Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of forklift fork inspection, and more particularly to a high-efficiency intelligent inspection system for fork flatness. Background Technology

[0002] Forklift forks are usually configured with two sets, left and right. After long-term use, the left and right forks are prone to tilting. However, there is no effective detection device for the flatness of the left and right forks. They are all inspected by visual observation, which cannot accurately detect whether the forks are tilted. When the forks are tilted, goods are prone to falling off the forks when transporting them, causing losses and safety hazards. Therefore, it is necessary to inspect the forks. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the technical problem that goods can easily fall off the forks during transport when they tilt, causing losses and safety hazards, this invention provides a highly efficient and intelligent fork flatness detection system.

[0004] This invention is achieved using the following technical solution: a high-efficiency intelligent detection system for fork flatness, comprising a detection device body, the detection device body including a support frame, a support base fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support frame, and a rolling wheel connected to the support base; the detection device body is applied to the forks of a small forklift;

[0005] The main body of the testing device includes a lifting mechanism, and a flatness testing mechanism is connected below the lifting mechanism;

[0006] The flatness testing agencies include:

[0007] The motion rod is installed below the connecting rod;

[0008] Movable shaft;

[0009] First movable axis, the movable shaft is connected to the moving rod through the first movable axis; central axis, the central axis is located on the movable shaft; deflection shaft, the deflection shaft is connected to the movable shaft through the central axis; second movable axis, the second movable axis is located at the bottom end of the movable shaft; receiving rod, one end of the receiving rod is connected to the movable shaft through the second movable axis;

[0010] First leveling rod;

[0011] The second leveling rod is inclinedly connected to the end of the first leveling rod; the first shaft is movably connected to the top of the first leveling rod; the second shaft is movably connected to the top of the second leveling rod; the leveling plate is installed above the connection between the first and second leveling rods; and the leveling measuring ruler is installed above the leveling plate.

[0012] As the connecting rod is pulled upwards, the bottom end of the connecting rod is simultaneously pulled, causing the movable shaft connected to the top of the movable shaft to deflect. The top of the movable shaft deflects around the first movable axis, adjusting the tilt angle. The center of the movable shaft deflects synchronously around the central axis, causing the tops of the two sets of movable rods to tilt closer together. As the tops of the movable rods close together, the bottom ends of the two sets of movable rods separate at both ends. The bottom ends of the movable rods then drive the fork connecting rod to slide on the support plate, separating at both ends. Simultaneously, as the bottom ends of the two sets of movable rods separate, the movable rod drives the first leveling rod and the second leveling rod connected to it. The two leveling rods move synchronously to both ends. The tops of the first and second leveling rods tilt around the first and second axes, respectively. The first and second leveling rods remain horizontal, and a leveling gauge is placed on them. When the first and second leveling rods are horizontal, the pointer on the leveling gauge shows horizontal, indicating that the first and second leveling rods are horizontal. Since the bottom end of the moving rod is connected to the fork connecting rod, and the first and second leveling rods are connected to the inside of the moving rod, when the first and second leveling rods are horizontal, it means that the fork connecting rod is horizontally connected to the support plate, thus indicating whether the forks are tilted.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above scheme, the surface of the flatness measuring ruler is provided with a scale and a pointer, and the pointer inside the flatness measuring ruler deflects according to the balance state of the flatness measuring ruler.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, a fork connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the moving rod. The fork connecting rod is snapped onto the support plate, and a fork is connected to the outside of the fork connecting rod. The fork moves up and down on the fork connecting rod, and the fork connecting rod has a built-in lifting mechanism for the fork to control the lifting of the fork.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above plan, the enhanced mechanisms include:

[0016] Mounting rod, the mounting rod supports the entire lifting mechanism;

[0017] grip;

[0018] A steel cable, one end of which is connected to the handle; a first roller, on which the steel cable overlaps; a second roller, on which the steel cable overlaps, and the steel cable rolls on both the first and second rollers; a buckle, on which the other end of the steel cable is connected; a slider, connected below the buckle, with holes in it; a sliding rod, passing through the slider, on which the slider slides; a moving rod, connected inside the slider; and a connecting rod, connected below the moving rod.

