Description

A foldable basket that can be opened and folded quickly Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of infant and child products, and in particular to a foldable basket that can be quickly opened and folded. Background Art

[0002] An infant carrier is a product for placing infants outdoors. The existing infant carrier can not only be used alone, but also can be used in combination with a stroller. The infant carrier can be placed on the stroller through a snap-on combination. The structure is ingenious and the use is flexible and convenient.

[0003] To facilitate storage, most existing infant carriers are foldable, typically consisting of a basket body and handles. The basket body comprises an upper frame, a base, a soft outer cover, and two symmetrically arranged support rods. The support rods are typically U-shaped, with an upper opening, and their upper ends pivotally connected to the upper frame. To fold or unfold these carriers, the user must insert their hand into the soft outer cover, making the operation quite cumbersome and inefficient.

[0004] Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a foldable baby carrier that can be quickly opened and folded to solve the problem that existing baby carriers are inconvenient to unfold and fold.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is: a foldable basket that can be opened and folded quickly, comprising a basket body, the basket body comprising an upper frame, a basket bottom plate, an outer sleeve, two support rods and an opening and folding operating mechanism, the upper portion of the support rods being rotatably connected to the upper frame, the opening and folding operating mechanism comprising an operating member, a first linkage member and a second linkage member, the operating member being rotatably mounted on the basket bottom plate, the outer ends of the first linkage member and the second linkage member being rotatably connected to the lower ends of the two support rods, respectively, and the inner ends of the first linkage member and the second linkage member being rotatably connected to the operating member;

[0007] When the basket body is in the open state, the first linkage member and the second linkage member are flat on the upper side of the basket bottom plate, the two support rods are unfolded and supported between the upper frame and the basket bottom plate, and the operating member is retracted and moved closer to the basket bottom plate;

[0008] When the basket body is folded, the operating member is rotated, and its operating part simultaneously drives the support rods on both sides to move in the same direction through the first linkage member and the second linkage member and rotate and fold relative to the upper frame, thereby realizing the folding and folding of the basket body.

[0009] Furthermore, the first linkage member and the second linkage member are both plate-shaped structures, the outer ends of the first linkage member and the second linkage member are respectively rotatably connected to the lower ends of the support rods on both sides, and the inner ends of the first linkage member and the second linkage member are respectively rotatably connected to the operating member.

[0010] Furthermore, the first linkage member is a plate-shaped structure, and the second linkage member is a two-section folding structure, which includes an inner plate and an outer plate that are rotatably connected. The outer ends of the first linkage member and the outer plate are respectively rotatably connected to the lower ends of the support rods on both sides, and the inner ends of the first linkage member and the inner plate are rotatably connected to the operating member.

[0011] Furthermore, when the basket is in the open state, the two support rods are arranged in an eight-shaped shape.

[0012] Furthermore, the middle portion of the operating member is rotatably mounted on the basket bottom plate, one side of the operating member is exposed below the basket bottom plate to form an operating portion, and the other side of the operating member is exposed above the basket bottom plate to form a linkage portion.

[0013] Furthermore, the linkage portion and the operating portion of the operating member are arranged in parallel, and an inclined mounting portion is arranged between the two. It is rotatably connected to the basket bottom plate through the mounting portion, and an open groove for the operating member to rotate is provided on the basket bottom plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the linkage portion, the mounting portion and the operating portion all include symmetrically spaced side rods, and the outer ends of the side rods of the operating portion are bent and connected to an operating handle. The operating handle, the operating portion, the mounting portion and the linkage portion are integrally formed.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages:

[0016] When the handle needs to be folded and collapsed, the operating member is rotated, and its linkage portion drives the support rods on both sides to move in the same direction through the first linkage member and the second linkage member at the same time, and the support rods are rotated and collapsed relative to the upper frame, thereby realizing the folding and collapse of the basket body; when the handle needs to be opened, the operating member is rotated in the opposite direction, and its linkage portion drives the support rods on both sides to move in the opposite direction through the first linkage member and the second linkage member at the same time, and opens relative to the upper frame. When the first linkage member and the second linkage member are flattened on the upper side of the handle bottom plate, the support rods on both sides are supported in an "eight" shape between the upper frame and the handle bottom plate, and the operating member is folded and collapsed relative to the handle bottom plate, at this time the basket body is in and maintained in the opened state; the overall structure is simple and novel, and the operation is convenient, and there is no need to reach into the handle to perform the unfolding or folding operation, thereby improving the efficiency of unfolding and folding the handle.

[0017] 2. The present invention realizes the deployment and positioning of the support rods on both sides by flattening the first and second linkage members on the upper side of the basket bottom plate, without the need to set an additional lock on the operating member, and the structure is simple, safe and reliable.

