Description

Packing boxes and packing methods

[0001] The present invention relates to a packing box and a packing method that can easily store a charger with a cable connected and improve the stability of handling for use.

[0002] Typically, electric vehicles (EVs) have been slow to become practical for a long time due to issues such as the heavier weight of the batteries installed in the vehicle compared to gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles and the time required to charge them. However, with the recent depletion of fossil fuels and environmental pollution, interest in EVs, which run on electric energy rather than fossil fuels, has grown, leading to active research and development in this area.

[0003] As a result, the popularization of electric vehicles has increased in recent years. Electric vehicles are equipped with batteries that supply power for propulsion and store energy within the batteries. Therefore, to operate an electric vehicle continuously, the batteries must be charged. Consequently, infrastructure for charging electric vehicles is essential.

[0004] However, despite the need for increased charging infrastructure to accommodate the growing number of electric vehicle users, charging infrastructure remains inadequate, and this is the biggest obstacle to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.

[0005] Furthermore, the fixed, standing chargers currently deployed in existing electric vehicle charging infrastructure are not only large, heavy, and expensive, but their size and weight also add to the burden of securing installation space and the associated costs associated with moving the charger to the installation location. Furthermore, the additional costs associated with installing the charging facilities also present a problem.

[0006] Accordingly, a new electric vehicle charging method that can replace the existing electric vehicle charging infrastructure is needed, and portable electric vehicle charging devices that users can conveniently charge their electric vehicles while carrying them are being developed.

[0007] The portable electric vehicle charger consists of the charger body, charging cable, and connector, which are stored in a box and taken out of the box by the user when in use.

[0008] During this process, problems such as the charging cable becoming tangled or breaking during storage of the portable electric vehicle charger can arise. Furthermore, when the user takes out the portable electric vehicle charger, the charger itself and the charging cable are pulled out together, making handling difficult.

[0009] Meanwhile, if the user lifts only the charger body or only the charging cable to take out the portable electric vehicle charger, the connection between the charger body and the charging cable can easily be damaged due to the weight of the charging cable or the weight of the charger body.

[0010] Therefore, a method is needed to solve the above-described problems while making it easier to store portable electric vehicle chargers and improving the stability of handling for use.

[0011] The present invention relates to a packing box and a packing method, and more specifically, to a packing box and a packing method that can easily store a charger with a cable connected thereto and improve the stability of handling for use.

[0012] In addition, the purpose is to provide a packing box and a packing method that can prevent cable tangling and cable breakage by allowing the cable to be wound and accommodated and minimizing external force that may be applied to one side connected to the charger.

[0013] The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the technical problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by a person having ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs from the description below.

[0014] A packing box for a charger with a cable connected thereto is provided, comprising: a first packing part having a receiving space for receiving the cable; a first groove formed on one side of the first packing part so that one side of the cable connected to the charger is positioned; a second packing part having a receiving space for receiving the charger; and a second groove formed on one side of the second packing part so that one side of the cable is positioned, wherein the second packing part is stacked on the first packing part so that the first groove and the second groove face each other in a vertical direction.

[0015] The width of the first groove is formed to be larger than the width of the second groove, and the second groove can be formed to extend from the seating space.

[0016] The first packing portion may include a receiving guide formed to protrude into the receiving space so that the cable is wound and received.

[0017] The first packing part may include a first handle groove formed on both sides adjacent to the one side, and the second packing part may include a second handle groove formed at a position corresponding to the first handle groove when laminated to the first packing part.

[0018] The first handle groove may include a folded surface formed by bending inwardly on both sides of the first packing portion; and a hook surface formed by protruding outwardly from an upper portion of the folded surface.

[0019] The first groove may be formed in one direction at the center of one side of the first packing portion, and the second groove may be formed at the center of one side of the second packing portion.

[0020] The charger may further include a third packing part that covers the charger and is laminated on the second packing part.

[0021] The third packing portion may include a third handle groove formed on both sides facing each other.

[0022] The third packing section may include a storage space for storing a fixing member formed on the upper surface and detachable from the charger.

