The invention relates to the technical field of wedge mechanisms, and discloses a rack type upturning wedge mechanism which comprises a
wedge base, a linkage axial part is arranged on the
wedge base, power execution parts are correspondingly arranged on the two sides of the linkage axial part in a matched mode, and the power execution parts on the two sides are in running fit with the linkage axial part. Power is transmitted in a
tooth surface meshing mode, the contact point of the rack and the gear is located on the circumferential face of the outermost side of the gear all the time, pure tangential acting force is formed, no torsion is generated, the acting
force direction is completely consistent with the transmission direction, force loss component force does not exist, and due to the outermost side
tangential contact design, the transmission efficiency is greatly improved. Driving resistance is greatly reduced based on the principle of arm of force maximization, namely the closer to the outer side of the gear, the longer the arm of force is, the smaller the needed driving acting force is, efficient and labor-saving driving is achieved, meanwhile, the
tangential force characteristic thoroughly avoids vertical friction component force of a traditional structure, and meshing friction resistance is further reduced to the minimum.
