[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-267350 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-083872 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Packaging materials made from a single sheet of corrugated cardboard have many mountain folds and valley folds, and when an inexperienced worker assembles the packaging material, the work takes a long time and there is a risk of variations in the dimensional accuracy of the packaging material after assembly. Furthermore, when packaging material is constructed by combining multiple corrugated cardboard sheets, the number and types of constituent parts tend to increase, which increases the cost of punching dies for punching the corrugated cardboard sheets and makes it more likely that incorrect assembly will occur during the assembly work.
[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a package that is easy to assemble and can be reduced in cost. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a package comprising a rectangular outer box and packaging material that holds an item to be packaged within the outer box with a gap between it and the outer box, wherein when the directions of each of the sides of the outer box that are perpendicular to each other are defined as a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction, the packaging material has a pair of support members that support the item to be packaged on both sides in the first direction, and a pair of connecting members that connect the pair of support members to the item to be packaged on both sides in the second direction, wherein the pair of support members and the pair of connecting members are each made of corrugated cardboard, the shape and size of the corrugated cardboard material that becomes one of the pair of support members and the shape and size of the corrugated cardboard material that becomes the other of the pair of connecting members are the same, and the shape and size of the corrugated cardboard material that becomes one of the pair of connecting members and the other of the pair of connecting members are the same. [Effects of the Invention]
[0007] According to the present invention, by reducing the number of folding points and types of constituent members, it is possible to provide a package that is easy to assemble and can be manufactured at low cost. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] [Embodiment Mode] Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 8. The embodiments described below are shown as preferred specific examples for carrying out the present invention, and although some of the embodiments specifically exemplify various technically preferred aspects, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments.
[0010] 1 is a perspective view showing components of a packaging body 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, together with a touch panel display terminal 7, which is the packaged item. The packaging body 1 includes a rectangular outer box 2 and a packaging material 3 that holds the touch panel display terminal 7 within the outer box 2 with a gap between it and the outer box 2. The packaging material 3 holds the touch panel display terminal 7 with a gap between it and the outer box 2. The touch panel display terminal 7 integrally includes a main body 71 and a flange 72 that projects from the main body 71.
[0011] The outer box 2 has a bottom plate 21, a top plate 22, and a body 23 between the bottom plate 21 and the top plate 22. The bottom plate 21 is made up of a first bottom plate flap 211, a second bottom plate flap 212, a third bottom plate flap 213, and a fourth bottom plate flap 214. The top plate 22 is made up of a first top plate flap 221, a second top plate flap 222, a third top plate flap 223, and a fourth top plate flap 224. The body 23 is made up of a first side plate 231, a second side plate 232, a third side plate 233, and a fourth side plate 234. Note that while FIG. 1 shows the top plate 22 of the outer box 2 in an open state, the top plate 22 is closed after the packaging material 3 and the touch panel display terminal 7 are housed in the outer box 2. The touch panel type display terminal 7 is disposed so that the flange portion 72 faces the bottom plate portion 21 side.
[0012] In the following description, the directions of the sides of the outer box 2 that are perpendicular to each other are referred to as a first direction D1, a second direction D2, and a third direction D3. The first direction D1 is the direction of the short sides of the rectangular bottom plate portion 21 and top plate portion 22, and the second direction D2 is the direction of the long sides of the bottom plate portion 21 and top plate portion 22. The third direction D3 is the direction perpendicular to the bottom plate portion 21 and top plate portion 22.
[0013] The packaging material 3 has a pair of support members 4 that support the touch panel display terminal 7 on both sides in the first direction D1, a pair of connecting members 5 that connect the pair of support members 4 on both sides of the touch panel display terminal 7 in the second direction D2, and an inner lid member 6 that is arranged between the pair of support members 4 and the pair of connecting members 5 and the top panel portion 22. The outer box 2, the pair of support members 4, the pair of connecting members 5, and the inner lid member 6 are each made of corrugated cardboard material and are formed by folding the corrugated cardboard material at multiple points.
[0014] Fig. 2(a) is a plan view showing the pair of support members 4, the pair of connecting members 5, and the corrugated cardboard materials 31-35 of the inner lid member 6 in a flat plate state before being folded. Fig. 2(b) is a cross-sectional view showing the cross-sectional structure of the corrugated cardboard materials 31-35. The dot-dash lines in Fig. 2(a) are mountain fold lines Lm, and the dashed lines are valley fold lines Lv. The thickness and structure of the corrugated cardboard materials 31-35 of the pair of support members 4, the pair of connecting members 5, and the inner lid member 6 are the same.