[0023] A packing method for a charger having a cable connected thereto is provided, comprising: a step of accommodating the cable in a receiving space of a first packing part; a step of mounting the charger in a mounting space of a second packing part; a step of positioning one side of the cable connected to the charger in a first groove of the first packing part and a second groove of the second packing part; and a step of stacking the second packing part on the first packing part such that the first groove and the second groove face each other in a vertical direction.

[0024] The step of laminating the second packing part on the first packing part may be performed by laminating the second packing part on the first packing part by rotating the second packing part so that one side of the cable is bent.

[0025] After the step of laminating the second packing part on the first packing part, the step of inserting the first packing part and the second packing part into a packaging member may be included; and the step of laminating the third packing part on the second packing part to cover the charger.

[0026] The packing box and packing method according to the present invention can easily store a charger with a cable connected and improve the stability of handling for use.

[0027] Additionally, the cable can be wound and accommodated, and external force that may be applied to one side connected to the charger can be minimized to prevent cable tangling and cable breakage.

[0028] The effects that can be obtained from the present invention are not limited to the effects mentioned above, and other effects not mentioned can be clearly understood by a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs from the description below.

[0042] FIG. 1 is a drawing illustrating a charger (10) to which a cable (20) is connected. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a packing box (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a drawing illustrating a second packing part (120) laminated on a first packing part (110) in a packing box (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a drawing illustrating a first packing part (110) containing a cable (20) and a second packing part (120) on which a charger (10) is seated in a packing box (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of area A of FIG. 4. FIG. 6 is a drawing illustrating a form in which a packing box (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention is inserted into a packaging member (50). And FIG. 7 is a drawing for explaining a method of withdrawing or inserting a packing box (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention from or into a packaging member (50).

[0043] Hereinafter, in describing a packing box (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the left-right direction will be described based on the x-axis direction, the forward and rearward direction will be described based on the y-axis direction, and the up-down direction will be described based on the z-axis direction.

[0044] The packing box (100) of the present invention is for storing a charger (10) connected to a cable (20) as shown in FIG. 1, and the charger (10) is connected to one side of the cable (20) and a connector (30) is connected to the other side of the cable (20).

[0045] A packing box (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a first packing portion (110) and a second packing portion (120). Referring to FIG. 4, the first packing portion (110) may be formed with a receiving space (111) in which a cable (20) is received. In addition, the second packing portion (120) may be formed with a receiving space (121) in which a charger (10) is received.

[0046] That is, the charger (10) to which the cable (20) is connected can be packed in a first packing section (110) and a second packing section (120) that are configured separately, respectively. Therefore, the packing box (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention can separate the space where the cable (20) is accommodated and the space where the charger (10) is accommodated through the first packing section (110) and the second packing section (120).

[0047] In particular, a packing box (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a first groove (112) formed on one side of a first packing portion (110) so that one side of a cable (20) is positioned. In addition, a second groove (122) formed on one side of a second packing portion (120) so that one side of a cable (20) is positioned may be included.

[0048] This is to make it easy for the user to take out the charger (10) with the cable (20) connected from the packing box (100) of the present invention for use. That is, as shown in Fig. 4, the cable (20) can be easily gripped from the first packing section (110) and the charger (10) can be easily gripped from the second packing section (120) to lift the charger (10) with the cable (20) connected at once.

[0049] If, as described above, the charger (10) connected to the cable (20) is packed in one space, there may be cases where the user lifts only the charger (10) or only the cable (20) when taking it out for use. In this case, one side of the cable (20), which is the connection part with the charger (10), may be easily damaged due to the weight of the cable (20) or the weight of the charger (10).

[0050] On the other hand, a packing box (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention has a first packing portion (110) and a second packing portion (120) to separate the packing space of a charger (10) to which a cable (20) is connected, and one side of the cable (20) is positioned through the first groove (112) and the second groove (122), thereby improving the stability of handling for use of a charger (10) to which a cable (20) is connected, and solving the problem of one side of the cable (20) being damaged.

