Detailed Implementation

[0016] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0017] Example 1: As Figures 1-5 ,include: The bracket 100 includes a vertical part 110 and a horizontal part 120. The vertical part 110 is detachably and fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the forklift by a first bolt 130. The inner wall of the horizontal part 120 is provided with a sliding groove 101, and the inner wall of the sliding groove 101 is adjustablely connected to an adjusting rod 160. The guide assembly includes a guide rod 200, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjusting rod 160, and a roller 230 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the front end of the guide rod 200. The buffer assembly includes a spring 300, which is connected to the tail of the guide rod 200, and the inner wall of the spring 300 is provided with a damping structure.

[0018] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: The bracket 100 is fixed to the side of the forklift via the vertical part 110 and the first bolt 130, providing support for the overall device; the slide groove 101 on the inner wall of the horizontal part 120 provides a base for the installation and adjustment of the adjusting rod 160, which can be adjusted in lateral position along the slide groove 101 to adapt to different initial guidance requirements; in the guide assembly, the guide rod 200 slides along the inner wall of the adjusting rod 160 to prevent the vehicle body from deviating; in the buffer assembly, the spring 300 is connected to the tail of the guide rod 200. When the roller 230 is slightly impacted or bumped by the shelf, the spring 300 undergoes elastic deformation to absorb the impact force, and the damping structure on the inner wall slows down the rebound speed of the spring 300, preventing the guide rod 200 from deviating due to excessive rebound. It is suitable for cargo handling operations in ordinary warehousing environments, such as the picking and stacking of goods on fixed-spacing shelves in small and medium-sized warehouses. It does not require frequent adjustment of the guide width, only basic guidance and buffering functions are needed to prevent slight collisions between the forklift and the shelf during operation, protecting the goods and shelf structure.

[0019] Example 2: Figures 3-5 The inner wall of the horizontal part 120 is evenly provided with first screw holes 102, and the outer wall of the adjusting rod 160 is evenly provided with second screw holes 162. The first screw holes 102 and the second screw holes 162 are fixedly connected to the bracket 100 and the adjusting rod 160 by the second bolt 150. The first screw holes 102 and the second screw holes 162 are used to adjust the extension and retraction of the adjusting rod 160. The top outer wall of the adjusting rod 160 is provided with a first scale 161. The head end of the adjusting rod 160 is welded to the anti-detachment bracket 170. The top outer wall of the bracket 170 is provided with a groove 171. The inner wall of the groove 171 is fixedly installed with the anti-detachment plate 180 by the third bolt 182.

[0020] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: The first screw hole 102 of the horizontal part 120 and the second screw hole 162 of the adjusting rod 160 are engaged by the second bolt 150 to fix the extension and retraction of the adjusting rod 160. When the guide width needs to be adjusted, the second bolt 150 is loosened, and the adjusting rod 160 is pushed to slide along the slide groove 101. The extension and retraction length is read by the first scale 161 on the top of the adjusting rod 160 to ensure adjustment accuracy. After adjusting to the target width, the second bolt 150 is inserted into the corresponding positions of the first screw hole 102 and the second screw hole 162 to complete the fixing of the adjusting rod 160. The anti-detachment bracket 170 at the head end of the adjusting rod 160 is fitted with an anti-detachment plate 180 through the groove 171 and the third bolt 182. This can initially limit the sliding range of the subsequent guide rod 200 to prevent the guide rod 200 from detaching from the adjusting rod 160. This is suitable for storage environments where multiple specifications of shelves coexist.

[0021] Example 3: Figure 4 and Figure 5 The guide rod 200 has an anti-slip groove 210 on its top outer wall, and the anti-slip plate 180 has a stop block 181 on its bottom outer wall. The stop block 181 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the anti-slip groove 210. The guide rod 200 has a second scale 220 on its top outer wall.

[0022] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: the anti-slip groove 210 at the top of the guide rod 200 slides in conjunction with the stop block 181 at the bottom of the anti-slip plate 180. When the guide rod 200 slides along the adjusting rod 160, the stop block 181 is always restricted within the anti-slip groove 210, completely preventing the guide rod 200 from falling out of the adjusting rod 160. The second scale 220 at the top of the guide rod 200 can display the extension length of the guide rod 200 in real time. By observing the scale value, the driver can accurately grasp the working status of the guide rod 200 and avoid insufficient guiding range due to insufficient extension of the guide rod 200, or collision with other objects due to excessive extension.

[0023] Example 4: Figure 5The damping structure includes a damping block 310, which is provided in two sets. The damping block 310 is fixedly connected with the spring 300. A hydraulic damping rod 320 is fixedly installed between the two damping blocks 310. A second spring 330 is sleeved on the outer wall of the hydraulic damping rod 320.

[0024] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: The damping structure of the buffer component enhances the initial buffering effect by cooperating with the spring 300 through two sets of damping blocks 310; the hydraulic damping rod 320 between the two damping blocks 310 and the second spring 330 on the outer wall form a double buffer. When the roller 230 is subjected to a large impact, such as a forklift with a large amplitude of bumps and a strong collision force, the spring 300 and the second spring 330 first absorb part of the impact force through elastic deformation, and the hydraulic damping rod 320 slowly releases the impact force by utilizing the viscous resistance of the hydraulic oil. The damping block 310 assists in dispersing the point of application of the force, avoiding excessive local force and damage to the components, thus achieving dual protection of "elastic buffering + hydraulic damping".

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When used by those skilled in the art, the overall device is supported by the bracket 100 and fixed to the side of the forklift by the vertical part 110 and the first bolt 130 to ensure structural stability; the adjusting rod 160 can be extended and retracted along the slide groove 101 of the horizontal part 120 by means of the first screw hole 102, the second screw hole 162 and the second bolt 150, and the first scale 161 is used to achieve precise adaptation of the guide width; the guide rod 200 slides along the adjusting rod 160, the front roller 230 provides lateral guidance, the anti-detachment slide groove 210 and the stop block 181 cooperate to prevent the guide rod 200 from falling off, and the second scale 220 monitors the displacement of the guide rod 200; the buffer assembly forms a multi-buffer structure through the spring 300, the damping block 310, the hydraulic damping rod 320 and the second spring 330 to absorb the impact and bumps during operation; the components work together to achieve precise guidance, flexible adjustment, anti-detachment protection and shock absorption protection during forklift operation.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
