[0029] The specific use mode and effect of the embodiment are as follows:

[0030] In use, when the front landing gear of the aircraft needs to be repaired, the maintenance platform is pushed or pulled, and the platform is moved to a suitable position near the front landing gear of the aircraft by using the moving base 1 and the moving wheels 2 at the bottom of the auxiliary balance base 9. When the platform is close to the front landing gear of the aircraft, pay attention to the position of the "concave" structure of the moving base 1 corresponding to the position of the landing gear tire, so that it can better approach the landing gear. After reaching the designated position, start the support oil cylinder 3 on both sides of the moving base 1 to extend and tightly contact with the ground, increase the contact area of the platform with the ground, prevent the moving base 1 from moving, and ensure the stability of the platform during maintenance operation. Then, under the drive of the telescopic oil cylinder 8, the auxiliary balance base 9 is pushed out from the left and right sides of the moving base 1 through the scissor bracket 7. During the lifting of the working platform 4, the balance is adjusted in real time to prevent tilting. According to the actual height of the front landing gear of the aircraft, start the lifting oil cylinder 5 to finely adjust the height and levelness of the working platform 4, so as to cope with the height difference of different types of aircraft landing gears and ensure the accurate level during maintenance operation. Maintenance personnel climb the ladder 402 to board the working platform 4. After the working platform 4 is lifted, the foot trough 103 on the back wall of the moving base 1 can be used as a support point during climbing to ensure safe and convenient boarding of the platform. After the maintenance is completed, the same way is used to return to the ground safely by using the climbing ladder 402 and the foot trough 103. After the maintenance personnel board the working platform 4, they can quickly take the tools and parts needed for maintenance from the tool storage boxes 6 hung on the left and right sides of the platform, and put them back into the tool storage boxes 6 after use. Keep the working platform 4 clean and orderly. After completing the maintenance work, first lower the working platform 4 to the lowest position, then retract the support oil cylinder 3, and push or pull the maintenance platform to move it away from the maintenance site by using the moving wheels 2.

[0031] Example two:

[0032] By installing adjustable angle LED lighting fixtures on the edges of the working platform 4 and the auxiliary balance base 9, these fixtures are powered by built-in batteries or connected to the hangar power supply. When performing maintenance work, maintenance personnel can adjust the angle of the lamps according to actual needs to illuminate each maintenance part of the front landing gear of the aircraft, avoiding the influence of light on maintenance accuracy and efficiency, especially suitable for checking and repairing internal fine parts of the landing gear.
