[0016] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The present invention will be further described below.

[0017] To address the problems existing in the background art, this application proposes the following technical solution: a multi-functional adjustable forklift, including an engineering vehicle 1, an articulated assembly, a drive assembly, an adjustment assembly, and a fork assembly 8; the articulated assembly is rotatably connected to the outside of the engineering vehicle 1, the drive assembly is fixed inside the engineering vehicle 1 and is drively connected to the articulated assembly, the adjustment assembly is hinged to the outside of the articulated assembly, and the fork assembly 8 is slidably connected to the outside of the adjustment assembly; the drive assembly is used to drive the articulated assembly to rotate, and the adjustment assembly is used to drive the fork assembly 8 to adjust its position and angle. The engineering vehicle 1 serves as the main load-bearing structure of the forklift, providing a stable mounting base for all functional components. Its mobility enables long-distance cargo transport, overcoming the limitations of traditional stationary forklifts that can only operate in a small area and expanding the operational coverage. The articulated assembly connects the engineering vehicle 1 to the adjustment assembly, allowing for horizontal angle adjustment of the forks 8 by rotation. Combined with the power output of the drive assembly, the direction in which the forks 8 are aligned with the cargo can be flexibly changed, eliminating the need for frequent adjustments to the position of the engineering vehicle 1. This is especially beneficial when operating in confined spaces, reducing the number of turns required for the engineering vehicle 1 and improving operational convenience. The adjustment component is hinged to the outside of the hinge assembly, further adjusting the vertical angle and position of the fork 8 assembly. This solves the problem of fixed fork 8 angles in traditional forklifts, which cannot adapt to tilted stacking of goods. It ensures the fork 8 fits snugly against the goods surface, improving load-bearing stability and preventing goods from slipping. The fork 8 assembly slides to the outside of the adjustment component, allowing its extension length to be adjusted according to the length of the goods, adapting to the handling needs of goods of different sizes. This eliminates the need to replace forks 8 with different specifications, reducing equipment replacement costs and operation time. The coordinated operation of all components significantly improves the forklift's adaptability to complex working conditions, addressing the pain points of traditional forklifts' limited adjustment functions and poor operational flexibility. In this embodiment, the hinge assembly includes a rotating shaft 3, a hinge frame 2, and a support frame 11; the rotating shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the outside of the engineering vehicle 1, the hinge frame 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 3, and the support frame 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the hinge frame 2; a support wheel 4 is also rotatably connected to the bottom of the engineering vehicle 1. As the core rotating component of the articulation assembly, the pivot 3 provides a stable axis for the rotation of the articulated frame 2 through its rotational connection with the engineering vehicle 1. This ensures that the articulated frame 2 does not deviate when it drives the support frame 11 to rotate, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of the angle adjustment of the fork 8 assembly. The articulated frame 2 is fixed to the outside of the pivot 3, serving to connect the pivot 3 and the support frame 11. Its structural design can be optimized for strength according to the stress requirements, preventing deformation when bearing heavy loads and ensuring that power can be stably transmitted to the support frame 11, thereby driving the adjustment assembly and the fork 8 assembly to adjust synchronously. In this embodiment, the support frame 11 is fixed to the outside of the hinge frame 2, providing installation support for the adjustment component and bearing the weight of the adjustment component and the fork 8 assembly, as well as the pressure of the goods. Its stable structure can prevent shaking during the adjustment process and ensure operational safety. The support wheels 4 at the bottom of the engineering vehicle 1 facilitate the overall movement of the forklift. The support wheels 4 rotate flexibly, enabling the engineering vehicle 1 to turn and travel in a straight line. Combined with the angle adjustment of the hinge component, the forklift can move flexibly in narrow spaces without large-radius turning, improving its adaptability to operation in compact environments such as warehouses and workshops, and solving the space limitation problem caused by the inflexible turning of traditional forklifts. In this embodiment, the drive assembly includes a drive motor, which is fixedly connected inside the engineering vehicle 1. The output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 3. When the drive motor starts, it drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate around the engineering vehicle 1, and then drives the support frame 11 to rotate synchronously through the hinge frame 2. The drive motor can also be replaced by other drive mechanisms. The drive motor is fixed inside the engineering vehicle 1, which avoids damage to the motor from external dust and collisions, extending its service life. It also allows the motor to integrate with the overall structure of the engineering vehicle 1, reducing the space occupied by the equipment. The motor output is directly and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 3, resulting in high transmission efficiency. This directly converts the motor's rotational power into the rotation of the shaft 3, avoiding energy loss in intermediate transmission components. This ensures that the articulated assembly can quickly respond to the motor drive, enabling rapid adjustment of the fork 8 assembly angle and improving operational efficiency. In this embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder 5, an adjustment frame 6, and a hinge seat 10. The hydraulic cylinder 5 is hinged to the outside of the support frame 11, and the hinge seat 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the adjustment frame 6. The adjustment frame 6 is rotatably connected to the hinge seat 10 via a pin 9, and the pin 9 is also rotatably connected to the support frame 11. