Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of this utility model relate to the field of wheel hub packaging, and particularly to a partition and wheel hub packaging material. Background Technology
[0002] Wheel hub packaging materials, as a type of packaging equipment used to facilitate the transportation and handling of wheel hubs, are widely used by major automakers. To avoid damage to the wheel hubs during packaging, these materials are typically made of high-density composite materials, such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Because these materials are much softer than wheel hubs, and possess characteristics such as high strength, light weight, ease of manufacture, and low production cost, they are relatively easy to package and transport.
[0003] However, the inventors discovered that since some wheel hub packaging materials are currently available in standard rectangular dimensions, the limited internal loading capacity of containers makes it difficult to load more wheel hub packaging materials at once to transport more wheel hubs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to design a partition and wheel hub packaging material that can greatly increase the number of wheel hub packaging materials that can be carried inside a container, thereby enabling the container to transport more wheel hubs at once and thus reducing the transportation cost of wheel hubs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, an embodiment of the present invention provides a partition having a top side, a bottom side opposite to the top side, and a peripheral side connecting the top side and the bottom side;
[0006] The perimeter includes: a front side, a rear side opposite to the front side, a left side and a right side connecting the front side and the rear side, and the length of the front side is greater than the length of the rear side, such that the left side and the right side extend at least partially from one end connected to the front side to the other end in a direction that approaches each other.
[0007] In addition, embodiments of this utility model provide a wheel hub cladding material, comprising:
[0008] At least one partition as described above; when there are multiple partitions, each partition is arranged sequentially in the vertical direction, and the space between each two adjacent partitions is used to position the wheel hub.
[0009] A cover plate is disposed on the top side of the uppermost partition and positioned on the top side of the partition;
[0010] A tray is disposed on the bottom side of the lowest partition and positioned on the bottom side of the partition;
[0011] The cover plate and the tray have the same shape as the partition.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model have the following advantages: the perimeter of the partition includes a front side, a rear side opposite to the front side, and a left side and a right side connecting the front side and the rear side. The length of the front side is greater than the length of the rear side, so that the left side and the right side extend at least partially from one end connected to the front side to the other end in a direction that approaches each other. Furthermore, since the cover plate and pallet of the wheel hub packaging have the same shape as the partition, the entire wheel hub packaging has a wing-shaped irregular structure. This allows each pair of adjacent wheel hub packaging to be nested and staggered when placed in the container, thus effectively increasing the number of wheel hubs that can be supported when multiple wheel hub packaging are laid flat, thereby effectively reducing the transportation cost of the wheel hubs.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the various embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details have been presented in the various embodiments of this utility model to enable the reader to better understand this application. However, the technical solutions claimed in this application can be implemented even without these technical details and with various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] The first embodiment of this utility model relates to a partition, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the partition 1 has a top side 12, a bottom side 13 opposite to the top side 12, and a peripheral side 14 connecting the top side 12 and the bottom side 13.
[0023] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the periphery 14 includes: a front side 141, a rear side 142 opposite to the front side 141, a left side 143 and a right side 144 connecting the front side 142 and the rear side 142, and the length of the front side 141 is greater than the length of the rear side 142, such that the left side 143 and the right side 144 extend at least partially from one end connected to the front side 142 to the other end in a direction that approaches each other.
[0024] As can be seen from the above, since the perimeter 14 of the partition 1 includes: a front side 141, a rear side 142 opposite to the front side 141, a left side 143 and a right side 144 connecting the front side 141 and the rear side 142, and the length of the front side 141 is greater than the length of the rear side, the left side 143 and the right side 144 extend at least partially from one end connected to the front side 141 to the other end in a direction that approaches each other. Therefore, the cover plate 2 and the pallet 3 of the wheel hub packaging can be designed with the same shape as the partition 1, so that the entire wheel hub packaging is a wing-shaped irregular structure. When the wheel hub packaging is placed in the container, each two adjacent wheel hub packaging can be nested and staggered with each other. Therefore, it can effectively increase the number of wheel hubs that multiple wheel hub packaging can support when laid flat. Compared with the current shipping container loading method, it can increase the loading rate by nearly 30%, thereby effectively reducing the transportation cost of wheel hubs.
