Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift equipment technology, specifically to a forklift waste clamp. Background Technology

[0002] The information disclosed in the background section of this utility model is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model, and is not necessarily to be regarded as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0003] Forklifts are widely used as core material handling equipment in industrial production, logistics, and resource recycling, for loading, unloading, and transferring various materials. With increasing environmental awareness and growing demand for resource recycling, efficient and safe handling of waste materials has become a crucial aspect of business operations.

[0004] Traditional forklifts are typically equipped with standard forks, making them only suitable for handling palletized, orderly goods. When dealing with loose, irregular, or easily scattered scrap materials, they suffer from unstable clamping, material spillage, and low operating efficiency, failing to meet the demands of actual working conditions. To address these issues, various forklift-specific attachments have emerged, among which scrap clamps are widely used as a highly efficient clamping device. Existing scrap clamps mostly employ an upper and lower clamping arm structure, using hydraulic or mechanical drives to achieve opening and closing, enabling the clamping and handling of scrap materials.

[0005] However, most existing waste clamps only have basic opening and closing functions and lack the ability to adjust the horizontal position or tilt angle, which limits their operation in narrow spaces or in front of waste piles of different sizes, resulting in poor adaptability. Moreover, when handling loose materials, the gap between the clamping forks of existing waste clamps can easily cause materials to fall from the bottom, resulting in environmental pollution and resource waste. This problem is particularly prominent when handling fine waste. They also cannot be flexibly configured according to actual needs, reducing the versatility and ease of maintenance of the equipment.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need for a new forklift scrap clamp that can adapt to diverse scrap types and operating environments through combined actions such as horizontal extension and tilt adjustment, and effectively reduce material spillage through a detachable leak-proof structure. Utility Model Content

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a forklift scrap clamp that can realize compound actions such as clamping, tilting, and horizontal extension and retraction, and has a modular leak-proof structure.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A forklift scrap clamp includes a mounting plate base, on the front side of which a clamp body is mounted; a mounting cylinder extension beam is provided on the bottom side of the mounting plate base, and a telescopic beam is slidably fitted inside the mounting cylinder extension beam. The telescopic beam is driven to extend and retract by a first telescopic rod inside the mounting cylinder beam, and the telescopic beam is hinged to the bottom of the clamp body. A second telescopic rod is installed near the top of the mounting plate base, and the telescopic end of the second telescopic rod is hinged to the middle of the material clamp body.

[0009] Preferably, the material clamp body includes a material clamp main frame, and the material clamp main frame is provided with a rear end frame that is hingedly connected to the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic beam; The bottom front end of the main clamp frame is provided with multiple lower clamp forks, and the top hinge point of the main clamp frame is hinged to the upper clamp fork.

[0010] Preferably, the upper fork of the clamp is hinged to the telescopic end of the third telescopic rod at the second hinge point located behind the first hinge point, and the other end of the third telescopic rod is hinged to the main frame of the clamp.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting cylinder extends into the beam and has a mounting cavity for slidingly mounting the telescopic beam. A slide rail or slide groove is provided on the inner side of the mounting cavity, and the telescopic beam is provided with a pulley or slider that matches the slide groove. A reinforcing rib is provided at the angle between the mounting plate base and the extension beam of the mounting cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, the upper fork of the clamp includes a drive frame and multiple curved forks, with the first hinge point and the second hinge point located on the rear side of the drive frame.

[0013] Preferably, the device also includes a fork-sleeve hopper, which is fitted onto the lower fork of the material clamp. The fork-type hopper includes a bottom plate and a back plate. The bottom plate has a sleeve hole that matches the lower fork of the material clamp, and the back plate is fixed to the main frame of the material clamp by fasteners.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom plate and the lower fork of the clamp are provided with limit holes for use with fasteners for limiting and fixing.

[0015] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: This invention achieves horizontal position adjustment and pitch angle adjustment of the material clamp body through the coordinated drive of the first and second telescopic rods, so as to adapt to different cargo depths and different working spaces, significantly improving the operational flexibility of the equipment in narrow spaces or complex working conditions.

