Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mobility aids technology, and more particularly to an anti-tilt mobility aid for electric forklifts. Background Technology

[0002] In the logistics industry, forklifts are widely used for handling goods. However, when existing forklifts are carrying heavy loads, the change in the center of gravity caused by the weight of the goods can easily lead to the forklift tilting forward or even overturning, posing a serious safety hazard. Therefore, developing a walking aid that can effectively prevent forklifts from overturning is of great significance for improving the safety and stability of forklift operation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The problem this application aims to solve is that when existing forklifts are moving with loads on their forks, the change in the center of gravity caused by the weight of the goods can easily lead to the forklift tilting forward or even overturning, posing a serious safety hazard.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an anti-tipping assist component for electric forklifts, including a frame plate that serves as a basic support. The frame plate is positioned below the front of the forklift, with symmetrical and vertically arranged support rods on both sides. A walking component is arranged on one side of the frame plate, capable of rotating around the frame plate and performing anti-tipping assist operations by walking close to the ground.

[0005] Because the anti-tilt walking aid component of this application is designed with a walking component, it can walk close to the ground after the walking component is deployed, thus achieving effective support and stability for the forklift during forklift loading and walking, effectively preventing the forklift from tilting forward, improving operational safety, and solving the problem of existing forklifts tilting forward or even overturning due to the change in the center of gravity caused by the weight of the goods when the forklift is loaded and walking, which poses a serious safety hazard.

[0011] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Example

[0012] This application relates to an anti-tilt assist device for electric forklifts, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the walking aid component includes a frame plate 1, which serves as a basic support and is located below the front of the forklift. Support rods 2 are symmetrically and vertically arranged on both sides of the frame plate 1. A walking component 3 is arranged on one side of the frame plate 1. The walking component 3 can rotate around the frame plate 1 and can perform anti-tipping walking operation by walking close to the ground. When the forks are carrying a load, the walking component 3 can effectively prevent the forklift from tilting forward by assisting its walking.

[0013] The traveling component 3 includes a motor 4, a chain 5, a shaft 6, a support arm 7, a tie rod 8, a locking rod 9, and a track 10. The motor 4 is fixedly arranged on one side of the frame plate 1, providing driving force as a power source. The lower end of the support rod 2 is fixed with the support arm 7, which provides stable support for the shaft 6. A rotatable shaft 6 is arranged between the support arms 7, serving as the drive shaft for the track 10. The track 10 is symmetrically arranged on the upper part of the shaft 6, allowing it to travel along the ground and providing additional support for the forklift, preventing it from tilting forward when loaded. The shaft 6 and the motor 4 are connected by a chain 5 with sprockets. The motor 4 drives the shaft 6 and the track 10 through the chain 5 for walking operation. 3 is not used all the time. In order to store the track 10 when not in use, the end of the support rod 2 is provided with a pull rod 8 that can rotate around it. The end of the pull rod 8 is provided with a locking rod 9, which serves as a lateral connection and is placed inside the track 10 to lock and fix the track 10. The track 10 has a C-shaped groove inside, which includes an upper groove 11 and a lower groove 12. When the locking rod 9 is placed in the upper groove 11 of the groove, the track 10 is stored and fixed on one side of the frame plate 1, without affecting the normal driving of the forklift. When the walking component 3 needs to be put into use, the pull rod 8 is operated to rotate the locking rod 9 from the upper groove 11 to the lower groove 12. At this time, the track 10 can be firmly abutted against the ground surface, providing stable auxiliary support for the forklift.

[0014] Working principle: In actual operation, when the forklift does not need to travel under load or is in a light load state, the lever 9 is placed in the upper slot 11 of the slot, and the track 10 is stored and fixed. At this time, the walking component 3 does not participate in the walking operation of the forklift and does not affect the normal driving of the forklift. When the forklift needs to travel under load, the operator controls the lever 8 to make the lever 9 rotate from the upper slot 11 to the lower slot 12 of the slot. At this time, the track 10 is released and firmly abuts against the upper part of the ground. Then the motor 4 is started. The motor 4 drives the shaft 6 and the track 10 through the chain 5 to carry out the walking operation, providing stable auxiliary support for the forklift and preventing the forklift from tilting forward due to the load.

[0015] When in use, when the forklift does not require auxiliary support, such as when traveling unloaded or lightly loaded, keep the locking lever 9 in the upper groove 11 of the C-shaped locking slot inside the track 10, thereby storing the track 10 on one side of the frame plate 1. This ensures that the track 10 will not interfere with the normal travel of the forklift or be damaged due to unnecessary friction. When the forklift needs to travel with a load, especially when moving heavy objects, the operator should stop the forklift and ensure safety before operating the lever 8 to rotate the locking lever 9 from the upper groove 11 to the lower groove 12. The track 10 will then move accordingly. Once released, it firmly abuts against the ground surface, forming a stable support surface. Motor 4 is started, and motor 4 drives the shaft 6 and track 10 through chain 5 to perform walking operation. With the assistance of track 10, the forklift can obtain additional support force, effectively preventing it from tilting forward due to load. When the forklift completes the load-bearing task or no longer needs auxiliary support, it should be stopped again and safety should be ensured. Operate lever 8 to rotate lever 9 from the lower slot 12 of the slot back to the upper slot 11, thereby retracting track 10 back to one side of the frame plate 1.
