A buffer spring 33 is sleeved on the surface of the expansion link 32, and both ends of the buffer spring 33 are in contact with the surfaces of the fixed block 31 and the guiding frame 5. By means of the expansion link 32 and the buffer spring 33, it can play a role in buffering and shock absorption when the moving wheel 41 is in use, and improve the service life of the moving wheel 41.
[0032] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 It can be known that the roller assembly 4 includes moving wheels 41. Moving wheels 41 are installed on both sides of the second mounting block 23, and a plurality of locking blocks 42 are equidistantly arranged on the inner side wall of the moving wheels 41.

[0035] Working principle: When the utility model is in use, when the wheel seat 1 is installed, according to the attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 , Attachment Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 By installing the wheel seat 1, the mobile wheel 41 can be installed as a whole, so that when the mobile wheel 41 rolls, the elastic force of the buffer spring 33 can make the telescopic rod 32 move slightly, which plays a role of buffering and shock absorption. At the same time, when the mobile wheel 41 needs to be locked, by pressing the toggle piece 72, the toggle piece 72 can drive the hinged push rod 71 to move along the surface of the guide frame 5. At this time, the hinged push rod 71 will squeeze the surface of the mobile push block 61. When the mobile push block 61 is squeezed, it will drive the connecting plate 62 and the plug block 63 to move along the inside of the guide frame 5 and reset it. The spring 64 is in a compressed state. When the limit block 73 engages with the groove provided inside the moving push block 61, the connecting plate 62 can drive the plug-in block 63 to be inserted between the multiple sets of locking blocks 42, so as to facilitate locking the moving wheel 41. When the moving wheel 41 needs to move, the hinged push rod 71 can drive the limit block 73 away from the surface of the moving push block 61 by toggling the toggle piece 72. At this time, the elastic force of the reset spring 64 can push the moving push block 61 to reset as a whole, so that the connecting plate 62 drives the plug-in block 63 away from the multiple sets of locking blocks 42.
