Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging container technology, and in particular to a novel cardboard box type. Background Technology

[0002] In the production, transportation, and sales of batteries, packaging cartons are a key component that protects batteries from damage caused by collisions and friction.

[0003] Traditional cardboard boxes often use a slotted structure, requiring the top and bottom to be sealed with tape, a time-consuming process. Opening the box requires cutting the tape with a knife, which is inconvenient and prone to accidental damage, rendering the box unusable, wasting packaging materials, and increasing costs. Furthermore, traditional cardboard boxes are closed structures with a bottom and lid. When loading and unloading batteries, they must be moved and completely placed inside the box. During this process, the batteries are prone to friction or collisions with the box edges and external objects, causing scratches on the battery casing and affecting product quality. The closed structure also makes folding and unfolding difficult, resulting in inconvenient packaging and low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a novel cardboard box design, the specific technical solution of which is as follows: A novel cardboard box design includes two sets of folding sections, each folding section comprising a main box panel. In a flattened state, the main box panel is connected to a side box panel at its first end along the length direction, and to a top box panel one at its first end along the width direction. A second top box panel is connected to the side of the first top box panel away from the main box panel, and a third top box panel is connected to the side of the side box panel at its first end along the width direction. A top-side box panel is connected to the side of the first top box panel near the third top box panel. The side box panel in the first set of folding sections, away from the main box panel, is connected to the second end along the length direction of the main box panel in the second set of folding sections. A fixed box panel is connected to the second end along the length direction of the main box panel in the first set of folding sections. In a flattened state, the cardboard box design forms a hollow rectangular body with only one opening.

[0005] Preferably, a notch is formed between the first end of the second top box panel in the length direction and the first end of the first top box panel in the width direction.

[0006] Preferably, in the folded state, the two top box panels are stacked facing each other and connected by two interlocking notches. The two top side box panels and the top box panel are also arranged facing each other, and the top box panel is located below the adjacent top side box panels.

[0007] Preferably, the main box panel and the side box panel are both rectangular, and the top box panel one, top box panel two, top side box panel, top box panel three and the fixed box panel are all trapezoidal.

[0008] Preferably, the connection points of the main box panel, side box panel, top box panel 1, and fixed box panel all have crease 1; the top box panel 1 and top box panel 2 are integrally formed without creases; the connection point of the top box panel 1 and top side box panel has crease 2; and the connection point of the side box panel and top box panel 3 has crease 3.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Traditional cardboard boxes rely on tape for sealing, requiring 3-5 turns of tape, which is time-consuming. This utility model uses "the notch of the second top box plate cross-locking + the top side box plate and the top box plate three stacked and fixed", which eliminates the need for any tape and can quickly complete the top sealing. At the same time, the bottomless structure eliminates the bottom sealing step, shortening the overall packaging time.

[0010] 2. Traditional cardboard boxes require the batteries to be placed inside during transport, resulting in a high rate of product damage. This new bottomless structure allows the cardboard box to be directly fitted over the fixed batteries, completely eliminating the need for handling and significantly reducing product damage. The rectangular structure of the main box panel and side box panels fits perfectly against the batteries, dispersing impact forces during transport. The trapezoidal structure of the top box panel and top and side box panels forms complete top protection, preventing foreign objects from falling and damaging the batteries, further ensuring product quality.

[0011] 3. Traditional cardboard boxes require an additional 2-3 layers of cardboard at the bottom and consume a large amount of tape; this invention eliminates the bottom structure and eliminates the need for tape, directly reducing material consumption. The trapezoidal design of the fixing box panel avoids the waste of cutting excess cardboard; the notch in the second top box panel achieves the locking function while reducing cardboard consumption, further reducing costs.

[0012] 4. Traditional cardboard boxes require opening to check the product status, and the cycle of opening, inspecting, and resealing is time-consuming; the side panel of this utility model is lower than the height of the battery, and operators can directly check the product through the gap at the top of the side panel without opening the box, thus shortening maintenance time.

