[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.
[0025] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and some will become apparent from the following description or be learned through practice of the present invention.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a forklift fork frame strength testing device includes a base plate 1, on the top of which a portal frame 2 and a mounting seat 3 are fixedly mounted; two testing mechanisms 5 for performing downward pressure, side push and torsion tests on the fork frame 4 are symmetrically provided inside the portal frame 2, and a control mechanism 6 for controlling its longitudinal movement is provided at the top of the portal frame 2 corresponding to the positions of the two testing mechanisms 5.
[0027] The fork frame 4 includes a mounting frame 401 and two forks 402 . The mounting frame 401 is provided with an adjustment mechanism 403 for adjusting the distance between the two forks 402 .
[0028] like Figures 5 to 8As shown, the test mechanism 5 includes a test piece 501, and a torsion component 7 is provided on the side of the test piece 501 close to the side wall of the portal frame 2, and an engaging groove 502 is provided on the bottom of the test piece 501 away from the torsion component 7. A resistance plate 503 is fixedly installed inside the engaging groove 502, and the engaging groove 502 includes a horizontal area and an inclined area. The resistance plate 503 is adapted to the engaging groove 502, and a rubber layer is provided on the surface of the resistance plate 503 to prevent scratches or abrasions on the surface of the fork frame 4. At the same time, the detachable structure of the resistance plate 503 allows the resistance plate 503 to be replaced separately, thereby reducing the use cost of the equipment.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the control mechanism 6 includes a hydraulic cylinder 601 fixedly mounted on the top of the portal frame 2, and a connecting plate 602 is fixedly provided at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 601. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 601 passes through the portal frame 2, and the connecting plate 602 is located on the inner side of the portal frame 2. The connecting plate 602 is fixedly mounted on the test piece 501 by bolts.
[0030] In summary, when the fork 402 corresponds to the horizontal area of the fitting groove 502, the hydraulic cylinder 601 controls the test piece 501 to move downward, so that the contact plate 503 at the bottom of the test piece 501 presses down on the fork 402, simulating a vertical pressure test when the fork frame 4 carries cargo; when the fork 402 corresponds to the inclined area of the fitting groove 502, the hydraulic cylinder 601 controls the test piece 501 to move downward, so that the contact plate 503 at the bottom of the test piece 501 presses down on the fork 402, simulating a lateral force test when the cargo tilts or the vehicle turns; The distance between the two forks 402 can be flexibly adjusted according to different working environments (in actual working scenarios, the size, shape and storage layout of the goods vary greatly, and different working environments have different requirements for the distance between the forks 402. For example, in narrow shelf aisles, a smaller distance between the forks 402 may be required; while when transporting large and wide goods, a larger distance between the forks 402 is required), thereby meeting diverse needs and enabling detection work to be carried out smoothly under various actual working conditions, greatly improving the versatility and applicability of the detection device.
[0031] like Figures 5 to 8As shown, the torsion assembly 7 includes a torsion roller 701 rotatably connected to the test piece 501, and an engaging groove 702 and a plurality of meshing grooves 703 are provided on the outer surface of the torsion roller 701. The torsion roller 701 is connected to the gear shaft 704 through the meshing groove 703. The side wall of the portal frame 2 is fixedly installed with a rack 8 adapted to the gear shaft 704. The position of the test piece 501 corresponding to the torsion roller 701 is provided with a first rotating hole 5011, and the bottom of the first rotating hole 5011 is open. The position of the test piece 501 corresponding to the gear shaft 704 is provided with a second rotating hole 5012, the second rotating hole 5012 is connected to the first rotating hole 5011, and the side of the second rotating hole 5012 facing the side wall of the portal frame 2 is open. The gear shaft 704 is connected to the second rotating hole 5012 through the elastic member rotating shaft 705. The engaging groove 702 is adapted to the fork 402, and the opening of the engaging groove 702 is formed with an inclined surface.
[0032] To summarize, when the fork 402 corresponds to the engagement groove 702 of the torsion roller 701, the hydraulic cylinder 601 controls the test piece 501 to move downward, thereby allowing the fork 402 to enter the engagement groove 702 of the torsion roller 701. Then, the test piece 501 is further controlled to move downward, so that the gear shaft 704 cooperates with the rack 8 to cause the torsion roller 701 to rotate, thereby simulating a torsional load test caused by uneven ground or shifted center of gravity of the cargo when the fork frame 4 is inserted into the cargo. By testing these different types of strength, the performance of the fork frame 4 under various actual working conditions can be comprehensively evaluated, ensuring that the fork frame 4 can operate safely and reliably in complex working environments.
[0033] The working process is as follows:
[0034] S1: If Figure 1 As shown, when in use, the mounting frame 401 of the fork frame 4 is fixed to the mounting base 3 by bolts, and then the distance between the two forks 402 can be adjusted by the adjustment mechanism 403;
[0035] S2: If Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the fork 402 corresponds to the horizontal area of the fitting groove 502, the hydraulic cylinder 601 controls the test piece 501 to move downward, so that the contact plate 503 at the bottom of the test piece 501 presses down the fork 402, simulating the vertical pressure when the fork frame 4 carries the cargo;
[0036] S3: If Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, when the fork 402 corresponds to the inclined area of the fitting groove 502, the hydraulic cylinder 601 controls the test piece 501 to move downward, so that the contact plate 503 at the bottom of the test piece 501 presses down on the fork 402, simulating the lateral force when the cargo rolls or the vehicle turns;
[0037] S4: As Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the fork 402 corresponds to the engagement groove 702 of the torsion roller 701, the hydraulic cylinder 601 controls the test piece 501 to move downward, thereby allowing the fork 402 to enter the engagement groove 702 of the torsion roller 701. The test piece 501 is then controlled to move downward, so that the gear shaft 704 cooperates with the rack 8 to cause the torsion roller 701 to rotate (after the gear shaft 704 engages with the rack 8, as the test piece 501 moves downward, the gear shaft 704 rotates. The cooperation between the gear shaft 704 and the plurality of engagement grooves 703 then causes the torsion roller 701 to rotate. At this time, the elastic member in the elastic member shaft 705 is in a torsion state), simulating a torsional load caused by an uneven ground surface or a shift in the center of gravity of the cargo when the fork frame 4 is inserted into the cargo.
[0038] S5: The force exerted on the fork frame 4 can be determined by the control system of the hydraulic cylinder 601 (the hydraulic cylinder 601 transmits pressure through hydraulic oil, converting liquid pressure energy into mechanical thrust; and according to Pascal's law, the pressure in a closed liquid is equal everywhere, so the thrust of the hydraulic cylinder 601 is directly related to the piston area and the system pressure).
[0039] S6: After the test is completed, the test piece 501 is controlled to move upward by the hydraulic cylinder 601. At this time, the torsion roller 701 can be reset by the cooperation between the gear shaft 704 and the rack 8 (that is, the engagement groove 702 of the torsion roller 701 is opened downward). At the same time, the elastic member shaft 705 is provided to enable the torsion roller 701 to maintain its original position when not subject to external force.
[0040] The hydraulic cylinder 601 , the control system of the hydraulic cylinder 601 , and the fork frame 4 described in this application are well-known technologies in the technical field, and therefore their specific structures and working principles are not described in detail.
[0041] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such changes and improvements shall fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
