Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigar packaging technology, and in particular to a split-type linkage lifting cigar packaging box. Background Technology

[0002] Cigars, as a high-end tobacco product, are made from dried and fermented tobacco. Cigars come in a variety of flavors and aromas, the most common being leather, spices such as cocoa / chocolate, peat / mousse / earth, coffee, nuts, apple, vanilla, honey, and peach, catering to diverse palates. With rising living standards, cigars have become a unique way for modern people to pursue a quality lifestyle, relieve stress, and find inspiration.

[0003] Today, the appeal of cigars to customers goes beyond just quality and price. Exquisite and innovative packaging is increasingly becoming a crucial factor in customer selection, with the quality and ease of use of the packaging playing a more significant role in sales. Existing cigar packaging boxes come in various types, with functional designs including moisture protection, impact resistance, sealing, and ease of handling. Due to the unique manufacturing process and structure of cigars, which require individual packaging and are larger in diameter and length than ordinary cigarettes, cigars are typically arranged individually horizontally within the box. Currently, the patented technologies related to cigar packaging boxes are as follows:

[0004] CN219970644U discloses a flip-top cigar box, including a rotatable cigar box composed of an upper box and a lower box, an inner box and a connecting plate disposed inside the cigar box. The inner box is disposed inside the lower box, and the connecting plate is connected to the inner box and the upper box on opposite sides. By rotating the upper box, the connecting plate can lift and rotate the inner box near the upper box, so as to display the cigars inside the inner box.

[0005] CN222583641U discloses a cigar packaging box with the ability to display electronic resources, including auxiliary components. The auxiliary components include a support ring, an arc-shaped rod, a slide groove, a pressure plate, a pressure column, a pressure sheet, a spring, a limiting post, a pin, and a box base. The support ring is fixedly connected to one end of the arc-shaped rod.

[0006] CN221554698U discloses an umbrella-style pull-out cigar box, which is a rectangular box with two layers. The front and rear walls of the box have steps between the upper and lower layers. The front wall of the lower layer of the box has a pull-out opening for an ashtray, which is fitted into the lower layer of the box. A sliding groove is installed on the central axis of the steps on the front and rear walls of the box, and a sliding bolt is slidably installed in the sliding groove. The lower end of the sliding bolt is connected to the upper surface of the ashtray. The left and right side walls of the upper layer of the box have pull-out openings, through which two packaging boxes are fitted. The top of the packaging boxes is open, and the inside has multiple partition grooves. The side walls of the two packaging boxes adjacent to each other near the front wall are hinged to one end of a support rod, and the other end of the two support rods is rotatably connected to the upper part of the sliding bolt.

[0007] As can be seen from the aforementioned patented technologies, while existing cigar packaging boxes have solved the problem of inconvenient cigar handling—for example, pull-out mechanisms can fully display the cigars, and one end of the inner box can be lifted and rotated to change the overall angle of the cigars—the cigars are placed in individual or large recesses within the box. While pulling out the box and changing the overall angle achieves the display function, it cannot change the relative positions of the entire row of cigars within the recess, nor can it change the relative positions of individual cigars with adjacent cigars. Furthermore, to prevent collisions between adjacent cigars and between cigars and the box during transportation, the gaps between adjacent cigars and between the ends of the cigars and the box are often extremely small. Therefore, when taking out cigars, the adjacent cigars and the edge of the box recesses cannot form a convenient space for handling. Combined with the cylindrical structure of the cigars themselves, the problem of inconvenient handling remains unresolved.

[0008] In conclusion, how to solve the problem of inconvenient cigar handling, achieve the dual effect of quick display and easy access, simplify the packaging box structure, reduce production costs, and improve the overall grade of the packaging box has become a pressing problem for technicians in the cigar packaging field. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a split-type linkage lifting cigar packaging box that is simple in structure, low in cost, and takes into account both quick display of cigars and easy handling.

[0010] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a split-type linkage lifting cigar packaging box, including a packaging box body with a accommodating cavity and an open top, formed by four side plates and a bottom plate, and two lids arranged opposite each other for opening and closing the packaging box body when rotated. An inner box body for placing and fixing cigars is provided in the accommodating cavity. A linkage lifting device is provided between the inner box body and the two lids, which synchronously drives the inner box body to slide up and extend out of the accommodating cavity along the inner side wall of the packaging box body when the two lids are rotated outward to open, and synchronously drives the inner box body to slide down and retract into the accommodating cavity along the inner side wall of the packaging box body when the two lids are rotated inward to close.

