Description

Combined pallet structure

The novel relates to a pallet structure, in particular to a pallet structure formed by combining linear production.

The pallet is an auxiliary carrier for common warehousing logistics. It can be used to carry or stack goods with the use of the stacker. The most common pallet is a wooden pallet, which is nailed with several wooden boards to form a single-sided or The structure of the article on both sides. However, wooden pallets have several innate problems. First, the cost of the board is not low. Although it can be reused, the impact resistance and moisture resistance are not good, and the weight is heavy, and the cost for transportation is greatly increased.

In addition to the common wooden pallets, there are also developed pallets of different materials, such as metal pallets, corrugated pallets, plastic pallets, or composite gluing pallets, but not overweight, manufacturing costs. Too high, otherwise the reuse rate is too low, and it is difficult to completely replace the wooden pallet at present.

Among them, the potential of plastic pallets is relatively large, because the cost of plastic materials is relatively low compared to other materials, and the plasticity is large, easy to clean, light weight, and moisture-proof; therefore, it is the most important substitute material. However, the biggest problem currently existed in plastic pallets is that in order to achieve sufficient strength to form a pallet, the plastic pallet is more complicated in structural design to compensate for the rigidity of the material itself; and the general plastic uses injection molding, which is complicated. The structural design is also associated with high cost of mold development, high cost of injection (manufacturing), and high time. To universally apply and replace traditional wooden pallets.

In order to solve the above problems, it is urgent to propose a new pallet structure to replace the existing wooden pallets and overcome the related problems.

In view of this, the present invention proposes a combined pallet structure that can solve the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, can be manufactured by a linear production process, and can greatly reduce manufacturing and production costs.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a combined pallet structure which is simple in structure, light in weight and high in specific strength, and can replace a pallet having various materials.

According to the combined pallet structure disclosed in the present invention, the bottom plate and the panel are both linearly produced, and can be manufactured in a simple and inexpensive manner such as extrusion, extrusion, and extraction. The panel has a plurality of reinforcing ribs and is joined in such a manner that the reinforcing ribs are substantially perpendicular to each other to form a combined pallet structure.

According to another embodiment of the combined pallet structure disclosed in the present invention, a single structure of the panel may be used as a main body, and the panel is also a linearly produced structure, and the reinforcing ribs at the bottom are directly joined and strengthened in a substantially vertical manner. Ribs, which can further save material costs.

On the other hand, in order to reinforce the strength of the pallet structure, a reinforcing member may be added on the side of the reinforcing rib of the panel or the bottom plate, and the reinforcing member may be made of the same material or different materials, thereby reinforcing the structural weakness or increasing the strength, and being applicable. In various situations.

According to still another embodiment of the combined pallet structure disclosed in the present invention, the utility model comprises a plurality of main body columns and a plurality of horizontal columns, wherein the main body column and the horizontal column are linear production structures, and the assembly grooves are provided thereon. Can be interleaved and assembled to form a combined pallet structure, but can be large This saves the volume of the material occupied by the shipment, which in turn greatly reduces the cost of transportation.

According to the combined pallet structure disclosed in the present invention, first, referring to FIG. 1 , the combined pallet structure includes a bottom plate 10 and a panel 20, and the bottom plate 10 and the panel 20 cover are slightly flat, and the bottom surface has convex reinforcing ribs. 11, 21, and the bottom plate 10 and the panel 20 are linearly produced structures. In other words, they can be produced by extrusion, extrusion, extraction, etc., and the cross section is roughly The same shape, while the bottom plate 10 and the panel 20 have the same shape, it is only required to be produced by a single mold, and the manufacturing cost can be further reduced; however, this portion is only a preferred embodiment, and the bottom plate is not limited. 10 and panel 20 must be in the same shape and shape. The material can be plastic, paper, foamed material, polymer material, metal, or a combination of plural materials.

Next, referring to FIG. 2, the bottom plate 10 and the panel 20 are combined with each other on the side of the reinforcing ribs 11, 21, and the reinforcing ribs 11, 21 are formed at an angle, preferably in a substantially vertical state, and the manner of joining can be Various methods such as adhesive bonding, high-frequency bonding, ultrasonic bonding, thermocompression bonding, and snapping are mainly used depending on the material and the use; however, the above is merely illustrative and is not limited to such methods.

Since the production is performed in a linear manner, the reinforcing ribs 11, 21 also have a linear arrangement. For example, in the case of the panel 20, the direction parallel to the reinforcing rib 21 is a relatively weak structure, and the bottom plate 10 is also the same. Therefore, it adopts the vertical butt joint manner to form complementary structures, which mutually reinforce the weakness of the structure, and can provide the strength of the overall pallet structure. If it is made of a material such as plastic, it can also achieve sufficient strength to support the goods being loaded, and can be applied to the pallet structure. The gap between the reinforcing ribs 11 and 21 between the bottom plate 10 and the panel 20 is inserted into the claw portion of the stacker to carry the pallet; and since the bottom plate 10 and the reinforcing ribs 11, 21 of the panel 20 are substantially perpendicular to each other, The stacker can be inserted in any direction around it, which is more convenient to use. Of course, this portion is also merely an embodiment described in conjunction with the drawings, and is not intended to limit the configuration that can only be designed to be inserted in any direction.

