[0127] Figure 1 A perspective view of a support device 1000 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the carrying device 1000 has a carrying space 103, which can be used, for example, to accommodate an animal. The carrying device 1000 can be, but is not limited to, a sleeping box, pet carrier, pet ride-on bag, pet sling, etc. The carrying device 1000 can be fixed to a car seat 9000 (see...). Figure 7 It can be carried on a cart frame (not shown) or a personal carrier (e.g., by hand, on a shoulder, etc.). In some examples, the carrier 1000 can accommodate animals weighing up to 60 pounds, and is particularly suitable for animals weighing between 50 and 60 pounds. In some examples, the length of the carrier 1000 can be between 750 mm and 900 mm (e.g., 850 mm), the width of the carrier 1000 can be between 400 mm and 500 mm (e.g., 450 mm), and the height of the carrier 1000 can be between 500 mm and 600 mm (e.g., 570 mm).

[0128] See Figures 1 to 3The support device 1000 includes a body 100 and a base 200. The base 200 is connected to the body 100 and located below the body 100, while the body 100 is positioned above the base 200. The body 100 and the base 200 together form the housing of the support device 1000 and define the support space 103 of the support device 1000. The body 100 constitutes the top 150 and four sides of the support device 1000. Specifically, the four sides include a front side 110, a rear side 120, a left side 130, and a right side 140. The four sides respectively form the four inner sidewalls of the support space 103, and the top 150 forms the top wall of the support space 103. The base 200 constitutes the bottom of the housing of the support device 1000, and this bottom forms the bottom wall of the support space 103. The body 100 can be detachably connected to the base 200 via at least one connecting mechanism 101. The connecting mechanism 101 may include a first connecting member disposed on the body 100 and a second connecting member disposed on the base 200 and detachably connected to the first connecting member. The connecting mechanism 101 may be, for example, a detachable structure that engages with each other, such as a zipper structure, a snap-fit ​​structure, a sliding snap structure, a Velcro structure, or a hook-and-loop structure. In other embodiments, the body 100 may also be fixedly connected to the base 200.

[0129] It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the directional terms such as "front," "rear," "left," and "right" used in the embodiments of the present invention regarding the supporting device 1000 are based on the orientations shown in the figures. Arrows L and R schematically indicate the "left" and "right" directions, while arrows F and B schematically indicate the "front" and "rear" directions. These directional terms are used only to make the description of the embodiments of the present invention clearer and are not intended to unduly limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0130] See Figure 1 and Figure 2At least a portion of at least one side portion can be detachably connected to the top 150 via a mating assembly. The mating structure may include mating structures respectively disposed on the corresponding side portion and the top 150, such as zipper structures, snap-fit ​​structures, sliding snap structures, Velcro structures, hook and loop structures, etc., that can cooperate with each other. In this embodiment, the top 150 is fixedly connected to the left side portion 130 and the right side portion 140 to form an integral structure, and the mating assembly includes a first mating assembly 108 and a second mating assembly 109. At least a portion of the front side portion 110 is detachably connected to a first side 151 of the top 150 via the first mating assembly 108, and the first mating assembly 108 extends partially between the front side portion 110 and the left side portion 130, and between the front side portion 110 and the right side portion 140. At least a portion of the rear side 120 is detachably connected to the second side 152 of the top 150 (i.e., the side opposite to the first side 151) via a second mating assembly 109, and the second mating assembly 109 extends partially between the rear side 120 and the left side 130, and between the rear side 120 and the right side 140. The first mating assembly 108 and the second mating assembly 109 have the same structure, for example, they are zipper structures that can be mated with each other. When it is necessary to store the carrier 1000, the body 100 and the base 200 are first separated, and the first mating assembly 108 and the second mating assembly 109 are untied (e.g., the zipper structure is opened), so that at least a portion of the top 150, the left side 130, and the right side 140 are separated from the front side 110 and the rear side 120. Then the top 150 can be pressed down toward the base 200 so that the top 150 is at least partially embedded in the bearing space 103. As a result, the front side 110 and the rear side 120 can come closer to each other, thereby reducing the size of the bearing device 1000 in the front-to-back direction (i.e., the width direction) and thus reducing the space occupied by the bearing for easy storage.

[0131] See Figures 1 to 3 At least one side of the main body 100 is provided with a vent. Each vent includes, for example, a window provided on at least one side and a sealing member 102 covering the window. In this embodiment, the sealing member 102 can be a cover that is at least partially detachable or fixedly connected to the window. In some examples, the sealing member 102 can have a breathable material, such as a mesh structure. In some examples, the sealing member 102 can have a rigid or flexible material, such as a mesh structure made of flexible fabric or a mesh structure made of rigid metal. Each window is covered, for example, with one or more layers of mesh structure sealing member 102. This increases the breathability of the support device 1000 and facilitates observation of the interior of the support device 1000. The vent may include, for example, a vent area 111 provided on the front side 110 and / or a vent area 121 provided on the rear side 120. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the area of ​​the ventilation area 111 on the front side 110 is smaller than the area of ​​the ventilation area 121 on the rear side 120. More specifically, projecting along the front-rear direction, the projection of the ventilation area 111 on the front side 110 will fall within the projection of the ventilation area 121 on the rear side 120. Optionally, the ventilation portion may further include a ventilation area 131 provided on the left side 130 of the body 100 (see...). Figure 7 ) and / or the ventilation area 141 on the right side 140.

[0132] See Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the front side portion 110 has a non-breathable area 1120, which includes a retaining area 1120a and a reinforcing area 112 connected to each other. The retaining area 1120a is used to maintain the position of the reinforcing area 112 in the front side portion 110. The non-breathable area 1120 has a support structure, which is distributed at least in the reinforcing area 112 (i.e., the entire area of ​​the reinforcing area 112 is provided with a support structure) so that the reinforcing area 112 strengthens the support strength of the front side portion 110. It should be noted that the material of the retaining area 1120a can be a self-supporting material, so that the retaining area 1120a can support itself. When the load-bearing device 1000 is used normally, the retaining area 1120a can be in a stiff and non-collapsed state, thereby avoiding the positional change of the reinforcing area 112 due to the collapse and displacement of the retaining area 1120a; or, the retaining area 1120a can be supported by the support frame after being connected to the support frame (for example, the edge of the retaining area 1120a is connected to the support frame). Thus, when the load-bearing device 1000 is used normally, the retaining area 1120a can be in a stiff and non-collapsed state through the support frame, which can also avoid the positional change of the reinforcing area 112. It should be noted that in this embodiment, both the retaining region 1120a and the reinforcing region 112 have supporting structures. The material of the supporting structures has a certain degree of hardness. Therefore, the retaining region 1120a has self-supporting properties through the supporting structures to maintain the position of the reinforcing region 112. Moreover, the reinforcing region 112 can increase the supporting strength of the front side 110 through the supporting structures. In other embodiments, the supporting structures may only be distributed in the reinforcing region 110, and the retaining region 1120a may not have supporting structures.

[0133] See Figures 1 to 3 The front side portion 110 has a lower region below the horizontal center line M and an upper region above the horizontal center line M; that is, the front side portion 110 can be divided into a lower region below the horizontal center line M and an upper region above the horizontal center line M. In this embodiment, the front side portion 110 is approximately isosceles trapezoidal, and the area S of the upper region is... u Slightly smaller than the area S of the lower region d .

[0134] The retaining area 1120a and the reinforcing area 112 extend at least partially into the lower region. When an animal (e.g., a pet cat, pet dog, etc.) is within the bearing device 1000, especially when the bearing device 1000 is impacted, the animal (e.g., its head and neck area) tends to be positioned in the lower region. The reinforcing area 112 extending into the lower region and being held in place by the retaining area 1120a provides more effective protection for the animal and reduces the risk of injury. See also Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, both the upper and lower regions have a retaining region 1120a and a reinforcing region 112, increasing the distribution range of the reinforcing region 112. A portion of the reinforcing region 112 is located in the lower region to form a lower reinforcing region (i.e., the portion of the reinforcing region located in the lower region is called the lower reinforcing region), and a portion of the reinforcing region is located in the upper region to form an upper reinforcing region (i.e., the portion of the reinforcing region located in the upper region is called the upper reinforcing region). In some embodiments, the upper region may not have a retaining region 1120a and / or a reinforcing region 112.

[0135] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The reinforcing region 112 includes a first reinforcing region 112a and a second reinforcing region 112b. The second reinforcing region 112b is adjacent to the edge of the front side portion 110 relative to the first reinforcing region 112a, and extends along the edge of the front side portion 110. In this embodiment, the second reinforcing region 112b extends along the entire edge length of the upper edge, left edge, and right edge of the front side portion 110. The second reinforcing region 112b is elongated and generally extends to form an arc-shaped structure. The first reinforcing region 112a is located inside the arc-shaped second reinforcing region 112b. In some examples, the extension length of the second reinforcing region 112b can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the second reinforcing region 112b may only extend along the upper edge of the front side portion 110, or only along the left edge or right edge, which is not limited in this invention. The second reinforcing region 112b can strengthen the support strength of the edge region of the support device 1000, which is beneficial to maintaining the overall shape of the support device 1000 and improving the safety of the support device 1000.

[0136] Furthermore, the supporting strength of the second reinforcing region 112b is greater than that of the first reinforcing region 112a. The first reinforcing region 112a and the second reinforcing region 112b can be made of the same material, but with different densities or thicknesses; for example, the density of the material in the supporting structure of the second reinforcing region 112b is greater than that of the supporting structure of the first reinforcing region 112a. The first reinforcing region 112a and the second reinforcing region 112b can also be made of different materials with different hardnesses; for example, the hardness of the material in the supporting structure of the second reinforcing region 112b is greater than that of the supporting structure of the first reinforcing region 112a.

[0137] Furthermore, the second reinforcing region 112b protrudes outward relative to other areas of the front side portion 110. Therefore, when the front side portion 110 is subjected to external impact, the second reinforcing region 112b, with its greater supporting strength, can resist the impact first, reducing the risk of the impact force directly acting on the central area of ​​the front side portion 110 or weakening the impact force acting on the central area of ​​the front side portion 110, thereby more effectively protecting the animal and improving the safety of the bearing device. Furthermore, the second reinforcing region 112b has a first edge 112b1 and a second edge 112b2, with the second edge 112b2 being further away from the first edge 112b1 than the first reinforcing region 112a. The second reinforcing region 112b can be bent relative to other areas, or be thinner or thicker relative to other areas, making the first edge 112b1 and the second edge 112b2 easily observable. In some examples, the second reinforcing region 112b can also be smoothly transitioned to other areas of the front side portion 110.

[0138] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the rear side portion 120 may also be provided with a reinforcing area 122, which has a supporting structure. The reinforcing area 122 of the rear side portion 120 includes a second reinforcing area 122b, which may be symmetrically arranged with the second reinforcing area 112b of the front side portion 110. Specifically, the second reinforcing area 122b of the rear side portion 120 has a supporting structure, the structure of which is similar to that of the second reinforcing area 112b provided on the front side portion 110, and will not be described again here. More specifically, all areas of the rear side portion 120 except for the ventilated area 121 may be provided with supporting structures.

[0139] See Figure 4 The reinforcing zone 112 can be a single-layer or multi-layer structure. When the reinforcing zone 112 includes a multi-layer structure, the supporting structure forms at least one layer of the reinforcing zone 112. The reinforcing zone 112 can be configured with, for example, two, three, or four layers, depending on actual needs. See also Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, the reinforcing area 112 has a three-layer structure, including a first layer 1127, a second layer 1128, and an intermediate layer 1129 disposed between the first layer 1127 and the second layer 1128. The first layer 1127 forms the outer surface of the front side portion 110, and the second layer 1128 forms the inner surface of the front side portion 110. In this embodiment, the materials used to make the first layer 1127 and the second layer 1128 can be selected from fabrics (e.g., woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, cloth fabrics, and other fabrics), leather, PU leather, PVC, etc. The intermediate layer 1129 is a support structure to strengthen the support strength of the front side portion 110. In some examples, the support structure also has a cushioning function; when the body 100 is bound or subjected to impact, the reinforcing area 112 can provide a certain cushioning effect on the binding pressure or impact force, improving the safety of the load-bearing device.

