[0029] See also Figure 3 A battery slot 101 is provided at the rear of the box body 10, and the battery 20 is detachably installed in the battery slot 101. Through this design, when the battery is exhausted or damaged, the user can remove, replace and install the battery at any time, which greatly improves the convenience of user use; the front wheel 90 and / or the two rear wheels 70 use hub motor wheels to drive the electric suitcase to move; the front handle bar 80 is provided with a control component 802 for controlling the hub motor wheels to move forward or backward, and the control component 802, the hub motor wheels, the electric push rod 60 and the battery 20 are all connected to the controller 30.

[0030] See also Figure 3 The control component 802 includes a speed control knob 803 and a brake knob 804. Both the speed control knob 803 and the brake knob 804 can rotate in a circular direction. Both the speed control knob 803 and the brake knob 804 are provided with a force-applying member that can be pressed or toggled by a thumb. The speed control knob 803 and the brake knob 804 are connected to the controller 30 through a wire. When the user operates the control component 802, the speed control knob 803 or the brake knob 804 can be rotated in a circular direction by pressing the force-applying member with the corresponding thumb to realize the speed control and electronic braking of the electric luggage case. The speed regulator of the speed control knob 803 is a potentiometer or a Hall sensor.

[0031] Through the above design, the user can sit on the upper part of the box body 10, and the electric push rod 60 pushes the telescopic rod 50, the front handle rod 80 and the front wheel 90 to extend outward. The user operates the control component 802, and the control component 802 converts the user's operation instructions into electrical signals and transmits them to the controller 30. The controller 30 controls the wheel hub motor to rotate to start riding; when not riding, the electric push rod 60 pulls the telescopic rod 50, the front handle rod 80 and the front wheel 90 back to achieve storage, which greatly improves the convenience of carrying the suitcase when traveling.

[0032] See also Figures 8 to 11The front of the box body 10 is provided with an opening 102, and the opening 102 is provided with a front baffle 103.

When the telescopic rod 50 is in a retracted state, the front wheel is located in the groove 105. Through the above design, the front baffle 103 can effectively resist the splashing sewage and mud generated when the front wheel 90 rolls. At the same time, the design of the groove 105 can facilitate the storage of the front wheel 90, reduce the space occupied by the entire electric luggage case, and improve the overall aesthetics of the electric luggage case. The slide rail 40 is integrally formed with the front baffle 103 and communicated with the socket 104. One end of the electric push rod 60 is connected and fixed to the inside of the box body 10, and the other end is connected and fixed to the telescopic rod 50, which is used to provide power for the sliding of the telescopic rod 50.

[0033] Preferably, the front baffle 103 is made of plastic material, which reduces the overall weight of the electric luggage while ensuring the overall structural strength of the electric luggage, so that it is more convenient to carry. In addition, the electric luggage provided by the present application can also reduce the overall size of the electric luggage without changing the overall structure, and reduce the weight to meet the boarding requirements.

[0034] See also Figure 2 The front handle bar 80 includes a fixed bar 805 and a lifting bar 806. The front wheel 90 is installed at the bottom of the fixed bar 805. The lower part of the fixed bar 805 is rotatably connected to the front end of the telescopic bar 50. The steering gear 801 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixed bar 805. The lifting bar 806 is slidably installed on the upper part of the fixed bar 805 and can slide up and down along the fixed bar 805 and be positioned and fixed. When the lifting bar 806 rotates, it drives the fixed bar 805 and the front wheel 90 to rotate to achieve steering. The lifting bar 806 can be lifted up and down along the fixed bar 805 and positioned and fixed in a manner of a lock. The user can loosen and tighten the lifting bar 806 by pulling the folding handle; it can also be a buckle. The user can drive the buckle to disengage from the limit hole by pressing the lifting button, and the lifting bar 806 can be lifted and slid. When the buckle is embedded in the limit hole, the lifting bar 806 is positioned and fixed. This application does not specifically limit the lifting and lowering and positioning and fixing of the lifting bar 806.

[0035] Through the above design, the user can adjust the height of the lifting rod 806 to achieve an optimal riding posture, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0036] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3, pedals 901 are provided on both sides of the front wheel 90, which can provide foot support for the user when riding, so as to improve the riding comfort of the user; a rear handle bar 106 is provided at the rear of the box body 10, and the user can choose to ride the suitcase and push and pull the suitcase. When the user does not want to ride, the rear handle bar 106 is pulled out to push and pull the suitcase; a power switch 107 and a control switch 108 for controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod are provided on the side of the box body 10, and the power switch 107 and the control switch 108 are both connected to the controller 30. Through the above design, the power switch 107 and the control switch 108 can realize the automatic control of the electric suitcase, greatly improving the user experience.

[0037] See also Figure 1 and Fig.12 The use process of the smart electric suitcase provided by the present application is as follows: when the user chooses to ride the electric suitcase, the power switch 107 is turned on, and the control switch 108 is operated to control the electric push rod 60 to extend outward, and push the telescopic rod 50, the front handle bar 80 and the front wheel 90 to extend outward. At this time, the user can freely adjust the extension length of the telescopic rod 50. After the telescopic rod 50 is extended, the user sits on the upper part of the box body 10 and places both feet on the pedals 901. The electric suitcase can be moved forward or backward by manually operating the control component 802, and the front handle bar 80 can be turned to realize the movement of the electric suitcase. In the electric steering mode, the steering driver 501 is controlled by the controller 30 to rotate forward or reverse, and the driving gear 503 drives the steering gear 801 to rotate, so as to realize the left and right steering of the front handle bar 80; when the user chooses to push or pull the electric luggage case, the control switch 108 is operated to control the electric push rod 60 to retract inward, and the telescopic rod 50, the front handle bar 80 and the front wheel 90 to retract inward, at which time the front wheel 90 is stored in the groove 105, and then the power switch 107 is turned off, and the rear handle bar 106 is pulled out, so that the electric luggage case can be pushed or pulled.
