Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of plastic baskets, in particular to a folding basket side wall and a folding basket. Background Art

[0002] A basket is a component used to hold and transport items. Depending on the material used, baskets can be plastic, bamboo, or rattan. Plastic baskets are made entirely of plastic. They are typically rectangular and comprise sidewalls and a base, with the sidewalls mounted on the base.

[0003] In the prior art, foldable baskets have emerged for ease of use. Unlike conventional baskets, these have sidewalls that are rotatably mounted on a base, allowing them to fold together with the base. For example, application number 202023094232.8, titled "Smart and Eco-Friendly Folding Storage Basket," discloses a foldable basket.

[0004] However, the applicant discovered in practice that conventional folding baskets have some shortcomings. These shortcomings primarily manifest in the following: In the prior art, the sidewalls of the folding baskets are connected to the base via a connecting shaft, which is typically cylindrical. Because the cylindrical connecting shaft has a relatively smooth surface, it is easy for the connecting shaft to separate from the base. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a folding basket side wall and a folding basket, and aims to solve the problem that a cylindrical connecting shaft has been separated from a base.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a folding basket side wall, including a wall panel and at least two connecting structures, wherein the connecting structure is arranged on the wall panel; the connecting structure includes a connecting part and a connecting shaft, wherein the connecting part is connected to the wall panel, and the connecting shaft is installed on the connecting part, and the two ends of the connecting shaft protrude from the connecting part, and the cross-section of the connecting part is L-shaped.

[0007] In this solution, the cross-section of the connecting shaft is preferably set to be L-shaped. The L-shaped connecting shaft is obviously easier to adapt to the limiting structure on the base than the cylindrical connecting shaft. The connecting shaft can achieve a more stable connection with the base, solving the shortcomings of the cylindrical shaft in the prior art.

[0008] Preferably, since a connecting portion is provided, in order to ensure that the articles inside the foldable basket cannot leak out from the connecting portion, in this solution, the inner side of the connecting portion is preferably a plane.

[0009] In this solution, the inner side of the connecting portion is set to a flat surface, which can block the objects and thus solve the problem of object leakage. In addition, compared with other shapes, such as concave or convex surfaces, the flat surface has less interference with the outside.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting portion is for installation of the connecting shaft, and the connecting portion described in this solution is a connecting block.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting portion is for installation of the connecting shaft, and the connecting block in this solution may also be a connecting plate.

[0012] Preferably, in order to reduce the weight of the connecting portion so that the connecting portion does not cause a significant increase in the weight of the side wall of the folding basket, the present solution preferably configures the connecting block with a weight-reducing groove.

[0013] This solution provides a weight-reducing groove on the connecting block, which reduces the weight of the connecting block. When the weight of the connecting block is reduced, the total weight of the folding basket side wall is obviously reduced.

[0014] Preferably, in order to reduce the weight of the connecting portion so that the connecting portion does not cause a significant increase in the weight of the side wall of the folding basket, the interior of the connecting block of this solution may be hollow.

[0015] This solution makes the connecting block hollow, which is obviously lighter than a solid one. And because the connecting block is connected to the wall panel, the total weight of the entire folding basket side wall is reduced.

[0016] Preferably, since the connecting shaft needs to rotate, the folding of the side wall of the folding basket is achieved. In this solution, the bottom of the connecting shaft is arc-shaped.

[0017] In this solution, the bottom of the connecting shaft is arranged in an arc shape. When the connecting shaft is rotating, the arc-shaped bottom of the connecting shaft can play a guiding role, ensuring that the connecting shaft rotates more smoothly and the connecting shaft will not get stuck.

[0018] Preferably, in order to ensure that both sides of the wall panel can be stably connected to the base, the present solution preferably provides the connecting structure on both sides of the wall panel.

[0019] In this solution, the connection structures arranged on both sides of the wall panel can respectively achieve stable connection of the two sides of the wall panel, making the two sides of the wall panel more stable.

