Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transport vehicles, and in particular to a high-lift all-electric transport vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] A pallet truck is a logistics handling device used to move goods. When used in a handling station, a manual pallet truck inserts its forks into the pallet holes, and a hydraulic system driven by human power lifts and lowers the palletized goods, which are then pulled manually to complete the handling operation. Currently, there is also a semi-electric pallet truck on the market, which uses electricity to raise and lower the forks, but still requires manual pulling to complete the handling operation, resulting in low work efficiency and high labor intensity. Patent application CN217458705U discloses a new type of fully electric high-lift pallet truck, which enables the pallet truck to complete handling operations electrically by setting up electric drive wheels, a power box assembly, and a handle assembly. However, in this solution, the lifting bracket assembly is used to raise and lower the forks. This lifting bracket assembly is a scissor-type assembly, and after rising to a certain height, the entire vehicle is fixed in place, making it impossible to simultaneously lift and move goods, which is very inconvenient.

[0015] Preferably, the gantry includes two columns, each with a vertical gantry groove facing each other; the carriage includes a carriage panel, on which two connecting plates protrude rearward, and at least one roller is provided on the outer side of each connecting plate. The two connecting plates are located between the two columns, and the rollers on the connecting plates are limited in the gantry grooves of the corresponding side columns so that the carriage can move up and down along the gantry. A rearwardly extending upper sealing plate is fixedly provided at the top of the carriage; the hydraulic cylinder of the lifting assembly is located between the two connecting plates of the carriage, and the top of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the upper sealing plate of the carriage.
[0016] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a drive wheel, a drive motor, a brake, and a drive housing. The drive housing is mounted on a drive mounting plate and connected to the lower end of the handle assembly. The drive wheel is mounted on the drive housing via bearings. The drive motor and brake are respectively located on the left and right sides of the drive wheel and fixed to the drive housing. The drive motor is used to drive the drive wheel to rotate, and the brake is used to brake the drive wheel. The handle assembly is controlled by a controller connected to the drive motor and brake.
[0017] Preferably, the handle assembly is equipped with control buttons for raising the fork assembly and moving the drive assembly forward and backward.
[0018] Preferably, a battery mounting bracket with an upward opening is fixed on the side of the middle cover near the gantry, the battery is mounted on the battery mounting bracket, the battery is located above the drive assembly, the upper end of the battery protrudes from the middle cover, and the battery is used to provide electrical energy.

By setting support legs on the middle plate and load-bearing wheels at the front end of the support legs, the pallet truck can still be driven to move after the fork assembly is lifted; 2. In this solution, by setting triangular frame panels on both sides of the mast, the frame assembly structure is made more compact without reducing the stability of the mast. By setting the carriage as an axisymmetric triangular structure, the carriage structure is made more compact. Attached Figure Description

