Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pull-out basket technology, specifically relating to a tilting pull-out basket. Background Technology

[0002] As an important part of modern home storage, kitchen cabinets are constantly being optimized in design as people's quality of life improves. During kitchen use, various cooking utensils are frequently stored and retrieved. Placing them directly on the countertop not only takes up workspace but also affects the overall tidiness of the kitchen; completely storing them inside cabinets is inconvenient for frequent access. To solve this dilemma, slanted pull-out baskets with tilting doors have gradually appeared on the market. Without pulling the basket out, the front of the basket can be partially opened by tilting and flipping the door, making it easy to retrieve condiments, thus balancing storage and ease of use.

[0003] However, the commonly used slanted pull-out baskets still have some shortcomings in their structural design. These drawers typically require the cabinet door to be hinged to the bottom of the drawer and simultaneously connected to the mechanical device that enables the slanted opening. This construction necessitates multiple adjustments and fixations during door installation, making the assembly process cumbersome and complicating the overall structure, thus impacting installation efficiency and user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem of cumbersome assembly steps when installing existing tilt-down pull-out baskets in cabinets, and to provide a tilt-down pull-out basket that is easy to install.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the invention adopts the following technical solution: The tilting pull-out basket includes a storage basket, which includes side baffles, a front baffle, a rear baffle, and a bottom plate. The bottom of the front baffle is connected to the front of the bottom plate via a rotating connection structure. The front baffle, the rear baffle, and the side baffles surround the bottom plate to form the internal space of the storage basket.

[0006] The side block assembly has a front-opening mounting cavity, in which a tilting auxiliary device is installed. The tilting auxiliary device includes a housing with a cavity, a first damper, a slide, and an elastic element. The front opening of the cavity forms an extension. The slide has a push-pull groove with a side opening. The slide is installed in the cavity near the extension. The elastic element is fixedly installed in the cavity at the rear of the slide. The adjacent ends of the slide and the elastic element are connected. The cavity has a fixed frame that extends into the push-pull groove. The first damper is installed on the fixed frame, and the piston rod of the first damper abuts against the rear wall of the push-pull groove. The front end of the slide is rotatably connected to a pull rod, which extends out of the extension and is rotatably connected to the front baffle.

[0007] By applying force to flip the front baffle outward, the slide can be driven by the pull rod to extend outward relative to the outside of the shell cavity during the compression of the first damper, and the elastic element can be elastically stretched. When the force is removed, the elastic element will drive the slide and the pull rod to return to their relative positions along the inside of the shell through elastic recovery.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the tilting pull-out basket of the present invention integrates the first damper, the slide, the housing, and the elastic element into the mounting cavity of the side baffle assembly by setting a tilting auxiliary device structure inside the side baffle assembly. While achieving smooth tilting and automatic reset of the front baffle, it cleverly utilizes the buffering effect of the first damper to significantly reduce the impact and noise during the opening and closing of the door panel. It achieves a high degree of modularity of the tilting opening and closing function, which not only significantly simplifies the overall structure and avoids the cumbersome steps of separate installation and debugging of the cabinet door, bottom hinge, and mechanical device in traditional designs, but also effectively eliminates the impact and noise when the door panel is tilted through the buffering effect of the first damper. This makes the installation process simpler and faster, and the user operation quieter and smoother, fundamentally solving the problems of complex installation and difficult calibration in the prior art.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer end of the housing is provided with connecting edges extending upward and downward respectively, and connecting edges are provided with connecting holes respectively. The side guard assembly is provided with connecting posts on the upper and lower sides of the outer end of the mounting cavity. The tilting auxiliary device is installed in the mounting cavity from the front opening and is limited and abutted against the front side of the side guard assembly by the connecting edges. The tilting auxiliary device is assembled on the side guard assembly, and then the connecting holes of the connecting edges and the connecting posts are connected by screws to fix the tilting auxiliary device on the side guard assembly. With this configuration, by setting the connecting edges with connecting holes to cooperate with the connecting posts of the side guard assembly and using screws for fixation, the tilting auxiliary device can be quickly and accurately positioned and firmly installed on the side guard assembly, which greatly simplifies the assembly process and improves the modularity and installation efficiency.

[0010] Furthermore, the side baffle assembly has a front-opening mounting hole on the upper side of the mounting cavity. A second damper is disposed in the mounting hole, and the piston rod of the second damper extends out of the mounting hole. The second damper is used to provide buffering damping when the front baffle is relatively reset. By adding a second damper on the upper side of the mounting cavity, its piston rod provides additional buffering damping when the front baffle is reset, forming a dual silent buffering system with the first damper. This not only further reduces reset impact and noise, but also improves the smoothness and stability of the front baffle closing process, enhancing the user's sense of quietness and overall quality.

