At the same time, it is found that in the connecting process of the levers on both sides of the camber surface, the traditional joint below will jam the lever, limiting the angle between the device and the lever to 0-10°, which cannot effectively adapt to the camber loading.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application. The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0018] The first aspect of the present application provides a new height-adjustable and direction-adjustable lever connecting device, as Figure 1As shown, it mainly includes a fixed base 1, a single-ear connector 2, and a ball-head connecting rod 3. The fixed base 1 is provided with a threaded hole. One end of the single-ear connector 2 has a screw that matches the threaded hole. The other end of the single-ear connector 2 has a ball socket through hole. The ball-head connecting rod 3 has a ball head structure in the middle, which is connected to the ball head of the single-ear connector 2 at the ball socket through hole.

[0019] This application connects the fixed base 1 to the upper-level lever, and the fixed base 1 and the single-ear connector 2 are threaded together. The GEG12C ball head is installed in the central ball socket through hole of the single-ear connector 2. The two ends of the GEG12C ball head form a connecting rod structure that connects to the lower-level lever, namely the ball head connecting rod 3.

[0020] This application has the advantages of adjustable height, adjustable direction, and adjustable angle. (See reference...) Figure 2 and Figure 3 The height is adjusted by adjusting the depth of the single-ear connector 2 in the fixed base 1 to accommodate different lever-lever connection heights. The direction is adjusted by adjusting the orientation of the single-ear connector 2 in the fixed base 1 to accommodate different lever-lever connection directions; the adjustable direction range is 0° to 180°. The load application angle is adjusted by adjusting the angle between the single-ear connector 2 and the lever. Figure 3 The angle between the vertical plane of the paper and the angle between the two sides is adjusted by using lever-lever connections with different curved surfaces to avoid the jamming problem of traditional joints. The angle is adjustable from 45° to 90°.

[0021] In some alternative embodiments, the fixing base 1 is a cylindrical structure, and the threaded hole is located at the center of the cylindrical structure. In this embodiment, both the center of the fixing base 1 and the lower end of the single-ear connector are M16 threads, and are connected by threaded connection.

[0022] In some alternative embodiments, the fixed base 1 also has a plurality of mounting holes surrounding the threaded hole for mounting the fixed base 1 onto the lever structure. In this embodiment, the fixed base 1 is typically connected to the center of gravity of the lever arm on the upper surface of the upper stage lever by bolts.

[0023] In some alternative embodiments, the single-ear connector 2 has a reinforcing flange 21 between the ear plate and the screw. This embodiment is used to improve the strength of the single-ear connector 2.

[0024] In some alternative embodiments, the ball joint 3 has threads at both ends, which are adapted to be fitted with nuts for connection to another lever structure.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 , on a curved surface structure, the load is applied from top to bottom. The lever connection device 100 is used on the first lever A 200, and another lever connection device 100 is used on the second lever B 300. Rotate the two lever connection devices 100 to the same plane and assemble them to the force arm center hole position of the second lever 400 respectively. The height of the two lever connection devices 100 can be adjusted to adapt the second lever 400 to the higher level assembly.

[0027] The principle of the lever system is described as follows:

[0028] a) The direction of the force applied on both sides is to apply load obliquely downward along the lever connection device 100;

[0029] b) The fixed base part of the two lever connection devices 100 is fixed on the first lever A 200 and the first lever B 300 respectively through bolts;

[0030] c) The single ear joint of the lever connection device 100 is fixed through threads and fixed base;

[0031] d) When the distance of the connection device is the smallest, that is, L1 and L2 respectively, the length of the force arm is L3 and L4;

[0032] e) When the lever force arm is changed to L3' and L4', the height of the lever connection device 100 can be adjusted to adapt to the assembly;

[0033] f) Only change the installation height, the load application direction remains unchanged.

[0034] g) The installation height of the connection device is adjustable. The installation direction ranges from 0° to 180°. The installation angle ranges from 45° to 90°. The installation height, installation direction and installation angle can be adjusted to adapt to the lever assembly of different curved surfaces.
