Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift technology, specifically a four-point forklift. Background Technology
[0002] Forklifts, as essential material handling equipment, are widely used in various warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing industries. With their powerful load-bearing capacity and flexible operation, they play an indispensable role in loading, unloading, stacking, and short-distance transportation of goods. A forklift's design typically includes a robust frame, lifting forks, and a sophisticated control system; these components work together to ensure the forklift can safely and efficiently complete various tasks.
[0003] However, in the existing technology, most existing forklifts lack effective protective measures directly in front of the driver's cab. When the driver is operating the forklift, if the goods on the forks collapse, collide, or other unexpected situations occur, the lack of protective measures in the cab will directly expose the driver to the risk of being hit or struck by flying objects, which may lead to serious injury or even death. Therefore, we provide a four-point forklift. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0023] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, a four-point forklift includes: a protective mechanism 1, which includes a vehicle body 11. A driver's cab 12 is provided on the top of the vehicle body 11. A fixing plate 13 is provided on one side of the top of the driver's cab 12. A fork carriage body 31 is provided on the side of the vehicle body 11 away from the counterweight wheel 21. The fixing plate 13 is welded to one side of the top of the driver's cab 12. A mounting plate 14 is provided at the bottom of the driver's cab 12 near the fixing plate 13. A slot 19 is provided on the top of the mounting plate 14. Limiting slide rails 15 are provided at both ends of the driver's cab 12 near the fixing plate 13. The mounting plate 14 is welded to the bottom of the driver's cab 12 near the fixing plate 13. Limiting slide rails 15 are fixedly connected to both ends of the driver's cab 12 near the fixing plate 13. A protective device is provided in the slot of the fixing plate 13. The protective plate 16 has a limit plate 17 on its top and mounting blocks 18 on both ends of one side of the limit plate 17. The limit plate 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective plate 16. The mounting blocks 18 are fixedly connected to both ends of one side of the limit plate 17. The bottom of the protective plate 16 passes through the slot opened in the fixed plate 13 and is inserted into the slot 19. The two sides of the protective plate 16 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two limit slide rails 15 respectively. Bolts 110 are provided in the threaded grooves opened in the two mounting blocks 18. The two sides of the driver's cab 12 are provided with protective doors 111. The bolts 110 pass through the threaded grooves opened in the mounting plate 14 and are threadedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 13. The two sides of the driver's cab 12 are movably installed with protective doors 111. The bottom of the vehicle body 11 on the side away from the mounting plate 14 is provided with a counterweight mechanism 2.
[0024] In this embodiment, when the driver is sitting in the cab 12 and driving the forklift to move goods, in order to ensure the safety of the cab 12, the driver can install the protective plate 16 in front of the cab 12 before starting the moving work. Specifically, the protective plate 16 is made of polycarbonate sheet, which provides a glass-like visual effect, while being lighter and stronger than traditional glass. The specific installation method involves inserting the protective plate 16 through a slot opened at the top of the fixing plate 13. During the continuous descent of the protective plate 16, its sides will... The guide rail 15 slides through the protective plate 16, ensuring that the protective plate 16 can be accurately inserted into the slot 19 during installation. Thus, the protective plate 16 will achieve the effect of positioning and installation. At the same time, the bottom of the limiting plate 17 will contact the top of the fixing plate 13, and the threaded grooves of the mounting block 18 and the fixing plate 13 will be aligned. After the two are threadedly installed by bolts 110, the protective plate 16 will be fixedly installed in front of the driver's cab 12, preventing the cargo from directly hitting the driver in the cab 12 and avoiding serious personal injury.
[0025] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the counterweight mechanism 2 includes a counterweight wheel 21. The inner wall of the center of the counterweight wheel 21 is rotatably connected to the outside of the suspension rod 23. An installation compartment 22 is provided at the bottom of the vehicle body 11 on the side away from the mounting plate 14. The two ends of the suspension rod 23 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the inner wall of the installation compartment 22 respectively.
[0026] In this embodiment, when the forklift is lifting, the center of gravity will rise as the goods are lifted. By using the counterweight wheel 21 provided on the side of the vehicle body 11 away from the fork carriage body 31, the center of gravity of the whole vehicle can be effectively lowered, making the forklift more stable when carrying heavy objects, reducing the possibility of tipping over, and thus ensuring the safety of the operator.
[0027] This utility model provides a four-point forklift, the specific working principle of which is as follows:
[0028] When the driver is in the cab 12 carrying out cargo handling operations, to ensure the safety of the cab 12, the driver can install the protective plate 16 in front of the cab 12 before starting the handling work. Specifically, one end of the protective plate 16 is inserted through the slot opened at the top of the fixing plate 13. During the continuous descent, both sides of the protective plate 16 will slide through the limiting slide rail 15. The design of the limiting slide rail 15 can ensure that the protective plate 16 can be accurately inserted into the slot 19 during installation. Therefore, the protective plate 16 will achieve the effect of positioning and installation. When the bottom of the limiting plate 17 contacts the top of the fixing plate 13, the mounting block 18 and the threaded groove opened in the fixing plate 13 will remain aligned. After the two are threadedly installed by the bolt 110, the protective plate 16 will be fixedly installed in front of the driver's line of sight in the cab 12. This design can prevent the cargo from directly hitting the driver in the cab 12, thereby avoiding serious personal injury.
[0029] 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.