[0051] In addition, when storing a charger (10) to which a cable (20) is connected, the second packing part (120) is stacked on the first packing part (110) as shown in FIG. 3 in a packing box (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention, so that the charger (10) to which a cable (20) is connected can be easily stored.

[0052] More specifically, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4 together, the second packing part (120) can be stacked on the first packing part (110) such that the first groove (112) and the second groove (122) face each other in the vertical direction (z-axis direction). That is, the user can rotate the second packing part (120) so that one side of the cable (20) is bent and stack it on the first packing part (110). Through this, the user can minimize damage to the cable (20) when storing and using the charger (10) to which the cable (20) is connected.

[0053] In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 4, in the packing box (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the width (B1) of the first groove (112) may be formed to be larger than the width (B2) of the second groove (122). This is to take into account the flow range of the cable (20) accommodated in the first packing part (110) when rotating the second packing part (120).

[0054] In addition, the second groove (122) may be formed by extending from the mounting space (121). As an example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the second groove (122) may be formed by extending from the mounting space (121) and may be formed in a form that is perforated in the vertical direction (z-axis direction). This is to minimize restrictions on the movement of the second packing portion (120) on which the charger (10) is mounted, while at the same time preventing damage to one side of the cable (20).

[0055] Additionally, in a packing box (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first packing portion (110) may include a receiving guide (113) formed to protrude into a receiving space (111) so that the cable (20) is wound and received.

[0056] As illustrated in Fig. 4, a cable (20) can be wound around a receiving guide (113), thereby preventing the cable (20) from being twisted. In addition, by preventing the cable (20) from being twisted, the phenomenon of the cable (20) being broken can also be prevented.

[0057] In addition, when the user uses the charger (10) with the cable (20) connected, the cable (20) wound around the receiving guide (113) can be easily lifted, thereby improving the stability of handling.

[0058] Furthermore, since the cable (20) can be wound and stored through the receiving guide (113), there is an advantage in that the volume use in the receiving space (111) can be optimized and space can be utilized more efficiently.

[0059] And, in the packing box (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first groove (112) may be formed in one direction at the center of one side of the first packing portion (110) as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. This is to facilitate the positioning of one side of the cable (20) connected to the charger (10) when winding the cable (20) around the receiving guide (113).

[0060] In addition, in the packing box (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the second groove (122) may be located at the center of one side of the second packing portion (120) as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. This is because a settling space (121) may be formed at the center of the second packing portion (120) for ease of storage and use of the charger (10) to which the cable (20) is connected.

[0061] In addition, since the second home (122) is located at the center of one side of the second packing part (120), it is possible to minimize external force that may be applied to one side of the cable (20) when storing and using the charger (10) to which the cable (20) is connected, and to prevent damage such as breakage of the cable (20).

[0062] And referring to FIG. 2 together, a packing box (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include a third packing part (130) that is laminated on a second packing part (120). And the third packing part (130) may serve to cover a charger (10) mounted on the second packing part (120).

[0063] In addition, a storage space (131) for storing a fixing member (40) detachable from the charger (10) may be formed on the upper surface of the third packing portion (130). Here, the fixing member (40) may be attached to, for example, a wall surface, etc., and the charger (10) may be detachable from the fixing member (40), thereby fixing the position of the charger (10).

[0064] In addition, in the packing box (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first packing part (110) may include a first handle groove (114) formed on both sides adjacent to one side where the first groove (112) is formed. In addition, the second packing part (120) may include a second handle groove (123) formed at a position corresponding to the first handle groove (114) when stacked on the first packing part (110).

[0065] Additionally, referring to FIGS. 4 and 5 together, the first handle groove (114) may include a folded surface (1141) formed by being folded inwardly on both sides of the first packing portion (110). And, it may include a hook surface (1142) formed by protruding outwardly from the upper portion of the folded surface (1141). In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the third packing portion (130) may include a third handle groove (132) formed on both sides facing each other.

