It should be understood that the specific implementation manners described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0026] Combined with Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a leveling device applicable to high-altitude operations includes a boom 10, a leveling oil cylinder 5, a first sprocket 2, a second sprocket 3, a roller chain 4, a platform swing frame 1, and a working platform 9;

[0027] As Figure 5 shown, the platform swing frame 1 is formed by connecting a horizontal plate 102 and a vertical inclined plate 101; the axis of the vertical inclined plate 101 is inclined to the axis of the horizontal plate 102; the structure of the platform swing frame 1 enables the boom 10 to be above the working platform 9; one end of the platform swing frame 1 is provided with a connecting shaft 6, and the connecting shaft 6 is connected to the working platform 9, and the other end of the platform swing frame 1 is fixedly connected to the first sprocket 2; a support frame 11 is provided below the horizontal plate 102, and the support frame 11 can make the connection between the platform swing frame 1 and the connecting shaft 6 more stable.

[0028] As Figure 1 shown, the first sprocket 2 is drivingly connected to the second sprocket 3 through the roller chain 4; the leveling oil cylinder 5, the second sprocket 3, and the roller chain 4 are arranged inside the boom 10; the leveling oil cylinder 5 includes a cylinder barrel and a piston rod, one end of the cylinder barrel of the leveling oil cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the boom 10, and one end of the piston rod of the leveling oil cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the roller chain 4.

[0029] Specifically, the leveling device further includes a swing oil cylinder 8, the swing oil cylinder 8 is arranged outside the working platform 9, and the movable end of the swing oil cylinder 8 is movably connected to the connecting shaft 6. A connecting component 601 is arranged at the bottom of the connecting shaft 6, and is hinged to the swing oil cylinder 8 through the connecting component 601, and the swing oil cylinder 8 can drive the working platform 9 to swing left and right.

[0030] Specifically, as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, the connecting shaft 6 and the working platform 9 are rotatably connected by a pin shaft 7. The connecting shaft 6 is provided with axial holes, and the axial holes are assembled with the upper and lower mounting flanges on the working platform 9 through the pin shaft 7.

[0031] Specifically, the number of the first sprockets 2, the second sprockets 3, and the roller chains 4 is two each. The two first sprockets 2 are axially connected, and the two second sprockets 3 are axially connected. The two sets of transmission sprockets and the roller chain 4 make the connection between the connecting shaft 6 and the leveling cylinder 5 more stable and the transmission more smooth. As Figure 7 shown in the figure, the piston rod of the leveling cylinder 5 is fixed to one end of the connecting plate 12 through screws 14 and nuts 13, and the other end of the connecting plate 12 is fixed to the two roller chains 4.

[0032] Specifically, a sprocket housing is arranged outside the first sprocket 2, and the sprocket housing is connected to the boom 10. In this way, an integral structure can be formed, so that the transmission device of the present utility model is arranged inside and does not directly contact the external environment, which can reduce the maintenance frequency, avoid rusting due to the erosion of rainwater and sand and dust, and thus improve the accuracy and service life of the leveling device.

[0033] Specifically, the leveling device further includes an angle sensor and a controller. The angle sensor is arranged on the working platform 9, the angle sensor is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the leveling cylinder 5. The angle data between the working platform 9 and the horizontal ground detected by the angle sensor is calculated by the controller to obtain the required rotation angle, and then the controller drives the leveling cylinder 5 to perform telescopic movement to achieve the purpose of leveling the working platform 9.

[0034] Specifically, the diameter of the first sprocket 2 is larger than that of the second sprocket 3. The first sprocket 2 is a component for driving the working platform 9, and the large diameter of the first sprocket 2 is beneficial to the large-scale leveling of the working platform 9, while the space inside the boom 10 for the second sprocket 3 is small, and the transmission range of the second sprocket 3 is small to adapt to the narrow space.

[0035] Another object of the present utility model is to provide a fire truck, and the fire truck includes the above leveling device.

[0036] Figure 2 In the figure, A, B, and C are three hinge points. Through these three hinge points, the second sprocket 3, the roller chain 4, and the leveling cylinder 5 are installed inside the boom 10. The three hinge points A, B, and C can penetrate the pin shaft 7 and the shaft retainer, and adjustment pads are added for adjustment.

[0037] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown in the figure, after the leveling cylinder 5, the first sprocket 2, the second sprocket 3, and the roller chain 4 are installed in the boom 10, the mounting openings on the boom 10 are sealed with the first cover plate 15 and the second cover plate 16 to reduce the erosion of rainwater on the inside of the boom 10.

[0038] One end of the cylinder barrel of the leveling oil cylinder 5 is fixed on the boom 10, and the other end piston rod of the leveling oil cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the roller chain 4. During operation, according to the angle data detected by the angle sensor between the working platform 9 and the horizontal ground, the angle that the working platform 9 needs to be adjusted is obtained, so as to calculate the distance that the roller chain 4 moves linearly, and then the leveling oil cylinder 5 is driven to perform telescopic movement. The telescopic movement of the piston rod can make the roller chain 4 move linearly, and the linear movement of the roller chain 4 can make the first sprocket 2 and the second sprocket 3 rotate, so as to perform angle adjustment and drive the working platform 9 to be adjusted, thus completing a cycle of leveling action and making the working platform 9 in a state parallel to the ground. The working platform 9 is kept parallel to the ground so that the staff can operate accurately and the rescued personnel can reach the ground safely.

[0039] The leveling oil cylinder 5, the roller chain 4 and the second sprocket 3 of this leveling device are all arranged inside the boom 10. The first sprocket 2 is assembled with the boom 10 into an integral structure through the outer shell. This structure not only saves space, but also the roller chain 4 is arranged inside the boom 10, which can reduce its maintenance frequency and avoid rusting due to the erosion of rainwater and sand and dust, thereby improving the accuracy and service life of the leveling device.

[0040] This utility model adopts a transmission method of matching the roller chain 4 with the sprocket. Compared with the traditional transmission methods such as gears and belts, the transmission method of this utility model has higher reliability and stability. In a complex and changeable working environment, the transmission of this utility model can maintain the smoothness and continuity of power output, so as to ensure that the leveling device can accurately and quickly complete the leveling task.
