AI Technical Summary
The existing method of directly driving the fork rack by flipping the cylinder is only suitable for narrow-length fork racks. It is difficult for a single cylinder to drive the fork racks with longer lengths to rotate, and the dual cylinder layout symmetrically takes up a large volume.
The hinge frame is used to drive the fork rack to rotate, and the two flip cylinders are integrated into the fixing frame to drive the hinge frame. The length of the force arm is adjusted by the hinge ear plate to achieve flexible adjustment of the fork rack.
The overall occupied volume of the flip mechanism is reduced and is suitable for long-length cargo forks, ensuring that both ends of the cargo forks are displaced simultaneously, with good stability, and the length of the force arm can be adjusted to accommodate forks of different lengths.

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of turnover mechanisms, in particular to a turnover mechanism of a fork frame. Background Art
[0002] In order to increase the forking range of the fork and prevent the cargo on the fork from falling off, a tilting cylinder is usually set on the rear side of the fork frame. The fork frame is driven to rotate by the tilting cylinder, and the fork frame drives the fork to rotate together, thereby adjusting the inclination angle of the fork to facilitate oblique forking and prevent the cargo on the fork from falling off.
[0003] However, the existing method of directly driving the fork frame by the flipping cylinder is only applicable to narrow fork frames. For long fork frames, it is difficult for a single cylinder to drive them to rotate. If a double cylinder drive is adopted, the two cylinders need to be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fork frame, resulting in a larger overall volume occupied by the flipping mechanism. Summary of the invention

[0006] One end of the articulated frame is connected to the fork frame, and the driving unit is fixed on the fixed frame and can be connected to the other end of the articulated frame.
[0007] According to the above-mentioned flipping mechanism of a fork frame, a hinged ear plate is provided in the middle of the hinged frame, and the hinged ear plate protrudes backwards from both sides of the hinged frame. Both of the two hinged ear plates are rotatably connected to the fixed frame through a rotating shaft.
[0008] According to the above-mentioned tipping mechanism of a fork frame, the upper end of the articulated frame is connected to the fork frame, and the lower end of the articulated frame is provided with a connecting plate, and the driving unit can abut against the connecting plate.
[0009] According to the above-mentioned turning mechanism of a fork frame, the driving unit includes at least two turning cylinders, the two turning cylinders are arranged on the fixing frame at intervals, and the piston rods of the two turning cylinders can abut against both sides of the connecting plate at the same time.
[0010] According to the above-mentioned turning mechanism of the fork frame, the top of the connecting plate can abut against the bottom of the fork frame.
[0011] According to the above-mentioned turning mechanism of a fork frame, the fork frame includes a support body and a plurality of forks located on the support body, and the turning mechanism is installed on the rear side of the support body and is located in the middle of the support body.
[0012] The utility model has the following beneficial effects: an articulated frame is adopted to drive the fork frame to rotate together, the contact point between the fork frame and the tilting oil cylinder is moved downward, the rotational torque is increased, the two tilting oil cylinders do not need to be distributed at both ends of the fork frame, the overall occupied volume of the tilting mechanism can be reduced, and it can be suitable for a fork frame with a longer length.

[0018] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a flipping mechanism of a fork frame comprises a fixed frame 1, an articulated frame 2 and a driving unit. The middle part of the articulated frame 2 is hinged on the fixed frame 1 and can rotate in the up and down direction. One end of the articulated frame 2 is connected to the fork frame. The driving unit is fixed on the fixed frame 1 and can be connected to the other end of the articulated frame 2. Then, the lower edge of the entire fork frame can be moved downward through the articulated frame 2, and the connection point with the driving unit can be moved downward, thereby increasing the distance between the driving point of the driving unit and the hinge point, increasing the length of the force arm, making it easier to drive the driving unit, and being suitable for a fork frame with a longer length.
[0020] In order to realize the articulation of the articulated frame 2 and the fixed frame 1, an articulated ear plate 4 is provided in the middle of the articulated frame 2, and the articulated ear plate 4 protrudes backward from both sides of the articulated frame 2. The two articulated ear plates 4 are rotatably connected to the fixed frame 1 through the rotating shaft 5, so that the articulated frame 2 can rotate around the rotating shaft 5. At the same time, during the production process, the position of the articulated ear plate 4 can be adjusted to achieve the height adjustment of the hinge point, and then the length adjustment of the force arm can be achieved to adapt to fork frames of different lengths.
[0021] In order to achieve the abutment between the articulated frame 2 and the driving unit, the upper end of the articulated frame 2 is connected to the fork frame, and the lower end of the articulated frame 2 is provided with a connecting plate 6. The driving unit can abut against the connecting plate 6. The driving unit can drive the connecting plate 6 to rotate, and then drive the articulated frame 2 to rotate. The articulated frame 2 drives the fork frame to rotate and adjust the angle of the fork 8.
[0022] In order to ensure driving stability, the driving unit includes at least two flip cylinders 3, and the two flip cylinders 3 are arranged at intervals on the fixed frame 1, and the piston rods of the two flip cylinders 3 can abut against both sides of the connecting plate 6 at the same time. The two sides are driven at the same time, which can ensure that both sides of the fork frame 8 are subjected to force at the same time, and the operation of both sides is more stable. At the same time, the top of the connecting plate 6 can abut against the bottom of the fork frame. When the connecting plate 6 is rotated under force, part of its force will directly act on the fork frame to assist its rotation.
[0023] Specifically, the fork frame includes a support body 7 and a plurality of forks 8 located on the support body 7. The flipping mechanism is installed on the rear side of the support body 7 and is located in the middle of the support body 7. The flipping mechanism can drive the two ends of the fork frame to rotate synchronously to ensure movement stability.
