In the prior art, some lifting devices are often used to complete the lifting and transportation of objects. However, the lifting devices in the prior art are usually large in size and complex in structure, and are not suitable for use in places with narrow spaces. Although some lifting devices have been targeted and are suitable for use in narrow spaces, they lack support stability. The utility model patent with publication number CN215880556U discloses an automatic lifting device for a welding workstation fixture, including a base, a mounting plate and a positioning mechanism, the mounting plate is arranged on the upper part of the base, the positioning mechanism is mounted on the mounting plate, and also includes a lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder, a mounting seat and a lifting support block; the lifting cylinder is mounted on the mounting plate through a mounting seat fixed on its side; the lifting support block is mounted on the extension end of the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder, and corresponds to the workpiece mounted on the positioning mechanism. When the workpiece is welded, the lifting cylinder drives the lifting support block to rise, and the workpiece is ejected from the positioning mechanism to complete the automatic disassembly of the workpiece. Although the utility model can be used in a narrow space, the supporting force during jacking is only provided by the jacking cylinder, the supporting points are few, the supporting area is limited, and the supporting stability is insufficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] Existing jacking devices are either large in size and complex in structure, and are not suitable for use in narrow spaces; or are suitable for use in narrow spaces but have insufficient supporting stability. To overcome this defect, the utility model provides an automatic jacking device that is suitable for use in narrow spaces and has good supporting stability.

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is: an automatic lifting device, including a hinge seat and a transmission screw, the transmission screw is provided with two threaded sections of equal length, the two threaded sections have opposite thread rotation directions, each of the two threaded sections is provided with a transmission nut, the transmission nut is connected to the threaded section by threads, the bottom of the hinge seat is symmetrically connected with an upper folding arm, the top of the upper folding arm is hinged on the hinge seat, the bottom of the upper folding arm is hinged on the transmission nut, and the end of the transmission screw is connected with a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism drives the transmission screw, and the rotation of the transmission screw drives the transmission nuts at both ends to move inward synchronously, pushing the upper folding arm to gradually stand up, and the top pressure hinge seat rises steadily. The structural layout of the utility model is developed around the transmission screw, and the upper folding arm is vertically folded and stretched within the area occupied by the transmission screw. The shape of the transmission screw determines that the overall shape of the automatic lifting device is relatively narrow and long, with a small area occupied, and is suitable for use in a small space. At the same time, the symmetrically arranged upper folding arms provide multi-point support, and can ensure that the application of the supporting force is synchronous and balanced, so as to better keep the object stable during the lifting process.

[0005] Preferably, the automatic lifting device further comprises a connecting base, the connecting base and the hinge seat are symmetrically located on both sides of the transmission screw, the connecting base and the transmission nut are connected through a lower folding arm, and the two ends of the lower folding arm are respectively hinged to the connecting base 5 and the transmission nut. Similar structures are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the transmission screw, and after the transmission screw drives the transmission nut, a larger cumulative size change can be generated before and after the upper and lower folding arms are unfolded. If the connecting base is used as a fixed point, the hinge seat obtains a larger lifting stroke.

[0006] Preferably, the automatic lifting device further comprises an outer frame, the transmission screw is located inside the outer frame, guide grooves are provided on both sides of the outer frame, and the transmission nut is slidably connected with the guide grooves through guide pins. The outer frame can directly provide installation support for the transmission screw and other components, and can better conceal the transmission screw and the transmission nut. The transmission nut is connected to the guide groove through the guide pin, and the transmission nut can be positioned circumferentially to prevent the transmission nut from rotating with the transmission screw, and can only slide axially along the guide groove, thereby ensuring that the hinge seat rises in parallel.

[0007] Preferably, the upper folding arm and the lower folding arm are both double-body structures, and each upper folding arm and each lower folding arm include two parallel rods. The upper folding arm and the lower folding arm adopt a double-body structure, and the rods constituting each upper folding arm and the lower folding arm can form a multi-point connection with the connection object, and the mechanical structure is more stable.

[0008] Preferably, the hinge seat is connected with a mounting platform. The hinge seat is mainly used as a connector, and its surface area is limited, so it is not suitable to be directly used to carry objects or to be connected with other structures. Connecting the mounting platform can expand the bearing area or connection area.

[0009] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a motor, and the output end of the motor is connected to the transmission screw. The motor drives the transmission screw, which has a high degree of automation, stable and accurate operation, and is suitable for embedding in automation equipment.

