Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
[0138] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to and integrated with the other component, or there may be an intervening component present. The terms "mounted," "one end," "the other end," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.
[0139] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the specification of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0140] Please refer to the above. Figures 1 to 6 , Figure 1 A frame 1 according to an embodiment of this application is shown, comprising a base frame 10; a front leg post 11; a rear leg post 12; and a rider 14. The lower end of the front leg post 11 is pivotally connected to the base frame 10; the lower end of the rear leg post 12 is pivotally connected to the base frame 10; the lower end of the rider 14 is pivotally connected to the upper end of the front leg post 11, and the upper end of the rear leg post 12 is pivotally connected to the rider 14. The frame 1 can be in an unfolded state (e.g., Figure 1 (as shown) and to the closed state (as shown) Figure 6 Switching between (as shown). For ease of description, this application uses terms indicating relative position, such as "up," "down," "front," and "rear," which refer to the orientation of the frame 1 when it is in the unfolded state. Specifically, the position further away from the support plane of the frame 1 is "up," and the position relatively closer to the support plane of the frame 1 is "down." For example, the upper end of the front leg 11 refers to the end of the front leg 11 that is relatively far away from the support plane of the frame 1 when the frame 1 is in the unfolded state, and the lower end of the front leg 11 refers to the end of the front leg 11 that is relatively close to the support plane of the frame 1 when the frame 1 is in the unfolded state. Specifically, the end of the frame 1 that is far away from the user when the trolley is pushed forward by the rider 14 is "front," and the end of the frame 1 that is relatively close to the user is "rear." For example, the front of the frame 1 is the... Figure 2 To the left of the frame, behind frame 1 Figure 2 To the right of the middle.
[0141] exist Figure 1In the illustrated embodiment, the chassis 10 includes two first rods 100 and two second rods 103, wherein the first rods 100 extend approximately along the length direction L, and the second rods 103 extend approximately along the width direction W. The two first rods 100 and the two second rods 103 form a generally rectangular structure. Optionally, at least one first reinforcing rod 101 is provided between the two first rods 100 to enhance the overall structural stability of the chassis 10. When the frame 1 is in the deployed state, the first rods 100, the front leg rod 11, the rear leg rod 12, and a portion of the rider 14 of the chassis 10 form a polygonal structure. In this embodiment, the first rods 100, the front leg rod 11, the rear leg rod 12, and a portion of the rider 14 of the chassis 10 form a generally triangular structure (an acute triangle in this embodiment, but an obtuse or right triangle in other embodiments) to ensure the stability of the vehicle body.
[0142] Please refer to the above. Figures 2 to 6 When the frame 1 switches from the extended state to the retracted state, the rider 14 and rear leg post 12 pivot towards the front of the frame 1, and the angle β between the rider 14 and rear leg post 12 gradually decreases. The front leg post 11 pivots towards the rear of the frame 1, and the first post 100, front leg post 11, rear leg post 12, and rider 14 no longer maintain a roughly triangular structure. During the retraction process, the rider 14 pivots relative to the front leg post 11, which in turn causes the front leg post 11 and rear leg post 12 to pivot relative to the base frame 10, so that the rider 14, front leg post 11, and rear leg post 12 retract towards the base frame 10. Using the interior angles of the aforementioned polygonal structure as the included angles between the first rod 100, the front leg rod 11, the rear leg rod 12, and the rider 14, during the retraction process, the included angle between the rider 14 and the rear leg rod 12 (in this embodiment, this included angle is an acute angle) gradually decreases, the included angle between the front leg rod 11 and the base frame 10 (in this embodiment, this included angle is an acute angle) gradually decreases, and the included angle between the rear leg rod 12 and the base frame 10 (in this embodiment, this included angle is an acute angle) gradually decreases. Thus, the rider 14, the front leg rod 11, and the rear leg rod 12 gradually approach the base frame 10 until, in the height direction H, the rider 14, the front leg rod 11, the rear leg rod 12, and the base frame 10 are tightly stacked together. At this point, the frame 1 switches to the retracted state. Figure 6 As shown. Therefore, by pivoting the rider 14 relative to the front leg lever 11, the front leg lever 11 and the rear leg lever 12 pivot relative to the base frame 10, allowing for rapid folding of the frame. In this embodiment, compared to the unfolded state (e.g., Figure 1 Compared to (as shown), the pivoting directions of the rider 14 and rear footrest 12 are opposite to the pivoting direction of the front footrest 11, in the retracted state (as shown). Figure 6The frame 1 (as shown) has significantly reduced dimensions in both the height direction (H) and length direction (L), allowing for easy storage and folding, such as in the trunk of a car. Furthermore, due to the significant reduction in the size of the frame 1 in the folded state, the user can more easily lift and move the trolley. Optionally, a folding hook 1002 is provided on the front leg 11, and a connecting protrusion 143 is provided on the handlebar 14. When the frame 1 is switched to the folded state, the folding hook 1002 can hook onto the connecting protrusion 143 to keep the frame 1 in the folded state and prevent accidental unfolding.
[0143] Please refer to the above. Figures 1 to 6 The frame 1 is also provided with a locking joint 15. The locking joint 15 is connected to the lower end of the rider 14 and the upper end of the front leg 11, and the rider 14 and the front leg 11 are pivotally connected via the locking joint 15. Specifically, the locking joint 15 includes a first connecting seat 151 and a second connecting seat 152 that are pivotally connected to each other. The upper end of the first connecting seat 151 is connected to the lower end of the rider 14; and the lower end of the second connecting seat 152 is connected to the upper end of the front leg 11. The locking joint 15 is configured such that when the frame 1 is in the unfolded state, the first connecting seat 151 and the second connecting seat 152 of the locking joint 15 are locked to each other and cannot pivot relative to each other, thereby locking the rider 14 and the front leg 11, preventing relative pivoting of the rider 14 and the front leg 11, and keeping the frame 1 stably in the unfolded state. When the first connecting seat 151 and the second connecting seat 152 are unlocked, the rider 14 and the front leg 11 are allowed to pivot relative to each other, allowing the frame 1 to switch from the extended state to the retracted state. It should be noted that, optionally, the first connecting seat 151 and the rider 14 are formed separately and then connected by welding or riveting. Alternatively, the first connecting seat 151 can also be integrated with the rider 14; in such an embodiment, the lower end of the rider 14 is directly connected to the upper end of the front leg 11 during the forming process. Similarly, the second connecting seat 152 can also be formed separately from the front leg 11 or as an integrated structure.
[0144] refer to Figure 8 In one embodiment, the locking joint 15 is provided with a locking member 162. The locking member 162 has a locked position, when the locking member 162 is in the locked position, the locking member 162 locks the first connecting seat 151 and the second connecting seat 152 to prevent relative pivoting of the first connecting seat 151 and the second connecting seat 152.
[0145] Continue to refer to Figure 8In one embodiment, the locking member 162 can slide along the axial direction of the first connecting seat 151 (the length direction of the rider 14 in this embodiment). A second locking protrusion 1620 and a second locking groove 1621 are formed at one end of the locking member 162 facing the second connecting seat 152. A first locking groove 1520 and a first locking protrusion 1521 are formed at one end of the second connecting seat 152 facing the first connecting seat 151. When the locking member 162 moves to the locked position, the second locking protrusion 1620 engages in the first locking groove 1520, and the first locking protrusion 1521 engages in the second locking groove 1621. At this time, the side of the first locking protrusion 1521 facing the locking member 162 abuts against the inner wall of the second locking groove 1621, the sidewall of the first locking protrusion 1521 abuts against the sidewall of the second locking protrusion 1620, and the side of the second locking protrusion 1620 facing the second connecting seat 152 abuts against the inner wall of the first locking groove 1520. Thus, through the sliding engagement of the locking member 162 with the first connecting seat 151, the abutting engagement of the second locking protrusion 1620 with the first locking groove 1520, and the abutting engagement of the first locking protrusion 1521 with the second locking groove 1621, the locking of the first connecting seat 151 and the second connecting seat 152 is achieved, and the relative pivoting of the first connecting seat 151 and the second connecting seat 152 is prevented. As a result, the rider 14 and the front footrest 11 are locked, the relative pivoting of the rider 14 and the front footrest 11 is prevented, and the frame 1 can be stably kept in the deployed state.
[0146] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the locking member 162 is coaxially arranged with the first connecting seat 151. In other embodiments, the locking member 162 may be biased to one side of the axial line of the first connecting seat 151, as long as the locking member 162 can slide along the axial direction of the first connecting seat 151 and lock into the second connecting seat 152.
[0147] In this embodiment, the first connecting seat 151 has a first extension and a first recess at one end near the second connecting seat 152, and the second connecting seat 152 has a second extension and a second recess at one end near the first connecting seat 151. When the first connecting seat 151 and the second connecting seat 152 are locked together, the first extension is received in the second recess, and the second extension is received in the first recess. The projections of the first extension and the second extension along the width direction W overlap. In this embodiment, the rider 14 and the front footrest 11 have arcuate outer peripheral surfaces, and the first extension and the second extension also have arcuate outer peripheral surfaces to connect the shapes of the rider 14 and the front footrest 11. A first locking groove 1520 and a first locking protrusion 1521 are provided at the end of the second extension. The locking member 162 is away from the front footrest 11 relative to the first extension.
[0148] Please refer to the above. Figures 3 to 5 ,as well as Figure 8Furthermore, the first connecting seat 151 has a first protrusion 1510 protruding from one side of the first extension, and the second connecting seat 152 has a second protrusion 1522 protruding from one side of the second extension. When the first connecting seat 151 and the second connecting seat 152 are locked together, the first protrusion 1510 and the second protrusion 1522 overlap in the width direction W. The pivot point between the first connecting seat 151 and the second connecting seat 152 is located at the first protrusion 1510 and the second protrusion 1522. In this embodiment, the rider 14 pivots relative to the front footrest 11 toward the front of the frame 1. The first protrusion 1510 and the second protrusion 1522 are located on the upper edge side of the first extension and the second extension, respectively. When the frame is in the retracted state, the rider 14 rotates around this pivot point and retracts to be located above the front footrest 11 (e.g., Figure 6 (As shown).
