Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an insulated box, and more specifically, to an insulated box in which the adhesive tape used to secure the box body and the box lid to each other can be easily cut, and the cut adhesive tape can be removed from the insulated box. Background Technology

[0002] Recently, due to the large volume of express deliveries, insulated boxes are in widespread use. Generally, as described above, insulated boxes are made of synthetic resins such as polystyrene and include a box body (10) and a lid (20). When securing the box body and lid together, most cases involve placing the lid over the box body, as... Figure 1 The adhesive tape (T) is attached to the edge surface as shown.

[0003] Figure 2 A diagram illustrating a heat-insulating and cold-insulating box according to the prior art and a method for removing adhesive tape (T).

[0004] When removing the adhesive tape (T) from the insulated box, users often find it inconvenient because the portion of the adhesive tape (T) that can be cut is not suitable. One method of removing the adhesive tape (T) includes, for example, finding the end portion of the adhesive tape (T) and peeling it off, as shown in (a). However, such an end portion is not easy to find, nor is it easy to peel off the end portion. Another example includes, as shown in (b), inserting a cutting tool (C) such as a knife into the gap between the box body (10) and the lid (20) of the insulated box and cutting it open. However, in this case, it is not easy to insert the adhesive cutting tool (C) into the gap between the box body (10) and the lid (20), and the friction that occurs when cutting causes unpleasant noise or may cause a safety accident.

[0005] Furthermore, when using the removal method described above, the adhesive tape (T) cannot be completely removed from the insulation box, and a portion of the adhesive tape (T) remains on the outside of the insulation box. As mentioned above, since the adhesive tape (T) remaining on the outside of the insulation box is not easy to remove, the insulation box is difficult to reuse.

[0006] Therefore, a means to solve these problems is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Technical issues

[0008] The present invention is proposed to solve the above problems, and the object of the present invention is to provide an insulated box, wherein the adhesive tape used to fix the box body and the box lid to each other can be easily cut, and the cut adhesive tape can be removed from the insulated box.

[0009] Technical solution

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the insulated box according to the present invention includes a box body having a bottom panel and a side panel, and a storage space with one open side; and a box lid, which is attached to the box body to cover the storage space.

[0011] Wherein, at least one of the box body and the box lid includes a recessed portion of a predetermined depth in the inward direction at at least one position on the outer edge surface. When the box lid is placed on the box body and adhesive tape is adhered to the edge surfaces of the box lid and the box body to combine the box lid and the box body, the adhesive area with the adhesive tape and the recessed portion at least partially overlap each other, so that there is a space between the portion forming the recessed portion and the adhesive tape.

[0012] According to one embodiment, the recess includes a first recess formed on the edge surface of the box body and a second recess formed on the edge surface of the box lid.

[0013] According to one embodiment, the first recess extends further downward than the adhesive region.

[0014] According to one embodiment, the second recess extends upwards beyond the adhesive region.

[0015] According to one embodiment, the housing has an inwardly protruding portion on the inner side of the side panel, the protruding portion and the first recessed portion being located at the same position, and the side panel being disposed between them.

[0016] According to one embodiment, the second recess extends upward beyond the adhesive region.

[0017] According to one embodiment, the first recess opens in the upper direction of the box body, and the second recess opens in the lower direction of the box cover. The first recess and the second recess are located on the same line in the vertical direction and are continuous in the vertical direction.

[0018] According to one embodiment, the recess includes a plurality of recesses located on the symmetrical surface of the outer edge of the heat-insulating and cold-insulating box.

[0019] Beneficial effects

[0020] In the heat-insulating and cold-insulating box according to the present invention, at least one of the box body and the box lid includes a recessed portion of a predetermined depth in the inward direction at at least one location on the outer edge surface. Furthermore, the recessed portion and the adhesive area to which the adhesive tape is adhered at least partially overlap each other. Therefore, a space exists between the portion forming the recessed portion and the adhesive tape.

