[0029] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings.

[0030] Embodiment 1, a nut / screw-based transversely movable lifting platform, comprises a lifting plate 101, on which a second motor 112 and a second screw 113 with a rotating axis in a vertical direction are fixedly provided, the output shaft of the second motor 112 is fixedly connected to a second active synchronous pulley 117, one end of the second screw 113 is fixedly connected to a second driven synchronous pulley 118, a second synchronous belt 119 is wound around the second driven synchronous pulley 118 and the second active synchronous pulley 117; the second screw 113 is threadedly connected to a second nut 114, and the second nut 114 is directly or indirectly fixedly connected to the transverse plate 102; a vertically arranged second guide rail 115 is fixedly provided on the lifting plate 101, and a second slider 116 is directly or indirectly fixedly provided on the transverse plate 102, and the second slider 116 is slidably matched with the second guide rail 115.

[0031] The lifting plate 101 is indirectly fixed to the transverse plate 102, and the middle part of the transverse plate 102 is fixed to the first nut 103. The upper and lower parts of the first nut 103 are respectively fixed with first sliders 104, and the first slider 104 slidably cooperates with the first guide rail 105. The first guide rail 105 is first horizontally arranged and fixed on the fixed plate 106, and the fixed plate 106 is fixed on the frame of the grinding and polishing machine; the first screw rod 107 is rotated on the fixed plates 106 at both ends of the first guide rail 105, and the first motor 110 is fixed on the fixed plate 106 at one end, and the first screw rod 107 is threadedly connected to the first nut 103; one end of the first screw rod 107 is fixed to the first driven synchronous pulley 108, and the output shaft of the first motor 110 is fixed to the first active synchronous pulley 109, and the first driven synchronous pulley 108 and the first active synchronous pulley 109 are wound with the first synchronous belt 111.

[0032] The lifting plate 101 is used to install the workpiece of the workpiece drive device grinding and polishing machine for driving the workpiece to rotate and apply axial force to the workpiece. By fixing the second motor 112 and the second screw 113 on it, the vertical movement capability of the lifting plate is realized, so that the working height can be adjusted according to the processing requirements. The fixed connection design of the second nut 114 and the fixed plate 106 ensures the stability and accuracy of the lifting plate 101 during the vertical movement, and also makes the maintenance and adjustment of the lifting mechanism easier. The sliding cooperation of the second guide rail 115 and the second slider 116 enables the lifting plate 101 to move smoothly in the vertical direction, reduces the friction and noise during the movement, and improves the life and work efficiency of the lifting mechanism. The indirect fixed connection design of the transverse plate 102 allows the transverse plate to move horizontally relative to the lifting plate, increases the flexibility of the platform, and enables it to adapt to the processing requirements of different positions. The fixed first slider 104 at the upper and lower ends of the first nut 103, and the sliding cooperation with the first guide rail 105, realizes the precise lateral displacement of the transverse plate, and ensures the positioning accuracy during the processing. The first guide rail 105 is arranged horizontally on the fixed plate, providing a stable lateral movement path for the transverse plate, ensuring the stability and reliability during the transverse movement. The first screw rod 107 and the first motor 110 are driven by the first synchronous belt 111 and the synchronous pulleys 108 and 109, realizing smooth and synchronous lateral movement of the transverse plate, and improving the consistency and repeatability of the movement. The first motor 110 serves as the driving force source for the movement of the transverse plate. Through its precise control, the precise position control of the transverse plate can be achieved to meet the requirements of high-precision processing. Through the combination of these technical features, the lifting platform of Example 1 can achieve precise three-dimensional movement in the grinding and polishing machine, improve the processing flexibility and efficiency of the equipment, while also simplifying the mechanical structure, reducing maintenance costs, and enhancing the stability and reliability of the system. This design is suitable for complex processing tasks that require precise control of processing position and height, and can significantly improve the performance of the grinding and polishing machine.

[0033] Embodiment 2, a lifting platform that can be laterally moved based on a synchronous belt, discards the first screw rod 107 and the first nut 103 in Embodiment 1, and in addition, the first driven synchronous pulley 108 and the first driving synchronous pulley 109 are rotated on the fixed plates 106 corresponding to the two ends of the first guide rail 105, with the axial direction being horizontal, and the transverse plate 102 is fixedly connected to the outer layer or inner layer of the first synchronous belt 111. The rest is the same as Embodiment 1.

