The forklift mast is the main load-bearing structure of the forklift's lifting device, and the welding quality of the mast structure directly affects the forklift's operational stability and safety. The forklift mast has a relatively complex structure, consisting of an inner mast, outer mast, fork carriage, forks, sprockets, chains, lifting cylinders, and tilting cylinders. The welding process of the outer mast requires strict control over the parallelism, perpendicularity, and distance between structural components, necessitating specialized tooling to control the accuracy of the welding process.

[0003] Currently, the welding of existing forklift masts mostly relies on manual marking, which can lead to positional misalignment during welding and rework. Furthermore, the high welding temperatures cause deformation due to thermal expansion and contraction, resulting in dimensional deviations in the welded mast and affecting forklift safety. Therefore, the existing welding fixture structure for new energy forklift masts needs further improvement. Utility Model Content
