Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle dashboard technology, specifically relating to a forklift dashboard fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Forklifts are a common industrial transportation tool, widely used in warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing. The dashboard, as a crucial component of a forklift, primarily displays the forklift's operating status, fault information, and other key parameters. Its secure and reliable installation directly affects the safety and ease of forklift operation.

[0003] Existing forklift dashboards are typically secured using methods such as screw fastening, snap-fit ​​connections, or adhesive bonding during installation. Screw fastening is cumbersome and time-consuming during installation and disassembly, hindering quick dashboard replacement or maintenance. While snap-fit ​​connections improve installation efficiency to some extent, they are prone to loosening and insecure connections over time, especially in environments with frequent forklift vibrations, posing a safety hazard of dashboard loosening or even detachment. Adhesive bonding is highly susceptible to temperature and humidity changes, lacking reliability and making later disassembly and repair difficult, potentially leading to component damage.

[0004] Furthermore, in existing technologies, the installation and fixing of transparent covers for forklift dashboards mostly adopts direct press-fit or simple snap-locking methods. Due to the lack of effective limiting and matching design, the transparent cover is prone to loosening or falling off during forklift vibration or long-term use, affecting the clarity of dashboard readings and the overall protective effect.

[0005] In summary, existing forklift dashboard mounting devices generally suffer from problems such as complex installation and operation, poor fixing reliability, inconvenient maintenance and replacement, and easy loosening and detachment of the transparent cover. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a forklift dashboard fixing device, which can realize the quick installation and fixing of the dashboard body, the secure locking of the transparent cover, and the improved dashboard fixing device that can adapt to the vibration conditions of forklifts, so as to improve installation efficiency and safety of use.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A forklift dashboard mounting device includes a forklift body and a mounting base fixed on the forklift body. The mounting base is located near the steering wheel, and the dashboard body is mounted on the upper end of the mounting base. The dashboard body includes a housing that is snapped onto the upper end of the mounting base and a display screen mounted on the upper port of the housing. A stepped groove is provided on the outer side of the housing at the upper port, and a transparent cover that covers the display screen is detachably installed in the stepped groove.

[0009] Multiple evenly distributed hooks are provided near the edge of the stepped groove. The lower end of the hooks penetrates the bottom of the stepped groove and is pushed towards the edge and fastened to the mounting base.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting bracket includes a hanging rod, with a push block fixed to the upper end of the hanging rod and a hook fixed to the lower end of the hanging rod. Both sides of the push block are fixed with arc-shaped locking platforms.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the stepped groove is provided with a guide opening for the hanging rod to pass through and move. The bottom inner side of the stepped groove is fixed with a locking block on both sides of the guide opening. The side of the locking block facing the push block is provided with a latching groove that cooperates with the locking platform.

[0012] Furthermore, the front and rear side walls of the stepped groove are provided with slots, and the side walls of the slots are provided with grooves.

[0013] Furthermore, both the front and rear ends of the transparent cover are fixed with clips that fit into the slots, and both sides of the clips are fixed with ribs. The lower side of the transparent cover is provided with a clearance groove for the push block and the clip to cooperate.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper end of the mounting base has a mounting cavity, and a retaining edge is fixed inside the mounting cavity near the upper port. The retaining edge has a clearance opening for the hanging rod to pass through.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] By setting up a housing and a mounting bracket that mates with the mounting base, the mounting bracket engages with the edge of the clearance opening on the mounting base via a hook structure. Furthermore, the pusher blocks push the mounting plate into the slot of the locking block for limiting the position. This enables the instrument panel body to be quickly installed and stably fixed on the mounting base, avoiding the cumbersome installation and disassembly issues of traditional screw connection structures. It also improves installation efficiency and ease of maintenance, solving the technical problems of complex operation and inconvenient maintenance and replacement of existing forklift instrument panel installation methods.

[0017] By installing a transparent cover in the stepped groove of the outer shell, the transparent cover is fixed by the engagement of the clip and the slot, and is tightly connected to the slot by the rib. At the same time, the bottom of the transparent cover is provided with a clearance groove to avoid the push block and the locking block, so as to achieve a stable connection between the transparent cover and the outer shell. This effectively avoids the problem of the transparent cover loosening or falling off due to long-term vibration of the forklift, improves the fixing reliability and protection effect of the transparent cover, and solves the technical problems of the existing forklift instrument panel transparent cover being easy to loosen and fall off, affecting its service life and reading clarity.

[0018] By setting a mounting cavity on the mounting base, and setting a retaining edge and a clearance opening inside the mounting cavity, the mounting retaining edge can limit and position the instrument panel housing during insertion. After the hook passes through the clearance opening, it engages and is fixed with the retaining edge, thereby further improving the connection between the instrument panel body and the mounting base. This effectively prevents the instrument panel from loosening due to vibration or impact during forklift operation, and solves the technical problems of poor fixation reliability and insufficient safety in use of the existing structure.
