Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of mobile carriers, and in particular to a wheel assembly structure for bags. Background Technology
[0002] In the prior art, wheel sets typically include a steering platform, a wheel frame, and a wheel body. The wheel set is usually installed at the bottom of the mobile housing by bolts and nuts, and its structure is the same as that of a caster wheel. The contact surface between the wheel set and the bottom of the housing is usually supported by a support column or a connecting plate.
[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, since existing wheelsets are typically connected in a planar manner, leaving the sides of the gearbox exposed, excessive loads can cause damage to the gearbox due to insufficient contact area between the gearbox and the wheelset. This results in a significant reduction in the load-bearing capacity and service life of the wheelset. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a wheel assembly structure for bags and luggage.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solutions, the connection between the box and the wheel assembly can be improved, making the connection between the box and the wheel assembly relatively stable. By setting the stepped mounting parts, the connection between the box and the wheel assembly can be increased, increasing the contact area between the wheel assembly and the box, making the connection between the box and the rollers more stable and reliable, and reducing the loosening of the wheel assembly. At the same time, the high-side design can increase the contact area between the wheel assembly and the box, reduce the swaying of the box, reduce damage to the box, and thus prevent the box from deforming. The cantilevered edge design can increase the support at the bottom of the box, thereby increasing the load-bearing capacity of the box.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a coupling to reduce the deviation between the rollers, the rollers can swing synchronously, making it easy to change the direction of movement of the box, making the box move flexibly, and enabling the box to be used for various routes.
[0016] Preferably, the roller is equipped with a braking system; the braking system is used in conjunction with the roller.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the container needs to be limited after it has been moved to the appropriate position, the rollers are locked by the braking system, thereby moving the container to the required position.
[0018] Preferably, the universal joint is provided with a rotating shaft connected to the carrier; the two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively located inside the carrier and the universal joint, and are fixed by pins; the universal joint is provided with a pin hole for use with the pin.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to install the load-bearing component and the universal joint; at the same time, it is also possible to disassemble the universal joint and replace the universal joint and the load-bearing component, which facilitates subsequent maintenance work and keeps the wheel assembly structure in better condition.
[0020] Preferably, both the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft are provided with gaskets made of non-metallic anti-corrosion material.

[0022] Preferably, the roller includes two hubs disposed opposite each other; the surface of the hubs is provided with a rubber wheel belt.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the wheel hub is protected, reducing damage to the wheel hub. At the same time, the wheel hub and rubber belt can be disassembled and replaced. When replacing, the wheel hub does not need to be disassembled, which saves time and effort and improves replacement efficiency.
[0024] Preferably, dustproof plates are provided on the outer sides of the two oppositely arranged hubs; and the dustproof plates are fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting shaft.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a dustproof plate, the wheel and the connecting shaft are shielded, reducing the entry of dust and protecting the connecting shaft and bearings.
[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0027] 1. By setting up stepped mounting components, the connection between the box and the wheel assembly can be increased, increasing the contact area between the wheel assembly and the box, making the connection between the box and the rollers more stable and reliable, reducing wheel assembly loosening. At the same time, the high-side design can increase the contact area with the box, reducing box swaying and damage to the box, thereby preventing box deformation. The cantilevered edge design can increase the support at the bottom of the box, thereby increasing the load-bearing capacity of the box.
[0028] 2. By setting a coupling, the deviation between the rollers is reduced, allowing the rollers to swing freely, which facilitates changing the direction of movement of the box, making the box flexible and suitable for various routes;
[0029] 3. By making the high edges and upturned edges curved, the sharpness of the high edges and upturned edges is reduced, thereby reducing damage to the cabinet, protecting the cabinet and extending its service life. Attached Figure Description
