When installed on the trolley, the positions of the wheels of the front and rear casters have the function of translation relative to each other, which brings convenience to the user.
[0011] The utility model has the advantages:
[0012] 1. The longitudinal translation directional casters are installed on the trolley. The relative positions of the front and rear casters have the function of translation, so that the front and rear positions of the two casters can be translated farther relative to each other, and the trolley will be more stable when pushed, which brings convenience to some trolley users with special needs.
[0013] 2. The longitudinal translation directional casters are installed on the trolley. The relative positions of the front and rear casters have the function of translation. The front and rear positions of the two casters can be translated closer to each other, which brings convenience when folding, carrying and storing the trolley. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The specific implementation scheme of the utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a lower sliding rail (1-1) is provided on the wheel frame (1);
[0022] The wheel frame (1) is equipped with wheels (2);
[0023] A spring positioning pin (4) is installed on the lower sliding rail (1-1) of the wheel frame (1);
[0024] A pull rod (5) is installed in the wheel frame (1).
[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, an upper slide rail (3-1) is provided on the bottom plate (3);
[0026] Two or more positioning holes (3-2) are arranged on the upper slide rail (3-1) of the bottom plate (3).
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, a slider (6) is installed on one end of the positioning pin of the spring positioning pin (4), and an inclined surface is provided on the slider (6).
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, an inclined surface is provided on one end of the pull rod (5), and limit devices are provided at both ends of the inclined surface of the pull rod (5) to limit the distance of the pull rod (5) moving inward or outward; the inclined surface of the pull rod (5) contacts the inclined surface of the slider (6) on the locating pin of the spring locating pin (4); when the pull rod (5) moves longitudinally inward or outward, the slider (6) on the locating pin of the spring locating pin (4) moves upward or downward, and at the same time, the slider (6) drives the locating pin of the spring locating pin (4) to move upward or downward.
[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, a lower sliding rail (1-1) is provided on the wheel frame (1);
[0030] The wheel frame (1) is equipped with wheels (2);
[0031] A spring positioning pin (4) is installed on the lower sliding rail (1-1) of the wheel frame (1);
[0032] A pull rod (5) is installed in the wheel frame (1);
[0033] An upper slide rail (3-1) is provided on the bottom plate (3), and the upper slide rail (3-1) of the bottom plate (3) and the lower slide rail (1-1) of the wheel frame (1) cooperate with each other;
[0034] Two or more positioning holes (3-2) are provided on the upper slide rail (3-1) of the bottom plate (3);
[0035] A slider (6) is installed on one end of the positioning pin of the spring positioning pin (4), and an inclined surface is provided on the slider (6);

[0037] When the pull rod (5) translates outward, the inclined surface of the pull rod (5) contacts the inclined surface of the slider (6) on the locating pin of the spring locating pin (4). Under the action of the internal spring of the spring locating pin (4), the slider (6) on the locating pin of the spring locating pin (4) moves downward. At the same time, the slider (6) drives the locating pin of the spring locating pin (4) to move downward. The locating pin of the spring locating pin (4) on the wheel frame (1) is disengaged from the corresponding locating hole (3-2) on the upper slide rail (3-1) of the bottom plate (3). The relative positions between the upper slide rail (3-1) of the bottom plate (3) and the lower slide rail (1-1) of the wheel frame (1) can translate.
[0038] When the pull rod (5) translates inward, the inclined surface of the pull rod (5) contacts the inclined surface of the slider (6) on the locating pin of the spring locating pin (4). Under the action of the internal spring of the spring locating pin (4), the slider (6) on the locating pin of the spring locating pin (4) moves upward, and at the same time, the slider (6) drives the locating pin of the spring locating pin (4) to move upward. The locating pin of the spring locating pin (4) on the wheel frame (1) cooperates with the locating hole (3-2) on the upper slide rail (3-1) of the corresponding base plate (3), and the relative positions between the upper slide rail (3-1) of the base plate (3) and the lower slide rail (1-1) of the wheel frame (1) are locked.
