[0047] The environmentally friendly packaging 200 includes: an upper liner 210, a middle liner 220, and a lower liner 230.
[0048] The lower liner 230 is used to place the main body 110 of the stove 100. The lower liner 230 includes a base plate 231, two oppositely arranged long side portions 232 and two oppositely arranged short side portions 233. The long side portions 232 and the short side portions 233 are both located at the edge of the base plate 231. The interior of the long side portions 232 and the interior of the short side portions 233 are both filled with cushioning components.
[0049] The middle liner 220 is a plate-shaped component with multiple openings 221 for fitting the burner head 111 and knob 112 of the cooktop 100.
[0050] The upper liner 210 has one or more slots 216 for placing the pot support 120 of the stove 100.
[0051] The long side portion 232 extends along the first direction X, and the short side portion 233 extends along the second direction Y.
[0052] The environmentally friendly packaging 200 properly packages the main body 110 of the stove 100 and the pot support 120 with three layers of padding. In the lower padding 230 where the main body 110 of the stove 100 is placed, there are long side parts 232 and short side parts 233 that can cushion the main body 110 of the stove 100, effectively protecting the main body 110 of the stove 100 and preventing damage from drops.
[0053] It should be understood that, Figure 4-6 The red lines in line 9 are embossing lines, and the dotted lines are sewing lines.
[0054] The upper liner 210 is made of corrugated cardboard folded together. The corrugation direction of this cardboard is parallel to the second direction Y. The upper liner 210 is used to hold all remaining accessories of the stove 100 (such as the pot support 120, pressure regulator, instruction manual, power cord, etc.). The upper liner 210 is entirely made of corrugated cardboard folded or glued together, as shown in the unfolded diagram. Figure 4-6 As shown, the final assembly is as follows Figure 3 Two milk pot supports 120 are placed under the middle pot support 120 after being placed in the airplane box 240. The first cardboard 211 is folded to form the main body of the upper pad 210, while two second cardboards 212 are folded and inserted into the main body formed by the first cardboard 211. One side is a tongue-and-groove insertion, and the other side is an extended insertion along the long side, which can increase the vertical support of the upper pad 210. In addition, there is an opening above the power cord for easy access by the customer. The third cardboard 213 is folded and pasted into the placement hole in the main body of the upper pad 210 formed by the first cardboard 211, for placing the pressure regulator valve.
[0055] The middle liner 220 is made from a single sheet of honeycomb cardboard. The middle liner 220 is supported by the complete honeycomb cardboard, forming good support, and even if the entire package is inverted, it will well support the main body 110 of the stove 100.
[0056] Alternatively, the middle liner 220 can also be made of corrugated cardboard folded together.
[0057] The middle layer liner 220 is a single honeycomb panel with holes 221 for the burner head 111 and knob 112. The height of the middle layer liner 220 is slightly higher than the burner head 111. Before inserting the middle layer liner 220, a piece of flexible paper needs to be placed to prevent the burner head 111 from falling out.
[0058] The cushioning components in the lower liner 230 include a first cushioning member 234 and a second cushioning member 235; the first cushioning member 234 fills the interior of the long side portion 232 and is made of honeycomb paperboard, and the honeycomb holes of the first cushioning member 234 extend along the second direction Y; the second cushioning member 235 fills the interior of the short side portion 233 and is made of honeycomb paperboard, and the honeycomb holes of the second cushioning member 235 extend along the first direction X.
[0059] With the buffer components set as described above, the impact on the main body 110 of the stove 100 in the first direction X and the second direction Y can be effectively buffered.
[0060] Alternatively, the cushioning component can also be folded corrugated cardboard, etc.
[0061] The short side portion 233 is also filled with a third buffer 236, which is made of corrugated cardboard. The third buffer 236 is respectively positioned above the second buffer 235, and the corrugation direction of the third buffer 236 is parallel to the first direction X.
[0062] The third buffer 236 further buffers the impact on the main body 110 of the stove 100 in the first direction X.
[0063] The base plate 231, the two long side portions 232, and the two short side portions 233 are composed of a whole corrugated cardboard (first cardboard 211). The long side portions 232 and the short side portions 233 are both cuboids formed by folding the edges of the corrugated cardboard.
[0064] The base plate 231, the two long side sections 232, and the two short side sections 233 are folded from a single sheet of corrugated cardboard, which facilitates manufacturing. The corrugation direction of the corrugated cardboard is parallel to the first direction X.
[0065] The lower liner 230 also includes a support member, which is located on the base plate 231 and is lower than the long side portion 232 and the short side portion 233.
[0066] The supporting components of the lower liner 230 are placed at the bottom of the main body 110 of the stove 100, providing cushioning to the main body 110 of the stove 100 in the vertical direction.
