Description

The utility model relates to a container 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], [5].

[0007] Archive boxes described in patents RU 192699 U1 are known from the prior art. RU 74341 U1. RU 131670 U1. RU 135286 U1. RU 199873 U1, RU 215531 U1.

[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 boxes in an automated archival document storage system.

DISCLOSURE OF THE ESSENCE OF THE UTILITY MODEL

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

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

[0013] The claimed technical result is achieved through the implementation of a box made of cardboard containing:

the bottom of the box (6), formed by the connection of the lower valves (7, 8) of the front (1) and rear (2) walls of the box,

wherein the cover (3) contains an insert valve (9),

the size of the cover (3) in the direction parallel to the axis of its rotation corresponds to the outer size of the box in the same direction,

the size of the side flaps (21, 22), forming the inner part of the side walls (4, 5) of the box, is less than the outer size of the box by the sum of two cardboard thicknesses and the thickness of the insert flap (9).

[0014] In one of the particular implementation examples, the cardboard is selected from the group: binding cardboard or multilayer combined cardboard containing layers of binding cardboard and micro-corrugated cardboard.

[0015] In another particular example of implementation, the claimed box assembly has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0016] In another particular embodiment, the cover (3) is connected to the back wall (2) by gluing.

[0017] In another particular example of implementation, the lower flaps (7, 8) of the front (1) and rear (2) walls of the box are connected by gluing.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] In FIG. Figure 1 shows a layout of the claimed box.

[0019] In FIG. Figure 2 shows a view of the claimed box from the inside.

[0020] In FIG. Figure 3 shows a diagram of the design of the side valves of the box.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0021] In FIG. Figure 1 shows a layout of the claimed box. The claimed box is made of at least three elements made of cardboard and divided by fold lines into sections forming

front wall (1), containing two side flaps (11, 12) and a lower flap (7),

rear wall (2) containing two side flaps (21, 22) and a bottom flap (8),

a cover (3) containing an insert valve (9).

[0022] In FIG. 1 solid line means a cut line, a dotted line means a fold line. Fold lines are applied by scoring and/or scoring. The fold lines are made mutually perpendicular and ensure the formation of a box with the specified internal dimensions.

[0023] Cardboard is used to make the box. In one of the embodiments of the claimed solution, the box is made of binding cardboard. Binding cardboard is one of the most durable types of cardboard and, due to its structure, can withstand high mechanical loads.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, a multi-layer composite board is used, containing layers of bookboard and micro-corrugated board. The outer layers of multi-layer composite cardboard consist of a strong base of bookbinding cardboard, known for its increased rigidity [6], with at least one inner layer consisting of micro-corrugated cardboard. The use of multilayer composite cardboard for the manufacture of a box makes it possible to increase the strength of each of the elements of the box due to the combination of the known strength characteristics [4], [5] of corrugated cardboard and binding cardboard [6], thereby increasing the strength characteristics of the entire box.

[0025] In a particular example of implementation, each of at least three elements of the box (1, 2, 3) can be made of cardboard selected from the group: binding cardboard or multilayer combined cardboard containing layers of binding cardboard and micro-corrugated cardboard. Thus, for the manufacture of each of the at least three elements of the box, both binding cardboard and multi-layer composite cardboard can be used. In a preferred embodiment, the front (1) and rear (2) walls, each of which contains two side flaps (11, 12, 21, 22) and a bottom flap (7, 8), are made of multi-layer composite cardboard, and the lid (3 ), containing an insert valve (9), made of bookbinding cardboard.

[0026] Microcorrugated cardboard used in multi-layer composite cardboard is a subtype of E-type corrugated cardboard. Microcorrugated cardboard is characterized by high rigidity, strength, resistance to deformation and adverse conditions. Microcorrugated cardboard consists of 3 layers, between two sheets of flat cardboard (called liners) there is one corrugated layer (also known as fluting or corrugation). The corrugated layer creates an air cushion, which gives micro-corrugated cardboard strength and shock-absorbing ability. Thanks to this, multilayer composite cardboard has high depreciation rates compared to other types of cardboard, for example, bookbinding cardboard.

