Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a vehicle, and more particularly, to a vehicle having a roof assembly, and a vehicle including a locking structure and an unlocking structure. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, more and more people use pet-carrying vehicles when they need to travel with their pets, such as sleeping baskets, sleeping boxes, etc. In order to facilitate the use of vehicles in different weather conditions and external environments, some vehicles are provided with roofs, but such roofs usually have a more complex structure and are not convenient to fold, and these roofs also hinder users from taking the pets out of the vehicles.

[0003] In addition, in the field of pets, a sleeping cot or a carrying case is a common carrier for carrying pets. In use, the sleeping cot or the carrying case can be locked to a device such as a base or a cart through a snap-fit ​​structure so as to be placed, and the sleeping cot or the carrying case can be unlocked from the base or the cart so as to be transferred by a user.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a snap-fit ​​structure and a corresponding unlocking structure between the sleeping cot or suitcase and the base. Existing unlocking parts are usually arranged on the base, so they may be located at a low position and difficult to reach, requiring the user to bend over to operate. Moreover, the position of some unlocking structures is not obvious enough, which is not convenient for users to find and operate. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a product in which the unlocking part is arranged on the sleeping cot, especially arranged at a position on the sleeping cot that is easy to find and operate.

In addition, the snap-fitting member 1231 can also cooperate with a fixing seat assembly and / or a fixing belt assembly to fix the carrier 100 on the vehicle seat (not shown in the figure).

[0247] In one example, the carrier 100 is at least partially covered with a seat cloth 150. Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the box body 110 may include a main body 111 and a seat cloth 150 wrapped around the outside of the main body 111. In this embodiment, the seat cloth 150 at least partially covers the box body 110, and the engaging member 1231 of the bracket device 120 is located outside the seat cloth 150. In another embodiment, the seat cloth 150 may also cover a portion of the bracket device 120, and the engaging member 1231 is still located outside the seat cloth 150, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. In one example, the main body 111 may be a foam body, for example, it may be made of a foam material such as expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polyethylene (EPE), and expanded ethylene (EPO).

[0248] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ceiling assembly 130 may include a ceiling frame 131 and a ceiling 133. The ceiling 133 is disposed above the box body 110 to cover the accommodating space 113 of the box body 110 (see FIG. Figure 3 ). The ceiling frame 131 is connected to the ceiling 133 and supports the ceiling 133. The ceiling frame 131 is pivotally connected to the box body 110 so that the ceiling 133 can be unfolded or folded relative to the box body 110. In other embodiments, the bracket device 120 may also include a first bracket surrounding the box body 110 (obstructed by the seat cloth 150 and not shown in the figure), and the ceiling frame 131 may be pivotally connected to the first bracket. Optionally, the first bracket may be arranged close to the opening above the box body 110, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0249] In this embodiment, the ceiling frame 131 may include a first frame 1311 and a second frame 1312. The first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 are respectively pivotally connected to the box body 110 and can pivot relative to each other to move closer or farther away. Figures 3 to 5, the first frame 1311 can pivot between a first position and a second position relative to the box body 110, wherein the first frame 1311 is substantially parallel to the upper edge 114 of the box body 110 when pivoting to its first position, and is substantially perpendicular to the upper edge 114 of the box body 110 when pivoting to its second position. Correspondingly, the second frame 1312 can also pivot between a first position and a second position relative to the box body 110, wherein the second frame 1312 is substantially parallel to the upper edge 114 of the box body 110 when pivoting to its first position, and is substantially perpendicular to the upper edge 114 of the box body 110 when pivoting to its second position. That is, when the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 are both in their respective first positions, they can be considered to be farthest from each other; and when the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 are in their respective second positions, they can be considered to be closest to each other. Of course, when the first frame 1311 or the second frame 1312 is pivoted individually, without interference, the first frame 1311 or the second frame 1312 can also pivot to other positions beyond its second position, such as continuing to pivot a certain angle beyond the second position, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0250] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the two ends of the first frame 1311 can be respectively pivoted to the two sides of the box body 110 through the first pivoting portion 1313, and the two ends of the second frame 1312 can be respectively pivoted to the two sides of the box body 110 through the second pivoting portion 1314. For example, the two ends of the first frame 1311 can be respectively arranged on the two sides of the box body 110 along the width direction D1 (i.e., two opposite long sides), and the two ends of the second frame 1312 can also be respectively arranged on the two sides of the box body 110 along the width direction D1. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 are disposed adjacent to each other, that is, the first pivot portion 1313 and the second pivot portion 1314 on the same side are adjacent to each other.

[0251] refer to Figures 3 to 5 In this embodiment, the first pivot portion 1313 and the second pivot portion 1314 may be disposed outside the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110 and located below the upper edge 114 of the box body 110 (i.e., lower than the upper edge 114). In other words, when the first frame 1311 and / or the second frame 1312 of the ceiling frame 131 pivot to the first position, they are located below the upper edge 114 of the box body 110.

[0252] The first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 may be U-shaped structures respectively, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto and may also have other shapes as long as they can surround the box body 110 when placed substantially parallel to the upper edge of the box body 110 .

[0253] In one embodiment, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the ceiling 133 includes a first shelf portion 1331 and a second shelf portion 1332. The first shelf portion 1331 and the second shelf portion 1332 can be respectively unfolded or folded relative to the box body 110. For example, the ceiling 133 of this embodiment has three use states: a full cover state, a half cover state, and a fully open state. Figure 1 As shown, when the first canopy 1331 and the second canopy 1332 are both unfolded, that is, the canopy 133 is fully unfolded, the canopy 133 is in a full-cover state. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when one of the first canopy 1331 and the second canopy 1332 is unfolded and the other is folded, the canopy 133 is in a half-cover state, and at least a portion of the accommodation space 113 of the vehicle 100 is exposed to the outside, for example, half of the accommodation space 113 is exposed to the outside. Figure 5 As shown, when the first canopy portion 1331 and the second canopy portion 1332 are both folded, that is, the roof 133 is completely folded, the roof 133 is in a fully open state, and the accommodating space 113 of the carrier 100 is completely exposed.

