[0038] In the related art, the vehicle is mainly lifted by air springs, but the air springs cannot accurately adjust the degree of lifting, and the lifting and lowering are laborious, and the adjustment of the lifting height is not convenient enough.

[0039] In view of this, the present application provides a lifting device. The lifting device includes a shell assembly, a drive assembly, a transmission assembly and a pushing assembly. The shell assembly has a central axis extending in the vertical direction. The drive assembly is assembled in the shell assembly. The transmission assembly is assembled in the shell assembly and includes a sleeve connected to the drive assembly, a transmission member provided in the sleeve and a moving member provided in the sleeve and partially extending outside the sleeve, the moving member is connected to the transmission member, the drive assembly drives the sleeve to rotate around the central axis direction, drives the transmission member to rotate around the central axis direction, and the transmission member and the moving member move up and down relative to the sleeve along the central axis direction. The pushing assembly is assembled outside the shell assembly and is connected to the moving member.

[0040] The lifting device provided by the present application drives the sleeve to rotate about the central axis through the drive assembly, thereby driving the transmission member to rotate about the central axis, so that the transmission member and the movable member move up and down along the central axis relative to the sleeve, and can simultaneously drive the push assembly to move up and down along the central axis relative to the housing assembly. The method of driving the movable member and the push assembly to achieve push lifting by the rotation of the transmission member can finely adjust the lifting height, which is more convenient and quick. In addition, driving the push assembly up and down by the rotation of the transmission member is more labor-saving.

[0041] The lifting device of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the features of the following embodiments and implementations can be combined with each other.

[0042] FIG1 is a schematic diagram showing a lifting device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application applied to a vehicle 200. In the embodiment shown in FIG1 , the lifting device 100 can be applied to the vehicle 200 and is used to lift an external component, which can be a vehicle component 400 of the vehicle 200. The lifting device 100 is located between the frame 300 of the vehicle 200 and the vehicle component 400. The bottom end of the lifting device 100 is fixed to the vehicle component 400, and the top end of the lifting device 100 can be fixed to the frame 300 of the vehicle 200. The elastic member 52 of the pushing assembly 5 at the bottom of the lifting device 100 abuts against the vehicle component 400, and the pushing assembly 5 of the lifting device 100 pushes the vehicle component 400 downward, thereby lifting the vehicle 200. In this embodiment, the lifting device 100 can be a linear actuator.

[0043] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a lifting device 100 before lifting according to an embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the lifting device 100 includes a transmission assembly 1, a drive assembly 2, a shell assembly 4 and a pushing assembly 5. In this embodiment, the shell assembly 4 is used to protect other internal components, the drive assembly 2 is used to drive the transmission assembly 1, the transmission assembly 1 is used to transmit power to the pushing assembly 5, and the pushing assembly 5 is used to lift external components. The shell assembly 4 has a center axis (center axis) 401 extending in the vertical direction. The drive assembly 2 is assembled in the shell assembly 4. The transmission assembly 1 is assembled in the shell assembly 4, and includes a sleeve 11 connected to the drive assembly 2, a transmission member 12 provided in the sleeve 11, and a moving member 13 provided in the sleeve 11 and partially extending outside the sleeve 11. Movable member 13 is connected with transmission member 12, and drive assembly 2 drives sleeve 11 to rotate around central axis 401 directions, drives transmission member 12 to rotate around central axis 401 directions, and drives transmission member 12 and movable member 13 to move up and down relative to sleeve 11 along central axis 401 directions. Pushing assembly 5 is assembled in housing assembly 4 outside, and is connected with moving member 13, when moving member 13 moves up and down relative to sleeve 11 along central axis 401 directions, synchronously drives pushing assembly 5 to move up and down relative to housing assembly 4 along central axis 401 directions. So arrange, drive sleeve 11 around central axis 401 directions by drive assembly 2, drive transmission member 12 to rotate around central axis 401 directions, make transmission member 12 and movable member 13 move up and down relative to sleeve 11 along central axis 401 directions, can synchronously drive pushing assembly 5 to move up and down relative to housing assembly 4 along central axis 401 directions. The transmission member 12 rotates to drive the moving member 13 and the pushing component 5 to achieve the pushing and lifting method, which can finely adjust the lifting height, is more convenient and quick, and driving the pushing component 5 up and down by rotating the transmission member 12 is more labor-saving.

[0044] FIG3 is a schematic diagram of the lifting device 100 after lifting according to an embodiment of the present application. In combination with the embodiments shown in FIG2 and FIG3 , FIG2 shows the state of the lifting device 100 before lifting the external component. When the external component needs to be lifted, the driving component 2 drives the sleeve 11 to rotate in one direction, driving the transmission member 12 to rotate around the central axis 401, so that the transmission member 12 synchronously drives the moving member 13 to move downward along the central axis 401 relative to the sleeve 11, and the moving member 13 synchronously drives the pushing component 5 to move downward along the central axis 401 relative to the shell component 4, thereby achieving the state of the lifting device 100 after lifting the external component as shown in FIG3 . When switching from the lifting state to the non-lifting state, the driving component 2 drives the sleeve 11 to rotate in the opposite direction, driving the transmission member 12 to rotate, so that the transmission member 12 synchronously drives the moving member 13 to move upward along the center axis 401 relative to the sleeve 11, and the moving member 13 synchronously drives the pushing component 5 to move upward along the center axis 401 relative to the shell component 4, thereby realizing the state of the lifting device 100 before lifting the external component as shown in Figure 2.

