Introduction In recent years, the proportion of logistics packaging is more and more valued in the logistics cost. In the home appliance packaging industry, corrugated and honeycomb paperboard material has been widely used for packaging home appliance products[1-3], these packaging materials must have good cushioning properties, can play a protective role in the process of transportation. Domestic and foreign scholars have made a lot of research on the cushioning properties of the packaging materials such as paper pulp molding. Xu Jie[4] explored the cushioning material properties and the development of home appliances cushioning packaging.

Development of transistor technology has promoted the TV to the LCD flat, the packaging safety problem of flatpanel TVs have become the focus of research. This paper mainly carries on the design research of the flat TV's logistics package cushioning pad, five step design method that consider the packing dynamics and simulation results as the primary consideration is adopted, According to the stress curve of the material, select the appropriate buffer pad, three dimension imitation design of cushioning pad is simulate by CATIA software, and using the finite element software ABAQUS to do stress analysis and strength test, so that the choice of buffer material is more reasonable. 2. Selection of cushion liner based on five steps 2.1. Determine the circulation environment For the logistics distribution of flat TV, the vibration in the drop impact and transportation is the main flow environment. In the process of flat screen television transport will often occur horizontal and vertical impact, the impact of either vertical or horizontal, they can be converted to the equivalent of the acceleration of falling height. It can be seen that the equivalent drop height is very scientific and convenient to consider the impact resistance of packaging. Therefore, in the process of research, the design of the circulation environment can be summed up to determine the drop height of the packaging. At present, most of the cushioning packaging design according to the national standard of China ( GB/T package transport package drop test method and GB/T packaging transport packages compilation of performance test program for quantitative data )to do drop test, passing this test is qualified, so the test height of the test can also be used as a buffer package design drop height. In real life, the distribution mode of flat-panel TV is mainly artificial delivery. So that this paper considers the height of the human wrist from the ground, the effects of straps and cushion thickness, etc. The final ideal drop height is 250mm Determine the vulnerability of the product Products with poor packaging in the circulation process, have rupture, deformation, failure and other phenomena, resulting in the loss of product value, known as damage. If the amount of value is used to describe the extent of the damage, that is fragility[11]. The fragility is a reflection of the mechanical properties of the product itself, which is the ability of the product to resist dynamic shock when it is subjected to shock or vibration. When the impact force on the product exceeds its value, the structure of the product will be damaged or invalid. In order to ensure the safety of the product, it should carry out a reasonable cushioning package and below its fragility. In this paper, through the inquiry of the United States military standards, the United Kingdom comprehensive protection manual and the Japanese defense agency standard, after a comprehensive analysis, the final calculation of the fragility of the flat panel TV is G= Choose appropriate buffer pad After investigation, the average weight of 42 inch TV is about 15kg, taking the quality of the distribution equipment and the overall safety into account, the average quality of flat TV is 20kg. Through the circulation environment and the vulnerability of products identified by the above, the fragility of the flat panel TV is G=70, equivalent drop height is 250mm. products landing is commonly under the surface, so the bottom area of about m 2. The maximum stress of the liner is: GW m 225 MPa (1) A 0.6 m In the formula: is the calculation of the maximum stress for the liner, G is the fragility, W is the flat panel TV gravity, A is its lower surface area. Refer to the relevant charts, and the product is a polystyrene foam,. The

3 906 Gui Kun and Wang Xi / Procedia Engineering 174 ( 2017 ) density is g/cm3 and the buffer factor is C = The thickness of the liner is calculated as: CH h 9.3( mm) (2) G 70 In the formula: h is the thickness of the pad, C is the buffer factor, H is the drop height, G is the fragility of the product. 3. Simulation experiment of liner ABAQUS finite element software is powerful and widely used, can solve the nonlinear problem which is very complicated, a rich pool of cells allows it to simulate any geometry and it has a variety of types of material model library. In the nonlinear analysis, the ABAQUS can automatically select the appropriate load increment and the convergence limit, and adjust it to obtain the accurate solution. There are two main solver:abaqus / Standard and ABAQUS / Explicit, in ABAQUS software. It also contains a comprehensive support solver before processing the graphical user interface, ABAQUS / CAE, and some corresponding modules for some special problems. Because of the excellent simulation and analysis capability and reliability of ABAQUS software, it has been adopted by more and more countries and enterprises in various fields Establishment of model The bottom surface of the flat panel TV is mainly exposed to the ground, so the force of cushion liner when the flat panel TV is falling is mainly considered. The ground is considered as a rigid body, and the flat TV is regarded as a large elastic body of Young's modulus. After checking the relevant information[12], the young's modulus of polystyrene foam is E=3000Mpa, Poisson's ratio of polystyrene foam is We select the section of the TV and cushion pad, in order to facilitate the calculation, increase the width of the pad to reduce the computational error. Using ABAQUS to establish the plane model, as shown in Figure The selection and division of the grid Fig. 1 Finite element model of TV slammed into the ground. According to the packaging safety requirements, we choose to make an explicit dynamic analysis of the cushion pad[13-14]. Relative to the implicit dynamic method[15], explicit dynamics has a faster solution, and has better convergence property. The grid unit uses the plane strain element CPE4R, which is a kind of hourglass function

Unit partition is shown in Figure 2. Fig. 2 Finite element model of meshing Conclusion analysis Through calculation, we know that when the TV hit the ground, the speed is v=0. 024m/s. After reaching the ground, due to the buffering effect of polystyrene foam, the TV will do deceleration motion, until the kinetic energy turn into elastic potential energy of liner. In order to get the approximate distance, we assume that the television is colliding with the ground at a speed of v=0. 024m/s and keep it moving, to obtain the relationship of elastic potential energy of liner and TV vertical displacement (product of time and speed),. After calculation, get the results as shown in Figure 3. Fig. 3 Elastic potential energy and time Figure 4 shows that when t= , the elastic potential energy is equal to the gravitational potential energy. The gravitational potential energy W can be calculated as follows:

5 908 Gui Kun and Wang Xi / Procedia Engineering 174 ( 2017 ) W mgh 20kg 9.8N / s 0.25m 49J (3) In the formula: W is the gravitational potential energy, m is the quality of the goods, g is gravity acceleration, H is the drop height. In order to ensure the security, the value is appropriate to take a large, and in the final calculation, the impact of the television is seen as a deceleration movement. So that the initial speed of the television is v=0. 024m/s, uniformly retarded motion speed becomes zero after s. The increase of the elastic potential energy is obtained as shown in Figure 4. Fig. 4 Elastic potential energy and time of final model From Figure 5, the model's final elastic potential energy is 58J, the fall situation can be better estimated. Through the ABAQUS simulation analysis, get the mises stress diagram while the television hits the ground, as shown in figure 5. You can calculate the maximum stress is 27Mpa<225Mpa, it is very safe.

6 Gui Kun and Wang Xi / Procedia Engineering 174 ( 2017 ) Conclusion In this paper, through five steps of packaging design, the specific material of polystyrene foam was firstly determined and selected. Then the thickness of the pad is obtained by consulting and calculating, so as to design the packaging liner, and finally get the Mises stress by the simulation analysis of finite element software ABAQUS. And the performance of its resistance to impact is verified, proving that our package design meets the design requirements. References [1] Chen Peng.
