Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of commodity packaging, and more specifically, to a flip-top packaging box. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development, the requirements for product packaging have increased. Packaging boxes must not only protect the goods but also enhance their appearance and add value. Flip-top packaging boxes, in particular, are required to maintain a fixed angle when opened to better showcase the product.

[0003] Currently, there are few types of packaging boxes on the market that can maintain a specific opening angle. The methods to achieve an angle between the lid and the body are generally to use ribbons or hinges to connect the body and lid. The former will expose the ribbon outside the body, which is not easy to hide and is not aesthetically pleasing, and the ribbon is easy to break; the latter will increase the cost and weight of the packaging box. In addition, regardless of the structure, it increases the variety of materials used in the packaging box. If it is to be recycled, different types of parts must be disassembled first, which increases the recycling steps and is not conducive to recycling. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of existing packaging boxes that affect their aesthetics, cost, or ease of use by making the lid and body form an angle. It provides a flip-top packaging box that, through structural improvements, allows the packaging box to form a fixed opening angle while using a single material, without compromising the integrity of the packaging box and facilitating recycling.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A flip-top packaging box is provided, including a lid, a body, and a frame. The lid is hinged to the body, the frame is placed inside the frame, and the top surface of the frame is higher than the top surface of the frame. A limiting member protruding along the height direction is provided on the inner side of the lid, and a positioning groove is provided on the side wall of the frame. The positioning groove is separated from the inner side wall of the frame. When the lid is closed, the limiting member is placed in the gap. When the lid is opened, the end of the limiting member abuts against the top surface of the positioning groove.

[0007] The main technical principle of this invention is as follows: Unlike traditional packaging boxes that use ribbons or hinges to connect the box body and lid, this invention uses a limiting component and a positioning groove to achieve the opening of the lid and box body at a fixed angle. When the lid is closed, its protruding limiting component is positioned within the gap between the positioning groove and the inner wall of the box body. During the opening process, the lid rotates around its connection point with the box body, and simultaneously, the limiting component rotates around the same axis, causing it to move out of the gap and abut against the top surface of the positioning groove. When the limiting component abuts against the positioning groove, a relatively fixed fit is formed, preventing further rotation of the lid and thus creating a specific opening angle. In this example, the opening angle of the lid can be controlled by adjusting the height dimension of the positioning groove. For instance, increasing the height dimension of the positioning groove allows the lid to open at a larger angle, and vice versa. The limiting component is made of the same or similar material as the lid, thus meeting the same recycling requirements without the need for additional materials. By combining the limiting component and the positioning groove, the flip-top packaging box of this utility model can achieve a fixed opening angle between the lid and the box body while ensuring aesthetics and cost-effectiveness.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting member is bonded to the inner wall of the box cover, which improves the durability and stability of the limiting member and reduces the risk of the limiting member falling off due to friction or impact during use.

[0009] Furthermore, as another structure, the limiting member is integrally formed with the box lid, which can simplify the production process, reduce the production cost of the packaging box, and ensure the accurate relative position of the limiting member and the box lid.

[0010] Furthermore, the length and width of the outer side wall of the box are smaller than the length and width of the inner side wall of the box, respectively, and when the box is placed inside the box, a gap is provided between the outer side wall of the box and the inner side wall of the box. This gap also serves as a buffer, reducing damage to the box or its contents from impacts.

[0011] Furthermore, the box body can be glued, sleeved, or snapped into the box body, which provides a variety of installation methods. The appropriate connection method can be selected according to different usage scenarios and needs, thus improving the adaptability of the packaging box.

[0012] Furthermore, a groove is formed on the side wall where the box body is hinged to the lid. The groove is aligned with the positioning groove, and when the lid is closed, the limiting member is placed in the groove, which further enhances the positioning accuracy of the box body and improves the overall stability of this flip-top packaging box.

[0013] Furthermore, the side of the box body away from the positioning groove is hinged to the box body, while the other side is connected to the box body via a folding limiting member. When the lid is opened, the end of the limiting member abuts against the top surface of the positioning groove and lifts one side of the box body. The folding limiting member limits the box body, causing it to be raised to a specific height. This achieves a coordinated lifting of the box body, making it convenient for users to access the contents or to display the contents at a better angle. At the same time, the folding limiting member restricts the lifting height of the box body, preventing excessive lifting that could cause the box body to fall off.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] The flip-top packaging box of this utility model, through the cooperation of limiting components and positioning grooves, can achieve a fixed opening angle between the lid and the box body. While achieving this technical effect, it avoids the use of additional parts (such as ribbons, hinges, etc.), so that the entire packaging box can be made of materials that are easy to recycle, which is environmentally friendly.

