Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of logistics equipment, and in particular to a cargo pallet capable of improving the safety factor of transportation. Background Art

[0002] When forklifts carry cargo, they typically use their forks to directly lift the load to the destination, or use flat pallets as carriers for transporting the cargo. However, when transporting smooth, cylindrical, high-center-of-gravity, or stacked cargo, the forklift process often presents significant safety risks, such as misalignment, slipping, falling, or even toppling. These hazards can not only damage the cargo but also cause personal injury, resulting in immeasurable losses.

[0003] While forklifts perform the crucial task of safely transporting cargo, they present significantly increased operational difficulty and risk when handling cargo with smooth surfaces, cylindrical shapes, uneven bottoms, high centers of gravity, or similar characteristics. These diverse cargo characteristics place greater demands on forklift stability and maneuverability during transport, challenging the operator's skills and experience. To address these issues, most companies typically use ropes or similar means to securely tie cargo to the forklift's tines or front frame. While this method can address the problem to a certain extent, whether the cargo is transported directly by the forks or transferred on a standard flat pallet, the rope's position is insufficiently restrained during the tying process. This often results in the rope shifting during transport. Once the rope shifts, it loosens, causing the bundled cargo to become loose or even fall off. This situation not only fails to eliminate safety hazards during transport, but can also increase potential risks by mistaking cargo for secure ties and reducing safety awareness. If the rope becomes loose due to misalignment, it can not only damage the cargo but also potentially cause serious damage to equipment or personal injury. Therefore, to address this issue, a more reliable and effective bundling solution is urgently needed to ensure the absolute safety of goods during transportation.

[0004] Flat pallets, commonly used by forklifts, play an important role in many cargo transportation and warehousing scenarios due to their simple structural design and wide versatility. When flat pallets and forklifts work together, they can significantly improve the efficiency of cargo loading and unloading, achieving fast and efficient logistics turnover. However, it is worth noting that although the combination of flat pallets and forklifts performs well in most cases, the use of forklifts is limited in certain specific operating environments, such as in confined spaces. In these scenarios, the advantages of flat pallets in short-distance cargo transshipment are difficult to fully realize, and their convenience and efficiency are greatly reduced.

[0005] Wooden pallets, a staple in the logistics and warehousing industries, have gained widespread adoption due to their durability and affordability. However, they also have some significant drawbacks. First, they are susceptible to moisture, mold, and insect damage. These factors not only shorten the pallets' lifespan but also limit their use in certain environments. Once exposed to moisture, mold, or insect damage, wooden pallets are difficult to dispose of, resulting in a low recycling rate. Furthermore, environmental concerns are a major weakness for wooden pallets. Their production requires the felling of numerous trees, depleting precious forest resources.

[0006] Patent publication number CN115489846A discloses a multifunctional transport pallet, which includes a pallet body and small grooves arranged at the bottom of the pallet body. However, these small grooves are used to cooperate with forklift inserts of different spacing and numbers. When tying goods with ropes, bolts on the outside of the goods need to be used as fixing points, so additional bolts need to be tightened on the pallet body, and corresponding bolts need to be additionally equipped. The bolts are also easy to fall off and lose. The rope tied to the bolts is unreliable and weak, and is easy to slip, resulting in poor reliability during tying.

[0007] Patent publication number CN217754589U discloses a lace pallet for center-strap packaging of goods. This pallet utilizes a lace plate mounted on the main body of the pallet. During use, the lashing cord is threaded through the space between the lace plate and the main body of the pallet. The lashing cord (or strap) is then secured to the pallet using grooves on the edge of the lace plate, facilitating lashing of goods from all directions. Because the lace plate is located on the main body of the pallet and the grooves are formed around the lace plate, the space at the top of the pallet body cannot be fully utilized, resulting in some wasted space. Utility Model Content

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a cargo pallet that can improve the safety factor of transportation includes a pallet body, the pallet body is rectangular, the material of the pallet body is iron, and the top surface of the pallet body is flat. Pads 13 are distributed on the bottom surface of the pallet body near the edge. The pads 13 are all rectangular. There are nine pads 13 in total, and the nine pads 13 are distributed on the edge and center of the pallet body. There are three pads 13 on each edge of the pallet body, and one pad 13 in the center. Grooves 11 are provided on the bottom surface of the pallet body. The grooves 11 are parallel to each other and are connected to the side surfaces of the pallet body. A rectangular anti-slip pad 5 is attached to the top surface of the pallet body. The anti-slip pad 5 is made of rubber.

[0035] The cargo is placed on the pallet body and then tied with ropes. During tying, the ropes pass through the grooves 11, thereby being confined within the grooves 11. This ensures that after the cargo is tied, the ropes are firmly fixed and their position will not shift due to sliding on the pallet body, thereby ensuring that the cargo remains secure throughout the entire transportation process. At the same time, the upper surface of the pallet body is covered with anti-slip mats 5. This design increases the friction between the bottom surface of the cargo and the pallet body, improving the stability of the forklift when transferring cargo, ensuring that the cargo is firmly fixed on the pallet body, and thus ensuring the safety and stability of the forklift during cargo handling.

