Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of forklifts, and in particular relates to an automatic forklift and an anti-collision strip thereof. Background Art
[0002] An automatic forklift is an automated material handling device that can autonomously perform cargo handling tasks, reducing the need for manual operation. Automatic forklifts are usually equipped with sensors, control systems, and navigation systems, and can automatically drive according to a preset path to complete cargo loading, unloading, and transportation tasks. They are widely used in warehouses, logistics centers, manufacturing plants, and other places to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance safety.
[0003] Since automatic forklifts usually travel along pre-set routes, they are bound to encounter emergencies on the road during actual work, such as someone suddenly being on the forklift's route, or goods being temporarily placed on the route. At this time, the automatic forklift may collide with people or goods, causing damage to the forklift and the collided items, or injury to the person who was collided. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model is implemented as follows: an anti-collision strip of an automatic forklift comprises a mounting bracket, a hard foam rubber strip, a soft foam rubber strip and a rubber skin; one side of the mounting bracket is used for fixed connection with the shell of the automatic forklift, and the other side is used for fixed connection with the inner side surface of the hard foam rubber strip, the soft foam rubber strip is superimposed on the outer side surface of the hard foam rubber strip, and the rubber skin covers the outer periphery of the hard foam rubber strip and the soft foam rubber strip.
[0006] Furthermore, there is a gap between the inner side of the rubber skin and the outer side of the soft foam rubber strip, and a conductive rubber strip is embedded in the gap. When the conductive rubber strip is impacted, it can undergo elastic deformation, thereby triggering an electrical signal and feeding it back to the host computer to inform the host computer that the automatic forklift has collided.
[0007] Furthermore, the inner side surface of the conductive rubber strip is fixed on the outer side surface of the soft foam rubber strip, and the length of the conductive rubber strip extends along the length of the soft foam rubber strip.
[0008] Furthermore, the cross section of the mounting bracket is U-shaped.
[0009] Furthermore, the mounting bracket has a fixing strip and a mounting strip arranged at intervals inside and outside, the fixing strip is used to be fixedly connected to the outer shell of the automatic forklift, and the mounting strip is fixedly connected to the hard foam strip; the gap formed between the fixing strip and the mounting strip serves as a deformation space when the anti-collision strip collides.
[0010] To achieve the above object, the utility model further provides an automatic forklift, comprising a shell, wherein the front bottom edge of the shell is provided with any of the above anti-collision strips.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] The anti-collision strip of the utility model comprises a hard foam rubber strip, a soft foam rubber strip and a rubber skin, wherein the hard foam rubber strip can play a supporting and certain buffering role, the soft foam rubber strip can play a buffering role, and the rubber skin can play a role in protecting the hard foam rubber strip and the soft foam rubber strip. Since the secondary buffers of different strengths are provided, a gradual buffering effect can be generated when the automatic forklift collides, thereby alleviating and releasing the impact force generated when the automatic forklift collides, and preventing the automatic forklift or people or objects around from being hit.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides an anti-collision strip 100 for an automatic forklift, including a mounting bracket 1, a hard foam rubber strip 2, a soft foam rubber strip 3 and a rubber skin 4.
[0023] One side of the mounting bracket 1 is used for fixed connection with the outer shell of the automatic forklift, and the other side is used for fixed connection with the inner side of the hard foam rubber strip 2. The soft foam rubber strip 3 is stacked on the outer side of the hard foam rubber strip 2, and the rubber skin 4 covers the outer periphery of the hard foam rubber strip 2 and the soft foam rubber strip 3.
[0024] The hard foam rubber strip 2 of this embodiment can play a supporting and certain buffering role, the soft foam rubber strip 3 mainly plays a buffering role, and the rubber skin 4 plays a role in protecting the hard foam rubber strip 2 and the soft foam rubber strip 3. Preferably, the rubber skin 4 is made of a rubber material with good toughness and wear resistance, and fiber material can also be implanted in ordinary rubber material to improve the toughness and wear resistance of the rubber skin 4.
[0025] Since the anti-collision strip 100 of this embodiment is provided with secondary buffers of different strengths, it can play a progressive buffering effect when an automatic forklift collides, thereby alleviating and releasing the impact force generated when the automatic forklift collides, and preventing the automatic forklift or people or objects around it from being injured.
[0026] Furthermore, there is a gap between the inner side of the rubber skin 4 and the outer side of the soft foam rubber strip 3, and a conductive rubber strip 5 is embedded in the gap. When the conductive rubber strip 5 is impacted, it can undergo elastic deformation, thereby triggering an electrical signal and feeding it back to the host computer to inform the host computer that the automatic forklift has collided, and then the host computer controls the automatic forklift to perform the set post-collision response operations, such as stopping, retreating or taking a detour.
[0027] The inner side of the conductive rubber strip 5 is fixed to the outer side of the soft foam rubber strip 3, and its length extends along the length of the soft foam rubber strip 3. That is, the conductive rubber strip 5 is continuous, not discontinuous, and no matter where the bottom edge of the automatic forklift collides, the conductive rubber strip 5 can be triggered to generate an electrical signal.
[0028] Furthermore, the cross section of the mounting bracket 1 of the present embodiment is U-shaped, and is preferably made of metal material. The mounting bracket 1 has a fixing strip 11 and a mounting strip 12 arranged at intervals inside and outside, the fixing strip 11 is used to be fixedly connected to the shell of the automatic forklift, and the mounting strip 12 is fixedly connected to the hard foam strip 2; the gap formed between the fixing strip 11 and the mounting strip 12 serves as a deformation space 13 when the anti-collision strip collides. By providing the deformation space 13 on the mounting bracket 1, the overall buffering capacity of the anti-collision strip can be further improved.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 5 , shows an automatic forklift provided in this embodiment, including a housing 200, and the above-mentioned anti-collision strip 100 is provided on the front bottom edge of the housing 200.
[0030] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention can buffer the impact force generated when the automatic forklift collides by installing the anti-collision strip 100 at the front edge of the automatic forklift, and can prevent the automatic forklift or people or objects around it from being injured.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
