Description

Grip for packing of plasma display panel module

The present invention relates to a handle for a PDP module, and more particularly to a handle for a PDP module that can be safely transported.

Plasma Display Panels (hereinafter referred to as PDPs) are used to display images using gas discharge phenomena, and are excellent in various display capabilities such as display capacity, brightness, contrast, afterimage, and viewing angle. In addition, it is attracting attention as a display device that can be replaced with a CRT because of its thin and large-screen display.

PDP is generally manufactured by the following process. First, electrodes, partitions, and phosphors are formed on the glass substrate by screen printing. Sealing and exhausting the panel is made, the assembly of the chassis, circuit boards, power supply, etc. PDP module is manufactured. The semi-finished PDP module thus manufactured is transported back to the set assembly process to complete the finished PDP set.

However, the PDP is thin and has a large screen, which may cause breakage even in small vibrations and impacts during transportation, which may cause a failure of the electrode and the partition wall, or a foreign material may enter the circuit part. have.

Therefore, in order to safely transport such a PDP to a remote place, a packaging device is required.

As described above, a large-size PDP packing device is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-309570 as a technique related to packaging of a PDP module. The disclosed large PDP packing device is a packaging device that enables a large PDP to be packaged alone. In this packaging apparatus, the lower pad has a function of cushioning the impact applied to the PDP, and the lower pad of the PDP is inserted into the lower pad, and the front or rear surface of the lower pad is detachable. In addition, the lower box is interposed between the lower pads and supports and fixes the lower pads interposed therebetween, but the front or rear surface of the lower box is openable. Therefore, the PDP can be easily inserted into the lower pad without lifting the PDP high, and the PDP inserted into the lower pad can be stored in the lower box.

As another technique, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-013768 discloses a "PDP display panel cover". The disclosed PDP display panel cover is composed of a box-shaped container with one side open, ribs formed in the box-shaped container, and a flexible mat. Since the panel cover configured as described above is mounted on the front surface of the PDP, even if an external force is applied to the PDP during transportation, damage to the PDP is prevented. In addition, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-002065 discloses a related technology.

However, the disclosed techniques are suitable for packaging each PDP set in a single PDP set, and are not suitable for packaging a PDP module in a semi-finished state.

In order to solve this problem, a method of coupling a support member such as plywood to the chassis base of the PDP module and inserting the support member into a shock absorbing support has been developed. However, also in this method, by using a support member such as plywood to the boss of the chassis base by using a bolt or the like, the impact transmitted to the support member is transmitted directly to the PDP module through the boss to the corresponding part of the boss Problems such as dark spots occurred. In addition, in order to solve this problem, a separate reinforcing member and an impact absorbing member must be placed on the boss, in which case the number of parts increases, causing a cost increase, and there is a problem of weighting.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a handle for a PDP module that can more reliably protect the module from vibration and shock from the outside.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a handle for a PDP module that can move the PDP module more simply and safely.
