[0031] This invention provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the various embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to aid understanding, but these details should be considered exemplary only. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0033] It should be understood that when one element (e.g., the first element) is “connected” to another element (e.g., the second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an intervening element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.

[0034] An embodiment of this utility model provides a trolley with a storage box, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, the vehicle includes a base plate 310, multiple casters 320 mounted on the bottom of the base plate 310, and a storage box 400. The casters 320 are rotatable to reduce friction and facilitate movement of the entire vehicle. The casters 320 can be either fixed casters or swivel casters. The storage box 400 has several mounting parts 410 at its bottom. The storage box 400 is placed on the base plate 310, and the mounting parts 410 are detachably connected to the base plate 310.

[0035] After the mounting component 410 is connected to the base plate 310, the storage box 400 can move with the trolley. The storage box 400 can hold small items, preventing them from rolling around and facilitating their transport. After the mounting component 410 is removed from the base plate 310, the entire storage box 400 can be removed from the base plate 310, forming a regular trolley for normal goods handling. This provides greater flexibility and allows users to choose the appropriate method based on their needs.

[0036] In some embodiments, the mounting component 410 includes a plug rod 411 and a snap fastener 412 disposed on the side of the plug rod 411. The top surface of the base plate 310 has a connecting hole 301 extending to its bottom surface. The connecting hole 301 is adapted to the plug rod 411, allowing the plug rod 411 to pass through it. During the insertion of the plug rod 411 through the connecting hole 301, the snap fastener 412 can elastically retract to prevent the plug rod 411 from passing through the connecting hole 301. After the snap fastener 412 passes through the connecting hole 301, it engages with the bottom surface of the base plate 310. This snap-fit ​​connection enables a detachable connection between the mounting component 410 and the base plate 310, resulting in a simple structure and convenient installation and disassembly.

[0037] Furthermore, the side of the insertion rod 411 is provided with a clearance groove, and the buckle 412 is disposed in the clearance groove, and the buckle 412 is integrally connected to the bottom wall of the clearance groove. The existence of the clearance groove provides more space for the buckle 412 to deform, and the buckle 412 has a greater deformation, so it is easier to retract inward, which further facilitates the installation and disassembly of the mounting part 410.

[0038] In some embodiments, the storage box 400 has an outwardly protruding flange 420 on the periphery of its bottom surface, and the flange 420 is placed on the top surface of the base plate 310. The presence of the flange 420 is equivalent to increasing the area of ​​the bottom surface of the storage box 400, increasing the contact area between the storage box 400 and the base plate 310, so that the storage box 400 can be placed more stably on the base plate 310.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3-8 As shown, the trolley with a storage box in this embodiment also includes a handle for the user to grip, allowing them to pull or push the entire trolley. The handle includes a connecting base 100 and a pull rod 200. The lower end of the pull rod 200 is connected to the connecting base 100, which is detachably connected to the base plate 310. In use, the user can pull the pull rod 200 to move the entire trolley. Because the connecting base 100 is detachably connected to the base plate 310, the user can fix the handle to the base plate 310 or remove it as needed. The top surface of the base plate 310 without the handle is relatively flat, allowing for the placement of larger items without obstruction. This further enhances the flexibility of use, allowing users to choose the trolley according to their actual needs.

[0040] Furthermore, the top surface of the base plate 310 is provided with mounting holes 311 extending to its bottom surface. The mounting holes 311 are adapted to the connecting seat 100, and the connecting seat 100 can pass through the mounting holes 311. Each of the two opposite sides of the connecting seat 100 is provided with a receiving groove 101. The two receiving grooves 101 can be connected to each other or be independent of each other. Each of the two receiving grooves 101 is provided with a locking member 110 and an elastic member 120. The locking members 110 in both receiving grooves 101 can slide in a direction parallel to each other, thus the locking members 110 in the two receiving grooves 101 can move closer to each other or further away from each other. As the locking member 110 slides relative to the connecting seat 100, the locking member 110 can slide to a locked state where it at least partially extends out of the receiving groove 101 and to an unlocked state where it retracts into the receiving groove 101. When the locking member 110 is in the locked state, since it extends at least partially beyond the receiving groove 101, the protruding part bulges out from the side of the connecting seat 100, thus serving as a limit. When the locking member 110 is in the unlocked state, since it retracts into the receiving groove 101, it no longer serves as a limit.

