Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive radiator manufacturing technology, and in particular to an automated core-assembly machine for automotive radiators. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive radiator is an indispensable component of the automotive cooling system, its main function being to dissipate heat and ensure the engine operates within a suitable temperature range. The automatic radiator core assembly machine integrates multiple automated mechanisms and control systems to automate the entire process from conveying, arranging, lifting, and assembling the radiator pipes and radiator strips to pressing the cores, significantly improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Currently, the assembly of automotive radiator cores mostly requires manual operation in conjunction with machines. For example, a Chinese patent discloses a semi-automatic assembly device for automotive radiator production, specifically a partition loading and unloading device (authorization announcement number CN218144306U). During loading, the gripper holds the handle, causing the sliding rod to slide backward within the constraint tube, positioning the top plate at the rear of the loading frame. This frees up space within the loading frame, allowing multiple stacked partition pieces to be placed in front of the top plate within the loading frame. Then, a spring acts, guiding the top plate forward through the constraint tube and sliding rod, ensuring the top plate presses firmly against the multiple partition pieces. During unloading, a hydraulic cylinder acts on a telescopic rod, causing it to slide down once. This telescopic rod then pushes the foremost partition piece downward through the unloading groove, placing it on the top of the unloading plate for workers to retrieve and use. This process achieves centralized loading and individual unloading, improving work efficiency and reliability.

[0004] Because the above device uses a spring as a horizontal pushing and clamping structure for the partition, when the worker places the partition, the worker needs to compress the spring to a preset size before the partition can be placed into the loading frame. In order to ensure that the partition is effectively clamped, the spring needs to be selected with a telescopic range greater than that of the loading frame. This undoubtedly increases the difficulty for the worker to compress the spring before loading, and slows down the efficiency of radiator core assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automated radiator core assembly machine to address the problem that the existing automated radiator core assembly machines have high material loading difficulty, resulting in low radiator core assembly efficiency.

[0006] An automated radiator core assembly machine includes: an assembly table, on the surface of which are mounted a compaction mechanism for compacting the radiator core, a limiting arrangement mechanism for limiting the protective plates, and an arrangement and feeding mechanism for arranging the protective plates. The compaction mechanism and the limiting arrangement mechanism are interleaved. The top of the arrangement and feeding mechanism is equipped with an anti-detachment mechanism to assist the compaction mechanism in compacting the core.

[0007] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a guide rail, the bottom of which is slidably connected to two first electric slide rails, both of which are fixedly connected to the assembly table. The guide rail and the first electric slide rails are perpendicular to each other. The surface of the guide rail is slidably connected to two electric trolleys. The surface of each electric trolley is fixedly connected to a feeding rack. The opposite ends of the two feeding racks are provided with feeding slots for placing the tube segments. The vertical cross-sectional shape of the feeding slot is L-shaped, and the cross-sectional shape of the bottom wall of the feeding slot is arc-shaped. One end of the feeding rack is fixedly connected to an electric push rod. The bottom of the electric push rod is provided with a pushing wedge that is flush with the side opening of the feeding slot. The surface of the feeding rack is equipped with a conveying assembly. In one embodiment, the feeding mechanism can use gravity to keep the guard plate close to the pusher wedge without power, so as to ensure that the pusher wedge can perform the pushing operation more stably.

[0008] Furthermore, the material conveying assembly includes a mounting box fixedly connected to the top of the feeding frame. The top of the mounting box has a guide opening communicating with the feeding trough. A storage frame is hinged to the top of the mounting box. One end of the storage frame has evenly distributed guide grooves, all communicating with the guide opening. A belt is internally connected to the mounting box, and evenly distributed adjusting blocks are fixedly connected to the surface of the belt. One end of some of the adjusting blocks extends into the interior of the guide opening. The feeding trough and guide grooves are staggered with the adjusting blocks. The width of the feeding trough and guide groove is the same as the distance between two adjacent adjusting blocks. A pulley, rotatably connected to the mounting box, is internally connected to the belt. One of the pulleys is fixedly connected to the inner side of a one-way bearing. A circular tube is fixedly connected to the inner edge of the one-way bearing. A spiral groove is fixedly connected inside the circular tube. An adjusting rod, which is fixedly connected to a pusher wedge, is slidably connected inside the circular tube. A guide block, which is slidably connected to the spiral groove, is fixedly connected to the surface of the adjusting rod. The locking direction of the one-way bearing, the direction in which the belt drives the adjusting block to move from the electric push rod to the feeding trough, and the direction in which the pusher wedge drives the adjusting rod to move downward are all the same. The rotation angle of the circular tube driven by the pusher wedge through the adjusting rod, guide block, and spiral groove is the same as the rotation angle of the adjusting block driven by the pulley through the belt to move to the original position of the adjacent adjusting block.

