[0026] A suitcase according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0027] The suitcase has an openable main body 10, which is closed by a zipper 11. The main body 10 is provided with casters 12 and an extendable handle 13, and further has a storage structure 20.

[0028] Specifically, the main body 10 includes a first sub-body 14 and a second sub-body 15, which are opened and closed by a fastener 11. The first sub-body 14 and the second sub-body 15 are each provided with a caster 12 at the same end, and the first sub-body 14 or the second sub-body 15 is provided with a telescoping handle 13 at the other end opposite the caster 12.

[0029] The main body 10 has a first receiving slot 16 recessed therein, which includes a first sub-slot 161 and a second sub-slot 162. The first sub-slot 161 is located on the first sub-body 14, and the second sub-slot 162 is located on the second sub-body 15. The receiving structure 20 is installed in the first receiving slot 16, with a portion of the receiving structure 20 located in the first sub-slot 161 and another portion of the receiving structure 20 located in the second sub-slot 162.

[0030] A portion of the fastener 11 is disposed within the first receiving slot 16 , i.e., the teeth and band of the fastener 11 conform to the shape of the first receiving slot 16 . The storage structure 20 includes a rotary connection base 21, a storage base 22, and a cap 23, where the rotary connection base 21 and the storage base 22 are located on either side of the fastener 11, respectively, and the cap 23 is rotatably connected to the rotary connection base 21 and has a first position and a second position relative to the rotary connection base 21.

[0031] Specifically, the swivel connection base 21 is installed in the first sub-accommodating slot 161, and the storage base 22 is installed in the second sub-accommodating slot 162. When the cap 23 is in the first position, the cap 23 fits into the storage base 22 to form a storage space together with the swivel connection base 21 and the storage base 22. This storage space is used to accommodate the pull tab 111 of the zipper 11. When the cap 23 is in the second position, the cap 23 separates from the storage base 22 to open the storage space.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the suitcase provided by the present application has a recess formed in the main body 10 to define a first storage slot 16, and a storage structure 20 installed within the first storage slot 16. The storage structure 20 employs a combination of a swivel base 21, a storage base 22, and a cap 23, with the cap 23 being able to rotate to achieve two states: open and closed. In the closed state, the cap 23, the swivel base 21, and the storage base 22 combine to form an enclosed storage space, effectively protecting the pull tab 111 from external pressure and friction. This not only improves the appearance of the pull tab 111, but also protects it from scratches and collisions during transport to some extent, improving the overall lifespan of the suitcase. In the open state, the user can easily remove or retract the pull tab 111, and when not in use, the pull tab 111 of the zipper 11 can be stored within the storage space of the storage structure 20.

[0033] In the present application, the storage base 22 is provided with a second storage slot 221, and the end of the pull tab 111 opposite the pull tab side is stored in the second storage slot 221. Furthermore, the storage base 22 is provided with a magnetic attraction member (not shown), which is disposed in the second storage slot 221 on the storage base 22 and installed on the side of the bottom wall of the second storage slot 221 away from the pull tab 111. The magnetic attraction member is used to fix the end of the pull tab 111 away from the pull tab portion within the second storage slot 221.

[0034] By providing the second receiving slot 221 in the receiving base 22, the end of the pull handle 111 away from the pull portion can be reliably positioned, preventing the pull handle 111 from swinging freely within the receiving space and further improving the stability of the storage. Furthermore, by installing a magnetic component in the second receiving slot 221 and linking it with the magnetic component, the pull handle 111 can be fixed in the second receiving slot 221 by the action of magnetic force. This not only improves the storage efficiency but also prevents the pull handle 111 from falling off due to vibration.

[0035] In the present application, a mating block 24 is provided on the storage base 22, and a mating slot 231 is provided on the cap 23. When the cap 23 is in the first position, the mating block 24 is mated with the mating slot 231. A slide member 27 is slidably connected to the storage base 22. The slide member 27 is connected to the mating block 24 and is used to separate the mating block 24 from the mating slot 231 under the action of an external force. A reset spring (not shown) is provided within the storage base 22, one end of which is connected to the slide member 27 and is used to return the slide member 27 to its original position when the external force is released. When an external force is applied to the slide member 27, the reset spring is compressed, generating elastic force. When the external force is released, the elastic force of the reset spring returns the slide member 27 to its initial position.

[0036] The engagement of the mating block 24 with the mating slot 231 on the cap 23 prevents the cap 23 from being easily opened by external force, improving structural safety. The cooperation of the slide member 27 and the return spring allows the user to quickly unlock the lock with a simple external force operation, and after the external force is released, the return spring returns the slide member 27 to its initial position, further improving convenience and reliability.

[0037] In the present application, the rotary connection base 21 is provided with a rotary connection shaft 25, and the cap 23 is provided with a rolling contact slot 232, and the rotary connection shaft 25 is rotatably connected within the rolling contact slot 232. A torsion spring 26 is fitted onto the rotary connection shaft 25.

[0038] The rotary connection base 21 and the cap 23 are connected via a rotary connection shaft 25, which stabilizes the structure and facilitates rotation of the cap 23. A torsion spring 26 is attached to the rotary connection shaft 25 to provide elastic force when the cap 23 is closed, and the torsion spring 26 opens the cap 23 when the sliding member drives the locking block 24 to disengage from the locking slot 231, improving smoothness and comfort during use.

[0039] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
