Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging tools, and in particular to a popcorn packaging box. Background Technology

[0002] Popcorn boxes are commonly used packaging boxes. Patent publication CN201770149U discloses a popcorn box with a structure where the top has two interlocking lids. The two lids are interlocked through a U-shaped notch. Since the two lids are interlocked and the interlocking position is roughly in the middle of the box, the lock between the two lids will automatically open if either of them is squeezed, resulting in poor reliability. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a popcorn packaging box that is in a fixed, adhesive state when unopened. When opened, the box is opened by using a locking hole and a locking tab to prop open the fixed box, ensuring high reliability and preventing it from opening due to squeezing.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A popcorn packaging box includes a retractable flattened box body with an opening and a cover. The cover has a locking hole, and the opening of the box body has a locking tab for engaging with the locking hole. The cover has a vent hole, and one end of the cover is attached to an adhesive tab. The adhesive tab and the cover have easy-tear tear tabs.

[0006] The method of using this popcorn box is as follows: First, during the packaging and sales stage, the corn kernels are sealed in a plastic bag and placed inside the box. The adhesive tab on the lid is adhered to the outer wall of the retractable, flattenable box. The lid (along with the easy-tear tab) is pressed tightly against the outer wall of the box, and the entire box is in a closed, flattened state. This is the display and sales state. In this state, because the lid is in a sealed state, even external pressure will not open the box. When you want to eat popcorn, tear open the easy-tear tab. At this time, the lid is in the open state. Tear open the packaging bag and pour the corn kernels into the box. Activate the locking hole on the lid with the locking tab on the box. At this time, the lid opens the box. Place it in the microwave to heat and pop the popcorn. During this process, because the locking holes and locking tabs on the lid engage together, the locking holes and locking tabs will not disengage and open the box when the lid is squeezed by external force, ensuring high reliability. When you want to eat the popcorn inside the box, simply detach the locking holes and locking tabs, and then completely tear the lid off the box. At this point, you can take out the popcorn inside the box.

[0007] In summary, this type of packaging box is in a fixed adhesive state when unopened, and the box body is opened and fixed by the action of the card holes and the locking tabs when opened. It has high reliability and will not open due to squeezing.

[0008] Optionally, the card hole is an arc-shaped card hole, and the engaging piece is a T-shaped engaging protrusion.

[0009] Optionally, the box body includes a bottom sheet, a first side flat sheet, a second side flat sheet, a first side telescopic pleated sheet, and a second telescopic pleated sheet. The first side flat sheet, the second side flat sheet, the first side telescopic pleated sheet, and the second side telescopic pleated sheet are respectively disposed around the four edges of the bottom sheet. The first side telescopic pleated sheet is engaged with the first side flat sheet and the second side flat sheet, and the second telescopic pleated sheet is engaged with the first side flat sheet and the second side flat sheet.

[0010] The presence of the first and second telescopic pleats enables the box to be extended and retractable. When the first and second telescopic pleats are in a flattened state, the entire box is in a flattened state; when the first and second telescopic pleats are in an unfolded state, the entire box is in an unfolded state.

[0011] Optionally, the snap-fit ​​tab is disposed on the first side flat piece, and the cover tab is disposed on the second side flat piece.

[0012] Optionally, the first side telescopic pleated sheet has a first main adhesive sheet and a first secondary adhesive sheet at both ends. The first main adhesive sheet is bonded to the second side flat sheet, and the first secondary adhesive sheet is bonded to the first side flat sheet.

[0013] Optionally, the two ends of the second side telescopic pleated sheet are provided with a second main adhesive sheet and a second auxiliary adhesive sheet. The second main adhesive sheet is bonded to the second side flat sheet, and the second auxiliary adhesive sheet is bonded to the first side flat sheet.

[0014] Optionally, the first side telescopic pleated sheet and the second side telescopic pleated sheet have the same shape and size, and the substrate is a planar substrate.

[0015] Optionally, the film is a rectangular film.

[0016] The purpose of the vent holes is to allow air to pass through when the popcorn is heated.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: when not in use, it is in an adhesive and fixed state; when in use, it uses the action of the card hole and the carding piece to open and fix the box body, which is highly reliable and will not open due to squeezing.
