Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of forklift attachments, and in particular to a soft-pack forklift attachment. Background Technology
[0002] Forklifts are industrial handling vehicles, referring to various wheeled handling vehicles used for loading, unloading, stacking, and operating packaged goods. As industrial handling vehicles, forklifts are widely used in ports, railway stations, airports, freight yards, factory workshops, warehouses, distribution centers, and other locations for loading, unloading, and handling palletized goods in ship holds, truck beds, and containers. They are indispensable equipment in palletized transport.
[0003] There are many types of forklifts, but their basic structures are similar, mainly consisting of an engine, chassis (running mechanism), body, lifting mechanism, hydraulic system, and electric system. The lifting mechanism primarily consists of a mast and forks. The mast is hinged to the front axle support and is composed of a set of parallel steel frames and a sliding bracket that holds the forks in place. The forks are two steel forks bent at 90 degrees, mounted on the sliding bracket, and are used to carry materials.
[0004] Forklift attachments include soft-pack clamps, which can safely and efficiently handle various forms of soft-pack materials, such as cotton, textiles, wool, pulp, waste paper, hay, and industrial scraps.
[0005] However, the horizontal clamping method of soft-pack clamps is only suitable for some lighter goods. It is difficult to move heavier goods by clamping them.
[0006] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the common soft-pack clips are only suitable for some lightweight goods that are packaged in soft packaging, and their applicability is limited. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this application is to provide a soft-pack forklift attachment that can be used for handling various types of goods.
[0008] The technical solution of the soft-pack clamp forklift attachment provided in this application is as follows: A soft-pack clamp forklift attachment includes a mounting frame, wherein two first rotating platforms are arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction on one side of the mounting frame, and a first rotating drive member capable of driving the first rotating platform to rotate in a vertical plane is connected to one side of the first rotating platform.
[0009] Each of the two first rotary tables is provided with a clamping assembly on one side, and the clamping assembly includes a first clamping plate, and the two first clamping plates are arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction;
[0010] The first rotating platform is provided with a first slide rail, the length direction of the first slide rail is horizontal, a first slider is provided on one side of the first clamping plate, the first slider is slidably engaged with the first slide rail, and a first driving member is provided on the first clamping plate that can drive the first clamping plate to slide along the first slide rail.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting bracket is used for mounting forklift attachments to the forklift. The first clamping plates in the two clamping assemblies are arranged opposite each other, and each first clamping plate can move horizontally along the corresponding first slide rail and corresponding first driving member, thereby enabling the two first clamping plates to move closer to or further away from each other, realizing the function of soft clamping.
[0012] Based on this, the clamping assembly is installed onto the corresponding first rotating platform. The first rotating platform rotates under the action of the first rotating drive, allowing the length direction of the first slide rail to change between the horizontal and vertical directions. When the length direction of the first slide rail is horizontal, the two first clamping plates can move closer together, equivalent to a soft-pack clamp; when the length direction of the first slide rail is vertical, the first clamping plates can move vertically, equivalent to forks, and can bear heavier loads. This configuration allows the forklift attachment to change the direction of the first clamping plates according to the type of goods, thereby enabling the handling of different goods and increasing the applicability of the forklift attachment.
[0013] Optionally, the first slide rail includes a first slide groove, the first slider is inserted into the first slide groove and the first slider is slidably connected to the inner sidewall of the first slide groove;
[0014] A first reinforcing component is provided between the first slide rail and the first slider. The first reinforcing component includes a first locking groove, which is formed on the inner wall of the first slide rail. A second locking groove is formed on the side wall of the first slider, and the first locking groove communicates with the second locking groove.
[0015] A locking pin is slidably inserted into the second locking groove. A reinforcing spring is provided between one side of the locking pin and the bottom of the second locking groove. The two ends of the reinforcing spring respectively abut against the locking pin and the bottom of the second locking groove.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the first reinforcing component is configured such that when the first slider slides within the corresponding first groove, the locking pin can abut against the side wall of the first slider under the resistance of the reinforcing spring. When the first reinforcing groove and the second reinforcing groove are connected, the reinforcing spring automatically inserts the locking pin into the second reinforcing groove, at which point the locking pin is located between the second and first reinforcing grooves. When the first slide rail moves to a vertical position under the drive of the first rotary table, the locking pin can engage between the first slider and the first slide rail, increasing the connection between the first clamping plate and the first slide rail, and preventing the first clamping plate from slipping off the first slide rail when carrying a large amount of goods.
