Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics transportation equipment technology, specifically to a towing forklift suitable for narrow spaces. Background Technology
[0002] In warehousing and logistics, and workshop transfer scenarios, towed forklifts are widely used for short-distance goods handling due to their high mobility and stable load-bearing capacity. However, when the operating environment is a narrow space (such as narrow aisles, dense racking aisles, small warehouses, etc.), existing towed forklifts have obvious operational limitations.
[0003] Traditional towed forklifts rely on operators positioning and adjusting goods from both sides of the forklift to ensure balanced transport. However, in confined spaces, the aisle width is often only slightly wider than the forklift itself, making it difficult for operators to access the work area from the sides and maneuver goods at close range. Forcing adjustments from the front or rear of the forklift not only limits the operator's field of vision and increases the risk of uneven loading and unloading, but also significantly prolongs loading and unloading time and reduces operational efficiency. Therefore, we propose a towed forklift suitable for confined spaces to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution: A towing forklift suitable for use in narrow spaces, comprising: The guide blocks are in the form of two L-shapes and are arranged opposite each other. A limiting plate is fixed between the upper sides of the ends of the two guide blocks. Bullseye wheels are evenly distributed on the top of the bottom plate of the guide blocks, and rollers are installed at the two outer corners of the guide blocks. An U-shaped plate is connected between the bottom sides of the ends of the two guide blocks, and a triangular traction frame is provided at the end of one of the U-shaped plates away from the guide blocks; A support plate is movably disposed between the two guide blocks, and the support plate is placed on top of the bullseye wheel; A driving component is disposed between two U-shaped plates, and the driving component is used to drive the support plate to move from one side of the guide block to the other side.
[0005] Furthermore, the driving component includes pulleys rotatably connected between the inner sidewalls of the U-shaped plate, a transmission belt connecting the two pulleys, and a connecting block between the bottom of the bearing plate and the belt body of the transmission belt.
[0006] Furthermore, a knob is connected to the shaft of one of the pulleys through the U-shaped plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the inner wall of the side plate of the guide block is constructed with an arc-shaped groove, and the two sides of the bearing plate are movably embedded with balls at equal intervals, the balls being slidably embedded in the arc-shaped groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the triangular traction frame is hinged to the end of the U-shaped plate, and an ear plate is provided at the end of the triangular traction frame away from the U-shaped plate.
[0009] Furthermore, T-shaped plates are hinged to the middle of both sides of the bearing plate, and a rectangular notch is constructed in the middle of the limiting plate.
[0010] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad is provided on the top of the support plate.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention enables operators to control the movement and alignment of the load-bearing plate from the end of the forklift by cooperating with the drive component and the load-bearing plate. The drive component adopts a combination structure of pulley and transmission belt, which is simple and reliable and does not require a complex electrical control system. Operators do not need to enter the narrow areas on both sides of the forklift and can complete the loading and alignment operations at the end. This completely solves the problem that traditional towing forklifts cannot operate on both sides in narrow spaces (such as narrow aisles and dense racking aisles), thus expanding the applicable scenarios of towing forklifts.

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0015] This application provides a towing forklift suitable for narrow spaces, primarily addressing the problem that in existing technologies for narrow spaces, where the aisle width is typically only slightly wider than the forklift itself, it is difficult for workers to enter the work area from both sides, making it impossible to closely align goods. Forcibly adjusting from the front or rear of the forklift not only limits the operating view and easily leads to uneven loading of goods, increasing the risk of goods tipping over during transport, but also significantly prolongs loading and unloading time and reduces operational efficiency. The application provides the following technical solution, which will be discussed in conjunction with... Figures 1-4 Please provide a detailed explanation: A towing forklift suitable for use in confined spaces, comprising: There are two guide blocks 1. The guide blocks 1 are L-shaped and are arranged opposite each other. A limiting plate 2 is fixed between the upper sides of the ends of the two guide blocks 1. Bullseye wheels 102 are evenly distributed on the top of the bottom plate of the guide block 1. Rollers 3 are installed at the two outer corners of the guide block 1. An inverted plate 4 is connected between the bottom sides of the ends of the two guide blocks 1, and a triangular traction frame 5 is provided at the end of one of the inverted plates 4 away from the guide block 1; A support plate 6 is movably disposed between the two guide blocks 1, and the support plate 6 is placed on top of the bullseye wheel 102; A driving component 7 is disposed between two U-shaped plates 4. The driving component 7 is used to drive the support plate 6 from one side of the guide block 1 to the other side. The driving component 7 includes a pulley 701 rotatably connected between the inner sidewalls of the U-shaped plates 4. A transmission belt 702 is connected between the two pulleys 701. A connecting block 703 is disposed between the bottom of the support plate 6 and the belt body of the transmission belt 702.
