Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal trays, specifically a metal tray for protecting the ground. Background Technology

[0002] Metal pallet racks are storage equipment composed of metal components such as columns and beams. They require forklift operation and are suitable for storing palletized goods, enabling first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory management. Their main features include a stable structure, high load-bearing capacity, high space utilization, and adjustable shelf height. Metal pallet racks are typically made of high-quality steel with rust-proof and corrosion-resistant treatment, offering advantages such as durability, moisture resistance, and easy recyclability. They are widely used in manufacturing, logistics warehousing, and cold chain industries, serving as a fundamental and efficient storage solution in modern warehousing systems.

[0003] Current metal pallets require a large amount of material to be placed on them and stacked to increase the storage capacity per unit area. However, a problem exists in actual operation: heavy materials applied to the feet of the pallet cause significant pressure between the feet and the ground, resulting in damage to the ground. Therefore, the inventor urgently needs to design a metal pallet with a protective mechanism to improve the protection of the ground. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a metal support for protecting the ground, so as to solve the technical problem that the concentrated stress generated by heavy materials on the tray feet can easily lead to damage to the ground.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a metal tray for protecting the ground, comprising a tray frame, the tray frame comprising a tray body, upright sleeves welded at the four corners of the tray body, foot cups welded below the upright sleeves, a skirt fixedly provided on the outer side of the foot cups, and a protective mechanism sleeved on the outer side of the skirt. The protective mechanism includes a protective sleeve, the inner side of which has a slot, and the protective sleeve is engaged with the skirt through the slot. The pallet body is provided with two sets of redundant support mechanisms to increase the force support points.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, after the pallet frame achieves basic support through the upright sleeve and the foot cup, a protective mechanism is set on the skirt on the outside of the foot cup. This mechanism can effectively wrap the bottom of the foot cup. When the pallet carries heavy objects, it absorbs and disperses the impact force of the foot cup on the ground, avoiding hard contact.

[0007] Furthermore, the protective sleeve has a "J" shaped cross-section and is made of soft polyurethane.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the groove formed on its inner side can be tightly combined with the skirt in a covering manner, ensuring that it is not easy to fall off when subjected to lateral force or vibration, and the installation stability is extremely high.

[0009] Furthermore, the support mechanism includes a snap-fit ​​component, which is welded to a crossbeam on the pallet body.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the snap-fit ​​component is welded to the crossbeam of the pallet body, ensuring the firmness and reliability of the support mechanism installation.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner sides of the two sets of snap-fit ​​components are snapped with snap-fit ​​plates, and the cross-section of the snap-fit ​​components is an "L" shaped structure.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, not only is sufficient structural strength provided to withstand the pressure transmitted from the card plate, but more importantly, a card slot is formed that is easy to install and position. The two sets of card connectors work together to make the installation and removal of the card plate very simple and quick, and can be completed without any additional tools.

[0013] Furthermore, a support block is fixedly installed below the card plate, and the support block abuts against the ground.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a support block that directly contacts the ground is fixedly installed under the card plate, which concretizes the load-bearing function of the support mechanism. As an independent component that is separate from the foot cup, the support block can be specially designed according to mechanical requirements, thereby most effectively expanding the grounding area and dispersing the pressure.

[0015] Furthermore, the support block is made of rigid engineering plastic.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, specifying the support block as a rigid engineering plastic, such as nylon or POM, has multiple benefits. Rigid engineering plastics have sufficient strength and rigidity to support heavy objects and will not creep due to long-term pressure.

[0017] Furthermore, an extension rod is inserted into the inner side of the column sleeve, and a support beam is installed between adjacent extension rods.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, inserting extension rods into the inner side of the column sleeve and installing support beams between adjacent extension rods, the pallet can be easily converted into a multi-layer storage rack or workbench. This greatly expands the application scenarios of the product. When users need to stack goods but are worried about the weight of the lower goods or need to access the lower goods, this function provides a perfect solution and achieves efficient use of space.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages: 1. This utility model uses a protective mechanism to cover the skirt of the tray foot cup with a soft polyurethane protective sleeve. The protective sleeve is fixed to the skirt by a groove on its inner side. The elasticity of the material is used to buffer the impact and vibration of the foot cup on the ground, directly reducing the peak pressure at the moment of contact. 2. This utility model uses a support mechanism to install support blocks with snap-fit ​​parts and snap-fit ​​plates, thereby adding new force-bearing fulcrums in addition to the original four foot cups. This significantly increases the total contact area between the pallet and the ground, distributes the load over a wider area, and fundamentally reduces the average pressure on the ground.

