Abstract: Because of its special cylindrical structure, the cushion of electric water heater is fragile during transportation and inclined during storage. Taking the packaging material of cylindrical electric water heater as the research object, the current transportation environment of the product is analyzed, and the shortcomings of the existing EPS cushion products is summarized. The compression test and fracture bending test of EPS material and EPO material are carried out respectively. It is found that EPO material is more suitable for cylindrical household appliances. The cushion structure based on EPO material is designed to replace the original EPS cushion, and the feasibility of cushion material and structure is analyzed.

Key words: Electric water heater, Cushion, EPO material, Structural design
