[0121] The following is a description of the technical concept and connotation of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings and exemplary embodiments. In the drawings or descriptions, the same or similar parts are represented by the same or corresponding element symbols. The drawings are drawn to facilitate understanding, and the sizes and shapes of the elements in the drawings are not the actual sizes or proportional relationships of the elements.
[0122] It should be noted that when an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element and integrated therewith, or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. The terms "installation", "one end", "the other end" and similar expressions used in the present invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0123] First aspect
[0124] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which shows a schematic diagram of the appearance of an animal carrier (also referred to as a carrier) 100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure at different viewing angles. The animal carrier 100 comprises a carrying portion 110 , a support device 120 and a restraining device 130 .
[0125] The load-bearing portion 110 may be rectangular or square-ring shaped, which defines a load-bearing surface 110A for supporting an animal thereon. The load-bearing portion 110 can support an animal, and is made of a rigid material (such as metal, plastic, wood material, etc.) or a soft (i.e., flexible) material (such as fabric, etc.) according to actual application requirements. The bracket device 120 is used to support the load-bearing portion 110. The bracket device 120 may be made of metal or other materials with higher rigidity, and the form of each bracket thereof may be a hollow pipe or a solid rod, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The restraint device 130 is disposed on the load-bearing surface 110A to stably restrain the animal on the load-bearing surface 110A, and further provide support stability to the animal on the load-bearing surface 110A (to be further described below).
[0126] In this embodiment, the carrying portion 110 is substantially rectangular or square ring-shaped. Specifically, the carrying portion 110 has two opposite long sides 1101 and two opposite short sides 1102. The length of the long side 1101 of the carrying portion 110 (the length along the longitudinal direction D1 of the animal carrier 100) is greater than the length of the short side 1102 (the length along the transverse direction D2 of the animal carrier 100). The longitudinal direction D1 of the animal carrier 100 is also the longitudinal direction of the carrying portion 110, and the transverse direction D2 of the animal carrier 100 is also the transverse direction of the carrying portion 110. The long side 1101 of the carrying portion 110 corresponds to the long side of the animal carrier 100, and the short side 1102 of the carrying portion 110 corresponds to the short side of the animal carrier 100. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the length of the long side 1101 of the carrying portion 110 is, for example, substantially equal to the length of the short side 1102, that is, the carrying portion 110 may be substantially square.
[0127] See also Figure 3 , which shows a schematic diagram of the appearance of the animal carrier 100 from another perspective, for illustrating the structure of the support device 120 of the animal carrier 100. As shown in the figure, the support device 120 includes a first support 121, two second supports 122, and a third support 123. In some embodiments, each second support 122 is connected to the third support 123 through a first fixing component 124. The support device 120 is disposed on the bottom surface 111 of the load-bearing portion 110 (i.e., the opposite side of the load-bearing surface 110A). In the present disclosure, the support device 120 can not only provide the necessary support strength for the load-bearing portion 110 of the animal carrier 100, but also allows the animal carrier 100 to be fixed to a mobile device (such as a vehicle or a cart) by means of the support device.
[0128] like Figure 3As shown, the first bracket 121 is rectangular or square ring-shaped. Specifically, the first bracket 121 is mainly composed of two relatively long sides 1211 and two relatively short sides 1212 adjacent to each other. The two long sides 1211 can be respectively referred to as the first side and the third side, and the two short sides 1212 can be respectively referred to as the second side and the fourth side. The first bracket 121 corresponds to the size and shape of the bearing portion 110, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the corner 1213 where the long side 1211 and the short side 1212 of the first bracket 121 are connected is, for example, in the shape of an arc (e.g., a square ring). In other embodiments, the first bracket can also be generally square with four sides of approximately equal length adjacent to each other.
[0129] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, the first bracket 121 is combined with the carrying portion 110 and is disposed around the periphery of the carrying portion 110. The carrying portion 110 does not completely cover the first bracket 121, but exposes the four corners 1213 of the first bracket 121 and the middle position 12110 of the long side 1211, which can facilitate the caregiver or user to hold the animal carrier 100 with their hands, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. Optionally, the carrying portion 110 can be designed according to actual needs to expose other parts of the first bracket 121, or the carrying portion 110 can completely cover the first bracket 121. In addition, the carrying portion 110 can be a concave structure, that is, its bottom can be slightly lower than the plane formed by the first bracket 121, so as to form a deep accommodating space to facilitate carrying and supporting the animal therein.
[0130] The two second brackets 122 are connected to the first bracket 121 and are spaced apart from each other along the longitudinal direction D1, and are respectively located on both sides of the center line M1-M1 of the two long sides of the load-bearing portion 110. Each second bracket 122 is combined with the load-bearing portion 110, and extends from one long side of the load-bearing portion 110 to the other long side along the transverse direction D2. By spaced apart and arranging the two second brackets 122 in the longitudinal direction D1, the load-bearing of the load-bearing portion 110 can be dispersed and a stable support can be provided for the load-bearing portion 110, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity and impact resistance of the load-bearing portion 110. In some embodiments, the two second brackets 122 are symmetrically arranged about the center line M1-M1. In some alternative embodiments, the bracket device 120 can be provided with one or more second brackets 122. In some alternative embodiments, at least one second bracket 122 can extend along the longitudinal direction D1.
