Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aerial work, in particular to a self-leveling device for an aerial work platform. Background Art

[0002] Aerial work machinery is generally equipped with a manned work platform or functional attachments. During operation, as the boom varies in amplitude, the manned work platform or functional attachments are always required to remain horizontal with the ground, or in other words, regardless of how the boom angle changes, the angle of the manned work platform or functional attachments relative to the ground always remains unchanged. This requires a leveling mechanism or system that can follow and adjust the angle of the manned work platform or functional attachments according to the change of the boom angle. The existing self-leveling devices for aerial work platforms generally use a parallelogram four-link structure for leveling. However, the defect of this structure is that its load capacity is less than 200 - 400 KG. Therefore, a self-leveling device for an aerial work platform with a high load capacity and high stability, which can meet a load of five tons, is designed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] (1) Technical Problems to be Solved

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a self-leveling device for an aerial work platform, which has a high load capacity and high stability and can meet a load of five tons.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: A self-leveling device for an aerial work platform, including a lifting equipment boom, a work platform base, and a self-leveling device arranged between the lifting equipment boom and the work platform base. The self-leveling device includes a driving cylinder, a connecting rod one, a connecting rod two, and a connecting rod three. Two ends of the driving cylinder are respectively hinged to the top of the lifting equipment boom and the middle of the connecting rod one. One end of the connecting rod one is hinged to the lifting equipment boom, the other end of the connecting rod one is hinged to one end of the connecting rod two, the other end of the connecting rod two is hinged to the bottom of the connecting rod three, the top of the connecting rod three is hinged to the lifting equipment boom, and the connecting rod three is fixedly installed on the work platform base.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting rod one is arranged in an arc shape and can surround the hinge joint between the connecting rod three and the lifting equipment boom.

[0008] Preferably, the driving cylinder and the lifting equipment boom are hinged through a hinge shaft six, and the driving cylinder and the connecting rod one are hinged through a hinge shaft three.

[0009] Preferably, both sides of the connecting rod two are respectively hinged to the connecting rod one and the connecting rod three through a hinge shaft two and a hinge shaft five.

[0010] Preferably, the boom of the lifting equipment is hinged to the third connecting rod through the fourth hinge shaft, and the first connecting rod surrounds the outside of the fourth hinge shaft.

[0011] (III) Advantageous Effects

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model provides a self-leveling device for an aerial work platform, which has the following advantageous effects:

[0013] In the self-leveling device for the aerial work platform, through the various cooperations among the driving cylinder, the first connecting rod, the second connecting rod and the third connecting rod, as well as the cooperation with the boom of the lifting equipment and the base of the work platform, when the inclination angle of the boom of the lifting equipment becomes larger, that is, when the boom of the lifting equipment is lifted upwards, the boom of the lifting equipment has a tendency to tilt backwards. During the process of the increase of the inclination angle of the boom of the lifting equipment, the driving cylinder can be synchronously shortened, so that the angle of the third connecting rod changes in the opposite direction, so that the boom of the lifting equipment always remains horizontal. When the inclination angle of the boom of the lifting equipment becomes smaller, the driving cylinder can be synchronously extended, so that the angle of the third connecting rod changes in the opposite direction, so that the boom of the lifting equipment always remains horizontal. This structure is simple, has a high load capacity, and has high stability, and can meet a load of five tons. Therefore, the self-leveling device for the aerial work platform has a high load capacity and high stability and can meet a load of five tons. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