[0021] Therefore, user convenience is improved when cutting and removing the adhesive tape from the insulated box. In other words, since there is a space between the portion with the recess and the adhesive tape, the adhesive tape can be easily cut using this space. In particular, when cutting the adhesive tape using a cutting tool such as a knife, the adhesive tape located outside the space can be easily cut using the cutting tool.

[0022] Furthermore, the adhesive tape cut as described above can be easily removed from the insulated box. In other words, due to the recess, there is a gap between the end portion of the cut adhesive tape and the outside of the insulated box. Therefore, the user can grasp the end portion of the cut adhesive tape and easily peel it off from the outside of the insulated box.

[0023] As described above, since the adhesive tape can be easily peeled off from the outside of the insulated box, no adhesive tape residue remains on the box, and it can be cleanly removed. Therefore, the reuse efficiency of the insulated box can be further improved. Attached Figure Description

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a heat-insulating and cold-insulating box includes a box body having a bottom panel and a side panel, and a storage space with one open side; and a box lid, which is attached to the box body to cover the storage space, wherein at least one of the box body and the box lid includes a recessed portion of a predetermined depth in the inward direction at at least one position on the outer edge surface, when the box lid is placed on the box body and adhesive tape is attached to the edge surfaces of the box lid and the box body to attach the box lid and the box body, the adhesive area with the adhesive tape and the recessed portion at least partially overlap each other, so that there is a space between the portion forming the recessed portion and the adhesive tape.

[0034] In the following description, preferred embodiments of the invention will be presented with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are not intended to limit the invention.

[0035] Figure 3 A diagram is provided to illustrate a heat-insulating and cold-insulating box (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 and Figure 5 A diagram showing the housing (100) of a heat-insulating and cold-insulating box (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The figure shows the lid (200) of a heat-insulating and cold-insulating box (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 A diagram showing the adhesive area (S) on an insulated box according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9 and Figure 10 The figure shows an adhesive tape attached to a heat-insulating and cold-insulating box (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 11 The diagram illustrates the removal of adhesive tape from a heat-insulating and cold-insulating box (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a heat-insulating and cold-insulating box (1) includes a box body (100) and a box cover (200), wherein at least one of the box body (100) and the box cover (200) includes a recess (P) of a predetermined depth recessed in the inner direction at at least one position on the edge surface.

[0037] The box (100) can be configured as a storage space with one open side. The box (100) may include a bottom panel (110) and a side panel (120). The bottom panel (110) forms the bottom surface of the box (100), and the side panel (120) forms the edge surface of the box (100).

[0038] On the one hand, the figure shows that the housing (100) has a partition, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other words, the partition is not an essential element of the invention.

[0039] The lid (200) can be placed on the box body (100) to cover the storage space. The lid (200) may include a top panel (210) having a predetermined area. The outer peripheral edge of the top panel (210) forms a side surface.

[0040] The box body (100) and the lid (200) may include synthetic resins such as polystyrene foam. Therefore, the insulated box (1) consisting of the box body (100) and the lid (200) can have both heat preservation and cold preservation functions.

[0041] like Figure 9 As shown, the fixing between the box body (100) and the box lid (200) can be formed by adhesive tape (T). In other words, the box lid (200) covers the box body (100), and the adhesive tape (T) is attached to the side panel (120) of the box body (100) and the side of the box lid (200), thereby fixing the box body (100) and the box lid (200) to each other.

[0042] At this time, adhesive tape (T) is adhered to the upper portion of the edge surface of the housing (100) and the lower portion of the edge surface of the lid (200). The portion with the adhesive tape (T) adhered to can be referred to as the adhesive area (S). Figure 8 As shown, the adhesive area (S) is located on the upper part of the edge surface of the box body (100) and the lower part of the edge surface of the box cover (200). In addition, the adhesive area (S) is provided on the entire edge surface of the box body (100) and the box cover (200).

[0043] Here, the adhesive area (S) may not be a separate constituent element. In other words, the adhesive area (S) may simply be the area where adhesive tape (T) is adhered when the housing (100) and the lid (200) are fixed together using adhesive tape (T). In other words, the adhesive area (S) may be a part of the housing (100) and the lid (200), and the adhesive area (S) may not be a separate component, etc.

