[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the utility model more clearly understood, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments, but the scope of protection claimed in the utility model is not limited to the following specific embodiments.
[0037] refer to Figure 1 A fork reversible fork clamp device includes a forklift connecting frame 11, a fork assembly, an oil inlet pipe 41, a main oil return pipe 42, a reversing valve 43, and an auxiliary oil return pipe 51. The fork assembly is installed on the forklift connecting frame 11. Two fork assemblies are provided, and the two fork assemblies are symmetrically arranged.
[0038] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The fork assembly includes a sliding frame 12 and a fork arm 13. The sliding frame 12 is slidably connected to the forklift connecting frame 11. The fork arm 13 can be rotatably installed on the sliding frame 12. The sliding frame 12 is provided with a driving cylinder 14. The two ends of the driving cylinder 14 are rotatably connected to the sliding frame 12 and the fork arm 13 respectively. The sliding frame 12 is fixedly connected to a limit seat 21. The limit seat 21 is threadedly connected to a limit screw 22. The limit screw 22 is threadedly connected to a locking nut 24. The locking nut 24 is clamped with the limit seat 21. The limit screw 22 is fixedly connected to a screw head 23. The screw head 23 is located on one end of the limit screw 22 close to the fork arm 13, and the screw head 23 is clamped with the fork arm 13. The fork arm 13 is provided with two locking grooves 33, and the two locking grooves 33 are spaced 90 degrees apart. There are two limit seats 21, limit screws 22 and screw heads 23, and the two limit seats 21, limit screws 22 and screw heads 23 correspond to each other. The two screw heads 23 are respectively located on both sides of the fork arm 13. The limit screws 22 on the two fork assemblies are staggered.
[0039] The sliding frame 12 is fixedly connected with a connecting seat 31, and the connecting seat 31 is slidably connected with a locking pin 32. The fork arm 13 is provided with a locking groove 33 matched with the locking pin 32. The sliding frame 12 is provided with a locking mechanism for driving the locking pin 32 to slide on the connecting seat 31. The locking mechanism includes a piston tube 34, a piston block 35, a piston rod 36 and a sealing plate 37. The sealing plate 37 closes one end of the piston tube 34 close to the locking pin 32. The piston block 35 is located in the piston tube 34 and matches with the inner wall of the piston tube 34. The piston rod 36 is fixedly connected with the piston block 35. The piston rod 36 is penetrated by the sealing plate 37. One end of the piston rod 36 extending out of the piston tube 34 is fixedly connected with the locking pin 32. An elastic member 38 is provided between the sealing plate 37 and the locking pin 32. The elastic member 38 is a spring whose two ends are respectively in contact with the sealing plate 37 and the locking pin 32.
[0040] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the oil inlet pipe 41 and the main oil return pipe 42 are respectively connected to the reversing valve 43, and the reversing valve 43 is connected to the driving oil cylinder 14. The reversing valve 43 is used to switch the flow direction of the hydraulic oil entering the driving oil cylinder 14, and can play a role in adjusting the movement direction of the driving oil cylinder 14, so as to drive the fork arm 13 to rotate in different directions. The auxiliary oil return pipe 51 is connected to the oil inlet pipe 41, and the piston tube 34 is connected to the oil delivery port 52, and the oil delivery port 52 is connected to the auxiliary oil return pipe 51. The auxiliary oil return pipe 51 is equipped with a throttle valve 53. The oil delivery port 52 is located between the throttle valve 53 and the oil inlet pipe 41 on the auxiliary oil return pipe 51, and the main oil return pipe 42 is equipped with a relief valve 44. The end of the auxiliary oil return pipe 51 away from the main oil return pipe 42 is connected to the hydraulic oil circuit of the forklift. The flow rate of the hydraulic oil input into the oil inlet pipe 41 is greater than the flow rate of the throttle valve 53, so that the hydraulic oil can enter the main oil return pipe 42 through the oil inlet pipe 41. The oil inlet pipe 41 is provided with a one-way valve 45, which is located between the auxiliary oil return pipe 51 and the reversing valve 43. The oil inlet pipe 41 is provided with a solenoid valve 46, which is connected to the auxiliary oil return pipe 51 and the oil inlet pipe 41 between the reversing valve 43 and the solenoid valve 46.
