Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of anti-collision buffer devices, specifically an anti-collision buffer device for a forklift side cover. Background Technology
[0002] Forklift side covers are an important component of the forklift's body structure, typically located on the sides of the forklift. They serve to protect the forklift and also contribute to its aesthetic appeal. Forklift side covers are usually made of lightweight yet strong materials such as metal or plastic. Metal side covers offer high strength and durability, capable of withstanding significant impacts, while plastic side covers provide better corrosion resistance and insulation, and are relatively cheaper. During manufacturing, forklift side covers undergo stamping, injection molding, and other processes to ensure good dimensional accuracy and surface quality. Existing forklift side covers typically rely on the strength of the material itself for protection, resulting in poor impact cushioning and making them prone to damage, thus reducing their service life. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a forklift side cover anti-collision buffer device, which effectively solves the problem that the existing forklift side covers usually rely on the strength of their own materials for protection, which has poor anti-collision buffer effect and is prone to damage to the side covers.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a forklift side cover anti-collision buffer device, comprising a forklift body, with equipment cavities on both sides of the forklift body, mounting grooves on the upper and lower parts of the inner wall of one side of each of the two equipment cavities, two slots in the middle of the inner wall of one side of each of the two equipment cavities, limiting slide rods fixedly installed at the four corners of the inner wall of one side of each of the two equipment cavities, limiting sleeves fitted on one end of the surface of each of the eight limiting slide rods, a side cover body fixedly installed between the surfaces of the four limiting sleeves on the same side, a first spring fitted on the other end of the surface of each of the eight limiting slide rods, the two ends of the eight first springs being fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of each of the two equipment cavities and one end of each of the eight limiting sleeves, four rotating frames fixedly installed on the side of each of the two side cover bodies that are close to each other, a pushing wheel rotatably installed on one end of each of the eight rotating frames, and elastic buffer components provided inside the four mounting grooves and four slots.
[0005] Preferably, the elastic buffer assembly includes four pushing discs and eight transmission plates. The four pushing discs are inserted into the interior of four slots, and the eight transmission plates are in close contact with the surfaces of eight pushing wheels. A pushing column is fixedly installed on one side of each of the four pushing discs, and one end of each of the four pushing columns is fixedly connected to two side cover bodies respectively. Two limiting grooves are symmetrically opened on the inner walls of each of the four slots. Two limiting sliders are symmetrically fixedly installed on the circumferential surfaces of each of the four pushing discs. The limiting sliders are slidably installed inside the limiting grooves respectively. A third spring is provided inside each of the four slots, and the two ends of each of the four third springs are fixedly connected to one end of the inner wall of the slot and the other side of the pushing disc respectively.
[0006] Preferably, a rectangular sliding sleeve is fixedly installed on one side of the transmission plate via a support arm. Four rectangular sliding rods are inserted between the eight rectangular sliding sleeves. An installation strip is fixedly installed on the middle of the surface of each of the four rectangular sliding rods. Both ends of each of the four rectangular sliding rods are fixedly connected to the inside of the equipment cavity via a fixing seat.
[0007] Preferably, each of the rectangular slide bars is fitted with two second springs, and the two ends of the eight second springs are respectively fixedly connected to the mounting strip and the rectangular slide sleeve.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the side cover body is impacted during use, the side cover body will move into the equipment cavity. When the side cover body moves into the equipment cavity, it will drive the four limiting slide sleeves to slide along the surface of the four limiting slide rods, and at the same time compress the four first springs, so as to provide the first layer of buffering through the elastic force of the first springs. While the side cover body moves into the equipment cavity, it will also drive the two pushing plates to move into the slot through the two pushing columns. When the pushing plates move, they will drive the limiting slider to slide inside the limiting slide groove, which will increase the stability of the pushing plates when they move. When the pushing plates move into the slot, they will compress the third spring, so as to provide the second layer of buffering through the elastic force of the third spring.
