Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of forklift component installation, specifically to a convenient and quick-installation exhaust pipe assembly for forklifts and its installation method. Background Technology

[0002] Forklifts are wheeled handling vehicles used for loading, unloading, stacking, short-distance transport, and heavy-duty handling of palletized goods. The exhaust pipe is a crucial component for forklift emissions. In existing technologies, the exhaust pipe is relatively long, making installation complex and unstable, resulting in the following problems:

[0003] 1. Existing technology typically uses bolts to fix the exhaust pipe to the forklift. However, due to the low machining precision of the threaded holes on the forklift used to install the exhaust pipe or the connecting holes on the exhaust pipe, there is often a misalignment between the mounting holes on the exhaust pipe and the threaded holes on the forklift. This misalignment is random. Therefore, during exhaust pipe installation, the above-mentioned errors can easily lead to installation difficulties, and may even require further machining to enlarge the mounting holes.

[0004] 2. In the existing technology, the exhaust pipe is relatively long, and due to the production precision of the exhaust pipe, the thickness of the exhaust pipe may be uneven. Therefore, in the existing technology, the exhaust pipe is installed in multiple places with rigid installation, which causes greater vibration during installation. In addition, due to the different thicknesses of the exhaust pipe, it is difficult to align the exhaust pipe installation components, resulting in installation difficulties and a waste of a lot of manpower. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient and quick-installation exhaust pipe assembly for forklifts, which enables the rapid installation of exhaust pipes of different diameters and lengths, while also ensuring stable installation of the exhaust pipes.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, according to the first aspect of this document, the present invention provides a convenient and quick-installation exhaust pipe assembly for forklifts, comprising an adjusting plate, a wedge ring, a bracket, an exhaust pipe, and a clamp. The exhaust pipe includes a first pipe and a corrugated pipe. The first pipe has an arc-shaped structure, a mounting base is fixed to one end of the first pipe, and a corrugated pipe is detachably connected to the other end of the first pipe.

[0007] According to the aforementioned scheme, a cylindrical protrusion is fixed on the surface of the adjusting plate, and a waist hole is provided in the middle of the cylindrical protrusion, the waist hole passing through the adjusting plate and the cylindrical protrusion; through holes are evenly provided at the four corners of the mounting base, and the cylindrical protrusion is placed in the through hole, the cylindrical protrusion filling the entire through hole.

[0008] According to the aforementioned scheme, a threaded hole is provided on one side of the bottom of the forklift, and the bolt passes through the waist hole and the wedge ring and is screwed into the threaded hole.

[0009] According to the preceding scheme, the support comprises a support horizontal part and a support vertical part, the support horizontal part is a plate structure, a waist hole is arranged on the support horizontal part, a threaded hole is arranged on the other side of the bottom of the forklift, and a bolt is screwed in the threaded hole through the waist hole.

[0010] According to the preceding scheme, the support vertical part is a frame structure, a plurality of support rods are uniformly arranged on the support vertical part, and a pair of supports are arranged on the two sides of the exhaust pipe.

[0011] According to the preceding scheme, a locking part one is fixed on one end of the clamp, a locking part two is fixed on the other end of the clamp, and the locking part one and the locking part two are connected through an adjusting bolt.

[0012] According to the preceding scheme, a through hole is arranged in the middle of the wedge-shaped ring, and an anti-skid structure is arranged on the bottom of the wedge-shaped ring.

[0013] According to another aspect herein, a mounting method of a convenient quick-mounting type exhaust pipe assembly for a forklift is provided.

[0014] Step 1: two groups of threaded holes are pre-formed on the bottom of the forklift; the cylindrical convex part on the adjusting plate is put into the through hole on the mounting seat, the adjusting plate is rotated, the waist hole is aligned with the threaded hole on the bottom of the forklift, and the adjusting plate is fixed on the bottom of the forklift.

[0015] Step 2: the bolt is passed through the waist hole on the adjusting plate, the wedge-shaped ring is sleeved on the bolt, and the bolt is screwed into the threaded hole; the wedge-shaped ring is rotated, and the thicker part of the wedge-shaped ring is turned to the position where the gap between the forklift and the adjusting plate is larger.

[0016] Step 3: a pair of supports are installed on the two sides of the exhaust pipe through bolts.

[0017] Step 4: the clamp is wound around the exhaust pipe, and is respectively passed through the lower part of the vertical part of the two supports and the hole between the two adjacent support rods on the vertical part of the support again; the clamp is retracted or extended through the adjusting bolt (17), and the clamp fixes the exhaust pipe on the two supports.

