[0028] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 The portable cigarette delivery trolley of this utility model includes a body 1, with rollers 3 at the bottom of the body 1 and a pull rod 2 installed on one side of the body 1. The body 1 includes a first frame 101 and a second frame 102, which are rotatably connected by a hinge or hinge. The second frame 102 can be folded onto the first frame 101.

[0029] The bottom of both the first frame 101 and the second frame 102 is provided with four rollers 3;

[0030] The first frame 101 has a docking hole 5 at one end near the second frame 102. The second frame 102 has a docking pin 4 that matches the docking hole 5 at one end near the first frame 101. The docking pin 4 is inserted into the docking hole 5 synchronously as the second frame 102 rotates to be parallel to the first frame 101.

[0031] The vehicle body 1 is provided with an L-shaped mounting groove 6 for mounting the roller 3. The roller 3 is mounted inside the L-shaped mounting groove 6 via a rotating shaft 7. The rotation of the rotating shaft 7 can switch the roller 3 between being perpendicular to the vehicle body 1 and parallel to the vehicle body 1.

[0032] The interior of the vehicle body 1 is provided with a mounting cavity 9 for storing the rollers 3, and the opening of the L-shaped mounting groove 6 faces the bottom of the vehicle body 1 and the mounting cavity 9.

[0033] It also includes a positioning mechanism 8 for positioning the roller 3 in a vertical or parallel state;

[0034] The positioning mechanism 8 includes a positioning ring 81 and a positioning block 82. The positioning block 82 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 7, and the positioning ring 81 is fixedly installed on the vehicle body 1 and sleeved on the outside of the positioning block 82. The positioning ring 81 has a slot 83 that is adapted to the positioning block 82 corresponding to the vertical and parallel states of the roller 3.

[0035] A rotating shaft 11 is installed at the bottom of the pull rod 2; a mounting frame 10 is installed in the center of the first frame 101 away from the second frame 102, and the pull rod 2 is rotatably mounted on the top of the mounting frame 10 via the rotating shaft 11, and the rotating shaft 11 is higher than the second frame 102 folded onto the vehicle body 1 on the first frame 101.

[0036] The mounting frame 10 is provided with a limiting unit for the rotation angle of the pull rod 2; the limiting unit includes a protrusion 14 and a limiting turntable 12, and the limiting turntable 12 is provided with a limiting groove 13 that matches the protrusion 14; the limiting turntable 12 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 11, the protrusion 14 is vertically slidably connected to the mounting frame 10, and the protrusion 14 partially protrudes out of the outer side of the mounting frame 10, and a limiting spring 15 for resetting the protrusion 14 is installed inside the mounting frame 10.

[0037] Pull rod 2 is a telescopic rod, preferably a suitcase pull rod;

[0038] Roller 3 is a swivel wheel, preferably a swivel wheel with a brake.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] When in use, if a large quantity of cigarettes needs to be transported, the first frame 101 and the second frame 102 can be made parallel, so that more cigarettes can be placed.

[0041] If only a small amount of cigarettes needs to be transported or if it is used in a confined space such as a convenience store, the second frame 102 can be folded onto the first frame 101 by a hinge, and then the roller 3 can be rotated so that the roller 3 rotates around the axis 7 and into the mounting cavity 9. That is, cigarettes and other goods can be placed on the second frame 102. In other words, this device can move the vehicle body 1 in a confined space.

[0042] When the device needs to be stored, all rollers 3 can be rotated into the mounting cavity 9, and then the protrusion 14 can be pushed down to move the protrusion 14 away from the limiting groove 13. After the protrusion 14 is disengaged from the limiting groove 13 on the limiting turntable 12, the pull rod 2 can be rotated through the rotating shaft 11. Since the rotating shaft 11 is higher than the second frame 102 folded onto the body 1 on the first frame 101, the pulled rod 2 can be folded after rotation, thereby effectively reducing the storage volume.

[0043] During use, since the protrusion 14 is located on the mounting frame 10, the protrusion 14 can be released from the restriction of the limiting turntable 12 by stepping on it with the ball of the foot. This allows the angle of the pull rod 2 to be changed during use. By changing the angle of the pull rod 2, the device can be used in multiple ways. For example, the pull rod 2 can be made perpendicular to the vehicle body 1 and positioned by the protrusion 14, making it like a suitcase, thus making its movement more flexible. Alternatively, when the pull rod 2 is at an obtuse angle to the vehicle body 1, the arm can be placed in a more comfortable position.

[0044] When the roller 3 rotates, it will cause the rotating shaft 7 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 7 will cause the positioning block 82 to rotate in the positioning ring 81 and lock into the slot 83.

[0045] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made to the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