[0017] Optionally, a first guide surface is provided on one inner wall of the first locking groove along the length direction of the first slide rail, and a second guide surface is provided on one end face of the locking post along the length direction of the first slide rail. The first guide surface and the second guide surface are arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the first slide rail, and both the first guide surface and the second guide surface are inclined surfaces and are arranged in cooperation with each other.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first guide surface and the second guide surface are in contact with each other, the first slider can slide along the length direction of the second slide rail under the action of the first driving member. Then, under the action of the first guide surface, the locking post will be automatically pressed into the second locking groove. At this time, the lock between the first slider and the first slide rail is released, and the first clamping plate can be slid off the first slide rail to achieve disassembly.
[0019] Optionally, the clamping assembly further includes a second clamping plate, which is arranged parallel to the first clamping plate.
[0020] A second rotating platform is provided on one side of the second clamping plate, a second slide rail is provided on the second rotating platform, a second slider is provided on one side of the second clamping plate, the second slider slides in cooperation with the second slide rail, and a second driving member is provided on the second clamping plate that can drive the second clamping plate to slide along the second slide rail.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping assembly is also provided with a second clamping plate. The second clamping plate can slide on the second rotating table through the cooperation of the second slide rail and the second slider. The second driving component can realize the automatic movement of the second clamping plate. On the one hand, when the second clamping plate moves to fit with the first clamping plate, the second clamping plate can increase the thickness of the first clamping plate, thereby increasing the strength of the first clamping plate. On the other hand, when the second clamping plate moves away from the corresponding first clamping plate, the gap between the first clamping plate and the corresponding second clamping plate can clamp the goods. At this time, the first clamping plate and the corresponding second clamping plate are equivalent to a soft bag clamp.
[0022] Optionally, the second rotary table includes a second fixed plate and a second rotating plate. A second rotary drive member (55) capable of driving the second rotating plate to rotate is provided on one side of the second rotating plate. The second rotary drive member is mounted on the second fixed plate, and the second slide rail is disposed on the second rotating plate.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the second rotation drive on the second rotating platform enables the length direction of the second slide rail to change between the horizontal and vertical directions, and in conjunction with the first rotation drive, it can change the relative position between the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate.
[0024] During this process, when the second clamping plate is attached to the first clamping plate, the thickness of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate can be increased, thereby increasing the strength of the first clamping plate.
[0025] When the first and second clamps are perpendicular to each other, the possibility of goods falling from both sides in the horizontal direction can be reduced, and the stability of goods during the handling process can be increased.
[0026] When the second clamping plate is positioned opposite the first clamping plate, the gap between the first and second clamping plates can hold the goods, increasing the stability of the goods during handling.
[0027] By changing the positional relationship between the first clamping plate and the corresponding second clamping plate, different goods can be transported.
[0028] Optionally, the second rotary table and the first clamping plate are connected to each other in the horizontal direction, and the first slider is connected to the second rotary table.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the second rotary table and the first clamping plate are connected to each other, so that the first driving member can simultaneously drive the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate to move synchronously along the direction of the first slide rail, thereby not affecting the function of the first clamping plate in achieving soft bag clamping.
[0030] Optionally, a second reinforcing component is provided between the second rotating plate and the second fixed plate. The second reinforcing component includes a reinforcing groove, which is an annular groove and the central axis of the reinforcing groove is the central axis of rotation of the second rotating plate. The reinforcing groove is opened on the side of the second rotating plate facing the second fixed plate.
[0031] The second fixing plate is provided with a reinforcing column, which is slidably inserted into the reinforcing groove;
[0032] The reinforcing groove includes a limiting groove, and the reinforcing column includes a limiting column. The limiting column is slidably inserted into the limiting groove, and one end face of the limiting column facing the second fixing plate abuts against the inner wall of the limiting groove.
[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the second reinforcing component is configured such that the reinforcing groove is an annular groove, and the reinforcing column slides in the reinforcing groove, so as not to affect the rotation between the second rotating plate and the second fixed plate; the limiting column is inserted into the limiting groove, and the end face of the limiting column facing the second reinforcing plate abuts against the inner wall of the limiting groove, thereby increasing the connection strength between the second reinforcing plate and the second rotating plate.
[0034] Optionally, a flipping assembly is provided between the mounting bracket and the first rotating platform. The flipping assembly includes a flipping plate, the upper end of which is rotatably connected to the upper end of the first rotating platform. A flipping drive is provided between the flipping plate and the first rotating platform, which can push the flipping plate away from the first rotating platform. The two ends of the flipping drive are rotatably connected to the flipping plate and the first rotating platform, respectively.
