Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a pallet structure, specifically a pallet structure with a pre-designed shape to accommodate supports and provide different reinforcement structures. It can significantly reduce the assembly and fastening work of the pallet structure, reduce the assembly cost of the pallet, and easily adapt to different load-bearing capacities to meet different load-bearing requirements. Background Technology

[0002] To facilitate the handling of large quantities of goods at once, the concept of placing goods on a frame and then moving the frame with power machinery to simultaneously transport the goods has been developed. Accordingly, pallets have emerged. A pallet is a flat frame with a through space underneath, allowing the forks of power machinery (such as forklifts) to pass through and lift the pallet from below for transport.

[0003] Wooden pallets are mostly made from natural wood. While they have excellent load-bearing capacity, they are too heavy and prone to blackening, mold, and insect infestation, requiring manual refurbishment and maintenance. In particular, governments around the world are increasingly restricting the use of various forms of wooden packaging materials, including wooden pallets. For example, the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) requires users to comply with ISPM 15 (International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15) to prevent pests. This increases the cost and complexity of the process, while also raising the risk of import and export of goods, potentially leading to customs refusal and delays. Therefore, wooden pallets are gradually being replaced.

[0004] Plastic pallets are generally not sturdy and are more prone to bending and deformation than wooden pallets, making it difficult to provide sufficient rigidity and support. To improve the performance of plastic pallets, the thickness of the cross-section of the injection molded parts or the addition of ribs can be used. However, different thicknesses of pallet structures require different molds to achieve, and it is still difficult to increase sufficient support. Therefore, how to solve the above problems and make the pallet structure lightweight and sturdy, while also being low-cost and easy to produce, is an important technical issue worthy of exploration. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the high manufacturing cost of existing conventional pallet structures and the insufficient strength of plastic pallet structures, this invention proposes a pallet structure. The purpose of this invention is to enable pallets of the same shape, i.e., using a single mold, to be configured with supports to enhance dynamic and static load-bearing capacity, thereby making them stronger and significantly reducing manufacturing and production costs.

[0006] This invention proposes a pallet structure with a pre-designed shape to accommodate supports. The structure includes a main body and at least one support housed within the main body, which enhances the static load-bearing capacity of goods placed on the pallet structure. The main body may also be provided with grooves to accommodate forklifts or forklifts lifting the pallet structure. These grooves can accommodate elongated crossbars, which not only restrict the position of the supports, allowing goods to be placed on the ground and lifted off the ground, but also enhance the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the pallet structure. The main structure features upright slots that perfectly conform to the shape of the supports. This allows for easy placement of supports, eliminating the need for extensive nailing, locking, and inserting of supports required by conventional pallets. It also prevents supports from shifting or loosening, while providing structural rigidity and forklift rigidity when carrying goods. The main structure can be fitted with a top cover, which, when integrated with the main structure, prevents supports from being exposed and provides further support and torsional resistance to the main structure. It also offers weather resistance, preventing moisture and rust. Furthermore, by varying the number, material, shape, and thickness of the supports, the pallet structure of the same main structure can be configured to achieve different required load-bearing capacities.

[0014] 11: Vertical groove 12: Horizontal groove

[0015] 20: Grounding post; 30: Horizontal bar

[0016] 40: Footplate 50: Top cover plate Detailed Implementation

[0017] According to the present invention, a pallet structure with a pre-designed shape is used to insert a support. Please refer to [the following text is also provided]. Figure 1 This is a front perspective view of the pallet structure of the present invention, which is designed to accommodate a support. The pallet structure 1 assembly of the present invention includes a main body 10, wherein the main body 10 is provided with at least one support groove, and the support is disposed in the support groove, so that the support and the main body 10 are integrated. The support groove of the main body 10 can be divided into horizontal and vertical. The vertical surface has several vertical grooves 11, which are used to accommodate the support, which is a vertical groundable support (grounding post 20). The horizontal surface has several horizontal grooves 12, which are used to accommodate a horizontal strip support (horizontal bar 30). When the strip support is combined with the main body 10, it can limit the movement of the ground support 20, making the overall pallet structure 1 more stable.

[0018] Please refer to the following. Figure 2A This is an exploded view of the pallet structure of the present invention, which is designed to accommodate a support. The pallet structure 1 of the present invention includes a main body 10, wherein the main body 10 further forms at least one upright groove 11 and multiple horizontal grooves 12. The upright groove 11 can hold a grounding post 20, making the pallet structure 1 more stable. The horizontal grooves 12 can be used to set horizontal bars 30, so that when the horizontal bars 30 are combined with the main body 10, they can limit the movement of the grounding post 20, making the pallet structure 1 more rigid. Please also refer to... Figure 2B The main body 10 and the supports (grounding post 20 and horizontal bar 30) can be fixed by using fasteners or non-fasteners. For example, if the main body 10 and the supports (grounding post 20 and horizontal bar 30) are both made of metal, the supports (grounding post 20 and horizontal bar 30) can be fixed in the support grooves (vertical groove 11 and horizontal groove 12) of the main body 10 by welding.

