AI Technical Summary
Traditional screw jacks occupy a lot of space because the two drive screws are located on both sides, making it difficult for objects to pass through. Furthermore, under long-term loads, the screws are prone to excessive stress, bending, tilting, and deformation. Existing four-column screw jack frames cannot adjust the column changes in a timely manner.
The four-column screw jack design with a floating frame is adopted. By adding a spherical thrust bearing and an anti-rotation rod between the drive screw and the frame mechanism, the lifting frame can float to compensate for the effects of angle error and deformation. The lifting frame can float in multiple planes through the linkage mechanism.
It effectively reduces the impact of installation errors and deformation on the operation of the elevator, improves the smoothness of operation and passability, and reduces the angle error and deformation of the lead screw.

[0003] Traditional screw jacks typically use two screws, one of which drives the lifting frame on one side. Since the two screws are located on opposite sides to drive the lifting frame, the space between the two screws (assuming the screws are distributed left and right, then the left and right direction) is occupied by the screws and related transmission components (such as motors, couplings, and other devices used to drive the screws to rotate). Therefore, it is difficult for objects to pass through this direction occupied by the screws.
[0004] The load that the screw jack bears for a long time will cause excessive stress on the screw, resulting in bending and tilting deformation. The existing four-column screw jack frame is basically rigidly connected to the column and guide rail, and cannot be adjusted in time according to the changes of the column. Utility Model Content
