Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tray technology, and in particular to a nine-cornered flat tray made of finger-molded thermosetting plant fiber. Background Technology

[0002] A pallet is a horizontal platform device used for assembling, stacking, handling, and transporting goods and products as unit loads. Existing flat pallets have three rows of solid support legs arranged in parallel on the bottom. These three rows of support legs make it easy for forklifts to hold the flat pallet from all sides, hence the name nine-corner flat pallet.

[0003] Existing nine-corner flat pallets lack a reasonable drainage structure due to their flat design, making it difficult for water to quickly find a drainage path, resulting in a large amount of water accumulating on the pallet surface. Furthermore, during the transfer of items such as fresh fruits and vegetables and seafood, which continuously drip water, poor drainage is also a problem. Prolonged exposure to this waterlogged state makes the pallets highly susceptible to water erosion, especially wooden pallets, which can rot and rust due to moisture, significantly shortening their lifespan and increasing replacement costs. Secondly, while some existing nine-corner flat pallets are equipped with side baffles, their function is too limited. In actual cargo transportation and storage, the size and shape of goods vary greatly. When encountering large or irregularly shaped goods, existing baffles cannot be flexibly adjusted to meet the need for increased support area. Therefore, this paper proposes a molded thermosetting plant fiber integrated nine-corner flat pallet. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a molded thermosetting plant fiber one-piece molded nine-corner flat tray.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is achieved as follows: a molded thermosetting plant fiber integrally formed nine-cornered flat tray, comprising:

[0006] The pallet body has a drainage structure on its upper surface, which is used to quickly drain water from the pallet body.

[0007] Four movable side panels are rotatably disposed at the four edges of the upper surface of the pallet body to expand the support area or form side barriers.

[0008] A limiting member is provided on the movable side plate and is used to restrict the outward flipping of the movable side plate when the movable side plate is erected to form a side block.

[0009] Preferably, the drainage structure includes multiple straight drainage channels, which are distributed in a diffused manner from the center of the tray body to the surrounding area, and all the straight drainage channels have a common annular drainage channel at their outer ends, with a drainage hole at the bottom of the annular drainage channel.

[0010] Preferably, the upper surface of the tray body has grooves near the four edges, and the movable side plate is hinged in the grooves.

[0011] Preferably, the movable side plate is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating the limiting member;

[0012] The limiting component includes a limiting rod that penetrates the bottom end of the receiving groove. A pull block is fixed to the top end of the limiting rod, and a spring is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod. The spring is connected between the lower end face of the pull block and the bottom end of the receiving groove.

[0013] The bottom of the groove has a positioning hole for the insertion of the limiting rod.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the tray body is integrally formed with feet, and nine feet are evenly arranged.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom end of the foot is provided with a detachable anti-slip pad.

[0016] Preferably, a reinforcing rib is connected between two adjacent base feet.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. When in use, this utility model, through the setting of the drainage structure, the straight drainage grooves distributed in a diffused manner can cover a large area of ​​the pallet body, effectively draining water from the center to the sides, ensuring that water in each position on the pallet has a corresponding drainage channel. The design of the drainage structure can facilitate the rapid removal of water when cleaning the pallet or transferring some items that may drip water, avoiding water accumulation and damage to the pallet.

[0019] 2. When in use, the four movable side plates can be flipped to expand the support area or form a side block. The limiting component can restrict the outward flipping of the movable side plates when they are upright, ensuring the side block function. The design of the pull block, limiting rod and spring makes it convenient to flatten or stand the movable side plates. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-5The molded thermosetting plant fiber one-piece molded nine-corner flat pallet shown includes a pallet body 1, with nine feet 3 evenly distributed at the bottom of the pallet body 1. The pallet body 1 and the feet 3 are molded using molding technology, mixing plant fibers with thermosetting resin and other materials, and molding them in one piece under high temperature and pressure to create a pallet with a nine-corner support structure and a flat load-bearing surface. Using plant fiber as the main raw material reduces dependence on natural resources such as wood, reduces deforestation, and conforms to environmental protection principles. At the same time, the discarded pallet is biodegradable and will not cause environmental pollution. The use of thermosetting resin gives the pallet good moisture-proof performance, effectively preventing moisture intrusion and avoiding damage to the pallet due to moisture. In addition, after treatment, the plant fibers are not easily infested by insects, extending the service life of the pallet. The bottom has nine evenly distributed corner-shaped support structures that can effectively support the weight of the goods on the pallet, keeping the pallet stable during placement and transportation. A drainage structure 4 is provided on the upper surface of the pallet body 1 to quickly drain water on the pallet body 1.

