The following refers to drawing and embodiments for description.
Referring to
The third box-body splicing element 120 is disposed at each corner of the bottom plate 130. In the instant embodiment, the bottom plate 130 is rectangular, and the third box-body splicing element 120 is disposed at the four corners of the rectangular bottom plate 130. The stop wall 110 comprises a first box-body splicing element 111 and two second box-body splicing elements 112. One end of each of the two second box-body splicing elements 112 is connected to one of the two ends of the first box-body splicing element 111 to form the stop wall 110. The other end of each of the two second box-body splicing elements 112 is connected respectively to a corresponding third box-body splicing element 120 so that the stop wall 110 is fixed through the second box-body splicing element 112 between the two third box-body splicing elements 120 corresponding to a side of the rectangular bottom plate 130 to form the semi-closed packaging box 100 with an open top.
Specifically, the following takes the stop wall 110 of long side of the packaging box 100 as an example to describe the stop wall 110 of the packaging box 100 in details. In the instant embodiment, one end of the second box-body splicing element 112 has an overall shape of a fork structure with a long open trench at the end surface. The two opposite inner walls of the long trench are disposed with, from left to right, a first connection part 1124, a second connection part 1125 and a third connection part 1126, at different locations distributed along length direction and yet having the same shape. The first connection part 1124, the second connection part 1125 and the third connection part 1126 are disposed as first concave trenches on the two opposite inner walls of the long trench. The first connection part 1124 and the third connection part 1126, or the second connection part 1125 and the third connection part 1126 together form a mechanism for connecting the second box-body splicing element 112. In the instant embodiment, the first connection part 1124 and the third connection part 1126 together form the third connection unit 1121 of the first box-body splicing element 111 of long side of the packaging box 100. The third connection part 1126 alone forms the second connection unit 1123.
Correspondingly, the two ends of the first box-body splicing element 111 are disposed with respectively a first connection unit 1111. The first connection unit 1111 has a shape matching the long trench at one end of the second box-body splicing element 112. Specifically, the two ends of the first box-body splicing element 111 are disposed respectively with fourth connection part 1113 and fifth connection part 1112 along length direction of first box-body splicing element 111. The fourth connection part 1113 and fifth connection part 1112 have the same shape. The fifth connection part 1112 is disposed on the outermost side of the first box-body splicing element 111. The fourth connection part 1113 and the fifth connection part 1112 are disposed as a first protruding mechanism 1110 complementary to any first concave trench 1120 of the second box-body splicing element 112. In the instant embodiment, the distance between the fourth connection part 1113 and the fifth connection part 1112 at one end of the first box-body splicing element 111 of long side of packaging box 100 is the distance between the first connection part 1124 and the third connection part 1126 of the third connection unit 1121 of long side of the packaging box 100. The fourth connection part 1113 and the fifth connection part 1112 together form the first connection unit 1111 of the first box-body splicing element 111 of long side of packaging box 100. The first protruding mechanism 1110 of the first box-body splicing element 111 matches tightly the first concave trench 1120 of the second box-body splicing element 112 to realize the firm connection between the first box-body splicing element 111 and the second box-body splicing element 112.
The first connection unit 1111 of the first box-body splicing element 111 is selectively connected to the third connection unit 1121 or the second connection unit 1123 of the second box-body splicing element 112 to realize varying the length of first box-body splicing element 111. For example, the distance between the fourth connection part 1113 and the fifth connection part 1112 of the first connection unit 1111 is the distance between the first connection part 1124 and the third connection part 1126 of the second box-body splicing element 112. The fourth connection part 1113 and the fifth connection part 1112 of the first connection unit 1111 of the first box-body splicing element 111 match respectively with the first connection part 1124 and the third connection part 1126 of the third connection unit 1121 to realize the short length of the first box-body splicing element 111. In another case, only the first fifth connection part 1112 of the first connection unit 1111 of the box-body splicing element 111 matches the third connection part 1126 of the second connection unit 1123 of the second box-body splicing element 112 to realize the long length of the first box-body splicing element 111.
