Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pallet connection technology, and in particular to a parallel pallet connection device. Background Technology
[0002] In the fields of logistics, warehousing management, and production turnover, pallets serve as the core tool for carrying and transferring goods. Their flexibility and operational efficiency directly affect the flow speed of the entire supply chain. As the logistics industry's demand for maximizing space utilization upgrades, traditional pallets with a single size and single function are no longer suitable for diverse scenarios. Common pallets are of fixed size, and for some goods that exceed the pallet size, multiple pallets need to be spliced together. Currently, the usual splicing method is to set dovetail grooves on the side walls of the pallets. However, this splicing method requires picking up one pallet and inserting it from the top of the dovetail groove of another pallet. If both pallets have goods on them, splicing cannot be performed. Furthermore, if the pallet size is large, it is not easy for a single person to align the dovetail groove, affecting the splicing efficiency.
[0003] Based on the above situation, it is necessary to design a parallel tray connection device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides a parallel tray connecting device to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: A parallel pallet connecting device includes a receiving cavity formed on a pallet body. A sliding groove is formed on the inner wall of one side of the receiving cavity. A connecting seat is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. A connecting member is rotatably connected to the upper end of the connecting seat via a rotating rod. One end of the connecting member is provided with a locking member that can be locked inside the receiving cavity. When two adjacent pallet bodies are spliced together, the connecting member is rotated to move into the receiving cavity of the adjacent pallet body, and the connection between the two adjacent pallet bodies is achieved by locking it with the locking member.
[0006] Preferably, the connector includes a first connecting part rotatably connected to the rotating rod and a second connecting part parallel to and opposite to the first connecting part, and a third connecting part is connected between the first connecting part and the second connecting part, the width of the third connecting part being equal to the minimum gap between two adjacent tray bodies.
[0007] Preferably, the locking element is an elastic protrusion provided on both sides of the second connecting part, the inner wall of the receiving cavity is provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the elastic protrusion, and the second connecting part is provided with a through groove.
[0008] Preferably, the first connecting part is provided with reinforcing ribs, and the inner wall of the mounting cavity is provided with a slide rail for the reinforcing ribs to slide.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the reinforcing rib is provided with an inlet portion whose width gradually increases from bottom to top, and the port of the slide rail is provided with a corresponding flared portion.
[0010] Preferably, the side wall of the tray body is provided with a mating protrusion and a mating groove into which the mating protrusion can be inserted.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by rotating the connector, the connector can be inserted into the receiving cavity of the adjacent pallet body, and the connector is fixed in the receiving cavity by the locking member, so as to realize the connection between the two adjacent pallet bodies. The connection and fixing work can be completed without moving the pallet body, which is more convenient and faster. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0015] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.
[0016] Reference Figures 1-4As shown, a parallel pallet connecting device includes a receiving cavity 2 formed on a pallet body 1. A sliding groove 21 is formed on the inner wall of one side of the receiving cavity 2. A connecting seat 3 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 21. A connecting member 4 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the connecting seat 3 via a rotating rod 31. A locking member is provided at one end of the connecting member 4 to lock the connecting member 4 in the receiving cavity 2. When two adjacent pallet bodies 1 are connected and spliced, the connecting member 4 is pulled upward to drive the connecting seat 3 to move upward synchronously. After the connecting member 4 is completely exposed from the receiving cavity 2, the connecting member 4 is rotated so that the other end of the connecting member 4 is located at the upper end of the receiving cavity 2 of the other pallet body 1. Then the connecting member 4 is slid downward so that the other end of the connecting member 4 enters the receiving cavity 2 of the adjacent pallet body 1 and is locked in the receiving cavity 2 by the locking member, thereby realizing the connection between two adjacent pallet bodies 1.
