DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0063] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals represent like components throughout the several views.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The folding mechanism 1 of the present invention is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a baby carrier in an unfolded state. The folding mechanism 1 of the present embodiment is applicable to a baby carrier 2, which is, for example, a portable sleeping box or cradle and includes a first part 10 and a second part 20, wherein the first part 10 is, for example, an armrest or an upper frame of the sleeping box, and the second part 20 is, for example, a body or a lower frame of the sleeping box and is arranged opposite to the first part 10. Preferably, the baby carrier 2 also includes a handle 30, wherein the handle 30 is connected to the first part 10, and can be held by the user to facilitate carrying the baby carrier 2.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,in Figure 2 for Figure 1 Exploded view of some components of the infant carrier, Figure 3 for Figure 2 A magnified schematic diagram of area A in the figure. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the baby carrier 2 is equipped with four folding mechanisms 1, which are respectively arranged in the front, rear, left and right directions of the baby carrier 2 and located between the first part 10 and the second part 20. These folding mechanisms 1 are used to lock the baby carrier 2 in an unfolded state where the first part 10 and the second part 20 are opposite to each other, or to fold the first part 10 and the second part 20 to a folded state where the first part 10 and the second part 20 are adjacent to each other. It is worth mentioning that according to actual needs, the baby carrier 2 can also be as Figure 2 The present invention is not limited to only one folding mechanism 1 disposed at the front and rear, or even only one folding mechanism 1 disposed at one of the front, rear, left, and right ends. Figure 3 As shown, the folding mechanism 1 includes a first connecting member 100, a second connecting member 200, a locking member 300, an operating member 400 and a positioning member 500, wherein the first connecting member 100 is pivotally connected to the first part 10, the second connecting member 200 is pivotally connected to the second part 20, the locking member 300 is configured on the first connecting member 100, the operating member 400 is fixed relative to the locking member 300, and the positioning member 500 is configured on the second connecting member.

[0066] In detail, the folding mechanism 1 further includes a first auxiliary component 800 and a second auxiliary component 900, wherein the first auxiliary component 800 is, for example, a metal sleeve, which is sleeved on the first portion 10 and fixed to the first connecting member 100, and the second auxiliary component 900 is, for example, a pivot seat, which is fixed to the second portion 20 and is pivotally connected to the second connecting member 200. In other words, the first connecting member 100 is pivotally connected to the first portion 10 through the first auxiliary component 800, and the second connecting member 200 is pivotally connected to the second portion through the second auxiliary component 900. Specifically, the folding mechanism 1 operates the locking member 300 through the operating member 400 to selectively engage the positioning member 500 to switch the infant carrier 2 between the unfolded state and the folded state. Figure 3 As shown, the locking member 300 and the operating member 400 can be an integrally formed member or can be separate and different members. In this embodiment, the locking member 300 and the operating member 400 are separate and independent, wherein the locking member 300 includes a limiting portion 310 and is formed with a through hole 320, and the operating member 400 includes an operating portion 410 and a through-set portion 420, wherein the operating portion 410 protrudes relative to the surface of the first connecting member 100, allowing the user to grasp it conveniently, and the through-set portion 420 is, for example, a protruding column, and in this embodiment, there are two of them, and they are penetrated in the through hole 320 so that the locking member 300 and the operating member 400 are fixed to each other. On the other hand, the positioning member 500 is formed with a positioning portion 510, wherein the positioning portion 510 is, for example, a groove and has a shape corresponding to the limiting portion 310, and the limiting portion 310 is selectively engaged with the positioning portion 510.

