Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of logistics transportation containers, and specifically provides a base and a folding basket with a more stable structure. Background Art
[0002] Turnover baskets are commonly used in industrial production lines, for storage and stacking, and for loading fruits and vegetables in agriculture. To save space, foldable baskets have become increasingly popular. However, due to injection molding process issues and considerations of weight and cost reduction, the bases and folding supports of existing foldable baskets (referred to as folding baskets) are generally hollow. This makes the bases susceptible to damage due to stress during use. For example, when stacked, the lower baskets are subjected to pressure, which increases the probability of damage to their bases. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model provides a base and a folding basket with a more stable structure. By arranging a reinforcement structure on the base, the strength and load-bearing performance of the base are ensured, and the probability of damage is reduced.
[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:
[0005] A base with a more stable structure includes a base body, side walls are arranged on the base body, the side walls are used to install side baffles, upwardly protruding bosses are arranged at the connection between adjacent side walls, the tops of each boss are in the same plane, and the side walls are provided with reinforcement structures at positions corresponding to the bosses.
[0006] In this solution, bosses are provided to support the side panels or the base of the folding basket when stacked, concentrating the force on the bosses. Furthermore, reinforcement structures are provided on the sidewalls at the bosses, effectively increasing the base's strength and load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, because the bosses are located only at the intersection of the sidewalls, there's no need to thicken the entire sidewalls of the base, effectively improving the base's strength and maintaining the cost and overall weight of the base during injection molding.
[0007] Preferably, the reinforcement structure includes a grid groove provided on the side wall, and the grid groove is composed of staggered skeleton ribs.
[0008] This solution provides an optimal reinforcement structure, elevating the hollow sidewalls through ribbed support, effectively increasing the base's strength. The staggered ribbed support not only enhances the base's vertical load-bearing capacity, but also its longitudinal strength. The four corners of the base are also the most vulnerable points to collision during transport and handling. The reinforcement structure, located at the intersection of the sidewalls—the four corners of the base—also significantly improves the base's collision resistance, further extending its service life.
[0009] Preferably, the skeleton ribs in one direction of the grid grooves are arranged perpendicular to the bottom surface of the base body, thereby further improving the bearing capacity of the base in the vertical direction.
[0010] Preferably, the side walls are arranged adjacent to each other, one higher and one lower, and the boss is arranged on the higher side wall.
[0011] In this solution, side walls of different heights can avoid interference between the connected side baffles when folding, and the boss is set on the side wall on the higher side. Compared with setting it on the lower side, the protrusion height can be lower, the strength is higher, and the injection molding is simpler.
[0012] Preferably, a support platform is provided on the bottom surface of the base body, and the support platform is surrounded by a pad. Staggered support ribs are provided inside the support platform, and the bottom surface of the support ribs and the bottom surface of the pad are on the same horizontal plane.
[0013] Although existing bases have foot pads at the bottom, they are generally injection-molded together with the base and are only located at the four corners. Furthermore, the foot pads are hollow, causing wear and tear over time. This solution, however, incorporates an additional support platform enclosed by a pad. This creates a step between the support platform and the bottom surface of the base, further facilitating overlap. Furthermore, the support ribs are staggered across the support platform, strengthening the lower surface of the base while also eliminating the risk of damage or instability from wear and tear. This significantly increases the base's service life.
[0014] Preferably, at least one limiting block is provided on the side wall, and the height of the limiting block is less than or equal to the height of the boss.
[0015] In this solution, a stopper is provided. When the folding baskets are stacked, the support platform on the bottom surface of the base is restrained by the stopper, effectively preventing the bases from sliding when stacked. Furthermore, when the folding baskets are unfolded and stacked, the raised platform directly supports the bottom surface of the upper base. If the stopper is too high, it will easily interfere and damage the stopper.
[0016] Preferably, the height of the boss is less than or equal to the height of the pad.
[0017] In this solution, when the storage basket is folded and stacked, the support platform on the bottom can be placed directly on the folded side baffle, so that the base has a larger support area.
[0018] A folding basket comprises the above-mentioned base with a more stable structure and the side baffles, which are rotatably connected to the side walls.
