Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of travel bag technology, specifically a travel bag with a pulley reinforcement structure. Background Technology

[0002] Suitcases are a type of luggage. They consist of a body, a telescopic handle, and wheels, and are widely used due to their convenience. Suitcases have a long history, evolving from simple wooden boxes and large leather trunks for clothing to today's various portable suitcases and rolling cases. High-quality suitcases generally pay attention to detail, with appropriate color combinations, neat stitching, uniform stitch length, no loose threads, smooth and flawless fabric without bubbles or exposed rough edges, and shiny metal hardware. Choosing reputable retailers and brands offers better after-sales service.

[0003] Currently, most suitcases on the market have wheels at the bottom, located at the four corners of the suitcase. These wheels are connected to the bottom of the suitcase using rivets or bolts. The wheels are the direct contact points between the suitcase and the bottom, bearing the weight of the suitcase under normal conditions. When encountering bumpy roads or falling from a height, the impact force is directly applied to the connection between the wheels and the bottom of the suitcase, easily causing deformation or cracking at the connection point. Specifically, since suitcases are generally made of plastic or aluminum, plastic suitcases lack sufficient impact resistance, making the wheel area prone to cracking. Aluminum suitcases, on the other hand, have slightly lower rigidity, causing localized deformation of the wheel area.

[0004] In its utility model patent application No. 202420198223.2, entitled "A Suitcase with Good Security," the inventor proposed a technical solution that uses an internal metal frame to strengthen the overall structural security of the suitcase. Experiments showed this effectively enhanced the overall structural security, but the impact resistance of the wheel area remained unsatisfactory. While thickening the material at the bottom connection point could improve security to some extent, the improvement was limited by material properties, and modifying the suitcase structure required the manufacturer to create new molds, increasing costs and making it unsuitable for existing suitcase products. Therefore, the inventor designed a suitcase with a wheel-reinforced structure. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a travel bag with a pulley reinforcement structure, which has the advantages of simple structure and reasonable design. By reinforcing the pulleys, the impact force on the pulley structure is distributed to other sturdy parts inside the bag, thereby enhancing impact resistance, reducing the risk of bag deformation or cracking, and improving the safety and tightness of the bag. This solves the problems mentioned in the above technical background.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a suitcase with a pulley reinforcement structure, the pulley reinforcement structure including a suitcase body, a pull rod, and a pulley device. The suitcase body is a hollow cavity structure with a metal frame installed inside the cavity. The pull rod, at the end away from the handle, passes through the suitcase body from top to bottom and connects to a pull rod seat inside the suitcase body. The pulley device is located at the bottom of the suitcase body and includes a pulley compartment recessed from the outside of the suitcase body to the inside, and a pulley that is slidably installed in the pulley compartment. A pulley reinforcement component is installed on the pulley compartment inside the suitcase body, and the pulley reinforcement component is fixedly connected to the pulley compartment by bolts.

[0007] Preferably, the enclosure is also equipped with a switch and lock for connecting the enclosure lid.

[0008] Preferably, the pull rod is a telescopic pull rod.

[0009] Preferably, there are two pulley devices, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the box.

[0010] Preferably, the pulley reinforcement is L-shaped, and both ends of the pulley reinforcement are connected to the frame beams on the metal frame.

[0011] Preferably, a plate-shaped connector is fixedly connected to the pulley reinforcement, and the connector is fixedly connected to the pull rod seat.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model provides a travel bag with a pulley reinforcement structure. The pulley reinforcement structure includes a case body, a pull rod, and a pulley device. The overall structure is simple and reasonably designed. The pulley device is located at the bottom of the case body and includes a pulley compartment recessed from the outside of the case body to the inside, and a pulley that is slidably installed in the pulley compartment. A pulley reinforcement component is installed on the pulley compartment inside the case body. The pulley reinforcement component is fixedly connected to the pulley compartment by bolts. The pulley reinforcement component can strengthen the joint between the pulley device and the bottom of the case body, and distribute the impact force on the pulley device to the metal frame or pull rod and other sturdy parts, thereby reducing the stress on the bottom joint of the case body, preventing deformation or cracking at the bottom joint of the case body, and thus enhancing the safety and fastness of the case body.
