Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift front collision protection technology, and in particular to a forklift front collision protection device with a mechanical buffer spring. Background Technology

[0002] Forklifts are industrial transport vehicles used for handling, stacking, and loading / unloading packaged goods. They are widely used in factory workshops, warehousing and logistics, ports and docks, supermarket distribution centers, and other places. Depending on the operating environment and needs, forklifts can be divided into various types, such as electric forklifts, internal combustion forklifts, and reach trucks. Their common feature is that they have high mobility and operational flexibility in limited spaces, which can significantly improve material handling efficiency.

[0003] In actual operation, forklifts often need to frequently turn, turn around, and approach racks in narrow aisles. Operators are prone to fatigue or misjudgment during long hours of operation, which often leads to accidental collisions between forklift heads. This is especially common in high-density rack warehouses or assembly workshops. Once a forklift hits a rack column, wall, or other fixed building structure, it may not only cause rack deformation, wall damage, and loosening of fixing devices, but may also lead to serious consequences such as cargo collapse, rack instability, and wall peeling, resulting in safety hazards and economic losses. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a forklift front collision protection device with a mechanical buffer spring.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A forklift head anti-collision protection device with mechanical buffer springs includes a forklift head. Two forklift bars are fixedly connected to the side wall of the forklift head. Each forklift bar has a sleeve fitted at its end away from the forklift head. The sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the forklift bar by bolts. An anti-collision beam is fixedly connected between the tops of the two sleeves. Side impact plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the anti-collision beam. Two movable rods pass through the side wall of the anti-collision beam. A movable plate is fixedly connected between the ends of the two movable rods near the forklift head. An anti-collision rod is fixedly connected to the end of the movable rod away from the movable plate. Springs are fitted on the outer walls of the two movable rods. The two ends of the springs are fixedly connected to the side walls of the anti-collision rod and the anti-collision beam, respectively. Two protective vertical plates for protecting goods placed on the top of the forklift bars are fixedly connected to the top of the anti-collision beam.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a spring damper is fixedly connected to the middle part of the anti-collision bar, and the end of the spring damper away from the anti-collision bar is fixedly connected to the side wall of the anti-collision beam.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the side wall of the movable plate is rotatably connected with rollers, the top of the inner wall of the anti-collision beam is fixedly connected with a control button, and the ends of the two side impact plates away from the anti-collision beam are fixedly connected with alarm lights.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, when the anti-collision bar is subjected to an impact force, it will move towards the anti-collision beam and drive the moving rod to compress the spring for buffering. At the same time as the anti-collision bar moves, it will compress the spring damper.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, when the moving rod moves, it will drive the moving plate to move towards the forklift head, and when the moving plate moves, it will drive the roller to approach the control button and press the control button.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the control button and the two alarm lights are electrically connected.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In this invention, the anti-collision bar contacts the obstacle and, under the impact force, pushes the moving rod to compress the external spring, achieving primary buffering. Simultaneously, the spring damper in the middle of the anti-collision bar compresses synchronously, forming secondary buffering, effectively reducing the impact force and preventing it from being directly transmitted to the vehicle body and causing damage. During the recovery phase, the spring releases its elasticity, causing the anti-collision bar and the moving rod to return to their original positions. The spring damper acts as a speed limiter, preventing the anti-collision structure from rebounding rapidly and causing secondary impacts, ensuring a smooth and safe buffering process. At the same time, the moving rod drives the moving plate to slide, and the rollers on the moving plate trigger the control button on the top of the anti-collision beam, activating the electrically connected alarm light and issuing a visual warning signal to the operator, indicating that a collision has occurred or that the object is approaching an obstacle. The two protective vertical plates on the top of the anti-collision beam can also effectively protect the upper area of ​​the goods supported by the forklift, avoiding the risk of slippage during collisions or shaking. The overall structure improves operational safety and the equipment's ability to adapt to complex working conditions. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Reference Figures 1-4 A forklift front collision protection device with mechanical buffer springs includes a forklift head 1. Two forklift bars 2 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the forklift head 1. A sleeve 3 is fitted onto the end of each forklift bar 2 away from the forklift head 1. The sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the forklift bar 2 by bolts. A collision beam 5 is fixedly connected between the tops of the two sleeves 3. Side impact plates 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the collision beam 5. Two movable rods 7 pass through the side wall of the collision beam 5. A movable plate 8 is fixedly connected between the ends of the two movable rods 7 near the forklift head 1. A collision rod 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the movable rod 7 away from the movable plate 8. Springs 10 are fitted onto the outer walls of the two movable rods 7. The two ends of the springs 10 are fixedly connected to the collision rod 9 and the side wall of the collision beam 5, respectively. Two protective vertical plates 14 for protecting goods placed on top of the forklift bars 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the collision beam 5. This further enhances operational safety. In this embodiment, a spring damper 11 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the anti-collision bar 9. The end of the spring damper 11 away from the anti-collision bar 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the anti-collision beam 5. When the anti-collision bar 9 is subjected to an impact force, it will move towards the anti-collision beam 5 and drive the moving rod 7 to compress the spring 10 for buffering. While the anti-collision bar 9 is moving, it will compress the spring damper 11. When the moving rod 7 moves, it will drive the moving plate 8 to move towards the forklift head 1. When the forklift accidentally collides with the front during the handling operation, the anti-collision bar 9 will first contact the obstacle and be subjected to the impact force. Under the action of the external force, the anti-collision bar 9 will move backward along the direction of the moving rod 7 and drive the moving rod 7 to compress the spring 10 on its outer wall to generate Elastic deformation provides cushioning, and simultaneously, the spring damper 11 in the middle of the anti-collision bar 9 is compressed, thus forming a double cushioning effect. This prevents the impact force from being directly transmitted to the forklift body. At the same time, when the spring 10 stores and releases its elastic force, the spring damper 11 releases it slowly. After the cushioning process is over, the spring 10 begins to release the stored elastic force, pushing the anti-collision bar 9 and the moving bar 7 back to their original positions. During this process, the spring damper 11 acts as a damping and speed limiter, making the release of the elastic force by the spring 10 slower and smoother, preventing the anti-collision device from rebounding instantly and causing a secondary impact. This effectively controls the cushioning energy and slows down the rebound speed of the device.

