The power supply generally uses batteries. The forklift body is provided with a cab, a battery compartment and a gantry, wherein the battery compartment is arranged between the cab and the gantry. Since conventional batteries have a relatively low energy density and a large volume, the height of the battery compartment needs to be arranged higher, which will hinder the field of vision between the cab and the gantry. At the same time, a wheel body is generally provided at the bottom of the support leg on the front side of the vehicle body, and it is also necessary to transmit electrical energy to the wheel body through wires. In order to protect the wires, it is usually necessary to lay the wires in the support legs. Therefore, the wires need to be laid in advance before installing the support legs, and the installation and maintenance thereof are relatively troublesome. Summary of the invention

[0022] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a lithium battery forklift structure includes a chassis assembly 1, a mast assembly 2 and a body assembly 3. The chassis assembly 1 includes a chassis 11 and a support leg 12 located at the front side of the chassis 11. The bottom of the chassis 11 is provided with a first wheel body 111, and the bottom of the front end of the support leg 12 is provided with a second wheel body 121. The mast assembly 2 includes a mast 21 and a fork 22. The mast 21 is arranged at the front side of the chassis 11 in a vertical direction, and the fork 22 is escalable and arranged on the mast 21. The body assembly 3 is located on the chassis 11, and the body assembly 3 includes a battery compartment 31 and a fork 22 arranged on the chassis 11 in a front-to-back direction. The cab 32, the battery compartment 31 is located between the gantry 21 and the cab 32, and a lithium battery 312 is provided in the battery compartment 31, and the lithium battery 312 is electrically connected to the first wheel body 111 and the second wheel body 121 at the same time, and is used to supply power to the first wheel body 111 and the second wheel body 121. Since the energy density of the lithium battery 312 is relatively high and the volume it occupies is relatively small, the overall volume of the battery compartment 31 can be set smaller, and the horizontal height of the battery compartment 31 is lower than the horizontal height of the cab 32, so the battery compartment 31 will not hinder the line of sight of the operator in the cab 32, and the overall layout is more reasonable.
[0024] Specifically, a top cover 311 is provided on the top of the battery compartment 31, a control screen 321 and a seat 322 facing the control screen 321 are provided in the cab 32, a control handle 323 is provided on one side of the control screen 321, and the horizontal height of the seat 322 is higher than the horizontal height of the top cover 311. Therefore, when the driver sits on the seat 322 to operate, the battery compartment 31 will not block his line of sight at all.
[0025] Specifically, an observation area 211 is provided in the middle of the gantry 21, and the cab 32 is located directly behind the observation area 211. The fork 22 in front of the gantry 21 can be observed through the observation area 211, which facilitates operation.
[0026] Specifically, the first wheel body 111 is set as a driving wheel, and the second wheel body 121 is set as an electromagnetic brake wheel. The driving wheel is used to drive the forklift to move as a whole. The electromagnetic brake wheel is braked by powering on. The driving wheel is electrically connected to the lithium battery 312 through a first wire, and the electromagnetic brake wheel is electrically connected to the lithium battery 312 through a second wire.
[0027] In order to facilitate the laying of the second electric wire, a wire groove 122 is opened at the top of the supporting leg 12. The wire groove 122 is arranged at the top of the supporting leg 12 along the length direction of the supporting leg 12. The second electric wire is laid in the wire groove 122, and the laying of the second electric wire is not affected by the installation of the supporting leg 12. At the same time, a cover plate 122a is provided on the top of the wire groove 122, and the cover plate 122a is detachably fixed to the wire groove 122 by bolts. The wire groove 122 can be sealed or opened by the cover plate 122a, which can facilitate the installation and maintenance of the second electric wire and protect the second electric wire at the same time.
[0028] In order to better support the forklift, two support legs 12 are provided. The two support legs 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the front end of the chassis 11, and a second wheel body 121 is provided at the bottom of the front end of each support leg 12.
