Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of forklift accessories technology, and more particularly to a stabilizing device and a forklift. Background Technology

[0002] Forklifts, as core equipment in modern logistics and warehousing operations, can flexibly complete loading, unloading, stacking, and short-distance handling in narrow aisles thanks to their mast tilting, fork side-shifting, and high-lifting functions. With their powerful engines and smooth lifting, they can transfer multiple layers of drums or stacked goods at once, significantly improving operational efficiency and reducing manual labor intensity. They are essential equipment for factories, ports, and warehouses to achieve mechanized handling.

[0003] However, when a forklift lifts stacked goods such as drums, the cylindrical shape of the drums, their high center of gravity, and small contact area make them prone to shaking if the forklift starts and stops suddenly, turns, or if there are potholes or slopes on the road. Without anti-slip measures such as wrapping film, clamps, or guardrails, the slight displacement at the bottom can be amplified instantly, causing the upper drums to roll and fall. This not only damages the materials and packaging but may also injure personnel, interrupt the transportation process, and directly affect operational safety and efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a stabilizing device and a forklift to solve the problem that when forklifts transport stacked goods such as iron drums on pallets, the cylindrical shape of the drums, their high center of gravity, and small contact surface can easily cause the entire stack to shake due to sudden starts and stops, turns, excessive centrifugal force, or uneven or sloping road surfaces. This can cause the upper iron drums to roll and slip, damaging the materials and packaging, potentially injuring personnel, interrupting the transportation process, and directly affecting operational safety and efficiency.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a stabilizing device applied to a forklift, the forklift including a body, a platform, and a push plate, the platform being slidably disposed on the body along a vertical direction, and the push plate being movably disposed on the platform along the forklift's longitudinal direction, comprising: A stabilizing component is provided, which is movably connected to the push plate. The stabilizing component has a receiving cavity and a clearance opening that connects the receiving cavity to the outside. The clearance opening is used to allow the item to be transported to enter the receiving cavity.

[0006] Optionally, the stabilizing component includes an adjusting member and a main body, the adjusting member being slidably connected to the main body, the receiving cavity being located within the main body, and the clearance opening being located on one side wall of the main body.

[0007] Optionally, the stabilizing device includes a sliding assembly, which includes a slider and a slide rail that are slidably connected. The slide rail is connected to the adjusting member, and the slider is connected to the main body.

[0008] Optionally, the sliding assembly further includes a locking member, and the slider has a locking hole. The locking member is screwed into the locking hole to prevent the adjusting member from sliding between the adjusting member and the main body.

[0009] Optionally, the main body is rotatably connected to the end of the push plate away from the carrier plate.

[0010] Optionally, the stabilizing device includes a drive member for driving the main body to rotate, so that the item to be transported enters or leaves the receiving cavity.

[0011] Optionally, the stabilizing device further includes a rotating shaft and a transmission component, the transmission component connecting the output end of the drive component and the main body component, the rotating shaft being connected to the push plate and rotatably connected to the main body component.

[0012] Optionally, the transmission component has a support section and a lifting section, the support section and the lifting section are arranged at an angle, one end of the support section is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, the other end of the support section is connected to the lifting section, and the two ends of the lifting section are respectively connected to the output ends of the main body and the driving component.

[0013] Optionally, both the main body and the adjusting component have a hollow structure.

[0014] Secondly, this application provides a forklift, comprising: Vehicle body; A carrier plate, which is slidably disposed on the vehicle body along a vertical direction; A push plate, which is movably disposed on the carrier plate along the front-rear direction of the forklift; The first aspect of this application provides a stabilizing device in which the stabilizing component is movably connected to the push plate.

