Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of express delivery technology, specifically to an express delivery box. Background Technology

[0002] In the express delivery industry, the common packaging method for cold chain express delivery is EPS foam boxes with ice packs, while EPP recyclable foam boxes with ice packs are also used.

[0003] In express delivery scenarios, each box is labeled with a waybill to identify and record the shipment's movement. For EPS foam boxes, the waybill can usually be discarded along with the box after being affixed. However, for EPP reusable foam boxes, the box itself is reusable, and the waybill affixed to it needs to be removed to facilitate the box's secondary reuse. Currently, the industry common practice is to directly affix the waybill to the box surface without any special treatment requirements. This results in adhesive residue left after cleaning the reusable box. Complete removal requires significant time and the use of tools like knives to scrape off the adhesive, leading to high cleaning costs, low efficiency, and potential damage to the reusable box, thus affecting its lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application provides a parcel box that solves the problems of high cleaning costs and low cleaning efficiency of parcel box waybills, as well as damage to the reusable box.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A parcel box includes a shell and a cover detachably connected to the shell. At least one of the shell and the cover has a waybill pasting area. The waybill pasting area is used to provide a pasting position for the waybill. The waybill pasting area has a textured structure formed by alternating protrusions and recesses, and the size of the waybill pasting area is larger than the size of the waybill.

[0007] Optionally, the protrusion is at least partially a diamond-shaped protrusion.

[0008] Optionally, the length of one diagonal of the rhomboid protrusion is L1, and the length of the other diagonal of the rhomboid protrusion is L2, wherein L1 and L2 satisfy: 2.5mm≤L1≤4.5mm, 1mm≤L2≤3mm.

[0009] Optionally, in the protrusion direction of the protrusion, the height difference between the protrusion and the recess is h, where h satisfies: 1mm≤h≤3mm.

[0010] Optionally, in a first direction, adjacent protrusions are spaced at equal intervals; and / or, in a second direction, adjacent protrusions are spaced at equal intervals.

[0011] Optionally, the first direction and the second direction are set perpendicular to each other.

[0012] Optionally, the distance between adjacent protrusions in the first direction is D1, and the distance between adjacent protrusions in the second direction is D2, wherein D1 and D2 satisfy: 1mm≤D1≤3mm, 0.2mm≤D2≤0.8mm.

[0013] Optionally, a groove is formed on the side of the cover away from the housing, and the waybill pasting area is located at the bottom of the groove.

[0014] Optionally, in the protrusion direction of the protrusion, the height of the protrusion is less than the depth of the groove.

[0015] Optionally, the waybill pasting area is equipped with a waybill pasting label.

[0016] The express delivery box provided in this application includes a shell and a cover detachably connected to the shell. At least one of the shell and the cover has a waybill pasting area, which provides a place to paste the waybill. The waybill pasting area has a textured structure formed by alternating protrusions and recesses, and the size of the waybill pasting area is larger than the size of the waybill. Thus, when the waybill is pasted onto the waybill pasting area, due to the textured structure, the waybill only adheres to the protruding end faces of the protrusions, reducing the adhesion area between the waybill and the express delivery box, making it easier to tear the waybill from the box. However, due to the protrusions, the waybill will not fall off the box without external force. This design reduces the cleaning cost of waybills, improves the cleaning efficiency of waybills, and reduces damage to the express delivery box during cleaning, facilitating the secondary reuse of the express delivery box. Attached Figure Description

[0017] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on the provided drawings without creative effort.

[0023] This application provides a parcel box that solves the problems of high cleaning costs and low cleaning efficiency of parcel box waybills, as well as damage to reusable boxes.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the illustration, this application provides a parcel locker, including a shell 1 and a cover 2 detachably connected to the shell 1. At least one of the shell 1 and the cover 2 is provided with a waybill pasting area 3. That is, the waybill pasting area 3 can be disposed on the shell 1, on the cover 2, or both. The waybill pasting area 3 provides a pasting position for the waybill, and has a textured structure formed by alternating protrusions 31 and recesses 32. Specifically, before shipping the package, the waybill needs to be affixed to the waybill affixing area 3. Since the waybill affixing area 3 has a textured structure formed by alternating protrusions 31 and recesses 32, the waybill will adhere to the protrusions 31 after being affixed, while a gap exists between the waybill and the recesses 32. Because the affixing surface of the waybill only adheres to the protruding end face of the protrusion 31, the adhesive area between the waybill and the package is reduced, thus lowering the adhesive force between the waybill and the waybill affixing area 3. This makes it easier for operators to remove the waybill from the waybill affixing area 3 before the next delivery, reducing the cleaning cost of the waybill and improving cleaning efficiency, while preventing damage to the package during cleaning. Furthermore, the size of the waybill affixing area 3 must be larger than the size of the waybill to ensure that the entire waybill can be affixed to it.

