[0035] Figure 1 is a plan view showing a tray according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , the pallet 10 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may include a base body 100 and a film member 200 .

[0037] According to an embodiment, the tray 10 may include a base body 100 having a bottom surface and an inner side surface, the bottom surface and the inner side surface defining an internal space for accommodating a member to be included in the electronic device. The base body 100 may include a support member protruding from the inner side surface to support the member to be included in the electronic device and a guide member protruding from the bottom surface. The guide member may protrude vertically relative to the extension direction of the bottom surface and be disposed adjacent to at least some of the plurality of support members.

[0038] The base body 100 may be configured to have a bottom surface and an inner side surface, and the bottom surface and the inner side surface have a flat plate shape capable of providing a flat surface to safely accommodate the components to be included in the electronic device. In addition, the shape and size of the bottom surface and the inner side surface defining the internal space of the base body 100 may be changed differently to be suitable according to the components to be included in the electronic device to be accommodated inside the base body 100. The components to be included in the electronic device are components included in the display device, and may include, for example, a display panel or a semi-finished product (such as an open cell or a printed circuit board (PCB)) in which a module process as an assembly process is omitted, etc.

[0039] The base body 100 may be formed of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin. In the base body 100, the bottom surface and the inner side surface may be integrally formed using the ABS resin, and a support member may be formed to support the outer portion of the member to be included in the electronic device accommodated in the internal space. The ABS resin may be composed of three components, namely, acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. The ABS resin has excellent impact resistance, so that when the member to be included in the electronic device is transported, the member to be included in the electronic device can be prevented from being damaged due to external impact.

[0040] Moreover, the base body 100 can be formed by vacuum injection molding. The support member and the guide member of the base body 100 can be formed by being squeezed at the inner side surface and the bottom surface in the process of vacuum injection molding and then removing unnecessary parts. In this way, the base body 100 can be integrally molded by the vacuum injection molding process of ABS resin. Therefore, since the base body 100 has no seams, the generation of dust or the infiltration of foreign matter can be reduced. In addition, since even complex shapes can be easily manufactured, large-scale production can be carried out at low cost.

[0041] According to an embodiment, the tray 10 may include a film member 200, the film member 200 including a film body covering the upper surface of the member to be included in the electronic device and a protruding portion protruding from the film body. The film member 200 has a form of a high-strength film or a soft film, and when the member to be included in the electronic device is transported, the member to be included in the electronic device can be prevented from being damaged due to external impact.

[0042] The film body of the film member 200 may have a single shape having a predetermined width and a predetermined length according to the internal space of the tray 10. Also, the film body of the film member 200 may include an adhesive at one surface of the film body. When the film body is attached to the upper surface of a member to be included in an electronic device, the film body of the film member 200 may be stably fixed by the adhesive.

[0043] The protruding portion of the film member 200 may protrude horizontally relative to the extension direction of the film body. Moreover, the protruding portions of the film member 200 may be formed to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in a direction intersecting the extension direction of the film body. Moreover, the plurality of protruding portions of the film member 200 may respectively include guide holes overlapping with a plurality of guide members. For example, when a member included in an electronic device is accommodated in the tray 10, a plurality of guide members of the base body 100 may be respectively coupled to the guide holes formed in the plurality of protruding portions of the film member 200. In addition to the adhesive included in the film member 200, this may additionally limit the movement of the film member 200.

[0044] The tray 100 according to the present embodiment provides an indirect guide structure in which the tray 100 does not directly collide with components to be included in the electronic device, so that damage (such as cracks) caused by external shocks and vibrations during transportation can be prevented. In particular, when application of a direct guide structure (such as a large-area printed circuit board (PCB)) is impossible, the indirect guide structure is also required.

[0045] Figure 2 It is shown Figure 1 A perspective view of the base body of the tray is shown in FIG.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 , tray 10 (refer to Figure 1 ) may include a base body 100 including a bottom surface 101, inner side surfaces 102 to 105, support members 111 to 114 and 121 to 124 protruding in a horizontal direction from the inner side surfaces 102 to 105, and guide members 131 to 138 provided in a vertical direction from the bottom surface 101.

