[0026] To more clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to explain the solution.

[0027] See Figures 1-9 A folding fruit and vegetable turnover basket includes a front panel 1 and a back panel 2. It is characterized in that it also includes a side panel assembly 3 with both ends hinged to the edges of the front panel 1 and the back panel 2 respectively, a bottom plate 4 hinged to the bottom edge of the front panel 1, and a top plate 5 with one end hinged to the top edge of the back panel 2. The side panel assembly 3 includes two folded and connected plates 31 and 32. Plate 31 is hinged to the front panel 1, and plate 32 is hinged to the back panel 2.

[0028] Specifically, the front panel 1 and back panel 2 are rectangular plate structures, preferably made of plastic or metal, and feature reinforcing ribs for sufficient strength and lightweight. Panel 1 31 and panel 2 32 are connected by a folding mechanism (such as a hinge or flap), allowing the side panel assembly 3 to fold inwards, thus reducing the volume of the turnover basket. A retaining strip 312 is provided on the edge of panel 1 31, and a corresponding positioning groove 322 is provided on the edge of panel 2 32. When the side panel assembly 3 is unfolded, the retaining strip 312 abuts against the positioning groove 322, achieving positioning and ensuring that panel 1 31 and panel 2 32 are on the same plane.

[0029] One end of the base plate 4 is detachably in contact with the bottom edge of the back plate 2, and the other end of the base plate 4 is provided with a hook 41. The bottom end of the back plate 2 is provided with a slot 21, and the hook 41 of the base plate 4 in one folding fruit and vegetable turnover basket is detachably connected with the slot 21 of the back plate 2 in the adjacent folding fruit and vegetable turnover basket; the other end of the top plate 5 is detachably in contact with the front panel 1, and the edge of the top plate 5 is provided with a hook 51. The top end of the back plate 2 is provided with a slot 22, and the hook 51 of the top plate 5 in one folding fruit and vegetable turnover basket is detachably connected with the slot 22 of the back plate 2 in the adjacent folding fruit and vegetable turnover basket.

[0030] When the turnover basket is unfolded, the base plate 4 is placed horizontally to support the fruits and vegetables. A hook 41 is provided at the other end of the base plate 4, and a slot 21 is provided at the bottom end of the back plate 2. When multiple turnover baskets are used side-by-side, the hook 41 of the base plate 4 of one turnover basket can hook into the slot 21 of the back plate 2 of the adjacent turnover basket, achieving a horizontal connection and preventing slippage during side-by-side use. Similarly, the hook 51 of the top plate 5 of one turnover basket can hook into the slot 22 of the back plate 2 of the adjacent turnover basket, further enhancing stacking stability.

[0031] The bottom side of the back plate 2 is provided with a support platform 23 for supporting the top plate 5, the bottom side of the plate 31 is provided with a support platform 311 for supporting the top plate 5, and the bottom side of the plate 32 is provided with a support platform 321 for supporting the top plate 5.

[0032] A handle hole 11 is provided through the side of the front panel 1, and a handle 42 is provided on the side of the bottom plate 4. The handle 42 is detachably embedded in the handle hole 11.

[0033] A permanent magnet 12 is provided on the top side of the front panel 1, and a permanent magnet 52 corresponding to the permanent magnet 12 is provided on the edge of the top plate 5. The permanent magnet 12 and the permanent magnet 52 can be detachably attracted together. When the top plate 5 is closed, the permanent magnet 12 and the permanent magnet 52 are attracted together to prevent the top plate 5 from being opened accidentally.

[0034] The top plate 5 has a second handle hole 53 on its side, and the back plate 2 has a third handle hole 24 on its side.

[0035] Understandably, when the crate is folded, the handle 42 can be inserted into the handle hole 11 for easy fixing and handling. The top plate 5 has a second handle hole 53 on its side, and the back plate 2 has a third handle hole 24 on its side, which not only facilitates the rotation of the plates but also provides additional handling points.

[0036] The edge of plate 31 is provided with a stop strip 312, and the edge of plate 32 is provided with a positioning groove 322. The stop strip 312 and the positioning groove 322 can be separated and abutted.

[0037] The specific working process of this utility model:

[0038] When in use, unfold the turnover basket from the folded state: pull the front panel 1 and the back panel 2 to unfold the first panel 31 and the second panel 32 of the side panel assembly 3, and rotate the bottom panel 4 and the top panel 5 to the horizontal position. The bottom plate 4 is supported at the bottom of the turnover basket by support platform 1 23, support platform 2 311 and support platform 3 321 respectively. When multiple baskets are used side by side, the bottom plate 4 is engaged with the slot 21 of the back plate 2 of another turnover basket through hook 1 41. After being filled with fruits and vegetables, the top plate 5 is flipped over by holding the handle hole 2 53 until the top plate 5 is attracted and fixed by the permanent magnet 12 of the front panel 1 through permanent magnet 2 52. At this time, the hook 2 51 of the top plate 5 is embedded in the slot 22 on the top side of the back plate 2 next to it, completing the upper and lower connection of the two adjacent fruit and vegetable turnover baskets. At this time, the turnover baskets can be moved at the same time. Furthermore, universal wheels can be set at the bottom of the turnover basket to further improve the efficiency of turnover basket movement. The connection of the turnover baskets is safe and reliable, and the movement is more convenient and faster.

[0039] With the side panel assembly 3 folding to the front panel 1 and back panel 2 respectively, the overall structure is simple and occupies less space. The turnover basket is easy and quick to fold and unfold. The bottom plate 4 is equipped with a hook 41 that connects to the back panel 2 of the adjacent turnover basket, and the top plate 5 is equipped with a hook 51 that connects to the back panel 2 of the adjacent turnover basket. This allows multiple turnover baskets to be firmly connected when used side by side, which is safe and improves the convenience of storage and transportation.

[0040] The stability of the top plate 5 in the unfolded state is enhanced by the setting of support platform 1 23, support platform 2 311 and support platform 3 321. The design of handle 42 and handle hole 11 facilitates the folding and storage of the turnover basket, and also facilitates the handling of the turnover basket in the folded state. The attraction of permanent magnet 1 12 and permanent magnet 2 52 ensures that the top plate 5 is reliably connected to the front panel 1. The cooperation of baffle 312 and positioning groove 322 ensures accurate positioning of the side panel assembly 3 after folding, further improving the safety and reliability of the assembly and use of the turnover basket.