[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the flipping component allows the lower end of the first rotating table to move away from the flipping plate under the drive of the flipping drive component, while the upper end of the flipping plate is rotatably connected to the upper end of the first rotating table, thereby enabling the first rotating table to tilt upwards and flip. At this time, the first clamping plate is tilted upwards, which facilitates the handling of columnar or roller-shaped goods.
[0036] Optionally, the flip plate is provided with an arc-shaped insertion plate on the side facing the first rotating platform, and the first rotating platform is provided with an arc-shaped insertion groove on the side facing the flip plate. The arc-shaped insertion plate is inserted into the arc-shaped insertion groove, and when the first rotating platform and the flip plate move away from each other, the arc-shaped insertion plate slides against the inner wall of the arc-shaped insertion groove.
[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, the combination of the arc-shaped insertion slot and the arc-shaped insertion plate can increase the connection strength between the first rotary table and the flipping plate without affecting the movement of the first rotary table and the flipping plate.
[0038] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0039] 1. The arrangement of the first clamping plate, the first slide rail, and the first rotating platform forms a soft-pack clamp between the two first clamping plates. At the same time, under the action of the first rotating platform, the first clamping plate forms a fork that moves in the vertical direction, enabling the first clamping plate to handle a variety of goods and increasing the applicability of the soft-pack clamp forklift attachment.
[0040] 2. The second clamping plate, the second slide rail, and the second rotating platform, in conjunction with the first clamping plate, can increase the stability of the goods held by the first clamping plate.
[0041] 3. The flip-up assembly allows the first clamp to tilt upwards at an angle, making it easier to handle cylindrical or roller-shaped goods and increasing the applicability of the soft-pack forklift attachment. Attached Figure Description

[0059] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 6 This application will be described in further detail below.
[0060] A soft-pack clamp forklift attachment, as described in the reference Figure 1 The system includes a mounting frame 1, with two first rotating platforms 2 arranged along one side of the mounting frame 1 in the thickness direction. The two first rotating platforms 2 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction. Each first rotating platform 2 has a clamping assembly 3 mounted on the side away from the mounting frame 1. The clamping assembly 3 includes a first clamping plate 31, the length direction of which is along the thickness direction of the first rotating platform 2. The first clamping plate 31 is slidably connected to the first rotating platform 2 in the horizontal direction. A first driving member 4 is connected to the first clamping plate 31, and the first driving member 4 is arranged in the horizontal direction. The first driving member 4 is a hydraulic cylinder. Thus, the mounting frame 1 enables the installation of forklift attachments between the forklift and the frame. Under the drive of the corresponding first driving member 4, the first clamping plates 31 in the two clamping assemblies 3 can move closer to or further away from each other in the horizontal direction. At this time, the cooperation of the two first clamping plates 31 can achieve the function of soft clamping.
[0061] Reference Figure 1 and reference Figure 2 The first rotating platform 2 includes a first rotating plate 21, and a first clamping plate 31 is vertically disposed on the first rotating plate 21. A plurality of first slide rails 22 are disposed on one side of the first rotating plate 21. The length direction of the first slide rails 22 is arranged horizontally, and the plurality of first slide rails 22 are spaced apart vertically. A plurality of first sliders 32 are disposed on the side of the first clamping plate 31 near the first rotating plate 21. The length direction of the first sliders 32 is arranged along the length direction of the first slide rails 22, and the plurality of first sliders 32 are spaced apart vertically. The first sliders 32 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the first slide rails 22, and the first sliders 32 slide in cooperation with the corresponding first slide rails 22, so that the first clamping plate 31 can slide horizontally on the first rotating plate 21.
[0062] The first rotating platform 2 also includes a first fixed plate 23, which is connected to the first rotating plate 21 along its own thickness direction. The first rotating plate 21 is located on the side of the first fixed plate 23 away from the mounting bracket 1. A first mounting groove 24 is provided on the first fixed plate 23. The opening of the first mounting groove 24 is located on the side of the first fixed plate 23 near the first rotating plate 21. A first rotating drive component 25 is installed in the first mounting groove 24. The first rotating drive component 25 is a rotating hydraulic cylinder. The first rotating drive component 25 is fixedly installed on the first fixed plate 23 and the driving end of the first rotating drive component 25 is fixedly connected to the first rotating plate 21. Thus, under the action of the first rotating drive component 25, the first rotating plate 21 can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the length direction of the first slide rail 22 to rotate in the vertical and horizontal directions.