[0016] This invention features a leak-proof fork sleeve hopper structure with a modular, detachable design. Connected via bolts through holes in the base plate and limit holes, it allows for quick installation and disassembly without requiring permanent modifications to the forklift attachments. This structure effectively prevents material debris from falling through the gap between the lower forks during clamping, making it particularly suitable for handling loose materials such as paper scraps and metal shavings. It significantly reduces the risk of material spillage, lowers cleaning costs, and meets the needs of scenarios with high environmental protection requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Figures 1 to 2 A forklift scrap clamp is presented, including a mounting plate 100. The mounting plate 100 serves as a connecting hub for the overall structure, and is fixed to the forklift mast by bolts or welding to achieve a mechanical connection with the forklift. A clamp body is mounted on the front side of the mounting plate 100. A mounting cylinder extension beam 200 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the mounting plate 100. To improve stability and withstand greater loads, a reinforcing rib plate 240 is provided at the angle between the mounting plate 100 and the mounting cylinder extension beam 200. A telescopic beam 210 is slidably fitted inside the mounting cylinder extension beam 200. The telescopic beam 210 is driven to extend and retract by a first telescopic rod 230 inside the mounting cylinder beam. The telescopic beam 210 is hinged to the bottom of the clamp body.

[0021] Specifically, the mounting cylinder extending from the beam 200 has a mounting cavity for slidingly mounting the telescopic beam 210. A slide rail or groove 220 is provided on the inner side of the mounting cavity, and the telescopic beam 210 is equipped with a pulley or slider 211 that matches the groove 220. This ensures smooth telescopic movement and improves positioning accuracy.

[0022] Among them, the mounting cylinder extension beam 200 provides stable guidance for the telescopic beam 210 and enables the telescopic end of the telescopic beam 210 to withstand a large load, which is the structure that provides the main load capacity for the material clamp body.

[0023] The first telescopic rod 230 drives the telescopic beam 210 to slide back and forth along the extension beam 200 of the mounting cylinder, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the clamp body to adapt to different cargo depths or working space requirements. A second telescopic rod 300 is installed near the top of the mounting plate 100. The telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 300 is hinged to the middle of the clamp body. The extension and retraction of the second telescopic rod 300 can coordinate with the extension beam to adjust the horizontal position to adapt to different cargo depths or working space requirements. Furthermore, when the extension beam is stationary and the first telescopic rod 230 stops working, the extension and retraction of the second telescopic rod 300 can also adjust the overall pitch angle of the clamp.

[0024] The clamping body includes a clamping main frame 400, which has a rear end frame 410 hinged to the first telescopic rod 230 and the second telescopic beam 210. Multiple clamping lower forks 500 are located at the bottom front end of the clamping main frame 400, and a clamping upper fork 600 is hinged to the first hinge point 630 at the top of the clamping main frame 400. In other words, the clamping main frame 400 acts as the load-bearing core, transmitting driving force through the rear end frame 410 hinged to the first telescopic rod 230 and the second telescopic rod 300. The bottom clamping lower forks 500 are used to insert into the waste pile, and the top clamping upper fork 600 is driven by a third telescopic rod 640 to open and close, forming a three-dimensional gripping structure. The third telescopic rod 640 drives the clamping upper fork 600 to rotate around the first hinge point 630, cooperating with the clamping lower forks 500 to clamp and release the waste.

[0025] The upper fork 600 of the clamp is hinged to the telescopic end of the third telescopic rod 640 at the second hinge point 620, located behind the first hinge point 630. The hinge point position is designed to create a lever effect, which can increase the clamping force or adjust the clamping range. The other end of the third telescopic rod 640 is hinged to the clamp main frame 400. The first telescopic rod 230, the second telescopic rod 300, and the third telescopic rod 640 can all be hydraulic rods.

[0026] The specific structure of the material clamp upper fork 600 is as follows: it includes a drive frame and multiple curved forks 610, with the first hinge point 630 and the second hinge point 620 located on the rear side of the drive frame.

[0027] In another embodiment, the forklift scrap clamp is further equipped with a fork sleeve scoop 700 leak-proof structure, which is fitted onto the lower fork 500 of the clamp. The fork sleeve scoop 700 includes a base plate and a back plate 730. The base plate has a fitting hole 710 that matches the lower fork 500 of the clamp. When scrap is clamped, the base plate can prevent fragments from falling from the gap between the lower forks, which is especially suitable for handling loose materials such as paper scraps and metal shavings. The back plate 730 is fixed to the main frame 400 of the clamp with fasteners to enhance structural stability. At the same time, the base plate and the lower fork 500 have limiting holes 720 on their sides, which can be bolted together to prevent the fork sleeve scoop 700 from sliding or falling off during operation, ensuring the reliability of the leak-proof function.

[0028] In summary, this forklift scrap clamp can perform combined actions such as clamping, tilting, and horizontal extension, adapting to diverse scrap types and operating environments. Furthermore, the fork sleeve scoop 700 can be quickly connected to the clamp's lower fork 500 via the sleeve hole 710 and fasteners, without requiring permanent modifications to the forklift attachments. This modular design facilitates installation when leak prevention is needed and disassembly when not, balancing versatility and specialization. It effectively reduces material spillage and lowers cleaning costs, making it particularly suitable for scenarios with high environmental protection requirements.
