DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] According to the pallet structure having preset shape for holding support of the present invention, please refer to FIG. 1, which is a front perspective view of the pallet structure having preset shape for holding support of this invention. The pallet structure 1 of this invention includes a shape main body 10. The shape main body 10 includes at least one supporting groove therein. The support are accommodated in the supporting groove to be integrated with the shape main body 10. The supporting grooves can be divided into horizontal and vertical directions. In the horizontal direction, there have a plurality of vertical grooves 11. The vertical grooves 11 are used for accommodating a support, which is a vertical grounding support (the grounding stand 20). In the vertical direction, there have a plurality of transverse grooves 12. The transverse grooves 12 are used for accommodating a transverse strip-shaped support (the transverse strip 30). When the strip-shaped support is combined with the shape main body 10, the movement of the grounding stand 20 can be limited, so that the overall pallet structure 1 is more stable.

[0014] Then please refer FIG. 2A, which is exploded perspective view of the pallet structure having preset shape for holding support of this invention. The pallet structure 1 of this invention includes a shape main body 10. The shape main body 10 has at least one vertical groove 11 and a plurality of transverse grooves 12 formed therein. The grounding stands are accommodated in the vertical groove 11 to make the pallet structure 1 be more stable. The transverse grooves 12 are used for accommodating the transverse strip 30. When the strip-shaped support is combined with the shape main body 10, the movement of the grounding stand 20 can be limited, so that the pallet structure 1 is more rigid. Please also see FIG. 2B. The combination of the shape main body 10 and the support (the grounding stand 20 and the transverse strip 30) can be implemented by applying fasteners or without fasteners. For example, if the shape main body 10 and the support (the grounding stand 20 and the transverse strip 30) are made of metal, the support (the grounding stand 20 and the transverse strip 30) can be fixed in the supporting grooves (the vertical groove 11 and the transverse grooves 12) of the shape main body 10 by welding.

[0015] On the other hand, if the shape main body 10 and the support (the grounding stand 20 and the transverse strip 30) are made of plastic material, the support (the grounding stand and the transverse strip 30) can be fixed in the supporting grooves (the vertical groove 11 and the transverse grooves 12) of the shape main body 10 by ultrasonic or high-frequency welding. Moreover, regardless of whether the shape main body 10 and the support (the grounding stand 20 and the transverse strip 30) are made of metal, plastic or other materials, the support (the grounding stand 20 and the transverse strip 30) can be fixed in the supporting grooves (the vertical groove 11 and the transverse grooves 12) of the shape main body 10 by glue. Excepting for glue, the support (the grounding stand 20 and the transverse strip 30) can be fixed in the supporting grooves (the vertical groove 11 and the transverse grooves 12) of the shape main body 10 by screws, rivets or the likes. Furthermore, if the strength requirements are low, a tight fit can also be used to directly engage the support (the grounding stand 20 and the transverse strip 30) with the supporting grooves (the vertical groove 11 and the transverse grooves 12) of the shape main body 10. It can be known that the above-mention is merely illustrative, and the corresponding fixing manner (with or without fasteners) is currently common and can be simply replaced.

[0016] Then please refer to FIG. 3, which is a rear perspective view of the pallet structure having preset shape for holding support of this invention. The shape main body 10 further includes a plurality of foot bases 40 in the rear side. In the figure, the foot bases 40 are integrated with the shape main body 10 to make the pallet structure 1 be more stable.

[0017] In addition to the above-mentioned embodiments, the foot base 40 can be installed separately (separably assembled, not shown in the figure). The shape can be cylindrical, square, elongated, or any other geometric shape divided into several strips or pieces. Assembly and installation can using fasteners or without fasteners to simplify transportation and be convenient for using.

[0018] Excepting for the above-mention embodiment, please refer to FIG. 4, which is a front perspective view of another embodiment of the pallet structure having preset shape for holding support of this invention. The pallet structure 1 of this invention includes a shape main body 10. The shape main body 10 has at least one vertical groove 11. The grounding stands 20 are accommodated in the vertical groove 11. The shape main body 10 further includes a plurality of transverse grooves 12 on its surface. The transverse grooves 12 are used for accommodating the transverse strip 30. A upper cover plate 50 is disposed on the transverse strip 30. By the combination of the upper cover plate 50 with the shape main body 10, the grounding stands 20 and the transverse strip 30 will not be exposed. The support of the pallet structure 1 and the anti-torsion of the shape main body 10 will be further improved. It also provides the grounding stands 20 and the transverse strip 30 with better weather resistance to avoid moisture and rust. Therefore, the shortcomings, such as easy to age, lack of rigidity or prone to decline in performance, of the conventional pallets can be avoided.

[0019] The material of the shape main body 10 and the upper cover plate 50 may be plastic or made of other various materials. The production method is not limited to blister, injection or compression. The other materials of the pallet structure 1 are not necessarily made of a specific material. The pallet structure 1 can also be used in combination with different materials, quantities, thicknesses, shapes, etc. on the material, so as to meet the requirements of different using scenarios and load capacities. In the case that the shape main body 10 is configured with supports with different quantities and materials to meet the requirements of different using scenarios and load capacities, the number of molds can be greatly saved to decrease the production difficulty.

[0020] Furthermore, in case of the shape main body 10 and the upper cover 50 have certain rigidity and strength, in some applications, only a fewer amount of supports (or even no supports) are needed be used to form the pallets. The shape main body 10, supports and upper cover plate 50 of the pallet structure 1 can be produced and installed by using any common processes, such as applying fasteners or without fasteners (for example: welding, gluing, ultrasonic, high frequency or gluing, etc.).

[0021] According to the present invention, the pallet structure having a preset shape for holding a support is easy and convenient to manufacture. The structure is rigid, firm and lightweight, so that the pallet is also suitable for storage and transport. The above-mentioned description is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. For example, in the present embodiment, the shape main body or the upper cover plate are also with holes to reduce the weight. In case of the sufficient supports are used to offer sufficient rigidity, the upper cover plate may not be arranged. The transverse strips may be solid or hollow. It will be obvious for any one of ordinary skill in the art that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
