Such design can adapt to the arc of the arc-shaped boss 105 on the second inclined table 109.

[0027] As shown in Figure 4 , the center position of the chain link body 108 is provided with a tooth groove 104, the shape of the tooth groove 104 is rectangular, and the tooth groove 104 has sufficient length in the height direction so that the inserted tooth 303 inserted into the tooth groove 104 has a relative activity margin, and the two inner side surfaces of the tooth groove 104 in the horizontal direction are provided with chamfer portions 1010 for guiding the inserted tooth 303 of the driving system 300 to be smoothly inserted into the tooth groove 104.

[0028] As shown in Figure 5 , the lower surface of the second inclined table 109 is configured as a second inclined surface, and when the chain link 102 moves in the direction of the cylindrical helix, the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface of the two adjacent chain links 102 above and below can relatively contact and slide in the direction of the cylindrical helix to ensure the stability during jacking. The lower surface of the second inclined surface is provided with an arc-shaped boss 105, the length direction of the arc-shaped boss 105 is configured as the direction of the cylindrical helix, and the cross-sectional shape of the arc-shaped boss 105 matches the inner peripheral shape of the arc-shaped groove 103, when the chain link 102 moves in the direction of the cylindrical helix, the arc-shaped groove 103 and the arc-shaped boss 105 between the two adjacent chain links 102 above and below contact and relatively slide in the direction of the cylindrical helix, that is, the two adjacent chain links 102 above and below are engaged through the arc-shaped groove 103 and the arc-shaped boss 105, when engaged, the arc-shaped boss 105 is relatively inserted into the arc-shaped groove 103, and the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped boss 105 contacts the inner peripheral surface of the arc-shaped groove 103.

[0029] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in this embodiment, the second inclined surface of the second inclined table 109 is provided with an arc-shaped boss 105, and the helical surface 106 of the jacking cover 101 is also provided with an arc-shaped boss 105, the shapes and sizes of the two arc-shaped bosses 105 are consistent, and only the lengths are different, both of which can be engaged with the arc-shaped groove 103 on the chain link 102.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the chain is in the retracted state, the chain is divided into a first segment and a storage segment in the height direction. The storage segment is stored in the storage tray 202 of the storage component 200, while the first segment is located in the first spiral segment 201 of the storage component 200. The lifting cover 101 of the chain component 100 is coaxially disposed directly above the first spiral segment 201. The free end of the first segment is fixedly connected to the lifting cover 101, and the arc-shaped grooves 103 of some links 102 in the first segment are engaged with the arc-shaped protrusions 105 on the lifting cover 101.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, when in the lifting or retracting state, a single link 102 moves in a cylindrical spiral around the height direction, and during the movement or after being lifted into place, two adjacent links 102 in the height direction are misaligned, so that the gaps 102a between two adjacent links in the height direction will not be aligned in the height direction and form a straight gap. Compared with the traditional technology, the gaps in this embodiment are alternately misaligned along the height direction, which can significantly improve the lateral anti-interference ability of multiple links 102 when in the lifting or retracting state.

[0032] In this embodiment, the length of a single link 102 is designed to satisfy the following formula, so that two adjacent links 102 are misaligned in the height direction.

[0033] ; like Figure 7 As shown in Formula 1 above, This indicates the length of a single link 102; The length of the side of the inscribed regular polygon of the cylindrical helix is ​​represented by the length of the cylindrical helix. In this embodiment, the trajectory of the cylindrical helix is ​​the cylindrical helix itself. The cylinder φ of the cylindrical helix has an inscribed regular polygon, which can be a regular triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, etc. The length of a single side of the inscribed regular polygon is represented by the length of the inscribed regular polygon described above. .

[0034] As can be seen from Formula 1, this embodiment designs the length of a single link 102 to be different from the side length of an inscribed regular polygon. Therefore, multiple adjacent links 102 cannot form a complete regular polygon. Consequently, the gaps in the upper link 102 and the gaps in the lower link 102 are misaligned in the height direction, ensuring that the chain will not tip over or disintegrate after being lifted.

