Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of food packaging, and particularly to a clamping structure for a bottle body and a method for packaging a bottle body using the clamping structure. Background Art

[0002] Combined packaging is to combine a certain number of products together to form a packaging unit, which is convenient for warehousing, handling, and carrying, etc. Compared with single-piece packaging, combined packaging can enhance the selling advantage. Among them, the use of a clamping structure can display the product packaging design and promotional patterns, and can achieve the maximum display effect on the shelf. Figure 1 A conventional combined packaging structure is shown. Corrugated cardboard is used to clamp the neck of the beverage bottle through a nested structure. After packaging, there is a handle on the upper part, which can conveniently lift the bottle. The disadvantages of this design are as follows: 1. The outer packaging area is large, which not only increases the material cost but also blocks the packaging design of the beverage bottle, which is not conducive to shelf display; 2. Assembly and disassembly need to be completed on a relatively smooth plane; 3. The expansion function is insufficient. This structure is only applicable to two rows of bottles and cannot hold more rows.

[0003] The content in the background art section is only the technology known to the inventor, and does not necessarily represent the prior art in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0049] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0050] Figure 2A The expanded schematic view of the clamping structure 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. The clamping structure 10 includes a first clamping portion 11 and a second clamping portion 12.

[0051] Among them, the first clamping portion 11 includes a plurality of first clamping holes 111, and the aperture of the first clamping holes 111 is larger than the diameter of the bottle cap of the bottle body. The second clamping portion 12 includes a plurality of second clamping holes 121 corresponding to the first clamping holes 111, that is, when the first clamping portion 11 and the second clamping portion 12 are stacked together, the first clamping holes 111 and the second clamping holes 121 at least partially overlap. The aperture of the second clamping holes 121 is larger than the diameter of the bottle cap of the bottle body. Among them, "the aperture of the clamping hole is larger than the diameter of the bottle cap" means that the size of the clamping hole is adapted to the size of the bottle cap, that is, the bottle cap can be allowed to pass through the clamping hole, rather than a limitation on the shape of the clamping hole. The clamping hole can be designed as a square hole, a circular hole or an irregular hole. The shape design of the clamping hole mainly considers as much contact as possible between the periphery and the bottle body to facilitate the stability of clamping. The size design of the clamping hole mainly considers adapting to bottle bodies and bottle caps of different sizes.

[0052] The first clamping portion 11 can be stacked with the second clamping portion 12, and the second clamping portion 12 can be switched between a first position and a second position relative to the first clamping portion 11. In the first position, the aperture of the plurality of cross holes H1 formed by the one-to-one correspondence between the first clamping holes 111 and the second clamping holes 121 is smaller than the diameter of the bottle cap of the bottle body and larger than the diameter of the bottleneck. Among them, "the aperture of the cross hole H1 is smaller than the diameter of the bottle cap and larger than the diameter of the bottleneck" means that the size of the cross hole H1 is adapted to the size of the bottleneck, that is, it can be clamped at the bottleneck, rather than a limitation on the shape of the cross hole. In the second position, the aperture of the plurality of cross holes H2 is larger than the diameter of the bottle cap of the bottle body. Specifically, according to the relative positional relationship formed by the stacking of the first clamping portion 11 and the second clamping portion 12, the first position and the second position are formed. Refer to Figure 3 Figure (a) in. In the first position, the second clamping portion 12 is stacked on the first clamping portion 11, the number and positions of the first clamping holes 111 and the second clamping holes 121 correspond to each other, and their shapes can be the same or different. The aperture of the cross hole H1 formed by the two is smaller than the diameter of the bottle cap of the bottle body and larger than the diameter of the bottleneck. At this time, the first position is the position for clamping the bottle body, that is, the position for completing the combined packaging of the bottle body and the clamping structure 10. Refer to Figure 3 Figure (b) in. In the second position, the second clamping portion 12 is above the first clamping portion 11, and the aperture of the three-dimensional cross hole H2 defined by the two is larger than the diameter of the bottle cap of the bottle body. At this time, the second position is the position for the bottle body to be clamped or the clamping structure 10 to be disassembled.

