Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cardboard boxes, specifically a side-opening cardboard box structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the packaging industry, cardboard boxes, as commonly used transportation and storage containers, are designed with core requirements in mind, such as easy opening, secure storage, and safe transport. Traditional cardboard boxes typically have a top opening and are often sealed with disposable tape, making repeated opening and closing inconvenient. Furthermore, when placed at a height, retrieving the contents requires moving the entire box, which is labor-intensive. Existing side-opening cardboard boxes usually use a single-layer body with a side-opening structure (such as a flip-top or drawer type), lacking locking mechanisms. During transport, vibrations can easily cause the inner box to slip out, damaging the contents. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a side-opening cardboard box structure to solve the problems of difficulty in retrieving items when the cardboard box is placed at a high position and the lack of a locking device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a side-opening carton structure, including an outer box body, the outer box body being hollow and open on one side, an inner box body being provided inside the outer box body, and two first grooves being provided on the bottom side of the inner wall of the outer box body near the opening.

[0005] The internal housing is hollow and open at the top. Two second grooves are provided at the bottom of the internal housing, corresponding to the first groove. These second grooves are used to accommodate the limiting blocks. A snap-fit ​​groove is provided in the middle of the side panel of the internal housing, which is at the same position as the opening of the external housing. An "n"-shaped third groove is provided inside the side panel of the internal housing, which is at the same position as the opening of the external housing. An "n"-shaped connecting rod is provided inside the third groove. The lower end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the two limiting blocks. A spring is sleeved on the lower end of the connecting rod, with the lower end of the spring contacting the top surface of the limiting block, and the upper end of the spring being limited to the top surface of the second groove. The lower end of the third groove communicates with the two second grooves, and the upper end of the third groove passes through the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0006] With the inner box placed inside the outer box, the limiting block engages within the space formed by the first and second grooves.

[0007] Preferably, a lid is provided on one side of the opening of the external housing.

[0008] Preferably, the lid includes a connecting plate, one end of the lid is fixedly connected to the box body, and the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. The inner side of the connecting plate is provided with a hook and loop fastener, and the outer side of the box body is provided with a hook and loop fastener rough surface on the side corresponding to the hook and loop fastener.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the outer casing is provided with a lifting strap.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting block is a trapezoidal limiting block with a slope at the bottom.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] By pulling the connecting rod through the latch, the two limiting blocks can be simultaneously disengaged from the first groove, enabling rapid separation of the inner and outer boxes. Compared to traditional adhesive tape or multi-clip locking structures, this design requires only one hand to operate, making it particularly suitable for high-frequency unpacking scenarios. The spring preload ensures that the limiting blocks automatically engage with the first groove after the connecting rod is released, forming a stable mechanical lock and preventing the inner box from slipping out due to vibration during transportation. The Velcro closures on the lid and outer box further protect the inner box, providing cushioning during violent shaking and preventing the inner box from slipping out. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5The present invention provides a technical solution: including an outer box 1, which is a hollow box with an opening on one side, and an inner box 2 is provided inside the outer box 1. Two first grooves 102 are provided on the bottom of the inner wall of the outer box 1 near the opening.

[0021] The inner box 2 is a hollow box with an open top. The bottom of the inner box 2 is provided with two second grooves 201 corresponding to the first groove 102. The second grooves 201 are used to accommodate the limiting block 7. The side plate of the inner box 2 with the same opening position as the outer box 1 is provided with a buckle groove 5 in the middle. The side plate of the inner box 2 with the same opening position as the outer box 1 is provided with an "n"-shaped third groove 202. The third groove 202 is provided with an "n"-shaped connecting rod 8. The lower end of the connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the two limiting blocks 7 respectively. The spring 9 is sleeved on the lower end of the connecting rod 8. The lower end of the spring 9 contacts the top surface of the limiting block 7. The upper end of the spring 9 is limited to the top surface of the second groove 201. The lower end of the third groove 202 is connected to the two second grooves 201 respectively. The upper end of the third groove 202 is connected through the buckle groove 5.

[0022] With the inner box 2 placed inside the outer box 1, the limiting block 7 is engaged in the space formed by the first groove 102 and the second groove 201.

[0023] With the above technical solution, by pulling the connecting rod 8 through the buckle 5, the two limiting blocks 7 can be simultaneously driven to disengage from the first groove 102, realizing the rapid separation of the inner and outer boxes. The preload of the spring 9 ensures that the limiting block 7 automatically engages in the first groove 102 after the connecting rod 8 is released, forming a stable mechanical lock.
