Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging container technology, specifically to a multifunctional packaging box that can be transformed into a cat bed, which is particularly suitable for the packaging, transportation and storage of pet supplies. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of e-commerce and the increase in pet ownership, the demand for pet product packaging is growing daily, and the market demand for pet beds, as essential items for cats' daily lives, is also expanding. However, existing technologies for pet product packaging and pet bed designs have the following significant drawbacks.

[0003] Currently, pet supplies are mostly packaged in disposable boxes (such as corrugated cardboard boxes and plastic boxes). The core function of these boxes is simply to protect and seal the items during transportation and storage. Once the pet supplies are removed, the boxes are usually discarded. On the one hand, the large-scale disposal of disposable boxes leads to a serious waste of resources such as paper and plastic, which is inconsistent with the industrial development trend of "green environmental protection and recycling." On the other hand, the disposal of discarded boxes (such as incineration and landfill) also places an additional burden on the environment, contradicting the low-carbon concept advocated by society.

[0004] Currently, there is no technological solution that can effectively combine the packaging function of pet products with the usability of cat beds: existing packaging designs do not consider the possibility of reuse as pet products, and their structures (such as sealing methods and strength design) are only adapted to packaging needs and cannot be directly converted into cat beds; while existing cat bed designs do not take into account the protection and sealing needs of packaging, and cannot be used as the initial packaging for pet products. This functional separation results in two independent resource consumption links in the pet product industry chain: "packaging production-use-disposal" and "cat bed production-transportation-use," which increases the production and transportation costs for enterprises and brings additional purchase costs and resource waste to users. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a multi-purpose packaging box that, after fulfilling the function of packaging items, can be disassembled or transformed into a packaging box for a cat drinking water device.

[0006] This utility model provides a packaging box that can transform into a cat bed, comprising:

[0007] The main body of the packaging box is a hollow cuboid structure with an opening at the top;

[0008] Each side of the cuboid is fixedly connected to an opening at its top, and the opening has two working states:

[0009] In the first working state, the opening pieces are folded down and spliced ​​together to seal the upper opening of the packaging box body, so that the item to be packaged is sealed inside the packaging box body;

[0010] In the second working state, the opening pieces fold upward and cooperate with each other to form the top structure of the cat's nest;

[0011] One side of the main body of the packaging box is also provided with a detachable opening. After the opening is removed from the main body of the packaging box, an entrance for the cat to enter the cat bed is formed on this side.

[0012] Furthermore, the opening plate is provided with slots. When the opening plate is in the second working state, after the separable opening is removed, its edge is adapted to and inserted into the slots on at least two opening plates to jointly form the top structure of the cat bed.

[0013] Furthermore, the opening piece is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure, which includes a protruding buckle and a buckle groove adapted to the protruding buckle. When the opening piece is in the second working state, adjacent opening pieces are fixed to each other by the snap-fit ​​of the protruding buckle and the buckle groove to form the top structure of the cat bed.

[0014] Furthermore, of the four opening pieces, two of the oppositely arranged opening pieces are triangular structures, and the other two oppositely arranged opening pieces are square structures. When the opening pieces are in the second working state, the two triangular opening pieces are located on both sides of the top structure, and the two square opening pieces are respectively attached to the sides of the triangular opening pieces and spliced ​​together to form a pointed cat bed top structure with triangular sides.

[0015] Furthermore, the base length of the triangular opening is the same as the top length of the side of the main body of the packaging box, and the side length of the square opening is the same as the waist length of the triangular opening, to ensure that the edges of the openings fit together completely when they are joined, forming a sealed, pointed top structure.

[0016] Furthermore, of the four opening pieces, two of the oppositely arranged opening pieces are arc-shaped structures, and the other two oppositely arranged opening pieces are deformable square structures. When the opening pieces are in the second working state, the deformable square structure deforms along the arc direction of the arc structure, and its edge fits and splices with the edge of the arc-shaped opening piece to jointly form the top structure of the arc-shaped cat bed.

[0017] Furthermore, the detachable opening is connected to the side of the main body of the packaging box by an easy-tear line, which is an intermittent cutting line set along the edge of the opening. The user can remove the opening from the main body of the packaging box by tearing along the easy-tear line.

[0018] Furthermore, the opening piece is connected to the top of the side of the main body of the packaging box by a fold crease, which is a pre-pressed strip crease used to define the folding direction and folding angle of the opening piece.

[0019] Furthermore, a pull-out structure is provided at the lower end of the main body of the packaging box. The pull-out structure is a box with an internal groove for placing cat food. The pull-out structure can be pulled out and moved relative to the main body of the packaging box along the length or width direction.

[0020] Furthermore, a pull handle is provided on the outer wall of the pull-out structure. The pull handle is an outwardly protruding strip structure for the user to hold and pull the pull-out structure.

[0021] The packaging box provided in this embodiment of the utility model, after fulfilling the function of packaging items, can be disassembled or transformed into a packaging box for a cat drinking water device. Attached Figure Description

However, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

[0032] The terms "first" and "second" in this embodiment of the utility model are used only to distinguish related technical features and do not indicate a sequential order.

