Description

FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of packaging and transportation of household appliances, and more particularly, to a mounting structure for packaging and transporting a household appliance according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for packaging and transporting a household appliance.

BACKGROUND

[0002] With growth in the standard of living, people put forward higher and higher requirements on domestic hot water, particularly at aspects such as comfort and energy conservation, which makes the industry of heat pumps wins users' good graces. Therefore, integral heat-pump water heaters are approved in the markets. Compared with a common water heater, a space and labor cost for mounting an integral heat-pump water rises to some extends and a weight of the whole machine is comparative heavy, after a system part and a water tank part of a whole integral heat-pump water heater are integrated. Particularly, stainless steel in the water tank is replaced by enamel with good anticorrosion property, which effectively reduces cost but also increases the weight, for example, a weight of an unloaded product of about 200 L is almost 130 KG. Since the enamel water tank is easy to break, a design of a package for transporting the integral heat-pump water heater should ensure that the product is effectively protected during transportation and transfer, besides the cost, convenience and safety for the user during disassembling and assembling should be taken into account.

[0003] The document US 7,555,879 B1 discloses an apparatus and method for the shipping and installation of an ATM. A pallet includes a plurality of readily separable components and a plurality of component fasteners. The pallet is equipped with a plurality of cantilever shipping brackets each having an open end shipping bracket slot through which a leveling leg of the ATM extends. The leveling leg is construed like a bolt fastener having a threaded shaft and a larger head. The ATM is attached to the pallet when the leveling leg is retracted fully upward and firmly engages the cantilever shipping brackets.

[0004] Document US 8,425,165 B2 is directed to a pallet apparatus having a pallet base and fixing members. The product is fixed on the fixing member by threading screw members. These screw members are installed - state adjusting members for adjusting the height or inclination of the product upon installation. The fixing member having a slit construction so that a head portion of the screw members can be attached and detached thereto in an easy manner (see for example Figs. 11 and 12).

[0005] Document DE29810013 U1 is directed to a pallet for supporting a kettle with feet. We also attach a computer generated English translation of this document for your own review. The feet have a bigger head which, according to the description, may pass through openings in the cover elements and are secured by essentially lyra-shaped securing clips. Upon removal of the securing clips, the feet can be lifted upwardly and the heads pass through the opening.

[0006] The document CN204979522 U refers to a structure that facilitates a disassembly and assembly of a body and a mounting bracket by the use of screws. The body is provided at the lower side with mushroom -shaped holes so that the head portion of the screws can, in one position, pass therethrough and another position is secured therein. The bracket has a plurality of parallel apertures through which the screws can extend through. The screws are secured to the bracket by means of spring washers, flat washers, lock nuts and longitudinal plates. The longitudinal plates have a length sufficient that two screws arranged in distance can pass through corresponding holes in the plates.

[0007] In a further related related art, a bottom wood frame with bottom foam is usually used for packaging and transporting a large-scale household appliance, particularly a household appliance having a comparatively heavy weight and fragile components. Specifically, first, the bottom form is prefixed on the bottom wood frame by wood screws, and then the household appliance is placed on the bottom foam. In order to ensure stability of the household appliance during transportation and transfer, the bottom foam is provided with a heightened profiling section, i.e. a part of a body of the household appliance can be embedded and attached in the bottom foam. It is tested in long-term market that with this kind of scheme, a household appliance with comparatively heavy weight and comparatively high height, such as the integral heat-pump water heater, is hard to disconnect and carry off from the bottom foam when the user mounts the appliance. Moreover, that the machine is toppled down happens quite regularly, resulting in big negative influence on products. Worse still, the foam pollutes the environment. Therefore, there is need to provide a more environmentally friendly and effective structure suitable for packaging and transporting a household appliance having a heavy weight.

[0030] The present disclosure provides a novel mounting structure for packaging and transporting a household appliance, aiming at problems in the related art that a mounting structure for packaging and transporting a household appliance in the related art is inconvenient to dismount.as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the mounting structure includes a bottom pedestal 1, a fastener 2, and a washer 3.

[0031] A bottom of a household appliance, such as an integral heat-pump water heater, can be provided with a mounting hole 41, the bottom pedestal 1 defines a through hole 11 running through in an up-down direction. The bottom pedestal 1 is configured to be arranged at the bottom of the household appliance. During installation, the fastener 2 passes through and links the through hole 11 and the mounting hole 41 to fasten the household appliance on the bottom pedestal 1. In such manner, the household appliance is fixed on the bottom pedestal 1 to form an integral structure, since the bottom pedestal 1 is good in shakeproof and buffered effect, the household appliance can be protected well during transportation, and also is convenient to dismount.

[0032] The fastener 2 includes a head portion and a connecting portion which are connected sequentially from a lower to an upper. An area of a cross section of the head portion of the fastener 2 is greater than an area of a cross section of the connecting portion. An upper end of the connecting portion of the fastener 2 passes through the through hole 11 of the bottom pedestal 1 to be connected to the household appliance. The area of the cross section of the head portion of the fastener 2 is no greater than an area of a cross section of the through hole 11 of the bottom pedestal 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a diameter D of the through hole 11 is no less than an outer diameter d of a bottom end of the fastener 2.

[0033] The washer 3 is arranged between a bottom surface of the bottom pedestal 1 and an upper surface of the head portion of the fastener 2, to prevent the head portion of the fastener 2 from falling down into the through hole 11. In such manner, the household appliance together with the fastener 2 can be directly dismounted from the bottom pedestal 1 when the washer 3 is dismounted.

[0034] Since the mounting structure for packaging and transporting a household appliance of the present disclosure adopts a fixing manner in which a household appliance, such as an integral heat-pump water heater, is directly fixed to the bottom pedestal 1 by the fastener 2, a layer of bottom foam which is needed to be arranged on the bottom pedestal 1 in the related art is saved, therefore this scheme is a novel mounting structure, and the foam adopted by the related art which pollutes environment is no longer needed in this scheme, types of materials are simplified, therefore, the mounting structure of the present disclosure is more environmentally friendly with a lowered usage cost.

[0035] The mounting structure for packaging and transporting a household appliance of the present disclosure is convenient to dismount and mount, which is particularly suitable for household appliance product having a comparatively heavy whole weight.
