The present application claims the priority benefit of China application No. 202221721253.4, filed on Jul. 5, 2022. The entirety of China application No. 202221721253.4 is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this specification.
The present application relates to the technical field of foldable box, and in particular to a magnetically foldable box.
Packaging boxes are mostly in a three-dimensional form in the process of manufacturing, storage and transportation and use, however, they need to occupy space in the transportation, storage and other non-use state. Therefore, foldable boxes are designed so that they can be folded in non-use states to reduce space occupancy.
A traditional foldable box is composed of a whole piece of paper sheet. The fastening positions are located at the bottom of the box body when the box body is in a three-dimensional form. In order to enhance the strength of the paper sheet, it's generally necessary to set a backing layer inside the box body, so as to make up for the defect of insufficient strength of the paper sheet.
In summary, the fastening positions on the foldable box needs to be disassembled and assembled one by one when disassembling and assembling a foldable box in a non-use state, which is relatively complicated; and since the fastening positions are generally provided at the bottom of the foldable box, the bearing force of the bottom of the foldable box is insufficient, so it is difficult to support relatively heavy items. Therefore, there is still room for improvement to meet the requirements of stable connection and convenient disassembly and assembly of the foldable box.
In order to meet the requirement of the stable connection of a foldable box and improve the convenience of disassembling and assembling the foldable box, the present application provides a magnetically foldable box.
The magnetically foldable box provided in the present application adopts the following technical solution:
a magnetically foldable box, including a first foldable plate and a second foldable plate; wherein, the second foldable plate forms a frame body with two open ends; the first foldable plate includes a bottom plate, and one of edges of the frame body is connected with an edge of the bottom plate, so that the frame body is operable to turn toward the bottom plate; the frame body is provided with a detachable connector, and is detachably connected with the bottom plate via the detachable connector; and the first foldable plate is configured to enclose the frame body and close the two open ends of the frame body, and be magnetically fixed with the frame body at overlapping positions with the frame body.
By adopting the above technical solution, the foldable box is divided into two parts: a first foldable plate and a frame body, in which the first foldable plate may be folded in a plurality of sections, and the frame body may be folded and deformed, simplifying the connecting steps when the foldable box is changed to a three-dimensional form. The edge of the bottom plate is connected to the frame body via the detachable connector, and the surface-to-surface connection between the frame body and the first foldable plate is achieved by magnetic attraction. The combination of the two connection methods not only meets the stable requirement of the foldable box, but also solves the problem of complex folding and disassembling steps of the foldable box; and by reducing the adhesive bonding area, it is conducive to reducing the damage degree of the foldable box when disassembling and increase the reuse rate of the foldable box.
In some embodiments, the detachable connector is peelable adhesive.
By adopting the above technical solution, the frame body is bonded and fixed to the first foldable plate by the peelable adhesive, so that it is convenient to tear off, under the condition that the requirement of the stable connection between the foldable box is met. At the same time, the damage to the first foldable plate may be reduced, and the reuse rate of the foldable box is increased.
In some embodiments, a surface of the bottom plate is provided with a backing plate.
By adopting the above technical solution, the backing plate plays the role of increasing the bearing force of the bottom plate to meet the load-bearing requirements for heavy items.
In some embodiments, edges of the backing plate abuts against the inside wall of the frame body at the bottom when the magnetically foldable box is changed to a three-dimensional form.
By adopting the above technical solution, the backing plate can not only play the role of enhancing the strength of the bottom plate, but also play the role of positioning the frame body, which is conducive to improving the folding efficiency of the foldable box in a three-dimensional form.
In some embodiments, the detachable connector is a connecting piece; a side of the backing plate is formed with a slot; and the connecting piece is configured to be inserted into the slot for fixing.
By adopting the above technical solution, not only the connection purpose between the frame body and the bottom plate is realized, but also the connecting piece plays a rigid supporting role to the backing plate, which is conducive to further improving the connection stability between the first foldable plate and the frame body.
In some embodiments, an edge portion of the bottom plate extends beyond an outer side wall of the frame body when the magnetically foldable box is changed to a three-dimensional form.
