[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] This application provides a liner and packaging structure, the liner having high dynamic cushioning characteristics. The following is a detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please seeFigure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the gasket and television set provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0026] This application provides a pad 10, which is applied to a television set 1.

[0027] The pad 10 secures the television inside the packaging box, preventing it from shaking. Because the pad 10 itself has cushioning properties, it creates a buffer between the television 1 and the packaging box, thus preventing damage to the television 1 from external impacts.

[0028] In the embodiments of this application, the television set 1 can be a flat-panel TV 1 or a flat-panel display, and its main components include a display screen and a back panel surrounding the display screen. The display screen of the television set 1 is a television screen used for image display, such as a liquid crystal display screen.

[0029] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a first structure of the gasket provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0030] The pad 10 includes multiple sidewalls 11, which form a groove 12 configured to engage with the corner of the television set 1. By supporting and protecting the corner of the television set 1, it absorbs external impact forces and prevents stress concentration at the corner of the television set 1 from causing damage.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 , Figure 3 for Figure 2 The first type of explosion diagram, Figure 4 for Figure 2 The second type of explosion diagram is shown. Each sidewall 11 includes a first hollow shell 111 and a buffer layer 112 disposed within the first hollow shell 111. Generally, the first hollow shell 111 can be used for packaging lightweight objects. According to the gravitational potential energy formula mgh, gravitational potential energy is positively correlated with the weight of an object. The hollow structure of the first hollow shell 111 has a certain elasticity and can absorb the falling energy of lightweight objects. However, for heavy products, such as television set 1, if only the hollow structure of the first hollow shell 111 is relied upon, it cannot completely absorb the falling energy, and television set 1 is at risk of damage. In order to further reduce the risk of damage to television set 1, a buffer layer 112 is disposed inside the first hollow shell 111, which can further absorb gravitational potential energy.

[0032] Therefore, in the pad 10 provided in this application, multiple sidewalls 11 are provided to conform to the curvature of the outer surface of the television 1, which is beneficial for fixing it to the television 1. The buffer layer 112 embedded in the first hollow shell 111 can absorb the energy generated when the television 1 is subjected to external impact or falls, so that the pad 10 has high dynamic buffering characteristics.

[0033] To facilitate fabrication and reduce subsequent assembly steps, the multiple first hollow shells 111 can be interconnected and integrally formed. The material of the first hollow shell 111 is either a thermoforming material or a paper-plastic composite material. The thermoforming material or paper-plastic composite material can be recycled, which is environmentally friendly. The thermoforming material can be PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), PS (polystyrene), PC (polycarbonate), etc. The thermoforming material has excellent impact resistance. Paper-plastic composite material is a composite material made by fusing paper and plastic materials, and it features environmental friendliness, light weight, strength, and aesthetic appeal.

[0034] The buffer layer 112 is a honeycomb layer. This honeycomb buffer layer 112 has advantages such as light weight, high strength, high load-bearing capacity, good elasticity, low cost, and ease of special processing, and is widely used for cushioning various items. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the elastic structure of the buffer layer provided in the embodiments of this application is shown below: (1) Schematic diagram of the state of the buffer layer before pre-compression; (2) Schematic diagram of the state of the buffer layer after pre-compression. The honeycomb layer can be prepared by pre-compression process. The pre-compressed honeycomb layer has an elastic effect and a buffering effect. After pre-compression, the honeycomb core wall of the honeycomb layer bends, producing a spring-like structure, forming a buffering effect. According to the buffering requirements, the greater the pre-compression thickness, the smaller the elastic coefficient, and the better the buffering.

[0035] It is worth noting that when the first hollow shell 111 is made of thermoforming material and the buffer layer 112 is a honeycomb layer, the buffer layer 112 is located inside the first hollow shell 111, which can solve the problem of the buffer layer 112 being prone to moisture absorption.

[0036] Furthermore, the plurality of sidewalls 11 include a first sidewall 113, a second sidewall 114, a third sidewall 115, and a fourth sidewall 116, which together form a groove 12. This groove 12 engages with the corner of the television set 1. The first sidewall 113 is configured to correspond to the bottom or top edge of the television set 1, the second sidewall 114 is configured to correspond to the side of the television set 1, the third sidewall 115 is configured to correspond to the display screen of the television set 1, and the fourth sidewall 116 is configured to correspond to the back panel of the television set 1. These plurality of sidewalls 11 provide multi-angle protection for the corners of the television set 1.

