Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of luggage frame structure, and in particular to a seamless luggage closed frame structure. Background Technology
[0002] A suitcase, also known as a travel case or rolling case, is a box carried when traveling to store belongings; it is a type of luggage. Suitcases are typically used to hold clothing, personal care items, and souvenirs needed for a trip. Currently, suitcases on the market can be broadly divided into two types: zippered suitcases and framed suitcases. Zippered suitcases are lighter and more compact, making them popular. However, existing zippered suitcases suffer from drawbacks during production. The shell assembly is inconvenient, and the zippers require manual sewing, demanding more manpower and hindering automated production. Some use plastic snap-on zippers, but these are prone to breakage, resulting in lower security.
[0003] There is a need for a new type of luggage frame structure that can solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a seamless closed frame structure for a suitcase. By technically modifying the existing suitcase structure, it solves the problems of existing suitcases requiring sewn zipper assembly, resulting in low production efficiency, poor sealing, and insufficient sturdiness at the suitcase closure.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A seamless closed frame structure for a suitcase includes an upper shell, a lower shell, an upper frame structure, and a lower frame structure. The upper frame structure is nested along the lower edge of the upper shell, and the lower frame structure is nested along the upper edge of the lower shell. When the upper and lower shells are closed, the upper and lower frame structures are spliced together, and a snap-fit structure is provided at the splicing surface of the upper and lower frame structures. The inner surfaces of the upper and lower frame structures relative to the inner cavity of the suitcase have zipper grooves for inserting zippers for inner pockets.
[0007] Preferably, the engaging structure includes a first protrusion and a first recess, which are respectively disposed on one side of the opposite surfaces of the upper frame structure and the lower frame structure, and the first protrusion and the first recess are engaged with each other when the upper and lower shells of the luggage are closed.
[0008] Preferably, the inner pocket zipper inserted in the zipper slot includes a chain tooth portion, a chain fabric portion, and a reinforcing fabric edge. The chain fabric portions are connected to each other through the chain tooth portions, and a reinforcing fabric edge is provided on the outer side of the chain fabric portion. The reinforcing fabric edge is inserted and installed in the zipper slot.
[0009] Preferably, the upper and lower shells of the suitcase are rotatably connected by a hinge structure on one side of the back, and a locking structure is also provided between the upper and lower shells of the suitcase.
[0010] Preferably, the upper frame structure and the lower frame structure are provided with box mounting slots, and the upper frame structure and the lower frame structure are fitted and nested in the box mounting slots at the edge of the opening of the upper shell or the lower shell of the luggage.
[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the mounting slot of the suitcase is provided with a second recess, and the side of the opening edge of the upper shell or lower shell of the suitcase is provided with a second protrusion, and the second protrusion and the second recess are engaged with each other.
[0012] Preferably, the mounting slot of the housing is encapsulated with potting compound, and the upper frame structure and the lower frame structure are fixed in the mounting slot of the housing by the potting compound.
[0013] Preferably, the upper frame structure and the lower frame structure are made of ABS rigid plastic or metal.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] This utility model features a square frame structure installed along the edge of the suitcase shell. The upper and lower frame structures have mounting slots for the suitcase, which are then fixed to the opening edge of the upper or lower shell of the suitcase with adhesive. Furthermore, an interlocking structure is provided between the upper and lower frame structures, making the upper and lower frames more securely fastened after the upper or lower shell of the suitcase is interlocked.
[0016] Furthermore, this utility model eliminates the need to sew zippers onto the suitcase shell. Instead, the frame is directly prepared, fitted onto the suitcase shell, and glued for fixation. This makes installation simple, operation convenient, and production efficiency higher. When in use, it is further secured by a locking mechanism installed on the suitcase shell, making it even more convenient and quick to use.
[0017] The square frame structure of this utility model is also provided with a zipper slot. The zipper with reinforced fabric edge is installed in the zipper slot to form the inner bag structure of the suitcase. The inner bag does not need to be sewn into the suitcase, making installation, disassembly and use more convenient. Attached Figure Description
