Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vertical jacks, specifically a vertical jack with an extendable top. Background Technology
[0002] Vertical jacks, as a common mechanical lifting tool, are widely used in fields such as automobile repair, construction, and equipment installation. They lift heavy objects by extending and retracting the piston rod, providing crucial support and height adjustment for various engineering operations. The piston rod of a vertical jack is usually fitted with a fixed jack head.
[0003] A search revealed that patent publication number CN216638776U discloses a vertical jack with an extendable top. The jack includes a main body with a lifting column that moves vertically up and down. It also includes a first extension column and a second extension column of unequal height. Both the first and second extension columns have connecting columns at their bottoms. The top of the lifting column has a guide hole for inserting the connecting column. The bottom of the connecting column has a pin hole, and the main body of the jack has a positioning pin for inserting into the pin hole. The positioning pin has an elastic element, including a connecting piece at the top of the positioning pin, and elastic tabs extending from both sides of the connecting piece, with their upper ends close to the positioning pin and gradually moving downwards away from it. This vertical jack features an extendable maximum lifting height, flexible use, wide applicability, comprehensive overall functionality, and strong practicality.
[0004] In practical applications, existing vertical jacks typically use fixed-size jack heads. These fixed-size jack heads cannot adapt to objects of different sizes, making it difficult to flexibly adjust the support range according to the size of the supported object. Different sized jack heads need to be replaced based on the size of the supported object, resulting in low versatility. The connection between the jack head and the piston rod on the vertical jack is generally a threaded connection. When the vertical jack is subjected to a large load or uneven external force, the threaded connection is prone to stripping, affecting the stability and safety of the lifting operation. Therefore, a vertical jack with an extendable top is designed. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the defects or shortcomings of the existing vertical jacks, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vertical jack with an extendable top, which not only effectively improves the stability of the connection between the jack assembly and the piston rod, but also adjusts the support range between the jack assembly and the supported object, ensuring that the supported object is subjected to uniform force.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, one or more of the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. In this utility model, through a series of coordinated structural arrangements, when the worker needs to adjust the support range of the top plate on the supported object, the worker rotates the adjusting bolt to release the tightness between the threaded sleeve and the threaded column. The worker then rotates the threaded sleeve via the adjusting bolt. As the threaded sleeve rotates, it moves upwards or downwards towards the threaded column. This upward or downward movement of the threaded sleeve causes the moving sleeve to move upwards or downwards. This upward or downward movement of the moving sleeve, through the movable connecting rod, drives the second moving plate to move outwards or inwards within the mounting groove. This outward or inward movement of the second moving plate within the mounting groove adjusts the support range of the top plate on the supported object. When the worker moves the second moving plate outwards within the mounting groove, the support range of the top plate on the supported object is increased. This allows for adjustment of the support range between the top assembly and the supported object, ensuring uniform force distribution on the supported object, preventing damage caused by excessive local pressure, and improving the versatility and applicability of this utility model.
[0017] 2. In this utility model, through a series of structural arrangements, when the operator needs to adjust the maximum lifting height of this utility model, the operator can adjust the distance between the top plate and the top of the piston rod by rotating the threaded column. The distance between the top plate and the top of the piston rod can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the maximum lifting height of this utility model. Furthermore, the coordinated arrangement of the first spring and the second spring, etc., with the first spring and the second spring in a compressed state, will generate radial force, which will increase the friction between the threaded column and the threaded hole on the piston rod, effectively preventing the thread from slipping between the threaded column and the threaded hole on the piston rod.

[0030] The top of the top plate 270 is provided with mounting grooves 276 arranged in a ring array. A first movable plate 271 and a second movable plate 272 are installed inside the mounting grooves 276. The first movable plate 271 is located on one side of the second movable plate 272. The second movable plate 272 is movably connected to the movable sleeve 240 through a movable connecting rod 260. When the movable sleeve 240 moves up or down along the threaded post 210, it will drive the second movable plate 272 to move outward or inward within the mounting groove 276 through the movable connecting rod 260.
