The floating load-bearing adjusting device is mounted at the top of the vehicle body lifting column 10 and the spring supporting plate 5 is arranged below the floating load-bearing adjusting device, the spring 6 is mounted on the periphery of the spring supporting plate 5, the upper end of the limiting switch tip 8 is connected to the spring supporting plate 5 and on the low end side is provided with a load limiting switch 9.
The floating load-bearing adjusting device comprises a floating load-bearing block 1, a floating load-bearing block mounting base 2 and a floating connector. The floating load-bearing block 1 is mounted on the upper end of the vehicle body lifting column 10; the floating load-bearing block mounting base 2 is mounted below the floating load-bearing block 1. The floating load-bearing block is connected with the floating load-bearing block mounting base by a floating connector, and the floating load-bearing block 1 is in spherical fit with the floating load-bearing block mounting base 2. A floating gap is formed by the floating connector between the floating load-bearing block and the floating load-bearing block mounting base. The floating load-bearing block 1 can swing in random directions above the floating load-bearing block mounting base 2 according to the specific state of a steel plate in contact with the floating load-bearing block, and the load-bearing block floating gap between the both can be defined by the stop block 7.
The upper portion of the floating load-bearing block mounting base 2 is provided with a cylindrical hole, and the cylindrical hole is of a two-stage step-type structure from top to bottom, including a first step and a second step, the first step is used to restrict the downward movement of the spherical end of the spring supporting plate 5, and the second step is used to restrict the downward movement of the spring 6; the stop block 7 is fixed on the floating load-bearing block 1, the bottom part of the stop block 7 is probed into the interior of the cylindrical hole, and a stop block movement gap is provided between the bottom part of the stop block 7 and the cylindrical hole, which is used to restrict the floating load-bearing block 1 to swing within the stop block movement gap only, instead of swinging at a large angle;
The spring supporting plate 5 is of a T-shaped structure, including a spherical top end and a cylindrical supporting plate, the upper portion of the spherical top end is in point contact with the bottom end of the stop block 7, the lower end of the supporting plate is connected with the limiting switch tip 8, and the spring 6 is arranged at the periphery of the cylindrical supporting plate. Under the load, the spherical top end of the spring supporting plate 5 receives the pressure from the stop block 7, and successively presses the spring 6 and limiting switch tip 8 downward until the limiting switch tip 8 triggers the load limiting switch 9;
The disc spring guide post 4 is fixed to inside of the floating load-bearing block mounting base 2, and the disc spring guide post 4 is of an inverted T-shaped structure. The floating load-bearing block 1 is provided with an inverted T-shaped groove that is fit with the inverted T-shaped structure, the disc spring 3 is disposed between the inverted T-shaped structure and inverted T-shaped groove. There are two groups of the disc spring guide posts 4 and the disc springs 3, which are uniformly distributed on both sides of the spring supporting plate 5, to ensure that the floating load-bearing block 1 is uniformly stressed when the floating load-bearing block 1 is in contact with the steel plate. When there is no load on the disc spring 3, a load-bearing block floating gap is formed between the lower surface of the floating load-bearing block 1 and upper surface of the floating load-bearing block mounting base 2 through the spring force of the disc spring 3;
The load limiting switch 9 is mounted on the side of the limiting switch tip 8, and in a non-working state, the load limiting switch 9 and the limiting switch tip 8 are in a state of separation.

When operating under loading, the vehicle body lifting column 10 rises to contact with four steel plates of the vehicle side beam; the floating load-bearing block 1 mounted on the upper end of the vehicle body lifting column 10 is pressed down with the force. Since the floating load-bearing block 1 is in a spherical fit with the floating load-bearing block mounting base 2, the floating load-bearing block 1 can swing at any direction on the above of the floating load-bearing block mounting base 2 according to the state of the steel plate in contact, and complete the automatic alignment, and the upper surface of the floating load-bearing block is in full contact and coincides with the multiple steel plates. The floating load-bearing block 1 moves downwards, to sequentially drive the stop block 7, spring supporting plate 5 and limiting switch tip 8 to move downwards until the limiting switch tip 8 triggers the load limiting switch 9, and the lifting system automatically shuts down, to prevent excessive rise of the vehicle body lifting column 10 that may cause damage to the vehicle.
