Finally, the whole assembly is installed onto the wheel frame by installing the sleeve. Therefore, the assembly is relatively complicated and the assembly efficiency is slow. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an improved luggage wheel set that can improve assembly efficiency, addressing the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an improved luggage wheel set, comprising a wheel seat and a wheel frame detachably connected to the wheel seat, characterized in that: the wheel frame includes a first wheel frame and a second wheel frame detachably connected to the first wheel frame, an annular frame extending from the first wheel frame toward the second wheel frame, a retainer rotatably mounted on the annular frame, a plurality of receiving grooves spaced apart on the inner wall of the retainer, a plurality of rolling elements rotatably mounted in each receiving groove, the outer wall of the annular frame restricting the rolling elements to be located within the receiving grooves, and the retainer being located between the first wheel frame and the second wheel frame.
[0007] The above technical solution is adopted: This utility model features a detachable first wheel frame and a second wheel frame, with an integrally formed annular frame on the first wheel frame. This allows for easy assembly by simply installing the retainer on the second wheel frame, then sequentially inserting the rolling elements into the receiving grooves, and finally installing the second wheel frame onto the first wheel frame. The utility model has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and is convenient for workers. Furthermore, the outer wall of the annular frame can restrict the rolling elements from falling out of the receiving grooves, and the installation of the first wheel frame can enclose the rolling elements within the receiving grooves. Additionally, when the utility model is rolling, the rotation of the retainer guides the rotation of the rolling elements, thereby providing lubrication, reducing friction, and improving rotational smoothness.

[0012] A further feature of this invention is that a rubber sleeve is fitted over the outer wall of the retainer, and the retainer has several protruding strips along its outer wall, with grooves inside the rubber sleeve that are adapted to the protruding strips.
[0013] The above technical solution increases wear resistance by using a rubber sleeve, while the protruding strips on the outer wall of the cage improve the installation firmness between the cage and the rubber sleeve.
[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the middle sections of both the first and second wheel frames are hollow.
[0015] The above technical solution achieves a lightweight effect and reduces weight by making the first and second wheel frames hollow.
[0016] A further feature of this invention is that the first wheel frame includes a first connecting arm, the upper end of which is integrally formed with a mounting portion for connection with the wheel seat, and the second wheel frame is provided with a second connecting arm corresponding to the first connecting arm.
[0017] The above technical solution facilitates the assembly of the first wheel frame and the second wheel frame by setting up the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm.
[0018] A further feature of this invention is that the first connecting arm has a first mounting hole, and the second connecting arm has a second mounting hole corresponding to the first mounting hole, and the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are connected by fasteners.
[0019] The above technical solution enables the first wheel frame and the second wheel frame to be detachable, facilitating disassembly and assembly by staff.
[0020] A further feature of this invention is that the second connecting arm is provided with a positioning post, and the first connecting arm is provided with a positioning hole for the positioning post to be inserted.
[0021] The above technical solution facilitates positioning before assembly and improves assembly efficiency by setting positioning pins and positioning holes.
