Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to tray technical field, concretely relates to a multifunctional tray. BACKGROUND

[0002] In modern logistics and supply chain management, as a basic transportation and storage tool, trays are widely used in various industries, whether it is food, medicine, electronic products, or industrial equipment and parts. Trays are indispensable carriers. With the growth of global trade and the diversification of logistics demand, trays not only need to have high strength and durability, but also need to be flexible to adapt to different transportation and storage needs. For example, in the food industry, trays need to be easy to clean and disinfect; in electronic product transportation, trays need to be anti-static and impact-resistant; in industrial equipment transportation, trays need to have high carrying capacity. In the face of such diverse needs, traditional one-piece molded trays are not flexible enough in terms of adaptability.

[0003] Most of the trays on the market are designed to be one-piece injection molded. This design has its inherent advantages in manufacturing and use, such as high strength, stable structure, and relatively low cost. However, one-piece molded trays have obvious shortcomings when faced with diverse application needs. For example, existing one-piece molded plastic trays cannot be adjusted flexibly according to different types of goods and environmental requirements. The structure of one-piece molded trays is fixed, but it cannot be adjusted according to the different characteristics of the goods (such as the need for ventilation, drainage, and anti-slip). For example, the food industry needs well-ventilated trays to maintain freshness, while electronic products need flat trays to prevent sliding and damage and wear. Trays that cannot be adjusted often cannot meet these targeted needs, resulting in low efficiency. When a part of the one-piece molded tray is damaged, the entire tray usually needs to be replaced, which not only wastes resources but also increases operating costs. In particular, in high-frequency use environments, the probability of tray damage is higher, and frequent whole replacement significantly increases maintenance costs. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a multifunctional tray that can be adjusted flexibly according to different types of goods and environmental requirements, avoiding the need for whole replacement when the tray is damaged, which increases maintenance costs.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model is implemented by the following technical solutions:

[0006] A multifunctional tray is designed, including a base and a panel body.

[0007] A support column is fixedly connected to the surface of the base, and the panel body is detachably connected to the other end of the support column. A socket for a forklift rod to pass through is formed between the panel body and the base on one side of the support column.

[0008] The main body of the panel is a plate-like structure with several hollowed-out rectangular holes on the surface, or it is a planar plate-like structure.

[0009] Optionally, the panel body includes a perforated plate, the surface of which has a plurality of hollowed-out first rectangular through holes corresponding to the support column, and the surface of which has a plurality of hollowed-out second rectangular through holes outside the first rectangular through holes, the second rectangular through holes being inclined relative to the extension direction of the insertion hole.

[0010] Optionally, the panel body includes a flat plate, and a socket for a forklift rod to pass through is formed between the flat plate and the base on one side of the support column.

[0011] Optionally, a splicing block is fixedly connected to the surface of the base facing the main panel body, and a splicing groove is correspondingly opened on the support column. The bottom of the splicing groove is located on the main panel body, and the outer surface of the splicing block is slidably connected in the splicing groove. The connection between the splicing block and the splicing groove is limited by a locking mechanism.

[0012] Optionally, the locking mechanism includes a reinforcing rod, the side of the panel body is slidably connected to the reinforcing rod through an opening, and the reinforcing rod is at least partially located in the splicing groove. The side of the splicing block is slidably connected to the surface of the reinforcing rod located in the splicing groove through an opening, and the extension direction of the reinforcing rod is relatively perpendicular to the extension direction of the insertion hole.

[0013] Optionally, the locking mechanism further includes a locking bolt, the surface of the panel body is slidably connected to the locking bolt through an opening, the end face of the splicing block located in the splicing groove is slidably connected to the locking bolt passing through the opening through an opening, and the surface of the reinforcing rod located in the splicing block is threadedly connected to the surface of the locking bolt passing through the splicing block through an opening threaded hole.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a technical solution: a multifunctional tray, comprising a base 100 and a panel body 200;

[0024] A support column 300 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base 100, and the panel body 200 is detachably connected to the other end of the support column 300. A socket 400 for a forklift rod to pass through is formed between the panel body 200 and the base 100 on one side of the support column 300.

[0025] The panel body 200 is a plate-like structure with several hollowed-out rectangular holes on its surface or a flat plate-like structure.

[0026] Support columns 300 ensure the stability of the panel body 200 when carrying goods, preventing deformation or tilting. Evenly distributed support columns 300 effectively distribute the weight of the goods, increasing the pallet's load-bearing capacity. The detachable panel body 200 allows the pallet to quickly adapt to different material needs; flat or perforated panels can be selected for different application scenarios, enhancing the pallet's adaptability. Connection methods include snap-fit, bolts, or other quick-connect devices, ensuring convenient and secure installation and removal of the panel. When the panel body 200 is damaged, only the panel needs to be replaced, not the entire pallet, reducing maintenance and replacement costs. Different types of panels can be reused, reducing material waste and environmental burden. Insert holes 400 allow forklifts to easily insert and lift the pallet, improving logistics and warehousing operational efficiency. Insert holes 400 ensure the stability of the pallet when lifting and handling it, reducing the risk of goods falling and being damaged. The perforated rectangular perforated panel structure is used for applications requiring ventilation, drainage, or weight reduction, while the flat panel structure is used for scenarios requiring flat surface support, such as placing small items or goods requiring anti-slip properties.

