Abstract:In order to study the cushioning performance of electric rice cooker in the process of circulation, the transportation packaging was designed by choosing the environmental friendly cushioning material foamed polyethylene (EPE) as the buffering cushion, and AB type corrugated board as the outer packaging. According to the specification and cushioning requirement of the rice cooker, the structures of cushioning lining and outer packing box were calculated and designed, and were modeled by Solidworks software. The established model was input into ANSYS, with the parameters of each layer of cushioning packaging material set up, and the free falling body drop simulation test was carried out. By analyzing the stress distribution cloud diagram and the maximum stress curve at the moment of the contact with the ground, it was found that the maximum stress occurred in the position of the outer packing box contacting the ground during the fall process, and the maximum stress was smaller than the ultimate stress of the rice cooker material ABS. Therefore, the designed transportation packaging could meet the buffering requirements and achieve the purpose of protecting the rice cooker.
