Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of forklift front wheel protection, in particular to a forklift front wheel protection device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, machines have gradually become the mainstream instead of manpower. For traditional industries such as furnace casting and forging, manual operation requires enduring the damage caused by high temperatures. Nowadays, forklifts are also used to replace manpower for material handling operations.

[0003] Currently, there is no dedicated forklift for the furnace casting and forging industry. The high temperature in front of the furnace will reduce the service life of the forklift's front wheels. Since the tires of the forklift are made of rubber, the front wheels are usually exposed and have no protection. When molten iron, molten steel, etc. splash onto the tires, there is a risk of blowout for pneumatic tires, and solid tires will also affect the life of the tires. Therefore, a forklift front wheel protection device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a forklift front wheel protection device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a forklift front wheel protection device, comprising a forklift frame and two mudguards arranged on the forklift frame, both of the mudguards are provided with brackets for fixing the protection structure, the brackets are detachably provided with the protection structure, the protection structure comprises two symmetrically arranged protection covers, the protection covers comprise a front guard plate for protecting the front wheels of the forklift, and side guard plates for side protection of the front wheels of the forklift are installed on the sides of the front guard plate, and the front guard plate and the side guard plates are both connected to the mounting plate.

[0006] As a further solution of the utility model: the bracket includes a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate, and the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are both mounted on the fender.

[0007] As a further solution of the utility model: the first mounting plate is connected to the mounting plate by bolts, and the second mounting plate is connected to the front guard plate by bolts.

[0008] As a further solution of the utility model: both the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are provided with threaded inner holes for bolts to pass through.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0010] 1. Through the interaction between the front guard plate, side guard plate and mounting plate, not only can a large area of ​​the forklift front wheel be protected, but also the front and sides of the forklift front wheel can be protected from damage by external dangerous objects. Secondly, under the action of the mounting plate, front guard plate and bracket, the protective cover can be adapted to the normal forklift frame without the need to modify the special frame adapted to the protective cover. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the installation of the protective structure of the utility model;

[0012] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the fender and the bracket of the utility model;

[0013] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the protective cover of the utility model;

[0014] In the figure: 1, forklift frame; 2, mudguard; 3, protective cover; 31, front guard plate; 32, side guard plate; 33, mounting plate; 4, bracket; 41, first mounting plate; 42, second mounting plate. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0016] See also Figure 1-3 In an embodiment of the utility model, a forklift front wheel protection device includes a forklift frame 1 and two mudguards 2 arranged on the forklift frame 1, the two mudguards 2 are provided with a bracket 4 for fixing the protection structure, the bracket 4 is detachably provided with a protection structure, the protection structure includes two symmetrically arranged protective covers 3, the shape of the protective cover 3 is designed following the shape of the mudguard 2, and the appearance shape can be integrated into the overall shape of the forklift, the protective cover 3 includes a front guard plate 31 for protecting the front wheel of the forklift, and the side of the front guard plate 31 is installed with a side guard plate 32 for side protection of the front wheel of the forklift, the front guard plate 31 and the side guard plate 32 are connected to the mounting plate 33, and the protective cover 3 is welded by the front guard plate 31, the side guard plate 32 and the mounting plate 33.

[0017] Specifically, the protective cover 3 is a 4mm steel plate designed according to the shape of the forklift's front wheel fender 2. The front guard plate 31 protects the front of the forklift's front wheel, and the side guard plate 32 protects the side of the forklift's front wheel to prevent high-temperature liquids such as molten iron and molten steel from splashing onto the forklift's front wheel and causing damage to the forklift's front wheel. At the same time, the protective cover 3 does not wrap the entire forklift's front wheel, and a portion of the lower end of the forklift's front wheel is left blank, which does not affect the forklift's ramp passability. The protective cover can simultaneously protect the front and sides of the tire from damage by external dangerous objects and can protect most of the tire area.

[0018] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, in order to ensure that the protective cover 3 is adapted to the normal forklift frame 1, in this embodiment, preferably, the bracket 4 includes a first mounting plate 41 and a second mounting plate 42, and the first mounting plate 41 and the second mounting plate 42 are both mounted on the fender 2. The first mounting plate 41 and the second mounting plate 42 are fixed to the fender 2 by welding. Furthermore, under the action of the first mounting plate 41 and the second mounting plate 42, fulcrums are provided for the installation of the protective cover 3 respectively, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the protective cover 3.

[0019] See also Figure 2-3 In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the disassembly of the protective cover 3, in this embodiment, preferably, the first mounting plate 41 is connected to the mounting plate 33 by bolts, and the second mounting plate 42 is connected to the front guard plate 31 by bolts. The first mounting plate 41 and the second mounting plate 42 are both provided with threaded inner holes for the bolts to pass through. The installation and removal of the protective cover 3 are achieved by turning the bolts. When the rim of the forklift's front wheel needs to be repaired and replaced, the bolts can be turned to remove the protective cover 3, which is convenient for the replacement and maintenance of the forklift's front wheel.

[0020] Although this specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode includes only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0021] Therefore, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present application; that is, all equivalent changes made according to the scope of the claims of the present application are within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
