Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage and retrieval vehicles, and in particular to a fast storage and retrieval vehicle for cold storage goods. Background Technology
[0002] Cold storage rapid cargo handling vehicles are specialized handling equipment suitable for cold storage environments. They are primarily used to achieve efficient transfer, storage, and retrieval of goods within cold storage facilities. Through the coordinated operation of its mechanical structure, it can perform actions such as lifting, raising, and moving goods to meet the operational needs of dense storage and rapid turnover in cold storage.
[0003] Existing cold storage cargo handling vehicles mainly consist of traditional forklifts and simple stacking equipment. Traditional forklifts typically consist of a chassis, mast, forks, and power source. The mast is vertically mounted at the front of the chassis, and the forks are horizontally positioned at the front of the mast. Their working principle involves the power source driving the chassis to move, and the mast's lifting function moving the forks up and down. Once the forks are inserted into the bottom of the goods, the mast rises to move the goods; after moving to the target location, the mast lowers to place the goods. Simple stacking equipment mostly uses fixed brackets with manually or electrically driven forks, achieving cargo storage and retrieval on lower-height shelves through a simplified lifting structure.
[0004] In existing technologies, when the gaps between shelves in a cold storage facility are small, the forks of existing storage and retrieval equipment are prone to collisions when extending into or retrieving goods from the shelves. Because the fork's movement trajectory is fixed and its adjustment precision is limited, when the gap between the shelf uprights and the goods is narrow, the sides of the forks may directly contact the shelf uprights, or the fork tips may strike the crossbeams of adjacent shelves. Such collisions can damage the shelf structure, cause goods to fall or be damaged, and disrupt the normal operation of the cold storage facility. Therefore, a rapid cold storage goods storage and retrieval vehicle is proposed to address these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Working principle: When the forks are extended or retracted, the motor 16 is started first. The transmission belt 17 connected to its output end drives the gear 19 to rotate, causing the rack 20 to move back and forth. The fork 7 at the top of the rack 20 also extends or retracts synchronously. At the same time, the gear 18 on one side of the rack 20 rotates back and forth. The gear 18 partially meshes with the rack 23 through the gear port 22, and the fork 8 also extends or retracts accordingly. This achieves the purpose of controlling the length of the forks and reducing the overall width of the forklift, making it easier to pass through narrow passages and solving the problem of forks colliding when the gaps between goods in cold storage are small.
[0038] When fixing the rack 3, first push the forks into the base of the rack 3. Under the weight of the rack 3 itself, the protrusion 9 is pressed down, the second spring 25 is compressed, the inclined block 24 moves down and pushes the inclined rod 15 outward, pushing the fixing plate 10 to lock the bottom block 12. The anti-slip teeth on the surface of the fixing plate 10 make the rack 3 slide only in the vertical direction. When the rack 3 is removed, the reaction force of the second spring 25 makes the inclined block 24 and the protrusion 9 rise, and the inclined rod 15 retracts under the action of the first spring 14, releasing the fixing plate 10 from the bottom block 12. This achieves the purpose of automatically limiting the horizontal displacement of the rack 3, preventing the goods from sliding and falling, and solving the safety hazards and losses caused by the slippery surface of the forks and the tilting and tipping of the goods.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