[0140] In some examples, the support structure is formed by extruding polypropylene (PP) or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) foam to form a PP foam or EVA foam, but is not limited to this. This increases the strength of the intermediate layer 1129, thereby increasing the strength of the reinforcing region 112, while also giving the reinforcing region 112 cushioning properties. The formation process of the reinforcing region 112 can be as follows: first, one surface of the support structure is adhered to one of the first layer 1127 and the second layer 1128; then, the support structure is pressed onto one of the first layer 1127 and the second layer 1128 by hot pressing (e.g., at a temperature of 70 to 80 degrees Celsius); then, the other of the first layer 1127 and the second layer 1128 is adhered to the other surface of the support structure, thereby encapsulating the support structure inside the reinforcing region 112. Furthermore, in order to form a first reinforcing region 112a and a second reinforcing region 112b with different support strengths, the foam can be extruded multiple times or the extrusion force can be increased in the area where the second reinforcing region 112b needs to be formed, thereby increasing the density of the support structure of the second reinforcing region 112b and increasing the support strength of the second reinforcing region 112b. The first edge 112b1 and the second edge 112b2 of the second reinforcing region 112b can correspond to the indentation formed during the extrusion molding of the second reinforcing region 112b by the mold. In some alternative embodiments, the reinforcing region 112 may only include the first layer 1127 and the support structure, without including the second layer 1128, and the support structure is formed as the inner surface of the reinforcing region 112 of the front side portion 110; or it may only include the second layer 1128 and the support structure, without including the first layer 1127, and the support structure is formed as the outer surface of the reinforcing region 112 of the front side portion 110. In some alternative embodiments, the reinforcing region 112 includes a first layer 1127, a second layer 1128, and a support structure. The support structure can be fixed to the first layer 1127 or the second layer 1128 of the front side portion 110 by means of pressing, sewing, heat fusion, etc., and forms the inner or outer surface of the reinforcing region 112 of the front side portion 110, rather than being covered inside the front side portion 110. In this case, the support structure of the front side portion 110 can be the same as the support structure of the intermediate layer 1129 described above. For example, it can be formed by foaming polypropylene (PP) or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) to form a PP foam (i.e., EPP material) or an EVA foam (i.e., EVA material), and then extruding it.

[0141] In some examples, when the retaining area 1120a also has a support structure and is self-supporting, the materials of the support structures of the retaining area 1120a and the reinforcing area 112 can be the same or different. To simplify the production process, the support structures of the retaining area 1120a and the reinforcing area 112 are made of the same material (for example, both the retaining area 1120a and the reinforcing area 112 are formed simultaneously using the above materials and steps, so that both the retaining area 1120a and the reinforcing area 112 are multi-layered structures). Optionally, the support structure of the retaining area 1120a can also be a wooden board, plastic, metal sheet, etc. In this embodiment, the retaining area 1120a and the reinforcing area 112 of the non-breathable area 1120 are an integral structure. The entire area of ​​the non-breathable area 1120 is provided with a support structure; specifically, the entire area of ​​the retaining area 1120a and the entire area of ​​the reinforcing area 112 of the non-breathable area 1120 are provided with support structures. In other examples, a portion of the non-breathable area 1120 may be provided with a support structure. Specifically, the holding area 1120a of the non-breathable area 1120 may be provided with a support structure only in a portion thereof.

[0142] See Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the front side portion 110 includes at least two (e.g., two, three, four, five, etc.) spaced-apart ventilation zones 111. The plurality of ventilation zones 111 on the front side portion 110 can improve the breathability of the support device 1000 and enhance the comfort of the animal within the support device 1000. In some examples, at least two ventilation zones 111 may be partially (e.g., at least a portion of one of the at least two ventilation zones 111) formed in the lower region, or may be entirely formed in the lower region, or may be entirely formed in the upper region.

[0143] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the front side portion 110 is provided with two ventilation areas 111, namely a first ventilation area 111a and a second ventilation area 111b. The two ventilation areas 111 are arranged approximately along the height direction (i.e., the vertical direction). The second ventilation area 111b is located approximately above the first ventilation area 111a. Specifically, the first ventilation area 111a is located approximately in the lower region and approximately in the middle of the front side portion 110 in the horizontal direction. The second ventilation area 111b is located in the upper region and approximately in the middle of the front side portion 110 in the horizontal direction. The shapes of the first ventilation area 111a and the second ventilation area 111b can be approximately the same or different. The first ventilation area 111a can be approximately rectangular, or approximately circular, elliptical, or trapezoidal, for example. The second ventilation area 111b can be approximately rectangular, or approximately circular, elliptical, or trapezoidal, for example.

[0144] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the area S of the region with supporting structure in the lower region d1 The area S of the lower region is greater than the area of ​​the breathable zone 111. d2 In this embodiment, the area S of the region with the supporting structure in the lower region is... d1 The ratio of the area to the area of ​​the lower region is 0.3 to 0.82 (i.e., greater than or equal to 0.3 and less than or equal to 0.82). It should be noted that when both the retaining region 1120a and the reinforcing region 112 have supporting structures, the total area of ​​the retaining region 1120a and the reinforcing region 112 with supporting structures in the lower region is equal to "the area S of the region with supporting structures in the lower region". d1 "; and when the retaining region 1120a does not have a supporting structure, and only the reinforcing region 112 has a supporting structure, then the total area of ​​the reinforcing region 112 in the lower region (that is, the area of ​​the lower reinforcing region) is "the area S of the region in the lower region with a supporting structure". d1 ".

[0145] Since the ventilation area 111 of the front part 110 is generally hollow to ensure the airflow inside the support device 1000, the edge area of ​​the ventilation area 111 is relatively easy to deform or be damaged. In this embodiment, at least a portion of the reinforcing area 112 is provided around the edge of the ventilation area 111 to strengthen the support of the edge area of ​​the ventilation area 111 and improve the safety of the support device 1000. More specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the non-breathable area 1120 has a spacer 1121 located between each pair of adjacent breathable areas 111, the spacer 1121 separating each breathable area 111. The spacer 1121 is provided with a support structure so that the spacer 1121 forms at least a portion of the reinforcing area 112. In this embodiment, the spacer 1121 is located between the first breathable area 111a and the second breathable area 111b. The spacer 1121 extends substantially along the length direction (i.e., the left-right direction) of the support device 1000, and the support structure of the spacer 1121 extends substantially along the length direction of the support device 1000.

[0146] See Figure 1 and Figure 3Furthermore, the non-breathable area 1120 also has a peripheral portion 1122 connected to the spacer portion 1121, and the peripheral portion 1122 is disposed around the edge of the breathable area 111. In other words, the peripheral portion 1122 is located outside the area jointly formed by at least two breathable areas 111 and the spacer portion 1121. The peripheral portion 1122 is provided with a support structure to form at least a portion of the reinforcing area 112. In this embodiment, the support structure of the peripheral portion 1122 may at least surround the left and right sides of the first breathable area 111a and the second breathable area 111b. That is, reinforcing areas 112 are provided on both the left and right sides of the first breathable area 111a, and reinforcing areas 112 are provided on both the left and right sides of the second breathable area 111b. The reinforcing area 112 formed by the spacer portion 1121 and the peripheral portion 1122 is generally dumbbell-shaped (see Figure 3 (Dotted line illustration). Optionally, a reinforcing zone 112 may also be provided on the lower side of the first ventilating zone 111a and the upper side of the second ventilating zone 111b, thereby the reinforcing zone 112 can surround the two ventilating zones 111.

[0147] See Figure 3 The lower region of the front side portion 110 has a protective portion 119. The protective portion 119 protects the head and neck of an animal located within the support device 1000, and when the animal is in the support device 1000, the protective portion 119 is generally aligned with the animal's head and neck. The protective portion 119 has a supporting structure to form at least a portion of the reinforcing area 112, thereby increasing the strength of the protective portion 119 and providing more effective protection for the animal. In particular, when the support device 1000 is impacted, the protective portion 119 can protect the animal's head and neck, reducing injury.

[0148] See Figure 3The front portion 110 has two protective portions 119 located on the left and right sides of the lower region, respectively. The two protective portions 119 roughly correspond to areas between one-fifth and one-third of the total length L0 of the lower region and between two-thirds and four-fifths of the total length L0 of the lower region, respectively. That is, the outer edges (i.e., the edges furthest from each other) of the two protective portions 119 are approximately located at one-fifth and four-fifths of the total length L0 of the lower region, respectively, and the inner edges (i.e., the edges closest to each other) of the two protective portions 119 are approximately located at one-third and two-thirds of the total length L0 of the lower region, respectively. Both protective portions 119 are provided with support structures to form at least a portion of the reinforcing area 112. The load-bearing device 1000 is larger in length than in width (i.e., front-to-back). When an animal is inside the support device 1000, it tends to turn its head towards the left side 130 or the right side 140. The position of the animal's head and neck will most likely correspond to the position of one of the protective parts 119. Therefore, by providing support structures for the two protective parts 119, the deformation of the protective parts 119 under external impact can be reduced, effectively buffering or preventing possible injury to the animal's head and neck.

[0149] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 The lower side of the protective portion 119 is approximately adjacent to or flush with the lower side of the first ventilated area 111a, and the upper side of the protective portion 119 is approximately flush with the horizontal center line M. Specifically, the outer periphery 1122 extends at least to the protective portion 119, that is, the protective portion 119 is provided with a support structure. In this embodiment, the first ventilated area 111a is approximately located in the middle of the supporting device 1000 in the left-right direction, and the two protective portions 119 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the first ventilated area 111a.

[0150] See also Figures 5 to 7The support device 1000 is also provided with a fixing mechanism 300. In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism 300 can be connected to the housing of the support device 1000, for example, through a fixed connection or a detachable connection. The support device 1000 can be fixed to the car seat 9000 through the fixing mechanism 300. More specifically, the fixing mechanism 300 can be detachably fixed to the housing of the support device 1000; or, the fixing mechanism 300 can be non-detachably fixed to the housing of the support device 1000, so that a part of the fixing mechanism 300 is always connected to the housing of the support device 1000, that is, there is no need to repeatedly install or remove the fixing mechanism 300. In some examples, when the support device 1000 is fixed to the car seat 9000, the rear side of the support device 1000 (i.e., the rear side 120 of the body 100) faces the backrest 901 of the car seat 9000, the base 200 is supported by the seat 902 of the car seat 9000, and the fixing mechanism 300 extends from the side of the support device 1000 away from the backrest 901 (e.g., the front side 110) through the bottom side of the base 200 (i.e., the side of the base 200 away from the body 100) or through the base 200, and the two ends of the fixing mechanism 300 extend toward the backrest 901 and are respectively connected to different positions of the car seat 9000 so as to stably and securely fix the housing of the support device 1000 to the car seat 9000.

[0151] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the fixing mechanism 300 has a used state and a non-used state. When the fixing mechanism 300 is connected to the housing of the carrier 1000 and the vehicle seat 9000, the fixing mechanism 300 is in the used state (e.g., ...). Figure 7 (as shown), otherwise the fixing mechanism 300 is in a non-use state. For example, when the fixing mechanism 300 is stored in the receiving part 210, the fixing mechanism 300 is in a non-use state.

