Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a buffer material, in particular to a buffer material capable of changing a containing space. Background Art

[0002] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a known buffer material. Figure 1 It can be seen that the conventional buffer material 100 is formed by cutting grooves 112 , 122 into a plurality of first partitions 110 and a plurality of second partitions 120 , and then the first partitions 110 and the second partitions 120 are fitted together using the grooves 112 , 122 and then installed in the packaging box 10 .

[0003] In addition, before the first partition 110 and the second partition 120 are placed into the packaging box 10, a flat third partition 130 needs to be placed in the packaging box 10 first. Therefore, the assembled first partition 110 and the second partition 120 subsequently placed in the packaging box 10 are placed based on the flat third partition 130 and will not be affected by the ups and downs caused by whether the folding plate at the bottom of the packaging box 10 is overlapped or not.

[0004] The first partition 110 and the second partition 120 assembled together and placed in the packaging box 10 separate a plurality of accommodation spaces S for placing articles.

[0005] However, in this method, the buffer material 100 requires more parts, at least a plurality of first partitions 110, a plurality of second partitions 120 and a third partition 130. In addition, due to the structural relationship between the first partition 110 and the second partition 120, the assembly process needs to first fit the first partition 110 and the second partition 120 one by one, so there are many assembly steps.

[0006] Furthermore, the size of the storage space S for placing articles is limited by the positions of the slots 112 , 122 on the partition. Summary of the invention

The multiple second card slots of the multiple second buffer members correspond to the multiple first card slots of the first buffer member, and the first buffer member and the multiple second buffer members can be selectively folded along at least one first folding line and at least one second folding line, respectively, so as to provide accommodating spaces of different sizes in the packaging box.

[0009] In the buffer material according to the embodiment of the present invention, the first body portion further has two pairs of first engaging holes, which are disposed adjacent to the two outermost first folding lines and adjacent to two opposite sides of the first body portion.

[0010] In the buffer material according to the embodiment of the present invention, the second body portion further has two pairs of second fitting holes, which are disposed adjacent to the two first folding lines on the outside and adjacent to the two opposite sides of the second body portion.

[0011] In the buffer material according to an embodiment of the present invention, the first buffer component bends the two first folding lines located in the middle inwardly with the two innermost first folding lines as the rotation center, and then bends the two outermost first folding lines located in the middle outwardly with the two first folding lines located in the middle as the rotation center, and the two first slot portions are bent toward the third direction with the two outermost first folding lines, while the second buffer component bends the two outer second folding lines inwardly with the two inner second folding lines as the rotation center, and the second slot portion of the second buffer component is correspondingly inserted into the first slot portion of the first buffer component.

[0049] Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Whenever possible, the same reference numerals are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.

[0050] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the decomposition of the buffer material. Please refer to Figure 2 , suitable for being placed in a packaging box 10 (shown in Figure 1 ) includes a first buffer member 210 and a plurality of second buffer members 220, wherein when the first buffer member 210 and the second buffer member 220 are flattened, a size of a first buffer member 210 is larger than a size of a second buffer member 220.

[0051] As described above, the first buffer member 210 has a first main body portion 212 and two first slot portions 214 .

[0052] The first body portion 212 has a plurality of first folding lines L1 , L2 , L3 , L4 , L5 , and L6 arranged in parallel in the first direction X and two first protruding ears 216 protruding outward from opposite side edges 212 a and 212 b of the first body portion 212 along the second direction Y.

[0053] The first card slot portion 214 is connected to the first main body portion 212 from the two outermost first folding lines L1 and L6 and is arranged in parallel on the other two opposite side edges 212c and 212d of the first main body portion 212 in the first direction X, wherein the first card slot portion 214 has a plurality of first card slots 214a arranged along the second direction Y, and the slot direction of the card slot 214a is parallel to the first direction X.

[0054] Each second buffer member 220 has a second main body portion 222 and two second slot portions 224 .

[0055] The second body portion 222 has a plurality of second folding lines L7 , L8 , L9 , L10 arranged in parallel in the first direction X and two second protruding ears 226 protruding outwards from two opposite sides 222 a , 222 b of the second body portion 222 along the second direction Y.

[0056] The second slot portions 224 are disposed on the other opposite sides 222c and 222d of the second main body portion 222 from the two second folding lines L7 and L10 on the outside, and each second slot portion 224 has a second slot 224a, and the slot direction of the slot 224a is parallel to the second direction Y.

[0057] The groove direction referred to here refers to the direction from the edge of the groove portion to the main body portion to form the groove. According to the folding method of the first buffer 210 and the second buffer 220, the buffer material 200 with different sizes can be folded, so that the buffer material 200 can be folded in the packaging box 10 (shown in FIG. Figure 1 ) provides different sizes of accommodation spaces S1 (shown in Figure 3B ), S2 (shown in Figure 4B ).

[0058] Specifically, the second card slots 224a of the second buffer member 220 are respectively correspondingly inserted into the first card slots 214a of the first buffer member 210, and the first buffer member 210 and the second buffer member 220 can be selectively folded along at least one of the first folding lines L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, and L6 and at least one of the second folding lines L7, L8, L9, and L10, so that the packaging box 10 provides accommodating spaces S1 and S2 of different sizes. This will be described in detail below.