[0009] In one embodiment, each time the pusher wedge performs a pushing action, the pusher wedge can unidirectionally drive the conveying assembly to add a guard plate inside the feeding trough during the pushing process. This ensures that the number of guard plates inside the feeding trough remains constant, so that the guard plates in the feeding trough can constantly press against each other under the action of gravity, so that they can stick tightly to the pusher wedge without power, and there will be no situation where the guard plates in the feeding trough become loose and separate, thereby ensuring that the pusher wedge can effectively push the guard plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the material conveying assembly also includes an electric cylinder and a guiding module. The output shaft of the electric cylinder is slidably connected to one end of the storage frame, and the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting box. The storage frame has evenly distributed sliding cavities that are respectively connected to adjacent guide grooves. The guiding module includes a stop block slidably connected to the inside of the sliding cavity. A spring piece is fixedly connected between the stop block and the sliding cavity. An adjustment frame is slidably connected to the surface of the spring piece. The bottom of the adjustment frame passes through the sliding cavity and contacts the mounting box.

[0011] In one embodiment, the feeding assembly adopts a rotatable design, which reduces the height at which the worker places the guard plate into the guide trough, making the placement operation easier and reducing the difficulty of feeding. At the same time, the stop block can also automatically block the guard plate to prevent it from sliding out of the guide trough. When the storage frame is vertical, the stop block can also automatically separate from the guard plate, allowing the guard plate in the corresponding guide trough to fall into the guide port or feeding trough, enabling it to feed automatically.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner side of the belt and the surface of the pulley are provided with uniformly distributed reinforcing teeth, and two adjacent reinforcing teeth are meshed together.

[0013] In one embodiment, this can increase the stability of the pulley drive belt and prevent belt slippage.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner corners of the adjustment frame are rounded, and the surface of the spring contactes the rounded corners of the adjustment frame.

[0015] In one embodiment, this reduces the probability of the spring being excessively bent, ensuring that the spring can be used normally.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom cross-sectional shape of the adjustment frame is arc-shaped, and the corners of the bottom of the adjustment frame are rounded.

[0017] In one embodiment, this reduces the probability of the adjustment frame getting stuck with the mounting box, ensuring that the storage frame can rotate normally.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottom of the storage frame is provided with guide cavities that are evenly distributed and communicate with adjacent sliding cavities, and the guide cavities are slidably connected to the adjustment frame.

[0019] In one embodiment, this can limit the movement trajectory of the adjustment box to ensure that the adjustment box can move normally.

[0020] Furthermore, the vertical cross-sectional shape of the contact area between the guide cavity and the adjustment frame is a matching rectangle.

[0021] In one embodiment, this can prevent the adjustment frame from rotating or shifting with a high probability, further ensuring that the adjustment frame can move normally.

[0022] Furthermore, the compaction mechanism includes two first electric cylinders, both installed inside the assembly table. The output end of each first electric cylinder is fixedly connected to an extrusion bar, and the two extrusion bars are opposite each other.

[0023] In one embodiment, this enables the main plate, protective plate, heat pipes, and heat sink to be automatically compacted together to form a heat sink core that meets the requirements.

[0024] Furthermore, the defined arrangement mechanism includes two translation electric slide rails, with a flip motor fixedly connected to the top of each translation electric slide rail. The output shaft of the flip motor is fixedly connected to an installation mold, and toothed positioning arrangement plates are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the two installation molds.

[0025] In one embodiment, the limiting arrangement mechanism not only limits the main plate with heat pipes to the corresponding position, but also limits the installation position of the protective plate and heat sink, so as to ensure that the main plate, protective plate, heat pipes and heat sink can be assembled in the corresponding position.

