DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features of the embodiments can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below based on the embodiments with reference to the drawings.

[0020] 1 to 10, the present invention provides a cart stand. The cart stand of this embodiment includes a support 10, a sliding member 20 slidably mounted on the support 10, an elastic member 30 mounted on the support 10, a first connecting member 40, a first interlocking member A movable along a first predetermined locus, the first connecting member 40 having a first end connected to the sliding member 20 and a second end interlocked with the first interlocking member A, a second interlocking member B interlocked with the first interlocking member A and movable along a second predetermined locus, the first end of the first interlocking member A being interlocked with the second interlocking member B, and the second interlocking member B being interlocked with the first interlocking member A. and a second connecting member 50 having a first end connected to the first interlocking member A and a second end connected to the elastic member 30. When the sliding member 20 slides relative to the support 10, the first interlocking member A moves along a first predetermined locus, and the second interlocking member B moves along a second predetermined locus, and the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 move, thereby carrying and deforming the elastic member 30. The sliding member 20 has a hanging support position, and the second interlocking member B is movable along a predetermined direction relative to the first interlocking member A so as to adapt to supported objects with different gravitational forces.

[0021] By configuring the cart stand as described above, the sliding member has a hanging support position through the interlocking of the first interlocking member A and the second interlocking member B, allowing for the hanging of heavy objects at different heights. Furthermore, because the second interlocking member B is movable in a predetermined direction, the point of application of the elastic member interlocked with the second interlocking member B can be changed, allowing for adaptation to heavy objects with different gravitational forces, such as display panels.

[0022] The first interlocking member A and / or the second interlocking member B are pin shafts. Of course, they may also be rolling wheels or rotating wheels. In the present invention and the embodiments thereof, the second interlocking member B is a pin shaft and the first interlocking member A is a pulley. Interlocking connection means that the interlocking members (including the first interlocking member A and the second interlocking member B) can interlock the connected structures and play the role of transmitting motion. The predetermined direction of the second interlocking member B means the axial direction of the screw, i.e., the lengthwise extension direction of the guide hole.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 3, the cart stand further includes a pole cover plate 90 connected to the pole 10 .

[0024] 9 and 10, in one embodiment of the present invention, a first pulley group including a plurality of first pulleys 21 is provided on the side of the sliding member 20 facing the support post 10. A second pulley group including a plurality of second pulleys 22 is provided on the side of the sliding member 20, and the plurality of second pulleys 22 are provided on both opposing side surfaces of the sliding member 20, respectively, and the plurality of second pulleys 22 located on the same side surface are provided offset, and the sliding member 20 is slidably fitted to the support post 10 via the first pulley group and the second pulley group.

[0025] Specifically, the number of the multiple first pulleys 21 is four, and the four first pulleys 21 are provided at four corner positions on the back surface of the sliding member 20, and the four first pulleys 21 abut against the left and right side surfaces of the support 10, respectively, to achieve left and right positioning. In addition, four second pulleys 22 are provided on the left and right side surfaces of the sliding member 20, and the second pulleys 22 abut against the rails of the support 10 to achieve front and rear positioning. This allows the sliding member 20 to slide freely on the support 10, and prevents shaking.

[0026] 1, in one embodiment of the present invention, the cart stand further includes a crossbar 23 and a hanging arm 24 connected to the crossbar 23, the crossbar 23 is connected to the sliding member 20, and the hanging arm 24 is used to connect a supported object such as a display panel. Preferably, a base 15 is provided at the bottom of the support 10, and rollers are provided on the base 15 to facilitate movement of the entire cart stand.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cart stand further includes a pivot structure 60 pivotally connected to the support 10, wherein a first interlocking member A and a second interlocking member B are both provided on the pivot structure 60, the second interlocking member B is located between the pivot point between the pivot structure 60 and the support 10 and the first interlocking member A, the pivot structure 60 is arranged to be swingable around the pivot point, and the second interlocking member B is slidably fitted into the pivot structure 60.

[0028] In the above installation, the pivoting structure 60 can be used to achieve free pivoting on the support 10 .

