All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5 This utility model provides two technical solutions, specifically including the following embodiments: Embodiment 1

[0026] An automatic leveling device includes a moving platform 1. An automatic leveling mechanism 2 is provided on the top of the moving platform 1. The automatic leveling mechanism 2 includes a limit support 201, a first rotating shaft 202, a second rotating shaft 209, a first limiting member 208, a support rod 204, an electric lifting rod 205, a PLC controller 206, an inclination sensor 207 and a universal ball 210. A processing table 4 is provided on the top of the moving platform 1. Inclination sensors 207 are arranged at the four corners of the bottom end of the processing table 4. A PLC controller 206 is arranged on one side of the bottom end of the processing table 4. The specific model of the PLC controller 206 is SIMATIC S7-1200, and the specific model of the inclination sensor 207 is TMM88, with a measurement range of ±60°. A plurality of first limiting members 208 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the processing table 4. The inner walls of the plurality of first limiting members 208 are rotatably connected to the first rotating shafts 202. The output ends of the plurality of electric lifting rods 205 are fixedly connected to second limiting members 203. The inner walls of the plurality of second limiting members 203 are rotatably connected to the second rotating shafts 209. The PLC controller 206 is electrically connected to the plurality of inclination sensors 207. The plurality of electric lifting rods 205 are all fixedly connected to the bottom end of the moving platform 1. The output ends of the plurality of electric lifting rods 205 all penetrate through the top end of the moving platform 1. A plurality of limit supports 201 are fixedly connected to the top end of the moving platform 1. The output ends of the plurality of electric lifting rods 205 respectively penetrate through the plurality of limit supports 201 and are respectively slidably connected to the plurality of limit supports 201. The limit supports 201 can increase the stability of the output ends of the electric lifting rods 205. The bottom ends of the plurality of first rotating shafts 202 are respectively fixedly connected to the top ends of the plurality of second rotating shafts 209. Two support rods 204 are fixedly connected to the top end of the moving platform 1. Two universal balls 210 are fixedly connected to the top ends of the two support rods 204. The top ends of the two universal balls 210 are rotatably connected to the bottom end of the processing table 4. The support rods 204 and the universal balls 210 can increase the stability of the processing table 4. The universal balls 210 can adapt to different angles of the processing table 4 to keep it flat.

[0027] During operation, when the processing table 4 tilts, the tilt sensors 207 at the four corners will real-time monitor the tilt degrees at their respective positions and transmit the measured data to the PLC controller 206. The PLC controller 206 calculates the height to be adjusted based on the received tilt data and sends instructions to the corresponding electric lifting rods 205. The electric lifting rods 205 move up and down according to the PLC instructions. Through the cooperation of the first rotating shaft 202 and the first limiting member 208 with the second rotating shaft 209 and the second limiting member 203, the flexibility of the automatic leveling mechanism 2 is effectively increased, avoiding the limitations in traditional limiting designs. Subsequently, the corresponding parts of the processing table 4 can be driven to adjust their positions until the readings of all tilt sensors 207 are in a horizontal state. The design of the support rods 204 and the universal balls 210 provides a stable support effect for the processing table 4, effectively absorbing and dispersing external forces during the leveling process, keeping the processing table 4 in a stable state. This not only improves the adaptability and stability of the equipment but also ensures the operation accuracy of the processing table 4 under various load conditions, effectively enhancing the overall performance and reliability of the automatic leveling device.