[0254] Usually, the user can use the full cover state during the transportation of the carrier 100 to ensure that the pet in the carrier 100 is better protected; when the user needs to carry the pet out of or into the carrier 100, the half cover state can be used; and the fully open state is the state adopted by the box 100 when it is packaged at the factory. In this state, the box 100 has a relatively small volume, so it is also suitable for the user to store the carrier 100 when it is not in use.

[0255] In this embodiment, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first shelf 1331 has a first edge 1331a and a second edge 1331b, wherein the first edge 1331a is an edge that engages with the periphery of the box body 110 when the first shelf 1331 is unfolded, and the second edge 1331b is an edge that is away from the box body 110 when the first shelf 1331 is unfolded. Correspondingly, the second shelf 1332 has a first edge 1332a and a second edge 1332b, wherein the first edge 1332a is an edge that engages with the periphery of the box body 110 when the second shelf 1332 is unfolded, and the second edge 1332b is an edge that is away from the box body 110 when the second shelf 1332 is unfolded. Figure 2As shown, when the first shed 1331 is unfolded, the first edge 1331a and the second edge 1331b of the first shed 1331 are substantially perpendicular to each other. Accordingly, when the second shed 1332 is unfolded, the first edge 1332a and the second edge 1332b of the second shed 1332 are substantially perpendicular to each other. When both the first shed 1331 and the second shed 1332 are unfolded, the second edge 1331b of the first shed 1331 and the second edge 1332b of the second shed 1332 are joined to each other to form the entire ceiling 133.

[0256] In a specific example, the first frame 1311 is connected to one of the first edge 1331a and the second edge 1331b of the first shelf 1331, and the second frame 1312 is connected to one of the first edge 1332a and the second edge 1332b of the second shelf 1332, so that the first shelf 1331 and the second shelf 1332 can be unfolded or folded relative to the box 110.

[0257] In this embodiment, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first frame 1311 is connected to the second edge 1331b of the first shed 1331, and the second frame 1312 is connected to the second edge 1332b of the second shed 1332. When the roof 133 is unfolded, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 are pivoted relative to each other and approach each other, so that the first shelf 1331 and the second shelf 1332 are approached and engaged with each other, for example, the second edge 1331b of the first shelf 1331 and the second edge 1332b of the second shelf 1332 are engaged with each other, so as to completely shield the accommodating space 113. At this time, the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 are substantially parallel to each other and substantially vertical to the box body 110 (that is, both are in the second position).

[0258] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the ceiling 133 needs to be opened to a half-cover state, that is, when the first shed portion 1331 or the second shed portion 1332 is folded, one of the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 pivots away from the other to drive the first shed portion 1331 or the second shed portion 1332 connected thereto to fold. When the ceiling 133 is in the half-cover state, one of the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 is in its first position, and the other is in its second position. Figure 5As shown, when the ceiling 133 needs to be completely folded, the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 pivot away from each other to drive the first shelf 1331 and the second shelf 1332 to fold, until the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 are both approximately horizontal (i.e., both located at the first position), forming an approximately horizontal frame surrounding the box body 110, so that the ceiling 133 (including the first shelf 1331 and the second shelf 1332) is completely folded, so that the accommodating space 113 is completely exposed to the outside. Figures 3 to 5 As shown, when the first shelf 1331 and / or the second shelf 1332 are folded, they and the corresponding first frame 1311 and / or the second frame 1312 are located below the upper edge 114 of the box 110 to avoid interfering with the user's actions of holding the pet in or out.

[0259] Optionally, the first edge 1331a of the first shelf 1331 may be non-detachably connected to the box body 110, and the first edge 1332a of the second shelf 1332 may be non-detachably connected to the box body 110. Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first edge 1331a of the first shed 1331 and the first edge 1332a of the second shed 1332 can be fixedly connected to the seat cloth 150 of the box body 110 by, for example, sewing, etc., but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and other methods can also be used to achieve fixed connection. That is, in this embodiment, no matter the first shed 1331 and / or the second shed 1332 are unfolded or folded, the first edge 1331a of the first shed 1331 and the first edge 1332a of the second shed 1332 are always fixedly connected to the seat cloth 150 and cannot be disassembled.

[0260] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the carrier 100 may further include a connecting belt 134 and a fixing member 135. The connecting belt 134 has a first end 1341 and a second end 1342, and one of the first end 1341 and the second end 1342 is fixedly connected to the first shed portion 1331 (or the second shed portion 1332) of the ceiling 133. The fixing member 135 includes a female connecting member 1351 and a male connecting member 1352 that are detachably connected to each other, and are respectively disposed on the other of the first end 1341 and the second end 1342 of the connecting belt 134 and the second shed portion 1332 (or the first shed portion 1331) of the ceiling 133, and are used to keep the first shed portion 1331 and the second shed portion 1332 engaged with each other. For example, in this embodiment, the first end 1341 of the connection belt 134 can be fixedly connected to the first shed 1331 by sewing or the like, the second end 1342 of the connection belt 134 is provided with a female connector 1351, and the second shed 1332 is correspondingly provided with a male connector 1352. When the first shed 1331 and the second shed 1332 are engaged with each other (i.e., in a full cover state), the female connector 1351 and the male connector 1352 of the fixing member 135 can cooperate with each other to connect and fix the first shed 1331 and the second shed 1332, thereby preventing the first shed 1331 and the second shed 1332 from being separated during the movement of the box body 110.

[0261] In one example, if Figure 1 As shown, the connecting belt 134 may be composed of a connecting webbing, which passes through the female connector 1351 of the fixing member 135, and both ends of the connecting webbing are fixed to the ceiling 133. In addition, the fixing member 135 may adopt a magnetic buckle structure, that is, the female connector 1351 and the male connector 1352 may be a female buckle and a male buckle that match each other. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the fixing member 135 may also use a zipper, a hook and loop fastener (such as Velcro), a concealed buckle, a plug buckle, a hook and loop fastener, etc.