[0033] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0034] To make the technical solution of this utility model clearer and easier to understand, the following description is in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a detailed description of the packaging box that can be transformed into a cat bed through two typical embodiments.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the main body of the packaging box 110 is a hollow cuboid structure with an open top, made of resistant cardboard. Its internal cavity can be used for packaging pet supplies. Each of the four sides of the cuboid has an opening piece fixedly connected to its top via fold lines (pre-pressed strips). The four opening pieces are: the first opening piece 131 (rectangular structure), the second opening piece 132 (triangular structure), the third opening piece 133 (rectangular structure), and one opening piece is obscured by the viewing angle. Figure 1 Not fully shown, the initial state of the four opening pieces is perpendicular to the side of the main body 110 of the packaging box at 90° (unfolded state).

[0037] When used for packaging items, after placing the items to be packaged into the hollow cavity of the packaging box body 110, the four opening pieces are folded downwards along the fold lines: the two triangular second opening pieces 132 are first folded towards the center, with their bottom edges touching the upper edge of the packaging box body 110; then the first opening piece 131 and the third opening piece 133 are folded towards the center, covering the second opening piece 132, and the edges of the first opening piece 131 and the third opening piece 133 overlap each other, finally completely sealing the upper opening of the packaging box body 110, ensuring that the items to be packaged will not fall out of the cavity.

[0038] When you need to transform it into a cat bed, follow these steps:

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, one side of the packaging box body 110 (the side near the first opening piece 131) is provided with a detachable opening 120. The opening 120 has a triangular structure, and its edge is connected to the side of the packaging box body 110 by an easy-tear line (intermittent cutting line, corresponding to claim 7). The user can tear along the easy-tear line to remove the triangular opening 120 from the side. After removal, a triangular inlet with the same shape as the opening 120 is formed on this side (e.g., Figure 2 , 5 (As shown in Figure 6), for the cat to enter and exit the cat bed.

[0040] Fold the four opening pieces upwards along the fold lines. Since the two second opening pieces 132 are triangular structures arranged opposite each other, the length of their base sides is consistent with the length of the top of the side of the main body 110 of the packaging box (corresponding to claim 5). After folding, the vertices of the two second opening pieces 132 move closer to the center, forming the two sides of the pointed top. At the same time, fold the first opening piece 131 and the third opening piece 133 (rectangular structure) upwards, and their side lengths are consistent with the waist length of the second opening piece 132 (corresponding to claim 5). The first opening piece 131 fits against the waist of the left second opening piece 132, and the third opening piece 133 fits against the waist of the right second opening piece 132. The top edges of the first opening piece 131 and the third opening piece 133 are spliced ​​together, finally forming a pointed top structure 130 with triangular sides (as shown in claim 5). Figure 2 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, the top structure 130 can protect cats from dust or light rain.

[0041] also, Figure 7 , 8 A variation of this embodiment is shown: the opening 120 is a circular structure, and its edge is still connected to the main body of the packaging box 110 by an easy-tear line, forming a circular inlet after removal; the assembly method of the top structure 130 is the same as described above, and it is still a pointed type, only the shape of the inlet is different, which is suitable for cats that prefer a circular entrance.

[0042] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, a pull-out structure 140 is provided at the lower end of the main body 110 of the packaging box (the end away from the top structure 130). The pull-out structure 140 is a box with an internal groove, the volume of which can hold a certain amount of cat food. The pull-out structure 140 can be pulled and moved relative to the main body 110 of the packaging box along the length direction (parallel to the direction of the first opening piece 131). The user can add cat food into the groove by pulling the pull-out structure 140 outward. After pushing it back to its original position, the groove can be hidden to prevent the cat food from getting damp or dusty.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] The main body of the packaging box 110 is still a rectangular hollow structure with an opening at the top. The top of the four sides are connected by fold lines to form four opening pieces: the second opening piece 132 (arc structure), the first opening piece 131 (deformable rectangular structure), the second opening piece 132 (arc structure), and the third opening piece 133 (deformable rectangular structure). Due to the obstruction of the viewing angle, one more opening piece is not shown.

[0045] Same as in Example 1: After placing the item to be packaged into the cavity, fold the four opening pieces downwards along the fold lines. The second opening piece 132 with an arc-shaped structure is folded towards the center first, and the first opening piece 131 and the third opening piece 133 with deformable rectangular structures are folded over and cover the second opening piece 132. The edges overlap to seal the upper opening.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, a circular, separable opening 120 is provided on one side of the main body 110 of the packaging box, the edge of which is connected to the side by an easy-tear line; after removing the opening 120 along the easy-tear line, a circular inlet is formed (as shown). Figure 4 (As shown), for cats to enter and exit.

[0047] Fold the four open pieces upwards along the fold lines, and fold the two arc-shaped second open pieces 132 towards the center with their arc-shaped convex surfaces facing upwards; then fold the deformable rectangular first open piece 131 and third open piece 133 upwards. Due to the deformability of the material, the first open piece 131 bends and deforms along the arc direction of the left second open piece 132, and the third open piece 133 bends and deforms along the arc direction of the right second open piece 132. The edges of the first open piece 131 and the third open piece 133 respectively fit against the edges of the two second open pieces 132, ultimately forming an arc-shaped top structure 130 (as shown in the image). Figure 4 As shown in the image, this curved structure better suits cats' preference for "curved spaces" and is also more aesthetically pleasing.

[0048] Those skilled in the art will recognize that the units and algorithm steps of the various examples described in conjunction with the embodiments disclosed herein can be implemented in electronic hardware, or a combination of computer software and electronic hardware. Whether these functions are implemented in hardware or software depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution.