[0053] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first card hole 111 and the second card hole 121 have the same shape and size. The same shape and size of the card holes are beneficial to the compatibility of the molds and the convenience of processing. For example, both the first card hole 111 and the second card hole 121 are generally circular holes with a hole diameter larger than the diameter of the bottle cap. The first clamping portion 11 and the second clamping portion 12 are stacked. In the second position, the first card hole 111 and the second card hole 121 are substantially aligned or the projection of the second card hole 121 is substantially aligned with the first card hole 111, forming a cross-hole H2 with a relatively large approximate circular shape; in the first position, the first card hole 111 and the second card hole 121 are staggered, forming a double-arc cross-hole H1 with a relatively small size.

[0054] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2A , the first card hole 111 includes a first opening 1111 and a second opening 1112. Among them, the size of the first opening 1111 is larger than the bottle cap of the bottle body, and the size of the second opening 1112 is smaller than the bottle cap size of the bottle body and larger than the bottleneck size. Preferably, the second card hole 121 has the same shape and size as the first card hole 111. That is to say, the second card hole 121 includes a third opening 1211 and a fourth opening 1212, and the size of the third opening 1211 is larger than the bottle cap size, and the size of the fourth opening 1212 is smaller than the bottle cap size of the bottle body and larger than the bottleneck size. The first opening 1111 is, for example, a relatively large circular hole shape, and the second opening 1112 is, for example, a relatively small circular hole shape. As Figure 2A shown, the two partially overlap to form a shape with one end large and one end small. The larger circular hole adapts to the diameter of the bottle cap, that is, it can pass through the bottle cap, and the smaller circular hole adapts to the diameter of the bottleneck, that is, it can pass through the bottleneck. In the first embodiment, the third opening 1211 and the fourth opening 1212 are respectively the same as the first opening 1111 and the second opening 1112 (they can also be different in other embodiments), which will not be elaborated here. The present invention does not limit the shape of the opening as long as it adapts to the bottle cap and bottleneck sizes respectively, and it is within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0055] When using the clamping structure 10 for combined packaging of beverage bottles, the first clamping portion 11 and the second clamping portion 12 are stacked vertically. In the second position, the first opening 1111 of the first card hole 111 and the third opening 1211 or the fourth opening 1212 of the second card hole 121 form a cross-hole H2. At this time, the aperture of the cross-hole H2 is the largest, and the opening size is larger than the bottle cap size. After the cross-hole H2 passes through the bottle cap, the clamping structure 10 is switched to the first position, and the second opening 1112 of the first card hole 111 and the fourth opening 1212 of the second card hole 121 form a cross-hole H1. The aperture of the cross-hole H1 is smaller than that of the cross-hole H2, and the opening size is between the bottle cap size and the bottleneck size, and it can be clamped at the bottleneck, movable but not loose.

[0056] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first clamping portion 11 further includes a handle member 112 perpendicular to the plane where the plurality of first card holes 111 are located. The second clamping portion 12 further includes a slot 122 corresponding to the handle member 112. The handle member 112 can pass through the slot 122 until the second clamping portion 12 and the first clamping portion 11 are stacked vertically. Refer to Figure 2A and Figure 2B , the first clamping portion 11 has a generally symmetrical design and includes Figure 2A two substantially identical halves as shown in Figure 2B . One half of the number of first card holes 111 and a part of the handle member 112 are respectively provided on the two halves. After squeezing the two ends of the first clamping portion 11 provided with the first card holes 111 towards the middle, the middle part bulges and coincides to form the handle member 112. The handle member 112 is perpendicular to the plane where the first card holes 111 are located, as shown in Figure 3 . At this time, the periphery of the plane where the first card holes 111 are located is aligned with the periphery of the second clamping portion 12, and the position of the handle member 112 corresponds to the position of the slot 122. When the slot 122 passes downward through the handle member 112, the second position shown in FIG. (b) in Figure 3 is formed; when the slot 122 continues to move downward until the second clamping portion 12 and the first clamping portion 11 are stacked vertically, the first position shown in FIG. (a) in Figure 3 is formed. The combined design of the handle member 112 and the slot 122 can improve the comfort of carrying.

[0057] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the handle member 112 is in the unfolded state, the handle member 112 and the plurality of first card holes 111 are located in the same plane, and the plurality of first card holes 111 are symmetrically arranged on both sides or around the handle member 112. Refer to Figure 2A , taking the current mainstream 6-bottle combination packaging specification as an example, the handle member 112 is arranged at the middle position of the first clamping portion 11. Three first card holes 111 are arranged in a row on one side of the handle member 112, and the other three first card holes 111 are arranged in a row on the other side of the handle member 112. The symmetrical design is beneficial to the balanced force of the clamping structure 10 and improves stability. When the material strength permits, the clamping structure 10 can be extended to 4 rows of card holes, 6 rows of card holes, 8 rows of card holes, etc.

