EMBODIMENTS

[0025] The technical means, creative features, objects and effects of the present disclosure will become more apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying figures.

[0026] Referring to FIGS. 1-4, a fresh-keeping paper box provided by the present disclosure comprises a box body, and the box body is composed of a side wall 2 spliced by a whole paperboard and a bottom wall 1 formed by another trimmed paperboard; the bottom wall 1 is pasted to the inner side wall of the side wall 2 and an accommodating space for containing foods is formed inside the box body; the accommodating space has an open upper end and a closed lower end; the inner side wall of the accommodating space is also laminated with a thin film layer 6 through suction or blowing plastic process; and the horizontal plane where the bottom wall 1 is located is higher than the horizontal plane where the lowest end of the side wall 2 is located to form a bottom gap of the box body.

[0027] Based on the above technical scheme, the fresh-keeping paper box comprises a box body, and the box body is composed of a side wall 2 and a bottom wall 1; a thin film layer 6 is laminated inside the box body through suction or blowing plastic process so as to effectively solve the problem that airtightness of the existing paper box is influenced by joints inevitably occurred in its molding process; the circumstance that multiple box bodies in overlaid packaging are difficult to separate due to airtightness is effectively prevented because of the bottom gap, therefore, makes it more convenient to use. To be specific, a plurality of paper boxes in overlaid packaging are generally taken out in sequence from the underside by a sucking disc, as the bottom of the previous paper box clings to the inner bottom face of the next paper box, it's easy to take out two paper boxes at the same time when the sucking disc sucks up the next paper box from the below due to the airtightness, which is very inconvenient in use and this defect has been effectively overcome by the bottom gap of the present disclosure.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the upper edge of the box body is also provided with a flanging 3 formed by outward folding of the side wall 2 to enhance the strength of the side wall 2. Moreover, the outer fringe of the flanging 3 is further folded once or more times to form a skirt border 4, and the skirt border 4 may have a cross section of “-” shape formed by folding the flanging once, or a cross section of “hollow-square” shape formed by folding the flanging twice or more times, which is dependent on the dimension of the box body in production, thereby effectively enhancing the structure strength of the side wall 2.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the outer fringe of the bottom wall 1 is folded downward to form a surrounding edge 7, the outer wall of the surrounding edge 7 is pasted to the inner side wall of the side wall 2. Further, the lower edge of the side wall 2 is folded inward to form a rib 8, the inner wall of the rib 8 is pasted to the inner wall of the surrounding edge 7 so as to effectively enhance the installation strength of the bottom wall 1. The pasting mentioned above can be realized by glue or ultrasonic. Further, the bottom wall 1 is rounded as a whole, and the side wall 2 encloses the bottom wall 1 for a circle. It should be pointed out that the bottom wall 1 can also be selected from one of other polygonal structures or irregular shapes but is not limited thereto as long as the side wall 1 is enclosed into a corresponding shape. Further, the bottom wall 1 is also provided with at least a bleeder hole (not shown in the drawings).

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the side wall 2 is formed by the enclosure of a whole paperboard, and the two edges of the paperboard are overlaid and then pasted by glue or ultrasonic to form a seam line 5; the overlaid portion is twice as thick as the paperboard, which has better airtightness as compared to the existing method of aligning the edges of the paperboard directly and then gluing the edges by adhering to a thin film layer. As the paperboard is very thin, normal use of the paper box is not influenced by the thickness as much as two paperboards. When in specific use, foods are put inside the thin film layer, and a cover film 9 is further laminated to effectively prolong the fresh-keeping period of foods. Further, both the thin film layer 6 and the cover film 9 are made of EVOH, thus have high barrier property. Furthermore, when in specific use, foods and inert gas (preferably nitrogen) are stored in the accommodating space enclosed by the thin film layer 6 and the cover film 9 so as to effectively prolong the fresh-keeping period of foods. In the operation of pasting the cover film 9, foods can be stored in the accommodating space and air in the accommodating space is replaced with nitrogen, therefore, for one thing, a closed food accommodating space is formed between the thin film layer and the cover film, and for the other thing, air is replaced by inert gas so as to isolate the foods from oxygen, thus effectively prolonging its shelf life.

[0031] When in specific use, as shown in FIG. 4, the relative thickness is exaggerated in order to show the contents clearly; theoretically, relative to the prior art, the location along the seam line 5 especially on the flanging 3 is formed by overlaying two paperboards, and an overlaying portion 10 is formed. The overlaying portion (sheet parts) 10 is twice as thick as the paperboard by mutual press fit or glue gluing or ultrasonic bonding, especially a joint of a step structure (portion B in FIG. 4) is inevitably formed at the edge of the seam line 5 such that a fold (portion A in FIG. 4) is formed at this location after the thin film layer 6 is covered, and then the cover film 9 is adhered, and after mutual fit of the cover film 9 and the thin film layer 6, it may have poor sealing property at the fold.

[0032] However, in the actual production, a paperboard is often of 0.5 mm thick, while the step B formed by the overlaying portion 10 is also of 0.5 mm thick at most. In the processes of performing mould pressing molding of the box body and the suction or blowing plastic process, the step B is compressed to keep its thickness within 0.01 mm due to compressibility of the paperboard. At the same time, under the premise that the thin film layer 6 and the cover film 9 are thin enough (e.g., a conventional film is 0.03 mm thick), the abovementioned fold is relatively negligible, especially when the cover film 9 is also laminated at a device. The thin film layer 6 and the cover film 9 can be theoretically adhered into a whole by pressing fit and hot-melting methods so as to completely solve the problem that the two are incapable of complete sealing due to the fold. In addition, the step B can be further compressed in the pressing fit process. Shown by the specific production detection result of the technical scheme, airtightness at the fold can be ensured to reach the requirement, and the circumstance that the film is damaged in the long-term storage process in the prior art is avoided.

[0033] Furthermore, the above suction plastic process mainly comprises the following steps:

[0034] Step a, cutting out a bottom wall 1 and a side wall 2 from paperboards, splicing the paperboards to form a box body, putting the spliced box body into a suction plastic mould at a suction plastic station, tensioning a film roll material serving as a sheet above the box body, and heating and softening the film roll material by a heating component above the film roll material, preferably, the lower surface of the film roll material is provided with glue or the flanging 3 of the box body is coated with glue so that viscidity is better in a heated state;

[0035] Step b, performing the suction plastic operation on the film roll material by an air extractor at the suction plastic station through cracks of the paperboards invisible to eyes, so that the film roll material downward clings to the box body under the effect of the air extractor to form the thin film layer 6, the suction port of the air extractor can be disposed at arbitrary position outside the box body; and

[0036] Step c, carrying out hot-pressing or ultrasonic bonding on the peripheral fringe of the film glued to the edge.

[0037] The above merely provides the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, which is illustrative, rather than restrictive, to the present disclosure. However, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that, many variations, modifications even substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope defined by the present disclosure, shall fall into the extent of protection of the present disclosure.
