[0004] According to a first aspect of the invention, a carrier is provided, comprising: a housing assembly defining an accommodating space; and a canopy assembly attached to the housing assembly. The canopy assembly includes a connecting seat and a canopy frame. The canopy frame is pivotally connected to the connecting seat and is pivotable between a closed position and a maximum open position. The canopy frame in the maximum open position has an obtuse angle relative to its maximum opening angle in the closed position.

[0005] In one embodiment, the connector has a stop portion that includes an inclined sidewall that slopes toward the center of the connector.

[0006] In one embodiment, the lower end of the inclined sidewall is provided with an arc-shaped concave wall, the top end of which is offset towards the center of the connector by a certain distance relative to the bottom end of the arc-shaped concave wall.

[0007] In one embodiment, the connecting seat includes a limiting seat and a pivot seat connected to at least one side of the limiting seat. The pivot seat includes a pivot and a stop is disposed on the limiting seat. When the canopy frame pivots about the pivot to the maximum open position, the stop abuts against the canopy frame to prevent further pivoting and opening of the canopy frame.

[0008] In one embodiment, the canopy frame includes a canopy rod and a pivot connected to the end of the canopy rod; the pivot of the canopy frame is sleeved on a pivot to pivotally connect to a connecting seat.

[0009] In one embodiment, an arc-shaped concave wall is disposed on a limiting seat, the arc-shaped concave wall extending along an arc centered on a pivot, and the pivot cylinder having an arc-shaped convex wall extending along an arc centered on a pivot. When the ceiling frame pivots about the pivot, the arc-shaped convex wall slides against the arc-shaped concave wall and slides along the arc-shaped concave wall.

[0010] In one embodiment, the pivot seat further includes a pivot seat base, one side of which is connected to a limiting seat, and a pivot extends from the pivot seat base.

[0012] In the carrier provided in the first aspect of the invention, the canopy frame, in its maximum open position, has an obtuse angle relative to its maximum opening angle in its closed position. Thus, compared to cases where the maximum opening angle is an acute or right angle, the carrier of the present invention can increase the maximum rotatable angle of the canopy frame, thereby increasing the maximum openable space of the canopy assembly. When the canopy frame is opened to its maximum opening angle, the pet in the carrier can stand upright, reducing the risk of crushing the pet and improving its comfort.

The first support 21 can be a rectangle formed of tubing, having a longitudinal direction D1 and a transverse direction D2, including two opposing long sides 2101 (also referred to as first sides) and two opposing short sides 2102 (also referred to as second sides). Each of the second supports 22 can be a U-shaped support formed of tubing. The two ends of each second support 22 are respectively connected to the first support 21, and the two second supports 22 are separated from each other in the longitudinal direction D1. The first support 21 is attached to the housing body 10 and surrounds the outer side of the peripheral wall 102 of the housing body 10, and near the top opening 110. Each of the second supports 22 is attached to the outer side of the bottom outer wall and the outer side of the peripheral wall of the housing body 10, and is at least partially embedded in the fixing grooves 103 on the outer side of the bottom outer wall and the outer side of the peripheral wall of the housing body 10. The contours of the first bracket 21 and the second bracket 22 correspond to the contours of the housing body 10, respectively. In this way, the bracket assembly 20 can provide stable support for the housing body 10 and improve the impact resistance of the housing body 10.

[0120] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 8 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 The base 40 is located below the housing body 10 and is fixed to the bottom 101 of the housing body 10. In some embodiments, the base 40 may cover the entire bottom 101 of the housing body 10. In some embodiments, the base 40 may cover a portion of the bottom 101 of the housing body 10. The base 40 helps to improve the structural strength of the bottom 101 of the housing body 10.

[0121] In some embodiments, the base 40 may include a base body 43, which may be made of, but is not limited to, plastic. The base body 43 is located below and fixed to the housing body 10. The base body 43, for example, covers the entire bottom 101.

[0122] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 13The base 40 may further include a connecting device 41, which may be disposed on one side of the base body 43. The connecting device 41 may be detachably connected to a vehicle's connecting accessory, for example. The vehicle's connecting accessory may be located, for example, at the lower part of the backrest of the vehicle seat near the seat cushion. When the connecting device 41 is connected to the connecting accessory at the lower part of the backrest of the vehicle seat, the vehicle 1000 can be placed on the vehicle seat. The connecting device 41 may include one or more connectors 411 distributed on one side of the base body 43. Correspondingly, the vehicle's connecting accessory may include one or more connectors of the same number as the connectors 411 in the connecting device 41, adapted to insert one or more connectors 411 of the base body 43 into corresponding connectors on the vehicle. Each connector 411 includes a plug portion 4111, which is a portion that directly contacts and is fixedly inserted into the vehicle's connector. When the connecting device 41 is connected to the vehicle seat's connecting accessory, the plug portion 4111 is inserted into the connector and can be accommodated within the connector. Each connector 411 may further include a connecting portion 4112, which may be located between the base body 43 and the connector 4111, and configured to connect the connector 4111 to one side of the base body 43. When the connecting device 41 is connected to the connecting fitting of a vehicle seat, the connecting portion 4112 may not be located inside the connector, but outside the connector. Figures 5 to 13 In the example shown, the connecting part 4112 may include a pivoting mechanism, and the plug part 4111 is pivotally connected to the base body 43 via the pivoting mechanism. However, in other examples, the plug part 4111 may be connected to the base body 43 via a different connection method. Accordingly, the connecting part 4112 may include connecting parts with different configurations to connect the base body 43 and the plug part 4111.

[0123] See Figures 9 to 13In some embodiments, each connector 411 (and its connector portion 4111) has a folded state housed in a folding groove 4301 of the base body 43, and an unfolded state extending from the folding groove 4301 of the base body 43 and protruding from the side wall of the base body 43. When it is not necessary to secure the vehicle 1000 to the vehicle seat, the connector 411 (and its connector portion 4111) can be in the folded state. When it is necessary to secure the vehicle 1000 to the vehicle seat, the connector 411 (and its connector portion 4111) can be in the unfolded state. In some embodiments, the user can manually fold the connector 411 (and its connector portion 4111) to the unfolded or folded state. In some embodiments, a connector operating member 412 may be provided on one side of the base body 43, and the connector operating member 412 is connected to the connector 411 via a mechanical structure disposed at the bottom of the base body 43. During its movement from the initial position to the drive position, the connector operating member 412 can drive the connector 411 (and its insertion part 4111) to switch from a retracted state to an extended state via the aforementioned mechanical structure. Similarly, during its movement from the drive position to the initial position, the connector 411 (and its insertion part 4111) can switch from an extended state to a retracted state via the aforementioned mechanical structure. The user can switch the connector 411 (and its insertion part 4111) between the retracted and extended states via the connector operating member 412.

[0124] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 One or more connectors 4111 of the connecting device 41 may be centrally located on one side of the base body 43. Typically, vehicle connection accessories may include two connectors (e.g., ISOFIX connectors, LATCH connectors, or seatbelt connectors), which are horizontally centered on the lower part of the vehicle seat back. Accordingly, in some embodiments, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connecting device 41 may include two connectors 411 adapted to be plugged into two connectors of a vehicle, the two connectors 411 having corresponding two plug portions 4111. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the example, the connecting device 41 is centrally located on the base body 43. That is, viewed in the horizontal direction D2, the first center line C1 of the two plug-in portions 4111 of the connecting device 41 in the height direction D3 coincides with the second center line C2 of the base body 43 in the height direction D3 (that is, the center line of the housing assembly 100, which may be located in the center plane of the housing assembly 100 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction D2). Furthermore, viewed in the horizontal direction D2, the two plug-in members 411 (and the two plug-in portions 4111) may be axially symmetrical with respect to the first center line C1.

[0125] In an embodiment where one or more connectors 4111 of the connecting device 41 are centrally located on one side of the base body 43, the vehicle 1000 will be placed in the center of the seat when the connecting device 41 is connected to the vehicle's connecting accessories. However, in such a case, when the length of the housing body 10 in the longitudinal direction D1 is large, when the connector 411 is inserted into the connector at the lower part of the backrest, the side of the housing body 10 near the door is prone to interfere with the door or other vehicle components around the door, affecting the smooth opening and closing of the door or hindering the smooth fixing of the vehicle 1000.

[0126] In some embodiments, see Figures 5 to 13 One or more plug-in portions 4111 of the connecting device 41 can be offset toward one side of the base body 43. That is, viewed from the side of the carrier 1000 where the connecting device 41 is provided (viewed in the transverse direction D2), in the use state, the first center line C1 of one or more plug-in portions 4111 of the connecting device 41 in the height direction D3 is offset to one side in the longitudinal direction D1 by a first distance d1 relative to the second center line C2 of the base body 43 or the housing body 10 in the height direction D3.

[0127] The first center line C1 of one or more plug-in portions 4111 of the connecting device 41 in the height direction D3 can be a common center line in the height direction D3 that passes approximately through the common geometric center of one or more plug-in portions 4111 in the connecting device 41 when it is in use. The use state of the connecting device 41 refers to the state when the connecting device 41 is connected to the connecting accessories of the vehicle, for example, it can be the state in which each plug-in 411 (and plug-in portion 4111) in the connecting device 41 is in the unfolded state. For example, when the connecting device 41 includes only one plug part 4111, the first center line C1 can be the axis in the height direction D3 passing through the geometric center of the single plug part 4111 in the use state / deployed state; when the connecting device 41 includes an odd number of plug parts 4111 equally spaced in a row, the first center line C1 can be the axis in the height direction D3 passing through the geometric center of the middle plug part 4111 in the use state / deployed state; when the connecting device 41 includes an even number of plug parts 4111 equally spaced in a row, the first center line C1 can be the center line in the height direction D3 passing through the midpoint of the line connecting the two geometric centers of the two middle plug parts 4111 in the use state / deployed state.

[0128] For example, see Figures 5 to 13The connecting device 41 may include two plug-in portions 4111 horizontally distributed on one side of the base body 43. In this case, the first center line C1 of the two plug-in portions 4111 may be the center line in the height direction D3 that passes through the midpoint of the line connecting the two geometric centers of the two plug-in portions in the unfolded state. When viewed in the transverse direction D2, the first center line C1 of the two plug-in portions 4111 in the height direction D3 is offset by a first distance d1 relative to the second center line C2 of the base body 43 in the height direction D3 along the distribution direction (longitudinal D1) of the two plug-in portions 4111.