[0045] In the embodiment shown in Figures 2 and 3, the inner wall of the sleeve 11 is provided with a first internal thread 111. The transmission member 12 is located at the upper portion of the sleeve 11 and has a first external thread 121 on its circumferential wall that matches the first internal thread 111. The transmission member 12 is assembled with the sleeve 11 by mating the first external thread 121 with the first internal thread 111. The first internal thread 111 and the first external thread 121 can mesh with each other. For example, the lead angle of the first internal thread 111 and the lead angle of the first external thread 121 can be the same in magnitude and direction. Multiple transmission members 12 can be provided, so that the first internal thread 111 of the sleeve 11 and the first external threads 121 of multiple transmission members 12 mesh with each other. In this embodiment, the transmission member 12 can be a stud. With the first external thread 121 mating with the first internal thread 111, the transmission member 12 is assembled to the upper portion of the sleeve 11 and can move from the top to the bottom of the sleeve 11, or from the bottom to the top. When sleeve 11 rotates about central axis 401, transmission member 12 rotates synchronously about central axis 401 through the engagement of first internal thread 111 with first external thread 121, and transmission member 12 moves synchronously relative to sleeve 11 along central axis 401. The engagement of first internal thread 111 of sleeve 11 and first external thread 121 of transmission member 12 enables transmission member 12 to rotate and move. This arrangement, which achieves rotation through thread matching, simplifies rotation and allows for more precise adjustment of movement distance, thereby facilitating fine-tuning of lift height.

[0046] The part of moving member 13 is located in the sleeve 11, and is connected with transmission member 12. In the present embodiment, the top and bottom of transmission member 12 all can be connected and assembled with moving member 13 by retaining spring. In other embodiments, transmission member 12 and moving member 13 can also be assembled by other connection modes. Another part of moving member 13 extends outside the sleeve 11, and is connected with pushing assembly 5. In the present embodiment, moving member 13 and pushing assembly 5 are fixedly connected by nut 56. In other embodiments, moving member 13 and pushing assembly 5 can also be fixedly connected by modes such as clamping, and the application does not limit this. The peripheral wall of moving member 13 is provided with the second external thread 131 that mates with the first external thread 121, mates with the first external thread 121 by the second external thread 131, and moving member 13 and transmission member 12 are assembled.

[0047] In this embodiment, the transmission member 12 can be a roller of a planetary roller screw, which is a transmission component that converts rotational motion into linear motion. The transmission member 12 can be assembled to the outer periphery of the mobile member 13 using fasteners such as a retaining spring, and the first external thread 121 of the transmission member 12 matches the second external thread 131 of the mobile member 13, so that the transmission member 12 rotates around the outer periphery of the mobile member 13 and drives the mobile member 13 to move up and down, thereby converting the rotational motion into linear motion. For example, the thread lead angle of the first external thread 121 and the thread lead angle of the second external thread 131 are the same in magnitude but in opposite directions. This arrangement enables the transmission member 12 to transmit power to the mobile member 13, thereby driving the mobile member 13 to move up and down. The number of transmission members 12 is set to at least one. In this embodiment, the number of transmission members 12 is set to 8. In other embodiments, the number of transmission members 12 can also be set to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc., and this application does not limit this. At least one transmission member 12 is all located at the top of sleeve 11 and is symmetrically arranged. At least one transmission member 12 rotates synchronously around central axis 401 directions and moves synchronously relative to sleeve 11 along central axis 401 directions. In the present embodiment, at least one transmission member 12 is all located at the top of sleeve 11 and is evenly distributed circumferentially on the inner sidewall of sleeve 11. Corresponding transmission member 12 is close to the top of movable member 13. Such arrangement reduces the resistance of transmission member 12 during transmission, more rapidly. When transmission member 12 moves synchronously relative to sleeve 11 along central axis 401 directions, it drives movable member 13 and push assembly 5 to move synchronously. Such arrangement enables transmission member 12 to realize rotation more quickly and effectively under the cooperation of the first internal thread 111 of sleeve 11, thereby driving movable member 13 and push assembly 5 to move synchronously, realizing rapid lifting or rapid cancellation of lifting. In the present embodiment, at least one transmission member 12 rotates synchronously around central axis 401 directions and moves synchronously downward relative to sleeve 11 along central axis 401 directions. When the transmission member 12 moves downwardly relative to the sleeve 11 along the central axis 401, it drives the moving member 13 and the pushing assembly 5 to move downwardly, achieving a rapid lift state. At least one transmission member 12 rotates synchronously about the central axis 401 and moves upwardly relative to the sleeve 11 along the central axis 401. When the transmission member 12 moves upwardly relative to the sleeve 11 along the central axis 401, it drives the moving member 13 and the pushing assembly 5 to move upwardly, canceling the lift state.

