mechanism 2 into the standard table body 1, the complete functions of a professional card-playing machine are retained, while also achieving a "two-in-one" composite furniture design. This significantly enhances the product's functional applicability and achieves a perfect balance between aesthetics and practicality. Furthermore, through the directional transfer mechanism of the transfer device, users can easily switch between the card-playing machine 4's usage and storage states with a single click, offering smooth operation and combining the stability of a fixed design with the flexibility of a portable one.
[0065] In addition, the card body 4 is locked by the locking mechanism 3 to prevent the card body 4 from being unstable on the transfer mechanism 2 due to movement during the transfer process. Players can also change the corresponding card body 4 as needed to improve applicability.
[0066] The table body 1 has a mounting slot, in which the transfer device is installed. Preferably, the inlet / outlet 11 is adapted to the size of the transfer device. When the transfer device is in the removed state, the card machine body 4 can be smoothly moved from the inlet / outlet 11 to the tabletop to achieve the optimal usage position. To make this embodiment clearer, the card machine body 4 will be further described in conjunction with the card machine body 4. The card machine body 4 can be used only for dealing cards, or for sorting and dealing cards, or for sorting, shuffling, and dealing cards. The card machine body 4 can be any form. This embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the card machine body 4, but only provides an example. The card machine body 4 can be an intelligent automatic card dealing machine disclosed in CN116212357A or a small card shuffling and dealing machine disclosed in CN116688478A.
[0067] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the locking mechanism 3 includes several locking elements 31, which directly lock the card-making machine body 4, reducing intermediate transmission components, lowering the failure rate, and reducing costs. Preferably, the locking elements 31 are locking magnets, locking suction cups, rubber bodies, elastic locks, or adhesives. Manually operated locking elements 31 (such as elastic buckles) provide a clear "click" feedback sound or tactile feedback, allowing users to complete the operation intuitively without additional tools or power support. In the second embodiment, see... Figure 1-4 The locking mechanism 3 includes a plurality of locking elements 31 and a locking drive unit 32 that drives the locking elements 31 to move. It can work with sensors (such as position sensors) to precisely control the stroke of the locking elements 31. In a second embodiment, the locking element 31 can also be a locking magnet, a locking suction cup, a rubber body, an elastic lock, or an adhesive, or it can be a plastic part. The locking element 31 can be locked from the bottom surface of the card mechanism or from the side surface of the bottom surface of the card mechanism. If locking from the side, the locking element 31 can change its accommodating range to lock securely.
[0068] Furthermore, the locking drive unit 32 can be set to automatic or manual mode to move the locking member 31 for locking or unlocking, depending on user needs. Users can flexibly choose based on budget, usage frequency, and environmental conditions. For ease of understanding, specific embodiments are described below: In the first embodiment, see... Figure 1-4 The locking drive unit 32 includes a locking drive component that drives the locking component 31. The locking drive component is provided with a locking operation part 321. Players can manually operate the locking operation part 321 of the locking drive component to lock or unlock the locking component 31, facilitating the installation or removal of the card machine body 4. The locking operation part 321 can be a groove or a protrusion design to facilitate the user's application of force. For ease of understanding, the following is a description in conjunction with the attached... Figure 3 , 4In detail: The locking member 31 is movably mounted on the moving mechanism, and the locking drive member is rotatably mounted on the moving mechanism. The locking member 31 cooperates with the moving groove on the locking drive member. When the player rotates the locking drive member through the locking operation part 321, the locking drive member causes the locking member 31 to move along the moving groove to shrink or expand its accommodating range. In the second embodiment, the locking drive unit 32 includes a locking actuator (such as an electric push rod, motor, or cylinder) that drives the locking member 31. Each locking member 31 is connected to a locking actuator, which directly drives the locking member 31 to move. In the third embodiment, the locking drive unit 32 includes a locking transmission member connected to the locking member 31 and a locking drive member (not shown) that drives the locking transmission member. The locking drive member transmits the driving force of the locking drive member to optimize the installation position. This locking transmission member can be the locking drive member in the first embodiment.
[0069] Further, see Figure 1-4 The locking drive unit 32 also includes a stop member 322 (screw, ratchet anti-retraction member, etc.) to prevent the locking member 31 from retracting. For ease of understanding, the following description is provided in conjunction with the attached diagram. Figure 3 , 4 To elaborate: After the locking drive moves the locking component 31 into place, the locking drive is fixed to the transfer mechanism 2 by screws, so that the locking drive cannot move, thereby preventing the locking component 31 from moving further.
