The animal carrying device A1000 includes a main body A100, a base A200, and a first shielding member A600a. The first shielding member A600a is movably connected to the main body A100 so that the first shielding member A600a can switch between a first position and a second position. The main body A100 is arranged above the base A200, and the main body A100 and the base A200 together form a carrying space A103. The base A200 is made of, for example, a hard material to support the main body A100, and the main body A100 may include fabric pieces and other materials that surround the carrying space A103. Refer to Figure 4The interior of the animal carrying device A1000 includes a carrying space A103 for accommodating animals. It should be noted that "the first shielding member A600a is movably connected to the body A100" includes the following different embodiments: the first shielding member A600a is connected to the body A100, and at least a portion of the first shielding member A600a is movable relative to the body A100 (e.g., flipping or sliding); the first shielding member A600a is detachably connected to the body A100, so that the first shielding member A600a can be separated from the body A100. For example, the first shielding member A600a is made of a fabric sheet, one end of the first shielding member A600a is sewn to the body A100, and the other end of the first shielding member A600a can flip along the sewing line relative to the body A100 between a position close to the top surface of the body A100 and a position close to the side of the body A100.
[0146] Figure 1 and Figure 2 A perspective view of an animal carrying device A1000 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 The first shielding member A600a of the animal carrying device A1000 is located in the second position, Figure 2 The first shielding member A600a in the animal carrying device A1000 is located in the first position. The first shielding member A600a can be used to shield the opening of the carrying space A103 to achieve the switching between sunshade and ventilation. For example, when outdoors, the first shielding member A600a can be used to cover the opening to achieve sunshade (refer to Figure 1 ), such as when in a vehicle, the first shielding member A600a can be removed from the opening to achieve ventilation (refer to Figure 2 ).
[0147] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the body A100 has a top wall A170 and a plurality of side walls connected to the top wall A170. The plurality of side walls of the body A100 may include a left side wall A120, a right side wall A130, a front side wall A140, and a rear side wall A160. Among them, the front side wall A140 forms the front wall of the carrying space A103, the left side wall A120 forms the left wall of the carrying space A103, the right side wall A130 forms the right wall of the carrying space A103, the rear side wall A160 forms the rear wall of the carrying space A103, and the top wall A170 forms the top wall of the carrying space A103. In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the carrying space A103 is formed by the base A200, and the front side wall A140, the left side wall A120, the right side wall A130, and the rear side wall A160 are directly connected to the base A200. In some alternative embodiments, the body A100 has a bottom wall, which is fixed to the base A200 and forms the bottom wall of the carrying space A103. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the base A200 constitutes the bottom wall of the body A100.
[0148] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the animal carrier A1000 is equipped with handles A180 for carrying the animal carrier A1000. There are two handles A180, one fixed to the front sidewall A140 and the other to the rear sidewall A160. Specifically, each handle A180 is formed by sewing a webbing onto the body A100.
[0149] like Figure 4 As shown, an anchor structure A400 is provided on the rear side wall A160 of the animal carrier A1000. Anchor structure A400 is adapted to connect to a vehicle seat to secure the animal carrier A1000 thereto. In this embodiment, anchor structure A400 includes at least one ISOFIX connection assembly A410, which is configured to connect to at least one connection point on the vehicle seat. In an alternative embodiment, anchor structure A400 includes at least one Latch connection assembly, which is configured to connect to at least one connection point on the vehicle seat. The specific structure of anchor structure A400 is not described in detail herein.
[0150] Continue to refer to Figure 4 , the rear side wall A160 of the main body A100 is provided with a connecting cloth A905, and a penetration channel is formed between the connecting cloth A905 and the rear side wall A160, and the penetration channel is used for, for example, the pull rod of a suitcase to pass through. The penetration channel is passed through in a direction perpendicular to the base A200, that is, the penetration channel is passed through in the up and down directions. Specifically, the left and right ends of the connecting cloth A905 are respectively fixedly connected to the side walls of the rear side wall A160 of the main body A100 by sewing. In this embodiment, the connecting cloth A905 is a multi-layer woven structure, and a pocket is formed between the multi-layer woven structure, which can be used to place items. A zipper A904 is provided at the opening of the pocket to open or close the pocket. Optionally, the connecting cloth A905 and the anchoring structure A400 are located on the same side of the main body A100.
[0151] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the top wall A170 of the main body A100 is provided with a top wall viewing area A171. The top wall viewing area A171 includes a top wall opening A1701 and a top wall breathable mesh A903 covering the top wall opening A1701. The shape of the top wall breathable mesh A903 matches the shape of the top wall opening A1701. In other words, the position of the top wall breathable mesh A903 corresponds to the position of the top wall opening A1701. The provision of the top wall breathable mesh A903 not only facilitates the observation of the animals in the main body A100, but also increases the breathability of the main body A100. In some alternative embodiments, the top wall viewing area A171 can be formed by the top wall opening A1701 and a transparent object provided at the top wall opening A1701 to facilitate viewing through the top wall viewing area A171, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0152] like Figure 1 As shown, one of the left side wall A120 of the body A100 and the right side wall A130 of the body A100 is provided with an opening (ie, a first opening A1301), and the first opening A1301 may be covered with a breathable mesh A901; Figure 2 As shown, the other of the left side wall A120 of the body A100 and the right side wall A130 of the body A100 is provided with an opening (i.e., a second opening A1201), and the second opening A1201 is covered with a breathable mesh A902. In this embodiment, the right side wall A130 is provided with a first opening A1301, and the breathable mesh A901 is provided at the first opening A1301; the left side wall A120 is provided with a second opening A1201, and the breathable mesh A902 is provided at the second opening A1201. The shape of the breathable mesh A901 matches the shape of the first opening A1301, and the shape of the breathable mesh A902 matches the shape of the second opening A1201. In other words, the position of the breathable mesh A901 corresponds to the position of the first opening A1301, and the position of the breathable mesh A902 corresponds to the position of the second opening A1201. The structure and shape of breathable mesh A901 and breathable mesh A902 are essentially identical. The area corresponding to the first opening A1301 and the second opening A1201 serves as the buffering area. The provision of breathable meshes (including top wall breathable mesh A903, breathable mesh A901, and breathable mesh A902) improves the air permeability of the carrying space A103 within the animal carrying device A1000.
[0153] In another embodiment, the body A100 may be provided with a breathable mesh A901 and a top wall breathable mesh A903, but not with the breathable mesh A902. In still other embodiments, the top wall A170 is provided with the top wall breathable mesh A903, and at least one of the front side wall A140 and the rear side wall A160 is provided with another breathable mesh (not shown). In other embodiments, one of the left side wall A120 and the right side wall A130 of the body A100 is provided with the breathable mesh A901, and at least one of the front side wall A140 and the rear side wall A160 of the body A100 is provided with another breathable mesh (not shown), and the top wall A170 is not provided with the top wall breathable mesh A903. In other words, other breathable meshes are provided on any at least two adjacent surfaces of the front side wall A140, rear side wall A160, left side wall A120, right side wall A130 and top wall A170 of the main body A100, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0154] Back to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at least one of the top wall breathable mesh A903 and the breathable mesh A901 can be opened and closed on the body A100 by, for example, a zipper A904, so as to allow the carrying space A103 to be opened or closed (see FIG. Figure 4), thereby facilitating animals' entry and exit from the animal carrying device A1000. The top wall breathable mesh A903 is openably and closably disposed at the top wall opening A1701 via a zipper A904. Optionally, when the top wall breathable mesh A903 is not closed by the zipper A904, the top wall breathable mesh A903 can be flipped forward and backward relative to the body A100, or left and right relative to the body A100, or can be separated from the top wall A170. The breathable mesh A901 is openably and closably disposed at the first opening A1301 via a zipper A904. Optionally, when the breathable mesh A901 is not closed by the zipper A904, the breathable mesh A901 can be flipped forward and backward relative to the body A100, or the breathable mesh A901 can be flipped up and down relative to the body A100, or the breathable mesh A901 can be separated from the right side wall A130. Similarly, the breathable mesh A902 is disposed at the second opening A1201 in a retractable manner via the zipper A904. Optionally, when the breathable mesh A902 is not closed by the zipper A904, the breathable mesh A902 can be flipped forward and backward relative to the body A100, or the breathable mesh A902 can be flipped up and down relative to the body A100, or the breathable mesh A902 can be separated from the left side wall A120. In this embodiment, the side of the top wall breathable mesh A903 near the right side wall A130 is connected to the top wall A170 by, for example, sewing, to allow the top wall breathable mesh A903 to flip left and right relative to the body A100. One side of the breathable mesh A901 is connected to the right side wall A130 by, for example, sewing, to allow the breathable mesh A901 to flip up and down or front and back. One side of the breathable mesh A902 is connected to the left side wall A120 by, for example, sewing, to allow the breathable mesh A902 to flip up and down or front and back.
[0155] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first shielding member A600a is flippably arranged on the main body A100. The first shielding member A600a is provided with a first protective structure A610, which is used to buffer the external impact that may be received by the buffering area, so as to reduce the damage that the external impact force may cause to the animals in the carrying space A103. One end of the first shielding member A600a serves as a first pivot end A601 and is connected to the main body A100, so that the first shielding member A600a can be flipped between the first position and the second position. Figure 1 As shown, the second position is a sunshade position, which can prevent sunlight from entering the body A100 from the top wall A170; Figure 2As shown, the first position is a protective position, which can cushion the impact force that the side wall of the main body A100 may bear. The end of the first shielding member A600a away from the first pivot end A601 serves as the first movable end A603. Specifically, the first pivot end A601 is connected to the main body A100 at a position between the top wall viewing area A171 and the first opening A1301. In other words, the main body A100 has a first fixed connection part A101 connected to the first pivot end A601 of the first shielding member A600a, and the first fixed connection part A101 is located between the top wall viewing area A171 and the first opening A1301. The first fixed connection part A101 can be located on the top wall A170 of the main body A100, or on the right side wall A130 of the main body A100.
[0156] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The first shielding member A600a can be an elastic member that can return to its original shape after flexible deformation. The first shielding member A600a is suitable for being connected to the body A100 or the base A200 through a fixing mechanism A700, so that the first shielding member A600a is adaptively fitted with the outer side surface of the side wall of the body A100 or the outer side surface of the top wall A170. In other words, the first shielding member A600a can be fixed to at least one of the top wall A170 and the side wall of the body A100 through the fixing mechanism A700. The specific structure of the fixing mechanism A700 will be described in detail later.
[0157] Reference Figure 2 When the first shielding member A600a is in the first position, the first protective structure A610 at least partially covers one of the multiple side walls of the main body A100, so that the external impact that the side wall may be subjected to can be buffered. At this time, the first shielding member A600a is connected to the side wall or base A200 of the main body A100 through the fixing mechanism A700, so that the first shielding member A600a is in contact with the outer side surface of the side wall of the main body A100. Specifically, when the first shielding member A600a is in the first position, the first protective structure A610 of the first shielding member A600a at least partially covers the right side wall A130. More specifically, the first protective structure A610 covers the first opening A1301 where the breathable mesh A901 is located (i.e., the breathable mesh A901, i.e., covers the area to be buffered on the right side wall A130). In this way, the external impact that the area to be buffered on the right side wall A130 may be subjected to can be buffered. Optionally, no opening may be provided on the right side wall A130. Figure 1 and Figure 2When the first shielding member A600a is in the second position, the first shielding member A600a at least partially covers the top wall viewing area A171. At this time, the first shielding member A600a is connected to the top wall A170 of the main body A100 through the fixing mechanism A700, so that the first shielding member A600a is in contact with the outer side surface of the top wall A170. In this embodiment, when the first shielding member A600a is in the second position, the first shielding member A600a covers the top wall viewing area A171. Specifically, the first shielding member A600a covers the top wall opening A1701 (that is, it is equivalent to completely covering the top wall breathable mesh A903). In this way, sunlight can be blocked to prevent direct sunlight from entering the bearing space A103, and external impact forces that the top wall may bear can be appropriately buffered. That is to say, when the first shielding member A600a is in the second position, the first shielding member A600a covers the top wall viewing area A171, and the first protective structure A610 can cover the top wall viewing area A171 or only cover a part of the top wall viewing area A171. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0158] The shape of the first protective structure A610 of the first shielding member A600a matches the shape of the first opening A1301 (i.e., the buffering area of the right side wall A130), which is equivalent to matching the shape of the breathable mesh A901 of the right side wall A130. In some alternative embodiments, the shape of the first protective structure A610 may not match the shape of the breathable mesh A901, as long as the first protective structure A610 can substantially cover the breathable mesh A901.