[0067] The supporting components are made of honeycomb cardboard.
[0068] The supporting components include a transverse support 237 and a longitudinal support 238;
[0069] The longitudinal support member 238 is located in the middle of the lower pad 230 in the second direction Y, and both ends of the longitudinal support member 238 abut against the two long side portions 232 respectively; the transverse support member 237 is located in the middle of the lower pad 230 in the first direction X, and both ends of the transverse support member 237 abut against the two short side portions 233 respectively.
[0070] The transverse support 237 and the longitudinal support 238 provide vertical buffering while also providing support to the long side portion 232 and the short side portion 233 in the first direction X and the second direction Y by abutting against the short side portion 233 and the long side portion 232 respectively.
[0071] The buffer component includes a plurality of first buffer members 234; the plurality of first buffer members 234 are filled inside the long side portion 232 and are respectively disposed at both ends of the long side portion 232 and at the positions corresponding to both ends of the longitudinal support member 238 in the long side portion 232.
[0072] First buffer members 234 are provided at both ends of the long side portion 232 and at the positions corresponding to the two ends of the longitudinal support member 238 in the long side portion 232, which can better buffer and strengthen the corner parts and front and rear parts where the impact force is concentrated.
[0073] The environmentally friendly packaging 200 of this utility model is designed for a relatively heavy stove 100 (gas stove), so the limiting requirements for the base of the stove 100 are relatively high. The lower padding 230 uses a corrugated cardboard (fourth cardboard 239) as the base material (as shown in the unfolded diagram). Figure 9 ), Figure 9 The red lines are crease lines, and the dotted lines are sewing lines. After folding, the gaps are filled with honeycomb cardboard and corrugated cardboard to increase support and cushioning (e.g., Figure 8 (As shown). Figure 8 The nine honeycomb cardboard pieces (first cushioning element 234) within the dashed box are all glued to the inside of the corrugated cardboard. Figure 8 The green dashed line in the diagram indicates the first cushioning element 234 made of honeycomb cardboard. In this embodiment, the width reserved on one side of the stove 100 in the second direction Y is half the width reserved on the other side; therefore, in... Figure 8 Two first buffer members 234 are inserted side by side in the long side portion 232 at the bottom center. However, this utility model is not limited to this, and those skilled in the art can insert honeycomb cardboard of the required specifications as needed.
[0074] The honeycomb direction of the first buffer 234 (parallel to the second direction Y) is normal to the surface of the gas stove. This provides excellent support for the gas stove when it is dropped from its long side (first direction X), reducing displacement caused by impact and protecting the glass panel of the stove 100 from bottoming out. The gaps after folding the short side corrugated cardboard are filled with honeycomb cardboard (second buffer 235) and corrugated cardboard (third buffer 236). The corrugated direction of the corrugated cardboard (third buffer 236) (parallel to the first direction X) is normal to the surface of the gas stove, further enhancing the impact resistance of the short side (second direction Y) by utilizing the corrugated support. Honeycomb cardboard (transverse support 237 and longitudinal support 238) is pasted longitudinally and transversely in the middle of the lower pad 230 to support the entire gas stove and make way for the protruding air inlet. Utilizing the good flat-pressing properties of the honeycomb panel, the gas stove receives strong vertical support and does not collapse.
[0075] The environmentally friendly packaging 200 of this embodiment passed the preset drop test (drop height of 400mm for one corner and three edges, and drop height of 450mm for six sides). The main body uses three layers of padding (such as upper, middle, and lower layers). Figure 1-2 As shown), the padding material is corrugated cardboard and honeycomb cardboard. In order to simplify the packaging and product removal process, improve production efficiency and user experience, the integrity and reliability of the overall packaging structure are achieved by folding corrugated cardboard, assembling it, and pasting honeycomb cardboard.
[0076] This utility model has the following advantages:
[0077] 1. This utility model adopts an all-paper structure, which complies with overseas environmental protection regulations, is environmentally friendly and recyclable, and does not pollute the environment.
[0078] 2. This utility model uses a combination of corrugated cardboard and honeycomb cardboard with different placement directions to ensure structural strength and cushioning performance, giving full play to the characteristics of the materials.
[0079] 3. This utility model can pass the preset drop test: a drop height of 400mm for a three-sided corner and a drop height of 450mm for a six-sided shape.
[0080] 4. This utility model requires the packaging supplier to deliver the goods after assembly. For the production line, the main operation steps of the packaging part are to place the upper, middle and lower pads and fold the airplane box 240. The operation is simple.
[0081] 5. Compared with foam and pulp molding, the mold opening cost of this utility model is greatly reduced.
