[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a suitcase 1 with a clothes drying rod 13, which can not only transport a large amount of clothing in a labor-saving and portable manner, but also allow clothes to be dried during travel.

[0029] The suitcase 1 is equipped with a clothesline 13 that can extend and retract along at least one end for drying clothes. In this specific embodiment, the suitcase 1 is equipped with a clothesline 13 that can extend and retract along both ends to ensure that a sufficient number of clothes can be dried.

[0030] The suitcase 1 includes a case body 10 and a first auxiliary support assembly 11 mounted on the case body 10. The first auxiliary support assembly 11 is used to assist in supporting the suitcase 1 to prevent the suitcase 1 from tipping over under the weight of the clothes when clothes are being hung to dry.

[0031] The housing 10 has a first side plate 100 and a second side plate 101 disposed opposite to the first side plate 100, so as to facilitate the subsequent assembly of the first auxiliary support assembly 11 via the first side plate 100 (see below for details).

[0032] In this specific embodiment, in order to save on the manufacturing cost of the suitcase 1, the number of first auxiliary support components 11 is one, and the first auxiliary support component 11 is assembled to the first side panel 100. Of course, in other specific embodiments, when the number of first auxiliary support components 11 is two, the two first auxiliary support components 11 are respectively assembled to the first side panel 100 and the second side panel 101.

[0033] The first auxiliary support assembly 11 includes a telescopic support rod 110 located on the same side as the clothes drying rod 13. The support rod 110 can gradually extend at an angle until its end presses against the ground to assist in supporting the suitcase 1. To ensure the supporting effect of the first auxiliary support assembly 11 in assisting in supporting the suitcase 1, the extension direction of the support rod 110 (i.e., the telescopic direction of the support rod 110) forms a preset angle with the length direction of the first side plate 100.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, the first auxiliary support assembly 11 further includes a box body 111 with an opening and a cover plate 113 rotatably connected to the box body 111, and the box body 111 is fixedly connected to the first side plate 100. When the cover plate 113 rotates around the first end of the box body 111 until the cover plate 113 closes to the opening of the box body 111, the cover plate 113 and the box body 111 enclose a receiving cavity 114 for accommodating the support rod 110. It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the accommodating of the support rod 110, the length direction of the support rod 110 in the retracted state is parallel to the length direction of the first side plate 100. Obviously, the length direction of the box body 111 is also parallel to the length direction of the first side plate 100. The movement process of the support rod 110 and the cover plate 113 is described below. As the cover plate 113 rotates in a direction away from the box body 111, the support rod 110 disengages from the receiving cavity 114 and gradually extends until its end presses against the ground.

[0035] Optionally, to facilitate the housing 111's ability to accommodate the retracted support rod 110, the housing 111 can be approximately rectangular in shape. Of course, in other embodiments, the housing 111 can also have other shapes. No specific limitations are imposed here.

[0036] Optionally, to make the appearance of the suitcase 1 aesthetically pleasing, when the cover 113 is closed onto the opening of the box body 111, the surface of the cover 113 is flush with the surface of the first side panel 100 (here referring to the other parts of the first side panel 100 after removing the cover 113). Obviously, in order to reserve space for accommodating the support rod 110, the bottom of the box body 111 protrudes from the side of the first side panel 100 opposite to the surface of the first side panel 100.

[0037] In one specific embodiment, the top end of the support rod 110 can be pivotally connected to the end of the box 111 near itself. Alternatively, the top end of the support rod 110 can be rotatably connected to the end of the box 111 near itself. In this specific embodiment, when the cover plate 113 rotates in a direction away from the box 111, the user can manually operate the support rod 110, causing it to rotate in the same direction. Simultaneously, the support rod 110 can gradually extend under its own weight until its end presses against the ground. It is understood that the aforementioned position is the working position of the support rod 110. When the support rod 110 is in the working position, locking elements on the support rod 110 can be used to lock each adjacent telescopic segment (the support rod 110 includes multiple telescopic segments and multiple locking elements) together, thus fixing the extended support rod 110. The locking elements on the support rod 110 can be positioning pins. Obviously, in other specific embodiments, the support rod 110 can also rotate in the direction away from the box body 111 when the cover plate 113 rotates in the direction away from the box body 111, and gradually extend until its end presses against the ground. No specific restrictions are made here.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the support rod 110 can be fixed to the cover plate 113. Specifically, the first telescopic end of the support rod 110 is fixed to the main body of the cover plate 113, and the extension direction of the support rod 110 is parallel to the length direction of the cover plate 113. That is, the length direction of the first telescopic section of the support rod 110 is parallel to the length direction of the cover plate 113. Obviously, the support rod 110 moves synchronously with the cover plate 113 when the cover plate 113 rotates in a direction away from the box body 111 (see below for details).