[0047] The base body 100 may define an inner space for accommodating components to be included in the electronic device. The base body 100 may include a bottom surface 101 defined by a first direction DR1 and a second direction DR2. The bottom surface 101 may have a flat plate shape, components included in the electronic device are mounted on the bottom surface 101, and a partial area of ​​the bottom surface 101 may be formed to be concave downward. Figure 3 The concave shape of the bottom surface 101 is described in detail.

[0048] The base body 100 may include inner side surfaces 102 and 105 perpendicular to the extension direction of the bottom surface 101. According to an embodiment, the base body 100 may include a first inner side surface 102 and a second inner side surface 104 located at one side of the bottom surface 101 in the second direction DR2 and at the other side of the bottom surface 101 in the opposite direction of the second direction DR2, respectively, and a third inner side surface 103 and a fourth inner side surface 105 located at one side of the bottom surface 101 in the first direction DR1 and at the other side of the bottom surface 101 in the opposite direction of the first direction DR1, respectively. In addition, the first inner side surface 102, the second inner side surface 104, the third inner side surface 103, and the fourth inner side surface 105 may be vertically formed from the bottom surface 101 in the third direction DR3. Therefore, the first inner side surface 102 and the second inner side surface 104 may be parallel to each other, and the third inner side surface 103 and the fourth inner side surface 105 may be parallel to each other. In addition, since a quadrilateral closed loop is formed by the first inner surface 102, the second inner surface 104, the third inner surface 103 and the fourth inner surface 105, the base body 100 can have an internal space in which a member to be included in the electronic device is accommodated. However, the inner surfaces 102 to 105 can be formed differently according to the shape of the member to be included in the electronic device.

[0049] The base body 100 may include support members 111 to 114 and 121 to 124 protruding in a horizontal direction from the inner side surfaces 102 to 105. The support members 111 to 114 and 121 to 124 may include first support members 121 to 124 formed to protrude from the inner side surfaces 103 and 105 in the opposite direction of the first direction DR1 and in the first direction DR1, and second support members 111 to 114 formed to protrude from the inner side surfaces 102 and 104 in the opposite direction of the second direction DR2 and in the second direction DR2.

[0050] The first support members 121 to 124 and the second support members 111 to 114 may respectively have a support surface facing the side surface of the member to be included in the electronic device. In addition, each of the first support members 121 to 124 may be disposed between two protruding portions adjacent thereto. The second support members 111 to 114 may be respectively referred to as the first sub-support member 111, the second sub-support member 112, the third sub-support member 113, and the fourth sub-support member 114. The first support members 121 to 124 may be respectively referred to as the fifth sub-support member 121, the sixth sub-support member 122, the seventh sub-support member 123, and the eighth sub-support member 124.

[0051] According to an embodiment, the base body 100 may include a first sub-support member 111 and a second sub-support member 112 protruding from the first inner side surface 102 in the opposite direction of the second direction DR2, and a third sub-support member 113 and a fourth sub-support member 114 protruding from the second inner side surface 104 in the second direction DR2. Moreover, the base body 100 may include a fifth sub-support member 121 and a sixth sub-support member 122 protruding from the third inner side surface 103 in the opposite direction of the first direction DR1, and a seventh sub-support member 123 and an eighth sub-support member 124 protruding from the fourth inner side surface 105 in the first direction DR1.

[0052] The support members 111 to 114 and 121 to 124 may be formed while protruding from all of the inner side surfaces 102 to 105 to surround members to be included in the electronic device. Figure 2 , the support members protruding from the same inner side surface can be arranged to be spaced apart from each other. Moreover, the support members 111 to 114 and 121 to 124 can support the member to be included in the electronic device at the side surface of the member to be included in the electronic device, and the contact portions can be spaced apart from each other by a certain distance to form a gap. In this way, the base body 100 can mainly absorb external impacts by means of the inner side surfaces 102 to 105, and the support members 111 to 114 and 121 to 124 can also be protected and supported by the inner side surfaces 102 to 105. Therefore, in terms of stability and durability, a more superior structure can be provided.

