Definitions

  • the invention concerns telescopic lift mast assemblies for fork lift trucks able to perform a full free lift of the load, i.e. the lift of the load without the overall length of mast increases, and then a second lift of the load during which the mast assembly expands longitudinally.
  • the mast assemblies operates by means of hydraulic cylinders.
  • Fork lift trucks use various types of telescoping lift masts, hydraulically operated, among which some perform a first lift of the load, usually positioned on a pair of forks, without any increment of the overall mast length, i.e. without the mast expansion.
  • This is obtained by means of the so-called “full free lift masts” which usually comprise a stationary frame fixed to the fork lift truck chassis and one or two mobile frames, the “inner” and the “intermediate”, sliding one into the other.
  • full free lift masts for lift trucks comprise three hydraulic cylinders: one shorter, almost half of the length of the others two, deputed to the full free lifting and arranged in the middle of the mast assembly, and two cylinders arranged adjacent to the outer sides or rear of the mast assembly, deputed to the second lifting stage.
  • the forward visibility through a full free lift mast is limited because of the presence of the cylinder, or the two cylinders, within the mast assembly.
  • said documents FR 1325390 A and US 3805681 A also disclose that said mast is operated by means of a single hydraulic two-step cylinder mounted in the middle of said mast; that the inner tubular rod of said single two-step cylinder is supported down on the outer frame; that the intermediate tube of said single two-step cylinder has radial holes for oil passage, sliding on the rod; that said single two-step cylinder has a stop collar; that said single two-step cylinder has an annular piston fixed to the outer surface of the intermediate tube; and that said single two-step cylinder has an outer tube, sliding on the intermediate tube, of such a length that its stroke is capable, by means of said lifting device, of raising completely the fork carriage along the inner frame.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide full free lift masts for fork lift trucks, with either one or two sliding frames, which are able to operate by means of only a pair of hydraulic two-step cylinders, arranged adjacent the outer sides or rear of the mast assembly, consequently obtaining an improved forward visibility with regard to the prior art.
  • the device according to the aim of the invention relates to a lift mast assembly comprising two or three frames, one of which fixed to the fork lift truck chassis and one sliding frame or two sliding frames, a pair of hydraulic two-step cylinders wich are able, by means of a transmission device comprising chains and pulleys, to transmit the motion to the mobile parts of the mast assembly in such a way to perform a first lifting of the fork carriage without any increment of the overall mast length, that is the full free lift, and then a second lifting of the fork carriage up to the maximum lifting heigth, during which the mobile frame slides in the fixed one, or the two mobile frames slide reciprocally, respectively if two or three frames are comprised in the mast assembly.
  • hydraulic two-step cylinders according to the present invention doesn't need any flexible pipes and any pertinent guide pulleys to be fed by hydraulic oil, because their inlet ports are stationary during all lifting stages.
  • Fig. 1 shows a partial longitudinal section through the hydraulic two-step cylinder 1 in its neutral position.
  • the cylinder assembly 1 operates as two hydraulic cylinders.
  • the hydraulic cylinder 1 comprises an outer mobile tube 2 whose length is about half that of the cylinder assembly 1.
  • a bottom threaded cap 3 and an upper welded cap 5 are fixed to the ends of the outer tube 2. Both caps are axially drilled and have peripheral sealing gaskets 4.
  • An intermediate mobile tube 6 is mounted inside the tube 2, which is characterized by two different wall thicknesses 7 and 8 in order to differentiate the longitudinal hydraulic thrusts in the two sliding directions because of the cylinder 1 is an "immersion" type cylinder, that is the annular chambers above and below the piston 9 are communicating one with the other.
  • the intermediate tube 6 has a welded cap 13 at the upper end, provided with a radial hole and a screw 14 for air purge, and has at the other end a threaded cap 10 provided with sealing gaskets 11.
  • a stop collar 12 is housed inside of the intermediate tube 6.
  • the piston 9 is welded to the outer surface of the tube 6.
  • the piston 9 has an inner circular hollow 15 and some longitudinal slots 16 on the periphery, through which and through the radial holes 17, provided on the wall of the tube 6, pressurized oil can flow into the upper and lower annular chambers, delimited by the tubes 2 and 6 and separated by the piston 9.
  • the outer tube 2 and the intermediate tube 6 establish an "immersion" type hydraulic cylinder, that is the two chambers separated by the piston 9 are in fluid communication and therefore the piston 9 hasn't any sealing gaskets.
  • the piston-rod 18 is the stationary component of the hydraulic two-step cylinder 1.
  • the piston 19 is drilled axially and has some radial holes 21 which allow the oil passage from inside the tubular rod 18 towards the annular chamber delimited by the rod 18 and tube 6.
  • the inner hydraulic cylinder comprising the tube 6, the rod 18 and the piston 19 is an "immersion" type cylinder, i.e. without gaskets on the piston 19, hence the upper and lower chambers are in fluid communication.
  • the piston 19 mounts externally the guide collar 20 and internally the hollow valve 24 on which acts the spring 23.
