Solution Overview

Problem

Existing packaging methods for network distribution frames result in product abrasion during transportation, increased packaging volumes, and higher logistics costs due to the use of plastic bags, which is environmentally unfriendly.

Innovation Solution

A packaging box with an inner structure featuring an isolated protection board that divides the space into multiple chambers, using foldable boards to protect and separate components, eliminating the need for plastic bags and optimizing space usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If plastic PE bags or buffer foam bags are used to package parts separately, then product protection during transportation is improved, but packaging costs increase and environmental friendliness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct protectionVSAvoidenvironmental friendliness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter from plastic PE bags to corrugated cardboard partition boards, maintaining protective function while improving environmental compatibility. The partition boards use wave-shaped corrugation structure to provide cushioning and protection without plastic materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses disposable corrugated cardboard partition boards instead of reusable plastic bags. These partition boards are designed for single-use packaging, providing adequate protection during transportation and then being discarded, aligning with the principle of using simple, inexpensive, and environmentally acceptable disposable materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

2Reliability

If plastic PE bags or buffer foam bags are used to package parts separately, then product protection during transportation is improved, but packaging costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct protectionVSAvoidpackaging costs
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes from expensive plastic PE bags and buffer foam bags to cost-effective corrugated cardboard partition boards. The cardboard material is inherently cheaper and the simple folding assembly process reduces manufacturing complexity and labor costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs inexpensive corrugated cardboard partition boards as disposable packaging elements. These partition boards provide sufficient protection at a lower cost compared to plastic bags, reducing overall packaging expenses while maintaining product safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

3Adaptability or versatility

If packaging boxes are enlarged to accommodate network modules, then product adaptability is improved, but logistics costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct adaptabilityVSAvoidpackaging volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses partition boards to divide the packaging box interior into separate compartments. This segmentation allows different network modules and distribution frame components to be organized in designated areas, enabling adaptable packaging for various product combinations without requiring a larger overall box volume.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The partition boards are designed to be foldable and reconfigurable, allowing the packaging structure to dynamically adapt to different product configurations. The same packaging box can accommodate different combinations of network modules by adjusting the partition board arrangements, providing versatility without increasing box size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The present invention discloses an inner packaging structure for a network distribution frame, used to package a distribution frame body and a bracket, including an isolated protection board, wherein the isolated protection board can divide an internal space of a packaging box into at least two product placing chambers, and the isolated protection board can mutually abut against at least part of areas of at least one of the distribution frame body and the bracket. A packaging box for a network distribution frame further includes a cover body and a box body with an open top, and the inner packaging structure is located in the box body. A packaging method for a network distribution frame includes the following steps: placing the distribution frame body and the bracket in the box body, and separating the distribution frame body from the bracket by the isolated protection board; and limiting the distribution frame body and the bracket to complete packaging by using fastening of a top cover of the cover body and the box body. The present invention ensures no abrasion in the transportation process while realizing deplasticization packaging of products, decreases the volume of similar product packaging boxes on the market by nearly 50%, and saves logistics costs for enterprises and customers.