[0010] As a preference, the motor is perpendicular to the transmission screw, and the output end of the motor is connected to the transmission screw via a bevel gear set. The motor can be perpendicular to the transmission screw, which is suitable for a space with limited length and sufficient depth.

[0011] As an alternative, the motor is coaxial with the transmission screw, and the output end of the motor is connected to the transmission screw through a coupling. The motor can also be coaxial with the transmission screw, which is suitable for a space with sufficient length and limited depth.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] The structure is compact and occupies a small area, which is suitable for lifting objects in a small space. The structural layout of the utility model is developed around the transmission screw, and the upper folding arm is vertically folded and stretched within the area occupied by the transmission screw. The shape of the transmission screw determines that the overall shape of the automatic lifting device is relatively narrow and long, and the area occupied is small, which is suitable for use in a small space.

[0014] The supporting stability is good. The symmetrically arranged upper folding arms in the utility model provide multi-point support and can ensure that the application of the supporting force is synchronous and balanced, so as to better keep the object stable during the lifting process.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the specific embodiments of the drawings.

[0020] Embodiment 1:

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, an automatic lifting device includes a hinge seat 1, a transmission screw 2, a connecting base 5 and an outer frame 7. The transmission screw 2 is provided with two threaded sections of equal length, and the threaded directions of the two threaded sections are opposite. A transmission nut 3 is provided on each of the two threaded sections, and the transmission nut 3 is connected to the threaded section by threads. Guide pins 13 are fixed on both sides of the transmission nut 3. A pair of upper folding arms 4 are symmetrically connected to the bottom of the hinge seat 1. The top ends of the two upper folding arms 4 are hinged to the hinge seat 1 together, and the bottom ends of the two upper folding arms 4 are hinged to the guide pins 13 of the two transmission nuts 3 one by one. The connecting base 5 and the hinge seat 1 are symmetrically located on both sides of the transmission screw 2. The connecting base 5 is connected to the transmission nut 3 through the lower folding arm 6. The two ends of the lower folding arm 6 are respectively hinged to the guide pins 13 on the connecting base 5 and the transmission nut 3. The two upper folding arms 4 and the two lower folding arms 6 are arranged in a rhombus. The outer frame 7 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and has a cavity that passes through the top and bottom surfaces. The transmission screw 2 and the transmission nut 3 are located in the cavity. Guide grooves 8 are provided on both sides of the outer frame 7, and the transmission nut 3 is slidably connected to the guide grooves 8 through guide pins 13. The upper folding arm 4 and the lower folding arm 6 are both double-body structures. Each upper folding arm 4 and each lower folding arm 6 include two parallel rods. The two rods in each upper folding arm 4 are located on both sides of the hinge seat 1 and the transmission nut 3, respectively, and the two rods in each lower folding arm 6 are located on both sides of the connection base 5 and the transmission nut 3, respectively. A mounting platform 9 is connected to the hinge seat 1. The end of the transmission screw 2 is connected to a driving mechanism, which includes a motor 10 and a bevel gear set. The bevel gear set includes an active bevel gear 11 and a driven bevel gear 12. A motor mounting interface is provided at the top of one end of the outer frame 7. The motor 10 is mounted on the motor mounting interface. The motor 10 is perpendicular to the transmission screw 2. The active bevel gear 11 is keyed to the output end of the motor 10. The driven bevel gear 12 is keyed to the end of the transmission screw 2. The active bevel gear 11 is meshed with the driven bevel gear 12, so that the output end of the motor 10 is connected to the transmission screw 2. The automatic lifting device is arranged on the loading station on the production line, and the connecting base 5 is fixed on the table of the production line as the height measurement base point of the automatic lifting device. The motor 10 is controlled by the PLC of the production line.

[0022] When the automatic lifting device is working, the torque output by the motor 10 is transmitted to the transmission screw 2 through the bevel gear set, driving the transmission screw 2 to rotate. Since the guide pin on the transmission nut 3 is connected in the guide groove 8, the transmission nut 3 will not rotate with the transmission screw 2. The transmission nut 3 and the transmission screw 2 rotate relative to each other. The thread engagement between the transmission nut 3 and the transmission screw 2 converts the relative rotation between the two into relative axial motion. Finally, the transmission screw 2 drives the two transmission nuts 3 to move inward synchronously, that is, approach each other, push the upper folding arm 4 and the lower folding arm 6 to gradually stand up, and the top hinge seat 1 rises steadily. On the contrary, when the motor 10 drives the transmission screw 2 to rotate in the opposite direction, the transmission screw 2 drives the two transmission nuts 3 to move outward synchronously, that is, move away from each other, push the upper folding arm 4 and the lower folding arm 6 to gradually flatten, and the hinge seat 1 and the installation platform 9 steadily descend.

