Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a forklift, and more particularly to an anti-tipping forklift. Background Technology
[0002] Forklifts, as essential industrial handling equipment, are widely used in warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing, primarily for loading, unloading, stacking, and short-distance transport of goods. Traditional forklifts use hydraulic systems to drive the lifting and tilting of the forks, enabling efficient handling of palletized goods and significantly improving logistics efficiency. However, in practical use, forklifts present some safety hazards and technical bottlenecks during movement and operation, especially the potential for tipping over during cargo handling, which has become a significant factor restricting their safety and efficiency.
[0003] Firstly, traditional forklifts are prone to tipping over during operation, especially when handling heavy loads or traveling on uneven ground, due to an unstable center of gravity. The main causes of tipping include: 1) Center of gravity shift: When the forklift is overloaded or the load is improperly placed, the center of gravity shifts away from the support surface, causing the forklift to tip over or lean forward; 2) Ground conditions: When traveling on uneven or slippery ground, the stability of the forklift is significantly reduced, increasing the risk of tipping; 3) Improper operation: Sharp turns, rapid acceleration, or sudden braking by the driver can also cause tipping. Forklift tipping not only damages the goods but can also cause serious injury to the operator and surrounding equipment, and even lead to a safety accident.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an anti-tipping forklift. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Example: An anti-tipping forklift, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the forklift includes a forklift body 1, a fork carriage 2, a cover plate 3, a tilt sensor 4, an electric slide 5, a load block 6, an extension plate 7, a cylinder 8, a guide rod 9, and a hinge plate 11. The forklift body 1 has a lifting fork carriage 2 mounted on its mast for carrying and transporting goods 100. A frame is located at the bottom of the forklift body 1, with electric slides 5 symmetrically mounted on either side within the frame. A load block 6, sliding back and forth within the frame, is positioned between the sliders of the two electric slides 5. Driven by the electric slides 5, the load block 6 can adjust its position in the forklift body 1's chassis. When the forklift body 1's center of gravity is unstable, the position of the load block 6 can be adjusted to restore balance, thus achieving the effect of adjusting the overall center of gravity of the equipment and preventing unnecessary tipping. A cover plate 3 is attached to the frame, and a tilt sensor 4 is installed on the cover plate 3 to monitor the tilt angle. A digital display screen (not shown in the figure) is installed in the cab of the forklift body 1. The tilt sensor 4 can display the detected data... The signal is transmitted to the digital display screen, allowing the driver to monitor the movement and tilt of the equipment in real time. This improvement not only enhances the ease of operation but also further strengthens the safety of the operation. An extension plate 7 is installed on the top of the fork carriage 2. Cylinders 8 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the extension plate 7. The extension ends of the two cylinders 8 are arranged opposite each other, and a side plate 10 located on one side of the fork carriage 2 is connected to the extension end of each cylinder 8. Guide rods 9 are provided on both sides of the fork carriage 2, which slide and cooperate with the side plate 10 on the same side. A hinge plate 11 is also hinged to each side plate 10. The side plate 10 is driven by the cylinder 8 to slide along the guide rod 9. The distance between the two side plates 10 can be flexibly adjusted according to the width of the cargo 100. At the same time, the hinge plate 11 on the side plate 10 can be adjusted according to the specific shape and size of the cargo 100, ensuring that the cargo 100 is firmly fixed on the fork carriage 2, reducing the risk caused by shaking or instability during transportation, and improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.
[0023] In summary, by using the aforementioned components to dynamically adjust the center of gravity and fix the cargo 100 from multiple directions, the stability and safety of the forklift body 1 during the handling process are significantly improved, effectively preventing tipping accidents caused by the deviation of the cargo 100 or the instability of the forklift's center of gravity.
[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, it also includes buckles 12 and chains 13. The sides of the hinge plate 11 are provided with symmetrical buckles 12. The buckles 12 are provided with chains 13 for fixing the position of the goods 100. The chains 13 have a certain degree of flexibility and can be adjusted according to the specific shape and size of the goods 100, which increases the versatility and practicality of the equipment. Furthermore, the chains 13 can firmly bind the goods 100, which can significantly improve the stability of the goods 100 during the handling process and prevent the goods 100 from sliding or tipping over.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, a buckle 14 is also included. A buckle 14 is provided at the end of one side of the chain 13. The buckle 14 is matched with the chain 13 on the opposite side. By using the buckle 14 to firmly fasten the chains 13 on both sides together, the chain 13 can be effectively prevented from loosening or slipping, thereby ensuring that the goods 100 remain stable throughout the handling process and greatly improving the safety of transporting the goods 100.
[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes support columns 15 and baffles 16. Support columns 15 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the extension plate 7. Baffles 16 are slidably arranged between the two support columns 15. Baffles 16 can slide freely between the two support columns 15 and can flexibly adjust their position according to the height of the cargo 100. Baffles 16 can provide additional support and protection on the top of the cargo 100, effectively increasing the overall stability of the cargo 100, reducing shaking during transportation, and ensuring that the cargo 100 arrives at its destination safely.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes an adjustment plate 17, which is slidably disposed on the front side of the baffle 16. By sliding the adjustment plate 17, the overall length of the baffle 16 can be adjusted to ensure complete coverage of the top of the cargo 100.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a reinforcing frame 18, an additional frame 19, and a cover 20. The reinforcing frame 18 is symmetrically arranged on the rear side of the forklift body 1. An additional frame 19 with a cover 20 is arranged between the two reinforcing frames 18. The additional frame 19 provides additional space for the rear end of the forklift body 1 to place heavy objects. By adjusting the weight distribution in the additional frame 19, it can help balance the center of gravity of the goods 100, further improve the stability and safety of the operation of the forklift body 1, and reduce the risk of tipping over.
[0029] In operation, the driver first sits in the cab of the forklift body 1 and drives the entire equipment to the vicinity of the cargo 100. Then, based on the width of the cargo 100, the cylinder 8 is activated to drive the connected side plates 10 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between them to ensure sufficient space for the cargo 100 to enter. The driver then operates the fork carriage 2 to raise and lower, placing part of the cargo 100 on the forks. After ensuring the cargo 100 is stable, the operator adjusts the hinge plates 11 on both sides, ensuring they fit against one side of the cargo 100, and pulls the chains 13 on both sides to secure the cargo 100. The chains 13 on both sides are then locked using the latches 14 to secure the cargo 100's position. Simultaneously, the sliding baffle 16 slides along the support column 15, positioning the baffle 16 on top of the cargo 100. The adjustment plate 17 is then slid to completely cover the cargo 100, thus securing the cargo 100 to the left, right, and top sides to prevent the forklift body 1 from tipping over due to the cargo 100 tilting. During this process, the operator can also open the cover 20 and place the load in the additional frame 19 to stabilize the rear center of gravity of the forklift body 1, creating a symmetrical effect with the cargo 100. The driver can then move the forklift body 1, while the tilt sensor 4 monitors the overall tilt angle of the equipment in real time. The driver observes the data in the cab at any time. When the forklift body 1 becomes unstable and is about to tip over, the electric slide 5 can be activated to drive the connected load block 6 to move back and forth on the chassis of the forklift body 1, thereby adjusting the overall center of gravity of the forklift body 1 to maintain the balance of the entire equipment and prevent tipping.
