Description

  The present invention relates to a shipping box including a packing box for storing and storing a product by a buffering means and a protective box for protecting the packing box against shocks and vibrations in the transportation and transportation of products such as electronic devices. Is.

  In general, when a product is sold, the packaging process is performed for the purpose of protecting the function, performance, and appearance of the product in consideration of the transportation environment from the production area to the end user. The form of the packing process varies depending on the product and the type of industry, but in precision equipment such as electronic equipment, it has a shock absorbing property made of foam or cushioning material that protects the product from impact and vibration during transportation and transportation. The mainstream is to hold the product with a cushioning material and store it in a packing box made of cardboard or cardboard.

  These packing members including packing boxes and cushioning materials are designed on the assumption that the product is transported once until the product reaches the end user from the production area. Therefore, under conditions that are repeatedly transported, such as equipment that is rented to customers that are frequently transported and equipment that reaches the end user via multiple relay locations and bases, the packaging box is damaged or crushed, and the cushioning material May occur, which may adversely affect product quality.

  A double packing box is known as a conventional method for solving these problems. (For example, see Patent Document 1). This technique has a configuration in which an outer surface of a packaging box applied to a product is held by a cushioning material, and further stored in a packaging box made of cardboard or the like.

  As another conventional method, a dedicated packing box is known. This technique adopts a configuration in which a cushioning material and a packaging box designed so as not to cause breakage or crushing of the packaging box or cracking of the cushioning material even under the condition of being repeatedly conveyed for each product.

  As another conventional method, replacement with a new packaging member is known. This method uses a packaging box or cushioning material that is applied to a product designed for one-time transportation until the product reaches the end user's hand from the production site under repeated transportation conditions. It is replaced with a new packaging box or cushioning material for each conveyance.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-237846

  As described above, the conventional techniques have the following problems.

  In the double packing box, the final packing size becomes large, transportation and handling at the time of transport and transportation efficiency decrease, and in addition to the outer box constituting the double packing box and the above-mentioned one-time transport Development of cushioning material that holds the outer surface of the packaging box that is applied to products that are designed on the assumption is carried out for each newly developed product. There is a problem that needs to be done.

  In dedicated packaging boxes, development of packaging boxes and cushioning materials that can withstand repeated transport is done for each product, so it is necessary to develop and evaluate dedicated packaging boxes including packaging boxes and cushioning materials each time, The packaging member is also expensive.

  In replacement with a new packaging member, management of a replacement packaging member and storage space are required, and replacement costs and replacement man-hours for a new packaging member are generated each time the product is transported. In addition, when passing through a plurality of relay points or bases, there is a problem that the replacement packing member cannot be substantially prepared at the relay points or bases.

  An object of the present invention is to a product designed on the assumption that the product is transported only once until the product arrives at the end user's hand from the production site in response to shock and vibration in the transportation and transportation of the product such as an electronic device. It is to provide a packing form that is inexpensive, does not require development for each product, has high transport efficiency, and can withstand repeated transport several times by utilizing the applied packing member.

  Furthermore, the problem of the present invention is that the provided protection box is easy to assemble and dismantle, and even when stored at a relay point or base or returned to a shipping place, storage and management space is small and handling is also easy. It is to make it easy.

  Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to use a packaging member that is applied to a product that is designed to be transported only once until the product reaches the end user from the production area. The additional evaluation is unnecessary for the buffer effect.

  If the packaging box is deformed or damaged due to shock or vibration during transportation, the cushioning material may be damaged due to the gap between the packaging box and the cushioning material, or the positional relationship between the cushioning material and the product may change. May not be able to hold the product sufficiently. In such a state, the designed buffering effect cannot be obtained, which generally leads to damage to the apparatus.

  In order to prevent such a phenomenon, a protective box made of a member that is resistant to deformation and damage surrounding the outer surface of the packing box is added to the packing box that holds the product by holding it with a buffer means. It is effective to protect the packaging box from deformation and damage against shock and vibration during transportation and transportation.

  In the protective box, the present invention provides a joint member that forms a holding groove having a slit shape that holds three planes orthogonal to each other at eight vertices of a rectangular parallelepiped, and is formed of a rectangular flat plate with both ends of each side being 6 plate members joined to the joint member by being inserted into the holding grooves formed in the joint member, and assembling and disassembling by inserting and removing both ends of the plate member into each holding groove formed in each joint member It was possible.

