Drive for an industrial truck with steering support

摘要

A drive for an industrial truck with at least one drive motor for driving a wheel of the industrial truck and at least one steering motor for supporting a steering movement of the wheel around a steering axle also features a drawbar for guiding the steering or driving movement by applying a load on the drawbar. The drive motor also rotates upon a steering movement of the wheel, whereas the drawbar is connected in a torque-proof manner, relative to the steering axle, with a component also rotating upon a steering movement of the wheel.

主权项

1. A drive system for an industrial truck, comprising:
a drive motor mounted to a vehicle frame of the industrial truck and operably configured to provide driving movement to a drive wheel mounted on a rotatable steering axle of the industrial truck; a steering motor operably configured to provide a steering movement to the steering axle; a drawbar that controls the steering movement and driving movement responsive to a steering and driving force applied by an operator of the industrial truck to the drawbar; the drive motor rotatable relative to the vehicle frame with rotation of the steering axle upon application of the steering movement; the drawbar mechanically connected to the drive motor so as to also rotate with the drive motor upon the steering movement of the drive wheel; and a transmission that transfers rotation of the drive motor to an axle of the drive wheel, the drawbar connected to a housing of the transmission.