[0131] In this embodiment, each second bracket 122 includes a first crossbar 1221 , a pair of longitudinal bars 1222 , a second crossbar 1223 , and a pair of connecting portions 1224 .
[0132] like Figure 3As shown, the first crossbar 1221 is a bent bar, and its two ends are bent and have a profile corresponding to the concave structure of the bearing portion 110, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. Alternatively, the first crossbar 1221 can also be a straight bar, so that a gap can be formed between the bearing portion 110 with a concave structure as a avoidance space. Each first crossbar 1221 is connected to the two long sides 1211 of the first bracket 121, that is, the first crossbar 1221 is parallel to the transverse direction D2. The two first crossbars 1221 of the two second brackets 122 are separated from each other along the longitudinal direction D1, and are respectively located on both sides of the center line M1-M1.
[0133] The pair of longitudinal bars 1222 of the second bracket 122 are arranged parallel to each other, and one end of each of them is connected to the first cross bar 1221, and the other end of each of them is connected to the corresponding short side 1212 of the first bracket 121. The second cross bar 1223 is shorter than the first cross bar 1221, and both ends of each of them are connected to the pair of longitudinal bars 1222. In this embodiment, when viewed along the longitudinal direction D1, the pair of longitudinal bars 1222 of each second bracket 122 and the second cross bar 1223 form an H-shaped structure, which is connected between the first cross bar 1221 of each second bracket 122 and the short side 1212 of the first bracket 121, so as to further improve the bearing capacity and impact resistance of the bearing portion 110.
[0134] In this embodiment, the longitudinal rod 1222 may be in the form of a straight rod, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Optionally, the longitudinal rod 1222 may also be formed in a non-straight rod form. For example, one end of each longitudinal rod 1222 is bent and connected to the corresponding short side 1212, and a pair of longitudinal rods 1222 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center line M2-M2 of the two short sides of the bearing portion 110 (or, the two short sides 1212 of the first bracket 121), and can be formed into a rod with a zigzag form or a tapered form according to the height of the profile of the bearing portion 110 or the requirements of the bracket space.
[0135] See also Figure 3 , each second bracket 122 includes a pair of connecting parts 1224. The pair of connecting parts 1224 can be arranged at the connection between the second crossbar 1223 and the pair of longitudinal bars 1222, so as to facilitate the belt fixing system (such as each fixing belt assembly 500 described below) of the mobile device (such as a vehicle) to be connected thereto through a connector (such as by hooking), thereby fixing the animal carrier 100 in the mobile device (to be further described below). Alternatively, the pair of connecting parts 1224 of each second bracket 122 can also be arranged at any position on each second bracket 122 (such as the longitudinal bar and / or the second crossbar), as long as it can assist the belt fixing system to fix the animal carrier 100 in the mobile device. Each connecting part 1224 can be a connecting ring. In some embodiments, the connecting part 1224 can be arranged on the third bracket 123, for example.
[0136] In addition, in this embodiment, the connecting portion 1224 extends on each corresponding second bracket 122 in a direction away from the bottom surface 111, thereby forming a gap between the connecting portion 1224 and the bottom surface 111. In this way, when the animal carrier 100 of this embodiment is connected to the belt fixing system of the vehicle, the gap between the connecting portion 1224 and the bottom surface 111 provides a clearance space to prevent the connector of the belt fixing system from pressing upward against the bottom surface 111 and causing interference when the connector is connected to the connecting portion 1224.
[0137] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connecting portion 1224 extends toward the long side of the animal carrier 100 , so that the connecting portion 1224 is closer to the long side of the first bracket 121 , so as to facilitate connection with the connector of the belt fixing system.
[0138] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the second bracket 122 may not include the connecting portion 1224, and the connector of the belt-type fixing system may be directly connected or hooked to the first bracket 121. Alternatively, the connector of the belt-type fixing system may be directly connected or hooked to the third bracket 123, and may cooperate with a limiting structure (not shown, which may be provided on the connector itself or the third bracket 123) to limit the connection position of the connector hooked to the third bracket, and prevent the connector of the belt-type fixing system from sliding freely along the third bracket.
[0139] The third bracket 123 is located below the second bracket 122. The third bracket 123 can be connected to the second bracket 122 through the first fixing assembly 124. The third bracket 123 can be rectangular or square ring-shaped. In some embodiments, the third bracket 123 is used to cooperate with a snap-fit device (to be further described below) of a mobile device, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0140] See also Figure 3 Specifically, the third bracket 123 may include two opposite long sides 1231 and two opposite short sides 1232. Adjacent long sides 1231 and short sides 1232 are connected to each other. In some embodiments, the corner 1233 where the long side 1231 and the short side 1232 of the third bracket 123 are connected is, for example, in the shape of an arc (e.g., a square ring). Of course, the third bracket 123 of the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the third bracket 123 may also be substantially square with four sides of approximately equal length adjacent to each other. Figure 3 As shown, the third bracket 123 is smaller than the first bracket 121 and is substantially parallel to the first bracket 121. The third bracket 123 and the first bracket 121 are respectively substantially horizontally arranged, and the two are arranged up and down in the vertical direction. When the animal carrier 100 is in normal use, the third bracket 123 is located below the first bracket 121.
[0141] In some embodiments, the third bracket 123 is symmetrical with respect to the center line M1-M1, and the third bracket 123 is symmetrical with respect to the center line M2-M2. In some embodiments, the bracket device 120 is symmetrical with respect to the center line M1-M1, and with respect to the center line M2-M2.