[0020] A second aspect of the present invention provides a folding basket, comprising a base and the above-mentioned folding basket side walls, wherein the base is configured with a connecting groove adapted to the connecting structure, and the connecting groove is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft.

[0021] In this solution, the base and the side walls are combined to form a foldable basket. At the same time, a connecting groove is constructed on the base to adapt to the connecting shaft, so as to realize the foldable connection between the base and the side walls and ensure that the side walls can be rotated and overlapped on the base.

[0022] Preferably, in order to solve the problem of the connecting groove and the connecting shaft being disengaged and to make the connecting shaft more stable, this solution configures a limiting structure at the entrance of the connecting groove, and the limiting structure is used to adapt to the connecting shaft so that the connecting shaft is confined inside the connecting groove.

[0023] This solution configures a limiting structure at the entrance of the connecting groove to block the "L"-shaped connecting axis. The connection between the base and the folding basket side wall is more stable and will not come off.

[0024] Preferably, in order to prevent the connecting portion from being blocked when the side wall of the folding basket rotates, the side surface of the connecting groove of this solution is configured with an accommodating notch, and the accommodating notch is used to accommodate the connecting portion.

[0025] In this solution, when the side wall of the folding basket rotates, the connecting portion can also rotate accordingly. When the connecting portion rotates, the connecting portion can be accommodated in the accommodating notch and will not be blocked, thereby ensuring that the folding basket will not be blocked or interfered with by the connecting portion.

[0026] Preferably, since the side walls of the folding basket can be rotated, in order to ensure that the side walls do not move or become misplaced during rotation, the base and side walls of the present invention are respectively provided with limiting protrusions and limiting grooves, and the limiting protrusions can be accommodated in the limiting grooves.

[0027] This solution features limiting protrusions and grooves on the base and sidewalls, respectively. When the folding basket's sidewalls rotate, the limiting protrusions remain contained within the grooves. The limiting protrusions and grooves cooperate to limit the base and sidewalls, thus preventing them from shifting or misaligning during rotation.

[0028] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that in this solution, the cross-section of the connecting shaft is preferably set to be L-shaped. The L-shaped connecting shaft is obviously easier to adapt to the limiting structure on the base than the cylindrical connecting shaft. The connecting shaft can achieve a more stable connection with the base, solving the shortcomings of the cylindrical shaft in the prior art. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, identical numbers in different drawings represent identical or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0037] It should be noted that all actions of obtaining signals, information or data in this application are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where they are located and with the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0038] In this disclosure, unless otherwise specified, directional terms such as "inner" and "outer" are defined based on the contours of the corresponding components. Terms such as "first" and "second" are used in this disclosure to distinguish one element from another and do not convey order or importance.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Basically as attached Figure 1 As shown, the side wall of the folding basket can be made of plastic material and is made by integral molding.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the foldable basket sidewall 1 of the disclosed embodiment includes a wall panel 11 and a connecting structure, which includes a connecting portion and a connecting shaft 13. The wall panel 11 is generally rectangular and can be configured as a square or rectangular shape depending on the usage scenario. The connecting portion is provided at the bottom of the bottom panel, and the connecting shaft 13 is further provided at the bottom of the connecting portion. The wall panel 11, connecting portion, and connecting shaft 13 are integrally formed.

[0042] like Figure 2As shown, the connecting portion in the disclosed embodiment is a connecting block 12, which is a rectangular block. To reduce the weight of the connecting block 12, the disclosed embodiment also provides a weight-reducing groove 121. The configuration of the weight-reducing groove 121 reduces the weight of the connecting block 12, preventing the connecting block 12 from significantly increasing the weight of the entire folding basket sidewall 1. Of course, in other embodiments, the interior of the connecting block 12 can be hollow, thereby also reducing the weight of the weight-reducing block.

[0043] In the disclosed embodiment, the weight-reducing groove 121 is disposed on the outside of the connection portion, so that the inner side of the connection block 12 is a completely flat surface. When the inner side of the connection block 12 is flat, it can prevent items from leaking out of the connection block 12. The inner side of the connection block 12 is the side facing the interior of the folding basket.

