[0002] With the booming development of the fast food industry, the corresponding food packaging has also developed into various styles. Paper boxes are a commonly used packaging material in food packaging. However, the current packaging boxes have a single shape and cannot be made into multiple forms, so they can only play the role of packaging. Therefore, a new type of paper box needs to be designed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0003] Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of this invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and other accompanying drawings.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a paper box with a lantern structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is: a paper box with a lantern structure, comprising a box body, the box body including a top piece, a bottom piece, and several side pieces, the number of sides of the top piece and the bottom piece being equal to the number of side pieces, the several side pieces being interconnected to form a whole, the side pieces located at both ends being fixedly connected to each other by connecting pieces, the two top pieces being divided into two segments, the two segments being fixedly connected to two opposite side pieces respectively, and the side pieces being provided with limiting mechanisms for limiting the two segments. The bottom sheet is fixedly connected to one of the side sheets. The bottom sheet is fixedly connected to the opposite side sheet via a second connecting piece. The second connecting piece is fixedly connected to the side sheet opposite to the side sheet to which the bottom sheet is fixed. The side sheet not connected to the bottom sheet and the second connecting piece is provided with an edge sealing piece. Each side sheet is provided with a tearable sheet that can be torn off along the tear line. Each tearable sheet is provided with a snap-fit ​​mechanism for snapping together with other tearable sheets. The bottom sheet is provided with a fixing mechanism for fixing the tearable sheets.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the side panels are connected to form the side walls of the cardboard box, the top panel serves as the top cover, and the bottom panel forms the bottom. Several side panels are integrated, with creases between adjacent side panels. During assembly, one side panel is glued to a connecting piece at the other end, and the bottom panel is glued to a connecting piece. The top panel is divided into two sections, allowing the top cover of the cardboard box to open. A limiting mechanism can be used to limit the sections, keeping them sealed on the side panels, thus keeping the cardboard box closed. Tearable pieces on each side panel can be torn off along the tear lines, creating windows on the side panels. The torn pieces can be connected together by a snap-fit ​​mechanism to form a polygonal column, which can be fixed... The fixed mechanism is attached to the base film. Each tearable piece can be decorated with a picture, and each tearable piece faces the window. By placing a light source inside the box, the box can be turned into a carousel, allowing it to be reusable by changing its shape. The tear marks are lines with multiple spaced connection points. Normally, the tearable pieces are integrated with the side pieces. By breaking the connection points on the tear marks, the tearable pieces can be removed from the side pieces. There are no gaps between the side pieces and the connecting piece 2, as well as between the side pieces and the base film, because they are connected to each other. However, there will be gaps when other side pieces and the base film are not connected and are combined. These gaps are sealed with edge sealing pieces, which also strengthen the bottom of the box and prevent leakage.

[0007] Preferably, each of the two segments is provided with a handle. The two handles have creases between them and the segments, allowing them to be folded perpendicular to the top segment, thus serving as handles for the cardboard box.

[0008] Preferably, the edge sealing sheet comprises several half-pieces, which are bonded together, and each half-piece is connected to one of the side pieces. This invention divides the sealing sheet into several half-pieces, allowing the edge sealing sheet to be disassembled when not assembled, thus forming a flat surface.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes hook pieces and ring pieces. Hook pieces are fixedly connected to both sides of the two handheld pieces, and the ring pieces are disposed on the side pieces at positions corresponding to the hook pieces. This invention achieves the limiting of the handheld pieces through the interlocking of the hook pieces and the ring.

[0010] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​mechanism includes two snap-fit ​​openings, which are respectively located on both sides of the tearable sheet, and the two snap-fit ​​openings face opposite directions. This invention allows the tearable sheets to be combined to form a polygonal column by interlocking the downward-facing snap-fit ​​opening of one tearable sheet with the upward-facing snap-fit ​​opening of the other tearable sheet.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a plurality of inserts, which are disposed on the base plate, and each insert has an opening. In this invention, the inserts are perpendicular to the base plate with the openings facing upwards, allowing the tearable sheet to be inserted into the openings. The tearable sheet is fixed by the multiple inserts engaging with it.

[0012] Preferably, each insert is part of the substrate, with its bottom edge forming a crease on the substrate and the other edges forming tear marks on the substrate. This design allows the insert to be die-cut as part of the substrate, ensuring a seamless substrate under normal conditions. When used to secure a tearable piece, it separates from the substrate along the tear mark and folds upwards perpendicular to the substrate via the crease, thus functioning as a securing mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, both the base sheet and the sealing sheet have fold lines. This design allows the base sheet and sealing sheet to be folded upwards along the fold lines and tucked between the side sheets after assembly, enabling the cardboard box to be folded into a flat shape after assembly, thus facilitating the transportation and storage of the cardboard box.

