[0002] This section provides only background information relevant to this application and is not necessarily prior art.

[0003] Air source heat pump water heaters provide hot water, making life more convenient. However, they are typically heavy, and the weight of the packaging makes disassembling the bottom support difficult, leading to inefficient installation and negatively impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to improve the ease of packaging and disassembly of main equipment such as air source water heaters. This purpose is achieved through the following technical solution: The first aspect of this application discloses a packaging assembly for packaging a main unit device, including a base and a cushioning support. The cushioning support is an integral structure and is detachably mounted on the base. The cushioning support is used to support the main unit device.

[0005] According to the packaging component of this application, it can be used to package main units such as air source water heaters, with the main unit placed on a cushioning support. The cushioning support is detachably connected to the base, and the cushioning support has a weak point. After the main unit is transported to the installation location, it can be tilted to one side. Then, the user or installer can apply force to the cushioning support to tear it apart from the weak point. Part of the cushioning support can then be removed from the bottom of the main unit. The main unit can then be tilted towards the point where the cushioning support was removed, and the remaining cushioning support can be removed from the bottom of the main unit. This separates the cushioning support from the main unit, improving the ease of packaging and disassembly of main units such as air source water heaters, increasing installation efficiency, and enhancing the user experience.

[0025] Exemplary embodiments of this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this application may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of this application and to fully convey the scope of this application to those skilled in the art.

[0026] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “described” as used herein may also mean including the plural forms. The term “a plurality” means two or more (including two). The terms “comprising,” “including,” “containing,” and “having” are inclusive and therefore indicate the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein are not construed as requiring them to be performed in a specific order described or illustrated unless the order of performance is explicitly indicated. It should also be understood that additional or alternative steps may be used.

[0027] Although terms such as first, second, third, etc., may be used in this document to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be used only to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or segment from another. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence. Therefore, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed below may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or segment without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments.

[0028] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "over," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" would subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations.

[0029] An air source heat pump water heater (hereinafter referred to as an air source water heater) is a high-efficiency and energy-saving device based on the heat pump principle, which heats water by absorbing heat energy from the air. It can provide users with the hot water they need. Air source heat pump water heaters are relatively heavy and large in size. In some technologies, an integrated water tank is proposed, in which the heating / heat pump system and the water storage device are integrated into one unit, resulting in a large weight and height. To reduce the risk of damage to air source heat pump water heaters during transportation, they are usually placed on foam supported by a rigid base. The rigid base provides high support strength, and the foam provides some cushioning. In some technologies, the foam is usually a one-piece structure. After the integrated water tank is transported to the installation location, it needs to be removed from the foam and moved to the installation position. This process usually involves lifting the entire air source heat pump water heater. Since air source heat pump water heaters are relatively heavy, manually lifting them and removing them from the foam is laborious and difficult.

[0030] To alleviate the problem of laborious and difficult operation in removing integrated water tanks and other main equipment from their packaging, such as... Figures 1 to 15 As shown, this application embodiment provides a packaging assembly, which includes a base tray 10 and a cushioning support 20. The cushioning support 20 is an integral structure and is detachably installed on the base tray 10. The cushioning support 20 is used to support the host device 1. The cushioning support 20 is provided with a weak part 210, and the cushioning support 20 can be disconnected from the weak part 210 under the action of external force.

[0031] According to this embodiment, the packaging assembly can be used to package main equipment 1 such as an air source water heater. The main equipment 1 can be placed on a cushioning support 20. The cushioning support 20 is a one-piece structure, easy to manufacture, and can be directly placed on the base tray 10 during packaging without assembly, making operation convenient and improving packaging efficiency. (Reference) Figures 4 to 11As shown, the buffer support 20 is detachably connected to the base 10, and the buffer support 20 has a weak point 210. After the main unit 1 is transported to the installation position, the main unit 1 can be tilted to one side. Then, the user or installer can apply force to the buffer support 20 to tear it apart from the weak point. Then, part of the buffer support 20 can be removed from the bottom of the main unit 1. Then, the main unit 1 can be tilted towards the position where the buffer support 20 was removed, and the remaining buffer support 20 can be removed from the bottom of the main unit 1. In this way, the buffer support 20 can be separated from the main unit 1, reducing the possibility that the main unit 1 needs to be lifted as a whole, improving the convenience of packaging and disassembling the main unit 1 of the air source water heater, improving installation efficiency, and improving the user experience.