[0029] Among them, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the drainage structure 4 includes multiple straight drainage channels 41, which are distributed outward from the center of the tray body 1. All straight drainage channels 41 have a common annular drainage channel 42 at their outer ends. The bottom of the annular drainage channel 42 has a drainage hole 43. The outwardly distributed straight drainage channels 41 can cover a large area of ​​the tray body 1, effectively draining water from the center to the edges. This ensures that water at each location on the tray has a corresponding drainage channel, preventing local water accumulation. The annular drainage channel 42 with drainage holes 43 can collect the water discharged from the straight drainage channels 41, preventing water from accumulating or overflowing at the edge of the tray. The design of the drainage structure 4 facilitates the rapid removal of water when cleaning the tray or transporting items that may drip water, preventing water accumulation and damage to the tray.

[0030] Among them, the drainage channel with drainage hole 43 can be made lower than the drainage channels in other places to facilitate the outflow of water.

[0031] Further, see Figure 2As shown, an anti-slip pad 5 is detachably provided at the bottom of the foot 3, which can effectively increase the friction between the pallet and the ground and prevent the pallet from sliding during placement or handling. The anti-slip pad 5 and the foot 3 can be detachably connected by a conventional snap-fit ​​or threaded connection structure. This detachable design not only facilitates the cleaning and replacement of the anti-slip pad 5, but also allows for simple replacement of the anti-slip pad 5 when it is worn or damaged, greatly reducing maintenance costs. A reinforcing rib 6 connects two adjacent feet 3. During pallet handling and loading / unloading, the pallet is inevitably subjected to external impacts such as collisions and drops. The reinforcing rib 6 can enhance the connection rigidity between the feet 3, enabling the pallet to better withstand these impacts and reduce the probability of damage. The reinforcing rib 6 can also limit the relative displacement between the feet 3, keeping the pallet in a more regular shape during placement and use, preventing twisting or tilting, thereby improving the stability of the pallet when carrying goods and reducing the risk of goods tipping over.

[0032] The reinforcing rib 6 is positioned close to the lower section of the base 3, allowing the upper section to accommodate the forklift's forks and preventing obstruction of the forklift's forks.

[0033] In addition, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the molded thermosetting plant fiber one-piece molded nine-corner flat tray also includes four movable side plates 2 and limiting members 7. The four movable side plates 2 are rotatably arranged at the four edges of the upper end face of the tray body 1 to expand the support area or form side barriers. The limiting members 7 are arranged on the movable side plates 2 and are used to restrict the outward flipping of the movable side plates 2 when the movable side plates 2 are erected to form side barriers, so as to ensure the side barrier function.

[0034] Among them, see Figure 5 As shown, the upper surface of the tray body 1 has grooves 101 near the four edges, and the movable side plate 2 is hinged in the grooves 101, so that one end of the movable side plate 2 can be flipped in the grooves 101.

[0035] See Figures 3-5 As shown, the movable side plate 2 is provided with a receiving groove 21 for accommodating the limiting member 7;

[0036] The limiting member 7 includes a limiting rod 71 that penetrates the bottom end of the receiving groove 21. A pull block 73 is fixed to the top end of the limiting rod 71, and a spring 72 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod 71. The spring 72 is connected between the lower end face of the pull block 73 and the bottom end of the receiving groove 21. In the natural state of the spring 72, the end of the limiting rod 71 penetrates the bottom end of the receiving groove 21.

[0037] The bottom of the groove 101 has a positioning hole 102 for the insertion of the limiting rod 71.

[0038] As described above, when it is necessary to flatten the erected movable side plate 2 to expand the supporting area, the staff can pull up the pull block 73 to make the bottom end of the limit rod 71 disengage from the positioning hole 102, and then rotate the movable side plate 2 to flatten it. When the movable side plate 2 is flattened, the upper end surface of the movable side plate 2 is flush with the upper end surface of the pallet body 1.

[0039] When it is necessary to stand up the flat movable side plate 2 to form a four-sided block, the staff only needs to rotate the movable side plate 2 by 90° to make the movable side plate 2 stand up. Under the elastic action of the spring 72, the inner end of the limit rod 71 is embedded into the positioning hole 102, which can prevent the movable side plate 2 from turning outward.

[0040] To improve the stability of the side blocking movable side plate 2 turning outward, multiple equidistant limiting members 7 can be set to limit the movement together, thereby increasing the support and limiting of the movable side plate 2. A crossbar can be connected to the pull block 73 in the same receiving groove 21, so that the crossbar can realize the synchronous upward pulling of multiple limiting rods 71.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