[0018] In this embodiment, when the movable plate 8 moves, it drives the roller 12 to approach and press the control button 13. The roller 12 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the movable plate 8. The control button 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the anti-collision beam 5. The two side impact plates 6 are fixedly connected to the end away from the anti-collision beam 5 with the alarm light 4. The control button 13 and the two alarm lights 4 are electrically connected. When the movable rod 7 moves, it also drives the movable plate 8 connected to its end to slide towards the forklift head 1. The roller 12 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the movable plate 8. During the movement, the roller 12 approaches and presses the control button 13 set on the top of the inner wall of the anti-collision beam 5, thereby triggering the two electrically connected alarm lights 4 to emit a visual warning signal, prompting the driver that a collision has occurred or an obstacle is nearby, so as to take timely braking measures to prevent further damage.

[0019] As can be seen from the above description, the above embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: When in use, firstly, after the anti-collision bar 9 comes into contact with an obstacle, it will push the moving bar 7 to compress the outer wall spring 10 under the action of the impact force to achieve primary buffering. At the same time, the spring damper 11 set in the middle is further compressed synchronously to form secondary buffering, thereby effectively reducing the direct transmission of impact force and avoiding damage to the vehicle body. Secondly, during the impact force release phase, as the spring 10 recovers its elasticity and drives the anti-collision bar 9 and the moving bar 7 to reset, the spring damper 11 controls the speed of the release process, so that the anti-collision component rebounds smoothly, avoids violent rebound that causes secondary impact, and improves safety stability. During the movement of the moving rod 7, the moving plate 8 connected at the end slides. The roller 12 on the side wall of the moving plate 8 can trigger the control button 13 set on the top of the anti-collision beam 5 in time, thereby illuminating the electrically connected alarm light 4 and sending a clear visual warning signal to the workers, realizing the warning function of reminder during the event and prompting after the event. Meanwhile, the two protective vertical plates 14 installed on the top of the anti-collision beam 5 can provide physical protection to the upper part of the goods during the lifting process of the forklift 2, preventing the goods from falling off due to inertial sliding or collision, and further improving the safety of the overall handling operation.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
