Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of equipment packaging, and more particularly to a packaging structure and packaging system for a lawnmower system. Background Technology

[0002] In the market, most equipment packaging uses corrugated cardboard or EPS as cushioning materials to reduce damage caused by external forces during transportation. To ensure the cushioning performance and provide more comprehensive protection for the equipment, the material properties of corrugated cardboard and EPS generally require a cushioning distance of 30 to 50 millimeters. Such a large cushioning distance inevitably leads to excessively large packaging volume. This, to some extent, increases logistics and transportation costs, which is detrimental to business development. Furthermore, the physical properties of corrugated cardboard make it highly susceptible to environmental factors, and it is difficult to recover its shape after being exposed to moisture or deformed by external forces, significantly affecting its cushioning performance. EPS materials cannot be exported to the EU, and its material properties include fragility, poor resilience after deformation, difficulty in degradation, and toxicity after incineration. Therefore, there is an urgent need for packaging with excellent cushioning performance to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0044] The specific embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] In this article, terms such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate the relative positional relationship between related parts, rather than to define the absolute position of these related parts.

[0046] In this article, "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish one another, and not to indicate degree of importance, order, or prerequisite for each other.

[0047] In this document, terms such as “equal” and “same” are not strict mathematical and / or geometric limitations, but also include errors that are understandable to those skilled in the art and permissible in manufacturing or use.

[0048] This disclosure provides a packaging structure for a lawnmower system, the system including a lawnmower and a base station. The base station includes a base plate and a base station body detachably connected to the base plate. The base station body has a cavity for accommodating at least a portion of the lawnmower. When the base station body is mounted to the base plate, the lawnmower engages with the cavity on the base station body to rest on the base station.

[0049] The packaging structure includes a packaging box with an inner cavity and a cushioning assembly. The cushioning assembly is disposed within the inner cavity of the packaging box and includes a first cushioning member and a second cushioning member disposed opposite each other along the length of the packaging box. The first and second cushioning members are positioned above a base plate. The base station body and the lawnmower are configured to be confined within the space enclosed by the first and second cushioning members. That is, the base plate and the base station body are placed independently, and the first and second cushioning members enclose a space within the packaging box for placing the base plate, the base station body, and the lawnmower, thereby cushioning the base plate, the base station body, and the lawnmower. The packaging structure disclosed herein, through the cushioning members, can buffer the impact force received by the lawnmower, the base station body, and the base plate, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the lawnmower system.

[0050] Furthermore, the base plate is independent of the base station body and is configured to be located at the bottom of the packaging box. The base station body and the lawnmower are located above the base plate and are arranged along the length of the base plate. This arrangement maximizes the use of the packaging box's interior cavity, allowing the lawnmower, base station body, and base plate to be placed in a more rational layout within the packaging box, thereby effectively reducing the size of the packaging box and consequently lowering logistics and transportation costs.

[0051] For ease of understanding, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 10 The specific structure and working principle of the packaging structure disclosed herein will be described in detail with reference to one embodiment.

[0052] refer to Figures 1 to 2 This disclosure provides a packaging structure for a lawnmower system, the lawnmower system including a lawnmower 1 and a base station 2, wherein the base station 2 includes a base plate 21 and a base station body 22 detachably connected to the base plate 21. (Reference) Figure 2 and Figure 9 The base station body 22 has a cavity that can accommodate at least part of the lawnmower 1. After the base station body 22 is installed together with the base plate 21, the lawnmower 1 can cooperate with the cavity on the base station body 22, that is, the lawnmower 1 can be parked on the base station 2, so that the base station 2 can charge or self-clean the lawnmower 1. The function of the base station 2 can be designed according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0053] The packaging structure disclosed herein is used to package lawnmower 1 and base station 2, so that lawnmower 1 and base station 2 can be packaged and transported together. Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7The packaging structure includes a packaging box 31 with an inner cavity and a cushioning assembly. The cushioning assembly and the lawnmower system are housed within the inner cavity of the packaging box 31. During packaging, the base plate 21 is independent of the base station body 22, and the base plate 21 is configured to be located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the packaging box 31. The base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1 are both located above the base plate 21, and the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1 are configured to be arranged along the length of the base plate 21.

