DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] Technical solutions according to embodiments of the present invention are clearly
and completely described hereinafter in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments
according to the present invention
[0023] A core of the present invention is to provide a reach forklift truck chassis, which
improves the operation safety of reach forklift truck. Another core of the present
invention is to provide a reach forklift truck including the aforementioned reach
forklift truck chassis, the operation safety of which is improved.
[0024] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation
or positional relationships indicated by terms "up", "down", "left", "right" and the
like are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings,
and are merely for the convenience of describing the present invention and the simplification
of the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred
to must be in a particular orientation, or be constructed and operated in a particular
orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limit to the scope of the
present invention, as defined by the appended claims. In addition, the terms "first",
"second" and the like are for purpose of description, and should not be interpreted
as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0025] In an embodiment, the reach forklift truck chassis according to the present invention
referring to Figures 1 to 8, includes a drive wheel bracket 4, an auxiliary wheel
bracket 9, a drive wheel 2 connected below the drive wheel bracket 4 and an auxiliary
wheel 10 connected below the auxiliary wheel bracket 9. The reach forklift truck chassis
can be specifically used in a standing-drive reach forklift truck.
[0026] A drive wheel compression spring 1 is connected to the upper side of the drive wheel
bracket 4. In the reach forklift truck, the upper end of the drive wheel compression
spring 1 is connected to the vehicle body 30. The drive wheel is used to absorb shock
between the vehicle body 30 and the drive wheel 2. After compression deformation,
the drive wheel compression spring 1 presses the vehicle body 30 up and presses down
the drive wheel bracket 4.
[0027] The middle part of the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 is hinged to the first rotary shaft
15. In the reach forklift truck, the first rotary shaft 15 is connected to the vehicle
body 30, and the vehicle body 30 can radially position the first rotary shaft 15 and
is usually fixedly connected. A locking device is provided at the first end of the
auxiliary wheel bracket 9 (the right end of the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 in the orientation
shown in Figure 2). The locking device is used to control the first rotary shaft 15
to be rigidly or rotationally connected to the auxiliary wheel bracket 9. In the locked
state of the locking device, the locking device limits the auxiliary wheel bracket
9, so that the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 cannot rotate relative to the first rotary
shaft 15, thereby achieving a rigid connection between the auxiliary wheel bracket
9 and the vehicle body 30. In the unlocked state of the locking device, the locking
device does not restrict the auxiliary wheel bracket 9, and the auxiliary wheel bracket
can rotate relative to the first rotary shaft 15, thereby achieving the elastic connection
of the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 and the vehicle body 30. An auxiliary wheel compression
spring 5 is connected between the second end of the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 (the
left end of the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 in the orientation shown in Figure 2) and
the drive wheel bracket 4, so that the drive wheel 2 and auxiliary wheel 10 are connected
in association. After compression deformation, the auxiliary wheel compression spring
5 presses the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 up and presses down the drive wheel bracket
4. The auxiliary wheel compression spring 5 can absorb shock between the auxiliary
wheel 10 and the vehicle body 30 and between the drive wheel 2 and the vehicle body
30. The suspension system of the chassis includes the auxiliary wheel compression
spring 5 and the drive wheel compression spring 1.
[0028] The input end of the locking device is electrically connected to the output end of
the controller 20, and the controller 20 can control the operating parameters such
as the opening and closing of the locking device. The locking device enters a locking
state after being started and enters an unlocking state after being closed.
