[0002] With the improvement of people's living quality, the washing machine is more and more popular, and in this trend, the number of washing machines transported from the factory is also increasing.

[0003] Usually, in order to avoid the washing machine from being damaged or deformed due to bumps or shocks during transportation, the washing machine is usually provided with foam packaging outside the box. The foam packaging can isolate the washing machine from the outside and reduce the accidental damage that the washing machine may suffer during transportation. After the washing machine is packaged, it needs to be transported to the container for centralized transportation by the strapping machine.

[0004] However, according to the existing placement method of the washing machine, the space utilization rate of the container is not high, resulting in high transportation cost. SUMMARY

[0005] The embodiment of the present application provides a packing assembly and a method for packing washing machines, which solves the problem of low utilization rate of the container caused by the existing placement method of the washing machine, resulting in high transportation cost.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0040] The foregoing drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the present application, and in no way limit the scope of the present application as set forth in the claims. These drawings and the associated description herein serve as an exemplification only and are not intended to limit the scope of the application in any way. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments.

[0042] Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0043] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a prior art method where a layer of laundry products 102 is placed inside a container 101. Figure 1 As shown, multiple layers of packaged washing machines are stacked inside container 101. For ease of description, the "packaged washing machines" will be referred to as "laundry product 102" below. It should also be noted that the washing machine product is also a cuboid, with length, width, and height. The height of laundry product 102 is aligned with the height of container 101.

[0044] In each layer, laundry products 102 are arranged in two rows along the length of container 101. The length of laundry products 102 in each row is parallel to the width of container 101, and the width of laundry products 102 in each row is parallel to the length of container 101.

[0045] Due to structural limitations of existing packaging components, they can only withstand the force exerted by the clamping machine along the length of the laundry product 102. This means the two robotic arms of the clamping machine can only operate at both ends of the length of the laundry product 102, and cannot withstand the force exerted by the clamping machine along the width of the laundry product 102. In other words, the robotic arms of the clamping machine cannot operate at both ends of the width of the laundry product 102. The clamping machine can only clamp from side to side, not from front to back. Therefore, only methods such as... Figure 1 The laundry products 102 inside container 101 are arranged as shown.

[0046] Depend on Figure 1 As can be seen, each layer can only accommodate two rows of laundry products 102. Due to size limitations, there is a lot of unused space between the two ends of the laundry products 102 and the container 101 along the length direction. This not only results in low utilization of the container 101, but also requires excessive filler material 103 to fill the unused space.

[0047] Therefore, the present application provides a packing assembly which can withstand the force of the clamping machine along the length direction of the laundry product and the force of the clamping machine along the width direction of the laundry product, so that the space of the container can be fully utilized when the laundry product is arranged in the container.

[0048] The specific structure of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0049] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a layer of products in a container 6 is provided for the embodiment of the present application. In order to facilitate understanding, in the Figure 2 embodiment, the direction of the arrow X is the length direction of the container 6, the direction of the arrow Y is the width direction of the container 6, and the direction perpendicular to the paper is the height direction of the container 6.

[0050] As shown in Figure 2 , a plurality of arrangement groups are arranged in the container 6. Each arrangement group includes a first-position laundry product 3 and a second-position laundry product 4. The width direction of the first-position laundry product 3 is parallel to the length direction of the container 6, the length direction of the first-position laundry product 3 is parallel to the width direction of the container 6, and the height direction of the first-position laundry product 3 is parallel to the height direction of the container 6. That is, the first-position laundry product 3 is clamped and carried into the container by the clamping machine from left to right.

[0051] The width direction of the second-position laundry product 4 is parallel to the width direction of the container 6, the length direction of the second-position laundry product 4 is parallel to the length direction of the container 6, and the height direction of the second-position laundry product 4 is parallel to the height direction of the container 6. That is, the second-position laundry product 4 is clamped and carried into the container by the clamping machine from front to back.

[0052] By contrast with Figure 2 and Figure 1 , it can be seen that by increasing the arrangement or placement of diversified products, it is possible to realize that in the same size container 6, Figure 2 , the number of first-position laundry products 3 and second-position laundry products 4 in each arrangement group is more than Figure 1 , the number of laundry products arranged in each layer. The arrangement structure of the products in the container 6 provided by the present application has the advantages of diversification compared with the existing arrangement structure of the products in the container 6, and is beneficial to the rational use of the internal space of the container 6, the reduction of the number of containers 6 used, the reduction of the number of transportation times, and the saving of transportation costs.

[0053] Among them, the structure of a layer of arrangement groups of products in the container 6 includes but is not limited to the following possible implementation ways:

[0054] In one possible implementation way, as shown inFigure 2 As shown, each layer arrangement group comprises a row of first-position laundry products 3 arranged along the length direction of the container 6, and a row of second-position laundry products 4 arranged along the length direction of the container 6. The first-position laundry products 3 and the second-position laundry products 4 are arranged in a matrix to adapt to the shape and size of the container 6.

