[0002] An electric forklift refers to a forklift that operates with electricity, and most of them work with a storage battery. A storage battery is a type of battery, and its function is to store limited electric energy and use it in a suitable place. Its working principle is to convert chemical energy into electric energy. Currently, the body structures of electric forklifts are mostly in two situations. One is to divide the vehicle body into two layers. The upper layer mainly places main components such as a road valve, a controller assembly, and a covering part, and the lower layer places the storage battery. In this case, the storage battery has the problem of being easily punctured by sharp objects on the ground and catching fire. The other is to adopt a two-side box structure, where the battery is located in the middle and rear of the frame. In this case, the battery is designed in a narrow and high shape, with a relatively high center of gravity, which is not conducive to the overall stability of the forklift. Therefore, a lithium battery architecture for a forklift is needed to rearrange the position of the battery. Summary of the Utility Model