[0152] See also Figures 5 to 7The fixing mechanism 300 includes a fixing strap 310 and a connecting assembly 320 disposed on the fixing strap 310. The fixing strap 310 is, for example, a webbing. In this embodiment, the fixing strap 310 is generally Y-shaped and includes a first strap body 313 and two second strap bodies 314. The first strap body 313 is provided with an adjustable adjusting member 315, which is used to adjust the length of the fixing strap 310, and in particular, to adjust the length of the first strap body 313. The first end of the first strap body 313 forms the first end of the fixing strap 310, and the first ends of each of the second strap bodies 314 are respectively connected to the second end of the first strap body 313, and the second ends of the two second strap bodies 314 respectively form the two second ends of the fixing strap 310. The connecting assembly 320 includes a first connecting assembly 321 disposed at the first end of the fixing strap 310 and two second connecting assemblies 322 respectively disposed at the second ends of the fixing strap 310. The first connecting component 321 includes, for example, a connecting hook 3211 that can pass around the top 150 of the body 100 and connect to the backrest 901 or other relevant connection location of the vehicle seat 9000. For example, the connecting hook 3211 connects to a connecting member (not shown) provided on the backrest 901 of the vehicle seat 9000. Specifically, after the connecting hook 3211, along with the first end (not shown) of the fixing strap 310, passes around the front side 110 of the body 100 and exits below the handle 190 provided on the top 150, the connecting hook 3211 connects to a connecting member (e.g., a connecting crossbar) provided on the backrest 901. Two second connecting components 322 can respectively pass through or around the bottom side of the base 200 and extend towards the backrest 901, and then connect to connecting members (not shown) on the left and right sides of the seat 902 of the vehicle seat 9000. Figure 7 As shown, after the fixing mechanism 300 is connected to the housing of the carrier 1000 and the car seat 9000, at least a portion of the fixing strap 310 is wrapped around (or covers) the front side portion 110 to form a front section 311. The Y-shaped fixing strap 310 facilitates passing under the handle 190 and allows the connection points formed between the first connecting assembly 321, the second connecting assembly 322, and the connecting parts disposed on the car seat 9000 to be approximately triangularly distributed, thereby enabling the carrier 1000 to be more stably fixed to the car seat 9000. Further, when the fixing mechanism 300 is in use, at least a portion of the two second straps 314 cover the front side portion 110 with the spacing gradually increasing from top to bottom. The fixing strap 310 is wrapped around the front side portion 110 in an approximately inverted V shape, that is, the front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 is approximately distributed in an inverted V shape. In this embodiment, as Figure 6As shown, the first belt body 313 and the second belt body 314 of the fixing belt 310 are fixedly connected. In other embodiments, the first belt body 313 and the second belt body 314 of the fixing belt 310 are detachably connected.

[0153] See Figure 2 as well as Figures 5 to 7 The base 200 is provided with a receiving portion 210, which has a receiving space (not shown) for accommodating the fixing mechanism 300. The receiving portion 210 is provided with a cooperating structure such as a zipper, snap, or Velcro to open or close the receiving portion 210. The receiving portion 210 includes a first receiving portion 210a provided on the front side of the base 200 and a second receiving portion 210b provided on the rear side of the base 200. The first receiving space (not shown) of the first receiving portion 210a and the second receiving space (not shown) of the second receiving portion 210b are interconnected and together form the receiving space (not shown) of the receiving portion 210. When it is necessary to accommodate the fixing mechanism 300, the first connecting component 321 together with a part of the fixing strap 310 can be accommodated in the first receiving portion 210a, and the two second connecting components 322 together with the other part of the fixing strap 310 can be accommodated in the second receiving portion 210b, and then the opening of the receiving portion 210 can be closed. This not only makes the bearing device 1000 more aesthetically pleasing, but also prevents the fixing mechanism 300 from being hooked or tangled when not in use, making it easier to lift the bearing device 1000 and preventing the fixing mechanism 300 from being lost due to careless placement.

[0154] In this embodiment, the fixing strap 310 passes through the base 200 and extends from the front and rear of the base 200. Specifically, the base 200 has two through-channels (not shown) inside, which are used to limit the position and extension direction of at least a portion of the fixing strap 310 to prevent the fixing strap 310 from shifting arbitrarily. The front end of each through-channel communicates with the first receiving space, and the rear end of each through-channel communicates with the second receiving space. The first connecting component 321 can extend from the opening of the first receiving portion 210a, and the two second connecting components 322 can extend from the opening of the second receiving portion 210b. The two second strap bodies 314 of the fixing strap 310 are respectively passed through the corresponding through-channels of the base 200. The two through-channels extend in a generally front-rear direction and are located on the left and right sides of the base 200, respectively. In some examples, the distance between the front ends of the two through channels in the left-right direction is greater than the distance between the rear ends of the two through channels in the left-right direction. This guides the two second belts 314 to extend from the front of the housing, placing them closer to the left and right sides of the front portion 110 (i.e., the sides along the length of the housing), thus making the connection between the support device 1000 and the vehicle more secure. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the base 200 may not have the receiving portion 210, and the through channels may be directly located on the bottom surface of the housing.

[0155] See Figure 7When the fixing mechanism 300 is in use, at least a portion of the fixing strap 310 is wrapped around the upper part 150 and the front side part 110 of the body 100, and the fixing strap 310 is wrapped around the bottom side of the base 200 or passes through the base 200. Specifically, when the fixing mechanism 300 is in use, at least a portion of the fixing strap 310 is wrapped around the front side part 110 to form a front section 311, at least a portion of the front section 311 covering the reinforcing area 112. More specifically, at least a portion of the front section 311 covers the reinforcing area 112 located in the lower region. When the fixing mechanism 300 is in use, at least a portion of the fixing strap 310 presses against the reinforcing area 112. At this time, the reinforcing area 112 provides resistance to the fixing strap 310. The reinforcing area 112 on the front side part 110 can effectively reduce the pressure of the fixing strap 310 on the animal located in the bearing device 1000, and at the same time, it can provide protection for the animal in the bearing device 1000 in the event of an impact. In this embodiment, the reinforcing area 112 has buffering properties, such as a certain degree of elasticity. Thus, when the fixing mechanism 300 is in use, the reinforcing area 112 may undergo some elastic deformation under the pressure of the fixing strap 310, buffering and absorbing the pressure of the fixing strap 310. However, when the fixing mechanism 300 is not in use, the fixing strap 310 no longer presses against the front side 110, and the reinforcing area 112 can rebound and recover. Furthermore, when the front side 110 is subjected to external impact, the front side 110 undergoes elastic deformation, further buffering and absorbing the impact force, improving the safety of the bearing device 1000. The support structure in this embodiment is made of a material that combines rigidity and flexibility, allowing the reinforcing area 112 to both strengthen the support strength of the front side 110 and buffer and absorb the forces acting on the front side 110 (e.g., the pressure of the fixing strap 310 and external impact forces).

[0156] See Figures 5 to 7 The front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 includes a first section 3111 and a second section 3112. The first section 3111 covers the area with the supporting structure in the non-breathable area 1120, and the second section covers the breathable area 111. The area S1 of the first section 3111 is larger than the area S2 of the second section 3112. The ratio S1 / S of the area S1 of the first section 3111 to the area S of the front section 311 is 0.3 to 1, that is, greater than or equal to 0.3 and less than or equal to 1. Specifically, the ratio S1 / S of the area S1 of the first section 3111 to the area S of the front section 311 is 0.5 to 0.7.

[0157] It should be noted that when the ratio S1 / S of the area S1 of the first segment 3111 to the area S of the front segment 311 is 1 (i.e., S1 / S = 1), the ventilated area 111 on the front part 110 is not covered by the fixing strap 310. The ventilated area 111 of the front part 110 is completely misaligned with the fixing strap 310, and the front segment 311 of the fixing strap 310 completely covers the area with the supporting structure. For example, when only the reinforcing area 112 has a supporting structure, the front segment 311 completely covers the reinforcing area 112. As another example, when both the reinforcing area 112 and the retaining area 1120a have supporting structures, a portion of the front segment 311 covers the reinforcing area 112, and the remaining portion of the front segment 311 covers the retaining area 1120a.

[0158] Furthermore, the ventilation area 111 is spaced apart from the upper edge of the front side portion 110, for example... Figure 5 The second ventilation zone 111b shown is spaced apart from the upper edge of the front side portion 110. At least a portion of the reinforcing zone 112 is located between the ventilation zone 111 and the upper edge of the front side portion 110. When the fixing mechanism 300 is in use, the fixing strap 310 abuts against the reinforcing zone 112 located between the ventilation zone 111 and the upper edge of the front side portion 110. More specifically, the reinforcing zone 112 located between the ventilation zone 111 and the upper edge of the front side portion 110 is approximately located at the center of the front side portion 110 in the left-right direction, or the reinforcing zone 112 located between the ventilation zone 111 and the upper edge of the front side portion 110 is correspondingly provided with the handle 190 in the left-right direction.

[0159] Furthermore, the ventilation area 111 is spaced apart from the lower edge of the front side portion 110, for example... Figure 5 The first ventilated area 111a shown is spaced apart from the lower edge of the front side portion 110. At least a portion of the reinforcing area 112 is located between the ventilated area 111a and the lower edge of the front side portion 110. When the fixing mechanism 300 is in use, the fixing strap 310 abuts against the reinforcing area 112 located between the ventilated area 111a and the lower edge of the front side portion 110. More specifically, the reinforcing area 112 located between the ventilated area 111a and the lower edge of the front side portion 110 is approximately located in the middle of the front side portion 110 in the left-right direction. It should be noted that in the front side portion 110, the area adjacent to the upper edge of the front side portion 110 or the area adjacent to the lower edge of the front side portion 110 easily forms the main pressure-bearing position of the fixing strap 310. Providing the reinforcing area 112 at these positions can more effectively resist the pressure of the fixing strap 310.

[0160] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the fixing strap 310 has two front ends 312 located on the front side of the base 200. The fixing strap 310 has a front section 311 extending upward from the front ends 312 and covering the front side portion 110. In this embodiment, the fixing strap 310 passes through the base 200 and exits from the front side of the base 200, so the portion of the fixing strap 310 at the opening of the first receiving portion 210a is the front end 312. In other embodiments, the fixing strap 310 may not pass through the base 200, and the end of the fixing strap 310 viewed from the front of the base 200 is the front end 312 located on the front side of the base 200. The two front ends 312 are distributed in the left-right direction on the left and right sides of the ventilated area 111 (e.g., the first ventilated area 111a) located in the lower region. That is, the two front ends 312 are respectively distributed in the left-right direction on the outer side of the ventilation area 111 in the lower region (i.e., outside the left and right edges of the first ventilation area 111a). This reduces the area covered by the fixing strap 310 in the first ventilation area 111a, reduces the impact of the fixing strap 310 on the breathability of the front part 110, and also reduces the deformation of the front part 110. Specifically, the two front ends 312 are respectively distributed in the left-right direction on the left and right sides of at least two ventilation areas 111 (e.g., the first ventilation area 111a and the second ventilation area 111b). More specifically, the distance between the two front ends of the through-channel in the left-right direction is greater than the size of the ventilation area 111 in the left-right direction.

[0161] Example 2

[0162] Figure 8 A front view of a support device 1000 provided according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the fixing mechanism 300 is in use.

[0163] like Figure 8 As shown, the support device 1000 includes a body 100, a base 200, and a fixing mechanism 300. The body 100 forms the top 150 and four sides of the support device 1000. Specifically, the four sides include a front side 110, a rear side 120 (similar to...), and a rear side 120. Figure 2 The left side portion 130 and the right side portion 140 are also described. The base 200, fixing mechanism 300, etc., can be referred to in the first embodiment described above, and will not be repeated here. The support device 1000 in this embodiment differs from the support device 1000 in the first embodiment in at least the following ways.

[0164] See Figure 8The front side portion 110 has two ventilation zones 111, namely a first ventilation zone 111a and a second ventilation zone 111b. The portion of the front side portion 110 other than the two ventilation zones 111 forms a non-ventilated area 1120. The two ventilation zones 111 are arranged approximately along the length direction (i.e., approximately the left-right direction). A portion of each ventilation zone 111 is located in the upper region of the front side portion 110, and another portion is located in the lower region of the front side portion 110. The shapes of the first ventilation zone 111a and the second ventilation zone 111b can be approximately the same or different. For example, the first ventilation zone 111a can be approximately rectangular, or approximately circular, elliptical, or trapezoidal. The second ventilation zone 111b can be approximately rectangular, or approximately circular, elliptical, or trapezoidal.

