[0002] With the rapid development of the logistics and transportation industry, containers have become widely used as an efficient means of transporting goods. To prevent cargo from shifting and becoming damaged within the container, cushioning air bags are often used to fill the gaps between the goods and improve their stability. Portable air bags, commonly found on the market, are primarily used to inflate these cushioning air bags. However, when using a forklift to transport cargo and inflating the bags, the lack of dedicated mounting equipment means operators are typically forced to place the air bag on the forklift seat or operate it by hand. This method can easily cause the bag to fall or become damaged while the forklift is in operation, shortening the lifespan of the air bag and potentially posing a safety threat to the operator.

[0003] To address this issue, a specialized forklift mounting bracket has been designed. This bracket can be securely attached to the forklift's cab guardrail, providing a reliable platform for the portable inflatable device. This bracket allows for easy access and maintains stability during forklift movement, effectively preventing the device from falling and being damaged, improving the efficiency and safety of inflation operations.

[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] The utility model relates to a forklift mounting seat suitable for portable inflatable equipment, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it primarily comprises a mounting plate 2, a support frame 1, and locking bolts 3. The upper portion of the support frame 1 is a rectangular body, strong enough to support the weight of the portable inflatable device. The bottom opening of the support frame 1 is folded inward by four trapezoidal extension panels, gradually narrowing the bottom opening to form a stable support structure, ensuring the inflatable device remains securely in place and preventing it from slipping out.

[0036] The mounting brackets 2 are two parallel steel plates welded to the same side of the carrier frame 1. Each bracket features a pair of retaining nuts 22, which, in conjunction with locking bolts, securely fasten the entire mount to the forklift guardrail. Forklift guardrails are typically installed vertically around the cab. The mount engages the guardrail through openings through the side panels of the carrier frame. Locking bolts and retaining nuts 22 secure the mount to the guardrail.

[0037] In order to further improve the ability of the portable inflatable device to prevent sliding during operation, a layer of buffering and anti-slip pad 4 is installed inside the carrying frame 1. The buffering and anti-slip pad 4 is made of rubber or other similar materials, and the surface has a certain friction force, which can effectively prevent the inflatable device from sliding during the bumps or turns of the forklift, thereby ensuring the safety of the equipment.

[0038] To further enhance the mounting stability, a matching locking nut is provided on the locking bolt 3, which is mounted on the inner side of the mounting clamp 2. When the locking bolt is screwed into the fixing nut 22, the locking nut secures it in place, preventing it from loosening due to vibration or external forces, thereby enhancing safety.

[0039] The mount is also designed with an expansion slot 21 on the mounting plate 2. This slot 21 allows the mount to be mounted on other fixtures, such as a wall mount (not shown). This design allows the forklift mount to be mounted not only on forklift guardrails but also on the walls of workshops or warehouses. When the forklift is not in use, the inflatable device can be mounted on the wall for easy storage and access.

[0040] To facilitate placement and removal of the portable inflatable device, the width of the through-opening on the side of the carrier frame 1 is larger than the width of the portable inflatable device's handle. This allows the operator to easily pass the device's handle through the through-opening during inflation operations and place the device into the carrier frame. This design not only facilitates operation but also prevents friction or jamming between the device and the mounting base when placing or removing the device.

[0041] The opening at the bottom of the carrier frame 1 is smaller than the battery holder at the rear of the portable inflatable device's handle. When the operator places the inflatable device into the mounting bracket, the battery holder fits snugly into the opening at the bottom of the carrier frame, providing natural support. This design leverages the inflatable device's inherent structure to provide support, eliminating the need for additional support components. This simplifies the design and increases the device's stability.

[0042] A pair of triangular support plates 23 are added to the outer sides of the mounting plate 2 to enhance the bending strength and pressure resistance of the entire mounting base. The triangular structure offers inherent stability and deformation resistance. During installation, the triangular support plates distribute the force, effectively preventing the mounting plate from being squeezed and deformed by the bolts. Furthermore, during use, especially when the forklift is moving or subjected to external forces, the support plates further disperse and buffer stress, minimizing deformation of the mounting plate and thus extending the service life of the mounting base.

[0043] The addition of this feature solves the problem of splint deformation caused by uneven force during long-term use or frequent tightening and installation of the mount, ensuring the stability and safety of the equipment.

[0044] It should be noted that, in this document, terms such as "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus comprising the element.

[0045] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
