DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The invention provides a shared packaging box for an LCD panel and an LCD panel assembly. FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show a first example of the packaging box of the invention. The packaging box comprises a box body 2 for containing the LCD panel assembly, and further compress a dismountable adjusting block 3 which is used for covering a containing space for a FPC and a circuit board and positioning the side of the LCD panel; the adjusting block 3 is arranged in the position inside the box body 2 used for arranging the FPC and circuit board of the LCD panel assembly.

The invention further provides a using method of the aforementioned shared packaging box, comprising the following steps:

Confirming whether the LCD panel or the LCD panel assembly is contained;

Packaging the LCD panel after confirming that the adjusting block is arranged on the box body if the LCD panel is contained; and

Packaging the LCD panel assembly after confirming that the adjusting block is removed from the box body if the LCD panel assembly is contained.

The shared packaging box for an LCD panel and an LCD panel assembly of the invention can be used as a packaging box for an LCD panel when arranging the adjusting block 3, and can be used as a packaging box for an LCD panel assembly when removing the adjusting block 3; both positioning modes are reliable to achieve the aim of one object with dual purposes; thus, the number of packaging boxes is significantly reduced, and the packaging cost is reduced.

To ensure the proportionality of the strength of the whole box body, preferably, the adjusting block 3 and the box body 2 are made of the same material.

In the example, the bottom of the adjusting block 3 is provided with protrusions 31, the bottom of the box body 2 is correspondingly provided with grooves 21, and the adjusting block 3 is fixed on the box body 2 after the protrusions 31 are inserted in the grooves 21. The cross section of the protrusions 31 at the bottom of the adjusting block 3 is triangle, rectangle or round in shape. The assembling mode is convenient and reliable.

In the example, the inner side of the box body 2 and the inner side surface of the adjusting block 3 are respectively provided with notches 22, 32 facilitating taking out the packaged object. Because the box body of the packaging box is tightly matched with the periphery of the LCD panel or the LCD panel assembly, the object is difficult to take out. The notches 22, 32 which are specially arranged allow hands or fingers to enter inside the box body 2, thereby facilitating people to take out the part in the packaging box.

In the example, the inner sides of the four corners of the box body 2 are provided with notches 22. The cross section of the notches 22 is arc in shape. Because the corners of the box body of the conventional packaging box are in direct contact with the corners of the part, the part is difficult to take out, and the part corners are easy to damage. The notches 22 of the invention enable the corners of the LCD panel or the LCD panel assembly to be released, and the LCD panel or the LCD panel assembly is only positioned by sides, thereby facilitating taking out the LCD panel or the LCD panel assembly. The cross section of the notches is designed into an arc shape to reduce the damage to the strength of the box body as far as possible.

FIG. 4 shows a second example of the shared packaging box for an LCD panel and an LCD panel assembly of the invention, and the second example is only different from the first example in that: the mode of arranging the adjusting block 3 on the box body 2 is different; both ends of the adjusting block 3 in length direction are formed into tenon structures 33, the side wall of the box body 2 is correspondingly provided with tenon grooves 23, the tenon structures 33 of the adjusting block are inserted in the tenon grooves 23, and then the adjusting block 3 is fixed on the box body 2. The rest structures and advantages are the same as the first example; thus, the example will not give unnecessary details.

FIG. 5 shows a third example of the shared packaging box for an LCD panel and an LCD panel assembly of the invention, and the third example is only different from the second example in that: the mode of arranging the adjusting block 3 on the box body 2 is different; the outer side surface of the adjusting block 3 is provided with tenon structures 33, the side wall of the box body 2 is correspondingly provided with tenon grooves 23, the tenon structures 33 of the adjusting block are inserted in the tenon grooves 23, and then the adjusting block 3 is fixed on the box body 2. The rest structures and advantages are the same as the first example; thus, the example will not give unnecessary details.

The invention is described in detail in accordance with the above contents with the specific preferred examples. However, this invention is not limited to the specific examples. For the ordinary technical personnel of the technical field of the invention, on the premise of keeping the conception of the invention, the technical personnel can also make simple deductions or replacements, and all of which should be considered to belong to the protection scope of the invention.
