[0032] See also Figures 1 to 4 An additional oil circuit device for a forklift attachment includes a control valve 20 for controlling the attachment's movement. The attachment 60 is a telescopic attachment and includes a first bracket 61, a second bracket 62, and two connecting arm assemblies 63. The first bracket 61 is slidably connected to the forklift's mast 70, allowing it to be raised and lowered relative to the mast 70. The second bracket 62 is connected to the forks 80. The two connecting arm assemblies 63 are rotatably connected between the first bracket 61 and the second bracket 62. The two connecting arm assemblies 63 can adopt a scissor-type structure, with the connecting arm assemblies 63 being driven to extend and retract by a telescopic drive structure 64. The chain 53 of the drive assembly 50 is connected to the first bracket 61 to drive it up and down. The control valve 20 is fixed to the inside of one of the connecting arm assemblies 63, located between the two connecting arm assemblies 63 and near the forks 80. Positioning the control valve 20 near the forks 80 on the attachment 60 facilitates assembly and disassembly and maintenance.

[0033] This embodiment also includes a hose assembly 10, a first positioning assembly 30, and a second positioning assembly 40. The attachment 60 is connected between the mast 70 and the fork 80. A control valve 20 is fixed to the attachment 60, controlling the movement of the attachment 60. In the figure, the attachment 60 includes a telescopic drive mechanism 64, and the control valve 20 controls the hydraulic circuit of the telescopic drive mechanism 64. The first positioning assembly 30 is fixed to the side of the attachment 60 away from the fork 80, while the second positioning assembly 40 is fixed to the top of the drive assembly 50, which drives the first bracket 61 upward and downward. The hose assembly 10 is connected to the control valve 20 at one end. The other end passes through the first positioning assembly 30, extends upward along the side of the drive assembly 50 near the first bracket 61, passes through the second positioning assembly 40, and then extends downward along the side of the drive assembly 50 away from the first bracket 61 to a position near the bottom. The first and second positioning assemblies 30 and 40 are provided to guide the layout of the hose assembly 10 so that it does not occupy the viewing area on the mast 70, thereby avoiding obstruction of the operator's field of view. The other end of the oil pipe assembly 10 can be connected to the hydraulic system of the forklift.

[0034] Specifically, the first positioning assembly 30 includes a first fixing bracket 31 and a fixing block 32. The first fixing bracket 31 is fixedly connected to the attachment 60. The fixing block 32 is fixed to the first fixing bracket 31 and is provided with at least one through-hole. The oil pipe assembly 10 is inserted through the through-hole, that is, the oil pipe assembly 10 is inserted from one end of the through-hole and exits from the other end. The fixing block 32 is provided to position the oil pipe assembly 10. When the attachment 60 is extended or retracted, the oil pipe assembly 10 is prevented from shifting between the control valve 20 and the first positioning assembly. The number of through-holes corresponds to the number of oil pipes in the oil pipe assembly 10, and can be one, two, or three, etc., without limitation herein.

[0035] Furthermore, the first positioning assembly 30 also includes a first roller assembly 33, which is rotatably connected to the first fixing bracket 31 and is located on the side of the fixing block 32 facing away from the control valve 20. The oil pipe assembly 10 passes through the through hole, wraps around the first roller assembly 33, and then extends upward along the side of the drive assembly 50 near the attachment 60. In other words, the first roller assembly 33 serves as a guide and pre-tensioning mechanism, preventing the oil pipe assembly 10 from changing direction or being damaged during tensioning due to the movement of the attachment 60. The first roller assembly 33 can be provided with at least one first roller, the number of which corresponds to the number of oil pipes in the oil pipe. The figure includes two first rollers, which are connected to both ends of a rotating shaft. The two oil pipes of the oil pipe assembly 10 are wrapped around corresponding first rollers.

[0036] The second positioning assembly 40 includes a second mounting bracket 41 and a second roller assembly 42. The second mounting bracket 41 is fixed to the top of the drive assembly 50. The second roller assembly 42 is rotatably connected to the second mounting bracket 41, and the oil pipe assembly 10 is wound around the second roller assembly 42. The second roller assembly 42 is provided to change the direction of the oil pipe assembly 10, so that the oil pipes of the oil pipe assembly 10 are distributed around the drive assembly 50 and do not occupy the observation area of the gantry 70.

[0037] Specifically, the drive assembly 50 includes a drive cylinder 51, a sprocket 52, and a chain 53. The sprocket 52 is located at the top of the drive cylinder 51 and is connected to the drive sprocket 52 for elevation. The chain 53 is wound around the sprocket 52 and connected to the attachment 60. When the sprocket 52 is raised or lowered, the chain 53 drives the attachment 60 up or down. The second fixing bracket 41 of the second positioning assembly 40 is connected to the sprocket 52. In the figure, the oil pipe assembly 10 includes two oil pipes, one located on either side of the sprocket 52 in the axial direction. That is, the oil pipe assembly 10 is positioned proximate to the side of the drive assembly 50.

[0038] The present invention includes at least one second roller assembly 42, which can be one, two, or three. Three are shown as an example. One second roller assembly 42 is located on the side of the second mounting bracket 41 facing the attachment 60, another second roller assembly 42 is located on the side of the second mounting bracket 41 away from the attachment 60, and the final second roller assembly 42 is located between the other two second rollers. In other words, the three second roller assemblies 42 are distributed circumferentially around the sprocket 52, with a gap between the second roller assembly 42 and the outer periphery of the sprocket 52. The number of second rollers on each second roller assembly 42 corresponds to the number of oil pipes in the oil pipe assembly 10. The rotation axes of the three second roller assemblies 42 are parallel to the rotation axis of the sprocket 52, and the rotation axis of the first roller assembly 33 is also parallel to the rotation axis of the sprocket 52.

[0039] Specifically, the first fixing frame 31 of the first positioning assembly is connected to the first bracket 61. A crossbeam is provided on the top of the first bracket 61, and the first fixing frame 31 of the first positioning assembly 30 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam and connected to the middle position of the crossbeam.

[0040] Based on this, the present invention further provides a forklift with an attachment, comprising a forklift body, an attachment, and an additional oil circuit device for the forklift attachment.

[0041] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited to this. Any non-substantial changes to the present invention using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present invention.
