[0025] The utility model discloses an adjustable LPG gas cylinder support 100, which can adjust the counterweight position of the gas cylinder 5 in the whole vehicle to facilitate the operation of a forklift 200.

[0026] 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.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4 The adjustable LPG cylinder support 100 in the embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, an adjustable LPG cylinder bracket 100 is disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, including: a bracket body 1 and an adjustment component 2.

[0030] The adjusting assembly 2 is disposed on the counterweight 4 of the forklift 200 , and the bracket body 1 is installed on the adjusting assembly 2 . The adjusting assembly 2 can enable the bracket body 1 to move forward and backward relative to the forklift 200 .

[0031] In this way, according to the actual working environment and situation of the forklift 200, the adjustment component 2 can change the counterweight position of the gas cylinder 5 in the whole vehicle by adjusting the position of the bracket body 1, thereby making the operation of the forklift 200 more convenient and effectively reducing the difficulty of the operation.

[0032] For example: when the forklift 200 needs to carry a heavy object, the bracket body 1 can be adjusted to move toward the rear of the forklift 200 through the adjustment component 2, so as to move the gas cylinder 5 on the bracket body 1 to a position closer to the rear of the entire vehicle. In this way, the stability of the entire vehicle can be effectively increased, making the operation of the entire vehicle safer; when the forklift 200 is reversing, the bracket body 1 can be adjusted to move toward the front of the forklift 200 through the adjustment component 2, so as to move the gas cylinder 5 on the bracket body 1 to a position closer to the front of the entire vehicle. In this way, the obstruction of the reversing field of view by the gas cylinder 5 can be effectively reduced, thereby increasing the driver's reversing field of view and making reversing safer.

[0033] In some embodiments, for example Figure 3As shown, the adjustment component 2 includes: a slide rail mechanism 21 and a locking mechanism 22; the slide rail mechanism 21 includes an upper slide rail 211 and a lower slide rail 212, the bracket body 1 is fixedly connected to the upper slide rail 211, along the front and rear direction of the forklift 200, the lower slide rail 212 is fixedly connected to the counterweight 4 of the forklift 200, the upper slide rail 211 cooperates with the lower slide rail 212 to enable the bracket body 1 to slide back and forth along the front and rear direction of the forklift 200; the locking mechanism 22 is transmission-connected to the slide rail mechanism 21, and the locking mechanism 22 is used to lock or unlock the relative displacement between the upper slide rail 211 and the lower slide rail 212.

[0034] The slide rail mechanism 21 can move the bracket body 1 forward and backward so as to adjust the counterweight position of the gas cylinder 5 in the whole vehicle; the locking mechanism 22 can lock the upper slide rail 211 and the lower slide rail 212 so that the two remain relatively still to prevent the adjusted bracket body 1 from shifting in position, thereby changing the counterweight position of the gas cylinder 5 in the whole vehicle, thereby effectively avoiding the occurrence of operational accidents.

[0035] At the same time, the locking mechanism 22 can also unlock the position lock between the upper slide rail 211 and the lower slide rail 212 to facilitate the position adjustment of the bracket body 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, for example Figure 3 As shown, the locking assembly includes a pull rod 221 and a locking member 222, and the pull rod 221 is drivingly connected to the locking member 222; when the pull rod 221 is lifted, the locking member 222 is unlocked; when the pull rod 221 is reset, the locking member 222 is locked.

[0037] The arrangement of the pull rod 221 can facilitate the operator to adjust the position of the support body 1 so as to adjust the counterweight position of the gas cylinder 5, thereby effectively reducing the difficulty of adjustment and improving the adjustment efficiency.

[0038] Furthermore, the pull rod 221 can be transmission-connected to the locking member 222 via a tension spring 223 .

[0039] Furthermore, for example Figure 4 As shown, the side surface of the lower slide rail 212 has equidistantly arranged slots 2121 , and the locking member 222 is engaged with the slots 2121 to lock the relative displacement between the upper slide rail 211 and the lower slide rail 212 .

[0040] In some embodiments, for example Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a clamp 3 is provided on the bracket body 1 , and the LPG gas cylinder 5 is bundled on the bracket body 1 through the clamp 3 .

[0041] In this way, the gas cylinder 5 can be prevented from falling off the bracket body 1 , thereby effectively ensuring the installation stability of the gas cylinder 5 .

[0042] In addition, the present application also discloses an LPG forklift, including the adjustable LPG cylinder bracket 100 disclosed in the above embodiment. Therefore, the LPG forklift with the adjustable LPG cylinder bracket 100 has all the above technical effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0043] Other structures and operations of the adjustable LPG cylinder support 100 and the LPG forklift according to the embodiment of the utility model are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
