Description

  The present invention relates to a packing box and a packing box mount.

  A flat box-like product or a thin plate-like product similar thereto has a narrow depth direction in both the height direction and the width direction. Such products include, for example, battery packages packaged by shrink packs. The battery package is packaged in a state in which a plurality of cylindrical batteries having cylindrical axes in the height direction are arranged in a line in the width direction. Further, when a predetermined number of flat products in the depth direction such as a battery package are stored in a packing box, the products are often stored in a state of being stacked in the depth direction. For example, the packing box is often an A-type corrugated box, a so-called "mandarin box type" rectangular box as described in Non-Patent Document 1 below. In the A-type cardboard box, the sizes in the height direction, width direction, and depth direction of the product to be stored are taken as depth, width, and length, respectively.

  In the production site of thin plate products such as battery packages, there are cases where product production, assembly, packaging, and even packaging are performed consistently. Then, the packed products are collected at a warehouse or the like of products waiting for shipment from a shipping source such as a factory (hereinafter, also referred to as a terminal), and are delivered to delivery destinations such as each sales store through predetermined transportation routes. .

  By the way, the number of products delivered to each delivery destination is not limited to a multiple of the number of all products included in the packaging box. That is, the product is not necessarily delivered in the state of being stored in the manufactured packaging box. Therefore, there is a case where the terminal performs picking work on the product stored in the packing box and then ships it. In picking work, based on the delivery instructions for each delivery destination, leave the required number of products from the packing box and take out the required number of products in one packing box, or the required number of products. Refill with other boxes for transportation. Patent Document 1 below describes a cardboard blank from which one cardboard box is obtained.

  When the thin plate-like product which is flat in the depth direction, such as a battery package, is packed at the end of the manufacturing process, it is accommodated without gaps in the state of being overlapped in the length direction in the packing box. Therefore, if the products are transported while being packaged at the end of the manufacturing process, there is little possibility that the products will collide with each other in the packaging box and be damaged during transport. However, as described above, the products stored in the packing box at the end of the manufacturing process are often subjected to picking operations along the transportation route from factory shipment to delivery.

  However, if the number of products in one packaging box is reduced by picking, a large gap will be generated in the packaging box, so cushioning material will be stored in the space inside the packaging box and the products will not collide during transportation. You need to Therefore, the cost concerning the shock absorbing material and the cost for storing the shock absorbing material are increased.

  Further, in the case of refilling into another delivery box, it is necessary to prepare various delivery boxes having different sizes according to the number of products to be stored, and the delivery box is costly. Furthermore, the packaging box is sealed at the end of the manufacturing process and can not be reused when unpacked for refilling the product. Therefore, the cost of the packaging box is wasted. It is against the social demand to promote resource saving.

  In the invention described in Patent Document 1, a plurality of cardboard boxes can be assembled by dividing one cardboard blank. However, in the case where a predetermined number of product packs are stored in a predetermined size of packaging box at the end of the product manufacturing process, the advantage of assembling the packaging box using the corrugated board blank described in Patent Document 1 is rare. In addition, even if the product pack is to be refilled in picking operation, it is necessary to divide the corrugated board blank and assemble the transport box from the divided corrugated board blank, which requires extra cost for these operations. become. Packing boxes are also wasted.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a packing box which can save resources and facilitate picking work and a packing box base which is the origin of the packing box.

One aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object is a rectangular packaging box in which side surfaces are formed by front, rear, left and right surfaces, and upper and lower surfaces are formed by openable and closable inner flaps and outer flaps. The outer flaps are connected to the upper and lower edges of at least one of the left and right surfaces,
The inner flap is connected to at least one of the upper and lower edges of at least one of the front and rear surfaces,
It has a fractured part which traverses the outer flap in the left-right direction while vertically crossing the left and right faces, and is formed so as to be separable into two pieces with the fractured part as a boundary,
At least one of the individual pieces when separated into two is provided with the inner flap, with the outer flap as the side, one of the front and rear sides as the bottom, and a box with the broken surface by the broken portion as the opening Is the body,
The inner flap of the box is formed with an outer flap area that covers the opening of the box when it is bent at the edge of the opening while projecting from the opening.
It is considered as a packing box characterized by.

  The outer flaps may be formed symmetrically, and the inner flaps may be vertically symmetrical. The outer flap area may be a packaging box in which a fold line is formed along the edge of the opening.

