Abstract

The disclosure provides a noise reduction structure comprising a stroller frame, a supporting frame connected to the stroller frame, and a wheel mounted on the supporting frame, the supporting frame receive a force so that the wheel contacts a supporting surface to slide; and an elastic resetting member is arranged between the supporting frame and the stroller frame, the resetting member always has a tendency to bring the supporting frame to reset. The noise reduction structure of the disclosure has a simple structure and is suitable for baby strollers or hand carts. By additionally arranging a resetting member between the supporting frame and the stroller frame, the supporting frame always has a resetting tendency, that is, when the supporting frame is unloaded, the resetting member may suspend the wheel, so as to avoid noise caused by friction between the wheel and the supporting surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A carrier comprising:
a stroller frame;
a supporting frame connected to the stroller frame;
a wheel mounted on the supporting frame, the supporting frame is movable between an upward reset position and a downward support position; and
an elastic member arranged between the supporting frame and the stroller frame, the elastic member is configured to bias the supporting frame in the upward reset position,
wherein the supporting frame moves to the downward support position when a force is applied to the supporting frame such that the wheel contacts a support surface, and the supporting frame moves to the upward reset position upon cessation of the force to avoid contact between the wheel and the support surface.

2. The carrier according to claim 1 , wherein an elastic stretching member is also arranged between the stroller frame and the supporting frame, the elastic stretching member has a first elastic force to downwardly stretch the supporting frame, such that the wheel mounted on the supporting frame moves downward and contacts the support surface.

3. The carrier according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic member has a second elastic force that is greater than the first elastic force, such that the second elastic force biases the wheel to raise the wheel and avoid contact with the support surface.

4. The carrier according to claim 1 , wherein a standing plate is also arranged on the supporting frame, the standing plate receives a force and acts on the supporting frame, such that the wheel mounted on the supporting frame contacts the support surface to slide or roll on the support surface.

5. The carrier according to claim 4 , wherein the standing plate is detachably mounted on the supporting frame.

6. The carrier according to claim 4 , wherein a fixing member is arranged on the stroller frame for fixing the supporting frame.

7. The carrier according to claim 6 , wherein a mounting rod is also arranged on the stroller frame, a first end of the mounting rod is mounted on the stroller frame, and a second end of the mounting rod is connected to the fixing member.

8. The carrier according to claim 7 , wherein the fixing member is provided with a protrusion part protruding in a first direction, a through slot is arranged on the protrusion part for the second end of the mounting rod to pass through, and the standing plate receive a force so that the fixing member slides along the mounting rod at the through slot.

9. The carrier according to claim 8 , wherein the second end of the mounting rod is positioned adjacent to the elastic member and the second end of the mounting rod is provided with a limit nut.

10. The carrier according to claim 9 , wherein the elastic member passes through and is mounted on the second end of the mounting rod, and the elastic member is located between the limit nut and the fixing member, and wherein the standing plate receives a force so that the fixing member compresses the elastic member between the limit nut and the fixing member.

11. The carrier according to claim 8 , wherein a mounting member is arranged on the stroller frame for mounting the supporting frame, and one end of the mounting member is provided with a mounting part for the mounting rod to pass through and be mounted.

12. The carrier according to claim 11 , wherein an end of the mounting rod positioned adjacent the mounting member is provided with a fixing part, and the mounting rod is prevented from being separated from the mounting member in moving by the fixing part.

13. The carrier according to claim 11 , wherein an end of the mounting rod positioned adjacent the mounting member is further provided with a mounting hole, the mounting member is provided with a first through hole being positioned adjacent to the mounting part, the stroller frame is provided with a second through hole being coaxial with the first through hole, and wherein the mounting rod and the mounting member are configured to be fixed to the stroller frame through the mounting hole, the first through hole, and the second through hole.

14. The carrier according to claim 6 , wherein the fixing member is further provided with a connecting part for connecting the stroller frame and the supporting frame, the connecting part includes a top wall and a bottom wall being arranged opposite to each other, the top wall and the bottom wall are connected to each other by a side wall, the side wall is arranged in a curved surface, and the stroller frame is mounted between the top wall and the bottom wall and abuts against the side wall.

15. The carrier according to claim 14 , wherein the supporting frame is mounted between the top wall and the bottom wall along a second direction and protrudes out of the fixing member.

16. The carrier according to claim 14 , wherein an end of the top wall positioned adjacent the side wall is provided with a first limit block for limiting a sliding of the supporting frame in a second direction, and an end of the bottom wall positioned adjacent the side wall is provided with a second limit block for limiting the sliding of the stroller frame in the second direction.

17. The carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic member includes a spring structure, and the elastic stretching member is a tension spring.

18. The carrier according to claim 1 , wherein the stroller frame is a stroller frame for a baby stroller.

19. A carrier comprising:
a stroller frame;
a supporting frame connected to the stroller frame;
a fixing member is arranged on the stroller frame for fixing the supporting frame;
a mounting rod is arranged on the stroller frame, the mounting rod includes a first end coupled to the stroller frame and a second end coupled to the fixing member;
a wheel mounted on the supporting frame, the supporting frame is configured to receive a force which causes the wheel mounted on the supporting frame to contact a support surface; and
an elastic member arranged between the supporting frame and the stroller frame, the elastic member is configured to bias the supporting frame away from the support surface, such that the supporting frame raises the wheel from contact with the support surface;
wherein the second end of the mounting rod extends through the elastic member; and the elastic member is positioned between the fixing member and a limit nut.

20. The carrier according to claim 19 , wherein the stroller frame is a stroller frame for a baby stroller.