[0013] 5. The tape-free design avoids plastic waste pollution; no tape separation is required during recycling, improving recycling efficiency; the corrugated cardboard is completely biodegradable. The crease design of each component ensures it is not easily broken during folding and flattening, allowing the box to be reused and increasing resource recycling rates compared to traditional disposable cardboard boxes; even when discarded, the cardboard can be used as raw material for recycled paper, further reducing resource waste.

[0016] 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.

[0017] Example A new type of cardboard box, please refer to Figures 1-3 It includes two sets of symmetrically arranged carton folding sections. Among the main box panel 1 and the side box panel 2, the main box panel 1 is rectangular and made of high-strength corrugated cardboard (preferably three- or five-layer corrugated structure). It has good compression resistance and bending resistance and is the main load-bearing surface of the carton.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, each of the two sets of cardboard box folding sections contains one main box panel 1, for a total of two panels. The second end (left side) of the main box panel 1 along the length direction (X-direction) of the first set of folding sections is connected to the fixed box panel, and the first end (right side) along the length direction is connected to the side box panel 2. The second end (left side) of the main box panel 1 along the length direction of the second set of folding sections is connected to the side of the side box panel 2 of the first set of folding sections away from the main box panel 1, forming a continuous splicing structure of "main box panel 1 - side box panel 2 - main box panel 1". These two sides of the cardboard box serve as lateral supports for the battery, preventing lateral displacement during transportation. The rectangular structure design ensures complete contact with the battery sides, maximizing the contact area to distribute pressure and avoid localized pressure causing cardboard box deformation.

[0019] Side panel 2 is a rectangular sheet, made of the same material as main panel 1, with the same width as the height of main panel 1 (i.e., the height of the carton), and its length matches the front and rear depth of the battery. The first end (right side) along the length direction (X-direction) connects to the main panel 1 of the first fold section, and the second end (left side) along the length direction connects to the main panel 1 of the second fold section. A crease (1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the cardboard thickness) is provided at the connection between side panel 2 and main panel 1 to ensure it is not easily broken during folding. As the other two opposite sides of the carton (front and rear sides), it, together with the two main panels 1, forms a "bottomless and topless" rectangular frame, constituting the storage space for the battery. The rectangular structure, in conjunction with the main panels 1, ensures the squareness of the frame and prevents the battery from tilting. Simultaneously, the height of side panel 2 is lower than the height of the battery, exposing the electrode area at the top of the battery, making it easy for operators to inspect the battery's appearance and electrode status without opening the box for inspection.

[0020] The top cover components include top box panel 3, top box panel 31, top side box panel 42, and top box panel 5. The top box panel 3 is trapezoidal in shape. The length of the upper base is the same as the width of the main box panel 1 (the width of the carton), the length of the lower base is longer than the upper base, and the waist length is adapted to the height of the carton. The material is high-strength corrugated cardboard with a waterproof coating on the surface (optional).

[0021] Each top box panel 3 has its first end (upper side) along the width direction (Y direction) connected to the top edge of the main box panel 1, with a crease at the connection. The side of top box panel 3 away from the main box panel 1 (upper side) is integrally formed with top box panel 2 31 without creases. The side of top box panel 3 closest to top box panel 3 5 (front and rear side) is connected to the top side box panel 42, with a crease at the connection. As the core component of the top cover, it achieves initial sealing through the folding of two top box panels 3 in opposite directions. The trapezoidal structure design ensures that the top bottoms of the two top box panels 3 can completely overlap when folded, avoiding gaps. The integrated connection with top box panel 2 31 and top side box panel 42 reduces splicing gaps, improves top sealing, and prevents dust and rainwater from entering the carton.

[0022] Top box panel 2 31 is a trapezoidal sheet, integrally formed with top box panel 1 3. Its upper base length is shorter than that of top box panel 1 3, while its lower base length is the same as that of the upper base of top box panel 1 3. Its waist length is the same as that of top box panel 1 3. A notch 310, triangular in shape, is provided between the first end (right side) of top box panel 2 31 along its length direction (X-direction) and the first end (upper side) of top box panel 1 3 along its width direction (Y-direction). It is integrally formed with top box panel 1 3, without independent connecting creases, and moves synchronously with the folding of top box panel 1 3.

