Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of forklift motor technology and relates to a quick-release structure for a forklift motor. Background Technology

[0002] When a forklift motor malfunctions after prolonged use, it needs to be disassembled for repair. However, traditional forklift motors have a transmission gear set connected to the motor shaft. If the forklift motor needs to be disassembled, the entire transmission gear set also needs to be disassembled, making the installation and removal of the forklift motor difficult.

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, quick-release structures for motors have been developed. For example, Chinese patent application [Authorization Announcement No.: CN214828787U] discloses an integrated mechanism for a new energy forklift reducer, including a reducer housing, an input gear, and a motor assembly. The motor assembly includes a motor shaft. The input gear shaft has an axially extending shaft hole, and the motor shaft is inserted into the shaft hole and driven by a spline connection. The flange connection of the reducer housing has a through mounting hole. The flange connection of the reducer housing corresponds to the output end of the motor assembly, and the flange connection is sleeved on the outside of the input gear shaft through the mounting hole. One end of the mounting hole is installed with the motor shaft through a first bearing, and the other end of the mounting hole is installed with the input gear shaft through a second bearing.

[0004] The above structure uses a spline connection between the motor shaft and the gear shaft to achieve quick disassembly of the motor. However, since the motor requires a high degree of concentricity when rotating, the outer rings of the first and second bearings are limited by the reducer housing during installation. This means that the motor shaft relies solely on the spline connection with the gear shaft for transmission, without any other circumferential limiting force. This can easily lead to displacement deviations during operation. While achieving quick assembly and disassembly, this also makes it easy for displacement deviations to occur during the assembly of the motor and the reducer, reducing the stability of the motor after installation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a quick-release structure for forklift motors. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to solve the problem of poor motor installation stability when implementing quick-release motor structures.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A quick-release structure for a forklift motor, the forklift motor including a cantilever and a motor, the motor including a motor housing and a motor shaft passing through the motor housing, an output shaft rotatably connected inside the cantilever, the motor shaft and the output shaft being splinedly connected, characterized in that the quick-release structure includes a connecting ring fixed to the cantilever, the motor housing protruding axially to form an annular limiting shoulder, a bearing being sleeved on the motor shaft, the outer ring of the bearing abutting against the limiting shoulder, one end of the connecting ring protruding axially to form an annular positioning edge, the limiting shoulder portion being inserted into the positioning edge and the outer side wall of the limiting shoulder abutting radially against the positioning edge.

[0008] By using a spline connection between the motor shaft and the output shaft, and considering that the motor shaft needs to be rotatably connected to the motor housing, a limiting shoulder is provided on the motor housing, and a bearing is fitted onto the motor shaft with its outer ring positioned within the limiting shoulder. Therefore, when disassembling the motor, the motor shaft can be directly separated from the output shaft, and the bearing is removed along with the motor. To ensure stability after quick disassembly and reinstallation, a connecting ring is fixed to the cantilever, and the limiting shoulder is inserted into the positioning edge. The outer wall of the limiting shoulder abuts radially against the positioning edge, so that after assembly, the radial positioning of the motor shaft is achieved through the cooperation of the positioning edge and the limiting shoulder, thus improving the stability after installation.

[0009] In the quick-release structure of the forklift motor described above, there is a gap between the limiting shoulder and the outer end face of the connecting ring sleeve.

[0010] The spacing is designed to avoid affecting the spline fit between the motor shaft and the output shaft during installation. The spacing allows for sufficient clearance for the installation of the motor shaft and the output shaft, ensuring that the installation of the motor shaft and the output shaft is not affected. This improves installation stability without compromising loading and unloading efficiency.

[0011] In the quick-release structure of the forklift motor described above, the other end of the connecting ring sleeve protrudes axially to form a limiting ring, and an annular limiting groove is provided on the end face of the cantilever. The limiting ring is embedded in the limiting groove, and the outer wall of the limiting ring abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove.

[0012] The other end of the connecting ring sleeve is inserted into the limiting groove of the cantilever through a limiting ring, which realizes circumferential limiting with the cantilever and improves the stability of the connecting ring sleeve installation.

[0013] In the quick-release structure of the forklift motor described above, the outer wall of the motor housing is close to the inner wall of the connecting ring sleeve.

[0014] This structure prevents large displacement deviations of the motor housing during installation, further improving installation stability and efficiency.

[0015] In the quick-release structure of the forklift motor described above, a sealing step is provided on the inner side wall of the connecting ring sleeve, an oil seal is provided on the sealing step, a second bearing is provided inside the cantilever and sleeved on the output shaft, the oil seal is located between the first bearing and the second bearing, and the diameter of the sealing step is greater than or equal to the diameter of the limiting shoulder.

[0016] The sealing step separates the cantilever cavity from the motor housing cavity. To improve the sealing effect, the diameter of the sealing step is larger than the diameter of the limiting shoulder, so that the oil seal can completely cover the bearing, thus improving the sealing effect.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the quick-release structure of this forklift motor has the following advantages: When disassembling the motor, the motor shaft can be directly separated from the output shaft. At this time, the bearing is also disassembled along with the motor. In order to ensure the stability of reinstallation after quick disassembly, a connecting ring is fixed on the cantilever, and the limiting shoulder is inserted into the positioning edge. The outer wall of the limiting shoulder abuts against the positioning edge radially. After assembly, the radial limitation of the motor shaft is achieved through the cooperation of the positioning edge and the limiting shoulder, thereby improving the stability after installation.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, there is a gap 6 between the limiting shoulder 21a and the outer end face of the connecting ring sleeve 4.