[0032] Optionally, the hardness and stiffness of the base 10 are greater than those of the buffer support 20. During transportation, the base 10 is positioned at the bottom of the buffer support 20, and the base 10 can provide higher support strength. The base 10 may be provided with a connecting part 120 for use with handling tools.

[0033] For example, the base 10 can be a frame structure with an insertion hole 121. The handling tool can be a forklift with its arm extending into the insertion hole 121 so that the forklift can lift the base 10 and the host device 1 on it and move them to a specific location, such as a packaging location.

[0034] Optionally, the base 10 can be made of a strong wood-metal composite material. Alternatively, the base 10 can also be a wooden tray, specifically a pallet with connecting parts 120 assembled from wooden boards. Wooden trays are cost-effective, lightweight, and environmentally friendly.

[0035] The dimensions of the base 10 in the horizontal direction can be approximately the same as those of the buffer support 20. When the buffer support 20 is placed on the base 10, the circumferential edge of the buffer support 20 can not exceed the circumferential edge of the base 10. In other words, the projection of the buffer support 20 onto the base 10 does not exceed the circumferential edge of the base 10.

[0036] The cushioning support 20 can be a foam component, which can be equipped with corresponding reinforcements or weight-reducing slots according to support requirements. Specifically, the foam component can be a part made of foamed plastic, such as expanded polypropylene (EPP) or expanded polystyrene (EPS), which have advantages such as being non-toxic, odorless, recyclable, and environmentally friendly, thus improving the environmental friendliness and recyclability of the packaging components.

[0037] The weak part 210 is broken under external force, causing the buffer support 20 to break. The weak part 210 of the buffer support 20 can be a tear-prone area formed by thinning the buffer support 20, or it can be a tear-prone area formed by setting a break 211. The external force that breaks the weak part 210 should be easily provided by the user or installer; that is, the weak part 210 of the buffer support 20 can be easily broken by the user or installer using their own strength, causing the buffer support 20 to break. The breaking of the buffer support 20 means that the buffer support 20 is at least divided into two relatively separate and independent parts.

[0038] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, such as Figures 1 to 15 As shown, the weak part 210 is provided in the middle of the buffer support 20 along the first direction X, and the first direction X intersects the arrangement direction Z of the base 10 and the buffer support 20.

[0039] The buffer support 20 can be broken off from the middle in the first direction X to form two parts, thus, for reference Figures 4 to 11 As shown, during the separation process between the main unit 1 and the buffer support 20, the main unit 1 can tilt towards one side of the first direction X, separating the main unit 1 from part of the buffer support 20. The user or installer can tear the buffer support 20 from the side where the main unit 1 is separated from the buffer support 20 and remove the part of the buffer support 20 that is separated from the main unit 1. Then, the main unit 1 can tilt towards the other side of the first direction X, separating the main unit 1 from the remaining part of the buffer support 20. The user or installer can then remove the remaining part of the buffer support 20, which improves the convenience of separating the main unit 1 from the buffer support 20.

[0040] The arrangement direction Z of the base 10 and the buffer support 20 can be roughly understood as the vertical direction, i.e., the direction of gravity. The first direction X can be roughly perpendicular to the arrangement direction Z of the base 10 and the buffer support 20. For example, the arrangement direction Z of the base 10 and the buffer support 20 is the thickness direction of the buffer support 20, and the first direction X is the width direction or length direction of the buffer support 20.

[0041] The middle part of the buffer support 20 along the first direction X can be the middle part of the buffer support 20, which is divided into three parts along the first direction X.

[0042] For example, the weak part 210 is disposed on the centerline of the buffer support 20 along the first direction X.

[0043] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 15As shown, the weak part 210 includes a fracture 211 and a solid part 212. The buffer support 20 forms a gap at the fracture 211, and the solid part 212 is located on the side of the fracture 211.

[0044] The break 211 can be a pre-formed opening during the molding process of the buffer support 20. The break 211 can also be formed by cutting the buffer support 20.

[0045] The fracture 211 can specifically be a gap or a relatively large interval. The width of the fracture 211 can be the same or different at different locations.

[0046] The solid part 212 is part of the solid part of the buffer support 20, which can connect the portions of the buffer support on both sides of the break 211 into one piece, so that the buffer support 20 is a one-piece structure.

[0047] By creating a weak section 210 through a fracture 211, the weight of the buffer support 20 can be reduced, and material consumption can be decreased. The buffer support 20 can be broken along the fracture 211 by destroying the solid section 212, thus disconnecting it, which is convenient and quick to operate.