[0009] When the side cover body moves into the equipment cavity, it also drives four pushing wheels through four rotating frames to press and move four transmission plates. When the four transmission plates are pressed and moved, they will drive the rectangular sliding sleeve to slide along the surface of the rectangular sliding rod through the support arm, and at the same time, they will be compressed by the second spring. The elastic force of the second spring provides a third layer of buffering. Through triple buffering, the side cover body can be effectively protected. This gives the forklift side cover good buffering performance, which can greatly reduce the impact force of the impact and has a very good protective effect. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Depend on Figures 1 to 5 The present invention includes a forklift body 1, with equipment cavities 2 on both sides of the forklift body 1. The upper and lower parts of the inner wall of one side of each of the two equipment cavities 2 are provided with mounting grooves 3. Two slots 4 are provided in the middle of the inner wall of one side of each of the two equipment cavities 2. Limiting slide rods 5 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the inner wall of one side of each of the two equipment cavities 2. Limiting sleeves 6 are fitted on one end of the surface of each of the eight limiting slide rods 5. Side cover bodies 8 are fixedly installed between the surfaces of the four limiting sleeves 6 on the same side. First springs 7 are fitted on the other end of the surface of each of the eight limiting slide rods 5. The two ends of the eight first springs 7 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of each of the two equipment cavities 2 and one end of each of the eight limiting sleeves 6, respectively.
[0020] When in use, when the side cover body 8 is impacted, the side cover body 8 will move into the equipment cavity 2. When the side cover body 8 moves into the equipment cavity 2, it will drive the four limiting slide sleeves 6 to slide along the surface of the four limiting slide rods 5, and at the same time squeeze the four first springs 7, and the elastic force of the first springs 7 will provide the first layer of buffering.
[0021] Each of the two side cover bodies 8 has four rotating brackets 9 fixedly installed on the side that is close to each other. Each of the eight rotating brackets 9 has a pusher wheel 10 rotatably installed at one end. The four mounting slots 3 and the four slots 4 are equipped with elastic buffer components.
[0022] As the side cover body 8 moves into the equipment cavity 2, it also undergoes a second and third layer of buffering through the elastic buffer component. The triple buffering effectively protects the side cover body 8, giving the forklift side cover excellent buffering performance, which greatly reduces the impact force of the collision and provides very good protection.
[0023] The elastic buffer assembly includes four pushing discs 18 and eight transmission plates 11. The four pushing discs 18 are inserted into the interior of four slots 4. The eight transmission plates 11 are in close contact with the surface of eight pushing wheels 10. A pushing column 17 is fixedly installed on one side of each of the four pushing discs 18. One end of each of the four pushing columns 17 is fixedly connected to two side cover bodies 8. Two limiting grooves 22 are symmetrically opened on the inner wall of each of the four slots 4. Two limiting sliders 19 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of each of the four pushing discs 18. The limiting sliders 19 are slidably installed inside the limiting grooves 22. A third spring 20 is provided inside each of the four slots 4. The two ends of each of the four third springs 20 are fixedly connected to one end of the inner wall of the slot 4 and the other side of the pushing disc 18, respectively.
[0024] As the side cover body 8 moves into the equipment cavity 2, it also drives the two pushing plates 18 to move into the slot 4 through the two pushing columns 17. When the pushing plates 18 move, they will drive the limiting slider 19 to slide inside the limiting groove 22, which increases the stability of the pushing plates 18 when they move. When the pushing plates 18 move into the slot 4, they will squeeze the third spring 20, and the elastic force of the third spring 20 will provide a second layer of buffering.
[0025] A rectangular sliding sleeve 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the transmission plate 11 via a support arm 12. Four rectangular sliding rods 14 are inserted between the eight rectangular sliding sleeves 13. An installation strip 15 is fixedly installed on the middle of the surface of each of the four rectangular sliding rods 14. Both ends of each of the four rectangular sliding rods 14 are fixedly connected to the inside of the equipment cavity 2 via a fixing seat 21. Two second springs 16 are sleeved on the surface of each of the eight rectangular sliding rods 14. Both ends of each of the eight second springs 16 are fixedly connected to the installation strip 15 and the rectangular sliding sleeve 13, respectively.
[0026] When the side cover body 8 moves into the equipment cavity 2, it will also drive the four pushing wheels 10 to squeeze the four transmission plates 11 to move through the four rotating frames 9. When the four transmission plates 11 are squeezed and moved, they will drive the rectangular sliding sleeve 13 to slide along the surface of the rectangular sliding rod 14 through the support arm 12, and at the same time, the second spring 16 will squeeze them, and the elastic force of the second spring 16 will provide a third layer of buffering.
