Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of forklift control consoles, and in particular relates to a forklift control console with adjustable height and angle. Background Art

[0002] Forklifts, as industrial handling vehicles, refer to various wheeled handling vehicles used for loading and unloading, stacking and short-distance transportation of palletized goods.

[0003] At present, the control consoles of forklifts are mostly fixed structures and cannot be adjusted in height and angle. Since operators have different heights, some taller or shorter operators may have inconveniences when operating the forklift. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the above problems in the prior art and proposes a forklift control console with adjustable height and angle for operators of different heights to operate the vehicle.

[0005] The present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A forklift control console with adjustable height and angle, comprising:

[0007] Mounting seat;

[0008] a connecting plate rotatably connected to the mounting seat;

[0009] A lifting mechanism comprising a lifting plate and a connecting rod assembly, wherein one end of the connecting rod assembly is connected to the mounting seat and the other end passes through the lifting plate and is connected to the connecting plate, and the lifting plate is liftably connected to the connecting plate via the connecting rod assembly;

[0010] A console body is rotatably connected to the lifting plate, and when the console body rotates, the lifting plate is driven to move up and down along the connecting plate;

[0011] A locking mechanism is connected to the connecting rod assembly. When the connecting rod assembly is driven by the locking mechanism to abut against the lifting plate, the lifting plate and the connecting rod assembly are both in a locked state. At this time, the console body and the connecting plate cannot rotate.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the mounting seat is provided with a first hinged seat, a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft are passed through the first hinged seat, and there are two connecting plates, which are respectively connected to the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, a second hinged seat is provided at the bottom of the console body, and there are two lifting plates, which are respectively hinged to the second hinged seat. When the console body rotates, one lifting plate rises and the other lifting plate falls.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the lifting plate is vertically provided with a sliding groove.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, the connecting rod assembly includes:

[0016] A first connecting block, a second connecting block and a connecting shaft, wherein the first connecting block and the second connecting block are connected at both ends via the connecting shafts, and the two connecting shafts are connected in cooperation with the sliding grooves of the two lifting plates;

[0017] A connecting rod, the upper end of which is located on the same straight line as the first connecting block and one end of the second connecting block and is connected through the connecting shaft, and the lower end of the connecting rod is connected to the first rotating shaft.

[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention, the first connecting block and the second connecting block are both movably arranged on the connecting shaft, the first connecting block is close to the lifting plate, and the second connecting block is close to the connecting rod.

[0019] As a further improvement of the present invention, the locking mechanism includes:

[0020] Control handle;

[0021] a third rotating shaft, one end of which is connected to the control handle and the other end of which passes through the first connecting block to be close to the second connecting block, and the third rotating shaft is connected to the first connecting block by a thread;

[0022] When the control handle is rotated, the third rotating shaft drives the first connecting block to abut against the lifting plate, and the third rotating shaft pushes the second connecting block to abut against the connecting rod.

[0023] As a further improvement of the present invention, it further includes a connecting piece, which is arranged between the lifting plate and the connecting plate, and the connecting shaft is sequentially passed through the sliding groove, the connecting piece and the connecting plate.

[0024] As a further improvement of the present invention, it further includes a cylinder, both ends of which are connected to the first hinge seat and the second hinge seat respectively.

[0025] As a further improvement of the present invention, a reset torsion spring is further sleeved on the second rotating shaft.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. The console body can be raised and lowered along the connecting plate through the lifting plate, so that the console body can be adapted to operators of different heights for operation.

[0028] 2. The console body can be rotated to adjust the angle. The angle of the console body can also be adjusted by rotating the connecting plate, so that the console body has two angle adjustment positions. Further, the entire forklift console can be adjusted to the operating position required by each operator, improving the operator's comfort when driving.

[0029] 3. By adjusting the locking mechanism, the two rotation positions and the lifting adjustment can be locked at the same time. At this time, the entire forklift console is always in a fixed position, ensuring the safety of the operator during driving. Conversely, the two rotation positions and the lifting adjustment can be unlocked at the same time, which is more convenient during adjustment.

