Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of item storage and placement, specifically to a retractable bedside hanging basket. Background Technology
[0002] Existing shelving units are generally bulky. Although some shelving units have folding capabilities, they are still quite thick after folding and not lightweight enough. If used for bedside storage, they can still take up a lot of bedside space after folding. Utility Model Content
[0003] Based on the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a retractable bedside hanging basket that is simple in structure, easy to manufacture, and lightweight when folded.
[0004] To address the above problems, the following technical solution is provided: a retractable bedside hanging basket, comprising a vertically arranged back panel, with main hinge ears protruding outwards in the front direction on both sides of the upper end of the back panel, and a horizontally opened positioning groove on the back panel below the main hinge ears; it also includes a main board vertically arranged in front of the back panel, with a positioning ear at the upper end and secondary hinge ears protruding outwards in the front direction on both sides of the lower end; a hanging support arm is hinged to the main hinge ear, and the lower end of the support arm is hinged to the secondary hinge ear; the main board has a secondary plate that can slide along its plane; after the lower end of the support arm swings upwards in front of the back panel, the upper end of the main board swings downwards in rear of the back panel, and the positioning ear is inserted into the positioning groove to fix the main board in a horizontal state.
[0005] The present invention is further configured such that both sides of the motherboard are provided with rolled edges, each rolled edge including an upper folded edge connected to the side of the motherboard, the end of the upper folded edge being bent towards another rolled edge to form a top edge, and the end of the top edge being bent towards the surface of the motherboard to form a lower folded edge; a sliding groove is formed between the upper folded edge, the top edge and the lower folded edge, and a sliding gap connected to the sliding groove is formed between the end of the lower folded edge and the surface of the motherboard; both sides of the sub-board are located within the sliding gap and are provided with sliding edges that are adapted to slide with the sliding groove.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that, with the main board in a vertical position as a reference, the vertical length of the sliding edge is greater than the vertical length of the rolled edge, and the vertical length of the main board is less than the vertical length of the sub-board.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that, with the main board in a horizontal position as a reference, the rolled edge is located above the main board, the sliding edge is bent towards the upper part of the sub-board and the end of the sliding edge facing the back plate is provided with a recessed groove; the two main hinge ears are hinged to the two arms by hinge pins, and the ends of the hinge pins facing each other are provided with locking pins; when the main board and sub-board are folded back to the vertical position, the groove is hung on the locking pin to restrict the sub-board from sliding down due to its own weight.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that, with the main board in a horizontal state as a reference, the sliding edge in front of the slot is provided with a folding limiting member, and when the sub-plate extends outward, the limiting member abuts against the rear end of the rolled edge to limit its sliding distance.
[0009] The present invention is further provided that the upper end of the back plate is provided with a hook formed by folding backward.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the positioning groove is composed of several segments, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the back plate; the positioning ears are equal in number to the positioning grooves and are correspondingly arranged.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. In the folded state, the support arm, main board, and sub-board are all vertically arranged, with an overall thickness controllable to approximately 10mm, resulting in excellent compactness. When unfolding, the lower end of the support arm is swung outwards, and the sub-board follows the main board, swinging backwards or downwards along the hinge point, with the positioning ears inserted into the positioning slots on the back panel. At this time, the main board and sub-board are in a horizontal state. When loaded, the support arm bears tensile stress, and the main board bears compressive stress, which acts vertically on the front of the back panel to prevent the positioning ears from separating from the positioning slots. In the unfolded state, the sub-board slides along the plane of the main board to increase the loading area. 2. The secondary plate is guided to slide through the groove and sliding gap, so that the secondary plate can extend outward in the unfolded state; the rolled edge is integrated with the main plate and is formed by bending; the sliding edge is integrated with the secondary plate and is formed by bending. Therefore, during production, it is only necessary to cut the corresponding material and then form it by bending process, which is simple process. 3. With the main board in a vertical position as a reference, the vertical length of the secondary board should be the same as the height of the back board, so as to maximize the effective carrying area of the secondary board while ensuring compact storage. 4. The rolled and sliding edges can create a shielding effect on both sides of the main board and the sub-board to prevent objects from rolling off. When the storage state is in progress, the support arm, main board, and sub-board are all vertically supported by their own weight and hang down. The downward center of gravity of the support arm forces the main board and sub-board to be close to the back panel. At this time, the locking pin can restrict the upper part of the main board and sub-board from swinging outward while preventing the sub-board from sliding down due to its own weight. 5. Hooks can be hung on the side of the bed; if no hooks are installed, the back panel can be fixed by making mounting holes or using nail-free adhesive. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0025] refer to Figures 1 to 11 ,like Figures 1 to 11The retractable bedside hanging basket shown includes a vertically arranged back panel 10. The back panel 10 has main hinge ears 11 protruding outwards in the front direction on both sides of its upper end. Below the main hinge ears 11, the back panel 10 also has horizontally opened positioning grooves 12. It also includes a main board 20 vertically arranged in front of the back panel 10. The main board 20 has positioning ears 21 at its upper end and secondary hinge ears 22 protruding outwards in the front direction on both sides of its lower end. The main hinge ears 11 are hinged to a downwardly arranged support arm 30, the lower end of which is hinged to the secondary hinge ears 22. The main board 20 has a secondary plate 40 that can slide along its plane. After the lower end of the support arm 30 swings upwards in front of the back panel 10, the upper end of the main board 20 swings downwards behind the back panel 10, causing the positioning ears 21 to insert into the positioning grooves 12, thus fixing the main board 20 in a horizontal state.
