Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of infant and toddler products technology, and more specifically, to a high chair with an ergonomic footrest. Background Technology

[0002] In real life, infants and toddlers are usually placed in high chairs to make it easier for parents to care for them. When infants and toddlers are in high chairs, their feet are placed on footrests, and the height of the footrests can be adjusted to accommodate infants and toddlers with different leg lengths. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a high chair with an ergonomic footrest. The high chair includes a seat, legs, a backrest, and a footrest. The legs are connected to the bottom of the seat. The backrest is connected to the front side of the bottom of the seat and has several locking holes along its height that penetrate the front and rear sides of the backrest. The footrest includes a pedal part, an abutment part, and a locking part. The rear side of the pedal part protrudes upward to form the abutment part, and the pedal part extends backward to form the locking part. The locking part passes through any locking hole and then bends upward. After the locking part passes through any locking hole, the abutment part and the locking part respectively clamp the front and rear sides of the backrest, and the abutment part completely covers the gap between the outer surface of the locking part and the hole wall of the corresponding locking hole.

[0004] The high chair has a seat, legs, a leg rest, and a footrest. Infants sit on the seat, with the leg rest connected to the bottom front of the seat. The infant's legs rest on the leg rest, which has multiple locking holes along its height. The footrest passes through these holes, allowing the infant's feet to step on it. Since infants' leg lengths vary, the footrest can be positioned at different heights through the locking holes. One end of each leg connects to the seat, while the other end contacts the ground. The footrest has a foot pedal, a stop, and a locking mechanism. The foot pedal is for the infant to step on, the stop is located within the foot pedal, and the locking mechanism connects to the foot pedal and passes through locking holes. After passing through the locking holes, the locking mechanism and the stop clamp the front and back sides of the leg rest, respectively. Due to the infant's stepping, the locking mechanism deforms, creating a gap between the portion of the locking mechanism inside the locking hole and the top wall of the hole. The stop abuts against the leg rest, concealing this gap. The foot pedal can be height adjusted on the leg rest. When the locking part is inserted into different locking holes, the distance between the foot pedal and the infant is different. Adjusting the distance between the foot pedal and the infant makes it suitable for infants with different leg lengths.

[0005] In some embodiments, the distance between the abutment and the clamping section is less than the thickness between the front and rear sides of the leg rest. Thus, when the foot pedal is connected to the leg rest, the abutment and the clamping section clamp the leg rest from the front and rear sides. This arrangement allows the foot pedal to be more securely connected to the leg rest.

[0006] In some embodiments, the latching portion includes a through section for passing through the latching hole and a clamping section located at the end of the through section away from the pedal portion, wherein the upper surface of the through section and the surface of the clamping section near the leg rest plate have a continuous surface structure.

[0007] The abutting part and the through section are located on the same side of the pedal part. The clamping section, the through section, and the abutting part define a slot on one side of the pedal part. The surface structure and the surface of the abutting part near the leg plate together form the groove wall of the slot. When the foot pedal is installed on the leg plate, the leg plate part is embedded in the slot. At this time, the through section is located in the locking hole. The surface structure abuts against the hole wall of the locking hole and the rear surface of the leg plate. The abutting part abuts against the front side of the leg plate so that the leg plate abuts against the locking part and the abutting part more tightly.

[0008] In some embodiments, after the snap-fit ​​portion passes through any snap-fit ​​hole, the surface structure is close to the top wall of the snap-fit ​​hole and the rear side of the leg plate, and the surface of the snap-fit ​​portion away from the surface structure has outwardly protruding reinforcing ribs forming an L-shape.

[0009] The L-shaped reinforcing rib extends from the foot pedal to the clamping section. The reinforcing rib can increase the connection strength between the pedal, the abutment, the through section and the clamping section, so that the foot pedal will not break when infants and young children step on it.

[0010] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​hole is elongated, the length direction of the snap-fit ​​hole is consistent with the left and right direction of the leg plate, and several snap-fit ​​holes are arranged in parallel; the snap-fit ​​part and the snap-fit ​​hole structure are matched, and there are multiple reinforcing ribs, which are arranged along the left and right direction of the snap-fit ​​part.

