1. A lifting mechanism comprising:
a cross-arm assembly comprising a first combined arm and a second combined arm arranged in parallel, the first and second combined arms each comprising a first support member and a second support member, the length of the first support member being greater than the length of the second support member, and one end of the second support member being hinged on the first support member, the free ends of the first and second combined arms forming four groups of support points, the cross-arm assembly forming a first Y-shaped structure with a first long side and a first short side hinged together and a second Y-shaped structure with a second long side and a second short side hinged together, the first long side and the second short side being in parallel and the first short side and the second long side being in parallel;
a support connection assembly comprising a first rotational connection assembly and a first sliding connection assembly fixed to a base, and a second rotational connection assembly and a second sliding connection assembly fixed to the bottom side of a table top, the first and second sliding connection assemblies each comprising a slide rail and a moving member rotatably and slidably arranged in the slide rail, the four groups of support points formed by the free ends of the first and second combined arms being rotatably connected to the first rotational connection assembly, the second rotational connection assembly, and the two moving members, respectively; and
a driving member connected to the cross-arm assembly and/or the support connection assembly for driving the moving members to change their position on the slide rail;
wherein the four groups of support points formed by the free ends of the first and second combined arms form a parallelogram, the first and second sliding connection assemblies being provided on the same side, and when the position of the moving members within the slide rail is changed, the side lengths of the parallelogram are changed to adjust the distance between the table top and the base.
