The packaging box 200 in this embodiment includes a lower cover 210 and an upper cover 220.

[0022] For details, please refer to the following: Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the disassembled structure of one embodiment of the packaging box of this application. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 The structural schematic diagram of the packaging box from another perspective in the embodiment shows that, optionally, the lower cover 210 in this embodiment includes a base plate 211, and a plurality of positioning posts 212 are provided on the base plate 211. The plurality of positioning posts 212 and the base plate 211 are an integral structure.

[0023] Optionally, in this embodiment, the entire material of the lower cover 210 can be a polystyrene (PS) film with a thickness of 0.8 to 1.0 mm and a Shore hardness ≥ 85 HD. The entire lower cover 210 is integrally hot-pressed.

[0024] Please continue reading. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bottom plate 211 of the lower cover 210 can be a rounded rectangle, with multiple positioning posts 212 located at the corners of the bottom plate 211. These positioning posts 212 are used to position the packaged protective shell 100. Optionally, there can be four positioning posts 212, each corresponding to a corner of the rectangular bottom plate 211, used for positioning the protective shell 100 at its four corners.

[0025] Optionally, the positioning posts 212 in this embodiment can all be L-shaped structures, with the outer surface of the bend in the L-shaped structure being an arc surface 2120. The radius of curvature of the arc surface 2120 is adapted to the inner rounded corner of the protective shell 100 being packaged. In a specific embodiment, the positioning post 212 is an L-shaped straight post with a radius of curvature of 6.7 mm, a length of 13.7 mm, a width of 4.0 mm, and a height of 6.0 mm.

[0026] The upper cover 220 is connected to the lower cover 210 and cooperates with the lower cover 210 to form an accommodating space, in which the packaged electronic device protective case 100 is located.

[0027] Alternatively, please continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the lower cover 210 also includes a baffle 213 integrally formed with the base plate 211. The baffle 213 is a circumferential structure and extends close to the edge of the base plate 211. Multiple positioning posts 212 are all located within the space enclosed by the baffle 213. The upper cover 220 is connected to the baffle 213 and together they enclose and form an accommodating space.

[0028] Optionally, in this embodiment, the upper cover 220 includes an integral top plate 221 and a connecting plate 222. The connecting plate 222 extends circumferentially near the edge of the top plate 221 and is connected to the baffle 213 of the lower cover 210.

[0029] Optionally, in this embodiment, the material of the top cover 220 can be a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film with a thickness of 0.6 to 0.8 mm. The material of the top cover 220 is transparent with a light transmittance of ≥90%, and the entire top cover 220 is formed by integral hot pressing.

[0030] Optionally, please refer to the following as well. Figures 3 to 6 , Figure 5 yes Figure 3 A magnified view of the local structure at point A. Figure 6 yes Figure 4 The enlarged schematic diagram of the partial structure at point B shows that, in this embodiment, the arc surface 2120 of the positioning post 212 is provided with a positioning protrusion 2121. The positioning protrusion 2121 is used to engage with the inner edge of the side of the packaged electronic device protective shell 100, thereby fixing the packaged electronic device protective shell 100. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of a protective shell according to an embodiment of this application. The protective shell 100 has an inwardly recessed engaging protrusion 110 on its side. The engaging protrusion 110 is used to engage with the side of an electronic device. In this embodiment, the positioning protrusion 2121 engages with the engaging protrusion 110 to achieve a locking mechanism, thus ensuring the protective shell 100 is in the thickness direction (…). Figure 2 The upper and lower covers 210 are positioned (in the direction of the middle arrow Z). When the protective shell 100 and the positioning protrusion 2121 are engaged, they can produce an elastic deformation of 0.1 to 0.3 mm, thereby maintaining fixation.

[0031] In this embodiment, the packaging box, by integrally molding the positioning protrusion 2121 onto the positioning post 212, has a vibration resistance that is more than 50% higher than that of traditional paper trays. The positioning post 212 and the positioning protrusion 2121 are molded together in one step, reducing processing steps.

[0032] Optionally, the positioning protrusion 2121 can be one or more, and can be a dot-shaped or strip-shaped structure, or a hemispherical structure. There can be multiple positioning protrusions 2121, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center of the arc surface 2120. The positioning protrusion 2121 can also be a strip-shaped structure that extends onto the arc surface 2120.
