[0018] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0019] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a fuel switching device for a domestically produced dual-fuel liquefied gas forklift according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, a fuel switching device for a domestic dual-fuel liquefied gas forklift according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a switcher 1, a solenoid valve 2, a connecting pipe 3, and a sealing mechanism 4.
[0021] Solenoid valve 2 is located at the bottom of switcher 1, and connecting pipe 3 is connected to the outer wall of solenoid valve 2. Sealing mechanism 4 includes first fixing plate 41, clamping plate 42, fixing shell 43, second fixing plate 45 and sealing ring 46.
[0022] The first fixing plate 41 is disposed on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3, the clamping plate 42 is installed on the inner wall of the first fixing plate 41, the fixing shell 43 is disposed on the outer wall of the clamping plate 42, the second fixing plate 45 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing shell 43, and the sealing ring 46 is respectively sleeved on the outer walls of the first fixing plate 41 and the second fixing plate 45.
[0023] A fixing ring 47 is fitted on the outer wall of the second fixing plate 45.
[0024] Bolts 44 are provided on the outer wall of the card plate 42. The bolts 44 pass through the card plate 42 and are threadedly connected to the first fixing plate 41.
[0025] Specifically, when the switcher 1 switches the forklift between LPG and fuel via the solenoid valve 2, the connecting pipe 3 acts as a bridge connecting the solenoid valve 2 and the forklift's fuel system. The sealing mechanism 4 ensures that no fuel leakage occurs at the connection point during the switching process. The first fixing plate 41 and the second fixing plate 45 are tightly fitted together by the sealing ring 46, effectively preventing fuel leakage. The fixing ring 47 further enhances the stability of the second fixing plate 45, preventing it from loosening during long-term use. The design of the bolt 44 not only simplifies the installation process but also ensures a firm connection between the clamping plate 42 and the first fixing plate 41, improving the durability and safety of the entire fuel switching device.
[0026] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a switching component 5 is installed inside the connecting pipe 3.
[0027] The switching assembly 5 includes a fixing bolt 51, a gasket 52, a fixing block 53, a flow limiting plate 54, and a ball core 55. The fixing bolt 51 is disposed on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3, the fixing block 53 is connected to the fixing bolt 51, the flow limiting plate 54 is connected to the fixing block 53, and the ball core 55 is disposed on the outer wall of the flow limiting plate 54.
[0028] Specifically, during switching, the ball core 55 rotates under the guidance of the flow restrictor 54, thereby controlling the fuel flow path. The retaining bolt 51 and retaining block 53 ensure the stable installation of the switching assembly 5 within the connecting pipe 3, while the gasket 52 further improves the sealing of the connection, preventing fuel leakage.
[0029] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a gasket 52 is provided on the outer wall of the fixing bolt 51.
[0030] Understandably, gasket 52 is made of corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant rubber to ensure that it will not fail due to fuel corrosion or high-temperature environments during long-term use.
[0031] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, a display screen 6 is installed on the outer wall of the switcher 1.
[0032] Understandably, display screen 6 can display the working status of the fuel switching device in real time, including the current fuel type, remaining fuel amount, and any potential fault warnings, thereby facilitating operators to monitor and manage the forklift's fuel usage.
[0033] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, a control valve 7 is installed at one end of the connecting pipe 3.
[0034] Understandably, the design of control valve 7 allows operators to manually control the flow of fuel, ensuring that the fuel supply can be quickly cut off in an emergency, thus improving the safety of forklift operation.
[0035] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, a preheating pipe 8 is provided on the outer wall of the control valve 7.
[0036] Understandably, the preheating pipe 8 is designed to preheat the fuel in a low-temperature environment, ensuring smooth fuel flow and preventing fuel solidification or poor flow due to excessively low temperatures.
[0037] Working Principle: When the forklift needs to switch fuels, the operator can issue a command through the operating interface of the switcher 1. After receiving the command, the switcher 1 adjusts the flow direction of liquefied petroleum gas or fuel oil in the connecting pipe 3 through the solenoid valve 2. During this process, the sealing ring 46 and fixing ring 47 in the sealing mechanism 4 ensure no fuel leakage at the connection, ensuring operational safety and environmental protection. The switching component 5 plays an important role in the fuel switching process. The ball core 55 rotates under the guidance of the flow restrictor 54, precisely controlling the fuel flow direction. The fixing bolt 51, fixing block 53, and gasket 52 together ensure the stable installation and good sealing of the switching component 5 in the connecting pipe 3. In addition, the display screen 6 displays the operating status of the fuel switching device in real time, including the current fuel type, remaining fuel quantity, and potential fault warnings. The operator can perform timely maintenance and management of the forklift based on the information provided by the display screen 6 to ensure its normal operation. In an emergency, the operator can manually cut off the fuel supply through the control valve 7. The design of the preheating pipe 8 can preheat the fuel in low-temperature environments, ensuring smooth fuel flow and avoiding fuel solidification or flow obstruction caused by low temperatures.
[0038] In summary, the fuel switching device for a domestically produced dual-fuel liquefied gas forklift in this embodiment of the present invention achieves efficient switching between liquefied gas and fuel oil through the coordinated operation of the solenoid valve 2, connecting pipe 3, sealing mechanism 4 and switching component 5, while ensuring the sealing of the connection and the safety of operation.
