Direction switch assembly of a forklift

Abstract

The invention discloses a direction switch assembly of a forklift. The direction switch assembly comprises two direction switches, a fixing plate, a gear shift mechanism and a prodding element, wherein the gear shift mechanism consists of a guide rail which is horizontally arranged at the intermediate position of the fixing plate and a sliding block matched with the guide rail, and protrusions are respectively arranged at the intermediate position of the upper side end surface and the intermediate position of the lower side end surface of the sliding block; the two direction switches are respectively fixed on the fixing plate, and are oppositely and symmetrically distributed on the upper side and the lower side of the sliding block, and when free ends of control rods of the direction switches are in contact with the end faces of the protrusions, the direction switches are closed; the prodding element is connected to the front surface of the sliding block. The direction switch assembly disclosed by the invention has the advantages that the direction switch assembly adopts a tiled structure, the switching off or the switching on of the two direction switches is controlled through different positions of the sliding block on the guide rail, and besides, the prodding element is directly connected to the sliding block, so that the structure is more compact; therefore, the mounting position of the direction switch assembly can be changed and is no longer limited to steering tube columns of the forklift, and besides, the prodding operation mode of the prodding element conforms to human engineering.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a forklift, in particular to a direction switch assembly of the forklift. Background technique [0002] The direction switch of the forklift is an important mechanism to control the forward and backward of the forklift. The direction switches of common forklifts are mostly gear lever type, such as Figure 8 As shown, a plastic block 92 is installed on the switch end of the gear bar 91, and the plastic block 92 is fixed on the mounting plate 94 through a shaft 93, and the plastic block 92 can rotate smoothly around the shaft 93, and the switch 95 is arranged on the plastic block 92 On both sides of the switch 95, the gear block 96 is located at the upper end of the switch 95; when the gear lever 91 is moved forward, the raised part of the plastic block 92 squeezes the front switch 95, so that the front switch 95 is closed, similarly when the gear lever 91 When toggled backwards, the switch 95 at the back of the control is close...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The installation of this direction switch requires a large space, and the operation of the gear lever 91 requires a large stroke, so the existing forklifts generally have this direction switch installed on the steering column below the steering wheel. However, on the one hand, the forklift driver Generally, the left hand controls the steering wheel, and the right hand controls the operating handle, and the direction switch is installed under the steering wheel, which will cause the driver to be unable to quickly control the direction switch forward or backward during work; on the other hand, the structure of this direction switch Limitation, the installation position of the direction switch cannot be changed, and there is a problem that the direction switch does not conform to ergonomics during the use of the forklift, which is not conducive to the driver's operation