[0026] It should be noted that the express delivery boxes can be cardboard boxes, EPS foam boxes, or EPP foam boxes. EPS refers to expandable polystyrene, a thermoplastic plastic obtained through the polymerization of styrene monomers; EPP refers to expanded polypropylene, a high-performance foam material based on polypropylene (PP). It is formed by combining polypropylene granules with a foaming agent through physical foaming technology, creating a lightweight material with a closed-cell structure under high temperature and pressure. The preferred express delivery box here is the recyclable EPP foam box, as this increases the utilization rate of the recyclable foam box and extends its service life.

[0027] The aforementioned express delivery box includes a shell 1 and a cover 2 detachably connected to the shell 1. At least one of the shell 1 and the cover 2 has a waybill pasting area 3, which provides a pasting position for the waybill. The waybill pasting area 3 has a textured structure formed by alternating protrusions 31 and recesses 32, and its size is larger than the size of the waybill. Thus, when the waybill is pasted onto the waybill pasting area 3, due to the textured structure, the waybill only adheres to the protruding end face of the protrusion 31, reducing the adhesion area between the waybill and the express delivery box. This makes it easier to remove the waybill from the box. However, due to the protrusions 31, the waybill will not fall off the box without external force. This design reduces the cleaning cost of waybills, improves cleaning efficiency, and reduces damage to the express delivery box during cleaning, facilitating the secondary reuse of the express delivery box.

[0028] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The protrusion 31 is at least partially rhomboid in shape. This design has three advantages: First, in terms of mechanical stability, the rhombus shape has better shear strength than other shapes. When subjected to oblique forces (such as wind during express delivery), the inclined side of the rhomboid protrusion can more effectively transfer the force along the diagonal, reducing structural deformation and thus reducing the risk of waybills being blown away or falling off. Second, the rhomboid protrusions can be seamlessly spliced ​​in honeycomb structures or close-laid designs, reducing gaps (such as the hexagonal shape of a honeycomb, which is essentially derived from a rhombus), allowing for compact arrangement and improving material space utilization. Third, the rhomboid protrusions can more evenly distribute local stress, avoiding stress concentration at square right angles, extending the structural lifespan, and effectively reducing or avoiding wear and tear on the texture during repeated use.

[0029] Furthermore, it should be noted that the protrusion 31 can also be other structural polygonal protrusions, circular protrusions, elliptical protrusions, etc. In addition, all protrusions 31 can have the same shape, some can be the same and some can be different, or they can all be different.

[0030] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2The length of one diagonal of the rhombus-shaped protrusion is L1, and the length of the other diagonal is L2, where L1 and L2 satisfy: 2.5mm ≤ L1 ≤ 4.5mm, 1mm ≤ L2 ≤ 3mm. Ensuring that the two diagonals of the rhombus protrusion meet these ranges serves two purposes: firstly, it avoids the diagonals being too large, thus preventing the effective adhesive area between the protruding end and the waybill from being too large, making the waybill difficult to remove; secondly, it avoids the diagonals being too small, thus preventing the protruding end and the waybill from falling off during express delivery due to poor adhesion. This design ensures that the waybill is firmly attached to the package during transportation while also allowing for easy removal of the waybill when needed.

[0031] For example, the length of one diagonal of the rhomboid protrusion, L1, can be 2.5mm, 2.6mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.4mm, 4.5mm, etc.; the length of the other diagonal of the rhomboid protrusion, L2, can be 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 2.9mm, 3mm, etc.

[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 In the protruding direction of the protrusion 31, the height difference between the protrusion 31 and the recess 32 is h, where h satisfies: 1mm ≤ h ≤ 3mm. Ensuring that the height difference between the protrusion 31 and the recess 32 meets this range serves two purposes: firstly, it avoids an excessively large height difference, preventing the protrusion 31 from having low structural strength and being damaged during use; secondly, it avoids an excessively small height difference, preventing the waybill from sticking to the recess 32 after being pasted to the waybill pasting area 3, making it difficult to remove the waybill when replacing it. This design ensures the structural strength of the protrusion 31 while making the waybill easy to remove when replacing it.

[0033] For example, the height difference h between the protrusion 31 and the recess 32 can be 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 2.9mm, 3mm, etc.

[0034] It should be noted that the protruding direction of the protrusion 31 is... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow Z.

