[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] 1. This invention enables the servo motor to rotate a square-hole round tube, which in turn rotates a square rod, which in turn rotates a transmission rod. The rotation of the transmission rod, through the meshing of a transmission bevel gear and a driven bevel gear, drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft causes two rectangular blocks to rotate and causes adjacent hollow cylinders to flip downwards, making the two hollow cylinders perpendicular to the ground. Then, two second cylinders are activated to push two lifting blocks downwards. The downward movement of the lifting blocks causes the movable ring to slide downwards on the outside of the hollow cylinders, thereby bringing several load-bearing plates into contact with the ground. Then, two first cylinders are activated to pull two support plates away from each other, so that the bottom of the two support plates respectively fits against the top of the adjacent rectangular blocks. This provides support for the middle of the semi-trailer during loading and unloading, effectively preventing the middle of the trailer from breaking under stress. At the same time, it avoids the shaft from breaking due to excessive load.

[0014] 2. This invention, through the installation of a motor housing and dust cover, can provide dust protection for the servo motor and drive components, thereby improving the service life of the components. When the servo motor needs to be inspected and maintained, pulling the pull ring moves the insertion rod to the left, and the limit block squeezes the spring to the left, thereby pulling the right end of the insertion rod out of the blind hole cavity. Then, pushing the motor housing upward moves it, causing the positioning block to disengage from the positioning groove cavity. The upward movement of the motor housing drives the servo motor upward, causing the square hole tube to disengage from the outside of the square rod. Finally, by pulling the motor housing to the left, the servo motor can be removed from the support device, improving the convenience of inspection and maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Working Principle: In use, the invention utilizes several threaded holes to facilitate the bolting of the mounting plate 1 to the bottom of the semi-trailer. When support is needed for the semi-trailer, the servo motor 18 rotates the square-hole tube 22, which in turn rotates the square rod 21 and the transmission rod 20. The transmission rod 20, through the meshing of the transmission bevel gear 19 and the driven bevel gear 5, rotates the rotating shaft 4. The rotating shaft 4 rotates the two rectangular blocks 3, causing the adjacent hollow cylinders 8 to flip downwards, making them perpendicular to the ground. The movable shaft 7 allows the hollow cylinders 8 to rotate, adjusting the positions of the load-bearing plates 13 to prevent uneven ground from affecting the stability of the support. Next, two second cylinders 9 are activated to push two lifting blocks 10 downwards. The downward movement of the lifting blocks 10 causes the movable ring 11 to slide downwards on the outside of the hollow cylinders 8, bringing the load-bearing plates 13 into contact with the ground. Finally, two first cylinders 16 are activated. Pulling the two support plates 15 away from each other, so that the bottom of the two support plates 15 respectively fits against the top of the adjacent rectangular block 3, can support the middle position of the semi-trailer during loading and unloading, effectively preventing the middle of the truck bed from breaking under stress. At the same time, it can prevent the shaft 4 from breaking due to excessive load. In addition, the motor housing 6 and dust cover 17 can protect the servo motor 18 and drive components from dust, improving the service life of the components. When the servo motor 18 needs to be inspected and maintained, the pull ring 3 can be pulled. 1. Move the insertion rod 29 to the left and squeeze the spring 30 to the left through the limiting block 28, thereby pulling the right end of the insertion rod 29 out of the blind hole cavity. Then, push the motor housing 6 to move upward and make the positioning block 26 disengage from the positioning groove 25 cavity. The upward movement of the motor housing 6 drives the servo motor 18 to move upward and makes the square hole round tube 22 disengage from the outside of the square rod 21. Then, by pulling the motor housing 6 to the left, the servo motor 18 can be removed from the support device, which improves the convenience of inspection and maintenance.

[0027] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
