Detailed Implementation

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0015] Reference Figure 1-4 A folding tray for sterilization of flexible packaging includes a five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4, which is the core load-bearing component of the entire tray. The five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4 is a stamped one-piece structure, which makes the overall structure continuous and without splicing gaps. This not only ensures the strength and stability of the mesh plate itself, but also avoids the hygiene dead corners that may be caused by splicing, and better meets the high cleanliness requirements of sterilization equipment in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

[0016] To further enhance the strength of the five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4, the reinforcing ribs of the five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4 are arranged transversely along the five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4. At the bottom of the five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4, a tie rib 7 is also arranged longitudinally along the five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4. The tie rib 7 is arranged at a 90° angle to the reinforcing ribs of the five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4 to form a stable grid frame. This effectively distributes the weight of the pallet, improves the overall structural strength of the five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4, and prevents the mesh plate from deforming or being damaged due to uneven stress during long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the pallet.

[0017] The five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4 has regularly arranged mesh holes of different sizes. The size and spacing of the mesh holes are carefully designed to ensure that the flexible packaging products can be placed stably on the mesh plate while ensuring that the sterilization medium (such as steam, hot water, etc.) can fully penetrate and act evenly on the products inside the flexible packaging, thereby achieving a highly efficient and thorough sterilization effect.

[0018] Uprights 3 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4 to provide a solid frame support for the entire pallet. Horizontal support pipes 1 are fixedly installed between the uprights 3 on both sides of the five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4 and are also fixedly installed between the uprights 3 on both sides of the five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4 and are also fixedly connected to the five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4. The horizontal support pipes 1 connect the uprights 3 on both sides and enhance the lateral structural strength of the pallet. The vertical support pipes 8 and the horizontal support pipes 1 work together to form the frame structure of the pallet, further improving the overall stability and load-bearing capacity of the pallet. Preferably, both the horizontal support pipes 1 and the vertical support pipes 8 are made of stainless steel, which has advantages such as corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, high strength, and easy cleaning. It is very suitable for the sterilization environment of the pharmaceutical and food industries, ensuring that the pallet is not corroded by sterilization media during long-term use and always maintains good performance and hygiene.

[0019] A groove 9 is provided on the side of the transverse support tube 1 or the longitudinal support tube 8 to facilitate pallet stacking operations. This allows operators to use tools to stack the pallets. Reinforcement is also welded inside the groove 9 to effectively enhance the structural strength of the groove 9 and prevent deformation or damage to the groove 9 due to excessive force during stacking, thus ensuring the smooth progress of pallet stacking operations. Preferably, the groove 9 is provided on the transverse support tube 1, and two grooves 9 are provided on each transverse support tube 1.

[0020] A positioning pin 6 is provided at the top of the horizontal support tube 1 or the vertical support tube 8 to facilitate pallet stacking. A positioning pin hole is provided at the bottom of the horizontal support tube 1 or the vertical support tube 8 directly below the positioning pin 6. When pallet stacking is performed, the positioning pin 6 is inserted into the positioning pin hole to ensure that the upper and lower pallets are accurately aligned, avoiding tipping or sliding caused by uneven stacking, thus improving the stability and safety of pallet stacking. It also facilitates automated pallet loading and unloading operations. Preferably, the positioning pin 6 is provided on the vertical support tube 8, and one positioning pin 6 is provided on each vertical support tube 8.

[0021] In actual use, several support columns 5 are also installed on the top of the horizontal support tube 1 or the vertical support tube 8 to provide additional support when the pallets are stacked, increase the contact area between the upper and lower pallets, further enhance the stacking stability, and prevent the pallets from tipping over or shifting due to vibration or shaking during sterilization or transportation.

[0022] This application provides a folding tray for flexible packaging sterilization, which can be used in automated production lines to facilitate automatic folding and unfolding by equipment. Its specific working principle is as follows: 1. Supports flexible packaging products The flexible packaged products to be sterilized are placed stably on the five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4. Since the mesh plate has evenly distributed regular mesh holes of different sizes, the bottom of the flexible packaged products is in contact with the mesh holes, which not only ensures the stability of the products but also does not affect the flow of sterilization media. At the same time, the stable grid frame formed by the reinforcing ribs and tie rods 7 of the five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4 can evenly distribute the weight of the flexible packaged products, avoid excessive local stress on the mesh plate and deformation, and ensure the structural stability of the pallet when carrying the products. 2. Sterilization process The tray containing the flexible packaged product is placed in the sterilization equipment (such as a steam sterilizer, chemical disinfectant soaking tank, etc.). During the sterilization process, the sterilization medium (such as steam, disinfectant, etc.) can freely penetrate through the mesh on the five-ribbed perforated mesh plate 4 and act evenly on the product inside the flexible package. The regular arrangement and reasonable size design of the mesh allow the sterilization medium to contact the product in all directions without dead angles, thereby achieving a highly efficient and thorough sterilization effect. 3. Folding and unfolding operations After sterilization, the trays are removed from the sterilization equipment and folded for storage and transportation. An external automatic tray unpacking machine can be used in conjunction with the groove 9 on the side of the horizontal support tube 1 for automatic unpacking. The design of the groove 9 meets the requirements of the automatic tray unpacking machine, allowing the machine to directly act on the groove 9, making it easy to fold or unfold the trays. The reinforcing plate 2 inside the groove 9 enhances the structural strength of the groove 9, ensuring that the groove 9 will not deform or be damaged due to excessive force during the unpacking process, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the unpacking operation and the reuse of the trays. 4. Overlay operation When stacking, align the positioning pin 6 at the top of the longitudinal support tube 8 of the lower tray with the positioning pin hole at the bottom of the longitudinal support tube 8 of the upper tray, and then slowly lower the upper tray so that the positioning pin 6 is accurately inserted into the positioning pin hole. The precise fit between the positioning pin 6 and the positioning pin hole can ensure that the upper and lower trays are accurately aligned, avoiding tipping or sliding caused by uneven stacking. Meanwhile, the support column 5 at the top of the horizontal support tube 1 or the vertical support tube 8 provides additional support when pallets are stacked, increases the contact area between the upper and lower pallets, further enhances the stacking stability, and prevents the pallets from tipping over or shifting due to vibration or shaking during transportation, thus ensuring the safe transportation and storage of flexible packaging products.
