Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional packaging boxes for fast-moving consumer goods are limited in product display, require high costs for anti-drop and anti-vibration performance, and contribute to environmental pollution due to non-renewable resource waste and difficulty in recycling.
Innovation Solution
A packaging box structure comprising a first and second packaging box body connected via an integral and switchable connecting portion, allowing for adjustable positioning and elimination of the need for additional inner snapping structures, utilizing a paperboard structure that can be easily opened and closed for versatile product display and reduced material usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional packaging boxes are provided with independent inner snapping structures to ensure anti-drop and anti-vibration performance, then protection performance is improved, but device complexity and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the protective function with the container structure by forming the inner snapping structure as an integral part of the packaging box body through folding and bonding operations. This eliminates the need for separate independent inner snapping structures, reducing device complexity while maintaining anti-drop and anti-vibration performance through the integrated design where the box body itself provides the snapping mechanism for product protection
Solution Approach 2:
The packaging box body is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as both the container structure and the protective snapping mechanism. The box body incorporates folding lines and bonding areas that enable it to function as an inner snapping structure for protecting items during transport, while also serving as the outer container for storage and display, thereby eliminating the need for separate protective components
2Reliability
If traditional packaging boxes use rigid structures to ensure protection performance, then reliability is improved, but adaptability for product display is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic flexibility through foldable connecting portions that allow the packaging box to transition between different structural states. The box can be folded into a compact state for protection during transport, then unfolded and reconfigured into an expanded state with adjustable compartments for versatile product display, thereby achieving both protection reliability and display adaptability through controlled deformation
Solution Approach 2:
The packaging box is divided into multiple separable body portions connected by foldable connecting portions. This segmentation allows the box to be assembled and disassembled, reconfigured for different display arrangements, or collapsed for compact storage. The segmented structure maintains protection performance when assembled while enabling flexible adaptability for various product display configurations through simple folding and reassembly operations
3Ease of manufacture
If traditional packaging boxes are designed as single-use structures, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but environmental friendliness deteriorates due to non-renewable resource waste and difficulty in recycling
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables recovery and reuse of the packaging box through its foldable and reconfigurable design. The box can be collapsed into a compact state for efficient storage and transport, then unfolded and reconfigured for subsequent use or recycling. The integral connecting portions and folding lines are designed to facilitate disassembly and reassembly, allowing the box to be recovered and reused multiple times before final disposal, thereby reducing environmental harm compared to single-use packaging
Solution Approach 2:
The packaging box utilizes changes in geometric parameters through folding and unfolding operations. The same material structure can transform from an expanded protective state to a collapsed compact state, and between different display configurations. This parameter change capability allows the box to adapt to different usage scenarios and facilitates recycling by consolidating material into a compact form for efficient processing and reuse, reducing the need for continuous production of new packaging

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a packaging box and a paperboard structure. The packaging box comprises a first packaging box body, an integral connecting portion, a second packaging box body and a switchable connecting portion which are connected end to end in sequence. The first packaging box body comprises a first accommodating portion formed by a first surface in a thickness direction of the first packaging box recessed inwardly. The second packaging box body comprises a second accommodating portion formed by a second surface in a thickness direction of the second packaging box recessed inwardly. A bendable connection is formed between the first packaging box body and the second packaging box body via the integral connecting portion and the switchable connecting portion, so that the first surface and the second surface are positioned to be opposite to each other.
