[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: When the cart structure of the present invention is folded, the push rod assembly is rotated forward, and the push rod assembly and the transverse connecting member thereon rotate relative to the bottom support frame together. During this process, the first rotating disc rotates with the transverse connecting member, and the first rotating disc pushes the first transmission rod, and the first transmission rod pushes the first transmission member to rotate relative to the first support frame. The first transmission member pulls the second transmission member rotatably connected thereto, and the second transmission member pulls the second support frame, so as to realize the relative rotation and approximation of the first support frame and the second support frame. During the process of the second transmission member pulling the second support frame, the second transmission member rotates relative to the second support frame, and the second transmission rod will pull the second rotating disc to rotate backward. During the whole process, the folding operation is convenient and smooth, and the setting of the second rotating disc and the second transmission rod can make the cart structure stable in the unfolded state and fold smoothly during the folding process. In addition, the control component can control the seat support base to rotate forward or backward for folding. When the seat component faces forward, the control component controls the seat support base to drive the seat component to rotate forward for folding, and when the seat component faces backward, the control component controls the seat support base to drive the seat component to rotate backward for folding. Therefore, regardless of the orientation of the seat component, the entire cart structure can be directly folded without adjusting the orientation of the seat component, making the folding operation very convenient. Moreover, when the cart structure needs to be unfolded, during the rotation of the push rod assembly, the first pushing portion on the first transmission rod can push the abutting portion on the seat support base to make the seat support base that rotates forward for folding rotate backward automatically, or the second pushing portion on the second rotating disc pushes the abutting portion on the seat support base to make the seat support base that rotates backward rotate forward automatically, making the unfolding of the entire cart structure convenient and eliminating the need to manually operate the rotation of the seat support base by moving the seat component.

Detailed Implementation Manner

[0038] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0039] As Figures 1 to 15 shown, a trolley structure includes a foldable bottom support frame 1. The bottom support frame 1 includes a first support frame 11 and a second support frame 12 that can rotate relative to the first support frame 11. Wheels 13 are provided at the lower ends of both the first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12. A push rod assembly 2 is further connected to the bottom support frame 1. The push rod assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the bottom support frame 1 through a transverse connecting member 3 connected thereto. A driving mechanism is further provided between the transverse connecting member 3 and the bottom support frame 1, which can drive the first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12 to approach and fold when the push rod assembly 2 rotates and folds relative to the bottom support frame 1. The driving mechanism includes a first transmission member 41 rotatably connected to the first support frame 11 and a second transmission member 42 rotatably connected to the second support frame 12, and the first transmission member 41 and the second transmission member 42 are rotatably connected. The driving mechanism further includes a first rotating disk 43 connected to the transverse connecting member 3 and capable of rotating with the transverse connecting member 3. A first transmission rod 44 is hinged at a position deviating from the rotation axis of the first rotating disk 43. The other end of the first transmission rod 44 is rotatably connected to the first transmission member 41. A second rotating disk 45 capable of rotating relative to it is further connected to the transverse connecting member 3, and the rotation direction of the second rotating disk 45 is opposite to the rotation direction of the first rotating disk 43. A second transmission rod 46 is hinged at a position deviating from the rotation axis of the second rotating disk 45. The other end of the second transmission rod 46 is rotatably connected to the second transmission member 42. When the trolley structure is folded, the push rod assembly 2 is rotated forward, and the push rod assembly 2 and the transverse connecting member 3 thereon rotate relative to the bottom support frame 1 together. During this process, the first rotating disk 43 rotates with the transverse connecting member 3. The first rotating disk 43 then pushes the first transmission rod 44, and the first transmission rod 44 pushes the first transmission member 41 to rotate relative to the first support frame 11. The first transmission member 41 pulls the second transmission member 42 rotatably connected to it, and the second transmission member 42 pulls the second support frame 12 and rotates relative to the second support frame 12. During this process, the second transmission rod 46 will pull the second rotating disk 45 to rotate backward, finally realizing the relative rotation and approaching of the first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12, and realizing the folding of the trolley structure. The entire trolley structure has a simple structure and convenient folding operation. Just rotating the push rod assembly 2 to approach the first support frame 11 can realize the approaching of the first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12. Moreover, the entire driving mechanism makes the unfolded state of the trolley structure stable, and the relative rotation and approaching movement of the first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12 is smooth during the folding process.

