[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention will describe the above technical solution in detail through the following embodiments:

[0029] A foldable food carton with a handle, comprising:

[0030] Box 1 is composed of a base plate 11 and a side plate 12, and is made of a single piece of cardboard folded together. The top and outer sides of the side plate 12 are covered with a lid 2. The lid 2 includes a fixing part and movable parts on the front and rear sides of the fixing part. The movable parts can be bent up and down.

[0031] The box body 1 can be made of corrugated cardboard or cardboard folded together, and the bottom plate 11 is a whole piece of cardboard, which has better load-bearing performance than ordinary interlocking flooring.

[0032] The lid 2 is also made from a single piece of cardboard folded together. The material is the same as that of the box body 1.

[0033] Handle 3 is composed of a lifting piece 31 and a fixing piece. The fixing piece fixes the handle 3 between the side plate 12 and the box cover 2 from the inside of the side plate 12 and the outside of the fixing part, and realizes the fixation of the side plate 12 and the fixing part.

[0034] Handle 3 is made of biodegradable plastic, meeting environmental protection requirements.

[0035] The fixed part includes a top plate 21, which is connected to the movable part through a first bending part 22 at the front and rear. Connecting plates 24 are provided on the left and right sides of the top plate 21, and the connecting plates 24 cover the top of the left and right sides of the side plate 12.

[0036] The top plate 21 serves as a central support.

[0037] The movable part includes a rotating cover plate 23. The front side and left and right sides of the bottom of the rotating cover plate 23 are provided with a retaining plate 25. The end of the retaining plate 25 and the connecting plate 24 are provided with a movable notch 26.

[0038] The clamping plate 25 is used to cover the top of the outer side of the side plate 12, and uses friction to fix the rotating cover plate 23, and provides a certain anti-bending ability for the rotating cover plate 23, so that the rotating cover plate 23 can only rotate around the first bending part 22.

[0039] The lifting tab 31 is inserted from above the top plate 21 at both ends and extends between the connecting plate 24 and the side plate 12. The end of the lifting tab 31 is provided with a first insertion hole 32.

[0040] The fixing piece includes a first reinforcing piece 33. A first buckle 35 is vertically provided on the middle of one side of the first reinforcing piece 33. The first buckle 35 passes through the connecting plate 24, is inserted into the first insertion hole 32, and is engaged with the lifting piece 31.

[0041] After the first latch 35 engages with the first insertion hole 32, the end of the lifting piece 31, the connecting plate 24, and the first reinforcing piece 33 form a whole. The lifting piece 31 can prevent the first latch 35 from moving axially.

[0042] Four second buckles 36 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first buckle 35. The length of the second buckle 36 is greater than that of the first buckle 35. The head of the second buckle 36 extends through the connecting plate 24 and the side plate 12 into the interior of the box body 1.

[0043] The second buckle 36 makes the side plate 12, the connecting plate 24 and the first reinforcing piece 33 form a whole.

[0044] When the lifting tab 31 is subjected to an upward pulling force, the pulling force of the lifting tab 31 will be transmitted from the first buckle 35 to the first reinforcing piece 33 and the lid 2. The first reinforcing piece 33 can transmit the pulling force to the lid 2 and the box body 1 through the second buckle 36, so that the pulling force is distributed and the box body 1 and the lid 2 are deformed as much as possible.

[0045] The fixing piece also includes a second reinforcing piece 34, which has a second insertion hole 37, and a second buckle 36 engages with the second insertion hole 37.

[0046] The second reinforcing piece 34 is used to prevent the second buckle 36 from moving axially, and at the same time can distribute the pulling force of the second buckle 36 to the side plate 12 to prevent the side plate 12 from being deformed by the insertion part of the second buckle 36.

[0047] The simultaneous securing of multiple second clips 36 can improve the peel strength of the first reinforcing piece 33 and the second reinforcing piece 34, and prevent accidental disengagement.

[0048] The design of inserting the lifting piece 31 between the connecting plate 24 and the side plate 12, together with the snap-fit ​​fixing of the first reinforcing piece 33 and the second reinforcing piece 34, can prevent the lifting piece 31 from being subjected to excessive tension and thus detaching from the first buckle 35.

[0049] Working principle:

[0050] Insert both ends of the lifting piece 31 from above the top plate 21, then insert the first buckle 35 through the connecting plate 24 into the first insertion hole 32 and engage it with the lifting piece 31. This completes the fixing of the lifting piece 31, the connecting plate 24, and the first reinforcing piece 33.

[0051] The head of the second buckle 36 extends through the connecting plate 24 and the side plate 12 into the interior of the box body 1 and engages with the second reinforcing piece 34, thus completing the fixation of the box body 1, the lid 2 and the handle 3.

[0052] At this point, the box body 1, the lid 2, and the handle 3 cannot be separated.

[0053] Rotating the cover plate 23 upwards opens part of the box cover 2, making it convenient to store objects in the box body 1 or take objects out of the box body 1.

[0054] Rotating the cover plate 23 downwards can close the box 1.

[0055] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