[0142] In this embodiment, the third bracket 123 further includes a pair of limiting portions 123A and a reinforcing member 1230. The pair of limiting portions 123A are respectively arranged at the center of two long sides 1231 of the third bracket 123, and the diameter of each limiting portion 123A is slightly larger than the diameter of the rod body of the third bracket 123. The reinforcing member 1230 is connected to the center of the two opposite long sides 1231 to improve the strength of the third bracket 123.
[0143] In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 1230 may be a bent rod structure with two ends bent, that is, the central portion 12301 of the reinforcing member 1230 is arched relative to its two ends toward the bottom surface 111, and the reinforcing member 1230 is supported against the bottom surface 111 of the bearing portion 110 with its central portion 12301, thereby further strengthening the support for the bearing portion 110. In this embodiment, the third bracket 123 and the bearing portion 110 are not in contact with each other, but the present disclosure is not limited to this.
[0144] In this embodiment, the third bracket 123 is connected to the second bracket 122 through four first fixing components 124, and the four first fixing components 124 are symmetrically arranged relative to each other in the longitudinal direction D1 and the transverse direction D2. In other words, the four first fixing components 124 are arranged in pairs along the longitudinal direction D1 (i.e., they are respectively located on both sides of the center line M1-M1), and are arranged in pairs along the transverse direction D2 (i.e., they are respectively located on both sides of the center line M2-M2). Each first fixing component 124 includes a connecting bracket 12401 and a guide 12402, and the connecting bracket 12401 is correspondingly connected to the first crossbar 1221 of the second bracket 122, and the guide 12402 is engaged with the corresponding part of the third bracket 123, so as to connect each second bracket 122 and the third bracket 123. In this embodiment, through the symmetrical arrangement of the first fixing components 124, the overall stability of the bracket device 120 of the animal carrier 100 can be further improved, which is more conducive to the stable cooperation with the mobile device. For the specific structure of the first fixing component 124 and its variation structure, reference may be made to the detailed description in Chinese patent application No. 2022111059588 owned by the applicant, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and will not be elaborated here.
[0145] like Figure 3As shown, the support device 120 of the animal carrier 100 of this embodiment may further include a second fixing assembly 125. The second fixing assembly 125 connects the second crossbar 1223 in each second support 122 and the third support 123, so that the third support 123 has further stability relative to the second support 122. Specifically, the second fixing assembly 125 is connected to the midpoint of the second crossbar 1223 and the midpoint of the corresponding short side 1232 of the third support 123 to provide uniform support force and better stabilization effect.
[0146] In this embodiment, the first bracket 121, the second bracket 122, the third bracket 123, the first fixing assembly 124 and the second fixing assembly 125 are structural members connected together but independent of each other, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first bracket 121, the second bracket 122, the third bracket 123, the first fixing assembly 124 and the second fixing assembly 125 may be integrally formed as a whole or as a part thereof.
[0147] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the restraint device 130 is arranged on the bearing surface 110A of the bearing part 110, and is used to stably restrain the animal on the bearing part 110 to prevent the animal from moving arbitrarily and falling from the animal carrier 100. In this embodiment, the restraint device 130 includes two fixed buckles 131 and their corresponding buckles (also called belt connectors) 132. Through the interactive cooperation of the two fixed buckles 131 and the two corresponding buckles 132, a parallel or cross restraint method can be provided for the animal on the bearing surface 110A. The parallel restraint method means that after the two fixed buckles 131 are connected to the two buckles 132, the two fixed buckles 131 extend parallel to the animal's body. The cross restraint method means that after the two fixed buckles 131 are connected to the two buckles 132, the two fixed buckles 131 cross and extend across the animal's body. In some embodiments, the restraint device 130 can further cooperate with various ring designs on animal wear (such as pet vests) to provide several different restraint methods.
[0148] In some embodiments, the buckle 132 may be connected to the load-bearing portion 110 or the bracket device 120 , for example, via a belt 134 .
[0149] In this embodiment, each fixing strap 131 of the restraint device 130 is also provided with an adjuster 133, which is used to adjust the length of the fixing strap 131 to adapt to the animal's body shape, posture and restraint method, and provide the animal with a comfortable and stable restraint environment. The specific structure of the adjuster and the length adjustment method of the fixing strap with the adjuster are common knowledge understood by those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0150] See also Figure 4, which is a partial structural diagram of the animal carrier 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure when it is installed on the base B0 and thus fixed to the vehicle seat CS. Figure 4 The carrying portion 110 and the restraining device 130 of the animal carrier 100 are omitted, and only the support device 120 of the animal carrier 100 is shown.
[0151] like Figure 4 As shown, the third bracket 123 cooperates with the snap-fit structure B1 of the base B0, so that the animal carrier 100 can be installed on the base B0 through the cooperation between the third bracket 123 and the snap-fit structure B1. The cooperation between the third bracket 123 and the snap-fit structure B1 can be achieved by the engagement of the third bracket 123 with multiple snap-fit parts B11 (in this embodiment, four snap-fit parts B11) of the snap-fit structure B1. The base B0 can be placed on the vehicle floor through the support feet B2, and connected to the second fixing point CSF of the vehicle seat CS through multiple fixing devices B3, so that the animal carrier 100 is fixedly installed on the vehicle seat CS through the base B0. The fixing device B3 is, for example, an ISOFIX device (International Standards Organization FIX).
