Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of trolleys, in particular to a hands-free trolley walking mechanism facilitating trolley body locking. BACKGROUND

[0002] Trolleys, as a basic and important means of transportation, play an indispensable role in logistics, warehousing, household moving and other fields. The core of its design is to improve the efficiency of moving, reduce the burden on manpower, and meet the diversified transportation needs in different scenarios. The optimization of traditional trolley technology mainly focuses on the core components such as the trolley body, wheels, handles, etc.: the trolley body is usually made of solid metal materials to ensure stability and durability when carrying heavy objects; the wheels are mostly made of rubber or plastic materials to provide good wear resistance and cushioning performance; the handle design focuses on ergonomics to provide a comfortable grip and control.

[0003] However, in terms of trolley locking mechanism, the existing technology has significant deficiencies. Traditional trolleys mostly rely on brake components matched with universal wheels to achieve trolley locking, which requires users to bend over or crouch down, increasing the complexity of use, especially in scenarios that require frequent locking, such as warehouse management, supermarket restocking, etc. Long-term operation can easily lead to user fatigue, affecting work efficiency. More importantly, for users with physical disabilities or existing waist injuries, this operation method brings great inconvenience and may even exacerbate the physical burden.

[0004] In view of the above problems, although some improved designs have been proposed, these designs often only fine-tune the existing brake system and fail to fundamentally solve the problem of users needing to bend over or crouch down to operate the brake components. For example, some designs try to reduce the degree of user bending by optimizing the position or shape of the brake components, but these improvements still cannot completely eliminate the need for users to bend over or crouch down to operate.

[0005] In comparison with existing trolley technology, we found that designs such as Chinese utility model patent CN204196969U "Folding Trolley" and CN218703349U "Locking Assembly and Trolley" have some innovations in specific functions, but still have deficiencies. Specifically, CN204196969U "Folding Trolley" provides a trolley with a simple folding mechanism that is easy to operate, solving the problem of large space occupation when carrying and storing the trolley. However, its locking mechanism still requires users to complete the locking process through specific operations (such as pinching the handle to unlock), and does not directly solve the problem of users needing to bend over or crouch down when locking the trolley. At the same time, in scenarios that require frequent locking and unlocking, this design may increase the operational burden on users.

[0006] CN218703349U "Locking assembly and trolley" proposes a trolley that can be converted between flat pushing and vertical pushing, and its locking assembly design is novel, which can realize the quick conversion of the trolley state. However, the locking operation of this design still requires the user to complete it through a specific action (such as applying force to the control lever), and it does not directly solve the problem of bending over or squatting when the user locks the trolley. In addition, although this trolley design considers different forms of conversion, there is still room for improvement in terms of overall stability and shelf adjustment flexibility to meet higher requirements for trolley stability and shelf flexibility in different scenarios.

[0007] In view of this, the present application proposes an innovative solution - a hands-free trolley walking mechanism that facilitates trolley locking. This mechanism, through ingenious mechanical structure design, realizes the hands-free locking function of the trolley, not only simplifying the operation process and reducing the complexity of use, but also greatly improving the user experience, especially suitable for scenarios that require frequent locking of the trolley and for users with physical disabilities. The present application aims to fill the gap in this field of existing technology, overcome the shortcomings of existing technology through innovative mechanical structure design, promote the further development and improvement of trolley technology, and meet diverse transportation needs. SUMMARY

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a hands-free trolley walking mechanism that facilitates trolley locking, to solve the problems of inconvenient trolley locking, poor adjustment flexibility, and insufficient overall stability in the field of trolley technology, and to overcome the limitations of existing trolleys, such as the need to bend over during locking, insufficient flexibility in adjusting the shelf position, and the tendency to sway or tip over when carrying heavy objects.

The surface of the locking wheel is made of rubber material, and the friction force with the ground is increased. When the vehicle body needs to be locked, the operator does not need to bend over, only needs to hold the handle and rotate, drives the movable column to rotate, and then drives the adjusting seat to rotate through the side column and the connecting rod, so that the locking wheel contacts the ground and generates enough friction force, and the locking of the vehicle body is realized. When unlocking, the handle is reversely rotated, and the locking wheel is separated from the ground.

[0012] Adjusting assembly: installed on the vehicle body, including adjusting component, piston, connecting block, adjusting frame and fixed plate. The adjusting component is a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod, which is installed on the upper end of the base and fixed by bolts. The piston is installed on the output end of the adjusting component, the connecting block is installed on the upper end of the piston and fixed by welding or screw connection. The adjusting frame is installed on the connecting block, the adjusting frame is a rectangular frame structure, the fixed plate is installed on the adjusting frame, and the fixed plate is connected with the storage rack by bolts. The lifting of the piston is controlled by the adjusting component, and then the adjusting frame and the fixed plate are driven to move up and down, so that the position of the storage rack is flexibly adjusted. The adjusting component is provided with a control switch, and the operator can accurately control the lifting height of the storage rack through the control switch.

