Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of daily necessities, in particular to a dirty clothes storage basket. Background Art

[0002] Dirty clothes storage baskets are often used to store dirty clothes. Some dirty clothes storage baskets are equipped with a cover. For example, Chinese patent application number 202120007158.7 discloses a musical laundry basket with a cover (basket lid) that is rotatably connected to the basket body. When using this storage basket, the user needs to flip up the cover to a certain angle and then put the dirty clothes into the basket.

[0003] Usually, dirty laundry is piled up rather than just one piece. Therefore, people often hold a pile of dirty laundry in both hands and place it into the laundry basket. This prevents the user from opening the basket's lid. Furthermore, the laundry may get caught on the lid and pull it closed, making it inconvenient to use. Furthermore, the laundry baskets described in the aforementioned applications are placed on the ground, which can come into contact with stagnant water, potentially causing bacteria to grow on the clothes. Furthermore, after being placed on the ground for an extended period, dirt or dust accumulates on the bottom of the basket, requiring regular cleaning, which is quite troublesome. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a dirty clothes storage basket that is more convenient to use.

[0005] The present invention is implemented by adopting the following technical solutions: a dirty clothes storage basket, comprising a basket body, which is open upward and forms a storage space for placing dirty clothes, a cover is provided at the opening of the basket body, the rear end of the cover is rotatably connected to the basket body and is equipped with a torsion spring for lifting the cover, and a press-type lock that cooperates with each other is provided between the front end of the cover and the basket body; a fixing piece is provided on the rear side of the basket body that is directly or indirectly fixed to the basket body, and the fixing piece is used to fix the basket body and keep it away from the ground.

[0006] During use, the user first fixes the basket body to the wall or glass with the fixings, so that the entire dirty clothes storage basket is off the ground. When the user is holding a pile of dirty clothes, they can gently press the cover with any part of the body (such as the elbow), and the push-type lock of the cover will be unlocked. The cover will automatically rise under the action of the torsion spring. The user then puts the dirty clothes into the storage basket. After placing them, the user closes the lid, allowing the push-type lock to lock the cover.

[0007] Among them, the push-type lock is also called a door lock switch. The push-type lock can be any existing push-type switch that can be unlocked and locked by pressing.

[0008] The fixing part may be a suction cup, a suction nozzle or the like; or a part fixed with glue.

[0009] This solution uses a push-type lock and a torsion spring to open the cover, so that when opening, the cover only needs to be pressed once, and the torsion spring will lift the entire cover, making it easier for the user to open the cover. Even if clothes fall onto the cover, the torsion spring will always keep the cover lifted, and the clothes will not be pulled down and the cover will not be closed, making it easier for the user to use. At the same time, the fixing parts can fix the entire storage basket and keep it away from the ground, thereby preventing water on the ground from seeping into the basket and causing bacteria to grow. At the same time, after long-term use, the bottom of the basket will not be covered with dirt or dust, and the user does not need to clean it, which is more convenient. In summary, the entire storage basket is more convenient and simple to use than conventional storage baskets.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting frame is fixed to the rear side of the basket body, and the connecting frame includes two vertical parts spaced apart in the left and right directions and a horizontal part connected between the two vertical parts. The fixing part is arranged on the horizontal part, and the fixing part is provided with a sliding groove that slides with the horizontal part and opens to the rear side.

[0011] The fixing piece is indirectly fixed to the basket body through the connecting frame, and the fixing piece and the cross portion are slidably matched, so that the position of the fixing piece on the cross portion is adjustable, so that the user can adjust the fixing piece to a suitable position and fix it to the wall or glass, which is more flexible in actual use.

[0012] Preferably, a buckle is provided at the upper end and / or the lower end of the opening of the slide groove, and the buckle is used to contact the outer wall of the transverse portion and apply a clamping force.

[0013] The buckle is provided so that after the position of the fixing member and the transverse portion is adjusted, no slipping occurs between the transverse portion and the fixing member.

[0014] Preferably, the front side of the fixing member basket body is extended; when the cover is lifted, the cover contacts the front side end surface of the fixing member, so that the cover is in an upright state.

[0015] The fixing part extends toward the front side of the storage basket, so that after the cover is lifted, the fixing part will press against the cover to keep the cover in an upright state. At this time, even if clothes are hung on the cover, since the cover is upright, the force line coincides with the surface of the cover and points downward, so the cover will not be easily closed under the force of the clothes.

[0016] Preferably, a support member extending rearward is provided at the bottom of the rear side of the basket body, and the rear side surface of the support member is flush with the rear side surface of the fixing member.

[0017] After the fixings of the basket body are fixed to the glass or wall, clothes will be placed in the basket body. The clothes have weight, and the fixings and the connecting frame are not only connected in a sliding manner but also in a rotating manner. Therefore, after the basket body is full of clothes, the bottom of the basket body may move toward the wall or glass, and the entire basket body will tilt. Therefore, by providing a support member flush with the fixings at the bottom of the rear side of the basket body, it can be ensured that the basket body is in a vertical state even when fully loaded.

[0018] Preferably, the inner wall of the upper end of the basket body is provided with an extension portion extending toward the inner side of the basket body, and the extension portion extends along the circumferential inner edge direction of the basket body; when the cover is closed, the upper end surface of the extension portion contacts the bottom surface of the cover, and the top surface of the cover is flush with the top surface of the basket body.

[0019] The extension portion can support the entire cover plate when it is closed, and the top surface of the cover plate is flush with the top surface of the basket body, making the structure more compact.

[0020] Preferably, the basket body includes a large box and a small box spaced apart on the left and right sides, and the large box and the small box are fixed together by the same connecting frame. The lower end of the vertical part of the connecting frame is provided with a first U-shaped piece fixed to the large box and the small box, and the large box and the small box are connected by a second U-shaped piece.

[0021] By providing the basket body with two large and small boxes spaced apart from each other, the user can separate dirty laundry during use, such as socks from underwear, to prevent the spread of bacteria. The first and second U-shaped members are U-shaped, connecting and supporting the large and small boxes.

[0022] Preferably, the side walls and the bottom of the basket body are densely covered with a plurality of ventilation holes penetrating inside and outside.

[0023] The ventilation holes are provided to facilitate ventilation inside and outside the basket body, thereby reducing bacterial growth.

[0024] Preferably, the fixing member is a suction cup.

[0025] Compared with glue sticking, suction cups are easy to reuse and will not leave glue marks.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. It is suspended in the air and does not touch the ground, thereby preventing accumulated water from contacting clothes and preventing bacterial growth. At the same time, there will be no dust or dirt on the bottom of the storage basket after long-term use; 2. The combination of the push-type lock and the torsion spring makes it convenient for users to open and close the cover. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
