Description

  The present invention relates to a packaging box for a display device, and more particularly to a packaging box that facilitates a base mounting operation to a display device in which only a pedestal of a stand is separated and packed.

  In recent years, packing boxes for display devices such as liquid crystal monitors and liquid crystal televisions have been increasingly miniaturized from the standpoints of reducing transportation and storage costs due to increased loading efficiency and reducing packaging materials used. . In order to reduce the size, the display device is generally divided into several parts and stored in a packing box. For example, there may be a case where the screen unit is separated from a stand (consisting of a column and a pedestal), or a column of a stand is integrated with the screen unit and only the pedestal is separated.

  When using such a display device, the user must first assemble the display device by combining the separated parts, but when performing the assembly work, the screen unit alone or the support column is integrated. With the front of the screen facing down, lay it on a flat surface such as a desk. In the former case, the stand (consisting of a support and a pedestal) is on the screen. In the latter case, the pedestal is on the bottom of the support. Generally, it is attached from the lateral direction using an attachment member such as a screw. For example, FIG. 12 shows an operation of attaching the pedestal to the bottom surface of the support column, but the positions of a plurality of mounting holes 102 provided on the bottom surface of the support column 101 on the back surface of the screen unit 100 and the pedestal 103 are provided. After matching the positions of the plurality of mounting holes 104, the screw 105 is inserted into each hole and tightened. However, in an environment where the display device is installed, it is not always possible to ensure a sufficiently large plane space that allows the screen portion to lie down. In addition, when the screen is laid on a flat surface, there is a risk of scratching or soiling the screen. Furthermore, since the support column at this time is facing sideways, it is difficult for the operator to visually recognize the state of the bottom surface of the support column, and it is necessary to perform installation work in a posture that looks into the bottom surface. Is not good.

  A technique for solving the above-described problem has been disclosed (see Patent Document 1). In Patent Document 1, in a packaging case in which a display unit main body and a stand are separately packaged, the first and second are held in a state where the display unit main body is held on the first and second bottom pads of the packaging case. After placing the top pad under the both ends in the longitudinal direction of the lower packing case, an opening is formed in the bottom and side surfaces of the lower packing case, and the stand is inserted into the column insertion hole of the display unit body that is open to the outside from the opening. The technique of inserting the support | pillar of this and fixing with a screw is disclosed.

  According to this patent document 1, it is possible to attach the stand to the display unit main body without taking the display unit main body out of the packing case and placing it on a flat surface such as a desk. However, this is a technique that is effective only for a display device in which the display unit main body and the stand are separately packaged, and as shown in FIG. 12, only the stand base is separately packaged. Is not an effective technology.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a packaging that allows a pedestal mounting operation to be performed on a display device in which only the pedestal of the stand is separated and packed without easily placing the display device on a flat surface such as a desktop. The purpose is to provide a box.

The packaging box for a display device according to the present invention stores at least a first cushioning material fitted to the upper part of the display device and a second cushioning material fitted to the lower part of the display device. When the cushioning material is removed from the lower portion of the display device, the cushioning material contacts only the screen frame portion of the display device with the first cushioning material fitted on the upper portion, and the display device is placed in the packaging box. It is a shape that can be held in an inclined inverted state with respect to a horizontal plane.

Thereby, the mounting operation of the pedestal can be performed inside the box while easily confirming the state of the bottom surface of the display device held in an inclined inverted state in the packaging box.

Further, since the display device is held by the second cushioning material only by the screen frame portion and the screen portion does not contact the second cushioning material, it is possible to prevent the screen portion from being scratched or soiled. .

At both corners of the front side surface 6 that covers the front side of the display device L of the lower cushioning material K2, a display device holding portion 6b formed between the outer wall and the inner wall by notching the edge is provided. This display device holding part 6b is a display device in which the lower cushioning material K2 is fitted, with the upper part of the display device L in the state in which the upper cushioning material K1 is fitted as a fulcrum, as in the mounting method of the base S2 described later. After rotating the lower side of L 90 degrees to bring the display device L upside down at a position close to one side 1f in the packaging box 1, the lower cushioning material K2 is removed from the lower portion of the display device L. The display device L in an inverted state is placed in contact with the side surface 1d facing the adjacent side surface 1f with the opening portion facing upward, and the display device L of the display device L is directed toward the lower cushioning material K2 in this state. When the lower side is lowered, it is in contact with only part of the screen frames Lb on the left and right sides of the liquid crystal panel surface La, and is formed at a position for holding the display device L in an inclined inverted state. The position of the display device holding portion 6b is set such that when the pedestal S2 is attached to the bottom surface of the column S1 of the display device L held in an inclined inverted state at this time, the four side surfaces 1c to 1f of the packing box 1 and the lower buffer It is also necessary to consider the position at which the bottom surface of the column S1 is held at a height at which the material K2 does not become an obstacle.

