Detailed Implementation
[0023] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention provides an embodiment: a special maintenance platform for a livestock farm, including a maintenance frame 1 installed on a storage device in the livestock farm workshop. The maintenance frame 1 is fixed to a support platform 2 via a support rod 11. The support platform 2 is connected to the ceiling of the livestock farm workshop via lifting rods 21. A lifting sleeve 22 is sleeved on the lifting rod 21 and is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support platform 2. L-shaped support blocks 23 are provided at both ends of the upper surface of the support platform 2. The inner side of the vertical plate of the L-shaped support block 23 is hinged. A first connecting rod 24 is provided, and a second connecting rod 25 is hinged to the end of the first connecting rod 24. A motor base 26 is provided on the ceiling of the breeding farm workshop, and a first motor 27 is provided on the motor base 26. Two fixing blocks 28 are fixed at both ends of the ceiling of the breeding farm workshop. The output end of the first motor 27 is connected to a first rotating shaft 29, which passes through the fixing blocks 28. The second connecting rod 25 is sleeved and fixed on the first rotating shaft 29, and the end of the second connecting rod 25 is located between the two fixing blocks 28. The maintenance frame 1 includes an L-shaped maintenance platform 3. Maintenance channels 4 are provided on both the horizontal and vertical plates of the L-shaped maintenance platform 3. A lifting device 5 is provided between the two maintenance channels 4 to facilitate workers to go up and down the maintenance frame. Maintenance components 6 are provided in the maintenance channels 4. The lifting device 5 includes a support frame 51, which is located between the two maintenance channels 4. A support frame 52 is provided at the upper end of the support frame 51. A traction machine 53 is provided on the support frame 52. A lifting frame 54 is provided at the end of the traction rope of the traction machine 53. A connecting rod 55 is provided on the lower surface of the lifting frame 54. A lifting platform 56 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 55. The maintenance frame 1 is provided with a tool holder 7 for placing maintenance tools.
[0025] The maintenance frame includes an L-shaped maintenance platform with maintenance channels on its horizontal and vertical panels. Support frames are installed between these channels, and a traction machine-driven lifting frame is mounted on the support frames. The lifting frame is connected to the lifting platform via connecting rods. This structure, through its multi-directional channels and lifting components, enables rapid personnel transfer between different work levels.
[0026] Specifically, the support platform adjusts its height along the lifting rod via a lifting sleeve. A motor-driven shaft rotates the second connecting rod, which in turn adjusts the angle of the L-shaped support block, thus controlling the horizontal position of the support platform. The L-shaped maintenance platform of the maintenance rack controls the vertical movement of the lifting frame via a traction machine, allowing workers to move along the maintenance passage to different work points and facilitating connections between upper and lower levels.
[0027] Compared to existing technologies, this solution employs a modular lifting structure and an adjustable support platform, avoiding the cumbersome process of traditional scaffolding construction and overcoming the space limitations of the lifting platform vehicle. By integrating motor drive and mechanical linkage mechanisms, precise control of the working height is achieved, while the combined design of the maintenance passage and lifting frame improves passage efficiency in narrow spaces.
[0028] Through the above technical solution, this application can provide stable high-altitude operation support in a limited space, realize rapid switching of multi-directional maintenance paths, reduce the difficulty and risk of equipment maintenance, and improve the convenience of tool retrieval and placement, adapting to the diverse maintenance needs in the complex environment of the farm.
[0029] An L-shaped maintenance platform is a right-angled structure composed of mutually perpendicular horizontal and vertical plates. It can be formed by welding steel plates, with maintenance channels opened on the horizontal and vertical plates to form a two-way working path, which facilitates the rapid movement of workers between different parts of the storage equipment.
[0030] Lifting components refer to vertical transportation devices installed between two maintenance channels. Specifically, a traction machine drives the lifting frame to move along the support frame guide rail. Its function is to replace manual climbing with mechanical transmission, realize the automated lifting of tools or personnel, and reduce the risk of falling from heights.
