Abstract
Description
Technical area
[0001] The present invention relates to a foldable storage container. background
[0002] Many storage bags must be kept open at all times while items are being added—especially items that need to be removed frequently. Each time you add something, you have to reopen the bag, which is inconvenient. On the other hand, conventional buckets, boxes, or the like take up a lot of space when not in use and are inconvenient to store. Because of these problems, there is a need for a storage container that solves these shortcomings. Content of the utility model
[0003] The present utility model aims to solve a technical problem, namely to provide a foldable storage container.
[0004] To solve the above problem, the present utility model is designed as follows: A foldable storage bin includes a fabric cover of the storage bin. An upper support frame is arranged on the top of the fabric cover, and a lower support frame is arranged on the bottom of the fabric cover. A lid is provided on the top of the upper support frame. The fabric cover wraps the surfaces of the upper and lower support frames and is configured for fixation. Support rods are arranged between the upper and lower support frames at the positions of the four corners. Positioning holes for receiving the support rods are provided on the inner side surfaces of the upper and lower support frames. Support feet are arranged on the bottom of the lower support frame at the positions of the four corners. Threaded rods are provided on the top of the support feet.Near the corners on the underside of the lower support frame, connecting holes are arranged to accommodate the threaded rods, with the connecting hole being connected to the positioning hole.
[0005] Preferably, a connecting band is arranged at the position between the lid and the upper support frame.
[0006] Preferably, the upper support frame comprises upper angle components, wherein four upper angle components are provided. An upper longitudinal bar is arranged at the position on the right side of the upper angle component, and an upper wide bar is arranged at the position on the bottom of the upper angle component. Both the upper longitudinal bar and the upper wide bar are each provided with two pieces. An upper terminal block is arranged at the position at the end of the upper angle component, wherein both the upper longitudinal bar and the upper wide bar fit together with the upper terminal block for fixation. A hanging hook is arranged at the middle position of the inner side surface of the upper angle component.
[0007] Preferably, the lower support frame comprises lower angle components, wherein four lower angle components are provided. A lower longitudinal bar is arranged at the position on the right side of the lower angle component, and a lower wide bar is arranged at the position on the underside of the lower angle component. Both the lower longitudinal bar and the lower wide bar are each provided with two pieces. A lower terminal block is arranged at the position at the end of the lower angle component, wherein both the lower longitudinal bar and the lower wide bar fit together with the lower terminal block for fixation. Mounting holes for swivel casters are arranged at the position on the underside of the lower angle component, which is located on both sides of the connecting hole.
[0008] The advantageous effects of the present utility model are: When the device is in use, it creates a supporting effect - if a bag or similar is hung on the inside, a supporting effect is achieved.
[0009] When not in use, all you have to do is remove the inner support poles and fold the entire device up.
[0010] The device features a simple structure, is easy to use, takes up little space when stored, and can be used for a variety of purposes. For example, the device has an open structure at the bottom: If too many or too heavy items are placed inside, there's no need to pull the inner bag upwards—you simply need to release the hanging hooks and lift the device directly.

Concrete embodiments
[0012] All features disclosed in this description or all steps in the disclosed methods or processes may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.
[0013] Any feature disclosed in this description (including all appended claims, the abstract, and the drawings) may, unless expressly stated, be replaced by another feature serving an equivalent or similar purpose. This means that, unless expressly stated, each feature is merely one example of a range of equivalent or similar features.
[0014] When describing the present utility model, it should be noted that terms such as "one end," "the other end," "outside," "top," "inside," "horizontal," "coaxial," "center," "end," "length," "outer end," etc., indicate directional or positional relationships based on the directional or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are used merely to facilitate the description of the utility model and simplify illustration, and do not suggest or imply that the devices or components mentioned must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present utility model. Furthermore, in the context of the description of the present utility model, the term "plural" means at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless expressly and specifically limited.
[0015] In the present utility model, the terms "arranged," "attached," "connected," "penetrates," "inserted," etc., unless expressly specified or limited, should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or a one-piece design; it may be a mechanical or electrical connection; it may be a direct connection or an indirect connection via an intermediate medium; or it may be an internal connection between two components or an interaction between two components, unless expressly limited. A person of ordinary skill in the art may understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model depending on the specific context.