Another aspect of the present invention is a backing from which the packaging box described in any of the above is derived,
The front side, the left side, the rear side, and the right side of the packaging box are linearly arranged in a predetermined direction,
The outer flap is connected to the left surface and the right surface in at least one of the upward direction and the downward direction of the packaging box.

Also, in order to facilitate the description of the size of the packaging box 1a and the size of each part, the thickness of the corrugated board constituting the packaging box 1a is ignored.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (A), the external shape of the packaging box 1a in the packed state is a rectangular box similar to the A-type cardboard box, and has a size of width W, length L, depth D . The front surface 2F, the right surface 3R, the rear surface 2B, and the left surface 3L are connected to each other to form side surfaces, and the upper and lower openings are covered by inner and outer flaps (4L, 4R) not shown.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (B), in the packing box 1a, the outer flaps (4L, 4R) are connected to the upper and lower edges of the left and right surfaces (3L, 3R), and the front and rear surfaces (2F, 2B) The inner flaps (5F, 5B) are connected to the upper edge and the lower edge. The width W1 of the outer flaps (4L, 4R) is 1/2 of the width W of the packaging box, and the inner flaps (5F, 5B) are bent inward of the packaging box 1a and then the outer flaps (4L, 4R) Is folded inward, the left and right outer flaps (4L-4R) butt each other.

  The inner flaps (5F, 5B) are different from those of a general A-type cardboard box, and the length of the inner flap 5F connected to the front face 2F and the length of the inner flap 5B connected to the rear face 2B L2 is different. In the example shown in FIG. 2 (B), the front and rear length L2 of the rear inner flap 5B is longer than the front and rear length L1 of the front inner flap 5F. More specifically, the longitudinal length L2 of the inner flap 5B connected to the upper edge and the lower edge of the rear surface 2B is L2 = (L + D) / 2. In the packing box 1a according to the embodiment, L1 + L2 ≦ L.

  And in the packing box 1a which concerns on an Example, the fracture | rupture part 10 which traverses each outer flap (4L, 4R) on either side in the width direction is provided, traversing each surface (3L, 3R) on either side in the up-down direction. It is done. The rupture portion 10 is formed of perforations or zippers that can be ruptured manually, and when the packaging box 1a is ruptured along the rupture portion 10, the packaging box 1a is divided into two pieces on the front side and the rear side. It is separated. In the present embodiment, the broken portion 10 is formed by perforations.

  FIG. 3 shows a corrugated board blank (hereinafter also referred to as a mount 201) of the packing box 1a according to the embodiment. FIG. 3 is a view when the packaging box 1a is expanded in a state where any of the front surface 2F, the left surface 3L, the rear surface 2B, and the right surface 3R forming the side surface of the packaging box 1a is mounted on a horizontal surface. That is, in FIG. 3, the inner surface side of the packaging box 1a is shown. And a valley fold line is shown by a dashed dotted line. As shown in FIG. 3, in the packaging sheet 1a, the packaging box 1a has the front surface 2F, the left surface 3L, the rear surface 2B, and the right surface 3R linearly arranged. In addition, on each side (2F, 3L, 2B, 3R) arranged linearly, the inner flap (5F, 5B) and the outer flap (4L, 4R) is connected. In addition, an adhesive margin 6 is formed on the front edge 3F of the right side 3R of the packaging box 1a, and when assembling the packaging box 1a from the backing sheet 201, the outer surface side of the adhesive margin 6 is adhered to the inner surface of the right edge 2R of the front surface 2F. Ru. The fractured portion 10 is formed so as to bisect each of the left surface 3L and the right surface 3R and the outer flaps (4L, 4R) connected to these surfaces (3L, 3R) in the length direction. And if the packaging box 1a which concerns on an Example is fractured | ruptured in the fracture part 10, and is isolate | separated into two piece, one of the pieces will be a box for refilling at the time of picking operation (henceforth it is also called a transportation box) It can be reused as. In FIG. 3, an area to be a transport box in the mount 201 is indicated by a dotted frame 202. In the packing box 1a according to the embodiment, when the front surface 2F, the left surface 3L, the rear surface 2B, and the right surface 3R forming the side surface of the packing box 1a are linearly arranged in the mount 201, the mounting sheet 201 is Is symmetrical with respect to the arrangement direction of each surface forming the. Therefore, the process of cutting the backing sheet 201 from the base paper becomes easy. In addition, the vertical relationship does not have to be taken into consideration when assembling the packaging box 1a, and the packaging box 1a can be easily assembled.

