Abstract

The present disclosure provides a linkage structure including an upper bracket and a lower bracket, wherein said upper bracket includes a first linkage unit, a second linkage unit, a middle piece and two sets of adjusting pieces, one end of said middle piece is connected to said first linkage unit and the other end is connected to said second linkage unit; wherein at least one adjusting piece in each set of adjusting pieces is connected rotatably to said first linkage unit or said second linkage unit. According to the linkage structure of the present disclosure, mechanical tilt can be achieved by driving two sets of adjusting pieces to move in coordination, it can ensure the accuracy of mechanical tilt, realize mechanical tilt at any angle, and the operation process is friendly and safe.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

an upper bracket and a lower bracket;
a first linkage unit comprising a first upper adjusting piece rotatably connected to a first point on the upper bracket and a first lower adjusting piece rotatably connected to a first point on the lower bracket;
a second linkage unit comprising a second upper adjusting piece rotatably connected to a second point on the upper bracket and a second lower adjusting piece rotatably connected to a second point on the lower bracket; and
a middle piece horizontally connecting the first linkage unit and the second linkage unit;
wherein at least one of the first upper adjusting piece or the first lower adjusting piece is connected rotatably to said first linkage unit, and at least one of the second upper adjusting piece or the second lower adjusting piece is connected rotatably to said second linkage unit; and
wherein the second point on the upper bracket is distal from the first point on the upper bracket, and the second point on the lower bracket is distal from the first point on the lower bracket.

2. The linkage structure according to claim 1 , wherein said first linkage unit has a first through hole for cooperating with said middle piece, said second linkage unit has a second through hole for cooperating with said middle piece, and said middle piece goes through said first through hole and said second through hole.

3. The linkage structure according to claim 2 , wherein said first through hole and said second through hole have threads therein, one side of said middle piece has threads for cooperating with the threads within said first through hole, and the other side of said middle piece has threads for cooperating with the threads within said second through hole.

4. The linkage structure according to claim 2 , wherein said first through hole has threads therein, said middle piece comprises a head and a rod, all or part of said rod has threads for cooperating with the threads within said first through hole, and said head is stuck on the outside of said second through hole.

5. The linkage structure according to claim 4 , wherein said linkage structure further comprises a first locking unit for locking said middle piece.

6. The linkage structure according to claim 1 , wherein said middle piece comprises multiple segments that can be moved relative to one another.

7. The linkage structure according to claim 6 , wherein said first linkage unit has a first blind hole or a third through hole, said second linkage unit has a second blind hole or a fourth through hole, one segment of said multiple segments cooperates with said first blind hole or said third through hole, and another segment of said multiple segments cooperates with said second blind hole or said fourth through hole.

8. The linkage structure according to claim 6 , wherein one segment of said multiple segments is connected fixedly on said first linkage unit, and another segment of said multiple segments is connected fixedly on said second linkage unit.

9. The linkage structure according to claim 6 , wherein said linkage structure further comprises a second locking unit for locking said multiple segments.

10. The linkage structure according to claim 1 , wherein said first linkage unit has only one rotation joint, at least one adjusting piece in one set of adjusting pieces is connected rotatably to the rotation joint on said first linkage unit, said second linkage unit has only one rotation joint, and at least one adjusting piece in the other set of adjusting pieces is connected rotatably to the rotation joint on said second linkage unit.

11. The linkage structure according to claim 1 , wherein said first linkage unit has two rotation joints, at least two adjusting pieces in one set of adjusting pieces are respectively connected rotatably to the two rotation joints on said first linkage unit, said second linkage unit has two rotation joints, and at least two adjusting pieces in the other set of adjusting pieces are respectively connected rotatably to the two rotation joints on said second linkage unit.

12. The linkage structure according to claim 1 , wherein each adjusting piece is of the same length, or at least two adjusting pieces in the same set are of different lengths, and two symmetrical adjusting pieces located in different sets are of the same length.

13. The linkage structure according to claim 1 , wherein, said upper bracket further comprises a third linkage unit for connecting fixedly to a first object, wherein said third linkage unit is connected rotatably to at least one adjusting piece in each set of adjusting pieces.

14. The linkage structure according to claim 1 , wherein said upper bracket further comprises a fourth linkage unit for connecting fixedly to a second object, wherein said fourth linkage unit is connected rotatably to at least one adjusting piece in each set of adjusting pieces.

15. The linkage structure according to claim 1 , wherein said linkage structure further comprises a fifth linkage unit for connecting said upper bracket and said lower bracket.
