Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of logistics equipment, and more specifically to an adjustable telescopic fork switch bracket. Background Technology

[0002] In the logistics field, telescopic forks are used for handling and storing goods. They are particularly prevalent in automated warehouse systems, where they enable precise and efficient retrieval and transfer of goods from racks such as high-bay racks and mobile racks. The position and status of the telescopic forks during operation require switch monitoring and control, necessitating the installation of suitable switch brackets.

[0003] Existing telescopic switch brackets generally consist of multiple machined and standard parts to achieve adjustment and positioning of the switch in both the near and far directions and in the horizontal direction. The brackets for existing telescopic switches are generally quite complex in structure. For example, brackets using a C-slot design require mounting components including a mounting plate, back plate, bushing, and fasteners. The horizontal position of the switch is adjusted by sliding it within the C-slot, and the near and far positions are adjusted by using bushings. It is evident that existing switch brackets are generally complex in structure, occupy a large amount of space, and have high component and manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the adjustment operation of existing switch brackets is cumbersome and complex, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid adjustment and installation.

[0004] In summary, there is a need in this field for a bracket for telescopic fork switches that has a simpler structure, smaller visible footprint, lower cost, and more convenient adjustment operation. Utility Model Content

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.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application discloses an adjustable telescopic fork switch bracket, comprising a frame 1 and several mounting components 2. The frame 1 consists of an adjusting plate 11 and a mounting plate 12 forming an L-shaped structure, with the adjusting plate 11 and the mounting plate 12 perpendicular to each other. A telescopic fork switch 3 is slidably mounted on the adjusting plate 11, and the mounting plate 12 is connected to the fork of the telescopic fork via the mounting components 2. The distance between the frame 1 and the fork is adjusted by the mounting components 2; the horizontal position of the telescopic fork switch 3 is adjusted by sliding it on the adjusting plate 11; and the height position of the telescopic fork switch is adjusted by adjusting the connection structure between the telescopic fork switch 3 and the adjusting plate 11. The adjustable telescopic fork switch bracket has a simpler structure, smaller size, and lower production cost; the installation and adjustment of the adjustable telescopic fork switch bracket are convenient and quick.

[0020] Specifically, the telescopic fork switch 3 is connected to the adjusting plate 11 through a double fixing nut structure. Both fixing nuts are installed around the outside of the telescopic fork switch 3, and the two fixing nuts are located on both sides of the adjusting plate 11. The telescopic fork switch 3 and the adjusting plate 11 are fixedly connected by rotating the fixing nuts. The extension length of the telescopic fork switch 3 relative to the adjusting plate 11 can be changed by adjusting the position of the fixing nuts on the telescopic fork switch 3, that is, the height position of the telescopic fork switch 3 can be adjusted.

[0021] See Figure 2 Preferably, mounting components 2 are respectively installed at both ends of the mounting plate 12, and the frame 1 can be stably fixed by the two mounting components 2. The mounting component 2 includes bolts 21, nuts 22 and several anti-loosening washers 23. The bolts 21 pass through the mounting plate 12 and are threadedly connected to the nuts 22, and the bolts 21 are also threadedly connected to the fork body. The anti-loosening washers 23 are arranged around the bolts 21, and there is at least one anti-loosening washer 23 on each side of the mounting plate 12. The nuts 22 and bolts 21 are mated with the mounting plate 12 through the anti-loosening washers 23, which improves the stability of the fixed installation.

[0022] See Figure 3The mounting plate 12 has a bolt through hole 121 for the bolt 21 to pass through. The adjusting plate 11 has a horizontal adjusting oblong hole 111 for mounting the telescopic fork switch 3. The telescopic fork switch 3 is slidably inserted into the horizontal adjusting oblong hole 111. Two fixing nuts are located on the upper and lower sides of the horizontal adjusting oblong hole 111, respectively, and the diameter of the fixing nuts is larger than the width of the horizontal adjusting oblong hole 111. By changing the size of the horizontal adjusting oblong hole 111 during processing, different types of telescopic fork switches 3 can be adapted, thus broadening the application range.
