The present invention discloses a multifunctional vehicle lifting, steering, moving and obstacle crossing device. The apparatus is composed of a rotating mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a running mechanism and a control mechanism, is mounted at a bottom of an automobile, can be conveniently folded at the bottom of the automobile when not used at ordinary times, and has characteristics of portability, flexibility, no space occupation and easy operation. The apparatus can realize functions of a vehicle, such as lifting, rotating, moving and the like, in a wired or wireless control manner, and effectively overcome defects that the vehicle cannot realize four-wheel off-ground, entire side movement and in-situ rotation or pass through a narrow road or stride across a wide ditch or cross a high and narrow obstacle, thereby completing relatively difficult tasks of the vehicle, such as parking, moving, turning-around and turning in a narrow space, crossing ditches etc.

A lift device includes a base, a platform that is repositionable relative to the base between a fully raised position and a fully lowered position, and a scissor assembly coupling the base to the platform. The scissor assembly includes a scissor layer including a first scissor arm pivotally coupled to a second scissor arm. The first scissor arm is configured to rotate relative to the second scissor arm about a middle axis that extends laterally. A pulley is coupled to the first scissor arm. A tensile member is wrapped around the pulley and coupled to the second scissor arm. An actuator is configured to vary a working length of the tensile member such that the first scissor arm rotates relative to the second scissor arm to move the platform relative to the base.

A side saddle slingshot drilling rig includes a left and right substructure including a left and right lower box. The side saddle slingshot drilling rig includes a drill rig floor mechanically and pivotably coupled to the left and right lower boxes such that it is pivotably movable from a lowered position to a raised position. The drill rig floor includes a V-door. The V-door is positioned on the V-door side of the drill rig floor. The V-door side of the drill rig floor is oriented to face the right substructure. A mast coupled to the drill rig floor may include an open side, defining a mast V-door side. The mast V-door side may be oriented to face the right substructure. The mast may pivot into its raised position or may be a bootstrap mast.

A lifting device for lifting a rail car includes a frame with a load plate movably disposed thereon and a back plate movably disposed on the frame and coupled to the load plate. The lifting device further includes a first actuator disposed on the frame and operatively coupled to the back plate and at least one second actuator operatively coupled to the load plate such that the first actuator and the at least one second actuator produce forces in first and second directions. Further still, the first actuator and the at least one second actuator move the load plate of the lifting device in a substantially vertical direction.

A lifting mechanism of an automated guided vehicle includes: a carrier tray; a base plate; a connecting rod module connected between the carrier tray and the base plate and configured to cause the carrier tray to translate along a first direction; and a lifting module, which is arranged on the base plate, connected to the connecting rod module and located on one side of the connecting rod module and configured to cause the carrier tray to translate by means of driving the connecting rod module, wherein the first direction is a lifting direction of the lifting module lifting the connecting rod module or a direction opposite to the lifting direction. An automated guided vehicle is also disclosed.

An adjustable height platform is disclosed. The example adjustable height platform provides a first stage of uprights coupled to a lower platform and a second stage of uprights coupled to a lower platform. The first and second stage are coupled by a bracket with three pivot points. A first lower upright and a first upper upright couple to distinct pivot points on the bracket and a second lower upright and second upper upright couple to a common pivot point on the bracket. A first-to-second stage transfer mechanism transfer rotation force from the first stage of uprights to the second stage of uprights. The upper platform includes a height fixing mechanism release to interface with a height fixing mechanism coupled to the first upper upright to fix the height of the adjustable height platform.

Provided is a system and method for an adjustable standing platform for a person. The adjustable standing platform includes a base structured and arranged to be disposed upon a support surface with a movable platform disposed above and generally parallel to the base, the movable platform having at least one removable foot pedal controller providing at least a portion of a standing area, each removable foot pedal controller in wireless communication with at least one associated remote base unit. An actuator couples the movable platform to the base, the actuator structured and arranged to move the movable platform generally towards or away from the base. A flexible outer element substantially enclosing the adjustable standing platform, the flexible outer element structured and arranged to expand and contract as the movable platform moves relative to the base. An associated method of providing and using the adjustable standing platform is also provided.

A transport carriage for wings that are secured together, wherein the transport carriage comprises a chassis mounted on wheels, cradles mounted on positioning cylinders, support cylinders that each have a support mounted on the stem of the support cylinder, a central support having a frame and, for each wing, a rotatable lateral cradle, wherein the frame is movable vertically, for each wing, a lifting system with a mast and an arm, wherein each arm is movable vertically on the mast between a low position and a high position, and for each arm, at least two bearing points for the wing. The use of different movable elements allows good loading of the wings and makes it easier to move the wings thus loaded.

A lift device includes a base, a platform that is repositionable relative to the base between a fully raised position and a fully lowered position, a scissor assembly coupling the base to the platform, and a booster. The scissor assembly includes a scissor layer including a first scissor arm pivotally coupled to a second scissor arm, a pulley coupled to the scissor layer, a tensile member wrapped around the pulley, and an actuator configured to vary a working length of the tensile member such that the first scissor arm rotates relative to the second scissor arm to move the platform relative to the base. A booster is positioned to engage a portion of the tensile member and apply an upward force on the scissor assembly when the platform is in the fully lowered position.

The disclosure provides a battery swap platform, a battery swap station, and a battery swap method. The battery swap platform includes a parking mechanism, an accommodating mechanism, and an opening and closing mechanism. The accommodating mechanism is arranged below a vehicle parked on the parking mechanism and has an opening, and the opening and closing mechanism is arranged on the accommodating mechanism. When the opening and closing mechanism is in an open state, the opening of the accommodating mechanism can be opened. When the opening and closing mechanism is in a closed state, the opening of the accommodating mechanism can be closed, and the opening and closing mechanism and the parking mechanism form a vehicle passage path for allowing the vehicle to enter or leave the parking mechanism. In the battery swap platform provided according to the embodiment of the disclosure, a load-bearing function of the vehicle passage path is designed to be integrated to the opening and closing mechanism, so that the difficulty in load-bearing design of other apparatuses of the battery swap platform can be reduced.