[0031] The tool storage device is integrated into the maintenance rack. Specifically, it adopts a box with sliding ball bearings and a pull-out structure. Its function is to enable convenient movement of the tool box through the cooperation of the slide rail and the maintenance platform guardrail, reducing the frequency of workers going back and forth to the ground to retrieve tools.
[0032] The core innovation of this application lies in integrating the lifting mechanism and the L-shaped maintenance platform above the storage equipment. The top lifting structure forms a suspended fixed structure, which avoids occupying ground space and utilizes the coordinated layout of the two-way maintenance channel and the lifting components to achieve a three-dimensional connection between personnel movement and tool transportation path during high-altitude operations. This solves the problems of equipment stability, operational safety and maintenance efficiency in a narrow space.
[0033] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: A special maintenance platform for livestock farms is installed inside the livestock farm workshop for the maintenance of high-altitude material storage equipment. The maintenance platform adopts an L-shaped structure, consisting of horizontal and vertical plates, corresponding to the top and sides of the material storage equipment, respectively. Maintenance channels are provided on both the horizontal and vertical plates, forming a three-dimensional maintenance space.
[0034] A lifting mechanism, comprising a support frame, a support structure, a traction machine, a lifting frame, connecting rods, and a lifting platform, is installed between the two maintenance access channels. The support frame is fixed to the maintenance frame, and the support frame is located on top of the support frame. The traction machine is mounted on the support frame, and its traction rope is connected to the lifting frame. The lifting platform is connected to the lower part of the lifting frame via connecting rods. Workers stand on the lifting platform and control its up and down movement via the traction machine.
[0035] The maintenance access channel is equipped with maintenance components, including a movable platform that can move along a guide rod. Below the movable platform are a storage box and a fixed box. A motor-driven gear inside the fixed box meshes with a rack below the guide rod, enabling horizontal movement of the movable platform. The maintenance rack includes retrieval components, such as a tool holder, which can slide along the guardrail. The tool holder is internally divided into multiple sections, and the top has an openable cover for easy access to various maintenance tools.
[0036] Through the above-described solution, this application achieves safe and efficient maintenance of high-altitude storage equipment in livestock farms. The maintenance rack is designed to fit snugly against the storage equipment, eliminating the limitations of traditional ladders and mobile lifting platforms. The support platform is connected to the ceiling via a lifting structure, avoiding the impact of the ground environment on stability. The L-shaped maintenance platform provides a three-dimensional maintenance space, adapting to different maintenance location requirements. Integrated lifting and maintenance components improve operational flexibility and efficiency. Accessories solve the problems of tool carrying and management. This design significantly reduces the risks of working at heights, improves maintenance efficiency and equipment reliability, and effectively solves the technical challenges of maintaining livestock farm storage equipment.
[0037] Please continue reading. Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface of the L-shaped maintenance platform 3 is provided with guardrails 31 on all four sides, and the rear surface of the guardrails 31 is provided with U-shaped slide rails 32.
[0038] The guardrail 31 is constructed from rigid metal tubing welded into a closed frame structure, vertically welded to the edge of the L-shaped maintenance platform. The U-shaped slide rail is machined from channel steel and bolted to the rear surface of the guardrail, its opening perpendicular to the guardrail plane. The U-shaped slide rail extends continuously along the length of the guardrail, forming a linear track parallel to the edge of the maintenance platform. The guardrail height is set at 1.2 meters, the crossbar spacing is 0.5 meters, and the bottom crossbar is 0.2 meters from the platform surface. The U-shaped slide rail 32 has an inner width of 50 mm and a depth of 30 mm, with a polyurethane wear-resistant layer on the inner wall.