[0149] Please refer to the above. Figure 1 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the frame 1 is further provided with a release mechanism 16. The release mechanism 16 is configured to release the locking of the locking joint 15 against the rider 14 and the front footrest 11, allowing relative pivoting of the rider 14 and the front footrest 11. Optionally, the release mechanism 16 may be provided on the rider 14. The release mechanism 16 includes a release actuation member 160 and a first connector 161. The release actuation member 160 is operably connected to a locking member 162 via the first connector 161. Specifically, one end of the first connector 161 is connected to the release actuation member 160, and the other end of the first connector 161 is connected to the locking member 162. The release actuation member 160 drives the locking member 162 to a release position via the first connector 161. It should be noted that the release mechanism 16 may also have a rivet connected to the release operation member 160 and passing through the rider 14. One end of the first connector 161 can be connected to the rivet to connect with the release operation member 160, and the rider 14 may have an elongated groove for the rivet to slide; or, one end of the first connector 161 is directly connected to the release operation member 160, and the rider 14 may also have an elongated groove for the first connector 161 to pass through and slide; or, the release operation member 160 has a connecting portion extending into the inner cavity of the rider 14, one end of the first connector 161 is directly connected to the connecting portion, and the rider 14 has an elongated groove for the connecting portion to slide. Specifically, the user pushes and pulls the release operation member 160 to drive the locking member 162 to move to the release position, thereby releasing the locking joint 15 from locking the rider 14 and the front leg bar 11, allowing the relative pivoting of the rider 14 and the front leg bar 11, and thus allowing the frame 1 to switch from the unfolded state to the folded state. Optionally, as Figure 1As shown, the release operation member 160 can be positioned on the rider 14 near the push handle 142 for easy operation by the user. Those skilled in the art should understand that positioning the release operation member 160 on the rider 14 near the push handle 142 is only one optional embodiment of this application. The release operation member 160 can also be positioned in other suitable locations as needed, as long as it can drive the locking member 162 to slide to the release position.
[0150] refer to Figure 8 In one embodiment, the release mechanism 160 is a sliding push button, which is sleeved on the rider 14 and can slide along the axial direction (i.e., the length extension direction) of the rider 14. Optionally, the release mechanism 160 can also be configured in other forms, such as a button, knob, etc., as long as it can drive the locking member 162 to slide to the release position. In one embodiment, the first connecting member 161 is a steel wire, which is disposed in the inner cavity of the rider 14. Optionally, the first connecting member 161 can also be selected from other forms of connecting members, such as a connecting rod, connecting piece, connecting block, etc., as long as it enables the release mechanism 160 to be operably connected to the locking member 162.
[0151] refer to Figure 8 In one embodiment, the locking joint 15 further includes a first reset member 163. The first reset member 163 is fixed in the first connecting seat 151 and abuts against the locking member 162. The first reset member 163 is configured to cause the locking member 162 to have a tendency to slide to the locked position. Optionally, the first reset member 163 is a spring disposed within the first connecting seat 151, one end of the spring being connected to the first connecting seat 151 (or the rider 14), and the other end of the spring being connected to the locking member 162. The spring is configured to continuously apply pressure to the locking member 162, causing the locking member 162 to have a tendency to slide to the locked position. Optionally, the first reset member 163 may also be selected from other forms of reset mechanisms, such as a spring, a torsion spring, etc., as long as it can cause the locking member 162 to have a tendency to slide to the locked position.
[0152] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the rider 14 includes: a push handle 142; an inner rod 140; and an outer rod 141. The upper end of the inner rod 140 is connected to the push handle 142, and the other end of the inner rod 140 is sleeved within the outer rod 141. The inner rod 140 is slidable within the outer rod 141 to adjust the length and height of the rider 14. The frame 1 also includes a rider length adjustment mechanism 17, which is operatively connected to the inner rod 140 and the outer rod 141 to lock the relative positions of the inner rod 140 and the outer rod 141, or to allow the inner rod 140 and the outer rod 141 to slide relative to each other.
[0153] exist Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the rider length adjustment mechanism 17 includes: an adjustment button 170; a second reset member 171; an adjustment member 173; a third reset member 175; and a second connecting member 172. The adjustment button 170 is disposed on the push handle 142 and is slidable between an adjusted position and a fixed position. The second reset member 171 abuts against the adjustment button 170 and is configured to cause the adjustment button 170 to have a tendency to slide to the fixed position. Optionally, the second reset member 171 is a spring disposed within the push handle 142, with one end connected to the push handle 142 and the other end connected to one end of the adjustment button 170. The spring is configured to continuously apply pressure to the adjustment button 170, causing the adjustment button 170 to have a tendency to slide to the fixed position. Optionally, the second reset member 171 may also be selected from other forms of reset mechanisms, such as a spring, a torsion spring, etc., as long as it can cause the adjustment button 170 to have a tendency to slide to the fixed position. An adjustment button 170 is drivably connected to one end of a second connector 172, the other end of which is connected to a drive member 174. When the adjustment button 170 is pressed toward the adjustment position, it pulls the second connector 172 toward the push handle 142 (upward), thereby pulling the drive member 174 via the second connector 172, causing the drive member 174 to slide along the inner tube 140 toward the push handle 142. In one embodiment, the second drive member 172 is a steel wire. When the adjustment button 170 is pressed toward the adjustment position, it tensions the steel wire, thereby pulling the drive member 174, causing it to slide along the inner tube 140 toward the push handle 142. Alternatively, the second connector 172 can be other types of connectors, such as a connecting rod, connecting piece, connecting block, etc., as long as the adjustment button 170 can be drivably connected to the drive member 174.
[0154] In one embodiment, the adjusting member 173 is disposed in the inner rod 140. The adjusting member 173 allows the inner rod 140 and the outer rod 141 to slide relative to each other, or the adjusting member 173 locks the relative positions of the inner rod 140 and the outer rod 141. Specifically, the adjusting member 173 is fixed to the lower end of the inner rod 140. The adjusting member 173 is provided with a straight groove 1730, and a locking member 1731 is disposed in the straight groove 1730. The locking member 1731 is slidable along the straight groove 1730. Optionally, the locking member 1731 is a locking pin. The outer rod 141 is provided with multiple locking holes 1410. When the locking member 1731 slides into the locking hole 1410, the inner rod 140 cannot slide in the outer rod 141. Thus, the adjusting member 173 locks the relative position of the inner rod 140 and the outer rod 141, locking the length of the rider 14. When the locking member 1731 slides out of the locking hole 1410, the inner rod 140 is allowed to slide in the outer rod 141. Thus, the adjusting member 173 releases the locking of the relative position of the inner rod 140 and the outer rod 141, allowing the length of the rider 14 to be adjusted. The driving member 174 is disposed in the inner rod 140. One end of the driving member 174 is connected to the second connecting member 172, and the other end of the driving member 174 is provided with a driving groove (not shown). A pin 1732 (e.g., a rivet) disposed in the locking member 1731 passes through the driving groove, connecting the driving member 174 to the locking member 1731. When the user presses the adjustment button 170 to the adjustment position, the second connector 172 (e.g., a steel wire) pulls the drive member 174, causing the drive member 174 to slide along the inner tube 140 toward the push handle 142. The drive groove of the drive member 174 forces the locking member 1731 to slide along the straight groove 1730 toward the direction of exiting the locking hole 1410, thereby allowing the locking member 1731 to slide out of the locking hole 1410, allowing the length of the rider 14 to be adjusted. When the rider 14 is adjusted to the appropriate length, the user releases the pressure on the adjustment button 170. Under the action of the second reset member 171, the adjustment button 170 returns from the adjusted position to the fixed position. At this time, the second connector 172 no longer applies a pulling force to the drive member 174. Under the action of the third reset member 175, the drive member 174 has a tendency to slide along the inner tube 140 in a direction away from the push handle 142. Thus, the drive groove of the drive member 174 causes the locking member 1731 to have a tendency to slide along the straight groove 1730 in a direction towards entering the locking hole 1410. At this time, if the corresponding end of the locking member 1731 is located in the locking hole 1410, the locking member 1731 will slide into the locking hole 1410 to lock the length of the rider 14; if the corresponding end of the locking member 1731 is not located in the locking hole 1410, the length of the rider only needs to be slightly adjusted so that the corresponding end of the locking member 1731 reaches the nearest locking hole 1410, after which the locking member 1731 will automatically slide into the locking hole 1410 to lock the length of the rider 14. It should be noted that the adjusting member 173 can be any structure known to those skilled in the art, and this application does not limit it.
[0155] In one embodiment, one end of the third reset member 175 abuts against the adjusting member 173, and the other end of the third reset member 175 abuts against the driving member 174. The third reset member 175 is configured to cause the driving member 174 to have a tendency to slide away from the push handle 142. Optionally, the third reset member 175 is a spring, one end of which (e.g., Figure 8 The third reset element 175 (the end near the push handle 142) abuts against the adjusting element 173, and the other end of the spring (such as...) Figure 8 The third reset member 175 (the end furthest from the push handle 142) abuts against the drive member 174. The spring is configured to continuously apply pressure to the drive member 174, causing the drive member 174 to have a tendency to slide away from the push handle 142. Alternatively, the third reset member 175 can be selected from other types of reset mechanisms, such as a spring, torsion spring, etc., as long as it allows the drive member 174 to have a tendency to slide away from the push handle 142.
[0156] refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, the frame 1 further includes a support frame 13. The support frame 13 is a generally rectangular structure. Optionally, the edges of the support frame 13, for example, edges extending generally along the length direction L, may be recessed toward the interior of the support frame 13 to avoid interference with other components of the frame 1, as will be described in detail later. The support frame 13 is pivotally connected to a locking joint 15. Preferably, the middle portion of the support frame 13 is pivotally connected to the locking joint 15 to help reduce the length (L) dimension of the frame 1 in the folded state. Optionally, the support frame 13 may be provided with accessories such as a tray assembly 130, a sunshade assembly 131, a seat fixing mechanism 132, etc. The tray assembly 130 can be used to place tableware (not shown); the sunshade assembly 131 can be used to install a sunshade assembly (not shown); the seat fixing mechanism 132 can be used to connect mechanisms such as a bassinet, a car seat (not shown), etc. Further, in this embodiment, the frame 1 also includes a linkage 18. One end of the linkage 18 is pivotally connected to the support frame 13, and the other end is pivotally connected to the rear foot lever 12. When the frame 1 is in the extended state, the pivot point of the linkage 18 on the support frame 13 and the pivot point of the locking joint 15 on the support frame 13 are approximately at the same height in the height direction H, and together they support the support frame 13, making the support frame 13 stable and non-pivotable. When the frame 1 switches from the extended state to the retracted state, the linkage 18 pivots towards the rear of the frame 1, and the rear foot lever 12 pivots towards the front of the frame 1, thereby gradually increasing the angle γ between the linkage 18 and the rear foot lever 12. Figures 3 to 5As shown. The pivot point of the linkage 18 on the support frame 13 gradually decreases in height along the H direction. Simultaneously, as the locking joint 15 gradually decreases in height along the H direction, the pivot point of the locking joint 15 on the support frame 13 also gradually decreases in height along the H direction. During this process, the rate of decrease in height of the pivot point of the locking joint 15 on the support frame 13 in the H direction is greater than the rate of decrease in height of the pivot point of the linkage 18 on the support frame 13 in the H direction. Therefore, the support frame 13 will exhibit a tilted posture, with the front lower than the rear. Figures 3 to 5 As shown. Finally, in the height direction H, the support frame 13, rider 14, front leg bar 11, rear leg bar 12, and base frame 10 are tightly stacked together, thereby switching the frame 1 to the folded state, as shown. Figure 6 As shown. In this embodiment, the pivot point of the rear footrest 12 and the rider 14 is located on the side of the rider 14 facing the inside of the frame 1. The projection of the pivot trajectory of the rear footrest 12 along the height direction H does not overlap with the projection of the pivot trajectory of the front footrest 11 or the rider 14 along the height direction H. Thus, in the retracted state, the rear footrest 12 and the front footrest 11 are offset from each other in the width direction W.
