For example, "connection" can be a wall-mounted connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. It can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection. It can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. It can be the internal connection of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0048] refer to Figures 1-10 This embodiment provides a folding handle structure for a trolley case. The folding handle structure is mounted on the case body 7 of the trolley case, providing a power-assisting structure for the trolley case to facilitate dragging and carrying. The trolley case can be used to store and carry furniture, instruments, equipment, etc.

[0049] like Figure 1 The installation structure of the folding handle structure and the trolley case is as follows: the folding handle structure includes a first section pull rod 1, a second section pull rod 2 and a third section pull rod 3 connected in sequence. The third section pull rod 3 serves as a fixing rod and is fixed to the bottom and side surfaces of the box body 7 of the trolley case in an L-shaped structure. The installation and fixing of the folding handle structure in an L-shaped structure can increase the strength and durability of the folding handle structure and the box body 7. The third section pull rod 3 and the bottom surface of the box body 7 are used to form a support to enhance the load strength of the box body 7 and ensure the safety of items during transportation.

[0050] like Figure 2-4The first section pull rod 1 and the second section pull rod 2, as well as the second section pull rod 2 and the third section pull rod 3 are all connected by hinges 6. The second section pull rod 2 can be folded relative to the third section pull rod 3, and the first section pull rod 1 can be folded relative to the second section pull rod 2. An upper sliding sleeve 4 is provided at the connection position between the first section pull rod 1 and the second section pull rod 2, and a lower sliding sleeve 5 is provided at the connection position between the second section pull rod 2 and the third section pull rod 3. When the first section pull rod 1 and the second section pull rod 2, as well as the second section pull rod 2 and the third section pull rod 3 are rotated and unfolded relative to each other, the upper sliding sleeve 4 and the lower sliding sleeve 5 form corresponding locking limits on the first section pull rod 1 and the second section pull rod 2, so that the first section pull rod 1 and the second section pull rod 2 cannot rotate, thereby being locked in the unfolded state. At this time, the folding handle structure is in the handle use state, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 .

[0051] The locking structure of the upper sliding sleeve 4 and the lower sliding sleeve 5 for the first section pull rod 1 and the second section pull rod 2 is that an elastic limiter is set in the second section pull rod 2, and the upper sliding sleeve 4 and the lower sliding sleeve 5 respectively abut against the two ends of the elastic limiter. Under the elastic force of the elastic limiter, the upper sliding sleeve 4 moves up to cover the hinge 6 connecting the first section pull rod 1 and the second section pull rod 2 in the upper sliding sleeve 4, forming a restriction on the rotation of the hinge 6, and the lower sliding sleeve 5 moves down to cover the hinge 6 connecting the second section pull rod 2 and the third section pull rod 3 in the lower sliding sleeve 5, forming a restriction on the rotation of the hinge 6. Figure 7 .

[0052] like Figure 5 In order to facilitate the separate control of the sliding of the upper sleeve 4 and the lower sleeve 5, the elastic limit member is divided into a first spring 22 and a second spring 23, and a spring limit sleeve 21 is centrally arranged in the second section pull rod 2. One end of the first spring 22 and the second spring 23 respectively abut against the two ends of the elastic limit sleeve, the other end of the first spring 22 abuts against the upper sleeve 4, and the other end of the second spring 23 abuts against the lower sleeve 5. When force acts on the upper sleeve 4 or the lower sleeve 5, the first spring 22 or the second spring 23 can be squeezed to make the upper sleeve 4 or the lower sleeve 5 retract (such as Figure 9 ), so that the corresponding hinge 6 is exposed (as Figure 8 ), the hinge 6 recovers its rotation function after being released from the restriction of the upper sleeve 4 or the lower sleeve 5 (such as Figure 10 ), at this time the folding handle structure can be folded.

[0053] In order to facilitate the upper sliding sleeve 4 and the lower sliding sleeve 5 to slide more smoothly and stably, a sliding guide structure is provided between the upper sliding sleeve 4, the lower sliding sleeve 5 and the second section pull rod 2, such as Figure 5-6 , specifically as follows:

[0054] The upper sleeve 4 is slidably mounted on the upper end of the second section pull rod 2. A first pin 41 is provided on the upper sleeve 4. A first sliding groove 24 is provided on the second section pull rod 2 corresponding to the first pin 41. The first pin 41 slides in conjunction with the first sliding groove 24, and the first spring 22 rests against the first pin 41.

[0055] The lower sleeve 5 is slidably mounted on the lower end of the second section pull rod 2. A second pin 51 is provided on the lower sleeve 5. The second section pull rod 2 is provided with a second sliding groove 25 corresponding to the second pin 51. The second pin 51 slides in conjunction with the second sliding groove 25, and the second spring 23 rests on the second pin 51.

