Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a forklift fork, and more specifically, to a forklift fork capable of preventing an article from slipping. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, a forklift has forks (feet) capable of loading goods, and uses them to transport goods for loading or unloading.

[0003] That is, a pair of forks are installed at the front of the forklift so that they can be raised and lowered by a lift unit. The forks are structured so that two of them protrude forward by a predetermined length, allowing them to support and lift the bottom of a pallet of a certain size on which goods are loaded and transport them.

[0004] In addition, roller-shaped coils or panels can be transported directly without using pallets.

[0005] In addition, objects can be moved by pushing them with the tip of the fork, and objects that are difficult to lift by supporting them can be moved using a tow rope, etc., and the tow rope, etc. can be tied to or hooked onto the fork to move them.

[0006] Such technology related to forklift forks has been proposed in Korean Patent Publication No. 1997-0042244.

[0017] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings so that those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains can easily implement it. However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Throughout the specification, similar parts are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a forklift to which the forklift fork of the present invention is applied, FIG. 2 to 4 are side views, exploded perspective views, and side views showing the forklift fork of the present invention according to different embodiments, FIG. 5 is a side cross-sectional view showing another embodiment of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 and 7 are side views and plan views showing the forklift fork of the present invention according to different embodiments.

[0019] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, a forklift fork (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a fork body part (110) and a locking part (120a, 120b, 120c, 120d, 120e), and functions to lift and transport a moving object (1) to be moved while supporting it, while being spaced apart on both sides of the front of the forklift (10).

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the fork body (110) has a side shape formed by bending and is composed of a vertical part and a horizontal part, the vertical part is a part supported by the forklift (10), and the horizontal part is a part provided to support the moving object (1).

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the catch portion (120a) is provided so as to protrude from the front end of the horizontal portion of the fork body portion (110) to prevent the moving object (1) from slipping, and is provided as a protruding structure integrally formed on the front end of the fork body portion (110).

[0022] Here, the catch portion (120a) is exemplified as being protruding from the front end of the horizontal portion of the fork body portion (110), but can be provided at the center of the horizontal portion of the fork body portion (110) [see FIG. 1(b)].

[0023] Furthermore, the catch portion (120a) may be provided in a divided form in addition to the integral form as shown in FIG. 2, or provided on either the central side or both sides.

[0024] At this time, although not shown in the drawing, the catch portion (120a) is provided with a rounded or chamfered edge structure so as not to get caught when moving in the direction of the object to be moved (1) and so as not to detach the object to be moved (1) when supporting the object to be moved (1). Alternatively, although not shown in the drawing, the catch portion (120a) may have a protrusion formed on its upper surface to reduce the contact area with the bottom surface of the object to be moved (1).

[0025] In addition, the locking part (120b) of another embodiment is provided with a bolt structure having a spiral hole (112) formed at the center of the tip of the fork body part (110) as shown in FIG. 3, and a spiral shaft formed to be fastened to the spiral hole (112). In this case, the locking part (120b) is detachably attached to the spiral hole (112) of the fork body part (110), and the object to be moved (1) is not detached by the head part. In addition, the locking part (120b) can be provided at the center of the horizontal part of the fork body part (110).

[0026] In another embodiment, the locking part (120c) is provided with a pin structure that is connected to each hole (114) formed on both sides of the tip of the fork body part (110) as shown in FIG. 4. In this case as well, the locking part (120c) can be detachably attached to the hole (114) of the fork body part (110). Additionally, the locking part (120c) can be provided at the center of the horizontal part of the fork body part (110).

[0027] Meanwhile, it is preferable that the catch portion (120c) be provided with a structure having a pointed top.

[0028] Furthermore, although not shown in the drawing, the locking part (120c) can also be screw-fastened to the hole (114) of the fork body part (110), which is equipped with a spiral structure and has a spiral formed at the bottom.

[0029] And when the locking part (120c) is coupled to the hole (114) of the fork body part (110) as shown in FIG. 5, a one-touch method can be applied, and for this purpose, a hemispherical groove (G) is formed along the lower edge of the outer surface.

[0030] In this way, a groove (1142) is formed that is connected in an orthogonal direction to a hole (114) formed in the fork body (110), and a sphere (1142) and an elastic body (1144) are provided within the groove (1142). When the catch portion (120c) is inserted, the lower end of the catch portion (120c) retracts the sphere (1142), but when the groove (G) of the catch portion (120c) reaches a position adjacent to the sphere (1142), the sphere (1142) is advanced by the elastic force of the elastic body (1144) and secured to the groove (G) of the catch portion (120c), thereby securing the catch portion (120c) to the hole (114) of the fork body (110).

[0031] In another embodiment, the catch portion (120d) is provided in a structure that protrudes in a line by welding to the tip of the fork body portion (110) as shown in FIG. 6. Additionally, the catch portion (120d) can be provided at the center of the horizontal portion of the fork body portion (110).

[0032] In addition, the locking part (120e) of another embodiment is provided with a groove structure formed in a "V" shape on both sides of the front end of the fork body part (110) as shown in FIG. 7 to prevent the moving object (1) from coming off. Furthermore, the locking part (120e) can be provided at the center of the horizontal part of the fork body part (110).

[0033] The forklift fork (100) according to the present invention prevents the moving object (1) from coming off by engaging the catch (120a, 120b, 120c, 120d, 120e) protruding from the tip of the fork body (110) when the moving object (1) is lifted and moved and then lowered.

[0034] This is so that the catch portion (120a) is provided as a protruding structure at the tip of the horizontal portion of the fork body portion (110) to catch the moving object (1) so that it does not slide.

[0035] And the catch portion (120b) is provided with a bolt structure that is spirally fastened to a spiral hole (112) formed at the center of the tip of the fork body portion (110) so as to catch the moving object (1) so that it does not slide.

[0036] In addition, the catch portion (120c) is provided as a pin structure coupled to holes (114) formed on both sides of the tip of the fork body portion (110) so as to catch the moving object (1) so as not to slide.

[0037] The configurations included in the various embodiments described above may also be implemented in various other possible modified combinations not exemplarily described above, provided that such combinations are not clearly excluded from one another in terms of implementation.