[0048] Optionally, along the second direction Y, such as Figures 1 to 15 As shown, the buffer support 20 has at least two breaks 211 at opposite ends, and the first direction X, the second direction Y and the arrangement direction Z intersect each other.

[0049] The break 211 at the end of the buffer support 20 along the second direction Y can extend through that end.

[0050] The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the arrangement direction Z can be arranged perpendicularly to each other. For example, the buffer support 20 is generally rectangular, the first direction X and the second direction Y are the extension directions of two mutually perpendicular sides of the buffer support 20, and the arrangement direction Z is the vertical direction.

[0051] For example, the buffer support 20 has breaks 211 at both ends in the second direction Y, and the portion between the breaks 211 at both ends is a solid portion 212.

[0052] For example, such as Figures 1 to 15 As shown, the buffer support 20 has breaks 211 at both ends and in the middle of the second direction Y. The break 211 in the middle is arranged in a strip shape along the second direction Y. The breaks 211 at both ends and the break 211 in the middle are located on the same straight line. The part between adjacent breaks 211 is a solid part 212.

[0053] With the buffer support 20 having breaks 211 at both ends along the second direction Y, when the user or installer applies force to the buffer support 20, the breaks 211 can guide the solid part 212 to break, making the buffer support 20 easier to break, thus improving assembly convenience and efficiency.

[0054] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the break 211 passes through the buffer support 20 on opposite sides along the arrangement direction Z.

[0055] In other words, the break 211 extends through both sides of the buffer support 20 along the thickness direction.

[0056] The break 211 extends through both sides of the buffer support 20, reducing the strength of the weak part 210. This makes it easier for users or installers to break the weak part 210, thus disconnecting the buffer support 20 and improving assembly convenience and efficiency.

[0057] Optionally, the break 211 extends along the arrangement direction Z, and the dimension of the end of the break 211 away from the base 10 along the first direction X is greater than the dimension of the end of the break 211 facing the base 10 along the first direction X.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, the fracture 211 extends along the thickness direction (i.e., the arrangement direction Z, the vertical direction) of the buffer support 20, and the size of the upper end of the fracture 211 is larger than the size of the lower end of the fracture 211.

[0059] The dimensions of the fracture 211 can vary gradually or in a stepped manner along the thickness direction of the buffer support 20 (i.e., the arrangement direction Z, the vertical direction).

[0060] The upper part of the fracture 211 is larger and the lower part is smaller. This can ensure the connection strength of the insulating buffer while also guiding the fracture of the guiding body 212 when the user or installer applies force to the buffer support 20. The buffer support 20 is easier to break and the fracture position is more precise, which improves the ease and efficiency of assembly.

[0061] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the break 211 includes a tapered opening 2115 whose dimensions gradually decrease along a first direction X.

[0062] The gradient opening 2115 can be part of the fracture 211. For example... Figures 1 to 15 As shown, the gradient opening 2115 can be roughly V-shaped, with the top of the V-shape located at the bottom and the opening facing upwards.

[0063] For example, the gradient opening 2115 may be located at the lowermost end of the fracture 211, extending upward from the lower end of the fracture 211.

[0064] For example, such as Figures 1 to 15 As shown, the fracture 211 also includes a first sub-fracture 2116 at the bottommost end. The size of the first sub-fracture 2116 is approximately the same as the size of the bottommost end of the gradient fracture 2115. The gradient fracture 2115 extends upward from the first sub-fracture 2116.

[0065] For example, such as Figures 1 to 15 As shown, the fracture 211 also includes a first opening 2111 located above the gradient opening 2115. The size of the first opening 2111 is approximately the same as the size of the uppermost end of the gradient opening 2115. The gradient opening 2115 extends downward from the first opening 2111.

[0066] The gradient opening 2115 can better position the break 211 of the buffer support 20, improving assembly convenience and efficiency.

[0067] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the buffer support 20 includes a supporting bottom wall 201 and a supporting peripheral wall 202 surrounding the supporting bottom wall 201. The supporting peripheral wall 202 and the supporting bottom wall 201 form a receiving groove 203, which is used to receive at least a portion of the host device 1. The supporting bottom wall 201 and / or the supporting peripheral wall 202 have a weak portion 210.

[0068] The receiving groove 203 can accommodate the bottom of the main device 1 and limit the main device 1, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the main device 1 set on the buffer support 20.

[0069] The size of the receiving slot 203 can be slightly larger than the radial dimension of the host device 1 so that the host device 1 can tilt within the receiving slot 203.

