When the square slider 704 rotates to 45 degrees, there is a height difference between the No. 2 steel beam 6 and the No. 1 steel beam 5, which will not hinder the rotating square block. The limit plate 701 can limit the moving position of the universal wheel 3 and the ordinary wheel 4. The square column 702 can prevent the slider 704 moved to this area from rotating, and prevent the universal wheel 3 and the ordinary wheel 4 from changing their angles. When the slider 704 moves to the position of the circular column 703, the slider 704 can be rotated to switch the universal wheel 3 and the ordinary wheel 4 between the vertical state and the horizontal state. The through groove matches the outer diameter of the square column 702, and the cross-section of the circular column 703 is inscribed with the cross-section of the square column 702, which facilitates the slider 704 to slide left and right on the square column 702 and the circular column 703.

[0031] See also Figure 1-7In this embodiment, the bottom end of the slider 704 located on the front side is screwed with a universal wheel 3 by bolts, and the bottom end of the slider 704 located on the rear side is screwed with a common wheel 4 by bolts.

A group of notches that penetrate the No. 1 storage slot 2 and are opposite to each other are opened on the support plate 1, and the notch is located at the No. 1 steel On the opposite side of the beam 5, the mounting frame 9 is fixedly connected in the slot, a handle 10 is arranged in the mounting frame 9, a rotating shaft 11 penetrating the mounting frame 9 and the handle 10 is provided on the support plate 1, a second storage slot 12 matching the handle 10 is provided on the support plate 1, a U-shaped slot is provided on the mounting frame 9, a fixing rod 13 is inserted in the U-shaped slot, a spring from bottom to top is fixed on the fixing rod 13, the other end of the spring is fixed to the bottom of the vehicle plate, a fixing clamp 14 matching the fixing rod 13 is fixedly connected inside the handle 10, and the rotating shaft 1 1 passes through the fixing clamp 14, the ordinary wheel 4 and the universal wheel 3 move with the movement of the slider 704, and rotate with the rotation of the slider 704. The universal wheel 3 is responsible for changing the angle of the trolley. When the slider 704 moves to the concentricity of the card slot 801 and the slide slot, due to the loss of the squeezing of the inner wall of the slider 704, the elastic buckle 802 pops out from the slide slot and snaps into the card slot 801 to form a fixation. The mounting frame 9 is installed in the No. 1 storage slot 2 through the notch. The handle 10 can be rotated to a horizontal state and stored in the No. 2 storage slot when not in use. 12, the height of the support plate 1 will not be increased, and the space occupied by the trolley when it is stored is reduced. The clamp feet on one side of the fixing clamp 14 are longer, and the clamp feet on the other side are shorter, which is convenient for clamping on the fixing rod 13. In the process of rotating the handle 10 to a vertical state, the fixing clamp 14 will squeeze the fixing rod 13 to move to the bottom end. When the handle 10 is rotated to a vertical state, the fixing rod 13 moves to the jaw position of the fixing clamp 14. After the external force squeezing is lost, the spring pops out and clamps the fixing rod 13 into the jaws of the fixing clamp 14 to fix the handle.

[0032] When working, the worker first takes out the support plate 1, and then rotates the handle 10 upward. The fixing clamp 14 squeezes the fixing rod 13 during the movement, so that the fixing rod 13 moves downward. When the handle 10 is rotated to a vertical angle, the jaws of the fixing clamp 14 are directly opposite to the fixing rod 13. The fixing rod 13 loses the external force squeezing, and the elastic potential energy of the spring drives the fixing rod 13 to reset, and the fixing rod 13 is clamped into the fixing clamp 14. The handle 10 is fixed on the top of the support plate 1 in a vertical state;

[0033] Pull the slider 704 to the other side to the circular column 703 area, then rotate the slider 704 to move the universal wheel 3 and the ordinary wheel 4 to a vertical state, then push the slider 704 back, the inner wall of the slider 704 squeezes the elastic buckle 802, so that the elastic buckle 802 retracts into the slide groove opened on the square column 702, when the slider 704 moves to the corresponding position, the position of the slot 801 is opposite to the front end of the slot, the elastic buckle 802 loses the squeezing of the external force, and pops out from the slot into the slot 801 to be fixed, then turn the support plate 1 over, place the universal wheel 3 and the ordinary wheel 4 on the ground, rotate the handle 10 to a vertical state, then place the object on the support plate 1, and push the support plate 1 to move by the handle 10;

[0034] After the movement is completed, it is necessary to fold up the support plate 1, pick up the support plate 1 and turn it over, then press and hold the elastic buckle 802, press the elastic buckle 802 back into the slide groove, and then pull out the slider 704. The slider 704 replaces the finger to apply force to the elastic buckle 802, move the slider 704 to the circular column 703, and then rotate the slider 704 to make the universal wheel 3 and the ordinary wheel 4 rotate to a translation state, and then push the slider 704 back. The square column 702 fixes the slider 704, and the slider 704 cannot continue to rotate, thereby realizing the folding and storage of the universal wheel 3 and the ordinary wheel 4, and then pull the fixing rod 13 upward to separate the fixing rod 13 from the fixing clamp 14, rotate the handle 10, and rotate the handle 10 into the No. 2 storage slot 12.

[0035] Through the above steps, the caster structure originally fixedly installed in the bottom end of the support plate 1 is changed into a sliding connection, and the directions of the universal wheel 3 and the ordinary wheel 4 are changed by rotating the slider 704, so that the universal wheel 3 and the ordinary wheel 4 are rotated from a vertical state to a horizontal state flush with the No. 1 storage slot 2, and the universal wheel 3 and the ordinary wheel 4 are folded and stored in the No. 1 storage slot 2, so as to avoid the wheels in the vertical state occupying part of the space when the trolley is stored, so as to solve the problem that the caster structure at the bottom of the existing trolley is a fixed structure and cannot be folded, which is not conducive to the storage of the trolley.

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of those skilled in the art without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