  • the valve 24 has radial orifices 25 and has the function of reducing the rate of speed of the tube 6 in the last lowering sector.
  • the valve 24 is completely retracted because of the contact pressure of the cap 13 when the tube 6 is closed upon the piston 19.
  • the tubular rod 18 ends with an axially drilled cap 22.
  • the cap 22 is threaded externally for the inlet/outlet oil pipe connection and internally for housing a safety valve, not shown in Fig. 1 , which prevents an accelerated movement of the pressurized oil inside the hydraulic cylinder 1 in case of rupture of the pipe connected to the cap 22.
  • the cylinder 1 operates like a pair of hydraulic cylinders, an inner and an outer cylinder.
  • the outer hydraulic cylinder comprises the tube 2, tube 6 and piston 9 fixed to the tube 6.
  • the inner hydraulic cylinder comprises the tube 6, the tubular rod 18 and the piston 19 fixed to the rod 18.
  • Fig. 2 represents a partial longitudinal section through the hydraulic two-step cylinder 1 when it has completed the first stroke, the first step, due to the oil pressure provided by a hydraulic pump, shown in dashed lines.
  • the outer tube 2 is at the end of the stroke because the lower cap 3, stationary to the outer tube 2, is stopped by the contact with the piston 9 of the intermediate tube 6.
  • Pressurized oil enters from the lower cap 22, passes through the tubular rod 18, the holes 21 of piston 19, fills the annular chamber between the rod 18 and the tube 6, passes through the radial holes 17 and the hollows 15, 16 of the piston 9 and reaches the outer cylinder.
  • the oil pressure moves upward the outer tube 2.
  • Fig. 3 finally, represents cylinder assembly 1 at the end of second stage, during which the intermediate tube 6 slides on the tubular rod 18.
  • the outer tube 2 and the intermediate tube 6 move together upwards.
  • the cylinder 1 has reached its maximum extension as the stop collar 12 is in contact with the lower annular surface of the piston 19.
  • dashed lines which is at atmospheric pressure
  • the reverse sequence of lowering is obtained, so that the intermediate tube 6 moves downward, sliding on the rod 18, and also drags the outer tube 2 without relative movement.
  • the outer tube 2 begins to slide downward along the tube 6 until the cylinder assembly 1 returns to the neutral condition shown in Fig.1 .
  • Fig. 4 shows the two-step cylinder 1 in the last sector of the lowering stroke of the intermediate tube 6, when the braking valve 24 begins to close.
  • the upper cap 13 comes in contact with the valve 24 that begins to close and compress the spring 23.
  • the oil in the shrinking chamber 26 cannot flow further through the uppermost opening of the hollow valve 24, but is forced to flow through the calibrated holes 25 of valve 24 and also could leak along the guide collar 20 of the piston 19, that, as stated, hasn't any gaskets. In this way, the damping effect, created by this hydraulic constriction, is braking the intermediate tube 6 in the last sector of its lowering stroke.
  • Figs. 5A-B-C show a variant of the hydraulic two-step cylinder assembly, as the outer tube 52 runs in the opposite direction to that of the intermediate tube 56.
  • Fig. 5A represents the two-step cylinder assembly 51 partially sectioned longitudinally in its neutral state.
  • the hydraulic two-step cylinder 51 is arranged so that the first stage of the outer tube 52 runs downwards, in the opposite direction to the outer tube 2 of previous cylinder assembly 1 of Fig. 1 .
  • the inner tubular rod of hydraulic cylinder 51 remains identical to the rod 18 of cylinder 1. Instead, the axially drilled caps of the outer tube 52 are reversed compared to those of the cylinder assembly 1 in Fig. 1 , i.e. the cap 3 is screwed at the top and the cap 5 is welded at the bottom, as shown in Fig. 5A .
  • Fig. 5B and Fig. 5C show the front view of the cylinder 51 at the end of each stage.
  • Fig. 5B represents the cylinder assembly 51 when the outer tube 52 has completed its downward stroke
  • Fig. 5C represents the cylinder 51 at the end of the second stage during which the intermediate tube 56 moves up to its uppermost position and drags simultaneously the outer tube 52.
  • the outer hydraulic cylinder comprising the intermediate tube 56, the piston 54 and the outer tube 52 is an "immersion" hydraulic cylinder, i.e. without sealing gaskets arranged on the piston 54: this is not a restrictive condition of the present invention, because both two-step cylinder assemblies 1 and 51 can be arranged to carry out hydraulic cylinders of sealed type, as it will be described below.
  • Fig. 6 represents a partial longitudinal section through the hydraulic two-step cylinder 61 in its neutral state.
  • the cylinder assembly 61 is the "sealed" version of the cylinder 1 in Fig. 1 , i.e. the outer piston 69 is arranged with the sealing gasket 65 on the annular boundary with the inner surface of the outer tube 62.
  • the differences between the "sealed" cylinder assembly 61 with the “immersion” cylinder assembly 1 are:
