Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift technology, specifically to an energy-saving forklift bracket with quick-installation components. Background Technology

[0002] Goods handling exists in almost every industry, especially for goods with large volume and weight, which are very labor-intensive to handle. Cranes and forklifts are used to move heavy objects. In comparison, forklifts are more flexible, can be moved and transported, and can move in warehouses due to their small size. The forklift stand is the key structure of the forklift used to carry and move goods, and is mainly composed of the frame, rack, etc.

[0003] Reference patent document: Patent Publication No. CN222454473U, Patent Publication Date 2025-02-11, discloses a shock-absorbing forklift bracket, including a vehicle body, a bracket installed on the front side of the vehicle body, a fork plate installed on the front side of the bracket, a shock-absorbing and buffering mechanism provided on the front side of the fork plate, and a flip-plate mechanism provided on the inner side of the fork plate. The flip-plate mechanism includes a flip-plate assembly. This shock-absorbing and buffering forklift bracket, driven by an electric push rod, causes the baffle to rotate 90°, thereby limiting the goods through the baffle to prevent the goods from slipping during subsequent transportation and improving the safety of the goods during transportation. By setting up a shock-absorbing and buffering mechanism, the damper and buffer spring absorb and buffer the squeezing force caused by the shaking or sliding of the goods during transportation, thus avoiding direct contact between the goods and the bracket, which could cause damage to the bracket or the goods.

[0004] Based on the search of patent numbers and the shortcomings of existing technologies, the following was found:

[0005] When a forklift is used to move goods, it lifts two forklift racks to lift and move the goods. However, the traditional installation of the two racks requires two symmetrical "L"-shaped pallets at the rear of the racks to be clamped onto the crossbeam of the forklift frame. After aligning the limiting holes of the "L"-shaped pallets with the insertion holes on the crossbeam, they are fixed by inserting pins through the limiting holes and insertion holes. During the installation process, the positions of the upper and lower pallets and the crossbeam need to be repeatedly adjusted to ensure that the two "L"-shaped pallets can be smoothly clamped onto the crossbeam. This process is cumbersome and requires a high level of operator skill. Furthermore, the lack of a positioning mechanism for aligning the pins and pin holes means that the pins and pin holes cannot be quickly aligned when the racks are further adjusted and fixed.

[0006] Therefore, this utility model provides an energy-saving forklift bracket with quick-installation components. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the problem that traditional forklift rack installation involves a cumbersome process, requires highly skilled operators, and lacks a positioning mechanism, making it difficult to quickly align the pins with the holes, the purpose of this invention is to provide an energy-saving forklift rack with a quick-installation component.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an energy-saving forklift bracket with quick-installation components, comprising a frame, wherein the frame is provided with an adjustment mechanism for quickly assembling the forklift bracket, the adjustment mechanism comprising:

[0009] The quick-assembly assembly includes two drive plates that are slidably mounted in the middle of the frame. Two symmetrically distributed crossbeams are fixedly mounted on one side of the drive plates. A double-ended screw is rotatably mounted in the middle of one side of the two drive plates. A drive assembly is provided at one end of the double-ended screw. Two symmetrically distributed moving blocks are threaded on the upper part of the double-ended screw. Connecting rods are rotatably mounted in the middle of both sides of the two moving blocks. The other ends of the four connecting rods are movably mounted on one side of the crossbeam. Two symmetrically distributed shelves are provided on one side of the two crossbeams. Two symmetrically distributed L-shaped clamping plates are fixedly mounted on one side of the two shelves. The four L-shaped clamping plates are slidably mounted on one side of the crossbeam. Multiple equally spaced pin holes are opened at both ends of one of the crossbeams. The upper part of the two L-shaped clamping plates is slidably mounted with pins, and the lower part of the two pins is slidably mounted in the middle of the pin holes.

[0010] A positioning component is located on the upper part of the crossbeam to facilitate quick alignment of the pin with the pin hole.

