[0002] As people's living standards improve, their desire for outdoor activities becomes stronger and stronger, and their requirements for convenience in life become higher and higher. When engaging in outdoor activities, they need to carry some miscellaneous items required for the activities. At this time, foldable carts that are easy to fold and carry come into being.
[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN201712643U discloses a luggage trolley with bundles, including a foldable frame structure formed by connecting rods, the frame has four vertical legs, the vertical legs are telescopic rod structures, and the two sides of the frame each have two sets of four-bar linkage mechanisms that are mutually hinged, the upper ends of the vertical legs are fixed with upper brackets, the lower ends of the vertical legs are fixed with lower brackets, the upper brackets are fixed to the upper ends of the inner tubes of the vertical legs, the lower brackets are fixed to the lower ends of the outer tubes of the vertical legs, the inner tubes are inserted into the outer tubes, and the connecting rods are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the vertical legs. When the frame is unfolded, the two ends of the four-bar linkage mechanism are close to each other on the vertical legs, driving the inner tubes to be inserted into the outer tubes, and the internal space of the frame is relatively large.
[0004] However, this structure also brings some problems: when the frame is folded, the two ends of the four-bar linkage move away from each other on the vertical support leg, driving the inner tube to extend out of the outer tube, resulting in the frame height in the folded state being higher than the frame height in the unfolded state, making the storage space required for the folded frame larger; and if the inner tube in the vertical support leg is removed and the two ends of the four-bar linkage are directly connected to the two ends of the outer tube, the length of the rod in the four-bar linkage needs to be shortened, which leads to a smaller internal space of the frame in the unfolded state. Therefore, the folding stroller in the above patent cannot take into account both the large internal space in the unfolded state and the small storage space in the folded state.
[0005] Therefore, a new folding trolley needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0056] As attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a folding trolley, including a frame 10, wheels 70 and a traction part 80. The wheels 70 are located at the bottom of the frame 10 for convenient movement of the folding trolley. The wheels 70 can be fixed wheels or universal wheels, wide wheels or narrow wheels, with brakes or without brakes.
[0057] The frame 10 is a foldable frame 10 , which can be unfolded to form a storage space 11 for storing items inside, and can also be folded to reduce the floor space and facilitate storage. Specifically, the vehicle frame 10 includes a telescopic support rod 20, a foldable side link assembly 30, a front link assembly 40, a rear link assembly 50 and a foldable chassis 60. The telescopic support rod 20 is located at the four corners of the vehicle frame 10, and its bottom is connected to the wheels 70 at the corresponding position, serving as a pillar connecting the various surfaces of the vehicle frame 10; the side link assembly 30 is located on the side of the vehicle frame 10, and is respectively connected to two telescopic support rods 20, that is, the number of the side link assembly 30 is two groups, which are respectively located on the two side surfaces of the vehicle frame 10 and are connected to the two telescopic support rods 20 on the corresponding side. When the side link assembly 30 is folded, the two telescopic support rods 20 on the corresponding side are close to each other along the folding direction. When the side link assembly 30 is unfolded, the two telescopic support rods 20 on the corresponding side are away from each other along the unfolding direction. The side link assembly 30 serves as a side support of the accommodating space 11. Support; similarly, the front link assembly 40 is located at the front side of the frame 10, and is respectively connected to the two telescopic support rods 20. When the front link assembly 40 is folded, the two telescopic support rods 20 located at the front side of the frame 10 move closer to each other along the folding direction. When the front link assembly 40 is unfolded, the two telescopic support rods 20 located at the front side of the frame 10 move away from each other along the unfolding direction. The front link assembly 40 serves as a front support for the accommodating space 11; the rear link assembly 50 is located at the rear side of the frame 10, and is respectively connected to the two telescopic support rods 20. When the rear link assembly 50 is folded, the two telescopic support rods 20 located at the rear side of the frame 10 move closer to each other along the folding direction. When the rear link assembly 50 is unfolded, the two telescopic support rods 20 located at the rear side of the frame 10 move away from each other along the unfolding direction. The rear link assembly 50 serves as a rear support for the accommodating space 11. The foldable chassis 60 is located at the bottom of the frame 10 and is respectively connected to the retractable support rods 20 at the four corners. When the frame 10 is unfolded, the foldable chassis 60 is also unfolded to serve as the bottom support of the accommodating space 11. When the frame 10 is folded and folded, the foldable chassis 60 is also folded and folded.
