[0010] An embodiment of the packaging assembly of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, identical or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their description will not be repeated. In this embodiment, the drawings show mutually orthogonal X-, Y-, and Z-axes. The Z-axis is parallel to the vertical direction, and the X- and Y-axes are parallel to the horizontal direction.

[0011] Reference Figures 1 to 2 , the packaging assembly 300 for packaging the electrical device AA will be described. Figure 1 It is a perspective view showing the packing unit 300 . Figure 2 is shown along Figure 1 The cross-sectional view of the packaging assembly 300 cut along the cutting line II is shown. Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the packing unit 300 includes a packing box 200 and an electrical device AA. The electrical device AA is an example of an “object.” The packing box 200 includes a storage member 100 and a cushioning member 210 .

[0012] Next, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The buffer member 210 will be described. Figure 3 2 is a perspective view showing the buffer component 210. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the buffer component 210 is received in the receiving component 100 .

[0013] The cushioning member 210 is disposed between the electrical device AA and the housing member 100. The cushioning member 210 is made of a thin plate of synthetic resin or a fiber molded product such as a pulp mold, and is formed by, for example, stamping.

[0014] The cushioning member 210 includes a fixing portion 211 and a flange portion 212. The fixing portion 211 fixes the electrical device AA. Specifically, the fixing portion 211 includes a recessed portion 211a. The recessed portion 211a is recessed downward. The shape of the recessed portion 211a corresponds to the shape of the electrical device AA. Specifically, the recessed portion 211a is located in the center of the fixing portion 211. A user installs or removes the electrical device AA in or from the recessed portion 211a.

[0015] The flange portion 212 protrudes outward from the lower end portion of the outer side of the fixing portion 211. Specifically, the flange portion 212 protrudes outward from the lower end portion of the outer side of the entire circumference of the flange portion 212. More specifically, the flange portion 212 is shaped like a square ring. The outer periphery of the flange portion 212 and the inner wall of the receiving component 100 are approximately the same size. As a result, the flange portion 212 can be in contact with the inner wall of the receiving component 100, preventing the buffer member 210 from moving within the receiving component 100.

[0016] Next, the storage member 100 will be described. The storage member 100 stores the electrical device AA. The storage member 100 is a box-shaped member. Specifically, the storage member 100 is made of corrugated cardboard or thick paper.

[0017] The receiving member 100 includes a cylindrical portion 10 . The cylindrical portion 10 extends along a first direction D1 . The first direction D1 is an example of a “horizontal direction.” The first direction D1 extends along the positive direction of the X-axis. The cylindrical portion 10 includes a first opening 20 and a second opening 30 .

[0018] The first opening 20 is disposed at one end of the cylindrical portion 10. The first opening 20 connects the inside of the cylindrical portion 10 with the outside of the cylindrical portion 10.

[0019] The second opening 30 is disposed at the other end of the cylindrical portion 10. The second opening 30 connects the inside of the cylindrical portion 10 with the outside of the cylindrical portion 10.

[0020] Next, refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the receiving component 100 is described in detail. Figure 4 1 is an expanded view of the receiving component 100. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the housing member 100 further includes a cover member 60 .

[0021] The cylindrical portion 10 further includes a top wall 11, a bottom wall 12, a first side wall 13, and a second side wall 14. The top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12 face each other in a vertical direction D3. The vertical direction D3 extends along the positive direction of the Z axis. Information about the electrical device AA, for example, is printed on the top wall 11.

[0022] The first side wall 13 is disposed between the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12. The second side wall 14 is disposed between the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12. The second side wall 14 is opposite to the first side wall 13.

[0023] The cover member 60 further includes an upper member 40 and a lower member 50 .

[0024] The upper member 40 is a plate-shaped member. Specifically, the upper member 40 includes an upper member base end portion 41, an upper member body portion 42, and an upper member front end portion 43. The upper member body portion 42 is disposed between the upper member base end portion 41 and the upper member front end portion 43.

[0025] Specifically, the upper member body 42 has a predetermined distance LA between the upper member base end 41 and the upper member front end 43. The predetermined distance LA is half the distance from the upper end to the lower end of the first opening 20. In other words, the predetermined distance LA is half the distance from the top wall 11 to the bottom wall 12.

