DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0022] The present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and the specific embodiments.

[0023] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 1-8 , a storage cage that is convenient for storage is specifically implemented, including a base 1 and an enclosure structure. A plurality of support feet 2 and universal wheels 3 are installed at the lower end of the base 1. A wheel body frame 5 is provided at the lower end of the base 1. The universal wheels 3 are installed at the lower end of the wheel body frame 5. The wheel body frame 5 and the base 1 are connected by a first hinge structure 6, so that the wheel body frame 5 can be folded and unfolded. Further, a positioning block 7 is provided on the wheel body frame 5. Connection holes are provided on both the positioning block 7 and the upper end of the wheel body frame 5. Connection grooves are provided at the corresponding positions of the base 1 for the two connection holes. Further, when the wheel body frame 5 is unfolded, the first connection hole 8 at the upper end of the wheel body frame 5 corresponds to the first connection groove 10 on the base 1. The fastening screw 12 is screwed into the first connection hole 8, and the first connection hole 8 is connected to the first connection groove 10, so that the unfolded wheel body frame 5 provides stability and prevents the wheel body frame 5 from folding during the use of the universal wheels 3. Further, when the wheel body frame 5 is unfolded, the top of the wheel body frame 5 abuts against the lower end of the base 1, preventing the wheel body frame 5 from being damaged when carrying heavy objects due to unbalanced force.

[0024] Further, when folding the wheel body frame 5, only need to unscrew the fastening screw 12 on the first connection hole 8 to release the fixation. Further, when folding the wheel body frame 5 back to the base 1, the second connection hole 9 on the positioning block 7 corresponds to the position of the second connection slot on the base 1. The removed fastening screw 12 is screwed into the second connection hole 9, and the second connection hole 9 is connected to the second connection groove 11, so that the folded wheel body frame 5 is fixed, preventing the wheel body frame 5 from unfolding when the universal wheels 3 are not needed.

[0025] Further, the universal wheels 3 are arranged such that two universal wheels 3 on one side are equipped with brakes, and two universal wheels 3 on the other side are not. The design with brakes can lock the universal wheels 3, preventing the storage cage from moving or sliding due to external forces and avoiding damage to goods or safety accidents caused by accidental movement.

[0026] Further, the support feet 2 are designed to be slightly shorter than the wheel body frame 5, so that when the universal wheels 3 need to be used, the support feet 2 will not affect the use of the universal wheels 3. Further, a notch 4 is provided at the bottom of the support feet 2. The notch 4 can accommodate the top of the integral guardrail 13 or the upper end of the column 19. The support feet 2 can be placed on the upper end of the integral guardrail 13 or the column 19, enabling the storage cage to be stacked in both the folded state and the unfolded state.

[0027] Further, the stacking design makes full use of the warehouse space, can more effectively utilize the vertical space, thereby increasing the warehouse storage capacity. The notch 4 can play a certain limiting role, avoiding the risk of collapse or tilt during the stacking process.

[0028] Furthermore, the enclosure structure includes an integral guardrail 13 and a split guardrail 14. A through-designed guide rail 15 is provided inside the integral guardrail 13, and limit bosses 17 are provided on both sides of the integral guardrail 13. A track shaft 16 is installed on the same-side upright column 19, and the track shaft 16 is accommodated in the guide rail 15 to limit the integral guardrail 13. To fold the integral guardrail 13, it is necessary to vertically lift the integral guardrail 13 upward to release the fixation between the limit boss 17 and the circular groove 18. Further, when the integral guardrail 13 is lifted further upward, the track shaft 16 will jam the guide rail 15. At this time, the integral guardrail 13 is folded to the other side with the track shaft 16 as the center. Further, when the integral guardrail 13 is unfolded, the integral guardrail 13 is rotated to be perpendicular to the base 1 so that the guide rail 15 can move downward. The limit bosses 17 on both sides of the integral guardrail 13 are inserted into the circular grooves 18, and the circular grooves 18 play a fixing role. One end of the integral guardrail 13 abuts against the support upright column 19, and the bottom fits with the base 1, thereby fixing the integral guardrail 13.

[0029] The lengths of the guide rails 15 of the integral guardrails 13 on both sides are designed to be one long and one short, so that the integral guardrails 13 on both sides can be staggered up and down with each other when folded.

[0030] Furthermore, a second hinge structure 25 is provided in the middle of the split guardrail 14, and a rotating buckle 20 is provided at the bottom of the enclosure structure, so that the middle part of the split guardrail 14 can be retracted inward, and the top of the split guardrail 14 is folded toward the bottom. When the split guardrail 14 is unfolded, the split guardrail 14 is provided with two upper and lower locking bolts 23, and the locking bolts 23 are connected to the locking sleeves 24 on the integral guardrail 13, so that the split guardrail 14 is fixed. Further, when loading goods into the storage cage, only the upper locking bolt 23 can be used, so that the upper half of the split guardrail 14 can be opened outward, thus facilitating the loading of goods.

[0031] Furthermore, when folding the enclosure structure, it is necessary to first fold the split guardrails 14 on both sides, and then fold the integral guardrails 13 in sequence, so that the enclosure structure can be easily folded when the storage cage is not in use, improving the space utilization rate.

[0032] Furthermore, support columns 21 are provided on the enclosure structure, effectively enhancing the overall stability of the enclosure structure and preventing the enclosure structure from deforming due to factors such as impact.

[0033] Furthermore, a forklift fork position 22 is provided at the lower end of the base 1. When the loaded goods are too heavy to be lifted by manpower, it is necessary to use a forklift to lift it onto the vehicle or place it on the shelf. The design of the forklift fork position 22 can accurately guide the forklift fork to insert, ensuring a large contact surface between the forklift fork and the base 1, thereby improving the stability during the handling process.

[0034] Furthermore, the user can decide to place it using the feet or move it using the universal wheels 3 according to the usage situation. When not in use, it can be folded up and stacked. When storing goods, multiple storage cages loaded with goods can also be stacked, improving the space utilization rate. Moreover, the design of the universal wheels 3 enables the storage cage to move, improving the efficiency of warehouse management and goods transportation.

[0035] In the present utility model, the wheel body frame 5 and the base 1 are designed to be hinged, so that the wheel body frame 5 can be unfolded and folded. The user can decide to use the universal wheels 3 or the support feet 2 according to the usage scenario. The design of the universal wheels 3 facilitates the flexible movement of the storage cage. Furthermore, the fastening screw 12 ensures the stability of the wheel body frame 5 in both the unfolded and folded states by fixing the connection holes. In addition, the notch 4 at the bottom of the support feet 2 improves the stability of the storage cage when stacked.

[0036] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present utility model. Although the present utility model is disclosed above in preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model, when making some changes or modifications using the above-disclosed technical content as equivalent change equivalent embodiments, but as long as it does not depart from the content of the technical solution of the present utility model, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical meaning of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
