[0002] Currently, aerial work platforms are used in factories, warehouses, supermarkets, and offices. These locations have high requirements for the cleanliness of the ground environment. During the operation of the aerial work platform, there should be no hydraulic oil leakage onto the ground. However, existing aerial work platforms still have leakage problems during operation, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide an aerial work platform that helps to improve the leakage problem of aerial work platforms.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides an aerial work platform, which includes:
[0005] The chassis is equipped with mounting structure components, the bottom of which has a hollowed-out portion;
[0006] The hydraulic cylinder is mounted on the mounting structure and located above the hollowed-out portion;
[0007] A hydraulic cylinder liquid collection assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder liquid receiving component and a liquid baffle. The hydraulic cylinder liquid receiving component is disposed in the hollowed-out portion and has a liquid receiving chamber for receiving the leakage liquid from the hydraulic cylinder. The liquid baffle is disposed on the mounting structure and is used to guide the leakage liquid from the hydraulic cylinder into the liquid receiving chamber.
[0008] In some specific embodiments, the hydraulic cylinder liquid collection assembly includes two baffles spaced apart, with the inner side surfaces of the two baffles defining a liquid guide channel between the inner side surfaces of the two baffles and the outer wall surface of the mounting structure, and the hydraulic cylinder located in the liquid guide channel.
[0009] In some specific embodiments, the lower ends of the two baffles are bent toward each other, so that the lower outlet of the liquid guide channel gradually narrows.
[0010] In some specific embodiments, the hollowed-out portion penetrates the mounting structure along the front-rear direction of the chassis, and the front and rear ends of the liquid receiving cavity extend out of the mounting structure respectively. The two liquid baffles are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction of the chassis and are provided with lower snap-fit openings. The mounting structure is snapped into the lower snap-fit openings to form a front liquid guiding channel and a rear liquid guiding channel with the two liquid baffles. The lower outlets of the front liquid guiding channel and the rear liquid guiding channel are both located above the liquid receiving cavity.
[0011] In some specific embodiments, the hydraulic cylinder fluid collection assembly may further include:
[0012] A chute component is disposed in the hollowed-out portion and has a liquid receiving tray chute. The hydraulic cylinder liquid receiving component is slidably disposed in the liquid receiving tray chute and can be removed from the liquid receiving tray chute.
[0013] In some specific embodiments, the liquid receiving tray groove extends through the sliding direction of the hydraulic cylinder liquid receiving component, and the hydraulic cylinder liquid collection assembly further includes a liquid receiving component limiting component for limiting the hydraulic cylinder liquid receiving component, the liquid receiving component limiting component being disposed on the inner side of the liquid receiving tray groove along the sliding direction.
[0014] In some specific embodiments, the hydraulic cylinder liquid collection assembly further includes:
[0015] The locking structure has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking structure can lock the hydraulic cylinder receiving component in the receiving tray groove. In the unlocked state, the hydraulic cylinder receiving component can be pulled out from the receiving tray groove.
[0016] In some specific embodiments, the locking structure includes:
[0017] Locking components;
[0018] A locking shaft is movably inserted in the locking assembly and is capable of moving axially; one end of the locking shaft is provided with an enlarged diameter shaft head.
[0019] An elastic element, one end of which abuts against the expanded diameter shaft head, and the other end of which abuts against the locking assembly;
[0020] In the locked state, the expanding shaft head extends to the front of the groove of the liquid receiving tray and limits the liquid receiving component of the hydraulic cylinder in the groove; in the unlocked state of the locking structure, the expanding shaft head compresses the elastic element and avoids the liquid receiving component of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0021] In some specific embodiments, the locking component includes:
[0022] A fastener is provided on the chassis and has a shaft hole;
[0023] A shaft assembly is disposed in the shaft hole. An end limiting member is provided at the end of the locking shaft away from the expanded diameter shaft head. Retaining rings passing through the locking shaft are respectively provided between the expanded diameter shaft head and one axial side of the shaft assembly, and between the end limiting member and the other axial side of the shaft assembly.
