[0021] Hereinafter, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described with reference to the drawings in specific embodiments.

[0022] The embodiment of the present invention provides a foldable storage basket, which includes a storage body 10 that is foldable and installed in a rectangular frame structure in the unfolded state, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The first storage bar 21, the second storage bar 22, and the third storage bar 23 are drilled in the opening of the storage body 10, and the storage body 10 is used for storing and preserving articles. Here, the first storage handle 31 is inserted between the first storage bar 21 and the second storage bar 22, the second storage handle 32 is inserted between the second storage bar 22 and the third storage bar 23, and the third storage handle 33 is inserted between the third storage bar 23 and the first storage bar 21.

[0023] In addition, for the foldable storage basket provided by the present invention, a first storage bar 21, a second storage bar 22, and a third storage bar 23 are installed at the opening of the storage body 10, and a first storage handle 31, a second storage handle 32, and a third storage handle 33 are respectively inserted between adjacent storage bars to form a stable frame structure. The present invention adopts an insertion-type structural design. Between each storage handle and the storage bar, there is no need to use tools, and assembly can be completed by simple insertion, reducing the difficulty of assembly, improving the convenience of user operation, and achieving rapid assembly and disassembly. Surrounded by three sets of storage bars and storage handles around the opening of the storage body 10, a sturdy square frame support structure is formed in the unfolded state, effectively reinforcing the structural strength and stability of the entire storage basket, making it difficult to deform or sink when placing items. The storage body 10 of the present invention has a foldable structure, can be folded and stored when not in use, and in line with the design of removable storage handles, further improves the portability and space utilization rate of the product, and is easy to transport and store. Therefore, the present invention solves the problems existing in the storage basket in the prior art, namely, the assembly process is complicated and rapid assembly is inconvenient.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 2, a first notch 114, a second notch 115, and a third notch 116 are sequentially installed at the opening of the storage body 10. The first notch 114 corresponds to the first storage handle 31, the second notch 115 corresponds to the second storage handle 32, and the third notch 116 corresponds to the third storage handle 33.

[0025] When specifically implementing, a first notch 114, a second notch 115, and a third notch 116 are sequentially installed at the opening of the storage body 10, and each notch is respectively matched with the corresponding first storage handle 31, second storage handle 32, and third storage handle 33, making it easy for the user to assemble the storage basket. In addition, the notch is also installed to facilitate gripping the first storage handle 31, second storage handle 32, and third storage handle 33.

[0026] As shown in Figure 2, the storage body 10 has a first storage groove 111, a second storage groove 112, and a third storage groove 113. The first storage bar 21 is inserted into the first storage groove 111, the second storage bar 22 is inserted into the second storage groove 112, and the third storage bar 23 is inserted into the third storage groove 113.

[0027] In specific implementation, the storage body 10 is provided with a first storage groove 111, a second storage groove 112, and a third storage groove 113. The first storage bar 21, the second storage bar 22, and the third storage bar 23 are inserted into the corresponding storage grooves, respectively. This provides each storage bar with a clear mounting position and insertion guide, reducing the difficulty of positioning during the installation process. This allows the storage bars to be installed quickly and accurately, thereby further improving the overall efficiency of the installation. On the other hand, after the storage bars are inserted into the corresponding storage grooves, a stable fitted connection structure can be formed with the storage body 10. This effectively limits the displacement of the storage bars, preventing them from loosening or falling out during use, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire storage basket structure.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the storage body 10 includes side fabric 11 and bottom fabric 12. The storage body 10 is manufactured by sewing the side fabric 11 and bottom fabric 12 together, and the first storage groove 111, second storage groove 112, and third storage groove 113 are opened at the top of the side fabric 11. In this embodiment, the storage body 10 is sewn from cotton fabric.

