[0038] The following describes a packaging structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0039] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the packaging structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is used for packaging an air conditioner indoor unit. The packaging structure 100 is a degradable part and includes a support assembly 1 and a buffer assembly 2.
[0040] Specifically, as shown in the attached Figure 2 drawing, the support assembly 1 includes a frame 11 and a first support member 12. The frame 11 is formed in a ring shape. The first support member 12 is disposed inside the frame 11 and is located at one end in the axial direction of the frame 11 (the first direction shown in the attached Figure 2 drawing). The first support member 12 and the frame 11 jointly define a first accommodation space 14. The buffer assembly 2 is disposed inside the first accommodation space 14. The frame 11 wraps the first support member 12 in the middle, which can increase the force-bearing area of the first support member 12 and improve the structural strength of the first support member 12 and the frame 11. The frame 11 and the first support member 12 can jointly support the buffer assembly 2.
[0041] And as Figure 2 shown, the buffer assembly 2 has a second accommodation space 24. One side of the second accommodation space 24 facing away from the first support member 12 is open. A part of the air conditioner indoor unit is disposed inside the second accommodation space 24. The setting of the buffer assembly 2 can wrap the air conditioner indoor unit in the middle, improve the buffering effect of the packaging structure 100 on the air conditioner indoor unit. The combined use of the support assembly 1 and the buffer assembly 2 can jointly support and protect the air conditioner indoor unit, reduce the damage such as collision and drop suffered by the air conditioner indoor unit, and ensure the safety of the air conditioner indoor unit during transportation.
[0042] It can be understood that the packaging structure 100 for packaging the air conditioner indoor unit is a degradable part. Compared with the EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam used in the existing packaging technology, the packaging structure 100 of the present utility model adopts a zero-plastic design, which can achieve the degradability and recyclability of the packaging structure 100 for packaging the air conditioner indoor unit, conform to the modern environmental protection trend, and meet the requirements of environmental protection packaging regulations.
[0043] It should be noted that the packaging structure 100 of the present utility model is a combined part, and the incoming materials are integrated components, which can be directly used for packaging the air conditioner indoor unit without on-site assembly, simplifying the packaging process of the air conditioner indoor unit, reducing the operation difficulty of packaging. Moreover, the packaging operation of the present utility model is not much different from the EPS packaging solution in the existing technology and will not affect the production efficiency of the production line.
[0044] According to the packaging structure 100 of the embodiment of the present utility model, by using the packaging structure 100 for packaging the air conditioner indoor unit as a degradable part, the degradability and recyclability of the packaging structure 100 can be achieved, conforming to the modern environmental protection trend and meeting the requirements of environmental protection packaging regulations. And the packaging structure 100 includes a support component 1 and a buffer component 2, which can jointly support and protect the air conditioner indoor unit, reduce the damage such as collision and drop suffered by the air conditioner indoor unit, and ensure the safety of the air conditioner indoor unit during transportation.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present utility model, refer to the attached Figure 3 As shown, the frame 11 includes a side plate 111 and a bottom plate 112. The side plate 111 is formed in a ring shape, the bottom plate 112 is located inside the side plate 111, and one end in the width direction of the bottom plate 112 is connected to one end in the axial direction of the side plate 111 (the first direction shown in the attached Figure 3 As shown). The first support member 12 is located on the side of the bottom plate 112 facing the open mouth of the first accommodation space 14 and is partially stacked and connected with the bottom plate 112. The side plate 111 surrounds the air conditioner indoor unit and can protect it from the circumferential direction of the air conditioner indoor unit. The bottom plate 112 and the first support member 12 are stacked at one end of the air conditioner indoor unit, which can enhance the overall buffer strength of the packaging structure 100 and protect it from one end of the air conditioner indoor unit. The side plate 111 and the bottom plate 112 jointly wrap the first support member 12 in the middle, increasing the stress area of the first support member 12, dispersing the stress, ensuring the structural strength of the packaging structure 100, improving the stability of the packaging structure 100, and further improving the protection effect of the packaging structure on the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0046] In a specific example, refer to the attached Figure 3As shown, the frame 11 is formed by bending a whole paper corner strip and fixed by box nails. It does not need to be spliced together by multiple sub-components, which can facilitate the production and processing of the frame 11 and simplify the assembly process of the packaging structure 100.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly 1 also includes a second support member 13, which is arranged on the side of the frame 11 away from the first support member 12 along the axial direction of the frame 11 (refer to the first direction shown in the accompanying drawing), and the second support member 13 extends along the circumferential direction of the frame 11 and is connected to the frame 11. The setting of the second support member 13 can lengthen the height of the frame 11 along the axial direction, thereby improving the supporting effect of the support assembly 1 for the buffer assembly 2 and the air-conditioning indoor unit, and the second support member 13 is arranged on the outside of the buffer assembly 2, which can enhance the protection of the buffer assembly 2 from the outside of the buffer assembly 2.
[0048] In a further embodiment of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the end of the buffer component 2 facing away from the first support member 12 is flush with the end of the second support member 13 facing away from the frame 11, which can ensure the supporting effect of the second support member 13 on the buffer component 2, thereby improving the supporting effect of the support component 1 on the buffer component 2 and ensuring the protective effect of the packaging structure 100 on the air-conditioning indoor unit.
[0049] In a further embodiment of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the frame 11 is a polygonal ring, and the second support member 13 includes a plurality of sub-support members 131, and the plurality of sub-support members 131 are respectively arranged at a plurality of corners of the frame 11, and each sub-support member 131 includes a first plate 132 and a second plate 133, and the first plate 132 and the second plate 133 respectively extend along the length directions of the two adjacent sides of the frame 11, and the first plate 132 and the second plate 133 are connected and angled with each other, and the first plate 132 and the second plate 133 can respectively strengthen the buffer assembly 2 from the two adjacent sides of the frame 11, so that the force-bearing area of the frame 11 and the buffer assembly 2 is increased, and can further buffer and protect the air-conditioning indoor unit, reduce the probability of the air-conditioning indoor unit being damaged during transportation, and ensure the safety of the air-conditioning indoor unit.
[0050] In a specific example, see the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the frame 11 is a four-sided ring, and the second support member 13 includes four sub-support members 131. The four sub-support members 131 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the frame 11, which can protect and strengthen the four corners of the frame 11.
[0051] In a further embodiment of the present utility model, the second support member 13 is a paper corner strip. The paper corner strip can protect the corners of the buffer assembly 2, enhance the structural strength of the packaging structure 100, improve the protection of the packaging structure 100 for the air conditioner indoor unit, and the paper corner strip can replace wood, reduce waste of resources, be 100% recyclable, and is a green and environmentally friendly packaging material, further meeting the environmental protection requirements of the packaging structure 100.
[0052] Furthermore, the second support member 13 is adhesively connected to the frame 11. The adhesive technology is a process of connecting two or more materials together through an adhesive or bonding material. Adhesively connecting the second support member 13 to the frame 11 can achieve uniform force distribution throughout the whole, avoid concentrated stress, and improve the connection strength between the second support member 13 and the frame 11; adhesion can simplify the manufacturing process of the packaging structure 100, reduce the production cost and production time of the packaging structure 100; through adhesion, materials can be used more effectively, improve the material utilization rate, and reduce waste; adhesion can connect the second support member 13 to the frame 11 without adding too much weight, contributing to the lightweight design of the packaging structure 100 and improving the performance and efficiency of the packaging structure 100.
[0053] Even further, the second support member 13 is adhesively connected to the buffer assembly 2. Adhesively connecting the second support member 13 to the buffer assembly 2 can achieve uniform force distribution throughout the whole, avoid concentrated stress, and improve the connection strength between the second support member 13 and the buffer assembly 2; adhesion can simplify the manufacturing process of the packaging structure 100, reduce the production cost and production time of the packaging structure 100; through adhesion, materials can be used more effectively, improve the material utilization rate, and reduce waste; adhesion can connect the second support member 13 to the buffer assembly 2 without adding too much weight, contributing to the lightweight design of the packaging structure 100 and improving the performance and efficiency of the packaging structure 100.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the frame 11 is a paper corner strip. The paper corner strip can protect the corners of the first support member 12, enhance the structural strength of the packaging structure 100, improve the protection of the packaging structure 100 for the air conditioner indoor unit, and the paper corner strip can replace wood, reduce waste of resources, be 100% recyclable, and is a green and environmentally friendly packaging material, further meeting the environmental protection requirements of the packaging structure 100.
[0055] Furthermore, the first support member 12 is a corrugated cardboard, which is a multi-layer adhesive body. It is composed of at least one layer of corrugated core paper sandwich (commonly known as "pit paper", "corrugated paper", "corrugated core paper", "corrugated paper core", "corrugated base paper") and one layer of cardboard (also known as "liner board", "box board"). It has high mechanical strength and can withstand collisions and drops during handling, which can ensure the protection effect of the packaging structure 100 on the air conditioner indoor unit and reduce the breakage rate of the air conditioner indoor unit during transportation. Optionally, single corrugated cardboard or double corrugated cardboard can be selected to meet different strength requirements.
[0056] It should be noted that the corrugated cardboard has vertical edge crush performance. In the case of moisture, the edge crush strength performance of the first support member 12 decreases, while the frame 11 can utilize the bending resistance characteristics of the corner protector to ensure the structural strength of the packaging structure 100.
[0057] Furthermore, the frame 11 and the first support member 12 are adhesively connected.

