    Abstract: A charging mechanism charges a stored-energy spring of a stored-energy spring mechanism. The charging mechanism contains a charging gear coupled to the stored-energy spring, an intermediate shaft coupled to the charging gear, an idler gear, a freewheel coupled to the idler gear, a locking mechanism for releasably locking the charging gear in a charged state of the stored-energy spring, and a dog clutch that couples the freewheel to the intermediate shaft to charge the stored-energy spring and uncouples same from the intermediate shaft in the charged state of the stored-energy spring. The dog clutch contains a first clutch block that is non-rotatably coupled to the intermediate shaft, a second clutch block connected to the freewheel, and a synchronizer ring disposed between the clutch blocks and is non-rotatably coupled to the first clutch block, the synchronizer ring is pressed against the second clutch block when the dog clutch is closed.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of stroke-controlling mechanism, and discloses a stroke-limiting control assembly and an operating method. The stroke-limiting control assembly comprises a housing and a film winding. A transmission input gear, a transmission gear, a guide wheel, and a spring box that can be rotated to reset by an elastic force are rotatably connected within the housing. When a moving component moves to an end of an upper stroke, a first metal needle abuts a first proximity switch. When the movable component moves to an end of a lower stroke, a second metal needle abuts against a second proximity switch. At least a stroke-limiting control assembly is provided which enables simplification of a product requiring stroke-limiting, such as an electric jack or an electric support leg, by arranging the proximity switches outside a screw nut lifting unit in the electric jack or the electric support leg.

    Abstract: A mechanism (100) for storing and releasing mechanical energy, which stores a low-power energy continuously inputted by a power transmission mechanism into an energy storage mechanism, and then controllably drives output in a high-power manner. The mechanism comprises a bracket (10), a supporting main shaft (11) arranged on the bracket (10), a driving gear (101) which sleeves over and rotates about the supporting main shaft (11), wherein arranged on one side of the driving gear (101) is at least one set of energy storage and release device (102). The mechanism (100) for storing and releasing mechanical energy is structurally simple and reliable. A light-weight high-efficiency drive mechanism may be fabricated by using a light-weight structural material or a composite material, which may store a large amount of low-power energy which is inputted continuously. The stored energy may then be released in a high-power manner by means of manual operations or smart electronic control, in order to drive equipment which require higher power to drive, or to be fed back to an original driving device by means of a designated transmission mechanism to be used as auxiliary kinetic energy. The mechanism features high operation efficiency and low energy consumption, and is thus high efficient in storing and releasing energy.
