[0002] Forklifts are industrial handling vehicles, which refer to various wheeled handling vehicles that load, unload, stack and transport palletized goods over short distances. They are often used to transport large objects in warehouses and are usually powered by fuel engines or batteries.

[0003] When using a forklift, the forklift's turning performance is generally tested. The test can be used to evaluate the forklift's overall performance and determine its minimum turning radius. The smaller the turning radius, the higher the forklift's flexibility. When testing, first drive the forklift to an open area, turn the steering wheel fully when it is unloaded and at low speed, so that the steering wheel is at the maximum turning angle, and then start the forklift. The forklift will rotate in a circle on the ground. After one circle, a circle is obtained based on the tire mark, and then the radius of the circle is tested.

[0036] Working principle of the present invention: In the initial state, spring 1 314 is in tensioned state. When the forklift is driven to the specified position, it is difficult to manually adjust the center of connecting rod 2 2 and the center of wheel hub to be in the same plane and there is a certain error. By fixing the auxiliary positioning mechanism 7 to the center of wheel hub on one side of the forklift, the auxiliary positioning mechanism 7 is tilted at this time, and then the driving mechanism 8 is started. The driving mechanism 8 drives the slider 13 connected to the connecting rod 2 2 to move in the vertical direction. At the same time, the support rod 313 slides in the insertion rod 312, and the spring 1 314 is compressed. When the auxiliary positioning mechanism 7 is horizontal, the connecting rod 2 2 and the center of the wheel hub are in the same horizontal plane. At the same time, the power conversion mechanism 31 changes the driving mechanism 8 from driving the connecting rod 2 2 to move up and down to driving the moving mechanism 9.

At this time, the fixing mechanism 6 to the wheel hub is completed, and then the fixing between the square sleeve 1 32 and the extension rod 33, the L-shaped rod 3 and the connecting rod 2 2 is released. Since the L-shaped connecting rod 2 5 is fixed to the L-shaped connecting rod 1 4, the fixing between the L-shaped connecting rod 2 5 and the wheel hub will not be affected. Then the forklift turns the steering wheel fully, and the forklift stops after turning one circle, as shown in the attached instructions. Fig.16 As shown, C represents a forklift, point A represents the center point of a circle, A is unknown in a specific test, R is the minimum turning radius and is unknown, point B represents the position of the fixed column 1, L1 is the maximum value, and L2 is the minimum value. During the rotation of the forklift, since the fixed column 1 is not at the center position of the circle, the maximum and minimum values ​​passing through the center point A will be generated during the movement, and the adjustment mechanism 21 will record the maximum and minimum values ​​of the fixed column 1 and the L-shaped connecting rod 2 5. The maximum and minimum values ​​here are the length of the connecting rod 2 2 plus the length of the L-shaped rod 3 exposed outside the connecting rod 2 2. The length here is the length on the same line as the wheel hub, excluding the length connected to the L-shaped connecting rod 1 4, plus the distance between the two wheel hubs of the forklift. The distance between the two wheel hubs can be calculated by the L-shaped connecting rod 1 4 and the L-shaped connecting rod 2 5, or the distance between the two wheel hubs can be directly measured. The adjustment mechanism 21 records the length of the L-shaped rod 3 exposed outside the connecting rod 2 2. At this time, the sum of L1 and L2 is the diameter of the circle, and half of the diameter is the minimum turning radius R.
