[0023] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] like Figure 1-9As shown, a portable golf transport vehicle includes a front wheel assembly 1, a rear wheel assembly 9, a support assembly 16, and a sliding assembly 22. The front wheel assembly 1 is hinged to the rear wheel assembly 9 and the support assembly 16 for rotational connection, meaning the ends of the rear wheel assembly 9 and the support assembly 16 are hinged to the front wheel assembly 1. When folding, the support assembly 16 and the rear wheel assembly 9 swing towards the front wheel assembly 1, thus folding the transport vehicle. A sliding assembly 22 is mounted on the front wheel assembly 1, sliding along it. The sliding assembly 22 is connected to the rear wheel assembly 9 and the support assembly 16 via multiple connecting pieces 23. Through the sliding folding and unfolding of the sliding assembly 22, when the support assembly 16 swings downwards, the sliding assembly 22 moves forward along the front wheel assembly 1, causing the rear wheel assembly 9 to swing towards the front wheel assembly 1 via the connecting pieces 23, thus achieving folding. A strapping mechanism 24 is installed on both the front wheel assembly 1 and the support assembly 16, and the folding is achieved through two sets of strapping mechanisms 24. The ball tube is fixed, and a swing block 28 is installed on the front wheel assembly 1 by rotational connection. A binding mechanism 24 is connected to one end of the swing block 28 (the bottom of the binding mechanism 24 on the front wheel assembly 1 is fixed to a bracket by welding, and the other end of the bracket is hinged to the swing block 28, so that the binding mechanism 24 can swing relative to the swing block 28. The binding mechanism 24 can swing to a horizontal position, so that the ball tube can be placed vertically. This allows the ball tube to be vertically clamped and disassembled, making it convenient to bind the ball tube to the binding mechanism). A connecting rod is hinged to the other end of the swing block 28. The connecting rod is fixed to the sliding assembly 22 by bolts, and the two connecting rods are hinged to each other. Two guide grooves 38 are fixed to the binding mechanism 24 on the support assembly 16 by welding. The two guide grooves 38 clamp the support assembly 16 in the middle. A guide post 39 is fixed to the support assembly 16 by welding. The guide post 39 is inserted into the guide groove 38, and the guide groove 38 slides along the guide post 39.The binding mechanism 24 includes an arc-shaped support plate 25 and binding straps 26. The two ends of the arc-shaped support plate 25 are respectively fastened with elastic binding straps 26 by bolts. Each binding strap 26 has through holes arranged side by side. The other end of the binding strap (i.e., elastic rubber strip) is fixed with a limit block 27 by integral injection molding, and the limit block 27 extends into the through hole (the binding strap has through holes). This allows the ball tube to be clamped in the binding mechanism 24. The arc-shaped support plate 25 on the front wheel assembly 1 is hinged to the swing block 28 (a bracket is fixed to the bottom of the arc-shaped support plate 25 by welding, and the bottom of the bracket is hinged to the swing block 28). A return spring that swings outward is fixed by welding at the hinge point between the swing block 28 and the front wheel assembly 1 (the two ends of the return spring are welded to the swing block 28 and the front wheel assembly 1 respectively). This allows the binding mechanism 24 to rotate on the front wheel assembly 1. Another binding mechanism 24 is hinged to a swing arm 34. A groove 35 is formed on the support assembly 16 (the support assembly 16 is a hollow tube). A slider 36 that slides inside the support assembly 16 is embedded within the support assembly 16. A tension spring 37 is fixed by welding between the slider 36 and the inner wall of the support assembly 16. The tension spring 37 pulls the slider 36 upward, causing the binding mechanism 24 to swing. The slider is horizontal (the ball tube forms a vertical shape). A self-locking component 40 is provided on the binding mechanism 24 and the support component 16, which locks the slider. The self-locking component 40 includes an electromagnet 41, a sliding pin 42, and a locking groove 43. The electromagnet 41 is embedded in the slider 36. A groove for embedding the sliding pin 42 is opened on the outer wall of the slider 36. A locking groove 43 is opened on the inner wall of the support component 16. When the locking groove 43 and the groove are connected, the sliding pin 42 slides into the locking groove 43. Thus, the two ends of the sliding pin 42 are located in the locking groove 43 and the slider 36, respectively. The slider 36 is locked by the sliding pin 42. The locking mechanism is activated by the electromagnet 41, whose switch is led to the outside of the support assembly 46 via a wire. When the slider 36 needs to slide, the electromagnet 41 is activated, causing the sliding pin 42 to be attracted into the groove by the electromagnet 41 and separated from the locking groove 43. The slider 36 can then slide freely. When the slider 36 slides upward, the swing arm 34 pushes the binding mechanism 24 on the support assembly 16 to the left, causing the binding mechanism 24 to slowly swing to a horizontal position (the ball cylinder remains vertical). This facilitates the binding and unbinding of the ball cylinder by the binding mechanism. After unbinding, pressing the binding mechanism 24 on the support assembly 16 causes the slider 36 to slide downward and complete the self-locking process.
[0025] A placement box 17 is provided on the top of the support assembly 16. An angle adjustment component 33 is provided between the placement box 17 and the top of the support assembly 16.