[0011] Several locking holes are arranged in parallel, with their length direction aligned with the left-right direction of the leg rest. This parallel arrangement ensures that the foot pedal is horizontal when mounted on the leg rest. Multiple reinforcing ribs are arranged along the left-right direction of the locking section. This design strengthens the connection between the foot pedal and the locking section. The position and shape of the reinforcing ribs allow the foot pedal to withstand greater vertical pedaling force and deformation.

[0012] In some embodiments, the outer edge of the L-shaped reinforcing rib has a rounded chamfer. The rounded chamfer on the outer edge of the reinforcing rib facilitates the installation of the snap-fit ​​portion.

[0013] In some embodiments, the thickness of the through section corresponds to the height of the snap-fit ​​hole, and the upper surface of the through section protrudes upward to form a connecting rib, which connects the abutment portion and the through section.

[0014] When the foot pedal is installed onto the leg rest, the through section is located inside the locking hole. If the thickness of the through section is greater than or equal to the height of the locking hole, the through section cannot enter the locking hole. Therefore, the thickness of the through section must be less than the height of the locking hole to facilitate installation. The connecting rib ensures a tighter contact between the through section and the inner wall of the locking hole when the foot pedal is installed onto the leg rest. The connecting rib also strengthens the connection between the contact part and the through section, preventing gaps from forming between the contact part and the front of the leg rest when the infant steps on the pedal, which could pinch the infant's legs. It also prevents the foot pedal from breaking when the infant steps on it.

[0015] In some embodiments, there are multiple connecting ribs, which are arranged on the snap-fit ​​portion in the left-right direction.

[0016] Multiple connecting ribs can strengthen the connection between the abutment and the through section. The multiple connecting ribs are arranged in sequence on the through section, so that when the infant steps on the foot pedal, the abutment and the through section are subjected to more even force, and the gap between the abutment and the front side of the leg plate is smaller, which prevents the gap between the abutment and the leg plate from increasing during the deformation of the foot pedal due to the stepping force.

[0017] In some embodiments, the height of the connecting rib gradually decreases from the abutment portion to the clamping portion.

[0018] When the through section is located inside the snap-fit ​​hole, multiple connecting ribs can make the through section abut against the hole wall of the snap-fit ​​hole more tightly.

[0019] In some embodiments, the width of the abutment portion in the left-right direction is greater than the width of the corresponding snap-fit ​​hole in the left-right direction.

[0020] When the foot pedal is installed onto the leg rest, the through section is located inside the snap-fit ​​hole, and the abutting part abuts against the front side of the leg rest. The width of the abutting part is greater than the width of the corresponding snap-fit ​​hole, so that when the foot pedal deforms, the abutting part can completely cover the gap between the side of the through section and the side wall of the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0021] In some embodiments, the foot pedal further includes a plurality of blocking members disposed on the leg rest plate. The blocking members are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the snap-fit ​​holes, and along the height direction of the leg rest plate, the blocking members are higher than the corresponding snap-fit ​​holes, so as to block the gap between the abutting part and the leg rest plate after the snap-fit ​​part passes through the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0022] When the foot pedal is installed on the leg rest, the locking part will deform due to the baby stepping on it. After the locking part deforms, a gap will be created between the locking part and the leg rest. When a gap appears between the abutting part and the leg rest, the cover can cover the gap between the abutting part and the leg rest to avoid injury to the baby.

[0023] In some embodiments, the pedal portion has a cavity, and the foot pedal includes a support member disposed within the cavity and connected to the inner wall of the cavity. The support member is used to improve the strength of the pedal portion.

[0024] The pedal section has a cavity to reduce its weight and prevent excessive deformation of the locking part when the infant is not stepping on the pedal section. At the same time, it can also reduce the manufacturing cost of the pedal section. The support is used to strengthen the pedal section. The support is set in the cavity and connected to the inner wall of the cavity.

