Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities, and in particular to a storage basket and cabinet with a self-stopping limit mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Baskets are used to hold items, and for convenience, most households now install storage baskets. After the storage basket is filled with items, it can be rotated to different angles so that people can directly take out the items they need.

[0003] However, current storage baskets on the market continue to rotate a distance due to inertia when they reach the location of the desired condiments. They may even overshoot the target location due to excessive rotation speed, requiring users to repeatedly adjust to accurately retrieve the condiments. This not only wastes time but also reduces efficiency. Furthermore, this rotation method makes it impossible to precisely control the stopping position and speed of the basket, increasing the risk of collisions with other components. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. This utility model provides a storage basket with a self-stop limiting mechanism. By setting the self-stop limiting mechanism, which cooperates with the T-block, the basket can reduce its speed or even stop at a specified angle after rotating to a specified position, thereby reducing the risk of the cabinet door colliding with the basket when the user closes the cabinet door after the basket is installed at a corner position.

[0005] Accordingly, this utility model proposes a storage basket with a self-stop limiting mechanism, the storage basket comprising: a basket frame, a support mechanism and a self-stop limiting mechanism;

[0006] The self-stop limiting mechanism includes: a mounting housing, a limiting ring, and an arc-shaped block. The mounting housing has a mounting cavity, and the arc-shaped block and the limiting ring...

[0007] The arc-shaped block is installed inside the mounting housing, and the arc surface of the arc-shaped block abuts against the limiting ring; the limiting ring;

[0008] The self-stop limiting mechanism is installed at the bottom of the basket, and the support mechanism is provided with a T-shaped block that cooperates with the self-stop limiting mechanism. The side of the T-shaped block near the self-stop limiting mechanism is recessed to form a limiting groove.

[0009] The limiting ring, driven by the basket, is adapted to abut against the T-block.

[0010] Preferably, the T-shaped block has two arc-shaped protrusions, which are located at both ends of the limiting slot.

[0011] Preferably, the self-stop limiting mechanism further includes a return spring, which is installed on the side of the arc-shaped block away from the limiting ring. One end of the return spring is connected to the arc-shaped block, and the other end of the return spring is connected to the mounting housing.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the basket has a pivot at its center, and the pivot is rotatably inserted into the support mechanism;

[0013] The rotating shaft has a mounting groove, and a locking ring is fitted inside the mounting groove.

[0014] Preferably, the outer wall of the locking ring is provided with an L-shaped platform and two limiting truncated cones, with the L-shaped platform located between the two limiting truncated cones.

[0015] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a rotating sleeve and multiple support rods, one end of each support rod being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve, and the rotating shaft being rotatably inserted into the rotating sleeve.

[0016] Preferably, the support mechanism further includes multiple connecting frames, with the other end of any of the support arms connected to the corresponding connecting frame.

[0017] Preferably, the connecting frame is provided with multiple mounting holes, which are distributed in a preset position.

[0018] Preferably, the basket can be fan-shaped or rectangular.

