[0029] The utility model discloses a heater device 100, which not only has good heat preservation performance but also can effectively ensure the air quality in the cab.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0032] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4 The heater device 100 in the embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a heater device 100 is disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, including: a heater body 1.

[0034] Among them, the heater body 1 is located on the bottom plate 5 of the cab of the forklift 200; in this way, when the heater delivers warm air toward the cab, the warm air can be blown to the driver's legs first, quickly relieving the driver's discomfort. At the same time, since the density of hot air is lower than that of cold air, the warm air at the bottom of the cab can quickly reach the upper part of the cab under the squeeze of cold air, thereby quickly heating up the interior of the cab to improve the driver's driving environment.

[0035] Furthermore, the hot air continuously flows from bottom to top, which can always keep the room temperature in the cab at a suitable level, significantly enhancing the warmth retention performance of the heater device.

[0036] A through hole is provided on the frame side plate 7 of the forklift 200 , and the through hole connects the cab of the forklift 200 and the external space; the heater body 1 has an air inlet and an air outlet, and the air inlet is connected to the through hole through the ventilation pipe 4 .

[0037] In this way, the heater can inhale fresh air from the external environment and continuously send it into the cab of the forklift 200 after heating, realizing internal and external circulation, which not only ensures that the air quality in the cab is always at a good level, but also ensures the health of the driver.

[0038] In some embodiments, the heater device 100 further includes: an air inlet cover 2 ; the air inlet cover 2 is disposed on the outside of the through hole, and the air inlet cover 2 is fixedly connected to the frame side panel 7 .

[0039] For example Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of air vents are evenly spaced apart on the air inlet cover 2, and a dust cover is provided at each air vent, with the cover opening of the dust cover facing downward, so that not only fresh air can enter, but also dust and foreign matter can be blocked.

[0040] In some embodiments, the heater device 100 further includes: an air inlet cavity cover 3; the air inlet cavity cover 3 is arranged on the inner side of the through hole, the air inlet cavity cover 3 cooperates with the air inlet cover 2 to construct an air inlet cavity, and the ventilation pipe 4 is connected to the air inlet cavity.

[0041] For example Figure 2 As shown, the air inlet chamber cover 3 is a shell with an opening on one side, and the open side cover is arranged on the inner side of the through hole, and cooperates with the air inlet cover 2 to construct an air inlet chamber together, and the ventilation pipe 4 is connected to the side of the air inlet chamber cover 3 away from the through hole; when the heater body 1 is working and inhaling air, fresh air will first enter the air inlet chamber, and then enter the heater body 1 through the ventilation pipe 4. In this way, it can ensure that fresh air enters the heater body 1 smoothly, effectively reducing the flow loss of airflow.

[0042] In some embodiments, a notch is provided on the base plate 5, a mounting bracket 6 is provided below the notch, and the mounting bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the frame of the forklift 200; a mounting seat 11 is provided at the bottom of the heater body 1, and the mounting seat 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 6 through the notch.

[0043] For example Figure 3As shown, a slot is provided on the bottom plate 5, and a mounting bracket 6 is provided below the slot. The mounting bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the frame of the forklift 200, and the heater body 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 6 through the mounting seat 11. In this way, on the one hand, the heater body 1 can be placed on the bottom plate 5 so that the warm air is blown out from the bottom of the cab. On the other hand, a separate mounting bracket 6 is provided for the installation of the heater body 1 to avoid the need to remove the heater body 1 at the same time when the bottom plate 5 is removed for maintenance of the forklift 200, which not only reduces the difficulty of maintenance, but also reduces the problem of shortened service life of the heater body 1 due to frequent movement or disassembly.

[0044] In the present embodiment, two or more mounting seats 11 are provided, and a plurality of bolt holes are provided on the mounting seats 11 so as to be bolted to the mounting bracket 6 , thereby effectively improving the installation stability of the heater body 1 .

[0045] In some embodiments, a control switch is provided on the instrument panel 8 of the forklift 200, and the control switch is electrically connected to the heater body 1, so that the control switch controls the start or stop of the heater body 1. In this way, it is convenient for the driver to control the opening and closing of the heater.

[0046] In some embodiments, at least one air inlet is provided, and the ventilation pipes 4 correspond one to one with the air inlets.

[0047] For example Figure 2 As shown, two vents are provided, and both vents are connected to the corresponding ventilation pipes 4, respectively. This can not only increase the air intake volume, but also reduce the mutual interference between airflows, thereby improving the air intake efficiency.

[0048] In some embodiments, for example Figure 2 As shown, the heater body 1 is provided with an air outlet cover 12, which is arranged on the air outlet. A plurality of air outlets 121 are densely arranged on the air outlet cover 12, and the plurality of air outlets 121 can disperse the airflow and reduce the airflow intensity.

[0049] In addition, the present application also discloses a forklift 200, including the heater device 100 disclosed in the above embodiment. Therefore, the forklift 200 having the heater device 100 has all the above technical effects, which will not be described one by one here.
