Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of suitcases, and specifically to a suitcase that can easily open and close an external storage lid.

Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, in order to be able to easily take out a specific item at any time, usually an opening is provided on the front side of the suitcase body, this opening is sealed by a lid, the lower end of the lid is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the suitcase body, and the remaining free edge of the lid is connected to the suitcase body via a fastener. By storing a specific item into the suitcase body from the opening and placing it near the opening, the lid can be opened at any time to take out the item, which is more convenient compared to opening the entire suitcase directly.

[0003] However, in the above prior art, since the free edge of the lid is connected to the suitcase body via a fastener, it takes time to pull the fastener when opening the lid.

[0013] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings of the embodiments. It will be clear that the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

[0014] A suitcase with an easily openable and closable external storage lid, comprising a suitcase body, a caster assembly provided at the lower end of the suitcase body, and a telescopic handle assembly provided at the rear of the suitcase body. The front of the suitcase body forms an inwardly recessed opening that communicates with the interior of the suitcase body, and the front outer wall of the suitcase body is provided with a lid capable of covering the opening, the lower end of the lid being rotatably connected to the suitcase body, and the upper end of the lid being detachably connected to the suitcase body via a locking mechanism.

[0015] The locking mechanism includes a connecting frame attached to the inside of the lid, a mounting frame attached to the top of the opening, and a locking hook provided on the mounting frame. The connecting frame has a locking opening, the locking hook is rotatably attached to the mounting frame, and the locking hook has a hook portion that can be hooked into the locking opening. The hook portion is provided toward the connecting frame and extends outward from the mounting frame. The locking hook is connected to a button located at the upper end of the mounting frame via an interlocking mechanism. A first through-hole is provided at the top of the opening, penetrating vertically to the outside. A portion of the button is located within the first through-hole, and when the button is pressed, the locking hook rotates due to the drive of the interlocking mechanism.

[0016] When the button is pressed, the interlocking mechanism rotates the locking fitting, the hook portion of the locking fitting disengages from the locking opening, the connecting frame fixed to the lid separates from the locking hook, and the lid can be opened. The lid can be opened directly by simply pressing the button, which is more convenient than opening the lid by pulling a zipper.

[0017] The connecting frame is elongated and horizontally mounted, with one locking opening at each end of the connecting frame, and two locking hooks are provided, each fitting into the two locking openings, and both locking hooks are connected to the button via an interlocking mechanism.

[0018] Provide a structure of two sets of locking fittings and a locking hook, and be provided close to both sides of the lid respectively. When the lid is closed, forces are applied from both sides of the lid, resulting in higher tightness.

[0019] Both ends of the connection frame are bent and extended towards the suitcase body to form a latching part. A locking port is horizontally penetrated through the latching part, and the locking hook is attached to the mounting frame and rotates horizontally.

[0020] An extrusion assembly is further provided on the mounting frame. The extrusion assembly includes an extrusion block slidably attached to the suitcase body and an elastic member connected to the rear end of the extrusion block. The elastic member is specifically a spring. The extrusion block is attached to the mounting frame via a position-regulating slide rail and slides along the front-rear direction. The position-regulating slide rail includes an upper slide groove located in the housing and a lower slide groove located in the bottom plate. The upper and lower ends of the extrusion block are respectively fitted into the upper slide groove and the lower slide groove and slide. The front end of the extrusion block extends outside the housing of the mounting frame through a second through hole opened in the housing. The rear end of the elastic member is connected to the housing of the mounting frame. The elastic force direction of the elastic member is consistent with the slide direction of the extrusion block. A contact plate for the extrusion block to abut against is provided on the connection frame. When opening the lid, after the locking hook disengages from the locking port, the extrusion block slides forward under the action of the elastic force, abuts against the contact plate and pushes forward, applying an initial thrust for rotation to the lid, so as to automatically pop out and open the lid.