[0015] In this embodiment, the cardboard materials of the pair of support members 4, the pair of connecting members 5, and the inner lid member 6 have a double-flute structure that is thicker and stronger than a single-flute structure, and as shown in Fig. 2(b), have a surface liner 301 and a back liner 302, a middle liner 303 between the surface liner 301 and the back liner 302, a surface-side core 304 between the surface liner 301 and the middle liner 303, and a back-side core 305 between the back liner 302 and the middle liner 303. However, depending on the weight of the packaged items, the cardboard materials 31 to 35 may have a single-flute structure.
[0016] At the portions where the corrugated cardboard materials 31-35 are mountain-folded or valley-folded, the cardboard materials 31-35 are crushed in the thickness direction to form creases, facilitating the folding process. The cardboard materials 31, 32 of the pair of support members 4 are folded at one mountain fold line Lm and two valley fold lines Lv. At one mountain fold line Lm, the cardboard materials 31, 32 are folded 180 degrees. At the two valley fold lines Lv, the cardboard materials 31, 32 are folded at right angles.
[0017] The corrugated cardboard materials 33, 34 of the pair of connecting members 5 are doubled by being folded 180° at one mountain fold line Lm. To facilitate the folding process of the connecting members 5, cuts may be made in the corrugated cardboard materials 33, 34, for example, by leaving the surface liner 201 and cutting the back liner 202, middle liner 203, front-side core 204, and back-side core 205. The corrugated cardboard material 35 of the inner lid member 6 is folded at right angles at four valley fold lines Lv.
[0018] Of the pair of support members 4, the corrugated cardboard material 31 that will become one of the support members 4 and the corrugated cardboard material 32 that will become the other of the support members 4 have the same shape and size. In addition, of the pair of connecting members 5, the corrugated cardboard material 33 that will become one of the connecting members 5 and the corrugated cardboard material 34 that will become the other of the connecting members 5 have the same shape and size. This allows for standardization of the constituent members.
[0019] As shown in Figure 1, each support member 4 integrally includes a receiving portion 41 that receives the touch panel type display terminal 7 on the bottom plate portion 21 side, a covering portion 42 that covers a portion of the top plate portion 22 side of the touch panel type display terminal 7, a side plate portion 43 that faces the side of the touch panel type display terminal 7 between the receiving portion 41 and the covering portion 42, a lower protrusion portion 44 that is interposed between the receiving portion 41 and the body portion 23 of the outer box 2, and an upper protrusion portion 45 that is interposed between the covering portion 42 and the body portion 23 of the outer box 2.
[0020] In FIG. 2(a), the portions of the cardboard materials 31 and 32 are assigned reference numerals corresponding to the portions of the support member 4. Between the receiving portion 41 and the side plate portion 43, and between the cover portion 42 and the side plate portion 43, the cardboard materials 31 and 32 are bent at right angles at valley fold lines Lv. In the receiving portion 41, the cardboard materials 31 and 32 are bent 180° at mountain fold lines Lm, thereby doubling the portion that supports the weight of the touch panel display terminal 7. Of the pair of support members 4, the lower protruding piece 44 and the upper protruding piece 45 of one support member 4 protrude further toward the first side plate 231 of the body portion 23 than the side plate portion 43, and the lower protruding piece 44 and the upper protruding piece 45 of the other support member 4 protrude further toward the third side plate 233 of the body portion 23 than the side plate portion 43. This creates a space between the side plate portion 43 of one support member 4 and the first side plate 231 of the body 23, and between the side plate portion 43 of the other support member 4 and the third side plate 233 of the body 23, so that even if an impact is applied to the first side plate 231 or the third side plate 233 from outside the outer box 2, the impact is mitigated and the touch panel display terminal 7 is protected.
[0021] Each connecting member 5 is a long plate-like member arranged with the first direction D1 as its longitudinal direction. Two notches 50 are formed in the connecting member 5, extending from both longitudinal ends toward the center. The connecting member 5 integrally includes a lower plate portion 51 closer to the bottom plate portion 21 than the two notches 50, an upper plate portion 52 closer to the top plate portion 22 than the two notches 50, and a middle plate portion 53 between the two notches 50. In FIG. 2(a), the respective portions of the corrugated cardboard materials 33, 34 are assigned reference numerals corresponding to the respective portions of the connecting member 5.