[0019] When the flatness of the forks needs to be tested, the worker grasps the handle and pulls it. The handle pulls the steel cable, which then rolls on the first and second rollers. The bottom end of the steel cable is connected to a buckle, which pulls the buckle to lift synchronously. The buckle then pulls the slider to lift synchronously. The slider slides synchronously on the sliding rod, which in turn pulls the moving rod to lift synchronously. The moving rod then pulls the connecting rod to rise synchronously.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] This invention controls the first and second leveling rods to remain horizontal. When the pointer on the leveling detection ruler shows horizontal, it indicates that the first and second leveling rods are horizontal. Since the bottom end of the moving rod is connected to the fork connecting rod, and the first and second leveling rods are connected to the inside of the moving rod, when the first and second leveling rods are horizontal, it means that the fork connecting rod is connected to the support plate in a horizontal state, thus indicating whether the forks are tilted.

[0030] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] Please combine Figures 1-6 This embodiment proposes a high-efficiency intelligent detection system for fork flatness, including a detection device body 1, a support frame 2, a support base 3 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support frame 2, and a rolling wheel 4 connected to the support base 3; the detection device body 1 is applied to the forks of a small forklift.

[0033] The main body 1 of the detection device includes a lifting mechanism 5, and a flatness detection mechanism 6 is connected below the lifting mechanism 5;

[0034] Among them, the flatness testing agency 6 includes:

[0035] Movement rod 61, which is installed below connecting rod 59;

[0036] Movable shaft 62;

[0037] The first movable axis 63, and the movable shaft 62 are connected to the moving rod 61 through the first movable axis 63;

[0038] The central axis 64 is located on the movable shaft 62;

[0039] The deflection shaft 65 is connected to the movable shaft 62 via the central shaft 64;

[0040] The second movable shaft 66 is located at the bottom end of the movable shaft 62;

[0041] The receiving rod 67 has one end connected to the movable shaft 62 via the second movable shaft 66;

[0042] First leveling rod 68;

[0043] The second leveling rod 69 is inclinedly connected to the end of the first leveling rod 68; one end of the first leveling rod 68 is connected to the moving rod 61, and the other end of the first leveling rod 68 is connected to the first axis 610.

[0044] One end of the second leveling rod 69 is connected to another set of moving rods 61, and the other end of the second leveling rod 69 is connected to the second axis 611;

[0045] The first axis 610 is movably connected to the top of the first flat rod 68;

[0046] The second axis 611 is movably connected to the top of the second flat rod 69;

[0047] A leveling plate 612 is installed above the connection between the first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69.

[0048] A flatness measuring ruler 613 is installed above the flatness plate 612. The surface of the flatness measuring ruler 613 is provided with scales and a pointer. The pointer inside the flatness measuring ruler 613 deflects according to the balance state of the flatness measuring ruler 613.

[0049] The bottom end of the moving rod 61 is fixedly connected to the fork connecting rod 7, which is snapped onto the support plate 8. The fork 9 is connected to the outside of the fork connecting rod 7, and the fork 9 moves up and down on the fork connecting rod 7. The fork connecting rod 7 has a built-in lifting mechanism for the fork 9 to control the lifting of the fork 9.

[0050] As the connecting rod 59 is pulled upward, the bottom end of the connecting rod 59 is simultaneously pulled along the moving rod 61. The movable shaft 62 connected to the top of the moving rod 61 then deflects, with its top deflecting around the first movable axis 63 to adjust the tilt angle. The center of the movable shaft 62 deflects synchronously around the central axis 64. The top ends of the two sets of moving rods 61 then tilt towards each other. As the top ends of the moving rods 61 approach each other, the bottom ends of the two sets of moving rods 61 separate towards both ends. The bottom ends of the moving rods 61 then drive the fork connecting rod 7 to slide on the support plate 8, separating towards both ends. Simultaneously, as the bottom ends of the two sets of moving rods 61 separate, the moving rods 61 drive the first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 connected to them. The first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 move synchronously to both ends. The tops of the first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 deflect and tilt around the first axis 610 and the second axis 611, respectively. The first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 remain horizontal, and a leveling detection ruler 613 is placed on them. When the first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 remain horizontal, the pointer on the leveling detection ruler 613 shows that the first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 are horizontal, which indicates that the first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 are horizontal. Since the bottom end of the moving rod 61 is connected to the fork connecting rod 7, and the first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 are connected to the inside of the moving rod 61, when the first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 remain horizontal, it means that the fork connecting rod 7 is connected to the support plate 8 in a horizontal state, so as to know whether the fork 9 has tilted.