The middle part of the operating member 6 is rotatably mounted on the basket bottom plate 3. One side of the operating member 6 is exposed below the basket bottom plate 3 to form an operating part 601, and the other side of the operating member 6 is exposed above the basket bottom plate 3 to form a linkage part 602. In this embodiment, the first linkage member 7 is a plate-like structure, and the second linkage member 8 is a two-section folding structure, which includes an inner plate 801 and an outer plate 802 that are rotatably connected (the outer end of the inner plate 801 and the inner end of the outer plate 802 are rotatably connected), and the outer ends of the first linkage member 7 and the outer plate 802 are respectively rotatably connected to the lower ends of the support rods 5 on both sides, and the inner ends of the first linkage member 7 and the inner plate 801 are coaxially rotatably connected to the linkage part 602 of the operating member 6.

[0046] Embodiment 2: As shown in Figures 10 to 18, a foldable basket that can be quickly opened and folded includes a basket body and a handle 1. The basket body includes an upper frame 2, a basket base 3, an outer sleeve 4, two support rods 5, and an opening and folding operating mechanism. The upper portion of the support rod 5 is rotatably connected to the upper frame 2. The opening and folding operating mechanism includes an operating member 6, a first linkage member 7, and a second linkage member 8. The middle portion of the operating member 6 is rotatably mounted on the basket base 3. One side of the operating member 6 is exposed below the basket base 3 to form an operating portion 601, and the other side of the operating member 6 is exposed above the basket base 3 to form a linkage portion 602. In this embodiment, the first linkage member 7 and the second linkage member 8 are both plate-shaped structures. The outer ends of the first linkage member 7 and the second linkage member 8 are respectively rotatably connected to the lower ends of the support rods 5 on both sides, and the inner ends of the first linkage member 7 and the second linkage member 8 are respectively rotatably connected to the linkage portion 602 of the operating member 6.

[0047] In the above-mentioned embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, when the basket body is in the open state, the two support rods 5 are arranged in an eight-shaped shape to improve the stability of the basket after it is opened.

[0048] The preferred structure of the operating member 6 is as follows: the linkage portion 602 and the operating portion 601 are arranged parallel to each other, with an inclined mounting portion 603 located between them. The operating member 6 is rotatably connected to the basket base 3 via the mounting portion 603. The linkage portion 602, mounting portion 603, and operating portion 601 all include symmetrically spaced side bars. The outer ends of the side bars of the operating portion 601 are bent and connected to an operating handle 604. Preferably, the operating handle 604, operating portion 601, mounting portion 603, and linkage portion 602 are integrally formed.

[0049] In the drawings of the above-mentioned embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 18 , the first linkage member 7 is located on the left side of the basket body, and the second linkage member 8 is located on the right side of the basket body.

[0050] When the basket is in the open state, the linkage portion 602 of the operating member 6 is located on the left side of the rotation point between the operating member 6 and the basket bottom plate 3, is placed flat on the basket bottom plate 3 and is arranged on the front and rear sides of the first linkage member 7 and the second linkage member 8, while the operating portion 601 of the operating member 6 is located on the right side of the rotation point between the operating member 6 and the basket bottom plate 3, is placed flat below the basket bottom plate 3 and is close to the basket bottom plate 3.

[0051] When the basket is in the folded state, the operating portion 601 of the operating member 6 is rotated below the basket bottom plate 3 to the left of the rotation point between the operating member 6 and the basket bottom plate 3, while the linkage portion 602 of the operating member 6 is rotated above the basket bottom plate 3 to the right of the rotation point between the operating member 6 and the basket bottom plate 3.

[0052] In order to facilitate the rotation of the operating member 6, an opening slot 301 for the operating member 6 to rotate is opened on the basket bottom plate 3.

[0053] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0054] When the basket needs to be folded and retracted, by rotating the operating member 6, the linkage portion 602 thereof drives the support rods 5 on both sides to move in the same direction through the first linkage member 7 and the second linkage member 8, and rotates and retracts relative to the upper frame 2, thereby achieving the folding and retraction of the basket;

[0055] When the basket body needs to be opened, the operating member 6 is rotated in the opposite direction, and its linkage part 602 drives the support rods 5 on both sides to move in the opposite direction through the first linkage member 7 and the second linkage member 8 and rotates and opens relative to the upper frame 2. When the first linkage member 7 and the second linkage member 8 are flat on the upper side of the basket bottom plate 3, the support rods 5 on both sides are supported in an eight-shaped shape between the upper frame 2 and the basket bottom plate 3, and the operating member 6 is retracted and moved closer to the basket bottom plate 3. At this time, the basket body is in and remains in the open state.

[0056] The overall structure of the present invention is simple and novel, and the operation is convenient. There is no need to put hands into the basket to perform the unfolding or folding operation, thereby improving the unfolding and folding efficiency of the basket.

[0057] The present invention realizes the deployment and positioning of the support rods 5 on both sides by flatly extending the first linkage member 7 and the second linkage member 8 on the upper side of the basket bottom plate 3, without the need to additionally set a lock on the operating member 6, and the structure is simple, safe and reliable.
