Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging box technology, and in particular to a magnetically foldable recyclable and environmentally friendly box. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, magnetic foldable packaging boxes have become increasingly popular in the market due to their unique sealing and securing methods and foldable characteristics. These boxes achieve rapid sealing and securing by incorporating magnetic structures on the box body, while significantly reducing storage and transportation space when not in use, demonstrating excellent environmental and economic value.

[0003] However, in actual recycling processes, these packaging boxes reveal a significant technical flaw. To ensure the reliability of the magnetic attraction, existing products typically employ methods such as insert molding, strong adhesives, or riveting to permanently bond the magnet or magnetic conductor to the box body. While this integrated structural design offers stable performance during use, it creates significant difficulties during the waste recycling stage. During recycling, the box body (usually made of plastic, paper, or composite materials) needs to be separated from the magnetic components (usually sintered magnets, metals, etc.) to ensure they enter the correct material recycling channels. However, due to the strong bond, forced separation is extremely inconvenient and may even cause the brittle magnet to shatter, thus rendering the box unusable.

[0004] This difficulty in separation directly contradicts the environmentally friendly design principles of magnetic folding packaging boxes. When either the box body or the magnetic component is damaged during reuse, the inability to replace either component often leads to the entire packaging box being discarded, resulting in resource waste. Existing technologies urgently need improvement to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model discloses a magnetically foldable recyclable environmentally friendly box, which aims to solve the problem that the box body and magnetic components are difficult to separate during the recycling process of existing magnetically foldable packaging boxes, resulting in resource waste.

[0006] This utility model discloses a magnetically foldable reusable environmentally friendly box, comprising: a box body, the box body including a first folding plate and a fifth folding plate; a fastener disposed on the first folding plate; and a magnetic plate disposed on the fifth folding plate, the magnetic plate and the fastener being magnetically engaged; wherein the fastener is detachably connected to the first folding plate, and the magnetic plate is detachably connected to the fifth folding plate.

[0007] This technical solution enables a detachable connection between the magnetic component and the box, solving the problem of difficulty in separating the magnetic component from the box in existing technologies, and facilitating recycling and reuse.

[0008] Furthermore, according to the aforementioned magnetically foldable reusable eco-friendly box, the box body also includes a fourth folding plate and a box bottom plate. One end of the fourth folding plate is provided with a flange, and the box bottom plate is provided with an insertion groove that mates with the flange.

[0009] More specifically, in some embodiments, according to the aforementioned magnetically foldable reusable eco-friendly box, the box body further includes a third folding plate and a fourth folding plate; the third folding plate and the fifth folding plate are disposed inside the folded fourth folding plate, and a gap is formed between the outer surface of the third folding plate and the inner surface of the fourth folding plate to accommodate the first folding plate.

[0010] Preferably, according to the aforementioned magnetically foldable reusable eco-friendly box, the fifth folding plate has a slot for guiding the buckle to be attached and positioned.

[0011] Furthermore, according to the aforementioned magnetically foldable reusable eco-friendly box, the box body also includes a second folding plate, a front baffle, and a front side plate. The front baffle is connected to the end of the second folding plate. After the second folding plate is folded, it fits against the inner surface of the fifth folding plate, and the front baffle fits against the front side plate.

[0012] More specifically, in some implementations, according to the aforementioned magnetically foldable reusable eco-friendly box, the fifth folding plate is provided with a dovetail groove, and the magnetic plate is provided with a dovetail flange that slides in conjunction with the dovetail groove.

[0013] Preferably, in the aforementioned magnetically foldable reusable eco-friendly box, the first folding plate has a slot, and the buckle is provided with a plug plate that engages with the slot.

[0014] Furthermore, according to the aforementioned magnetically foldable reusable eco-friendly box, the first folding plate is also provided with a groove, and the buckle is also provided with protrusions that engage with the groove.

[0015] This invention provides a magnetically foldable reusable eco-friendly box. A latching mechanism is mounted on the first folding plate, and a magnetic plate is mounted on the fifth folding plate. The latching mechanism and the magnetic plate engage magnetically. Crucially, the latching mechanism and the magnetic plate are detachably connected. This solution effectively solves the technical problem of difficulty in separating the box body from the magnetic components during recycling in existing magnetically foldable packaging boxes. Furthermore, when either the box body or the magnetic components are damaged during recycling, their detachability allows users to replace the damaged part individually without discarding the entire box. This effectively avoids the pitfalls of "pseudo-environmental protection," significantly extends the lifespan of the packaging box, and reduces resource consumption. Therefore, this magnetically foldable reusable eco-friendly box demonstrates significant advantages in both environmental protection and economic value. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of this application.