[0152] In this embodiment, the user can make the third bracket 123 engage with the engaging portion B11 at a desired position according to actual use needs, and limit the displacement of the animal carrier by the limiting portion 123A of the third bracket 123. In other words, after the base B0 is fixedly mounted to the vehicle seat CS with its supporting feet B2 and the fixing device B3, the animal carrier 100 can be fixed to the desired position on the vehicle seat CS along the longitudinal direction D1 by adjusting and limiting the engaging position of the third bracket 123 and the engaging portion B11. For example, by engaging the portion of the third bracket 123 located on either side of the reinforcement 1230 with the engaging portion B11, the animal carrier 100 can be installed on the right or left side of the vehicle seat CS accordingly. Or, by engaging the portion of the third bracket 123 located on both sides of the reinforcement 1230 with the engaging portion B11, the animal carrier 100 can be installed in the middle of the vehicle seat CS. In addition or alternatively, the animal carrier 100 can be further fixed to the vehicle seat by the vehicle seat belt system (to be further described below).
[0153] In addition to being mounted on the vehicle seat CS, the animal carrier 100 of this embodiment can also be mounted on a wheeled mobile device (such as a cart ST) having a seat assembly 200 to facilitate movement. Figure 5, which illustrates a partial structural diagram of the animal carrier 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure when it is installed on the cart ST. In this embodiment, the cart ST is a wheeled mobile device with a card holder assembly 200, and its structure and configuration have been described in detail in the Chinese patent application No. 2022113936156 owned by the applicant, which is incorporated herein by reference as a whole, so it will not be repeated here. In addition, in order to make the drawings concise and facilitate the description, Figure 5 The carrying portion 110 of the animal carrier 100 is omitted, and only the support device 120 of the animal carrier 100 is shown.
[0154] like Figure 5 As shown, the third bracket 123 cooperates with the card seat assembly 200 of the cart ST, so that the animal carrier 100 can be installed on the cart ST through the cooperation between the third bracket 123 and the card seat assembly 200. The cooperation between the third bracket 123 and the card seat assembly 200 can be achieved by the engagement of the third bracket 123 with multiple engaging parts 201 (in this embodiment, four engaging parts 201) of the card seat assembly 200. Specifically, in some embodiments, each engaging part 201 includes a recessed part 2012 and a retractable locking member 2011, and the locking member 2011 includes an inclined surface 2013. The third bracket 123 is guided by the inclined surface 2013 of the engaging part 201 and engaged in the recessed part 2012. In this embodiment, the card seat assembly 200 includes four engaging parts 201 (i.e., four recessed parts 2012), which means that four engaging points are formed between the third bracket 123 and the card seat assembly 200. In addition, in this embodiment, the third bracket 123 is generally engaged with the center position of the card seat assembly 200 in a manner corresponding to the center position of the third bracket 123, so as to maintain the center of gravity balance and overall stability of the animal carrier 100 and the cart ST; however, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Optionally, the user can adjust the engagement position of the third bracket 123 of the animal carrier 100 relative to the card seat assembly 200 according to actual application requirements (e.g., animal size, restraint method, etc.).
[0155] Second aspect
[0156] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the animal carrier 100 according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure, and is used to illustrate the matching method between the animal carrier 100 and the vehicle seat CS. Figures 1 to 3 The animal carrier 100 is also mounted to the base B0 (i.e. Figure 4The present embodiment differs from the previous embodiment mainly in that, in the present embodiment, the animal carrier 100 is further provided with a fixing belt assembly 500, which can further improve the stability of the animal carrier 100 when being fixed to the vehicle seat CS.
[0157] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing belt assembly 500 can be an upper fixing belt assembly (TopTether). The upper fixing belt assembly mainly includes two restraining belts 513 (the two restraining belts 513 are respectively a first tether 51301 and a second tether 51302), a length adjuster 527 and an extension belt (also called a connecting tether) 521. The first end of each restraining belt 513 (the first tether 51301 and the second tether 51302) is a first connecting end, and the first connecting end is connected to a first connector (also called a hook) 512. The second end of each restraining belt 513 (the first tether 51301 and the second tether 51302) is connected to the same side of the length adjuster 527. In this embodiment, the extension belt 521 uses its first end 5211 as an adjustment end, and the adjustment end extends through the other side of the length adjuster 527. The second end of the extension belt 521 opposite to its adjustment end is a second connecting end, and the second connecting end is connected to a second connector (also called a fixing hook) 524. The second connector 524 can be fixed to a first fixing point. The first fixing point is, for example, located above a rear seat of a vehicle, or the first fixing point is located behind the seat (e.g., at the bottom). Of course, the position of the first fixing point is not limited to the above definition.
[0158] In some embodiments, the other ends of the two restraining belts 513 are connected to each other to form an integral belt, and a hole 5270 is provided on the length adjuster 527, and the integral belt passes through the hole 5270. In other words, the length adjuster 527 divides the integral belt into two restraining belts 513 located on both sides of the length adjuster 527. In some embodiments, the length of each restraining belt 513 can be fixed. In some embodiments, the length of each restraining belt 513 can be adjusted.
