Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of color box technology, and in particular to a box that is easy to assemble and form. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese patent announcement number CN216735210U, published on June 14, 2022, discloses a box body assembled using a snap-fit structure. This box is made of EPE sheet material and includes one first sheet and two second sheets. The first sheet serves as the bottom of the box, and the two second sheets, folded vertically, form the four sides. A first snap-fit groove is formed on the upper edge of the first sheet, and a first snap-fit protrusion is formed at the edge end of the second sheets. The first snap-fit protrusions of the second sheets snap into the first snap-fit grooves of the first sheets, thus assembling the sheets to form the box body. This invention uses two sizes of rectangular sheets, minimizing waste during production. The flat sheets facilitate storage and transportation. The sheets are easily assembled by snapping them together, saving material and labor costs. This design also facilitates reduced-volume packaging. The existing technology has the following drawbacks: 1. It is composed of EPE sheets, and EPE, EPS, and other foamed materials require molding or foaming, resulting in high mold costs; 2. Although EPE sheets can be folded, they are limited by the material thickness, while foamed materials have a fixed volume and cannot be compressed; 3. EPE, EPS, and other foamed materials are difficult to recycle, and incineration may produce toxic gases, which is not environmentally friendly. Given these circumstances, improvements are urgently needed. Utility Model Content