[0040] As Figures 13 to 15As shown, the lower end of the first transmission rod 44 is hinged to the middle of the first transmission member 41, and the lower end of the second transmission rod 46 is hinged to the middle of the second transmission member 45, so that the cart structure can be folded smoothly and the unfolded state is stable and reliable.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the first support frame 11, the second support frame 12, the push rod assembly 2 and the seat support base 5 are rotatably connected around the same axis, so that the entire cart structure is simple and compact.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, the transverse connecting member 3 is also connected to a seat support seat 5 which can be rotated forward or backward relative to the seat support seat 3 and folded toward the bottom support frame 1; the seat support seat 5 is connected to a seat assembly 6 which is foldable and can be rotated relative to the seat support seat 5 to achieve front and rear switching; the seat support seat 5 is provided with a supporting portion 51, and the supporting portion 51 is a horizontal axis fixed to the seat support seat 5; the first transmission rod 44 is provided with a first pushing portion 44a which can push the supporting portion 51 during the unfolding process of the push rod assembly 2 relative to the bottom support frame 1 so that the seat support seat 5 that is rotated forward and folded can be rotated backward and unfolded; the second rotating disk 45 is also provided with a second pushing portion 45a which can push the supporting portion 51 during the unfolding process of the push rod assembly 2 relative to the bottom support frame 1 so that the seat support seat 5 that is rotated backward and folded can be rotated forward and unfolded. When the seat assembly 6 faces forward and the stroller structure is folded, the seat support seat 5 rotates forward with the folded seat assembly 6 and approaches the first support frame 11. At this time, during the unfolding of the stroller structure, the push rod assembly 2 rotates relative to the bottom support frame 1, pulls the first transmission rod 44 through the first rotating disk 43, and then pulls the first transmission member 41 and pushes the second transmission member 42 through the first transmission member 41, thereby realizing the relative unfolding of the first support frame 11 and the second support frame 12. During this process, the second transmission rod 46 pushes the second rotating disk 45 to rotate in the opposite direction of the first rotating disk 43, and the first pushing portion 44a on the first transmission rod 44 will touch the abutment portion 51 on the pushing seat support seat 5, thereby pushing the seat support seat 5 to rotate relative to the transverse connecting member 3, so that the push rod assembly 2 makes the seat support seat 5 automatically rotate and unfold during the rotation and unfolding process. Similarly, when the seat assembly 6 faces backward and the stroller structure needs to be unfolded after being folded, the push rod assembly 2 is unfolded, and the second push portion 45a on the second rotating disk 45 pushes the abutment portion 51 during the rotation process, so that the seat support base 5 automatically rotates and unfolds. The foldable seat assembly 6 can adopt a seat assembly of a conventional folding structure, which will not be described in detail here, and when the entire stroller structure is folded, the seat assembly 6 is folded first, and then the push rod assembly 2 is rotated to achieve further folding.

[0043] like Figures 9 to 12 ,as well asFigures 17 to 20 As shown, a control component is provided between the seat support base 5 and the bottom support frame 1, which can control the rotation and folding direction of the seat support base 5 when the stroller structure is folded. When the seat assembly 6 faces forward and the stroller structure is folded, the control component controls the seat support base 5 to rotate forward and fold. When the seat assembly 6 faces backward and the stroller structure is folded, the control component controls the seat support base 5 to rotate backward and fold. Therefore, when the stroller structure is folded, regardless of the orientation of the seat assembly 6, after the seat assembly 6 is folded, the control component can control the seat support base 5 to rotate in a set direction, so that the seat support base 5 drives the seat assembly 6 to rotate and fold, avoiding the need to adjust the seat assembly to face forward when the traditional baby stroller is folded, making the folding operation more convenient and fast.

