Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cigarette packaging technology, specifically relating to a cigarette pack packaging box with an automatic lifting mechanism for opening and closing cigarette packs. Background Technology

[0002] With rapid economic development and the improvement of people's living standards, product packaging has been widely used in modern industries. Packaging products with boxes not only facilitates transportation and carrying, but also beautifies and promotes the products, reflects their value, and enhances their competitiveness in the market.

[0003] To enhance their market competitiveness, many companies are developing new products using higher-end, irregularly shaped cartons. However, traditional irregularly shaped cartons often require additional components such as pull tabs, straps, and fingernail-shaped openings to handle the cigarettes. This results in a monotonous and repetitive design. Therefore, improving the consumer experience with irregularly shaped cartons and effectively reducing the difficulty of equipment modification for manufacturing companies has become a problem that cigarette packaging designers need to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to improve the consumer experience of irregularly shaped cigarette packs, effectively reduce the difficulty of equipment modification for manufacturing enterprises, and provide a convenient and novel cigarette pack packaging box with automatic lifting mechanism.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solutions.

[0006] A cigarette pack packaging box with an automatic lifting mechanism for opening and closing, comprising an outer shell 1, an inner box 4, and a movable plate assembly 2;

[0007] The outer shell 1 includes a front baffle 14, an upper baffle 13, a rear baffle 12, and a lower baffle 11 connected in sequence. Adjacent baffles are connected by crease lines and folded along the crease lines. The front baffle 14, upper baffle 13, rear baffle 12, and lower baffle 11 form a hollow cuboid. The outer shell 1 surrounds the outside of the inner box 4 to form the four sides of the cigarette pack box.

[0008] The inner box 4 is disposed on the lower baffle 11 of the outer shell 1. The inner box 4 has an opening at the top and a first rectangular opening 41 at the bottom that is adapted to the shape and size of the cigarette pack.

[0009] The movable plate assembly 2 is located at the first rectangular opening 41, which allows the cigarette pack to be raised and lowered relative to the inner box 4. The movable plate assembly 2 includes a panel 21, a first movable support base plate 22, and a second movable support base plate 23. One end of the first movable support base plate 22 extends out of the first rectangular opening 41 and is fixed to the rear baffle 12, and the other end is fixed to the rear end of the panel 21. One end of the second movable support base plate 23 is fixed to the lower baffle 11, and the other end is fixed to the front end of the panel 21.

[0010] When the cigarette pack box is opened, the first movable support base plate 22 and the second movable support base plate 23 support the panel 21 to rise upwards; when the cigarette pack box is closed, the panel 21 is attached to the lower baffle 11.

[0011] The first movable support base plate 22 and the second movable support base plate 23 are used to support the panel 21.

[0012] Furthermore, the cigarette pack box also includes a connecting plate 3, which includes a first connecting plate 31, a second connecting plate 32, and a third connecting plate 33 connected in sequence. The first connecting plate 31 is fitted to the inner side wall of the front baffle 14, the third connecting plate 33 is fitted to the rear side panel of the inner box 4, and the size of the second connecting plate 32 is adapted to the size of the upper baffle 13.

[0013] Furthermore, the rear side panel of the inner box 4 is provided with a second rectangular opening 42 that communicates with the first rectangular opening 41, and the third connecting plate 33 is provided with a third rectangular opening 34 that matches the size of the second rectangular opening 42, with the second rectangular opening 42 being opposite to the third rectangular opening 34.

[0014] Furthermore, both the first movable support base plate 22 and the second movable support base plate 23 include a fixed plate, a support section, and a support platform;

[0015] The fixing plate of the first movable support base plate 22 is fixed on the rear baffle 12, the support platform of the first movable support base plate 22 is fixed on the rear end of the panel 21, the support platform of the second movable support base plate 23 is fixed on the front end of the panel 21, and the fixing plate of the second movable support base plate 23 is fixed on the lower baffle 11.

