[0005] However, with the above-mentioned conventional pallets, for example, when a worker assembles a pallet, in order to connect and fix two adjacent pallet components together, the worker must rotate the bolts in the tightening direction and install the snap rings into the grooves and insertion holes, making the assembly work complicated and time-consuming, and placing a heavy burden on the worker.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0011] In Figs. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes an assembly-type pallet that can be disassembled and assembled, and this pallet 1 is a resin pallet (assembly-type pallet) for a forklift made of, for example, synthetic resin (polypropylene, etc.).

[0012] In other words, pallet 1 is a loading platform for transporting cargo using a forklift, and is assembled using a specified assembly method into a rectangular shape (a square shape with each side having the same length, for example, 1100 mm or 1300 mm) and used by placing cargo on pallet 1 in its assembled state.

[0013] The pallet 1 is formed by connecting and fixing a plurality of substantially rectangular pallet components (divided pallet components) 2, for example, four pallet components 2, aligned lengthwise and widthwise (in a matrix of two rows and two columns) in a plan view. Each pallet component 2 is formed with a fork insertion opening 5 through which the forks of a forklift are inserted.

[0014] More specifically, the pallet 1 comprises a plurality of pallet components 2, for example four (four pieces), each having a fork insertion opening 5, and a plurality of fixing bodies 3, for example twelve fixing bodies 3, for connecting and fixing two adjacent pallet components 2 (one and the other pallet components adjacent to each other when assembled) 2 of these four pallet components 2 in the vertical and horizontal directions when assembled.

[0015] All four pallet constituent bodies 2 that make up one pallet 1 are made of the same synthetic resin (common part). In addition, all twelve resin fixing bodies 3 that connect and fix adjacent pallet constituent bodies 2 together are also made of the same synthetic resin (common part). Each of these synthetic resin parts is a part that is integrally formed by injection molding or the like using a mold.

[0016] As shown in Figs. 3 to 5, the pallet component 2 has a plurality of, for example, four, fitting projections 11 that are generally cylindrical and open upward and protrude downward.

[0017] When the separated pallet constituent bodies 2 are stacked one on top of the other, the mating protrusions 11 of the upper pallet constituent body 2 and the mating protrusions 11 of the lower pallet constituent body 2 are removably fitted into each other. In other words, the multiple pallet constituent bodies 2 are configured to be stackable in multiple levels in the vertical direction, and when the pallet 1 is in a disassembled state, these multiple pallet constituent bodies 2 can be loaded onto a vehicle (truck, passenger car, etc.) with a planar area that is one-fourth of the original size.

[0018] The fitting protrusion 11 is formed, for example, in an inverted truncated quadrangular pyramid shape with upper and lower openings 12 and 13, and has four side plates 14. The fitting protrusions 11 do not necessarily have to have the exact same shape, and may have approximately the same shape.

[0019] In addition, the pallet component 2 has an upper overlapping portion 16, which is one of the overlapping portions forming a longitudinal shape, on one side (the right side in Figure 5), and a lower overlapping portion 17, which is the other overlapping portion forming a longitudinal shape, on the other side (the top side in Figure 5) perpendicular to the one side.

[0020] When adjacent pallet constituent bodies 2 are connected and fixed together vertically and horizontally (horizontally) using multiple fixing bodies 3 (when assembling a pallet 1), the upper overlapping portion 16 of one pallet constituent body 2 and the lower overlapping portion 17 of another pallet constituent body 2 adjacent to that one pallet constituent body 2 overlap each other vertically. In other words, the fixing bodies 3 are detachably attached to multiple locations in the overlapping upper overlapping portions 16 and lower overlapping portions 17. When the pallet 1 is in an assembled state, the four upper overlapping portions 16 are positioned in the shape of a cross in a plan view (see Figure 1).

[0021] The upper overlapping portion 16 has a plurality of cylindrical, bottomed tubular portions 21 that open upward, i.e., three tubular portions 21. These three tubular portions 21 are formed at three locations on the longitudinal upper overlapping portion 16: both longitudinal ends and the longitudinal center. Each tubular portion 21 has a disk-shaped bottom plate 22 and a cylindrical peripheral wall 23 that stands on the peripheral end of the bottom plate 22.

