Description

Packaging structure

The present invention relates to a packaging structure, and in particular to a packaging structure used for electronic products.

Electronic products are usually packaged and protected in packaging structures when they leave the factory to prevent them from being damaged during transportation. After consumers purchase electronic products, they must manually disassemble the packaging structure to take out the electronic products. However, the common packaging structure disassembly method lacks intuition and the steps are cumbersome, which leads to consumers having a negative impression of the product.

The present invention provides a packaging structure that helps optimize consumers' perception of the product.

The present invention provides a packaging structure, including a main box body, two inner movable panels and two outer movable panels. The main box body has a storage space. The storage space has a top opening and two side openings, and the two side openings are respectively located on opposite sides of the top opening. The two inner movable panels are symmetrically arranged on the main box body, and are movably connected to the main box body corresponding to the two side openings. The two outer movable panels are symmetrically arranged on the main box body, and are flipably connected to the main box body corresponding to the two inner movable panels. The two outer movable panels cover the top opening and the two inner movable panels, and the two inner movable panels cover the two side openings respectively. When the two outer movable panels flip away from the top opening, the two outer movable panels respectively generate structural interference with the two inner movable panels, thereby driving the two inner movable panels to move away from the two side openings respectively.

Based on the above, consumers can intuitively flip the two symmetrically arranged flip cover groups (each flip cover group includes an inner movable plate and an outer movable plate) to rotate and unfold the two flip cover groups relative to the main box body, and then directly take the electronic product out of the main box body. For consumers, the left-right opening design of the packaging structure is not only full of ceremonial sense, but also eliminates the cumbersome disassembly steps, greatly optimizing consumers' perception of the product.

In order to make the above features and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following is a detailed description of the embodiments with the accompanying drawings.

Figures 1A to 1D are schematic diagrams of the unfolding process of the packaging structure of an embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 1E is a schematic top view of Figure 1D.

Figure 1F is a schematic diagram of Figure 1A from another viewing angle.

Figures 1A to 1D are schematic diagrams of the unfolding process of the packaging structure of an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 1A. In this embodiment, the packaging structure 10 is suitable for packaging and protecting electronic products, such as laptops, but is not limited thereto. In detail, the packaging structure 10 includes a main box body 100 and two flip cover sets 200, wherein the electronic product is suitable for being placed in the receiving space 101 of the main box body 100 and covered by the two flip cover sets 200 closed to the main box body 100.

As shown in FIG. 1A to FIG. 1D , consumers can intuitively flip the two flip cover sets 200 so that the two flip cover sets 200 rotate and unfold relative to the main box body 100, and then directly take out the electronic product from the main box body 100. For consumers, the left-right opening design of the packaging structure 10 is not only full of ceremonial sense, but also eliminates the cumbersome disassembly steps, greatly optimizing consumers' perception of the product.

As shown in FIG. 1A to FIG. 1D , two flip cover sets 200 are symmetrically arranged on the main box body 100 and are suitable for flipping relative to the main box body 100. In detail, each flip cover set 200 is composed of an inner movable plate 210 and an outer movable plate 220, and the inner movable plate 210 is arranged between the outer movable plate 220 and the main box body 100. For example, the outer movable plate 220 and the inner movable plate 210 can only produce structural interference within a specific flip angle range to flip outward or inward synchronously. In other words, the outer movable plate 220 and the inner movable plate 210 adopt a floating connection design.

In the process of switching from the closed state to the unfolded state, the outer movable plate 220 first independently flips outward to the first angle relative to the main box body 100, and the outer movable plate 220 does not generate structural interference with the inner movable plate 210, so the inner movable plate 210 remains stationary, and the outer movable plate 220 slides relative to the inner movable plate 210. When the outer movable plate 220 flips outward to the first angle relative to the main box body 100, the outer movable plate 220 and the inner movable plate 210 generate structural interference, and then, the outer movable plate 220 that continues to flip from the first angle to the second angle greater than the first angle can synchronously drive the inner movable plate 210. Then, when the outer movable panel 220 continues to flip to other angles greater than the second angle, the structural interference between the outer movable panel 220 and the inner movable panel 210 disappears, so the inner movable panel 210 remains stationary, and the outer movable panel 220 slides relative to the inner movable panel 210.

