Description

Packaging component

The present invention relates to a packaging element, and more particularly to a packaging element disposed in a corner portion of a flat product.

The method of packaging a solar module is to first put a four-corner of a solar module on a paper sleeve to achieve the protection effect. Then, the solar module with the paper sleeve is placed on a pallet, and then a layer of foam is placed on the solar module. Then, other solar modules with paper sleeves are sequentially stacked on the foam, so that several layers of solar modules are stacked on the pallet. Finally, a plurality of stacked solar modules are bundled with the pallet by a strap to complete the packaging process. In this way, the volume occupied by packaging a plurality of solar modules can be saved to reduce the transportation cost of the product.

However, there are other disadvantages to this type of packaging. For example, since the solar modules are stacked in sequence, the lowermost solar modules are often susceptible to the gravity of the upper solar modules and are damaged by pressure damage. Moreover, the conventional packaging steps are cumbersome and also make the packaging operation time consuming.

Although the conventional solar module has a paper sleeve for the protection effect, there is no positioning effect between the paper sleeve and the paper sleeve. In this way, if the wrapping film is not used, the solar modules cannot have a fixed effect. Moreover, the rigidity and strength of the paper sleeve are not sufficient to provide a good protection effect of the solar module, so that the solar module may be damaged by collision during transportation.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a packaging component that solves the conventional packaging method and does not provide a good fixing and protection effect of the solar module, thereby causing the solar module to be easily damaged during transportation.

The packaging component of an embodiment of the invention is suitable for a flat type product. The packaging component comprises a carrier plate and two side walls. The carrier plate has a bearing surface, and the flat product stack is placed on the bearing surface. The two side walls are erected on the adjacent two sides of the carrying board, and the two side walls intersect, and the two side walls respectively abut against the adjacent two sides of the flat type product. The two side walls respectively have an opposite top surface and a bottom surface, and the top surfaces face the same direction as the bearing surface. One of the top surfaces or the intersection of the top surfaces has at least one locating rib, and one of the bottom surfaces or the bottom surfaces intersects at least one locating groove. One of the rib lengths, a rib width and a rib height are respectively smaller than a groove length of the positioning groove, a groove width and a groove depth.

According to the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, the packaging element utilizes the combined fixing effect of the packaging elements of the upper and lower layers to enable the flat-type products stacked on each other to have a good positioning effect, thereby saving additional use of the film for wrapping. Fixed packing hours. Moreover, the weight of each flat type product is respectively supported by the packaging elements disposed on itself, so that the flat type product located at the lowermost layer is not affected by the gravity lamination of the upper layer, and the pressure loss is caused.

The features, implementations, and utilities of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1C is a schematic view showing the structure of another embodiment of the packaging member, and FIG. 1C is a schematic view showing the practical use of the packaging member according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The packaging component 100 of the present embodiment is suitable for the packaging and fixing of the flat type product 400. The flat type product 400 of the embodiment is exemplified by a solar module, but is not limited thereto. For example, the flat type product 400 may be a rigid flat body such as a display panel or a movable kanban, or the flat type product 400 may be a flexible flat body such as a flexible panel. In general, one flat type product 400 is adapted to be matched with four packaging elements 100, and four packaging elements 100 are respectively sleeved at four corners of the flat type product 400 to achieve the effect of fixing and protecting the flat type product 400.

The packaging component 100 of the embodiment includes a carrier board 110, a first side wall 121 and a second side wall 122. The carrier plate 110 has a bearing surface 111 on which the flat product 400 is stacked. The first side wall 121 and the second side wall 122 are erected on adjacent sides of the carrying board 110, and the first side wall 121 and the second side wall 122 intersect in a nearly vertical relationship. When the flat type product 400 is stacked on the bearing surface 111, the first side wall 121 and the second side wall 122 respectively abut against adjacent sides of one corner of the flat type product 400 to limit the flat type product 400. Displacement freedom.

In detail, the first side wall 121 has a first top surface 1213 and a first bottom surface 1214 , and a first first limiting surface 1212 and a first side surface 1211 . The second side wall 122 has a second top surface 1223 and a second bottom surface 1224, and a second limiting surface 1222 and a second side surface 1221. The first top surface 1213 and the second top surface 1223 and the bearing surface 111 face in the same direction, and the first top surface 1213 and the second top surface 1223 are in a common plane. The first limiting surface 1212 and the second limiting surface 1222 intersect in a nearly vertical relationship, and the packaging component 100 abuts the first limiting surface 1212 and the second limiting surface 1222 against one of the corners of the flat product 400. Adjacent sides.

In addition, the first top surface 1213, the second top surface 1223, or the intersection of the first top surface 1213 and the second top surface 1223 have at least one positioning rib 130. In the present embodiment, the packaging element 100 has five positioning ribs 130. The first top surface 1213 and the second top surface 1223 respectively have two elongated positioning ribs 130. The intersection of the first top surface 1213 and the second top surface 1223 has an L-shaped positioning rib 130. Also, in the present embodiment, the positioning rib 130 is located at the center of the first top surface 1213 or the second top surface 1223. In detail, the positioning ribs 130 on the first top surface 1213 are respectively at a distance from the boundary between the first side surface 1211 and the first top surface 1213 and the boundary between the first limiting surface 1212 and the first top surface 1213. The positioning ribs 130 on the second top surface 1223 are spaced apart from the intersection of the second side surface 1221 and the second top surface 1223, respectively, and the boundary between the second limiting surface 1222 and the second top surface 1223.

