[0029] In this embodiment, the rotation function of the support column 2 is realized by setting the first hinge frame 21 and the second hinge frame 11, that is, the function of tilting the chemical drum.

[0030] It should be noted that the bottom end of the first hinge frame 21 in the support column 2 can form a self-locking state with the side wall of the forklift pallet 1, so that the support column 2 is in a vertical state, which is convenient for connecting with the chemical drum.

[0031] In one embodiment, an arc-shaped rod 22 is fixedly connected to the other side of the bottom end of the support column 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, the function of the arc-shaped rod 22 is to abut against the chemical drum. The arc-shaped rod 22 and the clamp 3 are distributed vertically, and the arc-shaped rod 22 and the clamp 3 cooperate with each other to maintain the balance of the chemical drum.

One end of the clamping rod 312 is fixed with a connecting plate 314. The connecting plate 314 has a threaded hole 3141 and the screw 313 is threadedly sleeved in the threaded hole 3141.

[0036] In this embodiment, the sliding sleeve 311 makes the clamp 3 suitable for chemical drums of different heights, the spring 32 makes the clamp 3 suitable for different thicknesses of the top edge of different chemical drums, and the clamping rod 312 is slidably sleeved on the sliding hole 3111, making the clamp 3 suitable for different widths of the top edge of different chemical drums. In summary, the device is suitable for handling chemical drums of more specifications.

[0037] In one embodiment, the other end of the clamp 312 is fixedly connected to the barb 3121.

[0038] In this embodiment, the function of the barb 3121 is to further strengthen the clamping force of the clamping rod 312 under the clamping force of the spring 32, so that the two barbs 3121 can better clamp the edge of the top of the chemical drum.

[0039] In one embodiment, a limiting hole 3112 is provided on one side of the sliding sleeve 311, and one end of the screw 313 is rotatably embedded in the limiting hole 3112.

[0040] In this embodiment, a limiting ring is provided on the inner wall of the limiting hole 3112, and a convex ring is provided on the outer wall of the end of the screw 313. When the end of the screw 313 is rotated and embedded in the limiting hole 3112, the convex ring rotates and embeds into the limiting ring. Under the action of the convex ring and the limiting ring, the end of the screw 313 will not fall out of the limiting hole 3112.

[0041] It should be noted that the end of the screw 313 that is rotatably embedded in the limiting hole 3112 has a smooth surface.

[0042] In one embodiment, the other end of the screw 313 is fixedly connected to a hexagonal prism 3131.

[0049] In one embodiment, a flat plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the forklift pallet 1.

[0050] In this embodiment, the flat plate 12 prevents the forklift pallet 1 from tilting due to the excessive weight of the chemical drum, ensuring that the forklift pallet 1 remains horizontal and the chemical drum can be moved normally.

[0051] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 4 The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail below:

[0052] First, the forklift uses the forklift pallet 1 to move the device to the side of the chemical drum. The forklift lowers, placing the forklift pallet 1 on the ground without moving away. Then, the height of the two clamps 31 is adjusted so that the hooks 3121 of the two clamping rods 312 cooperate to clamp the top edge of the chemical drum. By rotating the two screws 313, the clamps 3 tighten the top edge of the chemical drum. Subsequently, the cylinder 41 is activated, and the support column 2 tilts towards the forklift pallet 1, thereby tilting the chemical drum until it is lifted off the ground. Finally, the forklift rises, moving the entire device together. Through the compatibility between the device and the forklift, the forklift can move the device freely without the need for manual pushing and pulling of the trolley, effectively reducing labor intensity.

[0053] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.