[0025] In some embodiments, the leg rest has multiple adjustment slots, each corresponding to a snap-fit ​​hole. Along the height direction of the leg rest, the adjustment slots are lower than the corresponding snap-fit ​​holes. The foot pedal has a cavity. The foot pedal also includes two fasteners and an elastic member. The two fasteners are disposed in the cavity, and each fastener has a fastening portion at one end for engaging with the adjustment slot. The other end of the fastener has an adjustment portion that extends out of the cavity. The elastic member is disposed in the cavity and located between the two fasteners, and is connected to the two fasteners.

[0026] The leg rest has multiple adjustment slots along its height. These slots are adjacent to and correspond to the locking holes, with the same number of slots as the locking holes. The adjustment slots are positioned lower on the leg rest than the corresponding locking holes. A fastening element passes through the inner wall of the footrest cavity. The fastening element has a fastening portion and an adjusting portion. The fastening portion is located within the adjustment slot and abuts against the slot wall, while the adjusting portion extends out of the cavity. The user can adjust the position of the fastening portion within the adjustment slot by pressing the adjusting portion. An elastic element is used to adjust the distance between the two fastening elements. This elastic element is located within the cavity between the two fastening elements, and the two fastening elements are connected to both ends of the elastic element. The combination of the two fastening elements and the elastic element ensures that the footrest is more securely mounted on the leg rest, preventing it from detaching even under greater pressure.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0035] In the relevant technical field, the footrest of an infant high chair can be height adjusted, but the connection between the footrest and the leg rest of the high chair is usually not stable. The footrest may detach from the leg rest. When the footrest is deformed under force, a gap will be created between the footrest and the leg rest. This gap may trap the infant's feet or clothing, which may cause danger to the infant.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1-3This application provides a high chair 100 with an ergonomic footrest 40. The high chair 100 includes a seat 10, chair legs 20, a leg rest 30, and a footrest 40. The chair legs 20 are connected to the bottom of the seat 10; the leg rest 30 is connected to the front side of the bottom of the seat 10, and the leg rest 30 has a plurality of locking holes 30A extending through the front and rear sides of the leg rest 30 along the height direction; the footrest 40 includes a footrest part 41 and an abutment part 4. 2 and the locking part 43, the rear side of the pedal part 41 protrudes upward to form the abutment part 42, the pedal part 41 extends backward to form the locking part 43, the locking part 43 passes through any locking hole 30A and then bends upward; after the locking part 43 passes through any locking hole 30A, the abutment part 42 and the locking part 43 respectively clamp the front and rear sides of the leg plate 30, and the abutment part 42 completely covers the gap B between the outer surface of the locking part 43 and the hole wall of the corresponding locking hole 30A.

[0037] The high chair 100 is used to support infants and toddlers. The caregiver can adjust the high chair 100 to the required height to make it easier to take care of the infants and toddlers. The footrest 40 of the high chair 100 can also be adjusted in height on the leg rest 30. The footrest 40 can be adjusted to a suitable height according to the height and leg length of the infants and toddlers, so that the infants and toddlers can step on the footrest 40 more easily and comfortably.

[0038] Infants and toddlers can sit in the seat 10. In this embodiment, the size of the space in the seat 10 for accommodating infants and toddlers is adjustable to accommodate infants and toddlers of different sizes. The seat 10 is detachable from the chair legs 20 to facilitate cleaning of the seat 10.

[0039] The chair legs 20 are used to support the seat 10 so that the seat 10 can be placed stably on the ground. One end of the chair legs 20 is connected to the bottom of the seat 10, and the other end of the chair legs 20 is in contact with the ground. In this embodiment, the height of the chair legs 20 is adjustable.

[0040] The high chair 100 is equipped with a leg rest 30 for infants and toddlers to rest their legs. When an infant or toddler sits on the high chair 100, their legs can rest on the leg rest 30, which can make the infant or toddler's legs more relaxed.