[0063] When the length direction of the first slide rail 22 is set horizontally, the two first clamping plates 31 are opposite each other in the horizontal direction. At this time, the two first clamping plates 31 can move closer or further away from each other under the action of the corresponding first driving member 4 to realize the function of soft clamping. When the length direction of the first slide rail 22 is set vertically, the first clamping plates 31 can move vertically under the action of the first driving member 4 to realize the function of forks and realize the handling of heavier goods.
[0064] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clamp assembly 3 also includes a second clamping plate 33. The thickness direction of the second clamping plate 33 is along the thickness direction of the first clamping plate 31, and the second clamping plate 33 and the first clamping plate 31 are in close contact. A second rotating platform 5 is provided on the side of the second clamping plate 33 near the mounting bracket 1. The second rotating platform 5 and the first clamping plate 31 are connected to each other along the length direction of the first slide rail 22, and one side of the second rotating platform 5 is connected to the first slider 32. Thus, the first driving member 4 can drive the first clamping plate 31 to move, and at the same time, the first clamping plate 31 can drive the second rotating platform 5 to move along the direction of the first slide rail 22, thereby driving the second clamping plate 33 and the first clamping plate 31 to slide synchronously along the direction of the first slide rail 22. Since the first clamping plate 31 and the second clamping plate 33 are in close contact and move synchronously, the second clamping plate 33 can increase the thickness of the first clamping plate 31, thereby increasing the strength of the first clamping plate 31.
[0065] The second rotating platform 5 includes a second rotating plate 51, a second clamping plate 33 disposed on the second rotating plate 51, and a plurality of second slide rails 52 arranged horizontally on the second rotating plate 51. The length direction of the second slide rails 52 is the same as that of the first slide rail 22, and the plurality of second slide rails 52 are spaced apart vertically. A plurality of second sliders 34 are disposed on the side of the second clamping plate 33 near the second rotating plate 51, and the plurality of second sliders 34 are spaced apart vertically. The second sliders 34 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the second slide rails 52 and slide in cooperation with each other. Thus, the second clamping plate 33 can slide on the second rotating plate 51 along the length direction of the second slide rails 52.
[0066] A second driving member 6 is connected to the second clamping plate 33. The second driving member 6 is disposed on the second rotating plate 51. The second driving member 6 is a hydraulic cylinder. The second driving member 6 drives the second clamping plate 33 to move along the second slide rail 52 along the length direction of the second slide rail 52. Thus, the arrangement of the second driving member 6 can make the second clamping plate 33 move away from or closer to the corresponding first clamping plate 31. Thus, the first clamping plate 31 and the corresponding second clamping plate 33 can also realize the function of soft bag clamping, so that the first clamping plate 31 and the corresponding second clamping plate 33 can clamp and hold smaller goods.
[0067] The second rotating stage 5 includes a second fixed plate 53, which is connected to the second rotating plate 51 along its thickness direction. The second fixed plate 53 is disposed between the second rotating plate 51 and the mounting bracket 1. A second mounting groove 54 is provided on the second fixed plate 53, with the opening of the second mounting groove 54 located on the side of the second fixed plate 53 near the second rotating plate 51. A second rotating drive component 55 is installed in the second mounting groove 54. The second rotating drive component 55 is a rotary hydraulic cylinder. The second rotating drive component 55 is fixedly installed on the second fixed plate 53, and the driving end of the second rotating drive component 55 is fixedly connected to the second rotating plate 51. Thus, under the action of the second rotating drive component 55, the second rotating plate 51 can be driven to rotate, thereby enabling the length direction of the second slide rail 52 to change between the horizontal and vertical directions.
[0068] Driven by the second rotary drive 55, when the length direction of the second slide rail 52 is set horizontally, the second clamping plate 33 can fit together with the corresponding first clamping plate 31 to strengthen the strength of the first clamping plate 31. At the same time, the second clamping plate 33 can form a soft-pack clamp with the corresponding first clamping plate 31 under the action of the second drive 6. When the length direction of the second slide rail 52 is set vertically, when the two first clamping plates 31 are used as soft-pack clamps to hold the goods, the second clamping plate 33 can support the goods on the lower side of the corresponding first clamping plate 31, increasing the stability of the goods handling.
