Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of various embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments described in this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] Embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an air conditioning equipment packaging structure is provided, including an upper box, a lower box, and a cushioning assembly. The upper box and the lower box are interlocked during use, and the cushioning assembly is disposed within the box to fill and fit, thereby protecting the contents.

[0028] The upper housing includes an upper shell 1 and a support and limiting assembly. The upper shell 1 is made of corrugated cardboard. The upper shell 1 is flat when unfolded, and forms a hollow box with a rectangular outer contour after folding and splicing. Specifically, bending creases are provided at the connection points between the long and short sides of the upper shell 1 and the bottom plate, and adhesive strips are provided at both ends of the bent portion of the short side of the upper shell 1. During assembly, the adhesive strips at both ends of the bent portion of the short side of the upper shell 1 are further bent. At this time, the adhesive strips are perpendicular to both the bottom plate and the bent portion of the short side. The long side, after bending, is perpendicular to the bottom plate, and the outer wall of the adhesive strip adheres to the inner wall of the long side, so that the upper shell 1 forms vertical four-sided sidewalls.

[0029] The support and limiting assembly and the buffer assembly are disposed within the internal cavity of the upper housing 1. The support and limiting assembly includes a filling block 21. The filling block 21 is U-shaped, and preferably, the hollow portion of the filling block 21 is configured as a component cavity 11. The component cavity 11 is used to hold air conditioning components.

[0030] The buffer assembly includes a support tube 2, which is a hollow tubular tube with a rectangular cross-section. The support tubes 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the filling block 21. The height of the support tube 2 is less than the height of the filling block 21.

[0031] The support and limiting assembly further includes a body limiting block 3 disposed on one side of the upper housing 1. The body limiting block 3 abuts against the side of the support tube 2 to fix the body. The body limiting block 3 is provided with an installation groove.

[0032] The upper part of the body limiting block 3 is provided with a fixing block 4. The fixing block 4 is L-shaped, and two sets of fixing blocks 4 are symmetrically arranged on one side of the upper shell 1. The other side of the upper shell 1 is provided with a U-shaped fixing block 4. A multi-layer mounting plate is fixedly installed at the lower part of the U-shaped fixing block 4, and the mounting plate abuts against the side wall of the support tube 2 on one side. The fixing blocks 4 on both sides of the upper shell 1 are correspondingly arranged to form a limiting and fixing effect on the body placed inside.

[0033] The lower housing includes a lower shell 5 and a leveling support assembly. The lower shell 5 is made of corrugated cardboard. The lower shell 5 is flat when unfolded, and forms a hollow box with a rectangular outer contour after folding and splicing.

[0034] The lower housing 5 is formed into a buffer cavity by bending and folding through multiple bending sections. The unfolded state of the lower housing 5 is as follows: Figure 8 Indentations are provided at the connection points of the first long side 51 and the bottom plate of the lower housing 5, and indentations are also provided at the connection points of the second long side 52 and the top plate. Fitting strips are provided at both ends of the first long side 51. A splicing protrusion is provided at the end of the second long side 52 away from the bottom plate. An insertion slot is provided on the bottom plate corresponding to the splicing protrusion.

[0035] Indentations are provided at the connection points of the first short side 53 and the base plate, and indentations are also provided at the connection points of the second short side 54 and the top plate. Fitting strips are provided at both ends of the second short side 54. A splicing protrusion is provided at the end of the second short side 54 furthest from the base plate. A slot is provided on the base plate corresponding to the splicing protrusion.

[0036] When folded for use, the first long sides 51 on both sides are flipped to be perpendicular to the bottom plate, and then the second long sides 52 on both sides are flipped to be perpendicular to the bottom plate. At this time, the bottom plate and the top plate are parallel, and the interlocking protrusions and the insertion slots correspond vertically. By passing the interlocking protrusions on the two second long sides 52 through the corresponding insertion slots, the first long sides 51, the top plate, the second long sides 52, and the bottom plate are assembled together to form a hollow long buffer cavity. This achieves the folding of the long sides of the upper shell 1.

[0037] Furthermore, by flipping the first short sides 53 on both sides to be perpendicular to the bottom plate, the bonding strips at both ends of the first long side 51 are respectively bonded to the inner walls of the first short sides 53 on both sides. Then, the second short sides 54 on both sides are flipped to be perpendicular to the bottom plate. At this time, the bottom plate and the top plate are parallel, the splicing protrusions and the insertion slots are vertically aligned, and the bonding strips on the second short sides 54 on both sides correspond to the outer walls of the second long sides 52 on both sides. By passing the splicing protrusions on the second short sides 54 through the corresponding insertion slots, the first short sides 53, the top plate, the second short sides 54, and the bottom plate are assembled together to form a hollow short buffer cavity. This achieves the short-side folding of the corrugated cardboard box.

[0038] Those skilled in the art have reason to adjust the plate size and corresponding bending position of the lower shell 5 according to the model and status of the internal body in order to achieve the corresponding size setting of the buffer cavity. The size of the cutting size and the setting of the bending line are mature technical means in the field and do not require additional creative labor, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The lower housing 5 has an inner cavity surrounded by buffer chambers, which serves as a storage space. A leveling support assembly is installed inside the lower housing, comprising several leveling pieces 6 fixedly disposed on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the lower housing 5. Preferably, the leveling pieces 6 are arranged parallel to each other.

[0040] The leveling support assembly also includes several support pieces 61 that are fixedly disposed at the bottom of the edge of the storage space around the inner cavity.

[0041] Preferably, a liner is also fixedly provided between the support plate 61 and the bottom surface of the lower housing 5.

[0042] The buffer assembly further includes an embedded buffer tube 7 and an embedded plate 71, which are respectively filled into the buffer cavity as needed. The embedded plate 71 is embedded in the long or short buffer cavity of the lower housing 5. The embedded buffer tube 7 is embedded in the short buffer cavity of the lower housing 5. The embedded buffer tube 7 is a hollow tube with a rectangular cross-section, and its two ends abut against the inner wall of the bent portion of the lower housing 5.

[0043] The positions of the buffer chambers into which the embedded buffer tubes 7 and the embedded plates 71 of the upper and lower boxes are embedded are set for ease of understanding of the technical solution. Those skilled in the art can adjust them according to the model and shape of the internally placed body without needing to put in any additional creative effort, and will not be elaborated here.

[0044] Preferably, the cushioning assembly is made of paper material, including corrugated cardboard, honeycomb board, paper square tube, or grey board. By manipulating the upper and lower shells to unfold or fold, a storage or usable form is created, reducing the space occupied by the cardboard box. Operation is simple and convenient, offering strong practicality. Furthermore, the cavities created by folding are filled with paper cushioning tubes or sheets, reducing the use of foamed plastic and making it more environmentally friendly.

[0045] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims, not by the foregoing description, and is therefore intended to encompass all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0046] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