[0025] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the left side 143 includes at least one first straight segment 1431 and at least one first inclined segment 1432, and the first straight segments 1431 and the first inclined segments 1432 are alternately arranged in the direction from the front side 141 to the rear side 142. Similarly, as Figure 2As shown, the right side 144 includes at least one second straight segment 1441 and at least one second inclined segment 1442, and the second straight segments 1441 and the second inclined segments 1442 are alternately arranged in sequence from the front side 141 to the rear side 142. Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the number of first straight segments 1431 and second straight segments 1441 is the same and they correspond uniquely. Each first straight segment 1431 is opposite to its uniquely corresponding second straight segment 1441 along the length direction of the partition 1. Simultaneously, the number of first inclined segments 1432 and second inclined segments 1442 is the same and they correspond uniquely. Each first inclined segment 1432 is opposite to its uniquely corresponding second inclined segment 1442 along the length direction of the partition 1. Furthermore, under the action of each first inclined segment 1432 and each second inclined segment 1442, each first straight segment 1431 and its uniquely corresponding second straight segment 1441 are used to position at least one wheel hub. For example, in the prior art, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the shape of the wheel hub packaging is generally rectangular, meaning that a total of eight wheel hubs can be positioned on the partition 1 of each wheel hub packaging. Therefore, when each wheel hub packaging is laid out, most of the space between each two adjacent wheel packagings will be left unused.
[0026] When the wheel hub cladding material of this application is used, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each of the first inclined segment 1432 and the second inclined segment 1442 is provided, while each of the first straight segment 1431 and the second straight segment 1441 is provided in twos. This ensures that the vertical distance between one set of uniquely corresponding first straight segments 1431 and 1441 is greater than the vertical distance between the other set of uniquely corresponding first straight segments 1431 and 1441. That is, three wheel hubs can be positioned between one set of corresponding first straight segments 1431 and 1441, while two wheel hubs can be positioned between the other set. In total, the wheel hub packaging material can achieve the positioning and packaging of five wheel hubs. This results in a notch on both the left and right sides of the wheel hub packaging material, and the width of the wheel hub packaging material is significantly smaller than the width of wheel hub packaging materials in the prior art. Therefore, when two wheel hub packaging materials are laid flat inside the container, as... Figure 5 As shown, one of the wheel cladding materials can be inverted, and the two wheel cladding materials can be spliced together along their length. This allows the protrusions and notches of adjacent wheel cladding materials to nest and fit together after splicing, fully utilizing the space created during splicing. This increases the number of wheel cladding materials that can be positioned when laid flat. It should be noted that in some embodiments, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a single partition 1 is used to locate five wheel hubs as an example. In other embodiments, when a larger partition is used, the number of wheel hubs located by a single partition 1 can also be increased. Of course, when a smaller partition is used, the number of wheel hubs located by a single partition 1 can also be decreased. In this embodiment, regardless of how the size of the partition 1 increases or decreases, the vertical distance between each first straight segment 1431 and the uniquely corresponding second straight segment 1441 in a single partition 1 must decrease sequentially from the front side 141 to the rear side 142.
[0027] Additionally, as a preferred embodiment, in other embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the parts where the left side 143 of the partition 1 connects to the front side 141 and the rear side 142 are rounded. Meanwhile, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the parts where the right side 144 connects to the front side 141 and the rear side 142 also use rounded transitions, so that there are no sharp parts along the circumference of the partition 1, thereby protecting the wheel hub positioned on the partition 1 and preventing the wheel hub from being scratched during packaging.
[0028] Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that in some other embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the partition 1 also includes at least one upper positioning structure 11 and at least one lower positioning structure 15. Each upper positioning structure 11 is disposed on the top side 12, and each lower positioning structure 15 is disposed on the bottom side 13, and each upper positioning structure 11 and each lower positioning structure 15 is used to position the wheel hub 10 respectively.