[0026] Furthermore, the anti-detachment mechanism includes a mounting bracket fixedly connected to the surface of the guide rail, a second electric slide rail fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting bracket, a guide rail type lift fixedly connected to the surface of the second electric slide rail, and a pressure plate fixedly connected to the output end of the guide rail type lift.

[0027] In one embodiment, the anti-detachment mechanism can prevent the main plate, protective plate, heat pipe, or heat sink from moving upward during the compaction process by pressing down, thereby improving the quality of the finished radiator core.

[0028] The aforementioned automated core-loading machine for automotive radiators features a feeding mechanism that utilizes gravity to ensure the protective plate adheres tightly to the pusher wedge without power, guaranteeing stable pushing operations and allowing the tube segments to automatically change direction. The conveying assembly employs a rotatable design, reducing the height required for workers to place the protective plate into the guide chute, making placement easier and simplifying the loading process. Simultaneously, the stop blocks automatically prevent the protective plate from slipping out of the guide chute, and when the storage frame is vertical, the stop blocks also automatically... Separating from the guard plate allows the guard plate in the corresponding guide trough to fall into the guide port or feeding trough, enabling it to feed material automatically. Each time the pusher wedge performs a pushing action, it can unidirectionally drive the conveying component to add a guard plate inside the feeding trough. This ensures that the number of guard plates inside the feeding trough remains constant, ensuring that the guard plates in the feeding trough can constantly press against each other under the action of gravity. This allows them to stick tightly to the pusher wedge even without power, preventing the guard plates in the feeding trough from becoming loose or separating. This, in turn, ensures that the pusher wedge can effectively push the guard plate. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The following is combined Figure 1 - Figure 10 The present invention describes an automated core-assembly machine for automotive radiators.

[0038] In one embodiment, an assembly table 100 is provided with a compaction mechanism 200 for compacting the protective plate of the radiator core, a limiting arrangement mechanism 300 for limiting the main plates of the radiator core, and an arrangement and feeding mechanism 400 for arranging the tubes of the radiator core. The compaction mechanism 200 and the limiting arrangement mechanism 300 are interleaved. The top of the arrangement and feeding mechanism 400 is provided with an anti-detachment mechanism 500 for assisting the compaction mechanism 200 in compacting the core.

[0039] The compaction mechanism 200 includes a base plate 230 fixedly connected to the top of the assembly table 100. The base plate 230 has two first electric cylinders 210 on its surface. The output end of the first electric cylinder 210 is fixedly connected to an extrusion strip 220. The two extrusion strips 220 are opposite each other, which can automatically compact the main plate, the protective plate, the heat sink pipe and the heat sink strip together so that they can form a heat sink core that meets the requirements.

[0040] The limited arrangement mechanism 300 includes two translation electric slide rails 310. A flip motor 320 is fixedly connected to the top of the translation electric slide rail 310. The output shaft of the flip motor 320 is fixedly connected to the mounting mold 330. Toothed positioning arrangement plates 340 are fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the two mounting molds 330.

[0041] The anti-detachment mechanism 500 includes a mounting bracket 510 fixedly connected to the surface of the guide rail 410. A second electric slide rail 520 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting bracket 510. A guide rail type lift 530 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second electric slide rail 520. A pressure plate 540 is fixedly connected to the output end of the guide rail type lift 530. The anti-detachment mechanism 500 can prevent the main plate, protective plate, heat dissipation pipe or heat dissipation strip from moving upward during the compaction process by pressing down, so as to improve the quality of the finished radiator core.

