[0027] It should be understood that although terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used herein to describe various components or features, these components or features should not be limited by these terms. These terms are primarily used to distinguish one component from another, or one feature from another. In addition, the term "or" used herein may include any one or more combinations of the associated listed items, depending on the actual situation.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, it is the first embodiment of the present utility model. Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment discloses a transport device 1000, which can be used in a warehouse system, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the transport device 1000 includes a main unit 200 and a vibration-suppressing fork arm 100 mounted (e.g., pivotally connected) to the main unit 200. The structure and type of the main unit 200 can be adjusted and varied according to actual needs, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0029] It should be noted that while the vibration-suppressing fork arm 100 is described in this embodiment as being coupled to the main unit 200, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the vibration-suppressing fork arm 100 may be used independently (e.g., for sale) or in combination with other components, depending on actual needs.

[0030] More specifically, the vibration-suppressing fork arm 100 in this embodiment includes a supporting arm assembly 1 pivotally connected to the main body 200, and a passive vibration-suppressing mechanism 2 installed within the supporting arm assembly 1. The supporting arm assembly 1 is formed with a receiving hole 111, and the passive vibration-suppressing mechanism 2 is located within the receiving hole 111. The receiving hole 111 can be through-shaped according to actual needs (e.g., Figure 2 ) or non-penetrating shape (not shown in the figure), the present invention is not limited here.

[0031] Furthermore, the specific structure or configuration of the load-bearing arm group 1 can be adjusted and changed according to actual needs. In this embodiment, only one optional specific structure or configuration is described in the following content; that is, the load-bearing arm group 1 can have at least some of the following features to facilitate matching with the passive vibration suppression mechanism 2 to provide an optional vibration suppression effect.

[0032] Specifically, the supporting arm assembly 1 in this embodiment includes an arm body 11 pivotally connected to the host 200, a fixing seat 12 fixed to the arm body 11, a plurality of shock-absorbing washers 13 installed on the arm body 11, and a plurality of positioning pins 14 corresponding to the plurality of shock-absorbing washers 13, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0033] The arm 11 is formed with the receiving hole 111 and a plurality of through holes 112 (e.g., three through holes 112) distributed outside the receiving hole 111. The receiving hole 111 is optionally located within a layout area R defined by the plurality of through holes 112. From another perspective, the arm 11 in this embodiment is generally plate-shaped and has a second section 113 pivotally connected to the main unit 200, and a first section 114 connected to the second section 113. The size of the first section 114 is optionally not larger than the size of the second section 113.

[0034] In some embodiments, one of the through holes 112 is located at the front end of the first section 114, while the other two through holes 112 are located at the junction of the first section 114 and the second section 113. Therefore, the layout area R is generally located in the first section 114, and the scope of the layout area R generally follows the contour of the first section 114. Furthermore, by providing the through holes 112 at the junction of the first section 114 and the second section 113, the layout area R is isolated from other operating areas, reducing mutual interference and improving performance and reliability.

[0035] The fixing base 12 is located within the receiving hole 111 and is fixed to the inner wall of one side of the receiving hole 111, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the arm 11 and the fixing base 12 may also be integrally formed as a single piece according to actual needs.

[0036] The plurality of anti-vibration washers 13 are respectively disposed within the plurality of through holes 112, and a portion (e.g., the top) of each anti-vibration washer 13 protrudes from the corresponding through hole 112. The plurality of positioning pins 14 are respectively inserted into the plurality of anti-vibration washers 13 (i.e., the plurality of positioning pins 14 are disposed in the first section 114 of the arm 11), and each positioning pin 14 presses against the portion of the corresponding anti-vibration washer 13 without directly contacting the arm 11.

[0037] The above describes the structure of the support arm assembly 1 in this embodiment. The following describes the structure of the passive vibration suppression mechanism 2. The passive vibration suppression mechanism 2 is located within the receiving hole 111 of the arm body 11; that is, the passive vibration suppression mechanism 2 is configured in the first section 114 and within the layout area R defined by the plurality of through holes 112.

