Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of automobile parts and safety technology, and in particular to a child safety seat. Background Art

[0002] With the continued growth in car ownership and increasing awareness of child safety in vehicles, the use of child safety seats is becoming increasingly common. Child safety seats currently on the market offer increasingly diverse functions. Conventional child safety seats typically require horizontal rotation and relatively horizontal fore-and-aft pitch adjustment. These rotation and pitch adjustment functions have become key design features for enhancing child comfort. However, existing technologies for implementing these seating functions have also exposed numerous issues, impacting the user experience and safety of child safety seats.

[0003] Some child safety seats feature independent rotation and pitch adjustment mechanisms, making operation cumbersome and complex. Adjusting the seat's posture requires users to adjust both rotation and pitch separately, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that can be challenging in real-world scenarios, such as limited space in a vehicle. This cumbersome process reduces user interest in the seat's adjustment features and prevents them from fully utilizing the seat's comfort benefits.

[0004] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with patent number 202323088961.6 (authorization announcement number 220904764U) discloses a "360-degree rotation and orientation mechanism for a child safety seat". The rotation adjustment requires first installing the front and rear card parts of the rotating group into the stripping spaces on both sides of the base group respectively, and then rotating the rotating group to make the card parts fit into the corresponding card slots. When in use, press the unlocking piece to separate the fixing piece from the positioning slot, and release the unlocking piece to lock the position after rotating the seat to the appropriate angle. The front and rear adjustment is achieved by sliding the connecting shaft of the seat body in the strip guide hole of the rotating group. This separate operation method not only consumes time and energy, but also makes the operation more difficult in actual use scenarios, such as when the space in the car is limited, which brings great inconvenience to the user. This cumbersome operation process reduces the user's willingness to use the seat adjustment function and fails to give full play to the comfort advantages of the seat.

[0005] To this end, how to provide a new seat posture adjustment method that integrates the seat adjustment function, allows the rotation and pitch angle adjustment to be completed in one action, and makes the limit and support of the seat after adjustment more precise and stable, is a problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve.

[0041] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0042] Figures 1 to 9 The figure shows the best embodiment of the present invention. The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] The child safety seat in this embodiment mainly includes a base assembly 1, a rotating disk 2, an adjustment seat 3, a seat body 4, a first locking mechanism 5, a second locking mechanism 6, a linkage handle 7 and an identification mechanism 8.

[0044] Among them, reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the rotating disk 2 can rotate about its own axis on the base assembly 1, the adjusting seat 3 can slide along the radial direction of the rotating disk 2 and rotate synchronously with the rotating disk 2, and the seat body 4 is fixedly mounted on the adjusting seat 3. The first locking mechanism 5 is used to lock the rotation of the rotating disk 2 relative to the base assembly 1, and the second locking mechanism 6 is used to lock the sliding of the adjusting seat 3 relative to the rotating disk 2. The linkage handle 7 can simultaneously drive the first locking mechanism 5 and the second locking mechanism 6. The identification mechanism 8 is used to identify the locking state of the first locking mechanism 5.

[0045] Base assembly 1: Reference Figure 3 As shown, the base assembly 1 includes a base 1c and a limiting pressure ring 1d provided on the base 1c. The base 1c provides a support base for the entire seat, and its shape and size can be designed according to actual installation requirements. A mounting groove 1c1 is formed at a corresponding position of the base 1c for placing the lug 1d3 of the limiting pressure ring 1d. The limiting pressure ring 1d has an inner circumference 1d1 that fits the outer circumference of the rotating disk 2. Two locking grooves 1a are symmetrically distributed relative to the axis of the rotating disk 2 on the inner circumference 1d1. The locking grooves 1a are used to cooperate with the lock buckle 5a of the first locking mechanism 5 to achieve locking of the rotating disk 2. Two lugs 1d3 exposed to the base 1c are formed on the two opposite sides of the limiting pressure ring 1d. The lugs 1d3 are each provided with a viewing window 1b for observing the status of the identification mechanism 8. In addition, a limiting step surface 1d2 is formed on the limiting pressure ring 1d to limit the rotating disk 2 from disengaging outward. The limiting pressure ring 1d is fixed to the base 1c by conventional installation methods (such as bolt connection, snap connection, etc.).

[0046] Rotating disk 2: Reference Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the rotating disk 2 is mounted within the retaining ring 1d of the base assembly 1, rotatably about its own axis. Two raised mounting portions 2b are formed on the top of the rotating disk 2, to which the seat body 4 is secured via bolts or other fixing means. Multiple locking holes 2a are provided on the opposing sidewalls of the two mounting portions 2b. These locking holes 2a are spaced apart and arranged in a pattern along the direction of movement of the linkage handle 7. These locking holes 2a engage the locking rod 6a of the second locking mechanism 6 to lock the adjustable seat 3.

