Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift technology, and in particular to a positioning camera mounting structure for an unmanned counterbalance forklift. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned counterbalance forklifts are automated material handling equipment driven by electricity for transporting goods in warehouses, logistics centers, and other locations. In unmanned counterbalance forklifts, cameras are particularly important for the operation of the forklift. They can monitor the surrounding environment of the forklift and ensure its normal operation, acting as the eyes of the forklift during use. However, since cameras require subsequent maintenance and replacement during use, a positioning and mounting structure is needed between the forklift and the camera for installation.

[0003] However, in practical applications, it is necessary to connect the forklift guardrail to the camera. If the fixing and disassembly methods are cumbersome, the subsequent maintenance and replacement of positioning components will make the process more complicated, increase the difficulty of maintenance and replacement for maintenance personnel, reduce the ease of disassembly and assembly of the structure, and affect the operation of the personnel. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model discloses a positioning camera mounting structure for an unmanned counterbalance forklift, which aims to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A positioning camera mounting structure for an unmanned counterbalance forklift includes a positioning plate, on which a forklift guardrail is fixedly mounted. A mounting component is provided on the forklift guardrail, and a quick-release component is provided on the mounting component.

[0007] The mounting components include a latch that snaps onto the forklift guardrail. The bottom of the latch has a slot, and a screw is inserted into the latch. One end of the screw passes through the forklift guardrail and the latch and extends to the outside of the latch. A bearing is fixedly mounted on the surface of the screw. A limit plate is fixedly mounted on the outer ring of the bearing. A pressing plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the limit plate. One side of the pressing plate passes through the latch and extends into the slot.

[0008] The mounting components are designed to securely install the locking blocks onto the forklift guardrail. While positioning the forklift guardrail, they also compress the guardrail and the locking blocks, preventing the blocks from wobbling due to force on one side. This also reduces the stress on the screw, avoiding damage to the screw caused by relying solely on it for force, and thus extending the service life of the mounting components.

[0009] The quick-release assembly includes a limiting groove formed on the locking block, a limiting block inserted inside the limiting groove, a mounting plate fixedly installed on one side of the limiting block, a camera body fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate, and a threaded rod inserted on one side of the locking block, with one end of the threaded rod threadedly connected to one side of the limiting block.

[0010] With its quick-release components, the camera body can be quickly disassembled and installed during use without the need for tools. This simplifies maintenance and replacement procedures, reducing the difficulty of replacement and improving the ease of disassembly and use.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, an anti-slip strip is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the top of the forklift guardrail, the top of the extrusion plate is in contact with the lower surface of the anti-slip strip, and the anti-slip strip is made of rubber. A groove is provided on one side of the block for the extrusion plate to pass through, and the inner wall of the groove is slidably connected to the surface of the extrusion plate.

[0012] With the anti-slip strips in place, the clamping plate can be tightly fitted to the forklift guardrail when it is inserted into the side of the clamping block, thus maintaining the positioning of the clamping block.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the inner ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the surface of the screw, the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting plate, and an anti-slip ring is fitted on the surface of the screw, with one side of the anti-slip ring fitting against one side of the locking block.

[0014] By using the bearings, the pressing plate on the limiting plate can maintain linear movement while being limited during the screw rotation tightening or loosening process. This facilitates the movement of the pressing plate while rotating the screw, enabling synchronous limiting and disassembly of the locking block.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a rotating block is fixedly installed at one end of the screw, a hexagonal hole is provided on one side of the rotating block, and anti-slip texture is provided on the surface of the rotating block.

[0016] The rotating block allows for easy tightening or loosening of the screw during use.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, both the card block and the forklift guardrail are provided with screw holes for the screw rod to pass through, and the screw holes are threadedly connected to the screw rod. One end of the screw rod is fitted with a nut that is threadedly connected to the screw rod. The surface of the nut is hexagonal, and one end of the nut is hemispherical.

[0018] The nut allows for further restraint of one end of the screw during use, preventing loosening between the screw and the locking block and ensuring the secure installation of the locking block.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, a wrench is fixedly installed at one end of the threaded rod, the surface of the wrench is provided with anti-slip texture, and the locking block is provided with a threaded hole that is threadedly connected to the threaded rod.

[0020] With the included wrench, the threaded rod can be loosened or tightened by turning the wrench during use, eliminating the need for tools to rotate the threaded rod, making the operation simple. It also facilitates the subsequent positioning or installation of the mounting plate on the limit block and the camera body, achieving a quick assembly and disassembly effect.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, positioning holes are provided at all four corners of the positioning plate. The positioning holes are circular, and anti-slip texture is provided on one side of the positioning plate.

[0022] The positioning holes allow the forklift guardrails to be installed on the forklift frame during use, using the positioning holes and fixing bolts.

[0023] As can be seen from the above, the positioning camera mounting structure for an unmanned counterbalance forklift provided by this utility model has the following technical effects.

[0024] Firstly, the quick-release components allow for rapid disassembly and installation of the camera body during use, eliminating the need for tools. This simplifies maintenance and replacement procedures, reducing the difficulty of replacement and improving the ease of disassembly and use.

[0025] Secondly, the mounting components allow the locking block to be securely installed on the forklift guardrail. While positioning the forklift guardrail, they also compress the guardrail and the locking block, preventing the locking block from shaking due to force on one side. This also reduces the force on the screw, avoiding damage to the screw caused by relying solely on the screw for force, and improving the service life of the mounting components.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-6 A positioning camera mounting structure for an unmanned counterbalance forklift includes a positioning plate 1, a forklift guardrail 2 fixedly mounted on the positioning plate 1, a mounting component 3 on the forklift guardrail 2, a quick-release component 4 on the mounting component 3, positioning holes at all four corners of the positioning plate 1 (the positioning holes are circular), and anti-slip texture on one side of the positioning plate 1. During use, the positioning holes allow the forklift guardrail 2 to be mounted on the forklift frame via the positioning holes and fixing bolts.