[0159] See also Figure 7 Specifically, the first connectors 512 of the two restraint belts 513 (the first tether 51301 and the second tether 51302) are connected to two connecting portions (also called hooking portions) 1224 of the animal carrier 100 on the side facing away from the vehicle seat CS and facing the CSB. It can be understood that at this time, the first connectors 512 of the two restraint belts 513 are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction D1.
[0160] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7When the animal carrier 100 is engaged with the base B0 (the base B0 has been installed and fixed to the vehicle seat), one end of each restraint belt 513 (the first tether belt 51301 and the second tether belt 51302) is fixedly connected to the side of the second bracket 122 of the animal carrier 100 away from the seat back CSB through the cooperation of its respective first connector 512 and the corresponding connecting portion 1224. The other end of each restraint belt 513 passes over the long side 1211 of the first bracket 121 away from the seat back CSB and then extends backward toward the upper side of the vehicle seat CS to allow the second connector 524 of the extension belt 521 to be connected to the first fixing point.
[0161] In this embodiment, the length of each restraint belt 513 (the first tether 51301 and the second tether 51302) is fixed, and the user can pull the adjustment end of the extension belt 521 to change the position of the length adjuster 527 relative to the extension belt 521, thereby adjusting the effective use length of the extension belt 521, so that the fixing belt assembly 500 is tensioned, thereby adjusting the overall belt length of the fixing belt assembly 100 to adapt to the position of the fixing point in the vehicle. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the length of the extension belt 521 can be fixed, and the user adjusts the length of the first tether 51301 and the second tether 51302 with the length adjuster, thereby adjusting the overall belt length of the fixing belt assembly 500 to adapt to the fixing point above or at the bottom of the rear seat of the vehicle. The specific structure of the length adjuster and the length adjustment method of the connecting webbing with the length adjuster are common knowledge understood by those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0162] In this embodiment, the fixing belt assembly 500 may further include a support structure 514 (see Figure 6 ), the support structure 514 is connected between the first tether 51301 and the second tether 51302. For example, the support structure 514 is a support mesh, and is connected between the first tether 51301 and the second tether 51302 by, for example, sewing. In some embodiments, the support mesh has, for example, a trapezoidal shape. Thus, the support structure 514 can prevent the animal carried on the animal carrier 100 from rolling over when the vehicle suddenly changes in speed, and protect the animal from being injured when the vehicle suddenly changes in speed or is hit. At the same time, the support mesh does not obstruct the driver's or caregiver's line of sight, allowing the driver or caregiver to observe the real-time situation of the animal on the animal carrier 100 in a timely manner.
[0163] The third aspect
[0164] See also Figure 8 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the animal carrier 100 according to the third embodiment of the present disclosure, and is used to illustrate another matching method between the animal carrier 100 and the vehicle seat CS. Figures 1 to 3The animal carrier 100 is also mounted to the base B0 (i.e. Figure 4 The main difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that in this embodiment, the fixing belt assembly 500 is a tether assembly (Tether), which can cooperate with the vehicle seat backrest CSB or headrest HR, thereby further improving the stability of the animal carrier 100 fixed to the vehicle seat CS.
[0165] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing belt assembly 500 mainly includes two restraining belts 513 (the two restraining belts 513 are respectively a first strap 5131 and a second strap 5132), and a length adjuster 5135. The first end 51311 of the first strap 5131 and the first end 51321 of the second strap 5132 are respectively first connecting ends (also called fixed ends), and the first connecting ends are respectively connected to first connectors (also called hooks) 512 (the first connectors 512 are not shown due to obstruction). Figure 8 For details, please refer to Figure 7 5135). The second end 51312 of the first tether 5131 and the second end 51322 of the second tether 5132 are connected to both sides of the length adjuster 5135. In this embodiment, the second end of at least one of the first tether 5131 and the second tether 5132 serves as an adjustment end, and the adjustment end extends through the length adjuster 5135. By pulling the adjustment end, the length of the restraint belt 513 can be adjusted.
[0166] In this embodiment, similar to Figure 7 The first connector 512 of the two restraint belts 513 (the first tether 5131 and the second tether 5132) can be connected to the corresponding connecting portion (also called hooking portion) 1224 ( Figure 8 Not shown, see Figure 7 The second tether 5132 is mounted on the headrest HR to form a support point with the vehicle seat headrest HR, so that the animal carrier 100 is more firmly installed on the vehicle seat CSB. The headrest HR is used to be abutted against the second tether 5132 as a fixing point.