[0017] Specifically, the connector 4 includes a first connecting part 41 rotatably connected to the rotating rod 31 and a second connecting part 42 parallel to and opposite to the first connecting part 41. The first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 42 are connected by a third connecting part 43. The connector 4 can be in the shape of an inverted "U". The width of the third connecting part 43 is equal to the minimum gap between the two adjacent tray bodies 1 and the receiving cavities 2. After the connector 4 rotates 180°, it can be located exactly at the top of the receiving cavity 2 of another adjacent tray body 1. This allows for accurate insertion into the adjacent tray bodies 1 to connect them. To improve the connection stability when the connector 4 splices the two tray bodies 1, the third connecting part 43 can be made of metal. The first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 42 can also be made of metal or reinforced polypropylene. When the two tray bodies 1 move away from each other, the increase in the distance between the first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 42 is reduced, thus ensuring the stability of the tray bodies 1 when spliced.
[0018] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, the locking element is an elastic protrusion 5 on both sides of the second connecting part 42. The inner wall of the receiving cavity 2 is connected between them and has a positioning groove 51 corresponding to the elastic protrusion 5. When the connector 4 is inserted into the receiving cavity 2, the elastic protrusion 5 enters the positioning groove 51 to fix the connector 4. A through groove 44 is provided on the second connecting part 42. When it is necessary to remove the connector 4, both sides of the second connecting part 42 can be pressed manually. Due to the setting of the through groove 44, the positions of the elastic protrusion 5 near the bottom of the second connecting part 42 can move relative to each other, so that the elastic protrusion 5 moves out of the positioning groove 51, which facilitates the removal of the connector 4.
[0019] When connection is not required via connector 4, connector 4 can be stored in the same housing cavity 2 as the connector 3 connected to connector 4, and elastic protrusion 5 can be inserted into positioning slot 51 to fix connector 4. When stored in housing cavity 2, the upper end of connector 4 is flush with the upper end of pallet body 1, which can avoid affecting the placement of goods on pallet body 1.
[0020] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, furthermore, a reinforcing rib 6 is provided on the first connecting part 41, and a slide rail 61 is provided on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 2 to allow the reinforcing rib 6 to slide. The reinforcing rib 6 can be integrally formed and connected with the first connecting part 41, and reinforcing ribs 6 can be provided on both sides of the first connecting part 41. When the connecting part 4 is stored in the receiving cavity 2, it is slidably connected to the slide rail 61 through the reinforcing rib 6 on one side. When the connecting part 4 is inserted into the receiving cavity 2 on the adjacent pallet body 1, it slides into the slide rail 61 through the reinforcing rib 6 on the other side of the first connecting part 41. Through the sliding cooperation between the reinforcing rib 6 and the slide rail 61, the random displacement of the connecting part 4 in the receiving cavity 2 can be avoided. When the two pallet bodies 1 after splicing are subjected to mutual misalignment forces, such as one force moving forward and the other moving backward, the sliding rail 61 clamps the reinforcing rib 6 to reduce the displacement between the two.
[0021] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the reinforcing rib 6 entering the slide rail 61, an inlet portion 62 with a width that gradually increases from bottom to top is provided at the bottom of the reinforcing rib 6, and a corresponding flared portion (not shown in the figure) is provided at the port connecting to the slide rail 61. The width of the flared portion gradually decreases from top to bottom. In this way, the reinforcing rib 6 can easily slide into the interior of the slide rail 61 when the connecting piece 4 moves downward.
[0022] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, furthermore, in order to facilitate the insertion of the connector 4 into the receiving cavity 2 on the adjacent pallet body 1, a mating protrusion 7 and a mating groove 71 for the mating protrusion 7 to be inserted are provided on the side wall of the pallet body 1. When two adjacent pallet bodies 1 are spliced together, the mating protrusion 7 on the pallet body 1 is matched with the mating groove 71 on the other pallet body 1 to achieve the initial splicing between the two adjacent pallet bodies 1. When splicing and connecting through the connector 4, it can be accurately inserted into the receiving groove on the other pallet body 1 for connection.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
