[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a variable-size pallet includes a pallet body 1 and side members. The pallet body 1 is rectangular and has a pair of parallel first side surfaces 101 and a pair of parallel second side surfaces 102, wherein the length of the first side surface 101 is less than the length of the second side surface 102. The side members include a first unit component 201 and a second unit component 202, the lengths of which are both equal to half the length of the first side surface 102. One end of the first unit component 201 and one end of the second unit component 202 can be connected to each other, and the other ends of both the first unit component 201 and the second unit component 202 have rounded corners 203. After the first unit component 201 and the second unit component 202 are fitted together, they form a... One side component, the side of the first side component and the surface of the first side 101 can be connected to each other; moreover, the first unit component 201 and the second unit component 202 can also be connected by a connecting component 204, the length of the connecting component 204 is equal to the length difference between the second side 102 and the first side 101, the connecting component 204, the first unit component 201 and the second unit component 202 are fitted together to form the second side component, the side of the second side component and the surface of the second side 102 can be connected to each other; the height of the first side 101, the second side 102, the first unit component 201, the second unit component 202 and the connecting component 204 are the same, and the width of the first unit component 201, the second unit component 202 and the connecting component 204 are the same.
[0025] The first side 101 of the pallet body 1 has a length of 1000mm, the second side 102 has a length of 1100mm, the first unit component 201 and the second unit component 202 have a length of 500mm, the connecting component 204 has a length of 100mm, and the width of the first unit component 201, the second unit component 202, and the connecting component 204 is 50mm. Figure 1 In the first side component, the length is 1000mm, and the side of the first side component is connected to the surface of the first side 101. The overall dimensions of the pallet are 1200mm × 1000mm. Figure 2 In the middle, the length of the second side component is 1100mm, and the side of the second side component is connected to the surface of the second side 102. The overall size of the pallet is 1100mm×1100mm.
[0026] The pallet body 1 has a tracking module mounting position 3 at its center, and a card-type RFID mounting position 4 and a neck-type anti-slip pad 5 at each of its four corners. The first unit component 201 and the second unit component 202 each have a side-reserved marking area 6 at one end of their rounded corner 203. The connecting component 204 also has a side-reserved marking area 6 on its side. The tracking module mounting position 3 is horizontally mounted, the card-type RFID mounting position 4 is a snap-on cover, and the neck-type anti-slip pad 5 is fixed to the surface of the pallet body 1 by snap-on fasteners. The side-reserved marking area 6 contains replaceable letter blocks.
[0027] The working principle of a variable-size pallet based on Embodiment 1 is as follows:
[0028] One end of the first unit component 201 is fitted with a recess at one end of the second unit component 202 through a protrusion. The side of the first side component is fitted with a recess on the surface of the first side surface 101 through a protrusion. One end of the connecting component 204 is fitted with a protrusion of the first unit component 201 through a recess. The other end of the connecting component 204 is fitted with a recess on the surface of the second unit component 202 through a protrusion. The side of the second side component is fitted with a recess on the surface of the second side surface 102 through a protrusion.
[0029] The side member is installed on the side of the pallet body 1 to adjust the overall size of the pallet, and the length of the side member is adjusted by the connecting part 204 so that the side member can be flexibly set on the side of the pallet body 1 at different lengths.
[0030] The pallet body 1 has a tracking module mounting position 3 in the center and adopts a horizontal installation, which is more conducive to the signal reception of the module. In addition, there is a card-type RFID mounting position 4 at each of the four corners of the pallet body 1, which facilitates RFID signal sensing. The snap-on cover is easy to install flexibly, making it less likely for goods and pallets to be damaged or lost during transportation.
[0031] A neck-type anti-slip pad 5 is provided at each of the four corners of the pallet body 1 to prevent goods from slipping off the pallet. The neck-type anti-slip pad 5 is fixed to the surface of the pallet body 1 by a snap-on method to prevent the neck-type anti-slip pad 5 from falling off.
[0032] The side component is provided with a side reserved marking area 6 to facilitate the staff to find the goods, and the side reserved marking area 6 is provided with replaceable letter blocks to facilitate flexible changes to the content of the marking area.
[0033] RFID positioning requires frequent signal transmission to a specific target via a radio antenna. In environments with dense antenna base stations, its area positioning accuracy is high. Therefore, RFID signal sensing can be used to track and locate a tray. GPS positioning has very low dependence on ground base stations and can still provide positioning services even without ground base stations, although its accuracy is not as good as RFID positioning.
[0034] RFID positioning heavily relies on terrestrial communication network base stations, i.e., terrestrial cellular mobile communication networks. Without antenna base station support, the effective range of RFID is very limited, or even unusable, necessitating the installation of a tracking module that utilizes GPS for tracking and positioning.
[0035] GPS positioning consumes a lot of power and requires a large battery capacity to support long-term satellite signal reception and processing. Bluetooth positioning consumes less power and uses batteries with longer lifespans, typically lasting for months or even years, but its accuracy is lower than GPS positioning. Therefore, to save power, the tracking module at position 3 needs to use Bluetooth for tracking and positioning.
[0036] The tracking module mounting position 3 can also use a network card for tracking and positioning. Therefore, users can flexibly choose to use RFID, GPS, Bluetooth, or a network card for positioning and tracking based on the environment's antenna base station, satellite signal, Bluetooth signal, network signal, and battery power and consumption requirements.
[0037] The above specific embodiments are merely several preferred embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