[0041] One end of the elastic member 120 abuts against the locking member 110, and the other end can abut against the inner wall of the receiving groove 101 or other stops inside the receiving groove 101. The elastic member 120 can apply an elastic force to the locking member 110. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 120, the locking member 110 remains locked, at least partially extending out of the receiving groove 101. After the connecting seat 100 is fixed to the bottom plate 310 of the vehicle body, the force of the elastic member 120 can keep the connecting seat 100 connected to the bottom plate 310. Without external force, the connecting seat 100 is difficult to detach from the bottom plate 310, thus improving the stability of the connection. The locking member 110 is also connected to a pressing plate 130. The pressing plate 130 extends from the bottom surface of the connecting seat 100 and can slide relative to the connecting seat 100 with the locking member 110. Thus, the user can press the pressing plate 130, thereby causing the locking member 110 to slide to switch the state of the locking member 110.

[0042] When installing the handle of this embodiment, the user can press the pressing plate 130, causing the locking member 110 to overcome the force of the elastic member 120 and switch the locking member 110 to the unlocked state, so as not to block the connector 100 from being inserted into the mounting hole. Then, the connector 100 is passed through the mounting hole 311, and then the pressing plate 130 is released. Under the action of the elastic member 120, the locking member 110 remains locked. The outwardly protruding locking member 110 can abut against the bottom surface of the base plate 310 to prevent the connector 100 from disengaging from the mounting hole 311, thereby fixing the handle to the base plate 310 of the vehicle body. When disassembling the handle of this embodiment, the user can press the pressing plate 130, causing the locking member 110 to overcome the force of the elastic member 120 and switch the locking member 110 to the unlocked state. The retracted locking member 110 no longer restricts the connector 100. Then, the connector 100 is pulled out from the mounting hole 311, and the handle can be separated from the vehicle body, completing the disassembly.

[0043] In some embodiments, the bottom of the outer ends of the two locking members 110 that are far apart from each other are provided with guide ramps 111, and the height of the guide ramps 111 gradually increases in the direction in which the two locking members 110 are far apart from each other. During the process of inserting the connecting seat 110 into the mounting hole 311, the side edge of the top opening of the mounting hole 311 abuts against the guide ramps 111. Due to the inclined structure of the guide ramps 111, under the action of the pressing force, the locking member 110 will retract inward, thereby reaching the unlocked state retracted into the receiving groove 101, allowing the user to smoothly pass the connecting seat 110 through the mounting hole 311. Therefore, in this embodiment, when installing the handle, it is not necessary to manually press the pressing plate 130. After being subjected to the pressing force, the locking member 110 can automatically retract to the unlocked state, saving the user the operation of pressing the pressing plate 130, making the installation of the handle more convenient.

[0044] In some embodiments, the locking member 110 is provided with a guide groove 112, the extension direction of the guide groove 112 is parallel to the sliding direction of the locking member 110 relative to the connecting seat 100, and a guide post 140 is provided in the receiving groove 101. The guide post 140 is inserted into the guide groove 112 and can slide in the guide groove 112. The cooperation between the guide post 140 and the guide groove 112 guides the sliding direction of the locking member 110, so that the locking member 110 slides stably along a direction parallel to each other and close to each other, avoiding the problem of being unusable due to the deviation of the sliding direction.

[0045] In some embodiments, a protruding limiting ring 150 is provided at the upper end of the outer peripheral surface of the connecting seat 100. The limiting ring 150 surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the connecting seat 100 and is located above the receiving groove 101. After the connecting seat 110 passes through the mounting hole 311, the limiting ring 150 can abut against the top surface of the base plate 310, restricting the connecting seat 110 from further passing through the mounting hole 311, so that the distance between the locking member 110 in the locked state and the bottom surface of the base plate 310 is not too large.

[0046] Ideally, after the handle is installed in place, the limiting ring 150 and the locking member 110 in the locked state can clamp the base plate 310, and the connecting seat 100 is not easy to wobble relative to the base plate 310, which further improves the stability of the handle installed on the base plate 310.