[0019] In this solution, the foldable basket with a reinforced base structure offers greater load-bearing capacity and a longer service life. The base provides excellent support when stacking or folding, and the reinforced structure significantly enhances the basket's robustness without compromising the injection molding process, manufacturing cost, or weight.
[0020] Preferably, when the foldable basket is unfolded, the bottom of the side baffle contacts the boss.
[0021] In this solution, the folding basket is stacked when it is unfolded to store items. Since the upper surface of the basket is the basket mouth, the support platform on the base can only be suspended in the air, and the part that supports the folding basket above and is subjected to force is the side baffle. When the side baffle is unfolded and receives downward pressure, the boss plays a supporting role, effectively avoiding damage to the connection between the side baffle and the side wall. At the same time, a reinforcement structure is set on the side wall at the boss, which further improves the strength of the base.
[0022] Preferably, reinforcement frames are provided on both the front and back sides of the side baffles, and the reinforcement frames are arranged in a staggered manner.
[0023] In this solution, since the side baffles are subjected to force when the folding basket is stacked, the side baffles are subjected to force in the thickness direction when stored and force in the height direction when unfolded, their strength can be further improved by providing a reinforcing frame on the surface of the side baffles.
[0024] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0025] The utility model is provided with a reinforcement structure on the base, so that when the folding basket is stacked, whether it is for stacking or folding for storage, the base can play a good supporting role, and the design of the reinforcement structure does not affect the injection molding process, manufacturing cost and weight. Compared with the existing folding basket, the sturdiness of the folding basket is greatly improved, the load-bearing capacity is better, and the service life is longer.

[0035] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the technical solution of the present invention is clearly and completely described through the specific implementation of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0036] Example 1:
[0037] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a specific folding basket base with a reinforcement structure 13, including a base body 1, on which side walls 11 of different heights are provided, and the side walls 11 are used to install side baffles 2, and upwardly protruding bosses 12 are provided at the connection between the side walls 11, and the tops of the bosses 12 are all in the same plane, and the side walls 11 are provided with a reinforcement structure 13 at the position of the bosses 12.
[0038] Specifically, a boss 12 is provided to support the side panels 2 or the base of the folding basket above when stacked, concentrating the force on the boss 12. Furthermore, a reinforcement structure 13 is provided on the sidewalls 11 at the location of the boss 12, effectively increasing the strength and load-bearing capacity of the base. Furthermore, because the boss 12 is located only at the intersection of the sidewalls 11, the entire sidewall 11 of the base body 1 does not need to be thickened, effectively improving the strength of the base body 1 without affecting the cost and overall weight of the base body 1 during injection molding.
[0039] Furthermore, the reinforcement structure 13 includes a grid groove provided on the side wall 11 , and the grid groove is composed of staggered skeleton ribs 131 .
[0040] Specifically, a preferred reinforcement structure 13 is provided. Ribs 131 are used to support and elevate the sidewalls 11, which should otherwise be hollow structures. This effectively increases the base's strength. The staggered ribs 131 not only enhance the vertical load-bearing capacity of the base body 1, but also its longitudinal strength. The four corners of the base are also the most vulnerable points to collision during transport and handling. The reinforcement structures, located at the intersections of the sidewalls 11, i.e., the four corners of the base body 1, also significantly enhance the base's collision resistance, further increasing its service life.
[0041] Furthermore, the skeleton ribs 131 in one direction of the grid grooves are arranged perpendicular to the bottom surface of the base, thereby further improving the bearing capacity of the base in the vertical direction.
[0042] It should be noted that the base of the present invention is directly injection molded by an injection molding process, and the grid grooves on the reinforcement structure 13 can be directly formed during the injection molding process, or can be added later.
[0043] Furthermore, the bosses 12 are provided on the higher two side walls 11 .
[0044] Specifically, the boss 12 plays a supporting role, and due to the one-piece injection molding process, the boss 12 is arranged on the higher side wall 11, which can effectively reduce the difficulty and cost of injection molding and also make the boss have higher strength.
