Description

  The present invention relates to a pallet.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a pallet used when a load is transported by a forklift. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a general conventional pallet.
In the pallet 11, the upper plate 2 and the lower plate 3 are fixed via a support member 4. The load is placed on the upper plate 2 and conveyed by inserting and lifting the claws of the forklift into the space defined by the upper plate 2, the lower plate 3 and the support material 4.
However, the pallet 11 can carry the pallet and the baggage together when the baggage is already placed on the upper plate 2, but the pallet 11 is intended to be placed directly on the pallet by lifting the baggage itself with a forklift claw. As a result, the claw of the forklift is caught between the load and the upper plate 2 and cannot be removed, so that the unloading cannot be performed directly by the forklift alone. In order to cope with this problem, a pallet having a nail insertion hole of a forklift is disclosed (Patent Document 1).

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a pallet having a claw insertion opening.
The pallet 12 has an upper plate 2 on which a load can be placed, and a claw insertion portion 13 for forming a claw of a forklift that moves up and down horizontally from a side surface is formed below the upper plate. Moreover, the partition 14 is provided in the nail insertion part. When the load is placed on the upper plate 2, the claw of the forklift is inserted into the nail insertion portion, so that the load is not pinched between the load and the upper plate 2. Further, when transporting the pallet 12 on which the load is placed, the forklift pawl is inserted under the partition wall 14 or under the upper plate 2 for work.

However, the pallet causes a step on the top surface of the pallet. Although it is good when a large load is placed on the pallet, for example, when a plurality of loads are loaded in combination, there is a problem in that the load on the pallet is unstable and collapses due to a step on the top surface of the pallet. When used in factories, etc., it cannot be used widely. As a pallet for solving this problem, the present inventor has formed a movable member in which one of the nail insertion portions is a pivotally engaged end and the other is a free end. The proposed end has a pallet that has a fulcrum and is pivotally engaged with an inner corner of an inverted L-shaped angle member that is fixed to the upper side of the load carrying plane of the support material ( Patent Document 2).

However, even in the pallet of Patent Document 2, there is a problem that when the forklift is inserted slightly into the claw insertion portion when the forklift is slightly displaced, it becomes difficult to insert the claw.
The present invention has been made to cope with such a problem, and an object thereof is to provide a pallet that can easily load and unload a load using the pallet and has excellent durability.

  The present invention includes an upper plate on which a load can be placed, a plurality of support members that can fix the upper plate and the lower plate and can form a load placement plane on which the load can be placed, and a forklift from the arrangement direction of the support members. In the pallet comprising a claw insertion portion into which the claw can be inserted, the claw insertion portion comprises a movable member, and the movable member can form the same horizontal plane as the upper plate, and is provided on the side surface of the support The forklift pawl can be inserted above and below the movable member.

  In the pallet of the present invention, the claw insertion portion has a movable member, and the movable member can form the same horizontal plane as the upper plate, and the claw of the forklift is movable by engaging with the engaging portion provided on the side surface of the support material. Since it can be inserted above and below the member, it is easy to load and unload loads such as forklift claw insertion and removal, and it has excellent durability.

The pallet of this invention is demonstrated based on figures. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the pallet of the present invention.
The pallet 1 includes an upper plate 2 on which a load can be placed, a lower plate 3 disposed below the upper plate 2 in the drawing, a support member 4 that fixes the upper plate 2 and the lower plate 3 and supports the upper plate 2, and an upper plate 2 The movable member 5 is provided on a claw insertion portion 6 which is a part of the plate 2 and is partitioned by the support material 4.
The movable member 5 is plate-shaped and can be formed in the same horizontal plane as the upper plate so as to form the same horizontal plane as the upper plate. By engaging with the locking portion 7 provided on the side surface of the support material, the claw of the forklift can be It can be inserted above and below the movable member.

  An example in which the horizontal plane of the movable member 5 can move in the vertical direction is shown in FIG. FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional view of the claw insertion portion 6, and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view showing a state when the movable member 5 forms a luggage placement plane.

  The movable member 5 forms a side surface by bending a rectangular plate that can cover the claw insertion portion at both ends in the arrangement direction of the support material at substantially right angles. One end portion of the movable member 5 that is further bent forms a hook-shaped portion 5 a toward the inside of the claw insertion portion 6 and is locked to the movable portion 7 a of the locking portion 7. Further, the other bent end portion forms a hook-shaped portion 5 b on the support material 4 side, and can be locked to the hook-shaped auxiliary member 8 provided in the support material 4.

