Description

The utility model relates to carts for transporting goods and can be used to transport goods from the place of purchase to the vehicle of the buyer, for example, a car, and transport when folded in his trunk or body to the place of unloading the contents of the cart.

Known folding cart used for transporting purchases from store to car and from car to home [RU 2010128549/11, A, B62B 3/02, 01/20/2012], containing the lower tubular structure on which the container is mounted, while the structure is made of any material, preferably metal, sufficiently strong and light, and the container is made of any material, for example metal, plastic or other material, sufficiently suitable for its intended use, similarly light and durable, , the design contains two parallel U-shaped sections that form guides suitable for placing rollers located in the lower part of the container, the guide rods have corresponding swivel joints at the ends that connect them to both side racks equipped with corresponding wheels in the lower part, and together with the third middle rack, pivotally connected to the side racks using the section provided in its center, with a wheel at its lower end, form a folding base of the trolley, top the central part of the rack is connected to a longitudinal rod located between the guide rods and, in turn, connected to them by the respective cross members, and the connection of the central rack with the rod is made through the cushion, which allows you to adjust the required height of the trolley with the help of a series recesses in the bar, which will fix the crawler in various predetermined positions.

The disadvantage of this device is the relatively high complexity, due to the fact that, in fact, the folding trolley is two devices, one of which, which is a container with support rollers, is designed to be installed on the other, made in the form of a folding tubular structure with support wheels, moreover, when folding the latter, the possibility of the container occupying the space inside the tubular structure is not provided. Thus, the lack of the ability to be folded together with the container to occupy one place in the vehicle is a significant drawback of this folding trolley.

There is also a trolley that is built into the trunk of a car, designed to collect and transport piece packages, mainly when shopping for goods in a supermarket [RU 2372236, C2, B62B 3/02, 10.11.2009], containing a cargo basket with legs, with piano wheels at the same time, the legs are pivotally attached to the load-carrying body of the cargo basket along its longitudinal axis and are folded into the niches of the cargo-basket body, and the trolley has additional rollers rigidly attached to the load-carrying body of the basket to drive the basket into baggage The vehicle’s nickname additionally has a work table movably attached to the basket’s main body, on which an electronic unit is located, including a device for reading the barcode of the package being loaded and a microprocessor for generating a list of barcodes, the processor being equipped with a port-connector for short-term connection to cash settlement system of the supermarket to receive a check and cashless payment with an appropriate plastic card.

The disadvantage of this device is its relatively high complexity, due to the presence, as a rule, of a rarely used desktop, on which an electronic unit is located, including a device for reading the barcode of the package being loaded and a microprocessor for generating a barcode list file, the processor being equipped with port-connector for short-term connection to the cash settlement system of the supermarket to receive a check and cashless payment with an appropriate plastic card, as well as the fact that this design requires ramps to drive the trolley into the trunk of the car, which, of course, complicates the use.

The closest in technical essence and the result achieved when using it is a folding trolley made with the possibility of loading into the vehicle and unloading from it [RU 161747, U1, B62B 3/02, B62B 3/12, 05/10/2016], containing a frame with supporting wheels and a container mounted inside the frame and connected to the frame pivotally, while the frame is rotatable around the axis when folding the trolley, and the trolley is equipped with a support in the form of a rod system, which is pivotally connected to the container, and a wheel to reduce friction when turning the tank.

The disadvantage of the closest technical solution is the lack of versatility - for each model of the car it must be implemented in individual sizes, taking into account the parameters of the trunk. The closest technical solution involves the end loading method and longitudinal placement in the trunk, for which a large trunk is required. At the same time, in a large number of modern cars, the dimensions of the trunk depth are almost 2 times smaller than the widths, while the latter dimensions vary significantly less, therefore, for the sake of versatility, the most optimal placement of the trolley in the trunk is the transverse one, carried out by using the side loading method. The known device is not suitable for loading and placement in a car trunk having a rear side and a loading height above average values. In addition, the known device requires physical effort to load in and unload from the trunk, which limits the useful weight of the cargo, increases the time of loading and unloading from the trunk of the car.

