Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical manufacturing and lifting mechanisms, and in particular to a transverse lifting mechanism and a method for using the mechanism. Background Art

[0002] At present, the transverse lifting mechanism is mainly used for the spatial movement of upper equipment, and is mostly used for the equipment's exit from the cabin. For example, the exit and retraction of drones. When the equipment exits the cabin or other applications, it is often required to have a mechanism that can meet the travel requirements within a limited space, that is, the occupied volume ratio of deployment and retraction is large. Mechanisms with a large telescopic ratio have great engineering value. Even if the space requirements are relatively generous, the large telescopic ratio mechanism is more convenient for space layout and more flexible due to its small retracted size.

[0003] In the existing technology, most mechanisms can only achieve deployment in one direction. There are few solutions for platform movements that require both pushing out and raising. In particular, when it comes to unmanned aerial vehicle equipment leaving the cabin, it is often necessary to push the drone out of the cabin and raise it to a non-interference height for takeoff and landing.

[0004] To sum up, there are the following technical problems

[0005] How to achieve both pushing out and raising the existing drone out of the cabin, so as to ensure that the drone can be pushed out of the cabin and raised to an interference-free height for takeoff and landing. Summary of the invention

[0006] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a transverse lifting mechanism and a method of using the same, so as to solve the technical problem in the prior art of how to push out and lift the UAV out of the cabin, ensure that the UAV is pushed out of the cabin and raised to an interference-free height for takeoff and landing.

The upper end of the inner shear is hinged to the load platform, and the lower end is slidably connected to the lateral top frame. The upper end of the outer shear is slidably connected to the load platform, and the lower end is hinged to the lateral top frame. By connecting the inner shear to the push rod, this structure has the effect of achieving a stable horizontal lifting of the load platform. The stability of the drone lifting is guaranteed.

[0035] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a transverse lifting mechanism, including: a base 2; an intermediate frame 3, the intermediate frame 3 is slidably connected to the base 2; a multi-stage push rod 1, one end of the multi-stage push rod 1 is fixed on the base 2; a transverse top frame 4, the transverse top frame 4 is connected to the other end of the multi-stage push rod 1, and the transverse top frame 4 is slidably connected to the intermediate frame 3; a push rod 5, one end of the push rod 5 is fixed on the transverse top frame 4; an inner shear 6, one end of the inner shear 6 is slidably connected to the transverse top frame 4, and the inner shear 6 is connected to the other end of the push rod 5; an outer shear 7, one end of the outer shear 7 is hinged to the transverse top frame 4, and the outer shear 7 is rotatably connected to the inner shear 6; a load platform 8, the load platform 8 is hinged to the other end of the inner shear 6, and the load platform 8 is slidably connected to the other end of the outer shear 7.

[0037] The present invention mainly includes a multi-stage push rod 1, a base 2, an intermediate frame 3, a lateral top frame 4, a push rod 5, an inner shear 6, an outer shear 7, and a load platform 8. The multi-stage push rod 1, the base 2, the intermediate frame 3, and the lateral top frame 4 realize the lateral movement and side pushing function, and the push rod 5, the inner shear 6, the outer shear 7, and the load platform 8 realize the lifting function.

[0038] In this embodiment, the base 2 plays a supporting role and is used for fixing; the intermediate frame 3 is used to fix the lateral top frame 4 on the base 2, and the intermediate frame 3 is slidably connected to the base 2; the intermediate frame 3 is a structure for extending the lateral travel, that is, it is used to extend the lateral travel on the other hand. Slide blocks are installed above and below the intermediate frame 3, wherein the upper slide block is used to achieve a sliding connection with the lateral top frame 4, and the lower slide block is used to achieve a sliding connection with the base 2. When in use, the intermediate frame 3 is pulled out to extend the lateral travel, and when not in use, the intermediate frame 3 is retracted to reduce the occupied space. The linear slide rails on the base 2 and the lateral top frame 4 cooperate with the slide blocks, so the lateral travel is extended through the intermediate frame 3, and it also ensures that the occupied space is reduced.

[0039] In this embodiment, the multi-stage push rod 1 is used to push the transverse moving top frame 4 to move horizontally. One end of the multi-stage push rod 1 is fixed on the base 2, which is the fixed end, and the other end is connected to the transverse moving top frame 4, which is the movable end; the two ends of the multi-stage push rod 1 are connected to the base 2 and the transverse moving top frame 4. The multi-stage push rod 1 is the driving part of the transverse moving action. On the basis of the extension of the intermediate frame 3, the multi-stage push rod 1 cooperates with the transverse moving top frame 4 to achieve secondary extension.

[0040] In this embodiment, the transverse moving top frame 4 is used to cooperate with the multi-stage push rod 1 to achieve secondary transverse movement. The transverse moving top frame 4 is connected to the other end of the multi-stage push rod 1, and the transverse moving top frame 4 is driven to extend and retract laterally by the multi-stage push rod 1. The transverse moving top frame 4 is slidably connected to the intermediate frame 3 and is connected through a linear guide rail, which plays a guiding role.

