Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a load handling vehicle, hereinafter referred to as a "specified type of vehicle", which comprises a structure having a load transporting device at a front end of the vehicle, a lifting device for lifting the device for transporting loads, a power unit for generating the power required for the load transport device and the propulsion device, a propulsion device comprising a pair of large front wheels and ground contact placed at because of one on each side of the vehicle and a pair of small rear wheels intended to be in contact with the ground and each placed on one side of the vehicle, a seat for the operator.
  • the realization of the material handling vehicle of the specified type comprises a telescopic beam pivotally mounted on the supporting structure in a rear end region of the beam, upwards or downwards under the action of the motor device in a plane extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the arm having a load carrying accessory, in its front end region, the front wheels of contact with the ground, large dimensions being driven by the engine power unit and the rear ground contact wheels being steered, the load lifting device being arranged substantially in the median axis of the vehicle, the seat being offset on one side of this central axis, the group motor power being installed on the other side of this median axis.
  • Rear ground contact wheels may not be driven by the engine power unit.
  • the axis of the crankshaft of the engine is substantially perpendicular to the median plane x-x 'front-rear of the vehicle and placed as far back as possible, in front of rear wheels.
  • the telescopic arm can be installed along the seat, above the engine power group and in the down position on the inside of a front wheel, and the load lifting device in the center line of the vehicle. .
  • the driver's seat may be shifted 450 mm from the center line, partially covering the load lifting device located in this axis.
  • the telescopic arm being offset by about 150 mm on the other side of the central axis and allowing the passage of the arm next to a front wheel.
  • the vehicle preferably has a width of less than 1800 mm.
  • the engine power group may cause the wheels by a hydraulic device.
  • the pivot axis of the arm can occupy a position behind the axis of rotation of the rear wheels.
  • the present embodiment makes it possible to achieve the aforementioned object by producing a machine with small dimensions whose width may be less than 1800 mm, the length of less than 2600 mm and a height of less than 2300 mm.
  • This result is obtained by the arrangement of the load lifting device in the central axis, the telescopic arm interposed between the driver's seat and the opposite front wheel, the engine power unit installed perpendicular to the axis of the vehicle and partially under the arrow.
  • Such a vehicle is relatively narrow, has large front wheels while visibility to the front of the driver is not superfluously reduced by elements of the vehicle.
  • FIGS 1 to 5 show a load vehicle type of a telescopic forklift, generally 1.
  • the vehicle 1 has a front end 11 and an end Rear 12.
  • Two large ground front wheels 13 are placed in the front end region and are opposite in the width direction of the vehicle so that they are each on one side of the vehicle.
  • Two rear ground contact wheels 14 are placed in a rear end region of the vehicle and are also spaced along the width of the vehicle so that they are each on one side of the vehicle.
  • the rear wheels 14 are mounted on a conventional suspension axle 16 and are not driven by the engine. They are directed via a steering cylinder 17 of conventional installation.
  • the front wheels 13 are driven by a set of reducers 18 and hydraulic motors 19 of conventional design. This assembly could be replaced by a bridge driven by a hydraulic motor.
  • a seat 20 is offset from the median plane x-x 'of the vehicle in the opposite direction to the arm 30 and the power group 60 defined below.
  • An operator seat 20 may be disposed within an operator compartment 21, in which a steering wheel 22 and conventional pedal and joystick controls of the vehicle are placed.
  • This compartment 21 cabin type has several openings that can be glazed or not.
  • An access door may or may not be fitted in this compartment.
  • This assembly can be linked to the supporting structure by elastic suspensions.
  • the load lifting device comprises a single telescopic arm 30 pivotally mounted on the structure 50 in a rear region 12 of the arm so that it has a vertical pivoting movement under the control of the load lifting device in a plane which extends in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, parallel to the central plane xx 'of the vehicle and offset from this plane in the direction of the width.
  • the arm 30 is articulated on the structure 50 about a horizontal axis 62, also located in the rear region 12 of the structure 50.
  • the telescopic arm 30 is composed at its front end 31 of a load accessory support 32 hinged about the axis 33 integral with the telescopic arm.
  • the rotation of the accessory support is ensured by a tilt cylinder 34 placed substantially in the median axis x-x 'of the vehicle and fixed on the accessory support by the articulation 35, and the telescopic arm by the articulation 36.
  • the telescopic arm 30 is pivoted upwards and downwards by a lift cylinder 37 connected at 38 by an axis to the telescopic arm 30 and by an axis 39 to the structure 50.
  • This position of the telescopic arm 30 allows the installation of large front wheels 13.
  • the load lifting device (tilt cylinder 34 and lifting cylinder 37) is completed by a compensation cylinder 40 fixed on the arm 30 by the articulation 41 and on the structure 50 by the articulation 42.
  • This jack 40 connected to the tilt cylinder 34 by hydraulic pipes and by a suitable definition angularly maintains the accessory support relative to the horizontal during the lifting function.
  • the compensation function installed is of the classic type.
  • This compensation cylinder 40 is installed in the plane of the lift cylinder 37.
  • the three jacks of the load lifting device namely the tilt, tilt and compensating jacks 34, are located substantially in the center plane xx 'of the machine.
  • the engine power group 60 is installed on the opposite to the seat of the driver, and partly under the arm 30, its crankshaft axis 61 being disposed substantially perpendicular to the median axis x-x '.
  • This group of engine power 60 can have as energy source fuel, but also the gas (natural or propane) or electricity delivered by batteries.
  • This group of engine power is arranged transversely allowing a natural accessibility of the engine 60 and the hydraulic members 70 and 75 located under the structure 50 and the cabin 21.
  • the supporting structure 50 comprises a central beam 51 reconstituted by assembling welded sheets 52 and forming a closed section 53 of great torsional inertia, and ensuring good maintenance of the load when the latter is lifted.
  • the section of the central beam is substantially square.
  • the power motor 60 is connected to the front wheels 13 by a hydraulic transmission comprising a pump 70, one or more hydraulic motors 18, various sensors and actuators, all managed by an electronic assembly.
  • This hydraulic transmission will come from a manufacturer of this type of components.
  • Hydraulic distributors controlled from the control station 21 will distribute the power delivered by the pump 75 on the selected cylinders. This transmission will be carried out using trade components.
  • the noise sources (radiator suction 91, air filter, exhaust 90), will be installed on the opposite side to the cabin.
  • Figure 7 describes a variant of the previous vehicle and consists in making the rear wheels drive and steering.
  • the hydraulic transmission of the power of the engine 60 to the rear wheels 14 will be via hydraulic motors 72 and 73 gearboxes installed on the pivoting portion of the wheels 14. This hydraulic transmission will take up some of the components of the translation of the front wheels 13.