On the other hand, the reinforcing ribs 11 and 21 can be roughly in the form of a sheet. If the structural strength is weak, the partial or all of the reinforcing ribs 11 and 21 can be changed into a square hollow structure, which can be greatly increased. Adding the structural strength of this part, it can be placed at a position where the structural strength is relatively weak, such as the load position, the insertion position of the stacker, or the edge, etc. At the same time, the square hollow structure is only for indication, and any other enhancement. The shape of the structure can be applied. Furthermore, in the foregoing embodiment, although the bottom plate 10 and the panel 20 are referred to, since the bottom plate 10 and the panel 20 have the same structure, the surface of the bottom plate 10 and the panel 20 are not limited, that is, both the bottom plate 10 and the panel 20 can be used. It can be used for carrying and the other side can be placed on the ground for use.

On the other hand, please refer to Figures 3 and 4, and a through hole 12 may be opened at a suitable position of the bottom plate 10 for the foot column 30, which is fixed by the nut 31, in order to increase the strength of the joint, the leg column 30 may be disposed between the two reinforcing ribs 11, and preferably, in order to further increase the bonding strength, the reinforcing ribs 11 herein may have an increased strength such as a square hollow. After the combination, please refer to FIG. 5, a plurality of legs 30 are added at appropriate positions of the bottom plate 10, and can be placed on the ground to avoid unnecessary wear of the surface of the bottom plate 10 and the ground, or part of the Suitable for use in an entire flat fit environment.

In addition, in order to further increase the bonding strength, the reinforcing rib 11 of the bottom plate 10 is provided with a card slot 111, and the reinforcing rib 21 of the panel 20 is also provided with a corresponding card slot 211, as shown in FIG. The grooves 111 and 211 are fitted to each other to form a knife-and-clip type to greatly increase the bonding strength of the two. After the combination, the bonding can be performed in combination with any of the foregoing methods, such as adhesive bonding, high-frequency bonding, ultrasonic bonding, Hot pressing and so on. Of course, the shape of the card slots 111, 211 is merely illustrative, and may be any other shape. At the same time, only the reinforcing ribs 11 of the bottom plate 10 or the reinforcing ribs 21 of the panel 20 may have a card slot, and may also be engaged with each other.

On the other hand, please refer to Fig. 7, the bottom surface of the bottom plate 10 and the panel 20 can also be The opening is provided to further reduce the material cost, and the drainage condition is also applicable, such as when the loaded product is liquid and easily leaked.

Please refer to FIG. 8 , which is another embodiment of the combined pallet structure of the present invention. Based on the same concept as described above, only a single panel 20 can be used as the main body of the pallet, and the structural strength in the vertical direction is weak, and the bottom surface is separately used. The reinforcing ribs 11 are respectively inserted into the slots 211 of the reinforcing ribs 21 of the panel 20, and can also form a modular pallet having a simpler structure. Similarly, the individual reinforcing ribs 11 can also have a card slot. The individual reinforcing ribs 11 can be obtained by the same forming method as the panel 20, and then the board surface is removed, or the independent reinforcing ribs 11 are separately formed, and are not limited to any manufacturing method.

On the other hand, if the pallet structure is to be applied to various strength requirements, it may be necessary to open several different types of molds or different strength materials to shape, which will increase the manufacturing cost. Therefore, please refer to Figure 9. An additional insertion reinforcing member 40 may be additionally provided between the reinforcing ribs 11 and 21 to assist in reinforcing the strength of the reinforcing ribs 11 and 21. The material of the reinforcing member 40 may be the same as or different from the bottom plate 10 or the panel 20, but it is reinforcing It is preferably used with a higher strength material, such as a metal such as aluminum; but it is mainly defined by the required strength, and there is no particular limitation on such a material. In the drawings, the reinforcing member 40 cooperates with the space formed by the reinforcing ribs 11 and 21 to be engaged with each other, and is preferably a square hollow column shape. However, the reinforcing member 40 is preferably limited to such a shape, and is not limited to being hollow. The way.

Therefore, by the design of the reinforcing member 40, the pallet can be assembled and assembled in a single mold, and the reinforcing member 40 can be used for reinforcement in a place where reinforcement is required according to various use occasions and demand conditions, thereby saving manufacturing more. Cost, no need to change according to various usage conditions and needs Change the mold.

