Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a shopping cart having a mode switching function, and more particularly, the caster of the shopping cart can be switched to a fixed mode and a rotating mode according to a user's easy operation when the shopping cart is driven, so that the side movement in a narrow space is possible. Easy, straight and easy to change direction, and when the key lock device is connected to carry a plurality of shopping carts in an overlapping state, the fixed mode of the caster is automatically released so that the caster can be switched to the rotating mode. It relates to a shopping cart having a switching function.
In general, a transport cart used in a large shop or an airport is equipped with a caster, and is configured to be easily moved by pushing or pulling without a large force even under a large load. Such transport carts usually have four casters, of which two or four casters are mounted so as to be rotatable, in which case only two of the four casters are rotated, and the other two are fixed and mounted straight ahead. When changing the direction, the caster located in the direction to rotate among the two fixed casters acts as the axis of rotation, so that it can easily resist the inertia to go straight, and thus, it is easy to change direction with a small force. Although it is possible to move to the side from stationary state, it is difficult to move the side by friction between two fixed casters and the bottom surface, so it is difficult to avoid the side in the narrow space or to move to the correct position in the narrow space. And it is difficult for the user to drag in all directions of the cart caution. A problem that requires a separate operation to reduce friction, such that for a fixed caster was standing in. In addition, in a large discount store or an airport, when carrying a plurality of transport carts in a stack, transport becomes uncomfortable when two casters are fixed.
On the other hand, when all four casters used for carrying carts and the like are rotatably mounted, the mobility of the carrying carts in a narrow space is very free, but when moving straight while changing direction, it can resist the inertia to go straight. Since there is no shaft, the resistance shaft needs to be made by the user's manpower, which requires a lot of force.
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, it is necessary by allowing the user to easily switch to a fixed mode that can be fixed in the rotation mode or straight direction that the caster of the shopping cart can be freely rotated by a simple operation of the user Depending on the movement, the caster can be used in a constant mode at all times, as well as to provide a shopping cart with a mode switching function that automatically converts the caster to the rotation mode when a key is connected to the lock key box.
In order to achieve the above object, the shopping cart having a mode switching function according to the present invention has a handle formed at one side, and leg portions leading to each of the front and rear portions of the lower portion are formed so that the movement of the main body is possible. In the shopping cart coupled to the caster, the fixed frame fixed to the distal end of the leg portion, combined with the caster is rotated about the axis of rotation perpendicular to the ground at the bottom of the fixed frame to enable the direction of the caster Rotating frame connected to the fixed frame, the fixed frame and the fixed pin is installed to be movable so that the binding frame and the binding frame is released, the fixed mode and the rotation of the rotatable state in which the front caster is fixed in the forward state based on the traveling direction Configuration including a mode switching unit for controlling the fixing pin to be switched to the mode And that is characterized.
In addition, the shopping cart having a mode switching function according to the present invention, one end is connected to the fixing pin is further provided with a cable extending the other end to the handle portion of the main body, a spring between the fixing pin and the cable Is installed, the mode switching unit, a key hole is formed on one side so that a plurality of shopping carts overlap each other, the other side is provided with a connection key for plugging into the key hole of another shopping cart overlapping neighboring one side of the handle A key box installed in the key box, a guide groove formed in a longitudinal direction, and a lever accommodation case installed adjacent to the key box, and a control lever connected to the other end of the cable and moving along the guide groove in the lever accommodation case. The fixing pin, the control lever at one end of the connection key when the connection key is plugged into the key box When the fixed frame and the rotating frame are released by being pushed forward, the caster in front of the main body moves to switch to the rotation mode based on the traveling direction of the main body, and when the connection key is removed from the key box, the cable is connected to the spring. It is characterized in that the fixed lever and the rotating frame is coupled by being pulled by the revolving frame is moved so that the front caster is switched to the fixed mode.
In addition, the shopping cart having a mode switching function according to the present invention, the lever housing case, the lever latch groove for being fixed in the state in which the adjustment lever is advanced to maintain the front caster fixed in the rotation mode Characterized in that formed.
By the above configuration, the shopping cart having a mode switching function according to the present invention can be easily switched to a fixed mode in which the caster of the shopping cart can be freely rotated or fixed in a straight direction by a simple operation of the user. This allows the caster to always be used in a constant mode regardless of movement as needed, and has the advantage of automatically switching the caster to rotation mode when a key is connected to the lock key box.