[0157] Please refer to the above. Figure 1 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the edge of the support frame 13 extending generally along the length direction L is recessed toward the interior of the support frame 13. The distance between the two edges of the underframe 10 extending generally along the length direction L gradually decreases from the front end to the rear end of the frame 1. In the unfolded state of the frame 1, the projection of the support frame 13 in the height direction H falls within the projection of the underframe 10 in the height direction H, that is, the distance between the two edges of the support frame 13 extending generally along the length direction L is not greater than the distance between the two edges of the underframe 10 extending generally along the length direction L. The projection of the rear footrest 12 in the length direction L is generally "S" shaped. Specifically, the upper portion of the rear footrest 12 has an outward protrusion 122 protruding toward the outside of the frame 1, which is used to avoid the support member 13 to allow the upper end of the rear footrest 12 to be pivotally connected to the rider 14; the lower portion of the rear footrest 12 has an inward recess 123 recessed toward the interior of the frame 1, which is used to provide a pivot connection point for the linkage 18. When the frame 1 switches between the extended and retracted states, the recess on the edge of the support frame 13 extending approximately along the length direction L and the protrusion 122 of the rear foot bar 12 provide pivoting space for the pivoting of the rear foot bar 12, thus preventing interference between the support frame 13 and the rear foot bar 12.
[0158] exist Figures 1 to 6In the illustrated embodiment, the frame 1 further includes a front footrest 110 and a rear footrest 120. The front footrest 110 is connected to the base frame 10, and the front leg bar 11 is pivotally connected to the front footrest 110. The rear footrest 120 is connected to the base frame 10, and the rear leg bar 12 is pivotally connected to the rear footrest 120. In one embodiment, the frame 1 also includes a pull rod 19, which allows the user to pull the trolley. Optionally, the pull rod 19 is located at the front of the base frame 10. Preferably, the pull rod 19 is pivotally located at the middle of the second rod 103. (See reference...) Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the pull rod 19 can slide along a slide rail 196 located at the bottom of the base 10 to a storage position at the bottom of the base 10. Figure 2 As shown, the base frame 10 is inclined from front to back and from top to bottom, and the slide rail 196 is also inclined so as to guide the pull rod 19 to the storage position and make it easy for the user to pull out the pull rod 19.
[0159] Figure 9 A perspective view of a frame 1 in an unfolded state according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figures 10 to 13 It shows Figure 9 The process of the frame 1 shown switching from the unfolded state to the folded state. Figure 9 The vehicle frame 1 in the illustrated embodiment and Figure 1 The frames 1 in the illustrated embodiments are structurally similar; the following description focuses only on the differences between the two.
[0160] refer to Figure 9 In this embodiment, a first curved portion 1001 protruding toward the interior of the frame 1 is formed on the first rod 100 to form a first clearance space 10010. When the frame 1 is in the retracted state, at least a portion of the front leg 11 is located within the first clearance space 10010. Optionally, the position of the first curved portion 1001 on the first rod 100 is configured such that when the frame 1 is in the retracted state, at least half of the axial extension length of the front leg 11 can be located within the first clearance space 10010 (e.g., when the frame 1 is in the retracted state). Figure 13 As shown, this makes the structure of the folded frame 1 more compact and further reduces the dimensions of the folded frame 1 in the length direction L and height direction H.
[0161] Please refer to the above. Figure 9 and Figure 13In this embodiment, a second curved portion 121 protruding towards the rear of the frame 1 is formed on the rear footrest 12 to create a second clearance space 1210. When the frame 1 is in the retracted state, at least a portion of the rider 14 is located within the second clearance space 1210. Optionally, the second curved portion 121 is configured such that during the retracted state of the frame 1, the locking joint 15 can be accommodated within the second clearance space 1210, thereby the rear footrest 12 does not restrict the pivoting of the rider 14 relative to the front footrest 11; when the frame 1 is fully retracted, at least half of the axial extension length of the rider 14 can be located within the second clearance space 1210 (e.g., when the frame 1 is fully retracted). Figure 13 As shown), a portion of the rear footrest 12 rests against the top of the rider 14, thereby making the structure of the folded frame 1 more compact and further reducing the dimensions of the folded frame 1 in the length direction L and height direction H.
[0162] Please refer to the above. Figure 9 and Figure 13 In this embodiment, one end of the linkage 18 is pivotally connected to the support frame 13, and the other end of the linkage 18 protrudes outward toward the frame 1 in the width direction W to be pivotally connected to the front footrest 11. The pivot point of the rear footrest 12 and the rider 14 is located below the rider 14 in the height direction H, and the projection of the pivot trajectory of the rear footrest 12 along the height direction H at least partially overlaps with the projection of the pivot trajectory of the front footrest 11 and / or the rider 14 along the height direction H.
[0163] Please refer to the above. Figures 10 to 13 When the frame 1 switches from the extended state to the retracted state, the rider 14 and rear leg bar 12 pivot towards the front of the frame 1, and the front leg bar 11 pivots towards the rear of the frame 1. The first bar 100, front leg bar 11, rear leg bar 12, and rider 14 no longer maintain a roughly triangular structure. During the retraction process, the rider 14, front leg bar 11, and rear leg bar 12 gradually approach the chassis 10 until, in the height direction H, the rider 14, front leg bar 11, and rear leg bar 12 are tightly stacked with the chassis 10. At this time, at least a portion of the front leg bar 11 is located within the first clearance space 10010, and at least a portion of the rider 14 is located within the second clearance space 1210. Thus, the frame 1 switches to the retracted state, as... Figure 13As shown. Compared to the unfolded state, the dimensions of the frame 1 in the folded state are significantly reduced in both the height direction H and the length direction L, thus allowing for easy storage and folding, for example, in the trunk of a car. Furthermore, the significant reduction in the size of the frame 1 makes it easier for the user to lift and carry the trolley. Further, in this embodiment, the pivot position between the support frame 13 and the locking joint 15, or more precisely, the pivot position between the support frame 13 and the handlebar 14, is offset from the center of the support frame 13 by a certain distance. Specifically, the pivot position between the support frame 13 and the handlebar 14 is offset towards the side of the support frame 13 away from the linkage 18. Linkage rod 18 is positioned between support frame 13 and front foot bar 11. When frame 1 is in the extended state, the pivot point of linkage rod 18 on support frame 13 and the pivot point of locking joint 15 on support frame 13 (or the pivot point of rider 14 on support frame 13) are approximately at the same height in the height direction H, and together they support support frame 13, ensuring that support frame 13 is in a stable and non-pivotable state. When frame 1 switches from the extended state to the retracted state, linkage rod 18 pivots towards the front of frame 1, and the height of the pivot point of linkage rod 18 on support frame 13 gradually decreases in the height direction H. Simultaneously, as rider 14 pivots towards the front of frame 1, the height of the pivot point of locking joint 15 on support frame 13 (or the pivot point of rider 14 on support frame 13) also gradually decreases in the height direction H. During this process, the descent speed of the pivot point of the linkage 18 on the support frame 13 in the height direction H is approximately the same as the descent speed of the pivot point of the locking joint 15 on the support frame 13 (or the pivot point of the rider 14 on the support frame 13) in the height direction H. Therefore, during the retraction process, the support frame 13 hardly pivots relative to a plane parallel to the length direction L and the width direction W, and the support frame 13 remains approximately horizontal. Figures 10 to 12 As shown. Finally, in the height direction H, the support frame 13, rider 14, front foot bar 11, and rear foot bar 12 are tightly stacked together with the base frame 10. The design of this embodiment brings at least the following beneficial effects:
[0164] 1. It avoids accidental pinching or impact to any part of the user's body, such as hands or knees, due to the pivoting of the support frame 13;
[0165] 2. When the support frame 13 is fitted with a cloth cover, the support frame 13 and the cloth cover descend and retract together in a roughly horizontal posture, and... Figure 1 Compared to the illustrated embodiment, the material at different locations of the cover can be compressed and folded more evenly, resulting in a flatter finish after folding.
[0166] Continue to refer to Figure 9In this embodiment, a second reinforcing rod 102 is provided between the two first rods 100, and the second reinforcing rod 102 is used to enhance the overall structural stability of the base frame 10. In particular, the second reinforcing rod 102 is used to increase the structural stability at the first bend 1001. Optionally, both ends of the second reinforcing rod 102 are connected to the first bend 1001 of the two first rods 100 respectively. Optionally, the second reinforcing rod 102 is configured as an arc-shaped structure.
[0167] Please refer to the above. Figure 9 and Figure 14 In this embodiment, the adjustment button 170 is a push button sleeved on the inner rod 140, and the adjustment button 170 can slide between an adjusted position and a fixed position along the axial direction of the inner rod 140. When the user pushes or pulls the adjustment button 170, causing the adjustment button 170 to slide from the fixed position to the adjusted position, the adjustment button 170 drives the adjustment member 173 to slide to the adjusted state through the second connector 172, so as to allow the inner rod 140 and the outer rod 141 to slide relative to each other, thereby allowing the length and height of the rider 14 to be adjusted.
[0168] According to one embodiment of this application, a trolley is also provided, which includes a frame 1 according to an embodiment of this application and a cloth cover (not shown) fitted onto a support frame 13. The support frame 13 and the cloth cover together form the storage space of the trolley.
[0169] The following text is incomplete and cannot be translated. Figure 1 The illustrated embodiment demonstrates the folding process of the vehicle frame 1 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the frame 1 is in the unfolded state. When folding, firstly, disconnect mechanisms such as a bassinet or child safety seat from the seat fixing mechanism 132, and then adjust the seat fixing mechanism 132 to... Figure 1 The folded-down position is shown; pivot and slide the lever 19 to the folded-down position; and adjust the awning assembly 131 to the folded-down position, as shown. Figure 3 As shown. Then, the user pushes or pulls the release mechanism 160, for example, the release push button, and pushes the rider 14 forward toward the frame 1 to pivot, causing the rider 14 to pivot the rear leg 12 toward the front of the frame 1 and the front leg 11 toward the rear of the frame 1. When the rider 14 passes the vertical position (i.e., the position where the axial extension of the rider 14 is parallel to the height direction H), the user no longer needs to push the rider 14. The rider 14, front leg 11, and rear leg 12 will gradually approach the base frame 10 under the action of gravity until, in the height direction H, the rider 14, front leg 11, and rear leg 12 are tightly stacked with the base frame 10, and the frame 1 switches to the folded state, as shown. Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown. Finally, the user hooks the folding hook 1002 onto the connecting protrusion 143 to keep the frame 1 in the folded state and prevent accidental unfolding.