[0067] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 ,in Figure 4 for Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of a baby carrier, Figure 5 for Figure 4 A partial enlarged schematic diagram of Figure 6 for Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of a baby carrier in the folded state. Figure 5As shown, the first connecting member 100 is formed with a receiving groove 110, wherein the receiving groove 110 extends in the longitudinal direction of the first connecting member 100, the locking member 300 is slidably disposed in the receiving groove 110, and the positioning member 500 is fixedly disposed on the second connecting member 200. Preferably, the folding mechanism 1 further includes two limiting members 700, wherein the limiting members 700 are, for example, rivets or bolts, and one of the limiting members 700 is penetrated through one end of the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200, so the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 are pivotally connected to each other through the limiting member 700, and the other limiting member 700 is penetrated through the other end of the second connecting member 200 and the second auxiliary member 900, so the second connecting member 200 can pivot relative to the second auxiliary member 900. Thus, when the user operates the locking member 300 to slide longitudinally toward the upper side of the accommodating groove 110 through the operating member 400, the limiting portion 310 disengages from the positioning portion 510, so that the locking member 300 is no longer locked on the positioning member 500. Therefore, the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 can be pivoted relative to each other through the limiting member 700, so that the baby carrier 2 is turned into Figure 6 The folded state is shown. Preferably, the folding mechanism 1 further comprises an elastic member 600, wherein the elastic member 600 is, for example, a spring and is used to reset the locking member 300 to a position where it is engaged with the positioning member 500. Specifically, the elastic member 600 is disposed in the receiving groove 110 and is connected to the first connecting member 100 and the locking member 300. When the user operates the locking member 300 to slide upward through the operating member 400, the elastic member 600 will be compressed and accumulate elastic force. When the user releases the operating member 400 and the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 are pivoted again until the limiting portion 310 is aligned with the positioning portion 510, the limiting portion 310 will be pushed into the positioning portion 510 by the elastic member 600, so that the baby carrier 2 is automatically locked in the unfolded state.

[0068] Furthermore, in order to reduce the wear between components of the locking member 300 during the sliding process, preferably, at least one of the limiting portion 310 and the positioning portion 510 has a curved surface, and in this embodiment, the limiting portion 310 has a curved surface 312. Thus, whether the locking member 300 is sliding toward the upper end of the accommodating groove 110 through the operating member 400, or the baby carrier 2 is automatically reset when changing from the folded state to the unfolded state, the buffering of the curved surface 312 can reduce the wear or collision between the locking member 300 and the positioning portion 510, which is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the folding mechanism 1.

[0069] In addition, the folding mechanism 1 of this embodiment also has the function of limiting the displacement stroke of the operating member 400. Figure 3As shown, the first connecting member 100 further forms a limiting hole 120, wherein the limiting hole 120 is, for example, a long hole penetrating the wall of the first connecting member 100 and having a longitudinal length greater than the size of the penetration portion 420, and the penetration portion 420 is slidably disposed in the limiting hole 120. With such a configuration, when a user pushes against the operating member 400, the displacement stroke of the operating member 400 is limited to the longitudinal length of the limiting hole 120, thereby preventing the locking member 300 and the operating member 400 from excessively sliding.

[0070] In addition, in order to prevent the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 from pivoting toward the outside of the baby carrier 2 and increasing the volume of the baby carrier 2 when folded, the second auxiliary member 900 of the present embodiment includes a stopper 910 for limiting the pivoting direction of the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200. Specifically, the first portion 10 and the second portion 20 surround and form a storage space S for accommodating infants, and the stopper 910 is arranged on the outside of the second connecting member 200 relative to the storage space S. When the baby carrier 2 is in the unfolded state, the stopper 910 abuts against the outside of the lower end of the second connecting member 200, so that the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 cannot pivot toward the outside of the storage space S, which can not only reduce the volume of the baby carrier 2 when folded, but also prevent the folding mechanism 1 from protruding outward and colliding with other objects and being damaged.

[0071] It is worth mentioning that, although the first connecting member 100 is pivotally connected to the first part 10, the second connecting member 200 is pivotally connected to the second part 20, and the locking member 300 and the positioning member 500 are respectively disposed on the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other possible embodiments, the first connecting member 100 may be changed to be pivotally connected to the second part 20, and the positioning member 500 may be disposed on the second connecting member pivotally connected to the first part 10, and the selective locking effect may also be achieved.

[0072] In addition, in this embodiment, the operating portion 410 protrudes relative to the surface of the first connecting member 100, but in other possible embodiments, the operating portion 410 may also be a structure that is recessed relative to the surface of the first connecting member 100 to facilitate the user's finger to buckle in. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the stopper 910 is disposed on the second auxiliary member 900, but in other possible embodiments, the stopper may be disposed on the first auxiliary member 800 instead, or the first auxiliary member 800 and the second auxiliary member 900 may be disposed with the stopper, which can also achieve the effect of preventing the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 from rotating toward the outside of the accommodating space S.

