[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] See also Figure 1-Figure 7 , Figure 1-Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of a multi-forklift coordination device from different perspectives according to a specific embodiment of the present invention; Figure 4 for Figure 1 The main view; Figure 5 for Figure 1 A top view of Figure 6 for Figure 1 Bottom view of Figure 7 for Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the AA cross-section structure.

[0037] In one embodiment, the device for multi-forklift cooperation provided by the present invention includes a placement seat 10, a connection assembly and a force-bearing component 11. Among them, the placement seat 10 is used to place goods. The placement seat 10 can be in the shape of a flat plate with a simple structure. The cross-sectional shape of the placement seat 10 is not specifically limited, and the size of the placement seat 10 can be set accordingly according to the size of the article. The connection assembly is arranged below the placement seat 10, and has multiple layers of slots 20 stacked in sequence in the up and down directions for forklift insertion, that is, by arranging multiple slots 20 in the longitudinal direction, multiple forklifts can be inserted into different layers of slots 20, so as to cooperate together to lift objects exceeding the rated weight. The upper end of the force-bearing component 11 is connected to the placement seat 10, and the connection assembly is connected to the force-bearing component 11, and the load of the placement seat 10 can be transferred to the connection assembly through the force-bearing component 11. It should be noted that the multiple in this application refers to two or more.

[0038] By using the device for multi-forklift coordination provided by the present invention, the load of the placement seat 10 is transmitted to the connection component by the force-bearing component 11 when not being lifted, and the bottom end of the connection component can be placed on a force-bearing platform such as the ground. When it is necessary to lift objects exceeding the rated weight, multiple forklifts are used for coordination, and the multi-layer slots 20 arranged longitudinally in sequence on the connection component are respectively inserted. Since different forklifts can be inserted into the slots 20 at different heights, the problem of forks contacting and colliding when forking goods at the same height when traditional forklifts cooperate is avoided, and the force is more uniform. In addition, since the forks of different forklifts are isolated, even if there is a certain deviation in the position of the forks, the force is still transmitted through the contact point between the upper and upper forks of the connection component, and it is not easy to fall due to coordination errors, and it has a strong fault tolerance rate.

[0039] In one embodiment, the connection assembly includes a plurality of temperature rings 12 and a plurality of supports. Among them, the plurality of temperature rings 12 are arranged below the placement seat 10 in sequence, and the force-bearing component 11 is fixedly connected to each temperature ring 12; the plurality of supports are arranged one by one on the plurality of temperature rings 12, and the gap between two adjacent supports forms a slot 20, and each support can float up and down relative to the corresponding temperature ring 12 to adjust the height of the slot 20. As required, a slot 20 can also be formed above the topmost support, such as a gap between the support and the placement seat 10 to form a slot 20. When it is necessary to fork an object, when the fork is inserted into the slot 20, the support can float up and down accordingly according to the thickness of the fork to adapt to the smooth insertion of the fork. The above-mentioned setting enables the multi-forklift matching device to have automatic adaptability, and the height requirement of the fork during insertion is relatively small. Specifically, the temperature ring 12 at the bottom is relatively high and has a base for being placed on the ground. When it is not lifted, the load of the placement seat 10 is transmitted by the force-bearing component 11 to the temperature ring 12 with a base at the bottom, and the overall structure is more stable. Specifically, more forklifts can be coordinated by increasing the number of temperature rings 12 and supporting members.

[0040] In one embodiment, each support member is respectively arranged on the inner side of the corresponding temperature ring 12, and a first groove 21 is arranged on the inner circumference of each temperature ring 12, and an outer wing 14 is arranged on the outer circumference of each support member, and each outer wing 14 is inserted into the corresponding first groove 21, and a first elastic member 18 is respectively arranged between the upper end of each outer wing 14 and the top surface of the corresponding first groove 21 and between the lower end of each outer wing 14 and the bottom surface of the corresponding first groove 21. When it is necessary to fork the object, as the fork is inserted, the support member overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic member 18 of the layer and moves downward. When the load of the placement seat 10 is not lifted, it is transmitted to the temperature ring 12 at the bottom by the force-bearing component 11. At this time, the support ring 15 located in the middle can be freely adjusted automatically with forks of different thicknesses. The floating installation of the support member is realized by the above structure, and the structure is simple and reliable, and the coordination is ingenious. The first elastic member 18 can be specifically a spring or other elastic material or structural member that can provide a restoring force.

[0041] In one embodiment, the first elastic member 18 is fixedly connected to the support member and slidably cooperates with the wall surface of the first groove 21. Specifically, the first elastic member 18 located above the outer wing 14 has an upper end that slidably cooperates with the upper wall surface of the first groove 21, and a lower end that is fixedly connected to the outer wing 14; the first elastic member 18 located below the outer wing 14 has a lower end that slidably cooperates with the lower wall surface of the first groove 21, and an upper end that is fixedly connected to the outer wing 14. Then the support member can rotate relative to the temperature ring 12, so that before the forklift forks, the support member can be rotated in advance to facilitate cooperation with the fork. When the support member rotates relative to the temperature ring 12, the support member can drive the first elastic member 18 to slide along the side wall of the first groove 21 to prevent the first elastic member 18 from affecting the rotation of the support ring 15. Specifically, the first elastic member 18 is slidably connected to the first groove 21 through a slider.

