[0023] like Figures 1 to 6The folding and height-adjustable desktop table shown includes: table legs 1, a height-adjustable support assembly 2, and a desktop panel 3. (See attached image.) Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the table includes: table legs 1; a lifting column assembly 2, one end of which is vertically mounted on the upper surface of the table legs 1; and a tabletop 3, consisting of a first panel 31 and a second panel 32, with the lower surface of the second panel 32 connected to the other end of the lifting column assembly 2. A flip assembly 4 is also included, comprising a flip latch 41 and a support member 42. The flip latch 41 is located on the lower surface of the second panel 32, and the support member 42 is connected to the first panel 31. When the flip latch 41 and the support member 42 are engaged, the table is in an unfolded state, at which point the first panel 31 and the second panel 32 are horizontally coplanar. When the flip latch 41 and the support member 42 are disengaged, the table is in a folded state, at which point the first panel 31 and the second panel 32 are not coplanar. The table legs 1 support the entire structure, and one end of the lifting column assembly 2 is vertically mounted on the upper surface of the table legs 1, providing height adjustment for the tabletop 3. The second panel 32 is fixedly connected to the other end of the lifting column assembly 2, while the first panel 31 engages with the second panel 32 via a flip-up mechanism. Figure 2 As shown, this allows the desktop to be unfolded or folded. The flip assembly 4 includes a flip latch 41 disposed on the lower surface of the second panel 32 and a support member 42 connected to the first panel 31. The flip latch 41 and the support member 42 are mechanically connected. When the flip latch 41 and the support member 42 are engaged, the first panel 31 is supported, and the first panel 31 and the second panel 32 are in a horizontally coplanar unfolded state, forming a complete desktop. When the flip latch 41 and the support member 42 are disengaged, the first panel 31 can be folded towards the table legs 1, so that the first panel 31 and the second panel 32 are in a non-coplanar folded state, reducing space occupation. During use, the user first adjusts the height of the desktop panel 3 through the lifting column assembly 2, and then unfolds or folds the first panel 31 according to usage needs.

[0024] In the above embodiments, the present invention achieves the unfolded state and folded state of the product through the cooperation of the flip buckle 41 and the support member 42 in the flip component 4. Compared with the prior art, it avoids problems such as loosening, shaking or jamming of the hinge after long-term use, and improves the convenience and stability of the product.

[0025] In embodiments of this utility model, to ensure the load-bearing stability of the desktop panel 3, a desktop connector 5 is also included, which is installed on the lower plane of the first panel 31 and connected to the support member 42. For example... Figure 3As shown, the desktop connector 5 is fixed to the lower surface of the first panel 31 and can be arranged along the axial direction of the first panel 31. Its other end is connected to the support member 42 to form a support structure. The desktop connector 5 can be fixed by screws, fasteners, hinge components, etc. In this embodiment, the desktop connector 5 realizes the force transmission between the first panel 31 and the support member 42, and enhances the support capacity of the first panel 31 when the flip-lock 41 is engaged with the support member 42.

[0026] In an embodiment of this utility model, to improve the user comfort of the product, the desktop connector 5 also has a handle 51, which is disposed on the outer side of the first panel 31. Figure 3 As shown, the handle 51 can be made of metal, plastic, or composite materials. Its shape can be designed according to human hand operating habits, such as a groove or an embedded pull ring, to facilitate gripping or applying force. When the first panel 31 needs to be unfolded or folded, the user can easily apply force to the first panel 31 by gripping the handle 51. In this embodiment, the risk of wear or cuts from direct contact with the edge of the table is avoided, improving safety and comfort during use.

[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, the lifting column assembly 2 includes a pneumatic cylinder 21, an inner tube 22 sleeved around the outer periphery of the pneumatic cylinder 21, and an outer tube 23 sleeved around the outer periphery of the inner tube 22. When the pneumatic cylinder 21 is actuated, it drives the inner tube 22 to move linearly along its axis. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the pneumatic cylinder 21, serving as the drive core, is located in the innermost layer of the lifting column assembly 2, achieving axial thrust through air pressure regulation. The inner tube 22 is fitted onto the outer circumferential surface of the pneumatic cylinder 21, allowing for linear vertical movement along its axis when the cylinder 21 is activated. The outer tube 23 is fitted over the inner tube 22, providing protection and enhancing the rigidity of the lifting column assembly 2. During operation, when the pneumatic cylinder 21 is activated, its internal piston pushes the inner tube 22 up and down, raising or lowering the desktop panel 3. In this embodiment, this structure of the lifting column assembly 2 improves the product's durability.

