Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of beer packaging, and particularly relates to a corrugated cardboard box for beer packaging. Background Technology
[0002] Beer bottles are generally packaged in rectangular corrugated cardboard boxes, which are convenient for transportation and space-saving for stacking. However, existing corrugated cardboard boxes for beer bottle packaging still have the following problems in use: Cardboard boxes containing beer bottles are not effective at preventing the bottles from shattering when dropped, and therefore cannot effectively protect the bottles.
[0003] In some beer-drinking settings, such as barbecue restaurants, customers usually buy beer by the case. Moving large quantities of cases of beer can be difficult and strenuous for female servers.
[0004] Beer, a staple drink in some places, lacks enjoyment during consumption. Designing a cardboard box that makes drinking more enjoyable would have a significant humanistic impact.
[0005] This invention designs a corrugated cardboard box for beer packaging to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art, this invention discloses a corrugated cardboard box for beer packaging, which is implemented using the following technical solution.
[0007] A corrugated cardboard box for beer packaging includes side panels, an adhesive section, strips A and B, a top plate, a bottom plate, positioning mechanisms A and B. The box is formed by folding corrugated cardboard parallel to the corrugations to create a cylindrical shape with four side panels. A high-strength adhesive section is formed in the middle of one side panel through bonding. Strip A extending upwards from the adhesive section, through its engagement with slot A on the opposite side plate, presses and fixes an elliptical top plate to the top of the beer bottles inside the box. Strip B extending downwards from the adhesive section, through its engagement with slot B on the opposite side plate, forms a reinforced bottom for the box. An elliptical bottom plate, installed below strip B and symmetrical to the top plate, supports the beer bottles inside the box. Two cross-shaped positioning mechanisms A are installed inside the box, vertically distributed and arrayed to position nine beer bottles within the box. Positioning mechanisms A have structures that increase the strength of the two side plates on either side of the adhesive section and structures that, when the four corners of the box are impacted, cause the beer bottles at the four corners to move towards the middle beer bottle along the diagonal direction of the side edges of the box.
[0008] The inner walls of the two side panels adjacent to the adhesive part are each equipped with a positioning mechanism B, which positions two beer bottles at corresponding corners of the box into the corresponding corners of the positioning mechanism A and cooperates with the beer bottles in the middle of the corresponding side. The positioning mechanism B has a structure that buffers and protects the two beer bottles at the corresponding corners when the corresponding corners of the box are impacted. The top plate has two slots D for inserting drive bars so that the beer bottles in the middle of the two positioning mechanisms B move in opposite directions.
[0009] As a further improvement to this technology, the base plate has two symmetrical plugs on both sides, and the two plugs correspond one-to-one with the two slots C on the side plate where the adhesive part is located and the side plate where slot B is located.
[0010] As a further improvement to this technology, the corrugated cardboard has a three-layer structure.
[0011] As a further improvement to this technology, the inner surface portion of the outer corrugated cardboard of the adhesive part or strip A or strip B is removed, the outer surface portion of the inner corrugated cardboard of the adhesive part or strip A or strip B is removed, the remaining inner surface portion of the outer corrugated cardboard is bonded to the inner surface portion of the inner corrugated cardboard, the remaining outer surface portion of the inner corrugated cardboard is bonded to the outer surface portion of the outer corrugated cardboard, and the exposed corrugated portion of the outer corrugated cardboard is interlocked and bonded to the exposed corrugated portion of the inner corrugated cardboard.
[0012] As a further improvement to this technology, the upper ends of the two side plates where the two positioning mechanisms B are located are provided with receiving grooves A for inserting the top plate, and the lower ends of the two side plates where the two positioning mechanisms B are located are provided with receiving grooves B for inserting the bottom plate.
[0013] As a further improvement to this technology, the positioning mechanism A is a cross plate with four concave corners that correspond one-to-one with four beer bottles at the four corners of the box. The center of the cross plate and the four branches are provided with insertion holes for inserting beer bottles.
[0014] As a further improvement to this technology, each of the four concave corners of the cross plate has a movable groove that allows beer bottles at the four corners of the box to move inward along the diagonal direction of the side edge of the box under the action of external force.
[0015] As a further improvement to this technology, the two sides of the cross plate have two rolled-up side pads that correspond one-to-one with the positioning mechanism B.
[0016] As a further improvement to this technology, each of the two cross plates containing the side pads has two separation grooves that make them easy to break under external force.
