[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improvement of a packing device for a washing tub (also used as a dehydration tub) of a fully automatic electric washing machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When transporting and storing electrical equipment, various cushioning materials are housed in the cardboard box together with the equipment in order to keep the equipment body from moving inside the cardboard box. Generally, heavy electrical equipment is placed on the bottom member with cushioning material and covered with a cardboard box from above with cushioning material so that it can be easily packed and unpacked. The form to be taken is taken. Moreover, in an electric device having a movable part inside the device main body, such as a fully automatic electric washing machine in which the washing tub is supported in an idle state, a support member is provided for fixing them during transportation.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional packing structure, there is a problem that the material cost is high and the ratio of the packing material to the product price is high, including bulky storage space and transportation cost. Further, as the packaging equipment such as a fully automatic electric washing machine becomes larger, the packaging material also becomes larger, leading to a reduction in efficiency of the packaging work. Furthermore, the difficulty of assembling the packaging material is greatly reflected in the packaging cost.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In view of the above problems, the present inventor has achieved the present invention as a result of intensive research. The feature of the present inventor is that it is mounted for the purpose of protecting a fully automatic electric washing machine, and is made of cardboard. A packing material composed of a top member and a bottom member in which a cushioning material is embedded in a tray, the bottom member extending from an upper surface provided with a support portion of a washing tub support and one opposite side of the upper surface. A side plate that protrudes from both sides of the upper surface and supports end portions at the corners of the side plate and the bottom plate of the tray. A base made of corrugated cardboard constituted by a reinforcing plate bent in a U-shape between both side plates is supported by a cushioning material interposed between the side plate and the support piece and the side plate of the tray.
[0005]
As used herein, the term “top member” refers to a member that is packed by placing it on the top of a fully automatic electric washing machine. A cardboard is assembled in a tray shape and contains cushioning material inside. Say. The tray shape is composed of a member that forms the top and a member that forms four surfaces around it. For example, there is a C-shaped cover box in which side plates are extended from four sides of the top plate, or a flap is provided on one side of each side plate. For the purpose of the present invention, a structure in which a flap is provided on one side which can be stored in a folded state and can be easily assembled is preferable. In this case, by projecting the protruding pieces on both sides of the inner flap, the inner flap can be held in a folded state, and it is easy to cover by being shaped, and the drop when it is covered Can be prevented.
[0006]
In the present invention, the structure and material of the cushioning material are not particularly limited, and the cushioning material may be formed of corrugated cardboard, or a molded product such as foamed plastic or pulp mold may be used. When formed with corrugated cardboard, it may have a structure formed by assembling integrally with the tray. For foamed plastics, for the purpose of reuse and recycling after use, it is preferable to use a structure that supports insertion by a combination of concave and convex parts without using an adhesive so that it can be easily separated, and the tray itself also uses an adhesive. It is preferable to have a structure that can be assembled and supported without any problems. The cushioning material in the present invention is interposed for the purpose of supporting a later-described corrugated board base in the tray. In this case, in addition to restricting the movement of the base in the horizontal direction, a protruding portion that is engaged from above may be provided at any part of the base to restrict the upward movement.
[0007]
The “bottom member” is a member that is packed by placing a fully automatic electric washing machine, and has a structure in which a cushioning material is provided inside a corrugated board tray like the top member. In fully automatic electric washing machine packing, it is necessary to provide a washing tub support for supporting and fixing a washing tub (also used as a dehydration tub) provided in a floating state on the main body. This washing tub support is also made of corrugated cardboard or foamed plastic, like the cushioning material. Usually, the washing tub is protected by providing a fixing material on the upper side.
[0008]
The washing tub support is supported and fixed at a predetermined position on the tray by a cardboard base. In the present invention, the base made of cardboard has a simple structure in which side plates are extended from the four sides of the upper surface provided with the support portion of the washing tub support, and can be easily assembled from plate-like cardboard. In order to install the base at a predetermined position of the tray, support pieces that are brought into contact with one opposing side plate of the tray are protruded on both sides of one opposing side plate, and the other opposing side plate of the tray Position with a cushioning material in between.
[0009]
Also, for the purpose of facilitating assembly, since the engaging portions between the side plates are not provided, another opposing side plate is used as a reinforcing plate, and this is shaped like a square between one opposing side plate. The strength is increased by making it active. The reinforcing plate is longer than the side plate and has a crease at a position shorter than the side plate. Thus, the folding plate can be set simply by folding it downward with the front end of the reinforcing plate supported by the corner portion between the side plate and the bottom plate of the tray, and mounting on the tray becomes extremely simple.
[0010]
The “body member” is a member that is protected by being provided in the body portion of the fully automatic electric washing machine, and refers to a cushioning material in which air is sealed between plastic sheets. The body member may be provided on the entire circumference of the body part of the fully automatic electric washing machine for protection, or may be partially provided on the front side, the front side and the rear side. Usually, even when it is provided only on the front surface side, it is necessary to protect a corner portion that is easily damaged, and it is provided so as to straddle the front surface side and part of both side surfaces thereof. For this reason, it has a structure in which it is easy to bend in the vertical direction, and it is divided into multiple sections with vertical lane markings so that even if part of the injected air leaks, air is enclosed in each partition area. Those are preferred.
[0011]
When the body member is disposed between the top member and the bottom member, it is preferable to provide a gap in which the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the body member enter the top member and the bottom member. By providing a gap, it is possible to insert and support the gap in the bottom member when the trunk member is mounted, which facilitates the packing operation and prevents the barrel member from being displaced and hides the upper and lower ends of the trunk member so that the aesthetic appearance of the packing form is achieved. The effect of increasing is produced.
