Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transportation equipment technology, and in particular to a rotatable and adjustable side-shift fork. Background Technology

[0002] Forklifts are handling vehicles used for loading, unloading, stacking, and short-distance transport of goods, and are widely used in industrial production. Traditional forklifts typically have horizontally mounted forks. Driven by a hydraulic system, the two forks rise and fall synchronously along the mast, lifting or lowering goods. However, in actual transport, the forklift needs to be moved to the correct position, aligning the forks with the cargo chassis for proper handling. If the insertion direction is off, the goods may tip over, requiring the driver to readjust the insertion direction.

[0003] However, changing the fork insertion direction through the forklift body is too cumbersome. Moreover, most existing fork carriages are skeleton structures with a rough appearance and messy hydraulic cylinder lines. Not only is the appearance poor, but the drive structure is also prone to deformation and wear due to collisions with goods. When the forks move laterally, they wear heavily with the fork carriage body and generate a lot of noise. When loading and unloading goods in a confined space, the frame restricts the smooth loading and unloading process. All of these factors affect the lifespan of the equipment and maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Other features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and other accompanying drawings.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a rotatable and adjustable side-shifting fork. This invention features slidingly connected left and right forks on the fork carriage body, thereby making the spacing of the entire fork adjustable. Rollers are also provided on both sides of the left and right forks to reduce friction and noise during movement. The left and right forks are driven by solenoid valves, and the overall hydraulic cylinder pipeline is clear and simple. An angled telescopic component is provided between the fork carriage body and the rotating bracket, allowing the fork carriage body to rotate left and right. By rotating the fork carriage body, the angle at which the forks insert into the cargo chassis can be adjusted. Especially in narrow spaces, the lateral shifting direction of the loaded cargo can be adjusted, expanding the application scenarios of the fork.

[0006] This invention provides a rotatable adjustable-distance side-shifting fork, comprising a fork carriage body with a slidably connected fork assembly, a solenoid valve assembly disposed on the fork assembly, a rotating bracket rotatably connected to the fork carriage body, and a telescopic assembly disposed between the fork carriage body and the rotating bracket; guide protrusions extend from both the upper and lower sides of the fork carriage body, and a snap-fit ​​tooth is provided on the upper side of the fork assembly, the snap-fit ​​tooth being adapted to the guide protrusion on the upper side of the fork carriage body; a sliding groove is provided on the lower side of the fork carriage body, and a corresponding sliding block is provided on the fork assembly, allowing the fork assembly to slide along the sliding groove; the telescopic assembly is provided on both sides of the rotating bracket, the fixed end of the telescopic assembly being connected to the rotating bracket, and the movable end of the telescopic assembly being connected to the fork carriage body. The fork assembly, slidably connected to the fork carriage body, allows for adjustable fork spacing, adjusting the fork spacing according to the size of the load. A solenoid valve assembly drives the fork assembly to move laterally. A rotating bracket connects to the forklift body, allowing the fork carriage body, rotatably connected to the rotating bracket, to rotate freely. A telescopic assembly located between the fork carriage body and the rotating bracket controls the specific rotation angle of the fork carriage body. Engaging teeth and guide protrusions on the fork assembly are fitted to support the weight of the fork assembly. A sliding groove on the lower side assists fork movement and provides guidance. Self-lubricating copper sheets are installed inside the engaging teeth to effectively reduce friction and ensure proper sliding.

[0007] In some embodiments, the rotating bracket has a triangular cross-section, and the telescopic components are respectively disposed on both sides of the rotating bracket, with an included angle greater than 90 degrees between the two telescopic components. The triangular rotating bracket has a stronger load-bearing capacity, and the two telescopic components with the included angle extend outward and connect to the fork body, forming a triangular structure with the fork body. This balances the force and controls the fork body to swing left and right. Preferably, the included angle between the two telescopic components is 128 degrees.

[0008] In some embodiments, the upper and lower sides of the rotating bracket are provided with rotating engagement grooves, and a rotating shaft is provided in each rotating engagement groove. The upper and lower sides of the fork body are each provided with engagement holes. The rotating shaft passes through the rotating engagement groove and the engagement hole, and the engagement hole is rotatably connected to the rotating engagement groove via the rotating shaft. The engagement hole is engaged within the rotating engagement groove and fixed by the rotating shaft, allowing the fork body to rotate freely. Furthermore, the rotating engagement groove has upper and lower layers, improving its load-bearing capacity.