In the present embodiment, the display device holding portion 6b is formed in an unequal square shape having a lower side width of 1.7 cm at an inclination angle of 40 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane at both corners of the front side surface 6 of the lower cushioning material K2.

The position and shape of the display device holding portion 6b were set in consideration of the height (15 cm) of the packaging box 1 according to the present embodiment and the width (1.5 cm) of the screen frame Lb of the display device L. Needless to say, the position and shape of the display device holding portion 6b vary depending on the dimensions of the packing box 1, the display device L, the lower cushioning material K2, and the shape of the display device L. That is, the display device holding portion 6b in the present embodiment is formed by cutting out both corners of the front side surface 6 of the lower cushioning material K2, but instead projects a part of the front side surface 6. Alternatively, it may be formed at the edge of the rear side surface 5 instead of the edge of the front side surface 6. Moreover, although the display apparatus holding | maintenance part 6b in this Embodiment is formed as a 40 degree inclined surface, it cannot be overemphasized that this inclination angle can be changed variously.

Next, a method of assembling the display device L by attaching the pedestal S2 to the support column S1 using the display device packaging box 1 of the present embodiment will be described.

In the present embodiment, display device L is housed so that its liquid crystal panel surface La faces down.

First, as shown in FIG. 6, after expanding the upper surface 1a of the packed packaging box 1, the pedestal S2 accommodated outside the upper cushioning material K1 and the lower cushioning material K2, the power cable (plastic bag) C1, the signal cable (in a plastic bag) C2, and the instruction manual U are taken out of the packaging box.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the display device L is inverted on one side 1 f of the packaging box 1. That is, the operator holds the lower cushioning material K2 and holds the lower ends of the display device L, and stands up by rotating 90 degrees about the upper portion of the display device L as a fulcrum. Then, since the outer wall of the upper cushioning material K1 is formed into a flat surface, the display device L is inverted to the one side surface 1f side of the packaging box 1 with the bottom surface of the support column S1 being the uppermost end. That is, at this time, the outer wall of the rear side surface 2 of the upper cushioning material K1 and the inner wall of the side surface 1f of the packaging box 1 are in close proximity.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8, with the lower cushioning material K2 removed from the display device L and the upper surface opening portion facing up, the packaging facing the side surface 1f side of the packaging box in which the display device L is inverted. The outer wall of the rear side surface 5 of the lower cushioning material K2 is placed in contact with the inner wall of the side surface 1d of the box.

Then, when the operator holds the lower ends of the display device L and lowers the display device L with the upper portion of the display device L as a fulcrum, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the liquid crystal panel surface La of the display device L is displayed. Part of the left and right screen frames Lb abuts against the inclined surface of the display device holding portion 6b of the lower cushioning material K2, and the display device L is held in the packaging box 1 in an inclined inverted state with an inclination angle of 40 degrees. The FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the display device holding unit 6b is in contact with the screen frame Lb of the display device L as viewed from the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 9, and the lower cushioning material K2 is indicated by a solid line. Device L is shown in broken lines. As shown in FIG. 10, since the display device holding portion 6b contacts only the screen frame Lb of the display device L, the lower cushioning material K2 does not come into contact with the liquid crystal panel surface La to be scratched or soiled.

Since the lower cushioning material K2 is lightweight, there is a possibility that the display device L may be turned over and fall when the display device L that is heavy as a single unit is held in an inclined inverted state. In this embodiment, the lower cushioning material K2 is placed with the outer wall of the rear side surface 5 in contact with the inner wall of the side surface 1d of the packaging box, and the weight of the display device L to be held is only the lower cushioning material K2. The display device L is stably held even in the tilted inverted state because it is received and supported by the packaging box 1.

Thereafter, the operator attaches the pedestal S2 previously taken out to the bottom surface of the column S1. In the present embodiment, the attachment is performed by a method in which the locking claw on the support column S1 side and the locking hole on the pedestal S2 side are locked. Due to the display device holding part 6b, the bottom surface of the support column S1 is sufficiently high so that the side surface 1d of the packing box 1 and the lower cushioning material K2 do not obstruct the mounting operation, and the upper oblique direction of the inclination angle is 40 degrees. Therefore, the operator can easily see the state of the bottom surface of the column S1 and can easily attach the base S2.

After the pedestal S2 is attached, the display device L is taken out of the packing box 1 while removing the upper cushioning material K1 and placed on a flat surface such as a desk, and all the assembly work of the display device is completed.

In the present embodiment, the lower cushioning material K2 is placed with the outer wall of the rear side surface 5 in contact with the inner wall of the side surface 1d of the packaging box with the upper surface opening facing upward. It is not limited to the mounting state, and for example, it may be mounted in contact with the inner wall of the side surface 1d with the upper surface opening facing downward. At this time, in many cases, the display device holding portion 6b is formed on the outer wall surface of the bottom surface 7 of the lower cushioning material K2.
