[0009] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of the present invention, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0010] Please refer to Figure 1 A lightweight corrugated cardboard box includes a cardboard sheet comprising an outer face liner 1, a middle inner liner 2, an inner face liner 3, an upper corrugated base paper 4, and a lower corrugated base paper 5. The outer face liner 1, the upper corrugated base paper 4, the middle inner liner 2, the lower corrugated base paper 5, and the inner face liner 3 are arranged in a sequentially stacked manner. The upper corrugated base paper 4 and the lower corrugated base paper 5 are wavy with their crests facing each other. The middle inner liner 2 includes a connecting liner 22 and a honeycomb structure 21. Multiple connecting liner 22 and honeycomb structures 21 are provided and arranged at intervals along the length of the upper corrugated base paper 4. The honeycomb structure 21 is opposite to the crest of the upper corrugated base paper 4. The connecting liner 22 has a perforated structure 223.

[0011] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by designing the connecting liner 22 and the honeycomb structure 21 of the intermediate liner 2, the intermediate liner 2 forms a composite structure; by utilizing the relative design of the peaks of the honeycomb structure 21 with the upper corrugated base paper 4 and the lower corrugated base paper 5, it can effectively strengthen the load-bearing node, while the connecting liner 22 can be designed with a hollow structure 223 to reduce the structural weight; through the cooperation of the honeycomb structure 21 and the connecting liner 22, the weight of the carton is reduced while the structural strength of the cardboard is guaranteed.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting liner 22 includes an upper liner 221 and a lower liner 222, which are positioned opposite each other. The upper liner 221 is close to the upper corrugated base paper 4, and the lower liner 222 is close to the lower corrugated base paper 5.

[0013] As described above, the connecting liner 22 consists of an upper liner 221 and a lower liner 222. The design of the two liner layers ensures the compressive strength of the cardboard.

[0014] Furthermore, both the upper inner paper 221 and the lower inner paper 222 are provided with a hollow structure 223.

[0015] As can be seen from the above description, the cardboard box is lightweight by using the hollow structure 223 set on the upper inner paper 221 and the lower inner paper 222.

[0016] Furthermore, the perforated structures 223 of the upper inner paper 221 and the lower inner paper 222 are staggered in the thickness direction of the paperboard.

[0017] As can be seen from the above description, by staggering the perforated structure 223 on the upper inner paper 221 and the lower inner paper 222, the perforation can be avoided from being too concentrated, which would weaken the strength of some nodes.

[0018] Furthermore, the upper edge of the honeycomb structure 21 is connected to the upper inner paper 221, and the lower edge of the honeycomb structure 21 is connected to the lower inner paper 222.

[0019] As can be seen from the above description, the honeycomb structure 21 is combined with the connecting inner paper 22 by connecting the upper edge and the lower edge of the honeycomb structure 21 to the upper inner paper 221 and the lower inner paper 222, respectively.

[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a first reinforcing rib 6, which is disposed on both sides of the honeycomb structure 21 and extends obliquely from the upper end of the honeycomb structure 21 to connect with the lower inner paper 222.

[0021] As can be seen from the above description, the inclined arrangement of the first reinforcing rib 6 can further strengthen the connection between the honeycomb structure 21 and the lower liner 222, thereby improving the integrity and strength of the paperboard.

[0022] Furthermore, it also includes a second reinforcing rib 7, which is disposed on both sides of the honeycomb structure 21 and extends obliquely from the lower end of the honeycomb structure 21 to connect with the upper inner paper 221.

[0023] As can be seen from the above description, the inclined arrangement of the second reinforcing rib 7 can further strengthen the connection between the honeycomb structure 21 and the upper inner paper 221, thereby improving the integrity and strength of the paperboard.

[0024] Furthermore, the first reinforcing rib 6 and the second reinforcing rib 7 are respectively disposed on two adjacent honeycomb structures 21.

[0025] As can be seen from the above description, the combined design of the first reinforcing rib 6 and the second reinforcing rib 7 can improve the structural strength of the intermediate inner paper 2.
