Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of storage product manufacturing technology, specifically to a packaging tray that is compatible with various sizes of compressed storage hard disk modules. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of data storage technology, compressed storage hard disk modules, as an important component of high-performance storage solutions, have been widely classified into three categories based on their appearance design and size specifications: miniature compressed storage hard disk modules, standard-size compressed storage hard disk modules, and scalable compressed storage hard disk modules. These modules achieve high-speed data transmission through efficient board-to-board pin connections, meeting the needs of high-frequency transmission applications and indicating that they will become the core of next-generation mainstream storage technology.

[0003] For such precision storage modules, current packaging strategies in the market mainly fall into two categories: industrial packaging (referred to as OEM packaging) and retail packaging. Retail packaging, as a direct sales method to consumers, includes necessary protective packaging materials, detailed product instructions, warranty cards, and brand logos. Although its production process is relatively simple and its added value is low, transportation costs become the main expense for this type of packaging due to the large amount of space it occupies during transport. To effectively reduce these costs, the industry generally adopts high-density packaging technology, aiming to reduce the space occupied by individual products during transportation.

[0004] In contrast, OEM packaging focuses on the efficient integration and packaging of complex, high-value core components or finished products. While ensuring products are protected from potential damage such as vibration and drops, OEM design aims to maximize load capacity within standard packaging space. This strategy is not only a natural product of globalized production and distribution models, but also significantly reduces costs by adding retail packaging at the sales destination. It effectively reduces resource waste and energy consumption during transportation, thereby contributing to lower carbon emissions.

[0005] However, existing technologies have revealed several key flaws during implementation:

[0006] Compatibility issues and cost burden: Current packaging material designs are often tailored to specific hard drive module sizes, lacking universal compatibility with products of different specifications. This results in overly large packaging materials and custom-designed packaging, increasing not only procurement, warehousing, and packaging production costs but also management complexity.

[0007] The challenge of accurate counting: While pursuing high density, low cost, environmental friendliness, and special structural designs, traditional packaging often overlooks the importance of whole-unit packaging principles. This oversight increases the probability of errors in counting during goods inspection, posing a potential threat to logistics efficiency and accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0008] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a packaging pallet that is compatible with various sizes of compressed storage hard disk modules. It aims to solve the compatibility problem of hard disk modules of different sizes and optimize the counting process, so as to improve the accuracy and efficiency of logistics management while maintaining efficient packaging and cost control.

[0009] The technical means adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a packaging tray that is compatible with multiple sizes of compressed storage hard disk modules. The improvement is that the tray body is provided with protrusions connected by several connectors, and the two or more protrusions are spaced apart from each other by a certain distance; an installation groove for accommodating compressed storage hard disk modules is formed between four protrusions arranged in any opposite direction; and a notch for picking up and putting down the tray is provided on the side wall of the tray body.

[0010] The connector described in the above technical solution is an elastic connector, which gives the protrusion a certain elastic deformation capability when installing or removing the hard disk module.

[0011] The protruding part described in the above technical solution has an anti-slip texture or anti-slip coating on its surface to increase the friction between the hard disk module and the protruding part, and to prevent the hard disk module from sliding or shaking in the mounting slot.

[0012] The notch in the above technical solution is designed to be arc-shaped or chamfered.

[0013] The work bag pallet described in the above technical solution is made of 8mm-10mm thick polyethylene foam sheet, which is stacked and glued layer by layer after being stamped and cut. The overall thickness of the work bag pallet is designed based on a multiple of the thickness of the sheet used.

[0014] The polyethylene foam sheet described in the above technical solution undergoes antistatic treatment on its surface before bonding.

[0015] The outer frame width of the work package pallet described in the above technical solution is not less than 12mm, and the overall thickness is not less than 8mm.

[0016] The number of mounting slots on the tray described in the above technical solution is 8 in the horizontal layout and 15 in the vertical layout.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it innovatively achieves broad compatibility with modular products of different sizes, effectively reducing the complexity of procurement, the difficulty of warehousing management, and the risk of inventory backlog caused by differences in product specifications, bringing significant economic benefits to enterprise operations; the packaging unit is designed according to the principle of integers, which not only facilitates the rapid counting and verification of the quantity of goods, but also significantly improves the work efficiency of customs, quality inspection and other departments in the inspection process, and reduces time delays and cost increases caused by counting errors.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, existing compressed storage hard disk modules come in various sizes, among which... Figure 1 In the diagram, 'a' represents a miniature compressed storage hard disk module. Figure 1 In the middle, b represents a standard-sized compressed storage hard drive module. Figure 1 In the middle, c represents the extended compressed storage hard disk module. The width and thickness of the three types of compressed storage hard disk modules are similar, and the main difference is the height. The extended compressed storage hard disk module is the tallest (H3), followed by the standard size compressed storage hard disk module (H2), and the micro compressed storage hard disk module is the shortest (H1).