[0013] Weight block: installed at the bottom of the base, made of high-density metal material, such as cast iron. The shape and size of the weight block are designed according to the overall structure of the trolley and the load demand, and the weight block is fixed at the bottom of the base by bolts, which is used to reduce the center of gravity of the trolley and enhance the stability.

[0014] In addition, the main components such as the vehicle body, the locking assembly, the movable column and the fixed column are made of metal materials such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, and the surface is treated with anti-rust paint or electroplating to improve the corrosion resistance of the components and prolong the service life of the trolley.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a walking mechanical mechanism of a trolley that is easy to lock the vehicle body without bending over. The overall design of the trolley is intended to achieve convenient locking and flexible adjustment to meet diverse article carrying needs.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the body 100, serving as the basic structure of the entire trolley, includes a base 101. The base 101 is U-shaped, providing high structural strength and stability. Wheels 102 are mounted at the four corners of the base 101. These wheels are made of wear-resistant rubber, a material with excellent wear resistance and anti-slip properties. This material is adaptable to various floor conditions, such as concrete and tiled floors, ensuring the trolley's stability during movement.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the trolley body 100 is provided with a frame 103 and a storage rack 104, the frame 103 provides a support frame for the whole trolley, the side rod 105 is installed at the middle part of the frame 103, which further enhances the overall structural strength of the frame and prevents the frame from deforming when carrying heavy objects. The frame 103 is provided with several layers of storage racks 104, and the storage racks 104 are adjustable on the frame 103. The position of the storage rack 104 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and shape of the carried objects, thereby improving the space utilization.

[0030] As shown in Figure 4 The locking assembly 200 is installed on the frame 103 and is one of the key components of the trolley. The locking sleeve 201 of the locking assembly 200 is installed on the upper end of the frame 103, and the other end of the locking sleeve 201 is connected to the movable column 202. The handle 203 and the side column 204 are respectively installed on both sides of the movable column 202, and the handle 203 is rotationally connected with the movable column 202. When it is necessary to lock the trolley, the handle 203 is rotated to drive the side column 204 to rotate together. The fixed column 207 is arranged inside the base 101, and the adjusting seat 206 is rotationally connected to the fixed column 207, and the bottom end of the adjusting seat 206 is provided with the locking wheel 208. The adjusting seat 206 is connected with the side column 204 through the connecting rod 205. When the side column 204 rotates, the adjusting seat 206 is driven to rotate through the connecting rod 205, so that the direction of the locking wheel 208 is perpendicular to the direction of the wheel 102, thereby forming an obstacle and preventing the wheel 102 from rolling, and achieving the locking of the trolley. The spring 300 is installed on the side of the connecting rod 205, and the spring 300 connects the connecting rod 205 with the side rod 105. When it is necessary to unlock the trolley, the handle 203 is reversely rotated, and under the action of the spring 300, the side column 204, the connecting rod 205, the adjusting seat 206 and the locking wheel 208 assembly are quickly reset, the locking wheel 208 is away from the ground, and the wheel 102 returns to the free rolling state.

[0031] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The adjusting assembly 400 is installed on the frame 103 and is used to adjust the distance between the adjusting frame 405 and the storage rack 104. The adjusting component 401 of the adjusting assembly 400 is selected as a gas cylinder, the gas cylinder is installed on the upper end of the base 101, the piston 402 of the gas cylinder is used as an output end, and the adjusting frame 405 is connected through the connecting block 403. The bottom of the adjusting frame 405 is provided with a fixed plate 404, and the bottom of the fixed plate 404 is provided with a positioning cavity, which can enhance the stability of the adjusting frame 405. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the adjusting frame 405 and the storage rack 104, the piston 402 of the gas cylinder is controlled to rise and fall, thereby driving the adjusting frame 405 to move up and down, so as to meet the placement requirements of objects of different sizes.

[0032] The trolley body 100, the locking assembly 200, the movable column 202, the fixed column 207 and the adjusting assembly 400 are all made of metal materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy.

[0033] The back of the trolley frame 103 is also provided with a limiting component for limiting the rotation range of the movable column 202, which can effectively prevent the movable column 202 from rotating excessively. If the movable column 202 rotates excessively, it may cause the locking wheel 208 or the trolley wheel 102 to collide with other components of the trolley body, causing damage to the components and affecting the normal use of the trolley. The provision of the limiting component provides a guarantee for the normal operation of the trolley.

