[0021] The front and back, up and down, left and right directions described in the present invention are Figure 4 The front and back, up and down, left and right directions.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the electric side shifter attachment provided by the utility model includes an attachment body 30 and an electric side shifter 40. The electric side shifter 40 includes a fixing frame 41, a side shift plate 42, and a side shift electric cylinder 43. The fixing frame 41 is connected to the lifting mechanism, and the fixing frame 41 is in a mouth shape. The fixing frame 41 includes a first side plate 411, a second side plate 412, a third side plate 413 and a fourth side plate 414 which are vertically connected. The first side plate 411 and the third side plate 413 extend vertically in the left-right direction, the second side plate 412 and the fourth side plate 414 extend vertically in the front-back direction, and the side shift plate 42 extends vertically in the left-right direction. The side shift plate 42 is installed on the front part of the fixing frame 41 so as to be movable left and right through a guide rail pair 44. The front surface of the side shift plate 42 is used for installing the attachment body 30. The side shift electric cylinder 43 is arranged on the fixing frame 41, and the side shift electric cylinder 43 is used for driving the side shift plate 42 to move left and right relative to the fixing frame 41.

[0023] The advantage of this arrangement is that the side shift plate can be driven to move left and right by the side shift electric cylinder, thereby achieving lateral shift of the accessory body. This not only facilitates the matching holes on the goods that are offset, but also allows the goods to be placed closer to the side of the shelf, thereby improving shelf utilization.

[0024] In this embodiment, the side shift cylinder 43 extends in the left-right direction, the left end of the side shift cylinder 43 is rotatably connected to the first hinge ear seat 421 set on the back side of the side shift plate 42, and the right end of the side shift cylinder 43 is rotatably connected to the second hinge ear seat 415 set on the left wall surface of the second side plate 412. The rotation axis lines of the left and right ends of the side shift cylinder 43 both extend vertically in the up and down directions, and the axis line of the side shift cylinder 43 is located on the center dividing plane in the thickness direction of the accessory body 30.

[0025] Furthermore, the guide rail pair 44 is a heavy-load linear guide rail pair, and the guide rail pair 44 includes two guide rails 441 extending in the left-right direction and sliders 442 slidably mounted on the guide rails 441. The two guide rails 441 are respectively connected to the front surfaces of the first side plate 411 and the third side plate 413. Two sliders 442 are mounted on each guide rail 441. The two sliders 442 are spaced apart in the left-right direction, and all sliders 442 are connected to the rear surface of the side shift plate 42; further, in the front-to-back direction, the front wall surfaces of the second side plate 412 and the fourth side plate 414 are located between the guide rails 441 and the side shift plate 42.

[0026] Furthermore, the fixing frame 41 also includes a reinforcing rib 416 vertically connected between the first side plate 411 and the third side plate 413 . The reinforcing rib 416 is parallel to the second side plate 412 and the fourth side plate 414 . An avoidance groove 417 for avoiding the side shift electric cylinder 43 is formed on the reinforcing rib 416 .

[0027] In this embodiment, a rotatable in-place baffle 423 and an in-place protective pad 424 are connected to the front surface of the side shift plate 42. A first sensor 422 for detecting the distance between the cargo and the side shift plate 42 is also provided on the side shift plate 42. Furthermore, the upper end of the in-place baffle 423 is rotatably connected to the front surface of the side shift plate 42, and the lower end of the in-place baffle 423 is suspended in the air. The rotation axis of the in-place baffle 423 extends horizontally in the left and right directions. To avoid damage to the first sensor 422 and facilitate triggering, the first sensor 422 is connected to the rear surface of the in-place baffle 423; specifically, the in-place baffle 423 has a first working position and a second working position. When the in-place baffle 423 is in the first working position, the front surface of the in-place baffle 423 is parallel to and not lower than the front surface of the side shift plate 42, and the first sensor 422 is triggered. When the in-place baffle 423 is in the second working position, the in-place baffle 423 is tilted and extended so that a part of it protrudes from the front surface of the side shift plate 42, and the first sensor 422 is not triggered.

[0028] Furthermore, the electric side shifter attachment also includes an elastic member (not shown in the figure) for driving the in-position baffle plate 423 to rotate toward the second working position.

[0029] In this embodiment, the accessory body 30 is connected to the front surface of the side shift plate 42 and extends forward. The plane where the accessory body 30 is located is located in the middle position of the first side plate 411 and the third side plate 413. Furthermore, the front end of the accessory body 30 is provided with a second sensor 31 for detecting the position of the matching hole 2 on the cargo 1, and the upper surface of the accessory body 30 is connected with an anti-slip pad 32.

[0030] like Figure 5 A stacker truck using the electric side shifter provided by the utility model is provided, comprising a vehicle body 10, a lifting mechanism 20, an attachment body 30, and an electric side shifter 40, wherein the vehicle body 10 is arranged to be movable at least forward and backward, the lifting mechanism 20 is connected to the front part of the vehicle body 10, and a fixing frame 41 in the electric side shifter 40 is connected to the lifting mechanism 20, so that the attachment body 30 can move up and down under the drive of the lifting mechanism 20 to position the vehicle body 10, and further, the first sensor 422 and the second sensor 31 are both electrically connected to a controller that controls the forward and backward movement of the vehicle body 10.

[0031] When in use, the stacker first predicts the initial parking position through the radar or visual sensor connected to the top of the vehicle body or the lifting mechanism, moves the vehicle body forward to the cargo handling position, and then activates the lifting mechanism and / or the side shift electric cylinder to detect the specific position of the matching hole of the accessory body on the cargo using the second sensor. After detecting the specific position of the matching hole of the accessory body, a feedback signal is given to the controller to activate the side shift electric cylinder to adjust the left and right position of the accessory body. The vehicle body then moves forward and inserts the accessory body into the matching hole of the accessory body until the first sensor is triggered and stops moving forward. The lifting mechanism can then be activated to lift the cargo for stacking / handling operations.

They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
