Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage container technology, specifically to a pressure-resistant structure for a plastic basket with reinforcing ribs. Background Technology

[0002] Plastic crates are containers made from thermoplastic plastics such as polypropylene and polyethylene through processes like injection molding and blow molding. Because they are lightweight, tough, resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, rust-resistant, and easy to clean, they are widely used in agricultural fruit and vegetable transportation, industrial parts storage, and commercial warehousing and turnover.

[0003] Utility model patent CN222845630U discloses a breathable plastic basket with a stacking-safe design. This basket includes a basket body. Both ends of the left outer wall of the basket body have outwardly protruding first positioning protrusions. The left inner wall of the basket body has a first positioning groove opposite the first positioning protrusions. The right outer wall of the basket body has symmetrically arranged outwardly protruding second positioning protrusions. The right inner wall of the basket body has second positioning grooves opposite the second positioning protrusions. This breathable plastic basket with a stacking-safe design is suitable not only for stacking empty boxes but also for stacking during transport with loads, flexibly adapting to different usage scenarios and improving its practicality and adaptability. The unique anti-fouling support design effectively avoids the suction force generated when the baskets are stacked too close together, making separation of the baskets easier and reducing operational inconvenience.

[0004] This breathable plastic basket with a stacking and error-proof design is only a single-layer design. When used to carry heavy items, the basket is easily deformed or even damaged due to stress. When storing a small number of items, the large size of the basket takes up space and is inconvenient to move. When it needs to carry a large number of heavy objects, the single-layer basket cannot withstand the pressure. In view of this, we propose a pressure-resistant plastic basket structure with reinforcing ribs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pressure-resistant structure for plastic baskets with reinforcing ribs, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] The reinforced plastic basket compression-resistant structure includes:

[0008] The outer basket, as the main storage component, has several external reinforcing ribs on its outer peripheral surface, several internal reinforcing ribs on its four inner walls, and locking openings at the four vertical edges of its outer periphery.

[0009] The inner frame serves as a structural reinforcement component of the outer frame. The inner frame is fitted inside the outer frame and is detachably connected to it. Each of the four outer perimeter surfaces of the inner frame has a horizontally oriented abutment plate with several slots. The positions of the slots correspond to the positions of the internal reinforcing ribs. Each of the four vertical edges of the outer perimeter of the inner frame has a movable opening, which corresponds to the position of the locking opening.

[0010] A locking assembly for locking the inner basket and the outer basket together, the locking assembly including a locking tongue, the head end of the locking tongue passing through the movable opening and extending into the locking opening.

[0011] Preferably, the outer frame has a first protruding edge at the top periphery and the inner frame has a second protruding edge at the top periphery. When the inner frame is fitted into the outer frame, the second protruding edge overlaps the first protruding edge.

[0012] In this design, the overlap of the first and second protruding edges increases the contact area between the tops of the inner and outer baskets, making the combination more stable and facilitating the determination of whether the installation is in place.

[0013] Preferably, the outer frame is rectangular in shape, the inner frame is frustum in shape, and the inner reinforcing rib is a right-angled triangular plate structure. The two right-angled sides of the inner reinforcing rib are respectively attached to the bottom wall and side wall of the outer frame. When the inner frame is inserted into the outer frame, the hypotenuse of each inner reinforcing rib abuts against the outer surface of the inner frame.

[0014] In this design, the rectangular outer basket facilitates the neat placement of items, while the frustum-shaped inner basket, combined with right-angled triangular reinforcing ribs, enhances the support of the bottom and side walls, making the installation of the inner and outer baskets more stable.

[0015] Preferably, each of the four corners at the bottom of the inner end of the outer basket is provided with an L-shaped abutment, which abuts against the edge of the outer peripheral surface of the inner basket when the inner basket is inserted into the outer basket.

[0016] In this setup, the L-shaped abutment blocks position and support the inner basket, preventing it from shifting within the outer basket.

[0017] Preferably, a first lifting opening is provided at the top position of the left and right end faces of the outer basket, and a second lifting opening is provided at the top position of the left and right end faces of the inner basket. When the inner basket is inserted into the outer basket, the first lifting opening and the second lifting opening are aligned.

[0018] In this setup, the first and second lifting openings facilitate the individual handling of the inner and outer baskets, while the aligned lifting openings make it easier to handle the entire basket when assembled.