[0037] As shown, Figure 9 The number of the receiving discs 202 can be one or more, and when the number of the receiving discs 202 is more than one, the shapes of the plurality of receiving discs 202 are consistent and are arranged in the height direction at intervals, and the plurality of receiving discs 202 are coaxially corresponding, and the vortex grooves 204 of the two adjacent receiving discs 202 in the height direction are communicated through the second spiral section 206 or the third spiral section 207.

It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the receiving assembly 200 preferably includes a central cylindrical shell 205 and a plurality of receiving discs 202, so the power shaft 301 coaxially passes through the central cylindrical shell 205 and the plurality of receiving discs 202, a bearing can be arranged between the power shaft 301 and the central cylindrical shell 205 to ensure excellent rotation performance of the power shaft 301, and the top of the power shaft 301 is at the same height position as the first spiral section 201.

[0044] As shown in Figure 11As shown, the shape of the rotating disc set 302 is circular, the rotating disc set 302 is coaxially fixed on the top of the power rotating shaft 301, and can rotate with the power rotating shaft 301. The spline 303 is slidingly arranged on the rotating disc set 302, and the sliding direction is configured as the radial direction of the rotating disc set 302. The spline 303 is used to be inserted into the tooth groove 104 of the chain link 102 in the radial direction. Then, the rotating disc set 302 and the spline 303 rotate under the driving of the power rotating shaft 301, so that the spline 303 can move the chain link 102. Due to the guiding action of the first helical groove 203 and the meshing action of the upper and lower adjacent chain links 102, the chain link 102 moves along the direction of the cylindrical helix, thereby realizing the jacking or retracting of the jacking cover 101. In this embodiment, preferably, the number of splines 303 is multiple, and the multiple splines 303 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotating disc set 302.

[0045] As shown in the figure, Figure 11 In this embodiment, the rotating disc set 302 includes two rotating discs 302a fixedly connected coaxially, and the shape of the rotating disc 302a is circular. The upper and lower rotating discs 302a are arranged at intervals, and the lower rotating disc 302a is coaxially fixedly connected to the top of the power rotating shaft 301. Each rotating disc 302a is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves 305 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotating disc 302a. The length direction of the sliding groove 305 is configured as the radial direction of the rotating disc 302a, one end of the sliding groove 305 is communicated to the outer circumferential surface of the rotating disc 302a, and the spline 303 is slidingly arranged in the sliding groove 305 one by one to realize the sliding extension or retraction of the spline 303 from the rotating disc 302a.

[0046] As shown in the figure, Figure 11 In this embodiment, the upper and lower double-layer rotating discs 302a are arranged, and each rotating disc 302a is provided with a plurality of splines 303. By controlling the extension and retraction of the spline 303, it is ensured that at least one spline 303 is arranged in the chain corresponding to the upper and lower double-layer rotating discs 302a. Then, the chain is driven in the forward and backward pushing and pulling mode to form a continuous driving force of the chain, while keeping the stress of the chain stable.

[0047] As shown in the figure, Figure 11 The driving unit and the spline 303 are located at the same horizontal height position, the driving unit is located on the side away from the chain link 102 of the spline 303, and the driving unit and the spline 303 are arranged in the radial direction of the rotating disc set 302. The driving unit drives the spline 303 to extend to the outside of the rotating disc set 302 and insert into the tooth groove 104 of the chain link 102. Among them, the driving unit and the spline 303 can adopt one-to-one mode or one-to-many mode, that is, the driving unit can correspondingly drive the spline 303 to extend, or one driving unit can synchronously drive multiple splines 303 to extend outward.

[0048] As shown in the figure, Figure 11As shown, in this preferred embodiment, the drive unit is configured as an existing micro linear telescopic mechanism 304a, such as an electric push rod. The drive unit is located in the turntable assembly 302 and drives the toothed gear 303 to extend and retract radially in a linear telescopic motion.

