Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to the field of mechanical lifting devices for cars and vehicles in general.
- In particular, the invention relates to a locking and unlocking system for a lifting device.
- In prior art is present a wide variety of mechanical lifting devices useful to provide access to the underside of a vehicle.
- Such mechanical lifting devices normally provide a mechanism arranged to lift a support base, by hydraulic or pneumatic actuators. The mechanism can be "a parallelogram type" mechanism, comprising a four-bar linkage, or "a scissors type" mechanism, comprising two linear elements crossed to each other.
- Such lifting devices can also be permanently connected to the ground, normally used in the professional field, or be removable, most commonly used in the area of home and hobby.
- The latter kind of lifting devices is in strong commercial growth, since it entails significantly lower installation and maintenance costs than the lifting devices connected to the ground, as well as the possibility to place the device to your own pleasure, owing to contained encumbrances and weights.
- In
US2015076431A1 , for example, a system for lifting vehicles is shown comprising two portable lifting devices, having contained weight and encumbrance, with a four-bar linkage mechanism. - However, the portability of the object cannot reduce its safety, and it is necessary to adhere to the parameters imposed by the regulations to ensure the reliability of the mechanical components and the overall structure.
- In particular, one of the more critical aspects relates to the block the lifting device once the upper position is reached. In this position, in fact, all the weight of the vehicle burdens the mechanism which raises the base and it directly contrasts the force expressed by the hydraulic or pneumatic actuator. If the actuator loses suddenly pressure for a failure, the mechanism would close on itself, returning to the lower position and risking to cause substantial damage to people or things.
- For this reason, devices of block are generally provided arranged to provide redundancy in the security system. Such devices, in fact, mechanically block the mechanism, preventing it from closing on itself, even in case of actuator's failure. An example of such blocking device is shown for example in
US4848732A . - However, the blocking device shown in
US4848732A is mechanically complex and involves costs and dimensions not suitable for a portable lifting device. Furthermore, in this document it is provided that, for unlocking the mechanism, the user must approach the lifting device, making this operation as risky as it is to activate the blocking system. - In prior art, only remote electronic unlocking systems are provided. Such systems generally apply to non-removable and/or high-cost lifting devices.
- It is therefore a feature of the present invention to provide a system for lifting vehicles having contained encumbrance and weight.
- It is also a feature of the present invention to provide such a system that provides a blocking and unlock means of the mechanism that is not expensive, space-saving and safe for the user.
- Is still a feature of the present invention to provide such a system that provides a simultaneous use of more lifting devices by a same control unit and a same device actuating the unlock of the mechanism.
- These and other objects are achieved by a system for lifting vehicles by a ground, said system comprising at least one lifting device comprising:
- a support base;
- a mechanism arranged to pass between a lower position, where the support base is located close to the ground, and an upper position, where the support base is located at a predetermined distance from the ground;
- actuating means configured for actuating the mechanism to make it pass between the lower position and the upper position;
- a blocking means arranged to block the mechanism in the upper position, said blocking means comprising a lever having a first end hinged to the support base and a second end arranged to slide on a guide whereas the mechanism passes through between the lower position and the upper position, said second end arranged to enter in a block housing for blocking the mechanism in the upper position;
- an unlocking means arranged to deactivate the blocking means for unlocking the mechanism from the upper position;
- driving means arranged to operate the unlocking means by a remote position with respect to the or to each lifting device;
- This way, for operating the blocking means the user doesn't need to approach the lifting device. This avoids the risk that, also in case of failure of the actuator, the mechanism can closing on itself, damaging the user or the system itself.
- Furthermore, this locking means is easy to use, space-saving and lightweight, and it is low in cost. It is therefore particularly suitable for a portable lifting device.
- In particular, the actuating means comprises a hydraulic linear actuator.
- In particular, the percussion element is a linear actuator.
- Advantageously, the linear actuator is selected from the group consisting of:
- a pneumatic actuator;
- a hydraulic actuator;
- an electromechanical actuator;
- a combining the previous.
- In particular, the linear actuator is a pneumatic actuator and the driving means comprises a pneumatic duct arranged to connect the pneumatic actuator with a source of compressed air, said pneumatic duct comprising a valve element arranged to open and close the pneumatic duct, said valve element being arranged to be operated by a user located in remote with respect to the system for lifting vehicles.
- In particular, the unlocking means comprises also a spring arranged to keep the percussion element in the first position, said driving means arranged to counteract the spring for bringing the percussion element in the second position.
- The spring allows the percussion element to return in the first position immediately after the unlock of the mechanism.
- In particular, said driving means comprises:
- a Bowden cable comprising a metal wire connected to the percussion element;
- a mechanical control arranged to pull the metal wire for bringing the percussion element in the second position, said mechanical control being located remotely with respect to the lifting device.
- In particular, the mechanical control is a pedal.
- This unlocking means is easy to use, space-saving and lightweight, and it is low in cost. It is therefore particularly suitable for a portable lifting device.
- Advantageously, the mechanism is a "parallelogram type" mechanism and comprises a four-bar linkage.
- Alternatively, the mechanism is a "scissors type" mechanism and comprises two linear elements crossed and hinged to each other.
- Advantageously, two lifting devices are provided, said driving means arranged to concurrently operate the unlocking means of both the lifting devices, said driving means being concurrently operated by an electric control unit located remotely.
- This way, it is possible to obtain a big lifting power by means of easy components, which, singularly, have low weight and encumbrance.