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 5 is hinged to the adjustment frame 6. The outer side wall of the adjustment frame 6 is provided with a slide rail, and the inner side wall of the sliding frame 7 is fixedly provided with a slider, which is slidably connected to the inside of the slide rail. Hydraulic cylinder 5, serving as the power source for the adjustment assembly, is hinged to the outside of support frame 11. Its hinged structure allows for adaptive angle adjustment when pushing the adjustment frame 6, preventing component damage caused by rigid connections. Simultaneously, it ensures that the thrust of hydraulic cylinder 5 can stably act on the adjustment frame 6, enabling angle changes. Through the extension and retraction of hydraulic cylinder 5, the rotation amplitude of the adjustment frame 6 can be precisely controlled, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the fork 8 assembly to accommodate tilted goods. For example, when goods are placed at an angle, hydraulic cylinder 5 pushes the adjustment frame 6 to tilt the fork 8, making it fit against the surface of the goods, improving the load-bearing stability of the goods and preventing them from slipping during handling. The hinge seat 10 is fixed to the outside of the adjusting frame 6, and works with the pin 9 to achieve a rotatable connection between the adjusting frame 6 and the support frame 11. The pin 9 rotates simultaneously with the support frame 11, ensuring that the pivot point is stable during the rotation of the adjusting frame 6 and that there is no offset, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of angle adjustment. The slide rail on the outer wall of the adjusting frame 6 cooperates with the slider of the sliding frame 7 to provide guidance for the sliding of the fork 8 assembly. The sliding connection between the slide rail and the slider has low frictional resistance, allowing the fork 8 assembly to extend or retract smoothly, while ensuring that the fork 8 does not wobble during the sliding process, improving the stability of cargo handling. This sliding structure can also bear the weight of the cargo, preventing the sliding frame 7 from jamming when under load, ensuring smooth operation, and solving the problems of poor extension and retraction and instability of traditional fork 8. In this embodiment, the fork 8 assembly includes a sliding frame 7 and a fork 8; the sliding frame 7 is slidably connected to the outside of the adjusting frame 6, and the fork 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding frame 7; a driving component is provided inside the sliding frame 7, which is used to drive the sliding frame 7 to slide along the length direction of the adjusting frame 6, thereby driving the fork 8 to adjust its extension length. The sliding frame 7 is slidably connected to the outside of the adjusting frame 6, serving as the mounting carrier for the fork 8. Its structural design can withstand the weight of the fork 8 and the cargo, preventing deformation during sliding and ensuring the stability of the fork 8. The fork 8 is fixed to the outside of the sliding frame 7 and comes into direct contact with the cargo. Its structure can be optimized according to the type of cargo (such as adding anti-slip textures) to increase friction with the cargo and prevent it from slipping. At the same time, the fixed connection method of the fork 8 ensures that it will not separate from the sliding frame 7 during handling, ensuring operational safety. The drive unit inside the sliding frame 7 provides power for the extension and retraction of the forks 8, eliminating the need for manual pulling of the forks 8 and achieving automated adjustment of the fork extension length, thus reducing labor intensity. The drive unit can precisely control the sliding distance of the sliding frame 7 according to the length of the goods. For example, when handling long goods, the drive unit pushes the sliding frame 7 to extend the forks 8 significantly, ensuring that both ends of the goods can be supported by the forks 8; when handling short goods, the forks 8 only need to extend slightly, avoiding the decrease in stability caused by excessive extension of the forks 8. This adjustable length design allows the forklift to adapt to the handling needs of goods of different sizes without the need to replace the forks 8, improving the versatility of the equipment and solving the problem of fixed fork length and poor adaptability of traditional forklifts. In this embodiment, the driving component is a hydraulic rod or a cylinder, which is fixedly connected in the adjusting frame 6, and the output end of the driving component is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 7. The drive mechanism is either a hydraulic rod or a pneumatic cylinder, both of which offer high output force and smooth operation, ensuring stable sliding of the sliding frame 7 along the adjusting frame 6. Even when carrying heavy loads, the sliding process remains smooth and free from jamming. The hydraulic rod or pneumatic cylinder is fixed within the adjusting frame 6, with a concealed installation location that prevents damage to the drive mechanism from external collisions. This also reduces the overall space occupied by the equipment, making the forklift structure more compact. The output end of the drive unit is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 7, enabling direct transmission of driving force to the sliding frame 7. This high transmission efficiency ensures that the sliding frame 7 can quickly respond to the extension and retraction of the drive unit, allowing for rapid adjustment of the fork extension or retraction, thus improving operational efficiency. The hydraulic rod or cylinder offers high control precision, allowing for precise control of the sliding speed and extension length by adjusting the hydraulic or pneumatic pressure. For example, the sliding speed can be reduced when approaching the goods to prevent the fork 8 from colliding with them and causing damage; the speed can be controlled when retracting the fork 8 to ensure smooth movement of the goods. The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: Check whether the support wheels 4 of the engineering vehicle 1 are flexible, and whether the hydraulic cylinder 5, drive motor and sub-drive components are operating normally; according to the size of the goods and the stacking position, plan the adjustment direction and extension length of the forks 8 to ensure that the engineering vehicle 1 is parked in a stable area on the side of the goods.

