Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turnover box technology, and in particular to a pallet that facilitates material handling by a robotic arm. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, electronic components and other products are generally stored in blister trays after production to facilitate storage and transportation.

[0003] Currently, when pallets are stacked on top of each other, they are often tightly interlocked, so manual separation is usually required. This is cumbersome and makes it difficult for robotic arms to lift and transport the pallets to the processing location. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pallet that facilitates material handling by a robotic arm in order to solve the problem that pallets are too tightly interlocked when stacked, making it difficult to separate them and causing the robotic arm to pick up the pallets.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a tray for easy material handling by a robotic arm, comprising: a tray body, wherein the tray body is provided with a recessed receiving groove, and slots are respectively provided at both ends of the tray body, the slots being arranged along the width direction of the tray body, and a first step surface and a second step surface are provided on the tray body, wherein the first step surface is located above the second step surface.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] A support plate is provided inside the slot, and the support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tray body.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The tray body is provided with a plurality of recessed positioning grooves, which are connected to the receiving groove.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] Several of the positioning slots are arranged in an array on the tray body.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The bottom of the tray body is provided with several clearance slots, which are located between the two positioning slots.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The tray body is provided with two anti-fool holes.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The tray body has four through holes.

[0018] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: when pallets are stacked, the bottom of the second step surface of the upper pallet is placed on the top of the first step surface of the lower pallet, and a gap is left between the second step surface and the first step surface, so that the pallets will not be too tightly stuck to each other, and the bottom of the slot is located on the surface of the pallet. In this way, when the robot arm picks up the pallet, the robot arm can reach into the slot to lift and take the pallet away without affecting the stability of the lower pallet, thus achieving the purpose of easy separation. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of this utility model and should not be regarded as a limitation on the scope. For those skilled in the art, other related drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a tray that facilitates material handling by a robotic arm, comprising:

[0028] The pallet body 1 has a recessed receiving groove 2 and slots 3 at both ends. The slots 3 are arranged along the width direction of the pallet body 1. The pallet body 1 has a first step surface 4 and a second step surface 5, with the first step surface 4 located above the second step surface 5.

[0029] A support plate 6 is provided inside the slot 3, and the support plate 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pallet body 1. The support plate can improve the support strength at the pallet slot, making it less likely for the pallets to collapse when stacked.

[0030] The tray body 1 has several recessed positioning grooves 7, which are connected to the receiving groove 2. The positioning grooves are used to position the product, making the product more stable and less prone to displacement when the tray is moved, thus facilitating subsequent material handling and processing.

[0031] Several of the positioning slots 7 are arranged in an array on the tray body 1. The positioning slots are arranged in a row.

[0032] The bottom of the pallet body 1 is provided with several clearance grooves 8, which are located between two positioning grooves 7. This can reduce the amount of pallet manufacturing material used, reduce costs, and also serve the purpose of positioning.

[0033] The pallet body 1 is provided with two anti-fool holes 9. These can remind workers to stack the pallets in the same direction.

[0034] The pallet body 1 has four through holes 10. Each side of the pallet body has one through hole, and ropes can be threaded through the through holes to secure the pallets after they are stacked.

[0035] Working principle: When pallets are stacked, the bottom of the second step surface of the upper pallet is placed on the top of the first step surface of the lower pallet. There is a gap between the second step surface and the first step surface, so that the pallets will not be too tightly stuck to each other. The bottom of the slot is located on the surface of the pallet. In this way, when the robot arm picks up the pallet, it can reach into the slot to lift and remove the pallet without affecting the stability of the lower pallet, thus achieving the purpose of easy separation.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
