Forklift Power Part Analysis, Understand How The Forklift Engine Works

First：Overview

Forklift is a widely used industrial vehicle, its main role is to carry out cargo transport and stacking. The power system of the forklift is its core component, which provides the power and mobility of the forklift. The power system of forklift truck is composed of engine, transmission system, driving wheel and so on.

Second：the working principle of forklift engine

The engine of a forklift truck usually uses an internal combustion engine, which converts chemical energy into mechanical energy through internal combustion. The working principle of the engine is: after mixing air and fuel, ignition detonates the mixture, so that it burns to produce high temperature and high pressure gas, and converts the gas into mechanical energy through the up and down reciprocating movement of the piston.

Third,Introduction of key components

1. Engine block

The engine's cylinder block is made of materials such as cast iron or aluminum alloy, and its main role is to provide space to accommodate the piston and form a water-cooling cycle.

2. Piston

The piston is the key component inside the engine, which converts the heat energy of the gas into mechanical energy through the up and down reciprocating motion, and converts the chemical energy of the engine combustion into power.

3. Valves and intakes

The valve and inlet of the engine are the inlet where the air and fuel are mixed, and the power and efficiency of the engine have a lot to do with the design of the inlet.

4. Fuel system

The fuel system is composed of oil pump, fuel injection nozzle, fuel tank and other components, its main role is to transport fuel to the engine and spray above the piston, mixed with air combustion.

5. Cooling system

The forklift engine will generate a lot of heat when working, and if it cannot be eliminated in time, it will cause serious damage to the engine. Therefore, the cooling system is an important part of the engine, which reduces the temperature by circulating water.

Conclusion

The power part of a forklift is one of the most important and complex parts. The engine is the core component of the whole power system, and the performance and reliability of forklift trucks have a lot to do with it. Through the introduction of this article, I believe you have a deeper understanding of the power system of forklift trucks.
