[0041] The following will be described in combination with Figure 4The detailed structure of the first surrounding wall 200 in the embodiment is described in detail. Alternatively, the handrail pipe is provided with two, one of which is a short handrail pipe 221, and the other is a long handrail pipe 222. One end of the short handrail pipe 221 is hinged to the column pipe 210, and the other end is hinged to one end of the long handrail pipe 222. The other end of the long handrail pipe 222 is hinged to the inclined support pipe 230 through the support pipe joint 231. The support pipe joints 231 of the two side wall assemblies are hinged to each other. By providing two handrail pipes, one of which is a short handrail pipe 221, and the other is a long handrail pipe 222, the structure of the side wall assembly of the first surrounding wall 200 can be simplified, and the two support pipe joints 231 can limit each other to prevent the two side wall assemblies from rotating too much to cause the first surrounding wall 200 to be folded in the opposite direction, so that the two link assemblies of the first surrounding wall 200 are always in the same straight line when the folding trailer is in the unfolded state, ensuring the stability and mechanical strength of the connection.
[0042] Further, the side wall assembly further comprises a support sheet assembly, the support sheet assembly comprising a short support sheet 241 and a long support sheet 242. One end of the short support sheet 241 is hinged to the long handrail pipe 222, and the other end is hinged to one end of the long support sheet 242. The long support sheet 242 is hinged to the inclined support pipe 230. The side wall assembly thus arranged can form a triangle between the support sheet assembly, the long handrail pipe 222 and the inclined support pipe 230 when the folding state is in the unfolded state, ensuring the stability of the connection and the overall mechanical strength of the frame body.
[0043] Specifically, the other end of the long support sheet 242 of the two side wall assemblies is hinged to each other. When the frame body is in the unfolded state, the two support sheet assemblies are hinged to each other and form a triangle with the two long handrail pipes 222, further improving the stability of the connection and the overall mechanical strength of the frame body.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment, the short supporting piece 241 is provided with a limiting boss 243 near one end of the long supporting piece 242, and when the frame body is unfolded, the long supporting piece 242 abuts against the limiting boss 243 and the short supporting piece 241 is in the same straight line with the long supporting piece 242. When unfolded, the long supporting piece 242 abuts against the limiting boss 243, and the short supporting piece 241 is in the same straight line with the long supporting piece 242, so that the two supporting piece assemblies and the two long handrail pipes 222 form a triangle, and the supporting piece assembly and the long handrail pipe 222 and the inclined supporting pipe 230 form a triangle, thereby further ensuring the stability of the connection, ensuring that the folding trailer is locked when unfolded and improving the mechanical strength of the frame body.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 5 The second surrounding wall 300 in the embodiment includes two side handrail pipes 310 and two side supporting pipes 320 that are hingedly connected to each other, one end of the upright pipe 210 is hingedly connected to one of the side handrail pipes 310, the other end is hingedly connected to one end of one of the side supporting pipes 320, the other end of the side supporting pipe 320 is hingedly connected to the other side handrail pipe 310, and the two side handrail pipes 310 are in the same straight line when the frame body is unfolded. The second surrounding wall 300 arranged in this way can realize the mutual approach of the two upright pipes 210, and when folded, the two side supporting pipes 320 approach each other and the included angle becomes smaller, and at the same time the side handrail pipe 310 is bent upward to realize the folding of the second surrounding wall 300.
[0046] Specifically, the side handrail pipe 310 and the side supporting pipe 320 are connected through a hinge 330, which is a plastic part. It not only shortens the length of the side handrail pipe 310 and the side supporting pipe 320, further reducing the volume of the folding trailer when folded, but also facilitates the hinge connection of the side handrail pipe 310 and the side supporting pipe 320, making the hinge rotation more smooth, and the component is easy to produce, which can reduce the production cost.
[0047] As a preferred embodiment, the frame body has a preset distance between the two side handrail pipes 310 when unfolded. The side handrail pipes 310 arranged in this way can prevent the two side handrail pipes 310 from interfering with each other when folded and unfolded, thereby playing a role in avoiding interference.
[0048] When the folding trailer in the embodiment is folded, the middle seat 110 of the bottom frame assembly 100 is first pulled upward, the trailer frame body is unlocked, the four column pipes 210 are driven by the bottom support pipe 120 to move toward the center, the long handrail pipe 222 and the short handrail pipe 221 of the first surrounding wall 200 are bent downward, the short support piece 241 and the long support piece 242 are bent upward, so that the two inclined support pipes 230 are close to each other, the folding of the first surrounding wall 200 is realized; at the same time, the hinged part of the side handrail pipe 310 and the side support pipe 320 is bent upward, the two side support pipes 320 are close to each other, the folding of the second surrounding wall 300 is realized, so that the folding of the trailer frame body and the folding trailer is realized, and the folding state in the embodiment is realized.