[0129] exist Figures 5 to 13 In the example shown, viewed in the transverse direction D2, the two connectors 4111 can be arranged symmetrically, such that the first center line C1 can be the axis of symmetry of the two connectors 4111, that is, the two connectors 4111 are symmetrical about the first center line C1. See also Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 As shown, viewed in the transverse direction D2, each of the two insertion portions 4111 can have a retracted state where it pivots from the outside of the two insertion portions 4111 towards the center to be housed in the base body 43. In the retracted state, the center line C11 of each insertion portion 4111 passing through its own geometric center in the height direction D3 is offset outward relative to the first center line C1 by a second distance d2. See also Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 As shown, viewed in the transverse direction D2, each of the two insertion portions 4111 can have an unfolded state where it pivots outward from the center side of the two insertion portions 4111 to extend outward from the base body 43. In the unfolded state, the center line C12 of each insertion portion 4111 in the height direction D3, passing through its own geometric center, is offset outward relative to the first center line C1 by a third distance d3, where the second distance d2 is less than the third distance d3. In other examples, the insertion portions 4111 in the connecting device 41 may have different switching methods between a retracted state and an unfolded state. For example, two axisymmetrically arranged insertion portions 4111 may also pivot from the outside to the center side to the unfolded state and from the center side to the outside to the retracted state. Or, for example, one or more insertion portions 4111 may be arranged along the transverse direction D2 in the length direction and may have a retracted state that slides into the base body 43 along the transverse direction D2 and an unfolded state that slides outward from the base body 43 along the transverse direction D2, and so on. In various embodiments where the switching between the retracted and extended states differs, the first centerline C1 of the connecting device 41 can be determined by the centerline in the height direction D3 that passes through the common geometric center of all the plugs 4111 in the connecting device 41 in the use state.

[0130] The first center line C1 of one or more plug-in portions 4111 of the connecting device 41 can be offset to either side in the longitudinal direction D1 relative to the second center line C2 of the base body 43 or the housing body 10. For example, in Figures 5 to 8 In the example shown, when viewed from the side of the vehicle 1000 with the connector 411, the first center line C1 of the two connector portions 4111 of the two connectors 411 is offset to the right by a first distance d1 on the base body 43. Thus, when the vehicle 1000 is fixed to the right-hand seat of the vehicle, the side of the vehicle 1000 near the right-hand door can be further separated from vehicle components such as the right-hand door, thus reducing the likelihood of interference with these components. Similarly, in other examples, when viewed from the side of the vehicle 1000 with the connector 411, the first center line C1 of the two connector portions 4111 can also be offset to the left by a certain distance on the base body 43. Thus, when the vehicle 1000 is fixed to the left-hand seat of the vehicle, the side of the vehicle 1000 near the left-hand door can be further separated from vehicle components such as the left-hand door, thus reducing the likelihood of interference with these components.

[0131] In some embodiments, see Figures 9 to 13 A locking lever 42 may be provided at the bottom of the base body 43. When the carrier 1000 is placed on a vehicle seat or a trolley, a fixed seat (not shown in the figure) may be pre-installed on the vehicle seat or trolley, and a locking mechanism (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the fixed seat. The locking mechanism is adapted to engage with the locking lever 42, thereby fixing the carrier 1000 to the fixed seat. In some embodiments, the locking lever 42 has a retracted state housed in the base body 43 and an extended state extending from the bottom wall of the base body 43. A locking lever operating member 421 may be provided on one side of the base body 43, and the locking lever operating member 421 is connected to the locking lever 42 via a mechanical structure arranged at the bottom of the base body 43. During the movement from the initial position to the driving position, the locking lever operating member 421 can drive the locking lever 42 from the retracted state to the extended state via the aforementioned mechanical structure, and during the movement from the driving position to the initial position, the locking lever 42 can also be driven from the extended state to the retracted state via the aforementioned mechanical structure. When it is not necessary to fix the vehicle 1000 to the fixed base, the user can operate the locking lever operating member 421 to put the locking lever 42 in the retracted state. When it is necessary to fix the vehicle 1000 to the fixed base, the user can operate the locking lever operating member 421 to put the locking lever 42 in the extended state.

[0132] In some embodiments, see Figures 33 to 39The housing assembly 100 may also include a seat cover 13. The housing body 10 and the support assembly 20 may be covered by the seat cover 13. See also, in some embodiments... Figure 33 and Figure 34 The seat cover 13 may include an outer seat cover 131 covering the outside of the housing body 10 and the support assembly 20, and an inner seat cover 132 covering the inside of the housing body 10. The outer seat cover 131 may include an outer wall cover 1311 covering the outer walls of the housing body 10 and the support assembly 20 and exposed to the outside, and an outer bottom wall cover 1312 covering the outer bottom wall of the housing body 10 and sandwiched between the housing body 10 and the base body 43. The inner seat cover 132 may include an inner wall cover 1321 covering the inner side walls of the housing body 10, and an inner bottom wall cover 1322 covering the inner bottom wall of the housing body 10. In some embodiments, the seat cover 13 may additionally include an inner bottom pad (not shown), which has a shape adapted to the inner bottom wall pad 1322 and can be placed on the inner bottom wall pad 1322 for use. The inner bottom pad may have a multi-layered sandwich structure and / or a breathable structure to facilitate comfort and breathability during use.

[0133] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 8 The carrier 1000 may further include a canopy assembly 300, which can be attached to the housing assembly 100 to cover the top opening 110. The canopy assembly 300 may include a canopy fabric (not shown), two U-shaped canopy frames 31, and two connecting seats 32 connecting the two U-shaped canopy frames 31. The canopy fabric is connected to the two canopy frames 31. The canopy fabric may include windproof fabric, rainproof fabric, sunshade fabric, and / or breathable mesh fabric, depending on the intended use. The end of each canopy frame 31 is pivotally connected to the respective connecting seat 32 and is pivotable between a closed position and a fully open position.

[0134] See Figures 1 to 8The connecting seat 32 has a longitudinal direction D1 and a height direction D3 orthogonal to the longitudinal direction D1 and the transverse direction D2. The connecting seat 32 includes a limiting seat 321 located in the middle in the longitudinal direction D1 and two pivot seats 322 respectively disposed on both sides of the limiting seat 321. The pivot seat 322 includes a pivot seat base 3221 and a pivot shaft 3222 extending from the center of the pivot seat base 3221 away from the housing body 10. Each canopy frame 31 includes a U-shaped canopy rod 311 and a pivot cylinder 312 connected to the end of the canopy rod 311. The pivot cylinder 312 of each canopy frame 31 is sleeved on the corresponding pivot shaft 3222, thereby making each canopy frame 31 pivotally connected to the corresponding connecting seat 32. One side of the pivot base 3221 is connected to the limiting seat 321. The pivot base 3221 is recessed relative to the limiting seat 321 toward the housing body 10, so that when the canopy frame 31 is pivotally connected to the connecting seat 32, the outer side of the pivot cylinder 312 of the canopy frame 31 is substantially flush with the outer side of the limiting seat 321. By pivoting the canopy frame 31 around the pivot 3222, the canopy assembly 300 can be switched between the maximum open position and the closed position, thereby achieving the purposes of safety / sunshade / rain protection / mosquito protection and convenient storage.

[0135] See Figures 1 to 8 Limiting sidewalls 3211 are provided on both sides of the limiting seat 321. The limiting sidewalls 3211 may have an arc-shaped concave wall 32111 extending along an arc centered on the pivot 3222, and the pivot cylinder 312 has an arc-shaped convex wall 3121 extending along an arc centered on the pivot 3222, so that when the canopy frame 31 is pivotally connected to and pivots with the corresponding connecting seat 32, the arc-shaped convex wall 3121 of the pivot cylinder 312 of the canopy frame 31 can slide against the arc-shaped concave wall 32111 of the corresponding connecting seat 32, and slide pivot along the arc-shaped concave wall 32111 between the maximum open position and the closed position. The limiting sidewall 3211 also has a stop portion 32112, which can engage with the top end 32111a of the arc-shaped concave wall 32111. The roof rod 311 has an abutment portion 3111 near the pivot 312. When the roof frame 31 pivots about the pivot 3222 and opens to its maximum open position, the stop portion 32112 abuts against the abutment portion 3111 on the roof rod 311, preventing further pivoting and opening of the roof frame 31. Thus, the engagement between the stop portion 32112 and the abutment portion 3111 on the roof rod 311 limits the maximum opening angle that the roof frame 31 can open relative to its horizontally closed position in its maximum open position.

[0136] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 2 and Figures 14 to 15The limiting sidewall 3211 can be arranged substantially vertically. That is, the connecting line between the top end 32111a and the bottom end 32111b of the arc-shaped concave wall 32111 is substantially parallel to the height direction D3, and the stop portion 32112 includes a vertical sidewall 32112a extending upward from the top end 32111a of the arc-shaped concave wall 32111, which is also substantially parallel to the height direction D3. The position of the vertical sidewall 32112a is suitable such that when the abutment portion 3111 on the canopy rod 311 abuts against the vertical sidewall 32112a, the canopy frame 31 is in a substantially vertical state, that is, the canopy frame 31 is opened to a maximum opening angle of 90 degrees relative to its horizontal closed position in the maximum opening position.

[0137] In some embodiments, see Figures 3 to 8 The limiting sidewall 3211 may be arranged to be substantially inclined toward the center relative to the height direction D3. That is, in the longitudinal direction D1, the top end 32111a of the arcuate concave wall 32111 is offset toward the center of the guide 32 by a certain distance relative to the bottom end 32111b of the arcuate concave wall 32111, and the stop portion 32112 includes an inclined sidewall 32112b extending obliquely from the top end 32111a of the arcuate concave wall 32111 toward the center of the guide 32, and the top end of the inclined sidewall 32112b is also offset toward the center of the guide 32 by a certain distance relative to its bottom end. The position and inclination angle of the inclined sidewall 32112b are adapted such that when the abutment portion 3111 on the canopy rod 311 abuts against the inclined sidewall 32112b, the canopy frame 31 is in the maximum open position and opens to a maximum opening angle θ greater than 90 degrees (i.e., an obtuse angle) relative to its horizontal closed position. This increases the maximum rotatable angle of the canopy frame 31, thereby increasing the maximum openable space of the canopy assembly 300. Pets in the vehicle 1000 can stand upright, reducing the risk of being crushed and improving their comfort. Figure 3 In one example, the canopy frame 31 can be opened to a maximum opening angle θ of 135 degrees relative to its horizontal closed position; however, in other examples, this maximum opening angle θ may be a larger or smaller obtuse angle.

