[0036] Meanwhile, the second support rod 5 is also included, one end of the second support rod 5 is connected with the rear end of the middle crossbar 2, and the other end of the second support rod 5 is hinged with the front end of the second sliding seat 7.

[0037] The upper crossbar 3 of the embodiment is arranged above the middle crossbar 2 and overlaps the middle crossbar 2 in the initial state. Similarly, pulling the upper crossbar 3 can make the upper crossbar 3 slide along the length direction of the middle crossbar 2. Lifting the front end of the upper crossbar 3 upward can make the upper crossbar 3 rotate around the rear end thereof.

[0038] Specifically, the embodiment is provided with a strip-shaped through hole on the middle crossbar 2, two opposite sides of the through hole are provided with two first rolling grooves 2b with a lateral lying U-shaped cross section and opposite openings, and two second rollers 3a are arranged on the two sides of the rear end of the upper crossbar 3 corresponding to the two first rolling grooves 2b. The second rollers 3a are clamped on the first rolling grooves 2b to roll, so that the upper crossbar 3 can rotate around the axis of the second rollers 3a, and can slide on the middle crossbar 2 after rotating by a certain angle.

[0039] The embodiment is further provided with a first support rod, two ends of the first support rod are respectively hinged to the middle crossbar 2 and the upper crossbar 3, and further, the embodiment is further provided with a first sliding seat 6, the first sliding seat 6 can slide on the middle crossbar 2 but not be separated from the middle crossbar 2. Specifically, the first sliding seat 6 is long strip-shaped, and two ends of the first sliding seat 6 are provided with first sliding seat rollers corresponding to the first rolling grooves 2b, and the first sliding seat rollers are arranged in the first rolling grooves 2b.

[0040] In order to better contract, the first support rod of the embodiment is replaced by a first connecting rod 4a, a second connecting rod 4b and a third connecting rod 4c. One end of the first connecting rod 4a is hinged to the end head of the first sliding seat 6 facing the front end of the middle crossbar 2, that is, one end of the first connecting rod 4a is hinged to the front end of the first sliding seat 6.

One end of the third connecting rod 4c is hinged to the end head of the first sliding seat 6 facing the rear end of the middle crossbar 2, that is, one end of the third connecting rod 4c is hinged to the rear end of the first sliding seat 6. The other end of the third connecting rod 4c is hinged to the middle part of the second connecting rod 4b.

[0041] In use, if a vertical downward force is applied to the upper crossbar 3, the second connecting rod 4b will give a diagonal upward support force to the second connecting rod 4b under the action of the first connecting rod 4a due to the third connecting rod 4c holding the second connecting rod 4b, so that the upper crossbar 3 can withstand the vertical downward force, and the upper crossbar 3 can be used to carry objects.

[0042] The embodiment further includes a pull belt, one end of the pull belt is arranged at the front end of the upper crossbar 3, and the other end of the pull belt is connected to the rear end of the second sliding seat 7 after passing through the rear end of the upper crossbar 3 and the rear end of the middle crossbar 2. The embodiment is provided with a short shaft at the rear end of the upper crossbar 3, the rear end of the middle crossbar 2 and the rear end of the second sliding seat 7, and the pull belt is tightened by passing through the short shaft.

[0043] Further, the embodiment is further provided with a winding mechanism at the front end of the upper crossbar 3, one end of the pull belt is fixed on the winding mechanism, and the winding mechanism can wind the pull belt.

[0044] In the initial state, the lower crossbar 1, the middle crossbar 2 and the upper crossbar 3 are overlapped from top to bottom. The upper crossbar 3 is pulled forward, so that the middle crossbar 2 slides forward relative to the lower crossbar 1 and the upper crossbar 3 slides forward relative to the middle crossbar 2. After sliding for a distance, the middle crossbar 2 rotates around the front end of the lower crossbar 1 as a fulcrum, and continues to slide downward, and the upper crossbar 3 rotates around the rear end of the middle crossbar 2 as a fulcrum and slides along the middle crossbar 2. The upper crossbar 3 can always remain in a horizontal state until it slides to the limit position as a use state. The limit position can be achieved by setting a blocking part on the lower crossbar 1 and the middle crossbar 2.

[0045] When converting from the initial state to the use state, the pull belt is continuously released.

[0046] The upper crossbar 3 in the horizontal state can be used to place goods, and then only the pull belt is wound, the rear end of the upper crossbar 1 is pulled to slide upward along the middle crossbar 2, and the second support rod 5 is pulled to rotate until it is attached to the second sliding seat 7. Finally, the embodiment can be restored from the use state to the initial state, and the goods below can be transported to the roof.

[0047] Further, the embodiment also has a conveyor belt, both ends of the conveyor belt are sleeved on both ends of the middle crossbar 2, and the conveyor belt is rotatable.
