[0125] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0126] Figure 1 The carrier 100 according to the present disclosure is shown positioned on a base 200 which is mounted on a vehicle 300 .

[0127] It should be noted that, although the carrier 100 shown in the drawings is a pet box and the carrier 300 is a pet cart, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the carrier 100 according to the present disclosure can be used to carry animals or carry articles. The carrier 300 according to the present disclosure can be used to carry animals or carry articles, including but not limited to pet carts, grocery carts, camping carts, etc.

[0128] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the carrier 100 according to the present disclosure includes a box portion 110 and a connecting rod 120 .

[0129] The box body 110 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped container. However, it should be understood that the box body 110 can be a container of other shapes.

[0130] In such Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the box body 110 may include a plurality of ventilation holes 114 extending therethrough. The ventilation holes 114 may be distributed on the sidewall of the box body 110 to improve the ventilation property of the box body 110.

[0131] In such Fig.15 and Fig.16In the illustrated embodiment, the box portion 110 may also include an anchoring connector 400 that can engage with a corresponding fitting on a vehicle seat to secure the carrier 100 to the vehicle seat.

[0132] The anchor connector 400 may be located in a position where it is stored in the housing 110 (see Fig.15 ) and the position of the extended box body 110 (see Fig.16 ), the box body 110 may include an anchor joint operating member 410 for controlling the anchor joint 400 to move from a position accommodated in the box body 110 to a position extending out of the box body 110.

[0133] The box body 110 according to the present disclosure may be placed on the base 200 to obtain a more stable support, or may be connected to a vehicle 300 or other bearing structures such as a bracket through the base 200 .

[0134] Related structures of connecting rods

[0135] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the connecting rod 120 according to the present disclosure is movably connected to the box body 110. The connecting rod 120 can move between the engagement position and the storage position, and the connecting rod 120 can be connected to the connecting member 210 (see FIG. 2 ) disposed on the base 200 when in the engagement position. Figures 8 to 14B ) are engaged, so that the box body 110 is fixed to the base 200.

[0136] It should be understood that the number of the connecting rods 120 can be one or more. Two connecting rods 120 are taken as an example herein, but are not limited thereto.

[0137] In addition, since the related structures of the two connecting rods 120 are the same, for the sake of convenience, this article mainly describes the related structure of one of the connecting rods 120.

[0138] In such Figures 3 to 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting rod 120 is connected to the box bottom 110 of the box body 110 , so as to facilitate the connection between the connecting rod 120 and the connecting member 210 on the base 200 .

[0139] In addition, if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the box bottom 111 of the box body 110 may be provided with a box body recess 112, so that the connecting rod 120 is stored in the box body recess 112 when in the storage position. Thus, the box bottom 111 may be planar, and when the box body 110 is fixed to the base 200, the box bottom 111 may contact the upper surface of the base 200 in a face-to-face manner, so that the box body 110 is more firmly supported.

[0140] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, the bottom 111 of the box body 110 may also be provided with an escape recess 113, which is arranged so that the connecting rod 120 can be conveniently driven to leave the storage position. For example, when the connecting rod 120 in the storage position is stored in the box body recess 112, since the shape and size of the box body recess 112 correspond to the shape and size of the connecting rod 120, it is inconvenient for the user to apply a force to the connecting rod 120. By providing the escape recess 113 with an opening size much larger than the diameter of the connecting rod 120, the user's fingers will easily apply a force to the connecting rod 120, thereby facilitating it to leave the storage position. The escape recess 113 may be communicated with the box body recess 112.

[0141] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The connecting rod 120 may be connected to other parts of the box body 110, such as the side wall, as long as it can move between the engaging position and the storage position.

[0142] The connecting rod 120 may be directly or indirectly connected to the box body 110 .

[0143] In such Figures 3 to 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting rod 120 may be movably connected to the box body 110 via a connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism may include a pivot arm 130, a first end 131 of which is connected to the connecting rod 120, and a second end 132 of which is pivotally connected to the box body 110.