[0018] The present application provides a convenient quick-mounting type exhaust pipe assembly for a forklift and a mounting method thereof, and the beneficial effects achieved are as follows:

[0019] 1、The prior art usually adopts the bolt connection mode to fix the exhaust pipe on the forklift; and due to the low machining precision of the threaded hole on the forklift for mounting the exhaust pipe or the connecting hole on the exhaust pipe, the mounting hole on the exhaust pipe and the threaded hole on the forklift usually exist misalignment, and the misalignment is random; therefore, during the installation of the exhaust pipe, the installation is difficult due to the above error, and even further machining is required to expand the mounting hole. In view of this, the applicant fixedly arranges a cylindrical protrusion on the adjusting plate, and arranges the cylindrical protrusion in the through hole on the mounting seat; as long as the adjusting plate is rotated, the waist hole on the cylindrical protrusion can be rotated to any position of the through hole on the mounting seat! Therefore, no matter the threaded hole on the forklift appears error in any position up and down or left and right, the waist hole can be quickly connected with the threaded hole on the forklift!

[0020] 2、In the prior art, the exhaust pipe is long, and due to the production precision problem of the exhaust pipe, the thickness of the exhaust pipe may exist uneven problem; therefore, in the prior art, the hard installation at multiple positions is adopted, so that the installation vibration of the exhaust pipe is large, and due to the different thickness of the exhaust pipe, the installation components of the exhaust pipe are difficult to align, which leads to installation difficulty and waste of a large amount of labor. In view of this, the application fixes the bracket on both sides of the exhaust pipe, and arranges multiple supporting rods on the vertical part of the bracket; and the exhaust pipe is flexibly bound on both sides of the bracket through the flexible clamp. Since multiple groups of supporting rods are arranged on the vertical part of the bracket, and the contraction of the clamp is adjustable, during the installation of the exhaust pipe with different thickness, the position of the clamp passing through different supporting rods can be adjusted, and the clamp is contracted for stable installation; in this way, the exhaust pipe with different thickness can be quickly and stably installed! At the same time, the exhaust pipe is flexibly installed on the forklift through the clamp; in this way, during the movement of the forklift, the exhaust pipe can flexibly vibrate under the fixation of the clamp, so as to improve the stability and service life of the exhaust pipe.

[0030] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are only exemplary and explanatory, and cannot limit the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments herein clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments herein will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments herein, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments herein, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application. It should be noted that the embodiments herein and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other in any manner without conflict.

[0032] Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, throughout the description and the claims, the words "comprise", "comprising", and the like are to be construed in an inclusive sense as opposed to an exclusive or exhaustive sense; that is to say, in the sense of "including, but not limited to".

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-7 The first specific embodiment of the present application provides a convenient and quick mounting type exhaust pipe assembly for a forklift, which comprises an adjusting plate 4, a wedge-shaped ring 5, a bracket 6, an exhaust pipe 10 and a clamp 18, characterized in that the exhaust pipe 10 comprises a first pipe 9 and a corrugated pipe 8, the first pipe 9 is in an arc-shaped structure, one end of the first pipe 9 is fixed with a mounting seat 2, and the other end of the first pipe 9 is detachably connected with the corrugated pipe 8.

[0034] Further, the surface of the adjusting plate 4 is fixed with a cylindrical protrusion 22, a waist hole 11 is arranged in the middle of the cylindrical protrusion 22, the waist hole 11 penetrates the adjusting plate 4 and the cylindrical protrusion 22; four corners of the mounting seat 2 are uniformly provided with through holes 21, the cylindrical protrusion 22 is arranged in the through hole 21, and the cylindrical protrusion 22 exactly fills the entire through hole 21.

[0035] It can be explained that the applicant fixes the cylindrical protrusion on the adjusting plate, and arranges the cylindrical protrusion in the through hole on the mounting seat. As long as the adjusting plate is rotated, the waist hole on the cylindrical protrusion can be rotated to any position of the through hole on the mounting seat. Therefore, no matter where the threaded hole on the forklift is, the waist hole can be quickly connected with the threaded hole on the forklift.

[0036] Further, a threaded hole is arranged on one side of the bottom of the forklift, the bolt 3 penetrates the waist hole 11 and the wedge ring 5, and is screwed in the threaded hole.

[0037] It can be explained that the wedge ring 5 is further sleeved on the bottom of the bolt 3, and the wedge ring 5 can fill the large gap between the adjusting plate 4 and the bottom of the forklift by rotating. Since the surface of the bottom of the forklift or the adjusting plate 4 is not flat, the wedge ring 5 can improve the stability of the installation.

[0038] Further, the bracket 6 includes a bracket horizontal part 12 and a bracket vertical part 13, the bracket horizontal part 12 is a plate structure, the bracket horizontal part 12 is provided with a waist hole 14, the other side of the bottom of the forklift is provided with a threaded hole, and the bolt 20 penetrates the waist hole 14 and is screwed in the threaded hole.