[0016] Referring to the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. The foldable storage bucket device shown in Figure 4 includes: a storage bin cover 101, wherein an upper support frame 102 is arranged on the top side of the storage bin cover 101, a lower support frame 103 is arranged on the underside of the storage bin cover 101, a lid 104 is arranged on the top side of the upper support frame 102, the storage bin cover 101 envelops the surfaces of the upper support frame 102 and the lower support frame 103 and forms a fixation, support rods 106 are arranged between the upper support frame 102 and the lower support frame 103 at the four corners, positioning holes for adapting to the support rods 106 are arranged on the inner surfaces of the upper support frame 102 and the lower support frame 103, support feet 107 are arranged at the four corners on the underside of the lower support frame 103, threaded rods 108 are arranged on the top side of the support feet 107,and on the underside of the lower support frame 103, near the corner points, connecting holes 109 are arranged for adaptation to the threaded rods 108, the connecting holes 109 being connected to the positioning holes.
[0017] This device uses support frames at the top and bottom, allowing both the top and bottom to be open. If the inner bag is overfilled or too heavy, unlike conventional structures, you don't have to simply pull the bag upwards—a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Instead, with this device, you simply release the hanging hooks and then lift the entire device to completely remove the inner bag.
[0018] This device can be used in various situations, for example as a temporary storage bucket or as a container to support bags, etc.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a connecting band 105 is arranged between the cover 104 and the upper support frame 102.
[0020] The arrangement of the lid can effectively keep out dust if the device is to be stored in one place for a longer period of time.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper support frame 102 comprises four upper corner angle blocks 201. An upper longitudinal bar 202 is arranged on the right side of each upper corner angle block 201, and an upper wide bar 203 is provided on the underside of each upper corner angle block 201. Two upper longitudinal bars 202 and two upper wide bars 203 are provided. An upper connecting block 204 is arranged at the end of each upper corner angle block 201, with both the upper longitudinal bars 202 and the upper wide bars 203 being cooperatively fixed to the upper connecting block 204. A hanging hook 205 is arranged at the central position of the inner surface of the upper corner angle block 201.
[0022] The hanging hooks are designed to interact with bags that have hooks. Of course, bags without hooks can also be used: simply wrap the edge of the bag around the top support frame to keep the bag opening open. This process is similar to placing garbage bags on a household waste basket.
[0023] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the lower support frame 103 comprises four lower corner angle modules 301. A lower longitudinal bar 302 is arranged on the right side of each lower corner angle module 301, and a lower wide bar 303 is provided on the underside of each lower corner angle module 301. Two lower longitudinal bars 302 and two lower wide bars 303 are provided. A lower connection block is arranged at the end of each lower corner angle module 301, with both the lower longitudinal bars 302 and the lower wide bars 303 being cooperatively fixed to the lower connection block. Steering wheel mounting holes 304 for swivel wheels are arranged on the underside of the lower corner angle module 301, on both sides of the connection holes 109.
[0024] The connecting holes are connected to the positioning holes. After fixing, the threaded rod and the inner support rod are in contact with each other. If the support rod is slightly too short, causing wrinkles on the outer surface, the threaded rod can be adjusted inward to eliminate the wrinkles on the outer surface. At the same time, the other support feet are positioned accordingly to ensure stability.
[0025] As in Fig. 3 and Fig. As shown in Figure 4, the fixing is done in the form of connecting blocks. In practice, longitudinal and wide rods of different lengths can be selected as needed to meet the needs of different users. Of course, when using storage bin covers of the same size, this structure can make the overall application more flexible.
[0026] It should be noted that the terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments of the present application. As used herein, singular forms are intended to include plural forms unless the context expressly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that the use of the terms "comprise" and / or "include" in this specification indicates the existence of features, steps, acts, parts, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0027] Unless expressly stated otherwise, the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions, and values in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present utility model. At the same time, it should be understood that for illustrative purposes, the dimensions of the parts shown in the drawings are not scaled to actual dimensions. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the art may not be discussed in detail, but should be considered part of the granted patent documents when necessary. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific value should be construed as exemplary only and not as limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.Please note: Similar reference numerals and letters indicate similar elements in subsequent drawings; consequently, once an element has been defined in one drawing, no further discussion is required in subsequent drawings.
[0028] For convenience, spatially relative terms such as "on...", "over...", "on the surface of...", "above," etc., may be used herein to describe the spatial location of a component or feature relative to other components or features as illustrated in the drawings. It is to be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to encompass other orientations in the use or operation of the component in addition to the orientation described in the drawings. For example, if a component is flipped over in the drawings, a component previously described as being "over" or "on" another component or structure would subsequently be positioned "below" or "below" the other component or structure. Therefore, the exemplary term "over" can encompass both the "over" and "below" orientations. The component may also be oriented in other ways (e.g.,rotated by 90 degrees or in a different orientation), and the spatially relative descriptions used here should be interpreted accordingly.
