Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of forklift accessories, in particular to a handbrake device for an electric forklift. Background Art

[0002] The majority of handbrake structures currently configured on forklifts are manual mechanical cable brakes (small electric vehicles also have electromagnetic brakes). For structures using manual mechanical cable brakes, a force of 20KGF-30KGF is required for manual operation, which is extremely laborious. In addition, most operations are performed with the left hand. The inconvenience and laborious operation result in the manual mechanical cable brake structure of the traditional brake configuration often failing to stop the vehicle, posing a huge safety hazard. The patent document with announcement number CN219620798U discloses an electric handbrake device for forklifts, which uses a motor, a reduction gear set, a trapezoidal screw, a balancer, etc. to pull the handbrake cable to reach 300KGF. It can achieve one-click tightening of the handbrake, solving the problems of the traditional forklift handbrake being laborious and inconvenient to operate with the left hand.

[0003] The above-mentioned device and technical solution still have some shortcomings in practical application. For example, the use of multiple gear reduction transmissions and the simultaneous use of screw rotation to achieve lifting motion lead to a certain degree of hysteresis in controlling transmission efficiency, requiring high precision components and an overly complex structure. Furthermore, this screw transmission is prone to premature wear during frequent use, requiring frequent maintenance and increasing operating costs. Furthermore, the device requires additional flexible connectors and hangers at the middle section of the handbrake cable, further increasing assembly complexity. Based on these issues, a handbrake device for an electric forklift is now provided. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Next, the present invention is described in detail with reference to schematic diagrams. For ease of illustration, cross-sectional views of device structures may be partially enlarged and not to scale when describing the embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely illustrative and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Furthermore, in actual production, three-dimensional dimensions, including length, width, and depth, should be included.

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Figure 1-Figure 4 The following is a schematic diagram of the entire structure of an electric forklift handbrake device of the present invention. Figure 1-Figure 4 In this embodiment, a handbrake device for an electric forklift includes a base body 100, a telescopic slot 110 is vertically arranged in the center of the base body 100, a jack 200 extending to the upper end of the base body 100 is slidably matched inside the telescopic slot 110, a telescopic motor 300 is arranged at the lower inner part of the telescopic slot 110, which can push the jack 200 to move up and down, and guide fixed pulleys 400 are rotatably installed on both sides of the upper end of the base body 100; wherein, the handbrake cable is pushed up and down by the jack 200 and the guide fixed pulleys 400 on both sides are used to guide the handbrake cable in a direction.

[0023] The lifter 200 also features ball-bearing slides 230 on either side of its height, and positioning grooves 111 on either side of the expansion slot 110 correspond to the ball-bearing slides 230. The coordination of the positioning grooves 111 and the ball-bearing slides 230 ensures a more stable and linear vertical movement of the lifter 200, facilitating precise control of the handbrake cable. The lifter 200 also features an arcuate groove 210 at its top, flanked by retaining ribs 220. The arcuate groove 210 provides a transitional contact with the handbrake cable, preventing pressure damage caused by protruding edges. The retaining ribs 220 and the guide fixed pulley 400 also prevent the handbrake cable from slipping during tensioning and releasing. Mounting grooves 120 for mounting the guide fixed pulley 400 are also located on either side of the upper end of the base 100. Guide grooves 130 extending through the mounting grooves 120 are also located on either side of the base 100 along its height. The guide grooves 130 provided allow the handbrake cable, after being guided by the guide fixed pulleys 400, to be semi-hidden on both sides of the base 100. In other embodiments, a side cover may be provided at the guide grooves 130 on both sides to completely conceal and protect the handbrake cable, but this embodiment is not limited thereto. Specifically, in this embodiment, when braking is required, the operator will precisely control the telescopic stroke and start / stop status of the telescopic motor 300 according to the display of the control system and based on the operating status of the forklift. For example, the telescopic motor 300 pushes the jack 200 upward, and the guide fixed pulleys 400 are used to provide directional guidance to the handbrake cable, so that the handbrake cable is tightened and braked, and vice versa, the brake is released. Compared with the existing technology, it has a more direct and stable transmission efficiency, a simple structure and assembly, and does not require frequent maintenance during use, thus further improving its practicality.

[0024] Furthermore, the bottom of the base 100 is matched with a bottom cover 500. The bottom cover 500 has avoidance grooves 510 at both ends corresponding to the guide grooves 130. The bottom cover 500 also has multiple mounting holes 520. It is understood that the telescopic motor 300 is mounted on the bottom cover 500. The mounting holes 520 are preferably threaded holes, and the bottom of the base 100 has corresponding threaded holes. The bottom cover 500 and the base 100 are fixed together by bolts, making disassembly and maintenance convenient.

[0025] Furthermore, the electric forklift handbrake device also includes a microcontroller connected to at least one telescopic motor 300. It is understood that the device can utilize the microcontroller to control external operating buttons and the telescopic motor 300 within the device. The microcontroller can precisely control the telescopic motor 300's telescopic travel, start / stop status, and other aspects based on the forklift's operating status.

[0026] In summary, in an electric forklift handbrake device according to the present embodiment, when braking is required, the staff will accurately control the telescopic stroke and start / stop status of the telescopic motor 300 according to the display of the control system and based on the operating status of the forklift. For example, the telescopic motor 300 is used to push the lifter 200 upward, and the guide fixed pulley 400 is used to guide the handbrake cable in a direction so that the handbrake cable is tightened and braked, and vice versa, the brake is released. Compared with the existing technology, it has a more direct and stable transmission efficiency, does not require frequent maintenance during use, and its practicality is further improved.

[0027] While the present invention has been described above with reference to specific embodiments, various modifications may be made and equivalent components may be substituted without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as no structural conflicts exist, the various features of the embodiments disclosed herein may be combined with one another in any manner, and the omission of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is solely for the sake of space and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but encompasses all technical solutions within the scope of the claims.