[0016] When the cigarette pack box is opened, both the first movable support base plate 22 and the second movable support base plate 23 are stepped. The fixing plate and support platform of the first movable support base plate 22 are perpendicular to the support section of the first movable support base plate 22. The support section of the first movable support base plate 22 is located at the second rectangular opening and is perpendicular to the crease line between the rear baffle 12 and the lower baffle 11. The fixing plate and support platform of the second movable support base plate 23 are perpendicular to the support section of the second movable support base plate 23. The support section of the second movable support base plate 23 is perpendicular to the lower baffle 11.

[0017] When the cigarette pack box is closed, the support section and support platform of the first movable support base plate 22 and the support section and support platform of the second movable support base plate 23 are all attached to the lower baffle 11.

[0018] Furthermore, the shape and size of the panel 21 are adapted to the shape and size of the cigarette pack.

[0019] Furthermore, a single layer of cigarette packs is tightly arranged inside the inner box 4.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. This invention first designs an irregularly shaped carton box that enables automated cigarette pack production. Based on the specifications of small cigarette packs, a movable support base plate is pasted in the middle of the outer shell. When the cigarette carton box is opened, the cigarette pack in the middle of the inner box automatically rises through the principle of movable linkage. To solve the problems of fixing the height of the cigarette pack and the angle of the upper baffle on the outer shell, a connecting plate is used to fix the inner box and the outer shell, perfectly solving the problems of fixing the angle of the upper baffle on the outer shell and the height of the cigarette pack. At the same time, the connecting plate is used to cover the movable support base plate, which has an aesthetic effect.

[0022] 2. This invention provides a movable plate assembly in the cigarette pack packaging box. During the process of opening the box and taking out the cigarettes, the first movable support base plate and the second movable support base plate support the panel, thereby allowing a cigarette pack in the inner box located on the panel to rise automatically, making it convenient to take out the cigarettes. It is convenient to use and has a novel opening method.

[0023] 3. The present invention provides a cigarette pack packaging box with automatic lifting and lowering mechanism for opening the lid. The small cigarette packs are neatly arranged in the inner box. When cigarettes need to be taken out, the outer shell can be opened directly to take out the cigarette packs in the inner box without damaging the structure of the cigarette pack packaging box. This can effectively avoid the traditional method of taking out one pack at a time from one end of the cigarette box, which is very convenient.

[0024] 4. This invention uses a movable support base plate to support the lifting and lowering of the panel. The concealed movable support base plate allows the cigarette pack in the middle of the inner box to automatically rise when the outer shell is opened and automatically lower when the outer shell is closed. The lifting height only requires adjusting the size of the movable support base plate according to the cigarette pack's specifications. This allows for convenient removal of the cigarette pack simply by opening the outer shell, eliminating the need for other auxiliary means such as pull straps or pull strips.

[0025] 5. The present invention has a simple structure, a novel appearance, and can improve the consumer experience. Compared with traditional irregular-shaped boxes, the cigarette taking steps are reduced by one due to the design of this box, which also reduces the cost of equipment modification for cigarette manufacturing enterprises.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, the accompanying drawings and embodiments are not intended to limit the technical solutions of the present invention. Any modifications made based on the teachings of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0036] like Figure 1-7 A cigarette pack packaging box with automatic lifting and lowering mechanism includes an outer shell 1, an inner box 4 disposed inside the outer shell 1, a connecting plate 3, and a movable plate assembly 2.

[0037] The outer shell 1 includes a front baffle 14, an upper baffle 13, a rear baffle 12, and a lower baffle 11 connected in sequence. Adjacent baffles are connected by crease lines and folded along the crease lines. The front baffle 14, upper baffle 13, rear baffle 12, and lower baffle 11 form a hollow cuboid. Each baffle surrounds the outside of the inner box 4 to form the four sides of the cigarette pack box.

[0038] The inner box 4 can hold a number of cigarette packs 5, which are arranged in a single layer.

[0039] The inner box 4 is disposed on the lower baffle 11 of the outer shell 1. The top of the inner box 4 is provided with an opening, and the cigarette pack 5 can be taken out from the opening of the inner box 4. The bottom of the inner box 4 is provided with a first rectangular opening 41 that is adapted to the shape and size of the cigarette pack 5.