[0019] This utility model also proposes a cabinet, which includes a storage basket with a self-stop limiting mechanism as described above and multiple assembled side panels. The storage basket with the self-stop limiting mechanism is fixedly connected to the corresponding assembled side panel based on the support mechanism.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] This invention features a self-stop limiting mechanism and a T-block on a storage basket. The self-stop limiting mechanism works in conjunction with the T-block to reduce speed or even bring the basket to a stop at a specified angle after rotation to a designated position, reducing the risk of collision between the basket and the cabinet door when the user closes it at a corner. Furthermore, the T-block has an arc-shaped limiting groove. When this groove abuts against a limiting ring, it increases the contact area between the T-block and the limiting ring, thereby increasing the friction between them. This friction reduces the basket's rotation speed or brings it to a stop at a corresponding angle. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Figure 1 This diagram shows the structure of the storage basket with a self-stopping limit mechanism according to the present invention. Figure 2 An exploded view of the storage basket with a self-stopping limit mechanism according to this invention is shown. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the self-stopping limit mechanism in this utility model is shown. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the locking ring in this utility model is shown. Figure 5 An exploded view of the support mechanism in this invention is shown. Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the T-shaped block in this utility model is shown. The storage basket includes: a basket 1, a support mechanism 2, and a self-stop limiting mechanism 3. The self-stop limiting mechanism 3 includes: a mounting shell 31, a limiting ring 32, and an arc-shaped block 33. The mounting shell 31 has a mounting cavity. The arc-shaped block 33 is installed inside the mounting shell 31, and the arc surface of the arc-shaped block 33 abuts against the limiting ring 32. The limiting ring 32 moves under the drive of the arc-shaped block 33. The self-stop limiting mechanism 3 is installed at the bottom of the basket 1. The support mechanism 2 is provided with a T-shaped block 23 that cooperates with the self-stop limiting mechanism 3. The side of the T-shaped block 23 closest to the self-stop limiting mechanism 3 is recessed to form a limiting groove 231. The limiting ring 32 is driven by the basket 1 to abut against the T-shaped block 23. In this embodiment, a portion of the limiting ring 32 is located inside the mounting housing 31, and a portion is located outside the mounting housing 31. The portion of the limiting ring 32 inside the mounting housing 31 abuts against the arc surface of the arc-shaped block 33, and the portion of the limiting ring 32 outside the mounting housing 31 is adapted to abut against the T-shaped block 23. The T-shaped block 23 is used to cooperate with the limiting ring 32. When the limiting groove 231 on the T-shaped block 23 abuts against the limiting ring 32, it increases the contact area between the T-shaped block 23 and the limiting ring 32, thereby increasing the friction between the T-shaped block 23 and the limiting ring 32. This friction reduces the rotational speed of the basket 1 or keeps the basket 1 stationary at a corresponding angle. When the corresponding portion of the limiting ring 32 is engaged with the limiting groove 231, the limiting ring 32 and the T-block 23 are relatively stationary. Since the limiting ring 32 and the T-block 23 are relatively stationary, the self-stopping limiting mechanism 3 is also relatively stationary with respect to the T-block 23. Therefore, the entire basketball hoop 1 is relatively stationary with respect to the T-block 23. When the limiting ring 32 abuts against the limiting groove 231, the basketball hoop 1 rotates under force, causing the self-stopping limiting mechanism 3 to rotate. This causes the limiting ring 32 to disengage from the T-block 23, resulting in no contact between the self-stopping limiting mechanism 3 and the T-block 23, i.e., zero friction, ensuring that the basketball hoop 1 can rotate smoothly. It can be seen that the self-stopping limit mechanism 3 cooperates with the T-block 23 to reduce the speed or even stop at the specified angle after the basket 1 rotates to the specified position, thereby reducing the risk of the basket colliding with other components when the basket is installed at the corner position, that is, reducing the risk of the cabinet door colliding with the basket after the user closes the cabinet door.

[0032] It should be noted that after the self-stop limiting mechanism 3 abuts against the limiting slot 231 in the T-block 23, the basket 1 is temporarily fixed in the corresponding position. When the basket 1 is subjected to force again, it can still rotate 360°. In other words, after the self-stop limiting mechanism 3 rotates the basket 1 to the corresponding angle, it temporarily stops at the corresponding angle, making it convenient for users to take things out of the basket 1 from this angle or reducing the risk of the storage basket colliding with other components.

[0033] Furthermore, the T-block 23 has two arc-shaped protrusions 232 located at both ends of the limiting groove 231, forming a wavy sidewall near the self-stop limiting mechanism 3. This wavy sidewall provides more precise positioning. When the T-block 23 moves within the limiting groove 231, the arc-shaped protrusions 232 can form a tight fit with specific positions at both ends of the groove. This fit allows the T-block 23 to stop quickly and accurately upon reaching the limiting position, avoiding minor slippage or offset that might occur with ordinary planar structures, thus ensuring the positioning accuracy of the self-stop limiting mechanism 3.