[0029] In one embodiment, the second linking member B, the first linking member A and the pivot point form a triangular structure.

[0030] By arranging them in this manner, there is no interference between the movement processes of the first interlocking member A and the second interlocking member B, the longitudinal dimension of the pivoting structure 60 is minimized, and the overall structure of the pivoting structure 60 equipped with the first interlocking member A and the second interlocking member B can be ensured to be compact.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first preset trajectory and the second preset trajectory are both arc-shaped, and the radius of the second preset trajectory is less than or equal to the radius of the first preset trajectory.

[0032] When the first interlocking member A and the second interlocking member B have different movement trajectories, for example, when the radius of the trajectory of the first interlocking member A is fixed and the radius of the trajectory of the second interlocking member B is adjustable, gravity acts on the first interlocking member A and the elastic force of the elastic member 30 acts on the second interlocking member B, so that the movement trajectory of the second interlocking member B can be adjusted according to the weight of the supported object, such as a display panel. The above adjustment process is convenient and easy to operate.

[0033] Note that the radius of the second preset trajectory is equal to the radius of the first preset trajectory means that the two trajectories overlap into one trajectory.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 5 , in one embodiment of the present invention, the cart stand further includes an adjustment structure 80 for adjusting the position of the second interlocking member B. The adjustment structure 80 includes a screw 82 and an adjustment member 81 connected to the screw 82. The screw 82 is rotatably fixed to the pivoting structure 60. The screw 82 is inserted into the second interlocking member B and threadedly engaged with the second interlocking member B. Twisting the adjustment member 81 causes the second interlocking member B to move linearly along the axial direction of the screw 82. The pivoting structure includes a first pivoting member 61 and a second pivoting member 62 arranged opposite each other. The first pivoting member 61 is provided with a pivot shaft 63, a second interlocking member B, and a fixed shaft 64, in that order. The screw 82 passes through the pivot shaft 63, the second interlocking member, and the fixed shaft 64 before connecting to the locking member 83. The second pivoting member 62 is fixedly connected to the first pivoting member 61.

[0035] The first interlocking member A is pivotally connected between the first rotating member 61 and the second rotating member 62. The adjustment structure 80 adjusts the second interlocking member B so that it is movable along the axial direction of the screw 82. At the same time, one end of the elastic member 30 is connected to the second interlocking member B, so that the point of application of the elastic member 30 on the first rotating member 61 can be changed as the second interlocking member B moves, making it possible to adapt to display panels with different gravitational forces. In addition, by utilizing the form in which the screw 82 and the second interlocking member B are threadedly connected, the rotational movement of the screw 82 can be converted into linear movement of the second interlocking member B, and this adjustment method is simple and easy to operate.

[0036] 4, in order to guide the movement direction of the second interlocking member B, two guide holes are preferably provided in each of the first rotating member 61 and the second rotating member 62, and two corresponding guide holes are provided, and a part of the structure of the second interlocking member B is inserted into the two guide holes, so that the second interlocking member B can slide along the guide holes. Preferably, the length extension direction of the two guide holes is parallel to the axial direction of the screw 82.

[0037] 2, in one embodiment of the present invention, an operating hole 11 corresponding to the adjustment member 81 is provided on the side wall of the support 10 to facilitate operation of the adjustment member 81. In this way, a tool such as a wrench 14 can be passed through the support 10 to directly twist the screw 82, adjusting the point of application of the elastic member 30 to the pivot structure 60 and changing the moment of the elastic force on the pivot structure 60, thereby making it possible to accommodate display panels of different weights.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first connecting member 40 is a rope, and the cart stand further includes a first guide member 71 connected to the support 10. One end of the rope is looped around the fixed pulley 16 and then connected to the sliding member 20, and the other end of the rope is looped around the first guide member 71 and then interlocked with the first interlocking member A. The first guide member 71 includes a first guide wheel 711 and a second guide wheel 712 arranged coaxially, the radius of the first guide wheel 711 being larger than the radius of the second guide wheel 712, and the other end of the rope is looped around the first guide wheel 711 and the second guide wheel 712 in sequence and then interlocked with the first interlocking member A.

