As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 4, the present disclosure provides a buffering structure 100 for packing an electronic device and placing the electronic device in a packing case 300 (shown in fig. 5) to buffer and cushion the electronic device during transportation or handling. The electronic equipment can be a mobile phone, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, an intelligent television, an intelligent electric appliance and other electronic products. In the following description, a buffering structure applied to a notebook computer is exemplified, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The notebook computer 200 may be generally rectangular in shape and include opposing side portions and opposing upper and lower end portions. The cushioning structure 100 of the present disclosure may be used to package the side and/or upper and lower ends of the notebook computer 200. In the following description, the side portion of the notebook computer 200 is packaged by the buffering structure 100 as an example, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.

The cushioning structure 100 may include a main body 10 and two cushioning members 20. The main body 10 may be substantially rectangular and columnar, and a slot 11 is opened along a length direction X of the main body 10 for inserting an electronic device. For example, the main body 10 may be provided with a pair, and both side portions of the notebook computer 200 are inserted into the slots 11 of the pair of main bodies 10, respectively. The body 10 includes an inner surface 13 and an outer surface 12, wherein a pair of opposing surfaces of the body 10 may be referred to as the inner surfaces 13 and a pair of opposing surfaces of the body 10 may be referred to as the outer surfaces 12. The slot 11 may extend through the inner surface 13 and the outer surface 12. The shape and size of the slot 11 can match with the side of the notebook computer 200. The material of the main body 10 may be any one of the following: expanded polystyrene, expanded polypropylene, expanded polyethylene. In the present disclosure, the through slot 11 may be formed by cutting a portion of the material of the body 10. For example, a rectangular structure is cut out from a rectangular column material by a die cutting tool to form a rectangular slot 11 for inserting the side portion of the notebook computer 200. In addition, compared with a non-through groove, the through slot 11 is easier to die cut, can improve the forming efficiency and further can reduce the labor cost.

When in use, the side edge of the notebook computer 200 is inserted into the slot 11 from the inner surface 13 of the main body 10, and in a state that the side edge of the notebook computer 200 is inserted into the slot 11, the notebook computer 200 effectively supports the main body 10 in the width direction Y of the main body 10, so that the main body 10 can be effectively prevented from being bent.

The pair of buffer members 20 are disposed on the first surface of the main body 10 to absorb an impact force generated by a side collision, thereby providing a buffer effect to the notebook computer 200. The first side of the body 10 is the outer surface 12 of the body 10, i.e., the side adjacent to the package 300 after being placed in the package 300. The buffer member 20 crosses the slot 11 in the width direction Y of the main body 10 to block the side portion of the notebook computer 200 and also to effectively protect the side portion of the notebook computer 200. The material of the cushioning member 20 may be any of the following: expanded polystyrene, expanded polypropylene, expanded polyethylene. The buffering member 20 may be attached to the outer side surface of the body 10 by heat fusion. But is not limited thereto, and in other examples, the buffer member 20 may be fixed to the outer surface of the body 10 by glue. The buffer member 20 and the main body 10 can be integrated into a whole by being attached to the outer surface of the main body 10 by heat fusion, and the attachment is more secure.

The buffer structure 100 may be provided in a pair, and each pair of buffer structures 100 includes a pair of main bodies 10 and a pair of buffer structures 20. When in use, one side edge of the notebook computer 200 is inserted into the slot 11 of the main body 10 at one side, and one side edge is abutted against the pair of buffering components 20, and the other side edge of the notebook computer 200 is inserted into the slot 11 of the main body 10 at the other side, and the other side edge is abutted against the other pair of buffering components 20. As a result, the pair of buffer structures 100 clamp the two sides of the notebook computer 200 to limit and fix the notebook computer 200, so as to prevent the notebook computer 200 from shaking relative to the buffer structures 100 after being placed in the packing box 300.

Here, as shown in fig. 3, a dimension of the buffer member 20 in the length direction X of the main body 10 is equal to a dimension of the slot 11 in the width direction Y of the main body 10, that is, a width D1 of the buffer member 20 is equal to a width D2 of the slot 11. Just because the width of the buffering component 20 is the same as the width of the slot 11, the buffering component 20 can effectively utilize the material left by the slot 11 opened in the main body 10, and the left material is cut according to the required length of the buffering component 20, for example, the left material is cut into the required length of the buffering component 20 by a die cutting tool, and a die matched with the size and the shape of the required buffering component 20 is not required to be additionally arranged. Like this, can save the mould cost, can also save material cost, and cut simple process, can also reduce the cost of labor by a wide margin.

In the structure shown in fig. 4, the buffer structure 100 is used to package a notebook computer, which has a rectangular shape, so that the main body 10 is configured in a rectangular column shape, thereby stably limiting and fixing the notebook computer. If some irregular-shaped electronic devices are fixed, the overall shape of the main body 10 may be changed accordingly to fix the electronic devices to be fixed. For example, when the buffering structure 100 is used to package an electronic device having a circular structure, the main body 10 may be formed to have a fan-shaped structure corresponding to the structure of the electronic device having a circular structure. For another example, when the buffer structure is used to package an electronic apparatus having a left-right asymmetric structure, the left body 10 may be formed in a structure corresponding to the left structure of the electronic apparatus, and the right body 10 may be formed in a structure corresponding to the right structure of the electronic apparatus. In other words, the opposing pair of bodies 10 may have the same structure, may have a symmetrical structure, or may have different structures from each other.

In one embodiment, a pair of cushioning members 20 are respectively disposed on a first surface of the body 10, i.e., both end portions of the outer surface 12, along the longitudinal direction X of the body 10. Since the corners of the notebook computer 200 are easy to collide when transporting or carrying the devices, the two end portions of the outer surface 12 of the main body 10 are respectively provided with the buffer parts 20, so that the corners of the notebook computer 200 can be effectively protected, and the notebook computer 200 can be prevented from colliding or being scratched.

