Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklifts, specifically to a sliding rail type adjustable forklift seat. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional forklift seats are typically fixed to the cab using threaded fasteners or welding, making installation and maintenance cumbersome and lacking lateral adjustment. When operating in confined warehouses or high-bay racking systems, the driver's view is easily obstructed by the steering wheel and mast structure. Because the seat position cannot be adjusted laterally and is fixed to the left side of the hood, the driver is forced to maintain an unnatural sitting posture for extended periods to observe the forks and goods, leading to increased operator fatigue, decreased operational accuracy, and safety hazards. Existing forklift seats fail to meet the driver's individual needs for operating space and visibility, limiting the ergonomics and adaptability of forklifts. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sliding rail adjustable forklift seat, which solves the problem of insufficient convenience in installation, maintenance and position adjustment of existing forklift seats.

[0004] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A sliding rail adjustable forklift seat includes a hood and an assembly disposed above the hood. The assembly is provided with a seat cushion. A sliding component is provided at the bottom of the assembly along the lateral direction of the forklift seat. The hood is provided with a sliding mating component corresponding to the sliding component. A locking component is provided on one side of the assembly. When the locking component is embedded in the hood, the sliding component and the sliding mating component are relatively fixed.

[0006] As a further optimization of this utility model, the sliding component is a slide rod fixed to the bottom of the assembly, and the sliding mating component is a slide rail fixed to the top of the machine cover.

[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, the locking component includes a limiting frame fixed to one side of the assembly and a positioning component slidably disposed inside the limiting frame and penetrating the bottom wall of the limiting frame. The machine cover is provided with a positioning hole corresponding to the positioning component.

[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the positioning member is spring-loaded to the top wall of the limiting frame.

[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the limiting frame includes a housing and an inner plate fixed inside the housing, and an outer plate fixed outside the housing. The positioning element includes a mounting bracket disposed between the inner plate and the outer plate, and a positioning pin fixed to the bottom of the mounting bracket.

[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, the locking member is provided with a pulling component for adjusting the height of the positioning member.

[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the traction assembly includes a guide wheel fixed to the top of the limiting frame and a pull ring located on one side of the guide wheel. The pull ring is connected to the guide wheel and the positioning component by a pull rope.

[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, a limiting member is provided on one side of the locking member. The limiting member includes a bracket and a limiting post provided on one side of the bracket. The limiting post is used to limit the pull ring.

[0013] As a further optimization of this utility model, the traction component includes a handle fixed to the top of the positioning member, and the limiting frame is provided with a waist hole corresponding to the handle.

[0014] As a further optimization of this utility model, the top of the machine cover is provided with a support roller for supporting the assembly.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] The forklift seat of this utility model is a transverse sliding rail seat. The forklift is not obstructed by the steering wheel and counterweight in the transverse direction. The sliding part under the assembly is moved laterally along the sliding mating part. After the sliding part is in place, the locking part is embedded in the machine cover, which can complete the positioning and installation of the seat cushion on the assembly. The locking part is pulled out from the machine cover, and the assembly can be moved and disassembled, which improves the convenience of installing and maintaining the forklift seat.

[0017] This invention adjusts the height of the locking component using a pulling assembly to allow for the lateral movement of the assembly and seat. During the lateral movement of the seat, the positioning component abuts against the machine cover, creating frictional resistance between the assembly and the machine cover, thus preventing the seat from becoming unstable. When the driver's view is obstructed by the steering wheel or mast structure, the driver can change their field of vision by moving the seat, eliminating the need to sit sideways in an unnatural posture to observe the forks and cargo, thereby improving operational accuracy and preventing driver fatigue.

[0027] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0028] Example

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment relates to a sliding rail adjustable forklift seat. The forklift seat includes a cover 1 and an assembly 2 located above the cover 1. The assembly 2 has a seat cushion 3 with a groove corresponding to the seat cushion 3. In this embodiment, the seat cushion 3 is detachably fixed in the groove of the assembly 2. A sliding component 4 is provided at the bottom of the assembly 2 along the lateral direction of the forklift seat, and a sliding mating component 5 corresponding to the sliding component 4 is provided on the cover 1. The sliding component 4 is a sliding rod fixed to the bottom of the assembly 2, and the sliding rod has an I-shaped cross-section. The sliding mating component 5 is a slide rail fixed to the top of the cover 1, and the slide rail has a T-shaped groove. The lateral direction of the forklift seat is perpendicular to the forklift's travel direction. In this embodiment, the assembly 2 has two sliding rods at its bottom, and two corresponding slide rails are provided on the cover 1. In some other embodiments, the number of slide rods and slide rails can be adjusted, or the slide rods and slide rails can be arranged in reverse, that is, the slide rails are arranged as sliding parts 4 at the bottom of the assembly 2, and the slide rods are arranged as sliding mating parts 5 at the top of the cover 1.

