Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lifting equipment technology, and in particular to a fall protection testing device for a lifting platform. Background Technology
[0002] A scissor lift, also known as a scissor-lift platform, is a type of lifting and loading equipment widely used in industrial and commercial fields. Its core structure is the scissor fork (scissor boom), which raises and lowers the platform through the crisscrossing extension and retraction of multiple sets of forks. During operation, a belt typically provides power to extend and retract the forks. As the forks extend, the platform rises; as they retract, the platform lowers. This type of lift has many advantages, such as a compact structure, occupying little space when retracted, facilitating storage and transportation; strong load-bearing capacity, capable of smoothly lifting heavy goods or personnel; and stable lifting process, as the scissor fork structure keeps the platform level during lifting, ensuring operational safety. However, it is understandable that if the scissor forks malfunction, the platform could easily fall, causing goods to roll off and personnel to be injured.
[0003] To prevent the lifting platform from falling, a fall protection device (fall protection cylinder) is usually installed on it. Understandably, this fall protection device needs to be tested during the production process of the lifting platform. Utility Model Content

[0020] This utility model embodiment provides a fall protection testing device for a lifting platform. The lifting platform includes: a base 1, a platform 2 disposed on the base 1, and a scissor fork 3 disposed between the platform 2 and the base 1; a driving device and a transmission shaft 4. The driving device can drive the transmission shaft 4 to rotate. When the transmission shaft 4 rotates along a first direction, the driving device drives the platform 2 to move upward. When the platform 2 moves downward, it can drive the transmission shaft 4 to rotate along a second direction. When the transmission shaft 4 is jammed and cannot rotate, the platform 2 cannot move downward. The first and second directions are opposite. Here, as shown... Figure 3As shown, the drive device includes a motor, the rotor of which can be connected to the right end 41 of the drive shaft 4. When the rotor rotates, it drives the drive shaft 4 to rotate. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fall protection testing device 5 includes: The base plate 51 is provided with a slide bar 53 that can only slide in the front and back direction. The slide bar 53 extends in the front and back direction, and a first rack 54 is provided on the front side of the slide bar 53. A first gear 55 is provided on the base plate 51. The rotation shaft 551 of the first gear 55 extends in the left and right direction and can be connected to the transmission shaft 4. The first rack 54 and the first gear 55 can be in a first state and a second state; when in the first state, the first rack 54 and the first gear 55 are engaged; when in the second state, the first rack 54 and the first gear 55 are disengaged. During the sliding process of the slider 53, the first rack 54 and the first gear 55 can switch between a first state and a second state.
[0021] In use, the rotor of the motor in the drive device is connected to the right end 41 of the transmission shaft 4. When the drive device is started, it drives the transmission shaft 4 to rotate in the first direction. At this time, the platform 2 moves upward and reaches the test height. Then, the rotating shaft 551 of the first gear 55 is connected to the transmission shaft 4, and the slider 53 is engaged with the first gear 55 (i.e., in the first state). After that, the rotor of the motor is separated from the transmission shaft 4, and the slider 53 is pulled to move in the left and right directions. It can be understood that the first rack 54 and the first gear 55 are eventually released (i.e., in the second state). Then, the platform 2 will move downward, and the fall protection device can be tested to see if it can function properly.
[0022] In this embodiment, a groove 52 extending in the front-back direction is provided on the base plate 51, and the slide bar 53 is slidably disposed in the groove 52.
[0023] In this embodiment, the left and right sides of the slider 53 abut against the inner side of the groove 52. This allows the slider 53 to slide only along the groove 52 in the back-and-forth direction.
[0024] In this embodiment, a baffle 521 is provided above the groove 52, and the baffle 521 is fixedly connected to the base plate 51. The slide bar 53 abuts against the lower surface of the baffle 521. Here, the baffle 521 can prevent the slide bar 53 from moving in the up and down direction.
[0025] In this embodiment, the length of the first rack 54 is less than the length of the slide bar 53 in the front-back direction.
[0026] In this embodiment, the groove 52 is capable of moving left and right relative to the base plate 51. For example... Figure 1 As shown, two parallel and symmetrically arranged slide rails 511 are provided on the base plate 51, extending in the left-right direction; sliders are provided at both ends of the groove 52, and the two sliders can slide along the corresponding slide rails 511 respectively. In use, the rotating shaft 551 can be aligned with the drive shaft 4, and then the groove 52 can be moved toward the drive shaft 4. Finally, the rotating shaft 551 contacts the drive shaft 4 and is then fixed.
[0027] In this embodiment, two parallel and symmetrically arranged slide rails 511 are provided on the base plate 51, and the slide rails 511 extend in the left and right direction; both the front and rear ends of the groove 52 are provided with sliders, and the sliders at the front and rear ends can slide along the front and rear slide rails 511 respectively.
[0028] In this embodiment, the right side of the rotating shaft 551 is provided with a recess 5511 for accommodating the transmission shaft 4. Here, the transmission shaft 4 is generally cylindrical, and the recess 5511 is also cylindrical, so that it can match the transmission shaft 4; a protrusion can be provided on the outer side of the transmission shaft 4, and a space can be provided on the inner side of the recess 5511 to accommodate the protrusion, so that the connection between the rotating shaft 551 and the transmission shaft 4 is more secure.
[0029] In this embodiment, a second rack 56 is provided on the rear side of the slide bar 53, and a second gear 57 is provided on the base plate 51. When the slide bar 53 slides in the back-and-forth direction, the second rack 56 and the second gear 57 are always meshed. A motor 58 is provided on the base plate 51, the stator of the motor 58 is fixedly connected to the base plate 51, and the rotor drives the second gear 57 to rotate. Here, when the rotor of the motor 58 rotates, it can drive the slide bar 53 to move in the back-and-forth direction.
[0030] In this embodiment, the first and second racks are not connected.
[0031] It should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This way of describing the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
[0032] The detailed descriptions listed above are merely specific descriptions of feasible implementations of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent implementations or modifications made without departing from the spirit of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
