DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0028] The objective of the present invention is to provide a degradable bearing pallet and a preparation method thereof to overcome defects of the prior art. The degradable bearing pallet has a high bearing capability and a light weight, is unbreakable, capable of performing automatic degradation, and particularly applicable to aviation transport. The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the attached drawings to better explain the technical characteristics and advantages of the present invention.

[0029] The schematic views of the overall structure of the present invention can be seen in FIGS. 1-2. A degradable bearing pallet includes an upper cover 1, a packing middle layer 2 and a lower cover 3, wherein a plurality of pallet support legs 4 are disposed at the bottom of the lower cover 3; the lower cover 3 is integrally molded with the plurality of pallet support legs 4; the packing middle layer 2 is filled in the lower cover 3 and in the plurality of pallet support legs 4; the upper cover 1 covers the packing middle layer 2 and the lower cover 3; and the section of each of the pallet support legs 4 is shaped as a reverse trapezoid. For traditionally structured pallets, the pallet support legs and pallet body are usually separated, independently processed and then combined for use. However, during aviation transport, multiple fractures or breakages are easily caused during use. In the invention, the lower cover 3 and the plurality of pallet support legs 4 are integrally molded, and the packing middle layer 2 is filled in the lower cover 3 and the plurality of pallet support legs 4, so that the support legs and the main body are integrally molded in a filled way, avoiding breakage. Besides, the integrally molded structure strengthens the stability and bearing strength, avoiding sudden breakage or looseness caused by a large external force.

[0030] In the present invention, the section of each of the pallet support legs 4 is shaped as a reverse trapezoid; the length of one end of the reverse trapezoid close to the lower cover 3 is greater than the length of the other end away from the bottom of the lower cover 3; and the inclination angle of the reverse trapezoid is set as 30-60 DEG. Different from other prior arts, the inclination angle of the reverse trapezoid of the present invention is set as 30-60 DEG. In the terms of engineering mechanics, a light weight can be obtained, and heavy articles can be carried. For example, the inclination angle can be set as 30 DEG, 45 DEG or 60 DEG. The object bearing capability varies with the inclination angle. The inclination angle can be set upon materials and demands.

[0031] As shown in the FIGS. 2 and 3, in the present invention, the lower cover 3 is separately provided with at least three rows of pallet support legs 4; at least three pallet support legs 4 are arrayed in each of the rows; the middle part of the bottom of each of the pallet support legs 4 is formed with a sunken groove 41; the pallet support legs 4 in each of the rows are mutually connected through a connecting board 5; and each of the connecting boards 5 is clamped in a corresponding one of the sunken grooves 41. A non-return portion is disposed at the sunken groove 41 which clamps the two ends of each of the connecting boards 5, which means that half is shaped as the sunken groove and the other half is configured to be leveled with the bottom. In this way, each of the connecting boards 5 can be more stably clamped in the corresponding sunken grooves 41 to connect the corresponding pallet support legs 4, enhancing the bearing capability. During use of the pallet, relative slipping of articles and the pallets usually occur. The outer surfaces of the connecting boards 5 of the present invention are provided with anti-skid wave-like patterns. In the invention, the pallet can be used in combination with the connecting board 5, or can be used independently without the connecting boards 5.

[0032] At present, along with the development of the aviation transport, more and more pallets are demanded. As the pallets develop, old pallets must be recycled and degraded to avoid environmental pollution. The upper cover 1 and the lower cover 3 of the present invention are made of PET materials (polyethylene terephthalate). The upper cover 1 and the lower cover 3 are made of PET materials, so the recycled pallets can be buried and automatically degraded. The outer surfaces of the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 3 of the present invention are provided with anti-skid wave-like patterns, increasing the friction forces between the pallets and the articles. Of course, the invention is not limited to the PET materials, and can also adopt PVC materials.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 4, in the invention, an IC chip 4 is disposed between the upper cover 1 and the packing middle layer 2; the upper cover 1 is provided with a display window; the IC chip 4 is embedded in the display window; the IC chip is a memory chip, having memorizing and tracking functions. By scanning the IC chip, the position of a pallet can be memorized and tracked. Of course, the IC chip of the invention can also be disposed on a lateral side of the upper cover 1, and logistics information can be obtained by scanning with a scanning gun. The scanning gun obtains the logistics information to get a connection with the Internet, so users can master the dynamic status of the pallet in time.