[0144] like Figure 7 As shown, an arm fixing hole is provided on the first end 131 of the pivot arm 130 , and a screw, a rivet or other fasteners can pass through the arm fixing hole to connect the pivot arm 130 and the connecting rod 120 together.

[0145] Of course, if the pivot arm 130 is formed integrally with the connecting rod 120 so that the connecting rod 120 is formed as a U-shaped rod, it can be said that the connecting rod 120 is directly connected to the box portion 110 .

[0146] In such Figures 3 to 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the connection mechanism may further include a pivot arm fixing seat 140 , which may be fixed to the bottom 111 of the box body 110 , or may be fixed to other parts of the box body 110 as required.

[0147] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the pivot arm fixing seat 140 is provided with a seat fixing hole, and screws, rivets or other fasteners can pass through the seat fixing hole to fix the pivot arm fixing seat 140 to the box body 110.

[0148] The second end 132 of the pivot arm 130 can be pivotally connected to the pivot arm fixing seat 140, so that the pivot arm 130 is connected to the box body 110 via the pivot arm fixing seat 140. Since the connection portion between the connecting rod 120 and the box body 110 will wear out after long-term use, by providing the pivot arm 130 and the pivot arm fixing seat 140, the user only needs to replace the pivot arm 130 and the pivot arm fixing seat 140 without replacing the entire box body 110.

[0149] Next, a structure capable of maintaining the connection rod 120 at the engaging position or the stored position will be described.

[0150] In such Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, a pivot limiter 150 may be provided between the second end 132 of the pivot arm 130 and the pivot arm fixing seat 140, which may be configured to be unable to rotate relative to the second end 132 of the pivot arm 130, but to be able to rotate relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140, and to be able to be maintained in an engaged rotation position or a stored rotation position relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140, thereby maintaining the connecting rod 120 in the engaged position or the stored position.

[0151] Of course, the pivot limiter 150 can also be configured to be unable to rotate relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140, but able to rotate relative to the second end 132 of the pivot arm 130, and able to remain in the engaged rotation position or the stored rotation position relative to the second end 132 of the pivot arm 130.

[0152] In such Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, connecting holes can be respectively formed on the second end 132 of the pivot arm 130, the pivot limiter 150 and the pivot arm fixing seat 140, and the second end 132 of the pivot arm 130, the pivot limiter 150 and the pivot arm fixing seat 140 are connected together by passing screws, rivets or pins therethrough.

[0153] In another embodiment, the pivot limiter 150 may be formed as one body with the second end 132 of the pivot arm 130 and one of the pivot arm fixing seat 140, and the technical effect that the pivot limiter 150 cannot rotate relative to the one may also be achieved.

[0154] like Figure 7 As shown, the second end 132 of the pivot arm 130 is provided with a limiting straight tooth groove 133, and the side of the pivot limiting member 150 facing the pivot arm 130 is provided with a limiting straight tooth 151. The limiting straight tooth groove 133 and the limiting straight tooth 151 cooperate with each other, so that the pivot limiting member 150 cannot rotate relative to the second end 132 of the pivot arm 130.

[0155] Of course, the positions of the limiting straight tooth groove 133 and the limiting straight tooth 151 can be interchanged. For example, the second end 132 of the pivot arm 130 is provided with a limiting straight tooth 151, and the side of the pivot limiting member 150 facing the pivot arm 130 is provided with a limiting straight tooth groove 133. This method can also achieve the technical effect that the pivot limiting member 150 cannot rotate relative to the second end 132 of the pivot arm 130.

[0156] like Figure 6 As shown, the pivot arm fixing seat 140 is provided with a plurality of limiting helical tooth grooves 141. Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of limiting helical teeth 152 are provided on one side of the pivot limiter 150 facing the pivot arm fixing seat 140. The limiting helical teeth grooves 141 cooperate with the limiting helical teeth 152, so that the pivot limiter 150 can rotate relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140 and can be maintained at different rotation positions.