[0054] A buffer assembly is used to cushion the lawnmower 1 and the base station 2. It includes a first buffer and a second buffer, which are arranged opposite each other along the length of the packaging box 31 and positioned above the base plate 21. That is, the base plate 21 is placed at the bottom of the packaging box 31, and the first and second buffers are located above the base plate 21, respectively arranged on opposite sides of the packaging box 31 along its length, so that the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1 can be confined within the space 32 enclosed by the first and second buffers. (Reference) Figure 6 , Figure 8 The first and second buffer components form a space 32 within the inner cavity of the packaging box 31, thereby confining the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1 between the first and second buffer components. This allows the first and second buffer components to position and cushion the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1. During actual transportation, the buffer components located inside the packaging box 31 can effectively reduce the impact of vibration on the lawnmower 1 and the base station 2 inside the packaging box 31, thus protecting the lawnmower 1 and the base station 2.

[0055] In one specific embodiment of this disclosure, the first buffer and the second buffer can form a space for accommodating the base plate 21, a space for accommodating the lawnmower 1, and a space for accommodating the base station body 22 within the inner cavity of the packaging box 31. These spaces can be independent or interconnected.

[0056] In this embodiment, the base plate 21 is independent of the base station body 22 and is configured to be located at the bottom of the packaging box 31. The base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1 are respectively located above the base plate 21 and are configured to be arranged along the length of the base plate 21 and located at the bottom of the packaging box 31. This arrangement maximizes the use of the internal space of the packaging box 31, allowing the lawnmower 1, base station body 22, and base plate 21 to be placed reasonably and compactly within the space 32. By adjusting the layout of the base station 2 and lawnmower 1 within the packaging box 31, the size of the packaging box 31 can be reduced, thereby reducing logistics and transportation costs while still accommodating the loading of the lawnmower 1 and base station 2.

[0057] For clarity of the packaging structure of this disclosure, see reference. Figure 2 The directions are denoted as follows: the length of the packaging box 31 in the figure is denoted as the X-axis, the width as the Y-axis, and the height as the Z-axis. The X, Y, and Z-axis directions mentioned above are for reference only, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on them.

[0058] In one embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The base station body 22 includes a vertical portion 222 extending in the Z-axis direction and a horizontal portion 221 extending from the upper end of the vertical portion 222 in the X-axis direction, the horizontal portion 221 and the vertical portion 222 forming a cavity. The horizontal portion 221 and the vertical portion 222 of the base station body 22 can be integrally formed or formed through a subsequent assembly process, which will not be specifically described here. It can also be understood that the base station body 22 has a portion extending in the vertical direction and a portion extending in the horizontal direction, which together form a cavity. When packaged by a packaging structure, one end of the lawnmower 1 in the forward direction can be inserted into the cavity, and the other end is located outside the cavity and is configured to extend along the X-axis direction of the base plate 21. The lawnmower 1 of this disclosure is equipped with an image acquisition device, which is usually located at the end of the lawnmower 1 in its forward direction, so as to acquire images around the lawnmower 1, etc. In order to obtain a large wide angle, these image acquisition devices are usually exposed or protruding from the end face of the lawnmower 1. Therefore, one end of the lawnmower 1 in the forward direction is inserted into the cavity, allowing the image acquisition device to be protected by the cavity of the base station body 22, preventing damage to the image acquisition device caused by compression from other components. This image acquisition device can be a panoramic camera and / or a fisheye lens.