[0047] Adjustment seat 3: reference Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the adjustment seat 3 is mounted on the rotating disk 2, slidingly arranged along its radial direction. Located within the gap between the two mounting portions 2b, it rotates synchronously with the rotating disk 2. The adjustment seat 3 is provided with a guide groove 3a for the movement of the linkage handle 7. Two second guide posts 3a1, spaced apart, are projecting from the bottom of the guide groove 3a. The adjustment seat 3 and the rotating disk 2 can be slidably connected using a conventional sliding connection structure, although this can also be achieved by additionally providing slide rails or sliders.

[0048] Seat body 4: Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the seat body 4 is fixed to the mounting portion 2b of the rotating disk 2 on the adjustment seat 3, providing a seat for the child. The specific structure and design of the seat body 4 can be set according to the conventional requirements of the child safety seat, such as being equipped with a safety belt, a comfortable seat cushion, etc.

[0049] First locking mechanism 5: Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first locking mechanism 5 is provided between the base assembly 1 and the rotating disk 2 and includes a lock buckle 5a, a cable 5b and a spring 5c.

[0050] In this embodiment, two locking latches 5a are provided, symmetrically slidingly disposed on the rotating disk 2. The shape of the locking latches 5a matches the locking slots 1a. In the first locked state, the locking latches 5a protrude from the outer circumference of the rotating disk 2 and insert into the locking slots 1a, thereby locking the rotating disk 2 relative to the base assembly 1. It should be noted that each locking latch 5a is inserted into a corresponding locking slot 1a in the first locked state and can be inserted into another locking slot 1a after the rotating disk 2 rotates 180°, thereby enabling the seat body 4 to have two locked positions 180° apart.

[0051] The lock buckle 5a is provided with a ball head slot 5b3 that is compatible with the ball head 5b1 of the cable 5b. The cable 5b can be a steel cable, with ball heads 5b1 provided at both ends of the steel cable, and a flexible sleeve 5b2 provided on the outer periphery. The first end of the cable 5b is connected to the ball head slot 5b3 of the lock buckle 5a through the ball head 5b1, and the second end is connected to the ball head slot 5b3 on the linkage handle 7 through the ball head 5b1. When the linkage handle 7 moves, the lock buckle 5a is pulled by the cable 5b, so that it switches from the first locked state to the first unlocked state. The spring 5c ​​is mounted on the steel cable, and its two ends respectively abut the lock buckle 5a and the rotating disk 2. When there is no external force, the spring 5c ​​keeps the lock buckle 5a in the first locked state inserted into the lock slot 1a.

[0052] Second locking mechanism 6: Reference Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the second locking mechanism 6 is disposed between the adjustment base 3 and the rotating disk 2 and comprises two laterally extending locking rods 6a. The locking rods 6a are symmetrically positioned on either side of the adjustment base 3 and are laterally movable thereon. Each locking rod 6a is provided with a vertically extending first guide post 6a1, which mates with an inclined guide slot 7a on the linkage handle 7. In the second locking state, the locking rods 6a are inserted into the locking holes 2a on the sidewalls of the mounting portion 2b of the rotating disk 2, locking the adjustment base 3 relative to the rotating disk 2.

[0053] Linkage handle 7: Reference Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the linkage handle 7 is linearly movable within the guide groove 3a of the adjustment seat 3. The linkage handle 7 is provided with two strip-shaped holes 7b corresponding one-to-one with the second guide posts 3a1. Each strip-shaped hole 7b extends along the movement direction of the linkage handle 7. The linkage handle 7 is slidably mounted on the second guide posts 3a1 through the strip-shaped guide holes 7b. The spacing between the two second guide posts 3a1 defines the linear movement trajectory of the linkage handle 7. The linkage handle 7 is also provided with two inclined guide grooves 7a that mate with the first guide posts 6a1 of the locking rod 6a. When the linkage handle 7 moves, the inclined guide grooves 7a and the first guide posts 6a1 interact to drive the locking rod 6a from the second locked state to the second unlocked state.

[0054] Identification Agency 8: Reference Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, the identification mechanism 8 is provided on the base assembly 1, and is used to identify whether the first locking mechanism 5 is in the first locking state, and includes a rotating member 8a and a torsion spring 8b. The rotating member 8a is rotatably provided on the base assembly 1, and a locking identification area 8a1 and an unlocking identification area 8a2 are provided on its surface. When the lock buckle 5a is in the first locking state, it pushes the rotating member 8a to rotate, so that the locking identification area 8a1 is exposed through the viewing window 1b; when the lock buckle 5a is in the first unlocking state, the rotating member 8a rotates and resets under the action of the torsion spring 8b, so that the unlocking identification area 8a2 is exposed through the viewing window 1b. We can also provide better recognition by setting the locking identification area 8a1 and the unlocking identification area 8a2 to different colors. The torsion spring 8b is installed on the rotating shaft of the rotating member 8a to provide the rotating member 8a with a force for rotation and reset.

[0055] The working principle of the child safety seat in this embodiment is described as follows

[0056] 1. Linked Unlocking Principle: When the user needs to adjust the posture of the child safety seat, they grasp the linkage handle 7 and apply external force in a preset direction to move it. During this process, the movement of the linkage handle 7 acts on the first locking mechanism 5 and the second locking mechanism 6 respectively through two different mechanical connection structures, achieving synchronous unlocking.

