Detailed Implementation

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a drying basket, including a basket body 10, a handle 20, and a connector 30. The handle 20 includes a carrying part 21 and two connecting parts 22 respectively disposed at both ends of the carrying part 21. The two connecting parts 22 are rotatably disposed on both sides of the basket body 10 through the connector 30. The connector 30 is provided with a channel for the connecting parts 22 to move through.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the basket 10 is a rectangular structure, comprising a rectangular base plate and four rectangular side plates. The four rectangular side plates are respectively disposed on the four sides of the rectangular base plate, together enclosing a space for accommodating clothing. Designing the basket 10 as a rectangular structure allows for the drying or temporary storage of more clothing. Especially in scenarios where multiple drying baskets are used simultaneously, the rectangular structure allows for a close fit between the baskets, minimizing gaps and maximizing space utilization while reducing waste. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the basket 10 is not limited to a rectangular structure; it can also be circular or other polygonal structures.

[0037] In this embodiment, the basket 10 has connecting holes 11 on both sides, and the connector 30 includes a rotating shaft 31. The connector 30 is rotatably disposed in the connecting hole 11 via the rotating shaft 31. The rotational engagement between the connecting hole 11 and the rotating shaft 31 enables the handle 20 to be rotated and adjusted relative to the basket 10.

[0038] Preferably, the connecting member 30 is a damping shaft, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the damping shaft includes a bushing 311, a shaft core 312, and a damping assembly (not shown). The bushing 311 is installed in the connecting hole, one end of the shaft core 312 is rotatably disposed within the bushing 311, and the damping assembly is disposed between the bushing 311 and the shaft core 312. The damping assembly includes a friction plate group and a spring. The friction plate group includes several friction plates and a damping medium disposed in the gaps between the friction plates. The spring presses against the friction plate group to generate a frictional torque that restricts the rotation of the shaft core. Through the design of the damping shaft, the handle 20 can be adjusted and suspended at any angle within a 360° range, and the damping shaft rotates smoothly and quietly, improving the user experience. It should be noted that the damping shaft is existing technology. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the suspension of the handle 20 is not limited to using a damping shaft; a first locking assembly can also be provided in the connecting hole 11 to lock the handle after rotational adjustment. Specifically, as shown... Figures 6 to 8As shown, the first locking component includes a first spring piece 313, which is disposed on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 31. The first spring piece 313 has a cylindrical protrusion, and the inner wall of the connecting hole 11 has several first grooves 111 corresponding to the cylindrical protrusion. These first grooves 111 extend along the axial direction of the connecting hole 11 and are sequentially distributed along the circumferential direction of the connecting hole 11. The cylindrical protrusion engages with one of the first grooves 111. By providing a first spring piece 311 on the rotating shaft 31, a cylindrical protrusion on the first spring piece 311, and a first groove 111 engaging with the cylindrical protrusion on the inner wall of the connecting hole 11, the handle can be stopped and stabilized after rotational adjustment. Alternatively, the first spring piece 311 can be disposed on the inner wall of the connecting hole 11, and the first groove 111 can be disposed on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 31.

[0039] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting member 30 has a channel on the side away from the basket 10, and the extending direction of the channel is perpendicular to the extending direction of the connecting member 30. In this embodiment, the channel is a through hole 315, and the connecting part 22 of the handle 20 slides through the through hole 315. The design of the through hole 315 enables the sliding adjustment of the handle 10 relative to the connecting member 30. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the channel can be a groove, and the connecting part 22 has a slide rail on the side near the connecting member 30, and the groove matches the slide rail. The groove and the slide rail enable the smooth sliding of the connecting part 22.

[0040] Furthermore, a second locking component is provided within the through hole 315 to limit the sliding of the connecting portion. For example... Figures 9 to 11As shown, the second locking component includes a second spring piece 314, which is disposed on the inner wall of the through hole 315. The second spring piece 314 has a cylindrical protrusion. The connecting portion 22 has a plurality of second grooves 221 corresponding to the cylindrical protrusion on one side near the cylindrical protrusion. The plurality of second grooves 221 extend along the length direction perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting portion 22 and are distributed sequentially along the length direction of the connecting portion 22. The cylindrical protrusion engages with one of the second grooves 221. By providing the second spring piece 314 in the through hole 315, providing the cylindrical protrusion on the second spring piece 314, and providing the second groove 221 on the connecting portion 22 that engages with the cylindrical protrusion, the connecting portion 22 can be stopped and stabilized after sliding adjustment relative to the connecting member 30. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the second locking component may include a second friction plate and a preload spring. A blind hole perpendicular to the axis of the through hole 315 is provided on the inner wall of the through hole 315. The preload spring is disposed in the blind hole. The friction plate is disposed at the end of the preload spring away from the blind hole and abuts against the connecting part 22. The friction resistance generated by the preload spring pressing against the friction plate restricts the sliding of the connecting part 22, thereby achieving a stable stop after the connecting part 22 has been adjusted relative to the connecting member 30.

