Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shopping carts, and more particularly to a portable shopping cart that can serve as a seat anytime and anywhere. [Background technology]
[0002] In daily life, how people carry their purchases home after shopping at supermarkets or farmers' markets is a very difficult task, especially for the elderly, who will undoubtedly bear a heavy burden on them, so a portable shopping cart is indeed a good choice. In the process of walking and dragging heavy objects for a long time, people will inevitably take a break. However, the shopping carts currently on the market do not have the function of allowing people to rest as a seat, and are only used to drag items. The portable seats on the market also only have the function of a seat. The two are mainly independent individuals with a single function, large occupancy area, and inconvenience of use.
[0003] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a shopping cart that can serve as a seat anytime and anywhere, and can be transformed into a seat for resting anytime and anywhere while dragging heavy objects. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a portable shopping cart that can be transformed into a seat for taking a rest anytime and anywhere while dragging heavy objects by installing a seat on the shopping cart body, and can serve as a seat anytime and anywhere. Furthermore, the shopping cart can be folded quickly, and the folded shopping cart has a small occupancy area, convenience of transportation and carrying, and beautiful overall appearance, thereby meeting the needs of consumers.

[0011] In addition, the specially shaped track cutout is a T-shaped opening, and an inner hook portion is disposed in this opening so that the positioning post is unlikely to protrude.
[0012] Additionally, the end of the positioning post is provided with a bulge.
[0013] The handle is also an adjustable handle with multiple rotation angles in multiple gears. When a break is needed, the handle is rotated and tilted to a suitable position. At this point, the handle can serve as a chair backrest.
[0014] The seat portion has a rectangular frame structure and is fixedly connected to the upper portion of the column support frame.
[0015] Furthermore, the bottom support frame is a rectangular frame structure and includes a horizontal brace and a vertical brace, and two support legs are provided at the bottom of one end, which adopt the support legs that are individually and fixedly welded to the vertical brace of the bottom support frame, or the ends of the vertical brace of the bottom support frame are bent to form the support legs, or individual plastic pieces are adopted as the support legs. The entire shopping cart is supported by four support legs when standing, which are respectively two support legs of the column support frame and two support legs arranged at one end of the bottom support frame.
[0016] Furthermore, the column support frame includes two columns, and a horizontal brace is disposed between the two columns. The horizontal brace is not only used to increase the strength, but also to assist the folding action of the bottom support frame.
[0017] The fabric pocket is also placed directly on the bottom support frame and fixed to the body at both sides and bottom by tear-off fasteners, and the fabric pocket is also provided with a soft cushion adapted to the seat to increase the comfort level. Specifically, during the process of use:
[0018] In the initial state, when the main body is in the folded state, the handle is rotated to the same extension plane as the support column frame. Then the bottom support frame is expanded. At this time, the rotation support control piece rotates around the lower positioning column. Meanwhile, the upper positioning column enters the special-shaped track notch of the rotation support control piece, and then the bottom support frame is pressed down. The upper positioning column enters the special-shaped track notch to achieve positioning. At this time, the bottom support frame is firmly supported on the ground.
[0019] When the body needs to be folded, one end of the bottom support frame near the column support frame is lifted. At this point, the upper positioning column is separated from the specially shaped track cutout, and then the bottom support frame can be rotated around the lower positioning column to fold. The bottom support frame is fixed to the column support frame by a tear-off fastener. The handle is then rotated to fold.
[0020] When a break is needed while walking and dragging a heavy object, the handlebars can be regulated and tilted to a comfortable position so that the user can sit on the seat and rest, with their back resting against the handlebars. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and positive effects:
[0021] (1) The portable shopping cart of the present invention realizes the functions of both a shopping cart and a seat, and can be converted into a seat anytime and anywhere, and the handle can serve as a chair back with high comfort.
[0022] (2) When not in use, the shopping cart can be folded for storage, reducing storage and transportation space. The rotation positioning mechanism of the bottom support frame is ingenious in design, novel in concept, and convenient in operation.
[0023] In conclusion, the portable shopping cart of the present invention has multiple uses, allowing consumers to enjoy the functionality of shopping and seating for the cost of one cart, resulting in a very high performance-price ratio, conservation and environmental protection.
