The common traction power system of the electric forklift mainly adopts battery power supply, drives the forklift to run through the electric motor, provides more stable power output and faster acceleration performance, and meets the needs of the forklift under different working conditions. The gear pump converts the mechanical energy of the electric motor into hydraulic energy to provide power for the working device of the forklift, such as the lifting and tilting of the forks and the steering system.

[0004] However, this traditional layout has significant shortcomings: the key units (traction reduction box, traction motor, hydraulic motor, etc.) are distributed dispersedly on the vehicle, resulting in complex electrical connection, long and many wire harnesses. This not only increases the electrical energy loss, but also reduces the anti-interference ability. At the same time, each split unit occupies a lot of space in the vehicle, limits the size of the battery pack, and makes it impossible to accommodate large-capacity batteries, thereby shortening the endurance time of the forklift.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the application more clear, the application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the following specific examples are only used to explain the application and do not constitute a limitation on the application.

[0022] In the prior art, a front drive axle 101 and a rear steering axle are respectively installed at the front and rear ends of the forklift chassis, and a traction reduction box 1023 and a traction motor 1022 are dispersedly installed between the front drive axle 101 and the rear steering axle, so that the traction reduction box 1023 and the traction motor 1022 are installed at the front drive axle 101, realizing the traction and auxiliary steering functions of the forklift, the hydraulic pump 1024 and the hydraulic motor 1025 are combined and distributed in the independent area of the chassis of the forklift, participating in the lifting function of the forks, the battery pack 104 is installed in the middle area of the chassis, also occupying an independent area of the chassis, playing a power supply role for the forklift, and the motor controller 1021 is installed side by side at the rear of the forklift chassis, playing a role of adjusting the hydraulic motor 1025 and the traction motor 1022.

[0023] In the above scheme, there are many technical problems: 1) the arrangement of each unit is scattered, and additional installation points need to be added; 2) each unit is large in size and occupies a lot of space in the vehicle; 3) the electrical connection between each unit is complex, with many and long wire harnesses, which is easy to cause power loss and poor anti-interference ability; 4) due to the occupation of a large amount of space in the vehicle by each split unit, the size of the battery pack is limited, large capacity batteries cannot be installed, and the vehicle running time is short.

[0024] As shown in Figures 2-4 , Figures 9-11 The present application proposes an improved compact power system, i.e. the integrated power system 102 of the present application, which comprises a reduction gearbox 1023, a traction motor 1022, a hydraulic motor 1025, a differential assembly 1026 and a hydraulic pump 1024. The reduction gearbox 1023 has opposite first and second power input faces, and also has first and second power output faces. The traction motor 1022 and the hydraulic motor 1025 are connected to the first and second power input faces respectively. The differential assembly 1026 and the hydraulic pump 1024 are connected to the first and second power output faces respectively. The traction motor 1022 and the hydraulic motor 1025 drive the differential assembly 1026 and the hydraulic pump 1024 respectively through the reduction gearbox 1023. Among them, the first and second power output faces are selected on the left and right sides of the reduction gearbox 1023 (this direction is taken as the reference direction), which are large faces of the reduction gearbox 1023, facilitating the installation of different functional driving components on the reduction gearbox 1023. The first power output face is adjacent to the first and second power input faces. The second power output face is located on the same side of the reduction gearbox 1023 as the second power input face. Specifically, the reduction gearbox 1023 can be selected in different shapes, preferably in a square structure. The first power input face corresponds to the first power output face, and the second power input face corresponds to the second power output face. When the traction motor 1022 is installed on the first power input face, the shaft of the traction motor 1022 is transmitted through the gear inside the reduction gearbox 1023 and transmits the torque to the differential assembly 1026 on the first power output face. When the hydraulic motor 1025 is installed on the second power input face, the shaft of the hydraulic motor 1025 is transmitted through the gear inside the reduction gearbox 1023 and transmits the torque to the hydraulic pump 1024 on the second power output face. Figure 4

[0025] Further, the present application takes Figure 4 and Figure 9 ​It can be seen that the first power input surface and the second power input surface are arranged on the left and right sides of the reduction box 1023 respectively, the first power output surface can be arranged at any end of the reduction box 1023, such as the rear end of the reduction box 1023 of the application, the traction motor 1022 inputs power from the left side of the reduction box 1023, and outputs torque from the differential assembly 1026 on the rear side of the reduction box 1023, the hydraulic motor 1025 and the hydraulic pump 1024 are arranged on the right side wall of the reduction box 1023, and the specific positions can be placed by themselves, thereby shortening the torque transmission distance between the hydraulic motor 1025 and the hydraulic pump 1024 and compressing the overall reduction box 1023 space.

[0026] By distributing the traction motor 1022 and the hydraulic motor 1025 on the left and right sides of the reduction box 1023, and sharing the same reduction box 1023, the compactness of the overall structure is improved, and the traction function and the hydraulic function do not affect each other, which is conducive to the wiring and piping of each component of the machine body, simplifies the electrical connection, and also helps to arrange a larger volume of battery on the vehicle body and improve the overall battery capacity.

[0027] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the application comprises a motor controller 1021, which is arranged above the traction motor 1022 and connected to the first power input surface of the reduction box 1023, the motor controller 1021 is installed on the left side of the reduction box 1023, and the position can be selected by itself with the position of the traction motor 1022, in the application, in order to consider the overall weight of the chassis, the traction motor 1022 and the hydraulic motor 1025 are preferably placed at the bottom end of the reduction box 1023, so that the chassis of the vehicle can also bear part of the weight of the traction motor 1022 and the hydraulic motor 1025, the motor controller 1021 is arranged above the traction motor 1022, since the first power input surface only needs to install the traction motor 1022, and the traction motor 1022 is at the bottom end of the reduction box 1023, the motor controller 1021 can be assembled above the traction motor 1022, fully utilizing the space of the first power input surface in the upper half, not only improving the integration of the components, but also shortening the wiring between the motor controller 1021 and the traction motor 1022.

[0028] As shown in Figure 4 , the second power output surface is above the second power input surface, by this scheme, not only can the large size hydraulic motor 1025 be placed at the bottom end of the reduction box 1023, but also the hydraulic pump 1024 can be lifted, which is convenient for connection at the required position of the forklift.

The first shaft gear set comprises a first shaft body 2302 and a driving gear 2303, the first shaft body 2302 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the reduction box housing 2370, and the driving gear 2303 is installed on the outer wall of the first shaft body 2302. The second shaft gear set comprises a second shaft body 2313, a second shaft driven gear 2312 and a second shaft driving gear 2319, the second shaft body 2313 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the reduction box housing 2370, and the second shaft driven gear 2312 and the second shaft driving gear 2319 are both installed on the outer wall of the second shaft body 2313.

[0032] Specifically, the traction motor 1022 is connected with the first shaft body 2302 through the spline shaft 2301, and drives the driving gear 2303 to rotate.

To further improve space utilization on the left and right sides of the reduction gearbox 1023, the first, second, and third shaft gear sets are sequentially connected in a transmission manner.
