[0002] With the booming development of the consumer market, the importance of product packaging has become increasingly prominent, and the demand for packaging boxes has shown a continuous upward trend. In the physical retail sector, brands are placing higher demands on the design, materials, and functions of packaging boxes to enhance product appeal, leading to a growing demand for personalized and high-end packaging boxes. Furthermore, the consumption growth in various niche markets such as gifts, food, and electronic products has made the role of packaging boxes in protecting goods, conveying brand value, and improving user experience increasingly crucial, driving the continued expansion of market demand for packaging boxes.
[0003] Most packaging boxes on the market today use a sealed design at the opening or use a tongue-and-groove insert to secure the lid. Users need to use tools or their hands to open the lid, making this type of packaging inconvenient for users. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a packaging box that addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by solving the problem that the lid of the packaging box is difficult to open.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this application are as follows:
[0006] In one aspect of this application, a packaging box is provided, including a lid and a box body with a cavity. An opening communicating with the cavity is provided on the top of the box body. The lid is fitted onto the top of the box body to fit the opening. A toggle part is provided on the first side of the lid. When the lid closes the opening, the toggle part is exposed on the front side panel of the box body relative to the packaging box.
[0007] Optionally, a notch is provided at the top of the front panel of the box body, located around the opening. When the box lid closes the opening, the actuating part is located at the notch and exposed relative to the packaging box through the notch.
[0008] Optionally, a tongue is provided on the first side of the lid. When the lid is closed, the tongue is inserted into the cavity of the box body through the opening, and the tongue fits against the inner side of the front panel and covers the notch.
[0009] Optionally, a break is provided at the connection between the cover and the tongue, and the actuating part is located at the break.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the various features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and the combined embodiments are still within the protection scope of this application.
[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0028] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this application is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on this application. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0029] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.
[0030] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0031] Currently, to ensure a tight seal when the lid of a packaging box is closed, a latch is typically attached to the side of the lid near the front panel. This latch is inserted into the box cavity to secure the lid. Alternatively, some packaging boxes use glue or tape to directly attach the lid to the box. When a user needs to open the box, they need to hold the box with one hand while using the fingers of the other hand to reach into the box through the latch's insertion point and pry it open. This requires two hands, making it inconvenient for the user to open the box immediately. Furthermore, because the gap where the latch is inserted is relatively small, inserting fingers into this gap can easily damage the packaging box. Therefore, to solve the above problems, this application proposes a new type of packaging box.
[0032] In one aspect of this application, a packaging box 100 is provided, including a box lid 110 and a box body 120 having a cavity 121. An opening 122 communicating with the cavity 121 is provided on the top of the box body 120. The box lid 110 is fitted to the top of the box body 120 to cooperate with the opening 122. A toggle part 112 is provided on the first side 111 of the box lid 110. When the box lid 110 closes the opening 122, the toggle part 112 is exposed on the front side plate 123 of the box body 120 relative to the packaging box 100.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the packaging box 100 includes a lid 110 and a body 120. An opening 122 is provided at the top of the body 120 to allow the internal cavity 121 of the body 120 to communicate with the outside, facilitating the insertion of items into the cavity 121 through the opening 122. The top of the body 120 can be understood as the end facing away from the ground when the body 120 is placed on the ground. The body 120 is used in conjunction with the lid 110; for example, the lid 110 is placed on top of the body 120, allowing the lid 110 to close through the opening 122 at the top of the body 120. A toggle part 112 is provided on the first side 111 of the lid 110. When the lid 110 closes the opening 122, the toggle part 112 is exposed at the front side panel 123 of the box body 120, making it convenient for the user's fingers to directly contact and toggle the toggle part 112 from the outside. It should be noted that the covering area of the lid 110 is almost the same as the area of the opening 122. When the lid 110 closes the opening 122, the box body 120 is almost completely isolated from the outside.
[0034] When items are placed into the box 120, the lid 110 covers the opening 122 of the box 120, protecting the items inside. At this time, the actuating part 112 is exposed outside the box 120. When it is necessary to open the box 100, the user grips the side wall of the box 120 with one hand, with fingers resting on the front panel 123. By pushing the actuating part 112 upwards, the lid 110 connected to the actuating part 112 can be opened. This increases the convenience of opening the box 100 and prevents damage during opening.
[0035] In some embodiments, the actuating part 112, in addition to being exposed relative to the packaging box 100, may also protrude outward relative to the front side panel 123 of the packaging box 100, making it convenient for the user to toggle with their finger. It should be noted that the area of the actuating part 112 protruding from the packaging box 100 only needs to be large enough for the finger to touch when pushing upward, and it does not need to be too large, nor will it affect the stacking of the packaging box 100 during storage.
