Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift technology, and more specifically to a single storage device for a light lifting system. Background Technology

[0002] The forklift lifting system is the main load-bearing structure for forklifts to lift goods. It's the mechanism that raises and lowers the load, usually called the mast. It consists of the inner mast, middle mast, outer mast, forks, sprockets, chains, lifting cylinders, and tilting cylinders, among other auxiliary components. Because the forklift lifting system needs to be stored and moved individually after production, and its structural characteristics prevent it from standing upright, it must be placed flat on a special mast pallet with slots along its length. Since a standard lifting system is approximately 2.5m long, the corresponding pallet must also be 2.5m long. Forklifts need to be equipped with extra-long forks for this task. Due to the length of the lifting system and its large turning radius, the transport process is quite difficult. The shoveling process involves off-center loading, which poses a risk of the lifting system falling. When the lifting system is placed flat, it occupies a large area. When the lifting system is lifted from a horizontal position to an upright position and is loaded with a forklift, there is a significant impact on the support structure, causing the lifting system to swing dramatically. It is not permissible to place any objects or allow any people to stand around the lifting system, as this could easily cause injury. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a single storage device for a light-duty lifting system. This storage device features a through-slot in a rectangular steel pipe of the base frame, facilitating forklift fork insertion and enabling forklift movement and shoveling of the entire storage device. This avoids excessive deflection during shoveling and shoveling, making transportation convenient. Simultaneously, a waist-shaped groove plate connects to the base frame, making the storage device more stable. Two vertically arranged support blocks on the waist-shaped groove plate can be inserted into the gantry of an external lifting system to support the lifting system, facilitating placement and retrieval. Vertical lifting is possible, reducing impact on the surrounding environment, improving space utilization, and allowing for the storage of more lifting systems. Furthermore, a gear assembly synchronously adjusts the distance between the two support blocks to accommodate lifting systems with different opening sizes.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a single-unit storage device for a light-duty lifting system, the storage device comprising:

[0005] The base frame is formed by four rectangular steel tubes, and through slots are opened in the two relatively parallel rectangular steel tubes on the outside.

[0006] Waist-shaped channel plate, the waist-shaped channel plate is horizontally fixed between the two rectangular steel pipes located on the outside, and the waist-shaped channel plate is provided with two symmetrical first through slots along the horizontal direction;

[0007] Two support blocks are vertically disposed on the waist-shaped groove plate, and the bottoms of the two support blocks are slidably connected to the two first through grooves.

[0008] A gear assembly is disposed between the two support blocks and closely attached to the top of the waist-shaped groove plate. The gear assembly includes two racks and a gear. The gear is rotatably fixed at the center of the top of the waist-shaped groove plate, and the rack sides of the two racks are slidably connected to the two sides of the gear respectively.

[0035] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a single storage device for a light lifting system according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of a gear assembly accessory for a single storage device in a light lifting system, according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a single storage device for a light lifting system according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the combined assembly of a single storage device for a light-duty lifting system and the lifting system, according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and 4The storage device includes a base frame 1, a waist-shaped groove plate 2, two support blocks 3, and a gear assembly 4. Specifically, the base frame 1 is formed by four rectangular steel pipes 11, and through slots 12 are opened in the two relatively parallel rectangular steel pipes 11 on the outside. The through slots 12 facilitate the insertion of the forks of an external forklift to realize the shoveling and transport of the storage device. The waist-shaped groove plate 2 is horizontally fixed between the two rectangular steel pipes 11 on the outside, and the waist-shaped groove plate 11 has two symmetrical first through slots 21 along the horizontal direction. The support blocks are vertically set on the waist-shaped groove plate 2, and the bottoms of the two support blocks 3 are corresponding to each other. The gear assembly 4 is slidably connected to the two first through slots 21 to achieve sliding support on the waist-shaped slot plate 2. The gear assembly 4 is disposed between the two support blocks 3 and is closely attached to the top of the waist-shaped slot plate 2. The gear assembly 4 includes two racks 42 and a gear 41. The gear 41 is rotatably fixed at the center of the top of the waist-shaped slot plate 2, and the rack sides of the two racks 42 are slidably connected to the two sides of the gear 41 respectively. One end of the two racks 42 is respectively connected to one end of the support block 3 close to the gear 41. When the gear 41 rotates, the racks 42 move in opposite directions, moving the support blocks 3.

[0036] This storage device features through-slots in the rectangular steel tubes of the base frame, facilitating the insertion of forklift forks and enabling forklifts to move and transport the entire device. This avoids excessive deflection during transport, making it convenient to carry. Simultaneously, a waist-shaped groove plate connects to the base frame, making the storage device more stable. Two vertically mounted support blocks on the waist-shaped groove plate can be inserted into the C-slots of the external lifting system's gantry to support the lifting system, facilitating its placement and retrieval. Vertical lifting is possible, minimizing impact on the surrounding environment, improving space utilization, and allowing for the storage of more lifting systems. A gear assembly is also included to synchronously adjust the distance between the two support blocks, accommodating lifting systems with different opening sizes.

