Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wheeled mobility devices, and in particular to a trolley. Background Technology

[0002] Strollers are an essential tool for parents taking infants and toddlers out, requiring not only safety and comfort but also ease of carrying and storage. Strollers with rear-wheel drift steering are particularly popular due to their maneuverability and smooth pushing experience. These strollers allow for rear-wheel drift steering via a drift control unit on the handlebars, enabling easy maneuvering even in confined spaces.

[0003] Currently, most drift control units are mounted on the frame and connected to the drift locking mechanism via a transmission mechanism (such as a steel cable) for control. However, mounting the drift control unit on the frame makes it difficult to fold the frame and results in a large overall folded frame volume. Furthermore, while some frames can fold, they often suffer from short lifespans of the transmission mechanism, inability to mount the drift control unit on the frame, and inconvenient operation. Typically, to reduce the overall folded size of the cart, the frame itself needs to be further designed to fold. This places higher demands on the overall structure of the cart, especially the internal space design of the pivot joints, but current designs often fail to meet these requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0025] In one embodiment, the first pivot seat has a movable channel, through which the drift traction member passes and extends into the cavity of the rear wheel frame.

[0026] In one embodiment, the second locking mechanism further includes: a second locking member movably disposed between the first pivot seat and the third pivot seat along the second axis and having a second locking position and a second unlocking position; and a pushing member rotatably disposed between the first pivot seat and the third pivot seat along the second axis and adjacent to the second locking member, the pushing member being adapted to drive the second locking member to move from the second locking position to the second unlocking position; when in the second locking position, the first pivot seat and the third pivot seat are relatively fixed; when in the second unlocking position, the first pivot seat is pivotable relative to the third pivot seat.

[0035] In one embodiment, the first locking mechanism includes: a first connecting seat connected to the upper frame; a second connecting seat connected to the lower frame and pivotally connected to the first connecting seat; a first locking member movably disposed on one of the first and second connecting seats, the other of the first and second connecting seats having a locking recess, the first locking member being adapted to extend into the locking recess to restrict the first connecting seat from pivoting relative to the second connecting seat; and a first traction member connecting the first locking member and the first unlocking member; when the actuating member is in the first position and the operating member is operated, the first traction member drives the first locking member to retract from the locking recess to allow the first connecting seat to pivot relative to the second connecting seat.

[0036] In one embodiment, the first locking mechanism includes: a first connecting seat connected to the upper frame; a second connecting seat connected to the lower frame and pivotally connected to the first connecting seat; a first locking member movably disposed between the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat along a first axial direction to restrict or allow relative pivoting between them; a second driving member movably disposed between the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat and adjacent to the first locking member, the second driving member being adapted to drive the first locking member to move; and a first traction member connecting the second driving member and the first unlocking member; when the actuating member is in the first position and the operating member is operated, the first traction member drives the first locking member to unlock via the second driving member, thereby allowing the first connecting seat to pivot relative to the second connecting seat.

[0037] In one embodiment, the wheel frame includes a front wheel frame and a rear wheel frame; the second locking mechanism includes a second locking member and a first pivot seat, a second pivot seat, and a third pivot seat pivotally connected to each other about a second axis, wherein the second pivot seat is located between the first pivot seat and the third pivot seat along the second axis, the first pivot seat is connected to the dismount handframe, the second pivot seat is connected to the front wheel frame, the third pivot seat is connected to the rear wheel frame, and the second locking member is movably disposed between the first pivot seat and the third pivot seat along the second axis to restrict or allow relative pivoting between them.

[0038] In one embodiment, the second locking mechanism further includes: a pusher rotatably disposed between the first pivot and the third pivot and adjacent to the second locking member, the pusher being adapted to drive the second locking member to move to allow the first pivot and the third pivot to pivot relative to each other; and a second traction member connecting the pusher and the first pivot; when the first pivot is pivoted relative to the second pivot, the second traction member drives the pusher to rotate by rotating the first pivot, thereby driving the second locking member to move.

[0039] In one embodiment, the drift locking mechanism includes a drift locking member and a drift traction member. The drift locking member is movably disposed on the wheel frame and adapted to lock or release the wheel seat. The drift traction member is disposed within the wheel frame and the rider frame. The release operation mechanism is disposed on the upper rider frame. One end of the drift traction member passes through the first locking mechanism and is drivenly connected to the release operation mechanism, and the other end passes through the second locking mechanism and is connected to the drift locking member.

[0040] In one embodiment, the wheel seat is provided with a locking recess adapted to engage with the drift lock; when the release mechanism is operated, the release mechanism drives the drift lock to retract from the locking recess via the drift traction member.

[0041] In one embodiment, when the first locking mechanism is released, the upper handrail can pivot relative to the lower handrail to put the trolley in a folded state, and the wheels are on the same plane as the first locking mechanism and jointly support the trolley.

[0042] In the aforementioned trolley, the upper handlebar is pivotally connected to the lower handlebar via a first locking mechanism, and the lower handlebar is pivotally connected to the wheel frame via a second locking mechanism. Therefore, the user can release both the first and second locking mechanisms via a release mechanism, allowing the upper handlebar to fold relative to the lower handlebar, and the lower handlebar to fold relative to the wheel frame. This allows the trolley to fold in a three-fold manner, resulting in a smaller folded volume for easier storage and transport. Furthermore, the folded trolley can stand upright on the ground, supported by the wheels and the first locking mechanism, further reducing its footprint. Given the trolley's smaller folded volume, the release mechanism is located on the handlebar, facilitating user operation and improving ease of use. Since the release mechanism can also be connected to a drift locking mechanism, the user can control whether the wheels drift and steer by operating the release mechanism. Furthermore, because the drift traction component in the drift locking mechanism is cleverly positioned within the cavities of the rider frame and wheel frame, passing through both the first and second locking mechanisms, this fully utilizes the space of each pivot joint on the cart, protecting the drift traction component and extending its service life. It is important to emphasize that, in the aforementioned cart, although the drift traction component passes through the first and second locking mechanisms, the folding of the cart does not affect the drift locking mechanism, and therefore does not affect the cart's drift steering. Similarly, releasing the drift locking mechanism does not affect the cart's folding. In other words, the folding and drifting of the cart are independent processes that do not interfere with each other. That is, when the cart is folded, the state of the wheels (i.e., locked steering or allowed steering) is unaffected; similarly, releasing the wheel's drift steering does not affect the cart's state. Specifically, the user selectively controls whether the cart folds and drifts by operating the release mechanism. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0075] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0076] Figure 1 A perspective view of a stroller 1000 according to some embodiments of the present invention is schematically shown. The stroller 1000 is generally bilaterally symmetrical in structure and can be used to carry children or pets, etc., without specific limitations. The stroller 1000 may include, for example, a handlebar 100, a wheel frame 200, and a release mechanism 400. The handlebar 100 and the wheel frame 200 are pivotally connected to each other so that the stroller 1000 can be in an unfolded state (see...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 ) and folded status (see Figure 3 The release mechanism 400 can be mounted on the handframe 100 and operated by the user, and can control the trolley 1000 to switch between the unfolded and folded states. The following description of the trolley 1000 will also include a further explanation of the specific structure and working principle of components such as the handframe 100, wheel frame 200, and release mechanism 400.