[0024] In some specific embodiments, the hydraulic cylinder liquid collection assembly further includes a plurality of magnets, which are disposed on both sides of the liquid receiving tray groove along the sliding direction.
[0025] Through the above technical solution, the hydraulic cylinder receiving component installed under the cylinder can collect leaked liquid, thereby reducing the risk of leakage during the operation of the aerial work platform. Furthermore, the hydraulic cylinder receiving component is located in the hollowed-out section at the bottom of the mounting structure, making the overall structure of the aerial work platform reasonable and compact, suitable for chassis with limited installation space. In addition, because the mounting structure of the cylinder has a baffle plate, leaked liquid can be collected and guided to the hydraulic cylinder receiving component, preventing leaked liquid from seeping into other parts of the equipment and causing ground pollution.

[0054] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this application.
[0055] In existing technologies, aerial work platforms often experience liquid leakage problems, which contaminate the ground in the working environment, affecting not only the cleanliness of the ground environment but also posing safety issues.
[0056] In view of this, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this application provides an aerial work platform, which includes a chassis 1, a hydraulic cylinder, and a hydraulic cylinder fluid collection assembly. The chassis 1 is provided with a mounting structure 11, the bottom of which has a recessed portion. The hydraulic cylinder is mounted on the mounting structure 11 and located above the recessed portion. The hydraulic cylinder fluid collection assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder fluid receiving component 41 and a baffle plate 43. The hydraulic cylinder fluid receiving component 41 is disposed in the recessed portion and has a fluid receiving chamber for receiving leakage from the hydraulic cylinder. The baffle plate 43 is disposed on the mounting structure 11 and is used to guide the leakage from the hydraulic cylinder into the fluid receiving chamber. Thus, because the hydraulic cylinder fluid receiving component 41 is provided under the hydraulic cylinder, leakage from the hydraulic cylinder can be collected, thereby reducing the risk of leakage during operation of the aerial work platform.
[0057] Because chassis 1 typically requires the arrangement of numerous functional modules, its structure is relatively compact, leaving limited usable space for installing large liquid collection structures. In this application, the hydraulic cylinder fluid receiving component 41 of the aerial work platform is located in a recessed section at the bottom of the mounting structure 11. This eliminates the need to alter the thickness of chassis 1 to install the hydraulic cylinder fluid collection assembly, resulting in a more rational and compact overall structure for the aerial work platform. This design is suitable for chassis 1 with limited installation space and helps reduce manufacturing costs.
[0058] In addition, since the mounting structure 11 of the hydraulic cylinder is equipped with a baffle plate 43, the leaked liquid can be collected and guided to the hydraulic cylinder receiving part 41, which can prevent the leaked liquid from seeping into other parts of the equipment and causing ground pollution.
[0059] The hydraulic cylinder fluid receiving component 41 and the baffle plate 43 can have various structural shapes, and their structures can be designed according to the installation structure of the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder can be a lifting hydraulic cylinder or other functional hydraulic cylinders, etc. The following description uses the lifting hydraulic cylinder 5 as an example to illustrate the hydraulic cylinder fluid collection assembly of this application.
[0060] In some specific embodiments, the hydraulic cylinder fluid collection assembly may include two spaced-apart baffles 43, the inner surfaces of which define a fluid guide channel between themselves and the outer peripheral wall of the mounting structure 11, with the lifting cylinder 5 located within the fluid guide channel. Thus, leakage from the lifting cylinder 5 can be guided from this fluid guide channel into the fluid receiving chamber of the hydraulic cylinder receiving member 41.
[0061] In some specific embodiments, in order to make the structure of the hydraulic cylinder fluid collection assembly more reasonable and compact, suitable for the limited space of the chassis 1, the lower ends of the two baffle plates 43 are bent towards each other, so that the lower outlet of the fluid guide channel gradually narrows. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, since the lifting cylinder 5 is located between the upper ends of the two baffle plates 43, the distance between the upper ends of the two baffle plates 43 is relatively large. By bending the lower ends of the two baffle plates 43 towards each other, the distance between the lower ends of the two baffle plates 43 can be made smaller than the distance between the upper ends of the two baffle plates 43. In this way, the hydraulic cylinder receiving part 41 can be made more compact.