[0170] refer to Figures 15 to 17 One embodiment of this application provides a trolley including a base frame 10 and a pull rod mechanism 2 connected to the base frame 10. The pull rod mechanism 2 includes a pull rod 19; a rotating part 192; and a third connecting seat 194. One end of the pull rod 19 is connected to the rotating part 192, and the rotating part 192 is connected to the third connecting seat 194, and is pivotable between a first pivot position and a second pivot position. Referring to the base frame 10 or the rotating part 192, when the pull rod 19 is in the first pivot position, the pull rod 19 is at a first angle; when the pull rod 19 is in the second pivot position, the pull rod 19 is at a second angle. In other words, the pull rod 19 can pivot relative to the base frame 10 (or the third connecting seat 194) between the first angle and the second angle. Specifically, when the rotating part 192 pivots to the first pivot position, the pull rod 19 pivots to the upright position, such as... Figure 15 As shown; when the rotating part 192 pivots to the second pivot position, the pull rod 19 pivots to the reclining position, as... Figure 17 As shown. When the user pulls the cart using the lever 19, the lever 19 and the rotating part 192 pivot to a position that matches the user's height and arm length. For example, the lever 19... Figure 16 Its location within the system facilitates user operation.
[0171] like Figure 18 As shown, in one embodiment, the lever 19 includes a handle 190 and a connecting rod 191. The handle 190 is configured with a generally annular structure for easy gripping by the user. It should be noted that the generally annular structure is only one optional implementation of the handle structure. Those skilled in the art can choose other handle structures according to usage requirements, such as polygonal, straight, "T"-shaped, cross-shaped, etc., as long as they meet the user's gripping needs. This application does not impose any limitations in this regard. Figure 18In the illustrated embodiment, the handle 19 includes a mounting portion 1902 and a grip 1901 for the user to hold. One end of the mounting portion 1902 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 191, and the other end of the mounting portion 1902 is connected to the grip 1901. Optionally, the grip 1901 is configured as approximately "C"-shaped, and the mounting portion 1902 is configured as approximately "T"-shaped, wherein the two ends of the "C"-shaped grip 1901 are respectively connected to the two ends of the "T"-shaped mounting portion 1902, and the other end of the "T"-shaped mounting portion 1902 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 191. Optionally, the mounting portion 1902 and the grip 1901 are integrally formed. Optionally, the grip 1901 is made of a non-slip material such as rubber or plastic. Preferably, the surface of the grip 1901 is provided with a non-slip structure, such as non-slip textures or non-slip protrusions. The other end of the connecting rod 191 is connected to a rotating portion 192. Optionally, the mounting part 1902, handle 1901, and connecting rod 191 are integrally formed.
[0172] refer to Figure 19 , Figure 20 and Figure 23 In one embodiment, the rotating part 192 includes a main body 1921 and a connecting end 1922. The main body 1921 is configured as a generally cylindrical structure and can pivot about the axial direction of the cylinder. It should be noted that the generally cylindrical structure is only one optional embodiment of this application. Those skilled in the art can choose other suitable shapes for the main body of the rotating part according to actual needs, such as cubes, polyhedra, etc., and this application does not limit this. The connecting end 1922 is configured as a boss protruding from the cylindrical curved surface of the main body 1921. The boss is provided with a first connecting hole 19220, and the other end of the connecting rod 191 is inserted into the first connecting hole 19220. The interior of the main body 1921 is provided with a receiving cavity 19221 communicating with the first connecting hole 19220, and each of the two end faces of the main body 1921 is provided with a second pivot hole 1924, which communicates with the receiving cavity 19221. The other end of the connecting rod 191 passes through the first connecting hole 19220 and is received in the receiving cavity 19221, and the other end of the connecting rod 191 is provided with a first pivot hole 1910 through the connecting rod 191.
[0173] refer to Figures 19 to 21 and Figure 23In one embodiment, one end of the third connecting seat 194 is recessed inward to form a pivot space 1944. The pivot space 1944 is generally cylindrical in shape, matching the shape of the main body 1921 of the rotating part 192. The main body 1921 of the rotating part 192 is pivotally disposed within the pivot space 1944. It should be noted that the generally cylindrical structure is only one optional embodiment of this application. Those skilled in the art can choose other suitable shapes for the pivot space of the connecting seat according to actual needs, such as cubes, polyhedra, etc., as long as the main body 1921 of the rotating part 192 can be pivoted within the pivot space 1944. This application does not impose any restrictions on this. The side wall of the pivot space 1944 is provided with a fourth pivot hole 1943 communicating with the pivot space 1944.
[0174] refer to Figure 20 In one embodiment, a first positioning member 193 is provided between the third connecting seat 194 and the rotating part 192. The first positioning member 193 allows the pull rod 19 to be positioned relative to the third connecting seat 194 at multiple different pivot angles. It is understood that the first positioning member 193 limits the pull rod 19, allowing it to have multiple different positioning angles relative to the third connecting seat 194. The first positioning member 193 is configured to restrict the pivoting of the rotating part 192. Specifically, the first positioning member 193 is located between the inner surface of the sidewall of the pivoting space 1944 of the third connecting seat 194 and the end face of the body 1921 of the rotating part 192. Optionally, the first positioning element 193 is a damping plate, the thickness of which is slightly larger than the gap between the inner surface of the sidewall of the pivot space 1944 (i.e., the inner wall of the pivot space 1944) and the end face of the main body 1921 (i.e., the sidewall surface of the main body 1921 facing the inner wall of the pivot space 1944). Thus, the damping plate is clamped between the inner surface of the sidewall of the pivot space 1944 and the end face of the main body 1921. When the rotating part 192 has a tendency to pivot relative to the third connecting seat 194, static friction exists between the damping plate and the sidewall of the pivot space 1944, and between the damping plate and the end face of the main body 1921. The resultant force of these static frictions prevents the rotating part 192 from pivoting relative to the third connecting seat 194. In this embodiment, the clamping force (pressure) between the inner surface of the sidewall of the pivot space 1944 and the end face of the main body 1921 on the damping plate is set such that the torque resulting from the resultant force of the static friction force exerted by the damping plate on the sidewall of the pivot space 1944 and the end face of the main body 1921 by the clamping force (pressure) is not less than the torque resulting from the weight of the pull rod 19 and the rotating part 192. Therefore, when the user does not apply any external force to the pull rod mechanism 2, the pull rod 19 and the rotating part 192 can remain in their original positions without pivoting. This design enables the pull rod 19 to be held in any usage position (e.g., the pull rod 19 in...). Figure 16(Position within the center). Therefore, when the user releases their grip on the pull rod 19, the pull rod 19 will not suddenly pivot or fall towards the support surface under its own weight, improving the safety of the trolley and making it easier for the user to grip the pull rod 19 again. Furthermore, when the user applies a pulling or pushing force to the pull rod 19, if the total torque causing the pull rod 19 and the rotating part 192 to pivot is greater than the torque generated by the clamping force (pressure) resulting from the resultant force of the static friction between the damping plate acting on the side wall of the pivoting space 1944 and the end face of the main body 1921, the pull rod 19 and the rotating part 192 will pivot. This design allows for adjustment and positioning of the pull rod 19's usage position, and the user can adjust the pull rod 19 to any position between the first and second pivoting positions, achieving stepless adjustment of the pull rod 19's usage angle, thus broadening its applicability.
[0175] In one embodiment, the damping sheet is optionally a flexible component. Optionally, the damping sheet is made of at least one of the following materials: a soft gel; a rubber material; and a plastic material. Optionally, the damping sheet may be made of HYTREL material.
[0176] refer to Figure 20 and Figure 23 In one embodiment, a damping plate is provided between each of the two end faces of the main body 1921 and the side wall of the pivot space 1944. The damping plate has a third pivot hole 19310. When the connecting rod 191, the rotating part 192, the damping plate 193, and the third connecting seat 194 are assembled together, the pivot pin 195 passes sequentially through the fourth pivot hole 1943, the third pivot hole 19310, the second pivot hole 1924, and the first pivot hole 1910. This achieves a pivotally connected connection between the connecting rod 191 and the rotating part 192, and positions the damping plate 193 (preventing the damping plate 193 from sliding out of the gap between the inner surface of the side wall of the pivot space 1944 and the end face of the main body 1921). Optionally, the inner diameter of the first connecting hole 19220 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the connecting rod 191 to prevent the connecting rod 191 from wobbling within the first connecting hole 19220.
[0177] refer to Figure 23In one embodiment, a limiting protrusion 1923 is provided on the outer surface of the main body 1921 of the rotating part 192, and a limiting groove 19440 is provided on the inner wall of the pivoting space 1944 of the third connecting seat 194. When the rotating part 192 pivots, the limiting protrusion 1923 slides within the limiting groove 19440. When the rotating part 192 pivots from the first pivoting position to the second pivoting position, that is, when the pull rod 19 pivots from the upright position to the lying position, the limiting protrusion 1923 abuts against the side wall of the limiting groove 19440 to limit the rotating part 192 from continuing to pivot. By setting the limiting protrusion 1923 and the limiting groove 19440, the rotation range of the pull rod 19 can be limited, ensuring that the pull rod 19 maintains a certain distance from the support surface of the trolley (e.g., the ground) when in the reclining position. This prevents the pull rod 19 from contacting the support surface of the trolley (e.g., the ground) due to "excessive reclining," which could cause the handle 190 to become dirty or worn. It also makes it easier for the user to grip the pull rod 19 in the reclining position, enhancing its convenience and practicality. It should be noted that although in this embodiment the limiting protrusion 1923 is located on the main body 1921 of the rotating part 192, and the limiting groove 19440 is located in the inner wall of the pivot space 1944 of the third connecting seat 194, this is only an optional embodiment. Those skilled in the art can adjust the positions of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove according to actual needs, as long as the pivoting of the rotating part is limited to prevent "excessive reclining." For example, the limiting protrusion can be located on the inner wall of the pivot space of the third connecting seat, and the limiting groove can be located in the main body of the rotating part.
[0178] refer to Figure 21 and Figure 22 In one embodiment, the third connecting seat 194 has a first through hole 1941 at one end opposite to the pivot space 1944, and the first through hole 1941 is slidably fitted onto the slide rail 196. The third connecting seat 194 can slide along the slide rail 196 between a first sliding position and a second sliding position. When the third connecting seat 194 slides to the first sliding position, the pull rod 19 slides to the extended position, such as... Figure 21 As shown; when the third connecting seat 194 slides to the second sliding position, the pull rod 19 slides to the storage position, as... Figure 22 As shown. Therefore, when the user does not need to use the lever 19 or needs to fold up the cart, the lever 19 can be slid to the storage position, so as to avoid the lever 19 affecting the user's work and facilitate folding up the cart.
