Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of flatbed truck technology, and in particular relates to a foldable flatbed truck for transporting bottled water. Background Technology

[0002] To meet the transportation needs of bottled water, various types of flatbed trucks have emerged in the market. The most common type is a fixed, integrated structure, with a single-piece load-bearing plate. The wheels are directly fixed to the bottom of the load-bearing plate, and the push rod is fixed to one end. This type of flatbed truck provides a large carrying area when unfolded, meeting basic transportation needs. Some improved flatbed trucks incorporate integrated reinforcement devices to effectively prevent bottles from falling due to road bumps or turns. However, these fixed-structure flatbed trucks typically lack folding functionality. When not in use, they occupy a significant amount of space, making storage difficult in space-constrained locations and hindering transport flexibility. Furthermore, existing flatbed trucks lack protective structures, allowing bottled water to easily slip from the sides during transport due to road bumps or turns, causing damage to the bottles.

[0003] To address these issues, we provide a foldable flatbed truck for transporting bottled water. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a foldable flatbed truck for transporting bottled water. Through the cooperation of a positioning mechanism, a protective mechanism, and a push handle mechanism, it solves the problems of existing flatbed trucks that cannot achieve folding function due to their integral fixed structure and lack of protective structure.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0006] This utility model relates to a foldable flatbed truck for transporting bottled water, comprising a first transport plate, a second transport plate hinged to one side of the first transport plate, positioning mechanisms at the front and rear ends of both the first and second transport plates, protective mechanisms at the top of the first and second transport plates, and a push handle mechanism on one side of the top of the second transport plate. The positioning mechanism includes a connecting post, one side of which is fixedly connected to the first transport plate, and a hook movably connected to the surface of the connecting post. A positioning post cooperating with the hook is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the second transport plate. The first and second transport plates are sized to fit each other and are seamlessly hinged together. The connecting post is welded to the first transport plate. The edges at the front and rear ends of the transport plates are designed to allow for flexible rotation of the hooks. The other end of the hook is curved, with an inner arc that matches the shape of the positioning post. The diameter of the positioning post is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the hook. When storage is required, the two transport plates can be folded together by rotating, reducing the overall footprint and making it easy to store in corners or other confined spaces. When unfolded for use, the hooks are rotated and attached to the positioning post using the positioning mechanism, quickly securing the first and second transport plates. The operation is simple and convenient, requiring no tools. The tight fit between the hooks and the positioning post effectively prevents relative movement between the first and second transport plates during transportation, ensuring the overall stability of the flatbed.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the protective mechanism includes five sets of protective railings. The bottom of each protective railing contacts the first and second transport plates respectively. The protective railings are hinged together. A positioning sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of each protective railing. The five sets of protective railings can form a surrounding protection for the bottled water from multiple positions, completely preventing the bottled water from tipping to the side during transportation. The protective railings are hinged together, allowing for quick disassembly when the flatbed is folded, without affecting the folding and storage of the flatbed, and quickly forming a complete protective structure when unfolded. The positioning sleeve provides a stable installation base for the protective railings, ensuring that the protective railings will not shake arbitrarily during transportation, further enhancing the reliability of the protection.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the top of the first transport plate and the second transport plate are both fixedly connected to a limiting post, the bottom of the limiting post extends into the inner cavity of the positioning sleeve, and the limiting post cooperates with the positioning sleeve at the bottom of the guardrail. When the bottom of the positioning sleeve extends into the inner cavity of the limiting post, the position of the guardrail can be precisely limited, preventing the guardrail from shifting or tipping over during transportation, ensuring the continuous effectiveness of the protective function, and making the installation and disassembly of the guardrail more convenient.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the push handle mechanism includes a connecting seat, and the number of connecting seats is two. The bottom of the connecting seat is fixedly connected to the second transport plate, and the top of the connecting seat is movably connected to the push rod through a rotating shaft. A limit lever is provided between the connecting seats. When the flatbed is not in use, the push rod is folded to fit against the second transport plate, which greatly reduces space occupation and facilitates storage and carrying.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that movable frames are movably connected to both sides of the bottom of the first and second transport plates. The bottom of the movable frame is movably connected to a roller via a pivot. The movable frame and the roller cooperate, and the movable frame can flexibly adjust the angle so that the roller can rotate adaptively according to the road conditions, thereby improving the passability of the flatbed truck on complex roads. The roller is connected to the movable frame via a pivot, so that the flatbed truck can easily turn and move, reducing the physical exertion when transporting bottled water.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that anti-slip plates are fixedly connected to the top of both the first transport plate and the second transport plate, and anti-slip strips are provided on the top of the anti-slip plates. The anti-slip plates can increase the contact friction between the bottled water and the transport plate, and prevent the bottled water from sliding due to vibration during transportation.

[0012] The present invention is further provided that the surface of the push rod is covered with a protective sleeve, the surface of the protective sleeve is provided with anti-slip texture, and the protective sleeve is made of soft material, which can reduce the direct friction between the hand and the push rod, avoid wear or discomfort to the hand when pushing for a long time, and improve the comfort of operation.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0014] 1. This utility model achieves rapid folding and unfolding of the flatbed cart by using the hinged structure of the first and second transport plates, combined with the hook and positioning post in the positioning mechanism. When folding, simply disconnect the hook and positioning post to fold the two transport plates in half, greatly reducing the size of the equipment and making it easier to store and carry. It effectively solves the problem of large space occupation of traditional flatbed carts. The positioning mechanism can firmly lock the first and second transport plates when the flatbed cart is unfolded to prevent relative displacement during transportation.