[0070] Alternatively, the locking drive unit 32 may have a self-locking structure, or there may be a self-locking structure between the locking drive unit 32 and the locking member 31. For ease of understanding, specific embodiments are described below: In a first embodiment, the locking member 31 is fixedly connected to the locking transmission member, and the locking transmission member (such as a linkage assembly) has a self-locking structure. In a second embodiment, the locking member 31 and the locking transmission member are in a movable engagement. In one example, the locking transmission member has a self-locking structure, and the moving groove on the locking transmission member has a moving section and a self-locking section. When the locking transmission member is in the self-locking section, it will not move automatically without any additional external force. In another example, the locking member 31 has a self-locking structure, such as the locking member 31 comprising two screwed components, with the two components threadedly self-locking. In another example, the locking member 31 and the locking transmission member have a self-locking structure, such as the locking member 31 and the locking drive member having a threaded self-locking. Threaded self-locking is an existing structure and will not be described in detail here.
[0071] Further, see Figure 5-6 11-12, the inlet and outlet 11 is provided with a sealing door 12 so that the inlet and outlet 11 can be sealed by the sealing door 12 when the card machine body 4 is idle.
[0072] Further, see Figure 5-6 To ensure the smooth operation of the closed door 12 during opening and closing, a sliding door guide assembly 13 is provided between the closed door 12 and the table body 1. This guide assembly can take various forms, such as sliding, roller, or bearing structures, depending on the actual application scenario and design requirements. Sliding guide assemblies achieve smooth sliding through precision-machined guide rails or grooves and sliders, possessing high load-bearing capacity and stability; roller guide assemblies utilize the rolling of rollers on tracks to reduce friction, suitable for occasions requiring frequent opening and closing; bearing guide assemblies use high-precision bearings for support, providing a smoother operating experience. The sliding door guide assembly 13 not only improves the service life of the closed door 12 but also ensures the neat and aesthetically pleasing overall appearance of the card machine, while providing users with a more comfortable and convenient operating experience. (See attached...) Figure 5 , 6 A specific example is provided: The bottom of the table body 1 has a groove for accommodating the closed door 12, and the side wall of the groove has a guide groove. The side wall of the closed door 12 has a moving block that extends into the guide groove. When the closed door 12 is moved by the flip seat 24, it moves along the guide groove.
[0073] Furthermore, to ensure the aesthetics and safety of the card machine, the closed door 12 is flush with the tabletop when closed. Specifically, when the closed door 12 completely seals the inlet / outlet 11, its surface is roughly flush with the tabletop, with the height difference between them controlled within ±0.5mm, ensuring the overall flatness of the tabletop. This fit not only enhances the product's visual appeal, making it indistinguishable from a regular tabletop when the card machine 4 is idle, but more importantly, it eliminates the gaps or height differences common in traditional designs, effectively preventing items from slipping or dust from entering, while also avoiding instability that might occur when the user uses the card machine as a regular table. (See attached diagram.) Figure 5 , 6 To illustrate with a specific example: The guide chute includes a translation chute and an inclined chute. During the process of the closing door 12 being driven by the flip seat 24 to close the inlet / outlet 11, the closing door 12 first moves horizontally along the translation chute, and then moves upward inclinedly along the inclined chute. The opposite is true when the inlet / outlet 11 is opened.
[0074] The enclosed door 12 can be installed in various ways to meet the needs of different usage scenarios and spatial layouts. Specifically, the enclosed door 12 can be installed in any of the following ways: 1. See Figure 5 , 6 8. Horizontally movable installation on the table body 1: The closed door 12 slides open and closes horizontally. This method saves vertical space and is suitable for occasions with limited space around the desktop, enabling smooth and stable opening and closing operations. 2. See also Figure 11 The door 12 is vertically rotatable and mounted on the table body 1. It opens and closes by rotating vertically via hinges or a pivot. This design is simple, easy to maintain, and suitable for applications requiring rapid opening and closing, while also providing a large opening space. 3. See [reference needed] Figure 14 The closed door 12 is installed horizontally on the table body 1: it opens and closes via a horizontal pivot, similar to a revolving door design. This method offers high space utilization and is suitable for occasions requiring special visual effects or spatial layouts, enabling unique opening methods. 4. The closed door 12 is placed on the table body 1: the entrance / exit 11 and the closed door 12 are mutually restrained. The user can remove the closed door 12 from the entrance / exit 11 and place it on top of the entrance / exit 11 to close it; the operation is simple. Each installation method ensures that the closed door 12 operates smoothly during opening and closing. Users can choose the appropriate installation method based on their actual usage environment and personalized needs to obtain the best user experience. This diverse design not only enhances the product's practicality but also strengthens its market competitiveness.
