Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of forklifts, in particular to a truck-mounted forklift and its control method. Background Art

[0002] A truck-mounted forklift is one that follows a freight truck and can unstack the goods on a pallet from the truck carriage and transport them to a fixed position on the ground, or transport and stack the goods on a pallet on the ground onto the truck carriage. The truck-mounted forklift can climb onto the truck carriage. However, when the truck-mounted forklift needs to enter deep into the carriage, the driver needs to manually pull and extend the load-bearing wheel mechanism during the process of getting on and off the vehicle to avoid the carriage floor. For example, the authorized publication number CN113860219B discloses a truck-mounted forklift for loading and unloading goods along with the vehicle and its working method, which records that "manually pull the third handle outwards to slide out the support rod so that the end of the support rod does not exceed the front side of the main frame. Press the down button again, and the main frame continues to move up. When the fork arm reaches the lowest point of the main frame, release the down button and push the support rod inwards so that the support wheel contacts the carriage panel. Then press the up button, and the fork arm will lift the goods and separate them from the panel by a small distance. Hold the second handle and push the forklift into the carriage so that the goods are placed in a suitable position, and at the same time, the forklift completes the action of getting on the vehicle."

[0003] This process requires the driver to operate the lifting mechanism back and forth and manually pull and extend the support rod, consuming a lot of physical strength of the driver and being extremely inconvenient to operate;

[0004] Secondly, the driver also needs to hold the second handle and push the forklift into the carriage so that the driving wheels enter the carriage. However, under the influence of the self-weight of the truck-mounted forklift, the process of manually pulling the truck-mounted forklift into or out of the carriage is time-consuming and laborious. During the process of getting on and off the vehicle, affected by factors such as improper operation and vehicle instability, the truck-mounted forklift often tilts from the truck, posing a great safety hazard to the operators.

[0066] The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0067] See Figure 1 -3, the present invention provides a forklift truck for vehicle, including a base 10, a carrier wheel mechanism and a first driving member, wherein:

[0068] Limit grooves 11 are symmetrically formed on the base 10. The carrier wheel mechanism includes a fixed seat 20 and traveling legs 21. The traveling legs 21 are symmetrically fixed on the fixed seat 20, and the two traveling legs 21 respectively penetrate through the limit grooves 11 and extend to the outside of the base 10. In the embodiment provided by the present application, the limit grooves 11 can connect the carrier wheel mechanism with the base 10. When moving the carrier wheel mechanism, the limit grooves 11 also have a certain guiding effect, enabling the traveling legs 21 to move in the limit grooves 11 to avoid deviation.

[0069] The first driving member is provided on the base 10 , and the output end of the first driving member is connected to the fixing seat 20 . The first driving member fixing seat 20 moves, thereby causing the walking leg 21 to move along the length direction thereof in the limiting slot 11 . During the process of getting on and off the vehicle, the truck forklift needs to move the load-bearing wheel mechanism back and forth relative to the base 10 to avoid the car floor. The first driving member is fixed on the base 10, and the output end of the first driving member is connected to the fixed seat 20. When the truck forklift is in driving state, the front end of the walking leg 21 is away from the base 10, and the fixed seat 20 is close to the base 10. During the process of getting on and off the vehicle, the first driving member drives the fixed seat 20 to move, and the walking leg 21 moves in the limiting groove 11 along the length direction of the walking leg 21, so that the front end of the walking leg 21 moves from away from the base 10 to close to the base 10, or the front end of the walking leg 21 moves from close to the base 10 to away from the base 10, so as to avoid the car floor. The load-bearing wheel mechanism is driven to move by the first driving member, which eliminates the tediousness of manual pulling and saves time and effort.