[0159] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the first shielding member A600a has a first side surface A631 and a second side surface A632 arranged opposite to each other. The first side surface A631 is adapted to face the top wall breathable mesh A903. The second side surface A632 is adapted to face one of the multiple side walls of the body A100. When the first side surface A631 is in the second position, the first side surface A631 abuts against and blocks the first opening A1301 located on the top wall of the body A100, while the second side surface A632 is exposed to the outside world. When the first side surface A631 moves from the second position to the first position, the second side surface A632 abuts against and blocks the side wall of the body A100, while the first side surface A631 is exposed to the outside world. The first shielding member A600a includes a first shielding cloth cover A630, and the first protective structure A610 is disposed within the first shielding cloth cover A630. The first shielding cloth cover A630 is a multi-layer woven fabric structure, that is, the first protective structure A610 is disposed between two adjacent layers of woven fabric. Specifically, the multiple layers of woven fabric are connected by methods such as sewing, bonding, and heat welding. The first shielding cloth cover A630 is formed into a first side surface A631 and a second side surface A632 respectively. One end of the first shielding cloth cover A630 forms a first pivot end A601, and the other end forms a first movable end A603. The first pivot end A601 is fixedly connected to the first fixed connection part A101 by methods such as sewing. Optionally, the first pivot end A601 is fixedly connected to the first fixed connection part A101 by welding, bonding, etc., or the first pivot end A601 is detachably connected to the first fixed connection part A101 by cooperating components (such as hooks and buckles that can cooperate with each other, a zipper that can be pulled together, etc.).
[0160] The first protective structure A610 includes a first protective layer A611 and a second protective layer A612. The second protective layer A612 is stacked on the first protective layer A611, and the second protective layer A612 is further away from the first side surface A631 than the first protective layer A611. In other words, when the first shielding member A600a is in the first position, the second side surface A632 faces the first opening A1301 (that is, the breathable mesh A901), and the first protective layer A611 is further away from the first opening A1301 than the second protective layer A612.
[0161] Among them, the first protective layer A611 has better elasticity than the second protective layer A612. The second protective layer A612 is a plate-like structure, and the material of the second protective layer A612 is selected from at least one of PE (POLYETHYLENE, polyethylene), EPP (EXPANDED POLYPROPYLENE, expanded polypropylene), EPS (EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE, expanded polystyrene) and EPO (EXPANDED POLYOLEFIN, expanded polyolefin). The material of the first protective layer A611 is foam, such as inert foam. In this way, when the area to be buffered of the right side wall A130 is impacted, the first protective layer A611 can be used to absorb the external impact force well, and the second protective layer A612 can be used to reduce the deformation of the first shielding member A600a, thereby better reducing the deformation of the right side wall A130 under external impact force.
[0162] Of course, in other embodiments, the first protective structure A610 can also be provided with more layers of protective layers, such as three layers, four layers of protective layers, etc. Exemplarily, the first protective structure A610 is provided with a third protective layer. The third protective layer can be a PE board, an EPP board, an EPS board, etc. Optionally, the third protective layer is located on the side of the first protective layer A611 away from the second protective layer A612. That is, the first protective layer A611 is located between the second protective layer A612 and the third protective layer. That is, the middle layer of the first protective structure A610 is foam, and the outer layers on both sides of the middle layer are PE boards, EPP boards, EPS boards, etc. Optionally, the third protective layer is located between the first protective layer A611 and the second protective layer A612.
[0163] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the fixing mechanism A700 includes a first fixing member A711, a first matching member A721, and a second matching member A722. The first fixing member A711 is provided on the first shielding member A600a. The first matching member A721 is provided on the base or on the side wall of the body, and the first matching member A721 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing member A711 so that the first shielding member A600a is fitted with the outer side surface of the side wall. The second matching member A722 is provided on the top wall A170, and the second matching member A722 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing member A711 so that the first shielding member A600a is fitted with the outer side surface of the top wall A170. This can prevent the first shielding member A600a from being accidentally lifted up.
[0164] Combine Figures 3 to 5As shown, the first fixing member A711 is disposed at the first movable end A603 of the first shielding member A600a. The first matching member A721 is disposed on the base A200 or at a position of the main body A100 between the first opening A1301 and the base A200. In this embodiment, the first matching member A721 is disposed on the base A200. When the first shielding member A600a is in the first position, the first fixing member A711 and the first matching member A721 are detachably connected, so that the first movable end A603 is fixed to the base A200. At this time, the first shielding member A600a at least partially covers the right side wall A130. Specifically, when the first shielding member A600a is in the first position, the lower edge of the first protective structure A610 is flush with the upper edge of the base A200 (i.e., the upper edge of the right side surface of the base A200) or extends downwardly beyond the upper edge of the right side surface of the base A200. This can better cushion the external impact force that the buffering area of the right side wall A130 may be subjected to. More specifically, the first fixing member A711 and the first matching member A721 are a pair of magnets that can attract each other. The first fixing member A711 is embedded in the first shielding cloth cover A630. Specifically, the first fixing member A711 is fixed to the first shielding cloth cover A630 by, for example, sewing. The first matching member A721 is embedded in the base A200. This not only facilitates the detachable connection between the first fixing member A711 and the first matching member A721, preventing the first shielding member A600a from being accidentally opened, but also makes the appearance of the animal carrying device A1000 more simple and beautiful.
[0165] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the second fitting part A722 is arranged at a position between the top wall viewing area A171 and the second opening A1201 (that is, the breathable mesh A902) of the main body A100. That is, the second fitting part A722 is arranged on the side of the top wall viewing area A171 opposite to the first fixed connection part A101. In this embodiment, the second fitting part A722 is a magnet that can be attracted to the first fixing part A711. That is to say, the first fixing part A711, the first fitting part A721 and the second fitting part A722 are all magnets. Among them, the second fitting part A722 is embedded in the top wall A170 of the main body A100. Specifically, the second fitting part A722 is fixed in the top wall A170 of the main body A100 by sewing. When the first shielding member A600a flips to the second position, the first fixing member A711 engages with the second mating member A722, thereby securing the first movable end A603 to the body A100 and preventing the first shielding member A600a from being accidentally opened. Thus, when the first shielding member A600a flips between the first and second positions, the first fixing member A711 automatically engages with the second mating member A722 or the first mating member A721 at the corresponding position.
[0166] Optionally, multiple second mating parts A722 can be arranged around the top wall viewing area A171, and multiple first fixing parts A711 can also be set at the corresponding positions of the first shielding part A600a, so that the first shielding part A600a can be fixed more firmly to the top wall A170. Similarly, multiple first mating parts A721 can be arranged around the first opening A1301, and multiple first fixing parts A711 can also be set at the corresponding positions of the first shielding part A600a, so that the first shielding part A600a can be fixed more firmly to the side wall of the body A100. Optionally, the first fixing part A711 is a hook, and the first mating part A721 and the second mating part A722 are respectively hanging rings suitable for being hooked by the first fixing part A711. Alternatively, the first mating part A721 and the second mating part A722 are respectively hooks, and the first fixing part A711 is a hanging ring. This application is not limited to this.
[0167] In an alternative embodiment, the fixing mechanism A700 includes a first fixing member A711, a second fixing member (not shown), a first matching member A721, and a second matching member A722. The first fixing member A711 is provided on the first shielding member A600a. The first matching member A721 is provided on the base A200 or on the side wall of the main body A100, and the first matching member A721 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing member A711 so that the first shielding member A600a is in contact with the outer side surface of the side wall. The second fixing member (not shown) is provided on the first shielding member A600a. The second matching member A722 is provided on the top wall A170, and the second matching member A722 is adapted to be detachably connected to the second fixing member (not shown) so that the first shielding member A600a is in contact with the outer side surface of the top wall. The first fixing member A711 and the first matching member A721 are a pair of magnets, a pair of snaps, or a pair of adhesive buckles, or zippers that can be pulled together, or hooks and loops that can cooperate with each other. The second fixing member and the second mating member A722 may be, for example, a pair of magnets, a pair of snaps, or a pair of adhesive fasteners, or a zipper that can be pulled together, or a hook and loop that can be mated together. The two sets of mating components, the first fixing member A711 and the first mating member A721, and the second fixing member and the second mating member A722, may be the same or different, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.
[0168] According to the animal carrying device A1000 provided in this embodiment, the first shielding member A600a is reversibly mounted on the body A100, allowing the user to selectively position the first shielding member A600a in either the second or first position depending on the environment. When the animal carrying device A1000 is carried outdoors, the first shielding member A600a can be flipped to the second position, thereby covering the top wall viewing area A171. This protects the pet inside the animal carrying device A1000 from sunlight, ensuring air circulation within the device, while also providing a certain degree of protection and cushioning. When the first shielding member A600a is flipped to the first position, the first protective structure A610 provided on the first shielding member A600a effectively protects and cushions the sidewalls of the animal carrying device A1000. The animal carrying device A1000 provided in this embodiment provides both sun protection and excellent protection and cushioning. In addition, the flippable first shielding member A600a also has the advantages of being easy to operate and not easy to lose.
[0169] In this embodiment, because the first protective structure A610 is only provided on the right side wall A130 of the body A100, when the animal carrier A1000 is placed on a vehicle seat for use, the right side wall provided with the first protective structure A610 can be positioned close to the vehicle door. This can reduce the potential for injury to the animal within the animal carrier A1000 due to accidental collision with the vehicle door.
[0170] Example 2
[0171] Figure 7 1 is a perspective view of an animal carrying device A1000 according to a second embodiment of the present invention, wherein the animal carrying device A1000 is installed with a buffer body A510 and a first shielding member A600a is located in a first position.
[0172] It should be noted that when the animal carrying device A1000 in the second embodiment is not equipped with the buffer body A510, its structure may refer to the structure of the animal carrying device A1000 in the first embodiment.
[0173] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 includes a body A100, a base A200, and a first shielding member A600a. The body A100 is positioned above the base A200. The top wall A170 of the body A100 is provided with a top wall viewing area A171, which is covered with a top wall breathable mesh A903. One of the left side wall A120 of the body A100 or the right side wall A130 of the body A100 is provided with a first opening A1301, which is covered with a breathable mesh A901. The other of the left side wall A120 and the right side wall A130 of the body A100 is provided with a second opening A1201, which is covered with a breathable mesh A902. In this embodiment, the right side wall A130 is provided with a first opening A1301, and a breathable mesh A901 is provided at the first opening A1301; the left side wall A120 is provided with a second opening A1201, and a breathable mesh A902 is provided at the second opening A1201. The structure and shape of the breathable meshes A901 and A902 are substantially the same, and the area corresponding to the first opening A1301 and the second opening A1201 is the area to be buffered.
[0174] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 The first shielding member A600a is reversibly disposed on the body A100 and is provided with a first protective structure A610, so as to be reversible between a second position and a first position. The first pivot end A601 of the first shielding member A600a is connected to the body A100 at a position located between the top wall viewing area A171 (i.e., the top wall breathable mesh A903) and the first opening A1301 (the breathable mesh), that is, the first pivot end A601 is connected to the first fixed connection portion A101 of the body A100.
[0175] This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in at least the following ways.
[0176] like Figure 7 As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 further includes a buffer body A510. The buffer body A510 is detachably mounted on the body A100 via a connecting mechanism and at least partially covers another of the multiple side walls of the body A100. In this embodiment, the buffer body A510 at least partially covers the left side wall A120 of the body A100. Optionally, the buffer body A510 is adapted to at least partially cover the right side wall A130, and the first shielding member A600a is adapted to at least partially cover the left side wall A140, which is not limited in this application. Figure 1 and Figure 7, the buffer body A510 is detachably covered at the second opening A1201 (i.e., the breathable mesh A902) through a connecting mechanism. That is equivalent to: the buffer body A510 is detachably arranged on the left side wall A140 of the main body A100 through a connecting mechanism, and covers the second opening A1201 (i.e., covers the area to be buffered on the left side wall A120). The shape of the buffer body A510 matches the shape of the second opening A1201, which is equivalent to matching the shape of the breathable mesh A902 on the left side wall A120. In some alternative embodiments, the shape of the buffer body A510 may not match the shape of the second opening A1201, as long as the buffer body A510 can basically cover the second opening A1201.