[0034] In order to ensure that materials adopted by the present invention are completely automatically degraded, the packing middle layer of the present invention is prepared by the following ingredients by mass part. Below are several embodiments.

Embodiment 1

[0035]

TABLE-US-00002 polyether polyol 4110 0.5 parts; polyether polyol 635 0.1 parts; polyether polyol 380 0.03 parts; bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether solution 0.0003 parts; N,N-dimethylcyclohexanamine 0.003 parts; hexahydro-1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazine catalyst 0.002 parts; C18 quaternary ammonium salt catalyst 0.008 parts; DBU quaternary ammonium salt catalyst 0.00008 parts; silicone oil 0.016 parts; cyclopentane 0.116 parts; PAPI (polyaryl polymethylene isocyanate) 1.3 parts.

[0036] In the above embodiment, polyether polyol, which is called polyester in short, is prepared by a polyaddition reaction of low polymers of which the main chains contain ether bonds (ROR) and of which the terminal groups or pendent groups contain more than 2 hydroxide radicals (OH), an initiator (a compound containing active hydrogen radicals), ethylene oxide (EO), propylene oxide (PO), butane oxide (BO) with the existence of catalysts. The maximum yield of the polyether is obtained by using glycerol as the initiator and the epoxide. By changing conditions such as the feeding mode (mixed or separate way) of PO and EO, the amount ratio and the feeding sequence, various universal polyether polyols are produced.

[0037] The polyether polyol 4110 has an average functionality degree of 4.0-5.0 and a hydroxyl value of 430-470 mgKOH/g; the polyether polyol 635 has an average functionality degree of 3.5-4.2 and a hydroxyl value of 470-490 mgKOH/g; and the polyether polyol 380 has an average functionality degree of 3.4-3.8 and a hydroxyl value of 380-420 mgKOH/g. For example, in embodiment 1, the polyether polyol 4110 has a functionality degree of 4.0 and a hydroxyl value of 430 mgKOH/g; the polyether polyol 635 has a functionality degree of 3.5 and a hydroxyl value of 470 mgKOH/g; and the polyether polyol 380 has a functionality degree of 3.4 and a hydroxyl value of 380 mgKOH/g.

[0038] The polyether polyol 4110 is synthesized with saccharose, propylene glycol and epoxypropane, taking the saccharose as the initiator. The polyether polyol 635 takes sorbitol as the initiator. The polyether polyol 635 and the polyether polyol 4110 are hard-foam polyether, which are usually polyoxypropylene tetraol or hexaol, taking tetramethylolmethane, dene diamine, sugar and sorbitol as the initiator, having a relatively high degree of functionality and having reaction activities far higher than those of the flexible-foam polyether. Rigid polyurethane foams are massively applicable to the temperature preservation of home appliances, outer building walls, and large-sized refrigeration storages. A huge amount of rigid polyurethane foams are needed. The production of such polyether is relatively simple; diversified polyether of different quality are available on the domestic market, a little bit lower than the flexible-foam polyether in price Domestic manufacturers of flexible-foam and hard-foam polyether are relatively concentrated because the main material sources, propylene oxide and ethylene oxide, mainly come from Shandong province or are mainly imported. Main manufacturers include: Sinopec Shanghai Gaoqiao Petrochemical Co., Ltd., GPRO Group Jiangsu Zhongshan Chemical Co., Ltd., Shandong Dongda Group Co., Ltd., Shandong Sinder Federal Corporation, Third Petrochemical Factory of Tianjin Petrochemical Co., Ltd., Fushun Jiahua Chemicals Inc., CNOOC and Shell petrochemical company limited, Nanjin HUMHO Tire, etc. Polyether polyol 380 (polyether polyol SA-380) is high-activity polyether which has high reaction activities, for example, the polyether polyol 380 produced in Langfang, Hebei province. The polyether polyol 4110, polyether polyol 635 and polyether polyol 380 used in the present invention were products supplied by Liyang Chemical Factory.