[0037] exist Figure 1 and 3 In this invention, considering that the length of the right-angled side of the triangular block 5 affects its function on the support block and the overall structural layout, in one embodiment of the present invention, the length of the second right-angled side of the triangular block 5 is greater than the length of the first through groove 21, and the length of the second right-angled side is less than the distance between the gear 41 and one end of the support block 3 near the gear 41. This ensures that when the support block 3 moves within the first through groove 21, even when it moves to the end of the first through groove 21 away from the gear 41, a portion of the second right-angled side of the triangular block 5 can still be in close contact with the top of the waist-shaped groove plate 2, without being suspended, thus assisting the support block 3 in providing support. At the same time, when the support block 3 moves to the end of the first through groove 21 near the gear 41, the length of the second right-angled side is less than the distance between the gear and one end of the support block 3 near the gear, so the second right-angled side of the triangular block 3 will not touch the gear 41, avoiding affecting the meshing and rotation of the gear 41 and the rack 42.

[0038] exist Figure 2 In order to protect the operation of the rack 42, prevent the rack 42 from tilting, and ensure a tight connection between the rack 42 and the gear 41, in one embodiment of this utility model, the storage device further includes two guide and limiting bearings 6, which are disposed on the top of the waist-shaped groove plate 2, and the two guide and limiting bearings 6 are respectively and closely attached to the non-rack side of the two racks 42, close to the gear 41. This ensures that the rack 42 is tightly connected to the gear 41 in the moving direction, ensuring a large meshing force between the gear 41 and the rack 42, preventing the support block 3 from easily moving within the first through groove 21, and ensuring the stability of the gear assembly 4.

[0039] exist Figure 2 In this invention, considering the large meshing force between gear 41 and rack 42, in one embodiment of the present invention, a hexagonal head 43 is provided on the top of gear 41, which is connected to an external drive mechanism to adjust the rotation of gear 41. When the external drive mechanism, such as an electric drive tool, drives the hexagonal head 43 to rotate, the gear 41 rotates, thereby adjusting the distance between the two support blocks 4 to meet the storage requirements of lifting systems with different opening sizes.

[0040] exist Figure 1 and 4 In this invention, considering the large weight of the lifting system and to facilitate its guiding connection with the support block 3, a chamfer 31 is provided on the top of the support block 3 in one embodiment. The chamfer 31 facilitates the better and faster insertion of the lifting system.

[0041] exist Figure 1 and 3 In order to limit the sliding of the support block 3 while maintaining its supporting function, in one embodiment of this utility model, a slider part 32 is provided at the bottom of the support block 3, and the slider part 32 is slidably connected to the first through groove 21; a support part 33 is provided in the middle of the support block 3, and the bottom of both sides of the support part 33 is in close contact with the top of the waist-shaped groove plate 2. The slider part 32 slides and is limited within the first through groove 21, while the bottom of both sides of the support part 3 contacts the waist-shaped groove plate 2 to achieve support.

[0042] exist Figure 1 and 3In order to prevent the support block 3 from tilting laterally in the first through groove 21, and to protect the support block 3 and prevent the lifting system from tipping over, in one embodiment of this utility model, the support block 3 includes a limiting block 34, which is longitudinally arranged below the first through groove 21, and the limiting block 34 is fixedly connected to the slider part 32 by bolts. The limiting block 34 is close to the bottom of the waist-shaped groove plate 2. The limiting block 34 can be longitudinally arranged below the first through groove 21. The limiting block 34 and the slider part 32 are connected by bolts, and the bolts pass through the first through groove 21 to prevent the support block 3 from tilting laterally.

[0043] exist Figure 1 In order to prevent the first through groove 21 from being crushed by the lifting system when it supports the lifting system, in one embodiment of the present invention, the two ends of the first through groove 21 are set to be semi-circular. The semi-circular shape can reasonably withstand stress and prevent the first through groove 21 from being damaged.

[0044] Through the above technical solution, the storage device utilizes a through-slot in the rectangular steel tube of the base frame to facilitate the insertion of forklift forks, enabling forklifts to move and transport the entire storage device. This avoids the impact of excessive deflection during transport, making delivery convenient. Simultaneously, a waist-shaped groove plate connects to the base frame, making the storage device more stable. Two vertically mounted support blocks on the waist-shaped groove plate can be inserted into the C-shaped slots of the external lifting system's gantry to support the lifting system, facilitating its placement and retrieval. Vertical lifting is possible, minimizing impact on the surrounding environment, improving space utilization, and allowing for the storage of more lifting systems. The top of the support blocks is chamfered for quick insertion of the lifting system. Two triangular blocks are connected to the two support blocks to further enhance support capacity. A gear assembly synchronously adjusts the movement of the two support blocks to accommodate lifting systems with different opening sizes. Guide and limit bearings limit the movement of the rack, ensuring structural stability. The top of the gear has a hexagonal head that connects to the external drive mechanism for easy adjustment of gear rotation.

[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not further describe the various possible combinations.
