Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 8, this patent provides a storage basket with high strength and bearing capacity.

As shown in FIG. 1, an area ratio of a second metal basket body 2 is greater than an area ratio of a first metal basket body 1. The second metal basket body 2 is placed in the middle, and two first metal basket bodies 1 are respectively arranged on two sides of the second metal basket body 2. As shown in FIG. 1, the first metal basket bodies 1 and the second metal basket body 2 are fixedly spliced into a whole to form the storage basket. Further, a splicing manner may be welding or crimping. Joints deform by way of pressing, so that the second metal basket body and the first metal basket bodies are fixedly connected into a whole.

Specifically, if welding is adopted, the first metal basket bodies 1 and the second metal basket body 2 can be welded with each other into a whole.

If Z-shaped connecting components, each of the Z-shaped connecting components is independently bent; one end of each of Z-shaped connecting components is connected to each first metal basket body 1, and the other end is connected to the second metal basket body 2; each first metal basket body 1 is inserted into one end of the Z-shaped connecting component, and the second metal basket body 2 is inserted into the other end of the Z-shaped connecting component; and the first metal basket body 1 and the second metal basket body 2 are connected into a whole by pressing the Z-shaped connecting component. The first metal basket bodies 1 and the second metal basket body 2 are either expanded metals or steel meshes.

As shown in FIG. 4, in an actual production process, the second metal basket body 2 includes a second stamped and stretched mesh 23, a first metal strip 24 arranged on one side of the second stamped and stretched mesh 23, and a second metal strip 25 arranged on the other side of the second stamped and stretched mesh 23. As shown in FIG. 4, the second stamped and stretched mesh 23, the first metal strip 24, and the second metal strip 25 are of integrally stamped and stretched expanded metal structures; the second stamped and stretched mesh 23 is stamped and bent to form a first bottom surface 21, first side surfaces 22, and reinforcing ribs 3; the first metal basket bodies 1 include first stamped and stretched meshes 11; the first stamped and stretched meshes 11 are stamped and bent to form second side surfaces 12 and second bottom surfaces 13; one first stamped and stretched mesh 11 is spliced onto the first metal strip 24 to form a first spliced part 71, and the other first stamped and stretched mesh 11 is spliced onto the second metal strip 25 to form a second spliced part 72. Further, the first metal strip 24 and the second metal strip 25 are respectively connected to the first metal basket bodies 1 on the two sides, so that the first metal basket bodies and the second metal basket body are fixedly connected into a whole to form the storage basket.

As shown in FIG. 5, the first spliced part 71 is welded and fixed to an upper or lower side of the first metal strip 24 by the first stamped and stretched mesh 11; and the second spliced part 72 is welded and fixed to an upper or lower side of the second metal strip 25 by the first stamped and stretched mesh 11. Diamond meshes and the metal strips are spliced together by way of welding, so that the first spliced part 71 and the second spliced part 72 are connected more firmly, a hand is not easily cut, and the strength and bearing capacity of the storage basket can also be improved.

As shown in FIG. 6, the Z-shaped connecting components are Z-shaped interfaces 73 formed by bending end portions of the first metal strip 24 and the second metal strip 25, and the first stamped and stretched meshes 11 are inserted into the Z-shaped interfaces 73; and the first stamped and stretched meshes 11 and the second stamped and stretched mesh 23 are connected into a whole by pressing the Z-shaped interfaces 73. The Z-shaped interfaces 73 can replace welding, which is conductive to reducing the production cost and facilitates assembling. Meanwhile, the first spliced part 71 and the second spliced part 72 look flatter and more attractive. Of course, this connection manner can also improve the strength and bearing capacity of the storage basket.

For the purpose of further making this product more beautiful, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, decorative strips 74 wrap around the first spliced part 71 and the second spliced part 72. The decorative strips 74 achieve a decoration effect and wrap around the first spliced part 71 and the second spliced part 72 to cover internal burrs and machined parts. This can also further improve the strength and bearing capacity of the storage basket. Much further, in other embodiments, the decorative strips 74 can be directly omitted. During machining, the first spliced part 71 and the second spliced part 72 are fully finely ground to remove burrs and machined traces, making the spliced parts smooth and attractive. The decorative strips 74 can be only arranged on one side and can be directly arranged on one side of a machined surface to cover the machined surface and make the machined surface beautiful. The decorative strips 74 can also be symmetrically arranged, namely, the decorative strips 74 are arranged on two sides of the machined surface.

For the purpose of making this product more beautiful and have a soft handfeeling, surfaces of the first metal basket bodies 1 and a surface of the second metal basket body 2 can be flocked. Flocking layers are formed on the surfaces of the first metal basket bodies 1 and the surface of the second metal basket body 2. The stamped and stretched mesh plates after flocking have beautiful appearances and soft handfeelings. Mesh holes of the stamped and stretched mesh plates after flocking will be dense, small, and dustproof, so that this product does not need to be provided with an additional dustproof sleeve. Further details can refer to patent No. CN104858113B: a flocking method for a stamped and stretched mesh plate.