[0011] Furthermore, the elastic element is a tension spring, and hooks are respectively provided on the rear side wall of the housing cavity and the rear side of the slide. The two ends of the tension spring are respectively hooked onto the corresponding hooks. By setting the elastic element specifically as a tension spring and using hooks for hooking, a simple, reliable and easy-to-assemble elastic reset solution is provided, which effectively ensures the consistency and stability of the reset action of the slide and the front baffle, while reducing manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty.

[0012] Furthermore, the housing has an insertion port on the other side of the push-top groove opening, which communicates with the housing cavity. The insertion port is equipped with an outer cover, which is used to open or close the insertion port. With this configuration, by providing an insertion port with an outer cover on the housing, the first damper can be conveniently installed or removed from the push-top groove from the side without disassembling the entire tilting auxiliary device or pull basket. This greatly facilitates the maintenance, replacement, or initial installation of the damper, and improves the maintainability and service life of the product.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting hole and mounting cavity are integrally produced with the side guard assembly through extrusion molding. A front cover is provided on the front side of the side guard assembly, and the front cover has a clearance opening corresponding to the tilting auxiliary device and the second damper. By setting it up in this way, by integrally extruding the mounting hole and mounting cavity with the side guard assembly and sealing them with the front cover with clearance opening, not only is efficient and standardized production of key structural components achieved, reducing manufacturing costs, but also the strength and precision of the overall structure are ensured. At the same time, the appearance is simpler and more beautiful, and it is convenient for the quick assembly and maintenance of the tilting auxiliary device and the second damper.

[0014] Furthermore, the carriage is slidably connected to the shell cavity via a guide structure on its side. The guide structure is a slide rail device or a guide post and guide sleeve structure. By setting a guide structure, such as a slide rail device or a guide post and guide sleeve structure, for the sliding connection between the carriage and the shell cavity, the movement trajectory of the carriage is accurate and smooth during the compression of the first damper and the stretching of the elastic element, effectively preventing jamming or deviation, thereby improving the reliability and operation feel of the entire flipping and resetting action.

[0015] Furthermore, the front baffle and the bottom plate are rotatably connected by a hinge or pivot structure. By using mature and standard connectors such as hinges or pivots to achieve the rotatable connection between the front baffle and the bottom plate, the structural design is simplified, the manufacturing and assembly difficulty is reduced, the smoothness and reliability of the rotation process are ensured, and the durability and consistency of the product are improved.

[0016] Furthermore, the upper end of the side guard assembly extends to the upper side of the rear baffle, and a top box is slidably connected between the upper parts of the two side guard assemblies. The top box can slide out or return to its original position behind the storage basket. With this configuration, by adding a top box that can slide out backward between the upper parts of the two side guard assemblies, an additional convenient top storage space is provided on the basis of the original storage basket, which effectively expands the storage capacity and functionality of the pull-out basket, making it more convenient to access frequently used small items, and further improving space utilization and user experience.

[0017] Furthermore, the upper end of the front baffle is provided with an L-shaped hooking part, and also includes a storage box with an upper opening. The upper edge of the storage box is provided with a hooking groove that hooks onto the hooking part. The storage box is hooked onto the hooking part through the hooking groove, so that the storage box is placed on the front side of the storage basket. With this configuration, by providing an L-shaped hooking part at the upper end of the front baffle and cooperating with the hooking groove of the storage box, the storage box can be stably hung on the front baffle. When the front baffle is flipped outward, the user can directly and conveniently take out and put in the storage box without fully opening the pull-out basket, which greatly optimizes the convenience of storing and retrieving frequently used small items and further improves the ease of operation and practicality.

[0022] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 3 The tilting pull-out basket of the present invention includes a storage basket 1. The storage basket 1 includes side baffle assemblies 2, a front baffle 3, a rear baffle 4 and a bottom plate 5 located on both sides. The bottom of the front baffle 3 is connected to the front side of the bottom plate 5 through a rotating connection structure. The front baffle 3, the rear baffle 4 and the side baffle assemblies 2 surround the outer periphery of the bottom plate 5 to form the internal space of the storage basket 1.

