DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] See also Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0022] Specifically, it refers to a new type of pallet stacker with adjustable forks, including a body 1, a guide frame 2 is fixedly installed on the front of the body 1, a movable plate body 3 is arranged on the front of the guide frame 2, a connecting box body 4 is fixedly connected to the front of the movable plate body 3, two L-shaped forks 5 are arranged on the front of the connecting box body 4, two second slide grooves 21 are opened on the front of the connecting box body 4 near the two L-shaped forks 5, and the back of the vertical plate of the L-shaped fork 5 is fixedly connected to an adjusting slider 22, and the other side of the adjusting slider 22 is connected to the second slide groove 21. The second motor 19 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the connecting box 4, and the lower end of the output shaft of the second motor 19 rotates and penetrates into the connecting box 4. The lower end of the output shaft of the second motor 19 is fixedly connected with a second screw rod 20, and the lower end of the second screw rod 20 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the connecting box 4. The outer surface of the second screw rod 20 is threadedly sleeved with a threaded sleeve 23, and a rotating plate 24 is hinged between the outer surface of the threaded sleeve 23 and the adjusting slider 22 located on one side of the connecting box 4;

[0023] When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two L-shaped forks 5, the second motor 19 is started, and the output shaft of the second motor 19 synchronously drives the second screw 20 to rotate. At this time, the threaded sleeve 23 can be displaced upward or downward under the transmission of the thread of the second screw 20. When the threaded sleeve 23 is displaced downward, the threaded sleeve 23 will squeeze the rotating plate 24, so that the rotating plate 24 will form a thrust on the adjusting slider 22, so that the two L-shaped forks 5 are displaced in opposite directions. When the threaded sleeve 23 is displaced upward, the threaded sleeve 23 will pull the rotating plate 24, so that the rotating plate 24 will form a pulling force on the adjusting slider 22, so that the two L-shaped forks 5 are displaced in relative directions. The above structure can achieve the purpose of adjusting the lateral distance between the two forks, increase the stability of cargo placement, and facilitate use.

[0024] Specifically, a limiting slide bar 25 is fixedly connected between the inner walls on both sides of the second slide groove 21, and the adjusting slider 22 is slidably sleeved on the limiting slide bar 25. Therefore, the adjusting slider 22 is limited by the limiting slide bar 25, and the problem of tilting of the adjusting slider 22 when sliding is avoided as much as possible.

[0025] The fork head 6 is provided with a fork head 6 on the side of the L-shaped fork 5 away from the connection box 4, and the fork head 6 slides into the L-shaped fork 5 on the side close to the L-shaped fork 5. The upper surface of the fork head 6 is fixedly connected with a supporting slider 7, and the upper surface of the supporting slider 7 is flush with the upper surface of the L-shaped fork 5. The upper surface of the L-shaped fork 5 is provided with a movable slide groove 8 connected with the interior thereof, and the movable slide groove 8 extends out of the front side of the L-shaped fork 5. The supporting slider 7 slides in the movable slide groove 8. Therefore, when the fork is inserted into the pallet, since the upper surface of the supporting slider 7 is flush with the upper surface of the L-shaped fork 5, the L-shaped fork 5 and the supporting slider 7 can both contact with the top wall of the pallet slot, thereby avoiding the problem that the top of the fork head 6 cannot form an effective support for the pallet, resulting in tilting of the pallet during transportation, and further ensuring the use effect of the fork.

[0026] Specifically, a first screw 11 is provided in the transverse plate of the L-shaped fork 5, and a thread groove 12 is provided on the surface of the side of the fork head 6 facing the first screw 11. The fork head 6 is threadedly sleeved on the first screw 11 through the thread groove 12, and the other end of the first screw 11 rotates to pass through the transverse plate of the L-shaped fork 5. Two first slide grooves 9 are provided on the front of the connecting box 4, both of which are connected to the interior thereof. One end of the first screw 11 located outside the L-shaped fork 5 extends into the connecting box 4 through the first slide groove 9, and one end of the first screw 11 located in the connecting box 4 is fixedly connected to a worm gear 13, and the bottom of the worm gear 13 is meshedly connected to a worm 14. A first motor 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting box 4, and the output shaft of the first motor 10 rotates and passes through the connecting box 4. A transmission shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 10, and the other end of the transmission shaft 15 is rotationally connected to the inner wall of the connecting box 4, and the worm 14 is sleeved on the transmission shaft 15;

[0027] When in use, the first motor 10 is started, and the output shaft of the first motor 10 drives the transmission shaft 15 to rotate, and the worm 14 will rotate synchronously with the transmission shaft 15. At this time, the worm 14 can engage the transmission worm wheel 13 to rotate, and the first screw 11 will rotate with the worm wheel 13. Since the fork head 6 is restricted by the inner wall of the cross plate of the L-shaped fork 5, it is displaced under the transmission of the thread groove 12, so that the fork head 6 can be retracted into the L-shaped fork 5 or extended out of the outside of the L-shaped fork 5, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the extension length of the fork head 6. Therefore, when transporting smaller pallets, the fork head 6 will not extend too long from the pallet to cause collision with surrounding people or objects. At the same time, since the fork head 6 can be extended, the fork can transport multiple pallets at the same time, further improving the use effect of the pallet stacker.

[0028] Specifically, a sleeve hole 16 is formed on the worm 14, and the worm 14 is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the transmission shaft 15 through the sleeve hole 16. A limiting slider 17 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission shaft 15 close to the worm 14. A limiting slide groove 18 is formed on the inner wall of the sleeve hole 16, and the limiting slide grooves 18 extend from the opposite two side surfaces of the worm 14 respectively, and the limiting slider 17 slides in the limiting slide groove 18;

[0029] When the two L-shaped forks 5 are adjusting the horizontal distance in the lateral direction, since the worm wheel 13 and the worm 14 are self-locking, the worm wheel 13 can drive the worm 14 to slide on the transmission shaft 15, and the problem of the L-shaped fork 5 being stuck will not occur. At the same time, due to the setting of the limiting slider 17 and the limiting groove 18, when the transmission shaft 15 rotates, the worm 14 will rotate synchronously with the transmission shaft 15, further ensuring the stability of the device during operation.

[0030] The working principle of the new pallet stacker with adjustable fork provided by the utility model is as follows: when in use, the first motor 10 is started, and the output shaft of the first motor 10 drives the transmission shaft 15 to rotate. Due to the setting of the limiting slider 17 and the limiting slide groove 18, the worm 14 will rotate synchronously with the transmission shaft 15. At this time, the worm 14 can engage the transmission worm wheel 13 to rotate, and the first screw 11 will rotate with the worm wheel 13. Since the fork head 6 is restricted by the inner wall of the cross plate of the L-shaped fork 5, it is displaced under the transmission of the thread groove 12, so that the fork head 6 can be retracted into the L-shaped fork 5 or extended out of the outside of the L-shaped fork 5.
