[0292] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the present disclosure is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, its specific embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings by way of example. However, the present disclosure should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein, but rather, the present disclosure will cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

[0293] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0294] A first aspect of the present disclosure provides a carrier, and specific embodiments thereof will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0295] First aspect First embodiment

[0296] Figures 1 to 3 The structure of a carrier 1000 provided according to the first embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure is shown, and the carrier 1000 may be, but is not limited to, a pet carrier. The carrier 1000 includes a container body 100 , a ceiling assembly 200 , and a protective cover 300 . Figure 4 and Figure 5 The structure of the housing body 100 and the ceiling assembly 200 installed together is shown, and the ceiling assembly 200 is a fully enclosed ceiling. Figure 6 The structure of the roof assembly 200 is shown in a deployed state. Figures 7 to 9 The structure of the housing body 100 is shown. Fig.10 and Fig.13 The structure of the protective cover 300 is shown.

[0297] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments, the container body 100 is, for example, a box-shaped structure, which defines a container space 113 for accommodating a pet. The container space 113 has a top opening 10 , and the pet can enter the container space 113 through the top opening 10 . Figures 7 to 9An exemplary structure of a housing body 100 is shown, and the housing body 100 includes, for example, a box body 110, a bracket device (also referred to as a "bracket assembly") 120, and a seat cloth 150. In some embodiments, the housing body 100 has, for example, a left-right symmetrical and a front-back symmetrical structure. It should be noted that the "seat cloth" here is not limited to cloth, and can be understood as a "covering", such as fabric, sponge, plastic, etc., and the present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0298] See also Fig. 9 The box body 110 includes, for example, a peripheral wall 112 and a bottom 111, and the peripheral wall 112 and the bottom 111 define a receiving space 113 and a top opening 10. In some embodiments, the box body 110 may be made of, for example, a foam material or other suitable materials.

[0299] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The support device 120 is used to support the box 110 so that the box 110 has sufficient structural strength. In some embodiments, the support device 120 defines a space for accommodating the box 110, and the support device 120 enhances the structural strength of the box 110 outside the box 110. The support device 120 can be a frame structure made of metal.

[0300] In some embodiments, the support device 120 includes, for example, a first support 121, a second support 122, and a third support 123. The first support 121 and the third support 123 are substantially parallel and have an annular structure. The first support 121 and the third support 123 are connected by the second support 122. The second support 122 can have a variety of implementations, as long as it can connect the first support 121 and the third support 123.

[0301] Depend on Fig. 9 It can be seen that in this embodiment, two second brackets 122 are arranged at intervals in the front-to-back direction, and each second bracket 122 is in a U-shaped structure and has a vertical section 1221 and a horizontal section 1222. The vertical section 1221 is connected to the first bracket 121, and the horizontal section 1222 extends in the left-right direction and is connected to the third bracket 123.

[0302] See also Figure 8When the box 110 is located in the space defined by the bracket device 120, the first bracket 121 is engaged with the outer surface of the peripheral wall 112 of the box 110, and the first bracket 121 is adjacent to the top opening 10. The vertical section 1221 of the second bracket 122 is engaged with the outer surface of the peripheral wall 112 of the box 110, and the horizontal section 1222 of the second bracket 122 is engaged with the outer surface of the bottom 111 of the box 110. The third bracket 123 is located below the box 110, and the third bracket 123 can be detachably connected to a card seat (not shown) on the cart, so that the carrier 1000 can be installed on the cart. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the bracket device 120 can also have other implementations and is not limited to the above description.

[0303] Depend on Fig. 9 It can be seen that the first bracket 121 and the third bracket 123 are, for example, rectangular or other suitable shapes. When the first bracket 121 and the third bracket 123 are rectangular, both include two relative long rods and two relative short rods. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, for the convenience of description, the extension direction of the long rod is referred to as the front-to-back direction (also referred to as the longitudinal direction), and the extension direction of the short rod is referred to as the left-to-right direction (also referred to as the lateral direction), and the arrows F and B are used to schematically indicate the "front" and "rear" directions in the figure, and the arrows L and R are used to schematically indicate the "left" and "right" directions. These directional definitions are only used to make the description of the embodiment of the present disclosure clearer, and are not used to improperly limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure. In general, when a pet is accommodated in the accommodating space 113, the forward direction corresponds to the head direction of the pet, for example, and the rear direction corresponds to the tail direction of the pet, for example; or the forward direction corresponds to the tail direction of the pet, for example, and the rear direction corresponds to the head direction of the pet, for example.

[0304] See also Figure 7 The seat cloth 150, for example, wraps the inner and outer surfaces of the box body 110, so that the container body 100 has a neat appearance. In some embodiments, when the seat cloth 150 is wrapped on the box body 110, the third bracket 123 can be exposed. The area of ​​the seat cloth 150 that is used to contact the pet may include a sponge interlayer or other structures with a buffering effect. Figure 8 and Fig. 9, a groove 1121 may be provided on the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110, and the vertical section 1221 of the second bracket 122 may be embedded in the groove 1121 without protruding relative to the surface of the peripheral wall 112, so that the seat cloth 150 is easy to fit with the box body 110 and the difficulty of cutting the seat cloth 150 can be reduced. In some embodiments, for example, a portion of the vertical section 1221 of the second bracket 122 may be embedded in the groove 1121, and a portion may protrude relative to the surface of the peripheral wall 112. In addition, for example, a wider armrest (the armrest is made of plastic, for example, not shown in the figure) may be installed on the first bracket 121, and the seat cloth 150 may also wrap the armrest.

[0305] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments, two first connecting members 41 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the accommodating body 100, and the two first connecting members 41 on the same side of the accommodating body 100 are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. Each first connecting member 41 may be, for example, an annular structure (such as a metal ring) located outside the seat cloth 150, and each first connecting member 41 may be connected to the seat cloth 150, for example, by a webbing 411. Of course, the connection method between each first connecting member 41 and the accommodating body 100 is not limited to the above examples. For example, in some embodiments not shown, two connecting columns (not shown in the figure) are respectively provided on the two long rods of the first bracket 121, and each connecting column has an end exposed from the seat cloth 150, and the end is used to connect to the first connecting member 41. The function of each first connecting member 41 will be described below.

[0306] See also Figures 4 to 6 The ceiling assembly 200 is installed on the accommodating body 100 and has an expanded state in which the top opening 10 is closed. The ceiling assembly 200 is used for shading, and can also play a role in preventing dust and mosquitoes and preventing foreign objects from entering the accommodating space 113. The bottom shape of the ceiling assembly 200 matches the shape of the top opening 10 of the accommodating body 100. In some embodiments, the bottom of the ceiling assembly 200 can be detachably connected to the top of the accommodating body 100 through a ceiling locking device 24, so that the ceiling assembly 200 can be detachably buckled at the top opening 10 of the accommodating body 100. In some embodiments, the ceiling locking device 24 can be, for example, a zipper, and the first chain 241 of the zipper (see Figure 6 ) is arranged around the bottom of the ceiling assembly 200, for example, the second chain 242 of the zipper (see Figure 7 ) is, for example, arranged around the top of the housing body 100, and the second chain 242 is, for example, connected to the seat cloth 150. Of course, in other embodiments, the ceiling locking device 24 can also have other implementations, such as buckles, Velcro, etc. When the ceiling assembly 200 is removed from the housing body 100, the ceiling assembly 200 can be folded for easy storage. Figure 4In some embodiments, a skirt 25 may be further provided at the bottom of the ceiling assembly 200 , and when the ceiling assembly 200 is in the unfolded state, the skirt 25 may cover the ceiling locking device 24 .

[0307] Continue to see Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the ceiling assembly 200 may include a plurality of U-shaped brackets 21 (also referred to as "U-shaped support rods" or "support rods") and a ceiling 22 connected to the U-shaped brackets 21. The ceiling 22 may include the above-mentioned skirt 25. When the ceiling assembly 200 is in the unfolded state, the two ends of the U-shaped bracket 21 correspond to the left and right sides of the accommodating body 100 respectively. The ceiling 22 is supported by the U-shaped bracket 21 and arches upward relative to the accommodating body 100. In some embodiments, the ceiling 22 may include a shielding area 221 and an observation area 222. See Figure 4 When the ceiling assembly 200 is in the unfolded state, one of the shielding area 221 and the observation area 222 is close to the front end of the accommodating body 100 (corresponding to the front part of the ceiling assembly 200 and the ceiling 22), and the other is close to the rear end of the accommodating body 100 (corresponding to the rear part of the ceiling assembly 200 and the ceiling 22). The shielding area 221 is made of, for example, opaque fabric and can block sunlight. The observation area 222 is made of, for example, translucent mesh fabric or transparent material, and the user can observe the internal situation of the accommodating body 100 through the observation area 222. When the observation area 222 is made of a transparent material (such as a plastic film), the observation area 222 can also be configured with a breathable structure.

[0308] See also Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the shielding area 221 of the ceiling 22 may include a plurality of shielding sheets 2211, and the junction of each two adjacent shielding sheets 2211 is connected to a U-shaped bracket 21. The observation area 222 may include a plurality of observation sheets 2221, and the junction of each two adjacent observation sheets 2221 is connected to a U-shaped bracket 21. The junction of the shielding sheets 2211 and the observation sheets 2221 adjacent to each other is connected to a U-shaped bracket 21. In some embodiments, the area of ​​the shielding area 221 is larger than the area of ​​the observation area 222, and a handle 23 may be provided on the shielding area 221, and the handle 23 is, for example, located at the top of the ceiling 22.

[0309] Continue to see Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the ceiling 22 may be provided with a ceiling opening 201 , and a sealing member 223 is provided at the ceiling opening 201 , and the sealing member 223 can close or open the ceiling opening 201 . Figure 4 and Figure 6In the embodiment, the ceiling opening 201 is closed by the sealing member 223, and the ceiling 22 is in the unfolded state. When the sealing member 223 opens the ceiling opening 201, a part of the ceiling 22 can be folded along the direction of the arrow T1, and another part of the ceiling 22 can be folded along the direction of the arrow T2, so that the ceiling opening 201 is expanded (that is, the accommodating space is exposed), so that the ceiling assembly 200 is switched to the open state. When the ceiling assembly 200 is in the open state, the user can place the pet into the accommodating space 113 through the ceiling opening 201, or take the pet out of the accommodating space 113, without removing the entire ceiling assembly 200 from the accommodating body 100.

[0310] See also Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the protective cover 300 is connected to the accommodating body 100, and the protective cover 300 is used to cover at least a part of the ceiling assembly 200 to protect the ceiling assembly 200 and prevent the ceiling assembly 200 in the unfolded state from being damaged when impacted. In other words, the protective cover 300 in this embodiment can also be referred to as a "protective device", or as an example or part of a "protective device". In some embodiments, the protective cover 300 can cover an area of ​​the ceiling assembly 200 with weak structural strength and poor impact resistance. For the ceiling, the structural strength of the shielding area 221 is generally higher than that of the observation area 222. Therefore, the protective cover 300 can, for example, cover the observation area 222 to improve the impact resistance of the observation area 222 and protect the observation area 222 from damage. It can be understood that a local area of ​​the observation area 222 may not be covered by the cover body 31 for air circulation. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the protective cover 300 can also be used to cover the shielding area 221 to improve the impact resistance of the shielding area 221.

[0311] Figure 3 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of the protective cover 300. The protective cover 300 may include a cover body 31 and two second connecting members 32. The cover body 31 has a shape that is narrow at both ends and wide in the middle. Figure 1In the use state shown, the cover body 31 is arched, and the two ends of the cover body 31 correspond to the left and right sides of the accommodating body 100. The cover body 31 may include at least one material layer. In some embodiments, the material layer of the cover body 31 may include, for example, an inner fabric layer and an outer fabric layer made of fabric, the inner fabric layer facing the ceiling assembly 200, and the outer fabric layer facing away from the ceiling assembly 200. A buffer material layer such as a sponge layer may be sandwiched between the inner fabric layer and the outer fabric layer. Of course, in some embodiments, the material layer of the cover body 31 may include a single-layer fabric layer made of fabric. Two second connectors 32 are provided at both ends of the cover body 31, one second connector 32 can be selectively detachably connected to one of the two first connectors 41 located on the left side of the accommodating body 100, and the other second connector 32 can be selectively detachably connected to one of the two first connectors 41 located on the right side of the accommodating body 100, so that the cover body 31 is laterally covered on the observation area 222 located at the front or rear of the ceiling assembly 200.

[0312] See also Fig.10 In some embodiments, each second connector 32 can be fixed to the opposite ends of the cover body 31 by a webbing 33, for example. The second connector 32 is, for example, a hook, which can be easily connected to the annular structure of the first connector 41. In some alternative embodiments, the webbing 33 is, for example, an elastic belt. When each second connector 32 is connected to the corresponding first connector 41, the elastic belt is tightened to press the cover body 31 against the ceiling assembly 200, so as to effectively enhance the impact resistance of the covered area of ​​the ceiling assembly 200. In addition, in some alternative embodiments, the number of the first connectors 41 provided on the left and right sides of the accommodating body 100 is not limited to two, and the number of the first connectors 41 can be one or more than two. When the number of the first connecting members 41 is two or more than two, even if the distances between the second connecting members 32 at both ends of the cover body 31 of different protective covers 300 are different, by selectively connecting each second connecting member 32 to multiple first connecting members 41, the cover body 31 can be fitted to the covered area of ​​the ceiling assembly 200, thereby improving the versatility of the container body 100 and the protective cover 300.

[0313] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Fig.10 and Fig.11, the shapes of the surfaces of the cover body 31 and the ceiling 22 that contact each other match. More specifically, taking the cover body 31 covering the observation area 222 as an example, the U-shaped bracket 21 between adjacent observation pieces 2221 of the observation area 222 protrudes relative to the observation piece 2221. The cover body 31 may be provided with a turning portion 312 at a position corresponding to the U-shaped bracket 21. When the protective cover 300 is connected to the accommodating body 100, the turning portion 312 and the U-shaped bracket 21 cooperate to effectively prevent the cover body 31 from sliding down relative to the ceiling assembly 200. In some embodiments, the cover body 31 may also include a skirt 35, which may be wrapped around the outside of the top opening 10 of the accommodating body 100 to assist in positioning the relative position of the cover body 31 and the ceiling 22.

[0314] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11 , the protective cover 300 (that is, the protective device) includes an anti-collision body 311. Specifically, in some embodiments, the lateral middle area of ​​the cover body 31 may be provided with an anti-collision body 311 (shown by dotted lines in the figure) to locally enhance the impact resistance (anti-collision protection performance) of the area of ​​the ceiling assembly 200 that is most susceptible to impact. The anti-collision body 311 may be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure, and the anti-collision body 311 may be connected to the surface of the cover body 31 facing the ceiling 22, or may be sandwiched between the outer fabric layer and the inner fabric layer of the cover body 31. When the anti-collision body 311 is a single-layer structure, it may be made of, for example, inert memory foam or other suitable materials. When the anti-collision body 311 is a multi-layer structure, it may be, for example, a combination of an EPP (expanded polypropylene) material layer, an EPS (expanded polystyrene) material layer and an EPE (expanded polyethylene, also known as pearl cotton) material layer, or a combination of an inert memory foam material layer and a PE (polyethylene) material layer, or a combination of other suitable material layers. Of course, in some embodiments, the anti-collision body 311 is not limited to being disposed in the transverse middle region of the cover body 31, and the entire region of the cover body 31 covering the ceiling assembly 200 may be provided with the anti-collision body 311. Fig.12 and Fig.13 In some embodiments, the entire skirt 35 or a lateral middle area thereof may also be provided with an anti-collision body 311 .

[0315] See also Figure 1In some embodiments, a connection structure 36 may be provided between the upper edge 316 of the cover body 31 of the protective cover 300 and the ceiling assembly 200, and the connection structure 36 may include, for example, a third connection member 361 and a fourth connection member 362. The third connection member 361 is connected to the ceiling assembly 200, for example, to the ceiling 22 or the U-shaped bracket 21. The fourth connection member 362 is connected to the upper edge 316 of the cover body 31. The third connection member 361 and the fourth connection member 362 are detachably connected, which can further prevent the cover body 31 from sliding down relative to the ceiling assembly 200. The third connection member 361 may be, for example, a metal ring or a cloth ring, and the fourth connection member 362 may be a hook or a cloth belt, which may be closed into a ring shape after being wrapped around the third connection member 361.

[0316] In some embodiments not shown, the carrier 1000 provided in the first embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure may also be modified as follows.