[0053] The base body 100 may include guide members 131 to 138 disposed adjacent to at least some of the support members 111 to 114 and 121 to 124. The guide members 131 to 138 may be disposed at the outside of the internal space in which the members to be included in the electronic device are installed. The guide members 131 to 138 may be formed to protrude from the bottom surface 101 in the third direction DR3.

[0054] The guide members 131 to 138 may have a cylindrical shape. The coupling force of the guide members 131 to 138 may be controlled according to the diameter of the guide members 131 to 138. For example, when the diameter of the guide members 131 to 138 becomes larger, the base body 100 and the film member 200 (refer to Figure 1 However, the shape of the guide members 131 to 138 is not limited to the cylindrical shape, as long as the shape of the guide members 131 to 138 is coupled to the guide hole formed in the film member 200 (for example, refer to Figure 4 The shape of the guide holes 231 to 238) can be used.

[0055] In addition, in a structure in which multiple trays 10 are stacked, the height of the guide members 131 to 138 can preferably be formed to be lower than or equal to the height of the supporting members 111 to 114 and 121 to 124 to prevent the corresponding tray from interfering with another tray arranged at the upper end.

[0056] According to an embodiment, the base body 100 may include guide members 131 to 138 protruding from the bottom surface 101 in the third direction DR3 at points spaced inwardly from the third inner side surface 103 and the fourth inner side surface 105 by a certain distance. The guide members 131 to 138 may be respectively referred to as a first sub-guide member 131, a second sub-guide member 132, a third sub-guide member 133, a fourth sub-guide member 134, a fifth sub-guide member 135, a sixth sub-guide member 136, a seventh sub-guide member 137, and an eighth sub-guide member 138. The base body 100 may include the first sub-guide member 131 and the fifth sub-guide member 135 disposed adjacent to the fifth sub-support member 121 protruding from the third inner side surface 103 in the opposite direction of the first direction DR1. The first sub-guide member 131 may be disposed at one side in the opposite direction of the second direction DR2 from the fifth sub-support member 121. In addition, the fifth sub-guide member 135 may be disposed at one side of the fifth sub-support member 121 in the second direction DR2 to be symmetrical with the first sub-guide member 131 .

[0057] The base body 100 may include a second sub-guide member 132 and a sixth sub-guide member 136 disposed adjacent to the sixth sub-support member 122 protruding from the third inner side surface 103 in the opposite direction of the first direction DR1. The second sub-guide member 132 may be disposed at one side in the opposite direction of the second direction DR2 from the sixth sub-support member 122. In addition, the sixth guide member 136 may be disposed at one side in the second direction DR2 from the sixth sub-support member 122 to be symmetrical with the second sub-guide member 132.

[0058] Moreover, the base body 100 may further include a third sub-guide member 133 and a seventh sub-guide member 137 disposed adjacent to the seventh sub-support member 123 protruding from the fourth inner side surface 105 in the first direction DR1. The third sub-guide member 133 may be disposed at one side in the opposite direction of the second direction DR2 from the seventh sub-support member 123. In addition, the seventh sub-guide member 137 may be disposed at one side in the second direction from the seventh sub-support member 123 to be symmetrical with the third sub-guide member 133.

[0059] The base body 100 may include a fourth sub-guide member 134 and an eighth sub-guide member 138 disposed adjacent to the eighth sub-support member 124 protruding from the fourth inner side surface 105 in the first direction DR1. The fourth sub-guide member 134 may be disposed at one side in the opposite direction of the second direction DR2 from the eighth sub-support member 124. In addition, the eighth sub-guide member 138 may be disposed at one side in the second direction DR2 from the eighth sub-support member 124 to be symmetrical with the fourth sub-guide member 134.

[0060] The base body 100 allows the film member to be fixed in the inner space by the guide members 131 to 138, so that the member included in the electronic device can be prevented from colliding with the inner side surfaces 102 to 105 of the tray 10. In addition, the base body 100 can strengthen the support of the force acting on the upper surface of the film member in the vertical direction by the guide members 131 to 138.

[0061] Figure 3 It is along Figure 2 A cross-sectional view taken along line II' shown in FIG.

