Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transfer pallet technology, and in particular to a transfer pallet and transfer device. Background Technology
[0002] In the production, storage, and distribution of busbars, the stability of the transfer process directly affects product quality and production efficiency. Currently, the industry mostly uses simple wooden pallets with flatbed trucks for transferring 1.8mm thick busbars (hereinafter referred to as "busbars"). This method can only meet the needs of short-distance internal transfer and has significant drawbacks:
[0003] On the one hand, conductive busbars come in various specifications (10 lengths in this scenario, ranging from 60 to 489 mm, all with a width of 122 mm), and wooden pallets lack dedicated restraint structures, leading to the easy mixing and stacking of conductive busbars of different specifications, making sorting difficult. On the other hand, during outsourcing, the bumps and jolting of transport vehicles can easily cause the stacked conductive busbars to tip over and collide with each other, not only causing surface damage and deformation (1.8 mm thick conductive busbars have weak deformation resistance), but also potentially leading to product confusion, omissions, or even loss, increasing subsequent quality inspection and rework costs. Furthermore, wooden pallets cannot achieve stable multi-layer stacking, have low space utilization, and are difficult to adapt to efficient transfer methods such as forklifts and cranes, hindering logistics efficiency in large-scale production. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dedicated transfer structure that adapts to the characteristics of 1.8 mm conductive busbars and combines restraint functions with efficient transfer capabilities.

[0022] To make the objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0024] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] See Figure 1 The first specific embodiment shows the main technical content. This embodiment provides a transfer tray 100, whose core structure is used to solve the problem of tipping and bumping caused by the limit of the conductive busbar 200 during transfer.
[0027] It is worth noting that 1.8 refers to the thickness of the conductive busbar 200 being 1.8 mm. For ease of explanation, it will be referred to as conductive busbar 200 below. The conductive busbar 200 has various specifications. This embodiment considers 10 different lengths of the conductive busbar 200, ranging from 60 to 489 mm. The width of all 10 conductive busbars 200 is the same, which is 122 mm.
[0028] In the transfer pallet 100 of this embodiment, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions are defined based on the placement of the conductive busbar 200 and the structural layout of the transfer pallet 100, specifically as follows: The X-axis direction is consistent with the length direction of the conductive busbar 200. The Y-axis direction is consistent with the width direction of the conductive busbar 200 and perpendicular to the X-axis direction. The Z-axis direction is consistent with the vertical direction, that is, perpendicular to the horizontal plane where the support plate 101 is located, and is the up-down direction.
[0029] The transfer pallet 100 includes a support plate 101 and baffles 102. The support plate 101 is a flat structure and serves as the basic load-bearing component of the entire transfer pallet 100, used to support the conductive busbar 200 and other components. The support plate 101 is a square. The baffles 102 are vertically arranged on the support plate 101, and there are n of them, where n is a positive integer ≥2, and they are spaced apart along the Y-axis.
[0030] A limiting space 102a is formed between two adjacent baffles 102, which is used to accommodate the conductive busbar 200. To ensure that the conductive busbar 200 can be smoothly inserted and to avoid excessive shaking, the distance between two adjacent baffles 102 must be greater than the width D1 = 122mm of the conductive busbar 200 to be transferred. At the same time, a gap 102a-1 is maintained between one side wall of the conductive busbar 200 in the width direction and the nearest baffle 102. However, the gap 102a-1 cannot be too large. If it is too large, the conductive busbar 200 will still shake excessively, thus defeating the purpose of setting up the baffles 102. The gap 102a-1 should not be too small. If it is too small, although it will prevent the conductive busbar 200 from shaking excessively, it will also make it difficult to pick up. Therefore, the gap 102a-1 in this embodiment is 3 to 5 mm, such as 4.375 mm. During transportation, one of the two side walls of the conductive busbar 200 in the width direction can be attached to the baffle 102, and the gap 102a-1 is left between the other side wall and the nearest baffle 102 to reserve space. In the end, it is necessary to take it out one by one. This design can prevent the conductive busbar 200 from shaking excessively and also make it easy to pick up.
