[0002] Electric forklifts are loading and unloading and short-distance transportation equipment designed for automobile production lines, warehouses and other places. They play a vital role in the automobile manufacturing process. This equipment is equipped with a variety of accessories and devices, and can be used with pallets, cargo boxes, etc. to achieve unitized transportation, effectively reduce collisions and scratches on parts, and reduce the stacking area, thereby significantly reducing losses during transportation. In addition, electric forklifts also have a small turning radius, allowing them to operate flexibly in a small space and easily adapt to the complex environment of automobile production lines.

[0003] However, although electric forklifts are widely used in automobile production lines, they still face some challenges in actual operation. In particular, the fixed fork length of electric forklifts often becomes a limiting factor for automobile parts of different sizes. For longer automobile parts, it is difficult for electric forklifts to effectively carry them due to the limited fork length. Even if they can be carried with difficulty, the stability may decrease due to the length of the parts exceeding the fork range, thereby increasing operational risks and safety hazards.

[0004] In addition, the stability of longer auto parts on the fork frame cannot be ignored. When the forklift is driving, the parts that exceed the length of the fork frame are prone to shaking or sliding, which may not only affect the normal operation of the production line, but also cause damage to the operator and surrounding equipment. Therefore, solving the adaptability and stability problems of electric forklifts when carrying auto parts of different sizes is of great significance to improving the efficiency and safety of automobile production lines.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, an electric forklift for automobile production is specially designed for automobile production lines, and mainly includes a transport vehicle 1, wheels 2, a lifting device 3 and a forklift frame 4. The wheels 2 are stably mounted on the bottom of the transport vehicle 1 to ensure the stable movement of the entire forklift. The forklift frame 4 is mounted on the transport vehicle 1 through an advanced lifting device 3, so that the forklift frame 4 can be flexibly lifted and lowered to meet the needs of cargo handling at different heights.

[0027] The front end of the forklift frame 4 is cleverly provided with two parallel and strong L-shaped fork frames 5. This design not only enhances the carrying capacity of the forklift, but also improves its stability. In order to further reduce the weight of the L-shaped fork frame 5, a T-shaped slide 6 is specially provided on its side wall, which not only ensures the structural strength but also achieves lightweight.

[0028] In the groove of the T-shaped slide 6, we cleverly insert the docking block 9. The docking block 9 is carefully provided with mounting holes 10, and the end surface of the L-shaped fork frame 5 is correspondingly provided with adjustment slots 7 that are fully adapted to the mounting holes 10. By inserting bolts and nuts into these holes and slots, we can easily and firmly fix the docking block 9 in the T-shaped slide 6.

[0029] The end surface of the docking block 9 is also designed with an extension frame 8, which can be stored in the T-shaped slide groove 6 at ordinary times and does not take up too much space. However, when we need to adjust the length of the fork frame of the forklift, we only need to change the position of the docking block 9 in the adjustment groove 7 to conveniently adjust the extension length of the extension frame 8, thereby extending the fork frame length of the L-shaped fork frame 5 to adapt to the handling of goods of different sizes.

[0030] In order to ensure the stability and safety of the docking block 9, a protruding block 11 is provided at the outer end of the docking block 9, which is placed at the inner end of the L-shaped fork frame 5 to effectively limit the movement of the docking block 9. At the same time, the upper and lower ends of the docking block 9 are also connected to limit blocks 12, which have holes facing the installation holes 10, are restricted in the adjustment slot 7, and work together with the protruding block 11 to firmly clamp the docking block 9 in the adjustment slot 7.

[0031] In addition, we also specially set a rubber gasket at the connection between the limit block 12 and the docking block 9, which can not only increase the stability of the connection, but also reduce the noise caused by vibration. The cross section of the limit block 12 adopts a unique "L" shape design, which is not only beautiful but also enhances its structural strength. When the two limit blocks 12 are connected to the docking block 9, a tight limit cavity 14 is formed between them, which further improves the stability of the docking block 9.

[0032] A rope drum 15 is also connected between the two limit blocks 12 through a fastener 13. The fastener 13 includes a limit rod, a nut and a gasket. Both ends of the limit rod are provided with threads adapted to the nut, making installation and removal very convenient. The rope drum 15 is cleverly sleeved on the limit rod and fixed to the limit block 12 through a nut. This design allows the rope drum 15 to be stably fixed on the forklift and will not shake due to the movement of the forklift.

[0033] The rope winding drum 15 is wound with an elastic rope, which has good elasticity and durability and can be quickly unfolded when needed to help secure the cargo. The rope winding drum 15 itself adopts an "I"-shaped drum design, which not only increases its structural strength, but also makes the winding of the elastic rope more neat and compact.

[0034] Finally, the docking block 9, the protruding block 11 and the extension frame 8 all adopt a "T"-shaped design, which is not only beautiful but also makes the entire forklift structure more stable. At the same time, they are all designed as one body, ensuring the integrity and stability of the structure. The extension frame 8 is directly opposite to the opening of the groove wall of the adjustment groove 7, so that the extension frame 8 can be smoothly extended from the outer end of the L-shaped fork frame 5, realizing flexible adjustment of the fork frame length.

[0035] When in use, first ensure that the forklift is in a stable parking state, and the wheels 2 are firmly supported on the ground. Then, by operating the lifting device 3, the forklift frame 4 is adjusted to a suitable height to adapt to the height of the automobile parts to be transported.

[0036] Next, the forklift is brought close to the accessory to be transported to ensure that the L-shaped fork frame 5 can accurately align with the bottom of the accessory. At this time, the extension frame 8 is in a storage state, does not take up too much space, and is convenient for the operation and movement of the forklift.

[0037] Once the L-shaped fork 5 is aligned with the bottom of the accessory, the extension frame 8 can be operated. By adjusting the position of the docking block 9 in the adjustment slot 7, the extension length of the extension frame 8 can be conveniently controlled. In this process, the protruding block 11 and the limit block 12 work together to ensure the stability and safety of the docking block 9.

[0038] When the extension frame 8 is extended to an appropriate length, the L-shaped fork frame 5 and the extension frame 8 form a sufficiently long fork frame structure that can stably hold up the auto parts. At this time, the lifting device 3 is operated again to lift the forklift frame 4 together with the parts to a certain height so that the parts are off the ground.

[0039] Then, by operating the transport vehicle 1, the forklift is moved to a specified position together with the accessories. During the movement, the elastic rope on the rope drum 15 can play a role in fixing the accessories, preventing the accessories from slipping or shaking during the movement.

[0040] After reaching the designated position, the lifting device 3 is operated again to lower the forklift frame 4 together with the accessories to the ground. Then, by adjusting the extension length of the extension frame 8, the L-shaped fork frame 5 can smoothly withdraw from the bottom of the accessories to complete the entire handling process.

[0041] During the entire use process, the electric forklift can easily cope with the handling needs of various automotive parts with its stable mobility, flexible lifting operation and adjustable fork length, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing labor intensity.