[0062] Optionally, the excavated part can be installed through the mounting structure 11 along the front and rear direction of the chassis 1, and the front and rear ends of the liquid receiving cavity can extend out of the mounting structure 11 respectively. In this way, whether the aerial work platform is going uphill or downhill, the lower outlets of the front liquid guiding channel and the rear liquid guiding channel can be located above the liquid receiving cavity, so that the leaked liquid can be guided into the liquid receiving cavity through the front liquid guiding channel and the rear liquid guiding channel.
[0063] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting structure 11 extends along the left-right direction of the chassis 1, and the surfaces of the two baffle plates 43 extend along the front-back direction of the chassis 1. The two baffle plates 43 are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction of the chassis 1 and are provided with lower snap-fit openings. The mounting structure 11 snaps into the lower snap-fit openings to form a front liquid guiding channel and a rear liquid guiding channel with the two baffle plates 43. The lower outlets of the front liquid guiding channel and the rear liquid guiding channel are both located above the liquid receiving cavity.
[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a rearward liquid guiding channel is formed between the inner rear surface of the two baffle plates 43 and the top and rear sides of the mounting structure 11, and a frontward liquid guiding channel is formed between the inner front surface of the two baffle plates 43 and the top and front sides of the mounting structure 11. That is, the liquid guiding channel includes a connected frontward liquid guiding channel and a rearward liquid guiding channel. The lifting cylinder 5 is installed in the liquid guiding channel, and leaked liquid can be guided from either the frontward or rearward liquid guiding channel to the receiving chamber of the cylinder receiving component 41.
[0065] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the hydraulic cylinder fluid collection assembly may further include a chute 42, which is disposed in the hollowed-out portion and has a fluid receiving tray groove. The hydraulic cylinder fluid receiving component 41 is slidably disposed in the fluid receiving tray groove and can be removed from the fluid receiving tray groove. Since the hydraulic cylinder fluid receiving component 41 can be removed from the chute 42, it is convenient to clean up any leaks.
[0066] In some specific embodiments, to facilitate the manufacture of the slide 42, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the liquid receiving tray groove can extend along the sliding direction of the hydraulic cylinder liquid receiving component 41. In this case, the hydraulic cylinder liquid collection assembly may also include a liquid receiving component limiting member 46 for limiting the liquid receiving component 41. The liquid receiving component limiting member 46 is disposed inside the liquid receiving tray groove along the sliding direction. Thus, when the hydraulic cylinder liquid receiving component 41 is inserted into the liquid receiving tray groove, the liquid receiving component limiting member 46 can restrict the insertion depth of the hydraulic cylinder liquid receiving component 41, thereby limiting the liquid receiving component 41.
[0067] Optionally, the chassis 1 may be provided with a strip hole along the sliding direction of the hydraulic cylinder receiving part 41, and the receiving part limiting part 46 may be adjusted in the strip hole by means of fasteners, so that the position of the receiving part limiting part 46 can be conveniently adjusted, and the structure is more reasonable.
[0068] In some specific embodiments, the hydraulic cylinder liquid collection assembly may further include a locking structure 44, which has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking structure 44 can lock the hydraulic cylinder receiving component 41 in the receiving tray groove. In the unlocked state, the hydraulic cylinder receiving component 41 can be pulled out from the receiving tray groove. This stably confines the hydraulic cylinder receiving component 41 within the sliding groove component 42, preventing it from coming loose during operation. The mounting structure and position of the locking structure 44 can be varied. For example, the locking structure 44 can be mounted on the sliding groove component 42 or the cylinder body of the mounting structure component 11; the locking structure 44 can be a snap-fit structure between the hydraulic cylinder receiving component 41 and the sliding groove component 42; or the locking structure 44 can be a structure independent of the hydraulic cylinder receiving component 41, etc.
