[0001] This invention relates to the field of packaging technology, and in particular to a multi-purpose packaging that combines the functions of item storage and pet supplies. Specifically, it relates to a packaging box that can be transformed into a cat scratching post, suitable for product packaging and subsequent use as a cat scratching post for pets. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, packaging boxes are commonly used tools for product transportation, storage, and display. Their main functions are to protect the contents, facilitate carrying, and enhance the product's aesthetics. Currently, most packaging boxes on the market are single-use products, typically discarded after fulfilling their packaging purpose, resulting in resource waste and contradicting environmental protection principles.

[0003] Meanwhile, with the increasing popularity of pet ownership, the demand for cat scratching posts, as essential items to satisfy cats' natural scratching instincts and protect furniture, is growing daily. Traditional cat scratching posts are mostly standalone products, requiring separate design, production, and sales. After purchasing the product, consumers not only need to dispose of the waste packaging boxes but also need to buy the scratching post separately. This not only increases consumer costs but also leads to a separation of resource consumption between packaging materials and pet supplies, which does not conform to the trend of efficient resource utilization. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide a multi-purpose packaging box that combines the functions of item storage and pet supplies.

[0028] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the invention can be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the invention with unnecessary detail.

[0029] In the embodiments of this invention, terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish related technical features and do not indicate a sequential order.

[0030] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0031] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention discloses a packaging box 100 that can be transformed into a cat scratching post. It can not only realize the product packaging function, but also transform into a cat scratching post for pets after the packaging function is completed, effectively improving resource utilization.

[0032] The packaging box 100 includes a packaging box body 110, and the packaging box body 110 is generally triangular (e.g., ...). Figure 1-3 As shown in the diagram, it is specifically composed of a trapezoidal base 113, a first lid 111, and a second lid 112. Wherein:

[0033] The trapezoidal base 113 serves as the basic support structure for the packaging box 100. It is an isosceles trapezoid with two opposing vertices (the two angles closest to the upper base) and two bases (the two angles closest to the lower base). The trapezoidal base 113 can be made of cardboard, corrugated paper, or composite paper, providing a certain level of structural strength.

[0034] Both the first lid 111 and the second lid 112 are triangular structures (as shown in the image). Figure 4As shown), and symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the trapezoidal base 113. One side of the first lid 111 can be folded and connected to one apex of the trapezoidal base 113 by a folding structure (such as an embossing line or a flexible connecting layer); one side of the second lid 112 can be folded and connected to the other apex of the trapezoidal base 113 by the same folding structure, so that the first lid 111 and the second lid 112 can be flipped open and closed relative to the base 113.

[0035] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the first lid 111 has a first receiving cavity with triangular sides, and the second lid 112 has a second receiving cavity with triangular sides. When the first lid 111 and the second lid 112 are folded inward and connected, the two receiving cavities are joined to form a complete receiving space for placing items to be packaged (such as pet toys, snacks, or other small items). At this time, the lower edge of the trapezoidal base 113 serves as the bottom edge of the packaging box 100, and the hypotenuses of the first lid 111 and the second lid 112 are aligned with the waist edge of the trapezoidal base 113. The three together form a complete triangular packaging box body 110 (such as...). Figure 1-3 (As shown), the item is sealed inside.

[0036] To achieve a stable connection between the first lid 111 and the second lid 112, their free ends (the side away from the connection with the base 113) are provided with a matching connection structure. The connection structure is preferably a snap-fit ​​structure or a plug-in structure: for example, the free end of the first lid 111 has a protruding snap block, and the corresponding position of the second lid 112 has a matching slot (snap-fit ​​structure); or the first lid 111 has a tongue, and the second lid 112 has a slot (plug-in structure) that matches the tongue, ensuring that the lids are not easily loosened in the packaged state.

[0037] The core design feature of the packaging box 100 lies in its ability to transform into a cat scratching post, a function achieved through the cat scratching layer 120. For example... Figure 1-6 As shown, the cat claw layer 120 is a structural layer with a rough surface, and the material is selected to be a corrugated paper layer or sisal layer suitable for cats to sharpen their claws (which has good wear resistance and palatability).

[0038] The cat paw layer 120 is disposed on at least one side (preferably the outer surface) of the first lid 111 and the second lid 112.

[0039] Furthermore, both the first lid 111 and the second lid 112 have a cat claw layer 120 on their sides, and the folding connection between them and the trapezoidal base 113 is also achieved through the cat claw layer 120—that is, the two waist edges (sloping surfaces) of the trapezoidal base 113 and the corresponding sides of the first lid 111 and the second lid 112 are covered with the cat claw layer 120. When folding, the cat claw layer 120 serves as a connecting medium, ensuring both folding flexibility and increasing the effective usable area of ​​the scratching board (e.g., Figure 6 (As shown).

[0040] To improve the stability of the items during packaging, the trapezoidal base 113 is also provided with a first positioning groove and a second positioning groove (e.g., Figure 5-6 (As shown). The first positioning groove is correspondingly provided with the first receiving cavity of the first box cover 111, and the second positioning groove is correspondingly provided with the second receiving cavity of the second box cover 112. When the item is placed in the receiving space, its bottom can be partially embedded in the positioning groove to avoid shaking during transportation.

[0041] In addition, to prevent the packaging box 100 from sliding when it is deformed into a cat scratching post, the bottom (the side in contact with the ground) of the trapezoidal base 113 is provided with a fixing structure. The fixing structure can be an adsorption structure (such as a silicone suction cup, which can be adsorbed onto a smooth floor or furniture surface) or an adhesive structure (such as removable adhesive, which can be peeled off after being pasted on the ground without leaving any adhesive residue), ensuring that the packaging box 100 remains stable when the cat scratches.

[0042] After the packaging box 100 has completed its packaging function, the user can remove the connecting structure between the first box cover 111 and the second box cover 112, so that the side with the cat claw layer 120 faces outward; at this time, the trapezoidal base 113 and the two box covers form a stable triangular support structure, and the cat claw layer 120 is fully exposed, which can then be used as a cat scratching board for the cat to sharpen its claws.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] Those skilled in the art will recognize that the units and algorithm steps of the various examples described in conjunction with the embodiments disclosed herein can be implemented in electronic hardware, or a combination of computer software and electronic hardware. Whether these functions are implemented in hardware or software depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Those skilled in the art can use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementations should not be considered beyond the scope of this invention.

[0045] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and should all be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