[0015] 2. This utility model forms a protective structure with five sets of guardrails, which adjust their state synchronously with the folding of the transport plate. When unfolded, it can provide all-round lateral protection for bottled water, preventing it from slipping off the side. The cooperation between the positioning sleeve and the limiting post ensures the positional stability of the guardrail during use, further improving the protective effect.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model is a foldable bottled water transport flatbed cart, including a first transport plate 1, a second transport plate 2 hinged to one side of the first transport plate 1, positioning mechanisms 3 provided at the front and rear ends of the first transport plate 1 and the second transport plate 2, a protective mechanism 4 provided at the top of the first transport plate 1 and the second transport plate 2, and a push handle mechanism 5 provided on one side of the top of the second transport plate 2. The positioning mechanism 3 includes a connecting post 31, one side of the connecting post 31 is fixedly connected to the first transport plate 1, a hook 32 is movably connected to the surface of the connecting post 31, and a positioning post 33 that cooperates with the hook 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the second transport plate 2.

[0026] Specifically: The dimensions of the first transport plate 1 and the second transport plate 2 are matched, and they are seamlessly hinged together. The connecting post 31 is welded to the front and rear edge positions of the first transport plate 1 so that the hook 32 can rotate flexibly. The other end of the hook 32 is hook-shaped, and the inner side of the hook is arc-shaped, which matches the shape of the positioning post 33. The diameter of the positioning post 33 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the hook 32. When it is needed for storage, the two transport plates can be folded together by rotating, reducing the overall footprint and making it easy to store in corners or other narrow spaces. When unfolded for use, the hook 32 is rotated and hooked onto the positioning post 33 with the help of the positioning mechanism 3, which can quickly fix the first transport plate 1 and the second transport plate 2. The operation is simple and convenient and can be completed without the aid of tools. The tight cooperation between the hook 32 and the positioning post 33 can effectively prevent relative movement between the first transport plate 1 and the second transport plate 2 during transportation, ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the flatbed.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 Based on Embodiment 1, the protective mechanism 4 includes five sets of protective railings 41. The bottom of each protective railing 41 contacts the first transport plate 1 and the second transport plate 2, respectively. The protective railings 41 are hinged together. A positioning sleeve 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of each protective railing 41. Limiting posts 6 are fixedly connected to the top of both the first transport plate 1 and the second transport plate 2. The bottom of the limiting posts 6 extends into the inner cavity of the positioning sleeve 42. The push handle mechanism 5 includes two connecting seats 51. The bottom of the first transport plate 1 is fixedly connected to the second transport plate 2. The top of the connecting seat 51 is movably connected to the push rod 52 via a pivot. A limit lever 53 is provided between the connecting seats 51. Movable frames 7 are movably connected to both sides of the bottom of the first transport plate 1 and the second transport plate 2. Rollers 8 are movably connected to the bottom of the movable frames 7 via a pivot. Anti-slip plates 9 are fixedly connected to the top of the first transport plate 1 and the second transport plate 2. Anti-slip strips are provided on the top of the anti-slip plates 9. A protective sleeve 10 is fitted on the surface of the push rod 52. Anti-slip textures are provided on the surface of the protective sleeve 10.

[0029] Specifically: Five sets of protective railings 41 can form a surrounding protection for bottled water from multiple positions, comprehensively preventing the bottled water from tipping over during transportation. The protective railings 41 are hinged together, allowing for quick disassembly when the flatbed is folded, without affecting the folding and storage of the flatbed, and quickly forming a complete protective structure when unfolded. The positioning sleeves 42 provide a stable installation base for the protective railings 41, ensuring that the protective railings 41 will not shake during transportation, further enhancing the reliability of the protection. The limiting post 6 cooperates with the positioning sleeve 42 at the bottom of the protective railing 41. When the bottom of the positioning sleeve 42 extends into the inner cavity of the limiting post 6, it can accurately limit the position of the protective railing 41, preventing the protective railing 41 from shifting or tipping over during transportation, ensuring the continuous effectiveness of the protection. The installation and disassembly of the railing 41 are more convenient. When the flatbed is not in use, the push rod 52 can be folded to fit against the second transport plate 2, greatly reducing space occupation and making it easy to store and carry. The movable frame 7 works with the rollers 8. The movable frame 7 can flexibly adjust the angle, so that the rollers 8 can rotate adaptively according to the road conditions, improving the flatbed's passability on complex roads. The rollers 8 are connected to the movable frame 7 through a pivot, allowing the flatbed to easily turn and move, reducing the physical exertion when handling bottled water. The anti-slip plate 9 can increase the contact friction between the bottled water and the transport plate, preventing the bottled water from slipping due to vibration during transportation. The protective cover 10 is made of soft material, which can reduce the direct friction between the hand and the push rod 52, avoiding wear or discomfort to the hand when pushing for a long time, and improving the comfort of operation.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When transporting bottled water, the first transport plate 1 and the second transport plate 2, which are in a folded state, are first unfolded to the same plane through hinges. Then, the hooks 32 on the front and rear connecting posts 31 of the first transport plate 1 are rotated so that the bent part of the hook 32 engages with the positioning post 33 at the corresponding position of the second transport plate 2, achieving a tight fit and quickly fixing the two transport plates to ensure that there is no relative movement during transportation. The five sets of protective railings 41 are unfolded through hinges so that the bottom of the protective railings 41 contacts the first transport plate 1 and the second transport plate 2. At the same time, the positioning sleeve 42 on one side of the bottom of the protective railing 41 is aligned with the limiting post 6 at the top of the transport plate. The bottom of the positioning sleeve 42 is inserted into the inner cavity of the limiting post 6. The cooperation between the limiting post 6 and the positioning sleeve 42 precisely restricts the position of the protective railing 41, preventing it from shifting or tipping over during transportation. The five sets of protective railings 41 form a surrounding protection, preventing the bottled water from tipping over to the side from multiple positions.
