Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] The following combination Figures 1-11 The material box structure and the tray assembly of the embodiment of the present invention are described.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a material box structure, including:

[0040] The side panel 1 and the bottom panel 2 are provided with the side panel 1 around the periphery of the bottom panel 2 to form a receiving cavity 3 with an open side; a through hole 21 is provided on the bottom panel 2, and the through hole 21 forms a channel for lifting the material in the receiving cavity 3; a trough 11 is provided circumferentially on the top surface of the side panel 1, and a limiting protrusion 22 is provided near the edge of the bottom surface of the bottom panel 2, and the trough 11 and the limiting protrusion 22 cooperate to realize the stacking of adjacent material box structures; wherein, the trough 11 is an outwardly inclined inclined surface, and the side surface of the limiting protrusion 22 is inclined inwardly. When the material box structures are stacked, the trough 11 plays a guiding role.

[0041] According to a material box structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the number of through holes 21 is two, and the two through holes 21 are symmetrically arranged with the center line of the bottom plate 2 as the symmetry axis. The through holes 21 can be designed into square, circular or other shapes as needed, and the area of ​​the through holes 21 can be adjusted as needed.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, a material box structure provided according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes: two limiting plates 4, which are arranged on two opposite side plates 1 in the accommodating chamber 3 to limit the material; when the volume of the material is smaller than the volume of the accommodating chamber 3, the limiting plates 4 are added to fill the gap between the material and the side plates 1 to achieve the purpose of limiting and fixing, and the limiting plates 4 are fixed to the side plates 1 by bolts;

[0043] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a material box structure is provided, which also includes: ribs 41, which are arranged on the side of the limiting plate 4 close to the material to prevent the material from moving. The ribs 41 are designed to match the shape of the material. Therefore, the number of ribs 41 can be one or more, and can be arranged horizontally or vertically. When there is a groove in the material, the ribs 41 can be inserted into the groove to further fix the material.

[0044] like Figure 4As shown, a material box structure provided according to an embodiment of the present invention also includes: a plurality of limit blocks 5, which are arranged at the joints of two adjacent side panels 1 in the accommodating cavity 3 to limit the material, and the limit blocks 5 are fixed to the side panels 1 by bolts; such limit blocks 5 are designed to accommodate smaller materials, and the length and width of the smaller materials are at a certain distance from the side panels 1. By arranging the limit blocks 5 at the joints of two adjacent side panels 1, the corners of the material can be fixed, thereby ensuring the stability of the material.

[0045] like Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a tray assembly, comprising:

[0046] The pallet body 6 and the above-mentioned material box structure, the upper surface of the pallet body 6 is circumferentially provided with a rib 63, and the lower surface of the pallet body 6 is provided with multiple limiting areas 64; the rib 63 surrounds and forms a placement area for accommodating multiple material box structures, and the rib 63 cooperates with the limiting protrusion 22 at the bottom of the material box structure, and each material box structure and the limiting area 64 are set in a one-to-one correspondence through the sink 11.

[0047] According to a pallet assembly provided by an embodiment of the present invention, at least two limiting areas 64 are provided on the lower surface of the pallet body 6, and the area of ​​the limiting area 64 corresponds to the open area of ​​the material box structure; wherein, all the limiting areas 64 have the same area, or include limiting areas 64 of at least two areas.

[0048] like Figure 8 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the number of the limiting areas 64 is 12, including two types of limiting areas 64, including 6 small-area limiting areas 64 arranged in the middle, and 3 large-area limiting areas 64 respectively arranged on both sides of the small-area limiting areas 64. The area of ​​the large-area limiting area 64 is twice that of the small-area limiting area 64. Such a distribution of the limiting areas 64 can be applied to three types of material box structures with different opening areas.

[0049] like Figure 9 As shown, in the first arrangement of the material box structure, the opening of the material box structure is matched with a large area limiting area 64 and a small area limiting area 64, with a total of three rows and two columns, so that six material box structures can be placed on a pallet body 6;

[0050] like Figure 10 As shown, in the second arrangement of the material box structure, the opening of the material box structure cooperates with a large-area limiting area 64 or two small-area limiting areas 64, with a total of three rows and three columns. Therefore, nine material box structures can be placed on a pallet body 6;

[0051] like Figure 11 As shown, the third arrangement of the material box structure is that the opening of the material box structure cooperates with a large-area limiting area 64 plus half of the large-area limiting area 64, or cooperates with two small-area limiting areas 64 plus two half-small-area limiting areas 64, with a total of two rows and three columns. Therefore, 6 material box structures can be placed on a pallet body 6; since the side panel 1 of the third material box structure is provided with a protrusion, each limiting area 64 is provided with a groove for cooperating with the protrusion.

[0052] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, according to a tray assembly provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the tray body 6 includes a first tray 61 and a second tray 62 that are buckled into each other, and the first tray 61 and the second tray 62 are detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​structure 65; such a setting is used for when the first tray 61 or the second tray 62 is damaged, the damaged tray can be removed and replaced separately without replacing the entire tray body 6, thereby reducing costs and increasing the flexibility of the tray body 6.

[0053] According to a pallet assembly provided by an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of reinforcement holes 66 are provided on the side of the pallet body 6, and reinforcement rods 67 are passed through the reinforcement holes 66. When the pallet assembly needs to carry heavier materials, its own strength may be insufficient, resulting in deformation or even damage. At this time, the reinforcement rods 67 can be passed through the reinforcement holes 66 to reinforce the structure of the pallet body 6.

[0054] According to a pallet assembly provided by an embodiment of the present invention, a chip slot 68 is provided on the side of the pallet body 6, and an RFID chip 69 is provided in the chip slot 68; the chip slot 68 also includes a cover body, which is fixed to the side of the pallet body 6 by bolts. Since the entire material loading process is unmanned and is completed entirely by unmanned equipment, it is necessary to install an RFID chip 69 on the side of the pallet body 6 for identity identification during the transportation of the pallet assembly.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, when using this embodiment: first determine the volume and shape of the material to be transported, select an appropriate material box structure according to the volume and shape of the material, and choose whether to install a limit plate 4 or a limit block 5 in the accommodating cavity 3 as needed. After the preparatory work is completed, put the material into the material box structure, and then stack the material boxes on the upper surface of the pallet body 6 in order. The number of stacking layers of the material box structure can be determined considering transportation requirements and stability factors. The open end of the material box structure is buckled with the pallet body 6 so that the open end of the material box structure is fixed with the limit area 64; then the assembled pallet assembly is loaded by a forklift, transported to the factory, unloaded and stored, and identity is identified by the RFID chip 69 on the pallet body 6. The unmanned transportation equipment transports the pallet assembly to the production line, and the manipulator on the production line separates the pallet body 6 and the material box structure. The material box structure enters the production line process, and the lifting mechanism pushes out the material in the accommodating cavity 3 through the through hole 21 to complete the loading. The material box structure that takes out the material will be stacked again on the pallet body 6. Through the above process, the traditional "production-packaging-transportation-unloading-warehousing-outbound-manual loading" process is transformed into the "production-automatic loading-automatic loading-automatic unloading-automatic warehouse-automatic outbound-automatic loading" process. The entire chain is unmanned, no waste is generated, and the pallet components can be recycled, which has strong economic efficiency and promotion prospects.