[0317] 1. In some embodiments, the box 110 containing the main body 100 may include a plastic shell and may not be provided with the bracket device 120, and the seat cloth 150 may not completely wrap the box 110 but only wrap a part of the box 110 (for example, the surface of the accommodating space 113). The box 110 may be provided with a hard handle, and the two ends of the handle are respectively pivotally connected to the middle of the two opposite long rods of the first bracket 121. In this case, the handle 23 may not be provided on the ceiling assembly 200. In addition, in some embodiments, the two ends of the shoulder strap not shown may be detachably connected to the idle first connecting member 41, and the shoulder strap may be hung on the shoulders of the user to facilitate the user to carry the carrier 1000 for activities.

[0318] 2. In some embodiments, the bottom of the ceiling assembly 200 is connected to the top of the accommodating body 100, for example, by sewing, so that the ceiling assembly 200 cannot be removed from the accommodating body 100. In some embodiments, the front and rear of the ceiling 22 may be provided with an observation area 222, and the shielding area 221 is located in the middle of the ceiling 22. At this time, two protective covers 300 may be configured to cover the observation areas 222 at the front and rear of the ceiling 22, respectively. It can be understood that the protective cover 300 can not only improve the impact resistance of the ceiling 22, but also play a role in sunshade. In some embodiments, the vehicle 1000 can be configured with two or more protective covers 300, and the protective cover 300 can not only cover the observation area 222, but also cover the shielding area 221, so as to improve the impact resistance of each covered area of ​​the ceiling assembly 200. In some embodiments, the shielding area 221 of the ceiling 22 may also be made of a light-transmitting mesh fabric or a transparent material, and the protective cover 300 may be made into a cover and cover the ceiling 22 .

[0319] 3. In some embodiments, the protective cover 300 can be detachably connected to the container body 100 and the ceiling assembly 200 at the same time, or the protective cover 300 can be connected only to the ceiling assembly 200. The protective cover 300 only needs to cover the area of ​​the ceiling assembly 200 where the structural strength is relatively weak and improve the impact resistance of the area. For example, in some embodiments, the ceiling assembly 200 can be provided with one or more first connectors 41, and the first connector 41 is, for example, a metal ring (such as a D-ring) arranged along the skirt 25, a whole Velcro or a plurality of snaps or other suitable structures, and the first connector 41 can be detached together with the ceiling assembly 200; the skirt 35 of the cover body 31 can be provided with one or more second connectors 32, and the second connector 32 can be a whole Velcro or a plurality of snaps or other suitable structures arranged along the skirt 35. The first connector 41 and the second connector 32 are detachably connected, so that the protective cover 300 is detachably connected to the ceiling assembly 200.

[0320] First aspect Second embodiment

[0321] Fig.14 The structure of a carrier 1000 provided in accordance with the second embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure is shown. The carrier 1000 is similar to the first embodiment described above, and includes a container body 100, a ceiling assembly 200, and a protective cover 300 not shown. This embodiment mainly modifies the structure of the container body 100 and the ceiling assembly 200. In the absence of conflict, the structure of the components in this embodiment and the connection relationship between the components can refer to the description of the first embodiment above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the first embodiment described above.

[0322] The carrier 1000 can be placed on a vehicle seat and can be fixed to the vehicle seat (not shown) by any suitable structure. It can be understood that when the carrier 1000 is placed on the vehicle seat, the front-to-back direction of the rectangular carrier 1000 can correspond to the left-to-right direction of the vehicle seat. Fig.14, the carrier 1000 may also be provided with a side impact protection structure (also referred to as a "protection device" or as an example or part of a "protection device"), the side impact protection structure, for example, includes at least one side impact protection block 5. When the side impact protection block 5 is in use (in this use state, the side impact protection block 5 can buffer impacts from the side, such as from a car door), the side impact protection block 5 corresponds to the side of the accommodating body 100. More specifically, a side impact protection block 5 may be provided in the middle position of at least one of the front and rear sides of the accommodating body 100. The side impact protection block 5 is used to mitigate the side impact, which is conducive to ensuring the side safety of the pet in the accommodating space 113. The side impact protection block 5 may be directly connected to the accommodating body 100, or it may be connected to the ceiling assembly 200. The side impact protection block 5 only needs to correspond to the side of the accommodating body 100 when in use and be able to transmit the lateral impact to the accommodating body 100. It can be understood that when the side impact protection block 5 is connected to the ceiling assembly 200, the side impact protection block 5 can be connected to the front and / or rear of the ceiling assembly 200. When the ceiling assembly 200 is in the unfolded state and connected to the container body 100, the side impact protection block 5 is located on the side of the container body 100 so as to play a side impact protection role.

[0323] See also Fig.14 , Fig.16 and Fig.18 In some embodiments, the plurality of U-shaped brackets 21 of the ceiling assembly 200 further include two ceiling frames (also referred to as pivoting sections) 211 fixed to the periphery of the ceiling 22. Fig.15 and Fig.16 The ends of the two ceiling frames 211 facing each other are respectively pivotally connected to the two ceiling locking devices 24, so that each ceiling frame 211 can rotate around the pivot point O1 relative to the ceiling locking device 24. Each ceiling locking device 24 is used to be detachably connected to the ceiling locking parts 124 on the left and right sides of the accommodating body 100.

[0324] Fig.16 and Fig.17An exemplary embodiment of a ceiling locking device 24 and a ceiling locking portion 124 is shown. The ceiling locking device 24 may include a locking member 243 and a shell (also referred to as a locking section) 245, and the locking member 243 is mounted on the shell 245. The two ceiling locking portions 124 are, for example, mounted on the first bracket 121, and more specifically, for example, mounted on the middle part of the long rod of the first bracket 121. The ceiling locking portion 124 has a groove 1240 for accommodating the locking member 243, and a matching locking member (not shown in the figure) may be provided in the groove 1240, and the locking member 243 may be engaged with the matching locking member to lock the relative position of the ceiling locking position 24 and the ceiling locking portion 124. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the seat cloth 150 may wrap the ceiling locking portion 124, and the seat cloth 150 may be provided with an opening at a position corresponding to the groove 1240.

[0325] A release piece may be provided on one of the ceiling locking device 24 and the ceiling locking portion 124, for releasing the engagement relationship between the locking member 243 and the matching lock piece. In some embodiments, the release piece may be provided on the ceiling locking device 24, and the release piece is operably connected to the locking member 243. In this embodiment, the release piece 125 is, for example, provided on the ceiling locking portion 124, and the release piece 125 is operably connected to the matching lock piece. When the ceiling assembly 200 needs to be removed from the accommodating body 100, the matching lock piece is driven by the release piece 125, so that the matching lock piece is disengaged from the locking member 243. In some embodiments, a segment adjustment structure may be provided between the end of each ceiling frame 211 and the shell 245, and the segment adjustment structure, for example, includes a wavy end face tooth, so that each ceiling frame 211 can be maintained at a different angle relative to the shell 245.

[0326] Combined with reference Fig.14 and Fig.15 When the ceiling assembly 200 is in the unfolded state, the two ceiling frames 211 are symmetrically buckled at the top opening 10 of the accommodating body 100, more specifically, they are sleeved outside the box body 110 and located above the first bracket 121 of the bracket device 120. Fig.18 When the ceiling assembly 200 needs to be opened to facilitate placing the pet into the accommodating space 113, any ceiling frame 211 can be flipped upward.

[0327] Combined with reference Fig.14 and Fig.18In some embodiments, the front and rear sides of the container body 100 are respectively provided with fifth connectors 114, and the front and rear parts of the ceiling 22 are provided with matching connectors 2335 corresponding to the fifth connectors 114, and the fifth connector 114 and the corresponding matching connectors 2335 are detachably connected. When the fifth connector 114 and the matching connector 2335 are connected, it is possible to prevent the ceiling frame 211 from accidentally flipping upward and causing the ceiling assembly 200 to accidentally open, thereby keeping the ceiling assembly 200 in the unfolded state. When the ceiling assembly 200 needs to be removed from the container body 100, the connection between the fifth connector 114 and the matching connector 2335 is released. In some embodiments, one of the fifth connector 114 and the matching connector 2335 can be a male connector, and the other can be a female connector. When the male connector and the female connector are connected, the ceiling assembly 200 remains in the unfolded state. The male connector and the female connector can be, but are not limited to, magnetic buckle assemblies and buckle assemblies that cooperate with each other. See. Fig.18 In some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 is attached to the matching connector 2335. In some alternative embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 can be attached to the fifth connector 114. In some embodiments, the matching connector 2335 can be connected to the ceiling 22 through a connecting belt 236, and the fifth connector 114 can be fixed to the seat cloth 150 or can be directly fixed to the box 110 and exposed by the seat cloth 150. Fig.14 When the mating connector 2335 is connected to the fifth connector 114 , the mating connector 2335 is located outside the fifth connector 114 , and the side impact protection block 5 can be disposed on the mating connector 2335 , protruding outward from the shell of the mating connector 2335 .

[0328] See also Fig.19 In some embodiments, the position of the side impact protection block 5 corresponds to the first bracket 121. Of course, in some embodiments, the position of the side impact protection block 5 may not correspond to the bracket device 120 but directly correspond to the box 110. In some embodiments, when the ceiling assembly 200 is in the unfolded state and the mating connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 are not connected, the skirt 25 may block the fifth connector 114. When it is necessary to connect the mating connector 2335 to the fifth connector 114, the skirt 25 can be moved to expose the fifth connector 114 so that the fifth connector 114 is connected to the mating connector 2335. In some embodiments, the position of the skirt 25 corresponding to the fifth connector 114 may be provided with a notch to expose the fifth connector 114. Of course, in some embodiments, the ceiling assembly 200 may not be provided with a skirt 25. See. Fig. 20 In some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 can be integrally formed with the mating connector 2335 .

[0329] See also Fig.21In some embodiments, the matching connector 2335 (for example, a male buckle in this example) can be directly connected to the ceiling 22 (for example, the skirt 25); the fifth connector 114 (for example, a female buckle in this example) can be connected to the accommodating body 100, and the fifth connector 114 can be connected to the seat cloth 150 of the accommodating body 100 or the box body 110 through a connecting belt 237. The side impact protection block 5 is arranged on the fifth connector 114. Fig.21 When the matching connector 2335 is connected to the fifth connector 114, the fifth connector 114 is located outside the matching connector 2335, and the side impact protection block 5 can be disposed on the fifth connector 114 and protrude outward from the shell of the fifth connector 114. Of course, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 can be integrally formed with the fifth connector 114.

[0330] First aspect third embodiment

[0331] Fig. 22 The structure of the carrier 1000 provided in the third embodiment according to the first aspect of the present disclosure is shown. This embodiment mainly modifies the bracket device 120 in the second embodiment. In the case of no conflict, the structure of the components in this embodiment and the connection relationship between the components can refer to the description of the second embodiment above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the second embodiment above.

[0332] See also Fig. 22 In some embodiments, the bracket device 120 is based on the bracket device 120 described in the second embodiment, and an additional second bracket 122 is added between the first bracket 121 and the third bracket 123. The additional second bracket 122, for example, includes a horizontal section (not shown in the figure) and a vertical section 1224 connected to each other. The horizontal section is connected to the short rod of the third bracket 123, that is, the horizontal section extends along the longitudinal direction (that is, the extension direction of the long rod), and the vertical section 1224 is connected to the short rod of the first bracket 121, specifically connected between the horizontal section and the short rod of the first bracket 121. The vertical section 1224 corresponds to the side of the box body 110. More specifically, a groove (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110, and the vertical section 1224 may be embedded in the groove without protruding relative to the surface of the peripheral wall 112. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the vertical section 1224 may be partially embedded in the groove, and partially protruding relative to the surface of the peripheral wall 112.

[0333] Continue to see Fig. 22 In some embodiments, the position of the side impact protection block 5 may correspond to the vertical section 1224 , so that the impact received by the side impact protection block 5 may be transferred to the vertical section 1224 .

[0334] Fourth embodiment of the first aspect

[0335] The first aspect of the present disclosure further provides a fourth embodiment which is not shown in the figure. This embodiment is a variation of the carrier 1000 provided in the second embodiment. More specifically, the side impact protection block 5 protruding outward from the housing of the mating connector 2335 or the housing of the fifth connector 114 in the second embodiment is omitted. In the absence of conflict, the structure of the components in this embodiment and the connection relationship between the components can refer to the description of the second embodiment above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the second embodiment.

[0336] In this embodiment, the fifth connector 114 can be fixed on the seat cloth 150 and directly correspond to the box body 110 (or the fifth connector 114 is directly fixed to the box body 110 and exposed by the seat cloth 150), so that the fifth connector 114 does not correspond to the bracket device 120. The fifth connector 114 and the matching connector 2335 can be magnetic buckle components. The matching connector 2335 can be connected to the ceiling assembly 200 (for example, the ceiling 22) through the connecting belt 236. After the matching connector 2335 is flipped down and connected to the fifth connector 114, the aforementioned protective cover 300 is covered on the ceiling assembly 200, and the protective cover 300 can cover the matching connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114.

[0337] In combination with the above, it can be understood that when the carrier 1000 is installed on the vehicle seat, the left or right side of the housing body 100 is against the vehicle seat, and the front or rear side of the housing body 100 faces the vehicle door. When the carrier 1000 installed on the vehicle seat is hit by a side collision (that is, when the front or rear side of the housing body 100 is impacted), the order of impact on the carrier 1000 is the protective cover 300, the magnetic buckle assembly (matching the connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114), and the box (for example, made of foam material) 110. In some embodiments, the protective cover 300 in use does not cover the magnetic buckle assembly. When the carrier 1000 installed on the vehicle seat is hit by a side collision, the order of impact on the carrier 1000 is the magnetic buckle assembly (matching the connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114), and the box (for example, made of foam material) 110. In this embodiment, the magnetic buckle assembly acts as a side collision protection block (side collision protection structure), and there is no need to set up an additional side collision protection block, which is conducive to reducing costs.

[0338] Of course, in some embodiments, the fifth connecting member 114 can be fixed on the seat cloth 150, and the fifth connecting member 114 corresponds to the bracket device 120, more specifically, for example, corresponds to the first bracket 121 (refer to Fig.19). The mating connector 2335 is connected to the roof assembly 200, and more specifically, the mating connector 2335 can be connected to the roof 22 via a connecting belt 236. The protective cover 300 can cover the mating connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 connected to each other. When the carrier 100 is installed on a vehicle seat and a side collision occurs, the carrier 1000 is impacted in the order of the protective cover 300, the magnetic buckle assembly (the mating connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114), and the bracket device 120.

[0339] Fifth embodiment of the first aspect

[0340] Fig.23 A three-dimensional diagram of a carrier 1000 provided according to the fifth embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure is shown, and the carrier 1000, for example, includes a container body 100 and a ceiling assembly 200. The carrier 1000 may be configured with the protective cover 300 in the above embodiment, or may not be configured with the protective cover 300. In the absence of conflict, the structures of the container body 100 and the ceiling assembly 200 of this embodiment can refer to the description in the above second embodiment, and the following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the above second embodiment.

[0341] See also Fig.23 , the fifth connecting member 114 is respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the accommodating body 100. The fifth connecting member 114 can be fixed on the seat cloth 150 or can be directly fixed on the box body 110 and exposed by the seat cloth 150. The ceiling assembly 200 is provided with matching connecting members 2335 corresponding to each fifth connecting member 114, and the matching connecting member 2335 is connected to the ceiling 22 of the ceiling assembly 200, for example, through a connecting belt 236. As described in the second embodiment, the fifth connecting member 114 and the matching connecting member 2335 are detachably connected. When the fifth connecting member 114 and the matching connecting member 2335 are connected, the ceiling frame 211 can be prevented from accidentally turning upward and causing the ceiling assembly 200 to be accidentally opened, thereby keeping the ceiling assembly 200 in the unfolded state. When the ceiling assembly 200 needs to be removed from the accommodating body 100, the connection relationship between the fifth connecting member 114 and the matching connecting member 2335 is released. In some embodiments, one of the fifth connector 114 and the mating connector 2335 may be a male connector, and the other may be a female connector. When the male connector and the female connector are connected, the ceiling assembly 200 remains in the unfolded state. The male connector and the female connector may be, but are not limited to, magnetic buckle assemblies or buckle assemblies that cooperate with each other.

