Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery handling technology, specifically to a forklift single battery handle. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of forklift batteries, individual batteries, as core components, need to go through multiple transfer processes. In addition to the standardized operation of assembling them into power boxes in batches, some semi-finished batteries or spare batteries are often stored in pallets, large containers and other turnover containers.
[0003] Due to capacity requirements, individual batteries are often designed as vertical cuboid structures (with a height of over 500mm), and their weight generally exceeds 30kg, with no dedicated handles on the surface. When these scattered batteries need to be lifted from the storage container and placed on a trolley on the side of the storage container for individual sampling and inspection, it is difficult for workers to find a stable point of force when grasping them because there are no protrusions on the surface of the individual batteries.
[0004] To facilitate handling, some workers remove the electrolyte filler cap from the top of the individual cells to grab them, using the filler port as a fulcrum to move the cells. This repeated removal and installation of the filler cap is time-consuming, far exceeding the time required to move the cells from the storage container to another, reducing work efficiency. Furthermore, improper sealing during removal and installation can lead to electrolyte leakage during subsequent use. Secondly, some workers, to save time, may reach directly into the filler port without protective tools, using the inner wall of the filler port as a leverage point to pull the cells, posing a significant safety risk. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a forklift battery handle that can effectively grab individual batteries without disassembling and reassembling the electrolyte plug, thereby improving work efficiency and avoiding electrolyte leakage caused by secondary disassembly and reassembly, thus reducing safety risks.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a forklift single-cell battery handle, comprising:
[0007] The frame has a rectangular opening that is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the battery;
[0008] A pair of connecting ears are symmetrically arranged on the outer walls of both sides of the sleeve frame, and a connecting port is vertically provided on them;
[0009] The lifting rod assembly includes two lifting rods that are rotatably connected to two connection ports, and the upper end of each lifting rod is provided with a handle;
[0010] A base plate is located at the lower end of the lifting rod. When the two base plates are facing each other, the distance between them is less than the width of the battery. When the two base plates are facing away from each other, the distance between them is greater than the width of the battery.
[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that at least two limiting rings are provided on the lifting rod from top to bottom at intervals, and the distance between adjacent limiting rings is not less than the thickness of the connecting ear.
[0012] A further improvement of this utility model is that the lifting rod is provided with an external thread, and the limiting ring is threadedly connected to the lifting rod.
[0013] A further improvement of this utility model is that the diameter of the connecting port is adapted to the diameter of the limiting ring, and limiting holes communicating with the connecting port are provided through both sides of the connecting ear. A limiting component is detachably connected in the limiting hole, and one end of the limiting component is located between two adjacent limiting rings.
[0014] A further improvement of this utility model is that the limiting member is a rod-shaped structure with axial elasticity, and its two ends are provided with rigid connecting parts, which are detachably inserted into the limiting hole.
[0015] A further improvement of this utility model is that the body of the rod-shaped structure is made of metal spring steel, and its two ends are bent to form a rigid connection part.
[0016] A further improvement of this utility model is that the rigid connecting part is a metal sleeve fixedly sleeved at both ends of the rod-shaped structure, and the outer diameter of the metal sleeve forms a clearance fit with the limiting hole.
[0017] A further improvement of this utility model is that the free ends of the two base plates are provided with guide slopes to facilitate battery placement.
[0018] A further improvement of this utility model is that the handle is formed by bending the upper end of the lifting rod.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0020] This invention can effectively grab individual batteries through the cooperation of the frame, lifting rod and base plate, without the need to disassemble and reassemble the electrolyte plug, thereby improving work efficiency and avoiding electrolyte leakage caused by secondary disassembly and reassembly, thus reducing safety risks.
[0021] This invention features a frame with a rectangular opening that matches the battery cross-section to form a circumferential constraint, preventing the battery from sliding during transport. A base plate provides support from the bottom of the battery, improving the stability of battery movement.
[0022] The base plate of this utility model rotates with the lifting rod. When the base plate obstructs the battery from being put into the sleeve frame, it can be rotated away to avoid obstruction, and can be rotated to the bottom of the battery for support. It has high flexibility. When the battery is pressed on both base plates, the base plates will not rotate randomly after being pressed, avoiding accidental rotation when moving the battery and causing it to fall.
