Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-function lever for an industrial truck with a at least a first axis pivotable lever and at least one on the Lever arranged control element, whereby by pivoting the lever around the first axis and by actuating the control element at least one each Function of the truck is controllable.
  • Multi-function levers of the type mentioned are generally used in industrial trucks Control of various functions of a load suspension device used.
  • the load suspension device can be opened and closed in the vertical direction be moved.
  • the load suspension device can be inclined about a horizontal axis. It is also known that Load suspension device horizontally displaceable in one or two directions to execute.
  • Multi-function levers are used to one operator successive or simultaneous operation of various functions of the To enable the truck without changing hands to require conventional operating lever.
  • a single multi-function lever So at least two functions of the truck can be controlled.
  • Multi-function levers are used to operate the sequential or simultaneous to enable various functions in an ergonomically advantageous manner.
  • Known multi-function levers cannot achieve the above objectives completely satisfactory.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object To provide multi-function lever of the type mentioned, in which the most important functions can be controlled functionally in an ergonomically advantageous manner are.
  • control element by Swiveling about a second axis can be actuated, the second axis in the is substantially parallel to the first axis.
  • control element with the index finger of a Handle gripping hand is actuated.
  • index finger is a sensitive operation of the control element possible, so that the control element too can be used to generate multi-stage or stepless control signals can.
  • the vertical movement of the Load suspension device expediently by pivoting the lever around first axis controllable.
  • the lifting and lowering of the load handler is from the operator can thus be controlled by moving the entire hand.
  • a functional logic and the usual convention assignment of Direction of movement of the lever and load suspension device is when one Swiveling the lever towards the load suspension device to a vertical Downward movement of the load suspension device is assigned and one Swiveling the lever in the direction away from the load suspension device vertical upward movement of the load suspension device is assigned.
  • the truck is tiltable about a horizontal tilt axis Load suspension device
  • the inclination of the Load suspension device by pivoting the control element around the second Axis is controllable.
  • the inclination of the load suspension device is thus of the Operator can be controlled with the index finger of the hand gripping the handle.
  • This arrangement is particularly useful when the second axis in is arranged substantially parallel to the horizontal tilt axis and one Swiveling movement of the control element a tilting movement of the Load suspension device is assigned in the corresponding direction.
  • the lever by pivoting the lever about a third axis third function of the truck is controllable, the third axis in is arranged substantially perpendicular to the first axis.
  • the operator moves the lever to the left or from their point of view right.
  • the invention is when the Control element depending on the pivoting angle of the control element certain inclination speed of the load suspension device can be specified.
  • a neutral position is provided for the control element and the control element has Means for generating a restoring force in the direction of the neutral position. If the operator does not operate the control element, this ensures that the control element is in neutral position and no tilting movement of the Load suspension device takes place.
  • Additional functions can be controlled with the multi-function lever when on the Lever at least one switching element is arranged, when actuated by means of the control element instead of tilting the load suspension device Function of the truck is controllable.
  • the additional features for example, a load gripper or a feed device, can depend on the special version of the truck can be defined.
  • the switching element can expediently be actuated effectively only when the control element is in a neutral position. This ensures that by operating the switching element no incorrect operation of the with Control controllable functions can take place.
  • the industrial truck according to FIG. 1 has a vehicle frame 1, which has two load-side Antnebsrädem 2 and a rear wheel 3 stands on a road.
  • a driver's seat 4 and a steering wheel 10 are arranged such that an operator sitting on the driver's seat 4 on a Load suspension device 5 looks.
  • the load suspension device 5 is a load fork executed.
  • the load suspension device 5 is by means of a mast 6 vertically attached to the vehicle frame 1. Together with the Lift mast 6 can load lifting device 5 relative to vehicle frame 1 be inclined about a horizontal axis 7.
  • Industrial trucks are also known, where a mast is rigidly attached to the vehicle frame, and the Load suspension device is tiltable relative to the mast.
  • a Side shifters are provided with which the load suspension device 5 relative to the mast 6 in the transverse direction of the industrial truck, that is to say in the direction of the axis 7, is movable.
  • Multi-function lever 8 can be controlled as it is in Figure 2 is shown.
  • the multi-function lever is located next to one at the front end the driver's seat 4 arranged armrest 9, so that it by the operator with the right hand can be operated.
  • FIG 2 shows the multi-function lever 8 according to Figure 1 in viewing direction A.
  • Der Multifunction lever 8 has a movable body on the armrest 9 attached lever 11.
  • the lever 11 is a first, in the transverse direction of the Truck extending axis 12 pivotable, thus the vertical movement of the load suspension device 5 can be controlled.
  • the lever 11 after at the front, pivoted in the direction 12a, the load suspension device 5 moves to below, when the lever 11 is actuated in the direction 12b upwards
  • an operating element 13 is arranged on the lever 11, which is about an axis 14 can be pivoted. At least in the rest position of the lever 11 axes 12 and 14 are parallel to each other.
  • a Actuation of the control element in the direction 14a or 14b causes according to one Functional logic assignment a tilting of the load suspension device 5 with the same direction of rotation.
  • the lever 11 is additionally pivotable about a horizontal axis 15 which is in the extends essentially in the longitudinal direction of the industrial truck.
  • a horizontal axis 15 which is in the extends essentially in the longitudinal direction of the industrial truck.
  • a further switching element 16 is arranged such that it can be operated simultaneously with the control element 13.
  • the control element 13 instead of tilting the Load handling device 5 is assigned another function of the industrial truck. Additional devices such as, for example, come as such another function a feed device for the load or a load grab.
