[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This application provides a forklift suspension overhead guard, including a cab support 1, a roof support plate 2, an air outlet cooling component 4, and an elastic connecting part 5.

[0025] The elastic connection part 5 connects to the roof support panel 2. In the event of a collision between the driver's head and the roof support panel 2, the elastic connection part 5 reduces the impact on the head and neck. The air vent cooling component 4 blows air onto the driver's head, providing effective cooling.

[0026] The roof rack 2 is located above the cab support 1, and its rear side is connected to the cab support 1 via an elastic connecting part 5. An observation port 21 is provided on the front upper side of the roof rack 2, and an installation port 22 is provided on the rear upper side of the roof rack 2. The air outlet cooling assembly 4 includes a housing 41 and a fan 42. The housing 41 is inclinedly disposed inside the installation port 22 and fixed to the roof rack 2, while the fan 42 is installed inside the housing 41.

[0027] The elastic connection part 5 connects to the elastic support roof rack 2. When the driver's head collides with the roof rack 2, the elastic connection part 5 reduces the impact on the head, providing better protection for the driver's head and neck. The fan 42 in the air outlet cooling assembly 4 is inclined inside the cylinder shell 41, increasing the area of ​​the fan 42 that blows air onto the driver, improving the cooling effect, and enabling the driver to cool down quickly.

[0028] In the above specific embodiment, a transparent cover 3 is provided above the roof rack 2, covering the observation port 21. An outer cover 43 covers the cylindrical shell 41, with the bottom of the outer cover 43 fixed to the roof rack 2, and a ventilation opening 45 is provided on the lower outer side of the outer cover 43. An airflow space is reserved between the interior of the outer cover 43 and the top of the cylindrical shell 41, allowing external air to enter the interior of both the outer cover 43 and the cylindrical shell 41 through the ventilation opening 45. Both the outer cover 43 and the transparent cover 3 are designed for rain protection, ensuring that operators will not get wet even in rainy weather. The transparent cover 3 can be made of acrylic sheet or tempered glass.

[0029] Furthermore, both the roof rack 2 and the transparent cover 3 have an arc-shaped front edge, which does not affect the driver's ability to observe the items being moved by the forklift through the observation port 21 and the transparent cover 3.

[0030] Specifically, gaps are reserved between the two sides of the transparent cover 3 and the top side wall of the cab support 1 to allow rainwater to flow through, so that rainwater falling on the roof rack 2 can flow out through the gaps. An outer flange 23 is provided on the top outer edge of the observation port 21 to prevent rainwater on the surface of the roof rack 2 from falling into the cab through the observation port 21.

[0031] In a specific configuration, a support strip is provided on the inner side of the top of the cab support 1 to support the roof frame 2. The support strip is used to limit the support of the transparent cover 3 above.

[0032] Furthermore, the elastic connection part 5 includes a connecting seat 51 and a shock absorber 52. The connecting seat 51 is fixedly installed with the cab support 1, and the two ends of the shock absorber 52 are respectively connected to the connecting seat 51 and the roof frame 2. The air outlet cooling assembly 4 also includes a protective grid 44, which is installed at the bottom of the cylinder shell 41.

[0033] In the specific configuration, shock-absorbing pads 6 are installed under the mounting lugs at the four corners of the bottom of the cab support 1. The purpose of these shock-absorbing pads 6 is to reduce the vibration of the cab support 1 and improve the driving and riding comfort.

[0034] It should be noted that the specific model and specifications of fan 42 need to be determined based on the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts existing technology in this field, and therefore will not be described in detail. The power supply and principle of fan 42 are clear to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] The working principle of this forklift's suspended overhead guard is as follows: During use, the elastic connecting part 5 connects to the elastic support roof panel 2. When the driver's head collides with the roof panel 2, the elastic connecting part 5 reduces the impact on the head, providing better protection for the driver's head and neck. The fan 42 in the air cooling assembly 4 is angled inside the housing 41, increasing the area of ​​the fan 42 that blows air onto the driver, improving the cooling effect and enabling rapid cooling of the driver.
