Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in a packaging device for packaging a washing machine in a packaging box via a buffer.

[Technical background of the invention]

Conventionally, when a washing machine is packaged, it is placed in a packaging box made of cardboard or the like with a cushioning material made of foamed polystyrene or the like interposed therebetween, and then a band is further tightened over the packaging box.

[Problems with background technology]

However, according to the above-mentioned conventional method, the load is applied to the shock absorbers, especially the shoulder cushions located at the top of the washing machine, during loading before shipping and during so-called handling after shipping, causing the bands to loosen and become deformed. As a result, there was a problem in that it interfered with subsequent cargo handling. In addition, the shoulder cushion that has been deformed as described above cannot suppress the rattling of the washing machine inside the packaging box, and the rattling can cause scratches and damage to the washing machine. .

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to skillfully prevent the deformation of the shock absorber, so-called shoulder cushion, on the top of the washing machine after packaging, and to prevent the load from being deformed. This is an extremely practical washing machine that can be used in a way that does not interfere with handling, and that also prevents scratches and damage to the washing machine, and that can be achieved by effectively using parts other than the packaging equipment. to provide packaging equipment.

[Summary of the idea]

The present invention places a waterproof pan on the top of the washing machine that is larger than the bottom of the tub inside the machine and has an integrally molded elastic upright part on its outer edge, and this waterproof pan is held in place from above by the buffer. By compressing and packing, the load from above during stacking or handling is absorbed by the elastic deformation of the warming upright part of the waterproof pan, so that the load is not applied too strongly to the cushioning body. It is characterized by the fact that

[Example of idea]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. First, referring to FIG.
is a washing machine, especially a dehydrating washing machine; 2 is an outer box; 3 is a top plate on which a lid 4 is pivoted on the outer box 2;
Further, 5 is an operation box on the top plate 3. On the other hand, 6 is a packaging box in which the above-mentioned washing machine 1 is housed via a cushioning member such as a shoulder cushion 7. This packaging box 6 is made of, for example, cardboard, and the shoulder cushion 7 is made of, for example, Styrofoam. The shoulder cushions 7 are located on both left and right sides of the upper part of the washing machine 1, and each has a protruding portion 7a at the middle portion of the inner surface. Further, numeral 8 is a waterproof pan, the entire structure of which is shown in FIG. It has a substantially rectangular shape that is wider than the bottom surface of the tub 9 located inside the washing machine 1, that is, inside the outer box 2, and the outer edge is provided with ribs 1 around the entire circumference.
0, and two elastic standing portions 11 on both the left and right sides.
are each integrally molded. In particular, in this embodiment, the elastic upright portion 11 has an inverted U-shape with a claw 12 at the tip, as shown in FIG. The waterproof pan 8 is inserted into a hole 14 of an inner flange 13 formed at the lower edge of the pan 2 and elastically engaged, thereby ensuring that the entire waterproof pan 8 is positioned below the tub 9. As a result, dewdrops 1 fall from the bucket 9
5 etc. to prevent the floor surface etc. from getting wet.
In order to pack such a waterproof pan 8, it is placed on the top plate 3 as shown in FIG. By covering the box 6 and further tightening the band 16 from above, the waterproof pant 8 is pressed down from above by the protrusion 7a of the shoulder cushion 7 to complete the packaging.

Now, according to the present embodiment configured as described above, if a load is applied from above during stacking or handling in a packed state, the waterproof pan receives the load through the protrusion 7a of the shoulder cushion 7. Each of the elastic upright portions 11 of the waterproof pan 8 is elastically deformed as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. Therefore, a strong load is no longer applied to the shoulder cushion 7 and its deformation can be prevented. In addition, the waterproof pan 8 elastically deformed as described above
Since the elastic upright portion 11 of the band 11 returns to its original state once the load is removed, the band 16, once loosened, will return to its taut state and will not loosen after all, so that it will not cause any trouble in the subsequent handling of the cargo. Furthermore, as mentioned above, since the shoulder cushion 7 does not deform, it is possible to prevent the washing machine 1 from rattling within the packaging box 6, and thus to prevent the washing machine 1 from being scratched or damaged. . In this case, the washing machine 1
The waterproof pan 8, which is a component for other purposes, can be effectively used, and there is no need for a separate dedicated component, which makes it possible to realize the product at a lower price. You can do clever packaging without any trouble.

FIG. 6 shows a different embodiment of the present invention, in which the waterproof pan 8 is placed upside down and packed in an upside-down manner. A space 17 is secured on the top surface of 1, and accessories 1 such as instruction manuals and water supply hoses are placed here.
8 can be stored.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, but can also be applied to packaging for dual-tub washing machines other than dehydrating washing machines, without departing from the scope of the invention. It can be implemented with appropriate changes.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above, the present invention provides a packaging device in which a washing machine is packed inside a packaging box with a cushioning material interposed therebetween. The product is characterized in that a waterproof pan is placed on which an elastic standing portion is integrally molded on the outer edge, and the waterproof pan is pressed down from above by the cushioning body. It is possible to skillfully prevent the deformation of the cushioning body on the top of the washing machine, so that it does not interfere with the handling of cargo, and it also prevents the washing machine from being scratched or damaged. Since it can be achieved by effectively using parts for other purposes, it can be realized at a low cost, and it has many excellent practical effects, such as not having to worry about the storage space of the waterproof pan itself. It is.