[0044] Generally, when using adhesive tape (T) to fix the lid (200) and body (100) of the heat-insulating and cold-insulating box (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention, the adhesive tape (T) is usually applied along the outer edge surface. Therefore, as Figure 8 As shown, an adhesive area (S) is generated on the edge surface of the heat preservation and cold preservation box (1).

[0045] At least one of the housing (100) and the lid (200) includes a recess (P) of a predetermined depth recessed in the inward direction at at least one location on the outer edge surface. In other words, at least one of the side panels (120) may include a recess (P) of a predetermined depth recessed in the inward direction.

[0046] The accompanying drawings show two recesses (P), but the invention is not limited thereto, and the number of recesses (P) can be one or any number. Furthermore, the shape of the recesses (P) is shown as quadrilateral, but it is not limited thereto and can have any shape.

[0047] The recess (P) and the adhesive area (S) to which the adhesive tape (T) is applied at least partially overlap each other. In other words, in order to secure the box body (100) and the box lid (200) to each other, when the adhesive tape (T) is applied to the heat-insulating and cold-insulating box (1), at least a portion of the recess (P) and the adhesive tape (T) can be positioned to overlap each other.

[0048] Therefore, as Figure 10 As shown, there is a space (W) between the portion where the recess (P) is formed and the adhesive tape.

[0049] Therefore, user convenience can be improved when the adhesive tape (T) is cut off and removed from the heat-insulating and cold-insulating box (1).

[0050] In other words, since there is a space (W) between the portion where the recess (P) is formed and the adhesive tape (T), the adhesive tape can be easily cut by using the space (W).

[0051] In particular, such as Figure 11 As shown in (a), when cutting adhesive tape (T) using a cutting tool (C) such as a knife, the adhesive tape (T) located outside the space (W) can be cut vertically using the cutting tool (C) such as a knife, as shown by arrow A.

[0052] Furthermore, the adhesive tape (T) cut as described above can be easily removed from the insulated box (1). In other words, due to the recessed portion (P), as Figure 11 As shown in (b), there is a gap between the end plate portion of the cut adhesive tape (T) and the outer surface of the insulation box (1). Therefore, the user can grasp the end plate portion of the cut adhesive tape (T) and easily peel the adhesive tape (T) from the outer surface of the insulation box (1), as shown by arrow B.

[0053] As described above, since the adhesive tape (T) can be easily peeled off from the outside of the insulation box (1), the adhesive tape (T) does not remain on the insulation box (1) and can be cleanly removed. Therefore, the reuse efficiency of the insulation box (1) can be further improved.

[0054] The following will describe a specific embodiment of the heat-insulating and cold-insulating box (1) of the present invention. Referring to the following... Figures 3 to 12 Describe it.

[0055] According to one embodiment, the recess (P) includes a first recess (130) formed on the edge surface of the housing (100) and a second recess (220) formed on the edge surface of the lid (200).

[0056] Therefore, by using the first recess (130) provided on the box body (100) or the second recess (220) provided on the box cover (200), the adhesive tape (T) stuck to the heat preservation box (1) can be easily removed from the heat preservation box (1).

[0057] At this time, according to one embodiment, the first recess (130) can be respectively provided on the two symmetrical surfaces of the housing (100). Therefore, as Figure 5 As shown, two first recesses (130) can be provided on each of the two symmetrical planes. Here, the two symmetrical planes can be, for example, left-right symmetrical planes or front-back symmetrical planes.

[0058] Furthermore, according to one embodiment, the second recess (220) can be respectively provided on both symmetrical surfaces of the lid (200). Therefore, as Figure 7 As shown, two second recesses (220) can be provided on the two symmetrical planes respectively.