[0039] When relative movement occurs between the sliding member 20 and the support 10, the rope moves, transmitting power to the second connecting member 50 and deforming the elastic member 30. The first guide member 71 changes the stroke of the sliding member 20. Because the rotation angle of the pivoting structure 60 is limited, the first guide member 71 does not have a second guide wheel 712. If the force acts directly on the pivoting structure 60 via the first guide wheel 711, the number of rotations of the first guide wheel 711 will be reduced, affecting the stroke of the sliding member 20. In this embodiment, the first guide member 71 includes two guide wheels with different radii. This keeps the rope at one end of the elastic member 30 taut, ensuring smooth power transmission to the pivoting structure 60. The proportion of variable-diameter wheels also reduces the strain on the elastic member while increasing the stroke of the sliding member 20.

[0040] Of course, in optional embodiments, the first guide member 71 may not be provided, or the first guide member 71 may include two pulleys.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the elastic member 30 is a spring. The number of springs may be one or multiple springs arranged in parallel. One end of the spring is connected to the support 10, and the other end of the spring is connected to the second connecting member 50. The initial tension of the spring is preset and does not need to be adjusted. In this embodiment, one end of the spring is tensioned and attached to the support 10 by a screw, which makes installation easy. Of course, one end of the spring can also be used as a hook to directly hang on the support 10, but in that case, a tool must be used to unfold the spring and hang it on the support 10.

[0042] 6, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first guide member 71 has a plurality of spaced apart tooth grooves on the outer side of its axial end surface, and the cart stand further includes a rotation stopper 74 and a mounting seat 73. The mounting seat 73 is fixedly connected to the support 10, and the rotation stopper 74 is movably mounted relative to the mounting seat 73, having a first position where it engages with the tooth grooves and a second position where it disengages from the tooth grooves. The cart stand further includes a knob 75 threadedly attached to the mounting seat 73, and the end of the knob 75 that passes through the mounting seat 73 is connected to the rotation stopper 74, allowing the rotation stopper 74 to move axially along the knob 75.

[0043] In this way, by twisting the knob 75, the anti-rotation device 74 can be moved along with it, allowing the anti-rotation device 74 to be engaged and disengaged with the tooth groove, making the above operation easy. Furthermore, when the anti-rotation device 74 engages with the tooth groove, the first guide member 71 cannot rotate, thereby fixing the sliding member 20 in a certain position. As shown in FIG. 5 , in one embodiment of the present invention, the second connecting member 50 is a chain, and the cart stand further includes a second guide member 72 connected to the support 10. The second guide member 72 is used to guide the chain and transmit the acting force to the elastic member 30. The second guide member 72 is a sprocket, and there are two sprockets, each located on either side of the chain in the width direction.

[0044] Preferably, anti-rotation device 74 is provided with at least one mounting through-hole, and mounting seat 73 is provided with a pin shaft that fits into the mounting through-hole. This allows anti-rotation device 74 to be assembled to mounting seat 73. With this installation, after knob 75 is twisted, anti-rotation device 74 can move along the axial direction of the pin shaft.

[0045] By using a chain as the second connecting member 50, the chain has a certain rigidity relative to the rope, ensuring stable transmission of the acting force and ensuring smooth movement. The second guide member 72 not only serves to guide the chain, but also transmits the acting force to the elastic member 30 via the chain while the chain is moving.

[0046] In another optional embodiment, the second connecting member 50 may be a connecting rope and the second guiding member 72 may be a guiding pulley accordingly.

[0047] In this embodiment of the present invention, the rope serving as the first connecting member 40 has a stopper block attached to the first guide member 71, which has a corresponding groove. In this way, a pulling force applied to one end of the rope does not affect the other end, and one rope corresponds to two ropes. When one end of the rope located on the first guide wheel 711 is pulled, the rope is wound around the first guide wheel 711 several times, causing the first guide wheel 711 to rotate. As a result, the rope pulling one end of the second guide wheel 712 begins to be wound around the second guide wheel 712, pulling the rotating plate.

