During the process, the platform board extension section II6 and the platform board extension section I4 unfold in a fan shape at a uniform speed until they reach the extreme position. At this time, the platform board extension section II6 and the platform board extension section I4 play the role of extending and supporting the two platform board middle sections 5, and quickly fold and unfold, making the device more maneuverable and suitable for use with vehicle wheel spacings of multiple sizes.

[0042] Reference Figures 3 to 5 , the first driving part in this embodiment includes two guide members and a first driving member 16, which are respectively a first guide member 7 and two second guide members 8.

The two second guide members 8 are installed in the installation cavity at the edges of the two platform plate middle sections. The two ends of the first guide member 7 are correspondingly connected to the two platform plate middle sections 5, wherein the two second guide members 8 are preferably symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first guide member 7. The first driving member 16 here is selected from a telescopic cylinder, which is installed through a pin III17. Any driving member that can achieve precise telescopic function can be used after testing, such as a cylinder, etc. Considering the sliding accuracy and smoothness between the first guide member 7, the second guide member 8 and the installation cavity of the platform plate middle section 5, refer to the attached Figure 5 , 7 , 10. Nylon sliders 15 which can be adjusted with gaskets are installed around the installation cavity to adjust the installation gap of the beam and reduce sliding friction.

One end of the second driving member 11 is fixed on the middle section 5 of the platform board. The hinge assembly is hinged between the second driving member 11 and the middle section 5 of the platform board and the platform board extension section I4 or the platform board extension section II6. The second driving member 11 acts on the hinge assembly to deform so that the platform board extension section II6 and the platform board extension section I4 swing.

[0045] The second driving member 11 here is a tilting cylinder. Fig.11 , 12 It can be seen that the hinge assembly includes a first connecting rod 13 and a second connecting rod 14.
