Abstract

An X-linked lift mechanism having first links ( 3 ) and second links ( 4 ) constituting an X-linked mechanism between a base frame ( 1 ) and a lift frame ( 2 ). A drive member ( 11 ) is pivotally rotatably installed between the other lateral side portions of the second links and is connected with boost arms ( 12 ) and a drive arm ( 13 ). Guide members ( 15 ) are provided for guiding the moving members ( 14 ) installed at the ends of the boost arms. The guide members are installed on the other lateral side portions of the first links in the length direction. Also, a linear actuator is provided so as to extend between the other lateral side of the first links and the drive arm.

Claims (30)

1. An X-linked lift mechanism comprising:

a base frame;

a lift frame;

first links and second links connected with each other between the base frame and the lift frame at pivots in such a manner that the first and second links can be pivotally rotated, wherein first ends of the first links are pivotally rotatably fixed to the base frame, and first ends of the second links are pivotally rotatably fixed to the lift frame;

moving members installed at second ends of the first and second links, respectively;

guide members for guiding the moving members installed at the second ends of the first and second links, wherein the guide members are installed on the lift frame and the base frame, respectively;

a drive member pivotally rotatably installed between the second links, the drive member being provided with boost arms and drive arms;

moving members installed at ends of the boost arms;

guide members for guiding the moving members installed at the ends of the boost arms, the guide members being installed on opposing side portions of the first links in the length direction; and

a linear actuator extending the first links and the drive arms.

2. An X-linked lift mechanism comprising:

a base frame;

a lift frame;

first links and second links connected with each other between the base frame and the lift frame at pivots in such a manner that the first and second links can be pivotally rotated, wherein first ends of the first links are pivotally rotatably fixed to the base frame, and first ends of the second links are pivotally rotatably fixed to the lift frame;

first moving members installed at second ends of the first links, respectively;

second moving members installed at second ends of the second links, respectively;

guide members for guiding the first and second moving members installed at the respective second ends of the first and second links, the guide members being installed on the lift frame and the base frame, respectively;

a drive member pivotally rotatably installed between the second links, the drive member being provided with an interlocking arm, boost arms and drive arms;

third moving members installed at ends of the boost arms;

guide members, for guiding the third moving members, installed on opposing side portions of the first links in a length direction;

a linear actuator provided so as to extend between the first links and the drive arms;

an interlocking member pivotally rotatably installed between side portions of the first links;

boost arms and an interlocking arm connected with the interlocking member;

fourth moving members installed at ends of the boost arms;

guide members for guiding the fourth moving members that are installed at the ends of the boost arms, the guide members being installed on opposing side portions the second links; and

an interlocking link installed between the interlocking arm installed on the interlocking member and the interlocking arm installed on the drive member.

3. An X-linked lift mechanism, according to claim 1 , wherein the guide members installed on the opposing side portions of the first links are guide routes projected like crests.

4. An X-linked lift mechanism, according to claim 1 , wherein the boost arms and the drive arms connected with the drive member are disposed like a bell crank.

5. An X-linked lift mechanism, according to claim 2 , wherein the guide members installed on the opposing side portions of the first links are guide routes projected like crests.

6. An X-linked lift mechanism, according to claim 2 , wherein the boost arms and the drive arms connected with the drive member are disposed like a bell crank.
