Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of packaging equipment, and in particular to a product packaging. Background Technology

[0002] Packaging containers are plastic packaging materials made through processes such as thermoforming. They are mainly used for product protection, separation, and display. They feature good protective effects, strong sealing, and high customizability, and are widely used in packaging and transportation of products such as light panels and batteries.

[0003] However, traditional packaging containers are usually only suitable for products with regular structural designs (such as flat rectangular structures). When used to install products such as light panels with multiple electrical components or batteries with curved surfaces, the product is prone to being squeezed against the inner wall of the packaging container or to relative movement and friction during transportation, which can cause the product to be scratched, and the electrical components on the product to become loose and fall off, affecting the product's safety and service life. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a product packaging solution to address the risks of damage and electrical component detachment associated with traditional technologies, which affect product safety and lifespan.

[0005] This application proposes a product packaging comprising:

[0006] A carrier having a recessed receiving groove for accommodating a product, wherein the sidewall of the receiving groove abuts against the outer periphery of the product, and the bottom wall of the receiving groove has a recessed clearance portion; and

[0007] Multiple supports are provided, which protrude from the bottom wall of the receiving groove and are spaced apart around the outer periphery of the avoidance recess, and are used to abut and support the product.

[0008] In this product packaging solution, a receiving groove is machined into the carrier. This groove can accommodate the product to be packaged, with the outer periphery of the product abutting against the side wall of the groove for proper positioning. Furthermore, because a clearance recess is provided on the bottom wall of the groove, and multiple supports are spaced around the outer periphery of this recess, if the product to be packaged has multiple electrical components or a curved surface, the side of the product with the multiple electrical components or the convex side of the curved surface can be positioned facing the carrier. When the product is placed into the receiving groove, multiple supports can simultaneously abut against the edges of the support sides, and the outer periphery of the product abuts against the circumferential side wall of the receiving groove, thereby restricting the product's freedom of movement in multiple directions and improving the stability of the product's positioning. At this time, the protruding sides of multiple electrical components or curved surfaces can extend into the avoidance recesses, thus preventing them from abutting against the bottom wall of the receiving groove. This avoids the electrical components being squeezed, preventing them from loosening and falling off, or preventing the protruding sides of curved surfaces from moving relative to the bottom wall of the groove and being subjected to friction and wear, thus protecting the product's safety and service life.

[0009] The technical solution of this application will be further described below:

[0010] In one embodiment, the plurality of supports include at least two first supports and at least two second supports, all the first supports and all the second supports are arranged at intervals along a first direction of the carrier, at least two first supports are arranged side by side at intervals along a second direction of the carrier, and at least two second supports are arranged side by side at intervals along a second direction of the carrier; wherein the first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first support and the second support are aligned or misaligned along the first direction.

[0012] In one embodiment, the first support and the second support are provided with contoured portions for abutting the top surface of the product, and the contoured portions are able to fit and contact the surface of the product.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first support and the second support are airbag structures; or, the first support and the second support are provided with elastic telescopic structures.

[0014] In one embodiment, the sidewall of the receiving groove is inclined, and along the direction from the bottom wall of the receiving groove to the opening, the sidewall of the receiving groove is inclined toward the outside of the carrier.

[0015] In one embodiment, the carrier is provided with a reinforcing rib structure, which surrounds and forms the receiving groove.

[0016] In one embodiment, the reinforcing rib structure includes a first reinforcing rib, a second reinforcing rib, and a third reinforcing rib spaced apart along a second direction of the carrier. The first reinforcing rib is recessed to form a first groove, the second reinforcing rib is provided with a notch, the carrier is recessed to form a second groove corresponding to the notch, the second groove communicates with the notch, and the third reinforcing rib is recessed to form a third groove.

[0017] Wherein, a receiving groove is provided between the first reinforcing rib and the second reinforcing rib, and a receiving groove is provided between the second reinforcing rib and the third reinforcing rib.

[0018] In one embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the reinforcing rib structure is recessed to form a plurality of spaced grooves.