[0035] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2In the first direction, adjacent protrusions 31 are equally spaced; and / or, in the second direction, adjacent protrusions 31 are equally spaced. This ensures that the adjacent protrusions 31 are equally spaced in at least one of the first and second directions, allowing the waybill to be evenly attached to the protrusions 31 in at least one direction after being pasted onto the waybill pasting area 3. This ensures uniform contact between the waybill and the protrusions 31 in at least one direction, thereby guaranteeing uniform adhesion force between different parts of the waybill and the protrusions 31 in at least one direction. This facilitates the complete removal of the waybill when needed, thus improving the cleaning efficiency of the waybill.

[0036] Further details based on the above embodiments can be found in the following examples. Figure 2 The first and second directions are perpendicular. This arrangement further improves the uniformity of the protrusions 31 on the plane where the waybill pasting area 3 is located, and ensures that the waybill is evenly stressed after being pasted into the waybill pasting area 3, making it easier to peel the waybill off the waybill and further improving the cleaning efficiency of the waybill.

[0037] For example, the first direction is Figure 2 The direction indicated by the double-headed arrow X is the second direction. Figure 2 The direction indicated by the double-headed arrow Y.

[0038] Furthermore, the angle between the first direction and the second direction can be an acute angle of any degree.

[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The distance between adjacent protrusions 31 in the first direction is D1, and the distance between adjacent protrusions 31 in the second direction is D2, where D1 and D2 satisfy: 1mm≤D1≤3mm, 0.2mm≤D2≤0.8mm. Ensuring that the distance between adjacent protrusions 31 meets the above range is beneficial in two ways: firstly, it avoids an excessively large distance, preventing the effective adhesive area between the waybill and the protrusions 31 from being too small after the waybill is pasted in the waybill pasting area 3, thus preventing the waybill from falling off during express delivery due to insecure adhesion; secondly, it avoids an excessively small distance, preventing the effective adhesive area between the waybill and the protrusions 31 from being too large after the waybill is pasted in the waybill pasting area 3, thus avoiding reduced cleaning efficiency when the waybill is removed. This design ensures that the waybill is firmly attached to the express box during express delivery, while also ensuring easy cleaning of the waybill when it needs to be replaced.

[0040] For example, the distance D1 between adjacent protrusions 31 in the first direction can be 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 2.9mm, 3mm, etc.; and the distance D2 between adjacent protrusions 31 in the second direction can be 0.2mm, 0.25mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.75mm, 0.8mm, etc.

[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 A groove 21 is formed on the side of the cover 2 away from the shell 1, and the waybill pasting area 3 is set at the bottom of the groove 21. That is to say, the waybill pasting area 3 is set on the side of the cover 2 away from the shell 1, that is, when the express box is in the upright position, the waybill pasting area 3 is set on the top of the cover 2. This setting makes it easier to paste and tear off the express, thereby improving the efficiency of waybill replacement for reusable express boxes.

[0042] In addition, in traditional express delivery boxes, waybills may be pasted anywhere on the box. Due to the setting of waybill pasting area 3, operators can quickly and efficiently find the location of the waybill when cleaning it, further improving the cleaning efficiency of the waybill.

[0043] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 In the protruding direction of the protrusion 31, the height of the protrusion 31 is less than the depth of the groove 21. This design serves two purposes: firstly, it prevents the protrusion 31 of the waybill pasting area 3 from being rubbed or bumped during the transport of the express box, thus protecting the protrusion 31; secondly, because the height of the protrusion 31 is less than the depth of the groove 21, the waybill, being thinner, will not protrude from the groove 21 after being pasted onto the waybill pasting area 3, preventing damage to the waybill during express box transport and also protecting the waybill.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 Waybill pasting area 3 is equipped with waybill pasting markers 33. By setting waybill pasting markers 33, when operators paste waybills onto express boxes, they can quickly locate the pasting position of the waybill based on the marking function of waybill pasting markers 33, thus improving the pasting effect of waybills; and when operators need to remove waybills from waybill pasting area 3, they can also quickly find the waybill based on the position of waybill pasting markers 33, thus improving the efficiency of operators in tearing off waybills.

[0045] For example, the waybill sticker 33 can be one or a combination of text stickers, graphic stickers, color stickers, etc.

[0046] In some embodiments, a groove (not shown in the figure) is provided on the waybill pasting area 3, and the waybill covers part of the groove. With this configuration, when the operator needs to tear off the waybill on the express box, the operator's fingers can be inserted into the groove 21 to hold the waybill and tear it off. This configuration can improve the efficiency of waybill cleaning.

[0047] In some embodiments, a pull strip (not shown in the figure) is provided on the waybill, and the pull strip is fixedly connected to the waybill. With this configuration, when it is necessary to tear off the waybill from the waybill pasting area 3, the operator can easily tear off the waybill by holding the pull strip, thus improving the efficiency of waybill cleaning.
