TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of folding trolleys, and in particular to a retractable folding trolley.


BACKGROUND

With the improvement of living standards, more and more people like to drive for outdoor activities. Moreover, they will carry a lot of picnic food and outdoor utensils when driving. However, they can only drive to the parking place, and the remaining distance usually needs to be done on foot. Therefore, it is very inconvenient for people to carry so many things outdoors. Now trolleys that can be folded and placed in the trunk are available on the market. When used, the trolley can be opened for carrying picnic food and outdoor utensils, which is convenient for people to carry.


The existing trolleys are mainly translational folding trolleys, which are formed by cross-hinging of steel tubes to form a set of X-shaped cross-tubes that can be folded and retracted. Although this structure is simple, the trolley of such structure has a relatively long length after folding and contraction, and still occupies more space when stored, which is inconvenient to carry. The side support strength of the trolley of such structure is relatively weak, resulting in limited load capacity and short service life. The existing folding trolleys are single-function and not easy to use outside.
