[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the pin-type double lock provided in this embodiment of the invention includes: a mounting base 100, an ISOFIX assembly 200, a fixing rod 300, and a locking device 400; the fixing rod 300 is connected to the ISOFIX assembly 200 and is slidably connected to the mounting base 100; the locking device 400 is mounted on the mounting base 100 and is used to lock the fixing rod 300.

[0035] As the ISOFIX assembly 200 moves between the retracted and extended positions, the retaining rod 300 slides relative to the mounting base 100. The retaining rod 300 can be locked by the locking device 400, thereby limiting the ISOFIX assembly 200 and preventing it from retracting during the connection of the ISOFIX assembly 200 to the anchor point on the car seat.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the ISOFIX component 200 is connected to the pull strap 500, which is used to pull the ISOFIX component 200 from the retracting station to the extending station.

[0037] When it is necessary to connect the ISOFIX assembly 200 to the anchor point on the car seat, the pull strap 500 is manually pulled to move the ISOFIX assembly 200 from the retracted position to the extended position. With the ISOFIX assembly 200 in the extended position, the locking device 400 locks the fixing rod 300, thereby preventing the ISOFIX assembly 200 from retracting.

[0038] In some embodiments, the locking device 400 may be a set screw or a latch mounted on the mounting base 100, which can lock the ISOFIX assembly 200 at any position between the retracted position and the extended position. When the ISOFIX assembly 200 is connected to the anchor point on the vehicle seat, the locking device 400 is operated to unlock the ISOFIX assembly 200, thereby ensuring that the ISOFIX assembly 200 can slide relative to the mounting base 100.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking device 400 includes an electromagnetic lock, and the bolt 410 of the electromagnetic lock is provided with a bevel 411;

[0040] The electromagnetic lock has elasticity, and the bolt 410 tends to remain in the locked state when locked.

[0041] During the process of ISOFIX component 200 moving from the retracted station to the extended station, the fixed rod 300 abuts against the inclined surface 411 and switches the locking tongue 410 to the unlocked state.

[0042] When the ISOFIX component 200 moves to the extended position, the locking tongue 410 switches from the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0043] See Figure 2 The inclined plane 411 slopes downwards from the retracted position near the ISOFIX assembly 200 to the extended position near the extended position. During the movement of the ISOFIX assembly 200 from the retracted position to the extended position, the fixing rod 300 abuts against the inclined plane 411, and the fixing rod 300 presses against the locking tongue 410 along the inclined plane 411, thereby switching the locking tongue 410 from the locked state to the unlocked state. When the locking tongue 410 switches to the locked state, the fixing rod 300 can move to the right side of the locking tongue 410. At this time, the ISOFIX assembly 200 reaches the extended position, and the locking tongue 410 springs back to the locked state under the action of elasticity, preventing the fixing rod 300 from moving to the left, thus preventing the ISOFIX assembly 200 from moving towards the retracted position.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the interface 210 of the ISOFIX component 200 is equipped with a latch signal switch, which is used to detect the connection status of the interface 210.

[0045] Specifically, the latch signal switch includes a micro switch. When the interface 210 of the ISOFIX assembly 200 is connected to the anchor point on the car seat, the latch signal switch is triggered. The connection status of the interface 210 can be determined based on the triggering state of the latch signal switch.

[0046] Furthermore, the locking device 400 and the latch signal switch are respectively connected to the controller;

[0047] The controller is used to control the locking device 400 to switch from the locking state to the unlocking state when the interface 210 is connected to the ISOFIX anchor point on the car seat.

[0048] When the interface 210 of the ISOFIX assembly 200 is connected to the anchor point on the car seat, the controller controls the locking device 400 to unlock according to the signal of the latch signal switch, thereby releasing the limit on the fixing rod 300. At this time, the mounting base 100 can move relative to the ISOFIX assembly 200 so that the child safety seat can be pushed firmly on the car seat.

[0049] Furthermore, the electromagnetic lock is configured to switch to the unlocked state when powered on and to the locked state when powered off.

[0050] When the electromagnetic lock is energized, the latch 410 retracts; when the electromagnetic lock is de-energized, the latch 410 is pushed out by the spring force. When the interface 210 of the ISOFIX assembly 200 is connected to the anchor point on the car seat, the controller controls the electromagnetic lock to be energized and maintains the energized state for a certain period of time. During this period, the mounting base 100 can move relative to the ISOFIX assembly 200, thereby disengaging the ISOFIX assembly 200 from the locked state.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the mounting base 100 includes: a base 110, a first bracket 120, and a second bracket 130;

[0052] The first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130 are respectively mounted on the base 110;

[0053] The fixed rod 300 is slidably connected between the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130.

[0054] Specifically, the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130 are respectively provided with sliding grooves, the fixing rod 300 passes through the sliding groove of the first bracket 120 and the sliding groove of the second bracket 130, and the fixing rod 300 can slide along the sliding groove.

[0055] Furthermore, the mounting base 100 also includes a pin mounting bracket 140, which is installed between the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130, and the locking device 400 is installed on the pin mounting bracket 140.

[0056] The pin mounting bracket 140 is provided with a mounting hole, the locking device 400 is inserted into the mounting hole, and the locking device 400 is connected to the pin mounting bracket 140 by a threaded fastener.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first bracket 120 and the second bracket 130 are respectively provided with a gear tooth 101 adapted to the ISOFIX component 200.

[0058] During the movement of the ISOFIX assembly 200 from the retracting station to the extending station relative to the mounting base 100, the ISOFIX assembly 200 can slide relative to the stop tooth 101, and when the ISOFIX assembly 200 is in the locked state, the stop tooth 101 can prevent the ISOFIX assembly 200 from moving towards the retracting station.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the safety seat provided in this embodiment of the invention includes the pin-type double lock provided in Embodiment 1.

[0061] The safety seat provided in this embodiment is equipped with a pin-type double lock, which has the technical effect of a pin-type double lock, and will not be described in detail here.

[0062] The steps for installing a child safety seat in a car are as follows:

[0063] By pulling the strap 500, the ISOFIX assembly 200 is pulled from the retractable position to the extended position. During the movement of the ISOFIX assembly 200, the fixing rod 300 abuts against the inclined surface 411, causing the locking tongue 410 to retract to the unlocked state, thus enabling the ISOFIX assembly 200 to move to the extended position. When the ISOFIX assembly 200 can move to the extended position, the locking tongue 410 automatically switches to the locking state under the action of elasticity. In the locked state, the locking tongue 410 can prevent the ISOFIX assembly 200 from retracting. At this time, when the child safety seat is installed in the car seat, during the process of pushing the child safety seat to connect the interface 210 of the ISOFIX assembly 200 to the anchor point on the car seat, the ISOFIX assembly 200 will not retract, thus eliminating the need to manually keep the ISOFIX assembly 200 extended. When interface 210 is connected to the anchor point on the car seat, the controller controls the locking device 400 to switch to the unlocked state. After maintaining the unlocked state for a certain period of time, the locking device 400 is de-energized, and the locking tongue 410 automatically switches to the locking state under the action of spring force. During the period when the locking device 400 switches to the unlocked state, the ISOFIX assembly 200 can move away from the extension station to between the retraction station and the extension station. Therefore, when the child safety seat is connected to the car seat, the locking device 400 no longer limits the ISOFIX assembly 200.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
