Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of communication equipment technology, and in particular to a base station antenna packaging structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of wireless communication, the transportation and storage of base station antennas place stringent demands on the reliability, space utilization, and environmental friendliness of packaging solutions. Current mainstream packaging solutions generally employ a combination of corrugated cardboard boxes and pearl cotton linings. The pearl cotton lining primarily serves as cushioning and protection, while the supporting function during stacking relies almost entirely on the structural strength of the corrugated cardboard box. However, this solution has significant drawbacks: firstly, the insufficient supporting rigidity of the pearl cotton material limits the overall stacking height of the packaging to the compressive strength of the cardboard box, requiring lower stacking heights during transportation or storage, resulting in low space utilization and directly increasing logistics costs; secondly, when the stacking height exceeds the cardboard box's load-bearing limit, the bottom of the packaging box is prone to failure due to prolonged pressure, leading to collapse and deformation, which in turn damages the internal base station antenna due to compression, causing product quality issues.

[0003] Furthermore, with the popularization of the concept of green packaging, the poor recyclability and biodegradability of pearl cotton materials make it difficult to meet the current industry's urgent need for environmentally friendly packaging. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to propose a new packaging solution that combines high-strength support, efficient buffer protection, and environmental protection characteristics, in order to solve the problems of insufficient stacking reliability, low space utilization, and poor environmental performance in the existing technology, and to meet the actual needs of large-scale transportation and low-carbon development of base station antennas.

[0005] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0006] A base station antenna packaging structure includes a packaging carton and a sheath assembly; the sheath assembly includes a front cover sheath, a rear cover sheath, an upper sheath, and a lower sheath; the front cover sheath is adapted to and fitted with the front cover of the base station antenna, the rear cover sheath is adapted to and fitted with the rear cover of the base station antenna, the upper sheath is adapted to and fitted with the upper surface of the base station antenna, and the lower sheath is adapted to and fitted with the lower surface of the base station antenna; each sheath in the sheath assembly is made of corrugated cardboard, and the packaging carton wraps the base station antenna and the sheath assembly.

[0007] A further improvement is that the sheath assembly also includes a bracket sheath, and the packaging carton also contains a mounting bracket. The bracket sheath is adapted to and fits into the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket and the bracket sheath are located on one side of the rear end cover sheath. The bracket sheath is used to fill the gap between the mounting bracket and the packaging carton and the rear end cover sheath.

[0008] A further improvement is that the front cover sleeve includes a front face box and a front face cushioning pad; the outer surface of the front face box is attached to the inner surface of one end of the packaging carton; the front face cushioning pad is disposed inside the front face box and fits onto the front cover.

[0009] A further improvement is that the front surface buffer pad is provided with a front surface groove that fits with the front surface cover, a recess that fits with the radio frequency connector on the front surface cover, and a front surface plane that fits with the front surface plane of the front surface cover.

[0010] A further improvement is that the rear cover sleeve includes a rear face box and a rear face cushioning pad; the outer surface of the rear face box along the width and height directions of the base station antenna is fitted with the corresponding inner surface of the packaging carton, and the outer surface of the rear face box along the length direction of the base station antenna is fitted with the mounting bracket and bracket sleeve; the rear face cushioning pad is disposed inside the rear face box, and the rear face cushioning pad is fitted with the rear cover.

[0011] A further improvement is that the rear end face buffer pad is provided with a rear end face slot that fits with the rear end cover and a rear end face plane that fits with the rear end cover plane of the rear end cover.

[0012] A further improvement is that the upper sheath includes an upper sleeve box and an upper buffer pad located inside the upper sleeve box. Both the upper sleeve box and the upper buffer pad are provided with upper fitting surfaces that match the shape of the upper surface of the base station antenna. The outer surfaces of the upper sleeve box along the width and height directions of the base station antenna are respectively attached to the corresponding inner surfaces of the packaging carton.

[0013] A further improvement is that the lower sheath includes a lower sleeve box and a lower buffer pad located inside the lower sleeve box. Both the lower sleeve box and the lower buffer pad are provided with a lower fitting surface that matches the shape of the lower surface of the base station antenna. The outer surface of the lower sleeve box along the width and height directions of the base station antenna is respectively attached to the corresponding inner surface of the packaging carton.

[0014] A further improvement is that both the upper and lower buffer pads are grid-like structures with uniformly intersecting arrangements.

[0015] A further improvement is that the upper and lower sheaths are used in pairs and are evenly distributed along the length of the base station antenna. When the length of the packaging carton is less than 1.5m, one pair of upper and lower sheaths is provided; when the length of the packaging carton is less than 2m, two pairs of upper and lower sheaths are provided; and when the length of the packaging carton is less than 3m, three pairs of upper and lower sheaths are provided.

[0018] This invention uses corrugated cardboard to make the sheath assembly. Corrugated cardboard is a green and environmentally friendly material that enables the packaging to be recycled and reused. It also has good biodegradability, which greatly reduces the environmental impact of packaging. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 7 This utility model embodiment proposes a base station antenna 100 packaging structure, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the packaging structure includes a packaging carton 200 and a sheath assembly; the sheath assembly includes a front cover sheath 300, a rear cover sheath 400, an upper sheath 500, and a lower sheath 600; the front cover sheath 300 is adapted to and fitted with the front cover 110 of the base station antenna 100, the rear cover sheath 400 is adapted to and fitted with the rear cover 120 of the base station antenna 100, the upper sheath 500 is adapted to and fitted with the upper surface 130 of the base station antenna 100, and the lower sheath 600 is adapted to and fitted with the lower surface 140 of the base station antenna 100; each sheath in the sheath assembly is made of corrugated cardboard, and the packaging carton 200 wraps the base station antenna 100 and the sheath assembly.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sheath assembly also includes a bracket sheath 700, and the packaging carton 200 also contains a mounting bracket 800. The bracket sheath 700 is adapted to and fits into the mounting bracket 800. The mounting bracket 700 and the bracket sheath 800 are located on one side of the rear end cover sheath 400. The bracket sheath 800 is used to fill the gap between the mounting bracket 700 and the packaging carton 200 and the rear end cover sheath 400. The bracket sheath 700 has a hollow structure, which has a cushioning capacity, and its three-dimensional structure can provide support.

[0034] Specifically, the packaging carton 200 uses national standard corrugated cardboard boxes, and the commonly used packaging carton 200 types are 0201 and 0203.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the front cover sleeve 300 includes a front face box 310 and a front face cushioning pad 320; the outer surface of the front face box 310 is attached to the inner surface of one end of the packaging carton 200; the front face cushioning pad 320 is disposed inside the front face box 310, and the front face cushioning pad 320 fits with the front cover 110. The front face cushioning pad 320 is provided with a front face slot 321 that fits with the front cover 110, a recess 322 that fits with the radio frequency connector 150 on the front cover 110, and a front face plane 323 that fits with the front cover plane 111 of the front cover 110.

[0036] It is understood that the front cover sleeve 300 is used to protect the front cover 110 and the radio frequency connector 150 of the base station antenna 100, ensuring that the product is not damaged in the event of a drop or stacking after packaging.

[0037] Specifically, the recessed hole 322 is a circular hole, the size of which is adapted to the RF connector 150.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the rear cover sleeve 400 includes a rear face box 410 and a rear face buffer pad 420; the outer surface of the rear face box 410 along the width W and height H directions of the base station antenna 100 is attached to the corresponding inner surface of the packaging carton 200, and the outer surface of the rear face box 410 along the length L direction of the base station antenna 100 is attached to the mounting bracket 800 and the bracket sleeve 700; the rear face buffer pad 420 is disposed inside the rear face box 410, and the rear face buffer pad 420 fits with the rear cover 120.

[0039] It is understood that the rear cover sleeve 400 is used to protect the rear cover 120 of the base station antenna 100, ensuring that the base station antenna 100 is not damaged in the event of a drop or stacking after the product is packaged.

[0040] Preferably, when the front cover 110 and the rear cover 120 of the base station antenna 100 have the same external dimensions, the front cover sleeve 300 and the rear cover sleeve 400 can use the same material, that is, the front cover sleeve 300 can be used. It is understood that, under normal circumstances, the front cover 110 and the rear cover 120 of the base station antenna 100 have the same external dimensions, so a common sleeve (front cover sleeve 300) can be used, reducing the types of materials.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper sheath 500 includes an upper sheath 510 and an upper buffer pad 520 located inside the upper sheath 510. Both the upper sheath 510 and the upper buffer pad 520 are provided with upper fitting surfaces 530 that match the shape of the upper surface 130 of the base station antenna 100. The outer surfaces of the upper sheath 510 along the width W and height H directions of the base station antenna 100 are respectively attached to the corresponding inner surfaces of the packaging carton 200. The upper buffer pad 520 is a grid-like structure with uniformly cross-arranged surfaces.

