This patent application claims the benefit and priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 2023116479814, entitled “COMPOSITE MULTI-FUNCTIONAL LOAD-BEARING PALLET” filed on Dec. 4, 2023, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety as part of the present application.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of load-bearing pallets, and in particular, to a composite multi-functional load-bearing pallet.
Pallets are horizontal platform devices for containerizing, stacking, handling, and transporting placed cargoes and products serving as unit loads, which are unitized logistics appliances born to cooperate with efficient logistics. It can be said that the pallets are connecting points that run through various links of modern logistics systems. However, in the actual use, the pallets cannot be circulated and used in a logistics operation chain due to different specifications, and are only limited to internal use within enterprises. In addition, the existing pallets usually need to be stacked during storage. Usually, the pallets and the cargoes are limited and fixed in a direct contact stacking manner. There is a problem of separation and misalignment during moving and transporting.
In order to overcome disadvantages in a related technology, people have explored for a long time and proposed various solutions. For example, Chinese patent document 201010175319.X discloses a combined pallet, which consists of of three parts that are pallet laths, connecting pieces, and square pipes. Two sides of the square pipe are vertically connected with the upper and lower pallet laths at a spatial position through the connecting pieces. Clamping buckles that are distributed vertical to each other are arranged on upper and lower surfaces of the connecting piece. Clamping buckle grooves that are matched with the connecting pieces are arranged on upper and lower surfaces of the square pipe. Clamping buckle grooves that are matched with the connecting pieces are arranged on the pallet laths.
The above solution solves the problems of different specifications and poor adaptability to storage and transportation of the existing pallets to a certain extent. However, this solution still has a plurality of disadvantages, for example, problems, such as misalignment, are easily caused during storage, stacking, and transferring.
The embodiments aim to provide a composite multi-functional load-bearing pallet, which solves problems existing in a related technology above, have the advantages of good structural stability, wide adaptability, and the like, and have good extension continuity.

An upper end of the support leg 2 is connected to a funnel-shaped main guide port 21, and a port of the main guide port 21 is flush with the upper end of the pallet main body 1. The main guide port 21 is formed by splicing and welding multiple pieces of trapezoidal plates, and is configured to guide the support legs 2 to be inserted in each other for quickly positioning when the pallet main bodies 1 are stacked. The used main guide port 21 is mainly suitable for the limiting mechanism to realize quick insertion and fixation of various rod bodies.

When regular loads such as box bodies are placed on the pallet main body 1, the support pipes 31 fixed at the corners of the pallet main body 1 can achieve a good limiting effect. When multiple groups of irregular loads are placed on the pallet main body 1, the support rods 33 are inserted and fixed by selecting suitable support holes 32 to limit the degree of freedom of the loads in a horizontal direction. The support pipes 31 may also be combined and stacked with another pallet main body 1 to realize multilayer storage of the loads.
Further, different from limiting the loads by the storage mechanism 3, the limiting mechanism in the present disclose is selected and mounted according to actual requirements to limit the positions between the pallet main bodies 1 and performs corresponding locking and fixing. The limiting mechanism includes a first limiting component 4 for limiting a relative direction of the pallet main bodies 1 that are adjacently stacked up and down; or a second limiting component 5 is arranged between the pallet main bodies 1 that are adjacently arranged left and right for limiting the relative orientation thereof; or the pallet main bodies 1 are stacked up and down through a third limiting component 6 to form a frame structure.

The second limiting component 5 includes limiting cross rods 51 arranged horizontally. The limiting cross rods 51 are usually relatively parallel to short sides of the pallet main body 1. The limiting cross rod 51 has a main base 52 opposite to the support leg 2. An upper end of the main base 52 is inserted and fixed to the support leg 2. The limiting cross rod 51 is positioned below the pallet main body 1. The main base 52 usually directly fits the ground. The support leg 2 is locked and fixed to the main base 52 of the limiting cross rod 51 through a threaded piece or a pin shaft. A corresponding pin hole is formed in a side surface of the lower end of the support leg 2. The main base 52 has a socket for mounting the threaded piece or the pin shaft.
A limiting longitudinal rod 53 that is arranged vertically relative to the limiting cross rods 51 is connected between ends of the limiting cross rods 51. The limiting longitudinal rod 53 is relatively parallel to a long side of the pallet main body 1 and has an auxiliary base 54 for the end of the limiting cross rod 51 to insert. The auxiliary base 54 is inserted and fixed to the end of the other limiting cross rod 51. The limiting cross rod 51 is locked and fixed to the auxiliary base 54 of the limiting longitudinal rod 53 through a threaded piece or a pin shaft. The limiting cross rods 51 are connected one by one through the limiting longitudinal rods 53 and the auxiliary bases 54, so that the pallet main bodies 1 are connected into a long strip shape, which is suitable for storing a load with a large volume.

The third limiting component 6 includes upright rods 61 that are vertically inserted in the support legs 2. The upright rods 61 may also be directly replaced by the support pipes 31 in the storage mechanism 3. A shelf cross rod 62 is connected between top ends of the upright rods 61. The shelf cross rod 62 has a main rod seat 63 for a top end of the upright rod 61 to insert and fix. A shelf longitudinal rod 64 is connected between ends of the shelf cross rods 62. The shelf longitudinal rod 64 has an auxiliary rod seat 65 for the main rod seat 63 to insert and fix. The shelf cross rods 62 and the shelf longitudinal rods 64 are combined into a frame structure, and form a frame body structure with the upright rods 61 positioned below and the pallet main body 1. A shelf base 66 is additionally inserted and fixed to an upper end of the auxiliary rod seat 65. An upper end of the shelf base 66 has a funnel-shaped auxiliary guide port 67 for the support leg 2 of the another pallet main body 1 to insert. Multiple frame body structures are combined through the shelf bases 66, so as to realize three-dimensional storage of cargoes.

The support legs 2, the triangular plates 14, and the main guide ports 21 are all welded and fixed by using thick plates of 4 mm. The load-bearing capacity of the pallet main body 1 will not decrease due to the increase of the size. The adaptability of the pallet main body 1 is improved due to the expansion of bearing area.
In conclusion, the principle of the present embodiment is that: after loads are placed at the upper end of the pallet main body 1, the storage mechanism 3 realizes multi-point limitation in a horizontal direction in a manner of inserting pipes. The limiting component locks and limits when the pallet main bodies 1 are arranged vertically or horizontally, so as to expand the load-bearing capacity of the pallet or reduce the space required for the storage of the pallet. The stability of the pallet main body 1 and the loads thereof during storage and transporting is ensured through the cooperation of the limiting component and the pallet main body 1.
