  In the packaging box disclosed in Patent Document 1, the reinforcing portion is formed by bending the reinforcing portion forming side that is continuously and integrally formed from the side surface of the main body. Further, an engaging protrusion is provided at the tip of the reinforcing portion forming side, and the engaging protrusion is engaged with a slit provided on the main body side, thereby fixing the reinforcing portion to the box body. For this reason, the reinforcement part formation side must be provided in the box main body beforehand, and the generally used packing box cannot be utilized. As a result, the cost is increased by the complexity of processing. Further, there is a problem that the alignment of the engagement protrusion and the slit is necessary, and the manufacturing work is complicated.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a packing box that can easily improve the load resistance in the vertical direction using a general-purpose packing box. It is something to be offered.

And a reinforcing member that is detachably attached to the inside of the box-shaped main body, and the reinforcing member is made of corrugated paper, and a penetrating direction of a core provided so as to penetrate the corrugated paper is a side portion. It coincides with the height direction.

  When configured in this way, since there is an opening on the front side of the packaging box, when a power supply device such as an uninterruptible power supply is stored inside the packaging box, the lid is opened from the side and the power supply device etc. It is possible to perform auxiliary charging of the battery. Further, since the reinforcing core has the center direction of the corrugated paper coinciding with the height direction of the side surface portion, it is possible to improve the vertical strength of the packaging box by arranging the reinforcing member on the left and right side surface portions. . Therefore, even when the power supply device or the like is stored in the packaging box and stacked, the lower packaging box is not crushed by the weight of the power supply device or the like stacked on top. For this reason, it becomes possible to store the power supply device in the packing box and stack it, and remove the power supply device stacked in the upper stage from the auxiliary charge of the battery of the power supply apparatus arranged in the lower stage. It becomes possible to do without. Therefore, it is possible to improve work efficiency for supplementary charging of the battery. Furthermore, since it is possible to improve the strength in the vertical direction simply by attaching the reinforcing member to the inside of the box-shaped main body, it is possible to easily increase the strength in the vertical direction while using what is generally used as a box-shaped main body. It becomes possible to improve.

  In another invention, in addition to the above-described invention, the reinforcing member is formed by folding corrugated paper so as to correspond to the side surface portion. When configured in this way, the reinforcing member can be formed easily and without cost.

  Further, in another invention, in addition to the above-described invention, the reinforcing member has a cylindrical shape corresponding to the side surface portion. When configured in this manner, the reinforcing member can be easily formed, and the load resistance in the vertical direction of the packaging box can be improved.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily improve the load resistance in the vertical direction by using a general-purpose packaging box.

Moreover, the reinforcing member 30 has the center core 37 mentioned later along the circumferential direction (arrow C direction in FIG. 2). The reinforcing member 30 is mounted so as to be inserted into the inside of the box-shaped main body 15 from the opening 12 of the box-shaped main body 15. The reinforcing member 30 is formed such that its outer shape is substantially the same as the shape of the opening space 14 of the box-shaped main body 15. Specifically, the upper reinforcing part 31, the lower reinforcing part 32, the left reinforcing part 33, and the right reinforcing part 34 that constitute the side parts of the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the reinforcing member 30 are the upper part 21 and the lower part of the box-shaped main body 15. It is provided so as to correspond to the part 22, the left side part 23, and the right side part 24. For this reason, when the reinforcing member 30 is mounted on the box-shaped main body 15, the reinforcing member 30 is arranged in a state of being overlapped (contacted) inside the side surface portion 16 (see FIG. 1). Specifically, the outer side surfaces of the upper reinforcing portion 31, the lower reinforcing portion 32, the left reinforcing portion 33, and the right reinforcing portion 34 of the reinforcing member 30 are the upper side portion 21, the lower side portion 22, and the left side portion 23 of the box-shaped main body 15. In this state, they are in contact with the inner surface of the right side 24.

  The reinforcing member 30 folds the corrugated cardboard 30A having a rectangular shape at an angle of about 90 degrees along each wavy line H shown in FIG. 4A, and the upper end 35a in the longitudinal direction of the corrugated cardboard 30A. And the lower end 35b are abutted, and the meeting part 36 (see FIG. 4B) where the upper end 35a and the lower end 35b are abutted is fixed by, for example, an adhesive tape or the like. In other words, the corrugated cardboard 30A is valley-folded along the three wavy lines H at an angle of approximately 90 degrees to form a cylindrical shape with a square cross section. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, in the corrugated cardboard 30A, the regions divided by the wavy lines H are, in order from the top, the right reinforcing portion 34, the upper reinforcing portion 31, the left reinforcing portion 33, and the lower The reinforcement part 32 is comprised. Due to such a configuration, when the reinforcing member 30 is formed by folding the corrugated paper 30A, the meeting part 36 is formed at the lower right in FIG. 4B. In the present embodiment, the corrugated cardboard 30A is divided into the right reinforcing part 34, the upper reinforcing part 31, the left reinforcing part 33, and the lower reinforcing part 32 in order from the top by the wavy line H. For example, the corrugated cardboard 30A may be separated from the upper reinforcing portion 31, the left reinforcing portion 33, the lower reinforcing portion 32, and the right reinforcing portion 34 in order from the top by the wavy line H. good. Further, the length in the short direction of the cardboard paper 30 </ b> A is substantially the same as the length from the opening 12 to the bottom 17 of the box-shaped main body 15.

