[0004] Therefore, the utility model provides a tray contact type redundancy in -place detection device of two -way telescopic fork. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] In order to overcome the problem that the two -way telescopic fork in the existing product is difficult to detect tray in -place, the utility model solves its technical problems by adopting the technical scheme of a tray contact type redundancy in -place detection device of two -way telescopic fork, which comprises a bottom plate, left contact plate, right contact plate, spring, pin shaft, inductive sensor, contact sensor. Left contact plate and right contact plate two ends have two groups of concentric round holes, one group of holes of left contact plate and right contact plate are hinged together through pin shaft, the bottom plate is U-shaped as a whole, and the two ends are provided with a waist -shaped slot penetrating through, and the other group of round holes of left contact plate and right contact plate can move in the slot opening of the bottom plate through pin shaft. A spring is connected between the two pin shafts for connecting left contact plate, right contact plate and bottom plate, which ensures that the pin shaft leans on the inner side of the two waist -shaped slot openings of the bottom plate in the tray non -in -place state. An inductive proximity sensor and an in -place sensor are arranged on the bottom plate left and right respectively, which are used for detecting the movement of left contact plate and right contact plate.

[0006] The bottom plate, left contact plate and right contact plate are usually metal plates, and can also be plastic materials with good strength

[0007] The aforementioned pin is made of metal, and the limiting structures at both ends ensure that there is no significant axial movement of the pin between the contact plate and the base plate. Additionally, a groove in the middle is used to hold the spring in place, preventing it from moving axially along the pin.

[0008] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that the positioning detection device of this utility model can move in two directions and contact the left and right contact plates of the pallet respectively. After the pallet and the goods come into contact, the contact plates move towards the bottom plate. The proximity sensor senses the movement of the contact plate on one side, and at the same time the contact position sensor senses the movement of the other contact plate. The two sets of signals are sent to the control system to realize redundant detection and feedback of pallet position. Attached Figure Description