[0042] It is understood that the upper protective sleeve 500 is used to protect the upper surface 130 of the base station antenna 100, ensuring that the base station antenna 100 will not be damaged in the event of a drop or stacking after the product is packaged.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the lower sheath 600 includes a lower sheath 610 and a lower buffer pad 620 located inside the lower sheath 610. Both the lower sheath 610 and the lower buffer pad 620 are provided with a lower fitting surface 630 that matches the shape of the lower surface 140 of the base station antenna 100. The outer surface of the lower sheath 610 along the width W and height H directions of the base station antenna 100 is respectively attached to the corresponding inner surface of the packaging carton 200. The lower buffer pad 620 is a grid-like structure with uniformly cross-arranged layers.

[0044] It is understood that the lower sheath 600 is used to protect the lower surface 140 of the base station antenna 100, ensuring that the base station antenna 100 will not be damaged in the event of a drop or stacking after the product is packaged.

[0045] In this embodiment, the upper sheath 500 and the lower sheath 600 are used in pairs and are evenly distributed along the length L of the base station antenna 100. When the length of the packaging carton 200 is less than 1.5m, one pair of the upper sheath 500 and the lower sheath 600 is provided. When 1.5m ≤ the length of the packaging carton 200 is less than 2m, two pairs of the upper sheath 500 and the lower sheath 600 are provided. When 2m ≤ the length of the packaging carton 200 is less than 3m, three pairs of the upper sheath 500 and the lower sheath 600 are provided.

[0046] Understandably, different numbers of upper sheaths 500 and lower sheaths 600 are set up according to the different length dimensions of base station antennas 100, so that when the packaging is subjected to external pressure, the external pressure can be evenly distributed, while better protecting the product and achieving a multi-point distributed support effect.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, furthermore, the upper sheath 500 and the lower sheath 600 have a dimension W1 of 300mm-350mm along the length L of the base station antenna 100. The upper buffer pad 520 and the lower buffer pad 620 are both uniformly intersecting grid-like structures, with a grid-like structure spacing (△1 and △2) of 60mm-70mm. Packaging drop and stacking test data verify that this size configuration effectively improves cushioning performance and provides sufficient support.

[0048] When the front cover sleeve 300, rear cover sleeve 400, upper sleeve 500, lower sleeve 600, and support sleeve 700 are placed inside the packaging carton 200, the corrugated direction of all the sleeves is consistent with the corrugated direction of the packaging carton 200. It is understood that corrugated cardboard mainly relies on its corrugations for support; when the corrugated directions of all materials are consistent, all materials work together to provide support.

[0049] When the packaging cartons 200 are stacked, the packaging cartons 200, the front cover sleeve 300, the rear cover sleeve 400, the upper sleeve 500, the lower sleeve 600, and the support sleeve 700 all provide support, which can better and more evenly distribute pressure and increase the stacking height of the product packaging. Compared with the existing "corrugated cardboard box + pearl cotton lining" packaging scheme, the packaging carton 200 stacking height of the present embodiment is 1.5-2 times that of the existing technology under the same conditions.

[0050] This utility model provides a protective sleeve assembly inside the packaging carton 200, consisting of a front cover sleeve 300, a rear cover sleeve 400, an upper sleeve 500, a lower sleeve 600, and a support sleeve 700, all made of corrugated cardboard. The protective sleeve assembly and the packaging carton 200 work together to support and distribute pressure, achieving a cushioning effect while ensuring even distribution and effective transmission of stacked loads. This significantly increases the packaging stacking height, greatly improves space utilization during transportation or storage, and saves transportation costs.

[0051] This invention uses corrugated cardboard to make the sheath assembly. Corrugated cardboard is a green and environmentally friendly material that enables the packaging to be recycled and reused. It also has good biodegradability, which greatly reduces the environmental impact of packaging.

[0052] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0053] The embodiments described above merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