[0062] Reference Figure 3 Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in the base body 100 of the tray 10, a local area of ​​the bottom surface 101 may be formed to be concave downward. That is, the base body 100 may include a lower groove 106 in a local area of ​​the bottom surface 101. The lower groove 106 may be formed in a quadrilateral shape or a semicircular shape, etc., in the internal space in which the component MD to be included in the electronic device is accommodated. However, the lower groove 106 may be formed in the internal space along the circumferential shape of the component MD to be included in the electronic device, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In this way, in the base body 100 of the tray 10, the lower groove 106 is formed at the bottom surface 101, so that the area in which the component MD to be included in the electronic device and the bottom surface 101 contact each other can be reduced. This can reduce the external shock and vibration acting vertically that are transmitted to the component MD to be included in the electronic device.

[0063] In addition, although for ease of description Figures 1 to 3One tray 10 is mainly shown, but the present disclosure can be used in a structure in which a plurality of trays 10 are stacked. For example, in a tray configured as two stages, a lower groove 106 can be formed at the bottom surface 101 of a second-stage tray disposed at the upper end. The lower groove 106 of the second-stage tray can support the upper surface of a component MD to be included in an electronic device installed in a first-stage tray disposed at the lower end. In this way, in a structure in which a plurality of trays 10 are stacked, the lower groove 106 is formed at the bottom surface 101, so that the movement of the component MD to be included in the electronic device disposed at the lower end in the vertical direction can be restricted. This can prevent the component MD to be included in the electronic device from being damaged due to an external impact acting vertically in the structure in which a plurality of trays 10 are stacked.

[0064] Figure 4 It is shown Figure 1 A plan view of the membrane member of the tray is shown.

[0065] Reference Figure 4 , tray 10 (refer to Figure 1 ) may include a film body 210 covering an upper surface of a member to be included in an electronic device, and protruding portions 221 to 228 protruding from the film body 210.

The lower surface of the film body 210 may include an adhesive for adhering to the upper surface of the member to be included in the electronic device, but the adhesive may not be included in the protruding portions 221 to 228. The adhesive may be provided only in a partial region of the film body 210 within a limit that adhesion can be maintained.

[0067] The film body 210 may have a first width W1 in the first direction DR1, and a second width W2 in the second direction DR2 intersecting the first direction DR1. The film body 210 may be formed to cover an area of ​​the entire upper surface of a member to be included in the electronic device. Therefore, the film body 210 may adhere to and support the entire upper surface.

[0068] The film member 200 may include protruding portions 221 to 228 protruding in the first direction DR1 and the opposite direction of the first direction DR1 at both ends of the film body 210. Some of the protruding portions 221 to 228 may be disposed to be spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance at the respective ends of the film body 210. Figure 4As shown in , when the first width W1 of the film body 210 is wider than the second width W2 of the film body 210 , the protruding portions 221 to 228 may be formed to protrude at relatively short sides (ends) of the film body 210 .

[0069] According to an embodiment, the film member 200 may include protruding portions 221 to 224 formed to protrude at one end of the film body 210 extending in the first direction DR1 and protruding portions 225 to 228 formed to protrude at one end of the film body 210 extending in a direction opposite to the first direction DR1.

[0070] In addition, guide holes 231 to 238 overlapping with the guide members 131 to 138 may be formed in the protruding portions 221 to 228, respectively. According to the guide members 131 to 138 having a cylindrical shape, the guide holes 231 to 238 may be formed in a circular shape, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0075] In this way, the protruding portions 221 to 228 of the film member 200 can be coupled to the guide members 131 to 138 of the base body 100 through the guide holes 231 to 238. The protruding portions 221 to 228 of the film member 200 can be used as a handle for removing the film member 200 attached to protect the upper surface when releasing the product. At the same time, when the pallet 10 is transported, the movement of the components included in the electronic device in the horizontal direction can be further restricted.

[0076] Figure 5 It is shown Figure 1 A plan view of area A is shown in FIG.

[0077] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4 , a gap may be formed between the base body 100 and the film member 200 in the tray 10 .

[0078] According to an embodiment, the film body 210 of the film member 200 may form a first gap 141 with a supporting surface of each of the first supporting members 121 to 124. In addition, each of the guide holes 231 to 238 formed in the protruding portions 221 to 228 of the film member 200 may form a second gap 142 with each of the guide members 131 to 138 of the base body 100, the guide members 131 to 138 being coupled to the guide holes 231 to 238 at the inner sides of the guide holes 231 to 238. The width of the second gap 142 may be narrower than the width of the first gap 141.

