[0002] Forklifts are crucial equipment in industrial logistics, and the safety design and operational visibility of their cabs directly impact operational efficiency and personnel safety. Rearview mirrors, as a key component of the cab, effectively expand the driver's rearward field of vision, reducing blind spots and playing a vital role in ensuring safe forklift operation. Traditional forklift rearview mirror assemblies consist of the mirror body and a supporting structure located between the mirror body and the forklift cab, with the mirror positioned outside the cab. However, this design has some shortcomings in actual production and transportation processes.

[0003] During forklift production, assembly, and finished product transportation, traditional rearview mirrors, directly exposed outside the driver's cab, lack effective protection and are easily damaged by external impacts or pressure during transport, leading to mirror breakage or bracket deformation. To avoid such problems, the rearview mirrors are usually disassembled and packaged separately for transport. However, this not only increases the complexity of disassembly and installation but also increases the risk of rearview mirrors being missed due to human error, rendering the forklift unusable after delivery and impacting user experience. Furthermore, transporting rearview mirrors separately requires additional packaging resources and logistics space, increasing transportation costs. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment relates to a forklift rearview mirror assembly, which is installed on both sides of the cab. The rearview mirror assembly includes a front support rod 1 and a bracket 2. One end of the bracket 2 is provided with a rearview mirror body 3, which is connected to the front support rod 1 through the bracket 2. Two front support rods 1 are provided, and the two front support rods 1, together with two rear support rods and a top support structure, constitute the overhead guard of the forklift cab. In this embodiment, both front support rods 1 are provided with brackets 2 and rearview mirror bodies 3. In some other embodiments, brackets 2 and rearview mirror bodies 3 may be provided only on one front support rod 1. Specifically, as... Figure 3-5As shown, the bracket 2 is L-shaped, comprising a connecting plate 21 and a mounting plate 22. The rearview mirror body 3 is positioned behind the connecting plate 21. The mounting plate 22 extends forward from one end of the connecting plate 21. The exterior side of the front support rod 1 has a mounting hole 4, and the interior side of the front support rod 1 has a mounting hole 5. The exterior side of the front support rod 1 is the side where the two front support rods 1 are far apart, while the interior side of the front support rod 1 is the side where the two front support rods 1 are close together. The mounting plate 22 has two mounting holes 23, with two mounting holes 4 and two mounting holes 5. The two mounting holes 4 correspond to the two mounting holes 23, and the two mounting holes 25 correspond to the two mounting holes 23. The mounting plate 22 can be connected to both mounting holes 4 and 25 via fasteners.

[0029] During forklift production, to prevent the rearview mirror body 3 from being impacted, it is installed inside the overhead guard. The rearview mirror body 3, mounted on the bracket 2, does not need to be removed for separate transport. During installation, the outer side of the mounting plate 22 and the front support rod 1 of the bracket 2 are aligned, aligning the mounting hole 23 with the assembly hole 4. Threaded fasteners are then screwed into the mounting hole 23 and the assembly hole 4 in sequence, securing the mounting plate 22 to the outer side of the front support rod 1. At this point, the rearview mirror body 3 on the L-shaped bracket 2 is inside the forklift cab and will not be impacted during transport. The same method can be used to position the rearview mirror body 3 inside the forklift cab during transport of the finished forklift. This avoids the problem of transporting the rearview mirror body 3 separately, preventing its loss, and reducing transportation costs.

[0030] When the forklift is put into use, remove bracket 2 from the front support rod 1, and align the mounting plate 22 of bracket 2 with the inner side of the front support rod 1, aligning the mounting hole 23 with the assembly hole 5. Then, screw the threaded fasteners into the mounting hole 23 and the assembly hole 5 in sequence, fixing the mounting plate 22 to the inner side of the front support rod 1. At this time, the rearview mirror body 3 on the L-shaped bracket 2 is outside the forklift cab, enabling it to provide rearward visibility.

[0031] Furthermore, to improve the ease of installation of the bracket 2, this embodiment includes a positioning component 6 on the front support rod 1. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 and Figure 6The bracket 2 can fit against the top of the positioning component 6, which is used to support and position the bracket 2. Specifically, the positioning component 6 includes a support frame 61 fixedly mounted on the front support rod 1. The support frame 61 is U-shaped, and both mounting holes 4 and 5 are located above the support frame 61, with the heights of mounting holes 4 and 5 being the same. A positioning plate 62 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the support frame 61, and the bracket 2 is located between the positioning plate 62 and the front support rod 1. The top of the positioning plate 62 is bent backward, and a reinforcing rib 63 is provided on the inner side of the positioning plate 62. In this embodiment, the support frame 61 is fixedly mounted on the front support rod 1 by threaded fasteners. In other embodiments, the support frame 61 can also be fixedly connected to the front support rod 1 by welding, riveting, or other methods.

[0032] The support frame 61 has a front end plate, with two sides extending rearward to form an indoor support plate and an outdoor support plate, respectively. The front end plate of the support frame 61 supports the positioning connecting plate 21, while the indoor and outdoor support plates support the positioning mounting plate 22. The positioning plate 62 further positions the connecting plate 21. When the connecting plate 21 is positioned between the positioning plate 62 and the front support rod 1, the mounting hole 23 can be aligned with either the first mounting hole 4 or the second mounting hole 5, improving the ease of assembling the rearview mirror assembly. The top of the positioning plate 62 is bent rearward, making it easier for the connecting plate 21 to be inserted into the positioning plate 62 and the front support rod 1. The reinforcing rib 63 enhances the strength of the positioning plate 62, improves the structural stability of the positioning assembly 6, and enhances positioning accuracy.

[0033] In addition, a screw 7 is fixedly installed on the back of the rearview mirror body 3, and a connecting hole 24 corresponding to the screw 7 is provided on the connecting plate 21. When installing the rearview mirror body 3, the screw 7 is passed through the connecting hole 24 and fixed to the connecting plate 21 of the bracket 2 with a nut. In some other embodiments, the screw 7 can also be hinged to the rearview mirror body 3 through a hinge bracket, and the rearview mirror body 3 can also be installed on the connecting plate 21 through other rearview mirror connection structures. In addition, in other embodiments, the positioning component 6 may not be provided, and the bracket 2 may be fixed only by threaded fasteners.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] This embodiment relates to another forklift rearview mirror assembly. The difference between this assembly and the previous embodiment is that the support frame 61 in this embodiment does not have a positioning plate 62. Instead, a positioning block 64 cooperates with the support frame 61 to position the bracket 2. Furthermore, the connecting plate 21 has a lug 25 and a insert 26. Specifically, as... Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, a positioning block 64 is fixedly provided on the rear side of the support frame 61, and the positioning block 64 is provided with an insertion hole. A lug 25 is fixedly provided on the rear side of the connecting plate 21, and one end of the lug 25 is provided with an insertion rod 26 corresponding to the insertion hole. There are two lugs 25 and two insertion rods 26 on the rear side of the support frame 61, and the two insertion rods 26 are respectively provided at the ends of the two lugs 25 that are far apart.

[0036] During the positioning process, the bracket 2 is placed on top of the support frame 61, and the insertion rod 26 is inserted into the insertion hole of the positioning block 64 to complete the positioning of the bracket 2. The bracket 2 is provided with insertion rods 26 on both the upper and lower sides, ensuring that the rearview mirror body 3 can be positioned by the insertion rods 26 in conjunction with the insertion holes whether it is inside or outside the forklift cab.

[0037] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