[0042] First, the operator places the main plate on top of both mounting molds 330 simultaneously. When the operator activates the material feeding mechanism 400, the first electric slide rail 420 moves the feeding rack 440, along with the guard plate and electric push rod 460, to the corresponding position. Then, the electric push rod 460 pushes the guard plate down into the gap between the two toothed positioning plates 340 via the pusher wedge 470. The electric push rod 460 then resets the pusher wedge 470. The first electric slide rail 420 then moves back a preset distance, and the electric push rod 460 again drives the pusher wedge 470 to perform the pushing and resetting operation. Next, the operator manually inserts the corresponding number of heat dissipation strips between two adjacent guard plates. After the heat dissipation strips are inserted, the operator manually controls the second electric slide rail 520 to move the guide rail lifting machine 530, along with the pressure plate 540, to the corresponding position. The operator then manually controls the guide rail lifting machine 530 to move the pressure plate 540. Simultaneously press down the top of the heat sink and the protective plate, then manually control the two first electric cylinders 210 to extend simultaneously. The two first electric cylinders 210 drive the two extrusion strips 220 to simultaneously extrude the protective plates on both sides, and squeeze and lock the protective plates and heat sink together. Manually control one of the translation electric slide rails 310 to drive the toothed positioning plate 340 to separate from the protective plate, leaving enough space for the installation mold 330 to flip. Then manually control the flipping motor 320 to drive the installation mold 330 to rotate 90 degrees until the main plate and the protective plate are opposite each other. Then manually control the translation electric slide rail 310 to drive the main plate and the protective plate to be inserted together through the installation mold 330. After the main plate is tightly inserted, the operator follows the above operation to tightly insert the other main plate and the other end of the protective plate together. At this time, the two main plates and the protective plate form the outer frame of the radiator core and tightly lock the radiator core inside.

[0043] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the feeding mechanism 400 includes a guide rail 410. Two first electric slide rails 420, each fixedly connected to the assembly table 100, are slidably connected to the bottom of the guide rail 410. The guide rail 410 and the first electric slide rails 420 are perpendicular to each other. Two electric trolleys 430 are slidably connected to the surface of the guide rail 410. Feeding racks 440 are fixedly connected to the surface of the electric trolleys 430. Feeding slots 450 for placing tube segments are provided at opposite ends of the two feeding racks 440. The trough 450 is used to stack the tubes of the radiator core. The vertical cross-section of the feeding trough 450 is L-shaped, and the cross-section of the inner bottom wall of the feeding trough 450 is arc-shaped. An electric push rod 460 is fixedly connected to the outlet end of the feeding rack 440. The bottom of the electric push rod 460 is provided with a push wedge 470 that is flush with the side opening of the feeding trough 450. The feeding arrangement mechanism 400 can use gravity to make the guard plate tightly stick to the push wedge 470 without power, so as to ensure that the push wedge 470 can push the material more stably.

[0044] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the feeding assembly 480 includes a mounting box 481 fixedly connected to the top of the feeding frame 440. The top of the mounting box 481 has a guide opening 482 communicating with the feeding trough 450. A storage frame 483 is hinged to the top of the mounting box 481. One end of the storage frame 483 has evenly distributed guide grooves 484, all communicating with the guide opening 482. A belt 485 is internally connected to the mounting box 481. Evenly distributed adjusting blocks 486 are fixedly connected to the surface of the belt 485. One end of some of the adjusting blocks 486 extends into the interior of the guide opening 482, facilitating feeding. Both the feed trough 450 and the guide trough 484 are intersected with the adjusting block 486. The width of the feed trough 450 and the guide trough 484 is the same as the spacing between two adjacent adjusting blocks 486. The inner side of the belt 485 is connected to a pulley 487 that is rotatably connected to the mounting box 481. One of the pulleys 487 is fixedly connected to the inner side of a one-way bearing 488. A round tube 489 is fixedly connected to the inner edge of the one-way bearing 488. A spiral groove 4810 is fixedly connected inside the round tube 489. An adjusting rod 4811 that is fixedly connected to the pusher wedge 470 is slidably connected inside the round tube 489. A guide block 4812 is fixedly connected to the surface of the adjusting rod 4811 and slidably connected to the spiral groove 4810. The locking direction of the one-way bearing 488, the direction in which the belt 485 drives the adjusting block 486 from the electric push rod 460 to the feeding trough 450, and the downward direction of the pusher wedge 470 driving the adjusting rod 4811 are all the same. The rotation angle of the circular tube 489 driven by the adjusting rod 4811, guide block 4812, and spiral groove 4810 is the same as the direction in which the pulley 487 drives the adjusting block 486 to move to the original position of the adjacent adjusting block 486 via the belt 485. The rotation angles of the positions are all the same. Whenever the pusher wedge 470 performs a pushing action, the pusher wedge 470 can drive the conveying component 480 to add a guard plate to the inside of the feeding trough 450 in one direction during the pushing process. This can keep the number of guard plates inside the feeding trough 450 constant, so that the guard plates in the feeding trough 450 can press against each other constantly under the action of gravity, so that they can stick tightly to the pusher wedge 470 without power, and there will be no situation where the guard plates in the feeding trough 450 are loose or separated, thereby ensuring that the pusher wedge 470 can effectively push the guard plate.