[0342] Depend on Fig.23As can be seen in FIG. 1 , in some embodiments, the vehicle 1000 may include a side impact protection structure 500 (also referred to as a “protection device” or as an example or part of a “protection device”), which may be disposed on the housing body 100 and / or the roof assembly 200. The side impact protection structure 500 may include, for example, a side impact protection block 5. When the vehicle 1000 is in Fig.23 In the use state shown, the roof assembly 200 is in the unfolded state, and the side impact protection block 5 is in the use state and corresponds to the side of the housing body 100 (more specifically, at least one of the front and rear sides of the housing body 100). Fig.24 When the carrier 1000 is fixed on the vehicle seat and is subjected to a side impact, the side impact protection block 5 can reduce the impact of the side impact (such as an impact from a vehicle door) on the accommodating body 100 (especially the box 110), thereby ensuring the lateral safety of the pet in the accommodating space 113.

[0343] Fig.23 The mating connector 2335 is connected to the ceiling 22 through the connecting belt 236. When the mating connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 are connected, the mating connector 2335 is located outside the fifth connector 114. The side impact protection structure 500, for example, includes a side impact protection block 5 integrated on the shell of the mating connector 2335. That is, the side impact protection block 5 is attached to the shell of the mating connector 2335 or is integrally formed or directly formed by the shell of the mating connector 2335. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may protrude outward relative to the shell of the mating connector 2335 as described in the second embodiment of this aspect.

[0344] In some embodiments, the shell size of the mating connector 2335 can be changed so that the shell of the mating connector 2335 itself can be used as the side impact protection block 5 .

[0345] In some embodiments, for example, reference Fig.21 , the matching connector 2335 is directly connected to the ceiling 22 of the ceiling assembly 200, for example, and the fifth connector 114 can be connected to the seat cloth 150 of the accommodating body 100 or the box body 110 through the connecting belt 237. When the matching connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 are connected, the fifth connector 114 is located on the outside of the matching connector 2335. The side impact protection structure 500 may include a side impact protection block 5 integrated on the shell of the fifth connector 114, that is, the side impact protection block 5 is attached to or integrally formed with the shell of the fifth connector 114. Similarly, the shell size of the fifth connector 114 can be changed so that the shell of the fifth connector 114 itself is used as the side impact protection block 5. Alternatively, the side impact protection block 5 may protrude outward relative to the shell of the fifth connector 114.

[0346] In some embodiments, Fig.23 As shown, the shell of the matching connector 2335 or the shell of the fifth connector 114 used as the side impact protection block 5 has, for example, a larger thickness T and a larger side impact contact area (the area of ​​the side impact contact surface that withstands the side impact) S to achieve the side impact protection effect. In some embodiments, the side impact contact area S is preferably 40 cm 2 ~80cm 2 In some embodiments, the height of the shell of the matching connector 2335 or the shell of the fifth connector 114 used as the side impact protection block 5 protruding relative to the accommodating body 100 (the direction of the height is consistent with the direction of the thickness T) can be between 10 mm and 30 mm.

[0347] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, when the matching connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 are connected together, under the action of the connecting belt 236 or the connecting belt 237, the matching connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 can rotate relative to each other when subjected to a lateral impact. This relative rotation can disperse the instantaneous force direction, so that the matching connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 are not easily separated. Therefore, when an impact occurs, the ceiling assembly 200 can still stably cover the accommodating body 100 without opening the top opening 10 of the accommodating body 100, thereby protecting the pet in the accommodating space 113 from falling out of the accommodating body 100.

[0348] Continue to see Fig.23 In some embodiments, the seat cloth 150 covering the outer surface of the box body 110 may be provided with an open storage bag 151 and / or a storage bag 153 with a sealing member 1531 to provide the user with multiple storage spaces. The sealing member 1531 may be, for example, but not limited to, a zipper. The storage bag 153 may be, for example, a hidden storage bag hidden in the seat cloth 150.

[0349] See also Fig.24 The box 110 and the bracket device 120 of the housing body 100 and the ceiling frame 211 of the ceiling assembly 200 are shown in FIG. Fig.25The cross-sectional view shown. In some embodiments, the side impact protection structure 500 may further include a buffer block 55, which is disposed on the inner side 112b of the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110, and more specifically, on the inner side 112b of the peripheral wall 112 of the front side and / or rear side (i.e., either side along the longitudinal direction) of the box body 110. The buffer block 55 is used to buffer the lateral impact between the pet in the accommodating space 113 and the box body 110. In some embodiments, the box body 110 is made of, for example, a foam material, and the buffer block 55 is, for example, integrally formed with the box body 110. In some embodiments, the first side of the buffer block 55 may be attached to the box body 110 by bonding or other means. The material of the buffer block 55 may be selected from a material having an elastic shock absorbing effect, and the buffer block 55 may have a larger area and an appropriate thickness.

[0350] In some embodiments, when the buffer block 55 is a single-layer structure, it can be made of, for example, inert memory foam or other suitable materials. When the buffer block 55 is a multi-layer structure, it can be, for example, a combination of an EPP (expanded polypropylene) material layer, an EPS (expanded polystyrene) material layer and an EPE (pearl cotton) material layer, or a combination of an inert memory foam material layer and a PE (polyethylene) material layer, or a combination of other suitable material layers.

[0351] In some embodiments, the second side of the buffer block 55 opposite to the first side may be provided with a hard sheet (see Fig.41 and Fig.44 The hard sheet 56 in the container 100 has a relative relationship with the box 110 and the accommodating space 113. The hard sheet can be a plastic sheet made of PE (polyethylene), PC (polycarbonate), PP (polypropylene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) and the like. Alternatively, the hard sheet can be a metal sheet with high hardness, easy deformation and good toughness. When the pet collides with the buffer block 55 of the accommodating body 100, the hard sheet on the inner side of the buffer block 55 can quickly disperse the impact force to avoid excessive concentration of the impact force.

[0352] In some embodiments, the peripheral wall 112 of the box 110 and the buffer block 55 may be provided with a hole structure for ventilation. The hard sheet on the inner side of the buffer block 55 may be T-shaped or H-shaped, and such a hard sheet can avoid the hole structure on the buffer block 55.

[0353] Sixth embodiment of the first aspect

[0354] Fig.26A perspective view of a carrier 1000 provided in accordance with a sixth embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure is shown, and this embodiment is a variation of the carrier 1000 provided in the fifth embodiment. In the absence of conflict, the structures of the container body 100 and the ceiling assembly 200 of this embodiment can refer to the description in the fifth embodiment, and the following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the fifth embodiment.

[0355] See also Fig.26 In this embodiment, an open storage pocket 152 is provided on the front and / or rear side of the seat cloth 150 covering the outer surface of the box body 110. The storage pocket 152 is, for example, pasted or sewn on the seat cloth 150 to place smaller objects such as shoulder straps. In addition, the storage pocket 152 can at least partially accommodate the corresponding side impact protection block 5 to prevent the side impact protection block 5 from affecting the appearance or being damaged by collision. In some embodiments, the opening edge 1521 of the storage pocket 152 can be set to an elastically extendable elastic structure to facilitate better placement of objects.

[0356] In some embodiments, the fifth connector 114 is located in the corresponding storage pocket 152, and the side impact protection block 5 is disposed on the matching connector 2335. When the matching connector 2335 is connected to the fifth connector 114, the matching connector 2335 and the side impact protection block 5 in use are at least partially stored in the storage pocket 152.

[0357] Seventh embodiment of the first aspect

[0358] Fig. 27 A side view of a vehicle 1000 provided according to a seventh embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure is shown. This embodiment is a variation of the vehicle 1000 provided in the fifth embodiment. The main difference between this embodiment and the fifth embodiment is the implementation of the side impact protection structure 500. In the absence of conflict, the structures of the container body 100 and the roof assembly 200 of this embodiment can refer to the description of the fifth embodiment. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the fifth embodiment.

[0359] See also Fig. 27In this embodiment, a storage bag 155 is provided on the front side and / or the rear side of the seat cloth 150 coated on the outer surface of the box body 110, and the side impact protection structure 500 includes a side impact protection block 5, and the side impact protection block 5 is coated in the storage bag 155. The side impact protection block 5 is located below the first bracket 121 of the bracket device 120. The side impact protection block 5 can be a plastic block, and the material of the plastic block is, for example, selected from PC (polycarbonate) plastic, PP (polypropylene) plastic, etc. Alternatively, the side impact protection block 5 can be made of a foaming material, and the foaming material is, for example, selected from EPS, EPP, EPE, inert memory cotton (also referred to as inert foam), sponge, etc. Alternatively, the side impact protection block 5 can be made of a soft colloid (the soft colloid is, for example, selected from silicone or rubber). In some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 can, for example, be an elastic member (such as a spring, a shrapnel, etc.). When the carrier 1000 is hit sideways, the side impact is transmitted to the box body 110 and / or the bracket device 120 through the side impact protection block 5.

[0360] In some embodiments, the receiving pocket 155 may be formed by sewing a cloth piece onto the outer surface of the seat cloth 150 , and the side impact protection block 5 is sandwiched between the cloth piece and the seat cloth 150 .

[0361] In some embodiments, the receiving bag 155 can be connected to the seat cloth 150 to form a bag opening, and the bag opening can be provided with a sealing member (not shown in the figure), such as a zipper. The sealing member can open or close the bag opening to fix the side-mounted protection block 5 in the receiving bag 155 or remove it from the receiving bag 155. In some embodiments, the receiving bag 155 is detachably connected to the seat cloth 150 through the sealing member. For example, when the sealing member is a zipper, the zipper can be arranged around the receiving bag 155 and allow the receiving bag 155 to be removed from the seat cloth 150, so that it is convenient to clean the receiving bag 155 and replace the side impact protection block 5.

[0362] In some embodiments, the containing bag 155 can be a cloth bag. After the side impact protection block 5 is installed in the cloth bag, the bag opening is closed by sewing or by an openable sealing member, and then the cloth bag is sewn to the outer surface of the seat cloth 150.

[0363] It should be noted that, based on the different materials of the side impact protection block 5, the area of ​​the side impact contact surface S of the side impact protection block 5 and the height of the side impact protection block 5 protruding relative to the seat cloth 150 (also referred to as the thickness of the side impact protection block 5) may be different. For example, when the side impact protection block 5 is made of a plastic block, since the plastic block has high hardness and good impact resistance, the area S of the side impact contact surface of the side impact protection block 5 can be smaller, for example, 20 cm 2 -60cm 2The height of the side impact protection block 5 protruding relative to the seat cloth 150 can be between 40mm and 100mm, preferably 75mm. When the side impact protection block 5 is made of foam material, the hardness of the side impact protection block 5 is relatively low. At this time, the area S of the side impact contact surface of the side impact protection block 5 can be larger, for example, it can be between 80cm 2 -180cm 2 side impact protection block 5 relative to the height of the seat cloth 150 may be between 20mm-60mm, preferably 40mm.

[0364] Eighth embodiment of the first aspect

[0365] Fig.28 1 shows a perspective view of a carrier 1000 provided according to an eighth embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure, Fig.29 Shows Fig.28 As shown in the figure, this embodiment is a variation of the vehicle 1000 provided in the seventh embodiment. The main difference between this embodiment and the seventh embodiment is the implementation of the side impact protection structure 500. In the absence of conflict, the structures of the container body 100 and the roof assembly 200 of this embodiment can refer to the description of the second embodiment above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the second embodiment above.

[0366] See also Fig.28 and Fig.29 In this embodiment, the side impact protection structure 500 may include a side impact protection block 5, which is, for example, disposed on the outer side 112a of the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110, more specifically, disposed on the outer side 112a of the peripheral wall 112 of the front side and / or the rear side of the box body 110. When the box body 110 is made of a foam material, the side impact protection block 5 may, for example, be integrally formed with the box body 110. Of course, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may, for example, be attached to the box body 110 by bonding, secondary molding, clamping, etc. In some embodiments, a plurality of hole structures 1101 may be provided on the box body 110.

[0367] In some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may be made of foam material, and the shape of the side impact protection block 5 is, for example, a rectangle but not limited to a rectangle. The area of ​​the side impact contact surface S of the side impact protection block 5 may be 80 cm 2 -180cm 2 The thickness D may be within 60 mm, preferably 40 mm. It can be understood that the material, shape and size of the side impact protection block 5 are not limited to the above examples.

[0368] For example, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may include a planar side impact contact surface S, and a plurality of convex hulls may be evenly spaced on the side impact contact surface S. In some embodiments, the side impact contact surface S of the side impact protection block 5 may not be a planar surface, for example, it may be a spherical surface or a hemispherical surface.

[0369] Fig.30 Shows Fig.29 In a variant embodiment of the cross-sectional structure shown in FIG. 1 , the side impact protection structure 500 may further include a buffer block 55, which is disposed on the inner side 112b of the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110, and more specifically, on the inner side 112b of the peripheral wall 112 of the front side and / or the rear side of the box body 110. In some embodiments, the position of the buffer block 55 corresponds to the position of the side impact protection block 5, for example. The material of the buffer block 55 can refer to the relevant description of the buffer block 55 in the fifth embodiment. In some embodiments, the inner side surface of the buffer block 55 facing the accommodating space 113 can be provided with a hard sheet material (see Fig.34 The hard sheet 56).

[0370] It is understandable that the container body 100 may further include a seat cloth 150 . The seat cloth 150 covering the outer surface of the box body 110 may cover the side impact protection block 5 , and the seat cloth 150 covering the inner surface of the box body 110 may cover the buffer block 55 , so that the container body 100 has a neat appearance.

[0371] Ninth embodiment of the first aspect

[0372] Fig.31 The structure of the vehicle 1000 provided in accordance with the ninth embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure is shown. This embodiment is a variation of the vehicle 1000 provided in the fifth embodiment. In the absence of conflict, the structures of the container body 100 and the ceiling assembly 200 of this embodiment can refer to the description in the fifth embodiment. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the fifth embodiment. For example, this embodiment may further include a side impact protection structure provided on the ceiling, or additional side impact protection structures may be provided based on the structure of the fifth embodiment, etc., which will be described in detail below.

[0373] Combined with reference Fig.31 and Fig.32 In this embodiment, the side impact protection structure 500 includes a side impact protection block 5 connected to the front and / or rear of the roof 22. When the roof assembly 200 is in the deployed state, the shapes of the side impact protection block 5 and the surface of the roof 22 that contact each other match.

[0374] As can be seen from the above, in some embodiments, the roof 22 of the roof assembly 200 may include a shielding area 221 and an observation area 222. At least one side impact protection block 5 may be disposed in an area of ​​the shielding area 221 away from the observation area 222 ( Fig.31 And / or, at least one side impact protection block 5 may be disposed in an area of ​​the observation area 222 away from the shielding area 221 (eg, corresponding to the rear of the roof 22).

[0375] See also Fig.32 The exemplary structure of the side impact protection block 5 shown in the figure, in some embodiments, each side impact protection block 5 may include an integrally formed sheet, which may be made of a foam material (the foam material is, for example, selected from EPS, EPP, EPE, inert memory foam, sponge or a combination thereof). The side impact protection block 5 may be fixed to the inner side of the ceiling 22 by sewing. The thickness of the side impact protection block 5 may be between 20 mm and 60 mm, preferably 40 mm. When the ceiling assembly 200 is folded, the sheet may be folded together with the awning cloth 22.

[0376] Continue to see Fig.32 When the side impact protection block 5 in sheet form corresponds to at least two shielding sheets 2211 or at least two observation sheets 2221, the side impact protection block 5 correspondingly includes at least two sheet portions 511 and a bending portion 512 formed between two adjacent sheet portions 511. The size of each sheet portion 511 is, for example, close to the size of the corresponding shielding sheet 2211 or observation sheet 2221. The bending portion 512 corresponds to the U-shaped bracket 21, and the bending portion 512 may include a slit extending laterally so that the side impact protection block 5 can better fit the arched shape of the protective cover 300 and the ceiling 22. Of course, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 in sheet form may include only one sheet portion 511, and the shape of the one sheet portion 511 matches the shape of the corresponding shielding sheet 2211 or observation sheet 2221.

[0377] The tenth embodiment of the first aspect

[0378] Fig.33 A perspective view of a vehicle 1000 provided according to the tenth embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure is shown, and the vehicle 1000 is mainly modified from the roof 22 of the roof assembly 200 of the vehicle 1000 provided in any of the above embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the structures of the various components of the vehicle 1000 of this embodiment and the connection relationship between the components can refer to the above description, and will not be repeated here.

