Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage racks, and in particular to a folding storage rack, a basin, and a motorhome. Background Technology
[0002] As people's enthusiasm for travel and outdoor activities continues to grow, the demand for motorhomes is gradually increasing. However, due to the limited interior space of motorhomes, the rational allocation of storage areas is particularly important.
[0003] Currently, a Chinese patent application with publication number CN213282149U and publication date of May 28, 2021, proposes a folding storage rack, including a frame body with holes for wall mounting, at least one shelf mounted on the frame body, and mounting ears on the left and right sides of the frame body, with the left and right sides of the shelf body rotatably connected to the mounting ears on the left and right sides of the frame body respectively.
[0004] When in use, the shelving unit can be flipped inwards relative to the frame and stacked with it, or flipped outwards and unfolded at a right angle to the frame.
[0005] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the wall-mounted design of the shelving unit prevents it from moving, thus limiting its functionality. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to fully utilize the purpose of the storage rack and increase the application scenarios of the foldable storage rack, this utility model provides a foldable storage rack, a water basin, and a motorhome.
[0007] First aspect: This utility model provides a folding storage rack, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A folding storage rack includes: a support frame, an upper storage basket and a lower storage basket rotatably mounted on the support frame, two limiting rods provided on the support frame, wherein when the upper storage basket and the lower storage basket are unfolded, the two limiting rods respectively abut against one side of the upper storage basket and the lower storage basket; when the upper storage basket and the lower storage basket are folded, the upper storage basket and the lower storage basket are in a flat state; a connecting part is also provided at the bottom of the support frame, the connecting part being rotatably connected to the support platform.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, during installation, the support frame is first rotatably connected to the support platform via the connecting part. When the support platform is rotated to be perpendicular to the support platform, the upper and lower storage baskets rotate to be perpendicular to the support frame. At this time, the limiting rod supports and limits the upper and lower storage baskets, and the folding shelf is in the unfolded state, supported on the support platform and used as a shelf. When the support platform is rotated to be parallel to the support platform, the support frame is supported on the support platform, and the upper and lower storage baskets rotate to be parallel to the support frame. At the same time, the upper and lower storage baskets are supported on the support platform in a flat state, used as covers, reducing dust falling on the support platform or reducing the probability of scratching the support platform. In this way, the folding shelf can be used as a shelf when unfolded, and can be used as a protective cover when folded flat. The multi-purpose design of the folding shelf fully utilizes the purpose of the shelf.
[0010] Optionally, the support frame is provided with a limiting plate on one side of the connecting part, and the limiting plate is provided with a supporting part for abutting against the edge of the support platform.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the limiting plate enables the support frame to be installed on the edge of the support platform, reducing the space occupied by the support frame on the support platform. The setting of the support part on the limiting plate enables the support part to abut against the edge of the support platform when the support frame is rotated to be perpendicular to the support platform, thereby providing support for the support frame and restricting the support frame to a position perpendicular to the support platform.
[0012] Optionally, a flexible pad is provided on the side of the support portion facing the support platform.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the flexible pad can act as a buffer between the support and the edge of the support platform when the support part abuts against the edge of the support platform, reducing the hard contact between the support and the support platform, thereby reducing the probability of scratches or serious collisions between the support and the support platform.
[0014] Optionally, it also includes a basket connecting rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to one side of the upper basket and the other end of which is rotatably connected to one side of the lower basket. The basket connecting rod is arranged parallel to the support frame.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the basket linkage enables the upper and lower baskets to be linked, so that flipping either the upper or lower basket can achieve synchronous rotation of the two; at the same time, the support linkage can also support the upper and lower baskets on the support frame when they are folded up, thus providing support for the upper and lower baskets.