[0177] In this embodiment, because the left side wall A120 is provided with a detachable buffer body A510, and the right side wall A130 can be provided with a reversible first protective structure A610, it is equivalent to providing anti-collision buffer structures on both the left side wall A120 and the right side wall A130 of the animal carrying device A1000. Either side wall of the animal carrying device A1000 can be positioned near a vehicle door, eliminating the need to place the animal carrying device A1000 on a specific seat in the vehicle. This allows for flexible placement of the animal carrying device A1000, improving its usability and enhancing its anti-collision buffering performance.
[0178] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the buffer body A510 includes a first buffer layer A511, a second buffer layer A512 and a protective cover A513, and the first buffer layer A511 and the second buffer layer A512 are stacked. The protective cover A513 is coated on the outside of the first buffer layer A511 and the second buffer layer A512. The protective cover A513 can not only prevent the first buffer layer A511 and the second buffer layer A512 of the buffer body A510 from separating from each other during use, but also facilitate the installation of the buffer body A510 on the main body A100. The buffer body A510 has a back side A515 facing the main body A100 and a front side A514 away from the main body A100. A breathable mesh is provided on the side of the main body A100 facing the buffer body A510. The side of the protective cover A513 away from the main body A100 forms the front side A514 of the buffer body A510.
[0179] Among them, the first buffer layer A511 is farther away from the main body A100 than the second buffer layer A512, that is, the second buffer layer A512 is close to the main body A100. In other words, the first buffer layer A511 is arranged close to the front side A514 of the buffer body A510, and the second buffer layer A512 is arranged close to the back side A515 of the buffer body A510. The first buffer layer A511 has better elasticity than the second buffer layer A512. Specifically, the second buffer layer A512 is a plate-like structure, and the material of the second buffer layer A512 is selected from at least one of EPP foam, EPS foam and EPO foam. The material of the first buffer layer A511 is foam. The buffer body A510 can not only absorb external impact force well, but also reduce the deformation of the breathable mesh of the main body A100 under external impact force.
[0180] Of course, in other embodiments, the buffer body A510 may be provided with more buffer layers, such as three or four buffer layers. For example, the buffer body A510 is provided with a third buffer layer, which is located between the first buffer layer A511 and the second buffer layer A512, or located on one side of the first buffer layer A511. The third buffer layer may be a PE board or an EPP board, for example.
[0181] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in one embodiment, the connection mechanism includes a first matching portion A520 and a second matching portion A150. The buffer body A510 is provided with a plurality of first matching portions A520, and the plurality of first matching portions A520 are provided on the back side A515 of the buffer body A510. The main body A100 is correspondingly provided with a plurality of second matching portions A150, and the plurality of first matching portions A520 are suitable for matching and connecting with the plurality of second matching portions A150 so that the buffer body A510 can basically cover the area to be buffered. The plurality of second matching portions A150 are respectively located on opposite sides of the second opening A1201. Exemplarily, the plurality of second fitting parts A150 are respectively located on the upper side of the second opening A1201 (i.e., the second fitting part A150 is provided at a position of the main body A100 between the second opening A1201 and the top wall viewing area A171) and the second fitting part A150 is located on the lower side of the second opening A1201 (i.e., the second fitting part A150 is provided on the base A200 or provided at a position of the main body A100 between the base A200 and the second opening A1201). Or, exemplarily, the second fitting parts A150 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the second opening A1201. The positions of the plurality of first fitting parts A520 correspond to the plurality of second fitting parts A150. Specifically, the buffer body A510 is roughly in the shape of an elongated strip, and the first fitting parts A520 are respectively provided at both ends of the buffer body A510. The plurality of first fitting parts A150 are edge accessories respectively provided on the buffer body A510. More specifically, a plurality of first matching portions A150 are respectively provided at the upper end and the lower end of the buffer body A510.
[0182] like Figure 7 As shown, one of the first matching portion A520 and the second matching portion A150 is a hook, and the other of the first matching portion A520 and the second matching portion A150 is a buckle, and the hook is suitable for hooking on the buckle. In this embodiment, the first matching portion A520 provided on the buffer body A510 is a hook, and the second matching portion A150 provided on the main body A100 is a buckle. The buckle can be formed by a webbing sewn on the main body A100. In some alternative embodiments, the first matching portion A520 and the second matching portion A150 are, for example, a pair of Velcro or snap fasteners provided on the main body A100 and the buffer body A510, respectively, and this application does not limit this.
[0183] Example 3
[0184] Figure 10 and Figure 11 The three-dimensional diagrams of the animal carrying device A1000 according to the third embodiment of the present invention are shown respectively. Figure 10 The first shielding member A600a of the animal carrying device A1000 is located in the second position, and the second shielding member A600b is located in the fourth position. Figure 11The first shielding member A600a of the animal carrying device A1000 is located in the first position, and the second shielding member A600b is located in the third position.
[0185] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 includes a body A100, a base A200, a first shielding member A600a, and a second shielding member A600b. The body A100 is positioned above the base A200. The top wall A170 of the body A100 is provided with a top wall viewing area A171, which is covered with a top wall breathable mesh A903. A first opening A1301 is provided on one of the left side wall A120 and the right side wall A130 of the body A100, and the first opening A1301 is covered with a breathable mesh A901. The other of the left side wall A120 and the right side wall A130 of the body A100 is provided with a second opening A1201, and the second opening A1201 is covered with a breathable mesh A902. In this embodiment, the right side wall A130 is provided with a first opening A1301, and a breathable mesh A901 is provided at the first opening A1301; the left side wall A120 is provided with a second opening A1201, and a breathable mesh A902 is provided at the second opening A1201. The structure and shape of the breathable meshes A901 and A902 are substantially the same, and the area corresponding to the first opening A1301 and the second opening A1201 is the area to be buffered.
[0186] The structure of the first shielding member A600a may refer to the structure of the first shielding member A600a in the animal carrying device A1000 in the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.
[0187] The animal carrying device A1000 in this embodiment differs from the animal carrying device A1000 in the first embodiment in at least the following ways.
[0188] Reference Figures 10 to 12, the second shielding member A600b is flippably arranged on the main body A100 and is provided with a second protective structure A620. One end of the second shielding member A600b serves as a second pivot end A602 and is connected to the main body A100, so that the second shielding member A600b can be flipped between a third position and a fourth position. Among them, the fourth position is a sunshade position, which can prevent sunlight from shining into the main body A100 from the top wall A170; the third position is a protective position, which can buffer the impact force that the side wall of the main body A100 may bear. The second shielding member A600b also has a second movable end A604 opposite to the first pivot end A601. Specifically, the second pivot end A602 is connected to the main body A100 at a position between the top wall viewing area A171 and the second opening A1201. In other words, the body A100 has a second fixed connection portion A102 connected to the second pivot end A602 of the second shielding member A600b. The second fixed connection portion A102 is located between the top wall viewing area A171 and the second opening A1201. The second fixed connection portion A102 can be located on the top wall A170 of the body A100 or on the left side wall A120 of the body A100. In other embodiments not shown, other shielding members (not shown) may also be provided, and this application does not limit this.
[0189] like Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the structure of the second shielding member A600b is substantially the same as that of the first shielding member A600a. The second shielding member A600b is an elastic member. The second shielding member A600b is adapted to be connected to the first shielding member A600a, the body A100, or the base A200 via a fixing mechanism A700, so that the second shielding member A600b adaptively conforms to the outer side surface of the top wall A170 of the body A100 or another of the multiple side walls of the body A100. In other words, the second shielding member A600b can be fixed to at least one of the top wall A170 and the side walls of the body A100 via the fixing mechanism A700.
[0190] Reference Figure 11When the second shielding member A600b is in the third position, the second protective structure A620 at least partially covers another one of the multiple side walls of the main body A100, so that the external impact that the side wall may be subjected to can be buffered. At this time, the second shielding member A600b is connected to the side wall or base A200 of the main body A100 through the fixing mechanism A700, so that the second shielding member A600b is in contact with the outer side surface of the side wall of the main body A100. Specifically, when the second shielding member A600b is in the third position, the first protective structure A610 of the second shielding member A600b at least partially covers the left side wall A120, more specifically, the second protective structure A620 of the second shielding member A600b covers the second opening A1201, that is, the second shielding member A600b covers the breathable mesh A902 (that is, covers the area to be buffered on the left side wall A120). In this way, the external impact that the area to be buffered on the left side wall A120 may be buffered. Optionally, the positions of the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b can be interchanged, which is not limited in this application.
[0191] Reference Figure 10 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 When the first shielding member A600a is in the second position and the second shielding member A600b is in the fourth position, the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b jointly cover the top wall viewing area A171, that is, jointly cover the top wall breathable mesh A903. This can block sunlight and prevent it from directly entering the bearing space A103, and can also properly buffer the external impact force that the top wall may bear. Specifically, when the first shielding member A600a is in the second position and the second shielding member A600b is in the fourth position, the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b at least partially overlap. Combined with reference Figure 13 When the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b overlap each other, the overlapping area thereof is the overlapping area I. The overlapping area I may completely cover the top wall viewing area A171 or partially cover the top wall viewing area A171. In other words, the two shielding members 600 at least partially overlap, including the following embodiments: the two shielding members 600 completely or partially overlap, the overlapping area I completely covers the top wall viewing area A171, and each shielding member 600 completely covers the top wall viewing area A171; the two shielding members 600 partially overlap, the overlapping area I partially covers the top wall viewing area A171, one of the two shielding members 600 completely covers the top wall viewing area A171, and the other of the two shielding members 600 partially covers the top wall viewing area A171; the two shielding members 600 partially overlap, the overlapping area I partially covers the top wall viewing area A171, and each shielding member 600 partially covers the top wall viewing area A171.
[0192] The shape of the second protective structure A620 of the second shielding member A600b matches the shape of the second opening A1201 (i.e., the buffering area of the left side wall A120), which is equivalent to matching the shape of the breathable mesh A902 of the left side wall A120. In some alternative embodiments, the shape of the second protective structure A620 may not match the shape of the breathable mesh A902, as long as the second protective structure A620 can substantially cover the breathable mesh A902.
[0193] like Figure 10 and Figure 13 As shown, the second shielding member A600b has a first surface A641 and a second surface A642 arranged opposite to each other, and the second surface A642 of the second shielding member A600b is suitable for facing the side wall of the body A100 (i.e., the left side wall A120). The second shielding member A600b includes a second shielding cloth cover A640, and the second protective structure A620 is arranged in the second shielding cloth cover A640. The second shielding cloth cover A640 is a multi-layer woven fabric structure, that is, the second protective structure A620 is arranged between two adjacent layers of woven fabric. Specifically, the multi-layer woven fabric is connected by methods such as sewing, bonding, and thermal welding. The second shielding cloth cover A640 is formed into a first surface A641 and a second surface A642. One end of the second shielding cloth cover A640 forms a second pivot end A602, and the other end forms a second movable end A604. The second pivot end A602 is fixedly connected to the second fixed connection part A102 by methods such as sewing. Optionally, the second pivot end A602 is fixedly connected to the second fixed connection part A102 by welding, bonding, etc., or the second pivot end A602 is detachably connected to the second fixed connection part A102 through cooperating components (such as hooks and buckles that can cooperate with each other, zippers that can be pulled together, etc.).
[0194] The second protective structure A620 includes a first protective layer A621 and a second protective layer A622. The second protective layer A622 is stacked on the first protective layer A621, and the second protective layer A622 is further away from the first surface A641 than the first protective layer A621. That is, when the second shielding member A600b is in the third position, the second surface A642 faces the second opening A1302 (that is, the breathable mesh A902), and the first protective layer A621 is further away from the second opening A1302 than the second protective layer A622.
[0195] The first protective layer A621 is similar to the first protective layer A611, and the second protective layer A622 is similar to the second protective layer A612. The first protective layer A621 has greater elasticity than the second protective layer A622. The second protective layer A622 has a plate-like structure and is made of at least one material selected from PE (polyethylene), EPP (expanded polypropylene), EPS (expanded polystyrene), and EPO (expanded polyolefin). The first protective layer A621 is made of foam, such as an inert foam. In this way, when the buffering area of the left side wall A120 is impacted, the first protective layer A621 can be used to absorb the external impact force well, and the second protective layer A622 can be used to reduce the deformation of the second covering member A600b, thereby better reducing the deformation of the left side wall A120 under external impact force.
