Types and composition of steering systems for electric forklifts
The steering system of electric forklifts is divided into two categories based on the energy used for steering: mechanical steering system (also known as manual steering system) and power steering system. The mechanical steering system relies entirely on the driver's physical energy to manipulate the steering and overcome the steering resistance moment; In the power steering system, the energy consumed to overcome the steering resistance moment is provided by the prime mover, and the driver manipulates the system to control the steering.
According to the different working principles of the steering system, the steering system can be divided into three categories: mechanical steering, power assisted steering (mechanical steering with power assisted device), and fully hydraulic power steering.
If the steering system of electric forklifts varies according to the number of steering wheels, it can be divided into various methods such as single wheel deflection, double wheel deflection, and all wheel deflection. Among them, the dual wheel deflection steering system is the most widely used. The components of a dual wheel deflection mechanical steering system can be summarized into two parts: one is the steering component, which mainly includes the steering wheel, steering shaft, and steering gear. The steering gear is a special deceleration transmission device used to amplify the control torque acting on the steering wheel and then transmit it to the steering wheel. It is the main component in the mechanical steering system that ensures lightweight steering; The steering wheel is a control component, and the steering shaft is the transmission shaft from the steering wheel to the steering gear. If the three are on the same axis, they can be assembled as a whole, called the steering gear assembly; If required by the general layout of the vehicle, the steering wheel and steering gear may not be on the same axis (the axes intersect or parallel), and they are connected by the steering shaft and universal joint; The second is the steering transmission mechanism, which is a set of spatial transmission rods, including the steering pitman arm, longitudinal link, steering knuckle arm, and single trapezoidal mechanism or sector plate and double trapezoidal mechanism. It transmits the amplified control torque to the left and right steering knuckles, causing the steering wheels to deflect. In the dual wheel deflection power steering system, the components of the mechanical steering system are basically retained, while the power steering movement is inserted to keep the length of the tie rod unchanged. The ball joint seat and torsion spring are blocked by the screw plug to prevent them from falling out.
Electric forklift
There are various types of steering for electric forklifts and electric tractors. Small vehicles usually adopt simple mechanical manual steering systems, such as 0.4t and 0.5t electric forklifts and small tonnage tractors; For electric forklifts weighing over 1 ton, such as CPD1.5, CPD2, CPD3, etc., power steering systems are generally used.

New energy forklift power system controllerIn the electric forklift power unit, when the forward contactor is closed, the motor is in a forward rotation state; Whereas, when the reverse contactor is closed, the motor is reversed. By changing the direction of the armature current or excitation current, or by changing the polarity of the excitation winding, the commutation control of the motor is realized. However, the use of two sets of excitation windings with opposite windings will lead to a complex structure and an increase in the volume of the motor, so the first two methods are more commonly used in practicalDo you like ?0

Electric forklifts vs. internal combustion forkliftsHowever, there are also some drawbacks to internal combustion forklifts. First of all, diesel engines are more expensive to run, especially against the backdrop of the current surge in oil prices. Secondly, the internal combustion forklift is noisy and vibrate, and the operating noise of the diesel engine has an irreversible impact on the human body. In addition, the exhaust gas pollution is serious, even if the processor is installed, it will cause environmental pollution, and it is necessary to clean up the dust regularly, which is more cumbersome to maintain, and can easily lead to oil pollution problems on the site.Do you like ?0
