For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0021] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments. In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the following solutions are proposed:

[0022] Example 1, as Figures 1-3 As shown, the drive mechanism of the luggage case brake device includes a housing 1 having a sliding groove formed therein, within which a slide button 4 is slidably mounted. A brake traction member 3 is also slidably mounted within the housing 1. The brake traction member 3 is internally divided into several chambers, each of which is connected to a set of brake cables 2. A transmission assembly 5 is connected to the slide button 4 and the brake traction member 3. The slide button 4 drives the brake traction member 3 and the brake cables 2 through the transmission assembly 5.

[0023] The transmission assembly 5 includes an active rack 51, a transmission rack 52 and a gear 53. The sliding button 4 includes an external sliding shell 41. The sliding shell 41 is fixedly connected to the active rack 51. The transmission rack 52 is fixedly connected to the brake traction member 3. The gear 53 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The gear 53 is engaged with the active rack 51, and the gear 53 is engaged with the transmission rack 52.

[0024] When the operator slides the slider 4, the active rack 51 rotates the gear 53, which in turn moves the transmission rack 52, which in turn moves the brake traction member 3 in the opposite direction of the movement of the slider 4. When the operator manipulates the slider 4 to retract the brake cable 2 toward the housing 1, the cable 2 pulls the brake pad, pressing it tightly against the wheel rim, generating friction and thereby slowing or stopping the wheel. Sliding the slider 4 to perform braking is simple, convenient, and can be operated with one hand.

[0025] Example 2, as Figure 4 As shown, a locking tongue 43 is slidably connected to the sliding housing 41. The sliding trajectory of the locking tongue 43 is perpendicular to the sliding trajectory of the sliding housing 41. A second spring 44 is provided between the locking tongue 43 and the inner wall of the sliding housing 41. The second spring 44 is fixedly connected to the locking tongue 43 and the inner wall of the sliding housing 41. A notch 45 is formed on the inner side wall of the sliding groove of the housing 1, which is in the same shape as the locking tongue 43. When the brake traction member 3 moves to the deepest part of the housing 1, the locking tongue 43 faces the notch 45.

[0026] When the operator slides the slide button 4 so that the lock tongue 43 is facing the notch 45, the No. 2 spring 44 will push the lock tongue 43 to move outward, that is, push the lock tongue 43 to move toward the notch 45. At this time, the lock tongue 43 just slides into the notch 45. Due to the engagement of the lock tongue 43 and the notch 45, the slide button 4 cannot continue to slide. The slide button 4 is locked, and then the position of the brake traction member 3, the brake cable 2 and the brake pad is locked, thereby achieving the purpose of locking the brake.

[0027] Example 3, as Figure 4 As shown, the lock tongue 43 has an oblique sliding opening 431 in the middle, facing the button 42. The button 42 has an oblique sliding surface 422 at its bottom, parallel to and in contact with the oblique sliding surface 422. A limit pin 46 is fixedly mounted within the sliding housing 41, and a sliding groove 421 is formed on the button 42, which is slidably connected to the limit pin 46. The limit pin 46 not only limits the movement of the button 42, preventing it from sliding linearly, but also prevents it from sliding excessively and detaching from the housing 1.

[0028] When the operator finishes the locking action of the slide button 4, the button 42 is pressed, the button 42 moves downward, the button 42 pushes the lock tongue 43 to slide away from the slot 45 through the oblique sliding port 431 and the sliding of the oblique sliding surface 422, and when the lock tongue 43 completely slides away from the slot 45, the unlocking action is completed, so that the slide button 4 can be continuously pushed to control the brake.

[0029] As shown in the fourth embodiment, Figure 2 A group of first springs 31 are arranged in each single chamber of the brake traction member 3, the first springs 31 are sleeved outside the brake cable 2, the brake cable 2 is connected with a limiting ball 22 at the end, and the limiting ball 22 has a diameter larger than that of the first spring 31.

[0030] When the slide button 4 drives the brake traction member 3 to slide through the transmission assembly 5, the two ends of the first spring 31 are in contact with the limiting ball 22 and the inner side wall of the brake traction member 3 respectively, the first spring 31 is contracted, the first spring 31 pulls the brake cable 2 into the housing 1 through the limiting ball 22, so as to pull the brake pad to brake. The flexible connection between the brake traction member 3 and the brake cable 2 is realized through the first spring 31, so that the damage of the brake traction member 3 caused by the reaction force of the brake pad to the brake cable 2 in the direct hard connection is avoided.

[0031] When the button 42 is pressed to release the brake state, the lock tongue 43 slides out of the slot 45, the first spring 31 drives the brake traction member 3 to move towards the connection between the cable sleeve 21 and the housing 1, then the traction member 3 drives the slide button 4 to move through the transmission assembly 5, and the slide button 4 is automatically reset. The automatic rebound reset of the slide button 4 after unlocking is realized through the first spring 31.

[0032] As shown in the fifth embodiment, Figure 1 The cable sleeve 21 is arranged at one end of the brake cable 2 outside the housing 1. The cable sleeve 21 can isolate the brake cable 2 from the outside, so as to avoid the collision and friction with the surrounding parts during the operation of the brake cable 2 and cause damage.

[0033] The basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model are shown and described. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and the description in the specification only illustrate the principle of the utility model, and various changes and improvements can be made to the utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the utility model claimed. The protection scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