[0138] In some embodiments, see Figures 3 to 8 The end portion 3112 of the ceiling rod 311 is bent into a transitional shape with the central portion 3113 (excluding the end portion 3112). See also Figure 3 As shown, in the covered position, the end rod portion 3112 of the ceiling rod 311 can be bent upward relative to the central rod portion 3113 other than the end rod portion 3112, so as to facilitate the compact arrangement of related components.

[0139] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 8A connecting base 211 can be provided at the middle position of the two long sides 2101 of the first bracket 21. The two connecting seats 32 are detachably connected to the corresponding connecting base 211, which allows the canopy assembly 300 to be detached from the housing assembly 100.

[0140] In some embodiments, see Figures 5 to 8 And it can be applied to Figures 40 to 42 and Figure 52 The vehicle 1000 may also include a handle 60. The handle 60 may have a generally U-shaped shape. Both ends of the handle 60 are connected to the housing assembly 100 or the roof assembly 300, respectively, to facilitate the user in lifting the vehicle 1000 using the handle 60. Figures 5 to 8 In the example shown, the handle 60 is connected to two connecting seats 32 at its two ends. In some embodiments, the handle 60 is fixedly or detachably connected to the outside of the two connecting seats 32, and the handle 60 is arranged substantially vertically, that is, the handle 60 extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction D1 of the box body 10. In other embodiments, the handle 60 may be pivotally connected to the outside of the two connecting seats 32 at its two ends to allow the handle 60 to switch between a vertical use position and a horizontal or more extended (e.g., extended to a height close to the bottom) folded position. In some embodiments, correspondingly, two handle insertion holes 13111 may be provided on the outer wall fabric 1311 of the seat fabric 13 at positions corresponding to the two ends of the handle 60, to facilitate the handle 60 connected to the two connecting seats 32 to extend outward through the handle insertion holes 13111. In some other embodiments, the two ends of the handle 60 may also be connected to different positions than described above, for example, to the ribs of the canopy assembly 300 for supporting the canopy fabric.

[0141] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 8 , Figures 14 to 17 , Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 31 , Figure 32 Ventilation holes 1023 can be provided on each long side 1021 and each short side 1022 of the peripheral wall 102, allowing airflow to exit through these holes 1023, thereby creating a more uniform airflow within the accommodating space 11 and further improving the permeability and ventilation of the accommodating space 11. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, at least one of the two long sides 1021 and the two short sides 1022 may not have ventilation holes 1023. Furthermore, see... Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 27 , Figure 28In some embodiments, a plurality of ventilation holes 1023 may be provided at the bottom 101 of the housing body 10 to further promote the circulation of air inside the accommodating space 11 with outside air. These ventilation holes 1023 may be covered by a seat cover 13.

[0142] In some embodiments, the vehicle 1000 may also have a ventilation structure at the base 40. See also Figures 14 to 25 A receiving cavity 401 is formed between the base body 43 and the box body 10. The base body 43 is provided with a ventilation hole 432, which connects the receiving cavity 401 to the outside air. Figure 24 and Figure 25 As can be seen, multiple ventilation holes 432 can be provided on multiple sides of the base body 43. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, multiple ventilation holes 432 can also be provided on only one side of the base body 43. The shape, size and number of ventilation holes 432 can be designed as needed.

[0143] In some embodiments, see Figures 16 to 19 , Figure 24 , Figure 25 , Figures 28 to 30 Inside the receiving cavity 401, a dustproof baffle 431 may be provided on the base body 43 at a position corresponding to the ventilation hole 432. The dustproof baffle 431 extends upward from the bottom wall of the base body 43. The dustproof baffle 431 may be arranged around the area where the ventilation hole 432 is located to divide the receiving cavity 401 into an air inlet cavity 4011 on the edge side and an air guide cavity 4012 on the center side. The air inlet cavity 4011 communicates with the outside air through the ventilation hole 432. A ventilation channel 1011 is left between the top of the dustproof baffle 431 and the bottom of the housing body 10. In this way, sand and dust in the outside air entering through the ventilation hole 432 can be partially blocked by the dustproof baffle 431 and left in the air inlet cavity 4011, while air can enter the air guide cavity 4012 from the air inlet cavity 4011 through the ventilation channel 1011 between the dustproof baffle 431 and the bottom of the housing body 10.

[0144] In some embodiments, see Figure 19 , Figure 28 One or more drainage holes 40111 may be provided on the bottom wall of the air inlet cavity 4011, so that sand and dust that fall onto the bottom wall of the air inlet cavity 4011 and are blocked by the dust baffle 431 can be discharged through the drainage holes 40111. The upper surface of the bottom wall of the air inlet cavity 4011 may have a lower and a higher position, for example, it may have an inclined structure, and the drainage hole 40111 may be set at the lowest point of the bottom wall of the air inlet cavity 4011 to facilitate the collection and discharge of sand and dust.

[0145] In some embodiments, the dust baffle 431 is flush with and abuts against the bottom surface of the bottom 101 of the housing body 10, and the ventilation channel 1011 includes one or more air inlet grooves 1011a formed on the bottom surface of the housing body 10. The air inlet grooves 1011a are recessed from the bottom surface of the housing body 10 in a direction away from the base body 43. The air inlet grooves 1011a may extend from the ventilation hole 432 toward the guide air cavity 4012. A portion (end and / or middle) of the air inlet groove 1011a extends into the air inlet cavity 4011, and another portion (end and / or middle) extends into the guide air cavity 4012. Thus, air can enter the guide air cavity 4012 from the air inlet cavity 4011 via the air inlet grooves 1011a. Figures 14 to 28 In the example shown, multiple ventilation holes 432 are provided on each of the three side walls of the base body 43, and multiple air inlet grooves 1011a are provided on the bottom surface of the housing body 10 opposite to the three side walls. As can be seen from the figure, the air inlet groove 1011a can have a structure in which one end extends into the air inlet cavity 4011 and the other end extends into the air guide cavity 4012. However, the air inlet groove 1011a can also have a structure in which one or both ends extend into the air inlet cavity 4011 and the middle extends into the air guide cavity 4012. In other examples, the air inlet groove 1011a can also have other structures, as long as it allows air to enter the air guide cavity 4012 from the air inlet cavity 4011 via the air inlet groove 1011a.

[0146] Furthermore, the outer bottom wall fabric 1312 of the seat fabric 13 can be sandwiched between the dust baffle 431 and the bottom of the housing body 10, so that the top of the dust baffle 431 is pressed against the bottom surface of the housing body 10 via the seat fabric 13. The outer bottom wall fabric 1312 of the seat fabric 13 covers the air inlet groove 1011a, and at least a portion of the outer bottom wall fabric 1312 of the seat fabric 13 in the area covering the air inlet groove 1011a, and at least a portion of the area in the air inlet cavity 4011 and the air guide cavity 4012, is made of breathable fabric, such as mesh fabric. In some embodiments, the outer bottom wall fabric 1312 is breathable fabric at least in the area covering the air inlet groove 1011a. In some embodiments, see Figure 33 The outer bottom wall fabric 1312 of the seat fabric 13, sandwiched between the base body 43 and the box body 10, can all be made of breathable fabric, while the outer side wall fabric 1311 of the seat fabric 13 exposed outside the base body 43 can be made of ordinary fabric, such as knitted fabric, woven fabric, non-woven fabric, etc., or it can also be breathable fabric. In this way, air needs to first pass through the seat fabric 13 from the air inlet cavity 4011 into the air inlet groove 1011a, and then pass through the seat fabric 13 from the air inlet groove 1011a into the air guide cavity 4012. By allowing the air to pass through the seat fabric 13 twice, the seat fabric 13 can further filter out sand and dust in the air.

[0147] In addition, in other variations, the ventilation channel 1011 may also include a notch or through hole at the top of the dust baffle 431, or the dust baffle 431 may not abut against the bottom of the housing body 10 and a gap may be left between it and the housing body 10, which serves as the ventilation channel 1011.

[0148] The air guide cavity 4012 and the accommodating space 11 can be connected via the air guide mechanism 40121, thereby allowing outside air entering the accommodating cavity 401 from the ventilation hole 432 to be sent into the accommodating space 11 via the air guide mechanism 40121.

[0149] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the housing body 10 has an opening 1024 at a position corresponding to the outlet of the air guiding mechanism 40121, and the inner wall fabric 1321 has a vent 1301 in the area corresponding to the opening 1024. The inner wall fabric 1321 can be made of breathable material within the vent 1301, or the vent 1301 can be open and not covered by fabric.

[0150] In some embodiments, the air guiding mechanism 40121 may include an opening or through hole that extends through the bottom of the housing body 10 and connects the air guiding cavity 4012 with the accommodating space 11.

[0151] In some embodiments, the air guiding mechanism 40121 may include an opening or hole extending from the air guiding cavity 4012 to the side wall of the housing body 10 to connect the air guiding cavity 4012 with the accommodating space 11.

[0152] In some embodiments, see Figure 24 and Figure 25 The air guiding mechanism 40121 may include a fan assembly 500 for facilitating the drawing of air entering the air guiding chamber 4012 into the receiving space 11. The fan assembly 500 may include a fan section 51, a control section 52, and an air guiding section 55. Optionally, the fan assembly 500 may include a battery section (not shown). The control section 52 may be electrically connected to both the battery section and the fan section 51. The battery section powers the motor of the fan section 51, causing the fan blades (not shown) of the fan section 51 to rotate.

[0153] Figure 26 It shows Figure 24 The fan assembly 500 shown is a perspective view of the fan section 51 and the air guide section 55. Figure 27 It shows Figure 26 Another perspective view of the fan section 51 and the air guide section 55 shown, wherein the air guide housing 551 of the air guide section 55 is in a disassembled state. Figure 28 It shows Figure 24 A perspective view showing the fan section 51 and the air guide section 55 separated from the base 40. Figure 29 and Figure 30It shows Figure 14 The following are perspective views of the vehicle 1000 from different angles, omitting the box body 10, support assembly 20, and roof assembly 300. The control unit 52 of the fan assembly 500 is in a disassembled state.

[0154] In this embodiment, the fan unit 51 includes a fan housing 519, a motor installed within the fan housing 519, and fan blades. Figure 24 and Figure 25 In the middle, the fan housing 519 is volute-shaped and is generally located in the center of the air guide cavity 4012. The motor and fan blades of the fan unit 51 are obscured by the fan housing 519 and are not visible. See also... Figure 16 and Figure 17 The fan housing 519 includes an exhaust port 5191 and an exhaust port 5192. The exhaust port 5191 is downward-facing, and the exhaust port 5192 is located on the side of the fan housing 519. When the motor of the fan unit 51 is energized, the fan blades rotate, causing outside air to enter the air guide cavity 4012 through the ventilation hole 432 and the ventilation channel 1011, and then enter the exhaust port 5191, and be discharged from the exhaust port 5192. It is understood that although this application exemplarily shows a fan unit 51 that uses electric power to drive the rotation of the fan blades to transport air, the fan unit 51 can also be an air supply device with other structures, such as a bladeless fan, as long as it can use electrical energy to drive the transport of air.