[0027] In this embodiment, as a preferred option, the panel body 200 includes a perforated plate 210. The surface of the perforated plate 210 has multiple hollowed-out first rectangular through holes 220 corresponding to the support column 300. The surface of the perforated plate 210 has multiple hollowed-out second rectangular through holes 230 outside the first rectangular through holes 220. The second rectangular through holes 230 are inclined relative to the extending direction of the insertion hole 400. The first rectangular through holes 220 securely fix the panel body 200 to the base 100, effectively distributing the force and preventing deformation or breakage of the panel body 200 when bearing heavy objects. The perforated first rectangular through-hole 220 and second rectangular through-hole 230 enhance the durability of the panel body 200 and improve the stability of the overall structure. The perforated second rectangular through-hole 230 increases the ventilation and drainage functions of the panel body 200. The inclined through-hole design can also increase friction to prevent goods from sliding during transportation, thereby improving the stability and safety of the goods. This facilitates the transportation and storage of goods that require ventilation or drainage (such as agricultural products and food). The perforated first rectangular through-hole 220 and second rectangular through-hole 230 reduce the weight of the panel body 200, making the pallet lighter overall, easier to handle and operate, and reducing transportation costs.

[0028] In this embodiment, as a preferred solution, a splicing block 500 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base 100 facing the panel body 200. A splicing groove 600 is correspondingly provided on the support column 300, and the bottom of the splicing groove 600 is located on the panel body 200. The outer surface of the splicing block 500 is slidably connected within the splicing groove 600. The connection between the splicing block 500 and the splicing groove 600 is limited by a locking mechanism 700. The splicing block 500 and the splicing groove 600 ensure that the panel body 200 can be securely installed on the base 100, preventing the panel body 200 from loosening or falling off during use. The quick matching installation avoids relative sliding between the panel body 200 and the base 100 during use, and makes the installation and disassembly of the panel body 200 simpler. Just slide the splicing block 500 into the splicing groove 600, which greatly reduces installation time and operation difficulty. The locking mechanism 700 can adopt various forms such as bolts, buckles, and locking pins to ensure the stability and safety of the connection. The locking mechanism 700 is used to fix the splicing block 500 in the splicing groove 600 and prevent the panel body 200 from loosening or falling off due to the splicing block 500 sliding during use, thereby improving the safety of the tray.

[0029] In this embodiment, as a preferred solution, the locking mechanism 700 includes a reinforcing rod 710. The side of the panel body 200 is slidably connected to the reinforcing rod 710 through an opening, and the reinforcing rod 710 is at least partially located within the splicing groove 600. The side of the splicing block 500 is slidably connected to the surface of the reinforcing rod 710 located within the splicing groove 600 through an opening. The extending direction of the reinforcing rod 710 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the insertion hole 400. The reinforcing rod 710 passes through the panel body 200 and the splicing block 500. Both the panel body 200 and the splicing block 500 are slidably connected to the reinforcing rod 710 through the opening. The reinforcing rod 710 is used to securely connect the panel body 200 and the splicing block 500. To prevent loosening or detachment during use, the sliding connection allows for quicker installation and disassembly of the panel body 200 and the splicing block 500, reducing operation time and improving work efficiency. The extension direction of the reinforcing rod 710 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the insertion hole 400, so forklift operation will not interfere with the fixing function of the reinforcing rod 710. The reinforcing rod 710 provides additional lateral support, enhancing the connection strength between the panel body 200 and the splicing block 500, and improving the overall load-bearing capacity of the pallet. The sliding connection between the reinforcing rod 710 and the through hole allows the panel body 200 and the splicing block 500 to distribute pressure evenly when under force, reducing local stress concentration and preventing component deformation or damage.

[0030] In this embodiment, as a preferred option, the locking mechanism 700 further includes a locking bolt 720. The surface of the panel body 200 is slidably connected to the locking bolt 720 through a through hole. The end face of the splicing block 500 located in the splicing groove 600 is slidably connected to the locking bolt 720 through a through hole. The surface of the reinforcing rod 710 located in the splicing block 500 is threadedly connected to the surface of the locking bolt 720 through a threaded hole. Through the threaded connection, the locking bolt 720 can firmly fix the panel body 200, the splicing block 500 and the reinforcing rod 710 together to form a stable overall structure, preventing the components from loosening or falling off during use. The threaded connection of the locking bolt 720 provides a reliable fixing force, ensuring that the panel body 200 and the splicing block 500 remain stable when bearing heavy objects, avoiding displacement caused by vibration or impact. The surface of the reinforcing rod 710 located in the splicing block 500 is provided with a threaded hole for threaded connection with the locking bolt 720.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the panel body 200 includes a flat plate 240, and a socket 400 for a forklift rod to pass through is formed between the flat plate 240 and the base 100 on one side of the support column 300.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
