Background technology
Freight container Forklift (hereinafter to be referred as Forklift) is a kind of carrying and bunching device of freight container, belongs to the walking weight-lifting equipment on certain meaning.Because of Forklift is high lifting operation, its operational security requires very high.But existing Forklift jacking system adopts lift chains mechanism, and its safe in operation relies on physical construction to guarantee, is difficult to bring into play forewarning function when operation exception, further specifies below.
Forklift jacking system shown in Figure 1A, Figure 1B comprises: door frame 6, by roller 8 up-and-down movements; Oil cylinder 7 provides the lifting power of Forklift; Suspender 9 is positioned at door frame 6; Two chains 1, separately with door frame 6 on sprocket engagement, the end of each chain 1 connects suspender 9.In this structure, Forklift lifting power is oil cylinder 7, but directly application mechanism is a chain 1; Because the motion of chain 1 directly drives the operation of suspender 9, therefore, the situation quality of chain 1 will directly influence the safety of Forklift operation.In fact, there is multiple uncontrollable factor in the Forklift operational process, is mainly two big classes:
The one, suspender or door frame operation are stuck.As: between the raceway of door frame roller, fall into foreign matter, make roller stuck in raceway, cause suspender to move; Because of maloperation, door frame collision back distortion causes the suspender operation stuck; Local deformation after the door frame long-term use causes the suspender operation stuck; In time do not change behind the slide block undue wear between door frame, cause the interference of assembly parts and door frame after rocking; Or the like.Oil cylinder upward movement by force taking place under the stuck situation of suspender or door frame operation: if will damage chain and door frame; If this moment, oil cylinder was done descending motion, suspender or door frame will get loose suddenly, thereby produce impact and break chain and cause the accident.
The 2nd, chain unbalance loading or strand bar are stressed.For example: after the client changed chain voluntarily, the elasticity of each chain was improper, differ greatly, and caused that thus chain unbalance loading or strand bar are stressed; One of them oil cylinder fault causes the chain unbalance loading; In addition, other factors also may cause the chain unbalance loading.After chain unbalance loading or strand bar stressing conditions take place, will speed up chain and damage, even break chain, so that cause the accident.
Above-mentioned safety hazard is ubiquity in the Forklift operational process, but because of can not monitoring the moving situation of elevating chain in real time, and existing Forklift can't early warning when the jacking system operation exception, thereby can not satisfy the requirement of operational security fully.
