[0019] An expandable trolley case includes a case body 1 and a case cover 2 located at the front end of the case body 1, the case cover 2 is detachably connected to the case body 1, and an expansion frame is provided on the side of the case cover 2 facing the case body 1, the expansion frame includes first expansion plates 3 on the left and right sides of the case cover 2 and second expansion plates 4 at the upper and lower ends of the case cover 2, the first expansion plates 3 and the second expansion plates 4 are both slidably connected to the inner wall of the case body 1, a fixing mechanism 5 is provided between the first expansion plate 3 and the case body 1, and a positioning mechanism is provided between the second expansion plate 4 and the case body 1, and the expansion frame and the case body 1 are both made of hard material.

[0020] like Figure 4 As shown, in this example, preferably, the fixing mechanism 5 includes a pull rod 6, one end of the pull rod 6 extends out of the box body 1, and the other end extends out of the first expansion plate 3. The end extending out of the box body 1 is rotatably connected to an eccentric clamping rod 7, and the end extending out of the first expansion plate 3 is provided with a clamping plate 8.

[0021] In this embodiment, preferably, a guide rail and slide groove structure is provided between the first expansion board 3 and the second expansion board 4 and the inner wall of the box body 1 to improve the stability of the expansion frame when it is pulled out and inserted.

[0022] Specifically, after the expansion frame is extended, the eccentric clamping rod 7 is rotated, so that the clamping plate 8 gradually increases the pressure on the first expansion plate 3 through the pull rod 6, and the friction between the first expansion plate 3 and the inner wall of the box body 1 increases until it is fully clamped, thereby fixing the first expansion plate 3 by friction.

[0023] like Figure 1 Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, a strip-shaped through groove 9 corresponding to the pull rod 6 is provided on the first expansion plate 3, so that the positions of the pull rod 6 and the pressing plate 8 can be kept fixed when the first expansion plate 3 is moved.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, in this example, preferably, a positioning block 10 corresponding to the eccentric pressing rod 7 is provided on the box body 1, and an arc-shaped slot 11 is provided on the positioning block 10. When the eccentric pressing rod 7 extends into the arc-shaped slot 11, the pressing plate 8 completely presses the first expansion plate 3 against the inner wall of the box body 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, a plurality of fixing mechanisms 5 are provided on the first expansion board 3 .

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in this example, preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a first positioning device and a second positioning device respectively located on the upper and lower second expansion plates 4, the first positioning device includes a box body 12 located outside the box body 1, and a pawl rod 13 is slidably connected to the box body 12, and a strip-shaped ratchet groove 14 is provided on the second expansion plate 4, the pawl rod 13 cooperates with the ratchet groove 14, and a clutch mechanism is connected to the pawl rod 13 to realize the clutch of the pawl rod 13 and the ratchet groove 14.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, in this example, preferably, the clutch mechanism includes a button plate 15 located on the surface of the box body 12, a driving rod 16 connected to the button plate 15, and an intermediate rod 17, the intermediate rod 17 is rotatably connected to the box body 12, and a torsion spring 18 is provided between the rotating shaft of the intermediate rod 17 and the box body 12, and the two ends of the intermediate rod 17 are respectively hinged with connecting rods 19, and the two connecting rods 19 are respectively hinged to the driving rod 16 and the clamping rod.

[0028] Specifically, when the expansion frame is pulled out, the end of the pawl rod 13 continuously separates and contacts with the ratchet in the ratchet groove 14, so that the withdrawal of the expansion frame has a sense of frustration, which improves the user experience of the expansion frame. When the expansion frame needs to be retracted, the button plate 15 is pressed, and the pawl rod 13 is lifted and completely separated from the ratchet groove 14 through the linkage action of the driving rod 16, the connecting rod 19 and the intermediate rod 17. At this time, the extension of the expansion frame will not be blocked by the pawl rod 13.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in this example, preferably, the second positioning device includes a spring top bead 20 located on the inner wall of the bottom of the box body 1, and the second expansion plate 4 is provided with a strip-shaped wave groove 21 corresponding to the spring top bead 20. The extension frame is pulled out and inserted to cause the spring top bead 20 to continuously expand and contract, thereby improving the experience of the expansion frame when pulled out and inserted.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, when the storage space inside the box body 1 needs to be expanded, the fixing mechanism 5 on the box body 1 is loosened to allow the first expansion plate 3 to slide against the inner wall of the box body 1, and then the box cover 2 and the box body 1 are separated, and the expansion frame is pulled out. When pulling it out, the positioning mechanism is used to position the pull-out distance of the expansion frame, and finally the first expansion plate 3 and the box body 1 are fixed by the fixing mechanism 5 to complete the expansion of the storage space inside the box body 1. Since the expansion frame is composed of the hard first expansion plate 3 and the second expansion plate 4, it can effectively protect the items stored inside like the box body 1.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. All technical solutions based on the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, certain improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