[0069] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking structure 44 may include a locking assembly, a locking shaft 441, and an elastic member 442. The locking shaft 441 is movably inserted into the locking assembly and is capable of axial movement. One end of the locking shaft 441 is provided with an expanded diameter shaft head. One end of the elastic member 442 abuts against the expanded diameter shaft head, and the other end of the elastic member 442 abuts against the locking assembly. In the locked state, the expanded diameter shaft head extends to the front of the groove opening of the liquid receiving tray and limits the hydraulic cylinder liquid receiving component 41 within the liquid receiving tray groove. In the unlocked state, the expanded diameter shaft head compresses the elastic member 442 and avoids the hydraulic cylinder liquid receiving component 41. Thus, the hydraulic cylinder liquid receiving component 41 can be locked and limited.
[0070] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in order to facilitate the manufacture and installation of the liquid collection device, the locking assembly includes a fixing member 443 and a shaft assembly 444. The fixing member 443 can be set on the chassis 1 or the mounting structure 11 and is provided with a shaft hole. The shaft assembly 444 is set in the shaft hole. The end of the locking shaft 441 away from the enlarged diameter shaft head is provided with an end limiting member 445.
[0071] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, retaining rings 446 are respectively provided between the expanded diameter shaft head and one axial side of the shaft assembly 444, and between the end limiting member 445 and the other axial side of the shaft assembly 444, which are inserted through the locking shaft 441. The elastic member 442 can abut against the retaining ring 446 and the expanded diameter shaft head, which are relatively close to the expanded diameter shaft head. In this way, the structure of the hydraulic cylinder fluid collection assembly is simpler and more reasonable.
[0072] Optionally, to facilitate manufacturing and reduce manufacturing costs, the hydraulic cylinder receiving part 41, the sliding groove part 42, and the baffle plate 43 can be sheet metal parts. The groove of the sliding groove part 42 has an outwardly bent guide flange, which facilitates the insertion of the hydraulic cylinder receiving part 41.
[0073] Optionally, the hydraulic cylinder receiving component 41 can be a sheet metal part, and the hydraulic cylinder liquid collection assembly can also include multiple magnets 45. The multiple magnets 45 are distributed on both sides of the liquid receiving tray groove along the sliding direction of the hydraulic cylinder receiving component 41, or the multiple magnets 45 can also be embedded in the bottom wall of the liquid receiving tray groove. In this way, the magnets 45 can attract the hydraulic cylinder receiving component 41, thereby eliminating the vibration and noise of the hydraulic cylinder receiving component 41 during the operation of the aerial work platform.
[0074] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the aerial work platform may also include a steering cylinder 2 and a liquid collection device. The steering cylinder 2 is rotatably mounted on the chassis 1, and the liquid collection device is mounted on the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2 and swings synchronously with the steering cylinder 2. The liquid collection device includes a detachable steering cylinder liquid receiving tray 31, which has a liquid receiving chamber for receiving leakage from the steering cylinder 2.
[0075] The steering cylinder 2 is rotatably mounted on the chassis 1. The steering cylinder 2 drives the linkage mechanism to move through its extension and retraction, thereby realizing the steering of the chassis 1. The liquid collection device is mounted on the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2, so that it can swing synchronously with the steering cylinder 2.
[0076] Because the steering cylinder 2 oscillates, if a fixed liquid collection structure is installed below the steering cylinder 2, the liquid collection area of the liquid collection structure would need to cover the movement path area of the steering cylinder 2, resulting in a very large liquid collection structure. Furthermore, based on application requirements and manufacturing cost considerations, the overall structure and volume design of the chassis 1 are often compact and miniaturized as much as possible. However, the chassis 1 typically needs to accommodate many functional modules, leaving limited usable space for installing a large liquid collection structure.
