- In general, a packing box for an electronic product functions to protect electronic products housed therein and contributes to convenient transfer and stacking. That is, a variety of distribution processes are required to transfer electronic products from a production line of factories to consumers. Packing boxes are generally used to prevent the breakage or damage of electronic products caused by external factors such as external impact in the distribution process and to contribute to convenient transfer and stacking.
- Such a packing box for an electronic product generally takes a rectangular shape and enables packing by inserting an electronic product into the packing box and then joining bonding members, arranged at both sides of the top and the bottom, or at both sides of left and right sides of the packing box. However, such a bonding member is firmly attached in order to maintain safe packing, thus disadvantageously making the packing box difficult to disassemble.
- Furthermore, such a general packing box is utilized in large electronic products such as air conditioners and refrigerators. However, unpacking these large electronic products indoors is quite inconvenient, thus inevitably requiring unpacking outdoors and then transfer indoors. In the transfer process, the electronic product may be damaged.
- In addition, since conventional packing boxes for electronic products require the use of means such as knives or scissors in order to remove the electronic product from the packing box, the product included therein may be damaged. Furthermore, upon return of electronic products, the cut packing boxes are difficult to recycle.

More specifically, thethird packing unit 300 passes through the first andsecond packing units - Like the first and
second packing unit 200, thethird packing unit 300 includes aside surface 310 wherein a rectangular sheet plate is divided into four identical parts. Theside surface 310 includes twowide surfaces 311 which occupy a large area and twonarrow surfaces 312 which occupy a small area. Thewide surface 311 and thenarrow surface 312 are partitioned from each other, based on afirst folding portion 310 a, and a holdingmember 330 is arranged at one end of thewide surface 311, the outermost side from the center of thewide surface 311. Thefirst folding portion 310 a is folded to form one side of thethird packing unit 300 with twowide surfaces 311 and twonarrow surfaces 312, and the holdingmember 330 is bonded to thenarrow surface 112 arranged at opposite sides thereof, to provide thethird packing unit 300. - In addition, the third packing
unit side surface 310 is provided with at least one fixingmember 320 on which the second packingunit holding member 230 is fixed. The third packingunit fixing member 320 may take the form of an engagement jaw, which is provided by cutting a portion of thethird packing unit 300 and is engaged in the second packingunit holding member 230. That is, the third packingunit fixing member 320 may be formed such that it is cut and protrudes downward by press-forming an area corresponding to the second packingunit holding member 230. - Accordingly, while the
third packing unit 300 passes through thesecond packing unit 200 in order to pack the electronic product, the third packingunit engagement jaw 320, which is cut and protrudes downward, is engaged in the secondpacking unit slot 230, thereby allowing thethird packing unit 300 to easily join to thesecond packing unit 200. - Hereinafter, an operation of the packing box for an electronic product according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIGS. 5A , 5B, 6A, 6B, 7A and 7B illustrate a process for disassembling the packing box for an electronic product according to one embodiment of the present invention. - First, a size of the packing box according to one embodiment of the present invention will be explained below.
- As shown in
FIG. 5A , a width of the second packing unit W2 is greater than a width of the first packing unit W1 so that thesecond packing unit 200 can pass through thefirst packing unit 100. As shown inFIG. 5A , compared to the first packing unit width W1, the second packing unit width W2 has a space with a size of about half a thickness T so that thesecond packing unit 200 can pass through thefirst packing unit 100 and be fixed on thefirst packing unit 100 at the fixingmember 220. - A width of the third packing unit W3 is greater than the second packing unit width (also referred to as a horizontal length) W2 so that the
third packing unit 300 can pass through thesecond packing unit 200. Like the second packing unit width W2, the third packing unit width W3 has a space with a size of about half a thickness T, compared to the second packing unit width W2, so that thethird packing unit 300 can pass through the first andsecond packing units second packing unit 200 at the fixingmember 320. - A length of the second packing unit L2 is substantially equivalent to a length of the first packing unit L1, and a length of the third packing unit L3 is substantially equivalent to the first and second packing unit lengths L1 and L2. This length specification aims to allow users to easily disassemble the
packing box 10 and cause thepacking box 10 to overlap another box in a predetermined portion. - Hereinafter, a process for disassembling and repacking the packing box according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. First, as shown in
FIGS. 5A and 5B , when thethird packing unit 300 is lifted up in an A direction, the third packingunit fixing member 320 is disengaged from the second packingunit holding member 230, and thethird packing unit 300 slides in an A direction along the outside of thesecond packing unit 200, while thethird packing unit 300 is separated from thesecond packing unit 200. - That is, when a user lifts up the
third packing unit 300, the third packingunit engagement jaw 320 is disengaged from the secondpacking unit slot 230 and thesecond packing unit 200 can thus be readily separated from thethird packing unit 300. - Next, as shown in
FIGS. 6A and 6B , when thethird packing unit 300 is further lifted in an A direction, the second packingunit engagement jaw 220 is disengaged from the firstpacking unit slot 130, thefirst packing unit 100 is separated from thesecond packing unit 200 and thesecond packing unit 200 thus slides along the outside of thefirst packing unit 100. - Accordingly, as shown in
FIGS. 7A and 7B , thefirst packing unit 100, thesecond packing unit 200 and thethird packing unit 300 overlap one another, thus reducing an overall length of thepacking box 10 and enabling thepacking box 10 to be readily separated from the large electronic product. That is, thepacking box 10 according to one embodiment is divided into one or more units along a packing direction of the electronic product, and the units are joined to one another through theslots engagement jaws packing box 10, thus eliminating the necessity of an additional device to separate thepacking box 10 and further readily disassembling thepacking box 10, as compared to conventional cases. - In addition, the packing box for an
electronic product 10 is separated from the electronic product without using any device, thus causing no damage to the surface of thepacking box 10. Accordingly, thepacking box 10 separated from returned electronic products is recycled to repack the electronic product in a reverse order of the disassembly order thereof, thus advantageously significantly reducing a repacking cost of the electronic product. - As apparent from the foregoing, the packing box for an electronic product according to one embodiment of the present invention includes one or more units to pack an electronic product having a length greater than a width, thus advantageously making it easy to disassemble and readily repacking returned electronic products.
- Although a few embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the claims and their equivalents.