[0196] Of course, in other embodiments, the second protective structure A620 can also be provided with more layers of protective layers, such as three layers, four layers of protective layers, etc. Exemplarily, the second protective structure A620 is provided with a third protective layer. The third protective layer can be a PE board, an EPP board, an EPS board, etc. Optionally, the third protective layer is located on the side of the first protective layer A621 away from the second protective layer A622. That is, the first protective layer A621 is located between the second protective layer A622 and the third protective layer. That is, the middle layer of the second protective structure A620 is foam, and the outer layers on both sides of the middle layer are PE boards, EPP boards, EPS boards, etc. Optionally, the third protective layer is located between the first protective layer A621 and the second protective layer A622.
[0197] Reference Figures 10 to 13, the fixing mechanism A700 includes a first fixing part A731, a first adapter part A741, a first matching part A721 and a first fixing part A711. The first fixing part A731 is arranged on the second shielding part A600b. The first adapter part A741 is arranged on the base A200 or on the side wall of the main body A100 (i.e., the left side wall A120). Specifically, the first adapter part A741 is arranged on the base A200. The first adapter part A741 is suitable for being detachably connected to the first fixing part A731 so that the second shielding part A600b is fitted with the outer side surface of the side wall of the main body A100. The first matching part A721 is arranged on the base A200 or on the side wall of the main body A100 (i.e., the right side wall A130). Specifically, the first matching part A721 is arranged on the base A200. The first fixing part A711 is arranged on the first shielding part A600a. The first fixing member A711 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first mating member A721, so that the first shielding member A600a is in contact with the outer side of the side wall (i.e., the right side wall A130) of the body A100. The first fixing member A711 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing member A731, thereby connecting the second shielding member A600b to the first shielding member A600a, so that the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b jointly block the top wall viewing area A171.
[0198] Among them, the first fixing part A711 and the first matching part A721 are magnets that can attract each other. The first fixing part A711 is embedded in the first shielding cloth cover A630, and the first matching part A721 is embedded in the base A200. Specifically, the first matching part A721 is embedded in the right side of the base A200. The first fixing part A731 and the first adapter part A741 are magnets that can attract each other. The first fixing part A731 is embedded in the second shielding cloth cover A640, and the first adapter part A741 is embedded in the base A200. Specifically, the first adapter part A741 is embedded in the left side of the base A200. The first fixing part A711 and the first fixing part A731 are magnets that can attract each other. In other words, the first fixing part A711, the first matching part A721, the first fixing part A731 and the first adapter part A741 are all magnets. This application does not limit the number of the first fixing member A711, the first matching member A721, the first fixing member A731, and the first adapter member A741. They can be one or more. Similarly, their respective numbers can be the same or different, as long as they can meet the mutual cooperation relationship.
[0199] When the first shielding member A600a is in the first position, the first fixing member A711 and the first matching member A721 are attracted to each other. When the second shielding member A600b is in the third position, the first fixing member A731 and the first matching member A741 are attracted to each other. Figure 11 and Figure 12 When the second shielding member A600b is in the third position, the lower edge of the second protective structure A620 is flush with the upper edge of the left side wall A120 of the base A200 close to the body A100 (that is, the upper edge of the left side of the base A200) or goes down over the upper edge of the left side of the base A200, which can better buffer the external impact force that the buffering area of the left side wall A120 may bear. Figure 12 and Figure 13 When the first shielding member A600a is in the second position and the second shielding member A600b is in the fourth position, the first fixing member A711 and the first fixing member A731 are attracted to each other, thereby connecting the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b together. In this way, the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b can be fixed to the top wall A170 of the main body A100 to prevent the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b from being accidentally opened. Figure 13 When the first shielding member A600a is in the second position and the second shielding member A600b is in the fourth position, the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b overlap with each other. Specifically, the two shielding members 600 completely overlap with each other, and the overlapping area I of the two completely covers the top wall breathable mesh A903 (that is, the top wall viewing area A171). Figure 10 and Figure 13 In this embodiment, when the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b overlap each other, at least a portion of the second shielding member A600b is located above the first shielding member A600a, and the first fixing member A731 and the first fixing member A711 are both located in the overlapping area I. In another embodiment, referring to Figure 12 When the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b overlap with each other, the first shielding member A600a may be at least partially located above the second shielding member A600b.
[0200] Optionally, the second matching piece A722 may be provided with reference to the animal carrying device A1000 in the first embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second mating member A722 is, for example, a magnet. The second mating member A722 is embedded in the top wall A170 of the body A100. Thus, when the first shielding member A600a is in the second position and the second shielding member A600b is in the fourth position, the first fixing member A711 and the first fixing member A731 engage with each other, and the first fixing member A711 and the second mating member A722 engage with each other, thereby connecting the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b together and securing them to the top wall A170. This allows the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b to be more securely positioned on the top wall A170.
[0201] Example 4
[0202] Figure 14 A perspective view of an animal carrying device A1000 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the first shielding member A600a is in a first position and the second shielding member A600b is in a third position. The animal carrying device A1000 in this embodiment differs from the third embodiment in at least the following ways.
[0203] like Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 is provided with a fixing mechanism A700, which includes a first fixing member A711, a first matching member A721 (see Figure 10 ), the second fitting part A722, the first fixing part A731, the first adapter part A741 and the second adapter part A742. The arrangement of the first fixing part A711, the first fitting part A721 and the second fitting part A722 can refer to the first embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first fixing member A711 is provided on the first shielding member A600a. The first matching member A721 is provided on the base A200 or on the side wall of the main body A100 (i.e., the right side wall A130), and the first matching member A721 is suitable for being detachably connected to the first fixing member A711 so that the first shielding member A600a is fitted with the outer side surface of the side wall. The second matching member A722 is provided on the top wall A170, and the second matching member A722 is suitable for being detachably connected to the first fixing member A711 so that the first shielding member A600a is fitted with the outer side surface of the top wall A170. This can prevent the first shielding member A600a from being accidentally lifted up. Specifically, the first fixing member A711 is provided at the first movable end A603 of the first shielding member A600a. The first matching member A721 is provided on the base A200. The second matching piece A722 is disposed between the top wall viewing area A171 and the second opening A1201 (ie, the breathable mesh A902) of the body A100. In this embodiment, the first fixing piece A711, the first matching piece A721, and the second matching piece A722 are magnets.
[0204] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15 , the first fixing member A731 is set on the second shielding member A600b. The setting of the first adapter member A741 can refer to the third embodiment above. Figure 12As shown, the first adapter A741 is provided on the base A200 or on the side wall of the body A100 (i.e., the left side wall A120). Specifically, the first adapter A741 is provided on the base A200. The first adapter A741 is suitable for being detachably connected to the first fixing part A731 so that the second shielding part A600b is in contact with the outer side surface of the side wall of the body A100. The second adapter A742 is provided on the first shielding part A600a. The second adapter A742 is suitable for being detachably connected to the first fixing part A731, thereby connecting the second shielding part A600b to the first shielding part A600a so that the first shielding part A600a and the second shielding part A600b jointly block the top wall viewing area A171. In this embodiment, the first fixing part A731, the first adapter A741, and the second adapter A742 are magnets that can attract each other. The first fixing member A731 is embedded in the second shielding member A600b, the first adapter member A741 is embedded in the base A200, and the second adapter member A742 is embedded in the first shielding member A600a. When the first shielding member A600a is in the second position and the second shielding member A600b is in the fourth position, the first fixing member A711 and the second matching member A722 engage, and the first fixing member A731 and the second adapter member A742 engage, thereby connecting the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b and securing them to the top wall A170. At this point, the second shielding member A600b and the first shielding member A600a at least partially overlap.
[0205] In an alternative embodiment, the fixing mechanism A700 includes, in addition to the first fixing part A711, the first matching part A721 and the second matching part A722 in the first embodiment, a first fixing part A731, a second fixing part (not shown), a first adapter part A741 and a second adapter part A742. The first fixing part A731 and the second fixing part are respectively arranged on the second shielding part A600b, the first adapter part A741 is arranged on the side wall of the base A200 or the body A100, and the second adapter part A742 is arranged on the first shielding part A600a. The first adapter part A741 is suitable for detachable connection with the first fixing part A731, and the second adapter part A742 is suitable for detachable connection with the second fixing part. The first fixing part A731 and the first adapter part A741 are a pair of magnets, a pair of snaps or a pair of adhesive buckles, or are zippers that can be pulled together, or are hooks and hanging rings that can cooperate with each other. The second fixing member and the second adapter member A742 can be, for example, a pair of magnets, a pair of snaps, or a pair of adhesive buckles, or a zipper that can be pulled together, or a hook and loop that can cooperate with each other. The first fixing member A731 and the first adapter member A741, and the second fixing member and the second adapter member A742 can be the same or different, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0206] Example 5
[0207] Figure 16 1 is a schematic structural diagram illustrating a fifth embodiment of an animal carrying device A1000 according to the present invention, wherein the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b are connected to the top wall A170.
[0208] like Figure 16 As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 includes a base A200, a body A100 disposed on the base A200, and a first shielding member A600a and a second shielding member A600b, each reversibly disposed on the body A100. The animal carrying device A1000 of this embodiment differs from the animal carrying device A1000 of the third embodiment described above in at least the following ways.
[0209] like Figure 17 As shown, when the first shielding member A600a is in the second position and the second shielding member A600b is in the fourth position, the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b do not overlap, and the first movable end A603 of the first shielding member A600a and the second movable end A604 of the second shielding member A600b contact each other. In other words, when the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b are in the sunshade positions (i.e., the second position and the fourth position), they are located in the same plane, the first shielding member A600a covers a portion of the top wall viewing area A171, and the second shielding member A600b covers another portion of the top wall viewing area A171.
[0210] The fixing mechanism A700 includes a first fixing part A731, a first adapter part A741, a first matching part A721, and a first fixing part A711. The first fixing part A711 is provided on the first shielding part A600a, and the first fixing part A731 is provided on the second shielding part A600b. Specifically, the first fixing part A731 is provided on the second movable end A604 of the second shielding part A600b, and the first fixing part A711 is provided on the first movable end A603 of the first shielding part A600a. When the first shielding part A600a is in the second position and the second shielding part A600b is in the fourth position, the first fixing part A711 and the first fixing part A731 cooperate with each other to connect the first shielding part A600a and the second shielding part A600b together. The first matching part A721 is provided on the right side wall A130 or the base A200 of the main body A100. When the first shielding member A600a is in the first position, the first fixing member A711 and the first matching member A721 cooperate with each other, so that the right side wall A130 of the first shielding member A600a is in contact with each other. The arrangement of the first adapter member A741 can refer to the third embodiment above. Figure 12As shown, the first adapter A741 is disposed on the left side wall A120 or the base A200 of the body A100. When the second shielding member A600b is located at the third position, the first fixing member A731 and the first adapter A741 are attracted to each other, thereby making the second shielding member A600b fit the left side wall A120.
[0211] In this embodiment, the first fixing part A731 is, for example, a magnet or a hook; accordingly, the first adapter part A741 is, for example, a magnet or a hanging ring; accordingly, the first fixing part A711 is, for example, a magnet or a hanging ring; accordingly, the first matching part A721 is, for example, a magnet or a hook. In other words, the first fixing part A731 and the first matching part A721 are the same, both of which are either a magnet or a hook; the first adapter part A741 and the first fixing part A711 are the same, both of which are either a magnet or a hanging ring. Of course, the first fixing part A731 can also be a magnet or a hanging ring, and the first adapter part A741, the first matching part A721, and the first fixing part A711 will be changed accordingly.
[0212] Example 6
[0213] Figures 18 to 20 The structure diagram of the animal carrying device A1000 according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 18 The first shielding member A600a is installed in the first position in the forward direction. Figure 19 The first shielding member A600a is installed in the second position with its back facing away. Figure 20 The first shielding member A600a is forwardly mounted in the second position.
[0214] like Figures 18 to 20 As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 includes a body A100, a base A200, and a first shielding member A600a. The structures of the body A100 and base A200 refer to those of the first embodiment and are not further described here. The animal carrying device A1000 of this embodiment differs from the animal carrying device AA1000 of the first embodiment in at least the following ways.
