[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of an office trolley, including a base plate 1, which is U-shaped and can support and limit the hinge rods 32. The bottom end of the base plate 1 is provided with four sets of universal wheels 2, which are silent wheels to avoid generating excessive noise during movement and thus not disturbing the office environment. The base plate 1 has two sets of wheels. A folding mechanism is provided on the upper part of the base plate 1. The folding mechanism includes a folding component 3 and a support component 4. The folding component 3 includes a fixing plate 31, which is fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the base plate 1. The fixing plate 31 provides an installation base for the hinge rods 32 and hinges 34, ensuring the stability of these components during use. The front and rear inner walls of the fixing plate 31 are rotatably connected to the hinge rods 32. Multiple sets of hinge rods 32 are provided. By changing the position of two adjacent sets of hinge rods 32, the distance between the two sets of base plates 1 can be adjusted, thereby folding the trolley, reducing space occupation, and improving usage efficiency.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3The portion of the hinge rod 32 near the fixed plate 31 is bent, and the bent part of the hinge rod 32 is perpendicular to the fixed plate 31 and contacts the inner side of the base plate 1. When the hinge rod 32 contacts the base plate 1, the hinge rod 32 is at its maximum extended extent and cooperates with the limiting block 36 to limit its movement. The ends of two adjacent sets of hinge rods 32 away from the fixed plate 31 are rotatably connected to a connecting block 33, which is used to connect the two adjacent sets of hinge rods 32 and cooperates with the limiting block 36 to limit the movement of the hinge rods 32. The outer side of the fixed plate 31 is fixed. A hinge 34 is connected to connect the support plate 35 and the fixed plate 31, allowing the support plate 35 to rotate. The upper part of the hinge 34 is fixedly connected to the support plate 35, providing a support plane for placing office items. The lower part of the support plate 35 contacts the upper part of the fixed plate 31. A limit block 36 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the support plate 35, which cooperates with the connecting block 33 to limit and release the hinge rod 32, thereby controlling the folding and unfolding states of the fixed plate 31 and the base plate 1. The limit block 36 slides on the outside of the connecting block 33.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4 The support assembly 4 includes a connector 41, which is fixedly connected to the outer side of the base plate 1 and the fixed plate 31, providing installation positions for components such as the push rod 42, the support member 43, and the threaded rod 44. The push rod 42 is provided on the inner rear wall of the connector 41. The upper part of the push rod 42 is T-shaped. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the support member 43, the push rod 42 can be pushed to assist the movement of the support member 43. The T-shape increases the force application area, making the pushing process more convenient and effortless. The support member 43 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connector 41. The support member 43 contacts the outer side of the support plate 35. The support member 43 is L-shaped. When the trolley is unfolded, the threaded rod 44 is rotated by turning the handle 45, causing the support member 43 to move upward and squeeze and limit the edge of the support plate 35, thereby maintaining the stability of the two sets of support plates 35. After the trolley is folded, the support member 43 can support the support plate 35 after it rotates, preventing the support plate 35 from shifting and rotating outward.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 - Figure 5A threaded rod 44 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connector 41. The threaded rod 44 is threaded through and connected to the inner wall of the support member 43. By rotating the threaded rod 44, the support member 43 can move up and down within the connector 41 using the principle of threaded transmission, thereby precisely adjusting the support position and force of the support member 43 on the support plate 35. A crank handle 45 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the support member 43. By rotating the crank handle 45, the threaded rod 44 can be easily rotated, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering of the support member 43. The upper parts of the hinge rod 32 and the connecting block 33 are flush with the upper part of the fixed plate 31, which can increase the support stability of the support plate 35. The lower part of the limiting block 36 near the connecting block 33 is set as an inclined surface. The inclined surface can squeeze the connecting block 33, making the contact and disengagement between the limiting block 36 and the connecting block 33 smoother. Compared with a right angle, the inclined surface can reduce the friction and jamming between the two, making the folding action easier and faster, and improving the folding efficiency of the trolley.

[0035] Working principle: When the trolley is unfolded from the folded state, the two sets of base plates 1 are first pulled to the sides. At this time, the hinge rod 32 rotates around the fixed plate 31, and the included angle between adjacent hinge rods 32 gradually increases. The connecting block 33 moves accordingly. When the bent part of the hinge rod 32 contacts the inside of the base plate 1, the maximum unfolding degree is reached.

[0036] Next, rotate the support plate 35 so that the limiting block 36 at the bottom of the support plate 35 slides into the outside of the connecting block 33, limiting the connecting block 33 and fixing the position of the hinge rod 32, thus stabilizing the entire trolley structure initially. Then, rotate the crank handle 45 at the bottom of the support member 43. The crank handle 45 drives the threaded rod 44 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 44 is threadedly connected to the support member 43, the support member 43 will move upward along the inner wall of the connecting member 41 until the support member 43 contacts and presses the edge of the support plate 35, further stabilizing the support plate 35 and ensuring that the trolley will not shake when placing office supplies. At this time, the trolley can be used normally, improving the efficiency of use.

[0037] When the trolley needs to be folded, turn the handle 45 in the opposite direction to make the support member 43 move downward under the drive of the threaded rod 44, so as to release the compression limit on the support plate 35. Then rotate the two sets of support plates 35 to let the limiting block 36 at the bottom of the support plate 35 slide out from the outside of the connecting block 33, release the limit on the connecting block 33, and thus release the restriction on the hinge rod 32.

[0038] At this time, the two sets of base plates 1 are pushed closer to each other, the hinge rod 32 rotates around the fixed plate 31, the included angle between adjacent hinge rods 32 becomes smaller, realizing the folding of the trolley, reducing the space occupied when idle. During the folding process, the inclined surface of the lower part of the limit block 36 near the connecting block 33 can make the two separate more smoothly, reduce friction and jamming, and improve folding efficiency. After folding, the support member 43 can support the rotated support plate 35 to prevent it from shifting and rotating outward, and maintain the stability of the folded state.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