[0022] The inner lid member 6 integrally has a rectangular plate portion 61 and four bent portions 62 to 65 bent from the edge of the plate portion 61 toward the top plate portion 22 of the outer box 2. The plate portion 61 is a rectangular flat plate whose size corresponds to the bottom plate portion 21 and top plate portion 22 of the outer box 2. The plate portion 61 has an opening 610 whose size corresponds to the size of the main body portion 71 of the touch panel display terminal 7 when viewed from the top plate portion 22 side. The purpose of the opening 610 will be described later. The opening 610 does not necessarily have to be formed in the plate portion 61. In FIG. 2(a), the various portions of the corrugated cardboard material 35 are assigned reference symbols corresponding to the various portions of the inner lid member 6.
[0023] Fig. 3(a) is a perspective view showing an assembly 30 in which a pair of support members 4 and a pair of connecting members 5 are combined. Fig. 3(b) shows a state in which the assembly 30 is housed in the outer box 2. Fig. 4(a) shows a state in which an inner lid member 6 is placed on the assembly 30. Fig. 4(b) shows a state in which the first top panel flap 221, the second top panel flap 222, the third top panel flap 223, and the fourth top panel flap 224 of the outer box 2 are folded over to close the top panel portion 22. Figs. 5(a) to 5(d) are explanatory diagrams showing the work process from housing the assembly 30 in the outer box 2 to placing the touch panel display terminal 7 between the pair of support members 4 and closing the top panel portion 22.
[0024] The touch panel type display terminal 7 is placed between the pair of support members 4 in a state where an assembly 30 combining a pair of support members 4 and a pair of connecting members 5 is housed in the outer box 2. The cover portion 42 of the support member 4 is swingable relative to the side plate portions 43, and is in an open state when the touch panel type display terminal 7 is placed between the pair of support members 4. After the touch panel type display terminal 7 is placed between the side plate portions 43 of the pair of support members 4, the cover portion 42 is closed so as to cover a part of the main body portion 71 of the touch panel type display terminal 7 on the top plate portion 22 side. The upper protrusion portion 45 swings relative to the side plate portions 43 together with the cover portion 42.
[0025] The support member 4 has a through hole 40 formed between the cover portion 42 and the side plate portion 43 so that the cover portion 42 can flexibly swing relative to the side plate portion 43. The cover portion 42 has a rectangular cutout 420 formed in a portion that covers the main body 71 of the touch panel display terminal 7. The cover portion 42 also has a plurality of finger loops 421 to 424 formed thereon so that an operator can easily hook their fingers when opening the cover portion 42 and removing the touch panel display terminal 7 (see FIG. 2(a)). However, the cover portion 42 does not necessarily have to have the cutout 420 or the finger loops 421 to 424.
[0026] The plate portion 61 of the inner lid member 6 presses the cover portion 42 of the pair of support members 4 against the touch panel display terminal 7, maintaining the cover portion 42 in a closed state. The bent portions 62 to 65 of the inner lid member 6 form a space between the plate portion 61 and the top plate portion 22 of the outer box 2. This space helps to cushion any impact that is applied to the top plate portion 22 from outside the outer box 2.
[0027] The pair of connecting members 5 connects the receiving portion 41 and side plate portion 43 of one of the pair of support members 4 to the receiving portion 41 and side plate portion 43 of the other support member 4. Two through holes 430 are formed in the side plate portion 43, through which the upper plate portions 52 of the pair of connecting members 5 are inserted. The receiving portions 41 of one of the support members 4 are fitted into the two notches 50 of the connecting member 5. Two notches 410 are formed at the tip of the receiving portion 41, into which the middle plate portions 53 of the pair of connecting members 5 are engaged.
[0028] Both longitudinal ends of the lower plate portion 51 and the upper plate portion 52 of each of the pair of connecting members 5 face the first side plate 231 and the third side plate 233 of the body portion 23 of the outer box 2. A space is formed between the lower plate portion 51 and the upper plate portion 52 of each of the pair of connecting members 5 and the second side plate 232 and the fourth side plate 234 of the body portion 23. Furthermore, a space corresponding to the width of the lower plate portions 51 of the pair of connecting members 5 is formed between the receiving portions 41 of each of the pair of support members 4 and the bottom plate portion 21 of the outer box 2. These spaces cushion the impact even when an impact is applied from outside the outer box 2, thereby protecting the touch panel display terminal 7.
