The column extends substantially along a direction of gravity, and the accommodating space is defined by the column. A first connector is fixed to the column and includes a first side opening and a first channel, the first channel connecting the accommodating space and the first side opening. A second connector includes a second side opening and a second channel that communicate with each other. A linkage module includes an upper shell and a first lower connecting rod. The first lower connecting rod is pivotally connected to one side of the first connector and the second connector. The upper shell covers the first lower connecting rod and is spaced apart from the first lower connecting rod, and covers the first side opening and the second side opening. A support module for supporting the display, pivotally connected to the second connector, and including a central through hole and two electrical connectors; and a wire passing through the accommodating space, the first channel, the first side opening, the second side opening, the second channel and the central through hole, and electrically connected to the electrical connectors, and located between the upper housing and the first lower connecting rod, thereby preventing the wire from physically interfering with the first connector and avoiding wire jamming when the second connector and the support module move up and down relative to the first connector in the direction of gravity via the connecting rod module.

2. The support device as described in claim 1, wherein, The upper shell has a first side plate that covers the first lower connecting rod. The first side opening and the second side opening face the first side plate, and the wire is located between the first side plate and the first lower connecting rod.

3. The support device as described in claim 2, wherein, The linkage module further includes a lower housing, which is interlocked with the upper housing and has at least two lower limiting portions. The upper housing also has at least two upper limiting portions, which are spaced apart from each other on the first side plate and respectively correspond to the lower limiting portions. In this way, the wire is limited by the upper limiting portions and the lower limiting portions and does not contact the first lower linkage.

4. The support device as described in claim 3, wherein, The second connector further includes a second body, a second extension, a shaft, and a cover. The second channel is defined by the second body, the second side opening is formed on one side of the second body, the second extension extends outward from the second body, the shaft passes through the second extension, the cover is fixed to the second extension, and the wire, after passing through the second side opening and the second channel, is accommodated between the second extension and the cover and bends around the shaft.

5. The support device as described in claim 4, wherein, The load-bearing module further includes a first tilting member, a second tilting member, and a shaft. The first tilting member is pivotally connected to the second extension via the shaft. The shaft passes through the first tilting member and the second tilting member, allowing the second tilting member to tilt relative to the first tilting member with the shaft as its axis. The central through hole is provided in the second tilting member.

6. The support device as described in claim 5, wherein, The first tilting member has a main plate, two pivot plates, two rotating plates, and a slot. The pivot plates extend outward from opposite sides of the main plate and are pivotally connected to the second extension via the shaft. The rotating plates extend outward from the other opposite sides of the main plate and are pivotally connected to the second tilting member via the shaft. The slot passes through the main plate and one of the pivot plates. The wire bends around the shaft, passes through the slot, and is limited by the main plate.

7. The support device as described in claim 6, wherein, The second tilting component has a main body, two frames and a shaft. The frames extend outward from opposite sides of the main body and are pivotally connected to the rotating piece via the shaft. The shaft extends outward from the surface of the main body. The central through hole is provided in the shaft and the main body. The wire passes through the slot and is located between the frames, and bends around the shaft and passes through the central through hole.

8. The support device as described in claim 7, wherein, The load-bearing module further includes a front housing, a disc body, and a through hole. The through hole is disposed in the disc body and allows the shaft body to pass through. The front housing is assembled on the front side of the disc body. The electrical connectors are fixed to the disc body at intervals and exposed in the front housing. The wire includes two ends, which are disposed between the disc body and the front housing and are electrically connected to the electrical connectors respectively.

9. The support device as described in any one of claims 1 to 8, wherein, The linkage module further includes a first upper linkage, a second upper linkage, and a second lower linkage. The first upper linkage is pivotally connected to one side of the first connector and the second connector and is spaced apart from the first lower linkage. The second upper linkage and the second lower linkage are pivotally connected to the other side of the first connector and the second connector, spaced apart from each other. The upper shell simultaneously covers the first lower linkage, the first upper linkage, the second upper linkage, and the second lower linkage.

10. The support device as described in claim 9, wherein, The first lower link, the first upper link, the second upper link, and the second lower link together form a parallel four-bar linkage.

11. The support device as described in claim 10, wherein, The linkage module further includes an upper shaft pin, a lower shaft pin, and a pneumatic rod. The upper shaft pin connects the first upper linkage and the second upper linkage and is adjacent to the second connector. The lower shaft pin connects the first lower linkage and the second lower linkage and is adjacent to the first connector. The pneumatic rod connects the upper shaft pin and the lower shaft pin and is used to constantly provide a supporting force.

12. The support device as described in claim 11, wherein, The pneumatic rod has a pressure tube and a piston rod connected to each other. The pressure tube is pivotally connected to the upper shaft pin, and the piston rod is pivotally connected to the lower shaft pin. When an external force is applied to the display to make the display move up and down, the pressure tube pivots about the upper shaft pin and the piston rod pivots about the lower shaft pin, and the piston rod and the pressure tube expand and contract relative to each other. When the external force is removed, the display can stop by the supporting force.