As shown in FIG. 1, the second metal basket body 2 includes a first bottom surface 21 and first side surfaces 22 arranged on two sides of the first bottom surface 21; each first metal basket body 1 includes a second side surface 12 and a second bottom surface 13 fixedly connected to the first bottom surface 21; and at least one integrally stamped inwards or outwards protruding reinforcing rib 3 is arranged on the first bottom surface 21, the first side surfaces 22, the second side surfaces 12, or the second bottom surfaces 13. In this embodiment, the reinforcing rib 3 is square.

The square inwards protruding reinforcing ribs 3 are conductive to improving the strength and bearing capacity of the storage basket. Further, the first bottom surface 21, the first side surfaces 22, the second side surfaces 12, or the second bottom surfaces 13 are stretched and compressed in different extents and distort, which achieves cold hardening, improves the bending resistance, and improves the strength and bearing capacity of the storage basket. Much further, by way of changing cross-sectional structures of the first bottom surface 21, the first side surfaces 22, the second side surfaces 12, or the second bottom surfaces 13, the section modulus in bending is increased, the bending resistance is improved, and the strength and bearing capacity of the storage basket are further improved, so that the storage basket can assist in finishing more tasks that require load bearing.

In this embodiment, for ease of later transportation of the storage basket and mutual stacking of storage baskets, the first side surfaces 22 and the first bottom surface 21 tilt outwards, and the second side surfaces 12 and the second bottom surfaces 13 also tilt outwards. Due to a certain tilting angle, a storage basket above can be put into a storage basket below to achieve mutual stacking and facilitate later transportation.

In other embodiments, the first side surfaces 22 can also be perpendicular to the first bottom surface 21, and the second side surfaces 12 are also perpendicular to the second bottom surfaces 13. Further, for better connection and smooth and fluent transition, joints between the first side surfaces 22 and the first bottom surface 21 are arc-shaped or right-angled; and joints between the second side surfaces 12 and the second bottom surfaces 13 are arc-shaped or right-angled.

In this embodiment, the first side surfaces 22 and the second side surfaces 12 are both formed by stamping a diamond mesh or hexagonal mesh. If they are not treated later, there will be burrs, which can cut fingers and cause a hand to be injured. Therefore, open edges 8 sleeve their tail ends. The open edges 8 are used to surround and block the burrs, and the open edges 8 can also make the tail ends more beautiful. During machining, the tail ends of the first side surfaces 22 and the second side surfaces 12 are inserted into the open edges 8. The open edges 8 are pressed to wrap around the tail ends of the first side surfaces 22 and the second side surfaces 12, are fixedly connected to the tail ends of the first side surfaces 22 and the second side surfaces 12 into a whole, and also improve the strength around the storage basket.

As shown in FIG. 7, the open edges 8 are V-shaped strip open edges, and the V-shaped strip open edges can only protect side edges, so that the protection range is not wide enough. As shown in FIG. 8, cambered open edges can be used to be connected to the diamond meshes of the side surfaces into a whole, making transitions smoother and more beautiful. The cambered open edges can also protect the diamond meshes at corners, thus achieving higher strength. As shown in FIG. 9, the open edges 8 can also be C-shaped strip open edges.

In an actual application process, the storage basket can be placed in a kitchen as a chef's basket, which is configured to store various seasonings and vegetables, can also be used as a vegetable washing basket, and can further be used as a fruit basket to hold fruits.

Much further, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, if the storage basket is used as a drawer and stacked on a storage rack, the open edges 8 are sliding rails that support the sliding of the storage basket, making the storage basket easy to push and pull. The surrounding open edges 8 can all be used as the sliding rails. Generally, the open edges 8 in a long-edge direction are used as the sliding rails. Iron wires, iron plates, or wooden bodies can also be arranged at the open edges 8 to serve as sliding rails or lifting handles.

For ease of use of the storage basket as a drawer, as shown in FIG. 3, at least one handle 9 configured to push the storage basket to slide is arranged on each of the second side surfaces 12 or the first side surface 22. During use, a hand is put into the handle 9 to pull out or push in the storage basket. The handle 9 can be a groove in various shapes. The handle can be circular, elliptical, hexagonal, or square. In order to protect the hand from being cut, a periphery of the handle 9 is further provided with a protective edge 91. The protective edge 91 wraps around burrs around the handle 9, which is more beautiful and is not easy to cut a hand.

The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this patent, but the implementations of this patent are not limited by the above embodiments. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications that are made without deviating from the spirit and principle of this patent shall all be equivalent substitutes and shall all fall within the protection scope of this patent.
