Modular Packaging Box with Adjustable Stop Walls for Liquid Crystal Panels
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing packaging solutions for liquid crystal panels are costly due to the use of expensive foam materials and require multiple sizes of packaging boxes, which cannot be reused for panels of different sizes.
Innovation Solution
A modular packaging box system comprising a bottom plate, third box-body splicing elements, and adjustable stop walls with connective units, allowing for varying lengths to accommodate liquid crystal panels of different sizes, made from plastic material.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If foam material is used for packaging, then protection performance is improved, but packaging cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces expensive foam material with a disposable paper-based packaging box that provides sufficient protection for liquid crystal panels during transportation. The paper box is designed to be single-use, eliminating the need for costly foam materials while maintaining adequate protection performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses composite material construction by combining multiple layers of paperboard with different properties (e.g., kraft paper, corrugated paper) to create a packaging structure that achieves foam-like protection performance through layered design, thereby avoiding the use of expensive foam materials.
2Manufacturing precision
If packaging boxes of different sizes are used for different panel sizes, then packaging accuracy is improved, but packaging cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging box is divided into modular components including a base body and multiple adjustable stop walls that can be independently configured. This segmentation allows the same box to be adapted to different panel sizes by repositioning or removing stop walls, eliminating the need for multiple box sizes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent designs a universal packaging box that can accommodate liquid crystal panels of various sizes through adjustable stop walls and modular components. A single box design serves multiple packaging needs, replacing the requirement for multiple specialized box sizes and reducing overall packaging costs.
3Device complexity
If packaging boxes cannot be reused for different sizes, then packaging simplicity is improved, but resource waste increases
Solution Approach 1:
The packaging box incorporates dynamic elements such as adjustable and removable stop walls that can be repositioned based on panel size requirements. This dynamic configuration allows the same box to be reused for different panel sizes, reducing resource waste while maintaining packaging simplicity through standardized box designs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables recovery and reuse of packaging boxes by designing them with adjustable components that can be reconfigured for different panel sizes. Instead of discarding boxes after single use, the modular design allows boxes to be recovered and reused multiple times, reducing resource waste while maintaining operational simplicity.

AI summary
The present invention provides a packaging box and stop wall of packaging box. The packaging box includes at least bottom plate, four third box-body splicing elements and four stop walls. The third box-body splicing element is fixed at each corner of the bottom plate and the two ends of stop wall are connected respectively to the two third box-body splicing elements on a side of the bottom plate and fixed between the two third box-body splicing elements to form with the bottom plate a semi-closed packaging box having open top. As such, the present invention can realize the packaging of liquid crystal panels of different sizes and increase the utilization efficiency of the packaging box to protect the liquid crystal panels as well as reducing packaging cost.
