[0008] Multiple bosses and threaded holes are formed on the upper end surface of fixed plate, and the bosses and threaded holes are distributed as multiple rows and multiple columns respectively.It is preferred that the bosses are evenly distributed as multiple rows and multiple columns.The threaded holes are relatively distributed between the two bosses adjacent to each other on the left and right.Sink hole one is formed on the upper end surface of boss, and side groove is formed at at least one pair of diagonal corner of boss.
[0009] A second counterbore is formed on the lower end surface of the movable plate and corresponds to the first counterbore, and the two ends of the spring are respectively inserted into the second counterbore and the first counterbore. Therefore, the first counterbore, the second counterbore and the number of springs are one-to-one corresponding. A convex arm is formed on the periphery of each second counterbore and corresponds to the plurality of side grooves on each boss, so that the convex arm is inserted into the side groove and forms a profile contact matching relationship with the side groove, which can guide the movable plate to move vertically relative to the fixed plate. The extension length of the convex arm in the vertical direction is less than the extension depth of the side groove in the vertical direction, so that after the movable plate is fixed directly above the fixed plate, there is always a vertical distance between the lower end of the convex arm and the bottom surface of the side groove, which can provide sufficient stroke space for the movable plate to move downward relative to the fixed plate.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 The illustrated lifting platform overload protection mechanism includes a scissor arm unit 10, a hydraulic cylinder unit 20, a supporting platform 30, a sensor unit 40 and a control unit (not shown in the figure).
[0029] The control unit contains a control module capable of controlling the operating status (start, stop, etc.) of the hydraulic cylinder unit 20, as well as a setting module and a processing module matched with the sensor unit 40. The setting module can set a warning interval (related to the load) or a warning threshold, and the processing module can analyze and process the sensor signal fed back by the sensor unit 40.
[0030] The support platform 30 includes a fixed plate 31 whose left and right ends match the upper pivot of the scissor arm unit 10, a movable plate 32 arranged on the upper part of the fixed plate 31, a plurality of springs 33 arranged between the fixed plate 31 and the movable plate 32, an elastic rubber layer 34 attached to the upper end surface of the movable plate 32, and a plurality of screws 35 connecting the fixed plate and the movable plate.
[0031] A plurality of bosses 312 and threaded holes 315 are formed on the upper end surface 311 of the fixed plate 31, and the bosses 312 and the threaded holes 315 are respectively distributed in multiple rows and multiple columns, and specifically, the bosses 312 are distributed in three rows and seven columns, and the threaded holes 315 are distributed in four rows and six columns.
[0032] Preferably, the bosses 312 are evenly distributed in multiple rows and multiple columns, so that the movable plate 32 is stably and reliably supported by the matched springs 33, and the upper end surface of the movable plate can be better ensured to be substantially horizontal and not easily inclined. The threaded holes 315 can be relatively distributed between the left and right adjacent two bosses 312, so that the threaded rods 35 matched with the threaded holes 315 can uniformly exert pressure on the movable plate 32, and the upper end surface of the movable plate 32 can be ensured to be always kept in a substantially horizontal state.
[0033] A counterbore 313 is formed on the upper end surface of the boss 312, and a side groove 314 is formed at each of the four corners of the boss 312.
[0034] A counterbore 322 corresponding to the counterbore 313 is formed on the lower end surface of the movable plate 32, and the two ends of the spring 33 are respectively inserted into the counterbores 322 and 313 on the upper and lower sides. Therefore, the number of the counterbores 313, the counterbores 322 and the springs 33 is one-to-one corresponding.
[0035] A convex arm 323 corresponding to the multiple side grooves 314 on each boss 312 is formed on the periphery of each counterbore 312, so that the convex arm 323 is inserted into the side groove 314 and forms a profile contact matching relationship with the side groove 314, and can guide the movable plate 32 to move in the vertical direction relative to the fixed plate 31.
[0036] The extension length of the convex arm 323 in the vertical direction is less than the extension depth of the side groove 314 in the vertical direction, so that after the movable plate 32 is fixed directly above the fixed plate 31, a vertical spacing can always exist / remain between the lower end surface of the convex arm 323 and the bottom surface of the side groove 314, which can provide sufficient stroke space for the movable plate 32 to move downward relative to the fixed plate 31.