[0058] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first clamping portion 11 further includes a limiting member 113. The limiting member 113 is arranged on one side of the handle member 112 to limit the lateral movement of the second clamping portion 12. Refer to Figure 2A and Figure 2B, after squeezing the two ends of the first clamping part 11 towards the middle, the middle part bulges and overlaps to form a handle part 112 and a limiting part 113. After the clamping structure 10 is switched from the second position to the first position, the second clamping part 12 can be locked in the first position by the limiting part 113, so as to prevent the aperture of the cross-hole H1 from becoming larger due to the movement of the second clamping part 12, thereby causing the clamping of the bottleneck to become loose or the bottle body to become loose and slide off.

[0059] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2A and Figure 2B , one side of the handle part 112 has symmetric step parts 113-1 and 113-2. When the first clamping part 11 is unfolded, the step parts 113-1 and 113-2 are separated from each other. After squeezing the two ends of the first clamping part 11 towards the middle, while the handle part 112 is formed, the two independent step parts 113-1 and 113-2 overlap to form a step part, that is, the limiting part 113. The width of the slot 122 is basically equal to the width of the first clamping part 11 below the step part. Wherein, in the first position, the second clamping part 12 and the first clamping part 11 are stacked up and down; in the second position, the second clamping part 12 and the first clamping part 11 are separated on one side. In the first position, since the width of the slot 122 is basically equal to the width of the first clamping part 11 below the step part, the second clamping part 12 is clamped or locked in the first position by the step part (that is, the limiting part 113) and cannot move along the Figure 2B horizontal direction R-R in Figure 3 as shown in (a) in Figure 2B , so as to keep the smaller cross-hole H1 unchanged, thereby keeping the bottle cap locking the bottle body. As shown in Figure 3 in (b) in Figure 2A and Figure 2B , when one side (the right side in the figure) of the second clamping part 12 rises to the upper part of the step part, the previous locking in the first position is released. Therefore, the second clamping part 12 can move along the horizontal direction R-R in the figure or rotate around the other side (the left side in the figure) (as shown in Figure 3In Figure (b), press the second clamping part 12 obliquely downward. First, pass the slot 122 through the handle part 112. The second clamping hole 121 on one side of the second clamping part 12 first forms an intersecting hole H2 with the first clamping hole 111 on one side of the first clamping part 11. The other side of the second clamping part 12 is suspended above the first clamping part 11, thus forming a second position to be clamped or disassembled. When the second clamping part 12 continues to be pressed downward until it touches the limiting part 113, move the second clamping part 12 horizontally so that the slot 122 passes through the limiting part 113 until the second clamping part 12 is stacked on the first clamping part 11. Refer to Figure 3 Figure (a) therein to complete the conversion from the second position to the first position, thereby forming a clamping connection to the bottle body.

[0060] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the handle part 112 includes a through hole 1121 and a crease 1122 provided at the root of the through hole 1121. When the second clamping part 12 and the first clamping part 11 are stacked up and down, the handle part 112 can be bent to one side along the crease 1122 until the through hole 1121 is buckled at the bottle cap. Preferably, the height of the limiting part 113 is lower than the height of the crease 1122. Refer to Figure 2A , in the unfolded state of the handle part 112, the through hole 1121 is divided into two independent through holes, and the crease 1122 is also divided into two independent creases. After squeezing the two ends of the first clamping part 11 towards the middle, the middle part bulges and coincides to form the handle part 112, the two parts of the through hole 1121 coincide, and the two parts of the crease 1122 also coincide. The through hole 1121 is adapted to the size of the human hand. Preferably, it is the width of four fingers. Refer to Figure 3 In Figure (a) therein, when the clamping structure 10 is in the first position, it forms a clamping connection to the bottle body. At this time, the bottle cap is higher than the plane of the second clamping part 12 but lower than the height of the handle part 112, and does not block the through hole 1121, which is convenient for consumers to carry. Preferably, the height of the bottle cap is slightly higher than the height of the crease 1122. When the handle part 112 is bent to one side along the crease, the through hole 1121 can be buckled at the bottle cap, that is, the clamping structure 10 does not additionally increase the height of the bottle body to ensure that no additional space is occupied during transportation or stacking.

