Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to a packaging device, and in particular, to a packaging device for transporting combined articles in logistics, such as a pair of windshield wipers that can be used on a vehicle. Background Art
[0002] E-commerce has flourished in recent years and has become an integral part of daily life. The variety of products available to end consumers online is also increasing. At the same time, with the growing economy and improved infrastructure, vehicle purchases and usage are climbing annually, and there remains significant room for future growth. Against this backdrop, market demand is growing for vehicle owners and / or users to purchase and replace consumable vehicle parts directly through online shopping platforms (rather than through professional repair personnel at parts stores, for example).
[0003] However, unlike professional vehicle maintenance and care workers, in general, the vehicle-related knowledge possessed by the end consumers of the vehicle (such as drivers) is more targeted at the specific model they use, and they know very little or nothing about other related but not identical models of vehicles. This may lead to an inadequate understanding of suitable accessories. For example, for accessories such as wipers, although a variety of wipers are used to clean the rain, snow and dust that obstruct the view of the front windshield of the vehicle, there may still be slight differences in details for different models. Although this difference is difficult for the end consumers themselves to distinguish, it may still cause problems such as poor or even mismatch between the wipers and the vehicle, which may further cause the wipers to be unusable or unexpectedly damaged during use, affecting the vehicle life and / or driving experience, and even leading to driving safety hazards. These are all things that are expected to be avoided.
[0004] Considering but not limited to the above situations, it is desirable to develop a new packaging device to solve or at least alleviate the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present application aims to provide a packaging device which is advantageous in at least one aspect over the prior art.
[0006] To this end, the present application provides, in one aspect, a packaging device for logistics transportation of combination items, characterized in that it includes: an outer shell having a top surface and a bottom surface positioned oppositely and a side surface located between the top surface and the bottom surface; and a partition structure, the partition structure is configured to divide the interior of the packaging device into multiple compartments for respectively accommodating each item in the combination item set, and the number of the partition structures is configured to correspond to the number of items that need to be accommodated in the combination item set, wherein the items are related in shape, structure, function and / or usage scenarios, and wherein the partition structure is configured to be formed as an integral structure with the side surface.
[0007] In a possible exemplary embodiment, the top surface is configured as a top cover structure that can be repeatedly opened and closed, thereby facilitating repeated removal and / or insertion of items in the packaging device without damaging the integrity of the packaging device.
[0008] In a possible exemplary embodiment, the top surface is configured to have a foldable feature, and the foldable feature is configured to be folded into the interior of the packaging device, thereby enabling the top surface to be repeatedly opened and closed.
[0009] In a possible exemplary embodiment, the bottom surface is configured as a fixed closed structure, thereby preventing the contained items from accidentally sliding out of the packaging device.
[0010] In a possible exemplary embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the side surface is any one of the following: rectangular, circular, elliptical, or a polygon with five or more sides.
[0011] In a possible exemplary embodiment, the partition structure is configured to separate the interior of the packaging device into a plurality of non-connected and completely independent areas to prevent mutual interference or misplacement of the items.
[0012] In a possible exemplary embodiment, the partition structure is configured to divide the packaging device into partially connected, relatively independent areas, so that the areas can be visually distinguished.
[0013] In a possible exemplary embodiment, a snap feature is provided on the side surface, and the snap feature is configured to cooperate with the partition structure to restrict corresponding articles contained in the packaging device in place.
[0014] In a feasible exemplary embodiment, the snap feature is formed as a press-type structure and is configured so that when the snap feature is pressed on the outside of the side of the packaging device, the press-type structure is squeezed into the internal space of the packaging device, thereby limiting the position of the items to be accommodated.
[0015] In a possible exemplary embodiment, the combined article includes a main wiper for a front windshield of a vehicle and an auxiliary wiper used in conjunction with the main wiper.

[0017] Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of a packaging device according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.
[0018] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of an expanded packaging device according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] Some possible embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the drawings are not drawn to scale. Some details may be enlarged for clarity, and some non-essential details may be omitted.