[0044] It is understood that the connection portion is configured as a connection block 12 in the disclosed embodiment. However, it is apparent that the connection portion may also be in other shapes. For example, the connection portion may be a rectangular connection plate, and the connection between the wall panel 11 and the connection shaft 13 may be achieved through the connection plate.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the connecting shaft 13 in the disclosed embodiment is an L-shaped shaft, that is, its cross-section is L-shaped. Compared to the conventional cylindrical shafts used in the prior art, the L-shaped shaft has a corner, which allows it to more stably adapt to the retaining structure. Compared with the cylindrical shafts used in the prior art, the L-shaped shaft can achieve a more stable connection, and the chance of the connecting shaft 13 being disengaged from the base is reduced.

[0046] In order to ensure that the "L"-shaped shaft does not get stuck during rotation, in the embodiment disclosed herein, the bottom of the "L"-shaped shaft is preferably set to be arc-shaped. The arc-shaped bottom of the "L"-shaped shaft can ensure that it rotates more smoothly and reduce the probability of the connecting shaft 13 getting stuck.

[0047] In order to ensure the connection stability of the folding basket side wall 1, as Figure 1 As shown, in the disclosed embodiment, at least two connecting structures are preferably provided at the bottom of the folding basket side wall 1. For example, the number of connecting structures may be two, three, four, or five. The at least two connecting structures provide a more stable connection for the folding basket side wall 1. Furthermore, in the disclosed embodiment, at least two connecting structures are preferably provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the wall panel 11. These connecting structures on the left and right sides ensure a more stable connection between the left and right sides of the folding basket side wall 1 during installation.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a folding basket is provided, comprising the folding basket sidewall 1 and the base 2 of embodiment 1. The folding basket sidewall 1 and the base 2 are combined to form the folding basket. Of course, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, four folding basket sidewalls 1 of embodiment 1 may be provided and connected to the base 2 to form a folding basket. However, it is also possible to provide one, two or three folding basket sidewalls 1 of embodiment 1, and then provide a conventional folding basket sidewall 1 in the prior art. The folding basket sidewall 1 of embodiment 1 and the conventional folding basket sidewall are adapted and connected to the base 2 to form a complete folding basket.

[0050] The connection state between the folding basket side wall 1 and the base 2 is as follows Figure 3 shown.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the folding basket base 2 in the disclosed embodiment includes a base body 21 and a connecting groove 22. The base body 21 is generally rectangular, and its specific shape can be set to a rectangle or square according to the needs of use. In the disclosed embodiment, a raised portion is provided on the edge of the base body 21, which is used to form the connecting groove 22. The connecting groove 22 can adapt to the connecting shaft 13, ensuring a stable connection between the folding basket side wall 1 and the bottom.

[0052] It should be noted that the locations of the connecting grooves 22 correspond one-to-one with the locations of the connecting shafts 13, thereby ensuring that the connecting grooves 22 can be connected to the connecting shafts 13 in a one-to-one manner. For example, when a folding basket sidewall 1 is provided, the connecting grooves 22 can be provided only on the side surface that matches the folding basket sidewall 1. Furthermore, when the folding basket sidewall 1 is provided with four connecting shafts 13, four corresponding connecting grooves 22 are also provided.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, in the disclosed embodiment, the connecting groove 22 is specifically a rectangular groove body, with the entrance of the rectangular groove body located at the top. That is, when the connecting groove 22 is mated with the connecting shaft 13, the connecting shaft 13 enters the connecting groove 22 from the top. Therefore, because the entrance of the connecting groove 22 is located above the connecting groove 22, even if there are items inside the foldable basket, the items are unlikely to enter the connecting groove 22, thus preventing items from getting stuck between the connecting shaft 13 and the connecting groove 22.

