Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of commercial facility technology, and specifically relates to a logistics trolley. Background Technology

[0002] A logistics trolley is a tool used for storing, loading, unloading, handling, and displaying goods. Logistics trolleys offer advantages beyond those listed below: they can better utilize warehouse space, increasing warehouse utilization and thus expanding storage capacity; they facilitate the storage and turnover of goods, ensuring easier storage and making the stored goods readily visible, facilitating inventory checks and easy confirmation of stock levels; they improve logistics efficiency by easily moving goods from one location to another, thereby saving labor costs; and they help reduce workplace accidents, for example, by preventing injuries when handling heavy objects that pose a safety risk.

[0003] Technical information on logistics trolleys can be found in publicly available Chinese patent documents, such as CN103448767A recommending a "plastic base logistics trolley" and CN203063998U providing a "foldable logistics trolley," etc. A typical example is the "two-door logistics trolley" described in CN104442950B. This patent makes up for the shortcomings of the aforementioned two patents and objectively fulfills the technical effects described in paragraph 0018 of its specification. However, because its front and rear folding mechanisms each consist of a first folding guide rail and a second folding guide rail with a cross-sectional shape of 1 / 2, and the opposing ends of the first and second folding guide rails form a sliding pair and are hinged by a hinge pin, this structure, while capable of converting the usage state into a foldable storage state, also cannot convert it into a foldable storage state. However, since the opposing ends of the first and second folding guide rails form a mutually compatible sliding pair, the first and second folding guide rails need to use components of different specifications, i.e., one large and one small. This makes it impossible to achieve the same load-bearing strength between the first and second folding guide rails, and also affects the appearance. Utility Model Content

Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of an embodiment of the present utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0016] In order to better understand the technical essence and beneficial effects of this utility model, the applicant provides a detailed description below by way of embodiments. However, the description of the embodiments is not intended to limit the solution of this utility model. Any formal but not substantive equivalent transformations made based on the concept of this utility model should be considered within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.

[0017] In the following description, all directional or orientational concepts involving up, down, left, right, front, and back are based on Figure 1 The current position is used as an example and therefore should not be construed as a special limitation on the technical solution provided by this utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1 The diagram shows a left column 1, a right column 2, and one or more shelf shelves 3. The left column 1 and right column 2 correspond to each other, i.e., they are left and right to each other. The shelf shelves 3 are located between the left column 1 and the right column 2, and the left side of the shelf shelf 3 is hung on the left column 1 at the position corresponding to the left column 1, while the right side of the shelf shelf 3 is hung on the right column 2 at the position corresponding to the right column 2. The diagram also shows a front folding mechanism 4 and a rear folding mechanism 5. The front folding mechanism 4 is located below the front side between the left column 1 and the right column 2, while the rear folding mechanism 5 is located below the rear side between the left column 1 and the right column 2, and the structure of the rear folding mechanism 5 is the same as that of the front folding mechanism 4. The aforementioned front folding mechanism 4 includes a first folding beam 41 and a second folding beam 42. The left end of the first folding beam 41 is pivotally connected to the lower right front part of the aforementioned left column 1, and the right end of the second folding beam 42 is pivotally connected to the lower left front part of the aforementioned right column 2.

[0019] The key technical point of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: In the aforementioned structural system of the front folding mechanism 4 of the logistics trolley, a folding beam connecting sleeve 43 is also included. The folding beam connecting sleeve 43 is pivotally connected to the right end of the first folding beam 41 and the left end of the second folding beam 42 at a position corresponding to the right end of the first folding beam 41 and the left end of the second folding beam 42. The first folding beam 41 and the second folding beam 42 are the same size and have a cross-sectional shape of []. The right end of the first folding beam 41 and the left end of the second folding beam 42 are accommodated in the folding beam connecting sleeve 43.

[0020] Depend on Figure 1As shown, the first folding beam 41 and the second folding beam 42 are each made of U-shaped steel of the same specifications. Furthermore, although the applicant has shown only one storage shelf 3 in the figure, in actual use there can be two, three, or more, depending on the type of items being handled. However, when using only one storage shelf 3, it is preferable to place its front and rear sides on the front folding mechanism 4 and the rear folding mechanism 5 respectively, while the left and right sides are hung on the left shelf 1 and the right shelf 2 respectively. Using only one storage shelf 3 can meet the requirements for transporting relatively heavy items.

[0021] A first folding beam hinge seat 11 is fixed at the lower right end of the front of the aforementioned left column 1. The left end of the aforementioned first folding beam 41 is pivotally connected to the first folding beam hinge seat 11. A second folding beam hinge seat 21 is fixed at the lower left end of the front of the aforementioned right column 2. The right end of the aforementioned second folding beam 42 is pivotally connected to the second folding beam hinge seat 21.