[0029] Furthermore, in order for the upper positioning structure 11 to achieve positioning of the wheel hub 10, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper positioning structure 11 includes an upper positioning groove 111 and a boss 112. The upper positioning groove 111 is located on the top side 12 of the partition 1. This upper positioning groove 111 is for being embedded into one end face of the wheel hub 10, and the groove wall of the upper positioning groove 111 is a first upper positioning surface 113 that can fit against the outer rim 102 of the wheel hub 10. Next, as... Figure 1 As shown, the boss 112 is surrounded by the upper positioning groove 111, and the boss 112 is used to enter the cavity 103 of the wheel hub 10 when one side end face of the wheel hub 10 is embedded in the upper positioning groove 111. Furthermore, the side of the boss 112 relative to the first upper positioning surface 113 is a second upper positioning surface 114 that can fit with the inner ring 104 of the rim of the wheel hub 10.
[0030] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, in some other embodiments, it is combined with Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the boss 112 is also eccentrically positioned with the upper positioning groove 111, and when the boss 112 enters the cavity 103 of the hub 10, as... Figure 3 As shown, the first upper positioning surface 113 and the second upper positioning surface 114 are partially engaged with the outer rim 102 and the inner rim 104 of the wheel hub 10, respectively, so that the wheel hub 10 can be clamped and positioned in the upper positioning groove 111. It is easy to see that since the boss 112 and the upper positioning groove 111 are eccentrically arranged, and the boss 112 and the upper positioning groove 111 can position two different sizes of wheel hub 10 respectively, when the outer rim 102 of one size of wheel hub 10 is engaged with the first upper positioning surface 113 of the upper positioning groove 111, the second upper positioning surface 114 of the boss 112 can also partially engage with the inner rim 104 of that size of wheel hub 10, thereby achieving clamping of that size of wheel hub 10 and meeting the positioning requirements of that size of wheel hub 10 in the upper positioning groove 111. Similarly, when the inner rim 104 of a wheel hub 10 of another size is in contact with the second upper positioning surface 114 of the boss 112, the first upper positioning surface 113 of the upper positioning groove 111 can partially contact the outer rim 102 of the wheel hub 10, thereby achieving clamping of the wheel hub 10 of that size and meeting the positioning requirements of the wheel hub of that size in the upper positioning groove 111. It is easy to see that since the first upper positioning surface 113 and the second upper positioning surface 114 can both be in contact with the outer rim 102 and the inner rim 104 of the wheel hub 10 of different sizes respectively when positioning wheel hubs 10, it can not only meet the positioning requirements of the two different sizes of wheel hubs 10 on the partition 1, but also prevent the wheel hub 10 from shifting on the partition 1 and from vibrating and / or shaking during transportation, thereby reducing the probability of wear or damage to the wheel hub.
[0031] For example, in some embodiments, the upper positioning structure 11 can position two different sizes of wheel hubs 10, for example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the large-sized wheel hub 10 can be positioned via the first upper positioning surface 113 of the upper positioning groove 111, while the small-sized wheel hub 10 can be positioned via the second upper positioning surface 114 of the boss 112. Specifically, when the boss 112 passes through the cavity 103 of the large-sized wheel hub 10, it combines with... Figure 3As shown, at this time, most of the area of the first upper positioning surface 113 can fit against the outer ring 102 of the wheel hub 10, while part of the second upper positioning surface 114 of the boss 112 is separated from the inner ring 104 of the wheel hub 10, while another part can fit against the inner ring 104 of the wheel hub 10. This allows the wheel hub 10 of this size to be clamped by the first upper positioning surface 113 and the second upper positioning surface 114 and positioned within the upper positioning groove 111. Similarly, when the boss 112 passes through the cavity 103 of the small-sized wheel hub 10, it combines... Figure 3 As shown, at this time, most of the area of the second upper positioning surface 114 can fit with the inner ring 104 of the wheel hub 10, while at this time, part of the first upper positioning surface 113 of the upper positioning groove 111 is separated from the outer ring 102 of the wheel hub 10, and another part can fit with the outer ring 102 of the wheel hub 10. This allows the wheel hub 10 of this size to be clamped by the first upper positioning surface 113 and the second upper positioning surface 114 and positioned in the upper positioning groove 111.
