[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] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a steering mechanism that is easy to connect, including a steering gear 1, a triangular connecting frame 2 rotatably connected to one end of the steering gear 1, a wheel 3 rotatably connected to one side of the triangular connecting frame 2, a connecting structure 4 rotatably connected to the other side of the triangular connecting frame 2, a support structure 5 provided on the outer surface of the connecting structure 4, and a fixing structure 6 provided on the inner wall of the support structure 5.

[0032] The connecting structure 4 includes a connector 41, the outer surface of the connector 41 is rotatably connected to the other side of the triangular connecting frame 2, a connecting plate 42 is fixedly connected to one side of the connector 41, a longitudinal plate 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 42, and a positioning groove 44 is provided on the outer surface of the longitudinal plate 43.

[0033] The support structure 5 includes a crossbeam 51, and the outer surface of the crossbeam 51 is provided with mounting holes 52. The inner wall of the mounting holes 52 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the connecting plate 42.

[0034] The fixed structure 6 includes a positioning plate 61, a movable block 62 is fixedly connected to one side of the positioning plate 61, and a limit frame 63 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block 62.

[0035] The inner wall of the limiting frame 63 is slidably connected to a limiting plate. Both ends of the limiting plate are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole 52. The positioning plate 61 includes an extension plate 611. A positioning block 612 is fixedly connected to one side of the extension plate 611. The outer surface of the positioning block 612 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove 44. A telescopic groove is provided on one side of the positioning block 612. A fixing plate 613 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the telescopic groove. Two springs 614 are fixedly connected to one end of the fixing plate 613. One end of each of the two springs 614 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the telescopic groove.

[0036] In this embodiment, by setting a connecting structure 4 and a supporting structure 5, the connector 41 and the cross frame 51 are integrated in the prior art. Here, they are divided into two independent structures. When assembling the tripod and the cross frame 51, the wheel 3 and the triangular connecting frame 2 can be connected first, and then the connector 41 can be fixed to one side of the cross frame 51. The triangular connecting frame 2 on the other side is done in the same way. Therefore, when installing the wheel 3 and the triangular connecting frame 2, it is not necessary to lift the cross frame 51 and then align it with the triangular connecting frame 2 for fixing. The connecting plate 42 on one side of the connector 41 can be directly inserted into the mounting hole 52.

[0037] By setting the positioning plate 61, the longitudinal plate 43 can be fixed in the mounting hole 52, that is, the connector 41 is fixed at one end of the cross frame 51. Specifically, the positioning block 612 is snapped into the positioning groove 44, and the fixing plate 613 inside the positioning block 612 is snapped into the positioning groove 44 under the elastic force of the spring 614, and the longitudinal plate 43 is pulled into the mounting hole 52. The connecting plate 42 is attached to the inner wall of the mounting hole 52.

[0038] The movable block 62 can push the entire structure of the positioning plate 61 forward, so that when the longitudinal plate 43 is inserted into the mounting hole 52, the positioning block 612 is pushed into the positioning groove 44. The limiting frame 63 and the limiting plate are designed to make the movement of the fixed structure 6 more stable.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, a moving groove is formed on the outer surface of the moving block 62, and a slot is formed on one side of the moving groove. A limiting member 64 is provided on the inner wall of the moving groove. The limiting member 64 includes a moving head 641. A limiting groove 642 is formed on the outer surface of the moving head 641. A limiting post 643 is movably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 642. A connecting post 644 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limiting post 643. A support plate 645 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting post 644. A locking post 646 is fixedly connected to one end of the support plate 645. The outer surface of the locking post 646 and the inner wall of the slot are engaged. A baffle 647 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving head 641. The baffle 647 fits against the inner wall of the mounting hole 52.

[0041] In this embodiment, by setting a limiting member 64, the moving block 62 is restricted in the mounting hole 52 and will not move. After the positioning block 612 is pushed into the positioning groove 44, the moving head 641 and the baffle 647 are pushed to the right and attached to the inner wall of the mounting hole 52. A limiting post 643 and a locking post 646 are set. After the baffle 647 is attached to the inner wall of the mounting hole 52, the limiting post 643 is rotated and pulled outward in the limiting groove 642 to align the locking post 646 with the locking groove. Then, it is pressed down again to lock the locking post 646 in the locking groove, thereby restricting the movement of the moving head 641.

[0042] Working principle:

[0043] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in the actual assembly process, the triangular connecting frame 2 and the wheel 3 are first rotated together. Then, the connecting plate 42 on one side of the connector 41 is aligned with the mounting hole 52 of the cross frame 51 and inserted. At this time, the longitudinal plate 43 enters the mounting hole 52 synchronously with the connecting plate 42. Then, the moving block 62 is pushed, causing the positioning plate 61 to move along the sliding fit direction between the limiting frame 63 and the limiting plate. The positioning block 612 is inserted into the positioning groove 44 of the longitudinal plate 43 under the push of the extension plate 611. During the insertion process, the fixing plate 613 is squeezed and contracted into the telescopic groove by the inner wall of the positioning groove 44. When the positioning block 612 is fully inserted into the positioning groove 44, the fixing plate 613 is spring-loaded. Under the action of the reset spring force, 614 pops out and fits tightly against the inner wall of the positioning groove 44, realizing the initial fixation of the longitudinal plate 43. Then, the moving head 641 of the limiting member 64 is pushed into the moving groove of the moving block 62, the baffle 647 fits against the inner wall of the mounting hole 52, and the limiting column 643 is rotated to move within the limiting groove 642, driving the connecting column 644 and the support plate 645 to move until the locking column 646 is locked into the locking groove on one side of the moving groove, completing the limiting fixation of the moving block 62, and finally realizing the stable connection between the connecting structure 4 and the support structure 5. The entire assembly process does not require the overall lifting of the cross frame 51, effectively reducing the difficulty of operation and improving the connection convenience of the steering mechanism.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