The locking portion 7 is provided along the side surface of the support member 4 in the arrangement direction, and both ends of the elongated rod-like movable portion 7a are locked in the groove of the groove portion 7b.
The hook-like portion 5a of the movable member 5 is locked to the movable portion 7a, for example, in a gripping manner, and the movable member 5 and the movable portion 7a of the movable member 5 move up and down together.

The movable member 5 stops when the hook-shaped portion 5b at the end of the movable member 5 abuts against the auxiliary member 8, and always forms the same horizontal plane as the upper plate (FIG. 2 (b)).
On the other hand, in the movable member 5, normally, the movable portion 7a moves downward along the groove portion 7b, and accordingly, the movable member 5 also moves downward (FIG. 2A). The movable part 7a stops at the lowermost part of the groove part 7b.

Since two forks are usually inserted into one pallet, a pair of claw insertion portions 6 and a movable member 5 are also provided.
The distance between the pair of left and right movable members 5 may be the width of the forklift claws. It is only necessary that the pair of left and right movable members 5 be attached so that a space for extracting the claws of the forklift is formed when the load is placed on the upper plate 2.

  The pallet 1 according to the present invention is provided with a lower plate 3 for fixing an upper plate 2 and a movable member 5 attached to the upper plate via a support member 4, a locking portion 7 or an auxiliary member 8. Is preferred. However, if the whole pallet 1 can be fixed integrally, the lower plate 3 can be omitted. For example, the pallet 1 as a whole can be integrated by a method such as fixing the support members 4 on the back surface shown in FIG. 1 or connecting the lower portions of the support members 4 with a pipe-like member.

  The material of the pallet 1 can be wood, plastics, metal, or a combination thereof. The movable member 5 is preferably made of a material excellent in strength and durability that can withstand the vertical movement of the forklift claw, for example, plywood or iron plate.

Conveyance of the load using the pallet 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3A to FIG. 3D are cross-sectional views showing the usage state of the pallet 1.
When transporting luggage 10 from a factory or warehouse, it is necessary to first place the luggage 10 supported by the forklift claws 9 on the pallet 1. Therefore, the forklift is operated such that the forklift pawl 9 is positioned directly above the pawl insertion portion 6 (FIG. 3A).

  When the load 10 is placed on the pallet 1 while being supported by the forklift claws 9, the movable member 5 has a gap more than the thickness of the claws 9. For this reason, the load 10 can be placed on the pallet 1 without the claw 9 being sandwiched between the upper plate 2 and the load 10 (FIG. 3B).

  If the claw 9 of the forklift is further moved downward while the luggage 10 is placed on the pallet 1, the claw 9 is separated from the luggage 10, and the claw 9 can be easily pulled out from the pallet 1 on which the luggage 10 is placed. . After the pawl 9 is pulled out, when the pallet 1 on which the load 10 is placed is transported, the forklift can be moved forward and backward so that the forklift pawl 9 can be easily inserted under the movable member 5 (FIG. 3 (c) )) By inserting the nail 9 of the forklift into the nail insertion part 6 under the movable member 5 and lifting it, the pallet 1 on which the load 10 is placed can be transported safely and quickly, and work can be performed in the same manner as a conventional pallet. (FIG. 3 (d)).

  In the present invention, since the surface of the movable member formed on the claw insertion portion 6 and the surface of the upper plate are on the same horizontal plane, the load 10 is supported by the claw 9 of the forklift. Only the load of the pallet 1 is applied. For this reason, compared with the case where a partition is provided in the middle part of the nail insertion part 6, even when handling a load of several tons, an unreasonable load is not applied to the pallet 1, so that a pallet with excellent durability can be obtained. It is done.

  Since the pallet of the present invention has a movable member that forms the same horizontal plane as the upper plate of the pallet at the nail insertion part of the forklift, and the horizontal plane can move downward when a force is applied from above the upper plate. It can be easily used as a pallet that can easily load and unload loads such as forklift nail insertion and removal, and has excellent durability.

It is a perspective view which shows an example of the pallet of this invention. It is sectional drawing of a nail | claw insertion part. It is sectional drawing which shows the use condition of a pallet. It is a perspective view of the conventional pallet. It is a perspective view of the conventional pallet.