[0077] In the aerial work platform of this application, the liquid collection device is installed on the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2 and swings synchronously with the steering cylinder 2. It can not only collect the leakage of the steering cylinder 2, reducing the risk of leakage of the aerial work platform during operation, but also make the overall structure of the aerial work platform more reasonable and compact, suitable for use on the chassis 1 with limited installation space.
[0078] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2 is provided with a connecting lug 21, and the liquid collection device is mounted on the cylinder body through the connecting lug 21. The connecting lug 21 can be welded to the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2, or the connecting lug 21 can be integrally formed with the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2.
[0079] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the liquid collection device can be fixedly connected to the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2 by means of a ring clamp fitted on the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2.
[0080] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the liquid collection device may further include a liquid receiving tray mounting base 32, on which the steering cylinder liquid receiving tray 31 is detachably mounted. When the liquid receiving chamber is full, the steering cylinder liquid receiving tray 31 can be directly removed for cleaning, making the cleaning operation simple and convenient. The liquid receiving tray mounting base 32 may be provided with a connecting part 321, which is connected to the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting part 321 has a mounting hole for connecting to the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2, thereby enabling it to be connected to the connecting lug 21 by means of fasteners.
[0081] In some specific embodiments, the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2 may be provided with an oil guiding structure (not shown in the figure). The oil guiding structure can guide the fluid leaking from the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2 to the receiving chamber of the liquid collection device. The oil guiding structure can be welded to the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2 or integrally formed on the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2. The structure of the oil guiding structure can be varied, such as a guide plate or a guide column.
[0082] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the liquid collection device also includes a liquid collection tray 33 located below the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2. The liquid collection tray 33 has a liquid outlet, and the steering cylinder receiving tray 31 is located below the liquid outlet. By setting the liquid collection tray 33 and arranging it close to the steering cylinder 2, it is possible to effectively prevent liquid from splashing out when dripping, thus improving the liquid collection effect.
[0083] In some specific embodiments, the liquid collection plate 33 extends along the axial direction of the steering cylinder 2, and the vertical projection shape of the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2 is matched with the vertical projection shape of the liquid collection plate 33. Furthermore, the vertical projection of the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2 is located within the vertical projection of the liquid collection plate 33, thus achieving better liquid collection and a more compact structure.
[0084] Furthermore, in order to make the structure of the liquid collection device more compact, the minimum distance between the edge of the vertical projection of the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2 and the edge of the vertical projection of the liquid collection plate 33 is less than or equal to 20mm.
[0085] Furthermore, due to the inclusion of the liquid collection tray 33, the structure of the steering cylinder liquid receiving tray 31 can be reduced in size, resulting in a more compact liquid collection device. For example, the vertical projected area of the liquid receiving chamber of the steering cylinder liquid receiving tray 31 is less than or equal to half the vertical projected area of the liquid collection tray 33. Figure 3 As shown, the steering cylinder liquid receiving plate 31 can be arranged on one side below the liquid collecting plate 33 along the axial direction of the steering cylinder 2. The other side below the liquid collecting plate 33 can be used to install other structures of the liquid collection device, such as limiting structures.
[0086] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, the connecting part 321 can extend upward from the edge of the liquid collection tray 33, making the structure of the liquid collection device more compact and reasonable.
[0087] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the liquid receiving tray mounting base 32 may be provided with an insertion slot, in which the steering cylinder liquid receiving tray 31 is detachably inserted. The liquid collection device also includes a limiting structure 34, which has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the limiting structure 34 can lock the steering cylinder liquid receiving tray 31 in the insertion slot, and in the unlocked state, the steering cylinder liquid receiving tray 31 can be pulled out from the insertion slot. In this way, the steering cylinder liquid receiving tray 31 can be stably limited in the liquid receiving tray mounting base 32, preventing the steering cylinder liquid receiving tray 31 from coming out during operation. The installation structure and position of the limiting structure 34 can be varied. For example, the limiting structure 34 can be set on the liquid receiving plate mounting seat 32 or the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2; the limiting structure 34 can be a snap-fit structure between the steering cylinder liquid receiving plate 31 and the liquid receiving plate mounting seat 32; or the limiting structure 34 can be a structure set independently of the steering cylinder liquid receiving plate 31, etc.
