[0026] Platform mechanism 2 includes bearing frame 21, a plurality of bearing plates 22 are set on the bearing frame 21, and a plurality of hinges 23, one side frame of the bearing frame 21 is connected by a plurality of hinges 23 and the carriage 1, the first fence mechanism 4 is set in the other side frame opposite to this side frame, and the second fence mechanism 5 is set in the side frame adjacent to the first fence mechanism 4 of bearing frame 21.Specifically, when platform mechanism 2 is retracted, bearing frame 21 is close to the side wall of carriage 1, when platform mechanism 2 is extended and opened, bearing frame 21 is folded down to be parallel to horizontal plane.

[0027] Bearing frame 21 includes a plurality of hollow pipes, and support assembly 3 is rotatably connected at the bottom of pipe arranged along the width direction of bearing frame 21.In the embodiment, bearing frame 21 is generally a rectangular frame composed of hollow pipes, and a plurality of shorter pipes corresponding to the short side frame of the rectangular frame are connected between the two long side frames of the rectangular frame, and support assembly 3 is connected to the bottom of the short pipe.In addition, reinforcing support pipes are also connected between adjacent short pipes to improve the stability and load-bearing capacity of the whole.

[0028] The pipe wall of the pipe connected with support assembly 3 is provided with an opening corresponding to support assembly 3, and one end of support assembly 3 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the pipe.This connection mode makes support assembly 3 have a certain activity, that is, when platform mechanism 2 needs to be retracted, support assembly 3 can be flexibly rotated by means of its rotating connection characteristics with the inner wall of the pipe until it is completely stored in the pipe, achieving compact storage effect.In order to further ensure the stability of support assembly 3 in storage state, support assembly 3 can be locked and fixed by using a latch or the like to prevent unnecessary displacement or shaking of support assembly 3 in non-working state due to external force or other factors, so as to ensure the structural stability and safety of the whole platform mechanism 2 in retracted state, and also provide convenient and reliable conditions for subsequent re-expansion use.

[0029] The support assembly 3 comprises a first support pipe 31 connected with the bearing frame 21, a second support pipe 32 inserted into the first support pipe 31, the first support pipe 31 is uniformly provided with a plurality of first insertion holes 33, and the second support pipe is provided with a plurality of second insertion holes 34 matched with the first insertion holes 33. Specifically, the second support pipe 32 is inserted into the first support pipe 31 from the lower end of the first support pipe 31, and the two constitute a telescopic structure. This telescopic structure can flexibly adjust the length of the second support pipe 32 extending out of the first support pipe 31 according to the actual ground conditions, such as the flatness and slope of the ground and other factors, so as to ensure that the platform mechanism 2 can be adjusted to a relatively stable state (i.e. closer to parallel to the horizontal plane) under various different terrain conditions, meeting the actual use requirements. A plurality of first insertion holes 33 are uniformly arranged along the length direction of the first support pipe 31, providing multiple adjustment positions for the second support pipe 32, so that the adjustment process is more fine and accurate.
