[0023] Specifically, the shock absorbing assembly 22 includes a hinge seat 221, a rotating block 222, a damper 223, a buffer spring 224, a hinge seat 225 and a rotating block 226.

In summary, the shock-absorbing and buffering effect of the moving wheel 4 in the front and rear lateral positions can be achieved.

[0033] When this embodiment is in use, when the moving wheel 4 moves, the vibrations generated in the up and down directions can be buffered by the buffer spring 2 56. The setting of the damper 2 55 can suppress the rebound of the buffer spring 2 56, thereby achieving the buffering and shock-absorbing effect of the longitudinal position of the moving wheel 4.

When the moving wheel 4 moves and tilts forward, the buffer spring 224 will be stretched, and with the action of the damper 223, the rebound of the buffer spring 224 can be suppressed. In summary, the shock-absorbing and buffering effect of the moving wheel 4 in the front and rear lateral positions can be achieved; when the moving wheel 4 moves, the vibrations in the up and down directions can be buffered by the buffer spring 2 56, and with the setting of the damper 2 55, the rebound of the buffer spring 2 56 can be suppressed, thereby achieving the buffering and shock-absorbing effect of the longitudinal position of the moving wheel 4, and the inner rod 53 will slide inside the outer rod 54, thereby improving the buffering stability of the longitudinal shock-absorbing mechanism 5.