[0059] After the base station of this disclosure is removed from the packaging structure, the vertical part 222 can be connected to the base plate 21, so that the horizontal part 221, the vertical part 222, and the base plate 21 work together to form a cavity that matches the forward direction of the lawnmower 1, allowing the lawnmower 1 to travel through the base plate 21 into the cavity. During packaging, by utilizing the structure of the base station body 22, the horizontal part 221 and the vertical part 222 are enclosed to form a cavity that fits the lawnmower 1, thus fully utilizing the interior of the packaging box 31 in the Z and X axis directions and improving space utilization. This arrangement also helps to improve the stability between the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1, reducing the occurrence of shaking of the lawnmower system inside the packaging box 31 during transportation.

[0060] In a specific embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 10The horizontal portion 221 overlaps with the orthographic projection of one end of the lawnmower 1 in the forward direction on the horizontal plane. The vertical portion 222 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the lawnmower 1 in the vertical plane perpendicular to the X-axis. In this embodiment, after the lawnmower 1 and the base station body 22 are installed in the space 32, the horizontal portion 221 overlaps with the orthographic projection of one end of the lawnmower 1 in the forward direction on the horizontal plane, that is, one end of the lawnmower 1 in the forward direction extends into the cavity, and the two overlap at least partially in the height direction; the vertical portion 222 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the lawnmower 1 in the vertical plane perpendicular to the X-axis, that is, the two overlap at least partially in the orthographic projection along the X-axis. By arranging the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1 in this way, the volume occupied by the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1 can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall size of the packaging structure. That is, by rationally arranging the positional relationship between the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1, the internal space of the space 32 can be utilized more fully, thereby reducing the volume of the packaging box 31.

[0061] In one embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 9 The orthographic projections of the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1 on the horizontal plane are located within the orthographic projection range of the base plate 21 on the horizontal plane. In this embodiment, when the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1 are placed in space 32, since the two orthographic projections on the horizontal plane can be completely covered by the orthographic projection of the base plate 21 on the horizontal plane, that is, the two main parts of the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1 do not exceed the edge of the base plate 21, the dimensions of the packaging box 31 in the X and Y axis directions can be close to the size of the base plate 21, which can reduce the overall size of the packaging box 31. In addition, this arrangement also helps to limit the shape of the packaging box 31, keeping it regular, so as to facilitate subsequent stacking, transportation, etc.

[0062] In one embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 7 The first buffer includes a first barrier 34 and a second barrier 35 located at two corners of the packaging box 31 on the side away from the base station body 22. Drive wheel grooves 341 are provided on the end faces of the first barrier 34 and the second barrier 35. The two drive wheels 11 of the lawnmower 1 are respectively located in the drive wheel grooves 341 of the first barrier 34 and the second barrier 35. When the lawnmower 1 is placed inside the space 32, by placing the drive wheels 11 of the lawnmower 1 in the drive wheel grooves 341, the horizontal movement of the lawnmower 1 can be restricted. Thus, when the packaging box 31 is impacted by external factors such as transportation, the impact force between the lawnmower 1 and the inner cavity of the packaging box 31 can be reduced by decreasing the range of movement of the lawnmower 1 within the space 32.

[0063] In one embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 7 , Figure 8 The end faces of the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35 are configured to support the bottom of the lawnmower 1. The driving wheels of the lawnmower 1 at its forward direction end are configured to be supported on the base plate 21 or suspended above the base plate 21. In a specific embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to... Figure 4 , Figure 5 With the drive wheel 11 of the lawnmower 1 located in the drive wheel groove 341 on the end faces of the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35, the bottom of the lawnmower 1 can rest on the end faces of the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35. This increases the contact area between the bottom of the lawnmower 1 and the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35 to a certain extent. This design allows the lawnmower 1 to be placed more stably within the packaging structure, further reducing the possibility of it shaking under external force and strengthening the protection of the lawnmower 1.

[0064] The first guardrail 34 and the second guardrail 35 can extend a predetermined distance along the X-axis from both sides of the packaging box 31, for example, extending to support the lawnmower 1 so that the driving wheels of the lawnmower 1 at its forward direction end are configured to be supported on the base plate 21 or suspended above the base plate 21. In a specific embodiment of this disclosure, the first guardrail 34 and the second guardrail 35 can extend to approximately or exceed half the length of the lawnmower 1, thereby allowing the bottom of the lawnmower 1 to be supported by the end faces of the first guardrail 34 and the second guardrail 35. This allows all or most of the overall weight of the lawnmower 1 to be applied to the first guardrail 34 and the second guardrail 35, thereby improving the cushioning effect of the first guardrail 34 and the second guardrail 35 on the lawnmower 1.

