[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown:

[0030] The self-locking flip caster comprises a base plate 1, a flip plate 3, a caster assembly 4, a locking assembly and a limiting assembly.

[0031] The top of the base plate 1 is connected with a mounting plate 2, and the caster assembly 4 is connected to the bottom of the flip plate 3, and the caster assembly 4 is detachably connected to the flip plate 3. A hinge seat 14 is provided at the right end of the base plate 1, and the right end of the flip plate 3 is hinged on the hinge seat 14 through a pin 15. A limited slot 5 is provided on the base plate 1, and a clamping assembly adapted to the structure of the limited slot 5 is connected to the flip plate 3. The flip plate 3 has a supporting state and a flipping state. When the flip plate 3 is in the supporting state, the upper end surface of the flip plate 3 is attached to the lower end surface of the base plate 1, and the clamping part of the clamping assembly is clamped into the limited slot 5. The limiting assembly has an elastic telescopic part. When the flip plate 3 is in the flipping state, the elastic telescopic part of the limiting assembly is used to support the flip plate 3.
