Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of packaging technology, and in particular relates to a reinforced structure for carton flaps. Background Technology
[0002] In the packaging industry, cardboard boxes are widely used due to their low cost and ease of processing. The flap, as a key component of a cardboard box, serves to seal and protect the contents. However, conventional flaps are often simply a combination of face paper, core paper, and liner paper. Their materials and structure limit their strength. During transportation and storage, the flaps are easily deformed or damaged by pressure from items, external impacts, or repeated opening and closing, reducing the box's sealing performance and lifespan, and failing to effectively protect the contents. Furthermore, insufficient reinforcement at the connection between the flap and the box body (creases) makes them prone to breakage due to fatigue from opening and closing. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a reinforced structure for carton flaps. By setting a reinforcing plate between the face paper and the core paper, and the reinforcing plate being an epoxy resin board, the high strength and deformation resistance of the epoxy resin board are utilized to enhance the overall bending and compression resistance of the flap, thereby extending the service life of the flap.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A reinforced flap structure for a cardboard box includes flaps located on the left and right sides of the upper end of the cardboard box body. The flaps are movably connected to the cardboard box body. Lap plates are movably connected to the front and rear sides of the upper end of the cardboard box body. Each flap includes a face paper, a core paper, and a liner paper. The core paper is located inside the face paper, and the liner paper is located inside the core paper. A reinforcing plate, made of epoxy resin, is bonded between the face paper and the core paper using adhesive. A V-groove is formed at the fold on the inner side of the bottom end of the reinforcing plate, and the bottom end of the reinforcing plate at the V-groove serves as a connection point. The connecting part is attached to the face paper of the carton body with adhesive. A reinforcing plate, which is made of epoxy resin, is placed between the face paper and the core. The high strength and deformation resistance of the epoxy resin enhance the overall bending and compression resistance of the flap, thereby extending the service life of the flap. A V-groove is formed at the fold on the inner side of the bottom of the reinforcing plate to form the connecting part. The connecting part is attached to the face paper of the carton body with adhesive. The V-groove disperses the stress at the fold when the flap is opened and closed, reduces fatigue damage, and ensures the reliability of the connection.
[0006] Furthermore, the paper core is a honeycomb paperboard. The honeycomb structure of the paper core can distribute the force and improve the support and compression resistance of the flap.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting a reinforcing plate between the face paper and the paper core, and the reinforcing plate is made of epoxy resin board, the high strength and deformation resistance of the epoxy resin board are utilized to enhance the overall bending and compression resistance of the flap, thereby extending the service life of the flap. A V-shaped groove is opened at the fold on the inner side of the bottom end of the reinforcing plate to form a connecting part. The connecting part is pasted to the face paper of the carton body with adhesive. The V-shaped groove disperses the stress at the fold when the flap is opened and closed, reduces fatigue damage, and ensures the reliability of the connection. The paper core is made of honeycomb cardboard, and its honeycomb structure can distribute the force and improve the support and compression resistance of the flap. Attached Figure Description

[0014] See appendix Figure 1-3As shown, a cardboard box flap reinforcement structure includes flaps 3 located on the left and right sides of the upper end of the cardboard box body 1; the flaps 3 are movably connected to the cardboard box body 1, and the front and rear sides of the upper end of the cardboard box body 1 are movably connected to the flaps 2. The flaps 3 include a face paper 31, a paper core 32, and a liner paper 33. The paper core 32 is located inside the face paper 31, and the liner paper 33 is located inside the paper core 32. A reinforcing plate 4 is glued between the face paper 31 and the paper core 32 by an adhesive. The reinforcing plate 4 is an epoxy resin board. A V-groove 6 is formed at the fold on the inner side of the bottom end of the reinforcing plate 4. The bottom end of the reinforcing plate 4 at the V-groove 6 is a connecting... The connecting part 5 is attached to the face paper 31 of the carton body 1 by adhesive. A reinforcing plate 4 is set between the face paper 31 and the paper core 32. The reinforcing plate 4 is made of epoxy resin board. By utilizing the high strength and deformation resistance of epoxy resin board, the overall bending and compression resistance of the flap 3 is enhanced, thereby extending the service life of the flap 3. A V-shaped groove is opened at the fold on the inner side of the bottom end of the reinforcing plate 4 to form the connecting part 5. The connecting part 5 is attached to the face paper of the carton body 1 by adhesive. The V-shaped groove 6 disperses the stress at the fold when the flap 3 is opened and closed, reduces fatigue damage, and ensures the reliability of the connection.
[0015] The paper core 32 is a honeycomb paperboard. The honeycomb structure of the paper core 32 can distribute the force and improve the support and compression resistance of the flap 3.
[0016] Working principle: The flap 3 is composed of a base layer consisting of a face paper 31, a paper core 32, and an inner paper 33. A reinforcing plate 4 is pasted between the face paper 31 and the paper core 32. The reinforcing plate 4 is made of epoxy resin board. By utilizing the high strength and deformation resistance of epoxy resin board, the overall bending and compression resistance of the flap 3 is enhanced. The paper core 32 is made of honeycomb cardboard. Its honeycomb structure can distribute the force and further improve the support and compression resistance of the flap 3. A V-shaped groove is opened at the fold on the bottom inner side of the reinforcing plate 4 to form a connecting part 5. The connecting part 5 is pasted to the face paper of the carton body 1 with adhesive. The V-shaped groove 6 disperses the stress at the fold when the flap 3 is opened and closed, reduces fatigue damage, and ensures the reliability of the connection. During the opening and closing operation, the structure of the V-shaped groove 6 allows the fold to bend flexibly, extending the service life of the flap 3.
