  For example, electrical devices installed in a limited space such as a hot water storage type water heater are relatively tall and large in size. Therefore, rolling occurs during transportation and cargo handling, and damage, deformation, and the like are likely to occur due to collision with surrounding articles or falling.

  In addition, since electrical equipment is generally installed along the wall or embedded on the back of the product, functional parts are gathered in a part of the body case that is easy to open and close for convenience of maintenance. The center of gravity is shifted to the side where the parts are gathered. For this reason, the impact received by the product to be packed during loading or unloading on the transport vehicle is biased, and the main body case or the like may be bent and deformed.

  In the packaging structure of Patent Document 1, it is impossible to prevent a drop impact that occurs when unloading from a transport vehicle. Therefore, it is necessary to reinforce the gantry or provide a cushioning material that supports the packaged product from below. Not only is it cumbersome, but it also increases costs.

  Moreover, according to the packaging apparatus of patent document 2, the packaged device is deformed or damaged due to the stress generated when the packaged device is lifted or dropped from the loading platform of the transport vehicle. Although it can be prevented, the response to the eccentric center of gravity has not been sufficient.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and even if a package is dropped during transportation, storage, cargo handling, etc., by mitigating the impact received by the packaged device via the packaging device. An object of the present invention is to provide a packaging device that can prevent deformation and breakage of a packaged device.

The packaging device according to the present invention is a packaging outer box comprising a pedestal to which a leg of a packaged device incorporating functional parts and the like is fixed, a trunk exterior body that covers the exterior of the packaged device, and a top cap exterior body And a fastening band for fastening and fixing them , the diagonal member is provided between the opposing side surface of the packaging outer box and the device to be packaged, and the diagonal member is disposed at the lower end thereof. It is attached to a pedestal on the side close to the center of gravity of the device, and its upper end is brought into contact with the upper inner wall surface of the trunk exterior body and the inner wall surface of the top cap exterior body .

According to the present invention, the diagonal member is provided between the opposing side surface of the packaged device and the packaging outer box, and the diagonal member is attached to the gantry on the side close to the center of gravity of the packaged device, and the upper end Since the part is brought into contact with the upper inner wall surface of the trunk outer body and the inner wall surface of the top cap outer body, the impact transmitted from the packaging device to the packaged device can be mitigated even if the packaging body falls. The deformation and breakage of the packaged equipment can be prevented. That is, when the diagonal member receives an impact due to the dropping of the packing body, the diagonal member works to push up the trunk exterior body and the top cap exterior body. The horizontal component of the force to be pushed up gives the body exterior body an outward horizontal force, and this horizontal force causes the deflection to the biased side of the center of gravity of the packaged equipment. On the other hand, it acts as a reaction force, and each force is offset to prevent deformation and breakage due to distortion of the packaged equipment.

It is typical explanatory drawing which shows the state which packaged the to-be-packaged apparatus with the packaging apparatus which concerns on one embodiment of this invention. It is a side view of FIG. It is explanatory drawing which shows the attachment state of the diagonal material to a packaging apparatus. It is explanatory drawing which shows the position of the gravity center of the package of FIG.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic explanatory view showing a state in which a device to be packaged is packaged by a packaging apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of FIG. In addition, the figure has shown the state which packed the hot water storage type water heater which is a to-be-packaged apparatus.

  In both figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a packaging device for packaging a hot water storage type hot water heater 10 which is a packaged device. It is fixed. A sleeve-shaped exterior body 3 made of cardboard (hereinafter referred to as a body exterior body) is fitted and attached to the body portion of the hot water storage type water heater 10, and the top portion of the body exterior body 3 is attached to the top portion.