[0073] Please refer to Figures 7 to 9 ,in Figure 7is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a baby carrier in an unfolded state using a second embodiment of the folding mechanism of the present invention. Figure 8 for Figure 7 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of a baby carrier during folding. Fig. 9 for Figure 7 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of a baby carrier in a folded state. The folding mechanism 1a of the present embodiment is applicable to a baby carrier 2a, which may also be a sleeping box or a cradle and comprises a first part 10 and a second part 20, wherein the first part 10a is, for example, the front half of the sleeping box, and the second part 20a is, for example, the back half of the sleeping box, and the first part 10a and the second part 20a are arranged along the longitudinal direction L. On the other hand, the folding mechanism 1a comprises a connecting member 100a, wherein the second part 20a is movably connected to the first part 10a through the connecting member 100a, and the extending direction of the connecting member 100a is parallel to the longitudinal direction L. Preferably, the baby carrier 2a also comprises a handle 30a, wherein the handle 30a is connected to the first part 10a, and can be held by the user to facilitate carrying the baby carrier 2a.

[0074] In detail, the connecting member 100a of this embodiment is, for example, a connecting rod and has a plurality of them, and the first portion 10a and the second portion 20a are pivotally connected to each other through the connecting member 100a. Figure 8 As shown, the first part 10a includes a bottom plate 12a and a side wall 14a, the side wall 14a surrounds the bottom plate 12a and forms an opening at the bottom plate 12a facing the second part 20a; and the second part 20a also includes a bottom plate 22a and a side wall 24a, the side wall 24a surrounds the bottom plate 22a and forms an opening at the bottom plate 22a facing the first part 10a, and the connecting member 100a is pivotally connected to the bottom plate 12a of the first part 10a and the bottom plate 22a of the second part 20a. Thereby, the folding mechanism 1a is suitable for making the baby carrier 2a in the following manner: Figure 7 The expanded state shown and Fig. 9 When the baby carrier 2a is in the unfolded state, the opening of the first part 10a and the opening of the second part 20a are opposite to each other, and the bottom plate 22a of the second part 20a abuts against and is coplanar with the bottom plate 12a of the first part 10a; when the user has finished using the baby carrier 2a, the second part 20a can be rotated into the space surrounded by the side wall 14a of the first part 10a through the connecting member 100a. At this time, the bottom plate 22a and the side wall 24a of the second part 20a will be respectively overlapped on the bottom plate 12a and the side wall 14a of the first part 10a, forming a Fig. 9 Status shown.

[0075] Furthermore, in order to enable the connecting member 100a to smoothly drive the second part 20a to pivot relative to the first part 10a, a receiving groove G is formed on the bottom plate 12a of the present embodiment, wherein the number of the receiving grooves G corresponds to the number of the connecting members 100a and is recessed relative to the upper surface of the bottom plate 12a, and a through groove T is provided on the bottom plate 22a, wherein the number of the through grooves T also corresponds to the number of the connecting members 100a and is connected to the upper surface and the lower surface of the bottom plate 22a, and the connecting member 100a is penetrated through the receiving groove G and the through groove T. In other words, the connecting member 100a is penetrated through the bottom plate 22a through the through slot T, so that when the second portion 20a is pivoted relative to the first portion 10a, the connecting member 100a can rotate relative to the bottom plate 22a in the longitudinal direction L and the thickness direction of the bottom plate 22a; and when the infant carrier 2a is in the unfolded state, the connecting member 100a can also be stored in the accommodating groove G, so it will not protrude relative to the bottom plate 12a and the bottom plate 22a to cause discomfort to the infant lying down.

