[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of logistics and transportation, in particular to a forklift pallet aligning device. Background Art

[0002] Forklifts are mainly used for cargo handling and are widely used in factories, warehouses, docks and many other places where cargo needs to be loaded and unloaded. They have the advantages of easy operation and high efficiency. During the handling process, the forklift needs to extend the forklift's fork to the bottom of the item to complete the handling work. However, for many items, the bottom is fully in contact with the ground, and the forklift's fork cannot extend to the bottom of the item. Therefore, in the process of handling goods, pallets are used. By inserting the forklift's fork into the pallet, the items are placed on the pallet for handling.

[0003] After using the pallets, they need to be stacked and put back into the warehouse. The existing method is to stack the pallets on a forklift and then transport them back to the warehouse in batches. However, during the stacking process, multiple pallets are not stacked completely neatly. Therefore, after being transported back to the warehouse, the stacked pallets need to be manually aligned, which increases the workload of the workers. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the description of these implementation methods is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in each implementation method of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0022] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a forklift pallet alignment device includes a frame 1 and a centering push module 2;

[0023] The frame 1 is provided with a push-in cavity 11 into which a forklift 6 can drive; the centering push module 2 is provided on both symmetrical sides of the push-in cavity 11;

[0024] The centering pushing module 2 includes a centering cylinder 21 and a longitudinal alignment rod 22. The cylinder body of the centering cylinder 21 is arranged on the frame 1, and the telescopic shaft of the centering cylinder 21 passes through the frame 1 and is located in the pushing cavity 11; the longitudinal alignment rod 22 is arranged at the end of the telescopic shaft of the centering cylinder 21, and the longitudinal alignment rod 22 is arranged vertically.

[0025] In the forklift pallet alignment device, the pallets 7 are stacked on the forks of the forklift 6, and then the forklift 6 is driven into the pushing chamber 11. At this time, the telescopic shaft of the centering cylinder 21 can be directed toward the pallet 7, and the centering cylinders 21 located on the symmetrical sides of the pushing chamber 11 are started at the same time, so that the corresponding longitudinal alignment rods 22 are simultaneously moved in the direction of the stacked pallets 7. Since the pallets 7 are stacked longitudinally, the vertically arranged longitudinal alignment rods 22 can be used to push relatively uneven pallets 7, so that the pallets 7 of the same batch are stacked neatly, and then the neatly stacked pallets 7 are sent back to the warehouse by the forklift 6, which can reduce the workload of the workers.

[0026] It is worth noting that the centering push module 2 further includes a guide rod 23, which is parallel to the telescopic axis of the centering cylinder 21 and is distributed on the upper and lower sides of the centering cylinder 21; the guide rod 23 is slidably connected to the frame 1, and the guide rod 23 is connected to the longitudinal alignment rod 22 after passing through the frame 1. The guide rod 23 plays a guiding role, and its layout can balance the pressure on the longitudinal alignment rod 22, and the longitudinal alignment rod 22 can push one side of the stacked tray 7 to be flush.

[0027] Preferably, Figure 2 and 6As shown, the frame 1 includes a left frame 12, a rear frame 13 and a right frame 14 connected in sequence to form the push-in cavity 11; the left frame 12 and the right frame 14 are both provided with the centering push module 2. Figure 6 As shown, the left side frame 12, the rear side frame 13 and the right side frame 14 connected in sequence can form a U-shaped push-in cavity 11, thereby facilitating the forklift 6 to drive in.

[0028] Optional, such as Figure 3 and 4 As shown, it also includes a turntable 3, which is arranged on the lower side of the frame 1. The upper surface of the turntable 3 is provided with a lifting cylinder 31, and the telescopic shaft of the lifting cylinder 31 is vertically upward. Since the pallet 7 has four sides, the centering push module 2 can only act on two symmetrical surfaces at a time. After aligning the two symmetrical surfaces, the telescopic shaft of the lifting cylinder 31 is lifted to lift the pallet 7 off the ground, and then the turntable 3 rotates to rotate the pallet 7 90°, and then the centering push module 2 of the forklift pallet alignment device can act on the other two symmetrical surfaces to make the four sides of the stacked pallets 7 flush.

[0029] Specifically, a support block 32 is provided at the end of the telescopic shaft of the lifting cylinder 31. The cross-sectional area of ​​the support block 32 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the telescopic shaft of the lifting cylinder 31, thereby increasing the contact surface with the bottom surface of the tray 7, so that the lifted tray 7 is not easy to fall. In this embodiment, a plurality of lifting cylinders 31 are provided on the upper surface of the turntable 3, thereby further improving the stability of the lifted tray 7.

[0030] It is worth noting that if Figure 5 As shown, the frame 1 further includes a solenoid valve 4 and an air pipe 5, both of which are arranged on the outer wall of the frame 1. The output end of the solenoid valve 4 is connected to the input end of the centering cylinder 21 through the air pipe 5, and the input end of the solenoid valve 4 is connected to an external air source. The state of the solenoid valve 4 is controlled to control the movement of the centering cylinder 21, so as to achieve the alignment of the pallets 7.

[0031] The above is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of these embodiments are made without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
