Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of handcart technology, specifically a folding handcart. Background Technology
[0002] A handcart is a simple, human-powered transport tool, typically consisting of a frame, wheels, a carrying platform, and a handle, used for short-distance transport of heavy objects. Its design varies, with common types including two-wheeled handcarts, four-wheeled flatbed carts, and foldable portable carts, widely used in logistics warehousing, construction sites, supermarkets, and other scenarios. Through its wheel-axle mechanical structure, the handcart significantly reduces handling resistance and improves transport efficiency. Traditional handcarts consist of a small flatbed with four wheels at the bottom; this type of handcart is small in size and can carry limited loads. Therefore, to address these issues, a foldable handcart needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Depend on Figures 1 to 6 The present invention includes a carrying plate A1 and a carrying plate B2. The length of carrying plate B2 is greater than the length of carrying plate A1. The bottoms of carrying plate A1 and carrying plate B2 are connected by a hinge 3. Inverted L-shaped blocks 4 are symmetrically fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom of carrying plate A1 away from carrying plate B2. Rollers 5 are installed on one side of each of the two inverted L-shaped blocks 4, and the two rollers 5 are located on the outer sides of carrying plate A1. Universal wheels 6 are installed at both ends of the bottom of carrying plate B2 away from carrying plate A1. The top of carrying plate B2 is fixedly fixed at both ends of the side away from carrying plate A1. Mounting blocks 7 are fixedly installed, and an n-shaped pull rod 8 is rotatably installed between the two mounting blocks 7. Grooves A9 and B10 are respectively opened at the close ends of the two sides of the carrying plate A1 and the carrying plate B2. An inner square insert A11 is fixedly installed inside the two grooves A9. An inner square insert B12 aligned with the inner square insert A11 is fixedly installed inside the two grooves B10. A directional pin 13 is movably inserted into the two inner square inserts B12. One end of the two directional pins 13 is movably inserted into the two inner square inserts A11.
[0020] A pressing plate A14 is fixedly installed on the surface of the two directional pins 13 located between the inner square inserts A11 and B12. A spring A15 is sleeved on the surface of the two directional pins 13 located between the inner square inserts A11 and B12. The two ends of the spring A15 are fixedly connected to the pressing plate A14 and the inner square insert B12, respectively. An L-shaped locking plate 16 is fixedly installed on the end of the two directional pins 13 away from the inner square insert A11. A locking block 17 matching the L-shaped locking plate 16 is fixedly installed inside the two grooves A9, so that the carrier plate A1 and the carrier plate B2 can be effectively folded and the carrier plate A1 and the carrier plate B2 can be stably unfolded for use.
[0021] A slot 18 is provided on the top of the loading plate A1 near the loading plate B2. An arc-shaped slot 19 is provided at the bottom of the slot 18. A card plate 20 is fixedly installed on the side of the loading plate B2 near the loading plate A1, which is located inside the slot 18. An arc-shaped insert plate 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the card plate 20 and is movably inserted into the arc-shaped slot 19. This can effectively bear the weight and prevent the hinge 3 from being damaged due to excessive weight.
[0022] Specifically, when the cargo trays A1 and B2 are unfolded for transporting goods, the goods placed on top of the cargo trays A1 and B2 will press down on the cargo trays A1 and B2. At this time, the pressure can be effectively transferred to the cargo trays A1 and B2 through the arc-shaped insert plate 21 and arc-shaped slot 19, as well as through the card plate 20 and card slot 18, thus avoiding damage to the hinge 3.
[0023] When it is necessary to fold the cargo plates A1 and B2, by moving the two L-shaped latches 16, the two directional pins 13 are moved, thereby allowing the two directional pins 13 to be processed from inside the two inner square blocks A11 and compressed by the compression plate A14 against the spring A15. Then, by rotating, the cargo plates A1 and B2 are folded so that the L-shaped latches 16 are located inside the groove A9. Then, by releasing the L-shaped latches 16, the elastic restoring force of the spring A15 will cause the L-shaped latches 16 to engage with the latch block 17, thus keeping the folded cargo plates A1 and B2 stable. The folding of the cargo plates A1 and B2 will cause the rollers 5 to be located outside the sides of the cargo plate B2, and after the cargo plates A1 and B2 are folded, the two universal wheels 6 will contact the ground for movement.
[0024] Two limiting holes 22 are provided on the surface of each of the two mounting blocks 7. Sleeves 23 are fixedly installed on the lower part of both sides of the n-shaped pull rod 8. Fixing pins 24, which are inserted into the limiting holes 22, are movably installed inside the two sleeves 23. Extrusion plates B25 are fixedly installed on the lower part of the fixing pins 24. Springs B26 are sleeved on the surface of the fixing pins 24. The two ends of the springs B26 are fixedly connected to the extrusion plates B25 and the sleeves 23, respectively. Pull cables 27 are fixedly installed on the top of the two fixing pins 24. Adjusting rods 28 are rotatably installed on the upper part of the n-shaped pull rod 8. The two pull cables 27 are fixed to the two ends of the adjusting rods 28, and rotating wheels 29 are fixedly installed on both ends of the adjusting rods 28, so that the n-shaped pull rod 8 can be effectively rotated and folded for adjustment.
[0025] Specifically, after the carrier plate A1 and carrier plate B2 are folded, the n-shaped pull rod 8 is rotated and folded again. By rotating one of the rotating wheels 29, the adjusting rod 28 is rotated. The rotation of the adjusting rod 28 will pull the cable 27 to rewind. After the cable 27 is rewinded, it will pull the fixing pin 24 to move upward, so that the fixing pin 24 is removed from the inside of the limiting hole 22 and the spring B26 is compressed by the compression plate B25.
[0026] Then, the n-shaped pull rod 8 can be rotated to keep it parallel to the carrying plate B2. The rotation of the n-shaped pull rod 8 will drive the fixing pin 24 to move. When the fixing pin 24 is aligned with another limiting hole 22, the elastic restoring force of the spring B26 will cause the fixing pin 24 to be inserted into the other limiting hole 22, so that the n-shaped pull rod 8 can be stably kept parallel to the carrying plate B2. Then, the carrying plate B2 and the two universal wheels 6 can move effectively. At the same time, the vertical trolley after folding and adjustment can effectively reduce the storage space occupied.
[0027] This handcart features a foldable structure, which allows the cargo tray to be divided into two, increasing the number and area of the trays and thus effectively improving the handcart's carrying capacity. The foldable structure also facilitates the handcart's movement and storage, enhancing its practicality. Furthermore, this foldable handcart has a simple design, is easy to fold and unfold, and is stable and reliable in use. Its performance meets the needs of cargo transportation.
