Definitions
- the invention relates to a forklift truck according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the document EP 24 68 678 A1 discloses a forklift with fork prongs sensors. These are used to control the absorption of cargo. Accordingly, the fork sensors are directed forward in the direction of travel of the forklift.
- Another forklift truck is known from the document JP 2005 104 652 A1, which has fork-tine sensors for checking the picking up of load.
- the detection areas of the fork joint sensors are directed inwards across the forklift truck.
- the invention is based on the object of increasing the operational safety of a forklift truck. This object is achieved by a forklift truck according to claim 1. Preferred developments are contained in the subclaims and emerge from the following description and the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, for example.
- a forklift is a vehicle with a lifting fork.
- the lifting fork has several - usually exactly two - prongs which are used to pick up cargo.
- the height of the lifting fork can be adjusted to pick up the load and set it down at the destination.
- the forklift truck according to the invention has at least two environment sensors.
- the surroundings sensors are designed to detect that part of the surroundings of the fork lift truck that lies in their respective detection area.
- the field sensors are preferably optical cameras, radar, lidar or distance sensors. These can form an environment sensor individually or in pairs. In the latter case, it is a question of stereo sensors or cameras, which each consist of two recording units that are spaced apart from one another.
- the environment sensors are designed as fork-tine sensors. This means that they are attached to the forks.
- the invention also provides that the environment sensors are attached to different fork prongs. In detail, two environment sensors are not attached to the same fork prong.
- the forklift truck can have exactly two forks - a right and a left fork - and exactly two environment sensors - a left environment sensor and a right environment sensor.
- the right environment sensor is attached to the right fork arm and the left environment sensor to the left fork arm.
- the terms “bottom right” and “bottom left” relate here to the driver's perspective, ie to the perspective of a forklift driver who is facing forward in the direction of travel when driving straight ahead.
- the environment sensors are each directed with at least part of their detection area transversely to the forklift truck to the outside.
- the right environment sensor is therefore directed to the right and the left environment sensor to the left.
- An alignment transverse to the forklift truck is synonymous with an alignment orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the forklift truck.
- the longitudinal axis of the forklift runs in the direction of travel when driving straight ahead.
- the detection areas of the fork prongs sensors are at least partially oriented in the transverse direction, that is, orthogonally to the longitudinal direction of the fork lift truck. At least part of each detection area of the fork sensor therefore runs in the transverse direction. This means that at least one beam proceeding from the respective sensor and running in the transverse direction lies at least partially in the detection range of the sensor. In particular, an initial section of the beam lies in the detection area. The beam is preferably completely in the detection area.
- the environment sensors with their detection areas are preferably aligned exactly across the forklift truck. This means that a central axis or optical axis of the respective detection area is aligned transversely to the forklift truck. At least one part of the detection areas of the environment sensors are each directed outwards. This means that the at least one part, starting from the respective sensor, extends outwards with respect to the forklift truck. The at least part of the detection area therefore runs away from the forklift truck. There are therefore no fork tines in that part of the detection area.
- the environment sensors are preferably aligned in such a way that they do not detect any fork prongs at all.
- the alignment is preferably mirror-symmetrical.
- the environment sensors with their detection areas are located on different sides of a plane of symmetry. This preferably runs parallel to a longitudinal axis and a vertical axis of the forklift truck.
- the detection areas are completely on different sides of the plane of symmetry.
- the detection area of an environment sensor is therefore located completely on one side of the plane of symmetry, while the detection area of a further environment sensor is located completely on another side of the plane of symmetry.
- the environment sensors are also spaced apart from one another with the fork prongs.
- An area between the environment sensors or between the fork prongs is therefore not detected by the environment sensors.
- this area can be limited by a first plane running parallel to a longitudinal axis and a vertical axis of the forklift truck and a second plane also running parallel to a longitudinal axis and a vertical axis of the forklift truck.
- the area runs between the first level and the second level.
- the first plane and the second plane preferably each intersect an environment sensor.
- the detection areas of the environment sensors run completely on different sides of the first level and on different sides of the second level.
- a first detection area of a first environment sensor is therefore on a first side of the first level and on a first side of the second level, while a detection area of a second environment sensor is on a second side of the first level different from the first side and on a second side of the first level the first side is different side of the second level.
- the surroundings sensors are preferably each aligned horizontally with at least part of their detection area. This means that the above rays are horizontal.
- the central axes or optical axes of the environment sensors can each be aligned horizontally.
- the invention makes it possible to use the environment sensors to detect objects that are approaching the forklift truck. This prevents impending collisions.
- the invention is advantageous because fork sensors are placed in an exposed location. Cross traffic can thus be seen from the forks, which may not yet be visible from other parts of the forklift because the view is blocked by obstacles. Such situations typically occur in intersection areas.
- the forklift truck is preferably developed as part of an arrangement which, in addition to the forklift truck, includes a data processing device.
- the data processing device is designed to detect approaching objects by means of signals from the environment sensors. This implies that the environment sensors are connected to the data processing device in a signal-conducting manner.
- the data processing device can be structurally integrated into the forklift truck as a control device or designed as a separate one. If it is a separate device, the environment sensors are preferably connected to the data processing connection via a wireless signal connection.
- a method implemented by the data processing device for recognizing approaching objects preferably comprises a partial step for recognizing objects and a partial step for recognizing a movement of the objects.
- Appropriate detection methods are known from the prior art. For example, neural networks or stochastic methods are suitable for recognizing objects and their movements.
- the data processing device is preferably further developed to recognize an impending collision of the approaching objects with the forklift truck. For this purpose, the data processing device preferably evaluates the movement of the approaching objects and a movement of the forklift. Based on the movements, the routes of the objects and the forklift can be extrapolated. For this purpose, a course of the roadway of the forklift truck and / or a course of the roadway of an approaching object are preferably also taken into account.
- FIG. 1 A preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 1 in detail shows:
- the forklift 101 is shown in FIG. 1 from a bird's eye view.
- His Hubga bel has a left prong 103a and a right prong 103b.
- a left fork prong sensor 105a is attached to the left fork prong 103a and a right fork prong sensor 105b is attached to the right fork prong 103b.
- An obstacle 107 is located next to the forklift 101. This obscures the view of a driver of the forklift 101 of cross traffic approaching the forklift 101 from the left. An approaching object 109 is thus covered by the obstacle 107.
- a detection area 111a of the left fork arm sensor 105a extends from the left fork arm sensor 105a in the transverse direction of the forklift 101 to the left.
- a detection area 111b of the right fork joint sensor 105b extends from the right fork joint sensor 105b in the transverse direction of the forklift 101 to the right. Both detection areas 111a, 111b are directed outwards away from one another. As a result, the object lies in the detection area 111a of the left fork arm sensor 105a. An impending collision of the object 109 with the forklift 101 can be automatically recognized by appropriate algorithms implemented in a control unit of the forklift 101.
