[0042] The lifting assembly forms rolling contact with the track 51 and the fixed fork arm 2 respectively; the lifting assembly comprises a horizontally arranged wheel shaft 43, on which a lifting roller 41 and a track wheel 42 are rotatably sleeved; the lifting roller 41 abuts against the fixed fork arm 2, and the track wheel 42 abuts against the track 51;

[0043] A driving assembly connected to the axle 43 of the lifting assembly; the driving assembly is configured to: apply a pulling force to the axle 43 to move the track wheel 42 along the track 51, thereby causing the lifting roller 41 to push the fixed fork arm 2 to rotate around the fixed fulcrum 13 to lift the support platform 11;

[0044] When the support platform 11 descends, the track wheel 42 is pushed to move in the opposite direction along the track 51 under the action of gravity, and the driving cylinder 4 applies a pulling force to the wheel shaft 43 to control the descending speed of the support platform 11 .

[0045] As an embodiment, the driving assembly of the utility model is a driving cylinder 4; the cylinder body of the driving cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the base body 1, and can also be rotatably connected and fixed to a support on the ground.

[0055] Then we can know that L 顶 Always greater than L 物 .

[0056] Unlike the prior art with a small force arm, the utility model has a large force arm and is a labor-saving structure. 顶 , to achieve the lifting of larger loads.

[0058] In the initial state of the lifting action, the height of the support platform 11 is the lowest. 顶 maximum,

[0059] See also Figure 4 , the force exerted by the drive cylinder 4 on the wheel shaft 43 is recorded as: F 驱 ;

[0060] The lifting thrust exerted by the wheel shaft 43 on the fixed fork arm 2 through the lifting roller 41 is recorded as: F 顶 ;

[0061] The reaction force exerted by the fixed fork arm 2 on the wheel axle 43 is recorded as: F 压 ; It is easy to know F 压 =F 顶 ;

[0062] The reaction force of the track 51 on the track wheel 42 is recorded as: F 反 ;

[0063] It can be learned that: F 驱 With F 反 The combined force forms F 顶 ; and at any time, F 驱 、F 反 and F 压 The three must be balanced.

[0064] At any time during the lifting process, F 顶 The value of F 驱 With F 反 The angle between the two determines the F 驱 The value of also determines the output load of the drive component.

[0068] The utility model provides various embodiments of the track 51 shape structure for different purposes:

[0069] See also Figure 5 As an embodiment of the track 51 structure, the track 51 is an arc-shaped structure; F 驱 With F 反 The angle is smaller, and the F 驱 Value, even F 驱 <F 顶 .

[0070] Moreover, during the lifting process of the arc, F 驱 With F 反 The angle of F 驱 The fluctuation range is small. Under the premise of certain load, a smaller drive cylinder 4 can be adapted to reduce equipment cost and energy consumption.

[0071] See also Figure 6 As an embodiment of the track 51 structure, the track 51 has a horizontal section 52 at the top; in this section, F 反 The direction is vertical, F 驱 With F 反 The angle between F 驱 <F 顶 , reducing the required output load of the drive cylinder 4. At the same time, it is beneficial for the drive cylinder 4 to maintain the jacking posture, making it convenient for the lift to carry out the transportation operation of loading and unloading goods in this state.

[0072] See also Figure 7 As an embodiment of the track 51 structure, the track 51 is an inclined straight structure; when the horizontal stroke of the track wheel 42 is the same, the vertical stroke can be increased. It is suitable for situations where the lifting range is large.

When the support platform 11 is lifted, the energy storage spring 12 releases elastic energy to provide a vertical lifting force to reduce F 顶 The initial value of reduces the load on the drive cylinder 4.

[0076] Preferably, there are four energy storage springs 12 , which are respectively arranged at the four vertices of the seat body 1 .

[0077] Optionally, four supporting feet 14 are provided at the bottom of the base body 1 ; the height of the supporting feet 14 is adjustable, so as to facilitate adjusting the levelness of the supporting platform 11 .

[0078] Optionally, the rail seat 5 is fixed on the seat body 1 to facilitate the overall transportation of the equipment.