[0034] As shown in Figure 3 The trolley body 100 is provided with a weight block 500 at an appropriate position, which can be installed at a suitable position according to actual conditions, such as the bottom of the base 101. The provision of the weight block 500 can effectively lower the center of gravity of the trolley, making the trolley more stable during the placement of goods or movement, reducing the risk of shaking and tipping over.

[0035] Embodiment 2 In another preferred embodiment, based on embodiment 1, this embodiment also provides a hands-free trolley walking mechanism for locking the trolley body, which differs from embodiment 1 in the material of some components and the specific implementation of the adjusting assembly.

[0036] The base 101 of the trolley body 100 still adopts a U-shaped structure, but the trolley wheel 102 is made of high-strength plastic material. This plastic material has the characteristics of light weight while ensuring a certain wear resistance, which can reduce the overall weight of the trolley and facilitate transportation and movement.

[0037] The trolley frame 103, the side rod 105 and the storage rack 104 have the same structure as in embodiment 1. The side rod 105 is installed in the middle of the trolley frame 103 to enhance the structural strength, and the storage rack 104 is adjustable on the trolley frame 103 to meet the placement needs of different goods.

[0038] The structure and working principle of the locking assembly 200 are consistent with those of embodiment 1. The locking sleeve 201 is installed on the upper end of the trolley frame 103 and connected to the movable column 202. The handles 203 on both sides of the movable column 202 and the side columns 204 cooperate to rotate the side columns 204 by rotating the handles 203, and then rotate the adjusting seat 206 through the connecting rod 205 to make the locking wheel 208 touch the ground or leave the ground, realizing the locking and unlocking of the trolley. The spring 300 connects the connecting rod 205 and the side rod 105 for resetting of the assembly.

[0039] The adjusting assembly 400 in the embodiment adopts an electric push rod as the adjusting component 401. The electric push rod is installed on the upper end of the base 101, and the output end thereof is connected to the adjusting frame 405 through a connecting block 403. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the adjusting frame 405 and the storage rack 104, the adjusting frame 405 is driven to move up and down by controlling the extension and retraction of the electric push rod. The electric push rod has the advantages of high control precision and smooth operation, and can more accurately adjust the position of the adjusting frame 405 to meet the placement requirements of different articles. The fixed plate 404 at the bottom of the adjusting frame 405 and the design of the positioning cavity thereof are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and play a role in enhancing stability.

[0040] The components such as the vehicle body 100, the locking assembly 200, the movable column 202, and the fixed column 207 are also made of metal materials to ensure structural stability and durability. The setting and role of the limiting component at the back of the vehicle frame 103 and the weight block 500 on the vehicle body 100 are consistent with those in Embodiment 1, and the limiting component prevents the movable column 202 from being excessively rotated, and the weight block 500 enhances the stability of the trolley.

[0041] Embodiment 3 In another preferred embodiment, on the basis of Embodiments 1 and 2, the present embodiment provides a hands-free trolley walking mechanism facilitating locking of the vehicle body, which continues the characteristics of convenient locking and flexible adjustment of the foregoing embodiments in overall design, and optimizes some structural details and material selection.

[0042] The base 101 of the vehicle body 100 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy by integral forming process, which makes the base 101 have better overallity and structural strength and can withstand greater weight without being easily deformed. The base 101 still has a U-shaped structure, and the wheels 102 installed at the four corners thereof are made of polyurethane material. The wheels 102 made of polyurethane material have the advantages of good elasticity, wear resistance, and tear resistance, and can effectively buffer vibration during movement to reduce the impact on the vehicle body and the transported articles, and can also adapt to various complex ground environments, such as rough cement ground and greasy ground.

[0043] The vehicle frame 103 is welded from a carbon steel square tube, which has high strength and rigidity and can provide stable support for components such as the storage rack 104. The side rods 105 are installed in the middle of the vehicle frame 103 and are connected to the vehicle frame 103 by bolt fastening, which facilitates disassembly and installation and is convenient for maintenance and repair of the vehicle body. The vehicle frame 103 is provided with three layers of storage racks 104, and the storage racks 104 are made of plastic grid plate material, which has the advantages of light weight, good ventilation, and low cost, and is suitable for placing various articles, especially some articles that need ventilation, such as vegetables and fruits. The storage racks 104 are connected to the vehicle frame 103 through sliding rails and can slide up and down along the vehicle frame 103 to realize flexible adjustment of the position.