[0016] Optionally, the side of the suspended basket connecting rod facing the support frame is provided with an abutment portion, which is protruding.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when both the upper and lower baskets are rotated to a flat position parallel to the support frame, the protruding structure of the abutment part can abut against the support frame. By setting the degree of protrusion of the abutment part on the basket connecting rod, the rotation angle of the upper and lower baskets can be limited when the abutment part abuts against the support frame. At the same time, the setting of the abutment part can also widen the basket connecting rod, thereby increasing the strength of the basket connecting rod.
[0018] Optionally, buffer pads are provided at the positions where the two limiting rods, the upper basket, and the lower basket abut.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the buffer pad can play a buffering role between the upper and lower baskets and the limit rod when the upper and lower baskets rotate and unfold and abut against the limit rod, thereby reducing the collision between the upper and lower baskets and the limit rod and providing a certain degree of protection.
[0020] Optionally, the support frame, the upper basket, and the lower basket are provided with support feet. When the upper basket and the lower basket are folded and the support frame rotates and falls onto the support platform, the support feet contact the support platform.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the baffle can play a limiting role when the upper and lower storage baskets are unfolded and used as shelves, reducing the probability of items placed on the upper and lower storage baskets falling off.
[0022] Optionally, the support frame, the upper basket, and the lower basket are all provided with support feet on the side facing the support platform, and the support feet are made of flexible material.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the support feet allow the shelf to fold up and be used as a cover, so that the support feet can contact the support platform. The flexible material of the support feet can buffer the support frame, the upper and lower hanging baskets when they come into contact with the support platform, reducing the probability of damage caused by collision with the support platform.
[0024] Secondly, this utility model provides a water basin, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0025] A basin is provided with a basin body and a folding shelf as described in the first aspect, the folding shelf being rotatably mounted on the edge of the basin body.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the folding shelf described in the first aspect is installed on the edge of the basin countertop via a hinge. When the folding shelf is unfolded, it can be used as a shelf on the edge of the basin countertop. When the folding shelf is folded and laid flat on the basin, it can be used as a cover for the basin, reducing dust accumulation in the basin and protecting the basin. This multi-purpose design improves the space utilization around the basin.
[0027] Thirdly: This utility model provides a motorhome, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0028] A motorhome equipped with a water basin as described in the second aspect.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, when the water basin described in the second aspect is installed inside the RV, the utilization rate of the RV's interior space can be improved.
[0030] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0031] Install the folding shelf near the sink. When you need to use the shelf, simply unfold it; when you don't need it, fold it up and lay it flat on the sink. This multi-functional design makes full use of the folding shelf and improves space utilization.
[0032] The upper and lower hanging baskets form a parallelogram mechanism through the basket connecting rod, which enables synchronous linkage between the upper and lower hanging baskets, further facilitating the folding and unfolding of the shelf. At the same time, the basket connecting rod can also provide support and limit the upper and lower hanging baskets from the side when the shelf is folded.
[0033] The folding shelf is vertically fixed at the edge of the support table by a limiting plate, which can effectively reduce the space occupied by the folding shelf on the sink.
[0034] The upper and lower storage baskets are fixed by contact between the limiting rods and the buffer pads, resulting in high overall structural stability after the upper and lower storage baskets are deployed. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0046] The following combination Figures 1 to 10 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0047] This utility model discloses a motorhome. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 4 A motorhome mainly includes a frame, a carriage mounted on the frame, and a water basin installed inside the carriage. The water basin is equipped with a folding storage rack, which mainly includes: a support frame 100, an upper storage basket 200 and a lower storage basket 300 rotatably mounted on the support frame 100, a basket connecting rod 400 rotatably mounted on the upper storage basket 200 and the lower storage basket 300 at both ends, and a limiting plate 500 fixedly mounted on the support frame 100.
[0048] During installation, align the limiting plate 500 with the edge of the basin, use hinges to rotate the support frame 100 onto the support platform of the basin, and install the side of the support frame 100 with the upper hanging basket 200 and the lower hanging basket 300 facing away from the basin.