[0026] Based on this, this application provides a packaging tray compatible with various sizes of compressed storage hard disk modules, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the tray body includes a tray body with protrusions 2 connected by a plurality of connectors 1, the two or more protrusions 2 being spaced apart by a distance; an installation groove 3 for accommodating a compressed storage hard disk module is formed between four protrusions 2 arranged in opposite directions; and a notch 4 for picking up and placing the tray is provided on the side wall of the tray body.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the number of mounting slots on the tray is 8 in a horizontal arrangement and 15 in a vertical arrangement.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the work bag pallet is made of 8mm-10mm thick polyethylene foam sheets, which are stacked and bonded layer by layer after being stamped and cut. The overall thickness of the work bag pallet is designed based on a multiple of the thickness of the sheets used. Polyethylene foam is composed of countless independent air bubbles generated by the physical foaming of low-density polyethylene resin. It has many advantages such as water and moisture resistance, shock absorption, sound insulation, heat insulation, good plasticity, high toughness, recyclability, environmental friendliness, and strong impact resistance, and also has good chemical resistance.

[0029] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the work package pallet is made of three layers of 10mm thick polyethylene sheets bonded together. The top layer has a notch punched in for easy handling of module products, the second layer has a cutout for placing module products, and the bottom layer is a complete sheet, serving as the pallet bottom. Pallet A is suitable for miniature compressed storage hard drive modules (approximately 20.6mm high, with an outer height of approximately 30mm and an inner depth of approximately 20mm), and a single pallet can be stacked up to 10 layers high.

[0030] In another exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the work package pallet is made of three layers of 10mm thick polyethylene sheet bonded together with one layer of 8mm thick polyethylene sheet. The top layer has a notch punched in for easy handling of module products. The second and third layers have punched cutouts for placing module products. The bottom layer (the lowest layer) is a complete 8mm thick sheet, serving as the pallet bottom. Pallet B is suitable for standard-sized compressed storage hard drive modules (approximately 32mm high, with an outer height of approximately 38mm and an inner depth of approximately 30mm). A single pallet can be stacked up to 8 layers high.

[0031] In another exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the work package pallet uses pallet B as the bottom pallet, and pallet A is upside down ( Figure 5 It can be used for extended compressed storage hard drive modules. A single box can be stacked up to 4 layers, with three anti-static pearl cotton top covers placed on the top layer to fill the space.

[0032] Through the combination of the above embodiments, compressed storage hard disk modules of different sizes can be stored in a single standard outer box. Among them, the micro compressed storage hard disk module has 1200 (10 layers) per box, the standard size compressed storage hard disk module has 960 (8 layers) per box, and the extended compressed storage hard disk module has 480 (4 layers) per box. The layout follows the principle that the units digit of the total number is 0, which facilitates counting and calculation during statistics.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the connector 1 is an elastic connector, which allows the protrusion 2 to have a certain elastic deformation capability when installing or removing the hard drive module, thereby facilitating the quick installation and removal of the hard drive module while ensuring the stability of the hard drive module in the mounting slot.

[0034] Meanwhile, the elastic deformation capability of the connector 1 also allows for the containment of compressed storage hard disk modules wrapped in moisture-proof and anti-static bags, ensuring that they are not damaged during transportation.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the surface of the protrusion 2 is provided with an anti-slip texture or anti-slip coating to increase the friction between the hard disk module and the protrusion 2, prevent the hard disk module from sliding or shaking in the mounting slot, and improve storage security.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the notch 4 is designed as an arc or chamfer shape to reduce frictional resistance when the hand or tool is picking up or placing the tray, making operation easier while ensuring that the strength of the tray sidewall is not affected.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the surface of the polyethylene foam sheet is treated with an antistatic agent before bonding to reduce potential damage to the hard drive module caused by static electricity and improve data storage security.

[0038] Through the above embodiments, this utility model demonstrates significant multiple advantages when implemented in logistics scenarios such as freight containers and pallets:

[0039] Space utilization optimization: By comprehensively considering the specific application requirements of freight boxes and pallets, this utility model effectively reduces space waste in the packaging and transportation process, greatly improves logistics efficiency and resource utilization, and brings substantial cost savings to logistics companies.

[0040] Simplify counting and improve inspection efficiency: The packaging unit is designed according to the principle of whole numbers, which not only facilitates the rapid counting and verification of the quantity of goods, but also significantly improves the work efficiency of customs, quality inspection and other departments in the inspection process, and reduces time delays and cost increases caused by counting errors.

[0041] Enhanced compatibility of modular products and significantly reduced management costs: This utility model innovatively achieves broad compatibility with modular products of different sizes, effectively reducing the complexity of procurement, the difficulty of warehousing management, and the risk of inventory backlog caused by differences in product specifications. It is expected to reduce the overall cost of OEM packaging by more than 60%, bringing significant economic benefits to enterprise operations.

[0042] With broad applicability and promising application prospects, the core concept and technological innovation of this packaging method are not limited to current application scenarios. Its flexibility and scalability enable it to be widely applied to the packaging design and optimization of other types of products, providing more industries with efficient and economical packaging solutions, demonstrating strong market potential and social value.

[0043] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
