BACKGROUND
Technical Field
[0002] The disclosure discloses a packaging box and, more
particular, to a packaging box of an electronic product.
Related Art
[0003] As the technology progresses, various electronic products
emerge. A highly-precise and pretty fragile electronic product,
being extremely prone to be damaged due to impact of external
environment such as water, dust, and collision force during
delivery, has a much higher requirement on a packaging
structure.
[0004] To reduce a damage rate of a commodity during delivery,
functions of waterproofing, dust-proofing, and anti-seismic are
basic functions that a protective packaging structure needs to
have. Currently, a relatively common method is to accommodate an
electronic product into a packaging box to protect the electronic
product.
[0005] However, as environmental protection awareness is
increasingly higher, effective reduction of the amount of materials
used for the packaging box can help meet a requirement of energy
conservation and environment protection.
SUMMARY
[0006] In view of this, an objective of the disclosure is to
provide a packaging box to improve the prior art.
[0007] The disclosure discloses a packaging box including a bottom
plate, two cover plates, two external plates, two internal plates,

[0022] FIG. 1 is a schematic expanded view of a packaging box
according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2 is
a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a part of a packaging box
according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in
the figures, the packaging box 100 has a bottom plate 170, two
cover plates, such as a front cover plate 180 and a rear cover
plate 160, two external plates 140, two internal plates 150, and a
group of flaps 130.
[0023] The two cover plates are respectively connected to two
opposite sides of the bottom plate 170 along a first direction 210,
and the two external plates 140 are respectively connected to
another two opposite sides of the bottom plate 170 along a second
direction 220. That is, the two cover plates and the two external
plates 140 are respectively connected to the four sides of the
rectangle bottom plate 170. The first direction 210, i.e. a
direction of a Y axis, is perpendicular to the second direction
220, i.e. a direction of an X axis.
[0024] The two internal plates 150 are respectively connected to
outer sides of the corresponding external plates 140 along the
second direction 220. That is, the external plate 140 is connected
between the internal plate 150 and the bottom plate 170. The group
of flaps 130 are respectively connect to two opposite sides of the
two cover plates. In addition, a length of the internal plate 150
along the second direction 220 is less than a length of the
external plate 140 along the second direction 220. That is, a
height 156 of the internal plate 150 is less than a height 144 of
the external plate 140.
[0025] Compared with a conventional packaging box, the packaging
box 100 effectively reduces the height of the internal plate 150,
thereby effectively reducing an amount of paper needed. The
packaging box 100 in FIG. 1 is taken for example. When the height
156 of the internal plate 150, in other words, the length of the
internal plate 150 along the second direction 220, is designed to
be one third of the height 144 of the external plate 140, in other
words, one third of the length of the external plate 140 along the
second direction 220, paper in a hatched area 200 in FIG. 1 may be
completely saved, thereby effectively reducing the amount of paper
used for the packaging box, and further reducing production costs
of the packaging box.
[0026] In addition, the group of flaps 130 includes four flaps. For
example, two first flaps 132 are respectively connected to the two
opposite sides of the rear cover plate 160 along the second
direction 220, and two second flaps 134 are respectively connected
to the two opposite sides of the front cover plate 180 along the
second direction 220. Each first flap 132 includes a first engaging
opening 133, and each second flap 134 includes a second engaging
opening 135.
[0027] When the front cover plate 180, the rear cover plate 160,
and the two external plates 140 are respectively folded toward the
bottom plate 170 to form the packaging box, the two first flaps 132
and the two second flaps 134 are respectively folded to closely
contact the corresponding external plates 140, and the two internal
plates 150 are respectively folded to be inserted into the first
engaging openings 133 of the first flaps 132 and the second
engaging openings 135 of the second flaps 134 that are on the
corresponding sides.
[0028] In an embodiment, each internal plate 150 includes an
extending portion 151 connected to a corresponding external plate
140 and an inserting portion 153 connected to the extending portion
151. A width 154 of the inserting portion 153 along the first
direction 210 is less than a width 142 of the external plate 140
along the first direction 210.
[0029] Please refer to FIG. 2. When the first flap 132 and the
second flap 134 are folded to closely contact the corresponding
external plates 140, the first engaging opening 133 of the first
flap 132 and the second engaging opening 135 of the second flap 134
form an engaging opening width 131, and the inserting portion 153
is inserted into the first engaging opening 133 and the second
engaging opening 135 thus to be fixed therein, to effectively
engage the internal plate 150, the first flap 132, the second flap
134, and the external plate 140 together, thereby further improving
the strength of the structure of the packaging box 100 and
effectively protecting a product placed in the packaging box
100.
[0030] In an embodiment, the width 154 of the inserting portion 153
along the first direction 210 is less than the engaging opening
width 131 formed by the first engaging opening 133 and the second
engaging opening 135.
[0031] Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. The inserting portion 153
further includes two flanges 157, formed on two sides of the
inserting portion 153 to be fixed into the first engaging opening
133 and the second engaging opening 135, and a width 152 of the two
flanges 157 along the first direction 210 is greater than the
engaging opening width 131.
[0032] In an embodiment, the packaging box 100 further includes a
box cover portion 120 connected to the rear cover plate 160 and an
inserting tongue portion 110 connected to the box cover portion
120, to form an sealed packaging box 100. However, the present
disclosure is not limited thereto. In addition, the external plate
140 further includes a compensation portion 146 for compensating
for the thickness of materials of the packaging box 100 when the
packaging box 100 is folded.
[0033] In conclusion, the packaging box in the preferred embodiment
of the present disclosure effectively reduces a height of the
internal plate, and therefore may effectively reduce the amount of
paper needed by the packaging box. In addition, by inserting the
inserting portion of the internal plate into the engaging opening
of the flap, the strength of the structure of the packaging box may
be more effectively improved.
[0034] Although the present disclosure has been disclosed above
through the embodiments, the above embodiments are not intended to
limit the present disclosure. A person of ordinary skill in the art
may make various modifications and improvements without departing
from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the
protection scope of the present disclosure is subject to the
appended claims.
