[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a high-voltage lithium-ion off-road telescopic forklift. Traditional off-road forklifts mostly adopt a single drive mode and steering method, which are difficult to adapt to complex terrains and narrow space operations. In the present invention, the chassis drive part adopts a front drive and steering axle and a rear drive and steering axle integrated with the reduction gearbox. The traction motor is directly connected to the reduction gearbox of the front axle, and power transmission is achieved through a drive shaft. At the same time, an electric push rod controls the clutch, which can quickly switch between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive modes to meet the power requirements under different working conditions. The front and rear axles are independently controllable for steering, and have three steering modes: single front-wheel steering, crab steering, and four-wheel concentric steering. Cooperating with the angle sensor on the steering kingpin to real-time feedback angle data, precise steering control is achieved. The present invention uses a high-voltage lithium battery as the core power source, which is arranged at the bottom of the right box body, and adopts a customized low center of gravity and flattened design. Cooperating with the modular structure and high-voltage connectors, it not only reduces the center of gravity of the whole vehicle and improves the driving stability, but also facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the battery.

[0016] The present invention provides a high-voltage lithium-ion off-road telescopic forklift. By providing a heat dissipation and dust removal component, when the coolant flows in the horizontal heat dissipation rod, the driving impeller is driven to rotate by the fluid power, and through precise cooperation with the transmission mechanism and the reciprocating screw rod, the heat dissipation and dust removal component is driven to perform a reciprocating linear motion along the sliding groove. The cleaning brush on the component synchronously performs high-frequency cleaning on the surface of the dust-proof cover, automatically removing the attached dust and debris, ensuring the continuous smoothness of the ventilation channel, and avoiding the attenuation of the heat dissipation efficiency caused by dust accumulation.

[0017] The present invention provides a high-voltage lithium-ion off-road telescopic forklift. By providing an arc-shaped plate, when the driving impeller rotates, it drives the arc-shaped plate to vibrate, causing the air flow inside the arc-shaped plate to become chaotic and form a turbulent flow, breaking the normal state of air flow. This turbulent flow can enhance the contact and heat exchange between air, coolant, and heat dissipation components, allowing air to more fully absorb the heat in the coolant, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect, contributing to maintaining the stable operation of the liquid cooling system, ensuring the normal working temperature of the equipment. The change in air flow generated by the vibration of the arc-shaped plate can, to a certain extent, increase the overall air flow rate of the heat dissipation system. More air participates in the heat exchange process, effectively removing the hot air around the equipment and introducing cold air, further optimizing the heat dissipation environment, improving the heat dissipation efficiency, reducing the formation of hot spots, and making the equipment heat dissipation more uniform.

The controller adjusts the rotation speed of the fan and the flow rate of the coolant according to the preset temperature range to ensure that the heat-generating components work within a suitable temperature range.