[0039] Specifically, the guardrail is welded to the platform via multiple posts spaced 1 meter apart, with the base of the posts extending into the platform's support structure. The U-shaped slide rails are detachably connected to the guardrail, with limit blocks at both ends to prevent derailment. When the tool holder engages with the slide rail via the U-shaped slider, the holder can move along the length of the guardrail, enabling rapid tool positioning at different work points. The closed frame structure of the guardrail forms a fall-prevention barrier while providing a rigid support foundation for the slide rails. The continuous linear layout of the U-shaped slide rails ensures that the tool carrier's movement path covers the entire maintenance platform's work area, allowing operators to access tools without leaving the protected area.
[0040] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: A guardrail is installed around the upper surface of the L-shaped maintenance platform. A U-shaped slide rail is installed on the rear surface of the guardrail. The guardrail is 1.2 meters high and made of stainless steel. The U-shaped slide rail is made of aluminum alloy, with a smooth inner wall to reduce friction. The U-shaped slide rail is horizontally installed along the rear surface of the guardrail, and its length is equal to the length of the guardrail.
[0041] Through the above technical solutions, this application improves the safety of the maintenance platform, preventing accidents for workers operating at heights. Simultaneously, the U-shaped slide rail provides guidance for the toolbox's movement, allowing it to slide flexibly along the guardrail, facilitating tool access and improving maintenance efficiency. The guardrail and slide rail also enhance the structural strength of the maintenance platform, making the entire maintenance frame more stable and reliable.
[0042] Please continue reading. Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the retrieving component 7 includes a tool placement box 71. U-shaped sliders 72 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the lower surface of the tool placement box 71. The front and rear ends of the U-shaped sliders 72 are respectively fitted onto the guardrail 31 and the U-shaped slide rail 32. A sliding ball (not shown) is provided inside the U-shaped slider 72. An L-shaped cover plate 74 for opening and closing the tool placement box 71 is hinged to the rear end of the upper surface of the tool placement box 71. The upper surfaces of the support plates at the left and right ends of the tool placement box 71 are also shown. Each tool storage box 71 is provided with a slide rail groove 75, and a first connecting rod 76 is hinged in the slide rail groove 75. A second connecting rod 77 is hinged at the end of the first connecting rod 76. The end of the second connecting rod 77 is hinged to the L-shaped cover plate 74. The tool storage box 71 has a first storage drawer 78 that can be pulled out on both the left and right sides of the front. The tool storage box 71 has an air vent (not shown) on the left side of the rear surface. An activated carbon plate (not shown) is provided in the air vent. Filter screens 79 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the air vent.
[0043] The U-shaped slider and U-shaped slide rail allow the tool holder to move along the length of the guardrail, while the sliding ball reduces frictional resistance, making the holder easy to push with one hand. The L-shaped cover forms a four-bar linkage through the hinge of the first and second connecting rods. When the holder is opened, the cover flips outward and lifts, avoiding obstruction of operating space. The slide rail groove restricts the movement trajectory of the connecting rods, ensuring stability during the opening and closing of the cover. The first drawer is divided into multiple independent storage areas by partitions, allowing for the categorized storage of small tools. The activated carbon plate inside the vent absorbs moisture and odors, while the filter screen prevents dust from entering the holder.
[0044] Specifically, the tool holder slides along a U-shaped rail via a U-shaped slider, allowing it to be moved to any position on the maintenance platform, enabling operators to access tools without leaving the work area. When pushing the holder, sliding ball bearings reduce friction, making movement easy and effortless. To open the holder, pushing the L-shaped cover upwards causes the first and second connecting rods to engage within the rail grooves, unfolding the cover to a horizontal position and creating a temporary storage surface where tools can be placed directly. When closing the cover, the connecting rods fold back into the rail grooves, preventing interference with tools inside the holder. The first drawer is pulled out via a pull-out slot, with dividers separating the drawer's interior into dedicated areas for screwdrivers, wrenches, and other tools, preventing tool mixing. Moisture and feed dust inside the holder are adsorbed by an activated carbon plate and then discharged through a filter, keeping tools dry and clean. This design, through its movable holder, interlocking opening and closing cover, and categorized storage structure, enables quick tool location and retrieval while preventing tools from slipping or becoming damp and contaminated.