[0075] Further, see Figure 5-7 The transfer mechanism 2 includes a flip base 24 rotatably mounted on the table body 1 and a flip drive unit 25 driving the flip base 24. The card machine body 4 is mounted on the flip base 24. The flip drive unit 25 drives the flip base 24 to flip, and the card machine body 4 follows the flip base 24 to flip to the working position, providing users with a professional card playing experience.
[0076] The flip drive unit 25 can be set to automatic, semi-automatic, or manual operation according to user needs, allowing users to flexibly choose based on budget, usage frequency, and environmental conditions. For ease of understanding, a specific embodiment will be described below: In the first embodiment, see... Figure 5 The flip drive unit 25 includes a flip driver 251 mounted on one of the flip base 24 and the table body 1, and a flip transmission component 252 mounted on the other of the flip base 24 and the table body 1. The cooperation between the flip driver 251 (e.g., a motor) and the flip transmission component 252 (e.g., a gear set, pulley, linkage mechanism) enables high-torque, low-noise flipping action. The installation position can be optimized according to the internal space of the table body 1 to avoid conflict with storage areas, while also facilitating heat dissipation and maintenance. Furthermore, the flip transmission component 252 (e.g., a reduction gear) can amplify the output torque of the driver, reducing the power requirement of the driver and extending battery or motor life, making it suitable for low-power home scenarios. In the second embodiment, see... Figure 7The flip drive unit 25 includes a flip actuator 251 connected at one end to the flip base 24 and at the other end to the table body 1. The flip actuator 251 (such as an electric push rod, hydraulic cylinder, gas spring, etc.) directly drives the flip base 24, eliminating intermediate transmission components, reducing failure points, and lowering manufacturing costs. The linear actuator can provide instantaneous thrust, enabling the card machine body 4 to be quickly unfolded or retracted, improving usage efficiency. The direct drive method can be adapted to card machine bodies 4 of different weights by adjusting the actuator stroke or pressure, offering strong scalability. In the third embodiment, the driving force of the flip drive unit 25 is the mechanical force directly applied by the user. The purely mechanical structure design is suitable for environments without power or scenarios that pursue minimalist use (such as outdoor card machines), enhancing reliability. Furthermore, eliminating the drive unit significantly reduces weight and cost, making it suitable for the price-sensitive home market. Preferably, a locking structure is provided between the flip base 24 and the table body 1. The locking structure (such as a hook, magnetic snap, etc.) provides clear "opening and closing feedback," avoiding accidental operation and ensuring stability in the stored state. Of course, in the first and second embodiments, a locking structure and / or limiting structure (such as Hall sensors, mechanical stops, etc.) is also preferred to ensure that the card holder 4 is accurately positioned when stored or unfolded, avoiding the risk of collision or pinching due to excessive flipping, and enhancing the safety of use. A combination of manual and automatic or semi-automatic operation is preferred. If the electric drive unit fails, the manual implementation can serve as a backup plan to avoid complete equipment failure and improve product reliability. Alternatively, the drive unit can be modularly designed to allow for later upgrades (such as adding an electric drive to the manual version), extending the product lifecycle.
[0077] In this embodiment, see Figure 7 The flip seat 24 is rotatably connected to the table body 1 in the middle. Preferably, the side of the flip seat 24 facing away from the card machine body 4 serves as a sealing door 12 to close the inlet and outlet 11. When the card machine body 4 is stored in the table body 1, the inlet and outlet 11 are also closed, eliminating the need for other structural operations to close the sealing door 12, resulting in a simple structure.
[0078] Furthermore, referring to 1-2, the table body 1 includes a table body 16 and a table wing 17 disposed on one side of the table body 16. The table wing 17 can be folded relative to the table body 16. The flipping mechanism is installed inside the table body 16, and the inlet / outlet 11 is located on the tabletop of the table body 16. By designing the table body 1 as a foldable structure, the table wing 17 can be folded relative to the table body 16, significantly reducing the overall volume of the table. When not in use, the table body 1 can be folded for storage, occupying little space, with high space utilization, and is easy to store and transport, solving the problems of traditional automatic card machines being bulky and inconvenient to store and transport. In addition, because the device is foldable, its application scenarios are no longer limited to fixed locations, and it can be widely used in various occasions such as family gatherings, outdoor activities, and card games, further expanding the market potential of automatic card machines.
[0079] Further, see Figure 2 The table wing 17 includes a folding tabletop 171 and folding legs 172, both of which can be foldably mounted on the table body 16. The table body 16 includes a main tabletop and legs with accommodating space, with the main tabletop mounted on the legs. The legs may have storage cabinets. The table wing 17 includes a folding tabletop 171 and folding legs 172. The folding tabletop 171 can be foldably mounted on the main tabletop, and the folding legs 172 can be foldably mounted on the legs. It is understood that the tabletop of the table body 16 refers to the upper surface of the main tabletop.
