Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of logistics equipment testing, and in particular to a calibration test bench for a fork anti-collision component. Background Art

[0002] In logistics equipment, a fork is a component installed at the end of a stacker or forklift for picking up pallets. In a pallet-level pallet storage solution, goods are placed on pallets (such as a square pallet), and the pallets are placed in the cargo space of the shelf. The stacker or forklift uses the fork to pick up the pallet and place it or take it away from the shelf to complete the pallet picking up and placing. In the process of picking up and placing the pallet, the fork is prone to collision with the pallet, causing the pallet to fall. In order to avoid the occurrence of collision accidents between the fork and the pallet, the staff usually install a fork anti-collision component at the end of the fork to detect abnormalities. The usual fork anti-collision component generally includes a collision head and a sensor. The collision head is connected to the sensor through a connecting rod. Under normal conditions, the collision head will not cause a collision. When there is an abnormality, the collision head will collide with the abnormal object and trigger the sensor to generate an alarm message, stopping the fork from continuing to move.

[0003] In order to ensure that the fork anti-collision component can work properly, it is necessary to perform an anti-collision test on the fork anti-collision component before assembling and installing it on the fork.

[0004] However, there is currently a lack of calibrated test benches capable of testing fork anti-collision components. Utility Model Content

In another feasible implementation, the collision assembly also includes a mounting base, which is fixedly arranged at an end of the base, and the buffer components are detachably mounted on the mounting base.

[0015] In a feasible implementation, the testing device of the fork anti-collision component further includes a guide assembly, which is arranged on the base, and the slide is connected to the guide assembly, and the slide moves along the length direction of the base through the guide assembly.

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0035] In logistics equipment, a fork is a component installed at the end of a stacker or forklift for picking up pallets. In a pallet-level pallet storage solution, goods are placed on pallets (such as a square pallet), and the pallets are placed in the cargo space of the shelf. The stacker or forklift uses the fork to pick up the pallet and place it or take it away from the shelf to complete the pallet picking up and placing. In the process of picking up and placing the pallet, the fork is prone to collision with the pallet, causing the pallet to fall. In order to avoid the occurrence of collision accidents between the fork and the pallet, staff usually install a fork anti-collision component at the end of the fork to detect abnormalities. The usual fork anti-collision component generally includes a collision head and a sensor. The collision head is connected to the sensor through a connecting rod. Under normal conditions, the collision head will not cause a collision. When there is an abnormality, the collision head will collide with the abnormal object and trigger the sensor to generate an alarm message, stopping the fork from continuing to move.

[0036] In order to ensure that the fork anti-collision component can work properly, it is necessary to perform an anti-collision test on the fork anti-collision component before assembling and installing it on the fork.

[0037] However, there is currently a lack of equipment that can test the fork's anti-collision components.

[0038] In order to test the fork anti-collision component, an embodiment of the present application provides a testing device for the fork anti-collision component. The solution provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in the specification.

[0039] Figure 1 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a testing device for a fork anti-collision component provided in one embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A top view of the test device for the fork anti-collision component; Figure 3 yes Figure 1 Assembly drawing of some parts of the test device for the fork anti-collision component.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a testing device for a fork anti-collision component, comprising a base 100, a slide 200, a collision assembly 300 and a drive assembly 400. The slide 200 is slidably fitted on the base 100, and the slide 200 can move along the length direction of the base 100. For example, the slide 200 can be slidably fitted on the base 100 by means of a card slot fit. The fork anti-collision component 600 is fixed to the slide 200 by a fixing assembly, and the fork anti-collision component 600 slides along the base 100 together with the slide 200. The collision information or collision signal recorded by the fork anti-collision component 600 is sent to the corresponding information receiving device by wireless transmission. This is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. The collision assembly 300 is arranged on the base 100, for example, it can be arranged at any end of the base 100, or in the middle of the base 100, or can also be arranged at other positions.

[0041] The drive assembly 400 is connected to the slide 200 and drives the slide 200 to move along the length of the base 100. For example, the drive assembly 400 is mounted on the base 100, but it can also be mounted elsewhere, such as on the ground. It can be a motor drive assembly, a hydraulic drive assembly, or other linear drive assembly. The drive assembly 400 drives the slide 200 along the base 100, causing the fork anti-collision component 600 on the slide 200 to collide with the collision assembly 300, thereby simulating a collision between the fork anti-collision component 600 and a shelf or pallet, thereby testing whether the fork anti-collision component 600 is functioning properly.

