DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0025] Refer to FIGS. 2-3, the present invention provides a box for carrying the liquid crystal display panel 100, which comprises a base 1 and a inner shell 2, the internal surface of the base 1 is matched with the outside surface of the inner shell 2, the inner shell 2 is assembled in the base 1 and the liquid crystal display panel 3 is assembled in the inner shell 2, a plurality of hollow holes 10 are opening at the base 1.

[0026] The base 1 and the inner shell 2 can be separated to each other. When the inner shell 2 is placed in the base 1, the outer wall of the inner shell 2 is stuck to the inner wall of the base 1. The base 1 is provided for supplying which is made of stiffness material. In the present invention, the base is made of metal by welding. Preferably, the base 1 is made of stainless steel with a certain strength and inflexibility. On the loading the large size liquid crystal display panel process, the load-bearing ability and the resistance to deformation ability can be improved. The inner shell 2 can be made by plastic molding or foam molding. Preferably, the inner shell 2 is made of Polyethylene terephthalate plastic (PET) or poly styrene (PS). The shape of the inner shell 2 can be altered with the shape of the loading liquid crystal display panel changing. The inner shell 2 is provided for supplying the liquid crystal display panel and avoiding contacting to the base 1, acting the action for buffer protecting the liquid crystal display panel.

[0027] The base 1 can be selected different structures. Refer to FIGS. 4-6, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the base 1 is a frame structure which is made of stainless material. The stainless supplying edges 12 are vertically intersected. The transverse supplying edges are in parallel, and the endwise supplying edges are also in parallel. The hollow holes 10 are formed by the intersected with the transverse supplying edges and the endwise supplying edges. The hollow holes 10 are symmetrically opening at the bottom arm and/or the side arm of the base 1. The areas of the hollow holes 10 are to be the same to balance the base 1. The weight of the whole base 1 can be lightened with the hollow holes 10. Refer to FIGS. 6-7, when the inner shell 2 is located in the base 1, the outer wall of the inner shell 2 is matched with the inner wall of the base 1 to load the liquid crystal display panel. The frame type base is made of metal with a lot of hollow holes, so the material of the base can be saved.

[0028] Refer to FIGS. 7-9, in the second embodiment of the present invention, the base 1 is formed by foam molding. The hollow holes 10 are opening at the bottom arm and/or the side arm of the base 1. The side arm and the bottom arm of the base are hollow body. The hollow hole 10 is to be cuboid shaped, the relation of each side of the hollow hole is 2.times.L.times.W>2.times.L.times.H+2.times.W.times.H, Refer to FIGS. 8b-9b, L is the length of the hollow hole, W is the width of the hollow hole, H is the depth of the hollow hole. After blowing into the hollow holes 10, the hollow holes 10 can be filled into the same material. The filled area is S1=2.times.L.times.W+2.times.W.times.H, and the hollowing area of the hollow hole 10 is S2=2.times.L.times.H, and the filled area S1 is larger than the hollowing area S2, that is, S2>S1. After the hollowing out process, about 2.times.L.times.H of the stainless material can be saved. But each side arm and bottom arm of the base 1 should be remain sealed off. Therefore, if the moderate same material is embedded into the hollow holes 10, the filled area is less than the initial hollowing area, then the whole weight of the base 1 can be decreased and the produce cost can be reduced with the same strength and inflexibility of the base 1. At the same time, the bottom arm and the side arm of the base 1 can be sealed off by filling the hollow holes. With a lot of hollowing area in the base, the materials can be reduced and the weight can be lightened. In addition, the closeness performance of the whole box is good with the sealing off all around.

[0029] In the present embodiment, the hollow hole in the side arm of the base can be acted as a handle for pulling, for the convenient of the pulling and carrying during transporting.

[0030] Refer to FIGS. 10-11, for enhancing the buffer performance of the whole box 100, the box 100 is also addition provided for a buffer gasket 4. Refer to FIG. 10, in the third embodiment of the present invention, the buffer gasket 4 is placed between the base 1 and the inner shell 2. Refer to FIG. 11, in the forth embodiment, the buffer gasket 4 is placed between the inner shell 2 and the liquid crystal display panel 3 for relieving the concussion of the liquid crystal display panel on the placing or transporting process. When the buffer gasket 4 is placed between the base 1 and the inner shell 2 by adjoining, the area of the buffer gasket 4 is equal to the area of the bottom area of the inner shell 2. Therefore, the shaking of the liquid crystal display panel on the inner shell 2 can be multilevel buffered with the inner shell 2 and the buffer gasket 4. That is to say, the buffer gasket 4 can be placed in the inner shell 2, and there is not adjoining layer between the buffer gasket 4 and the inner shell 2 or the base 1. The buffer gasket 4 is only placed between them without adjoining.

[0031] Refer to FIG. 11, in the forth embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of side gaskets 5 are located between the inner shell 2 and the liquid crystal display panel 3 or the inner shell 2 and the base 1. In the present embodiment, there are four side gaskets 5 that separately stood between the inner shell 2 and the base 1 for relieving the surround shaking from the inner shell 2 to the base 1 to keep the liquid crystal display panel 3 more steadily.

[0032] Refer to FIG. 5, a plurality of supplying edges 12 are interlaced at the base 1, the hollow holes 10 at the bottom arm are formed by the supplying edges 12. The inner shell 2 comprises a plurality of enhanced edges 22 and grooves 20, the grooves 20 are limited by the enhanced edges 22. The enhanced edges 22 are symmetrical bulged to the grooves 20 for improving the strength of the inner shell 2. For further improving the strength of the whole box 100, the supply edges 12 of the base 1 are interlaced to the enhanced edges 22 of the inner shell 2, therefore, with the reciprocal compensation between the supplying edges 12 and the enhanced edges 22, the strength of the whole box would be enhanced to load the large size liquid crystal display panel more suitable.

[0033] The box for carrying the liquid crystal display panel of the present invention comprises a supplying institution for carrying and loading the liquid crystal display panel 3 with the base 1 and the inner shell 2 superposing together. The base 1 and the inner shell 2 are made of different material respectively. Therein, the base 1 can play a main supplying role, which is made of the metal material by welding or blowing. The inner shell 2 can play a limiting or sealing off role, which is formed by plastic molding or foam molding. The base 1 is a hollowing structure, so the material can be greatly reduced and saved. Besides that, the supplying edges on the base 1 is interlaced to the enhanced edges on the inner shell 2 so as to improve the supplying intensity of the whole box to load the large size liquid crystal display panel 3. In addition, the inner shell 2 and the base 1 can also be formed by plastic molding. As a result, the requirement for the mould can be greatly reduced and the material can be saved to cut down the producing cost.
