About Changer Walizka

Changer to walizka o regulowanym rozmiarze, zaprojektowana z myślą o podróżnych, których potrzeby dotyczące pojemności zmieniają się w zależności od podróży. Obudowa składa się z wielu zagnieżdżonych warstw powłoki. W stanie kompaktowym Changer służy jako niewielka walizka, którą można zabrać na pokład samolotu jako bagaż podręczny. Obrócenie pokrętła z przodu zwalnia wewnętrzne sekcje, które wysuwa się, tworząc dużą walizkę, a obrócenie pokrętła z powrotem blokuje wybrany rozmiar. Korpus wykonano głównie z tworzyw ABS i PC, a cztery narożniki pokryto aluminium w celu ochrony.

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 research, people usually buy more than two suitcases to meet different travel needs. When they go on business trips, they tend to carry a small suitcase. When families travel, they often carry large luggage. This can cause a lot of unnecessary waste. There is a great market demand to solve this problem.
Inspiration
I was inspired by the way the armor was stacked. Our motivation for designing changer was the experience of travel. The size of luggage you need to carry on a trip is different for everyone. Sometimes it can be carried around, and sometimes it needs to store a lot of things. So, we wanted to integrate the large and small luggage. We want to design a luggage that could be resized.
Project Duration
The project started in September 2020 in Milan and finished in February 2021 in that place, and was exhibited in China in February 2021.
Operation Flow
First, it works just fine as a normal small box. Then, when you need to carry large items, turn the knob on the front and move all the inner parts. Third, pull out all the inner parts and this small luggage becomes a big one. Fourth, turn back the knob in the opposite direction to lock the suitcase. In this way, changer can be fixed without transformation.