[0014] Preferably, the edge of the base sheet is provided with protrusions, the two protrusions are symmetrical to each other, and a limiting opening is provided at the connection between the sealing sheet and the side sheet for the protrusions to be inserted. This utility model uses the cooperation of the protrusions and the limiting opening to limit the base sheet, so that the base sheet will not bulge upward due to creases.

[0015] Preferably, the side piece without the segmented section is provided with a tongue. This invention utilizes the tongue to enhance the sealing effect between the top piece and the side piece.

[0016] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. Each side panel has a tearable piece that can be torn off along the tear line, creating a window on the side panel. The torn pieces can be connected together by a snap-fit ​​mechanism to form a polygonal column, which can be fixed to the base panel by a fixing mechanism. Each tearable piece can be decorated with a picture, and each piece faces the window. By placing a light source inside the box, the box can be transformed into a lantern-like structure. With adjustments to the pictures, the lantern can be made to resemble a carousel shape, allowing the box to be repurposed and transformed. It is also interactive, which can increase consumers' desire to purchase.

[0018] 2. By setting the backing film and edge sealing creases, the cardboard box can be flattened into a flat box, which is convenient for storage and transportation;

[0019] 3. The main structure of this design is a hexagonal cardboard box, combined with hooks, rings, and handles to give the overall cardboard box a more three-dimensional feel. The bottom edge sealing piece and connecting piece two make the bottom more stable and less prone to collapse. In addition, there are protrusions and limiting holes to prevent the bottom from shaking.

[0036] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a lantern-shaped paper box includes a box body, which comprises a top piece 1, a bottom piece 2, and several side pieces 3. The number of sides of the top piece 1 and the bottom piece 2 is equal to the number of side pieces 3. The side pieces 3 are interconnected to form a whole. The side pieces 3 at both ends are fixedly connected to each other by connecting pieces 4. The two top pieces 1 are divided into two segments 5, which are respectively fixedly connected to two opposite side pieces 3. The side pieces 3 are provided with limiting mechanisms for limiting the two segments 5. The bottom piece 2 is fixedly connected to the side pieces 3. On one of the side pieces 3, the bottom piece 2 is fixedly connected to the opposite side piece 3 via a connecting piece 2 7. The connecting piece 2 7 is fixedly connected to the side piece 3 opposite to the side piece 3 on which the bottom piece 2 is fixed. The side piece 3 not connected to the bottom piece 2 and the connecting piece 2 7 is provided with an edge sealing piece 9. Each side piece 3 is provided with a tearable piece 8 that can be torn off along the tear line. Each tearable piece 8 is provided with a snap-fit ​​mechanism for snapping with other tearable pieces 8. The bottom piece 2 is provided with a fixing mechanism for fixing the tearable pieces 8.

[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, the side panels 3 are connected to form the side walls of the cardboard box, the top panel 1 serves as the top cover of the cardboard box, and the bottom panel 2 forms the bottom of the cardboard box. Several side panels 3 are integrated, with creases between adjacent side panels 3. During assembly, one side panel 3 is glued to the connecting piece 4 at the other end, and the bottom panel 2 is glued to the connecting piece 7. The top panel 1 is divided into two pieces 5, allowing the top cover of the cardboard box to open. A limiting mechanism can limit the pieces 5, keeping the two pieces 5 sealed on the side panels 3, thus keeping the cardboard box in a closed state. The tearable piece 8 on each side panel 3 can be torn off along the tear line, forming a window on the side panel 3. The torn tearable pieces 8 can be connected to each other through a snap-fit ​​mechanism to form a polygonal column, allowing for ventilation. The paper box is fixed to the base 2 by a fixing mechanism. Each tearable piece 8 can be decorated with a picture and faces the window. By placing a light source inside the box, the box can be turned into a carousel, allowing it to be reusable by changing its shape. The tear marks are lines with multiple spaced connection points. Normally, the tearable piece 8 is integrated with the side piece 3. By breaking the connection points on the tear marks, the tearable piece 8 can be removed from the side piece 3. There are no gaps between the side piece 3 and the connecting piece 7, and between the side piece 3 and the base 2, because they are connected to each other. However, there will be gaps when the other side pieces 3 and the base 2 are not connected and are spliced ​​together. These gaps are sealed by the edge sealing piece 9, which also strengthens the bottom of the box and prevents leakage.