[0045] The inner side of the belt 485 and the surface of the pulley 487 are provided with evenly distributed reinforcing teeth 4816. The two adjacent reinforcing teeth 4816 are meshed together, which can increase the stability of the pulley 487 driving the belt 485 and avoid the failure of the belt 485 slipping.

[0046] During the process of the electric push rod 460 driving the pusher wedge 470 to push the guard plate down into the gap of the toothed positioning plate 340, the pusher wedge 470 synchronously drives the adjusting rod 4811 to move down, and the adjusting rod 4811 drives the guide block 4812 to move down. The guide block 4812 drives the round tube 489 to rotate through the spiral groove 4810. Since the locking direction of the one-way bearing 488, the direction of movement of the adjusting block 486 from the electric push rod 460 to the feeding groove 450 driven by the belt 485, and the direction of movement of the adjusting rod 4811 driven by the pusher wedge 470 are all the same, the one-way bearing 488 is in the locked state at this time. The round tube 489 drives the pulley 487 to rotate by a corresponding angle through the one-way bearing 488. The pulley 487 drives the belt 485 to move the adjusting block 486 to the same distance as the original distance of the other adjacent adjusting block 486. The belt 485 drives all the adjusting blocks 486 to move and move together. The adjustment block 486 moves to the same distance as the adjacent adjustment block 486. At this time, the adjustment block 486 in contact with the guard plate in the guide port 482 moves the guard plate to the same distance as the adjustment block 486 moves to the same distance as the adjacent adjustment block 486. At this time, the guard plate aligned with the feeding trough 450 falls into the feeding trough 450. This can keep the number of guard plates inside the feeding trough 450 constant, so that the guard plates in the feeding trough 450 can press against each other constantly under the action of gravity, so that they can stick tightly to the pusher wedge 470 without power, and there will be no loosening or separation of the guard plates in the feeding trough 450. This ensures that the pusher wedge 470 can effectively push the guard plate. At the same time, after there is a gap between two adjacent adjustment blocks 486 and the guide port 482 is entered, the guard plate in the guide trough 484 directly above it is unobstructed, until the guard plate at the bottom of the vertical column falls into the gap between the two adjustment blocks 486. During the process of the electric push rod 460 driving the pusher wedge 470 to move upward, the pusher wedge 470 synchronously drives the adjusting rod 4811 to move upward. The adjusting rod 4811 drives the guide block 4812 to move upward. The guide block 4812 drives the round tube 489 to reverse through the spiral groove 4810. Since the locking direction of the one-way bearing 488, the direction of the belt 485 driving the adjusting block 486 from the electric push rod 460 to the feeding trough 450, and the direction of the pusher wedge 470 driving the adjusting rod 4811 to move downward are all the same, the one-way bearing 488 is in the unlocked state at this time, and the pulley 487 cannot reverse, so as to ensure that the guard plate can be conveyed in one direction.

[0047] like Figure 7As shown, the material conveying assembly 480 also includes an electric cylinder 4813 and a guide module 4814. The output shaft of the electric cylinder 4813 is slidably connected to one end of the storage frame 483, and the electric cylinder 4813 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting box 481. The storage frame 483 has evenly distributed sliding cavities 4815 that are respectively connected to adjacent guide grooves 484. The guide module 4814 includes a stop block 48141 slidably connected to the inside of the sliding cavity 4815. A spring piece 48142 is fixedly connected between the stop block 48141 and the sliding cavity 4815. An adjusting frame 48143 is slidably connected to the surface of the spring piece 48142. The bottom of 48143 passes through the sliding cavity 4815 and contacts the mounting box 481. The feeding assembly 480 adopts a rotatable design, which can reduce the height of the guard plate when the operator puts it into the guide groove 484, making it easier to place the plate and reducing the difficulty of loading the material. At the same time, the stop block 48141 can also stop the guard plate itself to prevent it from sliding out of the guide groove 484. When the storage frame 483 is vertical, the stop block 48141 can also separate from the guard plate itself, so that the guard plate in the corresponding guide groove 484 can fall into the guide port 482 or the feeding groove 450, allowing it to be loaded automatically.

