[0028] In fact, the locking assembly can be a bolt. A threaded hole is opened on the wing plate of the second connecting plate 12. The bolt passes through the threaded hole and the two are threadedly matched. One end of the connecting pipe 13 is fixed on the bolt. By turning the bolt, the angle of the connecting pipe 13 can be adjusted. In this embodiment, the locking assembly includes a first locking assembly and a second locking assembly arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the connecting pipe 13. The first locking assembly includes a locking bolt 16 and a first locking nut 17. The second locking assembly includes a locking screw 18 and a second locking nut 19. The middle part of the two wing plates of the second connecting plate 12 is symmetrically provided with connecting holes for the locking bolt 16 to pass through. The two wing plates are symmetrically provided with arc grooves 15 near the edges for the locking screws 18 to pass through and the fixing position of the locking screws 18 is adjustable. The connecting tube 13 is radially penetrated with a first through hole for the locking bolts 16 to pass through and a second through hole for the locking screws 18 to pass through. After one end of the locking bolt 16 passes through the connecting hole and the first through hole in turn, it cooperates with the first locking nut 17 to lock and fix the second connecting plate 12 and the connecting tube 13. The locking screw 18 passes through the arc groove 15 and the second through hole in turn, and the two ends of the locking screw 18 cooperate with the second locking nuts 19 respectively to lock and fix the second connecting plate 12 and the connecting tube 13. Through the cooperation of the locking bolt 16 and the first locking nut 17, not only can the rotation of the connecting pipe 13 be realized, but also the connecting pipe 13 can be positioned and locked. Through the cooperation of the locking screw 18, the second locking nut 19 and the arc groove 15, the rotation of the connecting pipe 13 can be guided and the position after rotation can be locked. With this structural design, the connecting pipe 13 is securely connected, easy to install, easy to maintain and replace, and easy to rotate and adjust.
[0029] The first locking nut 17 is a large and small head structure, and the outer wall of the small head end of the first locking nut 17 is provided with an external thread. The connection hole on the wing plate of the second connecting plate 12 close to the first locking nut 17 is a threaded hole. The small head end of the first locking nut 17 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole and passes through the threaded hole to abut against the surface of the connecting pipe 13. By tightening or loosening the first locking nut 17, the connecting pipe 13 can be positioned and locked.

[0030] In the above embodiment, the arc groove 15 is a 1 / 4 segment arc groove 15, and is located on the side of the wing plate of the second connecting plate 12 away from the web. The center of the arc groove 15 coincides with the center of the connecting hole, so that the axis of the connecting pipe 13 is just perpendicular or parallel to the web of the second connecting plate 12 when the maximum adjustment range is reached. By tightening the first locking nut 17, the small end of the first locking nut 17 contacts the surface of the connecting pipe 13, and the first locking nut 17, the gasket 20 and the wing plate of the second connecting plate 12 cooperate to clamp and position the connecting pipe 13. By tightening the second locking nut 19, the second connecting plate 12 will no longer slide along the arc groove 15 after the position is adjusted. By loosening the first locking nut 17 and the second locking nut 19 at the same time, the connecting pipe 13 is rotated around the locking bolt 16 to a suitable angle. At this time, the locking screw 18 moves a corresponding distance in the arc groove 15, and then the first locking nut 17 and the second locking nut 19 are tightened, so that the angle of the connecting pipe 13 can be adjusted. It is worth noting that the connecting pipe 13 does not contact the web of the second connecting plate 12 , so that the connecting pipe 13 will not interfere with the web of the second connecting plate 12 when rotating around the locking bolt 16 .
[0031] In the above embodiment, the suspended end of the connecting tube 13 is symmetrically integrally formed with a mounting plate 21 along the left and right sides of the connecting tube 13, and a mounting hole is provided on the mounting plate 21.

The light illuminates the ground, and the projection warning line on the ground can be adjusted by adjusting the locking assembly. The straight-line distance from the vehicle body is generally about 1.3-1.5 meters, and it can also be adjusted according to actual needs. At the same time, a gourd-shaped speaker 6 is installed on the top of the frame 2. To provide artificial voice broadcast of the distance or to issue a phoenix-ming prompt sound according to the distance; the reversing radar 4, the boundary warning light, the gourd-shaped speaker 6, and the main box 7 are respectively connected with the aviation wiring harness 8 to form an integrated detection and warning device; without changing the original structure of the electric forklift, a radar detection and sound and light alarm device is installed to detect whether there are obstacles or personnel during the vehicle's driving process, especially during the reversing process. When the radar detects that the distance of the obstacle or personnel exceeds the safe range set by the device, the detection radar converts the voltage signal into an sound and light signal, so that the warning boundary light 3 flashes continuously and the voice prompt sounds continuously, so as to remind the vehicle holding driver and other staff to actively avoid it and avoid the occurrence of production safety accidents.
