In the circulation process of precision instruments, anticollision is particularly important because of the precision and friability of the instruments. The precision instruments and highly automated equipment are typically made from many small parts and the friction, collision and other accidents of these small parts can easily result in damage or failures. Especially for some expensive instruments which are difficult to reproduce, it is necessary in particular to protect their integrity. Once the instrument is struck or vibrated, its stability and measurement accuracy may be impaired. In some instruments that require high-precision measurements, even small vibrations or displacements can lead to deviations in the measurement results.Protecting instruments from impacts also reduces the cost of repairs and adjustments caused by impacts. In addition, if an instrument is damaged too much or easily damaged, it may result in shorter service intervals or more replacement operations, reducing the efficiency and cost of operation and maintenance.CONTENT OF THE PRESENT INVENTIONThe main purpose of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for transporting equipment having a collision absorbing function to solve the problem that there is no buffering during the transport process of mechanical equipment and a direct collision occurs, resulting in device tipping over.In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solutions used in this utility model are: apparatus for transporting equipment having a collision absorbing function, comprising a base, wherein a plurality of lifting guide sleeves are disposed above the base, and wherein a plurality of universal wheels are disposed at the bottom of the base, and wherein a fixing slot is provided at the center of the base, and wherein a raisable protective enclosure is disposed above the lifting guide sleeve;
