Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of corrugated packaging boxes, and particularly relates to a foldable same-city corrugated reusable packaging box with a cycle count recording chip. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing same-city recycling bins are rigid plastic cubes, which take up a lot of space when stored. The load capacity of a delivery vehicle is only 1 / 3 of that of a flat cardboard box, resulting in low recycling willingness among deliverymen. In addition, the production cost of plastic boxes is high (about 5 times that of corrugated boxes), and they need to be recycled more than 15 times to reach the cost break-even point. Furthermore, there is a lack of records of recycling times, making it impossible to implement a tiered profit distribution system, which makes it difficult to incentivize deliverymen to participate in recycling. The overall recycling rate is less than 30%.

[0003] The existing corrugated recycling bins on the market mostly use Velcro or magnets for their pre-adhesive structure. These non-corrugated materials need to be separated manually during recycling and pulping. Each batch of recycling requires two additional separation processes, increasing labor costs by 20%. Furthermore, incomplete separation can lead to pulp impurities exceeding 0.5%, affecting the quality of pulp reuse.

[0004] Existing corrugated packaging boxes lack precise dimensional design, resulting in a squareness error of 5-8% after the box is opened. They are prone to tilting when stacked, and the storage space utilization rate is only 70% of that of a standard square box. Furthermore, there is no thickness-adaptive design at the sealing point, and due to the springback stress of the cardboard after sealing, the opening rate is about 5%, increasing the product transportation damage rate by 8-10%.

[0005] The existing corrugated packaging boxes lack elastic support and precise folding structure in the triangular area. When folded, the resistance is greater than 5N, and the crease offset is mostly 3-5mm, resulting in irregular corners of the box and reduced sealing performance (air leakage rate increases by 15%). After repeated folding 3-5 times, the damage rate of the triangular area is as high as 30%, and the service life of the box is shortened to 5-8 cycles.

[0006] Therefore, a foldable corrugated reusable packaging box with a cycle count recording chip is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a foldable corrugated reusable packaging box with a cycle count recording chip to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A foldable corrugated reusable packaging box with a cycle count recording chip includes a cardboard box body. A chip that can record the number of cycles is fixed to the outer surface of the cardboard box body near the top opening by a waterproof adhesive layer. The chip is wirelessly connected to an external terminal and has an embedded power supply module.

[0010] A pre-adhesive board is integrally cut and formed on one side wall edge of the carton body. A first hook and loop fastener is fixed on the inner surface of the free end of the pre-adhesive board. A second hook and loop fastener is fixed on the outer surface of the other side wall of the carton body at the position corresponding to the first hook and loop fastener. The pre-adhesive board achieves three-dimensional forming of the carton body by bonding the first hook and loop fastener with the second hook and loop fastener.

[0011] The top opening of the carton body has four inner flaps integrally formed on the edge, and the inner surface of the inner flaps is integrally cut with arc-shaped guide strips.

[0012] The two opposite end faces of the carton body each have two symmetrically distributed notch areas.

[0013] The four corners of the carton body are provided with flattened triangular areas, and the hypotenuse of the flattened triangular areas is engraved with fold lines.

[0014] By integrating multiple components, it breaks through the "single function" limitation of existing reusable boxes, and solves four core problems at the same time: storage, recycling, packaging efficiency, and circular tracking, achieving "one design, multiple scenarios adaptability", with applicable scope covering general express delivery, food, medicine and other fields;

[0015] The inner surface of the outer flap at the top opening of the carton body is detachably connected with an anti-theft buckle.

[0016] A further technical solution is that the power supply module of the chip is a button-type power supply module or a solar power supply module. When a solar power supply module is used, its light-receiving surface is attached to the sun-facing side of the outer surface of the cardboard box body. The outer shell of the chip is made of waterproof ABS material, and the contact surface between the outer shell and the cardboard box body is coated with a waterproof adhesive layer with a thickness of 0.5-1mm. The signal transmission distance of the chip is not less than 10m. The waterproof structure prevents the chip from being damaged by rain or humid environments, and wireless communication enables real-time uploading of cyclical data.

