[0033] The utility model will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0034] As Figures 1-4As shown, a footrest structure for a luggage case includes a footrest support 1 mounted on the luggage case, the footrest support 1 is shaped with a sliding cavity 11 along the length direction, the sliding cavity 11 is slidingly mounted with an elastically extended support body 12, a pressing type elastic self-locking mechanism 2 and a sliding guide structure 13 are arranged between the sliding cavity 11 and the support body 12; the pressing type elastic self-locking mechanism 2 includes a guide rail 21 arranged along the length direction of the support body 12, the outer end of the guide rail 21 is mounted with a locking structure, the locking structure includes a locking block 24 preventing the guide column 31 from retreating and a guide block 26 guiding the guide column 31 to move from the locking block 24 to the guide rail 21, the sliding cavity 11 is provided with a guide column 31 slidingly matched with the guide rail 21 and a movable support 3 for the guide column 31 to swing laterally.

[0035] When the support body 12 partially extends out of the sliding cavity 11, it has the function of supporting the footrest, otherwise, the support body 12 can be retracted into the sliding cavity 11 for hidden storage; when the support body 12 needs to be hidden and stored in the sliding cavity 11, the support body 12 is pushed, at this time the guide column 31 located in the sliding cavity 11 moves from the guide rail 21 to the locking block 24 of the locking structure, at this time the locking block 24 can prevent the guide column 31 from retreating, at this time the support body 12 is locked in the sliding cavity 11; when pressing the hidden, people can achieve by pressing with their feet, without bending down and using hands, when the footrest structure is needed, the support body 12 is pressed again, at this time the guide block 26 of the locking structure can move the guide column 31 from the locking block 24 to the guide rail 21, at this time the support column will be elastically popped out for people to step on; thereby realizing the hiding and extending of the footrest; the efficiency of hiding and extending is extremely fast, and the space occupied by the luggage case is less, which is convenient for most people to use.

[0036] Specifically, the sliding guide structure 13 includes a guide rod 14 arranged along the length direction of the sliding cavity 11, the support body 12 is shaped with a guide hole 15 slidingly matched with the guide rod 14, and the guide rod 14 is sleeved with a compression spring 16 elastically popping out the support body 12; when the guide column 31 is separated from the locking structure, i.e. the support body 12 is needed to be used for footrest support, the elastic force of the compression spring 16 will drive the support body 12 to pop out outward along the sliding cavity 11; when popping out, the guide rod 14 and the guide hole 15 are slidingly matched to ensure the stability of the movement of the support body 12.

[0037] Further, the length of the guide rail 21 is limited, when the guide column 31 and the guide rail 21 are slidingly matched to the end after popping out, the support body 12 cannot continue to pop out, preventing the entire support body 12 from sliding out of the power cavity, and part of the support body 12 located in the sliding cavity 11 can have a certain stress space to prevent the support body 12 from being bent and damaged.

[0038] Further, the guide rod 14 is fixedly installed at one end of the inner end wall of the sliding cavity 11, and the compression spring 16 is fixedly installed at one end of the inner end wall of the sliding cavity 11; when the support body 12 is hidden and stored, the compression spring 16 will be compressed, and since the outer diameter of the compression spring 16 is smaller than the inner diameter of the guide hole 15, the compression spring 16 can be compressed in the guide hole 15, so as to ensure that the support body 12 can be completely hidden in the sliding cavity 11.

[0039] The locking structure comprises a first extension track 22 and a second extension track 23 which are in communication with the guide track 21, and the first extension track 22 and the second extension track 23 cooperate with the guide track 21 to form a track similar to a “Y” shape; in order to ensure better communication between the first extension track 22 and the guide track 21, a guide surface is arranged between the guide track 21 and the first extension track 22, which can increase the communication degree and smoothness of the first extension track 22 and the guide track 21, so that when the support body 12 is locked, the guide column 31 will enter the first extension track 22 after moving to the end of the guide track 21.

[0040] Subsequently, the locking block 24 and the guide block 26 are arranged between the first extension track 22 and the second extension track 23, and the guide column 31 moves along the guide track 21, the first extension track 22, the locking block 24, the second extension track 23 and the guide track 21 in sequence; after the guide column 31 moves from the first extension track 22 to the locking block 24, the support body 12 moves inward by a part, and then cooperates with the locking block 24, at this time the locking block 24 locks the guide column 31, preventing the support body 12 from being popped out.

