[0002] With the vigorous development of the digital economy, data centers, as carriers of the digital economy, have developed rapidly in recent years. IT equipment in data centers is usually installed in cabinets. Cabinets need to be placed on pallets during transportation to protect them. After the cabinets are transported to the installation site, they are removed from the pallets and moved to the installation location.

[0003] Currently, there are two main ways to remove the cabinet from the pallet. In one way, the cabinet has built-in rollers, and a ramp is used to push the cabinet off the pallet. In this way, the cabinet needs to be equipped with 4 more roller components, which is costly. Secondly, the pallet needs to have its own ramp. In addition to the material cost of the ramp itself, the packaging size and weight are generally increased, which will again increase the overall cost of the product. In the other way, the cabinet does not have rollers, and a hoist is used to lift the cabinet and then transport it to the installation location, or the cabinet is moved off the pallet by manpower. This method has a greater safety risk.

[0004] How to remove the cabinet from the pallet safely and conveniently has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.

[0027] In the embodiments of the present application, "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0028] Currently, removing the cabinet from the pallet and transporting it to the installation location generally requires high costs or relies on manpower, and the latter is not only complicated to operate, but also has great safety risks. Therefore, how to provide a method that is relatively low in cost, occupies less space, and can facilitate the removal of the cabinet from the pallet has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0029] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a pallet assembly, which includes: at least two support assemblies; the support assembly includes a first connecting plate; a first support column arranged on the bottom surface of the first end of the first connecting plate; and a second support column arranged on the bottom surface of the second end of the first connecting plate. Such a pallet assembly is low in cost on the one hand, and convenient for moving the cabinet using tools such as a forklift on the other hand.

[0030] The embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application of a pallet assembly in an exemplary embodiment provided by the present application; the pallet assembly includes at least two support assemblies 10. The support assemblies 10 are connected to both ends of the bottom of the cabinet by bolts. Figure 2 The support assembly 10 shown includes a first connecting plate 101 disposed opposite to each other in the upper and lower parts; a first support column 103 disposed on the bottom surface of the first end of the first connecting plate 101; and a second support column 104 disposed on the bottom surface of the second end of the first connecting plate 101. This pallet assembly has low cost, is convenient for transporting the cabinet through the space under the first connecting plate 101 using a forklift or other transport tool, and can also be conveniently removed from the cabinet.

[0032] Optionally, the support assembly 10 further includes: a second connecting plate 102 , the first connecting plate 101 and the second connecting plate 102 are arranged opposite to each other up and down; the first pillar 103 and the second pillar 104 connect the first connecting plate 101 and the second connecting plate 102 .

[0033] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the pallet assembly also includes at least two pad assemblies 20; Figure 4 The pad assembly 20 shown in the figure includes a pad 201 and a stopper 202; the stopper 202 is arranged at a position on the bottom surface of the pad 201 away from the end of the pad 201. Figure 3 The limit block 202 of the pad assembly 20 is arranged at the middle position of the bottom of the pad 201 .

[0034] Optionally, the first connecting plate 101 is provided with at least two first notches 1011 corresponding to the foot positions of the load on the pallet assembly, so that the foot on the cabinet can pass through the notches, which helps to stabilize the cabinet during transportation.

[0035] Figure 3 The height of the support assembly 10 in the pallet assembly is the same as the height of the pad assembly 20, which helps to keep the cabinet stable during transportation.

[0036] In another possible embodiment, Figure 5In the structural diagram of the pallet assembly shown, both ends of the pads 201 of the at least two pad assemblies 20 are connected to the first connecting plates 101 of the two support assemblies 10; a support plate 105 is also provided on the first connecting plate 101 of the support assembly 10; the support plate 105 and the upper surface of the pad 201 are located in the same plane. In this embodiment, the two support assemblies 10 and the two pad assemblies 20 can be combined into a module by means of wood screws 50. The module uses less materials and therefore has a lower cost. However, after being combined into a whole, the structure is stable and convenient for transportation and storage. When in use, the wood screws can be removed to split it into 4 independent sub-modules. The split pallet assembly is as follows: Figure 6 shown.

