Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging technology, and in particular to a cardboard box. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the pet economy and e-commerce industry have shown a vigorous trend of synergistic development. The sales of pet food, toys and supplies on e-commerce platforms have been increasing year by year, which has created a huge demand for cardboard packaging. After consumers place orders online, these cardboard boxes filled with pet supplies are delivered to thousands of households across cities and villages through warehousing, sorting, trunk transportation and last-mile delivery.
[0003] However, current product cardboard boxes are only used for packaging and transportation, with a single function. After consumers receive the goods, the cardboard boxes are usually discarded as waste, which not only wastes resources but also increases the burden of waste disposal. In addition, traditional cardboard boxes lack flexible internal partitions, and items are easily damaged by collisions during transportation.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of cardboard box to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cardboard box.
[0006] The cardboard box provided by this utility model includes: a cardboard box body, a first box cover movably connected to the top of the cardboard box body, a second box cover movably connected to the cardboard box body, a front box cover movably connected to one side of the cardboard box body, both the front box cover and the cardboard box body having arc-shaped grooves, a back box cover movably connected to the side of the cardboard box body away from the front box cover, and spring buttons equidistantly installed inside the cardboard box body. A driven plate is fixedly connected to the side of the spring buttons near the back box cover, and an active plate is fixedly connected to the side of the spring buttons near the front box cover.
[0007] Preferably, a first limiting block for limiting the driven plate is fixedly connected at equal intervals inside the carton body, and a second limiting block for limiting the active plate is fixedly connected at equal intervals inside the carton body.
[0008] Preferably, a limiting plate for restricting the rear cover is movably connected to the top of the front cover.
[0009] Preferably, the carton body, the front cover, and the back cover are all provided with openings at equal intervals, and an easy-open sealing strip is fixedly connected to each opening.
[0010] Preferably, both the active plate and the driven plate have creases on both sides.
[0011] Preferably, the length of the opening is equal to the length of the key cross section, and the width of the opening is greater than the width of the key cross section.
[0012] Preferably, an insert plate is movably connected to the side of the back cover away from the carton body, and a limiting port is opened inside the insert plate, which is inserted into the limiting plate.
[0013] Preferably, the second box cover has a through groove on the side near the front box cover.
[0014] Compared with related technologies, the cardboard box provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] Protected items:
[0016] The spring mechanism inside the carton works with the active plate, the driven plate, the first limiting block, and the second limiting block to form an adjustable partition structure, dividing the internal space into independent areas to prevent damage to the items due to shaking and collision during transportation.
[0017] Pet interaction:
[0018] After use, the active plate passes through the opening of the cardboard body and the driven plate passes through the opening of the rear cover. Using the crease in the middle of the spring button, it is folded into an L-shape and closed with the top cover. It can be quickly converted into a "whack-a-mole" interactive toy to meet the entertainment needs of pets (cats and dogs), extend the life cycle of the cardboard box, and reduce the waste of resources caused by disposable items.
[0019] Enhance ease of use:
[0020] The first and second box lids, together with the front and back box lids, form a three-dimensional opening and closing structure. The insertion structure of the limiting plate, the insert plate, and the limiting port ensures that the box lid is tightly closed during transportation to prevent items from falling out.
[0021] Applications of easy-open sealing strips:
[0022] The easy-open closure strip at the opening allows for quick and easy opening by hand, preventing damage to the items from violent unpacking and adapting to the needs of switching between transport and toy modes.
[0023] Increase the reuse rate of cardboard boxes:
[0024] Consumers do not need to purchase pet toys separately, reducing usage costs, while adding a differentiated "toy out of the box" experience to e-commerce products, enhancing brand favorability. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0032] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A cardboard box, comprising: a cardboard box body 1; a first lid 2 movably connected to the top of the cardboard box body 1; a second lid 3 movably connected to the cardboard box body 1; a front lid 4 movably connected to one side of the cardboard box body 1; both the front lid 4 and the cardboard box body 1 have arc-shaped grooves 5; a back lid 6 movably connected to the side of the cardboard box body 1 away from the front lid 4; spring-loaded buttons 7 equidistantly installed inside the cardboard box body 1; a driven plate 8 fixedly connected to the side of the spring-loaded buttons 7 near the back lid 6; a driven plate 9 fixedly connected to the side of the spring-loaded buttons 7 near the front lid 4; and first limiting blocks 21 for limiting the driven plates 8 fixedly connected equidistantly inside the cardboard box body 1. A second limiting block 22 for limiting the active plate 9 is fixedly connected. A limiting plate 31 for limiting the back cover 6 is movably connected to the top of the front cover 4. The carton body 1, the front cover 3 and the back cover 6 are all equidistantly provided with openings. An easy-open sealing strip 41 is fixedly connected to the opening. Creases are provided on both sides of the active plate 9 and the driven plate 8. The length of the opening is equal to the length of the spring key 7 section. The width of the opening is greater than the width of the spring key 7 section. An insert plate 71 is movably connected to the side of the back cover 6 away from the carton body 1. A limiting port 72 is provided inside the insert plate 71. The limiting port 72 is inserted into the limiting plate 31. A through groove 81 is provided on the side of the second cover 3 near the front cover 4.