[0034] It should be noted that the T-block 23 has a fixing hole, and the connecting component can be a screw. The screw tightly fixes the limiting T-block 23 to the support mechanism 2. The screw preload causes friction between the limiting T-block 23 and the contact surface of the support mechanism 2, forming a rigid connection. This prevents the limiting T-block 23 from sliding along the surface of the support arm 22 due to uneven force, which helps to stabilize the limiting T-block 23 in the corresponding position.

[0035] Furthermore, the self-stop limiting mechanism 3 also includes a return spring 34. The return spring 34 is installed on the side of the arc-shaped block 33 away from the limiting ring 32. One end of the return spring 34 is connected to the arc-shaped block 33, and the other end of the return spring 34 is connected to the mounting housing 31. When the limiting ring 32 moves to the position of the arc-shaped protrusion 232 corresponding to the T-shaped block 23, and the limiting ring 32 moves along the surface of the arc-shaped protrusion 232, the arc-shaped protrusion 232 exerts a force on the limiting ring 32, causing the limiting ring 32 to move towards the arc-shaped block 33 first. During this process, the limiting ring 32 pushes the arc-shaped block 33 towards the return spring 34, and the arc-shaped block 33 compresses the return spring 34, so that the return spring 34 has a certain elastic potential energy. When the limiting ring 32 moves to the junction of the arc-shaped protrusion 232 and the limiting groove 231, the reset spring 34 releases its stored elastic potential energy, exerting a reaction force on the arc-shaped block 33, pushing the arc-shaped block 33. The arc-shaped block 33 pushes the limiting ring 32 toward the root of the limiting groove 231, ultimately causing the limiting ring 32 to abut against the root of the limiting groove 231, thus achieving self-stop.

[0036] Furthermore, the bottom center of the basket 1 has a pivot 11, which is rotatably inserted into the support mechanism 2; the pivot 11 has a mounting groove, and a locking ring 12 is fitted inside the mounting groove. In this embodiment, the top of the pivot 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the basket 1, and the pivot 11 is rotatably inserted into the support mechanism 2, so that the basket 1 can rotate at a specified height. The locking ring 12 is used to restrict the rotating shaft 11 to a fixed position. The inner wall of the locking ring 12 is engaged with the mounting groove on the rotating shaft 11, and the outer side of the locking ring 12 is connected to the support mechanism 2. This allows the locking ring 12 to act as a connecting part 221 to connect the rotating shaft 11 to the support mechanism 2, preventing the rotating shaft 11 from rotating when the basket 1 is subjected to force. When the rotating shaft 11 rotates, it generates inertial force. If the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 11 changes too quickly, the inertial force may cause the rotating shaft 11 to move axially, resulting in the basket 1 moving up and down axially. This helps to restrict the rotation to the corresponding position and reduce the risk of the basket 1 moving up and down.

[0037] Furthermore, the outer wall of the locking ring 12 is provided with an L-shaped platform 121 and two limiting frustums 122, with the L-shaped platform 121 located between the two limiting frustums 122. The two limiting frustums 122 are used to engage with the support mechanism 2, and the L-shaped platform 121 is also used to engage with the support mechanism 2. Engaging with the support mechanism 2 from three positions, this multi-position engagement design constructs a more rigorous and stable constraint system. The synergistic effect of the three positions greatly increases the vertical movement resistance of the support mechanism 2, effectively reducing the phenomenon of vertical movement and ensuring the stability and reliability of the basketball hoop 1.

[0038] It should be noted that the surface of the L-shaped platform 121 is coated with lubricating oil. The lubricating oil forms a continuous oil film between the connecting boss and the mating surface, which transforms direct contact into fluid friction, reduces the impact of surface roughness on the smoothness of movement, and the lubricating oil can reduce frictional resistance during assembly, while preventing damage to components caused by adhesion during disassembly.

