[0022] When in use, the entire device is fixedly installed on the bottom of the mobile device to be moved by the insertion rod 8, and then the position height of the mounting seat 7 is adjusted, and then the movable wheel 3 is used to realize the movement of the entire device, and the two side plates 2 symmetrically distributed along the movable wheel 3 can improve the structural strength of the entire caster itself, and play the purpose of bearing weight;

[0023] As a further implementation of this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a motor 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom end of the support seat 1, and a threaded rod 5 is connected to the output end of the motor 4, a threaded sleeve 6 is distributed above the threaded rod 5, and a mounting seat 7 is fixedly installed on the other end of the threaded sleeve 6, and a plug rod 8 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top rear end of the mounting seat 7, and a guide frame 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the mounting seat 7, and a clamping structure is opened on the inner side of the guide frame 9, and the clamping structure includes a guide groove 10 and a lock hole 11, the guide groove 10 is opened on the inner side of the guide frame 9, and one side of the guide groove 10 is connected to The lock hole 11 is evenly distributed along one side of the guide frame 9, and the lock hole 11 and the guide frame 9 form an integrated structure. A guide plate 12 is distributed on one side of the threaded rod 5. A reset spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top end of the guide plate 12, and a lock block 14 is fixedly connected to the other end of the reset spring 13. The lock block 14 is slidably connected to the guide plate 12 through the reset spring 13, and the outer diameter of the lock block 14 is adapted to the inner diameter of the lock hole 11. An auxiliary slide plate 15 is sleeved on the outer side of one end of the lock block 14;

When adjusting the height of the mounting seat 7, the locking block 14 will be retracted to the inside of the guide plate 12 in advance.

[0025] When the support height of the entire caster needs to be adjusted, the motor 4 works to rotate the threaded rod 5 connected to its output end. Since the threaded rod 5 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 6 through the threaded groove opened on its outer surface, the threaded sleeve 6 can be longitudinally moved when the threaded rod 5 rotates, and then the threaded sleeve 6 moves longitudinally to realize the longitudinal movement of the mounting seat 7 installed at its top height, thereby realizing the adjustment of the support height of the entire caster. At the same time, when the mounting seat 7 moves longitudinally, it will drive the guide frame 9 symmetrically arranged at its bottom to move longitudinally along the guide plate 12, thereby improving the installation The stability of the seat 7 during the longitudinal movement, and then when the position height adjustment is completed, the lateral force applied to the locking block 14 disappears, and then the reverse force generated by the deformation of the return spring 13 will push the locking block 14 in the reverse direction, and then the locking block 14 drives the auxiliary slide plate 15 to slide laterally on the inner side of the top of the guide plate 12, and the auxiliary slide plate 15 provided in combination can improve the stability of the locking block 14 during the lateral movement, and then when one end of the locking block 14 is input into the inner side of the locking hole 11, the mounting seat 7 and the supporting seat 1 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​connection, thereby improving the stability of the entire caster structure itself;

[0026] Specific working principle:

[0027] First, the entire caster structure is plugged into the bottom of the mobile device by setting the plug rod 8. Then, when the support height of the entire caster needs to be adjusted, the motor 4 works to rotate the threaded rod 5 connected to its output end. Since the threaded rod 5 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 6 through the threaded groove opened on its outer surface, the threaded sleeve 6 can be longitudinally moved when the threaded rod 5 rotates. Then, the threaded sleeve 6 moves longitudinally to realize the longitudinal movement of the mounting seat 7 installed at its top height, thereby realizing the adjustment of the support height of the entire caster. At the same time, when the mounting seat 7 moves longitudinally, it will drive the guide frame 9 symmetrically arranged at its bottom to move along the guide plate 12 Then, the locking block 14 is moved laterally, thereby improving the stability of the mounting base 7 during the longitudinal movement. After the position height adjustment is completed, the lateral force applied to the locking block 14 disappears, and the reverse force generated by the deformation of the return spring 13 pushes the locking block 14 in the reverse direction. Then, the locking block 14 drives the auxiliary slide plate 15 to slide laterally on the inner side of the top end of the guide plate 12. The auxiliary slide plate 15 provided in combination can improve the stability of the locking block 14 during the lateral movement. Then, when one end of the locking block 14 is input into the inner side of the locking hole 11, the mounting base 7 and the supporting base 1 can be snapped together to improve the stability of the entire caster structure itself.
