[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0021] The following is for reference. Figures 1-19 The packaging structure 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0022] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the packaging structure 100 according to the first aspect of the present invention includes: an outer box 10, a bottom tray 20, a door support 30, and a top cushioning member 40.

[0023] Specifically, the outer box 10 is a closed box shape, and defines an inner space 11 for accommodating the dishwasher 200; the bottom support 20 is disposed on the bottom wall of the accommodating space 11 and is adapted to support the bottom of the dishwasher 200; the door support 30 is disposed in the accommodating space 11 and arranged in front of the bottom support 20, and the door support 30 is adapted to support the lower side of the door 210 of the dishwasher 200; the top buffer 40 is disposed between the top wall of the accommodating space 11 and the top of the dishwasher 200.

[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the outer box 10 is a closed rectangular box shape. The material of the outer box 10 can be different materials such as paper, plastic, wood or metal. The size of the outer box 10 is specifically set according to the shape of the dishwasher 200 to be packaged. The inner side of the outer box 10 defines an accommodating space 11 that matches the shape of the dishwasher 200, ensuring that there is no large amount of shaking after the dishwasher 200 is placed in, and preventing the dishwasher 200 from having visible displacement relative to the outer box 10.

[0025] The base tray 20 is placed on the bottom wall of the accommodating space 11 (i.e. the bottom surface inside the outer box 10) to support the dishwasher 200 at the bottom. The base tray 20 can absorb the impact force transmitted from the bottom during transportation through its own deformation, playing an effective cushioning and protection role, protecting the bottom parts of the dishwasher 200 and ensuring the stability of the packaging.

[0026] The door support 30 is located within the accommodating space 11 and is fixed to the front side of the base 20. The support height of the door support 30 is adapted to the thickness of the base 20 and the lower height of the door body 210 of the dishwasher 200. It can be properly supported on the lower side of the door body 210 of the dishwasher 200, preventing the door body 210 of the dishwasher 200 from sagging due to its own weight or damage to the door hinge due to transportation bumps.

[0027] The top buffer 40 is placed between the top wall of the accommodating space 11 (i.e. the inner top surface of the outer box 10) and the top of the dishwasher 200. After assembly, the upper surface of the top buffer 40 can fit against the top wall of the outer box 10, and the lower surface can fit against the top of the dishwasher 200. This can absorb the impact force transmitted from above during transportation and prevent damage to the top parts of the dishwasher 200.

[0028] The packaging structure 100 of the above embodiment only uses three parts—a bottom support 20, a door support 30, and a top buffer 40—within the outer box 10 to support and protect the dishwasher 200. Compared with more complicated packaging structures or fully enclosed packaging structures, this embodiment can reduce the amount of materials used and lower packaging costs.

[0029] According to the packaging structure 100 of this utility model embodiment, the bottom, door 210 and top of the dishwasher 200 are protected by three components: a bottom support 20, a door support 30 and a top buffer 40. The bottom support 20, door support 30 and top buffer 40 can jointly form a wrap-around support and buffer for the dishwasher 200. This can optimize the design of the packaging structure 100, reduce the amount of materials used, reduce packaging costs, and at the same time improve the protective performance of the packaging for the dishwasher 200, realize the efficient coordination of packaging components, and achieve the efficiency and economy of packaging design.

[0030] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 16-19 As shown, the top buffer 40 may include a buffer body 41 and a reinforcing member 42. The buffer body 41 is a plate-shaped foam component; the reinforcing member 42 is fixed to the buffer body 41, and its structural strength is greater than that of the buffer body 41. The buffer body 41 is a one-piece molded rectangular plate shape, with dimensions consistent with the length and width of the accommodating space 11 of the outer casing 10. It is made of foam material, which is lightweight, low-cost, and provides basic cushioning performance. In addition, multiple first weight-reducing holes 411 are provided on the buffer body 41 to further reduce material and transportation costs. The reinforcing member 42 is fixed to the buffer body 41, and its structural strength is greater than that of the buffer body 41, which can prevent the top buffer 40 from deforming under pressure and prevent the top of the dishwasher 200 from being compressed.

