(10) In this embodiment, a retreat preventing rod 220 is arranged on the shaft 2, the retreat preventing rod 220 is movably arranged on the shaft 2, that is, the retreat preventing rod is sleeved on the shaft 2 by one end, the retreat preventing rod 220 may not swing along with the rotation of the shaft 2, while in use, one end thereof is hung on either side and comes into contact with the ground, in this state, the included angle between the retreat preventing rod 220 and ground close to the side of the wheel body 1 is less than 90°, so that the retreat preventing rod 220 is abutted against the ground, the wheel body 1 cannot be rotated in the direction of the side thereof, further achieving the effect of making the wheel body 1 rotate only in one direction, that is, preventing same from retreating.

(11) In this embodiment, a gravity block 222 is arranged at the end of the retreat preventing rod 220 coming into contact with the ground, and the gravity block 222 is used to add the weight of the end of the retreat preventing rod 220 coming into contact with the ground, so that the retreat preventing rod 220 becomes steadier when being abutted against the ground, and then is made difficult to bounce when being abutted against the ground.

(12) In this embodiment, a connecting piece 4 is arranged at the end of the support rod 3 of the wheel structure opposite to the wheel body 1, and the wheel structure is arranged at the stem of the kayak 6 by the connecting piece 4, as shown in FIG. 2; when the kayak 6 is loaded, the user lifts the front end of the kayak 6 to incline same, and pushes the kayak by coming into contact with the ground by the wheel structure located at the stem depending on the rotation of the wheel body 1, so that the kayak 6 is pushed more effortlessly; in the process of pushing the kayak 6 onto the vehicle roof, the bidirectional ratchet wheel mechanism 210 plays a role of locking the wheel body 1 to make same rotate only in the forward direction, thus avoiding the retreat force produced due to downward slide of the kayak 6 during loading, that is, under the cooperation of the bidirectional ratchet wheel mechanism 210, the kayak 6 is loaded easier and effortlessly; meanwhile, when the kayak 6 is pushed to be loaded, the retreat preventing rod 220 on the shaft 2 is hung on the side opposite to the vehicle, to make same come into contact with the ground to play a role of support. The principle is that: the retreat preventing rod 220 is hung to be abutted on the ground on the side opposite to the vehicle, to form an included angle less than 90° with the ground close to the side of the wheel body 1, if rotating backwards, the wheel body 1 may be stopped by the retreat preventing rod 220 and then cannot retreat, thus further playing a role of preventing the kayak 6 from retreating due to downward slide during loading.