[0045] Example 2:
[0046] Based on the first embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a reinforcement structure 13 on the bottom surface of the base body 1.
[0047] A support platform 14 is provided on the bottom surface of the base body 1. The support platform 14 is surrounded by a pad 141. Staggered support ribs 142 are provided inside the support platform 14. The bottom surface of the support rib 142 is on the same horizontal plane as the bottom surface of the pad 141.
[0048] Specifically, although existing base bodies 1 also have foot pad structures at the bottom, they are generally injection-molded together with the base body 1 and are only provided at the four corners of the bottom. Furthermore, the foot pad structures are hollow structures, which can easily wear out after prolonged use of the folding basket, and the foot pads are also easily damaged. In this solution, an additional support platform 14 is provided, which is enclosed by a pad 141. This creates a step between the support platform 14 and the bottom surface of the base body 1, further facilitating the overlap of the bases. Furthermore, support ribs 142 are staggered throughout the support platforms 14, making the lower surface of the base body 1 stronger while also eliminating the worry of damage to the base or instability after wear of the support platforms 14, greatly extending the base's service life.
[0049] Similarly, the base of the present invention is directly injection molded by the injection molding process, and the support platform 14 can be directly formed during injection molding, or can be added later. It is preferably formed directly during injection molding, and the pad 141 and the support rib 142 are solidly filled.
[0050] Furthermore, at least one limiting block 15 is provided on the side wall 11 , and the height of the limiting block 15 is less than or equal to the height of the boss 12 .
[0051] Specifically, a stopper 15 is provided. When the foldable baskets are stacked, the support platform 14 on the bottom surface of the base is restrained by the stopper 15, effectively preventing the bases from sliding when stacked. Furthermore, when the foldable baskets are unfolded and stacked, the boss 12 directly supports the bottom surface of the upper base body 1. If the stopper 15 is too high, it will easily interfere and damage the stopper 15.
[0052] Furthermore, the height of the boss 12 is less than or equal to the height of the pad 141 .
[0053] Specifically, when the storage basket is folded and stacked, the support platform 14 on the bottom surface can be directly placed on the folded side baffle 2, so that the base has a larger support area.
[0054] Example 3:
[0055] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment provides a folding basket, including a base with a more stable structure provided in the above embodiment 1 and / or embodiment 2.
[0056] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the side baffle 2 is also included, and the side baffle 2 is rotatably connected to the side wall 11.
[0057] Specifically, a folding basket with a base having a reinforcement structure 13 has a greater load-bearing capacity and a longer service life. The base provides excellent support when stacking, whether for stacking or folding. Furthermore, the reinforcement structure 13 significantly increases the sturdiness of the folding basket without affecting the injection molding process, manufacturing cost, or weight.
[0058] Furthermore, when the foldable basket is unfolded, the bottom of the side baffle 2 contacts the boss 12 .
[0059] Specifically, when the folding basket is unfolded to store items, they are stacked. Since the upper surface of the basket is the basket mouth, the support platform 14 on the base can only be suspended in the air, and the part that supports the upper folding basket and is subjected to force is the side baffle 2. When the side baffle 2 is unfolded and receives downward pressure, the boss 12 plays a supporting role, effectively avoiding damage to the connection between the side baffle 2 and the side wall 11. At the same time, a reinforcement structure 13 is provided on the side wall 11 at the boss 12, which further improves the strength of the base.
[0060] Furthermore, the front and back sides of the side baffle 2 are provided with reinforcement frames 21, and the reinforcement frames 21 are arranged in a staggered manner.
[0061] Specifically, since the side baffles 2 are subjected to force when the folding basket is stacked, the side baffles 2 are subjected to force in the thickness direction when stored and to force in the height direction when unfolded, the strength of the side baffles 2 is further improved by providing a reinforcing frame 21 on the surface of the side baffles 2.
[0062] It should be noted that the side baffle 2 of the present invention is directly injection molded by the injection molding process. The reinforcing frame 21 on the side baffle 2 can be directly formed during injection molding or added later. It is preferably formed directly during injection molding, and the reinforcing frame 21 is solidly filled.
[0063] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such changes and improvements fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
