Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics equipment technology, and in particular to a rotating telescopic fork mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] The forklift mechanism is the core actuator of the stacker crane in an automated warehouse. It adopts a three-level nested mechanical structure design and is mainly used to achieve precise storage and retrieval of goods in the aisle. It can complete long-distance transportation in a limited space through a three-level differential structure.
[0003] Currently, existing forklift mechanisms, as the main equipment for cargo transportation, mainly consist of three parts: bottom fork, middle fork, and top fork. The bottom fork is fixed on the loading platform to provide support, the middle fork achieves lateral movement through gear rack or chain transmission, and the top fork extends at twice the speed through a linear differential mechanism to complete a large-distance extension and retraction.
[0004] However, with the above method, since the position of the existing fork mechanism is fixed, it is impossible to change the fork direction according to different fork conditions, which leads to low versatility. Utility Model Content

[0010] The driving component includes a motor bracket, a direct-output reducer, a drive motor, a first synchronous pulley, a second synchronous pulley, a synchronous belt, and a drive block.

The forks are fixedly connected to the pallet and are located on one side of the pallet.
[0012] This utility model discloses a rotary telescopic fork mechanism. In use, the translation structure drives the first fork connecting plate to move the forklift component, which lifts a pallet. Then, the translation structure is controlled again to retract the forklift component. Subsequently, the rotary motor drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the bearing gear ring to rotate. The bearing gear ring rotates, which in turn drives the mounting plate to rotate. The mounting plate then rotates the translation structure and the forklift component by 180 degrees. Finally, the translation structure is controlled to extend the forklift component to stack the pallet. This solves the problem of existing fork mechanisms, which have fixed positions and cannot change the forklift direction according to different forklift conditions, resulting in low versatility.
