[0002] During the assembly of a forklift, in order to ensure the accurate installation and secure fixing of components such as the instrument panel cover, overhead guard, steering mechanism, handbrake, control device, and foot brake, a special structural component needs to be designed as an installation support. This structural component is called the instrument panel bracket.

[0003] In existing technologies, bolts on instrument racks are mostly installed using through holes, which involves drilling holes in the instrument rack and using bolts to fix various components through the holes. However, this drilling method reduces material usage and weakens the overall structural strength of the instrument rack, resulting in a decrease in its load-bearing capacity. Due to the insufficient strength of the instrument rack, the stability of its support for the components installed on it is severely affected, making the components prone to shaking and displacement during forklift operation, which is detrimental to the safe and stable operation of the forklift. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a forklift and its instrument rack device. Utility Model Content

[0018] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model discloses a forklift and its instrument rack device.

[0019] On one hand, this utility model discloses an instrument rack device for a forklift. The instrument rack device is mounted on the frame 100 and includes a frame 1, mounting plates 2 vertically disposed at both ends of the frame 1, a fixing plate 3 disposed between the mounting plate 2 and the frame 1, a first support 4 disposed on the frame 1, and a second bracket disposed on the frame 1. The frame 1 is made of high-strength steel, and its shape is designed according to the overall structure and installation space of the forklift to ensure compatibility with other parts of the forklift and to provide a stable support foundation for each component. The mounting plate 2 is a rectangular steel plate and is vertically fixed to both ends of the frame 1 by welding. The fixing plate 3 is disposed between the mounting plate 2 and the frame 1 and is also fixed by welding. The second support 5 is disposed in the middle of the frame 1, and the first support 4 is disposed above the second support 5. Multiple brackets are provided on the fixing plate 3. The first fixing hole is provided, and the frame 100 is provided with a second fixing hole that matches the first fixing hole. The first fixing hole and the second fixing hole are connected by fasteners 6. More specifically, there are 2 to 4 first fixing holes. By passing the fasteners 6 through the first fixing holes and the second fixing holes, the fixing plate 3 is tightly connected to the frame 100, thereby realizing the fixed installation of the instrument bracket device on the frame 100. A gasket can also be set between the fasteners 6 and the fixing plate 3 to improve the stability of the connection between the device and the frame 100. The fixing plate 3 is perpendicular to the frame 1 and the mounting plate 2. The mounting plate 2 is provided with multiple third fixing holes 21. The number and position of these third fixing holes 21 are set according to the installation requirements of the instrument cover, the top guard and other components. By passing the fasteners 6 through the third fixing holes 21, the instrument cover, the top guard and other components can be firmly installed on the mounting plate 2.

[0020] In one specific embodiment, in the instrument rack device for forklifts of this utility model, the first support 4 and the frame 1, and the second support 5 and the frame 1 are connected by welding. This arrangement reduces the number of through holes, avoids weakening the frame strength due to drilling, and improves the overall load-bearing capacity of the instrument rack.

[0021] Furthermore, in the instrument rack device for forklifts of this utility model, the first support 4 is a steering device mounting base, the shape of which is adapted to the mounting position of the steering device, and is used to stably support the steering device.

The fixing plate 3 enhances the connection between the frame 1 and the mounting plate 2, and together with the fasteners 6, it secures the instrument frame to the frame 100, preventing displacement and loosening. The first and second supports are welded into a rigid connection. All components work together to transmit and distribute force, avoiding instability and interference, and ensuring the safe operation of the forklift. Compared with the prior art, this device hides the fasteners 6 connecting the frame 1 and the fixing plate 3 when viewed from the front, which significantly improves the overall aesthetics of the instrument frame compared to the exposed bolts in the prior art.

[0027] In summary, compared with the prior art, the instrument rack device for forklifts of this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0028] This device uses high-strength steel to make the frame 1. By welding and fixing the mounting plate 2, fixing plate 3, first support 4, and second support 5, the number of through holes is reduced, avoiding weakening the strength of the frame 1 due to drilling, and improving the overall load-bearing capacity of the instrument frame. The welding connection and reasonable layout of each component realize the coordinated installation of each component, reduce interference, enhance installation stability, prevent shaking and displacement during operation, and ensure the safe operation of the forklift. The fixing plate 3 and fasteners 6 cooperate to firmly connect this device to the frame 100. Moreover, the hidden structure of the fixing plate 3 solves the problem of exposed fasteners 6 and improves the overall aesthetics.