[0061] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the handle part 112 further includes a baffle 1123 corresponding to the through hole 1121. The baffle 1123 can be received in the through hole 1121 or bent to one side to form an anti-scratch design and improve the comfort of long-term lifting.

[0062] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first clamping part 11 is further provided with a first groove 114, and the first groove 114 and the limiting part 113 are arranged on the same side of the handle part 112. Optionally, a second groove 124 is provided at the corresponding position of the second clamping part 12. Refer to Figure 2B, when the first clamping part 11 is in the unfolded state, there are two independent notches on the side close to the limiting part 113. After squeezing the two ends of the first clamping part 11 towards the middle, the middle part bulges to form the handle part 112, and the two independent notches form the first groove 114. Refer to Figure 3 , at the first position and the second position, the second groove 124 is above the first groove. Preferably, the depth of the second groove 124 is smaller and the depth of the first groove 114 is larger. When changing from the first position to the second position, just place the finger at the first groove 114, then lift the second groove 124 upwards while pressing down the limiting part 113, and the restriction of the limiting part 113 on the second clamping part 12 can be released. Finally, the clamping structure 10 can be easily disassembled.

[0063] The clamping structure 10 of the present invention has been described above through Embodiment 1. During actual application, refer to Figure 4A , first, the second clamping part 12 is obliquely inserted into the first clamping part 11, and then it vertically covers the bottle caps of 6 beverage bottles placed flat. During the process that the cross-hole H2 formed by the second clamping part 12 and the first clamping part 11 sequentially passes through the bottle caps, the second clamping part 12 continues to be inclined and gets closer to the first clamping part 11. When the cross-hole H2 passes through all the bottle caps, push the second clamping part 12 horizontally, and the cross-hole becomes H1 to clamp the bottleneck of the beverage bottle, completing the clamping and packaging of 6 beverage bottles. At this time, it can be lifted and carried, or the handle part 112 can be bent to one side and buckled at the bottle cap on one side to ensure that no extra space is occupied during transportation or stacking. Refer to Figure 4B , when it is necessary to disassemble the clamping structure 10, lift the second clamping part 12 vertically upwards from the first groove 114 along the vertical arrow while pressing down the limiting part 113, and the clamping structure 10 can be changed from the first position to the second position. Incline the second clamping part 12 to sequentially disengage the cross-hole H1 from the bottle caps, and finally pull out upwards as a whole, and the clamping structure 10 and the bottle body can be easily separated.

[0064] Figure 5 The unfolded schematic diagram of the clamping structure 20 of Embodiment 2 of the present invention is shown. The clamping structure 20 includes a first clamping part 21 and a second clamping part 22. The first clamping part 21 includes a first flat plate 213 and a handle assembly 212. Among them, a plurality of first card holes 211 are located on the first flat plate 213, and the handle assembly 212 is movably connected to the first flat plate 213.

[0065] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the handle assembly 212 includes two symmetrically arranged handle parts 212-1 and 212-2, which are respectively connected to both sides of the first flat plate 213 through the first creases F1-1 and F1-2 provided at the roots of the handle parts 212-1 and 212-2. Both handle parts 212-1 and 212-2 include first through holes 214-1 and 214-2, a second crease F2-1 provided at the root of the first through hole 214-1, and a second crease F2-2 provided at the root of the first through hole 214-2. When the first clamping part 21 is in the first folded state, the second clamping part 22 is stacked inside the first clamping part 21. Refer to Figure 6 Figure (a) in [reference], the two handle parts 212-1 and 212-2 can be folded towards the center direction along the first creases F1-1 and F1-2 respectively, and then folded towards the outside along the second creases F2-1 and F2-2 respectively until the first through holes 214-1 and 214-2 overlap. At this time, the bottle body held can be lifted and carried through the handle assembly 212. Among them, the first through hole 214 is adapted to the shape of the human hand. Preferably, the width of the first through hole 214 is the width of four fingers, and the upper edge is designed in a wavy shape to increase the comfort of lifting.

