Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a cart having a caster, and more particularly to a cart having a caster configured to be smoothly rotated even when a heavy load is loaded.
As shown in FIG. 1, a cart is mounted on a bottom surface of a frame 4 in a state where a plurality of objects are placed on the frame 4, and is moved using a plurality of
As described above, the frame 4 can be supported in a state in which the object is placed on the ground, and the
Here, the
In general, a cart having a widely used caster wheel can be referred to as a manual cart. In a cart having such a caster wheel, straight forward is not a big difficulty in any case, but it is pointed out that it is inconvenient when it rotates. In other words, in the straight-ahead state, there is no problem that all the
Referring to FIG. 2, the cart is provided with a front wheel 2bf and a rear wheel 2br which are spaced at regular intervals. Considering the case where the cart is rotated rightward in the C direction by using a handle provided on the upper portion of the rear wheel 2br, this direction component is referred to as a straight direction component Y ) And a transverse component (X) having a right angle with the immediately preceding component.
Here, the front wheel 2bf is allowed to perform rolling motion with respect to the ground by a distance corresponding to the straight component corresponding to the right rotation direction, but it corresponds to the lateral component X corresponding to the right rotation direction The movement of the subject is caused by the slip. This slip will occur in the range of the
In this case, the user who uses the cart operates by holding the
That is, in order to rotate the cart, the force of the user must act on the
Further, it is relatively easy to apply a force required for such rotation to the
In order to make the manual cart as described above a motorized cart using a motor, it is sufficient to incorporate a hub motor in the above-described pair of rear wheels 2br. However, even if the hub motor is built in this way, the disadvantage of requiring a larger force in steering as described above can not be solved.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a cart which can be easily rotated even under a heavy load.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cart including: a frame capable of supporting an object; A front caser provided on a bottom surface of the frame, the front casters being composed of a rotation center shaft, a caster bracket rotatably supported by the rotation center shaft, and a caster wheel rotatably supported by the caster bracket and running on the ground; Supporting means for supporting the rotational center axis of the front casters so as to be movable in the front-rear direction with respect to the frame at regular intervals; And return means for returning the rotation center shaft supported by the support means to a predetermined position.
A cart of another embodiment includes: a frame capable of supporting an object; A front caser provided on a bottom surface of the frame, the front casters being composed of a rotation center shaft, a caster bracket rotatably supported by the rotation center shaft, and a caster wheel rotatably supported by the caster bracket and running on the ground; Supporting means for supporting the rotational center axis of the front casters so as to be movable rearward relative to the frame at regular intervals; And a returning means for returning the rotation center shaft supported by the supporting means to a predetermined position.
The supporting means in the present invention may be constituted by a slot or a longitudinal groove formed in the forward and backward direction in front of the frame so that a rotation center shaft supported at a constant height with respect to the frame can be inserted.
The returning means in the present invention may be constituted by a forward spring and a rearward spring provided in front of and behind the rotational center axis in the slot or the longitudinal groove. Or the returning means may be constituted by a spring provided only on the rear side of the rotation center shaft. It is preferable that the front casters of the cart according to the present invention are constituted by a pair.
According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, it is possible to expect an advantage in that it is very convenient to change a direction such as a left turn or a right turn even when a heavy object is loaded. Since the cart of the present invention requires a very small force when turning, it will be advantageous that the ease of use can be significantly improved when applied to a manual cart. When the present invention is applied to a motorized cart using a driving motor, even if a motor having a smaller force is used, it is possible to have an advantage that the motor does not incur any difficulty in changing direction.
According to the present invention, it is also possible to expect that the impact applied to the front casters can be absorbed to a certain level by the spring. Also, according to the present invention, it is expected that the caster in the rear of the vehicle can perform the rolling motion even in the process of compression of the spring, so that the cart itself stops immediately due to the obstacle or the inconvenience at the time of restarting due to the obstacle.

For example, the rotation center axis may be configured so as to be movably supported in the front-rear direction on the bottom surface of the frame. It is a matter of course that the forward and backward movement of the rotation center shaft can be made in a separate casing provided on the bottom surface of the frame.
In the illustrated embodiment, it is understood that the rotation center shaft is supported by the front spring and the rear spring. It will be appreciated from FIG. 5 that the rear spring is mainly operated when the rear spring travels substantially forward. In the case of rotating while traveling backward, on the contrary, it is natural that the forward spring will compress and perform its function.
In the illustrated embodiment, the springs are provided in front of and behind the rotational center axis, respectively. However, considering only the case of traveling in the future, it is also possible to provide a spring only in the rear of the center axis of rotation, and this configuration is expected to have a sufficient effect on the left-right rotation in the forward traveling.
In the illustrated embodiment, the configuration in which the rotation center shaft is movable in the forward and backward direction at a constant distance is the

It is to be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention should be construed on the basis of the description of the appended claims.