[0009] In some embodiments, a telescopic fixing hole is provided in the rotating engagement groove on the lower side of the rotating bracket, and a fixing bolt is provided in the telescopic fixing hole. The fixing end of the telescopic component is fixed by the fixing bolt. There are two telescopic fixing holes, which are located on both sides of the rotating shaft. The fixing end of the telescopic component has a hole, and the fixing end is fixed to the left and right sides of the rotating shaft in the rotating engagement groove by the fixing bolt, providing support for the telescopic component's extension and retraction. It should be understood that the telescopic fixing hole and the fixing bolt can also be provided in the rotating engagement groove on the upper side of the rotating bracket.

[0010] In some embodiments, limiting plates are provided on both sides of the rotating engagement groove on the upper side of the rotating bracket, and the engagement hole rotates between the two limiting plates. A reinforcing plate is vertically provided between the two rotating engagement grooves. The engagement hole rotates between the two limiting plates. Due to the restriction of the limiting plates, when rotating to the left or right to a certain extent, the side of the engagement hole will abut against the limiting plates, thus preventing further operation and achieving the function of limiting the rotation direction of the fork body. The reinforcing plate provided between the two rotating engagement grooves ensures the consistency of the operation of the upper and lower rotating engagement grooves during rotation. It should be understood that the limiting plate can also be provided in the rotating engagement groove on the lower side of the rotating bracket.

[0011] In some embodiments, a hook extends from the back side of the rotating bracket, and an adapter plate is provided below the hook. An adapter hole extends from the adapter plate. Both the adapter plate and the adapter hole are used for connection with the forklift body, while the hook serves as an auxiliary connection, balancing the force and reducing the need for bolts. After removing the bolts on the lower adapter hole, disassembly can be achieved by lifting the entire fork.

[0012] In some embodiments, the fork assembly includes a left fork and a right fork. The solenoid valve assembly includes a solenoid base and piston rods disposed on both sides of the solenoid base. The solenoid base is disposed on the fork carriage body, and the piston rods disposed on both sides of the solenoid base are respectively connected to the left fork and the right fork. The left fork and the right fork can move laterally. Both the left fork and the right fork can move, and under the control of the solenoid valve, the moving distance of the left and right forks can be precisely adjusted. Compared with the conventional method of having drive cylinders for both left and right forks, the solenoid valve assembly achieves the same distance adjustment function while simplifying the oil supply circuit.

[0013] In some embodiments, the fork carriage body is provided with an electromagnetic receiving groove, and the solenoid valve assembly is located within the electromagnetic receiving groove. A left protective plate extending outwards is provided on the left side of the left fork, and a right protective plate extending outwards is provided on the right side of the right fork. The solenoid valve assembly is partially mounted on the fork assembly and moves with the left and right forks. Therefore, the electromagnetic receiving groove is provided to accommodate the solenoid valve assembly, while also reducing the overall weight of the fork carriage body. The protective plates extending outwards on both sides of the fork assembly serve a limiting function, preventing the left and right forks from directly contacting the sides of the fork carriage body, thereby limiting the distance between the two forks and preventing them from separating excessively.

[0014] In some embodiments, rollers are provided on both sides of the left and right forks, and these rollers roll along the fork carriage body. The rollers assist in the movement of the forks, reducing friction and energy consumption.

[0015] In some embodiments, a connector is provided between the movable end of the telescopic component and the fork body. The connector has a connecting groove, and a fixing rod is provided within the connecting groove. The movable end of the telescopic component is positioned within the connecting groove via the fixing rod. The fixed end of the telescopic component is located within the connector for fixation. Preferably, under the action of the telescopic component, the fork body can swing left and right by 25 degrees.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] This invention features slidingly connected left and right forks on the fork carriage body, making the spacing of the entire fork adjustable. Rollers are also provided on both sides of the left and right forks to reduce friction and noise during movement. The left and right forks are driven by solenoid valves, and the overall hydraulic cylinder pipeline is clear and simple. An angled telescopic component is provided between the fork carriage body and the rotating bracket, allowing the fork carriage body to rotate left and right. By rotating the fork carriage body, the angle at which the forks insert into the cargo chassis can be adjusted. Especially in narrow spaces, the orientation of the load can be adjusted laterally, expanding the application scenarios of the forks.