By adopting the above technical solution, the frame body is located on the surface of the bottom plate when the foldable box is changed to a three-dimensional form, which is conducive to improving the stability of the foldable box in a three-dimensional form.
In some embodiments, an outer side wall of the frame body is attached to a surface of the edge portion of the bottom plate when the foldable box is changed to a flat folded form.
By adopting the above technical solution, the frame body is folded to one side of the first foldable plate to make the foldable box be in a flat folded form, and the edge portion plays a supporting role for the first foldable plate folded into a flat state, so as to prevent the frame body from turning down excessively, which is conducive to keeping the foldable box flat in a non-use state to facilitate the storage and transportation of the foldable box.
In some embodiments, the connecting piece is a plastically deformable piece.
Since edges of the backing plate abuts against the inside wall of the frame body at the bottom, it is inconvenient for users to complete the step of inserting a rigid connecting piece into the slot in the limited space between the bottom plate and the frame body, therefore, by adopting the connecting piece with plastically deformable function, users can gradually adjust the direction of the inserting section of the connecting piece during inserting, to facilitate the inserting and connecting.
In some embodiments, the connecting piece is configured to be bendable and insertion fixed into the slot by a bent portion when the magnetically foldable box is changed to a three-dimensional form.
By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting piece is horizontally inserted into the slot, which, together with the magnetic attraction fixation between the frame body and the first foldable plate, is conducive to further improving the connection stability between the frame body and the backing plate.
In some embodiments, the connecting piece is configured to have a horizontal projection at the bottom plate and form a limiting structure together with the edge portion of the bottom plate for preventing the frame body from being moved vertically when the magnetically foldable box is changed to a flat folded form.
By adopting the above technical solution, the upper and lower positions of the second foldable plate are limited when the second foldable plate is in a flat state, to achieve the stability of the foldable box in a flat folded form. The bending angel of the connecting piece is adjusted based on the different states of the foldable box, so that the connecting piece plays a connecting role when the foldable box is in a three-dimensional form and plays a limiting role when the frame body is in a folded form, which is convenient for the storage, transportation and use of the foldable box.

The implementing principle of the magnetically foldable box of embodiment 2 in the present application is as follows:
when the foldable box is changed to a three-dimensional form. Firstly the connecting pieces 4 are bended by 90° toward the inner side of the frame body, and the frame body in the flat state stands up; during the expanding of the frame body to a rectangle state, the steps of inserting the connecting pieces 4 on each side of the frame body into the slots are completed step by step; the insertion is performed based on the expanding direction of the frame body. The connecting pieces 4 on the side of the frame body adjacent to the cardboard piece 5 is inserted into the slot 61 firstly, and, since the insertion direction of the connecting pieces 4 on this side is the same as the expanding direction of the frame body, the connecting pieces 4 can be inserted into the slot directly. Since the insertion direction of the connecting pieces 4 on the other two sides of the frame body is different from the expanding direction of the frame body, when the other two sides of the frame body are completely in place, the side walls of the frame body are pulled in the direction away from the backing plate 6 based on the deformation capacity of the frame body and its own cardboard material properties, to make the space between the side wall of the frame body and the side of the backing plate 6 be widened for a short time so that the connecting pieces 4 can be in place, and then the transverse insertion of the connecting pieces 4 into the slots is completed.
In order to achieve the purpose of inserting the connecting pieces 4 into the slots, the area of the backing plate 6 is smaller than the area enclosed by the frame body, so that when the frame body is in place, there is a certain gap between the backing plate 6 and the inner side of the frame body, to facilitate the subsequent insertion operations.
When the foldable box is changed to a flat folded form. Firstly the connecting pieces 4 are separated from the slots 61 in the backing plate 6 one by one, then the frame body is turned to one side of the first foldable plate 1, and folded to a flat state; the connecting pieces 4 are straightened to make the connecting pieces be pressed on the surface of the backing plate 6, so that the connecting pieces 4 and the edge portion 121 of the bottom plate 12 together form a limiting structure for preventing the frame body from being moved vertically, further improving the overall stability of the foldable box in a flat folded form.