Specifically, Figure 6 A perspective view of a vehicle 200 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, wherein the vehicle 200 is in a fully covered state; Figure 7 Show Figure 6 A front view of the carrier 200 is shown; Figure 8 Show Figure 6 Another perspective view of the vehicle 200 is shown, wherein the roof 230 is removed to illustrate the specific structure of the roof frame 231; Fig. 9 Show Figure 8 A perspective view of the carrier 200 is shown after the seat cloth 250 is removed; Fig.10 Show Fig. 9 A partially exploded perspective view of the carrier 200 is shown; Fig.11 and Fig.12 Shown separately Figure 6 The carrier 200 is shown in a three-dimensional view in a half-shield state; Fig.13 Show Figure 6 A perspective view of the vehicle 200 shown in a fully open position; and Fig.14 and Fig.15 Show Figure 6 The vehicle 200 is shown in a front view and a perspective view in another fully opened state.

[0263] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the carrier 200 may include a box 210, a support device 220 and a ceiling assembly 230. The box 210 has a bottom and a peripheral wall 212 connected around the bottom, and forms a accommodating space 213 for the pet to be carried therein. The support device 220 is configured such that at least a portion thereof is disposed below the box 210 and supports the box 210. The box 210 may include a body 211 and a seat cloth 250 covering the outside of the body 211. Figure 6 As shown, the seat cloth 250 at least partially covers the box body 210, and optionally, the seat cloth 250 can also at least partially cover the bracket device 220, and a part of the bracket device 220 (such as the engaging member 2231) is located outside the seat cloth 250 for installation and fixation. In one example, the body 211 can be a foam body, for example, it can be made of a foam material such as expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polyethylene (EPE), and expanded ethylene (EPO).

[0264] like Fig. 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the bracket device 220 may include a first bracket 221, a second bracket 222 and a third bracket 223. The first bracket 221 is generally horizontally arranged at the upper end of the bracket device 220, arranged around the box body 210 and close to the opening of the box body 210 (that is, close to the upper edge 214 of the box body 210, but at a certain distance). The third bracket 223 is generally horizontally arranged at the lower end of the bracket device 220, and includes a snap-fitting member 2231, which is spaced apart from the box body 210 below the box body 210 and is used to cooperate with a fixing seat assembly and / or a fixing belt assembly to fix the carrier 200 to the vehicle seat. The second bracket 222 is connected between the first bracket 221 and the third bracket 223, wherein the second bracket 222 includes a plurality of U-shaped structures arranged in parallel and forms a side frame and a bottom frame of the bracket device 220 to contact and support the side and bottom surfaces of the box body 210. Combined with Figure 8 and Fig. 9 When the outer side of the box body 210 is covered with a seat cloth 250, the seat cloth 250 covers the first bracket 221 and the second bracket 222 of the bracket device 220, and the third bracket 223 is exposed outside the seat cloth 250, so as to achieve cooperation with the fixed seat assembly and / or the fixed belt assembly.

[0265] The ceiling assembly 230 may include a ceiling frame 231 and a ceiling 233. The ceiling 233 is disposed above the box body 210 to cover the accommodating space 213 of the box body 210. The ceiling frame 231 is connected to and supports the ceiling 233. The ceiling frame 231 is pivotally connected to the box body 210 or the bracket device 220 so that the ceiling 233 can be unfolded or folded relative to the box body 210.

[0266] Specifically, Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the ceiling frame 231 may include a first frame 2311 and a second frame 2312. The two ends of the first frame 2311 are respectively located on both sides of the box body 210 along the width direction D3 (i.e., two opposite long sides) and are respectively pivoted to the bracket device 220 (e.g., the first bracket 221) through the first pivoting portion 2313, and correspondingly, the two ends of the second frame 2312 are respectively located on both sides of the box body 210 along the width direction D3 and are respectively pivoted to the bracket device 220 (e.g., the first bracket 221) through the second pivoting portion 2314, so that the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 can be pivoted relative to each other and move closer or farther away. In this embodiment, the first pivoting portion 2313 and the second pivoting portion 2314 can be arranged outside the peripheral wall 212 of the box body 210 and are located below the upper edge 214 of the box body 210 (i.e., lower than the upper edge 214).

[0267] The difference from the aforementioned embodiment is that the first pivot portion 2313 and the second pivot portion 2314 are arranged to at least partially overlap, and optionally, the first pivot portion 2313 and the second pivot portion 2314 have the same pivot point, that is, the first pivot portion 2313 and the second pivot portion 2314 are pivotally connected to the bracket device 220 via the same pivot axis and can pivot relative to each other.

[0268] refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.10, a mounting seat 225 is provided on the bracket device 220 for mounting the ceiling frame 231. In one example, two mounting seats 225 can be provided, respectively located on both sides (i.e., opposite long sides) of the box body 210 along the width direction D3. Optionally, the two mounting seats 225 are respectively located in the middle of the two long sides of the box body 210. Each mounting seat 225 includes a first mounting portion 2251 and a second mounting portion 2252. The second mounting portion 2252 is provided on the bracket device 220, for example, on the first bracket 221. In one example, the second mounting portion 2252 can be a clamp so as to be clamped on the first bracket 221, and can be further fixedly connected by screws or the like. The first mounting portion 2251 is provided above the second mounting portion 2252, and is configured to connect the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 of the ceiling frame 231. In this embodiment, the first pivot portions 2313 at both ends of the first frame 2311 can be respectively provided with first pivot holes, the second pivot portions 2314 at both ends of the second frame 2312 can be respectively provided with second pivot holes, and the first mounting portion 2251 of the mounting seat 225 can be provided with a third pivot hole, and the positions of the first pivot hole, the second pivot hole and the third pivot hole correspond to each other. By passing a pivot axis through the first pivot hole, the third pivot hole and the second pivot hole in sequence, the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 are pivoted to the first mounting portion 2251 of the mounting seat 225 and can be coaxially pivoted relative to each other to pivot between their respective first positions, second positions and third positions. It should be noted that the first position refers to the first frame 2311 or the second frame 2312 pivoting on one side thereof to a substantially horizontal position, the second position refers to the first frame 2311 or the second frame 2312 being substantially in a vertical position, and the third position refers to the first frame 2311 or the second frame 2312 continuing to pivot to a substantially horizontal position after passing the second position.

