Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of luggage, specifically to a luggage opening frame structure with a trapezoidal insert rod. Background Technology

[0002] Suitcases are a common tool for carrying items when traveling, and the suitcase opening frame is an important component designed to improve the rigidity and ease of opening and closing. To facilitate opening and removing, cleaning, or replacing the lining, most suitcases have a main zipper and two lining zippers on the opening. The zippers are installed using different fastening methods, such as adhesive, riveting, and snap-fit. Due to the ease with which adhesive can fall off, the small contact points of riveting, the need for special tools, and the inability to achieve quick installation, snap-fit ​​has been gradually replaced by zippers. The applicant previously disclosed a zipper mounting structure for a suitcase in a utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN221729942U. This disclosed technology has a zipper connecting groove in the frame, and a fixing strip is inserted into the fixing sleeve and then into the zipper connecting groove to fix the zipper to the frame, which is used to solve the problem of quickly installing the zipper onto the frame. However, the fixing strip used by the applicant is a round tube. In actual application, it was found that the contact area between the fixing strip and the limiting protrusion at the opening of the zipper connecting groove is too small, which is not conducive to tightening and makes it easy to shake, thus affecting the strength of the connection between the zipper and the fixing sleeve. The applicant also changed the round fixing strip to a square insert rod and made the square insert rod large enough to increase the contact area. Although the larger square insert rod can fully fill the zipper connecting groove when inserted into the zipper fixing sleeve, and can reduce shaking after tightening, it can improve the strength of the connection between the zipper and the fixing sleeve. However, due to the small gaps and high resistance on both sides of the square insert rod, which is inserted into the zipper fixing sleeve and is sufficiently enlarged, it is difficult to push in during the insertion process into the zipper connecting groove, thus affecting the installation efficiency. Therefore, the applicant further improved the insert rod structure, hoping to both significantly increase the contact area between it and the limiting protrusion at the opening of the zipper connecting groove, and leave gaps between the two sides of the insert rod and the side walls of the zipper connecting groove to reduce the resistance during insertion, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the zipper. In view of this, this case arises. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model discloses a luggage frame structure with trapezoidal insert rods, including two frames and insert rods. The frames have a case shell clamping opening, a main zipper clamping opening, and a zipper clamping opening. The two frames are symmetrically arranged, and the openings of the case shell clamping openings are facing opposite directions. The main zipper clamping opening and the zipper clamping opening are both cavities with a square cross-section, and an opening communicating with the outside is provided at the center of one side of the square cavity. The insert rods have a trapezoidal cross-section and there are four insert rods. Two of them are inserted into two sleeves provided on the main zipper and placed in their respective main zipper clamping openings on the two frames.