[0036] In some embodiments, the shape of the toggle part 112 may be rectangular, trapezoidal or circular, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0037] Optionally, a notch 124 located around the opening 122 is provided on the top of the front panel 123 of the box body 120. When the box cover 110 closes the opening 122, the actuating part 112 is located at the notch 124 and is exposed relative to the packaging box 100 through the notch 124.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, a notch 124 is provided at the top of the front panel 123 of the box body 120. The notch 124 communicates with the opening 122 at the top of the box body 120. When the lid 110 closes the opening 122 to seal the box body 120, the actuating part 112 is correspondingly positioned to the notch 124. It should be noted that the corresponding positioning here means that the position of the actuating part 112 on the lid 110 corresponds to the position of the notch 124 on the front panel 123 of the box body 120. When the lid 110 closes the opening 122, the actuating part 112 is located at the position of the notch 124 and protrudes to the outside of the box body 120.
[0039] When it is necessary to open the packaging box 100, grip the box body 120 using the method described above. At this time, the fingers rest against the front side panel 123 of the box body 120. By moving the fingers upward, the fingers enter the notch 124 and continue upward until the lever 112 is pushed, thus opening the box lid 110 connected to the lever 112. The notch 124 is designed to facilitate contact between the fingers and the lever 112, making it more convenient for the user to open the packaging box 100.
[0040] Optionally, a tongue 113 is also provided on the first side 111 of the lid 110. When the lid 110 closes the opening 122, the tongue 113 is inserted into the cavity 121 of the box body 120 through the opening 122, and the tongue 113 fits against the inner side of the front side panel 123 and covers the notch 124.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a tongue 113 is also provided on the first side 111 where the actuating part 112 is provided. When the lid 110 covers the box body 120, the tongue 113 is inserted into the cavity 121 of the box body 120 by adhering to the inner side of the front side plate 123 of the box body 120. It should be noted that the inner side here refers to the side located inside the box body 120 relative to the external environment. At the same time, the tongue 113 can block the notch 124 from the inside of the box body 120 to prevent external debris from entering the box body 120. In addition, the presence of the tongue 113 can also fix the lid 110 so that the lid 110 fits the box body 120.
[0042] When it is necessary to open the packaging box 100, grip the box body 120 using the method described above. Move your fingers upward so that they enter the notch 124 and abut against the latch 113 located at the notch 124. Continue upward until you push the lever 112. Using the friction between your fingers and the latch 113, as well as the pushing force of the lever 112, you can open the box lid 110. By utilizing the lever 112, the notch 124, and the latch 113, the user can open the packaging box 100 more quickly and conveniently.
[0043] In some embodiments, the two ends of the tongue 113 on the side away from the cover 110 are rounded to facilitate the insertion of the tongue 113 into the cavity 121 through the opening 122.
[0044] Optionally, a break 114 is provided at the connection between the cover 110 and the tongue 113, and the actuating part 112 is located at the break 114.
[0045] Specifically, the packaging box (100) is made of cardboard or corrugated cardboard; no specific restrictions are made here. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the lid 110 and the tongue 113 are made of the same cardboard. The cardboard is folded, forming part of the lid 110 and part of the tongue 113. A cut 114 is made at the junction of the lid 110 and the tongue 113. The cardboard at the cut 114 is disconnected from the rest of the cardboard, thus forming a sliding part 112. When the tongue 113 is unfolded so that it and the lid 110 are on the same horizontal plane, the sliding part 112 can close the cut 114. It should be understood that the sliding part 112 is formed by making a cut 114 at the junction of the lid 110 and the tongue 113, causing the cardboard at the cut 114 to fold upwards and expose itself to the box body 120. The sliding part 112 can be placed on the first side 111 of the lid 110 without the need for additional materials or connectors. The arrangement of the actuating part 112 reduces the use of materials and avoids the cumbersome operation of connecting it to the first side 111 of the housing 120 using connectors.
[0046] Optionally, the notch 124 is triangular in shape.
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the notch 124 is designed as a triangle. The hypotenuse of the triangle guides the finger or fingertip to apply force, making it easier to apply force than a rectangular or semi-circular notch 124 and more adaptable to the finger. The actuating part 112 is located on the side where the triangular notch 124 connects to the opening 122. When the finger moves along the notch 124 towards the actuating part 112, the closer it is to the actuating part 112, the larger the area of the opening 122 of the triangular notch 124 becomes. Optionally, the actuating part 112 is located near the side adjacent to the first side 111.
