Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an assembled pallet, belonging to the technical field of pallets for warehousing and logistics. Background Technology

[0002] Pallets, as cargo carriers for forklifts, are commonly used in the collection, stacking, handling, and transportation of materials, playing a significant role in logistics operations and being widely applied in production, transportation, warehousing, and distribution.

[0003] A pallet consists of a base and supporting components mounted on the base. The supporting components support the goods, and there are access channels between the supporting components and the base for forklift forks to pick up the goods. Some existing pallets are made of materials such as rubber or resin in a single molding process, while others are made of metal, such as steel, welded into a single structure. During frequent use, pallets are prone to collisions with goods, forklift forks, or other equipment, resulting in damage, such as damage to the supporting components. In such cases, the only solution for a one-piece pallet is to replace the entire pallet, rendering it unusable and increasing warehousing costs. Furthermore, one-piece pallets must be transported as a whole, further increasing transportation costs. Additionally, the requirement for uniform materials in one-piece pallets also contributes to higher overall costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an assembled pallet.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: An assembled pallet includes a base and a load-bearing component disposed on the base.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to examples. The examples are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0041] Example 1, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, an assembled pallet includes a base 1 and a load-bearing component disposed on the base 1. The load-bearing component includes multiple load-bearing units, each load-bearing unit including a support portion 2. The support portion 2 and the base 1 form a pallet forklift passage 3, and adjacent support portions 2 form a cargo forklift passage 4. A support portion is provided between the base 1 and the support portion 2. The support portion includes an upper support portion 5 and a lower support portion 6. The upper support portion 5 is connected to the support portion 2, and the lower support portion 6 is connected to the base 1. The upper support portion 5 and the lower support portion 6 are detachably connected.

[0042] At least one snap-fit ​​reinforcing component is also provided between the support part 2 and the base 1. The support part is located at the bottom edge of the support part 2, and the snap-fit ​​reinforcing component is located between the support parts. The detachable connection between the upper support part 5 and the lower support part 6 can meet the assembly requirements between the bearing unit and the base 1. Adding a snap-fit ​​reinforcing component between the support parts can improve the docking efficiency and alignment accuracy between the upper support part 5 and the lower support part 6. The connection between the upper support part 5 and the lower support part 6 after accurate alignment is also more convenient and quick, improving the assembly efficiency and assembly quality between the bearing unit and the base 1, and facilitating the disassembly between the bearing unit and the base 1; it can also enhance the connection strength and support strength between the middle part of the bearing unit and the base 1.

[0043] The snap-fit ​​reinforcement assembly includes a snap-fit ​​limiting member 10 and a snap-fit ​​connecting plate 8. A snap-fit ​​groove 11 is formed on the snap-fit ​​limiting member 10 and / or between the snap-fit ​​limiting member 10 and the base 1. The upper part of the snap-fit ​​connecting plate 8 is connected to the support part 2, and the lower part of the snap-fit ​​connecting plate 8 has a hook-shaped structure 9, which can engage with the snap-fit ​​groove 11. The snap-fit ​​connecting plate 8 can enter the snap-fit ​​groove 11 from the side and is positioned and locked by the hook-shaped structure 9, realizing the snap-fit ​​positioning between the upper support part 5 and the lower support part 6. The connection position between the upper support part 5 and the lower support part 6 is accurate and the connection between the two is convenient. This not only facilitates the connection of the support parts, but also makes the disassembly and assembly of the upper support part 5 and the lower support part 6 more convenient.

[0044] With the direction of the forklift channel as the front-back direction, the front or rear side of the locking limiting member 10 is connected to the base 1, and there is a gap between the other side and the base 1 to form a locking groove 11 that can accommodate the hook-shaped structure 9. The hook-shaped structure 9 is bent in the front or back direction, and the hook-shaped structure 9 can be locked into the locking groove 11 from the left or right side of the supporting unit to realize the locking and positioning of the locking connecting plate 8 and the locking limiting member 10.

[0045] The hook structure 9 is L-shaped or T-shaped. The hook structure 9 with an L-shaped or T-shaped cross-section not only facilitates convenient and quick lateral docking and disassembly, but also strengthens the connection between the hook structure 9 and the slot after alignment, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the support and the base.

[0046] The upper support portion 5 and the lower support portion 6 are connected by fasteners. Both the upper support portion 5 and the lower support portion 6 are provided with mounting holes for installing the fasteners. The connection between the upper support portion 5 and the lower support portion 6 via fasteners allows for convenient and quick installation and disassembly.

[0047] A locking and limiting structure is also provided between the upper support part 5 and the lower support part 6. The upper support part 5 and the lower support part 6 can not only realize the connection between the bearing unit and the base 1, but also be aligned by the locking and limiting mechanism to ensure the accuracy of the connection position between the support part 2 and the base 1 after connection.