[0042] In one embodiment, the support member is a support ring 15, and an inner wing 19 is provided on the inner circumference of the support ring 15. The device for multi-forklift cooperation also includes an adjustment component 13 provided in the support ring 15, the top end of the adjustment component 13 is connected to the placement seat 10, and the outer circumference of the adjustment component 13 is respectively provided with a second groove 22 corresponding to each support ring 15, each inner wing 19 is respectively inserted into the corresponding second groove 22, and a second elastic member is respectively provided between the upper end of each inner wing 19 and the top surface of the corresponding second groove 22 and between the lower end of each inner wing 19 and the bottom surface of the corresponding second groove 22. That is, the inner wing 19 and the outer wing 14 are respectively provided on the inner circumference and outer circumference of the support ring 15, the outer wing 14 is connected to the placement seat 10 through the temperature ring 12, and the inner wing 19 is connected to the placement seat 10 through the adjustment component 13, thereby ensuring the strength and stability of the device. The second elastic member cooperates with the first elastic member 18 to achieve the adjustment of the fork insertion angle. The arrangement of the adjusting block component can ensure that the inner and outer parts of the support ring 15 are subjected to uniform force.

[0043] In one embodiment, the second elastic member is fixedly connected to the support ring 15 and the wall surface of the second groove 22. Specifically, the second elastic member located above the inner wing 19 has its upper end fixedly connected to the upper wall surface of the second groove 22, and its lower end fixedly connected to the inner wing 19; the second elastic member located below the inner wing 19 has its lower end fixedly connected to the lower wall surface of the second groove 22, and its upper end fixedly connected to the inner wing 19. When the support ring 15 rotates relative to the temperature ring 12, the adjustment component 13 rotates synchronously with the support ring 15, and the second elastic member can still maintain a stable and reliable connection when the two rotate.

[0044] In one embodiment, the upper end of the outer peripheral surface of the support ring 15 is an inclined surface 23 that is inclined inward. Specifically, the cross section of the support ring 15 is a bilaterally symmetrical hexagon, and the upper end is inclined inward to form the inclined surface 23. The inner wing 19 and the outer wing 14 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the non-inclined section of the support ring 15. Through the setting of the inclined surface 23, when it is necessary to fork an object, the fork will overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 18 and the second elastic member and move downward through the inclined surface 23 of the support ring 15, so that the fork can be inserted. The inclined surface 23 can play a guiding role, facilitating the insertion of the fork.

[0045] In one embodiment, a plurality of adjusting components 13 are included, and the plurality of adjusting components 13 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the placement seat 10. The plurality of adjusting components 13 arranged equally can avoid too large angle deviation of the forks working together, ensure the safety of the operation, and the insertion angle of the forks can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjusting block component.

[0046] Furthermore, it includes a plurality of force-bearing components 11, and the plurality of force-bearing components 11 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the placement seat 10. The plurality of force-bearing components 11 are equally divided, so that the load of the placement seat 10 can be evenly transferred to the connection component, such as the temperature ring 12. Specifically, the plurality of force-bearing components 11 are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with each adjustment component 13. The force-bearing component 11 can specifically be a force-bearing rod, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom temperature ring 12, and the top end is connected to the placement seat 10. The adjustment component 13 can specifically be an adjustment block.

[0047] In one embodiment, a transition ring 16 is further included, which is arranged between the placement seat 10 and the connection assembly. The bottom surface of the placement seat 10 is provided with an annular slideway, the top of the transition ring 16 is slidably connected to the annular slideway, and the force-bearing component 11 is fixedly connected to the transition ring 16. Specifically, the annular slideway is evenly distributed with sliders 17 that are slidably connected thereto, the lower end of the slider 17 is fixedly connected to the transition ring 16, the top of the force-bearing component 11 is fixedly connected to the transition ring 16, and the force-bearing component 11 is fixedly connected to the temperature ring 12, so that the temperature ring 12 is indirectly connected to the transition ring 16 to rotate relative to the placement seat 10 with the transition ring 16. In the case where the adjustment component 13 is provided, the adjustment component 13 is fixedly connected to the transition ring 16, and is indirectly connected to the placement seat 10. When the transition ring 16 rotates relative to the placement seat 10 along the arc slideway, it drives the adjustment component 13, the force-bearing component 11 and the support ring 15 to rotate synchronously. In the case where the transition ring 16 is provided, a gap can be provided between the uppermost support member and the transition ring 16 to form a slot 20.