[0215] Reference Figures 18 to 20, the first shielding member A600a is detachably connected to the main body A100 through a fixing mechanism A700 to allow the first shielding member A600a to be selectively set in a first position (also called a protective position) or a second position (also called a sunshade position). The fixing mechanism A700 includes a first fixing member A711, a second fixing member A712, a first matching member A721, and a second matching member A722. The first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 are respectively arranged on the second side surface A632 of the first shielding member A600a. The first matching member A721 is suitable for being detachably connected to the first fixing member A711. The second matching member A722 is suitable for being detachably connected to the second fixing member A712. The first matching member A721 is arranged on the main body A100 and is located on a side of the top wall viewing area A171 close to one of the multiple side walls. Specifically, the first matching member A721 is located on a side of the top wall viewing area A171 close to the right side wall A130. The second fitting part A722 is arranged on one of the multiple side walls of the main body or the base A200. Specifically, the second fitting part A722 is arranged on the right side wall A130 of the main body A100 or the right side of the base A200. Optionally, the first fitting part A721 is located on the upper side of the first opening A1301 on the right side wall A130, and the second fitting part A722 is located on the lower side, left side or right side of the first opening A1301. In this embodiment, the first fitting part A721 and the second fitting part A722 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the first opening A1301 (which is equivalent to the breathable mesh A901), and the first fitting part A721 is arranged at a position between the top wall viewing area A171 and the first opening A1301 on the right side wall A130 of the main body A100. Combined with Figure 18 and Figure 19 When the first fixing member A711 is connected to the first mating member A721 and the second fixing member A712 is connected to the second mating member A722, the first shielding member A600a is restrained in the first position. When the first fixing member A711 is connected to the first mating member A721 and the second fixing member A712 is not connected, the first shielding member A600a can flip between the first position and the second position.
[0216] In some embodiments not shown, the fixing mechanism A700 may not include the second fixing member A712 and the second matching member A722. By detachably connecting the first fixing member A711 and the first matching member A721, one end of the first shielding member A600a is connected between the top wall viewing area A171 and the first opening A1301, while the other end is movable relative to the body A100, thereby enabling the first shielding member A600a to flip between the first position and the second position, thereby achieving switching of the first shielding member A600a between the first position and the second position.
[0217] like Figures 18 to 20As shown, the fixing mechanism A700 also includes a third fitting member A723. The third fitting member A723 is suitable for being detachably connected to the second fixing member A712. The third fitting member A723 is arranged on the other side of the top wall viewing area A171, that is, on the side of the top wall viewing area A171 close to another one of the multiple side walls of the main body A100. Optionally, the other one of the multiple side walls of the main body A100 may be opposite to one of the multiple side walls of the main body A100, or may be adjacent to one of the multiple side walls of the main body A100. In this embodiment, the first fitting member A721 is arranged at a position between the first opening A1301 on the top wall viewing area A171 and the right side wall A130 of the main body A100, and the third fitting member A723 is arranged at a position between the second opening A1201 on the top wall viewing area A171 and the left side wall A120 of the main body A100. In other words, the first fitting member A721 and the third fitting member A723 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the top wall viewing area A171. When the first fixing member A711 is connected to the first fitting member A721 and the second fixing member A712 is connected to the third fitting member A723, the first shielding member A600a is restricted to the second position.
[0218] like Figures 18 to 20 As shown, the first shielding member A600a has a first side surface A631 and a second side surface A632, and can be installed on the body A100 in a forward or reverse direction. Figure 20 As shown, the forward installation means that the second side surface A632 of the first shielding member A600a is installed facing the body A100; Figure 19 As shown, reverse installation means that the first side surface A631 of the first shielding member A600a is installed facing the main body A100, that is, the second side surface A632 of the first shielding member A600a is installed facing away from the main body A100. The first mating member A711 and the second mating member A712 are respectively disposed on the second side surface A632 of the first shielding member A600a. When the first shielding member A600a is installed in the second position, the first shielding member A600a can be installed in either a forward direction or a reverse direction on the top wall A170 of the main body A100, as long as the first shielding member A600a can completely cover the top wall viewing area A171. In other words, when the first shielding member A600a is in the second position, the first shielding member A600a can be installed in a reverse direction, with the first side surface A631 of the first shielding member A600a facing the top wall viewing area A171, or in a forward direction, with the first side surface A631 facing away from the top wall viewing area A171. In which, when the first covering member A600a is installed in the second position in a forward installation manner, at least a portion of the fixing mechanism A700 is blocked by the first covering member A600a. Specifically, the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 are located between the first covering member A600a and the main body A100, and are covered by the first covering member A600a.
[0219] Combine Figure 22 As shown, the first shielding member A600a includes a first shielding cloth cover A630 and a first protective structure A610 arranged in the first shielding cloth cover A630. One side of the first shielding cloth cover A630 is formed as a first side surface A631, and the other side is formed as a second side surface A632. A first fixing member A711 and a second fixing member A712 are arranged on the first shielding cloth cover A630. The first protective structure A610 in this embodiment can refer to the first protective structure A610 in the above-mentioned first embodiment, and will not be repeated here. When the first shielding member A600a is installed in the first position, the first protective structure A610 at least covers the first opening A1301 of the right side wall A130, and the first shielding member A600a needs to be installed in the forward direction on the main body A100, so that the first protective structure A610 on the first shielding member A600a can better play a protective role.
[0220] In one embodiment, the first fixing member A711 is a predetermined distance from the outer edge of the first shielding member A600a, and the predetermined distance satisfies that when the first side surface A631 of the first shielding member A600a is disposed facing one of the multiple side walls of the body A100 (e.g., the right side wall A130) (i.e., the first shielding member A600a is reversely installed in the first position), at least one of the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 is difficult to connect to the corresponding first mating member A721 or the corresponding second mating member A722. It should be noted that "at least one of the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 is difficult to connect to the corresponding first mating member A721 or the corresponding second mating member A722" means, for example, that it is difficult for the first shielding member A600a to connect the first fixing member A711 to the first mating member A721 and the second fixing member A712 to the second mating member A722 without bending or deforming. In other words, when the first shielding member A600a is reversely installed in the first position, the first shielding member A600a will bend and deform, for example, the portion of the first shielding member A600a located between the outer edges is arched. In this way, the user can judge whether the first shielding member A600a is mistakenly reversely installed in the first position by the shape of the first shielding member A600a after installation, thereby avoiding the first shielding member A600a from being mistakenly reversely installed. Optionally, one of the first fixing member A711 and the first matching member A721 is a hook, and the other of the first fixing member A711 and the first matching member A721 is a hanging ring; or, the first fixing member A711 and the first matching member A721 are snaps, adhesive buckles, zippers or magnets that can cooperate with each other. In this embodiment, the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 are, for example, hooks, and the first matching member A721 and the second matching member A722 are, for example, hanging rings that can be hung with the hooks. See Figure 18 and Figure 19 , the cross-section of the first shielding member A600a is roughly rectangular. The two short side edges of the first shielding member A600a are the first edges A605, and the two long side edges of the first shielding member A600a are the second edges A606. The first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 are respectively at a predetermined distance from their adjacent first edges A605. Specifically, the ends of the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member are flush with their adjacent first edges A605 or are located between the two first edges A605. In some other embodiments, the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 may be respectively at a first distance from their adjacent second edges A606, so that at least one of the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 is difficult to connect to the corresponding first mating member A721 or the corresponding second mating member A722, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0221] like Figures 20 to 21 As shown, the first shielding member A600a also has a third position suitable for at least partially shielding another one of the multiple side walls of the body A100 (for example, the left side wall A120 of the body A100). The first shielding member A600a can be selectively set in the first position, the second position or the third position. When the second fixing member A712 is connected to the third matching member A723 and the first fixing member A711 is not connected to the corresponding matching member (that is, the first fixing member A711 is not connected), the first shielding member A600a can flip between the third position and the second position. Alternatively, the first fixing member A711 is suitable for detachable connection with the third matching member A723, and when the first fixing member A711 is connected to the third matching member A723 and the second fixing member A712 is not connected to the corresponding matching member (that is, the second fixing member A712 is not connected), the first shielding member A600a can flip between the third position and the second position. In this embodiment, the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 are identical and symmetrically distributed on the first shielding member A600a, and the first shielding member A600a has an axisymmetric structure. Thus, when either the first fixing member A711 or the second fixing member is connected to the third mating member A723, the first shielding member A600a can be flipped between the second position and the third position.
[0222] The fixing mechanism A700 also includes a fourth fitting member A724. The fourth fitting member A724 is disposed on another of the multiple sidewalls of the body A100 or the base A200. At least one of the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 is adapted to be detachably connected to the fourth fitting member A724. The fourth fitting member A724 corresponds to the position of the third fitting member A723. When the third fitting member A723 is connected to one of the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712, and the fourth fitting member A724 is connected to the other of the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712, the first shielding member A600a is restricted to the third position. Optionally, the third fitting part A723 is located on the side of the top wall viewing area A171 close to the left side wall A120, and the fourth fitting part A724 is arranged on the left side of the left side wall A120 or the base A200; or, the third fitting part A723 is located on the side of the top wall viewing area A171 close to the front side wall A140, and the fourth fitting part A724 is arranged on the front side of the front side wall A140 or the base A200; or, the third fitting part A723 is located on the side of the top wall viewing area A171 close to the rear side wall A160, and the fourth fitting part A724 is arranged on the rear side of the rear side wall A160 or the base A200.
[0223] Optionally, the animal carrier A1000 of this embodiment may be provided with two or more first shielding members A600a. Multiple first shielding members A600a can be selectively installed on the top wall A170 and at least one of the multiple side walls of the body A100. This allows the first shielding members A600a to provide both sun protection and collision protection.
[0224] The animal carrying device A1000 of this embodiment utilizes a fixing mechanism A700 to detachably attach a first shielding member A600a to the body A100, thereby enabling the first shielding member A600a to switch between a first position and a second position. This not only meets the sunshade and collision protection requirements of the animal carrying device A1000, but also allows the first shielding member A600a to be removed when not needed, improving the use of the animal carrying device A1000 in various scenarios.
[0225] Example 7
[0226] Figure 23 The structure of the first shielding member A600a in the seventh embodiment of the present invention when installed in the first position is schematically shown. The shielding member in this embodiment differs from the first shielding member A600a in the sixth embodiment in at least the following ways.
[0227] The first protective structure A610 of the first shielding member A600a includes a first protective layer A611, a second protective layer A612, and a third protective layer A613. The third protective layer A613, the second protective layer A612, and the first protective layer A611 are stacked, and the second protective layer A612 is further away from the first side surface A631 than the first protective layer A611. In other words, when the first shielding member A600a is installed in the first position in the forward direction, the second side surface A632 faces the first opening A1301 (i.e., facing the breathable mesh A901), and the first protective layer A611 is further away from the first opening A1301 than the second protective layer A612. The first protective layer A611 has greater elasticity than the second protective layer A612, and also has greater elasticity than the third protective layer A613. The first protective layer A611 is disposed between the third protective layer A613 and the second protective layer A612.
[0228] The first protective layer A611 is made of foam, such as inert foam. The second protective layer A612 is a plate-like structure, made of at least one material selected from PE (polyethylene), EPP (expanded polypropylene), EPS (expanded polystyrene), and EPO (expanded polyolefin). The third protective layer A613 is a plate-like structure, made of at least one material selected from PE (polyethylene), EPP (expanded polypropylene), EPS (expanded polystyrene), and EPO (expanded polyolefin). In this way, when the buffering area of the right side wall A130 is impacted, the first protective layer A611 can effectively absorb the external impact force, and the second protective layer A612 or the third protective layer A613 can reduce the deformation of the first shielding member A600a, thereby further reducing the deformation of the right side wall A130 under the external impact force. In this embodiment, the second protective layer A612 and the third protective layer A613 can be the same or different.
[0229] In yet another embodiment, when the first shielding member A600a is in the first position, any one of the first side surface A631 and the second side surface A632 of the first shielding member A600a may face one of the multiple side walls. Similarly, when A600a is in the third position, any one of the first side surface A631 and the second side surface A632 of the first shielding member A600a may face another of the multiple side walls. In other words, the first shielding member A600a in this embodiment can be installed in the forward direction or in the reverse direction on the corresponding side wall of the body A100. This eliminates the worry that the user may mistakenly install the first shielding member A600a on any side wall of the body A100, thereby improving the applicability and ease of use of the first shielding member A600a.
[0230] Example 8
[0231] Figure 24 and Figure 25 FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an animal carrying device A1000 according to an eighth embodiment of the present application.
[0232] like Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 includes a body A100, a base A200, and a first shielding member A600a. The structures of the body A100 and base A200 can be referenced to those of the first embodiment and will not be further described here. The animal carrying device A1000 of this embodiment differs from the animal carrying device AA1000 of the sixth embodiment described above in at least the following ways: In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the base A200 can also be considered the bottom wall of the body A100.
