Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of logistics handling equipment, and in particular to a layered picker. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the logistics industry, warehouse management and cargo handling are facing increasing pressure. Especially in large storage centers, how to move cargo efficiently and accurately has become the key to improving operational efficiency.

[0003] Traditional forklifts perform well when handling single pallets or the bottom layer of a pallet. However, when handling multi-level stacked goods, the entire stack must be moved together, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also increases the risk of damage. Although some improved forklifts have introduced auxiliary equipment to increase flexibility, they still fail to fundamentally solve the problem of independently retrieving high-level goods.

[0004] Therefore, developing a device that can conveniently and efficiently remove any layer of goods from multi-layer stacked goods has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to develop a device that can conveniently and efficiently select and take out a layer of goods from multi-layer stacked goods, the present application provides a layered picker.

[0006] The layered picker provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] The layered picker is arranged on the fork of the forklift and includes a fork sleeve and a hanger. The fork sleeve is symmetrically arranged in two groups about the hanger. The fork sleeve is arranged on the hanger. A pair of transverse clamping components and a longitudinal clamping component are arranged at the bottom of the hanger. Two groups of driving components for driving the transverse clamping components and the longitudinal clamping components to move are arranged on the hanger. The transverse clamping components and the longitudinal clamping components are arranged concentrically.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator uses the forklift forks and fork sleeves to move the picker to the top of the goods to be moved and then lower it. At this time, the horizontal clamping assembly and the vertical clamping assembly are surrounded by the goods to be moved. Then, the driving assembly drives the horizontal clamping assembly and the vertical clamping assembly to clamp the goods to be moved and close them. The goods can then be removed from the top. This makes it easy for the operator to remove the top layer of goods without the need for a pallet and without having to start from the bottom.

[0009] Preferably, the driving assembly includes an oil cylinder fixedly connected to the hanger, a driving plate fixedly connected to the transverse clamping assembly and the longitudinal clamping assembly, and the output end of the oil cylinder is fixedly connected to the driving plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator drives the driving plate to move through the oil cylinder, and the movement of the driving plate drives the movement of the horizontal clamping assembly and the longitudinal clamping assembly, and the movement of the horizontal clamping assembly and the longitudinal clamping assembly realizes the clamping and storage and release of the moving goods.

[0011] Preferably, the hanger is provided with multiple groups of guide rods and guide cylinders, the guide rods are slidably connected to the guide cylinders, and the end surfaces of the guide rods away from the guide cylinders are fixedly connected to the transverse clamping assembly and the longitudinal clamping group.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the oil cylinder drives the transverse clamping assembly and the longitudinal clamping assembly to move through the driving plate. The movement of the transverse clamping assembly and the longitudinal clamping assembly drives the guide rod to move in the guide cylinder. The setting of the guide rod and the guide cylinder provides guidance and stability for the movement of the transverse clamping assembly and the longitudinal clamping assembly, thereby improving the overall operating stability of the sorter.

[0013] Preferably, the transverse clamping assembly and the longitudinal clamping assembly both include a clamping arm frame fixedly connected to the guide rod and the driving plate, a baffle movably connected to the clamping arm frame, and a clamping plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping arm frame. The clamping arm frame is provided with multiple groups of adjustment assemblies for adjusting the baffle.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping arm frame is the main structure of the horizontal clamping assembly and the longitudinal clamping assembly, providing installation support for the baffle and the clamping plate. The operator drives the driving plate to move through the cylinder, and the movement of the driving plate drives the clamping plate to directly act on the goods to be sorted from all sides. The setting of the baffle provides auxiliary support for the upper side of the goods, ensuring the stability of the goods to be sorted during operation.

[0015] Preferably, the clamping plate is provided with multiple groups of anti-slip stripes.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the provision of anti-slip stripes further strengthens the friction between the clamping plate and the goods to be sorted, thereby enhancing the stability of the sorter during operation.

[0017] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment base fixedly connected to the side wall of the clamping arm frame, an adjustment bolt passing through the adjustment base, and an adjustment nut threadedly connected to the adjustment bolt.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator adjusts the position of the baffle by adjusting the position of the adjusting bolt and the adjusting nut, so that the baffle can be close to the upper part of the goods to be sorted, ensuring the stability of the sorter when working.