[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] In this embodiment: A metal support for protecting the ground, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a pallet frame 1, which includes a pallet body 101. Column sleeves 102 are welded to the four corners of the pallet body 101. Foot cups 103 are welded to the bottom of the column sleeves 102. Skirts 104 are fixedly installed on the outside of the foot cups 103. A protective mechanism 2 is fitted on the outside of the skirts 104. The protective mechanism 2 includes a protective sleeve 201, and a groove 202 is formed on the inner side of the protective sleeve 201. The protective sleeve 201 is engaged with the skirt 104 through the groove 202. Two sets of support mechanisms 3 are provided below the pallet body 101 to increase the load-bearing fulcrum. After the pallet frame 1 achieves basic support through the column sleeve 102 and the foot cups 103, a protective mechanism 2 is provided on the skirt 104 on the outside of the foot cups 103. This mechanism can effectively wrap the bottom of the foot cups. When the pallet carries heavy objects, it absorbs and disperses the impact force of the foot cups on the ground and avoids hard contact. At the same time, the two sets of support mechanisms 3 set below the pallet body 101 constitute a key redundant support. They do not simply increase the contact area, but create a new load-bearing frame independent of the four foot cups. This fundamentally reduces the pressure of a single fulcrum on the ground, thereby achieving excellent protection for various sensitive ground surfaces and extending the service life of the ground.

[0024] See Figure 5 The protective sleeve 201 has a "J" shaped cross-section and is made of soft polyurethane. The groove 202 formed on its inner side can be tightly bonded to the skirt 104 in a wrapping manner, ensuring that it is not easy to fall off when subjected to lateral force or vibration. The installation is extremely stable. At the same time, using soft polyurethane as the material is a choice that is both functional and economical. Polyurethane material not only has excellent elasticity, wear resistance and tear resistance, but also can effectively buffer the instantaneous impact when the pallet is placed on goods and the continuous vibration during use. Its soft characteristics can also adapt well to slightly uneven ground and ensure uniform force distribution.

[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The support mechanism 3 includes a snap-fit ​​component 301, which is welded to the crossbeam on the pallet body 101. Welding the snap-fit ​​component 301 to the crossbeam of the pallet body 101 ensures the firmness and reliability of the support mechanism installation, enabling it to withstand sufficient weight without displacement or deformation. This is the basis for achieving effective redundant support.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The inner sides of the two sets of snap-fit ​​components 301 are fitted with a pallet 302. The cross-section of the snap-fit ​​component 301 is L-shaped, which not only provides sufficient structural strength to bear the pressure transmitted from the pallet 302, but more importantly, it forms a slot that is easy to install and position. The two sets of snap-fit ​​components 301 work together to make the installation and removal of the pallet 302 very simple and quick, which can be completed without any additional tools. This modular and quick-disassembly setting greatly facilitates transportation, storage and maintenance operations in special circumstances, and improves the overall flexibility of the pallet.

[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 A support block 303 is fixedly installed below the card plate 302. The support block 303 abuts against the ground. The support block 303, which is fixedly installed below the card plate 302 and directly abuts against the ground, concretizes the load-bearing function of the support mechanism 3. As an independent component that is separate from the foot cup, the support block 303 can be specially designed according to mechanical requirements, so as to most effectively expand the grounding area and disperse the pressure.

[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The support block 303 is made of rigid engineering plastic. Specifying that the support block 303 is made of rigid engineering plastic, such as nylon or POM, has multiple benefits. Rigid engineering plastic has sufficient strength and rigidity to support heavy objects and will not creep due to long-term pressure. Its hardness is higher than that of soft polyurethane but much lower than that of metal, which can avoid scratching the ground and provide a small cushion when in contact with the ground.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 An extension rod 4 is inserted into the inner side of the upright sleeve 102, and a support beam is installed between adjacent extension rods 4. The insertion of extension rods 4 into the inner side of the upright sleeve 102 and the installation of support beams between adjacent extension rods firstly allows the pallet to be easily converted into a multi-layer storage rack or workbench, which greatly expands the application scenarios of the product. When users need to stack goods but are worried about the weight of the lower goods or need to access the lower goods, this function provides a perfect solution and achieves efficient use of space. At the same time, this plug-in design gives the product extremely high flexibility and adaptability. Users can flexibly choose different lengths of extension rods 4 to combine according to the height requirements of the stored items, meeting diverse usage needs.

[0030] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The basic load-bearing structure of the metal pallet is composed of a pallet frame 1. The pallet body 101 is connected to the lower foot cups 103 through the four corner column sleeves 102, transferring the load to the ground. On the outer skirt 104 of each foot cup 103, a protective sleeve 201 made of soft polyurethane is fitted. The protective sleeve is fixed to the skirt through the inner groove 202. When the pallet is under load, the soft material protective sleeve can effectively absorb the impact energy and prevent the foot cups 103 from making hard contact with the ground, playing a preliminary buffering and shock absorption role. In order to further disperse the pressure, two sets of support mechanisms 3 are added below the pallet body 101. The mechanism is fixed to the crossbeam through the snap-fit ​​301. The inner snap-fit ​​plate 302 is equipped with support blocks 303. This adds multiple support blocks 303 in contact with the ground on the basis of the original four foot cups, which significantly increases the ground contact area and reduces the pressure on the ground.

[0031] In some other embodiments: the two sets of support mechanisms 3 have through slots on both sides for forklifts to insert into, which facilitates the movement of forklifts.
