The drive system of Pedestrianism Electric Pallet Truck is the core component of the equipment. It drives the pallet truck to move by electricity to realize the handling of goods. Its working principle combines the synergy of components such as motors, batteries, controllers, drive wheels and braking systems to provide operators with efficient and convenient operation experience. The following will introduce the working principle of the drive system of pedestrian electric pallet trucks in detail, and explain the operation mechanism of the equipment from the functions of each component and their mutual cooperation.
1. The drive system of pedestrian electric pallet trucks relies on batteries as a power source, usually lithium batteries or lead-acid batteries. Among them, lithium batteries have gradually become the mainstream of the market due to their high energy density, fast charging speed and long life. The main task of the battery is to provide continuous and stable power output for the entire drive system to ensure that the equipment will not be affected by insufficient power during long-term operation.
The battery transmits direct current to the motor, converts electrical energy into mechanical energy through the motor, drives the wheels of the pallet truck to rotate, thereby realizing the basic functions of the equipment such as forward and backward.
2. The motor drives the pallet truck forward
The motor is the core driving component of the pedestrian electric pallet truck. It generates driving force based on the power provided by the battery. Generally, there are two types of motors: DC motors and AC motors. DC motors are more common in low-end and mid-range equipment, while AC motors are more efficient and run more smoothly, suitable for high-end pallet trucks.
When the operator issues a start command through the control handle, the controller transmits the signal to the motor, the motor starts working, and the drive wheel rotates accordingly. The speed of the motor is adjusted according to the load of the pallet truck and the ground conditions, so that the truck moves at an appropriate speed.
3. The controller adjusts the output of the motor
The controller is the "brain" of the entire drive system. It is responsible for managing and adjusting the working state of the motor. The operator issues instructions through the buttons or knobs on the handle, and the controller adjusts the speed and direction of the motor according to the instructions to realize the forward, backward and steering operations of the equipment.
The controller can adjust the speed of the motor and monitor the operating status of the equipment, such as battery power, load status, etc. When the equipment is under high load or the battery is low, the controller will automatically limit the output of the motor to prevent the equipment from malfunctioning due to overload. In addition, the controller also has a fault detection function. Once the system detects an abnormality, it will promptly alarm or stop the equipment to ensure the safety of the operator.
4. Drive wheels enable the movement of the equipment
The drive wheel is the part where the motor contacts the ground. Through the rotation of the motor, the drive wheel converts electrical energy into the driving power of the equipment. Walk-behind electric pallet trucks are usually equipped with two or four drive wheels, and the drive wheels are made of wear-resistant materials such as rubber or polyurethane to ensure good friction and durability under various ground conditions.
When the motor rotates, the drive wheel rotates to push the pallet truck forward or backward. At the same time, the controller adjusts the speed and direction of the motor so that the drive wheel can rotate flexibly, thereby realizing the steering operation of the equipment. This flexibility enables the pallet truck to operate easily in a small space, which is particularly suitable for working environments that require frequent steering in warehouses or production workshops.
5. Braking system ensures safety
Walking electric pallet trucks are equipped with a braking system, usually electromagnetic braking or mechanical braking. When the operator releases the handle or presses the brake button, the controller immediately sends a signal to the braking system, the brake quickly starts, stops the operation of the motor, and locks the drive wheel to ensure that the equipment stops in a short time. This is especially important for equipment on slopes and with heavy loads, and can effectively prevent sliding and accidents.
6. Intelligent monitoring and energy management
The drive system of modern pedestrian electric pallet trucks usually has intelligent energy management functions, which realizes efficient energy distribution through the comprehensive control of the battery, motor and braking system by the controller. When the equipment is in an unloaded state, the controller will automatically reduce the power output of the motor, reduce unnecessary energy consumption, and thus extend the battery life.