[0026] The upper member front end portion 43 has two convex portions. Specifically, the upper member front end portion 43 includes a first convex portion 43a and a second convex portion 43b. A predetermined distance is provided between the first convex portion 43a and the second convex portion 43b in the Y direction.

[0027] The upper member base end 41 is connected to the upper end of the first opening 20. Specifically, the upper member base end 41 is connected to one end of the top wall 11. The upper member 40 rotates about the upper member base end 41 as an axis of rotation. Specifically, the upper member 40 can be switched between an open state and a closed state.

[0028] The lower member 50 is a plate-shaped member. Specifically, the lower member 50 includes a lower member base end 51, a lower member body 52, and a lower member front end 53. The lower member body 52 is disposed between the lower member base end 51 and the lower member front end 53.

[0029] The lower member body 52 has a predetermined distance LA between the lower member base end 51 and the lower member tip 53. The predetermined distance LA is half the distance from the upper end to the lower end of the first opening 20. In other words, the predetermined distance LA is half the distance from the top wall 11 to the bottom wall 12.

[0030] The lower member front end portion 53 has three protrusions. Specifically, it includes a third protrusion 53a, a fourth protrusion 53b, and a fifth protrusion 53c. A predetermined gap exists between the third protrusion 53a and the fourth protrusion 53b in the Y direction. A predetermined gap exists between the fourth protrusion 53b and the fifth protrusion 53c in the Y direction.

[0031] The lower member base end 51 is connected to the lower end of the first opening 20. Specifically, the upper member base end 41 is connected to one end of the bottom wall 12. The lower member 50 rotates about the lower member base end 51 as an axis of rotation. Specifically, the lower member 50 can be switched between an open state and a closed state.

[0032] The upper member front end portion 43 engages with the lower member front end portion 53. Specifically, the upper member front end portion 43 and the lower member front end portion 53 engage at the center of the first opening portion 20. In other words, the first opening portion 20 is closed by the cover member 60. Specifically, the first protrusion 43a is inserted between the fourth protrusion 53b and the fifth protrusion 53c, and the second protrusion 43b is inserted between the third protrusion 53a and the fourth protrusion 53b. In other words, the upper member front end portion 43 and the lower member front end portion 53 overlap in the X direction and fit into and cover the first opening portion 20, without any piece protruding toward the interior (X direction) of the cylindrical portion 10.

[0033] As described above, according to the packing box 200, the upper member front end portion 43 and the lower member front end portion 53 are not located at the peripheral edge of the first opening 20. This prevents interference between the upper member front end portion 43 and the lower member front end portion 53 and the flange portion 212. As a result, after the first opening 20 is closed by the lid member 60, when the cushioning member 210 is inserted through the second opening 30, the upper member front end portion 43 and the lower member front end portion 53 are not pushed out by the flange portion 212, and the first opening 20 can be maintained closed by the lid member 60. Therefore, the packing box 200 can easily accommodate the electrical device AA.

[0034] Furthermore, the upper member front end portion 43 and the lower member front end portion 53 engage with each other at the center of the first opening 20. In other words, the upper member front end portion 43 and the lower member front end portion 53 are not disposed at the lower end portion of the first opening 20. As a result, interference between the upper member front end portion 43 and the lower member front end portion 53 and the flange portion 212 can be further suppressed.

[0035] Furthermore, the lower member body 52 has a predetermined distance LA between the lower member base end 51 and the lower member tip 53. In other words, the upper member front end 43 and the lower member front end 53 are not positioned below the first opening 20. As a result, interference between the upper member front end 43 and the lower member front end 53 and the flange 212 can be further suppressed.

[0036] More specifically, the receiving member 100 further includes a first side member 70 and a second side member 80 .

[0037] The first side member 70 is a plate-shaped member. Specifically, the first side member 70 includes a first side member base end portion 71 and a first side member front end portion 73. The upper side member base end portion 41 is connected to one end portion of the first side wall 13.

[0038] The first side member 70 rotates about its base end portion 71 as an axis of rotation. Specifically, the first side member 70 is switched between an open state and a closed state. Specifically, the first side member 70 is positioned further inward of the tubular portion 10 than the upper member 40 and the lower member 50.

