Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an operating condition setting device for an industrial vehicle, and more particularly, to a device capable of easily changing various settings such as a maximum speed, a cargo handling speed or an assist torque of the vehicle according to a driver.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, microcomputers have been used in industrial vehicles for traveling control, cargo handling control, power steering control, and the like. In addition, recently, in order to meet various user needs, it is possible to adjust the maximum speed of the industrial vehicle, the cargo handling speed (for example, the lift speed of the lift), etc. so that the driver can set the desired speed. Has been done.

More specifically, it is performed by changing the setting value of the rotary switch on the microcomputer board which is a control device or by adjusting a plurality of adjusting volumes arranged near the driver's seat. Be seen.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the former method, the rotary switch usually has to be adjusted after removing the front hood of the industrial vehicle, which requires a lot of troublesome work. In addition, a special tool is often required for removing the front hood, setting the rotary switch, etc., and there is also the problem that adjustment is not easy.

On the other hand, in the latter method, the above-mentioned problems are solved, but in the case of industrial vehicles, unlike ordinary passenger cars, many drivers take turns a day to ride. Therefore, there is a problem in that it is extremely troublesome to set a plurality of adjusting volumes each time according to the driver's preference.

The present invention has been devised in view of such problems, and an object thereof is to easily set various settings such as the maximum speed, steering force, or cargo handling speed of an industrial vehicle according to a driver. To provide a device that can be changed to.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention relates to an industrial vehicle capable of adjusting operating state set values such as maximum speed, cargo handling speed, or assist torque of power steering, and an ID card in which these operating state set values are stored in advance, and the ID card is stored in the ID card. An ID card reader that reads the stored operating state set value, a storage unit that stores the operating state set value read by the ID card reader, a traveling motor, a cargo handling motor, etc. based on the operating state set value. The above-mentioned problem is solved by a configuration including a control unit that controls the controlled object part of.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a reach type forklift (hereinafter, simply referred to as a forklift) 1 is shown as an example of an industrial vehicle, but other than this, it may be applied to a counterbalance type forklift or an industrial vehicle such as a low lift. Needless to say.

The forklift 1 rotatably supports a road wheel 6 on each of a main body 2 and left and right straddle arms 5 projecting from the main body 2, and a steering wheel 8 is used to steer the main body 2. With a possible drive wheel 7. Although not shown, a power steering device is provided to reduce the operating force of the steering wheel 8.

The straddle arm 5 is provided with a mast 3 that can slide forward and backward and is capable of moving up and down by a lift cylinder to lock a cargo handling tool 4 such as a fork or various attachments. Is driven by a cargo handling motor (not shown).

In the instrument panel portion of the main body portion 2, there are provided various cargo handling operation levers 10 for operating a cargo handling tool, and an accelerator lever 9 for outputting a drive signal to a traveling motor (not shown) for rotationally driving a drive wheel. It is provided and includes a battery B.

An ID card reader 17 is installed in the instrument panel portion of the main body 2. Further, the ID card reader 17 can be transmitted to a storage unit described later by passing an ID card (not shown in FIG. 1) in which the driver's favorite driving state setting value is magnetically stored in advance. Is configured. Therefore, it is sufficient for each driver to have an ID card in which a desired set value is stored.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the present invention. The present invention provides an input unit 20 including the ID card 16 and the ID card reader 17, and a control unit for controlling the control target unit 19 based on a signal indicating a predetermined operation state sent from the input unit 20. 11 and a storage unit 12 capable of storing and holding the operating state set value from the input unit 20. Further, an operation signal from the operation unit 18 is input to the control unit 11.

The operation signals include the accelerator lever 9, the cargo handling lever 10, the steering wheel 8 and the like described above, and the controlled object portion 19 includes the traveling motor 13, the cargo handling motor 14, and the power handling motor 14. The steering motor 15 may be used, but the present invention is not limited to this.

The operation of the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In this example, the maximum speed, the cargo handling speed, and the assist torque will be described as examples of the operating state set values.

First, when the ID card 16 is inserted into the ID card reader 17, the operating speed set values of the maximum speed, the cargo handling speed, and the assist torque stored in the ID card 16 are stored in the storage unit 12 (S1). .

Next, the operating state set values of the initial value or the maximum speed, cargo handling speed, and assist torque set by the previous driver are rewritten to the latest values (S2 to S4), and thereafter, these operating state settings are made. The controlled object unit 19 is controlled by the value and the input signal from the operation unit 18.

Although described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be modified into various modes.

[0019]

[Effect of device]

 As a result of adopting the above configuration, the present invention can easily change the set values for setting various operating states such as the maximum speed, steering force, or cargo handling speed of the industrial vehicle according to the driver's preference. The driving operability of the vehicle can be improved.