[0066] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 5 , the handle assembly 212 further includes a second through hole 215-1 provided between the first crease F1-1 and the second crease F2-1, and a second through hole 215-2 provided between the first crease F1-2 and the second crease F2-2. When the first clamping part 21 is in the second folded state, the second clamping part 22 is stacked inside the first clamping part 21. Refer to Figure 6 Figure (b) in [reference], the handle assembly 212 can be folded towards the center direction along its respective first creases F1-1 and F1-2 until the handle parts 212-1 and 212-2 are stacked vertically, and the first through hole 214-1 and the second through hole 215-1, and the first through hole 214-2 and the second through hole 215-2 are sequentially buckled at the bottleneck or the bottle cap of the bottle body. Among them, the cross holes formed by the first through hole 214-1, the second through hole 215-1, the first card hole 211, and the second card hole 221 are adapted to the size of the bottleneck or the bottle cap; the cross holes formed by the first through hole 214-2, the second through hole 215-2, the first card hole 211, and the second card hole 221 are adapted to the size of the bottleneck or the bottle cap.

[0067] The difference between the clamping structure 20 of the second embodiment and the clamping structure 10 of the first embodiment is that: in the first embodiment, the second card hole 121 and the first card hole 111 are horizontally aligned, and the card holes are arranged in parallel, and are locked by the limiting member 113 after alignment; in the second embodiment, the second card hole 221 and the first card hole 211 are rotationally aligned, and the movement is restricted by the handle assembly 212 after alignment. Specifically, refer to Figure 5, there is a specific rotation angle between the six second card holes 221, and the corresponding card holes between the second card holes 221 and the first card holes 211 are spaced 180°.

[0068] Reference Figure 7B , the second clamping portion 22 and the first clamping portion 21 are stacked one above the other. In the second position, that is, when the second clamping portion 22 forms an angle of approximately 11.4 degrees relative to the first clamping portion 21, the first card holes 211 and the second card holes 221 form a cross hole with a larger size, as shown in Figure 7A Figure (b) therein. The size of this larger cross hole is adapted to the size of the bottle cap; when changing from the second position to the first position, the second clamping portion 22 rotates horizontally until its periphery aligns with the periphery of the first clamping portion 21. At this time, the first card holes 211 and the second card holes 221 are staggered to form a cross hole with a smaller size, as shown in Figure 7A Figure (a) therein. The size of this smaller cross hole is adapted to the size of the bottle neck.

[0069] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 5 , a groove is provided at the position of the second clamping portion 22 corresponding to the handle assembly 212 of the first clamping portion 21. When the handle assembly 212 is folded inward, the groove design can be adapted to the handle assembly, increasing the flatness of the connection part and the folding part.

[0070] When the material strength permits, the clamping structure 20 can be extended to 8 card holes, 9 card holes, 10 card holes, etc.

[0071] The clamping structure 20 of the present invention has been described above through Embodiment 2. In actual application, with reference to Figure 8A , first stack the second clamping portion 22 on the first clamping portion 21, rotate the second clamping portion 22 left and right until the second card holes 221 and the first card holes 211 form a cross hole adapted to the bottle cap, and then vertically pass through the bottle caps of 6 beverage bottles placed flat. Rotate the second clamping portion 22 left and right until its periphery aligns with the periphery of the first clamping portion 21, so that the reduced cross hole is clamped at the bottle neck of the beverage bottle, completing the clamping and packaging of 6 beverage bottles. At this time, it can be lifted and carried, or the handle assemblies 212 can be folded in sequence and buckled at the bottle neck or the bottle cap to ensure that no extra space is occupied during transportation or stacking. With reference to Figure 8B , when it is necessary to disassemble the clamping structure 20, turn the handle assembly 212 outward to release the restriction on the second clamping portion 22, then rotate the second clamping portion 22 left and right until the cross hole formed by the second card holes 221 and the first card holes 211 gradually becomes larger and is adapted to the size of the bottle cap, and finally vertically pull out the entire clamping structure 20 upward, and the clamping structure 20 can be easily separated from the bottle body.

[0072] Figure 9Fig. shows an unfolded schematic view of the clamping structure 30 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The clamping structure 30 includes a first clamping portion 31 and a second clamping portion 32. Among them, the first clamping portion 31 includes a first flat plate 313, a plurality of first card holes 311 are located on the first flat plate 313, and a first handle hole 312 is further provided in the center of the first flat plate 313; the second clamping portion 32 includes a second flat plate 323, a plurality of second card holes 321 are located on the second flat plate 323, and a second handle hole 322 corresponding to the first handle hole 312 is further provided in the center of the second flat plate 323. The first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 32 can rotate relative to each other to move between a first position and a second position. Preferably, the first handle hole 312 and the second handle hole 322 have the same size and shape, such as a circular hole adapted to one finger or a slot-shaped hole adapted to two fingers, so as to improve the comfort and uniform force when lifting the clamping structure 30. When the material strength permits, the clamping structure 30 can be extended to 6 card holes, 8 card holes, etc. Preferably, according to the arrangement of the card holes, the handle holes can also be increased and the positions adjusted, so that the clamping structure 30 is evenly stressed when lifting a beverage bottle.