[0165] The non-breathable area 1120 includes a retaining area 1120a and a reinforcing area 112. The non-breathable area 1120 has a supporting structure, and the supporting structure is at least distributed in the reinforcing area 112. This allows the load-bearing device 1000 to have both good air permeability and good supporting strength, thereby improving the safety of the load-bearing device 1000. The non-breathable area 1120 includes a spacer portion 1121 and a peripheral portion 1122 connected to the spacer portion 1121. The spacer portion 1121 is located between the first breathable area 111a and the second breathable area 111b, and extends generally along the height direction. The peripheral portion 1122 can surround the upper and lower sides of the first breathable area 111a and the second breathable area 111b. That is, the peripheral portion 1122 is provided on both the upper and lower sides of the first breathable area 111a, and the peripheral portion 1122 is provided on both the upper and lower sides of the second breathable area 111b. The outer periphery 1122 may also be provided on the left side of the first ventilated area 111a and / or the right side of the second ventilated area 111b. In addition to being distributed in the reinforcing area 112, the support structure may also be provided at least partially in the retaining area 1120a. The distribution position, material and molding method of the support structure can be found in the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0166] See also Figure 8 The fixing mechanism 300 includes a fixing strap 310. When the fixing mechanism 300 is in use, at least a portion of the front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 covers the area with a support structure in the front section 110. The front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 includes a first section 3111 and a second section 3112. The first section 3111 covers the area with a support structure in the non-breathable area 1120, and the second section covers the breathable area 111. The area S1 of the first section 3111 is larger than the area S2 of the second section 3112.

[0167] Furthermore, the ratio S1 / S of the area S1 of the first segment 3111 to the area S of the front segment 311 is 0.4 to 0.5, that is, greater than or equal to 0.4 and less than or equal to 0.5. In the left-right direction, the two front ends 312 of the fixing strap 310 can be located outside the two ventilation areas 111 (i.e., outside the two distant edges of the two ventilation areas 111) or inside the two close edges of the two ventilation areas 111, which is not limited by the present invention.

[0168] Example 3

[0169] Figure 9 A front view of a support device 1000 provided according to a third embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the fixing mechanism 300 is in use.

[0170] like Figure 9 As shown, the support device 1000 includes a body 100, a base 200, and a fixing mechanism 300. The body 100 forms the top 150 and four sides of the support device 1000. Specifically, the four sides include a front side 110, a rear side 120 (see...). Figure 2 The left side portion 130 and the right side portion 140 are also described. The base 200, fixing mechanism 300, etc., can be referred to in the first embodiment described above, and will not be repeated here. The support device 1000 in this embodiment differs from the support device 1000 in the first embodiment in at least the following ways.

[0171] See Figure 9 The front side portion 110 is provided with three ventilation zones 111. The portion of the front side portion 110 other than the three ventilation zones 111 forms a non-ventilated area 1120. The three ventilation zones 111 are roughly distributed in an inverted triangle shape, for example, two of the ventilation zones 111 are located in the upper region of the front side portion 110, and the other ventilation zone 111 is located in the lower region of the front side portion 110. The shapes of the ventilation zones 111 can be roughly the same or different. In this embodiment, the ventilation zones 111 can be roughly rectangular, or roughly circular, elliptical, or trapezoidal, etc.

[0172] The non-breathable area 1120 includes a retaining area 1120a and a reinforcing area 112. The non-breathable area 1120 has a supporting structure, and the supporting structure is at least distributed in the reinforcing area 112. This allows the load-bearing device 1000 to have both good air permeability and good supporting strength, thereby improving the safety of the load-bearing device 1000. The non-breathable area 1120 includes a spacer 1121 located between each pair of adjacent breathable areas 111, thereby separating the individual breathable areas 111. The spacer 1121 has a supporting structure to form at least a portion of the reinforcing area 112, which is, for example, triangular or inverted "V" shaped. Furthermore, the non-breathable area 1120 also has a peripheral portion 1122 connected to the spacer and surrounding the edge of the breathable area 111, the peripheral portion 1122 having a supporting structure to form at least a portion of the reinforcing area 112. In addition to being distributed in the reinforcing area 112, the support structure can also be at least partially extended in the holding area 1120a. The distribution location, material, and forming method of the support structure can be found in the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0173] See also Figure 9 The fixing mechanism 300 includes a fixing strap 310. When the fixing mechanism 300 is in use, at least a portion of the front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 covers the area with a support structure in the front section 110. The front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 includes a first section 3111 and a second section 3112. The first section 3111 covers the area with a support structure in the non-breathable area 1120, and the second section 3112 covers the breathable area 111. The area S1 of the first section 3111 is larger than the area S2 of the second section 3112. The ratio S1 / S of the area S1 of the first section 3111 to the area S of the front section 311 is 0.8 to 1, that is, greater than or equal to 0.8 and less than or equal to 1. The extension path of the front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 can avoid the three ventilation zones 111, reduce the coverage and pressure of the fixing strap 310 on the ventilation zones 111, ensure air circulation within the support device 1000 and reduce pressure on the pet.

[0174] Example 4

[0175] Figure 10 A front view of a support device 1000 provided according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the fixing mechanism 300 is in use.

[0176] like Figure 10 As shown, the support device 1000 includes a body 100, a base 200, and a fixing mechanism 300. The body 100 forms the top 150 and four sides of the support device 1000. Specifically, the four sides include a front side 110, a rear side 120 (see...). Figure 2The left side portion 130 and the right side portion 140 are also described. The base 200, fixing mechanism 300, etc., can be referred to in the first embodiment described above, and will not be repeated here. The support device 1000 in this embodiment differs from the support device 1000 in the first embodiment in at least the following ways.

[0177] See Figure 10 The front side portion 110 is provided with four breathable zones 111 spaced apart from each other. The portion of the front side portion 110 other than the four breathable zones 111 is formed as a non-breathable zone 1120. Two of the breathable zones 111 are located, for example, in the upper region of the front side portion 110, and the other two breathable zones 111 are located, for example, in the lower region of the front side portion 110. The shapes of the various breathable zones 111 can be substantially the same or different. In this embodiment, the various breathable zones 111 can be substantially trapezoidal, or substantially circular, elliptical, or rectangular, etc.

[0178] The non-breathable area 1120 has a spacer 1121 located between each pair of adjacent breathable areas 111, thereby separating the four breathable areas 111 from each other. The spacers 1121 are generally arranged in a "+" shape, and the spacers 1121 are provided with a support structure to form a reinforcing area 112. In addition to being distributed in the reinforcing area 112, the support structure may also be at least partially extended in the holding area 1120a. The distribution position, material, and molding method of the support structure can be found in the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0179] See also Figure 10 The fixing mechanism 300 includes a fixing strap 310. When the fixing mechanism 300 is in use, at least a portion of the front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 covers the area with a support structure in the front section 110. The front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 includes a first section 3111 and a second section 3112. The first section 3111 covers the area with a support structure in the non-breathable area 1120, and the second section 3112 covers the breathable area 111. The area S1 of the first section 3111 is larger than the area S2 of the second section 3112. The ratio S1 / S of the area S1 of the first section 3111 to the area S of the front section 311 is 0.6 to 0.8, that is, greater than or equal to 0.6 and less than or equal to 0.8.

[0180] Example 5

[0181] Figure 11 A front view of a support device 1000 provided according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the fixing mechanism 300 is in use.

[0182] like Figure 11As shown, the support device 1000 includes a body 100, a base 200, and a fixing mechanism 300. The body 100 forms the top 150 and four sides of the support device 1000. Specifically, the four sides include a front side 110, a rear side 120 (see...). Figure 2 The left side portion 130 and the right side portion 140 are also described. The base 200, fixing mechanism 300, etc., can be referred to in the first embodiment described above, and will not be repeated here. The support device 1000 in this embodiment differs from the support device 1000 in the fourth embodiment described above in at least the following ways.

[0183] See Figure 11 The front side portion 110 is provided with four ventilation zones 111 spaced apart from each other. One ventilation zone 111 is located, for example, in the upper region of the front side portion 110, one ventilation zone 111 is located, for example, in the lower region of the front side portion 110, and the remaining two ventilation zones 111 are partially located in the upper region and partially located in the lower region. The ventilation zones 111 can be approximately the same in shape, for example, they can be approximately triangular. The spacers 1121 are generally arranged in an "X" shape, and the spacers 1121 are provided with support structures to form at least a portion of the reinforcing zone 112.

[0184] See Figure 11 When the fixing mechanism 300 is in use, at least a portion of the front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 covers the area with a support structure in the front section 110. The front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 includes a first section 3111 and a second section 3112. The first section 3111 covers the area with a support structure in the non-breathable area 1120, and the second section 3112 covers the breathable area 111. The area S1 of the first section 3111 is larger than the area S2 of the second section 3112. The ratio S1 / S of the area S1 of the first section 3111 to the area S of the front section 311 is 0.7 to 0.9, that is, greater than or equal to 0.7 and less than or equal to 0.9.

[0185] Example 6

[0186] Figure 12 A front view of a support device 1000 provided according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the fixing mechanism 300 is in use.

[0187] like Figure 12 As shown, the support device 1000 includes a body 100, a base 200, and a fixing mechanism 300. The body 100 forms the top 150 and four sides of the support device 1000. Specifically, the four sides include a front side 110, a rear side 120 (see...). Figure 2 The left side portion 130 and the right side portion 140. The support device 1000 of this embodiment differs from the support device 1000 of the first embodiment described above in at least the following ways.

[0188] See Figure 12 The front side portion 110 has a lower region below its horizontal centerline M and an upper region above its horizontal centerline M. The lower region of the front side portion 110 is entirely a non-breathable area 1120, and the area S of the region with the supporting structure within the lower region... d1 Area S of the lower region d The ratio is between 0.6 and 1, that is, less than or equal to 0.6 and greater than or equal to 1.

[0189] See also Figure 12 The front side portion 110 also includes a ventilation area 111, which is only provided in the upper region, and no ventilation area 111 is provided in the lower region. The number of ventilation areas 111 can be one or more, such as two or three. The shape of each ventilation area 111 can be, for example, rectangular, or circular, elliptical, triangular, trapezoidal, etc. For example, the upper region is provided with a ventilation area 111, which is located at approximately the middle position of the upper region in the left-right direction, and the reinforcement areas 112 are distributed approximately symmetrically.

[0190] When the fixing mechanism 300 is in use, at least a portion of the front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 covers the area with the support structure in the front section 110. The front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 includes a first section 3111 and a second section 3112. The first section 3111 covers the area with the support structure in the non-breathable area 1120, and the second section 3112 covers the breathable area 111. The area S1 of the first section 3111 is larger than the area S2 of the second section 3112. The ratio S1 / S of the area S1 of the first section 3111 to the area S of the front section 311 is 0.5 to 0.7, that is, greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 0.7.

[0192] Figure 13 A front view of a support device 1000 provided according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the fixing mechanism 300 is in use. The support device 1000 of this embodiment differs from the support device 1000 of the sixth embodiment described above in at least the following ways.

[0193] The front side portion 110 consists entirely of non-breathable areas 1120. In other words, neither the upper nor lower regions of the front side portion 110 have breathable areas 111 (see...). Figure 13The reinforcing area 112 provided on the front side portion 110 can improve the strength of the front side portion 110, reduce or avoid deformation that may occur in the bearing device 1000 during use, thereby effectively protecting the animal inside the bearing device 1000 and improving the safety of the bearing device 1000. More specifically, in this embodiment, both the retaining area 1120a and the reinforcing area 112 of the front side portion 110 are provided with supporting structures, that is, the entire area of ​​the front side portion 110 is provided with supporting structures.

[0194] Example 8

[0195] Figure 14 A front view of a support device 1000 provided according to an eighth embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the fixing mechanism 300 is in use. Figure 14 As shown, the support device 1000 includes a body 100, a base 200, and a fixing mechanism 300. The body 100 forms the top 150 and four sides of the support device 1000. Specifically, the four sides include a front side 110, a rear side 120 (see...). Figure 2 The left side portion 130 and the right side portion 140. The support device 1000 of this embodiment differs from the support device 1000 of the first embodiment described above in at least the following ways.