[0080] Example 2: In this example, the parts that are the same as in Example 1 are given the same reference numerals, and the same text descriptions are omitted.
[0081] Compared to Embodiment 1, the card flipping machine provided in this embodiment has the following structural design differences:
[0082] See Figure 5 One end of the flip seat 24 is rotatably connected to the table body 1.
[0083] The specific operation method for closing and opening the closed door 12 is as follows: In the first embodiment, the closed door 12 is equipped with a sliding door operating part (not shown), which allows the player to manually open or close the closed door 12. The sliding door operating part can be a groove or a protrusion design to facilitate the user's application of force. When the player needs to play card games, the sliding door operating part allows the user to easily open the closed door 12, exposing the entrance / exit 11, so that the card machine body 4 can be smoothly flipped out for the player to use. This method has a simple structure and low cost, and is suitable for occasions where automation requirements are not high. In the second embodiment, see... Figure 14The closed door 12 is connected to a sliding door drive unit 15, which drives the closed door 12 to close or open. The sliding door drive unit 15 may include a motor and transmission components. A specific example is provided below: The closed door 12 includes a sealing plate 121 and a rotating component 122 rotatably mounted on the table body 1. The rotating component 122 and the sealing plate 121 are connected by a gear tooth structure. The rotating component 122 is connected to the sliding door drive unit 15. When the sliding door drive unit 15 drives the rotating component 122 to rotate, the rotating component 122 drives several sealing plates 121 to rotate, so that all sealing plates 121 are moved away from the closed door 12. The table body 1 may be provided with a rotating base, on which the rotating component 122 and the sealing plates 121 are rotatably mounted. Alternatively, the closed door 12 may be directly driven to rotate or translate by the sliding door drive unit 15. Preferably, in this embodiment, a reset elastic element 14 is provided between the closed door 12 and the table body 1; or, a reset elastic element 14 is provided between the closed door 12 and the flip seat 24. That is, the closed door 12 is opened by the sliding door drive unit 15 and closed by the reset elastic element 14 to avoid hand injury from a hard closing operation.

[0084] Example 3: In this example, the parts that are the same as in Examples 1 and 2 are given the same reference numerals, and the same text descriptions are omitted.
[0085] Compared to Embodiments 1 and 2, the card sorting table of the lockable card machine body 4 provided in this embodiment has the following structural design differences:
[0086] See Figure 8-14 The transfer mechanism 2 includes a lifting base 21 for mounting the card machine body 4 and a lifting drive unit 22 drivenly connected to the lifting base 21. The lifting drive unit 22 is installed inside the table body 1, and the lifting base 21 is movably installed inside the table body 1 to realize the lifting function of the card machine body 4. To ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the lifting process, see [reference needed]. Figure 9-10Preferably, a vertical guide assembly 23 is provided between the table body 1 and the lifting seat 21. This vertical guide assembly 23 can adopt a screw-type, linkage-type, or guide rail-type guiding structure, and the specific selection can be optimized according to actual needs and application scenarios. Screw-type guide assemblies have high positioning accuracy and self-locking performance, suitable for occasions with strict requirements for lifting position; linkage-type guide assemblies have a simple structure and low cost, suitable for environments with relatively relaxed accuracy requirements; guide rail-type guide assemblies provide a smoother sliding experience, suitable for occasions requiring frequent lifting. By reasonably selecting the type of vertical guide assembly 23, the overall performance and user experience of the card-sorting table can be further improved. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 9-10 The lifting seat 21 has limiting movement grooves on both longitudinal sides, and the table body 1 has vertically arranged guide members that cooperate with the limiting movement grooves; the lifting seat 21 has moving blocks on both transverse sides, and the table body 1 has vertically arranged guide members that cooperate with the moving blocks, and the guide members have limiting movement grooves that cooperate with the moving blocks. The lifting seat 21 moves along the guide members under the drive of the lifting drive unit 22.