[0049] This embodiment also discloses a lifting method, which uses the actuator of this embodiment. The lifting method includes selecting to lift or retract as needed. During lifting, the drive unit drives the insert tooth 303 to be radially inserted into the tooth groove 104 of a chain link 102 that is aligned with it. The power shaft 301 rotates and drives the turntable 302a to rotate clockwise. The turntable 302a drives the insert tooth 303 and the chain link 102 that meshes with the insert tooth 303 to move. Since the chain link 102 is guided by the first spiral groove 203 and the two adjacent chain links 102 are engaged by the arc-shaped groove 103 and the arc-shaped boss 105, the chain link 102 is driven by the insert tooth 303 to move upward along the direction of the cylindrical spiral. The chain link 102 located in the vortex groove 204 is driven synchronously, sliding sequentially towards the first spiral groove 203 along the vortex line and engaging with the insert tooth 303 in sequence. Before the insert tooth 303 interferes with the bottom of the currently engaged tooth groove 104, the insert tooth 303 exits the current tooth groove 104, and the drive unit drives another insert tooth 303 to insert into another tooth groove 104 to ensure a continuous driving force on the chain. Therefore, the lifting cover 101 located at the top of the chain is lifted upward to a predetermined height following the cylindrical spiral line movement of the chain.

[0050] When retracted, the drive unit drives the insert tooth 303 to be inserted radially into the tooth groove 104 of a chain link 102 that is aligned with it. The power shaft 301 drives the turntable assembly 302 and the insert tooth 303 to rotate counterclockwise. The insert tooth 303 drives the chain to move downward in a spiral around the height direction. During the downward movement of the chain located above the first spiral groove 203, it slides through the first spiral groove 203 and is guided into the vortex groove 204 of the storage tray 202. The lifting cover 101 located at the top of the chain retracts downward with the movement of the chain. After the lifting cover 101 descends to the threshold height, the power shaft 301 stops rotating.

The lower end of the fixed shaft 306 is fixed to an external structure or other structure, so that the fixed shaft 306 is fixed during the retracting and jacking processes, i.e., the fixed shaft 306 does not rotate with the power rotating shaft 301 and the rotating disc 302a.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 2, the driving unit 304 of the second embodiment includes a fixed shaft 306 coaxially arranged inside the power rotating shaft 301, and two cams 307. The lower end of the fixed shaft 306 is fixed to an external structure or other structure, so that the fixed shaft 306 is fixed during the retracting and jacking processes, i.e., the fixed shaft 306 does not rotate with the power rotating shaft 301 and the rotating disc 302a. Figure 13As shown, in the preferred embodiment, the pin tooth 303 comprises a pin tooth body 309, a roller 3010 and a spring connecting portion 3011, the pin tooth body 309 is slidingly arranged in the sliding groove 305 of the rotating disc 302a, the front end of the pin tooth body 309 is provided with a circular arc portion, which facilitates the pin tooth body 309 to be smoothly inserted into the tooth groove 104 of the chain link 102, the roller 3010 is fixedly or rollingly arranged on the upper surface of the pin tooth body 309, and the axial direction of the roller 3010 is configured as the height direction, the pin tooth 303 is in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the cam 307 through the outer circumferential surface of the roller 3010, and the spring connecting portion 3011 is used to connect one end of the elastic reset member 308.

[0058] In the preferred embodiment, the angle of the cam 307 satisfies the following formula two, so that at least one circumferentially adjacent pin tooth 303 can be inserted into the tooth groove 104 of the chain link 102 during the rotation of the rotating disc 302a. ; As shown, Figure 14 , represents the push angle of the cam 307; represents the far rest angle of the cam 307; represents the return angle of the cam 307; represents the working angle of the cam 307, represents the central angle corresponding to a single chain link 102, that is, the central angle corresponding to the axis of the cylindrical helical line as the center.

[0059] In the preferred embodiment, the angle of the cam 307 is designed so that at least one pin tooth 303 of the circumferentially arranged plurality of pin teeth 303 can be pushed by the cam 307 to be inserted into the chain link 102 during the rotation of the rotating disc 302a, so as to drive the chain link 102 to move in the direction of the cylindrical helical line.

[0060] In the preferred embodiment, the push angle, the far rest angle, the return angle and the near rest angle of the upper and lower cams 307 are equal, respectively, and the push angle of the cam 307 is equal to the return angle.

[0061] In the preferred embodiment, the upper and lower cams 307 are arranged in a staggered manner and satisfy the following formula three, so that at least one adjacent pin tooth 303 of the upper pin tooth 303 and the lower pin tooth 303 is inserted into the tooth groove 104 of the adjacent chain link 102. ; As shown, Figure 14 ​​As shown, the embodiment is designed by the angle of the two cams 307, so that the upper and lower pinion gears 303 are always kept one to one engaged with the links 102 to form the upper and lower continuous driving force, the whole structure is simple, easy to manufacture.