[0029] In specific implementation, the storage body 10 is constructed by sewing together the side fabric 11 and the bottom fabric 12. By creating a first storage groove 111, a second storage groove 112, and a third storage groove 113 at the top of the side fabric 11, the overall structure of the storage body 10 can be made more flexible. Compared to a rigid material structure, it has better folding performance, is easier to store when not in use, and thereby effectively saves storage space. On the other hand, the side fabric 11 and the bottom fabric 12 are connected by sewing to form an integrated structure. The connection method is simple and reliable, which is advantageous in improving the overall strength and durability of the storage body 10, and also reduces the complexity of the production process and manufacturing costs.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the first storage bar 21, the second storage bar 22, and the third storage bar 23 are made of metal. The length of the first storage bar 21 is greater than the lengths of the second storage bar 22 and the third storage bar 23, respectively. In this embodiment, the first storage bar 21, the second storage bar 22, and the third storage bar 23 can be made of iron or stainless steel, and if the storage bars are made of iron, the outer surface of the storage bars is galvanized.

[0031] Specifically, when implementing this design, the first storage bar 21, the second storage bar 22, and the third storage bar 23 are all manufactured from metal. This ensures that each storage bar has high strength and rigidity, significantly improving the support capacity of the storage basket's opening compared to plastic or other flexible materials. This enhances the overall structural stability and load-bearing capacity, making it less prone to bending or deformation when heavy items are placed on it. Furthermore, the metal material offers excellent durability and fatigue resistance, contributing to the extended service life of the storage basket. It is also less susceptible to damage during repeated removal, installation, and folding processes, further improving the reliability of the product.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2, the first storage handle 31, the second storage handle 32, and the third storage handle 33 are all cylindrical in shape and made of wood. The lengths of the first storage handle 31, the second storage handle 32, and the third storage handle 33 are all equal.

[0033] In specific implementation, by installing the first storage handle 31, the second storage handle 32, and the third storage handle 33 in a cylindrical structure, the surface of the storage handles transitions smoothly, eliminating sharp corners, making them easy for the user to grip and hold, improving comfort during use, and avoiding discomfort or injury to the hand. On the other hand, the cylindrical structure has good force distribution uniformity, effectively distributing stress when an item is placed on it, reducing localized stress concentration phenomena, thereby improving the structural strength and reliability of the storage handles, and making them less prone to breakage or deformation.

[0034] Furthermore, by manufacturing the storage handles from wood, they are lightweight, have a pleasant feel, and offer good anti-slip properties. Compared to metal or plastic materials, they better suit the human gripping habits, further improving the user experience. Moreover, wood has a certain degree of environmental protection, which is advantageous in improving the overall quality of the product. In addition, by setting the lengths of the first storage handle 31, the second storage handle 32, and the third storage handle 33 to be equal, the structure of each storage handle is made consistent, which is advantageous in achieving equal force distribution, avoiding the problem of uneven force distribution due to differences in length, and thereby improving the overall stability of the structure.

[0035] The operating principle is as follows: The foldable storage basket provided by this invention forms a stable frame structure by installing a first storage bar 21, a second storage bar 22, and a third storage bar 23 in the opening of the storage body 10, and inserting a first storage handle 31, a second storage handle 32, and a third storage handle 33 between adjacent storage bars. This invention adopts an insertable structural design, and the assembly can be completed by simply inserting the storage handles and storage bars without the need for tools, reducing the difficulty of assembly, improving user convenience, and enabling quick assembly and disassembly. The three sets of storage bars and storage handles surround the opening of the storage body 10, forming a sturdy rectangular frame support structure when unfolded, effectively reinforcing the structural strength and stability of the entire storage basket, making it less likely to deform or sink when items are placed on it. The storage body 10 of this invention has a foldable structure, allowing it to be folded and stored when not in use, and combined with the design of removable storage handles, it further improves the portability and space utilization of the product, making it easy to transport and store. Therefore, this invention solves the problems of the complicated assembly process and the inconvenience of quick assembly that exist in conventional storage baskets.