[0019] On the other hand, if the main body 10 and the supports (grounding post 20 and horizontal bar 30) are made of plastic, the supports (grounding post 20 and horizontal bar 30) can be fixed in the support grooves (vertical groove 11 and horizontal groove 12) of the main body 10 using ultrasonic or high-frequency methods; furthermore, regardless of whether the main body 10 and the supports (grounding post 20 and horizontal bar 30) are made of metal, plastic, or other materials, the supports (grounding post 20 and horizontal bar 30) can be glued and fixed in place. The support (vertical groove 11 and horizontal groove 12) of the main body 10 can be used to fix the support (grounding post 20 and horizontal bar 30) into the support groove (vertical groove 11 and horizontal groove 12) of the main body 10, in addition to using glue. Fasteners such as screws and rivets can also be used to fix the support (grounding post 20 and horizontal bar 30) into the support groove (vertical groove 11 and horizontal groove 12) of the main body 10. Furthermore, if the strength requirement is lower, a tight fit can be used to directly snap the support (grounding post 20 and horizontal bar 30) into the support groove (vertical groove 11 and horizontal groove 12) of the main body 10. Of course, the above are just examples; the relevant fixing methods (whether fasteners or non-fasteners) are currently commonly used and can be easily replaced.

[0020] Please refer to the following. Figure 3 This is a perspective view of the back of the pallet structure with a pre-designed shape for inserting a support in this invention; the back of the main body 10 is provided with multiple feet 40, which are integrated with the main body 10 and make the pallet structure 1 more stable; in addition to the aforementioned embodiments, the feet 40 can be installed separately (separately assembled, not shown in the figure), and the shape can be cylindrical, square, rectangular or any other geometric shape, assembled separately in several or multiple pieces, and installed using fasteners or non-fasteners, which can achieve the effects of saving transportation and convenience.

[0021] In addition to the aforementioned exceptions, there is another embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 This is a front perspective view of another embodiment of the pallet structure of the present invention with a pre-designed shape for inserting a support. The pallet structure 1 assembly of the present invention includes a shaped main body 10, wherein the shaped main body 10 is provided with at least one upright groove 11, and a grounding post 20 can be placed in the upright groove 11. The surface of the shaped main body 10 is provided with a plurality of horizontal grooves 12, which can be used to set horizontal bars 30. The horizontal bars 30 can be provided with an upper cover plate 50. By combining the upper cover plate 50 with the shaped main body 10, the grounding post 20 and the horizontal bars 30 are not exposed, which can further increase the supporting force of the pallet structure 1 and the torsional resistance of the shaped main body 10. It can also provide the grounding post 20 and the horizontal bars 30 with weather resistance such as preventing moisture and rust, while avoiding the disadvantages of ordinary pallets that are easy to age, lack rigidity and are easy to degrade.

[0022] The main body 10 and the top cover 50 can be made of plastic or other materials, and the production method is not limited to vacuum forming, injection molding or compression molding. The other materials of the pallet structure 1 are not necessarily specific. The pallet structure 1 can also be made of different materials, quantities, thicknesses and shapes to meet the needs of different usage scenarios and load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, by configuring different quantities, shapes and materials of the same main body 10, different usage environments and rigidity requirements can be met, which can greatly save the number of molds and reduce the difficulty of production.

[0023] Even the main body 10 and the top cover plate 50 themselves have some corresponding rigidity and strength, so in some applications, a pallet can be made with a small number of supports (or even no supports). The main body 10, supports and top cover plate 50 of the pallet structure 1 can be produced and installed using various processes, such as applying fasteners or non-fasteners to implement the method (e.g., welding, gluing, ultrasonic, high frequency or gluing).

[0024] This invention features a pre-designed pallet structure with an embedded support, which is simple to manufacture and easy to install. The structure is also rigid, sturdy, and lightweight, making it suitable for storage and transport. The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the invention and does not constitute any limitation on the invention. For example, in this embodiment, the main body or top cover can be perforated and its weight reduced to decrease material weight; or, if sufficient support provides rigidity, the top cover may be omitted; or the horizontal bars can be solid or hollow. Anyone skilled in the art can make modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the invention, without departing from the scope of the invention, still fall within the scope of the invention.
