Foldable Packaging Structure with Inserting Slot for Goods Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional packaging materials, particularly those made of plastic, pose environmental concerns and fail to effectively position goods during transportation, leading to damage and inconvenience in picking and placing.
Innovation Solution
A packaging material structure featuring a supporting plate, base plate, foldable areas, inserting elements, and slots, which allows for flexible bending to form a frame body, providing secure positioning and ease of handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional plastic packaging materials are used, then the packaging is simple and inexpensive, but the packaging causes environmental pollution and fails to effectively position goods
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the material parameter from plastic to eco-friendly materials (paper, cardboard, wood, or biodegradable plastics), transforming the packaging from environmentally harmful to eco-compatible while maintaining goods positioning effectiveness through structural design
Solution Approach 2:
The packaging structure is divided into multiple functional components (supporting plate, base plate, foldable areas, inserting elements) that work together to position goods effectively without requiring traditional plastic materials
2Adaptability or versatility
If there is space between goods and packaging structure, then the packaging allows for manufacturing tolerances and shape correspondence, but the goods are easily damaged due to shaking during transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging structure incorporates foldable areas and flexible base plates that can dynamically adjust to match the shape of inserted goods, providing both adaptability to different goods shapes and secure positioning to prevent shaking damage during transportation
Solution Approach 2:
Different parts of the packaging structure have specialized properties: the base plate provides flexible adaptation to goods shape, while the supporting plate and inserting elements provide rigid positioning to prevent shaking, creating local quality differentiation for simultaneous adaptability and protection
3Reliability
If there is no space between goods and packaging structure, then the goods are securely positioned, but the convenience of picking and placing the goods is not ideal
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging is segmented into a frame body structure and detachable inserting elements, allowing the frame to provide secure positioning while the detachable elements can be easily removed for convenient picking and placing of goods
Solution Approach 2:
The insertable elements act as intermediaries between the goods and the frame body, providing a mechanism that maintains secure positioning when inserted while allowing easy removal for convenient access to goods
4Reliability
If conventional packaging structures are used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the packaging cannot effectively prevent goods damage from shaking
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging structure is segmented into functional components (supporting plate, base plate, foldable areas, inserting elements) that can be manufactured separately and assembled, providing effective shock absorption while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through modular construction
Solution Approach 2:
The base plate and foldable areas utilize flexible materials that can be bent and folded to create cushioning and positioning structures, providing effective protection from shaking while maintaining relatively simple manufacturing processes

AI summary
A packaging material structure includes a supporting plate, a base plate, a first foldable area, an inserting element and an inserting slot. The supporting plate has a supporting side and a supporting surface. The base plate is connected to the supporting side and has a base plate side, and the base plate includes two base plate folding lines separately disposed on the base plate. The first foldable area is disposed on the supporting plate, and the supporting plate and the base plate are bent toward each other along the first foldable area. The inserting element is integrally connected to the base plate side. The inserting slot is disposed on the supporting plate. The base plate is for bending toward the supporting surface along the two base plate folding lines, so that the inserting element is correspondingly inserted in the inserting slot.