[0088] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the steering cylinder 2 is arranged along the left-right direction of the chassis 1 and is located above the travel wheels and wheel covers. The fluid collection tray 33 is a flat disc shape. The thickness of the steering cylinder fluid receiving tray 31 is greater than the thickness of the fluid collection tray 33. Thus, the fluid collection tray 33 can extend along the axial direction of the steering cylinder 2 and be arranged in the narrow gap between the steering cylinder 2 and the wheel cover. The steering cylinder fluid receiving tray 31 is arranged along the axial direction of the steering cylinder 2 on the inner side below the fluid collection tray 33. In this way, the outer side below the fluid collection tray 33 can form space to avoid the wheel cover and other components, resulting in a reasonable and compact structure.
[0089] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the limiting structure 34 may include a limiting component, a limiting shaft 341, and an elastic reset member 342. The limiting component may be disposed on the drip tray mounting base 32 or the cylinder body of the steering cylinder 2. The limiting shaft 341 is movably inserted through the limiting component and can move axially. One end of the limiting shaft 341 is provided with an expanded diameter shaft head. One end of the elastic reset member 342 abuts against the expanded diameter shaft head, and the other end of the elastic reset member 342 abuts against the limiting component. When the limiting structure 34 is in the locked state, the expanded diameter shaft head extends to the front of the slot opening and limits the steering cylinder drip tray 31 within the slot. When the limiting structure 34 is in the unlocked state, the expanded diameter shaft head compresses the elastic reset member 342 and avoids the steering cylinder drip tray 31. Thus, the steering cylinder drip tray 31 can be locked and limited.
[0090] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in order to facilitate the manufacture and installation of the liquid collection device, the limiting component may include a bushing fixing member 343 and a bushing 344. The bushing fixing member 343 is disposed on the liquid receiving tray mounting base 32 and has a shaft hole, and the bushing 344 is disposed in the shaft hole. The end of the limiting shaft 341 away from the enlarged diameter shaft head is provided with a locking member 345.
[0091] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, retaining rings 346 are respectively provided between the axial side of the expanding shaft head and the bushing 344, and between the locking member 345 and the bushing 344 on the other axial side, which are inserted through the limiting shaft 341. The elastic reset member 342 can abut against the retaining ring 346 which is relatively close to the expanding shaft head and the expanding shaft head. In this way, the structure of the liquid collection device can be made simpler and more reasonable.
[0092] In some specific embodiments, the steering cylinder fluid receiving plate 31 can be a sheet metal part, and the bottom wall of the insertion slot can be provided with a magnetic part 35 for magnetic adsorption of the steering cylinder fluid receiving plate 31. The magnetic part 35 can be a ring and can be adjusted to a suitable installation height by fasteners and adjusting shims, thereby eliminating the vibration and noise of the steering cylinder fluid receiving plate 31 during the operation of the aerial work platform.
[0093] Optionally, the hydraulic cylinder receiving plate 31 may be equipped with a liquid-absorbing component, such as oil-absorbing cotton, so as to prevent the leakage in the receiving cavity from overflowing during the operation of the aerial work platform.
[0094] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 7 As shown, the aerial work platform includes a chassis 1, a power unit 6, and a liquid collection assembly. The chassis 1 has a maintenance opening and a door 12 that can cover the maintenance opening. The power unit 6 and the liquid collection assembly are respectively housed within the chassis 1, with the liquid collection assembly located below the power unit 6. The liquid collection assembly includes a power unit liquid receiving tray 71 and a liquid receiving tray mounting component 72. The liquid receiving tray mounting component 72 has a liquid receiving tray groove, and the power unit liquid receiving tray 71 is slidably disposed within the liquid receiving tray groove and has a liquid receiving cavity for receiving leakage from the power unit 6. This allows for the collection of leakage from the power unit, thereby reducing the risk of leakage during aerial work platform operations.
