[0041] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this application, the application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this section is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] Please refer to Figs. 1-2 This embodiment provides a vertical clamp for a counterbalanced forklift, including a base plate 100. One side of the base plate 100 is provided with an attachment connection mechanism for connecting to a forklift. Two robotic arms are provided, each hinged to the side of the base plate 100 away from the forklift and arranged horizontally. The two robotic arms have different lengths, a long arm 200 and a short arm 300. The long arm 200 and the short arm 300 are both arc-shaped, with concave surfaces located on the sides of the long arm 200 and the short arm 300 that are close to each other. A drive mechanism is mounted on the base plate 100 and connected to the robotic arms for driving the robotic arms to rotate relative to each other. A docking mechanism is hinged to the end of the robotic arm away from the base plate 100 for automatically adjusting the clamping angle.

[0043] In this embodiment, the base plate 100 is provided with an attachment connection mechanism on one side, which can form a stable connection with the forklift, and a robotic arm on the other side, which can clamp and fix the rolled floor heating pipe. Combined with the lifting function of the forklift itself, the rolled floor heating pipe can be transported to the designated position, thereby effectively solving the problem that conventional forklifts cannot handle rolled objects.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the substrate 100 is connected to the robotic arm via a mounting base 110; the mounting base 110 is fixedly mounted at the middle of the substrate 100, and has through hinge holes at both ends in the horizontal direction; the end of the robotic arm away from the docking mechanism has a U-shaped snap-fit ​​portion, and is connected to the mounting base 110 via a hinge shaft; the hinge shaft is located in the hinge hole, and its two ends pass through the snap-fit ​​portion.

[0045] In this embodiment, the mounting base 110 is fixed in the middle of the base plate 100. The long arm 200 and the short arm 300 are connected to the mounting base 110 through a hinge shaft. This connection method allows the robotic arm to rotate flexibly. When it is necessary to grasp a large-diameter roll of floor heating pipe, the long arm 200, with its larger radius, is the first to contact the floor heating pipe. As the movement continues, the short arm 300 also gradually approaches the floor heating pipe. Finally, the long arm 200, the short arm 300, and the docking mechanism form a three-point contact, stably clamping the roll of floor heating pipe. Because the long arm 200 has a large radius, the overall grasping radius is expanded, which can accommodate large-size rolls of floor heating pipe. The short arm 300 is relatively flexible and can better fit the surface of the floor heating pipe during the grasping process, improving the gripping stability.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the drive mechanism includes a first cylinder 210 connected to the long arm 200 and a second cylinder 310 connected to the short arm 300; the cylinder body of the first cylinder 210 is hingedly mounted on the base plate 100 and is hinged to the long arm 200 via a first piston rod; the cylinder body of the second cylinder 310 is hingedly mounted on the base plate 100 and is hinged to the short arm 300 via a second piston rod.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the extension length of the first cylinder 210 is greater than that of the second cylinder 310 to create a speed difference; the radius of the long arm 200 is relatively larger than that of the short arm 300 to increase the gripping radius.

[0048] In this embodiment, the input flow rate of the first hydraulic cylinder 210 is greater than that of the second hydraulic cylinder 310, so that the rotation speed of the long arm 200 can be greater than that of the short arm 300. By utilizing the time difference in rotation speed between the two, the center of the rolled floor heating pipe can be automatically adjusted, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the docking mechanism includes a docking plate 400; the docking plate 400 is hinged to the end of the robotic arm, and the end away from the robotic arm is arc-shaped; the docking plate 400 is also provided with a first rubber layer 410; the first rubber layer 410 is located on the concave surface of the docking plate 400.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the robotic arm is further provided with a second rubber layer; the second rubber layer is fitted onto the concave surface of the robotic arm.

[0051] In this embodiment, the docking plate 400 of the docking mechanism is hinged to the end of the robotic arm. When clamping the coiled floor heating pipe, the docking plate 400 can automatically adjust its angle. The first rubber layer 410 on its concave surface and the second rubber layer on the concave surface of the robotic arm increase the friction between the floor heating pipe and the floor heating pipe, while avoiding damage to the surface of the floor heating pipe and ensuring the integrity of the floor heating pipe during transportation.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the attachment connection mechanism includes a hook located on the side of the base plate 100 away from the robotic arm; the hook is fixedly installed at the top of the base plate 100 for attaching with the forklift; the bottom of the base plate 100 is also provided with a through threaded hole for locking with the forklift by bolts.

[0053] In this embodiment, the base plate 100 is connected to the forklift via an attachment connection mechanism. After the hook of the attachment connection mechanism is hung on the corresponding position of the forklift, the bolt is then tightened by passing through the threaded hole at the bottom of the base plate 100 to ensure that the clamp is securely connected to the forklift and will not shake or fall off during transportation.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, sensors can be installed on the substrate 100 to monitor the working status of the gripper in real time, such as the clamping force of the robotic arm and the angle change of the docking mechanism. When the clamping force is too large or too small, the sensors will feed back the signal to the control system of the forklift. The control system will adjust the extension and retraction of the first cylinder 210 and the second cylinder 310 in a timely manner to ensure the safe and stable gripping process. In addition, the cylinders of the drive mechanism can be optimized by using a more efficient hydraulic pump to improve the response speed of the cylinders, making the opening and closing action of the robotic arm faster and further improving the handling efficiency. At the same time, the material of the rubber layer can be improved by selecting a rubber material with better wear resistance and anti-slip properties to extend the service life of the rubber layer and enhance the practicality of the gripper.