[0077] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 In the first embodiment, the hoist 100 includes an upper hoist 110, a lower hoist 120, and a first locking mechanism 130. The upper hoist 110 and the lower hoist 120 are pivotally connected by the first locking mechanism 130. Specifically, the first locking mechanism 130 includes a first connecting seat 131, a second connecting seat 132, and a first pivot 1316. The first connecting seat 131 and the second connecting seat 132 are pivotally connected to the first pivot 1316, and the first pivot 1316 can restrict the separation of the first connecting seat 131 and the second connecting seat 132 along a first axial direction. Specifically, the first connecting seat 131 is connected to the upper hoist 110, and the second connecting seat 132 is connected to the lower hoist 120. Therefore, when the first connecting seat 131 rotates relative to the second connecting seat 132 about the first pivot 1316, the upper hoist 110 can pivot relative to the lower hoist 120, thereby causing the hoist 100 as a whole to fold or unfold.

[0078] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the upper handle 110 is, for example, generally U-shaped, and includes a push handle 112 and two first support rods 111. The two first support rods 111 are spaced apart approximately along a first direction F1 and are parallel to each other. The first direction F1 corresponds to the left-right direction. The push handle 112 is U-shaped and connects between the two first support rods 111, for use by a user to grip and push the trolley 1000. The lower handle 120 includes, for example, two second support rods 121. The upper ends of the two second support rods 121 are, for example, pivotally connected to the lower ends of the first support rods 111 on the same side via a first locking mechanism 130. Specifically, the lower ends of the first support rods 111 are connected to a first connecting seat 131, and the upper ends of the second support rods 121 are connected to a second connecting seat 132. When the first connecting seat 131 rotates about the first pivot 1316 relative to the second connecting seat 132, the first support rod 111 moves closer to the second support rod 121 to fold or moves further apart to unfold.

[0079] It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the directional terms such as "left" and "right" used in the various embodiments of the present invention refer to the "left" and "right" orientations of the stroller 1000 during normal operation, and the "left" and "right" directions are schematically indicated by arrows L and R in the figures. These directional terms are only used to make the description of the embodiments of the present invention clearer and are not intended to unduly limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0080] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the upper handrail 110 and the lower handrail 120 are further restricted or allowed to pivot relative to each other by a first locking mechanism 130. Specifically, the first locking mechanism 130 further includes a first locking member 1371 and a locking recess 1372. The first locking member 1371 is movably disposed on one of the first connecting seat 131 and the second connecting seat 132, and the locking recess 1372 is disposed on the other of the first connecting seat 131 and the second connecting seat 132. The first locking member 1371 is adapted to lock into the locking recess 1372 to restrict the pivoting of the first connecting seat 131 relative to the second connecting seat 132. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first locking member 1371 is movably disposed on the first connecting seat 131, and the locking recess 1372 is formed on the second connecting seat 132. When the first locking member 1371 extends into the locking recess 1372 to lock into the locking recess 1372, the first connecting seat 131 is restricted from pivoting relative to the second connecting seat 132. This allows the upper frame 110 and the lower frame 120 to maintain a relatively extended state, meaning the upper frame 110 and the lower frame 120 are approximately parallel and located in the same plane, with an included angle αa of approximately 180° (see...). Figure 1 and Figure 2When the first locking member 1371 retracts from the locking recess 1372 to release the locking from the locking recess 1372, the first connecting seat 131 is allowed to pivot relative to the second connecting seat 132. This allows the upper frame 110 and the lower frame 120 to be folded together to reduce the overall volume of the frame 100. After the upper frame 110 and the lower frame 120 are folded, the included angle αa between them approaches 0° (see...). Figure 3 ).

[0081] It should be noted that when the upper frame 110 and the lower frame 120 are in a relatively unfolded state, the included angle αa between them can be greater than or less than 180°; after the upper frame 110 and the lower frame 120 are folded, the included angle αa between them can also be greater than 0°, and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0082] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the wheel frame 200 includes a front wheel frame 210 and a rear wheel frame 220 pivotally connected to each other. Specifically, the front wheel frame 210 is, for example, U-shaped, and includes front members 211 located on the left and right sides and a front crossbar 212 connected between the two front members 211. The front crossbar 212 extends generally along a first direction F1. The trolley 1000 also includes at least one wheel seat 310 (hereinafter referred to as front wheel seat 310A) mounted to the bottom of the front wheel frame 210 and at least one wheel 320 (hereinafter referred to as front wheel 320A) mounted to the at least one wheel seat 310. In this embodiment, two front wheel seats 310A are mounted on the bottom of the front wheel frame 210, and the two front wheel seats 310A are spaced apart in the left-right direction (i.e., the first direction F1). More specifically, the two front wheel seats 310A are generally mounted at the left and right ends of the front crossbar 212, and each front wheel seat 310A is used to mount a front wheel 320A. The front wheel mount 310A is rotatably connected to the front wheel 320A. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the front wheel frame 210 may have other implementations. For example, the front wheel frame 210 may include only two front struts 211, with one end of each strut connected to form a V-shaped structure. A front wheel mount 310A may be centrally mounted at the bottom of the front wheel frame 210. Alternatively, the front wheel frame 210 may include only two front struts 211 spaced apart in the left-right direction, with the two front wheel mounts 310A connected to the two front struts 211 respectively.

[0083] Please continue reading Figure 1In one embodiment, the rear wheel frame 220 is, for example, U-shaped, including two rear rods 221 located on the left and right sides and a rear crossbar 222 connected between the two rear rods 221, the rear crossbar 222 extending along a first direction F1. The trolley 1000 also includes at least one wheel seat 310 (hereinafter referred to as rear wheel seat 310B) mounted to the bottom of the rear wheel frame 220 and at least one wheel 320 (hereinafter referred to as rear wheel 320B) mounted to the at least one wheel seat 310. In this embodiment, two rear wheel seats 310B are mounted on the bottom of the rear wheel frame 220, and the two rear wheel seats 310B are spaced apart in the left-right direction (i.e., the first direction F1). More specifically, in this embodiment, as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the rear wheel carrier 220 also includes at least two mounting seats 223, which are mounted on the left and right ends of the rear crossbar 222; or, the two mounting seats 223 are respectively connected to two rear struts 221. Each mounting seat 223 is connected to a rear wheel seat 310B, and each rear wheel seat 310B is used to mount a rear wheel 320B. More specifically, the rear wheel seat 310B is rotatably connected to the rear wheel 320B, and the rear wheel seat 310B is rotatably connected to the corresponding mounting seat 223 via a connecting shaft 330. Of course, in another alternative embodiment, the rear wheel carrier 220 may have other implementations, such as the rear wheel carrier 220 including only two rear struts 221 and one mounting seat 223, with one end of the two rear struts 221 connected to make the rear wheel carrier 220 have a V-shaped structure, and a mounting seat 223 can be centrally mounted on the bottom of the rear wheel carrier 220 for connecting the rear wheel seat 310B. Alternatively, for example, the rear wheel frame 220 may only include two rear struts 221 spaced apart in the left-right direction and two mounting seats 223, with the two mounting seats 223 respectively connected to the two rear struts 221.

[0084] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the trolley 1000 is further provided with a drift locking mechanism 240, which restricts or allows the wheel seat 310 to rotate relative to the wheel frame 200. Specifically, the drift locking mechanism 240 restricts or allows the rear wheel seat 310B to rotate relative to the mounting base 223 of the rear wheel frame 220. When the rear wheel seat 310B is fixed relative to the mounting base 223, the rear wheel 320B can only rotate about its axis relative to the rear wheel frame 220, the steering of the trolley 1000 is locked, and the trolley 1000 can move forward or backward in a straight line. When the rear wheel seat 310B is rotatable relative to the mounting base 223, the rear wheel 320B can rotate about its axis relative to the rear wheel frame 220 and can rotate about a direction perpendicular to the axis of the rear wheel frame 220 (i.e., about the circumferential direction of the connecting shaft 330) relative to the rear wheel frame 220, thus allowing the trolley 1000 to perform a steering drift operation.

