Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of handcarts, specifically relating to a flat-folding handcart. Background Technology

[0002] Handcarts are mainly used in daily life for places where it is inconvenient to transport goods by motor vehicles. Common handcart structures come in various forms, including foldable and non-foldable. For example, Chinese Patent No. CN205469183U discloses a fixing structure for a foldable handcart. This foldable handcart has a central support frame, which includes two I-shaped rods and a horizontal connecting rod connecting the two I-shaped rods. The horizontal rods of the cart frame are pivotally connected to the upper and lower short rods of each I-shaped rod. The frame horizontal rods pivotally connected to the lower short rods of the I-shaped rods are connected to the I-shaped rods through a pivot member. One end of each pivot member is fixed to the frame horizontal rod, and the other end is pivotally connected to the lower short rod of the I-shaped rod. Each pivot member has a slot on the side facing the lower short rod. At least one of the short rods of the I-shaped rod has a pin on both sides that cooperates with the slot. When the pin is placed in the slot, the unfolded state of the two frames is fixed. When the pin is disengaged from the slot, the two frames fold relative to each other with the pivot point of each pivot member as the center. The fixed structure of this handcart changes the height of the frame when folded, making it taller in the folded state than in the unfolded state, which is not conducive to storage and transportation.
