[0044] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of this disclosure can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] The following descriptions of directions such as front, back, left, right, up, and down are defined with reference to the directions observed by the user when using the vehicle, and are intended only to clearly illustrate the relative positional relationships of the various components in the vehicle.

[0046] Referring to Figures 1 and 4, a vehicle includes a frame body, a first wheel assembly 210, and a second wheel assembly 220. The frame body has a base frame 110, on which a connecting structure is provided. The first wheel assembly 210 includes a first wheel seat 211 and a first wheel body 212 rotatably mounted on the first wheel seat 211 about a first axis X1. The first wheel seat 211 has a first mating structure that can be detachably connected to the connecting structure. The second wheel assembly 220 includes a second wheel seat 221 and a second wheel body 222 rotatably mounted on the second wheel seat 221 about a second axis X2. The diameter of the second wheel body 222 is larger than the diameter of the first wheel body 212. The second wheel seat 221 has a second mating structure that can be detachably connected to the connecting structure. The first wheel assembly and the second wheel assembly can be used interchangeably, and the user can choose to connect either the first wheel assembly 210 or the second wheel assembly 220 to the frame body according to different usage scenarios or different usage needs.

[0047] The vehicle has a first state where the first wheel assembly 210 is connected to the frame body, and a second state where the second wheel assembly 220 is connected to the frame body. Because the first wheel assembly 210 is smaller, the vehicle is more agile in the first state when moving and turning. The larger second wheel assembly 220 provides better grip, maintaining stability at higher speeds, and is also more durable and has a longer service life. Therefore, in the second state, the vehicle is suitable for scenarios requiring high speeds, high stability, or high wheel assembly durability. For example, in this second state, the vehicle is suitable for being fixed to the back of a bicycle or other movable vehicle, towed by the bicycle or other movable vehicle, and used as a trailer.

[0048] In the first state, the first mating structure on the first wheel assembly 210 engages with the connecting structure on the chassis 110, creating a first vertical distance between the chassis 110 and the first axle centerline X1. In the second state, the second mating structure on the second wheel assembly 220 engages with the connecting structure on the chassis 110, creating a second vertical distance between the chassis 110 and the second axle centerline X2. The first distance is greater than the second distance, ensuring that the bottom surface of the vehicle frame is at approximately the same vertical height in both states. This prevents the vehicle frame from being excessively raised after replacing the first wheel assembly 210 with the second wheel assembly 220, or excessively lowered after replacing the second wheel assembly 220 with the first wheel assembly 210, thus avoiding any impact on load-bearing stability.

[0049] Specifically, referring to Figure 7, the connecting structure on the base frame 110 includes a connector 130 extending downward from the base frame 110. The connector 130 can connect to either the first mating structure or the second mating structure. When the connector 130 mates with the first mating structure, the connector 130 is entirely located above the first axis X1; when the connector 130 mates with the second mating structure, at least a portion of the connector 130 is located below the second axis X2. This reduces the distance between the second axis X2 and the base frame 110, effectively reducing the second distance. Consequently, when the second wheel assembly 220 is connected to the connecting structure, the base frame 110 does not rise excessively upwards, ensuring that the vertical height of the base frame 110 is substantially the same in both the first and second states of the vehicle.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first mating structure includes a connecting body 213 protruding from the first wheel seat 211 toward the plug 130, as shown in Figure 3. The connecting body 213 protrudes upward from the first wheel seat 211, and a mating structure is provided between the connecting body 213 and the plug 130. When the connecting body 213 and the plug 130 are mated, the length of the mating body is greater than the length of either the connecting body 213 or the plug 130. Specifically, the mating structure includes a mating groove 214, which is provided on one of the connecting body 213 and the plug 130. The other part can be mated and inserted into the mating groove 214. The depth of the mating groove 214 is less than the length of the connecting body 213 and the length of the plug 130.

[0051] Referring to Figure 6, in this embodiment, the second mating structure is a plug groove 223 provided on the second wheel seat 221, and at least a portion of the plug 130 can be mated in the plug groove 223.

[0052] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 7, the connector 130 gradually extends backward from top to bottom, and the first mating structure and the second mating structure are detachably mated and connected to the connector 130 along the length extension direction of the connector 130.

[0053] Referring to Figure 3, in this embodiment, the engagement groove 214 is disposed on the connecting body 213, which extends upward and forward inclinedly from the first wheel seat 211. The engagement groove 214 also gradually extends forward inclinedly from bottom to top, and the entire engagement groove 214 is located above the first axis X1. In this embodiment, the insertion groove 223 extends downward and backward from above the second axis X2, and extends to the rear side of the second axis X2 and below the second axis X2. Thus, when the connector 12 is inserted into the insertion groove 223, at least a portion of the connector 130 is located below the second axis X2.

