Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a lifting mechanism, specifically a scissor lift mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the lifting mechanisms in the industry have the following problems: Since marine lifting platforms generally have large loads and are usually equipped with guide rails, the lifting platform needs to be close to the cabin and occupy a large space, requiring many interfaces and having high requirements for cabin layout. Therefore, there is a lack of a lifting device that can adapt to the swaying of the ship and has high adaptability to the installation position.
[0003] Currently, scissor lifts are widely used in land-based aerial work operations. Their relatively stable operating environment makes them well-suited for land-based tasks. However, their application in marine lifting systems is relatively limited. This is primarily because the hull is prone to swaying in a marine environment, where scissor lifts perform poorly. In contrast, most marine lifting systems utilize wire rope traction, but this type is generally used for applications requiring higher lifting heights or larger loads. Therefore, a novel scissor lift mechanism and its operating method are needed to address the challenges of ship swaying and lower lifting heights. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This utility model provides a scissor lift mechanism and its operating method, which can meet the needs of stable transport operations in a ship environment when the lift mechanism is located in the middle of the cabin and there is no fixed mounting base on the surrounding bulkhead, thereby reducing risks.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is: a scissor lift mechanism, comprising a lift mechanism body, a drive device, a locking device, and an anti-sway guide device. The drive device is located inside the lift mechanism body, the locking device is connected to the lift mechanism body via a pin, and the anti-sway guide device is connected between the upper platform and the lower platform of the lift mechanism body.
[0006] Furthermore, the main body of the lowering mechanism includes an upper platform, a support frame, a pin shaft, a lower platform, rollers, and a limit block. The support frame is connected to the upper and lower platforms via the pin shaft, and the rollers are connected to the support frame via the pin shaft and to the upper and lower platforms via the limit block.
[0007] Furthermore, a drive unit is connected to the middle of the support frame; a locking device is installed on the lower platform.
[0008] Furthermore, the drive unit includes a fixed pin, a hydraulic cylinder, and a valve block. The hydraulic cylinder is connected to the support frame via the fixed pin, and the drive unit raises and lowers the upper platform by driving the support frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the locking device includes a bushing, an upper housing, a drive block, and a lower housing. The upper and lower housings are equipped with racks. The bushing is sleeved on the roller shaft of the lowering mechanism body and is fixedly connected to the upper housing. The drive block is connected to the upper housing through its internal rod. The lower housing is fixed on the lower platform. The drive block controls the engagement and disengagement between the racks of the upper and lower housings by extending and retracting its internal rod.
[0010] Furthermore, the anti-sway guide device includes a support frame, a shaft, a guide frame, and guide wheels. The support frame is fixed to the bottom of the upper platform by bolts, the guide frame is fixed to the top of the lower platform by bolts, and there are four guide wheels, which are placed in the grooves of the guide frame.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This invention enables stable transport operations in a marine environment when the lifting mechanism is located in the middle of the cabin and there is no fixed mounting base on the surrounding bulkheads, thus reducing risks.
[0013] This utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0014] 1. This utility model is a scissor lift mechanism. When the lift mechanism is arranged in the middle of the cabin, it can still operate smoothly under the condition of ship rolling. Moreover, it has low requirements for installation interface, which allows the device to operate in complex construction environments and improves the environmental adaptability of this utility model.
