[0002] The forklift front axle is a crucial component of a forklift. It connects the two front wheels, supports the weight of the forklift's front end, and is a key part for steering. It also carries and transmits power, transferring the engine's power to the drive wheels. The forklift front axle is typically a bridge structure welded from multiple metal parts. In the traditional forklift front axle welding process, one metal part is assembled and then another is welded simultaneously. This process is prone to assembly errors. To ensure accurate welding positions, the metal parts must be measured and marked with position lines before welding. The other metal part is then aligned with these lines and clamped using a clamping fixture before welding. Manual measurement and marking are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also susceptible to human error, leading to cumulative errors and ultimately resulting in a defective forklift front axle that cannot be used.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0029] Example
[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a forklift front axle assembly welding fixture is disclosed, which is used to precisely fix the forklift front axle 1. The forklift front axle 1 includes multiple perforated parts and multiple bent parts, wherein the bent parts include bent parts 11a, 12a, 13a, 14a, 15a, and 16a; the perforated parts are provided with round holes, and the perforated parts include perforated parts 11b, 12b, 13b, 14b, 15b, 16b, 17b, and 18b; the welding fixture 2 includes...
[0031] The base 3 has a metal plate that provides support.
[0032] Positioning components, multiple of which are fixedly mounted on the base 3, with the top of each positioning component supporting the bottom of the forklift front axle 1 so that it is suspended above the base 3, leaving welding space to facilitate welding of the forklift front axle 1. Positioning component 41 also abuts against one side of the forklift front axle 1 along the first direction X, and positioning components 44 and 46 abut against one side of the forklift front axle 1 along the second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y are two perpendicular horizontal directions. When the forklift front axle 1 is placed on the positioning components, it can be pushed along the first direction X to bring it close to positioning component 41, and also along the second direction Y to bring it close to positioning components 44 and 46, thus positioning the forklift front axle 1 from two horizontal directions. This avoids manual measurement and drawing of positioning lines, saves manpower, and improves welding accuracy.
[0033] The locating pins, which pass horizontally through the round holes of the perforated parts, connect multiple perforated parts in sequence according to the drawings. This not only reduces assembly errors but also improves assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the round holes and the locating pins have a transition fit, meaning the diameter of the locating pin is slightly smaller than the diameter of the round hole. This facilitates the assembly of the locating pins and the perforated parts and ensures their coaxiality, thus improving the alignment accuracy of the perforated parts. The locating elements 4 / 42 / 47 support the locating pins, which are preferably metal pins.
[0034] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the positioning member 46 located on the side of the forklift front axle 1 along the first direction X is provided with a step. The step is provided with a vertical kick surface 411 and a horizontal tread surface 412. The tread surface 412 supports the bottom of the forklift front axle 1, and the kick surface 411 abuts against the side of the forklift front axle 1 along the first direction X. The step is provided to facilitate pushing the forklift front axle 1 to be close to the positioning member 41 to achieve positioning.
[0035] Reference Figure 7 As shown, in order to improve the stability of the positioning pin, the top of the positioning member 4 / 42 / 47 supporting the positioning pin is provided with a circular positioning groove 48. The positioning member 4 / 42 / 47 is located in the circular positioning groove 48. The circular positioning groove 48 restricts the positioning pin and prevents it from rolling off the positioning member 4 / 42 / 47.
[0036] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the positioning element is a thin metal plate, which can reduce the overall weight of the fixture. Multiple thin metal plates are fixed to the base 3 in parallel and at intervals. The gaps between the positioning elements are used to avoid the perforated parts, resulting in a compact fixture structure.
[0037] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the positioning components 4 / 42 / 47 are supported at both ends of the positioning pin, which can stably support the positioning pin and also leave welding space on both sides of the forklift front axle 1 for easy welding.
[0038] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the installation positions, heights, and angles of the multiple perforated parts are different. Therefore, the positioning pin includes a first positioning pin 5, a second positioning pin 51, and a third positioning pin 52. The first positioning pin 5 extends along the first direction X to connect perforated parts 13b and 17b. The second positioning pin 51 extends along the first direction X to connect perforated parts 11b, 13b, 14b, and 18b. The third positioning pin 52 extends along the second direction Y to connect perforated parts 12b, 15b, and 16b. The first positioning pin 5 is positioned higher than the second positioning pin 51, and the second positioning pin 51 is positioned higher than the third positioning pin 52.
[0039] Reference Figure 4 and 5 As shown, in order to ensure the correct spacing between the perforated parts 18b and 14b, and between the perforated parts 13b and 11b, a positioning cylinder 43 extending along the first direction X is also included, with the two ends of the positioning cylinder 43 abutting against the perforated parts 18b and 14b respectively.
[0040] Reference Figure 5 As shown, further, in order to improve the stability of the positioning cylinder 43, the positioning cylinder 43 is sleeved on the second positioning pin 51.
[0041] Reference Figure 5As shown, in order to adjust the height of a portion of the forklift front axle 1 so that the forklift front axle 1 is level, an adjustment assembly is also included at the bottom of the forklift front axle 1. The adjustment assembly includes a fixed base 6 and an adjustment rod 61. The fixed base 6 is movably or fixedly mounted on the base 3. The fixed base 6 is provided with a screw hole. The surface of the adjustment rod 61 is provided with a thread. The top end of the adjustment rod 61 supports the forklift front axle 1. The bottom end of the adjustment rod 61 is threaded to the fixed base 6. The forklift front axle 1 can be adjusted by turning the adjustment rod 61 to raise or lower it.
[0042] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in order to adjust the overall height of the forklift front axle 1, four adjustment components are also included in an array arranged at the bottom of the forklift front axle 1.
[0043] Furthermore, the two positioning pieces 44 that abut against the front axle of the forklift along the second direction Y are connected by the connector 45. Similarly, the two positioning pieces 46 that abut against the front axle of the forklift along the second direction Y are connected by the connector 45.
[0044] The working principle of the forklift front axle 1 assembly and welding fixture described in this utility model is as follows:
[0045] Following the order in the drawings, fit the perforated parts 13b and 17b onto the first positioning pin 5, then fit the perforated parts 11b, 13b, positioning cylinder 43, 14b, and 18b onto the second positioning pin 51, and finally fit the perforated parts 12b, 15b, and 16b onto the third positioning pin 52. Next, place the third positioning pin 52, the second positioning pin 51, and the first positioning pin 5 onto their respective positioning parts. Then, place the bent part 11a... Folded parts 12a, 13a, 14a, 15a, and 16a are placed on their respective positioning parts. Then, the forklift front axle 1 is pushed in the first direction X to press against the kick surface 411. The forklift front axle 1 is then pushed in the second direction Y to abut against positioning parts 46 and 44. Finally, adjacent workpieces are clamped together using U-shaped clamps to complete the assembly of the forklift front axle 1. After welding, the three positioning pins and positioning cylinder 43 are removed, and then the forklift front axle 1 is lifted out as a whole.
[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
