[0016] 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.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution: A food packaging box with music playback function includes a box body 1 and a box lid 2. The box body 1 and the box lid 2 are connected by a hinge structure. A music playback component 3 is provided inside the box body 1, and a tray structure 4 is embedded inside the music playback component 3. An infrared transmitter 5 and an infrared receiver 6 are respectively provided on the top left side of the music playback component 3, and both the infrared transmitter 5 and the infrared receiver 6 are connected to the music playback component 3 by wires. The music playback component 3 includes a decorative panel 31 and a base plate 32. Mounting brackets 33 are attached to both sides of the bottom of the decorative panel 31, and speakers 34 pass through the front and rear sides of the mounting brackets 33. A controller 36 is attached between the two mounting brackets 33. A rechargeable battery 35 is attached to the rear side of the top of the base plate 32. The rechargeable battery 35 and the speakers 34 are connected to the controller 36 via wires.

[0018] In this embodiment: When the lid 2 is opened via the music playback component 3, the blocking relationship between the infrared transmitter 5 and the infrared receiver 6 is changed because a baffle is provided inside the lid 2 at the position between them (blocked when closed, conducting when open). This triggers the music playback component 3 to operate. The controller 36 retrieves audio from the storage unit, and the audio decoding and power amplifier circuit drives the speaker 34 to emit sound. The speaker 34 transmits the sound to the outside through the sound-permeable hole array and miniature dustproof mesh provided on the decorative panel 31. By combining the hinge opening and closing with infrared sensing, the physical action of opening the lid 2 is converted into a music trigger signal, causing the food packaging... Upgraded from static protection to dynamic emotional interaction, it adapts to emotional consumption scenarios such as birthdays and holidays, satisfying consumers' pursuit of emotional experiences. The entire component is powered by a rechargeable battery 35. When the battery power is low, it can be charged by connecting to an external power source through the Type-C charging interface on the decorative panel 31. The entire component's circuitry is equipped with a low-power power management circuit. When the low-power power management circuit detects no trigger action for a long time (such as no opening of the cover 2 within 10 minutes), the control system enters a sleep state to reduce power consumption. When a trigger signal is detected again (such as the infrared signal of the cover 2 opening), the system is quickly woken up and the music playback function is restored.

[0019] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the tray structure 4 includes a tray 41, which is snapped into the interior of the decorative panel 31, and the bottom of the tray 41 contacts the base plate 32. A tray plate 42 is movably disposed inside the tray 41.

[0020] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, pull rods 43 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the tray 42, and the pull rods 43 are located inside the tray 41, with their upper ends flush with the tray 41.

[0021] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the surface of the support shell 41 is provided with an elastic strip 44 in a ring shape, and the surface of the elastic strip 44 is in close contact with the inner wall of the decorative panel 31.

[0022] In this embodiment: by setting the tray structure 4, the tray shell 41 is fixed inside the decorative panel 31 by the elastic strip 44, and the tray plate 42 can be freely pulled out inside the tray shell 41 by the pull rod 43, which is convenient for storing and taking out food. Through the snap-fit ​​between the tray shell 41 and the decorative panel 31 and the pull-out cooperation between the tray plate 42 and the tray shell 41, a protective structure is formed, which can prevent food from directly contacting the music playback component 3 and prevent debris and moisture from interfering with electronic components.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the controller 36 includes a main control chip, a storage unit, an audio decoding and power amplifier circuit. The main control chip is a low-power microcontroller, and the storage unit is a built-in Flash memory, which stores audio data.