The problem to which the claimed utility model is directed is to create a universal folding trolley suitable for different cars from a large target sample, having relatively small dimensions when folded, allowing its use in cars with small luggage carriers with the possibility of quick folding and unfolding and loading and unloading from the trunk, including equipped with a side, without the application of great physical effort.

The required technical result is to ensure optimal lateral placement of the trolley in the luggage carriers of a large target sample of cars, reduce the dimensions when folded, while ensuring the possibility of quick folding, unfolding, loading and unloading from the trunk of a car, including a side, due to the implementation of the side (in difference from the end) method of loading and unloading, and the use of two basket lifting mechanisms with independent electric drives.

The problem is solved, and the required technical result is achieved by the fact that, in a folding trolley for transportation in the car trunk, containing a base frame with support wheels, a basket and a handle, according to a utility model, a pivotable support and a detachable support that are attached to the frame are introduced a rectangular base, equipped with four piano-type wheels, two on each end side and a swivel mount in the form of a swivel joint with a lock and a detachable mount with ixator, electric drives, which are equipped with a rotatable support and a detachable support, a rechargeable battery for powering the electric drives and elements of manual control of electric drives, while the rotatable support is equipped with a rotary support bracket, a detachable support is equipped with a detachable support strip, the detachable rollers are mounted on the support bracket , pivotable support and detachable support consist of scissor lifting mechanisms formed by two assemblies, in The upper elements of which are connected by a rotating rod with a screw thread, connected to the upper elements of the scissor lifting mechanism through bushings with a reciprocal thread, and the upper corners of the upper and lower corners of the lower elements of the scissor lifting mechanism of the support detachable are connected by hinges to the power bar of the basket and to the power bar of the support detachable, respectively, at the pivot support, the upper corners of the upper elements of the scissor lifting mechanism are connected to the lower surface of the U-shaped bracket by means of hinges, and the lower corners of the lower elements of the scissor lifting mechanism are connected by hinges to the power strip of the pivot support, which is connected to the basket with a U-shaped bracket and telescopic guides in the upper part of the ends of the basket, while the piano-type wheels are equipped with locking mechanisms, and the rectangular handle is removably attached to the base frame and basket.

The dimensions of the basket 1 are limited by height — by the height of the opening of the open trunk of the target sample of sedans, by length — by the width of the opening of the open trunk of the target sample of sedans, and by depth — by the depth of the luggage compartment of the target sample of small cars with a hatchback body. The total height of the base frame 8 and wheels 9 does not exceed the clearance under the rear axle of the target sample of small cars.

Used folding trolley for transportation in the trunk of a car as follows.

Loading (Fig. 3) is carried out in the following order.

1. The basket 1, which is in the transport position, is brought in by a support 3 detachable close to the rear bumper of the car and centered along the opening of the open trunk, the handle is disconnected from the bevel 25 of the basket end and folded into the base frame 8 (position 28, a).

2. If the basket 1 is below the loading height, then due to the rotation of the electric drives 11 of the support 2 of the swivel and support 3 of the detachable basket 1 is set to such a height that its bottom is slightly higher than the loading height of the car trunk (position 28, b).

3. The latch of the detachable support 3 is disconnected, after which, due to the rotation of the electric drive 11, the detachable support 3 is shortened, rising to a level at which the rollers 18 are located above the loading height of the car trunk and above the bottom of the basket 1 (position 28, c).

4. The folding trolley manually moves forward so that the detachable support 3 moves deeper into the trunk of the car, the base frame 8 goes under the car, and the swivel support 2 approaches the car’s rear bumper, but does not touch it, after which the trolley is secured by locking elements (position 28, g).

5. Due to the rotation of the electric drive 11, the support 3 detachable lowers to the floor level of the trunk of the car and stands on the rollers 18 (position 28, d). If necessary, if the car gives a strong shrinkage, the support 3 swivels slightly lowered to reach a horizontal position.

6. The basket 1, together with the detachable support 3, moves deeper into the trunk of the car, while the support 2 which is rotated remains in place by extending the telescopic ball guides 15 to the required length (position 28, e).

7. Due to the synchronous rotation of the electric drives 11 of both supports, the basket 1 is lowered into the trunk of the car (position 28, g).

