Abstract

A monolithic plastic pallet is entirely manufactured as a single-piece by a moulding process and has a substantially rectangular supporting bottom (2) with two narrow sides (18) and two longitudinal sides (22) and which forms a supporting surface (8), and feet (6) formed at least in the four corners of the supporting bottom (2), at its bottom side (4) opposite to the supporting surface (8). This pallet is particularly useful in transport and storage systems in which the pallet is supported only in the area of its opposite narrow sides, its remaining length being freely suspended without any support, in the manner of a bridge. The supporting bottom (2) is designed as a double bottom with a top cover plate (10) and a lower bottom (12) arranged below the cover plate (10), at a distance therefrom. The cover plate (10) and the lower bottom (12) are joined by a supporting structure with two different types of latticework (14, 24). In the first type of latticework (14), the joining strips (16) extend in the longitudinal direction, parallel to the longitudinal sides (22), and in a second type of latticework (24), the joining strips (26) extend in the transverse direction, parallel to the narrow sides (18).

Description

Plastic pallet

The present invention relates to a plastic pallet, consisting of a one-piece, completely monolithically molded part, with a substantially rectangular, two narrow sides and two long sides having a supporting surface and a support surface and at least in four corner areas of the support base on the support surface feet formed on the opposite underside, in particular for use in transport or storage systems in which the pallet is supported only in the region of the two opposite narrow sides and is otherwise arranged in a bridge-like manner with its longitudinal extension without support.

Such a one-piece plastic pallet is known from DE 23 06 869 C2, although this is not described for the specific use in the transport or storage systems mentioned (such as high-bay storage systems). It should not be suitable for this, or only to a limited extent; because the supporting arch of this known pallet is used by a large number of spaced parallel next to each other and in the transverse direction, ie parallel to the narrow sides running, square tube-like hollow profiles formed, which are partially connected by webs. This results in a very low bending stiffness, particularly in the longitudinal direction, if the pallet is only supported with its narrow sides. Furthermore, the known pallet results in a relatively complicated three-dimensional shape and accordingly a complex manufacture or an expensive molding tool. In addition, a relatively large amount of plastic material is obviously also required for the production.

Another range of plastic is known from CH-PS 593 827. However, this pallet cannot be called "one-piece" in the generic or inventive sense, since certain openings in the area of the feet or side members have to be closed with separate lids, these lids also being necessary because they obviously have a supporting function . But also with regard to the supposedly one-piece production of the main part of the pallet, this must be questioned because the cavities to be closed with the said lids expand inwards (FIG. 2), so that in the case of one-piece manufacture, demolding even takes place would not be possible. This known pallet has a framework in the area above the longitudinal beams, which is formed by hollow cross beams which are triangular in cross section. Since these crossbeams also run parallel to the narrow sides of the pallet, this known pallet also has only a small longitudinal rigidity in the longitudinal direction, which is insufficient for the preferred use indicated.

The present invention has for its object to provide a plastic pallet of the generic type, which is particularly lightweight (lightweight) nevertheless very high load-bearing capacity and in particular high bending stiffness, especially in the longitudinal direction, and which is also simple and inexpensive to manufacture.

This is achieved according to the invention in that the supporting floor is designed as a double floor with an upper, essentially closed cover plate and an underbody arranged at a distance below the cover plate, the cover plate and the underbody being provided with a support structure with two different types of web trusses are connected, in a first type of truss type connecting webs parallel to the long sides longitudinally extending and in a second type of truss type connecting webs parallel to the narrow sides are provided transversely.

The combination of longitudinal and transverse web trusses according to the invention ensures that even larger pallets, in particular so-called EURO pallets according to DIN 15 146 part 2, are produced in a relatively simple and technically still controllable manner in only one molding process ("in one shot") can be, but still have a sufficiently good longitudinal bending stiffness. For this purpose, it is particularly advantageous if the first type of bridge truss is provided in each of two surface zones of the supporting floor adjoining the two narrow sides and the second type of bridge truss is provided in the remaining intermediate area. The longitudinal connecting webs of the first type of truss framework - starting from the respective narrow side - extend over a length of up to about a third of the total length of the supporting floor. The transverse connecting webs in the remaining intermediate area can then advantageously run continuously from long side to long side. side across the width of the tray. In the case of a EURO pallet which, according to the standard mentioned, has a length of 1,200 mm and a width of 800 mm, this preferred embodiment means that the longitudinally extending connecting webs - and thus also the cavities to be formed by slides - have a length in Have a range of up to about 400 mm. This is technically manageable. The transverse direction is in any case less problematic because the pallet width only needs to be halved for the slides. With a EURO pallet, this also results in a slide length of around 400 mm.