[0062] In the embodiment, the thickness of the pinion gear 303 and the length of the tooth groove 104 of the link 102 satisfy the following formula four, so that the tooth groove 104 of the link 102 does not interfere with the pinion gear 303 during the movement along the cylindrical helix; ; Among them, the pitch of the first helical groove 203 (as Figure 9 shown), the pitch of the first helical groove 203 is equal to the total length of the link 102 (as Figure 15 shown) is equal to the pitch of the helical surface 106 below the jacking cover 101 (as Figure 3 shown).

[0063] As Figure 15 shown, in the embodiment, since the link 102 is driven by the pinion gear 303 inserted in the tooth groove 104 to move along the cylindrical helix, the relative position of the tooth groove 104 and the pinion gear 303 in the height direction will gradually change, the inner bottom surface of the tooth groove 104 will gradually approach the lower surface of the pinion gear 303 and interfere, therefore, the thickness of the pinion gear 303 and the length of the tooth groove 104 of the link 102 need to be designed accordingly to meet the requirement that the tooth groove 104 has a margin for movement in the height direction relative to the pinion gear 303.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 13 again, in the embodiment, six pinion gears 303 are arranged on each rotating disc 302a, the six pinion gears 303 are arranged around 360 degrees, the circumferential included angle of two pinion gears 303 in the six pinion gears 303 is equal to the included angle of the cam 307, as Figure 13 shown, the maximum circumferential included angle of the adjacent two pinion gears is represented, and the remaining pinion gears 303 are arranged at equal intervals, in order to ensure that the chain can be engaged with the three pairs of pinion gears 303, preferably .

[0065] The second embodiment discloses a jacking method, using the actuating device of the second embodiment, the jacking method comprises selecting jacking or retracting as needed: During lifting, the drive unit 304 drives the insert teeth 303 to intermittently insert into the tooth grooves 104 of the chain. Specifically, the turntable 302a drives multiple insert teeth 303 to rotate cyclically from position one to position eight. Figure 16 As shown, positions one through eight are as follows: Position 1: The first tooth 303 of the lower layer is pushed out by the lower cam 307, the first tooth 303 of the upper layer is pushed out by the lower cam 307, and the remaining teeth 303 are in the retracted state; Position 2: The first and second insert teeth 303 of the lower layer are pushed out by the lower cam 307, and the first and second insert teeth 303 of the upper layer are pushed out by the upper cam 307, while the remaining insert teeth 303 are in the retracted state. Position 3: The first, second, and third insert teeth 303 of the lower layer are all pushed out by the lower cam 307, and the first, second, and third insert teeth 303 of the upper layer are all pushed out by the upper cam 307, while the remaining insert teeth 303 are in the retracted state. Position 4: The second, third, and fourth insert teeth 303 of the lower layer are all pushed out by the upper cam 307, while the other insert teeth 303 are in the retracted state. Position 5: The third, fourth, and fifth insert teeth 303 of the lower layer are all pushed out by the upper cam 307, while the remaining insert teeth 303 are in the retracted state. Position 6: The fourth, fifth, and sixth insert teeth 303 of the lower layer are all pushed out by the upper cam 307, while the remaining insert teeth 303 are in the retracted state. Position 7: The fifth and sixth insert teeth 303 of the lower layer are pushed out by the upper cam 307, while the remaining insert teeth 303 are in the retracted state. Position 8: The sixth tooth 303 of the lower layer is pushed out by the upper cam 307, and the sixth tooth 303 of the upper layer is pushed out by the upper cam 307, while the remaining teeth 303 are in the retracted state. like Figure 17As shown, during the rotation at positions one to eight, the power shaft 301 drives the turntable assembly 302 and the toothed gear 303 to rotate clockwise. The toothed gear 303 drives the chain to move spirally upwards around the height direction. The turntable 302a drives the toothed gear 303 and the chain link 102 meshing with the toothed gear 303 to move. Since the chain link 102 is guided by the first spiral groove 203 and the two adjacent chain links 102 are engaged by the arc-shaped groove 103 and the arc-shaped boss 105, the chain link 102 is driven by the toothed gear 303 along the cylindrical spiral line. The chain moves upward, and the chain links 102 located in the spiral groove 204 are driven synchronously, sliding sequentially towards the first spiral groove 203 along the spiral line and engaging with the insert teeth 303 in sequence. Before the insert teeth 303 interfere with the bottom of the currently engaged groove 104, the insert teeth 303 retract and exit the current groove 104, and the other insert teeth 303 are inserted into other grooves 104 to ensure a continuous driving force on the chain. Therefore, the lifting cover 101 located at the top of the chain is lifted upward to a predetermined height following the cylindrical spiral line movement of the chain.

