The components and connections of the second module base 22, the third module base 24 and the fourth module base 25 are identical to those of the first module base 21. The dimensions of the module bases may vary slightly, and their positions may be adjusted according to user requirements. These details will not be repeated here.
-
The keyboard base 23 differs from the first base 21 in that the keyboard base body has a flat plate structure comprising a base plate, and the keyboard electric push rod is connected to the side of the keyboard base.
-
The display pedestal 26 differs from the first base 21 in that the display pedestal body has a flat plate structure and comprises a base plate.
-
As shown in FIG. 1, the display covering component 4 comprises a display cover plate that is compatible with the display module groove 16. The display cover plate is hinged to the desktop 19 through an automatic reset hinge, allowing the display cover plate to rotate relative to the desk body 1.

As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the keyboard covering component 5 comprises a keyboard cover plate 51 compatible with the notches 13 of the keyboard base. A concave groove sliding rail set 54 is fixed to the back of the desktop 19 and consists of left and right concave groove sliding rails of identical shape. The left and right concave groove sliding rails are staggered along the left and right sides of the keyboard cover plate 51, and the front ends of the left and right concave groove sliding rails respectively correspond to the left front and right rear ends of the keyboard cover plate 51. Downwardly bent arc-shaped rails are located at the front ends of the left and right concave groove sliding rails to guide the keyboard cover plate 51 to slide downward, and horizontal rails are located at the middle and rear sections. The left front and right rear ends of the keyboard cover plate 51 are fixedly connected to L-shaped sliding blocks 53. The upper ends of the L-shaped sliding blocks 53 are fixedly connected to the keyboard cover plate 51, while the lower ends are slidably connected to the concave groove sliding rail set 54. The bottom end of the electric push rod 52 for the keyboard covering component is hinged to a support 17, and its top end is hinged to the rear of the keyboard cover plate 51.
-
When the keyboard covering component 5 needs to be closed, the controller 6 energises the electric push rod 52 of the keyboard covering component 5, causing it to extend and push the keyboard cover plate 51 to slide forward along the concave groove sliding rail set 54. Since the left and right concave groove sliding rails are staggered and correspond to the left front and right rear ends of the keyboard cover plate 51 respectively, the forward and backward movements of the keyboard cover plate 51 remain synchronized. In other words, the keyboard cover plate 51 moves upward horizontally until fully closed. The inclined surface 18 is designed to prevent interference between the keyboard covering component 5 and the desktop 19 during upward and downward movements.
-
As shown in FIG. 9, the electrical wiring system 7 comprises a drag chain cable and a cable drag chain 71, with the drag chain cable arranged in the cable drag chain 71. The cable drag chain is divided into horizontal and vertical sections. The horizontal cable drag chain 711 is arranged in a T shape at the back of the desktop 19, with the left and right horizontal parts of the horizontal cable drag chain 711 arranged between the rear module bases, and the front and rear horizontal parts extend to the side of the keyboard base 23. The vertical cable drag chain 712 extends downward from the horizontal cable drag chain near the base of each module to the bottom of each module base.
-
The controller 6 is electrically and signal-connected to the module bases respectively through the electrical wiring system 7, enabling it to control the motorized lifting of each module as well as the centralized control of the functional modules.
-
The working process of the utility model is as follows:
As shown in FIG. 1, when not in use, the controller 6 is operated to energize the electric push rod of the module bases in the module base group 2 and extend to drive the module bases of the module base group 2, allowing the module base group 2 to be concealed beneath the desktop 19. When the display pedestal 26 descends to the appropriate position, the display covering component 4 automatically closes under the action of the automatic reset hinge. The keyboard base 23 and the keyboard covering component 5 operate in coordination; after the keyboard base 23 descends into position, the controller 6 energizes the electric push rod 52 of the keyboard covering component 5 to extend and push the keyboard cover plate 51 to slide forward along the concave groove sliding rail set 54 until it closes. At this point, the desktop forms a flat surface.
-
As shown in FIG. 10, during operation, the user selects the corresponding module base and operates the controller 6. The controller 6 then energizes the electric push rod of the module base, causing it to retract, driving the module base to slide upward and extend out of the desktop 19. As the display pedestal 26 rises, it rotates the display covering component 4 backward. When the keyboard base 23 needs to be opened, the keyboard base 23 and the keyboard covering component 5 operate in coordination. The controller 6 first energizes the electric push rod 52 of the keyboard covering component 5 and retracts to drive the keyboard cover plate 51 to slide backward along the concave groove sliding rail set 54 until it is fully opened. The controller 6 then raises or lowers the keyboard base 23 to the appropriate position.