[0019] In one embodiment, when the product is a light panel, the support is used to abut against the magnetic posts on the light panel one by one. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Traditional product packaging 100 is usually only suitable for installing products 200 with regular structural designs (such as planar rectangular structures). When used to install products 200 such as lamp panels 200a with multiple electrical components or batteries with curved surfaces, the product 200 is prone to being squeezed against the inner wall of the product packaging 100 or relative movement and friction during transportation, which can cause the product 200 to be scratched, and the electrical components on the product 200 to become loose and fall off, affecting the safety and service life of the product 200.

[0035] To address the aforementioned issues, this application designs and manufactures a stepped sink structure on the carrier 10 of the product packaging 100, formed by a receiving groove 11 and a relief recess 12. Simultaneously, multiple supports 20 are provided on the outer periphery of the relief recess 12. When the product 200 is placed in the receiving groove 11, the sidewall of the receiving groove 11 abuts against the periphery of the product 200, and the multiple supports 20 simultaneously abut against the side of the product 200, achieving a good positioning effect. At the same time, multiple electrical components or protruding curved surfaces on the product 200 can extend into the relief recess 12, thus avoiding contact with the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11. This prevents electrical components from being squeezed, preventing them from loosening and falling off, or preventing the protruding curved surfaces from moving relative to the bottom wall of the groove and suffering frictional wear, protecting the safety and lifespan of the product 200.

[0036] See Figure 1 This application illustrates a product packaging 100 according to an embodiment, comprising a carrier 10 and multiple supports 20. The carrier 10 is the main structure of the product packaging 100, primarily serving to load and position the product 200. For example, the carrier 10 can be a box, specifically, but not limited to, a blister box. Blister boxes are simple to process and form, have low manufacturing costs, and good performance.

[0037] More specifically, the carrier 10 is made of transparent plastic.

[0038] Of course, in other optional embodiments, the carrier 10 can also be a foam box, a cardboard box, etc., which can be flexibly selected according to actual needs, and will not be elaborated here.

[0039] The external structure of the carrier 10 can be, but is not limited to, any one of the following: cuboid, cylinder, etc.

[0040] Please continue reading. Figure 1 The carrier 10 has a recessed receiving groove 11 for accommodating the product 200, and the sidewall of the receiving groove 11 abuts against the outer periphery of the product 200. It is easy to understand that the shape and size of the receiving groove 11 should correspond one-to-one with the shape and size of the product 200, thus preventing the product 200 from being loose and unable to be securely installed after being placed in the receiving groove 11.

[0041] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11 is recessed to form a relief recess 12. Specifically, the relief recess 12 has a cavity structure design. A plurality of supports 20 protrude from the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11, and the plurality of supports 20 are spaced apart around the outer periphery of the relief recess 12, and are used to abut and support the product 200.

[0042] In summary, implementing the technical solution of this embodiment will achieve the following beneficial effects: In the product packaging 100 of this solution, by processing a receiving groove 11 on the carrier 10, the receiving groove 11 can install and accommodate the product 200 to be packaged. At this time, the outer periphery of the product 200 abuts against the side wall of the receiving groove 11 to achieve the installation and positioning of the product 200. On this basis, since an avoidance recess 12 is provided on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11, and multiple supports 20 are spaced around the outer periphery of the avoidance recess 12, if the product 200 to be packaged is a product with multiple electrical components or a curved surface, the side of the product 200 with multiple electrical components or the curved surface can be accommodated. The product 200 is placed in the receiving groove 11 with the convex side of the curved surface facing the carrier 10. At this time, multiple supports 20 can simultaneously abut against the edge of the support side, and cooperate with the outer periphery of the product 200 to abut against the circumferential side wall of the receiving groove 11, thereby restricting the multiple degrees of freedom of the product 200 and improving the positioning stability of the product 200. At this time, multiple electrical components or the convex side of the curved surface can extend into the avoidance recess 12, so as not to abut against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11. This can prevent the electrical components from being squeezed, prevent them from loosening and falling off, or prevent the convex side of the curved surface from moving relative to the bottom wall of the groove and being subjected to friction and wear, thus protecting the safety and service life of the product 200.