[0070] The supporting base wall 201 may be provided with a limiting structure that cooperates with the bottom surface of the host device 1. For example, such as... Figure 2 As shown, a first limiting part 2012 is provided on the supporting bottom wall 201, and a second limiting part 101 is provided on the bottom surface of the main device 1. The first limiting part 2012 and the second limiting part 101 cooperate in a limiting manner in the first direction X and / or the second direction Y to restrict the movement of the main device 1 relative to the supporting bottom wall 201 in the horizontal direction. Optionally, the first limiting part 2012 may be arranged in a ring shape, and the second limiting part 101 may include a plurality of parts spaced apart along the circumference of the first limiting part 2012.

[0071] The supporting bottom wall 201 and the supporting peripheral wall 202 can work together to form the weak part 210.

[0072] For example, such as Figures 1 to 15As shown, the weak part 210 includes a fracture 211 and a solid part 212. The fracture 211 includes a first opening 2111 and a second opening 2114. The first opening 2111 is disposed on the support peripheral wall 202 and penetrates both ends of the support peripheral wall 202 along the Z-direction of the arrangement of the buffer support 20 and the base 10. The second opening 2114 is disposed on the support bottom wall 201. The first opening 2111 and the second opening 2114 correspond to and are connected. The solid part 212 is formed at the part of the support bottom wall 201 located on the side of the second opening 2114.

[0073] The first opening 2111 and the second opening 2114 can be aligned at the center.

[0074] By providing openings on both the support periphery wall 202 and the support bottom wall 201, the ease of disconnecting the buffer support 20 is improved, and the difficulty for users or installers to tear the buffer support 20 is reduced.

[0075] Optionally, the dimension of the first opening 2111 along the first direction X is larger than the dimension of the second opening 2114 along the first direction X, and the first direction X intersects the arrangement direction Z of the base 10 and the buffer support 20.

[0076] For example, such as Figures 1 to 15 As shown, the second opening 2114 may include a gradient opening 2115 and a first sub-opening 2116. The second opening 2114 may include a second sub-opening 2112 and a third sub-opening 2113, which are connected. The second sub-opening 2112 is located between the gradient opening 2115 and the third sub-opening 2113. The dimension of the second sub-opening 2112 along the first direction X is approximately the same as the upper dimension of the gradient opening 2115, and the dimension of the third sub-opening 2113 along the first direction X is larger than the dimension of the second sub-opening 2112 along the first direction X. The third sub-opening 2113 may be connected to the upper edge of the peripheral wall of the support body; that is, the third sub-opening 2113 may be an opening formed by a downward indentation of the upper edge of the peripheral wall of the support body.

[0077] The size of the first opening 2111 on the support peripheral wall 202 is larger than the size of the second opening 2114. This reduces the contact area between the support peripheral wall 202 and the main device 1, reduces the fastening effect of the support peripheral wall 202 on the main device 1, improves the ease of separation between the main device 1 and the buffer support 20, makes the main device 1 easier to tilt, and also improves the ease of removing the disconnected buffer support 20.

[0078] In some technologies, the integrated water tank packaging provides protection, and the buffer support 20 can be fixed to the base 10 with screws. However, in this method, the buffer support 20 is subject to the tightening force of the screws, making its removal difficult.

[0079] One of the base support 10 and the buffer support 20 is provided with a protrusion 110, and the other with a groove 2011. The protrusion 110 and the groove 2011 are fitted and positioned to allow the base support 10 and the buffer support 20 to be detachably connected. The buffer support 20 is positioned by the engagement of the protrusion 110 and the groove 2011. The buffer support 20 has a high degree of freedom of disassembly. The buffer support 20 is not restricted by screws and can be torn apart along the weak part 210, which improves the ease of removal of the buffer support 20.

[0080] For example, such as Figures 1 to 15 As shown, the top surface of the base 10 is provided with a protrusion 110, and the buffer support 20 is provided with an upwardly recessed groove 2011. The protrusion 110 is embedded in the groove 2011 to limit and fix the base 10 and the buffer support 20.

[0081] The protrusion 110 and the groove 2011 can at least limit the movement between the base 10 and the buffer support 20 along the first direction X and / or the second direction Y. In the direction of gravity (vertical direction, arrangement direction Z), the buffer support 20 can be directly fixed by the base 10 and the main device 1.

[0082] Optionally, both ends of the base 10 and the buffer support 20 along the first direction X are provided with mutually cooperating protrusions 110 and grooves 2011.