[0085] In this embodiment, as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the drift locking mechanism 240 includes a drift locking member 242 and a locking recess 243. The wheel seat 310 (specifically, the rear wheel seat 310B) is provided with the locking recess 243, and the drift locking member 242 is movably mounted on the wheel frame 200 (specifically, the mounting seat 223 on the rear wheel frame 220) and adapted to cooperate with the locking recess 243 to restrict the rotation of the wheel seat 310. Specifically, as... Figure 6 As shown, when the drift locking member 242 extends into the locking recess 243 to lock into the locking recess 243, the rear wheel seat 310B is restricted from rotating relative to the mounting base 223, thereby restricting the drift steering of the trolley 1000. When the drift locking member 242 retracts from the locking recess 243 to unlock from the locking recess 243, the rear wheel seat 310B is allowed to rotate relative to the mounting base 223, thereby allowing the trolley 1000 to drift steering.

[0086] See Figure 6 In one embodiment, the drift locking mechanism 240 further includes a third reset member 244, which abuts between the mounting base 223 and the drift locking member 242, and is used to provide an elastic restoring force to the drift locking member 242 so that the drift locking member 242 always has a tendency to extend into the locking recess 243. The third reset member 244 may be, for example, an elastic component such as a spring or a sheet.

[0087] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, the trolley 1000 is further provided with a second locking mechanism 230, through which the lower handle 120 and the wheel frame 200 are pivotally connected. Specifically, the second locking mechanism 230 includes a first pivot seat 231, a second pivot seat 232, and a third pivot seat 233 pivotally connected to each other about a second axis. The second pivot seat 232 is located between the first pivot seat 231 and the third pivot seat 233 along the second axis. The first pivot seat 231 is connected to the handle 100, the second pivot seat 232 is connected to the front wheel frame 210, and the third pivot seat 233 is connected to the rear wheel frame 220. Specifically, in this embodiment, the lower end of the lower handrail 120 (specifically the second support rod 121) is connected to the first pivot seat 231, the top end of the front wheel frame 210 (specifically the front rod 211) is connected to the second pivot seat 232, and the top end of the rear wheel frame 220 (specifically the rear rod 221) is connected to the third pivot seat 233. Of course, in other embodiments, the second pivot seat 232 can also be connected to the rear wheel frame 220, and the third pivot seat 233 can also be connected to the front wheel frame 210; no specific limitation is made here. Thus, when the first pivot seat 231, the second pivot seat 232, and the third pivot seat 233 pivot relative to each other, the front wheel frame 210, the rear wheel frame 220, and the handrail 100 can be folded or unfolded relative to each other, thereby allowing the trolley 1000 to be in the unfolded state (see...). Figure 1 ) and folded status (see Figure 3 Switching between ( ) Specifically, when the trolley 1000 is in the unfolded state, the handlebar frame 100, the front wheel frame 210, and the rear wheel frame 220 are spaced apart circumferentially, with the handlebar frame 100 and the front wheel frame 210 approximately on the same plane. The rear wheel frame 220 is located circumferentially between the front wheel frame 210 and the handlebar frame 100, and the front wheel frame 210 and the rear wheel frame 220 are positioned at a first included angle α1 (see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rider frame 100 and the front wheel frame 210 are set at a second included angle α2 (see...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the trolley 1000 is in the folded state, the handlebar frame 100 is circumferentially close to the rear wheel frame 220, and the front wheel frame 210 and the rear wheel frame 220 are circumferentially close to each other, with the front wheel frame 210 and the rear wheel frame 220 forming a third included angle α3 (see...). Figure 3 The rider frame 100 and the front wheel frame 210 are set at a fourth included angle α4 (see...). Figure 3 ), where the third included angle α3 is less than the first included angle α1, and the fourth included angle α4 is less than the second included angle α2.

[0088] In one embodiment, the dismount handrail 120 and wheel frame 200 can also be restricted or allowed to pivot relative to each other by a second locking mechanism 230. Specifically, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the second locking mechanism 230 further includes a second locking member 234, which is movably disposed along a second axis between the first pivot 231 and the third pivot 233 and is used to restrict or allow relative pivoting between them. More specifically, the second locking member 234 has a second locking position and a second unlocking position between the first pivot 231 and the third pivot 233. When the second locking member 234 is in the second locking position (see...), Figure 10 The first pivot 231 and the third pivot 233 are fixed relative to each other; when the second locking member 234 is in the second unlocking position, the first pivot 231 can pivot relative to the third pivot 233.

[0089] Please continue reading Figure 9 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, the second locking member 234 is a gear structure. The first pivot seat 231 has a generally circular first receiving cavity 2312 on the side facing the second pivot seat 232, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced first locking grooves 2313 disposed on the inner wall of the first receiving cavity 2312. The third pivot seat 233 has a generally circular third receiving cavity 2331 on the side facing the second pivot seat 232, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced third locking grooves 2332 disposed on the inner wall of the third receiving cavity 2331. Figure 10As shown, when the second locking member 234 is in the second locked position, one end of the second locking member 234 along the second axial direction is located in the first receiving cavity 2312, and the other end is located in the third receiving cavity 2331. Thus, multiple protrusions on the outer periphery of the second locking member 234 simultaneously engage with multiple first locking grooves 2313 and multiple third locking grooves 2332 along the second axial direction. When the second locking member 234 is in the second unlocked position, the second locking member 234 can be completely moved into the first receiving cavity 2312 or the third receiving cavity 2331. Correspondingly, the multiple protrusions on the outer periphery of the second locking member 234 engage only with the multiple first locking grooves 2313 or the third locking grooves 2332 along the second axial direction. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the second locking member 234 is in the second unlocked position, the second locking member 234 is completely moved into the third receiving cavity 2331.

[0090] Please continue reading Figure 9 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, the second locking mechanism 230 further includes a second reset member 237, which is located along a second axial direction between the second locking member 234 and the third pivot seat 233 and is used to provide an elastic restoring force to the second locking member 234 so that the second locking member 234 is held in the second locked position. The second reset member 237 can be, for example, an elastic component such as a spring or a spring sheet. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second reset member 237 is a compression spring, with both ends abutting between the second locking member 234 and the third pivot seat 233.

[0091] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 9 In one embodiment, the trolley 1000 further includes a folding mechanism 500 disposed between the front wheel frame 210 and the rear wheel frame 220 and drivenly connected to the second locking mechanism 230. When the first pivot seat 231 pivots relative to the third pivot seat 233, the folding mechanism 500 can drive the second pivot seat 232 to pivot relative to the third pivot seat 233, thereby allowing the front wheel frame 210 and the rear wheel frame 220 to move closer together to fold the wheel frame 200 or move away from each other to unfold the wheel frame 200. When the first pivot seat 231 and the third pivot seat 233 remain relatively fixed, the folding mechanism 500 can restrict the pivoting of the second pivot seat 232 relative to the third pivot seat 233.

