Referring to, an embodiment of the present application provides a packaging boxwith a display function, which includes an outer boxand an inner box. The outer boxincludes an openingat one end along a first direction X. The inner boxis disposed inside the outer boxin a drawable manner through the opening, and the inner boxis capable of flipping relative to the outer boxin a fully pulled-out state, to switch from the fully pulled-out state to a display state. The inner boxincludes an open sidealong a second direction Y, and includes a first inner wall portiondisposed opposite to the open sidealong the second direction Y, where the second direction Y intersects the first direction X. The outer boxincludes a first outer wall portion, which is disposed away from the open sidealong the second direction Y and is indented inward along the first direction X relative to the opening. In the display state, the first inner wall portionabuts against the first outer wall portion. An additional layer plateis disposed on an outer side of the first inner wall portionfacing away from the open side, and when the inner boxis in a closed state, the additional layer plateis adjoined and flush with the first outer wall portionalong the first direction X.

The inner boxis similar in structure to a drawer. The inner boxcan be pushed into the outer boxthrough the openingor pulled out to the outside of the outer box. When the inner boxis in the closed state, an end of the inner boxthat is close to the openingis an outer end of the inner box, and an end that is far from the openingis an inner end of the inner box. The outer end of the inner boxis formed as a pulling-out end that facilitates the pulling-out and flipping operation, while the inner end of the inner boxis formed as a pivot connection end that can be pivotally connected to the outer box.

The fully pulled-out state of the inner boxrefers to a state when the inner boxis pulled out to a maximum distance from the outer box. In one embodiment, to facilitate the flipping of the inner box, the inner boxis not detached from the outer boxwhen it is in the fully pulled-out state while maintains a rotatable connection with the outer box. In other words, in the fully pulled-out state, the inner boxis pivotally connected to the outer box.

The open sideof the inner boxcan be used for taking out, putting and displaying products. The first inner wall portionis disposed opposite to the open side. Assuming that the open sideis at a top of the inner box, then the first inner wall portionis a bottom wall of the inner box.

The first outer wall portionis disposed away from the open sidealong the second direction Y, as considered when the inner boxis in the closed state. When the inner boxis in the closed state, the first inner wall portionand the first outer wall portionare disposed adjacent and opposite to each other. In one embodiment, assuming that the first inner wall portionis the bottom wall of the inner box, then the first outer wall portionis a bottom wall of the outer box.

It should be noted that, unless specifically defined or described, orientations and positional relationships mentioned in the embodiments of the present application are based on the inner boxbeing in the closed state, and this will not be repeated in the following description.

The first outer wall portionbeing indented inward along the first direction X relative to the opening, means that the first outer wall portionis located on an inner side of the openingalong the first direction X and is spaced apart from the opening, forming a clearance space between the first outer wall portionand the opening. Particularly, as shown in, the outer boxincludes an end edgeat the opening, and the first outer wall portionis indented inward along the first direction X relative to the end edge. In one embodiment, the first outer wall portionis located on an inner side of the end edgealong the first direction X and is spaced apart from the end edge, forming a clearance space between the first outer wall portionand the end edge.

In the closed state, the first inner wall portionand the first outer wall portionare disposed adjacent and opposite to each other. In the display state, the first inner wall portionabuts against the first outer wall portion. To improve the stability of the inner boxin the display state and to provide a better product display view, the inner boxcan be inclined relative to the second direction Y in the display state, that is, the first inner wall portionabuts against the first outer wall portionin an inclined manner, and the inner boxis flipped from the fully pulled-out state to the display state with an obtuse angle.

An outer surface of the first inner wall portionfacing away from the open side, may be a frosted or roughened surface, to enhance the stability of the first inner wall portionabutting against the first outer wall portion, to improve the stability of the inner boxin the display state.

In the first direction X, the additional layer platecan be disposed close to an outer end of the first inner wall portionto match with the first outer wall portion. When the inner boxis in the closed state, the additional layer plateis adjoined with the first outer wall portionalong the first direction X. In this case, the first outer wall portionand the additional layer platecan together form a side of the packaging boxalong the second direction Y.

In some examples, an outer surface of the additional layer plateis flush with an outer surface of the first outer wall portion. In some other examples, the additional layer plateand the first outer wall portionhave the same thickness and are flush with each other entirely.

The additional layer platecan be connected to the first inner wall portionby adhesive or other suitable means.