[0017] As a further improvement of this technology, the positioning mechanism B is a pad that is bonded between the corresponding side pad and the side plate. The two ends of the pad are respectively rolled up to form a triangular cylindrical corner pad that matches the corresponding corner beer bottle. A pressure plate is installed inside the corner pad to radially press the corresponding corner beer bottle. One end of the pressure plate is bonded to the right-angle corner of the corner pad, and the other end contacts and abuts against the arc wall of the corner pad.
[0018] Compared to traditional beer packaging cartons, this invention inserts two drive bars into slots D on the top plate, causing the beer bottles on the corresponding sides of the two positioning mechanisms B to move outwards. This causes the pads of the two positioning mechanisms B to protrude outwards, retracting the four corners of the carton. Simultaneously, the four beer bottles at the four corners of the carton move diagonally towards each other along the side edges of the carton. This allows the four side edges of the carton to enter the area of the top and bottom plates, forming an elliptical shape when viewed from above. This allows the carton, filled with nine beer bottles, to roll after tipping over, supported by the top and bottom plates, saving effort and improving the efficiency of moving the entire carton. Furthermore, the rolling motion causes the beer inside the bottles to shake, resulting in the beer spraying outwards when the bottles are opened, adding a touch of fun to drinking beer at parties.
[0019] In this invention, if the side edge of the box interacts with the ground after falling from a height, the side edge interacting with the ground will press the beer bottle at the corresponding side edge into the corresponding movable groove on the two positioning mechanisms A through the corresponding positioning mechanism B, forming an effective buffer against the impact on the beer bottle. The beer bottle entering the movable groove is squeezed outward by the positioning mechanism A and the side pad on the positioning mechanism A pulls the pad plate of the positioning mechanism B from the middle, thus effectively buffering the impact on the beer bottle at the middle of the side. The top plate B in the corner pads at both ends of the positioning mechanism B swings to the side, so that the corner pad of the positioning mechanism B forms a second layer of buffer against the impact on the beer bottle at the side edge, thereby achieving protection of the beer bottle in the box and having a certain function of preventing the beer bottle from breaking.
[0020] Furthermore, this invention can be used for packaging other items such as condiment bottles, thus having a wide range of applications and low cost for mass production. This invention has a simple structure and good performance. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The accompanying drawings are schematic diagrams illustrating embodiments of the present invention to facilitate understanding of the structural operating principle. Specific product structures and dimensions can be determined based on the usage environment and conventional technologies.
[0031] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 8, it includes a side plate 1, an adhesive part 4, strips A6 and B7, a top plate 11, a bottom plate 12, a positioning mechanism A23, and a positioning mechanism B19, wherein... Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 7, a cylindrical box with four side panels 1 is formed by folding corrugated cardboard 5 along a direction parallel to the corrugations 5 and bonding it together to form a high-strength adhesive part 4 in the middle of one side panel 1; the upward-extending strip A6 of the adhesive part 4, through its cooperation with the slot A8 on the opposite side panel 1, presses and fixes the elliptical top plate 11 against the top of the beer bottle 24 inside the box; the downward-extending strip B7 of the adhesive part 4, through its cooperation with the slot B9 on the opposite side panel 1, forms a reinforced bottom of the box; the elliptical bottom plate 12, installed below the strip B7 and symmetrical to the top plate 11, provides support for the beer bottle 24 inside the box; as shown in Figure 7. Figure 5 , 7 As shown in Figure 8, two cross-shaped positioning mechanisms A23 are installed inside the box to position the nine beer bottles 24 inside the box in an array and are vertically distributed. The positioning mechanism A23 has a structure to increase the strength of the two side plates 1 on both sides of the adhesive part 4 and a structure that causes the beer bottles 24 at the four corners to move towards the middle beer bottle 24 along the diagonal direction of the side edge of the box when the four corners of the box are hit.
[0032] like Figure 6 , 8 As shown, the inner walls of the two side plates 1 adjacent to the adhesive part 4 are each equipped with a positioning mechanism B19, which positions the two beer bottles 24 at the corresponding two corners of the box into the corresponding corners of the positioning mechanism A23 and cooperates with the beer bottle 24 in the middle of the corresponding side. The positioning mechanism B19 has a structure that provides buffer protection for the two beer bottles 24 at the corresponding two corners when the corresponding two corners of the box are impacted; Figure 4 , 7 As shown in Figure 8, the top plate 11 has two slots D25 for inserting the drive bar 26 so that the beer bottles 24 on both sides of the positioning mechanism B19 move in opposite directions.
