[0028] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0029] Child seats are typically required in cars and other vehicles to enhance children's safety while traveling. In related technologies, child seats are increasingly equipped with additional functions, increasing their technological sophistication and intelligence. However, when child seats utilize additional functions including electronic control modules, they require power from the vehicle's cigarette lighter or other locations. This necessitates additional conductive wiring to connect the vehicle's power supply to the electronic control module, resulting in complex wiring and increased space requirements within the vehicle.

[0030] This disclosure discloses a child seat installed in a vehicle. The vehicle includes a mounting section and a power module. The mounting section has a power output terminal, which is electrically connected to the power module. The child seat includes a seat body and a power receiver. The seat body is assembled with the mounting section, and the power receiver is disposed on the seat body. When the seat body and the mounting section are assembled, the power receiver and the power output terminal are positioned correspondingly and electrically connected.

[0031] Because the power receiver located on the seat body corresponds to and is electrically connected to the power output of the vehicle mounting unit, and the power output is electrically connected to the power module, when the seat body is assembled in the mounting unit, the power output and power receiver are electrically connected to conduct power to the seat body. This eliminates the need for additional conductive wiring within the vehicle's passenger space, simplifying the conductive wiring of the child seat and improving the vehicle's space utilization. It also prevents damage to the power module or other power-requiring electronic control modules located on the seat body from accidental connection of external conductive wires.

[0032] In such Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the child seat 1 includes a seat body 11 and a first connector 12. The seat body 11 is assembled to a mounting portion 21, the first connector 12 is disposed on the seat body 11, and the mounting portion 21 is provided with a second connector 22. The first connector 12 and the second connector 22 are fixedly connected so that the seat body 11 is assembled to the mounting portion 21. A power receiving end 15 may be disposed on the first connector 12, and a power output end 23 may be disposed on the second connector 22. When the first connector 12 and the second connector 22 are fixedly connected, the power receiving end 15 and the power output end 23 are electrically connected. The electrical connection between the power receiving end 15 and the power output end 23 can be achieved through contact mating between the power receiving end 15 (as a conductor) and the power output end 23 (as a conductor).

[0033] The first connector 12, located on the seat body 11, is fixedly connected to the second connector 22 located on the vehicle mounting section 21, allowing the seat body 11 to be assembled into the vehicle. When the first connector 12 and the second connector 22 are fixedly connected, the power receiving end 15 is electrically connected to the power output end 23. This allows the first connector 12 to conduct power into the seat body 11 through its fixed connection with the second connector 22, eliminating the need for additional conductive lines to enter the seat body 11 within the vehicle's passenger space. This simplifies the conductive wiring of the child seat 1 and improves the vehicle's space utilization. It also prevents damage to the power module or the power-consuming electronic control modules located on the seat body 11 due to misconnection of external conductive lines.

[0034] For example, the first connector 12 can be an ISOFIX connector disposed on the seat body 11, and the second connector 22 can be an ISOFIX mount disposed on the vehicle mounting section 21. The assembly of the seat body 11 and the vehicle is achieved through the fixed connection between the ISOFIX connector and the ISOFIX mount. The power receiving end 15 can be a conductive area disposed on the ISOFIX connector, and the power output end 23 can be a conductive area disposed on the ISOFIX mount.

[0035] In the above embodiment, the seat body 11 may include a seating portion 111 and a base portion 112, with the seating portion 111 forming a seating space 113. The base portion 112 is disposed at the bottom of the seating portion 111 for supporting and mounting the seating portion 111. A first connector 12 may be disposed on the base portion 112 to avoid structural occupation and interference with the assembly space of the seating portion 111.

[0036] In one embodiment, the base portion 112 includes a first mounting bracket 13 extending rearward toward the seating space 113, and a first connector 12 is disposed on the first mounting bracket 13. The first connector 12 is disposed on the first mounting bracket 13 extending rearward toward the seating space 113 to facilitate the assembly and engagement of the first connector 12 and the second connector 22.

[0037] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first mounting bracket 13 may include a pair of mounting rods 131, and a first connector 12 is disposed at the end of at least one mounting rod 131. When the first mounting bracket 13 is assembled with a vehicle seat, the first connector 12 located at the end of the mounting rod 131 can be quickly and securely connected to the second connector 22 and make conductive contact, thereby improving the reliability of the conductive connection between the first connector 12 and the second connector 22.