[0048] The inner corners of the adjusting frame 48143 are rounded, and the surface of the spring piece 48142 contacts the rounded corners of the adjusting frame 48143. This reduces the probability of the spring piece 48142 being excessively bent, ensuring that the spring piece 48142 can be used normally. The bottom cross-section of the adjusting frame 48143 is arc-shaped, and the bottom corners of the adjusting frame 48143 are rounded. This reduces the probability of the adjusting frame 48143 getting stuck with the mounting box 481, ensuring that the storage frame 483 can rotate normally. The storage frame 483... The bottom has evenly distributed guide cavities 4817 that are connected to adjacent sliding cavities 4815. The guide cavities 4817 are slidably connected to the adjusting frame 48143, which can limit the movement trajectory of the adjusting frame 48143 to ensure that the adjusting frame 48143 can move normally. The vertical cross-sectional shape of the contact part between the guide cavity 4817 and the adjusting frame 48143 is a matching rectangle, which can prevent the adjusting frame 48143 from rotating or deviating by a large probability, further ensuring that the adjusting frame 48143 can move normally.

[0049] When the worker needs to load materials, the worker simply manually controls the electric cylinder 4813 to shorten it. The electric cylinder 4813 drives the storage frame 483 to rotate until the storage frame 483 is rotated to the corresponding tilt angle. During this process, the adjusting frame 48143 loses its obstruction, and the spring piece 48142 returns to its original shape. At the same time, the spring piece 48142 drives the stop block 48141 and the adjusting frame 48143 to pass through the guide groove 484 and the guide cavity 4817, respectively. At this time, the worker can place the corresponding number of guard plates into the two guide grooves 484 at both ends, and make the deepest guard plate fit against the stop block 48141. After the corresponding number of guard plates are placed, the worker manually controls the electric cylinder 4813 to extend it. The electric cylinder 4813 drives the storage frame 483 with guard plates to rotate. When the electric cylinder 4813 returns to its original length, the bottom of the storage frame 483 is tightly fitted with the mounting box 481 and is in a vertical position. In this process, the mounting box 481 presses the adjusting frame 48143 into the sliding cavity 4815. The adjusting frame 48143 causes the spring piece 48142 to bend, and the spring piece 48142 causes the stop block 48141 to slide into the sliding cavity 4815. When the storage frame 483 is in a vertical position, the stop block 48141 slides completely into the sliding cavity 4815. At this time, all the guard plates lose their positioning, and the guard plates move downward under the action of gravity, with the lowest guard plate falling onto the two... In the guide port 482 between the adjustment blocks 486, the entire vertical plate of the vertical column, which is set directly above the feeding trough 450, falls into the feeding trough 450 under the action of gravity until the bottom guard plate is blocked by the pusher wedge 470. The guard plates in the feeding trough 450 are pressed together by gravity, which can make the guard plates stick tightly to the pusher wedge 470 without power, so as to ensure that the pusher wedge 470 can push the material more stably. It should be noted that the first electric cylinder 210, the translation electric slide rail 310, the tilting motor 320, the guide rail 410, the first electric slide rail 420, the electric trolley 430, the electric push rod 460, the one-way bearing 488, the electric cylinder 4813, the second electric slide rail 520, and the guide rail type lifting platform 530 mentioned above are all devices with relatively mature existing technology. The specific models can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the first electric cylinder 210, the translation electric slide rail 310, the tilting motor 320, the first electric slide rail 420, the electric trolley 430, the electric push rod 460, the electric cylinder 4813, the second electric slide rail 520, and the guide rail type lifting platform 530 can be powered by built-in power supply or by mains power. The specific power supply method is selected according to the situation and will not be elaborated here.
