Any mechanisms or methods not elaborated in this utility model can be referred to in the prior art. The specific structures and features of this utility model are illustrated below by way of example and should not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Furthermore, any technical feature mentioned below (including implicit or disclosed features), as well as any technical feature directly shown or implied in the figures, can be arbitrarily combined or deleted among these technical features to form more other embodiments that may not be directly or indirectly mentioned in this utility model. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0032] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the shopping cart for elderly people in this embodiment includes a left frame 10, a right frame 20, a connecting bracket, a shopping basket 40, a seat cushion 50, and a detachable backrest 60. The left frame 10 and the right frame 20 are located on opposite sides of the connecting bracket, the shopping basket 40, the seat cushion 50, and the detachable backrest 60. The left frame 10 and the right frame 20 are connected by the connecting bracket, allowing them to fold together. The connecting bracket supports the shopping basket 40 and the seat cushion 50. The shopping basket 40 is located on either the front or back side of the seat cushion 50. The detachable backrest 60 is detachably connected to the left frame 10 and the right frame 20.

[0033] Specifically, the left frame 10 and right frame 20 are mirror images of each other. The following description uses the left frame 10 as an example to illustrate the frame structure. The left frame 10 includes a main strut 11, a secondary strut 12, a handlebar 14, a front wheel 16, a rear wheel 17, and a brake assembly. The main strut 11 is an arc-shaped metal rod, and the secondary strut 12 is a straight metal rod. The upper end of the secondary strut 12 connects to the middle of the main strut 11, forming a herringbone structure. The lower end of the secondary strut 12 connects to the front wheel 16, the lower end of the main strut 11 connects to the rear wheel 17, and the upper end of the main strut 11 connects to the handlebar 14. The brake assembly includes a brake controller 192, a stopper 196, and a brake cable connecting the brake controller 192 and the stopper 196. The brake controller 192 is located at the handlebar 14, the stopper 196 is located at the rear wheel 17, and the brake cable is laid along the main strut 11.

[0034] In this preferred embodiment, the main support rod 11 and the auxiliary support rod 12 are telescopic rods.

[0035] The main support rod 11 includes a main support rod body 112 and a first telescopic rod 114. The lower end of the main support rod body 112 is fitted with the first telescopic rod 114, and the lower end of the first telescopic rod 114 is connected to the rear wheel 17. The lower part of the main support rod body 112 is provided with first through holes spaced apart along the axial direction. The first telescopic rod 114 is provided with a first elastic pin. The first elastic pin engages with any one of the first through holes to limit the degree of overlap between the first telescopic rod 114 and the main support rod body 112. By switching the position of the first through hole engaging the first elastic pin, the height of the main support rod 11 can be adjusted.

[0036] Similarly, the secondary support rod 12 includes a secondary support rod body 122 and a second telescopic rod 124. The lower end of the secondary support rod body 122 is fitted with the second telescopic rod 124, and the lower end of the second telescopic rod 124 is connected to the front wheel 16. The secondary support rod body 122 has second through holes spaced apart along the axial direction. The second telescopic rod 124 is provided with a second elastic pin. The second elastic pin engages with any one of the second through holes to limit the degree of overlap between the second telescopic rod 124 and the secondary support rod body 122. By switching the position of the second through hole engaging the second elastic pin, the height of the secondary support rod 12 can be adjusted.

[0037] The connecting bracket includes two horizontal bars 33 and two diagonal bars 35. The two horizontal bars 33 are horizontally arranged relative to each other, with their ends corresponding to the front wheel 16 and the rear wheel 17, respectively, located at the middle of the inner side of the left frame 10 and the right frame 20. The two diagonal bars 35 are scissor-likely connected below the horizontal bars 33. The upper end of the diagonal bars 35 is connected to the horizontal bars 33, and the lower end of the diagonal bars 35 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the left frame 10 or the right frame 20 via a lug 39 and a pivot 37. By folding the diagonal bars 35, the left frame 10 and the right frame 20 can be folded.

[0038] The seat cushion 50 is made of flexible fabric. The two opposite sides of the seat cushion 50 are connected to two crossbars 33, thereby forming a horizontal panel in the middle between the left frame 10 and the right frame 20 for the user to rest and sit on.

[0039] The shopping basket 40 is an open-top basket made of flexible fabric. It has hanging ears 43 on opposite sides, which are hooked onto a crossbar 33, allowing the shopping basket 40 to be positioned in front of the seat cushion 50. Furthermore, the front end of the shopping basket 40 has side pockets 45.

[0040] The detachable backrest 60 includes a pair of male and female buckles 62 and a backrest strap 64. The male buckles of the pair of male and female buckles 62 are respectively located on the left frame 10 and the right frame 20. Specifically, the male buckles of the pair of male and female buckles 62 are respectively located on the two main support rods 11, and the female buckles are respectively located on opposite sides of the backrest strap 64. The backrest strap 64 is made of flexible fabric and is located above the seat cushion 50 to provide back support for the user sitting on the seat cushion 50.

[0041] When using the shopping cart of this embodiment, the user can hold onto the handles 14 with both hands and slide the cart using the front wheels 16 and rear wheels 17. The height of the shopping cart can be adjusted by changing the extension / retraction of the main support rod 11 and the auxiliary support rod 12 to meet the needs of users of different heights. When the user is tired, they can sit on the seat cushion 50. Alternatively, a walking user can carry a companion while shopping. Since the shopping basket 40 is located at the front of the seat cushion 50, it is already higher than the ground compared to existing shopping carts, and the extension / retraction function allows for further adjustment of the basket 40's height. Furthermore, the user can easily retrieve items from the shopping basket 40 while on the seat cushion 50, avoiding lower back strain. When not in use, the left frame 10 and right frame 20 can be folded together by connecting the support brackets for easy storage.

[0042] Compared to existing technologies, the shopping cart in this embodiment expands its functionality by incorporating a seat cushion, allowing users to rest comfortably. Furthermore, the shopping basket is positioned to one side of the seat cushion, keeping it off the ground and making it easier for users to retrieve items while seated, thus preventing lower back strain. Additionally, the connecting bracket enables the shopping cart to be folded for storage. Moreover, the frame is telescopic, allowing for height adjustment to suit users of different heights.

[0043] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, it will be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
