Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corrugated cardboard box technology, and in particular to a self-locking corrugated cardboard box that does not require tape. Background Technology
[0002] Corrugated cardboard is die-cut, creasing, and stapling or gluing to create corrugated boxes. Corrugated boxes are the most widely used packaging product, consistently ranking first in usage among all packaging materials. This includes calcium-plastic corrugated boxes. For over half a century, corrugated boxes have gradually replaced wooden crates and other transport packaging containers due to their superior performance and easy processing, becoming the mainstay of transport packaging. Besides protecting goods and facilitating warehousing and transportation, they also serve to beautify and promote products.
[0003] As a corrugated cardboard box manufacturer, our long-term production practice and market feedback have revealed several issues with current corrugated cardboard boxes that negatively impact user experience and production efficiency. For example, traditional corrugated cardboard box sealing largely relies on tape, which not only increases tape costs but also reduces sealing efficiency due to pasting and tearing operations, especially in bulk packaging where the time and labor costs are more pronounced. Furthermore, tape residue hinders the recycling of cardboard boxes, contradicting environmental trends. This problem not only reduces the product's market competitiveness but also fails to meet customers' demands for efficient, environmentally friendly, and convenient packaging, thus necessitating an improvement in the structure of corrugated cardboard boxes. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a tape-free, self-locking corrugated cardboard box, solving the technical problem that traditional corrugated cardboard box packaging mostly relies on tape, which not only increases the material cost of tape but also reduces packaging efficiency due to pasting, tearing, and other operations.
[0006] Technical solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A self-locking corrugated cardboard box without tape includes a box body, two inner paper covers connected to the box body, a first outer paper cover and a second outer paper cover connected to the box body, the first outer paper cover and the second outer paper cover being installed opposite to each other, and the first outer paper cover, the second outer paper cover and the two inner paper covers can be bent and folded on the box body, and a U-shaped frame is fixedly installed on each of the two inner paper covers, and mounting holes are opened between the two U-shaped frames and the inner paper covers.

[0019] This application provides a tape-free, self-locking corrugated cardboard box, effectively solving the technical problem that traditional corrugated cardboard box packaging mostly relies on tape, which not only increases the material cost of tape but also reduces packaging efficiency due to pasting, tearing, and other operations.
[0020] Example
[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the technical solution in this application aims to effectively address the problem that traditional corrugated cardboard box packaging relies heavily on tape, which not only increases the material cost of the tape but also reduces packaging efficiency due to pasting and tearing operations. The overall approach is as follows:
[0022] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a self-locking corrugated cardboard box without tape, including a cardboard box body 11, two inner paper covers 10 connected to the cardboard box body 11, a first outer paper cover 1 and a second outer paper cover 4 connected to the cardboard box body 11, the first outer paper cover 1 and the second outer paper cover 4 being installed opposite to each other, and the first outer paper cover 1, the second outer paper cover 4 and the two inner paper covers 10 can all be bent and folded on the cardboard box body 11, and a U-shaped frame 8 is fixedly installed on each of the two inner paper covers 10, and mounting holes 9 are opened between the two U-shaped frames 8 and the inner paper covers 10.
[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, a first raised cardboard 3 is fixedly installed on the side of the first outer paper cover 1, and a second raised cardboard 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the second outer paper cover 4. The first raised cardboard 3 and the second raised cardboard 5 are stacked together, and both the first raised cardboard 3 and the second raised cardboard 5 are installed in the mounting hole 9 opened between the U-shaped frame 8 and the inner paper cover 10. When the corrugated carton is closed, the two inner paper covers 10 are first folded to the opening of the carton body 11, and then the first outer paper cover 1 and the second outer paper cover 4 are folded. At this time, the first raised cardboard 3 and the second raised cardboard 5 on the first outer paper cover 1 and the second outer paper cover 4 can be installed in the mounting hole 9 opened between the U-shaped frame 8 and the inner paper cover 10. Since the second raised cardboard 5 and the first raised cardboard 3 are stacked together, they can fill the inside of the mounting hole 9 and generate a large friction force, thereby initially locking the corrugated carton.
[0024] A first cardboard 2 is fixedly installed on the side of the first outer paper cover 1, and a second cardboard 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the second outer paper cover 4. Both the first cardboard 2 and the second cardboard 6 have slots 7. The slots 7 of the second cardboard 6 and the first cardboard 2 are symmetrical about the center point of the carton body 11. The second cardboard 6 and the first cardboard 2 are interlocked through the slots 7. By twisting the first cardboard 2 and the second cardboard 6 due to the deformable nature of the corrugated carton, the slots 7 of the first cardboard 2 and the second cardboard 6 are brought together, thus completing the interlocking. At this time, the corrugated carton is completely self-locking and does not need to be closed with tape.
[0025] The cardboard box body 11 is provided with a divider 12, which is used for classifying items and can be removed from the cardboard box body 11.
[0026] Working principle:
[0027] The first step, when closing the corrugated cardboard box, is to bend and fold the two inner paper covers 10 toward the opening of the main body 11 of the cardboard box so that they cover the inside of the opening, providing basic support for the subsequent locking structure.
[0028] The second step involves bending and folding the first outer paper cover 1 and the second outer paper cover 4 towards the opening of the carton body 11. At this time, the first raised cardboard 3 on the side of the first outer paper cover 1 and the second raised cardboard 5 on the side of the second outer paper cover 4 move synchronously with the folding of the outer paper covers, ultimately embedding themselves into the mounting holes 9 opened between the U-shaped frame 8 and the inner paper cover 10. Because the first raised cardboard 3 and the second raised cardboard 5 are installed in a stacked manner, they can tightly fill the internal space of the mounting holes 9, utilizing the deformation characteristics of the corrugated cardboard itself to generate significant friction, thus achieving initial self-locking of the carton.
[0029] Thirdly, after the first outer paper cover 1 and the second outer paper cover 4 are folded into place, the first cardboard 2 and the second cardboard 6 on their sides are naturally positioned outside the opening of the carton. Utilizing the deformable nature of corrugated cardboard, the first cardboard 2 and the second cardboard 6 are twisted so that the slots 7 (symmetrically distributed around the center point of the carton body 11) on them align and engage with each other. Through the interlocking action of the slots 7, the closed state of the carton is further reinforced, achieving complete self-locking and completing the closure without relying on tape.
[0030] In addition, the dividers 12 inside the carton body 11 can be placed or removed according to the storage needs of the items, so as to classify and separate the items inside the box and avoid the items from colliding and being damaged during transportation or storage.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
