Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an auxiliary device for car rescue, in particular, a foldable carrying vehicle.


BACKGROUND ART

When the car is moving, it is likely to have a flat tire due to the reasons of the road surface or the car itself. In case of tire burst, the tire will loss pressure instantaneously, thereby, the tire wall will shrink inward. If you continue to drive, it will cause the car to lose its balance. More seriously, the car will swerve to the side of the flat tire, which is very likely to cause a traffic accident. After the occurrence of tire burst, we usually replace the flat tire with the spare tire and then drive the car to the repair station to have the flat tire repaired or replaced. However, the disadvantages are in that: 1. The spare tire is heavy in self weight, and the replacement of spare tire is laborious and involves complex steps. 2. The spare tire occupies a large space in the car, so that there is smaller space for storage in the trunk, thus affecting the driving experience.


Therefore, there has been a carrying vehicle developed through the prior art, which comprises a frame; the wheel assembly is arranged on sides of the frame, which includes front wheels and a rear wheel; a front support plate and a rear support plate are respectively located at the front end and rear end of the frame, and are respectively coupled to the front axle and rear axle. In the case of a flat tire, the flat tire is moved from the front support plate onto the frame and is fixed between the front and rear support plates. The front support plate can be horizontal or tilt upward, and under the front support plate there is a jaw. When it is horizontal, the jaw touches the ground to not only grasp the ground, but also support the entire front support plate so as to separate the front support plate from the ground, so that when the tire is moving onto the carrying vehicle, the carrying vehicle can grasp the ground firmly, to prevent the auxiliary device from slipping.


The disadvantage of the prior art is that the carrying vehicle is large in size and occupies a large space in the car.