[0039] Cyclopentane is used as a solvent, a foaming agent (replacing Freon) for preparation of the polyurethane foam, and a standard substance for chromatographic analysis, etc. The cyclopentane is a pure product with a concentration of 99.9-100%. PAPI (polyaryl polymethylene isocyanate) or crude MDI, is a viscose liquid which is light yellow to brown. PAPI smells like an irritant, and is used during the pallet preparation to improve the viscosity of all ingredients of the pallets. PAPI is required to be kept in a cool, ventilated and dry warehouse, away from fire and heat sources. Water, moisture and light exposure are strictly prohibited. The relative density of PAPI (20 C./20 DEGC) is 1.2. The ignition temperature is 218 DEGC. The freezing point is smaller than 10 DEGC, and the viscosity (25 DEGC) is 200-1,000 mPa.Math.s, for example, the viscosity (25 DEGC) is 200 mPa.Math.s in this embodiment. PAPI is a mixture of MDI and polyisocyanates with more than two functional groups in a ratio of 1:1. PAPI is low in steam pressure, in volatility and in cost, so using PAPI as the raw material is environmentally-friendly and healthy and reduces raw material costs.

[0040] The bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether solution is 70% bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether solution. The catalyst prepared by 70 mass % bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether solution and 30 mass % dipropylene glycol (DPG) is most frequently used. N,N-dimethylcyclohexanamine (Nitrogen, Nitrogen-dimethylcyclohexanamine) is a transparent liquid which is colorless to light yellow, capable of being dissolved in alcohol and ether solvents. It is mainly used as a hard-foam polyurethane catalyst. The hexahydro-1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazine catalyst is hexahydro-1,3,5-tris(hydroxyethyl)-s-triazine, which is a light yellow transparent viscose liquid and has a content of 74.00-78.00%. The C18 quaternary ammonium salt catalyst is 2,4,6-tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol, or the salt solution of C18 quaternary ammonium salt, with a concentration of 60-80%. The DBU quaternary ammonium salt catalyst is 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene, or the salt solution of DBU quaternary ammonium salt, with a concentration of 60-80%. The bis (2-dimethylaminoethyl) ether solution, N,N-dimethylcyclohexanamine, hexahydro-1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazine catalyst, C18 quaternary ammonium salt catalyst and DBU quaternary ammonium salt catalyst are all polyurethane catalysts with a delay action, all produced by Liyang Chemical Factory. When those catalysts are supplied in the form of salt solutions, the mass ratio is 60-80%. For example, in the embodiment, the concentration in the mass ratio of the above salt solutions can be 60%. The above catalysts balance the foaming and gelling reactions to achieve an ideal foaming effect, so that the whole pallet has a high bearing capability and high air permeability.

[0041] The silicone oil is annular polydimethylsiloxane which is obtained by steps of preparing the primarily polycondensed annulus through hydrolysis of dimethyldichlorosilance, cracking and refining the annulus to obtain low annulus, gathering the annulus, the 1,1,3,3-Tetramethyldisiloxane and the catalyst and then performing telomerization to obtain mixtures of different polymerization degrees, decompressing and distilling the mixtures to remove the low-boiling-point substances. The viscosity of the silicone oil is 100-200 (25 DEGC)cs. The KS6840 silicone oil is a surfactant supplied by Nanjing KISEN International Engineering Co., Ltd., for example, the viscosity of the silicone oil is 100 (25 DEGC) cs.
