[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Example 1

[0026] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses a pallet structure for automated storage and retrieval systems, comprising:

[0027] Support assembly 1, which includes a platform 11, support legs 12 and guardrails 13. The guardrails 13 are provided on both sides of the top of the platform 11, and a plurality of support legs 12 are arranged around the bottom of the platform 11.

[0028] The conveying and bearing assembly 2 includes multiple bearing plates 21 and connecting rods 22. A pair of bearing plates 21 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support leg 12. The bearing plates 21 are parallel to the platform 11, and the bottom of the bearing plates 21 is flush with the bottom of the support leg 12. One end of the bearing plate 21 is detachably connected to the support leg 12. One end of the connecting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the bearing plate 21, and the other end of the connecting rod 22 is detachably connected to the platform 11.

[0029] The pallet structure of this utility model includes a support assembly 1 and a conveying and carrying assembly 2 disposed at the bottom of the pallet. The top of the platform 11 of the support assembly 1 is used to place the goods to be transferred, while guardrails 13 on both sides of the platform 11 restrict the movement of rotating goods and prevent them from falling during transfer. Support legs 12 are disposed at the bottom of the platform 11 to elevate the entire platform 11 for easy cooperation with forks. Each support leg 12 has a carrying plate 21 on both sides, which allows for conveying on automated conveyor lines. To ensure the stability of the carrying plate 21, a connecting rod 22 is provided between the other end of the carrying plate 21 and the platform 11. During use, the bottom of the carrying plate 21 is flush with the bottom of the support leg 12, ensuring the stability of the entire pallet. As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support legs 12 are detachably connected to the platform 11 by bolts; similarly, the connecting rods 22 are bolted to the platform 11 and to the support legs 12. The support leg 12, the bearing plate 21, and the connecting rod 22 are modularized. If one of the components is damaged during transportation, a new component can be directly replaced, enabling rapid repair of the pallet and facilitating maintenance.

[0030] Furthermore, a reinforcing frame 23 is provided at the bottom of the platform 11. The bottom of the reinforcing frame 23 is flush with the bottom of the support leg 12, and the reinforcing frame 23 is detachably connected to the platform 11.

[0031] Specifically, the structure of the entire platform 11 includes a support plate and a support frame structure set at the bottom of the support plate. Multiple support legs 12 are arranged circumferentially on the outside of the platform 11. As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a reinforcing frame 23 is set at the bottom of the platform 11. In actual installation, the reinforcing frame 23 is installed on the center line of the platform 11 and needs to avoid the position of the forks. The reinforcing frame 23 can improve the load-bearing capacity of the platform 11.

[0032] Furthermore, a first barcode labeling plate 24 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the platform 11, and a second barcode labeling plate 25 is provided on the bottom of the platform 11.

[0033] Specifically, identification codes are affixed to the first barcode labeling plate 24 and the second barcode labeling plate 25. The identification codes record the pallet number and product information, which are suitable for handling and conveying in automated production lines.

[0034] Furthermore, the top of the platform 11 is provided with a guide tube 14 that cooperates with the guardrail 13, and the two ends of the guardrail 13 are provided with support rods 131, which pass through the guide tube 14.

[0035] Specifically, the guardrail 13 and the platform 11 are connected by a guide tube 14, through which the support rods 131 on both sides of the guardrail 13 are inserted. As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the guide tube 14 has a notch on the side closest to the opposite guardrail 13, and the surface of the support rod 131 has an axially oriented elongated hole 132. A pivot 15 passes between the guide tube 14 and the support rod 131, and the pivot 15 passes through the elongated hole 132. The elongated hole 132 allows for adjustment of the guardrail 13 within the guide tube 14, and the pivot 15 allows for flipping and folding of the guardrail 13, reducing the overall footprint of the pallet.

[0036] Furthermore, the support rod 131 is provided with a positioning shaft 16 passing through the top of the elongated hole 132, and the top of the guide tube 14 is provided with a slot 141, and both ends of the positioning shaft 16 are engaged in the slot 141.

[0037] Specifically, during the use of the entire pallet, the positioning shaft 16 is locked in the slot 141 to ensure that the guardrail 13 can be stably placed on both sides of the support platform. When the pallet is not in use, the guardrail 13 is raised so that the positioning shaft 16 leaves the slot 141, and the guardrail 13 is folded by the pivot 15.

[0038] Furthermore, the opening size of the slot 141 is larger than the diameter of the positioning shaft 16. Specifically, the entire slot 141 is V-shaped, which guides the positioning shaft 16 and facilitates the insertion of the positioning shaft 16 into the slot 141.

[0039] Furthermore, the guide tube 14 is provided with a fixing clip 17 on the notch side, and the fixing clip 17 is clamped on both sides of the guide tube 14.

[0040] Specifically, the entire guide tube 14 is U-shaped, and the fixing clip 17 is set on one side of the notch of the guide tube 14 to clamp the notch and limit the notch of the guide tube 14 to prevent the guide tube 14 from opening during use.

[0041] Furthermore, a sealing plate 133 is provided on the surface of the guardrail 13. Specifically, the entire guardrail 13 has a frame structure, and the sealing plate 133 is provided on the surface of the guardrail 13 to improve the protective performance of the guardrail 13 and prevent goods from falling out from the gaps in the guardrail 13. Example 2

[0042] An automated storage and retrieval system (AS / RS) includes the pallet structure for AS / RS described in Embodiment 1.

[0043] In summary, this utility model introduces a pallet structure and automated storage and retrieval system (AS / RS) for use in automated warehouses. By setting a support plate 21 at the bottom of the platform 11, it can meet the requirements for both ground use and automated conveyor lines. Secondly, by modularizing the support legs 12, support plate 21, and connecting rod 22, if the pallet is damaged during transport, new parts can be directly replaced, enabling rapid pallet repair and facilitating maintenance. Finally, the guardrail 13 is hinged to the platform 11, allowing the guardrail 13 to be folded, reducing the overall footprint of the pallet.

[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
