Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of product storage devices, specifically relating to a product tray assembly and device. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, miniaturized products (such as ink cartridges) often require pallet assemblies for initial centralized loading before being transferred to other workstations or undergoing final packaging. Typically, multiple separators divide the storage space inside the pallet into multiple storage compartments, each for one product; this allows multiple products to be stored neatly and independently within the pallet.

[0003] In existing technologies, pallets and their separators are integrally molded using injection molding. This simplifies the structure and helps control costs, but it suffers from poor compatibility. Specifically, as market demands diversify, miniaturized products often include multiple models and sizes, and these are constantly changing and being adjusted. However, existing integrally molded pallets, because their separators are fixed, have a fixed storage space size, meaning they can only accommodate one type of product and are not compatible with different products. If a separate pallet were to be manufactured for each product, multiple sets of injection molds would need to be developed, significantly increasing costs. Utility Model Content

[0033] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the illustration, this embodiment provides a product tray assembly 100, including a tray 10 and a plurality of separators 20 disposed within the tray 10. The separators are used to isolate a plurality of storage slots 110 within the tray 10, each storage slot 110 for storing one product, for example, each storage slot 110 for storing one ink cartridge. It is understood that ink cartridges have different external dimensions to match various printing devices. To make the storage slots 110 of the product tray assembly 100 of this embodiment adjustable in size and adaptable to the stable storage of various products, this embodiment has made structural innovations, making the product tray assembly 100 more compatible, as detailed below.

[0034] The inner bottom of the tray 10 is provided with a front-to-back extending mounting groove 11. The mounting groove 11 can be a single groove or multiple grooves arranged in parallel, for example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 There are two groups, two in each group; the mounting slots 11 are elongated, and each mounting slot 11 has limit mechanisms 12 distributed along its front and rear directions. Combined with... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each isolation element 20 includes a mounting base 21, an isolation plate 22, and a positioning mechanism 23.

[0035] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the limiting mechanism 12 includes snap-fit ​​components 120 respectively disposed on the left and right side walls of the mounting groove 11; correspondingly, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the positioning mechanism 23 includes snap-fit ​​components 230 located on the left and right sides of the mounting base 21 for engaging with the snap-fit ​​component 120.

[0036] Combination Figure 3 As shown in the illustration, in a specific embodiment, the snap-fit ​​assembly 120 provided on the tray 10 includes a transverse fitting groove 121 and a plurality of longitudinal limiting grooves 122. The transverse fitting groove 121 is formed by opening laterally inward from the lower part of the sidewalls on both sides of the mounting groove 11, and the plurality of longitudinal limiting grooves 122 are formed by opening longitudinally inward from the upper part of the sidewalls on both sides of the mounting groove 11. The transverse fitting groove 121 extends continuously along the front-back direction of the mounting groove 11, and the plurality of longitudinal limiting grooves 122 are distributed dispersedly along the front-back direction of the mounting groove 11. Correspondingly, the snap-fit ​​assembly 230 provided on the separator 20 includes: a fitting block 231 for embedding into the transverse fitting groove 121, a positioning protrusion 232 provided above the fitting block 231 for snapping into the longitudinal limiting groove 122, and an elastic arm 233.

Furthermore, when the positioning protrusion 232 is inserted into the longitudinal limiting groove 122, the isolation member 20 is restricted from moving back and forth. Thus, the position of the isolation member 20 is adjustable and assembled in the predetermined position in the front and back direction of the mounting groove 11, thereby realizing the adjustable size of the storage position 110.

[0038] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the elastic arm 233 of the snap-fit ​​assembly 230 provided on the isolator 20 is arranged longitudinally.

In addition, each longitudinal limiting groove 122 corresponding to the left and right sides of the mounting groove 11 is provided with a corresponding scale to facilitate determining the installation position of the spacer 20.

[0041] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the mounting groove 11 provided on the inner bottom of the tray 10 is provided with guide protrusions 119 distributed in the front and back direction; correspondingly, the bottom of the mounting base 21 of the spacer 20 is provided with a guide groove 219 that fits into the guide protrusions 119. Through the cooperation of the guide protrusions 119 and the guide groove 219, the spacer 20 can move more stably in the mounting groove 11 and adjust its position.

[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the product pallet assembly 100 further includes a partition plate 50, which is fixedly disposed inside the pallet 10 to divide the internal space of the pallet 10 into several sub-spaces; each sub-space is provided with at least two mounting slots 11.