In the process of switching from the open state to the closed state, the outer movable plate 220 first flips inwards independently relative to the main box body 100, and flips back to the second angle from other angles greater than the second angle to generate structural interference with the inner movable plate 210. Then, when the outer movable plate 220 flips back to the first angle from the second angle, the outer movable plate 220 synchronously drives the inner movable plate 210. Then, when the outer movable plate 220 continues to flip back to other angles less than the first angle, the structural interference between the outer movable plate 220 and the inner movable plate 210 disappears, so the inner movable plate 210 remains stationary.

That is, the outer movable panel 220 has a first flip stroke, and the inner movable panel 210 has a second flip stroke that falls within the first flip stroke or a second flip stroke that is smaller than the first flip stroke.

As shown in FIG. 1A to FIG. 1D , the receiving space 101 has a top opening 102 and two side openings 103, and the two side openings 103 are respectively located on opposite sides of the top opening 102. In detail, the two inner movable panels 210 are respectively corresponding to the two side openings 103 and are movably connected to the main box body 100, and the two outer movable panels 220 are respectively corresponding to the two inner movable panels 210 and are reversibly connected to the main box body 100.

In the closed state, the two outer movable panels 220 cover the top opening 102 and the two inner movable panels 210, and the two inner movable panels 210 cover the two side openings 103 respectively, so as to position the electronic product in the storage space 101, which can not only prevent the electronic product from sliding arbitrarily in the storage space 101, but also prevent the electronic product from being damaged by external force or foreign objects.

In the process of switching from the closed state to the unfolded state, the two outer movable panels 220 flip away from the top opening 102, and the two outer movable panels 220 can respectively generate structural interference with the two inner movable panels 210 to respectively drive the two inner movable panels 210 to move away from the two side openings 103. In the unfolded state, the consumer can reach into the receiving space 101 through the two side openings 103 to smoothly take out the electronic product from the receiving space 101.

Please refer to Figures 1A to 1D. In each flip cover assembly 200, the outer movable panel 220 has two positioning holes 221 arranged opposite to each other, and the inner movable panel 210 has two elastic tongues 211 arranged opposite to each other. In the process of switching from the closed state to the unfolded state, the outer movable panel 220 first independently flips outward to a first angle relative to the main box body 100, and the two elastic tongues 211 are squeezed by the outer movable panel 220, but do not generate structural interference with the outer movable panel 220, so the inner movable panel 210 remains stationary, and the outer movable panel 220 slides relative to the inner movable panel 210.

Specifically, the two elastic tongues 211 are respectively located on the moving paths of the two positioning holes 221. When the outer movable plate 220 is flipped outward to a first angle relative to the main box body 100, the two positioning holes 221 respectively move through the two elastic tongues 211 and are aligned with the two elastic tongues 211, so that the two elastic tongues 211 are respectively popped into the two positioning holes 221 to be respectively engaged with the two positioning holes 221. Then, the outer movable plate 220 can synchronously drive the inner movable plate 210 to flip from the first angle to a second angle greater than the first angle. Then, when the outer movable plate 220 continues to flip to other angles greater than the second angle, the two elastic tongues 211 are separated from the two positioning holes 221 respectively, so the inner movable plate 210 remains stationary, and the outer movable plate 220 slides relative to the inner movable plate 210.

In the process of switching from the open state to the closed state, the outer movable panel 220 first independently turns inward relative to the main box body 100, and turns back to the second angle from other angles greater than the second angle to contact the side edge of the inner movable panel 210. Then, when the outer movable panel 220 turns back to the first angle from the second angle, the outer movable panel 220 synchronously pushes the inner movable panel 210. Then, when the outer movable panel 220 continues to turn back to other angles less than the first angle, because the inner movable panel 210 has moved back to the initial position, the structural interference between the outer movable panel 220 and the inner movable panel 210 disappears, so the inner movable panel 210 remains stationary, and the outer movable panel 220 slides relative to the inner movable panel 210. For example, the two elastic tongues 211 of the inner movable plate 210 are squeezed by the outer movable plate 220 when switching from the open state to the closed state.

One of the partial enlarged views of FIG. 1A shows the matching relationship of the inner side of the outer movable plate 220. Referring to FIG. 1A to FIG. 1D, the main box body 100 also has two side baffles 104 located between the two side openings 103, wherein the two side baffles 104 are parallel to each other and surround the top opening 102 with the two side openings 103. In other words, the two side baffles 104 can roughly define the range of the receiving space 101.