[0031] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 16-19 As shown, there are multiple reinforcing members 42, which are arranged at intervals on the buffer body 41; and / or, the reinforcing members 42 are made of wood; and / or, the reinforcing members 42 extend into long strips, with both ends of the reinforcing members 42 extending to the left and right edges of the buffer body 41 respectively.

[0032] In some examples, there are multiple reinforcing members 42; for example, there can be two, three, four, or more. By arranging the reinforcing members 42 at intervals on the buffer body 41, with a gap between adjacent reinforcing members 42, it can be ensured that the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing members 42 on the buffer body 41 is evenly covered.

[0033] In some examples, the reinforcing member 42 is made of wood. High-density wood strips, i.e., reinforcing members 42, are embedded in the buffer body 41. The wood reinforcing member 42, which has a structural strength (bending resistance and compressive resistance) that is much higher than that of the buffer body 41, forms a dual protection of "soft buffer + hard support". This not only makes the packaging structure 100 lightweight, but also avoids the top buffer member 40 from being squeezed and deformed, thereby enhancing the overall impact resistance and compressive strength of the packaging structure 100.

[0034] In some examples, the reinforcing member 42 extends into a long, rod-like shape. The reinforcing member 42 can extend in the left-right direction, with both ends extending to the left and right edges of the buffer body 41, respectively. Alternatively, the reinforcing member 42 can be inclined relative to the buffer body 41. Specifically, in conjunction with... Figure 16 As shown, the reinforcing member 42 can extend obliquely from the front left to the rear right of the buffer body 41. The left end of the reinforcing member 42 can extend to the front or left edge of the buffer body 41, and the right end of the reinforcing member 42 can extend to the right or rear edge of the buffer body 41. In this way, the deformation resistance of the reinforcing member 42 can act on the entire buffer body 41 without any reinforcement blind spots. Since both ends of the reinforcing member 42 extend to the left and right edges of the buffer body 41, when the top of the outer box 10 is under pressure, the reinforcing member 42 can spread the concentrated load laterally to the entire side wall of the box, avoiding local damage to the foam board.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 16-19 As shown, the upper surface of the buffer body 41 may be provided with multiple positioning grooves 43, and the reinforcing member 42 is disposed within the positioning grooves 43. This allows for precise fixing of the reinforcing member 42, improving the assembly efficiency between the reinforcing member 42 and the buffer body 41. For example, the upper surface of the buffer body 41 (i.e., the side facing the top wall of the receiving space 11) is provided with multiple positioning grooves 43. The number and position of the positioning grooves 43 correspond one-to-one with the reinforcing member 42, and the size of each positioning groove 43 is adapted to the reinforcing member 42. The reinforcing member 42 is precisely embedded within the positioning groove 43, preventing the reinforcing member 42 from sliding relative to the buffer body 41.

[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 16-19 As shown, the positioning groove 43 can be formed by recessing downwards from the upper surface of the buffer body 41; and / or, the reinforcing member 42 is bonded to the inner wall of the positioning groove 43. The positioning groove 43 is integrally formed by recessing downwards from the upper surface of the buffer body 41, eliminating the need for additional cutting or splicing, thus simplifying the processing flow. The downward recess of the positioning groove 43 reduces the space occupied by the reinforcing member 42 on the upper side of the buffer body 41, lowering the height of the packaging structure 100 and improving space utilization. The outer peripheral wall of the reinforcing member 42 is bonded to the inner wall of the positioning groove 43, effectively preventing the reinforcing member 42 from falling off due to transportation bumps, further ensuring the reliable fixation of the reinforcing member 42.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 16-19As shown, the front and rear sides of the buffer body 41 can be provided with downwardly extending guard edges 44. The two guard edges 44 are respectively located between the front and rear surfaces of the dishwasher 200 and the front and rear side walls of the receiving space 11. The front and rear sides of the buffer body 41 (i.e., the two sides corresponding to the front and rear surfaces of the dishwasher 200) each have integrally formed downwardly extending guard edges 44. The guard edges 44 are integrally formed with the buffer body 41 during foaming and are bent downward at 90°. After assembly, when the top buffer 40 is placed on the dishwasher 200, the two guard edges 44 are respectively located between the front surface of the dishwasher 200 and the front side wall (front inner wall of the outer box 10) of the receiving space 11, and between the rear surface of the dishwasher 200 and the rear side wall (rear inner wall of the outer box 10). Thus, the two guard edges 44 can further restrict the back-and-forth shaking of the dishwasher 200 in the receiving space 11, play a secondary cushioning role, and improve packaging stability.

