Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of stacker crane technology, specifically relating to a stacker crane fork with an irregular structure. Background Technology

[0002] A stacker crane is an automated material handling machine that uses forks to move, stack, and retrieve goods from high-level racks. Generally, a stacker crane forks consist of three units: a bottom drive unit, a middle unit, and an uppermost actuator. The bottom drive unit can be driven by a three-phase asynchronous motor or a servo motor with a reducer. The middle unit is mainly a drive plate, which is responsible for the power connection between the bottom drive unit and the uppermost actuator. The driving power from the bottom drive unit is transmitted to the middle drive plate, which then further transmits the power to the actuator.
