Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stacker technology, specifically to a stable frame structure for stackers. Background Technology
[0002] Forklifts are commonly used loading and unloading equipment in warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing workshops, mainly for the vertical stacking and horizontal transport of palletized goods. With the increase in automation, the lifting height and operating efficiency of forklifts have been continuously improved, but problems such as poor stability, easy tipping, and bumpy ride when operating at heights have become increasingly prominent.
[0003] Most current stackers use fixed casters, which cause significant vibration when running on uneven ground, affecting operator comfort and cargo safety. Furthermore, when the forks are raised to a high position, the vehicle's center of gravity shifts forward, making it easy for the rear wheels to lift off the ground and reducing its resistance to tipping over. Therefore, we have proposed a stable frame structure for stackers. Utility Model Content

[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0024] Example: Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention relates to a stable frame structure for stacker trucks, comprising a base frame 1, with upright masts 2 fixedly connected to the upper two sides of the base frame 1, a horizontal plate 3 fixedly connected between the tops of the two upright masts 2, a mounting frame 4 provided on the side near the upright masts 2, and the mounting frame 4 fixedly connected to the base frame 1, with support casters 5 rotatably connected to both sides of the mounting frame 4, connecting seats 6 fixedly connected to the upper ends of both sides of the base frame 1, universal wheels 7 fixedly installed at the bottom of the two connecting seats 6, a protective shell 8 fixedly welded inside the mounting frame 4, and bases 10 symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the base frame 1, with dampers fixedly connected to the upper ends of the two bases 10, and guide seats 11 slidably connected to the outer periphery of the dampers.
[0025] A servo motor 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the guide seat 11. The output end of the servo motor 9 is connected to the support caster 5 through the guide seat 11 via a coupling. A fixed plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the damper. A return spring 12 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the upper end of the damper. The two ends of the return spring 12 are fixedly connected to the top of the guide seat 11 and the bottom of the fixed plate 13, respectively. The support caster 5 is driven by the servo motor 9 to achieve autonomous walking. The return spring 12 and the damper work together to effectively absorb the ground impact vibration.
[0026] The guide seat 11 is provided with rubber buffer posts 14 on both sides, and the two ends of the rubber buffer posts 14 are fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 1 and the bottom of the fixed plate 13 respectively. The rubber buffer posts 14 further absorb residual impact energy during severe bumps, prevent hard collisions, and improve driving stability.
[0027] The column gantry 2 has guide rails 15 fixedly connected to both outer walls. The guide rails 15 are slidably connected to the fork carriage 16. Two fork rods 17 are bolted to one side of the fork carriage 16. The guide rails 15 provide stable guidance for the fork carriage 16, ensuring smooth lifting without swaying, and improving stacking accuracy and operational safety.
[0028] Among them, a geared motor 18 is fixedly installed below the column mast 2. The output end of the geared motor 18 is connected to a threaded rod 19 through a coupling. A threaded block 20 is connected to the outer circumference of the threaded rod 19, and the threaded block 20 is fixedly connected to the fork carriage 16. The smooth lifting and lowering of the forks is achieved through the geared motor 18 and the threaded transmission. The structure is simple, the transmission accuracy is high, and the self-locking performance is good.
[0029] The lower outer periphery of the threaded rod 19 is fixedly connected to a worm gear 21, and the outer periphery of the worm gear 21 is connected to a worm 22. One end of the worm 22 passes through the mounting bracket 4 and is fixedly connected to a handwheel 23. In case of power failure or control system failure, emergency operation can be performed manually by turning the handwheel 23 to drive the worm 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm gear 21 that meshes with it to rotate, thereby controlling the threaded rod 19 to slowly reverse and causing the fork carriage 16 to descend at a uniform speed, ensuring the safety of goods and personnel.
[0030] The mounting frame 4 has a hinged door 24 connected to one side. A battery 25 is fixedly installed on the top of the protective shell 8 and is electrically connected to the servo motor 9 and the geared motor 18. Several counterweights 26 are movably connected to one side of the interior of the mounting frame 4. A protective plate 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 4. The protective plate 27 can protect the operator and ensure driving safety.
[0031] Working Principle: When in use, the power is connected, and the battery 25 supplies power to the two servo motors 9 and the geared motor 18. The servo motors 9 drive the support casters 5 to rotate via couplings, enabling the stacker to move autonomously. During movement, when the support casters 5 encounter ground bumps or depressions, the guide seat 11 is subjected to force and slides upwards along the guide direction of the damper, compressing the return spring 12, effectively absorbing impact energy and preventing vibration from being transmitted to the vehicle body. When the external force disappears, the return spring 12 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the guide seat 11 to return to its normal position. Simultaneously, the rubber buffer pillars 14 on both sides provide multiple buffer protection during compression and recovery, further improving driving stability and operational comfort. The lifting and lowering of the forks is driven by the geared motor 18. After the motor starts, it drives the threaded rod 19 to rotate via the coupling. The threaded block 20 moves up and down along the threaded rod 19 under the action of threaded transmission. The fork carriage 16 moves linearly along the guide rail 15, enabling the smooth lifting and lowering of the fork lever 17 to complete pallet stacking or picking operations. In case of power failure or control system malfunction, emergency operation can be performed manually by turning the handwheel 23, which drives the worm gear 22 to rotate, thereby controlling the threaded rod 19 to slowly reverse, allowing the fork carriage 16 to descend at a uniform speed, ensuring the safety of goods and personnel. In addition, the counterweight 26 can be added or removed inside the mounting frame 4 according to the actual load conditions to adjust the weight of the rear of the vehicle, optimize the center of gravity distribution, and significantly improve the anti-tipping ability when working at height. The door 24 can be opened for maintenance, the structure is safe and reliable, and maintenance is convenient. The protective plate 27 can protect the operator and ensure driving safety.