[0020] like Figure 1-2 FIG2 shows a perspective schematic diagram and an expanded schematic diagram of a packaging device 100 according to one embodiment of the present application. This packaging device 100 is adapted to accommodate a combination of items. The combination of items includes at least two associated items, for example, a first item and a second item. The at least two items may be associated in terms of shape, structure, function, and / or usage scenario.
[0021] In one embodiment, the at least two items may be a main wiper (as a first item) and a secondary wiper (as a second item) for a vehicle's front windshield. The main wiper is longer and suitable for installation on a side adjacent to a driver's seat; correspondingly, the secondary wiper is shorter and suitable for installation on a side adjacent to a passenger seat. The main wiper and the secondary wiper can be used in conjunction with each other.
[0022] The packaging device 100 includes a shell 101 that can accommodate a combination of items. The shape and / or size of the shell 101 is configured to adapt to the size of the combination of items. Additionally, the shape and / or size of the shell 101 is configured to facilitate logistics transportation and / or warehousing storage. In the case where the first item and the second item are the main wiper and the auxiliary wiper, respectively, the shape and / or size of the shell 101 can be configured to be (substantially slightly) larger than the shape and / or size of the main wiper. In this way, both the main wiper and the auxiliary wiper can be accommodated in the packaging device 100 without being bent and / or damaged. On the other hand, the shape complexity of the packaging device 100 can be reduced, which is convenient for manufacturing, assembly and / or use.
[0023] The housing 101 has a top surface 1011 and a bottom surface 1012 that are oppositely positioned, and a side surface 1013 located between the top surface 1011 and the bottom surface 1012 .
[0024] The top surface 1011 is configured as a top cover that can be repeatedly opened and closed. In this way, the user can conveniently remove the at least two items contained in the packaging device 100 from the top surface 1011. In the case where the at least two items are a main wiper and a corresponding auxiliary wiper, after the user receives the main and auxiliary wiper set they ordered through the packaging device 100, they can open the packaging device 100 from the top surface 1011 and then conveniently extract and / or pour out the main wiper and auxiliary wiper. The user can verify whether the main and auxiliary wipers they received meet their needs, such as whether the adapter is suitable for the vehicle to which it will be applied. In the case of purchasing the wrong model or the wrong delivery, the user may need to return the main and auxiliary wipers.
[0025] In this case, the user can replace the main and auxiliary wipers into the packaging device 100 through the top opening and close the top surface 1011 via the reusable cover, thus preserving the mechanical integrity of the packaging device 100. In this way, the packaging device 100 can be reused during the distribution and / or return process. This reduces resource waste, benefits the environment, and aligns with the future trend of a green economy.
[0026] For example, the top surface 1011 may be configured to have a foldable feature 1011 a . The foldable feature 1011 a is configured to be folded into the interior of the packaging device 100 , thereby enabling the top surface 1011 to be repeatedly opened and closed.
[0027] The bottom surface 1012 of the outer shell 101 is configured as a fixed, closed structure. That is, the manufacturer and / or seller can seal the bottom surface of the packaging device 100 before delivery. Even after delivery, the user cannot open the bottom surface without compromising its mechanical integrity. This prevents the contents from accidentally slipping out of the packaging device 100, potentially causing scratches or damage. For example, the bottom surface can be configured as a snap-on bottom structure.
[0028] The side 1013 of the housing 101 can be configured in any suitable shape. A commonly used shape is a rectangle (in cross section). This shape is the most versatile and facilitates transportation and storage. The side 1013 can also be a circle (in cross section). This arrangement maximizes capacity given a given side surface area. Another possible shape is a polygon (in cross section). This shape is particularly useful for modular items consisting of three or more related items.
[0029] The packaging device 100 also includes a partition structure 1014. The partition structure 1014 is configured to separate each of the combination items from each other. In this way, it is possible to load the items more conveniently. For example, the manufacturer and / or seller can separate the compartments inside the packaging device 100 according to the partition structure 1014 to accommodate the corresponding items respectively, so as to prevent misplacement or omission, thereby improving assembly efficiency. The partition structure 1014 can be configured to separate the interior of the packaging device 100 into a plurality of non-connected and completely independent areas. In this way, mutual interference or misplacement between the items can be completely prevented. Another possible situation is that the partition structure 1014 can separate the packaging device 100 into relatively independent areas that are connected to a certain extent, so that they can be visually distinguished (especially for end users). In this way, the material cost of the packaging device 100 can be reduced. Figure 2 As shown, the partition structure 1014 can be configured to form an integral structure with the side surface 1013 (or even with the top surface 1011 and the bottom surface 1012). In this way, the complexity of the manufacturing and / or assembly process can be reduced and time costs can be saved; in addition, during use, the positioning stability of the partition structure 1014 can be further enhanced to prevent the partition structure 1014 from detaching or even falling off.
