Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household goods technology, and in particular to a storage basket that is easy to stack. Background Technology

[0002] Storage boxes used for temporary clothing storage are generally quite large and take up a lot of indoor space. There are foldable storage boxes available, but when the storage box is folded, some parts overlap. Not only do these parts stick out and pose a risk of injury from impact, but if the storage box is subjected to pressure after folding, the overlapping parts may be damaged due to excessive local stress. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a storage box with higher folding flatness.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a stackable storage basket comprising a storage board, the sides of which have several pairs of forward-extending limiting side plates. Two of the limiting side plates in each pair are of equal height, and the spacing between the upper pair of limiting side plates is greater than the spacing between the lower pair of limiting side plates. Each pair of limiting side plates is rotatably connected to a movable railing. Each movable railing includes a crossbeam, with longitudinal beams extending in the same direction at both ends. The ends of the longitudinal beams are rotatably connected to the limiting side plates. A base plate is fixedly connected between the two longitudinal beams of the lowermost movable railing. All the crossbeams are rotatably connected to a linkage plate. The front of the storage board has a receiving cavity. The base plate, linkage plate, and all the movable railings are adapted to rotate simultaneously into the receiving cavity. The bottom of the storage board has a support plate adapted to restrict the base plate to a horizontal position, thereby maintaining the unfolded state of the storage basket.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment, the longitudinal beams of all the movable railings are of equal length, and the crossbeams of the movable railings increase in length from bottom to top, so that the movable railings will not overlap each other when folded.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, each of the paired limiting side plates has a centrally aligned shaft hole, and the ends of the two longitudinal beams of each movable railing are bent in opposite directions to form an end shaft, which is suitable for engaging with the shaft hole to form a rotating pair, thereby achieving folding by rotation.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the front of the linkage plate has a number of snap-fit ​​bushings, the number of which is equal to the number of crossbeams. The spacing between the snap-fit ​​bushings corresponds to the spacing between the crossbeams when all the longitudinal beams are horizontal. Each crossbeam is adapted to cooperate with one snap-fit ​​bushing to form a rotating pair, ensuring that all movable railings move synchronously.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the storage panel includes a back panel, and the front of the back panel also has an outwardly extending side panel located between the downwardly adjacent limiting side panels. The front of the outwardly extending side panel has a rearwardly extending clearance groove, which is suitable for fitting with the longitudinal beam to avoid movement interference during folding.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the accommodating cavity is formed by the limiting side plate and the expanding side plate on the front of the back plate, and all moving parts are located within the accommodating cavity after folding.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the bottom support plate has several evenly arranged drainage holes, and the bottom support plate also has a fitting groove, which is suitable for the limiting side plate and the outward expansion side plate to pass through, also to avoid interference between the bottom support plate and the protruding structure on the front of the back plate during the folding process.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the back panel has hanging holes and hand slots near the top, and the linkage plate has convection holes to ensure the permeability of the storage basket and prevent water accumulation and stuffiness that could cause the stored clothes to smell bad.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0013] (1) By designing a movable railing structure with gradually changing size and connecting it with a raised side panel structure on the front of the back panel, the movable railings will not overlap each other after the storage frame is folded, causing individual parts to protrude. The storage frame is flatter after folding, occupies less space, has a lower probability of being hit by protruding parts, and is safer to store.

[0014] (2) Since the only component being stacked is the flat linkage plate, the force will be more even after folding, effectively avoiding component damage caused by stress concentration. Therefore, the storage basket will have a longer service life and more stable operation. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0027] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the directional terms such as "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. They should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this application.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0029] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or device.

[0030] like Figure 1-10 The stackable storage basket shown includes a storage board 1 that can be flush against a wall. The side of the storage board 1 has several pairs of forward-extending limiting side plates 106. The two limiting side plates 106 in each pair are of equal height, and all pairs of limiting side plates 106 are symmetrical about the same vertical plane. The spacing between the upper pairs of limiting side plates 106 is always greater than the spacing between the lower pairs of limiting side plates 106. Therefore, the protruding structure formed by the limiting side plates 106 is inverted conical. Each pair of limiting side plates 106 is rotatably connected to a movable railing 2. Each movable railing 2 includes a horizontal beam 201 that always extends in the horizontal direction. The two ends of the horizontal beam 201 have longitudinal beams 202 that extend in the same direction. The extension direction of the longitudinal beams 202 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the horizontal beams 201. The length of the longitudinal beams 202 of all movable railings 2 is equal, while the length of the horizontal beams 201 of the movable railings 2 increases sequentially from bottom to top, also forming an inverted conical shape.