[0048] To prevent the stopper block from falling out of the groove, a cover plate is attached to the first guide member 71. Each of the first guide wheels 711 is provided with a threaded rib, which allows the ropes to be separated so that they do not come into contact with each other, preventing the ropes from coming into contact and wearing out and breaking during reeling, and also preventing the ropes from coming into contact and generating abnormal noise during reeling.

[0049] 7 and 8, in one embodiment of the present invention, a first stopper and a second stopper are provided on the support 10 to define the limit positions to which the sliding member 20 can move relative to the support 10, i.e., to restrict the sliding range of the sliding member 20. The second stopper is located between the first stopper and the pivot structure 60, and the first stopper is used to define the limit position to which the sliding member can slide upward, while the second stopper is used to define the limit position to which the sliding member 20 can slide downward. In FIG. 7, the sliding member 20 is in a first position, and in FIG. 8, the sliding member 20 is in a second position, and the first position is higher than the second position.

[0050] Preferably, the sliding member 20 is a sliding panel.

[0051] The exercise process will be described below with reference to FIGS.

[0052] When a heavy load is attached to the sliding panel and the sliding panel is pulled downward to pull the rope, the rope is first wound around the first guide wheel 711 of the first guide member 71 several times, causing the first guide member 71 to rotate clockwise, and at this time the second guide wheel 712 of the first guide member 71 also pulls the rope in synchronization, pulling the rotating structure 60 and rotating it counterclockwise.

[0053] On the other hand, since the spring is attached to the sprocket via a chain and acts on the sliding axis of the rotating structure 60, a clockwise moment is generated on the rotating structure 60, which offsets the moment of gravity on the rotating structure 60 and allows the heavy object to be stopped freely at a certain position.

[0054] If the sliding panel is continued to be pulled downward, the angle of the spring force acting on the pivoting structure 60 will constantly change as the pivoting structure 60 continues to rotate, the spring will also constantly be pulled, the value of the spring force will constantly change, and while gravity will not change, the angle at which the component force generated by gravity acts on the pivoting structure 60 will also constantly change. Based on these known conditions, computer motion simulation can be used to make the gravity torque and the spring torque equal at any angle of the pivoting structure 60, and the specific parameters and position of the spring's point of application can be obtained. This allows the sliding panel to be freely stopped at any position.

[0055] 11 to 14, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first connecting member 40 is a rope, and the cart stand further includes a mounting seat 9 connected to the support 10 and a third connecting member 12 fixedly installed relative to the mounting seat 9, with a fixed pulley 16 provided on the mounting seat 9. One end of the first connecting member 40 is hung around the fixed pulley 16 and then connected to the sliding member 20, and the other end of the first connecting member 40 is hung around the first interlocking member A and then connected to the third connecting member 12. A locking device is provided on the mounting seat 9, and the locking device is provided corresponding to the fixed pulley 16 and has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking device is in the locked state, it locks the rope to the fixed pulley 16, and when the locking device is in the unlocked state, it unlocks the rope.

[0056] The third connecting member 12 is fixedly installed relative to the mounting seat 9. It may be directly attached and fixed to the mounting seat 9, or directly fixedly connected to the support column 10, thereby providing a fixed connection end for the first connecting member 40 and allowing the other end of the first connecting member 40 to be fixed to the mounting seat 9. A fixed pulley 16 is provided on the mounting seat 9, one end of the first connecting member 40 is hung on the fixed pulley 16 and then connected to the sliding member 20, and the other end of the first connecting member 40 is hung on the first interlocking member A and then connected to the third connecting member 12. During the up and down movement of the sliding member 20, one end of the first connecting member 40 moves up and down together with the sliding member 20 to adjust the length of the first connecting member 40 located between the mounting seat 9 and the pivoting structure 60, and further adjust the swing position of the pivoting structure 60, thereby deforming the elastic member 30. At the same time, by adjusting the position of the second interlocking member B, the point of action of the elastic member 30 on the first rotating member 61 can be changed, so as to adapt to display panels of different gravity so that the sliding member 20 is in the hanging position.