[0011] The aforementioned split-opening, linkage-lifting cigar box includes two sets of strip-shaped pulling components symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner box. The upper ends of the two sets of strip-shaped pulling components are fixed to the inner surfaces of the two lids, and the lower ends extend downward from between the inner box and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity and are fixed to the bottom of the inner box. Each of the two sets of strip-shaped pulling components is provided with a deformation adjustment part for synchronously pulling or pushing the inner box to rise and fall when the two lids are opened and closed.

[0012] The aforementioned split-opening, linkage-lifting cigar box includes a deformation adjustment section comprising a horizontally folded section along the width of the strip-shaped pulling member, forming a horizontal deformation zone that provides an upward synchronous pulling force to the inner box when the two lids are rotated outward to open, and a downward pushing force to the inner box when the two lids are rotated inward to close, as well as a downwardly inclined bending deformation zone connected to the horizontal deformation zone.

[0013] The aforementioned split-type linkage lifting cigar box has a guide block between the inner box body and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity for adjusting the stability of the inner box body during lifting. The guide block extends along the side wall of the inner box body, and the lower end of the strip-shaped pulling component extends downward from between the inner box body and the guide block and is fixed to the bottom of the inner box body.

[0014] In the aforementioned split-opening, linkage-lifting cigar box, the strip-shaped pulling component is a rigid cardboard extending along the side wall of the inner box. The upper end of the rigid cardboard is glued and fixed to the inner surface of the lid, and the lower end is glued and fixed to the bottom of the inner box. The rigid cardboard and the lid are folded upwards to form a first fold line and folded downwards to form a second fold line, respectively. The first and second fold lines are parallel. The horizontal deformation zone is formed between the first and second fold lines, and the bending deformation zone is formed between the second fold line and the bottom of the inner box.

[0015] In the aforementioned split-opening, linkage-lifting cigar box, the length of the rigid cardboard from the first fold line to the bottom of the inner box is less than or equal to the height of the accommodating cavity.

[0016] In the aforementioned split-opening, linkage-lifting cigar box, the distance from the first fold line to the top opening is 1 / 3 of the lid width, and the distance from the second fold line to the first fold line is 1 / 5 of the lid width.

[0017] The aforementioned split-type linkage lifting cigar packaging box includes an inner box body comprising a bottom plate, a left side plate, a right side plate, and front and rear side plates connecting the left and right side plates, as well as a strip box for packaging a single cigar. A boss structure for placing the strip box is provided on the bottom plate.

[0018] The aforementioned split-opening, linkage-lifting cigar box includes a boss structure comprising left and right bosses extending along the length of the left and right side panels, and a middle boss located between the left and right bosses. A first-layer placement area is formed between the left and right bosses and the left and right side panels, the left and right bosses form a second-layer placement area, a third-layer placement area is formed above the first-layer placement area, the middle boss forms a fourth-layer placement area, a fifth-layer placement area is formed above the second-layer placement area, and a sixth-layer placement area is formed above the fourth-layer placement area. The height of the left and right bosses is half the thickness of the box, and the distance between the middle boss and the left and right bosses is two-thirds the thickness of the box.

[0019] In the aforementioned split-opening, linkage-lifting cigar box, the tops of the front and rear side panels extend upwards to form an arc-shaped limiting plate for assisting in fixing the strip box.

[0020] The advantages of this double-opening, linkage-lifting cigar box are as follows: Through the relatively arranged lid, inner box, and linkage lifting device, the rotation and opening / closing of the lid synchronously drives the linkage lifting device. Under the action of the strip-shaped pulling component, the inner box is driven to rise and fall by the pulling force, horizontal thrust, and tilting thrust generated by the horizontal deformation zone and the downwardly inclined bending deformation zone connected to the horizontal deformation zone. By opening the lid and raising the inner box, and closing the lid and lowering the inner box, the cigars inside can be quickly displayed. Simultaneously, the inconsistent height of the raised structure allows the cigars to be staggered horizontally. The staggered stacked strip box allows for better display after opening the lid, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and achieving both convenient retrieval and display effects. Combined with the linkage lifting device, it further assists in quick and convenient retrieval, solving the problems of gaps between adjacent cigars and difficulty in removing cigars due to box obstruction in existing technologies. This invention simplifies the packaging box structure, reduces manufacturing costs, improves the quality and practicality of the packaging box, and is suitable for industrial-scale application.