[0196] See Figure 14 The fixing strap 310 shown in this embodiment is relative to the fixing strap 310. Figure 6 The fixing strap 310 of the first embodiment shown is modified. In one example, the fixing strap 310 of the fixing mechanism 300 includes a separately disposed first fixing strap 310a and a second fixing strap (not shown). In this embodiment, the first end of the second fixing strap is connected to the base 200, similar to... Figure 6The first fixing strap 310a has two second ends, and each of the two second ends is connected to a second connecting assembly 322. The first fixing strap 310a is generally Y-shaped. The first fixing strap 310a has one first end and two second ends. The first end of the first fixing strap 310a is provided with a first connecting assembly 321, and the two second ends of the first fixing strap 310a are respectively connected to the front side portion 110 of the body 100 and form two front end portions 312 (or connecting portions 312). The two front end portions 312 are connected to the front side portion 110. It should be noted that the first fixing strap 310a may extend through the opening of the front side portion 110, and the front end portion 312 of the first fixing strap 310a is the portion of the first fixing strap 310a located at the opening of the front side portion 110; or, the two front ends 312 of the first fixing strap 310a may be fixedly connected to the front side portion 110 (e.g., by fasteners such as stitching or rivets); or, the first fixing strap 310a may be detachably connected to the front side portion 110 by mating components such as buckle assemblies, hook fastener assemblies, snap fastener assemblies, etc. The fixing strap 310 has a front section 311 extending upward from the front end portion 312 and covering the front side portion 110. More specifically, the first fixing strap 310a has a front section 311 extending upward from the front end portion 312 and covering the front side portion 110.

[0197] See also Figure 14 The front portion 110 has a ventilated area 111 located in the lower region, and two front ends 312 are distributed on the left and right sides of the ventilated area 111 in the lower region, respectively. That is, the two front ends 312 are distributed on the outer side of the ventilated area 111 in the lower region (i.e., outside the left and right edges of the ventilated area 111 in the lower region). In this embodiment, the front portion 110 is provided with a first ventilated area 111a and a second ventilated area 111b, with the second ventilated area 111b located approximately above the first ventilated area 111a. The first ventilated area 111a is located in the lower region, and the two front ends 312 are located on the left and right sides of the first ventilated area 111a, respectively. More specifically, the two front ends 312 are connected to the reinforcing area 112. The front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 is approximately inverted V-shaped. When the fixing mechanism 300 is in use, it can reduce or avoid the fixing strap 310 covering the first ventilated area 111a. This not only helps improve the air permeability within the load-bearing device 1000, but also reduces the deformation caused by the fixing strap 310 pressing against the air permeable area, especially reducing the pressure of the fixing strap 310 on the lower area.

[0198] Example 9

[0199] Figure 15A front view of a support device 1000 provided according to a ninth embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the fixing mechanism 300 is in use. The support device 1000 of this embodiment differs from the support device 1000 of the eighth embodiment described above in at least the following ways.

[0200] See Figure 15 Two front end portions 312 are distributed in the height direction above the ventilation area 111 located in the lower region. More specifically, the two front end portions 312 are distributed in the height direction above the first ventilation area 111a. A spacer portion 1121 is provided between the first ventilation area 111a and the second ventilation area 111b, and both front end portions 312 are connected to the spacer portion 1121. The front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 is generally distributed in an inverted V shape.

[0201] When the fixing mechanism 300 is in use, the fixing strap 310 extends upward from the front end 312 and covers the front section 311 of the front side portion 110. Therefore, the fixing strap 310 does not cover the first ventilated area 111a, meaning that the first ventilated area 111a is prevented from being blocked by the fixing strap 310. This helps improve the air permeability within the support device 1000 and reduces the deformation caused by the fixing strap 310 pressing against the ventilated area 111, especially reducing the pressure of the fixing strap 310 on the lower region.

[0202] Example 10

[0203] Figure 16 A front view of a support device 1000 provided according to a tenth embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the fixing mechanism 300 is in use. The support device 1000 of this embodiment differs from the support device 1000 of the eighth embodiment described above in at least the following ways.

[0204] See Figure 16 The front side portion 110 is provided with a first ventilation area 111a and a second ventilation area 111b, with the second ventilation area 111b generally located above the first ventilation area 111a. Two front end portions 312 are distributed on the left and right sides of the first ventilation area 111a in the left-right direction, and are located above the first ventilation area 111a. The two front end portions 312 are also distributed on the left and right sides of the second ventilation area 111b in the left-right direction. The front section 311 of the fixing strap 310 is approximately inverted V-shaped. Thus, when the fixing mechanism 300 is in use, the fixing strap 310 will not cover the first ventilation area 111a, and the area covering the second ventilation area 111b will be reduced. This more effectively reduces or even avoids deformation of the front side portion 110 due to the fixing strap 310 pressing against the ventilation area 111. It should be noted that each of the above embodiments may further include the following features:

[0205] The base 200 of the support device 1000 also has a support structure, and the hardness of the support structure of the base 200 is less than the hardness of the support structure of the body 100. In some embodiments, using Shore hardness (Type C) as the hardness measurement method, the hardness of the support structure of the body 100 is greater than or equal to 70 degrees and less than or equal to 90 degrees. More specifically, the hardness of the support structure of the body 100 is greater than or equal to 75 degrees and less than or equal to 85 degrees, for example, 80 degrees or 82 degrees. In some embodiments, using Shore hardness (Type C) as the hardness measurement method, the hardness of the support structure of the base 200 is greater than or equal to 65 degrees and less than or equal to 80 degrees. More specifically, the hardness of the support structure of the base 200 is greater than or equal to 70 degrees and less than or equal to 80 degrees, for example, 75 degrees or 77 degrees.

[0206] The support structure can be formed by polymer foaming. The support structure can be a microporous foam material, such as the one described above, and can be made of EPP or EVA (in this embodiment, the support structure can be made of EPP, which is lightweight, provides excellent support, and has little odor). In this case, the support structure provides support, protection, and cushioning for the load-bearing device 1000. Of course, in other embodiments, the support structure can also be made of other materials. Furthermore, the support structure of the base 200 and the support structure of the main body can be made of the same material or different materials.

[0207] Furthermore, the thickness of the support structure of the base 200 is less than the thickness of the support structure of the body 100. For example, both the support structure of the base 200 and the support structure of the body 100 are made of EPP material. In some embodiments, the thickness of the support structure of the base 200 is 5 mm, while the thickness of the support structure of the body 100 is 8 mm. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the thickness of the support structure of the base 200 is 2 mm, while the thickness of the support structure of the body 100 is in the range of 4 mm to 5 mm.

[0208] The support device 1000 has at least two connected components. The connection between the at least two connected components forms a connection area 400. At least one of the at least two connected components has a support structure that extends into the connection area 400. The thickness of the support structure in the connection area 400 is less than the thickness of the support structure in the non-connection area 500.

[0209] Specifically, in the embodiments, the support device 1000 of the above embodiments has multiple walls forming a box (i.e., the base 200 and the top 150 and four sides of the body 100 in the embodiments). The at least two components can be at least two connected walls. The connection area 400 includes a first connection area 400a formed at the connection between the at least two connected walls. At least one of the at least two connected walls has a support structure that extends to the first connection area 400a. The thickness of the support structure in the first connection area 400a is less than the thickness of the support structure in the non-connection area 500. In some embodiments, the first connection area 400a is a stitching area, i.e., a location in the wall that needs to be stitched with other structures. A smaller thickness in the first connection area 400a reduces the risk of needle breakage during stitching. For example, a mating assembly is stitched between at least one side and the top 150, mating assemblies are stitched between multiple sides, and a connecting mechanism 101 is sewn between the body 100 and the base 200.

[0210] In the embodiments, please refer to Figure 1-3 and Figure 17A and 17B For the connected front side 110 and top 150, both the front side 110 and top 150 are provided with support structures (such as...). Figure 17A and Figure 17B In the intermediate layer 1129), corresponding to the connection between the front side 110 and the top 150, both the front side 110 and the top 150 are provided with a first connection area 400a. The support structure of the front side 110 and the top 150 extends to the first connection area 400a, and the first connection areas 400a of the front side 110 and the top 150 are connected to each other by a stitching assembly. The thickness of the support structure of the front side 110 in its first connection area 400a is less than the thickness of the support structure in the non-connection area 500. Similarly, for the connected front side 110 and the base 200, a first connection area 400a can also be provided at the connection between them, and the support structures of the front side 110 and the base 200 both extend to the first connection area 400a. Figures 17A to 17B As shown in the simplified cross-sectional view of the front side portion 110, a first connecting area 400a is provided at the upper edge of the front side portion 110, which can be connected to the top 150 via a mating assembly. Furthermore, a first connecting area 400a is provided at the lower edge of the front side portion 110, which can be connected to the base 200 via a connecting mechanism 101.

[0211] In this embodiment, the left side portion 130 (or the right side portion 140, or both the left and right sides 140) may not have a support structure and may be made of fabric directly. Then, for the connected front portion 110 and the left side portion 130 (or the right side portion 140, or both the left and right sides 140), a first connection area (not shown) is formed at the connection point. The front portion 110 has a support structure, while the left side portion 130 (or the right side portion 140, or both the left and right sides 140) does not. The support structure of the front portion 110 extends to this first connection area. The first connection areas at these locations can be referenced... Figure 17A or Figure 17B The first connection region 400a shown will not be described in detail again.

[0212] Similarly, the first connecting area (not shown) of the rear side 120 is similar in distribution to the first connecting area 400a of the front side 110. The rear side 120 also has first connecting areas corresponding to the connection between the rear side 120 and the top 150, the connection between the rear side 120 and the left side 130, the connection between the rear side 120 and the right side 140, and the connection between the rear side 120 and the base 200. The support structure of the rear side 120 extends to its first connecting area, and the thickness of the support structure in the first connecting area of ​​the rear side 120 is less than the thickness of the support structure in its non-connecting areas.

[0213] Furthermore, the first connection area is located at the edge of the corresponding wall. For example, as Figure 17A or Figure 17B As shown, the first connecting area 400a of the front side portion 110 is located at the edge of the front side portion 110, and more specifically, the first connecting area 400a of the front side portion 110 extends along the overall frame edge of the front side portion 110.

[0214] Specifically, in the embodiments, the front side 110 of the support device 1000 as described in the above embodiments has a non-breathable area 1120 and a breathable area 111. The breathable area 111 has a window and a sealing member 102 covering the window. The non-breathable area 1120 has a support structure. The at least two components can be the connected non-breathable area 1120 and the sealing member 102. The connecting area 400 includes a second connecting area 400b formed at the connection between the non-breathable area 1120 and the sealing member 102. The support structure of the non-breathable area 1120 extends to the second connecting area 400b. Figure 17A or Figure 17BAs shown, the thickness of the support structure of the front side portion 110 in the second connection area 400b is less than the thickness of the support structure in the non-connection area 500. More specifically, the second connection area 400b is arranged around the edge of the window. For example, in the first embodiment, the window is generally rectangular, and the second connection area 400b of the front side portion 110 extends along the rectangular edge of the window. In some embodiments, the second connection area 400b is also a stitching area, and the covering can be connected to the non-breathable area 1120 by stitching. The smaller thickness of the second connection area 400b can reduce the risk of needle breakage during stitching.

[0215] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the connecting area 400 may not be a stitched area. When two components are connected, the thickness of the connecting area 400 may increase due to the combined thickness of the two components. Making the thickness of the connecting area 400 less than the thickness of the non-connecting area 500 avoids excessive thickness at the connecting area, resulting in a cleaner appearance. Of course, when two components are connected by stitching, reducing the thickness of the connecting area can further reduce the risk of needle breakage during stitching.

[0216] It should be noted that when the support structure is a foam, the foam of the first connecting area 400a and / or the second connecting area 400b of the corresponding wall can be squeezed multiple times or the squeezing force can be increased, thereby reducing the thickness of the first connecting area 400a and / or the second connecting area 400b. Figure 17A In one embodiment shown, after the mold squeezes the first connecting area 400a and the second connecting area 400b on the front side from both sides, the inner and outer sides of the first connecting area 400a and the second connecting area 400b are both concave, and the thickness of the first connecting area 400a and the second connecting area 400b becomes thinner. Figure 17B Another embodiment shown is that after the mold extrudes the first connecting area 400a and the second connecting area 400b on the front side from the inside, the inner sides of the first connecting area 400a and the second connecting area 400b are concave, the thickness of the first connecting area 400a and the second connecting area 400b becomes thinner, and the outer sides of the first connecting area 400a and the second connecting area 400b maintain a generally smooth extension with the outer side of the non-connecting area 500, making the appearance more aesthetically pleasing. Of course, in some embodiments, after the mold extrudes the first connecting area 400a and the second connecting area 400b on the front side from the outside, the outer sides of the first connecting area 400a and the second connecting area 400b are concave, the thickness of the first connecting area 400a and the second connecting area 400b becomes thinner, and the inner sides of the first connecting area 400a and the second connecting area 400b maintain a generally smooth extension with the inner side of the non-connecting area 500; this is not limited here.

