Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts packaging technology, and in particular relates to a grille for packaging boxes of automotive air conditioning pipe assemblies. Background Technology
[0002] As one of the core components of a car, the quality and transportation safety of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly directly affect the vehicle's performance and the user experience. The pipe body of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly is usually made of a combination of various materials such as aluminum pipe and plastic pipe. In addition to the pipe body, the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly also houses various electrical components mounted on the pipe body.
[0003] Therefore, packaging technology for automotive air conditioning pipe assemblies largely relies on cardboard boxes for protection. While these packaging materials provide some cushioning, they offer little protection for the air conditioning pipe assemblies inside the boxes. Their limitations become apparent during long journeys or inclement road conditions. During transport, collisions between air conditioning pipe assemblies are unavoidable due to vehicle bumps and sudden braking. This means that the assemblies inside the boxes are also prone to impacts, potentially causing scratches and dents on the surface, and even irreversible damage to electrical components. This can ultimately lead to the malfunction of the entire air conditioning system, causing significant inconvenience and financial losses for users. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problems existing in the prior art by providing a grille for packaging boxes of automotive air conditioning pipe assemblies. Improvements are made to the interior of the box to allow for more stable placement of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly, thereby effectively enhancing the protection of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model employs the following technical solution: a grille for packaging a car air conditioning pipe assembly, comprising multiple long plates and multiple short plates respectively fastened to the multiple long plates. After the long plates and short plates are fastened together, multiple independent cavities are formed. Several transition grooves are provided on one side of each long plate, and multiple pipe-holding grooves are provided on one side of each short plate. A reinforcing member is provided at the "cross" intersection of the long plates and short plates. The reinforcing member includes a mounting plate and multiple reinforcing clamping plates disposed on one side of the mounting plate. The multiple reinforcing clamping plates are fastened at the "cross" intersection of the long plates and short plates.
[0006] Through the above technical solution, the pipe body of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly is secured by the first and second pipe clamping grooves. Then, the electrical components of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly are placed in the cavity formed by the long and short plates. This effectively and stably places multiple automotive air conditioning pipe assemblies within the grille without them contacting each other. At the same time, the clamping joints of the long and short plates are reinforced by the reinforcement components, thereby effectively improving the overall grille's resistance to deformation and further enhancing the protection of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly.
[0007] Optionally, the upper end of the long plate and the lower end of the short plate are provided with matching slots to allow the long plate and the short plate to be interlocked.
[0008] Optionally, both the long and short boards are made of corrugated cardboard to minimize costs.
[0009] Optionally, the reinforcing plate includes an integrally formed transverse portion and a longitudinal portion, with the included angle between the transverse portion and the longitudinal portion being 90°. A first gap, equal in width, is left between the longitudinal portions of two adjacent reinforcing plates. A second gap, also equal in width, is left between the transverse portions of two adjacent reinforcing plates. The two first gaps and two second gaps together form a cross gap, which is adapted to the intersection of the long and short plates. By using the cross gap to clamp the intersection of the long and short plates, the longitudinal and transverse portions come into contact with the long or short plate, creating a clamping effect and preventing deformation after clamping.
[0010] Optionally, reinforcing ribs are provided at the inside corners of the transverse and longitudinal sections. The cross-section of each reinforcing rib is a right-angled triangle, and its two right-angled faces are connected to the transverse and longitudinal sections respectively. The length of the reinforcing rib is equal to the length of the reinforced plate. By providing reinforcing ribs, the included angle between the longitudinal and transverse sections of the reinforced plate is less prone to deformation, thus improving the plate's resistance.
[0011] Optionally, the reinforcement component further includes an outer inclined plate disposed on the side of the reinforcing plate away from the mounting plate. The outer inclined plate includes an integrally formed first inclined plate and a second inclined plate. The first inclined plate is connected to the bottom of the longitudinal portion, and the second inclined plate is connected to the bottom of the transverse portion. The angle between the first inclined plate and the longitudinal portion and the angle α between the second inclined plate and the transverse portion are both between 130° and 170°. This design can increase the opening of the four inclined plates, thereby making it easier to insert the reinforcement component into the engagement point between the long plate and the first short plate or the second short plate, and improving assembly efficiency.
[0012] Optionally, both sides of the reinforced plate are provided with extension plates, which are arc-shaped plates. The extension plates increase the contact area with the long plate, the first short plate, or the second short plate, thereby enabling the snap-fit joint to have enhanced resistance to deformation.