[0041] The footrest 40 includes a footrest 41 for placing the infant's feet. When the infant sits on the high chair 100, the infant's feet can step on the footrest 41. The surface of the footrest 41 that contacts the infant's feet can be set as a curved surface, which better conforms to the curve of the foot. This setting makes it more comfortable for the infant to step on the footrest 41. The footrest 41 can be made of non-metallic material to reduce the weight of the footrest 40 and prevent the footrest 41 from being too heavy and inconvenient to adjust the height.

[0042] The abutment portion 42 is disposed on the rear side of the pedal portion 41 and extends upward from the pedal portion 41. When the foot pedal 40 is installed in the snap-fit ​​hole 30A of the leg rest plate 30, the abutment portion 42 abuts against the front side of the leg rest plate 30. In this embodiment, the abutment portion 42 can be made of a non-metallic material to reduce the weight of the foot pedal 40. The abutment portion 42 and the pedal portion 41 can be integrally formed to reduce processing steps. The integral forming of the abutment portion 42 and the pedal portion 41 can also enhance the overall stability of the foot pedal 40.

[0043] The engaging portion 43 extends rearward from the footrest portion 41. When the footrest 40 is mounted on the leg rest 30, the engaging portion 43 passes through one of the engaging holes 30A, positioning the footrest portion 41 at the infant's foot. In one specific embodiment, one end of the engaging portion 43 is connected to the footrest portion 41, and the other end passes through the engaging hole 30A and bends towards the seat portion 10. After the engaging portion 43 passes through the engaging hole 30A, the engaging portion 43 and the abutment portion 42 together clamp the leg rest 30, with the abutment portion 42 completely covering the gap between the outer surface of the engaging portion 43 and the wall of the corresponding engaging hole 30A. In this embodiment, the engaging portion 43 can be made of a non-metallic material to reduce the weight of the footrest 40. The engaging portion 43 and the footrest portion 41 can be integrally formed to reduce processing steps, and the integral forming of the engaging portion 43 and the footrest portion 41 also enhances the overall stability of the footrest 40.

[0044] In this embodiment, the high chair 100 has a seat 10, legs 20, a leg rest 30, and a footrest 40. An infant sits on the seat 10, and the leg rest 30 is connected to the bottom front side of the seat 10. The infant's legs rest on the leg rest 30. The leg rest 30 has multiple locking holes 30A along its height direction that penetrate the front and rear sides of the leg rest 30. The footrest 40 can be inserted into different locking holes 30A to accommodate infants with different leg lengths. The foot pedal 40 has a pedal part 41, an abutment part 42, and a locking part 43. The pedal part 41 is for infants and young children to step on. The abutment part 42 is disposed on the pedal part 41. The locking part 43 is connected to the pedal part 41 and passes through the locking hole 30A. After the locking part 43 passes through the locking hole 30A, the locking part 43 and the abutment part 42 respectively clamp the front and rear sides of the leg rest 30. When the infant or young child steps on it, the locking part 43 will deform. A gap B will be generated between the part of the locking part 43 located inside the locking hole 30A and the top wall of the locking hole 30A. The abutment part 42 completely covers the gap B between the outer surface of the locking part 43 and the corresponding wall of the locking hole 30A.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, after the snap-fit ​​portion 43 passes through the snap-fit ​​hole 30A, the top end 421 of the abutment portion 42 is higher than the height of the corresponding snap-fit ​​hole 30A, so that the abutment portion 42 blocks the gap B between the top hole wall of the corresponding snap-fit ​​hole 30A and the snap-fit ​​portion 43.

[0046] When an infant steps on the pedal part 41, the locking part 43 will deform and bend towards the ground. At this time, a gap will be generated between the top hole wall of the locking hole 30A and the locking part 43. The height of the abutting part 42 is greater than the gap B, which can cover the gap B and prevent the infant's feet from being pinched or the infant's clothes from being pinched.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2-3 In some embodiments, the latching portion 43 includes a through section 431 for passing through the latching hole 30A and a clamping section 432 located at the end of the through section 431 away from the pedal portion 41. The upper surface of the through section 431 and the surface of the clamping section 432 near the leg rest plate 30 have a continuous surface structure C.