[0157] The cooperation between the limiting helical teeth 152 and the limiting helical tooth grooves 141 can keep the pivot limiting member 150 at a rotation position relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140, and will not rotate at will. However, since the plurality of limiting helical tooth grooves 141 and the plurality of limiting helical teeth 152 are respectively located on the side surfaces of the pivot arm fixing seat 140 and the pivot limiting member 150, and the contact surfaces of the two are contact inclined surfaces, and are inclined relative to the axial direction of the pivot limiting member 150, when the pivot limiting member 150 is subjected to a driving force and has a tendency to rotate around its axial direction, the contact inclined surfaces between the limiting helical teeth 152 and the limiting helical tooth grooves 141 will generate an interaction force along the axial direction, and the interaction force makes the pivot limiting member 150 and the pivot arm fixing seat 140 have a tendency to move away from each other. When the driving force applied to the pivot stopper 150 increases to a certain extent, the interaction force between the limiting bevel teeth 152 and the limiting bevel tooth grooves 141 increases to a certain extent, and finally forces the pivot stopper 150 and the pivot arm fixing seat 140 to move away from each other, until the limiting bevel teeth 152 disengages from the matching limiting bevel tooth grooves 141, thereby causing the pivot stopper 150 to rotate relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140. Then, after the pivot stopper 150 rotates a certain angle relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140, the limiting bevel teeth 152 may engage with another limiting bevel tooth groove 141, or the limiting bevel teeth 152 may engage with the previously matched limiting bevel tooth grooves 141 again (for example, the pivot stopper 150 rotates 360 degrees relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140), so that the pivot stopper 150 is again kept in a rotation position relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140.

[0158] A limiter reset device (not shown) may be provided on the opposite side of the pivot limiter 150 relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140 or other suitable positions, and the limiter reset device is configured to tend to press the pivot limiter 150 against the pivot arm fixing seat 140, thereby ensuring that the limiter bevel teeth 152 are engaged with the limiter bevel tooth grooves 141, which is conducive to the pivot limiter 150 being kept in a rotational position relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140. The limiter reset device may be an elastic member such as a spring, a gas pressure rod or a hydraulic rod.

[0159] The number of the plurality of position-limiting bevel grooves 141 and the number of the plurality of position-limiting bevel teeth 152 may be the same or different.

[0160] When the limiting bevel tooth grooves 141 and the limiting bevel teeth 152 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction and the number of the two is the same, the pivot limiter 150 can be maintained at a plurality of different rotation positions relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140, and the number of rotation positions is the same as the number of the limiting bevel tooth grooves 141 and the number of the limiting bevel teeth 152.

[0161] When the number of the limiting helical tooth grooves 141 and the number of the limiting helical teeth 152 are different, the pivot limiting member 150 can be maintained at one or several designated rotation positions relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140 .

[0162] For example, the plurality of limiting helical teeth 152 may be provided in two or two groups (see Figure 7 ), the plurality of limiting helical tooth grooves 141 can be arranged to be able to form two (see Figure 6 ), each limiting bevel tooth groove 141 can engage with one of the limiting bevel teeth 152 or one group of limiting bevel teeth 152, so that the pivot limiting member 150 can be maintained at two rotation positions relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140.

[0163] The two rotation positions may be an engagement rotation position and a storage rotation position. When the pivot stopper 150 is held in the engagement rotation position relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140, the connecting rod 120 is held in the engagement position. When the pivot stopper 150 is held in the storage rotation position relative to the pivot arm fixing seat 140, the connecting rod 120 is held in the storage position.

[0164] Locking and releasing the connecting rod

[0165] Next, a structure that enables the connection rod 120 to be locked and unlocked at the storage position will be described.

[0166] like Figures 15 to 24B As shown, the box body 110 may be provided with a connecting rod locking member 170, which can move between a locking position and a releasing position. When the connecting rod locking member 170 is in the locking position, it can lock the connecting rod 120 in the storage position (such as Fig.23A and Fig. 23B ), the connecting rod 120 can be released when in the unlocking position (as shown in FIG. Fig.24A and Fig. 24B shown).

