Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This invention relates to logistics boxes used in the fields of logistics and packaging, and in particular to a box frame that can be generated in new sizes by selecting appropriate quantities of complete foldable box panels as units, thereby expanding the scope of application. Background technology:

[0002] For a long time, logistics boxes and packaging boxes used by various industries have been designed and customized according to the external dimensions required by their own products. Once the box is manufactured, the external dimensions are fixed and cannot be changed. Therefore, it can only be used for a single product, which is the main reason for low universality and complicated box sizes. It is also the main reason why logistics boxes are difficult to use. To solve this problem, there is a need for a variable-size box that can be combined with an appropriate number of foldable box panels as needed to generate a new size box.

[0003] With the rapid development of the e-commerce and express delivery industry, the number of e-commerce express parcels alone has exceeded 400 million per day. The use of logistics boxes is increasing, and the reuse of logistics boxes is becoming more and more urgent, requiring us to have new innovations. Summary of the Invention:

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the problem of universality in the reuse of logistics boxes. It takes a foldable box panel with a fixed single size after manufacturing and combines different quantities and different structures as needed to form a box body of a new size, so as to meet the needs of packaging goods of various sizes.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A modular box with variable dimensions includes: a foldable panel and connecting clips. The foldable panel can be individually folded to form a complete hexahedral base box with various pre-set opening flaps. Furthermore, by selecting appropriate quantities of the foldable panels as units, new box sizes can be generated to meet the different size requirements of various products, thus expanding its applicability.

[0007] The foldable rotating box panel of the aforementioned combinable and versatile box is characterized in that it can be molded from PET plastic, and has pre-reserved snap-fit ​​recesses at the corresponding connection points for use with the snap-fit ​​protrusions. The transverse axis of the foldable rotating box panel is connected by snap-fits to facilitate assembly and size changes. When not in use, it can be unfolded into a flat surface, multiple panels can be stacked, or it can be folded into compact small panels as needed.

[0008] The connecting clips of the aforementioned combinable multi-functional box are characterized in that: the clips are divided into convex clips and concave clips. The convex clips are made of rubber material and can be independently inserted into the concave clips; the concave clips are pre-drilled holes at the connection points of the foldable box panels. The convex clips are inserted into the holes for a secure connection and can also be easily removed in a specific direction.

[0009] This invention has the following significant advancements and social benefits:

[0010] 1. This invention replaces paper with plastic, which on the one hand saves a large amount of raw materials for "green plants," creating necessary conditions for reducing the use of green plants and protecting them. On the other hand, using plastic materials to make the foldable box board of this application not only overcomes the defects of paper boxes in the "reuse" process, such as easy moisture absorption and staining, but also gives full play to the advantages of plastic materials in "reuse."

[0011] 2. Structurally, this invention uses foldable and rotatable box panels as the basic unit. Under the premise that they can be assembled into a box body individually, the appropriate number of foldable and rotatable box panels can be selected as needed to generate a box body of a new size, so as to meet the needs of different commodities for different sizes of packaging boxes, thereby expanding the universality and application range.

[0012] 3. Because this invention uses plastic material, it is easy to pre-drill holes for connection or sealing on the foldable box body, which can be matched with independent protruding buckles for convenient use. Attached image description:

[0013] This specification includes four accompanying drawings: four are three-dimensional schematic diagrams of a single foldable panel, three are structural diagrams of the box body with different new sizes formed by adding multiple foldable panels, and one is a diagram of the simplified connecting clip structure used in this invention. Specifically:

[0014] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a single foldable rotating box panel of the present invention unfolded from a planar surface.

[0015] Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the structure of a single foldable rotating box panel of the present invention after the two short sides are folded together.

[0016] Figure 3 The present invention is a single foldable rotating box panel in Figure 2 Based on this, after further folding, it is a three-dimensional diagram of an independently closed structure used for storage and transportation.

[0017] Figure 4 This is a three-dimensional display of three types of boxes that can be folded into different openings using a single foldable panel of the present invention.

[0018] Figure 5 This is a three-dimensional diagram showing a new size of heightened combination of several foldable and rotatable boxes, including: 1 top box; 2 middle box; 3 bottom box.

[0019] Figure 6 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a widened assembly of several foldable and rotatable boxes, forming a new size. The boxes consist of: 1. First box; 2. Middle box; 3. End box.

[0020] Figure 7 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of an extended assembly of several foldable and rotatable boxes, forming a new size. The boxes consist of: 1. First box; 2. Middle box; 3. End box.

[0021] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the buckle structure of the present invention for connecting a box or sealing the box opening, wherein: 1. a convex buckle; 2. a concave hole. Specific implementation plan:

[0022] The present invention relates to the following details, which are hereby described:

[0023] 1. Foldable rotatable panels are usually composed of multiple foldable rotatable panels. However, for specific dimensions, such as height and width being equal or length being twice the height, a single foldable rotatable panel can be used without changing the connecting surfaces.

[0024] 2. Generally, the outer dimensions of the box are tens of times larger than the thickness of the box panels. Therefore, the attached diagram ignores the error caused by the overlap of the box panels. If there is an error caused by the overlap of the box panels, it can be solved by using a concave hole of appropriate length.

[0025] 3. To keep the drawing neat, the recessed holes used in conjunction with the connecting clips are not marked in the 3D drawing. The positions of the holes should be distributed as shown in the diagram.

[0026] 4. From Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 It is not difficult to see that between the first box and the last box, there are two intermediate boxes, and an unlimited number of intermediate boxes with the same structure can be inserted. However, considering practicality, it is recommended that no more than three intermediate boxes be inserted. If a wider, longer and taller box is required, multiple foldable boxes of the same series can be selected and combined.

[0027] In this embodiment, we selected a foldable rotating box plate with arbitrary edge lengths, but for consistency in the drawings, we adopted an edge length ratio of 7:3:3 for explanation: Refer to Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional diagram of a foldable rotating box panel unfolded from its planar shape. Because it can be any size, it is composed of four parts: two foldable double-sided panels and two single-sided panels with four folded edges. The connections between these parts are achieved using independent, movable snap fasteners that insert into pre-drilled holes in the foldable rotating box panels for connection and sealing. Figure 2 After folding, it becomes Figure 3 It can be stored, unloaded, and transferred independently.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 Therefore Figure 1 The foldable, rotating box panels shown can be individually assembled with snap-fit ​​clips to form boxes with different openings, suitable for various product packaging needs. Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 Therefore Figure 4 The three different side openings shown (2) are based on the basic box. Three new sizes are formed by combining three foldable box panels as needed. The middle box can be changed from zero to N. The other two basic openings can also be changed in a similar way to expand the range of size changes.

[0029] Figure 8 The connecting clips used in this invention include: 1) a foldable rotating box panel; 2) a protruding clip made of rubber for its flexibility, which does not damage the foldable rotating box panel and allows for a stable and secure connection with the box panel; and 3) a protruding clip, which is directly designed and injection molded onto the foldable rotating box panel. When the protruding clip is inserted into the concave clip, a 90° rotation will secure it.

[0030] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the first box, middle box, and last box all have various combinations and folding forms. Perhaps the folding method shown in the figure is not the optimal one, but it can achieve the goal of using foldable box panels as basic units and selecting appropriate quantities to combine according to the needs of the packaged goods to generate boxes of new sizes.

[0031] If, during use, location A only has goods packaged using one foldable carton size, and after being transported to location B, location B needs to package goods requiring two foldable carton sizes, then the original one foldable carton can be combined to form two foldable cartons of the same size for packaging, thus expanding the applicable scope of goods packaging using foldable cartons.