[0030] 4. When the operator turns the control handle, the third rotating shaft can drive the first connecting block to gradually approach the lifting plate until it abuts against the lifting plate. At this time, the first connecting block and the lifting plate cannot move relative to each other, and the locking operation of the lifting adjustment can be completed. The lifting and lowering of the lifting plate is linked to the rotation of the console body, so that the console body cannot rotate and is in a locked state.

[0031] 5. When the operator turns the control handle, the third rotation will also move in the direction of the second connecting block and push the second connecting block to abut against the connecting rod. At this time, no relative movement can be generated between the second connecting block and the connecting rod, thereby locking the connecting rod, and further preventing relative movement between the connecting plate and the mounting seat and placing them in a locked state.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical method of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0038] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a forklift control console with adjustable height and angle, comprising:

[0039] The mounting base 100 is used for mounting on a forklift body.

[0040] The connecting plate 110 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 100 .

[0041] The lifting mechanism 200 includes a lifting plate 210 and a connecting rod assembly. One end of the connecting rod assembly is connected to the mounting base 100 and the other end passes through the lifting plate 210 and is connected to the connecting plate 110. That is to say, when the connecting plate 110 rotates, it will drive the lifting plate 210 to rotate synchronously, and the connecting rod assembly will also rotate. In addition, the lifting plate 210 is connected to the connecting plate 110 in a liftable manner through the connecting rod assembly, so that the lifting plate 210 can move up and down along the connecting plate 110.

[0042] The console body 120 is rotatably connected to the lifting plate 210. That is, in this embodiment, the console body 120 can be raised and lowered along the connecting plate 110 via the lifting plate 210, so that the console body 120 can be adapted for operation by operators of different heights.

[0043] In addition, the console body 120 can be rotated to adjust the angle. The angle of the console body 120 can also be adjusted by rotating the connecting plate 110. Thus, the console body 120 has two angle adjustment positions. This further allows the entire forklift console to be adjusted to the operating position required by each operator, thereby improving the operator's comfort when operating and driving.

[0044] It is worth mentioning here that in this embodiment, the rotation of the console body 120 is not independent, but will drive the lifting plate 210 to move up and down along the connecting plate 110. That is to say, when the lifting plate 210 cannot be raised or lowered, the console body 120 cannot rotate.

[0045] The locking mechanism 130 is connected to the connecting rod assembly. Specifically, by adjusting the locking mechanism 130, the connecting rod assembly can be driven to move until it abuts against the lifting plate 210. At this time, the lifting plate 210 and the connecting rod assembly are in a locked state and cannot move relative to each other, thereby preventing the console body 120 from rotating. In addition, when the locking mechanism 130 is adjusted, the connecting rod assembly itself is also adjusted to a locked state. When the connecting rod assembly cannot rotate, the connecting plate 110 and the mounting base 100 are also locked.

[0046] In summary, in this embodiment, the entire forklift console has two rotation positions and can also be adjusted for lifting and lowering, which is suitable for different operators to operate and drive. Once the operator adjusts to a comfortable position, the two rotation positions and the lifting adjustment can be locked at the same time by simply adjusting the locking mechanism 130. At this time, the entire forklift console is always in a fixed position, ensuring the safety of the operator during the operation and driving process. Conversely, the two rotation positions and the lifting adjustment can be unlocked at the same time, which is more convenient during adjustment.

[0047] Preferably, the mounting seat 100 is provided with a first hinged seat 101, and a first rotating shaft 102 and a second rotating shaft 103 are passed through the first hinged seat 101. There are two connecting plates 110, and the two connecting plates 110 are respectively connected to the first rotating shaft 102 and the second rotating shaft 103, so that the two connecting plates 110 can rotate around the hinge between the mounting seat 100.

[0048] Preferably, a second hinge seat 121 is provided at the bottom of the console body 120, and two lifting plates 210 are provided. The two lifting plates 210 are respectively hinged to the second hinge seat 121. In this embodiment, when the console body 120 rotates, one lifting plate 210 rises and the other lifting plate 210 falls, thereby forming a matching relationship between the rotation of the console body 120 and the lifting and lowering adjustment of the lifting plate 210, and then the rotation of the console body 120 can be locked by simply locking the lifting and lowering of the lifting plate 210.

