Generally, at least two fork bodies 32 are arranged on the fork frame 31, the workers can control the distance between the two fork bodies 32 by adjusting the positions of the two fork bodies 32, so that the fork bodies 32 can be used to lift different sizes of goods, and the practicability and application range of the forklift truck are improved.

[0043] Referring to Figure 1 A power element 4 is arranged at the lower end of the outer mast 1, the driving end of the power element 4 is connected with the top end of the inner mast 2, and the lifting of the inner mast 2 is realized through the power element 4. Preferably, the power element 4 is a hydraulic oil cylinder, which is connected with a hydraulic oil supply device through a hydraulic pipeline, and the elongation or shortening of the hydraulic oil cylinder is realized by supplying hydraulic oil to different positions of the hydraulic oil cylinder, so that the lifting of the inner mast 2 is realized.

[0048] When the oil box 61 is moved by an external force towards the sprocket 51, the sprocket 51 approaches the lubricating groove and contacts the two coating members 62 on both sides, and extrudes the two coating members 62, so that the coating members 62 move towards the oil box 61, and the sliding rod 7 moves synchronously with the coating members 62 in the sealing ring 8.

[0049] Further, the lubricating unit 6 further comprises an absorbing member 64 sleeved on the surface of the slide rod 7, when the slide rod 7 moves synchronously with the coating member 62, one end of the slide rod 7 extends into the oil box 61 from the sealing ring 8, the absorbing member 64 contacts with the lubricating oil in the oil box 61, absorbs the lubricating oil and conducts the lubricating oil to the coating member 62, and finally acts on the sprocket 51 between the two coating members 62 to complete the lubrication.

[0050] Preferably, in order to ensure that the lubricating oil can be absorbed by the absorbing member 64 and conducted to the coating member 62, the absorbing member 64 and the coating member 62 are both made of sponge.

[0051] Further, the lubricating unit 6 further comprises a first elastic member 63, which is arranged between the coating member 62 and the oil box 61, when the sprocket 51 is located in the lubricating groove, the coating member 62 is pressed and the first elastic member 63 is compressed, after the sprocket 51 exits from the lubricating groove, the first elastic member 63 restores the deformation, so that the slide rod 7 and the coating member 62 are reset.

When the coating member 62 is pressed, the slide rod 7 slides into the oil box 61, so that the sealing block 9 is out of the sealing ring 8; when the coating member 62 is reset, the sealing block 9 retreats into the sealing ring 8 to realize sealing.

[0053] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the lubricating unit 6 further comprises a driving assembly 65 for driving the oil box 61 to move up and down, the driving assembly 65 comprises a transmission cam 651, a transmission shaft 652 and a driver not shown in the figure. The transmission cam 651 is rotatably installed on the horizontal plate and located above the oil box 61, the upper surface of the oil box 61 abuts against the transmission cam 651; the transmission shaft 652 is key-connected with the transmission cam 651, so that they can rotate synchronously, and the driver is installed at one end of the transmission shaft 652 for providing power for the rotation of the two. Preferably, the driver is an electric motor.

[0054] With the above structure, the transmission cam 651 is driven to rotate by the electric motor, when the farthest end of the transmission cam 651 abuts against the upper surface of the oil box 61, the oil box 61 is in the lowest position, at this time, the sprocket 51 is partially located in the lubricating groove, when the nearest end of the transmission cam 651 abuts against the upper surface of the oil box 61, the oil box 61 is in the highest position, at this time, the sprocket 51 is separated from the lubricating groove.

[0055] The transmission cam 651 can drive the oil box 61 to move from the highest position to the lowest position. In order to reset the oil box 61, a follower 10 is arranged on each side of the oil box 61, and a limiting rod 11 is arranged on the horizontal plate of the inner door frame 2. The follower 10 is sleeved on the limiting rod 11 and can slide up and down. A second elastic member 12 is sleeved on the surface of the limiting rod 11. One end of the second elastic member 12 abuts against the follower 10, and the other end abuts against the inner door frame 2. When the transmission cam 651 drives the oil box 61 to move to the lowest position, the follower 10 slides downward along the limiting rod 11. At this time, the second elastic member 12 is compressed. When the farthest end of the transmission cam 651 passes the oil box 61, the pressure of the transmission cam 651 on the oil box 61 disappears. The second elastic member 12 restores the deformation. The follower 10 drives the oil box 61 to move upward, so that the oil box 61 finally returns to the highest position, thereby completing the lubrication of the chain wheel 51. The first elastic member 63 and the second elastic member 12 can be linear springs.

[0056] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape and principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