[0379] See also Fig.33, a part of the ceiling 22 (e.g., the shielding area 221) is provided with a ceiling opening 201, and a sealing member 223 is provided at the ceiling opening 201, and the sealing member 223 can close or open the ceiling opening 201. After the ceiling opening 201 is opened, it is not connected to the accommodating space 113, but exposes the extended observation area 224. The material and function of the extended observation area 224 can refer to the material and function of the aforementioned observation area 222. When the extended observation area 224 is not needed, the ceiling opening 201 is closed by the sealing member 223, and the extended observation area 224 is covered by the shielding sheet 2211.

[0380] In some embodiments, the closing member 223 includes, for example, a zipper strip 2231, a zipper strip 2232, and a zipper head 2233. The zipper strip 2231 and the zipper strip 2232 are connected by the zipper head 2233, thereby closing the ceiling opening 201. Fig.33 As can be seen in the figure, the zipper strip 2232 is installed on the edge 22111 of the shielding sheet 2211 used to cover the extended observation area 224, and the edges 22112 of the shielding sheet 2211 and the zipper strip 2232 at both ends are separated from the skirt 25. In this way, when the sealing member 223 fully opens the ceiling opening 201, the zipper strip 2231 and the zipper strip 2232 are separated from each other, and the shielding sheet 2211 used to cover the extended observation area 224 can be folded downward to expose the extended observation area 224. It can be understood that the embodiment of the sealing member 223 is not limited to the above-mentioned zipper structure.

[0381] In addition, in this embodiment, the first connecting member 41 for connecting with the second connecting member 32 of the protective cover 300 can be set at a suitable position on the skirt 25. The first connecting member 41 can be, for example, a metal ring or a plastic ring, which can be connected to the skirt 25 through a webbing 411.

[0382] See also Figure 33 to Figure 35, in this embodiment, the fifth connectors 114 are disposed on opposite sides (front and rear sides) of the box body 110. The fifth connectors 114 can be fixed on the seat fabric 150 or can be directly fixed on the box body 110 and exposed by the seat fabric 150. The mating connectors 2335 are disposed on corresponding sides (front and rear parts of the ceiling 22) of the ceiling 22 of the ceiling assembly 200. The mating connectors 2335 are connected to the skirt 25 of the ceiling 22 through, for example, a connecting band 236 more specifically. The mating connectors 2335 and the corresponding fifth connectors 114 are detachably connected. As described in the fifth embodiment, when the mating connectors 2335 and the fifth connectors 114 are connected, the ceiling assembly 200 is maintained in the deployed state, and the ceiling 22 closes the top opening 10 of the accommodation body 100. In some embodiments, one of the fifth connectors 114 and the mating connectors 2335 can be a male connector, and the other can be a female connector. When the male connector and the female connector are connected, the ceiling assembly 200 is maintained in the deployed state. The male connector and the female connector can be, but are not limited to, mutually mating magnetic snap components and buckle components.

[0383] See Fig.34 , when the mating connectors 2335 and the fifth connectors 114 in this embodiment are connected together, there is no need to configure on the mating connectors 2335 Fig.14 the side impact protection blocks 5 protruding outward relative to the housing of the mating connectors 2335 as shown in, nor is it necessary to additionally change the housing size (such as the thickness and surface area of the housing) of the mating connectors 2335. The mating connectors 2335 located on the front or rear side of the accommodation body 100 itself can be used as side impact protection blocks. In some embodiments, the mating connectors 2335 protrude outward from the ceiling frame 211 by a certain distance Q1 (i.e., the first distance), or the mating connectors 2335 protrude outward from the accommodation body 100 (more specifically, relative to the first bracket 121) by a certain distance Q2 (i.e., the second distance), or the mating connectors 2335 protrude outward from the box body 110 by a certain distance Q3 (i.e., the third distance), where Q1 < Q2 < Q3, so that the mating connectors 2335 play a better side impact protection role.

[0384] See Figure 36 to Figure 38 , the structure of the fifth connectors 114 and the connection manner between the fifth connectors 114 and the accommodation body 100 are exemplarily shown.

[0385] See Fig.38The shell of the fifth connecting member 114 includes a first buckle body 1141, two first connecting holes 1140 located on opposite sides of the first buckle body 1141, and two first connecting tongues 1143 extending outward from opposite sides of the first buckle body 1141. A magnetic member may be provided inside the first buckle body 1141. The middle portion of the first buckle body 1141 has a convex portion 1142, and the convex portion 1142 is, for example, a circular convex portion. The two first connecting tongues 1143 are respectively adjacent to the two first connecting holes 1140, and the shell of the first buckle body 1141 is, for example, integrally injection molded with the two first connecting tongues 1143.

[0386] See also Fig.36 and Fig.37 , the fifth connecting member 114 can be connected to the accommodating body 100 through a connecting belt 238. More specifically, the two ends 2380 of the connecting belt 238 pass through the two first connecting holes 1140 from the side of the first buckle body 1141 away from the protrusion 1142 and then fold over, and the two first connecting tongues 1143 are clamped in the connecting belt 238, and then the first connecting tongues 1143, the connecting belt 238, and the seat cloth 150 are connected together by, for example, sewing or riveting. In this embodiment, the connecting belt 238, the first connecting tongue 1143 and the seat cloth 150 are specifically connected together by sewing lines 2381 and sewing lines 2382. The first connecting tongue 1143 can effectively prevent the fifth connecting member 114 from turning around the connecting belt 238, thereby preventing the protrusion 1142 from facing the seat cloth 150 after the fifth connecting member 114 turns 180°.

[0387] Combined with reference Fig.34 and Fig.39 In some embodiments, a hard protective sheet 1181 may be provided between the seat cloth 150 and the box body 110, and the protective sheet 1181 corresponds to the position of the fifth connecting member 114. The protective sheet 1181 may be, for example, a hard sheet material, and the hard sheet material may be, for example, the description of the hard sheet material in the fifth embodiment. In this way, when the fifth connecting member 114 is impacted by a side collision, the protective sheet 1181 may quickly disperse the impact force, and avoid the impact force being too concentrated and possibly damaging the box body 110 made of the foam material.

[0388] See also Fig.39 In some embodiments, the sewing connection belt 238, the first connecting tongue piece 1143, the sewing lines 2381 and 2382 of the seat cloth 150 can also be connected to the protective sheet 1181, so as to ensure the relative position of the protective sheet 1181 and the fifth connecting member 114. In some embodiments, the protective sheet 1181 can be fixed on the pad 1182, and the pad 1182 can include a single-layer or multi-layer structure made of fabric. In this embodiment, the protective sheet 1181 ( Fig.39The protective sheet 1181 is connected to the cushion 1182 by, for example, a sewing line 1081, and the sewing line 1081 is, for example, routed around the periphery of the protective sheet 1181. In some embodiments, the protective sheet 1181 can be connected to the cushion 1182 by, for example, gluing or riveting. In some embodiments, the cushion 1182 is close to the box body 110, and the protective sheet 1181 is close to the seat cloth 150. The area of ​​the cushion 1182 is not less than the area of ​​the protective sheet 1181, so as to avoid the protective sheet 1181 directly contacting the box body 110 made of foam material and causing wear of the box body 110. Of course, in some embodiments, the area of ​​the cushion 1182 can also be smaller than the protective sheet 1181.

[0389] Continue to see Fig.39 In some embodiments, the seat cloth 150 includes, for example, a sewing line 1501, a sewing line 1502, a sewing line 1503, and a sewing line 1504 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, and each sewing line is used to sew two adjacent parts (including but not limited to fabric) of the seat cloth 150 together. The sewing line 1502 is, for example, connected to the protective sheet 1181 and the cushion 1182 at the same time. The fabric located between the sewing line 1503 and the sewing line 1504 corresponds to, for example, the transition part between the peripheral wall 112 and the bottom 111 of the box body 110, and the bottom edge of the protective sheet 1181 is, for example, located above the sewing line 1503. At this time, the sewing line 1081 can be disconnected at the bottom of the protective sheet 1181 without forming a closed ring, so that the cushion 1182 can be easily bent and connected to the seat cloth 150 through the sewing line 1503, and the sewing line 1503 does not need to be connected to the protective sheet 1181. Of course, in other embodiments, the seat cloth 150 may have other implementations, and the connection method between the pad 1182 and the protective sheet 1181 and between the pad 1182 and the seat cloth 150 is not limited to the above examples.

[0390] See also Fig.40 , exemplarily showing the structure of the mating connector 2335. The mating connector 2335, for example, includes a second buckle body 23351, a second connection hole 23350 located on one side of the second buckle body 23351, and a second connection tongue 23353 extending outward from the side where the second connection hole 23350 is located. A magnetic member may be provided inside the second buckle body 23351. The middle portion of the second buckle body 23351 has a recess 23352, and the recess 23352 is used to buckle with the protrusion 1142 of the first buckle body 1141 in a magnetically attractive manner. Combined with reference Fig.34 and Fig.35, the matching connector 2335 can be connected to the skirt 25 through a connecting belt 236. More specifically, the connecting belt 236 passes through the second connecting hole 23350 and has portions located on both sides of the second connecting tongue piece 23353. The portions of the connecting belt 236 located on both sides of the second connecting tongue piece 23353 can be connected to the second connecting tongue piece 23353 by sewing or riveting. In this embodiment, the connecting belt 236 and the second connecting tongue piece 23353 are connected by a sewing line 2361.

[0391] See also Fig.33 and Fig.35 When the matching connector 2335 is connected to the fifth connector 114 and is hit from the side, the middle part of the roof 22 is firmly connected to the roof locking portion 124 of the accommodating body 100 through the roof locking device 24 (see the second embodiment above), and the roof 22 is easily separated from the accommodating body 100 from the front or rear. In this embodiment, since the front or rear of the roof 22 is connected to the matching connector 2335 through the connecting belt 236, the matching connector 235 can rotate relative to the fifth connector 114 in the N1 or N2 direction (the connecting belt 236 can limit the rotation angle of the matching connector 235 in the N1 or N2 direction to less than 90 degrees), such relative rotation can disperse the instantaneous force direction, so that the matching connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 are not easily separated, and the front or rear of the roof 22 is prevented from being separated from the accommodating body 100.

[0392] Eleventh embodiment of the first aspect

[0393] Fig.41 FIG. 1 shows a partial cross-sectional view of a carrier 1000 provided according to the eleventh embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure. In the absence of conflict, the structure of the carrier 1000 shown in this embodiment can refer to the above description of the carrier 1000. Fig.34 Description of the carrier 1000 shown. It should be noted that, Fig.34 The structure of the carrier 1000 shown is generally used in small and medium-sized carriers. For small and medium-sized carriers, since the size of the housing body 100, the ceiling assembly 200, and the protective cover 300 are small and light, the handle 23 can be set on the ceiling 22, and the user can lift the carrier 1000 using the handle 23. Fig.41 The structure of the carrier 1000 shown is generally used in medium and large-sized carriers 1000. For medium and large-sized carriers, since the container body 100, the ceiling assembly 200, and the protective cover 300 are all large in size and heavy in weight, a handle 29 can be installed on the container body 100, and the user can lift the carrier 1000 using the handle 29.

[0394] See also Fig.41The outer side 112a of the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110 may be provided with a side impact protection block 5. The implementation of the side impact protection block 5 may refer to the description of the side impact protection block 5 in the eighth embodiment of this aspect. In this embodiment, the position of the side impact protection block 5 corresponds to the fifth connecting member 114 and the protective sheet 1181. The side impact protection block 5 may be made of energy-absorbing foam and located below the first bracket 121. The side impact protection block 5 may further enhance the side impact protection performance of the accommodating body 100.

[0395] Combined with reference Fig.41 and Fig.44 In some medium and large vehicles 1000, a groove structure 1112 may be provided on the inner side 112b of the peripheral wall 112 of the box 110 containing the main body 100, and a buffer block 55 may be installed in the groove structure 1112, and the buffer block 55 protrudes relative to the inner side 112b. The buffer block 55 is used to buffer the lateral impact between the pet in the accommodating space 113 and the box 110. In some embodiments, a hard sheet 56 may be provided on the inner side 55b of the buffer block 55 facing away from the peripheral wall 112, and the hard sheet 56 may be a plastic sheet made of PE (polyethylene), PC (polycarbonate), PP (polypropylene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) and the like. In some embodiments, the buffer block 55 and the hard sheet 56 may both be T-shaped. In addition, for a medium or large-sized carrier 1000 , a handle may not be provided on the ceiling 22 , but a hard handle 29 may be installed on the bracket device 120 , and the accommodating body 100 may be conveniently moved by the hard handle 29 .

[0396] It should be noted that when the ceiling 22 is not connected to the accommodating body 100, the fifth connector 114 and its convex portion 1142 can also be used as a side impact protection block. When the fifth connector 114 is hit from the side, the convex portion 1142 can transfer the impact force to the protective sheet 1181, the side impact protection block 5, and the box 110. The protective sheet 1181 can quickly disperse the impact force, the side impact protection block 5 can buffer the impact force and absorb energy, and the box 110 made of foam material can also absorb the impact force. When the ceiling 22 is connected to the accommodating body 100, the matching connector 2335 is connected to the fifth connector 114, and the concave-convex matching of the concave portion 23352 of the matching connector 2335 and the convex portion 1142 of the fifth connector 114 increases the surface area for transmitting the impact force (for the one-piece side impact protection block, there is no such transfer transition area), which can improve the transmission and dispersion effect of the impact force. In addition, the interior of the protrusion 1142 may include a metal structure to stabilize the structure of the protrusion 1142 and thus better conduct the impact force.

[0397] In addition, the bracket device 120 of the housing body 100 can also play a side impact protection role. For example, when the housing body 100 is subjected to a large side impact and the box body 110 is deformed, the deformed box body 110 transmits the impact force to the bracket device 120, and can be transmitted to the card seat through the third bracket 123 of the bracket device 120.

[0398] Twelfth embodiment of the first aspect

[0399] Figure 45 to Figure 47 A stereoscopic view of a protective cover 300 provided according to the twelfth embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure is shown. Fig.48 The internal structure of the cover body 31 of the protective cover 300 is shown. Fig.49 and Fig.50 A three-dimensional view of two anti-collision bodies 311 is shown. The function of the protective cover 300 provided in this embodiment is the same as that of the protective cover 300 in the first embodiment. The protective cover 300 is used to shield at least a portion of the roof assembly 200 of the vehicle 1000 to improve the impact resistance of the shielded area of ​​the roof assembly 200. In addition, similar to the first embodiment, the "protective cover" in this embodiment can also be used as an example or part of a "protective device".

[0400] See also Figure 45 to Figure 47 , the protective cover 300 may include a cover body 31 and at least one second connecting member 32. The cover body 31 extends in the transverse direction (i.e., the left-right direction of the container body 100) so as to be able to cover the front or rear of the ceiling assembly 200 laterally. In this embodiment, the cover body 31 has a shape that is narrow at both ends and wide in the middle. Two hooks are provided at both ends of the cover body 31, and the two hooks are used as two second connecting members 32. The two second connecting members 32 are used to be detachably connected to the two first connecting members 41 on the container body 100 or the ceiling assembly 200. In combination with the description of the first embodiment above, it can be seen that the implementation of the second connecting member 32 is not limited to the hook.

[0401] See also Fig.45 and Fig.47, the cover body 31 includes an outer fabric layer 301 and an inner fabric layer 302. When the protective cover 300 is in use, the cover body 31 is arched, the outer fabric layer 301 is facing away from the ceiling assembly 200, and the inner fabric layer 302 is facing the ceiling assembly 200. The outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 can both be made of fabric. In some embodiments, the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 can both be spliced ​​by multiple pieces of cloth. In this embodiment, the outer fabric layer 301 can be spliced ​​by pieces of cloth 3a, 3b and 3c. The piece of cloth 3c, for example, corresponds to the skirt 35 of the cover body 31, and the second connecting member 32 is connected to the piece of cloth 3c. The two ends of the piece of cloth 3a are connected to the two ends of the piece of cloth 3c, and the piece of cloth 3b is connected between the piece of cloth 3a and the piece of cloth 3c. The inner fabric layer 302 can be spliced ​​by the piece of cloth 3d and the piece of cloth 3e. In some embodiments, the cloth piece 3d corresponds to the cloth piece 3a, and the cloth piece 3e corresponds to the cloth piece 3b and the cloth piece 3c. Of course, in other embodiments, the implementation of the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 is not limited to the above description.

[0402] See also Fig.48 The outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 define one or more receiving spaces 313, and one or more anti-collision bodies 311 ( Fig.48 The outline of each anti-collision body 311 is shown by a dotted line in the figure, and the outer outline size of each anti-collision body 311 corresponds to the size of the corresponding receiving space 313. When the protective cover 300 is in use, each anti-collision body 311 of the protective cover 300 can provide a better anti-collision protection effect for the ceiling assembly 200.

