Swingable Support Plate Buffer Packaging for Impact Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional packaging structures for products like watermelon are not conducive to storage and transportation due to lack of effective buffering and support, leading to potential damage during handling and stacking.
Innovation Solution
A buffer packaging design featuring a stretchable main body with receiving holes and swingable support plates that provide protection by adjusting positions to encompass and support the object, allowing for secure stacking and storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If conventional packaging structure is used, then stacking and lightweight properties are achieved, but protection and buffering capability are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The support plate is designed to be swingable between a first position (parallel to the stretching direction) and a second position (perpendicular to the stretching direction), transforming a static structure into a dynamic one that adapts to different operational states for optimized protection and stacking
Solution Approach 2:
The packaging is divided into functional segments: a stretchable main body with receiving holes for buffering, and separate support plates that can be positioned independently, allowing each component to perform its specific function optimally
2Strength
If packaging provides good buffering protection, then object protection is improved, but storage and transportation efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The swingable support plate enables the packaging to dynamically change its volume and shape - extending to provide maximum protection during transportation, then collapsing to a compact form for space-efficient storage, resolving the contradiction between protection and storage efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
When the support plate is in the second position, the packaging structure allows multiple units to be nested or stacked compactly, with the support plate fitting within the main body contours, enabling space-saving storage while maintaining full protection capability when deployed
