Description

  The present invention relates to a packing apparatus, and more particularly to a packing apparatus configured to bring a spacer box into contact with an inner surface of a storage space of an outer box.

  For example, when a precise packaged member such as an electronic device is transported, the packaged member is stored in a packaging device such as a cardboard box, and the packaged member is held in a state free from rattling by the buffer member. A packaging apparatus configured to be packaged in a container has been developed (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  Moreover, as a conventional packing apparatus, there exists what was comprised as shown in FIG. In the packing device 10, a handle hole 14 having a long hole shape is formed on the side surface of the outer box 12. The handle hole 14 is for an operator to insert a fingertip when lifting the packing device 10. In addition to the member to be packed, a spacer box 18 is inserted into the storage space 16 formed inside the outer box 12. The spacer box 18 has a finger insertion portion 20 formed of a through hole or a recess having the same shape and the same size as the handle hole 14 at a height position facing the handle hole 14.

The spacer box 18 is inserted into both sides of the storage space 16 of the outer box 12 in an empty state in which nothing is inserted therein, and abuts on the inner side surface. In the space between the spacer boxes 18 arranged on the left and right sides, a plurality of packed members are stored in an aligned state. Therefore, when the operator inserts fingers of both hands into the handle hole 14 formed on the left and right side surfaces of the outer box 12 and the finger insertion part 20 of the spacer box 18, the entire packaging device 10 can be lifted.

  However, since the conventional packing apparatus is configured to place the spacer box 18 in contact with the left and right inner surfaces of the storage space 16 of the outer box 12, a space for inserting the spacer box 18 is required. The outer box 12 is increased in size by the amount of insertion space for the box 18, and there is a problem that, for example, the labor and cost burden of transport work in truck transportation or warehouse increases.

  In addition, when the product storage box stored in the storage space 16 of the outer box 12 is taken out and the packaging device is used at the transport destination, the spacer box 18 together with the outer box 12 must be disassembled and discarded. Therefore, the labor for the disposal work has been increased and the burden on the worker has increased.

  In addition, a box for storing a member to be stored related to the member to be packed (for example, an accessory such as a cable connected to an electronic device or an AC power adapter) has been separately prepared.

  Then, in view of the said situation, this invention aims at providing the packing apparatus which solved the said subject.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following means.

  A bent portion 50v is formed at the boundary between the locking piece 50k and the upper first flap 50j (upper lid 56). Further, the upper third flap 50m has a bent portion 50w at the boundary between the horizontal portion 50p and the first vertical portion 50q, and a bent portion 50x at the boundary between the horizontal portion 50p and the second vertical portion 50r. Is formed.

  Next, the assembly / packing operation procedure of the spacer box 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5E.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, in the procedure 1, the adhesive 70 is applied to the adhesive allowance 50e from the developed state as shown in FIG. 4, and is adhered to the inner surface of the back surface 50d and dried. Then, the bottom first flap 50f, the bottom second flap 50g, the bottom third flap 50h, and the bottom fourth flap 50i are bent inward along the bent portions 50a1, 50b1, 50c1, and 50d1, respectively, and the overlapping portions are alternately stacked. Engage to match.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, in the procedure 2, a member to be stored (for example, an accessory of an electronic device) 80 is inserted into the lower space 54 of the spacer box 50.

  As shown in FIG. 5C, in the procedure 3, the upper third flap 50m is bent 180 degrees so as to be inserted into the lower space 55 of the spacer box 50 along the pair of bent portions 50c2. Further, the horizontal portion 50p of the upper third flap 50m is bent by 90 degrees along the bent portions 50w and 50x so as to be inserted into the lower space 55 so as to contact the upper end of the member 80 to be stored.

  As shown in FIG. 5D, in step 4, the upper space 55 in which the upper second flap 50l (locking portion 57) and the upper fourth flap 50n (locking portion 57) are formed above the upper third flap 50m. It is bent 180 degrees along the bent portions 50b2 and 50d1 so as to be inserted into

  At this time, the upper second flap 50l (locking portion 57), the protrusions 50l1 of the upper fourth flap 50n (locking portion 57), and 50n1 are provided on both sides of the first vertical portion 50q and the second vertical portion 50r. Locked to the locking recesses 50q1 and 50r1.

  Therefore, the upper third flap 50m (the inner lid 53) is held in a state in which opening upward is restricted by the upper second flap 50l (locking portion 57) and the upper fourth flap 50n (locking portion 57). The

  As shown in FIG. 5E, in step 5, the upper first flap 50j (upper lid 56) is bent 90 degrees along the bent portion 50a2, and the locking piece 50k is inserted into the locking slit 50o while being bent 90 degrees. The upper first flap 50j (upper lid 56) is locked in the closed state. Thus, the upper space 55 is closed by the upper first flap 50j (upper lid 56).

  Next, a packing operation for storing the spacer box 50 and the member to be packed in the outer box 40 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 6, first, the pair of spacer boxes 50 are inserted into contact with the left and right side surfaces of the inner space 45 of the outer box 40. The pair of spacer boxes 50 have the same configuration, and are inserted in such a direction that the finger insertion portion 52 communicates with the handle holes 43 and 44 of the outer box 40. Further, if the direction of the spacer box 50 is reversed, the handle holes 43 and 44 of the outer box 40 are closed from the inside, so characters such as L, R, left and right are printed on the upper cover 56, and the insertion direction Prevent mistakes.

  As shown in FIG. 7, subsequently, a plurality (two or more) of packed members 90 are inserted between the pair of spacer boxes 50. At that time, the longitudinal direction of each packed member 90 is set to be orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the pair of spacer boxes 50. Accordingly, the plurality of members to be packed 90 are held in a state of being sandwiched between the pair of spacer boxes 50 inside the outer box 40, and stored so that the impact from the outside is buffered by the spacer box 50.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the pair of spacer boxes 50 and the plurality of packed members 90 are inserted into the inner space 45 of the outer box 40 without gaps, the upper lid 46 a formed in the four directions of the outer box 40 thereafter. ˜46d is bent inward to close the upper opening of the outer box 40, and the edges of the upper lids 46a to 46d are fixed in a closed state with an adhesive tape.

  Thus, since the lower space (storage chamber) 54 for storing the member to be stored 80 related to the member to be packed 90 is formed inside the spacer box 50, the member to be stored 80 is placed in the same outer box 40 as the member to be packed 90. It becomes possible to pack, and it is not necessary to produce another box for storing the member 80 to be stored, and the storage space of the spacer box 50 can be effectively used to reduce the transportation cost. Since the spacer box 50 can be used as a storage box for the member 80, the space box 50 need not be discarded.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the member to be packed is made of an electronic device or the like has been exemplified. However, it is needless to say that the member to be packed may be an object (other product) other than the electronic device.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the case where an outer box and a space box were formed with a corrugated cardboard material was shown as an example, the outer box and the space box were formed with materials (for example, resin materials etc.) other than paper or paper. Of course, things can be used.