[0015] The technical solutions provided in this application have the following advantages compared with the prior art: The stabilizing device provided in this application includes a stabilizing component. The stabilizing component is based on a cuboid box or frame. The stabilizing component can be slidably connected to the push plate via a guide rail slider, or it can be rotatably connected via a hinge or a hole shaft. The specific connection is not limited and can be adapted according to the shape and position of the clearance hole on the stabilizing component. The inside of the stabilizing component is hollowed out to form a receiving cavity with a clearance opening at the top. The clearance opening of the receiving cavity is slightly larger than the overall shape of the iron drum stack. A continuous hollow rubber strip can be pasted on the inner side of the clearance opening to prevent the stabilizing component from colliding with the iron drums. When it is necessary to transport items such as iron drums, the entire stack of iron drums enters the receiving cavity through the clearance opening. This process can be achieved by flipping or sliding the stabilizing component. After the entire stack of iron drums enters the receiving cavity, the stabilizing component and the push plate limit the entire stack of iron drums on four sides (front, back, left, and right), so that the entire layer of iron drums is simultaneously fixed in the horizontal, vertical, and longitudinal directions on the carrier plate, and can be lifted and transported directly without additional binding. After the stabilizing component houses the entire iron drum, the inertial and centrifugal forces generated when the forklift starts, stops, turns, or passes over potholes are all absorbed by the side plates and rubber strips of the stabilizing component. The iron drum stack no longer rolls or slips relative to each other, completely eliminating the risk of collapse. The stabilizing component is movably connected to the push plate. When unloading, simply rotate or slide the stabilizing component to release the constraint on the iron drum stack. Then push the push plate outward, and the entire iron drum stack will be unloaded naturally. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments.

Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0024] To address the technical problem in existing technologies where stacked goods such as iron drums are transported on forklift pallets 7, the cylindrical shape of the drums, their high center of gravity, and small contact surface make them prone to shaking during sudden starts and stops, turns, or on uneven or sloping roads. This can cause the upper drums to roll and fall, damaging materials and packaging, potentially injuring personnel, and disrupting the transport process, directly impacting operational safety and efficiency. This application provides a stabilizing device. By flipping or sliding the stabilizing component 1, the entire stack of iron drums is allowed to enter the receiving cavity 1a through the clearance opening 1b. After the entire stack of iron drums enters the receiving cavity 1a, the stabilizing component 1 and the push plate 8 limit the entire stack of iron drums on all four sides (front, back, left, and right), simultaneously fixing the entire layer of iron drums on the pallet 7 in the horizontal, vertical, and longitudinal directions, allowing for direct lifting and transport without additional binding.

[0025] Figures 1 to 4 A stabilizing device provided in this application embodiment is applied to a forklift. The forklift includes a vehicle body 6, a carrier plate 7, and a push plate 8. The carrier plate 7 is slidably disposed on the vehicle body 6 along the vertical direction, and the push plate 8 is movably disposed on the carrier plate 7 along the front-rear direction of the forklift. The stabilizing device includes a stabilizing component 1, which is movably connected to the push plate 8. The stabilizing component 1 has a receiving cavity 1a and a clearance opening 1b connecting the receiving cavity 1a to the outside. The clearance opening 1b is used to allow the items to be transported to enter the receiving cavity 1a.

[0026] In this embodiment, the stabilizing component 1 can be made of Q345B steel plate with a wall thickness of 3mm, which is welded into a cuboid frame. Alternatively, 30×30mm carbon steel square tubes can be welded into a hollow frame to reduce weight. The rear side of the frame is connected to the front end of the push plate 8 through two linear guide rails and slider 21 to form an upper and lower sliding pair. Alternatively, it can be connected to the side or top of the push plate 8 through a rotating shaft 4. The connection relationship between the stabilizing component 1 and the push plate 8 is determined according to the position of the clearance hole. The inner cavity of the frame is enlarged by 10-30mm according to the overall shape of the iron drum stack to form the receiving cavity 1a. After removing the bottom plate or side plate, the clearance opening 1b is formed. The inner side of the receiving cavity 1a can be glued with a continuous hollow nitrile rubber strip or sponge structure to prevent the stabilizing component 1 from bumping into the iron drums. During operation, the forklift driver first uses the forklift to move to the bottom of the drum stack, and then slides or rotates the stabilizing component 1 to the position of the drum stack until the drum stack is completely in the receiving cavity 1a. Then the forklift can be started to move. The drum stack enters the receiving cavity 1a through the clearance opening 1b. The stabilizing component 1 and the push plate 8 form a limit on the front, back, left and right sides of the iron drum stack, realizing the simultaneous fixation of the entire layer of iron drums on the carrier plate 7 in the horizontal, vertical and vertical directions. It can be lifted and transported directly without additional binding.