[0057] When the sliding member 20 is in the hanging position, the locking device on the mounting base 9 can be operated to lock the rope to the fixed pulley 16, thus locking the display in its current position and preventing it from moving up or down. Even if the rope breaks, the rope connected to the sliding member 20 can still be locked by the locking device on the fixed pulley 16, preventing the display from falling directly, further protecting the display and preventing damage to the display due to rope breakage, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the cart stand. After the locking device is released, the display can still be freely adjusted in height by the sliding member 20 without affecting the adjustment of the hanging position of the sliding member 20.

[0058] In one embodiment, the mounting seat 9 includes two opposing upright plates 91 and a connecting plate 92 connected between the two opposing upright plates 91, the fixed pulley 16 is attached between the two upright plates 91, and both ends of the third connecting member 12 are attached to the two opposing upright plates 91, respectively. A loop 41 is provided at the second end of the rope, and the loop 41 is hooked on the third connecting member 12. The locking device includes a presser block 93 and an adjustment assembly connected to the presser block 93, and the adjustment assembly can adjust the distance between the presser block 93 and the fixed pulley 16, thereby allowing the presser block 93 to lock the rope to the fixed pulley 16 or release the lock of the rope by the presser block 93.

[0059] The mounting base 9 has a U-shaped structure, and two opposing upright plates 91 can be used to attach and support the third connecting member 12. A loop 41 is provided at the second end of the rope, facilitating the connection and fixation of the rope to the third connecting member 12. The pressure block 93 is located between the connecting plate 92 and the fixed pulley 16. By narrowing the gap between the pressure block 93 and the fixed pulley 16 using the adjustment assembly, the rope can be pressed against the fixed pulley 16, locking the pressure block 93 and the fixed pulley 16. As a result, the rope is clamped between the pressure block 93 and the fixed pulley 16 and cannot move, thereby locking the rope by the pressure block 93. When unlocking is required, the gap between the pressure block 93 and the fixed pulley 16 can be widened using the adjustment assembly to release the contact between the pressure block 93 and the rope and the fixed pulley 16. At this time, the rope can move around the fixed pulley 16, thereby unlocking the rope.

[0060] In one embodiment, the device includes a torsion member 94 and a threaded member 95, and the threaded member 95 includes a threaded portion 951 and a shank portion 952. The torsion member 94 is provided on a side of the connecting plate 92 away from the fixed pulley 16, the threaded portion 951 is fixedly connected to the torsion member 94, and the shank portion 952 is provided at an end of the threaded portion 951 away from the torsion member 94. The retaining block 93 is provided on a side of the connecting plate 92 away from the torsion member 94 and is positioned between the connecting plate 92 and the fixed pulley 16. A threaded hole 921 is provided in the connecting plate 92, and the threaded portion 951 is threadably engageable with the threaded hole 921. The retaining block 93 is rotatably connected to the shank portion 952 and forms an axial position restriction between the retaining block 93 and the shank portion 952.

[0061] A handle is provided on the top of the twisting member 94 to facilitate twisting of the twisting member 94. The threaded portion 951 is fixedly connected to the twisting member 94, and twisting the twisting member 94 rotates the threaded member 95 along with it, thereby enabling the threaded member 95 to be threaded forward and backward. The twisting member 94 may be formed separately from the threaded member 95 and then fixedly connected thereto by interference fit or welding, or may be formed integrally with the threaded member 95. Axial positioning is restricted between the holding block 93 and the shank portion 952, allowing the two to rotate relative to each other in the circumferential direction. As the twisting member 94 rotates the threaded member 95, the threaded portion 951 of the threaded member 95 is threaded into the threaded hole 921 of the connecting plate 92, forming a threaded engagement. Through the screwing action, the threaded member 95 moves the pressure block 93 toward the fixed pulley 16, and in the process, the width of the pressure block 93 fits the width between the two upright plates 91, and the position restricting action of the upright plates 91 on both sides prevents the pressure block 93 from rotating together with the threaded member 95, ensuring the precision of the fitting position between the pressure block 93 and the fixed pulley 16. Furthermore, because axial position restriction is formed between the pressure block 93 and the shank portion 952, the pressure block 93 can move toward the fixed pulley 16 together with the threaded member 95, and the axial movement of the threaded member 95 can be used to easily move the pressure block 93 in the axial direction, thereby realizing the rope locking and unlocking operations.

