Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transfer device technology, and in particular to a storage basket and its carrying vehicle suitable for ramps. Background Technology
[0002] Storage baskets and frames are standard features in transfer devices. Existing transfer devices typically have storage baskets and frames that are fixedly connected to each other on the four side walls and bottom wall, with an open top. Moreover, for the convenience of placing items, they are usually designed as trapezoidal bodies with a larger top area than bottom area, making them narrower at the bottom and wider at the top. If existing storage baskets and frames carry items on ramps with an inclined angle, or if there is shaking during the transfer process, the items inside will slip out.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a storage basket and its carrying cart are now provided. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the current technology and provide a storage basket and its carrying cart, the technical solution of which is as follows:
[0005] The first aspect is a storage basket, including a storage basket body, a first movable baffle, and a second movable baffle.
[0006] The main body of the storage basket consists of a base plate and two side plates that are fixedly connected to the base plate, forming a through groove. Two pivots are fixed on the inner side of each side plate near the upper edge. These two pivots are arranged along the length of the through groove and located at both ends of the side plate. The four pivots on the two side plates are symmetrically arranged about the vertical plane of the base plate, which is parallel to the length of the through groove.
[0007] The first and second movable baffles each have a pivot hole on one of their two side walls near their upper end. The pivot holes are blind holes. The number and specifications of the pivot holes are matched with the number and position of the pivots. Each pivot is inserted into the corresponding pivot hole and is rotatably connected to the pivot hole.
[0008] The lower ends of the first and second movable baffles are respectively movably connected to the bottom plate of the main body of the storage basket.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom plate of the main body of the storage basket is provided with a sliding groove, which is a through hole. The lower end face of the first movable baffle and the second movable baffle are fixedly connected to the limiting post. The width of the sliding groove is adapted to the diameter of the limiting post and the setting position is adapted to the limiting post. The limiting post is inserted into the corresponding sliding groove and extends below the bottom plate and is slidably connected with the sliding groove. During the rotation of the first movable baffle and the second movable baffle, the limiting post does not disengage from the sliding groove.
[0010] Preferably, flexible connectors are connected between the lower end of the first movable baffle and the bottom plate of the main body of the storage basket, and between the lower end of the second movable baffle and the bottom plate of the main body of the storage basket, respectively. The width of the flexible connector is slightly larger than the rotational swing of the connected movable baffle.
[0011] Preferably, the upper ends of the first movable baffle and the second movable baffle are respectively fixedly connected with curved parts, the curved parts are bent in opposite directions, both facing into the storage basket.
[0012] The second aspect is a cargo vehicle equipped with the aforementioned storage basket, including a frame, the frame having wheels in contact with the ground, a handle for pushing the vehicle, and a support plate, the bottom plate of the main body of the storage basket being fixedly connected to the support plate, and a first movable baffle being positioned close to the handle or a second movable baffle being positioned close to the handle.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] Because movable baffles are installed near the front and rear ends of the storage basket, when the cargo vehicle equipped with the storage basket is running on a ramp with an incline, or when there is shaking during the transfer process, the movable baffles rotate and change the inner angle between them and the bottom plate, making it less likely for items placed in the storage basket to slip out of the storage basket.

[0025] The technical solutions will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that the provided embodiments are only some implementations of this utility model and do not cover all possible implementation forms. Any other implementation schemes that can be derived by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative thinking should be considered as part of the protection scope of this utility model. Example 1
[0026] Please see Figure 1 , 2 5 and 6, the storage basket 1 includes a storage basket body 110, a first movable baffle 121 and a second movable baffle 122; the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 have the same structure and are equal in size.
[0027] The main body 110 of the storage basket consists of a base plate and two side plates that are fixedly connected to the base plate, and the whole is in the shape of a through groove. Two rotating shafts 112 are fixed on the inner side of each side plate near the upper edge. These two rotating shafts are arranged along the length of the through groove and are located at both ends of the side plate. The four rotating shafts 112 on the two side plates are symmetrically arranged about the vertical plane of the base plate, which is parallel to the length of the through groove.
[0028] The upper opening area of the storage basket 1 is larger than the bottom plate area. This structure makes it convenient to put in and take out the contents. In addition to the upper opening, the main body of the storage basket 110 also has two openings at the front and rear ends.
[0029] A first movable baffle 121 is provided at the front opening of the main body 110 of the storage basket, and a second movable baffle 122 is provided at the rear opening of the main body 110 of the storage basket. A pivot hole 125 is provided on the two side walls of the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 near the upper end. The pivot hole 125 is a blind hole. A pivot 112 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the two side plates of the main body 110 of the storage basket near the upper end. In this embodiment, there are a total of four pivots 112 on the two side plates of the main body 110 of the storage basket. The first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 each have two pivot holes 125. The diameter, depth and setting position of each pivot hole 125 are adapted to and matched with each pivot 112. Each pivot 112 passes through the corresponding pivot hole 125 and is rotatably connected to the pivot hole 125.
