[0031] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0032] like Figure 1-4As shown, a picker compartment that is easy to maintain includes a control compartment 110, a flip cover 120, and a limit switch 130.

[0033] In this embodiment, the picking cart includes a frame 200 and a mast 300 that can be raised and lowered and is located on the front side of the frame 200. The compartment 100 is arranged on the rear end of the frame 200 and is used to house some components of the control system, electrical system and hydraulic system.

[0034] Specifically, the control compartment 110 of the picking vehicle compartment 100 is a closed space with an opening at the top. Multiple control units 111 are installed inside the control compartment 110. These control units 111 include, but are not limited to, a lowering valve 111a, a hydraulic pump control unit 111, and a motor control unit 111. Since these control units 111 usually require regular maintenance or repair in the vehicle, it is necessary to facilitate the maintenance of the multiple control units 111 inside the control compartment 110.

[0035] In this embodiment, the flip cover 120 is disposed at the opening of the control compartment 110. The flip cover 120 is connected to the control compartment 110 by a hinge, allowing the flip cover 120 to rotate around the hinge point. When closed, the flip cover 120 covers the opening of the control compartment 110, protecting the control unit 111 inside the control compartment 110 from external environmental influences. When maintenance or repair of the control unit 111 is required, the flip cover 120 can be rotated to a preset angle, such as 90 degrees or a larger angle, exposing the control unit 111 inside the control compartment 110 for easy operation by maintenance personnel. To ensure the flip cover 120 remains stable when open... The flip cover 120 has a support rod 121 on its inner side. One end of the support rod 121 is hinged to the inner side of the flip cover 120, and the other end is located inside the control compartment 110 when the flip cover 120 is closed. When the flip cover 120 is rotated open, the support rod 121 rotates with the flip cover 120. The control compartment 110 has a positioning groove 112 corresponding to the support rod 121. When the flip cover 120 is rotated to a preset angle, the end of the support rod 121 away from the flip cover 120 can slide into the positioning groove 112, thereby supporting the flip cover 120 and keeping the flip cover 120 in the open state. There is no need to hold the flip cover 120 by hand, which improves the convenience of operation.

[0036] Furthermore, a hinge side is provided on the flip cover 120. A first mounting plate 122 and a second mounting plate 123 are respectively provided at both ends of the hinge side of the flip cover 120. These two mounting plates are used to connect the flip cover 120 to the control compartment 110. A first mounting seat 113 and a second mounting seat 114 are respectively provided at both symmetrical ends inside the control compartment 110. The first mounting plate 122 is rotatably connected to the first mounting seat 113 through a pin 124, and the second mounting plate 123 is rotatably connected to the second mounting seat 114 through a pin 124. This design allows the flip cover 120 to rotate around the pin 124 to realize the opening and closing action.

[0037] Furthermore, the top of the first mounting base 113 is provided with a positioning groove 112. The first end of the support rod 121 is hinged to the first mounting plate 122, and the second end of the support rod 121 can slide into the positioning groove 112 of the first mounting base 113. After the second end of the support rod 121 slides into the positioning groove 112, as long as the operator releases the force applied to the flip cover 120, the weight of the flip cover 120 can be transferred to the support rod 121 through the first mounting plate 122. At this time, the second end of the support rod 121 is stuck in the positioning groove 112 and cannot move downward, thereby playing a supporting role for the flip cover 120. After the maintenance is completed, the second end of the support rod 121 can be manually removed from the positioning groove 112.

[0038] Furthermore, the support rod 121 is U-shaped, which allows for lateral connection and increases the contact area between the support rod 121 and the positioning groove 112, thereby improving the support strength and enabling it to better support the flip cover 120.

[0039] Furthermore, the top of the first mounting base 113 is also provided with a guide slope 113a. The guide slope 113a is arranged on one side of the positioning groove 112 and is connected to the opening of the positioning groove 112. The guide slope 113a is inclined towards the positioning groove 112. The function of the guide slope 113a is to guide the second end of the support rod 121 to slide smoothly into the positioning groove 112, making the operation more convenient.

