Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, specifically a foldable plastic laundry basket. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, laundry baskets are a common tool for organizing and storing clothes that are to be washed or have already been washed. They are mainly made of plastic and have the advantages of being lightweight, durable, and easy to clean, making them popular with consumers and widely used in homes, hotels, schools, and other places.

[0003] When people need to fold and store washed clothes, they need to find a flat surface, such as a table or bed. However, in real life, these surfaces are often occupied by other items and are not convenient to use directly. This makes folding clothes inconvenient, reduces the efficiency of clothing organization, and also affects the convenience of life to some extent.

[0004] The reason for this problem is that in daily home environments, beds are often covered with bedding, pillows, clothes and other personal items, and tabletops are often filled with books, stationery, decorations and other miscellaneous items. If you want to use a bed or table as a folding surface, you need to organize these items first, make enough space, and then put them back in their original positions after folding. The whole process is time-consuming, labor-intensive and cumbersome. Therefore, we propose a foldable plastic laundry basket to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] This application provides a foldable plastic laundry basket, solving the problem of needing to find a flat surface, such as a table or bed, when folding and storing washed clothes. However, in real-life scenarios, these surfaces are often occupied by other items, making them inconvenient to use directly. This causes many inconveniences for folding clothes, reduces the efficiency of clothing organization, and to some extent affects the convenience of life.

[0026] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0027] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-3 The image shows a foldable plastic laundry basket.

[0028] Example 1: Includes a basket body 1, with a handle 2 on the basket body 1. An auxiliary folding unit 3 is provided on one side of the handle 2. The auxiliary folding unit 3 includes a flip plate 31, a support rod 32, and an extension plate 33. The support rod 32 is located inside the handle 2, with one end of the support rod 32 rotatably connected to the handle 2 and the other end of the support rod 32 movably engaged with the flip plate 31. The extension plate 33 is symmetrically arranged inside the flip plate 31 and is slidably connected to the flip plate 31. The flip plate 31 on the left side of the basket body 1 is a load-bearing part, and the flip plate 31 on the right side of the basket body 1 is a folding part.

[0029] The handle 2 has a storage slot 34 inside, and the support rod 32 is movably engaged inside the storage slot 34. A magnetic sheet is fixedly installed on the side of the flip plate 31 near the handle 2. The flip plate 31 is magnetically connected to the handle 2 through the magnetic sheet. A rotating column 35 is rotatably connected inside the storage slot 34. The rotating column 35 is fixedly engaged with the flip plate 31. A locking block 36 is fixedly installed at the end of the support rod 32. A slot 37 is opened on one side of the flip plate 31. The locking block 36 is movably engaged inside the slot 37. A gripping strip 38 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the extension plate 33.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the auxiliary folding unit 3 is needed, the flip plate 31 is first flipped open from the handle 2 via the hinge 4 around the rotation axis 43. At this time, the support rod 32 stored in the storage groove 34 inside the handle 2 rotates out, and the locking block 36 at the end of the support rod 32 is engaged in the locking groove 37 of the flip plate 31, so that the flip plate 31 is stably supported. Next, according to the size of the clothes to be folded, the user pulls the extension plate 33 through the grip bar 38, so that the extension plate 33 slides in the flip plate 31, thereby adjusting the size of the folding platform. After adjustment, the folded clothes are placed on the left flip plate 31 of the basket 1 as the bearing part, and the right flip plate 31 is used as the folding part for folding clothes. After completing the folding of clothes, first retract the extension plate 33 into the flip plate 31, then remove the support rod 32 from the slot 37 of the flip plate 31 and store it in the storage slot 34 inside the handle 2. Finally, attach the flip plate 31 to the handle 2 with the magnetic sheet to restore the laundry basket to its initial state for easy storage and carrying.

[0031] The extension plate 33 is narrower on the side closer to the gripping bar 38 and wider on the side farther from the gripping bar 38. The inner wall of the flip plate 31 has a narrow-wide structure from left to right, so that when the wider part of the extension plate 33 comes into contact with the narrower part of the flip plate 31, it will be stuck, thus preventing the extension plate 33 from falling off the flip plate 31.

[0032] This utility model discloses a foldable plastic laundry basket. More specifically, based on Embodiment 1, it is provided according to the attached... Figure 1 ,4 As shown.

[0033] Example 2: A hinge 4 is provided on the top of the handle 2 and the flip plate 31. The hinge 4 includes a first fixing plate 41, a second fixing plate 42 and a rotating shaft 43. The first fixing plate 41 is provided on the handle 2. The second fixing plate 42 is provided on the flip plate 31. The rotating shaft 43 is provided between the first fixing plate 41 and the second fixing plate 42. The hinge 4 also includes a first sleeve 44, a second sleeve 45 and a bolt 46.

[0034] The first sleeve 44 is fitted onto both sides of the rotating shaft 43 and is fixedly assembled with the first fixing plate 41; the second sleeve 45 is fitted onto the middle part of the rotating shaft 43 and is fixedly assembled with the second fixing plate 42; the bolt 46 is set inside the first fixing plate 41 and the second fixing plate 42 and is threadedly engaged with the handle 2 and the flip plate 31 respectively.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first fixing plate 41 of the hinge 4 is mounted on the handle 2, and the second fixing plate 42 is mounted on the flip plate 31. The rotating shaft 43 passes through the first fixing plate 41 and the second fixing plate 42, and is fixedly assembled with the first fixing plate 41 by first sleeves 44 on both sides, and fixedly assembled with the second fixing plate 42 by second sleeves 45 in the middle. This structural design allows the flip plate 31 to rotate flexibly around the rotating shaft 43. The bolts 46 are located inside the first fixing plate 41 and the second fixing plate 42, respectively threaded with the handle 2 and the flip plate 31, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the hinge 4. When the hinge 4 malfunctions or needs to be replaced, it can be quickly repaired and replaced, ensuring the normal use of the laundry basket auxiliary folding unit 3.

[0036] 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 illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