[0029] For the standing-drive reach forklift truck using the reach forklift truck chassis
provided in this embodiment, when the vehicle is hydraulically operated (e.g., lifting,
lowering, moving forward and backward, tilting, etc.), the impact is large. If the
locking device is in the unlocked state, the whole vehicle shakes obviously, wherein,
the auxiliary wheel 10 always touches the ground, the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 rotates
relative to the first rotary shaft 15, and the downward pressure of the auxiliary
wheel compression spring 5 on the drive wheel bracket 4 is greatly affected by the
shaking of the auxiliary wheel bracket 9. If the locking device is locked, the auxiliary
wheel bracket 9 will not shake relative to the first rotary shaft 15 and the vehicle
body 30, and the top end of the auxiliary wheel compression spring 5 is fixed relative
to the vehicle body 30, and can be completely used to absorb shock between the vehicle
body 30 and the drive wheel 2. When the pressure of the vehicle body 30 on the drive
wheel bracket 4 is the same, compared with the unlocked state, the auxiliary wheel
compression spring 5 can more stably share a part of the load of the drive wheel compression
spring 1 when the locking device is locked, so that the floating range of the drive
wheel compression spring 1 can be reduced, and the shaking degree and shaking times
of the vehicle body 30 can be reduced.
[0030] In addition, when the vehicle turns, the vehicle will tilt to one side due to centrifugal
force. Taking the turning of the vehicle with the auxiliary wheel 10 inside and the
drive wheel 2 outside as an example, that is, turning right in the orientation shown
in Figure 2, the load on the side of the auxiliary wheel 10 gradually decreases, the
load on the side of the drive wheel 2 gradually increases, and the vehicle body 30
rotates counterclockwise. When the locking device is unlocked, the auxiliary wheel
10 will always touch the ground, the auxiliary wheel 10 is equivalent to driving the
auxiliary wheel bracket 9 to rotate clockwise around the first rotary shaft 15, the
left end of the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 is raised relative to the drive wheel bracket
4, and since the elastic force of the wheel compression spring 5 is reduced, the compression
deformation of the drive wheel compression spring 1 is increased. When the locking
device is locked, the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 rotates counterclockwise with the
vehicle body 30, and the left end of the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 is lowered relative
to the drive wheel bracket 4. Under the condition that the force applied to the drive
wheel 2 is the same as that during unlocking, the deformation degree of the compression
of the drive wheel compression spring 1 will be correspondingly reduced due to the
increase of the elastic force of the auxiliary wheel compression spring 5, so that
the deformation of the vehicle body 30 is smaller than that when the locking device
is unlocking, which improves the connection rigidity between the drive wheel 2 and
the vehicle body 30, and reduces the possibility of overturning.
[0031] In addition, after the gantry 28 is lifted over a certain height, as the center of
gravity of the whole vehicle rises, the locking device should be locked when turning
or going straight to improve the safety of the vehicle.
[0032] In this embodiment, by adding a locking device, the connection between the auxiliary
wheel and the vehicle body and the connection between the auxiliary wheel bracket
and the vehicle body can be adjusted, and thus the overall rigidity of the vehicle
can be further adjusted. In the process of turning, hydraulic operation of the vehicle
and the like, the connection rigidity between the drive wheel 2 and the vehicle body
30 and the connection rigidity between the auxiliary wheel 10 and the vehicle body
30 can be improved by locking the locking device, so that the safety of the operation
of the whole vehicle can be effectively improved, and the locking device can be unlocked
under other conditions, so as to improve the comfort of the operation of the vehicle,
balance the advantages of rigid suspension and elastic suspension, and improve the
comfort and the stability.
[0033] Further, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the first rotary shaft 15 is also rotatably
connected to a lower connecting rod 6. A connecting rod 12 at a first end of the lower
connecting rod 6 blocks the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 from above. The drive wheel
bracket includes a main bracket 13 and a vertical bracket 14 fixed below the main
bracket 13. The bottom end of the vertical bracket 14 is pivotally connected to the
second end of the lower connecting rod 6.
[0034] The lower connecting rod 6 and the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 are pivotally connected
to the first rotary shaft 15. The lower connecting rod 6 and the auxiliary wheel bracket
9 form an X-shaped structure. When the two are relatively rotated, the connecting
rod 12 of the lower connecting rod 6 blocks the auxiliary wheel bracket 9, so that
the first end of the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 can no longer move upwards relative
to the first end of the lower connecting rod 6, thereby limiting the floating range
of the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 and further improving the operation safety.