[0016] Workflow Description The first step, cargo loading stage: Park the tow truck in the designated position in the narrow space operation area, and ensure that the triangular tow frame 5 is in standby state connected to the external towing equipment. At this time, the initial position of the load-bearing plate 6 is set on the side away from the triangular tow frame 5. The staff stands at the end away from the triangular tow frame 5 to carry out the cargo transfer operation, and transfer the cargo to the top of the load-bearing plate 6 by lifting equipment (such as a small hydraulic lifting platform) or by manpower.
[0017] The second step, the shifting stage of the bearing plate 6: After the goods are loaded, rotate one of the pulleys 701 through the knob connected to the U-shaped plate 4. The knob drives the pulley 701 to rotate, and the pulley 701 drives the transmission belt 702 to run. Since the bottom of the bearing plate 6 is connected to the belt body of the transmission belt 702 through the connecting block 703, the movement of the transmission belt 702 will cause the bearing plate 6 to slide on the top of the bullseye wheel 102 of the guide block 1 until the bearing plate 6 is moved to the other side of the guide block 1. (When placing the goods, try to ensure that the center of gravity of the goods is located in the middle of the guide block 1 at this time.)
[0018] The third step, the traction and transportation stage: connect the external traction equipment to the triangular traction frame 5, then start the traction equipment, and drive the entire forklift device to move in the narrow space through the triangular traction frame 5. The rollers 3 at the outer corners of the guide block 1 can assist the device in turning and moving, reducing the difficulty of operation in the narrow space. After reaching the destination, turn the knob in the opposite direction, and drive the load plate 6 back to the initial loading position through the transmission belt 702. Then, the staff unloads the goods at the end by lifting equipment or manually, completing a complete handling operation.
[0019] This device, through the cooperation of the drive unit 7 and the load-bearing plate 6, enables the operator to control the movement and positioning of the load-bearing plate 6 at the end of the forklift. The drive unit 7 adopts a combination structure of pulley 701 and transmission belt 702, which is simple and reliable. It does not require a complex electrical control system. The operator does not need to enter the narrow areas on both sides of the forklift and can complete the loading and positioning operations at the end. It completely solves the problem that traditional towing forklifts cannot operate on both sides in narrow spaces (such as narrow aisles and dense racking aisles), and expands the applicable scenarios of towing forklifts.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a knob is connected to one of the pulleys 701 via a shaft passing through the U-shaped plate 4. More specifically, the knob connected to the pulley 701 via the U-shaped plate 4 is a manual control component that drives the movement of the support plate 6. When the operator rotates the knob, it directly drives the connected pulley 701 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission belt 702 to run. Through the connecting block 703, the support plate 6 slides on the bullseye wheel 102, achieving cargo alignment. This design eliminates the need for an electrical control system, making end-operation in narrow spaces more convenient, and balancing structural simplicity with operational practicality.
[0021] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the side plate of the guide block 1 is constructed with an arc-shaped groove 101, and ball bearings 603 are movably embedded at equal intervals on both sides of the support plate 6. The ball bearings 603 are slidably embedded in the arc-shaped groove 101. More specifically, the arc-shaped groove 101 on the inner wall of the side plate of the guide block 1 cooperates with the ball bearings 603 on both sides of the support plate 6 to form a guide and limiting structure. The ball bearings 603 are slidably embedded in the arc-shaped groove 101, which not only precisely constrains the movement direction of the support plate 6 to prevent deviation and shaking, but also converts the sliding friction between the support plate 6 and the guide block 1 into rolling friction, further reducing the movement resistance and helping the support plate 6 to move smoothly.
[0022] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the triangular traction frame 5 is hinged to the end of the U-shaped plate 4. The end of the triangular traction frame 5 away from the U-shaped plate 4 is provided with an ear plate 501. More specifically, the triangular traction frame 5 is hinged to the end of the U-shaped plate 4 and can rotate flexibly around the hinge point to adapt to different traction direction requirements in narrow spaces. The ear plate 501 at the end away from the U-shaped plate 4 facilitates quick connection with various external traction equipment and enhances the versatility of the device.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, T-shaped plates 601 are hinged to the middle of both sides of the support plate 6, and a rectangular notch 201 is constructed in the middle of the limiting plate 2. More specifically, when the support plate 6 approaches the limiting plates 2 at both ends of the guide block 1, rotating the T-shaped plates 601 to fit into the notch can directly prevent the support plate 6 from moving. This design achieves stable locking of the support plate 6 at key positions such as loading and alignment completion. It is simple to operate, requires no additional locking components, ensures the stability of the support plate 6 at all stages of operation, and improves safety.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, an anti-slip pad 602 is provided on the top of the support plate 6. More specifically, the anti-slip pad 602 on the top of the support plate 6 increases the friction between the goods and the support plate 6, effectively reducing the risk of slippage of the goods during loading, moving, and transportation. It requires no additional operation; through its physical anti-slip design, combined with the locking structure of the support plate 6, it further enhances the stability of the goods, reduces the risk of tipping over during transportation, and provides a basic guarantee for the safety of the goods.
[0025] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