[0179] refer to Figure 21 and Figure 23In one embodiment, a second through hole 1942 is provided on the sidewall of the first through hole 1941. A second positioning hole 1961 is provided on the portion of the slide rail 196 corresponding to the first sliding position of the third connecting seat 194. A second positioning member 1960 is provided within the slide rail 196, at least a portion of which is slidable within the second positioning hole 1961 to retract and protrude from the second positioning hole 1961. When the third connecting seat 194 slides to the first sliding position, at least a portion of the second positioning member 1960 protrudes from the second positioning hole 1961 and enters the second through hole 1942 to lock the third connecting seat 194 in the first sliding position, thereby preventing undesirable sliding of the third connecting seat 194 toward the second sliding position and maintaining the pull rod 19 in the extended position. Optionally, the second positioning member 1960 is a spring sheet having a first protrusion 19601, which is slidable within the second positioning hole 1961.
[0180] refer to Figure 22 and Figure 24 In one embodiment, a third positioning hole 1963 is provided on the portion of the slide rail 196 corresponding to the second sliding position of the third connecting seat 194. A third positioning member 1962 is provided within the slide rail 196, and at least a portion of the third positioning member 1962 is slidable within the third positioning hole 1963 to retract and protrude from the third positioning hole 1963. When the third connecting seat 194 slides to the second sliding position, at least a portion of the third positioning member 1962 protrudes from the third positioning hole 1963 and enters the second through hole 1942 to lock the third connecting seat 194 in the second sliding position. This prevents the third connecting seat 194 from undesirably sliding toward the first sliding position, which helps to maintain the pull rod 19 in the retracted position. For example, when the pull rod 19 is in the retracted position, even if the trolley is supported on an inclined surface or an external force suddenly impacts the rear of the trolley, the third connecting seat 194 can be locked in the second sliding position, reducing the risk of the pull rod 19 accidentally extending. Optionally, the third positioning element 1962 is a spring sheet having a second protrusion 19621 that is slidable within the third positioning hole 1963.
[0181] refer to Figure 20 , Figure 21 and Figure 22 In one embodiment, the lever mechanism 2 further includes a fixing portion 198, to which a slide rail 196 is connected. When the rotating portion 192 pivots from a second pivot position to a first pivot position, the lever 19 abuts against the front surface of the fixing portion 198 to limit further pivoting of the rotating portion 192. In this embodiment, the lever mechanism 2 includes a front lever 1031 and a rear lever 1032, which are connected to the base frame 10. Optionally, as... Figure 20As shown, the base frame 10 includes two first rods 100 extending along the length direction L of the trolley and two second rods 103 extending along the width direction W of the trolley. The front rod 1031 and the rear rod 1032 are the two second rods 103 of the base frame 10. The front rod 1031 and the rear rod 1032 are each fixed to a fixing part 198, and the two ends of the slide rail 196 are respectively connected to the two fixing parts 198. When the rotating part 192 pivots from the second pivot position to the first pivot position, the pull rod 19 abuts against the front surface of the fixing part 198 of the front rod 1031 to limit the rotating part 192 from continuing to pivot. For ease of description, this application uses terms indicating relative positions, such as "upper," "lower," "front," and "rear." These terms indicating relative positions are used to indicate relative positions. Figure 15 The directions shown are for reference. Specifically, in Figure 15 In the middle, "up" is relative to the top, "down" is relative to the bottom, "front" is relative to the left, and "back" is relative to the right.
[0182] refer to Figure 19 and Figure 22 In one embodiment, the lever mechanism 2 further includes at least one storage member 197, which is disposed on the front rod 1031 and has a storage groove 1970. When the lever 19 slides to the storage position, at least a portion of the lever 19 is stored in the storage groove 1970. In this embodiment, the storage member 197 is hook-shaped, but this is only exemplary. In other embodiments, the storage member 197 can also be set to other suitable shapes, and this application does not limit this. Optionally, when the lever 19 slides to the storage position, the handle 190 of the lever 19 is stored in the storage groove 1970. Optionally, the lever mechanism 2 includes two storage members 197, which are spaced apart by a fixing portion 198 disposed on the front rod 1031, and the openings of the storage grooves 1970 of the two storage members 197 are arranged opposite to each other. When the lever 19 slides to the storage position, at least a portion of the lever 19, such as the handle 190, is stored in the two storage slots 1970.
[0183] Refer again Figure 17 In one embodiment, there is a certain angle α between the extension direction D2 of the slide rail 196 and the plane D1 where the supporting surface is located, and when the pull rod 19 is in the reclining state, the extension direction of the pull rod 19 is approximately parallel to the extension direction D2 of the slide rail 196. With this design, on the one hand, when the pull rod 19 is in the reclining state, there is a certain distance between the handle 190 and the supporting surface, making it easier for the user to grip the handle 190 again; on the other hand, the angle α makes the pulling and pushing actions of the pull rod 19 more ergonomic, making the operation of pulling and pushing the pull rod 19 more comfortable for the user.
[0184] The following is based on Figures 15 to 24The working principle of the lever mechanism 2 according to the embodiments of this application is explained using the illustrated example.
[0185] like Figure 22 As shown, the pull rod 19 is in the stowed position, stored below the base frame 10 of the trolley. At this time, the second protrusion 19621 passes through the third positioning hole 1963 and enters the second through hole 1942 for reference. Figure 24 The third connecting seat 194 is held in the second sliding position, that is, the pull rod 19 is held in the retracted position. Unless pulled out by an external force, the pull rod 19 will not disengage from the retracted position. In this state, the pull rod 19 has very little impact on the overall size of the trolley and does not affect the folding and closing operation of the trolley.
[0186] When the user needs to pull the trolley using the lever 19, the user holds the handle 190 of the lever 19 and applies a pulling force towards the front of the trolley. When the pulling force is sufficient to overcome the elasticity of the spring, the second protrusion 19621 disengages from the second through hole 1942, thereby releasing the retention of the third connecting seat 194. Continuing to apply the pulling force, the lever 19 is pulled from the retracted position to the extended position, as shown below. Figure 17 As shown. Because there is an angle α between the slide rail 196 and the supporting surface, the above-mentioned pull-out operation conforms to ergonomic standards, and therefore, the above-mentioned pull-out operation is relatively comfortable for the user.
[0187] When the pull rod 19 reaches the extended position, the first protrusion 19601 passes through the second positioning hole 1961 and enters the second through hole 1942 for reference. Figure 23 The third connecting seat 194 is held in the first sliding position, that is, the pull rod 19 is held in the extended position, and the pull rod 19 will not disengage from the extended position without external force. At this time, the user continues to apply pulling force to the pull rod 19 to pull the trolley. During this process, based on the user's height and arm length, the rotating part 192 and the pull rod 19 will pivot to a position suitable for the user's use (e.g., the pull rod 19 is in...). Figure 16 (Position in the middle).
[0188] If the user stops pulling and releases their grip on the lever 19 while pulling the cart, the lever 19 will remain in the position it was in when the user released it, thanks to the action of the first positioning element 193 (e.g., a damping plate). The lever 19 will not pivot towards the support surface due to its own weight. The user can then grip the lever 19 again from the position it was in when it was released to continue pulling the cart.
[0189] If it is necessary to pivot lever 19 to the upright position (e.g.) Figure 15As shown, simply apply a pushing force to the lever 19 to pivot it to the upright position. At this point, the lever 19 cannot continue to pivot because it is pressed against the front surface of the fixing part 198 of the front lever 1031. This not only avoids the lever 19 pivoting excessively towards the stroller and interfering with other parts of the stroller, but also prevents the lever 19 from crushing items stored in the stroller, and further prevents the lever 19 from accidentally injuring a child in a bassinet installed on the stroller.
[0190] After use, the user can pivot the lever 19 to the reclining position and push it towards the rear of the trolley. When the applied force is sufficient to overcome the spring force of the spring clip, the first protrusion 19601 disengages from the second through hole 1942, thereby releasing the retaining force on the third connecting seat 194. Continue applying force to push the lever 19 from the extended position to the retracted position, as shown below. Figure 22 As shown. At this time, the second protrusion 19621 passes through the third positioning hole 1963 and enters the second through hole 1942 (see reference). Figure 24 The third connecting seat 194 is held in the second sliding position, that is, the lever 19 is held in the retracted position, and the lever 19 will not disengage from the retracted position without external force. As the lever 19 enters the retracted position, the handle 190 enters the storage slot 1970.
[0191] Figures 25 to 29 Other embodiments according to this application are shown, which are structurally similar to the lever mechanism 2 in the foregoing embodiments. The following description focuses only on the differences between the two.
[0192] refer to Figure 25 and Figure 26 In one embodiment, the lever mechanism 2 includes a storage member 197 disposed on the lower side of the fixing portion 198 fixed to the front lever 1031, with the opening of the storage groove 1970 of the storage member 197 facing the front of the fixing portion 198. Optionally, the storage member 197 is integrally formed with the fixing portion 198. When the lever 19 slides to the storage position, at least a portion of the lever 19, such as the handle 190, enters and is stored in the storage groove 1970. In this embodiment, the opening of the storage groove 1970 faces forward, making it easier for the user to remove and place the handle 190 into the storage groove 1970. In this embodiment, a portion of the handle 190 is received in the storage groove 1970, allowing the user to grasp the front end of the handle 190 and pull the lever 190 to the extended position.
[0193] refer to Figure 28 and Figure 29In one embodiment, one end of the third connecting seat 194 is recessed inward to form a pivot space 1944, in which at least a portion of the rotating portion 192 is received. The inner surface of at least one sidewall of the pivot space faces at least one surface of the rotating portion. One of the opposing surfaces of the rotating portion 192 and the sidewall of the pivot space is provided with at least one resilient finger 199. The other of the opposing surfaces of the rotating portion 192 and the sidewall of the pivot space is provided with a plurality of positioning recesses 1932. A positioning protrusion 1945 is provided on the side of the resilient finger 199 facing the positioning recess 1932, and the positioning protrusion 1945 can engage with one of the positioning recesses 1932 to position the pull rod 19 at one of a plurality of pivot angles.