[0167] like Fig.15 and Fig.16 As shown, the connecting rod 120 is movably connected to the box body 110 through the pivot arm 130 , the first end 131 of the pivot arm 130 is connected to the connecting rod 120 , and the second end 132 of the pivot arm 130 is pivotally connected to the box body 110 .

[0168] So, in FIG. 17A to FIG. 20B In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting rod locking member 170 is capable of locking and unlocking the connecting rod 120 via the pivot arm 130 .

[0169] In one embodiment, if FIG. 19A to FIG. 20B As shown, the second end 132 of the pivot arm 130 is provided with a pivot portion 134 that can be pivotally arranged on the box body 110, and a pivot portion communication groove 134A is provided on the pivot portion 134. Correspondingly, the connecting rod locking member 170 is provided with a locking member protrusion 171 that can be inserted into the pivot portion communication groove 134A.

[0170] The pivoting portion connecting groove 134A and the locking member protrusion 171 cooperate in such a manner that when the connecting rod 120 is in the storage position, Fig.23A and Fig. 23B As shown, when the connecting rod locking member 170 moves to the locking position, the locking member protrusion 171 of the connecting rod locking member 170 is inserted into the pivot portion communicating groove 134A to lock the connecting rod 120 in the storage position; as shown in FIG. Fig.24A and Fig. 24B As shown, when the connecting rod locking member 170 moves to the unlocking position, the locking member protrusion 171 of the connecting rod locking member 170 withdraws from the pivot portion communicating groove 134A to unlock the connecting rod 120, so that the connecting rod 120 can move away from the storage position.

[0171] It should be understood that the connecting rod locking member 170 according to the present disclosure can adopt other ways to lock and unlock the connecting rod 120. For example, in an embodiment in which the connecting rod 120 slides between the storage position and the engagement position, a hanging ring can be provided at the end of the connecting rod 120, and the connecting rod locking member 170 can be provided with a hook. When the connecting rod 120 is located at the storage position, the hook of the connecting rod locking member 170 can hook the hanging ring of the connecting rod 120, thereby preventing the connecting rod 120 from leaving the storage position. When the connecting rod locking member 170 is operated so that its hook is disengaged from the hanging ring of the connecting rod 120, the connecting rod 120 will be able to leave the storage position.

[0172] In such FIG. 19A to FIG. 20BIn the illustrated embodiment, a pivot arm reset device 135 may be provided between the housing 110 and the pivot arm 130, which is configured to tend to move the connecting rod 120 to the engaged position. Thus, once the connecting rod locking member 170 releases the connecting rod 120, the pivot arm reset device 135 will drive the connecting rod 120 to automatically leave the storage position and move to the engaged position without requiring any operation by the user.

[0173] In such FIG. 17A to FIG. 18B and Fig. 20A , Fig. 20B In the illustrated embodiment, the box body 110 may be provided with a pivot arm fixing seat 140 , and the pivot portion 134 of the pivot arm 130 may be pivotally accommodated in the pivot arm fixing seat 140 .

[0174] like Fig. 20A and Fig. 20B As shown, the pivot arm fixing seat 140 may be provided with a fixing seat opening slot 142 , so that the locking member protrusion 171 of the connecting rod locking member 170 can pass through the fixing seat opening slot 142 and be inserted into the pivot portion communicating slot 134A.

[0175] In other embodiments, the box body 110 may not be provided with the pivot arm fixing seat 140 , and the pivot portion 134 of the pivot arm 130 may be directly pivotally disposed on the box body 110 .

[0176] In such Fig. 20A and Fig. 20B In the illustrated embodiment, a pivot limit member 150 may be accommodated in the pivot portion 134 of the pivot arm 130, and a limit member locking groove 153 may be provided thereon, so that the locking member protrusion 171 of the connecting rod locking member 170 can pass through the fixing seat opening groove 142 and the pivot portion connecting groove 134A and be inserted into the limit member locking groove 153.

