Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turnover basket technology, and specifically provides a side panel and turnover basket that are easy to fold. Background Art

[0002] Turnover baskets can be used to move goods, such as rotating parts in a factory or vegetables in a market. They are usually made of plastic, a lightweight material that can be widely used to move various items. However, plastic baskets are bulky and inconvenient to store when not in use. Folding baskets can reduce their size by folding. A folding basket typically consists of a base and four side panels, which are hinged to the base. When folding is needed, the side panels fold inwards, eventually overlapping the base, reducing the height and volume of the basket, making it easier to store when not in use.

[0003] However, when the folding basket is in use, all four side panels need to be vertical and connected to each other. In existing technology, adjacent side panels are typically fixed using fasteners such as pins. Connecting the side panels with fasteners requires individual user operation; since connecting all four side panels requires fasteners for every two adjacent panels, this necessitates four separate operations. Clearly, this connection method is cumbersome and inefficient, requiring a solution. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a side panel and turnover basket that are easy to fold, in order to solve the problems of cumbersome operation and low efficiency of side panel connection in the folding basket.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] The foldable side panel and turnover basket include a panel body and an elastically deformable first constraint part, which is disposed on both sides of the panel body and the first constraint part clamps the adjacent side panel by deformation.

[0007] In this design, during the connection process between the first constraint part and the adjacent side plate, the first constraint part can be deformed to engage with the adjacent side plate, thus connecting the two side plates. During the connection process, the user only needs to tap the side plate to ensure sufficient force for deformation of the first constraint part, making the side plate fixing operation simple and efficient.

[0008] Preferably, the first constraint part is provided with a guide surface.

[0009] In this solution, setting a guide surface can make the deformation of the first constraint part smoother and reduce the difficulty of connecting the side plates.

[0010] Preferably, it includes two guide surfaces, which are respectively disposed on the front and rear sides of the first constraint part.

[0011] In this design, guide surfaces are provided on both the front and rear sides of the first constraint part, which facilitates both installation and disassembly.

[0012] Preferably, the side plate further includes a support portion, the first constraint portion is connected to the support portion, and the support portion is connected to the plate body.

[0013] In this design, the first constraint part is connected to the side plate through the support part. The support part increases the distance between the first constraint part and the side plate, making the first constraint part easier to deform.

[0014] Preferably, in the left-right direction of the plate, there is a gap between the first constraint part and the plate.

[0015] In this design, since there is a gap between the first constraint part and the plate in the left and right directions, the first constraint part will not be resisted in the left and right directions when it is displaced, making it easier for the first constraint part to move.

[0016] The support portion is connected to the top surface of the first constraint portion, and the contact area between the support portion and the first constraint portion is smaller than the area of ​​the top surface of the first constraint portion, so that the top surface of the first constraint portion includes an unsupported area; or, the support portion is connected to the bottom surface of the first constraint portion, and the contact area between the support portion and the first constraint portion is smaller than the area of ​​the bottom surface of the first constraint portion, so that the bottom surface of the first constraint portion includes an unsupported area.

[0017] In this design, the first constraint part includes an unsupported area. Therefore, the first constraint part is more likely to deform under stress, reducing the difficulty of deformation.

[0018] When the first constraint part is displaced, the support part will be subjected to a force from the first constraint part, and the support part will deform under the force. In order to solve the problem that the support part is easily damaged when deformed, the support part includes a first support plate and a second support plate. The first support plate and the second support plate are respectively vertically arranged and intersect.

[0019] In this design, both the first and second support plates are vertically arranged and intersect. The second support plate acts as a reinforcing rib on the side of the first support plate. The combination of the first and second support plates increases strength and prevents damage to the support structure during deformation.

[0020] Preferably, the second constraint part includes a constraint groove, which forms an opening on the left and right sides of the plate. The constraint groove has different widths along the horizontal direction, and the opening width is less than the maximum width of the constraint groove.

[0021] In this design, the second constraint part is a constraint groove, which is formed within the plate and is simple to shape and easy to process. When other side plates are connected to the constraint groove, if the other side plates need to rotate, they will move left or right relative to the plate. At this time, because the opening width is less than the maximum width of the constraint groove, the other side plates cannot move out of the constraint groove from the opening direction when they move. Due to the constraint effect of the opening, the other side plates cannot move left or right, which can prevent adjacent side plates from swinging.

