[0036] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of a forklift fork according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The forklift forks may include a fork body 1, a guide mechanism 2, and a limit detection mechanism 4. The fork body 1 may include a vertical section 10 and a horizontal section 11. The guide mechanism 2 may be located at the front end of the horizontal section 11 to guide the horizontal section 11. A sensor 3 is installed on the guide mechanism 2 to identify the position of the pallet insertion hole. The limit detection mechanism 4 may be located at the end of the horizontal section 11 away from the guide mechanism 2 to limit the forklift after the goods reach a designated position on the horizontal section 11.

[0037] When the forklift is moving and loading goods, sensor 3 detects the position of the pallet slot and the forklift moves forward to load the goods. The guide mechanism 2, located at the front end of the horizontal section 11, guides the horizontal section 11 into the pallet slot. When the goods reach the designated position on the horizontal section 11, the limit detection mechanism 4 restricts the forklift from moving further.

[0038] To facilitate the insertion of the horizontal section 11 of the fork body 1 into the slot of the cargo pallet, in one embodiment of this utility model, the guiding mechanism 2 may include a guide head 20. The bottom of the guide head 20 is an inclined surface whose height gradually increases in the direction away from the horizontal section 11, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.

[0039] Similarly, in order to facilitate the entry of the horizontal section 11 of the fork body 1 into the insertion hole of the cargo pallet, the length of the cross section of the guide head 20 in the direction away from the horizontal section 11 gradually decreases.

[0040] To facilitate the installation of sensor 3, in one embodiment of this utility model, the guide head 20 is provided with a mounting hole 21 at the end away from the horizontal section 11 for installing sensor 3.

[0041] In this embodiment, the type of sensor 3 can be one of many known to those skilled in the art. Considering the purpose of the sensor 3 in guiding the guiding mechanism 2 more precisely, in a preferred example of this invention, the sensor 3 can be an ultrasonic sensor 3.

The support plate 41 can be connected to the limiting plate 40. The detector 42 can be connected to the support plate 41 and is used to detect the distance of the detector 42 relative to the goods. When the detector 42 detects that the goods have reached the designated position on the horizontal section 11, it sends a signal to stop the forklift. Simultaneously, the relative positions of the limiting plate 40 and the support plate 41 on the horizontal section 11 limit the forklift's continued movement.

[0043] In order to install the wiring harness 6 for powering and transmitting signals to the sensor 3, in one embodiment of the present invention, a wiring harness groove 5 is provided on the side of the fork body 1 for installing the wiring harness 6.

The limit detection mechanism 4 may be located at the end of the horizontal section 11 away from the guide mechanism 2 to limit the forklift after the goods reach a designated position on the horizontal section 11.

[0046] When the forklift is moving and loading goods, sensor 3 detects the position of the pallet slot and the forklift moves forward to load the goods. The guide mechanism 2, located at the front end of the horizontal section 11, guides the horizontal section 11 into the pallet slot. When the goods reach the designated position on the horizontal section 11, the limit detection mechanism 4 restricts the forklift from moving further.

[0047] To facilitate the insertion of the horizontal section 11 of the fork body 1 into the slot of the cargo pallet, in one embodiment of this utility model, the guiding mechanism 2 may include a guide head 20. The bottom of the guide head 20 is an inclined surface whose height gradually increases in the direction away from the horizontal section 11, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.

[0048] Similarly, in order to facilitate the entry of the horizontal section 11 of the fork body 1 into the insertion hole of the cargo pallet, the length of the cross section of the guide head 20 in the direction away from the horizontal section 11 gradually decreases.

[0049] To facilitate the installation of sensor 3, in one embodiment of this utility model, the guide head 20 is provided with a mounting hole 21 at the end away from the horizontal section 11 for installing sensor 3.

The limiting plate 40 can be positioned on the top of the horizontal section 11 away from the guide mechanism 2 and connected to the vertical section 10. The support plate 41 can be connected to the limiting plate 40. The detector 42 can be connected to the support plate 41 and is used to detect the distance of the detector 42 relative to the goods. When the detector 42 detects that the goods have reached the designated position on the horizontal section 11, it sends a signal to stop the forklift. Simultaneously, the relative positions of the limiting plate 40 and the support plate 41 on the horizontal section 11 limit the forklift's continued movement.

[0052] In order to install the wiring harness 6 for powering and transmitting signals to the sensor 3, in one embodiment of the present invention, a wiring harness groove 5 is provided on the side of the fork body 1 for installing the wiring harness 6.
