Expandable Liquid Crystal Panel Packaging Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing packaging devices for large-sized liquid crystal display panels are difficult and costly to manufacture due to the need for large injection molding equipment, and they have low recyclability and adjustability, making them inefficient for use and recycling.
Innovation Solution
A packaging device comprising two main bodies that can be adjusted, where one main body moves into the other to form a loading space for the panel, allowing expansion for large panels and reduction for recycling, without requiring large injection molding equipment, using features like guiding tracks, buffer parts, and locking mechanisms for secure assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a large-sized monolithic packaging device is manufactured using injection molding, then it can provide sufficient protection for large liquid crystal panels, but it requires larger injection molding equipment which increases manufacturing difficulty and cost
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging device is divided into multiple separable components including a first main body and a second main body that can be manufactured independently using standard injection molding equipment, then assembled together to form the complete packaging structure, eliminating the need for large-scale injection molding equipment
Solution Approach 2:
The second main body is designed to be movable and nestable within the first main body, allowing the components to be stored or transported in a compact configuration while providing sufficient protection volume when assembled, effectively reducing the required manufacturing and storage space
2Adaptability or versatility
If a large-sized monolithic packaging device is used, then it can accommodate large liquid crystal panels, but it has low recyclability and reusability due to its fixed size and non-adjustable appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging device incorporates movable and adjustable components, particularly the second main body that can move relative to the first main body, enabling the packaging structure to be reconfigured for different panel sizes and reused multiple times rather than being a fixed single-use structure
Solution Approach 2:
By dividing the packaging into separable main bodies that can be independently handled and reconfigured, the system enables flexible adaptation to different panel dimensions while maintaining structural integrity, thereby improving recyclability and reusability

AI summary
Disclosed is a packaging device for a liquid crystal panel, including a first main body having a bottom and a plurality of sidewalls connected to sides of bottom. The sidewalls define at least one opening. At least one second main body has a bottom and sidewalls connected to the bottom and define an opening that is movably received in the at least one opening of the first main body such that the packaging device is expandable by moving the second main body in a direction away from the first main body.