[0155] The air guide section 55 is used to guide the air exhausted from the fan section 51 into the accommodating space 11. The air guide section 55 includes an air guide housing 551, at least a portion of which is located in the receiving cavity 401. The air guide housing 551 forms an air guide channel 5510, which includes an air inlet 5501 and an air outlet 5502. The air inlet 5501 of the air guide channel 5510 is connected to the exhaust port 5192 of the fan housing 519, and the air outlet 5502 of the air guide channel 5510 communicates with the accommodating space 11. Air exhausted from the exhaust port 5192 enters the air guide channel 5510 through the air inlet 5501 and is discharged into the accommodating space 11 through the air outlet 5502 of the air guide channel 5510. The air entering the accommodating space 11 can be discharged, for example, through the mesh of the canopy fabric of the ceiling assembly 300, thereby regulating the temperature inside the accommodating space 11. In some embodiments, a sealing ring 593 is provided at the connection between the air guide housing 551 and the fan housing 519 (see...). Figure 26 The sealing ring 593 can prevent air discharged into the air inlet 5501 from leaking between the air guide housing 551 and the fan housing 519. Figure 16 and Figure 17 The arrow F in the middle schematically indicates the direction of airflow.

[0156] See Figure 14 , Figures 17 to 25The air guide housing 551 defines a bent air guide channel 5510. The air outlet 5502 of the air guide channel 5510 supplies air from the peripheral wall 102 of the housing body 10 into the accommodating space 11. In some embodiments, the inner sidewall 10212 of the peripheral wall 102 of the housing body 10 is provided with an opening 1024, which is located, for example, but not limited to, between two second supports 22. The opening 1024 and the air outlet 5502 are opposite each other to allow air exhausted from the air outlet 5502 to enter the accommodating space 11. In some embodiments, the air outlet 5502 does not protrude into the accommodating space 11 relative to the opening 1024.

[0157] In some embodiments, the seat fabric 13 may cover the opening 1024, and the seat fabric 13 is a breathable fabric, at least in the area covering the opening 1024, to allow air exhausted from the air outlet 5502 to pass through it and enter the accommodating space 11. Figure 34 In the example shown, the inner wall fabric 1321 and the inner bottom wall fabric 1322 of the seat fabric 13 within the accommodating space 11 are both breathable fabrics. Thus, air from any opening 1024 on the inner wall of the housing body 10 can pass through the seat fabric 13 into the accommodating space 11. In some embodiments, see... Figure 35 A vent 1301 may be provided in the area corresponding to the opening 1024 on the seat fabric 13. The area of ​​the seat fabric 13 other than the vent 1301 may be made of ordinary fabric. The vent 1301 may have a shape corresponding to the opening 1024, for example, a shape exactly the same as and aligned with the opening 1024, or a shape slightly larger than and covering the opening 1024. The vent 1301 may be covered by breathable fabric. In other embodiments, the vent 1301 may also be open and uncovered, directly exposing the opening 1024 opposite to the vent 1301 to the receiving space 11. In the example shown in the figure, the opening 1024 has a vertical strip extending along the height direction D3, and correspondingly, the vent 1301 on the seat fabric 13 also has a vertical strip shape. Furthermore, a protective net may be provided on the air outlet 5502 to prevent foreign objects from entering the air guide channel 5510 through the air outlet 5502. In some embodiments, the protective net may be a filter, which can filter the air entering the accommodating space 11.

[0158] See Figure 33 The bottom of the seat fabric 13 may have a through opening 1302 to allow the air guide channel 5510 to pass through the through opening 1302 and be assembled to the housing body 10. However, in embodiments without an air guide channel 5510, the bottom of the seat fabric 13 may not have the through opening 1302.

[0159] See Figure 20 and Figure 28The bottom of the housing body 10 may have an upwardly recessed fan assembly receiving slot 104. When the base 40 and the fan assembly 500 are assembled to the housing body 10, the fan assembly 500 can be at least partially embedded in the fan assembly receiving slot 104. In this way, the space occupied by the base 40 can be reduced, making the vehicle 1000 lighter.

[0160] See Figures 24 to 27 The fan housing 519 can be fixed to the base body 43 by fastener 591. The air guide housing 551 can be fixed to the base body 43 by fastener 592. Fasteners 591 and 592 can be, for example, screws or bolts.

[0161] See Figure 26 and Figure 27 In some embodiments, the air guide housing 551 may include at least two housing parts, each of which can be manufactured separately by injection molding and then assembled into the air guide housing 551 to form a complete air guide channel 5510. In this embodiment, the air guide housing 551 includes a first housing part 5511 and a second housing part 5512. An air inlet 5501 and an air outlet 5502 are both formed on the first housing part 5511. The first housing part 5511 also has a bottom opening 55110, and the second housing part 5512 covers the bottom opening 55110. In this embodiment, fasteners 592 secure the first housing part 5511 and the second housing part 5512 together to the base body 43, such that the second housing part 5512 is sandwiched between the first housing part 5511 and the base body 43. In some embodiments, a sealing gasket may be sandwiched between the first housing part 5511 and the second housing part 5512. The air guide housing 551 is assembled from multiple housing parts, and each housing part is easy to demold, which facilitates the production and processing of the air guide housing 551.

[0162] In some embodiments, filters may be provided on the inner wall of the base body 43 corresponding to the positions of each ventilation hole 432 to filter sand and dust. Of course, in some embodiments, filters 51911 may also be provided at the air intake vent 5191 and / or exhaust vent 5192 of the fan housing 519. Furthermore, in some embodiments, filters may be provided at any suitable location. The filters may be, for example, filter sheets or filter cotton, and may have a single-layer or multi-layer filtration structure to ensure that the air discharged into the accommodating space 11 from the air outlet 5502 is clean and hygienic.

[0163] When a battery unit is included, it can be installed in any suitable location. For example, the battery unit can be installed on the fan housing 519 or on the base body 43.

[0164] See you again Figure 24 and Figure 25 The control unit 52 is located outside the fan housing 519, and more specifically, the control unit 52 is fixed to the base body 43. In some embodiments, a snap-fit ​​part 435 is provided inside the base body 43, and the control unit 52 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​part 435. In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​part 435 includes, for example, two L-shaped plates 4351 disposed opposite each other, each L-shaped plate 4351 extending from the inner wall of the base body 43, and a slot for snapping the control unit 52 is formed between the two L-shaped plates 4351. In some embodiments, a reinforcing rib 4352 is provided between each L-shaped plate 4351 and the base body 43.

[0165] See Figure 29 and Figure 30 In some embodiments, the control unit 52 includes a fixed outer cover 527, a fixed inner cover 526, and a PCB circuit board 521. When the control unit 52 is engaged with the snap-fit ​​part 435, the fixed outer cover 527 abuts against the inner wall of the base body 43. A control button 522 may be provided on the fixed outer cover 527. The control button 522 may include a power switch button and a fan speed button.

[0166] In this embodiment, the fixed outer cover 527 is provided with a mounting hole 5270, and a sleeve 5274 is fitted into the mounting hole 5270. The control button 522 is fitted into the sleeve 5274. In this embodiment, the control button 522 is a mechanical button, and a through hole 4313 is provided on the base body 43, through which the control button 522 is exposed. When the control button 522 is subjected to external pressing pressure, it can slide along the sleeve 5274 and be pressed down. The control unit 52 may also include a return spring 529, which can push the control button 522 to reset when the external pressing pressure is released. In addition, an axial limiting structure (not shown in the figure) can be provided between the control button 522 and the sleeve 5274 to prevent the control button 522 from falling off the sleeve 5274. The axial limiting structure can be, for example, a mating shoulder and shaft shoulder or other suitable structure.

[0167] The PCB circuit board 521 can be positioned on the fixed inner cover 526 and clamped between the fixed inner cover 526 and the fixed outer cover 527. A touch switch 5212 is provided on the PCB circuit board 521. In some embodiments, when the control button 522 is a switch button and is pressed, the touch switch 5212 will be triggered, thereby controlling the battery unit 53 to start or stop supplying power to the motor of the fan unit 51. In some embodiments, the return spring 529 can be located within the sleeve 5274 and clamped between the control button 522 and the PCB circuit board 521.

[0168] The inner cover 526 may have a slot 5265 for receiving the PCB circuit board 521. In some embodiments, a locking structure 528 may be provided between the outer cover 527 and the inner cover 526 to allow the outer cover 527 and the inner cover 526 to reliably engage together, thereby securely clamping the PCB circuit board 521 between them. The locking structure 528 includes, for example, a locking arm 5281 and a locking recess 5282, the locking arm 5281 extending from one of the outer cover 527 and the inner cover 526, and the locking recess 5282 located at the other of the outer cover 527 and the inner cover 526, the locking arm 5281 and the locking recess 5282 engaging.

[0169] In some embodiments, to ensure that the control unit 52 is securely fixed to the base body 43, the wall of the slot 5265 may be fixed to the positioning point 4303 inside the base body 43 by means of a fourth fastener 5266.

[0170] The control unit 52 may also include a charging connector 523, which is electrically connected to the PCB circuit board 521. External power is supplied through the charging connector 523, the PCB circuit board 521, and the wiring harness 5112 of the motor of the fan unit 51 (see...). Figure 26 The charging connector 523 supplies power to the motor. The inner cover 526 may have a through hole 5263 through which the wiring harness 5112 can pass and be electrically connected to the PCB circuit board 521. In this embodiment, the charging connector 523 is positioned appropriately on the PCB circuit board 521. The outer cover 527 has a through hole 5271, and the base body 43 has a through hole 4315; the charging connector 523 passes through both the through hole 5271 and the through hole 4315. In some alternative embodiments, the carrier 1000 may have a battery unit, which can be charged by an external power source through the charging connector 523, and the battery unit then supplies power to the motor of the fan unit 51.

[0171] exist Figures 14 to 33 and Figure 35 In the example shown, the air guide section 55 of the fan assembly 500 has only one air outlet 5502, the inner sidewall 10212 of the housing body 10 has only one opening 1024 corresponding to the air outlet 5502, and the area on the seat fabric 13 corresponding to the opening 1024 has only one vent 1301. Both the opening 1024 and the vent 1301 are vertically elongated. However, in some embodiments, the position, shape, size, and number of the vents 1301 on the seat fabric 13 can be varied, and the position, shape, size, and number of the opening 1024 and the air outlet 5502 can be varied accordingly.

