The inner wall corresponding to the wheelbarrow is provided with scale lines, a working frame is provided at one end of the wheelbarrow, the calculator is provided above the working frame, and the adjustable leg unit is provided in the working frame. The adjustable leg unit includes a screw rod rotatably provided in the working frame, a nut sleeve sleeved on the screw rod, a sliding rod located on both sides of the screw rod, a sliding sleeve slidably connected to the sliding rod, and a leg. This scheme can control the telescopic length of the leg to adapt to the complex construction road surface of the construction site. However, the above technical scheme still has the following deficiencies when actually used:

[0004] Compared with the common method of fixing the adjustable legs with screws, this prior art can simplify the operating steps and improve the adjustment efficiency. However, in actual operation, when the staff encounters a slope and needs to adjust the height of the legs, the staff needs to hold the handle of the cart with one hand to prevent the cart from sliding under the action of the slope, and use the other hand to screw the screw to achieve the purpose of adjusting the legs. Such operation will increase the difficulty of adjustment and also increase safety hazards. Secondly, this prior art controls the synchronous movement of the two legs through a screw rod, but when encountering an uneven ground and the two legs are at different distances from the ground, this adjustment method can only make one leg contact the ground, affecting the overall stability of the cart and reducing the practicality and flexibility of the cart.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design an adjustable trolley to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] The fixing assembly includes a cavity 6 arranged inside the side wall of the cart 1, a card block 7 is arranged in the cavity 6, one side of the card block 7 extends to the inside of the fixing seat 4, and an arc groove adapted to the support rod 3 is arranged on the side wall of the card block 7 close to the support rod 3, so that the contact area between the card block 7 and the support rod 3 can be increased to ensure the stability of the card block 7 fixing the support rod 3. A spring 8 is provided between the side wall of the card block 7 and the inner side of the cavity 6. A rack 9 is also slidably connected to the inside of the cavity 6. One end of the connecting tube 11 extends into the cavity 6, and the connecting tube 11 is connected to the inner side of the cavity 6. The connecting tube 11 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the cavity 6. The longitudinal section of the connecting tube 11 is a U-shaped structure, and the rotating rod 12 is adapted to the shape of the connecting tube 11. A gear 10 is fixedly sleeved on the connecting tube 11 located in the cavity 6. The gear 10 is meshed with the rack 9. A slope is provided on the side wall of the block 7 close to the rack 9. The length of the rack 9 limits the rotation angle of the screwing handle 13. When the screwing handle 13 is rotated ninety degrees, one end of the rack 9 will abut against the cavity 6, thereby ensuring the stability of the screwing handle 13.

[0028] Working principle: When encountering an uneven or inclined ground, the staff keeps holding the screwing handle 13 with both hands, and then rotates the screwing handle 13 by 90 degrees. The screwing handle 13 drives the rotating rod 12 to rotate. Under the mutual limiting action of the connecting cylinder 11 and the rotating rod 12, the connecting cylinder 11 also rotates, and drives the gear 10 to rotate, so that the rack 9 moves upward. Then, under the elastic force of the spring 2 8, the block 7 can be retracted into the cavity 6. At this time, the side wall of the support rod 3 will not be subjected to the force. At this time, under the action of the spring 1 5, the support rod 3 moves and makes the support seat 16 The handle 13 is reversed and turned to make the rack 9 move downward. Under the action of the inclined surface of the block 7, the rack 9 can squeeze the block 7 to move it toward the fixing seat 4, and then contact the support rod 3 to fix the support rod 3. This operation method allows the staff to always hold the trolley 1 with both hands to prevent the trolley 1 from sliding under the action of the slope, thereby reducing safety hazards. The operation is convenient and simple, and the adjustment efficiency is improved. Secondly, the two support rods 3 can be adjusted independently, so that the two support rods 3 can adapt to the ground at different heights, which improves the practicability and flexibility of the device.