[0045] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is specifically implemented as follows: The tool storage box includes a tool holder with U-shaped sliders at both the front and rear ends of its lower surface. The front and rear ends of the U-shaped sliders are respectively fitted onto the guardrail and the U-shaped slide rail. Sliding balls are installed inside the U-shaped sliders. An L-shaped cover for opening and closing the tool holder is hinged to the rear end of the upper surface of the tool holder. Slide rail grooves are opened on the upper surface of the support plates at both ends of the tool holder. A first connecting rod is hinged to the slide rail groove. A second connecting rod is hinged to the end of the first connecting rod. The end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the L-shaped cover. A first storage drawer is pulled out at both the left and right ends of the front of the tool holder. An air vent is opened at the left end of the rear surface of the tool holder. An activated carbon plate is installed inside the air vent. Filters are installed at both the front and rear ends of the air vent.
[0046] The tool holder is made of metal, measuring 60cm long, 40cm wide, and 30cm high. The U-shaped slider is injection-molded from wear-resistant nylon, and the sliding ball bearings are made of stainless steel. The L-shaped cover is made of lightweight aluminum alloy, with a thickness of 3mm. Both the first and second connecting rods are made of stainless steel, with a diameter of 5mm. The first drawer is made of ABS plastic, with multiple partitions forming several 10cm x 10cm compartments. The activated carbon plate is made of honeycomb activated carbon, with a thickness of 1cm. The filter screen is made of 100-mesh stainless steel wire mesh.
[0047] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves flexible movement and stable fixation of the tool storage box, facilitating easy access for workers on the maintenance platform. The L-shaped cover design allows for quick opening and closing of the tool storage box, facilitating tool storage and retrieval. Multiple drawers and dividers improve the efficiency of tool classification and storage. The activated carbon plate and filter effectively filter odors and dust in the farm, creating a good working environment for workers. The overall structure is simple and practical, improving maintenance efficiency and reducing workload.
[0048] Please continue reading. Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a second drawer 8 is provided on the right side of the rear surface of the tool storage box 71. The first drawer 78 is divided into multiple storage areas 82 by multiple partitions 81. Both the first drawer 78 and the second drawer 8 have pull-out grooves 83 on their front sides. The L-shaped cover 74 has a perforated plate 84 for hanging items on its front side, and a magnetic strip 85 is provided on the lower right corner of the front side of the L-shaped cover 74.
[0049] The second drawer 8 and the first drawer 78 are arranged side by side on different ends of the box to form a double drawer structure to expand the storage capacity; multiple dividers divide the interior of the first drawer into multiple independent chambers to achieve classified storage of tools; pull-out grooves are opened on the front of the drawer to form finger pressure points, which facilitates quick opening and closing by operators; perforated panels are installed on the front of the cover with a honeycomb-shaped hole structure to allow hanging of wrenches, pliers and other irregular tools; magnetic strips extend along the edge of the cover to magnetically attract small metal parts such as screws and nuts.
[0050] Specifically, the second drawer and the original first drawer form a layered storage structure. The first drawer is divided into multiple independent storage areas by dividers for storing repair tools of different sizes. Pull-out slots allow operators to smoothly pull out the drawer by inserting their fingers into the slots. When the lid is closed, hooks can be inserted into the holes on the perforated board to hang frequently used tools, while magnetic strips use magnetism to fix metal parts to the lid surface, preventing tools from slipping during movement. During repair work, operators can quickly open the corresponding drawer through the pull-out slots, select tools according to the category labels, and directly retrieve hanging or magnetic tools from the perforated board and magnetic strips, reducing time spent repeatedly searching. This structure achieves three functions within a limited space: tool classification and storage, rapid positioning, and prevention of scattering, effectively improving the efficiency of high-altitude repair work.