[0172] In some embodiments, see Figure 34The inner wall fabric 1321 and the inner bottom wall fabric 1322 of the seat fabric 13 within the accommodating space 11 are both breathable fabrics. In this way, air from any number of vents 1023 at any position on the inner wall of the housing body 10 can directly pass through the seat fabric 13 into the accommodating space 11 to achieve natural air intake and ventilation, thereby achieving the effect of heat dissipation and ventilation.

[0173] In some embodiments, see Figures 36 to 38 The inner wall fabric 1321 of the seat fabric 13 may be provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 1301 at intervals. The plurality of ventilation holes 1301 may be provided on only one or more sides of the inner wall fabric 1321 of the seat fabric 13, and each side may have one or more ventilation holes 1301 respectively. See also the following embodiments: Figure 36 Multiple vents 1301 can be spaced out along the corresponding longitudinal direction D1 or transverse direction D2, or see [reference needed]. Figure 37 It can be distributed along the height direction at D3 intervals, or see Figure 39 It can be distributed in a horizontal direction with a portion spaced along the longitudinal direction D1 or the transverse direction D2, and in another portion spaced along the vertical direction D3. See also the following embodiments: Figure 36 Multiple vents 1301 may have a vertical strip shape extending in the height direction, or see [reference needed]. Figure 37 Multiple vents 1301 may have horizontal elongated strips extending in the longitudinal direction D1 or the transverse direction D2, or see [reference needed]. Figure 38 The plurality of vents 1301 may have a portion that is a vertical strip extending in the height direction and another portion that is a horizontal strip extending in the longitudinal direction D1 or the transverse direction D2. The shape of the vents 1301 may also be, for example, circular, elliptical, square, hexagonal, irregular, or any other suitable shape. In some embodiments, the inner sidewall of the housing body 10 may be provided with a plurality of openings 1024 corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of vents 1301. Each vent 1301 may have a shape corresponding to each opening 1024, for example, a shape that is exactly the same as and aligned with the opening 1024, or a shape that is slightly larger than the opening 1024 and covers the opening 1024. The air duct 5510 may include at least one air inlet 5501 and a plurality of air outlets 5502. At least one air inlet 5501 is connected to the exhaust port 5192 of the fan housing 519. The plurality of air outlets 5502 are respectively connected to the accommodating space 11 and are respectively opposite to the plurality of openings 1024, so as to allow air discharged from each air outlet 5502 to enter the interior of the accommodating space 11 through the corresponding opening 1024 and the vent 1301.

[0174] In some embodiments, instead of or additional to the vent 1301, a ventilation hole matrix 1303 may be distributed on one or more sides of the inner wall fabric 1321 of the seat fabric 13. The ventilation hole matrix 1303 includes a plurality of ventilation holes 13031 arranged in a matrix, which may be evenly distributed in a predetermined area on the inner wall of the peripheral wall, for example, distributed throughout the entire inner wall of any side of the peripheral wall. Each ventilation hole 13031 may be circular, rectangular, or other shapes. In this embodiment, the ventilation hole matrix 1303 distributed on the inner wall fabric 1321 of the seat fabric 13 allows for more even air delivery into the accommodating space 11, improving user comfort. Figure 39 In the example shown, the vent matrix 1303 comprises a square matrix of vents 13031 arranged in 3 rows × 7 columns. In other examples, the number of vents 13031 in the vent matrix 1303 can be adjusted as needed. In other examples, the arrangement of the vent matrix 1303 can be a triangular matrix, a rectangular matrix, a hexagonal matrix, a matrix forming a specific pattern, or any other arbitrary matrix. In some embodiments, correspondingly, instead of or additional to the opening 1024, multiple openings (not shown) can be provided on the inner sidewall of the housing body 10, corresponding one-to-one with the multiple vents 13031 in the vent matrix 1303. Each vent 13031 can have a shape corresponding to the opening, for example, a shape that is exactly the same as and aligned with the opening, or a shape that is slightly larger than the opening and covers the opening. The air duct 5510 may include at least one air inlet 5501 and a plurality of air outlets 5502. At least one air inlet 5501 is connected to the exhaust port 5192 of the fan housing 519. The plurality of air outlets 5502 are respectively connected to the accommodating space 11 and are opposite to a plurality of openings to allow air discharged from each air outlet 5502 to enter the accommodating space 11 through the corresponding opening.

[0175] In some embodiments, the shape, position, and number of openings 1024 may not correspond one-to-one with the vents 1301 / vent holes 13031. For example, one or more openings 1024 may be provided in a number less than the number of vents 1301 / vent holes 13031. These openings 1024 may cover all of the vents 1301 or the vent hole matrix 1303, or they may partially or completely cover the vents 1301 or the vent hole matrix 1303, and air is transported from the openings 1024 to the vents 1301 or the vent holes 13031 through the interlayer between the inner seat fabric 132 and the inner wall of the housing body 10. Each opening 1024 may be elongated, rectangular, circular, or other shapes.

[0176] In some embodiments, the shape, position, and number of air outlets 5502 may not correspond one-to-one with the openings 1024. For example, one or more air outlets 5502 may be provided in a number less than the number of openings 1024 or openings, and these one or more air outlets 5502 may be partially or completely opposite to the openings 1024 or openings.

[0177] Existing pet carriers, in order to improve their applicability and pet comfort, often adopt larger dimensions. For example, the length (vertical dimension) of the pet carrier is larger to accommodate larger pets. To ensure lightweight construction, the carrier body is typically composed of foam and a supporting structure. When the pet carrier is placed on a transport vehicle, its large longitudinal dimension makes the existing structure insufficiently strong, potentially failing to effectively protect the pet inside in the event of an external impact. Therefore, improving the safety of pet carriers is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0178] The following embodiments of this application provide a carrier 1000 to at least partially solve the aforementioned technical problems. The carrier 1000 can be used to carry live animals such as pets, and may be, for example, but not limited to, a pet carrier or pet ride-on bag. Depending on the usage scenario, the carrier 1000 can also be appropriately used to carry items, such as vegetables and fruits. It is understood that, without conflict, the structures of the housing assembly 100 and the canopy assembly 300 in the following embodiments can refer to the descriptions in the above embodiments.

[0179] Figure 40 and Figure 42 A carrier 1000 according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown, including a housing assembly 100 and a support assembly 20. The housing assembly 100 may define a receiving space 11 for receiving a live animal, such as a pet. The receiving space 11 has a top opening 110 for allowing the live animal to enter and exit the receiving space 11.

[0180] The enclosure assembly 100 includes the enclosure body 10, such as Figure 43 As shown, the enclosure body 10 has a bottom 101 and peripheral walls 102, with the peripheral walls 102 extending upwards from all sides of the bottom 101. The bottom 101 and peripheral walls 102 together define a seating space 11 for the pet and a top opening 110. The enclosure body 10 can be made of foamed materials such as expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polystyrene (EPS), expanded polyethylene (EPE), and expanded ethylene (EPO). Of course, the material of the enclosure body 10 is not limited to the examples mentioned above.

[0181] In this embodiment, when viewed from the top of the box body 10, the box body 10 can be generally rectangular (e.g., a rounded rectangle), having a longitudinal direction D1, a transverse direction D2, and a height direction D3. The length of the box body 10 in the longitudinal direction D1 is greater than its length in the transverse direction D2. The peripheral wall 102 of the box body 10 includes a pair of opposing long peripheral wall sides 1021 extending along the longitudinal direction D1 and a pair of short peripheral wall sides 1022 extending along the transverse direction D2. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the box body 10 can be constructed in shapes other than rectangles, such as, but not limited to, various equilateral shapes or other shapes.

[0182] The housing assembly 100 also includes a connecting device 41 disposed at the lower part of the housing body 10. The housing assembly 100 has a central plane CA1 formed by the transverse direction D2 and the height direction D3 (i.e., the central plane CA1 is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction D1) (the centerline of the housing assembly 100 in the height direction D3 is located in its central plane CA1). The connecting device 41 can be distributed along the direction parallel to the long side. The centerline CA2 of the connecting device 41 extending in the height direction D3 of the housing assembly 100 is located on one side of the central plane CA1, that is, the centerline CA2 is offset relative to the central plane CA1 towards the longitudinal direction. Specifically, the central plane CA1 divides the housing assembly 100 into a first part 10a and a second part 10b arranged along the longitudinal direction D1, wherein the side where the centerline CA2 is located is the first part 10a, and the other side is the second part 10b. The vehicle 1000 is connected to the connecting fittings on the vehicle seat through the connecting device 41. The centerline CA2 of the connecting device 41 is disposed on one side of the central plane CA1 of the housing assembly 100. When the distance between the connecting parts and the door is small, interference between the vehicle 1000 and the door or other components around the door can be avoided. For example... Figure 40 As shown, the centerline CA2 is located in the first part 10a, and the connecting device 41 is mainly distributed in the first part 10a. The longitudinal range of the connecting device 41 overlaps more with the longitudinal range of the first part 10a. Therefore, when the vehicle 1000 is fixed to the vehicle seat via the connecting device 41, the connecting device 41 can better fix the first part 10a to the vehicle seat, and the first part 10a is more protected by the vehicle seat. The second part 10b is more prone to swaying compared to the first part 10a. In this embodiment, a portion of the connecting device 41 extends to the second part 10b. Only a small area of ​​the second part 10b is fixed to the vehicle seat via the connecting device 41 in the longitudinal range; most areas are indirectly connected to the vehicle seat via the connecting device 41. Most areas of the second part 10b are more prone to swaying compared to the first part 10b. Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting device 41 can be entirely located in the first part 10b.

[0183] The support assembly 20 is connected to the housing body 10. The support assembly 20 enhances the strength of the housing body 10. The support assembly 20 can be, for example, a frame structure made of metal. The support assembly 20 includes at least two reinforcing frames (also referred to as second supports) A22, which are coupled to the housing body 10. At least a portion of the reinforcing frames A22 are arranged longitudinally along the carrier 1000. For example, the reinforcing frames A22 can be arranged in the plane formed by the transverse direction D2 and the height direction D3. Figure 43 As shown, the reinforcing frame A22 can be connected to the outer surface of the housing body 10. Specifically, in this embodiment, the reinforcing frame A22 can be U-shaped, including a bottom edge and two side edges. The bottom edge of the reinforcing frame A22 can be connected to the bottom 101 of the housing body 10, and the side edges of the reinforcing frame A22 can be connected to the long side 1021 of the peripheral wall. The reinforcing frame A22 can improve the ability of the vehicle 1000 to withstand forces from the lateral direction D2 and the height direction D3. Figures 40 to 42 In the example shown, the bottom edge of the reinforcing frame A22 extends along the transverse direction D2, and the side edge of the reinforcing frame A22 extends approximately along the height direction D3. In other embodiments, the bottom edge of the reinforcing frame A22 may have a first angle with the transverse direction D2, and the side edge of the reinforcing frame A22 may have a second angle with the height direction D3; this is not limited here.

