[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, according to the conventional pallet, the direction in which the fork can be inserted is limited by the girder, so if the insertion direction is wrong, the fork hits the girder, and the load on the pallet may collapse or the pallet may be damaged. There is a problem of doing.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide a pallet in which a fork can be freely inserted without regard to the insertion direction.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a pallet according to the present invention has an upper deck plate, a lower deck plate having the same shape as the upper deck plate, and a predetermined height connecting the central portions of the two deck plates. It is characterized by comprising a girder, wherein the width dimension from the center of the girder to the outer edge of the girder is formed smaller than the width dimension from the center to the outer edge of the upper deck plate and the lower deck plate in all directions by a predetermined size. Adopt technical means.
[0007]
According to this, a space in which a fork can be inserted from the outer edge of the spar to the outer edge of the two deck plates is formed between the two deck plates in all directions. By aligning the center of the plate, the fork can be inserted into the space regardless of the insertion direction, and the pallet can be scooped up by the left and right forks without causing the fork to collide with the spar.
[0008]
In the present invention, the contour shape of the upper and lower deck plates in plan view is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a rectangular shape or a square shape which has been frequently used in the related art. However, a configuration in which both deck plates are formed in a disk shape is adopted. For example, it is possible to make the length in which the fork can be inserted in all directions constant.
[0009]
Further, in the present invention, the outline shape of the girder in plan view is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a polygonal column shape that has been widely used in the related art. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which both deck plates are formed in a disk shape, the spar is formed in a columnar or cylindrical shape, and both deck plates and the spar are coaxially arranged in a plan view. . If the two deck plates and the spar are made concentric in plan view, the forks can be similarly inserted from all directions, and the use of a pallet configured in this way greatly improves workability.
[0010]
Of course, the girder may have a solid structure or a hollow structure. In the case of a hollow structure, a reinforcing material is provided in the hollow portion, and a weight reduction hole is formed in the wall to reduce the weight. It is also possible to set up. The shape of the girder in a side view is not limited to a shape having a uniform width dimension in the vertical direction, but may be a vertically-thin shape such as a drum shape or a vertically-thick shape such as a drum shape or a spindle shape. The shape may be a shape or a shape in which the width is repeatedly increased or decreased continuously or stepwise.
[0011]
Incidentally, assuming that the pallet is scooped up by a fork and conveyed, in the pallet according to the present invention, the predetermined dimension is set to be equal to or larger than a width dimension of a fork used to scoop up the pallet, and The height must be set to be equal to or greater than the thickness dimension of the fork used to scoop up the pallet, and by setting in this way, the lower surface of the upper deck plate, the upper surface of the lower deck plate, and the outer edge of the girder The pallet can be scooped up by inserting a fork into the space defined by.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
A pallet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 1, the pallet P of this embodiment is composed of a disc-shaped upper and lower deck plate 1 having the same upper and lower shapes, and one columnar spar 2 connecting these central portions. The upper and lower deck plates 1 and the girders 2 are arranged on the same axis C. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing an arbitrary cross section including the central axis C of the pallet P. As shown in FIG. 2, the center of the spar 2 has a predetermined height and the center of the spar 2. The width dimension from the axis C to the outer edge of the spar 2 is formed smaller than the width dimension from the central axis C, which is the center of the upper and lower deck plates 1, in all directions to the outer edge by a predetermined dimension. Here, the height dimension of the spar 2 is set to be equal to or greater than the thickness dimension of the fork F used for scooping the pallet P, and the predetermined dimension is equal to or greater than the width dimension of the fork F used for scooping the pallet P The space defined by the lower surface of the upper deck plate 1, the upper surface of the lower deck plate 1, and the outer edge of the spar 2 has such a large size that the fork F can be inserted. It is a space.
[0014]
The detailed dimensions of the upper and lower deck plates 1 and the girders 2 are appropriately designed in consideration of the size and load of the load handled by the pallet P, the shape of the fork F, the distance between the forks, and the like. The shape of the upper and lower deck plates 1 may be designed according to the shape of the luggage. When the luggage such as roll paper or tires has a cylindrical or cylindrical shape, it is formed into a disk shape as shown in FIG. In the case of a cube or a rectangular parallelepiped, it may be formed in a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. Further, the shape of the upper and lower deck plates 1 may be designed according to the form of the shelf in which the pallet P is stored together with the luggage. If the storage space of the shelf is cylindrical, as shown in FIG. When the storage space of the shelf is a cube or a rectangular parallelepiped, it may be formed in a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. Furthermore, the shape of the girder 2 is not limited to the above-mentioned cylindrical shape, but can be formed into a polygonal column shape, a drum shape, a spindle shape, and the like. It may be.
[0015]
According to the pallet P, it is possible to insert the fork F from all directions. For example, as shown in the plan view of FIG. The fork F can be inserted and scooped up, and in this case, the collapse of the load and the damage of the pallet P due to the collision of the fork F with the spar 2 are not caused. Further, in this embodiment, since the upper and lower deck plates 1 are formed concentrically with the spar 2, the pallet P can be similarly scooped from all directions. For example, in order to insert the fork F, It is possible to obtain an effect that workability is remarkably improved without requiring time and effort for changing the size.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, for example, the fork can be inserted into the pallet from any direction as long as the spar is inserted between the left and right forks, and the pallet can be scooped up. And the effect that it can be implemented safely.