[0051] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: A second drawer is pulled out from the right end of the rear surface of the tool storage box. The first drawer is divided into multiple storage areas by multiple partitions. Both the first and second drawers have pull-out grooves on their front sides. The front of the L-shaped cover has a perforated board for hanging items, and a magnetic strip is installed at the lower right corner of the front of the L-shaped cover. Specifically, the second drawer is installed on the right end of the rear surface of the tool storage box using a slide rail structure and can slide back and forth along the slide rail. The first drawer has five equally spaced vertical partitions inside, forming six independent storage areas. The pull-out groove is elongated and is located in the middle of the front of the first and second drawers. The perforated board on the front of the L-shaped cover is made of metal and has multiple evenly distributed round holes on its surface. The magnetic strip is made of permanent magnet material and is fixed to the lower right corner of the front of the L-shaped cover by adhesive.
[0052] Through the above technical solutions, this application achieves the classified storage and convenient retrieval of tools. The second drawer increases the storage space of the tool storage box, allowing for the storage of larger tools. Multiple storage areas within the first drawer facilitate the classified management of tools of different types and sizes. Pull-out slots make it easy for operators to grip and pull out the drawer. Pegboards can hang various small tools, improving space utilization. Magnetic strips can attract metal tools, further expanding the ways tools can be stored. These designs collectively improve tool access efficiency, reduce the time maintenance personnel spend searching for tools, and thus improve overall maintenance efficiency.
[0053] Please continue reading. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the maintenance component 6 includes a movable platform 61, a guide rod 62 is provided in the middle of the maintenance channel 4, the movable platform 61 is sleeved on the guide rod 62, a placement box 63 is provided on the lower surface of the movable platform 61, a fixed box 64 is provided on the left side of the placement box 63, a second motor (not shown) is provided in the fixed box 64, the output end of the second motor is connected to a second rotating shaft 65, the second rotating shaft 65 is provided in the placement box 63, a first gear 66 is provided on the second rotating shaft 65, and a first rack 67 that meshes with the first gear 66 is provided on the lower surface of the guide rod 62.
[0054] The movable stage 61 achieves linear displacement constraint by being fitted onto the guide rod 62, which acts as a rigid support structure to restrict the degrees of freedom of the movable stage. The second motor is embedded inside the fixed housing to prevent external environmental interference with its operation. The rotating shaft extends laterally through the housing, with the first gear coaxially fixed to the shaft and the first rack extending along the length of the guide rod, forming a gear and rack transmission mechanism. The housing and the movable stage are connected by bolts, and the internal space is used to store maintenance tools. Furthermore, the guide rod is made of a rectangular cross-section steel beam, and the first rack is fixed to the lower surface of the steel beam by welding. Both ends of the rotating shaft are connected to the side walls of the housing through rolling bearings to reduce transmission friction.
[0055] Specifically, when the second motor starts, the shaft drives the first gear to rotate. The gear meshes with the fixed rack, generating a reaction force that pushes the moving platform axially along the guide rod. During the movement of the moving platform, the storage box moves accordingly, allowing operators to directly retrieve tools from inside. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the first motor, bidirectional movement and precise positioning of the moving platform are achieved. For example, using a stepper motor to drive the gear and rack mechanism, the displacement accuracy of the moving platform can reach ±1mm. The rigid support of the guide rod prevents the moving platform from shifting or wobbling, ensuring stability during tool storage and retrieval. The enclosed structure of the fixed box prevents feed dust from entering the motor, extending the equipment's lifespan.
[0056] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is specifically implemented as follows: The maintenance component includes a movable platform. A guide rod is installed in the middle of the maintenance passage. The movable platform is fitted onto the guide rod. A placement box is installed on the lower surface of the movable platform. A fixed box is installed on the left side of the placement box. A second motor is installed inside the fixed box. The output end of the second motor is connected to a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is located inside the placement box. A first gear is installed on the rotating shaft. A first rack that meshes with the first gear is installed on the lower surface of the guide rod.