[0043] It should be noted that when the product 200 mentioned in this application has multiple electrical components, the product 200 can be a lamp board 200a, and the multiple electrical components can be components such as lamp beads, capacitors, resistors, and sockets mounted on the lamp board 200a. When the product 200 mentioned in this application has a curved surface, the product 200 can be any one of the following: lamp board 200a, battery cells, glass panel, etc.

[0044] Please continue reading. Figure 1 Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment, a plurality of supports 20 include at least two first supports 21 and at least two second supports 22. All the first supports 21 and all the second supports 22 are arranged at intervals along the first direction of the carrier 10. At least two first supports 21 are arranged side by side at intervals along the second direction of the carrier 10, and at least two second supports 22 are arranged side by side at intervals along the second direction of the carrier 10. The first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0045] Specifically, the first direction can refer to the width direction of the carrier 10; the second direction can refer to the length direction of the carrier 10, with the length direction arranged perpendicular to the width direction.

[0046] At least two first supports 21 are arranged relatively centrally on one side of the clearance recess 12 along the first direction, and at least two second supports 22 are arranged relatively centrally on the other side of the clearance recess 12 along the first direction. On the one hand, this can satisfy the function of providing multi-point support for the product 200 and improving the positioning effect. On the other hand, it can also make the first and second supports close together and opposite to and abut against the blank area or non-functional area on the side of the product 200, so as to avoid interference and squeezing contact with the electrical components and functional areas on the product 200, and ensure the safety of the product 200 placed in the carrier 10.

[0047] For example, in this application Figure 1 The illustration shows an embodiment where three first support bodies 21 and three second support bodies 22 are provided. However, it should be noted that this should not be taken as a limitation on the number of first support bodies 21 and second support bodies 22. In practical applications, the number of both should be flexibly set according to needs.

[0048] Furthermore, based on any of the above embodiments, the first support 21 and the second support 22 are aligned or staggered along the first direction. By flexibly aligning or staggering the first support 21 and the second support 22 along the first direction, the distribution positions of electrical components or functional areas on different products 200 can be flexibly avoided, thereby improving the applicability of the product packaging 100.

[0049] It is easy to understand that when two objects are in contact, with one object providing support and positioning for the other, the support stability of surface contact is significantly better than that of point and line contact. Based on this, in another embodiment, the first support 21 and the second support 22 are provided with contoured portions for abutting the top surface of the product 200, which can conform to the surface of the product 200. For a product 200 with a curved surface, the contoured portions provided on the first support 21 and the second support 22 can better adapt to and conform to the curved surface structure to obtain a larger surface-to-surface contact area, thereby helping to improve the support and positioning effect of the product 200.

[0050] In practical use, after product 200 is installed in product packaging 100, product 200 and product packaging 100 will often enter the transportation or handling process together. At this time, it is difficult to avoid vibration and impact on product packaging 100. To prevent product 200 from being damaged, in an optional embodiment, the first support body 21 and the second support body 22 adopt an airbag structure; or, the first support body 21 and the second support body 22 are provided with an elastic telescopic structure. With such a configuration, both the first support body 21 and the second support body 22 have excellent buffering and shock absorption capabilities, which can effectively isolate vibration and impact from being transmitted to product 200, protecting the safety of product 200.

[0051] In this application, the use of product packaging 100 to load product 200 has several specific implementation methods. Taking product 200 as a lamp panel 200a as an example, in a first feasible implementation, a single lamp panel 200a may be placed in the receiving groove 11 of the carrier 10.

[0052] In a second feasible implementation, two or more lamp panels 200a can be placed in the receiving groove 11 of the carrier 10 in a stacked manner. However, in this case, a soft spacer needs to be placed between the two adjacent lamp panels 200a to prevent them from being squeezed or damaged by collision.

[0053] In a third feasible implementation, the lamp board 200a and the circuit board can be assembled and fixed together as one unit, and then placed together into the receiving groove 11 of the carrier 10. Generally speaking, the size of the circuit board is larger than the size of the lamp board 200a, that is, the four edges of the circuit board will extend beyond the four edges of the lamp board 200a. During installation, the lamp board 200a is arranged facing the box, and then the lamp board 200a and the circuit board are installed together into the receiving groove 11.

