## CPC

- B65D 81/05: maintaining contents at spaced relation from package walls, or from other contents ({B65D81/022, B65D81/025, } B65D81/03 take precedence)
- B65D 25/04: Partitions
- B65D 81/075: {the contents being located between two membranes stretched between opposed sides of the package}
- B65D 85/34: for fruit, e.g. apples, oranges or tomatoes
- B65D: CONTAINERS FOR STORAGE OR TRANSPORT OF ARTICLES OR MATERIALS, e.g. BAGS, BARRELS, BOTTLES, BOXES, CANS, CARTONS, CRATES, DRUMS, JARS, TANKS, HOPPERS, FORWARDING CONTAINERS; ACCESSORIES, CLOSURES, OR FITTINGS THEREFOR; PACKAGING ELEMENTS; PACKAGES

## Abstract

The present invention discloses a packaging box comprising separation plates, wherein the separation plate comprises an upper separation film, a lower separation film and a frame, the upper separation film and the lower separation film are fixed on the frame, and a pre-set distance is provided between the two films. During packaging, a fruit is packaged by snapping with the separation plates from top and bottom, or the fruit is packaged by snapping directly with the upper separation film and the lower separation film of the same separation plate from top and bottom. By packaging the fruit with the upper separation film and the lower separation film which have a certain elasticity and a tensile force, the fruit can be fixed via elastic deformation, the fruits in the same layer can be prevented from colliding against each other, and a certain distance is provided between separation plates and between the upper separation film and the lower separation film so as to form a buffer area, which prevents the fruits in the upper layer and in the lower layer from colliding against each other during transportation.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A packaging box for packaging a plurality of objects, comprising:
a plurality of separation plates, wherein the separation plates each include:
an elastic upper separation film,
an elastic lower separation film,
a frame for supporting the upper separation film and the lower separation film, wherein the upper separation film and the lower separation film are fixed on the frame and spaced apart from each other, wherein a pre-set distance is provided between the upper separation film and the lower separation film, and
a skeleton provided on the frame where the skeleton passes between the upper separation film and the lower separation film and has a grid shape extending between opposing sides of the frame;
wherein the plurality of separation plates are stacked one above another via the frames, wherein a plurality of cavities for fixing a respective plurality of objects to be packaged are formed between the upper separation film of each separation plate and the lower separation film of an adjacently stacked separation plate so that the upper separation film of each separation plate and the lower separation film of the adjacently stacked separation plate fix the objects to be packaged in the cavities by elastic deformation, and
wherein the pre-set distance provided between the upper separation film and the lower separation film on each separation plate provides a spacing between the plurality of objects to be packaged fixed in the plurality of cavities.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The packaging box of claim 1, wherein a vent is provided on the frame and the vent is located either above the upper separation film or below the lower separation film.

### Claim 3

A packaging box for packaging an object, comprising:
a plurality of separation plates, wherein the separation plates each include:
an elastic upper separation film,
an elastic lower separation film,
a frame for supporting the upper separation film and the lower separation film and having opposing sides, and
a skeleton provided on the frame so that it passes either above the upper separation film or below the lower separation film and has a grid shape extending between opposing sides of the frame,
wherein the upper separation film and the lower separation film are fixed on the frame and spaced apart from each other so that a pre-set distance is provided between the upper separation film and the lower separation film;
wherein a secondary frame is provided on the upper separation film of each separation plate and the upper separation film is fixed in a hinge connection on the frame via the secondary frame, so that the upper separation film can be opened and closed while remaining fixed on the frame; and
a cavity for fixing an object to be packaged is enclosed by the upper separation film, the lower separation film, and the frame, so that the upper separation film and the lower separation film fix the object to be packaged by elastic deformation.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The packaging box of claim 3, wherein a vent is provided on the frame and the vent is located between the upper separation film and the lower separation film.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The packaging box of claim 2, wherein the longitudinal section of the frame is an upright Z-shape, and the separation plates are snapped together via the Z-shaped structure of the frame such that the separation plates are stacked.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The packaging box of claim 5, wherein the frame is composed of an inner frame and an outer frame having square longitudinal sections, the inner and outer frames are fixed in a staggered manner in the direction of the longitudinal section to form the frame of an upright Z-shaped structure.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The packaging box of claim 6, further comprising an upper cover and a lower cover and the upper cover and the lower cover are respectfully fixed at upper and lower ends of the separation plates which are stacked.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The packaging box of claim 7, further comprising a wave-shaped buffer member, the buffer member being fixed on an outer surface of the separation plates which are stacked.

### Claim 9 (depends on 3)

The packaging box of claim 3, further comprising a box body, the box body being provided with at least two cavities for accommodating the separation plates, a space for separating the separation plates is provided between the cavities, and the separation plates are fixed in the cavities of the box body.