[0031] This structure can not only support conductive bars 200 of different specifications at the same time, but also laterally constrain the conductive bars 200 through the limiting space 102a formed by the baffle 102, thus solving the problem of product mixing and tipping caused by the lack of positioning in traditional wooden pallets.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This illustrates the main technical content of the second specific embodiment, which is based on Embodiment 1. Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment further defines the specific structure of the transfer pallet 100 to optimize its adaptability and functionality.
[0034] Specifically, the distance between two adjacent baffles 102 is greater than 122mm. Since the width of all 10 types of conductive busbars 200 in this scenario is 122mm, setting the distance between adjacent baffles 102 to be greater than 122mm ensures that the conductive busbars 200 can be smoothly placed into the limiting space 102a, avoiding placement difficulties caused by excessively tight dimensions. Precisely adapting to the width characteristics of the conductive busbars 200 ensures smooth product placement while reserving reasonable space for the gap 102a-1.
[0035] Preferably, the lengths of the multiple baffles 102 in the X-axis direction are all equal, and the length of the baffles 102 in the X-axis direction is greater than the length of the largest conductive busbar 200. In this scenario, the maximum length of the conductive busbar 200 is 489mm, therefore the length of the baffles 102 in the X-axis direction must be greater than 489mm, for example, 500mm, and the X-axis lengths of all baffles 102 must be consistent to ensure that conductive busbars 200 of different lengths (e.g., 60-489mm) can be stably supported by the baffles 102, avoiding the conductive busbar ends from being suspended due to the baffles being too short. It is compatible with 10 different lengths of conductive busbars 200, ensuring that all specifications of products can be stably supported, thus improving the versatility of the transfer pallet 100.
[0036] Preferably, the height of the baffle 102 in the Z-axis direction is greater than or equal to the height of the m conductive bars 200 stacked along the Z-axis direction, where m is a positive integer ≤ 15. The thickness of a single conductive bar 200 is 1.8 mm, plus the thickness of the circular protrusion is 0.4 mm. The total height of 15 stacked layers is (1.8 + 0.4) x 15 = 33 mm. Therefore, in this embodiment, the Z-axis height of the baffle 102 needs to be 37 mm, which is greater than 33 mm, leaving a 4 mm safety margin. This design uses the height of the baffle 102 to create a longitudinal constraint on the stacked conductive bars, preventing them from tipping over during stacking. The 15 stacked conductive bars 200 can be stabilized by their own weight. Providing longitudinal restraint for the multi-layered stacked conductive bars 200 avoids tipping over due to transportation bumps, improving stacking stability.
[0037] Preferably, the system also includes a barrier 103, which is disposed at the end of the baffle 102 in the X-axis direction and is arranged along an axis parallel to the Y-axis. The barrier 103 is a long strip structure, fixed at both ends of the baffle 102 along the X-axis, i.e., at both ends of the conductive busbar 200 along its length, and extends along the Y-axis direction, forming a barrier to the movement of the conductive busbar 200 along the X-axis direction. This restricts the displacement of the conductive busbar 200 along its length, preventing it from slipping off the end of the pallet and further improving the safety of the transfer process.
[0038] Furthermore, it also includes support columns 104, which are located at the bottom of the support plate 101. Multiple support columns 104 are provided, forming insertion spaces 105 between the multiple support columns 104 and the bottom of the support plate 101. Insertion spaces 105 are used to accommodate forklift arms. The support columns 104 are columnar structures, for example, four, distributed at the four corners of the bottom of the support plate 101. Their height must meet the insertion requirements of forklift arms, which are typically 50-100mm thick, allowing the forklift arm to lift the entire pallet and conductive strip through the insertion spaces 105. This adapts to forklift transport methods, improves the mechanized transport efficiency of the pallet 100, and meets the logistics needs of large-scale production.