[0194] Continue to refer to Figure 28 and Figure 29 In one embodiment, the first positioning member 193 includes a positioning recess 1932 and a positioning protrusion 1945 that fit each other in shape. To clearly illustrate the structure of the positioning recess 1932 and the positioning protrusion 1945, Figure 29 Part of the inner wall structure of the pivot space 1944 was removed. Figure 29 In the illustrated embodiment, at least one positioning recess 1932 is disposed in the end face of the main body 1921 of the rotating part 192, and at least one positioning protrusion 1945 is disposed on the inner wall (inner surface of the side wall of the pivoting space) of the pivoting space 1944. As the rotating part 192 pivots, when the positioning protrusion 1945 enters the positioning recess 1932, the positioning protrusion 1945 is confined in the positioning recess 1932 by the shape fit of the two, thereby limiting further pivoting of the rotating part 192 and holding the pull rod 19 in the corresponding working position. Optionally, the positioning recess 1932 and the positioning protrusion 1945 may also be disposed in opposite positions, that is, at least one positioning recess 1932 is disposed on the inner wall of the pivoting space 1944, and at least one positioning protrusion 1945 is disposed in the end face of the main body 1921 of the rotating part 192. Optionally, more than one positioning recess 1932 is provided to hold the pull rod 19 in more than one working position. Preferably, two sets of positioning recesses 1932 are provided, each set of positioning recesses 1932 includes more than one positioning recess 1932, and two positioning protrusions 1945 are provided, each of the two positioning protrusions 1945 cooperating with one set of positioning recesses 1932. More preferably, each set of positioning recesses 1932 includes four positioning recesses 1932, so as to hold the pull rod 19 in four different working positions, such as... Figure 29As shown. In other embodiments, the number of positioning protrusions 1945 on each inner wall of the pivot space 1944 is not limited to two; for example, the number of positioning protrusions 1945 on each inner wall of the pivot space 1944 may be one, three, or four, etc. Furthermore, the number of positioning recesses 1932 included in each group of positioning recesses 1932 is not limited to four; it can be any number of two or more, and can be set according to the required adjustment position, such as three or five, etc.
[0195] for Figures 25 to 29 The illustrated embodiment operates on the same principle as the aforementioned embodiment, with the difference being that, during the pulling of the cart, if the user stops pulling and releases their grip on the lever 19, and if the positioning protrusion 1945 of the first positioning member 193 is located in the positioning recess 1932, the lever 19 will remain in the position it was in when the user released it. If the positioning protrusion 1945 of the first positioning member 193 is not engaged in the positioning recess 1932, the lever 19 will pivot slightly towards the support surface due to its own weight until the positioning protrusion 1945 enters and engages in the positioning recess 1932, and the lever 19 will remain in the position it was in when the positioning protrusion 1945 entered and engaged in the positioning recess 1932. In this embodiment, the lever 19 can still remain in the use position or near the use position, avoiding the risk of the lever 19 pivoting to the support surface due to its own weight and injuring the user.
[0196] refer to Figures 30 to 33 This application provides a seat fixing mechanism 132, including a fixed seat 133 and a locking seat 134. The locking seat 134 is slidably connected to the fixed seat 133 and is movable, for example, sliding, between a folded position and an unfolded position. The locking seat 134 is further away from the fixed seat 133 in the unfolded position than in the folded position. In this embodiment, the locking seat 134 is also pivotable relative to the fixed seat 133, and when the locking seat 134 moves between the unfolded and folded positions, the locking seat 134 deflects at an angle relative to the fixed seat 133. Of course, the pivotability of the locking seat 134 relative to the fixed seat 133 is only one optional implementation of this application. In other embodiments, the locking seat 134 may also be non-pivotable relative to the fixed seat 133, and the locking seat 134 may only perform translational movement between the unfolded and folded positions.
[0197] Specifically, in this embodiment, the trolley includes a support frame 13, and a seat fixing mechanism 132 is connected to each of the two side rods (i.e., rods extending approximately along the length direction L) of the support frame 13. Figure 30As shown. For ease of description, only one seat fixing mechanism 132 will be described in the following description. Those skilled in the art should understand that the seat fixing mechanisms 132 provided on both side rods have the same structure and pivot simultaneously between the folded and unfolded positions. It should be noted that in actual use, the engaging seats 134 of the seat fixing mechanisms 132 provided on both side rods pivot simultaneously between the folded and unfolded positions. This is intended to facilitate the folding and unfolding operation of the trolley and for connecting the seat 135. (Refer to...) Figure 36 and Figure 37 This is required for actual use cases, but it does not mean that the two card slots 134 cannot pivot independently.
[0198] Continue to refer to Figures 30 to 33 In one embodiment, the latching seat 134 includes an engagement portion 1346 and a base portion 1349. The engagement portion 1346 is configured to insert into an engagement groove (not shown) of the seat 135, and the base portion 1349 is connected to the engagement portion 1346 and pivotally connected to the retaining seat 133. Optionally, the engagement portion 1346 and the base portion 1349 are integrally formed. Optionally, refer to Figure 33 There is an arc-shaped transition area between the joint 1346 and the base 1349, and the width of the joint 1346 is smaller than the width of the base 1349 to accommodate the shape of the side wall of the seat 135. It should be noted that the joint 1346 also... Figure 30 The width direction W of the trolley Figure 33 The width direction of the joint 1346 is the left-right direction of the paper.
[0199] refer to Figures 32 to 35 In one embodiment, when the locking seat 134 is in the retracted position, the distance between the joint portions 1346 of the two locking seats 134 is L1, and the distance between the base portions 1349 of the two locking seats 134 is L2. (Refer to...) Figure 34 Optionally, L1 can range from 323.46mm to 395.34mm, for example, L1 is approximately 359.4mm; L2 can range from 293.4mm to 358.6mm, for example, L2 is approximately 326mm. Those skilled in the art will understand that the distance between the two side rods of the support frame 13 can be changed according to actual needs to alter the size of L1 and L2. When the locking seats 134 are in the unfolded position, the distance between the joint portions 1346 of the two locking seats 134 is L1', and the distance between the base portions 1349 of the two locking seats 134 is L2', as shown in the reference. Figure 35Optionally, L1' can range from 301.86mm ≤ L1' ≤ 368.94mm, with L1' being approximately 335.4mm for example; and L2' being approximately 302mm for example. Those skilled in the art will understand that in practical use, the appropriate size of L1' can be selected based on the distance between the two engagement slots of the seat 135 to be secured. Pivoting from the unfolded position to the folded position increases the distance between the two engagement seats 134 by ΔL (i.e., L1-L1') or ΔL (i.e., L2-L2'), for example, ΔL is approximately 24mm, as compared to a reference. Figure 32 and Figure 33 The two latching seats 134 in the folded position have a larger gap, which reduces the encroachment of the seat fixing mechanism 132 on the space between the two side bars of the support frame 13. This helps to reduce the interference of the latching seats 134 with other parts of the stroller when it is folded up. On the other hand, the seat 135 can be used without the need for the seat 135. The increased gap between the two latching seats 134 in the folded position also helps to reduce the interference of the latching seats 134 with the user's work. For example, it reduces the interference and obstruction of the latching seats 134 with the activities of children sitting in the compartment formed by the support frame 13 and the cover, or it reduces the interference and obstruction of the latching seats 134 with the user's loading and unloading of items.
[0200] Figure 36 and Figure 37 A stroller with seat 135 fixed to it is shown. Optionally, seat 135 can be a bassinet suitable for younger infants or a seat that can be attached to a baby stroller. Optionally, seat 135 can be replaced with other accessories such as a carrying basket. When installing seat 135, any accessories already installed on the stroller that may interfere with seat 135 should be removed first, such as tray assembly 130, etc.
[0201] refer to Figures 38 to 41 In one embodiment, the upper end of the joint 1346 is provided with a first locking hole 1347 and / or the lower end of the base 1349 is provided with a second locking hole 1348. The first locking hole 1347 is used to engage with the rod in the engagement groove of the seat 135 to stably fix the seat 135 installed on the trolley and prevent it from shaking. Of course, in other embodiments, the upper end of the joint 1346 may not be provided with the first locking hole 1347, and the engagement groove of the seat 135 may not be provided with the rod. The second locking hole 1348 is used to engage with the engaging protrusion of the seat 135 to make the fixation of the seat 135 more secure.
[0202] Continue to refer to Figures 38 to 41In one embodiment, the fixing seat 133 is provided with a connecting end 1333, and the engaging seat 134 is provided with a third connecting groove 1342. The connecting end 1333 is inserted into the third connecting groove 1342 to pivotally connect the fixing seat 133 and the engaging seat 134. The end of the connecting end 1333 facing the engaging seat 134 has two opposing first protrusions 13331 and two opposing first recesses 13332. The two first protrusions 13331 are spaced apart by the two first recesses 13332, and a first inclined surface 13333 is provided between adjacent first protrusions 13331 and first recesses 13332. The bottom wall of the third connecting groove 1342 has two opposing second protrusions 13421 and two opposing second recesses 13422. The two second protrusions 13421 are spaced apart by the two second recesses 13422, and a second inclined surface 13423 is provided between adjacent second protrusions 13421 and second recesses 13422. When the locking seat 134 is in the retracted position, the two second protrusions 13421 respectively engage with the two first recesses 13331, and the two first protrusions 13331 respectively engage with the two second recesses 13422. When the locking seat 134 pivots from the retracted position to the unfolded position, the first protrusions 13331 disengage from the second recesses 13422, and through the abutting engagement of the second inclined surface 13423 and the first inclined surface 13333, the first protrusions 13331 slide to the position abutting with the second protrusions 13421, and the locking seat 134 slides away from the fixed seat 133.
[0203] refer to Figure 40 and Figure 41 In one embodiment, the fixing seat 133 is provided with a mounting groove 1334. The mounting groove 1334 accommodates the side rod of the support frame 13. The mounting groove 1334 is fixed to the corresponding side rod by fasteners, such as rivets, screws, bolts, and nuts, thereby connecting the fixing seat 133 and the side rod. In one embodiment, the engaging seat 134 is provided with a mounting through hole 1340. An end cap 1335 and a first elastic member 1331 are provided in the mounting through hole 1340. The end cap 1335 is connected to the fixing seat 133. One end of the first elastic member 1331 abuts against the end wall of the mounting through hole 1340, and the other end of the first elastic member 1331 abuts against the end cap 1335. The first elastic member 1331 continuously applies pressure to the engaging seat 134, causing the engaging seat 134 to have a tendency to slide towards the fixing seat 133. Optionally, the first elastic member 1331 can be a spring, a sheet spring, a torsion spring, etc., as long as it can continuously apply pressure to the engaging seat 134.
[0204] refer to Figures 40 to 41The cavity of the connecting end 1333 of the fixed seat 133 has a first connecting shaft 13334. The third connecting groove 1342 of the locking seat 134 is also provided with a protrusion 13424. Two opposing second protrusions 13421 and two opposing second recesses 13422 are located around the protrusion 13424. The protrusion 13424 has a mating hole 13425. The first connecting shaft 13334 is inserted into the mating hole 13425. The locking seat 134 can pivot relative to the fixed seat 133 about the axial direction of the mating hole 13425. One of the outer edge of the first connecting shaft 13334 and the inner edge of the mating hole 13425 is provided with a limiting rib 13335, and the other of the outer edge of the first connecting shaft 13334 and the inner edge of the mating hole 13425 is provided with a limiting groove 13426. The limiting groove 13426 cooperates with the limiting rib 13335 to limit the rotation range of the locking seat 134 relative to the fixed seat 133 and prevent the locking seat 134 from rotating excessively.