Each outer movable panel 220 has two oppositely disposed locking holes 222, and each side baffle 104 has two oppositely disposed locking springs 105. Specifically, two of the locking springs 105 belonging to the two side baffles 104 are closer to one of the side openings 103, and are disposed corresponding to the two locking holes 222 of one of the outer movable panels 220, for example, respectively located on the moving paths of the two locking holes 222. In addition, the other two locking springs 105 belonging to the two side baffles 104 are closer to the other side opening 103 and are arranged corresponding to the two locking holes 222 of the other outer movable plate 220, for example, they are respectively located on the moving paths of the two locking holes 222.

In each flip cover assembly 200, when the outer movable panel 220 is flipped toward the top opening 102, the two locking holes 222 are respectively moved toward the two locking springs 105, so that the two locking springs 105 are respectively embedded in the two locking holes 222, so that the outer movable panel 220 is locked to the main box body 100 and covers the top opening 102. In the process of the two locking springs 105 being respectively embedded in the two locking holes 222, the two locking springs 105 collide with the outer movable panel 220 and make a sound, so that the consumer can know that the outer movable panel 220 has been locked to the main box body 100 through the sound. After the outer movable plate 220 is locked to the main box body 100, the flip cover assembly 200 cannot be flipped arbitrarily relative to the main box body 100, which greatly improves the packaging reliability.

Please refer to Figures 1A to 1D. In each flip cover set 200, the inner movable panel 210 includes an inner main panel 2101 for covering the side opening 103 and two inner side panels 2102 located at opposite sides of the inner main panel 2101, and two elastic tongues 211 are respectively arranged on the two inner side panels 2102. On the other hand, the outer movable panel 220 includes an outer main panel 2201 for covering the top opening 102 and the inner movable panel 210 and two outer side panels 2202 located at opposite sides of the outer main panel 2201, wherein two positioning holes 221 are respectively arranged on the two outer side panels 2202, and the two positioning holes 221 face each other.

Specifically, the two inner plates 2102 are located between the two outer plates 2202, and the two outer plates 2202 respectively contact the two inner plates 2102 or cover at least part of the two inner plates 2102. On the other hand, the two elastic tongues 211 are respectively deflected from the two inner plates 2102 to the two outer plates 2202. When the outer movable plate 220 and the inner movable plate 210 generate structural interference, the two elastic tongues 211 are respectively inserted into the two positioning holes 221, and each outer plate 2202 is buckled between the corresponding elastic tongue 211 and the inner plate 2102.

In this embodiment, two locking holes 222 are respectively provided on two outer plates 2202, and two positioning holes 221 face each other. On each outer plate 2202, the locking hole 222 falls on the outer plate 2202, and the locking hole 222 is located at or near the connection between the outer main plate 2201 and the outer plate 2202.

Please refer to FIG. 1C and FIG. 1D , the two inner side plates 2102 of each inner movable plate 210 are slidably inserted into the main box body 100. Further, each side baffle 104 has a positioning groove 106 extending between the two side openings 103, and the opposite ends of each side baffle 104 are two outward openings of the positioning groove 106, so that the two inner side plates 2102 belonging to the two inner movable plates 210 can be respectively inserted into the positioning groove 106. Further, the two inner side plates 2102 of each inner movable plate 210 can be respectively slidably inserted into the two side baffles 104, and are respectively inserted into the two positioning grooves 106 belonging to the two side baffles 104.

In this embodiment, each side baffle 104 further has two relatively arranged limiting holes 107, wherein the two limiting holes 107 are located in the positioning groove 106 and are respectively adjacent to the two outward openings of the positioning groove 106. On the other hand, each inner side plate 2102 has a limiting hook 2103 slidably disposed in the positioning groove 106, and each limiting hole 107 is located on the moving path of the corresponding limiting hook 2103. When each inner movable panel 210 moves away from the corresponding side opening 103, the two limit hooks 2103 of the two inner side panels 2102 move to the corresponding two limit holes 107 and engage with the two limit holes 107, to prevent the inner movable panel 210 from being separated from the side baffle 104.

As shown in FIG. 1D , each inner plate 2102 has a convex arc portion 2104 that is in sliding contact with the side baffle 104, and the limiting hook 2103 is connected to the convex arc portion 2104. In other words, the convex arc portion 2104 contacts the top of the side baffle 104 in the positioning groove 106 to improve the smoothness of the inner plate 2102 when sliding relative to the side baffle 104.