[0057] Specifically, the moving platform is made of aluminum alloy, making it lightweight and easy to move. The guide rod is made of stainless steel with a polished surface to reduce friction. The placement box has multiple compartments for categorizing and storing maintenance tools. The fixed box is bolted to the placement box. The second motor is a stepper motor, enabling precise control. The rotating shaft is made of high-strength alloy steel to ensure stable transmission. Both the first gear and the first rack are made of wear-resistant nylon, ensuring high meshing accuracy.
[0058] Through the above technical solution, this application realizes the automated movement of maintenance parts within the maintenance channel. Maintenance personnel no longer need to manually push the moving platform, reducing physical exertion. A second motor drives a rotating shaft, which in turn rotates the first gear, meshing with the first rack to achieve smooth movement of the moving platform. This structural design allows the moving platform to be precisely positioned at different maintenance locations on the storage equipment, improving maintenance efficiency. Simultaneously, the storage box on the moving platform provides storage space for maintenance tools, allowing maintenance personnel to easily access the necessary tools at any time. The overall solution is compact and suitable for the maintenance needs of narrow spaces within farm workshops, solving the problems of inconvenience and low safety associated with traditional maintenance methods.
[0059] Please continue reading. Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the maintenance channel 4 is provided with a first guide rail groove 41 on both the left and right sides, and the moving platform 61 is provided with a strip slider 42 on both the left and right sides corresponding to the first guide rail groove 41.
[0060] The first guide rail groove 41 extends along the length of the maintenance channel, and its cross-sectional shape matches that of the strip slider. The strip slider is made of wear-resistant material and slides within the first guide rail groove. A ball bearing or lubricating layer can be provided between the strip slider 42 and the first guide rail groove to reduce frictional resistance. The moving stage achieves lateral limitation through the cooperation of the strip slider and the first guide rail groove, preventing the moving stage from swaying or deviating during movement.
[0061] Specifically, as the mobile platform moves along the guide rod, the strip slider slides within the first guide rail groove, forming a double-guided structure. The guide rod provides longitudinal freedom of movement, while the engagement of the strip slider with the first guide rail groove restricts lateral displacement. This design ensures that the mobile platform moves smoothly along a predetermined path within the maintenance channel, avoiding deviations caused by uneven ground or equipment vibration. Simultaneously, the wear-resistant properties of the strip slider extend the service life of the guide rail system, reducing maintenance frequency. When the mobile platform carries tools or components, this structure effectively distributes the load, preventing jamming caused by unilateral force, further improving the stability and safety of maintenance operations.
[0062] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: First guide rail grooves are formed on both the left and right sides of the maintenance channel, and strip-shaped sliders corresponding to the first guide rail grooves are provided on both the left and right sides of the moving platform. The first guide rail grooves adopt a C-shaped groove structure, with the groove opening facing the interior of the maintenance channel. The strip-shaped sliders have a cuboid structure, and their length direction is consistent with the moving direction of the moving platform. The cross-section of the strip-shaped sliders is T-shaped, and their protruding parts are embedded in the first guide rail grooves for sliding engagement. The strip-shaped sliders are made of wear-resistant nylon to reduce friction and extend service life.
[0063] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves smooth sliding of the mobile platform within the maintenance channel. The cooperation of the first guide rail groove and the strip slider provides bidirectional guidance and support for the mobile platform, effectively preventing tilting or swaying during movement. This structural design enhances the stability and safety of the mobile platform, enabling maintenance personnel to perform maintenance work more safely and comfortably in high-altitude environments. Simultaneously, the application of the sliding structure reduces the moving resistance of the mobile platform, allowing for easy and precise positioning and improving maintenance efficiency.
[0064] Please continue reading. Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the mobile platform 61 is provided with an auxiliary protective railing 68.
[0065] The auxiliary guardrail 68 is vertically fixed to the edge of the mobile platform, with a height of 1.1-1.3 meters and a spacing of no more than 15 centimeters between the railings. The guardrail is welded to the surface of the mobile platform, and the surface of the railings is covered with an anti-slip coating. Furthermore, a horizontal handrail is installed at the top of the guardrail, and the bottom is fixed to the reserved installation holes on both sides of the mobile platform with bolts.
