[0064] The control method for a heavy-duty forklift with a reach-fork system disclosed in this embodiment primarily involves control strategies for the traction motor and oil pump motor under different operating conditions.

The primary control elements include: the speed, acceleration, and deceleration rates of the forklift during travel; the braking force during braking; and the speed, acceleration, and deceleration rates of the forklift during forward and backward movement. This application can reduce mast sway when the forklift reaches a high cargo position, thereby increasing forklift stability, improving operator comfort and safety, avoiding potential safety hazards, and improving operational efficiency.
[0065] Example 2:
[0066] This application proposes a control device for a heavy-duty forklift with a reach-fork system, comprising:
[0067] Controller 5, instrument 7, oil pump motor 10, traction motor 11, bearing encoder 12, zero switch 13, height switch 14, brake switch 15, forward buffer switch 16 and backward buffer switch 17;
[0068] The controller 5 is in communication with the bearing encoder 12, the zero position switch 13, the height switch 14, the forward movement buffer switch 16, and the backward movement buffer switch 17. The controller 5 receives signals from each component to calculate the lifting height of the fork, and displays the lifting height of the fork in real time on the instrument 7 through communication. The controller 5 also controls the operation of the traction motor 11 and the oil pump motor 10 by obtaining the forklift movement control parameters and the fork movement control parameters according to the control method for the heavy-duty forward-moving forklift described in Example 1. The forklift movement control parameters include: driving speed, acceleration rate, and deceleration rate; the fork movement control parameters include: forward speed, backward speed, forward acceleration rate, backward acceleration rate, forward deceleration rate, and backward deceleration rate.
[0069] The brake switch 15 is used to provide a brake signal to the forklift. When the brake switch is released, the traction motor 11 will perform a regenerative braking function to stop the forklift in the driving state.
[0070] The following example illustrates the specific implementation process of the first and second embodiments of the present application in detail. As shown in FIG2 , a control device for a heavy-duty forklift with a reach type fork includes:
[0071] Lithium battery assembly 1, emergency power off switch 2, key switch 3, main contactor 4, controller 5, valve controller 6, instrument 7, DC-DC converter 8, multi-function handle 9, oil pump motor 10, traction motor 11, bearing encoder 12, zero position switch 13, height switch 14, brake switch 15, forward buffer switch 16 and backward buffer switch 17; in addition, fuses F1, F2, F3, F4 and F5 are also provided in the circuit to protect the safety of each circuit.
[0072] The lithium battery assembly 1, the emergency power off switch 2, the key switch 3 are connected with the DC-DC converter 8 and the multi-function handle 9 to form a power circuit;
[0073] The valve controller 6 is connected to the bearing encoder 12, the zero position switch 13, the height switch 14, the forward buffer switch 16 and the backward buffer switch 17, and calculates the lifting height of the fork through the bearing encoder 12, the zero position switch 13 and the height switch 14, and displays the lifting height of the fork in real time on the instrument 7 through communication;
[0074] The controller 5 and the valve controller 6 are connected to the lithium battery assembly 1 through the main contactor 4 to form a loop;
[0075] The brake switch 15 is used to provide a brake signal to the forklift. When the brake switch is released, the traction motor 11 will perform a regenerative braking function to stop the forklift in the driving state.
[0076] The circuit principles of this embodiment are as follows: The input of the emergency power-off switch 2 is normally powered, drawn from the front stage of the discharge relay in the lithium battery assembly 1. The key switch 3 is connected in series with the emergency power-off switch 2. When the emergency power-off switch 2 is energized and the key switch 3 is closed, the controller 5, valve controller 6, and the key port of the instrument 7 are energized. Simultaneously, the discharge relay of the lithium battery assembly 1 is closed, the main contactor 4 is closed, and the DC-DC converter 8 is energized, generating a 12V output voltage. The brake switch 15 primarily provides a braking signal to the vehicle. When the brake switch is released, the traction motor 11 performs regenerative braking, bringing the forklift to a stop while in motion. The bearing encoder 12, zero position switch 13, and height switch 14 primarily calculate the forklift lift height, which is displayed in real time on the instrument 7 via CAN bus communication. The bearing encoder 12 is an incremental encoder that outputs pulse signals. The zero position switch 13 and the height switch 14 are both standard Hall-effect PNP switches. When a metal plate comes into close contact with them, they generate a signal that is sent to the valve controller 6, which in turn transmits the signal to the meter 7 to calculate the current fork lift height. The forward and reverse buffer switches 16 and 17 are also standard Hall-effect PNP switches. When the forks move forward, a signal from the forward buffer switch 16 changes the speed of the forks. Similarly, when the forks move backward, a signal from the reverse buffer switch 17 changes the speed of the forks. The lithium battery assembly 1, controller 5, valve controller 6, meter 7, and multi-function handle 9 communicate via the CAN bus. Once the lithium battery assembly 1, controller 5, valve controller 6, meter 7, and multi-function handle 9 are powered on and self-tested, the vehicle begins operation.
[0077] To address the amount of sway when the forks are lifted to high cargo positions, different forks are lifted to different heights, mainly divided into three heights: 5 meters, 7 meters, and 9 meters. Four state quantities: 0-5 meters, 5-7 meters, 7-9 meters, and above 9 meters. The control method for the heavy-duty forklift used in the controller 5 is as follows:

A heavy-duty forklift control device, characterized in that: It includes a controller (5), an instrument (7), an oil pump motor (10), a traction motor (11), a bearing encoder (12), a zero position switch (13), a height switch (14), a brake switch (15), a forward buffer switch (16) and a backward buffer switch (17); The controller (5) is respectively connected to the bearing encoder (12), the zero position switch (13), the height switch (14), the forward buffer switch (16) and the backward buffer switch (17). The controller (5) receives signals from each component to calculate the lifting height of the fork, and displays the lifting height of the fork on the instrument (7) in real time through communication. The forklift movement control parameters and the fork movement control parameters obtained according to the heavy-duty fork forward moving forklift control method according to any one of claims 1 to 7 are used to control the operation of the traction motor (11) and the oil pump motor (10); The forklift movement control parameters include: driving speed, acceleration rate and deceleration rate; the fork movement control parameters include: forward speed, backward speed, forward acceleration rate, backward acceleration rate, forward deceleration rate and backward deceleration rate; The brake switch (15) is used to provide a brake signal to the forklift. When the brake switch is released, the traction motor (11) will realize a regenerative braking function to stop the forklift in a driving state.
