Abstract

A table elevating device includes: a table, formed with a bottom surface, a first side edge and a second side edge spaced away from the first side edge; a support mechanism, vertically disposed for supporting the table, and at least including an electric pushing rod used for driving the support mechanism to be elevated; a driver, served to drive the electric pushing rod to be operated via electric power; and a controller, including a case body having a first case part and a second case part and disposed on the bottom surface, and a control circuit unit electrically connected to the driver; wherein, the second case part is formed with an expansion hole oriented to face the second side edge along an extending direction defined from the interior towards the exterior.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A table elevating device, comprising:
a table, formed with a bottom surface, a first side edge formed at one side of the bottom surface and a second side edge formed at another side of the bottom surface, wherein the first side edge is spaced away from the second side edge;
a support mechanism, disposed for supporting the table at a vertical direction, and at least including an electric pushing rod used for driving the support mechanism to be elevated;
a driver, served to drive the electric pushing rod to be operated via electric power; and
a controller, including a case body and a control circuit unit disposed in the case body, wherein the case body is disposed on the bottom surface of the table and arranged to be close to the first side edge, and the control circuit unit is electrically connected to the driver;
wherein, the case body includes a first case part and a second case part, the second case part is arranged at an opposite side with respect to the first case part and the second case part is formed with an expansion hole, and the expansion hole is oriented to face the second side edge of the table along an extending direction that is defined from the interior towards the exterior and intersects with the second side edge;
wherein the first case part is tilted outwardly to be away from the first side edge and downwardly to be away from the bottom surface, and both a length and a height of the first case part along the first side edge and the vertical direction, respectively, are larger than that of the second case part so that the second case part is concealed by viewing from the first case part.

2. The table elevating device according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom surface is further formed with two third side edges arranged between the first side edge and the second side edge.

3. The table elevating device according to claim 2 , wherein the first side edge of the table is divided into a linear front edge and at least an inclined edge at one side of the front edge, and the two third side edges on the bottom surface of the table are arranged between the inclined edge and the second side edge.

4. The table elevating device according to claim 2 , wherein the amount of the support mechanism is two, and the two support mechanisms are disposed at the two third side edges of the table, a supporter is provided on the bottom surface of the table for connecting the two support mechanisms, and the extending direction is defined as passing the supporter then being perpendicular to the second side edge.

5. The table elevating device according to claim 1 , wherein a minimum distance defined from a hole edge of the expansion hole to the first side edge is smaller than a minimum distance defined from the expansion hole to the second side edge.

6. The table elevating device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller further includes a display screen.

7. The table elevating device according to claim 1 , wherein the control circuit unit includes a control circuit board and a plurality of control buttons disposed on the control circuit board, and the plural control buttons are partially exposed on the first case part.

8. The table elevating device according to claim 7 , wherein the control buttons are rotary buttons and press buttons.

9. The table elevating device according to claim 1 , wherein an expansion circuit unit is disposed in the second case part, the expansion circuit unit includes an expansion circuit board and an expansion connector disposed on the expansion circuit board, the expansion connector is corresponding to the expansion hole and allows an expansion accessory to be connected to the expansion connector via the expansion hole.

10. The table elevating device according to claim 9 , wherein the expansion connector is a connector with RJ specification.