  FIG. 4 shows the storage state of the battery package 100 in the packing box 1a. The packing box 1a shown in FIG. 4 can store ten sets of the eight battery packages 100 shown in FIG. The eight dry cells 101 in each battery package 100 are housed in the packing box 1 a so that the cylindrical shafts 102 are vertically aligned and arranged in a single row in the left-right direction. Then, ten battery packages 100 are stored in a state of being stacked in the front-rear direction. The inner dimension (≒ W) in the width direction and the inner dimension (a D) in the depth direction of the packaging box 1a are approximately equal to the width w and height h of one battery package 100, and the length of the packaging box 1a The internal dimension (≒ L) of the direction is approximately equal to 10 times the thickness t in the depth direction of the battery package 100 (L ≒ 10 × t). As a result, ten battery packages 100 are accommodated without gaps in the packaging box 1a. And the fracture part 10 of the packaging box 1a is formed in the position which bisects each surface (3L, 3R) on either side back and forth, and the packaging box 1a is fractured at the fracture part 10, and it becomes two pieces. When separated, one piece becomes a shipping box that can hold up to five battery packages 100.

  FIG. 5 shows the packaging box 1a in a state of being separated into two pieces. FIG. 5 (A) shows the packing box 1a in a state of being separated into two pieces (20F, 20B) by the broken part 10, and FIG. 5 (B) shows the transport box 20. As shown in FIG. 5A, the packaging box 1a according to the embodiment is separated into two pieces (20F, 20B) in the front-rear direction by the break portion 10. Then, the rear individual pieces 20B are reused as the transport box 20. As shown in FIG. 5 (B), the transport box 20 has the rear surface 2B as the bottom, and the left surface 3L, the right surface 3R, and the outer flaps (4L, 4R) which are bisected in the front and back as the side surface. The fracture surface according to the above is the opening 21. Further, the inner flap 5 B protrudes from the opening 21. The region of the inner flap 5B (hereinafter also referred to as the outer flap region 51) protruding from the opening 21 is formed to cover the opening 21 when it is bent at the edge portion of the opening 21 of the transport box 20 There is. That is, the length L4 of the outer flap area 51 in each of the upper and lower inner flaps 5B is set to be 1/2 of the depth D of the packing box 1a.

  An example of the utilization procedure of the transport box 20 is shown in FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 6A, the required number of battery packages 100 are transferred from the ten battery packages 100 stored in the packing box 1 a to the transport box 20. In the transport box 20, the longitudinal direction in the packaging box 1a is the depth direction, and the inner dimension in the depth direction is approximately the size when five battery packages 100 are stacked in the longitudinal direction (L / 2 5 5 x t). In the case where four or less battery packages 100 are stored in the transport box 20, the space in the depth direction of the transport box may be filled with a buffer material as necessary.

  The inner flap 5B is formed with a valley fold line 23 for bending the outer flap region 51 inward of the transport box 20 along the breakage portion 10, as indicated by the alternate long and short dash line. Then, when the required number of battery packages 100 are stored in the transport box 20, as shown in FIG. 6B, the outer flap area 51 is directed inward of the opening 21 with the valley fold line 23 as the base. And bend. As described above, in the packaging box 1a, the front-rear length L2 of the rear inner flap 5B on the side of the transport box 20 is L2 = (L + D) / 2, and the length of 1/2 of the front-rear length L of the packaging box 1a Is a length obtained by adding a half length of the depth D of the packaging box 1a. Therefore, when the upper and lower inner flaps 5B are bent at the folding line 23, the tips of the both inner flaps 5B abut each other. The opening 21 is thereby covered by the outer flap area 51. When shipping the battery package 100 in the transport box 20, the transport box 20 may be sealed using an adhesive tape or the like so that the outer flap area 51 is not opened. When the six or more battery packages 100 are to be shipped, the required number of battery packages 100 are removed without breaking the packaging box 1a, and the gaps in the back and forth direction in the packaging box 1a are filled with a buffer or the like. Above, the packaging box 1a may be used as it is as a delivery box.