[0054] Please continue reading. Figure 4 Based on the above, in one embodiment, the sidewall of the receiving groove 11 is inclined, and along the direction from the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11 to the opening, the sidewall of the receiving groove 11 is inclined towards the outside of the carrier 10. For the case where the lamp board 200a and the circuit board are installed together in the receiving groove 11, the inclined sidewall can abut against the outer peripheral edge of the circuit board, thereby restricting the freedom of the circuit board and the lamp board 200a in the XY plane, and preventing the lamp board 200a from directly contacting the sidewall. Simultaneously, multiple supports 20 abut against the surface of the lamp board 200a, thus providing Z-axis positioning for the lamp board 200a and the circuit board. Therefore, even if vibration or impact acts on the product packaging 100, it is not easy for the lamp board 200a and the circuit board to undergo relative displacement, leading to solder joint pull damage and connection failure.

[0055] Please continue reading. Figure 1 Furthermore, based on any of the above embodiments, the carrier 10 is provided with a reinforcing rib structure 30, which surrounds and forms a receiving groove 11. The reinforcing rib structure 30 can significantly improve the overall structural strength and compressive strength of the carrier 10, preventing easy deformation that could damage the product 200 contained in the receiving groove 11. In addition, when multiple product packages 100, each containing the product 200, are stacked and installed in a packaging box, the adjacent product packages 100 can be supported by the contact of the reinforcing rib structure 30 to bear the pressure, preventing the product 200 from being damaged by pressure.

[0056] In the present application, the carrier 10 has a base material, the reinforcing rib structure 30 is integrally formed on the base material through processes such as stamping, and the reinforcing rib structure 30 is formed as a Japanese-character shaped structure.

[0057] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , more specifically, in one embodiment, the reinforcing rib structure 30 includes a first reinforcing rib 31, a second reinforcing rib 32 and a third reinforcing rib 33 that are spaced apart along the second direction of the carrier 10, the first reinforcing rib 31 is recessed to form a first groove 311, the second reinforcing rib 32 is provided with a notch, the portion of the carrier 10 corresponding to the notch is recessed to form a second groove 321, the second groove 321 is communicated with the notch, and the third reinforcing rib 33 is recessed to form a third groove 331.

[0058] Wherein, one accommodating groove 11 is provided between the first reinforcing rib 31 and the second reinforcing rib 32, and one accommodating groove 11 is provided between the second reinforcing rib 32 and the third reinforcing rib 33.

[0059] Two accommodating grooves 11 are formed on the carrier 10 at the same time, which can accommodate and install two light boards 200a at the same time, improve the bearing capacity, and improve the utilization efficiency of the product package 100. In addition, during installation, workers can put the light boards 200a into the accommodating grooves 11 synchronously with both hands, avoiding the problem of packing omission. The first groove 311, the second groove 321 and the third groove 331 provide space for accommodating hands, so that it is more convenient to pick and place the light boards 200a.

[0060] Further, in one embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the reinforcing rib structure 30 is recessed to form a plurality of spaced-apart slots 34. As described above, when a plurality of product packages 100 are stacked and installed into the packaging box, the slots 34 provide operating space for hands, which facilitates putting or taking out the product packages 100 into or out of the packaging box. And slots 34 are arranged at different orientations of the carrier 10, so that workers can conveniently pick and place the product packages 100 at different positions of the packaging box randomly, which improves the operation flexibility and user experience.

[0061] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , it should be noted that when the product 200 is a light board 200a, the supporting bodies 20 are configured to abut against the magnetic columns 210a on the light board 200a in one-to-one correspondence. The magnetic columns 210a are generally protruded to a certain height on the board surface of the light board 200a, by abutting the magnetic columns 210a against the supporting bodies 20 that generally protrude from the groove bottom wall of the accommodating groove 11, the suspended height of the installed light board 200a can be further increased, so that electrical components with greater heights can be installed on the light board 200a, so that the electrical components extend into the avoiding recess 12 without being squeezed and damaged.

[0062] 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.

[0063] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