  The joint member has a shape excluding a joint member in which the thickness of the wall forming the holding groove of the joint member is the same as the width of the holding groove, and a wall portion forming the holding groove formed of the slit shape of the joint member. A flat plate member having the same thickness as that of the flat plate member and an added panel member are provided on one side or both sides of the flat plate member to be inserted into the holding groove of the member, absorbs a step between the joint member and the panel member, and further increases the strength of the protective box. Improved.

  Each of the joint members or the flat plate member to be joined to the joint member includes a fixing member that presses or joins the flat plate members to be joined to the joint member from two or more directions to fix the joint member or the flat plate member to each other. Was not removed during transportation and transportation.

  According to the present invention, the following effects can be expected.

  According to the protection box of the present invention, in the packing form in which the product is held by the buffer means and stored in the packing box, it is assumed that the product is transported only once until the product reaches the end user from the production area. By providing a protective box in close contact with the outer surface of the packaging box for the packaging member applied to the designed product, damage to the packaging box can be prevented and buffered even under repeated transport conditions. The damage prevention effect of the material is obtained, and the positional relationship between the cushioning material and the product is maintained. As a result, the quality and performance of the stored product are maintained even under conditions where the product is repeatedly conveyed.

  Furthermore, since there is no additional cushioning member in the above-described packing form, the cushioning effect in the packaging box or cushioning member applied to the product can be applied as it is. For this reason, in the said packaging form, the additional evaluation of a buffer effect is unnecessary and reliability improves.

  Furthermore, the size of the protective box that protects the deformation and breakage of the packaging box can be accommodated by changing only the dimensions of the flat plate member cut out from the general-purpose size, corresponding to the external dimensions of the packaging box applied to the product. This is possible and there is no need to develop a new reinforcement box for each product. From this, development and evaluation of the above-mentioned packing form are made possible in a short time.

  Furthermore, since the protective box is added to surround the outer surface of the packaging box applied to the product, the final packaging size can be minimized, and transportation and handling during transportation and transportation efficiency are reduced. There is nothing to do.

  Furthermore, since the protection box is easy to assemble and disassemble, there is little storage and management space and easy handling.

  Furthermore, since the joint member can be prepared as a common product for the protective box of each product, it can be handled at low cost.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a shipping box to which a configuration according to an embodiment for carrying out the invention is applied.

  FIG. 1 shows a packing form using a protective box. In this figure, a product 60 such as an electronic device is held by a cushioning material 21 having a cushioning characteristic made of foamed polystyrene or a cushion material that is specially molded for each type of the product 60, and placed in a packaging box 22 made of cardboard, cardboard, or the like. Stored. Generally, the packaging box 22 and the buffer material 21 are designed on the assumption that the product 60 is transported only once until the product 60 reaches the end user from the production area.

  The protective box 10 is composed of a box 10a and a lid 10b. The box 10a and the lid 10b are composed of plastic (for example, plastic corrugated cardboard), wood, cardboard, cardboard, or the like that is resistant to deformation or breakage. . The box 10a is appropriately dimensioned according to the size of the packing box 22 so that when the packing box 22 containing the product 60 is stored, the outer side of the packing box 22 and the inner side of the box 10a can be stored in close contact. By determining, deformation and breakage of the packing box 22 can be further prevented.

  By adding the protective box 10 to the outside of the packing box 22, it is possible to prevent the packing box 22 from being damaged or crushed and the buffer material 21 from being cracked under repeated transport conditions. By preventing damage to the packing box 22, the product 60 stored in the packing box 22 is prevented from being damaged.

  FIG. 2 shows a packing form using another protective box. In the figure, the packing box 22 and the buffer material 21 have the same configuration as that shown in FIG. The protective box 10 is composed of eight joint members 1 and six flat plate members 6, and the joint member 1 is a molded part made of synthetic resin, aluminum, hard rubber or the like.

  The flat plate member 6 is a rectangular flat plate, and is formed of a hard plate material made of plastic (for example, plastic cardboard) wood, cardboard, cardboard or the like.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the joint member. In the joint member 1, three holding grooves 4 each having a slit shape are formed between the outer side portion 2 and the inner side portion 3 so as to hold three planes orthogonal to each other. The holding groove 4 joins the joint member 1 and the flat plate member 6 by inserting the end portion of the flat plate member 6.

  As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, when assembling a protective box 10 made of a box-shaped body, the joint member 1 is arranged at the apexes of eight places of the rectangular parallelepiped, and each formed on each joint member 1 arranged on each of them. Three plate members 6 are inserted into the holding groove 4 to form a box-shaped protective box (see FIG. 4). In other words, the protective box can be assembled and disassembled by inserting and removing both end portions of the flat plate member 6 in each holding groove 4 formed in each joint member 1, and is repeatedly used in the conveyance of products.

