Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a packing device for an indoor unit of an air conditioner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A packing device as shown in FIG. 5, for example, is used for packing an indoor unit of an air conditioner. This packing device has a pair of cushioning members 14 and 15 having a recess 12 for holding and holding the left and right ends of the indoor unit 11 on one side, and a grip 13 on the other side, and a remote controller. An accessory box 16 for accommodating accessories such as a device and arranged at the lower part of the indoor unit 11, and a sleeve-shaped exterior cardboard 17 for accommodating a set of these accessories. The movement of the cushioning members 14 and 15 housed in 17 is regulated. It should be noted that the cushioning members 14 and 15 are made of foamed synthetic resin (foamed polystyrene) having a uniform foaming density.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional packing device, it is difficult to visually determine whether the winding state of the band 18 is proper (whether the band 18 is wound with an appropriate load). In the case where the strength of the outer corrugated cardboard decreases with time or when the cushioning members 14 and 15 are settled, the fastening force of the band 18 is weakened, and the packing state may become unstable. In addition, the conventional packing apparatus has a problem in that the band 18 is used in a large amount because the band 18 is wound in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a packaging device for an air conditioner that can solve these problems.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is provided on one side with a recess for accommodating and holding an end of an indoor unit of an air conditioner, and on the other side. A pair of cushioning members provided with a grip portion, a sleeve-shaped exterior cardboard that accommodates the indoor unit together with the cushioning members,
In a packaging device for an air conditioner, which comprises a band that restricts the movement of the cushioning member housed in the same outer cardboard, while providing recesses in the front and rear of the upper surfaces of the cushioning members,
A notch having a predetermined length is provided inward from the upper left and right ends of the front and rear surfaces of the exterior cardboard, and at least three folds corresponding to the recesses provided in the upper surface of the cushioning member are formed between the front and left and right of the upper surface, respectively. The band is wound around the outside of the outer cardboard that is folded into the recess.

Further, when the winding state by the band is proper, the end surface of the outer cardboard folded into the recess on the upper surface of the cushioning member is substantially aligned with the upper surface of the cushioning member.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.
~ It demonstrates based on FIG. 1A and 1B
Indicates the packing device for the indoor unit.
It is made of foamed synthetic resin and has a recessed portion 2 on one side with the back side of the indoor unit 1 facing down and housing and holding the left and right ends, and a grip portion 3 on the other side. A pair of cushioning members 5A and 5B having a recess 4, an accessory box (not shown) for accommodating accessories such as a remote controller and arranged at the lower part of the indoor unit 1, and a sleeve-like exterior for accommodating a set thereof. Cardboard 6 and exterior cardboard 6 as shown in FIG.
And a band 7 that restricts the movement of the cushioning members 5A and 5B housed in the exterior cardboard 6.

As shown in FIG. 2, the exterior cardboard 6 has a back surface 6a, a top surface 6b, a front surface 6c, a bottom surface 6d, and a back surface 6a.
It is made of a piece of cardboard paper in which a fixing surface (glue margin) 6e to the back is continuously provided, and notches 6f of a predetermined length are provided inward from the upper left and right ends of both front and rear surfaces (6c and 6a) of the upper surface 6b Before and after, three folds 6g corresponding to the recesses 4 provided on the upper surfaces of the cushioning members 5A and 5B are formed, respectively, and are accommodated in the recesses 4 provided on the upper surfaces of the cushioning members 5A and 5B. The width a of the notch 6f is substantially equal to the depth of the recess 4 on the buffer members 5A and 5B side.

FIG. 3 shows a packed state of the indoor unit 1 and its accessory box 7 using the packing device described above.
By wrapping the band 8 on the outside of the exterior cardboard 6 folded into the recess 4, the upper surface 3 of the exterior cardboard 6
The left and right sides are folded in the recesses 4 of the cushioning members 5A and 5B, respectively, and the movements of the cushioning members 5A and 5B are restricted.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a part (left side) of the packing device described above. FIG. 4A shows a state before the band 8 is wound, and FIG. ,
Both (C) and (D) show the state after the band 8 is wound, and when the winding state by the band 8 is proper, as shown in (B), the cushioning is performed. The end face 6b 'of the exterior cardboard 1 folded into the recess 4 on the upper surface of the member 5A
Is substantially aligned with the upper surface 5a of the buffer member 5A.

Therefore, when the tightening by the band 8 is weak, as shown in FIG.
b ′ becomes higher than the upper surface 5a of the cushioning member 5A, and when the tightening is strong, the end surface 6b ′ of the outer cardboard 1 becomes lower than the upper surface 5a of the cushioning member 5A as shown in FIG.
Whether or not the winding state of the band 8 is proper can be judged at a glance.

[0011]

With the packing apparatus as described above, it is possible to easily confirm whether or not the band is properly tightened, so that the adjustment can be performed easily, and with the passage of time after packing, the outer cardboard Even if the strength is reduced or the cushioning member is settled, the packing state does not become unstable, and the winding direction of the band is different from the conventional one, and the usage amount is small, which also reduces costs. Become.
