[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to realize the installation of the positioning device body 2 on the I-shaped guide rail 1, a fixing plate 11 is welded on the I-shaped guide rail 1, and the fixing plate 11 and the web of the I-shaped guide rail 1 are perpendicular to each other. The positioning device body 2 can be connected through the fixing plate 11 and the web of the I-shaped guide rail 1, so that the positioning device body 2 can be installed and fixed in two directions, and the connection is reliable.

[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning device body 2 includes a roller stopper 21 and a stopper pin 22. The stopper pin 22 is connected to the roller stopper 21 by welding. The axis of the stopper pin 22 is perpendicular to the side wall of the roller stopper 21. An arc groove 23 is processed at one end of the roller stopper 21 in the length direction. The roller stopper 21 is processed with a first threaded hole 24 at the end opposite to the arc groove 23. A second threaded hole 25 is processed on the side wall of the roller stopper 21 where the stopper pin 22 is located. The first threaded hole 24 and the second threaded hole 25 are used for connecting and fixing the roller stopper 21 on the I-shaped guide rail 1.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the rear support arm assembly includes a rear support arm body 31, a rear support arm bent plate 32 and a rear support arm roller 33. The rear support arm bent plate 32 is welded to one end of the rear support arm body 31, and the other end of the rear support arm body 31 is hinged to the lifting arm (not shown in the figure). The rear support arm roller 33 is bolted to the rear support arm bent plate 32, and the rear support arm roller 33 is slidably matched with the I-shaped guide rail 1. A notch 34 is processed on the rear support arm bent plate 32, and the notch 34 extends to the side of the rear support arm bent plate 32, so that the notch 34 forms a structural form with one end open.

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, in order to facilitate the installation of the positioning device body 2 on the I-shaped guide rail 1, a through hole 12 is processed on the fixing plate 11, and the through hole 12 is adapted to the first threaded hole 24.