[0233] The fixing mechanism A700 includes a first fixing part A711, a second fixing part A712, a first matching part A721, and a second matching part A722. The first fixing part A711 is arranged on the first shielding part A600a. The second fixing part A712 is arranged on the first shielding part A600a and is arranged opposite to the first fixing part A711. That is, the first fixing part A711 and the second fixing part A712 are respectively arranged near the first edge A605 or the second edge A606 of the first shielding part A600a. For example, the first fixing part A711 and the second fixing part A712 are respectively arranged near the second edge A606 of the first shielding part A600a. The first matching part A721 and the second matching part A722 are arranged on the main body A100 or the base A200, and the second matching part A722 is arranged opposite to the first matching part A721. Specifically, the first mating member A721 is disposed on a side of the first opening A1301 near the rear sidewall A160, and the second mating member A722 is disposed on a side of the first opening A1301 near the front sidewall A140. The first mating member A721 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing member A711, and the second mating member A722 is adapted to be detachably connected to the second fixing member A712, thereby restraining the first shielding member A600a in the first position.
[0234] Continue to refer to Figure 24 , the fixing mechanism A700 also includes a third fitting part A723 and a fourth fitting part A724. The third fitting part A723 and the fourth fitting part A724 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the top wall viewing area A171. Optionally, the third fitting part A723 is arranged on a side of the top wall viewing area A171 close to the rear side wall A160, and the fourth fitting part A724 is arranged on a side of the top wall viewing area A171 close to the front side wall A140. The third fitting part A723 is suitable for being detachably connected to the first fixing part A711, and the fourth fitting part A724 is suitable for being detachably connected to the second fixing part A712, so as to allow the first shielding member A600a to be restricted to the second position. In this embodiment, the first shielding member A600a also has a third position suitable for at least partially shielding another one of the multiple side walls of the main body A100 (for example, the left side wall A120). As Figure 25 As shown, the fixing mechanism A700 also includes a fifth fitting member A725 and a sixth fitting member A726 disposed opposite each other. Specifically, the fifth fitting member A725 is disposed on the side of the second opening A1201 in the left side wall A120 near the rear side wall A160, and the sixth fitting member A726 is disposed on the side of the second opening A1201 near the front side wall A140. The fifth fitting member A725 is adapted to be removably connected to the first fixing member A711, and the sixth fitting member A726 is adapted to be removably connected to the second fixing member A712, thereby restraining the first shielding member A600a in the third position.
[0235] Example 9
[0236] Figures 26 to 30 The present invention shows an animal carrying device B1000 according to a ninth embodiment of the present invention. The animal carrying device B1000 may be, but is not limited to, a sleeping box, a pet box, a pet carrier, a pet bag, etc. The animal carrying device B1000 has a carrying space B110 for accommodating an animal (see FIG. Figure 31 The animal carrier B1000 can be fixed to a vehicle seat (not shown) or carried on the person (e.g., carried in one's hand or slung across one's back). Specifically, the animal carrier B1000 includes a base B200 and a body B100. The base B200 and body B100 will be described together with the description of the animal carrier B1000 below.
[0237] See also Figure 26 and Figure 31 In one embodiment, the body B100 is mounted on the base B200 and has a carrying space B110. Specifically, the body B100 has a front side wall B120, a right side wall B130, a rear side wall B140, and a left side wall B150 that are sequentially connected along the circumferential direction. The front side wall B120 and the rear side wall B140 are arranged opposite to each other along a first direction F1 (i.e., the front-to-back direction), and the left side wall B150 and the right side wall B130 are arranged opposite to each other along a second direction F2 (i.e., the left-to-right direction); the front side wall B120 forms the front wall of the carrying space B110, the right side wall B130 forms the right wall of the carrying space B110, the rear side wall B140 forms the rear wall of the carrying space B110, and the left side wall B150 forms the left wall of the carrying space B110. In addition, the main body B100 also has a top wall B160 and a bottom wall B170, and the top wall B160 and the bottom wall B170 are simultaneously connected to the front side wall B120, the right side wall B130, the rear side wall B140 and the left side wall B150. The top wall B160 and the bottom wall B170 are roughly arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction. The top wall B160 forms the top wall of the carrying space B110, and the bottom wall B170 forms the bottom wall of the carrying space B110.
[0238] See also Figure 31 and Figure 32 In one embodiment, the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 is provided with a first positioning portion B171. Figure 33 and Figure 34As shown, the base B200 includes an upper cover B210 and a lower cover B220, wherein one of the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 is provided with a limiting portion B211, and the other is provided with a second positioning portion B221. For example, the upper cover B210 is provided with a limiting portion B211, and the lower cover B220 is provided with a second positioning portion B221; or, the upper cover B210 is provided with a second positioning portion B221, and the lower cover B220 is provided with a limiting portion B211. The upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 are respectively located on either side of the bottom wall B170 of the body B100. Specifically, the upper cover B210 is located on the side of the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 facing the carrying space B110, and the lower cover B220 is located on the side of the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 facing away from the carrying space B110. In other words, the upper cover B210 is located inside the carrying space B110, and the lower cover B220 is located outside the carrying space B110.
[0239] Specifically, in this embodiment, the upper cover B210 is provided with a limiting portion B211, and the lower cover B220 is provided with a second positioning portion B221. The limiting portion B211 corresponds to the first positioning portion B171 and the second positioning portion B221 respectively. The limiting portion B211 is used to cooperate with the first positioning portion B171 and the second positioning portion B221. In this way, the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100 can be clamped between the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220, thereby achieving the positioning of the main body B100 and the base B200. It should be noted that when the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 are buckled together, the upper cover B210 is regarded as the bottom wall of the bearing space B110 to support the pet.
[0240] Furthermore, it should be noted that at least two of each of the first positioning portion B171, the second positioning portion B221, and the position limiting portion B211 are provided, and each first positioning portion B171 should correspond to each second positioning portion B221 and each position limiting portion B211, respectively. In this embodiment, the number of the first positioning portion B171, the second positioning portion B221, and the position limiting portion B211 is the same, so that each first positioning portion B171 corresponds to one second positioning portion B221 and one position limiting portion B211. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the first positioning portion B171, the second positioning portion B221, and the position limiting portion B211 may not be exactly the same.
[0241] In one embodiment, the first positioning portion B171 is a first positioning hole B1711 (see Figure 31 and Figure 32 ), the second positioning portion B221 is a second positioning hole B2211 (see Figure 34 ), the limiting portion B211 is a positioning column B2111 (see Figure 33When the body B100 needs to be installed on the base B200, each positioning column B2111 is used to pass through the corresponding first positioning hole B1711 and the second positioning hole B2211 to achieve precise docking of the body B100 and the base B200 (see Figure 32 ). Specifically, during installation, the upper cover B210 can be placed in the carrying space B110 first, and it is ensured that each positioning column B2111 accurately passes through the corresponding first positioning hole B1711 on the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100. In this way, the positioning column B2111 protrudes below the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100, so that the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100 and the upper cover B210 remain relatively fixed; in other words, the limiting effect of the upper cover B210 on the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100 prevents relative movement between the two. Subsequently, each positioning column B2111 is inserted into the second positioning hole B2211 of the lower cover B220, thereby completing the precise docking of the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220. Of course, in other embodiments, after the upper cover B210 and the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 are assembled, that is, after the positioning column B2111 passes through the first positioning hole B1711 of the bottom wall B170 of the body B100, the body B110 and the upper cover B210 can be turned upside down; then the lower cover B220 is turned over, and the second positioning holes B2211 on the lower cover B220 are aligned with the positioning columns B2111 protruding from the surface of the bottom wall B170 of the body B100, and finally the lower cover B200 is buckled onto the upper cover B210. In this way, the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 can be clamped between the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220, and the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 are precisely docked.
[0242] The animal carrier B1000 provided in this embodiment utilizes a design where the body B100 and base B200 are positioned in a coordinated manner, providing a fast and stable assembly method. Specifically, the body B100 and base B200 achieve fast and precise alignment and fixation through the interaction of the stopper B211 with the first positioning portion B171 and the second positioning portion B221, thereby enabling quick and accurate installation of the body B100 and base B200. This design not only simplifies the assembly process but also improves assembly precision and efficiency.
[0243] In one embodiment, after the positioning post B2111 passes through the first positioning hole B1711 and the second positioning hole B2211 in sequence, the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 is sandwiched between the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220. The upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 can be connected by fasteners (not shown), wherein the fasteners can be, for example, screws, bolts, etc. Of course, in other embodiments, the fasteners can be omitted, and the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 can each be provided with a first clamping portion (not shown) and a second clamping portion (not shown) that can be mutually engaged. In this way, the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 can also be fixedly connected. In particular, one of the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion can be located on the positioning post B2111, and the other can be located in the second positioning hole B2211. Alternatively, the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion can be respectively provided at other locations on the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220.
[0244] See also Figures 32 to 34 In one embodiment, the location of the positioning post B2111 on the upper cover B210, the location of the first positioning hole B1711 on the bottom wall B170 of the body B100, and the location of the second positioning hole B2211 on the lower cover B220 correspond to each other. The following takes the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 as an example to briefly explain the location of the first positioning hole B1711 thereon. Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 32 As shown, the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 is generally rectangular in structure and is provided with a plurality of first positioning holes B1711 spaced apart along its circumferential direction. Furthermore, at least one first positioning hole B1711 may be provided in the middle region of the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 as required. More specifically, a line extending along the first direction F1 and passing through the geometric center of the body B100 (which can also be considered the center of the bottom wall B170 of the body B100) is defined as a reference line S1. All first positioning holes B1711 located on the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 are arranged generally symmetrically along the reference line S1. In other words, the number and position of the first positioning holes B1711 on either side of the reference line S1 are mirror-image symmetrical. This helps to improve the stability of the fastening between the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220. Of course, in other embodiments, the number and position of the first positioning holes B1711 on either side of the reference line S1 may vary. For example, the number of the first positioning holes B1711 on one side of the reference straight line S1 is greater or less than the number of the first positioning holes B1711 on the other side.
[0245] In this embodiment, for each positioning column B2111 on the upper cover B210, as shown in FIG. Figure 33As shown, reinforcing ribs B212 are connected between each positioning column B2111, so that the structural strength of each positioning column B2111 can be enhanced, thereby improving the structural strength of the base B200.
[0246] In one embodiment, the front side wall B120, the right side wall B130, the rear side wall B140, the left side wall B150, the bottom wall B170 and the top wall B160 can be connected by sewing or the like. Of course, in other embodiments, the front side wall B120, the right side wall B130, the rear side wall B140, the left side wall B150, the bottom wall B170 and the top wall B160 can be integrally formed. Alternatively, in other embodiments, some parts of the front side wall B120, the right side wall B130, the rear side wall B140, the left side wall B150, the bottom wall B170 and the top wall B160 can be connected by sewing, and the remaining parts can be integrally formed. For example, in this embodiment, combined with Figure 26 and Figure 31 The left side wall B150 and the top wall B160 are integrally formed, and the rest of the body B100 is connected by sewing or the like.
[0247] In one embodiment, the upper cover B210 and lower cover B220 of the base B200 are made of a hard material (such as plastic), thus providing support for the main body B100. The main body B100 (i.e., the front sidewall B120, right sidewall B130, left sidewall B150, rear sidewall B140, top wall B160, and bottom wall B170) is made of soft fabric. This enhances the comfort of a pet resting against the sidewalls of the carrying space B110.
[0248] In order to improve the supporting strength of the body B100 and avoid deformation of the bearing space B110, in one embodiment, Figures 26 to 31 , support members B300 are provided on the outer edges of the front side wall B120 and / or the rear side wall B140 of the body B100, away from the base B200. Specifically, support members B300 are provided on the outer edges of the front side wall B120 and the rear side wall B140 of the body B100, away from the base B200. The support members B300 may be, for example, support wires. This supports the front side wall B120 and the rear side wall B140, preventing deformation of the carrying space B110 and improving the aesthetics of the body B100. Furthermore, to prevent the exposed support members B300 from affecting the aesthetics of the animal carrying device B1000, in this embodiment, two support wires are located inside the front side wall B120 and the rear side wall B140, respectively. It should be noted that to clarify the location of the support wires, dashed lines are used in the various figures to indicate their specific locations inside the front side wall B120 or the rear side wall B140 of the body B100.