[0023] The lifting rod of this utility model is provided with at least two limiting rings spaced from top to bottom. The diameter of the connection port and the limiting rings can adjust the height of the sleeve according to the height of the single battery. The limiting component is locked between two adjacent limiting rings to prevent large relative displacement of the lifting rod and the sleeve rod. It has strong stability and wide applicability.

[0028] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0029] Example 1: Combination Figures 1-3 It is known that a forklift single battery handle includes:
[0030] The frame 1 has a rectangular opening that is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the battery;
[0031] A pair of connecting ears 2 are symmetrically arranged on the outer walls of both sides of the sleeve frame 1, and a connecting port is vertically provided on them;
[0032] The lifting rod assembly includes two lifting rods 3 that are rotatably connected to two connection ports, and the upper end of the lifting rods 3 is provided with a handle 4;
[0033] The bottom support plate 5 is located at the lower end of the lifting rod 3. When the two bottom support plates 5 are facing each other, the distance between them is less than the width of the battery. When the two bottom support plates 5 are facing away from each other, the distance between them is greater than the width of the battery.
[0034] The lifting rod 3 is provided with at least two limiting rings 6 spaced apart from top to bottom, and the distance between adjacent limiting rings 6 is not less than the thickness of the connecting ear 2.
[0035] The diameter of the connection port is adapted to the diameter of the limiting ring 6. Limiting holes communicating with the connection port are provided on both sides of the connecting ear 2. Limiting member 7 is detachably connected in the limiting hole. One end of the limiting member 7 is located between two adjacent limiting rings 6.
[0036] The limiting member 7 is a rod-shaped structure with axial elasticity, and its two ends are provided with rigid connecting parts, which can be detachably inserted into the limiting hole.
[0037] Optionally, the main body of the rod-shaped structure is made of metal spring steel, with both ends bent to form a rigid connection.
[0038] Optionally, the rigid connection is a metal sleeve fixedly fitted at both ends of the rod-shaped structure, with the outer diameter of the metal sleeve forming a clearance fit with the limiting hole. The rod-shaped structure can be made of materials such as rubber or polyurethane.
[0039] Preferably, the free ends of the two base plates 5 are provided with guide ramps 8 to facilitate battery placement.
[0040] Preferably, the handle 4 is formed by bending the upper end of the handle 3. The handle 4 is made of steel.
[0041] Example 2: This example modifies the structure in Example 1 based on Example 1. The modified technical solution is as follows:
[0042] The lifting rod 3 has two limiting rings 6 spaced apart from bottom to top. The lifting rod 3 has external threads, and the limiting rings 6 are threaded onto the lifting rod 3. The diameter of the connection port is adapted to the diameter of the lifting rod 3.
[0043] In this embodiment, no limiting hole or limiting component is provided. The axial movement of the lifting rod 3 can be restricted by the cooperation of two limiting rings 6.
[0044] The other structures in this embodiment are the same as in embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.
[0045] Example 3: This example modifies the structure in Example 1 based on Example 1. The modified technical solution is as follows:
[0046] The lifting rod 3 is provided with two limiting rings 6 at intervals from top to bottom. The two limiting rings 6 are fixedly set on the lifting rod 3. The distance between the two is not less than the thickness of the connecting ear. The diameter of the connecting port is matched with the diameter of the lifting rod 3. The lifting rod 3 can rotate within the connecting port.
[0047] In this embodiment, the limiting ring is fixed. Although it cannot be used for individual batteries of different heights, the structure is simpler and the connection is more secure.
[0048] The other structures in this embodiment are the same as in embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.
[0049] The working principle of the forklift single battery handle provided by the utility model is as follows: In use, firstly, rotate the lifting rod 3 to rotate the bottom support plate 5. The distance between the two bottom support plates 5 is greater than the width of the battery. Then, place the sleeve frame 1 from top to bottom inside it. Then, drive the battery to tilt slightly to one side. After the battery tilts, its lower end forms a gap with the ground. At this time, rotate one lifting rod 3 to insert the bottom support plate 5 into the gap. Then, straighten the battery. At this time, the lower end of one side of the battery is pressed on the bottom support plate 5. Then, drive the battery to tilt to the other side, forming a gap on the other side. Rotate the other lifting rod 3 to insert the other bottom support plate 5 into the gap. Then, straighten the battery. The other side of the battery is also pressed on the bottom support plate 5. At this time, the front, back, left and right sides of the battery are restricted by the sleeve frame 1, and the lower end is restricted by the bottom support plate 5. The battery can be moved by lifting the handle 4.