[0051] Upgrade mechanism 5 includes:

[0052] Mounting rod 51 supports the entire lifting mechanism 5;

[0053] Grip 52;

[0054] Steel cable 53, one end of which is connected to handle 52;

[0055] The first roller 54, the steel cable 53 is attached to the first roller 54;

[0056] The second roller 55, the steel cable 53 is attached to the second roller 55, and the steel cable 53 is attached to the first roller 54 and the second roller 55 to roll;

[0057] The other end of the steel cable 53 is connected to the buckle 56;

[0058] Slider 57 is connected to the lower part of buckle 56, and a hole is provided on slider 57;

[0059] A sliding rod 571 passes through a slider 57, and the slider 57 slides on the sliding rod 571.

[0060] The movable rod 58 is connected to the inside of the slider 57;

[0061] Connecting rod 59 is connected below the movable rod 58.

[0062] When the flatness of the fork 9 needs to be tested, the worker grasps the handle 52 and pulls on it. The handle 52 pulls the steel cable 53, which then rolls on the first roller 54 and the second roller 55. The bottom end of the steel cable 53 is connected to a buckle 56. The steel cable 53 pulls the buckle 56 to lift synchronously. The buckle 56 then pulls the slider 57 to lift synchronously. The slider 57 slides synchronously on the sliding rod 571. The slider 57 then pulls the moving rod 58 to lift synchronously. The moving rod 58 then pulls the connecting rod 59 to rise synchronously.

[0063] Specific implementation steps of this invention:

[0064] When the flatness of the fork 9 needs to be tested, the worker grasps the handle 52 and pulls the handle 52. The handle 52 pulls the steel cable 53, which then rolls on the first roller 54 and the second roller 55. The bottom end of the steel cable 53 is connected to the buckle 56. The steel cable 53 pulls the buckle 56 to lift synchronously. The buckle 56 pulls the slider 57 to lift synchronously. The slider 57 slides synchronously on the sliding rod 571. The slider 57 then pulls the moving rod 58 to lift synchronously. The moving rod 58 pulls the connecting rod 59 to rise synchronously.

[0065] As the connecting rod 59 is pulled upward, the bottom end of the connecting rod 59 is simultaneously pulled along the moving rod 61. The movable shaft 62 connected to the top of the moving rod 61 then deflects, with its top deflecting around the first movable axis 63 to adjust the tilt angle. The center of the movable shaft 62 deflects synchronously around the central axis 64. The top ends of the two sets of moving rods 61 then tilt towards each other. As the top ends of the moving rods 61 approach each other, the bottom ends of the two sets of moving rods 61 separate towards both ends. The bottom ends of the moving rods 61 then drive the fork connecting rod 7 to slide on the support plate 8, separating towards both ends. Simultaneously, as the bottom ends of the two sets of moving rods 61 separate, the moving rods 61 drive the first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 connected to them. The first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 move synchronously to both ends. The tops of the first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 deflect and tilt around the first axis 610 and the second axis 611, respectively. The first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 remain horizontal, and a leveling detection ruler 613 is placed on them. When the first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 remain horizontal, the pointer on the leveling detection ruler 613 shows that the first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 are horizontal, which indicates that the first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 are horizontal. Since the bottom end of the moving rod 61 is connected to the fork connecting rod 7, and the first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 are connected to the inside of the moving rod 61, when the first leveling rod 68 and the second leveling rod 69 remain horizontal, it means that the fork connecting rod 7 is connected to the support plate 8 in a horizontal state, so as to know whether the fork 9 has tilted.

[0066] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
