Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a folding laundry basket, belonging to the technical field of household goods. Background Technology

[0002] Laundry baskets are common household storage items used to store dirty clothes. Currently, common laundry baskets are made of woven bamboo or injection-molded plastic; these are fixed structures that cannot be folded, making them inconvenient for storage and transportation. Another type is a foldable laundry basket made of non-woven fabric covering a metal support frame or spliced ​​plastic sheets. However, non-woven fabric is relatively soft, easily causing the basket to deform and break, and making it inconvenient to retrieve clothes. Common plastic sheet laundry baskets usually require many hinges for individual snap-fit ​​installation, which is cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a foldable laundry basket that is easy to store and transport.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is:

[0005] A folding laundry basket includes a base plate that is approximately elliptical when unfolded and a basket body located on the base plate. The base plate has a third crease groove extending laterally in the middle, and a second crease groove is provided at the junction of the side of the base plate and the bottom of the basket body. The second crease groove is arc-shaped and allows the base plate to bend relative to the basket body. When the basket body is folded, the base plate is folded along the third crease groove. When the basket body is unfolded, the base plate is bent into an arc shape, and the basket body and the base plate form a receiving cavity with an opening at the top.

[0006] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: the basket body includes panels located on both sides of the base plate, the two panels are arranged opposite each other and their sides are fixed together, the fixed positions on the sides of the two panels have a first crease groove, and both panels are provided with two fourth crease grooves, the distribution of the two fourth crease grooves on each panel is approximately in the shape of an "eight".

[0007] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: when the basket is in the unfolded state, the bottom plate unfolds from the folded state and the two panels move back to back, and the fourth crease groove causes the panels to bend.

[0008] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: when the basket is folded, the bottom plate is folded downwards along the third crease groove, and the two panels fit together.

[0009] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: when the basket is in the folded state, the bottom plate is folded upward along the third crease groove, and the bottom plate is located between the two panels.

[0010] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: a snap-fit ​​structure is provided between the basket and the base plate.

[0011] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: the snap-fit ​​structure includes several snap holes and several snaps. The snap holes are located on the basket body, and the hole walls of the snap holes are provided with insertion protrusions. The snaps are located on the bottom plate, and the snaps are provided with insertion holes. When the basket body is in the unfolded state, the snaps are inserted into the snap holes, and the insertion protrusions are inserted into the insertion holes.

[0012] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: the panel and the base plate are integrally injection molded.

[0013] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: the first crease groove is provided with a reinforcing rib, the reinforcing rib is integrally formed with the panel, and the first crease groove enables the panel to be bent relative to the reinforcing rib.

[0014] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: the bottom of the basket is provided with four protruding placement parts, and the four placement parts are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom of the basket; when unfolded, the bottom plate is located above the placement parts.

[0015] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: the basket body is provided with several through holes for ventilation.

[0016] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: the basket body is provided with a handle hole.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model is in an unfolded state when in use. The basket and the bottom plate form a receiving cavity with an opening at the top, which is used to hold clothes. Of course, the receiving cavity can also be used to hold toys, sundries, and other items. In the unfolded state, the bottom plate's approximately elliptical shape and the arc-shaped second crease groove cause the bottom plate to bend into an arc shape. The curved bottom plate has good support strength, preventing the bottom plate from automatically folding or severely sinking and deforming due to the weight of the items placed inside. In the folded state, the bottom plate folds along the third crease groove, flattening the basket and greatly reducing the width of the laundry basket, thus taking up less space and facilitating storage and transportation. At the same time, the bottom plate can be folded upwards or downwards, making it suitable for various applications. To accommodate different usage habits and storage environments, the bottom plate and basket body are interlocked in the unfolded state through the cooperation of buckles, buckle holes, insertion protrusions, and insertion holes, preventing the bottom plate and basket body from folding automatically and ensuring stability during use. The entire laundry basket is injection molded in one piece, eliminating the need for hinged installation, resulting in high production efficiency, low production costs, and safe and convenient use. The first crease groove allows the fixed positions on both sides of the two panels to be bent, preventing breakage at the fixed positions when the two panels move towards each other. The fourth crease groove allows the panels to bend gently when unfolded, preventing breakage. The bottom of the placement part is placed horizontally on the ground or table, facilitating vertical placement of the basket body, ensuring stability, and preventing the basket from tipping over.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] like Figure 1-4As shown, a folding laundry basket includes a base plate 3 that unfolds to an approximately elliptical shape and a basket body located on the base plate 3. A third fold groove 6 extending laterally is provided in the middle of the base plate 3. A second fold groove 5, arc-shaped, is formed at the junction of the side of the base plate 3 and the bottom of the basket body, allowing the base plate 3 to bend relative to the basket body. When the basket body is folded, the base plate 3 is folded along the third fold groove 6, flattening the basket body. When the basket body is unfolded, the base plate 3 unfolds from its folded state, and the approximately elliptical base plate 3 bends into an arc shape along the second fold groove 5, allowing the basket body to unfold. The basket body and the base plate 3 form a receiving cavity with an opening at the top. Figure 1 , 2 As shown. The cavity is used to store clothing, but it can also be used to store toys, miscellaneous items, etc. When the basket is unfolded, the bottom plate 3, with its approximately elliptical shape and the arc-shaped second crease groove 5, bends the bottom plate 3 into an arc shape. The curved bottom plate 3 has good support strength, preventing it from automatically folding or severely sinking and deforming due to the weight of the items placed inside.

