[0016] 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.
[0017] like Figure 1-2As shown, a forklift mast lifting oil circuit structure includes a hydraulic drive unit, a pump motor 1, a gear pump 2 and an oil tank 3. The forklift also includes a body 12. The mast is arranged at the front side of the body 12. The fork is generally fixed to the mast in a manner that it can be lifted or lowered. In order to increase the lifting height of the fork, the mast includes an outer mast 9 and a movable mast that can be lifted or lowered on the outer mast 9. The fork is fixed to the movable mast in a manner that it can be lifted or lowered. The lower end of the hydraulic drive unit is fixed to the bottom of the front side of the body 12 and is used to drive the movable mast to perform lifting movements. The oil tank 3, the gear pump 2 and the pump motor 1 are all located in the body 12. The motor 1 is arranged in the vehicle body 12 along the vertical direction, the gear pump 2 is located at the bottom of the pump motor 1, the oil outlet of the gear pump 2 is connected to the hydraulic drive unit through the first oil pipe 4, and the oil inlet of the gear pump 2 is connected to the oil tank 3 through the oil suction pipe 5. The gear pump 2 can absorb the hydraulic oil in the oil tank 3 through the oil suction pipe 5 and transmit it to the hydraulic drive unit. Since the pump motor 1 is arranged in the vertical direction, its lateral occupied volume is small and will not affect the arrangement of the oil tank 3. The gear pump 2 is located at the bottom of the pump motor 1, close to the bottom of the hydraulic drive unit, and the length requirement of the first oil pipe 4 is short, saving costs.
[0018] In order to allocate the hydraulic oil to each hydraulic component, a hydraulic valve plate is also included. The oil outlet of the gear pump 2 is connected with the oil inlet of the hydraulic valve plate through the first oil pipe 4, and the oil outlet of the hydraulic valve plate is connected with the hydraulic drive unit. The gear pump 2 transports the hydraulic oil to the hydraulic valve plate, and then distributes the pressure oil through the hydraulic valve plate. Then, according to specific needs, it is distributed to each hydraulic component. At the same time, an oil return port is provided on the hydraulic valve plate, and the oil return port is connected with the oil tank 3 through the oil return pipe 6. The return oil of each hydraulic component is uniformly returned to the oil tank 3 through the hydraulic valve plate.
[0019] Specifically, the movable mast includes a middle mast 10 and an inner mast 11. The middle mast 10 can be raised and lowered on the outer mast 9, and the inner mast 11 can be raised and lowered on the middle mast 10. The hydraulic drive unit includes a first lifting cylinder 7 and a second lifting cylinder 8. The first lifting cylinder 7 is connected to the middle mast 10 and is used to drive the middle mast 10 to perform lifting movements. The second lifting cylinder 8 is connected to the inner mast 11 and is used to drive the inner mast 11 to perform lifting movements. The hydraulic valve plate is connected to the first lifting cylinder 7 and the second lifting cylinder 8 at the same time, so the hydraulic valve plate can control the actions of the first lifting cylinder 7 and the second lifting cylinder 8 at the same time.
