Abstract

The plastic pallet comprises two U-profile central sections (2) with hollow feet (4). These are welded together and cover plates (6) with rectangular apertures (5) fit on to blocks on the outer feet to seal them.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Palette nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a pallet according to the preamble of claim 1.

Um das Gewicht der Paletten möglichst niedrig zu halten, werden die gattungsgemäßen mehrteiligen Paletten üblicherweise unter Verwendung eines Oberteils und eines Unterteils hergestellt, so dass sich eine umlaufende Nahtlinie ergibt. Zur Handhabung der Paletten werden Flurförderfahrzeuge verwendet, die eine so genannte Hubgabel mit zwei Hubzinken aufweisen. Bei nicht korrekter Höhenpositionierung der Hubgabel kann es vorkommen, dass die Hubgabel nicht in die so genannten Einfahrtaschen der Palette, also in die Hohlräume zwischen zwei benachbarten Füßen eingefahren werden, sondern gegen die Schweißnaht geraten, wobei an der Schweißnaht die Empfindlichkeit der Palette gegen Beschädigungen am größten ist.In order to keep the weight of the pallets as low as possible, the generic multi-part pallets are usually produced using an upper part and a lower part, so that there is a circumferential seam line. For handling the pallets industrial trucks are used, which have a so-called lifting fork with two lifting tines. If the lifting fork is not correctly positioned vertically, it may happen that the lifting fork is not moved into the so-called entry pockets of the pallet, ie into the cavities between two adjacent feet, but rather against the weld, whereby the sensitivity of the pallet to damage on the weld seam biggest one is.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Palette dahingehend zu verbessern, dass diese einerseits möglichst preisgünstig herstellbar ist und andererseits einen möglichst guten Schutz gegen versehentliche Beschädigungen aufweist.The invention has for its object to improve a generic range to the effect that on the one hand this is both inexpensive to produce and on the other hand has the best possible protection against accidental damage.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Palette mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a pallet having the features of claim 1.

Die Erfindung schlägt mit anderen Worten einen regelrecht modularen Aufbau der Palette vor. So sind wenigstens zwei Mittelteile vorgesehen. Die Erfindung geht dabei von der Überlegung aus, dass wenigstens drei Reihen von Füßen und dementsprechend wenigstens drei Kufen vorgesehen sind. Jedes Mitteilteil bildet daher Anteile an zweien dieser Reihen von Füßen und Kufen aus. An der Stelle, an der die beiden Mittelteile aneinander geraten, verbinden sich diese beiden Mittelteile, um gemeinsam eine Reihe von Füßen und eine Kufe auszubilden. Die beiden dann noch verbleibenden Außenseiten werden durch Seitenwangen abgedeckt, so dass hierdurch die äußeren beiden Reihen von Füßen und die beiden äußeren Kufen vervollständigt werden. Dabei verlaufen die Nahtstellen nicht horizontal um die Palette herum, sondern jeweils vertikal umlaufend, so dass ein Flurförderfahrzeug, welches sich einer Seitenwange der Palette nähert, mit seinen Zinken nicht gegen die Nahtstelle geführt werden kann, sondern vielmehr entweder vorschriftsmäßig in die Hubtaschen eintaucht oder gegen die massive, nahtfreie Seitenwange gerät.In other words, the invention proposes a virtually modular construction of the pallet. So at least two middle parts are provided. The invention is based on the consideration that at least three rows of feet and accordingly at least three runners are provided. Each message section therefore forms parts of two of these rows of feet and runners. At the point where the two middle parts come together, these two middle parts combine to form together a series of feet and a runner. The two then remaining outer sides are covered by side walls, so that in this way the outer two rows of feet and the two outer runners are completed. In this case, the seams do not run horizontally around the pallet, but in each case revolve vertically, so that an industrial truck, which approaches a side wall of the pallet, with its teeth can not be performed against the seam, but rather either dips properly in the lifting pockets or against The massive, seamless side wall gets device.

