Segmented LCD Cushioning Structure for Space-Efficient Shipping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional package cushioning structures for liquid crystal display modules require large spaces and high shipping costs due to their non-separable design, leading to inefficient use of space and increased transportation expenses.
Innovation Solution
A package cushioning structure featuring two opposite cushioning side boards, multiple cushioning position-limiting boards, and connection plates that couple the side boards and position-limiting boards in a releasable manner, allowing for efficient bundling and reduced volume during transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a unitary cushioning structure is used to protect liquid crystal display modules, then the protection effect is good, but the shipping space is large and shipping cost is high
Solution Approach 1:
The cushioning structure is divided into multiple independent components: cushioning bottom board, cushioning side boards, and cushioning position-limiting boards. These segmented components can be separately packaged and shipped, then assembled at the destination to form the complete protective structure, thereby reducing shipping space while maintaining protection effectiveness
2Ease of operation
If a unitary cushioning structure is used, then the structure is simple to assemble, but the shipping cost is high due to large space occupation
Solution Approach 1:
The structure is segmented into standardized components with uniform connection interfaces. Each component is independently packaged, and at the destination, they are quickly assembled using the standardized connection mechanisms (mounting slots and position-limiting slots), maintaining ease of assembly while dramatically reducing shipping volume and cost
3Volume of stationary object
If cushioning components are separated for shipping, then the shipping space is reduced, but the structure complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cushioning structure is segmented into modular components, but the complexity is managed through standardized connection interfaces (mounting slots, position-limiting slots) and uniform assembly procedures. This modular design with standardization reduces the perceived complexity while enabling space-efficient shipping

AI summary
Disclosed is a package cushioning structure for liquid crystal display modules, which includes two opposite cushioning side boards, a plurality of cushioning position-limiting boards arranged between the two cushioning side boards, and a plurality of connection plates connecting the cushioning side boards and the cushioning position-limiting boards. The cushioning side boards form first retention slots corresponding to the connection plates. The cushioning position-limiting boards form second retention slots corresponding to the connection plates. The connection plates form first and second coupling sections respectively corresponding to the first and second retention slots, whereby the first and second coupling sections are respectively received in and retained by the first and second retention slots to couple the cushioning side boards and the cushioning position-limiting boards together in a releasable manner.
