Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flat forklift pallets, specifically a flat forklift loading pallet. Background Technology

[0002] A flat pallet is a horizontal platform device used for containerizing, stacking, and transporting goods. It is usually made of materials such as wood, plastic, or metal. When used in conjunction with a forklift, it can significantly improve loading and unloading efficiency, realize mechanized handling and unitized management of goods, and effectively protect the safety of goods and reduce damage. Common pallet types include flat pallets, box pallets, and post pallets. Their specifications follow international or regional standards to adapt to different logistics links and operational needs.

[0003] Currently, forklift pallets are typically made of wood or injection-molded plastic, resulting in relatively low structural strength. When forklifts move the pallets, they cause significant stress on the joints, leading to wear and even deformation. Therefore, the inventors urgently need to design a structure that reinforces the forklift joints in the pallet to extend its service life. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a flat fork loading pallet to solve the technical problem of easy wear and deformation of the pallet's insertion points during forklift operations.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flat fork loading pallet, comprising a pallet body, on which two sets of slots are formed, and a support component is provided above the interior of the slots to strengthen the structural strength of the insertion points. The support component includes a limiting strip, and a locking plate is engaged on the inner side of the limiting strip. The surface of the locking plate has a positioning hole, and a screw is threaded into the positioning hole, with the end of the screw abutting against the limiting strip to limit the position of the locking plate.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a special support component is set above the slot inside the tray body. This component is formed by the cooperation of the limiting strip and the snap-fit ​​plate, and is fastened by the screw passing through the positioning hole, thus forming a modular reinforcement structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the limiting strip consists of two sets of mirror-image "L"-shaped fixing strips, which are integrally injection molded with the tray body, and the tray plate has an I-shaped cross-section.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the "L"-shaped structure can provide effective support and restraint from the side and bottom of the pallet at the same time. The integral molding with the pallet body ensures that the restraint strip has extremely high connection strength, avoiding the risk of loosening and falling off that may occur during separate installation, making the entire support structure more stable and reliable.

[0009] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes a mounting plate, which is integrally injection molded with the tray body, and a reinforcing plate is detachably connected to the inner side of the mounting plate via bolts and mounting holes.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate is integrally injection molded with the pallet body, making it an inseparable and sturdy part of the pallet body, providing a strong installation foundation for the reinforcement. The reinforcement plate is detachably connected by bolts and mounting holes, which means that while it undertakes the function of structural reinforcement, it also has the advantage of easy replacement and maintenance.

[0011] Furthermore, the reinforcing plate has a "C" shaped cross-section, and a second limiting groove is formed on the inner side of the reinforcing plate. Limiting side plates are fixedly provided on both sides below the card plate, and a first limiting groove is formed on the inner side. The inner sides of the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are used to limit the forklift teeth.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the "C"-shaped cross-section of the reinforcing plate and the first and second limiting grooves formed by the plate and the lower limiting side plate of the clamping plate are defined, achieving precise guidance and effective constraint of the forklift teeth. The "C"-shaped structure itself has high rigidity and can wrap around the sides of the forks.

[0013] Furthermore, the surfaces of both the card plate and the reinforcing plate are treated with a frosted finish.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the friction coefficient between the forks and the contact surface is greatly increased. The micro-rough surface formed after sanding creates greater static friction, which can effectively prevent the forks from sliding relative to each other on the pallet and reinforcement plate when starting, braking or traveling on uneven road surfaces while carrying heavy loads.

[0015] Furthermore, both the card plate and the reinforcing plate are made of stainless steel.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, stainless steel has extremely high hardness, strength and excellent wear resistance. Its wear resistance is far superior to that of ordinary plastics or wood. It can easily withstand long-term repeated scratching and impact on the metal surface of the forks, greatly slowing down the wear process and ensuring the dimensional integrity and functional reliability of the support components under long-term use.

