At the same time, forklifts, as a kind of high-risk industrial vehicles, may cause safety accidents during handling, driving and charging due to improper operation, blocked vision or equipment failure. Especially during charging, the charging room is a place where various forklifts are charged. Since forklifts are in close contact with charging equipment, the traditional forklift charging device may have some safety hazards, such as electric arc and high temperature during charging, which may cause damage to operators and equipment, making the charging area a high-risk area during forklift operation. Therefore, forklifts have very high safety requirements in the operation site. Modern forklift charging devices usually consider multiple safety protection mechanisms, such as overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection or short circuit protection, to ensure the safety and reliability of forklift charging.

[0003] Currently, the traditional forklift charger sold on the market mainly highlights the charging efficiency function, but rarely reflects the safety warning effect, resulting in the original purchase charger with power-on charging liquid crystal prompt text, but the prompt text is very small, which makes the safety warning effect not obvious when the forklift is charging, and the staff need to be close to see the safety warning text. LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology, as a new type of semiconductor light source, has the advantages of low power consumption, long service life, high brightness and easy control compared to liquid crystal display. With the rapid development of LED technology, its application range is becoming more and more extensive, including lighting, display, signal indication and other fields. However, when the forklift is charging and the power is cut off due to an accident, the liquid crystal display or LED screen text on the forklift charger will be extinguished, the charging room is relatively dark, the vision is poor, and accidental collision accidents are easy to occur, which poses a certain safety risk.

[0059] Specifically, the packaging material of the LED screen 110 is plastic, silicone or rubber material.

[0060] Specifically, the light guide plate of the LED screen 110 is made of acrylic (PMMA) or polycarbonate (PC) material, which has good transparency and optical performance. It can effectively conduct and scatter the light brought by the display unit 111, avoiding the problems of dark areas and uneven brightness.

[0061] Specifically, the outermost thin film material of the LED screen 110 is tempered glass or an optical film with high transmittance, so that the text on the LED screen 110 can be clearly seen.

[0062] Specifically, the emergency light 230 is connected to the battery inside the energy storage structure 200 via a line. When the forklift's charging port is connected to the charging device and is in a charging state, the charging device can charge not only the forklift's own battery but also the battery inside the energy storage structure 200.

[0063] Specifically, the battery inside the energy storage structure 200 has a capacity of 4000-5000 mAh, 5000-7000 mAh, 7000-9000 mAh, or 9000-10000 mAh.

[0064] Specifically, a residual current device (RCD) primarily relies on a current transformer to detect the current balance in a circuit. When the circuit is operating normally, the current flowing into and out of the protector is equal, and the transformer does not generate an induced current. However, when a leakage occurs, some current flows into the ground through the human body or other conductive bodies, causing the current flowing into and out of the protector to become unequal, i.e., the current in the circuit is unbalanced. At this time, the transformer generates an induced electromotive force, triggering the residual current trip unit to trip the automatic switch, thereby cutting off the power supply and providing leakage protection. This process can respond quickly, effectively preventing electric shock accidents and ensuring the safety of people and equipment.

[0065] When the forklift is charging, if there is an imbalance between the inflow and outflow current, the leakage protection device 241 inside the energy storage structure 200 cuts off the power supply, automatically pushes the switch interlock control device 242, and triggers the emergency light 230. At this time, the emergency light 230 can provide temporary lighting for a certain period of time.

[0066] Specifically, the emergency light 230 is an incandescent bulb or LED, and the power of the emergency light 230 is 5-6 watts, 6-7 watts, 7-8 watts, or 8-10 watts.

[0067] Specifically, the emergency light 230 can provide illumination brightness of 100-500 lux, 500-800 lux, 800-1000 lux, 1000-1200 lux, or 1200-1500 lux.

[0068] Specifically, the emergency light 230 can provide temporary lighting for about 0.5-1.0 hours, 1.0-1.5 hours, 1.5-3.0 hours, 3.0-4.5 hours or 4.5-6.0 hours.

[0069] Specifically, the dustproof and waterproof control box 250 is arranged outside the emergency light 230, which can effectively block the dust from entering the internal circuit and prevent the circuit short circuit, component damage and other problems caused by dust accumulation; at the same time, the dustproof and waterproof control box 250 is made of waterproof material and sealing technology, which can prevent water from penetrating into the internal circuit and avoid the circuit short circuit, component corrosion and other problems caused by water.

[0070] Specifically, the dustproof and waterproof control box 250 is also provided with a handle 251, which can be used to take out the emergency light 230 for maintenance when the emergency light fails or is damaged.

[0071] Specifically, the dustproof and waterproof control box 250 is made of transparent material; the transparent material has high toughness, high transparency and strong impact resistance, and can not be deformed under high temperature and high humidity conditions; preferably, the transparent material is plastic; the plastic is polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP), chlorinated polyethylene (PVC) or polymethyl methacrylate (commonly known as acrylic, PMMA).

[0072] The working process of the forklift charging device provided by the utility model is as follows: when the charging interface of the forklift is connected to the charging device and is in a charging state, a plurality of display units 111 built in the LED screen 110 will be lit synchronously, and a single color display or a non-fixed color alternating display of "power on" or other warning words with warning effect is realized, so as to intuitively inform the operator that the forklift is in a charging state; when the forklift charging is completed, the LED screen 110 will be automatically extinguished in response; when the power is cut off due to an accident during the charging process, the leakage protector 241 in the energy storage structure 200 cuts off the power, automatically pushes the switch interlocking control device 242, and triggers the emergency light 230; at this time, the emergency light 230 can provide temporary lighting for a certain period of time.

[0073] Therefore, it can be concluded that the forklift charging device with an emergency light self-switch safety display provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0074] 1. By installing a larger LED screen 110 on the original charging device, through the control circuit connection charging device, when the forklift through the charging device access power, the internal circuit automatically turn on the LED screen 100 display "power on" or other warning words with warning effect, in an intuitive way to inform the operator that the current forklift is in charging state, so that the operator can clearly see; when the forklift charging is completed, the LED screen 110 will automatically extinguish in response.

[0075] 2. When the power supply is cut off due to accidental tripping during charging, the leakage protector 241 inside the energy storage structure 200 cuts off the power supply, automatically pushes the switch interlocking control device 242, triggers the emergency light 230, at this time, the emergency light 230 can provide an illumination brightness of 100-1500 lux, the emergency light 230 can provide temporary lighting time of at least 0.5 hours, which facilitates personnel evacuation from the charging room or work site, and avoids safety accidents.