[0011] Preferably, the positioning component includes multiple springs fixedly installed at both ends of the crossbeam, and each of the multiple springs is fixedly installed with a limit bead. The lower part of each of the two L-shaped clamping plates is provided with a groove, and the limit bead is slidably clamped inside the groove.

[0012] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a servo motor fixedly mounted on one side of the drive board, and the servo motor is connected to the double-ended screw via a transmission belt.

[0013] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly installed at the middle of the opposite sides of the two drive plates, and the middle of the double-headed screw is rotatably installed at the middle of the support plate.

[0014] Preferably, a dovetail groove is provided in the middle of the support plate, and a sliding block is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two moving blocks, with both sliding blocks slidably locked in the middle of the dovetail groove.

[0015] Preferably, a limit rod is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two drive plates, and one side of each of the two crossbeams is slidably engaged on the outer surface of the limit rod.

[0016] Beneficial effects

[0017] This invention provides an energy-saving forklift bracket with a quick-installation assembly. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. When the rack needs to be installed, the servo motor drives the double-headed screw to rotate. Under the limit of the dovetail groove and the sliding block, the moving block moves relative to the moving block. The connecting rod pushes the crossbeam to expand outward and fit against the inner wall of the L-shaped clamp, completing the snap-fit. This process does not require the traditional fine alignment and repeated adjustments. The operator only needs to control the motor and operate the forklift to move the rack to quickly complete the installation. Compared with the traditional installation method, it greatly reduces the installation steps and time, lowers the requirements for the operator's skill level, significantly improves the installation efficiency of the forklift bracket, and ensures the efficient operation of logistics.

[0019] 2. In the process of adjusting the shelf spacing, when the L-shaped card plate is moved to align its pin hole with the pin, and the slot of the L-shaped card plate is above the limit bead, the spring pushes the limit bead into the slot. At this time, there will be obvious locking resistance, which allows the operator to feel that the pin hole and the pin are aligned. This makes it more convenient and faster for the operator to fix the pin and the pin hole when adjusting the spacing. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an energy-saving forklift bracket with quick-installation components, including a frame 1, the frame 1 being provided with an adjustment mechanism 2 for quickly assembling the forklift bracket, the adjustment mechanism 2 including:

[0029] The quick-assembly assembly 21 includes two drive plates 211 slidably mounted in the middle of the frame 1. The two drive plates 211 are connected to the drive system of a forklift, enabling them to move synchronously up and down under the drive system's influence. This, in turn, moves the upper shelf 218 up and down to transport goods. Two symmetrically distributed crossbeams 216 are fixedly mounted on one side of each drive plate 211. A double-ended screw 212 is rotatably mounted on the middle of one side of each drive plate 211. One end of the double-ended screw 212 has a drive assembly, and two symmetrically distributed moving blocks 213 are threaded onto the upper part of the double-ended screw 212. Connecting rods 214 are rotatably mounted on the middle of both sides of each moving block 213. The other ends of the four connecting rods 214 are movably mounted on one side of each crossbeam 216. When the double-ended screw 212 rotates, it drives the two moving blocks 213 to move relative to each other. During movement, the two sets of connecting rods 214 on both sides drive the two crossbeams 216 to expand outwards in sync. When the crossbeams 216 are in contact with the inner wall of the L-shaped plate 219, the two sets of connecting rods 214 on both sides are in the same straight line, thus providing a more reliable support force for the crossbeams 216 to ensure the mechanical strength of the equipment. Two symmetrically distributed shelves 218 are provided on one side of the two crossbeams 216. Two symmetrically distributed L-shaped plates 219 are fixedly installed on one side of each shelf 218. The four L-shaped plates 219 are slidably locked on one side of the crossbeams 216. Multiple equally spaced pin holes 2192 are opened at both ends of one of the crossbeams 216. The upper part of the two L-shaped plates 219 is slidably locked with pins 2191, and the lower part of the two pins 2191 is slidably locked in the middle of the pin holes 2192.

[0030] Positioning component 22 is disposed on the upper part of crossbeam 216 to facilitate quick alignment of pin 2191 with pin hole 2192.

