The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0029] The “first” and “second” mentioned in the present invention do not represent specific quantities and orders, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a widened AGV forklift in one embodiment of the utility model includes a main body 10, a widening module 20 and a cover plate 30;

[0031] The widening module 20 is detachably fixed to both sides of the main vehicle body 10;

[0032] The cover plate 30 is disposed on the top surfaces of the main vehicle body 10 and the widening module 20 .

[0033] By arranging a detachable widening module 20 on both sides of the main vehicle body 10, during the production process, when it is necessary to produce an AGV forklift of normal width, it is only necessary not to install the widening module 20 on both sides of the main vehicle body 10 during assembly; when it is necessary to produce a widened AGV forklift, it is only necessary to install the widening modules 20 on both sides of the main vehicle body 10 respectively before installing the cover plate 30, and then cover the main vehicle body 10 and the top surface of the widening module with the corresponding cover plate 30. In this way, there is no need to redesign the structure for the widened AGV forklift, and the widened AGV forklift and the AGV forklift of normal width can share the main vehicle body 10 with the same structure, thereby reducing the design cost and production cost of the AGV forklift.

[0034] Further, the widening module 20 includes a first support rod 21, a second support rod 22 and a plurality of third support rods 23;

[0035] One end of each of the third support rods 23 is connected to the first support rod 21 ; the other end of each of the third support rods 23 is connected to the second support rod 22 , and the first support rod 21 is detachably fixedly connected to the main vehicle body 10 .

[0036] The widening module 20 can be fixed to both sides of the main vehicle body 10 through the first support rod 21. As an optional implementation, the first support rod 21 and the main vehicle body 10 can be fixedly connected by screws. Threaded holes are reserved on the sides of the main vehicle body 10, and through holes are opened on the first support rod 21. The screws pass through the through holes on the first support rod 21 and are threadedly connected to the threaded holes on the main vehicle body 10. The first support rod 21 can be fixed to the sides of the main vehicle body 10, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the first support rod 21 and the main vehicle body 10. The screw connection has the advantages of firm connection and easy installation.

[0037] The third support rod 23 plays a role of widening, one end of which is connected to the first support rod 21, and the other end extends outward, so as to achieve a widening effect. By setting a plurality of third support rods 23, the load capacity of the widening module 20 can be improved. When the bottom of the pallet is pressed against the widening module 20, the widening module 20 provides support for the pallet through the plurality of third support rods 23. The second connecting rod 22 connects the ends of the third support rods 23 away from the main vehicle body 10 to improve the overall rigidity of the widening module 20.

[0038] Furthermore, the thickness of the third support rod 23 gradually decreases from one end connected to the first support rod 21 to the other end.

[0039] The third support rod 23 adopts a structure with different thicknesses at both ends, which can make the weight of the third support rod 23 smaller, which is beneficial to reducing the weight of the entire vehicle, so as to reduce the self-load of the AGV forklift; in addition, when the pallet and cargo are placed on the AGV forklift, the bottom of the pallet is usually pressed on the middle of the widening module 20 or the area of ​​the widening module 20 close to the side of the main vehicle body 10. Therefore, even if the third support rod 23 is thinner at the end close to the second support rod 22, its load-bearing capacity is not affected. Therefore, the third support rod 23 adopts a structure with different thicknesses at both ends, which can reduce the dead weight of the AGV forklift while ensuring sufficient load-bearing capacity, reduce the power consumption of the AGV forklift, and improve the endurance of the AGV forklift to a certain extent.

[0040] Furthermore, the main vehicle body 10 includes a first supporting portion 11, a second supporting portion 12, a third supporting portion 13 and a connecting portion 14;

[0041] The first support portion 11, the second support portion 12 and the third support portion 13 are arranged in parallel, and the first support portion 11, the second support portion 12 and the third support portion are all arranged on the same side of the connecting portion 14; the widening module 20 is respectively installed on the outer side of the first support portion 11 and the outer side of the third support portion 13.

[0042] The pallet currently used is usually provided with three longitudinal beams at the bottom, and the pallet is supported on the ground by the three longitudinal beams; in order to support the three longitudinal beams of the pallet when it is placed on the AGV forklift, the main vehicle body 10 is provided with a first support portion 11, a second support portion 12 and a third support portion 13. For a pallet of ordinary width, when it is placed on the AGV forklift, the three longitudinal beams of the pallet are supported by the first support portion 11, the second support portion 12 and the third support portion 13 respectively, so that the pallet placed on the AGV forklift can achieve the effect of being placed on the ground, and the AGV forklift is more stable when transporting the pallet; however, for a widened pallet, the space between the two outermost longitudinal beams of the pallet The spacing is greater than the maximum width of the first support portion 11 and the third support portion 13. At this time, in order to enable the widened pallet to be placed stably on the AGV forklift, a widened AGV forklift is required; the utility model installs widening modules on the outside of the first support portion 11 and the outside of the third support portion 13 respectively. Therefore, when the widened pallet is placed on the AGV forklift, the three longitudinal beams of the pallet are respectively supported by the widening module 20 installed on the outside of the first support portion 11, the second support portion 12 and the widening module 20 installed on the outside of the third support portion 13, so that the widened pallet can be placed stably on the widened AGV forklift, avoiding the widened pallet from tipping over due to lack of support from the bottom longitudinal beam.

[0043] Furthermore, the widening module 20 is symmetrically arranged on the first supporting portion 11 and the third supporting portion 13 .

[0044] The two widening modules 20 are symmetrically arranged on the first support part 11 and the third support part 13, which can achieve a widening effect. Moreover, the widened AGV forklift maintains a constant center of gravity due to the symmetrical widening modules 20, which can prevent the widened AGV forklift from tipping over.

[0045] Furthermore, the cover plate 30 includes a first plate body 31, a second plate body 32, a third plate body 33 and a fourth plate body 34;

[0046] The first plate body 31 covers the top surface of the first support portion 11 and the top surface of the widening module 20 fixed to the outer side of the first support portion 11; the second plate body 32 covers the top surface of the second support portion 12; the third plate body 33 covers the top surface of the third support portion 13 and the top surface of the widening module 20 fixed to the outer side of the first support portion 13; the fourth plate body 34 covers the top surface of the connecting portion 14.

[0047] The first plate 31 , the second plate 32 and the third plate 33 can cover the first support portion 11 , the second support portion 12 and the third support portion 13 respectively. The first plate 31 and the third plate 13 are independently installed structures, which is conducive to modular production.

[0048] Furthermore, the length of the first support rod 21 is greater than the length of the second support rod 22 .

[0049] Such an arrangement can allow more space for the first support rod 21 to be connected to the main vehicle body 10 , thereby improving the connection strength of the widening module 20 installed on the main vehicle body 10 .

[0050] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0051] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