[0024] Traditional magnetic foldable packaging boxes offer significant advantages in rapid sealing and securing, as well as reducing warehousing and transportation space, with their design aiming to balance environmental protection and economic benefits. However, in actual recycling, these boxes reveal a significant technical flaw. To ensure the reliability of the magnetic attraction, existing products typically permanently integrate magnets or magnetic conductors with the box body using methods such as insert molding, strong adhesives, or riveting. While this integrated design provides stable performance during product use, it creates considerable difficulties during the recycling process. During recycling, the box body, usually made of plastic, paper, or composite materials, needs to be separated from the magnetic components, typically sintered magnets or metal, to ensure they enter the correct material recycling channels. However, due to the strong bond, forced separation is extremely inconvenient and may cause the brittle magnets to shatter, rendering the box unusable.

[0025] In response, this application proposes a magnetically foldable reusable eco-friendly box, which includes a box body, a fastener 11, and a magnetic plate 6. The box body includes a first folding plate 1 and a fifth folding plate 5; the fastener 11 is disposed on the first folding plate 1; the magnetic plate 6 is disposed on the fifth folding plate 5, and the magnetic plate 6 and the fastener 11 are magnetically engaged; the fastener 11 is detachably connected to the first folding plate 1, and the magnetic plate 6 is detachably connected to the fifth folding plate 5.

[0026] Specifically, the body of this eco-friendly box is composed of multiple folding panels, with key components including a first folding panel 1 and a fifth folding panel 5. The first folding panel 1 is part of the box body and has a latching element 11 mounted on it. The latching element 11 is a component that can magnetically engage with a magnetic plate 6, and its material is typically metal or a magnetic material. The fifth folding panel 5 is another part of the box body and has a magnetic plate 6 mounted on it. The magnetic plate 6 is typically made of magnets or magnetically conductive materials and can generate a magnetic attraction with the latching element 11, thereby achieving the sealing and fixation of the box body.

[0027] See Figure 1This embodiment discloses a magnetically foldable reusable eco-friendly box, which mainly consists of a box body, a buckle 11, and a magnetic plate 6. The box body is the main structure of the eco-friendly box, which forms a three-dimensional space by folding to hold items. The box body includes a first folding plate 1 and a fifth folding plate 5, which play a key role in the sealing of the box.

[0028] Clip 11, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The latch 11 is mounted on the first folding plate 1. Its main function is to magnetically engage with the magnetic plate 6, thereby achieving the closure and fixation of the box. In a preferred embodiment, the latch 11 can be made of a metal tab material to enhance its magnetic responsiveness and durability. The latch 11 is detachably connected to the first folding plate 1, meaning it can be separated from the first folding plate 1, for example, by insertion, snap-fit, or sliding. This detachable design allows the latch 11 to be replaced or separated individually when damaged or requiring recycling, without discarding the entire box.

[0029] Magnetic plate 6, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The magnetic plate 6 is mounted on the fifth folding plate 5. The magnetic plate 6 and the latching member 11 engage magnetically to form a reliable magnetic locking structure. The magnetic plate 6 is typically made of magnets or magnetically conductive materials, and its magnetic strength is sufficient to ensure that the box will not open accidentally during normal use. Similar to the latching member 11, the magnetic plate 6 is also detachably connected to the fifth folding plate 5. This means that the magnetic plate 6 can be separated from the fifth folding plate 5, for example, through a sliding fit or snap-fit. This detachable design also allows the magnetic plate 6 to be replaced or separated individually when damaged or recycled.

[0030] Therefore, when the eco-friendly box needs to be recycled, the user can easily remove the buckle 11 from the first folding plate 1 and the magnetic plate 6 from the fifth folding plate 5. The disassembled buckle 11 and magnetic plate 6 can be recycled according to their materials, while the box itself can also be recycled or reused based on its material. This design greatly simplifies the recycling process, avoids the problem of separating the magnetic components from the box body in traditional magnetic folding boxes, thereby improving recycling efficiency and the reuse value of materials.

