Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-altitude work equipment technology, specifically a welding platform with a retractable canopy suitable for high-altitude welding. Background Technology

[0002] Welding platforms with retractable canopies suitable for high-altitude welding are designed to provide a safe and stable working environment for high-altitude operations and to protect welders from weather conditions through the retractable canopy.

[0003] Traditional lifting platforms face numerous challenges when operating outdoors due to the lack of sunshade and rain protection. Work must be stopped in the rain, directly reducing work efficiency. In hot weather, the temperature of the working area rises sharply after the platform is exposed to the sun, which can easily lead to uneven heating of the welding area and affect the stability of welding quality. If ordinary sunshades are temporarily installed as a solution, their poor wind resistance makes them prone to swaying and tipping over in the wind, posing a safety hazard. While fixed canopies can provide protection, they restrict the mobility of the platform and hinder storage and folding, making it difficult to meet the needs of flexible operation of lifting platforms. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a welding platform with a retractable canopy suitable for high-altitude welding, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a welding platform with a retractable canopy suitable for high-altitude welding, comprising a lifting platform and an operating frame installed on top of the lifting platform, and further comprising:

[0006] The canopy is installed on the top of one side of the operating frame. The operating frame has a support member on one side to facilitate the support or storage of the canopy. The support member includes a movable rod and a support frame. One side of the movable rod is rotatably connected to the operating frame via a pivot. The bottom of one side of the movable rod is rotatably connected to the support frame via a pivot. The top of the support frame is rotatably connected to the canopy via a pivot.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the movable rod is rotatably connected to a first gas spring via a pivot, and the bottom of the first gas spring is rotatably connected to the operating frame via a pivot.

[0008] Preferably, a second gas spring is rotatably connected to one side of the surface of the movable rod via a pivot, and one side of the second gas spring is rotatably connected to the support frame.

[0009] Preferably, an electric actuator is fixedly connected to one side of the movable rod, and the bottom of one side of the electric actuator is rotatably connected to the support frame.

[0010] Preferably, a rain gauge sensor for monitoring rainwater is electrically connected to one side of the operating frame.

[0011] Preferably, one side of the operating frame is electrically connected to a light sensor for monitoring light intensity.

[0012] Preferably, the surface of the awning fabric is coated with a waterproof and flame-retardant coating.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This utility model, through the setting of the support component, utilizes the outward thrust generated by the compressed gas of the first gas spring to easily drive the movable rod upward. During the upward movement of the movable rod, the support frame is simultaneously pushed upward, thereby smoothly unfolding the awning cloth. The unfolded awning cloth can effectively shield the work area from sunlight and rain, which not only improves the working environment of workers but also avoids the interference of weather factors on construction, significantly enhancing the practical value and ease of use of the awning cloth.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a welding platform with a retractable canopy suitable for high-altitude welding includes a lifting platform 1 and an operating frame 2 mounted on top of the lifting platform 1, and further includes:

[0022] The canopy 3 is set on the top of one side of the operating frame 2. The operating frame 2 has a support 4 on one side to facilitate the support or storage of the canopy 3. The support 4 includes a movable rod 401 and a support frame 402. One side of the movable rod 401 is rotatably connected to the operating frame 2 through a pivot. The bottom of one side of the movable rod 401 is rotatably connected to the support frame 402 through a pivot. The top of the support frame 402 is rotatably connected to the canopy 3 through a pivot.

[0023] The bottom of the movable rod 401 is rotatably connected to a first gas spring 403 via a pivot, and the bottom of the first gas spring 403 is rotatably connected to the operating frame 2 via a pivot. A second gas spring 404 is rotatably connected to one side of the surface of the movable rod 401 via a pivot, and one side of the second gas spring 404 is rotatably connected to the support frame 402. An electric actuator 405 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable rod 401, and the bottom of one side of the electric actuator 405 is rotatably connected to the support frame 402. A rain sensor 5 for monitoring rainwater is electrically connected to one side of the operating frame 2, and a light sensor 6 for monitoring sunlight is electrically connected to one side of the operating frame 2. The surface of the canopy tarpaulin 3 is coated with a waterproof and flame-retardant coating. During construction, when the rain sensor 5 or the light sensor 6... When sensor 6 detects rain or strong light, the control system first triggers the first gas spring 403. The outward thrust generated by the compressed gas drives the movable rod 401 upward, and the movable rod 401 simultaneously pushes the support frame 402 to begin unfolding. At this time, the electric actuator 405 starts its telescopic action, providing auxiliary support to the support frame 402 and ensuring stability during the unfolding process. Simultaneously, the second gas spring 404 releases compressed gas to generate thrust, further reinforcing the support structure of the support frame 402. As the support frame 402 is fully unfolded, the canopy tarpaulin 3 is simultaneously raised, immediately providing sun and rain protection for the workers on the operating frame 2. In addition, the waterproof and flame-retardant coating on the surface of the canopy tarpaulin 3 effectively improves its weather resistance and safety, further enhancing the protective effect.

[0024] Working Principle: First, the device is moved to the designated location. Then, the operating frame 2 is raised to a suitable height using the lifting platform 1. It should be noted that the lifting platform 1 is existing technology, relying on mechanical devices such as chains, gears, and screws to transmit power and drive the platform up and down through rotational motion. This method has a relatively simple structure and is suitable for low-load, low-frequency applications. This is existing technology, and those skilled in the art will understand it clearly, so it will not be elaborated further to facilitate welding operations. Subsequently, during construction, when the rain sensor 5 or the light sensor 6 detects rain or strong light, it should be noted that the rain sensor 5 and the light sensor 6 are existing technologies and are electrically connected to the control terminal. The control terminal in this solution can be set as a conventional control module, such as a PLC controller. The rain sensor 5 is responsible for detecting the external rainfall level, and the light sensor 6 is responsible for detecting the external sunlight temperature. When a preset threshold is reached, the signal is converted into... An electrical signal is output, which is received by the controller. Based on preset logic, the controller determines whether to trigger the operation of the support component 4. The support component 4 then performs the corresponding operation according to the controller's instructions. Those skilled in the art will understand this clearly, so it will not be elaborated here. The control system triggers the first gas spring 403, and the outward thrust generated by its compressed gas drives the movable rod 401 to lift upward. The movable rod 401 simultaneously pushes the support frame 402 to begin unfolding. At this time, the electric actuator 405 starts its telescopic action, providing auxiliary support to the support frame 402 and ensuring stability during the unfolding process. At the same time, the second gas spring 404 releases compressed gas to generate thrust, further reinforcing the support structure of the support frame 402. As the support frame 402 is fully unfolded, the canopy tarpaulin 3 is simultaneously lifted, immediately providing sun and rain protection for the workers on the operating frame 2. In addition, the waterproof and flame-retardant coating on the surface of the canopy tarpaulin 3 effectively improves its weather resistance and safety, further enhancing the protective effect.
