Detailed Implementation

[0030] The attachments for long-distance hose retraction are used in conjunction with forklifts, which provide power to enable automatic hose retraction.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the long-distance hose reel attachment mainly consists of three parts: hose reel module 1, base module 2, and power transmission module 3.

[0032] The hose reel module 1 is responsible for the collection and release of the hose and is the core component of the hose collection and release operation.

[0033] The base module 2 supports the rotation of the hose reel module 1 and is fixedly connected to the forklift to ensure the stability of the attachment during operation.

[0034] The power transmission module 3 transmits the power of the forklift to the hose reel module 1, driving the hose reel to rotate and realize the winding and unwinding of the hose.

[0035] The base module 2 is an important component of this invention. It not only supports the rotational movement of the hose reel module 1 but also provides a fixed connection to the forklift. The specific structure of the base module 2 is as follows:

[0036] The welded base 202 is the main part of the base module 2. It is made by welding and has sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the weight of the hose reel module 1 and various forces during operation.

[0037] The forklift mounting spout 203 is located at the bottom of the welded base 202 and mates with the forklift's forks to secure attachments to the forklift. The size and shape of the forklift mounting spout 203 match the forklift's forks to ensure that attachments can be securely mounted on the forklift.

[0038] The movable rotating shaft support 201 is located on the upper part of the welding base 202 and is used to install the movable rotating shaft 103 of the hose reel module 1.

[0039] Optionally, a bearing is provided in the movable rotating shaft support 201, so that the movable rotating shaft 103 can rotate freely therein, ensuring the smooth operation of the hose reel module 1.

[0040] The squeezing rods 204 are installed on the front and rear sides of the welded base 202 to squeeze out the water in the water hose during the hose reeling process. Preferably, the squeezing rods 204 are made of elastic material, which has a certain degree of flexibility and wear resistance, and can effectively squeeze out water without damaging the water hose, thereby reducing the weight of the water hose and improving the reeling efficiency.

[0041] The protective net 205 is installed on the left and right sides of the welded base 202 to protect the hose reel module 1 from external damage. The protective net 205 is made of high-strength steel wire and has sufficient strength and toughness to resist the impact and collision during operation, ensuring the safe operation of the hose reel module 1.

[0042] The hose reel module 1 is responsible for the collection and release of the hose. Its specific structure is as follows:

[0043] The hose rack 101 is the main part of the hose reel module 1. It adopts an "H" shaped frame structure and consists of two side guards and a middle drum. The side guards are welded from steel pipes, and the drum has a smooth surface design to reduce the frictional resistance of the hose during the winding process and ensure smooth winding and release of the hose.

[0044] The movable rotating shaft 103 is installed inside the drum of the hose reel 101 and is the rotating shaft of the hose reel module 1. The movable rotating shaft 103 is made of high-strength alloy steel and has sufficient load-bearing capacity and wear resistance. One end of it is installed in the movable rotating shaft support 201 through a bearing, and the other end is connected to the power input shaft 301 of the power transmission module 3 to realize the transmission of power.

[0045] The rotating shaft fixing plate 104 is fixed on both sides of the hose frame 101 to fix the movable rotating shaft 103. The rotating shaft fixing plate 104 consists of a fixing plate body and a fixing plate cylinder. The fixing plate body is made of high-strength steel and is welded to the edge of the hose frame 101 to ensure the stability of the rotating shaft fixing plate 104. The fixing plate cylinder is provided with a through hole that matches the movable rotating shaft 103, so that the movable rotating shaft 103 can pass freely through it. After the movable rotating shaft 103 passes through the rotating shaft fixing plate 104 into place, it is fixedly connected to the rotating fixing plate 104 with a pin.

[0046] The hose head clamp 102 is installed on the hose holder 101 to hold the hose head and prevent the hose from falling off during winding. The hose head clamp 102 is made of high-strength steel and has sufficient strength and toughness. One end is hinged to the hose holder 101, and the other end is detachably connected to the hose holder 101 through a pin with a hole and a pin plate, which facilitates the installation and removal of the hose head.

[0047] The power transmission module 3 is the power source of this invention, responsible for transmitting the power of the forklift to the hose reel module 1, driving the hose reel to rotate. Its specific structure is as follows:

[0048] The power transmission module 3 can be either a hydraulic motor or an electric motor; the hydraulic motor has the characteristics of sufficient power and stable operation, and is suitable for occasions that require large torque; the electric motor has the characteristics of simple structure and convenient maintenance, and is suitable for occasions where the requirements for speed and torque are not high; the power source for the hydraulic motor or the electric motor is provided by the forklift.

[0049] The power input shaft 301 is the output shaft of the power transmission module 3. It is fixedly connected to one end of the movable rotating shaft 103 via a coupling to realize the transmission of power. The power input shaft 301 is made of high-strength alloy steel, which has sufficient load-bearing capacity and wear resistance. Its surface is precision machined to ensure a tight fit with the coupling and smooth operation.

[0050] The coupling is the connecting component between the power transmission module 3 and the movable rotating shaft 103, used to transmit power and torque. The coupling can be either a flexible coupling or a rigid coupling, and the appropriate type can be selected according to actual needs. Flexible couplings have the ability to compensate for displacement and angular misalignment between the two shafts and are suitable for occasions where coaxiality requirements are not high. Rigid couplings, on the other hand, have the characteristics of simple structure and large torque transmission and are suitable for occasions where coaxiality requirements are high.

[0051] The working principle of the long-distance hose reel attachment of the present invention is as follows:

[0052] (1) Install attachments: Secure the attachments to the forklift through the forklift forklift mounting port 203 to ensure the stability of the attachments.

[0053] (2) Connecting the hose: Insert the hose head into the hose head clamp 102 to ensure that the hose will not fall off during the winding process.

[0054] (3) Start the forklift: Start the forklift and provide power to the power transmission module 3 through the hydraulic system or electric system of the forklift.

[0055] (4) Power transmission: The power input shaft 301 of the power transmission module 3 is connected to the movable rotating shaft 103 through a coupling to transmit power to the water hose reel module 1.

[0056] (5) Hose winding and unwinding: By controlling the switch of the hydraulic system or electrical system of the forklift, the rotation direction and speed of the power transmission module 3 are controlled, thereby driving the hose reel module 1 to rotate and realize the winding and unwinding of the hose. During the winding and unwinding process, the squeezing rod 204 will squeeze the water in the hose, reduce the weight of the hose, and improve the winding and unwinding efficiency.

[0057] (6) Complete the operation: After the water hose is retracted, turn off the hydraulic or electrical system of the forklift, unload the attachments from the forklift and store them in the designated location.

[0058] This long-distance hose reel attachment boasts high efficiency and convenience, strong compatibility, powerful power transmission, and comprehensive safety protection measures. It can greatly improve the efficiency and convenience of hose reeling and deployment, meeting the needs of modern and efficient operations. At the same time, its reasonable structural design, ease of use, and ease of maintenance and upkeep make it a promising tool for the market.
