The existing folding trolley case has the function of folding and storing, saves storage space, and is convenient to carry, and is widely used when buying vegetables or carrying, as a carrying tool to assist in carrying objects.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN217446914U discloses a cable-stayed folding vegetable-buying cart, which is combined and connected to include a box body bottom plate, a box body side plate, a box body front end plate, and a box body back plate with an open top. The box body bottom plate is provided with a hinge shaft on one side, which can be rotated and turned over. The box body back plate is fixedly connected with a fixed plate body on the outside. The fixed plate body is provided with a receiving groove on both sides. The receiving groove is provided with a stretching rod inside. The stretching rod is provided with a rectangular cylinder on the outside of the lower end. The rectangular cylinder is provided with a strip-shaped groove at the lower end. The strip-shaped groove is in the shape of a gourd. A connecting rod is provided through the middle of the strip-shaped groove. The connecting rod is rotatably connected to both sides of the receiving groove. The stretching rod is set to be adjustable in inclination. The stretching rod and the box body can be adjusted in stretching angle. The box body and the stretching rod are not easily damaged.

[0004] In order to realize the inclination adjustment, the existing stretching rod needs to be provided with a connecting rod at the middle of the strip-shaped groove at the lower end, which is used as a hinge point to connect the stretching rod. The connecting rod is provided at both ends of the box body. Since it needs to bear a certain load, it is preferably made of high-strength metal material, and the length requirement is relatively high, which increases the material cost and leads to high cost. Therefore, it needs to be improved. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to solve the problem of high cost caused by the long length of the connecting rod for hinge fixing of the stretching rod, the technical scheme provides a trolley hinge structure of a trolley case.

[0006] The purpose of the technical scheme is achieved as follows:

[0007] A trolley hinge structure of a trolley case, comprising a box body, a trolley and a connecting rod arranged on the side plate of the box body, wherein the side plate of the box body is formed with a mounting groove, the mounting groove is provided with mounting holes on both sides, the connecting rod is provided with mounting holes on both ends, and the trolley is hingedly connected to the mounting groove through the connecting rod.

[0008] The connecting rod is provided with a strip-shaped slot which penetrates through the end faces of the connecting rod along the length direction of the connecting rod, the inner wall of the side plate of the box body is provided with an abutting part and a limiting part, the abutting part and the limiting part are respectively located on the opposite sides of the mounting slot, and the connecting rod is embedded with the abutting part through the strip-shaped slot;

[0009] When the connecting rod slides along the axial direction relative to the abutting part, the connecting rod is sequentially arranged in the corresponding mounting hole and the pull rod, and at this time, the connecting rod is located between the abutting part and the limiting part.

[0010] Through the above technical scheme, when the pull rod hinge structure of the pull rod box is normally used, the lower end of the pull rod is hingedly connected in the mounting slot on the front side of the box body, the pull rod can be telescopic adjusted and hidden in the mounting slot, the pull rod can be rotated forwardly relative to the box body around the connecting rod as the hinge axis, so as to facilitate pulling the box body and reduce the deformation degree of the box body; the position of the strip-shaped slot of the connecting rod is moved backward to be close to the abutting part, the opening of the strip-shaped slot is aligned with the abutting part for embedding, and then the connecting rod is abutted on the abutting part and pushed forward along the axial direction, so that the connecting rod slides and then the one end thereof passes through the mounting hole on one side, the pull rod and the mounting hole on the other side in sequence downwardly, until the end is abutted on the limiting part and stopped, at this time, the connecting rod is separated from the abutting part, the other end thereof along the sliding direction is abutted on the side wall of the abutting part, and the compact and efficient limiting and fixing are realized through the limiting part and the abutting part, the length required by the connecting rod is shortened, the material cost is reduced, and then the production cost is reduced.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting rod is a circular pipe.

[0012] Through the above technical scheme, since the connecting rod is selected as a circular pipe, the hollow structure is formed in the connecting rod, the shape of the strip-shaped slot tends to be a circular slot, more space is provided in the sliding process to reduce the friction and resistance when sliding along the axial direction, the connecting rod is more easily embedded with the abutting part, the operation is more smooth, the circular pipe design can more effectively utilize the raw materials, compared with other shapes, the space is larger, the hollow structure reduces the amount of materials used, thereby improving the material utilization rate and reducing the production cost.

[0013] Preferably, the shape of the strip-shaped slot is rectangular.

[0014] Through the above technical scheme, the square slot is matched with the abutting part, the swing of the connecting rod after being embedded is reduced, the shape of the square slot is relatively simple, the square slot can be more easily manufactured through mechanical processing or mold forming, the complexity in the manufacturing process and the required time are reduced, and the production cost is reduced.

[0015] Preferably, the connecting rod comprises a connecting section and abutting sections arranged on both sides of the connecting section.

[0016] The two opposite side walls corresponding to the strip-shaped slot are provided with the abutting sections, the end portions of the two abutting sections are matched to form the opening, and the abutting sections have edges for abutting against the box to limit rotation.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the edges on the two abutting sections cooperate to form a limiting plane, which can tightly abut against the box to provide additional support for the connecting rod, so that the pull rod will not be rotated when in use, has good stability, reduces the wear of the connecting rod during long-term use, and prolongs the service life.

