Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0022] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, a double-rotation support driven wheel mechanism applied to a forklift truck, comprising a vehicle body 1, a driving wheel group 2, a steering wheel group 3 and a driven wheel group 4, the driving wheel group 2 is fixedly arranged at the right rear of the vehicle body 1, the steering wheel group 3 is fixedly arranged at the left front of the vehicle body 1, the driven wheel group 4 is provided with two groups, which are a first wheel group 5 and a second wheel group 6 respectively, the first wheel group 5 is arranged at the right front of the vehicle body 1, and the second wheel group 6 is arranged at the left rear of the vehicle body 1. During the driving process of the forklift truck, the driving wheel group 2 and the steering wheel group 3 are responsible for providing power and controlling the driving direction of the forklift truck, and such arrangement ensures the basic maneuverability of the forklift truck during straight driving and turning. At the same time, the two groups of driven wheel groups 4 are distributed in front of and behind the vehicle body 1 and arranged in a diagonal line, so that the forklift truck can more flexibly adjust the attitude of the vehicle body 1 when turning, reduce the turning radius and improve the operation flexibility in a small space. In addition, the driven wheel groups 4 are distributed in front of and behind the two sides of the vehicle body 1, forming a stable quadrilateral support structure, which can effectively prevent the vehicle body 1 from tilting during the driving process of the forklift truck, especially when driving at high speed or carrying heavy objects, which can provide better stability.

[0023] The driven wheel group 4 comprises a driven wheel frame 7, a driven wheel body 8, a first rotation support 9, a second rotation support 10 and a connecting plate 11, the driven wheel body 8 is matchedly arranged in the driven wheel frame 7, the bottom of the second rotation support 10 is fixedly connected with the driven wheel frame 7, the top of the second rotation support 10 and the bottom of the first rotation support 9 are both fixedly connected with the connecting plate 11, and the top of the first rotation support 9 is fixedly connected with the vehicle body 1. The axis of the first rotation support 9 and the axis of the second rotation support 10 are parallel to each other and do not coincide, so that the driven wheel group 4 produces a certain rotation angle when the forklift truck turns, thereby maintaining the stability of the vehicle body 1. Specifically, when the forklift truck turns, the connecting plate 11 can rotate to a certain extent through the first rotation support 9, and the driven wheel frame 7 and the driven wheel body 8 can further rotate to a certain extent through the second rotation support 10, so as to adapt to the turning requirement of the vehicle body 1. Such rotation not only reduces the tilting moment when turning, but also improves the stability and maneuverability of the forklift truck, avoiding the occurrence of fishtailing.

[0024] The utility model discloses through two groups of driven wheel groups 4 front and rear distribution and diagonal line's configuration and the first rotation support 9 and the second rotation support 10 in driven wheel group 4, significantly improved the stability of forklift truck when turning, reduced fishtailing, thereby guarantee the safe handling of goods and the protection of surrounding facilities.

[0025] Reference Figure 4As shown, in some specific embodiments, the top of the connecting plate 11 is fixedly provided with a mounting shaft 12, the bottom of the first rotary support 9 is fixedly connected with the mounting shaft 12, the bottom of the connecting plate 11 is provided with a mounting groove 13, and the top of the second rotary support 10 is fixedly connected with the mounting groove 13. By providing the mounting shaft 12 and the mounting groove 13 on the connecting plate 11, the first rotary support 9 and the second rotary support 10 can be conveniently and quickly mounted and dismounted. This not only improves the maintenance efficiency, but also reduces the maintenance cost. The mounting shaft 12 is integrally formed with the connecting plate 11, thereby avoiding the problem of unstable structure caused by loose or damaged connecting parts. At the same time, the first rotary support 9 is directly fixed on the mounting shaft 12, thereby improving the stability and durability thereof.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the vehicle body 1 comprises a vehicle body 14 and a swing bridge 15, the rear end of the vehicle body 14 is provided with a through groove 16, the swing bridge 15 is rotatably arranged in the through groove 16, the driving wheel set 2 is fixedly connected with one end of the swing bridge 15, and the second wheel set 6 is fixedly connected with the other end of the swing bridge 15. The driving wheel set 2 is located at the right end of the swing bridge 15, and the second wheel set 6 is located at the left end of the swing bridge 15. A rotating shaft in a horizontal state is fixedly arranged in the through groove 16, and a rotating groove that rotates with the rotating shaft is arranged in the side of the swing bridge 15.