[0066] When retracted, the drive unit 304 drives the insert teeth 303 to be intermittently inserted into the tooth grooves 104 of the chain. Specifically, the turntable 302a drives multiple insert teeth 303 to rotate cyclically at positions one to eight, as described above.

[0067] During the rotation at positions one to eight, the power shaft 301 drives the turntable assembly 302 and the toothed gear 303 to rotate counterclockwise. The toothed gear 303 drives the chain to move downward in a spiral motion around the height direction. As the chain above the first spiral groove 203 moves downward, it passes through the first spiral groove 203 and is guided into the vortex groove 204 of the storage tray 202. The lifting cover 101 at the top of the chain moves downward with the chain. After the lifting cover 101 reaches the threshold height, the power shaft 301 stops rotating.

[0068] Example 3: like Figure 18 As shown, the difference between this embodiment three and embodiment two is that the actuation device in this embodiment three further includes a power unit 400, which is connected to the power shaft 301 and is used to drive the power shaft 301 to rotate.

[0069] like Figure 19As shown, the power unit 400 comprises a bottom shell 401 connected to the bottom of the housing of the actuating device, a worm 402 and a turbine 403 both rotatably arranged in the bottom shell 401, the turbine 403 is coaxially arranged with the power rotating shaft 301, a hollow turbine shaft 404 is coaxially arranged in the turbine 403 and is keyed connected with the turbine 403, the upper end of the hollow turbine shaft 404 is keyed connected with the lower end of the power rotating shaft 301, a motor is connected with the worm 402 for driving the worm 402 to rotate, the worm 402 is drivingly connected with the turbine 403, and the turbine 403 drives the power rotating shaft 301 to rotate through the hollow turbine shaft 404.

[0070] Further, the fixed shaft 306 of the driving unit 304 coaxially passes through the hollow turbine shaft 404 and the turbine 403, and the fixed shaft 306 has no connection relationship with the hollow turbine shaft 404 and the turbine 403, the bottom of the fixed shaft 306 is fixedly connected with the bottom shell 401 of the power unit 400, so that the fixed shaft 306 remains not to rotate.

[0071] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, and those skilled in the art can clearly understand that, for the convenience and brevity of description, the specific working process of the above-described system, module and unit can refer to the corresponding process in the foregoing method embodiments, which will not be described here. It should be understood that the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, and any person skilled in the art can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical range disclosed in the present application, and these modifications or replacements should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.

13. A lifting method, characterized in that, Using the actuating device according to any one of claims 1 to 12, the lifting method includes selecting to lift or retract as needed: During lifting, the drive unit drives the insert teeth (303) to be intermittently inserted into the tooth grooves (104) of the chain. The power shaft (301) drives the turntable assembly (302) and the insert teeth (303) to rotate clockwise. The insert teeth (303) drive the chain to move spirally upward around the height direction. The chain links (102) in the storage tray (202) are pushed by the insert teeth (303) and move towards the first spiral groove (203) along the vortex direction. The first spiral groove (203) guides the chain to move in a cylindrical spiral around the height direction. The lifting cover (101) located at the top of the chain is lifted upward with the movement of the chain. When retracted, the drive unit drives the insert teeth (303) to be intermittently inserted into the tooth grooves (104) of the chain. The power shaft (301) drives the turntable assembly (302) and the insert teeth (303) to rotate counterclockwise. The insert teeth (303) drive the chain to move downward in a spiral motion around the height direction. The chain located above the first spiral groove (203) passes through the first spiral groove (203) and is guided into the vortex groove (204) of the storage tray (202). The lifting cover (101) located at the top of the chain retracts downward with the movement of the chain. After the lifting cover (101) descends to the threshold height, the power shaft (301) stops rotating.
