Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] An electric forklift safety device includes a forklift 1 and a foot pedal 4 and a safety device disposed on one side of the forklift 1.

[0029] The protective device includes a protective fence 2 installed on the upper part of the forklift 1 and a protective waist rail 3 installed in the middle of the forklift 1;

[0030] The protective fence 2 is provided in pairs, and the pair of protective fences 2 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the forklift 1 and are rotatably mounted on the forklift 1;

[0031] The protective waist guard 3 is movably installed on the side wall of the forklift 1 and can be placed around the waist of the operator.

[0032] Working Principle: When using the electric forklift safety device provided by this utility model, the operator stands directly on the foot pedal 4, which is located under the forklift 1. The foot pedal 4 can be movably connected to the forklift 1, for example, in a hinged manner, similar to the design of a sleeper car seat. When not in use, the foot pedal 4 can be flipped to the side of the forklift 1 for concealment. Once the operator is standing on the foot pedal 4, they can directly control the control panel on the top of the forklift 1, thus maintaining synchronous operation between the operator and the forklift 1, making the use safer. To maintain the operator's standing stability while riding the forklift 1, this invention also includes a protective railing 2 and a protective waist guard 3 on the forklift 1 to protect the operator's body and maintain stability while standing on the forklift 1. The protective railing 2 is rotatably mounted on the forklift 1, allowing it to be adjusted to fit different operator positions or body sizes, thus providing better protection. When not in use, the protective railing 2 can be rotated inwards, for example, rotating the two railings 2 to a close-fitting position. Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, this reduces the space occupied by the protective fence 2 and prevents damage to the protective fence 2 when the forklift 1 is not in use, making the protective fence 2 more stable. When needed, the protective fence 2 can be rotated outwards as shown. Figure 1 As shown, they are positioned on either side of the body to provide protection.

[0033] In this embodiment, the protective fence 2 includes a positioning post 21 disposed on the top of the forklift 1 and a protective plate rotatably disposed on the positioning post 21. The positioning post 21 is arranged vertically, and one end of the protective plate can be sleeved on the positioning post 21 in the form of a rotating sleeve, thereby rotating around the positioning post 21. In addition, a limiting post 24 can be disposed on the top of the forklift 1. The limiting post 24 is located outside the positioning post 21, so as to limit the angle of rotation of the rotating sleeve to the outside, so as to prevent the protective plate from rotating too much to the outside and thus failing to effectively protect the human body.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the protective plate includes a first protective plate 22 rotatably connected to the positioning post 21 and a second protective plate 23 movably connected to the first protective plate 22. The first protective plate 22 has a positioning groove 222 in the center along the length direction. The second protective plate 23 can be stored in the positioning groove 222. In this way, when not in use, the second protective plate can be stored in the positioning groove 222 in the center of the first protective plate 22, which also makes it convenient for the two protective plates to rotate inward and fit together.

[0035] In this embodiment, the upper end of the side of the first protective plate 22 is provided with several arc-shaped notches 221, which facilitates the removal of the second protective plate 23 stored in the positioning groove 222 in the center of the first protective plate 22 and the unfolding of the second protective plate 23.

[0036] In this embodiment, the protective waist guard 3 includes a first arc-shaped guard plate 31 mounted on the forklift 1 and a second arc-shaped guard plate 32 movably connected to the first arc-shaped guard plate 31. One end of the second arc-shaped guard plate 32 is hinged to one end of the first arc-shaped guard plate 31, which facilitates opening the second arc-shaped guard plate 32 so that the operator can more easily enter the first arc-shaped guard plate 31 and then fasten the second arc-shaped guard plate 32, so that the second arc-shaped guard plate 32 and the first arc-shaped guard plate 31 surround each other and protect the operator's waist. Furthermore, the other end of the second arc-shaped guard plate 32 is connected to the other end of the first arc-shaped guard plate 31 by a latch 33, so that the latch 33 can be used to lock the second arc-shaped guard plate 32 and the first arc-shaped guard plate 31 after they are surrounded, thereby making the protective effect of the second arc-shaped guard plate 32 and the first arc-shaped guard plate 31 on the operator more stable.

[0037] In this embodiment, the inner surfaces of the first arc-shaped guard plate 31 and the second arc-shaped guard plate 32 are provided with buffer pads 34; in this way, when the first arc-shaped guard plate 31 or the second arc-shaped guard plate 32 comes into contact with the waist or other parts of the body, it can provide better support for the waist or other parts of the body and improve comfort.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