[0087] In the first embodiment, the specific structure of the lifting drive unit 22 is described in [reference needed]. Figure 13 The lifting drive unit 22 includes a lifting driver 221, which directly drives the lifting seat 21 to complete the lifting action. Preferably, the lifting driver 221 can employ mature lifting drive methods such as an electric telescopic rod, a worm gear screw jack, a screw sleeve jack, or a rack and pinion jack. Electric telescopic rods offer rapid response and precise control, while screw sleeve jacks and worm gear screw jacks have self-locking functions, ensuring the card reader 4 remains stably stationary at any position. The lifting driver 221 can also drive the lifting seat 21 to move vertically via a transmission structure, which can be a gear transmission (e.g.,...). Figure 13 (As shown) or by belt drive or linkage drive, etc. Since these structures are all existing technologies, their specific working principles will not be described in detail here. It is understood that when the lifting drive 221 drives the lifting seat 21 to move, it can be a linear vertical movement, an oblique vertical movement, or a curved vertical movement, selected according to the actual situation, without specific limitations. In the second embodiment, see... Figure 8-11 The lifting drive unit 22 includes a translation driver 222 and a steering component 223 connected to the translation driver 222 and capable of driving the lifting seat 21 to rise and fall. The translation driver 222 drives the steering component 223 to translate, and the steering component 223 drives the lifting seat 21 to rise and fall during translation. The translation driver 222 can be a rotary motor or a linear motor. The rotary motor achieves translational motion through a lead screw or rack and pinion mechanism, while the linear motor can directly generate linear driving force. The steering component 223, as a key transmission component, is not limited in its specific form, as long as it can realize the function of converting translational motion into lifting motion. For ease of understanding, the following is a detailed description in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 9, 10 A specific example is provided: The steering component 223 is equipped with a transmission part and an inclined pushing part. When the motor starts, the transmission part drives the steering component 223 to move horizontally. At this time, the inclined pushing part contacts the lifting seat 21 and generates a vertically upward component force, pushing the lifting seat 21 to rise smoothly along the vertical guide assembly 23. Conversely, when the steering component 223 moves back, the inclined pushing part gradually disengages, and the lifting seat 21 and the card machine body 4 slowly descend under their own weight, completing the reset action. Preferably, during descent, the lifting seat 21 is also subjected to a vertically downward component force generated by the top of the inclined pushing part. This design not only realizes the lifting function but also simplifies the control system through mechanical structure and improves the reliability of the device. (See attached diagram.) Figure 9 The steering component 223 may have an inclined thrust surface, combined with the attached Figure 10 The steering component 223 may have an inclined thrust groove. Of course, the steering component 223 may also be a structure with gear drive, belt drive, or linkage drive, etc.
[0088] In this embodiment, the specific operation methods for closing and opening the closed door 12 are as follows: In the first embodiment, the closed door 12 is provided with a sliding door operating part. In the second embodiment, the closed door 12 is connected to a sliding door drive unit 15. The first and second embodiments can be referred to the relevant content in Embodiment 1. In the third embodiment, see... Figure 9-11 The lifting seat 21 or the steering component 223 is connected to the closed door 12 via the sliding door transmission component 26. In one example, the lifting drive unit 22 is the second embodiment described above, and the sliding door transmission component 26 is a pushing component fixedly connected to the steering component 223. (See attached diagram.) Figure 9 A specific example is provided: When the steering component 223 drives the lifting seat 21 to rise, the steering component 223 drives the pushing component to move and push against the closed door 12 to open the lifting opening. In another example, the lifting drive unit 22 is the second embodiment described above, and the sliding door transmission component 26 is the pushing component driven and connected by the steering component 223. This is now described in conjunction with the attached... Figure 10-11A specific example is provided: The pushing member is installed on the lifting seat 21 or the table body 1. When the steering member 223 drives the lifting seat 21 to rise, the steering member 223 drives the pushing member to move vertically and push against the closed door 12 to open the lifting opening. For ease of understanding, a specific explanation is given below: The pushing member and the lifting seat 21 or the table body 1 have a vertical moving engagement. The pushing member and the steering member 223 have a moving engagement mechanism. The pushing member has a mating block, and the steering member 223 has a mating groove that moves in conjunction with the mating block. The mating groove has an inclined section and a horizontal section. When the mating block moves in the inclined section, the pushing member moves vertically. In another example, the sliding door transmission member 26 is a pushing member connected to the lifting seat 21. When the lifting seat 21 rises, the lifting seat 21 drives the pushing member to move vertically and push against the closed door 12 to open the lifting opening. Preferably, in the second and third embodiments of this invention, see [reference needed]. Figure 8 , 11 14. The closed door 12 is connected to a reset elastic element 14. When the lifting seat 21 descends, the reset elastic element 14 drives the closed door 12 to close the lifting opening. That is, the closed door 12 opens by the sliding door drive unit 15 or the lifting drive unit 22, and closes by the reset elastic element 14, so as to avoid hand injury from a hard closing operation. Preferably, the closed door 12 includes two unit plates, and the reset elastic element 14 is provided between the two unit plates.
