Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of forklift door frame lifting, and more specifically, to a forklift. Background Art
[0002] A forklift is a special equipment that uses a fork as a pick-up device and can carry goods point-to-point. In cold storage scenarios, in order to improve warehouse space utilization, double-deep shelves are usually used, and the corresponding forklifts are usually equipped with scissor forks for picking up and placing goods at the second deepest position. Currently, the scissor-fork forward-moving vehicles on the market are generally driven manually, which requires high operating skills from forklift drivers.
[0003] If the forklift's load exceeds the permitted weight, there is a risk of a safety accident. Therefore, accurately obtaining the weight of the cargo on the forklift is a very important factor in preventing safety accidents.
[0004] In the prior art, when a forklift is loaded with cargo, the pressure of the working oil formed in the lifting cylinder is usually obtained, the pressure of the working oil is measured, and the pressure of the working oil is converted into weight to calculate the weight of the cargo, so as to achieve the purpose of monitoring the cargo load on the forklift.
[0005] However, the method of converting the pressure of the hydraulic oil into weight as described above has a problem that the response is slow and the reliability shows an error of about 5%.
[0006] On the other hand, the fork length of traditional forklifts is relatively fixed, which means that when the width of the cargo changes, especially increases, it is easy to cause the center of gravity of the cargo to be unstable during transportation, affecting the transportation effect.
[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a forklift to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] In the embodiments shown in the drawings, the directions (such as up, down, left, right, front and back) used to explain the structure and movement of the various components of the present invention are not absolute but relative. These descriptions are appropriate when the components are in the positions shown in the drawings. If the description of the positions of the components changes, the directions also change accordingly.
[0028] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0029] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the utility model or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific implementation methods of the utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of the utility model. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.
[0030] See also Figure 1 , and combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a forklift of the utility model comprises a bracket 1, a column 2 and a telescopic fork 4, the fork 4 is installed on the bracket 1 at intervals, the column 2 is made of H-shaped steel or I-shaped steel, the columns 2 are arranged at intervals, the bottoms of the columns 2 are connected through a seat body 21, a hydraulic cylinder 22 is arranged on the seat body 21, and two hydraulic cylinders 22 are preferably used. The telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 22 is connected to the cross beam 23 at the top of the column 2, and the cross beam 23 is provided with a guide wheel adapted to the outer side groove of the column 2. When the hydraulic cylinder 22 is working, it can drive the cross beam 23 to move on the column 2.
[0031] The bracket 1 of the utility model is provided with a roller 11, which is engaged with the inner side of the column 2, and a mounting seat 24 is provided on the crossbeam 23. A sprocket 25 is installed on the mounting seat 24, and a transmission chain 26 is meshed on the sprocket 25. One end of the transmission chain is fixedly connected to the bracket 1, and the other end of the transmission chain 26 is connected to a connector 27.
[0032] Please continue reading Figure 2 As shown, an L-shaped suspension arm 28 is installed on the crossbeam 23 of the utility model, and a connector 27 is inserted into the suspension arm 28 through a plug-in rod 29. The bottom of the plug-in rod 29 is locked by a nut 30. A pressure sensor 31 is also inserted into the plug-in rod 29, and the pressure sensor 31 is located between the suspension arm 28 and the nut 30.
[0033] When in use, the hydraulic cylinder 22 drives its telescopic rod to extend and retract, driving the crossbeam 23 to move up and down, thereby changing the relative height between the sprocket 25 and the column 2, so as to change the length of the two sides of the transmission chain 26 on both sides of the sprocket 25, so as to achieve the lifting or lowering of the bracket 1 at the end of the transmission chain 26, and achieve the purpose of lifting or lowering the goods on the fork 4. At the same time, due to the different loads, this leads to different tensions on the transmission chain 26, which leads to different values obtained by the pressure sensor 31 on the connector 27. Therefore, the weight of the goods can be quickly obtained, and compared with the traditional measurement of the hydraulic pressure of the lifting cylinder, the reliability can be significantly improved.
[0034] In order to prevent the nut 30 on the plug rod 29 from loosening and causing safety accidents, the utility model also provides a detachable plug pin 32 at the end of the plug rod 29 to achieve the purpose of secondary fixing and locking.
[0035] The plug-in rod 29 of the present invention is provided with a first column 33 and a second column 34 , and the first column 33 and the second column 34 are respectively provided on two sides of the pressure sensor 31 .
[0036] Specifically, the fork 4 of the utility model includes an L-shaped mounting body 41 and an extension plate 42 hinged on the mounting body. The cross-section of the extension plate 42 is rectangular and one end is open. The mounting body is inserted into the extension plate 42. The extension plate 42 can move relative to the mounting body 41. Mounting ear plates are provided on both sides of the extension plate 42. Mounting holes are provided on the mounting ear plates 42, and the mounting holes are connected by a connecting shaft.
[0037] When the width of the goods is not large, the overlapping length of the extension plate 42 and the mounting body 41 is large, and the whole is short. When the width of the goods is large, the extension plate can be pulled out relative to the mounting body 41 to shorten the overlapping length between the two, thereby forming support for the goods. It is convenient and quick to use and ensures the stability of transportation. For the specific structure, please refer to Figure 4 shown.
[0038] A forklift of the utility model adopts a transmission chain 26 to pull the bracket 1 up and down to realize the lifting and lowering of the fork 4 on the bracket 1. At the same time, combined with the pressure sensor 31 on the transmission chain 26, the load directly applied to the transmission chain 26 can be quickly measured. Therefore, compared with the traditional measurement of the hydraulic pressure of the lifting cylinder, the reliability can be significantly improved.
[0039] At the same time, the ordinary fixed-length fork 4 is replaced with a retractable fork 4, and the length of the fork 4 can be adjusted according to the width of the goods to ensure the stability of the goods transfer and improve the safety of the transfer.
[0040] Finally, the method of this application is only a preferred implementation scheme and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
