TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of material handling equipment, in particular to a forklift auxiliary device for transferring steel drums. BACKGROUND
[0002] Steel drums, as a common storage container, are widely used in many industries such as chemical industry and food industry. In order to ensure the safety and stability of use, the surface of the steel drum usually needs to be painted. In the process of painting a large number of steel drums, transporting the steel drums is a key link, which directly affects the efficiency and quality of the painting work. Therefore, how to efficiently and safely complete the transportation of steel drums has become a key factor to improve production efficiency.
[0003] In the prior art, forklifts are one of the preferred transportation tools due to their high work efficiency. However, traditional forklifts face many challenges when transporting steel drums, especially empty drums, such as limited number of one-time transportation, etc.
[0004] Currently, forklifts are one of the preferred transportation tools due to their high work efficiency. In order to improve the ability of forklifts to transport steel drums, the industry usually takes the following measures: the first method is to increase the size of the pallet to increase the number of transportation each time. This method can improve the efficiency of single transportation, but it also increases the cost and brings the problem of inconvenient operation; the second method is to improve the design of the forklift without changing the size of the pallet, such as lengthening the forks so that more steel drums can be stacked on the same pallet, but this puts higher requirements on the stability of the goods, which can easily cause safety risks.
[0005] Although the above methods can improve the efficiency of forklifts transporting steel drums to some extent, there are still obvious deficiencies in actual application. Increasing the size of the pallet significantly increases the cost and makes the operation more difficult in narrow environments; while lengthening the forks can increase the number of single transportation, but due to the increase in the height of the goods stacking, it is easy to cause overturning accidents, especially when stacking multiple layers, the safety problem is particularly prominent. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0006] In order to improve the transportation efficiency of batches of steel drums, the present application provides a forklift auxiliary device for transferring steel drums.

[0014] Optionally, a limiting piece is connected between the top ends of the adjusting rods on the same longitudinal support frame, the limiting piece includes a roller, a pull rope wound on the roller, and a hook sleeved on the end of the pull rope, the roller is coaxially arranged on one of the adjusting rods, and the hook is arranged on the other adjusting rod.
[0015] By adopting the above technical scheme, the free end of the pull rope is pulled out and sleeved on the hook, and the pull rope presses the top layer of steel drums at this time. The pull rope can firmly press the steel drums on the top layer on the next layer of steel drums, effectively preventing the steel drums from bouncing and shaking during transportation due to road bumps, significantly reducing the risk of steel drums rolling off the device, and improving the safety and stability of transportation.
[0016] Optionally, the two hooks are jointly hooked with a limiting rod, and the free ends of the two pull ropes are connected to the limiting rod.
[0017] Through the above technical scheme, the setting of the limiting rod enables the free ends of the two pull ropes to be pulled out synchronously, and the two hooks are jointly hooked, which simplifies the operation process, avoids the cumbersome steps of individually sleeving the single pull rope on the hook, and improves the convenience and reliability of use.

[0019] Through the above technical scheme, the rotation design of the roller enables the pull rope to be easily pulled out, reducing the cumbersome steps of manually winding the pull rope by workers. When the length of the pull rope meets the requirement, the locking insertion rods on the support plate can be inserted into the locking insertion holes of the roller to effectively lock the roller, ensuring that the position of the pull rope is fixed, thereby improving the convenience of operation and the stability of the overall structure.
[0020] Optionally, the top end of each transverse reinforcing strip is provided with a non-slip pad.
[0021] Through the above technical scheme, among the batch of multiple layers of steel barrels, the bottom layer of steel barrels can be firmly pressed on the non-slip pad, significantly reducing the safety hazards caused by sliding, and greatly improving the stability and safety of the steel barrels during the carrying process.
