Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift instrument technology, specifically to an assembly structure of an electric forklift instrument controller. Background Technology
[0002] The instrument panel of an electric forklift mainly displays information such as vehicle speed, battery level, mileage statistics, and gear position, making it convenient for the driver to check the status of the forklift.
[0003] In related technologies, a search revealed a solution for a digital forklift instrument assembly mounting structure (announcement number CN217895060U). By setting an anti-detachment buckle, the mounting base and the fixing plate can be fixed with the cooperation of springs and U-shaped buckles. This eliminates the need to support the instrument when tightening the fixing screws. Moreover, since the forklift itself is prone to bumps during operation, which can cause the fixing screws to loosen, the anti-detachment buckle prevents the instrument from falling off due to loose fixing screws.
[0004] However, in the above solution, the instrument is fixed and tilted, and the viewing angle is fixed. Users of different heights may have difficulty reading the data clearly due to the fixed angle and need to frequently adjust their posture. The optimal viewing angle for the human eye is usually 10°-20° downward from the horizontal. If the instrument is positioned too low, users need to look down, which increases neck fatigue and also affects the driving of the forklift. This solution cannot meet the viewing needs of different groups of people. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an electric forklift instrument controller assembly structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an electric forklift instrument controller assembly structure, including an instrument, a connector is installed on the back of the instrument, the connector has a socket, the instrument is used to display information such as the electric forklift's speed, battery level, mileage statistics, and gear position, so that the driver can keep track of the electric forklift's information in a timely manner;
[0007] The support rod has several slots on its surface. The support rod is inserted into the insertion hole. The slots can provide support for the height adjustment of the instrument, and the height of the instrument can be flexibly changed to meet the needs of different people.
[0008] The elastic device is connected to the connecting seat and has a plug. The plug is inserted into the slot so that the instrument can be rotatably connected to the support rod through the connecting seat. Rotating the instrument can change the viewing angle and make the instrument adjustment more flexible.
[0009] Furthermore, a housing is installed on the side of the instrument via a limiter. The limiter includes a limit groove and a top post. The limit groove is placed on the side of the instrument, and the top post is fixed to the inner wall of the housing. The housing serves to shield the instrument from the sun, making it easier to clearly see the information displayed by the instrument.
[0010] Furthermore, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support rod. The fixing plate has fixing holes, which can be installed on the electric forklift to realize the installation of the instrument.
[0011] Furthermore, the elastic device includes a cylindrical shell and a spring located inside the cylindrical shell. The plug is inserted into the spring and has a baffle plate that is held in place by the spring. A cap that holds the spring is screwed to the end of the cylindrical shell. Threaded holes are provided on both the left and right sides of the connecting seat. Threads corresponding to the threaded holes are provided on the surface of the cylindrical shell. A pull head is fixedly connected to the end of the plug. Pulling the pull head quickly separates the plug from the slot, making it more convenient to adjust the instrument height.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] (1) By pulling the plug to separate the plug from the slot, the position of the connecting seat on the support rod can be adjusted up and down along the support rod to adjust the height of the instrument, meet the viewing needs of users of different heights, reduce neck fatigue, and viewing the instrument will not affect the driving of the electric forklift.
[0014] (2) The cover covers the instrument and uses the cover to shield the instrument from light. Even in a bright environment, the driver can still see the display content of the instrument clearly. The cover can be moved back and forth to adjust the degree of light shielding.
[0015] (3) The fixed plate is connected to the electric viewing device with four screws, which makes the installation of the instrument more convenient. The spring pushes the plug to be stably inserted into the slot, ensuring that the instrument will not rotate freely and improving the stability of the instrument installation.

[0022] 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.
[0023] Example:
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an electric forklift instrument controller assembly structure, including an instrument 6, the back of which is provided with an input connector 18, which is connected to the electric forklift via a CAN bus, and the instrument 6 is equipped with an LCD screen to digitally display information such as vehicle speed, battery level, mileage statistics, and gear position;
[0025] A connector 8 is mounted on the back of the instrument 6. The connector 8 has a socket 11 and is fixed to the instrument 6 by two screws.
