[0030] Most existing suitcases use omnidirectional wheels to enable flexible movement in multiple directions. While this wheel structure improves the suitcase's adaptability to complex terrain, it also leads to difficulties in braking. When the suitcase needs to be kept stationary on slopes, in crowded places, or when temporarily parked, users usually have to use their body weight to press the suitcase or frequently bend over to manually press the brake button on a single bottom wheel to achieve braking, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0031] Therefore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model presents a simplified braked suitcase, comprising a suitcase body 100, multiple bottom wheels 102 disposed around the bottom of the suitcase body 100, and a brake assembly connected to the suitcase body 100. Specifically, the outer wall of the suitcase body 100 is provided with a slot 101, the bottom wheels 102 are provided with brake arms, and the brake assembly includes a control block 220 and a cable transmission structure 210. The control block 220 is slidably disposed on the outer side of the suitcase body 100, and the control block 220 can engage with the slot 101 and drive the brake arms to move through the cable transmission structure 210 to stop the bottom wheels 102. It should be noted that the control block 220 is slidably disposed in the slot 101 on the side wall of the suitcase 100. It can be inserted into the slot 101 and drive one or more brake arms in conjunction with the cable transmission structure 210, thereby improving the user's experience in stopping and locking the suitcase. At the same time, the cable transmission structure 210 can be hidden inside the suitcase 100 to avoid the risk of damage to exposed parts due to collisions. Furthermore, the combination design of the brake assembly and the suitcase 100 improves the compactness and reliability of the overall structure. Users can quickly complete the synchronous braking of multiple bottom wheels 102 by sliding the control block 220, which significantly improves the convenience and safety of the suitcase when parking on a slope or temporarily securing it.

[0032] Refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments of this utility model, the cable-driven transmission structure 210 includes a brake cable 211, a control block 220, and a brake arm connected in sequence. The control block 220 and the brake arm are connected in series via the brake cable 211. The high efficiency and stability of the cable drive enable precise force transmission, avoiding the jamming problems caused by assembly errors in traditional rigid linkage structures. Furthermore, the flexible nature of the cable allows for more flexible layout of the control block 220 and brake arm, adapting to the complex internal structure of the housing 100. This reduces response delays caused by mechanical backlash during transmission, improving the sensitivity and reliability of braking. Moreover, the cable-driven transmission structure 210 requires no complex lubrication or maintenance, further simplifying the user experience. It should be noted that the transmission structure of the control block 220, brake cable 211, and brake arm can be referenced from the cable-driven brake structure of a bicycle. The control block 220 is equivalent to the brake handle of a bicycle, and the bottom wheel 102 is equivalent to the wheel of a bicycle; further details are omitted here.

[0033] Refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the case 100 includes a first half-case 110 and a second half-case 120 that can be closed by connecting them with a zipper. The bottom of each half-case 110 and half-case 120 is provided with two bottom wheels 102. By evenly distributing the bottom wheels 102 on both sides of the case 100, the risk of the case's center of gravity shifting is effectively reduced, improving stability during movement. Simultaneously, the split design allows for flexible selection of the braking component's installation position, enabling targeted braking control of the bottom wheels 102 of a specific half-case according to user needs, enhancing the case's adaptability to different usage scenarios. Specifically, in some embodiments, the braking component is located in the first half-case 110 and is used to jointly brake the corresponding two bottom wheels 102. This locally centralized design reduces the complexity of the transmission structure, reduces the path length and number of bends in the cable drive, thereby reducing the problem of transmission efficiency attenuation caused by excessive cable stretching or friction. It also allows users to quickly brake the bottom wheels 102 of the corresponding half-case using a single-sided control block 220, improving operational flexibility and targeting. In other embodiments, there are two braking components, which are arranged one-to-one with the first half-box 110 and the second half-box 120, and are used to brake the bottom wheels 102 corresponding to the first half-box 110 and the second half-box 120 respectively. This realizes independent zone braking control of the bottom wheels 102 on both sides of the box body 100. This symmetrical layout makes the force on the suitcase more balanced when braking, avoiding the risk of the box body 100 tilting or sliding due to single-sided braking. At the same time, users can choose to brake only one bottom wheel 102 when parking against a wall, or brake both bottom wheels 102 simultaneously when fixed on a slope, which significantly improves the suitcase's adaptability and handling precision in complex usage scenarios.

[0034] Refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, a combination lock 300 is provided on the outer wall of the case 100. The combination lock 300 is used to lock the zipper head 103 of the case 100. The control block 220 and the combination lock 300 are located on the same side. By utilizing the existing structural space of the combination lock 300 to integrate the braking control function, it meets the usage habits of some users who "brake the bottom wheel 102 to stop before opening the case" when opening the case at home, or who "lock the zipper head 103 before unlocking and moving the case" after putting items into the case. This reduces the number of operation steps and the range of physical movements, and improves the ease of operation of the case in airport, train station and home use scenarios. In addition, the coordinated layout of the combination lock 300 and the control block 220 enhances the compactness and aesthetics of the overall design of the case 100.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments of this utility model, the slot 101 includes a first slot segment 1011 and a second slot segment 1012 that are interconnected. The first slot segment 1011 and the second slot segment 1012 are arranged at intervals along the length of the housing 100. This segmented slot 101 structure provides a gear-type sliding path for the control block 220. After being engaged, it can achieve a stable braking effect, improving the durability and safety of the braking assembly. Specifically, see further... Figure 3 Both the first segment 1011 and the second segment 1012 are arc-shaped and have openings 1013 on opposite sides. The curvature of the arc segments is optimized to ensure the control block 220 remains stable within either the first segment 1011 or the second segment 1012, improving the stability of the braking function. Furthermore, the opening 1013 allows the control block 220 to easily switch positions between the first segment 1011 and the second segment 1012, enhancing the ease of brake operation.

[0036] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