[0013] Optionally, the inner side of the tube clamping groove is provided with a corresponding reinforcing clip, the inner side of the reinforcing clip is provided with an inner liner, and the outer side of the reinforcing clip is provided with a wrapping groove to wrap around the wall of the tube clamping groove. The reinforcing clip strengthens the tube clamping groove, making the groove wall less prone to damage, and also improves the limiting effect on the pipe body in the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By opening a first tube-clamping groove and a second tube-clamping groove on one side of the long plate, the first short plate, and the second short plate that make up the grille, the pipe body in the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly is clamped in place. Then, the electrical components in the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly are placed through the cavity formed by the long plate and the short plate. This effectively and stably places multiple automotive air conditioning pipe assemblies in the grille without them contacting each other, thus improving the protection effect of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly; 2. By using reinforcement components to strengthen and reinforce the clamping points after the long plate, the first short plate, and the second short plate are clamped together to form the grille, the deformation of the grille can be effectively prevented, further improving the protection effect of the grille. The protective effect of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly; 3. By setting the reinforcing ribs, the included angle between the longitudinal and transverse parts of the reinforcing plate is not easily deformed, thus improving the resistance of the reinforcing plate; 4. By setting the outer inclined plate at the bottom of the reinforcing plate, it is easier to insert the reinforcing parts into the joint between the long plate and the first short plate or the second short plate, thus improving the assembly efficiency; 5. By setting the extension plates on both sides of the reinforcing plate, the contact area with the long plate and the short plate is increased, further enhancing the deformation resistance of the joint between the long plate and the short plate; 6. The reinforcing plate strengthens the pipe groove, making the groove wall less prone to damage and improving the limiting effect on the pipe body in the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly.

[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "middle", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Example 1:
[0029] like Figure 1As shown in Figure 3, the specific solution of the embodiment is as follows: A grille for packaging a car air conditioning pipe assembly includes multiple long plates 1 and multiple short plates 2 respectively clamped onto the multiple long plates 1. In this embodiment, the multiple long plates 1 and multiple short plates 2 are interlocked together in a "+" shape. After the long plates 1 and short plates 2 are interlocked, multiple independent cavities are formed to store the electrical components in the car air conditioning pipe assembly. Several transition grooves 11 are provided at the upper end of the long plates 1 to allow the electrical components on the car air conditioning pipe assembly to cross the multiple cavities. Several pipe-clamping grooves 21 are provided at the upper end of the short plates 2 to clamp the pipe body part in the car air conditioning pipe assembly. After the car air conditioning pipe assembly is placed in this way, it can effectively prevent the air conditioning pipes from contacting each other, thereby avoiding collisions and scratches during transportation.
[0030] It should be noted that the pipe clamping groove 21 can be configured in various shapes, such as rectangular, "U" shaped, and semi-circular; at the same time, each shape of the pipe clamping groove 21 is also available in various sizes, with a width ranging from 1.5 to 3 cm and a depth ranging from 2 to 4 cm. With this design, different models of automotive air conditioning pipe assemblies can be placed by selecting different specifications of long plates 1 and short plates 2.
[0031] Furthermore, matching slots 4 are provided at the upper end of the long board 1 and the lower end of the short board 2 to allow the long board 1 and the short board 2 to interlock. Additionally, both the long board 1 and the short board 2 in this application are made of corrugated cardboard to reduce manufacturing costs.
[0032] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the number of cavities inside the grille depends on the number of slots 4 in the long plate 1 and the short plate 2. During packaging, the number of slots 4 in the long plate 1 and the short plate 2 can be selected according to the model of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly that needs to be placed.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a reinforcement member 3 is provided at the "+" intersection of the long plate 1 and the short plate 2. The reinforcement member 3 is used to reinforce the snap-fit joint of the long plate 1 and the short plate 2, thereby effectively improving the resistance of the entire grille to deformation and further enhancing the protection effect on the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the reinforcement 3 includes a mounting plate 31. On one side of the mounting plate 31, four reinforcing plates 32 are arranged in a matrix. The four reinforcing plates 32 are respectively locked at the crossroads of the long plate 1 and the short plate 2.
[0035] like Figure 5-6As shown, the reinforcing clamp 32 includes an integrally formed transverse portion and a longitudinal portion, with an included angle of 90° between the transverse and longitudinal portions. A first gap, equal in width, is left between the longitudinal portions of two adjacent reinforcing clamps 32. A second gap, also equal in width, is left between the transverse portions of two adjacent reinforcing clamps 32. The two first gaps and two second gaps together form a cross-shaped gap, which is fitted to the intersection of the long plate 1 and the short plate 2. By clamping the intersection of the long plate 1 and the short plate 2 through the cross-shaped gap, the longitudinal and transverse portions come into contact with the long plate 1 or the short plate 2, creating a clamping effect and preventing deformation of the long plate 1 and the short plate 2 after clamping.
[0036] In this embodiment, a reinforcing rib 34 is provided at the inside corner of the horizontal and vertical sections. The cross-section of the reinforcing rib 34 is a right-angled triangle, and the two right-angled faces of the reinforcing rib 34 are connected to the horizontal and vertical sections respectively. The length of the reinforcing rib 34 is equal to the length of the reinforcing plate 32. The reinforcing rib 34 prevents the included angle between the vertical and horizontal sections of the reinforcing plate 32 from deforming, improves the resistance of the reinforcing plate 32, and keeps the included angle between the vertical and horizontal sections stable at 90°.
