Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of supporting devices, in particular to a supporting device with an overload alarm function. Background Art

[0002] In commonly used lifting operations and handling equipment, such as movable lifting platforms, transport vehicles, platform vehicles and other similar equipment, the support device plays a vital role. The support device not only provides stable support for the equipment, but also ensures the safety and stability of the equipment during use.

[0003] Lifting platforms, as a commonly used engineering equipment, are widely used in factories, warehouses, logistics centers and other places for lifting and moving heavy objects. When using the lifting platform, the operator can adjust the height of the platform as needed to facilitate operations at different working levels. During the operation of the lifting platform, the support device plays a role in stabilizing the platform and ensuring safety.

[0004] A transport truck, also known as a forklift, is a very important handling equipment in the fields of logistics and warehousing; a platform truck, also known as a flatbed truck, trailer, etc., is a vehicle used to transport heavy objects; both transport trucks and platform trucks are used to transport items from one place to another. During the use of transport trucks and platform trucks, the support device also plays a vital role, which can ensure the stability of the vehicle and ensure the safety of items during transportation.

[0005] When using these devices, operators should strictly avoid overloading. Overloading may cause damage to the structure of the equipment, reduce its service life, and may even cause serious safety accidents, which poses a great threat to the personal safety of the operators. However, in the existing technology, it is difficult for operators to accurately judge whether the equipment is overloaded. Operators often rely solely on their own experience and intuition to evaluate the load condition of the equipment, which is not accurate enough. Therefore, it is necessary to improve it.

Preferably, in this embodiment, the elastic member 42 is a spring, and the spring has excellent elasticity and buffering performance. Preferably, in this embodiment, the spring is sleeved on the connecting member 41 to improve the structural stability. A travel switch 5 is fixedly provided on the wheel frame 2, and the travel switch 5 is electrically connected to an alarm device. When the compression of the elastic member 42 exceeds the safety range, the pressure block 43 moves downward to trigger the contact 51 of the travel switch 5 and then triggers the alarm device to alarm. Preferably, in this embodiment, the alarm device is a buzzer to warn the user that the device may be overloaded.

[0028] Preferably, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The travel switch 5 is provided with a spring piece 52, one end of which is fixedly connected to the travel switch 5, and the other end of the spring piece 52 is abutted against the pressing block 43. Specifically, under normal conditions, a gap is formed between the spring piece 52 and the contact 51 of the travel switch 5, that is, the spring piece 52 does not contact the contact 51 of the travel switch 5. When the pressing block 43 moves downward, it presses the spring piece 52 downward, so that the spring piece 52 gradually approaches the contact 51 of the travel switch 5. When the spring piece 52 triggers the contact 51 of the travel switch 5, the travel switch 5 changes from an open state to a closed state, so that the connected buzzer alarm circuit is connected, thereby triggering the alarm function.

[0029] Preferably, in this embodiment, one end of the wheel frame 2 is hinged to the wheel fixing frame 3 via a hinge 7, and the other end of the wheel frame 2 is connected to the wheel fixing frame 3 via the shock absorbing assembly 4. When loaded, the wheel fixing frame 3 swings downward relative to the wheel frame 2 with the hinge 7 as a fulcrum, and acts on the shock absorbing assembly 4 to realize the shock absorbing function.