  Thereby, the protection box 10 comprised with the member strong against a deformation | transformation and damage is obtained. Further, the flat plate member 6 can be stored so that the outer surface of the packing box 22 and the inner portion 3 of the joint member 1 can be in close contact with each other when the packing box 22 storing the product 60 is stored in the protective box 10. The dimensions can be determined appropriately depending on the size of the.

As shown in FIG. 5, the protective box 10 containing the packaging box 22 containing the product 60 is made of two materials such as nylon so that the joint member 1 or the flat plate member 6 joined to the joint member 1 does not come off. The flat member 6 joined to the joint member 1 or the joint member 1 may be fixed to each other by winding the outside of the protective box 10 with the band 30 described above. Moreover, you may fix the ridgeline part which the adjacent flat plate member 6 forms mutually by taping.
FIG. 5A shows a state in which the joint member 1 and the flat plate member 6 are fixed to each other by pressing the joint member 1 from two directions along the band 30 along the joint member 1. FIG. 5B shows a state in which the flat plate member 6 is pressed from two directions at the central portion of the protection box 10 to fix the flat plate members 6 to each other. FIG. 5C shows a state in which the ridge line portion formed by the adjacent flat plate members 6 is taped 31.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, in order to fix the attachment position of the band 30, the fixing | fixed part 5 which fixes the attachment position of the band 30 in the ridgeline part of the joint member 1, for example is formed. Note that the fixing portion 5 may have a groove shape, a protrusion shape, a hole shape, or a combination thereof that can fix the attachment position of the band 30.

  FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional view of the main part of FIG. In this figure, the product 60 is obtained by fixing the joint member 1 and the flat plate member 6 joined to the joint member 1 by winding the outside of the protective box 10 with two or more bands 30 made of a material such as nylon. When the stored packing box 22 is stored in the protective box 10, the outer surface of the packing box 22 and the inner portion 3 of the joint member 1 can be stored in close contact with each other.

  8 and 9 illustrate the main part of the packing form. In the figure, the protective box 10 has an outer surface of the packing box 22 and an inner part of the protective box 10 including the joint member 1 and the flat plate member 6 when the packing box 22 storing the product 60 is stored in the protective box 10. It can be stored securely in close contact. That is, the groove width A of the three holding grooves 4 formed of the slit shape formed in the joint member 1 has the same dimension as the thickness A of the flat plate member 6 joined to the joint member 1, and further, the inner portion of the joint member 1 The reinforcing member 8 having the same dimension as the thickness B of 3 is additionally provided inside the flat plate member 6. The reinforcing member 8 is added to a portion excluding the portion inserted into the holding groove 4 formed in the joint member 1, and is formed from a hard plate material made of wood, cardboard, cardboard or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 9, a reinforcing member 8 having the same dimension as the thickness C of the outer portion 2 of the joint member 1 is additionally provided outside the flat plate member 6. The reinforcing member 8 is added to a portion excluding the portion inserted into the holding groove 4 formed in the joint member 1, and is formed from a hard plate material made of wood, cardboard, cardboard or the like. In addition, it is desirable that the thickness B of the inner part 3 of the joint member 1 and the thickness C of the outer part 2 of the joint member 1 have the same dimensions. By providing the reinforcing members 8 on both the inside and outside of the flat plate member 6, the strength of the protection box 10 is increased and the assembling property of the flat plate member 6 is also improved.

  As described above, the packaging member applied to the product designed to be transported only once until the product reaches the end user from the production area and the deformation surrounding the outer surface of the packaging box, If a protective box made of a material resistant to breakage is used as a protective box that is repeatedly used for transporting products, it can be applied to the above products against impacts and vibrations during transportation and transportation even under repeated transport conditions. Since damage to the packaging box is prevented, damage to the product stored in the packaging box can be prevented.

  Furthermore, if the above-described form is used as a protective box, the product can be transported and transported using a shock-absorbing material applied to the product even under repeated transport conditions. For this reason, since the buffer effect of the buffer material applied to a product can be applied as it is, additional evaluation is unnecessary and reliability is also improved.

  Furthermore, the protective box can constitute a protective box corresponding to the size of the packaging box of each product by changing only the dimension of the flat plate member in correspondence with the outer dimension of the packaging box applied to the product. This is possible, and it is not necessary to develop a protective box for each product. Therefore, development and evaluation of a packaging member can be performed in a short time.

  Furthermore, since the protective box can be added in close contact with the outer surface of the standard applied packing box, the final packing size can be minimized and handled during transportation and transportation. And transportation efficiency is not reduced.