[0048] The latching part 43 includes a through section 431 and a clamping section 432. One end of the through section 431 is connected to the pedal part 41. The clamping section 432 is connected to the end of the through section 431 away from the pedal part 41. The through section 431, the clamping section 432 and the abutment part 42 together define a latching groove D. The leg rest 30 is partially embedded in the latching groove D so that the abutment part 42 and the clamping section 432 abut against the front and rear sides of the leg rest 30 respectively. The upper surface of the through section 431 and the surface of the clamping section 432 near the leg plate 30 form a continuous surface structure C. When the snap-fit ​​part 43 passes through any snap-fit ​​hole 30A, the abutting part 42 abuts against the front surface of the leg plate 30, the through section 431 is located inside the snap-fit ​​hole 30A, and the clamping section 432 abuts against the rear surface of the leg plate 30. That is, the surface structure C abuts against the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 30A and the rear side of the leg plate 30, so that the leg plate 30 abuts against the snap-fit ​​part 43 and the abutting part 42 more tightly. The through section 431 and the clamping section 432 can be integrally formed to reduce processing steps.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the distance between the abutment portion 42 and the clamping section 432 is less than the thickness between the front and rear sides of the leg rest plate 30. Thus, when the foot pedal 40 is connected to the leg rest plate 30, the abutment portion 42 and the clamping section 432 clamp the leg rest plate 30 from both the front and rear sides. This arrangement allows the foot pedal 40 to be more securely connected to the leg rest plate 30. The clamping section 432, the through section 431, and the abutment portion 42 together define the slot D. The surface structure C and the surface of the abutment portion 42 near the leg rest plate 30 together form the groove wall of the slot D. When the foot pedal 40 passes through the locking hole 30A, that is, when the leg rest plate 30 is partially embedded in the slot D, the abutment portion 42 and the clamping section 432 clamp the leg rest plate 30 from both the front and rear sides, allowing the foot pedal 40 to be securely connected to the leg rest plate 30 and preventing it from easily falling off.

[0050] When installing the foot pedal 40 onto the leg rest 30, first place the pedal part 41 vertically, insert the clamping section 432 into the snap-fit ​​hole 30A, and then rotate the pedal part 41 around the through section 431 toward the ground until the through section 431 is completely inside the snap-fit ​​hole 30A, and the abutting part 42 and the clamping section 432 abut against the front and rear surfaces of the leg rest 30 respectively.

[0051] Similarly, when removing the foot pedal 40 from the leg rest 30, first rotate the pedal part 41 around the connecting section 431 in a direction away from the ground until the pedal part 41 is in a vertical state, so that the connecting section 431 and the clamping section 432 leave the locking hole 30A one after the other, and then the foot pedal 40 can be removed.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 2-3 In some embodiments, after the snap-fit ​​portion 43 passes through any snap-fit ​​hole 30A, the surface structure C is close to the top wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 30A and the rear side of the leg plate 30, and the surface of the snap-fit ​​portion 43 away from the surface structure C has an outwardly protruding L-shaped reinforcing rib 433.

[0053] The reinforcing rib 433 connects the pedal part 41, the through section 431 and the clamping section 432, and extends from the pedal part 41 toward the clamping section 432. The reinforcing rib 433 is provided on the surface of the snap-fit ​​part 43 away from the surface structure C, that is, the reinforcing rib 433 is provided outside the snap-fit ​​groove D. The reinforcing rib 433 is used to strengthen the connection strength between the pedal part 41 and the through section 431 and the connection strength between the through section 431 and the clamping section 432.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1-3 In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​hole 30A is elongated, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the length direction of the snap-fit ​​hole 30A is consistent with the left and right direction of the leg plate 30, and several snap-fit ​​holes 30A are arranged in parallel; the snap-fit ​​part 43 is structurally matched with the snap-fit ​​hole 30A, and there are multiple reinforcing ribs 433, which are arranged on the snap-fit ​​part 43 along the left and right direction of the snap-fit ​​part 43.

