Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention is attached to a forklift vehicle so that the lifting force of the fork can crush empty cans or other objects to be compressed. Regarding can press machines.

(Journey's technology) Piles of empty 1-ton cans occupy a large amount of vacant land, obstructing the transportation of old iron scraps. To solve this problem, a press was needed. Ta.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) This invention does not require a press machine, and makes it possible to efficiently crush empty cans by applying a forklift truck operating at the site.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The outline of the present invention that achieves the above object is as follows: Left and right sliding frames slidably engaged directly or indirectly with a pair of fork horizontal parts of a forklift vehicle; A pressure plate was fixed on the left and right moving frame so as to stand facing the lift vehicle mast, and a pressure plate was temporarily fixed to the fork so as to stand opposite the pressure plate on the front of the vertical part of the pair of forks. One pressure plate, pulleys attached to the left and right sides of the pressure plate, one end of which is fastened to each of the outer edges of the pressure plate or sliding frame, and the other end is temporarily fixed to the bottom of the mast via the pulley. When the fork is at the bottom of the mast, an empty can is inserted between the pressure plate and the pressure receiving plate, and when the fork is raised, the wire rope or chain pulls the pressure plate. This is an empty can press machine exclusively for lift trucks, which is characterized by crushing empty cans between both slopes.

(Function) The empty can press machine of the present invention is attached to a forklift truck that is doing normal work at any time, crushes empty cans as much as necessary, and when finished, is removed and used as a lift truck again for normal work. be able to.

The components of the present invention include a pressure plate fixed to the left and right sliding frames, a pressure receiving plate with a pulley attached thereto, and wire ropes or chains (hereinafter referred to as wires) on both sides. When slidingly engaging the left and right tank movement frame on the lower surface of the pressurized slope with a pair of forks of a lift vehicle, if the fork is of a shape suitable for sliding, it should be directly engaged; otherwise, the fork should be fitted with a sheath. , and the sliding frame is engaged with the sheath to enable sliding. The pressure plate now stands on the fork, and the pressure receiving plate is fixed to the vertical part of the fork so as to face it.

The fixing method is to fix to the horizontal or vertical part of the fork by any method. If the fork is sheathed, it may be fixed to the sheath. The pulleys attached to both the left and right sides of the pressure-receiving plate may be replaced by cylindrical curved plates.

You can fasten both ends of the wire in any way you like, but it should be temporarily fixed to the bottom of the mast so that it can be easily removed, such as hooking or screwing.

The length of the wire is also important.

The fork is lowered to the bottom of the mast, and a plurality of empty cans are usually placed side by side on the fork between the pressure plate and the pressure receiving plate, and the length is such that the wire does not slacken much. As a result, when the fork is raised, the wire pulls the pressure plate by the amount of the rise, crushing the empty can. However, even if there is some slack at first, you do not need to think too hard about the length of the wire, as you can just increase the amount of lift of the fork by that amount. Alternatively, create several locations along the length of the wire to engage the pins and hooks, press the pressure plate against these locations depending on the number of empty cans and the dimensions of the object to be compressed, and select the appropriate engagement locations. It may be kept on the pressure plate side. (
Embodiment) FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention mounted on a forklift vehicle.

The state in which it has been removed from the wrist car is shown in Figure 2 and below. 1 is the mast of the wrist car, 2 is a fork, 3 is a sheath body placed over the fork, and 4 is a pressure receiving plate which is a pressed rock member of the present invention, and in this example, it is temporarily fixed to the fork 2 via the sheath body 3. ing.

1 of 4 is a pulley attached to the pressure receiving plate 4, and 2 of 4 is its shaft.

5 is a pressure plate of the press machine of the present invention, and 1 of 5 is a shaft for attaching a wire tip to this plate.

5 is a sliding frame firmly fixed under the pressure plate 5 in the form of legs, which in this example slides along the fork via the sheath body 3.

6 is a wire, 7 is a magnet plate that is attracted to the mast 1 so as to hold the hook 8 at the end thereof hung on the lower end of the mast 1, and 9 is an empty can.

The structure of each part is clearly shown in Figures 2 to 4, but in this embodiment, a sheath body 3 that fits loosely around the outer circumference of the fork 2 is used so that it can be attached even if the fork 2 is different, and a pressure receiving plate is attached to the end of the sheath body 3. 4 is fixed, and 2 of the sliding frame 5 on the pressure plate side is slidably engaged with the sheath body 3.

That is, the pressure receiving plate 4 is fixed to the fork 2 with the sheath body 3 attached as its legs. 1 of the shaft 5 is attached to both outer edges of the pressure plate 5, and the ends of the wires 6 are hung thereon and fastened.

Although the wire 6 is wound once around the pulley 4 in the middle, it may simply be wrapped around the pulley 4. The method of temporarily fixing the wire end of the wire 6 to the lower part of the mast 1 is unique to this embodiment. A magnetic plate 7 is attached to the wire end slightly above the hook 8, which is attracted to the mast 1, and then the hook is hung on the lower end of the mast. So that 8 does not come off,
The wire 6 is held. One embodiment has been described above, but if the transverse movement frame can be slidably engaged without covering the fork, the pressure receiving plate will be temporarily fixed directly to the fork base without a sheath. The wire ends can be fastened in any manner, and the magnet plate 7 may be omitted. One end of the wire may be fastened to the sliding frame underneath instead of the pressure plate. It is also a good idea to make the facing surfaces of the pressure plate and the pressure receiving plate rough so that empty cans can slide easily. Although this invention was developed as a press machine for empty cans, it is of course possible to apply this invention to compressed objects other than empty cans, and in that case, a design change to the above-mentioned embodiment is sufficient. (Effects of the Invention) The present invention has provided a simple empty can press machine exclusively for forklift trucks that can be easily attached to and detached from a normal forklift truck and can be transformed into an empty can press machine at any time.

By using the horizontal parts of a pair of forks in a forklift vehicle as a sliding rail for the pressure plate and as an empty can holding material, and by placing a pressure receiving plate in front of the vertical part of the fork, the fork can be used most effectively to compress empty cans. It was made into a structure. Then, the driving force for the clamping structure is applied to the strong fork pushing force of the lift truck, and one end of the wire is fixed to the bottom of the mast, and as the fork rises, the other end of the wire pulls the pressure plate and clamps the empty can. It was made into a structure.

Therefore, the compression stroke is equal to the amount of rise of the fork, so even large objects can be compressed sufficiently even if the length of the fork is the same.
Just put the small can into a larger empty can and crush it all together.
The practical convenience of converting a forklift truck into an empty can press machine at any time needs no explanation.