[0030] A locking element 6 is provided on one side of the assembly 2. When the locking element 6 is embedded in the cover 1, the sliding component 4 and the sliding mating component 5 are relatively fixed, thus achieving the locking effect of the locking element 6 on the assembly 2. Since the forklift has no steering wheel or counterweight obstructing its lateral movement, the sliding component 4 below the assembly 2 is moved laterally along the sliding mating component 5. After the sliding component 4 is in place, the locking element 6 is embedded in the cover 1, thus completing the positioning and installation of the seat cushion 3 on the assembly 2. Furthermore, by removing the locking element 6 from the cover 1, the assembly 2 can be moved and disassembled, reducing the difficulty of installing and maintaining the forklift seat.

[0031] Specifically, the locking component 6 includes a limiting frame 61 fixed to one side of the assembly 2 and a positioning component 62 slidably disposed inside the limiting frame 61 and penetrating the bottom wall of the limiting frame 61. The cover 1 is provided with positioning holes corresponding to the positioning components 62. The limiting frame 61 includes a housing 611, an inner plate 612 fixed inside the housing 611, and an outer plate 613 fixed outside the housing 611. The positioning component 62 includes a mounting bracket 621 disposed between the inner plate 612 and the outer plate 613, and a plurality of positioning pins 622 fixed to the bottom of the mounting bracket 621. The positioning pins 622 penetrate the bottom wall of the housing 611, and the positioning holes provided on the cover 1 correspond one-to-one with the positioning pins 622. The mounting bracket 621 is U-shaped, and its two ends are respectively attached to the front and rear side walls of the housing 611. Several springs 63 are provided between the mounting bracket 621 and the top wall of the housing 611. After the mounting part 2 is in place, the positioning part 62 is embedded into the cover 1 under its own weight and the elastic force of the springs 63, and the positioning pin 622 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking member 6 is equipped with a pulling assembly 7 for adjusting the height of the positioning member 62. The pulling assembly 7 includes a guide wheel 71 fixed to the top of the limiting frame 61 and a pull ring 72 located on one side of the guide wheel 71. The pull ring 72 is connected to the guide wheel 71 and the positioning member 62 by a pull rope. Specifically, the pull rope passes from the outside of the pull ring 72, through the guide wheel 71, and through the top wall of the housing 611 before connecting to the mounting frame 621. A limiting member 8 is provided on one side of the locking member 6. The limiting member 8 includes a bracket 81 and a limiting post 82 located on one side of the bracket 81. The limiting post 82 is used to limit the pull ring 72. The bracket 81 is fixedly located below the top edge of the assembly 2. There are two limiting posts 82, one of which is close to the positioning member 62 and the other is away from the positioning member 62. The top of the cover 1 is equipped with two sets of support rollers 9 for supporting the assembly 2.

[0033] Before installing the forklift seat, the locking member 6 can be pressed downward against the hood 1 to move the positioning pin 622 toward the inside of the housing 611; alternatively, the mounting bracket 621 can be pulled up using the pull ring 72 in conjunction with the pull rope and guide wheel 71 to move the positioning pin 622 toward the inside of the housing 611. When installing the forklift seat, the sliding member 4 is slidably connected to the sliding mating member 5, and the mounting part 2 is moved laterally. When the mounting part 2 moves to the point where the seat cushion 3 is directly opposite the forklift steering wheel, the mounting part 2 is in place. At this time, under the action of the spring force 63 and the weight of the positioning member 62, the positioning pin 622 is embedded in the positioning hole on the hood 1. Then, the pull ring 72 can be sleeved on the limiting post 82 near the positioning member 62 to fix the position of the pull ring 72.

[0034] When it is necessary to release the locking effect of the locking component 6 on the assembly 2, the mounting bracket 621 can be pulled up by the pull ring 72 in conjunction with the pull rope and guide wheel 71, so that the positioning pin 622 can be separated from the positioning hole. Then the pull ring 72 can be sleeved on the limiting post 82 away from the positioning component 62, so that the positioning pin 622 remains separated from the positioning hole, which facilitates the subsequent lateral movement of the assembly 2 and makes it convenient to adjust the lateral position of the seat cushion 3. This allows the adjustment of the seat cushion 3 to be completed with one hand, thereby improving the convenience of adjusting the position of the seat cushion 3.

[0035] In addition, such as Figure 7 As shown, in some other embodiments, the pulling assembly 7 can also be replaced by a handle 73 fixed to the top of the positioning member 62, and the limiting frame 61 has a waist hole corresponding to the handle 73. The handle 73 is L-shaped, with its bottom end fixed to the top of the mounting frame 621, and the other end of the handle 73 extending upward and bending outward toward the outer side of the housing 611 to penetrate the outer plate 613. The height of the positioning member 62 can be adjusted by moving the handle 73 up and down. In addition, in some other embodiments, the pulling assembly 7 may not be provided on the locking member 6. Figure 8 As shown, several openings can be provided at the bottom of the outer plate 613, and notches corresponding to the openings can be provided on the bottom wall of the housing 611. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 621 can be moved up and down by hand from the notches and openings.

[0036] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