[0269] In one embodiment, the ceiling 133 includes a first ceiling portion 2331 and a second ceiling portion 2332 that can be unfolded or folded relative to the box body 110. Figure 7As shown, the first shelf 2331 has a first edge 2331a and a second edge 2331b, wherein the first edge 2331a is an edge engaged with the periphery of the box body 210 when the first shelf 2331 is unfolded, and the second edge 2331b is an edge away from the box body 210 when the first shelf 2331 is unfolded. Correspondingly, the second shelf 2332 has a first edge 2332a and a second edge 2332b, wherein the first edge 2332a is an edge engaged with the periphery of the box body 210 when the second shelf 2332 is unfolded, and the second edge 2332b is an edge away from the box body 210 when the second shelf 2332 is unfolded. When the first shelf 2331 and the second shelf 2332 are unfolded, the first edge 2331a and the second edge 2331b of the first shelf 2331 are substantially perpendicular to each other, and the first edge 2332a and the second edge 2332b of the second shelf 2332 are substantially perpendicular to each other.

[0270] In this embodiment, the first shed portion 2331 and the second shed portion 2332 constitute an integral ceiling, that is, the first shed portion 2331 and the second shed portion 2332 are integrally formed, or the second edge 2331b of the first shed portion 2331 and the second edge 2332b of the second shed portion 2332 are fixedly connected, for example, by sewing, etc., but the present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0271] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figures 11 to 15 The ceiling 233 has three usage states: full cover state, half cover state and full open state. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the first canopy portion 2331 and the second canopy portion 2332 of the canopy 233 are both unfolded, the canopy 233 is in a full cover state. Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, when the first edge 2331a of the first shelf portion 2331 and the first edge 2332a of the second shelf portion 2332 are close to each other and are substantially relatively vertical, the ceiling 233 is in a half-cover state. Figures 13 to 15 As shown, when the first shelf portion 2331 and the second shelf portion 2332 are both folded, that is, the roof 233 is completely folded, the roof 233 is in a fully open state.

[0272] Different from the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figures 11 to 15 As shown, the first frame 2311 is connected to the first edge 2331a of the first shed 2331, and the second frame 2312 is connected to the first edge 2332a of the second shed 2332. When the roof 233 is unfolded, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 are pivoted relative to each other and move away from each other until the first edge 2331a of the first shelf 2331 and the first edge 2332a of the second shelf 2332 are respectively connected to the box body 210, for example, connected to or below the upper edge of the box body 210, so that the ceiling 233 completely covers the accommodating space 213. At this time, the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 are both in their respective first positions to form a substantially horizontal frame body, and surround the peripheral wall 212 of the box body 210.

[0273] like Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, when the ceiling 233 needs to be opened to the half-cover state, one of the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 is pivoted toward the other, thereby driving the ceiling 233 (i.e., the first shed portion 2331 and the second shed portion 2332) connected between the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 to fold until the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 are substantially perpendicular to each other. That is, when the ceiling 233 is in the half-cover state, one of the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 is in its first position, and the other is in its second position. Fig.13 As shown, one of the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 is continuously pivoted toward the other until the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 are both approximately horizontal and placed adjacent to each other, so that the ceiling 233 (including the first shed portion 2331 and the second shed portion 2332) is completely folded, so that the accommodating space 213 is completely exposed to the outside, that is, in a fully open state. At this time, the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 are on the same side of the box body 210, that is, one of the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 is in its first position, and the other is in its third position.

[0274] In addition, if Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, another fully open state is also shown, that is, the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 are both pivoted to their respective second positions, that is, they are both placed vertically relative to the box body 210, and the accommodating space 213 of the box body 210 can also be fully exposed.

[0275] like Figure 6As shown, the carrier 200 may further include a connecting belt 234 and a fixing member 235. The connecting belt 234 has a first end 2341 and a second end 2342, and one of the first end 2341 and the second end 2342 is fixedly connected to the ceiling 233. The fixing member 235 includes a female connecting member 2351 and a male connecting member 2352 that can be detachably connected to each other, and are respectively disposed at the other of the first end 2341 and the second end 2342 of the connecting belt 234 and the box body 210, and are used to keep the ceiling 233 closed relative to the box body 210.

[0276] For example, in this embodiment, connecting straps 234 and corresponding fixing members 235 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the carrier 200 along the length direction D2. Figure 6 As shown, taking the connecting belt 234 and the corresponding fixing member 235 near the second shed 2332 as an example, the first end 2341 of the connecting belt 234 can be fixedly connected to the second shed 2332 by sewing or the like, the second end 2342 of the connecting belt 234 is provided with a female connecting member 2351, and the box body 210 is correspondingly provided with a male connecting member 2352. It is understandable that the connecting belt 234 and the corresponding fixing member 235 can also be provided on one side of the box body 210 near the first shed 2331. When the ceiling 233 is in a full-cover state, that is, the first shed portion 2331 and the second shed portion 2332 are both unfolded, the female connector 2351 and the male connector 2352 of the fixing member 235 can cooperate with each other to fix the first shed portion 2331 and the second shed portion 2332 relative to the box body 210, thereby preventing the first shed portion 2331 and / or the second shed portion 2332 from being opened (i.e., separated from the box body 210) during the movement of the box body 210.

[0277] When the ceiling 233 needs to be folded, the user can open the fixings 235 on either or both sides and rotate the ceiling frame on that side (i.e., the first frame 2311 or the second frame 2312) to the other side, thereby folding the ceiling 233, including but not limited to the half-cover state and the fully open state of the ceiling 233.

[0278] In one example, the fixing member 235 may adopt a magnetic buckle structure, that is, the female connector 2351 and the male connector 2352 may be a female buckle and a male buckle that fit each other. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the fixing member 235 may also use a zipper, a Velcro (such as Velcro), a concealed buckle, a plug buckle, a hanging buckle, a hook buckle, etc.