[0049] Preferably, the lifting plate 210 is vertically provided with a sliding slot 211 .

[0050] Preferably, the connecting rod assembly comprises:

[0051] The first connecting block 220, the second connecting block 230, and the connecting shaft 240 are connected at both ends of the first connecting block 220 and the second connecting block 230 via the connecting shaft 240. The two connecting shafts 240 pass through the sliding grooves 211 of the two lifting plates 210 and are connected to the connecting plate 110. Therefore, when the lifting plate 210 is raised or lowered, the connecting plate 110 and the connecting shaft 240 are always in a fixed position, and only the lifting plate 210 moves up and down.

[0052] The upper end of the connecting rod 250 is located on the same straight line as the first connecting block 220 and one end of the second connecting block 230 and is connected through the connecting shaft 240. The lower end of the connecting rod 250 is connected to the first rotating shaft 102. Therefore, when the two connecting plates 110 rotate around the first rotating shaft 102 and the second rotating shaft 103, the connecting rod 250 will also rotate synchronously. Therefore, when the connecting rod 250 is in a locked state and cannot rotate, the connecting plate 110 cannot rotate either.

[0053] Further preferably, the first connecting block 220 and the second connecting block 230 are both movably disposed on the connecting shaft 240 , wherein the first connecting block 220 is close to the lifting plate 210 , and the second connecting block 230 is close to the connecting rod 250 .

[0054] Preferably, the locking mechanism 130 includes:

[0055] Control handle 131;

[0056] A third rotating shaft 132, one end of which is connected to the control handle 131 and the other end of which passes through the first connecting block 220 to approach the second connecting block 230, and the third rotating shaft 132 and the first connecting block 220 are connected by a thread;

[0057] Specifically, since the third rotating shaft 132 and the first connecting block 220 are connected by threads, when the control handle 131 is rotated, the third rotating shaft 132 can drive the first connecting block 220 to gradually approach the lifting plate 210 until it abuts against the lifting plate 210. At this time, the first connecting block 220 and the lifting plate 210 cannot move relative to each other, and the lifting adjustment is locked, thereby making the console body 120 unable to rotate and locked.

[0058] In addition, as the control handle 131 rotates, the third rotation also moves toward the direction of the second connecting block 230, and pushes the second connecting block 230 until it abuts against the connecting rod 250. At this time, the second connecting block 230 and the connecting rod 250 cannot generate relative movement, thereby locking the connecting rod 250, thereby preventing relative movement between the connecting plate 110 and the mounting base 100 and placing them in a locked state.

[0059] That is to say, in this embodiment, the operator only needs to rotate the control handle 131 to lock the two rotation positions and the lifting adjustment function. When unlocking, the operator only needs to rotate the control handle 131 in the opposite direction to separate the first connecting block 220 from the lifting plate 210, and at the same time, the third rotating shaft 132 is separated from the second connecting block 230. It is worth mentioning here that although the third rotating shaft 132 is separated from the second connecting block 230, the second connecting block 230 is still in contact with the connecting rod 250, but since the third rotating shaft 132 no longer applies axial thrust to the second connecting block 230, it is only necessary to rotate the connecting plate 110, and a gap will be generated between the second connecting block 230 and the connecting rod 250, and the lock will be automatically unlocked.

[0060] Preferably, it also includes a connecting piece 140, which is arranged between the lifting plate 210 and the connecting plate 110, and the connecting shaft 240 is sequentially passed through the sliding groove 211, the connecting piece 140 and the connecting plate 110. The setting of the connecting piece 140 mainly plays a transition connection role between the lifting plate 210 and the connecting plate 110.

[0061] Preferably, it further includes a cylinder 150 , both ends of which are connected to the first hinge seat 101 and the second hinge seat 121 respectively.

[0062] Preferably, a return torsion spring 1031 is further sleeved on the second rotating shaft 103 . When the entire forklift console is in an unlocked state, the return torsion spring 1031 can assist in returning the connecting plate 110 .

The above is a specific embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present invention, various improvements and modifications can be made, and such improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0064] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings).

For example, "fixation" can mean fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise specified. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0067] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in this field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