[0065] In one embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 6 , Figure 7 The packaging structure includes an L-shaped corner protector 33 extending along the bottom edge of the packaging box 31, with the bottom plate 21 configured to be positioned within the L-shaped groove of the corner protector 33. In actual transportation, the bottom of the packaging box experiences the most impacts and bears significant pressure. The corner protector 33 effectively enhances the packaging strength of the packaging box 31, thereby reducing the risk of damage due to expansion during logistics transportation.

[0066] The corner protector structure 33 can be set at the bottom edge of the packaging box 31. For example, when the packaging box is a cuboid structure, the corner protector structure 33 can form a ring around the bottom of the packaging box 31 or a C-shaped structure around the three side walls of the bottom of the packaging box 31. By setting the corner protector structure, the structural strength of the bottom of the packaging box 31 can be improved. The corner protector structure 33 has an L-shaped cross-section, that is, the corner protector structure 33 has a part extending horizontally to fit against the bottom of the packaging box 31 and a part extending vertically to fit against the side wall of the packaging box 31, forming an L-shaped groove structure. The base plate 21 can be placed in the L-shaped groove of the corner protector structure 33, so that the corner protector structure 33 forming a ring or C-shaped structure can provide support for the edge of the base plate 21. The relatively hard material properties of the base plate 21 can also be used to further reduce the risk of deformation of the packaging box 31, thereby further protecting the lawnmower 1 inside the packaging box 31.

[0067] In a specific embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 7 The bottoms of the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35 are supported within the L-shaped grooves of the corner protection structure 33. Specifically, the bottoms of the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35 mate with the horizontally extended portion of the L-shaped groove, and the base plate 21 also mates with the horizontally extended portion of the L-shaped groove. The bottoms of the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35 are provided with extension grooves 343 that mate with the edge of the base plate 21. The interaction between the bottoms of the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35 and the L-shaped grooves of the corner protection structure reduces collisions between the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35 and the inner wall of the packaging box, thereby protecting the lawnmower 1. (Reference) Figure 5 The bottom of the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35 are provided with an extension groove 343 that matches the edge of the base plate 21, so that the outer side of the edge of the base plate 21 is connected with the side wall of the corner protection structure 33 through the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35, thereby preventing the side wall of the base plate 21 from directly contacting the corner protection structure 33.

[0068] In a specific embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 7 , Figure 8 The extension groove 343 extends from the edge of the base plate 21 to engage with the end face of the base plate 21. Specifically, the upper end face of the edge of the base plate 21 engages with the extension groove 343 at the bottom of the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35, causing the extension groove 343 at the bottom of the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35 to press the edge of the base plate 21 into the L-shaped groove of the corner protection structure 33. In this way, the extension groove 343 and the corner protection structure 33 enclose the edge of the base plate 21, further securing the base plate 21.

[0069] In one embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 or Figure 6The first buffer also includes an upper enclosure 38 above the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35. A mating groove 381, adapted to the position of the end of the lawnmower 1, is provided at the center of the bottom of the upper enclosure 38. The end of the lawnmower 1 is configured to be clamped between the upper enclosure 38 and the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35. In this embodiment, referring further... Figure 6 When the lawnmower 1 is placed in the space 32, the mating groove 381 fits snugly against the end face of the lawnmower 1. The mating groove 381, the first enclosure 34, and the second enclosure 35 restrict the lawnmower 1 from moving in the Z, X, and Y axes, thereby reducing the possibility of the lawnmower 1 being bumped or knocked by external forces inside the packaging box 31, thus protecting the lawnmower 1.