[0037] The movable plate 32 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the screw rod 35, and the lower end of the rod of the screw rod 35 passes through the through hole and matches with the threaded hole 315 on the fixed plate 31, so that the fixed plate 31 and the movable plate 32 are connected as a whole, the boss 312 and the opposite surface of the movable plate 32 form a vertical spacing, and the spring 33 is kept in a compressed state. That is, after the movable plate 32 is connected above the fixed plate 31 by the screw rod 35, the spring 33 is compressed and can support the movable plate 32 suspended above the fixed plate 31. When the goods / heavy objects are placed on the upper end surface of the movable plate 32, the goods / heavy objects can press the movable plate 32 downward, so that the spring 33 is further compressed, and the vertical spacing between the lower end surface of the movable plate 32 and the upper end surface of the boss 312 is reduced.
[0038] The sensing unit 40 includes a plurality of (six in the figure) sensor bodies 41 and movable parts 42 corresponding to the plurality of sensor bodies 41 one by one.
[0039] The sensor bodies 41 are respectively arranged on the four sides of the fixed plate 31. When there is only one sensor body 41 on each side, the sensor body 41 is preferably arranged at the lengthwise or widthwise central position of each side. The movable part 42 is fixedly arranged on the side of the movable plate 32 and is located above the corresponding matched sensor body 41. The lower end of the movable part 42 matches with the sensor body 41 and can touch the sensor body 41 to generate a sensing signal.
[0040] With the utility model, as the goods on the upper end face of the movable plate 32 increase, the compression degree of the spring 33 gradually increases, the vertical distance between the lower end face of the movable plate 32 and the upper end face of the boss 312 gradually decreases, and the movable part 42 touches the sensor body 41 to change the sensing signal. After the control unit analyzes and processes the sensing signal, the amount of downward movement of the movable plate 32 can be determined according to the sensing signal, and compared with the set early warning threshold value. If the early warning threshold value is not reached, there is no overload, and if the early warning threshold value is reached, the control unit makes the control module that controls the operating state of the hydraulic cylinder unit 20 lose power, so that the hydraulic cylinder unit 20 cannot start operating. The set early warning threshold value can be multi-level, the primary early warning threshold value indicates that the actual load is close to the rated load, and the final early warning threshold value indicates that the actual load has exceeded the rated load, and at that time the control unit should issue an instruction to make the control module that controls the operating state of the hydraulic cylinder unit lose power, so that the hydraulic cylinder unit 20 cannot start operating. It should be noted that the setting of the specific early warning threshold value, the analysis and processing of the sensing signal, and the association with the early warning threshold value are all program settings and method level content. Based on the structural features of the utility model, a variety of different schemes can be used. Since it is not the focus of the technical improvement of the utility model, it should not be considered as a limitation of the protection scope of the utility model.
[0041] The number of sensor bodies 41 arranged on the lengthwise side of the fixed plate 31 is greater than the number of sensor bodies 41 arranged on the widthwise side of the fixed plate 31. As shown in the drawings, one sensor body 41 is arranged on the widthwise side of the fixed plate 31, and two sensor bodies 41 are arranged on the lengthwise side of the fixed plate 31.
[0042] On the upper end face of the fixed plate 31, three rows of square (including rectangular and square) grooves 316 are formed at the edges, and an elastic strip is fixedly embedded in each row of grooves 316.
[0043] After the movable plate 32 is connected to the upper part of the fixed plate 31, the elastic strip can be compressed between the opposite faces of the fixed plate 31 and the movable plate 32, and can seal and elastically support the opposite faces of the two plates. The elastic strip protrudes in the vertical direction and protrudes upward by a certain height relative to the upper end face of the edge position of the fixed plate 31. When the movable plate 32 is compressed by the weight of the goods and moves downward relative to the fixed plate 31, the elastic strip can be compressed and deformed, and the deformation amount can increase with the increase of the stroke amount of the downward movement of the movable plate 32.
[0044] A third countersunk hole 324 capable of accommodating the nut portion of the screw 35 can be formed at the upper end of the through hole provided on the movable plate 32 and matching the screw 35. The elastic rubber layer can cover the third countersunk hole 324 and the nut of the screw 35.
[0045] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention is susceptible to numerous improvements without departing from the overall concept. Those skilled in the art will appreciate the potential for modification or alteration of the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
