Shock-Absorbing Packing Member for Fragile Electronic Parts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional packing methods for electronic devices with fragile parts fail to adequately protect these parts from breakage during transportation, often requiring multiple components that complicate packing and unpacking and result in unnecessary waste.
Innovation Solution
A packing member comprising a body portion with folding lines and shock absorbing members that form a protective structure around the fragile parts, allowing easy assembly and disassembly while providing protection from external shocks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If common packing methods are used for electronic devices with fragile parts, then the packing process is simple, but the fragile parts are not adequately protected from breakage during transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the protective function and the structural support function into a single integrated packing member. The body portion provides structural support while the shock absorbing member provides protection, merging multiple functions into one component rather than using separate protectors and spacers.
Solution Approach 2:
The packing member is designed to serve multiple purposes: the body portion supports the product and maintains structure, while the shock absorbing member specifically protects fragile parts from shocks. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate protective components.
2Reliability
If a spacer is used to enclose or fill the movable part, then the fragile part is protected, but the number of members increases and the packing process becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the protective function into the main packing member structure. The shock absorbing member is positioned within the body portion to directly protect the fragile part, eliminating the need for separate spacer components and simplifying the packing process to a single assembly operation.
3Reliability
If multiple protection members are used during transportation, then the fragile part is protected, but the number of members increases and environmental load increases due to disposal requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a single integrated packing member that combines protective and structural functions. This eliminates multiple separate protection members that would need to be disposed of, reducing material waste and environmental impact while maintaining adequate protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The packing member is designed to be multi-functional, serving both as structural support and as protective element. This reduces the total number of components needed, minimizing material consumption and disposal requirements.
4Device complexity
If the side face portion is not provided continuously with the body portion, then the shock absorbing member can be disposed along one side, but the structural integrity may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The shock absorbing member acts as an intermediary element that connects to the body portion at specific locations through the holding structure. This allows the side face portion to be discontinuous while maintaining structural integrity through the shock absorbing member's anchoring points.

AI summary
A packing member (1) includes a body portion (10) and a shock absorbing member (17, 18, 19). The body portion (10) includes a bottom face portion (11) that is rectangular in shape and on which a packed article (4) is placed, and a side face portion (12a to 12c) that is provided continuously with the bottom face portion (11) via folding lines along its three sides. The body portion (10) is assembled by folding a piece of sheet. The shock absorbing member (17, 18, 19) is disposed along one side of the body portion (10) along which the side face portion (12a to 12c) is not provided continuously with it. The shock absorbing member (17, 18, 19) has a holding structure that keeps the side face portion (12a to 12c) upright relative to the bottom face portion (11).
