This utility model provides a button-type folding column and a commercial scale including it. The button-type folding column includes a first column, a second column, a cover, a button assembly and a locking member, and the cover is connected to the lower end of the first column. The button assembly connects the cover and the upper end of the second column. The locking member is mounted on the end of the button assembly. When the button assembly is pressed, the locking member is moved outward and separated from the side of the second column. When the button assembly is released, the button assembly retracts and moves the locking member inward to engage with the side of the second column. This utility model adopts a push-button type structure to solve the problem of reduced torque due to long-term wear of torque hinges. The gear structure has a better structural stability, and the position of the column is not easily affected by external forces when it is fixed.