[0022] Preferably, the side plate includes at least two second constraint portions.

[0023] In this scheme, increasing the number of second constraint parts can improve the stability of the constraint effect.

[0024] This utility model provides a turnover basket, which includes the aforementioned side panel.

[0025] The aforementioned side panels, used as the side panels of the turnover basket, can prevent the turnover basket from rotating outward during use.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] The side panel of this invention is provided with a first constraint part, which is elastically deformable. Therefore, the deformation of the first constraint part enables the rapid connection of adjacent side panels, allowing two adjacent side panels to be fastened together. During the connection process, only external force is needed to tap the side panel, making the operation simple and efficient. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a foldable side panel, including a panel 1, a second constraint part 3, and an elastically deformable first constraint part 2. The first constraint part 2 constrains the panel 1 from the front-to-back direction, while the second constraint part 3 constrains the panel 1 from the left-to-right direction. The first constraint part 2 and the second constraint part 3 are respectively used to connect with other side panels. When the first constraint part 2 is connected to other side panels, the interaction force between the other side panels and the first constraint part 2 can prevent the side panel containing the first constraint part 2 from rotating forward or backward. When the second constraint part 3 is connected to other side panels, if the other side panels want to move in the left-to-right direction, they will also be subject to the force from the second constraint part 3, which can prevent adjacent side panels from rotating in the left-to-right direction.

[0038] It should be noted that in this first embodiment, the front, back, left and right directions are based on the plate 1 with the first constraint part 2 and the second constraint part 3. The direction perpendicular to the plate 1 is the front and back direction, and the direction perpendicular to the two vertical sides of the plate 1 is the left and right direction.

[0039] The first constraint part 2 includes constraint blocks, which are disposed on two sides of the plate 1 in the left-right direction. Figure 4 As shown, when connecting with other side panels, positioning grooves 5 are provided at corresponding positions on the other side panels. The openings of the positioning grooves 5 face the front-to-back direction, and a stop block 6 is provided at the opening of the positioning groove 5. The bottom height of the stop block 6 is lower than the top height of the constraint block. When the positioning groove 5 connects with the constraint block, the stop block 6 will deform upwards, allowing the constraint block to enter the positioning groove 5; or, the constraint block will deform downwards, allowing the constraint block to enter the positioning groove 5; or, the stop block 6 and the constraint block will deform simultaneously, with the stop block 6 deforming upwards and the constraint block deforming downwards, allowing the constraint block to enter the positioning groove 5.

[0040] It should be noted that the first constraint part 2 or the stop block 6 is made of elastically deformable plastic. When the two side plates are connected, the first constraint part 2 and the stop block 6 are brought closer to each other by external force. The external force causes the first constraint part 2 and the stop block 6 to squeeze each other, thereby causing the first constraint part 2 or the stop block 6 to undergo elastic deformation, and finally causing the first constraint part 2 to be inserted into the positioning groove 5.

[0041] After the first constraint part 2 enters the positioning groove 5, its front and rear sides abut against the bottom of the positioning groove 5 and the inner side of the stop block 6, respectively. At this time, if the side plate containing the first constraint part 2 wants to move forward or backward, it will be blocked by the bottom of the positioning groove 5 or the stop block 6. Therefore, the first constraint part 2 can cooperate with other side plates to constrain the side plate from the front-rear direction, preventing the side plate from moving forward or backward.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, guide surfaces are provided on the front and rear sides of the first constraint part 2, and the positions of the guide surfaces correspond to the positions of the stop block 6. When the stop block 6 approaches and abuts against the first constraint part 2, the stop block 6 abuts against the guide surfaces. From the front and rear sides towards the center of the first constraint part 2, the guide surfaces are all inclined upwards to guide the stop block 6 to deform upwards. Under the action of the guide surfaces, the stop block 6 can gradually deform, instead of directly abutting against a vertical side. Under the guidance of the guide surfaces, the deformation of the stop block 6 is easier.

[0043] The reason for setting guide surfaces on the front and rear sides of the first constraint part 2 is that when the two sides separate, the stop block 6 will contact the guide surface first, making the stop block 6 easier to deform and reducing the difficulty of separating the two side plates.

[0044] The guide surface can be a curved surface or a flat plane. It should be noted that, here, "flat plane" refers to the smoothness of the guide surface.