[0279] In addition, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the box body 210 of this embodiment may further include a handle 260 , and the handle 260 may be disposed on the top side of the ceiling 233 , but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0280] Reference Figures 16 to 21, illustrates another embodiment of a pet carrier L2600. As shown in the figure, the pet carrier L2600 has a front side, a rear side, a left side, a right side and a top formed by a first part L2602 and a second part L2604. The first part L2602 and the second part L2604 can be, but need not be, separable.

[0281] The pet carrier L2600 may include a roof unit L2610. The roof unit L2610 includes a roof frame L2612, a roof bow L2614 movable relative to the roof frame L2612, and a roof L2616. The roof bow L2614 may have a first positioning end L2618 and a second positioning end L2620 respectively mounted to the ceiling frame L2612. The ceiling bow L2614 can rotate relative to the ceiling frame L2612 around a mounting axis extending through the first and second positioning ends L2618, L2620. In one embodiment, the ceiling bow L2614 is respectively mounted near the center of the front L26 and the rear L28 of the pet carrier L2600, so that the first frame portion L2622 of the roof frame L2612 is arranged on a first side of the mounting axis, and the second frame portion L2624 of the ceiling frame L2612 is arranged on an opposite second side of the mounting axis. In the non-limiting embodiment shown, the ceiling bow L2614 can be in a first position ( Fig.16 ) and the second position ( Fig.17 ), in a first position, the ceiling bow L2614 is positioned approximately adjacent to and vertically aligned with the first frame portion L2622, and in a second position, the ceiling bow L2614 is positioned approximately adjacent to and vertically aligned with the second frame portion L2624. In one embodiment, the ceiling bow L2614 can rotate approximately 180 degrees between the first position and the second position. Furthermore, it should be understood that the ceiling bow L2614 can be arranged in one or more positions between the first position and the second position and maintained or remain in these positions. Any suitable type of positioning mechanism can be used to maintain the ceiling bow L2614 at the first position and the second position or at any position along the rotation path between them.

[0282] The ceiling L2616 has a body including a first end L2626 and a second end L2628. In the non-limiting embodiment shown, one or more structural supports or support bows L2630 are associated with the body of the ceiling L2616 and are integrated into the body of the ceiling L2616 in some embodiments. The structural supports L2630 can be rigid, semi-rigid and / or elastic and can move around the mounting axis in response to the rotation of the ceiling bow L2614. As shown, the first end L2626 of the ceiling L2616 can be connected to the ceiling bow L2614, and the second end L2628 of the ceiling L2616 can be connected to the second frame portion L2624 of the ceiling frame L2612. Therefore, when the ceiling bow L2614 is in the first position, the ceiling L2616 extends around the mounting axis from a position approximately adjacent to the first frame portion L2622 to the second frame portion L2624. When the ceiling bow L2614 is in the first position, the pet carrier L2600 can be considered to be in a closed configuration. Similarly, when the ceiling bow L2614 is in the second position, the first end L2626 of the ceiling L2616 is positioned substantially adjacent to the second frame portion L2624 of the ceiling L2616 and the second end L2628 of the ceiling L2616. When the ceiling bow L2614 is in the second position, the pet carrier L2600 can be considered to be in a fully open configuration. When the ceiling bow L2614 is between the first position and the second position, as shown in FIG. Fig.19B As shown, for example, the pet carrier L2600 can be considered to be in a partially open position.

[0283] In one embodiment, the ceiling bow L2614 may have a first portion L2632 of a locking mechanism or other coupling device located thereon, and a second portion L2634 of the locking mechanism or closing device may be provided, for example, on the base L2606 (see Fig. 20A When the roof bow L2614 is in the first position, the first portion L2632 of the locking mechanism may engage with the second portion L2634 of the locking mechanism ( Fig. 20B ). This engagement is operable to hold the roof bow L2614 in the first position. The locking mechanism formed by the first and second parts L2632, L2634 can provide a reliable mechanical interlock, and in some embodiments, can be a magnetic latch. However, it should be understood that any suitable mechanism for connecting the roof bow L2614 to an adjacent portion of the pet carrier L2600 is within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0284] In other embodiments, the pet carrier may include multiple roof units. FIG. 22A to FIG. 26In a non-limiting embodiment, the pet carrier L2700 shown includes a first roof unit L2710 positioned adjacent to a first side (e.g., left side L30) of the pet carrier L2700, and a second roof unit L2712 positioned adjacent to an opposite second side (e.g., right side L32) of the pet carrier L2700. In such an embodiment, each roof unit L2710, L2712 includes a roof bow frame L2714a, L2714b that can rotate relative to a roof frame L2716a, L2716b around a respective mounting axis. As shown, the mounting axes can be parallel to each other, arranged in the same plane, and separated from each other by a distance.

[0285] The mounting ends L2718a, L2718b, L2720a, L2720b of the ceiling bows L2714a, L2714b of each ceiling unit L2710 can be similarly mounted near the center of the front L26 and rear L28 of the pet carrier L2700. In the non-limiting embodiment shown, the first ceiling bow L2714a of the first ceiling unit L2710 can be rotated between a first position and a second position, in which the ceiling bow L2714a is positioned approximately adjacent to the ceiling frame L2716a and vertically aligned therewith, and in the second position, the first ceiling bow L2714a is arranged at a non-parallel angle relative to the ceiling frame L2716a. In the non-limiting embodiment shown, the second position of the first ceiling bow L2714a is substantially perpendicular to the first position. In such an embodiment, the first ceiling bow L2714a can be rotated approximately 90 degrees between the first position and the second position. However, embodiments in which the second position is at another angle relative to the first position are also within the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, it should be understood that the first ceiling bow L2714a can be arranged and maintained or stay in one or more positions between the first position and the second position.