[0035] Further, the auxiliary wheel compression spring 5 and the drive wheel compression
spring 1 are respectively arranged on both sides of the drive wheel 2, specifically
on both sides in the axial direction of the drive wheel 2, so as to further improve
the stability between the drive wheel 2 and the vehicle body 30.
[0036] Further, the locking device includes a locking oil cylinder 8 and a solenoid valve
11 provided on the locking oil cylinder 8. The locking oil cylinder 8 is locked or
floated by the control of the solenoid valve 11. The solenoid valve 11 is electrically
connected to the output end of the controller 20. The controller 20 controls on and
off of the solenoid valve 11 to correspondingly open and close the locking oil cylinder
8 to lock or float the locking oil cylinder 8. The locking oil cylinder 8 is used
to facilitate the operation and reliable locking when adjusting the rigidity of the
suspension system according to the vehicle condition. In the reach forklift truck,
one end of the locking oil cylinder 8 is connected to the first end of the auxiliary
wheel bracket 9, and another end is connected to the vehicle body 30.
[0037] Preferably, the locking device is of an integral structure without an external oil
passage.
[0038] In addition to the above-mentioned reach forklift truck chassis, the present application
further provides a reach forklift truck including a reach forklift truck chassis and
a vehicle body connected to the reach forklift truck chassis. The reach forklift truck
chassis may specifically be the reach forklift truck chassis according to any of the
above embodiments, and the beneficial effects can refer to each of the above embodiments.
The reach forklift truck chassis can be specifically a standing-drive reach forklift
truck, which adopts standing-drive operation and has a four-wheel structure.
[0039] Further, the reach forklift truck also includes a hydraulic system connected to the
vehicle body 30. The hydraulic system includes a fork lifting oil passage corresponding
to the fork on the vehicle body 30, and the fork lifting oil passage is connected
to a pressure detection device 24, which may be a pressure switch or a pressure sensor.
The output end of the pressure detection device 24 is electrically connected to the
input end of the controller 20. According to the detection of the fork lifting oil
passage, the load condition of the fork 27 can be correspondingly determined, and
then the full load and empty load conditions of the vehicle can be determined. When
the controller determines that the load is full, the controller 20 controls the rigidity
of the suspension system to be increased to reduce or eliminate the impact and shaking
during the lifting, lowering, forward movement and backward movement of the gantry
28.
[0040] Further, the reach forklift truck includes a gantry 28 provided on the vehicle body
30, a fork 27 is specifically provided on the gantry 28. The gantry 28 can move up
and down, and back and forth. The gantry 28 is provided with a height detection device
18 for detecting the height of the gantry 28, which may specifically be a sensor capable
for detecting the height, such as a photoelectric sensor. The output end of the height
detection device 18 is electrically connected to the input end of the controller 20.
The controller 20 can control the opening and closing of the locking device according
to the detection result of the height detection device 18. Specifically, when the
gantry 28 is lifted to a preset height, especially in a full load state, the forklift
is easy to tip over due to the increased center of gravity of the forklift, and the
controller 20 controls the locking device to be locked to improve the stability of
the vehicle.
[0041] Further, the reach forklift truck includes an operating handle 25 provided in the
vehicle body 30 for controlling the movement of the gantry 28. The operating handle
25 is provided with a movement detection device for detecting whether the operating
handle 25 is in motion, and may specifically be a photoelectric switch or a photoelectric
sensor. Since the operation of the operating handle 25 is in correspondence with the
operation of the gantry 28, whether the gantry 28 moves in the corresponding direction
can be determined according to whether the operating handle 25 moves. The output end
of the movement detection device is electrically connected to the input end of the
controller 20, and the controller 20 can control the opening and closing of the locking
device according to the detection result of the movement detection device. During
the staring and closing moments when the gantry 28 moves back and forth, the impact
is large, and the controller 20 controls the locking device to start to be locked,
thereby improving the connection rigidity of the suspension system. During the movement,
the impact is small, the center of gravity of the rear axle changes, and the controller
20 controls the locking device to be closed to unlock and improve the elasticity of
the suspension system. The movement detection device is provided on the operating
handle 25 instead of directly on the gantry 28, which is convenient for installation.
