[0029] 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.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a supply chain rack with a mobile function, including a rack 1 for accommodating goods. Universal wheels 2 are installed near the four corners of the lower surface of the rack 1 to move the rack 1 and allow it to turn freely. Support mechanisms 3 are provided at both ends of the lower surface of the rack 1 to lift the rack 1 and lift the universal wheels 2 off the ground. The support mechanism 3 includes a lifting component 31 for raising the rack 1 and a linkage component 32 for allowing the operator to control the four sets of support feet 314 by simply stepping on one side pedal 316. The lifting component 31 includes a support box 311 for supporting the rest of the support mechanism 3. The upper surface of the support box 311 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rack 1. Rotary shafts 312 are rotatably connected at both ends of the support box 311 to drive gears 313. Gears 313 for driving a rack plate 322 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 312. A mechanism for connecting the rotating shaft 312 to the pedal is also fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 312. The swing arm 315 is connected to the support arm 316. The outer wall of the swing arm 315 is fixedly connected to the rear part to lift the shelf 1 when the swing arm 315 swings downward and contacts the ground. The support foot 314 is set at the rear to make the swing arm 315 a force-saving lever. The front surface of the swing arm 315 is fixedly connected to the pedal 316 so that the operator can control the left and right swing arms 315 by stepping on it. The left and right ends of the support box 311 are provided with locking components 4 to be fixed after the rack plate 322 moves to a specific position. The linkage component 32 includes a support spring 321 to continuously push the rack plate 322 when the caster wheel 2 contacts the ground to prevent the swing arm 315 from falling. The upper end of the support spring 321 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shelf 1. The lower end of the support spring 321 is fixedly connected to the rack plate 322 so that the movement of the gear 313 at one end can drive the other end to move synchronously. The rack plate 322 and the gear 313 mesh with each other.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-3 The outer wall of the rack plate 322 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support box 311. Multiple lifting components 31 are provided, and the multiple lifting components 31 are symmetrically arranged with the center line of the support box 311 as the axis. The bottom of the support foot 314 is provided with a slope around its perimeter, so that the support foot 314 can pry up the shelf 1 more easily when it contacts the ground. The locking component 4 includes a protective box 41 for protecting the internal structure. The left surface of the protective box 41 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the support box 311. The inner wall of the protective box 41 is slidably connected to a slider 42 for inserting into the slot 46 to fix the rack plate 322.

[0032] Reference Figures 2-4A connecting rod 44 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the slider 42 to connect the slider 42 and the pull plate 45. A pull plate 45 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the connecting rod 44 to facilitate the operator to pull. The outer wall of the connecting rod 44 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the protective box 41. A slot 46 for accommodating the slider 42 is provided on the upper part of the rack plate 322. The outer wall of the slider 42 is inserted into the inner wall of the slot 46. The slider 42 and the protective box 41 are elastically connected by a return spring 43 that can automatically reset after the slider 42 moves and loses external force. The rear surface of the slider 42 is set as a slope so that the slider 42 can be retracted into the protective box 41 when it contacts the rack plate 322.

[0033] Working principle: First, push the shelf 1 to the desired position, then step on the pedal 316. The pedal 316 moves downward, causing the swing arm 315 to swing around the pivot 312. At this time, the pivot 312 is guided to rotate, simultaneously driving the gear 313 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 313 drives the rack plate 322 to move upward, causing another set of gears 313 to rotate synchronously. The support spring 321 undergoes elastic deformation. When the four corner support feet 314 contact the ground, the sloping part of the support feet 314 makes it easier for the support feet 314 to lift the shelf 1. During the movement of 322, it will come into contact with the sloping part of the slider 42, causing the slider 42 to retract into the protective box 41. When the support foot 314 is completely in contact with the ground, the slider 42 is pushed into the upper slot 46 of the rack plate 322 under the action of the internal return spring 43, so that the lifting height of the device is fixed. When it is necessary to unlock, simply pull the pull plate 45. The pull plate 45 drives the connecting rod 44 to move and then drives the slider 42 to disengage from the slot 46. At this time, the support spring 321 releases its elasticity and cooperates with the weight of the device to make the universal wheel 2 contact the ground, so that the device returns to its original position.

[0034] 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.