[0022] A first folding beam hinge seat pivot hole 111 is provided on the aforementioned first folding beam hinge seat 11. A first folding beam hinge seat pivot 1111 is provided on the first folding beam hinge seat pivot hole 111. The left end of the aforementioned first folding beam 41 extends into the first folding beam hinge seat 11 and a first folding beam left hinge shaft hole 411 is provided. The first folding beam hinge seat pivot 1111 hinges the left end of the first folding beam 41 to the first folding beam hinge seat 11 at positions corresponding to the first folding beam hinge seat pivot hole 111 and the first folding beam left hinge shaft hole 411. A second folding beam hinge seat pivot hole 211 is provided on the aforementioned second folding beam hinge seat 21. A second folding beam hinge seat pivot 2111 is provided on the second folding beam hinge seat pivot hole 211. The right end of the aforementioned second folding beam 42 extends into the second folding beam hinge seat 21 and a second folding beam right hinge shaft hole 421 is provided. The right end of the second folding beam 42 is hinged to the second folding beam hinge seat 21 by the aforementioned second folding beam hinge seat pivot 2111 at the positions corresponding to the second folding beam hinge seat pivot hole 211 and the second folding beam right hinge shaft hole 421.

[0023] A right hinge shaft hole 412 is provided at the right end of the aforementioned first folding beam 41, and a left hinge shaft hole 422 is provided at the left end of the aforementioned second folding beam 42. A first hinge shaft hole 431 and a second hinge shaft hole 432 are provided on the aforementioned folding beam connecting sleeve 43. A first hinge shaft 4311 is provided on the first hinge shaft hole 431, and a second hinge shaft 4321 is provided on the second hinge shaft hole 432. The first hinge shaft 4311 hinges the right end of the first folding beam 41 to the folding beam connecting sleeve 43 at a position corresponding to the first hinge shaft hole 431 and the right hinge shaft hole 412 of the first folding beam. The second hinge shaft 4321 hinges the left end of the second folding beam 42 to the folding beam connecting sleeve 43 at a position corresponding to the second hinge shaft hole 432 and the left hinge shaft hole 422 of the second folding beam.

[0024] The cross-sectional shape of the aforementioned folding beam connecting sleeve 43 is U-shaped, meaning that the folding beam connecting sleeve 43 is made of U-shaped steel with a specification one size larger than that of the first folding beam 41 and the second folding beam 42.

[0025] The aforementioned left column 1, right column 2, and shelf column 3 are perforated grid structures. Specifically, the left column 1 is formed by welding the spaced left column longitudinal grid ribs 13 and spaced left column horizontal grid ribs 14 together in a crisscross pattern within a U-shaped frame. Similarly, the right column 2 is formed by welding the spaced right column longitudinal grid ribs 23 and spaced right column horizontal grid ribs 24 together in a crisscross pattern within a U-shaped frame.

[0026] On the left side of the aforementioned shelf 3, there is a set of left shelf hooks 31 arranged at intervals, and on the right side of the shelf 3, there are right shelf hooks 32 arranged at intervals. The left shelf hooks 31 are hung on the left shelf 1, and the right shelf hooks 32 are hung on the right shelf 2.

[0027] A left column wheel 12 equipped with a brake is provided at the bottom of the front and rear sides of the aforementioned left column 1, and a right column wheel 22 equipped with a brake is provided at the bottom of the front and rear sides of the aforementioned right column 2. Both the left column wheel 12 and the right column wheel 22 are preferably omnidirectional wheels.

[0028] Preferably, a folding mechanism limiting foot 33 is fixed at corresponding positions on the lower front and rear sides of the shelf 3. The folding mechanism limiting foot 33 located on the lower front side of the shelf 3 cooperates with the front folding mechanism 4, while the folding mechanism limiting foot 33 located on the lower rear side of the shelf 3 cooperates with the rear folding mechanism 5. Specifically, the folding mechanism limiting foot 33 contacts the rear side, i.e., the inward-facing side, of the aforementioned folding beam connecting sleeve 43, thereby preventing abnormal folding of the first folding beam 41 and the second folding beam 42. The same applies to the folding mechanism limiting foot 33 located on the lower rear side of the shelf 3. Thus, it can be seen that when Figure 1 When the illustrated shelf 3 is in a horizontal position, i.e., in a position capable of supporting goods, the folding mechanism limiting feet 33 can limit the front folding mechanism 4 and the rear folding mechanism 5, preventing abnormal folding. Furthermore, based on common sense, when multiple shelf units 3 exist, except for the bottom shelf unit (i.e., the one shown in the illustration) which has folding mechanism limiting feet 33, the other shelf units 3 do not need, and therefore do not require, folding mechanism limiting feet 33.

[0029] When to make Figure 1 When the unfolded state is changed to the folded storage state, that is, when the present invention is to be changed from the use state to the storage (standby) state that helps to reduce space occupation, firstly, the shelf 3 is flipped to a more vertical state that is close to the left shelf 1 or the right shelf 2. The limiting foot 33 of the folding mechanism on the bottom shelf 3 releases the restriction on the front and rear folding mechanisms 4 and 5. The operator applies a force to the front folding mechanism 4 towards the rear folding mechanism 5 (such as by gently kicking it with his foot), so that the first folding beam 41 and the second folding beam 42 of the front folding mechanism 4 are respectively rotated around the first hinge shaft 4311 and the second hinge shaft 4321 of the connecting sleeve. This causes the opposite ends of the first folding beam 41 and the second folding beam 42, i.e. the right end of the first folding beam 41 and the left end of the second folding beam 42, to be closed together in the continuous state of the folding beam connecting sleeve 43. In this state, the aforementioned left shelf 1 and right shelf 2 are also closed together. When it is to be used, the operation is reversed as described above.

[0030] In summary, the technical solution provided by this utility model makes up for the shortcomings of the prior art, successfully completes the invention task, and faithfully realizes the technical effects described by the applicant in the above technical effect column.