[0025] In the above technical solution: the basket body includes panels 1 located on both sides of the base plate 3. The two panels 1 are arranged opposite each other and fixed on both sides. A first crease groove 4 is provided at the fixed position on both sides of the two panels 1. Each panel 1 has two arc-shaped fourth crease grooves 7, and the distribution of the two fourth crease grooves 7 on each panel 1 is approximately in the shape of an "eight". When the basket body is unfolded, the base plate 3 causes the two panels 1 to move away from each other, and the fourth crease grooves 7 cause the panels 1 to bend gently when unfolded, preventing the panels 1 from breaking. When the basket body is folded, the base plate 3 is folded downwards along the third crease groove 6, and the two panels 1 are pressed together, as... Figure 3 As shown. The first crease groove 4 allows the fixed positions on both sides of the two panels 1 to be bent, preventing the fixed positions of the two panels 1 from breaking when they move towards each other and are attached.

[0026] In the above technical solution: a snap-fit ​​structure is provided between the basket body and the base plate 3. The snap-fit ​​structure includes several snap holes 11 and several snap fasteners 31. The snap holes 11 are located on the basket body, and the hole walls of the snap holes 11 are provided with insertion protrusions 12. The snap fasteners 31 are located on the base plate 3, and the snap fasteners 31 are provided with insertion holes 32. When the basket body is in the unfolded state, the snap fasteners 31 are inserted into the snap holes 11, and the insertion protrusions 12 are inserted into the insertion holes 32, so that the base plate 3 and the basket body are snapped together, preventing the base plate 3 and the basket body from folding automatically. When it is necessary to fold the base plate 3, the insertion protrusions 12 are disengaged from the insertion holes 32, the snap fasteners 31 are disengaged from the snap holes 11, and then force is applied to fold the base plate 3 and the basket body. There are four snap holes 11 and four snap fasteners 31. The four snap holes 11 are located on both sides of the bottom of the two panels 1, and the four snap fasteners 31 are distributed on the edge of the base plate 3.

[0027] In the above technical solution: the first crease groove 4 is provided with a reinforcing rib 2, and the first crease groove 4 enables the panel 1 to be bent relative to the reinforcing rib 2.

[0028] In the above technical solution: panel 1, base plate 3 and reinforcing rib 2 are integrally injection molded.

[0029] In the above technical solution: the bottom of the basket is provided with four protruding placement parts 10, which are located at the four corners of the bottom of the basket. The four placement parts 10 are evenly distributed on both sides of the second crease groove 5 and are located below the second crease groove 5. In the unfolded state, the base plate 3 is arc-shaped and located above the placement parts 10. The bottom surface of the placement parts 10 is placed horizontally on a flat surface such as the ground or table. The placement parts 10 enable the basket to be placed vertically on a flat surface after unfolding, and to be placed stably to prevent the basket from tipping over.

[0030] In the above technical solution: the basket body has several through holes 8, which are used for ventilation to prevent the clothes and other items placed in the cavity from producing odors.

[0031] In the above technical solution: a handle hole 9 is provided on the basket body, which makes it convenient to pick up by hand.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] The technical solution of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that: when the basket is folded, the bottom plate 3 is folded upward along the third crease groove 6, and the bottom plate 3 is located between the two panels 1. During the folding process of the basket, the panels 1 are pressed to make the two panels 1 move towards each other.

[0034] When in use, this utility model is in the unfolded state, with the basket body and base plate 3 forming an open-top cavity for storing clothes. This cavity can also be used to store toys, miscellaneous items, etc. In the unfolded state, the approximately elliptical shape of the base plate 3 and the arc-shaped second fold groove 5 cause the base plate 3 to bend into an arc shape. This arc-shaped base plate 3 provides good support strength, preventing it from automatically folding or severely sinking and deforming due to the weight of the items placed inside. When stored, it is in the folded state. Because the base plate 3 folds along the third fold groove 6, the basket body is flattened, greatly reducing the width of the laundry basket, occupying less space, and facilitating storage and transportation. Simultaneously, the base plate 3 can be folded upwards or downwards, suitable for different usage habits and... Storage environment; the buckle 31 engages with the buckle hole 11, the insertion protrusion 12, and the insertion hole 32 to achieve the snap-fit ​​between the bottom plate 3 and the basket body in the unfolded state, preventing the bottom plate 3 and the basket body from folding automatically and ensuring stability during use; the entire laundry basket can be injection molded in one piece without the need for hinge installation, resulting in high production efficiency, low production cost, and safe and convenient use; the first crease groove 4 allows the fixed positions on both sides of the two panels 1 to be bent, preventing the fixed positions of the two panels 1 from breaking when they move towards each other; the fourth crease groove 7 allows the panels 1 to bend gently when unfolded, preventing the panels 1 from breaking when unfolded; the bottom surface of the placement part 10 is placed horizontally on the ground or tabletop, facilitating the vertical placement of the basket body, ensuring the basket body is placed stably, and preventing the basket body from tipping over.
