As shown in
The storage basket structure is used to store clothes that need to be changed and washed, maintain cleanliness and hygiene, or help to tidy furniture for storing toys. The storage basket structure has a support. The support includes an upper frame, a lower frame and support rods 110. The upper frame is connected to the lower frame through the support rods 110. That is, the upper frame, the lower frame and the support rods 110 form a skeleton of the storage basket structure.
Optionally, the top plate 120 is provided with a mounting hole 131, and the first end of the support rod 110 may be inserted into the mounting hole 131 to mount and fix the support rod 110 to the top plate 120.
The fabric sleeve 140 refers to a fabric, including but not limited to cotton, polyester cotton or a nylon material, and for example, the fabric sleeve 140 may be made of an Oxford fabric, which is not limited.
The openings 122 are formed at both ends of the fabric sleeve 140, so that the fabric sleeve can be sleeved on the upper frame and the lower frame. Because the support rod 110 is movably connected to the base 130, relative positions of the support rod 110 and the base 130 can be adjusted by the adjusting device 150, and then the distance between the top plate 120 and the base 130 can be adjusted.
For example, taking the adjusting device 150 being a latch as an example, the base 130 is provided with a mounting hole 131 for inserting the second end of the support rod 110, and the second end of the support rod 110 may move freely in the mounting hole 131 of the base 130. A side wall of the mounting hole 131 is provided with a plurality of through holes distributed along an axis, and a portion of the support rod 110 close to the second end thereof is also provided with a plurality of holes. The latch passes through one through hole of the base 130 and one hole of the support rod 110, to mount and fix the support rod 110 to the base 130. Since both ends of the fabric sleeve 140 are sleeved on the upper frame and the lower frame respectively, the fabric sleeve 140 is loose.
During adjustment, the latch is taken out, then the base 130 and the support rod 110 are adjusted to required positions, and then the latch is inserted into one through hole of the base 130 and one hole of the support rod 110 again, so that the support rod 110 is mounted and fixed to the base 130, and the fabric sleeve 140 is tightened by increasing the distance between the base 130 and the top plate 120.
Optionally, the second end of the support rod 110 is movable arranged in the mounting hole 131, and the adjusting device 150 includes a nut 151 and a screw 152. The nut 151 is arranged in the mounting hole 131, and the screw 152 abuts against the second end of the support rod 110. Through cooperation of the screw 152 and the nut 151, an adjustment function between the support rod 110 and the base 130 is achieved. For example, taking an example in which a storage basket is placed on a horizontal surface, the top plate 120 is arranged above the base 130. The screw 152 is screwed into the nut 151 from bottom to top, and the screw 152 abuts against the second end of the support rod 110. When the screw 152 is unscrewed, for example, when the screw 152 is rotated counterclockwise, the support rod 110 is further embedded in the mounting hole 131, so that the distance between the base 130 and the top plate 120 can be shortened. Similarly, when the screw 152 is screwed in, for example, when the screw 152 is rotated clockwise, the screw 152 lifts the support rod 110, so that the portion of the support rod 110 close to the second end thereof moves out of the mounting hole 131, which can increase the distance between the base 130 and the top plate 120.
Optionally, the adjusting device 150 may alternatively use another device or structure. For example, the base 130 is provided with a threaded hole, and the second end of the support rod 110 is provided with an external thread matching the threaded hole, so that relative positions of the support rod 110 and the base 130 are adjusted by rotating the support rod 110, so as to adjust the distance between the base 130 and the top plate 120, which is not specifically limited.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned storage basket structure is used to store clothes or toys, which is an illustration of the embodiment of the present application, but not a specific limitation on the present application.
