About Free Lock Gepäck

Free Lock ass e Koffer, deen entwéckelt gouf fir Reesender, déi hiert Gepäck fir kuerz Zäit onbeaacht loosse musse. De Grëff vum Free Lock funktionéiert och als Schlass. De Grëff gëtt mat engem Codeschlass entrigelt, ëm 90 Grad gedréint an un engem fixen Objet wéi zum Beispill eng Bank oder e Gelänner befestegt. Reesender kënnen dann ausrouen oder eng Toilette benotze, ouni de Koffer mathuelen ze mussen. De Kierper ass haaptsächlech aus ABS- a PC-Plastik hiergestallt, deen haart a stoussfest ass. Déi véier Ecke sinn mat Aluminium ëmwéckelt fir zousätzlechen Schutz. De Koffer moosst 48,5 mol 38,5 mol 84 Zentimeter.

Production Technology
Mainly using ABC+PC material, impact resistance, high hardness, strong toughness, cheap price. The four corners are covered with aluminum metal for protection.
Design Challenge
This is an innovative design with a complex internal structure, and the machining qualification rate is the biggest challenge encountered by this project.
Research
According to the survey, most airports and stations have toilets the size of which cannot accommodate a large luggage. Carrying a luggage into the toilet is inconvenient. According to statistics, most people choose to enter the airport lounge half an hour to an hour in advance, during this period of time people should be careful about the problem of lost luggage.
Inspiration
The experience in lounge inspired me to come up with the project. My job requires travel. When I wait for train or plane, I must watch my luggage even I want to rest. In addition, I have to take my luggage into the toilet. This made my trip difficult. I was inspired by the lock and wanted to design a luggage that could be safely locked in a fixed area.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2019 in Anhui and finished in May 2019 in that place, and was exhibited in Shantou in June 2019.
Operation Flow
First of all, find a fixed area such as a common area or a railing. Then the user opens the handle of Free Lock through the coded lock . Turn the handle of the luggage 90° and lock it. After that users can rest assured to go to the toilet or concentrate on rest.