[0044] The locking assembly 200 is installed on the upper end of the frame 103. The lock sleeve 201 is made of nylon material, which has the characteristics of wear resistance and self-lubrication, can reduce the friction between the movable column 202 and the lock sleeve 201, and prolong the service life of the components. The movable column 202 is made of stainless steel material, which has high strength and corrosion resistance. The handles 203 on both sides of the movable column 202 are designed with ergonomics, and the surface has anti-slip texture, which is convenient for the operator to hold and rotate. The side column 204 is connected with the movable column 202 through a key, which ensures the synchronization and stability during rotation. The fixed column 207 is installed on the reinforcing plate inside the base 101, which further enhances the installation stability of the fixed column 207. The adjusting seat 206 is connected with the fixed column 207 through a bearing, which makes the rotation of the adjusting seat 206 more flexible. The locking wheel 208 is made of rubber material, and the surface has convex anti-slip lines, which increases the friction with the ground and improves the locking effect. The connecting rod 205 is made of aluminum alloy material, which is light in quality and sufficient in strength. The spring 300 is selected as a compression spring, and its elastic coefficient is accurately calculated to ensure that the side column 204 and other components are quickly reset when unlocked.

[0045] The adjusting component 401 of the adjusting assembly 400 is a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder is installed on the upper end of the base 101, and the lifting of the piston 402 is controlled by the hydraulic system. The connecting block 403 is connected with the piston 402 and the adjusting frame 405 through bolts, which ensures the stability of the connection. The adjusting frame 405 adopts an aluminum alloy frame structure, which is light in quality and high in strength. The fixed plate 404 is welded with the adjusting frame 405, and a rubber shock pad is installed in the positioning cavity to reduce vibration and noise during adjustment.

[0046] The main components such as the vehicle body 100, the locking assembly 200, the movable column 202, and the fixed column 207 are made of metal materials, and the surface is treated with anti-rust treatment such as painting or electroplating to improve the corrosion resistance of the components and prolong the service life of the trolley. The limiting component installed on the back of the frame 103 is a limiting bolt, and by adjusting the position of the limiting bolt, the rotation range of the movable column 202 can be accurately controlled to prevent excessive rotation and damage to the components. The weight block 500 is made of cast iron material and is installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 101, which effectively lowers the center of gravity of the trolley and enhances the stability.

[0047] Example 4 In another preferred embodiment, based on examples 1, 2, and 3, this embodiment provides a hands-free trolley walking mechanical mechanism that is convenient for locking the vehicle body, which is consistent with the previous embodiments in function implementation, but has new characteristics in structure design and technical application.

[0048] The base 101 of the vehicle body 100 is made of glass fiber reinforced plastic. The glass fiber reinforced plastic has the advantages of light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for use in some occasions with high requirements for weight and corrosion resistance. The U-shaped structure of the base 101 is designed with reinforcing ribs to further improve the structural strength of the base. The wheels 102 are made of solid rubber tires. The solid rubber tires do not need to be inflated, avoiding the risk of tire blowout, and have good wear resistance and puncture resistance, and can be used normally in bad road conditions.

[0049] The frame 103 is made of stainless steel pipe. The stainless steel pipe has a smooth surface and good corrosion resistance. The bending process makes the frame 103 have a unique shape and good mechanical properties. The side rod 105 is connected to the frame 103 by welding and bolting, ensuring the firmness of the connection. Two layers of shelves 104 are provided on the frame 103. The shelves 104 are made of wooden boards, which give a natural and warm feeling, suitable for placing some high-quality materials such as handicrafts and food. The shelves 104 are connected to the frame 103 by buckles, making installation and removal convenient and fast.

[0050] The lock sleeve 201 of the locking assembly 200 is installed in a specially designed groove on the upper end of the frame 103, increasing the installation stability of the lock sleeve. The movable column 202 is made of titanium alloy, which has the advantages of high strength, low density and corrosion resistance, effectively reducing the overall weight of the trolley. The handle 203 is designed as a foldable type, which can be folded up when not in use, reducing the occupied space. The side column 204 is connected to the movable column 202 through a spline, improving the reliability and transmission efficiency of the connection. The fixed column 207 is installed on a metal bracket inside the base 101, which is connected to the base 101 by bolts, facilitating disassembly and maintenance. The adjusting seat 206 is connected to the fixed column 207 by a ball bearing, making the rotation of the adjusting seat 206 smoother. The locking wheel 208 is made of high-strength plastic material, with metal inlaid anti-slip strips on the surface, ensuring the strength of the locking wheel and improving the anti-slip performance. The connecting rod 205 is made of carbon fiber material, with high strength and low weight. The spring 300 is a torsion spring installed between the movable column 202 and the lock sleeve 201, which resets the assembly through torsion.

[0051] The adjusting component 401 of the adjusting assembly 400 is an electric screw. The electric screw is installed on the upper end of the base 101 and driven by a motor to rotate the screw, thereby lifting the piston 402. The connecting block 403 is connected to the piston 402 and the adjusting frame 405 by rivets, ensuring the firmness of the connection. The adjusting frame 405 is made of a plastic frame structure, which is light in weight and low in cost.