[0092] In this embodiment, when both the first locking mechanism 130 and the second locking mechanism 230 are released, i.e., when the first locking member 1371 is in the first released position and the second locking member 234 is in the second released position, the upper frame 110 can pivot and fold relative to the lower frame 120, and the lower frame 120 can pivot and fold relative to the rear wheel frame 220, and the front wheel frame 210 can pivot and fold relative to the rear wheel frame 220, thus allowing the trolley 1000 to be in a folded state. Figure 3 As shown, when the trolley 1000 is in the folded state, the wheels 320 on the wheel frame 200 (including the front wheel frame 210 and the rear wheel frame 220) are on the same horizontal plane as the first locking mechanism 130. When the trolley 1000 is placed on a horizontal surface, the wheels 320 and the first locking mechanism 130 each form a support point with the ground, and the two cooperate to support the trolley 1000 so that the trolley 1000 can be placed upright.

[0093] In this embodiment, the release mechanism 400 can be driven and cooperated with the first locking mechanism 130, the second locking mechanism 230, and the drift locking mechanism 240. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the release mechanism 400 is specifically mounted on the push handle 112 of the upper frame 110, which facilitates user operation of the release mechanism 400. In this embodiment, the release mechanism 400 has a first release state and a second release state. Specifically, when the release mechanism 400 is in the first release state, it releases the first locking mechanism 130 and / or the second locking mechanism 230. In other words, the release mechanism 400 can release at least one of the first locking mechanism 130 and the second locking mechanism 230. For example, in this embodiment, the release mechanism 400 releases the first locking mechanism 130, and the first locking mechanism 130 drives the second locking mechanism 230 to release (the specific principle can be found below). Of course, in other embodiments, the release mechanism 400 can also release the second locking mechanism 230, and the second locking mechanism 230 drives the first locking mechanism 130 to release; or, the release mechanism 400 can simultaneously release the first locking mechanism 130 and the second locking mechanism 230. Specifically, when the first locking mechanism 130 releases, it allows the first connecting seat 131 to pivot relative to the second connecting seat 132, thereby allowing the upper handrail 110 to pivot relative to the lower handrail 120; when the second locking mechanism 230 releases, it allows the first pivot seat 231 and the third pivot seat 233 to pivot relative to each other, thereby allowing the lower handrail 120 to pivot relative to the wheel frame 200. This allows the trolley 1000 to switch from an unfolded state to a folded state (from...). Figure 1 Towards Figure 3 (Switching). When the release operation mechanism 400 is in the second release state, the release operation mechanism 400 releases the drift locking mechanism 240 to allow the rear wheel seat 310B to rotate relative to the rear wheel frame 220.

[0094] Optionally, in other embodiments, the second locking mechanism 230 can be omitted, and the trolley 1000 as a whole can be kept in the unfolded state by the first locking mechanism 130. Specifically, the release mechanism 400 can release the first locking mechanism 130, and when the first locking mechanism 130 is released, the trolley 1000 as a whole can be folded up.

[0095] The following, with reference to relevant diagrams, details the cooperation relationship between the release mechanism 400 and the first locking mechanism 130, the second locking mechanism 230, and the drift locking mechanism 240.

[0096] See Figure 11 In one embodiment, the release mechanism 400 includes a first release member 410, a second release member 420, and an operating member 430. The first release member 410 and the second release member 420 can both be disc-shaped, for example, and are rotatably mounted on the push handle 112 of the rider frame 100 via connecting members such as pins. The first release member 410 is drivenly connected to the first locking mechanism 130 (in conjunction with...). Figure 5 and Figure 11 This allows the upper handrail 110 to pivot relative to the lower handrail 120. The second release element 420 is driven connected to the drift locking mechanism 240 (in conjunction with...). Figure 6 and Figure 11 This allows the wheel seat 310B to rotate relative to the wheel frame 200. Specifically, the operating element 430 is movably mounted on the rider frame 100 and selectively drives either the first release element 410 or the second release element 420 to rotate.

[0097] Please continue reading Figure 11 In this embodiment, the release mechanism 400 further includes a first linkage 440, a second linkage 450, and a toggle member 460. The first linkage 440 is driven to the first release member 410, the second linkage 450 is driven to the second release member 420, and the toggle member 460 is connected to both the first linkage 440 and the second linkage 450. Specifically, the toggle member 460 is movably mounted on the rider frame 100 and can switch between a first position and a second position, thereby moving the first linkage 440 and the second linkage 450 along a first direction F1. More specifically, when the toggle member 460 is in the first position, the operating member 430 is operated (e.g., pressed) to push the first linkage 440 to move along a second direction F2, causing the first release member 410 to rotate. When the actuating member 460 is in the second position, the operating member 430 is operated to push the second linkage member 450 to move along the second direction F2, thereby causing the second release member 420 to rotate. The first direction F1 intersects the second direction F2.

[0098] See you again Figure 11 In this embodiment, the first unlocking member 410 is provided with a first driving part 411. The first driving part 411 is offset from the rotation center of the first unlocking member 410. For example, it can be arranged in a straight line or in a non-linear shape, but it is not limited thereto. Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 11The first locking mechanism 130 also includes a first traction member 138. The first drive portion 411 of the first release member 410 is connected to the first locking member 1371 via the first traction member 138. In other words, the first traction member 138 connects the first release member 410 (e.g., the first drive portion 411) and the first locking member 1371. Therefore, when the actuating member 460 is in the first position and the operating member 430 is operated by the user to make the first release member 410 rotate about its rotation center, the first drive portion 411 will rotate synchronously about the rotation center of the first release member 410, which will drive the first traction member 138 to move to pull the first locking member 1371 to move and retract from the locking recess 1372, thereby allowing the first connecting seat 131 to pivot relative to the second connecting seat 132.

[0099] In one embodiment, the first locking mechanism 130 further includes a first reset member 143 (see...) Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first reset member 143 abuts between the first locking member 1371 and the first connecting seat 131 or the upper frame 110, and is used to provide an elastic restoring force to the first locking member 1371 so that the first locking member 1371 always has a tendency to extend into the locking recess 1372. The first reset member 143 can be, for example, an elastic component such as a spring or a spring sheet.

[0100] In this embodiment, as Figure 9 As shown, the second locking mechanism 230 further includes a pusher 235. The pusher 235 is disposed along a second axial direction between the first pivot 231 and the third pivot 233 and adjacent to the second locking member 234. Furthermore, the pusher 235 is rotatably disposed between the first pivot 231 and the third pivot 233 and has an initial position and an unlocked position. The pusher 235 is adapted to drive the second locking member 234 from the second locked position to the second unlocked position. Specifically, when the pusher 235 rotates from the initial position to the unlocked position, the pusher 235 can drive the second locking member 234 from the second locked position to the second unlocked position.

[0101] See Figure 9To achieve the conversion of the pusher 235 from rotational motion to driving the second locking member 234 to move along the second axial direction, in one embodiment, the first pivot 231 is provided with a first abutment (not shown in the figure), which is adapted to abut against the pusher 235. When the pusher 235 is in the initial position, the first abutment can contact the pusher 235; when the pusher 235 rotates from the initial position to the unlocked position, the pusher 235 abuts against the first abutment and moves along the second axial direction along the axial force generated by the first abutment, thereby pushing the second locking member 234 to move along the second axial direction from the second locked position to the second unlocked position. Of course, in other embodiments, the pusher 235 may, for example, be provided with a pusher (not shown in the figure), which protrudes along the second axial direction and extends obliquely in the circumferential direction, and the second locking member 234 has a second abutment (not shown in the figure), which protrudes along the second axial direction and extends obliquely in the circumferential direction. The pushing part and the second abutting part abut against each other along the second axis, and when the pushing member 235 is in the initial position, the pushing part and the second abutting part are engaged with each other. Therefore, when the pushing member 235 rotates from the initial position to the unlocked position, the pushing part will push the second abutting part to move, thereby driving the second locking member 234 to move along the second axis from the second locked position to the second unlocked position.