[0017] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the tray body is inlaid with anti-slip blocks, and the surface of the tray body is formed with several through holes.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip block effectively increases the friction between the pallet and the ground, preventing the pallet from sliding accidentally when subjected to slight external force or vehicle vibration, avoiding the risk of goods tipping over, and also facilitating precise picking by forklifts.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages: 1. This utility model improves wear and impact resistance by setting a detachable support component in the pallet slot. The card plate in the support component is fixed by the limiting strip and locked with screws, bearing the main friction and pressure of the forklift forks. At the same time, the I-shaped structure of the card plate and the C-shaped structure of the reinforcing plate provide higher rigidity, which can effectively disperse concentrated stress and improve the service life of the pallet. 2. This utility model uses the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove to support the first limiting groove or the second limiting groove formed by the component, which guides and limits the forklift teeth, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the forklift operation.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] Example 1: A type of flat fork loading pallet, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the pallet includes a pallet body 1 with two sets of slots 2. A support assembly 3 is located above the interior of each slot 2 to strengthen the structural integrity of the insertion points. The support assembly 3 includes a limiting strip 301, with a locking plate 302 engaged on the inner side of the limiting strip 301. The locking plate 302 has positioning holes 305 on its surface, with screws threaded into the holes. The screws abut against the limiting strip 301 to restrict the position of the locking plate 302. The support assembly 3, located above the interior of the slots 2 in the pallet body 1, utilizes the engagement of the limiting strip 301 and the engaging locking plate 302 to enhance the structural strength of the insertion points. The screws passing through the positioning holes 305 are tightened to form a modular reinforced structure. When the forklift forks are repeatedly inserted and withdrawn, the huge impact and friction will no longer act directly on the plastic or wooden pallet body, but will be directly borne by the stronger pallet plate 302. This effectively avoids plastic deformation, cracking or excessive wear at the insertion points of the pallet body 1, fundamentally extending the overall service life of the pallet. Once the pallet plate 302 wears down to the safety threshold due to long-term use, the operator does not need to replace the entire pallet at an expensive cost. They can simply loosen the screws, remove the old pallet, and replace it with a new one, which greatly reduces maintenance costs and time costs.

[0024] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The limiting strip 301 consists of two sets of mirror-image "L"-shaped fixing strips. The limiting strip 301 is integrally injection molded with the pallet body 1. The cross-section of the pallet plate 302 is I-shaped. The "L"-shaped structure can provide effective support and limiting from the side and bottom of the pallet plate 302 at the same time. The integral molding with the pallet body 1 ensures that the limiting strip 301 has extremely high connection strength, avoiding the risk of loosening and falling off that may occur during separate installation, making the entire support structure more stable and reliable. At the same time, limiting the cross-section of the pallet plate 302 to an I-shaped structure means that the pallet plate 302 of this shape has excellent bending and deformation resistance, and can effectively resist the vertical pressure applied by the forks.

[0025] Example 2: See Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6The support component 3 also includes a mounting plate 306, which is integrally injection molded with the pallet body 1. The inner side of the mounting plate 306 is detachably connected to a reinforcing plate 307 via bolts and mounting holes 309. The integral injection molding of the mounting plate 306 with the pallet body 1 makes it an inseparable and robust part of the pallet body, providing a strong installation foundation for the reinforcing components. The detachable connection of the reinforcing plate 307 via bolts and mounting holes 309 means that while it undertakes the structural reinforcement function, it also has the advantage of easy replacement and maintenance. At the same time, when the forks are inserted, the force is first transmitted to the reinforcing plate 307, which can more effectively disperse and absorb impact energy, transforming concentrated stress into distributed stress, and minimizing the burden on the plastic pallet body 1.

[0026] See Figure 2 , Figure 5 The reinforcing plate 307 has a C-shaped cross-section. A second limiting groove 308 is formed on the inner side of the reinforcing plate 307. Limiting side plates 303 are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower part of the clamping plate 302, and a first limiting groove 304 is formed on their inner sides. The inner sides of the first limiting groove 304 and the second limiting groove 308 are used to limit the forklift teeth, defining the C-shaped cross-section of the reinforcing plate 307 and the first and second limiting grooves 304 and 308 formed by it and the lower limiting side plates 303 of the clamping plate 302. This achieves precise guidance and effective constraint of the forklift teeth. The C-shaped structure itself has high rigidity and can wrap around the sides of the forks. At the same time, the channel formed by the first limiting groove 304 or the second limiting groove 308 greatly improves the operational stability and safety of the forklift during operation. It can prevent the forks from laterally swinging when entering the slot 2, ensuring a smooth and stable insertion process.

