[0037] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 7 The utility model provides an embodiment: a foldable shopping cart that can climb stairs, including a front plate 1, two card slots 22 are provided inside the front plate 1, two protrusions 3 are fixedly connected to the top of the front plate 1, and two grooves 10 are provided at the bottom of the front plate 1, both sides of the front plate 1 are rotatably connected to side plates 4, one side of the side plate 4 is rotatably connected to the side plate 2 5, and two card slots 21 are provided inside the side plate 2 5, the bottom of the front plate 1 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 8, one side of the side plate 2 5 is rotatably connected to the side rear plate 7, and the side rear plate 7 is rotatably connected to the card block 6, the top of the rear plate 7 is fixedly connected to two protrusions 29, and the bottom of the rear plate 7 is provided with two grooves 21, and a climbing component is provided inside the rear plate 7, which is used for the shopping cart to go up and down stairs, and an adjustment component is provided inside the rear plate 7, and the adjustment component is used to adjust the angle of the pull rod 16.

[0038] Specifically, when using this foldable shopping cart that can climb stairs, there are specific operating steps to adapt to different usage requirements. When you want to increase the capacity of the shopping cart, you can do so by connecting another shopping cart. The specific operation is: align the groove 10 of another shopping cart and cling to the protrusion 13 of the current shopping cart, and align the groove 2 11 of the shopping cart and cling to the protrusion 2 9 of the current shopping cart. In this way, through the precise docking of the groove and the protrusion, the two shopping carts can form a whole, significantly increasing the available space and providing more carrying capacity. When preparing to store or carry the shopping cart, first perform the following steps: pull the bottom plate 8 to ensure that the front plate 1 fits tightly with the bottom plate 8. Then, rotate the card block 6 to disengage it from the internal position of the card slot 1 21. Then, apply force inward to push the front plate 1 and the rear plate 7, so that the side plate 1 4 and the side plate 2 5 are folded inward along the folding axis. Ensure that the side plate 1 4 fits completely with the bottom plate 8, and at the same time, the side plate 2 5 needs to fit tightly with the inner wall of the rear plate 7. After the folding action is completed, the card block 6 is correctly snapped into the pre-set card slot 22 on the inner side of the front plate 1 to achieve stable fixation. At this point, the shopping cart has been folded, which is convenient for storage and transportation.

[0039] Reference Figure 7 The adjustment assembly includes a limit groove 20 and two pull rods 16. The limit groove 20 is opened on the middle side of the rear plate 7. The pull rod 16 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rear plate 7. A telescopic rod 17 is arranged inside the pull rod 16. A T-block 19 is slidably connected to the outer side of the pull rod 16.

[0040] Specifically, the T-block 19 is pulled upwards to disengage it from the limiting groove 20. This step allows the pull rod 16 and the telescopic rod 17 connected thereto to rotate freely inside the rear plate 7. Next, the handle 18 is held and pulled outwards with force. This action drives the pull rod 16 and the telescopic rod 17 to rotate together, thereby causing the telescopic rod 17 to rotate accordingly inside the rear plate 7. Through the above operation, the angle of the pull rod 16 can be flexibly adjusted to meet different usage requirements, such as lifting, tilting or adjusting to an angle suitable for the user's body posture, thereby improving the convenience and comfort of use.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 The stair climbing assembly includes a connecting rod 12, one end of which is rotatably connected to the inside of the rear plate 7, two irregular plates 13 are fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 12, a plurality of fixed rods 14 are fixedly connected between the two irregular plates 13, and a climbing wheel 15 is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixed rod 14.

[0042] Specifically, when climbing stairs, the operation is as follows: by rotating the connecting rod 12, the irregular plate 13 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the fixing rod 14, and finally causes the climbing wheel 15 to roll. This series of actions work together to enable the shopping cart to go up and down stairs smoothly, simplifying the carrying process.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 7 The bottom of the front plate 1 is rotatably connected to two universal wheels 2, one end of the telescopic rod 17 is fixedly connected to a handle 18, a T-block 19 is slidably connected to the inside of the rear plate 7, the T-block 19 is inserted into the inside of the limiting groove 20, the T-block 19 and the limiting groove 20 are interference fit, the clamping block 6 is inserted into the inside of the clamping groove 1 21, the protrusion 1 3 is clamped with the groove 1 10, and the protrusion 2 9 is clamped with the groove 2 11.

[0044] Specifically, the universal wheel 2 at the bottom of the front plate 1 provides the shopping cart with mobility, making the shopping cart more flexible and convenient when moving smoothly on the ground. The telescopic rod 17 and the handle 18, the telescopic rod 17 can be retracted when not in use, which is convenient for storage. The handle 18 is the key to controlling the telescopic rod 17 to extend and retract, and provides a gripping point for the user when unfolding or retracting the telescopic rod 17. The T-block 19 slides inside the rear plate 7 and is inserted into the limit groove 20 by interference fit, playing the role of locking and unlocking. When the T-block 19 is inserted into the limit groove 20, the position of the pull rod 16 can be fixed, and when it is removed, the pull rod 16 is allowed to rotate freely to adjust the angle. The card block 6 and the card slot 1 21, the card block 6 is on the rear plate 7, and the card slot 1 21 is on the side plate 5. When the card block 6 is inserted into the card slot 1 21, the side plate 2 5 and the rear plate 7 can be locked to prevent loosening during unfolding. The cooperation between the card block 6 and the card slot 2 22 ensures that it is fixed after folding. This design ensures the safety and stability of the folding and unfolding process. The structures of the protrusion 1 3 and the groove 1 10, and the protrusion 2 9 and the groove 2 11 are designed to realize the connection between two shopping carts. Through the clamping of the protrusion and the groove, the two shopping carts can be quickly and firmly combined together to increase the overall cargo space.

[0045] Working principle: When the shopping cart needs to increase its carrying space, the groove 10 and groove 2 11 of another shopping cart are aligned with the convex block 1 3 and convex block 2 9 of the bottom shopping cart to connect the two shopping carts, thereby increasing the overall volume and meeting the loading needs of more items.

[0046] When the shopping cart needs to be stored or transported, first pull the bottom plate 8 to fit the front plate 1 and the bottom plate 8 together, then rotate the clamping block 6 to disengage it from the inside of the clamping slot 1 21, and then push the front plate 1 and the back plate 7 inward to cause the side plate 1 4 and the side plate 2 5 to fold inward. The side plate 1 4 should fit the bottom plate 8, the side plate 2 5 should fit the inner wall of the back plate 7, and the clamping block 6 should be clamped in the inside of the clamping slot 22 opened in the front plate 1 to fix it. At this time, the folding is completed, which is convenient for storage and transportation;

[0047] When facing stairs, by rotating the connecting rod 12, the irregular plate 13, the fixing rod 14 and the climbing wheel 15 are driven to rotate synchronously, so that the shopping cart can move smoothly on the stairs, simplifying the carrying process of going up and down the stairs;

[0048] In order to adjust the angle of the pull rod 16 to adapt to different usage scenarios, first pull the T-block 19 upward to disengage it from the limiting groove 20. Then, pull the handle 18 to drive the pull rod 16 and the telescopic rod 17 to rotate, and then the telescopic rod 17 rotates inside the rear plate 7 to achieve the desired angle adjustment, thereby improving the convenience and comfort of use.
