Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a main pallet assembly, and more particularly to a main pallet assembly for smart vending machines. Background Technology
[0002] Smart vending machines utilize pallet assemblies to support pallets containing materials, storing them using the vertical storage space of the vending machine. When materials are to be retrieved or placed, a conveyor system removes the pallet from the pallet assembly and moves it to the exit. Since existing pallets are long, the entire pallet and all items on it must be removed during retrieval, placing high demands on the load-bearing capacity of the moving parts and causing faster wear on the transmission structure. Using small storage boxes instead of pallets can solve the problem of high demands on the moving parts, but retrieving small storage boxes one by one results in very low storage and retrieval efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a main tray assembly that can meet the needs of storing or retrieving small storage boxes as a whole or independently.
[0004] To achieve this objective, the structure adopted by this utility model is as follows: a main tray assembly, including a crossbeam, longitudinal beams and brackets, with two longitudinal beams symmetrically connected to both ends of the crossbeam to form a U-shaped frame, and multiple parallel brackets evenly arranged on the crossbeam. One end of the bracket is connected to the crossbeam through a connector and a reinforcing connector, and the bottom of the storage box is mounted on two adjacent brackets.
[0005] The reinforcing connector is a trapezoidal block structure with two connecting blocks symmetrically connected at both ends. Both the connecting blocks and the reinforcing connector are provided with a first connecting hole. One of the two connecting blocks is connected to the bracket, and the other is connected to the crossbeam.
[0006] The connector comprises two connecting pieces and a reinforcing piece forming an A-shaped structure. The connecting pieces are provided with a second connecting hole, and the two connecting pieces are respectively connected to the bracket and the crossbeam.
[0007] One end of the bracket is connected to the crossbeam, and the other end is equipped with a T-shaped baffle.
[0008] The bracket has multiple stops arranged in the center of its top.
[0009] The top two sides of the block have a roof-shaped sloping surface.
[0010] Two sliding grooves are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the longitudinal beam, and a hook is connected to one end of each sliding groove.
[0011] The reinforcing connector is located at the top of the bracket.
[0012] Its beneficial effects are: the structure of this utility model is reasonable and ingenious, opening one side of the originally closed pallet rack to facilitate the entry and exit of the storage box from the opening side. Multiple storage boxes are used to divide the space above the main pallet assembly into multiple spaces. When retrieving items, the entire pallet can be removed or individual storage boxes can be retrieved, improving the flexibility of the container and increasing storage and retrieval efficiency.

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "both ends," "one end," and "the other end," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used solely for the convenience of describing this utility model and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components; a fixed connection can be welding or adhesive bonding. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0021] like Figure 1The main pallet assembly shown includes a crossbeam 1, longitudinal beams 2, and brackets 3. Two longitudinal beams 2 are symmetrically connected to both ends of the crossbeam 1, forming a U-shaped frame. Multiple parallel brackets 3 are evenly arranged on the crossbeam 1, with the brackets 3 and longitudinal beams 2 located on the same side of the crossbeam 1. The height of the brackets 3 is less than the height of the longitudinal beams 2. The distance between the brackets 3 is set according to the width of the storage box 4. Figure 2 As shown, one end of the bracket 3 is connected to the crossbeam 1 via the connector 8 and the reinforcing connector 7, and the bottom of the storage box 4 is mounted on the two adjacent brackets 3.
[0022] The U-shaped frame with an opening on one side makes it easier for the storage box 4 to enter and exit through the opening. Furthermore, since the bracket 3 arranges the space inside the recess according to the width of the storage box 4, multiple storage boxes 4 can be placed on the U-shaped frame at the same time. Each storage box 4 can be taken out individually, or the U-shaped frame can be taken out as a whole with all the storage boxes 4 connected, making it more flexible to use.
[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the reinforcing connector 7 is a trapezoidal block structure, with its narrower end facing the connection between the bracket 3 and the crossbeam 1, forming a triangular gap between the reinforcing connector 7, the bracket 3, and the crossbeam 1. Two connecting blocks 71 are symmetrically connected to both ends of the reinforcing connector 7. Both the connecting blocks 71 and the reinforcing connector 7 have first connecting holes 72. One connecting block 71 connects to the bracket 3, and the other connects to the crossbeam 1. The reinforcing connector 7 is located at the top of the bracket 3, exerting a tensile force on the bracket 3 and enhancing its load-bearing capacity.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the connector 8 comprises two connecting pieces 81 and a reinforcing piece 82 forming an A-shaped structure. The connecting pieces 81 are provided with a second connecting hole 83. The two connecting pieces 81 are respectively connected to the bracket 3 and the crossbeam 1. A connector 8 is provided on both sides of each bracket 3 to strengthen the connection between the bracket 3 and the crossbeam 1 without affecting the passage of the storage box 4.
[0025] One end of the bracket 3 is connected to the crossbeam 1, and the other end is provided with a T-shaped baffle 5. The top width of the T-shaped baffle 5 is greater than that of the bracket 3, and the top of the T-shaped baffle 5 is flush with the top surface of the bracket 3. Since the bottom width of the storage box 4 is less than the distance between two adjacent brackets 3, after the storage box 4 is placed on the bracket 3, the T-shaped baffle 5 can limit the bottom of the storage box 4 and prevent the storage box 4 from slipping.
[0026] Multiple blocks 6 are arranged in the center of the top of the bracket 3. The blocks 6 symmetrically separate the top surface of the bracket 3, so that the bottom of two storage boxes 4 can be supported on one bracket 3 at the same time. The top sides of the blocks 6 are roof-shaped slopes, which facilitate the sliding of the storage boxes 4 onto the bracket 3.
[0027] Two symmetrical sliding grooves 9 are provided on the outer side of the longitudinal beam 2. One end of each sliding groove 9 is connected to a hook 10. The sliding groove 9 and the hook 10 cooperate to facilitate the movement of the entire main pallet assembly on the container.
[0028] Based on the above description and inspired by this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