Durch den modularen Aufbau kann mit wenigen unterschiedlichen Teilen vorteilhaft die Herstellung unterschiedlich großer Paletten ermöglicht werden. So können unterschiedlich größe Mittelteile unterschiedlich breite Paletten ergeben. Insbesondere kann vorteilhaft vorgesehen sein, dass die Mittelteile als Gleichteile ausgestaltet sind, so dass durch einfache Aneinanderreihung mehrerer gleicher Mittelteile das gewünschte Palettenmaß bestimmt werden kann. Auch die beiden Seitenwangen können als Gleichteile ausgestaltet sein, so dass die Herstellungskosten der Palette ebenso wie Lagerhaltungs- und Ersatzteilkosten durch die nur zwei unterschiedlichen Bauteile der Palette vorteilhaft gering gehalten werden können.Due to the modular structure can be made possible with a few different parts advantageous to produce different sized pallets. So different sized middle parts can result in different widths of pallets. In particular, it can be advantageously provided that the middle parts are designed as identical parts, so that the desired pallet size can be determined by simply juxtaposing a plurality of identical middle parts. The two side cheeks can be designed as a common part, so that the manufacturing cost of the pallet as well as storage and spare parts costs can be kept advantageously low by only two different components of the pallet.

Vorteilhaft kann das Deck wenigstens einen Hohlraum aufweisen, um das Gewicht der Palette möglichst niedrig zu halten, wobei zu Gunsten einer möglichst hohen Eigenstabilität der Palette in diesem Hohlraum Aussteifungselemente vorgesehen sind. Das Gleiche kann vorteilhaft für die Füße der Palette gelten: Auch in deren Hohlräumen können vorzugsweise Aussteifungselemente vorgesehen sein.Advantageously, the deck may have at least one cavity in order to keep the weight of the pallet as low as possible, wherein stiffening elements are provided in favor of the highest possible inherent stability of the pallet in this cavity. The same can advantageously apply to the feet of the pallet: Also in the cavities may preferably be provided stiffening elements.

Die Aussteifungselemente können beispielsweise dadurch verwirklicht sein, dass die betreffenden Hohlräume ausgeschäumt sind. Zusätzlich oder alternativ hierzu kann vorgesehen sein, dass Rippen in diesen Hohlräumen vorgesehen sind, die als Aussteifungsrippen dienen und materialeinheitlich von den Mitteilteilen bzw. von den Seitenwangen ausgebildet sind. Ergänzend oder alternativ zu den vorbeschriebenen Aussteifungsmöglichkeiten kann vorgesehen sein, dass Verstärkungsprofile, insbesondere Metallprofile, in die Hohlräume der Palette eingesetzt sind, wobei diese Aussteifungsprofile beispielsweise durch vorhandene Rippen der Mittelteile bzw. der Seitenwangen oder durch einen in die Hohlräume eingebrachten Schaum klapperfrei an ihrer vorgesehenen Position gehalten werden können.The stiffening elements can be realized for example by the fact that the respective cavities are filled with foam. Additionally or alternatively, it can be provided that ribs are provided in these cavities, which serve as stiffening ribs and are formed of the same material parts of the Mitteilteilen or of the side walls. In addition or as an alternative to the above-described stiffening options can be provided that reinforcing profiles, in particular metal profiles, are inserted into the cavities of the pallet, said stiffening profiles, for example, by existing ribs of the middle parts or the side walls or by an introduced into the cavities foam rattling at their intended Position can be held.