[0039] Furthermore, the support plate 101 is provided with observation holes 101a, which penetrate the upper and lower end faces of the support plate 101. The observation holes 101a can be circular or square, for example, circular holes with a diameter of 10mm, and are evenly distributed on the support plate 101. Workers can directly observe the stacking status of the conductive strips 200 above the support plate 101 through the observation holes 101a, such as whether they are tilted or whether the quantity is complete, without needing to flip the transfer tray 100. This facilitates real-time inspection of the storage status of the conductive strips 200, reduces product handling during inspection, and lowers the risk of bumps and knocks.
[0040] Example 3
[0041] See Figures 1-4 This illustrates the main technical content of the third specific embodiment, which is based on Embodiment 1. This embodiment provides a transfer device that achieves efficient stacking and transfer through the combination of multiple transfer trays 100.
[0042] Specifically, there are p transfer pallets 100, where p is a positive integer ≥ 2. These p transfer pallets 100 are stacked sequentially along the Z-axis, with the support pillars 104 of the upper transfer pallet 100 resting on the support plates 101 of the lower transfer pallet 100. For example, when three transfer pallets 100 are stacked along the Z-axis, the support pillars 104 of the upper transfer pallet 100 directly rest on the support plates 101 of the lower pallet. The contact between the support pillars 104 and the support plates 101 ensures stable stacking and prevents lateral shifting of the transfer pallets 100. This vertical stacking of multiple transfer pallets 100 significantly improves the space utilization rate of warehousing and transportation, and reduces logistics costs.
[0043] Preferably, the transfer pallet 100 further includes positioning posts 106. Positioning posts 106 are provided on the support plate 101 and / or the enclosure 103, and positioning holes 104a are provided at the bottom of the support columns 104. The positioning posts 106 of the lower layer are inserted into the positioning holes 104a of the upper layer. The positioning posts 106 are cylindrical protrusions, for example, with a diameter of 20mm and a height of 10mm, and are provided on the support plate 101 or enclosure 103 of the lower transfer pallet 100. The positioning holes 104a are grooves that match the positioning posts 106 and are formed at the bottom of the support columns 104 of the upper transfer pallet 100. During stacking, the positioning posts 106 are inserted into the positioning holes 104a to achieve precise positioning. The insertion and engagement of the positioning posts 106 and the positioning holes 104a prevents lateral sliding of the transfer pallet 100 during stacking, improving the stability of multi-layer stacking, and is especially suitable for transporting items that experience bumps.
[0044] Furthermore, the height of the stacked m conductive bars 200 is less than the distance between the support plate 101 of the current layer and the support plate 101 of the layer above. For example, if the total height of 15 layers of conductive bars is 33mm, the distance between two support plates, i.e., the height of the upper support column 104, must be greater than 33mm to ensure that the support plate of the upper pallet does not squeeze the conductive bars 200 of the lower layer. This avoids the upper pallet squeezing the lower conductive bars during stacking, protects the 1.8mm thin conductive bars from deformation and damage, and ensures product quality.
[0045] Finally, this utility model achieves multiple beneficial effects through structural optimization of the transfer pallet 100 and the transfer device:
[0046] Enhanced protection: The design of baffle 102 limiting space 102a, enclosure 103, and gap 102a-1 effectively prevents the conductive busbar 200 from tipping over or bumping during transport, protecting the appearance and structural integrity of the 1.8mm thin conductive busbar. Enhanced compatibility: Adapts to 10 types of conductive busbars 200 with lengths ranging from 60 to 489mm and widths of 122mm, supporting individual or mixed placement to meet the transport needs of various product specifications. Optimized transport efficiency: Supports forklift and hoisting operations, multi-layer stacking ≤15 layers, and precise docking with positioning posts 106, improving space utilization and mechanized handling efficiency. Improved ease of operation: The observation hole 101a facilitates status inspection, and the transport pallet 100 can be distinguished by different colors, such as internal circulation and external dispatch, to assist in classification management and reduce operational complexity.
[0047] Overall, this utility model solves many of the shortcomings of traditional wooden pallets in the transportation of conductive busbars, and provides a dedicated, efficient and stable transportation solution for 1.8mm conductive busbars. It is suitable for scenarios with high requirements for the quality of conductive busbars, such as the busbar industry.
