Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of suspended platform technology, and in particular to a retractable and foldable suspended platform. Background Technology
[0002] A hanging basket, also known as a hanging chair, is a type of leisure furniture that is typically suspended in the air, providing a comfortable sitting or reclining experience. Hanging basket chairs come in a variety of designs, commonly made of materials such as rattan, wrought iron, and fabric, and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They usually have a semi-enclosed structure design, providing comfortable sitting postures at multiple angles, ideal for relaxation and rest.
[0003] Existing suspended platforms are mostly fixed structures, and their hemispherical shape means they cannot be folded up when not in use, still occupying a significant amount of space. This is especially problematic during transportation, as they require more packaging and shipping space, increasing both shipping and production costs. Therefore, we propose a retractable and foldable suspended platform to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology by proposing a retractable and foldable hanging basket.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a retractable folding basket is designed, including a support frame, which is a U-shaped frame with the opening facing horizontally, and two folding mechanisms are arranged opposite to each other inside the support frame, and the two folding mechanisms are rotatably connected.
[0006] The folding mechanism includes a support rod with an end bent into an "L" shape, an "L" shaped connecting rod connected to the end of the support rod, a "U" shaped mounting seat installed on the inner side of the connecting rod, and at least three spaced-apart bearing rods on the side of the support rod near the connecting rod. The ends of the bearing rods are bent into an "L" shape and correspond to the support rod, and the ends of the bearing rods are all connected to a first connecting seat. The first connecting seat is rotatably installed in the mounting seat via a rotating shaft.
[0007] Among them, a rotating seat is provided between the adjacent connecting rods of the two support rods, and a U-shaped seat is installed on both sides of the rotating seat. A second connecting seat is rotatably installed in the U-shaped seat through a rotating shaft, and the second connecting seat is fixed to the corresponding connecting rod.
[0008] Preferably, a seat cushion and a backrest are placed on the inner ends of both the support rod and the load-bearing rod.
[0009] Preferably, multiple high-strength ropes are installed between two adjacent support rods and between a support rod and its adjacent support rod.
[0010] Preferably, a covering layer is provided on the surface of both the support rod and the bearing rod, and the covering layer is rattan woven and wrapped around the corresponding surface of the support rod and the bearing rod.
[0011] Preferably, a connecting frame is provided at the top of the support rod. The connecting frame is a U-shaped frame with the opening facing downwards, and the end of the connecting frame is fixed to the support rod. A connector is provided on the connecting frame, and the other end of the connector is connected to a carabiner. The carabiner is installed on the hanging ring, and the hanging ring is fixed to the top of the support frame.
[0012] Preferably, the connector is one of manganese steel lifting chain, stainless steel chain, or mining chain.
[0013] Preferably, the support frame is a hollow metal tube, and multiple reinforcing ribs are installed on the inner wall of the support frame at intervals, with the reinforcing ribs arranged along the length of the support frame.
[0014] Preferably, the surface of the support frame is coated with a ceramic coating, and rattan is also wrapped around the surface of the support frame.
[0015] Preferably, four spaced-apart support legs, which are made of metal tubes, are installed at the bottom of the support frame.
[0016] The design scheme proposed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects in application:
[0017] 1. This retractable and foldable basket allows the load-bearing rod to be retracted as the support rod rotates, thus enabling the folding mechanism to be removed from the support frame for storage. This facilitates storage when not in use and loading during transportation, saving on transportation costs.
[0018] 2. The telescopic and foldable suspended platform uses strong ropes to connect the support rods and load-bearing rods, as well as adjacent load-bearing rods. When the folding mechanism is unfolded, force can be directly applied to the support rods, so that the rotation of the support rods drives the load-bearing rods to unfold outwards, which improves the convenience of using and installing the suspended platform.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 A retractable and foldable hanging basket includes a support frame 1, which is a U-shaped frame with a horizontally oriented opening. The support frame 1 is a hollow metal tube, which reduces the overall weight of the support frame 1, improves its lightweight nature, and makes it easier to transport. Multiple reinforcing ribs 15 are installed on the inner wall of the support frame 1 at intervals. The reinforcing ribs 15 are arranged along the length of the support frame 1, which improves the support strength of the support frame 1 while ensuring its lightweight nature.