[0076] Preferably, the folding mechanism 1a further comprises a first stopper 200a and a second stopper 300a, wherein the first stopper 200a and the second stopper 300a are, for example, bolts and are fixedly mounted on the bottom plate 12a and the bottom plate 22a, respectively, and the connecting member 100a is respectively formed with a sleeve-like structure at both ends, and the connecting member 100a is sleeved on the first stopper 200a and the second stopper 300a through the sleeve structure. Through such a configuration, the pivoting of the second part 20a relative to the first part 10a can be achieved by the rotation of the connecting member 100a relative to the first stopper 200a and the second stopper 300a, thereby reducing the wear between the component and the bottom plate 12a and the bottom plate 22a. Of course, in other possible embodiments, the first limit member 200a and the second limit member 300a may also be pivoted or clamped to the bottom plate 12a and the bottom plate 22a respectively, and the connecting member 100a is fixed relative to the first limit member 200a and the second limit member 300a, or even the connecting member 100a is directly pivoted to the bottom plate 12a and the bottom plate 22a, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0077] Please refer to Fig.10 as well as Fig.11 ,in Fig.10 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a baby carrier in an unfolded state using a third embodiment of the folding mechanism of the present invention, and Fig.11 for Fig.10 The folding mechanism 1b of this embodiment is applicable to the baby carrier 2b and is similar to the folding mechanism 1a. The main difference between the folding mechanism 1b and the folding mechanism 1a is that the folding mechanism 1b includes a connecting member 100b and a connecting hole H, and the first part 10b and the second part 20b are detachably connected to each other through the connecting member 100b and the connecting hole H.

[0078] In detail, Fig.11 As shown, the first part 10b includes an end surface 16b in addition to the bottom plate 12b and the side wall 14b, and the end surface 16b is formed on the side of the bottom plate 12b and the side wall 14b; similarly, the second part 20b includes an end surface 26b in addition to the bottom plate 22b and the side wall 24b, and the end surface 26b is formed on the side of the bottom plate 22b and the side wall 24b. In this embodiment, the connecting member 100b is fixed on the end surface 26b of the second part 20b and protrudes relative to the end surface 26b, and the connecting hole H is formed on the end surface 16b of the first part 10b, and the number and position of the connecting hole H correspond to the connecting member 100b. With such a configuration, when the user has finished using the baby carrier 2b, the user can pull out the second portion 20b together with the connecting member 100b from the connecting hole H of the first portion 10b, and overlap the second portion 20b on the first portion 10b. In this way, the user only needs to use the handle 30b connected to the first portion 10b to carry the baby carrier 2b with a reduced longitudinal length at one time, thereby improving the convenience of using the baby carrier 2b.

[0079] In addition, the length of the second portion 20b in the longitudinal direction L of the present embodiment is less than or equal to the length of the first portion 10b in the longitudinal direction L, and the length of the connector 100b protruding relative to the end surface 26b is less than the length difference between the first portion 10b and the second portion 20b in the longitudinal direction L. With such a configuration, when the infant carrier 2b is in the folded state, the portion of the connector 100b protruding relative to the end surface 26b will not exceed the end surface 16b, thereby preventing the connector 100b from colliding with external components and being damaged.

[0080] It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the connecting member 100b is fixed on the end surface 26b, and the connecting hole H is formed on the end surface 16b, but the connecting member 100b can also be fixed on the end surface 16b, and the connecting hole H can be formed on the end surface 26b, which can also achieve the effect of detachably connecting the first part 10b and the second part 20b to each other.

[0081] Please refer to Fig.12 , Fig.12 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a baby carrier in an unfolded state using a folding mechanism of the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The folding mechanism 1c of this embodiment is applicable to a baby carrier 2c and is similar to the folding mechanism 1b. The main difference between the folding mechanism 1c and the folding mechanism 1b is that the folding mechanism 1c includes a connecting member 100c and a slide rail R, and the first portion 10c and the second portion 20c are slidably connected to each other through the connecting member 100c and the slide rail R.

