[0003] Existing foot brake structures require considerable time and effort to fix handcarts in place due to the small size of the pedal, thus reducing their practicality. Therefore, a foot brake structure suitable for handcart casters is needed to quickly position the limit frame to the desired location. This structure should be simple, easy to operate, and improve the practicality of the design. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a foot brake structure suitable for handcart casters, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing foot brake structure requires a lot of time and effort to step on the pedal to the desired position when fixing the handcart due to the small design of the pedal, thus reducing the practicality of using the structure.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a foot brake structure suitable for handcart casters, comprising:

[0007] A connecting assembly, the connecting assembly including a trolley body and caster bodies fixed to the bottom of the trolley body;

[0008] The limiting assembly includes a fixed frame, a rotating column, a limiting frame, and a limiting rod; the fixed frame is fixed to the outer surface of one side of the trolley body, the rotating column is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed frame, the limiting frame is fixed to the lower surface of the rotating column, and the limiting rod passes through and connects to the inside of the fixed frame and the rotating column.

[0009] Furthermore, a first spring and a protective tube are fixed to the outer surface of the fixed frame, with the first spring located inside the protective tube.

[0010] Furthermore, a guide frame is fixed to the outer surface of the limiting rod, and the outer surface of the guide frame is fixed to the outer surface of the first spring.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a replacement component, which includes a rubber pad, a connecting post, a movable plate, and a limiting block; the rubber pad is located inside the limiting frame, the connecting post is fixed to the outer surface of the rubber pad and extends through the inside of the limiting frame, the movable plate is fixed to the outer surface of the limiting frame, the limiting block is fixed to the lower surface of the movable plate and extends through the inside of the connecting post.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0015] I. This utility model, through the setting of a limiting component, when it is necessary to fix the trolley body in the required position, applies a pulling force to the guide frame, causing the limiting rod to disengage from the inside of the rotating column, and applies a pushing force to the rotating column, so that the limiting frame is locked outside the caster body.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment is a foot brake structure suitable for handcart casters, including:

[0030] The connecting assembly includes a trolley body 11 and a caster body 12 fixed to the bottom of the trolley body 11;

[0031] The trolley body 11 serves as the supporting frame for the entire trolley, carrying goods or items that need to be moved. It is the main part of the trolley and provides a mounting base for other components such as casters. The caster body 12 is installed at the bottom of the trolley body 11, enabling the trolley to move.

[0032] The limiting assembly includes a fixed frame 21, a rotating column 22, a limiting frame 23, and a limiting rod 26. The fixed frame 21 is fixed to the outer surface of one side of the trolley body 11, the rotating column 22 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed frame 21, the limiting frame 23 is fixed to the lower surface of the rotating column 22, and the limiting rod 26 passes through and connects the inside of the fixed frame 21 and the rotating column 22.

[0033] The fixed frame 21 is used to rotate the rotating column 22 inside it, and the rotating column 22 is used to change the position of the limiting frame 23. The limiting frame 23 holds the caster body 12, thereby restricting the caster body 12 to the required position. The limiting rod 26 is used to restrict the rotating column 22 inside the fixed frame 21.

[0034] A first spring 24 and a protective tube 25 are fixed to the outer surface of the fixed frame 21, with the first spring 24 located inside the protective tube 25.

[0035] The first spring 24 is used to quickly spring back the limiting rod 26 to the desired position, and the protective tube 25 is used to protect the first spring 24, thereby extending the service life of the first spring 24.

[0036] A guide frame 27 is fixed to the outer surface of the limiting rod 26, and the outer surface of the guide frame 27 is fixed to the outer surface of the first spring 24;

[0037] The guide frame 27 facilitates the application of a pulling force to the limiting rod 26, thereby moving the limiting rod 26 to the desired position.

[0038] Working principle: When it is necessary to fix the trolley body 11 in the required position, a pulling force is applied to the guide frame 27, which drives the limiting rod 26 to disengage from the inside of the rotating column 22. A pushing force is applied to the rotating column 22, which makes the limiting frame 23 lock onto the outside of the caster body 12. The force applied to the guide frame 27 is then removed, and under the elastic force of the first spring 24, the limiting rod 26 is inserted into the rotating column 22 and the fixing frame 21.

[0039] This step quickly positions the limiting frame 23 to the desired location. The structure is simple and easy to operate, improving the practicality of the structure.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, also includes a replacement component. The replacement component includes a rubber pad 31, a connecting post 32, a movable plate 33, and a limiting block 34. The rubber pad 31 is located inside the limiting frame 23, the connecting post 32 is fixed to the outer surface of the rubber pad 31 and is connected through the inside of the limiting frame 23, the movable plate 33 is fixed to the outer surface of the limiting frame 23, and the limiting block 34 is fixed to the lower surface of the movable plate 33 and is connected through the inside of the connecting post 32.

[0041] The rubber pad 31 is used to disengage from the caster body 12 and provides friction and cushioning when braking. The connecting post 32 is used to insert into the limiting frame 23, thereby fixing the rubber pad 31 inside the limiting frame 23. The limiting block 34 is used to restrict the connecting post 32 inside the limiting frame 23.

[0042] A second spring 36 is fixed on the upper surface of the movable plate 33, and a fixing plate 35 is fixed on the upper surface of the second spring 36. The fixing plate 35 is fixed on the outer surfaces of both sides of the limiting frame 23.

[0043] The second spring 36 is used to quickly spring the limiting block 34 into the connecting column 32, and the fixing plate 35 is used to support and install the second spring 36.

[0044] A connecting pipe 37 is fixed to the upper surface of the fixed plate 35, and a magnet block 38 is fixed inside the connecting pipe 37. A magnet column 39 is fixed to the upper surface of the movable plate 33.

[0045] The connecting pipe 37 is used to receive and install the magnet block 38, which is used to connect with the magnet post 39, thereby restricting the movable plate 33 to the desired position.

[0046] Working principle: When the worn rubber pad 31 needs to be replaced, an upward lifting force is applied to the movable plate 33, which drives the magnetic column 39 to be inserted into the connecting tube 37, so that the magnetic column 39 and the magnetic block 38 are connected together. After the connecting column 32 is unrestricted, the rubber pad 31 is pulled out from the limiting frame 23, and the new rubber pad 31 is placed into the limiting frame 23. A downward pressing force is applied to the movable plate 33, and under the elastic force of the second spring 36, the limiting block 34 is inserted into the connecting column 32.

[0047] This step allows for quick replacement of worn rubber pads 31, reducing the difficulty of maintenance work.