[0058] In order to expand the storage space 11 when the frame 10 is unfolded, on the one hand, the width of the side link assembly 30, the front link assembly 40, and the rear link assembly 50 when they are unfolded can be increased, that is, the length and width of the storage space 11 can be increased. This means that an increase in the number of links or the length of a single link will lead to a significant increase in the weight of the frame 10, and will also cause the storage volume of the frame 10 to increase when it is folded; on the other hand, the height of the support rod can be increased, that is, the height of the storage space 11 can be increased. Similarly, simply increasing the height of the support rod will also cause the storage volume of the frame 10 to increase when it is folded.
[0059] In order to solve the above problems, in this embodiment, the telescopic support rod 20 includes an outer tube 21, an inner column 22, a top connecting portion 24 and a bottom connecting portion 23. The inner column 22 is slidably connected to the outer tube 21, the top connecting portion 24 is fixedly connected to the top end of the outer tube 21, and the bottom connecting portion 23 is slidably sleeved on the outer tube 21, and a vertical slot 211 is provided on the outer tube 21. The bottom connecting portion 23 is connected to the inner column 22 through the vertical slot 211, and the connecting rod ends of at least one of the side link assembly 30, the front link assembly 40 and the rear link assembly 50 are respectively hinged to the top connecting portion 24 and the bottom connecting portion 23, so that the frame 10 has a first state in which the bottom connecting portion 23 drives the inner column 22 to rise under the action of the corresponding link when the corresponding link assembly is unfolded; and a second state in which the bottom connecting portion 23 drives the inner column 22 to descend under the action of the corresponding link when the corresponding link assembly is folded. The telescopic support rod 20 achieves overall length change through the outer tube 21 and the inner column 22 that are slidably connected, and is associated with at least one of the side link assembly 30, the front link assembly 40 and the rear link assembly 50 through the bottom connection part 23. When these foldable link assemblies are folded or unfolded, the ends will move away from or approach each other. Therefore, when the frame 10 is unfolded, the side link assembly 30, the front link assembly 40 and the rear link assembly 50 will also be unfolded accordingly. The bottom connection part 23 drives the inner column 22 to rise under the action of the corresponding link. When the frame 10 is unfolded to the maximum, the inner column 22 also rises to the highest point, and the overall height of the telescopic support rod 20 is the maximum. When the frame 10 is folded and retracted, the side link assembly 30, the front link assembly 40 and the rear link assembly 50 will also be retracted accordingly, and the bottom connecting part 23 drives the inner column 22 to descend under the action of the corresponding link. When the frame 10 is retracted to the minimum, the inner column 22 is also basically retracted into the outer tube 21, and the overall height of the telescopic support rod 20 is the shortest. When the folding widths of the side link assembly 30, the front link assembly 40 and the rear link assembly 50 are consistent, the folding height of the frame 10 is minimized, and thus, the storage space required for the frame 10 in the folded state is small. The folding trolley of the utility model takes into account the large internal space in the unfolded state and the small storage space in the folded state, and has a simple structure and is convenient for users to operate.
[0060] When controlling the lifting and lowering of the inner column 22 relative to the outer tube 21, a force can be directly applied to the bottom connection part 23 on the telescopic support rod 20 to make it drive the inner column 22 to lift or lower. A force can also be directly applied to the inner column 22 to make it drive the bottom connection part 23 to lift or lower. The bottom connection part 23 can be driven to move on the outer tube 21 by unfolding or folding at least one of the side link assembly 30, the front link assembly 40 and the rear link assembly 50 connected to the bottom connection part 23, thereby driving the inner column 22 to lift or lower.