[0019] Preferably, grooves are provided on both the top and bottom sides of the latch, and rubber plates are embedded in the grooves. The top and bottom edges of the movable opening exert extrusion force on the rubber plates.

[0020] Preferably, the outer surface of the rubber sheet is provided with several anti-slip protrusions;

[0021] In both of these settings, the rubber plate and its anti-slip ridges utilize elasticity and friction to prevent the locking tongue from sliding due to vibration during use, ensuring stable locking.

[0022] Preferably, the surface of the latch at the end of the rubber plate is provided with an outer retaining edge, and the surface of the latch at the beginning of the rubber plate is provided with an inner retaining edge. The movable opening is located between the outer retaining edge and the inner retaining edge. When the locking assembly is moved to insert the beginning of the latch into the locking opening, the inner retaining edge abuts against the outer surface of the inner basket. When the locking assembly is moved outward to abut against the inner wall of the outer basket, the beginning of the latch disengages from the locking opening.

[0023] In this setting, the outer and inner retaining edges provide limits for the sliding of the locking tongue, ensuring accurate and stable insertion and disengagement operations.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0025] This reinforced plastic basket features a pressure-resistant structure. The inner basket can be used independently as a small container for storing items, offering flexibility and convenience. Alternatively, it can be installed within the outer basket, working together with the outer basket, reinforcing ribs, and other structures to form a unified whole, enhancing the plastic basket's pressure resistance and effectively improving its load-bearing capacity to meet the needs of various scenarios.

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-5 The reinforced plastic crate structure includes an outer crate 100 as the main storage component, an inner crate 200 as a structural reinforcement of the outer crate 100, and a locking assembly 300 for locking the inner crate 200 and the outer crate 100 together. The outer crate 100 has several external reinforcing ribs 120 on its outer peripheral surface, which enhance the structural strength of the outer crate 100 and reduce deformation under external pressure. The inner walls of the outer crate 100 are also provided with several internal reinforcing ribs 130, which reinforce the inner walls of the outer crate 100 and improve its overall compressive strength. The inner crate 200 is fitted inside the outer crate 100, and the two are detachably connected. This detachable connection makes the plastic crate more flexible in use; the inner crate 200 can be used alone or in combination to meet different usage needs.

[0037] like Figures 1-3As shown, in this utility model, the outer basket 100 is generally rectangular, the inner basket 200 is generally frustum-shaped, and the inner reinforcing rib 130 is a right-angled triangular plate structure. The two right-angled sides of the inner reinforcing rib 130 are respectively attached to the bottom wall and side wall of the outer basket 100. When the inner basket 200 is inserted into the outer basket 100, the hypotenuse of each inner reinforcing rib 130 abuts against the outer surface of the inner basket 200. The rectangular outer basket 100 facilitates the neat placement and stacking of items. When the frustum-shaped inner basket 200 is inserted into the outer basket 100, it abuts against the hypotenuse of the inner reinforcing rib 130, making the installation of the inner basket 200 more stable. At the same time, the attachment of the inner reinforcing rib 130 to the bottom wall and side wall of the outer basket 100 further enhances the support strength of the bottom and side wall. The inner basket 200 has horizontally oriented abutment plates 220 on all four outer surfaces. The abutment plates 220 have several slots 221, and the positions of the slots 221 correspond to the positions of the internal reinforcing ribs 130. The abutment plates 220 and slots 221 are designed so that when the inner basket 200 is installed inside the outer basket 100, it cooperates with the internal reinforcing ribs 130 to restrict the horizontal movement of the inner basket 200 and improve the stability of the assembly.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, specifically, L-shaped abutments 140 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the inner basket 100. When the inner basket 200 is inserted into the outer basket 100, the abutments 140 abut against the edge of the outer peripheral surface of the inner basket 200. The L-shaped abutments 140 can position and support the inner basket 200 when it is inserted into the outer basket 100, preventing the inner basket 200 from shifting inside the outer basket 100.

[0039] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the outer basket 100 has a first protruding edge 110 at its top outer perimeter, and the inner basket 200 has a second protruding edge 210 at its top outer perimeter. When the inner basket 200 is inserted into the outer basket 100, the second protruding edge 210 overlaps with the first protruding edge 110. The overlapping design of the first protruding edge 110 and the second protruding edge 210 increases the contact area between the top of the inner basket 200 and the top of the outer basket 100, further improving the structural stability of the combined structure, and also making it easier to observe whether the inner basket 200 is correctly installed.