[0033] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the base plate 12 has two symmetrical plugs 13 on both sides, and the two plugs 13 correspond to and cooperate with the two slots C10 on the side plate 1 where the adhesive part 4 is located and the side plate 1 where the slot B9 is located.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the corrugated cardboard has a three-layer structure.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner surface portion of the outer corrugated cardboard 5 of the adhesive part 4, strip A6, or strip B7 is removed, the outer surface portion of the inner corrugated cardboard 5 of the adhesive part 4, strip A6, or strip B7 is removed, the remaining inner surface portion of the outer corrugated cardboard 5 is bonded to the inner surface portion of the inner corrugated cardboard 5, the remaining outer surface portion of the inner corrugated cardboard 5 is bonded to the outer surface portion of the outer corrugated cardboard 5, and the exposed corrugated portion of the outer corrugated cardboard 5 is interlocked and bonded to the exposed corrugated portion of the inner corrugated cardboard 5.
[0036] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the upper ends of the two side plates 1 where the two positioning mechanisms B19 are located are provided with receiving grooves A2 for inserting the top plate 11, and the lower ends of the two side plates 1 where the two positioning mechanisms B19 are located are provided with receiving grooves B3 for inserting the bottom plate 12.
[0037] like Figure 5 , 7 As shown, the positioning mechanism A23 is a cross plate 14 with four concave corners that correspond one-to-one with four beer bottles 24 at the four corners of the box. The center and four branches of the cross plate 14 are provided with insertion holes 15 for inserting beer bottles 24.
[0038] like Figure 5 , 7As shown, each of the four concave corners of the cross plate 14 has a movable groove 17 that allows the beer bottles 24 at the four corners of the box to move inward along the diagonal direction of the side edge of the box under the action of external force.
[0039] like Figure 5 , 7 As shown, the two sides of the cross plate 14 have two rolled-up side pads 16 that correspond one-to-one with the positioning mechanism B19.
[0040] like Figure 5 , 8 As shown, the two sides of the cross plate 14 where the side pad 16 is located each have two separation grooves 18 that are easy to break under external force.
[0041] like Figure 6 , 8 As shown, the positioning mechanism B19 is a pad 20 bonded between the corresponding side pad 16 and the side plate 1. The two ends of the pad 20 are respectively rolled up to form a triangular cylindrical corner pad 21 that matches the corresponding corner beer bottle 24. A pressure plate 22 is installed inside the corner pad 21 to radially press the corresponding corner beer bottle 24. One end of the pressure plate 22 is bonded to the right angle corner of the corner pad 21, and the other end contacts and abuts against the arc wall of the corner pad 21.
[0042] The packaging process for beer bottle 24 according to this invention is as follows: Insert the end of the strip B7 around the bottom of the box and into the slot B9 on the side plate 1. Insert the bottom plate 12 into the receiving groove B3 at the bottom of the box and fix the two plugs 13 on the bottom plate 12 into the slots C10 on the two side plates 1 respectively. Then, insert the two positioning mechanisms A23 vertically from the top of the box in sequence, so that the two side pads 16 of the lower positioning mechanism A23 abut against the bottom plate 12 and the corresponding two side plates 1, and at the same time, make the two side pads 16 of the upper positioning mechanism A23 abut against the two branches where the side pads 16 of the lower positioning mechanism A23 are located, so that the insertion holes 15 on the two positioning mechanisms A23 are aligned one by one.
[0043] Next, five beer bottles 24 are inserted into the five holes 15 on the positioning mechanism A23 and supported by the base plate 12. Then, the remaining four beer bottles 24 are inserted into the spaces formed by the four concave corners of the positioning mechanism A23 and the side plate 1 of the box. The four beer bottles 24 abut against the corresponding two sides of the positioning mechanism A23 and the arc wall of the corresponding corner pad 21 of the corresponding positioning mechanism B19, thereby completing the positioning and boxing of nine beer bottles 24.
[0044] Then, insert the top plate 11 into the receiving groove A2 at the top of the box and abut it against the top of the beer bottle 24. Then, insert the end of the strip A6 around the top plate 11 into the slot A8 on the side plate 1 of the box to fix the strip A6 to the top plate 11 at the top of the box. At this point, the packing of the beer bottle 24 into the box is completed.