[0073] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first clamping portion 31 further includes a plurality of first limiting members 314, and the second clamping portion 32 further includes a plurality of second limiting members 324 equal in number to the first limiting members 314. The first limiting members 314 and the second limiting members 324 can form a snap connection in a one-to-one correspondence to achieve locking after rotational alignment. The first limiting member 314 is designed in a shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom or wider in the middle and narrower at the top and bottom, such as an inverted trapezoid or an ellipse; the second limiting member 324 has the same size and shape as the first limiting member, or the second limiting member 324 is designed in a concave shape with a smaller opening. By bending the first limiting member 314 and the second limiting member 324 to one side, or folding the first limiting member 314 towards the second limiting member 324, a snap connection can be formed. This is only an exemplary description. As long as the first limiting member 314 and the second limiting member 324 can form a snap structure to form the locking function of the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 32, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0074] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first limiting member 314 is a tongue that can be folded towards the bottle body of the bottle, and the second limiting member 324 is a tongue or notch of the same size that can be folded towards the bottle body of the bottle, so that the first limiting member 314 and the second limiting member 324 can cooperate to form a snap connection.

[0075] The difference between the clamping structure 30 of the third embodiment and the clamping structure 10 of the first embodiment is that: in the first embodiment, the second clamping hole 121 and the first clamping hole 111 are horizontally aligned, the clamping holes are arranged in parallel, and locked by the limiter 113 after alignment; in the third embodiment, the second clamping hole 321 and the first clamping hole 311 are rotationally aligned, and after alignment, the movement is restricted by the buckle formed by the first limiter 314 and the second limiter 324. Specifically, refer to Figure 9 There is a specific rotation angle between the four second clamping holes 321, and the second clamping holes 321 and the corresponding clamping holes in the first clamping holes 311 are spaced 180° apart.

[0076] refer to Figure 10A , the second clamping portion 32 and the first clamping portion 31 are stacked up and down (or vice versa), when in the second position, refer to Figure 10B That is, when the second clamping portion 32 forms an angle of about 18 degrees with respect to the first clamping portion 31, the first clamping hole 311 and the second clamping hole 321 form a cross hole with a larger size. Figure 10A In the middle (b), the size of the larger cross hole is adapted to the size of the bottle cap; when switching from the second position to the first position, the second clamping portion 32 is horizontally rotated until its periphery is aligned with the periphery of the first clamping portion 31. At this time, the first clamping hole 311 and the second clamping hole 321 are staggered to form a smaller double arc cross hole, as shown in FIG. Figure 10A In the middle (a) figure, the size of the smaller cross hole is adapted to the bottleneck size.

[0077] The clamping structure 30 of the present invention is described above through the third embodiment. Figure 11A First, overlap the second clamping part 32 on the first clamping part 31, rotate the second clamping part 32 left and right until the second clamping hole 321 and the first clamping hole 311 form a cross hole that fits the bottle cap, then vertically pass through the bottle caps of the four flatly placed beverage bottles, rotate the second clamping part 32 left and right until its periphery is aligned with the first clamping part 31, so that the smaller cross hole is clamped at the bottleneck of the beverage bottle, press the first limiter 314 and the second limiter 324 downward, lock the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 32, and complete the clamping packaging of the four beverage bottles. At this time, you can lift and carry them through the handle hole. The first handle hole 312 overlaps with the second handle hole 322, and the increase in thickness can improve the comfort of the load-bearing fingers. Reference Figure 8B When the clamping structure 30 needs to be disassembled, lift the first limiting piece 314 and the second limiting piece 324 upward to unlock the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 32, then rotate the second clamping part 32 left and right until the cross hole formed by the second clamping hole 321 and the first clamping hole 311 gradually becomes larger and adapts to the size of the bottle cap, and finally pull the clamping structure 30 out vertically upward as a whole, so that the clamping structure 30 and the bottle body can be easily separated.

[0078] In summary, in the first embodiment, lateral alignment is used to achieve the conversion between the first position and the second position. In the second and third embodiments, rotational alignment is used to achieve the conversion between the first position and the second position, thus implementing the design scheme of the present invention, taking into account portability and ease of opening, and being convenient for storage and transportation.