[0184] The centerline CA2 of the connecting device 41 is located in the first part 10a of the housing assembly 100. The support assembly 20 has at least two reinforcing frames A22 on one side of the second part 10b. These two reinforcing frames A22 can be distributed along the longitudinal direction D1 to improve the resistance of the carrier 1000 to compression and impact at multiple locations along the longitudinal direction D1. It should be noted that reinforcing frames A22 can also be provided on the side where the centerline CA2 of the connecting device 41 is located; this is not a limitation.

[0185] In this embodiment, the connecting device 41 is mainly located in the first part 10a of the housing assembly 100. The support assembly 20 has at least two reinforcing frames A22 on the side of the center plane CA1 away from the center line CA2, that is, the support assembly 20 has at least two reinforcing frames A22 on the side of the housing assembly 100 where the second part 10b is located. When the connecting device 41 is connected to the connecting accessories on the vehicle seat, the side of the housing body 10 corresponding to the second part 10b is protected by at least two reinforcing frames A22, and its strength is improved. Therefore, the risk of deformation or damage to the vehicle 1000 when subjected to compression or impact is reduced, and the safety of the vehicle 1000 is improved.

[0186] See Figures 40 to 42In one embodiment, the support assembly 20 has reinforcing frames A22 on both sides of the central plane CA1, and the reinforcing frames A22 on both sides of the central plane CA1 are asymmetrically distributed. In some embodiments, the number of reinforcing frames A22 on the side of the support assembly 20 where the central line CA2 is located is less than the number of reinforcing frames A22 on the side of the central plane CA1 away from the central line CA2, that is, the number of reinforcing frames A22 on the side where the first part 10a is located is less than the number of reinforcing frames A22 on the side where the second part 10b is located.

[0187] When the vehicle 1000 is connected to the vehicle seat, although the vehicle seat can provide some protection for the vehicle 1000, the vehicle 1000 is still at risk of deformation due to compression or impact. The side of the vehicle 1000 whose center plane CA1 is farther from the center line CA2 (i.e., the side where the second part 10b of the vehicle 1000 is located) is relatively far from the center line CA2 of the connecting device 41, making it more susceptible to shaking or impact deformation. In this embodiment, the bracket assembly 20 has a larger number of reinforcing frames A22 on the side corresponding to the second part 10b, which can improve the structural strength of the vehicle 1000 on that side, enhance its resistance to compression or impact, thereby reducing the risk of deformation or damage to the second part 10b and improving the safety performance of the vehicle 1000. In some embodiments, the number of reinforcing frames A22 located on the side of the center plane CA1 near the center line CA2 (i.e., the side corresponding to the first part 10a) may be greater than or equal to one. The reinforcing frame A22 on this side can improve the structural strength of the vehicle 1000 on that side, thereby improving the vehicle 1000's resistance to compression or impact, and further enhancing the safety of the vehicle 1000. In some embodiments, when the first part 10a achieves the required structural strength through other structures, the support assembly may not have a reinforcing frame A22 on the side corresponding to the first part 10a.

[0188] See Figures 40 to 43 In one embodiment, the reinforcing frame A22 includes a first reinforcing frame 221, a second reinforcing frame 222, and a third reinforcing frame 223. The first reinforcing frame 221 and the second reinforcing frame 222 are located on opposite sides of the center plane CA1. The first reinforcing frame 221 is located on the side of the center plane CA1 closer to the center line CA2 (i.e., the side corresponding to the first part 10b). The second reinforcing frame 222 and the third reinforcing frame 223 are located on the side of the center plane CA1 away from the center line CA2 (i.e., the side corresponding to the second part 10b).

[0189] exist Figure 40In the specific embodiment shown, there is one first reinforcing frame 221 and one second reinforcing frame 222, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the central plane CA1. Because the first reinforcing frames 221 and 222 are symmetrically positioned, they both improve the structural strength of both sides of the vehicle 1000 to approximately the same degree, thereby reducing the overall risk of deformation or damage to the vehicle 1000 and improving its safety. Of course, in other embodiments, the first reinforcing frames 221 and 222 can also be distributed asymmetrically, and the number of first reinforcing frames 221 and 222 can be two or more, and the number of first reinforcing frames 221 and 222 can also be different; this is not limited here.

[0190] The third reinforcing frame 223 is located on the side of the support assembly 20 corresponding to the second part 10b, and can strengthen the structural strength of the carrier 1000 on that side. In this embodiment, the first reinforcing frame 221 and the second reinforcing frame 222 together strengthen the structural strength of the carrier 1000, ensuring the structural strength of the carrier 1000 and reducing the risk of deformation or damage to the carrier 1000. The third reinforcing frame 223 can further strengthen the structural strength of the carrier 1000 on the side of the central plane CA1 away from the connecting device 41.

[0191] See Figure 43 In one embodiment, the reinforcing frame A22 is located outside the housing body 10 and connected to the outer wall of the housing body 10. When the housing body 10 deforms, a force is generated between it and the reinforcing frame A22, thereby directly transferring the load causing the deformation to the reinforcing frame A22. The reinforcing frame A22 can generate a reaction force after bearing the load, which can reduce the deformation of the housing body 10.

[0192] See Figure 44 and Figure 45 Optionally, the reinforcing frame A22 is connected to the housing body 10 via a locking cover 14. For example, the bottom 101 of the housing body 10 has a locking groove 105, and the bottom of the locking groove 105 has a through hole 106. The reinforcing frame A22 has a connecting hole 23 corresponding to the position of the through hole 106. When the housing body 10 is connected to the reinforcing frame A22, the reinforcing frame A22 is connected to the housing body 10 from the outside. The locking cover 14 is installed in the locking groove 105, and fasteners pass through the locking cover 14, the through hole 106 of the housing body 10, and the connecting hole 23 of the reinforcing frame A22. Of course, the housing body 10 and the reinforcing frame A22 can also be connected by welding, bonding, or snap-fitting, etc., which is not limited here.

[0193] See Figure 45 and Figure 46Optionally, a fixing groove 103 can be provided on the outer surface of the housing body 10, and the reinforcing frame A22 can be embedded in the fixing groove 103. The fixing groove 103 can position the reinforcing frame A22 and prevent relative movement between the reinforcing frame A22 and the housing body 10. More specifically, after the reinforcing frame A22 is embedded in the fixing groove 103, the outer surface of the reinforcing frame A22 does not protrude from the outer surface of the housing body 10.

[0194] See Figure 43 and Figure 47 In one embodiment, the support assembly 20 further includes a circumferential support, which is arranged around the housing body 10, and the reinforcing frame A22 is connected to the circumferential support. More specifically, in this embodiment, both ends of the reinforcing frame A22 are connected to the circumferential support.

[0195] like Figure 47 As shown, the circumferential support is located in the plane formed by the longitudinal direction D1 and the transverse direction D2, and is perpendicular to the height direction of the box body 10. The circumferential support is located near the upper part of the box body 10 and is arranged around the box body 10. The circumferential support will bear the longitudinal force D1 and the transverse force D2 when the carrier 1000 is subjected to compression or impact. When the box body 10 is subjected to compression or impact, the strength at the top opening 110 is lower and it is more prone to deformation. The circumferential support is located near the top opening 110 of the box body 10, which can reduce the deformation at the top opening 110, thereby improving the carrier 1000's resistance to compression or impact.

[0196] The reinforcing frame A22 can be U-shaped, with both ends connected to the circumferential support. For example... Figure 44 As shown, the reinforcing frame A22 is connected to the circumferential support to form an integrated structure. When the vehicle 1000 is subjected to compression or impact, the support assembly 20 can balance the stress. At the same time, the support assembly 20 can generate elastic deformation, so that the stress is transferred between the circumferential support and the reinforcing frame A22, dispersing the stress and improving the support assembly 20's ability to resist compression or impact, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle 1000.

[0197] Optionally, the circumferential support may include two first supports 21 and two connecting bases 211. For example... Figure 44 and Figure 45 As shown, the first bracket 21 can be U-shaped, and the ends of the two first brackets 21 are connected by two connecting bases 211 to form a ring structure, thereby surrounding the box body 10. The circumferential bracket adopts a split structure, which facilitates assembly and reduces the dimensional accuracy requirements for the processing of the circumferential bracket.

[0198] For example, such as Figure 47 and Figure 48As shown, the two first supports 21 can be located on both sides of the central plane CA1, and the two connecting bases 211 can be located on the central plane CA1. Of course, the distribution of the first supports 21 and the connecting bases 211 is not limited to this.

[0199] Optionally, the first support 21 and the reinforcing frame A22 can be formed from tubing, which has high structural strength and can further improve the structural strength of the support assembly 20. Of course, the first support 21 and the reinforcing frame A22 can also be made from other profiles, which is not limited here.

[0200] Optionally, since the circumferential support adopts a split structure, the corresponding reinforcing frame A22 can be pre-connected with the first support 21 to form an integrated frame structure before assembly. Then, this frame structure is installed on the outer periphery of the box body 10, and the two ends of the first support 21 are connected by the connecting base 211, so that the support assembly 20 is connected to the outer wall of the box body 10. Figure 48 In the example shown, a first support 21 connects a second reinforcing frame 222 and a third reinforcing frame 223 to form a frame structure. Figure 49 In the example shown, another first bracket 21 connects to the first reinforcing frame 221 to form another frame structure. During assembly, the bracket assembly 20 is divided into two frame structures and two connecting bases 211, which greatly reduces the number of parts in the bracket assembly 20 during assembly, thereby reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency.

[0201] See Figure 50 and Figure 51 In one embodiment, the housing assembly 100 further includes a base 40 located below the housing body 10, and a connecting device 41 is disposed on the base 40.

