The terms "first", "second", and the like, as used herein do not have any sequence or technical meaning. The term "connect" or "connected" as used herein, unless otherwise specified, means that the elements connected directly and indirectly.

[0030] In order to avoid confusion with the present application, some technical features known in the art are not described.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1 , the present embodiment provides a pull rod assembly 100, comprising a pair of parallel arranged sleeves (i.e. a first sleeve 110 and a second sleeve 120), a hollow cross beam 130 fixed on the sleeves, a limiting member 140 arranged in the hollow cross beam 130, and a movable rod member 150 telescopically installed in the sleeves.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 , the first sleeve 110 and the second sleeve 120 are symmetrically arranged, and only the first sleeve 110 will be described below, but it should be understood that the second sleeve 120 has the same structure and operates the same. The lower end of the first sleeve 110 is provided with a fixing hole 111, and the box body is usually provided with a fastener matched with the fixing hole 111, and the first sleeve 110 is fixedly connected with the box body through the fixing hole 111 and the fastener.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 3 , the hollow cross beam 130 extends rigidly between the upper portions of the first sleeve 110 and the second sleeve 120, and includes a beam body 131 for carrying the limiting member 140 and a cover 132 covering the beam body 131, and the beam body 131 and the cover 132 can be fixedly connected by screws, buckles or the like. An opening 1321 is formed on the upper end face of the cover 132, for exposing the unlocking button 144 of the limiting member 140, so as to achieve the purpose of touching and pressing the unlocking button 144 to unlock the pull rod assembly.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The limiting member 140 is arranged in the hollow beam 130 and comprises a first locking pin 141, a second locking pin 142, a torsion spring 143 and an unlocking button 144. The first locking pin 141 and the second locking pin 142 are arranged in the beam body 131 and can be slidably displaced along the axial direction (i.e. left and right movement). The first locking pin 141 and the second locking pin 142 have the same structure and operate in the same way, and only the first locking pin 141 will be described below. The first locking pin 141 comprises a locking protrusion 1411, a torsion spring arm mounting groove 1412 and a limiting step 1413. The locking protrusion 1411 is arranged on one side close to the first sleeve 110. The torsion spring arm mounting groove 1412 is arranged on the upper end face away from the locking protrusion 1411, and is used to fixedly mount the first torsion spring arm 1431 of the torsion spring 143. The limiting step 1413 is arranged on the middle section of the first locking pin 141, and is used to limit the displacement of the second locking pin 142. Specifically, the first locking pin 141 can be designed as a Z-shaped member to form the limiting step 1413. The first torsion spring arm 1431 of the torsion spring 143 is inclined towards the second locking pin 142, and the second torsion spring arm 1432 of the torsion spring 143 is inclined towards the first locking pin 141. Please refer to Figure 5 The unlocking button 144 is in the shape of a long strip, and an installation groove 1441 is arranged on the inner side of the unlocking button 144, which is used to mount the body of the torsion spring 143.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 The moving rod member 150 comprises a first moving rod 151 and a second moving rod 152 arranged in parallel, and a handle 153 connecting the first moving rod 151 and the second moving rod 152. The first moving rod 151 and the second moving rod 152 are arranged symmetrically left and right, and are respectively telescopically mounted in the first sleeve 110 and the second sleeve 120. The first moving rod 151 and the second moving rod 152 have the same structure and operate in the same way, and only the first moving rod 151 will be described below. The first moving rod 151 is provided with a first limiting hole 1511 on the inner side of the upper part, and a second limiting hole 1512 on the inner side of the lower part. The shapes of the first limiting hole 1511 and the second limiting hole 1512 match the shape of the locking protrusion 1411. When the locking protrusion 1411 extends into the first limiting hole 1511, the moving rod member 150 is limited in the fully contracted state. When the locking protrusion 1411 extends into the second limiting hole 1512, the moving rod member 150 is limited in the fully stretched state.

[0036] The handle 153 rigidly extends between the top of the first and second moving rods 151, 152. In the present embodiment, the handle 153 is offset relative to the longitudinal axis of the first and second moving rods 151, 152 in a direction away from the box to facilitate hand-held dragging by an operator.

[0037] In summary, the telescopic operation of the pull rod assembly 100 is achieved as follows: when the moving rod member 150 needs to be stretched or retracted from the fully retracted state or the fully stretched state, the first and second torsion spring arms 1431, 1432 of the torsion spring 143 are deformed to open to both sides under pressure, thereby driving the first and second locking pins 141, 142 to move towards each other, moving the locking protrusions 1411 of the first and second locking pins 141, 142 out of the first and second moving rods 151, 152, and out of the first and second sleeves 110, 120 through the through holes 112 in the first and second sleeves 110, 120, thereby unlocking the moving rod member 150. After unlocking, the handle 153 can be pulled up or pressed down to stretch or retract the moving rod member 150. To facilitate operation, the handle 153 can usually be pulled up or pressed down at the same time as the unlocking button 144 is pressed down, and the unlocking button 144 can be released after pulling or pressing. The first and second torsion spring arms 1431, 1432 of the torsion spring 143 are inwardly retracted under the action of the elastic force to restore the original state, driving the first and second locking pins 141, 142 to move away from each other, so that the locking protrusions 1411 of the first and second locking pins 141, 142 have a tendency to move into the first and second sleeves 110, 120 through the through holes 112 in the first and second sleeves 110, 120. When the second or first limiting hole 1512, 1511 of the moving rod member 150 moves to the through hole 112, the locking protrusion 1411 extends into the second or first limiting hole 1512, 1511, thereby limiting and locking the moving rod member 150.

[0038] Therefore, the present application effectively overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial utilization value. The above embodiments only exemplarily illustrate the principles and effects of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed by the present application should be covered by the claims of the present application.
