[0034] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the material tray structure 10 provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a tray 1, a support member 4 and a reinforcing plate 2. The tray 1 is used to carry the material 20, and the reinforcing plate 2 is installed on the edge of the tray 1.
[0036] The support member 4 is located at the bottom of the tray 1 and is in contact with the tray 1. The support member 4 is used to support the tray 1.
[0037] The tray structure 10 provided in this embodiment of the utility model has a reinforcing plate 2 installed on the edge of the pallet 1 to strengthen the pallet 1 and reduce the deformation of the tray structure 10. At the same time, a support member 4 is provided at the bottom of the pallet 1 to further support the pallet 1 and reduce the deformation of the pallet 1 and the tray structure 10.
[0038] The support member 4 and the tray 1 are in frictional contact; that is, the support member 4 and the tray 1 only make contact, without any connecting or limiting structure between them. Therefore, as... Figure 4 As shown, when the pallet structure 10 is not supported by the support member 4, the pallet 1 and the cutter head 6 on it can be placed together with the material 20 into the material box 30 for storage.
[0039] Furthermore, the hopper 30 may be equipped with multi-layer roller assemblies 301, each roller assembly 301 being able to support a pallet 1.
[0040] In one embodiment, the tray 1 is a bakelite board, specifically, the bakelite material of the tray 1 is PF (phenolformaldehyde plastic).
[0041] The reinforcing plate 2 is made of stainless steel to effectively strengthen the support plate 1.
[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the tray 1 is a rectangular plate and has a first edge 11, a second edge 12, a third edge 13 and a fourth edge 14 connected end to end. The first edge 11 and the third edge 13 are arranged opposite each other along the length direction of the tray 1, and the second edge 12 and the fourth edge 14 are arranged opposite each other along the width direction of the tray 1.
[0043] At this time, the reinforcing plate 2 can be installed on the edge of the long side of the tray 1, that is, the second edge 12 and / or the fourth edge 14, to reinforce the tray 1 along the length direction of the tray 1.
[0044] Figures 1 to 3 The illustrated embodiment shows a reinforcement plate 2 installed on both the second edge 12 and the fourth edge 14. In other embodiments, reinforcement plates may be installed only on the second edge or only on the fourth edge.
[0045] In an embodiment not shown in the figure, a reinforcing plate may also be installed on the edge of the wide side of the tray, i.e., the first edge and / or the third edge, to reinforce the tray along the width direction of the tray.
[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, when the reinforcing plate 2 is installed on the edge of the long side of the pallet 1, the length of the reinforcing plate 2 can be less than the length of the long side of the pallet 1, so as to avoid the reinforcing plate 2 extending beyond the pallet 1 along the length direction and affecting the transfer.
[0047] In addition, the length of the reinforcing plate 2 can be set to be at least half the length of the tray 1 to effectively reinforce the tray 1.
[0048] When the reinforcing plate 2 is installed on the edge of the wide side of the pallet 1, the length of the reinforcing plate 2 can be less than the length of the long side of the pallet 1, so as to avoid the reinforcing plate 2 extending beyond the pallet 1 along the length direction and affecting the transfer.
[0049] In one embodiment, the reinforcing plate 2 may include multiple plate segments, which are respectively installed on the edge of the pallet 1 and are arranged at intervals along the edge of the pallet 1 to reinforce the pallet 1 from multiple points. In this case, since the multiple plate segments of the reinforcing plate 2 are spaced apart from each other, the weight of the reinforcing plate 2 can be minimized while reinforcing the pallet 1, so that the tray structure 10 can achieve lightweighting while reducing deformation.
[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the edge of the pallet 1 is provided with an installation groove 15, and the reinforcing plate 2 is installed in the installation groove 15 so that the reinforcing plate 2 is installed in an embedded manner on the edge of the pallet 1, making the installation of the reinforcing plate 2 stable, and at the same time reducing the volume of the tray structure 10.