[0039] A recess 73a is formed at the lower end of the first side member front end portion 73. The recess 73a corresponds to the flange portion 212. As a result, interference between the first side member front end portion 73 and the flange portion 212 can be suppressed. Thus, the first side member front end portion 73 is not pushed out by the flange portion 212.

[0040] The second side member 80 is a plate-shaped member. Specifically, the second side member 80 includes a second side member base end 81 and a second side member front end 83. The second side member base 81 is connected to one end of the second side wall 14.

[0041] The second side member 80 rotates about its base end 81 as an axis of rotation. Specifically, the second side member 80 is switched between an open state and a closed state. Specifically, the second side member 80 is positioned further inward of the tubular portion 10 than the upper member 40 and the lower member 50.

[0042] A recess 83a is formed at the lower end of the second side member front end portion 83. The recess 83a corresponds to the flange portion 212. As a result, interference between the second side member front end portion 83 and the flange portion 212 can be suppressed. Thus, the second side member front end portion 83 is not pushed out by the flange portion 212.

[0043] As described above, according to the packing box 200, the flange portion 212 is arranged within the recessed portion 73a and the recessed portion 83a. As a result, interference between the first side member 70, the second side member 80, and the flange portion 212 can be suppressed. Thus, after the first opening 20 is closed by the lid member 60, when the cushioning member 210 is inserted through the second opening 30, the first side member front end portion 73 and the second side member front end portion 83 are not pushed out by the flange portion 212, and the lid member 60 can maintain the state in which the first opening 20 is closed.

[0044] More specifically, the storage member 100 further includes a second opening-side cover member 160 . The second opening-side cover member 160 further includes a second opening-side upper member 140 and a second opening-side lower member 150 .

[0045] The second opening-side upper member 140 is a plate-shaped member. Specifically, the second opening-side upper member 140 includes an upper member base 141, an upper member body 142, and an upper member front end 143. The upper member body 142 is disposed between the upper member base 141 and the upper member front end 143.

[0046] The upper member body 142 has a set distance LB between the upper member base end 141 and the upper member front end 143. The set distance LB is the same as the distance from the top wall 11 to the bottom wall 12.

[0047] The upper component base end portion 141 is connected to the upper end portion of the second opening portion 30. Specifically, the upper component base end portion 141 is connected to the other end portion of the top wall 11. The upper component main body portion 142 rotates with the upper component base end portion 141 as the rotation axis. In addition, the upper component front end portion 143 rotates with the upper component main body portion 142 as the rotation axis. Specifically, the second opening side upper component 140 switches to either an open state or a closed state. When the second opening side upper component 140 is in the closed state, the upper component front end portion 143 is inserted into the interior of the cylindrical portion 10. In addition, the upper component front end portion 143 is arranged below the flange portion 212.

[0048] The second opening-side lower member 150 is a plate-shaped member. Specifically, the second opening-side lower member 150 includes a lower member base 151 and a lower member body 152. The lower member body 152 has a set distance LB between the lower member base 151 and the front end. The set distance LB is the same as the distance from the top wall 11 to the bottom wall 12.

[0049] The lower member base end 151 is connected to the lower end of the second opening 30. Specifically, the lower member base end 151 is connected to the other end of the bottom wall 12. The lower member body 152 rotates about the lower member base end 151 as an axis of rotation. Specifically, the second opening-side lower member 150 can be switched between an open state and a closed state.

[0050] An opening 152a is formed in the lower member body 152. The opening 152a corresponds to the upper member front end 143. As a result, when the second opening-side lower member 150 is closed and the second opening-side upper member 140 is closed, the upper member front end 143 is inserted into the opening 152a.

[0051] The second opening-side upper member 140 is coupled to the second opening-side lower member 150. In other words, the second opening 30 is closed by the second opening-side cover member 160. Specifically, the upper member front end portion 143 is inserted into the opening 152a.

[0052] More specifically, the receiving member 100 further includes a second opening-side first side member 170 and a second opening-side second side member 180 .