[0049] When used as a shelf, first rotate the support frame 100 along the hinge until it is perpendicular to the support platform of the sink. At this time, the limiting plate 500 will abut against the side of the support platform of the sink for support. Next, rotate the upper shelf 200 or the lower shelf 300 until it is perpendicular to the support frame 100. At this time, the side of the upper shelf and the lower shelf closest to the support frame 100 will abut against the limiting rod 110 installed on the support frame 100, thus limiting the upper shelf 200 and the lower shelf 300 to the horizontal direction. When rotating the upper shelf 200 or the lower shelf 300, the upper shelf 200 and the lower shelf 300 will be linked through the basket connecting rod 400 and rotate simultaneously.
[0050] When used as a basin cover, first rotate the upper basket 200 or the lower basket 300 until they are parallel to the support frame 100, forming a flat position. At this time, the basket connecting rod 400 will abut against the support frame 100, restricting the upper basket 200 and the lower basket 300 to the flat position. Next, rotate the support frame 100 to cover the basin with the flat upper basket 200 and the lower basket 300. At this time, the limiting plate 500 separates from the basin's support platform, and the support frame 100, the upper basket 200 and the lower basket 300 will be supported on the basin's support platform, covering the basin.
[0051] Reference Figures 5 to 6 The support frame 100 is a rectangular frame welded together from two horizontal tubes and two vertical tubes 120. The two horizontal tubes serve both as part of the support frame 100 and as limiting rods 110. The lower limiting rod 110 has multiple connecting holes in its center as connecting parts 130, and hinges are installed on these connecting parts 130 to achieve hinged connection between the support frame 100 and the water basin, and to restrict the support frame 100 from rotating 90 degrees. The back of each of the two horizontal tubes has a first hole 111. In order to reduce the impact when the upper and lower storage baskets 200 and 300 come into contact with the limiting rods 110, buffer pads 150 are also provided on the two limiting rods 110. The buffer pads 150 are rubber blocks and are fixed in the first holes 111 of the two horizontal tubes respectively. When the storage baskets are in the unfolded state, the buffer pads 150 on the horizontal tubes can limit the upper and lower storage baskets 200 and 300, restricting their extreme positions to the horizontal position.
[0052] Reference Figures 5 to 7 The upper storage basket 200 is rotatably connected to the support frame 100. Specifically, the upper storage basket 200 has a protruding ear plate on the side near the support frame 100, and a fourth hole 201 is opened on the ear plate. The inner sides of the two longitudinal tubes 120 have first through holes 122. The fourth hole 201 on the ear plate of the upper storage basket 200 is rotatably connected to the first through holes 122 on the two longitudinal tubes 120 of the support frame 100. In order to enable the upper storage basket 200 to be supported on the support platform of the basin in the flat state, multiple sixth holes 203 are provided on the upward end face of the upper storage basket 200. The rubber blocks are fixed upward on two of the sixth holes 203 to form support feet 140. Two longitudinal tubes 120 have second holes 121 drilled on their front sides. The rubber blocks are fixed to the second holes 121 of the two longitudinal tubes 120 respectively. Support legs 140 are also formed on the support frame 100. When the storage basket is folded up, the support legs 140 are in contact with the water basin plane and play a supporting role. In order to reduce the probability of items falling when placed on the upper storage basket 200, a baffle 210 is provided around the edge of the upper storage basket 200.
[0053] Reference Figures 5 to 7 The lower storage basket 300 has the same structure as the upper storage basket 200. The lower storage basket 300 is rotatably connected to the support frame 100. Specifically, the inner sides of the two longitudinal tubes 120 are drilled with second through holes 123, which are rotatably connected to the second through holes 123 on the two longitudinal tubes 120 of the support frame 100 through the seventh hole 301 on the ear plate of the lower storage basket 300. The rubber blocks are fixed upward on the two ninth holes 303 to form support feet 140, and they are in contact with the water basin plane when the storage basket is folded up, thus providing support. When items are placed on the lower storage basket 300, in order to reduce the probability of items falling off the lower storage basket 300, a baffle 210 is also provided at the edge of the lower storage basket 300.