  As described above, in the packing box 1a according to the embodiment, only a predetermined number of flat products can be stored in the depth direction of the battery package 100 or the like without a gap, and a part of the product is required for picking operation. It can be reused as a shipping container to which products are refilled. That is, when shipping the product stored in the packing box 1a after picking, it is not necessary to separately prepare a refill destination box. Since part of the packaging box 1a is reused, waste can be reduced. Further, even if the number of products stored in the transport box 20 is less than the number that can be stored in the transport box 20, the products in the transport box 20 are unlikely to be shifted in the width direction and the height direction, and the transport box 20 The gap in the transport box 20 can be filled only by packing the buffer material of a minimum of the depth of the and the products can be prevented from colliding with each other during transport. Therefore, the packaging box 1a according to the embodiment can safely transport the product while contributing to resource saving and price reduction of the product.

=== Other Examples ===
Naturally, the product stored in the packing box 1 a according to the embodiment is not limited to the battery package 100. It is sufficient if the product is flat in the depth direction corresponding to the front and rear direction of the packaging box 1a, and the width and height of the product are approximately the same as the width and depth of the packaging box. The length in the front-rear direction when the predetermined number of products are stacked in the front-rear direction may be approximately the same as the inner dimension in the front-rear direction of the packaging box 1a. Of course, even if the product is not a flat product in the depth direction, it is possible to store the product in the transport box 20 separated from one packing box 1a. For example, flexible and hard-to-break products are unlikely to be damaged if they collide with each other during transportation. Therefore, depending on the properties of the product, the width and height of the product may not be equal to the width and depth of the packaging box 1a. In the case of a product which is flat in the depth direction and whose width and height are about the same as the width and depth of the packing box 1a, as described above, when the packing box 20 is refilled, gaps are generated in the packing box 20 Also, the gap can be filled with a minimal amount of cushioning material, and even fragile products can be safely transported.

  The breakage portion 10 may not be formed at a position where the packaging box 1a is divided into two equal parts in the front and back direction. That is, the number of products that can be stored in the transport box 20 can be set appropriately. In any case, the lengths (L2, L4) of the inner flap 5B and the outer flap area 51 on the transport box 20 side may be set according to the size of the opening 21 of the transport box 20 in the vertical direction.

  The outer flaps (4L, 4R) may not be formed symmetrically. That is, the outer flap (4L or 4R) may be connected only to the upper edge of one of the left and right surfaces (3L or 3R). For example, in the packaging box 1b shown in FIG. 7, the outer flap 4R is connected only to the upper edge of the right surface 3R. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the lateral width W1 of the outer flap 4R is larger than the width W of the packing box 1b, and the tip end side of the outer flap 4R is the insertion 41. The inner flaps (5F, 5B) may not be provided at the front and back, but one having the outer flap area 51 may be provided at only one of the front and the back.

  The inner flaps (5F, 5B) having the outer flap region 51 may not be formed vertically symmetrical. For example, like the transport box 120 shown in FIG. 8, the outer flap area 51 may be formed only on one of the upper and lower inner flaps (121a, 121b). In any case, the outer flap area 51 covering the opening 21 of the transport box (20, 120) may be formed on the inner flap (5B, 121a) formed on the transport box (20, 120) side. .

  As in the packaging box 1c shown in FIG. 9, the outer flap area 51 may be provided on both of the inner flaps (5F, 5B) connected to the front and rear surfaces (2F, 2B). That is, the lengths (L5, L6) of the inner flaps (5F, 5B) connected to the front and rear surfaces (2F, 2B) are greater than half the front / rear length L of the left and right surfaces (3L, 3R) The front and rear inner flaps (5F, 5B) may be made longer to overlap with each other. Then, while making the front and back lengths (L5, L6) of the inner flaps (5F, 5B) connected to the front and back faces (2F, 2B) the same length, the lengths (L5, L6) L5 = L6 = If (L + D) / 2, it is possible to obtain two transport boxes 20 of the same size from one packaging box 1c. Also, if the front and rear positions of the fractured portion 10 are appropriately set, and the front and rear lengths (L5, L6) of the inner flaps (5F, 5B) according to the position of the fractured portion 10 are changed, two different sizes can be obtained. A shipping box 20 can also be obtained.
