Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of forklifts, and specifically relates to a forklift traction pin and a forklift. Background Art
[0002] A forklift tow pin is a metal component placed in a hole behind the forklift's counterweight that connects the forklift to the trailer. The opening of the pull ring on some existing forklift tow pins is too small, causing compression and obstruction when removing and placing the tow pin. On some forklifts, the pull ring has too little contact area with the operator's palm, placing significant pressure where the operator's palm contacts the pull ring when manually removing the tow pin. These issues all contribute to a poor experience when removing and placing the tow pin. In some cases, the bottom of the pull ring on some forklifts can rub against the counterweight, causing paint to peel and affecting the overall appearance of the counterweight.

[0024] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation methods of the present invention by describing the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, with the aim of helping those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the concept and technical solution of the present invention and to facilitate its implementation.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the utility model provides a forklift traction pin, including a pin shaft 3, a pull ring and a first sheath 1, the pull ring includes a gripping portion 6, and the first sheath 1 is arranged on the gripping portion 6.
[0026] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the pin shaft 3 is a cylinder, the upper end of the pin shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the pull ring, the gripping portion 6 of the pull ring is used for the operator to hold, the first sheath 1 is wrapped around the gripping portion 6, and the material of the first sheath 1 is rubber. The first sheath 1 contacts the operator's hand, which can enhance the operator's experience in holding and taking and placing the traction pin, achieve the purpose of comfortable grip and taking and placing, and improve comfort during operation.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a first receiving groove 4 is provided on the first sheath 1, and a plurality of first receiving grooves 4 are provided. All first receiving grooves 4 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the first sheath 1. The first receiving groove 4 is used for the operator's fingers to be inserted. The first receiving groove 4 is provided on the bottom surface of the first sheath 1, conforms to the shape of the fingers, and can facilitate the operator's grip.
[0028] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the first sheath 1 is provided with four first accommodating grooves 4, each of which is a circular arc-shaped groove. The first sheath 1 can be inserted into the grip portion 6 through the notch provided therein, which is used to improve the grip feel of the traction pin. The shape that conforms to the palm of the hand also helps to increase the force applied by the operator when removing the traction pin.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pull ring also includes a lower connecting portion 8 connected to the pin shaft 3. The lower connecting portion 8 is located below the gripping portion 6 and there is a certain distance between the lower connecting portion 8 and the gripping portion 6, forming a space to accommodate the operator's hand. The distance between the lower connecting portion 8 and the gripping portion 6 is greater than the height of the operator's palm to facilitate the operator's operation.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2The pull ring shown has an overall U-shaped structure. The pull ring also includes an upper connecting portion 7 connected to the grip portion 6 and the lower connecting portion 8. The upper end of the upper connecting portion 7 is fixedly connected to the grip portion 6, and the lower end of the upper connecting portion 7 is fixedly connected to the lower connecting portion 8. The grip portion 6 and the lower connecting portion 8 are located on the same side of the upper connecting portion 7. The upper connecting portion 7 also has a U-shaped structure. A second accommodating groove 9 is provided on the upper connecting portion 7. The second accommodating groove 9 is provided through the thickness direction of the upper connecting portion 7. The second accommodating groove 9 extends to the upper end of the upper connecting portion 7. The grip portion 6 closes the opening of the second accommodating groove 9 formed at the upper end of the upper connecting portion 7. The width direction of the second accommodating groove 9 is parallel to the length direction of the grip portion 6. The second accommodating groove 9 is used to allow the operator's palm to pass through. The width of the second accommodating groove 9 is greater than the width of the operator's palm to facilitate the operator's operation.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pull ring and the pin shaft 3 are located on a vertical line, and the angle between the gripping portion 6 and the lower connecting portion 8 is an acute angle. When the lower connecting portion 8 is in a horizontal state, the gripping portion 6 is in an upwardly inclined extending state. The gripping portion 6 is deliberately biased to the outside, so that the operator can remove the traction pin more effortlessly.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 A second sheath 2 is provided on the lower connecting portion 8, covering the outer edge of the lower connecting portion 8. The second sheath 2 is made of rubber and is used to contact the surface of the counterweight on the forklift. During the design process, the width of the pull ring near the counterweight was minimized to reduce the frequency of the pull ring rubbing against the counterweight. A rubber pad was placed around the contact area between the pull ring and the counterweight, i.e., the second sheath 2 was installed on the lower connecting portion 8. This significantly reduces the chance of the pull ring of the traction pin rubbing against the counterweight's painted surface.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, a notch is provided on the second sheath 2, and the second sheath 2 can be sleeved on the lower connecting portion 8 through the notch, so as to increase the friction between the pull ring and the surface of the counterweight and reduce the paint peeling caused by the pull ring hitting the surface of the counterweight.
[0034] Preferably, the pull ring is cut by a laser cutting machine and then bent twice. The first bend is formed at the connection between the grip portion 6 and the upper connecting portion 7, with an angle of 75 degrees. The second bend is formed at the connection between the upper connecting portion 7 and the lower connecting portion 8, with an angle of 120 degrees. The angle corresponds to the angle at which the operator takes and places the traction pin, and the pull ring opens outward, making it easier for the operator to take and place the pin. The first sheath 1 on the grip portion 6 has a large contact area with the hand, effectively reducing the pressure on the palm caused by the weight of the traction pin.
[0035] like Figure 5As shown, the pull ring is located on the outside of the counterweight, and the pin 3 is inserted into the axial hole provided in the counterweight. A protective ring 5 is provided below the lower connecting portion 8 and is mounted on the pin 3. The protective ring 5 is made of rubber and has a circular structure. The protective ring 5 is mounted on the pin 3 and sandwiched between the pin 3 and the inner circular surface of the axial hole. This can reduce the left and right shaking of the traction pin during the movement of the counterweight forklift, thereby further reducing the damage caused by the pull ring to the counterweight paint surface.
[0036] The utility model also provides a forklift, including the forklift traction pin of the above structure. The specific structure of the forklift traction pin can be referred to Figures 1 to 5 Since the forklift of the present invention includes the forklift traction pin of the above embodiment, it has all the advantages of the forklift traction pin.
[0037] The above description of the present invention is provided as an example, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described method. Any non-substantial improvements made using the method concepts and technical solutions of the present invention, or any application of the above-described concepts and technical solutions of the present invention to other situations without modification, are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
