Abstract

Proposed is an anti-vibration pallet. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an anti-vibration pallet that is capable of realizing an effect of an air spring by using only a combination of an auxiliary mount and a main mount that are formed of elastic bodies provided between an upper plate and a lower plate, and is also capable of maximizing an anti-vibration performance by controlling an optimal anti-vibration load according to a cargo load. In order to achieve the objectives described above, the present disclosure includes: an upper plate on which cargo is loaded on a top portion thereof; a lower plate positioned below the upper plate; a main mount installed between the lower plate and the upper plate; and an auxiliary mount installed outside the main mount.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An anti-vibration pallet comprising:
an upper plate on which cargo is loaded on a top portion thereof;
a lower plate positioned below the upper plate;
a main mount installed between the lower plate and the upper plate; and
an auxiliary mount installed outside the main mount,
wherein the main mount comprises:
a support frame installed on a top portion of the lower plate;
an elevation block installed below the upper plate;
a support bracket protruding upward from each of opposite sides of the support frame; and
a main elastic unit having a center portion hinge-coupled to an end portion of the support bracket and having a first end portion hinge-coupled to a side portion of the elevation block.

2. The anti-vibration pallet of claim 1 , wherein the main elastic unit comprises a plurality of main elastic units that are installed symmetrically with respect to the elevation block.

3. The anti-vibration pallet of claim 1 , wherein the main elastic unit comprises:
an elastic support member hinge-coupled to the support bracket;
a main elastic body positioned at an elastic body accommodating portion that is formed inside the elastic support member;
an elastic guide installed through both the elastic body accommodating portion and the main elastic body;
a second hinge bracket formed at a first end portion of the elastic guide and hinge-coupled to a first hinge bracket that is protruding from the side portion of the elevation block; and
a flange formed below the second hinge bracket and configured to support a first end portion of the main elastic body.

4. The anti-vibration pallet of claim 3 , wherein a nut accommodating recess is formed on a top portion of the elevation block and receives therein a nut that is screwed to the upper plate such that the nut is horizontally movable in the recess, and a rubber bushing is provided outside the nut.

5. The anti-vibration pallet of claim 3 , wherein the elevation block comprises:
a lower block on which the first hinge bracket is formed on each of opposite sides thereof;
an upper block provided at an upper portion of the lower block and configured to be movable vertically; and
an adjusting bolt rotatably installed at the lower block and screwed to the upper block so as to control a height of the upper block.

6. The anti-vibration pallet of claim 5 , wherein a block accommodating portion in which a center portion of the block is inserted to be movable vertically is formed at a center portion of the lower block, and a guide groove to which each of opposed side wall surfaces of the block accommodating portion is inserted is formed in a vertical direction at each side of the center portion of the upper block.

7. The anti-vibration pallet of claim 1 , wherein an elevation guide inserted inside the elevation upper block is provided on a top surface of the support frame, a guide protrusion protruding outward is formed on an upper end of the elevation guide, and a guide hole having a long hole shape to which the guide protrusion is inserted is formed through each of opposite sides of the elevation block.

8. The anti-vibration pallet of claim 1 , wherein a guide rod protrudes downward from each of opposite sides of the elevation block, and a guide member to which the guide rod is slidably inserted protrudes upward from a top surface of the support frame.

9. The anti-vibration pallet of claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary mount comprises:
an auxiliary elastic body configured to elastically support the upper plate;
an upper fixing member installed at an upper portion of the auxiliary elastic body and fixed to a bottom surface of the upper plate; and
a lower fixing member installed at a lower portion of the auxiliary elastic body and fixed to a top surface of the lower plate.

10. The anti-vibration pallet of claim 1 , wherein a main cover and an auxiliary cover are installed at a lower surface of the upper plate such that the main cover and the auxiliary cover are positioned outside the main mount and the auxiliary mount, respectively.