The packaging boxprovided by the embodiment of the present application includes the outer boxand the inner boxthat is disposed inside the outer boxin a drawable manner through the openingof the outer box. When the inner boxis in the closed state, the open sideof the inner boxis covered by the outer boxand can be used to store products; when the inner box is in the fully pulled-out state, the inner boxcan be flipped relative to the outer boxto the display state, to display the product located inside the inner box. The first outer wall portionof the outer boxis disposed away from the open sideof the inner box, and is indented inward relative to the openingof the outer box, forming a clearance space on the inner side of the openingto provide a clearance for the flipping of the inner box. As the inner boxflips, the first inner wall portioncan gradually move closer to the first outer wall portionand finally abut against the first outer wall portionin the display state; with the first outer wall portionsupporting the inner boxand restricting the inner boxfrom further flipping, the inner boxcan be maintained stably in the display state.

The inventor recognizes that, to provide the clearance for the inner box, a side of the first outer wall portionfacing the openingis spaced apart from the openingto form the clearance space, which would create a step between the first outer wall portionand the first inner wall portionwhen the inner boxis closed. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application further provides the additional layer plateon the outer side of the first inner wall portionfacing away from the open side, which is adjoined and flush with the first outer wall portionwhen the inner boxis in the closed state, and fills up the above-described clearance space by the additional layer plate, to avoid a significant step from being formed between the inner boxand the outer box; this is beneficial for the inner boxand the outer boxto form a flush and integral entirety, and thus the exquisite appearance of the packaging box is guaranteed, and the sense of luxury and user experience are improved.

In some embodiments, the additional layer plateincludes a concave portionrecessed along the second direction Y from the outer surface of the additional layer platefacing away from the first inner wall portion.

Exemplarily, the concave portionis formed as a groove, and in the second direction Y, a depth of the concave portionis less than the thickness of the additional layer plate.

As another example, the concave portionis formed as a through-hole that extends through the additional layer platealong the second direction Y.

By providing the concave portionon the additional layer plate, the embodiment of the present application can provide an operating space for pulling out the inner box, to facilitate the user's operation to pull out the inner box.

In some embodiments, as referred to in, the inner boxincludes a second inner wall portionand a third inner wall portiondisposed opposite to each other along the first direction X, and in the closed state, the third inner wall portionblocks at least a part of the opening. A side of the additional layer platefacing away from the first outer wall portionalong the first direction X is flush with the third inner wall portion.

The first inner wall portionis connected to the second inner wall portionand the third inner wall portionrespectively at two ends opposite to each other along the first direction X. The third inner wall portioncan be an outer end wall of the inner box, and the second inner wall portioncan be an inner end wall of the inner box.

The additional layer plateincludes a first side surfacefacing away from the first outer wall portionalong the first direction X, the third inner wall portionincludes a first surfacefacing away from the second inner wall portion, and the first side surfaceand the first surfaceare flush with each other.

The embodiment of the present application arranges the side of the additional layer platefacing away from the first outer wall portionalong the first direction X, to be flush with the third inner wall portion, and the additional layer plateneither protrudes out of nor recesses into the third inner wall portion, to further improving the appearance effect and sense of luxury of the packaging box.

In some embodiments, with reference to, the inner boxincludes a second inner wall portionand a third inner wall portiondisposed opposite to each other along the first direction X, and in the closed state, the third inner wall portionblocks at least a part of the opening. An outer surface of the second inner wall portionfacing away from the third inner wall portionis formed as an arc-shaped surfacewhich arches outward, the outer boxincludes a second outer wall portiondisposed opposite to the first outer wall portionalong the second direction Y, and in the display state, the arc-shaped surfaceabuts against the second outer wall portion.

The second outer wall portionincludes an inner surface facing the first inner wall portion, and the arc-shaped surfacecan abut against the inner surface of the second outer wall portion.

An inner surface of the second inner wall portionfacing the third inner wall portionmay be formed as a flat surface or an arc-shaped surface which recesses outward.

The second inner wall portionmay be a part formed by cutting a cylinder along a cutting plane parallel to an axial direction of the cylinder.

The second inner wall portionmay be a hollow structure with a hollow interior or a solid structure.

The inner boxincludes two fourth inner wall portionsdisposed opposite to each other along a third direction Z, and each two of the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z intersect each other. In one embodiment, each two of the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.