[0034] It should be noted that: the length of the second lid 3 is greater than the length of the first lid 2; the arc-shaped groove 5 of the carton body 1 is designed to provide space for the rotation of the limiting plate 31; the first limiting block 21 has a slot for only the spring button 7 to pass through; the driven plate 8 is larger than the slot, so the driven plate 8 cannot pass through the slot; the second limiting block 22 has slots on both sides for only the spring button 7 to pass through; the driving plate 9 is larger than the slot, so the driving plate 9 cannot pass through the slot; the opening of the carton body 1 and the second limiting block 22 are connected. The slots of the position block 22 are located in the same position. After the easy-open sealing strip 41 is removed, the slot of the second limiting block 22 near the carton body 1 will be exposed. At this time, after the driven plate 8 is removed, the active plate 9 is folded along the crease. The active plate 9 and the spring key 7 can pass through the slot and opening and extend out of the carton body 1. The width of the through slot 81 of the second box cover 3 is greater than the width of the insert plate 71, ensuring that the insert plate 71 is not obstructed when it is inserted into the arc groove 5 of the front box cover 4 and the through slot 81 of the second box cover 3. The spring key 7 has a crease in the middle.
[0035] The working principle of the cardboard box provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0036] Item installation:
[0037] The driven plate 8 is placed inside the first limiting block 21. The first limiting block 21 has a slot that allows only the spring button 7 to pass through. The driven plate 8 is larger than the slot, so the driven plate 8 is restricted inside the first limiting block 21. Similarly, the active plate 9 is placed inside the second limiting block 22. The slots on both sides of the second limiting block 22 allow only the spring button 7 to pass through. The active plate 9 is larger than the slot, so the active plate 9 is restricted inside the second limiting block 22. The distance between the first limiting block 21 and the second limiting block 22 is slightly less than the length of the spring button 7. Therefore, after the active plate 9 and the driven plate 8 are restricted, the spring button 7 always remains taut, preventing the spring button 7 from falling off during transportation. Multiple spring buttons 7 divide the internal space of the carton body 1 into independent compartments, preventing the items from swaying laterally during transportation.
[0038] Closed carton body 1:
[0039] First, close the second box cover 3 and the first box cover 2. At this time, the edge of the second box cover 3 is in contact with the edge of the first box cover 2. Then, close the front box cover 4. The arc groove 5 design of the front box cover 4 prevents the front box cover 4 from squeezing the limiting plate 31 when it moves. Finally, close the back box cover 6. Since the width of the through groove 81 is greater than the width of the insert plate 71, after the back box cover 6 is closed, the insert plate 71 can pass through the arc groove 5 of the front box cover 4 and the through groove 81 of the second box cover 3 in sequence and enter the interior of the carton body 1. Finally, rotate the limiting plate 31 so that the limiting plate 31 passes through the limiting opening 72 and locks the position of the insert plate 71 to prevent the top of the carton body 1 from being exposed due to bumps during transportation.
[0040] Reusable cardboard boxes:
[0041] After the items inside the cardboard box 1 have been removed or used, the cardboard box 1 is left idle. At this time, tear open the easy-open sealing strip 41 to expose the openings of the cardboard box 1, the front cover 4, the back cover 6, and the slot of the second limiting block 22 near the side of the cardboard box 1. Open the back cover 6, the front cover 4, the second cover 3, and the first cover 2, exposing the top of the cardboard box 1. Remove the driven plate 8 from the first limiting block 21. At this time, the active plate 9 can slide freely within the second limiting block 22. Fold the active plate 9 along the crease and pass it through the slot of the second limiting block 22 and the opening of the cardboard box 1, completely exposing the outside of the cardboard box 1. Bend the middle of the spring key 7 at a 90-degree angle along the crease of the spring key 7 to form an "L" shape. After folding the driven plate 8, the driven plate 8 first passes through the opening of the front box cover 4, and then through the opening of the back box cover 6. At this time, one end of the active plate 9 is fixed to the outside of the carton body 1, and one end of the driven plate 8 passes through the openings of the front box cover 4 and the back box cover 6 and is located outside the back box cover 6. Close the top of the carton body 1 again to ensure that the top box cover is completely sealed. Press the active plate 9, and the spring key 7 forming the L-shaped structure will push out the driven plate 8. After releasing, it will automatically reset by gravity, simulating the random lifting and lowering effect of "whack-a-mole" to meet the play needs of pets.