[0249] See also Figures 31 to 33 In one embodiment, the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100 is provided with a reinforcement B400. The reinforcement B400 is made of a hard material and has a plate-like structure. For example, the reinforcement B400 is a PE board, an EPP board, or an EPS board. The reinforcement B400 is pre-fixed to the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100 by sewing. Specifically, one of the reinforcement B400 and the upper cover B210 is provided with a first connecting portion B214, and the other is provided with a second connecting portion B410. The number of the first connecting portions B214 is the same as the number of the second connecting portions B410, and the positions of the first connecting portions B214 and the second connecting portions B410 correspond to each other. More specifically, the upper cover B210 is provided with a first connecting portion B214, which may be a connecting column B2141; the reinforcement B400 is provided with a second connecting portion B410, which may be a connecting hole B411. After the connecting post B2141 passes through the connecting hole B411, a fixing member (not shown) can be passed through the through hole B172 on the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 to connect the upper cover B210 and the reinforcement member B400. This can increase the connection strength between the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 and the base B200.
[0250] In one embodiment, at least two reinforcement members B400 are provided. Specifically, two reinforcement members B400 are provided, and the two reinforcement members B400 are arranged on the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 at intervals relative to each other along the second direction F2.
[0251] See also Figures 32 to 34In one embodiment, at least one of the front side wall B120 and the rear side wall B140 extends toward the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100 to form an extended edge B121. Specifically, in this embodiment, the front side wall B120 extends toward the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100 to form an extended edge B121. One of the extended edge B121 and the upper cover B210 is provided with a limiting post B213, and the other is provided with a first limiting hole B122. For example, the extended edge B121 is provided with a first limiting hole B122, and the upper cover B210 is provided with a limiting post B213. The first limiting hole B122 is configured to be sleeved outside the limiting post B213. In this way, when the main body B100 is installed on the base B200, the front side wall B120 can be tightened, making the appearance of the main body B100 more upright. Alternatively, the extended edge B121 is provided with a limiting post B213, and the upper cover B210 is provided with a first limiting hole B122. The limiting post B213 is used to be inserted into the first limiting hole B122 to tighten the front side wall B120, making the appearance of the main body B100 more upright. To prevent the limiting post B213 from detaching from the first limiting hole B122 after the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 are fastened together, causing the front side wall B120 to become loose, a second limiting hole B222 is correspondingly provided on the lower cover B220. When the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 are fastened together, the limiting post B213 can be inserted into the second limiting hole B222 to prevent the extended edge B121 from detaching from the limiting post B213.
[0252] In order to improve the air permeability in the carrying space B110, in one embodiment, at least a portion of the front side wall B120 and / or the rear side wall B140 of the body B100 is formed with a first hollow area, and the first hollow area is covered with a first breathable mesh B510. Figure 26 and Figure 27 As shown, at least a portion of the front side wall B120 of the main body B100 is formed with a first hollow area. Alternatively, at least a portion of the rear side wall B140 of the main body B100 is formed with a first hollow area. Alternatively, at least a portion of the front side wall B120 of the main body B100 and at least a portion of the rear side wall B140 of the main body B100 are both provided with a first hollow area. This ensures that the carrying space B110 remains closed while improving the air permeability of the carrying space B110, thereby improving the pet's environment and enhancing the pet's comfort.
[0253] In one embodiment, at least one of the front side wall B120 and the rear side wall B140 of the main body B100 is further provided with a pocket B610, and the user can put the items he carries with him (such as garbage bags, water cups, paper towels, etc.) into the pocket B610. The bag opening of the pocket B610 can be in an open state; of course, the bag opening can also be closed by a zipper, a pair of magnets, a pair of snaps or a pair of adhesive buckles. Specifically, the size and number of the pockets B610 are not specifically limited in this embodiment. For example, the rear side wall B140 of the main body B100 is provided with two pockets B610, and the two pockets B610 can be roughly arranged in parallel or staggered in the horizontal direction; of course, the two pockets B610 can also be roughly arranged in parallel or staggered in the vertical direction. More specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 28 As shown, a pocket B610 is provided on the rear side wall B140 of the main body B100, and the outer surface of the pocket B610 is a mesh structure, which can increase the perspective and breathability of the pocket B610.
[0254] Continue to see Figure 28 The rear side wall B140 of the main body B100 is provided with a connecting cloth B620, and a penetration channel is formed between the connecting cloth B620 and the rear side wall B140. The penetration channel is used to allow the pull rod of a suitcase to pass through, for example. In this way, the portability of the animal carrying device B1000 can be improved. Specifically, the penetration channel passes through in a direction perpendicular to the base B200, that is, the penetration channel passes through in the up and down direction. Specifically, the left and right ends of the connecting cloth B620 are respectively fixedly connected to the side walls of the rear side wall B140 of the main body B100 by sewing. In this embodiment, the connecting cloth B620 is a multi-layer woven structure, and pockets B610 can also be formed between the multi-layer woven structures.
[0255] See also Figure 26 as well as Figures 29 to 31 In one embodiment, the animal carrying device B1000 further includes a side cover B710. Specifically, at least one of the left side wall B150 and the right side wall B130 of the body B100 is provided with a side opening B151, and the side cover B710 is movably arranged at the side opening B151 so that the side cover B710 has a first open position (see FIG. Figure 31 ) and the first closed position (see Figure 26). When the side cover B710 is in the first open position, the side opening B151 is exposed; when the side cover B710 is in the first closed position, the side cover B710 covers the side opening B151. Therefore, when the user needs to place a pet into the carrying space B110 or take the pet out of the main body B100, the side cover B710 can be placed in the first open position; and when the user needs to confine the pet within the carrying space B110, the side cover B710 can be placed in the first closed position. Specifically, in this embodiment, the left side wall B150 and the right side wall B130 of the main body B100 are both provided with side openings B151, and each side opening B151 is provided with a side cover B710 that is movable. In this way, the user can place the pet into the main body B100 or take the pet out of the main body B100 through the side opening B151 on either side.
[0256] See also Figure 26 、 Figure 29 and Figure 31 In one embodiment, one end of the side cover B710 is movably connected to the main body B100 and serves as a first pivot end B711. In this way, the side cover B710 can be switched between a first open position and a first closed position around the first pivot end B711. The connection between the first pivot end B711 and the main body B100 includes, but is not limited to, the following methods: for example, the first pivot end B711 can be connected to the main body B100 by sewing or other methods; or the first pivot end B711 can be connected to the main body B100 by welding, bonding, or other methods; or further, the first pivot end B711 can be connected to the main body B100 by a matching component such as a zipper or button. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first pivot end B711 is sewn onto the main body B100, and the periphery of the side cover B710 except the first pivot end B711 is connected to the main body B100 through a zipper, so that the side cover B710 can be opened and closed on the left side wall B150 and the right side wall B130 of the main body B100, thereby allowing the carrying space B110 to be opened or closed.
[0257] Continue to see Figure 26 、 Figure 29 and Figure 31In one embodiment, the end of the side cover B710 distal from the first pivot end B711 is referred to as the first movable end B712. When the side cover B710 is in the first closed position, the first movable end B712 and the first pivot end B711 are located on opposite sides of the side opening B151. This allows the side opening B151 to be sealed. Specifically, the first movable end B712 is provided with a first locking member (not shown), and the first pivot end B711 is provided with a first mating member (not shown). When the side cover B710 is in the first open position, the first locking member engages with the first mating member to maintain the side cover B710 in the first open position. This allows the side opening B151 to remain open, allowing pets to freely enter and exit the main body B100 as needed. Furthermore, when the user needs to place their pet into the main body B100, there is no need to fold the side cover B710 again to expose the side opening B151, thereby improving the ease of use of the animal carrier B1000.
[0258] In one embodiment, the first locking member and the first mating member can be a pair of magnets, a pair of snaps, or a pair of adhesive fasteners that can cooperate with each other. Optionally, the first locking member and the first mating member can be located on the inner surface of the side cover B710 (i.e., the side facing the carrying space B110); of course, they can also be located on the outer surface of the side cover B710 (i.e., the side facing away from the carrying space B110); or, if the first locking member and the first mating member are a pair of magnets, the first locking member and the first mating member can be located inside the side cover B710.
[0259] In order to further improve the convenience of using the animal carrying device B1000, in one embodiment, Figure 26 、 Figure 30 as well as Figure 31 As shown, the animal carrying device B1000 further includes a top cover B720. Specifically, the top wall B160 of the body B100 is provided with a top opening B161, and the top cover B720 is movably arranged at the top opening B161 so that the top cover B720 has a second open position (see FIG. Figure 31 ) and a second closed position (see Figure 26 When the top cover B720 is in the second open position, the top opening B161 is exposed; when the top cover B720 is in the second closed position, the top cover B720 covers the top opening B161. Therefore, when the user needs to place a pet into the carrying space B110 or remove a pet from the main body B100, the top cover B720 can be placed in the second open position; and when the user needs to confine the pet within the carrying space B110, the top cover B720 can be placed in the second closed position. In this way, the user can adapt to either the top opening B161 or the side opening B151 to place a pet into or remove it from the main body B100.
[0260] See also Figure 30 and Figure 31 In one embodiment, one end of the top cover B720 is movably connected to the main body B100 and serves as a second pivot end B721. In this way, the top cover B720 can be switched between a second open position and a second closed position around the second pivot end B721. The connection between the second pivot end B721 and the main body B100 includes, but is not limited to, the following methods: for example, the second pivot end B721 can be connected to the main body B100 by sewing or other methods; or the second pivot end B721 can be connected to the main body B100 by welding, bonding, or other methods; or further, the second pivot end B721 can be connected to the main body B100 by a matching component such as a zipper or button. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second pivot end B721 is sewn onto the main body B100, and the periphery of the top cover B720 except the second pivot end B721 is connected to the main body B100 through a zipper, so that the top cover B720 can be opened and closed on the top wall B160 of the main body B100, thereby allowing the carrying space B110 to be opened or closed.
[0261] Continue to see Figure 30 and Figure 31 In one embodiment, the end of the top cover B720 distal from the second pivot end B721 is referred to as the second movable end B722. When the top cover B720 is in the second closed position, the second pivot end B721 and the second movable end B722 are located on opposite sides of the top opening B161. This allows the top opening B161 to be sealed. Specifically, the second movable end B722 is provided with a second locking member (not shown), and the second pivot end B721 is provided with a second mating member (not shown). When the top cover B720 is in the second open position, the second locking member engages with the second mating member to maintain the top cover B720 in the second open position. This allows the top opening B161 to remain open, allowing pets to freely enter and exit the main body B100 as needed. Furthermore, when the user needs to place the pet inside the main body B100, there is no need to fold the top cover B720 again to expose the top opening B161, thereby improving the ease of use of the animal carrier B1000.
[0262] In one embodiment, the second locking member and the second mating member may be the same as the first locking member and the first mating member described above, and may be a pair of magnets, a pair of snaps, or a pair of adhesive fasteners that can cooperate with each other. Optionally, the second locking member and the second mating member may be located on the inner surface of the top cover B720 (i.e., the side facing the carrying space B110); of course, they may also be located on the outer surface of the top cover B720 (i.e., the side facing away from the carrying space B110); or, if the second locking member and the second mating member are a pair of magnets, the second locking member and the second mating member may be located inside the top cover B720.
[0263] To improve the comfort of pets in carrying space B110, see Figure 26 In one embodiment, at least portions of the side cover B710 and / or the top cover B720 are formed with second hollow areas, which are covered with a second breathable mesh B520. This improves the air permeability of the carrying space B110 within the animal carrying device B1000. Specifically, in this embodiment, at least portions of the top cover B720 and at least portions of the side cover B710 are each formed with a second hollow area. Of course, in other embodiments, the entire top cover B720 and the entire side cover B710 may be formed with a second hollow area. In other words, the two second breathable meshes B520 form the side cover B710 and the top cover B720, respectively.
[0264] like Figures 26 to 27 As shown, the animal carrying device B1000 is equipped with a handle B810, so that the user can conveniently carry the animal carrying device B1000 by using the handle B810. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the number and location of the handles B810 are not specifically limited. For example, there can be one, two, or more handles B810; the handles B810 can be located on the top wall B160 or side walls (such as the front side wall B120, the rear side wall B140, the left side wall B150, or the right side wall B130) of the body B100. Specifically, when there is one handle B810, it is located approximately in the middle of the top wall B160 of the body B100. When there are two handles B810, the two handles B810 can be fixed to the front side wall B120 and the rear side wall B140, or to the left side wall B150 and the right side wall B130, respectively.
[0265] like Figure 26 As shown, to facilitate carrying the animal carrier B1000, the animal carrier B1000 is also provided with two (but not limited to two) buckles B820 for detachably connecting to a crossbody strap. The two buckles B820 are respectively provided on two opposing side walls of the body B100, such as the front side wall B120 and the rear side wall B140. The two buckles B820 are distributed along the diagonal line of the body B100.