[0202] The base 40 includes a base body 43 and a connecting device 41. The base body 43 is located below the housing body 10 and connected to the bottom 101 of the housing body 10, and the base body 43 can cover the entire bottom 101 of the housing body 10. After the base body 43 is connected to the bottom 101 of the housing body 10, the bottom of the housing assembly 100 forms at least a double-layer structure. The double-layer structure has a higher load-bearing capacity when subjected to longitudinal forces D1 and lateral forces D2, which can further improve the resistance of the vehicle 1000 to compression or impact, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle 1000. Of course, in embodiments without the base 40, the connecting device 41 can be directly connected to the housing body 10.

[0203] Optionally, the bottom edge of the reinforcing frame A22 is located between the housing body 10 and the base body 43, with the base body 43 in contact with the reinforcing frame A22. When the carrier 1000 is subjected to compression or impact, the base body 43 can transfer stress to each reinforcing frame A22, thereby allowing each reinforcing frame A22 to share the stress, reducing the load on a single reinforcing frame A22, and thus improving the carrier 1000's resistance to compression or impact.

[0204] See Figure 50 and Figure 51 In one embodiment, the connection device 41 includes one or more connectors 411 adapted to be inserted into a connection fitting of a vehicle seat.

[0205] The vehicle's connecting accessories may be located, for example, on the lower part of the vehicle seat back, near the seat cushion. There may be one or more connecting accessories for the vehicle seat. For example, the vehicle's connecting accessories may include two connectors (e.g., ISOFIX connectors, LATCH connectors, or seatbelt connectors), which may be horizontally centered on the lower part of the vehicle seat back. When the connecting device 41 is correspondingly connected to the connecting accessories, the vehicle 1000 is secured to the vehicle seat.

[0206] Optionally, the connector 411 includes a plug-in portion and a connecting portion. The plug-in portion is used for plugging and fixing with the vehicle's connector interface, and the plug-in portion is connected to the connecting portion. The plug-in portion can be plugged into the connector interface and can be accommodated within the connector interface. Figure 50 as well as Figure 51 In the example shown, the connector 411 is connected to the base body 43. Optionally, the connection includes a pivoting mechanism via which the connector is pivotally connected to the base body 43 and configured to connect the connector to one side of the base body 43. When the connecting device 41 is connected to a connecting accessory for a vehicle seat, the connector may not be located inside the connector but outside the connector. In other examples, the connector may be connected to the base body 43 via different connection methods, and accordingly, the connection may include connectors with different configurations to connect the base body 43 to the connector.

[0207] Optional, such as Figure 50 and Figure 51As shown, the base body 43 is provided with folding slots 4301 corresponding to each connector 411. The connectors 411 are installed in the corresponding folding slots 4301 and are rotatably connected to the base body 43 via a pivoting mechanism. Each connector 411 has a folded state, which is housed in the folding slot 4301 of the base body 43, and an unfolded state, which protrudes from the folding slot 4301 of the base body 43 and protrudes from the side wall of the base body 43. When it is not necessary to fix the vehicle 1000 to the vehicle seat, the connector 411 can be in the folded state. When it is necessary to fix the vehicle 1000 to the vehicle seat, the connector 411 can be in the unfolded state.

[0208] In some embodiments, the user can manually rotate the connector 411 to an unfolded or retracted state. In some embodiments, a connector operating member 412 may be provided on one side of the base body 43, and the connector operating member 412 is connected to the connector 411 via a mechanical structure disposed at the bottom of the base body 43. During the movement from the initial position to the drive position, the connector operating member 412 can drive the connector 411 from the retracted state to the unfolded state via the aforementioned mechanical structure, and during the movement from the drive position to the initial position, it can also drive the connector 411 from the unfolded state to the retracted state via the aforementioned mechanical structure. The user can switch the connector 411 between the retracted and unfolded states using the connector operating member 412.

[0209] Optionally, when there is only one connector 411, the center line CA2 of the connecting device 41 can pass through the center of the connection position between the connector 411 and the base body 43 when the connector 411 is in the unfolded state. When there are two or more connectors 411, the connection positions between each connector 411 and the base 40 can form a geometric shape, and the center line CA2 of the connecting device 41 can pass through the geometric center of this geometric shape.

[0210] See Figure 40 and Figure 50 In one embodiment, the third reinforcing frame 223 is offset to one side by a predetermined interval d4 relative to the plug 411 along the longitudinal direction D1.

[0211] Because the connector 411 is fixedly connected to the vehicle seat fitting, when the vehicle 1000 is subjected to compression or impact, the housing body 10 tends to move relative to the vehicle seat. At this time, the connector 411 and the fitting are the main load-bearing components, while other parts of the housing body 10 mainly bear the torque around the connector 411. See [reference needed] on the side where the connector 411 is located. Figure 50The circumferential support extends longitudinally along D1, and the reinforcing frame A22 extends vertically along D3. Therefore, the support assembly 20 cooperates with the box body 10, providing good resistance to bending moment of inertia. This effectively counteracts the bending moment generated when one end of the carrier 1000 is compressed, reducing the deformation of the carrier 1000. When the carrier 1000 is subjected to compression or impact, the preset interval d4 between the third reinforcing frame 223 and the connector 411 acts as a resistance arm during the deformation process. The value of the resistance arm is not zero, which increases the stress required to cause deformation of the carrier 1000, thereby improving the carrier 1000's resistance to deformation.

[0212] Optional, see Figure 50 and Figure 51 In the example shown, there are two connectors 411, including a first connector 411a and a second connector 411b. The first connector 411a is closer to the end of the first portion 10a of the housing assembly 100 and farther from the end of the second portion 10b than the second connector 411b; the second connector 411b is closer to the end of the second portion 10b of the housing assembly 100 and farther from the end of the first portion 10a than the first connector 411a. In this embodiment, the center plane CA1 is located between the two connectors 411, the second connector 411b is located in the second portion 10b of the housing assembly 100, and the first connector 411a is located in the first portion 10a of the housing assembly 100. A third reinforcing frame 223 is located outside the two connectors 411. The second connector 411b is located near the third reinforcing frame 223. The distance between the center line CA21 at the root of the second connector 411b and the center line CA22 of the third reinforcing frame 223 along the longitudinal direction D1 is a preset distance d4. The center of gravity of the box body 10 is usually located on the center plane CA1. When the vehicle 1000 is fixed to the vehicle seat, the two connectors 411 are respectively connected to the two connecting accessories of the vehicle seat, and the center of gravity of the box body 10 is located between the two connecting accessories. During vehicle operation, the box body 10 will move with the vehicle seat. The connection method of this embodiment can reduce the bumps and swaying of the box body 10. Of course, the user can set the two connectors 411 on the same side of the center plane CA1 as needed (for example, set both connectors 411 on the side of the vehicle 1000 corresponding to the first part 10a of the box assembly 100), which is not limited here.

[0213] See Figure 50 In one embodiment, the third reinforcing frame 223 is located between the center plane CA1 and the second reinforcing frame 222.

[0214] When the vehicle 1000 is subjected to compression or impact, the housing body 10 will not only rotate around the connector 411, but also experience localized tensile and compressive deformation under stress at the location of the housing body 10 near the connector 411. The location of the greatest stress on the housing assembly 100 is usually near the connector 411, meaning the location of the greatest tensile and compressive deformation of the housing assembly 100 is close to the connector 411. The third reinforcing frame 223 is located between the center plane CA1 and the second reinforcing frame 222, thus reducing the distance between the third reinforcing frame 223 and the connecting device 41. The third reinforcing frame 223 will distribute the stress borne by the housing assembly 100, reducing stress concentration on the housing assembly 100, thereby reducing the deformation of the housing assembly 100, lowering the risk of damage to the housing assembly 100, and improving the safety of the vehicle 1000.

[0215] For example, such as Figure 50 As shown, there is one first reinforcing frame 221 and one second reinforcing frame 222, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the central plane CA1. The first reinforcing frame 221 and the second reinforcing frame 222 can respectively strengthen the structural strength of both sides of the vehicle 1000, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the vehicle 1000. In other embodiments, the first reinforcing frame 221 and the second reinforcing frame 222 may be of other quantities, such as two or three, etc., which are not limited here.

[0216] See Figure 50 In the longitudinal direction D1, the distance between the third reinforcing frame 223 and the center plane CA1 is less than the distance between the third reinforcing frame 223 and the second reinforcing frame 222. In one embodiment, there is one third reinforcing frame 223. In the longitudinal direction D1, the distance between the third reinforcing frame 223 and the second reinforcing frame 222 is greater than the distance between the third reinforcing frame 223 and the connecting device 41.

[0217] When the portion of the housing body 10 near the connector 411 is about to undergo tensile or compressive deformation, the third reinforcing frame 223 will also bear a certain amount of stress along with the deformation of the housing body 10. In this embodiment, the distance between the third reinforcing frame 223 and the connecting device 41 is smaller, thus it is closer to the stress concentration area. When the portion of the housing body 10 near the connector 411 is about to undergo tensile or compressive deformation, the third reinforcing frame 223 can share more stress, thereby reducing the stress concentration problem at the portion of the housing body 10 near the connector 411, reducing the deformation of the housing body 10, and lowering the risk of damage to the housing body 10.

[0218] It should be noted that there can be more than two third reinforcing frames 223. The two or more third reinforcing frames 223 can be distributed along the longitudinal direction D1. The two or more third reinforcing frames 223 can reinforce the vehicle 1000 in multiple places, further improving the structural strength of the vehicle 1000 and improving the safety of the vehicle 1000.

[0219] See Figure 42 and Figure 51 In some embodiments, the carrier 1000 further includes a locking lever 42 and a locking lever operating member 421. When the carrier 1000 is placed on a vehicle seat or a trolley, a fixed seat (not shown in the figure) may be pre-installed on the vehicle seat or trolley, and a locking mechanism (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the fixed seat. The locking mechanism is adapted to engage with the locking lever 42 to connect the carrier 1000 to the fixed seat.

[0220] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the base body 43 is provided with a retractable groove 4302, and the locking rod 42 has a retracted state housed in the retractable groove 4302 of the base body 43, and an extended state extending from the bottom wall of the base body 43. A locking rod operating member 421 may be provided on one side of the base body 43, and the locking rod operating member 421 is connected to the locking rod 42 via a mechanical structure arranged at the bottom of the base body 43. During the movement from the initial position to the driving position, the locking rod operating member 421 can drive the locking rod 42 from the retracted state to the extended state via the aforementioned mechanical structure, and during the movement from the driving position to the initial position, it can also drive the locking rod 42 from the extended state to the retracted state via the aforementioned mechanical structure. When it is not necessary to connect the carrier 1000 to the fixed base, the user can operate the locking rod operating member 421 to put the locking rod 42 in the retracted state. When it is necessary to connect the carrier 1000 to the fixed base, the user can operate the locking rod operating member 421 to put the locking rod 42 in the extended state.