[0029] Fig. 6(a) is an explanatory diagram showing the assembly 30 housed in the outer box 2 as viewed from the top panel 22 side along the third direction D3. Fig. 6(b) is an explanatory diagram showing the state in which the inner lid member 6 is placed on the assembly 30 as viewed from the same direction as Fig. 6(a). In Figs. 6(a) and (b), the outlines of the main body 71 and flange 72 of the touch panel display terminal 7 are indicated by dashed lines.
[0030] The pair of support members 4 and the pair of connecting members 5 are combined in a grid pattern as shown in Fig. 6(a). A space 200 for accommodating an accessory 8 for the touch panel display terminal 7, which is the packaged item, is formed in a corner of the outer box 2 when viewed from the third direction D3. In this embodiment, one of the four corners of the outer box 2 is used as the space 200 for accommodating the accessory 8. In this embodiment, the accessory 8 is an attachment part for attaching the touch panel display terminal 7 to an attachment target.
[0031] The space 200 is an area surrounded by the third side plate 233 and the fourth side plate 234 of the body 23 of the outer box 2, the lower plate 51 and the upper plate 52 of one connecting member 5, and the side plate 43 of one support member 4. In the lower protruding piece 44 of one support member 4, a notch 440 (see FIG. 2(a)) is formed in the corner of the part that corresponds to the space 200 in order to expand the volume of the space 200. Note that since the pair of support members 4 have the same shape, a similar notch 440 is also formed in the lower protruding piece 44 of the other support member 4 that corresponds to the corner of the outer box 2 where the accessory 8 is not stored.
[0032] The opening of the space 200 on the top panel 22 side of the outer box 2 is covered by the plate portion 61 of the inner lid member 6, preventing the accessory 8 from falling out of the space 200. As shown in FIG. 6(b), the plate portion 61 of the inner lid member 6 is provided with a marking 611 indicating the position of the space 200 in which the accessory 8 is accommodated. In the example shown in FIG. 6(b), the marking 611 is composed of a cross-hatched rectangular graphic portion 611a, an arrow 611b pointing to the graphic portion 611a, and the characters 611c reading "MOUNTING BRACKET." The graphic portion 611a is provided at a corner of the plate portion 61 in a position aligned with the space 200 in the third direction D3. In this embodiment, the graphic portion 611a, the arrow 611b, and the characters 611c are printed on the plate portion 61, but the marking 611 may be provided by, for example, attaching a sticker. The marking 611 on the plate portion 61 enables a worker who opens the outer box 2 at the shipping destination of the touch panel type display terminal 7 to easily find the accessories 8.
[0033] 7(a) to 7(c) are explanatory diagrams showing the procedure for attaching the touch panel type display terminal 7 to the metal plate 9 to which it is to be attached. The metal plate 9 is, for example, the door of a control panel that houses a control device for controlling a machine tool. 7(a) to 7(c) show the front surface 9a of the metal plate 9, which has a front surface and a back surface.
[0034] 7(a) shows a state in which the inner lid member 6 is placed so as to contact the surface 9a of the metal plate 9. The inner lid member 6 may be fixed to the metal plate 9, for example, by an operator pressing it down with his / her hand, but it is more preferable to fix it to the metal plate 9 with a fixing device such as tape. The operator attaching the touch panel display terminal 7 fixes the inner lid member 6 to the metal plate 9 and draws a scribe line 92 along the periphery of the opening 610 of the plate portion 61 using, for example, a scribe needle 91.
[0035] 7(b) shows the state after the metal plate 9 has been cut along the marking lines 92 and mounting holes 90 have been formed. The main body 71 of the touch panel display terminal 7 is inserted into the mounting hole 90 from the front surface 9a side of the metal plate 9. As described above, the opening 610 of the plate portion 61 has a size corresponding to the size of the main body 71 of the touch panel display terminal 7; in other words, it has a size corresponding to the mounting hole 90 that should be formed in the metal plate 9 to mount the touch panel display terminal 7 to the metal plate 9. The mounting hole 90 is rectangular and slightly larger than the main body 71 of the touch panel display terminal 7 and smaller than the flange portion 72 of the touch panel display terminal 7.
[0036] 7(c) shows the state in which the touch panel type display terminal 7 is attached to the metal plate 9. The touch panel type display terminal 7 is attached so that the flange portion 72 is disposed on the surface 9a side of the metal plate 9 and the display surface 70 faces outward. The display surface 70 displays, for example, the operating status of the machine tool and buttons for operating each part of the machine tool.