In detail, the connecting member 100c is disposed on the outer side of at least one of the bottom plate 22c and the side wall 24c of the second part 20c. In the present embodiment, a connecting member 100c is disposed on the outer side of each of the bottom plate 22c and the side wall 24c. The connecting member 100c includes a sliding portion 110c and a fixing portion 120c, wherein the sliding portion 110c is, for example, a roller and is pivotally connected to the fixing portion 120c, and the connecting member 100c is fixed to the outer side of the bottom plate 22c and the side wall 24c through the fixing portion 120c, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other possible embodiments, the sliding portion 110c may also be directly integrally formed on the bottom plate 22c and the side wall 24c; on the other hand, the slide rails R are disposed on the bottom plate 12c and the side wall 14c of the first part 10c, and the number and position correspond to the connecting member 100c, and the sliding portion 110c is slidably disposed on the slide rails R. Thus, when the user has finished using the baby carrier 2c, the second part 20c can be stored inside the first part 10c through the connector 100c and the slide rail R, thereby reducing the volume occupied by the baby carrier 2c in the folded state. It is worth mentioning that in other possible embodiments, the connector 100c can also be arranged on the inner side of the first part 10c, and the slide rail R can be arranged on the outer side of the second part 20c, and the pairing of the connector 100c and the slide rail R can also be replaced with an equivalent combination such as a slider and a slide groove, and the present invention is not limited to this. Preferably, a guide column 18c is also arranged on the first part 10c, which can assist the connector 100c to slide on the slide rail R more stably.

[0083] In addition to the first part 10c and the second part 20c being able to slide freely, the folding structure 1c of this embodiment also includes a function of locking the second part 20c at a specific position relative to the first part 10c and a corresponding unlocking function. Please refer to Figures 18 to 20 ,in Fig.18 for Fig.12 A schematic cross-sectional view of a baby carrier, Fig.19 for Fig.12 A schematic diagram of a baby carrier from above, and Fig. 20 for Fig.19Schematic bottom view of the baby carrier after the cover is removed. Specifically, the first part 10c is formed with a plurality of locking holes P, and the folding mechanism 1c further includes an operating member 300c, a cover 400c and at least one locking member 500c, wherein the operating member 300c is connected to the cover 400c and is formed with at least one limiting groove 310c, and in this embodiment, there are two limiting grooves 310c; the cover 400c is disposed on the second part 20c for the user to position the operating member 300c, and the locking member 500c is also two in this embodiment and includes a locking portion 510c and a limiting portion 520c, respectively, and the limiting portion 520c is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 310c, and when the locking member 500 slides relative to the first part 10c and is aligned with the locking hole P, the locking portion 510c will be engaged with the locking hole P, and the second part 20c is fixed relative to the first part 10c through the operating member 300c, so as to achieve the effect of locking the second part 20c in a specific position.

[0084] Furthermore, if Fig.19 as well as Fig. 20 As shown, the folding mechanism 1c further includes an elastic member 600c, wherein the elastic member 600c is, for example, a spring and is disposed between the operating member 300c and the locking member 500c, and in this embodiment, is also disposed between the operating member 300c and the cover 400c. Preferably, the extension direction of the locking member 500c is inclined relative to the longitudinal direction L, and in this embodiment, the extension direction of the locking member 500c is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L, and the extension direction of the limiting groove 310c is inclined relative to the longitudinal direction L and the extension direction of the locking member 500c. When the user wants to release the locking state of the first part 10c and the second part 20c, the user can pull the operating member 300c and overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 600c to make the operating member 300c slide relative to the first part 10c. At this time, the limiting portion 520c of the locking member 500c will slide along the limiting groove 310c and move from the outer end to the inner end of the limiting groove 310c, so that the locking portion 510c disengages from the locking hole P and releases the locking state of the first part 10c and the second part 20c; and when the user releases his hand, the operating member 300c or the locking member 500c will be affected by the restoring force of the elastic member 600c, so that the locking member 500c is clamped into the nearest locking hole P again, so that the first part 10c and the second part 20c are locked to each other again.

