Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pallet technology, and in particular to a pallet mechanism with adjustable clamping stroke and adaptive to small pallet thickness. Background Technology

[0002] Pallet mechanisms are an important component of automated logistics systems, mainly used for pallet handling, conveying, and loading / unloading. Pallet handling systems are key subsystems of intelligent handling systems. Modular pallet conveyor systems use aluminum profiles as the main support, which has high precision and high wear resistance, and are applied in the field of automation. With the continuous development of technology, people's requirements for pallet mechanisms are also getting higher and higher.

[0003] Existing pallet mechanisms have certain drawbacks in use. First, existing pallet mechanisms are limited to a single size, making it difficult to adapt to different sizes of books. They also lack an adaptive structure, requiring pallet replacement and adjustments when changing models, which is inconvenient for users. Furthermore, existing pallet mechanisms have unstable clamping and load-bearing capabilities, which may lead to displacement or detachment during high-speed transport, negatively impacting actual use. Therefore, we propose a pallet mechanism with adjustable clamping stroke and adaptive thickness to smaller books. Summary of the Invention