[0221] In some embodiments, see Figure 52 The carrier 1000 may further include a canopy assembly 300, which can be attached to the housing assembly 100 to cover the top opening 110. The canopy assembly 300 may include a canopy fabric (not shown), two U-shaped canopy frames 31, and two connecting seats 32 connecting the two U-shaped canopy frames 31. The canopy fabric is connected to the two canopy frames 31. The canopy fabric may include windproof fabric, rainproof fabric, sunshade fabric, and / or breathable mesh fabric, depending on the intended use. The end of each canopy frame 31 is pivotally connected to the respective connecting seat 32 and is pivotable between a closed position and a fully open position. In this embodiment, when the canopy frame 31 is in the closed position, it is generally horizontal (parallel to the circumferential support), and when the canopy frame 31 is in the fully open position, it is generally vertical (parallel to the height direction D3). Optionally, the connector 32 can be connected to the connector base 211 by means of plugging or other methods, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the canopy assembly 300 and the bracket assembly 20.

[0222] In some embodiments, the carrier 1000 further includes a handle for a user to lift the carrier 1000. The two ends of the handle are pivotally connected to two connecting seats 32, and the handle is rotatable relative to the housing body 10. The two ends of the handle are approximately located on the central plane CA1, and each end of the handle is located between the ends of the two canopy frames 31 on corresponding sides.

[0223] See Figures 53 to 54 The housing assembly 100 may further include an outer base fabric 131. The outer base fabric 131 may include an outer wall fabric 1311 covering the outer side walls of the housing body 10 and the support assembly 20 and exposed to the outside, and an outer bottom wall fabric 1312 covering the outer bottom wall of the housing body 10. In this embodiment, the outer bottom wall fabric 1312 is sandwiched between the housing body 10 and the base body 43. Optionally, the outer bottom wall fabric 1312 may have pre-drilled holes for components such as the first fastener 444 and the second fastener 445 to pass through.

[0224] In some embodiments, the canopy can be connected to the outer support fabric 131 via a zipper connection, fastener assembly connection, or other means. See also Figure 53 and Figure 54 The outer surface of the outer base fabric 131 is provided with a first connector 133. A second connector (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the cover fabric, which is connected to the first connector 133, thereby improving the firmness of the connection between the cover fabric and the outer base fabric 131. For example, the first connector 133 and the second connector are a first fastener and a second fastener that engage with each other through a snap-fit ​​mechanism. The first fastener is located on the outer side of the outer base fabric 131. More specifically, the first fastener and the second fastener are magnetic fasteners that engage with each other, with the first fastener being a fastening seat. Of course, the connection method between the first connector and the second connector is not limited to magnetic connection; they can also be connected by snap-fit, snap-fit, or other methods, which are not limited here.

[0225] In some embodiments, see Figure 55 and Figure 56 The reinforcing frame A22 also includes a fourth reinforcing frame 224, which is connected to the bottom edge of the second reinforcing frame 222 and extends towards the short side 1022 of the peripheral wall of the housing body 10 near the second reinforcing frame 222. The fourth reinforcing frame 224 further improves the structural strength of the vehicle 1000 and enhances its resistance to deformation. (Reference) Figure 53 and Figure 55 The fourth reinforcing frame 224 is located inside the outer base fabric 131, and the first connector 133 is located outside the outer base fabric 131. In this embodiment, see [reference needed]. Figure 53 and Figure 58 The fourth reinforcing frame 224 is not set on the transverse center line of the box body 100 extending longitudinally on the transverse D2, but is offset on the transverse D2 towards the side where the connecting device 41 is located.

[0226] Optional, see Figure 53 The housing assembly also includes a traction member 15, which is connected to the reinforcing frame A22 and the first connector 133. In this embodiment, the traction member 15 is located inside the outer seat fabric 131, and is concealed after all parts of the carrier 1000 are installed. In this embodiment, the traction member 15 is connected to the first connector 133 via the outer seat fabric 131. More specifically, the traction member 15 is connected to the side of the reinforcing frame and the outer wall fabric 1311 where the first connector 133 is located. In this embodiment, the projection of the first connector 133 is located within the projection of the traction member 15 along the longitudinal direction D1. It should be understood that the first connector 133, a portion of the traction member 15, and a portion of the outer seat fabric 131 overlap along the longitudinal direction D1.

[0227] See Figure 53 and Figure 58 The connection position of the traction member 15 to the bracket assembly is along the transverse direction D2, closer to the side where the connecting device 41 is located relative to the first connector 133. Specifically, the traction member 15 extends obliquely in the transverse direction D2, with one end close to the first connector 133 and the other end extending along the transverse direction D2 toward the side where the connecting device 41 is located. The traction member 15 extends from the first connector 133 to the fourth reinforcing frame 224 along the shortest path. Thus, the traction member 15 is tensioned. The traction member 15 is connected to the fourth reinforcing frame 224 and the first connector 133 corresponding to the short side 1022 of the peripheral wall. When the vehicle 1000 is impacted, the vehicle 1000 may be squeezed, which may cause a risk of misalignment between the canopy assembly 300 and the box body 10, causing the first connector 133 and the second connector to tilt and generate a pulling force, which may cause the second connector and the first connector 133 to detach from each other, and the pet located inside the box body 10 may be thrown out. In this embodiment, the fourth reinforcing frame 224 is connected to the first connector 133 through the traction member 15. Since the traction member 15 is under tension, when the carrier 1000 is impacted, the impact force is transmitted to the fourth reinforcing frame 224 through the traction member 15. In this embodiment, the impact force is borne by the bracket assembly 20, reducing the misalignment and deformation of the housing body 10 and the roof assembly 300. Moreover, the inclined traction member 15 can also withstand the pulling force after the first connector 133 and the second connector tilt, thereby reducing the risk of loosening between the second connector and the first connector 133 and improving the reliability of the connection between the roof assembly 300 and the housing body 10. For example, the fourth reinforcing frame 224 is provided with a connector 2231 (e.g., a rivet). One end of the traction member 15 is provided with a socket hole, through which the connector 2231 passes and is connected to the fourth reinforcing frame 224. The other end of the traction member 15 is connected to the first connector 133 through the outer wall fabric 1311. The traction member 15 can be made of materials such as polyethylene (PE).

[0228] For example, the outer wall fabric 1311 may include a long side wall fabric corresponding to the long side 1021 of the peripheral wall and a short side wall fabric corresponding to the short side 1022 of the peripheral wall. The first connector 33 is disposed on the short side wall fabric located on the side where the second part 10b is located, and the fourth reinforcing frame 224 is also located on the outer surface of the second part 10b. The fourth reinforcing frame 224 can further improve the deformation resistance of the second part 10b. The first connector 133 located on the side where the second part 10b is located is connected to the reinforcing frame A22 via the traction member 15, which can improve the reliability of the connection between the canopy assembly 300 and the housing body at the second part 10b. Of course, the carrier 1000 may also be provided with the fourth reinforcing frame 224 and the first connector 133 on the side where the first part 10a is located, and the two can be connected via the traction member 15, which is not limited here.

[0229] Optional, see Figure 54 The first connector 133 has connecting rings 1332 on opposite sides, and the outer wall fabric 1311 has a connecting strap 1313 for mounting the first connector 133. The connecting strap 1313 passes through the two connecting rings 1332 of the first connector 133, and both ends of the connecting strap 1313 are fixedly connected to the outer wall fabric 1311, thereby connecting the first connector 133 to the outer wall fabric 1311. More specifically, the first connector 133 is connected to the outer wall fabric 1311 via the connecting strap 1313 (e.g., by sewing), and the traction member 15 is connected to the outer wall fabric 1311 (e.g., by sewing), and the first connector 133 and the traction member 15 overlap (i.e., projected along the longitudinal direction D1, the orthographic projection of the first connector 133 on its corresponding peripheral short side 1022 is located within the orthographic projection of the traction member 15 on the peripheral short side 1022). Optionally, the connecting strap 1313, the outer wall fabric 1311, and the traction member 15 can be sewn together at the same position after being stacked, thereby connecting the first connector 133, the outer wall fabric 1311, and the traction member 15. Of course, the first connector 133 can also be connected to the outer seat fabric 131 in other ways, which is not limited here.

[0230] In some embodiments, reference Figure 57 and Figure 58The base 40 also includes a fixing member 44. When the connector 411 is plugged into and fixed to the connecting accessories of the vehicle seat, if the vehicle 1000 is subjected to compression or impact, the connector 411 is the main stress-bearing component. The first end 441 of the fixing member 44 is connected to the bracket assembly 20, and the second end 442 is connected to the connector 411 (in this embodiment, the second end 442 of the fixing member 44 is connected to the second connector 411b). When the connector 411 bears a load, the fixing member 44 can transfer the force to the bracket assembly 20, and the bracket assembly 20 bears the stress. The bracket assembly 20 is usually made of metal, which has high strength and low risk of damage, thus improving the safety of the vehicle 1000. The fixing member 44 can be made of metal to improve the structural strength of the fixing member 44 and prevent the fixing member 44 from being damaged when transferring stress. Of course, the fixing member 44 can also be made of other materials with high tensile strength, which is not limited here.

[0231] Optionally, the first end 441 of the fastener 44 can be connected to the third reinforcing frame 223. For example, the fastener 44 is located between the third reinforcing frame 223 and the base body 43, and the first fastener 444 passes sequentially through the base body 43, the first end 441 of the fastener 44, and the third reinforcing frame 223, thereby fixing the first end 441 of the fastener 44 between the base body 43 and the third reinforcing frame 223. The second end 442 of the fastener 44 can be connected to a pivoting mechanism near the second connector 411b of the third reinforcing frame 223. For example, the second fastener 445 can thus pass through the pivoting mechanism, the second end 442 of the fastener 44, and the base body 43, thereby fixing the second end 442 of the fastener 44 to the pivoting mechanism and the base body 43. When the connector 411 is under force, the load can be transferred to the third reinforcing frame 223 through the pivoting mechanism and the fastener 44. In addition, the fastener 44 connects the third reinforcing frame 223 and the second connector 411b. The fastener 44 is relatively short, which reduces the risk of interference between the fastener 44 and other components.

[0232] In some embodiments, the fastener 44 further includes a third end 443, which is connected to the base 40 via a third fastener 446. After the third end 443 of the fastener 44 is connected to the base 40, the stability of the fastener 44 can be improved, preventing the fastener 44 from rotating around the first fastener 444 after being subjected to the force of the connector 411.