-
The cable drag chain is a chain-like structure composed of multiple hinged links, allowing it to adapt to the frequent movement of the module base. The drag chain cable exhibits high flexibility and wear resistance, ensuring reliable performance and a long service life under frequent bending and movement conditions. The automatic reset hinge contains an internal spring, enabling automatic return to its original position. The cable drag chain, the drag chain cable and the automatic reset hinge are part of the prior art but not part of the inventive concept of the utility model. Therefore, they will not be elaborated further here.
Embodiment 2:
-
As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, in Embodiment 2, all other structures remain unchanged. The difference lies in that the standard module base 21A utilizes a spring self-locking mechanism for raising and lowering. The spring 215A is sleeved on the guide rail 212A and installed between the sliding block 213A and the limit boss at the bottom of the guide rail 212A. A guide groove 217 is provided on the back of the standard module base body 211A and consists of a heart-shaped segment and a straight segment, with the lower end of the heart-shaped segment connected to the straight segment. The locking hook 218 is hinged to the back of the desk body, allowing it to rotate left and right relative to the standard module base body 211A, while the curved hook of the locking hook 218 is slidably connected to the guide groove 217. In this embodiment, the locking hook 218 slides clockwise along the guide groove 217, and the heart-shaped segment is equipped with several non-return bosses at positions that prevent the locking hook 218 from sliding backward. In this embodiment, the heart-shaped segment is sequentially equipped with a non-return boss 2171, a non-return boss 2172, a non-return boss 2173 and a non-return boss 2174.
-
Operating process: As shown in FIG. 11, the standard module base 21A is initially in the closed state. To open the standard module base 21A, press the top of the standard module base 21A by hand to slide it downward. Under the thrust of the non-return boss 2172, the locking hook 218 deflects to the right and contacts the upper right side of the heart-shaped segment. Release the hand; due to the obstruction of the non-return boss 2173, the locking hook 218 cannot deflect back and can only slide relative to the guide groove 217 along the far right side of the guide groove 217. The standard module base body 211A is driven by the force of the spring 215A to slide upward until the locking hook 218 contacts the lowest end of the straight segment. At this point, the position of the standard module base body 211A is restricted by the locking hook 218. To close the functional module, press the top of the standard module base 21A by hand to slide it downward. The locking hook 218 deflects to the left side of the heart-shaped segment due to the obstruction of the non-return boss 2174, until it can no longer be pressed. At this point, the locking hook 218 contacts the upper left side of the heart-shaped segment. Then, release the hand; under the thrust of the non-return boss 2171, the locking hook 218 moves to the concave area above the heart-shaped segment, thereby restricting the position of the standard module base 21A, as shown in FIG. 12.
Embodiment 3:
-
As shown in FIG. 13, in Embodiment 3, all other structures remain unchanged. The difference lies in that the longitudinal section of the standard module base 21B is fan-shaped, and the top rear edge of the standard module base 21B is hinged to the desk body 1. One end of the electric push rod 215B is hinged to the lower edge near the back of the standard module base body 211B, while the other end is hinged to the desk body 1.
-
Operating process: As shown in FIG. 13, the standard module base 21B is initially in the closed state. To open the standard module base 21B, the controller 6 controls the electric push rod 215B, causing it to extend and rotate, thereby raising the module base onto the desk body 1.
Embodiment 4:
-
As shown in FIG. 14, in Embodiment 4, all other structures remain unchanged. The difference lies in that the display pedestal is fixedly connected to a display holder, which comprises a base 91. A support rod 92 is hinged to the base 91 and can rotate relative to the base 91, and a cross-shaped connecting frame 93 is hinged to the top of the support rod 92, allowing it to rotate up and down relative to the base 91.
-
During operation, the display is mounted onto the cross-shaped connecting frame 93. Since the support rod 92 can rotate left and right relative to the base 91 and the cross-shaped connecting frame 93 can rotate up and down relative to the base 91, the display angle can be adjusted by 360 degrees.
