Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic box technology, and more specifically to a plastic box for transporting cigarettes. Background Technology

[0002] Cigarette products require extremely high levels of protection, stacking stability, and dimensional compatibility from their packaging containers during transportation and storage. Traditional cigarette shipping boxes generally use a one-piece plastic box structure, which has the following technical drawbacks: (1) When the boxes are stacked, they are stacked only by gravity and lack a vertical interlocking structure. During transportation, vehicle vibration or external impact can easily cause the boxes to slide horizontally or even overturn, which may damage the cigarettes and pose safety hazards.

[0003] (2) The inner wall of the box is usually a fixed partition structure, which cannot be adapted to cigarette products of different lengths. When changing product specifications, special transport boxes need to be customized, which leads to increased storage costs and low turnover efficiency.

[0004] (3) Some improved boxes attempt to add limiting posts, but most of them are fixed designs. The limiting posts form a protruding structure when transporting a single box or storing an empty box. They not only take up space, but are also easy to get caught on other items and cause damage.

[0005] (4) Traditional box lids are connected by buckles or hinges. After long-term use, buckles are prone to aging and breakage, while hinge structures increase the height of the box and affect the flatness of stacking. At the same time, the lid seal is insufficient, making cigarettes susceptible to moisture or dust contamination.

[0006] (5) The side of the box lacks a dedicated grip structure, and the bottom of the box needs to be lifted by hand when moving it. This is laborious and the risk of falling is easily caused by slipping the hands.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to design and develop a special plastic box for cigarette transportation that combines strong stacking stability, flexible space adjustment, convenient operation, and reliable sealing. Utility Model Content

[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a cigarette transport plastic box that combines strong stacking stability, flexible space adjustment, convenient operation, and reliable sealing, thereby solving the aforementioned technical problems.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A cigarette transport plastic box includes a box body and a box cover installed on the top of the box body. Lifting and limiting components are provided on both sides of the box body. Several grooves are provided on the four inner walls of the box body. Several grooves on two opposite inner walls of the box body correspond to form slots. Insert plates are inserted into the slots. The lifting and limiting assembly includes a lifting plate. Lifting grooves are provided on both sides of the housing. The lifting plate is located in the lifting grooves and can slide vertically. Several limiting posts are provided at the bottom of the lifting plate. A locking device is provided between the lifting plate and the housing. The locking device can lock the lifting plate at the lower limit stroke, so that the several limiting posts are located at the bottom of the housing. Several limiting holes are provided at the top of the housing.

[0010] Furthermore, the locking device includes a locking pin. The lifting groove of the housing is provided with sliding grooves on both sides, and the locking pin is located in the sliding grooves. The lifting plate is provided with an upper limit slot and a lower limit slot on both sides. When the lifting plate is at the upper limit stroke, the locking pin can extend into the upper limit slot to limit the upper limit stroke. When the lifting plate is at the lower limit stroke, the locking pin can extend into the lower limit slot to limit the lower limit stroke.

[0011] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a dovetail protrusion within the lifting groove, and the lifting plate is provided with a dovetail groove, with the dovetail protrusion extending into the dovetail groove.

[0012] Furthermore, anti-detachment blocks are provided at both ends of the dovetail groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the insert plate includes a left side plate, a right side plate, and several intermediate plates. The side of the left side plate is provided with a side connecting groove, the side of the right side plate is provided with a side connecting plate, and the two sides of the several intermediate plates are respectively provided with a middle connecting groove and a middle connecting plate. The middle connecting plate and the side connecting plate can be inserted into the side connecting groove and the middle connecting groove.

[0014] Furthermore, a cover groove is provided on the top of the box, and the box cover is placed in the cover groove.

[0015] Furthermore, a magnetic block is provided at the inlet side of the cover groove, and a magnet is provided at one end of the box cover. The box cover is placed in the cover groove, and the magnet and the magnetic block are magnetically connected.

[0016] Furthermore, the side of the box is provided with a lifting groove.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Enhance stacking stability and security The precise stacking of multi-layer containers is achieved through the cooperation of the lifting and limiting components (lifting plate + limiting post) on both sides and the limiting hole on the top of the container. When the lifting plate is locked at its lower limit stroke, the limiting post retracts to the bottom of the container, facilitating single-container transportation or storage. When the lifting plate is raised to its upper limit stroke, the limiting post inserts into the limiting hole at the bottom of the upper container, forming a vertical mechanical interlock that effectively prevents the containers from sliding or tipping over during stacking, significantly improving transportation safety.

[0018] 2. The lifting structure is reliable and easy to operate. The locking device (locking pin + slide + limit slot) adopts a tool-less design: When the lifting platform is raised to the top, the pin engages with the upper limit slot to secure it; when it is lowered to the bottom, the pin engages with the lower limit slot to lock it in place. No additional tools are required to quickly switch between transport / stacking modes; operation is simple and reliable.

[0019] The sliding fit between the dovetail protrusion and the dovetail groove ensures the stability of the lifting platform's movement trajectory. Combined with the anti-derailment design, the risk of the lifting platform derailing is completely avoided.

[0020] 3. Flexible adaptation to different cigarette sizes The internal inserts adopt a modular assembly design: The left side plate (with side connecting groove), right side plate (with side connecting plate), and middle plate (with middle connecting groove / connecting plate) can be freely combined; by increasing or decreasing the number of middle plates and adjusting the spacing between the insert plates, it is compatible with cigarette products of various lengths.

[0021] Independent and replaceable structure: When a single plug-in board is damaged, only the local component needs to be replaced, without scrapping the entire system, which significantly reduces maintenance costs.

[0022] 4. The lid is securely fixed and has good sealing performance. The lid is embedded in the lid groove to ensure that the top of the box is flat and without protrusions, providing a uniform force surface for stacking; Magnetic sealing design: The magnet at one end of the lid is attracted and fixed to the magnetic block at the entrance of the lid slot, which not only enhances the tightness of the lid (dustproof and moistureproof), but also makes it easy to open and close quickly with one hand, improving operating efficiency.

[0023] 5. Humanized handling design The side of the box has a lifting groove to provide a gripping fulcrum, making it easier to carry and preventing slippage, thus reducing labor intensity.

[0024] 6. Lightweight and durable overall structure The all-plastic material reduces the weight of the container and lowers transportation energy consumption. Attached Figure Description
