Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift technology, and in particular to forklift radiators. Background Technology

[0002] The primary function of a forklift radiator is to cool critical components such as the forklift engine and transmission. Additionally, many forklifts have mounting holes on the radiator for supporting and securing the water tank cover. During installation, accumulated assembly errors often cause the holes on the water tank cover to misalign with the mounting points on the radiator, making installation and adjustment very difficult. Furthermore, currently, the water tank filler neck on forklifts is directly welded to the radiator body. Adding antifreeze to the radiator often requires climbing onto the forklift, which is inconvenient and poses safety hazards, especially on large forklifts. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose a forklift radiator that achieves multi-dimensional flexible adaptation and is more convenient for installation and adjustment.

[0004] According to the present invention, a forklift radiator includes a radiator body, an inlet fixed to the upper right corner of the radiator body, a rubber tube sleeved on the outer surface of the inlet, a water filling component fixed to the other end of the rubber tube, and both ends of the rubber tube fixed by clamps. A fixing plate is fixed to the top center of the radiator body, and an adjusting bracket is fixed to the top of the fixing plate, and the adjusting bracket is fixed to the fixing plate by bolts.

[0005] The water supply assembly includes a water pipe fixed to the hose, and bracket two and bracket one are fixed to the left and right ends of the water pipe, respectively.

[0006] The adjusting bracket includes a C-shaped bracket, with a rivet nut fixed to the top inner side of the C-shaped bracket, a waist-shaped hole at the bottom of the C-shaped bracket, and a circular hole symmetrical to the center of the rivet nut at the top of the C-shaped bracket.

[0007] Preferably, the radiator body includes a radiator core, a wind-gathering shroud is fixed to the front end of the radiator core, mounting brackets located on the left and right sides of the wind-gathering shroud are fixed to one end of the radiator core, and supporting cylinders are fixed to both ends of the bottom of the radiator core.

[0008] Preferably, a water inlet is fixed at the top of the water pipe, and a degassing pipe communicating with it is fixed on the surface of the water pipe.

[0009] Preferably, both the first bracket and the second bracket have through holes.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing plate has threaded holes for fixing.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. A C-shaped bracket has been added between the radiator and the water tank cover for transition. When the water tank cover and the radiator mounting holes do not align, the bracket can be adjusted by adjusting the waist-shaped hole at the bottom for fine-tuning in all directions, achieving flexible adaptation in multiple dimensions and making installation and adjustment more convenient.

[0013] 2. Separate the water inlet from the water tank body, then connect them with a section of rubber hose. Then, install the water inlet on the vehicle body in a convenient position for adding water using bracket one and bracket two. Operators can add antifreeze without climbing, significantly reducing the risk of working at heights, and making water addition more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Reference Figure 1-4The forklift radiator includes a radiator body 1. A water inlet 13 is fixed to the upper right corner of the radiator body 1. The water inlet 13 is used to add antifreeze into the radiator body 1. A hose 3 is fitted onto the outer surface of the water inlet 13, allowing for easy adjustment of the position of the water filling component 2. The other end of the hose 3 is fixed to the water filling component 2. Both ends of the hose 3 are fixed with clamps 4, which can fix the two ends of the hose 3 to the water inlet 13 and the water pipe 23 respectively. A fixing plate 12 is fixed to the center of the top of the radiator body 1. An adjusting bracket 6 is fixed to the top of the fixing plate 12, and the adjusting bracket 6 is fixed to the fixing plate 12 with bolts 5. When the water tank cover does not align with the radiator mounting hole, the adjusting bracket 6 can be used to adjust it back and forth, left and right, making installation and adjustment more convenient.

[0020] The water supply assembly 2 includes a water pipe 23 fixed to the hose 3, and bracket 25 and bracket 1 24 are fixed to the left and right ends of the water pipe 23, respectively.

[0021] The adjusting bracket 6 includes a C-shaped bracket 61, with a rivet nut 62 fixed to the top of the inner side of the C-shaped bracket 61. The bottom of the C-shaped bracket 61 has a waist-shaped hole 611, and the top of the C-shaped bracket 61 has a round hole 612 symmetrical to the center of the rivet nut 62. The adjusting bracket 6 is welded together from a C-shaped bracket 61 and a rivet nut 62. When the bolt 5 fixes the adjusting bracket 6 to the fixing plate 12, it can be adjusted through the waist-shaped hole 611. When installing the water tank cover, the bolt 5 passes through the round hole 612 and is fixed to the rivet nut 62.

[0022] The radiator body 1 includes a radiator core 11. A wind concentrator 15 is fixed to the front end of the radiator core 11. The wind concentrator 15 improves wind energy utilization and protects the radiator core 11. One end of the radiator core 11 is fixed with mounting brackets 14 located on the left and right sides of the wind concentrator 15. The radiator body 1 can be mounted on a forklift through the mounting brackets 14. Supporting cylinders 16 are fixed at both ends of the bottom of the radiator core 11. The supporting cylinders 16 are used to contact the forklift chassis and provide stable support for the radiator body 1.

[0023] A water inlet 21 is fixed to the top of the water pipe 23, and a degassing pipe 22 connected to the water pipe 23 is fixed to the surface of the water pipe 23.

[0024] Both bracket 1 24 and bracket 2 25 have through holes, which can be round holes 612 or oblong holes 611. They can be fixed at any position on the forklift using the through holes on bracket 1 24 and bracket 2 25.

[0025] The fixing plate 12 has threaded holes for fixing. The adjusting bracket 6 is placed on the fixing plate 12, and then the adjusting bracket 6 is fixed on the fixing plate 12 with bolts 5 and threaded holes.

[0026] When using this device, the adjusting bracket 6 is pre-fixed to the fixing plate 12 using bolts 5, but the bolts 5 are not fully tightened at this time. Align the water tank cover with the mounting hole of the radiator body 1. If there is any deviation, it can be finely adjusted back and forth and left and right through the oblong hole 611 at the bottom of the adjusting bracket 6. After adjustment, tighten the bolts 5 to ensure that the adjusting bracket 6 and the fixing plate 12 are firmly connected. Finally, fix the water tank cover to the rivet nut 62 through the round hole 612 and bolts 5 to achieve flexible adaptation in multiple dimensions. Separate the water inlet 21 from the water inlet 13 of the radiator body 1 through the water pipe 23, and flexibly connect the two through the rubber hose 3. Using the through holes on the bracket 1 24 and bracket 2 25, fix the water filling component 2 in an easily accessible position on the forklift body, and lock both ends of the rubber hose 3 with the clamp 4 to ensure sealing.