[0047] In some embodiments, the receiving groove 101 forms an opening on the bottom surface of the connecting seat 100, through which the locking member 110 and the elastic member 120 can be installed into the receiving groove 101 to facilitate the assembly of the locking member 110 and the elastic member 120. A cover plate 160 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting seat 100, which covers the opening of the receiving groove 101 on the bottom surface of the connecting seat 100. This can isolate and protect the locking member 110 and the elastic member 120, and can also reduce the entry of dust and other impurities into the receiving groove 101. Meanwhile, the cover plate 160 is provided with a through groove 161. The extension direction of the through groove 161 is parallel to the sliding direction of the locking member 110 relative to the connecting seat 100. The pressing plate 130 extends out of the through groove 161 to extend beyond the connecting seat 100, so that the user can operate the pressing plate 130 from the outside. The existence of the through groove 161 provides space for the pressing plate 130 to slide with the locking member 110. Moreover, the through groove 161 can also guide the movement of the pressing plate 130 to prevent its movement direction from deviating.

[0048] Furthermore, the cover plate 160 can be fixed to the bottom of the connector 100 by various methods such as screw fixing, snap-fit ​​connection or adhesive fixing.

[0049] In some embodiments, the lower end of the pull rod 200 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 100, allowing the user to rotate the pull rod 200 to the corresponding angle as needed, making it more flexible and convenient to use.

[0050] Of course, the pull rod 200 can also be fixedly connected to the connecting seat 100 and form a preset angle relative to the horizontal direction. In this case, the pull rod 200 cannot be adjusted relative to the connecting seat 100, and the user can pull the pull rod 200 at a specific angle.

[0051] In some embodiments, the pull rod 200 is telescopic to adjust its length to meet the needs of different users or different usage scenarios. Since the telescopic structure of the pull rod is a conventional technical means, its specific implementation will not be described in detail here.

[0052] In some embodiments, the elastic element 120 may be a spring, and the locking element 110 may be provided with a groove in which the spring is located, restricting the movement of the spring so that it can stably provide elastic force. One end of the spring may abut against the inner wall of the groove, and the other end may abut against the inner wall of the receiving groove 101 or other stops inside the receiving groove 101.

[0053] In some embodiments, the upper end of the lever 200 is provided with a grip portion 201 for the user to hold. The grip portion 201 can be bent into a "7"-shaped structure, making it easier for the user to grip and requiring less effort when pulling. A rubber sleeve may be fitted onto the grip portion 201 to increase the user's grip comfort.

[0054] In some embodiments, mounting holes 311 can be provided on all four sides of the base plate 310, and the connecting seat 100 can be fixed in any one of the mounting holes 311. Users can pull the vehicle body from any direction of the base plate 310, making it more flexible to use.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the base plate 310 can be detachably combined with the base plate 310 of another trolley with a storage box. The base plates 310 of multiple trolleys can be fixed together, allowing multiple trolleys to be pushed simultaneously. After the base plates 310 of two trolleys are separated, two independent trolleys are formed, and the user can use the two trolleys independently.

[0056] Furthermore, the base plate 310 is provided with a combination structure and a connection structure that are compatible with each other. The combination structure on the base plate 310 can be connected to the connection structure of another trolley to combine and connect the two trolleys together.

[0057] Furthermore, the assembly structure includes assembly inserts 330 located at the side edges of one long side and one short side of the bottom surface of the base plate 310; the connecting structure includes a connecting plate 340 located at the side edges of the other long side and the other short side of the base plate 310, with a through connecting hole 341 on the top surface of the connecting plate 340. The assembly insert 330 of one of the two trolleys can be inserted into the connecting hole 341 of the other trolley to connect the two trolleys together.

[0058] Specifically, the combination insert 330 at the side edge of the long side of the base plate 310 of one trolley can be inserted into the connecting hole 341 at the side edge of the long side of the base plate 310 of the other trolley, so that the long sides of the base plates 310 of the two trolleys are connected together. The combination insert 330 at the side edge of the short side of the base plate 310 of one trolley can be inserted into the connecting hole 341 at the side edge of the short side of the base plate 310 of the other trolley, so that the short sides of the base plates 310 of the two trolleys are connected together.

[0059] In the above embodiments, the long side refers to the side extending along the length direction, and the short side refers to the side extending along the width direction.
