[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] refer to Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a toy packaging box with a support frame, comprising: a drawer box body and a box top 1, wherein the drawer box body includes an outer box 2 and a pull-out inner box 3, the inner box 3 being used to accommodate toys; the box top 1 is fixed to the top of the outer box 2, and an insert groove 4 is formed on the upper surface of the box top 1, wherein a support strip 5 is movably connected within the insert groove 4, and the support strip 5 is switchable between an unfolded state and a retracted state relative to the insert groove 4; an LED strip 6 is provided on the upper surface of the box top 1, the LED strip 6 surrounding the outside of the support strip 5; a sensor 7 is embedded in the upper surface of the box top 1, in the area between the LED strip 6 and the support strip 5, the sensor 7 being electrically connected to the LED strip 6; a micro switch 8 is installed on the support strip 5, the micro switch 8 being connected in series with the sensor 7 and the LED strip 6 in the same circuit.
[0019] In some embodiments, there are two support bars 5, symmetrically arranged within the mounting groove 4. Each support bar 5 is connected to the mounting groove 4 via a hinge shaft 9, which is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting groove 4. One end of each support bar 5 is a fixed end that rotatably engages with the hinge shaft 9, while the other end is a free end. By using two symmetrically arranged support bars 5 connected by the hinge shaft 9, a stable and reliable support structure is formed. This design ensures that the toy is subjected to balanced force and is placed stably during display. Simultaneously, the symmetrical folding structure saves space, allowing the support bars 5 to be perfectly stored within the mounting groove 4, maintaining the flatness and aesthetics of the packaging box when not in use.
[0020] In some embodiments, the fixed end has a through hole for the hinge shaft 9 to pass through, and a rubber damping ring is fitted between the through hole and the hinge shaft 9. The inclusion of a rubber damping ring at the hinge is a key improvement to enhance the user experience. It provides appropriate frictional resistance, allowing the support bar 5 to stably remain at any angle when unfolded, facilitating precise adjustments to the toy's optimal display posture by the user. This prevents accidental closure or angle changes due to excessive looseness of the support bar 5, enhancing the product's texture and reliability.
[0021] In some embodiments, the light strip 6 is a flexible LED light strip; an annular mounting groove is formed on the upper surface of the box top 1 around the mounting slot 4, and the flexible LED light strip is embedded and fixed in the mounting groove. Using a flexible LED light strip embedded in a dedicated annular mounting groove has several advantages. First, LED light strips have low power consumption and soft light emission, making them ideal as a display light source for models. Second, embedding and bonding the light strip 6 into the mounting groove ensures it is flush with the surface of the box top 1, avoiding protrusions and protecting it from scratches during transportation and cleaning. It also ensures uniform light output, improving the overall aesthetics and lighting effect.
[0022] In some embodiments, the sensor 7 is a proximity sensor, with its sensing surface flush with the upper surface of the box top 1. Designing the sensing surface of the proximity sensor to be flush with the upper surface of the box top 1 is a detail-oriented and practical design. It completely avoids the problems of the sensor 7 protruding and affecting the stability of the toy, or being recessed and easily accumulating dust. The flush design ensures that the toy base can fully contact the box top 1, while also ensuring that the sensor 7 can be accurately and reliably triggered, improving the system's sensitivity and overall aesthetics.
[0023] In some embodiments, the microswitch 8 is a normally closed microswitch, and there are two microswitches 8, each corresponding to one of the free ends of the two support bars 5. When the support bars 5 are in the retracted state, the free end presses the trigger piece of the microswitch 8 to open it; when the support bars 5 are unfolded, the free end disengages from the trigger piece, and the microswitch 8 returns to the closed state. Setting the microswitch 8 as normally closed and controlling it by the retraction and unfolding of the support bars 5 constitutes the core of the intelligent control logic of this design. This design realizes the "physical switch" function of the circuit: when used as a packaging box, the circuit is forcibly disconnected, ensuring absolute safety and zero power consumption; when display is required, the circuit can only enter standby mode when the support bars 5 are unfolded, effectively preventing accidental triggering and achieving intelligent power management, which is both safe and energy-saving.