[0036] The pallet is constructed from carbon steel profiles, or stainless steel in specific applications. Compared to traditional wooden pallets, it is more durable and easier to maintain, significantly improving its durability. By using metal, this pallet far exceeds the lifespan of wooden and plastic pallets, ensuring long-term use without damage. Furthermore, the metal construction makes this pallet 100% recyclable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly, minimizing its impact and aligning with the principles of modern green logistics.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that:

[0039] The pallet body includes a support frame 12 with a rectangular frame structure welded from profiles and a horizontal rectangular load-bearing frame 1 arranged on the top of the support frame 12. The support frame 12 and the load-bearing frame 1 are rotatably connected, the pad 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 12, the groove 11 is arranged on the bottom surface of the support frame 12, the top surface of the load-bearing frame 1 is covered with a thin steel plate 7, and the anti-slip pad 5 is arranged on the top surface of the thin steel plate 7.

[0040] When stacking goods on the top surface of the carrier 1, the carrier 1 can be rotated according to the specific conditions on site and the position of the goods on the carrier 1, so as to facilitate the stacking of goods on the carrier 1. For example, when stacking boxes on the carrier 1, they can be stacked on one side of the carrier 1 first, and then the carrier 1 can be rotated and the boxes can be stacked on the top surface of the carrier 1 near the other side, making the stacking of the boxes more convenient.

[0041] Similarly, when unloading goods from the carrier 1, the carrier 1 can be rotated without rotating the support frame 12, so that the goods can be oriented in a direction convenient for unloading. Therefore, providing a rotatable carrier 1 can make loading and unloading of goods more convenient and improve loading and unloading efficiency.

[0042] The support frame 12 has two opposite sides welded with vertical lower sleeves 10 near the four corners, and the side of the carrier frame 1 has a vertical upper sleeve 4 welded above each lower sleeve 10. The upper sleeve 4 and the corresponding lower sleeve 10 are coaxial, and pins 3 are inserted into the upper sleeve 4 and the lower sleeve 10.

[0043] After the latch 3 is pulled out, the carrier 1 can rotate on the support frame 12. After the latch is inserted into the upper sleeve 4 and the lower sleeve 10, the carrier 1 is locked on the support frame 12, thereby preventing the carrier 1 from accidentally rotating during loading, unloading and transportation of goods, which may cause collision with the goods or injury to the operators.

[0044] Vertical cylindrical lower casings 10 are welded to the bottom of the support frame 12 near the four corners. Casters 9 are positioned beneath these lower casings 10, with the top rod of each caster 9 inserted into the corresponding lower casing 10. When the rod of each caster 9 is inserted into the lower casing 10, the bottom surface of the pad 13 is higher than the bottom of the caster 9. With the casters 9 inserted, the pallet can be transformed into a wheeled pallet, greatly simplifying the cargo transfer process and enhancing the flexibility of the present invention, making it suitable for diverse transportation needs.

[0045] A hook 4 is welded to the outside of each lower casing 10. In a transportation scenario with elevation difference, or in a working condition where a forklift cannot enter due to a narrow space, the safe transportation of goods can be achieved in conjunction with the driving, which improves the practicality of the present invention and enables it to meet diverse transportation needs.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that:

[0048] The bottom surface of the carrier frame 1 is fixedly connected to a circular raceway. The support frame 12 is provided with an annular arrangement of bull's eye bearings 15. Each of the bull's eye bearings 15 is fixedly connected to the support frame 12 and rests against the raceway. The bull's eye bearing 15 is a special bearing in which the balls can roll in any direction.

[0049] The raceway includes a concentrically arranged outer raceway 6 and an inner raceway 14. Both the outer raceway 6 and the inner raceway 14 are formed by bending angle iron into a ring shape to prevent the bull's eye bearing 15 from accidentally sliding off the inner raceway 14 or the outer raceway 6. The support frame 12 is welded with an annular outer mounting seat 17 below the outer raceway 6, and the support frame 12 is welded with an annular inner mounting seat 16 below the inner raceway 14. Both the outer mounting seat 17 and the inner mounting seat 16 are made by welding channel steel. The outer raceway 6 and the inner raceway 14 are welded to the bottom surface of the carrier frame 1.

[0050] There are two groups of bull's eye bearings 15, each arranged in a ring along the inner raceway 14 and the outer raceway 6. The inner group has four bearings, and the outer group has eight bearings. The two groups of bull's eye bearings 15 are mounted on corresponding outer mounting seats 17 and inner mounting seats 16, respectively, and the two groups of bull's eye bearings 15 respectively abut against the corresponding inner raceway 14 and outer raceway 6.

[0051] The outer raceway 6, the inner raceway 14 and the bull's eye bearing 15 not only realize the rotation connection between the carrier frame 1 and the support frame 12, but also make the carrier frame 1 more stable and less likely to shake when rotating on the support frame 12, and also increase the bearing capacity.

[0052] The above-mentioned embodiments are described in a relatively detailed and specific manner, expressing preferred embodiments of the present invention. They are only used to illustrate the technical ideas and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. However, they are not limited to the present invention alone, and the patent scope of the present invention cannot be limited solely by these embodiments. That is, any equivalent changes or modifications made to the spirit disclosed by the present invention, for researchers or technicians in this field, without departing from the structure of the present invention, local improvements within the system and changes and conversions between subsystems, etc., are still within the patent scope of the present invention.