[0045] When a case of beer needs to be moved by rolling it on the ground, the two drive bars 26 are first inserted into the two slots D25 on the top plate 11. The two drive bars 26 are inserted between the beer bottles 24 in the middle of the corresponding side plate 1 and the beer bottles 24 in the middle of the cross plate 14, respectively, and cut off and destroy the corresponding branch of the cross plate 14. At the same time, the beer bottles 24 in the middle of the two side plates 1 move outward under the pressure of the corresponding drive bars 26 and are squeezed by the pads 20 of the corresponding side positioning mechanism B19. The pressure is applied to the corresponding side plate 1 to push it outward. The deformed pad 20 pulls the corner pads 21 on both sides to move and causes the corner pads 21 to deform under the friction of the beer bottle 24. The deformed corner pads 21 drive the corresponding corner of the box into the range of the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12. The pressure plate 22 inside the corner pad 21 swings to the side under the action of the deformed corner pad 21 and loses the pressure of the corresponding beer bottle 24. At the same time, the corner pad 21 squeezes the beer bottle 24 in the corresponding corner into the corresponding movable groove 17.
[0046] The square-shaped container eventually forms an elliptical cylinder consistent with the top plate 11 and bottom plate 12. Then, the container is tilted to bring the internal beer bottles 24 to a horizontal tilt. Next, the container is pushed, causing it to roll under the support of the top and bottom plates 11 and 12. During this rolling process, the beer inside the bottles 24 continuously tumbles, inflating them. When a guest opens the bottle, the beer sprays out, adding to the enjoyment of drinking at a party.
[0047] If the entire case of beer is dropped, the four edges of the case will contact the ground. The corner pads 21 of the two positioning mechanisms B19 will compress and deform the corresponding corner beer bottles 24. The corner beer bottles 24 will move into the corresponding movable slots 17. At the same time, the beer bottles 24 in the middle of the side plate 1 will move outward to a certain extent due to the compression of the corner beer bottles 24 by the positioning mechanism A23. The movement of the bottles provides a certain degree of cushioning protection for the internal beer bottles 24 after the case falls to the ground, and has a certain anti-breakage function.
[0048] In addition, after the strips A6 and B7 extending from the adhesive part 4 on the box body are inserted into the slots A8 and B9 respectively to complete the encapsulation of the box body, the two corrugated parts 5 inside the strips A6 and B7 interlock and bond with each other, and the length direction of the corrugated 5 is perpendicular to the length direction of the corrugated 5 in the side plate 1 of the box body, thereby increasing the deformation resistance of the box body.
[0049] In summary, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By inserting two drive bars 26 into the slots D25 on the top plate 11, the beer bottles 24 in the corresponding middle of the two positioning mechanisms B19 move outward, causing the pads 20 of the two positioning mechanisms B19 to protrude outward, thus retracting the four corners of the box. Simultaneously, the four beer bottles 24 at the four corners of the box move diagonally towards each other along the side edges of the box, allowing the four side edges of the box to enter the range of the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12, forming an elliptical shape when viewed from above. This allows the box, filled with nine beer bottles 24, to roll after tipping over, supported by the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 12, saving energy and improving the efficiency of moving the entire case of beer. Furthermore, the rolling movement of the box causes the beer inside the bottles 24 to shake, resulting in the beer spraying outward after the bottles 24 open, adding a certain enjoyment to drinking beer at parties. Meanwhile, the rolling mechanism causes the beer in the beer bottle 24 inside to shake, resulting in the beer spraying outwards after the beer bottle 24 is opened, adding some fun to drinking beer at parties.
[0050] In this invention, if the side edge of the box interacts with the ground after falling from a height, the side edge interacting with the ground will press the beer bottle 24 at the corresponding side edge into the corresponding movable groove 17 on the two positioning mechanisms A23 through the corresponding positioning mechanism B19, forming an effective buffer against the impact on the beer bottle 24. The beer bottle 24 entering the movable groove 17 is squeezed outward by the positioning mechanism A23 and the side pad 16 on the positioning mechanism A23 pulls the pad plate 20 of the positioning mechanism B19 from the middle, thus effectively buffering the impact on the beer bottle 24 at the middle of the side. The top plate 11B in the corner pads 21 at both ends of the positioning mechanism B19 swings to the side, so that the corner pads 21 of the positioning mechanism B19 form a second layer of buffer against the impact on the beer bottle 24 at the side edge, thereby achieving protection for the beer bottle 24 inside the box and having a certain function of preventing the beer bottle 24 from breaking.
[0051] In addition, the present invention can be used for packaging other items such as condiment bottles, and has a wide range of applications and low cost for mass production.
