Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift-related technology, specifically a metal pallet for forklifts. Background Technology
[0002] Forklift pallets are widely used in logistics, warehousing, and transportation for stacking, handling, and transporting goods. They can be used in conjunction with forklifts to improve loading and unloading efficiency, such as the pallet structure disclosed in application number 201821387425.2, a labeled forklift pallet. However, when transferring goods, the pallet structure cannot handle goods of different sizes and shapes due to the different appearances and volumes of the goods. This limits the scope of use of the pallet. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a metal pallet for forklifts, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the current metal pallets on the market have too fixed a usable area, and therefore cannot be used to place goods of various different sizes.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a metal pallet for forklifts, including a connecting and fixing seat, which is generally rectangular in structure and is used to connect with an external forklift. The connecting and fixing seat is provided with fixed horizontal plates at equal intervals on its outer side. An extension mechanism is provided on the outer side of the fixed horizontal plates. The extension mechanism moves in opposite directions on the outer sides of the fixed horizontal plates to extend the size of the entire pallet.
[0005] Preferably, the fixed horizontal plate and the connecting fixing seat are installed as a whole, and the top end of the connecting fixing seat and the top end of the fixed horizontal plate are on the same plane. The interior of the connecting fixing seat is set as a hollow structure, and the hollow structure is provided with extension mechanisms at equal intervals.
[0006] Preferably, adjacent extension mechanisms are connected by a transmission mechanism, and the extension mechanisms are driven by a drive motor, which is located at the bottom of the connecting base.
[0007] Preferably, the extension mechanism includes a first extension rod, a second extension rod, a protrusion block, and a rotating gear. The first extension rod and the second extension rod are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the rotating gear, and tooth blocks are evenly distributed on the inner bottom of the first extension rod and the second extension rod, and the outer side of the tooth blocks meshes with the rotating gear.
[0008] Preferably, protrusions are integrally installed on both ends of the first and second extension rods, and the first and second extension rods move back and forth inside the connecting fixing seat. Limiting rods are evenly distributed on the top of the protrusions, and the protrusions move outside the connecting fixing seat.
[0009] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a pulley and a belt, with the belt wound around the outside of the pulley, the pulley being coaxially connected to a rotating gear, and a drive motor being coaxially connected to the bottom of one of the rotating gears.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the limiting rod is provided with a compression spring that is connected to the inner wall of the reserved groove, and the reserved groove is embedded at the top of the protrusion.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the metal pallet for the forklift;
[0012] 1. An extension mechanism is provided inside the connecting base. The first and second extension rods inside the extension mechanism move in opposite directions. In conjunction with the fixed cross plate outside the connecting base, the cross-sectional area of the entire pallet can be adjusted. Thus, the area that can be placed on the pallet can be adjusted according to the size of the goods, thereby making the pallet more widely used.
[0013] 2. When the extension mechanism is not extended, the first and second extension rods inside are in corresponding positions. The top ends of the two rods correspond to the outer sides of the fixed horizontal plates on both sides of the connecting fixed base, thus fixing the shape of the entire pallet. This makes it convenient to place and stack the pallet without taking up a lot of space.
[0014] 3. The limiting rod can move up and down inside the reserved slot. Therefore, when the goods are placed on the fixed horizontal plate and the extension rod, the goods only need to be placed in the middle position of the connecting fixed seat. Since there is no goods pressing on the top of the external limiting rod, it will limit the external position of the goods, thus ensuring that the goods will not shake and fall when transported by forklift.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a metal pallet for forklifts, including a connecting and fixing seat 1, which is generally rectangular in shape and is used to connect with an external forklift. The connecting and fixing seat 1 is provided with fixed horizontal plates 2 at equal intervals on its outer side. An extension mechanism 3 is provided on the outer side of the fixed horizontal plates 2. The extension mechanism 3 moves in opposite directions on the outer sides of the fixed horizontal plates 2 to extend the size of the entire pallet.