It is thus achieved by the invention that a pallet with increased bending stiffness, especially in e.g. in high-bay warehouses, the essential longitudinal direction can be produced in just a single molding process. This results in the very economical and also environmentally politically advantageous possibility of using, at least in part, a recycled plastic regranulate for the production. Since such regranulate is not "sorted", but consists of an almost incalculable mixture of different plastics, only processing "in one shot" is possible. This is because separately manufactured parts could not subsequently be joined (welded) in a homogeneous, cohesive manner, specifically because of the different melting points of the material components contained.

Because of its high level of economy, the pallet according to the invention represents a real alternative for the wooden pallets previously mainly used in high-bay warehouses, plastic, of course, offering fundamental advantages over wood; just to name a few examples: insensitivity to weather conditions 97/39956 PC17EP97 / 02031

rivers, low weight (especially when wet, since plastic, unlike wood, does not absorb water), good shape stability, low risk of injury by avoiding splintering, etc.

Preferably, the connecting webs of at least the first web truss type are at least partially designed as tension / compression webs in such a way that their linear upper and lower connection points (transition points to the cover plate and to the sub-floor) are each offset laterally parallel to the plane of the supporting floor. It is therefore an inclined arrangement, at least for a subset of the connecting webs, which lie in planes which each run at an angle a ≠ 90 ° to the plane of the supporting floor. In the simplest case, the web truss corresponds to the design of a so-called "simple strut truss", in which two adjacent tension / compression webs together form a V or an inverted V. According to the invention, however, the configuration corresponding to a "post framework" or "intermediate framework" with additional webs perpendicular to the level of the supporting floor can also be provided. In addition, the tension and compression webs can be arranged without crossing and / or crossing. An embodiment in accordance with a so-called “K framework” is also fundamentally possible within the scope of the present invention.

In all versions it is essential that the inclined arrangement of at least some of the connecting webs results in a "triangle system" for the purpose of stiffening. This also contributes to a very high rigidity of the supporting floor, because the bridge truss can absorb lateral thrust forces. Therefore, it is sufficient in most applications, this preferred embodiment of the Support floor only to be provided in two opposite, strip-like edge zones. In the remaining area of the supporting floor, the cover plate and the sub-floor can then be connected to one another via connecting webs running in parallel. These connecting webs can be aligned essentially perpendicular to the level of the supporting floor. This stiffening is therefore a "rectangular system" or "rectangular framework". Preferably, however, the connecting webs of the second type of truss framework - analogous to the preferred embodiment of the first type of truss framework - are designed as a "triangle system".

Further advantageous design features of the invention are contained in the subclaims and the following description.

The invention will be explained in more detail below on the basis of preferred exemplary embodiments of a plastic pallet according to the invention illustrated in the drawing. Show:

In the various figures of the drawing, the same parts are always provided with the same reference numerals and are therefore generally only described once.

As can first be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, a plastic pallet according to the invention consists of a one-piece molded part 1 produced “monolithically” in a molding process (injection or pressing process). The pallet or molded part 1 has an essentially rectangular support base 2 and feet 6 formed at least in four corner regions of the support base 2 on its underside 4. On its upper side facing away from the feet 6, the support base 2 forms an essentially flat support surface 8 for any storage or transport goods not shown.

According to the invention, the support base 2 consists, at least in some areas, of an upper cover plate 10, which is preferably substantially closed over the entire support surface 8, and an underside 12 arranged at a distance below the cover plate 10. The underside 12 with the cover plate 10 According to the invention initially connected via a first web truss 14, which consists of connecting webs 16. These connecting webs 16 are preferably designed as tension / compression webs and for this purpose at least partially aligned at an angle a a 90 ° to the plane of the support surface 8 (see in particular FIGS. 1 and 5) such that each of these tension / Pressure webs 16 in its upper and lower area, integrally merging into the cover plate 10 and the bottom 12, a linear connection dungsstelle forms, which are laterally offset parallel to the plane of the support base 2 or the support surface 8 to each other.