[0057] In the first locking mechanism 5, the linkage handle 7 transmits tension via the cable 5b. The ball heads 5b1 at each end of the cable 5b tightly engage with the ball head retaining grooves 5b3 on the linkage handle 7 and the lock buckle 5a, respectively, forming a secure connection. When the linkage handle 7 moves, the ball head retaining grooves 5b3 drive the ball head 5b1, which in turn pulls the linkage handle 5b. This causes the lock buckle 5a, connected to the other end of the cable 5b, to overcome the elastic force of the spring 5c ​​and withdraw from the lock groove 1a on the inner circumference 1d1 of the limiting pressure ring 1d of the base assembly 1, releasing the rotation restriction of the rotating disk 2 relative to the base assembly 1, and the first locking mechanism 5 switches to the first unlocked state.

[0058] The second locking mechanism 6 is unlocked by the movement of the linkage handle 7, which utilizes the coordinated interaction between the inclined guide slot 7a and the first guide post 6a1 on the lock rod 6a. When the linkage handle 7 is moved in a predetermined direction, the inclination angle of the inclined guide slot 7a causes the first guide post 6a1 to slide within the guide slot. Since the first guide post 6a1 is fixedly connected to the lock rod 6a, this drives the lock rod 6a to move laterally, allowing the lock rod 6a to exit the lock hole 2a on the side wall of the mounting portion 2b of the rotating disk 2. This releases the restriction on the sliding movement of the adjustment seat 3 relative to the rotating disk 2, and the second locking mechanism 6 switches to the second unlocked state.

[0059] 2. Posture Adjustment Principle

[0060] With both the first locking mechanism 5 and the second locking mechanism 6 unlocked, the seat body 4 is free to move. Because the seat body 4 is fixed to the adjustment base 3, which rotates synchronously with the rotating disk 2 and can slide radially along the rotating disk 2, the user can adjust the seat body 4 in two dimensions simultaneously.

[0061] The user can rotate the seat body 4 around the axis of the rotating disk 2 to change its orientation to meet different riding needs, such as facing forward, facing backward, etc.; at the same time, the user can also push the seat body 4 to make the adjustment seat 3 slide radially on the rotating disk 2 to adjust the front and rear position of the seat and simulate the adjustment of the pitch angle to adapt to children of different body shapes and riding comfort needs.

[0062] 3. Locking Principle

[0063] When the seat body 4 is adjusted to a suitable position, the linkage handle 7 is released, and the first locking mechanism 5 and the second locking mechanism 6 are automatically restored to the locked state under the action of the corresponding reset structure.

[0064] In the first locking mechanism 5, the spring 5c ​​is deformed and stores elastic potential energy when the lock buckle 5a is pulled. When the external force of the linkage handle 7 disappears, the spring 5c ​​releases the elastic potential energy, pushing the lock buckle 5a to reset along the sliding direction, so that the lock buckle 5a is reinserted into the lock groove 1a on the inner circumference 1d1 of the limiting pressure ring 1d, locking the rotating disk 2 in the current position to prevent it from rotating relative to the base assembly 1. During this process, the linkage handle 7 will also retract and reset accordingly.

[0065] In the second locking mechanism 6, after the locking rod 6a disengages from the locking hole 2a, it is reset by moving laterally after the linkage handle 7 is released, so that the locking rod 6a is reinserted into the corresponding locking hole 2a on the side wall of the mounting portion 2b of the rotating disk 2, locking the adjustment seat 3 in the current position to prevent it from sliding relative to the rotating disk 2, thereby achieving stable locking of the position of the seat body 4. Of course, we can also add another reset mechanism here to enhance the reset performance of the locking rod 6a.

[0066] 4. State Recognition Principle

[0067] Identification mechanism 8 visually displays the operating status of the first locking mechanism 5. When the lock buckle 5a is in the first locking state (i.e., inserted into the locking slot 1a), the lock buckle 5a pushes the rotating member 8a to rotate about its axis during insertion. As the rotating member 8a rotates, the locking identification area 8a1 on the surface of the rotating member 8a gradually moves to the position of the viewing window 1b, becoming visible through the viewing window 1b. The user can now see the locking identification area 8a1 through the viewing window 1b, confirming that the first locking mechanism 5 is in the locked state and the seat is securely locked.

[0068] When the first locking mechanism 5 is in the first unlocked state (i.e., when the lock catch 5a is withdrawn from the lock slot 1a), the rotating member 8a is no longer pushed by the lock catch 5a. At this point, the torsion spring 8b attached to the rotating shaft of the rotating member 8a comes into play. The stored elastic potential energy of the torsion spring 8b drives the rotating member 8a to rotate and reset, causing the unlocked identification area 8a2 to move to the position of the viewing window 1b and be exposed. The user can see the unlocked identification area 8a2 through the viewing window 1b, indicating that the first locking mechanism 5 is unlocked and the seat is adjustable.

[0069] It should be noted that in the description of this embodiment, the terms "front, back", "left, right", "up, down", etc. indicating directions or positional relationships are all based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. The terms "install", "connect", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can be fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected; they can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or they can be internal connections between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
