[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0039] like Figure 1-19 As shown, a connection and locking structure for a suitcase and a frame includes a suitcase assembly 1 and a rideable frame assembly 2. The frame assembly 2 can be driven electrically or manually. When going out, the frame assembly can be ridden to propel the suitcase assembly, making it easier for the user to carry the suitcase. A connecting mechanism 3 is provided between the suitcase assembly 1 and the frame assembly 2 to connect them. When packing or unpacking luggage, it is usually necessary to open the box assembly 1 and place it flat on the bottom. The box assembly 1 and the frame assembly 2 are detachably connected by the connecting mechanism 3, which makes it convenient for users to remove the box assembly 2 for independent use. The connecting mechanism 3 is installed by sliding, which is simple and quick to assemble, meeting the user's convenience. After installation, the connecting mechanism 3 limits the left and right displacement of the box assembly 1, ensuring that the box assembly 1 will not wobble from side to side during use, thus increasing stability. A locking mechanism 4 is provided at the end between the box assembly 1 and the frame assembly 2. After sliding installation, the locking mechanism 4 limits the front and back movement of the box assembly 1, preventing the box assembly 1 from sliding during driving, further increasing stability during use.

[0040] Two connecting mechanisms 3 are provided between the housing assembly 1 and the frame assembly 2, located on both sides respectively. The connecting mechanism 3 includes a sliding member 5 at the bottom of the housing assembly 1 and a mounting part 6 at the upper end of the frame assembly 2 that adapts to the sliding member 5. The housing assembly 1 is assembled with the mounting part 6 in a sliding manner through the sliding part 5.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the sliding member 5 includes two embodiments: a long strip-shaped sliding member extending from one end of the housing assembly 1 to the other, and a block-shaped sliding member. The mounting part 6 includes a groove 9 adapted to the sliding member 5. The sliding member 5 includes a connecting plate 7 and a slider 8 at the bottom of the connecting plate 7. Assembly is achieved by the slider 8 sliding in the groove 9. The end of the groove 9 away from the front of the vehicle is open. During assembly, one side of the slider 8 is aligned with the open opening of the groove 9 and slid in until it reaches the end of the groove 9 to complete the assembly.

[0043] The open port of the slide groove 9 is provided with a guide part 10. The housing assembly 1 slides into the slide groove 9 along the guide part 10 via the slider 8. The guide part 10 is an inclined surface, which guides the slider 8 to slide in and helps the user install the housing assembly 1.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the sliding member 5 includes several connecting plates 7 and a slider 8 at the bottom of the connecting plates 7. The mounting part 6 includes a groove 9 that adapts to the slider 8. The groove 9 has a number of notches 11 equal to the number of slider 8. When installing the housing assembly 1, the slider 8 is first aligned with the notch 11, and then it is snapped into the notch 11 from top to bottom and slightly slid to one side to achieve assembly.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, the sliding component 5 includes several connecting plates 7 located at the bottom of the housing assembly 1 and sliders 8 at the bottom of the connecting plates 7. The mounting part 6 includes a block 12 protruding from the upper end of the trolley body 2. The number of blocks 12 is equal to that of sliders 8 and their positions correspond to each other. The block 12 is provided with a groove 9 adapted to the sliders 8. During installation, the side of the slider 8 at the bottom of the housing assembly 1 is aligned with the groove 9 and slid inward to achieve assembly.

[0048] like Figure 9-11 As shown, according to Embodiments 1, 2, and 3, the sliding member 5 is provided with longitudinal limiting blocks 13 on both sides. The sliding groove 9 is adapted to the contour of the longitudinal limiting block 13 to limit the longitudinal displacement of the housing assembly 1, so that it cannot be pulled upward after assembly. The longitudinal limiting block includes rectangular limiting blocks, L-shaped limiting blocks, and arc-shaped limiting blocks, but is not limited to rectangular limiting blocks, L-shaped limiting blocks, and arc-shaped limiting blocks.