[0041] In this embodiment, the push rod 5 is used to realize the deformation of the scissor mechanism, and one end of the push rod 5 is fixed on the transverse top frame 4; the push rod 5 is arranged in pairs, and the push rod 5 is driven by an electric cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. The push rod 5 is the prime mover of the scissor mechanism, and the multi-stage push rod 1 is the prime mover for the transverse side push. In this embodiment, the inner shear 6, one end of the inner shear 6 is slidably connected to the transverse top frame 4, the inner shear 6 is connected to the other end of the push rod 5, and the push rod 5 is connected to the inner shear 6 through a connecting beam, wherein the inner shear 6 is symmetrically arranged in pairs; and in this embodiment, the outer shear 7 is symmetrically arranged in pairs, one end of the outer shear 7 is hinged to the transverse top frame 4, and the outer shear 7 is rotatably connected to the inner shear 6; the push rod 5, the inner shear 6 and the outer shear 7 constitute a scissor mechanism, which is installed on the transverse top frame 4 using a transfer part on the installation interface and moves accordingly. The paired inner shears 6 and the paired outer shears 7 are hinged via a rotating shaft, and the inner shears 6 and the outer shears 7 are set to be equal in length. The upper end of the inner shears 6 is hinged to the load platform 8, and the lower end is slidably connected to the lateral top frame 4. The upper end of the outer shears 7 is slidably connected to the load platform 8, and the lower end is hinged to the lateral top frame 4. By connecting the inner shears 6 to the push rod 5, this structure has the effect of achieving a horizontal and stable elevation of the load platform 8, thereby ensuring the stability of the drone elevation.

[0042] In this embodiment, the push rod 5 is the prime mover of the scissor mechanism, and its two ends are respectively connected to the lateral top frame 4 and the inner scissor 6, and the vertical lifting is realized by changing the angle between the inner and outer scissors 7. The inner scissors 6 and the outer scissors 7 are the main force-bearing components of the lifting mechanism. The sliding ends of the inner and outer scissors 6 and 7 use linear slide rails to slide, and the fixed ends are installed in a hinged manner to achieve rotation, thereby ensuring that the load platform 8 always remains horizontal and the horizontal stability of the drone during lateral movement and elevation. This patent ensures the horizontality of the load platform 8 at all times, whether in lateral movement or elevation, by setting the lateral thrust structure and the lifting structure.

[0043] In this embodiment, the load platform 8 is used to carry and fix the drone. The load platform 8 is hinged to the other end of the inner scissors 6, and the load platform 8 is slidably connected to the other end of the outer scissors 7. The level of the load platform 8 is ensured by the setting of the scissors structure, thereby ensuring the stability of the drone leaving the cabin and rising. Above the load platform 8 is an equipment interface for installing drone equipment.

[0044] In this embodiment, a multi-stage push rod 1, a base 2, an intermediate frame 3 and a lateral top frame 4 constitute a lateral push structure, each stage is connected by a plurality of linear guide rails to ensure the accuracy of movement and the rigidity of the structure, and a push rod 5, an inner shear 6, an outer shear 7 and a load platform 8 constitute a lifting structure. The push rod 5, the inner shear 6, the outer shear 7 and the load platform 8 constitute a scissor mechanism, and the scissor mechanism is installed on the lateral top frame 4 through a transfer part. The push rod 5 changes the angle between the inner shear 6 and the outer shear 7 to achieve vertical lifting. The present invention solves the problem of placing an exit platform mechanism in a small space, and realizes a mechanism that is first transversely moved and then lifted in a limited space. The present invention has an unfolded length of 3760mm and a raised height of 1708mm. In the retracted state, the length is 1910mm and the height is 363mm, realizing the combination of the functions of both lateral movement and lifting and lowering. It is mostly used for the equipment's exit from the cabin, such as the exit and retraction of drones. The lateral movement and lifting mechanism, as an actuator, can simultaneously realize two movement directions, namely, side thrust and lifting, and can solve the movement path problem of the equipment under specific circumstances. The movement route of the mechanism load platform 8 can be horizontal first and then vertical, or it can move in two directions at the same time. In addition, the mechanism also has a large telescopic ratio, that is, it occupies little space in the retracted state, and is convenient for layout.

[0045] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for using a transverse moving and lifting mechanism, including: performing transverse moving through a transverse side-pushing mechanism composed of a base 2, an intermediate frame 3, a transverse top frame 4 and a push rod 5, and performing lifting and lowering through a lifting mechanism composed of an inner shear 6, an outer shear 7 and a load platform 8, forming an integrated transverse moving and lifting actuator, performing independent or synchronous transverse moving and lifting movements with a large telescopic ratio, and performing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) exiting and lifting.

[0046] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