[0027] Because the stack of iron drums is completely encased in the frame of the stabilizing component 1, the inertial and centrifugal forces generated when the forklift starts, stops, turns, or passes over speed bumps are all absorbed by the side plates and rubber strips. The stack no longer slips or rolls between layers, and the risk of collapse is reduced to zero. The stabilizing component 1 is movably connected to the push plate 8. When unloading, simply rotate or move the stabilizing component 1, and the push plate 8 will extend forward to unload the entire stack in one go, with zero auxiliary labor time. The Q345B steel frame can withstand the humid environment of storage for a long time after being powder-coated or galvanized. The rubber strips can be quickly replaced. The whole set of equipment is lightweight and can be directly installed on the existing forklift push plate 8 without modifying the hydraulic and electrical control systems, which significantly improves versatility, safety, and operating efficiency.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 To facilitate the transportation of items of different widths, the stabilizing component 1 includes an adjusting member 11 and a main body 12. The adjusting member 11 is slidably connected to the main body 12, the receiving cavity 1a is located inside the main body 12, and the clearance opening 1b is located on one side wall of the main body 12.

[0029] In one embodiment, the main body 12 is made of aluminum alloy or channel steel welded into a rectangular frame with open top and sides; the adjusting member 11 is a side panel slightly smaller than the main body 12, and the adjusting member 11 has a corresponding groove or slider 21 and other structures to form a sliding pair with the opening in the width direction of the main body 12. Adjusting the horizontal position of the adjusting member 11 relative to the main body 12 changes the effective width of the receiving cavity 1a; the clearance opening 1b remains on the bottom wall or other side wall of the main body 12 for allowing the item to enter the receiving cavity 1a.

[0030] The width of the receiving cavity 1a can be infinitely changed by sliding the adjustment component 11 without replacing the entire stabilizing component 1. A single forklift can cover all conventional stack shapes in the warehouse. Both the adjustment component 11 and the main body 12 are made of 3mm Q235 steel plate bent and formed, with electrophoretic black paint on the surface, which ensures rigidity and prevents corrosion, and will not deform after long-term use. Because the width is adjustable, the rubber strip on the inner wall of the main body 12 always maintains a gap fit with the goods, and the inertial force is still absorbed by the side plate and rubber damping, effectively preventing the collapse of transported barrels and other items, significantly reducing spare parts costs and on-site management complexity.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 To facilitate quick adjustment of the width of the stabilizing component 1 by the user, the stabilizing device includes a sliding component 2. The sliding component 2 includes a slider 21 and a slide rail 22 that are slidably connected. The slide rail 22 is connected to the adjusting component 11, and the slider 21 is connected to the main body component 12.

[0032] In one embodiment of this application, the slide rail 22 is horizontally fixed to the back edge of the adjusting member 11 with countersunk screws, and the slider 21 is correspondingly installed on the side frame of the main body 12. When the adjusting member 11 is pushed or pulled, the slider 21 moves synchronously along the slide rail 22. After it is in place, the quick-release lever is rotated to lock the handle to position it. Width adjustment can be completed with one hand without tools. The slider 21 and slide rail 22 structure makes the sliding movement of the adjusting member 11 smooth and precise, avoiding bolt hole errors, so that iron drums or cartons of different widths are always stably clamped, further improving changeover efficiency and operational safety.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 In order to lock the adjusting member 11 at different positions of the main body 12, the sliding assembly 2 also includes a locking member 23. The slider 21 has a locking hole 21a, and the locking member 23 is screwed into the locking hole 21a to prevent the adjusting member 11 from sliding between the main body 12.

[0034] In this embodiment, the locking member 23 is a knurled hand-tightening bolt, the threaded end of which passes through the M8 locking hole 21a on the slider 21 and is perpendicularly pressed against the flat bottom surface of the slide rail 22; the slide rail 22 is welded to the adjusting member 11 as a whole, and the slider 21 is fixed to the side frame of the main body 12 by countersunk screws. When the adjusting member 11 is pushed or pulled to the required width, the hand-tightening bolt is tightened clockwise to instantly press the slider 21 and the slide rail 22 together, achieving stepless locking; it can be loosened by turning it in the opposite direction to slide again. No wrench is required throughout the process, and positioning can be completed in 10 seconds with one hand, which is suitable for stacks of iron drums or cardboard boxes of different widths.

