[0023] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a luggage caster involved in this embodiment includes a wheel support 1 and a wheel frame 2, the wheel frame 2 is provided with a wheel axle (not marked), the wheel axle is provided with a wheel 3, the wheel support 1 is provided with a plug hole 4, a plug shaft 5 that can be pulled out and rotated in the plug hole 4 is inserted, one end of the plug shaft 5 is connected to the wheel frame 2, and a side surface of the plug shaft 5 is provided with an annular groove 6, the wheel support 1 is provided with a mounting groove 7 extending along the radial direction of the plug hole, and the bottom of the mounting groove 7 is provided with a groove extending along its length direction and penetrating the The first shift hole 8 of the wheel support, the inner shift block 9 is slidably connected in the mounting groove 7, the outer shift block 10 connected to the inner shift block is slidably connected in the first shift hole 8, a first elastic member (not shown) is provided in the mounting groove 7, one end of which abuts against the inner shift block and the other end abuts against the wall of the mounting groove, the first elastic member is a compression spring, the inner shift block 9 is provided with a limit plate 12 for following, the limit plate 12 is provided with a limit hole 13 for the insertion of the plug shaft 5, and the limit plate 12 in a natural state is stuck in the annular groove 6;

[0026] The wheel frame 2 includes a fixed portion 201 arranged at the top and a movable portion 202 arranged at the bottom. One end of the movable portion 202 is hinged to the fixed portion 201. A second elastic member 203 is arranged between the fixed portion 201 and the movable portion 202. The second elastic member 203 is a compression spring. The wheel axle is arranged on the movable portion 202.

[0027] In this embodiment, when the wheel frame 2 and the wheel support 1 are in the connected state, the plug-in shaft 5 is inserted into the plug-in hole 4. Due to the elastic force generated by the elastic member, the limit plate 12 is away from the plug-in shaft 5. At this time, the limit hole 13 is not concentric with the plug-in hole 4, and the limit plate 12 is stuck in the annular groove 6, and the plug-in shaft 5 cannot be pulled out from the plug-in hole 4. If the wheel frame 2 and the wheel support 1 need to be separated, the outer shifting block 10 can be pushed toward the plug-in shaft 5, driving the inner shifting block 9 connected thereto to squeeze the first elastic member until the limit plate 12 moves with it, gradually disengaging the limit plate 12 stuck in the annular groove 6, until the limit hole 13 is concentric with the plug-in hole 4, and the plug-in shaft 5 can be pulled out from the plug-in hole 4.

[0028] When the wheel 3 is pressed, the wheel shaft and the movable portion 202 squeeze the second elastic member 203 until the second elastic member 203 is compressed and the movable portion 202 rotates relative to the fixed portion 201 to achieve the buffering and shock absorbing function.