[0055] Several locking holes 30A are arranged in parallel along the height direction of the leg rest 30. The locking holes 30A are elongated. When the foot pedal 40 is installed on the leg rest 30, the locking part 43 engages with the locking holes 30A. When an infant steps on the foot pedal 41, the foot pedal 41 is subjected to a force toward the ground, and the locking part 43 will deform. Multiple reinforcing ribs 433 are provided on the surface of the locking part 43 away from the structure C. The multiple reinforcing ribs 433 are arranged along the left and right direction of the locking part 43. This arrangement can enhance the connection strength of the foot pedal 41 and the locking part 43 to support the infant's stepping force toward the ground.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 3In some embodiments, the outer edge of the L-shaped reinforcing rib 433 has an arc-shaped chamfer. When the foot pedal 40 is installed into the snap-fit ​​hole 30A, the clamping section 432 and the through section 431 sequentially enter the snap-fit ​​hole 30A. The surfaces of the clamping section 432 and the through section 431 facing away from the structure C abut against the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 30A. The reinforcing rib 433 is located on the surface of the snap-fit ​​part 43 facing away from the structure C. The outer edge of the reinforcing rib 433 is set with an arc-shaped chamfer to facilitate the installation of the snap-fit ​​part 43.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 2-3 In some embodiments, the thickness of the through section 431 corresponds to the height of the snap hole 30A, and the upper surface of the through section 431 protrudes upward to form a connecting rib 4311, which connects the abutment portion 42 and the through section 431.

[0058] When the foot pedal 40 is installed onto the leg rest 30, the through section 431 is located inside the snap-fit ​​hole 30A. If the thickness of the through section 431 is greater than or equal to the height of the snap-fit ​​hole 30A, the through section 431 cannot enter the snap-fit ​​hole 30A. The thickness of the clamping section 432 must also be less than the height of the snap-fit ​​hole 30A to ensure that the clamping section 432 and the through section 431 can pass smoothly through the snap-fit ​​hole 30A when the foot pedal 40 is installed.

[0059] The connecting rib 4311 is disposed between the abutting part 42 and the through section 431 and is located in the slot D. The connecting rib 4311 can make the through section 431 and the inner wall of the snap hole 30A more tightly abutted when the foot pedal 40 is installed on the leg rest 30. The connecting rib 4311 can enhance the connection strength between the abutting part 42 and the through section 431, prevent the gap between the abutting part 42 and the front side of the leg rest 30 when the infant steps on the foot pedal part 41, so as to prevent the infant's legs from being pinched. It can also prevent the foot pedal 40 from breaking when the infant steps on the foot pedal part 41.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, there are multiple connecting ribs 4311, which are arranged on the through section 431 in the left-right direction.

[0061] The connecting ribs 4311 are located on the upper surface of the through section 431. Multiple connecting ribs 4311 can strengthen the connection between the abutment part 42 and the through section 431, making the gap between the abutment part 42 and the front side of the leg rest 30 smaller when the foot pedal 41 is subjected to force. Multiple connecting ribs 4311 are arranged sequentially on the through section 431, so that the force on the abutment part 42 and the through section 431 is more even when the infant steps on the foot pedal 41.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the height of the connecting rib 4311 gradually decreases from the abutment portion 42 to the clamping portion 432.

