Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of backpacks, and more particularly to a backpack with an expandable capacity. Background Technology

[0002] In the luggage industry, backpacks and rolling suitcases are the most commonly used storage tools for people traveling, and the two hold roughly equal positions in the market. Compared to rolling suitcases, backpacks have the advantage of flexibility and portability, allowing them to be carried around at all times; however, their storage space is often less than that of rolling suitcases. Therefore, luggage manufacturers are working to expand the capacity of backpack products, for example, by incorporating vacuum compression bags to meet the demand for increased storage. For instance, a Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN209965553U discloses an outdoor backpack with a vacuum compression bag device. The backpack includes a main body, a solar panel along the upper edge of the shoulder straps, and a vacuum compression bag inside. The vacuum compression bag is equipped with a miniature electric air pump, a USB port, and a charging port. The solar panel and USB port are connected to the miniature electric air pump. In use, the solar panel or USB port powers the miniature electric air pump and charging port to evacuate the vacuum compression bag or power items such as mobile phones. When not in use, the vacuum compression bag can be removed via a zipper. While the product does offer some capacity expansion, the vacuum compression bag, located within the main storage cavity, occupies space once items are placed inside, making the remaining space uneven. This makes it difficult to place items such as laptops and tablets stably, causing considerable inconvenience for users. Summary of the Invention

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0019] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0020] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses an expandable backpack, including a bag body and shoulder straps 8 disposed on the back of the bag body. Two shoulder straps 8 are conventionally provided. The bag body includes a main storage cavity 1 at the front end and a back panel 7 at the rear end; in this embodiment, the main storage cavity 1 refers to the front part of the bag body, including the front panel of a conventional backpack and the largest storage compartment beyond the front panel. This storage compartment can be a closed bag, meaning the main storage cavity is a complete three-dimensional closed structure; of course, the storage compartment can also be a semi-closed structure, meaning the main storage cavity is open on the side facing the back panel 7.

[0022] This embodiment also includes a compression bag and an outer zipper strap; the compression bag has thin connecting edges 20 formed on both circumferential sides; the connecting edges 20 are respectively connected to the main storage cavity 1 and the back of the bag body 7, so that the compression bag is positioned between the main storage cavity 1 and the back of the bag body 7; the outer zipper strap includes a front zipper strap 10 that is closed to the circumferential edge of the main storage cavity 1 on one side and a rear zipper strap 9 that is closed to the circumferential edge of the back of the bag body 7 on one side; the front zipper strap 10 and the rear zipper strap 9 are closed by a zipper 100; the outer zipper strap is located outside the compression bag, and the width of the compression bag is greater than the width of the outer zipper strap in the closed state.

[0023] The backpack in this embodiment has two states: partial folding and expanded. When the front zipper strap 10 and the rear zipper strap 9 are closed by the zipper 100, the compression bag is compressed and folded inside the outer zipper strap because the width of the compression bag is greater than the width of the outer zipper strap in the closed state. After the front zipper strap 10 and the rear zipper strap 9 are separated, the compression bag can be fully expanded. When the compression bag is fully expanded, the backpack's capacity reaches its maximum.

[0024] Furthermore, the compression bag consists of three parts: an annular wall 3 and two relatively flat planes 2. The two circumferential edges of the wall 3 are respectively closed and connected to the circumferential edges of the planes 2, and the connection is sealed to form a connecting edge 20. The connecting edge 20 is generally formed by conventional techniques in the field of compression bags, such as adhesive bonding and heat sealing. The connecting edge 20 is then connected to the main storage cavity 1 and the back of the bag body 7 by processes such as sewing or heat sealing.

[0025] Furthermore, if the main storage cavity 1 is open on the side facing the back 7 of the bag, the user can directly contact one side plane 2 of the compression bag when opening the largest storage compartment. This side plane 2 can be equipped with a sealing zipper strap 4 and an air valve device 5, allowing the user to open and close the compression bag from within the largest storage compartment. This method has some inconvenience, as the user needs to empty the items in the largest storage compartment before using the compression bag. Therefore, to solve this problem, this embodiment preferably places the sealing zipper strap 4 and the air valve device 5 on the enclosure wall 3. The user can open and close the compression bag without passing through the largest storage compartment, making the operation more convenient. Moreover, this embodiment innovatively achieves the opening and closing of the compression bag without completely opening the outer zipper strap. Specifically, this is achieved by placing the sealing zipper strap 4 and the air valve device 5 on the same side, which is the same side as the side where the end 90 of the outer zipper strap is located. Figure 2 Based on this, pull the zipper 100 back a certain distance to expose the sealing zipper strip 4 and the air valve device 5.

[0026] The sealing zipper belt 4 and the air valve device 5 are widely used in the field of vacuum compression bags, and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a storage cavity 6 for storing a computer is provided between the compression bag and the back of the bag body 7. The storage cavity 6 has an opening that is closed by a zipper 60, with the opening facing upwards. This storage cavity 6 can be used to store a computer or tablet. This embodiment solves the technical problem of laptops, tablets, and other items being difficult to place stably, causing many inconveniences for users, by separating various items.

[0028] Furthermore, a vertical webbing 11 is provided on the outer wall of the main storage compartment 1. The webbing 11 can be used as a handle or to hang the backpack on the handle of the suitcase.

[0029] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
