[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to its embodiments. 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a technical solution: an intelligent tray with plug-in function, including a tray 1. The tray 1 includes first supports 2 located at its four bottom corners and the middle of its sides, and a mounting cavity 9 is disposed on the side of the first support 2 in the mounting cavity 9. To enhance the supporting strength of the tray 1, such as... Figure 6 As shown, a frame 19 is provided at the bottom edge of the pallet 1 to connect with each of the first supports 2, and a cross-shaped frame 18 is provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the pallet 1 to connect each of the first supports 2. The cross-shaped frame 18 and the frame 19 can effectively strengthen the structural strength of the pallet 1 and prevent the pallet 1 from deforming and bending.

[0027] The tray 1 proposed in this application allows four first supports 2 to be supported on the ground, such as Figure 7 As shown, a second support 12 is provided in the middle of the star-shaped frame 18. The second support 12 is used to support the middle of the tray 1 and prevent the middle of the tray 1 from sinking. Figure 7 As shown, the forklift's front fork ( Figure 7 (As shown by the dashed line) It can be inserted under the tray from any side of the tray 1, and the cross-shaped frame 18 and frame 19 can contact the fork.

[0028] Furthermore, one side of the tray 1 is provided with a mounting cavity 9, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting cavity 9 is located on the side of the first support 2, allowing direct observation of the mounting cavity 9. A control housing 7 is detachably installed inside the mounting cavity 9. The control housing 7 matches the shape of the mounting cavity 9. When installing the control housing 7, it is simply inserted into the mounting cavity 9; conversely, when it needs to be removed, it is simply pulled out of the mounting cavity 9. The specific connection relationship between the control housing 7 and the mounting cavity 9 is as follows... Figure 1As shown, a sealing groove 8 is provided at the opening edge of the mounting cavity 9, and a connecting edge 3 is provided on one side edge of the control housing 7. When the control housing 7 is inserted into the mounting cavity 9, the connecting edge 3 is installed in the sealing groove 8 by fasteners, which are bolts. That is, the connecting edge 3 is fastened in the mounting cavity 9 by bolts. In this way, the control housing 7 on the side of the pallet 1 can be inspected regardless of whether there are goods on the pallet 1. When it is necessary to remove the control housing 7, first loosen the bolts, and then the control housing 7 can be pulled out from the mounting cavity 9.

[0029] In this application, the control housing 7 contains a control board 15, a battery 13, and a wireless transceiver. The control board is a PCB control board, and the control board 15 is electrically connected to the battery 13 and the wireless transceiver. The wireless transceiver supports radio frequency, local area network, Bluetooth, 4G, or 5G signals, etc. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a rectangular cavity 14 is provided on one side of the control housing 7. The control board 15 and the wireless signal transceiver are both installed in the rectangular cavity 14. The rectangular cavity 14 is sealed by a detachable sealing plate 11. The sealing plate 11 and the edge of the rectangular cavity 14 are fastened by bolts for easy installation and disassembly.

[0030] Furthermore, the control housing 7 is provided with a battery compartment 6, which contains a battery 13. The opening of the battery compartment 6 is provided with a mounting hole 4, through which the battery 13 can be removed. A sealing cover 5 is detachably provided inside the mounting hole 4. The sealing cover 5 is fastened or threaded to the mounting hole 4, which makes the sealing cover 5 easy to remove. An elastic pad, such as a rubber pad or a foam pad, is provided on the side of the sealing cover 5 near the battery 13. When the sealing cover 5 is installed, the elastic pad can press the battery 13 tightly.

[0031] Battery 13 and control board 15 are connected as follows: Figure 4 As shown, two electrodes 16 are provided at one end of the battery 13, namely the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Two contacts 17 corresponding to the electrodes 16 are provided at the bottom of the battery compartment 6. When the battery 13 is placed in the battery compartment 6, the electrodes 16 contact the contacts 17 respectively. The contacts 17 are electrically connected to the control board 15. The contacts 17 and the control board 15 are specifically connected by wires or conductive sheets. The wires or conductive sheets are set on the inner wall of the battery compartment 6. When the battery needs to be replaced, simply unscrew the sealing cover 5, take out the old battery, and replace it with a new battery.

[0032] Furthermore, to further increase battery capacity and extend battery life, the battery compartment 6 is designed in a long, narrow shape, which increases its volume. Figure 4 As shown, however, this causes the battery compartment 6 to protrude beyond the control housing 7. Therefore, in order to also preserve the battery compartment 6, as shown... Figure 1As shown, a battery cavity 10 corresponding to the battery compartment 6 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 9, and the battery compartment 6 is placed inside the battery cavity 10.

[0033] Based on the above embodiments, further optimizations can be made. When the battery is almost depleted, the control board automatically sends information via a wireless transceiver. In addition, an indicator light connected to the control board is provided on the surface of the control housing 7, and a charging port (not shown in the figure) is provided on the surface of the control housing 7, which is connected to the control board.

[0034] Based on the above embodiments, further optimizations can be made. The control board 15 is also electrically connected to the locator, which is set inside the rectangular cavity 14. The locator supports local area network positioning, Beidou positioning, radio frequency positioning, etc.

[0035] Based on the above embodiments, further optimization can be achieved by also providing an RFID chip inside the rectangular cavity 14.

[0036] 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.
