Description

An electric driving luggage box Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of luggage technology, and more particularly to an electrically powered luggage. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of science and technology, the functionality of suitcases has become increasingly sophisticated to meet people's travel needs. Among them, electric suitcases are an improvement on traditional suitcases, enabling them to be ridden, thus reducing the burden of carrying luggage. Electric suitcases not only have the storage function of ordinary suitcases but also have a riding function. Driven by electricity, they save users' physical strength and bring a new user experience to people's travels. Technical issues

[0003] However, during the research process of this application, the inventors discovered that existing ride-on suitcases typically only have front and rear wheels installed on both sides of the bottom of the suitcase. The design, in which the front wheel is driven by a hub motor and the rear wheel follows suit, enables the suitcase to move automatically on the road. Due to the limited space at the bottom of the suitcase, the distance between the front and rear wheels is relatively close. Most existing ride-on suitcases do not allow adjustment of the distance between the front and rear wheels, making it difficult for users to stretch their limbs while sitting on the suitcase. This is especially inconvenient for taller and larger users, significantly affecting the maneuverability of the electric suitcase while riding. It is particularly cumbersome when turning, making it prone to tipping over, which greatly impacts the user's riding experience and enjoyment. Technical solutions

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electrically driven luggage box, which aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0013] Furthermore, the first rollers are arranged in pairs, with the two first rollers located on both sides of the second end of the first extension rod, and there are two first guide rails, with the two first rollers correspondingly arranged on the two first guide rails.

[0014] The second rollers are arranged in pairs, with the two second rollers located on both sides of the second end of the second extension rod. There are two second guide rails, with the two second rollers correspondingly arranged on the two second guide rails.

[0015] Furthermore, the front wall of the housing has a first receiving cavity vertically formed, and the first guide rail is housed in the first receiving cavity. The steering mechanism has a second receiving cavity on the side near the housing, and the second guide rail is housed in the second receiving cavity.

[0016] When the extension component is in the closed state, the extension component is at least partially housed between the first receiving cavity and the second receiving cavity.

[0017] Furthermore, the second guide rail is a second guide groove, and the second roller is rotatably accommodated in the second guide groove; the first guide rail is a first guide groove, and the first roller is rotatably accommodated in the first guide groove.

[0018] Furthermore, the first extension rod and the second extension rod are arranged in a cross configuration, and the second extension rods are arranged in pairs, with the middle part of the first extension rod rotatably connected between the two second extension rods;

[0019] Alternatively, the first extension rod and the second extension rod may be arranged in a cross configuration, with the first extension rods arranged in pairs, and the middle part of the second extension rod rotatably connected between the two first extension rods.

[0028] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the electric driving luggage box of the present invention allows the user to sit on the top wall of the box when riding. The user can extend or retract the extension component to move the steering mechanism away from or towards the box. The extension positioning structure positions the extension component in the extended or retracted state, so that the extension component extends and drives the steering mechanism away from the box, thereby switching to the extended state. This increases the riding space by moving the steering mechanism and the front wheel away from the box, allowing the user to stretch out their limbs while riding, thus providing a more comfortable riding posture and facilitating steering control, thereby enhancing the user's riding experience and enjoyment. When the user does not need to ride, the extension component retracts and drives the steering mechanism towards the box, thereby switching to the retracted state. This allows the steering mechanism and the front wheel to fold up close to the front wall of the box, reducing the space occupied by the entire luggage box, making it easy to store, carry, and transport, and convenient to use.

