and embodiments.
[0045] For ease of description, a packaging box 2 and a cushioning
pad 1 and a sheet 4 that are disposed in the packaging box 2 are
together referred to as a packaging assembly 3.
[0046] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 together, the cushioning pad 1
provided in an embodiment of this application is described. The
cushioning pad 1 includes a body 11 and a protrusion 12. The body
11 is disposed between two adjacent sheets 4 and is used to isolate
the two adjacent sheets 4, to avoid friction between the two
adjacent sheets 4 to cause damage to the sheets 4. The protrusion
12 is disposed on the body 11 and extends from an end of the body
11, and the extended part extends beyond a corresponding end of
each sheet 4. Therefore, a number of sheets 4 can be learned
rapidly only by examining the protrusion 12, thereby improving the
efficiency of counting the number of the sheets 4. It may be
understood that the packaging box 2 is used to carry the sheets 4,
and the sheet 4 is not a part of the packaging box 2.
[0047] A plurality of protrusions 12 may be disposed around the
sheets 4, to facilitate counting of the sheets 4 from a plurality
of directions, so as to improve the efficiency of counting the
sheets 4. The protrusions 12 are disposed in a corresponding groove
23 of the packaging box 2, so that it is convenient to count the
protrusions 12, thereby improving the efficiency of counting the
sheets 4. In addition, the groove 23 can further fit corresponding
protrusions 12, thereby improving the safety of packaging the
sheets 4, and the sheets 4 can alternatively be placed in a
misaligned manner, thereby improving the efficiency of packaging
the sheet 4. In another embodiment, the number and the positions of
the protrusions 12 may also be adjusted according to an actual
requirement, and are not uniquely limited herein.
[0048] The cushioning pad 1 may be made of an organic material, for
example, an expandable polyethylene (EPE) material. Therefore, the
cushioning pad 1 has relatively high elasticity and a desirable
cushioning protection effect. In addition, the operation of
counting the number of the protrusions 12 is facilitated. The
cushioning pad 1 is formed by die cutting and stamping, so that
processing and production are facilitated. In another embodiment,
the cushioning pad 1 may be made of another material by using
another processing process, and the material and processing process
are not uniquely limited herein.
[0049] The sheet 4 may be an object such as a display panel or a
touchscreen. In another embodiment, the sheet 4 may alternatively
be another object, which is not uniquely limited herein.
[0050] At least one through hole 10 is provided at a position,
corresponding to the sheet 4, in the body 11. In this structure,
when the body 11 closely fits two adjacent sheets 4, there is a
particular difference between the external pressure and the
pressure between the body 11 and the sheet 4, and it is difficult
to separate the body 11 and the sheet 4. The through hole 10 is
provided for air to enter a fitting slit between the body 11 and
the sheet 4 through the through hole 10, to keep a balance between
the external pressure and the pressure between the body 11 and the
sheet 4, thereby facilitating separation between the body 11 and
the sheet 4. In another embodiment, another manner may be used to
facilitate the separation between the body 11 and the sheet 4, and
is not uniquely limited herein.
[0051] In this application, the protrusion 12 is disposed at at
least one end of the body 11 of the cushioning pad 1. The
protrusion 12 may extend beyond a corresponding end of the sheet 4.
Therefore, a number of the sheets 4 can be learned rapidly only by
counting the number of the protrusions 12, so that the operation is
convenient and rapid.
[0052] In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 together,
in a specific implementation of the cushioning pad 1 according to
an embodiment of this application, a cross section shape of the
body 11 is in conformity with a cross section shape of the sheet 4.
In this structure, the body 11 may fully support and protect the
sheet 4, thereby improving the safety of packaging and transporting
the sheet 4, so as to avoid a phenomenon that the body 11 can
protect only a partial region of sheets 4, which causes the sheets
4 to be slightly deformed or damaged under imbalanced pressure. In
another embodiment, the cross section shape of the body 11 and the
cross section shape of the sheet 4 may be adjusted according to an
actual production requirement, and are not uniquely limited
herein.
[0053] In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 5 together, in a
specific implementation of the cushioning pad 1 provided in an
embodiment of this application, there are two through holes 10.
[0054] In this structure, in one aspect, production and
manufacturing materials of the cushioning pad 1 can be saved,
thereby reducing production costs, and in another aspect, the body
11 may be rapidly separated from the sheets 4, thereby improving
the efficiency of assembling and disassembling the sheets 4. In
another embodiment, the number of the through holes 10 may be
adjusted according to an actual requirement, and is not uniquely
limited herein.
[0055] In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 5 together, in a
specific implementation of the cushioning pad 1 provided in an
embodiment of this application, diameters of the two through holes
10 are equal. This structure facilitates production and
manufacturing of the body 11, thereby further improving the
production efficiency. In another embodiment, the diameters of the
two through holes 10 may be adjusted according to actual
production, and are not uniquely limited herein.
[0056] In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 5 together, in a

of four ends of the body 11. In this structure, a number of sheets
4 can be determined conveniently and rapidly by counting the
protrusions 12. One extra protrusion 12 disposed at each of a
plurality of ends of the body 11 can facilitate counting in a
plurality of directions. In another embodiment, the number of the
protrusions 12 disposed at each end of the body 11 may be adjusted
according to actual production, and is not uniquely limited
herein.
