[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figure 1-5This is the first embodiment of the present utility model, which provides a lower frame 1, an upper frame 2 is provided on the top of the lower frame 1, the left and right sides of the lower frame 1 are in contact with the inner side of the upper frame 2, a handle 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper frame 2, wheels 4 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the lower frame 1, an adjustment mechanism 5 is provided at the connection between the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 1, and a fixing mechanism 6 is provided on the left and right sides of the lower frame 1.

[0030] The adjustment mechanism 5 is used to fold the upper frame 2 to the rear side of the lower frame 1;

[0031] The fixing mechanism 6 is used to fix the upper frame 2 when it is unfolded and in use.

[0032] Specifically, it achieves the effect of making the card cart easy to fold, reducing its space occupation when not in use and transportation costs, thus improving the portability of the card cart.

[0033] Furthermore, when folding, the screw 602 is removed, the rotating rod 501 rotates with the upper frame 2, the ratchet 502 rotates synchronously, and the pawl 504 restricts its reverse rotation; when unfolding, the knob 603 is turned so that the screw 602 passes through the fixing plate 601, the upper frame 2 to the inner wall of the lower frame 1 to fix the upper frame 2.

[0034] A support column 9 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the upper frame 2. The support column 9 is fixed to the rear side of the upper frame 2. When the upper frame 2 is unfolded and laid flat with the lower frame 1 for loading, the support column 9 contacts the ground, providing support for both the upper and lower frames 1.

[0035] A non-slip sleeve 10 is fixedly fitted onto the surface of the handle 3. The non-slip sleeve 10 increases the friction between the handle 3 and the user's hand, preventing slippage when the user grips the handle 3 to push the slot cart, thus reducing the risk of accidents during operation.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] The second embodiment of this utility model provides an adjustment mechanism 5 including a rotating rod 501. Both ends of the rotating rod 501 extend to the outside of the lower frame 1 and are fixedly connected to the upper frame 2. The surface of the rotating rod 501 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the lower frame 1. A ratchet 502 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod 501. A connecting rod 503 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the lower frame 1. A pawl 504 is hinged to the other end of the connecting rod 503. The ratchet 502 and the pawl 504 are used in cooperation.

[0038] Specifically, by adjusting mechanism 5, the card cart can be folded, reducing its volume when not in use, improving the card cart's convenience, ensuring the stability and unidirectionality of the upper frame 2 during the folding process, preventing reverse rotation after folding, and improving the stability of the card cart after folding.

[0039] Furthermore, the two ends of the rotating rod 501 are fixed to the upper frame 2, and its surface is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the lower frame 1. When the upper frame 2 needs to be folded, the screw 602 is moved out from the inner wall of the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 1. Then the rotating rod 501 rotates with the upper frame 2, and the ratchet 502 is fixed on the rotating rod 501 and rotates synchronously. During the rotation of the ratchet 502, the pawl 504 cooperates with the ratchet 502 to restrict the ratchet 502 from rotating in the opposite direction, thereby realizing the adjustment of the upper frame 2 to fold backward.

[0040] A torsion spring 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the pawl 504 near the connecting rod 503. The other end of the torsion spring 7 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the lower frame 1. The torsion spring 7 is sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod 503. The torsion spring 7 is sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod 503, with one end connected to the pawl 504 and the other end fixed to the inner side of the lower frame 1. When the ratchet 502 rotates, causing the pawl 504 to move, the torsion spring 7 deforms and generates elastic force. Under the action of the elastic force, the pawl 504 always maintains close contact with the ratchet 502. The design of the torsion spring 7 ensures a tight fit between the pawl 504 and the ratchet 502 and also prevents the pawl 504 from rotating due to external forces.

[0041] A lever 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the pawl 504. The lever 8 is fixed to the top of the pawl 504. When it is necessary to disengage the ratchet 502 from the pawl 504 and unfold the upper frame 2, the lever 8 is moved to rotate the pawl 504 around the connecting rod 503, causing the pawl 504 to separate from the ratchet 502 and releasing the restriction on the ratchet 502. The lever 8 provides the user with a convenient operating component, making the disengagement of the pawl 504 from the ratchet 502 easier and more convenient, improving operational flexibility and enhancing the user experience.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] The third embodiment of this utility model provides a fixing mechanism 6 including a fixing plate 601 fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the lower frame 1. A screw 602 is drivenly connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 601. One end of the screw 602 passes through the fixing plate 601 and the upper frame 2 and extends to the inner wall of the lower frame 1. The surface of the screw 602 is drivenly connected to the inner walls of the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 1. The other end of the screw 602 extends to the side of the fixing plate 601 away from the upper frame 2 and is fixedly connected to a knob 603.

[0044] Specifically, the fixing mechanism 6 has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The screw 602 can effectively fix the upper frame 2 in the unfolded state, which enhances the stability and firmness of the frame 2 during use, avoids the normal use of the car due to the upper frame 2 loosening, and improves the safety during use.

[0045] Furthermore, the fixing plate 601 is fixed on both sides of the lower frame 1, and the screw 602 is connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 601. When the upper frame 2 is unfolded for use, the knob 603 is turned so that one end of the screw 602 passes through the fixing plate 601 and the upper frame 2 and extends to the inner wall of the lower frame 1. Through the transmission connection between the screw 602 and the inner walls of the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 1, the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 1 are fixed together to prevent the upper frame 2 from shaking during use.

[0046] Working principle:

[0047] When the upper frame 2 needs to be folded, the screw 602 is moved out from the inner wall of the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 1. Then, the rotating rod 501 rotates with the upper frame 2, and the ratchet 502, fixed on the rotating rod 501, rotates synchronously. When the ratchet 502 rotates and causes the pawl 504 to move, the torsion spring 7 deforms and generates elastic force. Under the action of elastic force, the pawl 504 always maintains close contact with the ratchet 502. The design of the torsion spring 7 ensures the tight fit between the pawl 504 and the ratchet 502, and also prevents the pawl 504 from folding. Due to external force causing rotation, the pawl 504 cooperates with the ratchet 502 to restrict the ratchet 502 from rotating in the opposite direction, thereby realizing the adjustment of the upper frame 2 to fold backward. Through the adjustment mechanism 5, the cart can be folded, reducing its volume when not in use, improving the cart's convenience, ensuring the stability and unidirectionality of the upper frame 2 during the folding process, preventing reverse rotation after folding, and improving the stability of the cart after folding. When unfolding the upper frame 2, the lever 8 is turned. The pawl 504 rotates around the connecting rod 503, causing the pawl 504 to separate from the ratchet 502, thus releasing the restriction on the ratchet 502. The lever 8 provides a convenient operating component for the user, making the operation of disengaging the pawl 504 from the ratchet 502 easier and more convenient, improving operational flexibility and enhancing the user experience. When the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 1 are on the same plane, the knob 603 is rotated to make one end of the screw 602 pass through the fixing plate 601 and the upper frame 2 and extend to the inner wall of the lower frame 1. Through the transmission connection between the screw 602 and the inner walls of the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 1, the upper frame 2 and the lower frame 1 are fixed together, preventing the upper frame 2 from shaking during use. The fixing mechanism 6 has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The tightening action of the screw 602 can effectively fix the upper frame 2 in the unfolded state, enhancing the stability and firmness of the upper frame 2 during use, avoiding the impact of the loose upper frame 2 on the normal use of the slot machine, and improving the safety during use.

[0048] In summary, by combining the adjustment and fixing mechanisms, the foldable slot cart is made easier to fold, reducing its space-consuming volume when not in use and its transportation costs, thus improving its portability.