FIG. 1E is a schematic diagram of FIG. 1D from above. FIG. 1F is a schematic diagram of FIG. 1A from another angle. Referring to FIG. 1D and FIG. 1E, in this embodiment, the packaging structure 10 further includes two carrier plates 300 and two positioning plates 400, and the two carrier plates 300 and the two positioning plates 400 are disposed in the receiving space 101. Specifically, the two positioning plates 400 are disposed in parallel between the two side baffles 104 and extend between the two side openings 103. In addition, the two carrier plates 300 are disposed in parallel between the two positioning plates 400, and each has a finger receiving groove 310 facing the two side openings 103.

The two supporting plates 300 respectively have supporting surfaces 320 facing the top opening 102, and the electronic products can be supported by the two supporting surfaces 320 of the two supporting plates 300. When the consumer inserts both hands into the receiving space 101 through the two side openings 103, his fingers can further extend into the two finger receiving grooves 310 to smoothly and steadily take out the electronic products from the receiving space 101.

On the other hand, the two positioning plates 400 each have a positioning surface 410 facing the top opening 102, wherein the two bearing surfaces 320 of the two supporting plates 300 may be a plane, and the two positioning surfaces 410 of the two positioning plates 400 may be an inclined surface inclined to the two bearing surfaces 320. In detail, the two positioning surfaces 410 are inclined downward from any bearing surface 320 to the two side baffles 104, that is, the two high points of the two positioning surfaces 410 are respectively adjacent to any bearing surface 320, and the two low points of the two positioning surfaces 410 are respectively adjacent to the two side baffles 104.

Therefore, the electronic product can be placed stably on the two supporting surfaces 320. In addition, the two positioning surfaces 410 tilted downward relative to the two supporting surfaces 320 do not contact the electronic product, which helps to reduce the wear of the electronic product caused by vibration or shaking.

Please refer to Figures 1A, 1D and 1F. In this embodiment, in each outer movable plate 220, the outer main plate 2201 includes a first plate portion 2203 for covering the top opening 102, a second plate portion 2204 for covering the corresponding inner main plate 2101, and a third plate portion 2205 connected to the main box body 100. The second plate portion 2204 is connected between the first plate portion 2203 and the third plate portion 2205, and the two outer side plates 2202 are connected between the first plate portion 2203 and the second plate portion 2204. In other words, the two outer side plates 2202 are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the first plate portion 2203, and are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the second plate portion 2204.

Please refer to Figure 1A and Figure 1B. The first plate portion 2203 of each outer main plate 2201 is provided with a notch 2206 on one side away from the second plate portion 2204. When the two first plate portions 2203 cover the top opening 102, the two notches 2206 of the two first plate portions 2203 are connected to each other. The two connected notches 2206 facilitate consumers to insert their fingers therein and hold them on the two first plate portions 2203 to apply force to flip the two flip cover assemblies 200.

Please refer to Figures 1A, 1D and 1F. The main box body 100 also has a bottom 108 relative to the top opening 102, and the bottom 108 has two slots 109 arranged opposite to each other. In detail, the two third plate portions 2205 are respectively inserted and engaged with the two slots 109 to reduce the use of adhesives and facilitate consumers to detach the two outer side plates 2202 from the main box body 100. For example, each component in the packaging structure 10 can be made of corrugated paper.

In summary, consumers can intuitively flip up the two flip cover groups (each flip cover group includes an inner movable plate and an outer movable plate) to rotate and unfold the two flip cover groups relative to the main box body, and then directly take out the electronic product from the main box body. For consumers, the left-right opening design of the packaging structure is not only full of ceremonial sense, but also eliminates the cumbersome disassembly steps, greatly optimizing consumers' perception of the product.

In each flip cover assembly, when the outer movable panel is flipped to the top opening, the two locking holes are moved to the two locking springs respectively, so that the two locking springs are respectively embedded in the two locking holes, so that the outer movable panel is locked to the main box body and covers the top opening. In the process of the two locking springs being respectively embedded in the two locking holes, the two locking springs collide with the outer movable panel and make a sound, so that consumers can know through this sound that the outer movable panel has been locked to the main box body.

Although the present invention has been disclosed as above by the embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone with ordinary knowledge in the relevant technical field can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the scope of the attached patent application.