[0063] When the through section 431 is located inside the snap-fit ​​hole 30A, multiple connecting ribs 4311 are located on the through section 431, which can reduce the space between the through section 4311 and the wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 30A. The multiple connecting ribs 4311 can make the through section 431 and the wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 30A abut more tightly. When the foot pedal 40 is installed on the leg rest plate 30, the pedal part 41 rotates around the through section 431 towards the ground. Since the height of the connecting ribs 4311 gradually decreases from the abutment part 42 to the through section 431, the through section 431 abuts more and more tightly with the wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 30A during the rotation process, until the abutment part 42 and the snap-fit ​​part 43 are interference-fitted with the pedal part 10. At this time, the multiple connecting ribs 4311 are also interference-fitted with the wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 30A, thereby increasing the connection stability between the foot pedal 40 and the leg rest plate 30.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 3 In some specific embodiments, the side of the through section 431 protrudes outward to form a connecting part 4312. The connecting part 4312 connects the abutment part 42 and the through section 431 to strengthen the connection strength between the through section 431 and the abutment part 42. When the foot pedal 40 is installed on the leg rest 30, the connecting part 4312 is located between the side of the through section 431 and the side wall of the snap hole 30A. The connecting part 4312 can prevent the through section 431 from wobbling left and right in the snap hole 30A. There can be two connecting parts 4312, which are located on the two sides of the through section 431 respectively. The provision of multiple reinforcing ribs 433, multiple connecting ribs 4311 and two connecting parts 4312 can enhance the overall stability of the foot pedal 40 and improve the stability of the connection between the foot pedal 40 and the leg rest 30.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the width of the abutment portion 42 in the left-right direction is greater than the width of the corresponding snap-fit ​​hole 30A in the left-right direction.

[0066] When the foot pedal 40 is installed onto the leg rest 30, the through section 431 is located inside the snap-fit ​​hole 30A, and the abutting part 42 abuts against the front side of the leg rest 30. The width of the abutting part 42 is greater than the width of the corresponding snap-fit ​​hole 30A, so that when the foot pedal 40 deforms, the abutting part 42 can completely cover the gap between the outer surfaces on both sides of the through section 431 and the side wall of the snap-fit ​​hole 30A.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 3-4In some embodiments, the foot pedal 40 also includes a plurality of blocking members 44, which are disposed on the leg rest plate 30. The blocking members 44 are disposed one-to-one with the snap-fit ​​holes 30A, and along the height direction of the leg rest plate 30, the blocking members 44 are higher than the corresponding snap-fit ​​holes 30A, so as to block the gap between the abutting part 42 and the leg rest plate 30 after the snap-fit ​​part 43 passes through the snap-fit ​​hole 30A.

[0068] When an infant steps on the foot pedal 41, the locking part 43 will move towards the ground due to deformation. At this time, a gap will appear between the abutment part 42 and the leg rest 30. This gap may trap the infant's leg or clothing. The number of blocking members 44 is the same as that of the locking holes 30A. The blocking members 44 are arranged adjacent to the locking holes 30A, and the blocking members 44 are positioned higher on the leg rest 30 than the locking holes 30A. One end of the blocking member 44 is connected to the leg rest 30, and the other end overlaps the surface of the abutment part 42 away from the leg rest 30. When a gap appears between the abutment part 42 and the leg rest 30, the blocking member 44 can cover the gap between the abutment part 42 and the leg rest 30 to avoid pinching the infant. In this embodiment, the connection between the shield 44 and the leg rest 30 can be a fixed connection. The shield 44 can be made of a flexible material so that the shield 44 can overlap the surface of the abutment portion 42 away from the leg rest 30.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the pedal portion 41 has a cavity E, and the foot pedal 40 includes a support member 45 disposed in the cavity E and connected to the inner wall of the cavity E. The support member 45 is used to improve the strength of the pedal portion 41 so that the pedal portion 41 can withstand greater pressure.

[0070] The pedal part 41 is provided with a cavity E. The presence of a cavity E in the pedal part 41 reduces the weight of the pedal part 41 and prevents the excessive weight of the pedal part 41 from causing deformation of the locking part 43 when the foot pedal 40 is installed on the leg rest 30. At the same time, reducing the weight of the pedal part 41 also reduces the manufacturing cost of the pedal part 41.

