Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift technology, and in particular to forklift water tanks and forklifts. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, forklift cooling systems primarily rely on a main radiator located inside the forklift's engine compartment. This radiator stores coolant and dissipates heat to ensure the forklift engine operates normally during operation. In forklift workshops, especially in high-temperature summer conditions, prolonged continuous operation can easily cause the main radiator temperature to rise. To prevent engine damage due to coolant shortage or overheating, drivers need to regularly check the main radiator level. Traditionally, this requires the driver to stop the forklift, open the main radiator cap, and directly observe the water level. On the one hand, the coolant temperature in the main water tank is high during summer operation. When the driver opens the water tank cap to check the water level, the high-temperature steam and coolant can easily come into direct contact with the human body, posing a serious risk of burns and failing to meet the safety regulations for workshop operations. On the other hand, traditional inspections require stopping the forklift, and frequent starts and stops not only affect the efficiency of forklift operation but also increase the complexity of the operation process. Therefore, this utility model proposes a forklift water tank and forklift to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0016] To deepen the understanding of this utility model, the following detailed description will be provided in conjunction with embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0017] Example 1 according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, this embodiment proposes a forklift water tank, including a bracket 1, a pallet 2, and an auxiliary water tank 3. The pallet 2 is located below one side of the bracket 1, and the auxiliary water tank 3 is located on the pallet 2. Both sides of the auxiliary water tank 3 are provided with viewing windows 4, and the viewing windows 4 are provided with water level scales. A movable frame 5 is mounted on one side of the support 1, and a protective frame 6 is located below the movable frame 5. The protective frame 6 is used to cover the outside of the auxiliary water tank 3 for protection. Both sides of the protective frame 6 are equipped with adjustable mirror assemblies that reflect the water level scale. The support 1 provides a supporting foundation for the overall structure, and the support plate 2 fixes the position of the auxiliary water tank 3 by supporting it. The auxiliary water tank 3 stores coolant, and the water level scale in the viewing window 4 directly reflects the liquid level in the tank. The driver can observe the water level through the viewing window 4 without opening the main water tank cover. The movable frame 5 can move along the support 1, driving the protective frame 6 below to move, so that the protective frame 6 can accurately cover the auxiliary water tank 3 and prevent external objects from colliding with the auxiliary water tank 3 during operation. The adjustable mirror assembly on the protective frame 6 can be adjusted in angle to reflect the water level scale on the viewing window 4 into the driver's field of vision, solving the problem of limited observation angle.

[0018] The adjustable mirror assembly includes a bending rod 8 and a mirror body 9. A threaded sleeve 7 is provided on the protective frame 6. One end of the bending rod 8 is threadedly installed with the threaded sleeve 7, and the mirror body 9 is located at the other end of the bending rod 8. The threaded sleeve 7 is fixed to the protective frame 6, providing an installation reference for the bending rod 8. The bending rod 8, through its threaded engagement with the threaded sleeve 7, can rotate around the sleeve 7 to adjust its angle, thereby causing the mirror body 9 at its end to change position. The mirror body 9 utilizes the principle of light reflection to reflect the water level scale on the viewing window 4 of the auxiliary water tank 3 to a direction observable by the driver, adapting to the observation needs of different heights or working positions.

[0019] The auxiliary water tank 3 is equipped with a water inlet on its top, and a sealing cap 10 is provided on the water inlet. The water inlet on the top of the auxiliary water tank 3 provides a channel for replenishing coolant. When the liquid level in the auxiliary water tank 3 is too low, the sealing cap 10 can be opened to inject coolant through the water inlet. When no water is being added, the sealing cap 10 is closed to prevent coolant from splashing out due to vibration and high temperature, and also to prevent dust and impurities from entering the auxiliary water tank 3 and contaminating the coolant, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the cooling system.