[0022] In the bottom plate 22, an elongated slot 24 is formed along the longitudinal direction of the upper overlapping portion 16, penetrating the top and bottom surfaces of the bottom plate 22. The slot 24 has a circular hole 26 through which the central shaft 51 of the fixed body 3 can be inserted (fitted), and two rectangular holes 27 that communicate with both sides of the circular hole 26 and through which the lower clamping portion 57 of the fixed body 3 can pass.

[0023] In addition, on the upper surface of the bottom plate 22, a plurality of arc-shaped rotation restriction protrusions 31, i.e., two rotation restriction parts, are provided to protrude upward so as to face and separate from the lower part of the inner surface of the peripheral wall 23, and these rotation restriction protrusions 31 restrict excessive rotation of the fixed body 3 when an operator manually rotates the fixed body 3 around the vertical rotation center axis X (see Figure 6).

[0024] The rotation restricting protrusion 31 is formed in an arc shape centered on the rotation central axis (rotation center) X of the fixed body 3. That is, the rotation restricting protrusion 31 is, for example, a protruding strip for restricting rotation, and is formed in a predetermined arc shape centered on the rotation central axis (rotation center) X of the fixed body 3 in a plan view. The two paired rotation restricting protrusions 31 are disposed in symmetrical positions centered on the rotation central axis X in a plan view (see FIG. 8).

[0025] The lower overlapping portion 17 has a plurality of cylindrical, bottomed tubular portions 41 that open upward, i.e., three tubular portions 41. These three tubular portions 41 are formed at three locations on the longitudinal ends and the longitudinal center of the elongated lower overlapping portion 17. Each tubular portion 41 has a disk-shaped bottom plate 42 and a cylindrical peripheral wall 43 that stands on the peripheral end of the bottom plate 42.

[0026] In the bottom plate 42, an elongated slot 44 is formed along the longitudinal direction of the lower overlapping portion 17, penetrating the top and bottom surfaces of the bottom plate 42. The slot 44 has a circular hole 46 through which the central shaft 51 of the fixed body 3 can be inserted (fitted), and two rectangular holes 47 that communicate with both sides of the circular hole 46 and through which the lower clamping portion 57 of the fixed body 3 can pass.

[0027] In addition, the upper surface of the bottom plate 42 has a plurality of support protrusions 50 protruding upward, which are support parts that support the underside of the bottom plate 22 of the cylindrical portion 21 of the upper overlapping portion 16 when the worker stacks the two overlapping portions 16, 17 one above the other when assembling the pallet 1.

[0028] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the fixing body 3 is a fixing operating member (locking component) that can be rotated around a vertical rotation center axis X by the fingertips of an operator without using any tools (tool-less).

[0029] As shown in Figures 7(a) to (c), the fixed body 3 has a cylindrical central shaft portion (rotation shaft portion) 51 through whose axis the vertical rotation central axis line X passes, and at the upper end of this central shaft portion 51 is provided a long, rectangular parallelepiped grip portion 52 that can be gripped by the operator with the fingertips.

[0030] A plurality of ridges 53 (53a, 53b) are formed on the surface of the knob 52. The vertical ridges 53 (53a) formed on both sides of the knob 52 are protruding portions for preventing the operator's fingertips from slipping when operating the fixed body 3 with their fingertips. On the other hand, the horizontal ridges 53 (53b) formed on the top surface of the knob 52 are protruding portions for preventing cargo placed on the pallet 1 from shifting back and forth or left and right in the first state (locked state).

[0031] In addition, an upper clamping portion 56, which is one of two (multiple) plate-shaped clamping portions that make up a pair, protrudes from the upper outer surface of the central shaft portion 51, and a lower clamping portion 57, which is the other of two (multiple) rectangular parallelepiped clamping portions that make up a pair, protrudes from the lower outer surface of the central shaft portion 51.