[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the actuating part 112 is located on the first side 111 near the third side 116. The notch 124 is correspondingly located to the actuating part 112; therefore, the notch 124 is also located on the top of the front panel 123 of the housing 120 near the right side panel 127. This arrangement is more in line with the characteristics of human fingers. Because the thumb is shorter than the other four fingers, placing it at the edge makes it easier for the thumb to push the actuating part 112 upwards.
[0049] In some embodiments, the actuating part 112 may also be provided on the first side 111 near the fourth side 117, and the notch 124 is provided correspondingly to the actuating part 112.
[0050] In some embodiments, two actuating parts 112 are provided, which can be respectively located at both ends of the first side 111 near the edge. Similarly, two notches 124 are provided corresponding to the actuating parts 112, respectively located at the top of the front side panel 123 near both ends. This arrangement allows the user to open the lid 110 with their right hand when their left hand is busy, and with their left hand when their right hand is busy. This greatly improves the convenience for the user in actual use.
[0051] Optionally, the second side 115 of the lid 110 is connected to the rear side panel 125 of the box body 120, the first side 111 of the lid 110 is opposite to the second side 115 of the lid 110, and the front side panel 123 of the box body 120 is opposite to the rear side panel 125 of the box body 120.
[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the front panel 123 and rear panel 125 of the box body 120 are positioned opposite each other. The first side 111 and second side 115 of the lid 110 are positioned opposite each other, that is, the actuating part 112 is positioned opposite the second side 115. The second side 115 of the lid 110 is connected to the rear panel 125 of the box body 120. Therefore, the first side 111 of the lid 110 is fitted to the front panel 123 via a latch 113. This arrangement conforms to the user's habit of opening the lid 110. Meanwhile, the toggle part 112 and the notch 124 make it easy for users to confirm whether it is the front, back, left or right side of the packaging box 100. When it is necessary to open the packaging box 100, simply position the side with the toggle part 112 and the notch 124 (i.e. the outer side of the front panel 123) towards the human body, and at the same time, position the lid 110 away from the ground. Then, you can directly grasp the packaging box 100, use your fingers to press against the tongue 113 through the notch 124 and push the toggle part 112 upward to open the lid 110.
[0053] In some embodiments, the connection between the second side 115 of the lid 110 and the rear side panel 125 of the box body 120 can be a folding connection (one-piece molding), a snap-on connection, a tie-on connection, or an adhesive connection, and the specific connection method is not limited.
[0054] Optionally, side ears 128 are provided at the opening 122 of the box body 120, which are connected to the left side plate 126 and the right side plate 127 of the box body 120 respectively. When the box cover 110 closes the opening 122, the side ears 128 are located on the side of the box cover 110 near the cavity 121.
[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, two side ears 128 connected to the left side panel 126 and the right side panel 127 cover the openings 122. The lid 110 is then placed on the side ears 128, and the latch 113 connected to the first side 111 of the lid 110 is inserted into the box body 120 to achieve a seal. The side ears 128 cross to form a physical latch, preventing the lid 110 from popping open during transportation or stacking, thus protecting the contents. For example, the side ears 128 of food packaging often fit tightly to prevent air leakage or moisture absorption.
[0056] Optionally, the apex angle of notch 124 is set to A, where 100°≤A≤120°.
[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the obtuse-angled triangular notch 124 provides a wider ramp, which is more conducive to the fit between the thumb and the tongue 113. During repeated opening and closing, the obtuse-angled notch 124 distributes stress more evenly (the acute angle vertex is more likely to become the starting point of damage), extending the life of the packaging. At the same time, the obtuse-angled notch 124 can reduce localized pressure (especially beneficial for the elderly or users with short nails). An acute-angled triangle may cause stress concentration on the nail, making it difficult to contact the tongue 113 and potentially causing cuts to the finger.
[0058] Optionally, when the lid 110 closes the opening 122, the distance H between the apex of the notch 124 and the actuating part 112 is 5mm≤H≤10mm.
[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the height of the triangular notch 124 is set between 5 mm and 10 mm. For users with long nails, the 5 mm height allows them to easily reach the tongue 113 located at the notch 124. If the height is too small, it would be difficult for the user's thumb to reach the tongue 113 through the notch 124. The 10 mm height allows users without nails to open the case by reaching the tongue 113 with their fingertips and pushing the lever 112 upwards. The 5 mm to 10 mm setting is suitable for the thumb thickness of most users, ensuring comfortable operation for users with different hand shapes.
[0060] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