[0177] It should be noted that the pivot limiter 150 in this embodiment may be structurally the same as or different from the aforementioned pivot limiter 150 . Moreover, the limiter locking groove 153 on the pivot limiter 150 may be formed by the gap between two adjacent limit spur teeth 151 .

[0178] In order to facilitate the user to operate the connecting rod locking member 170 to move it from the locking position to the unlocking position, Figures 15 to 24B In the embodiment shown, the housing 110 may further be provided with a connecting rod operating member 160, which can be operated to move between an initial position and a driving position relative to the housing 110. Fig.18B During the movement from the initial position to the driving position as shown by the arrow, the connecting rod locking member 170 can be driven to move from the locking position to the unlocking position.

[0179] In such Figures 21 to 24B In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting rod locking member 170 may be provided with a locking member driving column 172. Correspondingly, the connecting rod operating member 160 may be provided with an operating member driving groove 161 through which the locking member driving column 172 passes. The operating member driving groove 161 applies a force to the locking member driving column 172, so that the connecting rod operating member 160 can drive the connecting rod locking member 170.

[0180] In this embodiment, the movement direction of the connecting rod operating member 160 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the connecting rod locking member 170. In order to change the movement direction, a driving inclined surface 161A may be provided on the operating member driving groove 161. Figures 21 to 24B As shown, the driving inclined surface 161A can be configured so that when the connecting rod operating member 160 is in the Fig.18B During the movement from the initial position to the driving position as shown by the arrow, the driving slope 161A can apply a force to the locking member driving column 172 to drive the connecting rod locking member 170 from the locking position to the unlocking position.

[0181] It should be noted that in Figures 21 to 24B In the illustrated embodiment, the operating member driving groove 161 is in the shape of a right triangle, and the hypotenuse of the right triangle constitutes a driving inclined surface 161A. Therefore, in the process of the connecting rod operating member 160 returning from the driving position to the initial position, the operating member driving groove 161 will not exert an action force on the locking member driving column 172, that is, there will be no interaction between the operating member driving groove 161 and the locking member driving column 172, so that the connecting rod operating member 160 will not drive the connecting rod locking member 170 from the unlocking position to the locking position, and the connecting rod operating member 160 will not be affected by the connecting rod locking member 170 when returning from the driving position to the initial position. The advantage of this design is that after the connecting rod operating member 160 drives the connecting rod locking member 170 to the unlocking position, the connecting rod operating member 160 can return to the initial position regardless of whether the connecting rod locking member 170 returns to the locking position, thereby preventing the connecting rod operating member 160 from being unable to return to the initial position due to the influence of the connecting rod locking member 170 and protruding from the box body 110.

[0182] In this case, in order to enable the connecting rod locking member 170 to move to the locked position, a locking member reset device (not shown) can be provided, which is configured to tend to move the connecting rod locking member 170 to the locked position. The locking member reset device can be an elastic member such as a spring, a gas pressure rod or a hydraulic rod. Thus, the connecting rod locking member 170 can automatically move to the locked position without user operation. The locking member reset device is also conducive to ensuring that the connecting rod locking member 170 locks the connecting rod 120 in the storage position.

[0183] In another embodiment, the operating member driving groove 161 can be formed as an oblique long groove, so that when the connecting rod operating member 160 moves between the initial position and the driving position, the operating member driving groove 161 can apply a force to the locking member driving column 172 to drive the connecting rod locking member 170 to move accordingly between the locking position and the releasing position.

[0184] In such Figures 21 to 24B In the illustrated embodiment, the box body 110 may be provided with a limiting boss 115, and the connecting rod operating member 160 may be provided with an operating member limiting groove 162 that cooperates with the limiting boss 115. Through the cooperation between the limiting boss 115 and the operating member limiting groove 162, the movement of the connecting rod operating member 160 between the initial position and the driving position can be controlled.