[0037] Please see Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a second structure of the gasket provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 for Figure 6 A cross-sectional view along point AA. The first sidewall 113 is provided with multiple hollow protrusions 1131, which are located on one side of the first sidewall 113 forming the groove 12. The hollow protrusions 1131 are thin-walled structures; the deformation of the thin wall can generate cushioning. Furthermore, a buffer layer 112 is provided inside the first sidewall 113, forming a series elastic structure for the bottom of the television set 1. According to the series elastic coefficient formula K=K1*K2 / (K1+K2), adding hollow protrusions 1131 can further reduce the series elastic coefficient, effectively solving the problems of vibration damage and drops on the television set 1.

[0038] Please continue reading. Figure 2 The pad 10 also includes a second hollow shell 13, which is disposed on one side of the third sidewall 115 forming the groove 12; the second hollow shell 13 communicates with the first hollow shell 111. The second hollow shell 13 is filled with a buffer layer 112. The second hollow shell 13 can abut against the screen of the television 1. The second hollow shell 13 has a small thickness, forming a rigid plane. When the television 1 is dropped, the second hollow shell 13 can protect the stress concentration points of the television screen and reduce the risk of screen breakage. Furthermore, to enhance the protective effect, the projected area of ​​the second hollow shell 13 on the screen of the television 1 is larger than the projected area of ​​the third sidewall 115 on the screen of the television 1.

[0039] Please see Figure 8 as well as Figure 9 , Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of a third structure of the gasket provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9 for Figure 8An enlarged view of part B. A slot 1141 is provided on the second sidewall 114, and the slot 1141 communicates with the groove 12. The slot 1141 can be used to fix the liner and realize the positioning of the liner.

[0040] Please see Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the packaging structure and television set provided in the embodiments of this application. This application provides a packaging structure 100, including a plurality of pads 10. The pads 10 are the same as those in the above embodiments, with each pad 10 disposed at a corner of the television set 1. Since the pads 10 employ all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, they possess at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0041] The number of pads 10 can be four, corresponding to the four corners of the television set 1.

[0042] Please continue reading. Figure 2 Each pad 10 includes a first sidewall 113, a second sidewall 114, a third sidewall 115, and a fourth sidewall 116. The first sidewall 113, the third sidewall 115, and the fourth sidewall 116 form a groove 12. The first sidewall 113 is configured to correspond to the bottom edge of the television 1, the second sidewall 114 is configured to correspond to the side edge of the television 1, the third sidewall 115 is configured to correspond to the display screen of the television 1, and the fourth sidewall 116 is configured to correspond to the back panel of the television 1. A slot 1141 is provided on the second sidewall 114, and the slot 1141 communicates with the groove 12.

[0043] Please continue reading. Figure 10 as well as Figure 11 , Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the pad and liner provided in the embodiments of this application. The packaging structure 100 also includes a liner 20, which is inserted into a slot 1141 and configured to correspond to the display screen of the television 1.

[0044] In the pads 10 at the four corners of the television set 1, each second sidewall 114 is provided with a slot 1141, which can realize the positioning of the four corners of the liner 20, facilitating assembly on the production line. Even under ISTA 3A test procedures and a drop height of 910mm, the packaging structure 100 with added pads still provides good protection for the television set 1.

[0045] Because the multiple corners of the liner 20 are respectively fixed to the multiple pads 10, there is a gap between the liner 20 and the screen of the television 1. When the front of the screen of the television 1 is subjected to external impact, such as falling from a height, the liner 20 is fixed by the multiple pads 10, which can absorb the impact force, buffer the impact on the screen, prevent the screen of the television 1 from being damaged by force, and disperse the impact force acting on the liner 20 to the multiple pads 10, where it is buffered and absorbed.

[0046] The liner 20 has a certain degree of rigidity and provides energy absorption and cushioning. For example, the liner 20 can be corrugated cardboard, also known as corrugated paperboard. The corrugations of corrugated cardboard can form a triangular structure. Corrugated cardboard can absorb impact through deformation, thus possessing good elasticity and extensibility. Furthermore, due to the good load-bearing capacity of the triangular structure, corrugated cardboard has high mechanical strength, capable of withstanding impacts such as collisions and tripping during handling. Corrugated cardboard also has advantages such as low cost and recyclability, making it an ideal packaging cushioning material. The liner 20 can also be honeycomb cardboard, etc.

[0047] In the pad 10 and packaging structure 100 provided in this application embodiment, the pad 10 is applied to a television set 1. The pad 10 includes multiple sidewalls 11, which form a groove 12 for engaging with the corner of the television set 1. Each sidewall 11 includes a first hollow shell 111 and a buffer layer 112 disposed within the first hollow shell 111. The multiple sidewalls 11 are configured to conform to the curvature of the outer surface of the television set 1, which is beneficial for fixing it to the television set 1. The buffer layer 112 embedded in the first hollow shell 111 can absorb the potential energy generated when the television set 1 is impacted or dropped, so that the pad 10 has high dynamic cushioning characteristics.