[0017] In a further technical solution, the width of the pre-adhesive plate is consistent with the height of the side wall of the carton body, and the length of the pre-adhesive plate is 1 / 2 of the length of the adjacent side wall of the carton body; the free end of the pre-adhesive plate is also provided with a positioning protrusion, and the carton body is provided with a positioning groove at the position corresponding to the positioning protrusion. The positioning protrusion and the positioning groove are interference-fitted, and the height of the positioning protrusion is 2-3mm.

[0018] A further technical solution is that the anti-theft buckle is integrally formed from waste cardboard box material, including a buckle head and a buckle base that interlock with each other. The buckle base is fixed to the inner surface of one of the outer flaps of the cardboard box body, and the buckle head is fixed to the inner surface of the other outer flap. The outer surface of the buckle head is provided with a diamond-shaped grid anti-slip texture. The engagement depth between the buckle head and the buckle base is 5-8mm, and the engagement position of the anti-theft buckle is completely aligned with the sealing surface of the cardboard box body.

[0019] A further technical solution is that the depth d2 of the notch area satisfies d2 > 1 / 2d1 (d1 is the height of the end face of the carton body), the edge of the notch area is an arc transition structure with a radius of 3-5mm; the notch areas of the two opposite end faces can be nested in the flat transport state of the carton body, and the overall thickness after nesting is consistent with the thickness of a single flat carton.

[0020] A further technical solution is that the length of the inner flap is consistent with the length of the corresponding side wall of the carton body, and the width of the inner flap is 1 / 2 of the opening height at the top of the carton body; the protrusion direction of the arc-shaped guide strip faces the inside of the carton body, the cross-section of the guide strip is semi-circular with a radius of 1-2mm, and the length of the guide strip is consistent with the length of the inner flap; breaking through the traditional limitation of "d2≤1 / 2d1", the space utilization rate is increased by 20% during nested transportation, the arc edge avoids scratches on operators, and the end face structural strength is increased by 50% due to the arc design, making it less prone to deformation during nested transportation.

[0021] A further technical solution is that the flattened triangular area is an isosceles right triangle structure, with the length of the right angle side being consistent with the wall thickness of the carton body; the length of the crease line is consistent with the length of the hypotenuse of the flattened triangular area, the depth of the crease line is 1 / 3 of the thickness of the corrugated cardboard, and both sides of the crease line are provided with reinforcing edges with a width of 1mm.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] This invention achieves real-time recording of the number of cycles and tiered benefit distribution through a wireless transmission structure between the chip and an external terminal, solving the problem of insufficient incentive for existing cycles; the waterproof and long-lasting power supply design ensures the chip works throughout its entire life cycle, thereby increasing the cardboard box recycling rate and reducing the cost per use.

[0024] This utility model replaces traditional plastic boxes and non-corrugated pre-attached parts with the Velcro adhesive transmission of the pre-adhesive board and the snap-fit ​​transmission of the anti-theft buckle, realizing a closed loop of "flat transportation - rapid prototyping - non-separation recycling".

[0025] This invention solves the problems of automatic line jamming and triangular area damage by using the guiding transmission of the inner flap guide strip and the reverse folding transmission of the flattened triangular area and the indentation line.

[0026] To more clearly illustrate the structural features and effects of this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0035] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a foldable corrugated reusable packaging box with a cycle count recording chip, including a carton body 1, a chip 4 using a button power supply module, fixed to the outer surface of the carton body 1 by a waterproof adhesive layer; a pre-adhesive plate 2 with a first Velcro 3, and a carton body 1 with a second Velcro 10; an anti-theft buckle 5 is integrally molded from waste material without an additional coating; the arc-shaped guide strip of the inner flap 6 is made of natural corrugated material; the notch area 7 has an edge arc radius of 3mm; and the folding crease line 9 of the flattened triangular area 8 is a single-line design.

