Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen folding boxes, and in particular to a multifunctional folding box. Background Technology

[0002] In a kitchen environment, the storage and organization of various ingredients, tableware, and cooking utensils is crucial. Traditionally, packaging boxes used in the kitchen are mostly disposable paper or plastic materials.

[0003] Paper packaging boxes are easily damaged by moisture when exposed to the common humidity in kitchens, which not only affects their lifespan but also poses food safety risks. Disposable plastic packaging boxes are not only difficult to degrade, placing a significant burden on the environment, but their disposable nature also leads to resource waste. More importantly, in the limited space of a kitchen, these traditional packaging boxes take up a lot of space when not in use, causing considerable inconvenience for kitchen organization.

[0004] Folding boxes, due to their foldable nature, are increasingly being introduced into kitchens to address storage challenges. However, existing kitchen folding boxes suffer from several structural design flaws. Their folding methods are often complex and cumbersome, making quick folding and unfolding difficult in the fast-paced environment of a kitchen; their connecting structures are not robust enough, making them prone to falling apart or being damaged during frequent opening and closing or when placing heavy kitchen items; and their functionality is relatively limited, only providing basic storage and failing to meet the diverse needs of a kitchen environment, such as waterproofing, moisture resistance, slip resistance, and efficient space division. Therefore, developing a folding box specifically designed for the kitchen environment—one with a novel structure, diverse functions, and ease of use—is of significant practical importance for improving kitchen space utilization and operational convenience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the technical problems of short service life and poor structural stability of existing kitchen folding boxes. Compared with the prior art, it provides a multi-functional folding box, including an integral sheet material. The integral sheet material is an integral injection molded structure. The integral sheet material includes a base plate. Long side plates are fixed on both sides of the base plate, and short side plates are fixed on the other two sides of the base plate. A first corner plate and a second corner plate are fixed between the short side plates and the long side plates, and the opposite sides of the first corner plate and the second corner plate are fixedly connected.

[0006] The bottom plate, the long side plate, and the short side plate are each fixed with a number of equally spaced protrusions on one side.

[0007] Both the first and second corner plates have mushroom-shaped locking pins fixed on one side of the protrusion, and both the first and second corner plates have locking holes that match the mushroom-shaped locking pins.

[0008] Furthermore, the integral sheet has an inward folding groove on the same side as the protrusion, and the inward folding groove is located between the bottom plate, the long side plate, the short side plate, the first corner plate and the second corner plate on opposite sides.

[0009] Furthermore, the integral sheet has an outward folding groove on the side away from the protrusion, and the outward folding groove is located between the opposite sides of the bottom plate, the long side plate, the short side plate, the first corner plate and the second corner plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom plate, long side plate, short side plate, first corner plate and second corner plate are all provided with a mating bevel on one side of the outward folding groove, and the bevel angle of the mating bevel is 112.5°.

[0011] Furthermore, both the first and second corner plates are triangular structures, and the first and second corner plates have anti-squeezing flat notches at the corner points located on the same side of the protrusion and opposite to the base plate.

[0012] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this application are:

[0013] This invention utilizes a single injection-molded sheet material with protrusions, mushroom-shaped locking studs, and keyholes to create a folding box that is not only structurally stable but also prevents items from sliding and facilitates stacking and separation. The design of inward and outward folding grooves enriches the folding methods, and when laid flat, it can also be used as a placemat, meeting the needs of various kitchen folding box usage scenarios.

[0022] The embodiments will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] Example:

[0024] This utility model provides a multifunctional folding box. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 one Figure 6 The invention includes an integral sheet 1, which is an integral injection molded structure. In this embodiment, the integral sheet 1 is preferably an integral injection molded structure made of silicone material, which improves the antibacterial performance of this application. In other application scenarios, different injection molding materials can be selected according to requirements.

[0025] The integral panel 1 includes a base plate 11, with long side plates 12 fixed on both sides of the base plate 11 and short side plates 13 fixed on the other two sides of the base plate 11. A first corner plate 14 and a second corner plate 15 are fixed between the short side plate 13 and the long side plate 12, respectively, and the opposite sides of the first corner plate 14 and the second corner plate 15 are fixedly connected.