[0070] After the load-bearing wheel mechanism enters the carriage, if the truck-mounted forklift needs to enter the interior of the carriage, or go down from the interior of the carriage, it is necessary to manually push the truck-mounted forklift to move the drive wheel mechanism 60 into or out of the carriage. Due to the large weight of the truck-mounted forklift, manual pulling poses an operational risk. In this application, load-bearing wheels 22 are respectively provided on the two walking legs 21, and a second driving member is provided on the fixed seat 20. The output end of the second driving member is connected to at least one load-bearing wheel 22, and the second driving member drives the load-bearing wheel 22 to rotate. By driving at least one load-bearing wheel 22 to rotate by the second driving member, the load-bearing wheel 22 moves forward or backward, thereby bringing the drive wheel mechanism 60 into or out of the carriage, greatly improving the flexibility of the truck-mounted forklift in loading and unloading scenarios, without relying on manual push, reducing the labor intensity of the operator, and improving work efficiency. In addition, since the horizontal plane of the lowest end of the base 10 is higher than the horizontal plane of the lowest end of the load-bearing wheel 22, when the load-bearing wheel mechanism moves to the front end of the walking leg 21 close to the base 10, the walking leg 21 will not disengage from the limiting groove 11. However, in order to better avoid the floor of the carriage, the bottom of the base 10 can be recessed inward so that at least part of the walking leg 21 and the load-bearing wheel 22 can be moved into the base 10. The specific structure is not limited here.

[0071] In one possible implementation, see Figure 2As shown in Fig. -3, the first driving member includes an electric push rod 31 and a first motor 30. The first motor 30 is arranged on the base 10. The input end of the electric push rod 31 is connected to the first motor 30, and the output end of the electric push rod 31 is connected to the fixing seat 20. The first motor 30 can be fixed in the middle of the base 10 or at a position close to the edge. In the embodiment provided in the present application, the first motor 30 is fixed at a position close to the edge of the base 10. The electric push rod 31 pushes the fixing seat 20, which can drive the two walking legs 21 to move simultaneously. The electric push rod 31 has a high positioning accuracy and can accurately control the moving distance and position of the fixing seat 20 according to actual requirements. The first motor 30 can accurately adjust the telescopic amount of the electric push rod 31 according to preset parameters, so that the load wheel mechanism can accurately reach the specified position. In addition, the first driving member can also be a cylinder or other transmission mechanisms, as long as the output end has the function of reciprocating linear motion, which is not limited here.

[0072] In a feasible implementation manner, refer to Figure 2 As shown in Fig. -3, the second driving member includes an electromagnetic clutch 40, a first sprocket 41, a chain 42, a speed reducer 44 and a second motor 45, where: the electromagnetic clutch 40 is arranged on one side of the load wheel 22, and the side of the electromagnetic clutch 40 facing away from the load wheel 22 is connected to the sprocket. The speed reducer 44 is arranged on the fixing seat 20, and the second motor 45 is arranged on the speed reducer 44. The speed reducer 44 includes a second sprocket 43. One end of the chain 42 is connected to the first sprocket 41, and the other end of the chain 42 passes through the limit groove 11 and is connected to the second sprocket 43. In the embodiment provided in the present application, the second motor 45 is used as the power source. The second motor 45 is directly installed on the speed reducer 44 to transmit power to the speed reducer 44. The speed reducer 44 can reduce the speed and increase the torque. The chain 42 is wound around the second sprocket 43 and the first sprocket 41 to form a transmission connection. The first sprocket 41 is connected to the electromagnetic clutch 40. When the electromagnetic clutch 40 is energized and engaged, the rotation of the first sprocket 41 drives the electromagnetic clutch 4 to rotate together, and the electromagnetic clutch 40 further transmits power to the load wheel 22, causing the load wheel 22 to start rotating; when the electromagnetic clutch 40 is de-energized and disengaged, the rotation of the first sprocket 41 will not be transmitted to the load wheel 22, and the load wheel 22 stops rotating. The setting of the electromagnetic clutch 40 enables the rotation of the load wheel 22 to be flexibly controlled. When the load wheel 22 of the forklift truck does not need to rotate, the power supply of the electromagnetic clutch 40 can be cut off to separate the load wheel 22 from the power transmission system, avoiding unnecessary rotation and improving the flexibility and safety of operation.

