Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to an inflatable air column buffer. [Background Technology]

[0002] Inflatable air column bags, as a common packaging and protective material, are widely used in logistics and transportation to protect fragile items, precision instruments, and other products. Traditional air column bags are typically made by heat-sealing multiple independent air columns from a plastic film. The protective function is provided by the structure of the inflated air columns. By making the air column bags into the style of packaging bags, the items are packaged inside.

[0003] Because air column bags provide cushioning and shock absorption, we tried bending them and wrapping them around the corners of items. This would protect the items, act as corner protectors, and even serve as foot pads. However, directly bending the air column bag makes it very difficult to bend the air column itself. The common practice is to create a single-point bending line between the air columns, allowing the bag to bend at a certain angle to adapt to the shape of the packaged item. However, this structure has significant drawbacks in practical use: when the air column bag needs to wrap around the corners of an item, the single-point bending causes the two air columns to abut against each other after bending, creating structural interference. This interference not only makes it difficult for the air column bag to fit tightly against the corners of the item, reducing the cushioning effect, but also leads to stress concentration at the bends during repeated bending, accelerating membrane fatigue and rupture, and affecting the product's lifespan.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of inflatable air column buffer that can avoid the problem of air column units obstructing each other caused by right-angle bending, improve the wrapping of the corners of the items, and enhance the fatigue resistance of the bent parts to meet the higher requirements of packaging protection.

[0005] To address the above problems, this application proposes a new technical solution. [Utility Model Content]

[0006] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this utility model proposes an inflatable air column buffer, and the technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0007] An inflatable air column buffer is a long sheet-shaped buffer made of a plastic film material with several air columns. Multiple rows of air column units are arranged from top to bottom on the surface of the buffer. Each row of air column units has multiple air columns, and two adjacent air columns are arranged in a row corresponding to each other. A bendable connecting part is formed between two adjacent air columns. The connecting part has at least two bending points arranged vertically at intervals. The long sheet-shaped buffer can be bent along the connecting part through the bending points.

[0008] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an inflatable air column buffer body is provided, wherein the bending point is a molding point.

[0009] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an inflatable air column buffer body is provided in which the molding point does not block the connection between adjacent air columns, and among the multiple air columns arranged in a row, two adjacent air columns are connected.

[0010] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an inflatable air column buffer body is provided, wherein the molding point is located in the middle, on one side or on both sides of two air columns and has an air passage therein.

[0011] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an inflatable air column buffer body is provided with a plurality of sealing molding lines along the length direction of the buffer body on the surface of the buffer body, and two adjacent sealing molding lines form a separate air cavity. On each separate air cavity, a plurality of sets of molding and bending isolation strips are provided at intervals from top to bottom to form a plurality of air columns arranged in rows at intervals.

[0012] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an inflatable air column buffer body is provided, wherein each of the multiple sets of molded and bent isolation strips consists of multiple molding points set between the upper and lower air columns.

[0013] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an inflatable air column buffer body has a sealing embossed edge on the outer edge of the buffer body.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] In this invention, at least two bending points are provided between the upper and lower air columns. This allows the upper and lower air column units to bend along these two bending points, forming a relative clamping space to adapt to the contour of the packaged item. Furthermore, the connection between the two bending points forms a buffer transition section. This buffer transition section deforms in an arc or stepped shape during bending, creating a larger bending clearance space. Thus, the upper and lower air column units are not bent at right angles; they are staggered to avoid mutual interference. After bending, the upper and lower air column units will not abut against each other, preventing a rigid obstruction at the bending point and ensuring a tight fit to the edges and contours of the packaged item, thus reducing the cushioning effect. This buffer is easy to bend and can fit tightly to the edges and contours of the packaged item during use, providing excellent cushioning and impact protection. Attached Figure Description

[0026] This utility model provides an inflatable air column buffer, such as Figure 1 ,2 As shown in Figure 3, it is a long sheet-shaped buffer body made of a plastic film material with several air columns 20; a sealing and imprinting edge 10 is provided on the outer edge of the buffer body; multiple air column units are provided on the surface of the buffer body from top to bottom, each air column unit has multiple air columns 20, and two adjacent air columns 20 are arranged in a row corresponding to each other; a bendable connecting part is formed between two adjacent air columns 20, and at least two bending points are provided at intervals in the vertical direction of the connecting part. Through the bending points, the long sheet-shaped buffer body can be bent along the connecting part.

[0027] In this invention, at least two bending points are provided between the upper and lower air columns 20. This allows the upper and lower air column units to bend along these two bending points, forming a relative clamping space to adapt to the contour of the packaged item. Furthermore, the connection between the two bending points forms a buffer transition section. This buffer transition section deforms in an arc or stepped shape during bending, creating a larger bending clearance space. Thus, the upper and lower air column units are not bent at right angles; they are staggered to avoid mutual interference. After bending, the upper and lower air column units will not abut against each other, preventing a rigid obstruction at the bending point and ensuring a tight fit to the edges and corners of the packaged item, thus reducing the cushioning effect. This buffer body is easy to bend and can fit tightly to the edges and corners of the packaged item during use, providing excellent cushioning and impact protection. It also enhances the fatigue resistance of the bending area to meet higher packaging protection requirements.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bending point is molding point 30, as... Figure 1 , 3 As shown, after bending, an air bladder 40 is formed between the two molding points 30, providing cushioning protection at the connection.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the molding point 30 does not block the connection between adjacent air columns 20. Among the multiple air columns 20 arranged in a row, two adjacent air columns 20 are connected. The molding point 30 is located in the middle of two air columns 20 and has an air passage inside it.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, several sealing molding lines 50 are provided on the surface of the buffer body along the length direction of the buffer body. Two adjacent sealing molding lines 50 form a separate air cavity. On each separate air cavity, multiple sets of molding bending isolation strips are arranged from top to bottom to form multiple air columns 20 arranged in rows. Each set of molding bending isolation strips consists of multiple molding points 30 arranged between two upper and lower air columns 20. The molding points 30 are located in the middle of the two air columns 20 and have air passages in them, so that the air passages between the upper and lower air columns 20 are connected to form a separate air cavity.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, the buffer is an application of an air column bag. It should be understood that how to inflate the air column bag and distribute it to each air column 20 is within the scope of existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0032] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments in this disclosure is for explanation only and not for limiting the present invention, but rather the scope of protection is defined by the content of the claims.