[0042] Exemplarily, the collision assembly 300 includes a collision block, which is directly or indirectly fixed to the end of the base 100. The drive assembly 400 drives the slide 200 to move along the base 100 so that the fork anti-collision component 600 collides with the collision block, simulating the situation where the fork anti-collision component 600 collides with the shelf or pallet. The collision block can be made of metal or other materials. In some examples, the collision assembly is provided with multiple groups of collision blocks 320, and the multiple groups of collision blocks correspond to different positions of the fork anti-collision component 600. During testing, at least one of the multiple groups of collision blocks 320 exists.

[0043] For example, the collision block can be made of an elastic material, such as a rubber block. It is understood that an elastic collision block can reduce damage to both the fork's anti-collision component and the collision block during collision. The shape of the collision block can also be customized based on the requirements of the collision test, for example, it can be a cuboid, cylinder, or sphere.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some examples, the collision assembly 300 further includes at least one buffer component 310, which is disposed on the base 100, and the collision block is disposed on the buffer component 310, and the buffer component 310 is used to buffer the collision between the fork anti-collision component 600 and the collision block.

[0045] In some examples, the collision assembly 300 includes multiple buffer components 310, which are sequentially mounted on the base 100, and the collision blocks 320 are mounted on corresponding buffer components 310. Alternatively, the same collision block can be mounted on multiple buffer components 310. When testing the fork collision prevention component's response to different collision locations, different buffer components 310 and collision blocks can be selected based on the predetermined collision locations.

[0046] Exemplarily, the buffer component 310 may be a spring or a gas spring, or a damping rod, or the buffer component 310 may be a retractable spring rod.

[0047] In some examples, the collision assembly 300 further includes a mounting seat 330 , which is fixedly disposed at the end of the base 100 , and the buffer component 310 is detachably disposed on the mounting seat 330 , thereby facilitating selection of which buffer components 310 and buffer blocks to retain for testing.

[0048] Figure 4 This is a diagram of a first working state of a testing device for a fork anti-collision component provided in one embodiment of the present application; Figure 5 This is a diagram of a second working state of the testing device for the fork anti-collision component provided in one embodiment of the present application; Figure 6 This is a diagram of the third working state of the testing device for the fork anti-collision component provided in one embodiment of the present application.

[0049] Reference Figure 3 As shown in FIG, when testing the reaction of the front end surface of the fork anti-collision component 600 to collision with other objects, all the buffer components 310 and the collision block can be installed on the base 100. At this time, the front end surface of the fork anti-collision component 600 will collide with the collision block at the same time. When it is necessary to test the reaction of the middle position of the fork anti-collision component 600 to collision with other objects, the buffer component 310 and the collision block corresponding to the middle position of the fork anti-collision component can be retained, such as Figure 5 When it is necessary to test the reaction of the fork anti-collision component 600 on both sides to collision with other objects, the buffer component 310 and the collision block at the side positions corresponding to the fork anti-collision component 600 can be retained, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 or Figure 6 shown.

[0050] In some examples, the fork anti-collision component calibration test bench further includes a guide assembly disposed on the base 100 along the length of the base 100. The slide 200 is connected to the guide assembly, and the slide 200 moves along the length of the base 100 via the guide assembly. For example, the guide assembly can be a slide rail, a guide rail, a slide rod, or a guide rod, and the specific structure is not further described.

[0051] To facilitate securing the fork anti-collision component 600 to the slide 200, the slide 200 is provided with a clamp 500 for securing the fork anti-collision component to the slide 200. This clamp 500 can be configured as a connecting rod quick-release clamp 500 to facilitate assembly and disassembly of the fork anti-collision component 600. The connecting rod quick-release clamp 500 is known in the art and will not be described in detail here. The clamp 500 may also be another type of clamping component, depending on the structure of the fork anti-collision component and the required fixation.

[0052] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 400 includes a drive motor 410 and a transmission assembly 420. The drive motor 410 is fixedly disposed at the end of the base 100. The drive motor 410 is connected to the slide 200 through the transmission assembly 420. The drive motor 410 drives the slide 200 to move through the transmission assembly 420. The transmission assembly 420 can be configured as one of a belt drive assembly, a chain drive assembly, or a screw and nut drive assembly.

[0053] For example, the transmission assembly 420 in the present application is configured as a screw-nut transmission assembly, including a transmission screw and a transmission nut. The transmission screw is arranged on the base 100 along the length direction of the base 100. The drive motor 410 is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission screw via a coupling. The transmission nut is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the slide 200 and the transmission nut cooperates with the transmission screw. The drive motor 410 drives the slide 200 to move along the base 100 via the transmission screw and the transmission nut.

[0054] It is easy to understand that those skilled in the art can combine, split, reorganize, etc. the embodiments of the present application based on the several embodiments provided in the present application to obtain other embodiments, and these embodiments do not exceed the scope of protection of the present application.

[0055] The above specific implementation methods further explain in detail the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the above are only specific implementation methods of the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made on the basis of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application.