[0059] Figure 3A is a schematic diagram of the first buffer member 210 and the second buffer member 220 after being folded. Figure 3B Schematic diagram of the first buffer member 210 and the second buffer member 220 being folded and assembled into the buffer material 200. Figure 2 , Figure 3A and Figure 3B When the buffer material 200 is to provide a larger accommodating space, the first slot portion 214 of the first buffer component 210 is bent from the two outermost first folding lines L1 and L6 toward the third direction Z so that the first slot portion 214 is vertical from the edge of the first main body portion 212, and then the second slot portion 224 of the second buffer component 220 is correspondingly inserted into the first slot portion 214 of the first buffer component 210.

[0060] At this time, since the first slot portion 214 of the first buffer component 210 is bent from the two outermost first folding lines L1 and L6 toward the third direction Z, each accommodating space S1 of the buffer material 200 formed after the second buffer component 220 and the first buffer component 210 are assembled together has a relatively large size and can accommodate larger items.

[0061] Figure 3C for Figure 3B Please also refer to Figure 3B and Figure 3C , the first lug 216 is folded toward the inner side of the first body portion 212 and the second lug 226 is folded toward the inner side of the second body portion 222 .

[0062] The purpose of bending the first lug 216 is that when an object is placed in the accommodation space S1 formed by assembling the first buffer 210 and the second buffer 220, a portion of the bent first lug 216 can be against the inner side of the packaging box 10, and thus a buffer space is formed between the box wall of the packaging box 10 and the outermost second buffer 220. When an external force hits the packaging box 10, the buffer space can prevent the external force from directly impacting the object placed in the accommodation space S1, thereby protecting the object.

[0063] The benefit of bending the second lug 226 is that after placing an object in the storage space S1 formed by assembling the first buffer 210 and the second buffer 220, the bent second lug 226 is located above and below the object, wherein the second lug 226 located above the object can achieve a preliminary restriction on the object to prevent the object from falling out of the storage spaces S1 and S2. In addition, when subjected to an impact force along the second direction Y, the second body portion 222 of the previous second buffer 220 contacts the second lug 226 of the next second buffer 220 to dissipate part of the impact force, thereby protecting the object.

[0064] Furthermore, if the object is subjected to an impact force along the third direction Z, the second lug 226 can also provide a preliminary buffering effect from above and below the object to protect the object.

[0065] Figure 4A It is a schematic diagram of the exploded view of the first buffer member 210 and the second buffer member 220 after the sizes of the first buffer member 210 and the second buffer member 220 are changed. Figure 4B for Figure 4A Schematic diagram of the assembly of the first buffer member 210 and the second buffer member 220. Figure 4C for Figure 4B Top view of the .

[0066] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4A and Figure 4B The first buffer 210 is rotated with the two innermost first folding lines L3 and L4 as the center of rotation to bend the two middle first folding lines L2 and L5 inward, and then the two outermost first folding lines L1 and L6 are rotated outward with the two middle first folding lines L3 and L4 as the center of rotation, and the first card slot portion 214 is bent toward the third direction Z with the two outermost first folding lines L1 and L6, so that the first card slot portion 214 is vertical to the first body portion 212. In this way, it can be seen that the overall size of the folded first buffer 210 becomes smaller.

[0067] Accordingly, the second buffer member 220 is folded inwardly along the two second folding lines L7 and L10 on the inner side with the two second folding lines L8 and L9 as the rotation center. Similarly, the overall size of the folded second buffer member 220 becomes smaller.

[0068] Next, the second engaging slot 224 a of the second engaging slot portion 224 is correspondingly engaged with the first engaging slot 214 a of the first engaging slot portion 214 .

[0069] The buffer material 200 ′ formed by assembling the first buffer component 210 and the second buffer component 220 of reduced size has a correspondingly smaller accommodation space S2 , and can therefore be used to transport smaller items.

[0070] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4A By the way, two pairs of first fitting holes 218 can be provided in the first main body 212, and the first fitting holes 218 are provided adjacent to the two outermost first folding lines L1 and L6 and adjacent to the two opposite side edges 212a and 212b. After the folding and reduced size of the first buffer 210, the structure becomes compact, and therefore it is easy to fail to maintain a compact structure due to the deformation recovery force of the material; however, by providing the first fitting holes 218, the end of the first lug 216 can be correspondingly embedded in the first fitting holes 218, thereby maintaining the compact structure of the first buffer 210 after folding.

[0071] Similarly, two pairs of second fitting holes 228 are provided in the second body portion 222, and the second fitting holes 228 are provided adjacent to the two second folding lines L7 and L10 on the outside and adjacent to the second lugs 226. Therefore, the second cushioning material 200 which is folded and reduced in size can maintain a compact structure by correspondingly fitting the ends of the second lugs 226 into the second fitting holes 228.

[0072] Figure 4B The buffer material 200' in the embodiment has a smaller overall size and a more compact structure, so the overall structural rigidity is also relatively Figure 3B The buffer material 200 is better and can achieve a better buffering effect.

[0073] In summary, the cushioning material of the preferred embodiment of the present invention has a variety of folding methods compared to the conventional cushioning materials, so the accommodating space can be flexible in response to the changes in the folding methods, so as to be applied to objects of different specifications and convenient to use.

[0074] In addition, for packaging boxes of the same size, compared with conventional buffer materials, the overall total area of ​​the first buffer material and the second buffer material of the buffer material of the embodiment of the present invention is not increased relative to the overall total area of ​​the first partition, the second partition and the third partition.

[0075] Furthermore, compared with the conventional buffer material, the buffer material of the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of saving materials and reducing assembly processes.