[0019] Preferably, an auxiliary plate is clamped on the clamping plate, a handle is provided on the top of the auxiliary plate, and anti-slip stripes are provided on the inner side of the auxiliary plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the volume of the goods to be sorted is too small and the original clamping plate cannot clamp it well at the minimum size, the operator uses the handle to clamp the auxiliary plate to the inner side of the clamping plate, and then the goods to be sorted can be clamped and moved. The anti-slip grooves on the inner side of the auxiliary plate also increase the friction between the auxiliary plate and the goods to be sorted, thereby improving the stability of clamping and operation.

[0021] Preferably, a pin is provided at the upper end portion of the fork sleeve, and a fixing bolt that cooperates with the forklift fork is provided at the end surface of the fork sleeve.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, after the forklift's fork is inserted into the fork sleeve, the front end of the fork cooperates with the pin shaft, and the side of the fork sleeve is connected to the side of the fork by a fixing bolt, so that the connection between the sorter and the forklift fork is tighter and more stable, and thus more stable when moving the goods to be sorted and less likely to shake. The arrangement of the pin shaft and the fixing bolt structure enables the sorter to use a variety of fork specifications, thereby improving the applicability of the sorter.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The operator uses the forklift forks and fork sleeves to match, and then the operator uses the forklift to move the picker to the top of the goods to be moved and then lower it. At this time, the horizontal clamping assembly and the vertical clamping assembly are around the goods to be moved. Then the drive assembly drives the horizontal clamping assembly and the vertical clamping assembly to clamp the goods to be moved together, and then the goods can be removed from the top. This makes it easy for the operator to remove the top layer of goods without the need for a pallet, and there is no need to start from the bottom;

[0025] 2. When the goods to be sorted are too small and the original clamping plate cannot clamp them well at the minimum size, the operator can use the handle to clamp the auxiliary plate to the inside of the clamping plate, and then clamp and move the goods to be sorted. The anti-slip grooves on the inside of the auxiliary plate also increase the friction between the auxiliary plate and the goods to be sorted, thereby improving the stability of clamping and operation;

[0026] 3. After the forklift's fork is inserted into the fork sleeve, the front end of the fork cooperates with the pin shaft, and the side of the fork sleeve is connected to the side of the fork through a fixing bolt, making the connection between the sorter and the forklift's fork tighter and more stable, and thus more stable when moving the goods to be sorted, and not prone to shaking. The setting of the pin shaft and fixing bolt structure enables the sorter to use a variety of fork specifications, improving the applicability of the sorter. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0034] The embodiment of the present application discloses a layered picker. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The layered order picker is mounted on the forklift's forks and includes two fork sleeves 11 and a hanger 1. Two sets of fork sleeves 11 are symmetrically arranged around the hanger 1 and are fixedly connected to the hanger 1. A transverse clamping assembly and a longitudinal clamping assembly are located at the bottom of the hanger 1. Two sets of drive assemblies 2 are installed on the hanger 1 to drive the transverse and longitudinal clamping assemblies. One set of drive assemblies 2 is connected to the transverse clamping assembly, and the other set is connected to the longitudinal clamping assembly. The transverse and longitudinal clamping assemblies are arranged concentrically and form a square.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 The drive assembly 2 includes a cylinder 21 and a drive plate 22. Cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hanger 1, and drive plate 22 is fixedly connected to the transverse clamping assembly and the longitudinal clamping assembly. The output end of cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to drive plate 22. The operator drives cylinder 21 to move drive plate 22, which in turn moves the transverse clamping assembly and the longitudinal clamping assembly, thereby clamping and storing the goods to be sorted.

[0036] Reference Figure 1The hanger 1 is provided with multiple sets of guide rods 23 and guide cylinders 24, the guide cylinders 24 are fixedly connected to the hanger 1, and the guide rods 23 are slidably connected to the guide cylinders 24. The end surface of the guide rod 23 away from the guide cylinder 24 is fixedly connected to the transverse clamping assembly and the longitudinal clamping assembly.