[0030] The bottom plate of the main body 110 of the storage basket has a sliding groove 111, which is a through hole. The lower end face of the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 is fixedly connected to the limiting post 123. In this embodiment, the bottom plate of the main body 110 of the storage basket has a total of 4 sliding grooves 111. The lower end face of the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 has two limiting posts 123 respectively. The width and setting position of each sliding groove 111 are adapted to and matched with each limiting post 123. Each limiting post 123 is inserted into the corresponding sliding groove 111 and extends below the bottom plate and is slidably connected to the sliding groove 111. During the rotation of the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122, the limiting post 123 does not disengage from the sliding groove 111.
[0031] The storage basket 1 is mounted on the frame 2, forming a cargo cart. The frame 2 has wheels that contact the ground, a handle for pushing the cart, and a support plate 201. The bottom plate of the storage basket body 110 is fixedly connected to the support plate 201. Both the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 can be positioned close to the handle. In this embodiment, the second movable baffle 122 is positioned close to the handle. For ease of description, the end of the storage basket 1 with the first movable baffle 121 is referred to as the "front end", and the end of the storage basket 1 with the second movable baffle 122 is referred to as the "rear end".
[0032] Please see Figure 1 and 2In use, items are placed in the storage basket 1 of the cargo cart (the items are not shown). When pushed on the ramp 3, due to gravity, both the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 will rotate around the pivot 112. Taking the rotation of the first movable baffle 121 when pushing the cargo cart down the ramp 3 from uphill to downhill as an example: Due to gravity, firstly, the items in the storage basket 1 tend to slide towards the front on the bottom plate. If the items press against the first movable baffle 121, the first movable baffle 121 will rotate. Secondly, even if the items do not press against the first movable baffle 121, the first movable baffle 121 will still rotate due to its own weight. As a result of the rotation, the portion of the first movable baffle 121 below the pivot 112 rotates toward the front end of the storage basket 1, and the portion above the pivot 112 rotates toward the rear end of the storage basket 1. When the limiting post 123 abuts against the front side wall of the slide groove 111, the first movable baffle 121 stops rotating, making the inner angle between the first movable baffle 121 and the bottom plate in the storage basket 1 smaller. The smaller value of the inner angle is equal to the inclination angle of the ramp 3. The first movable baffle 121 bears the positive pressure decomposed by the weight of the items. Compared with the existing storage basket (frame) with the four side walls and bottom wall fixedly connected to each other, the items in the storage basket 1 of this utility model are less likely to slip out of the storage basket 1.
[0033] When the cargo vehicle is pushed uphill from downhill to uphill on ramp 3, the second movable baffle 122 at the rear end comes into play, and its principle is the same as before, so it will not be described again. Example 2
[0034] In Embodiment 1, since a sliding groove 111 is provided on the bottom plate of the main body 110 of the storage basket, small items that can leak out of the sliding groove 111 cannot be placed in it. In order to overcome this defect, Embodiment 2 differs from Embodiment 1 in that the sliding groove is not provided on the bottom plate, and the lower ends of the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 are not provided with limiting posts.
[0035] Please see Figure 3 , 4Both the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 have a flexible connector 124 at their lower ends. The flexible connector 124 is made of a soft material, such as fabric, rubber, or plastic. The flexible connector 124 is connected between the lower end of the first movable baffle 121 and the bottom plate of the storage basket body 110, and between the lower end of the second movable baffle 122 and the bottom plate of the storage basket body 110. The connection between them can be glued or made with a strip and nails. The width of the flexible connector 124 is slightly larger than the rotation range of the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122. When the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 rotate, the flexible connector 124 moves along with them under the pull of its lower end. Because of the use of the flexible connector 124, small items will not leak out.
[0036] Apart from the differences mentioned above, this embodiment is the same as Embodiment 1 in terms of other structures, working principles and usage methods, and will not be repeated here. Example 3
[0037] Please see Figure 8 This embodiment further optimizes the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 by adding a bent portion 126 to the upper end of the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122. The bent portion 126 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 respectively.
[0038] Figure 8 The first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 in Embodiment 2 have a curved portion 126 added to their upper ends; the illustration of the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 in Embodiment 1 with a curved portion 126 added to their upper ends is not shown.
[0039] When the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 are installed, their curved portions 126 are bent toward each other, that is, they both face toward the inside of the storage basket 1.
[0040] Because the upper ends of the first movable baffle 121 and the second movable baffle 122 are provided with curved portions 126, the effect of preventing items from slipping out of the storage basket 1 is increased.
[0041] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, and the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or improvements made by those skilled in the art based on their understanding of the technical solution and its improvement concept of this utility model should be considered to fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