[0102] Please combine Figure 4 and Figure 9 In one embodiment, the first locking mechanism 130 further includes a first driving member 136, which is fixedly connected to the first connecting seat 131 and coaxially disposed with the first pivot 1316. Therefore, when the first connecting seat 131 rotates about the first pivot 1316 relative to the second connecting seat 132, the first driving member 136 rotates with the first connecting seat 131 about the first pivot 1316. Further, in one embodiment, the second locking mechanism 230 further includes a second traction member 236, which is connected between the first driving member 136 and the pushing member 235. When the first connecting seat 131 pivots relative to the second connecting seat 132 to fold the upper handframe 110 and the lower handframe 120 relative to each other, the second traction member 236 can drive the push member 235 to rotate by the first driving member 136 rotating around the first pivot 1316, so that the push member 235 moves from the initial position to the unlocked position, thereby causing the second locking member 234 to move from the second locked position to the second unlocked position, ultimately allowing the lower handframe 120 to pivot relative to the wheel frame 200 to fold. In this invention, when the upper handframe 110 folds relative to the lower handframe 120, the lower handframe 120 can simultaneously fold relative to the wheel frame 200; in other words, the trolley 1000 in this invention can achieve overall synchronous unlocking and folding, which has the advantages of convenient folding, simple structure and easy operation.

[0103] Optionally, in other embodiments, the first driving member 136 can be omitted, and the second traction member 236 is connected between the edge of the first connecting seat 131 and the push member 235. When the first connecting seat 131 pivots relative to the second connecting seat 132, the push member 235 can also be driven to rotate from the initial position to the unlocked position by the second traction member 236.

[0104] See Figure 11 In one embodiment, the second unlocking member 420 is provided with a second driving part 421. The rotation center of the second driving part 421 and the second unlocking member 420 are offset, for example, they can be arranged in a straight line or in a non-linear shape, but are not limited thereto. The second driving part 421 is used to connect to the drift locking mechanism 240. Specifically, please refer to... Figure 6 , Figure 11 as well as Figure 12 As shown, the drift locking mechanism 240 also includes a drift traction member 241, which is disposed within the wheel frame 200 and the rider frame 100 and passes through the first locking mechanism 130 and the second locking mechanism 230. More specifically, one end of the drift traction member 241 passes through the first locking mechanism 130 and connects to the second release member 420 (e.g., the second drive unit 421), and the other end passes through the second locking mechanism 230 and connects to the drift locking member 242 disposed in the rear wheel frame 220. Therefore, when the actuating member 460 is in the second position and the operating member 430 is operated by the user to make the second release member 420 rotate around its rotation center, the second driving unit 421 will rotate synchronously around the rotation center of the second release member 420, which will drive the drift traction member 241 to move to pull the drift locking member 242 to move to disengage from the locking recess 243. This allows the wheel seat 310 to rotate relative to the wheel frame 200, specifically allowing the rear wheel seat 310B to rotate relative to the mounting seat 223 on the rear wheel frame 220, so that the trolley 1000 has the function of drift steering.

[0105] See Figures 12 to 14In one embodiment, the first connecting seat 131 has a first through-channel 1313, which communicates with the inner cavity of the upper frame 110 when the first connecting seat 131 is connected to the upper frame 110. The second connecting seat 132 has a second through-channel 1323, which communicates with the inner cavity of the lower frame 120 when the second connecting seat 132 is connected to the lower frame 120. It should be noted that the first support rod 111 and the push rod 112 of the upper frame 110 are both hollow tubular structures. Therefore, the "inner cavity of the upper frame 110" can refer to the tubular inner cavity of the first support rod 111 and / or the push rod 112. Similarly, the second support rod 121 of the lower frame 120 is a hollow tubular structure. Therefore, the "inner cavity of the lower frame 120" refers to the tubular inner cavity of the second support rod 121. It should also be noted that the first through-channel 1313 is connected to the second through-channel 1323. Thus, one end of the drift traction member 241 can be regarded as passing through the first through-channel 1313 and extending into the inner cavity of the upper frame 110, and the other end can be regarded as passing through the second through-channel 1323 and extending into the inner cavity of the lower frame 120.

[0106] Please combine Figure 4 , Figures 12 to 14 In the first embodiment, a through space 133 is formed between the first connecting seat 131 and the second connecting seat 132, and the through space 133 is connected to the first through channel 1313 and the second through channel 1323. The drift traction member 241 passes through the through space 133. From another perspective, one end of the drift traction member 241 can be regarded as passing through the through space 133, through the first through channel 1313, through the first connecting seat 131, and extending into the inner cavity of the upper frame 110. The other end of the drift traction member 241 can be regarded as passing through the through space 133, through the second through channel 1323, through the second connecting seat 132, and extending into the inner cavity of the lower frame 120 and the inner cavity of the rear wheel frame 220.

[0107] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting seat 131 includes a first pivot portion 1311 and a first connecting portion 1312 connected to each other, with the first connecting portion 1312 connected to the upper frame 110. The second connecting seat 132 includes a second pivot portion 1321 and a second connecting portion 1322 connected to each other, with the second connecting portion 1322 connected to the lower frame 120. Both the first pivot portion 1311 and the second pivot portion 1321 include two pieces 1301 arranged opposite each other. The two pieces 1301 of the first pivot portion 1311 and the two pieces 1301 of the second pivot portion 1321 are arranged alternately and pivotally connected, and a through space 133 can be formed between any two adjacent pieces 1301.

[0108] To clearly understand the arrangement of each piece 1301, such as Figure 4 As shown, the two pieces 1301 on the first pivot 1311 from left to right are referred to as the first piece 1301A and the second piece 1301B, respectively, and the two pieces 1301 on the second pivot 1321 from left to right are referred to as the third piece 1301C and the fourth piece 1301D, respectively. Therefore, "the two pieces 1301 of the first pivot 1311 and the two pieces 1301 of the second pivot 1321 are arranged alternately" includes two arrangement methods: First, the pieces 1301 from left to right are the third piece 1301C, the first piece 1301A, the fourth piece 1301D, and the second piece 1301B; Second, the pieces 1301 from left to right are the first piece 1301A, the third piece 1301C, the second piece 1301B, and the fourth piece 1301D. Specifically, in this embodiment, the pieces 1301, from left to right, are a third piece 1301C, a first piece 1301A, a fourth piece 1301D, and a second piece 1301B. The third piece 1301C, the first piece 1301A, the fourth piece 1301D, and the second piece 1301B are pivotally connected via a first pivot 1316, forming a through-space 133 between the first piece 1301A and the fourth piece 1301D. Of course, in other embodiments, the through-space 133 may also be formed between the third piece 1301C and the first piece 1301A, or between the fourth piece 1301D and the second piece 1301B; no specific limitation is made here.

[0109] See Figures 12 to 14 In one embodiment, at least one of the first piece 1301A and the fourth piece 1301D is provided with a recess 1331, which is recessed relative to the surface of the corresponding piece 1301 to form a through space 133. When the first connecting seat 131 pivots relative to the second connecting seat 132, it can be considered that when the first piece 1301A pivots relative to the fourth piece 1301D, the drifting traction member 241 is accommodated in the recessed through space 133. In this way, the drifting traction member 241 can be avoided from being squeezed by the first piece 1301A and / or the fourth piece 1301D, thus preventing it from moving flexibly.

