A drive motor 207, a servo motor, is connected to the end of the lifting screw 205. The servo motor 207 is a high-precision, high-response closed-loop control motor system that facilitates easy adjustment of the height of the adjusting plate 201. A worm gear is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the drive motor 207, and a worm wheel is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting screw 205. The drive motor 207 is connected to the lifting screw 205 via the worm gear and worm wheel, allowing the drive motor 207 to drive the lifting screw 205 to rotate, and utilizing the self-locking function of the worm gear and worm wheel... This mechanism provides a locking function and improves stability. A connecting rod 208 is fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting plate 201. The connecting rod 208 has an L-shaped cross-section, and its end is detachably connected to the adjusting plate 201 via bolts. This allows for easy disassembly and assembly of the connecting rod 208 and the adjusting plate 201, facilitating maintenance.

The hydraulic cylinder 404 can extend and retract to drive the connecting seat 403 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting seat 403 drives the support rod 402 to rotate. The rotation of the support rod 402 drives the mounting base 1 to rotate, so that the mounting base 1 rotates around the rotating seats 401, which facilitates the adjustment of the tilt angle of the ironing board 3.

[0024] During operation, the movable wheel 211 is moved to the ground, causing the digital micrometer 214 to generate a certain reading. Using this as a reference, as the paver moves as a whole, the movable wheel 211 moves, driving the movable seat 210 to move. The movable seat 210 moves, driving the top rod 213 to move. The top rod 213 moves, driving the probe of the digital micrometer 214 to move, allowing the digital micrometer 214 to detect the flatness of the ground. The digital micrometer 214 transmits the data to the controller via serial communication. The controller controls the drive motor 207 to work, which drives the lifting screw 205 to rotate. The rotation of the lifting screw 205 drives the connecting frame 204 to move, which in turn drives the guide sleeve 202 to move, automatically adjusting the height of the screed 3, effectively improving the flexibility and convenience of use.
