Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of trailers, in particular to an improved structure of a folding trailer. Background Art

[0002] In daily life and production, it is often necessary to carry luggage or items, etc. During the carrying process, trailer tools are often used. Due to the characteristics of being convenient to push, time-saving and labor-saving, trailer tools are widely used when carrying things. In order to facilitate the storage of trailer tools, the trailer tools are designed into a foldable structure, which is very light. After folding, it can be placed on the vehicle and is convenient to carry.

[0003] Traditional trailers, such as a bundled luggage cart disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN103587562B, have a bottom support structure composed of four bottom beams and an intermediate support, and can be unfolded or folded in cooperation with the front frame, rear frame and side frame.

[0004] However, traditional trailers have the defect of a small volume. Thus, a portable folding trailer disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN108725533B has two sets of radial mechanisms (equivalent to two bottom support structures), which can expand the volume of the trailer. However, multiple sets of bottom support structures will cause a decrease in the load-bearing capacity of the trailer structure and the bottom support structure is prone to deformation. Thus, there is also a new type of camping cart disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN215752510U. In this solution, there are also two sets of bottom support structures at the bottom. And in order to ensure that the bottom support structure remains horizontal, support telescopic tubes are arranged in the middle of the left and right sides of the bottom support structure and are connected to the left and right side folding link mechanisms to assist in supporting the bottom support structure. However, there is a hidden danger that the support telescopic tubes may not slide smoothly, which is likely to affect the subsequent folding, closing or unfolding of the trailer, resulting in inconvenience in using the trailer.

Detailed Embodiments

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an improved structure of a folding trailer of this embodiment, the folding frame includes four uprights 1, four side folding link groups 2 and a bottom support folding link group 3, and the front and rear left and right ends of the bottom support folding link group 3 are respectively hinged to the lower part of the four uprights 1. The side folding link groups 2 and the bottom support folding link group 3 are arranged so that when the four uprights 1 of the folding frame are separated or approached from each other, each link group can be linked and cooperated to realize the expansion or folding of the folding frame, so as to carry goods or store the folding trailer.

[0033] In this embodiment, the four side folding link groups 2 are distributed between the four vertical poles 1 and form a frame shape. The lower end of each side folding link group 2 is hinged to the lower part of the adjacent vertical pole 1, and the upper end is slidably connected to the upper part of the vertical pole 1; when the four vertical poles 1 are close to each other, the upper end of each side folding link group 2 can slide on the vertical pole 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the bottom support folding link group 3 includes two cross storage links 31 arranged in front and back, and the rear left and right ends of the front cross storage link 31 are respectively hingedly connected with the front left and right ends of the rear cross storage link 31 to form two bottom connection points 32 distributed on the left and right; setting two cross storage links 31 can effectively expand the volume of the folding trailer and increase the capacity of the load.

[0035] The four side folding link groups 2 are divided into a front folding link group 21, a rear folding link group 22, a left folding link group 23 and a right folding link group 24;

[0036] The left folding link group 23 and the right folding link group 24 have the same structure, and both include three groups of cross rods 25 that are hingedly connected in sequence at the front, middle and rear, and a V-shaped link 26 is provided at the lower part of the middle cross rod 25;

[0038] The upper ends of both sides of the V-shaped connecting rod 26 are respectively hinged to the front and rear sides of the lower part of the middle cross rod 25 on the same side, that is, respectively hinged to the lower part of the left cross sub-rod 251 and the lower part of the right cross sub-rod 252. And the lower hinge point 27 of the V-shaped connecting rod 26 is hinged and matched with the bottom connection point 32 on the same side.

[0039] Thus, in this embodiment, by providing two cross storage connecting rods 31, the volume can be enlarged. And by providing the V-shaped connecting rod 26, the bottom connection point 32 between the two cross storage connecting rods 31 can be connected and supported, preventing the middle parts of the two cross storage connecting rods 31 from sagging and deforming due to force. And when the folding frame is folded or unfolded, since the lower end of the V-shaped connecting rod 26 is hinged and matched, and the upper end is hinged and matched with the middle cross rod, it can rotate and fold together with the side folding connecting rod group 2. That is, it can ensure that the folding and unfolding of the folding frame are smooth and unobstructed, improving the convenience of using the trailer and enhancing the user experience.

[0040] Specifically, the V-shaped connecting rod 26 includes a front side sub-rod 261 and a rear side sub-rod 262, and the front side sub-rod 261 and the rear side sub-rod 262 are respectively distributed on the left and right sides of the middle cross rod 25 on the same side. For example, the front side sub-rod 261 of the V-shaped connecting rod 26 on the right side folding connecting rod group 24 is located on the right side of the middle cross rod 25, and the rear side sub-rod 262 is located on the left side of the middle cross rod 25, which is used to reduce the volume after the folding trailer is folded, and further reduce the overall storage volume of the trailer.

[0041] In this embodiment, walking wheels 4 are respectively provided at the bottoms of the vertical rods 1. To facilitate the trailer to move. At the same time, the lower parts of the front two vertical rods 1 can also be hinged with a front bottom rod 5, and a handle 6 is hinged in the middle of the front bottom rod 5. Since it is convenient to pull the trailer to walk through the handle 6.

[0042] A first hinge seat 11 may be provided at the lower part of the vertical rod 1, which is used to hinge the front end or the rear end of the bottom support folding connecting rod group 3, the lower end of the side folding connecting rod group 2 and the front bottom rod 5; a first sliding seat 12 is provided at the upper part of the vertical rod 1, and the first sliding seat 12 can be sleeved on the upper area of the vertical rod 1 and slide up and down, and the first sliding seat 12 is used to hinge the upper end of the side folding connecting rod group 2.

[0043] A connecting piece 33 may be provided at the bottom connection point 32, and the front and rear sides of the connecting piece 33 are for the ends on the same side of the front cross storage connecting rod 31 and the rear cross storage connecting rod 31 to be hinged; and the lower hinge point 27 of the V-shaped connecting rod 26 is hinged to the middle of the connecting piece 33.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cross storage connecting rod 31 includes an intermediate hinge seat 311 and four bottom sub-rods 312 that are radially hinged to the lower part of the intermediate hinge seat 311 in a cross shape.

[0045] In this embodiment, the front folding link group 21 and the rear folding link group 22 have the same structure, and both include two sets of cross links 28. The two sets of cross links 28 are connected to each other on the left and right and are symmetrically arranged.

[0046] Embodiment 2

[0047] As Figures 5 to 7 shown, the structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the above embodiment. The main difference is that the upper ends of both ends of the V-shaped link 26 in this embodiment are also upwardly extended to form extension rods 263 at the ends hinged to the lower part of the middle cross rod 25.

[0048] The upper end of the extension rod 263 on the front side of the V-shaped link 26 is hinged to the rear side of the upper part of the front cross rod 25, and the upper end of the extension rod 263 on the rear side of the V-shaped link 26 is hinged to the front side of the upper part of the rear cross rod 25. In this way, the supporting effect of the V-shaped link 26 on the bottom support folding link group 3 can be further improved.
