Example 1

[0023] Ginseng Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a specific implementation of a wireless synchronous two-post lift.

[0024] Wireless synchronous two-post lift, reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a first lifting column 1 and a second lifting column 4 installed on the ground; a first wireless module 2 is installed on the side wall 11 near the top of the first lifting column 1, and the first wireless module 2 is preferably 0.0m-0.8m away from the top, especially preferably 0.5m-0.8m, see Figure 2 L, the side wall 11 near the bottom of the first lifting column 1 is provided with a second wireless module 3, the second wireless module 3 is preferably 0.3m-1.2m from the ground, particularly preferably 0.8m-1.2m, see Figure 2 near the side wall 41 of the second lifting column 4 at the top of the third wireless module 5 is installed, the third wireless module 5 is preferably 0.0m-0.8m from the top, particularly preferably 0.5m-0.8m, see Figure 2 H, the side wall 41 near the bottom of the second lifting column 4 is installed with a fourth wireless module 6, the fourth wireless module 6 is preferably 0.3m-1.2m from the ground, especially preferably 0.8m-1.2m, see Figure 2 N; the second wireless module 3 and the fourth wireless module 6 are at the same height and paired; the first wireless module 2 and the third wireless module 5 are at the same height and paired; during the process of the first lifting column 1 and the second lifting column 4 lifting the vehicle, the received signal strength between the first wireless module 2 and the third wireless module 5 is monitored as a, and the received signal strength between the second wireless module 3 and the fourth wireless module 6 is monitored as b; if a≥b, the first wireless module 2 and the third wireless module 5 are used to synchronize the height signals of the first lifting column 1 and the second lifting column 4 lifting the vehicle; if a<b, the second wireless module 3 and the fourth wireless module 6 are used to synchronize the height signals of the first lifting column 1 and the second lifting column 4 lifting the vehicle.

[0025] At present, in order to reduce the delay or interruption of wireless signals caused by obstruction, 433 wireless modules are often used, and a higher wireless power is used to ensure the reliability of wireless signal transmission. However, the high-power 433 wireless signal can easily cause other wireless signals to not work properly, such as the vehicle's remote key cannot be unlocked normally, which will cause unnecessary trouble in the field of two-post lifts. For this reason, see Figure 1 , the first wireless module 2, the second wireless module 3, the third wireless module 5 and the fourth wireless module 6 are all 2.4G wireless modules, such as a 2.4G WIFI module or a 2.4G ZIGBEE module. The signal diffraction capability of the 2.4G WIFI module and the 2.4G ZIGBEE module is weak and easily blocked; the connection line of the first wireless module 2, the second wireless module 3, the third wireless module 5 and the fourth wireless module 6 forms a rectangle, and the first wireless module 2, the second wireless module 3, the third wireless module 5 and the fourth wireless module 6 are all perpendicular to the ground Installation, the first wireless module 2 and the third wireless module 5 form a height signal synchronization path for the first lifting column 1 and the second lifting column 4 to lift the vehicle, and the second wireless module 3 and the fourth wireless module 6 form a height signal synchronization backup path for the first lifting column 1 and the second lifting column 4 to lift the vehicle; when the vehicle enters between the first lifting column 1 and the second lifting column 4, the height position of the second wireless module 3 and the fourth wireless module 6 is close to the roof, while the height of the first wireless module 2 and the third wireless module 5 is much higher than the roof and there is no obstruction between the two. In this state, a≥b, then the first wireless module 2 and the third wireless module 5 are used to synchronize the height signal of the first lifting column 1 and the second lifting column 4 to lift the vehicle; in the process of the vehicle gradually rising from the lowest point, the signal between the second wireless module 3 and the fourth wireless module 6 is gradually blocked by the vehicle body and the signal strength is weakened. When the vehicle rises to the highest point or close to the highest point, the first wireless module 2 and the third wireless module 5 are blocked by the vehicle body and the received signal becomes weak, and there is no obstruction between the second wireless module 3 and the fourth wireless module 6 and the received signal becomes strong. At this time, a<b, then the second wireless module is used 3 and the fourth wireless module 6 synchronize the vehicle's lifting height signals between the first and second lifting posts 1 and 4. In this embodiment, when using a 2.4G wireless module, such as a 2.4G Wi-Fi module or a 2.4G Zigbee module, two antenna modules are designed to synchronize the vehicle's lifting height signals between the first and second lifting posts 1 and 4 in real time at any vehicle height during the lifting process. This avoids delays or interruptions in the 2.4G wireless signal due to vehicle body obstruction, resulting in more precise synchronization between the first and second lifting posts. To further ensure the reliability of 2.4G wireless signal communication, the received signal strength monitoring period is 20ms-50ms, i.e., the received signal strength a and received signal strength b are monitored and compared every 20ms-50ms.
