[0032] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0033] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0034] The following detailed description of the portable air conditioner packaging structure is provided through specific embodiments:

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 9 As shown in the figure, some embodiments of the present invention provide a portable air conditioner packaging structure, including a first packaging component 1 and a second packaging component 2 arranged at intervals.

[0036] The first package 1 has a first slot 11 on its bottom wall, and the second package 2 has a second slot 21 on its top wall. The openings of the first slot 11 and the second slot 21 are opposite each other and are used to engage with the top and bottom of the portable air conditioner body 5, respectively. That is, the opening of the first slot 11 is located on the side of the first package 1 facing the second package 2, and the opening of the second slot 21 is located on the side of the second package 2 facing the first package 1, so that the body 5 can be confined within the gap between the first package 1 and the second package 2.

[0037] Specifically, a third slot 12 is provided on the bottom wall of the first package 1, away from the first slot 11, and a fourth slot 22 is provided on the top wall of the second package 2, away from the second slot 21. The openings of the third slot 12 and the fourth slot 22 are opposite each other and are used to engage with both ends of the portable air conditioner sealing plate. That is, the opening of the third slot 12 is located on the side of the first package 1 facing the second package 2, that is, the opening of the third slot 12 faces the same direction as the opening of the first slot 11, and the opening of the fourth slot 22 is located on the side of the second package 2 facing the first package 1, that is, the opening of the fourth slot 22 faces the same direction as the opening of the second slot 21. The sealing plate can be confined between the first package 1 and the second package 2.

[0038] In practice, the top of the portable air conditioner body 5 can be inserted into the first slot 11 on the bottom wall of the first packaging component 1, and the bottom of the body 5 can be inserted into the second slot 21 on the top wall of the second packaging component 2. Thus, the body 5 is limited and protected by the first packaging component 1 and the second packaging component 2. At the same time, one end of the accessory sealing plate of the portable air conditioner can be inserted into the third slot 12 on the bottom wall of the first packaging component 1, and the other end of the sealing plate can be inserted into the fourth slot 22 on the top wall of the second packaging component 2. That is to say, the sealing plate can also be limited and protected by the first packaging component 1 and the second packaging component 2 to prevent the sealing plate from shaking or shifting during transportation. There is no need to add an extra packaging structure for the sealing plate, which can avoid the overall volume of the packaging structure being too large, reduce the space occupation rate, and ensure transportation efficiency.

[0039] The first package 1 and the second package 2 can be made of foam, providing good protection.

[0040] In some embodiments, the third slot 12 is provided with a first positioning protrusion 121, and a first limiting space is formed between the sidewall of the third slot 12 and the first positioning protrusion 121; the fourth slot 22 is provided with a second positioning protrusion 221, and a second limiting space is formed between the sidewall of the fourth slot 22 and the second positioning protrusion 221; both ends of the sealing plate are respectively inserted into the first limiting space and the second limiting space. In specific implementation, the shapes of the first limiting space and the second limiting space are adapted to the shapes of the two ends of the sealing plate, so that the sealing plate can be limited by the first limiting space and the second limiting space.

[0041] Furthermore, the side of the first positioning protrusion 121 facing the side wall of the third slot 12 and the side of the second positioning protrusion 221 facing the side wall of the fourth slot 22 are both inclined guide surfaces to guide the two ends of the sealing plate to engage with the first limiting space and the second limiting space, respectively.

[0042] In practice, the third slot 12 is formed outside the first slot 11 of the first packaging component 1, and the fourth slot 22 is formed outside the second slot 21 of the second packaging component 2. It is understood that both the first packaging component 1 (outside the first slot 11) and the second packaging component 2 (outside the second slot 21) have a certain thickness to protect the body 5 of the portable air conditioner. The third slot 12 and the fourth slot 22 are formed in these corresponding locations, which makes reasonable use of space, improves space utilization, and does not increase the overall volume of the packaging structure.

[0043] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the sidewall of the third slot 12 extends to the sidewall of the first package 1, forming an opening on the sidewall of the first package 1. The first positioning protrusion 121 and the other sidewalls of the third slot 12 together form a first limiting space. The sidewall of the fourth slot 22 extends to the sidewall of the second package 2, also forming an opening on the sidewall of the second package 2. The second positioning protrusion 221 and the other sidewalls of the fourth slot 22 together form a second limiting space. The first positioning protrusion 121 and the second positioning protrusion 221 can limit the sealing plate, preventing it from coming out of the side opening. With this configuration, there is no need to add a limiting edge on the outermost side. The sealing plate can be limited by the first positioning protrusion 121 and the second positioning protrusion 221, which can reduce the overall volume of the packaging structure, reduce space occupancy while ensuring the protective effect, and ensure transportation efficiency.

