The rotating shaft 803 is located inside the cavity 801, which is located at the center of the mounting box 7. The rotating shaft 803 is rotatably connected inside the mounting box 7. The mounting box 7 has a first through hole and a second through hole on both sides. The chain inside the lifting chain unit 6 is slidably connected inside the first through hole and the second through hole. The air supply frame 809 and the cleaning block 811 are on the same axis as the first through hole, and the air supply frame 809 and the cleaning block 811 are sleeved on the outside of the chain inside the lifting chain unit 6.

The inner mast 2 is slidably connected inside the outer mast 1. The air bag 807 is connected to an air inlet pipe on one side. One-way valves are provided on both the air inlet pipe and the air supply pipe 808.

[0034] Detailed Implementation: First, connect the outer mast 1 to an external forklift. The external forklift then moves the outer mast 1, causing the lifting hydraulic cylinder 4 to move the lifting chain unit 6 upwards via the connecting seat 5. The lifting chain unit 6, through its internal chain, moves the forks on one side of the outer mast 1 upwards. At this time, the cleaning block 811 cleans the chain during the movement, ensuring smooth chain operation during lifting and lowering, reducing malfunctions and downtime caused by chain problems, and effectively improving the forklift's performance. To ensure smooth operation and long-term reliability of the gantry, the drive motor 802 is activated as needed. The drive motor 802 drives the rotating shaft 803 and cam 804 to rotate. During the rotation, the cam 804 compresses the first slide plate 805, the first spring 806, and the airbag 807, and delivers the gas inside the airbag 807 to the air supply frame 809 through the air supply pipe 808. Then, the gas is sprayed onto the surface of the chain and the cleaning block 811 through multiple air outlets 810, further improving the cleaning effect of the product on the chain.

[0035] The lubrication assembly 9 includes a second slide plate 901, which is slidably connected inside the mounting box 7. An oil bladder 902 is fixedly connected to one side of the second slide plate 901. The side of the oil bladder 902 away from the second slide plate 901 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 7. An oil supply pipe 904 is connected to one side of the oil bladder 902. An oil outlet frame 905 is connected to the other end of the oil supply pipe 904.

The oil outlet frame 905 and the second through hole are on the same axis, and the oil outlet frame 905 is sleeved on the outside of the chain inside the lifting chain unit 6.

[0036] Detailed implementation: During rotation, the cam 804 simultaneously compresses the second slide plate 901, the oil bladder 902, and the second spring 903, delivering the lubricating oil inside the oil bladder 902 to the oil outlet frame 905 through the oil supply pipe 904. Then, it is evenly sprayed onto the chain surface through the oil spray nozzle 906 to improve the chain's lubrication performance, reduce wear between the chain and sprocket, thereby increasing the chain's service life and enhancing the product's high resistance and reliability during use.

[0037] Working principle: In use, first connect the outer mast 1 to an external forklift. The external forklift moves the outer mast 1, and the lifting hydraulic cylinder 4 drives the lifting chain unit 6 upward through the connecting seat 5. The lifting chain unit 6 then drives the forks on one side of the outer mast 1 upward through its internal chain. At this time, the cleaning block 811 cleans the chain during the movement. As needed, the drive motor 802 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 803 and the cam 804 to rotate. During the rotation, the cam 804 cleans the chain. A slide plate 805, a first spring 806, and an air bladder 807 are compressed, and the gas inside the air bladder 807 is transported to the air supply frame 809 through the air supply pipe 808. Then, it is sprayed onto the surface of the chain and the cleaning block 811 through multiple air outlets 810. During the rotation of the cam 804, the second slide plate 901, the oil bladder 902, and the second spring 903 are compressed simultaneously, and the lubricating oil inside the oil bladder 902 is transported to the oil outlet frame 905 through the oil supply pipe 904. Then, it is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the chain through the oil spray nozzle 906 to improve the service life of the chain.
