[0015] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0016] Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a perspective view according to the present invention. A table elevating device comprising a table 1, a support mechanism 2, a driver 3 and a controller 4 is provided by the present invention.

[0017] The table 1 can be served as a desk surface, a top surface thereof allows a user to use, and the table 1 is formed with a bottom surface 10 (as shown in FIG. 5) for allowing the above-mentioned components to be disposed thereon. The table 1 is formed with a first side edge 11 arranged at one side of the bottom surface 10, and a second side edge 12 arranged at another side of the bottom surface 10; according to this embodiment, the bottom surface 10 is further formed with two third side edges 13 arranged between the first side edge 11 and the second side edge 12, so that the first side edge 11 is spaced away from the second side edge 12.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 1, the support mechanism 2 is vertically disposed for supporting the table 1, and the support mechanism 2 at least includes an electric pushing rod 20. The electric pushing rod 20 is driven by the driver 3 via electric power so as to be operated, thus the support mechanism 2 can be driven to be elevated or descended for adjusting the height of the table 1.

[0019] Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the controller 4 includes a case body 40 and a control circuit unit 41 disposed in the case body 40. The controller 4 is disposed on the bottom surface 10 of the table 1 and arranged to be close to the first side edge 11, and the control circuit unit 41 is electrically connected to the driver 3 via a wiring means. Details are provided as follows. The case body 40 includes a first case part 400 and a second case part 401. The control circuit unit 41 includes a control circuit board 410 and a plurality of control buttons 411 disposed on the control circuit board 410, the plural control buttons 411 are partially exposed on the first case part 400 for allowing a user to operate. The control buttons 411 can be rotary buttons 411a and press buttons 411b which are selectively adopted with respect to the actual needs. In addition, the control circuit board 410 is electrically connected to the driver 3, so that when the user operates the control buttons 411, the driver 3 can be correspondingly operated. Moreover, the controller 4 further includes a display screen 400a, the display screen 400a is disposed on the first case part 400 and arranged at the same side as the plural control buttons 411, so that relevant operating information can be displayed for allowing the user to view during the operation.

[0020] The second case part 401 is arranged at an opposite side with respect to the first case part 400, and the first case part 400 and the second case part 401 can be integrally formed.