[0110] See also Figures 12 to 14In one embodiment, a guide portion 134 protrudes from the side of the first piece 1301A and / or the fourth piece 1301D facing the passage space 133. The guide portion 134 has a generally arcuate sidewall. When the first connecting seat 131 pivots relative to the second connecting seat 132, the arcuate sidewall of the guide portion 134 is adapted to guide the drift traction member 241 to bend. In this way, the flexibility of movement of the drift traction member 241 can be ensured while reducing the bending amplitude, preventing stress concentration at the bending point, thereby extending the service life of the drift traction member 241.

[0111] Please combine Figure 9 and Figure 12 In one embodiment, the first pivot seat 231 in the second locking mechanism 230 is provided with a movable channel 2311. The drift traction member 241 passes through the through space 133 of the first locking mechanism 130 and the movable channel 2311 and extends into the inner cavity of the rear wheel frame 220. Similarly, it should be noted that the rear rod 221 and the rear crossbar 222 of the rear wheel frame 220 are both hollow tubular structures. Therefore, the "inner cavity of the rear wheel frame 220" mentioned above can refer to the tubular inner cavity of the rear rod 221 and / or the rear crossbar 222.

[0112] The following section, with reference to relevant illustrations, briefly explains the operation of the trolley 1000 in this embodiment.

[0113] See Figure 1 When the trolley 1000 is fully extended, the first locking mechanism 130 is locked (see...). Figure 5 The upper handrail 110 and the lower handrail 120 remain relatively extended; the second locking mechanism 230 is in the locked state (see...). Figure 10 The handrail 120, front wheel carrier 210, and rear wheel carrier 220 all remain relatively extended. The drift locking mechanism 240 can be in a locked state (see...). Figure 6 The rear wheel seat 310B is restricted from rotating relative to the rear wheel frame 220.

[0114] Please combine Figure 6 and Figure 11When the user needs to change the steering of the trolley 1000, the user first operates (e.g., pushes, pulls) the actuating member 460 to place it in the second position; then, the user operates (e.g., presses) the operating member 430, which pushes against the second linkage member 450 and causes the second release member 420 to rotate around its rotation center. This, in turn, causes the drift traction member 241 to move, pulling the drift locking member 242 out of the locking recess 243, thus releasing the drift locking mechanism 240. In this way, the rear wheel 320B and the subsequent wheel seat 310B can rotate relative to the rear wheel frame 220 around the connecting shaft 330 for steering. When the user releases the operating member 430, under the elastic restoring force of the third reset member 244, the drift locking member 242 re-enters the locking recess 243, keeping the drift locking mechanism 240 in the locked state.

[0115] Please combine Figures 10 to 14 When a user needs to fold the trolley 1000, the user first operates the actuating member 460 to place it in the first position; then, the user operates the operating member 430, which pushes against the first linkage member 440 and causes the first unlocking member 410 to rotate around its rotation center. This, in turn, causes the first traction member 138 to move, pulling the first locking member 1371 out of the locking recess 1372, so that the first locking mechanism 130 is in the unlocked state. In this way, the upper frame 110 can rotate relative to the lower frame 120 around the first pivot 1316, so that the upper frame 110 can be folded relative to the lower frame 100. During the pivoting process of the upper frame 110 relative to the lower frame 120, the first driving member 136 or the first connecting seat 131 drives the pushing member 235 to rotate from the initial position to the unlocked position through the second traction member 236, so as to drive the second locking member 234 to move along the second axis from the second locked position to the second unlocked position. When the second locking member 234 moves to the second unlocking position, the first pivot seat 231 can rotate relative to the third pivot seat 233; with the cooperation of the retraction mechanism 500, the second pivot seat 232 can also rotate relative to the third pivot seat 233, ultimately realizing the relative pivoting and folding of the lower handrail 120, the front wheel frame 210 and the rear wheel frame 220.

[0116] It should be noted that during the folding process of the trolley 1000, the drift traction component 241 remains contained within the through space 133 of the first locking mechanism 130, and bends around the guide portion 134 as the upper handframe 110 pivots relative to the lower handframe 120 (see...). Figures 12 to 14This ensures the drift traction component 241's mobility while reducing the bending radius, preventing stress concentration at the bend, and thus extending the service life of the drift traction component 241. Furthermore, it should be noted that in this embodiment, when the first locking mechanism 130 releases, during the pivoting and folding process of the upper frame 110 relative to the lower frame 120, the drift traction component 241 remains stationary and does not move along the length of the upper frame 110 or the lower frame 120. Therefore, it does not cause the drift locking component 242 to move to release the steering of the rear wheel seat 310B. In this embodiment, the overall folding and steering operations of the trolley 1000 are independent and are two unaffected processes. In other words, when folding the trolley 1000, the state of the rear wheel seat 310B (i.e., whether steering is restricted or permitted) is unaffected; similarly, releasing the rear wheel seat 310B does not affect the state of the trolley 1000.

[0117] In this embodiment, the drift traction component 241 includes a steel wire and a sheath sleeved over the steel wire. The first end of the steel wire corresponds to and is close to the first end of the sheath. The first end of the steel wire is connected to the second release component 420. The first end of the sheath is fixed in the inner cavity of the frame 100. The second end of the steel wire corresponds to and is close to the second end of the sheath. The second end of the steel wire is connected to the drift locking component 242. The second end of the sheath is fixed in the inner cavity of the wheel frame 200. During the retraction process of the upper frame 110 and the lower frame 120 pivoting relative to each other, since the second release member 420 does not rotate relative to the frame 100 and the first end of the sheath does not move relative to the frame 100, the distance between the first end of the steel wire and the first end of the sheath remains unchanged. This ensures that the distance between the second end of the steel wire and the second end of the sheath also remains unchanged. As a result, the second end of the steel wire will not pull the drift traction member 241 to move, ensuring that the retraction process of the frame 100 will not affect the movement and release of the drift locking member 241.

[0118] The second embodiment of the present invention also provides a trolley 1000, which is similar to the first embodiment described above, including components such as a handlebar frame 100, a wheel frame 200, and a release mechanism 400. The trolley 1000 of this embodiment can be considered a variation of the trolley 1000 of the first embodiment. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the structure of the components and the connection relationships between the components in this embodiment can be referred to the description in the first embodiment above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the first embodiment.

[0119] In this embodiment, the structure of the first locking mechanism 130 is slightly different from that in the first embodiment. Specifically, one of the first pivot portion 1311 and the second pivot portion 1321 includes two oppositely arranged plates 1301, and the other of the first pivot portion 1311 and the second pivot portion 1321 is pivotally connected between the two plates 1301, and a through space 133 can be formed between the first pivot portion 1311 and the second pivot portion 1321. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first pivot portion 1311 includes two plates 1301 (the two plates 1301 can be referred to as the first plate 1301A and the second plate 1301B, respectively), and the second pivot portion 1321 includes a plate 1301 (which can be referred to as the third plate 1301C) and is pivotally connected between the first plate 1301A and the second plate 1301B. A passage space 133 for the drift traction member 241 to pass through can be formed between the third plate 1301C and the first plate 1301A or the third plate 1301C and the second plate 1301B. A guide portion 134 protrudes on the side facing the passage space 133, and the guide portion 134 is adapted to guide the drift traction member 241 to bend. Other structures are described with reference to the first embodiment, and will not be repeated in the second embodiment.

