Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a retractable pedal for an electric riding travel case. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology and the increasing demand for travel, electric suitcases that integrate electric drive and luggage storage functions are becoming increasingly popular. In order to further improve their convenience for short-distance travel, electric suitcases equipped with retractable foot pedals have appeared on the market. Users can pull out the foot pedals and place their feet on them to achieve effortless and efficient riding. They are especially suitable for open places such as airports and large shopping districts, effectively solving the problems of traditional suitcases that require manual dragging and are easy to get tired when walking long distances.

[0003] Current electric luggage foot pedals have significant drawbacks in terms of ease of extension and retraction. Most existing foot pedals use simple pin-type or manual pull-out structures, requiring users to bend over or squat down, manually locate and align the unlocking mechanism, and then pull or press it forcefully. This seriously affects the user experience and the practicality of the product. Utility Model Content

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the retractable pedal of the electric riding travel box includes a housing 1 that cooperates with each other; the housing 1 has an elliptical structure with an opening at the top and a sliding cavity 11 provided inside, and a retractable pedal 2 is provided at the sliding cavity 11, the length of the retractable pedal 2 being less than the length of the sliding cavity 11.

[0023] A guide rod 111 extending upward is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the sliding cavity 11; a guide groove (not shown in the figure) cooperating with the guide rod 111 is provided at the bottom of the telescopic pedal 2; a return spring 3 is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rod 111; one end of the return spring 3 abuts against the lowest end of the sliding cavity 11, and the other end abuts against the top end of the guide groove of the telescopic pedal 2; the telescopic pedal 2 is squeezed into the sliding cavity 11 of the housing 1 by external force, and extends out of the housing 1 by the elastic force of the return spring 3.

[0024] A slide rail 21 is provided on the outer wall of the telescopic pedal 2, extending from the upper end to the lower end of the telescopic pedal 2. A locking structure is provided at the top of the slide rail 21, comprising a guide block 22 and, around the guide block 22, a guide channel 211, a guide ramp 212, a locking groove 213, a release ramp 214, and a release channel 215 arranged sequentially according to the movement trajectory. The starting point of the guide channel 211 is higher than the ending point of the release channel 215, and the starting point of the guide channel 215 is on the same straight line as the slide rail 21. Inclined upward to the right, the top of the guide channel 211 is a guide slope 212, which is inclined upward to the left. The top of the guide slope 212 is provided with a downward stop step 2121. The locking groove 213 is located at the top of the guide block 22 and to the lower left of the stop step 2121. The locking groove 213 is opposite to the starting point of the release slope 214, which is inclined upward to the left and its top is opposite to the release channel 215. The release channel 215 is inclined downward to the right and connected to the slide rail 21.

[0025] A protruding post 12 is provided at the upper end of the side wall of the housing 1. An opening 13 is provided at the upper end of the protruding post 12, and the opening 13 penetrates the side wall of the housing 1. A sliding hook 4 is fitted on the protruding post 12. A fixing ring 41 and a locking tongue 42 are provided at both ends of the sliding hook 4. The locking tongue 42 is vertically arranged on the sliding hook 4. The fixing ring 41 of the sliding hook 4 is fitted on the protruding post 12. The locking tongue 42 extends to the opening 13 and cooperates with the slide rail 21 of the telescopic pedal 2. A cover plate is provided above the protruding post 12 and the opening 13 to prevent the sliding hook 4 from disengaging from the protruding post 12 and the slide rail 21.

[0026] The housing 1 is embedded and fixed at the front bottom of the luggage compartment 100. In the unused state, the telescopic pedal 2 is located inside the sliding cavity 1. At this time, the locking tongue 42 at the front end of the hook 4 is located in the locking groove 213. When the telescopic pedal 2 is to be used: the telescopic pedal 2 is pressed inward, the locking tongue 42 leaves the locking groove 213 and moves along the release ramp 214 to its top. Under the action of the return spring 3, the locking tongue 42 moves downward along the release channel 215 and the guide rail 21 to the lowest end of the guide rail 21, and the telescopic pedal 2 extends out of the housing 1. When the telescopic pedal 2 is no longer to be used: the telescopic pedal 2 is pressed inward again, the locking tongue 42 moves upward along the guide rail 21, the ramp of the guide block 22 guides the locking tongue 42 into the guide channel 215, passes through the guide ramp 212, and when it reaches the top of the guide ramp 212, the telescopic pedal 2 is pressed to the lowest end of the sliding cavity 1. The return spring 3 pushes the telescopic pedal 2 upward, and the locking tongue 42 moves downward along the stop step 2121 into the locking groove 213, thereby locking the telescopic pedal 2.

[0027] The vertical distance from the top of the guide slope 212 to the locking groove 213 is the same as the vertical distance from the bottom of the telescopic pedal 2 to the bottom of the sliding cavity 11 in the retracted state; in the retracted state, the top of the telescopic pedal 2 and the top of the housing 1 are on the same plane.

[0028] The retractable pedal of this electric riding travel case features a guide rail 21 on the retractable pedal 2 and a locking hook 4 on the housing 1. The locking tongue 42 at the front end of the locking hook 4 engages with the guide rail 21. The top of the retractable pedal 2 also features a locking structure, which includes a guide block 22 and a guide channel 211, a guide ramp 212, a locking groove 213, a release ramp 214, and a release channel 215 arranged sequentially around the guide block 22 according to the movement trajectory. The locking tongue 42 engages with the locking structure to unlock and lock the retractable pedal 2. The retractable pedal 2 has a simple structure and is easy to use, which can improve the consumer experience.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments only illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