[0038] Each of the two segments 5 is provided with a handle 6. There is a crease between the two handles 6 and the segments 5, which can be folded to be perpendicular to the top segment 1, thus serving as a handle for the cardboard box.

[0039] The edge sealing sheet 9 comprises several half sheets 10, which are glued together. Each half sheet 10 is connected to a side sheet 3. By dividing the sealing sheet into several half sheets 10, the edge sealing sheet 9 can be disassembled when not assembled, thus forming a flat surface.

[0040] The limiting mechanism includes hook pieces 11 and ring pieces 12. Hook pieces 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the two handpieces 6, and ring pieces 12 are set on the side piece 3 at the position corresponding to the hook pieces 11. The handpieces 6 are limited by the mutual engagement of the hook pieces 11 and the hook ring.

[0041] The snap-fit ​​mechanism includes two snap-fit ​​openings 13, which are respectively opened on both sides of the tearable piece 8 and face opposite directions. By inserting the snap-fit ​​opening 13 of one tearable piece 8 facing downwards into the snap-fit ​​opening 13 of the other tearable piece 8 facing upwards, the tearable pieces 8 can be combined to form a polygonal column.

[0042] The fixing mechanism includes several inserts 14, which are disposed on the base plate 2. Each insert 14 has an opening 15. The inserts 14 are perpendicular to the base plate 2, with the openings 15 facing upwards. The tearable piece 8 can be inserted into the openings 15. The tearable piece 8 is fixed by the multiple inserts 14 engaging with it.

[0043] Each insert 14 is part of the film 2. The bottom edge of the insert 14 is a crease on the film 2, and the other edges of the insert 14 are tear marks on the film 2. This arrangement allows the insert 14 to be die-cut as part of the film 2. Under normal conditions, as part of the film 2, it ensures that the film 2 has no holes. When used to fix the tearable piece 8, it separates from the film 2 along the tear mark and folds upwards perpendicular to the film 2 through the crease, thus playing the role of a fixing mechanism.

[0044] Both the base sheet 2 and the edge sealing sheet 9 have fold lines 16. This design allows the base sheet 2 and the edge sealing sheet 9 to be folded upwards along the fold lines 16 and tucked between the side sheets 3 after assembly, so that the cardboard box can be folded into a flat shape after assembly, which facilitates the transportation and storage of the cardboard box.

[0045] The edge of the backing sheet 2 is provided with protrusions 17, and the two protrusions 17 are symmetrical to each other. A limiting opening 18 is provided at the connection between the edge sealing sheet 9 and the side sheet 3 for inserting the protrusions 17. The cooperation between the protrusions 17 and the limiting opening 18 is used to limit the backing sheet 2, so that the backing sheet 2 will not bulge upward due to the crease 16.

[0046] The side piece 3, which does not have a segment 5, is provided with a tongue 19. The tongue 19 is used to enhance the sealing effect between the top piece 1 and the side piece 3.

[0047] In summary, taking 6 side panels as an example, the assembly method of the cardboard box is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the segment 5, handheld piece 6, hook piece 11, ring piece 12, side piece 3, tearable piece 8, bottom piece 2, insert piece 14, connecting piece 1 4, connecting piece 2 7, half piece 10, and protruding piece 17 are integrally formed. During assembly, the outermost side piece 3 is bonded to the connecting piece 1 4, the connecting piece 2 7 is bonded to the bottom piece 2, the two half pieces 10 are bonded to each other, the two segments 5 are bent to cover the upper end of the side piece 3, the two handheld pieces 6 are bent and perpendicular to the segments 5, the hook pieces 11 on both sides of the handheld piece 6 are inserted into the ring piece 12, and the insert tongue 19 is folded under the segment 5 before the segment 5 is bent. The cardboard box is assembled in the above manner. The planar structure is formed by folding the six side pieces 3 along the fold line 16 on the same plane, so that the six side pieces 3 are attached to each other in pairs. At this time, the side wall of the cardboard box forms a planar structure. The bottom piece 2 and the sealing piece 9 are bent upward along the fold line 16 and tucked into the side pieces 3.

[0048] The method of assembling the carousel is as follows: tear off 6 tearable pieces 8, snap the 6 tearable pieces 8 together with the snap 13, tear off a portion of all the insert pieces 14 along the tear lines and bend them upwards perpendicular to the base piece 2, and insert the tearable pieces 8 into the slots 15 on the insert pieces 14, thereby assembling the carousel.

[0049] In addition, the number of side pieces is not necessarily 6; the number of side pieces can be 3 or more.

[0050] It should be noted that many specific details have been set forth in the above description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