  As shown in FIG. 4C, the corrugated paper 30A has a substantially corrugated core 37 that has the same height along the longitudinal direction (the direction indicated by the arrow C in FIG. 4A). Have. The inner core 37 is provided along the direction indicated by the arrow C in FIG. 4A so as to penetrate the corrugated paper 30A. Further, the highest position and the lowest position of the inner core 37 are in line contact with the thick paper disposed above and below (the contact portion is indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 4A). For this reason, the reinforcing member 30 is arrange | positioned so that the height of the center core 37 may become the same along the circumferential direction (arrow C direction in FIG. 2). Therefore, the reinforcing member 30 has load resistance with respect to the circumferential direction. In a state in which the reinforcing member 30 is mounted inside the box-shaped main body 15, the left reinforcing portion 33 and the right reinforcing portion 34 are respectively disposed inside the left side portion 23 and the right side portion 24. For this reason, the left side portion 23 and the right side portion 24 are reinforced by the left reinforcing portion 33 and the right reinforcing portion 34 having the center core 37 in the vertical direction (vertical direction), respectively. Therefore, by attaching the reinforcing member 30 to the box-shaped main body 15, the load resistance with respect to the vertical direction of the packaging box 10 is improved.

  Next, a method for assembling the packaging box 10 will be described.

  First, a box-shaped main body 15 and cardboard paper 30A are prepared. Then, the corrugated paper 30A is valley-folded at an angle of approximately 90 degrees along each wavy line H shown in FIG. 4A, the upper end 35a and the lower end 35b are butted, and the upper end 35a and the lower end 35b are The abutting meeting portion 36 is fixed with an adhesive tape or the like to form a cylindrical reinforcing member 30. In addition, you may make it not fix with such an adhesive tape. Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the reinforcing member 30 is inserted inward from the opening 12 of the box-shaped main body 15. The packing box 10 is assembled by attaching the reinforcing member 30 to the box-shaped main body 15 in the above procedure.

  Next, the case where the packaging box 10 is stacked and used is demonstrated. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the packing boxes 10 are stacked.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the packaging box 10 includes, for example, a plurality of upper and lower stages (in the present embodiment, in a state where an uninterruptible power supply device (not shown) is housed together with foamed polystyrene and corrugated cardboard for additional reinforcement / positioning. 4 levels). For example, the pallet 40 serving as a mounting table is placed in a predetermined place and the packaging box 10 is stacked in a plurality of stages. Since the reinforcing member 30 is mounted inside the packaging box 10, the load resistance in the vertical direction of the packaging box 10 is enhanced. For this reason, even if the packaging boxes 10 containing the uninterruptible power supply devices are stacked in a plurality of stages, they are not crushed by the dead weight of the uninterruptible power supply apparatuses stacked on the lower packaging box 10. In particular, since the reinforcing member 30 is included in the box-shaped main body 15, the vertical lid 18 and the horizontal lid 19 can be prevented from being crushed by another stacked packaging box. It becomes possible to keep the property favorable.

  Further, in a state where the uninterruptible power supply is packed, the lid portion 13 of the packing box 10 is closed. In this packed state, for example, the vertical lids 18 and 18 are closed, and the adhesive tape 41 is affixed to the meeting portion 18a where the tips are butted together (see FIG. 3).

Need not be taken out of the packaging box 10.

  Since the packaging box 10 configured as described above has the opening 12 on the front side, the lid 13 is opened from the lateral direction and the battery of the uninterruptible power supply device housed in the packaging box 10 is supplementarily charged. It becomes possible. Further, the reinforcing member 30 is configured such that the direction of the core 37 of the corrugated paper 30 </ b> A matches the height direction of the box-shaped main body 15. For this reason, when the reinforcing member 30 is attached to the box-shaped main body 15, the left reinforcing portion 33 and the right reinforcing portion 34 are arranged inside the left-side portion 23 and the right-side portion 24, and the vertical direction in the left and right side portions of the box-shaped main body 15. The load resistance against is enhanced. Therefore, even when the uninterruptible power supply is stored in the packing box 10 and stacked, the packing box 10 arranged in the lower stage is prevented from being crushed by the weight of the uninterruptible power supply stacked on top. it can. Further, since the uninterruptible power supply can be stored in the packing box 10 and stacked, the auxiliary battery of the uninterruptible power supply arranged in the lower stage can be replaced with the uninterruptible power supply stacked in the upper stage. Without removing, the lid 13 can be opened from the lateral direction. Therefore, it is possible to improve work efficiency for performing supplementary charging of the battery of the uninterruptible power supply. Further, since it is possible to improve the strength in the vertical direction in the packaging box 10 simply by mounting the reinforcing member 30 inside the box-shaped main body 15, while using a generally used one as the box-shaped main body 15, It is possible to easily improve the vertical strength.

  Moreover, in the packaging box 10, the reinforcing member 30 is formed by bending the corrugated paper 30A into a cylindrical shape. Therefore, the reinforcing member 30 can be formed easily and without cost. The reinforcing member 30 has an upper reinforcing portion 31 and a lower reinforcing portion 32, and the portion has a center core 37 along the left-right direction. For this reason, in addition to the enhancement of the load resistance in the vertical direction of the packaging box 10, it is possible to enhance the load resistance in the left-right direction.