[0038] The top buffer 40 in the above embodiment fills the gap between the top wall of the outer casing 10 and the top of the dishwasher 200. The buffer body 41 and the reinforcing member 42 form a dual protection of soft cushioning and hard support, used to absorb the impact force from above during transportation, protect the top components of the dishwasher 200, and meet the protection requirements of the top of the dishwasher 200. In packaging tests, this design can significantly improve the resistance of the packaging structure 100 to external impacts and pressures, effectively ensuring the integrity and transportation safety of the internal dishwasher 200, and meeting higher protection requirements. At the same time, the reinforcing member 42 is made of wood strips, which can reduce weight and cost, and can also be put into the pulping process as a whole with the foam board, achieving recyclability without increasing the difficulty of recycling.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 12-15 As shown, the door support 30 can be a one-piece molded foam component, extending in a long strip along the left and right directions. The door support 30 is made of foam material in one piece, eliminating the need for splicing and ensuring high structural stability. Furthermore, the door support 30 extends in a long strip along the left and right directions of the dishwasher 200 (i.e., the length direction of the door body 210), and the total length of the door support 30 is consistent with the lower length of the door body 210 of the dishwasher 200, ensuring uniform force distribution on the lower side of the door body 210 and preventing any localized unsupported areas.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 12-15 As shown, the door support 30 may include: a plurality of support bodies 31 and a connecting portion 32. The plurality of support bodies 31 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. Each support body 31 includes a vertical section 311 and a horizontal section 312. The vertical section 311 is connected to the horizontal section 312 and extends upward. The upper end of the vertical section 311 supports the lower surface of the door body 210. The connecting portion 32 extends in the left-right direction and is connected to the horizontal section 312 of the plurality of support bodies 31.

[0041] There are multiple support bodies 31, for example, two, three, four or more. These support bodies 31 are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction, with a gap between adjacent support bodies 31 to ensure support density while preventing excessive weight of the door support 30. Each support body 31 is L-shaped, including an integrally connected vertical section 311 and a horizontal section 312. The lower end of the vertical section 311 is integrally connected to the front end of the horizontal section 312 and extends vertically upwards. The upper surface of the vertical section 311 is flat and rests on the lower surface of the door 210 of the dishwasher 200. The connecting part 32 extends horizontally along the left-right direction and is integrated with the horizontal section 312 of the multiple support bodies 31. The door support 30 is entirely supported on the lower side of the door 210 of the dishwasher 200, preventing the door 210 from sagging due to its own weight or damage to the door hinges caused by transportation bumps.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 12-15 As shown, the upper end of the vertical section 311 is used to support the hinge of the door body 210; and / or, the door support 30 is arranged on the upper surface of the base 20.

[0043] In some examples, the vertical segment 311 of the support body 31 is supported below the hinge of the door 210. The front part of the upper surface of the vertical segment 311 is attached to the lower surface of the door 210, and the rear part of the upper surface of the vertical segment 311 is attached to the lower surface of the hinge fixing plate behind the hinge. The height of the vertical segment 311 in the vertical direction is determined by the available height between the thickness of the base 20 and the lower height of the door 210 of the dishwasher 200. The hinge is a key load-bearing structure for controlling the opening and closing of the door 210. The vertical segment 311, located below the hinge, can support the hinge and directly distribute the pressure of the door 210's own weight on the hinge, preventing the hinge from deforming and damaging the door 210 during transportation. At the same time, the vertical segment 311 and the lower surface of the door 210 are attached, providing support for the door 210.

[0044] In some examples, the door support 30 is located on the upper surface of the base 20, that is, the horizontal segment 312 of the support body 31 is supported on the upper surface of the base 20, the lower surface of the horizontal segment 312 and the upper surface of the base 20 are completely in contact, and the length of the horizontal segment 312 in the front-back direction is determined by the available length between the bottom front surface of the dishwasher 200 and the front surface of the base 20.