[0048] The movable member 13 comprises a lifting shaft 132 and a split shaft 133 connected with the lifting shaft 132. The lifting shaft 132 is coaxially arranged with the split shaft 133, and is connected with the pushing assembly 5 by the split shaft 133. The lifting shaft 132 moves synchronously with the split shaft 133 and the pushing assembly 5. Such arrangement is convenient for the assembly and disassembly of the lifting device 100. In the present embodiment, the movable member 13 is arranged to the lifting shaft 132 and the split shaft 133, and the second external thread 131 is arranged on the outer sidewall of the lifting shaft 132. In other embodiments, the movable member 13 can also be only arranged to an axis, or can be set to the lifting shaft 132 and the split shaft 133 as an integral part.

[0049] Referring back to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 , the drive assembly 2 includes a first stator 21 and a first rotor 22. The first stator 21 is configured to generate a driving magnetic field, causing the first rotor 22 to rotate. The first rotor 22 is sleeved around the circumference of the sleeve 11. In this embodiment, the first rotor 22 is fixed to the circumference of the sleeve 11, either by bonding or by a bracket, etc., though this application is not limited thereto. The first stator 21 is configured to be electrically connected to an external power device. The external power device may be an external power supply. In this embodiment, the first stator 21 includes a permanent magnet 211 and a first winding 212 wound around the permanent magnet 211. There are multiple, even-numbered first stators 21, and the first winding 212 in the first stator 21 is configured to be electrically connected to the external power device. When the external power device energizes the first stator 21, it drives the first rotor 22 to rotate about the central axis 401, causing the sleeve 11 to rotate synchronously about the central axis 401. With such an arrangement, by energizing the first stator 21 , the first rotor 22 rotates, thereby driving the sleeve 11 to rotate synchronously around the central axis 401 . The method is simple and easy to drive and achieve lifting.

[0050] The lifting device 100 also includes an encoder, which includes a circuit board 23 and a second rotor 24 electrically connected to the circuit board 23. The second rotor 24 is assembled to the first rotor 22 and rotates synchronously with the first rotor 22. The circuit board 23 is used to record the rotation data of the second rotor 24, thereby recording the rotation data of the first rotor 22. By recording the rotation data of the first rotor 22 via the circuit board 23, the lifting height of the lifting device 100 can be recorded, thereby achieving control of the lifting height. This configuration allows for more precise control and adjustment of the lifting height, making it more intelligent, convenient, and quick.

[0051] Lifting device 100 also includes a temperature sensor 25, which is assembled on first stator 21. Temperature sensor 25 is used to detect the temperature of first stator 21 and output a corresponding electrical signal. In this embodiment, temperature sensor 25 can detect the temperature of first winding 212, thereby ensuring that the temperature of first winding 212 is within a normal range, thereby ensuring the safety of lifting device 100.

[0052] In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the lifting device 100 also includes a brake assembly 3, assembled within the housing assembly 4 and located on top of the transmission assembly 1. The brake assembly 3 is used to stop or continue lifting. The brake assembly 3 includes a third stator 31 and a mover 33. The third stator 31 is used to attract or stop the mover 33 when energized. The third stator 31 is assembled on top of the sleeve 11 and is electrically connected to an external power device. In this embodiment, the third stator 31 includes a third winding 32, which is electrically connected to the external power device. When the external power device energizes the third stator 31, the mover 33 moves upward relative to the sleeve 11, separating the mover 33 from the sleeve 11. When the third stator 31 is de-energized, the mover 33 moves downward relative to the sleeve 11 and abuts against the top of the sleeve 11. This configuration allows the external assembly to be remotely controlled to continue or stop lifting, which is more convenient and quick. In this embodiment, there is a gap between the third stator 31 and the mover 33. When the third winding 32 in the third stator 31 is energized, the mover 33 is adsorbed by the third stator 31, so that the mover 33 cannot be pressed on the top of the sleeve 11 by gravity, so that the sleeve 11 continues to rotate, thereby achieving continuous lifting; when the third winding 32 in the third stator 31 is de-energized, the mover 33 stops being adsorbed on the third stator 31, and the mover 33 is pressed on the sleeve 11 by gravity, so that the sleeve 11 stops rotating, thereby stopping lifting.

[0053] Lifting device 100 further includes a first seal 34, which is assembled between third stator 31 and the inner sidewall of top shell 41 of housing assembly 4. First seal 34 is used to seal the opening of top shell 41 of housing assembly 4, preventing liquid from leaking into lifting device 100 through gaps in top shell 41.