[0030] The partition structure 1014 can be configured as at least one partition structure 1014. It is understood that the number of partition structures 1014 can be configured to any appropriate number, for example, determined according to the number of items to be accommodated (to form a modular item set).
[0031] In addition, in one possible case, one or more snap features 1013a can be arranged on the side 1013. The one or more snap features 1013a can be used in conjunction with the partition structure 1014 to restrict the corresponding items in place and prevent them from colliding with the packaging device 100 during movement (especially transportation), thereby causing unnecessary abnormal noise or even wear or damage to the items. The one or more snap features 1013a can be formed into a press-type structure (such as Figure 1 By pressing the outer side of the side surface 1013 of the packaging device 100, the pressing structure is squeezed into the inner space of the packaging device 100 relative to other parts of the side surface, thereby limiting the position of the items to be contained.
[0032] In the case of including multiple snap features 1013a, for example, Figure 1 The figure shows a case where two snap-fit features 1013a are arranged on both sides of the partition structure 1014. The corresponding snap-fit features 1013a can be selected (by pressing) according to the size (e.g., length) of the corresponding items in the areas on both sides of the partition structure 1014. In this way, for example, a set of wipers of two different lengths, longer (e.g., approximately 635 mm) and shorter (e.g., approximately 535 mm), but adapted for the same vehicle, can be positioned separately. In this way, each item can be individually positioned, thereby preventing unnecessary shaking. This reduces the risk of abnormal noise during transportation and even potential damage to mechanical integrity.
[0033] In addition, one or more snap features 1013a may also be provided with indicators (such as information markers such as text, characters, shapes and / or colors) to facilitate identification and / or verification of items in the packaging device 100 before delivery (for manufacturers and / or sellers) and after delivery (for users).
[0034] In one embodiment, after the items in the combined article set are placed inside the packaging device 100, instructions printed on a separate sheet of paper can be placed inside the packaging device 100 and adjacent to the top surface 1011. In this way, it is convenient for the end user to open the packaging device 100 from the top surface 1011 and conveniently access the instructions for the next step, without having to destroy the integrity of the packaging device 100 in order to remove the instructions.
[0035] Another possible situation is that pocket and / or other types of attachment structures (not shown) are provided on the inner side of top surface 1011, so that the instruction manual can be safely positioned in packaging device 100.
[0036] Another possible situation is to print the instructions directly on the inner side of the top surface 1011. In this way, the workload in the production and assembly stages can be reduced, and on the other hand, it is convenient for the end user to read after opening the package and prevent loss (which is more important in the case of needing to return the product).
[0037] The material constituting the packaging device 100 may be E-flute paper (E-flute corrugated cardboard). The gram weight of the E-flute paper may be selected and / or customized according to the specific characteristics of the object to be contained.
[0038] During the manufacturing stage, Figure 2 The expanded surface of the packaging device 100 according to one embodiment of the present application shown in the figure serves as a basic model, and is cut and tailored on a large E-shaped corrugated paper. This process can be performed directly using a digital machine tool. Each expanded surface is then folded and assembled to directly form a packaging device with a partition structure 1014, facilitating the transportation of packaged items. This method reduces the complexity of the production process, while improving the accuracy and efficiency of the production process. This is more convenient and efficient than traditional technologies.
[0039] During the logistics and distribution phase, the integrated design of the partition structure 1014 improves the robustness of separating the items in the package. Furthermore, it facilitates identification of the items by the end user (e.g., a vehicle user), making it easier for the end user to understand and use the items. If a return is necessary, the end user can easily return the items to their original location, reducing the risk of missed or incorrect shipments, facilitating goods management, and minimizing loss and damage during the logistics process.
