Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift fork technology, specifically to a detachable fork mounting structure for forklifts. Background Technology

[0002] A forklift is an industrial material handling vehicle primarily used for loading, unloading, stacking, and short-distance transport of goods. Its core structure includes a mast, forks, a hydraulic lifting system, and a drive unit, which is precisely controlled via a steering wheel, joystick, and pedals. Based on power source, forklifts can be divided into internal combustion forklifts and electric forklifts. The former is suitable for heavy-duty outdoor operations, while the latter is suitable for indoor, environmentally friendly operations.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent CN222434080U, which discloses a forklift limiting fork, comprising two fork shanks. Multiple holes are formed in the side walls of the two fork shanks, and at least one limiting bracket is detachably mounted on the surface of each fork shank. This invention, by adding limiting brackets to the forks, effectively prevents goods from slipping off during bag handling.

[0004] While the above solution can prevent goods from slipping, the distance between the two forks is fixed during use and cannot be freely adjusted according to the size of the goods, resulting in low flexibility and inability to adapt to different working conditions. To address this issue, we provide a detachable fork mounting structure for forklifts. Summary of the Invention

[0022] 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.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for a detachable fork mounting structure for forklifts, including a mounting plate 1. An adjustment mechanism 2 is provided on the outside of the mounting plate 1. The adjustment mechanism 2 includes an adjustment plate 201. A limiting groove 202 is formed on the outer surface of the adjustment plate 201. An adjustment rod 203 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 202. By driving the adjustment plate 201 to move vertically, the adjustment rod 203 can be driven to slide synchronously in the length direction of the limiting groove 202.

[0024] One end of the adjusting rod 203 is fixedly connected to the fork body 204, and the other end of the adjusting rod 203 away from the fork body 204 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 205. The inner wall of the connecting plate 205 is slidably connected to the support slide rod 206. Both ends of the support slide rod 206 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1. Through the coordinated action of the connecting plate 205 and the support slide rod 206, the fork body 204 can be supported, thus making the adjustment of the distance between the two fork bodies 204 more stable.

[0025] The inner wall of the mounting plate 1 is slidably connected to a limiting slider 207. The outer surface of the limiting slider 207 is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 201. By driving the limiting slider 207 to slide vertically inside the mounting plate 1, the adjusting plate 201 can be driven to move vertically in sync.

[0026] An adjusting threaded rod 208 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 1. The outer surface of the adjusting threaded rod 208 is threadedly connected to the limiting slider 207. A drive motor is installed inside the mounting plate 1. The output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the adjusting threaded rod 208. By starting the drive motor, the adjusting threaded rod 208 can be driven to rotate.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a protective mechanism 3 is provided on the outside of the mounting plate 1. The protective mechanism 3 includes a blocking plate 301. A limiting rod 302 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the blocking plate 301. The two ends of the limiting rod 302 are fixedly connected to the fork body 204. The limiting rod 302 can support and limit the blocking plate 301. Thus, when the blocking plate 301 is driven, it can rotate around the limiting rod 302 as the axis, effectively changing the flatness of the surface on which the fork body 204 carries the goods.

[0028] The inner wall of the fork body 204 is fixedly connected to a second limiting rod 303. The outer surface of the second limiting rod 303 is rotatably connected to a fixed platform 304. The outer surface of the fixed platform 304 is fixedly connected to an electric push rod 305. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 305 is rotatably connected to the blocking plate 301 through a connecting block. By activating the electric push rod 305 to retract it, the blocking plate 301 can be pulled clockwise around the first limiting rod 302 as the axis. This effectively causes one side of the blocking plate 301 to tilt up and block the goods, preventing the goods from slipping due to inertia or vibration and significantly improving the safety of handling operations.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a bidirectional fixing screw 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 1, and an active slider 5 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the bidirectional fixing screw 4. The outer surface of the active slider 5 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 1. A rotary motor is fixedly installed inside the mounting plate 1, and the output end of the rotary motor is fixedly connected to the bidirectional fixing screw 4. By starting the rotary motor, the bidirectional fixing screw 4 can be driven to rotate.

[0030] The outer surface of the active slider 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting rod 6. The outer surface of the mounting plate 1 is provided with mounting holes 7 that are compatible with the mounting rod 6. By placing one end of the lifting chain on the forklift inside the mounting plate 1, and then driving the mounting rod 6 to pass through the chain and the mounting hole 7, the device can be quickly installed on the forklift.

[0031] The electric actuator 305, as well as the rotary motor and drive motor mentioned in this application, are common electrical devices in the prior art. This application will not elaborate on their models and internal structures, and they can also be replaced by other power sources.

[0032] The structural components shown in the attached figures are exemplary illustrations. The specific implementation should be adapted and optimized by considering the functional requirements, assembly conditions and process limitations in the actual application scenario, and adjusting the structural parameters, size specifications and connection methods accordingly.

[0033] Working principle: The drive motor installed inside the mounting plate 1 drives the adjusting threaded rod 208 to rotate. The rotation of the adjusting threaded rod 208 drives the limiting slider 207 to slide vertically in the inner wall of the mounting plate 1 through the meshing force. The movement of the limiting slider 207 drives the adjusting plate 201 to move vertically. The movement of the adjusting plate 201, in conjunction with the limiting groove 202 on its surface, can drive the two adjusting rods 203 to move closer or further apart. The movement of the two adjusting rods 203 to move closer or further apart synchronously drives the two fork bodies 204 to move closer or further apart, effectively adjusting the size of the goods according to their dimensions. The distance between the two fork bodies 204 is adjusted in real time, thereby improving the equipment's adaptability to goods of different specifications and enabling it to flexibly cope with diverse working conditions. When goods are being transported on the surface of the fork body 204, the electric actuator 305 is activated to retract it. The retraction of the extension end of the electric actuator 305 drives the blocking plate 301 to rotate clockwise around the limit rod 302. The rotation of the blocking plate 301 can block the goods on the fork body 204, effectively preventing the goods from slipping due to external factors such as inertia or vibration, and significantly improving the safety of handling operations.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