[0054] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in order to restrict the connecting shaft 13 inside the connecting groove 22 in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a limiting structure is provided at the mouth of the connecting groove 22. The limiting structure and the interior of the connecting groove 22 form an "L"-shaped space. The "L"-shaped space is adapted to the L-shaped connecting shaft 13, so that the connecting shaft 13 is restricted inside the connecting groove 22. The limiting structure in the embodiment of the present disclosure is specifically a limiting protrusion 221, which is provided on the inner wall of the connecting groove 22 and is specifically integrally formed with the inner wall. Preferably, there are two limiting protrusions 221, and the two limiting protrusions 221 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the entrance of the connecting groove 22. At the same time, an accommodating notch 222 is constructed between the left and right connecting grooves 22, and the accommodating notch 222 is rectangular. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the limiting protrusion 221 and the accommodating notch 222 are both located on the inner side of the connecting groove 22, and the inner side of the connecting groove 22 is the side direction toward the middle of the base body.

[0055] Take an application scenario as an example: when the connecting shaft 13 is accommodated in the connecting groove 22, the limiting protrusion 23 is located above the connecting shaft 13, and the connecting groove 22 can clamp the connecting shaft 13, thereby ensuring that the connecting shaft 13 will not disengage from the connecting groove 22.

[0056] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, to facilitate the insertion of the connecting shaft 13 into the connecting groove 22, a guide surface 221a is provided on the top of the limiting protrusion 23 in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The guide surface 221a is specifically an inclined surface, and the inclined surface faces the interior of the connecting groove 22. Therefore, when the connecting shaft 13 needs to be inserted into the connecting groove 22, the connecting shaft 13 is guided by the inclined surface to the entrance position of the connecting groove 22, and then the connecting shaft 13 can enter the connecting groove 22, making the installation of the connecting shaft 13 more convenient.

[0057] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to reduce weight in the disclosed embodiment, the inner bottom of the connecting groove 22 is directly connected to the outside world, thereby reducing the weight of the base body. In addition, if foreign matter enters the connecting groove 22, the foreign matter can be directly dropped out of the inner bottom of the connecting groove 22 to the outside world, further eliminating the problem of jamming caused by foreign matter.

[0058] When the inner bottom of the connecting groove 22 is connected to the outside world, the bottom of the connecting shaft 13 is not supported when the connecting shaft 13 is inside the connecting groove 22, and the connecting shaft 13 is easily misaligned within the connecting groove 22. To solve the above problem, the embodiment of the present disclosure preferably has a support portion 223 integrally formed inside the connecting groove 22. The support portion 223 is in the shape of a plate. Therefore, when the connecting shaft 13 is accommodated inside the connecting groove 22, the connecting shaft 13 is supported by the support portion 223, thereby ensuring that the position of the connecting shaft 13 is fixed and the connecting shaft 13 will not be misaligned.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, since the folding basket side wall 1 and the base 2 are hingedly connected, the folding basket side wall 1 can rotate relative to the base 2. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a limiting protrusion 23 is preferably provided on the base 2. The limiting protrusion 23 can be a circular arc-shaped protrusion or a protrusion of other shapes. At the same time, a limiting groove 14 is provided at the bottom of the folding basket side wall 1, and the limiting groove 14 can be a circular groove. The limiting groove 14 and the limiting protrusion 23 can cooperate with each other to limit. At the same time, in order to ensure a better limiting effect of the folding basket side wall 1, limiting grooves 14 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the folding basket side wall 1 in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Of course, limiting protrusions 23 that are adapted to the limiting grooves 14 on both sides are also provided on the base 2.

[0060] For example, when the folding basket sidewall 1 is mounted on the base 2, the limiting protrusion 23 is accommodated within the limiting groove 14. Furthermore, when the folding basket sidewall 1 rotates, the limiting protrusion 23 remains within the limiting groove 14. The limiting protrusion 23 and limiting groove 14 constrain the folding basket sidewall 1, preventing misalignment during rotation.

[0061] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention, and the commonly known specific structures and characteristics of the scheme are not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the present invention, and these should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention. These will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
