Detailed Implementation
[0017] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and related examples. The embodiments of this utility model are not limited to the following examples, and this utility model relates to relevant necessary components in this technical field, which should be regarded as well-known technology in this technical field and can be known and mastered by those skilled in this technical field.
[0018] A cardboard box capable of playing product information includes a cardboard box body 1 and a sound source mechanism 2. The cardboard box body 1 is composed of several top cover plates 11, side panels 12, and several bottom cover plates 13. The top cover plates 11 are located on the top of the side panels 12, and the bottom cover plates 13 are located on the bottom of the side panels 12. The side panels 12 are connected end to end, forming a hollow product cavity inside the cardboard box body 1.
[0019] The sound source mechanism 2 is located inside the product cavity and closely attached to one side of the side panel 12. The sound source mechanism 2 includes the following structure: a housing 21, which is hollow inside and has a power supply structure 22, a reed switch 23, and a playback structure 24. The power supply structure 22, the reed switch 23, and the playback structure 24 are electrically connected in sequence. The top of the housing 21 has a trigger structure 25. The trigger structure 25 has magnetism on one side near the reed switch 23 to open or close the reed switch 23, and the other side is fixedly connected to the inside of one of the top cover plates 11.
[0020] This utility model discloses a cardboard box that automatically plays product information after being opened, as shown in the reference. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3The carton mainly consists of a carton body 1 and a sound source mechanism 2. The carton body 1 is made of corrugated cardboard. In the common carton manufacturing process, the corrugated cardboard is cut, slotted, folded, and then fixed at both ends with nails or adhesives to form a carton body 1 with a cube or cuboid shape. The carton body 1 consists of four top cover plates 11, one side panel 12, and four bottom cover plates 13. The side panel 12 forms a top opening and a bottom opening at the top and bottom of the carton body 1, respectively. The top cover plate 11 is located at the edge of the top opening and is integrally formed with the side panel 12. The four top cover plates 11 are folded relative to each other to seal the top opening. The bottom cover plate 13 is located at the edge of the bottom opening and is integrally formed with the side panel 12. The four bottom cover plates 13 are folded relative to each other to seal the bottom opening, thereby forming a relatively sealed product cavity inside the carton body 1, which contains the corresponding product.
[0021] The sound source mechanism 2 is mainly used to play product information, primarily including precautions for product use and introductions to standard and other special functions. Within the sound source mechanism 2, the power supply structure 22 uses a button battery or similar structure that can store electrical energy, providing power to the playback structure 24. The playback structure 24 consists of a memory card and a speaker that are electrically connected. The memory card stores audio information related to the product, while the speaker plays the audio from the memory card. The reed switch 23 is mainly used to control the connection and disconnection of the circuit between the power supply structure 22 and the playback structure 24. When the circuit is connected, the power supply structure 22 provides power to the playback structure 24 and plays product-related information.
[0022] Furthermore, the reed switch 23 preferably adopts a commonly used normally closed reed switch. In the reset state, the two reeds inside the normally closed reed switch are in contact with each other under elastic action and are in a closed state, connecting the circuit between the power supply structure 22 and the playback structure 24. When an external magnetic field approaches, the two reeds are magnetized and have the same magnetic poles. The repulsive force generated by the magnetic poles is greater than the elastic force of the reeds and causes the two reeds to separate, thereby putting the reed switch in an open state. The trigger structure 25 consists of a trigger cover plate 251 and a magnetic block 252, which triggers... One side of the cover plate 251 is hinged to the edge of the top of the outer shell 21 near the side panel 12. One side of the trigger cover plate 251 is fixedly connected to the inner side of one of the top cover plates 11. The trigger cover plate 251 and the top cover plate 11 can be fixedly connected by applying adhesive. The magnetic block 252 is fixedly connected to the side of the trigger cover plate 251 away from the top cover plate 11. The magnetic reed switch 23 is located on the top of the inner side of the outer shell 21. After the bottom cover plate 13 of the carton body 1 is folded over and fixed to the bottom opening, the bottom of the sound source mechanism 2 abuts against the inner side of one of the bottom cover plates 13.