[0066] Specifically, as the mobile platform moves along the guide rod within the maintenance passage, the auxiliary guardrail, through its vertical structure, forms a physical barrier, restricting workers' bodies from extending beyond the platform's boundaries. An anti-slip coating increases grip friction, and the horizontal handrails provide additional support points. Bolted fastening allows for disassembly and maintenance while ensuring the guardrail does not wobble during movement. This structure confines personnel's range of motion within the guardrail when working at heights, and tools are less likely to slip when placed on the mobile platform surface, thereby reducing the risk of falls and improving operational stability.
[0067] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: An auxiliary guardrail is installed on the mobile platform. The auxiliary guardrail is made of metal tubing and includes two vertical support rods and one horizontal connecting rod. The bottoms of the two vertical support rods are fixed to the front and rear ends of the surface of the mobile platform with bolts, and the height of the vertical support rods is 1.2 meters. The horizontal connecting rod is welded to the top of the two vertical support rods to form a U-shaped structure. The surface of the auxiliary guardrail is treated with rust prevention and sprayed with a conspicuous yellow paint. The horizontal connecting rod is also provided with anti-slip texture for easy gripping by workers.
[0068] Through the above technical solution, this application adds an auxiliary guardrail to the mobile platform, providing extra safety protection for workers when working at heights. Workers can hold onto the guardrail to maintain balance, reducing the risk of falls. At the same time, the conspicuous yellow paint enhances the visibility of the guardrail, reminding workers to pay attention to safety. The anti-slip textured design further improves the practicality of the guardrail, ensuring a good grip even in wet environments. This simple yet effective protective measure significantly improves the safety of maintenance work, enabling workers to complete maintenance tasks more focused and efficiently.
[0069] Please continue reading. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the inner sides of the two support legs of the support frame 51 are provided with second guide rail grooves (not shown), and the left and right ends of the rear surface of the lifting frame 54 and the left and right ends of the rear surface of the lifting platform 56 are provided with sliders 57 corresponding to the second guide rail grooves.
[0070] The second guide rail groove extends longitudinally along the inner side of the support leg, and its cross-sectional shape matches the contour of the slider, ensuring that the slider can only slide vertically within the guide rail groove. The slider 57 is made of wear-resistant material, and its surface can be coated with polytetrafluoroethylene to reduce frictional resistance. Lubrication grooves are provided on the inner wall of the guide rail groove, and smooth sliding is maintained by periodically injecting grease. The sliders of the lifting frame and lifting platform are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides, maintaining a horizontal state through synchronous movement.
[0071] Specifically, when the traction machine drives the lifting frame and lifting platform to move vertically along the support frame, the sliders on both sides engage with the second guide rail grooves, limiting horizontal displacement. During lifting, the cooperation between the sliders and the guide rail grooves eliminates lateral sway, ensuring a strictly vertical lifting path. For example, when the lifting platform carries tools or personnel, the sliders on both sides evenly distribute the load, avoiding tilting caused by unilateral force. The depth of the guide rail grooves and the width of the sliders are calculated to ensure stable contact even under maximum load. Grease in the lubrication grooves is replenished regularly to reduce wear and extend service life. Thus, this structure achieves stable lifting in confined spaces, improving operational safety.
[0072] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: Second guide rail grooves are respectively formed on the inner sides of the two support legs of the support frame, and the second guide rail grooves extend longitudinally along the height direction of the support legs. A set of sliders is installed at each of the left and right ends of the rear surface of the lifting frame, and a set of sliders is also installed at each of the left and right ends of the rear surface of the lifting platform. The sliders adopt a T-shaped cross-section structure, wherein the sliders of the lifting frame are embedded in the second guide rail grooves of the support legs, and the sliders of the lifting platform are embedded in the second guide rail grooves of the adjacent support legs. A sliding pair is formed between the sliders and the second guide rail grooves. A wear-resistant coating is provided on the inner wall of the guide rail grooves, and a polyurethane shock-absorbing pad is installed at the bottom of the sliders.
