Laminated Paperboard Shipping Riser for Stable Roll Transport
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional shipping risers are inefficient due to their bulkiness and weight, which leads to increased storage and transportation costs, and they fail to provide optimal stability for cylindrical goods like paper rolls during transit, as they either collapse under edge loading or require excessive space due to their design.
Innovation Solution
A shipping riser composed of laminated structures, including a central and outer laminated structure, with varying densities of corrugated and honeycomb paperboard, strategically positioned to enhance load-bearing capabilities and reduce weight, featuring slots for interlocking and assembly, allowing for customizable configurations to support paper rolls effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If traditional stick or pad risers are used, then load stability is improved, but weight and bulkiness increase leading to higher storage and transportation costs
Solution Approach 1:
The riser is constructed from multiple layers of paperboard with different densities and structural characteristics (corrugated and honeycomb patterns). This composite structure provides enhanced strength and stability while maintaining lightweight properties, resolving the contradiction between load stability and weight.
Solution Approach 2:
The riser is divided into multiple laminated structures with varying densities positioned at different locations. The structure includes lighter honeycomb paperboard in less critical areas and denser corrugated paperboard where strength is needed, optimizing the weight-stability balance.
2Stability of the object's composition
If traditional pad risers covering large surface area are used, then roll stability is improved, but storage space efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using a single large pad riser, the invention employs multiple smaller laminated structures positioned strategically. This segmented approach provides adequate support and stability for the roll while reducing the total volume and improving storage efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The riser structure uses varying densities of paperboard materials positioned at specific locations based on structural needs. This allows for optimized material distribution that maintains stability where required while minimizing overall material usage and volume.
3Strength
If denser paperboard materials are used, then compression strength is improved, but weight increases
Solution Approach 1:
The riser combines different types of paperboard (corrugated and honeycomb patterns) with varying densities. This composite construction provides the necessary compression strength through structural design rather than relying solely on high-density materials, thereby maintaining lightweight properties.
Solution Approach 2:
Denser corrugated paperboard is used only in specific areas where compression strength is critical, while lighter honeycomb paperboard is used in other areas. This localized material selection optimizes the strength-to-weight ratio of the overall structure.
