Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The claimed solution relates to containers for storing or transporting products, in particular, to an archival box. The archival box can be used in an automated archival document storage system.

BACKGROUND OF THE ART

[0002] In the modern world, more and more organizations and individuals are switching to electronic document management. However, organizations are forced to save most of the documents in paper form due to the need to comply with the federal law “On Archival Affairs in the Russian Federation” dated October 22, 2004 No. 125-FZ [1]. Some types of documents can be disposed of after just a few years, other types of documents are stored in an organization until its liquidation, regardless of whether this organization is or is not the source of acquisition of the state or municipal archive. Such documents need to be sorted and stored in almost their original form. For this purpose, special packaging has been developed - archival boxes.

[0003] Archive boxes are an important organizational tool used in offices, archives and other institutions where a large volume of documents is regularly processed. These boxes are specially designed to efficiently organize, store and transport important documents, office supplies and other paperwork essentials.

[0004] The size and shape of the archive box may vary depending on the specific needs of each organization, including the specific content that the archive box was designed to store. The traditional design is usually a rectangular cardboard box with handholds used for ease of transport. However, the classic design can be complemented with removable or hinged lids.

[0005] Archival boxes differ in design, size, presence of locks and degree of strength. Depending on the brand of cardboard and the features of fasteners, for example, locks, the degree of strength may vary.

[0006] Standards for archival supplies, including archival boxes, are set out in various regulatory documents [2], [3], [4].

[0007] Archive boxes described in patents RU 192699 U1, RU 74341 U1, RU 131670 U1, RU 135286 U1, RU 199873 U1 are known from the prior art.

[0008] The disadvantages of boxes known from the prior art, including those described in the above patents, include the low strength of the product and the lack of the required structural rigidity necessary for the active use of archival boxes in an automated archival document storage system.

DISCLOSURE OF THE ESSENCE OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0009] When archival boxes are used in an automated document archival system, they are subject to increased physical impact from equipment used in the automated document archival system, such as roller belt conveyors, robotic loaders equipped with load-grasping mechanisms and pneumatic suction cups. In this regard, the requirements for the strength characteristics of archival boxes are increasing.

[0010] This technical solution is aimed at eliminating the disadvantages inherent in existing solutions known from the prior art.

[0011] The claimed utility model allows us to solve the technical problem of insufficient strength characteristics of archival boxes during their active use in an automated archival document storage system.

[0012] The technical result is to increase the strength characteristics of the archival box.

[0013] The declared technical result is achieved through the implementation of an archival box made of multi-layer cardboard containing:

front (1) and rear (2) covers, which are a continuation of the front (3) and rear (4) walls, respectively;

end walls (5, 6), each of which is formed by bending the upper flap (7, 8) of the corresponding end wall, while one of the end walls (5) contains a side flap (9), which is connected to the rear wall (4);

the bottom of the box (10), formed by the connection of the lower valves (11, 12, 13, 14) of each of the walls of the box (3, 4, 5, 6), and each of the lower valves (11, 13) of the end walls contains a slot (15) ,

Moreover, each of the upper valves (7, 8) contains a protrusion (16), the width of which corresponds to the width of the slot (15), the front cover (1) contains an insert valve (17), the width (W1) of which is less than the width (W2) of the front cover (1) to the height (HI) of the side valve (9), the rear cover (2) contains a shut-off valve (18) and a slot (19) between the shut-off valve (18) and the rear cover (2), and between the front cover (1) and the front wall (3) has a locking tongue (20) for fixing the rear cover (2) in the closed position.

[0014] In one of the particular implementation examples, the claimed archive box assembly has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0015] In another particular example of implementation, the multi-layer cardboard from which the archival box is made contains 5 layers.

[0016] In another particular example of implementation, the multi-layer cardboard from which the archival box is made contains 7 layers.

[0017] In another particular embodiment, the side flap (9) is connected to the rear wall (4) by gluing.

[0018] In another particular example of implementation, technological transportation openings are located on the end walls (5, 6) and top valves (7, 8).

[0019] In another particular embodiment, the width of the lock-tab (20) corresponds to the width of the slot (19) between the shut-off valve (18) and the back cover (2).

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] In FIG. Figure 1 shows a layout of the claimed archival box.

[0021] In FIG. Figure 2 shows a general view of the archive box in a closed state.

[0022] In FIG. 3, 4 shows a general view of the archive box in the open state.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0023] In FIG. Figure 1 shows a layout of the claimed archival box. The claimed box is made of a single piece made of multi-layer corrugated cardboard, divided by fold lines into sections forming the front (1) and back (2) covers, front (3) and back (4) walls, end walls (5, 6), each of which contains an upper valve (7, 8), the bottom of the box (10), formed by connecting the lower valves (11, 12, 13, 14).

[0024] In FIG. 1 solid line means a cut line, a dotted line means a fold line, a double dotted line means a double fold line. The fold lines of the workpiece are applied by scoring and/or creasing. The fold lines are made mutually perpendicular and ensure the formation of an archival box with the specified internal dimensions.

[0025] To make an archival box, multilayer corrugated cardboard is used. The use of multilayer corrugated cardboard for the manufacture of an archival box makes it possible to increase the strength of each of the elements of the archival box due to the known strength characteristics [3], [4] of multilayer corrugated cardboard, thereby increasing the strength characteristics of the entire archival box.

[0026] In a particular implementation example, five-layer corrugated cardboard, consisting of three flat (two outer and one inner) and two corrugated layers, or seven-layer corrugated cardboard, consisting of four flat (two outer and two inner) and three corrugated layers. The corrugated and flat layers of cardboard must be glued together along the tops of the corrugations.