[0039] Furthermore, the support mechanism 2 includes a rotating sleeve 21 and multiple support rods. One end of each support rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 21, and the rotating shaft 11 is rotatably inserted into the rotating sleeve 21. In this embodiment, the support mechanism 2 includes two support rods, one end of which is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating sleeve 21. The angle of the support rods can be reasonably adjusted according to the specific usage scenario and load requirements. This ensures that the support structure is sufficiently stable and can effectively withstand various forces generated during equipment operation, while optimizing the overall layout of the storage basket and reducing the risk of collisions between the support rods and other components.

[0040] Furthermore, the support mechanism 2 also includes multiple connecting frames 24, with the other end of any one of the support arms 22 connected to the corresponding connecting frame 24. In this embodiment, the support mechanism 2 also includes two connecting frames 24, which are fixedly connected to the corresponding carriers. Each support arm 22 has a connecting portion 221 at its other end, and the support arm 22 is connected to the connecting frame 24 based on the connecting portion 221. The connecting portion 221 is a rectangular plate, and two connecting hooks 2211 are provided on the side of the rectangular plate closest to the connecting frame 24. Each connecting hook 2211 hooks onto the corresponding position of the connecting frame 24, so that the entire support arm 22 can be fixed at the corresponding height to support the basket 1 at the corresponding height.

[0041] Furthermore, the connecting frame 24 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 241, which are distributed in a preset position. In this embodiment, the connecting frame 24 is provided with eight mounting holes 241, which are located on the same straight line. The eight mounting holes 241 are divided into four groups, with two mounting holes 241 in each group. The distance between the mounting holes 241 in the same group is equal to the distance between the two connecting hooks 2211 on the rectangular plate, ensuring that the connecting hooks 2211 can hook onto the corresponding mounting holes 241, so that the entire support arm 22 can be fixed at the corresponding height to support the basket 1 at the corresponding height.

[0042] Furthermore, the basket 1 can be fan-shaped or rectangular. In this embodiment, the basket 1 can be fan-shaped or rectangular, with different shapes selected according to different usage scenarios. When the basket 1 is fan-shaped, the fan-shaped structure can fit corners or irregular spaces, reducing edge waste, and is especially suitable for maximizing storage area utilization in limited spaces. The curved edges of the fan-shaped basket 1 can reduce sharp corners, avoiding bumps or scratches, and improving safety. When the basket 1 is rectangular, the rectangular structure can make full use of planar space, perfectly fitting the right-angled edges of most storage environments, reducing space waste. The rectangular frame and right-angle design can effectively distribute pressure, reduce local stress concentration, enhance overall load-bearing capacity, and thus strengthen the service life of the rectangular frame.

[0043] This utility model also proposes a cabinet, which includes a storage basket with a self-stop limiting mechanism 3 as described above and multiple assembled side panels. The storage basket with the self-stop limiting mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the corresponding assembled side panel based on the support mechanism 2. In this embodiment, the adjustable storage basket is disposed in the cabinet, which includes four side panels and one bottom panel. The four side panels are divided into two long panels and two short panels. The four side panels and the bottom panel form a cabinet, which houses the storage basket with the self-stop limiting mechanism 3.

[0044] In summary, this utility model, by incorporating a self-stop limiting mechanism and a T-block on a storage basket with a self-stop limiting mechanism, allows the basket to slow down or even stop at a specified angle after rotating to a designated position. This reduces the risk of collision between the cabinet door and the basket when the user closes the cabinet door when the storage basket is installed at a corner. Furthermore, this utility model features an arc-shaped limiting groove on the T-block. When the limiting groove on the T-block abuts against the limiting ring, it increases the contact area between the T-block and the limiting ring, thereby increasing the friction between them. This friction reduces the basket's rotation speed or keeps it stationary at a corresponding angle.

[0045] Furthermore, the above description provides a detailed introduction to a storage basket and cabinet with a self-stopping limit mechanism provided by the embodiments of this utility model. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