[0205] exist Figure 40 and Figure 41 In the embodiment shown, the limiting rib 13335 is disposed on the first connecting shaft 13334, and the limiting groove 13426 is disposed in the mating hole 13425. The included angle between the two circumferential ends of the limiting groove 13426 is approximately 90°, thereby allowing the locking seat 134 to rotate approximately 90° through the engagement of the limiting groove 13426 and the limiting rib 13335, so as to rotate between the unfolded position and the retracted position. Specifically, when the locking seat 134 is in (e.g.) Figure 30 When in the retracted position (as shown), the limiting rib 13335 abuts against one end of the limiting groove 13426, thereby restricting the engaging seat 134 from rotating counterclockwise (see reference). Figure 30 The card holder 134 can only rotate clockwise (refer to direction D3) when rotating in the direction of D3 (see reference). Figure 30 (D4) Rotate; rotate the locking seat 134 approximately 90° clockwise until the locking seat 134 reaches the desired position. Figure 41 In the unfolded position shown, the limiting rib 13335 abuts against the other end of the limiting groove 13426, thereby restricting the engaging seat 134 from continuing to rotate clockwise (see reference). Figure 31 Rotation in the direction of D4) means that the card holder 134 can only rotate counterclockwise (see reference). Figure 31 The direction D3) rotates back to the retracted position. Those skilled in the art will understand that the approximately 90° rotation range in this embodiment is merely exemplary, and they can set other suitable rotation ranges as needed. For example, the included angle between the two circumferential ends of the limiting groove 13426 can be set to approximately 180°, thereby allowing the locking seat 134 to reach... Figure 41 When in the unfolded position shown, the locking seat 134 rotates clockwise (reference). Figure 31Rotate approximately 90° again in the direction of D4 to move from the unfolded position to another folded position.
[0206] Continue to refer to Figure 40 and Figure 41 In one embodiment, the end cap 1335 has a second connecting shaft 13351 extending toward the mounting base 133, which can be connected to the mounting base 133 by fasteners (not shown) such as rivets passing through the first connecting shaft 13334 and the second connecting shaft 13351.
[0207] refer to Figure 41 The connecting end 1333 is provided with a locking hole 1332. The locking seat 134 includes a mounting cavity 1343 and a release operation member 1341, which is slidably disposed in the mounting cavity 1343. The release operation member 1341 includes a locking part 13411 and a pressing part 13413. When the locking seat 134 pivots to the unfolded position, the locking part 13411 enters the locking hole 1332 to lock the locking seat 134 in the unfolded position. The pressing part 13413 is connected to the locking part 13411. By applying pressure to the pressing part 13413, the release operation member 1341 slides away from the locking hole 1332, causing the locking part 13411 to disengage from the locking hole 1332, thereby releasing the lock on the locking seat 134. Optionally, the mounting cavity 1343 is provided with a sliding groove 13431. The release operation member 1341 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 13431 via a pin 13412, thereby allowing the release operation member 1341 to slide along the length of the sliding groove 13431, so that the locking part 13411 enters or exits the lock hole 1332. Optionally, the locking seat 134 includes a second elastic member 13414. One end of the second elastic member 13414 is fixed in the mounting cavity 1343, and the other end of the second elastic member 13414 abuts against the release operation member 1341. The second elastic member 13414 continuously applies pressure to the release operation member 1341, causing the release operation member 1341 to have a tendency to slide towards the third connecting groove 1342. Optionally, the second elastic member can be a spring, a sheet spring, a torsion spring, etc., as long as it can continuously apply pressure to the release operation member 1341. Optionally, the latching seat 134 includes a housing 1344 and a cover plate 1345. The cover plate 1345 is detachably connected to the housing 134 to form an installation space within the latching seat 134, in which an installation cavity 1343 is disposed.
[0208] refer to Figures 42 to 45In one embodiment, the seat securing mechanism 132 includes a securing base 233 and a locking base 234. The locking base 234 is pivotally connected to the securing base 233 and is pivotable between a folded position and an unfolded position. Specifically, the trolley includes a support frame 13, on which a seat securing mechanism 132 is connected to each of two side rods (i.e., rods extending generally along the length direction L) of the support frame 13. Figure 42 As shown. For ease of description, only one seat fixing mechanism 132 will be described in the following description. Those skilled in the art should understand that the seat fixing mechanisms 132 provided on both side rods have the same structure and pivot simultaneously between the folded and unfolded positions. It should be noted that in actual use, the engaging seats 234 of the seat fixing mechanisms 132 provided on both side rods pivot simultaneously between the folded and unfolded positions. This is intended to facilitate the folding and unfolding operation of the trolley and for connecting the seat 135. (Refer to...) Figure 43 and Figure 45 This is required for actual use cases, but it does not mean that the two card slots 234 cannot pivot independently.
[0209] Continue to refer to Figures 42 to 45 In one embodiment, the latching seat 234 includes an engagement portion 2346 and a base portion 2349. The engagement portion 2346 is configured to insert into an engagement groove (not shown) in the seat 135, and the base portion 2349 is connected to the engagement portion 2346 and pivotally connected to the retaining seat 233. Optionally, the engagement portion 2346 and the base portion 2349 are integrally formed. Optionally, refer to Figure 43 There is an arc-shaped transition area between the joint 2346 and the base 2349, and the width of the joint 2346 is smaller than the width of the base 2349 to adapt to the shape of the side wall of the seat 135.
[0210] refer to Figures 46 to 47 In one embodiment, when the locking seat 234 is in the retracted position, the distance between the joint portion 2346 of the two locking seats 234 is L1, and the distance between the base portion 2349 of the two locking seats 234 is L2. (Refer to...) Figure 46 Optionally, the range of L1 is approximately 359.46mm ≤ L1 ≤ 439.34mm, for example, L1 is approximately 399.4mm; the range of L2 is approximately 329.4mm ≤ L2 ≤ 402.6mm, for example, L2 is approximately 366mm. It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the locking seat 234 is in the retracted position, the joint portion 2346 of the two locking seats 234 is located below the two side rods of the support frame 13 and is at least partially blocked by the two side rods. Figure 46The distance between the two joints 2346 marked in the figure is similar to the distance between the two side rods of the support frame 13. Those skilled in the art will understand that the distance between the two side rods of the support frame 13 can be changed according to actual needs to alter the size of L1. When the locking seat 234 is in the unfolded position, the distance between the joints 1346 of the two locking seats 234 is L1', and the distance between the bases 1349 of the two locking seats 134 is L2'. (Refer to...) Figure 47 Optionally, 301.86mm ≤ L1' ≤ 368.94mm, where L1' is approximately 335.4mm and L2' is approximately 302mm. Those skilled in the art will understand that in practical use, the appropriate size of L1' can be selected based on the distance between the two engagement slots of the seat 135 to be secured. Pivoting from the unfolded position to the folded position increases the distance between the two engagement seats 234 by ΔL (i.e., L1-L1') or ΔL (i.e., L2-L2'), for example, ΔL is approximately 44mm, as compared to a reference. Figure 46 and Figure 47 The latching seat 234, in its retracted position, is lower than the upper surface of the fixed seat 233 in the height direction H, that is, it is located below the corresponding side rod of the support frame 13, as shown in the reference section. Figure 48 .and Figures 30 to 41 Compared to the illustrated embodiment, the two latching seats 234 in this embodiment have a larger gap L1 when folded, thus encroaching less on the space between the two side bars of the support frame 13. This helps to reduce interference of the latching seats 234 with other parts of the stroller when it is folded, and also eliminates the need for a seat during stroller use. The increased gap between the two latching seats 134 in the folded position helps to reduce interference with the user's work, such as reducing interference with and obstruction of children sitting in the compartment formed by the support frame 13 and the cover, or reducing interference with and obstruction of the user's access to the support frame for placing and retrieving items. The seat 135 according to this embodiment and the seat 135 according to the embodiment of... Figures 30 to 41 The seat 135 shown in the embodiment is the same.
[0211] refer to Figure 45 In one embodiment, the upper end of the joint 2346 is provided with a first locking hole 2347 and / or the lower end of the base 2349 is provided with a second locking hole 2348. The first locking hole 2347 is used to engage with the rod in the engagement groove of the seat 135 to stably fix the seat 135 on the trolley and prevent it from shaking. The second locking hole 2348 is used to engage with the engaging protrusion of the seat 135 to make the seat 135 more securely fixed.
[0212] refer to Figure 49In one embodiment, the fixed base 233 is provided with a pivot shaft 235, and the engaging base 234 is provided with a mounting hole 2343. The mounting hole 2343 is fitted onto the pivot shaft 235, and the engaging base 234 can pivot around the pivot shaft 235 and slide along the axial direction of the pivot shaft 235. Optionally, the positions of the pivot shaft 235 and the mounting hole 2343 can be interchanged, that is, the fixed base 233 is provided with the mounting hole 2343, and the engaging base 234 is provided with the pivot shaft 235. When the engaging base 234 is pivoted to the closed position, in the height direction H, the engaging base 234 does not protrude from the upper surface of the fixed base 233. Optionally, refer to Figure 48When the engaging seat 234 pivots to the retracted position, in the height direction H, the engaging seat 234 is lower than the upper surface of the fixed seat 233. Optionally, the fixed seat 233 is further provided with a limiting portion 2333, and the engaging seat 234 is further provided with a limiting hole 2344. When the engaging seat 234 pivots to the retracted position, the limiting portion 2333 engages in the limiting hole 2344. Optionally, the positions of the limiting portion 2333 and the limiting hole 2344 can be interchanged, that is, the fixed seat 233 is further provided with a limiting hole 2344, and the engaging seat 234 is provided with a limiting portion 2333. Optionally, the limiting portion 2333 includes a plurality of finger-shaped elastic elements 23331, which are spaced apart from each other. The end of each elastic element 23331 away from the fixed seat 233 is protruding and provided with a guide slope 23332. When the elastic element 23331 is inserted into the limiting hole 2344, the inner wall of the limiting hole 2344 compresses the guiding inclined surface 23332, causing the elastic element 23331 to deform toward the space between the elastic elements 23331. After the elastic element 23331 is inserted into the limiting hole 2344, due to the elastic restoring force of the elastic element 23331, the elastic element 23331 presses against the inner wall of the limiting hole 2344, and the protruding end passes through the limiting hole 2344 and stops against the peripheral wall of the limiting hole 2344, thereby preventing the elastic element 23331 from coming out of the limiting hole 2344. In actual use, the user applies a certain pulling force to the locking seat 234 to overcome the movement restriction between the protruding end and the limiting hole, causing the locking seat 234 to slide away from the fixed seat 233. Optionally, the fixing base 233 is provided with an arc-shaped connecting body 2330, and the engaging base 234 is provided with a groove 2340, the shape of which matches the shape of the connecting body 2330. Specifically, the connecting body 2330 is configured to protrude from the side of the fixing base 233 toward the engaging base 234, and the groove 2340 is configured to protrude from the side of the engaging base 234 toward the fixing base 233. When the engaging base 234 is in the closed position, the connecting body 2330 and the groove 2340 are misaligned with each other. When the locking seat 234 needs to be pivoted to the unfolded position, the user applies a pulling force to the locking seat 234, causing the elastic element 23331 to disengage from the limiting hole 2344. The locking seat 234 slides away from the fixed seat 233, and one end of the connecting body 2330 aligns with one end of the groove 2340. The user then rotates the locking seat 234, causing the connecting body 2330 to gradually enter the groove 2340. When the locking seat 234 is rotated to the unfolded position, the connecting body 2330 is fully engaged in the groove 2340. Optionally, the positions of the connecting body 2330 and the groove 2340 can be interchanged; that is, the fixed seat 233 also has a groove 2340, and the locking seat 234 has a connecting body 2330. Optionally, the connecting body 2330 has a first connecting groove 2331 and a first connecting edge 2332, and the groove 2340 has a second connecting groove 2341 and a second connecting edge 2342.When the locking seat 234 pivots to the unfolded position, the second connecting groove 2341 accommodates the first connecting edge 2332, and the second connecting edge 2342 enters the first connecting groove 2331. Optionally, the first connecting groove 2331 can be a dovetail groove or a cuboid-shaped recess. Optionally, one of the connecting body 2330 and the groove 2340 is provided with a limiting recess 2334, and the other of the connecting body 2330 and the groove 2340 is provided with a limiting member 2345. When the locking seat 234 pivots to the unfolded position, the limiting member 2345 engages in the limiting recess 2334 to lock the locking seat 234 in the unfolded position. In this embodiment, a third elastic member (not shown) can also be provided between the fixed seat 233 and the locking seat 234. The third elastic member abuts against the locking seat 234 and continuously applies pressure to the locking seat 234, causing the locking seat 234 to have a tendency to slide towards the fixed seat 233. In other embodiments, the third elastic element may not be provided, and the locking seat 234 may be moved toward the fixed seat 233 along the pivot axis 235 by the user's pushing operation.