[0023] Embodiment 2:

[0024] An automatic lifting device includes a hinge seat 1, a transmission screw 2, a connecting base 5 and an outer frame 7.

The connecting base 5 and the hinge seat 1 are symmetrically located on both sides of the transmission screw 2, and the connecting base 5 is connected to the transmission nut 3 through the lower folding arm 6, and the two ends of the lower folding arm 6 are respectively hinged to the guide pins 13 on the connecting base 5 and the transmission nut 3. The two upper folding arms 4 and the two lower folding arms 6 are arranged in a rhombus. The outer frame 7 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. The outer frame 7 has a cavity that passes through the top and bottom surfaces. The transmission screw 2 and the transmission nut 3 are located in the cavity. Guide grooves 8 are provided on both sides of the outer frame 7. The transmission nut 3 is slidably connected to the guide grooves 8 through guide pins 13. The upper folding arm 4 and the lower folding arm 6 are both double-body structures. Each upper folding arm 4 and each lower folding arm 6 include two parallel rods. The two rods in each upper folding arm 4 are located on both sides of the hinge seat 1 and the transmission nut 3, respectively.

The automatic lifting device is installed in an electric vehicle 4S shop or an electric vehicle replacement station for replacing batteries, and the connecting base 5 is fixed on the ground or table of the maintenance station as the height measurement base point of the automatic lifting device. The motor 10 is controlled by a button.

[0025] When the automatic lifting device is working, the torque output by the motor 10 is transmitted to the transmission screw 2 through the bevel gear set, driving the transmission screw 2 to rotate. Since the guide pin on the transmission nut 3 is connected in the guide groove 8, the transmission nut 3 will not rotate with the transmission screw 2. The transmission nut 3 and the transmission screw 2 rotate relative to each other. The thread engagement between the transmission nut 3 and the transmission screw 2 converts the relative rotation between the two into relative axial motion. Finally, the transmission screw 2 drives the two transmission nuts 3 to move inward synchronously, that is, approach each other, push the upper folding arm 4 and the lower folding arm 6 to gradually stand up, and the top hinge seat 1 rises steadily. On the contrary, when the motor 10 drives the transmission screw 2 to rotate in the opposite direction, the transmission screw 2 drives the two transmission nuts 3 to move outward synchronously, that is, move away from each other, push the upper folding arm 4 and the lower folding arm 6 to gradually flatten, and the hinge seat 1 and the installation platform 9 steadily descend.

The top ends of the two upper folding arms 4 are hinged to the hinge seat 1, and the bottom ends of the two upper folding arms 4 are hinged to the guide pins 13 of the two transmission nuts 3 one by one. In this embodiment, a connecting base 5 and a lower folding arm 6 are not provided. The outer frame 7 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and the outer frame 7 has a cavity that passes through the top and bottom surfaces.

The motor 10 is controlled by the PLC of the production line.

[0028] When the automatic lifting device is working, the torque output by the motor 10 is transmitted to the transmission screw 2 through the bevel gear set, driving the transmission screw 2 to rotate. Since the guide pin on the transmission nut 3 is connected to the guide groove 8, the transmission nut 3 will not rotate with the transmission screw 2. The transmission nut 3 and the transmission screw 2 rotate relative to each other. The thread engagement between the transmission nut 3 and the transmission screw 2 converts the relative rotation between the two into relative axial motion. Finally, the transmission screw 2 drives the two transmission nuts 3 to move inward synchronously, that is, approach each other, push the upper folding arm 4 to gradually stand up, and the top hinge seat 1 rises steadily. On the contrary, when the motor 10 drives the transmission screw 2 to rotate in the opposite direction, the transmission screw 2 drives the two transmission nuts 3 to move outward synchronously, that is, move away from each other, push the upper folding arm 4 to gradually flatten, and the hinge seat 1 and the installation platform 9 steadily descend.

[0029] Embodiment 4:

[0030] An automatic lifting device includes a hinge seat 1, a transmission screw 2, a connecting base 5 and a support plate.