[0032] Additionally, in other embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lower positioning structure 15 includes a lower positioning groove 151 and a plurality of positioning protrusions 152. The lower positioning groove 151 is disposed on the bottom side 13 and is used to be embedded into one end face of another wheel hub 10. The groove wall of the lower positioning groove 151 is a first lower positioning surface 154 that fits against the outer rim 102 of the wheel hub 10. Furthermore, each positioning protrusion 152 is arranged around the axis of the lower positioning groove 151 on the bottom side 13 of the partition 1, and each positioning protrusion 152 forms a positioning space that can be embedded into the wheel hub 10. Each positioning protrusion 152 has a second lower positioning surface 153 that fits against the outer rim 102 of the wheel hub 10.
[0033] For example, after the small-sized wheel hub 10 is positioned on the upper positioning groove 111 of the partition 1, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom side 13 of another partition 1 can be placed over the other end face of the wheel hub 10, so that the other end face of the wheel hub 10 can be embedded into the lower positioning groove 151 of the partition 1, and the first lower positioning surface 154 of the lower positioning groove 151 can fit against the outer rim 102 of the wheel hub 10, so that the small-sized wheel hub 10 can be positioned between the two partitions 1, thereby completing the packaging of the wheel hub 10. Similarly, after the large-sized wheel hub 10 is positioned on the upper positioning groove 111 of the partition 1, as... Figure 3 As shown, the bottom side 13 of another partition 1 can be placed on the other end face of the hub 10, so that the hub 10 can fit with the second lower positioning surface 153 of each positioning protrusion 152, so that the large-size hub 10 can be positioned between the two partitions 1, thereby completing the packaging of the hub 10.
[0034] Additionally, as a preferred embodiment, in other embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the boss 112 is formed by pressing the bottom side 13 of the partition 1 towards the top side 12, so that the bottom side 13 of the partition 1 can form a lower positioning groove 151, making the boss 112 and the partition 1 a whole. Without affecting the positioning of the wheel hub 10 by the boss 112, the weight of the partition 1 will not be increased since no parts are added to the partition 1, thus making it convenient for users to handle and transport the packaged wheel hub 10.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] Embodiment 2 of this utility model relates to a wheel hub cladding material, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the wheel hub cladding includes at least one partition 1, cover plate 2, and tray 3 as described in Embodiment 1.
[0037] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, when multiple partitions 1 are provided, each partition 1 is arranged sequentially along the vertical direction, and the space between each pair of adjacent partitions 1 is used to position the hub 10. Next, a cover plate 2 is provided on the top side 12 of the uppermost partition 1 and positioned thereon. Additionally, a tray 3 is provided on the bottom side 13 of the lowermost partition 1 and positioned thereon. Furthermore, the cover plate 2 and the tray 3 have the same shape as the partitions 1.
[0038] It is easy to see from the above that, since the perimeter 14 of the partition 1 includes: a front side 141, a rear side 142 opposite to the front side 141, a left side 143 and a right side 144 connecting the front side 141 and the rear side 142, and the length of the front side 141 is greater than the length of the rear side 142, the left side 143 and the right side 144 extend at least partially from one end connected to the front side 141 to the other end in a direction that approaches each other. Furthermore, since the cover plate 2 and the pallet 3 of the wheel hub packaging material have the same shape as the partition 1, the entire wheel hub packaging material has a wing-shaped irregular structure. This allows each two adjacent wheel hub packaging materials to be nested and staggered when placed in the container, thus effectively increasing the number of wheel hubs that can be supported when multiple wheel hub packaging materials are laid flat. Compared with the current ocean shipping container loading method, this can increase the loading rate by nearly 30%, thereby effectively reducing the transportation cost of wheel hubs.
[0039] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific implementations of the present invention, and in practical applications, various changes can be made to them in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