[0023] The notch 310 interlocks with the notch 310 of another top box panel 31, achieving mechanical locking of the two top box panels 31, which can fix the top cover without tape; the right-angled triangular structure of the notch 310 ensures that they can interlock when interlocked, preventing the top box panels from loosening due to vibration during transportation; at the same time, the one-piece molding design avoids additional splicing and reduces the amount of consumables.

[0024] The top side panel 42 is trapezoidal in shape. The length of the bottom base is the same as the waist length of the top panel 3, the length of the top base is shorter than the bottom base, and the waist length is matched with the height of the side panel 2 (the height of the carton). The material is the same as that of the top panel 3.

[0025] Each top side panel 42 connects to the front and rear edges of top panel 3 along its width direction (Y direction) at its first end (upper side), with a second crease at the connection (the crease direction is perpendicular to the first crease). This assists top panel 3 5 in achieving secondary reinforcement of the top cover. By flipping the top side panel 42 upwards, space is provided for folding top panel 3 5. After top panel 3 5 is folded into place, the top side panel 42 is restored and pressed on top of top panel 3 5, forming a superimposed structure of "top side panel 42 - top panel 3 5", further improving the stability of the top cover. The right-angled trapezoidal structure ensures complete fit with the edges of top panel 3 5 and side panel 2, preventing loosening.

[0026] Top box panel 35 is trapezoidal in shape. The length of the upper bottom is the same as the width (depth of the carton) of side box panel 2, the length of the lower bottom is longer than the upper bottom, and the waist length is matched with the vertical waist length of the top side box panel 42. The material is the same as that of top box panel 13.

[0027] Each top box panel 35 has its first end (upper side) along the width direction (Y direction) connected to the top edge of the side box panel 2, with a crease 3 at the connection (the crease direction is parallel to crease 1). It cooperates with the top and side box panels 42 to achieve a front-to-back sealing of the top; after folding inwards, the upper bottom of the top box panel 35 overlaps with the upper bottom of another top box panel 35 and is located below the top and side box panels 42, and its position is fixed by the pressure of the top and side box panels 42; the trapezoidal structure design ensures that after folding, it can completely cover the front and back areas of the top of the carton, forming a complete closed top space with the top box panel 1 3, while avoiding interference with the intersecting top box panels 2 31.

[0028] The fixing plate is trapezoidal in shape, with the bottom base length matching the length of the main plate 1 (the depth of the carton), the top base length being shorter than the bottom base, and the waist length matching the height of the main plate 1 (the height of the carton). It is made of high-strength corrugated cardboard, and the surface can be coated with adhesive (optional, for auxiliary fixing). Its second end (left side) along the length direction (X direction) connects to the second end (left side) along the length direction of the main plate 1 of the first folding section, with a crease at the connection point. This allows for frame fixing after the carton is folded. During folding, the fixing plate can be glued to the inside of the adjacent side plate 2, or inserted into the gap between the side plate 2 and the main plate 1, preventing the carton frame from opening due to external force. The right-angled trapezoidal structure ensures a close fit with the edges of the main plate 1 and side plate 2, preventing protruding parts from scratching the battery or operators.

[0029] Crease 1 is located at the connection between main box plate 1 and side box plate 2, main box plate 1 and top box plate 3, and main box plate 1 and fixed box plate. It is a longitudinal crease (along the Y direction) with a depth of 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the cardboard thickness. Its function is to guide the cardboard to fold in a fixed direction, ensuring that the carton frame is square after folding and avoiding breakage at the crease.

[0030] Crease 2 is located at the connection between top box panel 3 and top side box panel 42. It is a horizontal indentation (along the X direction) with the same depth as crease 1. Its function is to guide the top side box panel 42 to flip upward or return downward, ensuring that the top side box panel 42 and top box panel 3 5 are accurately matched.

[0031] Crease three is located at the connection between side box panel 2 and top box panel three 5. It is a longitudinal crease (along the Y direction) with the same depth as crease one. Its function is to guide the top box panel three 5 to fold towards each other, ensuring that the top box panel three 5 can accurately cover the front and back areas of the top of the carton.