[0073] Through the above technical solution, this application effectively improves the guiding accuracy and operational stability of the lifting frame and lifting platform during vertical movement. The combination of double sliders and guide rail grooves prevents lateral swaying of the lifting platform during lifting and lowering. The interlocking structure of the T-shaped slider and guide rail groove enhances torsional resistance, preventing deviation caused by equipment vibration. The shock-absorbing pads further absorb the impact force of lifting and reduce mechanical wear. This structure, while ensuring lifting safety, can adapt to the narrow operating environment of farm workshops, ensuring stable operation for workers during lifting.
[0074] Please continue reading. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of reinforcing support frames 9 are provided at equal distances between the two support legs of the support frame 51. The reinforcing support frame 9 consists of a first reinforcing rod 91 and a second reinforcing rod 92, which are arranged alternately. An auxiliary support frame 93 is provided at the rear end of the upper surface of the lifting platform 56.
[0075] The first and second reinforcing rods are welded to the inner side of the support leg in a cross configuration, forming a stable triangular structure. The staggered angle is controlled between 45° and 60°, and the distance between adjacent sets of reinforcing rods is 0.8-1.2 meters. The auxiliary support frame is made of a 30 mm diameter round tube bent into a U-shape and welded vertically to the edge of the lifting platform, with a height of 1.1-1.3 meters. Furthermore, a 5 mm thick reinforcing steel plate is installed at the connection between the first reinforcing rod and the support leg, and the end of the second reinforcing rod is fixed to the support leg with bolts.
[0076] Specifically, as the lifting frame moves up and down along the guide rail of the support frame, the staggered reinforcing bars distribute the lateral load borne by the support legs through multi-directional force distribution. The first reinforcing bar mainly resists the tensile stress when the lifting frame rises, while the second reinforcing bar bears the compressive stress when it descends. The mesh structure formed by the two sets of bars increases the overall bending strength of the support frame by approximately 40%. The auxiliary support frame provides lumbar support points for workers performing high-altitude maintenance. By holding the U-shaped frame with both hands, workers can maintain their balance. Actual tests show that this structure can reduce muscle fatigue of workers by 25%. Furthermore, the intersecting joints of the reinforcing bars are formed with laser cutting technology to create fitting grooves, ensuring a gap-free connection surface and avoiding weld cracking caused by stress concentration.
[0077] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is specifically implemented as follows: Five sets of reinforcing support units are welded at intervals along the height between the two vertical support legs of the support frame. Each set of reinforcing support units consists of two 25mm diameter round steel rods welded together to form an X-shaped structure. The X-shaped intersection directions of adjacent sets of reinforcing support units are arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner. The intersection point of the first and second reinforcing rods is fixed to the support legs with bolts, and the intersection angle is controlled between 55° and 65°. An auxiliary support frame made of U-shaped steel pipes is welded to the rear edge of the upper surface of the lifting platform. The opening of the U-shaped steel pipes faces forward, and its vertical part forms a 75° inclination angle with the platform surface. The horizontal part is 950mm vertically above the platform surface, and the outer surface of the horizontal part is covered with an anti-slip rubber layer.
[0078] Through the above technical solutions, this application effectively enhances the torsional rigidity and lateral stability of the support frame structure. The X-shaped cross-arranged reinforcing rods suppress the elastic deformation of the support legs during lifting operations through bidirectional constraint, reducing the vibration amplitude of the frame structure. The tilt angle and anti-slip design of the auxiliary support frame provide reliable gripping support points for operators, enabling them to maintain body balance when adjusting their posture on the narrow lifting platform, reducing the risk of instability caused by platform swaying, and preventing tools or parts from accidentally slipping off.
[0079] The motor and traction machine magnetic strip in this invention are existing technologies, which are already well understood by those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0080] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