Vorteilhaft ist die Verbindung der einzelnen Palettenteile miteinander dauerhaft ausgeführt, also als nicht lösbare Verbindung. Hierdurch wird die Stabilität der Palette verbessert. Insbesondere wenn die nicht lösbare Verbindung dicht ausgeführt wird, beispielsweise durch Verklebung oder Verschweißung der Palettenteile miteinander, wird auch die Hygiene der Palette vorteilhaft beeinflusst, da das Eindringen von Flüssigkeiten in Hohlräume der Palette, oder auch das Austreten von Gasen aus den Hohlräumen vermieden werden kann.Advantageously, the connection of the individual parts of the pallet is permanently carried out with one another, ie as a non-detachable connection. This improves the stability of the pallet. In particular, when the non-releasable connection is made tight, for example by gluing or welding the pallet parts together, the hygiene of the pallet is also favorably influenced, since the penetration of liquids into cavities of the pallet, or even the escape of gases from the cavities can be avoided ,

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden anhand der rein schematischen Darstellungen nachfolgend näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt

Fig. 1
eine perspektivische Ansicht in auseinander gezogenem Zustand auf ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel, und

in perspektivischer, teilweise weggebrochener Darstellung eine Ansicht auf ein Mittelteil eines zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels.
Embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the purely schematic representations. It shows
Fig. 1
an exploded perspective view of a first embodiment, and
Fig. 2
in perspective, partially broken away view a view of a central part of a second embodiment.

In Fig. 1 ist mit 1 insgesamt eine Palette bezeichnet, die aus vier Teilen besteht: Jedes Mittelteil weist einen Abschnitt eines Decks 3 auf sowie an seinen beiden Längsrändern jeweils Abschnitte dreier Füße 4 sowie einer diese jeweils drei Füße verbindenden Kufe 5. Beide Mittelteile 2 sind als Gleichteile ausgestaltet und dort, wo die beiden Mittelteile 2 aneinander stoßen, bilden sie eine mittlere Kufe 5 mit den zugehörigen drei Füßen 4 aus.In Fig. 1, a total of 1 pallet is called, which consists of four parts: Each central part has a portion of a deck 3 and at its two longitudinal edges each sections of three feet 4 and one of these each three feet connecting skid 5. Both middle parts are designed as equal parts and where the two middle parts 2 abut each other, they form a middle runner 5 with the associated three feet 4.

Die Mittelteile 2 bestehen aus Kunststoff und können an ihrer gemeinsamen Nahtlinie beispielsweise miteinander verschweißt werden.The middle parts 2 are made of plastic and can be welded together at their common seam line, for example.

Die Größe der Palette 1 bestimmt sich durch die Anzahl der Mittelteile 2. Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 sind zwei Mittelteile 2 vorgesehen, wobei jedoch mehr als zwei Mittelteile 2 aneinander gereiht werden können.The size of the pallet 1 is determined by the number of middle parts 2. In the illustrated embodiment of Fig. 1, two middle parts 2 are provided, but more than two middle parts 2 can be strung together.

Die beiden Enden der Palette 1 werden jeweils durch eine Seitenwange 6 abgeschlossen, die ebenfalls, allerdings sehr flache, Abschnitte von Füßen 4 und einer Kufe 5 ausbildet.The two ends of the pallet 1 are each closed by a side cheek 6, which also, but very flat, sections of feet 4 and a runner 5 forms.

Durch den Aufbau der Palette 1 ergibt sich, dass die Nahtstellen in vergleichsweise gut geschützten Bereichen liegen: Wird ein Stoß gegen die Seitenwange 6 gerichtet, beispielsweise durch die Zinken der Gabel eines Flurförderfahrzeuges, so ist die Naht zwischen der Seitenwange 6 und dem benachbarten Mittelteil 2 vor diesem Stoß geschützt.The structure of the pallet 1 results in that the seams lie in comparatively well protected areas: If a shock is directed against the side cheek 6, for example by the tines of the fork of an industrial truck, the seam between the side cheek 6 and the adjacent middle part 2 protected from this shock.

Bei Annäherung an die Palette 1 aus einer um 90° unterschiedlichen Richtung, also in Längsrichtung der beiden Mittelteile 2, liegen die Nahtstellen vergleichsweise weit neben den Einfahrbereichen für die Gabel des Flurförderfahrzeuges.When approaching the pallet 1 from a direction different by 90 °, ie in the longitudinal direction of the two middle parts 2, the seams are comparatively far next to the Einfahrbereichen for the fork of the industrial truck.