[0403] Continue to see Fig.48 And combined with reference Fig.34In some embodiments, when the protective cover 300 matches the small and medium-sized vehicle 1000, the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 define two receiving spaces 313, for example. The two receiving spaces 313 are respectively a first receiving space 3131 and a second receiving space 3132, and the first receiving space 3131 and the second receiving space 3132 are both substantially extended in the transverse direction, and the first receiving space 3131 and the second receiving space 3132 are sequentially arranged in the longitudinal direction. The first receiving space 3131 corresponds to the area covered by the cloth piece 3d, for example, and the second receiving space 3132 corresponds to the area covered by the cloth piece 3e. Two anti-collision bodies 311 are arranged in the two receiving spaces 313, and the two anti-collision bodies 311 are respectively a first anti-collision body 3111 and a second anti-collision body 3112. The first anti-collision body 3111 is located in the first receiving space 3131, and the second anti-collision body 3112 is located in the second receiving space 3132. The two receiving spaces 313 are separated by, for example, a sewing line 317 or a glue line connecting the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302. In this way, each anti-collision body 311 is located in the corresponding receiving space 313 and is not easily displaced into other receiving spaces 313. In some embodiments, the sewing line 317 extends, for example, along the connection between the fabric piece 3d and the fabric piece 3e.

[0404] See also Fig.48 and Fig.49 In some embodiments, the first anti-collision body 3111 may be a single-layer structure, for example, made of a single-layer sheet. The first anti-collision body 3111 extends in the lateral direction to support the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 while playing the role of anti-collision protection. The single-layer sheet may be, for example, a soft sheet made of a buffer material. In some embodiments, the soft sheet may be, for example, made of a foam material, and the foam material may be, for example, EPP, EPS, EPO (expanded polystyrene polyethylene mixture), EPE material, etc. In some embodiments, the soft sheet may be made of foam (for example, inert memory foam). Of course, in other embodiments, the first anti-collision body 3111 may be a multi-layer structure as a whole, or the lateral middle area of ​​the first anti-collision body 3111 (corresponding to the lateral middle area of ​​the cover body 31) may be a multi-layer structure. The multi-layer structure may be formed by stacking multiple layers of sheets, and the multiple layers of sheets may include at least one soft sheet and at least one hard sheet, or the multiple layers of sheets may be both soft sheets or hard sheets. Adjacent sheets can be fixed together by adhesive, or multiple sheets can be bound together by strips. Of course, in some embodiments, the first anti-collision body 3111 can also be made of a single-layer hard sheet, which can be a plastic sheet, for example.

[0405] See also Fig.48 and Fig.50, at least part of the second anti-collision body 3112 may be in a multi-layer structure, so as to at least partially enhance the anti-collision protection effect of the second anti-collision body 3112. Of course, in some embodiments, the second anti-collision body 3112 may also be made of a single-layer soft sheet or a single-layer hard sheet. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the second anti-collision body 3112 may be in a multi-layer structure as a whole. The specific implementation of the multi-layer structure can refer to the above description of the multi-layer structure of the first anti-collision body 3111.

[0406] In this embodiment, considering that when the pet's head is located under the protective cover 300, the lateral middle area of ​​the second anti-collision body 3112 is closer to the pet's head and more susceptible to impact, an intermediate anti-collision portion 3110 is provided in the lateral middle area of ​​the second anti-collision body 3112. The intermediate anti-collision portion 3110 has a multi-layer structure, which can locally enhance the anti-collision protection effect of the lateral middle area of ​​the second anti-collision body 3112 and effectively reduce costs.

[0407] Fig.50 An exemplary embodiment of the second anti-collision body 3112 is shown. The second anti-collision body 3112 includes a laterally extending sheet 31121, a sheet 31122 is arranged on the lateral middle area of ​​the sheet 31121, and a sheet 31123 is arranged on the sheet 31122. The sheet 31121 and the sheet 31122 can both be soft sheets, and the sheet 31123 can be a hard sheet. The multilayer structure of the middle anti-collision part 3110 includes a sheet 31121, a sheet 31122 and a sheet 31123 stacked together, and adjacent sheets are fixed together, for example, by adhesive. The sheet 31121 is close to the outer fabric layer 301, and the sheet 31123 is close to the inner fabric layer 302. The outer contour size of the sheet 31121 corresponds to the size of the second receiving space 3132. The transversely extending sheet 31121 supports the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302, while giving the outer fabric layer 301 a relatively flat appearance. The periphery of the sheet 31122, for example, does not extend relative to the sheet 31121. The periphery of the sheet 31123, for example, does not extend relative to the sheet 31122, so that the edge of the hard sheet 31123 can be prevented from wearing through the inner fabric layer 302 when it is pressed. Of course, in some embodiments, the periphery of the sheet 31123 can also extend from the sheet 31122, that is, the size of the sheet 31123 can be larger than the sheet 31122. In some embodiments, the corners of the sheet 31123 are arc-shaped. In some embodiments, the middle anti-collision portion 3110 has a portion extending to the skirt 35, which can play a side collision protection role.

[0408] In some embodiments, sheet 31121 may be made of a foam material, such as EPP, EPS, EPO (expanded polystyrene polyethylene blend), EPE, etc. Sheet 31122 may be made of foam (such as inert memory foam). Sheet 31123 may be, for example, a plastic sheet. In some embodiments, a hard plastic sheet may be made of PE (polyethylene), PC (polycarbonate), PP (polypropylene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), etc. In the case where sheet 31123 is a hard sheet, when a pet collides with sheet 31123, sheet 31123 may disperse the impact force to avoid excessive concentration of the impact force.

[0409] Fig.51 and Fig.52 Shows Fig.50 The variant embodiment of the second bumper 3112 shown, Fig.53 FIG. 1 shows a partial cross-sectional view of a vehicle 1000 equipped with a protective cover 300 including the second bumper 3112. Fig.51 and Fig.52 In the variant embodiment of the second anti-collision body 3112, a sheet 31122 is arranged in the transverse middle area of ​​the sheet 31121, a sheet 31123 is arranged on the sheet 31122, a sheet 31124 is arranged on the sheet 31123, and a sheet 31125 is arranged on the sheet 31124.

[0410] In some embodiments, the adjacent sheets of the second bumper 3112 are fixed together, for example, by means of adhesive. Sheet 31121 is, for example, a soft sheet (including but not limited to an EPP board). The lateral dimension of sheet 31122 may be smaller than the lateral dimension of sheet 31121, and the longitudinal dimension of sheet 31122 is not greater than the longitudinal dimension of sheet 31121. The material of sheet 31122 is, for example, the same as that of sheet 31124, and both are soft sheets with a thicker thickness (including but not limited to a foam board). The material of sheet 31123 is, for example, the same as that of sheet 31125, and both are hard sheets with a thinner thickness (including but not limited to a PE board). The size of sheet 31123 may be smaller than that of sheet 31122. The lateral dimension of sheet 31124 may be larger than that of sheet 31123, and not larger than that of sheet 31122. The size of sheet 31125 may be smaller than that of sheet 31124. Combined with reference Figure 51 to Figure 53 The second anti-collision body 3112 is, for example, stepped, and the sheet 31124 corresponds to the upper position of the sheet 31121 in the longitudinal direction and is basically located above the box body 110.

[0411] Of course, the implementation of the second anti-collision body 3112 is not limited to the above examples. Fig.54 and Fig.55 In some alternative embodiments, at least one of the upper end and the lower end of each sheet of the second bumper 3112 may have a flush shape. Fig.54 In the embodiment, the upper ends of the sheets of the second anti-collision body 3112 are flush. Fig.55 In the embodiment, the upper and lower ends of each sheet of the second anti-collision body 3112 have a flush shape.

[0412] In some embodiments, both sheet 31123 and sheet 31125 may have rounded corners, so that the edge of the hard sheet 31123 may not wear through the inner fabric layer 302 when it is pressed. The periphery of sheet 31123, for example, does not exceed the periphery of sheet 31122, and the periphery of sheet 31125, for example, does not exceed the periphery of sheet 31124. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, at least part of the periphery of sheet 31123 may exceed the periphery of sheet 31122, and at least part of the periphery of sheet 31125 may exceed the periphery of sheet 31124.

[0413] Thirteenth embodiment of the first aspect

[0414] Figure 56 to Figure 58 A stereoscopic view of a protective cover 300 provided according to a thirteenth embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure is shown. Fig.59 Schematically shows Fig.58 The internal structure of the protective cover is shown. Figure 60 to Figure 62 The three-dimensional diagram of the anti-collision body 311 is shown. The protective cover 300 provided in this embodiment is a variation of the protective cover 300 provided in the twelfth embodiment. The following mainly describes the difference between the protective cover 300 of this embodiment and the protective cover 300 of the twelfth embodiment. In addition, the "protective cover" of this embodiment can also be used as an example or part of the "protective device".

[0415] See also Figure 56 to Figure 58, the cover body 31 of the protective cover 300 includes an outer fabric layer 301 and an inner fabric layer 302. The outer fabric layer can be spliced ​​by a piece of cloth 3f, a piece of cloth 3g, a piece of cloth 3h and a piece of cloth 3i. The piece of cloth 3i, for example, corresponds to the skirt 35 of the cover body 31, and the second connecting member 32, for example, is connected to the piece of cloth 3i. The two ends of the piece of cloth 3f are connected to the two ends of the piece of cloth 3i. The pieces of cloth 3g and 3h are arranged in sequence along the longitudinal direction and connected between the pieces of cloth 3f and 3i. The inner fabric layer 302 can be spliced ​​by a piece of cloth 3j, a piece of cloth 3k and a piece of cloth 3m. The two ends of the piece of cloth 3j are connected to the two ends of the piece of cloth 3m, and the piece of cloth 3k is connected between the pieces of cloth 3j and 3m. In some embodiments, the piece of cloth 3j, for example, corresponds to the piece of cloth 3f, the piece of cloth 3k, for example, corresponds to the piece of cloth 3g and the piece of cloth 3h, and the piece of cloth 3m, for example, corresponds to the piece of cloth 3i. Of course, in other embodiments, the implementation of the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 is not limited to the above description.

[0416] See also Fig.59 And combined with reference Figure 41 to Figure 43 In some embodiments, when the protective cover 300 is matched with a medium or large-sized carrier 100, the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 define three receiving spaces 313, for example. The three receiving spaces 313 are respectively a third receiving space 3133, a fourth receiving space 3134, and a fifth receiving space 3135. The three receiving spaces 313 extend in the transverse direction, and the three receiving spaces 313 are arranged in sequence in the longitudinal direction. The third receiving space 3133 corresponds to the area covered by the cloth piece 3j, the fourth receiving space 3134 corresponds to the area covered by the cloth piece 3k, and the fifth receiving space 3135 corresponds to the area covered by the cloth piece 3m.

[0417] Three anti-collision bodies 311 ( Fig.59 311 is shown in dotted lines), the three anti-collision bodies 311 are the third anti-collision body 3113, the fourth anti-collision body 3114, and the fifth anti-collision body 3115. The third anti-collision body 3113 is located in the third receiving space 3133, the fourth anti-collision body 3114 is located in the fourth receiving space 3134, and the fifth anti-collision body 3115 is located in the fifth receiving space 3135. The size of the outer contour of each anti-collision body 311 corresponds to the size of the corresponding receiving space 313. Adjacent receiving spaces 313 are separated by structures such as sewing lines 318, sewing lines 319, or viscose lines that connect the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302. In some embodiments, the sewing line 318 extends along the connection between the cloth piece 3j and the cloth piece 3k, and the sewing line 319 extends along the connection between the cloth piece 3m and the cloth piece 3j and the cloth piece 3k.

[0418] See also Fig.59 and Fig.60 , and combined with reference Fig.41 , the third anti-collision body 3113 can adopt a single-layer structure, that is, it can achieve a better anti-collision protection effect. The third anti-collision body 3113 with a single-layer structure can be a single-layer soft sheet or a single-layer hard sheet. The specific implementation of the single-layer soft sheet or the single-layer hard sheet can refer to the description of the first anti-collision body 3111 in the twelfth embodiment. In this embodiment, the third anti-collision body 3113, for example, adopts a laterally extended single-layer soft sheet. Of course, in some embodiments, the lateral middle area of ​​the third anti-collision body 3113 can be a multi-layer structure to locally enhance the impact resistance of the lateral middle part of the third anti-collision body 3113. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the third anti-collision body 3113 can also be a multi-layer structure as a whole. The specific implementation of the multi-layer structure can refer to the description of the multi-layer structure in the twelfth embodiment.

[0419] See also Fig.59 and Fig.61 , and combined with reference Fig.41 and Fig.42 In some embodiments, the entire fourth bumper 3114 or the transverse middle region of the fourth bumper 3114 is a multi-layer structure to at least partially enhance the impact resistance of the fourth bumper 3114. The specific implementation of the multi-layer structure can refer to the description of the multi-layer structure in the twelfth embodiment.

[0420] In this embodiment, the fourth anti-collision body 3114 may include a sheet 31141, a sheet 31142, and a sheet 31143. The sheet 31141 is close to the outer fabric 301, and the sheet 31143 is close to the inner fabric 302. The sheet 31141 may be a soft sheet, and its material may be, for example, but not limited to, EPP. The sheet 31141 extends laterally in the fourth receiving space 3134, and its outer contour size, for example, corresponds to the size of the corresponding fourth receiving space 3134, so as to support the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302, and to make the outer fabric layer 301 have a flat appearance. The sheet 31142 may also be a soft sheet, and its material may be, for example, but not limited to, inert memory foam. The area of ​​the sheet 31142 may be smaller than the sheet 31141, and it may be fixed to the lateral middle position of the sheet 31141 by adhesive, for example. The sheet 31143 may be a hard sheet. When the pet collides with the sheet 31143, the hard sheet 31143 may disperse the impact force to avoid excessive concentration of the impact force.

[0421] In some embodiments, the outer contour size of the sheet 31143 corresponds to the size of the fourth receiving space 3134, for example, and the sheet 31143 has a shape that is narrow at both ends and wide in the middle. According to actual needs, multiple sheets of the fourth anti-collision body 3114 can be stacked together without being fixed to each other by means of glue or the like, or at least a portion of adjacent sheets of the fourth anti-collision body 3114 can be fixed together by glue. For example, in some embodiments, when the protective cover 300 matches the smaller-sized accommodating body 100 and the ceiling assembly 200, the size of the protective cover 300 is also smaller, and all or at least a portion of adjacent sheets of the fourth anti-collision body 3114 can be fixed together by glue. When the smaller-sized protective cover 300 is squeezed or bent, the multiple sheets of the fourth anti-collision body 3114 fixed by glue are also not prone to debonding. When the protective cover 300 is matched with the larger sized housing body 100 and the ceiling assembly 200, the size of the protective cover 300 is also larger, and a portion of the sheets (such as but not limited to hard sheets) of the fourth anti-collision body 3114 can be simply stacked together with the sheets adjacent to at least one side without being fixed together by means of glue or the like, so as to avoid the hard sheets from being debonded from the adjacent sheets due to deformation and arching when the protective cover 300 is squeezed or bent. The fourth anti-collision body 3114 is provided with a plurality of sheet connection methods according to actual needs, so that the fourth anti-collision body 3114 can better fit and support the outer fabric layer and the inner fabric layer of the protective cover 300 to avoid wrinkles.

[0422] In some embodiments, notches 31140 extending toward the middle of the sheet 31143 are respectively provided at both ends of the sheet 31143, and the notches 31140 leave a deformation margin for the sheet 31143 to avoid wrinkles that cause the protective cover 300 to be uneven. In some embodiments, the corners of the sheet 31143 are arc-shaped to avoid puncturing the inner fabric layer 302. And, in some embodiments, the periphery of the sheet 31143, for example, does not extend relative to the sheet 31141, so that the edge of the hard sheet 31143 can be prevented from wearing through the inner fabric layer 302 when it is pressed.

[0423] See also Fig.61 and Fig.63 In some embodiments, a laterally extending gap 311420 may be provided in the middle of the sheet 31142, and the gap 311420 may be deformed according to the shape change of the sheet 31143, so as to facilitate better fitting of the soft sheet 31142 and the hard sheet 31143, as well as better fitting of the sheet 31142 and the sheet 31141, so that the fourth anti-collision body 3114 can better fit the arched shape of the protective cover 300 and the ceiling 22.