[0056] The first sliding groove 24 and the second sliding groove 25 form a guiding function, and cooperate with the sliding of the first latch 41 and the second latch 51 in the first sliding groove 24 and the second sliding groove 25 to achieve sliding guidance of the upper sliding sleeve 4 and the lower sliding sleeve 5.

[0057] like Figure 11-16 The folding handle structure cooperates with the folding storage of the trolley case as follows: the trolley case includes a box body 7 and a box cover 8, a groove 81 is provided on the box cover 8, and a clamp is provided on one side of the box body 7, which is provided relative to the third section of the pull rod 3.

[0058] Since the upper sliding sleeve 4 and the lower sliding sleeve 5 are arranged on the second section pull rod 2, when folding, the upper sliding sleeve 4 and the lower sliding sleeve 5 are both slid and retracted on the second section pull rod 2, so the groove 81 provided on the box cover 8 matches the structural shape after the second section pull rod 2 retracts the upper sliding sleeve 4 and the lower sliding sleeve 5. The structure of the groove 81 on the box cover 8 is as follows Figure 13 The second section of the pull rod 2 is folded and placed on the groove 81 as shown in FIG. Figure 15 .

[0059] like Figure 15 The first section of the pull rod 1 is provided with a handle 11, which is a horizontal bar structure, which is convenient for hand-pulling operation. The handle 11 is connected to the card piece in a detachable buckle connection, which is convenient for fixing the folding handle structure after folding. The specific structure is that a card slot 12 is provided on the handle 11 of the first section of the pull rod 1. The card piece includes a bayonet 71 and a protrusion 72. When the folding handle structure is folded, the handle 11 is used to snap into the bayonet 71, and the protrusion 72 is buckled with the card slot 12 to achieve a buckle connection between the handle 11 and the card piece. Figure 16 .

[0060] The folding steps of the folding handle structure and the trolley case are as follows: Figure 11 , first press the upper sleeve 4 downward, and the first spring 22 acts to retract the upper sleeve 4 onto the second section of the pull rod 2, and the hinge 6 connecting the first section of the pull rod 1 and the second section of the pull rod 2 is exposed; Figure 12 , keep the upper sliding sleeve 4 retracted, and fold the first section of the pull rod 1 toward the box cover 8; Figure 13After the first section of the pull rod 1 is folded, the lower sleeve 5 is lifted up, and the second spring 23 acts to make the lower sleeve 5 retract onto the second section of the pull rod 2, and the hinge 6 connecting the second section of the pull rod 2 and the third section of the pull rod 3 is exposed; Figure 14 , keep the lower sleeve 5 retracted, and fold the second section of the pull rod 2 toward the box cover 8; Figure 15 , fold the second section of the pull rod 2 completely and snap it into the groove 81 on the box cover 8, and align the handle 11 on the first section of the pull rod 1 with the card to snap it into place; Figure 16 After the handle 11 is buckled, the folding handle structure is folded.

[0061] The groove 81 cooperates with the second section of the pull rod 2 so that the second section of the pull rod 2 can be embedded in the box cover 8 after being folded, reducing the space occupied by the second section of the pull rod 2 after being folded, making it easier to store and receive. The folded state of the foldable handle structure is locked by the buckle of the handle 11 and the clamping member, which can prevent the foldable handle structure from detaching from the box body 7 during use, causing an accident.

[0062] like Figure 17 The box body 7 is provided with a lock box member 9 for locking or releasing the box lid 8, ensuring that the box lid 8 is completely closed and stable, thereby ensuring the safety of the items inside the box body 7 and preventing external impact. The lock box member 9 has a security function, which can prevent theft and unauthorized access to the items inside the box body 7. The structure of the lock box member 9 can adopt other locking structures known in the art, such as buckle-type cover lock, spring-type cover lock, block-type cover lock, electronic cover lock, etc.

[0063] The bottom surface of the box 7 is provided with rollers 73 and bosses 74. The rollers 73 are provided at the rear side of the box 7, and the bosses 74 are provided near the front side of the bottom surface of the box 7. The rollers 73 are provided to facilitate transportation, and the bosses 74 serve as support for the bottom of the box 7. On the one hand, it is convenient for long-term storage of the box 7 to prevent the rollers 73 from being damaged by the single-sided support. On the other hand, it balances the box 7 to facilitate the operation of placing and taking out items.

[0064] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field who uses this concept to make non-substantial changes to the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention shall be deemed to infringe the protection scope of the present invention.