[0041] like Figure 9 As shown, the handle 20 includes two carrying parts 21 and two connecting parts 22, which are connected end-to-end to form a ring structure. In this embodiment, the handle 20 is a rectangular frame structure, and the plane of the connecting parts 22 is parallel to one side of the basket body 10. The rectangular frame structure of the handle facilitates rotational and sliding adjustment, and also helps to improve the structural stability of the drying basket. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the handle 20 is not limited to a rectangular frame structure; it can be an irregularly shaped ring structure, such as one carrying part 21 being an arc-shaped structure and the rest being flat plate-shaped structures, connected end-to-end to form an irregular ring structure; or it can be a non-ring structure, such as a non-ring structure formed by connecting one carrying part 21 and the two connecting parts 22.

[0042] Preferably, one of the carrying handles 21 and the two connecting parts 22 are integrated into one piece, while the other carrying handle 21 is detachably connected to the two connecting parts 22 by means of buckles, screws, or other means. This design facilitates the assembly of the drying basket. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, after assembling the connecting parts 21 and the connecting piece 30, the carrying handle 21 can be welded to the integrated design.

[0043] In this embodiment, the bottom of the basket 10 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 12, which are arranged in an array. The design of the ventilation holes 12 helps to improve drying efficiency. Preferably, the ventilation holes 12 are elongated and extend along the width direction of the basket 10. The elongated design of the ventilation holes 12 greatly increases ventilation, further improving drying efficiency.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the basket 10 is provided with two protrusions 13, which are positioned opposite each other on both sides of the bottom of the basket 10. The protrusions 13 prevent clothes from directly contacting the ground when placed on it, ensuring the clothes remain clean and tidy during drying. Simultaneously, the protrusions 13 provide additional support points, helping to increase the stability of the drying basket. In this embodiment, the protrusions 13 are elongated strips extending along the length of the basket 10. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the protrusions 13 can be cylindrical or other polygonal shapes, with several cylindrical or other polygonal protrusions respectively positioned on both sides of the bottom of the basket 10. Furthermore, the placement of the protrusions 13 is not limited to the two sides of the bottom of the basket 10; they can also be placed on any three or four sides of the bottom of the basket 10.

[0045] Instructions for using a drying basket with a clothes drying rack: Figures 12 to 14 As shown, the drying basket includes a spreading mode: the basket 10 is placed horizontally on the two clothes drying rods 40 of the clothes drying machine, and the handle 20 is rotated to be parallel to the basket 10, which can be used for spreading out small items of clothing; a transfer mode: based on the spreading mode, the handle 20 is rotated to be perpendicular to the basket 10, and at the same time, one of the handles 21 is moved to the bottom of the basket 10 through the two connecting parts 22 and supported at the bottom of the basket. Then, the other handle 20 is suspended from the two clothes drying rods 40. On top of the basket 10, it can serve as a transfer platform, facilitating temporary storage of clothes during the drying or collection process; Storage mode: Place the basket 10 vertically, then rotate the handle 20 to be parallel to the basket 10. At the same time, one of the handle 20's lifting parts 21 moves to the side wall of the basket 10 through the two connecting parts 22 and supports the side wall of the basket 10. Then, by hanging the other lifting part 21 of the handle 20 on the two clothes drying rods 40 of the clothes drying rack, it can be folded and stored without interfering with the drying of regular clothes on the clothes drying rack.

[0046] Compared with existing technologies, the drying basket provided by this utility model, through its rotatable and sliding adjustable handle, can switch between multiple modes such as drying, transferring clothes, and storing, thereby meeting various functional needs such as drying, transferring clothes, and storing. In addition, this drying basket can not only be used in conjunction with clothes drying racks to improve the functionality and convenience of drying equipment, but it can also be used independently in various scenarios such as home balconies, outdoors, and hotels, meeting the needs of drying, storage, transfer, or portability in various scenarios such as homes, outdoors, and hotels.
