[0002] Outboard motors are propulsion engines installed on the outside of the hull (ship's side), typically suspended on the outside of the stern plate. Outboard motors are highly integrated, easy to install and select, and widely used in fisheries, commercial operations, and government law enforcement, covering scenarios such as emergency rescue and maritime patrol.
[0003] When transporting outboard motors, the outboard motors and the boat body are usually transported separately. When the boat is launched into the water, the outboard motors are then assembled onto the boat body. Outboard motors are relatively heavy and normally require two people to lift them. To reduce the labor intensity, an outboard motor trolley was developed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to disclose an outboard motor trolley.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides an outboard motor trolley, comprising two main support rods and two auxiliary support rods arranged in parallel, wherein the first end of each auxiliary support rod is hinged to the main support rod.
[0006] A hanging plate is fixedly installed between the first ends of the two main support rods, a handrail is installed at the first end of each of the two main support rods, a first wheel is installed at the second end of each of the two main support rods, and a second wheel is installed at the second end of each of the two auxiliary support rods.
[0007] A limiting plate is provided between the main support rod and the secondary support rod. The limiting plate has a first limiting groove, a second limiting groove, and a third limiting groove. An arc-shaped limiting groove connects the first limiting groove, the second limiting groove, and the third limiting groove. The secondary support rod is provided with a limiting post. The limiting post changes its engagement position along the arc-shaped limiting groove between the first limiting groove, the second limiting groove, and the third limiting groove.
[0008] Preferably, when the limiting post and the first limiting groove are engaged, the main support rod and the auxiliary support rod are in a herringbone shape, and the angle between the hanging plate and the horizontal plane is 90°.
[0009] When the limiting post and the second limiting groove are engaged, the first wheel and the second wheel simultaneously contact the ground, the included angle between the main support rod and the auxiliary support rod is 10°-20°, and the included angle between the main support rod and the horizontal plane is 0°.
[0010] When the limiting post and the third limiting groove are engaged, the included angle between the main support rod and the auxiliary support rod is 0°.
[0011] Preferably, an L-shaped plate is installed at the second end of the two main support rods;
[0012] When the limiting post and the first limiting groove are engaged, the L-shaped plate is loaded with goods;
[0013] When the limiting post and the third limiting groove are engaged, the L-shaped plate and the first wheel engage to form two fulcrums that keep the main support rod in a vertical state.
[0014] Preferably, a cam locking handle is provided at the end of the limiting post.
[0015] Preferably, a connecting rod is provided between the ends of the two limiting plates.

[0020] Preferably, the first end of the secondary support rod is hinged to the lower part of the middle of the main support rod.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0022] The limiting plate of this utility model's outboard motor trolley has a first limiting groove, a second limiting groove, and a third limiting groove. When the limiting post and the first limiting groove are engaged, the main support rod and the auxiliary support rod form an A-shape, allowing the outboard motor to be suspended on a vertical mounting plate. This makes it easy for the operator to stand and push the outboard motor, significantly reducing the operator's labor intensity. When the limiting post and the second limiting groove are engaged, the angle between the main support rod and the auxiliary support rod is 10°-20°, while the angle between the main support rod and the horizontal plane is 0°. This allows some heavy objects to be placed above the two main support rods, providing a flatbed cart for the operator to use. When the limiting post and the third limiting groove are engaged, the angle between the main support rod and the auxiliary support rod is 0°, allowing the main support rod to be supported vertically at a certain point, enabling the outboard motor trolley to be in a folded state and reducing the storage space required for the outboard motor trolley.

[0032] Embodiment 1
[0033] Refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment discloses a specific implementation of an outboard engine trolley.
