Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cardboard box structure technology, specifically a cardboard box structure and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the intensification of market competition, the research and development of environmentally friendly packaging materials has received more and more attention from society. In recent years, the packaging and transportation of large quantities of goods and commodities have gradually shifted from traditional wooden boxes and plastic boxes to lower-cost corrugated cardboard boxes, which are widely used due to their low cost, light weight and easy recyclability.

[0003] However, the packaging boxes commonly used in the market are simple cardboard boxes with no internal support or protection. During transportation, they are easily deformed by bumps and knocks, which can damage the contents. Furthermore, the internal space of a typical cardboard box cannot be adjusted to fit the size of the items. The larger space can cause items to bump into each other, resulting in surface damage. Also, it is not easy to seal and requires tape to secure it. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to: provide support and connection mechanisms to the cardboard box during use, preventing the edges from bending under pressure and affecting the safety of the contents; enable free assembly through a compartmentalization mechanism, allowing the position of the dividers to be adjusted according to the size of the items to create different sized compartments without the need for tape, accommodating items of different shapes and quantities, reducing internal shaking and transportation losses; and completely eliminate the need for tape through a top cover connection mechanism, reducing plastic usage, allowing for easy unpacking without tools, and preventing loosening during vibration, thus improving compressive strength.
