Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a top panel structure of an industrial vehicle such as a forklift truck equipped with a battery.

Conventionally, in this type of forklift, as shown in FIG. 1, a top panel 50 covers the top and front surface of the battery 54, so as to cover the battery 54 mounted approximately in the center of the vehicle body from above. The upper surface portion 51 and the portions 52 covering both sides of the battery 54 are integrally formed, and the driver's seat 53 is attached to the upper surface portion 51.

However, with this structure, when inspecting the battery 54, the entire top panel 50 along with the driver's seat 53 must be opened at an angle of 01 or more, and when replacing the battery 54, the battery 54 must be lifted up via the wire 55. In order to move the entire top panel 50 in the lateral direction (in the direction of the vehicle floor), the entire top panel 50 and the driver's seat 53 are moved at an angle θ2! I had to open it.

For this reason, the structure of the top panel 50 is heavy as a whole, requiring a great deal of effort to open and close it, and also requires a large angular opening of the top panel 50 from a structural standpoint. In order to reduce the opening/closing work described above, the driver's seat 53 must be raised up from the upper surface 51 of the top panel 50, making the structure more complicated. There were problems such as the need to increase the stiffness and stiffness.

This invention solves the above problems all at once, and provides a structure in which the top panel is divided into an upper panel, a front panel, and a side panel, and each panel can be attached and removed.

Hereinafter, this invention will be explained based on the embodiment shown in the drawings. Figures 2 to 4 show the first embodiment of this invention, where 1 is a top panel;
is divided into an upper panel 2, a side panel 3.3, and a front panel 4, which cover the top surface, side buttons, and front surface of the battery 13, respectively.

The rear end of the upper panel 10 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body is pivotally supported by a counterweight 5 forming a part of the vehicle body via a hinge 6, and can be opened and closed from the front side of the upper panel 2.

Note that 7 is a frame and 8 is a floorboard.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a head guard support post erected on the counterweight 5, and a locking member 10 with a hook 11 engaged is fixed to this support post 9.

A strap 12 for opening and closing the upper panel 2 is fixed to the upper surface of the upper panel 2.
When the upper panel 2 is opened and stood up, the hook 11 is engaged with the strap 12 to hold the upper panel 2 in the upright state.

When replacing the battery 13, the upper panel 2 is opened, the hook 11 is engaged with the strap 12, the battery 13 is held up almost vertically, and then the battery 13 is lifted up via the wire 14.

In this way, the upper panel 2 of the top panel 1 is separate from the other panels 3.4 and can be opened and closed, so compared to the conventional top panel 50 that is integrated, it is lighter and only one person can open and close it. When inspecting or replacing a broken battery 13, since the upper panel 2 is a substantially flat surface, it is only necessary to open it with a nearly vertical twist, and there is no need to open it 180 degrees as in the conventional case. Since there are no holes, it is structurally simple and has excellent workability.

5 to 7 are explanatory diagrams of a structure in which the upper panel 2 is pivotally supported on a counterweight 5 so that it can be opened and closed, and the side panels 3, 3 and the front panel 4 are respectively detachable from the vehicle body.

That is, the support 20 is fixed to the frame 7 at the front part of the top panel 1, and the bracket 21 is fixed to this.

Then, attach the fixing piece 22 to the inner surface of the front panel 4,
The fixing piece 22 is fixed to the bracket 21 with bolts 23, and the front panel 4 is assembled.

An L-shaped receiving member 24.2 is attached to the side of the bracket 21.
4 is fixed, and a rubber receiver 25 for supporting the upper panel 2 is provided on the upper part.

Furthermore, a receiving member 27.27 is provided protruding from the counterweight 5, and a positioning plate 26 is provided on the upper receiving member 27.
will be established.

A groove-like drip 32 is formed on the front and rear portions of the inner surface of the side panel 3, projecting downward hooks 29, 29 and 28, 28, and protruding inward at the upper portion thereof.

The drip 32 is placed on both the left and right sides of the upper panel 2.
A flange 30 is formed which engages with the flange 30 .

31 is a strap provided on the side panel 3.

When assembling top panel 1, support 20
After fixing the bracket 21 to and fixing the front panel 4 via the fixing piece 22, hold the strap 31 of the side panel 3 with one hand, and while holding the bottom surface of the side panel 3 with the other hand, tighten the hooks 29, 29 and Hook 28.28
, the receiving member 24.24 and the receiving member 27.27, respectively.
Fix the hook.

The side panel 3 on the other side is also fixed in the same manner.

Next, when the upper panel 2 is fixed to the counterweight 5 via the hinge 6 and closed, the flange 30 enters into the drip 32, and the upper panel 2 is supported by both side panels 3.3.

Note that the hooks 28, 29 and the receiving members 24, 27 are fixed by using a single-shaped pin and a hook-shaped hook, but this structure can be fixed using a wedge-shaped receiving member and hooks with tapered hooking surfaces, etc. You can take measures.

As mentioned above, this idea covers the battery mounted approximately in the center of the vehicle from above, and includes a top panel with a driver's seat on the top, an upper panel that covers the top of the battery, a side panel, and a top panel that covers the top of the battery. The upper panel can be easily opened and closed because it is divided into a front panel and each panel can be opened, closed, or detached.As a result, battery inspection and replacement work can be done easily and quickly, and many other benefits. It has a certain effect.
