Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of small-sized plane transport equipment, and more specifically, particularly relates to a foldable trolley with multiple transport forms. Background Art

[0002] Trolleys are currently a commonly used means of transportation, mostly used for transporting goods between shelves and warehouses in shopping malls and supermarkets, and for storing and transporting shopping carts for consumers. Trolleys are mainly divided into two categories, one is a four-wheeled flatbed trolley, and the other is a two-wheeled trolley. Different trolleys are needed for different scenarios.

[0003] The trolleys used in daily life perform better when traveling on flat roads, but they cannot travel normally when encountering obstacles, such as door thresholds, steps in front of buildings, roadbeds beside roads, etc. When unloaded, the obstacles can be passed by lifting the entire trolley, but when loaded with goods, the entire trolley cannot be lifted due to its heavy weight. Auxiliary flat plates need to be laid to form a slope to allow the trolley to travel over obstacles, which is more physically demanding and not very convenient to use.

[0004] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with patent number 201820446082.6 and patent name of folding stair climbing vehicle includes a bracket, two plug-in columns at the lower end of the bracket are sequentially interspersed with a sliding sleeve, a sliding inner sleeve, a supporting sleeve, a toothed sleeve, a torsion spring and a tripod, and the two plug-in columns at the lower end of the bracket are rotatably connected to the two ends of the shovel plate, the torsion spring is arranged inside the tripod, and the lower end of the torsion spring is fixed in the tripod, the toothed sleeve is fixed to the plug-in column at the lower end of the bracket by a screw, and the upper end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the screw, the sliding sleeves are connected by a middle connecting pipe, the outer side of the sliding sleeve is connected to the upper end of the connecting rod, the lower end of the connecting rod is connected to the shovel plate, one side of the supporting sleeve is connected to the upper end of the supporting seat, one side of the tripod is connected to the lower end of the rotating block, the lower end of the supporting seat is connected to the lower part of the rotating block, and is located on the upper side of the connection point between the tripod and the rotating block, the upper end of the rotating block is connected to the tripod, and the three ends of the tripod are rotatably connected to rollers.

[0005] The above technical solution can realize the function of walking on stairs by setting three rollers, and the support sleeve and the tripod can be rotated, so that the tripods on both sides can be folded inwards to realize the function of roller storage and save space for storing the trolley. However, it also has shortcomings. It only has one transportation form, that is, using a shovel to carry goods. The shovel area for carrying goods is relatively small, and the cargo transportation capacity is relatively poor. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and to provide a foldable trolley with multiple transport forms, strong transport capacity and easy obstacle crossing.

[0007] The utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions.

[0008] The utility model provides a folding trolley with multiple transport forms, including a load-bearing component, a front caster unit, a rear caster unit, a shovel plate and a push handle, wherein the front caster unit and the shovel plate are installed at the front of the load-bearing component, and the shovel plate can be rotated and opened about 90 degrees relative to the load-bearing component, and the rear caster unit and the push handle are installed at the rear of the load-bearing component, and the load-bearing component includes a load-bearing plate and two support pipes arranged on both sides of the load-bearing plate, and the front caster unit includes a front wheel arm and a front wheel hub, and one end of the front wheel arm can be rotatably connected to the support pipe. The front end is connected, and the other end of the front wheel arm is provided with a front wheel axle, the front wheel hub is rotatably connected to the front wheel axle, the front wheel hub has three wheels distributed in an equilateral triangle with the front wheel axle as the center, the pivot axis of each of the three wheels is parallel to the front wheel axle, the diameter of the inscribed circle of the wheel group composed of the three wheels is less than half of the distance between the two support tubes, the bottom end of the push handle is pivotally connected to the connecting device provided at the rear end of the support tube, and the push handle can rotate between a position folded about 0 degrees relative to the load-bearing component and a position opened about 180 degrees relative to the load-bearing component.

[0009] In the above technical scheme, the trolley can change into a variety of transportation states. When the load-bearing component is in a horizontal state, the push handle is rotated to an upright state relative to the load-bearing component, that is, about 90 degrees. At this time, it is a flatbed trolley transportation mode. In this mode, the load-bearing plate area is large and the transportation capacity is strong, which is suitable for transportation on a flat ground; when the push handle is rotated to an open position of about 180 degrees relative to the load-bearing component, the shovel plate can be rotated and opened about 90 degrees relative to the load-bearing component. At this time, it is a stair climbing trolley mode. Although the shovel plate area is relatively small and the transportation capacity is weak, the wheel group composed of three wheels has a strong ability to cross obstacles, which is suitable for uneven roads or climbing stairs. According to actual needs, it can meet most of the needs of daily transportation and has strong practicality; when it needs to be folded and stored, the push handle is rotated to a folded position relative to the load-bearing component, that is, about 0 degrees, and the front caster unit is rotated and folded relative to the support tube. Because the diameter of the inscribed circle of the wheel group composed of three wheels is less than half of the distance between the two support tubes, the front caster unit can be rotated to a position relatively parallel to the load-bearing plate, which can be conveniently carried and stored.