[0040] like Figures 1-3As shown, it is worth noting that the outer basket 100 has a first lifting opening 160 at the top of its left and right end faces, and the inner basket 200 has a second lifting opening 240 at the top of its left and right end faces. When the inner basket 200 is inserted into the outer basket 100, the first lifting opening 160 and the second lifting opening 240 are aligned. The first lifting opening 160 and the second lifting opening 240 facilitate the individual handling of the outer basket 100 and the inner basket 200. When used together, the aligned lifting openings make the handling operation more convenient and ensure that the baskets are subjected to even force during handling.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it is worth noting that the locking assembly 300 includes a locking tongue 310. Locking openings 150 are provided at each of the four vertical edges of the outer frame 100, and movable openings 230 are provided at each of the four vertical edges of the inner frame 200. The movable openings 230 correspond to the locking openings 150. The tip of the locking tongue 310 passes through the movable opening 230 and extends into the locking opening 150. Through the cooperation of the locking tongue 310, the movable openings 230, and the locking openings 150, the locking assembly 300 can firmly fix the inner frame 200 inside the outer frame 100, preventing separation during use and ensuring the structural reliability of the combined frame.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, furthermore, grooves 311 are provided on both the top and bottom end faces of the latch 310, and rubber plates 320 are embedded in the grooves 311. The top and bottom edges of the movable opening 230 exert pressure on the rubber plates 320, and several anti-slip ridges 321 are provided on the outer surface of the rubber plates 320. The rubber plates 320 and anti-slip ridges 321, by utilizing the elasticity of the rubber, can increase the friction between the latch 310 and the movable opening 230 under the pressure of the edge of the movable opening 230, preventing the latch 310 from sliding on its own due to vibration or other factors during use, and ensuring the stability of the locked state.

[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, it should be added that the locking tongue 310 at the end of the rubber plate 320 has an outer stop 312 on its surface, and the locking tongue 310 at the beginning of the rubber plate 320 has an inner stop 313 on its surface. The movable opening 230 is located between the outer stop 312 and the inner stop 313. When the locking assembly 300 is moved to insert the beginning of the locking tongue 310 into the locking opening 150, the inner stop 313 abuts against the outer surface of the inner basket 200. When the locking assembly 300 is moved outward to abut the inner stop 313 against the inner wall of the outer basket 100, the beginning of the locking tongue 310 disengages from the locking opening 150. The outer stop 312 and the inner stop 313 provide limits for the sliding of the locking tongue 310, clearly defining the position of the locking tongue 310 when it is inserted into and disengaged from the locking port 150. At the same time, during the insertion and disengagement of the locking tongue 310, by abutting against the outer surface of the inner basket 200 or the inner wall of the outer basket 100, the accuracy and stability of the operation are further ensured.

[0044] In this embodiment, the reinforced plastic basket compression-resistant structure is used by first determining whether to combine the inner basket 200 with the outer basket 100 based on actual needs. If combination is required, align the inner basket 200 with the outer basket 100, so that the insertion port 221 of the abutment plate 220 on the inner basket 200 corresponds to the internal reinforcing rib 130 of the outer basket 100, and simultaneously, the movable opening 230 of the inner basket 200 corresponds to the locking opening 150 of the outer basket 100. Slowly insert the inner basket 200 into the outer basket 100 until the second protruding edge 210 of the inner basket 200 overlaps the first protruding edge 110 of the outer basket 100. At this point, the L-shaped abutment block 140 abuts against the outer peripheral surface edge of the inner basket 200, completing the initial contact. First, position the device; then, move the locking tongue 310 of the locking assembly 300 so that the head end of the locking tongue 310 passes through the movable opening 230 and extends into the locking opening 150 until the inner side 313 abuts against the outer surface of the inner basket 200, thus completing the locking and fixing of the inner basket 200 and the outer basket 100; next, the assembled plastic basket can be transported and loaded with items through the aligned first lifting opening 160 and second lifting opening 240; finally, when it is necessary to separate the inner basket 200 and the outer basket 100, move the locking assembly 300 outward so that the inner side 313 abuts against the inner wall of the outer basket 100, and the head end of the locking tongue 310 disengages from the locking opening 150, so that the inner basket 200 can be taken out from the outer basket 100.

[0045] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