[0045] The side panel has a first constraint part 2 on each of its left and right sides, and a notch at the top of each of its left and right sides. The notch is a right angle and includes a vertical surface and a horizontal surface, wherein the first constraint part 2 is connected to the horizontal surface of the notch. The purpose of placing the first constraint part 2 at the notch is to prevent it from forming a protrusion on the side of the side panel, thus keeping the side of the side panel flat overall.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the first constraint part 2 is connected to the horizontal plane of the notch via a support part 4. The top of the support part 4 is connected to the first constraint part 2, and the bottom of the support part 4 is connected to the horizontal plane of the notch. The support part 4 increases the distance between the first constraint part 2 and the horizontal plane of the notch. When the first constraint part 2 deforms, the support part 4 can also deform to a certain extent, thereby increasing the deformation and reducing the installation difficulty of the first constraint part 2 and the mounting groove.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the support part 4 consists of a first support plate 41 and a second support plate 42, both of which are vertically arranged. One side plate of the second support plate 42 is connected to the middle of the first support plate 41. In the top view, the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 form a T-shape. The angle between the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 can be a right angle or an acute angle. Preferably, the first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 are perpendicular to each other, which facilitates the draft molding of plastic.

[0048] The first support plate 41 and the second support plate 42 form a T-shape, while the surface where the first constraint part 2 contacts the support part 4 is rectangular. A portion of the area of ​​the first constraint part 2 does not contact the support part 4, forming an unsupported area. When the support part 4 is located on the bottom surface of the first constraint part 2, the guide surface is located on the upper side of the first constraint part 2. At this time, the guide surface is subjected to force, causing the first constraint part 2 to deform downwards. Since there is no supporting structure on the lower side of the unsupported area, it is more prone to deformation.

[0049] Similarly, when the support part 4 is located on the upper side of the first constraint part 2, the guide surface is located on the lower side of the first constraint part 2.

[0050] There is a gap between the first constraint part 2 and the vertical surface of the notch. That is, the first constraint part 2 is not connected to the vertical surface of the notch, thus avoiding resistance from the plate 1 when the constraint part deforms.

[0051] The second constraint part 3 is used to constrain the plate 1 from the left and right directions. That is, the plate 1 can exert a force on the other side plates in the left and right directions through the second constraint part 3.

[0052] The second constraint part 3 includes a constraint groove, wherein the constraint groove forms an opening on the side of the plate 1, and the top of the constraint groove penetrates the front side of the plate 1. When other side plates are connected to the second constraint part 3, they need to be connected to the constraint groove through a connecting part. The connecting part enters the constraint groove from the front side of the plate 1. At this time, part of the connecting part is located in the constraint groove, and the other part passes through the opening and connects to another side plate.

[0053] Along the left-right direction, the width of the constraint groove can vary at different points. For example, if the constraint groove is a dovetail groove, the opening width is the smallest, and the connecting part cannot move from the opening to outside the constraint groove. Another example is a T-groove constraint groove and a T-shaped connecting block, where the narrower end of the T-groove is the opening.

[0054] When the second constraint part 3 is connected to other side plates, the second constraint part 3 and other side plates do not need to deform. Therefore, multiple second constraint parts 3 can be provided, and providing multiple second constraint parts 3 will not increase the connection difficulty.

[0055] After the first constraint part 2 is connected to the other side plates, the first constraint part 2 also has a locking effect. Therefore, the first constraint part 2 is provided on the upper side of each second constraint part 3 to prevent the second constraint part 3 from loosening.

[0056] Example 2:

[0057] This second embodiment provides a turnover basket, including the side plate described in the first embodiment, which is provided with a first constraint part 2 and a second constraint part 3.

[0058] The turnover basket also includes a bottom plate, and the side plate described in Embodiment 1 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate, for example, by hinge.

[0059] Side plates with a first constraint part 2 and a second constraint part 3 are respectively disposed on the front and rear sides of the turnover basket, while the left and right sides of the turnover basket are respectively provided with positioning grooves 5 and connecting blocks. The first constraint part 2 is connected to the positioning grooves 5, which prevents the side plates in the front-rear direction from rotating in the front-rear direction. The second constraint part 3 is connected to the connecting blocks, which prevents the side plates in the left-right direction from rotating in the left-right direction, ensuring that the side plate positions of the turnover basket remain stable during use.