[0286] The center panel L2722 may be arranged between the first ceiling unit L2710 and the second ceiling unit L2712, respectively, and connected to the first ceiling unit L2710 and the second ceiling unit L2712. In one embodiment, the center panel L2722 is fixed relative to the pet carrier L2700 and the base L2706. The first ceiling L2724a of the first ceiling unit L2710 may have a first end L2726a connected to the first ceiling bow L2714a and an opposite second end L2728a connected to the center panel L2722 (e.g., its edge). In addition, the first ceiling L2710 may include one or more first structural supports or support bows L2730a, which are operable to maintain the shape of the first ceiling unit L2710 when closed. When the first ceiling bow L2714a is in the first position, the first ceiling L2724a extends from a position approximately adjacent to the ceiling frame L2716a to the center panel L2722. When the first roof bow L2714a is in the first position, the first roof unit L2710 of the pet carrier L2700 can be considered to be in a closed configuration. Similarly, when the first roof bow L2714a is in the second position, the first end L2726a of the first roof L2724a is substantially adjacent to the center panel L2722 and therefore adjacent to the second end L2728a of the first roof L2724a. When the first roof bow L2714a is in the second position ( Fig.23 , Fig.25A ), the first roof unit L2710 of the pet carrier L2700 can be considered to be in a fully open configuration. When the first roof bow L2714a is located between the first position and the second position, the first roof L2724a of the pet carrier L2700 can be considered to be in a partially open position. In one embodiment, the center panel L2722 or the roof can include a retaining device (not shown) that is operable to retain the first roof bow L2714a in the second position.

[0287] It should be understood that the second ceiling unit L2712 may have a similar configuration to the first ceiling unit L2710. The first end L2726b of the second ceiling L2724b may be attached to the second ceiling bow L2714b, and the opposite second end L2728b of the second ceiling L2724b may be connected to the center panel L2722. One or more second structural supports or support bows L2730b may be operable to support the middle portion of the second ceiling L2724b. The second ceiling bow L2714b may be arranged from a first position ( Fig.22A , Fig.24A ) and the second position adjacent to the center panel L2722 ( Fig.23 , Fig.25B) is moved. The operation of the second roof unit L2712 is substantially similar to the operation of the first roof unit L2710 and thus will not be described in detail herein. In an embodiment of the pet carrier L2700 including the first roof unit L2710 and the second roof unit L2712, the position of the first roof L2724a can be adjusted independently of the second roof L2724b.

[0288] Although described as independent first ceiling unit L2710 and second ceiling unit L2712, it should be understood that in other embodiments, a single ceiling unit is also within the scope of the present disclosure, with ceiling frames L2716a, L2716b forming a single ceiling frame, the single ceiling unit having a first ceiling bow L2714a (rotatable as described above) and a second ceiling bow L2714b (rotatable as described above), and the first ceiling bow L2714a and the second ceiling bow L2714b are installed at different positions around the single ceiling frame. In such an embodiment, the ceiling unit may include two independent ceilings L2724a, L2724b, as previously described, the two ceilings L2724a, L2724b are connected by a center panel L2722. A single canopy L2724 having a first end L2726 connected to a first canopy bow L2714a and an opposite second end L2728 connected to a second canopy bow L2714b may also be used. In this configuration, the center of the single canopy disposed between the first and second canopy bows L2714a, L2714b will remain stationary relative to the base L2706.

[0289] and Figures 16 to 21 Similar to the embodiment, in this embodiment, each ceiling bow frame L2714a, L2714b may have a first part L2732a, L2732b of a locking mechanism or other connecting device located thereon, and the first part L2732a, L2732b is configured to cooperate with a second part (not shown) of the locking mechanism or other connecting device arranged on the base L2706, for example, to keep the ceiling L2724a, L2724b in a closed position.

[0290] In the embodiments shown and described herein, one or more roof units L2610, L2710, L2712 are integrated into both the first portion L2602, L2702 and the second portion L2604, L2704 of the pet carrier L2600, L2700. For example, a combination of a roof L2616, L2724a, L2724b and a roof bow L2614, L2714a, L2714b can form the first portion L2602, L2702 of the pet carrier L2600, L2700, and a roof frame L2612, L2716a, L2716b can be mounted to the base L2606, L2706 of the second portion L2604, L2704. In the non-limiting embodiment shown, the second portion L2604, L2704 includes side walls L2607, L2707 that protrude from the base. In one embodiment, the side walls L2607, L2707 extend around the entire periphery of the base L2606, L2706. The ceiling frame L2612, L2716a, L2716b can be arranged at the side walls L2607, L2707. However, embodiments in which the ceiling frame L2612, L2716a, L2716b is also located at the first portion L2602, L2702 of the pet carrier L2600, L2700 are also within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0291] In one embodiment, the ceilings L2616, L2724a, L2724b of each ceiling unit L2610, L2710, L2712 are permanently connected to the pet carrier L2600, L2700. However, in one embodiment, as Fig.21 and Fig.26As shown, the canopy L2616, L2724a, L2724b can be removably fixed to the pet carrier L2600, L2700, for example, by one or more connectors. In the non-limiting embodiment shown, the connector L2640, L2740 includes a first portion L2642, L2742 (e.g., a buckle) and a second portion L2644, L2744 (e.g., a latch plate slidably received in the buckle L2642, L2742). Although the buckle L2642, L2742 is shown as being mounted at the second portion L2604, L2704, such as at the ceiling frame L2612, L2716a, L2716b, and the latch plate L2644, L2744 is shown as extending from the first portion L2602, L2702, such as from the locating end of the ceiling bow L2614, L2714a, L2714b, it should be understood that embodiments in which the buckle L2642, L2742 is disposed at the first portion L2602, L2702 and the latch plate L2644, L2744 is disposed at the second portion L2604, L2704 are also contemplated herein. Furthermore, the connectors L2640, L2740 shown and described herein are intended to be examples only, and any suitable connector operable to releasably couple the first and second portions is within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0292] Various embodiments of the pet carrier L2600, L2700 also include at least one latch connector that can be engaged with a corresponding seat anchor (not shown) of a vehicle seat (e.g., a car seat). Figures 16 to 18B As shown, the carrier L2600 has a plurality of latch connectors, including a first latch connector L70a and a second latch connector L70b. However, embodiments having only a single latch connector or having more than two latch connectors are also contemplated herein. At least one latch connector L70a, L70b may be integral with the carrier L2600. For example, at least one latch connector may be permanently connected to the carrier L2600. Alternatively, at least one latch connector may be removably connected to the carrier L2600.

[0293] In the non-limiting embodiment shown, at least one latch connector L70a, L70b is disposed at the base L2606, L2706 of the carrier L2600, L2700.

