Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine assembly transportation and storage logistics, and in particular to an engine block assembly transportation logistics pallet. Background Technology

[0002] The engine block assembly transport logistics pallet serves as a containerized transport unit for transporting engine assemblies, utilizing mechanized loading, unloading, stacking, and transport.

[0003] However, the existing engine block transport pallets are only a single type of logistics pallet with no adjustable structure, which can only be used to transport a single model of engine block assembly or component. This results in the workshop needing to configure more special pallets of different models to meet the different ground assembly transport needs. The logistics pallets for transporting engine block assemblies are numerous and occupy a large amount of workshop space, resulting in low utilization of warehouse space.

[0004] Furthermore, pallet specifications vary in material, including wood, plastic, and metal (and structural differences such as two-way / four-way forklift entry further exacerbate the complexity). This non-standardized situation increases equipment procurement costs and hinders the implementation of standardized operating procedures such as robotic arm grasping in automated production lines.

[0005] Furthermore, the existing pallet stacking design is inadequate, resulting in empty pallets occupying 20%-30% of the workshop floor plan, which directly affects production line expansion and flexible production layout adjustments.

[0006] Furthermore, existing pallets cannot meet the rapid adaptation requirements of loading and unloading equipment in multimodal transport, and lack modular expansion interfaces, making it difficult to support the digital twin system's requirements for collecting real-time data such as pallet load and positioning, thus becoming disconnected from new quality productivity.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] This embodiment provides a transport logistics pallet for engine block assemblies, used for placing and transporting engine block assemblies. It is characterized by comprising: a base frame assembly, including a pallet base frame mounting plate 1, a short pallet crossbar 2, a pallet vertical bar 3, a pallet horizontal bar 4, and a pallet longitudinal bar 23; a support base assembly, including a support structure and a soft pad 18, the soft pad 18 being used to prevent damage to the engine block assembly during transport; and an adjustment assembly, including T-bolts 5, self-locking nuts 6, angle brackets 9, longitudinal beams 21, and crossbeams 22.

[0033] Specifically, to provide an engine block assembly transport and logistics pallet with an adjustable structure, adaptable to various engine block assembly models, capable of standardized production, easy stacking with less storage space, and quick assembly and disassembly, this embodiment includes a base frame assembly, a support base assembly, and an adjustment assembly. The base frame assembly is easy to assemble and disassemble, and occupies little storage space when stored. The support base assembly supports the bottom of the engine block, and the adjustment assembly can change the position of the support base assembly to adapt to various engine block models. This embodiment is composed of multiple components that are replaceable, enabling standardized production.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the pallet short crossbar 2, pallet vertical bar 3, pallet crossbar 4, and pallet longitudinal bar 23 are rectangular strip structures. The pallet short crossbar 2, pallet crossbar 4, and pallet longitudinal bar 23 are arranged parallel to the ground, and the pallet vertical bar 3 is arranged perpendicular to the ground.

[0035] Specifically, the pallet short cross frame 2, pallet vertical frame 3, pallet cross frame 4 and pallet longitudinal frame 23 form a cuboid frame structure, which can be disassembled and stored to reduce storage space. The pallet cross frame 4 and pallet longitudinal frame 23 are parallel to the ground to ensure the horizontal stability of the engine body.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the pallet base mounting plate 1 is laid flat on the ground; a plurality of short pallet crossbars 2 are arranged on the four sides of the pallet base mounting plate 1, and a plurality of pallet vertical bars 3 are arranged at the four corners of the pallet base mounting plate 1; the two ends of the pallet crossbars 4 are respectively connected to the tops of the plurality of pallet vertical bars 3, and the two ends of the pallet longitudinal bars 23 are also respectively connected to the tops of the plurality of pallet vertical bars 3; the pallet crossbars 4 and the pallet longitudinal bars 23 are arranged perpendicularly. Preferably, the base assembly further includes a grid frame, which is arranged within a square plane formed by the pallet crossbars 4 and the pallet longitudinal bars 23, and the edges of the grid frame are fixed to the pallet crossbars 4 and / or the pallet longitudinal bars 23.

[0037] Specifically, the pallet base mounting plate 1 is laid parallel to the ground, and pallet short crossbars 2, pallet vertical bars 3, pallet crossbars 4, and pallet longitudinal bars 23 are connected on it. The pallet crossbars 4 and pallet longitudinal bars 23 are perpendicularly connected to form a square plane, and the grid frame is set within the square plane. The pallet crossbars 4, pallet longitudinal bars 23, and grid frame together form the top surface of the pallet base that is easy to disassemble and whose structure can be changed. Multiple support base assemblies are fixed on the top surface of the pallet base. Therefore, the position of the pallet crossbars 4, pallet longitudinal bars 23, and grid frame can be changed to change the position of the support base assemblies. The support base assemblies are used to support the engine block assembly. Therefore, the support base assemblies can change the fulcrum position of the engine block assembly and can adapt to different models of engine block assemblies.

[0038] As a preferred connection method, the support structure is fixed at the intersection of the grid frame, and the soft pad 18 is placed on top of the support structure. The design of the soft pad 18 effectively prevents damage caused by collision between the machine assembly and the support during hoisting. The soft pad 18 has countersunk holes that match the support and is equipped with countersunk bolts 19.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the support structure includes a front right support 17, a rear right support 20, a rear left support 24, and a front left support 25, wherein the shapes of the front right support 17, rear right support 20, rear left support 24, and front left support 25 are compatible with the shape of the engine block assembly. Preferably, the shapes of the front right support 17, rear right support 20, rear left support 24, and front left support 25 are different from each other.

[0040] Specifically, in order to stably fix the engine block assembly, the front right support 17, rear right support 20, rear left support 24, and front left support 25 are shaped to fit the shape of the engine block assembly, and the pressure is distributed by the soft pad 18. Since the engine block assembly has an irregular shape, the shapes of the front right support 17, rear right support 20, rear left support 24, and front left support 25 are different from each other at the connection points with the engine block assembly in order to fit the engine block assembly. For details, please refer to the attached drawings in the specification. The purpose is to provide the optimal fixing strength with the engine block assembly and prevent the engine block assembly from detaching.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the T-bolt 5 and the self-locking nut 6 are used to connect and adjust the relative position between the base frame assembly and the support assembly. The T-bolt 5 is movably connected in the threaded hole of the self-locking nut 6, and the connection between the self-locking nut 6 and the T-bolt 5 is shape-fitted. The angle bracket 9 is connected to the longitudinal beam 21 and the cross beam 22, and is used to fix and adjust the position of the longitudinal beam 21 and the cross beam 22, thereby adapting to engine block assemblies of different widths and lengths.

[0042] Specifically, the adjustment components are used to fix and adjust the positions of the pallet crossbeam 4, pallet longitudinal frame 23, and pallet base mounting plate 1 in the horizontal plane. These components are used to connect and adjust the relative positions between the base assembly and the support assembly.