[0120] The third embodiment of the present invention also provides a trolley 1000, which is similar to the first embodiment described above. It also includes components such as a handlebar frame 100, a wheel frame 200, and a release mechanism 400. The trolley 1000 of this embodiment can be considered a variation of the trolley 1000 of the first embodiment. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the structure of the components and the connection relationships between the components in this embodiment can be referred to the description in the first embodiment above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the first embodiment.

[0121] like Figures 15 to 18 In this embodiment, the structure of the first locking mechanism 130 is slightly different from that of the first locking mechanism 130 in the first embodiment. Specifically, as shown... Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the first locking mechanism 130 also includes a cover 135, which is connected to the first connecting seat 131 or the second connecting seat 132, and a passage space 133 is formed between the cover 135 and the first connecting seat 131 or the cover 135 and the second connecting seat 132, and the drifting traction member 241 passes through the passage space 133. In other words, in this embodiment, the passage space 133 is formed between the cover 135 and the first connecting seat 131 or the cover 135 and the second connecting seat 132, rather than between the first connecting seat 131 and the second connecting seat 132 as shown in the first embodiment.

[0122] In this embodiment, the structures of the first connecting seat 131 and the second connecting seat 132 are the same as those shown in the second embodiment above. For details, please refer to the second embodiment. Figure 15 As shown, the third piece 1301C is pivotally connected between the first piece 1301A and the second piece 1301B. The cover 135 can be connected to the side of the first piece 1301A opposite to the third piece 1301C or the side of the second piece 1301B opposite to the third piece 1301C. Correspondingly, a through space 133 is formed between the cover 135 and the first piece 1301A or between the cover 135 and the second piece 1301B. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cover 135 is connected to the side of the first piece 1301A opposite to the third piece 1301C and forms a through space 133 between it and the first piece 1301A.

[0123] See Figures 15 to 18 In one embodiment, the cover 135 has a recessed groove 1351 on the side facing the first connecting seat 131, forming a through space 133 between the groove 1351 and the first piece 1301A. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first driving member 136 protrudes into the through space 133, and the first driving member 136 is generally cylindrical with an arc-shaped peripheral wall. Therefore, when the first connecting seat 131 pivots relative to the second connecting seat 132 (e.g. Figure 17 and Figure 18 The arc-shaped peripheral wall of the first driving member 136 can be used to guide the bending of the drift traction member 241. This reduces the bending amplitude of the drift traction member 241, prevents stress concentration at the bending point, and thus extends the service life of the drift traction member 241. Similarly, in this embodiment, during the pivoting and folding of the upper frame 110 relative to the lower frame 120 and the folding of the trolley 1000, the drift traction member 241 remains stationary and does not move along the length of the upper frame 110 or the lower frame 120. Therefore, it will not cause the drift locking member 242 to move to release the steering of the rear wheel seat 310B, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0124] It should be noted that the operation process of the trolley 1000 in this embodiment is roughly the same as that in the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0125] The fourth embodiment of the present invention also provides a trolley 1000, which is similar to the first embodiment described above, and includes components such as a handlebar frame 100, a wheel frame 200, and a release mechanism 400. The trolley 1000 of this embodiment can be considered a variation of the trolley 1000 of the first embodiment described above. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the components and the connection relationships between the components in this embodiment can be referred to the description in the first embodiment above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the first embodiment described above.

[0126] Specifically, the structure of the first locking mechanism 130 in this embodiment differs from that in the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the first locking mechanism 130 includes a first connecting seat 131, a second connecting seat 132, and a first locking member 1371. The first connecting seat 131 is pivotally connected to the second connecting seat 132, and the first locking member 1371 is movably disposed between the first connecting seat 131 and the second connecting seat 132 along a first axial direction to restrict or allow their relative pivoting. Please refer to... Figures 19 to 23 The first connecting seat 131 includes a first pivot portion 1311 and a first connecting portion 1312. The first pivot portion 1311 is generally circular and connected to the first connecting portion 1312. The first connecting portion 1312 has a first through-channel 1313 and is connected to the upper frame 110. The extending direction of the first through-channel 1313 is tangent to the outer peripheral wall of the first pivot portion 1311 (see...). Figures 21 to 23 Similarly, the second connecting seat 132 includes a second pivot portion 1321 and a second connecting portion 1322. The second pivot portion 1321 is generally circular and connected to the second connecting portion 1322. The second connecting portion 1322 has a second through-channel 1323 and is connected to the unloading frame 120. The extending direction of the second through-channel 1323 is tangent to the outer peripheral wall of the second pivot portion 1321 (see...). Figures 21 to 23 The first pivot portion 1311 and the second pivot portion 1321 are pivotally connected at the first pivot point A1. In this embodiment, when the upper frame 110 is in a relatively extended state relative to the lower frame 120, the first through-channel 1313 and the second through-channel 1323 are arranged approximately along the same straight line, and the ports of the first through-channel 1313 and the second through-channel 1323 are opposite to each other and in close contact (see...). Figure 21 ).

[0127] Specifically, the first connecting seat 131 has a generally circular first chamber 1314 on the side facing the second connecting seat 132, and a plurality of first locking grooves 1315 arranged circumferentially on the inner wall of the first chamber 1314 (see Figure 20The second connecting seat 132 has a generally circular second chamber 1324 on the side facing the first connecting seat 131, and a plurality of second locking grooves 1325 arranged circumferentially within the second chamber 1324 (see...). Figure 19 The first locking member 1371 is a gear structure with locking teeth 13711. The first locking member 1371 is movably disposed between the first chamber 1314 and the second chamber 1324 along a first axial direction and has a first locking position and a first unlocking position. When the first locking member 1371 is in the first locking position, one end of the first locking member 1371 along the first axial direction is located in the first chamber 1314, and the other end is located in the second chamber 1324. Thus, the locking teeth 13711 on the outside of the first locking member 1371 simultaneously engage with the first locking groove 1315 and the second locking groove 1325 along the first axial direction to restrict the pivoting of the first connecting seat 131 relative to the second connecting seat 132. When the first locking member 1371 is in the first unlocking position, the first locking member 1371 can be fully moved into the first chamber 1314 or the second chamber 1324, and the locking teeth 13711 correspondingly disengage from the second locking groove 1325 or the first locking groove 1315, allowing the first connecting seat 131 to pivot relative to the second connecting seat 132. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the upper handframe 110 is held in a relatively extended state relative to the lower handframe 120, the drift traction member 241 passes through the first through-channel 1313 out of the first connecting seat 131 and directly enters the second through-channel 1323, thus allowing it to extend through the second connecting seat 132 to the lower handframe 120 and the second locking mechanism 230 (see...). Figure 21 When the first locking member 1371 is in the first unlocking position, the locking teeth 13711 of the first locking member 1371 disengage from the first locking groove 1315, and the first locking member 1371 moves completely into the second chamber 1324. At this time, when the first connecting seat 131 pivots relative to the second connecting seat 132 about the first pivot point A1 to fold the frame 100, the port of the first through channel 1313 separates from the port of the second through channel 1323. At this time, the drift traction member 241 passing through the port of the first through channel 1313 will bend around the first pivot point A1 along the outer peripheral wall of the first pivot portion 1311 or the outer peripheral wall of the second pivot portion 1321 (from...). Figure 21 sequentially to Figure 22 as well as Figure 23(Switch), and then insert into the second through-channel 1323. Since the extension direction of the first through-channel 1313 is tangent to the outer peripheral wall of the first pivot 1311, and the extension direction of the second through-channel 1323 is tangent to the outer peripheral wall of the second pivot 1321, when the first connecting seat 131 pivots relative to the second connecting seat 132 around the first pivot point A1 to unfold the frame 100, the tangent structure can guide the drift traction member 241 to automatically recover after bending, that is, guide the drift traction member 241 to automatically recover from the bent arc state to the straight state. The tangent structure can not only avoid the accidental bending of the drift traction member 241, but also avoid the problem of the drift locking mechanism 240 malfunctioning due to the drift traction member 241 not bending smoothly during the unfolding and folding process of the frame 100.