[0185] Of course, the positions of the limiting boss 115 and the operating member limiting groove 162 can be interchanged. For example, the box body 110 can be provided with an operating member limiting groove 162, and the connecting rod operating member 160 can be provided with a limiting boss 115. This method can also achieve the technical effect of controlling the movement of the connecting rod operating member 160.

[0186] like Figures 21 to 24B As shown, an operating member resetting device 163 may be provided between the box body 110 and the connecting rod operating member 160 , which is configured to tend to move the connecting rod operating member 160 to an initial position.

[0187] Of course, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0188] In other embodiments, the connecting rod operating member 160 may not be provided, and other methods may be adopted to drive the connecting rod locking member 170 to move between the locking position and the unlocking position. For example, the connecting rod locking member 170 may have an operating portion exposed from the box body 110, and the user may directly drive the connecting rod locking member 170 to move between the locking position and the unlocking position through the operating portion.

[0189] Base

[0190] like Figures 12 to 14B As shown, the carrier 100 can be placed on the base 200 . Moreover, the base 200 according to the present disclosure can be provided with a connecting member 210 , which can be engaged with the connecting rod 120 on the carrier 100 as described above, so that the carrier 100 is placed on the base 200 .

[0191] Figures 8 to 14B A first embodiment of the cooperation between the carrier 100 and the base 200 according to the present disclosure is shown.

[0192] like Figures 8 to 11BAs shown, the base 200 is provided with a connecting groove 220 into which the connecting rod 200 can enter.

[0193] The position of the connecting groove 220 may correspond to the position of the connecting rod 200 in the engaged position.

[0194] The number of the connecting grooves 220 may be equal to or greater than the number of the connecting bars 200 .

[0195] The connecting member 210 may be disposed in the base 200 and may be movable between a blocking position and a non-blocking position. Fig.13A and Fig. 13B As shown, when the connecting member 210 is in the blocking position, it is partially exposed from the connecting groove 220, so as to prevent the connecting rod 120 located in the connecting groove 220 from leaving the connecting groove 220. Fig.14A and Fig. 14B As shown, when the connecting member 210 is in the non-blocking position, it moves away from the connecting groove 220 , thereby allowing the connecting rod 120 to enter and exit the connecting groove 220 .

[0196] In such Figures 8 to 11B In the illustrated embodiment, a base release member 230 may be provided on the base 200 , which is configured to be operable to drive the connecting member 210 to move to a non-blocking position.

[0197] The base release member 230 may be directly connected to and drive the connection member 210 , or may indirectly drive the connection member 210 via an intermediate member.

[0198] In such FIG. 9A to FIG. 11B and FIG. 13A to FIG. 14B In the illustrated embodiment, the base 200 may be provided with a connection member reset device 212, which is configured to tend to move the connection member 210 to the blocking position. Thus, after the connection rod 200 enters the connection groove 220, the connection member 210 can continuously block the connection rod 120 located in the connection groove 220 from leaving the connection groove 220, thereby preventing the carrier 100 from accidentally detaching from the base 200. In addition, after the user operates the base release member 230 to move the connection member 210 to the non-blocking position, the connection member 210 can be moved to the blocking position under the action of the connection member reset device 212 without the need for user operation.

[0199] In such Fig.10 , Fig.11A , Fig. 11BIn the illustrated embodiment, the end of the connecting member 210 may be provided with a connecting member inclined surface 211, which is configured such that the force applied by the connecting rod 120 to the connecting member inclined surface 211 when entering the connecting groove 220 can drive the connecting member 210 to move to the non-blocking position. Thus, when the user places the carrier 100 on the base 200, the connecting rod 120 can easily enter the connecting groove 220 without the user having to perform an operation to move the connecting member 210 to the non-blocking position.

[0200] FIG. 25A to FIG. 25E A second embodiment of the cooperation between a vehicle 1300 and a base 1390 according to the present disclosure is shown, which schematically show a traveling device 13 according to the present disclosure in various views.