[0054] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 6, the second wheel seat 221 is provided with a protrusion 2211. The protrusion 2211 is generally arranged in an extension direction perpendicular to the connector 130. The connector groove 223 is provided on the protrusion 2211, and the protrusion 2211 extends in a direction away from the connector 130. Specifically, the second wheel seat 221 includes a wheel seat body 2210, the protrusion 2211 extends rearward from the wheel seat body 2210, and the second wheel seat 221 also includes a connecting portion 2212 extending in a left-right direction. The connecting portion 2212 extends from the wheel seat body 2210 to the outside of the frame body, and the second wheel 222 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting portion 2212 away from the wheel seat body 2210. Referring to Figure 6, here, the protrusion 2211 extends from above the connecting portion 2212 to the rear side of the connecting portion 2212.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first wheel assembly 210 has two first wheel seats 211 and two first wheel bodies 212, each spaced apart along the extension direction of the first axis X1; the second wheel assembly 220 has two second wheel seats 221 and two second wheel bodies 222, each spaced apart along the extension direction of the second axis X2. The first mating structure, the second mating structure, and the connecting structure are all arranged in two sets at intervals, with the same spacing between the two sets of first mating structures, the same spacing between the two sets of second mating structures, and the same spacing between the two sets of connecting structures.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first wheel assembly 210 includes a first connecting arm 215 fixed between two first wheel seats 211, which allows the first wheel assembly 210 to be integrally connected to or detached from the frame body. Similarly, in this embodiment, the second wheel assembly 220 includes a second connecting arm 224 fixed between two second wheel seats 221, which allows the second wheel assembly 220 to be integrally connected to or detached from the frame body.

[0057] In this embodiment, the connecting structure is located at the rear of the vehicle frame body, and the vehicle also includes a push rod frame 500, a tow bar 400, and a third wheel assembly 300. The push rod frame 500 is movably connected to the vehicle frame body and has an open position relative to the vehicle frame body and a folded position relative to the vehicle frame body. The tow bar 400 and the third wheel assembly 300 are respectively foldable or detachably connected to the vehicle frame body.

[0058] In the first state, as shown in Figure 1, the third wheel assembly 300 is installed at the bottom front of the frame body, the first wheel assembly 210 is installed at the bottom rear of the frame body, the push rod frame 500 is in the open position, and the tow bar 400 is folded relative to the frame body or detached from the frame body. In this state, the first wheel assembly 210 and the third wheel assembly 300 together maintain the stability of the frame body, so that the vehicle as a whole is stably supported on the ground and can move relative to the ground. The vehicle can be used as a standalone trolley or trailer for transporting goods or carrying children.

[0059] In the second state, as shown in Figure 4, the third wheel assembly 300 is folded down relative to or detached from the frame body, the second wheel assembly 220 is mounted on the bottom rear of the frame body, the push rod bracket 500 is in the folded position, and the tow bar 400 extends forward from the front of the frame body. In this state, the vehicle can be secured to the rear of a bicycle or other movable vehicle via the tow bar 400.

[0060] In this embodiment, a mounting base 120 is fixedly provided at the front of the vehicle frame body. One end of the tow bar 400 can be detachably connected to the mounting base 120 via a connector 430. When the vehicle is in a first state, the tow bar 400 is detached from the mounting base 120; when the vehicle is in a second state, the tow bar 400 is connected to the mounting base 120. Specifically, as shown in Figure 8, the mounting base 120 has a mounting hole 121, and one end of the tow bar 400 can be inserted into the mounting hole 121. As shown in Figure 5, the tow bar 400 includes a bar body 410 and a plug-in portion 420 extending from one end of the bar body 410. The plug-in portion 420 extends in the left-right direction and can be inserted into the mounting hole 121.

[0061] In this embodiment, the connector 430 detachably connects the mounting base 120 and the traction rod 400 along a connection direction that extends perpendicular to the direction in which the traction rod 400 is inserted into the mounting hole 121. Specifically, referring to Figure 8, the connector 430 can be a locking pin. Both the mounting base 120 and the insertion portion 420 of the traction rod 400 are provided with locking holes. When the connector 430 is inserted into the locking hole of the mounting base 120 and simultaneously into the locking hole of the insertion portion 420, the locking pin locks the mounting base 120 and the traction rod 400, preventing them from being separated. In this embodiment, when the locking pin is inserted vertically into the locking holes of the interconnected mounting base 120 and the insertion portion 420, it locks the mounting base 120 and the traction rod 400. When the locking pin is disengaged from the locking holes of the mounting base 120 and the insertion portion 420, the insertion portion 420 can be detached from the mounting hole 121.