In one embodiment, the opposite surfaces of the two buffer members 20 are flush with both end surfaces of the body 10 in the length direction X. With such an arrangement, the opposite surfaces of the two buffering parts 20 are respectively located on the same plane with the two end surfaces of the main body 10, so that the notebook computer 200 can be stably packaged after the buffering structure 100 with the notebook computer fixed therein is placed in the packaging box 300. That is, the sealing of the packing case 300 is not affected by the high end of the buffering member 20. There is no possibility that the electronic apparatus 200 may be shaken after the electronic apparatus 200 is packaged in the packing box due to a height difference between the buffer member 20 and the main body 10.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the buffering structure 100 further includes a placement member 30 detachably disposed on the first surface, i.e., the outer surface 12, of the main body 10 and between the pair of buffering members 20 for receiving an article. For example, the placement member 30 may receive an accessory that matches the notebook computer 200, or a gift that is sold along with the notebook computer 200, such as a data cable, a stylus, a headset, etc. When a gift is sold along with the notebook computer 200, the placing part 30 may be mounted on the first surface of the main body 10. When no gift is needed, the placement member 30 can be removed. Since the product may have a product combination strategy in the actual sale process, the detachable storage component 30 can conveniently adjust the product combination strategy, so as to increase or decrease the number of products in the packing box 300. In the past, the applicable buffer structure can be adjusted according to the increase or decrease of the number of products in the packing box, so that various types of buffer structures need to be adapted in advance, and the cost is quite high. This is disclosed puts thing part 30 through the detachable, can improve buffer structure 100's commonality for can compatible different sales combination forms in the packing box, it is more nimble, and economical and practical. On the other hand, the object placing component 30 is positioned between the pair of buffering components 20, so that the gap between the pair of buffering components 20 is effectively utilized, the space is saved, and the occupation of the transportation or storage space is reduced.

The material of the placement member 30 may be any of: expanded polystyrene, expanded polypropylene, expanded polyethylene.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, two side surfaces of the main body 10 are respectively opened with notches 14, and the notches 14 are opened toward the first surface of the main body 10, that is, toward the outer surface 12 of the main body 10. The surface of the article placing component 30 opposite to the first surface is provided with a U-shaped groove 33, and two protruding parts 31 opposite to the U-shaped groove 33 can be respectively embedded into the notch 14, so that the article placing component 30 is clamped and fixed on the main body 10. In one example, the outer surfaces of the pair of projections 31 are flush with the side surfaces of the body 10. Notches 14 penetrating the inner surface 13 and the outer surface 12 of the main body 10 may be respectively formed at both side surfaces of the main body 10 by a die cutting tool. Then, a rectangular material is prepared, a U-shaped groove 33 which is communicated with the left and the right is formed in the lower surface of the rectangular material through a die cutting tool, and the sizes of the opposite bulges 31 of the U-shaped groove 33 are kept consistent with the sizes of the notches 14, so that the bulges 31 are tightly matched with the notches 14. The outer surfaces of the pair of protrusions 31 are respectively positioned on the same plane as the side surfaces of the main body 10, so that the notebook computer 200 can be stably packaged after the cushioning structure 100 to which the notebook computer is fixed is placed in the packing case 300. That is, the space of the packing case 300 is not occupied by the two protrusions 31 of the placement member 30 being high.

In addition, the surface of the object placing member 30 away from the first surface (outer surface 12) of the main body 10 is provided with an accommodating groove 34 for accommodating an object. The containing groove can be a groove, and the groove can be provided with one or more grooves for containing one or more gifts. For example, the grooves may include a first groove, a second groove, and a third groove. Wherein, along the length direction X of the object placing component 30, the second groove is arranged at one side of the first groove, the third groove is arranged at the other side of the first groove, the second groove is communicated with the first groove, and the third groove is also communicated with the first groove. Through the arrangement of the first groove, the second groove and the third groove, accessories of the notebook computer 100 or gifts sold with the notebook computer 100, such as a data line, a USB flash disk, a handwriting pen, earphones and the like, can be respectively placed in the first groove, the second groove and the third groove, so that sufficient space is provided for different articles to be placed. Compared with the conventional packaging structure which is used for independently setting gifts, the packaging structure has the advantages that the material quantity is reduced, and the material cost is greatly reduced.

In another example, the receiving groove 34 may be a dovetail groove, and the dovetail groove may penetrate through the left and right end surfaces of the storage component 30. Since the object placing part 30 is located on the outer surface 12 of the main body 10, the outer surface is a side surface, and the accommodating groove 34 is configured as a dovetail groove to effectively prevent the gift from falling off and being scratched and damaged in consideration of the possibility of easy detachment when the gift is placed. When a gift is required to be attached to the notebook computer 200, the gift 400 is inserted into the receiving groove 34, and then the two protrusions 31 of the lower part of the placement member 30 are inserted into the corresponding notches 14 of the main body 10.

In one embodiment, the surface of the first surface (outer surface 12) of the placement member 30 away from the main body 10 is lower than or flush with the surface of the buffering member 20 away from the first surface (outer surface 12). With the arrangement, the pair of buffering parts 20 and the object placing part 30 can form a height difference, and the buffering parts 20 can effectively protect the gift and ensure that the gift is not damaged by impact.

As shown in fig. 5, a package 300 for packaging electronic devices according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a box 310 and at least one pair of buffer structures 100. The pair of buffer structures 100 are disposed in the box 310, and respectively clamped at two opposite sides of the electronic device, so as to perform a buffering and shock-absorbing function on the electronic device, wherein the buffer structure is the buffer structure 100 according to any of the above embodiments.