[0025] This application provides a metal pallet for forklifts with an extension mechanism 3. Specifically, firstly, the connecting fixing seat 1 is installed on the top of the forklift. Then, goods can be placed on the pallet. When placing goods, the size of the entire pallet needs to be adjusted according to the size of the goods. At this time, the extension mechanism 3 only needs to extend on both sides of the connecting fixing seat 1, thereby expanding the placement area of the entire pallet and enabling the placement of goods of different sizes.
[0026] Among them, according to Figure 1The fixed horizontal plate 2 and the connecting fixed base 1 are installed as a whole, and the top of the connecting fixed base 1 and the top of the fixed horizontal plate 2 are on the same plane. The interior of the connecting fixed base 1 is set as a hollow structure, and the hollow structure is provided with extension mechanisms 3 at equal intervals. By providing extension mechanisms 3 extending to both sides on the outside of the fixed horizontal plate 2 at equal intervals, the placement area on both sides of the connecting fixed base 1 can be extended to achieve the effect of size adjustment.
[0027] Furthermore, according to Figure 2-4 As shown, adjacent extension mechanisms 3 are connected by a transmission mechanism 5, and the extension mechanism 3 is driven by a drive motor 4, which is located at the bottom of the connecting fixed base 1.
[0028] When the equally spaced extension mechanisms 3 are started, the drive motor 4 needs to be started so that it drives the extension mechanism 3 at its top to work. Since the adjacent extension mechanisms 3 are connected by the transmission mechanism 5, the extension mechanism 5 can control the extension of each equally spaced extension mechanism 3.
[0029] As a further preferred embodiment, according to Figure 4-5 As shown, the extension mechanism 3 includes a first extension rod 31, a second extension rod 32, a protrusion 33, and a rotating gear 34. The first extension rod 31 and the second extension rod 32 are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the rotating gear 34, and tooth blocks are evenly distributed on the bottom inner side of the first extension rod 31 and the second extension rod 32, and the outside of the tooth blocks meshes with the rotating gear 34.
[0030] Both ends of the first extension rod 31 and the second extension rod 32 are integrally fitted with protruding blocks 33, and the first extension rod 31 and the second extension rod 32 move back and forth inside the connecting fixed seat 1. Limiting rods 6 are evenly distributed on the top of the protruding blocks 33, and the protruding blocks 33 move outside the connecting fixed seat 1.
[0031] Specifically, when the drive motor 4 is working, its top end will drive the rotating gear 34 connected to it to rotate. When the rotating gear 34 rotates, it will mesh with the tooth blocks on the inner side of the first extension rod 31 and the second extension rod 32 outside it. This causes the first extension rod 31 and the second extension rod 32 to move in opposite directions outside the rotating gear 34, thereby driving the protrusion 33 to move outward as well, thus completing the size adjustment work.
[0032] Furthermore, according to Figure 5As shown, the conveying mechanism 5 includes a pulley 51 and a belt 52, with the belt 52 wound around the outside of the pulley 51. The pulley 51 is coaxially connected to the rotating gear 34, and a drive motor 4 is coaxially connected to the bottom of one rotating gear 34. Specifically, starting the drive motor 4 will cause the rotating gear 34 at its top to rotate. Since the pulley 51 coaxially connected to the top of the rotating gear 34 is connected to the pulley 51 on the other rotating gear 34 through the belt 52, the rotating gear 34 on the other extension mechanism 3 can also be rotated. This achieves the effect of the conveying mechanism 5 driving the equally spaced extension mechanisms 3 to extend together.
[0033] Furthermore, according to Figure 6-7 As shown, the bottom of the limiting rod 6 is provided with a compression spring 8 connected to the inner wall of the reserved groove 7, and the reserved groove 7 is embedded at the top of the protrusion 33.
[0034] Specifically, when placing goods, it is necessary to control the goods to be placed in the middle of the entire pallet. Therefore, the limiting rod 6 located on the outside of the protrusion 33 will be in an upward extension state under the action of the compression spring 8. Since the limiting rod 6 is at the top of the protrusion 33, it can limit the goods on the outside, ensuring that the pallet will not fall off when it shakes during transportation.
[0035] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
[0036] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
