Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plastic pallet.
  • a plastic pallet comprises a deck for storing objects to be transported, in particular goods. It also comprises feet, which are formed projecting from an underside of the deck and runners, which are each formed at least two feet on the undersides connecting to each other.
  • Plastic pallets are mainly used for the transport of goods within a company or between different factories and for the display of goods in sales rooms.
  • They can be injection molded from polymers, regenerated plastics, or mixtures thereof, with the possibility of using additives such as reinforcing fibers.
  • the deck can have a continuous, essentially closed loading area, but the loading area can also be formed by a grid or ribbed structure. The latter is particularly advantageous during transport or storage of goods to be cooled, since the cargo can then be cooled from below.
  • feet are formed projecting down. They are mainly used to facilitate transport with vehicles, such as forklifts, the fork can then retract into the spaces between the feet. At the same time, the feet must also be able to carry the weight of the pallet with the goods stored thereon, without causing material fatigue phenomena.
  • a common configuration involves nine feet at the bottom of the deck. Four feet each are placed in the corners, another four feet each in the middle of the edges. The ninth foot is usually arranged below the geometric center of gravity of the deck or the loading area. Depending on the size of the pallet, more or fewer feet may be used.
  • feet may already be sufficient if they are dimensioned correspondingly large.
  • the feet can be integrally formed on the underside of the deck and made together in an injection molding process, but they can also be made separately and then bolted to the deck, for example.
  • the material for the feet can be determined separately, for example, a material with a higher impact resistance can be selected than it has the material used for the deck.
  • plastic pallets include runners, which are each formed connecting the undersides of at least two feet together.
  • runners which are each formed connecting the undersides of at least two feet together.
  • three skids can be used, each skid connecting three feet.
  • the skids are arranged in this case parallel to each other, their longitudinal direction is usually parallel to the narrower edge of the pallet, but this is not mandatory.
  • circumferential runners or runners which connect the feet together along the longer edge of the pallet, so that, for example, six runners are used on the undersides of the feet.
  • the runners can be made in one piece with the pallet as well as the feet, but they can also be made separately and then bolted to, for example, the feet of the pallet, or glued or clipped to the feet.
  • the pallets are aligned when parked on roller conveyors so that the skids are oriented along the transport direction, chain conveyors, however, the runners are usually aligned transversely to the transport direction, the pallet with the goods stored in In this case with the runners on the chains.
  • the replacement of a whole range is usually more expensive than replacing only part of it.
  • it is proposed in the prior art for example, to manufacture the runners separately from a harder material.
  • a palette will be in the DE 10 2009 008 277 A1 described.
  • the runners are here releasably connected to the pallet body and can be solved without much effort from the pallet body as soon as a vertical force acts on the runners by pressure on the pallet from above.
  • the skids can therefore be replaced in a relatively simple manner, they are also made of a rigid material than the pallet body, such as polypropylene with glass fiber shares.
  • the production of a pallet with separate skids is more complex, since several forms must be kept, so that the production is associated with higher costs.
  • different material mixtures must be maintained.
  • Another way to increase the stability of the runners is to provide metal reinforcements in the runners. This is the case, for example, with Applicant's CPP 726-M model, where the metal reinforcements are used to increase the payload.
  • the pallet is made of several parts, the metal reinforcements are bolted to the skids and not visible from the outside.
  • the change of metal reinforcement is very complex in this range, as is recycling, for which the metal reinforcement of the remaining pallet must be separated.
  • the metal reinforcement increases the stiffness of the blade, it does not prevent the above-described wear during transport on roller or chain conveyors.
  • a pallet with high dimensional stability and carrying capacity is described.
  • the pallet is made of plastic and has individual feet on the underside. Fastened to these feet in correspondingly arranged grooves foot rails made of sheet steel, which connect in series feet.
  • the foot rails have a U-shaped profile in cross section, on which spring elements are formed for frictional connection with the pallet in the grooves. They close flush with the underside of the feet when inserted.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to further develop a plastic pallet of the type described above in such a way that the deflection of the runners and their wear is reduced.
  • a plastic pallet of the type described above in that at least one of the runners at least one running in the longitudinal direction of the runner, groove-shaped recess is formed on the underside, wherein in the at least one recess, a stiffening element of a material having a higher modulus than that of the material from which the runners are formed.
  • the stiffening element is fixed in the recess via fixing means.
  • the stiffening element may for example be shaped rod-shaped with a round or polygonal cross-section, which fills at least part of the groove in the longitudinal direction of the blade. For reasons of symmetry and stability, however, it is advantageous to completely fill the groove in a region which is preferably located between the outer edges of two opposite corner feet of the pallet, ie along the entire runner.
  • the groove may be continuous and open at the ends, but it may also be completed in the longitudinal direction, so that the stiffening element is held in the longitudinal direction of the groove in a form-fitting manner in the runner. If the runner extends over an area of more than two feet, for example over three feet, in principle a plurality of reinforcing elements can also be arranged behind one another in the same or in different grooves, each reinforcing element covering an area between two feet.
  • stiffening elements When using a material with a correspondingly high modulus of elasticity of the material used can be reduced, in this case, for example, flatter, band-shaped stiffening elements are used.
  • the arrangement of several stiffening elements in mutually parallel grooves on a runner is a possible variant, as is the formation of a groove occupying the entire width of the runner.
  • stiffening elements are preferably formed in each of the runners, with several runners perpendicular to each other, there are at least those runners that are parallel in one direction, but if necessary, all runners can be provided with stiffening elements, so that the orientation of the pallet on roller or chain conveyors in this case no longer plays a role.
  • the fixing means for fixing the stiffening element in the recess may for example comprise screws with which the stiffening element is screwed into the groove, so that it can not fall down.
  • the fixing means additionally or alternatively therefore comprise at least one lug which partially covers the at least one recess and fixes the reinforcing element in a form-fitting manner in the recess.
  • a nose may be formed for example in the form of a circular arc at the edge of the recess, parallel to the base or standing surface of the blade, it protrudes partially over the recess and prevents falling out of the stiffening element.
  • the lugs can be provided with a certain elasticity, which makes it possible to remove the stiffening element, for example by hand with the help of a screwdriver by overcoming the force exerted by the nasal force due to the leverage of attaching to the edge of the groove screwdriver. Compared to a screw this allows a faster change of such a stiffening element, should this be necessary, also the mechanical stresses in the case of a deflection are lower than in the screw.
  • the deflection already with the rod or band-shaped stiffening element - the thickness of the band in a band-shaped design is usually several millimeters - already reduce or almost completely prevent with correspondingly thick stiffening elements.
  • the stiffening elements are, for example, metal ones, the mass of the overall pallet may be increased to a significant extent if the stiffening elements are too thick.
  • too thin stiffening elements may not sufficiently prevent sagging and thus faster wear.

An over the stabilization element in the recording available game beyond deflection is prevented by the walls of the recording.
  • the stabilizing element is formed projecting at a predetermined angle of the stiffening element and connected to the stiffening element angle stable.
  • the latter means that the connection between the stiffening element and stabilizing element is designed to be stable, that it counteracts a change in the angle between stabilizing element and stiffening element when the stabilizing element engages the receptacle on the foot and the stiffening element during transport, for example on a chain conveyor through on the pallet lying product is so heavily loaded that it bends. In this way, the deflection at the ends of the stiffening element can be reduced even more.
  • This angular stability is determined on the one hand by the selection of appropriate materials and dependent on the thickness of the stiffening element and the dimensions of the compound.
