[0002] Pallets are commonly used cargo-carrying tools in the freight transportation industry. However, during transportation, especially on bumpy roads or when vehicles start or brake, goods placed on pallets are prone to tilting, sliding, or even falling off. This can not only lead to damage to the goods but also threaten the safety of transport personnel and vehicles. Existing cargo protection methods, such as simple rope binding and the addition of baffles, suffer from problems such as cumbersome operation, poor protective effect, and large space occupation. For example, rope binding is difficult to adjust flexibly according to the shape and quantity of goods and can easily leave marks on the surface of the goods; traditional baffles cannot be stored when not in use, increasing the space occupied during transportation. Therefore, there is a need for a cargo transportation protective structure that is structurally sound, easy to operate, and provides good protection. Utility Model Content

[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0024] A protective structure for cargo transportation includes a pallet 1. Mounting grooves 2 are distributed on the surface of the pallet 1 near its edge, and a protective element is disposed inside the mounting grooves 2. This protective element prevents goods placed on the surface of the pallet 1 from tilting during transportation, and the protective element can be completely housed inside the mounting grooves 2.
[0025] The protective components include a protective plate 3 and annular elastic ropes that are sleeved on the outside of the protective plate 3. Two protective plates are installed inside each mounting slot 2. Mounting shafts 6 are installed at both ends of each mounting slot 2, and the protective plate 3 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting shafts 6. Through this design, the protective plate 3 can rotate around the mounting shafts 6, achieving both vertical protection and storage functions. The annular elastic ropes further restrain and secure the goods.
[0026] The distance between the two mounting shafts 6 inside the same mounting slot 2 is greater than the height of the protective plate 3, and the thickness of the two protective plates 3 is less than the width of the mounting slot 2. Furthermore, the retracted protective plates 3 are completely housed within the mounting slot 2. This dimensional design ensures that the protective plates 3 do not extend beyond the mounting slot 2 when retracted, thus not affecting the normal use and stacking of the pallet 1, while effectively protecting the goods when upright.
[0027] The protective plate 3, away from the pallet 1, has a groove 7 on its surface for limiting the position of the ring elastic rope. This groove 7 can prevent the ring elastic rope from shifting during use and ensure the fixation of the goods.
[0028] The protective plate 3 is fixed by the locking structure 5 when erected, and by the fixing structure 4 when retracted into the mounting slot 2. Wherein:
[0029] The fixing structure 4 includes fixing holes 8 on the side of the tray 1, and connecting holes 9 on the protective plate 3 corresponding to the fixing holes 8. Fixing posts 10 are threaded into the fixing holes 8 and connecting holes 9. Handles 11 are distributed on the side of the fixing posts 10 for easy disassembly. When the protective plate 3 needs to be stored, it is placed in the mounting slot 2, and the fixing posts 10 are passed through the fixing holes 8 and connecting holes 9 and tightened to securely fix the protective plate 3 in the mounting slot 2.
[0030] The locking structure 5 includes a sliding column 14 that locks by gravity. A groove 12 is formed inside the protective plate 3 on the side of the mounting shaft 6. A locking hole 13 is formed at the bottom end of the mounting groove 2 corresponding to the position of the groove 12. The sliding column 14 is slidably installed inside the groove 12. A pull plate 15 is installed at the top of the sliding column 14. An opening for the pull plate 15 to extend is formed on the side of the groove 12 corresponding to the position of the pull plate 15. When the protective plate 3 is placed vertically, the bottom end of the sliding column 14 falls into the locking hole 13 under the action of gravity, achieving automatic locking of the protective plate 3. The operation is simple and the locking effect is reliable.
[0031] When fully retracted into the mounting slot 2, the protective components can seal all fork entrances of pallet 1. In its retracted state, the protective plate 3 is specially designed in shape and size to fit tightly with the fork entrances of pallet 1, forming a closed structure. This effectively blocks external forces such as collisions and compression, protecting the shape and structural integrity of the fork entrances. Simultaneously, it prevents movement of the entire structure after loading goods without the protective components, thus ensuring transportation safety.
[0032] In practical applications, when goods need to be transported, the protective plate 3 is first removed from the mounting slot 2. Since the protective plate 3 is fitted onto the outside of the mounting shaft 6, it can easily rotate around the mounting shaft 6. The protective plate 3 is then erected to a position perpendicular to the surface of the pallet 1. At this time, the sliding column 14 slides down along the sliding groove 12 under the action of gravity, and the bottom end of the sliding column 14 falls into the locking hole 13, realizing the automatic locking of the protective plate 3, making it stably upright on the edge of the pallet 1. If the protective plate 3 is not opened at this time, since the position and shape of the protective plate 3 in the mounting slot 2 can just close all the forklift entrances of the pallet 1, the whole thing cannot be moved by a forklift. This prevents the whole thing from being moved without the protective part after the goods are installed, thus ensuring the safety of transportation.
[0033] Next, remove the elastic cord from the protective plate 3. Depending on the shape and size of the goods, slip the elastic cord over them, and use the groove 7 on the protective plate 3 to restrain the elastic cord, ensuring it does not slip. The elastic tension of the elastic cord firmly secures the goods to the pallet 1, and together with the protective plate 3 providing lateral protection, effectively prevents the goods from tilting or shifting.
[0034] When the goods transportation is completed and the protective structure needs to be stored, first pull the pull plate 15 to pull out the sliding column 14 from the locking hole 13, allowing the protective plate 3 to rotate around the mounting shaft 6. Place the protective plate 3 into the mounting groove 2, aligning the connecting hole 9 on the protective plate 3 with the fixing hole 8 on the side of the pallet 1. Then, pass the fixing column 10 through the fixing hole 8 and the connecting hole 9, and tighten the fixing column 10 using the handle 11 to firmly fix the protective plate 3 in the mounting groove 2. At this time, the position and shape of the protective plate 3 in the mounting groove 2 can just close all the fork entrances of the pallet 1, completing the protection of the fork entrances by the protective component.
[0035] 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.
