The operator sitting on the seat 15 operates the tilt operation lever 25, that is, the tilt operation lever 2
By pushing and pulling 5 to switch the main valve 24, the tilt cylinder 8 can be extended and retracted, and the mast 6 can be tilted in the front-rear direction via the mast connection shaft 7.

At this time, by pulling the tilt operation lever 25 forward, hydraulic oil from the pump 23 flows into the rod side of the tilt cylinder 8 and the tilt cylinder 8 can be contracted and moved. As shown by the imaginary line of FIG.
, The cargo A being supported can be tilted backward.

At this time, when the contraction movement of the tilt cylinder 8 reaches an intermediate position, the sensor 31 detects the plate 32 to be detected, and the detection signal is input to the control device 39, whereby the instruction from the control device 39 is issued. As a result, the solenoid valve 35 is automatically closed, so that the contraction movement of the tilt cylinder 8 is stopped, and the tilting (rearward tilting) behind the mast 6 can be stopped in the middle. That is, the tilt angle of the mast 6 toward the rear side is detected by the rear tilt angle detecting means 30, and the solenoid valve (intermediate rear tilt stopping means) 35 which operates based on the detection of the rear tilt angle detecting means 30,

That is, the intermediate stop state by the solenoid valve 35 can be released by the intermediate rearward tilt release means 37.

Therefore, the tilt cylinder 8 can be further contracted by pulling the tilt operation lever 25 forward while pressing the release switch 38, and the mast 6 is further tilted backward (backward tilt), and the fork 14 , The load A being supported can be further inclined backward. At that time,

In order to return the mast 6 tilted around the mast connection shaft 7 as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 1 to the upright posture as shown by the solid line in FIG. By pressing the tilt operation lever 25 forward without pressing the release switch 38, the tilt cylinder 8 can be extended and moved.

As described above, the tilt angle of the mast 6 to the rear side is detected by the rear tilt angle detecting means 30 to operate the solenoid valve 35, and the tilt of the mast 6 to the rear side can be stopped at the intermediate position. Thus, in a normal situation, the vehicle can be stopped at a desired intermediate rearward inclination angle, and the intermediate rearward stop state by the solenoid valve 35 can be released by the intermediate rearward inclination release means 37, so that a large rearward inclination angle can be obtained if necessary. .

This allows the fork 14 to be maintained at an arbitrary rearward inclination angle, thereby preventing the load A from dropping. For example, a load group loaded in the load (container) A may be damaged. It can prevent things from happening.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. That is, an example of the backward tilt angle detection means 40 is configured by a sensor 41 provided on the cylinder body 8A side of the tilt cylinder 8 and a detected plate 42 provided on the piston rod 8B side of the tilt cylinder 8 and the like. ing.
When the mast 6 is tilted backward (backward tilt) by the contraction movement of the tilt cylinder 8, when the contraction movement reaches an intermediate position, the detection target 42 detects the sensor 4.

That is, the release switch 47 activates the solenoid valve 35.
Can be released from the intermediate stop state.

Accordingly, the tilt cylinder 8 can be contracted further by pulling the tilt operation lever 25 forward while pressing the release switch 47, and the mast 6 is further tilted backward (rearward tilt), and the fork 14 is tilted. , The load A being supported can be further inclined backward. At that time,
The tilting (backward tilt) after the mast 6 is performed by the tilt cylinder 8
Can automatically stop at the maximum tilt position at which the stroke end has been reached (the maximum rearward tilt angle is usually 12 °). However, by releasing the pressing operation of the release switch 47 before reaching the stroke end, any rearward tilt angle can be obtained. Can stop.

In order to return the mast 6 tilted around the mast connection shaft 7 as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 3 to the upright posture as shown by the solid line in FIG. The tilt cylinder 8 can be extended and extended by pushing the tilt operation lever 25 forward without pressing the release switch 38 to reverse the main valve 24.

As described above, the tilt angle of the mast 6 to the rear side is detected by the rear tilt angle detecting means 40, and the solenoid valve 45 is operated to stop the tilt of the mast 6 to the rear side at the intermediate position. Thus, in a normal situation, the vehicle can be stopped at a desired intermediate rearward tilt angle, and the release switch 47 can release the intermediate stop state by the solenoid valve 45, so that a large rearward tilt angle can be obtained if necessary.

As a result, the fork 14 can be maintained at an arbitrary rearward inclination angle, thereby preventing the load A from dropping. For example, a load group loaded in the load (container) A can be collapsed. It can prevent things from happening.

An intermediate rearward tilt stop function release switch 48 is interposed between the solenoid valve 45 and the relay 43. By turning off this switch, a tilt function in a general fork is enabled.

The operation of the third embodiment will be described below. Normally, the release switch 58 is in the ON state, and at this time, the solenoid valve 54 is in the non-energized (OFF) and opened (conductive) state. Therefore,
When the operator sitting on the seat 15 pulls the tilt operation lever 25 toward the front and operates the main valve 24, hydraulic oil from the pump 23 flows into the rod side of the tilt cylinder 8, and the tilt cylinder 8 is The mast 6 can be tilted rearward (rearwardly tilted) so that the load A supported by the fork 14 can be tilted rearward as shown by the phantom line in FIG.

At this time, if there is a target backward tilt angle, the intermediate backward tilt stop angle setting device 56 is set in advance. Then, when the mast 6 reaches the target backward tilt angle due to the contraction movement of the tilt cylinder 8, a detection signal from the potentiometer 50 enters the control device 55, and the solenoid valve 54 is energized by an instruction from the control device 55. On), the tilt cylinder 8 is automatically closed (closed), and the contraction movement of the tilt cylinder 8 is stopped, so that the tilt cylinder 8 can be stopped at a rearward tilt angle for tilting (rearward tilting) behind.

That is, the tilt angle of the mast 6 toward the rear side is detected by a potentiometer (rear tilt angle detecting means) 50, and the detected value of the potentiometer 50 is set in the intermediate rear tilt stop angle setting device 56 in advance.