[0027] The swing bridge 15 enables the driving wheel set 2 and the second wheel set 6 to rotate within a certain range, thereby increasing the operational flexibility of the forklift in a narrow space. In particular, when making a sharp turn or reversing, this can significantly reduce the turning radius and improve the work efficiency.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the driving wheel set 2 comprises a driving wheel frame 17, a driving wheel body 18, a steering motor 19, a driving gear 20, and a driven gear 21, the driving wheel frame 17 is rotatably connected with the vehicle body 1, the driving wheel body 18 is arranged in the driving wheel frame 17 in a matched manner, the steering motor 19 is fixedly connected with the vehicle body 1, the driving gear 20 is fixedly connected with the output end of the steering motor 19, the driven gear 21 is fixedly connected with the driving wheel frame 17, and the driving gear 20 is engaged with the driven gear 21. The diameter of the driven gear 21 is greater than that of the driving gear 20.

[0029] When the forklift needs to turn, the steering motor 19 drives the driving gear 20 to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear 21 to rotate, and further driving the driving wheel frame 17 and the driving wheel body 18 to rotate together. Since the diameter of the driven gear 21 is greater than that of the driving gear 20, the effect of speed reduction and torque increase is achieved.

[0030] In some specific embodiments, detection electrical elements (not shown in the figure) for detecting the rotation speed and the steering angle are installed in the driving wheel group 2 and the steering wheel group 3, including a speed sensor and a potentiometric steering angle sensor.

[0031] Specifically, the working principle of the speed sensor is to install a signal wheel with a tooth groove on the rotating part of the driving wheel group 2 and the steering wheel group 3, and there is an induction coil and a permanent magnet inside the speed sensor. When the driving wheel group 2 and the steering wheel group 3 rotate, the tooth groove of the signal wheel constantly passes through the speed sensor, causing the magnetic field around the induction coil to change periodically, thereby generating an induced electromotive force in the coil. The frequency of this induced electromotive force is proportional to the wheel speed, and by detecting the frequency of the induced electromotive force, the speed of the driving wheel group 2 and the steering wheel group 3 can be calculated. The speed data is transmitted to the control system of the forklift in real time, and the control system can adjust the power output of the driving wheel group 2 according to the preset speed value, achieving precise speed control.

[0032] The potentiometric steering angle sensor is composed of a rotatable brush and a fixed resistor. When the driving wheel group 2 and the steering wheel group 3 rotate, the brush rotates with it, changing its contact position on the resistor and thus changing the resistance value. Since the change in resistance value is linearly related to the steering angle, by measuring the resistance value, the precise steering angle of the steering wheel can be obtained. The control system can achieve precise steering of the whole vehicle by combining the steering operation of the driving wheel group 2 according to this steering angle information.

[0033] In order to facilitate the understanding of the working principle of the embodiments of the present scheme by those skilled in the art, the working principle of the embodiments of the present scheme will be described in combination with specific application scenarios:

[0034] During driving, the driving wheel group 2 and the steering wheel group 3 are responsible for providing power and controlling the driving direction of the forklift, which ensures the basic maneuverability of the forklift during straight driving and steering. At the same time, the two groups of driven wheels 4 are distributed in front and back and diagonally, which makes the forklift more flexible in adjusting the attitude of the vehicle body 1 when turning, reducing the turning radius and improving the operation flexibility in narrow spaces. In addition, the driven wheels 4 are distributed in front and back on both sides of the vehicle body 1, forming a stable quadrilateral support structure, which can effectively prevent the vehicle body 1 from tilting during driving, especially at high speed or when carrying heavy loads, providing better stability.

[0035] When the forklift turns, the connecting plate 11 can rotate to a certain extent through the first slewing support 9, and the driven wheel frame 7 and the driven wheel body 8 can further rotate to a certain extent through the second slewing support 10, so as to adapt to the turning requirement of the vehicle body 1. Such rotation not only reduces the roll moment when turning, but also improves the stability and maneuverability of the forklift, and avoids the occurrence of tail swing phenomenon.

[0036] It is obvious for those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present application. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.