[0024] In this embodiment: The main control chip (low-power microcontroller) of the controller 36 coordinates signal processing: after receiving the infrared sensing signal, it triggers the storage unit (Flash memory) to retrieve pre-stored audio data (such as birthday songs and holiday music), which is then converted and amplified by the audio decoding and power amplifier circuit to drive the speaker 34 to output audio; the rechargeable battery 35 continuously supplies power to the main control chip, storage unit, and power amplifier circuit to maintain the music playback process; while ensuring the music playback logic (signal triggering, audio retrieval, and power amplifier driving), the low-power microcontroller significantly reduces standby power consumption, adapting to the short-cycle use of food packaging boxes and the need for frequent charging; the Flash memory pre-stores customized audio (such as brand-specific music and holiday blessing sound effects), making the food packaging an audio carrier, making up for the lack of emotional content output in traditional packaging, and strengthening the emotional connection between the brand and consumers; the integration of the audio decoding and power amplifier circuit converts the digital audio of the storage unit into a high-fidelity analog signal, driving the speaker 34 to output clear and stable music.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a sound insulation structure 7 is provided around the decorative panel 31 and the base plate 32, and a first magnetic absorbing sheet 8 is provided on the surface of the sound insulation structure 7. A second magnetic absorbing sheet 9 is embedded in the four sides of the inner wall of the box body 1, and the first magnetic absorbing sheet 8 and the second magnetic absorbing sheet 9 are magnetically connected.

[0026] In this embodiment: the sound insulation structure 7 (such as sound-absorbing cotton) around the decorative panel 31 and the base plate 32 absorbs the vibration and noise generated by the speaker 34 when the music is played, reducing sound leakage to the outside of the box 1 (avoiding interference with the environment) and sound transmission to the food storage area (preventing vibration from affecting the food); the first magnetic piece 8 is attracted to the second magnetic piece 9 on the inner wall of the box 1, so that the music playback component 3 and the box 1 can be quickly assembled and positioned, while forming a closed space to assist in sound insulation.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, positioning posts 10 are provided at the four corners of the inner wall of the box 1, and the top of the positioning posts 10 extends into the interior of the base plate 32. An elastic sheet 11 is provided in a ring on the surface of the positioning posts 10, and the surface of the elastic sheet 11 is in close contact with the inner wall of the base plate 32.

[0028] In this embodiment: the positioning posts 10 at the four corners of the inner wall of the box body 1 are inserted into the bottom plate 32. After the elastic sheet 11 is compressed, it is pressed tightly against the inner wall of the bottom plate 32 to form positioning and fixation, ensuring the stability of the connection between the music playback component 3 and the box body 1.

[0029] Working principle: When the food packaging box is in use, when the consumer opens the lid 2 through the hinge structure, the relative position of the lid 2 and the box body 1 changes, causing the baffle inside the lid 2 to move away from the infrared transmitter 5 and the infrared receiver 6. The obstruction relationship between the infrared transmitter 5 and the infrared receiver 6 is released (when the lid 2 is closed, the infrared receiver 6 is blocked by the baffle; after opening, the infrared signal is conducted). The infrared signal emitted by the infrared transmitter 5 successfully reaches the receiver, forming an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the controller 36 of the music playback component 3 through a wire. After receiving the trigger signal, the main control chip (low-power microcontroller) in the controller 36 immediately retrieves the pre-stored audio data (such as birthday songs, holiday ambient music, or brand-specific sound effects) in the storage unit (built-in Flash memory). The audio data is processed by the audio decoding and power amplifier circuit, converted into an analog electrical signal, and amplified to drive the mounting bracket 33. The speaker 34 inside emits sound, and the audio emitted by the speaker 34 is transmitted to the outside of the box 1 through the sound-permeable hole array on the decorative panel 31. At the same time, the micro dustproof mesh inside the sound-permeable hole prevents impurities from entering the electronic component area. The music playback is deeply integrated with the opening action of the box lid 2. For example, when opening the cake packaging box in a birthday scene, birthday blessing music is automatically played, and when opening the holiday gift packaging, the corresponding holiday music is played. This upgrades food packaging from a simple physical container to an emotional interaction carrier, enhancing the sense of ritual and experience in the consumption scenario. Through the cooperation of the pull-out tray 42 and the pull rod 43, consumers can easily take out the inner food, avoiding direct contact with the food and causing contamination, thus improving the hygiene and convenience of the consumption experience. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​integration of the tray 41 and the music playback component 3 physically isolates the food storage area from the electronic functional area, preventing food debris and moisture from interfering with the electronic components and ensuring the stability of the music playback function.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