[0037] 8(a) and (b) are structural diagrams showing a structure for attaching the touch panel type display terminal 7 to the metal plate 9 using a bracket 80 as an attachment part. The accessory 8 includes a plurality of brackets 80, and FIGS. 8(a) and (b) show one of these brackets 80. The plurality of brackets 80 are housed in the space 200, for example, in a state where they are housed in a plastic bag.
[0038] The bracket 80 has a U-shaped fixing bracket 81, a bolt 82 inserted into a bolt insertion hole 810 formed in the fixing bracket 81, and an engaging bracket 83 into which the bolt 82 is threaded. The fixing bracket 81 has a pair of legs 811, 812 and a base 813 in which the bolt insertion hole 810 is formed. The engaging bracket 83 has a main body 831 disposed between the pair of legs 811, 812, and an engaging protrusion 832 that engages with an engaging recess 710 formed in a side surface 71a of the main body 71 of the touch panel display terminal 7. The threaded portion 822 of the bolt 82 is threadedly engaged with the main body 831 of the engaging bracket 83, with the head 821 abutting against the base 813 of the fixing bracket 81. The pair of legs 811, 812 have tip surfaces 811a, 812a abutting against the back surface 9b of the metal plate 9. The mounting part for mounting the touch panel type display terminal 7 on the mounting object is not limited to the bracket 80 shown in FIGS. 8(a) and 8(b), and various known configurations can be appropriately adopted.
[0039] [Comparative Example] FIG. 9 is a plan view showing corrugated cardboard sheets 36-38, which are components of a packaging material according to a comparative example. In FIG. 9, similar to FIG. 2(a), mountain folds are indicated by dashed lines and valley folds are indicated by dashed lines. The corrugated cardboard sheets 36-38 are folded along the mountain folds and valley folds and assembled to hold a touch panel display terminal 7 of the same size as that of the above-described embodiment within an outer box 2. As is clear from a comparison between FIG. 2(a) and FIG. 9, the area occupied by the corrugated cardboard sheets 31-35 according to the above-described embodiment when arranged flat is smaller than the area occupied by the corrugated cardboard sheets 36-38 according to the comparative example when arranged flat. This allows for a reduction in storage space within a factory and ultimately reduces management costs. The scale of the corrugated cardboard sheets 36-38 in FIG. 9 is the same as that of the corrugated cardboard sheets 31-35 in FIG. 2(a).
[0040] [Effects of the embodiment] According to the embodiment described above, the packaging material 3 can be easily assembled with a small number of folding operations. Furthermore, because the pair of support members 4 have the same shape and size, the corrugated cardboard materials 31, 32 of the pair of support members 4 can be punched out with a single punching die. Furthermore, because the pair of connecting members 5 have the same shape and size, the corrugated cardboard materials 33, 34 of the pair of connecting members 5 can be punched out with a single punching die. This reduces the cost of punching dies. Furthermore, reducing the number of types of components that make up the packaging material 3 also simplifies the assembly procedure, allowing even inexperienced workers to easily learn the assembly procedure, enabling efficient assembly in a short time, and reducing the occurrence of assembly errors. This also contributes to reducing the manufacturing cost of the packaging body 1. In other words, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide a packaging body 1 that is easy to assemble and can be assembled at low cost.
[0041] Incidentally, when packing touch panel display terminals of different sizes, this can be accommodated by changing the sizes of the pair of support members 4, the pair of connecting members 5, and the inner lid member 6. Even in this case, the assembly procedure for the packaging material can be standardized for multiple models of touch panel display terminals, allowing for efficient assembly work.
[0042] (Addendum) The present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, but these embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention claimed in the claims. It should be noted that not all of the combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the means for solving the problems of the invention. Furthermore, the present invention can be appropriately modified by omitting some components or adding or substituting components within the scope of the spirit of the invention. Furthermore, some components of the above-described embodiments can be combined with each other, and modifications such as those described below are also possible.
[0043] In the above embodiment, the case where the packaged item is a touch panel display terminal 7 has been described, but the packaged item is not limited to this, and various electrical products, etc. can be packaged in the package of the present invention. Also, in the above embodiment, the case where the packaging material 3 is made only of cardboard has been described, but cushioning material such as polystyrene foam may be additionally placed inside the outer box 2 to increase impact resistance.