[0035] The threaded locking mechanism utilizes the friction between the hand-tightened bolt and the slide rail 22 to prevent the adjusting component 11 from shifting slightly when the forklift starts or stops suddenly or on bumpy roads, ensuring a constant width of the receiving cavity 1a and that the rubber strip always fits the goods without degrading the limiting effect. The knurled head of the hand-tightened bolt increases the gripping force, allowing for quick operation even when wearing gloves. This avoids the frequent re-tightening caused by vibration-induced loosening of traditional wing bolts, truly achieving quick locking and releasing, balancing speed and reliability, and improving the continuous transfer efficiency of materials of various specifications.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 To enable the stabilizing component 1 to quickly limit and release the items to be transported, the main body 12 is rotatably connected to the end of the push plate 8 away from the carrier plate 7. The top end of the main body 12 near the push plate 8 is rotatably connected to the push plate 8 through a hole-shaft fit or a hinge structure, allowing the main body 12 to rotate within a range of 0-90° around this connection. When the push plate 8 extends to the bottom of the iron drum stack, the main body 12 is rotated so that the clearance opening 1b moves closer to the iron drum stack until the iron drum stack is completely inside the receiving cavity 1a. The push plate 8 and the stabilizing component 1 then limit the iron drum stack on all four sides. When unloading, the main body 12 is rotated again, and the push plate 8 is pushed forward to release the entire stack at once. No climbing or manual binding is required throughout the process, and it is compatible with stacking steel drums, plastic drums, and other items of different specifications. The flip-type hinge combines the steps of opening, stacking, and closing into one, saving a lot of time compared to the traditional sliding pallet solution. Due to the large flip angle, the clearance opening 1b completely avoids the front of the goods, so even if the goods are stacked slightly off-center, they can be smoothly inserted, reducing the positioning accuracy requirements of the forklift. Under high-frequency inbound and outbound conditions, it significantly improves clamping speed, reduces labor intensity, and completely eliminates the safety hazards caused by manual entry into the storage location.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 To facilitate the rotation of the main body 12, the stabilizing device includes a drive component 3, which drives the main body 12 to rotate so that the items to be transported can enter or leave the receiving cavity 1a. The drive component 3 is a self-resetting foot-operated hydraulic cylinder. The tail end of the cylinder is hinged to the side beam of the push plate 8, and the front end of the piston rod is connected to the middle of the back frame of the main body 12 through a ball joint. When the driver lightly presses the foot pedal, the piston rod retracts, pushing the main body 12 to rotate 90° around the upper hinge axis, fully opening the clearance opening 1b. After the forklift moves forward and puts the stack of iron drums into the receiving cavity 1a, the driver releases the pedal, and the piston rod extends and pushes the main body 12 back to the vertical locking state, thus completing the limit. When unloading, pressing the pedal again will rotate it again, realizing one-button opening and closing, and the entire process does not require one hand to leave the steering wheel. The foot-operated hydraulic drive replaces manual rotation with mechanical assistance, reducing the rotation time from 10 seconds to 3 seconds, completely eliminating the labor intensity of manual operation under heavy loads.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 Directly lifting the main body 12 via the drive component 3 may damage the main body 12 due to angle issues. The stabilizing device also includes a rotating shaft 4 and a transmission component 5. The transmission component 5 connects the output end of the drive component 3 and the main body 12. The rotating shaft 4 is connected to the push plate 8 and is rotatably connected to the main body 12.

[0039] In this embodiment, the main body 12 is rotatably connected to the push plate 8 around the rotating shaft 4, while the transmission component 5 is used to convert the thrust and pull of the drive component 3 into a force in the rotational direction of the main body 12. For example, when the piston rod extends, the transmission component 5 releases the main body 12, causing it to rotate around the rotating shaft 4 and allowing the stack of items to enter the receiving cavity 1a through the clearance opening 1b for positioning; when the piston rod retracts, the transmission component 5 swings in the opposite direction, and the main body 12 retracts to the front end of the push plate 8. The rotating shaft 4 bears all the bending moment, preventing the cylinder piston from being subjected to lateral force. The combination of the rotating shaft 4 and the transmission component 5 converts the linear thrust of the cylinder into a controllable rotational torque, making the rotation angle of the main body 12 precise and without jamming, completely eliminating the eccentric bending moment caused by direct lifting, and preventing weld tearing or frame deformation; the cylinder only bears pure axial force, doubling the life of the seals, reducing the risk of hydraulic oil leakage, and ensuring the long-term reliability of the stable device under high-frequency loading and unloading conditions.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 To further ensure that the stretching of the drive end of the drive member 3 can be converted into the rotational motion of the main body 12 through the movement of the transmission member 5, the transmission member 5 has a support section 51 and a lifting section 52. The support section 51 and the lifting section 52 are set at an angle. One end of the support section 51 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 4, and the other end of the support section 51 is connected to the lifting section 52. The two ends of the lifting section 52 are respectively connected to the output ends of the main body 12 and the drive member 3.