[0031] The positioning component 22 includes multiple springs 222 fixedly installed at both ends of the crossbeam 216. The springs 222 are made of alloy spring steel with high elastic coefficient and fatigue resistance to ensure stable elastic restoring force during long-term use. Each of the multiple springs 222 is fixedly installed with a limiting bead 221. The lower part of each of the two L-shaped clamping plates 219 is provided with a clamping groove 223. The limiting bead 221 is slidably clamped inside the clamping groove 223. By moving the two shelves 218, the L-shaped clamping plates 219 are moved on the crossbeam 216. When the clamping groove 223 is above the limiting bead 221, the limiting bead 221 can be pushed into the clamping groove 223 by the force of the spring 222. Thus, when the shelf 218 is moved, the operator can feel a clamping force. At this time, the pin 2191 is located directly above the pin hole 2192, which makes it easier and faster to position the shelf.

[0032] The drive assembly includes a servo motor 217 fixedly mounted on one side of the drive board 211. The servo motor 217 is connected to the double-ended screw 212 via a transmission belt. The servo motor 217 is a Delta ECMA-C20604RS servo motor. Driven by the servo motor 217, the double-ended screw 212 can rotate through the transmission belt. The transmission belt adopts a toothed belt structure, and the toothed belt and the pulley are driven by meshing, which effectively avoids slippage.

[0033] A support plate 215 is fixedly installed on the middle of the opposite sides of the two drive plates 211. The middle of the double-headed screw 212 is rotatably installed in the middle of the support plate 215. The support plate 215 can support the middle of the double-headed screw 212 to ensure its structural strength.

[0034] The support plate 215 has a dovetail groove 2132 in the middle. Each of the two moving blocks 213 has a sliding block 2131 fixedly installed on one side. The two sliding blocks 2131 are slidably locked in the middle of the dovetail groove 2132. By setting the dovetail groove 2132 and the sliding block 2131, the two moving blocks 213 can slide stably relative to each other or in opposite directions along the opening direction of the dovetail groove 2132 under the limitation of the dovetail groove 2132 and the sliding block 2131 when the double-headed screw 212 rotates. This allows the moving blocks 213 to slide smoothly and effectively prevents shaking during movement.

[0035] Limiting rods 2161 are fixedly installed on one side of each of the two drive plates 211, and one side of each of the two crossbeams 216 is slidably locked onto the outer surface of the limiting rods 2161. The limiting rods 2161 can guide and support the crossbeams 216.

[0036] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0037] During operation, first, place the two racks 218 with the L-shaped pallet 219 facing the forklift, start the forklift drive system, drive the two drive plates 211 to rise synchronously, that is, drive the two crossbeams 216 to rise to a suitable height, and start the forklift to move forward so that the two crossbeams 216 contact one side of the two racks 218. Then, the servo motor 217 is powered on and runs, driving the double-headed screw 212 to rotate through the transmission belt. Since the threads at both ends of the double-headed screw 212 rotate in opposite directions, under the limiting action of the dovetail groove 2132 and the sliding block 2131, the two moving blocks 213 move relative to each other along the direction of the dovetail groove 2132, and then push the two crossbeams 216 to expand outward synchronously through the connecting rod 214, so that the crossbeams 216 contact the inner wall of the L-shaped pallet 219.

[0038] At this time, the operator moves the shelf 218, causing the L-shaped card plate 219 to slide on the crossbeam 216 to adjust the distance between the two shelves 218. When the card slot 223 at the bottom of the L-shaped card plate 219 moves above the limit bead 221, the spring 222 pushes the limit bead 221 into the card slot 223. The operator can clearly feel the resistance to the insertion. At this time, the pin 2191 is just above the pin hole 2192. Inserting the pin 2191 into the pin hole 2192 can quickly complete the fixed installation of the shelf 218 and the crossbeam 216.

[0039] When it is necessary to disassemble the shelf 218, pull out the pin 2191, the servo motor 217 reverses, drives the double-headed screw 212 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the crossbeam 216 to retract inward, releasing the support of the L-shaped card plate 219, and the shelf 218 can be easily removed, completing the quick disassembly process.
