Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of transportation machinery and vehicle engineering technology, and specifically relates to a manual braking assembly for forklifts. Background Technology

[0002] Forklifts are commonly used material handling equipment in the industrial field, mainly used in warehouses, workshops, ports and other scenarios. They use forks to lift, move and stack goods, greatly improving the efficiency of heavy object handling. According to the power, they can be divided into internal combustion forklifts, electric forklifts and other types. The manual braking assembly is the core safety component of a forklift, equivalent to the forklift's "handbrake." Its function is to secure the vehicle's position when the forklift is stopped, such as during loading and unloading or parking, preventing it from sliding due to road inclines or external forces. It typically consists of an operating handle, brake cable, brake shoes or brake discs, and a return spring. Its working principle is that manually pulling the operating handle tightens the cable, causing the brake shoes to engage tightly with the brake drum or brake disc with the brake caliper, using friction to generate braking force and lock the forklift wheels. When the handle is released, the return spring returns the components to their original position, releasing the brakes and ensuring the forklift can move normally. Existing manual braking assemblies require manual gripping of the handle for braking operation. Although the handle surface has some texture to increase friction, its material and shape may not fit the operator's hand well during prolonged operation, leading to hand fatigue and affecting operating efficiency and experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a manual braking assembly for forklifts, which aims to solve the problem that existing manual braking assemblies require manual gripping of the handle for braking operation. Although the surface of the handle has a certain texture to increase friction, its material and shape may not fit the operator's hand well during long-term operation, leading to hand fatigue and affecting operating efficiency and experience.

[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0014] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides the following technical solution: A manual brake assembly for a forklift, comprising a brake assembly body 1, a handle 2 mounted on the top surface of the brake assembly body 1, a limiting rod 3 connected to the surface of the handle 2, the surface of the limiting rod 3 being fitted into a limiting groove 5 opened on the surface of a silicone sleeve 4, the surface of the silicone sleeve 4 being fitted onto the surface of the handle 2, an extension strip 6 connected to one side of the open end of the silicone sleeve 4, a guide strip 7 bonded to the surface of the extension strip 6, the surface of the guide strip 7 being inserted into the surface of a guide groove 8, the guide groove 8 being opened on the surface of an arc-shaped groove 9, and the arc-shaped groove 9 being opened on the side of the surface of the silicone sleeve 4 away from the extension strip 6. The arc-shaped groove 9 is connected to the sleeve rod 10, the outer surface of the sleeve rod 10 is connected to the anti-detachment head 11, the surface of the anti-detachment head 11 abuts against the guide strip 7, the surface of the guide strip 7 has a fixing groove 12, the surface of the fixing groove 12 is fitted with the sleeve rod 10, and the surface of the silicone sleeve 4 is bonded with an anti-slip strip 13. In this design scheme, the main body of the braking assembly 1 and the handle 2 constitute the main body of the forklift manual braking assembly, and a large number of related components are set in the main body of the forklift manual braking assembly. Since they are existing technologies and the core content of this technical solution is irrelevant to them, they will not be described in detail in this technical solution. In use: The main body of the manual brake assembly is operated by pulling the operating handle 2. The handle 2 rotates around the connecting pin, which drives the cable connected to it. The cable then transmits the force to the braking components (such as brake shoes or brake calipers) at the forklift wheels, so that the braking components are in close contact with the brake drums or brake discs of the wheels. The braking effect is generated by friction, thus realizing the parking brake of the forklift. Pressing the button on the handle 2 can release the locking mechanism. Lowering the handle 2 will release the brake.

[0015] Preferably, two sets of limiting rods 3 are symmetrically distributed on the surface of the handle 2.

[0016] In practical use, the limiting grooves 5 opened on the surface of the silicone sleeve 4 are respectively connected to the surface of the limiting rod 3, so as to facilitate the precise positioning of the silicone sleeve 4 on the surface of the handle 2.