[0424] See also Fig.59 , Fig.61 and Fig.63In some embodiments, when the same anti-collision body 311 includes multiple sheets, and there are sheets that are not fixed together among the multiple sheets, at least one spacer layer 315 can be provided in the receiving space 313 for receiving the multiple sheets. The spacer layer 315 is an intermediate fabric layer provided between the inner fabric layer 302 and the outer fabric layer 301, and can be an inner lining. The spacer layer 315 can divide the receiving space 313 into at least two layered spaces, and the sheets that are not fixed together are respectively installed in the corresponding layered spaces. Each spacer layer 315 helps to locate the position of the sheets that are not fixed together. Specifically in this embodiment, a spacer layer 315 can be provided in the fourth receiving space 3114, and the spacer layer 315 divides the fourth receiving space 3134 into a layered space 31341 and a layered space 31342. The sheets 31141 and 31142 that are fixed together are accommodated in the layered space 31341, and the sheet 31143 is accommodated in the layered space 31342. Of course, in some embodiments, the spacer layer 315 may not be provided in the receiving space 313, and the anti-collision body 311 corresponding to the receiving space 313 without the spacer layer 315 may include a plurality of sheets, and the plurality of sheets may not be bonded to each other, or may be bonded in sequence, or may be partially bonded and partially not bonded, and the anti-collision body 311 may be directly received in the receiving space 313 without the spacer layer 315.

[0425] See also Fig.59 and Fig.62 , and combined with reference Fig.41 and Fig.43 , when the protective cover 300 is in use, the skirt 35 is wrapped around the outside of the top opening 10 of the accommodating body 100. The fifth anti-collision body 3115 corresponds to the skirt 35. In some embodiments, the fifth anti-collision body 3115 can adopt a single-layer structure, such as a single-layer soft sheet or a single-layer hard sheet. The specific implementation of the single-layer soft sheet or the single-layer hard sheet can refer to the description of the first anti-collision body 3111 in the twelfth embodiment. In some embodiments, the fifth anti-collision body 3115 can also be a multi-layer structure as a whole or a multi-layer structure in the lateral middle area. The specific implementation of the multi-layer structure can refer to the description of the multi-layer structure in the twelfth embodiment of this aspect. By making the lateral middle area of ​​the fifth anti-collision body 3115 a multi-layer structure, the fifth anti-collision body 3115 can also play a role in side impact protection.

[0426] See also Fig.62Specifically in this embodiment, the fifth anti-collision body 3115 may include a sheet 31151 extending laterally, a sheet 31152 stacked on the transverse middle region of the sheet 31151, and a sheet 31153 stacked on the sheet 31152. The sheet 31151 is, for example, close to the outer fabric layer 301, and the outer contour size of the sheet 31151 corresponds to the size of the fifth receiving space 3135, so as to play a role in supporting the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302. The sheet 31153 is, for example, close to the inner fabric layer 302.

[0427] The individual sheets (sheet 31151, sheet 31152, and sheet 31153) of the fifth anti-collision body 3115 can be fixed together by adhesive, or the individual sheets can be bound together by strips 31154. Sheet 31151 and sheet 31153 can be soft sheets of the same material, and the material thereof can be, for example, but not limited to, EPP. Sheet 31152 can also be a soft sheet, and the material of sheet 31152 can be, for example, but not limited to, inertial memory foam. In some embodiments, the materials of sheet 31151, sheet 31152, and sheet 31153 can be the same or completely different.

[0428] Fig.64 and Fig.65 Shows Fig.61 A variant implementation of the fourth anti-collision body 3114 is shown. Fig.64 and Fig.65 , a sheet 31145 and a sheet 31146 may also be provided on the hard sheet 31143, and the sheet 31145 and the sheet 31146 are, for example, both soft sheets. The sheet 31145 is fixed to the sheet 31143, for example, by glue, and the sheet 31146 is fixed to the sheet 31145, for example, by glue. The material of the sheet 31145 is, for example, the same as that of the sheet 31142 (including but not limited to foam), and the material of the sheet 31146 is, for example, the same as that of the sheet 31141 (including but not limited to EPP board). The notch 31140 divides the sheet 31143 into two parts, an upper part 311431 and a lower part 311432, respectively. The upper part 311431 and the lower part 311432 are connected at the lateral middle position, and the lower part 311432 is closer to the skirt 35 than the upper part 311431. See FIG. Figure 64 to Figure 66 Sheet 31145 and sheet 31146 are, for example, located in the lateral middle position of the lower portion 311432, and may have a middle protrusion 31147 extending toward the upper portion 311431, and the middle protrusion 31147 does not block the notch 31140 so as not to affect the deformation of sheet 31143 to adapt to the shape of the protective cover.

[0429] Fig.66 and Fig.67 Shows Fig.64 The fourth bumper 3114 is a modified embodiment shown in FIG. Fig.66 and Fig.67 It can be seen that in addition to the sheets 31145 and 31146 provided on the lower part 311432, sheets 31148 and 31149 are also provided in the lateral middle position of the upper part 311431. The sheets 31148 and 31149 are both, for example, soft sheets. The sheet 31148 is fixed to the upper part 311431, for example, by adhesive, and the sheet 31149 is fixed to the sheet 31148, for example, by adhesive. The material of the sheet 31148 is, for example, the same as that of the sheet 31145. The material of the sheet 31149 is, for example, the same as that of the sheet 31146.

[0430] Fourteenth embodiment of the first aspect

[0431] Fig.68 A partial cross-sectional view of a carrier 1000 according to the fourteenth embodiment of the first aspect of the present disclosure is shown. The carrier 1000 is equipped with a protective cover 300, and the protective cover 300 includes Fig.60 The third anti-collision body 3113 shown, Fig.64 The fourth bumper 3114 shown, and Fig.62 The fifth anti-collision body 3115 is shown. In the case of no collision, the structure of the vehicle 1000 provided in this embodiment can refer to the above description of Fig.41 The description of the carrier 1000 shown is not repeated here.

[0432] It should be noted that the carrier 1000 provided in any embodiment of the present disclosure (including but not limited to the fifth embodiment to the tenth embodiment) can be configured with the protective cover 300 provided in accordance with the embodiment of the present disclosure. The structure of the protective cover 300 and the matching relationship with the container body 100 and the ceiling assembly 200 can be referred to the above description and will not be repeated here. It can be understood that as long as the protective cover 300 can be connected to the container body 100 and / or the ceiling assembly and is used to cover at least a portion of the ceiling assembly (preferably, the front and / or rear of the ceiling assembly) when the ceiling assembly is in the unfolded state, the protective cover 300 can be, but is not limited to, the specific implementations listed in the above embodiments.

[0433] A second aspect of the present disclosure provides a travel device, a carrier and a protective device thereof, and various specific embodiments will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0434] First, in the context of the second aspect of the present disclosure, a travel device includes a carrier and a protective device, the carrier being used to carry an animal (such as a pet) to be restrained therein. When viewed from the top of the carrier, the carrier may be substantially rectangular, having a longitudinal axis / direction (indicated by arrow A in the figure) and a transverse axis / direction (indicated by arrow B in the figure). In the present disclosure, the carrier may be exemplarily arranged and mounted on the back seat of a vehicle so that the longitudinal axis of the carrier is parallel to the vehicle seat, that is, so that its transverse axis is parallel to the direction of travel of the vehicle (direction B6). The protective device provides the travel device with improved impact resistance to prevent the animal restrained therein from being impacted or injured by a side collision, which may be caused by being hit by an external object in an accident, or by a sudden change in the speed or direction of the vehicle while traveling.

In addition, the strap 61309 is optionally provided with a fixing member 61313 so that the length of the fixing strap 61309 is fixed after adjustment. In one example, the fixing member 61313 may include a length adjuster or be configured as a length adjuster, such as an adjustment buckle, for adjusting the length of the fixing strap 61309.

[0487] Alternatively or additionally, the body 61303 of the protection device 61301 is inverted L-shaped. That is, the body 61303 made of energy absorbing material or impact absorbing material is composed of a first part 61303A and a second part 61303B that are integrally formed at right angles to each other. Fig.81BAs shown, the second portion 61303B of the body 61303 extends from the top of the first portion 61303A in the longitudinal direction A6 and / or the horizontal direction (i.e., the direction extending along the short side of the carrier 61300) of the carrier 61300, and its height is slightly higher than the top of the roof portion 61304, and one end of the fixing belt 61309 is connected to the end surface of the second portion 61303B of the body 61303.

[0489] Fourteenth embodiment of the second aspect

[0490] See also Fig.82A and Fig.82B , schematically illustrating a travel device 614 according to a fourteenth embodiment of the second aspect of the present disclosure, wherein Fig.82A is a three-dimensional diagram of the travel device 614, Fig.82B is a side view of the travel device 614 .

[0491] The travel device 614 includes a carrier 61400, and a protective device 61401 attached to the carrier 61400 to provide improved impact resistance for the carrier 61400. The carrier 61400 has a similar structure and construction as the above-mentioned carrier 61300, including a box portion 61402 having a buckle assembly 61410, a roof portion 61404 detachably attached to the box portion 61402, carrying handles pivotally and detachably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 61402, and a bracket assembly 61408 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 61402. Fig.82A and Fig.82B In the illustration, the carrying handle of the vehicle is omitted for clarity.

[0492] Similar to the travel device 613, in this embodiment, the protective device 61401 is alternatively or additionally attached to the carrier 61400 by a fixing strap 61409, which extends outward from the upper part of the protective device 61401. The difference is that in this embodiment, the connecting portion of the first part 61403A and the second part 61403B is chamfered instead of a right angle. In addition, one end of the fixing strap 61409 is connected to the upper part of the protective device 61401, and is connected to the connecting portion 61414A (directly provided on the roof portion 61404) at its distal end (the other end) through a connecting member 61411, rather than being connected to a carrying handle attached to the opposite side of the box portion 61402. In addition, the strap 61409 is optionally provided with a fixing member 61413 so that the length of the fixing strap 61409 is fixed after adjustment.

[0493] In this embodiment, in addition to the optional connection between the first attachment portion 61412 and the second attachment portion 61405, the vehicle 61400 can also be supported and protected in a relatively stable manner by the connection between the body 61403 of the protection device 61401 and the connection portion 61414A at the top of the roof portion 61404. It should be noted that the connection structures such as the "fixing belt 61409", "connecting member 61411" and / or "fixing member 61413", and / or "first attachment portion 61412" and / or "second attachment portion 61405" in this embodiment can be used as an example or part of the "connecting device".

[0494] According to the present disclosure, the fixing belt as shown in the figure can be an elastic belt or an inelastic belt. It is worth noting that the elastic belt can help absorb the impact or collision caused by a side collision or a sudden change in the speed or direction of the vehicle while driving, while the inelastic belt can help disperse the impact and increase the safety strength.

[0495] According to the present disclosure, the body of the protective device is made of energy absorbing material or impact absorbing material. Examples of such materials include, but are not limited to, expanded polyethylene (EPE), expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polystyrene (EPS), expanded polyolefin (EPO), memory foam materials such as polyurethane (PU) foam, silicone and latex. The body of the protective device can be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. The body of the protective device can be formed into various shapes in cross section.

[0496] refer to Figures 83A to 83G , showing various designs of the plate-like body according to the present disclosure. The plate-like bodies 615A to 615E are shown as having respective cross-sectional shapes. It should be noted that the "cross-section" here refers to the cross-section of the plate-like body when viewed from the front side of the carrier. For example, Fig.83AAs shown, the cross section of the plate-like body 615A may be rectangular. Fig.83B and Fig.83C As shown, the plate-like body 615B and / or 615C may be composed of two parts with different thicknesses (i.e., corresponding to the width of the cross section), wherein the first part has a constant thickness, and the second part extends from one end (such as the upper end) of the first part and has a thickness that gradually increases or decreases from the first part. Optionally, the second part with a gradually changing thickness may be configured such that one surface is flush with one surface of the first part, and the other surface is at an angle to the other surface of the first part (see Fig.83B ); or, the second part can be configured such that the two surfaces are angled with the two surfaces of the first part respectively (see Fig.83C ). In another example, the first portion and / or the second portion may have other variable thickness shapes other than a gradient thickness. Fig.83D As shown, the plate-like body 615D has a first portion and a second portion that are perpendicular or angled to each other. Optionally, the first portion and the second portion may have a constant thickness, wherein the thickness of the first portion may be equal to the thickness of the second portion, but is not limited thereto, that is, it may be less than or greater than the thickness of the second portion. In addition, the first portion and / or the second portion may also have a variable thickness. For example, Fig.83E As shown, at least a portion of the cross section of the plate-like body 615E may be curved, for example, having an arc-shaped corner, etc. However, it should be understood that, in the case of no structural conflict, the shapes of the plate-like bodies in the various embodiments of the second aspect of the present application may be combined or replaced with each other.

[0497] Plate-like body 615F is shown as having a two-layer structure, while plate-like body 615G is shown as having a three-layer structure. In these embodiments, plate-like bodies 615F and 615G are made by laminating more than one layer, and thereby provide composite softness to absorb and release impacts or shocks caused by side collisions or sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction. That is, relatively soft materials can help absorb impacts or shocks caused by side collisions or sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction, while relatively rigid materials can help disperse the impact and increase safety strength. In view of this, relatively rigid materials can be arranged as the outer layer of a plate-like body having a multi-layer structure, in which relatively soft materials can be sandwiched therein or as an inner layer. Fig.83FTaking the plate-like body 615F as an example, layer 6151F can be made of a relatively rigid material and used as an outer layer arranged on the side close to the rear door of the vehicle, while layer 6152F can be made of a relatively soft material and used as an inner layer arranged on the side close to the vehicle. Taking the plate-like body 615G as an example, layer 6152G made of a relatively soft material is sandwiched between layers 6151G and 6153G. This three-layer structure provides improved strength and impact resistance for the plate-like body, thereby providing improved strength and impact resistance for the protective device.

[0498] refer to Fig.84A and Fig.84B , showing plate-like bodies 61603A and 61603B of different sizes according to the present disclosure. As shown, the carriers 61600A and 61600B have a certain width L61 defined by the box portion in the transverse direction B6. Fig.84A In the embodiment of the present invention, the width L62 of the plate-shaped body 61603A is greater than the width L61 of the carrier 61600A, and Fig.84B In the embodiment of the present invention, the width L63 of the plate-like body 61603B is less than the width L61 of the carrier 61600B. It is worth noting that in both cases, the central axis of the corresponding plate-like body 61603A, 61603B (i.e., the axis perpendicularly passing through the corresponding midpoint of the width L62, L63) and the central axis of the carrier 61600A, 61600B (i.e., the axis perpendicularly passing through the midpoint of the width L61) will coincide.

The travel device 625 includes a vehicle 62500 and a protective device 62501 attached to the vehicle 62500 at the side of the vehicle 62500. The structure and construction of the vehicle 62500 are similar to Fig.69 The structure and construction of the carrier 6100 shown are similar, including a box portion 62502, a roof portion 62504 detachably attached to the box portion 62502 by a buckle assembly 62510, a carrying handle 62506 detachably and pivotably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 62502, and a bracket assembly 62508 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 62502. Similarly, when viewed from the top of the box portion 62502, the box portion 62502 can be a rectangular shape defined by a pair of opposing long sides extending in the longitudinal direction A6 and a pair of opposing short sides extending in the transverse direction B6. The protective device 62501 is mainly composed of a body 62503 made of energy absorbing material or impact absorbing material.

[0504] and Figures 85A to 85C Similar to the embodiment shown, in this embodiment, the protection device 62501 can be attached to the carrier 62500 at the side corresponding to one of the long sides. More specifically, when the travel device 625 is placed in the vehicle, the protection device 62501 can be attached to the carrier 62500 and sandwiched by the long side of the carrier 62500 and the seat back 630. Fig.86C As shown, the body 62503 of the protection device 62501 is in an inverted L shape. That is, the body 62503 made of energy absorbing material or impact absorbing material is composed of a first part 62503A and a second part 62503B that are integrally formed at right angles to each other. Fig.86A and Fig.86B As shown, the second portion 62503B of the body 62503 extends from the top of the first portion 62503A along the horizontal direction and lateral direction B6 of the carrier 62500, and its level is slightly higher than the top of the upright carrying handle 62506 or the roof portion 62504 (when the carrying handle 62505 is removed or pivoted to a horizontal position) to cover the top of at least a portion of the carrier 62500.