[0038] The first connector 12 can be connected to a positive power source and / or a negative power source. That is, one of the first connectors 12 located at the ends of the two mounting rods 131 can be connected to a positive power source and the other to a negative power source. Alternatively, a single first connector 12 can be connected to both a positive and a negative power source.

[0039] In another embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the base portion 112 includes a second mounting bracket 14 disposed below the base portion 112, and a first connector 12 disposed on the second mounting bracket 14. The first connector 12 is disposed on the second mounting bracket 14 located below the base portion 112 to facilitate the assembly and mating of the first connector 12 and the second connector 22. The second mounting bracket 14 can abut against the mounting portion 21 from top to bottom to form a mounting fit, thereby fixing the seat body 11 in place.

[0040] It should be noted that the base portion 112 may include the aforementioned first mounting bracket 13 and second mounting bracket 14, so as to fix the seat body 11 to the second connecting portion of the vehicle through the first connecting portion on the first mounting bracket 13 and the second mounting bracket 14, thereby realizing the fixed installation of the seat body 11. The cooperation between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion of the first mounting bracket 13 and the second mounting bracket 14 improves the installation stability of the seat body 11.

[0041] In such Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the first connector 12 may include a slot 121 and a locking structure 122 disposed in the slot 121. The second connector 22 includes a hook 221, which engages with the slot 121, and the locking structure 122 is fixedly positioned with the hook 221. The engagement between the hook 221 and the slot 121 improves assembly convenience, and the locking structure 122 disposed in the slot 121 enhances the engagement stability of the first connector 12 and the second connector 22. The slot 121 and / or the locking structure 122 can make conductive contact with the hook 221 to achieve circuit continuity.

[0042] The aforementioned slot 121 may include an upper structure 1211 and a lower structure 1212, which together form a slot 121 opening toward the hook 221. The locking structure 122 includes a locking block movably assembled to the upper structure 1211 and / or the lower structure 1212. When the hook 221 is inserted into the slot 121, the locking block moves away from the receiving space of the slot 121 to facilitate the insertion of the hook 221. After the hook 221 is inserted into the slot 121, the locking block returns to the receiving space of the slot 121 to block the hook 221 and prevent it from falling out of the slot 121. In this embodiment, the first connecting member 12 may also be provided with an elastic member that elastically abuts against the locking structure 122 to facilitate the movement and reset of the locking structure 122.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the hook 221 can be a U-shaped structure. After the U-shaped structure is inserted into the slot 121, it has a semi-circular structure that cooperates with the locking structure 122, preventing the hook 221 from falling off and improving the stability of the locking and fixing. In some embodiments, the locking block can include an arc-shaped guide surface. The arc-shaped structure of the arc-shaped guide surface facilitates the insertion of the hook 221 and improves the smoothness of the hook 221's insertion. The arc-shaped guide surface of the locking structure 122 can be set along the insertion direction of the hook 221 to form an arc-shaped guide surface structure with a plane sidewall and connecting the two sidewalls.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the child seat 1 may further include a conductive connector 123, which is conductively connected to the first connector 12. The seat body 11 is provided with a conductive interface, which may be located in the seating portion 111 and / or the base portion 112. The conductive connector 123 is conductively connected to the conductive interface. The conductive connector 123 may extend from the first connector 12 through the first mounting bracket 13 and / or the second mounting bracket 14 into the seat body 11 and communicate with the conductive interface located in the seating portion 111 and / or the base portion 112. The conductive connector 123 may be a wire disposed within the first mounting bracket 13 and / or the second mounting bracket 14 and the seat body 11.

[0045] It should be noted that the first connector 12 may include a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The slot 121 is provided at the first end, and the conductive connector 123 can extend from the second end toward the seat body 11. By allowing the conductive connector 123 to extend from the second end, it is easier for the conductive connector 123 to enter the seat body 11, thereby improving assembly convenience and reducing the space occupied by the conductive connector 123 during extension and assembly.

[0046] In the above embodiments, the conductive interfaces located in the seating portion 111 and / or the base portion 112 can be used to make conductive connections with the electronic control function module disposed on the seat body 11 to supply power to the electronic control function module so that the electronic control module can realize the corresponding electronic control function.