[0039] In one specific embodiment, optionally, to further ensure that the first auxiliary support assembly 11 stably supports the luggage compartment 1, the luggage compartment 1 further includes a second auxiliary support assembly 12 with the same structure and size as the first auxiliary support assembly 11. Furthermore, to ensure that the first auxiliary support assembly 11 and the second auxiliary support assembly 12 are subjected to uniform force when supporting the luggage compartment 1, the first auxiliary support assembly 11 and the second auxiliary support assembly 12 are arranged symmetrically and at intervals about the central axis of the luggage compartment 1 on the first side panel 100 or the second side panel 101.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, the suitcase 1 has two pull rods 14 and handles 15 at both ends that abut the ends of the two pull rods 14 respectively. A clothes drying rod 13 is fitted inside the handles 15, allowing for easy adjustment of the height of the clothes drying rod 13 without the need for an additional telescopic rod. This makes the clothes drying rod 13 on the suitcase 1 suitable for various types of clothing, such as long skirts, long dresses, and jumpsuits, and also suitable for people of different heights. It should be noted that, to maximize the space utilization of the suitcase 1, the pull rods 14 are typically installed near either of the two side panels with the larger vertical cross-sectional area. Clearly, the first side panel 100 and the second side panel 101 mentioned above are both side panels with the larger vertical cross-sectional area of ​​the suitcase 1. In order to reduce the manufacturing cost of the suitcase 1 (specifically, to assemble the first auxiliary support component 11 only on the first side panel 100) and improve the support effect of the suitcase 1, both the first auxiliary support component 11 and the second auxiliary support component 12 are assembled on the side panel (i.e., the first side panel 100 mentioned above) near the pull rod 14.

[0041] Referring to the foregoing, the clothes drying rod 13 has two states: an extended state and a retracted state. When the clothes drying rod 13 is in the extended state, both ends of the clothes drying rod 13 extend out from the corresponding ends of the handle 15. When the clothes drying rod 13 is in the retracted state, the clothes drying rod 13 is hidden in the inner cavity of the handle 15.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, a switch 16 is also included, and the switch 16 controls the cover plate 113 to rotate in a direction away from the box body 111, so that the support rod 110 can gradually extend in an inclined manner until its end presses against the ground to assist in supporting the suitcase 1. In this specific embodiment, the suitcase 1 also includes a control mechanism, with one end of the control mechanism abutting against the switch 1 and the other end pressing against the cover 113. After pressing the switch 16, the control mechanism drives the cover 113 to rotate back and forth around the head of the box body 111, so that when the cover 113 rotates in a direction away from the box body 111, the support rod 110 rotates with the cover 113 (or, the user manually controls the support rod 110 to rotate in the same direction away from the box body 111), and gradually extends at an angle until its end presses against the ground; or, when the cover 113 rotates in a direction close to the box body 111, the support rod 110 is manually retracted to its minimum volume by the user and placed in the aforementioned receiving cavity 114 until the cover 113 closes or fastens to the opening of the box body 111.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the support rod 110 can be circular or square (preferably rectangular) along its extension direction. And / or, the cross-sectional shape of the clothes drying rod 13 can be circular or square (as above) along its extension direction. In this specific embodiment, both the cross-sectional shape of the support rod 110 and the cross-sectional shape of the clothes drying rod 13 are circular.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, in order for the first auxiliary support assembly 11 and / or the second auxiliary support assembly 12 to effectively assist in supporting the luggage compartment 1, a preset angle θ is greater than 0° and less than 90°. It should be noted that the cover plate 113 can rotate and be fixed in any working position, and limit the support rod 110 to the same working position.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