[0069] Reference Figure 2A flipping assembly 7 is provided between the first fixed plate 23 and the mounting frame 1. The flipping assembly 7 includes a flipping plate 71. The flipping plate 71 is connected to the first fixed plate 23 and the mounting frame 1 on both sides along its own thickness direction. The flipping plate 71 and the first fixed plate 23 are in close contact with each other. Two opposing rotating connecting plates 711 are provided on both sides of the upper horizontal direction of the flipping plate 71. The rotating connecting plates 711 have through holes in the horizontal direction. Rotating connecting posts 231 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the first fixed plate 23. The two rotating connecting posts 231 are coaxially arranged and their axes are arranged in the horizontal direction. The rotating connecting posts 231 are inserted into the through holes on the corresponding rotating connecting plates 711, so that the flipping plate 71 and the first fixed plate 23 are rotatably connected.
[0070] Both sides of the lower end of the tilting plate 71 are provided with tilting drive components 72, which are hydraulic cylinders. The two ends of the tilting drive components 72 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the tilting plate 71 and the side wall of the first fixed plate 23, respectively. Thus, driven by the tilting drive components 72, the first fixed plate 23 can be tilted counterclockwise around the rotating connecting column 231 as the axis. When the first slide rail 22 and the second slide rail 52 are both in the vertical direction, driven by the tilting drive components 72, the first slide rail 22 and the second slide rail 52 will be tilted in the vertical direction, and the corresponding first clamping plate 31 and the second clamping plate 33 will be tilted upward in the length direction, so that they are not easy to roll off when handling columnar or roller-shaped goods.
[0071] An arc-shaped insertion plate 73 is provided on the side of the flip plate 71 facing the first fixed plate 23. The arc direction of the arc-shaped insertion plate 73 is set along the flipping direction of the first fixed plate 23. An arc-shaped insertion groove 74 is provided on the side of the first reinforcing plate facing the flip plate 71. The arc direction of the arc-shaped insertion groove 74 is set along the flipping direction of the first fixed plate 23, and the arc-shaped insertion plate 73 and the arc-shaped insertion groove 74 are interlocked. The inner wall of the arc-shaped insertion plate 73 and the arc-shaped insertion groove 74 are slidably connected. Under the drive of the flipping drive member 72, the arc-shaped insertion plate 73 can slide within the arc-shaped insertion groove 74. The cooperation between the arc-shaped insertion plate 73 and the arc-shaped insertion groove 74 ensures the rotation between the flip plate 71 and the first fixed plate 23 while increasing the connection strength between the flip plate 71 and the first fixed plate 23.
[0072] Reference Figure 3 A first reinforcing component 8 is provided between the first fixed plate 23 and the first rotating plate 21, and a second reinforcing component 9 is provided between the second fixed plate 53 and the second rotating plate 51. The first reinforcing component 8 and the second reinforcing component 9 have the same structure.
[0073] Reference Figure 2 and reference Figure 4The second reinforcing component 9 includes several reinforcing grooves 91, each of which is an arc-shaped groove. The central axis of the arc of the reinforcing groove 91 is the rotational central axis of the second rotating plate 51. Several reinforcing grooves 91 are concentrically opened on one side of the second rotating plate 51 facing the second fixed plate 53. Each reinforcing groove 91 includes a sliding groove 911 and a limiting groove 912. The sliding groove 911 is opened on one side of the second rotating plate 51, and the limiting groove 912 is opened at the bottom of the sliding groove 911 away from the second fixed plate 53. The opening width of the sliding groove 911 is smaller than the opening width of the limiting groove 912, so that the sidewall of the reinforcing groove 91 is stepped.
[0074] Reference Figure 4 The reinforcement assembly also includes a reinforcement column 92, which is vertically disposed on the side of the second fixed plate 53 facing the second rotating plate 51. The reinforcement column 92 includes a sliding column 921 and a limiting column 922. The limiting column 922 is coaxially disposed with the sliding column 921 and is disposed on the side of the sliding column 921 away from the second fixed plate 53. The diameter of the limiting column 922 is larger than the diameter of the sliding column 921, so that the side wall of the reinforcement column 92 is stepped.
[0075] Reference Figure 4 The reinforcing columns 92 and the limiting grooves 912 are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the reinforcing columns 92 are inserted into the corresponding limiting grooves 912. The side wall of the sliding column 921 is slidably connected to the side wall of the sliding groove 911, and the limiting column 922 is slidably connected to the side wall of the limiting groove 912. The end face of the limiting column 922 near the second fixed plate 53 abuts against the inner wall of the limiting groove 912 near the second fixed plate 53. Thus, the arrangement of the reinforcing columns 92 and the reinforcing grooves 91 increases the connection strength between the second fixed plate 53 and the second rotating plate 51 without affecting the rotation between them.