[0505] Additionally or alternatively, in this embodiment, see Figures 86A to 86C, the protection device 62501 is alternatively or additionally placed in the vehicle by a fixing belt 62509 wrapped around the headrest 630A of the vehicle. More specifically, the fixing belt 62509 can be connected to the upper part of the protection device 62501 at one end 62509A thereof and extend outwardly therefrom. The fixing belt 62509 may, for example, extend from the front side of the seat 630 (i.e., the position where the protection device 62501 is provided) via one side of the protection device 62501 (specifically, its body 62503) (i.e., the side connected to the end 62509A) toward the rear side of the seat 630, wrap around the headrest 630A from the rear side of the seat 630 (e.g., it may wrap around the position where the headrest 630A is connected to the seat 630), and then extend toward the front side of the seat 630 (i.e., from the other side of the headrest 630A to the front side of the seat 630), so as to be connected to the other side of the body 62503 of the protection device 62501 (not shown) through the other end of the fixing belt 62509 (i.e., the end away from the end 62509A). In this way, the protection device 62501 can be firmly attached to the seat 630 in addition to being attached to the carrier 62500. Optionally, the belt 62509 may be provided with a fixing member (not shown) so that the length of the fixing belt 62509 is fixed after adjustment.

[0512] In this embodiment, the ceiling portion 61704 is mainly composed of a pair of U-shaped frames 61742 and a plurality of U-shaped support rods (also collectively referred to as "U-shaped frames") 61746 spaced apart from each other. When the cover 61744 is connected to these brackets 61742 and support rods 61746 by, for example, tying or gluing, the ceiling portion 6174 provides a shielding effect for the animals in the box portion 61702 when in the unfolded state. The U-shaped frames 61742 are connected to the cover 61744 (also referred to as "ceiling") at the lower periphery of the ceiling portion 6174, and are pivotally connected to the opposite side of the box portion 61702 by corresponding pivots 61748, so that the ceiling portion 6174 can be folded or unfolded. When unfolded to cover the box portion 61702, the ceiling portion 6174 can be fixed to the opposite short side of the box portion 61702 by magnetic connectors 61720.

[0513] In the present embodiment, the ceiling portion 6174 is divided into two halves, each half including two support rods 61746. The cover 61744 is divided into a total of five corresponding regions 61744A to 61744E (i.e., 61744A, 61744B, 61744C, 61744D, 61744E). By increasing the number of support rods 61746, the ceiling portion 6174 can be provided with improved support for impact resistance. As an alternative, each half of the ceiling portion 6174 can include at least two support rods, for example, but not limited to three, four or five support rods. It should be noted that the cover having these regions can be respectively composed of "sheets" or "sheet-like pieces" joined to each other, wherein each sheet or sheet-like piece forms an area; or, the cover can be an integrally formed structure, and these areas are respectively a part thereof.

The roof portion 6184 also has a structure and construction similar to the roof portion 6174, except for the number of support rods 61846, that is, including a U-shaped frame 61842 connected to the box portion 61802 by corresponding pivots 61848, and support rods 61846 for supporting the cover 61844. In this embodiment, each half of the roof portion 6184 includes five support rods 61846. That is, the roof portion 6184 is provided with a total of ten support rods 61846, so that the cover 61844 is divided into eleven areas 61844A to 61844K (i.e., 61844A, 61844B, 61844C, 61844D, 61844E, 61844F, 61844G, 61844H, 61844I, 61844J, 61844K). As the number of support rods increases, the roof portion 6184 and thus the carrier 61800 can have improved impact resistance support compared to the carrier 61700.

[0516] The support rod can be selected as a strip-shaped flexible member made of plastic or hardware (such as metal), but is not limited thereto. Preferably, some or all of the support rods 61746, 61846 can be made of energy absorbing materials or impact materials as described above to provide improved impact resistance for the carrier to prevent the animal therein from being impacted or injured due to a side collision or a sudden change in vehicle speed or direction.

[0517] Third aspect: third embodiment

[0518] Please refer to Fig.89 , schematically shows a carrier 61900 according to a third embodiment of the third aspect of the present disclosure. The carrier 61900 has the same Fig.87The illustrated carrier 61700 has a similar structure and construction, including a box portion 61902 having a buckle assembly 61910, a roof portion 6194 removably attached to the box portion 61902, carrying handles 61906 pivotally and removably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 61902 via pivots 61962, and a bracket assembly 61908 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 61902. The roof portion 6194 also has a similar structure and construction to the roof portion 6174, including a U-shaped frame 61942 connected to the box portion 61902 via corresponding pivots 61948, and four support rods 61946 for supporting the lid 61944. Similar to the ceiling portion 6174, the cover 61944 of the ceiling portion 6194 is divided into five areas 61944A to 61944E (ie, 61944A, 61944B, 61944C, 61944D, 61944E).

[0519] The vehicle 61900 differs from the vehicle 61700 in that, in this embodiment, the cover 61944 has a protective device 61901 embedded in its central region 61944C. The protective device 61901 may be formed as a plate or sheet made of an energy absorbing material or impact absorbing material as described above, thereby providing the vehicle with improved impact resistance to prevent animals carried therein from being impacted or injured due to side collisions or sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction.

[0520] Third aspect fourth embodiment

[0521] Please refer to Fig.90A and Fig.90B ,in Fig.90A The carrier 62000 according to the fourth embodiment of the third aspect of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Fig.90B The arrangement of the protection device of this embodiment is schematically shown.

[0522] The structure and construction of the vehicle 62000 are similar to Fig.87The illustrated carrier 61700 is similar, including a box portion 62002 having a buckle assembly 62010, a roof portion 62040 removably attached to the box portion 62002, carrying handles 62006 pivotably and removably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 62002 via pivots 62062, and a bracket assembly 62008 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 62002. The roof portion 62040 also has a structure and construction similar to the roof portion 6174, including a U-shaped frame 62042 connected to the box portion 62002 via corresponding pivots 62048, and four support rods 62046 for supporting the lid 62044. Similar to the ceiling portion 6174, the cover 62044 of the ceiling portion 62040 is divided into five areas 62044A to 62044E (ie, 62044A, 62044B, 62044C, 62044D, 62044E).

[0523] The vehicle 62000 differs from the vehicle 61700 in that, in this embodiment, the roof portion 62040 includes a plurality of protective devices 62001 attached to the outer surface and / or inner surface of the regions 62044A to 62044E. The protective devices 62001 may be formed as plates or sheets made of energy absorbing materials or impact absorbing materials as described above, thereby providing the vehicle with improved impact resistance to prevent animals carried therein from being impacted or injured due to side collisions or sudden changes in vehicle speed. Fig.90B As shown, the protection device 62001 is shown as being attached to the inner surface of the cover 62044 by binding or gluing. However, in areas 62044A to 62044E, these protection devices 62001 can also be attached to the outer surface of the cover 62044 or embedded in the cover 62044.

[0524] In addition, if Fig.90B The protective device 62001 shown is constructed as a double-layer structure including a first layer 62001A and a second layer 62001B. The protective device 62001 is made of a selected combination of energy absorbing materials or impact absorbing materials as described above, so that the second layer 62001B facing and close to the animal in the box part (not shown) (i.e., facing or close to the accommodation space) is relatively soft compared to the first layer 62001A, for providing a comfortable experience for the animal.

[0525] Alternatively, the protective device may be formed to have a shape or configuration corresponding to the cover 62044 of the roof portion 62040. For example, the protective device may have a single-piece structure completely corresponding to the contour of the roof portion 62040, so that the protective device can be completely attached to the inner and / or outer surface of the cover 62044, for example, by tying or gluing, or embedded in the cover 62044. Preferably, the protective device is formed to have a two-piece structure, each piece corresponding to half of the roof portion 62040, so that the protective device can be folded as the roof portion is folded.

[0526] Third aspect fifth embodiment

[0527] Please refer to Figure 91 to Figure 93 , Figure 91 to Figure 93 62100, 62200 and 62300 are side views of vehicles according to the fifth embodiment of the third aspect of the present disclosure, showing various designs of the roof portion of the vehicle. Fig.87 The carrier 61700 shown is similar except that the corresponding cover of the roof portion has been designed and modified.

[0528] like Fig.91 As shown, the carrier 62100 includes a box portion 62102 having a buckle assembly 62110, a roof portion 62140 detachably attached to the box portion 62102, a carrying handle 62106 pivotably and detachably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 62102 by a pivot 62162, and a bracket assembly 62108 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 62102, which is similar to those of the above-mentioned carriers. The roof portion 62140 also has a similar structure and construction as the above-mentioned roof portion, including a U-shaped frame 62142 connected to the box portion 62102 by corresponding pivots 62148, and four support rods 62146 for supporting a cover 62144. Similar to the ceiling portion 6174, the cover 62144 of the ceiling portion 62140 is divided into five areas 62144A to 62144E (ie, 62144A, 62144B, 62144C, 62144D, 62144E).

[0529] In this embodiment, some of the areas 62144A to 62144E of the cover 62144 are made of mesh fabric (i.e., "mesh fabric") to enhance air circulation inside and outside the carrier 62100. The mesh fabric also allows the user (e.g., the animal owner) to observe the animal, i.e., to form an "observation area" to check the status of the animal or in the carrier. In other embodiments, these areas can also be made of a transparent material (e.g., a plastic film) and optionally provided with a breathable structure. It is worth noting that a fabric with a relatively small mesh size can always provide relatively high strength compared to a fabric with a relatively large mesh size. In view of this, the mesh size of the fabric can be selected according to the actual application, and optionally, different areas of the cover 62144 can be made of mesh fabrics of different mesh sizes.

[0530] According to experience, when encountering a collision or being hit by an external object or vehicle, the animal in the carrier will move in a specific direction due to inertia and hit. Therefore, in the present disclosure, it is preferred to arrange the fabric with a relatively small mesh size and thus relatively high strength in the area of ​​the cover facing this direction, so as to provide better protection for the animal when the animal flies (moves / hit) towards the fabric during a collision or impact. Fig.91 In the illustrated embodiment, the left half of the cover 62144 is made of mesh fabric, and the second area from the U-shaped frame 62142 upward, that is, the area 62144D between the area 62144E and the area 62144C, is made of fabric with a relatively small mesh size to have a relatively high strength to support the animal carried in the carrier, so as to protect the animal in a relatively safe manner. According to experience, Fig.91 In the embodiment shown, an external collision or side impact can cause an impact force on the carrier, causing the animal carried in the carrier to move toward the direction of area 62144D. Therefore, when the animal "flies (moves / impacts)" toward this area, the arrangement of the fabric with a relatively small mesh size can protect the animal in the carrier from injury.

[0531] like Fig.92As shown, the carrier 62200 includes a box portion 62202 having a buckle assembly 62210, a roof portion 62240 detachably attached to the box portion 62202, a carrying handle 62206 pivotably and detachably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 62202 by a pivot 62262, and a bracket assembly 62208 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 62202, which is similar to those of the above-mentioned carriers. The roof portion 62240 also has a similar structure and construction as the above-mentioned roof portion, including a U-shaped frame 62242 connected to the box portion 62202 by corresponding pivots 62248, and four support rods 62246 for supporting a cover 62244. Similar to the ceiling portion 6174, the cover 62244 of the ceiling portion 62240 is divided into five areas 62244A to 62244E (ie, 62244A, 62244B, 62244C, 62244D, 62244E).

[0532] Similarly, some of the regions 62244A to 62244E of the cover 62244 are made of mesh fabric to enhance air circulation inside and outside the vehicle 62200, and different regions of the cover 62244 may be made of mesh fabric of different mesh sizes. Fig.92 As shown, at least regions 62244B to 62244E are made of mesh fabric. Region 62244D between region 62244E and region 62244C is made of fabric with a relatively small mesh size. Fig.92 In the embodiment shown, an external collision or side collision may cause an impact force to the carrier, causing the animal carried in the carrier to move toward the direction of area 62244D. Therefore, when the animal "flies (moves / collides)" toward this area, arranging a relatively small mesh size of fabric in such an area can protect the animal in the carrier from injury. In addition, area 62244B can be covered with cloth 62244' (also an example of a "protective cover"), and when the cloth is uncovered, the interior of the box portion 62202 is exposed, thereby allowing the user or animal owner to check the status of the animal therein.

[0533] like Fig.93As shown, the carrier 62300 includes a box portion 62302 having a buckle assembly 62310, a roof portion 62340 detachably attached to the box portion 62302, a carrying handle 62306 pivotably and detachably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 62302 via a pivot 62362, and a bracket assembly 62308 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 62302, which is similar to those of the above-mentioned carriers. The roof portion 62340 also has a similar structure and construction as the above-mentioned roof portion, including a U-shaped frame 62342 connected to the box portion 62302 via corresponding pivots 62348, and four support rods 62346 for supporting a cover 62344. Similar to the ceiling portion 6174, the cover 62344 of the ceiling portion 62340 is divided into five areas 62344A to 62344E (ie, 62344A, 62344B, 62344C, 62344D, 62344E).

[0534] Similarly, some of the regions 62344A to 62344E of the cover 62344 are made of mesh fabric to enhance air circulation inside and outside the vehicle 62300, and different regions of the cover 62344 may be made of mesh fabric of different mesh sizes. Fig.93 As shown, at least regions 62344B to 62344E are made of mesh fabric. In this embodiment, region 62344D sandwiched by regions 62344E and 62344C and region 62344B sandwiched by regions 62344A and 62344C are made of the same fabric with a relatively smaller mesh size. In this way, Fig.93 In the embodiment shown, the animal in the carrier can be protected when the animal "flies (moves / collides)" toward two areas 62344B and 62344D. In addition, area 62344B can be covered with cloth 62344', which can be uncovered to expose the interior of box portion 62302, thereby allowing the user or animal owner to check the status of the animal therein.

[0535] In addition to being attached to the carrier at the side of the carrier corresponding to one of the short sides, the protective device can also be attached to the carrier at the side corresponding to one of the long sides, such as Figures 85A to 85C and Figures 86A to 86C The embodiments shown respectively.

[0536] The fourth aspect of the present disclosure also provides a vehicle and an anti-collision material disposed on the vehicle, the specific structure of which will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The "anti-collision material" of this aspect may also be referred to as an "anti-collision body (part)" or a "protective block (structure)", and may be considered as an example of a "protective device".

[0537] refer to Fig.94, schematically shows a box 7110 of a carrier according to a first embodiment of the fourth aspect of the present disclosure.

[0538] like Fig.94 As shown, the carrier of the first embodiment of the present invention includes a box 7110, which includes a body 7111 and a bottom support 7112, wherein the body 7111 constitutes four side surfaces and a top surface of the box 7110, and the bottom support 7112 constitutes the bottom of the box 7110. In one example, the body 7111 is detachably connected to the bottom support 7112, and more specifically, is covered above the bottom support 7112 to form a storage space for carrying a pet with the bottom support 7112.

[0539] The body 7111 may include a first support member and a second support member. In this embodiment, the first support member may be a side support member 71111, the second support member may be an upper support member 71112, and the side support member 71111 and the upper support member 71112 may be at least partially detachably connected to each other through at least one connecting assembly. The connecting assembly may include a matching structure respectively arranged on the side support member 71111 and the upper support member 71112, for example, a zipper structure, a snap-fit ​​structure, a sliding buckle structure, a Velcro, a hook-and-loop structure, etc. that match each other, and a flexible connecting structure may be optionally used.

[0540] In one example, the side support 71111 may include a first sub-support 71111a and a second sub-support 71111b, the first sub-support 71111a and the second sub-support 71111b are respectively arranged on both sides of the upper support 71112 (e.g., symmetrically arranged relative to the upper support 71112), and at least a portion of the first sub-support 71111a and at least a portion of the second sub-support 71111b can be detachably connected to the upper support 71112 through a connecting assembly. The first sub-support 71111a and the second sub-support 71111b of the side support 71111 form two side surfaces of the body 7111, and the upper support 71112 forms the top surface of the body 71111 and at least a portion of the other two side surfaces. Optionally, the first sub-support 71111a and the second sub-support 71111b can be connected as a whole through a connecting piece 71111c. For example, the first sub-support member 71111 a and the second sub-support member 71111 b may be integrally formed with the connecting piece 71111 c to constitute the side support member 71111 .

[0541] The upper support member 71112 may include three sheet members connected to each other, and may be arched when connected to the side support member 71111. Specifically, the upper support member 71112 may include a first sheet member 71112a, a second sheet member 71112b, and a third sheet member 71112c, wherein the first sheet member 71112a and the third sheet member 71112c respectively constitute a part of the other two side surfaces of the body 7111, and the second sheet member 71112b constitutes the top surface of the body 7111. Optionally, the first sheet member 71112a and the third sheet member 71112c have a flexible structure (i.e., they are bendable). In a specific example, the upper support member 71112 may have an integral structure, i.e., the three sheet members 71112a, 71112b, and 71112c are formed into one piece by, for example, sewing or other connection methods. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the three sheet-like members may also be detachably connected to each other via a flexible connection structure or the like.

