Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a battery stand for supporting a battery mounted in a reach type forklift truck when the battery is taken in and out.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a reach type forklift, a battery 2 is usually mounted at the base of a reach leg 1 as shown in FIG. When it is desired to inspect or replace the battery 2, the hook 6 at the front end of the battery stand 5 as shown in FIG. 7 is inserted into the engagement hole 4 provided in the frame 3 to position the battery stand 5. In this state, the battery 2 was pulled out from the forklift onto the battery stand 5 for inspection or replacement.

In addition, after the height of the battery stand 5 is determined in advance so that the battery stand 5 becomes horizontal when the hook 6 at the front end is inserted into the engaging hole 4 of the frame 3 of the forklift truck. Legs 7 are provided.
On the other hand, a front leg 8 shorter than the rear leg 7 is provided at the front portion of the battery stand 5 so as to support the battery stand 5 by landing if the hook 6 comes off the engagement hole 4 of the frame 3. There is.

[0004]

However, the tire 9 of the forklift is worn or the rear end of the battery stand 5 becomes higher than the front end as shown in FIG. 7 depending on the condition of the road surface. Since the battery 2 has a large weight, in this case, it is difficult to pull out the battery 2 from the forklift to the battery stand 5. On the other hand, depending on the condition of the road surface, the front end of the battery stand 5 having the hook 6 may be higher than the rear end, as shown in FIG. In this case, it becomes difficult to push the battery 2 pulled out on the battery stand 5 back to the forklift.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a battery stand for a reach-type forklift that allows the battery to be easily taken in and out regardless of tire wear and road surface conditions. The purpose is to do.

[0006]

A battery stand of a reach type forklift according to the present invention is a stand body on which a battery is mounted and a stand body attached to a front end portion of the stand body and engaged with a frame of the forklift. It is provided with a hook for positioning the front end portion, and a rear leg that is provided on the rear portion of the stand main body and whose height is adjustable.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Embodiment 1. FIG. 1 shows a battery stand of a reach type forklift according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. A plurality of rollers 12 are rotatably provided inside a stand bracket 11 formed in a rectangular frame shape including a pair of long sides and a pair of short sides. These rollers 12
Is arranged parallel to the short side of the stand bracket 11,
Stand bracket 1 supporting a battery (not shown)
The stand main body of the present invention is formed by the stand bracket 11 and the plurality of rollers 12.

A pair of hooks 13 are attached to the front end of the stand bracket 11. These hooks 13
Is for positioning the front end of the stand bracket 11 by being inserted into an engagement hole formed in the frame of the forklift.

Further, elongated plate-like rear leg guides 14 are fixed to the rear portions of the pair of long sides of the stand bracket 11 so as to protrude downward, and the rear leg guides 14 are respectively provided with rectangular tubular rear legs 15. It is detachably attached. A plurality of through holes 16 are formed in the rear leg guide 14 along the length direction thereof, that is, at positions having different heights, while the rear leg 15 penetrates the rectangular tube at a predetermined height position. The hole 17 is formed. Rear leg guide 14 in rear leg 15
Through the through hole 17 of the rear leg 15 and the rear leg guide 14
The rear leg 15 is fixed to the rear leg guide 14 by inserting the stopper 18 into the through hole 16. At this time, an arbitrary through hole 16 is selected from the plurality of through holes 16 of the rear leg guide 14.
By selecting and inserting the stopper 18, the rear leg 1
The height of 5 can be adjusted.

Front legs 19 bent in a U shape are attached to front portions of a pair of long sides of the stand bracket 11. The front legs 19 are for supporting the battery stand and the battery mounted thereon by landing if the hook 13 inserted into the engagement hole of the frame of the forklift should come off the engagement hole. When the hook 13 is inserted into the engaging hole of the above, it is formed so short that it does not come into contact with the ground. This is because it is difficult to insert the hook 13 into the engagement hole of the forklift if the front leg 19 is long enough to contact the ground in a normal use state.

When the battery stand constructed as described above is used, first, the hook 13 is inserted into the engaging hole 4 formed in the frame 3 of the forklift as shown in FIG. By stand bracket 1
After positioning the front end of 1, stand bracket 11
The through hole 16 of the rear leg guide 14 is selected so that is horizontal, and the left and right rear legs 15 are fixed to the rear leg guide 14 by the stoppers 18, respectively. That is, depending on the wear of the tires of the forklift and the condition of the road surface, the stand bracket 11
If the front end of the lower part is lower than the rear end, the rear leg guide 1
When the front leg of the stand bracket 11 is raised higher than the rear end, the rear leg 15 is fixed lower by using the through hole 16 located at the upper part of the rear leg guide 14. By using the hole 16 to fix the rear leg 15 high, the stand bracket 11 can be held horizontally.

In this state, the battery is pulled out from the forklift onto the roller 12 for inspection or replacement.
At this time, since the stand bracket 11 is held horizontally and the rollers 12 are rotatably provided,
A heavy battery can be easily pulled out of and pushed back into the forklift.

Embodiment 2 FIG. In the battery stand shown in FIG. 1, the left and right rear legs 15 are respectively provided with separate stoppers 18.
However, it is also possible to fix the left and right rear legs 15 at once by using one long stopper 20, as shown in FIG. Left and right rear legs 15 with common stopper 20
Since it is fixed, the height can be adjusted more easily without making a mistake in the left and right heights.

Embodiment 3 FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, rectangular tube-shaped rear leg guides 21 are attached to the left and right long sides of the stand bracket 11, and U-shaped plate-shaped rear legs 22 are inserted into these rear leg guides 21. It can also be fixed by a common stopper 20. Each rear leg guide 21 is formed with a pair of through holes 23 penetrating the rectangular tube, and the rear legs 22 are formed with a plurality of through holes 24 at different height positions. The height of the rear leg 22 is adjusted by selecting an arbitrary through hole 24 from the plurality of through holes 24 of the rear leg 22 and penetrating the stopper 20. Hind legs 22
Since it is bent into a U shape and is integrally formed on the left and right,
The strength of the battery stand is improved and the left and right heights are easily adjusted.

Embodiment 4 FIG. 4 shows the rear leg of the fourth embodiment. Pipe-shaped rear leg guides 25 having female threads formed on their inner peripheral surfaces are vertically attached to the left and right long sides of the stand bracket 11, and rear legs 26 are inserted into the rear leg guides 25. As shown in FIG. 5, the rear leg 26 has a rod 27 having an external thread formed on its outer peripheral surface.
And a disc-shaped grounding portion 28 integrally formed at the lower end of the rod 27, and the male screw of the rod 27 is screwed into the female screw of the rear leg guide 25. The upper end portion of the rod 27 projects above the rear leg guide 25, and the handle 29 is fixed thereto by the nut 30. Handle 2
By rotating the rear leg 26 about its axis while holding the rod 9, the rod 27 advances and retracts in the axial direction with respect to the rear leg guide 25, and the height of the rear leg 26 is adjusted. By using the rear leg guide 25 and the rear leg 26, the height can be easily adjusted only by turning the handle 29 without manually supporting the battery stand. Also, since the screwing of male and female screws is used, the height can be adjusted steplessly.
Fine adjustment becomes easy.