[0217] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first connection area and the second connection area can be greater than or equal to 2 mm and less than or equal to 3 mm, and the thickness of the first connection area and the second connection area can be the same or different. The thickness of the first connection area at different locations can be the same or different, and the thickness of the second connection area at different locations can be the same or different, which is not limited here.

[0218] In some embodiments, for ease of production and to simplify the manufacturing process, the support structure of the body and the support structure of the base can be derived from foam of the same density (e.g., from a material with a density of 0.09 g / cm³). 3 (The EPP foam). After the overall fabrication is completed, the density of the foam in the support structure of the body 100 may change; for example, the density of the support structure of the body 100 may become 0.13 g / cm³. 3 Up to 0.19 g / cm 3 Within this range, more specifically, for example, the density of the support structure of body 100 is 0.144 g / cm³. 3 Or 0.18g / cm 3 The density of the foam in the support structure of base 200 may also change; for example, the density of the support structure of base 200 may become 0.14 g / cm³. 3 Up to 0.23 g / cm 3 Within this range, for example, the density of the support structure of base 200 is 0.15 g / cm³. 3 Or 0.225g / cm 3 .

[0219] The above features can be combined with any of the first to tenth embodiments described above. This configuration allows the body 100 to have sufficient rigidity to protect the animal located in the bearing space 103, while also reducing the material cost or weight of the base 200.

[0220] Example 11

[0221] This invention provides a carrier 1000X. The carrier 1000X can be, but is not limited to, a sleeping box, pet carrier, pet basket, pet sling, etc. The carrier 1000X can be fixed to a car seat or stroller frame for use, or it can be carried by hand (e.g., carried by hand, slung over the shoulder, etc.).

[0222] See Figures 18 to 20 , Figures 18 to 20 Perspective views of the vehicle 1000X according to the present invention are shown from different angles.

[0223] The carrier 1000X includes a main body 100X and a base 200X, which together form the enclosure of the carrier 1000X. The main body 100X constitutes the four sides and top 150X of the enclosure, while the base 200X forms the bottom. The main body 100X is located above the base 200X and is detachably connected to the base 200X to form a space for holding a pet. The four sides include a front side 110X, a rear side 120X, a left side 130X, and a right side 140X. The width of the front side 110X and the rear side 120X may be greater than the width of the left side 130X and the right side 140X.

[0224] In this embodiment of the invention, the body 100X can be detachably connected to the base 200X via a plurality of first connecting mechanisms 101X. These plurality of first connecting mechanisms 101X are distributed at different positions along the circumference of the carrier 1000X. In one example, such as... Figures 18 to 22 As shown, the vehicle 1000X may have an even number of first connecting mechanisms 101X, and at least some of the first connecting mechanisms 101X are symmetrically arranged. In this way, when the vehicle 1000X is pulled by an external force, the symmetrically arranged first connecting mechanisms 101X can effectively resist the pulling force and prevent the body 100X from separating from the base 200X. In one example, the vehicle 1000X has six first connecting mechanisms 101X, which are symmetrically located in pairs on the circumference of the vehicle. Specifically, they are located at the four corners of the vehicle 1000X and the midpoints of the two wider sides (i.e., the front side 110X and the rear side 120X), and they are connected between the body 100X and the base 200X. However, in other examples, the number and distribution of the first connecting mechanisms 101X can vary considerably. For instance, four first connecting mechanisms 101X can be distributed at the center of the four sides, or an odd number of first connecting mechanisms 101X can be provided. This odd number of first connecting mechanisms 101X can include at least one pair of symmetrically arranged first connecting mechanisms 101X, or they can be arranged completely asymmetrically. This invention is not limited to these limitations. For example, Figure 21 As shown, each first connecting mechanism 101X may include a first connecting member 1011X disposed on the body 100X and a second connecting member 1012X disposed on the base 200X at a position corresponding to the first connecting member 1011X. Each pair of corresponding connecting members 1131, 1132 has a detachable structure that cooperates with each other. This detachable structure can be a structure that facilitates quick disassembly, thereby facilitating the purpose of quick disassembly. In the example shown in the figure, the detachable structure is a magnetic structure. However, in other examples, the detachable structure may also be other structures that facilitate disassembly, such as a snap-fit ​​structure, a sliding snap structure, Velcro, a hook and loop structure, etc. Specifically, see the figure. Figure 21The first connector 1011X includes a first connecting buckle 10111X and a first connecting strap 10112X. The first connecting buckle 10111X is connected to the outer wall of the body 100X via the first connecting strap 10112X. That is, one end of the first connecting strap 10112X is connected to the outer wall of the body 100X, and the other end is connected to the first connecting buckle 10111X. The second connector 1012X includes a second connecting buckle 10121X and a second connecting strap 10122X. The second connecting buckle 10121X is connected to the outer wall of the base 200X at a position corresponding to the first connecting buckle 10111X via the second connecting strap 10122X. That is, one end of the second connecting strap 10122X is connected to the outer wall of the body 100X at a position corresponding to the first connecting buckle 10111X, and the other end is connected to the second connecting buckle 10121X. The first connecting band 10112X and the second connecting band 10122X can be flexible bands, such as woven fabric bands or leather bands. Figure 21 In the example shown, the first connecting buckle 10111X is connected to the outer wall of the body 100X via two first connecting straps 10112X located at both ends (e.g., the upper and lower ends) of the first connecting buckle 10111X. The two first connecting straps 10112X are relatively short, thereby allowing the first connecting buckle 10111X to adhere to the outer wall of the body 100X and be immovably fixed to the outer wall of the body 100X relative to the body 100X. In the assembled state, the bottom edge of the first connecting buckle 10111X may be higher than the top edge of the base 200X (e.g., the top edge of the perimeter 202X described below) to avoid interference between the first connecting buckle 10111X and the base 200X. The second connecting buckle 10121X is connected to the outer wall of the base 200X via a second connecting strap 10122X located at only one end (e.g., the lower end) of the second connecting buckle 10121X, while the other end of the second connecting buckle 10121X opposite to the second connecting strap 10122X is a free end; the second connecting strap 10122X has a certain length (e.g., longer than the first connecting strap 10112X), so that the second connecting buckle 10121X can have a certain amount of movement relative to the base 200X to facilitate quick disassembly or engagement between the first connecting buckle 10111X and the second connecting buckle 10121X. In some embodiments, see Figure 25 The first connecting buckle 10111X can be movably connected to the outer wall of the body 100X via a first connecting strap 10112X at only one end, and the second connecting buckle 10121X can be nonmovably fixed to the outer wall of the base 200X via two second connecting straps 10122X at both ends. See also the following embodiments: Figure 26The first connecting buckle 10111X can be movably connected to the outer wall of the body 100X via a first connecting strap 10112X at only one end, and the second connecting buckle 10121X can be movably connected to the outer wall of the base 200X via a second connecting strap 10122X at only one end, so that both connecting buckles 10111 and 10121 have a certain degree of mobility. In some embodiments, one or both of the first connecting strap 10112X and the second connecting strap 10122X can be omitted, and the first connecting buckle 10111X and / or the second connecting buckle 10121X can be directly and immovably fixed to the body 100X / base 200X (e.g., using adhesive, stitching, or fixing pins). In the example shown in the above figure, both the first connecting buckle 10111X and the second connecting buckle 10121X are magnetic buckles, so that... Figure 21 For example, each of them has magnetic attraction portions 10111aX and 10121aX. When the magnetic attraction portions 10111aX and 10121aX of the first connecting buckle 10111X and the second connecting buckle 10121X are opposite and close to each other, the magnetic attraction portions 10111aX and 10121aX of the two are attracted together, thereby realizing the engagement of the two. It can be understood that the pair of magnetic attraction portions 10111aX and 10121aX of each pair of connectors 1131 and 1132 can be the protrusion of the male buckle and the concave part of the female buckle, or they can both be flat structures. In each pair of magnetic attraction portions 10111aX and 10121aX of each pair of connectors 1131 and 1132, both can be magnets, or one can be a magnet and the other can be a magnetically attracted metal (such as iron). In other examples, the first connecting buckle 10111X and the second connecting buckle 10121X can also be other types of connecting buckles, such as plug buckles, adhesive buckles, and D-ring buckles.

[0225] The top 150X and four sides can be made of materials with a certain load-bearing capacity to maintain their proper shape during use. For example, the outer layer of the top 150X and four sides can be covered with fabric and / or leather to provide a soft touch and enhance user comfort. The interior of the top 150X and four sides can be fitted with or filled with support structures such as plastic sheets or frames, metal sheets or frames, cardboard, foam materials (e.g., EPP or EVA) to maintain their proper shape during use, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0226] The top 150X, left side 130X, and right side 140X can be fixedly connected to form a single integrated structure. The front side 110X and rear side 120X are respectively located on both sides of this integrated structure. In some embodiments, each of the front side 110X and rear side 120X can be detachably connected to the integrated structure, fixedly connected, or partially detachably and partially fixedly connected. Figure 18In the example shown, each of the front side portion 110X and the rear side portion 120X can be partially detachably connected to the integral structure via the second connecting mechanism 102X, and partially fixedly connected (e.g., non-detachably connected) to the integral structure. Wherein, in Figure 18 In the example shown, the second connecting mechanism 102X is a zipper structure, but it can also be other detachable structures such as a snap-fit ​​structure, a sliding snap structure, a Velcro structure, or a hook and loop structure. Specifically, regarding the connection method between the front side portion 110X and the integrated structure: a second connecting mechanism 102X can be provided between the front side portion 110X and the integrated structure. This second connecting mechanism 102X can extend along the entire length of the boundary between the front side portion 110X and the top portion 150X, and further extend on the upper half of the boundary between the front side portion 110X and the left side portion 130X and the right side portion 140, so that the upper half of the front side portion 110X can be separated from the upper half of the integrated structure (including the top portion 150X, and the upper half of the left side portion 130X and the right side portion 140) via the second connecting mechanism 102X; and the two are fixedly connected (e.g., via) at the lower half of the boundary between the front side portion 110X and the left side portion 130X and the right side portion 140. Figure 18 The connecting piece 103X shown is used for connection, or by stitching or integral molding, to make the structure of the carrier 1000X more stable and less prone to falling apart. The connection method between the rear side 120X and the integral structure can be the same as the connection method between the front side 110X and the integral structure (mirror symmetrical with respect to the integral structure), so it will not be described again. In some embodiments, the left side 130X and the right side 140 have flexible structures (i.e., bendable), so that after the upper half of the front side 110X and the rear side 120X are separated from the upper half of the integral structure, the integral structure can be at least partially folded downward into the accommodating space relative to the front side 110X and the rear side 120X by the flexible structure of the left side 130X and the right side 140.

[0227] In some embodiments, a handle 151X may be provided on the upper surface of the top 150X, for example at the center of the upper surface of the top 150X, for lifting the carrier 1000X. In one example, the handle 151X may be a flexible woven fabric strap or a leather strap. Optionally or alternatively, the handle 151X may also be made of rigid plastic.

[0228] In some embodiments, see Figures 18 to 20 One or more windows may be provided on one or more sides of the main body 100X to allow observation of the pet inside the vehicle 1000X, facilitate ventilation, and / or provide openings for the pet to enter and exit the vehicle 1000X.

[0229] For example, see Figure 18 and Figure 19 The front side portion 110X may have multiple vertically distributed first windows 111X, and each first window 111X may have a first sealing element 111aX covering it. The rear side portion 120X may have a second window 121X, and the second window 121X may have a second sealing element 121aX covering it. The second window 121X may be larger than the first window 111X; for example, the area of ​​the second window 121X may cover most of the area of ​​the rear side portion 120X. Figure 18 and Figure 19 In the example shown, the first sealing element 111aX is fixedly connected to the first window 111X, and the second sealing element 121aX is fixedly connected to the second window 121X. That is, the first window 111X and the second window 121X cannot be opened. However, this disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the second sealing element 121aX can also be detachably connected to the second window 121X (e.g., via a zipper or other detachable structure), thereby allowing a pet to enter and exit the accommodating space through the opened second window 121X. The first sealing element 111aX and the second sealing element 121aX can be curtains, which can have transparent and / or breathable materials. For example, the first sealing element 111aX and the second sealing element 121aX can be mesh fabric.

