  • Publication number: 20230258226
    Abstract: A mechanical limiting mechanism comprises a swivel base, a spring arm, a loading part and a reinforcing arm. The spring arm, the swivel base, the reinforcing arm and the loading part constitute a four-bar mechanism, the loading part moves up and down through the rotation of the spring arm, and a limiting is realized through a contact of the spring arm and the reinforcing arm. When the spring arm and the reinforcing arm drive the loading part to move downwards, after the spring arm is abutted against the reinforcing arm, the four-bar linkage mechanism cannot rotate, a mechanical limiting is realized, and the loading part can be prevented from falling. There is no need to add additional parts, and different height changes of the limiting are realized only by adjusting the size of the spring arm and/or the size of the reinforcing arm.
