[0002] The telescopic fork is a commonly used device in the field of logistics warehousing. The picking, placing and handling of goods can be realized through the telescopic fork. The telescopic fork with adjustable fork spacing can adapt to goods of different sizes and shapes by adjusting the fork spacing, so as to meet the diverse needs of logistics and material handling and improve the flexibility of the telescopic fork. The use of the telescopic fork with adjustable fork spacing can effectively improve the logistics operation efficiency and space utilization rate, and at the same time can effectively reduce the transportation and transfer costs.

[0003] The existing telescopic fork with adjustable fork spacing includes a fork body assembly and a transmission assembly integrally installed with the fork body assembly. The transmission assembly and the fork body assembly are connected by a transmission shaft, and the transmission assembly drives the fork body assembly to adjust the spacing. It is difficult to disassemble and maintain the existing transmission assembly after assembly. In addition, in the case of a relatively large spacing adjustment range, a very long transmission shaft needs to be used. If the working environment is relatively narrow, the transmission shaft cannot be taken out and reinstalled, and once the telescopic fork fails, it cannot be repaired.
