Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a forklift auxiliary water tank device, belonging to the technical field of auxiliary tools for electrolytic aluminum production. Background Technology
[0002] Forklift drivers need to check the coolant level in the forklift's radiator during shift changes to ensure sufficient coolant and prevent engine damage due to insufficient coolant. To maintain production efficiency, forklifts often operate continuously. When checking the coolant level, the vehicle is usually shut down briefly and still hot. Opening the radiator cap at this time can cause coolant to spray out and scald personnel. Furthermore, checking the radiator requires opening the engine hood first, making the process cumbersome for such frequent operations. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a forklift auxiliary water tank device that simplifies the operation of checking the water tank level and prevents the potential for coolant spraying and injury when checking the water tank level under high temperature conditions of the forklift.
[0004] This utility model discloses a forklift auxiliary water tank device, including a filling tank disposed outside the forklift. The filling tank is connected to the water tank inside the forklift through a transparent pipe that facilitates observation of liquid level changes. A matching tank cover is connected to the opening of the filling tank. A blocking valve for sealing is provided on the water inlet at the bottom of the filling tank.
[0005] The filling tank includes: a shell, with a baffle above the water inlet inside the shell for blocking water vapor; a protective base is provided around the water inlet of the shell, and a shielding valve is movably connected inside the protective base.
[0006] Furthermore, the baffle is uniformly provided with a number of heat dissipation fins for condensing water vapor.
[0007] Furthermore, the protective base is provided with a diversion groove for discharging water vapor.
[0008] Furthermore, the blocking valve includes: a valve stem, with a pull ring and a plug for sealing at each end of the valve stem; a wing extends from the side of the plug;
[0009] The plug abuts against the water inlet inside the casing; the vanes move up and down within the diversion channel.
[0010] Furthermore, an exhaust valve is provided on the lid.
[0011] Furthermore, the baffle is tilted towards the side where the protective base is located.
[0012] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are:
[0013] This device allows direct observation of the water level in the forklift's internal water tank via a filling box located outside the forklift, simplifying the water level check process. Additionally, internal baffles and shielding valves prevent the release of high-temperature steam, thus avoiding injury and improving the safety of the water level check operation.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment is achieved through the following technical solution: including a filling tank 1 set outside the forklift 4, the filling tank 1 is connected to the water tank inside the forklift 4 through a transparent pipe that facilitates observation of liquid level changes, and a matching tank cover 2 is connected to the opening of the filling tank 1; a sealing valve 3 is provided on the water inlet at the bottom of the filling tank 1 for sealing.
[0024] The filling tank 1 and the water tank of the forklift 4 form a communicating vessel, and the water level in the water tank can be directly observed through the transparent pipe connected to the filling tank 1.
[0025] The filling tank 1 includes: a shell 101, a baffle 102 for blocking water vapor is provided above the water inlet inside the shell 101; a protective base 103 is provided around the water inlet of the shell 101, and a shielding valve 3 is movably connected inside the protective base 103.
[0026] Specifically, the baffle 102 is uniformly provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins 1021 for condensing water vapor.
[0027] Specifically, the protective base 103 is provided with a diversion groove 1031 for discharging water vapor.
[0028] Specifically, the blocking valve 3 includes: a valve stem 303, with a lifting ring 304 and a plug 302 for sealing at both ends of the valve stem 303; a wing 301 extends from the side of the plug 302.
[0029] The plug 302 abuts against the water inlet inside the housing 101; the vane 301 moves up and down inside the diversion channel 1031.
[0030] Specifically, the cover 2 is equipped with an exhaust valve 201 to promptly discharge the heated and expanded air inside the filling tank 1 and maintain the air pressure balance inside and outside the filling tank 1.
[0031] Specifically, the baffle 102 is tilted toward the side where the protective base 103 is located.
[0032] The specific operating principle of the device is as follows:
[0033] Under high temperature conditions, the water vapor in the water tank of the forklift 4 will push up the plug, and the sprayed water vapor will flow out along the diversion groove 1031. The wing 301 will guide the airflow of water vapor to both sides, and the further water vapor will be blocked by the baffle 102 to prevent water vapor from spraying directly into the opening of the filling tank 1, thereby protecting the inspectors from being burned by high temperature water vapor when opening the tank cover.
[0034] When the forklift's 4 water tank needs to be replenished with coolant, a manual tool is used to hang the lifting ring 304 to lift the blocking valve 3. At this time, the water inlet at the bottom of the filling tank 1 opens, and the manual coolant is poured into the filling tank.
[0035] Of course, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the above examples, and all equivalent changes and improvements made by those skilled in the art within the scope of this utility model should be included in the patent coverage of this utility model.