Moreover, if the shipping cost derived from the volume of the transportation is considered, the pallet generally occupies a large amount of material and is not advantageous for long-distance transportation. Therefore, please refer to the 10th embodiment of the new combined pallet structure. In the figure 11, it is composed of a plurality of main body columns 50 and a plurality of horizontal columns 61 and 62. The same main body column 50 and the horizontal columns 61 and 62 are also linearly produced. In other words, for example, extrusion or extrusion can be employed. The main cross section has a plurality of assembly grooves 51, and the cross columns 61, 62 have a plurality of assembly grooves 611, 621, which can be staggered. The assembly is assembled into a combined pallet structure; therefore, it is only a plurality of columnar structures before being assembled, and the volume of the material for transportation is not as good as the conventional pallets occupying extra space, which is not conducive to transportation. In other words, the volume occupied by the transportation process is part of the structure, without the waste of extra space between the structures, so it is very suitable for transportation, and can effectively reduce the cost of transportation, and overcome the conventional pallets. Way transport is missing. Furthermore, the degree of closeness in which the main body column 50 and the horizontal columns 61, 62 are alternately arranged, in other words, the arrangement density of the assembly grooves 51 can be adjusted as needed.

The 50 and the transverse columns 61, 62 are designed to be thick and hollow.

In the case of the figures 10 and 11, the main body column 50 has the assembly groove 51 on both the upper and lower sides. Therefore, the horizontal columns 61 and 62 can be mounted on the assembly grooves 611 and 621 thereon. up and down On both sides, the horizontal pillars 61 and 62 are formed to sandwich the main body column 50, thereby assembling the structure. When the pallet is inserted, the pallet of the stacker is inserted in any direction, and both sides are double-sided. And the staggered structure supports without the structural strength being insufficient to cause the structure to detach or collapse. Furthermore, in order to further increase the strength of the pallet structure, the main column 50 may have an upper beam 501 and a lower beam 502 in the hollow portion thereof, and the horizontal columns 61, 62 respectively have central ribs 612, 622, when assembled, The central rib 612 of the horizontal column 61 will contact the upper beam 501 of the main body column 50, and the central rib 622 of the horizontal column 62 will contact the lower beam 502 of the main body column 50, so that the overall structure is not only the docking of the assembly groove, but also the beam. When it is clamped with the central rib so that it is subjected to stress (such as carrying goods or stacker handling), the stress can be dispersed by the fitting structure of the beam/central rib, so that the overall structural strength is significantly improved.

The fixing manner between the main body column 50 and the horizontal columns 61 and 62 can be fixed by various methods such as adhesive bonding, high-frequency bonding, ultrasonic bonding, thermocompression bonding, and snapping, or by using the horizontal columns 61 and 62 above and below. The two faces are joined to each other to sandwich and fix the main body column 50 by means of adhesive, high-frequency bonding, ultrasonic bonding, thermocompression bonding or the like. On the other hand, please refer to Figures 12 and 13, or in the production, the horizontal columns 61, 62 are directly provided with snaps 613, 623 to be engaged with each other, and can be prevented by the central stop post 624. The detachment of the relationship; of course, the buckle structure is only illustrated with the drawing, and any other fixing method can be applied.

Returning to the 10th and 11th, the outer edge of the main body column 50 may have a card slot 52, and the hook 71 extending inwardly from the edge of the side strip 70 may be directly hooked into the two sides or the surrounding side (shoring column) 61, 62 may also have the same structure), and the same, the side strip 70 is also preferably a linearly produced structure.

Please refer to Figures 14 and 15 for the connection. In order to increase the convenience of use, this structure is also In combination with the design of the foot post 80, in order to facilitate production and coherence, the leg 80 also adopts a linearly-produced structure including a leg body 81 and a sleeve 82 which is the main structure of the leg 80 In order to change to linear production, it is a hollow structure with a plurality of supporting ribs, and then the sleeve 82 is installed in the lower half thereof to improve the supporting ability of the foot column; and the upper supporting rib can be installed as And the positioning slot is directly sleeved at the appropriate position of the main body column 50 or the horizontal columns 61, 62 to form the foot column 80 supported by the bottom of the whole pallet; of course, except for the manner of the above-mentioned arranging, the other assembly methods For example, various methods such as snapping, hooking, clamping or locking, bonding, etc. are applicable.

Furthermore, please refer to Fig. 16, if it is considered that the foot column 80 needs to carry the weight of the whole pallet and the cargo on it (static load), it can be directly fitted with the additional reinforcement 40 according to the structure of the above-mentioned FIG. The middle of the leg body 81 is hollow to assist in enhancing the strength of the leg body 81. The leg body 81 may be vertically or horizontally mounted. Similarly, the reinforcing member 40 may be made of the same material as the leg body 81. Or different, but because it is used for reinforcement, it is better to use a material with higher strength, such as aluminum or the like; but it is mainly defined by the required strength, and there is no particular limitation on such materials; the same, The reinforcing member 40 may have any other shape in addition to the hollow cylindrical shape.
