Abstract

The present utility model relates to a packaging box. The packaging box includes: an upper cover; and a lower cover. The upper cover and the lower cover can be combined together to form an internal packaging space therebetween. The packaging box further includes at least one spacer provided in the interior of at least one of the upper cover and the lower cover. When the upper cover and the lower cover are combined, the spacer divides the internal packaging space into at least a left cavity and a right cavity. The left cavity and the right cavity have a left outlet and a right outlet, respectively, and at least one of the upper cover and the lower cover is provided with at least one flip cover. The at least one flip cover can be flipped vertically to close or open the left outlet and/or the right outlet. In the present utility model, various types of blocks can be stored in one packaging box and easily accessed by a consumer with one hand, thereby greatly improving user experience of the consumer.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A packaging box defining a first axis, a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, and a third axis perpendicular to the first axis and the second axis, the packaging box comprising:
an upper cover;
a lower cover, wherein the upper cover and the lower cover can be combined together along the third axis to form an internal packaging space therebetween; and
at least one spacer provided in the interior of at least one of the upper cover and the lower cover extending along the second axis;
wherein, when the upper cover and the lower cover are combined, the spacer divides the internal packaging space into at least a left cavity and a right cavity;
wherein the packaging box comprises opposing front and rear walls extending along the first axis, and opposing right and left walls extending along the second axis, the front and rear walls being longer than the right and left walls,
wherein the left cavity and the right cavity have a left outlet and a right outlet formed on the front wall, respectively, and at least one of the upper cover and the lower cover is provided with at least one flip cover;
wherein the at least one flip cover can be flipped vertically to close or open the left outlet and/or the right outlet;
wherein a gradually inclined left guide rail is arranged within the left cavity and extends from the left wall to the front wall;
wherein a gradually inclined right guide rail is arranged within the right cavity and extends from the right wall to the front wall; and
wherein each of the right guide rail and the left guide rail forms an angle of less than 45 degrees with the front wall.

2. The packaging box according to claim 1 , wherein the spacer is a ridge provided at a position in the interior of at least one of the upper cover and the lower cover, and when the upper cover and the lower cover are combined, the ridge divides the internal packaging space into the left cavity and the right cavity.

3. The packaging box according to claim 1 , wherein the packaging box is a rectangular box, and the upper cover and the lower cover respectively have a pair of parallel long edges and a pair of parallel short edges perpendicular to the pair of parallel long edges.

4. The packaging box according to claim 3 , wherein the spacer is a straight ridge provided at a position in the interior of at least one of the upper cover and the lower cover; the ridge is parallel to the short edges; and when the upper cover and the lower cover are combined, the ridge divides the internal packaging space into the left cavity and the right cavity.

5. The packaging box according to claim 4 , wherein the spacer is a straight ridge provided at a middle position in the interior of at least one of the upper cover and the lower cover, and when the upper cover and the lower cover are combined, the ridge divides the internal packaging space into the left cavity and the right cavity having identical sizes.

6. The packaging box according to claim 1 , wherein the left outlet and the right outlet have identical or different shapes.

7. The packaging box according to claim 1 , wherein the left outlet and the right outlet have identical or different sizes.

8. The packaging box according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one flip cover is one flip cover; the one flip cover simultaneously closes or opens the left outlet and the right outlet; and the one flip cover is provided on one of the upper cover and the lower cover.

9. The packaging box according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one flip cover comprises two flip covers; the two flip covers close or open the left outlet and the right outlet, respectively; and the two flip covers are provided on one of the upper cover and the lower cover or are provided on the upper cover and the lower cover, respectively.

10. The packaging box according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one flip cover is connected by a hinge to at least one of the upper cover and the lower cover.

11. The packaging box according to claim 1 , wherein the packaging box includes both the left guide rail and the right guide rail, the left guide rail extending from a left edge of the left outlet to the left edge of the one of the upper cover and the lower cover and the right guide rail extending from a right edge of the right outlet to the right edge of the one of the upper cover and the lower cover.
