Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0024] The technical solution of this utility model is: a lifting mechanism, as referenced. Figures 1-9 It includes a base plate assembly 10, a top plate assembly 20, and a lifting assembly 30.
[0025] The substrate assembly 10 includes a substrate body 11 and a guide sleeve 12.
[0026] Preferably, the substrate body 11 is made of high-strength carbon steel plate through precision machining, and has the characteristics of high strength, high dimensional accuracy and good form and position tolerance. The substrate body 11 is the foundation of the whole mechanism, and the other components are directly or indirectly mounted on the substrate body 11. The bottom surface of the substrate body 11 is the mechanism mounting surface, and the lifting mechanism is fixed to other equipment or devices through the mounting holes on the substrate body 11.
[0027] Preferably, the guide sleeve 12 is a standard purchased part, and the inner wall can be lubricated with graphite copper sleeve. The guide sleeve 12 is fixed on the base plate body 11 in a symmetrical and equally spaced layout of 4 sets (4 sets are selected in this embodiment), which can provide anti-overturning torque for the top plate body 21.
[0028] The top plate assembly 20 includes a top plate body 21, guide posts 22, and positioning rings 23.
[0029] Preferably, the top plate body 21 is also made of high-strength carbon steel plate and precision machined, featuring high strength, high dimensional accuracy, and good form and position tolerances. The top surface of the top plate body 21 serves as the load-bearing surface for the entire mechanism.
[0030] Preferably, the guide post 22 is made of stainless steel bar with a relatively large outer diameter, and the straightness and surface roughness of the cylindrical surface are strictly guaranteed.
[0031] Preferably, the positioning ring 23 is installed on the top surface of the top plate body 21 to position the load-bearing pallet in the horizontal plane and restrict its degree of freedom.
[0032] The lifting assembly 30 includes a hydraulic cylinder 31 and a lifting device 32. The hydraulic cylinder 31 includes a cylinder body 311, a piston rod 312, and a flange 313; the lifting device 32 includes a guide sleeve 321, a top column 322, an end cap 323, and a piston pressure plate 324.
[0033] Preferably, the hydraulic cylinder 31 is also a heavy-duty tie rod hydraulic cylinder, which can effectively increase the hydraulic oil pressure when the cylinder diameter is limited, thereby increasing the upper limit of the lifting force of the mechanism.
[0034] Preferably, the inner and outer diameters of the core components of the lifting device 32, the guide sleeve 321 and the top column 322, are precision machined, employing a clearance fit while ensuring the surface roughness of the mating surfaces, and certain lubrication measures are taken to ensure smooth sliding between the two while strictly maintaining coaxiality. Even if the load center of gravity on the top plate body 21 is not located on the axis of the top column 322, it can still provide a large anti-overturning moment to ensure that the parallelism of the top plate body 21 relative to the base plate body 11 is within the designed allowable tolerance.
[0035] The cylinder body 311 is fixed to the bottom end face of the guide sleeve 321 via the flange 313. The end cover 323 is installed on the bottom surface of the top column 322. The piston rod 312 drives the end cover 323 and the top column 322 to move horizontally within the guide sleeve 321. The function of the piston pressure plate 324 is to float and connect the piston rod 312 and the end cover 323.
[0036] The lower part of the lifting assembly 30 passes through the central cutout of the base plate body 11 and is fixed to the base plate body 11 by the flange of the guide sleeve 321. The guide posts 22 evenly distributed around the top plate assembly 20 are coaxially installed with the four guide sleeves 12 of the base plate assembly 10. The top posts 322 support the bottom surface of the top plate body 21 and drive the top plate assembly 20 to realize the lifting action of the mechanism.
[0037] In this embodiment, a lifting mechanism, when the piston rod 312 rises, synchronously drives the piston pressure plate 324, end cap 323, top column 322, and top plate assembly 20 to move upward as a whole. Through the coaxial cooperation of the guide sleeve 321 with the top column 322 and the guide sleeve 12 with the guide column 22 (a total of 4 groups of guide sleeves 12 + 1 group of guide sleeves 321), the freedom of the top plate is restricted, allowing only vertical translational lifting movements. All five groups of guide columns and guide sleeves are respectively installed on the base plate body 11 and the top plate body 21, and the relative positional accuracy is ensured by the machining dimensions of the parts, ultimately achieving accurate positioning on the horizontal plane during the lifting process of the top plate. Simultaneously, due to the clearance fit between the guide columns and guide sleeves, and the layout of the large guide sleeve in the center and four groups of small guide sleeves evenly distributed around it, the guide columns and guide sleeves can provide a large anti-overturning moment when the load center of gravity on the top plate shifts, ensuring that the parallelism of the top plate body 21 relative to the base plate body 11 is within the allowable tolerance.
[0038] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
