At this time, the second ball 15 is in a free rolling state, and the staff can easily push the salt sculpture to the placement position, which is convenient for the staff to move the salt sculpture and improves the convenience of use.

[0031] In one embodiment, the first lead screw 4 passes through the end plate 2 and is rotatably connected to the end plate 2 via a bearing. The first lead screw 4 and the second lead screw 10 are arranged perpendicularly, and the bottom surface of the second lead screw 10 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom surface of the gantry 9 via a rotating connecting seat 8, thereby improving the stability of rotation.

[0032] In one embodiment, the bottom surface of the movable seat 3 is provided with a ball groove, and a first ball bearing 5 is rolled inside the ball groove. The first ball bearing 5 rolls against the top surface of the base plate 1 to reduce the friction of movement. There are multiple sets of first ball bearing 5.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] During the salt sculpture lifting process, the electric cylinder 17 pushes the inner plate 16 upward, thereby causing the groove 18 to abut against the bottom of the second ball bearing 15, preventing the second ball bearing 15 from rolling and improving the stability of the salt sculpture placement. At the same time, the first drive motor 13 drives the second lead screw 10 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting plate 11 and the placement platform 14 to rise, thus lifting the salt sculpture. After the salt sculpture reaches the designated installation height, the operator can activate the electric cylinder 17 to shorten it. At this time, the second ball bearing 15 is in a free rolling state, and the operator can easily push the salt sculpture to the placement position, making it convenient for the operator to move the salt sculpture and improving the ease of use.