[0061] As attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 5In the first embodiment shown, for the bottom connection part 23 on the telescopic support rod 20 connected to the front wheel 71, the connecting rod end of the side connecting rod assembly 30 on one side and the connecting rod end of the front connecting rod assembly 40 on the same side are simultaneously connected to the bottom connection part 23 on the corresponding side, so that when the corresponding connecting rod assembly is deployed, the bottom connection part 23 drives the inner column 22 to rise under the action of the corresponding connecting rod, and when the corresponding connecting rod assembly is retracted, the bottom connection part 23 drives the inner column 22 to fall under the action of the corresponding connecting rod, which is more convenient and labor-saving to operate. For the bottom connection part 23 on the telescopic support rod 20 connected to the rear wheel 72, the connecting rod end of the side connecting rod assembly 30 on one side and the connecting rod end of the rear connecting rod assembly 50 on the same side are simultaneously connected to the bottom connection part 23 on the corresponding side, so that when the corresponding connecting rod assembly is deployed, the bottom connection part 23 drives the inner column 22 to rise under the action of the corresponding connecting rod, and when the corresponding connecting rod assembly is retracted, the bottom connection part 23 drives the inner column 22 to fall under the action of the corresponding connecting rod, which is more convenient and labor-saving to operate.
[0062] In this embodiment, the structures of the top connecting parts 24 on each telescopic support rod 20 are substantially the same, and the structures of the bottom connecting parts 23 on each telescopic support rod 20 are also substantially the same.
[0063] Specifically, as attached Figure 3 As shown, the bottom connection part 23 includes a first body 231, a connection piece 232 for connecting with the inner column 22, and a first connection frame 233 forming a set angle. The first body 231 has a through hole 234, so that the bottom connection part 23 is slidably sleeved on the outer tube 21; the first body 231 has a first connection hole 235, and the connection piece 232 passes through the first connection hole 235 and the vertical slot 211 and is fixedly connected with the second connection hole on the inner column 22; when the bottom connection part 23 moves along the outer tube 21, the connection piece 232 moves in the vertical slot 211, thereby driving the inner column 22 to rise and fall in the outer tube 21. The connection piece 232 can be a fixing screw, and at least one of the first connection hole 235 and the second connection hole can be a screw hole.
[0064] As attached Figure 4As shown, the first connecting frame 233 is connected to the first body 231; generally, the set angle between the two first connecting frames 233 is 90°. It should be noted that due to processing errors, the set angle can be a range value, floating within the allowable error of 90°. The first connecting frame 233 is used to be hinged with the connecting rod in the side connecting rod assembly 30, the front connecting rod assembly 40 or the rear connecting rod assembly 50. For example, for the bottom connecting portion 23 on the telescopic support rod 20 connected to the front wheel 71, the side connecting rod assembly 30 includes a first side connecting rod 31 hinged to the top connecting portion 24 and a second side connecting rod 32 hinged to the bottom connecting portion 23; the front connecting rod assembly 40 includes a first front connecting rod 41 hinged to the top connecting portion 24 and a second front connecting rod 42 hinged to the bottom connecting portion 23. One of the first connecting frames 233 on a bottom connecting portion 23 is hinged to a second side connecting rod 32, and the other is hinged to a second side connecting rod 32. A first connecting frame 233 is hinged to a second front connecting rod 42; for the bottom connecting portion 23 on the telescopic support rod 20 connected to the rear wheel 72, the side connecting rod assembly 30 includes a first side connecting rod 31 hinged to the top connecting portion 24 and a second side connecting rod 32 hinged to the bottom connecting portion 23; the rear connecting rod assembly 50 includes a first rear connecting rod 51 hinged to the top connecting portion 24 and a second rear connecting rod 52 hinged to the bottom connecting portion 23, one of the first connecting frames 233 on a bottom connecting portion 23 is hinged to a second side connecting rod 32, and the other first connecting frame 233 is hinged to a second rear connecting rod 52.
