The wheel carrier is subjected to a spring force of a top spring, which is directed away from the pressing piece. The utility model is mainly assembled on furniture, such as the bottom of a seat. When the base is fixed to the bottom of the seat, the spring force of the top spring can support the weight of the seat without being compressed when the seat is unoccupied, and the wheel body can be easily pivoted. When the seat is occupied or an object is placed on the seat, the spring force of the top spring is overcome, and the top spring is compressed. The base can drive the pressing piece to move downward to contact the wheel body, so that the wheel body is not easily pivoted or cannot be pivoted, thereby limiting the movement of the seat. Compared with the prior art, the utility model can keep the wheel body in a state of being easily pivoted or not easily pivoted or unable to be pivoted according to the use state of the assembled furniture, such as the seat, effectively increases the functionality, and better meets the user's needs.