[0027] See Figure 2 , Figure 5 Both the pallet plate 302 and the reinforcing plate 307 are treated with a frosted process, which greatly increases the coefficient of friction between the forks and the contact surface. The micro-rough surface formed after the frosting process creates greater static friction, which can effectively prevent the forks from sliding relative to each other on the surfaces of the pallet plate 302 and the reinforcing plate 307 when starting, braking or traveling on uneven roads while carrying heavy loads. At the same time, the increased friction plays a positive role in buffering and damping. When the forks are inserted, the frosted surface provides sufficient friction.

[0028] See Figure 2 , Figure 5Both the pallet 302 and the reinforcing plate 307 are made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has extremely high hardness, strength, and excellent wear resistance. Its wear resistance is far superior to that of ordinary plastics or wood. It can easily withstand long-term repeated scratching and impact on the metal surface of the forks, greatly slowing down the wear process and ensuring the dimensional integrity and functional reliability of the support assembly 3 under long-term use. At the same time, stainless steel also has excellent corrosion resistance. In humid warehouse environments, cold chain logistics, or industrial settings where it may come into contact with chemicals, stainless steel parts will not rust or corrode like ordinary steel. It can also resist the erosion of various chemicals, maintaining durable structural strength and aesthetic appearance, and extending the maintenance cycle and replacement interval of the parts.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 The bottom surface of the pallet body 1 is inlaid with anti-slip blocks, and the surface of the pallet body 1 has several through holes. The anti-slip blocks effectively increase the friction between the pallet and the ground, preventing the pallet from accidentally sliding when subjected to slight external forces or vehicle vibrations, avoiding the risk of goods tipping over, and facilitating precise picking by forklifts. At the same time, the several through holes formed on the surface of the pallet body 1 have the following advantages: First, they significantly reduce the weight of the pallet, thereby reducing transportation energy consumption and facilitating manual assisted movement; second, they facilitate drainage and cleaning, especially in industries with high hygiene requirements that require rinsing, preventing the accumulation of liquids and dirt.

[0030] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The slot 2 on the pallet body 1 is the insertion channel of the forklift forks. In order to strengthen this key force-bearing part, a support component 3 is set inside the upper part of the slot 2. A card plate 302 with an I-shaped cross section is fixed by a pair of "L"-shaped limiting strips 301 integrally injection molded with the pallet body 1. During installation, after the card plate 302 is inserted into the limiting strips 301, the limiting strips 301 are tightened by screws screwed into the positioning holes 305, thereby firmly fixing the position of the card plate 302.

[0031] As another embodiment of the present invention: in order to disperse the vertical pressure and impact applied by the forks, the support assembly 3 also includes a mounting plate 306 integrally injection molded with the pallet body 1, and a reinforcing plate 307 with a "C" shaped cross section is detachably installed on the inner side of the mounting plate 306 by bolts and mounting holes 309, which is consistent with the structural reinforcement effect of the first embodiment. The limiting side plate 303 at the bottom of the pallet 302 forms a first limiting groove 304, which works together with the second limiting groove 308 on the inner side of the reinforcing plate 307 to form a channel for guiding and restricting the forks, thereby further improving the stability of the insertion process.

[0032] When the forklift forks are inserted, the frosted surfaces of the pallet 302 and the reinforcing plate 307 also increase the friction. When the pallet 302 or the reinforcing plate 307 wears out due to long-term use, it can be easily disassembled and replaced, thereby greatly extending the service life of the entire pallet with extremely low maintenance costs.

[0033] In this embodiment, both the limiting side plate 303 and the mounting plate 306 can be integrally injection molded with the pallet body 1. The injection mold is mainly composed of six molds: upper, lower, left, right, fixed mold, and moving mold, which can perform detailed injection molding operations on the pallet body 1.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