[0167] See also Figure 8When the animal carrier 100 is engaged with the installed base B0, the first end 51311 of the first strap 5131 is connected to the corresponding connecting portion 1224 of the second bracket 122 through its first connector 512, so that the fixing belt assembly 500 is fixedly connected to the side of the second bracket 122 of the animal carrier 100 away from the seat back with the first end 51311 of the first strap 5131 to form a first connecting end (also called a first fixed end). The user can extend the first end 51321 of the second tether 5132 toward the top of the vehicle seat CS, wrap around the rear of the seat headrest HR and rest against the headrest HR (or between the headrest HR and the backrest), forming a support point (also called a first fixed point) between the second tether 5132 and the headrest HR, and then further extend the first end 51321 of the second tether 5132 downward toward the vehicle seat CS. Finally, the first end 51321 of the second tether 5132 is fixedly connected to the side of the second bracket 122 of the animal carrier 100 away from the seat backrest through its first connector 512 to form another first connection end (also called a second fixed end). Similarly, in this embodiment, the user can pull the second end 51312, 51322 of the first strap 5131 or the second strap 5132 to change the position of the length adjuster 5135 relative to the first strap 5131 and / or the second strap 5132, and adjust the effective use length of the first strap 5131 or the second strap 5132, thereby adjusting the overall length of the restraint strap 513 of the fixed strap assembly 500 to adapt to the position of the seat headrest HR. The specific structure of the length adjuster and the length adjustment method of the first strap or the second strap with the length adjuster are common knowledge understood by those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0168] Similarly, in the present embodiment, the fixing belt assembly 500 may further include a supporting structure 514 (e.g., a supporting mesh) connected between the first strap 5131 and the second strap 5132 to prevent the animal carried on the animal carrier 100 from rolling over when the vehicle speed changes, and to allow the driver or caregiver to observe the real-time situation of the animal on the animal carrier 100 in a timely manner.
[0169] The fourth aspect
[0170] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.15, shows a schematic structural diagram of an animal carrier 100 according to an embodiment of the fourth aspect of the present disclosure. In the absence of conflict, the animal carrier 100 in this embodiment may have the same structure as the aforementioned animal carrier 100. The difference from the aforementioned animal carrier 100 mainly includes that in this embodiment, a pair of longitudinal bars 1222 in each second bracket 122 of the animal carrier 100 is formed as a bar having a zigzag form or tapering toward the short side of the carrier. Compared with the aforementioned embodiment, each longitudinal bar 1222 is arranged relatively closer to the long side of the animal carrier 100.
[0171] like Fig.12 As shown, more specifically, taking any second bracket 122 as an example, the first end of each longitudinal rod 1222 is connected to the first crossbar 1221, and the second end is connected to the short side 1212 of the first bracket 121. The two longitudinal rods 1222 are, for example, symmetrically arranged about the center line M2-M2. Fig.10 and Fig.12 , the two longitudinal rods 1222 of the second bracket 122 are not parallel to each other. The distance between the first ends of the two longitudinal rods 1222 is greater than the distance between the second ends. In some embodiments, each longitudinal rod 1222 may have a zigzag shape, or the two longitudinal rods 1222 form a shape that gradually shrinks toward the short side 1212. In some embodiments, the first end of each longitudinal rod 1222 is closer to the long side 1211 adjacent to the longitudinal rod 1222 relative to its second end. In some embodiments, the longitudinal rod 1222 is closer to the long side 1211 of the first bracket 121 and away from the center line M2-M2.
[0172] In addition, the animal carrier 100 is further configured with a fixing belt assembly 500 and a connecting assembly 560. The animal carrier 100 is fixed to the corresponding fixing points of the vehicle seat CS through the fixing belt assembly 500 and the connecting assembly 560. For ease of description, Fig.10 The carrying portion 110 (support plate) and the restraining device 130 of the animal carrier 100 are omitted for clarity of the drawing and convenience of description.
[0173] In this embodiment, the fixing belt component 500 may be, for example, a top fixing belt component (Top Tether), and the connecting component 560 may be, for example, a LATCH (Lower Anchors Tether for Children) system.
[0174] Specifically, Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing belt assembly 500 has the same configuration and structure as the fixing belt assembly 500 in the second embodiment, that is, it also includes two restraining belts 513 (first tether and second tether), a length adjuster 527, an extension belt (also called a connecting tether) 521, a second connector (also called a fixing hook) 524, a supporting structure 514 and a first connector (also called a hook) 512, etc. The animal carrier 100 is fixed to the first fixing point through the second connector 524 of the fixing belt assembly 500. The first fixing point is, for example, located above the rear seat of the vehicle or behind the seat (for example, the bottom). Of course, the implementation of the first fixing point is not limited to this. In addition to the fixing belt assembly 500, the animal carrier 100 is further connected to the second fixing point CSF of the vehicle seat CS through the connecting member of the connecting assembly 560. The setting of the connecting assembly 560 and the matching method with the animal carrier 100 and the fixing belt assembly 500 of the present disclosure will be further described below.
[0175] Fig.11 A perspective view of a strap assembly 500 and a connection assembly 560 is shown, wherein one embodiment of the connection assembly 560 is shown. Fig.12 The animal carrier 100 is shown Fig.11 The top view of the fixing belt assembly 500 and the connecting assembly 560 shown is installed to the vehicle seat CS. For ease of explanation, Fig.12 The carrying portion 110 and the restraining device 130 of the animal carrier 100 are omitted. Fig.13 Shows Fig.12 Enlarged view of point A in .
[0176] In this embodiment, the fixing belt assembly 500 and the connecting assembly 560 are two separate components, which are connected to the support device 120 of the animal carrier 100 by their respective connectors or connecting members (such as hooks or buckles).
