In this way, the support of the tank body 1 and the driving stability are ensured by supporting the two sides of the two gear racks 31.
[0035] In addition, the lifting assembly 4 in the embodiment of the utility model includes a plurality of threaded columns 41 fixed on the bracket 1, and wing plates 51 are fixed on both sides of the bracket 5, and the wing plates 51 are penetrated by the threaded columns 41, wherein two nuts 42 are threadedly connected to the threaded columns 41, and the two nuts 42 are respectively clamped on both sides of the wing plates 51.
