Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of warehousing logistics, and in particular to a double-door forklift lifting system for picking and loading and unloading plates. Background Art

[0002] In the current wave of industrial upgrading, the warehousing and logistics industry is facing unprecedented changes and challenges. With the increasing requirements of the manufacturing industry for the efficiency of raw material processing, especially for the storage and handling of large and heavy goods such as panels, traditional operation methods can no longer meet the needs of efficient and accurate operations. As panels are indispensable basic materials for many industries such as construction, furniture, and machinery manufacturing, the efficiency and safety of their picking and loading and unloading processes have become key factors restricting production efficiency.

[0003] When picking plates, traditional forklifts often need to remove the entire stack of goods first, then pick the required plates from the stack, and put the remaining plates back in place after picking. This method is not only cumbersome to operate, but also very easy to cause scratches, deformation and even damage to the surface of the plates during repeated loading and unloading, which not only increases the cost of cargo loss, but also affects the quality of subsequent processing or use. In addition, the whole stack handling method has limitations in space utilization and is difficult to adapt to the needs of high-density storage, further limiting the storage capacity and operating efficiency of the warehouse.

[0004] More importantly, with the development of intelligent and automated technologies, warehousing systems are gradually transforming towards intelligence, requiring logistics equipment to have higher flexibility and precision. Traditional forklifts require frequent manual intervention when picking a single plate, which is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient, making it difficult to match the rapidly developing automated warehousing system.

[0005] In view of this, it is urgent to develop a forklift lifting system that can adapt to high-density storage environments, realize fast and accurate plate picking, and effectively reduce the risk of cargo damage. The system needs to have a high level of automation and intelligence, and can directly pick and load and unload target plates without destroying the overall structure of the plate stack, thereby significantly improving the efficiency and safety of plate handling operations and promoting the development of the warehousing and logistics industry to a higher level. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a double-gantry forklift lifting system for plate picking and loading and unloading, so as to solve the technical problem that traditional forklifts are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient when picking single plates, and may also increase the risk of cargo damage.

[0047] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the upper and lower telescopic forks in the lifting system are fixed on the frame integrated fork frame 5, the upper telescopic fork 2 is equipped with a material taking suction cup 3, the suction cup is provided with negative pressure by a vacuum pump 6, the upper and lower telescopic forks are driven by a motor, and the motor is driven and controlled by a telescopic fork driver 8, the cargo sensing sensor is used to detect the height of the cargo stacked on the lower telescopic fork, and the integrated fork frame 5 is driven to rise by the double-mast lifting mechanism 1. The entire double-mast lifting system is assembled on the double-mast vehicle body 7. During operation, after the forklift moves to the middle of two rows of shelves, the integrated fork frame 5 is driven by the double-door lifting mechanism 1 to rise until the height of the material-taking suction cup 3 from the ground is greater than the height of the top plate of the shelf from the ground. The upper telescopic fork 2 extends unilaterally to the top of the plate and then descends until the suction cup is pressed against the top of the plate. Then the vacuum pump 6 is started to build negative pressure. At the same time, the negative pressure sensor 10 detects the pressure of the vacuum pipeline. When the pressure reaches the required value, the integrated fork frame 5 rises, driving the plate to rise, and the upper rear telescopic 2 forks return to the middle position. At the same time, the plate is put down and falls onto the top of the lower telescopic fork 4 for stacking. Single plates are picked up in turn, sorted, and placed on the lower telescopic fork 4. When the cargo sensing sensor 9 detects that the maximum cargo height has been reached, the system alarms, and the forklift returns to the loading and unloading position, and the lower telescopic fork 4 is extended for unloading operations.