[0053] The second-opening-side first side member 170 is a plate-shaped member. It is connected to the other end of the first side wall 13. The second-opening-side first side member 170 rotates. Specifically, the second-opening-side first side member 170 switches between an open state and a closed state. Specifically, the second-opening-side first side member 170 is positioned further inward of the tubular portion 10 than the second-opening-side upper member 140 and the second-opening-side lower member 150.

[0054] A recess 170a is formed at the lower end of the second-opening-side first-side member 170. Recess 170a corresponds to flange 212. This prevents interference between the second-opening-side first-side member 170 and flange 212. This reduces the risk of interference between the second-opening-side first-side member 170 and flange 212, preventing the door from switching to the closed state.

[0055] Furthermore, the second-opening-side second side member 180 is a plate-shaped member. The second-opening-side second side member 180 is connected to the other end of the second side wall 14. The second-opening-side second side member 180 rotates. Specifically, the second-opening-side second side member 180 is switched between an open state and a closed state. Specifically, the second-opening-side second side member 180 is positioned further inward of the tubular portion 10 than the second-opening-side upper member 140 and the second-opening-side lower member 150.

[0056] A recess 180a is formed at the lower end of the second-opening-side second side member 180. Recess 180a corresponds to flange 212. This prevents interference between the second-opening-side second side member 180 and flange 212. This reduces the risk of interference between the second-opening-side second side member 180 and flange 212, preventing the door from switching to the closed state.

[0057] As described above, according to packing box 200, flange portion 212 is disposed within recessed portion 170a and recessed portion 180a. As a result, interference between second-opening-side first side member 170, second-opening-side second side member 180, and flange portion 212 can be suppressed. Thus, after cushioning member 210 is inserted through second opening 30, second opening 30 can be easily covered with second-opening-side cover member 160.

[0058] Next, refer to Figure 5 , a packaging method of the electrical device AA using the packing box 200 will be described. Figure 5 1 is a cross-sectional view of a packing assembly according to this embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the packing method is performed by, for example, a packing device and an operator.

[0059] First, the packing device rotates the first side member 70 about the first side member base end 71 as the rotation axis, closing the first side member 70. Furthermore, the packing device rotates the second side member 80 about the second side member base end 81 as the rotation axis, closing the second side member 80.

[0060] Next, the packing device rotates the upper member 40 using the upper member base end 41 as the rotation axis, placing the upper member 40 in the closed position. Separately, the packing device rotates the lower member 50 using the lower member base end 51 as the rotation axis, placing the lower member 50 in the closed position. Specifically, the first protrusion 43a is inserted between the fourth protrusion 53b and the fifth protrusion 53c, and the second protrusion 43b is inserted between the third protrusion 53a and the fourth protrusion 53b. The first opening 20 is sealed by the lid member 60.

[0061] On the other hand, the packing device inserts the electrical device AA into the recess 211a of the buffer member 210. Next, the buffer member 210 containing the electrical device AA is inserted from the second opening 30. At this time, interference between the upper member front end 43, the lower member front end 53, and the flange 212 can be suppressed. In addition, interference between the first side member 70, the second side member 80, and the flange 212 can be suppressed. As a result, the structural elements of the cover member 60 are not pushed out by the flange 212, and the state in which the first opening 20 is closed by the cover member 60 can be maintained. In addition, since the flange 212 is unlikely to hit the structural elements of the cover member 60, the buffer member 210 can be smoothly inserted into the receiving member 100, thereby improving workability.

[0062] Next, the operator rotates the second opening side first side member 170 to close the second opening side first side member 170. The operator also rotates the second opening side second side member 180 to close the second opening side second side member 180.

[0063] Next, while visually confirming the position of the flange 212, the operator rotates the second opening-side lower member 150 using the lower member base end 151 as the rotation axis, closing the second opening-side lower member 150. Next, while visually confirming the position of the flange 212, the operator rotates the second opening-side upper member 140 using the upper member base end 141 as the rotation axis, closing the second opening-side upper member 140. Specifically, the upper member front end 143 is inserted into the opening 152a. Furthermore, the upper member front end 143 is positioned below the flange 212. The upper member front end 143 is supported between the flange 212 and the inner wall of the container 100, making it difficult to dislodge and reinforcing the strength of the packing box 200.

[0064] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings.
