[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this patent, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0023] This utility model provides a simplified forklift, aiming to solve the problem of poor stability of existing forklifts during use. Figures 3 to 5 As shown, it includes two forks 1. Each fork 1 has a U-shaped connecting part at its rear end, which includes an upper plate 7 and a lower plate 8. Thus, the bottom plate of the bucket can be inserted between the upper plate 7 and the lower plate 8, thereby fixing the fork 1 to the bucket.

[0024] The U-shaped connecting part is fixed with the bucket 6 through connecting pieces. The connecting pieces include fastening bolts 2, articulated bolts 3 and gaskets 5. The fastening bolts 2 can pass through the U-shaped connecting part and the bucket 5 from bottom to top. Specifically, when the fork body 1 is assembled with the bucket 6, the fastening bolts 2 pass through the gaskets 5, the lower layer plate 8, the blade plate of the bucket 6 and the upper layer plate 7 from bottom to top in sequence, and finally are screwed with the nuts 4. Among them, the setting of the gaskets 5 can effectively prevent the loosening of the fastening bolts 2, and enhance the reliability of the connection. When the fork body is connected with the bucket, the nut 4 is installed at the upper end, which makes it more convenient to tighten the nut 4 in actual operation, and the fastening can be completed without additional tools or complex operation.

[0025] The articulated bolt 3 is threadedly installed on the U-shaped connecting part. Specifically, the upper layer plate of the U-shaped connecting part is provided with a threaded hole for installing the articulated bolt 3, and the articulated bolt 3 is installed in the threaded hole from top to bottom. During installation, by tightening the articulated bolt 3, the lower end thereof can press the inner wall of the bucket 6, thereby effectively avoiding the up-and-down movement of the fork body during use, and improving the stability of the fork body. In addition, the upper end of the articulated bolt 3 is provided with a through hole, so that when a larger torque is required for tightening, a crowbar can be inserted at the through hole to easily tighten the articulated bolt 3 by the leverage of the crowbar, thereby ensuring the pressing effect of the articulated bolt 3 on the inner wall of the bucket.

[0026] Further, the fastening bolts 2 of the U-shaped connecting part are provided with two, and the spacing of the two fastening bolts 2 is consistent with the spacing of the two tooth tip fixing holes on the bucket 6. Therefore, during installation, the tooth tip fixing holes on the bucket 6 can be used to fix the fork body, which is simple and convenient to operate, and does not require additional drilling or processing, thereby saving installation time and cost. At the same time, since the tooth tip fixing holes at the front end of the bucket 6 are usually provided with multiple rows, in actual use, the tooth tip fixing holes at different positions can be flexibly selected to fix the fork body 1 according to the size of the goods, so as to adjust the spacing between the two fork bodies 1, thereby adapting to the loading and unloading requirements of goods of different sizes. This adjustability makes the simple cargo fork of the utility model have strong adaptability, and can meet the requirements of various working conditions.

[0027] In actual use, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the two fork bodies 1 are installed on the bucket 6 of the loader through the U-shaped connecting parts at the rear ends thereof, and are fixed by the fastening bolts 2 and the articulated bolts 3. After installation is completed, the front ends of the fork bodies 1 protrude outside the bucket 6, and are used for forking regular stone blocks, square boxes and other special goods. Since the above connection mode and structural design are adopted, the simple cargo fork of the utility model has good stability during use, can effectively avoid damage to the goods due to the shaking of the fork body during loading and unloading, and improves the work efficiency and safety.