[0027] Corrugated and flat layers of micro-corrugated cardboard must be glued together at the tops of the corrugations. In one of the particular implementation examples, starch glue with hydrophobic additives is used to glue corrugated and flat layers of micro-corrugated cardboard. The use of micro-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 side walls (4, 5) of the box are made double by connecting the side flaps (11, 12, 21, 22) of the front (1) and rear (2) walls. Each of the side walls (4, 5) is formed by bending the side flaps (11, 12, 21, 22) of the front (1) and rear (2) walls along the fold lines. In a preferred embodiment, the fold lines are crease lines. In a particular implementation example, double creasing is used to separate the side walls (4, 5) and side flaps (11, 12, 21, 22).

[0029] When assembling the box, the side flaps (11, 12) of the front wall (1) are bent at an angle of 90° to the front wall (1) and connected to the side flaps (21, 22) of the rear wall (2), which are bent at an angle of 90 ° to the rear wall (2). In the preferred embodiment, after bending, the side flaps (11, 21) are glued together in pairs along the plane, similarly, the side flaps (12, 22) are glued in pairs to each other along the plane, which promotes strong fixation of the side flaps and gives the box structure additional rigidity, thereby increasing its strength characteristics.

[0030] In one alternative embodiment of the claimed solution, the side flaps (11, 12, 21, 22) are connected using stitching, for example, stitching.

[0031] The presence of double side walls (4, 5) and strong fixation of the side flaps provides additional rigidity to the box structure, thereby increasing its strength characteristics. Due to the fact that the above design will avoid sagging of the cover (3) under vertical load due to the fact that the cover (3) will rest (in the closed state) on double walls that do not deform from the application of load and do not shift due to the strong fixing the side walls. [0032] In FIG. 2, 3 shows a view of the claimed box from the inside and from above, demonstrating the connection of the side flaps of the box.

[0033] The front (1) and rear (2) walls of the box are made of cardboard, where K is the thickness of the cardboard, N is the thickness of the insert valve (9), M is the outer size of the box, L is the size of the side valve (21, 22).

[0034] In the preferred embodiment of the claimed solution, the size of the side flaps (21, 22) forming the inner part of the side walls (4, 5) of the box is less than the outer size of the box by the sum of two cardboard thicknesses and the thickness of the insert flap (9), i.e. L=M - (2K+N).

[0035] The design of the side flaps (21, 22) of the above size allows, when connecting the side flaps (11, 12, 21, 22) of the front (1) and rear (2) walls, to form side walls (4, 5), each of which will have a technological longitudinal groove corresponding to the thickness (N) of the insert valve (9). In other words, each technological longitudinal groove represents a longitudinal recess between the front wall (1) and the corresponding side flap (21, 22), which is clearly shown in Fig. 2. Since the size of the technological longitudinal groove corresponds to the thickness (N) of the insert valve (9), this allows the insert valve (9) to be firmly fixed in the technological longitudinal grooves with the lid closed, which provides additional rigidity to the box structure. Due to the fact that the side walls (4, 5) bear the main load when the box interacts with the gripper of the robot manipulator, the side valves (21, 22) of the rear wall (2) under load can additionally increase the pressure on the insert valve (9) of the lid (3), thereby increasing the tightness of fixing the lid (3) in the closed state and preventing spontaneous opening when applying physical stress to the box.

[0036] The bottom of the box (6) is formed by connecting the lower valves (7, 8) of the front (1) and rear (2) walls of the box. The connection of the lower valves (7, 8) of each of the walls of the box (1, 2) forms a rigid coupling, which allows for additional rigidity of the box structure, thereby increasing its strength characteristics. In a particular example of implementation, the lower flaps (7, 8) of the front (1) and rear (2) walls of the box are connected by gluing, which provides additional strength to the box structure.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the size (area) of the lower flaps (7, 8) are different, so the size of one of the lower flaps (for example, the lower flap (7)) corresponds to the outer size of the box, and the size of the other of the lower flaps (for example, the lower valve (8)) corresponds to the internal size of the box. This ratio of the sizes (areas) of the lower valves (7, 8) makes it possible to avoid the presence of gaps and uneven joints between the elements of the box and thereby achieve strong fixation of the bottom of the box (6), which provides additional strength to the box structure.