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, a split-opening, linkage-lifting cigar packaging box includes a packaging box body 7 with a accommodating cavity 5 and an open top 6, formed by a front side panel 1, a rear side panel (opposite to the front side panel 1, not shown due to the angle of the attached drawing), a left side panel 2, a right side panel 3, and a bottom panel 4, and two lids 8 arranged opposite each other for opening and closing the packaging box body 7 when rotated. In order to improve the overall pressure resistance of the packaging box body 7, enhance the aesthetics and quality of the outer packaging, and avoid deformation and squeezing of the cigars caused by external forces, under the premise of saving costs and reducing production processes, in this utility model, the left side panel 2, right side panel 3, bottom panel 4, and two lids 8 are all made of a single piece of rigid cardboard, with a surface coating design to provide waterproof function. The packaging crease lines 9 are pressed out according to the size by a creasing machine, dividing the entire rigid cardboard into the left side panel 2, right side panel 3, bottom panel 4, and two lids 8, and then formed by a folding process. The two lids 8 are connected to the left side panel 2 and the right side panel 3 respectively through the packaging crease line 9. Compared with the traditional hinge connection method, this not only saves production costs and reduces process steps, but also makes the opening and closing of the lids 8 more sensitive and easier to operate.

[0029] like Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figures 6 and 7, an inner box 11 for placing and fixing cigars 10 is provided in the accommodating cavity 5. The inner box 11 includes a bottom plate 12, a left side plate 13, a right side plate 14, a front side plate 15 and a rear side plate 16 connecting the left side plate 13 and the right side plate 14, and a strip box 17 for packaging a single cigar 10. A boss structure 18 for placing the strip box 17 is provided on the bottom plate 12. The boss structure 18 includes a left boss 19 and a right boss 20 extending along the length direction of the left side plate 13 and the right side plate 14 on the bottom plate 12, and a middle boss 21 located between the left boss 19 and the right boss 20. The dimensions of the inner box 11 and the lengths of the left boss 19, the right boss 20 and the middle boss 21 can be actually set according to the length of different cigar specifications. A first-layer placement area 22 is formed between the left boss 19, the right boss 20 and the left side plate 13 and the right side plate 14 respectively. The left boss 19 and the right boss 20 form a second-layer placement area 23. A third-layer placement area 24 is formed above the first-layer placement area 22. The middle boss 21 forms a fourth-layer placement area 25. A fifth-layer placement area 26 is formed above the second-layer placement area 23. A sixth-layer placement area 27 is formed above the fourth-layer placement area 25.

[0030] This invention places cigars on the raised structure 18. The height of the left raised platform 19 and the right raised platform 20 is half the thickness of the strip box 17, and the height of the middle raised platform 21 from the left raised platform 19 and the right raised platform 20 is two-thirds the thickness of the strip box 17. Because the relative heights of the left raised platform 19, the right raised platform 20, and the middle raised platform 21 in the raised structure 18 are inconsistent, after the strip boxes 17 are stacked, adjacent strip boxes 17 are horizontally misaligned. When the two covers 8 are opened to take out the cigars, because the strip boxes 17 are cuboid in structure and are placed in a misaligned position, the fingers can easily grasp and remove the strip boxes 17, solving the problem of inconvenient cigar handling in traditional packaging boxes. At the same time, to better limit the stacked strip boxes 17 and prevent collisions during transportation, an arc-shaped limiting plate 28 extends upward from the top of the front side plate 15 and the rear side plate 16 to assist in fixing the strip boxes 17. Furthermore, the staggered arrangement of the stacked strip boxes allows for better display after opening the lid 8, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and achieving both convenient retrieval and effective display.