[0018] Preferably, the opposite sides of the slot opening of the strip-shaped slot have inclined surfaces, and the two inclined surfaces are matched to make the opening outwardly flared.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, the two inclined surfaces are matched to make the opening outwardly flared, which makes it easier and smoother to align and fit the abutting part, so that it is guided to embed along the inclined direction of the inclined surface, improving the efficiency and accuracy of assembly.

[0020] Preferably, the abutting part has a first plane, which is arranged on one side of the abutting part along the embedding direction of the connecting rod;

[0021] The mounting hole on one side of the mounting slot opening direction penetrates through the front side wall of the box, and the inner wall of the mounting hole opposite to the penetration end has a second plane;

[0022] The span distance between the first plane and the second plane along the sliding direction of the connecting rod is less than the thickness of the connecting section.

[0023] Through the above technical solution, since the span distance between the first plane and the inner wall of the mounting hole is less than the thickness of the connecting section, the first plane will be depressed during the sliding of the connecting rod through the mounting hole, and the abutting part will be deformed, so that the connecting rod can smoothly pass through the mounting hole. Once the connecting rod is separated from the abutting part, the abutting part recovers, so that the side wall of the connecting section and the side wall of the abutting part are relatively aligned to form the abutting limiting on this side, limit the swing of the connecting rod under stress, and achieve stable limiting state to improve the installation stability.

[0024] Preferably, the abutting part and the limiting part are arranged in position and the spacing distance of the opposite side walls is adapted to the length of the connecting rod.

[0025] Through the above technical solution, when the connecting rod is located between the abutting part and the limiting part and clamped in the two mounting holes, the two ends can be stably abutted, limited and fixed when sliding to the specified position, reducing the axial swing and looseness of the connecting rod under stress, and further improving the stability.

[0026] Preferably, the box has a reinforcing rib, the limiting part and the abutting part are arranged on the reinforcing rib, and the limiting plane abuts against the reinforcing rib.

[0027] By the above technical scheme, the reinforcing rib is an important structure in the box structure for increasing strength and stability, by arranging the limiting part and the abutting part on the reinforcing rib, the structural strength of these components can be further enhanced, and external force and impact can be better resisted; the connecting rod abuts against the reinforcing rib through the edge, and the reinforcing rib is arranged protruding perpendicularly to the mounting hole to limit the size of the hole diameter of the mounting hole, so as to reduce the swing range of the connecting rod in the mounting hole after installation, and further improve the installation stability and strength.

[0028] The technical scheme has the following prominent and beneficial technical effects compared with the prior art:

[0029] 1. According to the technical scheme, the opening of the strip-shaped groove on the connecting rod is aligned with the abutting part, the abutting part is embedded into the strip-shaped groove, and then the connecting rod is pushed forward along the strip-shaped groove to slide forward, so that the connecting rod passes through the first mounting hole, the through hole on the pull rod and the second mounting hole in sequence, and then one end of the connecting rod abuts against the limiting part and the other end abuts against the abutting part, so that the limiting and fixing are realized, the stability and durability of the connecting rod structure are enhanced, the length of the connecting rod required is shortened, the material cost is reduced, and then the production cost is reduced;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The specific embodiments of the technical solution will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Embodiment:

[0044] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a pull rod hinge structure of a pull rod box includes a box 1 and a pull rod 2. The box 1 is foldable, and a mounting groove 3 is formed on the front side of the box 1. The mounting groove 3 includes two mounting grooves 3, and the grooves are vertically through to the lower end of the box 1. The pull rod 2 is located on the front side of the box 1 and includes two rod body portions. The pull rod 2 is adapted to the mounting groove 3 and is correspondingly embedded. Two connecting rods 4 are arranged between the box 1 and the pull rod 2, one for each mounting groove 3. The two rod body portions at the lower end of the pull rod 2 are correspondingly embedded in the mounting groove 3 to hinge, so that the pull rod 2 can rotate forward or backward relative to the box 1 around the connecting rod 4.

[0045] Referring to 9 and Figure 10 Each connecting rod 4 has a strip-shaped groove 5 that is through both ends along the length direction of the connecting rod 4. When the connecting rod 4 is a circular rod, the strip-shaped groove 5 is formed by cutting the side wall along the length direction of the circular rod. The shape of the strip-shaped groove 5 can also be set as a square groove or other shapes that are adapted to the abutting portion 7.

[0046] The connecting rod 4 includes a connecting section 41 and two abutting sections 42 integrally formed on both sides of the connecting section 41. The strip-shaped groove 5 has corresponding abutting sections 42 formed on the opposite side walls. The strip-shaped groove 5 has a slot corresponding to the side wall of the connecting rod 4, and the channel width of the slot is adapted to the thickness of the abutting portion 7.​

[0047] The opposite sides of the slot mouth of the strip-shaped slot 5 are provided with inclined surfaces 13, and the inclined surfaces 13 on the opposite sides face each other and are inclined in a direction matched to make the opening of the strip-shaped slot 5 outwardly flared. Each abutting section 42 is provided with an edge 10, and is arranged at the outer side edge of the corresponding inclined surface 13. The two edges 10 on the connecting rod 4 are parallel and in the same plane, forming a rotation limiting plane.