The first web truss 14 is preferably formed in each of two surface zones 20 of the tray 2 adjacent to opposite side edges, namely on the narrow sides 18 of the rectangular tray 2. This results primarily from FIGS. 2 and 4. The connecting webs 16 or their line-shaped connection points run essentially perpendicular to these side edges or narrow sides 18 and thus essentially parallel to the long sides 22 of the rectangular supporting floor 2. This means that, according to the invention, the connecting webs 16 of the first web framework 14 practically form "longitudinal webs" which correspond in their alignment to the long sides 22. The length of the connecting webs 16 corresponding to the width of each surface zone 20 in this embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 7 is substantially equal to the width or "thickness" of the feet 6 measured in this direction (see FIG. 4).

In the remaining intermediate region 21 of the supporting floor 2, which lies between the two surface zones 20, a second type of web framework 24 connecting the upper cover plate 10 and the underbody 12 is provided, the cover plate 10 and the underbody 12 being connected to one another via parallel connecting webs 26 are. In this embodiment, these connecting webs 26 are arranged essentially perpendicular to the plane of the support base 2 or the support surface 8, so that a "rectangular system" is formed for stiffening according to FIG. These connecting webs 26 extend continuously between the longitudinal sides 22 of the support base 2, ie essentially perpendicular to the direction of the connecting webs 16 of the first Web truss 14. The connecting webs 16 each end at one, in each case at the outermost connecting web 26. Thus, the connecting webs 26 practically form "transverse webs" - in relation to the rectangular shape of the supporting floor 2.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 it is provided that the sub-floor 12 consists of a plurality of floor areas 12a, 12b which lie in mutually offset planes. 6, the distance A between the upper cover plate 10 and the area 12a of the subfloor 12 is preferably greater in the area of the first multi-wall framework 14 than the distance B between the cover plate 10 and the area 12b in the area of the second multi-frame structure 24.

In the preferred embodiments of the invention shown - see in particular FIGS. 2 and 9 - the base 2 has nine feet 6 on its underside in a symmetrical arrangement of three rows of three feet 6 each. The feet 6 are expediently connected in groups or rows in their lower region facing away from the supporting floor 2 via runners 30, specifically three feet 6 are connected via the runners 30, so that a total of three runners 30 are provided, which are each divided into two sections arranged between the feet. The runners 30 run parallel to one another and preferably also parallel to the longitudinal sides 22 of the support base 2. There is a clear distance between the support base 2 and the runners 30 which is ≥ the required entry height of a forklift or gripper.

In order to save material, it is expedient to provide the runners 30 in particular hollow on their underside and preferably with stiffening ribs 32. It However, it is within the scope of the invention to provide skids made of solid material.

Expediently - likewise in order to save material - the feet 6 are hollow and open at the bottom. In this case, longitudinal and / or transverse stiffening ribs 34 are preferably arranged within the feet 6, which expediently extend upwards to the supporting floor 2, i.e. extend to the underbody and are integrally connected there. In this regard, it is particularly advantageous to interrupt the reinforcing ribs 34 in particular in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the outer feet 6 arranged in the corner regions of the supporting floor 2. As a result, there is no direct, rigid connection within the feet 6 between the walls forming the respective foot 6 and extending perpendicular to the supporting floor 2, which is why, despite good rigidity, elastic compliance is achieved. In this way, damage (material breaks) is advantageously largely avoided in the event of impact loads.

As can also be seen from FIGS. 2 and 4, the support base 2 can advantageously have stiffening ribs 36 on its underside, at least in some areas. These stiffening ribs 36 are provided in particular in the area of a central strip 20 extending parallel between the surface zones 20 having the web framework 14, ie in each case between the "middle" feet 6. For good demoulding, the stiffening ribs 36 are perpendicular to the level of the supporting floor 2 aligned, and they have free end edges, which are expediently in a common plane with the lower surface of the areas 12a of the underbody 12 to a support plane for to form a stacker or the like.

It is also advantageous if the support floor 2 on its top, i.e. has a surface roughening in the area of the support surface 8, in such a way that a good frictional connection and thus a low risk of slipping of a storage or transport item on the support surface 8 is achieved.

In addition, the support base 2 preferably has on its upper side a, in particular, full-surface corrugation 38 consisting of individual elevations 40 distributed over the support surface 8. This can be seen in particular in the enlarged representations in FIGS. 3 and 10. In this case, the elevations 40 are preferably as high starting from the contact surface 8, e.g. 1 mm that this results in a drainage of liquids, e.g. Was¬ water is guaranteed even if there is a certain good on the pallet or the base 2. Because on the basis of the elevations 40, a gap is always formed between the support surface 8 and the good.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the support base 2 has at least one through opening 42, but preferably a plurality of through openings 42 distributed over the surface. These passage openings 42 serve on the one hand for the passage of media, for example liquids and gases. On the other hand, at least one through opening 42 can preferably be elongated as a handle opening, as a result of which it can be used for manual handling of the pallet.