[0177] In detail, Fig.11As shown, the fixing belt assembly 500 has the same composition and configuration as the aforementioned fixing belt assembly 500, namely, it includes: two restraining belts 513 (the two restraining belts are respectively a first tether and a second tether), a length adjuster 527 and an extension belt (also called a connecting belt) 521. The first ends of the first tether and the second tether are respectively connected to a first connector (also called a hook) 512. The second ends of the first tether and the second tether are respectively connected to the same side of the length adjuster 527. The extension belt 521 extends through the other side of the length adjuster 527 with its first end to form an adjustment end (not shown in the figure), and the second end of the extension belt 521 opposite to the adjustment end is connected to a second connector (also called a fixed hook) 524, and the second connector 524 is used to be fixed to a first fixed point (not shown in the figure), and the first fixed point is, for example, located above the rear seat of the vehicle or behind the seat (for example, at the bottom). Optionally, the fixing belt assembly 500 may further include a supporting structure 514 (shown in Fig.12 ), the support structure 514 is connected between the first and second straps. The support structure 514 is, for example, a support mesh to protect the animal from being injured due to a sudden change in vehicle speed or a collision with the vehicle, and allows the driver or caregiver to observe the real-time situation of the animal on the animal carrier 100 in a timely manner.
[0178] See also Fig.12 and Fig.13 , one end of the connection assembly 560 is connected to the bracket device 120, and the other end of the connection assembly 560 is connected to the second fixing point CSF of the vehicle seat. More specifically, the connection assembly 560 mainly includes two connection straps 561, and the two connection straps 561 are separated from each other. One end of each connection strap 561 serves as a third connection end, and each third connection end is respectively provided with a first connection member 562. The other end of each connection strap serves as a fourth connection end (also called a fixed end), and each fourth connection end is respectively provided with a second connection member 563.
[0179] The first connector 562 is, for example, connected to the connecting portion 1224 on the second bracket 122. The second connector 563 is used to connect to the second fixing point CSF of the vehicle seat CS. The second fixing point CSF is, for example, but not limited to, an ISOFIX connection point on the vehicle seat CS. In some embodiments, each connecting webbing 561 may be an elastic belt. In some embodiments, the connecting assembly 560 may include an adjuster for adjusting the length of the connecting webbing 561. In some embodiments, each connecting webbing 561 may be provided with an adjuster for adjusting the length. In some embodiments, the first connector 562 and the second connector 563 may be, but not limited to, hooks.
[0180] like Fig.12 and Fig.13As shown, in this embodiment, the animal carrier 100 is placed flat on the vehicle seat CS, and the long side direction of its load-bearing portion 110 (i.e., one long side 1211 of the first bracket) is against the seat backrest CSB. The fourth connection end of each connecting webbing 561 of the connecting assembly 560 is connected to the second fixing point CSF (located at the bottom of the backrest, not shown in the figure) of the vehicle seat CS by the second connecting member 563. Each connecting webbing 561 extends along the transverse direction D2 below the bracket device 120 (specifically, below the long side 1211 of the first bracket and the third bracket 123), and is hooked and connected to the corresponding connecting portion 1224 of the second bracket 122 through its respective first connecting member 562. Each restraint belt 513 (the first tether and the second tether) of the fixing belt assembly 500 is connected to the corresponding connecting portion 1224 through the first connector 512, and extends upward and further extends to the seat backrest or the rear of the seat.
[0181] In this embodiment, a pair of longitudinal rods 1222 of each second bracket 122 is arranged relatively close to the long side of the animal carrier 100, so that the user can hook and fix the first connector 512 to the corresponding connecting portion 1224. At the same time, since the longitudinal rod 1222 is formed as a rod having a zigzag form or tapering toward the short side of the carrier, the connection of the longitudinal rod 1222 to the corresponding short side 1212 of the first bracket is not affected. The fixing belt assembly 500 is fixed to a first fixing point (not shown) through the second connector 524. The first fixing point is, for example, located above the rear seat of the vehicle or behind the seat (for example, the bottom). The first fixing point can be on the rear side of the seat or at other locations outside the seat.
[0182] In this embodiment, the connecting component 560 is fixed to the second fixing point of the vehicle seat through two second connecting members 563, and is fixed to the first fixing point above the rear seat of the vehicle through the second connector 524. In conjunction with the adjustment of the overall length and tightness of the fixing belt component 500 (for example, using a length adjuster to adjust the length of the extension belt 521 or each restraint belt 513), and the adjustment of the length and tightness of each connecting webbing 561 of the connecting component 560 (for example, the connecting component 560 further includes a length adjuster to adaptively adjust the length of the connecting webbing 561), the bracket device 120 can be effectively fixed and clamped, so that the animal carrier 100 is stably fixed to the vehicle seat, thereby reducing the shaking of the animal carrier 100.
[0183] Fig.14 A perspective view of a fixing assembly 500 and a connecting assembly 560 is shown, wherein another embodiment of the connecting assembly 560 is shown. Fig.15 The animal carrier 100 is shown Fig.14 The fixing belt assembly 500 and the connecting assembly 560 are shown in a top view installed in the vehicle seat CS. For ease of explanation, Fig.15The carrying portion 110 and the restraining device 130 of the animal carrier 100 are omitted. Fig.16 Shows Fig.15 Enlarged view of point B in .
[0184] Depend on Fig.14 As can be seen in the figure, the fixing belt assembly 500 and the connecting assembly 560 of the animal carrier 100 are inseparable from each other and form an integrated structure. That is, one end of the connecting assembly 560 is connected to the fixing belt assembly 500, and the other end of the connecting assembly 560 is used to connect to the second fixing point CSF of the vehicle seat.