[0044] As Figures 9 to 12 , and Figures 17 to 20As shown, the second support frame 12 includes a left support 121 and a right support 122. The control assembly 7 includes a left arc-shaped groove 71 provided on the left support 121 and extending along the rotation direction of the push rod assembly 2, and a right arc-shaped groove 72 provided on the right support 122 and extending along the rotation direction of the push rod assembly 2. A left sliding pin 73 that can move within the left arc-shaped groove 71 and abut against the groove wall of the left arc-shaped groove 71 to prevent the seat support 5 from rotating forward is slidably connected within the seat support 5. A right sliding pin 74 that can move within the right arc-shaped groove 72 and abut against the groove wall of the right arc-shaped groove 72 to prevent the seat support 5 from rotating backward is also slidably connected within the seat support 5. A left return spring 75 is provided between the left sliding pin 73 and the seat support 5, and a right return spring 76 is provided between the right sliding pin 74 and the seat support 5. A relief groove 77 into which the left sliding pin 73 or the right sliding pin 74 can enter is provided on the seat assembly 6. When the left sliding pin 73 enters the relief groove 77, the left sliding pin 73 disengages from the left arc-shaped groove 71 and the right sliding pin 74 is pressed by the seat assembly 6 into the right arc-shaped groove 72. When the seat assembly 6 rotates and changes direction relative to the seat support 5 such that the right sliding pin 74 enters the relief groove 77, the right sliding pin 74 disengages from the right arc-shaped groove 72 and the left sliding pin 73 is pressed by the seat assembly 6 into the left arc-shaped groove 71. When the seat assembly 6 faces forward, the adult pushing the stroller and the child within the seat assembly 6 face the same direction. At this time, the left sliding pin 73 disengages from the left arc-shaped groove 71 and the right sliding pin 74 falls into the right arc-shaped groove 72. At this time, the groove wall of the left arc-shaped groove 71 cannot block the left sliding pin 73, and the groove wall of the right arc-shaped groove 72 can block the right sliding pin 74. At this time, the control assembly can prevent the seat support 5 from rotating backward and ensure that the seat support 5 can only rotate forward. When the stroller structure is folded, the seat support 5 rotates forward, and the right sliding pin 74 moves within the right arc-shaped groove 72 along the extension direction of the right arc-shaped groove 72, causing the seat assembly 6 to move forward and close to the first support frame 11. When the seat assembly 6 is rotated so that the seat assembly 6 faces backward, at this time, the adult pushing the stroller and the child within the seat assembly 6 face each other. Because the seat assembly 6 rotates relative to the seat support 5, the relief groove 77 originally cooperating with the left sliding pin 73 moves to a position cooperating with the right sliding pin 74. At this time, the left sliding pin 73 is pressed into the left arc-shaped groove 71, and the right sliding pin 74 is pushed by the right return spring 76 and disengages from the right arc-shaped groove 72. At this time, the groove wall of the left arc-shaped groove 71 can resist the left sliding pin 73, thereby preventing the seat support 5 from rotating forward. Therefore, when the stroller structure is folded, the seat support 5 can only rotate backward, causing the seat assembly 6 to move backward and close to the second support frame 12.Therefore, when the stroller structure is folded, the control component automatically controls the rotation direction of the seat support 5 according to the orientation of the seat component 6, avoiding the defect that the seat component of traditional child strollers needs to be adjusted to face forward before folding, making the folding operation more convenient and quick.

[0045] like Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the locking device of the stroller structure includes a first locking mechanism 81 disposed between the push rod assembly 2 and the second support frame 12, and a second locking mechanism 82 is disposed between the seat support seat 5 and the first support frame 11, which can be unlocked by the rotating push rod assembly 2 when the first locking mechanism 81 is unlocked and the push rod assembly 2 rotates relative to the bottom support frame 1. When the stroller structure is folded, the first locking mechanism 81 is first unlocked and then the push rod assembly 2 is rotated forward, and the push rod assembly 2 will unlock the second locking mechanism 82 during the rotation process, realizing linkage unlocking, making the folding operation more convenient.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the seat assembly 6 faces forward, the center of gravity of the seat assembly 6 is located in front of the rotation axis of the push rod assembly 2, so that after the second locking mechanism 82 is unlocked, the seat support seat 5 and the seat assembly 6 can automatically rotate forward and close to the bottom support frame 1. When the seat assembly 6 faces backward, the center of gravity of the seat assembly 6 is located in the rear of the rotation axis of the push rod assembly 2, so that after the second locking mechanism 82 is unlocked, the seat support seat 5 and the seat assembly 6 can automatically rotate backward and close to the bottom support frame 1. Therefore, once the second locking mechanism 82 is unlocked, the seat support seat 5 can rotate automatically, and the seat support seat 5 can be rotated and folded without pushing the seat assembly 6, making the frame folding operation simple and quick.

[0047] like Figures 9 to 12As shown, the first locking mechanism 81 includes a plurality of inner locking grooves 811 provided at the upper end of the second support frame 12 and arranged circumferentially, and a plurality of outer locking grooves 812 provided at the lower end of the push rod assembly 2 and arranged circumferentially. A first spline 813 capable of laterally moving therein and engaging with both the inner locking grooves 811 and the outer locking grooves 812 is provided in the space formed by the second support frame 12 and the push rod assembly 2. A first pushing member 814 capable of pushing the first spline 813 to move laterally so that the first spline 813 disengages from the outer locking grooves 812 is further provided in the push rod assembly 2. A first return spring 815 capable of pushing the first spline 813 to reset is further provided between the second support frame 12 and the first spline 813. The push rod assembly 2 includes a lower push rod 21 having a bent portion 21a and an upper push rod 22 capable of sliding in the lower push rod 21. The lateral connecting member 3 is connected to the lower push rod 21. The first pushing member 814 includes a first pushing block 8141 that abuts against the first spline 813 and can slide along the lateral connecting member 3. An inclined push rod 8142 capable of pushing the first pushing block 8141 to move laterally is provided in the bent portion 21a. A push rod 8143 capable of pushing the inclined push rod 8142 to slide when the upper push rod 22 retracts into the lower push rod 21 is provided on the upper push rod 22.
