[0022] Furthermore, the three-dimensional mobile lifting mechanism 1 includes: a second motor 13, a third motor 21, a first electric cylinder 15, and a second electric cylinder 18.

The second mobile support plate 19 is fixedly connected to the first electric cylinder 15 on the side, the first electric cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the first rack 16 on the moving end, the first rack 16 is meshed and connected with the first gear shaft 17, the first gear shaft 17 is fixedly connected to the second electric cylinder 18 on the side, and the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder 18 is fixedly connected to the road cone grabbing mechanism. The movement in the Z direction is achieved by the second motor 13 driving the first lead screw 14, the output end of the second motor 13 is connected to one end of the first lead screw 14, and the first lead screw 14 is rotatably connected to the first mobile support plate 11. The movement in the X direction is achieved by the output end of the third motor 21 driving the second lead screw 20 through a coupling.