[0213] The following will describe them separately. Figures 30 to 41 The illustrated embodiments and Figures 42 to 49 The working principle of the illustrated embodiment.
[0214] for Figures 30 to 41 In the illustrated embodiment, when the seat 135 is not installed, the engaging seat 134 of the seat fixing mechanism 132 is in the following position: Figure 30 In the folded position shown, the seat fixing mechanisms 132 on both sides of the trolley have a large gap L1 (or L2). When it is necessary to install the seat 135, if necessary, accessories that interfere with the seat 135 need to be removed, such as the tray assembly 130; if the tray assembly 130 does not interfere with the assembly of the seat 135, it is not necessary to remove the tray assembly 130. When the user pivots the locking seat 134 from the folded position to the unfolded position, during the pivoting process, due to the engagement of the connecting end 1333 and the third connecting groove 1342, the locking seat 134 also slides away from the fixing seat 133, that is, the locking seats 134 on both sides of the trolley will slide towards each other. As a result, the gap between the seat fixing mechanisms 132 on both sides of the trolley will be reduced to L1' (or L2') to match the gap between the two engagement grooves of the seat 135. When the locking seat 134 pivots to the unfolded position, under the action of the second elastic member 13414, the locking part 13411 enters the locking hole 1332, locking the locking seat 134 in the unfolded position. At this time, the engaging part 1346 is inserted into the engaging groove of the seat 135, and the rear of the backrest of the seat 135 can be further engaged onto the support frame 13 (e.g., Figure 37As shown, the seat 135 is also engaged with the front rod of the support frame 13, completing the fixed installation of the seat 135. When the seat 135 is not in use, the engaging part 1346 is pulled out of the engaging groove of the seat 135, the seat 135 is disengaged from the front rod of the support frame 13, and the seat 135 is removed. The user presses the pressing part 13413 of the release operation member 1341, causing the locking part 13411 to disengage from the locking hole 1332, and then pivots the locking seat 134 toward the closed position. Under the action of the first elastic member 1331, the locking seat 134 slides toward the fixed seat 133. When the locking seat 134 pivots to the closed position, the seat fixing mechanisms 132 on both sides of the trolley increase to L1 (or L2) again.
[0215] for Figures 42 to 49 In the illustrated embodiment, when the seat 135 is not installed, the engaging seat 234 of the seat fixing mechanism 132 is in the following position: Figure 46 In the folded position shown, the locking seat 234 is lower than the upper surface of the fixing seat 233 in the height direction H, and the seat fixing mechanisms 132 on both sides of the trolley have a large gap L1 (or L2). When it is necessary to install the seat 135, accessories that interfere with the seat 135 need to be removed, such as the tray assembly 130. Then, the user pivots the locking seat 234 from the folded position to the unfolded position. Specifically, the user first pulls the locking seat 234 away from the fixing seat 233, so that the limiting part 2333 disengages from the limiting hole 2344. As a result, the gap between the seat fixing mechanisms 132 on both sides of the trolley is reduced to L1' (or L2') to match the gap between the two engagement slots of the seat 135. Then, the user pivots the locking seat 234 towards the unfolded position. During pivoting, the second connecting groove 2341 accommodates the first connecting edge 2332, and the second connecting edge 2342 enters the first connecting groove 2331, thereby allowing the arc-shaped connecting body 2330 to gradually enter and engage within the groove 2340. When the locking seat 234 pivots to the unfolded position, the limiting member 2345 engages in the limiting recess 2334, locking the locking seat 234 in the unfolded position. At this time, the connecting part 2346 is inserted into the engaging groove of the seat 135, and the backrest of the seat 135 can be further engaged onto the support frame 13, completing the fixed installation of the seat 135. When the seat 135 is no longer needed, the connecting part 2346 is pulled out of the engaging groove of the seat 135, and the seat 135 is removed. When the user pivots the locking seat 234 toward the folded position, under the action of the third elastic member or the user's pushing operation, the locking seat 234 slides toward the fixed seat 233. When the card holder 234 pivots to the closed position, the seat fixing mechanisms 132 on both sides of the trolley increase to L1 (or L2) again.
[0216] refer to Figure 50 and Figure 51One embodiment of this application provides a storage assembly 3. This storage assembly 3 is disposed, for example, on a trolley handlebar 14. Specifically, the storage assembly 3 includes a mounting bracket 30 and a container 31. In this embodiment, the trolley handlebar 144 includes a push handle 142 and an extension rod 145, wherein the push handle 142 is generally U-shaped, and the extension rod 145 is a straight tube connected to the end of the push handle 142 via a pivot assembly 4. The push handle 142 and the extension rod 145 can pivot relative to each other via the pivot assembly 4, thereby reducing the volume of the trolley when folded. The pivot assembly 4 includes a first connector 41 and a second connector 42 pivotally connected to each other. The first connector 41 is connected to the push handle 142, and the second connector 42 is connected to the extension rod 145. Optionally, a release button 410 is provided on the first connector 41, for example, a release button 410 is provided on the inner side of the first connector 41, for releasing the lock between the push handle 142 and the extension rod 145, allowing the push handle 142 to pivot relative to the extension rod 145. The locking and unlocking mechanism between the push handle 142 and the extension rod 145 can use any locking and unlocking mechanism known in the art, and this application does not limit it. In this embodiment, the storage assembly 3 is connected to the pivot assembly 4. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second joint 42 of the pivot assembly 4 serves as a mounting bracket 30. Optionally, the mounting bracket 30 can be fixedly installed at other positions on the rider 14 as needed, such as the extension rod 145, the push handle 142, etc., or fixedly installed on other parts of the frame, such as the rear footrest 12, the support frame 13, etc., as long as the storage assembly 3 does not interfere with the folding of the frame. The storage assembly 3 according to this embodiment can be installed on Figures 1 to 49 In any of the embodiments shown.
[0217] exist Figure 50 and Figure 51In the illustrated embodiment, a first protrusion 302 and a second protrusion 303 are sequentially provided on the outer wall 301 of the mounting bracket 30. The first protrusion 302 and the second protrusion 303 form a generally umbrella-shaped structure, wherein the first protrusion 302 is radially recessed relative to the second protrusion 303, thereby forming a first engaging groove 304 between the side of the second protrusion 303 facing the vehicle frame and the outer wall 301 of the mounting bracket 30. The container 31 is provided with an engaging mechanism 32 for detachable connection to the mounting bracket 30. Specifically, the engaging mechanism 32 includes an engaging edge 321 that forms a generally U-shaped second engaging groove 324. Each of the two opposite edges of the generally U-shaped second engaging groove 324 is provided with, for example, a locking protrusion 322, thereby dividing the second engaging groove 324 into a guide portion 3241 and an engaging portion 3242. The distance between the two locking protrusions 322 is slightly smaller than the radial dimension of the first protrusion 302; the shape of the engaging portion 3242 is similar to the outer peripheral shape of the first protrusion 302, and the radial dimension of the engaging portion 3242 is substantially equal to (or slightly larger than) the radial dimension of the first protrusion 302, so that the first protrusion 302 can be accommodated in the engaging portion 3242; the guide portion 3241 has an opening 3243 (i.e., the opening 3243 of the generally U-shaped second engaging groove 324), and the radial dimension of the guide portion 3241 is larger than the radial dimension of the first protrusion 302. Preferably, the radial dimension of the guide portion 3241 is larger than the radial dimension of the first protrusion 302 and smaller than the radial dimension of the second protrusion 303. When installing the container 31, the opening 3243 of the second engaging groove 324 is aligned with the first protrusion 302, so that the first protrusion 302 enters the guide portion 3241. Continue moving the container 31 until the first protrusion 302 contacts the two locking protrusions 322. At this point, because the distance between the two locking protrusions 322 is slightly smaller than the radial dimension of the first protrusion 302, the first protrusion 302 is close to the two locking protrusions 322. The external force applied by the user to drive the container 31 to move causes the first protrusion 302 to press against the two locking protrusions 322, thereby causing the two locking protrusions 322 to deform in a direction away from each other, so that the first protrusion 302 enters the engaging portion 3242 of the second engaging groove 324. When the first protrusion 302 is fully engaged with the engaging portion 3242, the first protrusion 302 is accommodated within the engaging portion 3242, and the first protrusion 302 no longer presses against the two locking protrusions 322. Consequently, the two locking protrusions 322 reset under their own elastic restoring force. At this point, a portion of the engaging edge 321 enters the first engaging groove 304, and the first protrusion 302 is accommodated and locked within the engaging portion 3242. Thus, the container 31 is fixed to the mounting bracket 30, and the storage assembly 3 is installed.
[0218] In one embodiment, optionally, a deformation groove 323 is provided on the portion of the engaging edge 321 near the locking protrusion 322. When the first protrusion 302 presses against the locking protrusion 322, the deformation groove 323 helps the locking protrusion 322 deform in a direction away from the other locking protrusion 322. Optionally, the container 31 can be any type of container, such as a cup holder, a storage basket, etc. Optionally, a support rib 33 is provided on the outer wall of the container 31 near the second engaging groove 324. When the first protrusion 302 is locked in the engaging portion 3242, the support rib 33 abuts against the outer wall of the second protrusion 303 to make the locking more secure.
[0219] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0220] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
