Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent application relates to the technical field of stand-up forklifts, and particularly to a stand-up floorboard with braking and OPS pedal functions. Background Art

[0002] Currently, only one pedal is configured on the stand-up forklift floorboard for the OPS function. When operating the forklift in a stand-up manner, the operator steps on this pedal, and the pedal sends an OPS signal to the vehicle control system, and then starts to control various actions of the vehicle. When defining the control strategy of most stand-up forklifts, it is also defined that this OPS pedal switch is used as a brake pedal. That is, once the operator lifts the OPS pedal, the forklift control system defaults that the operator has got off the vehicle. At this time, it is equivalent to the vehicle's parking brake. That is, when the operator stands on the stand-up floorboard (with the foot not stepping on the OPS pedal), in this case, the operator cannot operate various actions of the forklift anymore. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, the purpose of this patent application is to provide a stand-up floorboard with braking and OPS pedal functions to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A stand-up floorboard with braking and OPS pedal functions includes a floorboard. Two through holes are opened on the floorboard. A braking pedal and an OPS pedal are rotatably connected to the lower end of the floorboard.

[0010] Further, the reset mechanism includes a support plate with its upper end connected to the lower end face of the bottom plate and its lower end extending to one side and located directly below the through hole. The support plate is in an L-shaped structure. A return spring is connected to the upper end face of the horizontal section of the support plate, and the upper end of the return spring passes through the through hole and is connected to the lower end face of the pedal body.

[0011] Further, a fixed shaft is connected to the upper end face of the horizontal section of the support plate, and the return spring is wound around the fixed shaft.

[0012] Further, two mounting plates are connected to the lower end of the bottom plate, and the OPS switch and the brake switch are respectively connected to the corresponding mounting plates by bolts.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0028] A standing driving bottom plate with brake and OPS pedal functions, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , includes a bottom plate 1. Two through holes 11 are opened on the bottom plate 1. The lower end of the bottom plate 1 is rotatably connected with a brake pedal 5 and an OPS pedal 8. The stepping parts of the brake pedal 5 and the OPS pedal 8 extend upward through the corresponding through holes 11 to reach above the bottom plate 1. The lower end of the bottom plate 1 is provided with a brake switch 9 corresponding to the brake pedal 5 and an OPS switch 7 corresponding to the OPS pedal 8;

[0029] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the lower end of the bottom plate 1 is respectively provided with a reset mechanism for restoring the brake pedal 5 and the OPS pedal 8 to their original positions. The reset mechanism includes a support plate 14 with its upper end connected to the lower end face of the bottom plate 1 and its lower end extending to one side and located directly below the through hole 11. The support plate 14 is in an L-shaped structure. The upper end face of the horizontal section of the support plate 14 is connected with a return spring 6. The upper end of the return spring 6 passes through the through hole 11 and is connected to the lower end face of the pedal body 10. The upper end face of the horizontal section of the support plate 14 is connected with a fixed shaft 13. The return spring 6 is wound around the fixed shaft 13, which plays a guiding role for the return spring 6 to prevent the return spring 6 from being displaced due to long-term use.

[0030] As shown inFigure 6 As shown, both the brake pedal 5 and the OPS pedal 8 include a pedal body 10. The pedal body 10 is connected to the outer sidewall of the radial direction of the steel pipe 20. One end of the pedal body 10 is connected to the steel pipe 20. The side of the steel pipe 20 far from the pedal body 10 is connected to a round steel 40 through a connecting plate 30. The lower end of the bottom plate 1 is connected to pin plates 16 located on both sides of the length direction of the steel pipe 20. The pedal body 10 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 1 through a pin 2 passing through the pin plate 16 and the steel pipe 20. By stepping on or releasing the pedal body 10, the round steel 40 rotates around the pin 2 to control the OPS switch 7 and the brake switch 9.

[0031] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the lower end of the bottom plate 1 is connected to two mounting plates 15. The OPS switch 7 and the brake switch 9 are respectively connected to the corresponding mounting plates 15 through bolts.

[0032] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, buffer pads 4 are connected to both the upper and lower end faces of a section of the pedal body 10 located below the bottom plate 1, which play a buffering role to prevent the pedal body 10 from rigidly colliding with the bottom plate 1 or the lower structure when rotating around the pin 2. The circumferential edge of the lower end of the bottom plate 1 is connected to not less than one fixing plate 12. The lower end of the fixing plate 12 is connected to a shock-absorbing pad 3, which is used to support the entire bottom plate 1. At the same time, the shock-absorbing pad 3 also has the functions of vibration isolation and shock absorption to ensure the comfort of standing and driving.

[0033] As Figure 6 shown, the pedal body 10 includes a rotating part 101 connected to the steel pipe 20. One end of the rotating part 101 far from the steel pipe 20 is connected to a transition part 102 extending towards the through hole 11. One end of the transition part 102 far from the rotating part 101 is connected to a stepping part 103. The width of the stepping part 103 is greater than the width of the rotating part 101. The rotating part 101, the transition part 102 and the stepping part 103 are integrally formed structures, which are integrally formed and have a firm structure.

[0034] The floorboard of the present invention for standing driving has two functions: braking and OPS. When the driver stands and drives the vehicle, the left and right feet step on the OPS pedal 8 and the brake pedal 5 respectively. The return spring 6 is compressed and deformed. The OPS pedal 8 and the brake pedal 5 rotate around their respective pin shafts 2. Then the round steel 40 thereon acts on the OPS switch 7 and the brake switch 9 respectively. After ensuring the correct standing posture of the driver, the next operation can be carried out. When the forklift needs to brake, the right foot is slightly lifted. The brake pedal 5 automatically returns under the spring force of the return spring 6. The buffer pad 4 is used for buffering and limiting after the brake pedal 5 returns in place. After returning, the round steel 40 in the brake pedal 5 releases the pressure on the elastic piece of the brake switch 9. Then the brake switch 9 sends a braking signal to the vehicle control system for braking, realizing the braking function. The action process and principle of the OPS pedal 8 are similar to those of the brake pedal 5. The left foot slightly lifts the OPS pedal 8. Similarly, under the action of the return spring 6, the round steel 40 releases the action on the OPS switch 7, realizing the OPS function. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0035] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of this patent application, and are not used to limit this patent application. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this patent application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed in this patent application should still be covered by the claims of this patent application.