[0035] The specific usage method of the present invention: The chassis drive part takes the front drive steering axle (13) and the rear drive steering axle (12) as the core. The traction motor is directly installed on the reduction gearbox integrated on the front axle. After the power generated by the motor is torque-amplified and speed-regulated by the reduction gearbox, it is transmitted to the rear axle through the drive shaft to realize the front and rear axle distribution of power. The electric push rod cooperates with the clutch to realize the function switching between four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive. When stronger driving force and off-road performance are required, the electric push rod pushes the clutch so that the front and rear axles obtain power simultaneously, switching to four-wheel drive mode; under general working conditions, it can be switched to two-wheel drive mode to reduce energy consumption. Both the front and rear axles are steering drive axles, and the steering can be controlled independently. Independent front-wheel steering is suitable for steering operations in narrow spaces; when in crab steering, the front and rear wheels steer at the same angle, facilitating the lateral movement of the vehicle in narrow channels; four-wheel concentric steering can achieve the vehicle's in-situ steering with the minimum radius. The angle sensor on the kingpin monitors the wheel steering angle in real time and feeds the data back to the vehicle control system to ensure the accuracy of the steering operation. The boom part (16) adopts a telescopic boom structure and is powered by an oil cylinder to achieve telescoping. The telescopic boom is fixed at the hinge point of the vehicle frame, and the luffing oil cylinder pushes it to perform pitching movements to adjust the height and angle of the fork (17). The compensation oil cylinder and the leveling oil cylinder work together to form a double-oil-cylinder hydraulic automatic leveling system. During the luffing process of the telescopic boom, the compensation oil cylinder and the leveling oil cylinder adjust in real time according to the angle change to ensure that the fork is always parallel to the chassis, preventing the goods from falling and ensuring the safety and stability of the operation. The two hydraulic pipelines with quick connectors reserved on the transition frame are controlled by the rollers on the cab operation handle to flexibly control other actions of the fork, such as the side shift and rotation of the fork, to meet different operation requirements. The cab (14) is suspended and connected to the vehicle frame through four shock pads, effectively reducing the vibration during vehicle driving and providing a comfortable driving environment for the driver. The cab is equipped with a suspended and adjustable ergonomic seat, which can be adjusted according to the driver's body type and needs. When the steering wheel rotates, it drives the full-hydraulic steering gear to work, and transmits the steering force to the wheels through the hydraulic pipeline to realize vehicle steering. The multifunctional color display screen real-time displays parameters such as the vehicle's driving speed, battery power, working status, fault information, and axle steering angle. The driver can set and adjust various vehicle parameters through touching the screen, with convenient and fast operation. The display screen also has a voice prompt function. When the vehicle has a fault or abnormal situation, it timely reminds the driver to take measures. The display screen communicates with the vehicle control system through the CAN bus to ensure the real-time and accurate transmission of data, and at the same time has data storage and analysis functions, providing a basis for vehicle maintenance and management. In addition, the air-conditioning device (15) fixedly connected to the rear end of the cab creates a comfortable temperature environment for the driver. Inside the right box body (11), key components such as a battery pack (23), an oil pump motor (21), an oil pump, a multi-way valve, a PDU power management module (22), an on-vehicle charger (19), and a liquid cooling system (20) are integrated. The high-voltage lithium battery is arranged at the bottom of the right box body and integrated with a DC charging port, enabling charging through an external power source. The battery pack adopts a modular design, with each module containing multiple single cells, and the modules are connected through high-voltage connectors for easy battery maintenance and replacement. The battery management system (BMS) monitors parameters such as the voltage, current, temperature, and SOC (state of charge) of the battery in real time, and protects the battery against overcharging, over-discharging, over-current, and short circuits to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the battery. The oil pump motor (21) operates powered by the battery pack, driving the oil pump to provide pressurized oil for the vehicle's hydraulic system. The flow direction and pressure of the hydraulic oil are controlled through the multi-way valve to achieve control of various hydraulic actuators such as chassis drive and boom movement. The PDU power management module (22) is responsible for distributing and managing the electrical energy of the battery pack to ensure stable power supply to each electrical device. The traction motor is a liquid-cooled high-speed permanent magnet synchronous motor, and the liquid cooling system (20) adopts an independent circulation loop. The circulating water pump (25) drives the coolant to circulate in the cooling channels inside the motor, taking away the heat generated by the motor. The flow rate of the coolant can be intelligently adjusted according to the real-time temperature of the motor. When the motor temperature rises, the coolant flow rate is increased to enhance heat dissipation; when the temperature drops, the flow rate is reduced to lower energy consumption. The temperature sensor and flow sensor equipped in the liquid cooling system monitor the temperature and flow rate of the coolant in real time and feed the data back to the vehicle's control system. When the coolant temperature exceeds 60°C or the flow rate is lower than 5 liters per minute, the control system issues an alarm and takes corresponding protection measures, such as reducing the motor power to prevent the motor from overheating and being damaged.

[0036] The heat dissipation system of the liquid cooling system includes a first water tank (26) and a second water tank (27), between which horizontal heat dissipation rods (34) are vertically arranged in an array. A reciprocating lead screw (36) on the horizontal heat dissipation rod drives a heat dissipation and dust removal assembly (33) to reciprocate in a sliding groove (37). A drive motor (35) drives a blade (31) to rotate, generating an air flow. The air flow passes through the first water tank and the second water tank, taking away the heat in the coolant. When the coolant moves from the first water tank (26) to the horizontal heat dissipation rod (34) and makes an S-shaped movement on the horizontal heat dissipation rod (34), when the coolant flows in the horizontal heat dissipation rod (34), it will drive a drive impeller (49) to rotate, and after the drive impeller (49) rotates, it will cooperate with the reciprocating lead screw (36) to rotate. After the drive impeller (49) rotates, it will drive a cleaning brush (42) on the heat dissipation and dust removal assembly (33) to reciprocate, cleaning the dust on a dust-proof cover (32), keeping the ventilation smooth, improving the heat dissipation efficiency, and after the drive impeller (49) rotates, it will drive an arc-shaped plate (46) to form a jitter. When jittering, it will make the internal air flow chaotic, thereby enhancing the air circulation effect.

[0037] The reduction gearbox can be arranged at the middle position between the front axle and the rear axle and is connected to the front and rear axles through a drive shaft. It adopts a multi-stage planetary gear transmission structure, having the advantages of high transmission efficiency, large torque, and small volume. The gears are made of high-quality alloy steel, processed precisely and heat-treated, with high wear resistance and anti-fatigue performance; the housing is made of high-strength aluminum alloy material, precisely cast and machined mechanically, having good heat dissipation performance and lightweight effect. The input shaft and the output shaft adopt a spline connection method to ensure reliable power transmission. The internal lubricating oil circuit and oil pump lubricate and cool the gears and bearings, improving the service life of the reduction gearbox. An oil temperature sensor and an oil level sensor monitor the temperature and oil level of the lubricating oil in real time and feed the data back to the vehicle control system. When the oil temperature exceeds 80 °C or the oil level is lower than the lowest scale, the control system issues an alarm and takes corresponding protection measures, such as reducing the vehicle load or stopping for inspection.

Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art.