[0086] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the packaging component includes two packaging structures 100, and the two packaging structures 100 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the length direction of the air-conditioning indoor unit.

[0087] Furthermore, the packaging structure 100 includes: a support component 1 and a buffer component 2, the support component 1 includes a frame 11, a first support member 12 and a second support member 13, the frame 11 is a polygonal ring formed by bending a paper corner strip, the frame 11 includes a side panel 111 and a bottom panel 112, the side panel 111 is formed in a ring, the bottom panel 112 is located inside the side panel 111, one end of the bottom panel 112 in the width direction is connected to one end of the side panel 111 in the axial direction, the bottom panel 112 and the side panel 111 are perpendicular, the first support member 12 is a double corrugated cardboard and is located on the side of the open mouth of the bottom panel 112 facing the first accommodating space 14 and is partially stacked and adhesively connected with the bottom panel 112, the first support member 12 and the frame 11 jointly define the first accommodating space 14.

Each sub-support member 131 includes a first plate 132 and a second plate 133.

[0089] Furthermore, the buffer assembly 2 is arranged in the first accommodating space 14 and includes an outer frame 21, a buffer member 22 and an inner frame 23, and the second accommodating space 24 is defined by the outer frame 21, the buffer member 22 and the inner frame 23.

[0091] In addition, one end of the outer frame 21 and the inner frame 23 facing away from the first support member 12 is flush with one end of the second support member 13 facing away from the frame 11, which can ensure the supporting effect of the second support member 13 on the buffer assembly 2, so as to improve the supporting effect of the support assembly 1 on the buffer assembly 2 and ensure the protection effect of the packaging structure 100 on the air conditioner indoor unit.
