[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0024] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a forklift structure with adjustable spacing, comprising a frame 1, a square groove 2 in the middle of the frame 1, an adjustment component 3 in the square groove 2, the adjustment component 3 comprising racks 301 installed at the top and bottom of the square groove 2, a slider 302 installed between the two racks 301, the slider 302 sliding in the square groove 2, the top and bottom of the slider 302 being provided with multiple tooth blocks 303, the tooth blocks 303 meshing with the racks 301; a fork plate 4 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the slider 302, and a limiting mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the racks 301.
[0025] Specifically, in practical applications and operations, by adjusting the lateral spacing between the forks 4, the equipment can flexibly adapt to the carrying requirements of goods of different sizes and specifications. This function greatly improves the versatility and operational efficiency of the equipment. Operators can adjust the opening and closing degree of the forks 4 according to the actual width of the goods to make it best match the outline of the goods, thereby ensuring that the goods are stably and safely clamped or lifted.
[0026] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The limiting mechanism 5 includes a baffle 501 axially connected to the side wall of the rack 301. Both ends of the baffle 501 are provided with shafts 502. A block 503 is installed at the end of the shaft 502. A pin 504 is provided at the upper end of the block 503. The limiting mechanism 5 also includes a first insertion hole 505 and a second insertion hole 506 opened on the side wall of the frame 1. The pin 504 is adapted to the first insertion hole 505 and the second insertion hole 506. When the baffle 501 is in contact with the side wall of the rack 301, the pin 504 is inserted into the first insertion hole 505. When the baffle 501 is rotated to be in contact with the top of the square groove 2, the pin 504 is inserted into the second insertion hole 506. The width of the baffle 501 is the same as the width of the square groove 2, and the side wall of the baffle 501 is in contact with the side wall of the square groove 2.
[0027] Specifically, in the workplace, such as Figure 2As shown, this is the initial state of the device. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the fork plates 4, the pin 504 is pulled out from the first insertion hole 505, and the pin 504 is rotated, which simultaneously drives the shaft 502 and the baffle 501 to rotate. The pin 504 is rotated 90°, and then the pin 504 is inserted into the second insertion hole 506, which fixes the baffle 501. At this time, the pull rod 6 is pulled inward, which drives the fork plate 4 to move inward, which in turn drives the slider 302 to move inward, thereby causing the tooth block 303 to disengage from the rack 301. Then, the pull rod 6 is pulled left and right to adjust the fork plate. After adjusting the spacing between the four holes, pull out the pin 504 to rotate the baffle 501. When the pin 504 rotates to the first socket 505, it is inserted into the first socket 505, thereby fixing the baffle 501 and fixing the fork plate 4 in the longitudinal direction. Since the pin 504 is damped with the first socket 505 and the second socket 506, the pin 504 will not detach from the pin 504 and the first socket 505 and the second socket 506 when external force is applied, ensuring that the fork plate 4 will not wobble when it is working and is very stable.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 The fork plate 4 is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the side of the fork plate 4 is tapered; the pin 504 is damped by the first socket 505 and the second socket 506.
[0029] Specifically, without the aid of external tools or the application of external force, the pin 504 can be stably held in the mating position of the first socket 505 and the second socket 506, and will not fall off accidentally. This design ensures that when the fork plate 4 is in working condition, especially when carrying goods, performing lifting or handling operations, the pin 504 can effectively suppress the longitudinal or lateral displacement that the fork plate 4 may produce, thereby improving the reliability, safety and accuracy of the entire attachment operation.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Both ends of the frame 1 are provided with arc-shaped grooves, and the shaft 502 rotates in the arc-shaped grooves. The side wall of the fork plate 4 is provided with a tie rod 6, and the surface of the tie rod 6 is provided with protrusions.
[0031] When it is necessary to adjust the lateral spacing between the forks 4, the operator only needs to hold the lever 6 and push it inward to release its original locked state; then, keeping the lever 6 in the slack state, the operator can move the lever 6 left and right to smoothly adjust the forks 4 to the required width. The surface of the lever 6 has protrusions that can significantly increase the friction between the lever and the palm, which not only facilitates the application of force but also effectively prevents slippage or loss of hand due to sweaty hands or insufficient force during the pushing and pulling process.
[0032] Working principle: In operation, such as Figure 2As shown, this is the initial state of the device. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the fork plates 4, the pin 504 is pulled out from the first insertion hole 505, and the pin 504 is rotated, which simultaneously drives the shaft 502 and the baffle 501 to rotate. The pin 504 is rotated 90°, and then the pin 504 is inserted into the second insertion hole 506, which fixes the baffle 501. At this time, the pull rod 6 is pulled inward, which drives the fork plate 4 to move inward, which in turn drives the slider 302 to move inward, thereby causing the tooth block 303 to disengage from the rack 301. Then, the pull rod 6 is pulled left and right to adjust the fork plate. After adjusting the spacing between the four holes, pull out the pin 504 to rotate the baffle 501. When the pin 504 rotates to the first socket 505, it is inserted into the first socket 505, thereby fixing the baffle 501 and fixing the fork plate 4 in the longitudinal direction. Since the pin 504 is damped with the first socket 505 and the second socket 506, the pin 504 will not detach from the pin 504 and the first socket 505 and the second socket 506 without external force, ensuring that the fork plate 4 will not wobble and is very stable when it is working.
[0033] 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.
