Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of packaging, and
in particular to a package box of liquid crystal display
module.
[0003] 2. The Related Arts
[0004] It is inevitable that a liquid crystal display module may be
impacted or falling during the shipping thereof. To well protect
the liquid crystal display module, it is desired to use a liquid
crystal display module packaging device to provide positioning and
cushioning to the liquid crystal display module. Commonly used
package boxes include cartoons and plastic cases. Plastic cases
have better structures and low prices, but show poor cushioning
performance so that cushioning blocks must be additionally provided
inside the cases to effect cushioning. Commonly used cushioning
blocks are made of foaming substance, such as expandable
polyethylene (EPE) and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). These
substances are of high prices and are hard to restore after being
compressed, making cushioning performance deteriorating and
incapable of repeated use, so that the recycling value is low and
cost control is hard.
[0005] A conventional liquid crystal display module package box is
illustrated in FIG. 1. The package box comprises a box body 100, a
bottom cushioning structure 300, and a top cushioning structure
500. The bottom cushioning structure 300 comprises a cushioning
bottom board 302, two cushioning side boards 304 that are mounted
on the cushioning bottom board 302 and arranged at two ends of the
cushioning bottom board 302, and three positioning cushioning
boards 306 that are mounted on the cushioning bottom board 302 and
arranged, in a spaced manner, between the two cushioning side
boards 304. The two cushioning side boards 304 are both provided
with a plurality of spaced receiving slots 305. The three
positioning cushioning boards 306 are all provided with a plurality
of positioning slots 307 corresponding to the receiving slots 305.
The top cushioning structure 500 that is used in combination with
the bottom cushioning structure 300 has a structure corresponding
to that of the bottom cushioning structure 300. To set up, the
cushioning bottom board 302 is first positioned in the box body
100. Next, liquid crystal display modules 700 are sequentially fit
into the receiving slots 305 and the positioning slots 307.
Finally, the top cushioning structure 500 is set on the tops of the
liquid crystal display modules.
[0006] However, this type of liquid crystal display module package
box is has a complicated structure and is hard to restore the
original configuration after being compressed thereby making the
performance of cushioning thereof not so significant, which may
occasionally cause damage to the liquid crystal display modules
during the process of transportation and shipping.
[0007] Thus, it is a challenge to the present inventor and those
devoted themselves to the art to provide an effective liquid
crystal display module packaging device that realizes positioning
and cushioning for package boxes during the shipping thereof and
also overcomes high cost, complicated structure, and insignificant
cushioning performance of the conventional liquid crystal display
module packaging devices.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0026] The technical solution, as well as beneficial advantages, of
the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed
description of an embodiment of the present invention, with
reference to the attached drawings. In the drawings:
[0027] FIG. 1 is a schematic view illustrating an operational flow
of conventional way of packaging package box; and
[0028] FIG. 2 is a schematic view illustrating coordination between
a positioning and cushioning device of a liquid crystal display
module package box according to the present invention and liquid
crystal display modules.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0029] To further expound the technical solution adopted in the
present invention and the advantages thereof, a detailed
description is given to a preferred embodiment of the present
invention and the attached drawings.
[0030] Referring to FIG. 2, the present invention provides a liquid
crystal display module package box, which comprises: a box body
(not shown) and a positioning and cushioning device 2 arranged in
the box body. The positioning and cushioning device 2 that is
arranged in the box body provides positioning and cushioning
effects to liquid crystal modules 4. The positioning and cushioning
device 2 comprises a plurality of positioning sections 22 and a
plurality of supporting sections 24 that is arranged to be spaced
from the positioning sections 22. Connection sections 26 are
provided between the positioning sections 22 and the supporting
sections 24. The positioning sections 22, the supporting sections
24, and the connection sections 26 are all air pocket structures
and are integrally formed with interiors communicating with each
other to be filled with gas. The gas used is air. In a
transportation process, the positioning and cushioning device 2
uses the positioning sections 22 to clamp liquid crystal display
modules 4 at opposite sides and uses the supporting sections 24 to
support the liquid crystal display modules 4. The amount of air
contained in the cushioning device provides effects of cushioning
and support, whereby elastic deformation may result when acted upon
by an external force to cushioning the external force and
restoration may efficiently occur when the external force is
removed so as to better protect the liquid crystal display modules
4 with a simple structure and low cost.
[0031] The positioning sections 22 have a size greater than that of
the supporting sections 24. Each of the liquid crystal display
modules 4 is interposed and retained between two adjacent
positioning sections 22 and is born by the supporting sections 24.
The positioning sections 22 tightly interpose and retain the liquid
crystal display modules 4 and have a size greater than that of the
supporting sections 24 to better retain the liquid crystal display
modules 4.
[0032] The positioning sections 22, the supporting sections 24, and
the connection sections 26 are integrally formed with low density
polyethylene. Low density polyethylene provides excellent
cushioning performance and is low cost and free of odor.
[0033] The positioning and cushioning device 2 is provided with an
air-filling (not shown) and a closure device (not shown) for
closing the air-filling hole. In the process of filling air, air is
filled through the air-filling hole to complete the inflation of
whole device. After the filling of air, the closure device is
applied to close and seal the air-filling hole to provide an effect
of cushioning. During the transportation and shipping of the
positioning and cushioning device 2, air can be expelled from the
interior of the device to reduce space occupation ratio and thus
lowering the transportation cost.
[0034] The box body is a paper box or a plastic box and is
preferably a plastic box in the instant embodiment. The plastic box
has a better structure than regular cartons and is not easily
damaged when repeatedly used and is also humidity-proof and
water-proof to thereby offer better protection. Further, repeated
use of the plastic box allows a reduction of packaging cost.
[0035] In summary, the present invention provides a liquid crystal
display module package box, which uses an air-bag type cushioning
body to serve as a positioning and cushioning device for liquid
crystal display modules, wherein the positioning and cushioning
device is positioned in the bottom of a box body to provide an
effect of retaining and protecting the liquid crystal display
modules and to better protect the liquid crystal display modules
during the transportation and shipping of the liquid crystal
display modules by preventing damages caused by external forces
occurring during the transportation and shipping process. Further,
the positioning and cushioning device of the liquid crystal display
module package box according to the present invention has a simple
structure, is easy to manufacture, and can thus effectively lower
down the manufacture cost.
[0036] Based on the description given above, those having ordinary
skills of the art may easily contemplate various changes and
modifications of the technical solution and technical ideas of the
present invention and all these changes and modifications are
considered within the protection scope of right for the present
invention.