[0066] And the first handle groove (114), second handle groove (123) and third handle groove described above can serve to make it easy for a user to stack or lift the packing box (100) of the present invention.

[0067] More specifically, referring to FIGS. 6 and 7 together, a packing box (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention can be inserted into a packaging member (50) and carried by a user together with the packaging member (50).

[0068] In this case, the user can take out the third packing part (130) from the packaging member (50) through the third handle groove (132). And the user can lift the first packing part (110) and the second packing part (120) through the first handle groove (114) described above and take them out from the packaging member (50).

[0069] At this time, the user can insert his / her finger through the folded surface (1141) formed in the first handle groove (114) illustrated in FIG. 5 and lift the first packing part (110) and the second packing part (120) by hooking his / her finger on the hook surface (1142).

[0070] After that, the user can lift the second packing part (120) through the second handle groove (123) while placing the first packing part (110) and the second packing part (120) on the floor and place the second packing part (120) next to the first packing part (110) as shown in FIG. 4.

[0071] And, the process of inserting the packing box (100) into the packaging member (50) can be performed in the reverse order of the above-described process. That is, after the second packing member (120) is laminated on the first packing member (110), the first packing member (110) and the second packing member (120) can be inserted into the packaging member (50), and the third packing member (130) can be laminated on the second packing member (120).

[0072] FIG. 8 is a drawing for explaining a packing method of a charger with a cable connected according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0073] Hereinafter, a packing method of a charger with a cable connected according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described by summarizing the above-described matters with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

[0074] First, the cable (20) can be accommodated in the accommodation space (111) of the first packing part (110) (S110). Thereafter, the charger (10) can be accommodated in the accommodation space (121) of the second packing part (120) (S120). Then, one side of the cable (20) can be positioned in the first groove (112) of the first packing part (110) and the second groove (122) of the second packing part (120) (S130). Thereafter, the second packing part (120) can be laminated on the first packing part (110) so that the first groove (112) and the second groove (122) face each other vertically.

[0075] Here, when stacking the second packing part (120) on the first packing part (110), the second packing part (120) can be rotated so that one side of the cable (20) is bent, thereby stacking it on the first packing part (110) (S140). In addition, through this, the user can minimize damage to the cable (20) when storing and using the charger (10) to which the cable (20) is connected.

[0076] In addition, a packing method of a charger (10) connected to a cable (20) according to one embodiment of the present invention can include stacking a second packing part (120) on a first packing part (110), and then inserting the first packing part (110) and the second packing part (120) into a packaging member (50) (S150). Thereafter, a third packing part (130) can be stacked on the second packing part (120) to cover the charger (10) (S160).

[0077] And, the process for using the charger (10) with the cable (20) connected to the packing box (100) while it is stored therein can be carried out in the reverse order of the process described above.

[0078] For example, when the packing box (100) is inserted into the packaging member (50), the fixing member (40) stored in the storage space (131) of the third packing part (130) can be taken out and hung on a fixed location such as a wall.

[0079] And after the third packing part (130) is taken out from the packaging member (50) through the third handle groove (132), the first packing part (110) and the second packing part (120) can be taken out from the packaging member (50) through the first handle groove (114). After that, the second packing part (120) laminated on the first packing part (110) can be lifted through the second handle groove (123), thereby separating the first packing part (110) and the second packing part (120).

[0080] And, the cable (20) accommodated in the first packing part (110) and the charger (10) secured in the second packing part (120) can be simultaneously removed from the first packing part (110) and the second packing part (120), and then the charger (10) can be used by being coupled to the fixing member (40).

[0081] In summary, the packing box and packing method according to the present invention facilitate the storage of a charger with a connected cable and enhance the stability of handling for use. Furthermore, the packaging box and method allow the cable to be wound and accommodated, minimizing external forces that may be applied to the end connected to the charger, thereby preventing cable tangling and breakage.

[0082] The above detailed description should not be construed as limiting in any respect and should be considered illustrative only. The scope of the present invention should be determined by a reasonable interpretation of the appended claims, and all modifications within the equivalent scope of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