[0041] The forklift connecting frame 11 is installed on the forklift, and the forklift drives the fork arm 13 to move, so that the fork arm 13 can be used to transport goods. The oil inlet pipe 41 and the main oil return pipe 42 are connected to the hydraulic oil circuit of the forklift, and hydraulic oil is input into the oil inlet pipe 41 through the hydraulic oil circuit of the forklift. The driving cylinder 14 is extended and shortened by the hydraulic oil, and the driving cylinder 14 drives the fork arm 13 to rotate on the sliding frame 12, realizing the function of driving the fork arm 13 to rotate, so that the fork arm 13 can lift and clamp the goods. While the hydraulic oil is injected into the hydraulic cylinder in the oil inlet pipe 41, the hydraulic oil is input into the piston tube 34 through the auxiliary oil return pipe 51, and the driving piston block 35 drives the locking pin 32 to move in the direction away from the locking groove 33, and the locking pin 32 is pulled out from the locking groove 33, so that the fork arm 13 can rotate on the sliding frame 12. After the oil inlet pipe 41 stops inputting hydraulic oil to the driving cylinder 14 , the elastic member 38 drives the locking pin 32 to insert into the locking groove 33 , and the hydraulic oil in the piston tube 34 flows back into the hydraulic oil circuit of the forklift through the throttle valve 53 .
[0042] This embodiment has the following advantages:
[0043] During the rotation of the fork arm 13, the screw head 23 is engaged with the fork arm 13, so as to position the fork arm 13 and facilitate the positioning of the rotation angle of the fork arm 13, thereby achieving the advantage of convenient use.
[0044] The limit screw 22 is rotated on the limit seat 21 to move the limit screw 22 on the limit seat 21 to which it is threadedly connected, thereby driving the screw head 23 to move. By adjusting the position of the screw head 23, the fork arm 13 and the screw head 23 are in a suitable position when they are engaged, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy of the screw head 23 on the fork arm 13 and preventing the problem of unusability caused by positioning deviation due to wear during use.
[0045] After the position of the limit screw 22 is adjusted, the locking nut 24 is tightened to make the locking nut 24 press against the limit seat 21, and the limit seat 21, the locking nut 24 and the limit screw 22 are locked by friction, thereby achieving the function of locking the limit screw 22 and the screw head 23.
[0046] The two screw heads 23 located on both sides of the fork arm 13 can respectively position the rotation angle of the fork arm 13, so that the fork arm 13 can be positioned to a state of lifting goods and a state of clamping goods respectively through the two screw heads 23.
[0047] The locking pin 32 is driven into the locking groove 33 through the locking mechanism, so that the locking pin 32 is engaged with the fork arm 13, so that the fork arm 13 can remain in a locked state after rotating to a suitable angle, thereby preventing the fork arm 13 from rotating and improving the stability of the fork arm 13.
[0048] By inputting hydraulic oil between the piston block 35 and the sealing plate 37, the hydraulic oil pushes the piston block 35 to move in the piston tube 34, and the piston block 35 drives the piston rod 36 and the locking pin 32 to move away from the locking groove 33, thereby realizing the function of the locking mechanism driving the locking pin 32 to move.
[0049] The elastic member 38 exerts an elastic force on the locking pin 32 , so that the locking pin 32 has a tendency to be inserted into the locking groove 33 , thereby keeping the locking pin 32 in a state of being inserted into the locking groove 33 .
[0050] The oil inlet pipe 41 and the main oil return pipe 42 are connected to the hydraulic oil circuit of the forklift. The forklift sends hydraulic oil into the oil inlet pipe 41 through a hydraulic pump. The hydraulic oil in the oil inlet pipe 41 is sent into the driving cylinder 14 through a reversing valve 43. The hydraulic oil in the driving cylinder 14 flows back to the hydraulic oil circuit of the forklift through the main oil return pipe 42, thereby realizing the function of driving the driving cylinder 14 to move.
[0051] In the process of the hydraulic oil flowing from the oil inlet pipe 41 to the main oil return pipe 42, the relief valve 44 is set so that the hydraulic oil in the oil inlet pipe 41, the main oil return pipe 42 and the auxiliary oil return pipe 51 have a positive pressure, so that the hydraulic oil in the auxiliary oil return pipe 51 enters the piston tube 34 through the oil delivery port 52, thereby realizing the function of inputting hydraulic oil into the piston tube 34.
[0052] The one-way valve 45 is provided to prevent the hydraulic oil in the driving cylinder 14 from flowing into the auxiliary oil return pipe 51 through the oil inlet pipe 41 , thereby preventing the driving cylinder 14 from accidentally moving.
[0053] When the solenoid valve 46 is closed, the hydraulic oil in the oil inlet pipe 41 stops flowing, which plays a role in controlling the flow state of the hydraulic oil in the oil inlet pipe 41 and preventing the driving cylinder 14 from moving unexpectedly.
[0054] The limit screws 22 on the two fork assemblies are staggered to prevent the limit screws 22 on the two fork assemblies from colliding with each other, thereby improving reliability and movement stroke.
[0055] According to the disclosure and teaching of the above specification, the technicians in the field of the utility model can also change and modify the above implementation. Therefore, the utility model is not limited to the specific implementation methods disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to the utility model should also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model. In addition, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for the convenience of description and do not constitute any limitation to the utility model.