[0031] The removable design of the eco-friendly box plays a crucial role when it reaches the end of its lifespan or needs to be recycled. Users can easily detach the latch 11 from the first folding plate 1. For example, if the latch 11 is connected by a plug-in mechanism, the user can simply pull it out. Similarly, the magnetic plate 6 can be detached from the fifth folding plate 5, for example, by sliding or snapping. The detached latch 11 and magnetic plate 6 can be sorted and recycled according to their materials, such as metal or magnetic materials, and enter a dedicated material recycling channel. The box itself (usually made of materials such as paper or plastic) can also be recycled or reused separately.

[0032] This application further proposes an optimized solution for the bottom structure of the box body. By adding a fourth folding plate 4 and a bottom plate 81, and by providing a flange 41 that engages with a slot 42, the connection strength and stability of the bottom of the box body are enhanced. The fourth folding plate 4 is a part of the box body structure that forms the side wall of the box body, and one end of it is designed to have a flange 41. The flange 41 is a protruding portion extending outward or inward from the edge of the fourth folding plate 4, and its shape and size are designed to precisely match the slot 42. The bottom plate 81 is a plate-like structure forming the bottom of the box body, on which the slot 42 is provided. The slot 42 is a groove or hole formed in the bottom plate 81, and its shape and size match the flange 41 so that the flange 41 can be inserted and fixed therein.

[0033] In some preferred embodiments, the fourth folding plate 4 can be designed as a side panel of the box body, with its lower edge extending to form an L-shaped or T-shaped flange 41. Simultaneously, a corresponding insertion groove 42 matching the shape of the flange 41 is provided on the bottom plate 81. When the box body is folded, the fourth folding plate 4 folds downwards, and its flange 41 is precisely inserted into the insertion groove 42 of the bottom plate 81. This insertion fit can be tight, or even designed to have a certain degree of friction to ensure a stable connection. For example, the flange 41 can be designed with barbs or snap-fit ​​structures, and the insertion groove 42 is correspondingly designed with matching locking positions, so that once inserted, a reliable lock is formed, further enhancing the pull-out and shear resistance of the bottom of the box body.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, the proposed magnetic folding reusable eco-friendly box may experience interference between the folding plates or failure to be effectively fixed during folding and storage, resulting in an unstable folding state that affects storage efficiency and ease of reuse. To address this issue, this application further optimizes the folding structure of the box, enabling it to achieve a stable storage state after folding. This is achieved through the following method: the box further includes a third folding plate 3 and a fourth folding plate 4; the third folding plate 3 and the fifth folding plate 5 are disposed on the inner side of the folded fourth folding plate 4, and a gap is formed between the outer surface of the third folding plate 3 and the inner surface of the fourth folding plate 4 to accommodate the first folding plate 1.

[0035] The third folding plate 3 and the fourth folding plate 4 are important components of the box body. Through a specific folding method, they jointly construct the internal structure of the box after folding. The third folding plate 3 and the fifth folding plate 5 are designed to be located inside the fourth folding plate 4 after the box body is folded. This means that during the folding process, the fourth folding plate 4 forms an outer covering layer, while the third folding plate 3 and the fifth folding plate 5 are housed within it. More specifically, a predetermined gap is formed between the outer surface of the third folding plate 3 and the inner surface of the fourth folding plate 4. The size and shape of this gap are precisely designed to perfectly accommodate the first folding plate 1.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, when the box is unfolded, the third folding plate 3, the fourth folding plate 4, and the fifth folding plate 5 are all laid flat. When folding for storage is required, the fifth folding plate 5 is first folded inwards so that it fits against the bottom plate 81 or an adjacent folding plate. Then, the third folding plate 3 is folded inwards so that its outer surface faces the inner surface of the fourth folding plate 4. Finally, the fourth folding plate 4 is folded inwards so that it covers the third folding plate 3 and the fifth folding plate 5. During this process, the first folding plate 1 is guided and inserted into the gap formed between the outer surface of the third folding plate 3 and the inner surface of the fourth folding plate 4. For example, the width of this gap can be designed to be slightly larger than the thickness of the first folding plate 1 to ensure that the first folding plate 1 can be smoothly inserted and securely held. In this way, the box forms a compact and stable structure after folding, and the first folding plate 1 is effectively fixed in a preset position, preventing loosening during handling or storage.

