Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift component technology, specifically a modular frame assembly for a dual-drive electric balance forklift. Background Technology
[0002] The modular frame assembly of a dual-drive electric counterbalance forklift is a key structural component of the forklift. It is a structural system in which the frame is designed as a combination of multiple modules. These modules typically include drive modules, load-bearing modules, and counterbalance modules, which are combined together through specific connection methods to form a complete frame.
[0003] The modular frame assembly of existing dual-drive electric counterbalance forklifts still has the following problems during use: stress concentration may occur at the module connection points. During frequent forklift operation, the connection points are subjected to alternating loads, and stress concentration may cause fatigue cracks to appear at the connection points prematurely, affecting the service life of the frame assembly.
