Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cargo transportation, specifically to a wheel and a multi-functional stair-climbing transport vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Stair-climbing carts are used for transporting goods. They can move up and down stairs, making them ideal for moving heavy items in buildings without elevators. Placing goods on the cart facilitates convenient transport. This is especially useful for middle-aged and elderly people who frequently use stair-climbing carts for grocery shopping, grocery shopping, and carrying luggage.
[0003] However, current stair-climbing vehicles on the market have relatively limited functions, lacking safety features, emergency call capabilities, and passenger seating. Furthermore, existing stair-climbing vehicle designs, based on a star-shaped wheel structure, often encounter obstacles during stair climbing due to the axle being lower than the step surface. Current methods compensate for this with electric drive systems, but due to variations in cargo weight, electric power cannot fully adapt to these differences. Therefore, a multi-functional stair-climbing transport vehicle is needed. Utility Model Content

When climbing stairs, the concave surface of the second wheel frame 41 first contacts the corner of the step, and then pulls the frame body 1 to shift the center of gravity of the vehicle, causing the fixed threaded sleeve 422 and the third fastening rod 43 to move along the roller groove 423. When the position is higher than the height of the step surface, the entire stair-climbing wheel 4 can complete the stair-climbing action, reducing the resistance of climbing stairs, improving the overall stability of climbing stairs, and improving the user's comfort.
[0079] Example 2
[0080] An emergency call device 2 is provided below the mobile handle 171 in this embodiment. The emergency call device includes: a call button 21, a speaker 22, a positioning transmitter 23, a Bluetooth module 24, a main control unit 25, a power management module 26, and a data transmission line 27.
[0081] Each module is physically connected via a data transmission line 27 inside the frame body 1. The Bluetooth module 24 and the main control unit 25 are soldered to the same PCB board and fixed inside the axial support plate 16 of the frame body 1.