[0024] In some embodiments, a battery compartment is provided inside the top of the box 1, and a battery is installed inside the battery compartment. The battery provides power to the circuit consisting of the micro switch 8, the sensor 7, and the light strip 6 via wires. The battery compartment inside the top of the box 1 powers the entire system, achieving complete and independent display functionality. Users do not need to find an external power source or drag around power cords, truly realizing the convenient experience of "display upon opening the box." This integrated power supply solution maintains the overall aesthetics of the display rack, is not constrained by external cables, and makes the conversion from packaging box to display rack more thorough and convenient.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is based on the intelligent linkage of mechanical structure and circuit system, realizing the functional transformation from packaging box to display rack and automatic lighting. Its working process is clearly divided into the following three states:
[0026] 1. Packaging and storage status (circuit completely disconnected):
[0027] In this state, the support bar 5 is folded and completely housed within the mounting slot 4 of the top of the box 1. At this time, the free end of the support bar 5 continuously presses down on the trigger piece of the micro switch 8. Since the micro switch 8 is normally closed, this mechanical pressure forces the switch to the open state. At this time, even if a battery is installed, the entire circuit from the battery to the sensor 7 and the light strip 6 is physically disconnected, the system consumes zero power, is absolutely safe, and the light strip 6 is turned off. The packaging box is used as a whole for storing and transporting the toy.
[0028] 2. Display standby state (circuit connected, LED strip 6 ready to be triggered):
[0029] When the user removes the toy from the inner box 3 and unfolds the support bar 5 from the mounting slot 4, the free end of the support bar 5 lifts up, no longer applying pressure to the trigger plate of the micro switch 8. The micro switch 8 automatically resets to the closed state under its own elasticity. At this point, the "master switch" of the entire circuit is turned on, the circuit path is formed, and the system enters standby mode. At this time, the sensor 7 is powered on and begins detecting signals, but whether the light strip 6 lights up depends on whether the trigger condition of the sensor 7 is met.
[0030] 3. Automatic lighting display status (circuit on, 6 LED strips lit):
[0031] With the support bar 5 extended and the circuit in standby mode, the user places the toy securely on the extended support bar 5. When the bottom of the toy approaches or touches the sensing surface of the sensor 7, which is flush with the top surface of the box 1, the sensor 7 detects the target object, is activated, and turns on its internal switching circuit. At this time, the battery, the closed microswitch 8, the triggered sensor 7, and the light strip 6 form a complete current loop. The light strip 6 immediately lights up, illuminating the toy from bottom to top, creating a striking visual display effect.
[0032] This invention innovatively transforms a traditional packaging box into a fully functional display rack through an expandable support bar 5 and built-in circuitry. Users do not need to purchase or assemble a display stand separately, achieving a seamless connection from "packaging" to "display," greatly enhancing the added value of the product and the user experience. Through the coordinated control of micro-switches 8 and proximity sensors, an automated lighting effect of "standby upon unfolding and lighting upon placement" is achieved. When the support bar 5 unfolds and the toy is placed in position, the light strip 6 automatically illuminates, providing focused lighting for the model toy and creating a beautiful display atmosphere. The entire process requires no manual operation, combining a sense of ceremony with practicality. The support bar 5 adopts a hinged structure and can be equipped with a damping ring, making the unfolding angle adjustable and stable suspension. All electronic components are cleverly embedded in the top of the box 1, resulting in a compact and beautiful overall structure that does not occupy extra space, while ensuring the integrity in the packaged state and the stability in the display state. This design extends the life cycle of the packaging box, allowing it to continue to be used as a high-quality display item after fulfilling its transportation protection function, effectively avoiding secondary waste of packaging, conforming to the concept of green environmental protection, and meeting consumers' comprehensive needs for product aesthetics, functionality, and practicality.