The intersection of the first bottom surface 1214, the second bottom surface 1224 or the first bottom surface 1214 and the second bottom surface 1224 of the embodiment has at least one positioning groove 140. In the present embodiment, the packaging member 100 has five positioning grooves 140. The first bottom surface 1214 and the second bottom surface 1224 respectively have two elongated positioning grooves 140. The intersection of the first bottom surface 1214 and the second bottom surface 1224 has an L-shaped positioning groove 140. It should be noted that the number and shape of the positioning ribs 130 and the positioning slots 140 are not intended to limit the present invention, and the number of the positioning ribs 130 and the number and shape of the positioning grooves 140 need only be able to match each other.

Wherein, the elongated positioning rib 130 has a rib length L1, a rib width W1 and a rib height H1, and the elongated positioning groove 140 has a groove length L2, a groove width W2, and A groove depth H2. The rib length L1, the rib width W1, and the rib height H1 are respectively smaller than the groove length L2, the groove width W2, and the groove depth H2. In other words, it means that the volume of the positioning rib 130 is smaller than the volume of the positioning groove 140.

Therefore, the positioning rib 130 of one of the packaging elements 100 can be inserted into the positioning groove 140 of the other packaging element 100 ' as shown in "FIG. 1C". The packaging component 100 can be inserted into the positioning groove 140 of the packaging component 100 ' by the positioning rib 130, so that the packaging component 100 and the packaging component 100 ' can be stacked and fixed to each other.

It should be noted that the geometric relationship between the positioning ribs 130 and the positioning groove 140 is exemplified by the elongated positioning ribs 130 and the elongated positioning grooves 140. As for the geometrical relationship between the L-shaped positioning ribs 130 and the L-shaped positioning grooves 140, those skilled in the art can make corresponding matching designs according to the above embodiments, and thus no further description is made.

In addition, the intersection of the first side wall 121 and the second side wall 122 of the packaging component 100 of the embodiment may further have a avoidance groove 123. In detail, the avoidance groove 123 is located at the intersection of the first limiting surface 1212 and the second limiting surface 1222 , and the avoiding groove 123 has a notch 1231 facing the carrier plate 110 . Since the flat type product 400 is assembled and manufactured, the size at the corner tip may be deviated or burrs may occur. As a result, when the packaging component 100 is sleeved at the corner of the flat product 400, the intersection of the first sidewall 121 and the second sidewall 122 may interfere with the flat product 400. Therefore, the problem of the above interference can be overcome by the arrangement of the avoidance groove 123, so that the flat type product 400 can be placed on the carrier plate 110 of the packaging member 100 without interference.

In addition, the positioning rib 130 of the embodiment may further have a guiding surface 132 at a boundary between the positioning rib 130 and the first top surface 1213 / or the second top surface 1223. The guiding surface 132 can provide a good bonding strength between the positioning rib 130 and the first top surface 1213 / or the second top surface 1223, avoiding stress at the interface between the positioning rib 130 and the first top surface 1213 / or the second top surface 1223 Concentrated and broken. When the guide package member 100 ' is stacked on the package member 100, the guide bevel 132 can also provide a positioning effect when the positioning rib 130 is inserted into the positioning groove 140 ' . Moreover, since the slot length L2 and the slot width W2 of the elongated positioning slot 140 are respectively greater than the rib length L1 of the positioning rib 130 and the rib width W1, the elongated positioning slot 140 can have a large matching space. In this way, when the user assembles the positioning rib 130 into the elongated positioning groove 140, the assembly can be easily performed without the step of manual alignment, and the alignment between the positioning rib 130 and the elongated positioning groove 140 is achieved. This can be automatically achieved by the setting of the guide bevel 132.

Please refer to the "1C figure". In the practical application, the four packaging elements 100 are first placed on a pallet 300, and the packaging component 100 is fixed by a limiting rib 310 on the pallet 300. . The four corners of the flat product 400 are stacked on the four packaging elements 100, respectively, and are constrained by the four packaging elements 100. At this time, the other four packaging members 100 ' can be stacked and assembled on the four packaging members 100, respectively, and then the other flat product 400 can be stacked on the four packaging members 100 ' with its four corners. The above actions are repeated continuously to complete the procedure in which a plurality of flat type products 400 are stacked and packaged with each other.

In other words, each of the flat type products 400 is supported by the four packaging elements 100, and the gravity of the upper flat type product 400 acts on the lower four packaging elements 100. Therefore, by using the packaging method of the packaging member 100 of the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the lowermost flat type product 400 from being affected by the gravity lamination of the uppermost flat type product 400, thereby causing pressure loss damage. Moreover, the packaging component 100 of the present embodiment can be formed by a mold ejection process, so that the packaging component 100 has better rigidity and strength than the conventional packaging paper sleeve to provide a good protection effect for the flat type product 400. In addition, since the packaging elements 100 of the upper and lower layers have the effect of positioning, it is also possible to omit the step of the conventional packaging method requiring the wrapping of the film to save the packaging man-hour.