[0045] The door support 30 in the above embodiment adopts an integrated structural design, that is, the originally separate foam components are integrated into a single component through design optimization. This simplifies the assembly steps, reduces the need for additional fasteners, and thus significantly reduces production assembly time and cost. At the same time, it also optimizes the structural strength and overall performance of the door support 30.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 8-11 As shown, the base 20 is a foam component; and / or, the base 20 is a plate shape, with upwardly extending limiting edges 21 on the left and right sides of the base 20, and the door support 30 is located between the two limiting edges 21; and / or, the rear side of the base 20 is provided with an upwardly protruding limiting post 22, and the limiting post 22 and the door support 30 enclose the bottom installation space of the dishwasher 200.

[0047] In some examples, the base tray 20 is made of a single piece of foam material, eliminating the need for splicing and providing high structural stability. It absorbs impact forces transmitted from the bottom during transport through its own deformation, protecting the bottom components of the dishwasher 200 and ensuring packaging stability. The base tray 20 is a plate-like shape, its dimensions fitting the bottom wall of the accommodating space 11 and perfectly conforming to the inner bottom surface of the outer box 10, ensuring comprehensive bottom support. Furthermore, multiple second weight-reducing holes 23 are provided on the base tray 20, which can further reduce material and transportation costs.

[0048] In some examples, the left and right sides of the base 20 are integrally formed with upwardly extending limiting edges 21. The distance between the two limiting edges 21 perfectly matches the length of the lower end of the connecting part 32 of the door support 30 in the left-right direction. The door support 30 is located between the two limiting edges 21. The limiting edges 21 can limit the left-right swaying of the door support 30 during transportation, further preventing the dishwasher 200 from swaying in the left-right direction during transportation, avoiding collision between the side of the dishwasher 200 and the inner wall of the outer box 10. At the same time, it can also assist in quickly positioning the door support 30 during assembly without repeated adjustments.

[0049] In some examples, the rear side of the base 20 is provided with an upwardly protruding limiting post 22, that is, the limiting post 22 is located on one side of the back of the dishwasher 200, opposite to the front side where the door support 30 is located. The limiting post 22 and the base 20 are integrally foamed and molded without splicing gaps, and the structural strength is consistent with the base 20 body, preventing breakage under stress. There can be multiple limiting posts 22, for example, there can be two, three, four or more limiting posts 22, which can be arranged at intervals along the left and right direction of the base 20.

[0050] The limiting protrusion 22 located on the rear side and the door support 30 on the front side enclose the bottom installation space of the dishwasher 200, restricting the position of the bottom of the dishwasher 200. The front surface of the limiting protrusion 22 fits against the rear surface of the bottom of the dishwasher 200, assisting in quick positioning of the dishwasher 200 during packaging. The height of the limiting protrusion 22 is determined by the bottom height of the dishwasher 200 and the thickness of the base 20. Its top surface shape perfectly matches the bottom contour of the dishwasher 200, achieving a foolproof design that ensures the bottom of the dishwasher 200 is stably supported on the base 20, preventing the dishwasher 200 from sliding on planes other than vertically during transportation. If the dishwasher 200 is placed in the correct orientation during assembly (with the back of the dishwasher 200 facing the rear of the base 20), the limiting protrusion 22 can precisely support the bottom rear end of the dishwasher 200, achieving accurate positioning. If the orientation is incorrect (with the door 210 facing the rear of the base 20), the limiting protrusion 22 will interfere with the bottom front end of the dishwasher 200, causing the dishwasher 200 to be unable to be placed stably. This will quickly remind the assembler to correct the orientation and avoid damage to the door support 30 and dishwasher 200 components due to assembly errors.

[0051] The base tray 20 in the above embodiment is made of one-piece molded foam material, which simplifies the structure. The front and rear structures of the base tray 20 have significantly different features, which can effectively avoid assembly errors in the front and rear positions during assembly, improve assembly accuracy and production efficiency, and further optimize the production process. There is no adhesive between the lower surface of the base tray 20 and the bottom wall of the outer box 10. It is positioned only by its own weight and the compression of the side wall of the outer box 10, which facilitates the overall extraction during recycling.

