[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connected," and "set" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or they can refer to internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the circumstances. The following describes an embodiment of the utility model based on its overall structure.

[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the special fixture for stacking fruit baskets based on the gantry iron frame of this embodiment includes: a first sleeve 1, an ear plate 2, a hanging plate 3, a second sleeve 4, a fixing plate 5, a connecting plate 6, a screw end 7, a hanging ring end 8, a second through hole 9, a hook portion 10, a hanging pipe 11, a first through hole 12, a first screw hole 13 and a second screw hole 14.

[0030] Continue to refer Figure 1-Figure 5 The vacuum suction lifter includes a rotatable cantilever, which is equipped with a liftable vacuum suction cup. The fixture body is fixed on the vacuum suction cup through a connecting component. The cantilever drives the fixture body to move, and then the liftable vacuum suction cup drives the fixture body to move up and down in the vertical direction of the cantilever, so that the fixture body is at a suitable height.

[0031] In this embodiment, the connection assembly includes a fixing plate 5, a connecting plate 6, and a second sleeve 4. The fixing plate 5 is fixedly connected to the vacuum suction cup, and the fixing plate 5 is connected to the second sleeve 4 via the connecting plate 6. When installing the hanging tube 11, the hanging tube 11 is first inserted into the second sleeve 4, so that the hanging tube 11 can move along the second sleeve 4. To increase the force-bearing area of the hanging tube 11, two second sleeves 4 are preferably used. Since the second sleeve 4 has a second screw hole 14, a second screw is threadedly connected to the second screw hole 14. When securing the hanging tube 11, the second screw is tightened, and one end of the second screw abuts the hanging tube 11, completing the installation of the hanging tube 11. To improve the safety of the clamp, the hanging tube 11 is preferably a square tube to prevent it from slipping during operation.

[0032] In addition, the installation position of the connecting component is preferably between the two clamping components.

[0033] Next, install the clamping assemblies. Two clamping assemblies are adjustable at each end of the hanging tube 11 via a movable connector. The movable connector comprises a first sleeve 1, an ear plate 2, and a shackle. To accommodate fruit baskets 15 of varying sizes, the first sleeve 1 is removably mounted on the hanging tube 11. One end of the ear plate 2 is fixed to the first sleeve 1. A first through-hole 12 is defined at the other end of the ear plate 2. The screw end 7 of the shackle is mounted within this first through-hole 12. A second through-hole 9 is defined at one end of the hanging plate 3, which is hooked onto the eye end 8 of the shackle through this second through-hole 9. Since the first sleeve 1 has a first screw hole 13, into which the first screw is connected, after adjusting the position of the two clamping assemblies according to the size of the fruit basket 15, tighten the first screw until one end of the first screw abuts against the hanging tube 11. This secures the first sleeve 1 to the hanging tube 11, completing the installation of the clamping assemblies.

[0034] In this embodiment, the other end of the hanging plate 3 is provided with a hook portion 10, and the two hook portions 10 preferably extend from both ends of the hanging tube 11. The hanging portion 16 of the fruit basket 15 is composed of two hanging holes, one on each side of the fruit basket 15, and the hook portions 10 are adapted to the hanging portion 16 of the fruit basket 15. Before the fruit basket 15 is lifted, the two hanging plates 3 are first extended into the interior of the fruit basket 15 from above. The hook portions 10 on the hanging plates 3 then pass through the hanging holes and extend out of the fruit basket 15. At this point, the hook portions 10 abut against the hanging portions 16. During the process of raising the hanging tube 11, the hook portions 10 are locked with the hanging holes, and the fruit baskets 15 can then be transported and stacked onto the gantry iron frame.

[0035] The gantry frame consists of four support columns 18 and a load-bearing base 19. The four support columns 18 are welded to the sides of the load-bearing base 19 and extend upward. The four support columns 18 are connected by fences 17, which together form a palletizing area. The fences 17 limit the height of the palletized fruit baskets 15, preventing the palletized weight from exceeding the load-bearing capacity of the load-bearing base 19. An opening 20 is provided between two support columns 18, allowing the fruit baskets 15 to enter the palletizing area horizontally or vertically through the opening 20. To transport the fruit baskets 18, the hooks 10 are manually clamped to the hanging portions 16 on either side of the fruit basket 15. A vacuum lift is then used to lift the fruit basket 15, which is then assisted by a staff member.

[0036] Furthermore, even in extreme working environments, such as when the fruit basket 15 is surrounded, the two hooks 10 can still contact the hanging holes to lift the fruit basket 15, allowing for flexible operation in confined workstations. The clamp is highly adaptable. To accommodate the widths of hanging holes in fruit baskets of varying sizes and increase the contact area between the hooks 10 and the holes, the hooks 10 are preferably L-shaped.

[0037] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the two clamping components from falling off the hanging tube 11 during the movement along the hanging tube 11, sealing plates are respectively provided at both ends of the hanging tube 11. When the first sleeve 1 moves toward the sealing plate, it can be abutted against the sealing plate, thereby achieving the effect of preventing the clamping components from falling off the hanging tube 11.

[0038] To sum up, when using this embodiment, the hook portion 10 in the clamp body and the hanging portions 16 on both sides of the fruit basket 15 are first manually clamped to each other, and the vacuum suction lifter provides an upward pulling force to drive the fruit basket 15 to move upward, and the fruit basket 15 is moved to the gantry iron frame with manual assistance. The cooperation between the clamp body and the vacuum suction lifter not only replaces the manual handling action, but also achieves the effect of stacking the fruit baskets 15, greatly reducing the workload of workers and solving the problem that the existing clamp is not suitable for stacking fruit baskets.

[0039] The foregoing descriptions of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention are for purposes of illustration and description. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise forms that may be disclosed, and it is apparent that many modifications and variations are possible in light of the foregoing teachings. The exemplary embodiments have been selected and described for the purpose of explaining the specific principles of the present invention and their practical application, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to realize and utilize various exemplary embodiments of the present invention and various alternatives and variations thereof.