[0038] In this embodiment, the button power supply module has a service life of up to 10 cycles, meeting the needs of small to medium batch cycles; the Velcro adhesive keeps the forming time within 10 seconds, which is an improvement over traditional assembly boxes; the use of waste materials in the anti-theft buckle reduces material costs, and no separation is required when recycling a single material, reducing the recycling process by two steps and saving labor time per batch; the arc-shaped guide strip of the inner flap reduces the jamming rate of the automatic packaging line and improves packaging efficiency; the nested design of the notch area reduces the transportation volume and increases the loading capacity of a single express cart; the single-line indentation in the flattened triangular area reduces the resistance to folding.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: chip 4 adopts a solar power module, and the light-receiving surface is attached to the sun-facing side of the carton body 1; the arc-shaped guide strip of the inner flap 6 is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene; the folding crease line 9 of the flattened triangular area 8 adopts a double-line design with a spacing of 2mm; the edge arc radius of the notch area 7 is 5mm, and an integrally molded reinforcing rib is added.

[0041] In this embodiment, the solar power module does not require battery replacement and has a service life of 20 cycles, avoiding the maintenance costs of replacing button batteries and reducing maintenance costs compared to Embodiment 1; the polytetrafluoroethylene coating reduces the friction coefficient of the arc-shaped guide strip; the reinforcing ribs in the notch area increase the strength of the end face structure, reduce the deformation rate during nested transportation, and significantly improve the nesting stability. At the same time, the arc radius is increased to 5mm, reducing the scratch rate on operators and improving safety.

[0042] Working principle and usage process of this invention:

[0043] Production Stage: A fully automated integrated cutting machine is used to cut corrugated cardboard into an integrated structure comprising the carton body 1, pre-gluing board 2, inner flap 6, and flattened triangular area 8 in one go. Simultaneously, fold lines 9 are etched on the diagonal edges of the flattened triangular area 8, and a notch area 7 is created on the end face of the carton body 1. Subsequently, an automated attaching machine fixes the chip 4 to the outer surface of the carton body 1 with a waterproof adhesive layer. The solar-powered chip must be aligned with the sun-facing side. The first Velcro 3 is attached to the pre-gluing board 2, and the second Velcro 10 is attached to the carton body 1. The anti-theft buckle 5's clip head and holder are respectively fixed to the inner surfaces of the two outer flaps. The entire production process produces no waste scraps, meeting zero-waste production requirements.

[0044] Storage stage: After production is completed, the Velcro on the pre-adhesive board 2 is removed manually or mechanically, and the carton body 1 is folded inward along the fold line 9, so that the flattened triangular area 8 is flattened and adhered to the carton body, finally forming a flat shape with a thickness of only 5-8mm; the flat carton is stacked on a standard pallet, which improves the storage space utilization rate and reduces the storage cost compared with traditional plastic boxes.

[0045] Transportation stage: Stacked flat cardboard boxes are loaded into express delivery vehicles. Utilizing the design of the notch area 7 "d2>1 / 2d1", the end face notches of adjacent cardboard boxes are nested with each other. The overall thickness after nesting is consistent with that of a single flat cardboard box, further saving transportation space. During transportation, chip 4 is in a low-power state, records the "transportation number" in real time, and uploads it to an external terminal via wireless communication, making it convenient for logistics companies to track the transportation status in real time.

[0046] Packaging Stage: Upon arrival at the courier depot, the operator holds the pre-adhesive plate 2, pulls and aligns it with the second Velcro 10 for adhesion. The positioning protrusions and grooves work together to achieve precise positioning, completing the three-dimensional shaping of the box within 10 seconds. After placing the product inside the box, the automatic packaging line is started. Guided by the arc-shaped guide strip, the inner flap 6 folds smoothly inward along the edge of the opening, completely covering the bottom of the opening after folding. The outer flap is then closed, ensuring that the anti-theft buckle 5's head and seat precisely engage. The anti-slip texture and deep engagement depth ensure a secure seal. After packaging is completed, the chip 4 automatically records the "number of uses" and uploads it to an external terminal, completing the cycle data update for this use.

[0047] Recycling Stage: After the product is delivered to the recipient, the recipient can gently pry open the anti-theft buckle 5 along the buckle head to open the box and take out the package; the courier collects the cardboard box, checks that the box is undamaged, removes the old anti-theft buckle 5, and replaces it with a new buckle made from waste material; then the cardboard box is folded flat along the fold line 9, and the chip 4 uploads the "recycling count".

[0048] 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.