[0266] See also Figure 28In one embodiment, the animal carrying device B1000 is provided with an anchor assembly B900, which is suitable for connecting to a vehicle seat to fix the animal carrying device B1000 to the vehicle seat. The anchor assembly B900 includes at least one ISOFIX connector B910, one end of the at least one ISOFIX connector B910 (i.e., the pivot end B911) is pivotally connected to the base B200, and the other end (i.e., the free end B912) is used to connect to at least one connection point of the vehicle seat. In this way, the ISOFIX connector B910 can have an unfolded state (not shown in the figure) and a folded state (see Figure 28 Specifically, when the animal carrier B1000 needs to be secured to a vehicle seat, the ISOFIX connector B910 can be rotated about its pivot end B911 to an extended position, thereby securing it to the vehicle seat connection point. When the animal carrier B1000 needs to be hand-carried, the ISOFIX connector B910 can be rotated about its pivot end B911 to a folded position. This not only reduces the size of the animal carrier B1000 but also prevents the ISOFIX connector B910 from accidentally contacting pedestrians or other objects during movement.
[0267] In one embodiment, the base B200 is provided with at least one folding groove B230. When the ISOFIX connector B910 is in the folded state, the ISOFIX connector B910 is accommodated within the folding groove B230. In one embodiment, when the ISOFIX connector B910 is in the folded state, a side wall thereof facing away from the folding groove B230 is provided with a protrusion B913. Specifically, a side wall of the folding groove B230, near the pivot end B911 and facing the second direction F2, is provided with an abutting protrusion B231. When the ISOFIX connector B910 is in the unfolded state, the abutting protrusion B231 and the protrusion B913 are arranged opposite each other along the second direction F2 and abut against each other. This prevents the ISOFIX connector B910 from directly colliding with the side wall of the folding groove B230 when unfolded, thereby increasing the service life of the animal carrier B1000. Specifically, the abutting protrusion B231 and the convex bump B913 can be made of wear-resistant materials, such as metal, rubber or silicone.
[0268] Figure 35 A perspective view showing a carrier 1100 according to a tenth embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 36 Show Figure 35 Another perspective view of the carrier 1100 is shown, wherein a portion of the second sealing member 1117 a is separated from the body 1110 .
[0269] refer to Figure 35 and Figure 36In the tenth embodiment of the present disclosure, an animal carrying device (also referred to as a carrier 1100 ) is provided. The carrier 1100 can be fixed to a vehicle seat, for example, by a fixing belt assembly (not shown).
[0270] It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," and "right" in this embodiment are based on the orientation of the vehicle (as shown by reference numeral "1100") when placed on a vehicle seat. Specifically, the "front" direction refers to the direction in which the vehicle is moving away from the vehicle seat backrest, which in this embodiment is also the direction in which the vehicle is traveling. The "rear" direction refers to the direction in which the vehicle 1100 is moving toward or against the vehicle seat backrest. The "left" and "rear" directions refer to the lateral directions when viewed from the front of the vehicle 1100.
[0271] Specifically, the carrier 1100 includes a box body (hereinafter referred to as the "body") 1110 and a bottom support member 1120. The bottom support member 1120 is detachably connected to the body 1110 to form a box for providing a storage space with the body 1110. The body 1110 constitutes the four side surfaces and the top surface of the carrier 1100, and the bottom support member 1120 constitutes the bottom of the box. In one example, the body 1110 can be detachably connected to the bottom support member 1120 by at least one first connecting component 1150. The first connecting component 1150 may include a first connecting member provided on the body 1110 and a second connecting member provided on the bottom support member 1120, for example, it may be a detachable structure that cooperates with each other such as a zipper structure, a snap-fit structure, a slide structure, Velcro, a hook and loop structure, or the like.
[0272] The body 1110 may include a first support member and a second support member, and the first support member and the second support member are at least partially detachably connected to each other, that is, at least a portion of the first support member is detachably connected to the second support member. In this embodiment, the first support member may be a side support member 1111, and the second support member may be an upper support member 1112. The side support member 1111 forms two side surfaces of the body 1110, such as the front side and the rear side. The upper support member 1112 forms the top surface of the body 1110 and at least a portion of the other two side surfaces (such as the left side and the right side). Figure 35 As shown, at least a portion of the side support member 1111 can be detachably connected to the upper support member 1112 via a second connecting component 1160. The second connecting component 1160 may include matching structures respectively provided on the side support member 1111 and the upper support member 1112. For example, the matching structures may include a zipper structure, a snap-fit structure, a slide structure, a Velcro or a hook-and-loop structure, etc., and a flexible connection structure may optionally be used, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0273] like Figure 35 and Figure 36As shown, windows may be provided on one or more sides of the body 1110 for viewing the interior of the carrier 1100 and / or for allowing pets to enter and exit the carrier 1100. In this embodiment, the windows include a first window 1116 and / or a second window 1117. The first window 1116 is provided on the side support 1111. The second window 1117 is provided on at least the upper support 1112, for example, on the portion of the upper support 1112 that constitutes the left and / or right side of the body 1110. Optionally, the second window 1117 may extend from the upper support 1112 through a portion of the bottom support 1120.
[0274] In one example, a first window 1116 may be provided on the front and rear sides of the body 1110 (i.e., corresponding to the two side supports 1111 of the body 1110), respectively. The two first windows 1116 may be provided correspondingly, for example, both provided at the center of the corresponding side support 1111. The first window 1116 may have a trapezoidal shape, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and may also have a rectangular, circular, elliptical, or other shape. Optionally, the two first windows 1116 have the same size and / or shape. Optionally or alternatively, the two first windows 1116 may have different sizes and / or shapes. For example, the size of the first window 1116 located on the rear side may be larger than the size of the first window 1116 located on the front side, so as to increase the ventilation area and thereby improve the air permeability of the rear side of the vehicle 1100 (i.e., the side close to or in contact with the back of the vehicle seat). However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and only one first window 1116 may be provided on the carrier 1100 . For example, when the carrier 1100 is placed on a vehicle seat, the first window 1116 is located on a side of the carrier 1100 away from the vehicle seat back.
[0275] Similarly, opposing second windows 1117 may be provided on the left and right sides of the vehicle 1100, respectively, and the two second windows 1117 may have the same or different shapes and / or sizes. Alternatively, only one second window 1117 may be provided on the vehicle 1100, for example, on the left or right side, more specifically, on the side of the vehicle 1100 near the vehicle door.
[0276] Furthermore, the first window 1116 may be provided with a first sealing member 1116a for closing and / or shielding the first window 1116. In this embodiment, the first sealing member 1116a may be a cover that is at least partially detachably or fixedly connected to the first window 1116. In one example, the first sealing member 1116a may be made of a transparent material and / or a breathable material, such as a mesh structure.
[0277] Optionally or additionally, the second window 1117 may be provided with a second sealing member 1117a for closing and / or shielding the second window 1117. In this embodiment, at least a portion of the second sealing member 1117a is detachably connected to the body 1110. For example, Figure 36 As shown, the upper end of the second sealing member 1117a can be fixedly connected to the body 1110, while the other parts can be detachably connected to the body 1110, so that the second sealing member 1117a can be opened upward relative to the second window 1117, that is, the second sealing member 1117a can be flipped up to facilitate the entry and exit of the pet. In one example, the second sealing member 1117a can be made of a transparent material and / or a breathable material, or can be made of a light-blocking material. The second sealing member 1117a can be made of a flexible material or a rigid material and can be detachably connected to the second window 1117 via a flexible or rigid connection structure. For example, the second sealing member 1117a is a breathable mesh or a mesh-like flexible material.
[0278] In addition, if Figure 36 As shown, the exterior of the body 1110 and / or bottom support member 1120 of the carrier 1100 is covered with a cover. The cover may comprise at least one of fabric, plastic, and polyethylene (PE), but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the cover may include a body cover 1130 that wraps around the exterior of the body 1110 and a bottom cover 1140 that wraps around the exterior of the bottom support member 1120. The body cover 1130 and the bottom cover 1140 are detachably connected, for example, via a first connecting component 1150 (such as a zipper structure, Velcro, or hook-and-loop assembly). In one specific example, at least a portion of the first sealing member 1116a and / or at least a portion of the second sealing member 1117a may be fixedly connected to the cover or integrally formed with the cover (e.g., made of the same material as the cover). The present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiment, and the materials and / or connection methods of the first and / or second sealing members may be interchangeable or varied.
[0279] Figure 37A Another perspective view of a vehicle 1100 according to the tenth embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, wherein the vehicle 1100 is provided with an anti-collision protection device 1170 , which may also be referred to as a side impact protection block or anti-collision material. Figure 37B Show Figure 37A The other side of the crash protection device 1170 is shown.
[0280] like Figure 37A and Figure 37BAs shown, the body 1110 may also be provided with an anti-collision protection device 1170. The anti-collision protection device 1170 may have a certain thickness and may be provided on any side of the body 1110 to enhance the safety of the pet within the carrier 1100. The anti-collision protection device 1170 may be provided on any one or more sides of the body 1110. Optionally, when the carrier 1100 is placed on a vehicle seat, the anti-collision protection device 1170 is provided on at least one side of the body 1110 that is close to the vehicle door.
[0281] In this embodiment, if Figure 37A and Figure 37B As shown, the anti-collision protection device 1170 can be a separately formed structure and can be detachably connected to the side of the vehicle 1100. For example, the anti-collision protection device 1170 can be provided with a first fixing member 1181, and the body 1110 can be correspondingly provided with a second fixing member 1182. The first fixing member 1181 and the second fixing member 1182 can be detachably connected to each other to fix the anti-collision protection device 1170 to the vehicle 1100. Specifically, the first fixing member 1181 can be provided on the inner surface 1170a of the anti-collision protection device 1170, for example, by sewing, bonding, etc. (see Figure 37B When the anti-collision protection device 1170 is connected to the body 1110 through the cooperation of the first fixing member 1181 and the second fixing member 1182, the outer surface 1170b of the anti-collision protection device 1170 is exposed, so that the first fixing member 1181 or most of its structure is hidden or obscured, thereby improving the aesthetics. In one example, one of the first fixing member 1181 and the second fixing member 1182 can be a hook and the other can be a hanging ring, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. As long as the cooperation of the first fixing member 1181 and the second fixing member 1182 can removably secure the anti-collision protection device 1170 to the vehicle 1100, it can be used.
[0282] Specifically, the anti-collision protection device 1170 can be a buffer body, and the buffer body can be a foam body, a plastic body, or an elastomer. In one example, the buffer body can be constructed as a separately molded buffer block, which is then sewn into a bag portion such as a bag having the same material as the cover, and is detachably fixed to the side of the carrier 1100. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the anti-collision protection device 1170 can also be constructed to be non-detachably connected to the cover, or formed by the cover itself. By providing such an anti-collision protection device 1170, a better buffering effect can be provided for the pet in the carrier 1100 when the vehicle is accidentally collided, especially when its side is impacted, thereby better protecting the pet.
[0283] refer to Figure 38The eleventh embodiment of the present disclosure provides a carrier 1100 and a fixing belt assembly 1300 for the carrier 1100. The carrier 1100 can be fixed to a vehicle seat 1600 via an ISOFIX connector (not shown) or the fixing belt assembly 1300.
[0284] like Figure 38 As shown, the fixing belt assembly 1300 of this embodiment is configured to be connected to the carrier 1100. Optionally, the fixing belt assembly 1300 is at least partially fixed (e.g., in a detachable or non-detachable manner) to the carrier 1100. At least a portion of the fixing belt assembly 1300 can be stored in the storage space of the carrier 1100.
[0285] Specifically, the carrier 1100 includes a main body 1110 and a bottom support member 1120. The bottom support member 1120 is detachably connected to the main body 1110 to form a box with the main body 1110, providing space for accommodating pets or children. The exterior of the main body 1110 is provided with a cover, which may include at least one of cloth, plastic, and PE, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Specifically, the cover may include a main body cover wrapped around the exterior of the main body 1110, and a bottom cover wrapped around the exterior of the bottom support member 1120. The main body cover and the bottom cover are detachably connected, for example, by a zipper structure, Velcro, a hook and loop assembly, etc., but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0286] In addition, if Figure 38 As shown, the surface of the anti-collision protection device 1170 on the carrier 1100 faces the vehicle door to reduce the impact on the carrier 1100. The anti-collision structure 1170 is at least arranged on the side close to the vehicle door when the carrier 1100 is placed on the vehicle seat 1600.
[0287] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