[0055] In the above embodiment, since the length direction of the container 6 is much longer than the width direction of the container 6, in a layer arrangement group, the first-position laundry products 3 are arranged in a row to make full use of the container 6. In addition, the first-position laundry products 3 and the second-position laundry products 4 are arranged in rows respectively to facilitate the factory to sort the first-position laundry products 3 and the second-position laundry products 4.

[0056] Exemplarily, Figure 2 In the above embodiment, the two rows of first-position laundry products 3 and the row of second-position laundry products 4 can fill up a layer arrangement group. The row of second-position laundry products 4 can be arranged between the two rows of first-position laundry products 3, or the row of second-position laundry products 4 can be arranged close to one side of the inner wall of the container 6. That is, compared with the arrangement of laundry products in the above embodiment, the arrangement of laundry products in the above embodiment increases the row of second-position laundry products 4. Figure 1 In the above embodiment, the arrangement of laundry products is obviously increased by the row of second-position laundry products 4.

[0057] Optionally, the laundry machines placed in the container in front of and behind the clamping machine are arranged in different rows or different columns. That is, the number of first-position laundry products 3 that can be accommodated by the container 6 is different for different sizes of the container 6. Exemplarily, when the width of the selected container 6 is longer than the width of the first-position laundry product 3, and the container 6 can accommodate one more row of second-position laundry products 4, the layer arrangement group comprises two rows of first-position laundry products 3 and two rows of second-position laundry products 4. This is only an example and is not limited in particular. Figure 2

[0058] Optionally,

[0059] The clamping machine clamps multiple packaged laundry machines at a time.

[0060] Optionally, the number of first-position laundry products 3 or second-position laundry products 4 that the operator carries by the clamping machine at a time includes but is not limited to the following possible implementation manners:

[0061] In one possible implementation manner, the operator can carry one first-position laundry product 3 or one second-position laundry product 4 at a time by the clamping machine.

[0062] ​In another possible implementation, the operator can use a clamping machine to clamp multiple packaged washing machines at a time. The packaged washing machines can all be first-position washing products 3, all be second-position washing products 4, or a mixture of first-position washing products 3 and second-position washing products 4.

[0063] Optionally, multiple packaged washing machines can be stacked vertically. That is, the clamping machine can transport multiple packaged washing machines of different layers stacked together at once.

[0064] Optionally, multiple packaged washing machines can be laid out horizontally side-by-side and / or front-to-back. This means that the operator can use a clamping machine to clamp multiple packaged washing machines on the same layer at a time.

[0065] Alternatively, multiple packaged washing machines can be arranged in both stacked and flat configurations.

[0066] Of course, it should be noted that the number of items an operator can handle at one time depends on the size of the gripper, the size of the product, and the size of container 6. This is just a list of several possible implementation methods and no specific limitation is made.

[0067] In another possible implementation of the structure of the layer arrangement of products in container 6, the first position laundry product 3 and the second position laundry product 4 are arranged alternately, or the first position laundry product 3 and the second position laundry product 4 are arranged in a mixed manner.

[0068] In another possible implementation, in the two arrangements mentioned above, the height direction of the laundry product 3 in the first position and the laundry product 4 in the second position is consistent with the height direction of the container 6. After arranging multiple layers according to the above arrangements, there is still some space remaining above the container 6. This space can accommodate a third layer of products. The width direction of the third layer of products is parallel to the height direction of the container 6, the length direction of the third layer of products is parallel to the length or width direction of the container 6, and the height direction of the third layer of products is parallel to the width or length direction of the container 6. The most suitable arrangement for a single layer of third-position products can be determined by referring to the above description.

[0069] Optionally, continue as follows Figure 2 As shown, a buffer layer 5 is provided between the laundry product 3 at the first position and the inner wall of the container 6; and / or, a buffer layer 5 is provided between the laundry product 4 at the second position and the inner wall of the container 6. The buffer layer 5 includes, but is not limited to, a foam layer.

[0070] Figure 3 This is a one-view perspective stereoscopic diagram of a product provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of a product from another perspective, as provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as...Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1, the product provided by the embodiment includes a washing machine 2 and a packaging assembly 1 for wrapping the washing machine 2 to avoid damage of the washing machine 2 during transportation.

[0071] For convenience of description, the direction indicated by arrow A is the front side of the packaging assembly 1, and the other direction is the back side of the packaging assembly 1; the direction indicated by arrow B is the right side of the packaging assembly 1, and the other side is the left side of the packaging assembly 1; the direction indicated by arrow C is the upper side of the packaging assembly 1, and the other side is the lower side of the packaging assembly 1.

