Detailed Implementation
[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Example:
[0023] Reference Figure 1-3 The present invention discloses a foldable stacking container stacker, including a stacking frame 1 and forks 8 disposed on one side thereon. A storage shell 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the stacking frame 1, and the forks 8 are rotatably disposed between the side walls of the storage shell 5.
[0024] Both sides of the fork 8 are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 19, and the upper end of the connecting plate 19 is fixedly connected to the rope 7. The rope 7 passes through the upper end of the storage shell 5 and is equipped with a drum 2. The drum 2 is installed on the upper end of the stacker 1 through the mounting plate.
[0025] Two lifting platforms 10 are provided at the lower end of the fork 8, and the lifting platforms 10 are slidably disposed on one side of the stacker 1.
[0026] In this embodiment, the lifting platform 10 can cooperate with a lifting assembly (not shown in the figure). The lifting assembly can be a stacking hydraulic cylinder. A lifting plate 20 is fixedly connected between the inner top wall and the inner bottom wall of the stacker 1. A stacking groove is provided on one side of the lifting plate 20. The stacking hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the inner top wall of the stacking groove, and the output end of the stacking hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the lifting platform 10, so as to realize the up and down movement of the lifting platform 10. The lifting platform 10 can drive the forks 8 to move up and down. When the forks 8 are not needed, the drum 2 is rotated, and the rope 7 gradually wraps around the surface of the drum 2. The rope 7 can pull the forks 8 to rotate around the pivot, so that the forks 8 can be folded into the storage shell 5. A winding motor 3 is installed on one side of the stacker 1. Figure 1 (marked at the point), the output end of the winding motor 3 is fixed to one side of the drum 2, and a connecting rod 4 is fixedly connected between the two drums 2. Movable grooves 21 are provided on both sides of the storage shell 5, and the rotating shaft of the storage shell 5 slides up and down in the movable grooves 21.
[0027] For further details, please refer to Figure 3 A connector is provided between the lifting platform 10 and the forks 8. The connector includes a connecting bolt 11 located above the forks 8, and the thread of the connecting bolt 11 passes through the lower end of the lifting platform 10. A connecting nut 12 is connected to the circumferential thread of the connecting bolt 11.
[0028] In this embodiment, by passing the connecting bolt 11 through the fork 8 and the lifting platform 10 and rotating the connecting nut 12, the fork 8 can be connected to the lifting platform 10, allowing the fork 8 to move up and down with the lifting platform 10, which facilitates the stacking of containers.
[0029] For further details, please refer to Figure 1The storage shell 5 has several side protection plates 6 on both sides, and anti-slip plates 13 are provided below the side protection plates 6, and the anti-slip plates 13 are fixed to the storage shell 5.
[0030] In this embodiment, side guard plates 6 are installed on both sides of the stacker 1. When the forks 8 move upward for stacking, the side guard plates 6 can prevent the containers from being damaged when the forks 8 rise.
[0031] For further details, please refer to Figure 2 A rotating gear 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the side protective plate 6, and the rotating gear 14 is rotatably connected to one side of the storage shell 5. A rack 15 is slidably provided on one side of the stacking rack 1, and the rack 15 and the rotating gear 14 mesh with each other.
[0032] In this embodiment, the rack 15 moves up and down, and the rack 15 can mesh with the rotating gear 14. The rotating gear 14 can drive the side protection plate 6 to rotate, so that the side protection plate 6 is in a vertical state, and the side protection plate 6 can be in a folded state.
[0033] For further details, please refer to Figure 1 A limit slide rail 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the stacker 1, and the rack 15 is slidably connected to the rack 15 through a slider.
[0034] In this embodiment, the rack 15 slides within the limiting slide rail 16. The limiting slide rail 16 can restrict the movement trajectory of the rack 15, so that the rack 15 is in vertical translational motion, thereby improving the movement stability.
[0035] For further details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 A movable component is provided below the rack 15. The movable component includes a mounting plate base 18 fixedly connected to one side of the stacker 1, and a hydraulic cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting plate base 18. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 17 is fixed to the rack 15.
[0036] In this embodiment, the side protection plate 6 is set vertically to the stacker 1 to protect the container. When not in use, the hydraulic cylinder 17 is activated, and the rack 15 from the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 17 moves upward. The rack 15 meshes with the rotating gear 14, and the rotating gear 14 drives the side protection plate 6 to rotate, so that the side protection plate 6 is set parallel to the stacker 1 and can be folded for easy use.
[0037] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is as follows: After the container is stacked, the fork 8 is moved to the bottom of the stacker 1. When the fork 8 is no longer needed, the winding motor 3 is started. The output end of the winding motor 3 drives the drum 2 to rotate. The connecting rod 4 drives the two drums 2 to rotate. The rope 7 gradually wraps around the surface of the drum 2. The rope 7 can pull the fork 8, so that the fork 8 rotates around its pivot. The fork 8 can be folded into the storage shell 5.
[0038] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
[0039] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