[0070] In addition, the first barrier 34 and the second barrier 35 are located at the two corners of the packaging box 31, respectively. The upper barrier 38 extends along the Y-axis from the position corresponding to the first barrier 34 to the position corresponding to the second barrier 35, that is, the upper barrier 38 is located above the first barrier 34 and the second barrier 35. This allows the upper barrier 38 to limit the first barrier 34 and the second barrier 35, thereby helping to limit the lawnmower 1 and allowing it to fit more tightly against the lawnmower 1, thus strengthening the cushioning effect of the first buffer member on the lawnmower 1. In one embodiment of this disclosure, the lower end face of the upper barrier 38 can be fitted with the upper end face of the first barrier 34 and the second barrier 35 or have a certain gap.

[0071] In one embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 5 and Figure 7 The upper enclosure 38 has multiple groove structures on the side away from the base station 2, and these groove structures are fitted to fit the inner wall of the packaging box 31. In this way, when the packaging box 31 is subjected to external force, the groove structures can buffer the external force to protect the equipment located inside the packaging box 31.

[0072] In one embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 6 The second buffer includes a third barrier 36 and a fourth barrier 37 located at two corners of the packaging box 31 adjacent to the base station body 22. The third barrier 36 and the fourth barrier 37 are configured to be supported on the base plate 21, and their upper surfaces are provided with receiving grooves 371 adapted to the base station body 22. The base station body 22 is configured to be supported within the receiving grooves 371. In this embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 4The third enclosure 36 and the fourth enclosure 37, supported on the base plate 21, can limit the displacement of the base plate 21 in the Z-axis direction to a certain extent. Furthermore, a receiving groove 371 for accommodating the base station body 22 is provided on the upper surface of the third enclosure 36 and the fourth enclosure 37. Thus, when the base station body 22 is placed in the receiving groove 371, the receiving groove 371 can not only limit the movement of the base station body 22 in the X-axis direction, but also further limit the movement of the base plate 21 in the Z-axis direction under the influence of the gravity of the base station body 22, thereby reducing the movement space of the base station 2 and achieving its protection. The receiving groove 371 of this disclosure can be constructed to have a shape adapted to the base station body 22, such as a contoured structure with a horizontal limiting portion, or a contoured structure with a vertical limiting portion, as long as the base station body 22 can be placed inside and its position limited.

[0073] In one embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 5 , Figure 7 The third enclosure 36 and the fourth enclosure 37 have an adapter groove 372 on the side facing the lawnmower 1, which is adapted to the shape of the lawnmower 1. The adapter groove 372 is constructed to fit with one end face of the lawnmower 1 in the forward direction. When the lawnmower 1 is placed in the space 32, the outer end face of the lawnmower 1 will pass through the adapter groove 372 and extend into the cavity of the base station body 22. The adapter groove 372 can limit the outer end face of the lawnmower 1, thereby achieving stable positioning of the lawnmower 1 in conjunction with the first buffer, which can further increase the range of movement of the lawnmower 1 in the Z-axis direction and reduce the possibility of damage caused by the lawnmower 1 moving after being subjected to external force during transportation.

[0074] In one embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 , Figure 6 The third enclosure 36 and the fourth enclosure 37 have notches on the side walls away from the lawnmower 1. These notches can effectively reduce the impact force on the packaging box 31, so as to protect the equipment located inside the packaging box 31.

[0075] In a specific embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 6The third enclosure 36 and the fourth enclosure 37 have a first stepped groove 373 extending through their top surfaces on the sidewalls facing the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35, respectively. The first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35 have a second stepped groove 342 extending through their top surfaces on the sidewalls facing the third enclosure 36 and the fourth enclosure 37, respectively. The opposite ends of the accessory box 4 are configured to be supported within the first stepped groove 373 and the second stepped groove 342. In actual use, the lawnmower 1 and the base station 2 come with up to twelve categories of accessories, totaling forty-four parts. If these are scattered during packaging and transportation, there is a risk of loss. Therefore, to avoid loss, they are integrated into an accessory box 4 for storage.

