Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution for a rotary extended grab arm of a forklift, including a mounting seat 3, a rotating connecting seat 4 is provided on the mounting seat 3, an extension arm 2 is movably installed on the rotating connecting seat 4, a positioning seat 1 is provided on the extension arm 2, and a rotating mechanism 5 is provided between the extension arm 2 and the mounting seat 3. The rotating mechanism 5 includes a retaining frame 504 fixedly mounted on the mounting seat 3, an outer gear ring 501 is fixedly mounted on one end of the extension arm 2, and a clamping mechanism 6 is provided in the positioning seat 1. The clamping mechanism 6 can clamp irregular workpieces, and the rotating mechanism 5 can rotate with the clamping mechanism 6, so as to facilitate clamping workpieces from different angles.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the rotating mechanism 5 includes a retaining frame 504 fixedly mounted on the mounting seat 3, an outer ring gear 501 fixedly mounted on one end of the extension arm 2, a planetary gear 505 movably mounted on the retaining frame 504, a driving motor 503 fixedly mounted on the positioning seat 1, a driving shaft 502 fixedly mounted on the output end of the driving motor 503, a limiting sleeve 507 rotatably mounted on the driving shaft 502, an internal gear 506 fixedly mounted on the limiting sleeve 507, a limiting rod 509 connected to the limiting sleeve 507, an electric push rod 508 fixedly mounted inside the driving shaft 502, and the output end of the electric push rod 508 fixed on the limiting rod 509.

[0024] Specifically, after the electric push rod 508 is retracted, the limit rod 509 will be stuck in the limit sleeve 507. When the limit rod 509 is stuck in the limit sleeve 507, the drive motor 503 can be used to drive the drive shaft 502 to rotate. After the drive shaft 502 rotates, it will drive the internal gear 506 on the limit sleeve 507 to rotate. After the internal gear 506 rotates, it will drive the outer ring gear 501 to rotate around the planetary gear 505, thereby driving the extension arm 2 to rotate, making it easier to clamp the workpiece from different angles.

[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the clamping mechanism 6 includes a clamping arm 601 movably mounted in the positioning seat 1, a connecting leg 603 is provided on the clamping arm 601, a driving frame 606 is movably mounted between the connecting legs 603, a screw nut 604 is fixedly mounted on the driving frame 606, a threaded screw 607 is connected to the screw nut 604, one end of the threaded screw 607 is connected to a transmission shaft 608, a clutch 605 is provided on the transmission shaft 608, a connecting shaft 609 is provided between the drive shaft 502 and the clutch 605, a movable shaft 602 is provided on the clamping arm 601, and the clamping arm 601 is movably mounted in the positioning seat 1 through the movable shaft 602.

[0026] Specifically, the driving shaft 502 can drive the connecting shaft 609 to rotate, and after the connecting shaft 609 rotates, it drives the transmission shaft 608 to rotate. After the transmission shaft 608 rotates, it drives the threaded screw 607 to rotate. During the rotation of the threaded screw 607, it drives the driving frame 606 on the screw nut 604 to move forward and backward. When the driving frame 606 moves forward, the clamping arm 601 will expand, and when the driving frame 606 moves backward, the clamping arm 601 will close, thereby clamping irregular workpieces.

[0027] Working principle: when in use, first install the entire device on the mast system of the forklift through the mounting base 3, and then the clutch 605 can be controlled to engage. After the clutch 605 is engaged, the drive motor 503 can be started. After starting the drive motor 503, it will drive the drive shaft 502 to rotate. After the drive shaft 502 rotates, it will drive the connecting shaft 609 to rotate. After the connecting shaft 609 rotates, it will drive the transmission shaft 608 to rotate. After the transmission shaft 608 rotates, it will drive the threaded screw 607 to rotate. During the rotation of the threaded screw 607, it will drive the drive frame 606 on the screw nut 604 to move back and forth. When the drive frame 606 moves forward, the clamping arm 601 will expand, and when the drive frame 606 moves backward, the clamping arm 601 will close, thereby clamping The clutch 605 can be controlled to disengage, and the electric push rod 508 can be retracted after the clutch 605 is disengaged. After the electric push rod 508 is retracted, the limit rod 509 will be stuck in the limit sleeve 507, so that the limit sleeve 507 cannot rotate on the drive shaft 502. At this time, the drive shaft 502 will drive the inner gear 506 on the limit sleeve 507 to rotate. Since the inner gear 506 is engaged with the planetary gear 505, the planetary gear 505 is movably installed in the outer ring gear 501 through the retaining frame 504, and the planetary gear 505 is engaged with the outer ring gear 501. Therefore, after the inner gear 506 rotates, it will drive the outer ring gear 501 to rotate around the planetary gear 505, thereby driving the extension arm 2 to rotate, which is convenient for clamping workpieces from different angles.

[0028] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
