[0048] The bottom of the pull handle 500 is provided with a base 510, which is rotationally connected with the two connecting rods. When the base 510 swings along with the pull handle 500 in the left-right direction, all the front wheels 210 can be driven to synchronously steer through the two connecting rods. For the understanding of the synchronization: the steering angle and direction of the front wheels 210 are the same as the swinging angle and direction of the pull handle 500 in the left-right direction. Corresponding to the structure: the sequentially connected points of the first connecting rod 410, the second connecting rod 420 and any two-wheel seat 220 form a first parallelogram, and the sequentially connected points of the first connecting rod 410, the second connecting rod 420, the base 510 and any wheel seat 220 form a second parallelogram. Among them, the wheel seat 220 is detachably connected with the bearing frame 100, and the two connecting rods and the pull handle 500 are also detached, which is convenient for packaging, transportation and assembly. For example, the bearing frame 100 is provided with a socket extending in the height direction and a lock piece sliding in the radial direction. During assembly, the pivot shaft 221 is inserted into the socket, and the lock piece is reset under the action of the spring to limit the pivot shaft 221 from being separated from the bearing frame 100.

[0049] The trolley of the present application can steer the front wheels 210 synchronously when the pull handle 500 is operated, which is not affected by the road conditions and is more convenient to steer. Among them, the trolley 1000 further comprises a limiting mechanism for limiting the steering angle of the front wheels 210, so as to avoid interference between the pull handle, the two connecting rods, the front wheels and the wheel seats and damage to the parts.

[0050] a. Between the base and at least one connecting rod;

[0051] b. Between at least one connecting rod and a wheel seat;

[0052] c. Between the two connecting rods.

[0053] Among them, the number of front wheels 210 shown in the drawings is two, and they are connected to the two ends of the first connecting rod 410. Referring to Figures 4-8 In an embodiment, the first connecting rod 410 comprises a rod portion 411 and a pivot seat 412 connected with the rod portion 411. The pivot shaft 221 is rotationally connected with the bearing frame 100 through the pivot seat 412, and the limiting mechanism is arranged between the pivot seat 412 and the corresponding wheel seat 220. In the drawing, the pivot seat 412 comprises a U-shaped connecting seat 413 and a connecting cylinder 414. The connecting seat 413 comprises a base portion 4131 connected with the rod portion and a connecting arm 4132 connected with the base portion 4131. The connecting cylinder 414 penetrates and is connected with the connecting arm 4132, and the connecting cylinder 414 is provided with a pivot hole 4141 rotationally matched with the pivot shaft 221.

[0054] The two connecting arms 4132 are a first connecting arm and a second connecting arm from bottom to top, respectively, and the wheel seat 220 has an upper surface 223, the first connecting arm has an outward protruding limiting portion 4133, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting slot 222 and a limiting pin 610, the limiting slot 222 is arranged on the wheel seat 220 and extends circumferentially with the pivot shaft 221 as the center; the limiting pin 610 is arranged on the limiting portion 4133 and extends into the limiting slot 222, when the limiting pin 610 abuts against the end wall of the limiting slot 222, the steering angle of the front wheel 210 is at a maximum value. For example, the maximum steering value of the front wheel 210 is 60 degrees.

[0055] Among them, the connecting seat 413 and the wheel seat 220 are metal materials, the limiting portion 4133 extends horizontally and is arranged in parallel and spaced apart from the upper surface 223 to reduce friction between metals. Preferably, the trolley 1000 further comprises a first gasket 620 arranged between the limiting portion 4133 and the upper surface 223, the limiting pin 610 penetrates the first gasket 620, the first gasket 620 is a non-metal material, for example, a rubber material, to avoid friction with the connecting seat 413 and the wheel seat 220 and make the connecting seat 413 and the wheel seat 220 move smoothly.

[0056] The second connecting rod 420 is a metal material, and it is arranged in spaced apart from the upper surface 223 of the wheel seat 220, and the trolley 1000 comprises a second gasket 630 arranged between the second connecting rod 420 and the upper surface 223. The second gasket 630 is a non-metal material, for example, a rubber material, to avoid friction with the second connecting rod 420 and the wheel seat 220 and make the second connecting rod 420 and the wheel seat 220 move smoothly to maintain the steering fluency of the front wheel.

[0057] Among them, the pull handle 500 is rotationally connected with the base 510, and the pull handle 500 rotates in a vertical plane. That is, the rotation plane of the pull handle 500 is perpendicular to the rotation plane of the base 510, so that the steering feedback of the pull handle 500 to the speed of the front wheel is more timely.

[0058] Referring to Figure 3 In an embodiment, the wheel body 211 is detachably connected with the wheel seat 220, facilitating replacement of the wheel body 211 to adapt to different scenes. For example, in the case of uneven road surface such as beach or grassland, the front wheel 210 and the rear wheel of the rear wheel assembly can be a large-size wheel body as shown in the figure, the large size including the diameter and width of the wheel body, and the surface tread of the wheel body should be more suitable for such scenes. For another example, in indoor or shopping mall, etc., it can be a common wheel body, for example, with smaller width than the foregoing. The rear wheel assembly 300 includes a second wheel seat and a second wheel body, the second wheel body and the second wheel seat are detachably connected, and the second wheel seat is detachably connected with the carrying frame 100 through a second pivot shaft. In the foregoing, the wheel seat 220 of the front wheel 210 is a first wheel seat, the pivot shaft 221 is a first pivot shaft, and the wheel body 221 is a first wheel body.

[0059] Specific steering operation is: rotating the pull handle in left and right direction, the base turns, the second connecting rod is offset relative to the first connecting rod, thereby driving the wheel seat relative to the pivot shaft, realizing the synchronous steering of the front wheel. When the front wheel rotates to the limit angle, the limiting mechanism is triggered, limiting the rotation of the front wheel, feedback to the pull handle, the pull handle can not be further rotated. If the operator still applies force to drive the pull handle to further turn, the force is fed back to the bearing frame through the limiting mechanism at both ends, causing the bearing frame to move left and right as a whole, while avoiding the interference of the main components and damage.

[0060] The handcart of the present application, when steering, operates the pull handle to make the front wheel synchronous steering, which is not affected by road conditions, steering is more convenient, and it is convenient for packaging, transportation and assembly.

[0061] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description simple, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, however, as long as the combination of the technical features does not exist contradictory, it should be considered as the scope disclosed in the specification.