[0031] like Figure 3 , 4As shown in Figures 5 and 6, a linkage lifting device 29 is provided between the inner box 11 and the two lids 8. When the two lids 8 are rotated outward to open, the inner box 11 is simultaneously driven to slide upward along the inner wall of the packaging box body 7 to extend out of the receiving cavity 5; when the two lids 8 are rotated inward to close, the inner box 11 is simultaneously driven to slide downward along the inner wall of the packaging box body 7 to retract into the receiving cavity 5. The linkage lifting device 29 includes two sets of strip-shaped pulling components 30 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner box 11. The upper ends of the two sets of strip-shaped pulling components 30 are fixed to the inner surfaces of the two lids 8, and the lower ends extend downward from between the inner box 11 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 5 and are fixed to the bottom of the inner box. To improve the stability of the inner box 11 during the lifting and lowering process, a guide block 31 is provided between the inner box 11 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 5 to adjust the stability of the inner box 11 during the lifting and lowering process. The guide block 31 extends along the side wall of the inner box 11, and the lower end of the strip-shaped pulling member 30 extends downward from between the inner box 11 and the guide block 31 and is fixed to the bottom of the inner box 11.

[0032] The guide block 31 of this utility model can provide a lateral support force to the inner box 11 during the slow lifting and lowering process. When the inner box 11 is subjected to the outward tilting pulling force of the strip pulling component 30, it can counteract the outward lateral component force generated by the tilting pulling force, thereby reducing the friction between the inner box 11 and the guide block 31, making the lifting and lowering smoother and more stable. At the same time, the surface of the guide block 31 can be treated or special materials can be used to improve the surface smoothness, reduce the coefficient of friction, and improve its auxiliary performance.

[0033] On each of the two sets of strip-shaped pulling components 30, a deformation adjustment section 32 is provided for synchronously pulling or pushing the inner box 11 up and down when the two covers 8 are rotated to open and close. The deformation adjustment section 32 includes a horizontal deformation zone 33 formed by horizontally folding along the width direction of the strip-shaped pulling component 30, which provides an upward synchronous pulling force to the inner box 11 when the two covers 8 are rotated outward to open, and provides a downward pushing force to the inner box 11 when the two covers 8 are rotated inward to close, and a downwardly inclined bending deformation zone 34 connected to the horizontal deformation zone 33.

[0034] To reduce production costs, the strip-shaped pulling component 30 in this utility model is a rigid cardboard extending along the side wall of the inner box 11. The upper end of the rigid cardboard is glued to the inner surface of the cover 8 with adhesive, and the lower end is glued to the bottom 35 of the inner box 11 with adhesive 36. The glued parts of the rigid cardboard and the cover 8 are folded upward to form a first fold line 37 and folded downward to form a second fold line 38, respectively. The first fold line 37 and the second fold line 38 are arranged in parallel. A horizontal deformation zone 33 is formed between the first fold line 37 and the second fold line 38, and a bending deformation zone 34 is formed between the second fold line 38 and the bottom of the inner box 11. When opening and closing the lid 8, in order to achieve simultaneous linkage and provide a more sensitive and greater pulling and pushing force to the inner box 11, driving the inner box 11 to rise and fall rapidly, the lever principle is utilized. The distance from the first fold line 37 to the top opening 6 is 1 / 3 of the width of the lid 8, and the distance from the second fold line 38 to the first fold line 37 is 1 / 5 of the width of the lid 8. The width of the lid 8 refers to the dimension indicated vertically upwards when the lid 8 is open.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, with both lids 8 closed, the rigid cardboard is glued and fixed to the bottom of the lid 8 and the inner box 11 at its upper and lower ends, respectively. At this time, the rigid cardboard is vertically taut on both sides of the inner box 11. In this invention, to best protect the cigars inside the inner box 11 and prevent damage from external forces, the optimal solution is that the length of the vertical segment of the rigid cardboard from the first fold line 37 to the bottom 35 of the inner box 11 is less than or equal to the height of the accommodating cavity 5. When the length is less than the height (i.e., depth) of the accommodating cavity 5, the bottom 35 of the inner box 11 is removed from the bottom of the accommodating cavity 5. Due to the gravity of the inner box 11, the inner box 11 is suspended in mid-air, and the rigid cardboard is vertically taut. This suspended bottom structure provides better shockproof protection for the cigars. Simultaneously, the vertical tautness also allows the lids 8 to close automatically due to the gravity of the inner box 11, achieving quick and effortless lid closure.

[0036] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, nor is the present utility model limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should be protected by the present utility model.