[0037] The oil cylinder 21 drives the transverse clamping assembly and the longitudinal clamping assembly to move through the driving plate 22, and then drives the guide rod 23 to move in the guide cylinder 24. The setting of the guide rod 23 and the guide cylinder 24 provides guidance and stability for the movement of the transverse clamping assembly and the longitudinal clamping assembly, thereby improving the overall operating stability of the sorter.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 Both the transverse and longitudinal clamping assemblies include a clamping arm frame 12, a baffle 13, and a clamping plate 14. The clamping arm frame 12 is vertically mounted and fixedly connected to a drive plate 22 and a guide rod 23. The baffle 13 is vertically mounted and movably mounted on the clamping arm frame 12. The clamping plate 14 is vertically mounted and fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping arm frame 12. Multiple sets of anti-slip stripes 15 are provided on the inner end surface of the clamping plate 14.

[0039] The clamping arm frame 12 is the main structure of the transverse and longitudinal clamping assemblies, providing mounting support for the baffles 13 and clamping plates 14. The operator uses a hydraulic cylinder 21 to move the drive plate 22, which in turn drives the clamping plates 14 to directly act on the goods to be sorted from all sides. The baffles 13 provide auxiliary support for the upper side of the goods, ensuring the stability of the goods during operation. The anti-slip stripes 15 enhance the friction between the clamping plates 14 and the goods, making the sorter more stable during operation.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4 The clamping arm frame 12 is provided with a plurality of adjustment assemblies 3 for adjusting the position of the baffle 13. The adjustment assemblies 3 include an adjustment base 31, an adjustment bolt 32, and an adjustment nut 33. The adjustment base 31 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the clamping arm frame 12, the adjustment bolt 32 is fixedly inserted through the adjustment base 31, and the adjustment nut 33 is threadedly connected to the adjustment bolt 32, so that the adjustment bolt 32 abuts against the adjustment base 31.

[0041] The operator adjusts the position of the baffle 13 by adjusting the positions of the adjusting nut 33 and the adjusting bolt 32 on the adjusting base 31, so that the operator can better use the baffle 13 to tighten and fix the goods to be sorted.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2The auxiliary plate 4 is mounted on the clamping plate 14. The auxiliary plate 4 is vertically mounted and connected to the clamping plate 14. Multiple sets of anti-slip stripes 15 are provided on the inner side of the auxiliary plate 4. A handle 41 is provided on the auxiliary plate 4 and is fixedly connected to the top surface of the auxiliary plate 4. When smaller items need to be clamped, the operator uses the handle 41 to sequentially clamp the auxiliary plate 4 to the inner side of the clamping plate 14, and then the items to be sorted can be clamped and moved. The anti-slip stripes on the inner side of the auxiliary plate 4 also increase the friction between the auxiliary plate 4 and the items to be sorted, thereby improving the stability of clamping and operation.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 5 The fork sleeve 11 is provided with a pin 16, and the end face of the sleeve is provided with a fixing bolt 17. The pin 16 and the fixing bolt 17 are used in conjunction with the forklift fork. After the forklift fork is inserted into the fork sleeve 11, the front end of the fork cooperates with the pin 16, and the side of the fork sleeve 11 is connected to the side of the fork via the fixing bolt 17. This makes the connection between the sorter and the forklift fork tighter and more stable, and thus more stable when moving the goods to be sorted, and less likely to shake. The arrangement of the pin 16 and the fixing bolt 17 structure enables the sorter to use a variety of fork specifications, improving the applicability of the sorter.

[0044] The operating principle of the layered picker of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when it is necessary to sort multiple layers of goods, the operator first mates the forklift forks with the fork sleeves 11, and then reinforces the forks with the pins 16 and fixing nuts; the operator then uses the forklift to move the picker to the top of the goods to be moved and lowers it, and then adjusts the baffle 13 to the appropriate position using the adjustment assembly 3. The operator then adjusts the clamping plate 14 to the appropriate position using the oil cylinder 21, thereby clamping and retracting the goods to be moved, and then the goods can be removed from above. In this way, goods can be removed from a high place without the need for a pallet. The anti-slip stripes 15 on the inner end surface of the clamping plate 14 have a good anti-slip effect, and the auxiliary plate 4 installed on the clamping plate 14 further improves the applicability of the sorter.

[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