[0028] Furthermore, to facilitate user operation of the pneumatic cylinder, the lifting column assembly 2 also includes a wrench 24. The wrench 24 is located on the lower plane side of the second panel 32. The wrench 24 cooperates with the push rod of the pneumatic cylinder 21, causing the desktop panel 3 to perform linear movement of raising or lowering. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a control rod is provided on the top of the pneumatic cylinder 21. The lifting stroke is controlled by the wrench 24 in conjunction with the rod. During use, when the user lifts the wrench 24, it drives the inner tube 22 to extend or retract along the axial direction of the pneumatic cylinder 21, thus raising or lowering the desktop panel 3. It should be noted that the wrench 24 can be a rotary lever, pull rod, pressure handle, or other mechanical control components, selected according to actual usage requirements. In this embodiment, the user does not need to contact the pneumatic cylinder 21 body; they only need to operate the wrench 24 to raise or lower the desktop panel 3, enhancing the user experience.

[0029] In an embodiment of this utility model, to facilitate the user in unfolding or folding the first panel 31, the flip assembly 4 is also provided with a handle 43. The handle 43 is installed on the lower plane of the second panel 32 and connected to the flip buckle 41, so that the handle 43 drives the flip buckle 41 to engage with the support member 42. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the handle 43 is installed on the lower surface of the second panel 32 and is connected to the flip-up latch 41 to form a linkage relationship. Structurally, the handle 43 can be connected to the flip-up latch 41 through a mechanical connector such as a pin, which can drive the flip-up latch 41 to engage or disengage with the support member 42 when the user applies force. During use, when the handle 43 is pulled, the flip-up latch 41 rotates or moves accordingly, thereby releasing its engagement with the support member 42, and the first panel 31 can be folded. When it is necessary to unfold the first panel 31, the handle 43 engages the flip-up latch 41 with the support member 42, thereby locking the unfolded state of the first panel 31. In this embodiment, the handle 43 controls the flip-up latch 41, so that the user does not need to directly contact the flip-up latch 41 or the support member 42, enhancing the user experience.

[0030] It should be noted that in some embodiments of this utility model, since the desktop connector 5 is connected to the support member 42, the support member 42 can also be controlled by pulling the handle 51, thereby controlling the engagement relationship between the flip buckle 41 and the support member 42, and realizing the unfolding and folding action of the first panel 31. In this embodiment, the control of the flip component 4 via the handle 51 is added, so that the product can still be used even if the handle 43 is damaged or jammed, thus enhancing the functionality of the product.

The leveling device 6 is configured such that when the first leveling component 61 and the second leveling component 62 are engaged, the first panel 31 and the second panel 32 are horizontally coplanar. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first leveling component 61 and the second leveling component 62 are a pair of complementary structural parts. One of them is installed on the lower plane of the first panel 31, and the other at the corresponding position is installed on the lower plane of the second panel 32, enabling the two panels to achieve positioning and fine-tuning support at the joint. In terms of structural design, the first leveling component 61 and the second leveling component 62 can adopt a beveled interlocking structure, a stepped overlapping structure, or an adjustable height structure, etc. Users can install either leveling component at the corresponding position on the first panel 31 or the second panel 32 according to production or assembly needs. When the tabletop is unfolded, the first leveling component 61 and the second leveling component 62 engage to achieve height leveling, maintaining the coplanar unfolded state of the first panel 31 and the second panel 32. In this embodiment, the leveling component 6 forms a fine-tuning support at the connection between the first panel 31 and the second panel 32, improving the overall flatness of the tabletop in the unfolded state.

[0032] In embodiments of this utility model, to prevent items from accidentally falling off the desktop 3, an external plate 7 is also included, which is fixedly attached to the side of the desktop 3. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the external board 7 can be in the form of a functional expansion module, a baffle, or a pad, and can be fixed by screws or glue. In this embodiment, the external board 7 provides an additional structural carrier, enhancing the versatility of the product.

[0033] In an embodiment of this utility model, to facilitate the movement of the product, the table legs 1 are provided with several casters 11. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the number of casters 11 can be configured according to the number of table legs 1 to ensure stable product support.