[0085] Preferably, if Figures 18 to 20As shown, the operating member 300c is arranged on the outer side of the bottom plate 22c of the second part 20c, a receiving groove G is formed on the bottom plate 12c of the first part 10c, a locking hole P is arranged on the side of the receiving groove G, and the operating member 300c and the locking member 500c are slidably arranged in the receiving groove G. With such a configuration, during the operation, the operating member 300c, the cover 400c and the locking member 500c and other components will not affect the infant lying in the baby carrier 2c, and will not increase the thickness of the bottom of the baby carrier 2c. It is worth mentioning that in other possible embodiments, the positions of the receiving groove G and the operating member 300c can also be swapped, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 21 to Figure 23 ,in Fig.21 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a baby carrier in an unfolded state using a fifth embodiment of the folding mechanism of the present invention. Fig. 22 for Fig.21 A schematic diagram of a baby carrier from above, and Fig.23 for Fig. 22 The bottom view of the baby carrier after the base is removed and a part of the folding parts are folded. The folding mechanism 1d of the present embodiment is applicable to a baby carrier 2d, which is, for example, a portable sleeping box or a cradle and comprises a first part 10d and a second part 20d, wherein the first part 10d comprises a base 12d and a plurality of folding parts 14d, wherein the folding parts 14d are pivotally connected to the base 12d, and the base 12d, at least one of the folding parts 14d and the second part 20d are sequentially arranged along the longitudinal direction L. Preferably, the baby carrier 2d further comprises a handle 30d, wherein the handle 30d is connected to the two folding parts 14d coplanar with the second part 20d, and can be held by a user to facilitate carrying the baby carrier 2d. In the following, for a clearer description, the folding portion 14d connected to the handle 30d will be referred to as a side folding portion, and the folding portion 14d sequentially arranged with the base 12d and the second portion 20d along the longitudinal direction L will be referred to as a bottom folding portion.

[0087] like Fig.23 As shown, the folding mechanism 1d includes a connecting member 100d, wherein the second portion 20d is slidably connected to the base 12d through the connecting member 100d, and the extending direction of the connecting member 100d is parallel to the longitudinal direction L. In detail, the connecting member 100d of this embodiment is a tube and includes a first tube portion 110d and a second tube portion 120d, wherein the first tube portion 110d is disposed on the base 12d and forms a cavity 112d (see Fig.24), the second tube 120d is connected to the second part 20d and is slidably disposed in the cavity 112d. Furthermore, the first tube 110d is buried in the base 12d, so that the bottom of the baby carrier 2d can be kept flat, and the configuration of the connecting member 100d does not increase the extra thickness of the base 12d. With such a configuration, when the bottom folding part and the side folding part are both pivotally folded relative to the base 12d, the second part 20d can slide toward the base 12d together with the second tube 120d sliding into the cavity 112d, thereby achieving the effect of folding the baby carrier 2d. Preferably, the folding mechanism 1d also includes a pivoting member 16d, wherein the pivoting member 16d is, for example, a hinge, which can assist the side folding part in pivoting and folding relative to the base 12d.

[0088] In addition to the above-mentioned functions, the folding mechanism 1d of this embodiment also has a locking function for locking the first part 10d and the second part 20d in the unfolded state and a releasing function for releasing the above-mentioned locking. Figure 24 to Figure 26 ,in Fig.24 for Fig.21 A schematic cross-sectional view of a baby carrier, Fig.25 for Fig.21 Schematic diagram of the internal components of the baby carrier, and Fig.26 for Fig.25 Schematic diagram of the internal components of the baby carrier when the connecting member is folded. In detail, the folding mechanism 1d of this embodiment further includes a driving member 300d, an operating member 400d and a locking member 500d, wherein the driving member 300d is disposed on the side folding portion to drive the locking member 500d to lock or release the baby carrier 2d; the operating member 400d is connected to the driving member 300d and is protruding or recessed relative to the surface of the side folding portion to provide a user with a grip or buckle to operate the driving member 300d; and the locking member 500d is pivotally connected to the side folding portion and selectively locked to the second portion 20d.

[0089] Specifically, the side folding portion is formed with a first accommodating space S1, a second accommodating space S2 and a slide groove J, wherein the first accommodating space S1 is arranged at the central part of the side folding portion, the number of second accommodating spaces S2 is two and they are arranged at the left and right sides of the side folding portion respectively, and the slide groove J is connected to the first accommodating space S1 and the second accommodating space S2. Preferably, the extension direction of the slide groove J is parallel to the longitudinal direction L, and the driving member 300d and the locking member 500d are respectively buried in the slide groove J and the second accommodating space S2 inside the side folding portion. Fig.25 as well as Fig.26As shown, the driving member 300d forms a limiting groove 310d, and the locking member 500d includes an extension portion 510d and a bent portion 520d, wherein a limiting feature 512d is formed on the extension portion 510d, and the limiting feature 512d is, for example, a convex point or a convex column, and the bent portion 520d is bent relative to the extension portion 510d, and the limiting feature 512d is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 310d. On the other hand, the second part 20d includes a locking portion 22d, wherein the locking portion 22d is, for example, a convex point or a convex column fixed inside the wall surface of the second part 20d. When the infant carrier 2d is in the unfolded state, the bent portion 520d is locked in the locking portion 22d, so that the second part 20d is fixed relative to the first part 10d in the longitudinal direction L by the locking member 500d and the side folding portion.