[0037] In the above-described embodiments of this application, the first folding plate 1 and the fifth folding plate 5 are fixed by the magnetic cooperation of the buckle 11 and the magnetic plate 6. However, in actual use, relying solely on magnetic force for positioning, the buckle 11 is prone to displacement when subjected to external impact, resulting in an unstable connection between the first folding plate 1 and the fifth folding plate 5.

[0038] In response, this application proposes an improvement, namely, to open a slot 52 on the fifth fold plate 5. The slot 52 is used to guide the snap fastener 11 to be adsorbed and positioned. Through the structural design of the slot 52, the adsorption position of the snap fastener 11 can be limited, thereby improving the stability of the connection.

[0039] The slot 52 refers to the recessed structure formed on the fifth fold plate 5. Its shape and size are adapted to the buckle 11. The depth of the slot 52 can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the buckle 11 can be firmly embedded in it and avoid accidental detachment during use.

[0040] In some embodiments, this application further proposes an improvement by adding a second folding plate 2, a front baffle 9, and a front side plate 71 to the box body. Through the cooperation of these components, the reliability of the box body closure is further improved.

[0041] The front baffle 9 is connected to the end of the second folding plate 2, meaning that the front baffle 9 is an extension of the second folding plate 2, forming an integral structure. After folding, the second folding plate 2 fits against the inner surface of the fifth folding plate 5, and the front baffle 9 fits against the front side plate 71. Specifically, during the folding process, the outer surface of the second folding plate 2 is in close contact with the inner surface of the fifth folding plate 5, forming a stable support structure. At the same time, driven by the second folding plate 2, the front baffle 9 fits tightly against the front side plate 71, forming a closed structure, thereby effectively preventing the box from opening accidentally.

[0042] In the embodiments described above in this application, the fifth folding plate 5 and the magnetic plate 6 are usually fixed by adhesive bonding. However, after fixing by adhesive bonding, it is inconvenient to disassemble and replace them later. In view of this, this application proposes an improved solution, namely, to provide a dovetail groove 51 on the fifth folding plate 5 and a dovetail flange 61 on the magnetic plate 6 that slides with the dovetail groove 51. Through the sliding engagement of the dovetail groove 51 and the dovetail flange 61, the magnetic plate 6 can be easily installed and disassembled, which facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0043] Among them, the dovetail groove 51 refers to a groove structure with a specific cross-sectional shape, characterized by the inward inclination of the sidewalls of the groove, forming a shape similar to a dovetail. The dovetail flange 61 refers to a protruding structure that cooperates with the dovetail groove 51. Its cross-sectional shape matches the internal shape of the dovetail groove 51, allowing it to be embedded in the dovetail groove 51 and connected and fixed by sliding.

[0044] In some embodiments, this application further proposes an improvement, namely, that a slot is provided on the first folding plate 1, and an insert plate 111 is provided on the fastener 11 to engage with the slot. Through the cooperation of the slot and the insert plate 111, the fastener 11 and the first folding plate 1 can be quickly installed and disassembled, thereby improving installation efficiency and maintainability.

[0045] The slot refers to a structure formed on the first folding plate 1 for accommodating and fixing the insert plate 111. Its shape and size are adapted to the insert plate 111 to ensure that the insert plate 111 is not easily loosened after being inserted. The insert plate 111 refers to a protruding structure set on the buckle 11 for inserting into the slot of the first folding plate 1 to realize the connection and fixation between the buckle 11 and the first folding plate 1.

[0046] Based on the above embodiments of this application, in order to further improve the stability of the connection between the buckle 11 and the first folding plate 1, this application provides a preferred solution, that is, a groove 113 is further provided on the first folding plate 1, and a protrusion 112 is further provided on the buckle 11 to engage with the groove 113.

[0047] The groove 113 refers to a receiving space with a certain depth and shape provided on the first folding plate 1, whose main function is to provide a position for the protrusion 112 to be inserted and locked. The protrusion 112 refers to an outward protruding structure provided on the fastener 11, whose size and shape are adapted to the groove 113, and can be inserted into the groove 113 to achieve locking.

[0048] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application.