Embodiments of the present invention

[0041] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8. This embodiment provides an electric driving luggage box, including a box body 100, a steering mechanism 200, an assembly 220, an extension component 300, and an electric push rod 370. The box body 100 includes a top wall 110 for seating, a front wall 120, and a rear wheel 130 disposed at the bottom of the box body 100. The box body 100 has a space for storing clothing. The lower part of the steering mechanism 200 is provided with a front wheel 210 via a front fork. The steering mechanism 200 is used to control the steering of the front wheel 210. The steering mechanism 200 includes... Assembly 220; Extension assembly 300 includes a first extension rod 310 and a second extension rod 320. The middle part of the first extension rod 310 is hinged to the middle part of the second extension rod 320. The first end of the first extension rod 310 is hinged to the assembly 220. The second end of the first extension rod 310 is provided with a first shaft 342. A first roller 340 is provided on the first shaft 342. The front wall 120 of the housing 100 is vertically provided with a first guide rail 330. The first roller 340 is slidably or rotatably mounted on the first guide rail 330. The first end of the extension rod 320 is hinged to the front wall 120 of the housing 100. The second end of the second extension rod 320 is provided with a second shaft 362, and a second roller 360 is provided on the second shaft 362. The assembly 220 is provided with a second guide rail 350 along the vertical direction. The second roller 360 is slidably or rotatably mounted on the second guide rail 350. The extension positioning structure is provided between the steering mechanism 200 and the second end of the second extension rod 320, or the extension positioning structure is provided between the second end of the first extension rod 310 and the front wall of the housing 100. The extension assembly 300 can be positioned and held in an extended or closed state by means of an extension positioning structure. The extension positioning structure includes an electric push rod 370, which is driven to the second end of the first extension rod 310 or the second end of the second extension rod 320 to drive the first roller 340 to roll along the first guide rail 330 or drive the second roller 360 to roll along the second guide rail 350, so that the extension assembly 300 is extended or closed, thereby driving the steering mechanism 200 to move away from or towards the housing 100.

[0043] As can be seen, in this embodiment of the electric riding luggage box, when the user needs to ride, the user can sit on the top wall 110 of the box body 100. The electric push rod 370 drives the first roller 340 to roll along the first guide rail 330, causing the extension component 300 to unfold. This, in turn, drives the steering mechanism 200 to move away from the box body 100, switching to the unfolded state. This allows the steering mechanism 200 and the front wheel 210 to move away from the box body 100, increasing the riding space and allowing the user to stretch out their limbs while riding, thus providing a more comfortable riding experience. The riding posture facilitates steering control while riding, thereby enhancing the user's riding experience and enjoyment. When the user does not need to ride, the electric push rod 370 drives the first roller 340 to roll along the first guide rail 330, causing the extension component 300 to close, which in turn drives the steering mechanism 200 to move towards the box 100 to switch to the closed state. This allows the steering mechanism 200 and the front wheel 210 to fold closer to the box 100, reducing the space occupied by the entire suitcase and making it easier to store, carry, and transport, as well as convenient to use.

[0044] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the steering mechanism 200 is moved toward the box 100 to switch the extension component 300 to the closed state. After closing, the volume is small and does not take up much space, thus facilitating storage and transportation. As shown in Figure 2, the steering mechanism 200 is moved away from the box 100 to switch the extension component 300 to the unfolded state, thus facilitating riding.

[0045] The front wheel 210 is a hub motor wheel, which is controlled by a controller to rotate. The rear wheel 130 follows the rotation of the front wheel 210. The assembly 220 contains a battery for power supply, preferably a rechargeable battery. The user sits on the top wall 110 of the box body 100 and holds the handle above the steering mechanism 200 with both hands or one hand. The handle is equipped with several control buttons of the controller, so as to control the steering of the front wheel 210 by turning the steering mechanism 200, thereby realizing the riding of the suitcase on the road.

[0046] In this embodiment, the central axis of the first shaft 342 is perpendicular to the length direction of the first extension rod 310, and the central axis of the second shaft 362 is perpendicular to the length direction of the second extension rod 320.

[0047] Specifically, the first rollers 340 are arranged in pairs, with the two first rollers 340 located on both sides of the second end of the first extension rod 310. There are two first guide rails 330, with the two first rollers 340 correspondingly mounted on the two first guide rails 330. The second rollers 360 are also arranged in pairs, with the two second rollers 360 located on both sides of the second end of the second extension rod 320. There are two second guide rails 350, with the two second rollers 360 correspondingly mounted on the two second guide rails 350. This arrangement ensures that the first rollers 340 roll smoothly along the first guide rails 330, and also ensures the stability and reliability of the structural assembly.

