[0002] With social development and increasing commodity circulation, automated warehousing, as a transit point for goods storage, greatly improves the inbound and outbound capacity and space storage efficiency. For small-batch, multi-category, and high-output goods, forklifts can achieve multi-level, layered picking and flexible configuration in a single aisle, improving warehouse inbound and outbound efficiency. They play an increasingly important role in automated logistics systems. Forks are the most commonly used picking device on forklifts, hence the name "forklift." Forks are typically L-shaped, with the horizontal section for placing and lifting goods and the vertical section for support. To improve cargo transportation efficiency, a fork body is needed; however, existing fork bodies still have the following shortcomings:

[0003] For example, the utility model with publication number CN206842986U discloses a fork. The fork provided by this utility model has a protrusion at the corner of the L-shaped main support, which increases the thickness of the L-shaped main support at the corner, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the L-shaped main support and the strength of the fork, preventing the fork from breaking at its corner, and improving the safety performance of the fork. However, similar to the prior art of the above application, when the existing fork body is used, since most fork bodies do not have a buffer structure, the fork and the goods are easily damaged when the fork comes into contact with the goods or shelves, resulting in economic losses and causing problems such as reduced practicality and reduced efficiency of the fork body.

[0006] Furthermore, the internal dimensions of the limiting groove are adapted to the external dimensions of the movable frame, and the movable frame is elastically connected to the limiting groove via a spring damping rod.

[0007] Furthermore, there are two limiting sliders, and the two limiting sliders are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outside of the active frame with respect to the central axis of the front of the active frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the internal dimensions of the limiting through hole are adapted to the external dimensions of the limiting rod, and the limiting rod is embeddedly connected to the limiting slider through the limiting through hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the telescopic component includes a mounting slot, a limiting frame, and a servo motor. The limiting frame is installed inside the mounting slot, and a servo motor is added to the outer end of the limiting frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the telescopic assembly also includes a lead screw, a movable slider, and mounting blocks.