[0230] See Figure 19 and Figure 20 Third windows 131X and 141X may be respectively provided on the left side portion 130X and the right side portion 140, and third sealing members 131aX and 141aX covering the third windows 131X and 141X are provided. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the third sealing members 131aX and 141aX is detachably connected to the third windows 131X and 141X via a third connecting mechanism 104X to allow the third sealing members 131aX and 141aX to be opened. For example, the top side of the third sealing members 131aX and 141aX is fixedly connected to the top edge of the third windows 131X and 141X, while the left and right sides and bottom side of the third sealing members 131aX and 141aX can be detachably connected to the left and right edges and bottom edge of the third windows 131X and 141X, allowing the third sealing members 131aX and 141aX to be folded upwards to open the third windows 131X and 141X, thereby allowing pets to enter and exit the accommodation space through the opened third windows 131X and 141X. The third sealing members 131aX and 141aX can be curtains, which can have transparent and / or breathable materials, for example, the third sealing members 131aX and 141aX can be mesh fabric.

[0231] See Figures 21 to 23 , Figure 21 Schematic illustration Figure 18The image shows a 3D view of vehicle 1000X, with the main body 100X and base 200X separated. Figure 22 A perspective view of a support plate 220X in an example base 200X is shown schematically. Figure 23 Schematic illustration Figure 18 A bottom view of the 1000X vehicle's base 200X.

[0232] In embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 21 and Figure 23 As shown, the base 200X may include a generally horizontally extending base plate 201X. The base plate 201X has a top surface 201aX and a bottom surface 201bX. The base plate 201X (e.g., the top surface 201aX) may have a shape that conforms to the bottom opening of the body 100X (i.e., the opening formed by the bottom edges of the four sides), for example, substantially the same shape as or slightly larger than the bottom opening, such that when the body 100X is mounted on the base 200X, the base plate 201X can cover and close the bottom opening of the body 100X, and the bottom edges of the four sides of the body 100X can be rested on the base plate 201X (e.g., the top surface 201aX).

[0233] In some cases, if only the first connecting mechanism 101X is used to connect the body 100X and the base 200X, slippage or loosening may easily occur between the body 100X and the base 200X. In this embodiment of the invention, to improve the stability of the connection between the body 100X and the base 200X, such as... Figure 21 As shown, the base 200X may also include a perimeter 202X connected to the edge of the base plate 201X. The perimeter 202X may extend substantially in the height direction and the circumferential direction. Specifically, in the height direction (corresponding to the width of the perimeter 202X), the perimeter 202X extends upward from the edge of the base plate 201X (e.g., the edge of the top surface 201aX). In the circumferential direction (corresponding to the length of the perimeter 202X), the perimeter 202X may extend at least partially circumferentially along the edge of the base plate 201X (e.g., the edge of the top surface 201aX), for example, it may extend around the entire edge of the base plate 201X.

[0234] The inner diameter of the edging 202X can be substantially equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter at the bottom edges of the four sides of the body 100X, so that when the body 100X is mounted on the base 200X, the edging 202X fits around and wraps around the outer side of the bottom ends of the four sides of the body 100X, that is, the bottom ends of the sides of the body 100X are covered by the inner side of the edging 202X. The inner side of the edging 202X can provide radial support to the sidewall of the body 100X to position the body 100X in the appropriate position at the upper radial limit. With the connection of the multiple first connecting mechanisms 101X between the body 100X and the base 200X, a relatively stable installation can be formed between the body 100X and the base 200X, reducing or preventing the body 100X from shifting or loosening from the base 200X. Among them, the edge 202X may have a certain height relative to the top surface 201aX of the base plate 201X, that is, the top edge of the edge 202X and the top surface 201aX are a certain distance apart in the height direction, so as to further prevent the lower end of the body 100X from deviating or loosening from the edge 202X.

[0235] In some related technologies, the bottom edge of the body can have a structure that inserts into a recessed groove on the base, thereby creating a tighter connection between the body and the base. However, with this method, when it is necessary to disassemble or join the body and the base, the user may need to spend more time or attention to properly disassemble or join them. In the above embodiment of the present invention, unlike this, the body 100X can be positioned by a surrounding edge 202X sleeved on the outer side of the lower end of the body 100X, thus facilitating quick disassembly or joining of the body 100X and the base 200X. More specifically, as... Figure 21 As shown, the top surface 201aX is generally flat in at least the relative regions R1 (shown in dashed boxes in the figure) opposite the bottom edges of the four sides of the body 100X (for example, in...). Figure 21 In the middle, the entire top surface 201aX is generally flat, so that when the body 100X is installed on the base 200X, the bottom edges of the four sides of the body 100X can be placed directly on the flat opposite area R1 instead of being inserted into the groove, so as to further facilitate the quick disassembly or assembly of the body 100X and the base 200X.

[0236] In the base 200X, the aforementioned base plate 201X and perimeter 202X can be formed in different ways. For example, see [reference needed] in a specific example. Figure 21 and Figure 22As shown, the base 200X may include a seat cover 210X, a support plate 220X, and a base housing 230X. The support plate 220X may be mounted on top of the base housing 230X. The seat cover 210X may include a pad 2101X covering the upper surface of the support plate 220X, the upper surface of which forms the top surface 201aX of the base plate 201X. The support plate 220X and the base housing 230X may be made of rigid materials such as plastic. The support plate 220X provides stable support for the pad 2101X, allowing the pet in the accommodating space to sit stably on the pad 2101X. In some embodiments, a cushioning pad (not shown) may be sandwiched between the support plate 220X and the pad 2101X to improve the pet's comfort. The seat cover 210X may also include a side panel 2102X. The side panel 2102X may extend generally in the height and circumferential directions. In the circumferential direction (corresponding to the length of the edging fabric 2102X), the edging fabric 2102X can extend circumferentially around the edge of the base plate 201X (at least around the edge of the pad fabric 2101X, and also around the edge of the support plate 220X and / or the base housing 230X). In the height direction (corresponding to the width of the edging fabric 2102X), the top edge of the edging fabric 2102X is higher than the upper surface of the pad fabric 2101X, and the bottom edge of the edging fabric 2102X can be lower than or equal to the upper surface of the pad fabric 2101X. The bottom edge of the edging fabric 2102X can be fixed to the edge of the base plate 201X. For example, the bottom edge of the edging fabric 2102X is fixedly connected to the side fabric wrapped around the outside of the support plate 220X and / or the base housing 230X by sewing or forming integrally, and extends upward from the side fabric. The edging fabric 2102X at least partially forms the aforementioned edging 202X. The edging fabric 2102X may be filled with a supporting structure, such as a plastic sheet or frame, a metal sheet or frame, cardboard, foam material, etc., so that it can maintain its proper shape during use. In some embodiments, such as Figure 22 As shown, the circumferential edge of the support plate 220X may also have an upwardly extending protrusion 2201X, which may at least partially extend into the edging fabric 2102X to enhance the stability of the edging fabric 2102X. The seat fabric 210X may at least partially expose the lower surface of the base shell 230X, thereby forming the bottom surface 201bX of the base plate 201X. In other words, the pad fabric 2101X, the support plate 220X, and the base shell 230X may together form the aforementioned base plate 201X. The invention is not limited thereto; the base 200X may have other different structures, as long as it generally has the structure of the aforementioned base plate 201X and edging fabric 202X.

[0237] In some embodiments, a plurality of handles 203X may be distributed on the bottom surface (e.g., the bottom surface 201bX of the base 200X) and / or the side walls (e.g., the outer side wall of the edging 202X) of the base 200X to facilitate moving the carrier 1000X. Figure 23 In the example shown, four handles 203X can be provided at the four corners of the bottom surface 201bX of the base plate 201X. In other examples, there can be more or fewer handles 203X, and the distribution of the handles 203X can be varied. For example, two handles 203X can be provided at both ends of the bottom surface 201bX of the base plate 201X.

[0238] In some embodiments, one or more connecting portions (not shown) may be provided on the bottom surface 201bX of the base plate 201X for mounting the carrier 1000X to a trolley, vehicle seat or other device.

[0239] In some embodiments, the bottom edges of the windows on each side of the body 100X (e.g., the bottom edges of the first window 111X, the second window 121X, the third window 131X, and the third window 141X) are spaced a certain distance from the bottom edges of the sides of the body 100X, such that when the body 100X is mounted in the base 200X, the bottom edges of the windows on the sides of the body 100X are not lower than (higher than or equal to) the top edge of the perimeter 202X, so as to avoid the perimeter 202X from obscuring the windows.

[0240] Example 12

[0241] like Figure 27 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a pet carrier 10Y, which includes a base 100Y, a housing 200Y, and a padding assembly 300Y. The base 100Y and the housing 200Y are detachably connected to form a accommodating space 150Y for holding a pet. The padding assembly 300Y is mounted on the base 100Y to provide support and cushioning for the pet, and can be used in conjunction with the base 100Y to allow the pet carrier 10Y to have multiple usage modes.

[0242] Specifically, such as Figure 29 and Figure 30 As shown, the base 100Y may specifically include a support body 110Y, a mounting baffle 120Y, and a lifting ring 130Y. The support body 110Y may be, for example, a generally rectangular flat structure, with rounded corners at the four apex of the base 100Y. Of course, in other embodiments, the base 100Y may also be of other shapes, such as a circle, a square, or a rectangle with a different aspect ratio than in this embodiment. The mounting baffle 120Y is disposed on the side edge of the support body 110Y.

[0243] like Figure 29and Figure 30 As shown, the installation fence 120Y can be switched between a folded state and an extended state. When the installation fence 120Y is in the folded state, as... Figure 29 As shown, the installation enclosure 120Y is attached to the supporting body 110Y; when the installation enclosure 120Y is in the unfolded state, as... Figure 30 As shown, the installation enclosure 120Y is approximately perpendicular to the supporting body 110Y, meaning the installation enclosure 120Y can stand upright relative to the supporting body 110Y along the inner surface of the housing 200Y. Specifically, the installation enclosure 120Y includes multiple support plates 121Y disposed on the outer edge of the supporting body 110Y and flexible edging 122Y connecting each adjacent pair of support plates 121Y. In this embodiment, there are four support plates 121Y, each connected to one of the four side edges of the supporting body 110Y. In other embodiments, the number and position of the support plates 121Y can be adjusted as needed; for example, two or three support plates 121Y can be disposed on each side edge of the supporting body 110Y. In this embodiment, the support plates 121Y are polyethylene (PE) plates; in other embodiments, the support plates 121Y can also be made of other materials such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS). The flexible edging 122Y can be made of polyester fabric or other soft fabrics. In an embodiment not shown, a ring-shaped flexible edging 122Y can be directly provided on the outer edge of the supporting body 110Y. The flexible edging 122Y has a sleeve cavity (not shown) arranged along its extension direction, and multiple support plates 121Y are spaced apart in the sleeve cavity, that is, the flexible edging 122Y is sleeved on the multiple support plates 121Y. Of course, the support plates 121Y and the flexible edging 122Y can also have other various arrangements, as long as they can enable the mounting enclosure 120Y to have a folded state and an unfolded state relative to the base 100Y.

[0244] Furthermore, such as Figure 29 and Figure 30As shown, at least one connecting portion 111Y may be provided at intervals on the supporting body 110Y or the mounting enclosure 120Y. One, two, or more ends of a restraint strap (not shown in the figure) for restraining a pet can be connected to one, two, or more connecting portions 111Y to restrain the pet within the accommodating space, thereby ensuring the pet's safety within the pet carrying device 10Y. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 111Y includes a webbing 1111Y and a connecting ring 1112Y. One end of the webbing 1111Y is sewn and fixed to the supporting body 110Y or the mounting enclosure 120Y, and the other end of the webbing 1111Y is sewn and fixed to the connecting ring 1112Y. The end of the restraint strap can be connected to the connecting ring 1112Y. There are two connecting portions 111Y, which are generally located near the diagonally opposite apex corners of the supporting body 110Y. In other embodiments, the number and location of the connecting portions 111Y can also be adjusted as needed. For example, there can be four connecting parts 111Y, which are roughly located near the four apex corners of the supporting body 110Y. The two ends of the two binding straps are respectively connected to two diagonally opposite connecting rings 1112Y, that is, the two binding straps are arranged in a cross shape.