[0023] After the trigger structure 25 adopts the above structure, when the trigger cover 251 of the trigger structure 25 covers the top of the outer shell 21, one of the magnetic poles of the magnetic block 252 approaches the position where the two reeds in the reed switch 23 are in contact with each other, so that the two reeds are magnetized to the same magnetism and repel each other. Since the trigger cover 251 is fixedly connected to one of the top cover plates 11, when the carton body 1 is closed, the trigger structure 25 will cover the top of the outer shell 21 and make the reed switch 23 in the open state. When the carton body 1 is opened, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic block 252 leaves the reed switch 23, and the two reeds in the reed switch 23 no longer have magnetism and re-contact each other under the action of elasticity, so that the reed switch 23 is connected. At this time, the circuit between the power supply structure 22 and the playback structure 24 is connected, and the playback structure 24 plays the product information through the speaker.
[0024] Based on the working principle of the sound source mechanism 2, when a consumer purchases a product packaged in a cardboard box using this utility model, and lifts the top cover 11 during the unpacking process, the top cover 11 will cause the trigger structure 25 to swing and the magnetic field generated by the magnetic block 252 to disengage from the reed switch 23, thereby closing the reed switch 23 and connecting the circuit between the power supply structure 22 and the playback structure 24. The speaker will then be powered on and play relevant product information, allowing consumers to understand the precautions and functions of the product during use through the audio played during the unpacking process. This helps prevent product damage caused by improper use environment or method, and also allows them to understand the product's regular functions and other special functions. In subsequent use, consumers can experience the complete functions of the product according to their personal needs.
[0025] As one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3The outer shell 21 has fixing buckles 26 on both opposite sides. One end of the fixing buckle 26 is embedded inside the outer shell 21, and the other end extends outside the outer shell 21 and abuts against the inner side of the side panel 12. A return spring 27 is provided between the fixing buckle 26 and the outer shell 21. The sound source mechanism 2 can be more securely fixed inside the carton body 1 by the fixing buckles 26. Under the action of external force, the fixing buckle 26 can compress the return spring 27 and retract completely into the outer shell 21. After the external force is removed, the return spring 27 will release elastic potential energy and push the fixing buckle 26 to move outward from the outer shell 21. Based on the above structure and the original The sound source mechanism 2 is placed on one side of the product cavity after the fixing buckle 26 is pressed by external force to retract into the outer shell 21. The reset spring 27 pushes the fixing buckle 26 so that the ends of the fixing buckles 26 on both sides of the outer shell 21 abut against the inner walls of the opposite sides of the carton body 1. The friction between the inner wall of the carton body 1 and the fixing buckle 26 prevents the sound source mechanism 2 from moving in the product cavity and prevents the sound source mechanism 2 from being displaced during the carton transportation. When the user opens the carton, the trigger structure 25 cooperates normally with the reed switch 23 and causes the playback structure 24 to play audio introducing product information.
[0026] As one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The bottom of the fixing buckle 26 is provided with a compression slope 28, the surface of which is inclined towards the outside of the outer shell 21. After the fixing buckle 26 adopts the above structure, during the installation and fixing of the sound source mechanism 2 and the carton body 1, the compression slope 28 can be used to slowly insert the sound source mechanism 2 into the product cavity from the top opening along one side of the side panel 12. During the insertion of the sound source mechanism 2, the compression slope 28 at the bottom of the fixing buckle 26 will abut against the top edge of the side panel 12, thereby slowly pushing the fixing buckle 26 to retract into the outer shell 21, so that the sound source mechanism 2 can be completely inserted into the product cavity and the installation of the sound source mechanism 2 can be completed, improving the convenience of installing and fixing the sound source mechanism 2. Since the surface of the corrugated cardboard is relatively rough, the elasticity of the return spring 27 will make the end of the fixing buckle 26 tightly adhere to the inside of the side panel 12, and prevent the sound source mechanism 2 from moving horizontally or upward. The bottom of the sound source mechanism 2 abuts against the bottom cover plate 13 and cannot move downward, thereby fixing the sound source mechanism 2 inside the carton body 1.
[0027] In summary, this utility model discloses a cardboard box that automatically plays product information after being opened. During the opening process, the top cover 11 of the cardboard box is lifted, which causes the trigger structure 25 to swing. The trigger structure 25 disengages from the reed switch 23, causing the reed switch 23 to close and the circuit between the power supply structure 22 and the playback structure 24 to be connected. The power supply structure 22 provides power to the playback structure 24, enabling the playback structure 24 to work and play audio introducing product information. Users can learn more about the precautions and functions of the products in the cardboard box through the audio.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
