Two first gear mounting holes 327 are formed in the upper surface of the top plate 321, the two gears 36 are respectively mounted in the two first gear mounting holes 327, and rotating shafts of the gears 36 can rotate inside the first gear mounting holes 327. When the driving rack 341 and the driven rack 351 carry out transmission by means of the gears 36, the driving rack 341 and the driven rack 351 have the opposite movement directions and the same movement distances. The first load-bearing blocks 343 on the first adjusting member 34 and the second load-bearing blocks 353 on the second adjusting member 35 respectively enter the corresponding L-shaped grooves 20 from the corresponding inserting openings 22, and are simultaneously and respectively moved below the hitching lips 21 to be hitched to the hitching lips 21. When the adjusting assembly hangs the counterweights 2, the first load-bearing blocks 343 on the first adjusting member 34 and the second load-bearing blocks 353 on the second adjusting member 35 are respectively located below the hitching lips 21 on the two sides of the counterweights 2, and when the adjusting assembly moves upwards, the counterweights 2 are lifted upwards at the same time.


As shown in FIG. 12, the adjusting assembly is mounted on the upper surface of the top plate 321 of the main frame 32, the first adjusting member 34 and the second adjusting member 35 slide on the top plate 321 synchronously in a limited manner, and the two gears 36 are rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the top plate 321.