[0039] It can be explained that in the present application, when different thickness exhaust pipes are installed, the position of the clamp passing through different supporting rods can be adjusted, and the clamp can be shrunk for stable installation. Therefore, when different thickness exhaust pipes are installed, the exhaust pipes can be quickly and stably installed. At the same time, the clamp can flexibly install the exhaust pipe on the forklift. Therefore, when the forklift moves, the exhaust pipe can flexibly vibrate under the fixation of the clamp, so that the stability and service life of the exhaust pipe installation are improved.

[0040] Further, the bracket vertical part 13 is a frame structure, a plurality of supporting rods 7 are uniformly arranged on the bracket vertical part 13; a pair of brackets 6 are arranged on both sides of the exhaust pipe 10.

[0041] Further, one end of the clamp 18 is fixed with a locking part one 15, the other end of the clamp 18 is fixed with a locking part two 16, and the locking part one 15 and the locking part two 16 are connected through an adjusting bolt 17.

[0042] Further, a through hole is arranged in the middle of the wedge ring 5, and an anti-skid structure is arranged on the bottom of the wedge ring 5.

[0043] According to another aspect herein, the installation method of the convenient and quick mounting type exhaust pipe assembly for the forklift truck:

[0044] Step 1: two sets of threaded holes are pre-formed at the bottom of the forklift truck 1; the cylindrical protrusion 22 on the adjusting plate 4 is put into the through hole 21 on the mounting seat 2, and the adjusting plate 4 is rotated so that the waist hole 11 is aligned with the threaded hole at the bottom of the forklift truck 1;

[0045] Step 2: the bolt 3 is passed through the waist hole 11 on the adjusting plate 4, the wedge-shaped ring 5 is sleeved on the bolt 3, and the bolt 3 is screwed into the threaded hole; the installer rotates the wedge-shaped ring 5 so that the thicker part of the wedge-shaped ring 5 is turned to the position where the gap between the forklift truck and the adjusting plate 4 is larger;

[0046] Step 3: a pair of supports 6 are installed on both sides of the exhaust pipe 10 through bolts;

[0047] Step 4: the clamp 18 is wrapped around the exhaust pipe 10 and respectively passed through the lower part of the vertical part 13 of the two side supports and again through the hole between the two adjacent support rods 7 of the vertical part 13 of the support; the clamp 18 is fixed on the two side supports 6 by adjusting the bolt 17.

[0048] In summary, the applicant finds that the prior art usually adopts the bolt connection method to fix the exhaust pipe on the forklift truck; and due to the low machining precision of the threaded holes on the forklift truck for installing the exhaust pipe or the connecting holes on the exhaust pipe, the installation hole on the exhaust pipe and the threaded hole on the forklift truck usually have misalignment, and this misalignment is random; therefore, during the installation of the exhaust pipe, the above errors can easily cause installation difficulties, and even further machining is required to enlarge the installation hole.

[0049] To this end, the applicant fixedly sets the cylindrical protrusion on the adjusting plate and arranged the cylindrical protrusion in the through hole on the mounting seat; as long as the adjusting plate is rotated, the waist hole on the cylindrical protrusion can be rotated to any position of the through hole on the mounting seat! Therefore, no matter the threaded hole on the forklift truck has errors in any position up and down or left and right, the waist hole can be quickly connected with the threaded hole on the forklift truck!

[0050] Secondly, in the prior art, the exhaust pipe is long, and due to the production precision problem of the exhaust pipe, the thickness of the exhaust pipe may be uneven; therefore, in the prior art, the exhaust pipe is installed through multiple hard installations, which causes large installation vibration of the exhaust pipe, and due to the different thicknesses of the exhaust pipe, the exhaust pipe installation components are difficult to align, which causes installation difficulties and wastes a lot of labor.

[0051] The application is fixed with the support on both sides of the exhaust pipe, and a plurality of support rods are arranged on the vertical part of the support, and the flexible exhaust pipe is flexibly connected on both sides of the support by the flexible hoop. Since the vertical part of the support is provided with a plurality of groups of support rods, and the contraction of the hoop is adjustable, when the exhaust pipe with different thickness is installed, the position of the hoop passing through the different support rods can be adjusted, and the hoop is contracted to be stably installed. Therefore, when the exhaust pipe with different thickness is installed, it can be quickly and stably installed. At the same time, the flexible exhaust pipe is installed on the forklift by the hoop. Therefore, when the forklift moves, the exhaust pipe can be flexibly vibrated under the fixation of the hoop, so that the stability and service life of the exhaust pipe installation are improved.