[0017] Preferably, the limiting groove 5 is a circular through groove, the shape and size of which are adapted to the limiting rod 3.

[0018] In practical use, the limiting groove 5 opened on the surface of the silicone sleeve 4 is used to fit onto the surface of the limiting rod 3, so as to facilitate precise positioning of the silicone sleeve 4 on the surface of the handle 2.

[0019] Preferably, the guide strip 7 is an arc-shaped semi-circular strip structure, the shape and size of which are adapted to the guide groove 8, and the two guide strips 7 are symmetrically distributed on the surface of the extension strip 6.

[0020] In practical use, the extension strap 6 and the guide strap 7 are inserted into the guide groove 8 and the arc groove 9, and the extension strap 6 is sleeved on the sleeve rod 10 to fix the position of the silicone sleeve 4 on the surface of the handle 2.

[0021] Preferably, the fixing groove 12 is a circular through groove, the shape and size of which are adapted to the sleeve rod 10, and the anti-detachment head 11 is a funnel-shaped integrated structure, the shape and size of which are adapted to the fixing groove 12.

[0022] In practical use, the silicone rubber extension band 6 is pulled outward, so that the fixing groove 12 on its surface, which is fitted onto the sleeve rod 10 and the anti-detachment head 11, can elastically expand and detach from the surface of the anti-detachment head 11, thereby separating the extension band 6, sleeve rod 10, and anti-detachment head 11 that are fitted together.

[0023] Preferably, six anti-slip strips 13 are distributed in a ring at equal intervals on the surface of the silicone sleeve 4.

[0024] In actual use, the anti-slip strips 13 distributed in a ring on the surface of the silicone sleeve 4 increase the friction between the user's hand holding the handle 2 and the silicone sleeve 4, thereby increasing the grip stability.

[0025] Working principle: When using a forklift to transfer goods, pulling handle 2 causes it to rotate around the connecting pin, which in turn drives the connected cable. The cable then transmits force to the braking components at the forklift wheels, causing the braking components to fit tightly against the brake drums or discs of the wheels. This friction generates a braking effect, enabling the forklift to park and pick up goods. When moving the forklift to move goods, the user can grip the silicone sleeve 4 on the surface of handle 2. The annular anti-slip strips 13 on the surface of silicone sleeve 4 increase the friction between the user's hand and the silicone sleeve 4, thereby increasing grip stability. In addition, the four arc-shaped grooves on the surface of anti-slip strips 13 can better fit the fingers of the hand, making it easier for the user to grip handle 2. Pressing the button on handle 2 releases the locking mechanism, allowing the user to lower handle 2 and release the brake. Through the above methods, the braking system 1 can stably adjust the operation of braking and moving the forklift. After prolonged use, or after the surface of the silicone sleeve 4 becomes oily, the silicone rubber extension band 6 can be pulled outwards to make the fixing groove 12 on the sleeve rod 10 and the anti-detachment head 11 elastically enlarge and detach from the surface of the anti-detachment head 11, thereby separating the extension band 6, sleeve rod 10, and anti-detachment head 11 that are sleeved together. Then, pull the extension band 6, guide band 7, guide groove 8, and arc groove 9 that are inserted together to both sides to separate the extension band 6 and arc groove 9 that are inserted together, thereby removing and replacing the silicone sleeve 4. When fixing the new silicone sleeve 4, the limiting groove 5 opened on the surface of the silicone sleeve 4 is used to fit onto the surface of the limiting rod 3, thereby facilitating the precise positioning of the silicone sleeve 4 on the surface of the handle 2. Then, the extension band 6 and guide band 7 are inserted into the guide groove 8 and arc groove 9, and the extension band 6 is sleeved onto the sleeve rod 10, thereby fixing the position of the silicone sleeve 4 on the surface of the handle 2. In this design, the silicone sleeve 4, extension strap 6, guide strap 7, sleeve rod 10, anti-detachment head 11, and anti-slip strip 13 are all made of silicone rubber.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
