The following description is given to enable any person skilled in the art to implement and use the present disclosure. In the following description, details are listed for the purpose of explanation. It should be understood that one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the present disclosure can be implemented without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not elaborated in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the present disclosure with unnecessary details. Therefore, the present disclosure is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a packaging structure, which includes a packaging part 1 and a buffer insert 2. It can be used to package display devices with different thicknesses, has good versatility and compatibility, and correspondingly reduces the cost of the packaging structure and the cost of the entire device.

[0031] The package 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 11, which is configured to receive a packaged object 200, and an engaging groove 12 can be provided on the side wall of the receiving cavity 11. When the packaged object 200 is embedded in the receiving cavity 11, the packaged object 200 can be stably held on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 11 and surrounded and protected by the side walls of the receiving cavity 11. Here, the packaged object 200 can be a display device such as a television or a monitor, which is not limited in the present embodiment. The structure of the package 1 can be determined according to actual needs, and can adopt an integral molding structure, a split splicing structure, etc., which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0032] One end of the buffer insert 2 is embedded in the engagement groove 12, and the other end extends into the receiving groove cavity 11 to provide cushioning contact with the packaged object 200. In this way, the height of the buffer insert 2 protruding from the receiving groove cavity 11 can be changed by changing the engagement depth of the buffer insert 2 in the engagement groove 12.

[0033] When the packaging structure provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is used to package the packaged object 200, if the thickness of the packaged object 200 is relatively large, the buffer insert 2 can be embedded more deeply in the engaging groove 12. On the one hand, the length of the section of the buffer insert 2 extending into the accommodating groove cavity 11 is shortened to provide a larger accommodating space in the accommodating groove cavity 11, thereby matching the larger thickness of the packaged object 200. On the other hand, the buffering area and buffering capacity between the buffer insert 2 and the packaging element 1 can be increased, thereby providing good buffering protection for the packaged object 200 with a larger deadweight. Conversely, if the thickness of the packaged object 200 is relatively small, the buffer insert 2 can be embedded more shallowly in the engaging groove 12. On the one hand, the length of the section of the buffer insert 2 extending into the accommodating groove cavity 11 is shortened to fit the packaged object 200 with a smaller thickness. On the other hand, the buffering area and buffering capacity between the buffer insert 2 and the packaging element 1 can be adjusted until they match the packaged object 200 with a smaller deadweight. Compared with related technologies, the packaging structure provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can be used to package display devices with different thicknesses and different weights, has better versatility and compatibility, and correspondingly reduces the cost of the packaging structure and the cost of the entire device.

[0034] In some embodiments, the engaging groove 12 may include a main groove portion 121 and multiple side groove portions 122, with the multiple side groove portions 122 being respectively disposed on opposite side walls of the main groove portion 121. In other words, the multiple side groove portions 122 are respectively disposed on opposite side walls of the main groove portion 121, so that the engaging groove 12 exhibits a zigzag groove structure.

[0035] Here, the buffer insert 2 may include an insert body 21, a buffer receiving portion 22, and a plurality of cantilever portions 23, wherein the buffer receiving portion 22 and the plurality of cantilever portions 23 are respectively provided on the insert body 21. The plurality of cantilever portions 23 and the plurality of side groove portions 122 are equal in number, and the plurality of cantilever portions 23 and the plurality of side groove portions 122 may be engaged with each other in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0036] When the buffer insert 2 and the engaging groove 12 are engaged, the insert body 21 can be fully or partially embedded in the main groove portion 121, and all or part of the cantilever portion 23 and all or part of the side groove portion 122 are engaged in a one-to-one correspondence. The buffer receiving portion 22 is always located outside the engaging groove 12, specifically within the receiving groove cavity 11, so that the buffer receiving portion 22 can always contact the packaged object 200. Here, the insert body 21 can be fully or partially embedded in the main groove portion 121 to change the distance between the buffer receiving portion 22 and the side wall of the engaging groove 12, specifically the side wall of the engaging groove 12 in the receiving groove cavity 11, and to change the number of cantilever portions 23 engaged with the side groove portion 122.

[0037] Specifically, when the insert body 21 is fully embedded in the main groove 121, all of the aforementioned cantilever portions 23 and all of the aforementioned side groove portions 122 engage in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby increasing the cushioning area and cushioning capacity between the cushioning insert 2 and the package 1. The buffer receiving portion 22 is located within the receiving groove cavity 11, minimizing the distance between the buffer receiving portion 22 and the side wall of the engaging groove 12. When the insert body 21 is partially embedded in the main groove 121, portions of the insert body 21 extend beyond the receiving groove cavity 11, correspondingly increasing the distance between the buffer receiving portion 22 and the side wall of the engaging groove 12. In this case, only portions of the cantilever portions 23 engage in a one-to-one correspondence with portions of the side groove portions 122, thereby reducing the cushioning area and cushioning capacity between the cushioning insert 2 and the package 1. The remaining cantilever portions 23 are located outside the engaging groove 12 and do not engage with any of the side groove portions 122.