[0024] The side baffle assembly 2 has a front-opening mounting cavity 21, in which a tilting auxiliary device 6 is installed. The tilting auxiliary device 6 includes a housing 61 with a cavity, a first damper 62, a slide 63, and an elastic member 64. The front opening of the cavity forms an extension 611. The slide 63 has a push groove 631 with a side opening. The slide 63 is installed in the cavity near the extension 611. The elastic member 64 is fixedly installed in the cavity at the rear of the slide 63. The adjacent ends of the slide 63 and the elastic member 64 are connected. The cavity has a fixing frame 69 that extends into the push groove 631. The first damper 62 is installed on the fixing frame 69, and the piston rod of the first damper 62 abuts against the rear wall of the push groove 631. The front end of the slide 63 is rotatably connected to a pull rod 68. The pull rod 68 extends out of the extension 611 and is rotatably connected to the front baffle 3.

[0025] By applying force to flip the front baffle 3 outward, the slide 63 can be driven by the pull rod 68 to extend outward relative to the outside of the shell cavity during the compression of the first damper 62, and the elastic member 64 can be elastically stretched. When the force is removed, the elastic member 64 will drive the slide 63 and the pull rod 68 to return to their original positions relative to each other along the inside of the shell 61 through elastic recovery.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the tilting pull-out basket of the present invention integrates the first damper 62, the slide 63, the housing 61 and the elastic element 64 into the mounting cavity 21 of the side baffle assembly 2 by setting a tilting auxiliary device 6 structure in the side baffle assembly 2. While realizing the smooth flipping and automatic reset of the front baffle 3, it cleverly utilizes the buffering effect of the first damper 62 to significantly reduce the impact and noise during the opening and closing of the door panel. It realizes a high degree of modularity of the tilting opening and closing function, which not only significantly simplifies the overall structure and avoids the cumbersome steps of separate installation and debugging of cabinet doors, bottom hinges and mechanical devices in traditional designs, but also effectively eliminates the impact and noise when the door panel flips through the buffering effect of the first damper 62. This makes the installation process simpler and faster, and the user operation quieter and smoother, fundamentally solving the problems of complex installation and difficult calibration of the prior art.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment, the outer end of the housing 61 is provided with connecting edges 612 extending upward and downward respectively, and connecting edges 612 are respectively provided with connecting holes 613.

The tilting auxiliary device 6 is installed in the mounting cavity 21 from the front opening and is limited and abutted against the front side of the side guard assembly 2 by the connecting edges 612. The tilting auxiliary device 6 is assembled on the side guard assembly 2, and then the connecting holes 613 of the connecting edges 612 and the connecting posts 25 are connected by screws to fix the tilting auxiliary device 6 on the side guard assembly 2. With this arrangement, by setting the connecting edges 612 with connecting holes 613 to cooperate with the connecting posts 25 of the side guard assembly 2 and using screws to fix them, the tilting auxiliary device 6 can be quickly and accurately positioned and firmly installed on the side guard assembly 2, which greatly simplifies the assembly process and improves the modularity and installation efficiency.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the side baffle assembly 2 is provided with a front-opening mounting hole 22 on the upper side of the mounting cavity 21. A second damper 23 is disposed in the mounting hole 22, and the piston rod of the second damper 23 extends out of the mounting hole 22. The second damper 23 is used to provide buffer damping when the front baffle 3 is relatively reset. With this arrangement, by adding a second damper 23 on the upper side of the mounting cavity 21, its piston rod provides additional buffer damping when the front baffle 3 is reset, forming a dual silent buffer system with the first damper 62. This not only further reduces the reset impact and noise, but also improves the smoothness and stability of the front baffle 3 closing process, enhancing the user's sense of quietness and overall quality.

[0029] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the elastic element 64 is a tension spring, and hooks are respectively provided on the rear side wall of the housing cavity and the rear side of the slide 63. The two ends of the tension spring are respectively hooked onto the corresponding hooks. By setting the elastic element 64 as a tension spring and using hooks for hooking, a simple, reliable and easy-to-assemble elastic reset solution is provided, which effectively ensures the consistency and stability of the reset action of the slide 63 and the front baffle 3, while reducing manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty.

With this arrangement, by providing an inlet 610 with an outer cover 65 on the housing 61, the first damper 62 can be conveniently installed or removed from the push groove 631 from the side without disassembling the entire tilting auxiliary device 6 or the pull basket. This greatly facilitates the maintenance, replacement or initial installation of the damper and improves the maintainability and service life of the product.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the mounting hole 22 and mounting cavity 21 are integrally produced with the side guard assembly 2 by extrusion molding.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment (not shown), the slide 63 is slidably connected to the shell cavity via a guide structure on its side.