[0062] In this embodiment, the push rod frame 500 includes two sets of push rods 510 disposed on the left and right sides. The vehicle frame body is located between the two sets of push rods 510 in the left-right direction, and one end of the push rod 510 is rotatably connected to the vehicle frame body. In this embodiment, the push rod frame 500 also includes a push handle 520 extending in the left-right direction. Referring to Figure 1, in the first state, the push handle 520 is connected between the upper ends of the two sets of push rods 510. In this state, the user can hold the push handle 520 to drive the vehicle to move. Specifically, the push rod 510 is rotatably connected to the front of the base frame 110. In the first state, the push rod frame 500 extends in the vertical direction and unfolds relative to the base frame 110. In the second state, the push rod frame 500 is folded above the base frame 110.

[0063] In this embodiment, with the push rod holder 500 in the open position, the push rod 510 has a first usage state where it extends upwards from front to back, and a second usage state where it extends upwards from back to front. In the first usage state, the push rod 520 is located at the rear of the frame body, and the vehicle is used as a trolley. The user can hold the push rod 520 and push it forward to move the vehicle forward. In the second usage state, the push rod 520 is located at the front of the frame body. In this state, the vehicle can be used as a trailer, and the user can pull the push rod holder 500 forward to move the vehicle forward.

[0064] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 3, in the second state, the frame body is positioned between the two sets of second wheels 222 in the left-right direction, and the frame body and the second wheels 222 are spaced apart. Furthermore, the left-right distance between the frame body and the second wheels 222 in this second state is greater than the left-right distance between the frame body and the first wheels 212 in the first state. When the push rod frame 500 is in the folded position, a clearance space is formed between the frame body and the second wheels 222 to accommodate the push rod 510, facilitating the folding of the push rod 510 between the second wheels 222 and the frame body. In this embodiment, the second wheels 222 are higher than the base frame 110, and the clearance space facilitates the downward folding of the push rod frame 500 relative to the base frame 110.

[0065] In this embodiment, the vehicle also includes a linkage assembly, which is movably disposed between the push rod frame 500 and the vehicle frame body, allowing the push rod frame 500 to switch between an open position and a folded position. Specifically, the linkage assembly includes two sets of linkage rods 610 disposed on the left and right sides, and the linkage rods 610 are movably connected between the vehicle frame body and the push rod 510. In this embodiment, the linkage assembly also includes a sliding member 620, which is slidably disposed on the push rod 510 along the length extension direction of the push rod 510. One end of the linkage rod 610 is rotatably connected to the sliding member 620, and the other end is rotatably connected to the vehicle frame body. Specifically, the other end of the linkage rod 610 is rotatably connected to the base frame 110.

[0066] When the vehicle is in the first state and the push rod 510 is in the first use state, as shown in Figure 1, the linkage rod 610 extends in the vertical direction, and the push rod 510, the linkage rod 610, and the base frame 110 form a triangular structure to maintain the state of the push rod frame 500. In the second state, as shown in Figures 3 and 5, the linkage rod 610 changes to extend in the front-rear direction, and both the push rod 510 and the linkage rod 610 are located within the clearance space, with the lower linkage rod 610 supported on the second wheel seat 221, specifically on the connecting part 2212.

[0067] In this embodiment, the linkage 610 has a fixedly configured first segment and a second segment. When the push rod 510 is in the first use state, the first segment extends backward at an upward angle, and the second segment bends upward from the rear of the first segment, so that the first segment and the second segment form an obtuse angle. When the vehicle is in the second state, the second segment can abut against the second wheel seat 221, so that the push rod frame 500 is maintained in the folded position.

[0068] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 2, the third wheel assembly 300 is detachably connected to the main frame. Specifically, the third wheel assembly 300 is detachably connected to the base frame 110. When the vehicle is in the second state, the third wheel assembly 300 is detached from the base frame 110. In this embodiment, the third wheel assembly 300 is a swivel wheel, which includes a wheel frame 310 rotatably connected to the base frame 110 about a rotation center line extending in the vertical direction, and a third wheel body 330 rotatably connected to the wheel frame 310 about a wheel axle 320. The axis of the wheel axle 320 extends in the horizontal direction.