[0041] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise expressly defined.
[0042] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0044] To clarify, in this scheme, the direction in which the forklift inserts the goods when using the pallet truck is considered "front," and vice versa; the position closest to the center of the pallet truck is considered "inner," and vice versa.
[0045] like Figures 1 to 7 The high-lift fully electric pallet truck shown includes a frame assembly and a fork assembly, a lifting assembly, a drive assembly and a handle assembly 5 mounted on the frame assembly.
[0046] The frame assembly includes a middle plate 11, a mast 12, and two frame panels 13. The middle plate 11 has two forward-extending support legs 111, and the front end of the support legs 111 is provided with a load-bearing wheel 112. The mast 12 is vertically welded to the middle plate 11 and includes two columns 121. Each column 121 has a vertical mast slot 122 that is opposite to the other. The two frame panels 13 are welded to the middle plate 11 and are located on the left and right sides of the mast 12, respectively. The frame panels 13 are triangular in shape and can support the mast 12 to prevent the mast 12 from shaking. This makes the frame assembly structure more compact without reducing the stability of the mast 12.
[0047] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the frame assembly also includes a middle cover 14, a drive cover 15, and a drive mounting plate 16. The middle cover 14 is triangular in shape, and its two sides are fixedly connected to two frame panels 13 respectively. The drive cover 15 is trapezoidal in shape and is fixedly located at the lower rear of the middle cover 14. A space for installing the lifting assembly, drive assembly, and controller is formed between the frame panels 13, the middle cover 14, and the drive cover 15. The drive mounting plate 16 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the mast 12. The drive mounting plate 16 passes through the middle cover 14, extends into the drive cover 15, and is fixedly connected to the drive cover 15. The outer side of the frame panel 14 is flush with the outer side of the middle cover 14 and the outer side of the drive cover 15 on the same side, thereby making the overall shape more beautiful and compact.
[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, the fork assembly includes a carriage 21 and several forks 22 fixed on the carriage 21. The carriage 21 is mounted on the mast 12 with limiting positions on both sides and can move up and down along the mast 12. The carriage 21 has an axisymmetric triangular structure, thereby increasing the structural compactness of the carriage 21. Specifically, the carriage 21 includes a carriage panel 211, on which two connecting plates 212 protrude rearward. At least one roller 213 is provided on the outer side of each of the two connecting plates 212. The two connecting plates 212 are located between two columns 121. The rollers 213 on the connecting plates 212 are limited in the mast grooves 122 of the corresponding side columns 121 so that the carriage 21 can move up and down along the mast 12. A rearwardly extending upper sealing plate 214 is fixed at the top of the carriage 21. In this design, there are two forks 22, and each fork 22 corresponds to a support leg 111. When the fork assembly descends to its lowest point, the forks 22 can cover the corresponding support leg 111, resulting in a simpler and more compact structure. In this design, the lifting height of the fork assembly does not exceed 0.99 meters.
[0049] The lifting assembly is used to drive the carriage 21 to rise and fall. The lifting assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder 31 and an electro-hydraulic station assembly 32. The hydraulic cylinder 31 is vertically fixed on the intermediate plate 11 and located between the two connecting plates 212 of the carriage 21. The top of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 31 is fixed to the upper sealing plate 214 of the carriage 21. The top of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 32 is connected to the carriage 21, thereby driving the carriage 21 to rise and fall. The electro-hydraulic station assembly 32 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 31 to provide power to the hydraulic cylinder 31. The electro-hydraulic station assembly 32 is fixed to the drive mounting plate 16 and arranged on the left or right side of the drive mounting plate 16. The drive assembly is arranged and installed below the drive mounting plate 16. The lower end of the handle assembly 5 passes through the drive cover 15 and is connected to the drive assembly.
[0050] The drive assembly is used to drive the transport vehicle to move. The drive assembly includes a drive wheel 41, a drive motor 42, a brake 43, and a drive housing 44. The drive housing 44 is mounted on the drive mounting plate 16 and is connected to the lower end of the handle assembly 5. The drive wheel 41 is rotatably mounted on the drive housing 44 through bearings. The drive motor 42 and the brake 43 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the drive wheel 41 and fixed to the drive housing 44. The drive motor 42 is used to drive the drive wheel 41 to rotate, and the brake 43 is used to brake the drive wheel 41.
[0051] The lower end of the handle assembly 5 passes through the drive housing 15 and connects to the drive assembly. The handle assembly 5 is controlled and connected to the lifting assembly and the drive assembly via a controller. The handle assembly 5 is also controlled and connected to the electro-hydraulic station assembly 32, the drive motor 42, and the brake 43 via the controller. The handle assembly 5 is equipped with control buttons for raising the fork assembly and moving the drive assembly forward and backward.
[0052] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, a battery mounting bracket 142 with an upward opening is fixed on the side of the middle cover 14 near the mast 12. The battery 7 is mounted on the battery mounting bracket 142, located above the drive assembly, making full use of the space above the drive assembly. The upper end of the battery 7 protrudes from the middle cover 14, and the battery 7 provides power to the entire vehicle. To facilitate power access and disconnection, the transport vehicle is equipped with a power plug-in 8. A socket 141 is opened on the left or right side of the middle cover 14. The power plug-in 8 passes through the socket 141 and connects to the battery 7. When the battery 7 needs to be replaced, the power plug-in 8 is unplugged, the battery 7 is de-energized, and the battery 7 can be removed from above. After the battery 7 is replaced, the power plug-in 8 is plugged in to access the battery 7. The operation is simple.
[0053] In this design, one of the frame panels 13 has an emergency stop switch 9 on its side, which is connected to the battery 7 and the handlebar assembly 5.
[0054] In this plan, such as Figure 7 As shown, when it is necessary to raise the fork assembly, the operator operates the lifting control button on the handle assembly 5. The electro-hydraulic station assembly 32 drives the cylinder 31 to lift, thereby lifting the fork assembly along the mast 12 to the appropriate position. At this time, the user can operate the forward and backward control button on the drive assembly 5. The drive motor 42 drives the drive wheel 41 to rotate, thereby driving the pallet truck to move. This allows the pallet truck to still move after the fork assembly is lifted.
[0055] All features described in the specification, appended claims and drawings, whether individually or in any combination thereof, are essential features of this utility model.
[0056] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, alterations, deletions of some features, additions of features, or recombinations of features to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
