Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to the field of packages, and more particularly to a packaging box for liquid crystal glass.

BACKGROUND

Conventional liquid crystal display (LCD) devices employ various glass plates and glass components. As a brittle material, glass is easily broken and then scrapped when being knocked or shaken by external force. Even the friction between glass plates possibly causes the glass plates to be scratched or the circuits on the glass substrates to be damaged. Therefore, how to safely and effectively transport liquid crystal glass becomes a crucial issue.
In the prior art, the frequently-used packaging mode is that: a plurality of liquid crystal glass are stacked and then put in a packaging box, and buffer sheets are arranged among the liquid crystal glass; the packaging box is generally made of expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polyethylene (EPE), expanded polystyrene (EPS), etc. The expanded materials have the advantages of better buffer performance, certain hardness, no drop of powdered scraps without worrying about that the environment of the dust-free room is affected. However, the expanded materials are expensive, which do not favor the reduction of packaging cost.
The application of the China patent of invention whose application number is 200610157354.2 and whose title is packaging box for glass substrates, discloses a packaging box. The containing space of the packaging box is changed by additionally arranging buffer components on the inner surface of the side wall of the packaging box, to facilitate the packaging box to contain glass substrates of different sizes; thus, the glass substrates are freely packaged, and the cost is effectively reduced. To obtain more containing spaces of different sizes, the patent application provides a scheme: adding more buffer components. As shown in FIG. 4 of the patent, another set of buffer components are added on the based of adding one set of buffer components, the newly added buffer components are clamped on the original buffer components, to further reduce the containing space. Thus, the number of the buffer components is increased, so the cost is increased, and the management is difficult.

When not being provided with the buffer components 2, the packaging box for liquid crystal glass is used for containing large-size liquid crystal glass; when being provided with the buffer components 2, the packaging box for liquid crystal glass is used for containing small-size LC glass. In the invention, at least two packaging boxes of different sizes can be assembled by only one set of buffer components 2 and the same box body 1, to meet the packaging requirement of liquid crystal glass or liquid crystal glass components of different sizes. The packaging box for liquid crystal glass of the example has three different containing sizes, so that the liquid crystal glass of various sizes can share the packaging box and be freely packaged, thereby effectively reducing the packaging cost.
In the example, the buffer components 2 and the box body 1 are made of the same material which has good buffer performance, such as EPP, EPE, EPS, etc. The buffer components 2 are arranged on the middle part inside the side wall(s) of the box body 1. The buffer components 2 are provided with holding parts, the box body 1 is provided with two clamping parts used or fixing the buffer components, and the holding parts of the buffer components 2 are clamped in the clamping parts of the box body 1. More specifically, the holding parts are clamping tenons 21, and the clamping parts are clamping slots 11; the clamping tenons 21 are clamped in the clamping slots 11. The matching structures of the clamping tenons 21 and the clamping slots 11 are easily assembled, and reliably fixed, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.
Optionally, the holding parts in the example can also be clamping slots, and the clamping parts can be clamping tenons; the clamping slots are clamped in the clamping tenons. The aim of the invention can also be achieved by only simply exchanging the structure of the clamping tenon with that of the clamping slot. The clamping tenon can further be an ordinary rectangle clamping block.

The second example is different from the first example in that: the buffer components 2 are arranged on the four corners inside the box body 1, and the clamping slots 11 of the box body are also arranged in the four corners of the box body 1. The clamping slot 11 comprises a main clamping slot, and three wider branch clamping slots. The clamping tenon 21 of the buffer component 2 can be clamped in any branch clamping slot, namely the buffer component 2 has three different positioning positions. Thus, the packaging box for liquid crystal glass has three different containing sizes. The rest structures and advantages are the same as the first example; thus, the second example will not give unnecessary details.
Optionally, the buffer components of the invention can also be arranged on the four corners inside the box body and the middle part inside the side wall of the box body. Thus, the LC glass can be positioned at the corners and in the middle.