[0031] The ends of the longitudinal beams 202 are rotatably connected to the limiting side plates 106. In order to achieve the rotatable connection, the pair of limiting side plates 106 need to be provided with center-aligned shaft holes 107. The ends of the two longitudinal beams 202 of each movable railing 2 are bent in opposite directions to form end shafts 203. The axial direction of the end shafts 203 is parallel to the extension direction of the crossbeams 201, and they are inserted into the shaft holes 107 to form a rotating pair.

[0032] All the crossbeams 201 are rotatably connected to the linkage plate 4. In fact, the front of the linkage plate 4 has several snap-fit ​​bushings 402, and the number of snap-fit ​​bushings 402 is equal to the number of crossbeams 201. The spacing between the snap-fit ​​bushings 402 corresponds to the spacing between the crossbeams 201 when all the longitudinal beams 202 are in a horizontal state. Therefore, each crossbeam 201 can cooperate with a snap-fit ​​bushing 402 to form a rotating pair. Moreover, all the longitudinal beams 202 will remain parallel when rotating. The linkage plate 4 is provided with convection holes 401, which are located between the snap-fit ​​bushings 402.

[0033] The front of the storage plate 1 has a receiving cavity 105. The bottom support plate 3, the linkage plate 4, and all the movable railings 2 can be rotated into the receiving cavity 105 at the same time, thereby achieving a very flat fold. The main body of the storage plate 1 is the back plate 101. The back plate 101 has a hanging hole 102 and a hand slot 103 near the top. There are two hanging holes 102, which are located near the left and right sides of the back plate 101, respectively, while the hand slot 103 is located between the hanging holes 102. The front of the back plate 101 also has an outwardly expanding side plate 108 located between the downwardly adjacent limiting side plates 106, which is used to ensure the relative position stability between the limiting side plates 106. The receiving cavity 105 is formed by the limiting side plates 106 and the outwardly expanding side plate 108 on the front of the back plate 101. The front of the outwardly expanding side plate 108 has a rearwardly extending clearance groove 109, which is used to fit with the longitudinal beam 202 rotated to the vertical position, so as to avoid interference when the longitudinal beam 202 rotates upward.

[0034] A base plate 3 is fixedly connected between the two longitudinal beams 202 of the bottom movable railing 2, serving as the bottom of the unfolded storage frame to support the items placed inside. The base plate 3 has several evenly arranged drainage holes 301 to prevent water accumulation on the base plate 3. The base plate 3 also has a fitting groove 302 for the limiting side plate 106 and the outward expansion side plate 108 to pass through, so that the base plate 3 will not interfere with the movement of the limiting side plate 106 when it rotates and folds upward with the movable railing 2. The bottom of the storage plate 1 has a support plate 104 to restrict the base plate 3 to a horizontal position, thereby maintaining the stable unfolded state of the storage frame.

[0035] Working principle: In the unfolded state, the bottom support plate 3 is restricted to the horizontal direction when in contact with the support plate 104. At this time, all the longitudinal beams 202 are also in the horizontal direction. Clothes can be placed in the space enclosed by all the movable railings 2, the bottom support plate 3, the linkage plate 4, and the back plate 101. Clothes can also be hung or draped on the horizontal beams 201 and longitudinal beams 202. When the storage basket is not in use, empty the items on the storage basket, including the contents and hanging items, and then push any movable railing 2 upward. The other movable railings 2 will rotate upward together under the action of the linkage plate 4 until the linkage plate 4 is in contact with the back plate 101. At this time, all the movable railings 2 will be laid flat in the accommodating cavity 105 without overlapping. The overall thickness of the folded storage basket does not exceed the thickness of the storage plate 1 relative to the wall, so it occupies less space and has less impact on people's indoor activities when folded.

[0036] The basic principles, main features, and advantages of this application have been described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this application. Various changes and modifications can be made to this application without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