[0059] As described above, the first recess (130) and the second recess (220) are respectively provided on the symmetrical planes of the box body (100) and the box cover (200), thus allowing for more effective removal of the adhesive tape. In other words, by providing two recesses (P) that can cut the adhesive tape (T) in opposite positions, two positions are provided for cutting the adhesive tape (T), thus allowing the adhesive tape (T) to be cut in half its full length and peeled off from the heat-insulating and cold-insulating box (1).

[0060] However, the invention is not limited thereto, and the recesses (P) can be any number of two or more, and their positions can also be arbitrary. Therefore, the cutting position and cutting length of the adhesive tape (T) can also vary depending on the embodiment.

[0061] When there are two recesses (P) and they are positioned opposite each other, the adhesive tape (T) can be easily removed while maintaining the insulation effect of the insulation box (1) and the fixing effect of the adhesive tape (T). The adhesive tape (T) can fix the box body (100) and the lid (200) together and seal the gap between them. However, the portion with the recesses (P) is not sealed by the adhesive tape (T), so the gap between the box body (100) and the lid (200) can be exposed. When there are too many recesses (P), the effect of the adhesive tape (T) in fixing the box body (100) and the lid (200) together and sealing the gap between them can be reduced. As described in the embodiment, when there are two recesses (P) and they are positioned opposite each other, the adhesive area of ​​the adhesive tape (T) as described above is sufficiently ensured. Therefore, the fixing and sealing effects between the box body (100) and the box lid (200) are sufficiently maintained. Thus, while maintaining the heat preservation and cold preservation effect of the heat preservation box (1), the adhesive tape (T) can be easily removed.

[0062] According to one embodiment, the first recess (130) extends further downward than the adhesive region (S).

[0063] Therefore, when cutting the adhesive tape (T) using a cutting tool such as a knife, the position of the first recess (130) can be easily determined. In addition, since the length of the first recess (130) is sufficient, it can provide ample space to cut the adhesive tape (T).

[0064] According to one embodiment, the second recess (220) extends upward further than the adhesive region (S).

[0065] Therefore, when cutting the adhesive tape (T) using a cutting tool such as a knife, the position of the second recess (220) can be easily determined. In addition, since the length of the second recess (220) is sufficient, it can provide ample space to cut the adhesive tape (T).

[0066] According to one embodiment, the first recess (130) opens in the upper direction of the housing (100), and the second recess (220) can open in the lower direction of the lid (200). Furthermore, when the lid (200) is attached to the housing (100), the first recess (130) and the second recess (220) can be located on the same line in the vertical direction. Therefore, the first recess (130) and the second recess (220) can form a continuous line in the vertical direction.

[0067] Therefore, when cutting the adhesive tape (T) using a cutting tool such as a knife, the adhesive tape (T) can be cut completely perpendicularly along the continuous first recess (130) and second recess (220) in the vertical direction. Thus, the adhesive tape (T) can be easily removed.

[0068] According to one embodiment, a grip (140) may be provided on the lower side of the box body (100). The grip (140) is a predetermined recess or protrusion that allows the user to easily grip and lift the insulated box (1) according to the invention.

[0069] Figure 12 A diagram showing the housing (100) of a heat-insulating and cold-insulating box (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] According to one embodiment, the housing (100) may include an inwardly projecting protrusion (150) on the inner side surface of the side panel (120). In this case, the protrusion (150) and the first recess (130) may be located at the same position, with the side panel (120) between them. In other words, the protrusion (150) and the first recess (130) are formed in the same portion, but the protrusion (150) may be formed on the inner side surface of the side panel (120), and the first recess (130) may be formed on the outer side surface of the side panel (120). Furthermore, corresponding to the first recess (130), two first recesses (130a) and (130) are respectively included on opposite side surfaces, and the protrusion (150) may also include two protrusions (150a) and (150b).

[0071] By including the protrusion (150), the thickness of the side panel (120) is not reduced due to the first recess (130), and the insulation and cold preservation functions of the heat preservation box (1) can be prevented from being reduced.

[0072] Although preferred embodiments have been shown and described above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications and implementations without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed in the claims. These modifications and implementations should not be understood solely from the technical concept or perspective of the present invention.
