AI Technical Summary
Existing telescopic forks cannot take into account both speed and stroke. Conventional designs either increase the motor power increase speed or lengthen the fork body to increase stroke.
The design of the lower fork assembly and the middle fork assembly is driven by rack, and the middle fork assembly and the upper fork assembly is driven by sprocket chain, combined with motor drive, achieving high speed and long stroke.
Without increasing the motor power, the cargo movement speed increases and the stroke increases, greatly improving efficiency.

[0002] Telescopic forks are widely used in industries such as warehousing, papermaking, packaging, printing, tobacco, household appliances, wine and beverages, wool and cotton textiles, port terminals, railways, automobile manufacturing, iron and steel smelting, chemical engineering, and construction.
[0003] The conventional transmission of the telescopic fork is as follows: the lower fork drives the middle fork, and the middle fork drives the upper fork. The moving distance of the upper fork is twice that of the middle fork, and the speed of the upper fork is twice that of the middle fork. At present, the market has an increasing demand for forks with high speed and large stroke. Conventional telescopic forks cannot balance speed and stroke at the same time. Either the motor power is increased to improve the speed, or the fork body length is increased to increase the stroke.
[0004] Therefore, a new telescopic fork is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