[0048] The locking and limiting structure includes a locking member 7, which is disposed on the outside of the lower support portion 6 and is locked to the upper support portion 5. The locking and docking between the upper and lower support portions 6 can be achieved through the locking member 7 and the upper support portion 5. During installation, the bearing unit is installed from the side, and the upper support portion 5 and the locking member 7 are locked together, that is, the bearing unit is docked in place on the base 1. Fasteners can then be installed to complete the installation between the bearing unit and the base 1. Disassembly is also very convenient; simply loosen the fasteners and move the bearing unit laterally to detach it from the base 1.

[0049] The lower support part 6 is a square tube structure, and the upper support part 5 has a locking opening that can be engaged with the lower support part 6. The upper support part 5 has a U-shaped cross-section. The square tube structure can reduce the overall weight of the pallet. The lower support part 6 can enter the upper support part 5 with the locking opening on the side. The connection between the upper and lower support parts 6 is convenient and quick, facilitating the connection and disassembly of the load-bearing unit and the base 1.

[0050] Example 2, as Figures 5-7 As shown, the locking limiting member 10 is provided with a slot for positioning the locking connecting plate 8. During locking, the plate body of the locking connecting plate 8 can be locked into the slot. The slot can guide, limit and position the locking connecting plate. The hook structure can cooperate with the locking groove 11. The locking connecting plate 8 and the locking limiting member 10 are easy to engage and the positioning is stable after engagement.

[0051] With the direction of the forklift channel as the front-back direction, the left or right side of the locking limiting member 10 is connected to the base 1, and there is a gap between the other side and the base 1 to form a locking groove 11 to accommodate the hook-shaped structure 9. The hook-shaped structure 9 is bent in the forward or backward direction. The locking limiting member 10 has a slot with an opening on the left or right side. The locking connecting plate 8 can be inserted into the slot from the left or right side, and the hook-shaped structure 9 of the locking connecting plate 8 can be engaged into the locking groove 11 from the left or right side, realizing the locking and positioning of the locking connecting plate 8 and the locking limiting member 10. The rest of the structure is the same as in Embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.

[0052] Example 3, as Figures 8-10 As shown, the locking limiting member 10 is provided with a slot for positioning the locking connecting plate 8. During locking, the plate body of the locking connecting plate 8 can be locked into the slot. The slot can guide, limit and position the locking connecting plate. The hook structure can cooperate with the locking groove 11. The locking connecting plate 8 and the locking limiting member 10 are easy to engage and the positioning is stable after engagement.

[0053] With the direction of the forklift channel as the front-back direction, the front and rear sides of the locking and limiting member 10 are connected to the base 1, respectively. A gap exists between the middle part and the base 1 to form a locking groove 11 that accommodates the hook-shaped structure 9. The hook-shaped structure 9 bends forward or backward. The locking and limiting member 10 has slots with openings on the left or right side. The locking connecting plate 8 can be inserted into the slots from the left or right side, and the hook-shaped structure 9 of the locking connecting plate 8 can be engaged into the locking groove 11 from the left or right side, thus achieving locking and positioning of the locking connecting plate 8 and the locking and limiting member 10. The remaining structure is the same as in Embodiment 1 and will not be described further here.

[0054] Example 4, as Figures 11-13 As shown, the snap-fit ​​reinforcement assembly includes an upper mating plate 12 disposed on the support portion 2 and a lower mating plate 13 disposed on the base 1. The upper mating plate 12 and the lower mating plate 13 are snap-fitted together by a snap-fit ​​protrusion and a snap-fit ​​groove. Alternatively, the snap-fit ​​reinforcement assembly can use an upper mating plate 12 and a lower mating plate 13 that can snap-fit ​​together for alignment. This facilitates alignment between the upper and lower connecting plates and also promotes accurate installation between the load-bearing unit and the base 1. There can be one or more snap-fit ​​protrusions and snap-fit ​​grooves, such as... Figure 12 It can be seen that there are multiple card protrusions on the upper connecting plate, and multiple card slots that engage with the card protrusions at the corresponding positions on the lower connecting plate, which facilitates alignment. After alignment, the connection between the bearing unit and the base 1 can also be constrained and strengthened in the height direction.

[0055] The pallet's load-bearing unit and base are connected in a detachable manner, rather than being a single, integrated structure. If one component is damaged, only the corresponding component needs to be replaced, eliminating the need to replace the entire pallet, thus reducing maintenance costs and increasing the residual value reuse rate of pallet components. The load-bearing unit and base can be manufactured and processed independently, thereby improving pallet production efficiency. The pallet can be assembled after transportation to its destination, reducing transportation costs. Aluminum has anti-static properties, making it suitable for explosion-proof environments. Pallets made of aluminum can be used in environments requiring explosion protection, or in scenarios requiring refrigerated food and pharmaceutical products, or lightweight applications. Steel pallets can be used in general food and chemical industries. This detachable pallet can also use different materials for its load-bearing unit and base; for example, the load-bearing unit can be made of steel, and the base can be made of aluminum, or vice versa. This combination of steel and aluminum materials not only meets usage requirements but also reduces pallet production costs.

[0056] 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.