[0049] Example 4

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, the sliding part 5 includes a sliding buckle, and the mounting part 6 also includes a sliding buckle. The sliding buckle is formed by folding. One end of the two sliding buckles is fixed to the box assembly 1 and the frame assembly 2 respectively, and the other end is fastened to each other. The assembly is carried out by sliding cooperation of the two sliding buckles.

[0051] Example 5

[0052] like Figure 7 As shown, the sliding member 5 includes a sliding buckle, and the mounting part 6 includes a groove. The housing assembly 1 is inserted into the mounting part 6 from top to bottom through the sliding buckle and then slid to one side to achieve assembly.

[0053] Example 6

[0054] like Figure 8 As shown, the sliding part 5 includes a screw, and the mounting part 6 includes two interconnected grooves of different sizes. The diameter of the larger groove is larger than that of the nut, and the diameter of the smaller groove is smaller than that of the nut. When assembling the housing assembly 1, the nut is aligned with the larger groove and inserted, and then slid to the side of the smaller groove so that the nut is engaged in the smaller groove and cannot be pulled out.

[0055] The connecting mechanism 3 also includes a non-removable connecting mechanism, which can be connected and fixed by screws and screw posts; or, based on embodiments 1-3, by opening screw posts on the sliding member 5, and by screwing screws from bottom to top into the screw posts at the bottom of the frame assembly to achieve a non-removable connection.

[0056] The locking mechanism 4 includes the following two technical solutions:

[0057] I. For example Figure 11 As shown, the locking mechanism 4 includes a locking groove 14 at the bottom of the housing assembly 1 and a latch 15 that can move up and down inside the frame assembly 2. The latch 15 moves up and down by means of a spring. When the housing assembly 1 and the frame assembly 2 are in the assembled state, the latch 15 protrudes from the frame assembly 2 and is engaged in the locking groove 14, pressing against the housing assembly 1 from the end to prevent it from moving, thus achieving lateral limitation of the housing assembly 1. A through hole 16 is provided on one side of the frame assembly 2, and a lever 17 is provided on the latch 15 protruding from the through hole 16. The latch 15 is unlocked by manually moving the lever 17 downward. After unlocking, the housing assembly can be slidably removed. After removal, the latch 15 is reset by the spring return force, making the operation relatively simple and convenient.

[0058] II. Figure 12As shown, the locking mechanism 4 includes a locking groove 14 at the bottom of the housing assembly 1, a vertically movable latch 15 inside the frame assembly 2, and a horizontally movable button 18 connected to one side of the latch. The latch 15 moves vertically by a spring. In the locked state, the latch protrudes above the frame assembly 2 and engages with the locking groove 14. The latch 15 has an inclined surface 19 inside, and the frame assembly 2 has a through hole 16 on one side. The button 18 is installed in the through hole 16, and the end of the button 18 abuts against the inclined surface 19 inside the latch 15. The end of the button 18 is an inclined surface adapted to the inclined surface 19. When the button 18 is pressed manually, it gradually moves inward, and the inclined surface drives the latch 15 to move downward, disengaging the latch 15 from the locking groove 14. At this time, the housing assembly 1 can be slidably removed. After releasing the button, the latch 15 is reset by the spring return force, which also resets the button 18.

[0059] The bottom of the housing assembly 1 is provided with two roller compartments 20 and four rollers 21. The width of the roller compartments 20 is adapted to the rollers 21. The rollers 21 are located at both ends of the roller compartments 20 and can be folded into the roller compartments 20. The top of the rollers 21 is rotatably connected to the housing assembly 1. When the housing assembly 1 is slidably assembled, the rollers 21 are first folded into the roller compartments 20 by rotation, and then the housing assembly 1 is slidably installed. This facilitates the assembly of the housing assembly 1 and avoids the bottom rollers from hitting the frame assembly 2, which would prevent assembly.

[0060] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
