[0019] The embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0020] A box cover closed linkage type self-locking paper box, such as Figures 2-5As shown, it comprises a box body 1, a shake cover 2 and a plug 3, the top of the box body 1 is connected with the shake cover 2, the end of the shake cover 2 is provided with the plug 3, the top of the front side plate of the box body 1 is connected with a first connecting piece 4 extending to the front and downward, the rear side of the first connecting piece 4 is bonded with the front side of the box body 1, the lower end of the first connecting piece 4 is connected with a second connecting piece 5 extending to the front and upward, the both ends of the first connecting piece 4 are respectively formed with a crease line between the second connecting piece 5 and the box body 1, the both sides of the second connecting piece 5 are symmetrically provided with triangular pieces 6 which are reversely turned by 90 degrees and connected with the side plates of the box body 1 by bonding, the top edge of the triangular piece 6 is provided with an arc-shaped opening 601, when the shake cover 2 covers the top of the box body 1, the finger placed at the arc-shaped opening 601 can facilitate opening the shake cover 2, the second connecting piece 5 and the front side plate of the box body 1 form a plug-in gap, the width of the plug-in gap is 1.4 times the thickness of the plug 3, the middle of the plug 3 is provided with a convex notch 301, the both sides of the convex notch 301 are provided with locking portions 302 extending to the middle, the locking portions 302 are rectangular; the both sides of the upper part of the first connecting piece 4 are provided with cut grooves 401, the cut grooves 401 are respectively provided with elastic locking pieces 402, the shapes of the cut grooves 401 and the locking pieces 402 are consistent; the both sides of the second connecting piece 5 are respectively provided with unlocking holes 501 corresponding to the locking pieces 402, the shapes of the unlocking holes 501 are square, the locking pieces 402 are embedded in the unlocking holes 501 to form a locking state, the box body 1, the shake cover 2, the first connecting piece 4, the second connecting piece 5, the triangular piece 6 and the locking piece 402 are integrally die-cut from single corrugated paperboard, which not only reduces the production cost, but also improves the production efficiency.

[0021] As shown in Figure 5 The width of the locking piece 402 linearly decreases from the connecting end to the middle of the front side plate of the box body 1, and remains constant from the middle to the free end, when the shake cover 2 is closed and the plug 3 is inserted into the plug-in gap, the locking portions 302 partially coincide with the upper part of the wider locking piece 402.

[0022] In the initial state, the self-locking paper box is open, and the lower part of the locking piece 402 on both sides is embedded in the unlocking hole 501. When the shake cover 2 is placed on the top of the box body 1, and the plug 3 is inserted into the plug-in gap, the locking portions 302 on both sides will contact the upper end of the locking piece 402. As the plug 3 continues to move downward, it will push the locking piece 402 to move to the inside of the cut groove 401. Since the width of the locking piece 402 gradually decreases from the connecting end to the middle of the front side plate of the box body 1, and remains constant from the middle to the free end, the locking piece 402 will be separated from the locking portion 302 at a certain position and no longer be extruded. At this time, the locking piece 402 relies on the crease between the locking piece 402 and the first connecting piece 4 to elastically recover to the original position, so that the lower part of the locking piece 402 is embedded in the unlocking hole 501 again, forming a self-locking structure. At this time, the plug 3 is limited in the plug-in gap and cannot be bent forward, and the locking portion 302 is located between the first connecting piece 4 and the locking piece 402.

[0023] If the rocker cover 2 is attempted to be opened upward, the locking portion 302 will move upward to the rear of the wider portion of the lock piece 402. Due to the design of the lock piece 402 being wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and the space limitation of the plug-in gap, the lock piece 402 can be effectively prevented from being flipped upward and forward, thereby avoiding the possibility of directly opening the rocker cover 2. When it is necessary to reopen the rocker cover 2, the lock piece 402 in the unlocking hole 501 can be pressed backward at the same time to unlock. In this process, because the locking portion 302 is located at the lower side of the lock piece 402, it will not hinder the lock piece 402 from retracting into the cutting groove 401, and at the same time, the rocker cover 2 is opened by the arc-shaped opening 601, so that the plug-in gap is separated from the plug 3, and the rocker cover 2 is fully opened.

[0024] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
