Saw teeth are arranged on both sides of the lifting plate 13. There are two rotating rods 12 and they are rotatably connected to the mobile frame 2. The two rotating rods 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting plate 13. The mobile frame 2 is located on both sides of the lifting plate 13 and bearings 16 are arranged. The rotating rod 12 cooperates with the bearings 16. The bearings 16 are arranged to ensure the smoothness of the rotation of the rotating rod 12. A gear 15 is arranged at one end of the rotating rod 12. The gear 15 is meshed with the serrations on the side of the lifting plate 13. The end of the rotating rod 12 away from the gear 15 passes through the mobile frame 2 and is installed with a limit plate 14.

[0026] Installation method and use principle: Install the electric cylinder 11 in the middle position of the outer surface of the mobile frame 2, then match the two rotating rods 12 with the limit plates 14 with the bearings 16 of the mobile frame 2, and install the gear 15 on the outer end of the rotating rod 12, then connect the lifting plate 13 with the connecting piece of the electric cylinder 11, and make the saw teeth on both sides of the lifting plate 13 mesh with the gear 15.
