Extractor Hood Packing Holder With Segmented Grooves
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to effectively protect expensive and decorative extractor hoods from damage during transportation and installation, as they lack adequate protection against denting and other forms of damage.
Innovation Solution
A packing system comprising packing holders with specific receiving portions and grooves designed to securely hold and position the multi-piece chimney cover and chimney frame, utilizing ribs and varying groove elevations to accommodate different lengths and shapes, ensuring secure and cost-effective packaging.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional packing methods are used for extractor hoods, then the packaging is simple and cost-effective, but the decorative pieces and finishes are not effectively protected from damage during transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging system is divided into multiple specialized receiving portions: a first receiving portion for the extractor hood body, a second receiving portion for the chimney cover, and a third receiving portion for the chimney frame. Each portion provides targeted protection for specific components, resolving the contradiction by organizing complexity into functional segments rather than using a single undifferentiated packaging structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The packaging holder acts as an intermediary structure between the extractor hood components and the external shipping environment. The holder with its specifically designed receiving portions mediates the interaction, providing cushioning and protection while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure that doesn't require complex protective measures.
2Reliability
If conventional packing methods are used for extractor hoods, then the packaging structure is simple, but the components are not securely held and positioned, leading to potential damage
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging holder features localized structural features including grooves, ribs, and recesses positioned at specific locations to match the geometry of the extractor hood components. The first receiving portion has a bottom surface positioned at a first distance from the outer surface, while the second receiving portion has a bottom surface at a second distance, creating locally optimized support and positioning for each component without requiring complex overall structure.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional packing methods are used, then packaging cost is low, but protection against denting and other damage during shipping is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging holder is designed with built-in cushioning features through its structural geometry. The grooves and recesses in the receiving portions create cushioning zones that absorb impacts and prevent denting before damage can occur to the extractor hood components. This beforehand cushioning is integrated into the holder structure itself, providing protection without requiring additional complex cushioning materials or systems.

AI summary
A packing holder for an extractor hood includes a first receiving portion having a first groove configured to receive edges of first and second parts of a chimney cover, the first groove having a bottom surface that is a first distance from an outer surface of an outer side in a thickness direction; a second receiving portion having a second groove configured to receive edges of third and fourth parts of the chimney cover, the second groove having a bottom surface that is a second distance from the outer surface of the outer side in the thickness direction; and a central receiving portion located between the first receiving portion and the second receiving portion along a longitudinal direction that is perpendicular to the thickness direction, and configured to receive a chimney frame, wherein the second distance is smaller than the first distance.