[0035] Mounting assembly 3 includes a locking block 300 that snaps onto the forklift guardrail 2. The bottom of the locking block 300 has a slot. A screw 301 is inserted into the locking block 300. One end of the screw 301 passes through the forklift guardrail 2 and the locking block 300 and extends to the outside of the locking block 300. A bearing 302 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the screw 301. A limiting plate 303 is fixedly mounted on the outer ring of the bearing 302. A pressing plate 304 is fixedly mounted on one side of the limiting plate 303. One side of the pressing plate 304 passes through the locking block 300 and extends into the slot. An anti-slip strip 305 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the top of the forklift guardrail 2. The top of the pressing plate 304 is in contact with the lower surface of the anti-slip strip 305, and the anti-slip strip 305... 05 is made of rubber. One side of the locking block 300 has a groove for the extrusion plate 304 to pass through, and the inner wall of the groove is slidably connected to the surface of the extrusion plate 304. An anti-slip strip 305 is provided, which, when the extrusion plate 304 is inserted into one side of the locking block 300, tightly fits between the extrusion plate 304 and the forklift guardrail 2, thus maintaining the positioning of the locking block 300. The inner ring of the bearing 302 is fixedly connected to the surface of the screw 301, and the outer ring of the bearing 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting plate 303. An anti-slip ring 306 is fitted onto the surface of the screw 301, with one side of the anti-slip ring 306 fitting against one side of the locking block 300. The bearing 302, when the screw 301 rotates to tighten or loosen, allows for... During the process, the pressing plate 304 on the limiting plate 303 can maintain linear movement while being limited, facilitating the movement of the pressing plate 304 while rotating the screw 301, thus achieving synchronous limiting and disassembly of the locking block 300. A rotating block is fixedly installed at one end of the screw 301, with a hexagonal hole on one side and anti-slip texture on the surface of the rotating block. The rotating block facilitates the rotation, tightening, or loosening of the screw 301 during use. Both the locking block 300 and the forklift guardrail 2 have screw holes for the screw 301 to pass through, and the screw holes are threadedly connected to the screw 301. A nut 307 is fitted onto one end of the screw 301 and threadedly connected to the screw 301. The surface is hexagonal, and one end of the nut 307 is hemispherical. The nut 307 can further limit one end of the screw 301 during use, preventing the screw 301 from loosening with the locking block 300 and maintaining the installation firmness of the locking block 300. The installation component 3 can firmly install the locking block 300 on the forklift guardrail 2. While positioning the forklift guardrail 2, it can also squeeze the forklift guardrail 2 and the locking block 300, preventing the locking block 300 from shaking due to force on one side. It also reduces the force on the screw 301, avoiding damage to the screw 301 caused by the screw 301 bearing all the force, and improving the service life of the installation component 3.

[0036] The quick-release assembly 4 includes a limiting groove formed on the locking block 300, a limiting block 400 inserted inside the limiting groove, a mounting plate 401 fixedly mounted on one side of the limiting block 400, a camera body 402 fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting plate 401, a threaded rod 403 inserted on one side of the locking block 300, one end of the threaded rod 403 threadedly connected to one side of the limiting block 400, and a wrench fixedly mounted on one end of the threaded rod 403. The surface of the wrench has anti-slip textures. The locking block 300 has a threaded hole for threaded connection with the threaded rod 403. The wrench can be rotated during use. The threaded rod 403 can be loosened or tightened by hand without the need for tools to rotate it, making the operation simple. This also facilitates the subsequent positioning or installation of the mounting plate 401 on the limit block 400 and the camera body 402, achieving a quick disassembly and assembly effect. The quick-release component 4 allows for rapid disassembly and installation of the camera body 402 during use, without the need for tools. This simplifies maintenance procedures and reduces the difficulty of replacement while also improving the ease of disassembly and assembly of the structure.

[0037] Working principle: The positioning plate 1 is installed on the frame of the unmanned counterbalance forklift using positioning bolts, thus completing the installation of the forklift guardrail 2. When it is necessary to install the mounting component 3, the locking block 300 is locked onto the top of the forklift guardrail 2, and then the screw 301 is screwed into the locking block 300 and the forklift guardrail 2. Then, one end of the screw 301 is tightened with the nut 307. During the tightening process, the pressing plate 304 is inserted into the slot on the locking block 300. The top of the pressing plate 304 presses against one side of the forklift guardrail 2 on the anti-slip strip 305, thereby maintaining the installation stability of the locking block 300. Even if the locking block 300 is subjected to force on both sides, it will not be pulled by the support and limit of the pressing plate 304. When the rod 301 deforms under stress, and the camera body 402 needs to be installed, the limiting block 400 on one side of the mounting plate 401 is inserted into the limiting groove, and then the threaded rod 403 is inserted into one side of the clamping block 300 and tightened with a wrench. This completes the installation of the camera body 402. When the camera body 402 needs to be disassembled and maintained in the future, simply loosen the threaded rod 403 manually, separate the threaded rod 403 from one side of the limiting block 400, and then remove the limiting block 400 on the mounting plate 401 from the top of the clamping block 300. This completes the disassembly of the camera body 402. After maintenance, it can be reinstalled or a new camera body 402 can be replaced.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