[0051] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the tray structure 10 also includes a connector 5, through which the reinforcing plate 2 is connected to the support plate 1. Specifically, the connector 5 can be a screw, and the connection between the reinforcing plate 2 and the support plate 1 is achieved by tightening the screw.
[0052] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the tray structure 10 also includes a fixing member 3, which is installed on the reinforcing plate 2 and is used to connect with a fixing mechanism. This fixing mechanism is an external structure used to temporarily fix the tray structure 10. During the transfer of the tray structure 10, the temporary fixing of the tray structure 10 can be achieved through the connection and cooperation between the fixing member 3 and the fixing mechanism.
[0053] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support member 4 includes a first support plate 41 and a second support plate 42. The first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 are spaced apart along the length direction of the support plate 1, and the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 are in contact with the support plate 1 respectively.
[0054] By setting the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 at intervals along the length of the support plate 1, stable support is provided for different positions of the support plate 1 along the length of the support plate 1.
[0055] In one embodiment, the first support plate 41 is made of PE (Polyethylene) and the second support plate 42 is made of PE (Polyethylene).
[0056] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 respectively support the two short edges of the support plate 1, making the support more stable.
[0057] Furthermore, when there are two reinforcing plates 2, and the two reinforcing plates 2 are installed on opposite sides of the pallet 1 along the width direction of the pallet 1, the two short edges of the pallet 1 are supported by the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 respectively, which makes the pallet structure 10 more stable as a whole and reduces deformation.
[0058] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the material 20 is a cutting tool. The material tray structure 10 also includes a cutter head 6, which is used to support the cutting tool.
[0059] The tray 1 is provided with a positioning pin 7 on the side facing away from the support member 4, and the cutter head 6 is provided with a positioning hole that matches the shape of the positioning pin 7. The positioning pin 6 can be inserted into the positioning hole to position the cutter head 6 on the tray 1.
[0060] In one embodiment, the cutter head 6 is further provided with a magnetic attractor, which enables the cutter head 6 to be magnetically attracted to the processing platform so as to place the cutting tools on the cutter head 6 on the processing platform for the cutting tools to process the material.
[0061] To verify the deformation reduction effect of the tray structure 10 provided in this embodiment of the present invention, electrostatic analysis can be performed on the existing tray structure (which only has bakelite board and support plate, but no reinforcing plate) and the tray structure 10 provided in this embodiment of the present invention.
[0062] During electrostatic analysis, the dimensions of the bakelite board of the existing tray structure and the tray 1 (also made of bakelite board) in this utility model can both be 684×293×12mm. The dimensions of the support plate of the existing tray structure and each support plate (first support plate 41 and second support plate 42) in this utility model can both be 303×67×8mm. The dimensions of the reinforcing plate 2 (made of stainless steel) in this utility model can be 649×11.6×8mm.
[0063] Then, both the existing tray structure bakelite board and the pallet 1 in this invention are loaded with 15KG of items.
[0064] The following data can be obtained after static analysis:
[0065] For the existing tray structure: the maximum overall deformation is 8518μm, and the maximum overall stress is 7.965MPa.
[0066] For the tray structure 10 provided in this embodiment of the present invention: the maximum overall deformation is 1851 μm, and the maximum overall stress is 32.98 MPa. The maximum deformation of the pallet 1 is 1849 μm, and the maximum stress of the pallet 1 is 1.218 MPa.
[0067] Based on the static analysis data above, it can be seen that after optimization, the maximum sag of the material tray structure 10 is reduced from 8.518 mm to 1.851 mm; the stress at the optimized pallet 1 is reduced from 7.965 MPa to 1.218 MPa, and the overall stress is 32.98 MPa, which is nearly four times higher than before optimization. The stress is mainly concentrated on the reinforcing plate 2. However, due to the high yield strength of the reinforcing plate 2 (≥205 MPa), the deformation of the whole structure and pallet 1 is reduced.
[0068] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