[0245] like Figure 30 and Figure 31 As shown, the outer edge of the base 100Y is provided with multiple lifting rings 130Y at intervals to facilitate the user in lifting the pet carrier 10Y. In this embodiment, there are four lifting rings 130Y, which are respectively located at the four top corners of the base 100Y. Of course, in other embodiments, the number and arrangement of the lifting rings 130Y can be adjusted as needed. For example, there can be four lifting rings 130Y, each located at the midpoint of one of the four sides of the base 100Y. In this embodiment, the lifting rings 130Y are made of artificial leather and are fixed to the top corners of the base 100Y by stitching, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments, the lifting rings 130Y can also be made of metal, or the lifting rings 130Y can also be fixed to the base 100Y by fasteners such as rivets.

[0246] Specifically, such as Figure 27 As shown, the box body 200Y is generally a box-shaped structure with an open bottom. The edge of the bottom opening 210Y of the box body 200Y is detachably connected to the outer edge of the supporting body 110Y of the base 100Y to form a holding space 150Y for accommodating a pet. In this embodiment, the top of the box body 200Y may be provided with a handle 220Y for lifting the pet carrying device 10Y, and the sides of the box body 200Y may be provided with one or more windows 230Y sealed by a sealing element 240Y such as mesh fabric, which communicate with the holding space 150Y. This arrangement facilitates air circulation within the holding space 150Y. In this embodiment, at least one sealing element 240Y can be opened to allow the pet to enter and exit the holding space 150Y. In this embodiment, as... Figure 27As shown, the outer edge of the supporting body 110Y of the base 100Y is provided with a first connector 140Y, and the edge of the bottom opening 210Y of the housing 200Y is provided with a second connector 250Y that can be detachably engaged with the first connector 140Y. The base 100Y and the housing 200Y are detachably engaged through the first connector 140Y and the second connector 250Y. In this embodiment, the first connector 140Y and the second connector 250Y are a first zipper and a second zipper that can cooperate with each other. In other embodiments, such as... Figure 28 As shown, the first connector 140Y and the second connector 250Y can also be a first fastener and a second fastener that can cooperate with each other. For example, the first fastener and the second fastener can be magnetic snaps that can attract each other. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, as long as the first connector 140Y and the second connector 250Y can achieve a detachable fit.

[0247] Furthermore, since the outer edge of the supporting body 110Y is provided with a mounting bracket 120Y, when it is necessary to connect the housing 200Y to the base 100Y, the mounting bracket 120Y can be in an unfolded state, approximately perpendicular to the supporting body 110Y. At this time, the housing 200Y is placed on the supporting body 110Y with its opening facing downwards, and the housing 200Y is fitted over the mounting bracket 120Y. The mounting bracket 120Y stands upright relative to the supporting body 110Y along the inner surface of the housing 200Y, allowing the first connecting member 140Y and the second connecting member 250Y to connect. The mounting bracket 120Y at this time plays a certain positioning role in the installation of the housing 200Y, ensuring that the housing 200Y is placed in the correct position before connecting to the supporting body 110Y, making the connection process more convenient. Of course, even if the base 100Y is separated from the housing 200Y, the installation enclosure 120Y in the installation state can still form an installation space 123Y for installing the padding assembly 300Y, and provide a certain limiting and protection function for the padding assembly 300Y.

[0248] Specifically, such as Figures 32 to 34 As shown, the padding assembly 300Y includes a padding body 310Y and a padding sleeve 320Y fitted over the padding body 310Y. The padding body 310Y and the supporting body 110Y are flat structures with approximately the same shape and size. In this embodiment, the padding body 310Y can be made of foam, or it can be made of polyethylene (PE) board and foam to provide some support and cushioning for the pet, improving the pet's riding comfort. Figure 36As shown, one side of the padding body 310Y (denoted as the back side B of the padding body 310Y) is provided with a mounting ring edge 311Y, and the inner edge of the mounting ring edge 311Y is provided with an elastic binding edge 312Y. The elastic binding edge 312Y can be formed, for example, by sewing a strip of elastic fabric with a circumference slightly smaller than the circumference of the elastic binding edge 312Y around the inner edge of the mounting ring edge 311Y. The padding body 310Y can be fitted over the supporting body 110Y through this elastic binding edge 312Y (see below for details). In this embodiment, as... Figure 35 As shown, the other side of the pad body 310Y is referred to as the front A of the pad body 310Y. When the pad body 310Y is fitted onto the support body 110Y through the elastic edge 312Y, the front A of the pad body 310Y faces upwards, allowing the pet to lie down.

[0249] like Figure 34 and Figure 35 As shown, the padding sleeve 320Y has a structure similar to a fitted sheet, and its cross-sectional shape is approximately the same as that of the supporting body 110Y. The padding sleeve 320Y has a mounting cavity 321Y and a mounting opening 322Y communicating with the mounting cavity 321Y. The mounting opening 322Y is a rectangular opening smaller than the padding body 310Y, located on one side of the padding sleeve 320Y (denoted as the back side D of the padding sleeve 320Y), and a limiting edge 323Y is formed at the edge of the mounting opening 322Y. The padding body 310Y can enter and exit the mounting cavity 321Y through the mounting opening 322Y. After the padding body 310Y is installed in the mounting cavity 321Y, because the size of the mounting opening 322Y is smaller than the size of the padding body 310Y, the limiting edge 323Y can confine the padding body 310Y within the mounting cavity 321Y. In this embodiment, the pad body 310Y is made of foam. When installed in the mounting cavity 321Y, the pad body 310Y can be folded and deformed before being inserted into the mounting cavity 321Y. In other embodiments, if the pad body 310Y is made of, for example, polyethylene (PE) board and foam, and the pad body 310Y itself is inconvenient to fold, the limiting edge 323Y can be set as a certain elastic edge. In this way, when the pad body 310Y is installed in the mounting cavity 321Y, the limiting edge 323Y can first undergo a certain elastic deformation to install the pad body 310Y into the mounting cavity 321Y. The pad sleeve 320Y can provide a certain degree of protection for the pad body 310Y to prevent the pad body 310Y from being soiled or torn by pets. Furthermore, the pad sleeve 320Y is detachably fitted over the pad body 310Y, so that even if the pad sleeve 320Y gets dirty, it is easy to clean. Figure 33As shown, the other side of the padding cover 320Y is designated as the front side C of the padding cover 320Y. When the padding cover 320Y is used outside the padding body 310Y, the back side D of the padding cover 320Y is placed downwards on the supporting body 110Y, that is, the back side D of the padding cover 320Y is in contact with the supporting body 110Y, while the front side C of the padding cover 320Y is upwards for the pet to lie on.

[0250] Furthermore, such as Figure 32 and Figure 33 As shown, the outer edge of the padding sleeve 320Y is also provided with multiple blocking tabs 330Y, which can be folded or opened relative to the padding sleeve 320Y. In this embodiment, there are four blocking tabs 330Y, which are respectively connected to the four side edges of the padding sleeve 320Y. In other embodiments, the number and arrangement of the blocking tabs 330Y can also be adjusted according to actual needs. For example... Figure 37 As shown, when the shielding plate 330Y is retracted relative to the padding sleeve 320Y, the shielding plate 330Y fits against one side surface of the padding sleeve 320Y (e.g., the back surface D of the padding sleeve 320Y), thus facilitating the placement of the padding assembly 300Y entirely inside the mounting enclosure 120Y of the base 100Y. Figure 32 As shown, when the shielding plate 330Y is opened relative to the padding sleeve 320Y, the shielding plate 330Y can cover at least part of the base 100Y. In this embodiment, the shielding plate 330Y mainly covers the outer edge of the base 100Y to prevent the pet from contacting the base 100Y, which is made of a harder material.

[0251] Specifically, the pet carrier 10Y proposed in one embodiment of the present invention can have multiple usage modes. The first usage mode, the second usage mode, and the third usage mode are described below as examples. However, it should be noted that the pet carrier 10Y of the present invention can have, but is not limited to, the usage modes listed below. Other usage modes of the above structure, which are not shown, are also within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0252] like Figure 37As shown, when the pet carrier 10Y is in its first usage mode, the base 100Y is connected to or separated from the housing 200Y, the mounting fence 120Y is in an unfolded state, the padding sleeve 320Y is fitted over the padding body 310Y, and the shielding plate 330Y is retracted relative to the padding sleeve 320Y, that is, the shielding plate 330Y is in contact with one side surface of the padding sleeve 320Y (i.e., the back surface D of the padding sleeve 320Y), and the padding assembly 300Y is installed on the base 100Y and the entire padding assembly 300Y is located inside the mounting fence 120Y. When the pet carrier 10Y is in its first usage mode, the padding assembly 300Y provides a certain degree of support and cushioning for the pet in the accommodating space 150Y, thereby improving the riding comfort of the pet in the accommodating space 150Y during the lifting, moving, or transportation of the pet carrier 10Y.

[0253] like Figure 38 As shown, when the pet carrier 10Y is in its second usage mode, the base 100Y is separated from the housing 200Y, the mounting fence 120Y is in the unfolded state, the padding assembly 300Y is installed on the base 100Y and the entire padding assembly 300Y is located inside the mounting fence 120Y, and the shielding plate 330Y is opened to cover the outer edge of the base 100Y. When the pet carrier 10Y is in its second usage mode, the base 100Y and the padding assembly 300Y can be used as an operating table. That is, injured or sick pets do not need to be moved out of the housing 200Y through the window 230Y. Instead, the housing 200Y can be removed directly, the shielding plate 330Y can be opened, and the base 10Y and the padding assembly 300Y, along with the pet, can be placed on the operating table for surgery. This avoids secondary injury to the pet when it is moved out of the window 230Y and greatly improves the efficiency of pet rescue. Understandably, in this mode, the 120Y installation enclosure can also be in a folded state, and this is not a limitation.

[0254] like Figure 39 and Figure 40 As shown, when the pet carrier 10Y is in its third usage mode, the pad body 310Y is removed from the mounting cavity 321Y of the pad sleeve 320Y through the mounting port 322Y, and the pad body 310Y is fitted onto the base 100Y via the mounting ring edge 311Y and the elastic band 312Y. At this time, the base 100Y and the pad body 310Y can be used as a stretcher, with the pet lying on the pad body 310Y. The user can lift and move the pet using the lifting ring 130Y. In a further embodiment, the removed pad sleeve 320Y can also be laid on the pad body 310Y, with the pet lying on the pad sleeve 320Y, improving the pet's comfort. Additionally, the pet carrier 10Y in the third usage mode can also serve as a platform for the pet to play.

[0255] In addition, the pet carrier 10Y also has other usage modes. For example, the padding component 300Y can also be placed entirely on the indoor floor for pets to play on, i.e., used as a pet mat. These are not all listed in this invention.

[0256] The aforementioned pet carrying device 10Y has at least the following technical effects:

[0257] In the aforementioned pet carrying device 10Y, the base 100Y and the housing 200Y are detachably connected. A padding assembly 300Y is installed on the base 100Y. The padding assembly 300Y includes a padding body 310Y and a padding sleeve 320Y that is fitted over the padding body 310Y. The padding body 310Y has an mounting ring edge 311Y and an elastic band 312Y. The padding body 310Y can be fitted over the base 100Y through the elastic band 312Y. Thus, by connecting or separating the base 100Y and the housing 200Y, and by fitting the padding sleeve 320Y or not fitting it over the padding body 310Y, and by fitting the elastic band 312Y or not fitting it over the base 100Y, multiple usage modes of the pet carrying device 10Y can be configured, facilitating pet entry, exit, and transport.

[0258] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, 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.

[0259] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