[0128] See also Figure 19 and Figure 20 In this embodiment, the first locking mechanism 130 further includes a second driving member 139, which is movably disposed between the first connecting seat 131 and the second connecting seat 132 and adjacent to the first locking member 1371. The second driving member 139 is adapted to drive the first locking member 1371 to move so that the first locking member 1371 can be fully moved into the second chamber 1324. Specifically, the first traction member 138 connects the second driving member 139 and the first unlocking member 410. Therefore, when the actuating member 460 is in the first position and the operating member 430 is operated, the first traction member 138 drives the first locking member 1371 to move into the second chamber 1324 through the second driving member 139 to complete the unlocking, thus allowing the first connecting seat 131 to pivot relative to the second connecting seat 132.

[0129] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, one end of the second traction member 236 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the first pivot portion 1311 of the first connecting seat 131, and the other end is connected to the push member 235. When the first connecting seat 131 pivots relative to the second connecting seat 132, one end of the second traction member 236 can rotate together with the outer peripheral wall of the first pivot portion 1311, thereby causing the second traction member 236 to pull the push member 235 to the unlocked position.

[0130] It should also be noted that the operation process of the trolley 1000 in this embodiment is roughly the same as that in the first embodiment, except that the unlocking process of the first locking mechanism 130 is slightly different. Specifically, when the actuating member 460 is in the first position, the operating member 430 pushes against the first linkage member 440 and drives the first unlocking member 410 to rotate around its rotation center. The first unlocking member 410 will drive the first traction member 138 to move, thereby driving the second driving member 139 to move, and then pushing the first locking member 1371 to move completely into the second chamber 1324 to reach the first unlocking position. In this way, the upper handle 110 and the lower handle 120 can pivot relative to each other to fold.

[0131] The fifth embodiment of the present invention also provides a perspective view of a trolley 1000, which is similar to the fourth embodiment described above. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, the structure of the components and the connection relationships between the components in this embodiment can be referred to the description in the fourth embodiment above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the fourth embodiment described above.

[0132] See Figure 24 and Figure 25 In this embodiment, the first locking mechanism 130 further includes a cover 135, which is connected to either the first connecting seat 131 or the second connecting seat 132. A passage space 133 is formed between the cover 135 and the first connecting seat 131 or the cover 135 and the second connecting seat 132, and this passage space 133 communicates with the first through channel 1313 and the second through channel 1323. Optionally, the cover 135 is connected to the side of the second connecting seat 132 opposite to the first connecting seat 131, and a passage space 133 is formed between the cover 135 and the second connecting seat 132. Specifically, in this embodiment, the side of the cover 135 facing the second connecting seat 132 has a recessed groove 1351, and this groove 1351 forms a passage space 133 with the second connecting seat 132. The drifting traction member 241 passes through the first through channel 1313, the passage space 133, and the second through channel 1323.

[0133] See Figure 26 and Figure 27 In one embodiment, a guide portion 134 protrudes from the side of the second connecting seat 132 facing the cover 135 and / or the side of the cover 135 facing the second connecting seat 132. The guide portion 134 has an arcuate peripheral wall. Therefore, when the first connecting seat 131 pivots relative to the second connecting seat 132, the arcuate peripheral wall of the guide portion 134 can be used to guide the drift traction member 241 to bend.

[0134] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the unlocking principle of the first locking mechanism 130 differs from that in the fourth embodiment. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second driving member 139 and the first traction member 138 are omitted from the first locking mechanism 130. More specifically, the first locking mechanism 130 also includes a push button 141, which is disposed on the side of the first connecting seat 131 opposite to the second connecting seat 132. The push button 141 passes through the first connecting seat 131 along the first axis and abuts against the first locking member 1371. When it is necessary to fold the trolley 1000 or the handlebar 100, the user can push the first locking member 1371 to the first unlocking position by operating (e.g., pushing or pressing) the push button 141.

[0135] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown, the first locking mechanism 130 further includes a fourth reset member 142. The fourth reset member 142 can be located between the second connecting seat 132 and the first locking member 1371 along the first axial direction, and is used to provide an elastic restoring force to the first locking member 1371 so that the first locking member 1371 is held in the first locked position. Of course, in other embodiments, the fourth reset member 142 can also be located between the first connecting seat 131 and the first locking member 1371 and be used to provide an elastic restoring force to the first locking member 1371. Specifically, in this embodiment, the fourth reset member 142 is a compression spring, with both ends abutting between the second connecting seat 132 and the first locking member 1371.

[0136] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the aforementioned push button 141 can be omitted. The unlocking drive method for the first locking member 1371 can adopt the same drive method as in the fourth embodiment, that is, by setting the second drive member 139 to drive the first locking member 1371 to move along the first axis from the first locked position to the first unlocked position, but it is not limited to this. Specifically, regarding the unlocking principle using the second drive member 139, please refer to the description in the fourth embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0137] The aforementioned trolley 1000 has at least the following technical effects:

[0138] In the aforementioned trolley 1000, the handlebar 100 includes an upper handlebar 110 and a lower handlebar 120 that are pivotally connected to each other, and the lower handlebar 120 is also pivotally connected to the wheel frame 200. Therefore, when it is necessary to carry or store the trolley 1000, the first locking mechanism 130 and the second locking mechanism 230 can be released by the release operation mechanism 400. In this way, the upper handlebar 110 can be pivotally folded relative to the lower handlebar 120, and the lower handlebar 120 can be pivotally folded relative to the wheel frame 200, so that the trolley 1000 as a whole can be folded in a three-fold manner to obtain a smaller folded volume, which is convenient for storage and transportation, and greatly improves the portability of the trolley 1000. Furthermore, since the trolley 1000 is also equipped with a drift locking mechanism 240, which can be used to restrict or allow the wheel seat 310 to rotate relative to the wheel frame 200, and the release operation mechanism 400 can release the drift locking mechanism 240, the user can allow the wheel seat 310 to rotate relative to the wheel frame 200 by operating the release operation mechanism 400. This gives the trolley 1000 a steering function and improves its maneuverability. In addition, the drift traction member 241, as a component of the drift locking mechanism 240, is cleverly configured within the wheel frame 200 and the handframe 100 of the trolley 1000. This layout also allows the drift traction member 241 to pass through the first locking mechanism 130, thereby achieving control over the drift steering function of the wheel seat 310 and the wheel 320 without affecting the normal folding of the handframe 100. This design ensures that the function of the drift locking mechanism 240 is not affected when the trolley 1000 is folded to a smaller size. Similarly, releasing the drift locking mechanism 240 does not affect the folded or unfolded state of the trolley 1000. Finally, the folded trolley 1000 can remain upright with the combined support of the wheels 320 and the first locking mechanism 130.

[0139] The above design not only optimizes the structure of the trolley 1000, making its appearance neater and more beautiful, but also improves the efficiency of space utilization while maintaining the flexibility of the trolley 1000's operation.

[0140] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0141] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