[0037] In an optional implementation manner, a notch 2012 is formed on the pad 201 at a position corresponding to the first notch 1011 .

[0038] In a possible implementation, the first connecting plate 101, the second connecting plate 102, the first support 103 and the second support 104 can be assembled by using nails in the supporting assembly 10, and the supporting plate 105 is fixed on the first connecting plate 101. Figure 7 As shown, when a forklift lifts the cabinet from the front and rear doors of the cabinet, the forklift arm directly contacts the support plate 105 and then lifts the cabinet, thereby preventing the cabinet from being scratched, deformed, etc. The notch 2012 can be compatible with cabinets with or without feet.

[0039] When the cabinet needs to be removed from the pallet assembly, use a forklift to lift the entire product from the side. First, remove the connecting screws between the front and rear doors of the cabinet and the pallet assembly, then remove the connecting screws on the support assembly 10, and use a forklift to lift the cabinet. At this time, the support assembly 10 is separated from the pad assembly 20 and falls to the ground. Figure 8 shown.

[0040] After using a forklift to move the cabinet to a suitable position, place it directly on the ground. The limit blocks 202 on the pad assembly 20 can effectively prevent the cabinet from sliding left and right, thereby avoiding the risk of tipping over. Since the limit blocks 202 on the pad assembly 20 are higher than the thickness of the forklift arm, the forklift arm can be withdrawn normally. At this time, the cabinet is supported by the limit blocks 202 in the middle of both sides.

[0041] Afterwards, the cabinet can be supported manually, the pad assembly 20 on one side of the cabinet can be removed, and the pad assembly 20 can be taken away. At this time, the cabinet will gradually tilt until the bottom of the cabinet touches the ground, and then the pad assembly 20 on the other side of the cabinet can be removed, and the pad assembly 20 can be taken away in the same way, and then the cabinet can be gradually straightened until the cabinet completely falls on the ground. In this way, in the process of removing the cabinet from the pallet assembly, no other tools are required, and no manpower is required to push the cabinet. Only manpower is needed to assist the cabinet to land in the last step, which effectively reduces the difficulty of operation, reduces construction costs, and reduces the risk of cabinet tipping or damage.

[0042] The present application also provides a pallet assembly such as Fig. 9 As shown, the pallet assembly includes: at least two support assemblies 10; the support assembly 10 includes a first connecting plate 101; a first pillar 103 arranged on the bottom surface of the first end of the first connecting plate 101; a second pillar 104 arranged on the bottom surface of the second end of the first connecting plate 101; at least two pad assemblies 20; the pad assembly 20 includes a pad 201 and a stopper 202; the stopper 202 is arranged at a position on the bottom surface of the pad 201 away from the end of the pad 201. The two first notches 1011 are located on the same side of both ends of the first connecting plate; the two ends of the pad 201 include two second notches 2011 on the same side; the first notch 1011 and the second notch 2011 are clamped to form a third notch 3022; the first pillar 103 and the second pillar 104 are provided with grooves at positions corresponding to the third notch 3022. In this way, after the pallet assembly is disassembled, the side of the cabinet is the support assembly, and the front and rear doors of the cabinet are the pad assembly, which also allows the forklift to fork the entire product from the front and rear doors or the side. Since the forklift is forked on the pallet assembly, it will not directly contact the bottom of the cabinet, which can effectively protect the cabinet from scratches, deformation and other damages. And it can be compatible with cabinets with or without feet.

[0043] It is understandable that the pallet assembly in the embodiment of the present application can be made of a variety of materials, for example, solid wood materials such as pine, paper materials such as honeycomb paperboard, plastics such as high-density polyethylene, metals such as aluminum alloy, or other materials. The embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0044] The utility model further provides a cabinet, comprising: a cabinet body and the pallet assembly described in the above optional implementation manner; the pallet assembly is arranged at the bottom of the cabinet body.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the cabinet is connected to the pallet assembly by bolts, so that the pallet assembly can be easily removed from the cabinet after transportation is completed.

[0046] The above are only specific implementations of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