[0090] Preferably, the handle 30d of the present embodiment is formed with a positioning portion 32d, wherein the positioning portion 32d is, for example, a groove corresponding to the shape of one end of the driving member 300d. When the baby carrier 2d is in the unfolded state, a portion of the handle 30d including the positioning portion 32d is inserted into the first accommodating space S1, and one end of the driving member 300d on the left and right sides is engaged with the positioning portion 32d, thereby completely locking the baby carrier 2d. When the user wants to release the locking state and fold the baby carrier 2d, the user can slide the driving member 300d along the slide groove J toward the left and right sides of the side folding portion for a distance through the operating portion 400d, so that the driving member 300d is separated from the positioning portion 32d, and then the handle 30d is pulled away from the side folding portion, so that the driving members 300d on both sides can slide along the slide groove J toward the first accommodating space S1 and abut against each other, and at this time, the locking member 500d will be driven by the limiting groove 310d through the limiting feature 512d to allow the bent portion 520d to pivot and rotate into the second accommodating space S2. Thereby, the bent portion 520d of the locking member 500d will no longer be locked on the locking portion 22d on the second portion 20d, so that the side folding portion can pivot relative to the base 12d.

[0091] Preferably, the folding mechanism 1d further comprises an elastic member 600d, wherein the elastic member 600d is disposed between the side folding portion and the driving member 300d. With such a configuration, when the user pulls the operating portion 400d and pulls out the handle 30d, the driving member will automatically bring the locking member 500d away from the second portion 20d due to the resetting and abutting of the elastic member 600d, thereby releasing the locking member 500d, thereby eliminating the need for the user to pull the driving member 300d by himself, and when the user inserts the handle 30d into the first accommodating space S1 again, the abutting driving members 300d can temporarily slide toward the two sides of the side folding portion under the elastic force of the elastic member 300d and automatically snap into the positioning portion 32d.

[0092] Please refer to Figures 27 to 32 , which are Fig.21Schematic diagram of the step-by-step process of folding the baby carrier from the unfolded state to the folded state. First, the user can pull the operating part inside the folding part 14d (side folding part), move the driving member 300d toward the two sides of the side folding part and hold the handle 30d as shown in FIG. Fig.28 After releasing the hand, the driving member 300d will be pushed by the elastic member 600d to drive the locking member 500d to rotate into the side folding portion. Fig.29 as well as Fig.30 Generally, the side folding parts on both sides are folded relative to the base 12d. Then, the bottom folding part is folded as shown in FIG. Fig.31 As shown in FIG. 1 , the second portion 20d is folded relative to the base 12d to free up space for the second portion 20d to slide, and then the second portion 20d together with the second tube 120d is slid toward the central portion of the base 12d to form a Fig.32 Shown in collapsed state.

[0093] Compared with the prior art, the folding mechanism 1 of the present invention comprises a first connecting member 100 and a second connecting member 200, which are pivotally connected to the first part 10 and the second part 20 respectively, and the first part 10 can be folded and folded relative to the second part 20 by selectively engaging the limiting part 310 with the locking part 510. In addition, the extending directions of the connecting members 100a, 100b, 100c and 100d of the folding mechanisms 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d of the present invention are respectively parallel to the longitudinal direction L of the first part 10a, 10b, 10c and 10d and the second part 20a, 20b, 20c and 20d, so that the second part 20a, 20b, 20c and 20d can be pivoted, disassembled or slid and folded relative to the first part 10a, 10b, 10c and 10d respectively, which greatly reduces the volume occupied by the baby carriers 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d and improves the convenience in use.