It should be noted that in the instant embodiment, the second box-body splicing element 112 uses the first concave trench 1120 to form the third connection unit 1121 and the second connection unit 1123; and the first box-body splicing element 111 uses the first protruding mechanism 1110 to form the first connection unit 1111. However, it should not be considered that the second box-body splicing element 112 is restricted to use only the first concave trench 1120 to form the third connection unit 1121 and the second connection unit 1123, and the first box-body splicing element 111 is restricted to use only the first protruding mechanism 1110 to form the first connection unit 1111. In other embodiment, the third connection unit 1121 and the second connection unit 1123 of the second box-body splicing element 112 can also be protruding mechanism, and the first connection unit 1111 of the first box-body splicing element 111 can also be concave trench. Alternatively, the first box-body splicing element 111 and the second box-body splicing element 112 can also use other complementary mechanism to realize the connection. In addition, the third connection unit 1121 and the second connection unit 1123 are not necessarily required to use two opposite inner walls with first concave trench 120 to realize. Other mechanisms, such as, only one inner wall having the a concave trench, can also be used. Correspondingly, the first connection unit 1111 can also adopt ether a mechanism other than matching protruding mechanism. More generally, one end of the second box-body splicing element 112 can be disposed with, instead of a long trench, a plurality of concave trenches on the side of the second box-body splicing element 112 to form the third connection unit 1121 and the second connection unit 1123, and the first connection unit 1111 of the second box-body splicing element 112 also vary varies accordingly. It is obvious that the first box-body splicing element 111 and the second box-body splicing element 112 are not necessarily required to adopt complementary mechanism to realize connection. In other embodiments, the first box-body splicing element 111 and the second box-body splicing element 112 can also use buckle mechanism for connection.
In other embodiments, the description of the stop wall 110 of short side of the packaging box 100 is consistent with the above description of the stop wall 110 of long side; wherein the length of the first box-body splicing element 111 of long side and the length of short side are determined based on actual application, and the distance between the fourth connection part 1113 and the fifth connection part 1112 of the first box-body splicing element 111 of long side is also determined with a certain ratio to the short side. It is obvious that the length of the first box-body splicing element 111 of short and long sides of the packaging box 100 and the distance between the fourth connection part 1113 and the fifth connection part 1112 should be determined based on the actual application. For example, when the packaging box 100 is disposed as a square, correspondingly, the length of the first box-body splicing elements 111 of the four sides of the packaging box 100 can be the same as the distance between the fourth connection part 1113 and the fifth connection part 1112.
More specifically, the other end of the second box-body splicing element 112 is disposed as a second protruding mechanism 1128 to form the fourth connection unit 1127. In the instant embodiment, the third box-body splicing element 120 comprises two side plates disposed to form a right angle (not marked), with a fifth connection unit 121 disposed near the side plate in parallel; wherein the fifth connection unit 121 is disposed as a second concave trench 122 complementary to the second protruding mechanism 1128 of the fourth connection unit 1127. The second protruding mechanism 1128 of the fourth connection unit 1127 complements the second concave trench 122 of the fifth connection unit 121 to realize the firm connection between the second box-body splicing element 112 and the third box-body splicing element 120.
It should be noted that in the instant embodiment, the fifth connection unit 121 of the third box-body splicing element 120 is disposed as second concave trench 122, and the fourth connection unit 1127 of the second box-body splicing element 112 is disposed as second protruding mechanism 1128 complementary to second concave trench 122. However, the fifth connection unit 121 of the third box-body splicing element 120 is not restricted to be disposed as second concave trench 122, and the fourth connection unit 1127 of the second box-body splicing element 112 is not restricted to be disposed as second protruding mechanism 1128 complementary to second concave trench 122. Alternatively, the fifth connection unit 121 and fourth connection unit 1127 can be disposed as any complementary mechanism to realize matching and connection. It is obvious that the fifth connection unit 121 and the fourth connection unit 1127 are not necessarily required to be disposed as complementary mechanism. In other embodiments, the fifth connection unit 121 and the fourth connection unit 1127 can also be disposed as buckle mechanism to realize the firm connection between the second box-body splicing element 112 and the third box-body splicing element 120. In addition, the fifth connection unit 121 of the third box-body splicing element 120 can also be disposed as a mechanism connecting the first box-body splicing element 111 of the stop wall 110 to realize direct connection to one end of the first box-body splicing element 111. At this point, the fifth connection unit 121 is disposed as a mechanism for the second box-body splicing element 112 to connect with one end of the first box-body splicing element 111. The specific description refers to the description of the second box-body splicing element 112, and is not repeated here. In addition, the two side plates of the third box-body splicing element 120 are not necessarily disposed at a right angle, and can be disposed based on the shape of the packaging box 100.
In the instant embodiment, the packaging box 100 is made of plastic material. However, the packaging box 100 is not restricted to be of plastic material. The packaging box 100 can also be made of other material suitable for packaging.
