DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical scheme of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0048] The present application provides a foldable packaging box, which is described in detail below. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not used as a limitation on the preferred order of the embodiments of the present application. Moreover, the description of each embodiment in the following embodiments has its own emphasis, and the parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment can be referred to the related description of other embodiments.

[0049] Referring to Figure 1 In an embodiment, the foldable packaging box comprises: a bottom plate 1; four side plates 2 arranged in a closed manner; and the lower end of each side plate 2 is connected to the bottom plate 1 through a hinge structure 3, so that each side plate 2 can rotate between a horizontal state folded on the bottom plate 1 and a vertical state perpendicular to the bottom plate 1; wherein the four side plates 2 include two opposite first side plates 21 and two opposite second side plates 22; the first side plate 21 is provided with a blocking piece 4 for at least partially extending into the inward turning path of the second side plate 22; and the second side plate 22 is provided with an unlocking device 5 for moving the blocking piece 4 out of the inward turning path of the second side plate 22.

[0050] In the embodiment, the four side plates 2 can be folded in the box; by operating the unlocking device 5, the blocking piece 4 can be moved out of the path of the inward rotation of the second side plate 22, so that each side plate 2 can be folded inwardly to the position as shown in Figure 7 , thereby reducing the occupied space of the box.

[0051] The unlocking device 5 comprises two pushers 51, the outer ends of the pushers 51 are respectively used for pushing the corresponding blocking piece 4, and a driving member 52 is connected with the inner ends of the pushers 51 and used for driving the pushers 51 to move outwardly.

[0052] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the two ends of the driving member 52 are respectively hinged with the inner ends of the pushers 51; wherein in the unlocking state, the hinged positions of the driving member 52 and the pushers 51 form a first obtuse angle, and in the unlocking state, the hinged positions of the driving member 52 and the pushers 51 form a second obtuse angle or a straight angle, and the second obtuse angle is greater than the first obtuse angle.

[0053] It can be understood that, as the angle between the hinged positions of the driving member 52 and the pushers 51 gradually increases, the overall length of the unlocking device 5 will increase, thereby pushing the blocking piece 4.

[0054] Optionally, the angles of the first obtuse angle and the second obtuse angle can be adjusted according to the length of the pusher 51, the moving distance of the driving member 52, the length of the pusher 51 required to be extended for unlocking, etc.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first obtuse angle and the second obtuse angle can both be upward, so that the driving member 52 needs to be lifted for unlocking; of course, the first obtuse angle and the second obtuse angle can also both be downward, so that the driving member 52 needs to be pressed for unlocking.

[0056] Referring to Figure 2 , in order to install and limit the unlocking device 5, optionally, the second side plate 22 is provided with a driving member limiting groove 221 for accommodating the driving member 52 to move up and down in the driving member limiting groove 221, and the second side plate 22 is provided with pusher limiting holes 222 on both sides of the driving member limiting groove 221 for the pushers 51 to pass through.

[0057] Referring to Figure 4 , the two side edges of the second side plate 22 are provided with blocking piece accommodating grooves 223; in the unlocking state, the blocking piece 4 at least partially extends into the blocking piece accommodating grooves 223, that is, the blocking piece 4 at least partially extends into the path of the inward rotation of the second side plate 22.

[0058] Further, the blocking piece 4 comprises: an elastic sheet 41, one end of which is fixedly connected with the first side plate 21; and a blocking block 42, which is arranged on the other end of the elastic sheet 41 and extends into the path of the inward rotation of the second side plate 22.

[0059] In the embodiment, the blocking block 42 is protruded from the inner side of the elastic sheet 41 and extends into the blocking piece accommodating groove 223.

[0060] Optionally, the lower surface of the blocking block 42 is at least partially inclined, and the end of the pushing piece 51 can be matched with the inclined surface. In the locked state, the elastic sheet 41 and the blocking block 42 can press the pushing piece 51, thereby preventing the unlocking device 5 from shaking; in the unlocked state, the pushing piece 51 can push the blocking block 42 out of the blocking piece accommodating groove 223.

[0061] Referring to Figure 5 Optionally, the hinge structure 3 comprises: a hinge strip 31 arranged at the lower end of the side plate 2; the lower end of the hinge strip 31 is provided with a protruding part 311 on both sides; and an accommodating channel 32 is arranged for accommodating the hinge strip 31, and the side of the accommodating channel 32 facing the inside of the box is open, and the side facing outward is closed; the two sides of the accommodating channel 32 are provided with a moving channel 321 for the upward and downward movement of the protruding part 311, and the upper end of the moving channel 321 is provided with a limiting block 322.

[0062] In the embodiment, since the four side plates 2 need to be stacked on the bottom plate 1, the hinge points of the side plates 2 and the bottom plate 1 need to be movable upward and downward, so that the four side plates 2 can be stacked at different heights. By arranging the moving channel 321 for the upward and downward movement of the protruding part 311, and the upper end of the moving channel 321 is provided with the limiting block 322 for preventing the protruding part 311 from being pulled out, the hinge points of the side plates 2 and the bottom plate 1 can be movable upward and downward.

[0063] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 When the foldable packaging box is in the folded state, a second side plate 22 is stacked on the bottom plate 1, another second side plate 22 is stacked on the second side plate 22, and two first side plates 21 are stacked on the upper second side plate 22. In this way, the four side plates 2 are all horizontally folded on the bottom plate 1, thereby minimizing the space of the box body.

[0064] Referring to Figure 1 Optionally, the two side edges of the first side plate 21 are provided with a wrapping edge 211 wrapped outside the second side plate 22; the wrapping edge 211 is provided with a plurality of accommodating holes 212; and the outer surface of the second side plate 22 is provided with a fixing block 224 inserted into the accommodating hole 212. When the box body is in the open state, each fixing block 224 can be embedded in each accommodating hole 212, thereby further fixing the first side plate 21 and the second side plate 22.

[0065] It should be noted that each device (components not described in detail) selected in the present application is a general standard component or a component known to those skilled in the art, and its structure and principle can be known by the technical personnel through the technical manual or through the conventional experimental method.