[0032] The upper clamping portion 56 has, for example, two fan-shaped fan plates 58, one arc-shaped arc plate 59 protruding downward from the arc ends of both fan plates 58 to connect both fan plates 58, and two straight linear plates 60 protruding downward from the straight ends of both fan plates 58.

[0033] Similar to the rotation restricting protrusion 31, the arc plate 59 is formed in an arc shape centered on the rotation central axis (rotation center) X of the fixed body 3. The length of the rotation restricting protrusion 31 in the arc direction is shorter than the length of the arc plate 59 in the arc direction, for example, less than half.

[0034] In addition, the arc-shaped arc plate 59 has an arc-shaped contact surface 61 on its inner surface that comes into planar contact with the outer surface of the arc-shaped rotation restriction portion 31 that is positioned concentrically with the arc plate 59 (see Figure 10(c)).

[0035] Here, Figure 8(a) is a diagram of the fixed body 3 in an unlocked state (the left figure is a plan view, and the right figure is a cross-sectional view), and Figure 8(b) is a diagram of the fixed body 3 in a locked state (the left figure is a plan view, and the right figure is a cross-sectional view).

[0036] Then, when the fixed body 3 in the unlocked state is inserted into the cylindrical portion 21 of the upper overlapping portion 16 as shown in Figure 8(a) (the central axis portion 51 is rotatably inserted into both circular holes 26, 46), if an operator uses his / her fingertips to rotate the fixed body 3 in one direction, that is, the locking direction (clockwise direction, that is, the direction of the arrow in the figure), by a predetermined angle, for example, 90 degrees, around the rotation central axis X, thereby switching the fixed body 3 to the first state, that is, the locked state, then, as shown in Figure 8(b), the fixed body 3 connects and fixes both adjacent pallet components 2 to each other.

[0037] In other words, when the fixed body 3 is in the locked state shown in Figure 8(b), the upper clamping portion 56 and the lower clamping portion 57 of the fixed body 3 clamp and fix the cylindrical portions 21, 41 of the overlapping portions 16, 17, which are predetermined portions of both pallet components 2 (see Figure 10(b)).

[0038] On the other hand, when the fixed body 3 in the locked state is inserted into the cylindrical portion 21 of the upper overlapping portion 16 as shown in Figure 8(b) (the central axis portion 51 is rotatably inserted into both circular holes 26, 46), if the operator uses his / her fingertips to rotate the fixed body 3 about the rotation central axis X in the unlocking direction (counterclockwise direction, which is the direction of the arrow in the figure) which is the opposite direction to the one direction, by a predetermined angle, for example 90 degrees, thereby switching the fixed body 3 to the second state, the unlocked state, the connection and fixation of the two pallet components 2 by the fixed body 3 will be released as shown in Figure 8(a).

[0039] In other words, when the fixed body 3 is in the unlocked state shown in Figure 8(a), the lower clamping portion 57 is positioned below the long hole portions 24, 44 of the bottom plates 22, 42, and the clamping and fixing of the cylindrical portions 21, 41 of the overlapping portions 16, 17, which are predetermined portions of both pallet components 2, by the upper clamping portion 56 and the lower clamping portion 57 of the fixed body 3, is released (unlocked).

[0040] In this way, the worker can selectively switch the fixed body 3 between a locked state and an unlocked state simply by rotating the fixed body 3 90 degrees (horizontally), making it easy to lock and unlock two adjacent pallet components 2 together.

[0041] Furthermore, as described above, when an operator manually rotates the fixed body 3 without tools to selectively switch between a locked state and an unlocked state, the rotating fixed body 3 abuts (comes into contact with) the rotation restricting protrusion 31 of the pallet component 2 and is restricted from rotating, so it will not rotate beyond the specified angle of 90 degrees.

[0042] The worker can intuitively recognize the state (locked state, unlocked state) of the fixed body 3 by the contact between the fixed body 3 and the rotation restricting protrusion (stopper) 31. In addition to the stopper function, the rotation restricting protrusion 31 also has a guide function that guides the arc plate 59 when the fixed body 3 is rotated by manual operation by the worker.

