[0035] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures and techniques are provided for purposes of illustration, not limitation, to facilitate a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid obscuring the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present application provides a pallet, which includes a pallet body 10 and a fence 20. The pallet body 10 has a first load-bearing surface (not shown) and a second load-bearing surface (not shown) opposite to each other in a first direction. The first load-bearing surface is provided with a holding area 10a for placing goods. The fence 20 is provided on the first load-bearing surface and is located outside the holding area 10a to block the goods placed on the holding area 10a. The fence 20 includes two parallel first panels 21 and two parallel second panels 22. One end face of the first panel 21 contacts one of the second panels 22, and the other end face of the first panel 21 is movably connected to the other second panel 22, so that the first panel 21 can rotate around the second panel 22.

[0037] The angle at which the first enclosure 21 rotates around the second enclosure 22 is between 0° and 270°, and when the first enclosure 21 rotates 270°, the first enclosure 21 and the second enclosure 22 overlap.

[0038] Here, it should be noted that the "first direction" mentioned above is a direction set for the convenience of describing the relative position of the fence 20 and the tray body 10. Figure 1 The X direction in .

[0039] It should be noted that the pallet body 10 may include, but is not limited to, a square, a circle, or other shapes, as long as it can carry the goods. Optionally, this embodiment is described by taking the pallet body 10 as a square as an example.

[0040] For example, in order to enable the first enclosure 21 to rotate around the second enclosure 22 as the axis, the movable connection between the first enclosure 21 and the second enclosure 22 can be made with the help of the rotating component 30 in the following embodiment, or it can be made by using the components commonly used in current technology to realize the rotation of the first enclosure 21 around the second enclosure 22, without limitation. In addition, since the first enclosure 21 can rotate around the second enclosure 22, the first enclosure 21 and the pallet body 10 adopt a detachable connection method, which can be specifically a locking method such as buckling and clamping. For example: when the goods are placed in the holding area 10a and need to be transferred, the first enclosure 21 is used to block the goods, and the first enclosure 21 needs to be locked on the pallet body 10 to prevent the first enclosure 21 from opening automatically during the transfer process, causing the goods to fall from the pallet body 10; when the goods placed on the holding area 10a need to be removed, the first enclosure 21 is disengaged from the locking with the pallet body 10, and the first enclosure 21 is rotated outward so that the first enclosure 21 contacts the blocking of the goods, thereby enabling the goods placed on the holding area 10a to be taken out. It should be noted that in order to prevent the goods placed on the supporting area 10a from falling out from the gap between the first enclosure 21 and the pallet body 10, the end of the first enclosure 21 close to the pallet body 10 contacts the first load-bearing surface of the pallet body 10.

[0041] Exemplarily, the second enclosure 22 and the pallet body 10 are detachably connected, specifically by bolt fixation, for example: the fixing plate is pressed against the second enclosure 22 and the pallet body 10, and then the fixing plate is locked with bolts, so that the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the second enclosure 22 and the pallet body 10 respectively, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the second enclosure 22 and the pallet body 10; when the second enclosure 22 needs to be disassembled, it only needs to unscrew the bolts on the fixing plate to realize disassembly, which has a simple structure, is easy to disassemble and assemble, and does not take up space.

[0042] For example, the first panel 21 can be rotated around the second panel 22 to facilitate opening or closing of the first panel 21. Compared with the traditional detachable method, the time spent on disassembling and assembling the first panel 21 can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of loading and unloading goods. In addition, the angle at which the first panel 21 can rotate around the second panel 22 can reach a range of 0° to 270°, which can achieve a large angle of opening and closing, making it more convenient for workers to load and unload goods. For example, when the goods in the holding area 10a need to be unloaded, the first panel 21 is rotated 270° around the second panel 22 so that the first panel 21 rotates to a position overlapping with the second panel 22, avoiding affecting the workers during the unloading process.

[0043] From the above, it can be seen that the pallet of the present application is provided with a fence 20 on the first supporting surface of the pallet body 10 so as to block the goods placed in the holding area 10a. Compared with the conventional pallet without the fence 20, it can prevent the supported goods from collapsing and causing damage during the transportation process. The fence 20 of the pallet is formed by connecting a first enclosure 21 and a second enclosure 22, and the first enclosure 21 and the second enclosure 22 are movably connected so that the first enclosure 21 can rotate around the second enclosure 22 within the range of 0° to 270°, realizing a large angle of opening and closing, which is convenient for workers to load and unload goods. At the same time, compared with the conventional detachable method, it can reduce the time spent on disassembling and assembling the first enclosure 21, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of loading and unloading goods.

[0044] In one possible embodiment, the first enclosure 21 includes a first plate body 211 and a second plate body 212, and an end face of the first plate body 211 away from the second plate body 212 is movably connected to a second enclosure 22, and an end face of the second plate body 212 away from the first plate body 211 is movably connected to another second enclosure 22, so that the first enclosure 21 and the second enclosure 22 rotate around their respective second enclosures 22, and the end faces of the first plate body 211 and the second plate body 212 close to each other are in contact.