[0041] In one embodiment, the transmission component 5 is a bent structure formed by bending the same shaft, with a support section 51 and a lifting section 52 at both ends. The two can be at a 90° angle or other angles that are compatible with the main body 12 and the driving component 3. The end of the support section 51 has a keyway hole and is keyed to the rotating shaft 4 to form a rigid rotation fulcrum. The lower end of the lifting section 52 is hinged to the middle of the back frame of the main body 12 by a pin, and the upper end is hinged to the end of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod. When the piston rod retracts, the lifting section 52 is pulled upward around the rotating shaft 4, and the main body 12 is lifted synchronously and tilted backward 0–90° around the rotating shaft 4. The clearance opening 1b is fully opened. After the stack of barrels is horizontally inserted, the piston rod extends, the lifting section 52 swings in the opposite direction, and the main body 12 is locked to the front end of the push plate 8. The rotating shaft 4 bears the bending moment throughout the entire process, and the piston rod is only subjected to axial force.

[0042] The fixed included angle between the supporting section 51 and the lifting section 52 ensures a constant lever arm ratio, and a small stroke of the hydraulic cylinder can realize large-angle flipping of the main body member 12, avoiding "dead point" jamming; the 90° bending structure enables the transmission member 5 to have the function of lever force augmentation, the piston thrust is reduced by 30%, which reduces the requirement for the cylinder diameter of the oil cylinder while saving energy; the transmission member 5 is integrally formed without weld seams, which eliminates stress concentration, maintains no deformation after long-term use, significantly improves the flipping reliability and prolongs the service life of the driving member 3.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in order to facilitate the user's visual operation when driving the forklift, both the main body member 12 and the adjusting member 11 adopt hollow structures. For example, both the main body member 12 and the adjusting member 11 are welded by 20×20 mm carbon steel square tubes to form a "Japanese-shaped" hollow frame, the wall thickness of the square tube is 2 mm, the size of the empty space in the frame is adapted to the size of the loading plate 7 of the forklift, and continuous empty windows are reserved on both sides of the avoidance opening 1b and at the corresponding positions of the back frame; the forklift driver can directly see through the empty window whether the edge of the iron drum stack is aligned with the avoidance opening 1b from the driving position, without stretching out the head or getting off the vehicle to confirm again. Meanwhile, the hollow structure retains sufficient strength to withstand the extrusion of the drum stack, the hollow windows expand the driver's field of vision, shorten the clamping alignment time, and reduce the collisions of the drum stack and scratches on the shelves caused by blocked sight; the weight of the square tube frame is reduced, the loss of the rated lifting capacity of the forklift is smaller, which takes into account both energy saving and high efficiency. In addition, the orange warning paint has high recognizability in the storage environment, which further improves the operation safety under night or low-light working conditions.

[0044] In the second aspect, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present application provides a forklift, comprising a vehicle body 6, a loading plate 7, a push plate 8 and a stabilizing device, wherein the loading plate 7 is slidably arranged on the vehicle body 6 along the vertical direction; the push plate 8 is movably arranged on the loading plate 7 along the front-back direction of the forklift, and the stabilizing assembly 1 is movably connected with the push plate 8.

[0045] In this embodiment, the stabilizing device and the original loading plate 7 and push plate 8 of the forklift form a modular integration. The whole process of flipping-limiting-transportation-unloading is cooperatively completed by the driver from the driving position through the original multi-way valve handle and the newly added foot-operated valve. The loading and unloading efficiency per shift is improved, the risk of drum stack collapse is avoided, the weight of the stabilizing device is small, the lifting height and endurance of the forklift are not affected, and the high-compatibility safety upgrade of ready-to-use is realized.
