[0012] Furthermore, the eight conical holes on each side wall of the tray body correspond one-to-one with the eight conical cylinders on each side strip and fit together.

[0013] Furthermore, the sliding sleeve is fitted into the square column.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] This invention features a conical hole on the side wall of the pallet body and a conical cylinder on the side wall of the side strip, achieving a stable connection between the pallet body and the side strip and ensuring the firmness of the connecting components. A slider-type latch is provided on the upper surface of the side strip, making the locking and unlocking process effortless. The latch can be easily closed and opened by sliding the slider without using excessive force. The structure is relatively simple, without complex mechanical parts, making it easy to operate and maintain, while also ensuring the pallet's shock resistance and durability, and preventing loosening or falling off.

[0033] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, a latching adjustable tray includes a tray body 1 and side strips 2. The side wall of the tray body 1 is provided with conical holes 3, and the side wall of the side strips 2 is provided with conical cylinders 4. The upper surface of the side strips 2 is provided with slider-type latches 5. Each of the four side walls of the tray body 1 is connected to a side strip 2. Each of the four side walls of the tray body 1 is provided with eight conical holes 3. Each side wall of the side strip 2 is provided with eight conical cylinders 4. The upper surface of each side strip 2 is provided with four slider-type latches 5. The eight conical holes 3 on each side wall of the tray body 1 correspond one-to-one with the eight conical cylinders 4 on each side strip 2 and fit together.

[0036] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the side strip 2 includes a long strip 6 and a short strip 7. The connecting end of the long strip 6 is provided with a sliding sleeve 8, and the connecting end of the short strip 7 is provided with a square column 9. The side walls of the long strip 6 and the short strip 7 are respectively provided with 4 conical cylinders 4, and the upper surfaces of the long strip 6 and the short strip 7 are respectively provided with 2 sliding locks 5.

[0037] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the sliding sleeve 8 and the square column 9 are fitted together. The side strip 2 has a two-section structure. The square column 9 at the connecting end of the short strip 7 is designed to slide into the sliding sleeve 8, and the sliding sleeve 8 at the connecting end of the long strip 6 is designed to fit into the square column 9. The stretching adopts a sliding sleeve structure to form a whole, which can adjust the length and has the advantages of high strength and aesthetics. The overall length of the side strip 2 can be adjusted by stretching or sliding the distance between the long strip 6 and the short strip 7.

[0038] As shown in Figures 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16, the operation procedure is as follows: push the side strip 2 into the tray body 1, then press the side strip 2 down to make the conical hole 3 and the conical cylinder 4 completely fit together, and then use the slider lock 5 to lock the tray body 1 and the side strip 2.

[0039] The working principle of a latching adjustable-size tray based on Embodiment 1 is as follows:

[0040] The present invention uses a conical hole 3 and a conical cylinder 4 to lock the pallet body 1 and the side strip 2 in the horizontal direction, and then uses a slider-type lock 5 to lock the pallet body 1 and the side strip 2 in the vertical direction.

[0041] The locking mechanism of the conical hole 3 and the conical cylinder 4 ensures a stable connection between the pallet body 1 and the side strip 2, guaranteeing the strength of the connecting parts. A slider-type latch 5 is provided on the upper surface of the side strip 2, making the locking and unlocking process less strenuous. The latch can be easily closed and opened by sliding the slider without using too much force. The structure is relatively simple and has no complex mechanical parts. It is not only easy to operate and maintain, but also ensures the shock resistance and durability of the pallet, preventing loosening or falling off.

[0042] The above specific embodiments are merely several preferred embodiments of the present invention. Based on the technical solutions of the present invention and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