[0045] Exemplarily, the first enclosure 21 includes a first plate body 211 and a second plate body 212, and the end surfaces of the first plate body 211 and the second plate body 212 that are away from each other are movably connected to two parallel second enclosures 22, so that the first plate body 211 and the second plate body 212 can rotate around their respective second enclosures 22, respectively. It can be selected to open only the first plate body 211 or the second plate body 212 as needed, or both the first plate body 211 and the second plate body 212 can be opened. For example: if the size of the transported goods is large or in order to speed up the loading and unloading efficiency of the goods, it can be selected to rotate the first plate body 211 and the second plate body 212 outward so that both the first plate body 211 and the second plate body 212 are opened.

[0046] In a possible embodiment, the end surfaces of the first plate body 211 and the second plate body 212 that are close to each other are connected to abutment bars 50, and the abutment bars 50 are provided with fixed columns 60 along their length direction. The fixed columns 60 can telescopically penetrate the abutment bars 50, and the contact positions of the first bearing surface and the first plate body 211 and the second plate body 212 are provided with slots; wherein, when the first enclosure 21 rotates to a position in contact with the first bearing surface, the lower end of the fixed column 60 is inserted into the slot.

[0047] When the pallet 211 and the second plate 212 are in contact with each other, the first plate 211 and the second plate 212 are locked to the pallet 211 and the second plate 212.

[0048] In one possible embodiment, a retaining slot 80 is provided at the top of the end surfaces of the first plate 211 and the second plate 212 that are adjacent to each other. A retaining post 70 that is perpendicular to the retaining post 60 is connected to the top of the retaining post 60. When the lower end of the retaining post 60 is inserted into the slot, the end of the retaining post 70 that is away from the retaining post 60 snaps into the retaining slot 80. Thus, after the lower end of the retaining post 60 is inserted into the slot, the retaining post 70 snaps into the retaining slot 80, preventing the retaining post 60 from further downward movement and thus preventing the retaining post 60 from falling out of the abutment bar 50.

[0049] In a possible embodiment, the pallet also includes a rotating assembly 30 arranged at the connection between the first enclosure 21 and the second enclosure 22, the rotating assembly 30 includes at least one rotating hinge 31, the rotating hinge 31 includes a first connecting frame 312, a second connecting frame 313 and a rotating frame 311, the two ends of the rotating frame 311 are respectively rotatably connected to the first connecting frame 312 and the second connecting frame 313, the first connecting frame 312 is fixedly connected to the first enclosure 21, and the second connecting frame 313 is fixedly connected to the second enclosure 22.

[0050] For example, the first connecting frame 312 and the second connecting frame 313 are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating frame 311 for rotation, and then the first connecting frame 312 and the second connecting frame 313 are respectively fixedly connected to the first panel 21 and the second panel 22, and the second panel 22 is fixed to the pallet body 10 so that the second connecting frame 313 cannot rotate, and only the rotating frame 311 rotates relative to the second connecting frame 313. Since the first connecting frame 312 can rotate relative to the rotating frame 311, the first panel 21 can be rotated at a large angle (0° to 270°). The structure is simple and convenient for workers to load and unload goods. In addition, the way the first connecting frame 312 and the second connecting frame 313 are connected to the first panel 21 and the second panel 22 can be fixed by bolts, screws, etc., which is not limited to this.

[0051] In one possible embodiment, the first connecting frame 312 extends toward the surface of the rotating frame 311 to have two first connecting plates 314 spaced apart from each other. The two first connecting plates 314 define a first mounting position 316. One end of the rotating frame 311 extends into the first mounting position 316 and is rotatably connected to the first connecting plates 314 via a rotating shaft 318. The second connecting frame 313 extends toward the surface of the rotating frame 311 to have two second connecting plates 315 spaced apart from each other. The two second connecting plates 315 define a second mounting position 317. The other end of the rotating frame 311 extends into the second mounting position 317 and is rotatably connected to the second connecting plates 315 via a rotating shaft 318.

[0052] In one possible embodiment, the rotating assembly 30 further includes a connecting bar 32, and two rotating hinges 31 are fixed to both ends of the connecting bar 32, one end of each of the two rotating hinges 31 is connected to the first enclosure 21, and the other end is connected to the second enclosure 22, so that the first enclosure 21 can rotate relative to the second enclosure 22. In this way, by connecting the two rotating hinges 31 with a connecting block, the problem of the first enclosure 21 opening and closing being unstable due to inconsistent rotation of the two rotating hinges 31 can be effectively reduced. It should be noted that the two rotating hinges 31 can be first fixed to the two ends of the connecting bar 32 to form a whole, and then the two rotating hinges 31 can be connected to the first enclosure 21 and the second enclosure 22 respectively.

[0053] In one possible embodiment, a first receiving cavity is provided on the end surface where the first enclosure 21 and the second enclosure 22 are movably connected, and the first connecting frame 312 is fixed in the first receiving cavity; a second receiving cavity is provided on the end surface of the second enclosure 22, and the second connecting frame 313 is fixed in the second receiving cavity.

[0054] In one possible embodiment, the pallet further includes a plurality of support bars 40, which are spaced apart and connected to the second support surface. Thus, by using the plurality of support bars 40 spaced apart and connected to the second support surface, a cavity can be formed between adjacent support bars 40, facilitating the subsequent transfer of the pallet using a forklift.

[0055] In one possible implementation, the fence 20 is in a mesh shape.

[0056] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
