Application of Earthquake Prevention Technology in Design of Carton Structure

Shockproof packaging, also called cushioning packaging, occupies an important position in various packaging methods. Products from production to the beginning of use through a series of transport, storage, stacking and loading and unloading process, placed in a different environment. In any environment will have a strong role in the product, and make the product mechanical damage. In order to prevent damage to the product, we must try to reduce the impact of external forces. The so-called shock-proof packaging refers to the package used to slow down the shock and vibration of the contents and protect them against damage. Common cushioning packaging materials include foam plastic, honeycomb paperboard, pulp molding, corrugated board, paper type, air cushion and plant fiber packaging cushioning materials. As many modern packaging and cushioning materials are used in one-time use, many countries and regions have made higher regulations for environmental protection, prompting the further development of green buffer packaging, and there are also many green packaging materials, such as: shredded paper , crepe paper, corrugated board, pulp molding, biodegradable plastic, honeycomb paperboard, etc. In the structural design of carton, how to use shockproof technology to package the products that are required for earthquake protection?

The main requirements of the customers When conducting research on customers, we always encounter products of various shapes; there are high weight parts of individual products such as automobile parts, and fragile items such as glass products. The customer's requirements are not all the same. The main requirements are as follows: n Reduce costs (some other packaging such as wooden boxes are expected to be replaced by cartons); n The storage and transportation cycle is too long and needs to deal with the strength of the carton during long-term storage and transportation. The decay; n The impact of the warehouse environment on the stacking requires the carton to have high pressure resistance; n The environmental protection requirements (such as some foamed plastics need other environmental protection products to be replaced); n The transportation and sales packaging are integrated; n Packing The impact of speed; n more specifications, integrated packaging and so on. The main aspects of the shockproof design must ensure that the strength of the carton itself can deal with the hazards caused in the storage and transportation environment. This requires a comprehensive design and simulation test of the carton in order to achieve effective protection of the product. When designing the carton structure, there are mainly the following aspects in respect of carton shockproof: Corrugated gaskets: Gaskets are the most common protective measures against resonance and impact damage to the product during the carton transport process. And the gasket structure is simple and easy to produce; it is especially suitable for the protection of some products with more regular shapes.

Corrugated grille: The grille is used for separate packing of small items and is generally used with cartons. The design of the carton louver must be compact; an effective fixed product is in the louver so that it does not collide. When used for the packaging of metal coated articles, the effect is remarkable. Proper corrugated louvers can also increase the compressive strength of the carton ensemble. Of course, the barriers of the carton are also used for the separation of items, which is more cost-effective than individual product packaging. Protecting the corners: Developing the corners of the carton is a wide range of types; there are folding corners and adhesive corners. It is generally designed according to the shape of the appearance of the product and the product combined with the corner. The products that use the angle protection are many products with higher quality. Therefore, the overall pressure resistance and impact resistance of the carton and the influence of resonance must be taken into consideration when designing. Single-sided corrugated paper: In the packaging of glass products, more packaging methods are used.

Together with carton corners, the effect is remarkable. The use of single-sided corrugated paper's ductility is suitable for packaging cylinder-shaped glass products. When selecting single-faced corrugated paper for product protection, different corrugated types can be adopted according to different product weights, which can effectively prevent resonance from harming the product. Suspended packaging cartons: For this type of packaging, cartons can be made with corners or can be completely boxed with corrugated cardboard. Due to its unique structural design, this kind of carton can enable the product to get a similar suspended space in the carton, which can effectively deal with the damage caused by the product in the transport environment. This kind of carton can be used both as a transport package for cartons and as a sales package for cartons. Due to its higher cost, it is suitable for packaging of products with higher added value. In the structural design of the carton, no matter which kind of carton shockproof method is used, must follow the carton structure design six-step method. That is to conduct a comprehensive survey of customers, to master the logistics and storage and transportation environment; the use of appropriate materials and types of protection in the design and so on. After the design is completed, it is necessary to perform tests such as resonance, drop and compression on the sample box, calculate the hazard of the product during storage and transportation, and check whether the product can be effectively protected. It is necessary to effectively protect the product while also preventing excessive packaging of the product. Also consider the cost in the design.