[0076] For example, in one specific embodiment of this disclosure, the lawnmower system includes a signal pole ( UWB The signal pole is detachably attached to the lawnmower 1 and is configured to extend in the vertical direction to transmit or receive wireless signals. During packaging, the signal pole can be removed from the lawnmower 1 and placed in the accessory box 4 for storage, preventing the signal pole from taking up too much packaging space and also preventing its loss.

[0077] refer to Figure 2 The accessory box 4 is placed in the gaps within the inner cavity of the packaging box 31 via the first step groove 373 and the second step groove 342. This reduces the volume of the packaging structure while also improving its overall aesthetics. Furthermore, the accessory box 4's placement on the first step groove 373 and the second step groove 342 facilitates user access and inspection, thus enhancing the consumer's unboxing experience to some extent.

[0078] Since the lawnmower 1 extends into the cavity of the base station body 22 at one end in its forward direction, the horizontal part 221 of the base station body 22 is higher than the upper surface of the lawnmower 1. In other words, there will be a certain space directly above the upper surface of the lawnmower 1. The first step groove 373 provided by the third enclosure 36 and the fourth enclosure 37, and the second step groove 342 provided by the first enclosure 34 and the second enclosure 35 can be used to place the accessory box 4 of a certain size.

[0079] In one embodiment of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 2 After the accessory box 4 is placed in the first step groove 373 and the second step groove 342, its height in the Z-axis direction can be exactly close to or approximately flush with the top of the base station body 22. This arrangement allows for a more compact packaging structure of the packaging box 31, thereby further reducing its size. It can also, to a certain extent, further limit the displacement of the lawnmower 1 in the Z-axis direction, reducing the possibility of collisions causing damage to the lawnmower 1.

[0080] In one specific embodiment of this disclosure, the outer dimensions of the packaging box 31 are 910*503*440mm. In practical use, refer to... Figure 1 Since the product needs to be transported in a container, the packaging structure needs to be planned based on the internal dimensions of a standard container and the external dimensions of the lawnmower 1 and base station 2. When the planned packaging box 31 is 910*503*440mm, it can perfectly accommodate the lawnmower 1 and base station 2. Furthermore, this size packaging structure is compatible with standard containers for transport, achieving a 97% utilization rate of container volume and optimizing logistics costs.

[0081] In another embodiment of this disclosure, the packaging box 31 is preferably made of EPP packaging material. This avoids the significant impact of environmental humidity on the physical properties of corrugated cardboard, which cannot recover after deformation under stress, thus reducing its cushioning performance. EPS material cannot be exported to the EU and has many disadvantages such as fragility, poor deformation recovery, difficulty in degradation, and toxicity upon combustion. EPP material is not only 100% recyclable but also meets the export standards of countries such as Europe, the United States, and Germany.

[0082] In a specific embodiment of this disclosure, the outer packaging box is made of AB corrugated board material, specifically a combination of 300g gray-white base + 110g + 120g + 130g + 140g + 230g (3A) material. Its bursting strength reaches 1800kPa, and its edge crush resistance is 9000N / m. The accessory packaging box 31 is made of E corrugated board material, specifically a combination of 230g (3A) + 120g + 230g (3A) material, with a bursting strength of 1500kPa and an edge crush resistance of 4000N / m. The top cardboard is made of AB corrugated board material, specifically 300g gray-white base + 110g + 120g + 130g + 140g + 230g (3A) material, with a bursting strength of 1800kPa and an edge crush resistance of 8000N / m.

