An upper connecting plate is provided on the left end face of the storage box, and a lower connecting plate is provided on the right end face of the storage box. Both the upper and lower connecting plates have through holes. Adjacent upper and lower connecting plates are connected by pins. An anti-collision mechanism is fixed to the front end face of the base plate. The anti-collision mechanism includes a mounting base, and a left guide seat is fixed to the top end face of the mounting base by screws. A right guide seat is fixed with screws. The left and right guide seats are symmetrical about the vertical center line of the mounting base. A collision-resistant beam is slidably connected between the left and right guide seats. Mounting seat one and mounting seat two are fixed inside the collision-resistant beam. Mounting seat one and mounting seat two are symmetrical about the vertical center line of the collision-resistant beam. The left guide seat is slidably connected to guide seat shaft one and guide seat shaft two. A connecting sheet one is movably connected to guide seat shaft one, and a connecting sheet two is movably connected to guide seat shaft two.

A guide seat five is slidably connected to the right guide seat, and a guide seat shaft six is slidably connected to the right guide seat. A connecting sheet seven is movably connected to the guide seat shaft five, and a connecting sheet eight is movably connected to the guide seat shaft six. Linking sheet seven is hinged to linking sheet eight; linking sheet seven is hinged to linking sheet nine; linking sheet eight is hinged to linking sheet ten; linking sheet nine is hinged to linking sheet ten; mounting base two is slidably connected to guide seat shaft seven; linking sheet eleven is movably connected to guide seat shaft seven; mounting base two is slidably connected to guide seat shaft eight; linking sheet twelve is movably connected to guide seat shaft eight; linking sheet ten is hinged to linking sheet eleven; linking sheet nine is hinged to linking sheet twelve; a tension spring mounting shaft three is movably connected through the hinge positions of linking sheets nine and twelve; a tension spring mounting shaft four is movably connected through the hinge positions of linking sheets ten and eleven; and tension spring mounting shafts three and four are connected by a tension spring.Limit switch one and limit switch two are fixed to one end face of the anti-collision beam. Limit switches one and two are symmetrical about the vertical center line of the anti-collision beam. Limit switch mounting plates are fixed to the bottom of limit switches one and two, and these mounting plates are fixed to the front end face of the base plate.
[0006] Furthermore, a supporting mesh plate is fixed to the top end face of the base plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the guardrail is hinged with a guardrail gate, the guardrail is fixed with a locking pin, the guardrail gate is fixed with a locking hole, the locking hole is slidably connected to a bolt, and the bolt passes into the locking pin to lock the guardrail gate onto the guardrail.
[0008] Furthermore, the guardrail is fixed with a baffle, and bearing seats are fixed at the left and right ends of the guardrail respectively.

[0009] Beneficial effects: The front end face of the base plate of this utility model is fixed with an anti-collision mechanism. When the anti-collision mechanism collides with an external object, the movement of the anti-collision beam will trigger limit switches one and two, causing the equipment to stop running. When the anti-collision beam retracts, connecting plates six, seven, nine, and ten fold, causing the tension spring to stretch. When the work platform moves away from the impact of the external object, connecting plates six, seven, nine, and ten unfold under the tension of the tension spring, causing the anti-collision beam to reset. The anti-collision beam can prevent damage to the wall. The triggering of limit switches one and two ensures that the equipment stops damage in time. The tension spring stretches under force, reducing the impact force on the anti-collision beam. The tension spring retracts by its own tension, causing the anti-collision beam to reset.

[0025] Working principle: When working on the roof of a high-speed railway station, construction workers can install the number of storage box mechanisms 7 on the guardrail 2 according to actual needs. An upper connecting plate 704 is fixed to the left end face of the storage box 701, and a lower connecting plate 705 is fixed to the right end face of the storage box 701. Pins pass through the through holes in the upper connecting plate 704 and the lower connecting plate 705 respectively to complete the connection between adjacent storage box mechanisms 7. The storage box 701 of the storage box mechanism 7 is used to load the tools needed by the construction workers. 1. A hook slide rail 702 is provided at the bottom. The hook slide rail 702 can ensure that the storage box 701 is mounted on the guardrail 2. The hook slide rail 702 is rotatably connected to the slide wheel 703. The slide wheel 703 can rotate within the hook slide rail 702. The slide wheel 703 contacts the guardrail 2 to ensure that the storage box 701 can move flexibly on the guardrail 2. When the work platform is raised to the designated position, the construction personnel can allocate the storage box mechanism 7 as needed, which greatly improves the work efficiency of the construction personnel.
[0026] When the work platform accidentally collides with a foreign object, the object first impacts the anti-collision beam 1504, causing the anti-collision beam 1504 to retract and move towards the mounting base 1501. Limit switches 1-1505 and 1-2-1506 are fixed to the anti-collision beam 1504. When limit switches 1-1505 and 1-2-1506 are activated, the equipment stops operating. When the anti-collision beam 1504 retracts, connecting plates 1-1510, 1-21, 1-31, and 1-41... Thin sheet 4 (1513), connecting thin sheet 5 (1514), connecting thin sheet 6 (1515) fold and retract; connecting thin sheet 7 (1526), connecting thin sheet 8 (1527), connecting thin sheet 9 (1528), connecting thin sheet 10 (1529), connecting thin sheet 11 (1530), connecting thin sheet 12 (1531) fold and retract; connecting thin sheet 6 (1515), connecting thin sheet 7 (1526), connecting thin sheet 9 (1528), connecting thin sheet 10 (1529) folding causes tension spring 1520 to extend. When the work platform moves away and impacts the external object, connecting thin sheet 6 (1515)... 515, Linking sheet 7 1526, Linking sheet 9 1528, and Linking sheet 10 1529 unfold under the action of tension spring 1520. The opening of Linking sheet 6 1515, Linking sheet 7 1526, Linking sheet 9 1528, and Linking sheet 10 1529 causes Linking sheet 1 1510, Linking sheet 2 1511, Linking sheet 3 1512, Linking sheet 4 1513, Linking sheet 5 1514, Linking sheet 6 1515, Linking sheet 7 1526, and Linking sheet 8 152 7. Connecting thin plates 9 (1528), 10 (1529), 11 (1530), and 12 (1531) unfold, causing the anti-collision beam 1504 to move away from the mounting base 1501 and reset. The anti-collision beam 1504 can prevent damage to the wall. Limit switches 1 and 2 are activated to ensure timely damage prevention. The tension spring 1520 is stretched to reduce the impact force on the anti-collision beam 1504. The tension spring 1520 retracts by its own tension, causing the anti-collision beam 1504 to reset.