[0076] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 A first reinforcing component 10 is provided between the first slide rail 22 and the first slider 32, and a second reinforcing component 11 is provided between the second slide rail 52 and the second slider 34. The first reinforcing component 10 and the second reinforcing component 11 have the same structure.
[0077] Reference Figure 5The first reinforcing component 10 includes a first locking groove 101 and a second locking groove 102. The first slide rail 22 includes a first slide groove 221. The first locking groove 101 is formed on the inner sidewall of the first slide groove 221, and the second locking groove 102 is formed on the sidewall of the first slider 32. Both the first locking groove 101 and the second locking groove 102 are elongated grooves, and their length directions are both along the length direction of the first slide rail 22. The length of the first locking groove 101 is greater than the length of the second locking groove 102. When the first slider 32 slides on the first slide rail 22, the first locking groove 101 and the second locking groove 102 can communicate with each other.
[0078] A locking pin 103 is inserted into the second locking groove 102. The locking pin 103 and the second locking groove 102 are slidably inserted into each other. A reinforcing spring 104 is provided between the locking pin 103 and the bottom of the second locking groove 102. The two ends of the reinforcing spring 104 respectively abut against the locking pin 103 and the bottom of the second locking groove 102 facing the locking pin 103. When the locking pin 103 is driven by the reinforcing spring 104, it can move between the first locking groove 101 and the second locking groove 102 to achieve locking between the first slider 32 and the first slide rail 22.
[0079] When the length of the first slide rail 22 is set vertically, one end of the locking pin 103 abuts against the inner wall of the lower side of the first locking groove 101, so that the locking pin 103 can limit the first slider 32 in the vertical direction. On the one hand, it prevents the first slider 32 from slipping off the first slide rail 22 when the length of the first slide rail 22 is vertical. On the other hand, when the first clamping plate 31 is used as a fork to transport goods, the locking pin 103 can increase the support strength of the first slide rail 22 for the first clamping plate 31.
[0080] One inner wall of the first locking groove 101 along the length of the first slide rail 22 is a first guide surface 105, which is an inclined surface. One end face of the locking pin 103 along the axial direction is a second guide surface 106, which is also an inclined surface. The first guide surface 105 and the second guide surface 106 are arranged opposite each other along the length of the first slide rail 22, and their inclination angles are matched. When the first guide surface 105 moves towards the second guide surface 106, it abuts against the second guide surface 106, pressing the locking pin 103 into the second locking groove 102. At this time, the first slider 32 can be disengaged from the corresponding first slide rail 22, facilitating disassembly.
[0081] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: Under the action of the first driving member 4, the second driving member 6, the first rotary driving member 25, and the second rotary driving member 55, the first clamping plate 31 and the second clamping plate 33 can have the following five working states:
[0082] In the first case, the first clamping plate 31 and the corresponding second clamping plate 33 are attached to each other, and the two first clamping plates 31 are arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction. In this case, the two first clamping plates 31 are equivalent to soft bag clamps.
[0083] The second type is where the first clamping plate 31 and the corresponding second clamping plate 33 are fitted together, the two first clamping plates 31 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction and move in the vertical direction, and in this case the two first clamping plates 31 are equivalent to forks.
[0084] The third type is where the first clamping plate 31 and the corresponding second clamping plate 33 are separated from each other, and the first clamping plate 31 and the corresponding second clamping plate 33 are arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction. In this case, each set of first clamping plates 31 and corresponding second clamping plates 33 can realize the function of soft bag clamping.
[0085] Fourthly, the first clamping plate 31 and the corresponding second clamping plate 33 are separated from each other, and the first clamping plate 31 and the corresponding second clamping plate 33 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. In this case, the first clamping plate 31 can act as a fork, while the corresponding second clamping plate 33 can reinforce the goods placed on the first clamping plate 31 and increase the stability of handling.
[0086] Fifthly, the first clamping plate 31 and the corresponding second clamping plate 33 are separated from each other. The two first clamping plates 31 are arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction, and the first clamping plate 31 and the corresponding second clamping plate 33 are perpendicular to each other. In this case, the second clamping plate 33 can bear the goods, while the first clamping plate 31 can clamp the goods, increasing the stability of the goods handling.
[0087] In addition to the five types mentioned above, the first clamping plate 31 can be tilted upwards by using the flipping component 7, which increases the stability of the transported goods and facilitates the transport of cylindrical or roller-shaped goods.

Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