[0040] Furthermore, the end of the pin 124 is provided with a retaining ring 124a, which can abut against one side of the first mounting base 113 or the second mounting base 114, thereby restricting the pin 124 from disengaging from the first mounting base 113 or the second mounting base 114 and preventing the flip cover 120 from accidentally falling off during use.

[0041] Furthermore, the limit switch 130 is fixed on one side of the second mounting base 114. The function of the limit switch 130 is to detect the open state of the flip cover 120. When the flip cover 120 is rotated to a preset angle, the limit switch 130 can control the picking cart to travel at a speed of less than 5 km / h. This is a safety measure to prevent the picking cart from traveling at high speed and causing danger during maintenance.

[0042] Furthermore, the limit switch 130 is provided with a trigger part 131 that can abut against the second mounting plate 123. When the flip cover 120 is closed, the trigger part 131 abuts against the second mounting plate 123, and the limit switch 130 is in an untriggered state. When the flip cover 120 is rotated to a preset angle, the trigger part 131 separates from the second mounting plate 123, and the limit switch 130 is triggered, thereby controlling the travel speed of the picking cart.

[0043] Furthermore, one of the control units 111 is configured as a lowering valve 111a, which is used to control the gantry 300 to descend, thus preventing the gantry 300 from failing to descend in the event of a hydraulic failure. The control compartment 110 is also equipped with a storage rack 115, which has multiple Allen wrenches 115a. One of the Allen wrenches 115a is configured to operate the lowering valve 111a. This design allows maintenance personnel to easily find the appropriate tools to operate the lowering valve 111a, thereby improving maintenance efficiency.

[0044] Furthermore, the diameters of the multiple hex wrenches 115a placed on the mounting rack 115 gradually increase. This design allows maintenance personnel to select the appropriate size hex wrench 115a as needed to meet the maintenance requirements of different control units 111.

[0045] In actual use, when the control unit 111 needs maintenance, the maintenance personnel can open the flip cover 120. After the flip cover 120 is rotated to a preset angle, one end of the support rod 121 slides into the positioning groove 112, supporting the flip cover 120 to remain open. At this time, the control unit 111 inside the control compartment 110 is exposed, and the maintenance personnel can perform inspection or maintenance operations. After the maintenance is completed, the maintenance personnel can gently lift the flip cover 120 to disengage the support rod 121 from the positioning groove 112, and then rotate the flip cover 120 back to its original position and close the control compartment 110.

[0046] The advantages of this design are that the cooperation between the flip cover 120 and the support rod 121 makes the opening and closing of the control compartment 110 simple and convenient. In the open state, the flip cover 120 is stably supported, preventing accidental closure. Meanwhile, the limit switch 130 enhances safety, preventing danger caused by the high-speed movement of the picking cart during maintenance. Furthermore, the design of the placement rack 115 and the Allen wrench 115a provides maintenance personnel with convenient tools, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0047] In this embodiment, a maintenance-friendly picking cart compartment 100 is disclosed, including a control compartment 110 and a flip cover 120. Multiple control units 111 are housed within the control compartment 110. The flip cover 120 is rotatably positioned at the opening of the control compartment 110. The flip cover 120 can rotate to a preset angle, exposing the multiple control units 111. A support rod 121 is provided on the inner side of the flip cover 120. A positioning groove 112 corresponding to the support rod 121 is provided within the control compartment 110. One end of the support rod 121 is hinged to the inner side of the flip cover 120 and can rotate with the flip cover 120. When the flip cover 120 rotates to the preset angle, the end of the support rod 121 away from the flip cover 120 can slide into the positioning groove 112 to support the flip cover 120. The flip cover 120 design at the top of the control compartment 110 makes it easy to open. Combined with the automatic support function of the support rod 121, this eliminates the need for the operator to manually hold the cover, improving operational convenience.