[0026] In the above structure, when folded up, the support arm 30, main board 20, and secondary board 40 are all vertically arranged, and the overall thickness can be controlled to about 10mm (for reference). Figure 1 It has excellent compactness; when it needs to be deployed, the lower end of the support arm 30 is swung outward (see reference). Figure 2 At the same time, the sub-board 40 follows the main board 20 as it swings back or down along the hinge point (see reference). Figure 5 And insert the positioning ear 21 into the positioning slot 12 of the back plate 10. At this time, the main board 20 and the sub-board 40 are in a horizontal state (see reference). Figure 6 In the loaded state, the support arm 30 bears tensile stress, and the main board 20 bears compressive stress, which acts perpendicularly on the front of the back plate 10 to prevent the positioning ear 21 from separating from the positioning groove 12; in the unfolded state, the auxiliary plate 40 slides along the plane of the main board 20 to increase the loading area (see reference). Figure 6 ).
[0027] In this embodiment, both sides of the main board 20 are provided with rolled edges 23. The rolled edges 23 include an upper folded edge 231 connected to the side of the main board 20. The end of the upper folded edge 231 is bent towards the other rolled edge 23 to form a top edge 232. The end of the top edge 232 is bent towards the surface of the main board 20 to form a lower folded edge 233. A sliding groove 234 is formed between the upper folded edge 231, the top edge 232 and the lower folded edge 233. A sliding gap 235 connected to the sliding groove 234 is formed between the end of the lower folded edge 233 and the surface of the main board 20. Both sides of the sub-board 40 are located within the sliding gap 235 and are provided with sliding edges 41 that are adapted to slide with the sliding groove 234.
[0028] In the above structure, the sliding groove 234 and sliding gap 235 guide the sliding of the sub-plate 40, so that the sub-plate 40 can extend outward in the unfolded state; the rolled edge 23 is integrally connected to the main plate 20 and is formed by bending; the sliding edge 41 is integrally connected to the sub-plate 40 and is formed by bending. Therefore, during production, it is only necessary to cut the corresponding material and then form it by bending process, which is simple.
[0029] In this embodiment, with the main board 20 in a vertical position as a reference, the vertical length L1 of the sliding edge 41 (marked in the horizontal position in the figure) is greater than the vertical length L2 of the rolled edge 23 (marked in the horizontal position in the figure), and the vertical length L3 of the main board 20 (marked in the horizontal position in the figure) is less than the vertical length L4 of the sub-board 40 (marked in the horizontal position in the figure).
[0030] In the above structure, with the main board 20 in a vertical position as a reference, the vertical length L4 of the sub-board 40 is the same as the vertical height L5 of the back board 10, so as to maximize the effective carrying area of the sub-board 40 while ensuring compact storage.
[0031] In this embodiment, with the main board 20 in a horizontal state as a reference, the rolled edge 23 is located above the main board 20, the sliding edge 41 is bent towards the upper direction of the sub-board 40, and the end of the sliding edge 41 facing the back plate 10 is provided with a recessed groove 411; the two main hinge ears 11 are hinged to the two support arms 30 by hinge pins 50, and the ends of the hinge pins 50 facing each other are provided with locking pins 51; when the main board 20 and the sub-board 40 are folded back to the vertical state, the groove 411 is hung on the locking pin 51 to restrict the sub-board 40 from sliding down due to its own weight.
[0032] In the above structure, the rolled edge 23 and the sliding edge 41 can form a shielding effect on both sides of the main board 20 and the sub-board 40 to prevent objects from rolling off; in the storage state, the support arm 30, the main board 20, and the sub-board 40 all hang vertically by their own weight. The downward center of gravity of the support arm 30 forces the main board 20 and the sub-board 40 close to the back panel 10. At this time, the locking pin 51 can restrict the outward swing of the upper part of the main board 20 and the sub-board 40 while preventing the sub-board 40 from sliding down due to its own weight (see in sequence). Figure 9 , Figure 8 , Figure 7 ).
[0033] In this embodiment, with the main board 20 in a horizontal state as a reference, the sliding edge 41 in front of the slot 411 is provided with a folding limiting member 412. When the sub-plate 40 slides out, the limiting member 412 abuts against the rear end of the rolled edge 23 to limit its sliding distance.
[0034] In the above structure, the lack of a limit switch prevents the sub-board 40 from separating directly from the main board 20 when it slides out.
[0035] In this embodiment, the upper end of the back plate 10 is provided with a hook 13 that is folded backward.
[0036] In the above structure, the hook 13 can be hung on the side of the bed; if the hook 13 is not provided, the back panel 10 can be fixed by opening mounting holes (not shown in the figure) or by using nail-free adhesive.
[0037] In this embodiment, the positioning groove 12 is composed of several segments, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the back plate 10; the positioning ears 21 are equal in number to the positioning groove 12 and are arranged accordingly.
[0038] In the above structure, the segmented positioning grooves 12 can ensure the strength of the back plate 10, and at the same time make the engagement between the main board 20 and the back plate 10 more stable.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model. These improvements and modifications assumed above should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
