DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 1-5 , an adjustable and detachable caster device, comprising a caster body 1, a caster support frame 2 and a connecting assembly. The position of the caster body 1 relative to the caster support frame 2 is the lower side, and the lower side relative to another direction is the upper side.

[0025] The caster body 1 is mounted on the bottom end of the caster support frame 2. The connecting assembly includes a first connecting module 3 and a second connecting module 4. The first connecting module 3 is fixedly mounted on the top end of the caster support frame 2, and the second connecting module 4 can be mutually buckled or separated with the first connecting module 3.

[0026] like Figure 2-5 The first connection module 3 includes a connection plate 31, which is horizontally connected to the top of the caster support frame 2. Two first protrusions 32 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connection plate 31 and are symmetrically arranged. The gap between the two first protrusions 32 forms a first slide groove 33. The upper surface of the connection plate 31 is also fixedly connected to a second protrusion 34, which is placed in the first slide groove 33 and is parallel to the first protrusion 32. The cross-sectional shape of the second protrusion 32 is non-square, non-rectangular, or non-narrow-upper-wide-lower-trapezoidal, and preferably the cross-sectional shape of the second protrusion 32 is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the second protrusion 32 is a spherical shape with a larger transverse diameter in the upper section and a square shape with a smaller transverse diameter in the lower section; the shape of the second slide groove 43 matches the second protrusion 32.

[0027] Moreover, a buffer block 45 matching its shape is also covered on the upper end surface of the second projection 32. When the second projection 32 slides into the second chute 43, the buffer block 45 is placed between the two to play a shock-proof buffering role.

[0028] The second connection module 4 includes a mounting plate 41, and a third protrusion 42 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 41. The third protrusion 42 is in an inverted "U" shape, and a second slide groove 43 matching the shape of the second protrusion 34 is opened at the bottom. The thickness of the side walls of the third protrusion 42 on both sides of the second slide groove 43 is not greater than the spacing between the first protrusion 32 and the second protrusion 34, that is, the third protrusion 42 can slide into the first slide groove 43, and the second protrusion 34 slides into the second slide groove 43 synchronously, so that the first connection module 3 and the second connection module 4 can be interlocked.
