Integrated Container Protection Member Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing containers used for transporting display panels or similar objects often cause cracking or chipping due to applied acceleration, as corner protection members either rotate and collide with the panel or shift under load, leading to damage.
Innovation Solution
A container design featuring protection members with receiving and support portions that are integrated with the side surface members, including protruding portions to disperse forces and prevent rotation, thereby reducing the likelihood of corner damage during transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a detachable corner protection member is used in the container, then the container can accommodate both display panels and display panel modules using common container main body and lid, but when large acceleration is applied during transportation, the corner protection member rotates and causes corner cracking of the display panel
Solution Approach 1:
The protection member is integrally formed with the side surface member, merging two separate components into one unified structure. This eliminates the detachment interface that causes rotation under acceleration, while maintaining the ability to accommodate different objects (display panels or display panel modules) through the integrated design of the protection member that adapts to various accommodation needs.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the corner protection member is made detachable to fit into the container, then the container structure becomes more versatile, but the protection member shifts easily under collision load causing display panel damage
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating the protection member with the side surface member into a single unified structure, the invention eliminates the detachment interface that allows shifting under load. The integrated design ensures the protection member remains firmly positioned during transportation while maintaining container versatility through the protective function built into the unified structure.
3Reliability
If the protection member is integrated with the side surface member, then the protection member stability improves and rotation is prevented, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The integration of the protection member with the side surface member creates a unified structure that prevents rotation and shifting, improving reliability. The design maintains simplicity by forming the protection member as an integral part of the side surface member rather than adding separate complex mechanisms, thus achieving enhanced stability without significantly increasing overall device complexity.

AI summary
A bottom surface member of a container defines an xy plane, and a side surface member defines an xz plane and a yz plane. A protection member includes a receiving portion having a receiving surface parallel to the xz plane and a support portion integrally formed with the receiving portion. The receiving portion includes a first flat plate portion that includes the receiving surface and is parallel to the xz plane. The support portion includes a contact portion that is in contact with a side surface of the side surface member and a second flat plate portion parallel to the yz plane.