[0038] When the packaging structure provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is used to package the packaged object 200, if the thickness of the packaged object 200 is large, the insert body 21 can be embedded deeper in the main groove portion 121. On the one hand, the buffer receiving portion 22 is closer to the side wall of the embedding groove 12, so as to provide a larger accommodating space in the accommodating groove cavity 11, thereby matching the larger thickness of the packaged object 200. On the other hand, a larger number of cantilever portions 23 and side groove portions 122 are embedded in a one-to-one correspondence, so as to increase the buffering area and buffering capacity between the buffer insert 2 and the packaging 1, thereby being able to This provides excellent cushioning protection for heavily weighted packaged objects 200. Conversely, if the packaged object 200 is thin, the insert body 21 can be shallowly embedded within the main groove 121. This allows the buffer receiving portion 22 to be relatively distant from the sidewall of the engagement groove 12, allowing for close contact with the thinner packaged object 200. Furthermore, a smaller number of cantilever portions 23 and the side grooves 122 engage in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby matching the cushioning area and capacity between the cushion insert 2 and the package 1 to the lighter weight of the packaged object 200. Compared to related technologies, the packaging structure provided by the disclosed embodiments can be used to package display devices of varying thicknesses and weights, exhibiting superior versatility and compatibility, thereby reducing both the packaging structure cost and the overall device cost.

[0039] The arrangement relationship of the multiple side groove portions 122 can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this. In some embodiments, the multiple side groove portions 122 can be symmetrically arranged on the side walls on opposite sides of the main groove portion 121. Similarly, the arrangement relationship of the multiple cantilever portions 23 can be determined according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this. In some embodiments, the multiple cantilever portions 23 can be symmetrically arranged on the surfaces on opposite sides of the insert body 21. By setting as above, a symmetrical and uniform interlocking relationship can be formed between the buffer insert 2 and the interlocking groove 12, thereby providing more reliable buffering protection for the packaged object 200.

[0040] The structure of the cantilever portion 23 can be determined based on actual needs and is not limited in the presently disclosed embodiments. In some examples, the cantilever portion 23 may include a first cantilever sub-portion 231 and a second cantilever sub-portion 232. The first cantilever sub-portion 231 connects the insert body 21 and the second cantilever sub-portion 232. The first cantilever sub-portion 231 and the second cantilever sub-portion 232 are arranged perpendicular to each other or at an angle. This creates a curved structure on the cantilever portion 23, which effectively ensures smooth and reliable engagement between the cantilever portion 23 and the side groove portion 122.

[0041] In some examples, at least two sidewalls of the receiving cavity 11 may be provided with engaging grooves 12, and a buffer insert 2 may be engaged with each engaging groove 12. Thus, when the packaged object 200 is embedded in the receiving cavity 11, at least two sides of the packaged object 200 can be contacted and supported by different buffer inserts 2 for position limiting, cushioning, and support, ensuring that the packaged object 200 is reliably and securely held within the receiving cavity 11.

[0042] The number of engaging grooves 12 and buffer inserts 2 can be determined based on actual needs and is not limited in this embodiment. In some embodiments, the sidewall of the accommodating cavity 11 may be provided with multiple engaging grooves 12, with the multiple engaging grooves 12 being sequentially spaced apart. Accordingly, the packaging structure may include multiple buffer inserts 2, with the multiple buffer inserts 2 and the multiple engaging grooves 12 being equal in number, and the multiple buffer inserts 2 and the multiple engaging grooves 12 being engaged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0043] In some embodiments, a plurality of side groove portions 122 located on the same side wall of the main groove portion 121 can be spaced apart in sequence along a first direction, where the first direction is the depth direction of the main groove portion 121. In some examples, the first direction can be the thickness direction of the side wall where the engaging groove 12 is located. When the buffer insert 2 and the engaging groove 12 are engaged, a plurality of cantilever portions 23 located on the same side of the insert body 21 are spaced apart in sequence along the first direction, and each cantilever portion 23 is respectively embedded in a side groove portion 122; in this way, a plurality of buffer connection portions arranged in sequence along the first direction can be formed between the buffer insert 2 and the packaging 1, absorbing external vibration shocks layer by layer, thereby better avoiding external vibration shocks from causing impact damage to the packaged object 200, and better providing buffering protection for the packaged object 200.

[0044] In some examples, the packaging element 1 may have a bottom side 13, with the engagement groove 12 forming an opening on the bottom side 13. Thus, the cushioning insert 2 can be inserted into the engagement groove 12 from the bottom side 13 of the packaging element 1. If the packaging structure and the packaged object 200 therein accidentally fall, the cushioning insert 2 can be the first to absorb the energy, thereby effectively cushioning and protecting the packaged object 200.

[0045] In some embodiments, the engaging groove 12 may extend through the sidewall of the receiving cavity 11 and onto the outer surface of the package 1. In other words, the engaging groove 12 extends from the receiving cavity 11 to the outer surface of the package 1, so that the engaging groove 12 forms openings on the outer surfaces of the receiving cavity 11 and the package 1, respectively.

[0046] The material of the packaging member 1 can be determined based on actual needs, and can include elastic cushioning materials such as foam, rubber, silicone, corrugated paper, etc., but this disclosure is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the packaging member 1 can be a foam member made of a foam material; the foam material can be, for example, expanded polypropylene (EPP) or expanded polystyrene (EPS), but this disclosure is not limited to this.

[0047] The packaging structure provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure is introduced in detail above. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present disclosure. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present disclosure. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of the present disclosure, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scopes. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.