[0052] In some examples, such as Figures 4-7 As shown, the outer box 10 is made of cardboard, which can withstand the stacking pressure and external impact during transportation, preventing damage to the outer box 10 and exposure of internal components. At the same time, the surface of the cardboard box can be printed with dishwasher model 200 and packaging warnings (such as "Upside Down" and "Handle with Care"), and the cost is lower than that of plastic and metal outer boxes, which meets the economic requirements of mass production packaging. When sealing, only ordinary tape is needed to achieve closure, and the assembly efficiency is high.

[0053] The following is for reference. Figures 1-3 A dishwasher assembly 1000 according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0054] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a dishwasher assembly 1000 according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes a dishwasher 200 and a packaging structure 100 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention. The packaging structure 100 includes an outer box 10, a bottom tray 20, a door support 30, and a top cushioning member 40. (Refer to...) Figure 3As shown, the base support 20 is located on the bottom wall of the receiving space 11 and is supported on the bottom of the dishwasher 200; the door support 30 is arranged on the front side of the base support 20 and is supported on the lower side of the door 210 of the dishwasher 200; the top buffer 40 is located between the top wall of the receiving space 11 and the top of the dishwasher 200.

[0055] According to the dishwasher assembly 1000 of this utility model embodiment, by setting the packaging structure 100 of the first aspect embodiment above, the bottom support 20, the door support 30 and the top buffer 40 respectively protect the bottom, door 210 and top of the dishwasher 200. The bottom support 20, the door support 30 and the top buffer 40 can jointly form a wrap-around support and buffer for the dishwasher 200, thereby optimizing the design of the packaging structure 100, reducing the amount of materials used, reducing packaging costs, and improving the protective performance of the packaging for the dishwasher 200, realizing efficient collaboration of packaging components, and achieving efficiency and economy in packaging design.

[0056] The packaging process of the dishwasher 200 using the packaging structure 100 of the above embodiment is described in detail below.

[0057] First, accurately place the dishwasher 200 on the base 20, ensuring a tight fit between the dishwasher 200 and the base 20. During placement, align two key positioning structures: first, align the lower end of the dishwasher 200 with the left and right limiting edges 21 of the base 20; second, ensure the rear bottom of the dishwasher 200 is aligned with the limiting protrusions 22. If the orientation is correct, the dishwasher 200 will sit stably on the base 20. If it cannot be placed stably, immediately adjust the orientation of the dishwasher 200 to ensure there are no assembly errors.

[0058] Adjust the position of the door support 30 so that the horizontal section 312 fits against the upper surface of the base 20 and the connecting part 32 is between the limiting edge 21. The left and right sides of the connecting part 32 fit against the inner side of the limiting edge 21. The upper end of each vertical section 311 is below the door body 210 of the dishwasher 200. The hinges of the vertical section 311 and the door body 210 are precisely matched to form a stable support.

[0059] Next, insert the outer box 10 into the dishwasher 200 from the top with the open side, ensuring that the outer box 10 fits the dishwasher 200 perfectly.

[0060] The pre-assembled top buffer 40 (with the reinforcing member 42 bonded to the positioning groove 43 and front and rear baffles 44) is placed on top of the dishwasher 200. When placed, the lower side of the buffer body 41 is completely attached to the top of the dishwasher 200, and the front and rear baffles 44 are respectively embedded in the gaps between the front and rear surfaces of the dishwasher 200 and the front and rear inner walls of the outer casing 10 to fill the gaps and limit the back and forth shaking of the dishwasher 200.

[0061] Check the fit of each component: After confirming that the dishwasher 200 is fixed in place by the bottom support 20 and the limiting protrusion 22, the door support 30 is supported under the door 210, and the top buffer 40 is not loose, the outer box 10 is sealed and the outer box 10 is tied and fixed with packing straps to ensure the safety and stability of the product during transportation. At this time, all components work together to provide all-round support, buffering and protection for the dishwasher 200.

[0062] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the dishwasher assembly 1000 exhibits significant product protection performance in various packaging tests, including drop test, clamping test, stacking test, vibration test, inclined plane impact test, and top stepping test. It effectively enhances the impact resistance, compression resistance, and stability of the packaging system, ensuring the safety and integrity of the dishwasher 200 during transportation and storage.