[0043] Here, the rotation restricting protrusion 31 on the bottom plate 22 of the cylindrical portion 21 of the upper overlapping portion 16 of the pallet component 2 has a one-way rotation restricting portion 32 that restricts rotation of the fixed body 3 in one direction, the locking direction, thereby positioning the fixed body 3 in a locked state, and an other-way rotation restricting portion 33 that restricts rotation of the fixed body 3 in the other direction, the unlocking direction, thereby positioning the fixed body 3 in an unlocked state.

[0044] The one-way rotation restricting portion 32 is formed by one end portion in the arc direction of the rotation restricting protrusion 31. The one-way rotation restricting portion (one abutting portion) 32 formed by this one end portion abuts against one abutting receiving portion 36 of the straight plate (standing wall) 60 of the upper clamping portion 56, thereby restricting further rotation in the locking direction of the fixed body 3 that is in the locked state shown in Figure 8(b). The one abutting receiving portion 36 is located at the corner where the outer end portion of the straight plate 60 and one end portion in the arc direction of the arc plate 59 are joined.

[0045] The other-direction rotation restricting portion 33 is formed by the other end portion in the arc direction of the rotation restricting protrusion 31. The other-direction rotation restricting portion (other abutting portion) 33 formed by this other end portion abuts against the other abutting receiving portion 37 of the straight plate (standing wall) 60 of the upper clamping portion 56, thereby restricting further rotation in the unlocking direction of the fixed body 3 which is in the unlocked state shown in Figure 8(a). The other abutting receiving portion 37 is located at the corner where the outer end portion of the straight plate 60 and the other end portion in the arc direction of the arc plate 59 are joined.

[0046] Next, a method for assembling the pallet 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0047] When assembling the pallet 1, the worker first places the four pallet components 2 on the support surface and assembles them into a square shape so that the upper overlapping portions 16 and the lower overlapping portions 17 are stacked vertically, as shown in Figures 9(a) and (b).

[0048] Next, as shown in Figures 9(c) and (d), the worker inserts the fixing body 3 from above into the cylindrical portion 21 of the upper overlapping portion 16 of the pallet component 2 so that the lower clamping portion 57 passes through the rectangular hole 47 of the bottom plates 22, 42 and sets it in place.

[0049] At this time, the upper clamping portion 56 is in sliding contact with the upper surface of the bottom plate 22, and the central shaft portion 51 is rotatably inserted and held in the circular holes 26, 46 of the bottom plates 22, 42, so that the fixed body 3 is rotatable about the central shaft portion (rotation central axis X) 51 in the up-down direction relative to both overlapping portions 16, 17. In this state, the rotation restricting protrusion 31 on the bottom plate 22 is located within the upper clamping portion 56 of the fixed body 3.

[0050] Next, the operator pinches the knob 52 with his / her fingertips and rotates the fixed body 3 by 90 degrees in the locking direction around the rotation center axis X until the one-way rotation restricting portion 32 and the one abutment receiving portion 36 come into contact with each other.

[0051] Then, the fixed body 3 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state by the 90 degree rotation, and the adjacent pallet constituent bodies 2 are connected and fixed to each other by the fixed body 3 in this locked state.

[0052] In this way, the assembly work of the pallet 1 is completed by connecting and fixing the four pallet constituent bodies 2 using the twelve fixing bodies 3. To disassemble the pallet 1, the fixing bodies 3 are rotated 90 degrees to return them to the unlocked state, thereby releasing the connection and fixing by the fixing bodies 3, and then the unlocked fixing bodies 3 are removed from inside the cylindrical portion 21, and the pallet constituent bodies 2 are separated.

[0053] When transporting a load using the assembled pallet 1, the load is placed on the pallet structure 2 that constitutes the pallet 1, and then the forks of a forklift are inserted into the fork insertion opening 5, and the load is transported together with the pallet 1.

[0054] Here, the rotation restricting protrusion 31 of the pallet constituent body 2 has a stopper function and a guide function, as well as a deflection suppressing function for suppressing deflection of the pallet 1 when the assembled pallet 1 is used.

