The study table is based on in-depth research on the three major disciplines of ergonomics, human mechanics, and human physiology, combined with human vision principles, color science, psychology, etc., after countless data collection, experiments and demonstrations , a new, scientific, humane and practical learning aid generated through continuous improvement and innovation. The study table and the traditional desk are two completely different concepts.
The angle-adjustable tilting desktop design allows users to sit upright naturally and assume a comfortable reading and writing posture. And the angle can be adjusted at will according to different learning states, such as reading, writing, drawing, calligraphy, etc., different desktop angles can be used. On the one hand, users can easily write and read without bending the spine significantly, allowing the body to relax and lean on the chair; on the other hand, through the height-adjustable tabletop, the viewing distance can be naturally maintained at a scientific position, unlike traditional desks. You have to straighten your back straight to maintain it. That is, the table adapts to the human body, rather than the human body adapting to the table. The tilting methods of common products currently on the market:
The first generation only has a fixed bevel
The second generation has a fixed bevel and a flat surface (low-end),
The third generation has segmented (4-8 segments) to adjust the slope (mid-range),
The fourth generation has no segments (any position) to adjust the slope (high-end function)
The advantage of freely adjusting the angle of the desktop is not only convenient operation, but also more user-friendly and safer. Desks have entered the "era of humanized fine-tuning of desktop angles." High lifting design. Users can freely adjust the desktop height that suits them best according to the height of different age groups. Studying and working are no longer troubled by height, and they can control their own comfortable sitting posture. The study table is like a good friend that accompanies the child's growth. The common lifting methods at this stage, in order of emergence, are:
The first generation of hand lifting (the desktop is lifted and fixed with a latch, and requires two people to operate)
The second generation The third generation of hand cranking (operation becomes simple, but large lifting and lowering takes time)
The third generation of air pressure (simple operation, fast lifting and lowering)
Current manufacturers are developing electric lift tables. The operation will be numerically controlled and remote controlled, but the cost will be too high and it will take time to become popular. Practicality of table material. Due to its design concept from small to large, the most important material feature of the study table is durability, otherwise it will not last long even if the lifting range is large. Therefore, traditional solid wood boards and painted veneer boards are no longer suitable as study table boards. In addition, modern study desks have higher requirements from a human perspective, such as easy scrubbing, soft reflection, and beautiful appearance. Currently, mid- to low-priced products generally use melamine boards, which have acceptable physical and chemical properties, but are prone to degumming and cracking upon impact. High-end products use American Formica’s MSI fireproof board, which has ultra-high resistance Impact, wear resistance, and deformation resistance are among the top table materials currently.
Space utilization. A good study table, in addition to its functional practicability, is also a piece of furniture and must be considered from the perspective of space utilization. There should be enough space on the table to place commonly used books and stationery. On the other hand, it is a writing desk now and may become a computer desk as needed in a few years. A few manufacturers advocate leaving a groove at the front edge of the table for the child's body to fit into, saying that this way the arms can be fully supported by the tabletop when writing and will not be suspended in the air. More people in the industry think this is inappropriate for two reasons: 1. This will undoubtedly reduce the already limited desktop area, and it can only be used for writing, making it even more difficult to use as a computer desk; 2. This groove will not As children grow older, will a 3-year-old child and an 18-year-old adult have the same experience in this cave? Therefore, it does not conform to the "growth" concept of the study table. 3. Designs that restrict activities obliterate children’s nature and are not in line with the universal concept of furniture design. After the author's experiments, the conclusion is that as long as the desktop is spacious enough, the arms can be fully supported when writing on a straight-edge desktop.
The materials used are environmentally friendly. Study tables are generally used by children since childhood. Children’s resistance is much worse than that of adults. Therefore, the formaldehyde emission index must strictly comply with the international E1 level or above standard (the so-called E0 level is China’s unique There are standards, which are only equivalent to the international E1 level). The surface of the plate must be wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, and dirt-resistant. No sharp corners are allowed on the contact surface. The overall structure must be strong and not easy to shake.
By the way, the highest internationally accepted standard for such products is: Greenguard for Children.
The use of bookends in front of the desk, because the desktop is relatively smooth, tilting the desktop will cause the books to slide down, so an accessory that can block the books is needed. Different manufacturers have different designs for this. There are two most common designs: 1. Aluminum alloy pen slot type bookends, which have the advantage of being able to place some stationery; 2. PU bookends, which are very skin-friendly and have a wrist-protecting effect. , it is also very suitable for placing a keyboard on the desktop in the future.
The lifting mechanism of the study table has been formed in five stages through continuous improvement and innovation. Because the difference in production costs is relatively large, these four products currently exist on the market.
