[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the indicated orientation or positional relationship is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] When in use, the forklift battery equipped with ventilation ducts has two ventilation slots on the protective shell 8, which, together with the ventilation pipe 9, serve to ventilate and dissipate the heat generated by the battery body 3 from the protective shell 8, thereby reducing the temperature of the battery body 3. At the same time, the support frame 2 supports the battery body 3, increasing the distance between the support plate 1 and the battery body 3, allowing air to pass through the bottom of the battery body 3, further accelerating the heat dissipation of the battery body 3.

[0033] The dustproof net 10 blocks dust, preventing it from entering the protective shell 8 and avoiding dust accumulation that could affect the heat dissipation of the battery body 3. When the dustproof net 10 becomes clogged, the ventilation pipe 9 is removed from the protective shell 8 by pulling the block, allowing the cleaning plate 16 to move back and forth outside the connecting post 15 to clean the dustproof net 10 and prevent dust from clogging the dustproof net 10 and affecting the ventilation effect of the ventilation pipe 9. After the dustproof net 10 is cleaned, the ventilation pipe 9 is placed back into the protective shell 8. The fixing spring 12 supports the limiting slider and the fixing pin 13, allowing the fixing pin 13 to be inserted into the fixing groove of the protective shell 8 to fix the position of the ventilation pipe 9.

[0034] Although 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 alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