[0201] like Fig.25A and Fig.25B As shown, the traveling device 13 includes a carrier 1300 and a base 1390. The carrier 1300 may be constructed in a similar manner to the previous embodiment, including a box portion 1310 and carrying handles 1330 pivotably and detachably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 1310.

[0202] In this embodiment, the carrier 1300 further includes a pair of connecting rods 1314 connected to the outer bottom of the box body 1310, and the carrier 1300 can be mounted to the base 1390 through the connecting rods. In this embodiment, the box body 1310 includes a pair of recesses 1312 formed on the outer bottom 1311 and an actuating portion 1313 located in the center of the outer bottom 1311, and the recesses 1312 are used to respectively accommodate the pair of connecting rods 1314 therein. Preferably, the connecting rod 1314 can be U-shaped and pivotally connected to the box body 1310, with its two ends in the corresponding recesses 1312.

[0203] Reference Fig.25B and Fig.25C, the base 1390 includes a pair of connecting grooves 1392 corresponding to the pair of connecting rods 1314 of the carrier 1300. On the inner surface of each connecting groove 1392, the base 1390 includes a pair of exposed connecting members 1394. Optionally, there may be only one connecting member 1394 in each connecting groove 1392. The connecting member 1394 may be, for example, a hook or a claw, which has an opening portion that allows the connecting rod 1314 to enter to load it therein. The connecting grooves 1392 may each have an inclined surface for guiding the corresponding connecting rod 1314. On the top surface 1391, that is, the surface that contacts the outer bottom 1311 of the box body 1310, the base 1390 includes an actuating portion 1393 disposed at the center, which corresponds to the actuating portion 1313 at the center of the outer bottom 1311. Preferably, the actuating portion 1313 at the center of the outer bottom 1311 of the carrier 1300 may be recessed to cover a trigger mechanism for the connecting rod 1314 , and the actuating portion 1393 at the center of the top surface 1391 of the base 1390 may be a column.

[0204] Please refer to Fig.25D and Fig.25E , respectively showing the disconnection and connection of the carrier 1300 and the base 1390 in this embodiment. As described above, the carrier 1300 is detachably connected to the base 1390, and a pair of connecting rods 1314 are connected to the outer surface of the box body 1310. Fig.25D As shown, the connecting rods 1314 can be received in corresponding recesses 1312 on the outer bottom 1311 of the carrier 1300. When the carrier 1300 is positioned on the base 1390 for connection, the trigger mechanism in the actuating portion 1313 of the carrier can be pressed and triggered by the actuating portion 1393, so that the two connecting rods 1314 are pivoted out of the corresponding recesses 1312. Fig.25E As shown, the connecting rod 1314 can be guided to move along the inclined surface of the corresponding connecting groove 1392 to enter the corresponding connecting member 1394 through the opening portion and engage therein. Therefore, through the engagement of the connecting rod 1314 with the connecting member 1394, the carrier 1300 can be stably attached to the base 1390.

[0205] The base 200 according to the present disclosure may be mounted not only on the vehicle 300 but also on a vehicle seat.

[0206] Figure 26 to Figure 27 One embodiment of a base 200 for a vehicle seat (not shown) is shown.

[0207] In this embodiment, the base 200 may also be provided with a connecting member 210 and a connecting groove 220. The connecting member 210 and the connecting groove 220 in this embodiment may be the same as those in the aforementioned reference Figures 8 to 14BThe described connection members 210 and connection grooves 220 may be the same or different, as long as the connection members 210 can be engaged with the connection rods 120 on the carrier 100 and the connection grooves 220 can be provided for the connection rods 200 to enter therein.

[0208] In such Figure 26 to Figure 27 In the illustrated embodiment, a base release member 230 may be provided on the base 200 , and is configured to be operable to drive the connecting member 210 to move.

[0209] like Figure 26 to Figure 27 As shown, the base 200 may be provided with an anchoring joint 400 which can be engaged with a corresponding fitting on a vehicle seat to fix the base 200 to the vehicle seat, thereby making the carrier 100 mounted on the base 200 immobile relative to the vehicle seat.
