The lead screw 3 can rotate under the drive of the motor 4, and the observation deck 7 can move back and forth along the sliding groove under the drive of the motor 4. In operation, the observation platform 7 is initially in its lowest position, facilitating easy access for personnel. Once a person stands on the platform, the motor 4 drives the lead screw 3 to rotate, thus raising the platform. The height of the platform can be adjusted according to the person's height and viewing needs. After viewing, the platform descends to its lowest position, allowing the person to dismount. In the event of a power outage or other uncontrolled descent, the buffer mechanism 6 provides cushioning for the slide 5, reducing the impact upon bottoming out. Compared to a fixed observation platform, the platform's height can be adjusted as needed, offering the advantage of adjustable viewing height.

[0026] Optionally in this embodiment, the top end of the connecting seat 2 is provided with a first connecting hole, and the first bearing is disposed in the first connecting hole. The bottom end of the connecting seat 2 is provided with a second connecting hole, and the second bearing is disposed in the second connecting hole. The top end of the lead screw 3 is connected to the inner ring of the first bearing, and the bottom end of the lead screw 3 is connected to the inner ring of the second bearing. The motor 4 is fixed to the top of the connecting seat 2, and the rotation shaft of the motor 4 is coaxially connected to the top end of the lead screw 3.

[0027] Optionally in this embodiment, the base 1 is provided with a drive mechanism and a counterweight. The drive mechanism is electrically connected to the motor 4, and a controller is also electrically connected to the drive mechanism. The controller is provided with buttons for controlling the rise, fall and stop of the viewing platform 7.
