Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric luggage technology, and in particular to an electric luggage with an electric foot pedal. Background Technology

[0002] Suitcases are used for carrying belongings during business trips and travel. Traditional suitcases require the user to drag them, which can be a burden for travelers. Therefore, electric suitcases have emerged that combine the functions of traditional suitcases and electric vehicles. Powered by a built-in battery and equipped with a motor drive system, they can move automatically using electric power. Users can ride on the suitcase for short distances, effectively reducing the burden of dragging a traditional suitcase.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent CN118872942A, entitled "A Multifunctional Electric Suitcase," includes a main body with a door hinged to its side. A battery compartment is mounted on the top of the main body, driven wheels and steering motor wheels are mounted on the bottom of the main body. A foot pedal assembly is mounted on the outer side of the main body, and a steering mechanism for selecting the mode of movement is mounted on the top of the main body. The foot pedal assembly includes two storage slots on the left and right sides of the main body, respectively. Two symmetrical blocks are fixedly connected to the inner side of each storage slot. A foot pedal rod that can rotate back and forth is rotatably connected between opposite sides of the two symmetrical blocks via a damping pivot.

[0004] In the above solution, before riding the electric luggage box, the pedal needs to be rotated around the damping pivot to unfold it from the storage slot by hand, which is cumbersome and seriously affects the efficiency of use, especially in emergency movement scenarios. Secondly, since the pedal is exposed to the outside of the box for a long time, it is easy to get dirty from the road. During the manual unfolding process, the user's palm comes into direct contact with the pollutants, which poses a hygiene and safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] This embodiment mainly describes an electric suitcase with an electric pedal, as detailed below:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the electric suitcase with electric pedals includes a suitcase body 1, a control handle 2, and a front wheel 3 and a rear wheel 4 located at the bottom of the suitcase body 1. The rear wheel 4 is connected to a motor to drive the suitcase body 1. The control handle 2 is rotatably connected to the suitcase body 1, and its lower end is connected to the front wheel 3 to control the riding direction of the suitcase, allowing users to easily control the direction of movement of the suitcase and making it convenient for flexible use in different scenarios. The two outer side walls 13 of the suitcase body 1 are provided with storage slots 11 for storing the electric pedal assembly 5, which saves space and keeps the appearance of the suitcase neat. The electric pedal assembly 51 is used for pedaling with the left and right feet when riding. The electric pedal assembly 51 includes an electronic control component 51 located inside the suitcase body 1 and a left pedal 52 and a right pedal 53 located in the two storage slots 11 respectively. The left pedal 52 and the right pedal 53 are both connected to the electronic control component 51, which drives the two pedals to unfold outside the storage slots 11 or fold inside the storage slots 11. This design enables the automatic unfolding and folding of the foot pedals, which is more convenient and efficient than traditional manual operation. Especially in emergency movement scenarios, users do not need to spend time unfolding the foot pedals by hand and can quickly put them into use, greatly improving efficiency. At the same time, it avoids users coming into contact with dirt on the foot pedals.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the electronic control assembly 51 further includes a first motor 511 and a second motor 512. The first motor 511 and the second motor 512 are respectively fixed on both sides inside the housing 1, and the two motors are vertically arranged. The output end of the motor passes through the corresponding side's storage slot 11 and can rotate relative to the storage slot 11. The left foot pedal 52 is connected to the output shaft 5111 of the first motor 511, and unfolds to the outside of the corresponding side's storage slot 11 or folds into the corresponding side's storage slot 11 as the first motor 511 rotates; the right foot pedal 53 is connected to the output shaft 5111 of the second motor 512, and unfolds to the outside of the corresponding side's storage slot 11 or folds into the corresponding side's storage slot 11 as the second motor 512 rotates. When the motor starts, the output shaft 5111 drives the corresponding foot pedal to rotate 90° to the horizontal unfolded state (stepping position) or rotates 90° in the opposite direction to the vertically folded state (storage position). By using two independent motors to control the left foot pedal 52 and the right foot pedal 53 respectively, precise control can be achieved, ensuring the smooth unfolding and folding of the foot pedals, improving the stability and reliability of the electric luggage box, and providing users with a more comfortable riding experience.

[0031] like Figure 5As shown, both the top and bottom walls of the two storage slots 11 are provided with connecting holes 611 for the corresponding motors to pass through, facilitating motor installation and fixation. The cross-sections of the two motor output shafts 5111 are non-circular. One side of the left foot pedal 52 and right foot pedal 53 is provided with mounting holes 521 that match the cross-sections of the motor output shafts 5111. The left foot pedal 52 is fitted onto the output shaft 5111 of the first motor 511 through the mounting hole 521 and rotates with the rotation of the first motor 511. The right foot pedal 53 is fitted onto the output shaft 5111 of the second motor 512 through the mounting hole 521 and rotates with the rotation of the second motor 512. This non-circular motor output shaft 5111 and mounting hole 521 fit effectively prevents relative rotation of the foot pedals on the motor output shaft 5111, ensuring more stable and reliable transmission between the foot pedals and the motor, and improving the service life and safety of the electric luggage compartment.

