The tension rib 31 includes a first horizontal rib segment 311 and two second horizontal rib segments 312. The two second horizontal rib segments 312 are located at both ends of the first horizontal rib segment 311. The two ends of the first horizontal rib segment 311 are also provided with oblique rib segments 313. The first horizontal rib segment 311 is connected to the second horizontal rib segment 312 through the oblique rib segments 313. The first horizontal rib segment 311 and the oblique rib segments 313 form a "U" shaped structure. The first horizontal rib segment 311 and the second horizontal rib segment 312 are arranged in parallel. The height of the first horizontal rib segment 311 is lower than the height of the second horizontal rib segment 312.

[0035] Please see Figure 4 The figure shows a top view of the handle of this application. The handle 2 includes a tension portion 201 and two folded edges 202. The two folded edges 202 are located at both ends of the tension portion 201, and the folded edges 202 are bent relative to the tension portion 201. The two folded edges 202 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the tension portion 201. The tension rib 31 matches the tension portion 201, and the two folded edges 32 match the two folded edges 202 respectively. The tension portion 201 covers the tension rib 31, and the folded edges 202 cover the folded edges 32. Preferably, the folded edges 202 and the folded edges 32 cooperate to prevent the handle 2 installed on the basket 1 from swaying laterally. The end of the handle 2 is located at the connection between the folded edges 32 and the side rib 33, and the end of the tension portion 201 is located at the connection between the tension rib 31 and the folded edges 32.

[0036] Please see Figure 5The figure shows a top view of the handle of this application and a cross-sectional view along the BB direction. The handle 2 is provided with a receiving groove 21. Specifically, the cross-section of the handle 2 is U-shaped. Further, a limiting plate 22 and a snap-fit ​​plate 23 are provided in the receiving groove 21. The limiting plate 22 is provided with a limiting groove 221 with its opening facing downward. The limiting groove 221 matches the tension rib 31, and the limiting groove 221 is positioned on the limiting plate 22 closer to the front side of the handle 2. Specifically, the rear side of the handle 2 refers to the part of the handle 2 inside the basket 1, and the front side of the handle 2 refers to... The handle 2 is located outside the basket 1. The upper part of the handle 2 refers to the part of the handle 2 above the tension rib 31. One end of the buckle plate 23 is connected to the handle 2, and the other end of the buckle plate 23 extends downward and forms a bent portion 231, which bends towards the front of the handle 2. The limiting groove 221 cooperates with the bent portion 231 to limit the first horizontal rib segment 311. Furthermore, the limiting groove 221 cooperates with the bent portion 231 to install the handle 2 onto the frame 3. Specifically, the tension rib 31 is located within the limiting groove 221, enabling... To prevent the handle 2 from wobbling back and forth, the folded edge rib 32 cooperates with the bent portion 231 to prevent the handle 2 from wobbling left and right. The tension rib 31 is limited by the buckle plate 23 and is located between the limiting groove 221 and the bent portion 231 to prevent the handle 2 from wobbling up and down. More importantly, if the bent portion 231 is too close to the upper side of the handle 2, the elastic deformation capacity of the buckle plate 23 will be poor. When the tension rib 31 is engaged or disengaged from the handle 2, the connecting end of the buckle plate 23 and the stress point of elastic deformation are prone to breakage. Therefore, it can be seen that the buckle plate 23 has elasticity. Regarding the requirement for deformation capacity, it is preferable that, in this embodiment, the structure of the limiting groove 221 and the snap-on plate 23 matches the structure of the tension rib 31 mentioned above. Specifically, the bent part 231 has a certain distance from the upper side of the handle 2, and the limiting groove 221 also has a certain distance from the upper side of the handle 2. The limiting plate 22 and the snap-on plate 23 cooperate to make the first horizontal rib segment 311 located in the limiting groove 221 and limited by the snap-on plate 23. The advantage of this solution is that the connecting end of the snap-on plate 23 and the stress position of elastic deformation are not prone to breakage.

[0037] Preferably, in this embodiment, the receiving groove 21 is further provided with a reinforcing rib 25, which is plate-shaped; the reinforcing rib 25 is connected to the handle 2. Specifically, the upper side of the handle 2 is connected to the reinforcing rib 25, and the rear side of the handle 2 is also connected to the reinforcing rib 25. The reinforcing rib 25 is connected to the buckle plate 23. The reinforcing rib 25 is connected to the side of the buckle plate 23 away from the tension rib 31. The reinforcing rib 25 is used to increase the structural strength of the connection between the buckle plate 23 and the handle 2, and to prevent the connection between the buckle plate 23 and the handle 2 from breaking.

[0038] Preferably, in this embodiment, the handle 2, the limiting plate 22, and the buckle plate 23 are integrally formed.

[0039] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The figures show a perspective view of the handle and an enlarged view of point C in the perspective view of the handle. The handle 2 has downward-facing locking grooves 24 at both ends. The locking grooves 24 are located at the folded edge 202 of the handle 2. The connecting ends of the folded edge rib 32 and the side rib 33 are limited within the locking grooves 24. Further, the locking grooves 24 include a guide part 241 and a constraint part 242. The guide part 241 and the constraint part 242 are interconnected. Specifically, the guide part 241 has a funnel-shaped structure. The narrow end of the guide part 241 is set towards the constraint groove. The guide part 241 is used to guide the second horizontal rib segment 312 to slide into the locking groove 24. The height of the second horizontal rib segment 312 matches the constraint part 242, and the cross-section of the constraint part 242 matches the cross-section of the folded edge rib 32.

[0040] Please see Figure 8 The figures shown are perspective views of the handle of this application. The handle 2 is also provided with a decorative plate 26 and a mounting groove 27. The decorative plate 26 is installed on the outer surface of the front side of the handle 2. The decorative plate 26 is provided with a bent foot 261.