[0079] like Figure 5 As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the film body 210 of the film member 200 may form a first gap 141 with a supporting surface of the fifth sub-support member 121 protruding from the third inner side surface 103 of the base body 100. In addition, the second sub-guide hole 232 formed in the second protruding portion 222 of the film member 200 may be coupled to the first sub-guide member 131 to form a second gap 142 at an inner portion of the second sub-guide hole 232. In particular, in addition to the first direction DR1, the first sub-guide member 131 and the second sub-guide hole 232 may also limit movement in the second direction DR2.

[0080] When the pallet 10 is transported, an external impact applied to the pallet 10 is not directly transmitted to the components to be included in the electronic device, but can be reduced due to the first gap 141 and the second gap 142. For example, the first gap 141 can be set in a range of about 0.5 mm to about 1 mm to protect the components to be included in the electronic device from the external impact applied to the pallet 10. In addition, the second gap 142 can be set to about 0.15 mm to further limit the movement of the components to be included in the electronic device in the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2.

[0081] In this way, the tray 10 can limit movement using the second gaps 142 formed between the guide holes 231 to 238 formed in the protruding portions 221 to 228 of the film member 200 and the guide members 131 to 138 of the base body 100. In addition, when the protruding portions 221 to 228 of the film member 200 are damaged, the tray 10 can limit movement using the first gaps 141 formed between the film body 210 of the film member 200 and the supporting members 121 to 124 of the base body 100.

[0082] Figure 6 is a plan view showing a tray according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0083] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the tray 20 may include a base body 300 and a film member 400. Figure 1 Compared with the membrane member 200 shown in FIG. Figure 6 The film member 400 shown in FIG. 4 may further include an extension portion. Figure 1 The parts shown in the figure are repeated in the description of the parts.

[0084] Reference Figure 6 , the guide member of the base body 300 may be formed to protrude from the bottom surface of the base body 300 in a third direction DR3 intersecting the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2. The guide member of the base body 300 may include a first guide member coupled to the protruding portion of the film member 400 and a second guide member coupled to the extending portion of the film member 400. A plurality of first guide members may be disposed to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in the second direction DR2, and a plurality of second guide members may be disposed to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in the first direction DR1.

[0085] According to an embodiment, the tray 20 may include a film member 400 including a film body covering the upper surface of the member to be included in the electronic device, a protruding portion protruding from the film body, and an extending portion extending from the film body. The film member 400 has a form of a high-strength film or a soft film, and when the member to be included in the electronic device is transported, the member to be included in the electronic device can be prevented from being damaged due to external impact.

[0086] The protruding portion of the film member 400 may protrude horizontally relative to the first direction DR1 which is the extension direction of the film body and the opposite direction of the first direction DR1. On the other hand, the extending portion of the film member 400 may extend horizontally in the opposite direction of the second direction DR2 which intersects the extension direction of the film body. Moreover, unlike the protruding portion, the extending portion has a single shape and may extend parallel to the film body. Figure 6 In the figure, it is shown that one side where the extension portion extends is the opposite direction of the second direction DR2. However, the one side where the extension portion extends may also be the second direction DR2.

[0087] The plurality of protrusions of the film member 400 may be formed to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in a second direction DR2 intersecting the extension direction of the film body. In addition, the extension portion of the film member 400 may extend in a single shape in a first direction DR1 as the extension direction of the film body.

[0088] The plurality of protruding portions of the film member 400 may include first guide holes overlapping with the plurality of first guide members, respectively. The extended portion of the film member 400 may include a second guide hole overlapping with the second guide member. The plurality of second guide holes may be formed to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in the first direction DR1 as the extension direction of the film body. For example, when the components included in the electronic device are accommodated inside the tray 20, the plurality of guide members of the base body 300 may be coupled not only to the plurality of protruding portions of the film member 400, respectively, but also to the plurality of guide holes formed in the extended portion. Therefore, the film member 400 may further limit the movement of the components included in the electronic device in the horizontal direction.