[0016] In addition, the limiting component can be integrally molded using the same material as the box lid, avoiding manual secondary assembly, which helps to reduce production processes and costs, and ensures that all packaging boxes with the same conditions (size, structure, etc.) open at the same angle after being flipped, thus improving the product quality stability of this packaging box.

Furthermore, in this utility model, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] This embodiment provides a flip-top packaging box, see reference. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The flip-top packaging box includes a lid 1, a body 2, and a casing 3. The lid 1 is hinged to the body 2. The casing 3 is glued (bonded) inside the body 2, and the top surface of the casing 3 is higher than the top surface of the body 2. The inner side of the lid 1 is provided with a limiting member 4 protruding along its height direction. The side wall of the casing 3 is provided with a positioning groove 5. The positioning groove 5 is separated from the inner side wall of the body 2. When the lid 1 is closed, the limiting member 4 is placed in the gap. When the lid 1 is opened, the end of the limiting member 4 abuts against the top surface of the positioning groove 5.

[0029] In this embodiment, the lid 1, body 2, container 3, and retaining element 4 are preferably made of recyclable materials. The entire packaging box (including the lid 1, body 2, container 3, and retaining element 4) is composed of a single material, facilitating recycling. The recyclable material can be a common recyclable material in the prior art, such as composite cardboard (e.g., corrugated cardboard, kraft paper) with sufficient hardness to withstand dozens or hundreds of compressions, impacts, and frictions. Of course, depending on the contents, the entire packaging box can also be made of plastic, metal, non-metal, or other composite materials. It should be noted that the key feature of this invention lies in its structure; the materials used can refer to any available materials in the prior art.

[0030] Of course, in some other embodiments, the box body 3 can also be embedded in the box body 2 by snap-fit ​​or by interference fit. There are various ways to connect the box body 3 and the box body 2, and a suitable connection method can be selected according to different usage scenarios and needs, which will not be elaborated here. However, it should be noted that in this embodiment, a gap is left between the box body 3 and the box body 2, which is achieved by limiting the length and width of the box body 3. The length and width of the outer wall of the box body 3 are smaller than the length and width of the inner wall of the box body 2, respectively. Therefore, when the box body 3 is placed inside the box body 2, a gap is set between the outer wall of the box body 3 and the inner wall of the box body 2. This gap serves as a place to accommodate the limiting member 4 and as a buffer (if necessary, a buffer material, such as sponge, can be filled in the gap) to reduce damage to the box body 3 or its contents from impact. The contents are the items placed inside the box body 3, which are also the items packaged in this packaging box.

[0031] Unlike traditional packaging boxes that use ribbons or hinges to connect the box body and lid, this embodiment uses the cooperation of the limiting component 4 and the positioning groove 5 to achieve the opening of the lid 1 and the box body 2 and form a fixed opening angle. Figure 3 As shown, when the lid 1 is closed, its protruding limiting member 4 is positioned within the gap between the positioning groove 5 and the inner wall of the box body 2. During the opening of the lid 1, the lid 1 rotates around its connection point with the box body 2, and simultaneously, the limiting member 4 rotates around the same axis, causing it to move out of the gap and abut against the top surface of the positioning groove 5. (See reference...) Figure 2 When the limiting member 4 and the positioning groove 5 abut against each other, a relatively fixed engagement is formed. At this point, the lid 1 can no longer rotate, thus creating a specific opening angle. Through the cooperation of the limiting member 4 and the positioning groove 5, a fixed opening angle can be achieved between the lid 1 and the box body 2. This achieves the desired technical effect without the need for additional components (such as ribbons, hinges, etc.), allowing the entire packaging box to be made of recyclable materials, making it environmentally friendly.

