An existing publication (CN220263810U) describes an EPS foam pallet for relay product packaging, comprising an EPS foam pallet body, padding blocks on the upper surface of the body, a support block on one side, limit holes on the inner wall of the support block, a limit rod at the bottom of the support block, and locking holes on the inner wall of the top of the body.
[0003] However, in the above solution, the outer wall of the EPS foam pallet is prone to collision with surrounding items during transportation, which may cause the pallet edge to crack or dent, affecting the load-bearing capacity and even causing the goods to collapse. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide an EPS foam pallet that prevents edge damage, which can effectively solve the problem in the background art that the outer wall of the EPS foam pallet is prone to collision with surrounding items during transportation, which may cause the pallet edge to crack or dent, affecting the load-bearing capacity, or even causing the goods to collapse.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An EPS foam tray designed to prevent edge breakage includes a tray body, a plurality of brackets provided on the lower surface of the tray body, and a plurality of locking holes provided through the upper surface of the tray body.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0026] like Figures 1-9 As shown, an EPS foam pallet for preventing edge damage includes a pallet body 1, a number of brackets 2 are provided on the lower surface of the pallet body 1, and a number of card holes 3 are provided through the upper surface of the pallet body 1.
[0027] The outer wall of the pallet body 1 is provided with a protective component 4 for protecting the edges.
[0028] The protective component 4 includes a protective strip 401, which is fitted onto the outer wall of the pallet body 1.
[0029] Workers place the workpiece in the pallet body 1 and then align the workpiece positioning structure with the locking hole 3 to facilitate workpiece positioning. By setting a protective strip 401 made of PET material on the outer wall of the pallet body 1, the pallet is reinforced in areas prone to impact, preventing EPS foam from cracking or deforming due to friction and collision during transportation.
[0030] In another embodiment of the present invention, a first mounting block 5 is fixedly installed at one end of the protective strip 401, and a second mounting block 6 is fixedly installed at the other end of the protective strip 401. An insert block 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the first mounting block 5, and a slot 8 is provided on one side surface of the second mounting block 6. The insert block 7 and the slot 8 are interlocked.
[0031] Two through holes 9 are opened through the inner wall of the slot 8. Two spring rods 11 are set on one side of the first mounting block 5 through the positioning bracket 10. The moving ends of the two spring rods 11 are fixedly installed on the moving block 12. Two insertion rods 1201 are fixedly installed on one side of the moving block 12. Two insertion holes 701 are opened on one side surface of the insertion block 7. The two insertion rods 1201 are respectively inserted and engaged with the corresponding insertion holes 701.
[0032] By pushing the movable block 12, the spring rod 11 retracts. Then, the worker inserts the insert block 7 into the slot 8. After the first mounting block 5 and the second mounting block 6 are in contact, the worker releases the movable block 12. The spring rod 11 returns to its original position and drives the movable block 12 to move in the opposite direction, so that the insert rod 1201 is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 701. This allows for quick installation of the protective tape 401. The installation process is simple and reduces the time required for the worker to install the protective tape 401.
[0033] In another embodiment of this utility model, a push block 1301 is fixedly installed on one side of the moving block 12 by two connecting columns 13.
[0034] By setting push block 1301, it is convenient for staff to move moving block 12.
[0035] In another embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of limiting teeth 14 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective strip 401, and a plurality of toothed grooves 15 are opened on the outer wall surface of the tray body 1, with the limiting teeth 14 and the toothed grooves 15 interlocking.
[0036] After the limiting tooth 14 is embedded in the toothed groove 15, a mechanical interlock is formed, which can prevent the protective belt 401 from sliding or rotating laterally due to vibration or collision during transportation, and ensure that the protective belt 401 always covers the vulnerable parts of the pallet edge.
[0037] The working principle of this type of EPS foam tray that prevents edge breakage:
[0038] When in use, the staff places the workpiece in the pallet body 1 and then mates the workpiece positioning structure with the card hole 3 to facilitate workpiece positioning. By setting a protective strip 401 made of PET material on the outer wall of the pallet body 1, the pallet is reinforced in areas that are prone to collisions, preventing the EPS foam from cracking or deforming due to friction and collisions during transportation.
[0039] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