[0083] In one embodiment of this disclosure, a packaging system is also provided, comprising a lawnmower system and the aforementioned packaging structure. The lawnmower system includes a lawnmower 1 and a base station 2, wherein the base station 2 includes a base plate 21 and a base station body 22 detachably connected to the base plate 21. (See reference...) Figure 2 and Figure 9 The base station body 22 has a cavity that can accommodate at least part of the lawnmower 1. After the base station body 22 is installed together with the base plate 21, the lawnmower 1 can cooperate with the cavity on the base station body 22, that is, the lawnmower 1 can be parked on the base station 2, so that the base station 2 can charge or self-clean the lawnmower 1. The function of the base station 2 can be designed according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0084] The packaging structure disclosed herein is used to package lawnmower 1 and base station 2, so that lawnmower 1 and base station 2 can be packaged and transported together. Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7 The packaging structure includes a packaging box 31 with an inner cavity and a cushioning assembly. The cushioning assembly and the lawnmower system are housed within the inner cavity of the packaging box 31. During packaging, the base plate 21 is independent of the base station body 22, and the base plate 21 is configured to be located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the packaging box 31. The base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1 are both located above the base plate 21, and the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1 are configured to be arranged along the length of the base plate 21.

[0085] A buffer assembly is used to cushion the lawnmower 1 and the base station 2. It includes a first buffer and a second buffer, which are arranged opposite each other along the length of the packaging box 31 and positioned above the base plate 21. That is, the base plate 21 is placed at the bottom of the packaging box 31, and the first and second buffers are located above the base plate 21, respectively arranged on opposite sides of the packaging box 31 along its length, so that the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1 can be confined within the space 32 enclosed by the first and second buffers. (Reference) Figure 6 , Figure 8 The first and second buffer components form a space 32 within the inner cavity of the packaging box 31, thereby confining the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1 between the first and second buffer components. This allows the first and second buffer components to position and cushion the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1. During actual transportation, the buffer components located inside the packaging box 31 can effectively reduce the impact of vibration on the lawnmower 1 and the base station 2 inside the packaging box 31, thus protecting the lawnmower 1 and the base station 2.

[0086] The packaging structure in the packaging system disclosed herein is consistent with that described in the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

[0087] Application Scenario 1

[0088] The packaging system disclosed herein, during actual installation, refers to... Figure 2 and Figure 3First, the base plate 21 needs to be placed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the packaging box 31. Then, the first barrier 34 and the second barrier 35 in the first buffer are placed at the two corners of the packaging box 31 away from the base station body 22. At this time, the lawnmower 1 is placed inside the receiving cavity, and the drive wheel 11 of the lawnmower 1 is placed in the drive wheel groove 341. Finally, the upper barrier 38 is placed above the first barrier 34 and the second barrier 35. At this time, the mating groove 381 at the bottom center of the upper barrier 38 clamps and fixes the lawnmower 1 in the mating groove 381, so as to restrict the movement direction of the lawnmower 1 in the Z-axis direction.

[0089] Next, the third and fourth barriers 36 and 37 from the second buffer are placed in the packaging box 31 at two corners adjacent to the base station body 22. At this time, the third and fourth barriers 36 and 37 are supported on the floor, and their upper surfaces are provided with receiving grooves 371 adapted to the base station body 22. The base station body 22 is placed in the receiving grooves 371, enabling movement of the base station body 22 in the Y-axis direction. Furthermore, the gravity of the base station body 22 at this time strengthens the restrictive effect of the third and fourth barriers 36 and 37 on the base plate 21 in the Z-axis direction.

[0090] Furthermore, when both the base station body 22 and the lawnmower 1 are placed in space 32, the cavities formed by the vertical and horizontal portions of the base station body 22 can at least partially encompass the structure of the lawnmower 1. This compact and rational layout fully utilizes the space within the packaging box 31, allowing the lawnmower 1 and base station 2 to be rationally positioned within space 32. While minimizing the space occupied by the packaging box 31, it also ensures that the packaging box 31 has good cushioning performance to protect the lawnmower 1 and base station 2.

[0091] It should be noted that the packaging structure disclosed herein can be applied not only to the above-mentioned packaging systems, but also to other packaging systems and equipment with transportation needs, such as equipment that needs to pass through customs clearance, etc., which will not be listed here.

[0092] The various embodiments of this disclosure have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, and are not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or technical improvements to the embodiments in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein. The scope of this disclosure is defined by the appended claims.