[0054] Reference Figure 8The upper and lower ends of the side of the hanging basket connecting rod 400 are respectively drilled with a tenth hole 401 and an eleventh hole 402. The tenth hole 401 is rotatably connected to the fifth hole 202 of the upper hanging basket 200, and the eleventh hole 402 is rotatably connected to the eighth hole 302 of the lower hanging basket 300. The hanging basket connecting rod 400 and the support frame 100 are arranged in parallel, so that the support frame 100, the upper hanging basket 200, the lower hanging basket 300 and the hanging basket connecting rod 400 form a parallelogram mechanism. By flipping one of the upper hanging basket 200 and the lower hanging basket 300, the two can be rotated synchronously. In order to place the upper hanging basket 200... When both the upper and lower baskets 200 and 300 rotate to a flat position parallel to the support frame 100, the basket connecting rod 400 can abut against the support frame 100 for limiting. An abutment part 410 is provided at the middle position of the basket connecting rod 400. The abutment part 410 is a protrusion on the basket connecting rod 400. By setting the protrusion height of the protrusion part, the rotation angle of the upper basket 200 and the lower basket 300 can be limited when the abutment part 410 abuts against the support frame 100. At the same time, the abutment part 410 also increases the width of the basket connecting rod 400, thereby increasing the strength of the basket connecting rod 400.
[0055] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 The limiting plate 500 is fixedly installed at one end of the support frame 100 where the connecting part 130 is provided, and has a support part 510 extending beyond the edge of the support frame 100. Specifically, the limiting plate 500 is fixedly engaged with the second through hole 123 and the third hole 124 of the support frame 100 through the twelfth hole 501 on the side. When the basket is in the unfolded state, the support part 510 of the limiting plate 500 abuts against the outer extension of the basin support platform to limit the basket and keep the extreme position of the support frame 100 in a vertical state.
[0056] The implementation principle of a folding shelf according to this utility model embodiment is as follows: During installation, firstly, the support part 510 fixedly installed on the support frame 100 abuts against the side of the basin, and then the support frame 100 is rotatably connected to the support platform of the basin using hinges; when used as a shelf, firstly, the support frame 100 is rotated to a position perpendicular to the support platform of the basin, and then the upper shelf basket 200 and the lower shelf basket 300 are rotated to a position perpendicular to the support frame 100. At this time, the folding shelf unfolds at the edge of the basin and is used as a shelf; when used as a basin cover, firstly, the upper shelf basket 200 and the lower shelf basket 300 are rotated to a position perpendicular to the support frame 100. Parallel to the support frame 100, the support frame 100, the upper hanging basket 200, and the lower hanging basket 300 are rotated together to a position where they are horizontally supported on the support platform of the basin, and laid flat on the basin as a basin cover. When the upper hanging basket 200 and the lower hanging basket 300 rotate, they are linked through the hanging basket connecting rod 400 to achieve synchronous rotation. When the upper hanging basket 200 and the lower hanging basket 300 rotate to a position perpendicular to the support frame 100, they will abut against the buffer pad 150 of the limit rod 110, resulting in high overall structural stability.
[0057] In summary, this utility model installs a folding storage rack near a sink. When the rack is needed, it is unfolded; when not in use, it is folded and laid flat on the sink as a cover, thus providing some support and fully utilizing the rack's functionality. Installing it in a motorhome also improves space utilization. The upper storage basket 200 and lower storage basket 300 form a parallelogram mechanism via a basket connecting rod 400, enabling synchronous linkage between them and further facilitating the folding and unfolding of the rack. When the upper and lower storage baskets 200 and 300 rotate to a position perpendicular to the support frame 100, they abut against the buffer pad 150 of the limiting rod 110, enhancing stability.
[0058] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