[0018] Start the drive motor, which drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate. Through the hinge frame 2 and the support frame 11, the adjusting frame 6 and the fork 8 are adjusted to adjust the horizontal angle so that the fork 8 is aligned with the bottom of the goods. If the goods are stacked at an angle, start the hydraulic cylinder 5. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 5 pushes the adjusting frame 6 to rotate around the pin 9, adjusting the fork 8 to the tilt angle that fits with the goods.

[0019] Activate the drive mechanism inside the sliding frame 7 to make the sliding frame 7 slide along the slide rail of the adjusting frame 6, and the fork 8 extends and inserts into the bottom of the cargo simultaneously; after confirming that the fork 8 is fully loaded with the cargo, activate the drive mechanism in reverse to retract the sliding frame 7 to a safe position to prevent the cargo from exceeding the carrying capacity of the engineering vehicle 1.

[0020] Operate the engineering vehicle 1 and move it to the target position via the support wheels 4; restart the drive motor and hydraulic cylinder 5, adjust the angle and height of the forks 8 to ensure the goods are accurately aligned with the stacking point; start the drive unit, push the sliding frame 7 to extend the forks 8, place the goods stably, retract the forks 8 and reset the adjustment components.

[0021] Reset the adjustment components and fork 8 components to their initial state, turn off the drive motor, hydraulic cylinder 5 and drive components; check whether any parts are loose or damaged, clean the debris from the surface of the fork 8, park the engineering vehicle 1 in the designated area, and complete the operation.