[0309] In this embodiment, the carrier N400 includes a box body N420, a first support tube N430, two second support tubes N440, and a locking rod N410.

[0310] The box body N420 is roughly rectangular and has opposite top and bottom surfaces. The first support tube N430 is close to the top surface of the box body N420 and surrounds the peripheral side of the box body N420 to form a ring that surrounds in the horizontal and vertical directions. Two second support tubes N440 are arranged in the horizontal direction. Each second support tube N440 is U-shaped, connected to both sides of the first support tube N430 and surrounds the bottom surface of the box body N420. In this way, the first support tube N430 and the second support tube N440 form a frame surrounding the box body N420.

[0311] The engaging rod N410 is disposed below the bottom surface of the box body N420 and forms a ring shape along the circumference of the box body N420. As described above, the engaging rod N410 can be engaged with the base engaging groove N540 of the base N500 to fix the carrier N400 to the base N500. The engaging structure N100 is disposed on the engaging rod N410 and can be engaged with the base rod N510 of the base N500 to be in a locked state.

[0312] More specifically, the engaging structure N100 is disposed below the bottom surface of the carrier N400 and close to the longitudinal side of the carrier N400, and the unlocking structure N200 is disposed on the lateral side of the carrier N400 and close to the top surface of the carrier N400. In this way, the unlocking structure N200 is in a position that is easy for the user to observe and operate, thereby improving the user experience. In contrast, the unlocking structure N200 in the prior art is disposed near the engaging structure N100, and therefore is inevitably located at the bottom of the carrier N400 or disposed on the base N500. The user needs to pass his hand around the entire carrier N400 to reach the unlocking structure N200, which is inconvenient for the user to observe and operate.

[0313] In the present application, a single unlocking structure N200 can control multiple engaging structures N100 at the same time. Fig.35The locking structure N100 includes a first locking structure N101 and a second locking structure N102 symmetrically arranged in the longitudinal direction. The unlocking structure N200 includes a first unlocking structure N201, which is respectively connected to the first locking structure N101 and the second locking structure N102 through two connecting members N300, and can be operated to unlock the first locking structure N101 and the second locking structure N102 at the same time. The specific structure of the unlocking structure N200 will be explained in detail below.

[0314] In the present application, the carrier N400 may include a plurality of engagement groups formed by the engagement structures N100 and the unlocking structures N200, and each engagement group includes the engagement structures N100 and the unlocking structures N200 that are associated with each other. Fig.35 , the first engaging structure N101, the second engaging structure N102, and the first unlocking structure N201 form a engaging group. In addition, the engaging structure N100 also includes a third engaging structure N103 and a fourth engaging structure N104 which are symmetrically arranged in the longitudinal direction, and the unlocking structure N200 includes a second unlocking structure N202. The second unlocking structure N202 is respectively connected to the third engaging structure N103 and the fourth engaging structure N104 through two connecting members N300, and can be operated to simultaneously unlock the third engaging structure N103 and the fourth engaging structure N104. Therefore, the third engaging structure N103, the fourth engaging structure N104, and the second unlocking structure N202 form another engaging group. When the carrier N400 is engaged with the base N500, the engaging structure N100 in any engaging group can be connected to the engaging rod N410 of the base N500 (see Fig.31 ). In this way, the plurality of snap-fit ​​groups provide a plurality of position options for snapping the carrier N400 to the base N500.

[0315] In this embodiment, the first engaging structure N101 and the second engaging structure N102 are located at a lateral side of the carrier N400, for example Fig.35 The third engaging structure N103 and the fourth engaging structure N104 are located on the other lateral side of the carrier N400, for example Fig.35 Correspondingly, the first unlocking structure N201 is located at the center of one lateral side of the carrier N400, and the second unlocking structure N202 is located at the center of the other lateral side of the carrier N400. In other embodiments, the positions of each engaging structure N100 can be flexibly set according to needs.

[0316] Reference Figure 37 to Figure 39 The engaging structure N100 is further described in detail. The engaging structure N100 includes: a mounting member N110, an engaging hook N120, a rotating shaft N130, and a first pin N140 (for details about the rotating shaft N130 and the first pin N140, see Fig.41A , Fig.41B), a first elastic member N150, and a mounting seat N160.

[0317] The mounting seat N160 is mounted to the engaging rod N410 of the carrier N400 and at least partially accommodates the mounting member N110. The mounting member N110 is inserted into the mounting seat N160 and accommodates the engaging hook N120, the rotating shaft N130, the first pin N140 (see Fig.41A , Fig.41B ), the first elastic member N150. More specifically, the mounting member N110 is a hollow structure, and the engaging hook N120 is accommodated in the mounting member N110.

[0318] The mounting member N110 includes a rotation axis hole N111, a guide hole N112, and a locking hole N113. The rotation axis hole N111 passes through the mounting member N110 in the horizontal direction. The rotation axis N130 (see FIG. Fig.41A , Fig.41B ), is arranged in the rotating shaft hole N111, and the engaging hook N120 rotates around the rotating shaft N130, that is, the engaging hook N120 swings around the transverse axis. The first elastic member N150 is arranged around the rotating shaft N130. In this embodiment, the first elastic member N150 is a torsion spring, and its two ends respectively abut against the inner wall of the mounting member N110 and the engaging hook N120, and is arranged to bias the engaging hook N120 to the locking position (described in detail below). The guide hole N112 penetrates the mounting member N110 in the transverse direction and is an elongated hole extending in the vertical direction. The engaging hole N113 penetrates the mounting member N110 in the transverse direction and is open to the bottom surface of the mounting member N110.

[0319] The engaging hook N120 includes a pivot end N121 and a hook portion N122 which are opposite to each other. The pivot end N121 is connected to the rotating shaft N130 (see FIG. Fig.41A , Fig.41B ) is pivotally connected to the mounting member N110. The hook portion N122 can swing around the pivot end N121. The snap hook N120 includes a hook recess N125 formed between the hook portion N122 and the pivot end N121 and open outward. When the snap hook N120 is in a locked state, the hook recess N125 can be locked to the base rod N510 of the base N500 (see Fig.41A ) to prevent the carrier N400 and the base N500 from moving relative to each other. A sliding groove N123 is formed between the hook portion N122 and the pivot end N121, which is a long groove extending obliquely. The first pin N140 is inserted into the sliding groove N123 and can move in the sliding groove N123. When the first pin N140 moves in the sliding groove N123, it can drive the engagement hook N120 to swing.