[0048] Furthermore, the front wall 120 of the case 100 has a first receiving cavity 121 vertically formed, and the first guide rail 330 is housed in the first receiving cavity 121. The mounting accessory 220 has a second receiving cavity 221 on the side near the case 100, and the second guide rail 350 is housed in the second receiving cavity 221. When the extension assembly 300 is in the closed state, the extension assembly 300 is housed between the first receiving cavity 121 and the second receiving cavity 221. The first end of the first extension rod 310 is hinged to the second receiving cavity 221 through a hinge shaft, and the first end of the second extension rod 320 is hinged to the first receiving cavity 121 through a hinge shaft. The electric push rod 370 is installed in the first receiving cavity 121 or the second receiving cavity 221. This arrangement allows some of the mounting structures of the extension assembly 300 to be hidden in the first receiving cavity 121 or the second receiving cavity 221, resulting in a compact structure design that does not affect the external aesthetics of the suitcase.

[0049] The front wall 120 of the housing 100 has a through opening, and a mounting base 140 is installed at the through opening. The cross-sectional shape of the mounting base 140 is approximately C-shaped. The first receiving cavity 121 is set on the mounting base 140. The mounting base 140 is fixedly installed on the front wall 120 of the housing 100 by screws. This configuration is simple in structure, has low processing difficulty and production cost, and is easy to assemble.

[0050] In this embodiment, first guide rails 330 are provided on both sides of the first receiving cavity 121, and two first rollers 340 are respectively disposed on the two first guide rails 330. Second guide rails 350 are provided on both sides of the second receiving cavity 221, and two second rollers 360 are respectively disposed on the two second guide rails 350. This further improves the stability and safety of the structure.

[0051] Specifically, the second guide rail 350 is a second guide groove, and the upper part of the second guide groove is open. The upper part of the second receiving cavity 221 is covered by a cover plate 222, so that the second roller 360 can be rotatably accommodated in the second guide groove by removing the cover plate 222. The cover plate 222 is fixed to the top of the assembly 220 by screws. The assembly 220 is a sleeve structure and is sleeved on the steering mechanism 200. The upper part of the steering mechanism 200 extends out of the assembly 220 and is provided with a handle for hand gripping.

[0052] Furthermore, the first guide rail 330 is a first guide groove, and the upper part of the first guide groove is open so that the first roller 340 can be rotatably accommodated in the first guide groove through the opening, and the opposite sidewalls of the two first guide grooves are connected.

[0053] In this embodiment, a first annular groove 341 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the first roller 340, and a first strip-shaped protrusion 331 is provided on each of the opposite side walls of the first guide groove. Both first strip-shaped protrusions 331 are embedded in the first annular groove 341, and the first roller 340 is located between the two first strip-shaped protrusions 331. In this way, the first roller 340 can roll stably in the first guide groove vertically by the cooperation of the first strip-shaped protrusions 331 and the first annular groove 341. The structure is compact, stable and reliable.

[0054] The first strip protrusion 331 is a first cylindrical soft rubber strip, and the first strip groove is provided on both sides of the first guide groove. The first cylindrical soft rubber strip is embedded in the first strip groove.

[0055] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral surface of the second roller 360 is provided with a second annular groove 361, and the opposite side walls of the second guide groove are provided with second strip-shaped protrusions 351. Both second strip-shaped protrusions 351 are embedded in the second annular groove 361, and the second roller 360 is located between the two second strip-shaped protrusions 351. In this way, the second roller 360 can roll stably in the second guide groove vertically by the cooperation of the second strip-shaped protrusions 351 and the second annular groove 361. The structure is compact, stable and reliable.

[0056] The second strip protrusion 351 is a second cylindrical soft rubber strip, and the two opposite side walls of the second guide groove are provided with second strip grooves, and the second cylindrical soft rubber strip is embedded in the second strip groove.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first extension rod 310 and the second extension rod 320 are arranged in a cross configuration, and the second extension rods 320 are arranged in pairs. There is only one first extension rod 310, and the middle part of the first extension rod 310 is rotatably connected between the two second extension rods 320. This configuration makes the structure of the extension assembly 300 more stable, less prone to shaking, safe and reliable, and provides a better riding experience.

[0058] In other embodiments, the first extension rod 310 and the second extension rod 320 are arranged in a cross configuration, and the first extension rods 310 are arranged in pairs, while there is only one second extension rod 320, with the middle part of the second extension rod 320 rotatably connected between the two first extension rods 310.

[0059] The above description represents the preferred embodiments of the present invention.