[0040] The rear panel of the inner box 4 has a second rectangular opening 42 that communicates with the first rectangular opening 41. (See also...) Figure 4 The first rectangular opening 41 and the second rectangular opening 42 have the same width, and together they form an L-shaped opening on the inner box 4. The third connecting plate 33 has a third rectangular opening 34 that matches the size of the second rectangular opening 42, and the second rectangular opening 42 is positioned opposite the third rectangular opening 34.

[0041] The connecting plate 3 connects the outer shell 1 and the inner box 4. The connecting plate 3 includes a first connecting plate 31, a second connecting plate 32 and a third connecting plate 33 connected in sequence. The first connecting plate 31 is fitted to the inner side wall of the front baffle 14. The third connecting plate 33 is fitted to the inner or outer side wall of the rear side plate of the inner box 4. The size of the second connecting plate 32 is adapted to the size of the upper baffle 13.

[0042] A connecting plate 3 is installed between the outer shell 1 and the inner box 4 to fix the flipping angle of the upper baffle 13 and control the height of the cigarette pack 5. This ensures that the upper baffle 13 can flip within the range of 0-180 degrees.

[0043] The movable plate assembly 2 is located at the first rectangular opening 41 and the second rectangular opening 42, which allows the cigarette pack 5 to be raised and lowered relative to the inner box 4.

[0044] The movable plate assembly 2 includes a panel 21, a first movable support base plate 22, and a second movable support base plate 23. Both the first movable support base plate 22 and the second movable support base plate 23 include a fixed plate, a support section, and a support platform.

[0045] The shape and size of the panel 21 are adapted to the shape and size of the cigarette pack 5; the fixing plate of the first movable support base plate 22 is attached to and fixed on the rear baffle 12, the support platform of the first movable support base plate 22 is attached to and fixed on the rear end of the lower surface of the panel 21, the support platform of the second movable support base plate 23 is attached to and fixed on the front end of the lower surface of the panel 21, and the fixing plate of the second movable support base plate 23 is attached to and fixed on the lower baffle 11.

[0046] When in use, the cigarette pack box is opened, the rear baffle 12 of the outer shell 1 drives the first movable support base plate 22 to move, the first movable support base plate 22 drives the panel 21 to move, and then the first movable support base plate 22 and the second movable support base plate 23 support the panel 21 to rise, thereby raising the cigarette pack 5 on the panel 21.

[0047] In this configuration, the rear baffle 12 flips to be on the same horizontal plane as the lower baffle 11. Both the first movable support base plate 22 and the second movable support base plate 23 are stepped. The fixing plate and support platform of the first movable support base plate 22 are perpendicular to its support section, which is located at the second rectangular opening 42 and perpendicular to the crease line between the rear baffle 12 and the lower baffle 11. Similarly, the fixing plate and support platform of the second movable support base plate 23 are perpendicular to its support section, which is also perpendicular to the lower baffle 11. At this time, the first and second movable support base plates 22 and 23 support the panel 21, causing it to rise upwards. The cigarette pack 5 on the panel 21 then rises upwards, allowing it to be easily removed from the inner box 4.

[0048] When the cigarette pack box is closed, the second connecting plate 32 covers the opening of the inner box 4; the panel 21 is attached to the lower baffle 11, and the support section and support platform of the first movable support base plate 22 and the support section and support platform of the second movable support base plate 23 are all attached to the lower baffle 11; the front baffle 14 is magnetically attached to the front side plate of the inner box 4 to maintain the integrity and sealing of the cigarette pack box.

[0049] This invention utilizes the principle of movable linkage. When the upper baffle 13 is flipped open, the rear baffle 12 drives the first movable support base plate 22 and the second movable support base plate 23 to stand up in a stepped shape. Then, the first movable support base plate 22 and the second movable support base plate 23 support the panel 21 to rise upward, thereby raising the cigarette pack 5 on the panel 21. Thus, one cigarette pack 5 is raised from the single-layer arrangement of cigarette packs, making it easy to take out the cigarette pack 5 from the inner box 4.

[0050] The present invention uses the movable plate assembly 2 to raise and lower the cigarette pack 5 in the inner box 4 relative to the inner box. During the process of opening the box to take out cigarettes, the cigarette pack in the inner box will automatically rise and fall, which is convenient to use.
