[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a handle folding mechanism comprises two mounting seats 1, a locking block 2 and a connecting rod 3, each mounting seat 1 is provided with a sliding groove 12, two ends of the handle 4 are respectively hinged on the two mounting seats 1, and can be rotated in the up and down direction, thereby realizing the folding of the handle 4, the two locking blocks 2 are respectively rotatably installed in the two mounting seats 1, and the locking blocks 2 have a locking position and an unlocking position, when the locking block 2 is in the locking position, one end of the locking block 2 can abut against the end of the handle 4 to lock the handle 4, and when the locking block 2 is in the unlocking position, the handle 4 can be unlocked, the two ends of the connecting rod 3 are respectively penetrated in the sliding grooves 12 of the two mounting seats 1, and the two ends of the connecting rod 3 are respectively connected with the two locking blocks 2, when the connecting rod 3 is pressed down, the connecting rod 3 can drive the locking block 2 to move from the locking position to the unlocking position to unlock the handle 4, then only by stepping on the connecting rod 3, the two ends of the handle 4 can be unlocked at the same time, and the operation is more convenient.
[0027] Specifically, each mounting base 1 includes two mounting plates 11 arranged at intervals, the end of the handle 4 is inserted between the two mounting plates 11 and hinged to the two mounting plates 11, the locking block 2 is located between the two mounting plates 11, and one end of the locking block 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 11 through a rotating shaft, and the other end can abut against the end of the handle 4 to limit the rotation of the handle 4. At the same time, in order to maintain the restriction on the handle 4, a torsion spring is provided on the rotating shaft. The torsion spring is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft, which provides a force acting on the rotating shaft, which is used to drive the locking block 2 to remain in the locked position, ensuring that the handle 4 is in a locked state and will not fold at will.
[0028] Specifically, the handle 4 is arched as a whole, and includes a gripping portion 41 and two connecting portions 42. The upper ends of the two connecting portions 42 are respectively connected to the two ends of the gripping portion 41, and the lower end of the connecting portion 42 is inserted between two adjacent mounting plates 11. The operator can apply a force by grasping the gripping portion 41, and the force is transmitted to the mounting seat 1 through the connecting portion 42, and then transmitted to the frame 9.
[0029] In order to assist the folding action of the handle 4 and limit the folding position of the handle 4, it also includes a fixed link 5, a first movable link 6 and a second movable link 7. A connecting beam 8 is provided between the two mounting seats 1. The fixed link 5 is installed on the connecting beam 8 in the vertical direction. One end of the first movable link 6 is hinged to the upper end of the fixed link 5, one end of the second movable link 7 is hinged to the first movable link 6 and one end of the fixed link 5, and the other end of the second movable link 7 is hinged to the connecting part 42. When the handle 4 rotates, the first movable link 6 and the second movable link 7 rotate accordingly. When the first movable link 6 and the second movable link 7 are straightened, they cannot continue to rotate at this time, and the handle 4 is also limited to prevent it from continuing to move downward and avoid hitting the ground.
[0030] In order to realize the driving of the locking block 2 by the connecting rod 3 to unlock, the slide groove 12 is arc-shaped as a whole, and the slide groove 12 is arranged on the mounting plate 11 along the inclined direction. When the locking block 2 is in the locking position, the connecting rod 3 is located at the top of the slide groove 12. When the locking block 2 is in the unlocking position, the connecting rod 3 is located at the bottom of the slide groove 12. When the connecting rod 3 is pressed down, it can be moved along the arc to satisfy the rotation of one end of the locking block 2.
[0031] A manual platform vehicle comprises a vehicle frame 9, a handle 4 flipping mechanism and a handle 4. The handle 4 is mounted on the vehicle frame 9 via the handle 4 folding mechanism.