[0041] When the support body 12 needs to be unlocked and popped out, the support body 12 is pressed, the guide block 26 of the support body 12 cooperates with the guide column 31, the structure of the guide block 26 guides the guide column 31 to move from the locking block 24 to the second extension track 23, since the second extension track 23 is in communication with the guide track 21, the guide column 31 continues to move along the guide track 21, so that the support body 12 can continue to be popped out.

[0042] Specifically, the locking block 24 is formed with a concave locking groove 25, and the guide block 26 is formed with a first inclined surface 27 which guides the guide column 31 to move from the first extension track 22 to the locking groove 25. When the support body 12 is pressed, the support body 12 is pressed to the end of the sliding cavity 11, the guide column 31 is located at the end of the first extension track 22, and cooperates with the first inclined surface 27 of the guide block 26, then the support body 12 is released, and the support body 12 moves outward by a part, at this time the guide column 31 moves to the locking groove 25 of the locking block 24 under the guidance of the first inclined surface 27; at this time, the support body 12 cannot continue to be popped out, so as to realize the locking of the guide column 31.

[0043] Specifically, the guide block 26 is also formed with a second inclined surface 28 that guides the guide post 31 to move from the locking groove 25 to the second extension track 23. When it is necessary to unlock the support body 12, continue to press the support body 12. At this time, the support body 12 will move a part into the sliding cavity 11. At the same time, the guide post 31 moves from the locking groove 25 to the second extension track 23 under the guidance of the second inclined surface 28. At this time, the support body 12 is unlocked and can be popped outward. At the same time, the guide post 31 moves from the second extension track 23 to the track.

[0044] Furthermore, the first inclined surface 27 and the second inclined surface 28 form a triangular block, with the tip of the triangular block tilted towards the first extended track 22; the locking groove 25 is a triangular groove with a triangular cross-section. Therefore, during unlocking, the triangular block has a limiting function, and the guide post 31 is guided to the second extended track 23 for easy unlocking.

[0045] The guide post 31 is longitudinally installed in the sliding cavity 11. The movable support 3 includes a lateral swing rod 32 that is laterally swayed and installed on the foot pedal bracket 1. The guide post 31 is formed on the top of the lateral swing rod 32. Since the first extension rail 22 and the second extension rail 23 cooperate with the guide rail 21 to form a track similar to a "Y", the lateral position of the guide post 31 will change. With the movement of the lateral swing rod 32, the guide post 31 can adapt to the position accordingly, which is convenient for cooperation with the locking structure.

[0046] Furthermore, the other end of the lateral swing rod 32 is formed with a movable connecting hole 33, and the foot pedal bracket 1 is provided with a fixed post 34 that is rotatably connected to the movable connecting hole 33; the lateral swing rod 32 is rotatably engaged with the fixed post 34 through the movable connecting hole 33. When the guide post 31 formed on the top of the lateral swing rod 32 moves from the guide rail 21 to the first extension rail 22, the lateral swing rod 32 will swing adaptively so that the guide post 31 can enter the first extension rail 22 and then pass through the locking groove 25 in sequence to achieve locking; when unlocking, the guide post 31 moves along the locking groove 25, the second extension rail 23, and the guide rail 21 to achieve unlocking.

[0047] Furthermore, the foot pedal bracket 1 has a mounting groove 35 formed at its bottom, and a fixing post 34 is installed in the mounting groove 35. The mounting groove 35 has a movable groove 36 for the guide post 31 to swing laterally. A mounting plate 37 is detachably installed in the mounting groove 35, and the mounting plate 37 can provide movable support for the lateral swing rod 32. When it is necessary to remove the support body 12 from the sliding cavity 11, the mounting plate 37 can be opened. At this time, the lateral swing rod 32 can be removed from the fixing post 34, and the guide post 31 can be disengaged from the guide rail 21. When the support body 12 is not limited by the guide post 31, the support body 12 can pop out from the sliding cavity 11, realizing disassembly and separation.

[0048] In conclusion, the utility model has the excellent characteristics, and has the practicability, and becomes a product with practical value.

[0049] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and for the ordinary skilled in the art, according to the idea of the utility model, the specific embodiment and application range will be changed, and the content of the specification should not be understood as the limitation of the utility model.