8. Due to the application of force to the rotatable support 2, the ball guides 15 extend to the maximum length, pushing the support 2 rotatable from the bumper of the car, after which the latch 5 of the rotary hinge is unlocked and the actuator 11 raises the support 2 rotatable to a height at which the hinge 4 is higher loading height (position 28, h). In this case, the base frame 8 changes position to vertical.

9. The hinge 4 of the support 2 rotatable folds, the ball guides 15 are shortened and the base frame 8 takes a position at the side surface of the basket 1 inside the trunk of the car. If necessary, the support 2 rotatable falls below the side of the car trunk until the hinge 4 touches the bottom wall of the car trunk (position 28, and). Loading completed.

Unloading (Fig. 4) is carried out in the reverse order:

1. If necessary, the support 2 rotated rises above the side of the trunk of the car. Ball guides 15 are moved apart, the hinge of the support 2 rotatable unfolds and the base frame 8 takes a vertical position (position 29, a).

2. The rotation of the electric drive 11 lowers the support 2 rotatable, while the base frame 8 changes position from vertical to horizontal (position 29, b)

3. At the end of lowering the base frame 8, when all four wheels 9 stand on the floor, the latch of the swivel joint 4 fixes this position. The support 2 rotatable moves to the rear bumper of the car, the locking mechanism 14 is activated (position 29, c).

4. Due to the synchronous rotation of the electric drives 11, the support 2 rotatable and the support 3 detachable raise the basket 1 so that its bottom is above the loading height of the car trunk (position 29, g).

5. Due to the application of force, the basket 1 together with the detachable support 3 moves towards the rear side of the car trunk, the support 2 being rotated remains in place by shortening the telescopic ball guides 15 to the required length (position 29, d). If necessary, if the car rises substantially, the support 2 rotated also rises slightly to reach a horizontal position.

6. Due to the rotation of the electric drive 11, the support 3 detachable rises so that the rollers 18 are above the loading height (position 29, e).

7. The trolley manually moves in the direction away from the car trunk so that the detachable support 3 completely extends beyond the rear bumper of the car (position 29, g).

8. Due to the rotation of the electric drive 11, the detachable support 3 is extended, falling to the level of the base frame 8. The latch of the support 3 detachable to the base frame 8 is fixed, fixing the folding carriage structure (position 29, h).

9. Due to the synchronous rotation of the electric drives 11 of both supports, the basket 1 is brought into transport position. The handle 10 is removed from the grooves of the base frame 8 and attached to the bevel of the end face 25 of the basket (position 29, and).

Unloading completed.

Since all parameters and the sequence of actions are measured for each car model separately, a semi-automatic loading algorithm can be implemented by programming the parameters of raising and lowering the supports, the moments of operation of the electromagnetic drives of the latches 5 and 7, as well as by moving the basket with the electric drive inside or inside the trunk.

Thus, manually it will be necessary to do a minimum of actions.

The proposed technical solution creates significant convenience for the buyer, in particular, eliminates the need to search for a shopping trolley and return it to its place, its own trolley accelerates and facilitates the process of paying for purchases in the store, when unloading goods onto the cash register, the basket can be lifted to a convenient height. no need to put purchased goods in packages, loading in the trunk of a car is accelerated and facilitated, since there is no need to shift and place packages in the trunk, during transportation ovars are in the basket, and do not move around the trunk, accelerates the delivery of purchases to the apartment, because you don’t need to go up and down several times with purchases, you can not park directly at the entrance, you can visit a nearby store without a car and there is no need to look for parking at the store.

There are also advantages for the store, since there is no need to service, disinfect, repair and replace the trolleys, savings are achieved on the labor of collectors and transporters of the trolleys, there is an increase in sales, because the purchase is made faster, the store can serve more customers, the parking space is freed up, which occupied by shopping carts, there is no need for disposable bags.

There are also advantages for the manufacturer - due to the universality of the design, the trolleys can be produced not individually for each car model, but in 2-3 sizes covering different target samples of cars.

Thus, the proposal achieves the required technical result, which consists in the optimal lateral placement of the trolley in the luggage carriers of a large target sample of cars, reducing the dimensions when folded, while ensuring the possibility of quick folding, unfolding, loading and unloading from the trunk of a car, including a side, due to the implementation of the lateral (as opposed to the end) method of loading and unloading and the use of two basket lifting mechanisms with independent electric drives.