[0095] Since the power unit 6 is usually located relatively close to the center of the chassis 1, the power unit liquid receiving tray 71 can usually only be removed in the left-right direction of the chassis 1. Because the chassis 1 usually needs to accommodate a large number of functional modules, the structure of the chassis 1 is relatively compact, the dimensions of the chassis 1 in the left-right direction are small, and the remaining usable space in the chassis 1 is often small, making it difficult to install a limiting structure to limit the power unit liquid receiving tray 71.
[0096] Furthermore, the chassis 1 typically has maintenance openings and doors 12 that can cover the maintenance openings on its left and right sides. Therefore, the door 12 of the aerial work platform of this application is designed to lock the power unit drip tray 71 in the drip tray groove when closed, and the power unit drip tray 71 can be pulled out from the drip tray groove when the door 12 is open. This eliminates the need for additional limiting structures in the chassis 1, resulting in a reasonable and compact overall structure for the aerial work platform, suitable for chassis with limited installation space.
[0097] It should be noted that the aerial work platform can be, for example, a mast-type aerial work platform or a scissor lift platform. The respective structures of the power unit 6 and the chassis 1, as well as the rotating connection structure between them, can vary greatly. This is well known to those skilled in the art and is not part of the core improvement of this application, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0098] In some specific embodiments, to facilitate the manufacture of the liquid receiving tray mounting component 72, such as Figure 7 As shown, the liquid receiving tray groove can extend along the sliding direction of the power unit liquid receiving tray 71. At this time, the liquid collection assembly also includes a liquid receiving tray limiting member 73 for limiting the power unit liquid receiving tray 71. The liquid receiving tray limiting member 73 is disposed inside the liquid receiving tray groove along the sliding direction. Thus, when the power unit liquid receiving tray 71 is inserted into the liquid receiving tray groove, the liquid receiving tray limiting member 73 can limit the insertion depth of the power unit liquid receiving tray 71, thereby limiting the position of the power unit liquid receiving tray 71.
[0099] Optionally, the chassis 1 may be provided with a strip-shaped hole along the sliding direction of the liquid receiving tray 71 of the power unit, and the liquid receiving tray limiting member 73 may be adjusted in the strip-shaped hole by means of fasteners, so that the position of the liquid receiving tray limiting member 73 can be conveniently adjusted, and the structure is more reasonable.
[0100] Optionally, to facilitate manufacturing and reduce manufacturing costs, the power unit drip tray 71 and the drip tray mounting component 72 can be sheet metal parts. The groove of the drip tray mounting component 72 is provided with an outwardly bent guide flange, thereby facilitating the insertion of the power unit drip tray 71.
[0101] Optionally, the power unit liquid receiving tray 71 can be a sheet metal part, and the hydraulic cylinder liquid collection assembly can also include multiple magnets 74. The multiple magnets 74 are distributed on both sides of the liquid receiving tray groove along the sliding direction of the power unit liquid receiving tray 71, or the multiple magnets 74 can also be embedded in the bottom wall of the liquid receiving tray groove. In this way, the magnets 74 can attract the power unit liquid receiving tray 71, thereby eliminating the vibration and noise of the power unit liquid receiving tray 71 during the operation of the aerial work platform.
[0102] Optionally, for ease of opening, the door body 12 may be pivotally connected to the chassis 1. Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the door body 12 and the chassis 1 may be detachably connected by fasteners.
[0103] In summary, the aerial work platform of this application is equipped with devices for collecting leaks from the steering cylinder, lifting cylinder, and power unit, which can significantly improve the overall liquid leakage collection efficiency of the aerial work platform and has good application prospects in work environments with high requirements. Furthermore, all liquid-receiving components of the device are detachable, facilitating cleaning and return of the collected leaked liquid, making operation simple and maintenance convenient. The bottom of the device uses magnetic components to attract the liquid-receiving components, preventing vibration and noise during operation. Additionally, limiters are located on all four sides to eliminate the risk of the liquid-receiving components falling off during operation.