[0020] The bottom of the auxiliary water tank 3 is provided with a foot 11, and the foot 11 is fixed to the support plate 2 by bolts. The foot 11 is located at the bottom of the auxiliary water tank 3 to buffer the vibration generated during forklift operation, reduce the impact of vibration on the auxiliary water tank 3, and prevent the auxiliary water tank 3 from being damaged by long-term vibration. At the same time, the foot 11 is fixed to the support plate 2 by bolts to stably limit the auxiliary water tank 3 on the support plate 2, and prevent the auxiliary water tank 3 from shifting or tipping over during forklift travel or operation.

[0021] The support 1 has an opening 12 on one side, and the moving frame 5 extends to the inside of the opening 12 and moves along the opening 12. The opening 12 on the support 1 provides movement space for the moving frame 5, and the part of the moving frame 5 extending to the inside of the opening 12 can move along the trajectory of the opening 12; through this movable structure, the position of the protective frame 6 below the moving frame 5 can be adjusted, so that the protective frame 6 can accurately realize the function of covering for protection or opening for maintenance according to the installation height of the auxiliary water tank 3 or the usage requirements.

[0022] The upper part of the bracket 1 has an inner cavity communicating with the opening 12, and a threaded screw 13 is rotatably mounted inside the inner cavity. A nut sleeve adapted to the threaded screw 13 is provided on one side of the moving frame 5. A handle 14 is provided on the top of the bracket 1, and the handle 14 is connected to the threaded screw 13. The handle 14 is the operating end; rotating the handle 14 can drive the threaded screw 13 in the inner cavity of the bracket 1 to rotate synchronously. Since the nut sleeve on one side of the moving frame 5 is adapted to the threaded screw 13, the rotational motion of the threaded screw 13 is converted into the linear motion of the nut sleeve through the threaded engagement, thereby driving the moving frame 5 to move along the opening 12, achieving precise adjustment of the position of the protective frame 6, which is convenient to operate and stable in adjustment.

[0023] Example 2 according to Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, this embodiment proposes a forklift, including the aforementioned forklift water tank and forklift body 15. A fixing plate 17 is provided on one side of the bracket 1, and the fixing plate 17 is fixed to the rear side of the cab of the forklift body 15 by bolts. The fixing plate 17 serves as the connection medium between the bracket 1 and the forklift body 15. The fixing plate 17 is fastened to the forklift body 15 by bolts, ensuring that the bracket 1 drives the entire forklift water tank structure to be stably installed on the forklift body 15 at the rear of the cab. This connection method ensures that the water tank structure does not loosen or shift during forklift operation, guaranteeing the normal functioning of the water tank.

[0024] The bottom of the auxiliary water tank 3 is equipped with a conduit 16, which connects to the main water tank inside the engine compartment of the forklift body 15. The conduit 16 serves as a fluid passage between the auxiliary water tank 3 and the main water tank, utilizing gravity or pressure difference to facilitate coolant flow. When the coolant level in the main water tank inside the engine compartment of the forklift body 15 decreases, the coolant in the auxiliary water tank 3 is automatically replenished to the main water tank through the conduit 16, maintaining the normal coolant level in the main water tank, ensuring the heat dissipation function of the forklift cooling system, and preventing engine overheating due to insufficient water in the main water tank.

[0025] This invention adds an auxiliary water tank 3 to the forklift body for connecting to the main water tank. Visible windows 4 with water level markings are provided on both sides of the auxiliary water tank 3, allowing the driver to directly read the water level from the outside of the forklift without opening the main water tank cap, avoiding contact with the high-temperature coolant. Furthermore, an adjustable mirror assembly is installed on the protective frame 6. By rotating the bending rod 8, the angle of the mirror 9 can be adjusted to reflect the water level markings on the visible windows 4, adapting to different observation needs. The protective frame 6 covers the outside of the auxiliary water tank 3, resisting external impacts and reducing the risk of damage to the auxiliary water tank 3, further enhancing operational safety. In addition, the auxiliary water tank 3 is bolted to the support plate 2 via pads 11, and the bracket 1 is bolted to the forklift body 15 via fixing plates 17. This eliminates the need to modify the core structure of the forklift body, making it compatible with multiple forklift models. Moreover, the bolted connection structure allows for easy disassembly and replacement of the auxiliary water tank 3 simply by unscrewing the bolts, simplifying operation and saving maintenance time.