[0542] In addition, if Fig.94 As shown, the top side of the upper support member 71112 (i.e., the second sheet member 71112b) may be provided with a handle 7115, for example, at the center of the top side, for lifting the pet carrier. In one example, the handle 7115 may be a flexible webbing. Optionally or alternatively, the handle 7115 may also be made of hard plastic.

[0543] refer to Fig.95 and Fig.96 , Fig.95 and Fig.96 Schematically shows Figure 1 Another stereoscopic view of the box 7110 is shown, wherein at least a portion of the second curtain 7117a is separated from the main body 7111.

[0544] like Fig.95 As shown, windows, such as a first window 7116 and a second window 7117, may be provided on one or more sides of the body 7111 to observe the pet inside the box 7110 and / or provide an opening for the pet to enter and exit the box. The first window 7116 and the second window 7117 may be provided with a first sealing member and a second sealing member, respectively, to close and / or cover the first window 7116 and the second window 7117. In one example, the first sealing member may be a first window cloth 7116a covering the first window 7116, and the second sealing member may be a second window cloth 7117a covering the second window 7117.

[0545] Specifically, in one example, the first window 7116 is disposed on the first sub-support 71111a and / or the second sub-support 71111b of the side support 71111 of the body 7111, and is provided with a first window cloth 7116a for covering and shielding the first window 7116. Optionally, the first window cloth 7116a may be fixedly connected to the first window 7116 (e.g., its window frame), that is, the first window 7116 cannot be opened, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the first window cloth 7116a may also be detachably connected to the first window 7116. For example, the first window cloth 7116a may have a transparent material and / or a breathable material, or specifically, the first window cloth 7116a may have a mesh structure.

[0546] In addition, the second window 7117 can be provided on the upper support member 71112 of the body 7111, for example, the upper support member 71112 is located at the side of the box body 7110, and is provided with a second curtain 7117a for covering and shielding the second window 7117. Fig.95 As shown, the second window 7117 may extend downward from the upper support member 71112 (e.g., the third sheet member 1112c) to the connecting piece 71111c, and further, a portion of the second window 7117 may be located at the connecting piece 71111c of the side support member 71111. There is a certain distance between the lower edge of the second window 7117 and the bottom edge of the body 7111, that is, at least a portion of the connecting piece 71111c is retained, so that the bottom edges of the first sub-support member 71111a and the second sub-support member 71111b of the side support member 71111 remain connected, thereby being more conducive to folding and unfolding the body 7111, and connecting the body 7111 to the bottom support member 7112 and disassembling it from the bottom support member 7112. It should be understood that, although not shown, the second window 7117 may also be entirely located on the upper support member 71112 (ie, not extending to the connecting piece 71111c ), for example, on the third sheet member 71112c of the upper support member 71112 .

[0547] In one example, if Fig.95 As shown, the second window cloth 7117a is connected to and covers the second window 7117 (for example, connected to its window frame), and at least a portion of the second window cloth 7117a can be opened relative to the second window 7117. In a preferred embodiment, a portion of the second window cloth 7117a is detachably connected to the second window 7117, while another portion is non-detachably connected to the second window 7117. For example, the upper side of the second window cloth 7117a is fixedly connected to the second window 7117, while the other portion can be detachably connected to the second window 7117, so that the second window cloth 7117a can be folded upward to open the second window 7117.

[0548] In one example, the second window cloth 7117a may have a transparent material or a mesh structure. Optionally or alternatively, the second window cloth 7117a may have different materials or thicknesses, for example, a portion thereof may be made of a transparent material and / or a breathable material (specifically, a mesh structure may be used), while the remaining portion may be set to other materials, such as the same material as the other portions of the body 7111. In addition, different portions of the second window cloth 7117a having different materials and / or thicknesses may be connected to the body 7111 in different ways, for example, a portion thereof may be detachably connected to the body 7111, while another portion may be non-detachably connected to the body 7111. Optionally, the different materials of the second window cloth 7117a may be integrated into one, that is, the second window cloth 7117a is a single component.

[0549] For example, Fig.95 and Fig.96 As shown, the second window cloth 7117a has a first part 71171a and a second part 71172a connected to each other. The first part 71171a may have a transparent and / or breathable material (e.g., a mesh structure) and cover a portion of the second window 7117. At least a portion of the first part 71171a may be fixedly (such as non-detachably) connected to the body 7111. Specifically, the first part 71171a may be located at the upper part of the second window 7117 close to the top surface of the body 7111, and its upper end is fixedly connected to the upper edge of the second window 7117. The second part 71172a may have a different material and / or thickness from the first part 71171a, such as an opaque material and / or thicker than the first part 71171a, and may be detachably connected to the body 7111 through a flexible connection structure, and may be specifically connected to the lower side of the first part 71171a to cover another portion of the second window 7117.

[0550] In addition, if Fig.95 As shown, the first window cloth 7116a and / or the second window cloth 7117a can be a flexible cloth, such as a mesh cloth, a sponge cloth, etc. However, it should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the first window cloth 7116a and / or the second window cloth 7117a can also be other forms of cloth or flexible materials, that is, materials that can be bent or folded. In one example, the first window cloth 7116a and / or the second window cloth 7117a can be closed and at least partially opened by a zipper structure (or other flexible detachable connection structure), and the zipper structure can be composed of one zipper or two zippers that are pulled apart in opposite directions (such as Figure 4 shown).

[0551] It should be noted that the window and / or closure member disclosed in the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and the functions and opening and closing methods of the first window 7116 and the second window 7117 can be consistent or interchangeable, and the functions, materials and connection methods with the corresponding windows of the first window cloth 7116a and the second window cloth 7117a can also be consistent or interchangeable.

[0552] Furthermore, anti-collision material may be provided in the box 7110, for example, on any side of the main body 7111 of the box 7110, that is, not limited to the sides of the main body 7111, but may also include the top surface and / or the bottom surface. When the box 7110 is placed on a vehicle seat, the anti-collision material may be provided at least on one side of the main body 7111 close to the vehicle door, so as to further improve the safety of the pet in the box 7110. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the anti-collision material may also be provided on each side of the main body 7111, or on one side of the main body 7111 close to the vehicle door and on the opposite side thereof, and may have a certain thickness. Specifically, the anti-collision material may be a buffer. The buffer body can be constructed as a separate component, for example, it can be a separately formed buffer block, and then the buffer block is wrapped with a cloth bag, and sewn into the seat bag, and then fixed to the seat cloth (i.e., the seat cloth covering the body 7111, not shown in the figure) on any side of the box 7110 (e.g., the side close to the door and optionally the opposite side thereof) by sewing (fixed connection) or hook and loop fasteners or hidden buttons (detachable connection). For example, corresponding hook and loop fasteners or hidden buttons are provided on the cloth bag covering the buffer block and on any side of the box 7110 (specifically, the seat cloth covering the box 7110) so that the buffer body can be provided as needed, which helps to control the cost of the vehicle and is easy to clean and maintain. That is, only one buffer body can be provided, for example, on the side of the box 7110 close to the door; or multiple buffer bodies can be provided, for example, on the side of the box 7110 close to the door and the opposite side thereof, or on each side of the box 7110. Specifically, the buffer body is a flexible material, for example, a foam body, a plastic body, or an elastomer, wherein the foam body can be an inert memory foam, EPP, EPS, EPE, or a combination thereof, or a foam material combined with a PE board, etc., and its thickness can be between 720 mm and 760 mm, preferably 740 mm, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto; the plastic body can be a PC / PP / ABS plastic block, etc.; and the elastomer can be a silicone, a spring, or a shrapnel, etc., but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Such a buffer body not only provides a good buffering effect, but also facilitates processing and subsequent production and assembly, and can reduce production costs. Optionally or alternatively, the anti-collision material can be constructed as a filling material filled in the seat cloth.

[0553] In one example, at least a portion of the anti-collision material is detachably connected to the box 7110. In a specific embodiment, as Fig.96As shown, the anti-collision material can be disposed at the second window cloth 7117a (e.g., the second portion 71172a thereof), that is, at least partially detachably connected to the box body 7110 along with the second window cloth 7117a. Optionally or alternatively, the anti-collision material can be constructed as a filling material filled in the second portion 71172a of the second window cloth 7117a, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the two can also be separate structures and joined together.

[0554] refer to Fig.97 , Fig.97 A perspective view of a carrier installed on a vehicle seat according to an embodiment of the fourth aspect of the present disclosure is schematically shown. For ease of explanation, the installation process of the carrier and the vehicle seat is described below using the box 7110 as an example. However, it should be clear that in the case of no structural conflict, the process can also be applied to the carriers of the various embodiments of the first and second aspects described above.

[0555] like Fig.97 As shown, the box 7110 of the carrier can be fixed to the vehicle using a fixing belt assembly 7300. When the carrier needs to be fixed to the vehicle seat, as shown in FIG. Fig.15 As shown in the assembly diagram of , after the box 7110 of the carrier is placed on the vehicle seat, one end of the fixing belt assembly 7300 is connected to the corresponding interface (e.g., Top Tether interface) of the vehicle seat through a connector, and the other end of the fixing belt assembly 7300 passes through the handle 7115 provided on the top side of the box 7110, bypasses the front side of the box 7110, and is connected to another corresponding interface (e.g., ISOFIX interface) of the vehicle seat through the bottom of the box 7110, thereby further limiting the lateral sliding, tilting, etc. of the box 7110 of the carrier to more firmly fix the carrier. It should be understood that the fixing belt assembly 7300 may not pass through the handle, or in the case where the handle is not provided, other devices (e.g., belt guide mechanisms) may be provided on the carrier to limit the lateral movement of the fixing belt assembly, but this is not described in detail in the present disclosure.

[0556] The second embodiment of the fourth aspect of the present disclosure also provides a carrier.

[0557] refer to Fig.98 and Fig.99 , Fig.98 The box 7210 of the carrier according to the second embodiment of the fourth aspect of the present disclosure is shown, and Fig.99 Show Fig.98 Another stereoscopic view of the box 7210 is shown, wherein a window 7217 on one side of the box 7210 is in an open state.

[0558] like Fig.98As shown, similar to the box 7110 in the previous embodiment, the box 7210 of the carrier in this embodiment includes a body 7211 and a bottom support 7212. The body 7211 constitutes the four side surfaces and the top surface of the box 7210, the bottom support 7212 constitutes the bottom of the box 7210, and the body 7211 is detachably connected and covered on the bottom support 7212 to form a storage space for carrying a pet with the bottom support 7212. Specifically, as shown in FIG. Fig.98 As shown, the body 7211 includes a first support member and a second support member, such as a side support member 72111 and an upper support member 72112, wherein the side support member 72111 includes a first sub-support member 72111a and a second sub-support member 72111b, which respectively constitute two opposite sides of the body 7211. The upper support member 72112 includes a first sheet member 72112a, a second sheet member 72112b and a third sheet member 72112c connected together, the second sheet member 72112b constitutes the top surface of the body 7211, and the first sheet member 72112a and the third sheet member 72112c respectively constitute at least a part of the other two opposite sides.

[0559] In one example, the side support member 72111 and the upper support member 72112 can be at least partially detachably connected to each other through at least one connecting assembly. For example, a portion of the first sub-support member 72111a and a portion of the second sub-support member 72111b of the side support member 72111 can be fixedly (e.g., non-detachably) connected to both sides of the upper support member 72112, respectively, and the other portion of each of the two can be detachably connected to the upper support member 72112 through a second connecting assembly. Specifically, each second connecting assembly can include a third connecting member 72118 and a fourth connecting member 72119 that are detachably connected to each other, wherein the third connecting member 72118 is disposed on the side edge of the upper support member 72112 and extends along a portion of the side edge, and the fourth connecting member 72119 is disposed at a corresponding position of the top edge of the side support member 72111 (i.e., the first sub-support member 72111a or the second sub-support member 72111b). Optionally, the third connecting members 72118 disposed on the two sides of the upper support member 72112 are symmetrically disposed, that is, the two second connecting components are symmetrically disposed relative to the box body 7210. Although not shown, in other examples, the side support member 72111 and the upper support member 72112 can also be completely separated from each other by the connecting component, which is not described in detail in the present disclosure.

[0560] In addition, windows may be provided on one or more sides of the main body 7211 to allow observation of the pet inside the box 7210 and / or to provide an opening for the pet to enter and exit the box.

[0561] In one example, if Fig.98As shown, a first window 7216 may be provided on the side support 72111 of the body 7211. For example, the first window 7216 may be provided on the first sub-support 72111a and / or the second sub-support 72111b of the side support 72111, that is, corresponding to the front side and / or the rear side of the box body 7210 when placed in the vehicle, and is configured to be covered by a first sealing member (e.g., a first window cloth 7216a). Optionally, the first window cloth 7216a may be fixedly connected to the first window 7216, or detachably connected to the first window 7216. The first window cloth 7216a may have a transparent material and / or a breathable material, such as a breathable mesh, so that air can circulate inside and outside the box body 7210 and the user can observe the internal situation of the box body 7210.

[0562] In an optional or alternative example, if Fig.98 As shown, a second window 7217 may be provided at a position of the upper support member 72112 located on the side of the box body 7210, and the second window 7217 is configured to be covered by a second sealing member, for example, the second sealing member may include a second window cloth and / or a side door 7217b. At least a portion of the second sealing member is detachably connected to the body 7211. In one example, a portion of the second sealing member may be fixedly connected to the body 7211, for example, at least a portion of one side of the window frame of the second window 7217, while the other portion may be detachably connected to the second window 7217 via a flexible detachable connection structure (for example, a zipper structure), so that the second sealing member can be opened laterally relative to the second window 7217 (see FIG. 2 ).

The second sealing member may be made of a transparent material and / or a breathable material, a light-shielding material, or the same material as other parts of the body 7211 (e.g., a seat cloth), and the second sealing member may be made of a flexible material or a hard material. In this embodiment, the flexible detachable connection structure may be a zipper structure. Specifically, for example Fig.98 As shown, the zipper structure can be composed of a zipper extending along a portion of the periphery of the window 7217 (i.e., the zipper structure has a single zipper head), but the present disclosure is not limited to this. The zipper structure can also be changed to consist of two zippers that are pulled open in opposite directions (i.e., the zipper structure has a double zipper head) as needed.

[0563] Specifically, only one second window 7217 may be provided, for example, located on one side of the body 7211 (such as the left side or the right side), and a second sealing member for shielding or closing the second window 7217 may be provided. The second sealing member may be a second window cloth (such as a breathable material or a mesh material) or a side door. Optionally or alternatively, two second windows 7217 may be provided, respectively located on opposite sides of the body 7211 (i.e., the left side and the right side). Correspondingly, the two second windows 7217 may be provided with corresponding second sealing members, respectively, and the two second sealing members may have the same material or different materials. For example, one of the second sealing members may be a second window cloth, such as a breathable mesh cloth; and the other sealing member may be a side door 7217b, which may be used for pets to enter and exit the box, etc. When the box 7210 is placed on a vehicle seat, the side door 7217b may be located on a side close to the vehicle door. The side door 7217b may be coated with the same material as the seat cloth of the body 7211. It should be noted that the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments, and the positions of the second sealing members on both sides of the body 7211 can be interchanged and can have the same material.

[0564] Furthermore, an anti-collision material may be provided in the box 7210. The anti-collision material may have a certain thickness and may be provided on either side of the main body 7211 of the box 7210 to enhance the safety of the pet in the box 7210. In a specific example, Fig.98 and Fig.99 As shown, the anti-collision material can be set in the side door 7217b, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. The anti-collision material can also be set on each side of the body 7211, or two opposite sides of the body 7211 (for example, a side close to the door and its opposite side). Specifically, the anti-collision material can be a buffer body, and the buffer body can be made of a foam body and / or a plastic body and / or an elastomer. The specific materials can be similar to the aforementioned embodiments, so they are not repeated here. In addition, the buffer body can be constructed as a separately formed buffer block, and then coated and fixed (for example, sewn) in the seat cloth at the side door 7217b, or sewn in a cloth bag and detachably fixed to the side door 7217b by Velcro or hidden buttons. By providing such an anti-collision material, a better buffering effect can be provided for the pet in the box when the vehicle is accidentally collided, especially when its side is impacted, thereby better protecting the pet.
