Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tilt cylinder component protection technology, specifically relating to a pin protection device for a forklift mast tilt cylinder. Background Technology

[0002] In mechanical transmission systems, especially on equipment requiring efficient and stable operation, such as forklift masts, the rational design of the lubrication system is crucial. Figure 1 As shown, the connecting pin 100 is a key component connecting the gantry and the tilting cylinder. Its stability and durability are directly related to the performance of the entire equipment. The connecting pin is fixed on the gantry, ensuring its accurate positioning and stable support during operation. The lubricating oil cup 200 undertakes the important task of providing necessary lubrication for the connecting pin and the tilting cylinder. The lubricating oil cup is fixed on the connecting pin, which allows the lubricating oil to be smoothly delivered to the parts that need lubrication, thereby effectively reducing friction and extending the service life of the components.

[0003] In existing technologies, the design of the connecting pin end face is often relatively simple, usually adopting a flat design. While this design meets basic installation and usage requirements to a certain extent, it poses a significant challenge to the fixing and protection of the lubricating oil cup. Because the lubricating oil cup protrudes from the connecting pin, it is highly susceptible to impacts from the external environment during operation, leading to damage. This not only affects the normal operation of the lubrication system but may also threaten the stable operation of the entire equipment. At the same time, the external lubricating oil cup in the traditional method has obvious shortcomings in sealing and dust prevention. In harsh working environments, dust, moisture, and other impurities can easily enter the lubrication system through the gap between the lubricating oil cup and the connecting pin, thereby contaminating the lubricating oil and reducing its lubrication performance. Over time, this will inevitably lead to accelerated wear of the connecting pin and the tilting cylinder, thus shortening the service life of the equipment. In summary, there is an urgent need for a connecting pin protection device for the tilting cylinder of a forklift mast. Utility Model Content