[0027] The support frame 1 is coated with a ceramic coating to improve its corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and rattan is wrapped around its surface to enhance its overall aesthetics.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, four spaced-apart support legs 2 are installed at the bottom of the support frame 1. The support legs 2 are metal tubes that support the support frame 1.
[0029] Two opposing folding mechanisms are provided inside the support frame 1, and the two folding mechanisms are rotatably connected, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the folding mechanism includes a support rod 3 with an "L"-shaped bend at the end, an "L"-shaped connecting rod 4 connected to the end of the support rod 3, a "U"-shaped mounting seat 7 installed on the inner side of the connecting rod 4, and at least three spaced-apart bearing rods 8 on the side of the support rod 3 near the connecting rod 4. The ends of the bearing rods 8 are bent in an "L" shape and correspond to the support rod 3. Each end of the bearing rod 8 is connected to a first connecting seat 9. The first connecting seat 9 is rotatably installed in the mounting seat 7 via a pivot, allowing the bearing rods 8 to rotate on the side of the support rod 3 and all the bearing rods 8 to be rotated to one side and placed side by side, thereby realizing the storage operation of the bearing rods 8.
[0030] Among them, a rotating seat 5 is provided between the adjacent connecting rods 4 between the two support rods 3. A U-shaped seat 6 is installed on both sides of the rotating seat 5. A second connecting seat 16 is rotatably installed in the U-shaped seat 6 through a rotating shaft. The second connecting seat 16 is fixed to the corresponding connecting rod 4, so that the two support rods 3 can rotate relative to each other, thereby allowing the two support rods 3 to be merged and stored or unfolded outward.
[0031] Specifically, when it is necessary to store the support rod 3, the operator can hold the support rod 3 with their hand and rotate the support rod 3 toward the inside of the connecting rod 4. This allows the support rod 3 to gradually move closer together. When the two support rods 3 rotate relative to each other, the support rod 3 will contact the bearing rod 8, which will push the bearing rod 8 together, causing the bearing rod 8 to rotate as well. This allows the bearing rod 8 to be stored between the two combined support rods 3, making it convenient to store and place the entire folding mechanism.
[0032] When the support rod 3 is unfolded, multiple strong ropes 10 are installed between two adjacent support rods 8 and between the support rod 3 and its adjacent support rod 8. The operator can hold the support rod 3 and rotate it outward, which will cause the support rod 8 next to it to rotate together under the pull of the strong ropes 10, so that all the support rods 8 can be unfolded outward in sequence, which facilitates the overall unfolding of the folding mechanism.
[0033] After the folding mechanism is unfolded, cushions and backrests are placed on the inner ends of the support rod 3 and the bearing rod 8, so that the cushions and backrests can be placed on the support rod 3 and the bearing rod 8. In addition, the setting of the strong rope 10 also increases the support surface of the entire folding mechanism and improves the support effect of the basket.
[0034] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a connecting frame 11 is provided on the top of the support rod 3. The connecting frame 11 is a U-shaped frame with the opening facing downwards, and the end of the connecting frame 11 is fixed to the support rod 3. A connector 12 is provided on the connecting frame 11, and the other end of the connector 12 is connected to a carabiner 13. The carabiner 13 is installed on the lifting ring 14, and the lifting ring 14 is fixed on the top of the support frame 1, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the folding mechanism on the support frame 1. In actual use, the connector 12 is one of manganese steel lifting chain, stainless steel chain, or mining chain.
[0035] Furthermore, a covering layer is provided on the surface of the support rod 3 and the surface of the bearing rod 8. The covering layer is rattan woven and wrapped around the corresponding surface of the support rod 3 and the bearing rod 8, which improves the overall aesthetics of the hanging basket.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
