In addition, the plurality of central grooves 16 and the central oblique grooves 12 are staggered to each other to exhibit a square shape. The plurality of connecting rods 30 are further embedded in the side orientation grooves 62, the side grooves 63 and the central groove 16, so as to fix the side base 60 and the center base 10, so that the strength of the integrated pallet 1 as a whole can be further improved.

In addition, the interior of each of the central base 10, the main base 20, and each of the side bases 60 may be hollowed out to reduce the overall weight and cost of the combined pallet 1.

Thereby, the combined pallet 1 of the present invention can easily adjust the angle of the diagonal connecting rod 40 by using the structural design of the main oblique groove 23 and the central oblique groove 12, so that the combined pallet 1 can be adjusted to different sizes. Size, this further with the diagram is as follows:

Referring to FIG. 5 again, in the present embodiment, the overall length L1 of the combined pallet 1 (ie, the distance between the two main pedestals 20 in the longitudinal direction) is the same as the overall width L2 (ie, two main bases in the lateral direction). The distance between the seat 20 and the overall width L2 is 1100 cm, and the angle θ1 between the diagonal connecting rod 40 and the adjacent two connecting rods 30 is 45 degrees, and the angle θ2 is 90 degrees, the angle θ3 is 45 degrees. At this time, both ends of the oblique connecting rod 40 can be sandwiched by the main abutting portion 25 and the central abutting portion 14, respectively. As shown in Fig. 6, Fig. 7B and Fig. 8, if the overall length L1' of the pallet (e.g., the distance between the two main pedestals 20 in the longitudinal direction) is 1000 cm, and the overall width L2' (such as two in the lateral direction) When the distance between the main base 20 and the outer side is 1200 cm, the angle θ1' between the oblique connecting rod 40 and the adjacent two connecting rods 30 is 52 degrees, the angle θ2 is 90 degrees, and the angle θ3' is 38 degrees. At this time, the angle of the entire combined pallet 1 of FIG. 5 and the angle between the angle θ1 and the angle θ3 are different from the angle of the entire combined pallet 1 of FIG. 6 and the angle θ1′ and the angle θ3′, respectively, but obliquely Both ends of the connecting rod 40 may also be sandwiched by the main abutting portion 25 and the central abutting portion 14, respectively. That is to say, the central outer expansion region 13 and the central inner expansion region 15 allow one end of the oblique connecting rod 40 to be clamped by the central abutting portion 14 after changing the angle, and the other end of the oblique connecting rod 40 is also After the angle is changed in the main outer expansion region 24 and the main inner expansion region 26, it can be held by the main abutting portion 25.

The combined pallet 1 is sized so that the included angles θ1 and θ1' are 45 degrees and 52 degrees, respectively. However, in other embodiments, the overall length (L1 and L1', respectively) and the overall width (L2 and L2 respectively) L2') can also be changed according to actual use requirements. For example, when the overall length is 1100 cm and the overall width is 1200 cm, the angle θ1 between the oblique connecting rod 40 and the adjacent two connecting rods 30 is 48 degrees, and the angle θ2 is 90 degrees, the angle θ3 is 42 degrees. Or the overall length is 1000 cm, and when the overall width is 1100 cm, the angle θ1 between the oblique connecting rod 40 and the adjacent two connecting rods 30 is 49 degrees, the angle θ2 is 90 degrees, and the angle θ3 is 41 degrees. . After the combination of the different sizes of the combined pallet 1, the θ1 is 48 degrees and the 49 degrees are between 45 degrees and 52 degrees. It can be seen that the two ends of the diagonal connecting rod 40 can also be respectively received by the main abutting portion 25 and The central abutting portion 14 is clamped, and both ends of the oblique connecting rod 40 can be changed in the central outer expansion region 13, the central inner expansion region 15, and the main outer expansion region 24, and the main inner expansion region 26, respectively. And the main oblique groove 23 and the central oblique groove 12 are used to achieve the common effect of the clamping angle.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, the diagonal connecting rod 40 can be divided into the end rod section 401 located in the main inner expansion zone 26 and the middle pole section 402 located in the main outer expansion zone 24 by the main abutting portion 25 as a separation point. The diagonal connecting rod 40 can swing with the portion resisting the main abutting portion 25 as a fulcrum, so that the end rod segment 401 swings in the main inner expansion region 26 to adjust the angle, and the intermediate rod portion 402 faces the opposite end rod. The swinging direction of the segment 401 is swung, and the end of the inner curved surface 261 on the same side is inversely proportional to the projection distance of the end of the outer curved surface 241 to the corresponding oblique connecting rod 40, so that the oblique connecting rod 40 can be changed. The required angles correspond to the combined pallets 1 of different sizes.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, in the present embodiment, the distance between the two outer curved surfaces 241 is larger than the distance between the two inner curved surfaces 261, so that the end of the oblique connecting rod 40 can be made at the main end. When the inner expansion region 26 changes the required angle, the end portion of the diagonal connecting rod 40 can further resist the inner curved surface 261 in addition to the abutting surface 251 of the main abutting portion 25, thereby increasing the oblique connection. The abutting area of the end of the rod 40 increases the positioning strength. In some embodiments, each outer curved surface 241 may also have the same curvature as each inner curved surface 261 (that is, the curved curvature of the outer curved surface 241 and the inner curved surface 261 is the same as the shape of the central oblique groove 12). The oblique connecting rod 40 can be placed against the abutting surface 251 of the main abutting portion 25 after adjusting the angle, and can also abut against the outer curved surface 241 and the inner curved surface 261 to further improve the positioning strength.

In summary, the diagonal connecting rod can be adjusted at different angles from the design of the main oblique groove and the central oblique groove, so that the main base and the central base can be fixed by connecting rods of different lengths. The distance between the main base and the central base can be adjusted, so that the combined pallet can be adjusted in both the horizontal and vertical directions, and can be freely combined and changed according to actual use requirements. Based on this, no matter what size of the combined pallet, when the main base or the central base is damaged by the collision, the new main base or the central base can be replaced without the entire group, which can greatly reduce the cost. And improve the usage of the combined pallet.
