Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gearboxes, and in particular to a novel mechanical gearbox structure. Background Art
[0002] In numerous fields, including logistics and warehousing, industrial manufacturing, and cargo handling, forklifts, as key material handling equipment, play a vital role in the smooth operation of production and operational processes through their efficient and stable operation. As a core component of the forklift's powertrain, the performance and reliability of the mechanical transmission directly determine the forklift's overall operating capacity and lifespan.
[0003] With the rapid development of modern industry, forklift usage scenarios are becoming increasingly diverse and complex. Forklifts frequently lift, lower, and transport cargo, as well as operate under diverse terrain and operating conditions. This requires mechanical transmissions to withstand a wide range of loads and varying torque demands. In the design and application of mechanical transmissions, the saddle, a key structural feature, is closely tied to the overall advancement of mechanical transmission technology. Early mechanical transmissions had relatively simple structures and limited functional requirements. The design of the saddle focused primarily on meeting basic connection and support requirements. Its shape and dimensions were often determined based on experience and simple mechanical calculations. It was typically cast in one piece from the same material as the transmission to ensure integrity and structural strength. However, with the rapid advancement of industrial technology, mechanical transmissions face increasingly complex operating conditions and higher performance requirements. The increasing power required for transmission significantly increases the loads on components such as gears and shafts within the transmission, indirectly increasing the forces acting on the saddle.
[0004] The typical thickness of the hole bottom slats will not damage them during normal forklift use. However, some users may use their forklifts as bulldozers, which can damage them if used beyond their intended use. Given the fixed installation dimensions, the slats' structure is limited, and their thickness cannot be increased. To adapt to the complex operating conditions and high reliability requirements of mechanical transmissions in modern industrial applications, slat design and manufacturing technology continues to evolve, evolving from traditional simple structures toward higher strength, multifunctionality, and high reliability. This has become a key research and innovation direction in the field of mechanical transmission technology. Summary of the Invention