[0027] In one particular implementation example, starch glue with hydrophobic additives is used to glue corrugated and flat layers of multi-layer corrugated cardboard. The use of multilayer corrugated cardboard, in the production of which hydrophobic additives were used, increases resistance to high humidity and temperature changes, and also reduces the likelihood of cardboard delamination.

[0028] The front (1) and rear (2) covers of the box are integral with the front (3) and rear (4) walls of the box, respectively, and can withstand up to 200 cycles of closing and opening at full payload of the box, without difficulty or tearing along the fold lines. The covers (1, 2) in the open state are illustrated in Fig. 3, 4. It should be noted that when the archive box goes into the closed state, the front cover (1) is first closed by tightly fixing the insert flap (17) with the rear wall (4). In this case, the side valve (9), connected to the rear wall (4), will not prevent the tight fixation of the insert valve (17), since the width (W1) of the insert valve (17) is less than the width (W2) of the front cover (1) by the height ( HI) side valve (9). This size ratio (i.e., making an insert valve (17) with a width of W1=W2-H1) makes it possible to provide additional rigidity to the structure of the archival box, thereby increasing its strength characteristics.

[0029] In one of the alternative embodiments of the claimed solution, a hole is made on the front cover (1) on the side adjacent to the insert valve (17) for convenient opening of the cover (1).

[0030] The design of the archive box with two covers (1,2), tightly fixed in the closed state using an insert valve (17), a shut-off valve (18) and a tongue lock (20), makes it possible to achieve additional rigidity in the structure of the archive box, thereby thereby increasing its strength characteristics. In addition, the above design of the archival box (the presence of two tightly fixed lids) gives it additional strength when stacked (i.e. when stacking boxes in several tiers).

[0031] The dimensions of the front cover (1) correspond to the internal dimensions of the box, while the dimensions of the rear cover (2) are larger than the internal dimensions of the box and correspond to the external dimensions of the box.

[0032] The back cover (2) includes a check valve (18) and a slot (19) between the check valve (18) and the back cover (2). Between the front cover (1) and the front wall (3) there is a locking tongue (20) for fixing the rear cover (2) in the closed position, and the fixation occurs due to the locking tongue (20), which folds in half along the X axis along the line folded and fits exactly into the slot (19) when the back cover (2) is in the closed position, while the width of the tongue-lock (20) corresponds to the width of the slot (19). The height of the slot (19) allows the tongue-lock (20) to freely enter the slot (19), but at the same time be tightly fixed in it and prevent spontaneous opening when applying physical stress to the box.

[0033] Each of the end walls (5, 6) is formed by folding the top flap (7, 8) of the corresponding end wall along the fold lines. In a particular example of implementation, the fold lines are scoring lines. In a preferred embodiment, double creasing is used to separate the end wall (5) and the top flap (7), as well as the end wall (6) and the top flap (8).

[0034] After bending, each of the upper flaps (7, 8) is firmly fixed into the slot (15) of the corresponding lower flap (11, 13) using the protrusion (16). The protrusion (16) of the upper valve (7) is fixed in the slot (15) of the lower valve (11), the protrusion (16) of the upper valve (8) is fixed in the slot (15) of the lower valve (13). Strong fixation is ensured by the fact that the width of the protrusion (16) corresponds to the width of the slot (15).

[0035] The presence of double walls (end walls (5, 6) and top valves (7, 8)) and strong fixation of the top valves (7, 8) provides additional rigidity to the archival box structure, thereby increasing its strength characteristics. Due to the fact that the above design will avoid sagging of the back cover (2) under vertical load due to the fact that the back cover (2) will rest (in the closed state) on double walls that do not deform from the application of load and do not move beyond by firmly fixing the protrusion (16) of each of the upper valves (7, 8) in the slot (15) of the corresponding lower valves (11, 13).

[0036] When assembling the archive box, the side flap (9) of the end wall (5) is bent at an angle of 90° to the end wall (5) and connected to the rear wall (4). In a preferred embodiment, the side flap (9) is connected to the rear wall (4) by gluing. In one of the alternative embodiments of the claimed solution, the side flap (9) is connected to the rear wall (4) using stitching, for example, stitching.

[0037] To connect (fasten) the elements of the archive box, in particular, the side flap (9) and the rear wall (4), the following examples can be used, but not limited to: dextrins [5], potato starch [6], bone glue [7 ], sodium liquid glass [8], coarse polyvinyl acetate homopolymer dispersion [9], synthetic latex [10].

[0038] The bottom of the box (10) is formed by connecting the lower flaps (11, 12, 13, 14) of each of the walls of the box (3, 4, 5, 6), and each of the lower flaps (11, 13) of the end walls contains a slot ( 15). The connection of the lower valves (11, 12, 13, 14) of each of the box walls (3,4, 5, 6) forms a rigid coupling, which makes it possible to achieve additional rigidity in the archival box structure, thereby increasing its strength characteristics.

[0039] The bottom flaps (11, 12, 13, 14) can have different geometric shapes to ensure closure of the bottom flaps of opposite walls. In a preferred embodiment, the lower valves (11, 13) are trapezoidal in shape with a rectangular protrusion, the lower valve (12) is a U-shaped polygon, the lower valve (14) is a funnel-shaped polygon.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 2, the assembled archive box has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0041] On the end walls (5, 6) and the top valves (7, 8) there are technological transportation holes designed to facilitate transportation of the declared box. When creating said holes, the cardboard is completely cut through and removed from the holes. The technological transportation holes are made in such a way that when each of the upper valves (7, 8) is bent and the protrusion (16) is fixed in the slot (15), the above holes are at the same level and form through holes.