[0034] By removing the first screw 107 and the first nut 103, the lifting platform structure of Example 2 is more simplified, the number of mechanical parts is reduced, the manufacturing and maintenance costs are reduced, and the overall weight is also reduced. Compared with the screw nut drive, the synchronous belt drive has lower friction and wear characteristics, which means that during the movement of the transverse plate 102, there is less energy loss, higher efficiency, and a longer service life of the synchronous belt. The first driven synchronous pulley 108 and the first active synchronous pulley 109 are rotated on the fixed plate 106, and the axial direction is horizontal. This layout helps to improve the transmission efficiency and ensure the smooth and synchronous movement of the transverse plate 102. The transverse plate 102 is fixedly connected to the outer layer or inner layer of the first synchronous belt 111. This design enhances the transmission synchronization performance of the synchronous belt, ensures that the speed and position control of the transverse plate during movement is more accurate, and can improve the grinding and polishing efficiency. The synchronous belt drive system has low vibration and low noise during operation, which helps to improve the movement stability of the entire lifting platform. For precision processing equipment such as grinding and polishing machines, stability is an important factor in improving processing quality. Since the synchronous belt transmission system has a simple structure, it is easier to maintain. It is only necessary to regularly check the tension and wear of the synchronous belt, and adjust or replace it when necessary, which greatly reduces the maintenance workload. The lifting platform design of Example 2 allows the transverse plate 102 to move over a large range in the horizontal direction, and has strong adaptability and can meet the requirements of different processing tasks for the position of the working area. Through these improvements, the lifting platform of Example 2 maintains the original lifting function while optimizing the transmission system to achieve more efficient, smooth and low-maintenance lateral movement, which is suitable for grinding and polishing operations with high requirements for precision and stability.

[0035] Embodiment 3 is a fully synchronous belt transversely movable lifting platform. Based on Embodiment 2, not only the first screw rod 107 and the first nut 103 in Embodiment 1 are discarded, but also the second screw rod 113 and the second nut 114 are discarded, and they are directly replaced by synchronous belts.

[0036] Embodiment 4, a chain-based transversely movable lifting platform, discards the first screw rod 107 and the first nut 103 in Embodiment 1, and also discards the synchronous pulley and synchronous belt. In addition, the driven sprocket and the driving sprocket are rotated on the fixed plates 106 at the two ends of the corresponding first guide rail 105, with the axial direction being horizontal, and the chain is wound around the driven sprocket and the driving sprocket, and the transverse plate 102 is fixedly connected to the outer ring or inner ring of the chain. Of course, the output shaft of the first motor 110 is fixedly connected to the driving sprocket, and the rest is the same as Embodiment 1.

[0037] Chain drive is usually able to transmit greater force, which is a significant advantage for lifting platforms that need to apply a large load on the transverse plate 102. Due to the strength and durability of the chain, the lifting platform of Example 3 is more suitable for high-load working environments and can provide stable lateral movement capabilities. The chain drive is less likely to elastically slide under high loads, which means that the positioning of the transverse plate 102 is more accurate, improving the working efficiency of the entire system. The maintenance of the chain and sprocket is relatively simple, the tension of the chain is easy to adjust, and the replacement of the chain and sprocket when necessary is more convenient and economical. The horizontal layout of the driven sprocket and the driving sprocket helps to improve the transmission efficiency and ensure the smooth and synchronous movement of the transverse plate 102. The horizontal layout of the driven sprocket and the driving sprocket helps to improve the transmission efficiency and ensure the smooth and synchronous movement of the transverse plate 102. Compared with the screw nut and synchronous belt drive system, the cost of chain drive is usually lower, which helps to reduce the overall manufacturing cost of the lifting platform. The reliability of the chain drive is high, especially in long-term operation and repetitive work, the stability of the chain can ensure the continuous and stable operation of the transverse plate 102. Through the integration of these technical features, the lifting platform of Example 3 achieves more reliable and economical lateral movement through the chain transmission system while maintaining the original lifting function, and is particularly suitable for grinding and polishing operations with heavy loads or harsh working environments.

For those skilled in the art, various modifications or improvements can be made to the utility model based on the contents disclosed in this specification, and all these modifications or improvements should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