[0072] Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1, the product provided by the embodiment includes a washing machine 2 and a packaging assembly 1 for wrapping the washing machine 2 to avoid damage of the washing machine 2 during transportation. Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1, the product provided by the embodiment includes a washing machine 2 and a packaging assembly 1 for wrapping the washing machine 2 to avoid damage of the washing machine 2 during transportation. Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1, the product provided by the embodiment includes a washing machine 2 and a packaging assembly 1 for wrapping the washing machine 2 to avoid damage of the washing machine 2 during transportation. Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1, the product provided by the embodiment includes a washing machine 2 and a packaging assembly 1 for wrapping the washing machine 2 to avoid damage of the washing machine 2 during transportation. Figure 4- Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1, the product provided by the embodiment includes a washing machine 2 and a packaging assembly 1 for wrapping the washing machine 2 to avoid damage of the washing machine 2 during transportation. The packaging assembly 1 includes a bottom liner 11, a top liner 12 and corner liners 13. The bottom liner 11 is used to support the washing machine 2. The top liner 12 is used to cover the upper end of the washing machine 2. The corner liners 13 are arranged between the bottom liner 11 and the top liner 12. The corner liners 13 are four in number, and each of the four corner liners 13 is used to wrap four edges of the washing machine 2. In addition, at least one clamping strip 14 is arranged between every two adjacent corner liners 13. The packaging assembly 1 can be made of foam material.

[0073] The packaging assembly 1, the product and the arrangement structure of the product in the container 6 provided by the embodiment can provide a force towards the clamping machine for the packaging assembly 1 when the clamping machine clamps left and right or front and back, so as to maintain the distance and structure shape between the adjacent two corner liners 13, protect the washing machine 2 in the packaging assembly 1, and reasonably utilize the internal space of the container 6, thereby saving the transportation cost.

[0074] The top liner 12 can cover the upper end of the washing machine 2 and is in interference fit with the washing machine 2. For example, the top liner 12 can include a hollow prism body with an open lower end. The prism body can include a top wall and a side wall connected to the outer periphery of the top wall and extending towards the bottom liner 11. The bottom wall and the side wall jointly enclose a receiving space in which the upper end of the washing machine 2 is arranged.

[0075] Secondly, the bottom liner 11 can be buckled at the lower end of the washing machine 2 and is in interference fit with the washing machine 2. The bottom liner 11 can be arranged in the same manner as the top liner 12 and the washing machine 2. Details are not described herein.

[0076] In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the product provided by the embodiment includes a washing machine 2 and a packaging assembly 1 for wrapping the washing machine 2 to avoid damage of the washing machine 2 during transportation. Figure 6As shown, the upper end of the corner pad 13 can be connected to the top pad 12 by means of insertion, and the lower end of the corner pad 13 can also be connected to the bottom pad 11 by means of insertion. Exemplarily, the upper and lower ends of the corner pad 13 can each be provided with a positioning block, and the top pad 12 can be provided with a first positioning groove opening downward. The bottom pad 11 can be provided with a second positioning groove opening upward. The positioning block at the upper end of the corner pad 13 can be matched with the first positioning groove, and the positioning block at the lower end of the corner pad 13 can be matched with the second positioning groove.

[0077] In addition, the corner pad 13 can include a first section 131 and a second section 132, the first section 131 is connected to the second section 132, and the first section 131 is bent relative to the second section 132. The first section 131 and the second section 132 respectively abut two adjacent faces of the washing machine 2. And the inner sides of the first section 131 and the second section 132 can surround an L-shaped strip area. The strip area is arranged towards the washing machine 2. The four edges of the washing machine 2 are in interference fit with the strip area to realize the connection between the washing machine 2 and the corner pad 13. It should be noted that the washing machine 2 is a cuboid, so it has four edges. One edge is connected to two faces of the washing machine 2. The inner wall of the strip area of the corner pad 13 abuts one face, and the other inner wall of the strip area abuts the other face. When the clamping machine clamps the product, the mechanical arm acts on the outer side of the corner pad 13. Because the corner pad 13 has a certain thickness and elasticity, it not only can avoid the direct contact between the mechanical arm and the washing machine 2, but also can protect the washing machine 2. It should be noted that the setting mode of the clamping strip 14 includes but is not limited to the following possible implementation modes:

[0078] In one of the possible implementation modes, as shown in the figure, Figure 5 The clamping strip 14 is parallel to the plane where the bottom pad 11 is located. When the clamping machine clamps left and right, that is, the mechanical arm of the clamping machine clamps the left and right sides of the packaging assembly 1, the clamping strip 14 arranged between the left and right faces of the packaging assembly 1 (that is, the clamping strip 14 arranged on the front and rear sides of the packaging assembly 1) provides a force opposite to the mechanical arm to the packaging assembly 1 to maintain the structure shape of the left and right sides of the packaging assembly 1, avoid the deformation of the left and right sides of the packaging assembly 1, and further affect the washing machine 2.

