DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(8) Hereinafter, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be explained and illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings corresponding to the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, the embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without exercise of inventive work based on the examples in the embodiments all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

(9) In the description below, the orientation or position relationships indicated by the terms “inner,” “outer,” “upper,” “lower,” left,” and “right,” etc. are intended only for facilitating or simplifying description of the present disclosure, not for indicating or implying that the devices or elements have to possess those specific orientations and have to be configured and operated with those specific orientations; therefore, they should not be understood as limitations to the present disclosure.

(10) Embodiment 1

(11) As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, a desktop lifting platform is provided. In this embodiment, the desktop lifting platform is mainly disposed on a work platform like a desk. The desktop lifting platform in this embodiment comprises a base 4 and a lifting column, and the desktop lifting platform further comprises a supporting plate 100 which is driven by the lifting column 5 to rise or descend. The supporting plate 100 in this embodiment is provided with a hindered-to-flip-up structure 200, the supporting plate 100 comprises a fixing plate 1 and a flip plate 2 in rotatable connection with the fixing plate. The flip plate 2 is limited by a limiting device from downward rotation, such that items like a keyboard may be directly disposed on the flip plate 2. Alternatively, a desktop board 6 may be separately provided. The desktop board 6 is fixedly assembled on the flip plate 2, while the fixing plate may be directly mounted on the lifting column 5. A display may also be mounted on the lifting column 5.

(12) The hindered-to-flip-up structure 200 in this embodiment is shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4:

(13) In this embodiment, the limiting device includes an upper arcuate plate 11 and a lower arcuate plate 21, wherein the upper arcuate plate 11 is provided at the bottom of the fixing plate 1, and the lower arcuate plate 21 is provided on the top of the flip plate 2, the fixing plate 1 and the flip plate 2 being rotatably connected via a rotating shaft 3, the upper arcuate plate 11 and the lower arcuate plate 21 surrounding two sides of the rotating shaft 3.

(14) Particularly, the upper arcuate plate 11 includes a first upper end face 11a and a first lower end face 11b, and the lower arcuate plate 21 includes a second upper end face 21a and a second lower end face 21b, as shown in FIG. 5, wherein in a free state, owing to self-weight of the flip plate 2, the second lower end face 21b on the lower arcuate plate 21 abutting the first lower end face 11b of the upper arcuate plate 11, such that the flip plate 2 cannot further rotate counterclockwise.

(15) Further, in a free state, a circumferential gap d exists between the second upper end face 21a of the lower arcuate plate 21 and the first upper end face 11a of the upper arcuate plate 11. Due to existence of the gap d, when the flip plate 2 is subjected to an upward acting force, the upper arcuate plate 11 will rotate clockwise, naturally achieving the objective of flipping the flip board 2 upwardly when being hindered.

(16) Additionally, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 65, the flip plate 2 comprises a horizontal plate 201 and a flip plate 202, wherein the included angle α between the horizontal plate 201 and the tilted plate 202 is preferably greater than 90°; because if the included angle α is less than or equal to 90°, when the flip plate 2 is subjected to an acting force, it is possible that the flip plate 2 is driven to rotate counterclockwise, while due to being limited by the limiting device, the flip plate 2 cannot rotate counterclockwise; in this case, if the flip plate 2 is continuously driven to rotate counterclockwise, it easily causes the electric motor to be overloaded, thereby damaging the desktop lifting platform.

(17) What have been described above are only preferred embodiments of the present disclosure; however, the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. A person skilled in the art should understand that the present disclosure includes, but not limited to the contents described in the drawings and the preferred embodiments. Any modifications without departing from the functions and structural principles of the present disclosure will be included within the scope of the claims.