In the advantageous embodiment, means are also provided for fastening packaging material. For this are preferably formed at least in the corner regions of the supporting floor 2 from its upper side holding edges 44 which can be gripped behind or underneath by a packaging material, not shown, in particular film (shrink film). This can best be seen in FIGS. 3 and 10. As shown, the retaining edges 44 are preferably formed in that the feet 6 spring back a little inwards relative to the corners of the supporting base 2, namely through recesses or cutouts 46 formed in the corner regions.

The pallet according to the invention or the molded part 1 according to the invention can be produced in any size. However, it is particularly advantageous to provide a dimensional design corresponding to a pallet according to DIN 15 146 part 2, the total length L _{G being} approximately 1200 mm and the total width B _{G being} approximately 800 mm.

Because of its special spatial shape, the pallet according to the invention or the molded part 1 can be produced in a simple manner in a single operation in a correspondingly designed molding tool, the respective cavities between the connecting webs 16 and between the connecting webs 26 by means of a and extendable mold cores are formed. De-molding is also easy by extending the existing cores and separating the mold halves.

8 to 15, in which a particularly advantageous embodiment of the pallet according to the invention is illustrated. The same or corresponding parts and components are initially provided with the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 1 to 7, so that reference is made to the above Spelling can be referenced.

A first essential difference now consists in the fact that the supporting floor 2 is designed continuously as a double floor, for which purpose the feet 6 only extend to the underside of the lower floor 12. In addition, both types of web trusses 14 and 24 are designed as "triangular systems" with sloping connecting webs 16, 26. The sub-floor 12 extends essentially in one plane continuously over the entire surface of the supporting floor 2. The supporting floor 2 thus has the same thickness throughout. The surface zones 20, in each of which the first web truss 14 is provided, extend in the longitudinal direction of the pallets over a range of approximately 1/3 of the total length L _G. Therefore, the length of the intermediate region 21 measured in the longitudinal direction also corresponds to approximately one third of the total length L _G. In this preferred embodiment, mainly the base 2 is largely responsible for the stability and bending stiffness. The feet 6 and the runners 30 only play a subordinate role with regard to the bending stiffness. Because the connecting webs 16 of the web trusses 14 extend relatively far in the longitudinal direction, this embodiment is particularly well suited for the use mentioned in transport or storage systems, namely if the pallet is supported only in the areas of the two narrow sides 18.

According to FIG. 9, the support base 2 has stiffening projections 50 on its underside in the angular areas between the base 12 and the feet 6. On the mutually facing side surfaces of the feet 6 each arranged on the narrow sides 18, these stiffening projections 50 are advantageously designed such that they start from enlarge their side facing the narrow side 18 with a triangular cross section. As a result, guide surfaces for stacker arms are advantageously formed. Otherwise, the stiffening projections 50 can also have a concavely curved transition surface. In the exemplary embodiment shown, this is provided on the surfaces of the feet 6 facing each other in the longitudinal direction.

As can further be seen from FIG. 9 and also from FIG. 11, it is provided, at least in the case of the feet 6 arranged in the middle on the longitudinal sides 22, that two stiffening ribs 34 running parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction are formed within the downwardly open cavity, a transverse web 52 being formed between each of these two stiffening ribs 34 and the adjacent outer wall of the foot 6. This advantageous design feature stiffens the respective foot 6 without, however, impairing the basic elasticity and thus the security against impact-related damage (breaks).

It should also be mentioned that the present invention - in addition to EURO pallets in accordance with DIN 15 146 Part 2 - is also particularly suitable for other pallets which are also used - at least among other things - in storage systems where they are only used in Area of their narrow sides are supported. Pallets with the dimensions 1100 mm x 1100 mm and 1200 mm x 1100 mm are also used for this application.

The pallet according to the invention or the one-piece molded part 1 advantageously consists at least in part of an artificial regranulate, in particular from a material with about 60% PE-HD.

The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown and described, but also encompasses all embodiments having the same effect in the sense of the invention. Furthermore, the invention has not yet been limited to the combination of features defined in claim 1, but can also be defined by any other combination of certain features of all the individual features disclosed overall. This means that in principle practically every single feature of claim 1 can be omitted or replaced by at least one single feature disclosed elsewhere in the application. In this respect, claim 1 is only to be understood as a first attempt at formulation for an invention.