[0037] like Figure 6-7 As shown, in this embodiment, the reinforcement 3 also includes an outer inclined plate 33 disposed on the side of the reinforcing plate 32 away from the mounting plate 31. The outer inclined plate 33 includes an integrally formed first inclined plate and a second inclined plate. The first inclined plate is connected to the bottom of the longitudinal part, and the second inclined plate is connected to the bottom of the transverse part. The angle between the first inclined plate and the longitudinal part and the angle α between the second inclined plate and the transverse part are both between 130° and 170°.
[0038] Preferably, the angle between the first inclined plate and the longitudinal portion and the angle α between the second inclined plate and the transverse portion are both 150°. This design can increase the opening of the four skewed plates, making it easier to insert the reinforcement 3 into the engagement point between the long plate 1 and the first short plate 2 or the second short plate 2, thereby improving assembly efficiency.
[0039] The entire reinforcement component 3 is made of plastic, which has good resistance, low cost, and reusability.
[0040] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: First, a grid structure for the packaging box of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly is constructed. This grid consists of a long plate 1 and a short plate 2, forming a partitioned cavity inside for placing the electrical components of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly. The long plate 1 and the short plate 2 serve as the main supporting parts of the grid, and a transition groove 11 is designed on one side to provide a certain degree of space adaptability for the electrical components of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly after assembly. The short plate 2 is designed with a pipe clamping groove 21 to clamp the pipe body of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly, thereby achieving a stable connection.
[0041] During assembly, the short plates 2 are engaged with the long plates 1 via their locking slots 4, forming a stable grid structure. To ensure the strength and stability of the grid, especially at the engagement point between the long plates 1 and the short plates 2, reinforcement members 3 are designed.
[0042] The reinforcement component 3 consists of a mounting plate 31 and four reinforcing plates 32. The mounting plate 31 serves as the base of the reinforcement component 3, and the four reinforcing plates 32 are arranged in a matrix with sufficient gaps to allow the insertion of long plates 1 and short plates 2. The longitudinal and transverse portions of the reinforcing plates 32 form a 90-degree angle, allowing the reinforcing plates 32 to fully contact the long plates 1 and short plates 2, thus improving the overall deformation resistance of the grid. Furthermore, the reinforcing ribs 34 provided at the internal corners of the longitudinal and transverse portions enhance the deformation resistance of the reinforcing plates 32, thereby further improving the strength and stability of the grid.
[0043] Furthermore, the bottom of the reinforcing plate 32 is designed with an outwardly sloping plate 33, which makes the bottom openings of the four reinforcing plates 32 larger, facilitating the insertion of the reinforcement member 3 into the engagement point between the long plate 1 and the short plate 2. This not only simplifies the assembly process and improves assembly efficiency, but also ensures that the reinforcement member 3 can be tightly and firmly integrated with the grid structure, further enhancing its overall stability.
[0044] Once the grille is assembled, the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly can be stably placed inside it. Due to the effective separation achieved through the pipe-holding grooves 21 and reinforcement members 3 within the grille, the electrical components of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly are placed within their respective cavities. Therefore, adjacent automotive air conditioning pipe assemblies will not come into contact with each other. Furthermore, the pipe bodies of the automotive air conditioning pipe assemblies are secured by the pipe-holding grooves 21, thus preventing potential collisions and damage during transportation. This grille structure not only improves the safety of the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly during transportation but also facilitates reuse through simple assembly and disassembly, reducing packaging costs. Example 2:
[0045] like Figure 8 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, further optimization is achieved by providing extension plates 35 on both sides of the reinforcing plate 32. The side of the extension plate 35 that contacts the long plate 1 or the short plate 2 is flush with the side of the reinforcing plate 32 that contacts the long plate 1 or the short plate 2. By increasing the contact area with the long plate 1 and the short plate 2 using the extension plate 35, the snap-fit joint can have enhanced resistance to deformation. The extension plate 35 can take various shapes, preferably an arc shape, and the material of the extension plate 35 is the same as the material of the reinforcing member 3.
[0046] like Figure 9-11As shown, a corresponding reinforcing clip 5 is provided on the inner side of the pipe clamping groove 21, and a wrapping groove is provided on the outer side of the reinforcing clip 5 to wrap around the groove wall of the pipe clamping groove 21. The reinforcing clip 5 strengthens the pipe clamping groove 21, making the groove wall of the pipe clamping groove 21 less prone to damage. An inner liner is provided on the inner side of the reinforcing clip 5. The inner liner is generally made of foam sponge, which can improve the limiting effect on the pipe body in the automotive air conditioning pipe assembly, while also having a certain cushioning and shock absorption effect, and can better cope with some bumpy road conditions.
[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