[0034] This embodiment provides an outboard engine trolley, which includes two main support rods 1 and two auxiliary support rods 2 arranged in parallel. The first end 2 of the auxiliary support rod is hinged to the main support rod 1. The first end 21 of the auxiliary support rod is hinged to a position below the middle of the main support rod 1, so that the distance between the hinge point 13 and the second end 12 of the main support rod is long enough to adapt to mounting outboard engines of different models; a hanging plate 3 is fixedly installed between the first ends 11 of the two main support rods. The hanging plate 3 is a rectangular parallelepiped plate with a thickness of 30 mm - 50 mm. Armrests 4 are installed at the first ends 11 of the two main support rods. The armrest 4 and the hanging plate 3 are respectively located on both sides of the first end 11 of the main support rod. The second ends 12 of the two main support rods are both installed with first wheels 5. A first support shaft 51 is provided between the two first wheels 5. The second ends 22 of the two auxiliary support rods are both installed with second wheels 23. A second support shaft 232 is provided between the two second wheels 23. The second wheel 23 is a universal wheel, which is convenient for the operator to change the direction. The diameter of the second wheel 23 is smaller than the diameter of the first wheel 5, making the outboard engine trolley as a whole more compact. The second wheel 23 is provided with a brake pad 231; Refer to Figure 2 , a limiting plate 6 is provided between the main support rod 1 and the auxiliary support rod 2. The end of the limiting plate 6 is rotatably installed on the main support rod 1. The limiting plate 6 has a first limiting groove 61, a second limiting groove 62 and a third limiting groove; an arc-shaped limiting groove 64 communicates with the first limiting groove 61, the second limiting groove 62 and the third limiting groove 63. The auxiliary support rod 2 is provided with a limiting column 7. The limiting column 7 changes the mating position among the first limiting groove 61, the second limiting groove 62 and the third limiting groove 63 along the arc-shaped limiting groove 64; the first limiting groove 61 is an arc-shaped groove. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5When the limiting post 7 and the first limiting groove 61 are engaged, the main support rod 1 and the auxiliary support rod 2 form a V-shape, the included angle b between the main support rod 1 and the auxiliary support rod 2 is 90°, the included angle a between the mounting plate 3 and the horizontal plane is 90°, and the outboard motor 9 can be mounted on the mounting plate 3; the second limiting groove 62 is an arc-shaped groove, see [reference]. Figure 3 When the limiting post 7 and the second limiting groove 62 are engaged, the first wheel 5 and the second wheel 23 simultaneously contact the ground. The included angle c between the main support rod 1 and the auxiliary support rod 2 is 10°-20°, and the included angle between the main support rod 1 and the horizontal plane is 0°. The third limiting groove 63 is an arc-shaped groove. See [reference needed]. Figure 4 When the limiting post 7 and the third limiting groove 63 are engaged, the included angle between the main support rod 1 and the auxiliary support rod 2 is 0°.
[0035] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 L-shaped plates 8 are installed at the second ends 12 of the two main support rods. The L-shaped plates 8 and the first wheels 5 are located on both sides of the second ends 12 of the main support rods. When the limiting post 7 and the first limiting groove 61 are engaged, the L-shaped plates 8 are loaded with cargo, such as oil drums for supplying fuel to the outboard motor. In this state, the first wheels 5 and the second wheels 23 are in contact with the ground simultaneously. The operator holds the two handrails 4 and pushes the outboard motor trolley to move. When encountering a step, the handrails 4 can be pressed down to lift the first wheels 5, allowing the operator to step over the step. This system can adapt to uneven surfaces and even stepped surfaces. See also Figure 4 When the limiting post 7 and the third limiting groove 63 are engaged, the L-shaped plate 8 and the first wheel 5 cooperate to form two fulcrums that keep the main support rod 1 in a vertical state. That is, the horizontal part 81 of the L-shaped plate 8 contacts the ground, and the first wheel 5 also contacts the ground. The angle between the main support rod 1 and the auxiliary support rod 2 is 0°. The main support rod 1 can be supported vertically in a certain place, so that the outboard motor trolley is in a folded state, reducing the storage space of the outboard motor trolley.
[0036] See Figures 1 to 5 To ensure the stability and convenience of the engagement between the limiting post 7 and the first limiting groove 61, the second limiting groove 62, and the third limiting groove 63, a cam locking handle 71 is provided at the end of the limiting post 7. This handle can lock the limiting post 7 in the first limiting groove 61, the second limiting groove 62, or the third limiting groove 63 in a timely manner, effectively preventing the limiting post 7 from disengaging from the limiting groove and causing transportation risks. A connecting rod 72 is provided between the ends of the two limiting plates 6. When it is necessary to move the limiting post 7, first release the cam locking handle 71, and then swing the connecting rod 72 to drive the limiting post 7 at both ends of the connecting rod 72 to change its engagement position along the arc-shaped limiting groove 64 between the first limiting groove 61, the second limiting groove 62, and the third limiting groove 63. Simultaneously, the limiting plate 6 rotates freely and engages with the limiting post 7.
[0037] In this embodiment, the limiting plate 6 of the outboard motor trolley has a first limiting groove 61, a second limiting groove 62, and a third limiting groove 63. When the limiting post 7 and the first limiting groove 61 are engaged, the main support rod 1 and the auxiliary support rod 2 form an A-shape, which can suspend the outboard motor 9 on the vertical hanging plate 3, making it convenient for the operator to stand and push the outboard motor, greatly reducing the operator's labor intensity. When the limiting post 7 and the second limiting groove 62 are engaged, the included angle between the main support rod 1 and the auxiliary support rod 2 is 10°-20°, while the included angle between the main support rod 1 and the horizontal plane is 0°, which can place some heavy objects on the two main support rods 1 for the operator to use as a flatbed cart. When the limiting post 7 and the third limiting groove 63 are engaged, the included angle between the main support rod 1 and the auxiliary support rod 2 is 0°, which can support the main support rod 1 vertically at a certain point, so that the outboard motor trolley is in a folded state, reducing the storage space of the outboard motor trolley.