[0320] The mounting seat N160 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting member N110 and includes: two mounting holes N161, a snap-fitting groove N163, and a buffer pad N162. The two mounting holes N161 are respectively located on the lateral sides of the mounting seat N160, and the snap-fitting rod N410 is respectively inserted into the mounting seat N160 at the lateral sides (specifically, inserted through the side holes N164 at the two sides), and two fasteners such as screws respectively fix the mounting seat N160 to the snap-fitting rod N410 through the two mounting holes N161. The snap-fitting groove N163 is located on the bottom surface of the mounting seat N160, and the snap-fitting hole N113 of the mounting member N110 is connected to the snap-fitting groove N163, and faces the outside of the snap-fitting structure N100 through the snap-fitting groove N163. The buffer pad N162 is arranged on the bottom surface of the mounting seat N160, so that the carrier N400 can be stably placed on the ground or the desktop after being separated from the base N500.

[0321] In the present embodiment, the mounting member N110 and the mounting seat N160 are two components assembled with each other; however, in other embodiments, the mounting member N110 and the mounting seat N160 may be a single component formed integrally.

[0322] In addition, in this embodiment, the connecting member N300 is a traction line, including a cable N310, a cable sleeve N320, a first end N330, and a second end N340 (see Fig.44 ). The cable sleeve N320 is buried in the carrier N400, and the cable N310 is arranged in the cable sleeve N320 and connected to the first end N330 and the second end N340, so that the movement of the first end N330 can be transmitted to the second end N340. In other embodiments, the connecting member N300 can also be an integrally formed elastic strip, etc., which is not limited to the description in this embodiment.

[0323] Combination Fig.39 The first end N330 of the cable N310 is connected to the engaging structure N100 , and the first end N330 is sleeved onto the first pin N140 to drive the linear movement of the first pin N140 .

[0324] Reference Figures 40 to 41B The specific structure and operation of the engaging structure N100 are described.

[0325] The first pin N140 is linearly movable in the mounting member N110, specifically, in the guide hole N112 of the mounting member N110 (see FIG. Fig.39 ) to move along the guide hole N112. The first pin N140 is inserted into the sliding groove N123 of the engaging hook N120, so that the linear movement of the first pin N140 drives the engaging hook N120 to the locking position ( Fig.41A ) and unlocked position ( Fig.41B ) swings between.

[0326] Fig.41AThe carrier N400 is shown to be engaged with the base N500, and the engaging structure N100 is in a locked state. At this time, the base rod N510 of the base N500 is accommodated in the engaging hole N113, and when the engaging hook N120 is in a locked state, the hook recess N125 of the engaging hook N120 corresponds to the position of the engaging hole N113 to engage with the base rod N510.

[0327] When the user needs to unlock the locking structure N100, he pulls the connecting member N300 through the unlocking structure N200, so that the first end N330 of the connecting member N300 drives the first pin N140 to move linearly relative to the mounting member N110, specifically, to move vertically upward. At this time, the first pin N140 drives the locking hook N120 to rotate upward while sliding along the sliding groove N123, that is, along the Fig.41A and Fig.41B The counterclockwise rotation of the locking hook N120 causes the hook recess N125 to disengage from the base rod N510, so that the locking structure N100 reaches Fig.41B In the unlocked state shown, the carrier N400 can be separated from the base N500.

[0328] Reference Figures 42 to 43B The specific structure of the unlocking structure N200 is described below. The unlocking structure N200 includes: an operating member N210, a second pin N220, a third pin N240, and a second elastic member N230.

[0329] The operating member N210 is configured as a block-shaped handle, which can be operated from the outside of the vehicle N400 to vertically adjust the vehicle in the initial state ( Fig.43A ) and pressed state ( Fig.43B The operating member N210 is provided with an operating member slot N211 extending in a vertical direction and at least one oblique slot N212 extending in an oblique direction.

[0330] The second pin N220 is arranged in the unlocking structure N200 so as to be linearly movable (specifically, lateral movement) and inserted into the inclined groove N212 of the operating member N210 to convert the vertical movement of the operating member N210 into the lateral movement of the second end N340 of the connecting member N300. The first support tube N430 may be provided with a lateral extending slide groove (not shown) to guide the lateral movement of the second pin N220. The third pin N240 is fixed to the carrier N400 and inserted into the operating member groove N211 of the operating member N210 to guide the vertical movement of the operating member N210. The second end N340 of the connecting member N300 is sleeved on the second pin N220, so that when the operating member N210 moves to the pressing state, the inclined groove N212 of the operating member N210 drives the second pin N220 to move linearly to pull the second end N340 of the connecting member N300, thereby causing the first end N330 of the connecting member N300 to drive the locking structure N100 to move to the unlocking state.

[0331] The two second pins N220 can be respectively inserted into the two oblique slots N212 of the operating member N210 on both sides in the longitudinal direction, and are respectively connected to the second ends N340 of the two connecting members N300. Therefore, the operating member N210 can drive the two connecting members N300 at the same time, so that one unlocking structure N200 simultaneously unlocks the two engaging structures N100.

[0332] The second elastic member N230 biases the operating member N210 toward the initial state, so that the operating member N210 without external force is in the initial state. More specifically, the second elastic member N230 is a coil spring, one end of which abuts against the inner wall of the first support tube N430 of the box body N420, and the other end abuts against the top surface of the operating member N210, so as to bias the operating member N210 downward toward the initial state.

[0333] In summary, the present application provides a vehicle having a snap-fit ​​structure and an unlocking structure, and the snap-fit ​​structure and the unlocking structure are respectively located at different positions of the vehicle. In addition, the specific structure of the vehicle of the present application is conducive to its force stability and can avoid deformation and overturning of the vehicle.