[0079] Among them, because the clamping force of the mechanical arm to the packaging assembly 1 is in the direction of arrow B, which is parallel to the plane where the bottom pad 11 is located. In order to improve the effective supporting force of the clamping strip 14, the direction of the clamping strip 14 to the corner pad 13 is along the axial direction, so the axis of the clamping strip 14 is arranged along the direction of arrow B, so that the force of the clamping strip 14 to the corner pad 13 is parallel or coincides with the clamping force of the mechanical arm.

[0080] In addition, the clamping strip 14 between the two adjacent corner pads 13 can be provided with one or more in the height direction (vertical direction) of the packaging assembly 1. When the clamping strip 14 between the two adjacent corner pads 13 is provided with one, the overall weight of the packaging assembly 1 is lighter; when the clamping strip 14 between the two adjacent corner pads 13 is provided with multiple, the force of the mechanical arm to the corner pad 13 can be further dispersed, so as to improve the structural strength of the packaging assembly 1.

[0081] In another possible implementation manner of the arrangement of the clamping strip 14, the clamping strip 14 between the two adjacent corner pads 13 is inclined to the plane where the bottom pad 11 is located. That is, the connection points of the clamping strip 14 and the two adjacent corner pads 13 are located at different height positions, which can increase the range of the force of the clamping strip 14 on the corner pad 13, so that the force is more balanced. Alternatively, the clamping strip 14 arranged between the two adjacent corner pads 13 can be provided with two, and the two clamping strips 14 can be arranged in cross.

[0082] In another possible implementation manner of the arrangement of the clamping strip 14, the clamping strip 14 between the two adjacent corner pads 13 can be arranged parallel to the plane of the bottom pad 11, or can be arranged inclined to the plane of the bottom pad 11. In order to increase the diversification of the arrangement of the clamping strip 14, it is beneficial to combine the advantages of the two ways mentioned above.

[0083] Alternatively, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the clamping strip 14 is in a strip shape. The clamping strip 14 can pass through the corner pad 13 in the thickness direction thereof. That is, the outer surface of the corner pad 13 is provided with a first groove 133, and the clamping strip 14 is fixed in the first groove 133, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly between the clamping strip 14 and the corner pad 13. Exemplarily, in the two adjacent corner pads 13, the first section 131 of one corner pad 13 and the second section 132 of the other corner pad 13 respectively abut two ends of the same face of the washing machine 2. The clamping strip 14 is in a strip shape, and the two ends of the length direction thereof are connected to the two adjacent corner pads 13, respectively.

[0084] Among them, the first section 131 and the second section 132 of the corner pad 13 are respectively provided with a first groove 133 for the insertion of the clamping strip 14. And the first groove 133 is in interference fit with the clamping strip 14, so that the clamping strip 14 is not easy to fall off from the corner pad 13 during transportation. The first groove 133 has a first opening facing away from the washing machine 2, so as to insert the clamping strip 14 from the front side or the rear side of the corner pad 13; the first groove 133 has a second opening facing the adjacent corner pad 13, so as to connect the clamping strip 14 with the other corner pad 13. The first groove 133 provided on the first section 131 of the corner pad 13 and the first groove 133 provided on the second section 132 of the corner pad 13 can be located at the same height, or can be located at different heights. In addition, the first groove 133 can be communicated with a release groove, so as to deform the corner pad 13 when the clamping strip 14 is inserted into the corner pad 13.

[0085] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, the outer side of the clamping strip 14 can be flush with the outer side of the corner insert 13. When the robotic arm of the clamping machine is in operation, the outermost side of the packaging component 1 contacts the robotic arm. Setting the outer side of the clamping strip 14 to be flush with the outer side of the corner insert 13 can increase the contact area between the packaging component 1 and the robotic arm, thereby increasing the pressure and friction between the robotic arm and the packaging component 1.

[0086] Optionally, the clamping strip 14 may also have a corner bushing 13 inserted through it along its axial direction. That is, the corner bushing 13 has a through hole inside, and the clamping strip 14 is inserted and fixed in the through hole. For example, the first section 131 and the second section 132 of the corner bushing 13 are respectively provided with a second groove, and the second groove has an opening facing the adjacent corner bushing 13. The depth direction of the opening is consistent with the length direction of the clamping strip 14. When the clamping strip 14 is engaged with the second groove, the clamping strip 14 is subjected to a force from the corner bushing 13 perpendicular to the wall surface of the clamping strip 14 and a force along the axial direction of the clamping strip 14, thereby restricting the circumferential and axial directions of the clamping strip 14.

[0087] Optionally, the clamping strip 14 can be made of wood. Wood is lighter and has a certain axial load-bearing capacity compared to foam.