[0071] In one specific embodiment, one end of the support member 45 is connected to the upper inner wall of the cavity E, and the other end of the support member 45 is connected to the lower inner wall of the cavity E. The support member 45 enhances the strength of the pedal part 41 in the height direction. It is understood that the number of support members 45 can be set to multiple, and they can be set at any position on the inner wall of the cavity E.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 4-5In some embodiments, the leg rest 30 has multiple adjustment slots F, which are correspondingly arranged with the snap-fit ​​holes 30A. Along the height direction of the leg rest 30, the adjustment slots F are lower than the corresponding snap-fit ​​holes 30A. The pedal part 41 has a cavity E. The foot pedal 40 also includes two fastening members 46 and an elastic member 47. The two fastening members 46 are disposed in the cavity E, and each fastening member 46 has a fastening part 461 at one end, which is used to snap with the adjustment slot F. The other end of the fastening member 46 has an adjustment part 462, which extends out of the cavity E. The elastic member 47 is disposed in the cavity E and is located between the two fastening members 46 and connected to the two fastening members 46.

[0073] The leg rest plate 30 has multiple adjustment slots F along the height direction. The adjustment slots F are arranged adjacent to the snap-fit ​​holes 30A. The number of adjustment slots F and snap-fit ​​holes 30A is the same. The position of the adjustment slots F on the leg rest plate 30 is lower than the position of the corresponding snap-fit ​​holes 30A. That is, the adjustment slots F and the blocking members 44 are located on both sides of the height direction of the corresponding snap-fit ​​holes 30A. The opening of the adjustment slot F is smaller than the belly of the adjustment slot F, so that after the fastening part 461 extends into the belly of the adjustment slot F through the opening of the adjustment slot F, it can abut against the wall of the adjustment slot F to achieve snap-fit.

[0074] The fastener 46 is located in the cavity E and extends through the pedal part 41 at both ends. The two ends of the fastener 46 are the fastening part 461 and the adjusting part 462, respectively. The fastening part 461 is located in the adjusting groove F and abuts against the groove wall of the adjusting groove F. The adjusting part 462 extends out of the cavity E. The user can adjust the position of the fastening part 461 in the adjusting groove F by pressing the adjusting part 462.

[0075] The elastic element 47 is used to adjust the distance between the two fastening elements 46. The elastic element 47 is disposed in the cavity E and located between the two fastening elements 46. The two fastening elements 46 are respectively connected to the two ends of the elastic element 47. In this embodiment, the elastic element 47 can be set as a spring.

[0076] When the foot pedal 40 needs to be installed on the leg rest 30, a force can be applied to the adjusting portions 462 of the two fasteners 46 respectively. The two forces are opposite in direction. Since the elastic element 47 is located between the two fasteners 46, the elastic element 47 will be compressed under the action of the force. At this time, the distance between the fastening portions 461 of the two fasteners 46 is shortened. Then, the pedal part 41 is placed vertically so that the clamping section 432 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole 30A. Then, the pedal part 41 is rotated around the through section 431 towards the ground until the through section 431 is located in the snap-fit ​​hole 30A. The abutting part 42 and the clamping section 432 abut against the front and rear surfaces of the leg rest 30 respectively. At this time, the fastening portions 461 of the two fasteners 46 are located in the adjusting groove F. Finally, the adjusting portions 462 of the two fasteners 46 are released. Under the action of the elastic restoring force of the elastic element 47, the fastening portions 461 of the two fasteners 46 abut against the groove wall of the adjusting groove F to achieve fixation.

[0077] When it is necessary to remove the foot pedal 40 from the leg rest 30, the user applies two opposing forces to the adjusting parts 462 of the two fasteners 46 as described above. The fasteners 461 leave the groove wall of the adjusting groove F. Then, the pedal part 41 is rotated around the connecting section 431 in a direction away from the ground to a vertical state, so that the connecting section 431 and the clamping section 432 leave the locking hole 30A one after another, and the fasteners 461 also disengage from the adjusting groove F, and the foot pedal 40 can be removed.

[0078] The two fasteners 46 and the elastic element 47 allow the foot pedal 40 to be more securely mounted on the leg rest 30, preventing the pedal part 41 from falling off the leg rest 30 when it is under greater pressure.