[0062] In one embodiment, the pressure block 93 includes a pressure projection 931 that protrudes toward the chute of the fixed pulley 16, and the pressure projection 931 has a concave surface that fits the rope. The pressure block 93 has a stepped hole 932 that extends therethrough, and the stepped hole 932 has a small hole portion and a large hole portion. A connection hole 953 is formed at the end of the shank portion 952, and a screw 101 is provided in the pressure block 93. The screw 101 passes through the small hole portion of the stepped hole 932 and connects to the connection hole 953, and the head of the screw 101 rests on the stepped surface of the stepped hole 932. The shank portion 952 has a stop step 954, and the pressure block 93 rests on the stop step 954.

[0063] The pressing protrusion 931 protrudes toward the chute and its shape matches the chute, ensuring a matching relationship between the pressing protrusion 931 and the chute. This allows the pressing protrusion 931 to be smoothly inserted into the chute without being obstructed by the wheel edges on both sides of the chute. The pressing surface of the pressing protrusion 931 is concave to match the shape of the rope. This allows the pressing protrusion 931 to conform to the surface of the rope when pressing the rope, creating a large contact area with the rope and ensuring the effectiveness of the pressure block 93 in pressing the rope. A stepped hole can be formed in the pressure block 93, allowing the screw 101 to be positioned within the countersunk hole after connecting the pressure block 93 and the shank 952 within the stepped hole 932. This allows the screw 101 to be positioned inside the concave surface of the pressing protrusion 931, preventing interference with the pressure fit between the pressing protrusion 931 and the rope. After the screw 101 is fixedly connected to the shank portion 952, it cooperates with the stop step 954 to form an axial position restriction for the holding block 93, and since the holding block 93 is sleeved on the outside of the shank portion 952, free rotation of the holding block 93 relative to the screw-attaching member 95 can be ensured.

[0064] In one embodiment, a spring 96 is provided between the torsion member 94 and the connecting plate 92, the spring 96 being sleeved onto the outside of the threaded member 95, with one end of the spring 96 abutting the torsion member 94 and the other end of the spring 96 abutting the connecting plate 92.

[0065] A spring 96 is provided between the torsion member 94 and the connecting plate 92. After the torsion member 94 carries the screw member 95 and screws it out of the connecting plate 92, the elastic force of the spring 96 presses the retaining block 93 against the inner surface of the connecting plate 92, thereby securing the locking device to the mounting seat 9. This avoids the problem of noise being generated when the locking device is free to move relative to the mounting seat 9 after the screw member 95 is screwed out of the connecting plate 92 during use.

[0066] In one embodiment, the second connecting member 50 is a chain, and the cart stand further includes a second guide member 72 connected to the support pole 10. The second guide member 72 is used to guide the chain and transmit the force to the elastic member 30. The second guide member 72 is a sprocket, and there is one sprocket. In this embodiment, the elastic member 30 is a spring, and this spring is provided on one side of the support pole 10. Therefore, when installing the spring, simply providing the second guide member 72 at the spring's mounting position allows the chain to be guided by the sprocket. After being guided by the sprocket, the extension direction of the chain is aligned with the axial direction of the spring in its natural state, preventing the spring from separating during operation and improving the operating efficiency of the spring.

[0067] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-described embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects. The cart stand of the present application allows the sliding member to have a suspension support position through the interlocking of the first interlocking member A and the second interlocking member B, thereby enabling the suspension of heavy objects at different heights. Furthermore, because the second interlocking member B is movable along a predetermined direction, the point of application of the elastic member interlocked with the second interlocking member B can be changed, allowing the cart stand to accommodate heavy objects with different gravitational forces, such as display panels.
