Detailed Implementation

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0025] This utility model provides a folding guardrail for a carriage, including a carriage body 1. Bearing supports 2 are welded side by side at one end of the carriage body 1. A movable part 3 is hinged inside the bearing support 2. A folding guardrail 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the movable part 3. A fixing plate 5 is fixedly installed on the top of one side of the front end face of the folding guardrail 4. A fixing slot 6 is opened in the middle of one end of the fixing plate 5. A positioning mechanism is provided on one side of the carriage body 1 for fixing the folding guardrail 4 to the side of the carriage body 1.

[0026] The positioning mechanism includes a limiting support plate 7, which is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the main body 1 of the carriage. A limiting slot 8 is opened at the top of one end of the limiting support plate 7. A movable locking piece 9 is rotatably installed on the top of one side of the limiting support plate 7 through a bearing. A first tension spring 10 is installed at the bottom of the movable locking piece 9 near the hinge shaft. The bottom of the first tension spring 10 is fixed to the bottom of the limiting support plate 7. The outer surface of the fixed locking plate 5 is located inside the limiting slot 8 near the bottom of the fixed slot 6. One side of the movable locking piece 9 is located inside the fixed slot 6. The fixed slot 6 and the movable locking piece 9 are engaged with each other.

[0027] One end of the carriage body 1 is also equipped with a locking structure for fixing the folding guardrail 4 to the rear of the carriage body 1.

[0028] As can be seen from the above, by setting up the positioning mechanism, the folding guardrail 4 can be reliably fixed when rotated to the side of the carriage, preventing it from shaking or accidentally unfolding. This solves the problem that existing guardrails are difficult to fix on the side, and improves the stability and safety of the guardrail.

[0029] Example 2:

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The locking structure includes a support frame 12, which is fixedly installed on one side of the main body 1 of the carriage, facing away from the bearing support 2. An adjustment handle 13 is hinged to one side of the support frame 12. A support kit 14 is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the adjustment handle 13. Guide grooves 15 are provided on both sides of the support kit 14. A movable plate 16 is movably installed inside the support kit 14. Both sides of the movable plate 16 extend to the outside of the guide grooves 15. The guide grooves 15 and the movable plate 16 are interlocked. A limit plate 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 16 above the support kit 14. A through hole is provided in the middle of the top of the support kit 14. The middle of one side of the outer surface of the limit plate 17 is located in the through hole. The limit plate 17 and the through hole are compatible with each other. A limit hole 18 is provided at the top of one end of the limit plate 17. A second tension spring 19 is sleeved inside the support kit 14 on one side of the outer surface of the limit plate 17.

[0031] A hook 11 is fixedly installed at one end of the main body 1 near the upper part of the support frame 12. The fixing slot 6 is engaged with the outer surface of the hook 11, and the limiting plate 17 is sleeved on the outer surface of the hook 11. The limiting plate 17 is located outside the fixing plate 5.

[0032] As can be seen from the above, the connection and cooperation between the various components of the locking structure enable the folding guardrail 4 to be firmly fixed at the rear of the carriage when unfolded. The position of the limiting plate 17 can be flexibly adjusted by adjusting the handle 13, which further enhances the reliability of the locking, ensures the stability of the guardrail during use, and avoids affecting the protective effect due to loosening.

[0033] Working principle: When the folding guardrail 4 needs to be folded to the side of the carriage, rotate the folding guardrail 4 so that it rotates around the hinge point between the movable part 3 and the bearing support 2. When the folding guardrail 4 is rotated to the position, the fixing plate 5 enters the limiting slot 8 on the limiting support plate 7. At this time, under the pulling force of the first tension spring 10, one end of the movable part 9 is inserted into the fixing slot 6, thereby firmly fixing the folding guardrail 4 to the side of the carriage to prevent it from shaking or accidentally unfolding.

[0034] When it is necessary to unfold the folding guardrail 4 and fix it to the rear of the carriage, first disengage the movable clip 9 from the fixed clip 6, and then rotate the folding guardrail 4 around the hinge point to unfold it. After unfolding it into place, engage the fixed clip 6 with the hook 11 at one end of the carriage body 1, and then operate the adjustment handle 13. The adjustment handle 13 drives the support kit 14 to rotate. Since the two sides of the movable plate 16 are interlocked with the guide slide 15, the movable plate 16 slides within the support kit 14, thereby driving the limiting hanging plate 17 to move. This causes the limiting hanging plate 17 to be sleeved on the hook 11 and located outside the fixed clip 5. At this time, under the action of the second tension spring 19, the limiting hanging plate 17 securely locks the folding guardrail 4 to prevent it from loosening, ensuring that it can effectively play a protective role during use.

[0035] The embodiments of this utility model are given for the purpose of illustration and description. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this utility model.
