Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of forklift gantry manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a welding assembly system and method for forklift gantry frame structures. Background Technology

[0002] The gantry frame structure of a forklift, as the core load-bearing component supporting the entire gantry system, directly affects the safety performance and service life of the equipment. Traditional gantry frame structures, due to their large overall height, typically require multiple sections longitudinally joined by welding. This manufacturing method presents significant technical bottlenecks in practical applications. First, the heat-affected zone generated during welding alters the microstructure of the base material, creating weak points in the weld area. Second, under alternating loads, stress concentration easily occurs at the weld joints of the multi-section spliced ​​structure, potentially leading to microcracks that gradually propagate over long-term operation. Third, the straightness and parallelism of the uprights in the frame structure are significantly affected by welding deformation; improper process control can lead to a decrease in the accuracy of the gantry track fit. Existing welded gantry frame structures exhibit poor fatigue resistance. When the forklift performs frequent lifting operations, the welded areas are subjected to complex bending and torsional stresses, making it difficult to meet the reliability requirements of high-intensity working conditions. Especially under low-temperature environments or dynamic impact loads, welding defects are more likely to cause structural failure, posing a potential risk to the safety of warehousing and logistics operations.

After being assembled from multiple segments, this structure can withstand complex bending and torsional stresses, and its reliability meets the requirements of high-intensity working conditions.
