[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 7 A tray includes a tray body 100, a left locking connector 200, and a right locking connector 300. The left locking connector 200 and the right locking connector 300 are fixedly disposed on the tray body 100 and arranged at intervals on the left and right sides. The left locking connector 200 and the right locking connector 300 extend from the front side of the tray body 100 and are at the same height relative to the tray surface of the tray body 100. The left locking connector 200 is provided with a left locking groove 210, and the right locking connector 300 is provided with a right locking groove 310. The opening of the left locking groove 210 is inclined relative to the vertical direction and faces downward to the left, and the opening of the right locking groove 310 is inclined relative to the vertical direction and faces downward to the right.

[0024] When the aforementioned tray is installed on a folding trolley, it can be connected via the left snap-fit ​​connector 200 and the right snap-fit ​​connector 300 to the two angled rods 410 of the folding frame of the folding trolley, with the angled openings facing upwards. The left snap-fit ​​connector 200 and the right snap-fit ​​connector 300 are respectively engaged downwards through the left snap-fit ​​groove 210 and the right snap-fit ​​groove 310 at the same height on the two rods 410, allowing the tray to be supported parallel to the ground on the two rods 410, thus completing the installation. The tray structure cleverly utilizes the two hinged rods 410 on the folding trolley, forming a triangular connection between the tray and the two rods 410, providing stable support. In addition, since it can be installed using the folding frame of the folding trolley itself, no additional adaptation of the folding trolley is required, making it highly adaptable.

[0025] In this embodiment, a left support rod 500 and a right support rod 600 are fixed to the lower side of the tray body 100. The left support rod 500 and the right support rod 600 are positioned left and right and abut against and support the tray body 100. A left snap-fit ​​connector 200 is fixed to the front end of the left support rod 500, and a right snap-fit ​​connector 300 is fixed to the front end of the right support rod 600. With the above structure, the tray body 100 can be supported by the left support rod 500 and the right support rod 600, which strengthens the strength of the tray body 100. Fixing the left snap-fit ​​connector 200 and the right snap-fit ​​connector 300 to the left support rod 500 and the right support rod 600 also improves the connection strength with the folding trolley.

[0026] In this embodiment, the left snap-fit ​​connector 200 is connected to a left insertion post 700, and the left support rod 500 is a tubular fitting. The left insertion post 700 is inserted into the front end of the left support rod 500, and a left fastener is provided to fasten both the left support rod 500 and the left insertion post 700. The right snap-fit ​​connector 300 is connected to a right insertion post 800, and the right support rod 600 is a tubular fitting. The right insertion post 800 is inserted into the front end of the right support rod 600, and a right fastener is provided to fasten both the right support rod 600 and the right insertion post 800. Using the above structure to install and fix the support rod and snap-fit ​​connector ensures a stable installation and good connection strength.

[0027] In one embodiment, the left insertion post 700 and the left snap-fit ​​connector 200 are integrally formed, and the right insertion post 800 and the right snap-fit ​​connector 300 are integrally formed, thereby facilitating manufacturing. In other embodiments, the insertion post and snap-fit ​​connector may not be integrally formed; for example, they may be separately formed and then connected and fixed together, and the connection and fixing method may be fastener fixing or welding fixing.

[0028] In this embodiment, the left and right fasteners can be screws, which are used to connect and fix the support rod and the plug post. Alternatively, rivets can be used for fixing, depending on the specific situation. It is conceivable that in some embodiments, the support rod and the snap-fit ​​connector may not require the above-described structure for connection; for example, they can be integrally molded, welded, snap-fitted, etc., depending on the specific situation.

[0029] In this embodiment, the left support rod 500 and the right support rod 600 can be fixed to the tray body 100 by means of screws, rivets or welding, etc.

[0030] In this embodiment, the left snap-fit ​​connector 200 and the right snap-fit ​​connector 300 abut against the front end face of the tray body 100, thereby supporting each other and achieving good structural strength.

[0031] In this embodiment, the tray body 100 is square. It is conceivable that the tray body 100 is not limited to being square; for example, it could be other shapes, such as oval or irregular shapes.

[0032] In this embodiment, the left support rod 500 and the right support rod 600 are arranged one behind the other and parallel to each other. It is conceivable that the left support rod 500 and the right support rod 600 may also be arranged at an angle relative to each other in the front-back direction, and are not limited to being arranged parallel to each other.

[0033] In this embodiment, the left support rod 500 and the right support rod 600 are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the pallet body 100, so as to provide balanced and stable support for the pallet body 100.

[0034] In one embodiment, the left snap-fit ​​connector 200 and the right snap-fit ​​connector 300 are fixedly mounted to the tray body 100 via the left support rod 500 and the right support rod 600, respectively. In some embodiments, the left snap-fit ​​connector 200 and the right snap-fit ​​connector 300 can also be directly fixed to the tray body 100.

[0035] In this embodiment, the left snap-fit ​​connector 200 has a U-shaped structure and includes a first base plate 220 and two first clamping plates 230. One end of each of the two first clamping plates 230 is connected to one end of the first base plate 220, and the two first clamping plates 230 and the first base plate 220 together form a left snap-fit ​​groove 210. The right snap-fit ​​connector 300 has a U-shaped structure and includes a second base plate 320 and two second clamping plates 330. One end of each of the two second clamping plates 330 is connected to one end of the second base plate 320, and the two second clamping plates 330 and the second base plate 320 together form a right snap-fit ​​groove 310.

[0036] In this embodiment, the other ends of the two first clamping plates 230 are provided with mutually aligned left locking holes 231, and the other ends of the two second clamping plates 330 are provided with mutually aligned right locking holes 331. With the above structure, the locking connector can be locked by further connecting pins or threaded fasteners to the locking holes, thus preventing the tray from easily falling out of its installation position.

[0037] In this embodiment, the tray body 100 is provided with a storage slot 110, which facilitates stable placement of items. In this embodiment, the tray body 100 is a sheet metal component, with its four sides folded upwards to form flanges that enclose the storage slot 110. Using the above structure to form the storage slot 110 results in a simple structure that is easy to implement.

[0038] This utility model provides a folding trolley, comprising: a trolley body 400 and a tray according to a first aspect of this utility model. The trolley body 400 is composed of a folding frame, which is formed by hinged rods 410. The folding frame includes two rods 410 at an angle, each extending obliquely upward. The tray is attached to the two rods 410 via a left locking connector 200 and a right locking connector 300. The left locking connector 200 receives and engages one rod 410 via a left locking groove 210, and the right locking connector 300 receives and engages the other rod 410 via a right locking groove 310. The folding trolley described above features a simple and stable tray installation.

[0039] In this embodiment, folding racks are provided on all four sides of the vehicle body 400, and the tray is suitable for installation on the folding rack on any side, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the tray position for use.
