[0033] like Figure 3-4 As shown, Figure 3 A diagram showing a tray in use according to an embodiment of the utility model; Figure 4 The present invention is a schematic diagram of the structure of a tray according to an embodiment of the present invention; the tray for placing ultrasonic gas meter valves comprises a top plate 1 and side plates 2 arranged around the top plate 1; an assembly cavity 3 is formed between the top plate 1 and the side plates 2, a plurality of rows of accommodating cavities 10 are arranged on the lower surface of the top plate 1, the accommodating cavities 10 are embedded in the assembly cavity 3, and each row of accommodating cavities 10 comprises a plurality of accommodating cavity grooves 11 arranged in parallel and corresponding to valves 40; the valves 40 are placed in the accommodating cavity grooves 11; the present invention has a simple structure, and the entire tray adopts an integrally formed structure, which improves the structural strength and overall firmness. At the same time, by setting up a plurality of rows of accommodating cavities, the form of single packaging of gas meter valves in the past is changed, which can save storage and transportation costs. At the same time, the independent placement and positioning of the valves can make the positioning of each valve more accurate, and can avoid the problems of product shaking, collapse and mutual collision;

[0034] A stepped assembly surface 17 is formed between the top plate 1 and the accommodating cavity 10, so that a reliable load-bearing structural strength linkage effect is formed between the inner and outer walls of the pallet. The structure has high strength and good force-bearing performance, and can effectively adapt to the technical requirements of grasping and transporting operations in automated assembly line production.

[0037] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the side panels 2 are arranged obliquely along the height direction of the pallet, and the inclination angle between the side panels 2 and the positioning plate 18 is 75° to 85°; in this embodiment, the inclination angle between the side panels 2 and the top panel 1 is 85°, and the side panels 2 on all sides are arranged obliquely, so that the force-bearing area of ​​the base and the shelf of the entire pallet is larger, and the placement is more stable.

[0038] Among them, the bottom of the cavity groove 11 and the positioning plate 18 are on the same horizontal plane, which makes the entire pallet more stable. By setting the positioning plate 18, the valves placed in the pallet are safer to use. In addition, by adopting the above scheme, the force on the valve placed in the cavity groove 11 is not only limited to the structure of the cavity groove 11, but also has a reaction force from the cavity groove 11 given by the shelf, which makes the placement of the valve more stable and safe.

[0039] A positioning plate 18 is connected to the outer side of the bottom of the side plate 2. The positioning plate 18 is arranged circumferentially on the outer side of the pallet, and the positioning plate 18 is arranged parallel to the top plate 1.

[0041] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a plurality of guide grooves 9 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the longitudinal side panel 2 of the pallet, and the guide groove 9 is located at the outer end between the two cavity grooves 11, the top of the guide groove 9 extends upward, and the bottom of the guide groove 9 is located on the side panel 2; a plurality of process grooves 16 are formed on the side panel 2, and the plurality of process grooves 16 are embedded in the side panel 2, and the width of the process groove 16 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the thickness of the process groove 16 is less than the thickness of the inner groove 6.

[0042] The cavity groove 11 includes a valve positioning cavity 12 and a valve installation cavity 13; a valve shelf 14 is provided between the valve positioning cavity 12 and the valve installation cavity 13; the valve positioning cavity 12 and the valve installation cavity 13 are connected to the connecting groove 4; Figure 5 As shown, it can be known from the above structure that the valve tray of the embodiment of the utility model, by arranging a plurality of cavity grooves 11 in the tray, places the valve in the cavity groove 11, and the valve positioning cavity 12 and the valve installation cavity 13 limit the circumference of the valve to ensure that the position of the valve in the cavity groove 11 is stable, and prevents the valve from sliding back and forth in the cavity groove 11 during transportation or movement.

[0043] like Figure 3-5As shown, a valve positioning column 12-1 is fixedly provided at the middle position at the bottom of the valve positioning cavity 12, and valve positioning grooves 12-2 are symmetrically arranged in the valve positioning cavity 12.

[0046] Specifically, the first arc-shaped guide groove 12-3 and the second arc-shaped guide groove 13-1 have a certain limiting effect relative to the valve, which ensures the stability of the valve placement on the one hand. After the valve is placed in the first arc-shaped guide groove 12-3 and the second arc-shaped guide groove 13-1, it can be more easily clamped by a robot, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0047] The valve rest seat 14 can play a guiding role. The two ends of the valve are located in the valve positioning cavity 12 and the valve installation cavity 13. The connection of the valve is placed on the valve rest seat 14, which can further realize the stable connection between the valve and the tray, and make the valve connected to the tray evenly stressed, thereby improving the stability of the valve placement.