[0032] Based on the technical principles of this solution, the opening angle of the lid 1 can also be controlled by adjusting the dimension of the positioning groove 5 in the height direction. For example, when the dimension of the positioning groove 5 in the height direction increases, the lid 1 can open to a larger angle, such as... Figure 4 As shown; conversely, it allows the lid to open to a smaller angle.

[0033] In this embodiment, the limiting member 4 is integrally molded from the same material as the lid 1, thus meeting the same recycling requirements without the need for additional materials. This simplifies the production process, reduces the production cost of the packaging box, and ensures accurate relative positioning between the limiting member 4 and the lid 1. Through the cooperation of the limiting member 4 and the positioning groove 5, this flip-top packaging box can achieve a fixed opening angle between the lid 1 and the box body 2 while maintaining aesthetics and cost-effectiveness.

[0034] In some other embodiments, the limiting member 4 can also be manufactured separately and then attached to the inner wall of the lid 1 by adhesive.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides another type of flip-top packaging box. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, there is no gap between the box body 3 and the box frame 2; that is, the box frame 2 and the box frame 3 are tightly fitted together. This can be achieved by integrally molding the box frame 2 and the box frame 3, thereby reducing the number of parts in this flip-top packaging box and further simplifying the production process.

[0037] Of course, to provide space for the limiting member 4, in this embodiment, the box body 2 has a groove 6 formed on its side wall that is hinged to the box lid 1, and the groove 6 is directly opposite the positioning groove 5. When the box lid 1 is closed, the limiting member 4 is placed in the groove; when the box lid 1 is opened, the limiting member 4 rotates and abuts against the top surface of the positioning groove 5.

[0038] To improve the sealing of this flip-top packaging box and prevent leakage or loss of contents, the lid 1 and the box body 3 can be designed with an interference fit. That is, the length and width of the outer side wall of the box body 3 are slightly larger than the length and width of the inner side wall of the lid 1. In this way, when the lid 1 is closed, its inner side wall and the outer side wall of the box body 3 experience a slight squeezing effect, generating resistance. Therefore, the lid 1 is not easily opened by itself without external force. However, when external force is applied, the lid 1 can be opened normally.

[0039] The above-described method is one embodiment based on the inventive objective of "using the same material." In some other embodiments, when maintaining the "same material" is not required, the lid 1 may have a first fixing member, and the body 2 may have a second fixing member. In this embodiment, the first and second fixing members are magnets with opposite magnetic properties; they attract each other when close, and applying a certain force to either the first or second fixing member can separate them. When the lid 1 is closed, the distance between the first and second fixing members decreases or becomes zero (i.e., they are in contact), and the first and second fixing members are closed and connected, enhancing the fixing effect between the lid 1 and the body 2, improving the sealing of the flip-top packaging box, and preventing leakage or loss of contents. Even if the flip-top packaging box is inverted, the lid 1 will not open. When an external force is applied, the lid 1 can be opened by rotating it upwards and backwards.

[0040] Of course, in other embodiments, the first and second fixing members can also be other specific structures capable of achieving the fixing effect. For example, when the first fixing member is a latch, the second fixing member can be a slot; when the lid 1 is closed, the latch inserts into the slot to form a fixation. When the first fixing member is a hook, the second fixing member can be a hanging ring; when the lid 1 is closed, the hook is rotated to pass through the hanging ring, and the two form a fixation. The first and second fixing members can also be other specific structures commonly found in the art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] See Figure 6 This embodiment provides another type of flip-top packaging box. Unlike embodiment one, in this embodiment, a gap is provided between the outer wall of the box body 3 and the inner wall of the box body 2. The side of the box body 3 away from the positioning groove 5 is hinged to the box body 2, while the other side is connected to the box body 2 via a folding limiting member 7. When the lid 1 is opened, the end of the limiting member 4 abuts against the top surface of the positioning groove 5 and lifts one side of the box body 3. The folding limiting member 7 limits the lifting height of the box body 3, causing it to be raised to a specific height. This achieves a coordinated lifting of the box body 3, facilitating the user to access the contents of the box body 3 or allowing the contents to be displayed at a better angle. Simultaneously, the folding limiting member 7 restricts the lifting height of the box body 3, preventing excessive lifting that could cause the box body 3 to detach.

[0043] In the specific implementation of the above embodiments, the technical features can be combined in any non-contradictory way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the above technical features are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features is not contradictory, it should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
