Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of printer accessories, and in particular to an ink cartridge packaging structure and a packaging method. Background Art

[0002] Ink cartridges are consumables for printers. When the ink in the ink cartridge is used up, a new ink cartridge must be replaced. Currently, most printers on the market come with more than one ink cartridge, and you can also buy ink cartridges separately.

[0003] Figure 1 A printer ink cartridge structure is shown, which includes a box body 1, the bottom wall of the box body 1 partially protrudes downward near the front edge to form a protruding portion 11, the lower surface of the protruding portion 11 is provided with an ink outlet hole, a wafer 12 is provided here, a chip 2 is attached to the front side wall of the box body 1, and the chip 2 is provided with a contact 21 for realizing function control, the two side walls of the box body 1 are provided with a first card block 13 arranged near the front edge for connecting with the printer, the top wall of the box body 1 is provided with a second card block 14 arranged near the front edge for connecting with the printer, the top wall edge of the box body 1 is provided with a convex edge 15 arranged along the circumference thereof, and the top wall of the box body 1 is also provided with a rubber plug 3 extending backward to the outside of the convex edge 15 to prevent ink evaporation.

[0004] When the ink cartridge is packaged, if it is directly packaged in an aluminum foil bag, the bottom wafer 12 may be easily broken due to bumps and other reasons during transportation. If the ink cartridge is packaged in a packaging box, it is not only inconvenient to operate, but also due to the concave-convex structure of the ink cartridge, the ink cartridge is still easy to shake after packaging, causing the contacts 21 on the chip 2 to be scratched and the bottom wafer 12 to be broken, thereby causing the ink cartridge to fail.

[0005] Therefore, further improvements are needed for the current packaging structure and packaging method of ink cartridges. Summary of the invention

[0006] The first technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an ink cartridge packaging structure that can effectively improve packaging stability in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0032] The packaging plate 100 is rectangular in shape, and is provided with a first fold 01 and a second fold 02 arranged in sequence from bottom to top along the length direction. The first portion 10 located below the first fold 01 is used to support the first side wall of the ink cartridge 1, and the second portion 20 located above the second fold 02 is used to support the front side wall of the ink cartridge 1 after being folded forward, and the third portion 30 located between the first fold 01 and the second fold 02 is respectively wrapped around the rear side wall, the first side wall, the top wall and the bottom wall of the ink cartridge 1 after being folded.

[0033] The third part 30 is provided with a first slit 301 extending along its length and arranged near the first side edge, and a second slit 302 arranged near the second side edge. A third fold 03 is provided between the first slit 301 and the second slit 302, which enables the third part 30 to be folded and wrapped around the rear side wall and the second side wall of the ink cartridge 1, respectively. The outer parts of the two slits are formed with side support structures a and b in an L shape supported outside the top wall and the bottom wall of the ink cartridge 1 through the folds. With the above structure, the two slits and the folds of different heights at the two slits are used to form structures that can clamp the entire ink cartridge 1, which is not only convenient for packaging, but also greatly improves the packaging stability of the ink cartridge 1.

[0034] The outside of the first slit 301 is provided with a fold 1 001 arranged near the upper end of the first slit 301, a fold 2 002 arranged near the lower end of the first slit 301, and a fold 3 003 arranged corresponding to the middle part of the first slit 301. The part of the third part 30 located outside the first slit 301 is folded through the fold 1 001, the fold 2 002, and the fold 3 003 to form an L-shaped structure corresponding to the bottom wall of the ink cartridge 1, and the protruding part of the bottom of the ink cartridge 1 is hidden in the cavity 1a of the L-shaped structure.

[0035] The outside of the second slit 302 is provided with a fold A004 arranged near the upper end of the second slit 302, a fold B005 arranged near the lower end of the second slit 302, and a fold C006 arranged corresponding to the middle part of the second slit 302. The part of the third part 30 located outside the second slit 302 is folded through the folds A004, B005, and C006 to form an L-shaped structure corresponding to the top wall of the ink cartridge 1. The rubber plug 3 and the second card block on the top wall of the ink cartridge 1 are respectively arranged corresponding to the side edges of the L-shaped structure.