[0032] Specifically, the cross-sections of the two motor output shafts 5111 are designed in a "D" shape, and the mounting holes 521 are also "D" shaped. Besides the "D" shape, the cross-sections of the two motor output shafts 5111 can also be racetrack shaped, with the mounting holes 521 correspondingly racetrack shaped. Designing the cross-sections of the motor output shafts 5111 in a "D" or racetrack shape effectively prevents relative rotation of the foot pedal on the motor output shafts 5111, ensuring stable and reliable transmission between the foot pedal and the motor, providing users with a more convenient and reliable user experience. At the same time, the "D" or racetrack shape facilitates processing, manufacturing, and installation, reduces production costs, improves production efficiency, and allows for selection based on actual needs and production conditions, providing greater flexibility in the design and manufacturing of electric luggage cases, further optimizing product performance and cost-effectiveness. The cross-sectional design of the motor output shaft 5111 can also be a polygon such as a triangle, quadrilateral, or pentagon. The hole shape of the mounting hole 521 can also be a matching polygonal hole such as a triangle, quadrilateral, or pentagon. Alternatively, if the cross-section of the motor output shaft 5111 is irregular, the hole shape of the mounting hole 521 can also be an irregular hole that matches it.

[0033] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the two side walls 13 of the box body 1 have mounting openings 132 that communicate with the interior of the box body 1. The box body 1 contains mounting seats 6 fixed at the two mounting openings 132. Each mounting seat 6 has a mounting groove 61 with its opening facing the mounting opening 132 on its respective side. The mounting groove 61 is inserted from inside the box body 1 into the mounting opening 132 on its respective side, and the outer end of the mounting groove 61 is flush with the outer end of the mounting opening 132 on that side, forming the storage groove 11. This design makes the structure of the storage groove 11 more stable, better able to support the weight of the foot pedal, and facilitates the installation and removal of the foot pedal, making maintenance and replacement convenient. The cooperation between the mounting seats 6 and the mounting grooves 61 improves the overall structural strength and stability of the electric luggage box, enhancing the product's durability. The connecting holes 611 mentioned above are located on the top and bottom walls of the mounting groove 61.

[0034] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the mounting groove 61 has vertically extending mounting plates 62 at its top and bottom, and fixing holes 621 on both sides of the mounting plates 62. Figure 6 As shown, the inner walls of the two side walls 13 of the housing 1 are provided with connecting posts 131 corresponding to the fixing holes 621. Each connecting post 131 has a threaded hole extending along its length. The mounting base 6 is fixed to the housing 1 by screws passing through the fixing holes 621 and the threaded holes in sequence. This fixing method is simple and reliable, ensuring a firm connection between the mounting base 6 and the housing 1, preventing the mounting base 6 from loosening due to vibration or other reasons during use, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the foot pedal. Screw fixing also facilitates installation and disassembly, making it convenient to maintain and replace the mounting base 6, further improving the service life and reliability of the electric luggage case.

[0035] Specifically, the first motor 511 and the second motor 512 are fixed to the top of the corresponding mounting slot 61 or the bottom of the corresponding mounting slot 61 with screws. This fixing method ensures the stable installation of the motors in the mounting slots 61, preventing displacement or loosening of the motors due to vibration or other reasons during operation, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the motors and the smooth unfolding and folding of the foot pedals. Fixing the motors with screws not only simplifies the structure but also facilitates installation and disassembly, making it convenient for maintenance and replacement of the motors, further improving the reliability and maintainability of the electric luggage compartment.

[0036] Specifically, the two storage slots 11 are symmetrically arranged. This symmetrical design makes the electric suitcase more aesthetically pleasing and harmonious, while ensuring the balance and stability of the left foot pedal 52 and right foot pedal 53 during unfolding and folding. The symmetrical storage slots 11 provide equal support and protection for the left foot pedal 52 and right foot pedal 53, improving the overall performance of the product and the user experience.

[0037] Specifically, the left foot pedal 52 and right foot pedal 53 are equipped with several anti-slip patterns. These patterns effectively increase the friction between the pedals and the user's shoes, preventing accidents caused by foot slippage during riding and improving the safety of the electric luggage. The anti-slip patterns can also be designed and optimized according to different usage scenarios and user needs, such as using different shapes, depths, and spacing to meet varying anti-slip requirements, further enhancing the practicality and user satisfaction of the electric luggage.

[0038] In summary, this utility model of an electric luggage suitcase with an electric foot pedal achieves automatic unfolding and folding of the foot pedal through a series of innovative designs, improving efficiency and convenience while enhancing product stability and safety. Its simple structure and reasonable design give it high practical value and market competitiveness, meeting user needs in various scenarios and providing a more convenient and comfortable travel experience.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] This embodiment is an alternative to the electronic control component 51 in Embodiment 1. Specifically, the electronic control component 51 includes a drive motor, which is vertically mounted inside the housing 1. The output end of the drive motor has a motor gear. Connecting rods are fixed to one side of the left foot pedal 52 and the right foot pedal 53. The connection method between the connecting rods and the left foot pedal 52 and the right foot pedal 53 can refer to the connection method between the output shaft 5111 of the first motor 511 and the left foot pedal 52, and the output shaft 5111 of the second motor 512 and the right foot pedal 53 in Embodiment 1. The two ends of the two connecting rods are rotatably connected to the top and bottom walls of the corresponding storage slots 11, and both connecting rods are fixedly connected to driven gears that mesh with the motor gears. When the drive motor rotates, the motor gears and the two driven gears rotate, causing the two connecting rods to rotate, thereby causing the left foot pedal 52 and the right foot pedal 53 to rotate simultaneously, realizing the folding or unfolding of the foot pedals. The simultaneous folding and unfolding of the two foot pedals is controlled by a drive motor and gear transmission system, which simplifies operation, reduces the number of motors, lowers costs and complexity, and reduces the space occupied by the motors inside the housing 1, thereby improving the space utilization rate inside the housing 1.