[0065] As attached Figure 3 and attached Figure 4As shown, the top connecting portion 24 includes a second body 241 and a second connecting frame 243 forming a set angle. The second body 241 is fixedly connected to the top end of the outer tube 21 by screws, and has a through hole 242 for the inner column 22 to pass through. The second connecting frame 243 is connected to the second body 241, and its set angle is basically the same as the set angle between the first connecting frame 233 of the bottom connecting portion 23 on the same telescopic support rod 20. The second connecting frame 243 is used to be hinged with the connecting rod in the side connecting rod assembly 30, the front connecting rod assembly 40 or the rear connecting rod assembly 50. For example, for the top connecting portion 24 on the telescopic support rod 20 connected to the front wheel 71, the side connecting rod assembly 30 includes a first side connecting rod 31 hinged with the top connecting rod 24 and a second side connecting rod 32 hinged with the top connecting rod 24; the front connecting rod assembly 40 includes a first front connecting rod 41 hinged with the top connecting rod 24 and a second front connecting rod 42 hinged with the top connecting rod 24. One of the second connecting frames 243 on a top connecting portion 24 is hinged with one first side connecting rod 31, and the other is hinged with the other side connecting rod 31. A second connecting frame 243 is hinged to a first front link 41; for the top connecting portion 24 on the telescopic support rod 20 connected to the rear wheel 72, the side link assembly 30 includes a first side link 31 hinged to the top connecting portion 24 and a second side link 32 hinged to the top connecting portion 24; the rear link assembly 50 includes a first rear link 51 hinged to the top connecting portion 24 and a second rear link 52 hinged to the top connecting portion 24, one of the second connecting frames 243 on a top connecting portion 24 is hinged to a first side link 31, and the other second connecting frame 243 is hinged to a first rear link 51.
[0066] As attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 5As shown, the side link assembly 30, the front link assembly 40, and the rear link assembly 50 all include a plurality of cross-connected links, and the number of links in the side link assembly 30 is greater than the number of links in the front link assembly 40 and greater than the number of links in the rear link assembly 50; for example, the number of links in the side link assembly 30 is 8, including the first side link 31 and the second side link 32 mentioned above; the number of links in the front link assembly 40 is 4, including the first front link 41 and the second front link 42 mentioned above; the number of links in the rear link assembly 50 is 4, including the first rear link 51 and the second rear link 52 mentioned above. The purpose of such arrangement is that the traction member is generally arranged on the front side of the frame 10, and the front and rear sides of the frame 10 are narrower than the left and right sides, which makes it more convenient for users to push and pull the folding cart. Moreover, a larger number of links also makes the length of the side-link assembly 30 longer after unfolding, and the accommodating space 11 of the frame 10 is larger. At the same time, the heights of the side-link assembly 30, the front-link assembly 40 and the rear-link assembly 50 after the frame 10 is folded are not greater than the height of the telescopic support rod 20, thereby ensuring the height of the frame 10 after folding. By reasonably arranging the link distribution of the side-link assembly 30, the width of the side-link assembly 30 after folding can also be made smaller, thereby making the storage volume of the frame 10 smaller.
[0067] As attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the traction part 80 includes a handle 81, a handle rod 82 and a handle connecting rod 83. The handle 81 is arranged at the top of the handle rod 82. The handle rod 82 can be a telescopic structure. When the frame 10 is in the unfolded state, the overall length of the handle rod 82 can be lengthened to facilitate pushing and pulling the folding trolley. When the frame 10 is in the folded state, the overall length of the handle rod 82 can be shortened to further reduce the folding volume. The bottom of the handle rod 82 is hinged to the top of the two wheels 70 as the front wheels 71 through the handle connecting rod 83. Specifically, the top of the front wheel 71 is fixed with a first mounting seat 73. The number of the handle connecting rod 83 is two, one end of which is hinged to the first mounting seat 73, and the other end is hinged to the connecting seat 84 at the bottom of the handle rod 82.