[0031] A first spring 220 is provided on the outer side of the circumferential outer wall of the threaded column 210, and the first spring 220 is located between the bottom end of the threaded sleeve 230 and the top end of the piston rod 110.
[0032] The threaded sleeve 230 has threaded holes on both sides of its circumferential outer wall. An adjusting bolt 231 is installed in the threaded hole on the outer wall of the threaded sleeve 230. The adjusting bolt 231 can make the threaded sleeve 230 and the threaded post 210 in a tight state. The adjusting bolt 231 can also be used as a handle for rotating the threaded sleeve 230, which makes it convenient for the operator to rotate the threaded sleeve 230.
[0033] The bottom end of the second movable plate 272 is provided with a first connecting block. The bottom end of the first connecting block passes through the second limiting groove 275 and is movably connected to one end of the movable connecting rod 260 through a movable pin. The second limiting groove 275 is arranged in a ring array at the bottom of the top plate 270 and is connected to the mounting groove 276. The other end of the movable connecting rod 260 is movably connected to the second connecting block through a movable pin, and the second connecting block is arranged in a ring array on the circumferential outer wall of the movable sleeve 240.
[0034] A limiting post 2712 is installed on one end wall of the first movable plate 271, and the other end of the limiting post 2712 is located in the mounting hole 277. The mounting hole 277 is opened on the end wall of one end of the mounting groove 276. A third spring 273 is provided in the mounting hole 277, and the third spring 273 is located on the outer side of the circumferential outer wall of the limiting post 2712.
[0035] First limiting blocks 2711 are installed on both outer walls of the first movable plate 271, and second limiting blocks 2721 are installed on both outer walls of the second movable plate 272.

The first limiting groove 274 is opened on both sides of the groove wall of the mounting groove 276. The outer walls of the first movable plate 271 and the second movable plate 272 are clearance-fitted with the groove wall of the mounting groove 276. Because the outer walls of the first movable plate 271 and the second movable plate 272 are clearance-fitted with the groove wall of the mounting groove 276, and the outer walls of the first limiting blocks 2711 and the second limiting blocks 2721 are clearance-fitted with the groove wall of the first limiting groove 274, the movement of the first movable plate 271 and the second movable plate 272 can be limited and guided.
[0036] A second spring 250 is provided on the outer side of the circumferential outer wall of the threaded column 210, and the second spring 250 is located between the bottom end of the top plate 270 and the top end of the movable sleeve 240.
[0037] Working Principle: In use, when the operator needs to adjust the support range of the top plate 270 on the supported object, the operator rotates the adjusting bolt 231 to release the tightness between the threaded sleeve 230 and the threaded post 210. The operator then rotates the threaded sleeve 230 via the adjusting bolt 231. This rotation causes the threaded sleeve 230 to move upwards or downwards within the threaded post 210. This upward or downward movement of the threaded sleeve 230 causes the movable sleeve 240 to move upwards or downwards. This upward or downward movement of the movable sleeve 240, via the movable connecting rod 260, drives the second movable plate 272 to move outwards or inwards within the mounting groove 276. This outward or inward movement of the second movable plate 272 within the mounting groove 276 adjusts the support range of the top plate 270 on the supported object. When the operator moves the second movable plate 272 outwards within the mounting groove 276… This design increases the support range of the top plate 270 on the supported object, thereby adjusting the support range between the top assembly 200 and the supported object. This ensures uniform force on the supported object, prevents damage caused by excessive local pressure, and improves the versatility and applicability of the invention. When the operator needs to adjust the maximum lifting height of the invention, rotating the threaded column 210 adjusts the distance between the top plate 270 and the top of the piston rod 110. The adjustable distance between the top plate 270 and the top of the piston rod 110 allows for adjustment of the maximum lifting height. Furthermore, the coordinated arrangement of the first spring 220 and the second spring 250, with the first spring 220 and the second spring 250 in a compressed state, generates radial force, increasing the friction between the threaded column 210 and the threaded hole on the piston rod 110. This effectively prevents slippage between the threaded column and the threaded hole on the piston rod 110.
[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the invention. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and variations can be made to this invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this invention should be included within the protection scope of this invention.
