[0025] In order to further understand the content of this utility model, Figures 1-7 The present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0026] Combined with attachment Figures 1-7 The present embodiment is a foldable container, comprising a main body and a bottom plate 3. The main body comprises a first body 1 and a second body 2. The first body 1 and the second body 2 are both soft sheet structures. The two side edges of the first body 1 are detachably hinged to the two side edges of the second body 2. When in use, the bottom plate 3 is laterally arranged at the bottom of the first body 1 and the second body 2 and is arranged between the first body 1 and the second body 2, for propping up the container and for supporting the bottom. When in a folded state, the bottom plate 3 is folded relative to the main body, and then when pressure is applied, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are deformed, thereby merging the first body 1 and the second body 2 into a sheet shape. In specific applications, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are made of plastic, which has the softness and elasticity to make the first body 1 and the second body 2 easily deformable.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are identical parts made from the same mold. A first hinge shaft 11 is provided on one side of the first body 1, and a first hinge groove 21 is provided on the other side of the first body 1. Correspondingly, a first hinge shaft 11 is provided on one side of the second body 2, and a first hinge groove 21 is provided on the other side of the second body 2. The first body 1 and the second body 2 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first hinge shaft 11 of the first body 1 is provided in the first hinge groove 21 of the second body 2, and the first hinge shaft 11 of the second body 2 is provided in the first hinge groove 21 of the first body 1.

[0028] In specific applications, the cross-sectional diameters of the first hinge slot 21 and the first hinge shaft 11 are adapted to each other, and the first hinge shaft 11 is disposed in the first hinge slot 21. Two opposing first limiting portions 211 are provided at the entrance of the first hinge slot 21, and the distance between the two first limiting portions 211 is less than the cross-sectional diameter of the first hinge shaft 11 to prevent the first hinge shaft 11 from slipping out after entering the first hinge slot 21. Due to the elastic properties of the plastic product, the first hinge shaft 11 can enter the first hinge slot 21 by stretching apart the two opposing first limiting portions 211. The first limiting portion 211 is provided with a first undercut 214 for preventing the first hinge shaft 11 from slipping out of the first hinge slot 21, and the first limiting portion 211 is provided with a first transition slope 212 for helping the first hinge shaft 11 enter the first hinge slot 21. The first transition slopes 212 of the two first limiting portions 211 are in a relatively expanded state, making it easier for the first hinge shaft 11 to enter the first hinge slot 21. The hinge structure described above allows the first hinge axis 11 and first hinge slot 21 to be separated or combined according to user needs, increasing user flexibility. In this embodiment, the first hinge axis 11 is a long axis. A first reinforcement portion 111 is provided between the first hinge axis 11 and the first body 1 / second body 2. Multiple first reinforcement portions 111 are provided and spaced apart to strengthen the first hinge axis 11. The corresponding sidewalls of the first hinge slot 21 are provided with first notches 213 to avoid the first reinforcement portions 111.

[0029] One side of the base plate 3 is hinged to the first body 1, and the second body 2 is provided with a mounting portion 22, and the other side of the base plate 3 is mounted on the mounting portion 22. In other embodiments, both the first body 1 and the second body 2 are provided with a mounting portion 22 for mounting the base plate 3, and the base plate 3 is directly mounted on the mounting portion 22. The base plate 3 is provided with a second hinge shaft 31, and the first body 1 is provided with a mounting portion 16. The mounting portion 16 is provided with a second hinge groove 12 that is adapted to the cross-sectional diameter length of the second hinge shaft 31, and the second hinge shaft 31 is provided in the second hinge groove 12. Two opposing second limiting portions 121 are provided at the entrance of the second hinge groove 12, and the distance between the two second limiting portions 121 is less than the diameter length of the cross section of the second hinge shaft 31 to prevent the second hinge shaft 31 from falling out after entering the second hinge groove 12. The second restricting portion 121 is provided with a second undercut 124 to prevent the second hinge shaft 31 from escaping from the second hinge slot 12. The second restricting portion 121 is also provided with a second transition slope 122 to facilitate entry of the second hinge shaft 31 into the second hinge slot 12. The second transition slopes 122 of the two second restricting portions 121 are in a relatively expanded state. A second reinforcement portion 311 is provided between the second hinge shaft 31 and the base plate 3. Multiple second reinforcement portions 311 are provided and spaced apart to strengthen the second hinge shaft 31. Second notches 123 are provided on the corresponding sidewalls of the second hinge slot 12 to avoid the second reinforcement portions 311.

[0030] The first body 1 and the second body 2 have the same structure. The second body 2 is also provided with a mounting portion 16 . The mounting portion 16 of the second body 2 is a mounting portion 22 .

[0031] Both the first body 1 and the second body 2 are provided with a hollow structure 6 and a deformation-assisting portion 7. Multiple deformation-assisting portions 7 are evenly spaced and are elongated, protruding and curved. These thin portions are longitudinally arranged, allowing the first and second bodies 1 and 2 to easily deform when expanded or folded.

[0032] The main body is provided with a handle 4, which is connected to the main body through a connecting member 5. The main body is provided with a connecting hole 15, the handle 4 is provided with a through hole 41, the connecting member 5 is provided with a buckle 51, the buckle 51 passes through the through hole 41 and is clamped with the connecting hole 15, and the handle 4 is clamped between the connecting member 5 and the main body.

[0033] When in use, the first and second bodies 1 and 2 are spread apart, with the bottom plate 3 positioned horizontally for placing items or clothing. When folding, the bottom plate 3 is folded relative to the first and second bodies 1 and 2, positioned between them, and a force is applied to flatten the first and second bodies 1 and 2, merging them together to reduce their volume and facilitate storage.

[0034] The above has schematically described the present invention and its embodiments. This description is not restrictive.
