Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing an industrial vehicle in which an industrial device can be reliably prevented from turning in a near direction beyond a restricted position. The solution is an industrial vehicle provided with an industrial device configured so as to be capable of turning about a joint in a near direction or an away direction, and a control device for restricting the turning of the industrial device so that the industrial device does not turn in the near direction beyond a restricted position, wherein the control device is configured such that an offset position is set in the away direction beyond the restricted position, and the control device initiates an action that stops the industrial device from turning in the near direction when the industrial device, which is turning in the near direction, has turned to the offset position.

Claims (15)

1. An industrial vehicle comprising:

a working device equipped with an attachment and rotatable toward an approaching side and a separating side centering around a joint;

a control device restricting rotation of the working device toward the approaching side from a restriction position,

an engine; and

a hydraulic circuit which has a hydraulic pump driven with the engine as a power source, rotates the working device by supplying pressure oil from the hydraulic pump to the working device, and stops the rotation of the working device by stopping the supply of the pressure oil from the hydraulic pump to the working device,

characterized in that

the control device is configured so that an offset position is set at the separating side from the restriction position,

when the working device rotating toward the approaching side reaches the offset position, an operation stopping the rotation of the working device toward the approaching side is started, and

the control device performs correction that the offset position is shifted to the approaching side or the separating side based on an angle speed at the time of rotation of the working device, a temperature of the pressure oil and/or a rotation speed of the engine.

2. The industrial vehicle according to claim 1 ,

wherein the control device is configured so that a restriction range is set at the separating side from the restriction position and the rotation of the working device is restricted so as not to rotate the working device toward the approaching side when the rotation of the working device is stopped in the restriction range.

3. The industrial vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the control device restricts the rotation of the working device so as not to rotate the working device toward the approaching side when the angle speed at the time of rotation of the working device is not more than a predetermined speed in the restriction range.

4. The industrial vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the control device restricts the rotation of the working device so as not to rotate the working device toward the approaching side when a drop amount of rotation speed of the engine per unit time is not less than a predetermined amount in the restriction range.

5. The industrial vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the control device performs correction of narrowing the restriction range to the approaching side or correction of expanding the restriction range to the separating side based on the rotation speed of the engine.

6. The industrial vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein in the state in which the rotation of the working device is restricted so as not to rotate the working device toward the approaching side, when an engine key switch is turned OFF while communication abnormality is detected, the control device releases the state of restricting the rotation of the working device toward the approaching side.
