[0027] As Figures 2 to 5 shown, the telescopic fork 4 may further include a telescopic plate 42, a first chain 43, a second chain 44, a fork base 45, and a closing drive motor 48. The fork base 45 is fixedly arranged on the closing support base 3. The telescopic plate 42 is slidably connected to the fork base 45. The pallet 41 is slidably connected to the telescopic plate 42. One side of the fork base 45 is provided with a first adjustment connection seat 451. One side of the bottom surface of the pallet 41 is provided with a first fixed connection seat 411. The front end of one side of the telescopic plate 42 is rotatably connected with a first sprocket 431. One end of the first chain 43 is connected to the first adjustment connection seat 451.

The other end of the second chain 44 extends backward and meshes with the second sprocket 441, and after passing through the corresponding hole positions opened on the telescopic plate 42, it extends forward and is connected to the second fixed connection seat 412, thereby realizing the transmission connection between the telescopic plate 42 and the pallet 41. A rack 421 is arranged at the bottom of the telescopic plate 42.

[0028] As Figures 6 to 7 shown, one side of the fork base 45 may be provided with a closing drive motor 48. The closing drive motor 48 is in transmission connection with the rack 421 of the telescopic plate 42 through a gear transmission method and drives it to move back and forth, thereby driving the pallet 41 to move back and forth.

The closing drive motor 48 can drive the first gear 46 to rotate and drive the telescopic plate 42 to move back and forth through the second gear 47.

[0030] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows:

[0031] As Figure 8 shown, when the tray 10 is driven by manual or a tray collecting mechanism for collecting and storing materials, when the tray collecting lifting drive device 2 drives the telescopic fork 4 to move to the front of the loading position of the external tray collecting bin, the telescopic plate 42 of the telescopic fork 4 moves forward under the drive of the tray collecting drive motor 48. The first sprocket 431 applies a forward force to the first chain 43, which can force the first chain 43 to drag the pallet 41 forward, so that the tray 10 moves directly above the loading position and its two sides abut against the internal partition plates in the external tray collecting bin. Finally, the tray collecting lifting drive device 2 descends a certain height and the telescopic fork 4 retracts, thus completing a storage operation.

[0032] When it is necessary to take out the tray 10, when the tray collecting lifting drive device 2 drives the telescopic fork 4 to move directly below the tray 10 at the loading and unloading position of the external tray collecting bin, the tray collecting lifting drive device 2 ascends a certain height, so that the pallet 41 contacts the bottom surface of the tray 10 and the two limit strips 410 limit the two ends of the tray 10. Then, when the telescopic plate 42 of the telescopic fork 4 moves backward, the second sprocket 441 applies a backward force to the second chain 44, which can force the second chain 44 to drag the pallet 41 backward and drive the tray 10 to be taken out from the external tray collecting bin, thus completing a taking-out operation.

[0033] In summary, through the collaborative action of the tray collecting lifting drive device and the telescopic fork, the present utility model can drive the tray to move up, down, forward and backward, can quickly and accurately drive the tray to be stored or taken out at any loading and unloading position inside the external tray collecting bin, has a high moving accuracy, is not easy to shake, has a high degree of automation, good flexibility, stable and reliable operation, can efficiently realize the automatic tray collecting and conveying operation, and can meet the large-scale production requirements of enterprises.

[0034] The above embodiments are the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be equivalent replacement methods and are all included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
