[0005] Furthermore, the wheel assembly includes a swivel front wheel connected to the steering device and a rear wheel fixedly connected to one end of the vehicle base.

[0006] Furthermore, the steering device includes a fixed cylinder fixedly connected to one end of the vehicle base, a rotating rod rotatably connected inside the fixed cylinder, a handle at the top of the rotating rod, a push rod at the bottom of the rotating rod, and connecting rods at both ends of the push rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the internal shock absorption assembly includes a lower bottom plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cargo box, a damper is provided on the upper side of the lower bottom plate, a shock absorption spring is provided on the outer side of the damper, and an upper support plate is provided on the upper side of the shock absorption spring. The upper side of the upper support plate is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the handle is provided with anti-slip texture, and the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the omnidirectional shock-absorbing front wheel.

[0009] Furthermore, the electric hydraulic cylinder is provided with four cylinders, which are evenly distributed on both sides of the cargo box.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Example

[0017] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses a port cargo transport trolley, including a base 1, a wheel assembly 2 at the bottom of the base 1, a steering device 3 at one end of the base 1, a first spring 11 on one side of the steering device 3, an electric hydraulic cylinder 6 on the upper side of the base 1, a cargo box 5 on the upper side of the electric hydraulic cylinder 6, a cover 4 hinged to the top of the cargo box 5, an internal shock absorption assembly 9 at the bottom inside the cargo box 5, a cross plate 10 on the upper side of the internal shock absorption assembly 9, a tilt sensor 8 on the lower side of the cargo box 5, and a battery 7 on the lower side of the tilt sensor 8.

[0018] Furthermore, the wheel assembly 2 includes a swivel front wheel 21 connected to the steering device 3 and a shock-absorbing rear wheel 22 fixedly connected to one end of the vehicle base 1. Specifically, the swivel front wheel 21 is connected to the steering device 3 to achieve flexible steering and shock absorption, while the shock-absorbing rear wheel 22 is fixed to the vehicle base 1. The two work together to ensure the smooth movement of the vehicle and to buffer road bumps.

[0019] Furthermore, the steering device 3 includes a fixed cylinder 33 fixedly connected to one end of the vehicle base 1. A rotating rod 32 is rotatably connected inside the fixed cylinder 33. A handle 31 is provided at the top of the rotating rod 32, and a push rod 34 is provided at the bottom of the rotating rod 32. Connecting rods 35 are provided at both ends of the push rod 34. The handle 31 is provided with anti-slip texture, and the connecting rods 35 are fixedly connected to the universal shock-absorbing front wheel 21.

[0020] Specifically, the fixed cylinder 33 is fixed to the base 1 of the vehicle. The handle 31 at the top of the inner rotating rod 32 has anti-slip texture for easy gripping and operation. The push rod 34 at the bottom of the rotating rod 32 is connected to the universal shock-absorbing front wheel 21 through the connecting rod 35. Turning the handle can drive the front wheel to turn, enabling the trolley to change direction flexibly and adapt to the needs of operation in narrow areas of the port.

[0021] Furthermore, the internal shock absorption assembly 9 includes a lower base plate 94 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cargo box 5. A damper 93 is provided on the upper side of the lower base plate 94, and a shock-absorbing spring 92 is provided on the outer side of the damper 93. An upper support plate 91 is provided on the upper side of the shock-absorbing spring 92, and the upper side of the upper support plate 91 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 10. Specifically, the lower base plate 94 is fixed to the inner wall of the cargo box 5, and the upper support plate 91 supports the horizontal plate 10. The damper 93 and the outer shock-absorbing spring 92 work together between the two. During transportation, the vibration transmitted to the inside of the box is absorbed through the elastic deformation of the spring and the buffering of the damper, effectively protecting the goods on the horizontal plate 10 and reducing damage from bumps.

[0022] Furthermore, four electric hydraulic cylinders 6 are evenly distributed on both sides of the cargo box 5. Each electric hydraulic cylinder 6 has a movable connecting block 61 at its top, which is fixedly connected to the cargo box 5. A pressure sensor is mounted on the movable connecting block 61. Specifically, the 44 cylinders are evenly distributed at the four corners of the vehicle base, with the top movable connecting block 61 connecting to the cargo box 5, forming a four-point symmetrical support to stably support the cargo box and goods. The pressure sensor on the connecting block can monitor the load to prevent overloading, while the hydraulic cylinders can adjust the height of the cargo box, adjusting its level in real time to prevent goods from shifting or slipping on sloping roads.

[0023] Furthermore, the tilt sensor 8 is electrically connected to the controller, one side of the first spring 11 is connected to the vehicle base 1, and the other side of the first spring 11 is connected to the bottom of the cargo box 5. Specifically, the tilt sensor 8 is connected to the controller to monitor the level of the cargo box in real time, facilitating timely adjustments to avoid tilting; the first spring 11 connects the vehicle base 1 and the cargo box 5, forming a flexible buffer to counteract the swaying of the cargo box during transportation and enhance overall stability.

[0024] Operating principle: Before use, check the connection status of each component to ensure that the wheel assembly 2 is firmly connected to the base 1 and steering device 3, the electric hydraulic cylinder 6 extends and retracts smoothly, and the battery 7 has sufficient power; calibrate the tilt sensor 8 through the controller to ensure accurate tilt angle detection and that the pressure sensor is in normal working condition; open the cover 4 on the top of the cargo box 5, place the goods to be transported on the cross plate 10, and close the cover 4; the pressure sensor on the movable connecting block 61 monitors the load in real time. If it does not exceed the rated load of the trolley, transportation can be started normally; if overloaded, the goods need to be reduced to within the rated load range.

[0025] The operator holds handle 31 and pushes the trolley along the port transport route. When turning, the operator turns handle 31, which drives the omnidirectional shock-absorbing front wheel 21 to turn via lever 32, push rod 34 and connecting rod 35. When traveling on bumpy roads, the shock-absorbing structure of wheel assembly 2 and the shock-absorbing assembly 9 inside the box work together to absorb vibrations and keep the cross plate 10 and the cargo stable. When traveling on sloping roads, tilt sensor 8 transmits tilt data to controller in real time. If tilting occurs, controller controls the extension and retraction of the corresponding electric hydraulic cylinder 6 on one side and controls the lowering of the electric hydraulic cylinder 6 on the other side to adjust the height of the cargo box 5 and keep the cargo box level. Pressure sensor continuously monitors the load to avoid local overloading caused by cargo shifting during transportation.

[0026] Upon arrival at the destination, open the hood 4, unload the goods from the crossbar 10, and close the hood 4; clean the inside of the cargo box 5, check that all parts are intact, and prepare for the next transport.