[0026] The support rod 1 has several slots 4 on its surface. The support rod 1 is inserted into the insertion hole 11. The slots 4 are arranged at equal intervals to provide multiple support points for the instrument 6, thereby changing the height of the instrument 6.
[0027] The elastic device is connected to the connecting seat 8 and has a plug 10 connected to it. The plug 10 is inserted into the slot 4 so that the instrument 6 is rotatably connected to the support rod 1 through the connecting seat 8. The elastic device pushes the plug 10 against the slot 4, which can limit the rotation of the plug 10 along the slot 4, thereby preventing the connecting seat 8 and the instrument 6 from rotating. Manually pushing the instrument 6 to rotate left or right can change the viewing angle.
[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a housing 5 is installed on the side of the instrument 6 via a limiter. The limiter prevents the housing 5 from falling off the instrument 6 and allows the housing 5 to move back and forth. The housing 5 shields the instrument 6 from strong light, ensuring that the information displayed on the instrument 6 can be clearly seen in strong light environments. The housing 5 also provides some protection against impacts.
[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiter includes a limit groove 7 and a top post 17. The limit groove 7 is placed on the side of the instrument 6, and the top post 17 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 5. The top post 17 moves back and forth along the limit groove 7 to realize the back and forth movement of the housing 5. When it is not necessary to block the light of the instrument 6, the housing 5 moves backward.
[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support rod 1. The fixing plate 2 has fixing holes 3. Four screws are used to pass through the fixing holes 3 and connect to the electric forklift, so as to fix the support rod 1 to the electric forklift and realize the installation of the instrument 6.
[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the elastic device includes a cylindrical shell 13 and a spring 15 located inside the cylindrical shell 13. The plug 10 is inserted into the spring 15, and the plug 10 has a baffle 16 that is pressed against by the spring 15. A cap 14 that presses against the spring 15 is screwed to the end of the cylindrical shell 13. The cap 14 has a hole, and the left end of the plug 10 passes through the cap 14. The spring 15 pushes the plug 10 into the slot 4 through the baffle 16, so as to achieve a stable connection between the slot 4 and the plug 10.
[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, threaded holes 12 are provided on both the left and right sides of the connecting seat 8, and threads corresponding to the threaded holes 12 are provided on the surface of the cylindrical shell 13. By turning the cylindrical shell 13 to connect with the threaded holes 12 of the connecting seat 8, the cylindrical shell 13 and the connecting seat 8 are fixedly connected.
[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the plug 10 is fixedly connected to a pull head 9 at its end. Using the pull head 9, the plug 10 can be pulled with less effort, making it convenient to change the height of the instrument 6.
[0034] Specifically, in use, the fixed plate 2 is connected to the electric forklift with screws. When adjusting the angle of the instrument 6, the plug 10 is inserted into the slot 4 and the plug 10 can rotate in the slot 4. Therefore, rotating the instrument 6 can drive the connecting seat 8 and the cylinder shell 13 to rotate together, thereby adjusting the angle of the instrument 6.
[0035] The CAN bus uses a spiral spring cable, or the CAN bus has a certain length reserved. The length of the CAN bus is greater than the height adjustment range of the instrument 6. The CAN bus is covered with an outer jacket to prevent the CAN bus from being in a spread-out state. When adjusting the angle and height of the instrument 6, the CAN bus will not pull on the instrument 6, ensuring that the instrument 6 can be adjusted smoothly.
[0036] When changing the height of the instrument panel 6, use the pull head 9 to pull the plug 10 to move it. When the plug 10 is separated from the slot 4, the connecting seat 8 can move up and down along the support rod 1. After adjusting the connecting seat 8 and the instrument panel 6 to a suitable height, release the pull head 9. The spring 15 pushes the plug 10 into the corresponding slot 4 through the baffle 16, ensuring that the connecting seat 8 and the instrument panel 6 will not move down due to gravity, thus achieving the positioning of the height of the instrument panel 6, making it more convenient for the driver to view the instrument panel 6.
[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