[0047] It should be noted that the first connector 12 and the second connector 22 can be made of conductive materials such as metal to facilitate power conduction.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the power receiving end 15 may include a first power plug structure 151 disposed on the seat body 11, and the power output end 23 may include a second power plug structure 231 disposed on the mounting part 21. When the seat body 11 and the mounting part 21 are assembled, the first power plug structure 151 and the second power plug structure 231 are plugged into each other. For example, the first power plug structure 151 may be a power plug disposed on the seat body 11, and the second power plug structure 231 may be a power socket disposed on the mounting part 21. When the seat body 11 and the mounting part 21 are assembled, the power plug and the power socket are plugged into each other.

[0049] In the above embodiments, the first power plug structure 151 can be movably assembled to the seat body 11 and can be linked to the fixed connection of the first connector 12 and the second connector 22, so that the first power plug structure 151 and the second power plug structure 231 can be plugged in and engaged with each other as the first connector 12 and the second connector 22 are fixedly connected. For example, the first power plug structure 151 includes a pop-out state and a retracted state. When the first connector 12 and the second connector 22 are fixedly connected, the first power plug structure 151 pops out relative to the outer surface of the seat body 11 and can be plugged in and engaged with the second power plug structure 231. When the first connector 12 and the second connector 22 are separated, the first power plug structure 151 retracts into the seat body 11 or is flush with the outer surface of the seat body 11, so as to switch to the retracted state, so as to facilitate the storage of the first power plug structure 151 and improve the external aesthetics of the seat body 11.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the power receiving end 15 may include a wireless charging power supply 152 disposed on the seat body 11, and the power output end 23 includes a wireless charging module 232 disposed on the mounting part 21. When the seat body 11 and the mounting part 21 are assembled and fitted together, the wireless charging power supply 152 and the wireless charging module 232 are aligned and fitted together. The wireless charging power supply 152 may be disposed on the back of the base part 112 of the seat body 11, so that the alignment and fitting of the wireless charging power supply 152 and the wireless charging module 232 can be achieved when the seat body 11 and the mounting part 21 are assembled.

[0051] This disclosure further proposes a vehicle, which includes a mounting section 21, a power module and the aforementioned child seat 1. The mounting section 21 is provided with a power output terminal 23 that is electrically connected to the power module. The child seat 1 is assembled and fitted with the mounting section 21. The power receiving terminal 15 is positioned corresponding to and electrically connected to the power output terminal 23.

[0052] Because the power receiving end 15 located on the seat body 11 corresponds to and is electrically connected to the power output end 23 of the vehicle mounting part 21, and the power output end 23 is electrically connected to the power module, when the seat body 11 is assembled on the mounting part 21, the power output end 23 is electrically connected to the power receiving end 15 to conduct power into the seat body 11. This eliminates the need for additional conductive lines to enter the seat body 11 within the vehicle's passenger space, simplifying the conductive lines of the child seat 1 and improving the vehicle's space utilization. It also avoids damage to the power module or the electrically controlled functional modules on the seat body 11 that require power due to misconnection of external conductive lines.

[0053] In some embodiments, the vehicle may be a car, a trolley, etc. When the vehicle is a car, the mounting part 21 may be a car seat, and the second connector 22 may be a connecting rod provided on the car seat. When the first connector 12 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod at the car seat, the seat body 11 can be fixedly installed, and the first connector 12 and the second connector 22 can be electrically connected.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the vehicle may be equipped with a power switch corresponding to the position of the first connector 12. The power switch is connected to the power module to control the conduction or disconnection of the conductive line between the second connector 22 and the power module.

[0055] Specifically, when the first connector 12 includes a slot 121 and a locking structure 122, and the second connector 22 includes a hook 221, the power switch can correspond to the position of the locking structure 122. When the hook 221 engages with the slot 121, the locking structure 122 touches or presses against the power opening, thus connecting the conductive line between the second connector 22 and the power module. When the hook 221 disengages from the slot 121, the locking structure 122 separates from the power module, thus disconnecting the conductive line between the second connector 22 and the power module.

[0056] Other embodiments of this disclosure will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the technical solutions disclosed herein. This disclosure is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this disclosure that follow the general principles of this disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.
