Detailed Implementation

[0021] To facilitate understanding of this utility model by those skilled in the art, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a medical trolley that is easy to store, including a bottom frame 1, a plurality of first rollers 11 connected to the bottom frame 1, a column 12 disposed on the bottom frame 1, an equipment bracket 2 rotatably connected to the column 12, and a folding shelf 3 connected to one side of the bottom frame 1. The equipment bracket 2 can rotate relative to the column 12, and the folding shelf 3 can be folded, thereby reducing the space occupied by the medical trolley when storing it.

[0023] The folding shelf 3 includes a fixed platform 31 connected to the bottom frame 1, a connecting assembly 32 connected to the fixed platform 31, a movable platform 33 rotatably connected to the connecting assembly 32, and a locking member 35 disposed on the side wall of the movable platform 33 for locking the connecting assembly 32 and the movable platform 33. Figure 1 From the perspective of the fixed platform 31, the movable platform 33 is located at the front and can be flipped upward relative to the fixed platform 31. After the movable platform 33 is flipped upward, the space occupied by the medical trolley can be reduced. Of course, the dimensions of the fixed platform 31 and the movable platform 33 in the attached figure are only for clear illustration of the structure. The actual dimensions can be adjusted according to actual needs, such as shortening the front and rear length of the fixed platform 31 to make the folded state more compact.

[0024] Both the fixed platform 31 and the movable platform 33 include a support frame 311, a flat plate 312 disposed on the support frame 311, and a plurality of second rollers 313 disposed at the bottom of the support frame 311. In this embodiment, the support frame 311 is composed of hollow tubular components.

[0025] The connecting assembly 32 includes a connector 321 with one end connected to the fixed platform 31, and the other end of the connector 321 inserted into the movable platform 33. The movable platform 33 has a waist-shaped hole 34 on its side wall corresponding to the position of the connector 321. The connector 321 has a guide limiting member that mates with the waist-shaped hole 34, extending outward from the waist-shaped hole 34. The locking member 35 locks the connector 321 and the movable platform 33. Specifically, one end of the connector 321 is fixed inside a tube on the side of the support frame 311 of the fixed platform 31, and the other end of the connector 321 extends a certain length beyond the tube. The tube corresponding to the movable platform 33 has a hole for the connector 321 to be inserted. After the connector 321 is inserted into the frame of the movable platform 33, its position corresponds to the waist-shaped hole 34, which has a certain length, allowing the movable platform 33 to move a certain distance relative to the fixed platform 31 for easy rotation. The cooperation between the guide limiter and the oblong hole 34 ensures the stability of the movable platform 33 during movement. In this embodiment, a set of connecting components 32 is provided on each of the opposite sides of the folding shelf 3.

[0026] The end of the connector 321 is provided with a locking hole 36, into which the locking member 35 is inserted. The tubular components of the support frame 311 of the movable platform 33 are provided with holes corresponding to the locking hole 36. When the medical trolley is in use, the locking member 35 passes through these holes and is inserted into the locking hole 36. The locking member 35 can be a pin with a spring 43. When pulled outward, the spring 43 is compressed, allowing it to disengage from the locking hole 36, thus enabling the movable platform 33 to move and rotate. In specific implementations, both the support frame 311 and the plate 312 are provided with openings (not shown in the figure) to avoid interference with the connector 321 during rotation. Figure 5 As shown, during the folding process of the folding shelf 3, first pull out the locking piece 35, then pull the movable platform 33 away from the fixed platform 31. After pulling it into place, the movable platform 33 can be flipped in the counterclockwise direction to complete the folding action.

[0027] Alternatively, a flip-up folding hinge can be used to replace the existing connecting component 32. The flip-up folding hinge allows the movable platform 33 and the fixed platform 31 to fold 180 degrees. However, when using the flip-up folding hinge, an additional fixing mechanism is required to fix the folding shelf 3 when it is unfolded or folded. Although the fixed platform 31 and the movable platform 33 can be folded and overlapped when using the flip-up folding hinge, it takes up more horizontal space than the method of using the connecting component 32, while keeping the area of ​​the folding shelf 3 unchanged.

[0028] A gas spring 13 is connected between the equipment bracket 2 and the column 12. In this embodiment, one end of the gas spring 13 is connected to the side wall of the column 12, and the other end is connected to the end of the equipment bracket 2 near the column 12. The gas spring 13 can extend and retract, thereby adjusting the unfolding angle of the equipment bracket 2. At the same time, the gas spring 13 has a self-locking function, which can stop the equipment bracket 2 at the angle required by the user.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, a locking assembly 4 is provided on the side wall of the column 12 facing the equipment bracket 2. The locking assembly 4 includes a locking bracket 41 rotatably connected to the column 12, a locking rod 42 disposed on the locking bracket 41, and a spring 43 connecting the locking bracket 41 and the column 12. The equipment bracket 2 is provided with a locking hook 21 that cooperates with the locking rod 42. In this embodiment, the spring 43 is a torsion spring, which can provide a restoring force for the locking bracket 41. When the locking bracket 41 is rotated downward, the equipment bracket 2 can be rotated so that the locking hook 21 reaches above the locking rod 42. At this time, the locking bracket 41 is released, and the locking bracket 41 is reset under the action of the spring 43, so that the locking rod 42 is engaged in the locking hook 21, fixing the equipment bracket 2 and the column 12 in a fixed connection and preventing relative movement between the equipment bracket 2 and the column 12.

[0030] The side wall of the column 12 is provided with a latch 14 for locking the equipment bracket 2. The latch 14 forms a second lock, further ensuring the stability of the equipment bracket 2 in the folded state.

[0031] The equipment support 2 includes a rotating arm 22 connected to the column 12 and an equipment mounting bracket 23 connected to the end of the rotating arm 22. The medical instrument is mounted on the equipment mounting bracket 23 during use. A buffer 16 is provided on the side of the column 12 facing the equipment support 2. The buffer can be made of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone, or an existing shock absorber. The buffer 16 acts as a cushion during the folding of the rotating arm 22, preventing hard contact and damage to the gas spring 13, column 12, rotating arm 22, and other structures.

[0032] The equipment mounting bracket 23 is equipped with a handle 24 for gripping. The side wall of the movable platform 33 is rotatably connected to a hook 37 that engages with the handle 24. When folding for storage, the movable platform 33 folds upwards, i.e., rotates counter-clockwise, with its end close to the equipment bracket 2. Then, the hook 37 is rotated to engage the handle 24, thus folding the movable platform 33. The handle 24 facilitates user adjustment of the height and angle of the equipment bracket 2 during use, and also serves to secure the movable platform 33 during folding for storage.

[0033] The column 12 has a folding box 15 on its side wall. The folding box 15 can adopt an existing side wall folding structure, which can be folded for storage to save space. In addition, the column 12 is also equipped with a handle for users to hold and an extension bracket. The handle makes it easy for users to push the medical trolley, and the extension bracket can be connected to medical instruments, storage boxes, etc., according to usage needs.

[0034] The device bracket 2 and the column 12 of this utility model are rotatably connected, so that the device bracket 2 can be folded toward the column 12 and locked and fixed by the locking component 4. At the same time, the movable platform 33 of the folding shelf 3 can be folded toward the column 12. When storing, the space occupied by the medical trolley can be greatly reduced, and the space utilization rate can be greatly improved.