[0036] Fold A 004 is located above fold 1 001, fold B 005 is located above fold 2 002, and fold C 006 is aligned transversely with fold 3 003. With such a structure, the L-shaped structures corresponding to the top wall and the bottom wall of the ink cartridge 1 are staggered by a certain distance, thereby expanding the clamping area and supporting force of the ink cartridge 1, and further improving the packaging stability of the ink cartridge 1.

[0037] The third part 30 is provided with a notch 303 extending inward from the lower part of the second slit 302. In the packaging state, the notch 303 forms a clearance opening 303' corresponding to the front side wall of the ink cartridge 1 and for the edge of the baffle to extend out. Such a structure is adopted to adapt to the corresponding structure of the ink cartridge 1, making the entire assembly structure more compact and reliable.

[0038] The upper edge of the second part 20 is provided with a convex card 201, and correspondingly, the lower edge of the first part 10 is provided with a socket 101 that can be plugged and limited with the convex card 201. This structure facilitates the use of an integrated packaging board 100 to complete fast and compact packaging.

[0039] like Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1 , after the ink cartridge 1 is packaged and placed vertically, a triangular stable support structure corresponding to the top and bottom of the ink cartridge 1 is formed. Figure 7 As shown, it is clamped in the middle, and both the upper and lower parts are stable triangular support structures; when placed horizontally, Figure 4 , 5 , 6, and are clamped in the middle; the wafer part and the contact part are always wrapped inside and will not rub against the packaging structure, which can better protect the wafer and the contact from being damaged.

[0040] The packaging method of the ink cartridge 1 of this embodiment comprises the following steps:

[0041] (1) Lay the packaging plate 100 flat on the operating table, first press the third fold 03 downward, and hook the second fold 002 and the fold B005 upward, so that the middle of the third part 30 forms a tendency to respectively wrap the front side wall and the second side wall of the ink cartridge 1, and the two sides of the third part 30 form a tendency to respectively clamp the top wall and the bottom wall of the ink cartridge 1, and the entire third part 30 forms a clamping groove for clamping the ink cartridge 1;

[0042] (2) clamping the ink cartridge 1 in the clamping groove in a side-lying manner, and pasting a tape between the first side wall of the ink cartridge 1 and the packaging plate 100 next to it;

[0043] (3) The first portion 10 and the second portion 20 of the packaging plate 100 are buckled together until the ink cartridge 1 is completely wrapped; finally, the first portion 10 and the second portion 20 are locked by plugging the convex clamp 201 into the socket 101;

[0044] (4) After the ink cartridge 1 is integrally packaged with the packaging plate 100, it is packaged in an aluminum foil bag by hot-melt sealing. This structure can further protect the ink cartridge 1.

[0045] After packaging, the first card block 13 on the first side wall of the ink cartridge 1 and the convex edge 15 on the same side are arranged corresponding to the first part 10, the second card block 14 on the second side wall of the ink cartridge 1 and the convex edge 15 on the same side correspond to the upper part of the third part 30, an inner side edge of the side support structure a corresponds to the inner edge of the protruding part 11 of the bottom wall of the ink cartridge 1, and an inner side edge of the side support structure b corresponds to the second card block 14 on the top wall of the ink cartridge 1, and the second card block 14 has a slope structure. When the contact is facing downward, the slope structure of the second card block 14 can cooperate with the inner side edge of the corresponding side support structure b to prevent the contact from being squeezed by the first part 10.

[0046] The present embodiment uses an integrated packaging plate 100 to package the ink cartridge 1. Before packaging, the ink cartridge 1 is placed between the first crease 01 and the second crease 02. As the packaging plate 100 is folded relative to the ink cartridge 1, the packaging of the ink cartridge 1 is completed while the packaging structure is folded. The whole process is easy to operate. After packaging, the ink cartridge 1 is suspended and clamped in the packaging structure on multiple sides, which has a better shockproof effect. The packaging is compact, which can prevent the contacts from being rubbed and the wafer from being collided, keep the contacts intact, and avoid wafer breakage, thereby greatly improving the packaging stability.