[0038] More specifically, the passive vibration suppression mechanism 2 in this embodiment includes a damper 21 mounted on the support arm assembly 1 (e.g., the fixing base 12), a mass 22 mounted on the damper 21, and N counterweights 23 (N is a positive integer) selectively disposed on the mass 22, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, when the mass 22 meets the requirements, the N counterweights 23 may be omitted; that is, N may be 0.

[0039] In this embodiment, the two ends of the damper 21 are respectively inserted into the mass block 22 and the fixing base 12. The shape of the mass block 22 is generally corresponding to and slightly smaller than the receiving hole 111. In addition, the mass block 22 and the N counterweights 23 do not touch the support arm assembly 1. Furthermore, the number of fixing bases 12 and the number of dampers 21 are each illustrated as two in this embodiment, so that the two ends of the mass block 22 can be fixed to the two fixing bases 12 via two dampers 21, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0040] Therefore, under the condition that the mass block 22 and the N counterweight blocks 23 do not touch the supporting arm group 1, the relative positions of the mass block 22 and the N counterweight blocks 23 can be adjusted according to actual needs; for example, the N counterweight blocks 23 can be arranged at least one of below and above the mass block 22.

[0041] According to the above, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 ,and Figures 6 to 8 As shown, when the shock-absorbing fork arm 100 transports a cargo M with the carrying arm group 1 and the main machine 200 generates a vibration, the mass block 22 (and the N counterweight blocks 23) do not touch the cargo M, and the passive shock-absorbing mechanism 2 can generate a reverse vibration that offsets at least part of the vibration.

[0042] Therefore, in this embodiment, the handling equipment 1000 can effectively offset at least part of the vibration through the structural combination between the carrying arm group 1 and the passive vibration suppression mechanism 2, and thus does not need to spend a lot of time adjusting its operation to reduce the vibration value to which the vibration-suppressing fork arm 100 is subjected, which is beneficial to improving the handling stability and efficiency of the handling equipment 1000.

[0043] Furthermore, the structural configuration of the shock-absorbing fork arm 100 in this embodiment can be achieved by modifying the existing fork arm; alternatively, the existing handling equipment can directly adopt the shock-absorbing fork arm 100 to replace its original fork arm to achieve the shock-absorbing effect, thereby facilitating a wider application in existing equipment in this field.

[0044] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the vibration-damping fork arm 100 uses a plurality of positioning pins 14 inserted into the cargo M to carry the cargo, so that the plurality of vibration-damping washers 13 can absorb some of the vibration, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the plurality of vibration-damping washers 13 and the plurality of positioning pins 14 of the load-bearing arm assembly 1 can be omitted or replaced with other components based on actual needs; or, in situations where the vibration-damping fork arm 100 faces less stringent vibration-damping requirements, the plurality of vibration-damping washers 13 can be omitted, and the plurality of positioning pins 14 can be directly inserted and fixed in the plurality of through holes 112.

[0045] In addition, the shock-absorbing fork arm 100 in this embodiment may further include at least one cargo sensor 3 installed on the arm body 11 according to actual needs, and its position can be optionally adjacent to any of the positioning pins 14, so as to accurately determine whether the shock-absorbing fork arm 100 accurately carries the cargo M.

[0046] [Technical effects of the embodiment of the utility model]

[0047] To sum up, the handling equipment and shock-absorbing fork arm disclosed in the embodiment of the utility model can effectively offset at least part of the vibration through the structural combination between the load-bearing arm group and the passive shock-absorbing mechanism, thereby eliminating the need to spend a lot of time adjusting its operation to reduce the vibration value to which the shock-absorbing fork arm is subjected, thereby improving the handling stability and efficiency of the handling equipment.

[0048] Furthermore, the structural configuration of the shock-absorbing fork arm in this embodiment can be achieved by modifying the existing fork arm; alternatively, the existing handling equipment can directly replace its original fork arm with the shock-absorbing fork arm to achieve the shock-absorbing effect, thereby facilitating a wider application in existing equipment in this field.
