[0002] A forklift is a transport tool used for loading, unloading, stacking, and short-distance transportation of palletized cargo. It is commonly used for transporting large objects in warehouses and is widely used in existing technologies. When a forklift is in use, the object is typically placed on a pallet, and the forklift extends its fork arm into the pallet to move the pallet and the objects on it.

[0003] Most existing pallets are double-sided, "T-shaped" pallets. They have a base plate at the bottom to ensure strength, and longitudinal slots for forklifts to pick up pallets. When using existing forklifts, the driver relies on experience and personal instinct to determine the proper insertion depth, or they receive guidance from other staff. When forklifts pick up pallets of varying sizes, the fork arm's insertion depth cannot be accurately determined. This can lead to the fork arm's load-bearing wheels becoming lodged in the pallet's base plate, preventing the fork arm from supporting the pallet and causing damage. Utility Model Content

[0017] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0018] A preferred embodiment of the wheel wear reduction device of the present utility model is as follows Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the wheel wear reduction device includes a support plate 1, a baffle 2 and a limit block 3, which are fixedly connected to each other. In this embodiment, the support plate 1, the baffle 2 and the limit block 3 are made of a wooden structure.

[0019] Support plate 1 is used to support fork arm 5 of forklift 4. Support plate 1 has a length and a width. The length of support plate 1 is the same as the length of fork arm 5 when assembled on fork arm 5, and the width of support plate 1 is the same as the width of fork arm 5 when assembled on fork arm 5. Baffle 2 is fixedly mounted on one end of the length of support plate 1. Specifically, baffle 2 is located at the end of support plate 1 that is away from pallet 7 when assembled on fork arm 5. Baffle 2 is used to abut against forklift 4 along the length of fork arm 5. The provision of baffle 2 increases the contact area and strength between the wheel friction reduction device and forklift 4, making it easier to use.

[0020] The support plate 1 has an abutment surface at one end away from the baffle 2, which is used to abut the pallet 7 along the length of the fork arm 5. When the wheel friction reducing device is assembled on the fork arm 5 of the forklift 4, the abutment surface abuts the pallet 7, and the baffle 2 abuts the forklift 4, so that the wheel friction reducing device is clamped between the pallet 7 and the forklift 4 along the length of the fork arm 5. The length of the support plate 1 determines the depth of the fork arm 5 inserted into the pallet 7. The operator of the forklift 4 can determine the depth of the fork arm 5 inserted into the pallet 7 based on the contact between the pallet 7 and the abutment surface.

[0021] The limit block 3 is fixedly connected to the support plate 1 and is arranged at the end of the support plate 1 away from the baffle 2. The limit block 3 is engaged with the fork arm 5 of the forklift 4 along the width direction of the support plate 1 to limit the width of the support plate 1 and the fork arm 5, preventing the wheel friction reducing device from moving in the left and right direction on the fork arm 5.

[0022] When the pallet 7 is picked up by a forklift 4, the wheel wear reducing device is placed on the fork arm 5 of the forklift 4, and the limit block 3 fixedly connected to the support plate 1 is clamped with the fork arm 5 of the forklift 4 in the width direction to position the support plate 1 and ensure that the support plate 1 is fixed on the fork arm 5; at the same time, an abutment surface is provided at one end of the support plate 1 in the length direction to abut against the pallet 7, and a baffle 2 is provided at the other end to abut against the forklift 4, that is, the support plate 1 is located between the pallet 7 and the forklift 4, and the support plate 1 is used to limit the depth of the fork arm 5 entering the pallet 7. The operator can effectively judge the insertion depth by the abutment between the pallet 7 and the supporting surface, thereby eliminating errors in human judgment and ensuring that the load-bearing wheel 6 of the fork arm 5 can be supported on the ground and will not be damaged due to being stuck on the pallet 7.

[0023] Preferably, the baffle 2 is perpendicular to the support plate 1 , and has a stop surface 21 on a side of the baffle 2 facing away from the abutting surface. The stop surface 21 abuts against the forklift 4 along the length direction of the fork arm 5 .

[0024] The baffle 2 has a stop surface 21 to abut against the forklift 4 along the length direction of the fork arm 5. The contact area between the stop surface 21 and the forklift 4 is large, which can ensure that the baffle 2 is evenly stressed along the length direction of the fork arm 5, avoiding uneven stress at both ends of the baffle 2 and torque deflection.

[0025] Preferably, one end of the support plate 1 in the longitudinal direction has an end surface 12 , and the end surface 12 is flush with the stopping surface 21 .

[0026] The end face 12 of the support plate 1 is flush with the stop face 21 of the baffle 2. The end face 12 of the support plate 1 and the stop face 21 of the baffle 2 can synchronously abut against the forklift 4, increasing the contact area with the forklift 4, so that the support plate 1 and the baffle 2 are synchronously subjected to the force along the length direction of the fork arm 5, avoiding stress concentration at the connection position of the support plate 1 and the baffle 2, and extending the service life of the device.

[0027] Preferably, there are two limit blocks 3, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the support plate 1 in the width direction. A space for the fork arm 5 to pass through is formed between the two limit blocks 3. The two limit blocks 3 have a clamping surface 31 on the side close to each other, and the clamping surface 31 abuts against the fork arm 5 along the width direction of the support plate 1.

[0028] The fork arm 5 passes between the two limit blocks 3. When the wheel friction reduction device is in use, the two limit blocks 3 are located outside the fork arm 5. The space between the two limit blocks 3 is large enough to meet the width adjustment requirements when the fork arm 5 is inserted into the tray 7, and also to avoid interference between the limit blocks 3 and the fork arm 5. The side of the limit blocks 3 that is close to each other is a snap-on surface 31. The contact between the snap-on surface 31 and the fork arm 5 determines the position of the limit blocks 3 and the support plate 1. The large contact area between the snap-on surface 31 and the fork arm 5 ensures that the limit blocks 3 are evenly stressed and prevents deflection of the limit blocks 3 and the support plate 1.

[0029] Preferably, the limiting block 3 is perpendicular to the supporting plate 1 , and a limiting surface 32 is provided on a side of the limiting block 3 facing away from the baffle 2 , and the limiting surface 32 is flush with the abutting surface.

[0030] The limiting surface 32 of the limiting block 3 is flush with the abutting surface, and the limiting block 3 and the support plate 1 can abut against the tray 7 together, increasing the contact area with the tray 7, avoiding stress concentration at the connection position of the limiting block 3 and the support plate 1, and extending the service life.

[0031] The present utility model also provides a preferred embodiment of a forklift, comprising a fork arm 5, a load-bearing wheel 6 rotatably mounted on the bottom of the fork arm 5, and a clip supported on the fork arm 5. The specific structure of the clip is the same as the specific structure of the wheel friction reducing device in any of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0032] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide a wheel friction reduction device and a forklift, which, when a forklift is used to pick up a pallet, the wheel friction reduction device is placed on the fork arm of the forklift, and a limit block is fixedly connected to the support plate and clamped with the fork arm of the forklift in the width direction to position the support plate and ensure that the support plate is fixed on the fork arm; at the same time, an abutment surface is provided at one end of the support plate in the length direction to abut against the pallet, and a baffle is provided at the other end to abut against the forklift, that is, the support plate is located between the pallet and the forklift, and the support plate is used to limit the depth of the fork arm entering the pallet. The operator can effectively judge the insertion depth by the abutment between the pallet and the support surface, thereby eliminating errors in human judgment and ensuring that the load-bearing wheel of the fork arm can be supported on the ground and will not be damaged due to being stuck on the pallet.

[0033] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