[0073] As a preferred method, refer to Figure 1As shown in FIG. -3, the first driving member and the second driving member are not arranged on the same side. If the first driving member is arranged on the right side of the base 10, the second driving member is connected to the left carrier wheel 22. The purpose is that the first driving member is mainly used to drive the carrier wheel mechanism to move back and forth on the base 10, and the second driving member is used to drive the carrier wheel 22 to rotate. By arranging them on both sides respectively, when the electric push rod 31 pushes the fixed seat 20, the chain 42 connected to the carrier wheel 22 on the other side can play a role of guiding and limiting. The two driving systems can work together to make the device structure more stable. In addition, in order to enable the output end of the electric push rod 31 to be connected to the fixed seat 20, the reduction gearbox can be installed on the fixed seat 20, and due to the horizontal arrangement of the first sprocket 41 and the second sprocket 43 connected by the chain 42, the shapes of the two walking legs 21 and the fixed seat 20 can be adjusted accordingly. The specific structure is not limited herein.

[0074] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 FIG. -3, an outer door frame 50 is provided on the base 10, and a lifting mechanism is provided on the outer door frame 50. The outer door frame 50 is used to install the lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism controls the lifting of goods. The lifting mechanism in this embodiment can be any one in the prior art.

[0075] Further, as shown in Figure 1 FIG. -3, the lifting mechanism includes a fork carriage 51 and a lifting drive unit 52. The lifting drive unit 52 is used to drive the fork carriage 51 to move on the outer door frame 50. The size of the fork carriage 51 is adapted to the walking leg 21. One side of the fork carriage 51 facing the carrier wheel 22 is recessed inward to adapt to the shape of the walking leg 21. The purpose is that when the fork carriage 51 descends to the lowest point, it can completely cover the walking leg 21, so as to facilitate inserting the pallet of the goods.

[0076] Further, as shown in Figure 2 FIG. -3, a driving wheel mechanism 60 is provided at the middle position of the bottom of the base 10. The driving wheel mechanism 60 is used to drive the forklift truck to move or turn. The driving wheel mechanism 60 can be any one in the prior art. In this embodiment, a single driving wheel mechanism is adopted. When the carrier wheel mechanism enters the carriage, the driving wheel in the driving wheel mechanism 60 still remains outside the carriage. When it is necessary to move the driving wheel in or out, the forklift truck needs to be manually pulled. In this embodiment, the second driving member drives the carrier wheel 22 to rotate, and the driving wheel is brought into or out of the carriage by the forward and backward movement of the carrier wheel 22, avoiding the danger of manual operation.

[0077] As shown in Figure 1As shown in FIGS. -3, a controller 70 is provided on the base 10. The controller 70 is electrically connected to the first driving member, the second driving member, the electromagnetic clutch 40, the lifting mechanism, and the driving wheel mechanism 60 respectively. By controlling each driving unit through the controller 70, precise control, improved safety, increased work efficiency, and convenient fault diagnosis can be achieved.

[0078] Based on the above embodiments, the working process of the present invention is as follows:

[0079] 1. The on-vehicle forklift climbs from the ground to the inside of the truck carriage:

[0080] The controller 70 controls the lifting mechanism to lift the goods to a height higher than the carriage. The first motor 30 is driven to drive the electric push rod 31 to push the fixed seat 20 away from the base 10. The walking leg 21 moves in the limit groove 11 and stops when the bearing wheel 22 approaches the base 10. The lifting mechanism is controlled to continue rising. When the lowest surface of the bearing wheel 22 is higher than the carriage, the first motor 30 is driven to drive the electric push rod 31 to retract, so that the fixed seat 20 approaches the base 10 and the walking leg 21 moves into the carriage. During the movement, the electromagnetic clutch 40 is powered off to make the bearing wheel 22 immovable. When the bearing wheel mechanism enters the carriage, the electromagnetic clutch 40 is powered on. The controller 70 controls the second motor 45 to rotate forward. The bearing wheel 22 rotates under the action of the second motor 45, the speed reducer 44, the second sprocket 43, the chain 42, the first sprocket 41, and the electromagnetic clutch 40, so as to drive the driving wheel mechanism 60 into the carriage interior;

[0081] 2. The on-vehicle forklift descends from the inside of the carriage to the ground:

[0082] The controller 70 controls the electromagnetic clutch 40 to be powered on and controls the second motor 45 to rotate reversely. The bearing wheel 22 rotates reversely to drive the on-vehicle forklift to move towards the edge of the carriage and stops until the driving wheel mechanism 60 leaves the carriage. The electromagnetic clutch 40 is cut off. The controller 70 controls the first motor 30 to drive the electric push rod 31 to push the fixed seat 20 to the side away from the base 10 and stops when the bearing wheel 22 approaches the base 10. The lifting mechanism is driven to lower the bearing wheel mechanism to near the lower surface of the carriage and stops. The first motor 30 is driven to drive the electric push rod 31 to retract until the fixed seat 20 approaches the base 10 and stops. The lifting mechanism is driven to continue descending until the bearing wheel mechanism and the driving wheel mechanism 60 reach the ground.

[0083] The present invention also provides a control method for the on-vehicle forklift, which can be used to control the above-mentioned on-vehicle forklift. The control method includes:

[0084] S1: Monitoring the vehicle driving potential signal C1:

[0085] When 2.5V < C1 ≤ 5V and C1 increases from small to large, the vehicle is driven forward;

[0086] When 0V < C1 < 2.5V and C1 decreases from a large value, the vehicle travels backward.

[0087] In this embodiment, the drive wheel mechanism includes a traction motor, a reduction gearbox, and drive wheels. When the vehicle travels forward or backward, the traction motor drives the drive wheels to rotate through the reduction gearbox.

[0088] In step S1, when moving forward, the target speed of the traction motor in the drive wheel mechanism is:

[0089] n 牵引1 = ((C1 - 2.5) / 2.5) * n max ,

[0090] where: n 牵引1 is the target speed of the traction motor for the vehicle to travel forward, and n max is the speed of the traction motor corresponding to the maximum traveling speed of the vehicle;

[0091] When moving backward, the target speed of the traction motor is:

[0092] n 牵引2 = ((2.5 - C1) / 2.5) * n max ,

[0093] where n 牵引2 is the target speed of the traction motor for the vehicle to travel backward, and n max is the speed of the traction motor corresponding to the maximum traveling speed of the vehicle.

[0094] S2: Monitor the retraction request signal C2 of the carrier wheel mechanism and the retraction speed limit signal C3 of the carrier wheel mechanism:

[0095] In this embodiment, the carrier wheel mechanism includes a fixed seat and walking legs. The walking legs are symmetrically fixed on the fixed seat. The two walking legs are respectively arranged through the base along the length direction. Carrier wheels are respectively arranged on the two walking legs. The first motor is arranged on the base. The input end of the electric push rod is connected to the first motor, and the output end of the electric push rod is connected to the fixed seat;

[0096] When C2 = 1 and C3 = 0, the first motor drives the electric push rod to push the fixed seat away from the base;

[0097] When the distance between the carrier wheel and the base is less than or equal to 100mm, C3 = 1, and the carrier wheel mechanism decelerates and retracts, that is, when the electric push rod pushes the fixed seat to an approaching limit state away from the base, it decelerates. When the distance between the carrier wheel and the base is less than or equal to 100mm, C3 = 1, and the carrier wheel mechanism decelerates and retracts;