[0055] That is, for example, as shown in Figure 10(a), when cargo is placed on the pallet 1 and transported so that external force F acts only on both ends of the assembled pallet 1, the connecting portions (seams) of the two adjacent pallet components 2 tend to open, causing the deflection of the pallet 1 to increase.

[0056] 10(b) and 10(c), if the assembled pallet 1 bends, the outer peripheral surface (outer surface) of the upwardly protruding, arc-shaped rotation restricting protrusion 31 comes into planar contact with the inner peripheral contact surface 61 of the arc plate 59 of the fixed body 3, thereby suppressing the bending of the pallet 1. This makes it possible to prevent problems such as cargo collapse and ensure stable transport of cargo.

[0057] Furthermore, according to the above-described pallet 1, when the fixed body 3 is rotated a predetermined angle (for example, 90 degrees) in the locking direction to put it in a locked state, one of the two adjacent pallet components 2 is connected and fixed to the other pallet component 2 by the fixed body 3, and when the fixed body 3 is rotated a predetermined angle (for example, 90 degrees) in the unlocking direction to put it in an unlocked state, the connection and fixation of the two pallet components 2 by the fixed body 3 is released, so that workers can more easily assemble and disassemble the pallet 1 than in the conventional case, thereby reducing the burden on the workers.

[0058] Furthermore, the pallet component 2 has an arc-shaped rotation restricting protrusion 31 centered on the rotation central axis X of the fixed body 3, and this rotation restricting protrusion 31 has a one-way rotation restricting portion 32 that restricts the rotation of the fixed body 3 in the locking direction and positions the fixed body 3 in a locked state, and a other-way rotation restricting portion 33 that restricts the rotation of the fixed body 3 in the unlocking direction and positions the fixed body 3 in an unlocked state.Therefore, the rotation of the fixed body 3 can be appropriately restricted by the rotation restricting protrusion 31, and therefore the worker can easily position the fixed body 3 in a locked state or an unlocked state and can intuitively recognize the state (locked state, unlocked state) of the fixed body 3.

[0059] Furthermore, the fixed body 3 has an arc-shaped arc plate 59 centered on the rotation center axis X of the fixed body 3, and this arc plate 59 has a contact surface 61 that comes into contact with the rotation restriction protrusion 31 when the assembled pallet 1 bends.Therefore, the contact between the rotation restriction protrusion 31 and the contact surface 61 of the arc plate 59 can appropriately suppress bending of the assembled pallet 1, and therefore, cargo can be transported stably when the pallet 1 is in use.

[0060] Furthermore, the pallet constituent body 2 has a downwardly protruding mating protrusion 11 that opens upward, and when multiple pallet constituent bodies 2 are stacked one on top of the other, the mating protrusion 11 of the upper pallet constituent body 2 and the mating protrusion 11 of the lower pallet constituent body 2 fit together, allowing multiple pallet constituent bodies 2 to be stably stacked when the pallet 1 is not in use, and also contributing to improved transport efficiency and reduced transport burden by saving space. Note that it is also possible to stack at least two or more pallet constituent bodies 2 by connecting and fixing them together. For example, a pallet 1 in which four pallet constituent bodies 2 are connected and fixed together so that they are aligned vertically and horizontally in a plan view can also be stacked one on top of the other.

[0061] In the above embodiment, a pallet is formed by connecting and fixing four pallet components so that they are aligned vertically and horizontally when viewed in a plane, but the number of pallet components may be two or more, for example, two or three, or may be five or more.

[0062] Furthermore, although the fixed body (connecting pin, etc.) has been described as being configured to enter a first state by rotating 90 degrees in one direction and enter a second state by rotating 90 degrees in the other direction, the rotation angle may be other than 90 degrees, for example, 45 degrees or 60 degrees.

[0063] Furthermore, it is preferable that the plurality of pallet constituent bodies are all made of the same common parts, but they do not necessarily have to be the same and may be made of different parts (the same applies to the fixed bodies).

[0064] Furthermore, the pallet structure and the fixed body are preferably made of a relatively lightweight resin material that has sufficient strength, but may be made of other materials. [Explanation of symbols]