[0083] By providing protrusions 110 and grooves 2011 at both ends of the first direction X, the stability and reliability of the buffer support 20 on the base 10 can be improved.

[0084] For example, the top surface of the base 10 is provided with protrusions 110 at both ends along the first direction X, and the protrusions 110 extend along the second direction Y. The bottom side of the support bottom wall 201 of the buffer support member 20 is provided with upwardly recessed grooves 2011 at both ends along the second direction Y, and the grooves 2011 extend along the second direction Y. The grooves 2011 can communicate with the side of the corresponding end of the support bottom wall 201, that is, the grooves 2011 are notch structures. The protrusions 110 can be rectangular strip structures, and the grooves 2011 are adapted to the structure of the protrusions 110.

[0085] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the buffer support 20 includes a supporting bottom wall 201 and a supporting peripheral wall 202 surrounding the supporting bottom wall 201. The supporting peripheral wall 202 and the supporting bottom wall 201 form a receiving groove 203, which is used to receive at least a portion of the host device 1. The supporting peripheral wall 202 has at least one corner area 2021.

[0086] For example, the buffer support 20 has a generally square cross-section extending horizontally, the bottom support wall 201 is generally square, and the peripheral support wall 202 is generally a square frame structure with four corner areas 2021. This type of buffer support 20 can be applied to a host device 1 with a circular or elliptical shell shape in cross-section.

[0087] Optionally, the packaging component may include an accessory box 30 for assembling accessories of the main unit 1 (e.g., power cord, remote control, instruction manual, etc.). The accessory box 30 may be located in a corner area 2021 and supported by a supporting perimeter wall 202. Positioning the accessory box 30 in the corner area 2021 improves space utilization.

[0088] The projection of the accessory box 30 onto the corner area 2021 can be located within the supporting perimeter wall 202. In other words, the size of the accessory box 30 does not exceed the size of the supporting perimeter wall 202 and its corresponding area. This can reduce the possibility of interference between the accessory box 30 and the host device 1 and improve space utilization.

[0089] Optionally, the shape of the accessory box 30 is adapted to the shape of the corner area 2021.

[0090] In some embodiments, the accessory box 30 can be a triangular prism structure, which can have triangular facets supported in the corner area 2021.

[0091] For example, the end face of the accessory box 30 can be an isosceles triangular face, the wide face of the accessory box 30 can face the host device 1, and the vertex of the isosceles triangular face can be set to correspond to the corner of the corner area 2021.

[0092] By setting the accessory box 30 as an irregularly shaped box that fits the corner area 2021, it can perfectly fit the host device 1, making it easy to operate and saving packaging space.

[0093] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the packaging assembly may further include one or more protective supports 40 disposed on the side of the host device 1, and the protective supports 40 may be foam components. Exemplarily, the packaging assembly also includes two protective supports 40 disposed on the upper part of the host device 1 and on opposite sides of the host device 1. The side of the protective support facing the host device 1 is adapted to the shape of the host device 1's outer shell to improve the fit between the protective support and the host device 1.

[0094] like Figures 4 to 11 As shown, the disassembly process of the packaging components can be as follows: Figure 4 As shown, first remove the protective support 40; then, as... Figure 5As shown, the main unit 1 can be tilted towards one side (left side) in the first direction X, separating the main unit 1 from part of the buffer support 20; as Figure 6 As shown, the user or installer tears the buffer support 20 from the side where the host device 1 is separated from the buffer support 20; then, as... Figure 7 As shown, the portion of the buffer support 20 that is detached from the host device 1 is removed; then, as... Figure 8 As shown, by tilting the main unit 1 towards the other side (right side) of the first direction X, the main unit 1 can be separated from the remaining buffer support 20; as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the user or installer lifts and removes the remaining portion of the buffer support 20; as... Figure 11 As shown, after the buffer support 20 is removed, the main unit 1 is supported on the base 10.

[0095] Some embodiments of this application also provide a packaging device, including a packaging box and a packaging component proposed in this application or any embodiment of this application, wherein the packaging component is disposed within the packaging box.

[0096] The packaging box can be a cardboard box, etc. The bottom support 10 of the packaging component can be set on the inner bottom surface of the packaging box, and the cushioning support 20 is set on the bottom support 10 to support the main equipment 1 from the bottom.

[0097] The packaging device of this embodiment has the same beneficial effects as the packaging components proposed in this application or any embodiment of this application.
