CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FORKLIFT

摘要

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for controlling a forklift. The apparatus and the method for controlling the forklift according to the present disclosure adjust a fork/mast inclination by referring to whether the cargo is overloaded and the forklift speeds, and particularly, when a movement direction of a cargo when the cargo slides on a fork is an outward direction, thereby preventing the cargo from falling. Further, when a degree of danger is not decreased even when a fork/mast inclination is tilted backward to the largest extent, the apparatus and the method for controlling the forklift according to the present disclosure may decrease a travelling speed of a vehicle by decreasing an output of the forklift or operating a brake, thereby remarkably decreasing the danger of the cargo falling.

主权项

1. An apparatus for controlling a forklift, comprising:
a setting unit which sets reference weight of a cargo; an input unit into which weight of an actual cargo is detected and input, and a cargo movement direction, in which the actual cargo slides and moves on a fork, is input; a determining unit which determines whether the cargo is overloaded by comparing the weight of the actual cargo with the reference weight of the cargo, and determines an inward/outward cargo movement direction; and a processing unit which gives a control command to a vehicle control unit (VCU) or a hydraulic system so that an inclination of a mast is adjusted when the determining unit determines that the cargo is overloaded and determines that the movement direction of the cargo is a direction far from a main body of the forklift.