[0032] The notch 310 is located at the connection between top box plate 2 31 and top box plate 1 3. It is triangular in shape and its function is to achieve cross locking of the two top box plates 1 3, replacing the fixing function of the tape, while reducing the amount of cardboard used and avoiding interference between the top box plates 2 31 when folding.

[0033] Folding and shaping steps 1. Unfolding and positioning the cardboard: Flatten the one-piece molded cardboard. Figure 1 (Status), confirm the position of each component: main box panel 1 and side box panel 2 are located in the middle, top box panel 1 3, top box panel 2 31, top side box panel 42, and top box panel 3 5 are located at the top, and the fixed box panel is located on the left side.

[0034] 2. Folding Frame Structure: Along the first crease between the main box panel 1 and the side box panel 2, fold the side box panel 2 inwards by 90° to the inside of the main box panel 1, making the side box panel 2 perpendicular to the main box panel 1; along the first crease between the side box panel 2 and the second set of main box panels 1, fold the second set of main box panels 1 inwards by 90° to the inside of the side box panel 2, making the two main box panels 1 parallel and opposite each other, with the side box panel 2 located between the two main box panels 1, forming a "rectangular frame" (without bottom or top); along the first crease between the first set of main box panels 1 and the fixed box panel, fold the fixed box panel inwards by 90° to the inside of the frame, and glue it to the inside of the side box panel 2, or insert it into the gap between the side box panel 2 and the second set of main box panels 1, to fix the frame structure and prevent the frame from opening.

[0035] 3. Folding the top cover: Along the crease 1 of the main box panel 1 and the top box panel 3, fold the two top box panels 3 towards the center of the top of the frame, so that the top bottoms of the two top box panels 3 overlap. At the same time, the second top box panel 31 folds along with the top box panel 3, and the two panels interlock through the notch 310 to achieve the initial sealing. Figure 3 (State); along the second crease between top box panel 1 3 and top side box panel 42, flip the two top side box panels 42 upwards by 90° to expose the folding space of top box panel 3 5; along the third crease between side box panel 2 and top box panel 3 5, fold the two top box panels 3 5 towards the center of the top of the frame, so that the top bottom of top box panel 3 5 overlaps and is located below top side box panel 42; restore top side box panel 42 downwards along crease 2, pressing it on top of top box panel 3 5, forming a superimposed and fixed structure of "top side box panel 42 - top box panel 3 5", completing the top cover ( Figure 2 state).

[0036] Battery installation, removal and use process 1. Loading the battery: Since the cardboard box has no bottom, simply place the folded cardboard box over the battery placed on the tray or the ground from top to bottom until the bottom of the cardboard box contacts the tray; there is no need to move the battery during the process, avoiding friction and collision damage.

[0037] 2. Check product status: The height of the side panel 2 of the carton is lower than the height of the battery. Operators can check the appearance and electrode status of the battery through the gap at the top of the side panel 2 without opening the box.

[0038] 3. Transportation and storage: The top cover is secured by "top box plate 2 31 cross locking + top side box plate 42 - top box plate 3 5 stacking fixation", which can maintain stability without tape and will not loosen due to vibration during transportation; the five-layer corrugated structure of the carton can withstand stacking pressure and is suitable for warehouse storage.

[0039] 4. Remove the battery: Simply remove the cardboard box from the battery from top to bottom to complete the removal. If you need to reuse the battery, simply flatten the cardboard box and fold it again. No repair or replacement of parts is required.

[0040] Cardboard box recycling and reuse During recycling, since there is no tape residue, the cardboard box can be flattened and compressed directly without the need for manual separation of the tape, thus improving recycling efficiency. If the cardboard box is not obviously damaged, it can be flattened and folded repeatedly for reuse, up to 3 to 5 times, significantly improving the resource recycling rate. After disposal, corrugated cardboard is completely biodegradable, produces no plastic pollution, and meets environmental protection requirements.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is 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.