[0042] In one embodiment, the movement detection device includes a front-back movement switch
21, a lifting switch 22 and a lowering switch 23. The front-back movement switch 21
is used to detect the movement of the operating handle 25 during controlling the forward
and backward movement of the gantry 28, the lifting switch 22 is used to detect the
movement of the operating handle 25 during controlling the lifting of the gantry 28,
and the lowering switch 23 is used to detect the movement of the operating handle
25 during controlling the lowering of the gantry 28.
[0043] Further, the vehicle body 30 is further connected to a front wheel and a steering
wheel, the front wheel and the drive wheel 2 are connected to a speed sensor 19, and
the steering wheel is connected to an angle sensor 26. The output end of the speed
sensor 19 and the output end the angle sensor 26 are electrically connected to the
input end of the controller 20, respectively. The speed sensor 19 can detect the speed
of the corresponding wheel. Specifically, it can be considered in combination with
the pressure detection device 24 and the angle sensor 26. The angle sensor 26 can
reflect the turning speed of the forklift. When the full-load turning speed is small,
the controller 20 controls the rigidity of the suspension system in the chassis to
increase. When the no-load turning speed is large, the controller 20 controls the
elasticity of the suspension system in the chassis to increase. In addition, according
to the vehicle speed and turning speed, the vehicle condition is comprehensively judged
and then the opening and closing control of the locking device is carried out to reduce
the possibility of the vehicle tipping and improve the stability of the vehicle. In
addition, an acceleration sensor may be provided on the drive wheel 2 and/or the front
wheel.
[0044] It should be noted that, for sensors and other devices connected to the input end
of the controller to control the opening and closing of the locking device, in order
to solve the problem of mutually exclusive instructions and avoid contradiction of
instructions, priority levels for these devices are usually preset in the controller,
and control signals are output to the locking device according to the priority levels.
[0045] Further, the locking device includes a locking oil cylinder 8 connected between the
first end of the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 and the vehicle body 30 and a solenoid
valve 11 provided on the locking oil cylinder 8. The locking oil cylinder 8 is locked
or floated by the control of the solenoid valve 11. The solenoid valve 11 is electrically
connected to the output end of the controller 20. The controller 20 controls the solenoid
valve 11 to open and close the locking oil cylinder 8, so that the rigidity degree
of the suspension system is adjusted according to the vehicle, the operation is convenient,
and the locking is reliable. As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, the drive wheel bracket
4 is pivotally connected to one end of the upper connecting rod 3, and another end
of the upper connecting rod 3 is pivotally connected to the vehicle body 30. The top
end of the drive wheel compression spring 1 is fixed to the vehicle body 30 through
the second connecting block 17. The top end of the locking oil cylinder 8 is pivotally
connected to the vehicle body 30 through the first connecting block 7 and the bottom
end is pivotally connected to the first end of the auxiliary wheel bracket 9. The
first rotary shaft 15 is fixed to the vehicle body 30.
[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the locking device may be provided with other settings.
For example, the locking device may be a linear motor, and one end of the linear motor
is fixed to the vehicle body 30, and another end is not directly connected to the
auxiliary wheel bracket 9. When the output shaft of the linear motor retracts, the
rotation of the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 relative to the first rotary shaft 15 is
not affected, but the auxiliary wheel bracket 9 is locked after the output shaft of
the linear motor extends out and is clamped and fixed on the auxiliary wheel bracket
9.
[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, a second locking device may be further provided
between the drive wheel bracket 4 and the vehicle body 30, and the drive wheel bracket
4 and the vehicle body 30 may be relatively fixed together when locked, and the vehicle
body 30 and the drive wheel bracket 4 can move relatively when unlocked, thereby directly
adjusting the rigidity of the connection between the drive wheel bracket 4 and the
vehicle body 30.
[0048] The embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. Each
embodiment is focused on describing the differences from other embodiments, and reference
may be made one to another for the same or similar parts among the embodiments.