[0026] Each of the base plate 11, long side plate 12, and short side plate 13 has a number of evenly spaced protrusions 16 fixed on one side. These protrusions 16 effectively increase the friction between the protrusions and the placed items in the wet and slippery kitchen environment, preventing food, tableware, etc. from sliding and ensuring kitchen operation safety. At the same time, when multiple folding boxes are stacked in the kitchen cabinet, the protrusions act as spacers, preventing them from being difficult to separate due to the tight fit between the boxes and the influence of kitchen moisture. In addition, when the integrated panel 1 is laid flat, the protrusions 16 can be set upwards to act as a heat insulation pad.

[0027] Both the first corner plate 14 and the second corner plate 15 are fixed with mushroom-shaped locking pins 17 on one side of the protrusion 16. Both the first corner plate 14 and the second corner plate 15 have locking holes 18 that match the mushroom-shaped locking pins 17. Through the cooperation of the two sets of mushroom-shaped locking pins 17 and locking holes 18, the opposing first corner plates 14 and second corner plates 15 can be firmly connected together after the folding box is folded into shape, ensuring the stability of the box structure. This allows it to withstand frequent handling and placement of kitchen items, and even when heavy ingredients or kitchen utensils are placed on it, it is not easy for it to fall apart. This ensures a stable structure in the complex operating environment of the kitchen and extends its service life.

[0028] Furthermore, the integral panel 1 has an inward folding groove 101 on the same side as the protrusion 16. The inward folding groove 101 is located between the bottom plate 11, the long side plate 12, the short side plate 13, the first corner plate 14, and the second corner plate 15 on opposite sides. The inward folding groove 101 allows the folding box to fold inward along a predetermined trajectory during folding, which is convenient and quick, and ensures that the shape is neat after folding.

[0029] The integral sheet 1 has an outward folding groove 102 on the side away from the protrusion 16. The outward folding groove 102 is located between the opposite sides of the base plate 11, the long side plate 12, the short side plate 13, the first corner plate 14, and the second corner plate 15. The outward folding groove 102 cooperates with the inward folding groove 101, so that the thickness of the folding part is reduced after the folding box is injection molded, reducing the resistance to folding, and also reducing the side interference phenomenon when the components are folded.

[0030] The bottom plate 11, long side plate 12, short side plate 13, first corner plate 14, and second corner plate 15 all have mating bevels 103 on one side of the outward folding groove 102. The bevel angle of the mating bevels 103 is 112.5°. When the folding box is folded, the mating bevels 103 enable the first corner plate 14 and the second corner plate 15 to fit tightly with their corresponding adjacent plates, making it less likely for the first corner plate 14 and the second corner plate 15 to wobble relative to the box body after they are locked together, thus further enhancing the structural strength and stability of the box body.

[0031] Both the first corner plate 14 and the second corner plate 15 are triangular structures. At the corner points of the first corner plate 14 and the second corner plate 15 located on the same side of the protrusion 16 and opposite to the base plate 11, there are anti-squeezing notches 104. Since the stress is concentrated at the parts of the first corner plate 14 and the second corner plate 15 opposite to the base plate 11 during folding, the anti-squeezing notches 104 can release deformation stress at these stress-concentrated areas, improving the box's resistance to bending fatigue and thus effectively extending its service life. Simultaneously, they can provide a certain buffer space at the corner points when the folded boxes are stacked or subjected to pressure, preventing damage to the corner points due to concentrated force, further extending the service life of the folded boxes. Furthermore, after multiple folds and uses, they still maintain waterproof performance, meeting the functional needs of carrying water or cleaning fruits and vegetables in kitchen use scenarios.

[0032] This invention utilizes a single injection-molded sheet 1, along with protrusions 16, mushroom-shaped locking pins 17, and lock holes 18, to create a folding box that is not only structurally stable but also prevents items from sliding and facilitates stacking and separation. The design of the inward folding groove 101 and the outward folding groove 102 enriches the folding methods of the box, and when laid flat, it can also be used as a placemat, meeting the needs of kitchen folding boxes in various scenarios. The bevel 103 enhances the sealing and stability of the box after outward folding, while the anti-squeezing notch 104 improves the box's durability. In summary, this multifunctional folding box possesses advantages such as novel structure, diverse functions, and ease of use, and has promising market application prospects.

[0033] The above description is only the best implementation method adopted in this application in combination with current practical needs, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto.