[0038] The box cover (3) is connected to the rear wall (2) on the side opposite to the insert flap (9) by gluing. In a particular example of implementation, the cover (3) is glued to the rear wall (2) with calico tape on the outer and inner sides of the cover (3) and the rear wall (2).

[0039] To fix the box cover, Velcro-type contact tapes are used (“Hook&Loop” fastening option). The tapes are secured to the lid (3) and the front wall (1) of the box with metal clips so that there are no sharp protrusions on the inside, while the place where the staples bend is covered from the inside with a paper patch.

[0040] The size of the cover (3) is larger than the internal size of the box and in the direction parallel to its rotation axis corresponds to the outer size of the box, which allows the cover (3) to be tightly fixed on the side walls (4, 5) of the box in the closed state, giving the structure additional rigidity and protecting the cover from pushing through under vertical load.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the width of the insert flap (9) is less than the width of the lid (3) by two cardboard thicknesses (or the sum of the thicknesses of the side flaps (11, 12)).

[0042] The use of an insert valve (9) allows one to avoid displacement of the lid to the sides when it is in the closed state, which allows for additional rigidity of the box structure, thereby increasing its strength characteristics.

[0043] Thanks to the strong fixation of the insert valve (9) in the technological longitudinal grooves, the size of which corresponds to the thickness (N) of the insert valve (9), when the cover (3) is closed, spontaneous opening of the cover (3) is prevented when physical loads are applied to the box and is ensured additional rigidity of the box structure, thereby increasing its strength characteristics. In addition, the above design of the box (the possibility of firmly fixing the insert valve (9) in the technological longitudinal grooves) gives it additional strength when stacked (i.e. when laying boxes in several tiers).

[0044] Additional rigidity of the box structure is provided by intersecting corrugated layers of micro-corrugated cardboard used in multi-layer composite cardboard, which acts as a material for creating the claimed box. Crossing of corrugated layers occurs when one sheet of multilayer composite cardboard is laid on another. Since the corrugated layer (corrugation) better holds the lateral load, the combination of longitudinal and transverse corrugations increases the rigidity of the structure by 2-4 times. The crossing of corrugated layers is achieved by making the corrugated layers of each of the box elements (1, 2) multidirectional in relation to each other. For example, the front wall (1) containing two side flaps (11, 12) and the bottom flap (7) will have the longitudinal direction of the corrugated layer of micro-corrugated cardboard used in multi-layer composite board, and the rear wall (2) containing two side flaps (21 , 22) and the bottom flap (8) will have a transverse direction of the corrugated layer of micro-corrugated cardboard used in multi-layer composite cardboard.

[0045] Thus, when connecting the side flaps (11, 12) of the front wall (1) with the side flaps (21, 22) of the rear wall (2), side walls (4, 5) will be formed with a multidirectional structure of the corrugated layer of micro-corrugated cardboard used in multilayer combined cardboard, which will provide additional rigidity to the box structure. Similarly, when connecting the bottom flap (7) of the front wall (1) with the bottom flap (8) of the rear wall (2), the bottom of the box (6) will be formed with a multi-directional structure of a corrugated layer of micro-corrugated cardboard used in multi-layer composite cardboard, which will also provide additional rigidity box designs.

[0046] In a particular example of implementation, for connecting (gluing) the elements of the box, in particular, the side flaps (11, 12, 21, 22), as well as the lower flaps (7, 8) can be used, but not limited to the above examples: sodium glass liquid [7], coarsely dispersed polyvinyl acetate homopolymer dispersion [8], synthetic latex [9].

[0047] The corners of the box and the joints of the box elements are glued with calico tapes, which have increased moisture resistance. All walls (1, 2, 4, 5), the bottom (6) and the cover (3) of the box are covered on the outside with foam vinyl [10], for example, with foam vinyl of the PMB 2M brand. The internal seams of the box are sealed with polymer glue or plastic.
