AI Technical Summary
The existing chassis structure of the suitcase is not strong enough, which makes the connection between the handle and the chassis prone to breakage, and the existing metal reinforcing strips increase the weight.
The chassis and tie rod sleeve are made of one piece of aluminum material, combined with a helium-filled airbag structure. The lightweight design of aluminum material and the buoyancy support of the airbag enhance the structural strength and reduce the weight.
The structural strength of the suitcase base has been improved to prevent breakage at the joints, and the overall weight has been reduced by combining aluminum and airbags, providing a better user experience.

[0003] In order to meet the requirement of the structure of the trolley case on the market, the weight of the trolley case itself accounts for a large proportion in the use process, in order to reduce the weight, for example, the trolley case disclosed in publication No. CN102754986B removes the frame in the case body, and adopts a more lightweight material to reduce the weight.
[0004] After removing the frame in the above-mentioned prior art, the components supporting the weight of the case body all fall on the chassis, the structural strength of the chassis of the prior art cannot meet the requirement of the trolley case being pulled and sliding on the cement road. Since the chassis is made of plastic material, in order to ensure that it has structural strength, the weight of the chassis will increase, for example, the trolley case base disclosed in publication No. CN205547722U installs metal reinforcing strips on the base to provide structural strength, but the structural strength is still not ideal, and the metal reinforcing strips increase the weight of the base.
[0005] Importantly, the strength of the installation place of the above-mentioned two prior arts for the trolley is not high,
[0006] When the trolley pulls the load of the case body, the installation place of the trolley and the chassis is prone to local cracking, and in order to meet the further support of the case body by the casters, the end face of the existing casters will have an upward extending edge part, which has a large material loss.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] Reference Figs. 1 to 4 Further illustrate the embodiments of the present application.
[0030] The specific structure of the present embodiment: including the body and the caster connected to the four corners of the body, the body includes chassis 1 and pull rod sleeve 2, and the chassis 1 and the pull rod sleeve 2 are integrally formed of aluminum material. The pull rod sleeve 2 is limited by a hole, and the pull rod sleeve 2 is an outer rod in the pull rod assembly, and the inner rod can be directly inserted into the pull rod sleeve 2 for installation, realizing the combined installation of the pull rod.
[0031] The chassis 1 includes a frame 11 surrounding the four corners and a bottom support 3 placed in the frame 11, and a through slot 10 is formed on the bottom surface of the frame 11.
[0032] The frame 11 has a connecting part 12 for connecting the caster at the four corners, and three plug-in interfaces 120 are formed on the connecting part 12,
[0033] The caster is a common flat-top universal wheel on the market, which is prior art and not embodied in the drawings. The plugboard 4 is fixed on the flat top of the caster, and three notches are dug on the end face of the plugboard 4, and the root part is bent upward to form a plug-in part 41. When installing the caster, the plug-in part 41 is inserted into the plug-in interface 120, and finally the plug-in part 41 is hung on the plug-in interface to realize the installation of the caster. The plug-in part 41 corresponds to three plug-in interfaces 120, and three plug-in parts 41 are provided, and the three plug-in parts 41 are directed in the same direction.
[0034] In order to cooperate with the installation of the caster, there are also three holes on the bottom of the shell of the pull rod box corresponding to the three plug-in interfaces 120, which facilitates the insertion of the plug-in part 41.
[0035] The bottom support 3 comprises a plate body 31 and five supporting strips 32, and a plurality of holes 30 are formed in the plate body 31. The holes 30 are used to reduce the weight of the plate body 31. The supporting strips 32 are long and rectangular in shape, hollow in the middle, and circular in the center. The air bag 5 is installed in the center hole.
[0036] The air bag 2 6 is installed in the through groove 10, and the air bag 1 5 and the air bag 2 6 are filled with helium. Helium is lighter than air, which will bring the air bag 1 5 and the air bag 2 6 upward, and the upward buoyancy can carry the bottom plate 1 upward, thereby reducing the influence of the weight of the box on the bottom plate 1. Generally, the storage time of one charge of helium is one month, thereby ensuring the portability, and it can be charged before going out.
[0037] One end of the air bag in the supporting strip 32 is connected to the other air bag 2 6, and the groove wall of the through groove 10 with the air bag 2 6 is provided with a through hole 100 connected thereto. The air bag 2 6 is provided with an air nozzle penetrating the through hole. The adjacent two air bags 2 6 are connected through the pipe body 50, which is curved and arc-shaped. The pipe body 50 is arranged at the four top corners of the through groove 10. The pipe body 50 is made of the same material as the air bag.
[0038] The through groove 10 is detachably connected with the plug strip 7, and the plug strip 7 is in interference fit with the through groove 10. A plurality of connecting holes are formed in the plug body, and a plurality of threaded holes are formed in the groove wall of the through groove 10 corresponding to the connecting holes. The threaded holes are provided with a pin 8 which is in abutment with the connecting hole 70. The pin 8 is made of plastic, and the end of the pin 8 has a cross slot.
[0039] The plug strip 7 can ensure the stability of the air bag 2 6 in the through groove 10. The plug strip 7 has a cavity, and the plug strip 7 is made of plastic and filled with aerogel in the cavity. The weight of the plug body is reduced by the aerogel. When the plug strip 7 is installed in the through groove 10, the cross section of the plug strip 7 is trapezoidal, so that the plug strip 7 is inserted into the through groove 10 more tightly, thereby achieving interference fit. Finally, the plug strip 7 and the through groove 10 are further fixed by the pin 8 to ensure the stability of the installation.
[0040] The forming process of the base is as follows:
[0041] Step 1: The frame 11 and the pull rod outer sleeve of the bottom plate 1 are integrally formed by 3D printing of aluminum material.
[0042] Step 2: The plate body 31 is punched, and then the five supporting strips 32 and the plate body 31 are welded and fixed.
[0043] Step 3: The bottom support 3 and the frame 11 are welded and fixed.
[0044] Step 4, the air bag one 5 is inserted into the center hole of the support strip 32, and then the air bag two 6 is inserted into the through slot 10,
[0045] Step 5, the air nozzle is filled with helium by the helium-filled tank, so that the air bag one 5 and the air bag two 6 are inflated at the same time and pressed against the inner wall of the center hole of the support strip 32 and the through slot 10;
[0046] Step 6, the plug strip 7 is inserted into the opening of the through slot 10 and in contact with the air bag two 6, and then the pin 8 is screwed into the threaded hole on the outside of the through slot 10 and connected with the plug strip 7;
[0047] Step 7, the caster and the frame 11 are inserted.
[0048] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any change and replacement within the technical solution range of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
