Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of driver's cabs, and in particular to a universal driver's cab mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of modern science and technology, port logistics and transportation are moving towards greater efficiency and speed. In order to adapt to product technology development, improve the return on product development, and reduce costs and maintenance costs, the universal and modular structural design of vehicles is particularly important.
[0003] The cabs used for forklifts, reach stackers, and stackers mostly have the same functions. The difference lies in the fact that forklifts and reach stackers require the use of a displacement mechanism. When designing the cabs for forklifts and reach stackers, the cab floor needs to be designed to connect with the displacement mechanism. In particular, the forklift cab's tilting hinge point directly connects the cab to the frame, and the cab floor reinforcement beams and other structures need to avoid the hydraulic cylinders. The floor cannot be interchanged, resulting in a wide variety of cab types, which brings trouble to supply chain management and cost control. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a universal cab mechanism that enables the same cab to be installed on different vehicle models through a tray, thereby achieving cab universality.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0006] This utility model provides a universal cab mechanism, including a cab body and a pallet. The pallet includes a front-end lifting pallet, a stacker pallet, and a forklift pallet. The cab body is connected to the front-end lifting frame via the front-end lifting pallet, the cab body is connected to the stacker frame via the stacker pallet, and the cab body is connected to the forklift frame via the forklift pallet.
[0007] The cab body includes a frame, the frame includes a forklift frame, and the front sides of the forklift frame are provided with grooves for avoiding the forklift repositioning mechanism.
[0008] Optionally, the front lifting pallet is connected to the front lifting displacement mechanism on the front crane frame.
[0009] Optionally, the front lifting pallet is a two-layer frame structure, with the lower structure connected to the displacement cylinder and the upper structure connected to the cab body. The lower structure is equipped with a reinforcing rod, and the upper structure is equipped with a connector for connecting to the cab body.
[0010] Optionally, the forklift pallet is connected to a forklift positioning mechanism on the forklift frame.
[0011] Optionally, the forklift pallet has a plate-like structure, with its bottom edge movably connected to the forklift positioning mechanism and its bottom center connected to the positioning cylinder.
[0012] Optionally, the cab body is connected to the forklift pallet via a shock absorber.
[0013] Optionally, the forklift pallet is bolted to the forklift chassis.
[0014] Optionally, the forklift pallet is a frame structure, and the forklift pallet is provided with several mounting platforms. The forklift pallet is installed at the bottom of the cab body by bolts engaging with bolt holes on the mounting platforms.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:
[0016] This utility model sets up three trays to install the cab body on three different frames, enabling different models to use the same cab body. For the forklift cab body, including the forklift frame, a groove is set on the forklift frame to avoid interference when the forklift positioning mechanism drives the cab body to move, thus achieving the universality of the cab for the three models.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Example 1
[0030] This embodiment provides a universal cab mechanism, including a cab body 7 and a pallet. The pallet includes a forklift pallet 1, a stacker pallet 2, and a front-end crane pallet 3. The cab body 7 is mounted on a forklift frame 4 via the forklift pallet 1 to form a complete forklift structure. The cab body 7 is mounted on a stacker frame 5 via the stacker pallet 2 to form a complete stacker structure. The cab body 7 is mounted on a front-end crane frame 6 via the front-end crane pallet 3 to form a complete front-end crane structure.
[0031] The three models use the same cab body 7, but are mounted on the corresponding chassis using different pallets.
[0032] Using the same cab body 7 can save on manufacturing costs. Only one mold and tooling need to be developed when producing the cab body 7, so as to achieve the commonality of the three types of cabs and significantly reduce development costs and cycle. Example 2
[0033] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the cab body 7 includes a forklift frame 8 and a stacker or front-end crane frame 9. The front sides of the forklift frame 8 are provided with grooves 12. The grooves 12 can avoid the displacement cylinder in the forklift displacement mechanism 11 on the frame, so as to avoid interference between the cab body 7 and the forklift frame 4 when the displacement cylinder drives the cab body 7 to move.
[0034] The forklift or reach stacker frame 9 does not have a recess at the front end. The only difference in the structure of the cab body 7 used in the three models is that the forklift frame 8 has a recess 12; the rest of the cab body 7 uses the existing structure.
[0035] The forklift pallet 1 has a plate-like structure. The front end of the forklift pallet 1 is trapezoidal, with narrower sides that are recessed inwards. After the cab body 7 is installed, it is located directly below the groove 12 at the front end of the forklift frame 8. The forklift pallet 1 is connected to the forklift positioning mechanism 11 on the forklift frame 4. The forklift positioning mechanism 11 controls the movement of the forklift pallet 1 and the cab body 7 together. By connecting the forklift pallet 1 to the forklift frame 4, the floor of the cab body 7 does not need to be designed with a structure to avoid hydraulic cylinders.
[0036] The cab body 7 is connected to the forklift pallet 1 via shock absorbers. The forklift pallet 1 is connected to the forklift positioning mechanism 11, and the forklift positioning mechanism 11 is connected to the forklift frame 4, thereby achieving a high degree of commonality with the cab body 7 of reach stackers and stackers. Furthermore, the addition of shock absorbers between the forklift pallet 1 and the cab body 1 provides vibration filtering and improves cab comfort.
[0037] The front-mounted lifting pallet 3 has a two-layer frame structure. The upper frame 31 is connected to the cab body 7 and is bolted to the lower frame 32. The lower frame 32 is connected to the front-mounted lifting positioning mechanism 10. The positioning cylinder is connected to the side of the lower frame 32 to drive the movement of the front-mounted lifting pallet 3 and the cab body 7. The rear end of the upper frame 31 is equipped with a connector for connecting to the cab body 7. A reinforcing rod 33 is provided inside the lower frame to improve the structural strength of the front-mounted lifting pallet 3.
[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the forklift pallet 2 has a frame structure and a certain height. It has mounting platforms 21 on the upper and lower edges. The mounting platform 21 on the upper edge is connected to the cab body 7 by bolt assembly, and the mounting platform 21 on the lower edge is connected to the forklift frame 5 by bolt.
[0039] like Figure 9 As shown, the cab body 7 consists of a frame, door assembly 13, electrical assembly 16, interior assembly 15, roof guard assembly 18, glass assembly 14, and accessory assembly 17. The cab body 7 used in the three models is the same except for the frame. The cab body 7 used in the reach stacker and forklift is exactly the same. The forklift uses a forklift frame 8 with grooves 12 added to both sides of the front end. Other design dimensions are exactly the same as the frame used in the reach stacker and forklift to adapt to and use the same door assembly 13, electrical assembly 16, interior assembly 15, roof guard assembly 18, glass assembly 14, and accessory assembly 17.
[0040] During assembly, the cab body 7 is mounted on the forklift bracket via the forklift pallet 1, on the front crane frame 6 via the front crane pallet 3, and on the stacker frame 5 via the stacker pallet 2. This makes the cabs used in the three models interchangeable.
[0041] During production, only one mold and tooling needs to be developed for the main body 7 of the cab, realizing the universality of the three types of cabs, greatly reducing development costs and cycle, and realizing the concept of cab universalization and modular design.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
