In a preferred embodiment, the mounting boxes 2 are arranged in a base 27. The base 27 is embedded in the suitcase, and the base 27 can further fix the mounting boxes 2 and protect the mounting boxes 2.

[0040] When a suitcase placed on the ground needs to be lifted for weighing, the deformation caused by a hand holding the handle 1 causes the movement of the connecting rod 4, the first connecting slots 3 can provide a movement space for the connecting rod 4 so as to prevent the connecting rod 4 from directly driving the connecting member 12 to translate, the guide slot 5 guides the connecting rod 4, and converts a transverse movement of the connecting rod 4 into an oblique movement, during which the measuring unit does not count, and when the suitcase is lifted, the connecting rod 4 comes in contact with the connecting member 12 and drives the connecting member 12 to move, enabling the measuring unit to count, thereby ensuring the accuracy of a weighing result.

[0041] An upper limit of measurement of the suitcase handle capable of displaying weight of the present disclosure is determined by the guide slot 5. Specifically, when the connecting rod 4 abuts against the top edge of the guide slot 5, the extension of the tension spring 13 reaches a maximum, what the display unit displays is the maximum measured value, and even if the weight of the suitcase exceeds the value of the display unit, the connecting rod 4 would be limited by the guide slot 5, preventing the tension spring 13 from being further extended, thereby functioning to protect the tension spring 13. The value of the upper limit of measurement is determined by a length and an angle of inclination of the guide slot 5, and if the guide slot 5 has a longer length and a greater angle of inclination, the upper limit of measurement is higher.

[0042] The present disclosure also provides a suitcase including a body and the suitcase handle capable of displaying weight described above, and having the technical effect that can be achieved by the suitcase handle capable of displaying weight described above, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0043] In the present disclosure, the principle and embodiments of the present disclosure are described herein by using specific examples, the above descriptions of the embodiments are merely intended to help understand the methods and core idea of the present disclosure. In addition, for those of ordinary skill in the art, changes may be made to the specific embodiments and the scope of application according to the concept of the present disclosure. In summary, the content of the description should not be construed as a limitation to the present disclosure.