[0044] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, at least one receiving groove 13 is also provided on the top wall of the first packaging component 1, and the opening of the receiving groove 13 is opposite to the opening of the first slot 11. That is, the opening of the receiving groove 13 faces away from the side of the second packaging component 2. When the first packaging component 1 is engaged with the body 5, the opening of the receiving groove 13 faces upward, which can accommodate and support some of the accessories of the portable air conditioner, making it convenient for storage.

[0045] In practice, there are multiple receiving slots 13, which are used to accommodate various accessories such as sealing plate joints, sponges, or instruction manuals.

[0046] The plurality of receiving slots 13 include at least two duct slots 131. The projections of the two duct slots 131 and the first slot 11 on the top wall of the first package 1 do not overlap, that is, the two duct slots 131 and the first slot 11 are staggered. With this arrangement, the duct slots 131 can have a longer length to accommodate longer ducts, and the duct slots 131 avoid overlapping with the first slot 11, thereby improving the space utilization of the first package 1.

[0047] It should be noted that the projection of other receiving slots 13 used to accommodate sealing plate joints, sponges, or instruction manuals on the top wall of the first package 1 can overlap with the first slot 11, so as to make full use of the portion of the first package 1 other than the first slot 11 and improve space utilization.

[0048] Reference Figure 4 As shown, a clearance groove 132 is provided between each pair of adjacent receiving slots 13. The clearance groove 132 connects the two adjacent receiving slots 13, that is, each pair of adjacent receiving slots 13 can be connected through the clearance groove 132, so that fingers can be inserted into the clearance groove 132 to retrieve accessories (such as air ducts) in different receiving slots 13.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first packaging component 1 is further provided with a cable routing groove 14, which communicates with one of the receiving grooves 13. Specifically, the wires connected to the body 5 can be accommodated in one of the receiving grooves 13 through the cable routing groove 14, thereby realizing the storage of the wires. At the same time, the wires are placed in the cable routing groove 14 and will not protrude from the surface of the packaging structure, which facilitates packing.

[0050] In specific implementation, the cable tray 14 includes a first tray segment 141 and a second tray segment 142. The first tray segment 141 is located on the top wall of the first package 1 and communicates with one of the receiving slots 13. The second tray segment 142 is located on the side wall of the first package 1, and its two ends are flush with the top wall and bottom wall of the first package 1, respectively. With this configuration, the wires connected to the body 5 can pass through the second tray segment 142 and the first tray segment 141 in sequence into one of the receiving slots 13 on the top wall of the first package 1, thereby completing the storage of the wires and their plugs. The wires are confined, which can prevent them from shaking during transportation.

[0051] It should be noted that even when the duct is stored in the duct groove 131, the wires can also be accommodated inside the duct, thus achieving storage.

[0052] In some embodiments, at least one of the first package 1 and the second package 2 is provided with a ventilation hole 3, which can reduce the difficulty caused by air entrapment during packing. Specifically, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the ventilation hole 3 can be set on the bottom wall of one of the air duct grooves 131 so that the gap between the first package 1 and the second package 2 can be connected to the outside air through the air duct groove 131. Even when the air duct is stored in the air duct groove 131, the ventilation hole 3 will not be blocked, which can reduce the assembly difficulty.

[0053] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 9As shown, the portable air conditioner packaging structure of this application also includes paper corner protectors 6. A fifth slot 15 is provided on the first packaging component 1, avoiding the first slot 11 and the third slot 12. A sixth slot 23 is provided on the second packaging component 2, avoiding the second slot 21 and the fourth slot 22. The slots of the fifth slot 15 and the sixth slot 23 are opposite each other and are respectively used to engage with the two ends of the paper corner protectors 6.

[0054] It is understandable that when the two ends of the paper corner protector 6 are engaged with the first package 1 and the second package 2 respectively, the connection between the first package 1 and the second package 2 can be achieved, thereby enabling drop testing and preventing breakage of the components during the drop test.

[0055] Specifically, during packing, after the packaging structure passes the drop test, the paper corner protectors 6 are placed together in the outer packaging box, which can further enhance the strength of the packaging structure and improve its protective performance. Of course, the paper corner protectors 6 can also be left unpacked, as the packaging structure still has sufficient structural strength to protect the body 5.

[0056] In practice, the first card slot 11, the third card slot 12, the fifth card slot 15 and the receiving slot 13 can be integrally formed during the production of the first packaging component 1, and the first card slot 11, the third card slot 12 and the fifth card slot 15 can be integrally formed during the production of the second packaging component 2, which has high versatility and adaptability.

[0057] In some embodiments, the portable air conditioner packaging structure further includes a plurality of corner protectors 4, which are located at the apex corners of the first package 1 and the second package 2, away from each other. It is understood that after the packaging structure is packed, the corner protectors 4 at the apex corners can correspondingly abut against the inner apex corners of the outer packaging box to further improve protective performance.

[0058] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0059] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to these embodiments, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