[0185] In detail, Fig.14 As shown, the fixing belt assembly 500 has the same composition and configuration as the aforementioned fixing belt assembly 100, namely, it includes: two restraining belts 513 (the two restraining belts are respectively the first tether and the second tether), a length adjuster 527 and an extension belt (also called a connecting tether) 521. The first ends of the first tether and the second tether are respectively connected to a first connector (also called a hook) 512. The second ends of the first tether and the second tether are respectively connected to the same side of the length adjuster 527. The extension belt 521 extends through the other side of the length adjuster 527 with its first end to form an adjustment end (not shown in the figure), and the second end of the extension belt 521 opposite to the adjustment end is connected to a second connector (also called a fixing hook) 524, and the second connector 524 is used to be fixed to a first fixing point (not shown in the figure). The first fixing point is, for example, located above the rear seat of the vehicle or behind the seat (for example, the bottom). Of course, the implementation of the first fixing point is not limited thereto. Optionally, the fixing belt assembly 500 may further include a supporting structure (not shown in the figure), which is connected between the first tether and the second tether. The support structure includes, for example, a support mesh to protect the animal from being injured due to a sudden change in vehicle speed or a collision with the vehicle, and to allow the driver or caregiver to observe the real-time situation of the animal on the animal carrier 100 in a timely manner.
[0186] In this embodiment, the connection assembly 560 mainly includes two connection straps 561, and one end 561A of each connection strap 561 serves as a third connection end, and the third connection end is fixedly connected to the first connection end (i.e., the end with the first connector 512) of the first strap and the second strap of the fixing belt assembly 500 respectively by, for example, but not limited to, sewing, bonding, gluing or integral molding. Thus, the connection assembly 560 and the fixing belt assembly 500 form an integral structure and are inseparable from each other. The other end of each connection strap 561 serves as a fourth connection end (also called a fixed end), and each fourth connection end is provided with a second connection member 563. The second connection member 563 is used to connect to the corresponding second fixed point CSF.
[0187] like Fig.15 and Fig.16As shown, in this embodiment, the animal carrier 100 is placed flat on the vehicle seat CS, and the long side direction of its carrying part 110 (i.e., one long side 1211 of the first bracket 121) is against the seat back CSB. The fourth connection end of each connecting webbing 561 of the connecting assembly 560 is connected to the second fixing point CSF (not shown in the figure) of the vehicle seat CS by the second connecting member 563. Each connecting webbing 561 extends along the transverse direction D2 below the bracket device 120 (specifically, below the long side 1211 of the first bracket and the third bracket 123), and is against the other long side 1211 of the first bracket 121 away from the seat back CSB through two restraint belts 513 (first tether and second tether). The first connector 512 of the fixing belt assembly 500 is hooked and connected to the corresponding connecting portion 1224 respectively. After the first tether and the second tether extend upward, they further extend toward the seat back or the rear of the seat, and are fixed to the first fixing point (not shown in the figure) by the second connector 524 at the far end of the extension belt 521. The first fixing point is, for example, located above a rear seat of the vehicle or behind (eg, at the bottom) the seat.
[0188] In this embodiment, the two second connecting members 563 of the connecting assembly 560 are fixed to the second fixing point of the vehicle seat, and the second connector 524 is fixed to the first fixing point. In conjunction with the adjustment of the overall length and tightness of the fixing belt assembly 500 (for example, using a length adjuster to adjust the length of the extension belt 521 or each restraint belt 513), and the adjustment of the length and tightness of the connecting webbing 561 of the connecting assembly 560, the bracket device 120 can be effectively fixed and clamped, so that the bracket device 120 is firmly clamped in the triangular area defined by the fixing belt assembly 500, the connecting assembly and the vehicle seat, so that the animal carrier 100 is stably fixed to the vehicle seat, and the shaking of the animal carrier 100 is reduced.
[0189] In some embodiments, each restraint belt 513 and the corresponding connecting webbing 561 are a whole belt, and each first connector 512 can be adjusted in position on the whole belt. The first connector 512 divides the whole belt into the restraint belt 513 located on one side of the first connector 512 and the connecting webbing 561 located on the other side of the first connector 512. In some embodiments, the first connector 512 can slide along the whole belt. In some embodiments, the first connector 512 can have a mounting hole 5120, and the whole belt extends through the mounting hole 5120 of the corresponding first connector 512.
[0190] Fifth Aspect
[0191] The animal carrier of the present disclosure can further cooperate with the vehicle seat belt system to improve the stability of the animal carrier in the vehicle. Fig.17 and Fig.18, which illustrates a schematic structural diagram of an animal carrier 100 according to an embodiment of the fifth aspect of the present disclosure. In the absence of conflict, the animal carrier 100 in this embodiment has a configuration and composition similar to the animal carrier 100 in the previous embodiment, including: a load-bearing portion 110 (support plate), a bracket device 120 and its components, a restraining device 130, etc. It should be understood that for the sake of simplicity of the drawings and clarity of the description, the illustration of the load-bearing portion (support plate) has been omitted in the drawings, and only the detailed structure of the bracket device 120 is shown.
[0192] like Fig.17 As shown, the animal carrier 100 of this embodiment is placed flat on the vehicle seat CS, and a long side of its load-bearing portion (i.e., a long side 1211 of the first bracket) is against the seat back CSB. In this embodiment, the animal carrier 100 can be fixed on the vehicle seat CS by using a pulled-out vehicle safety belt (e.g., a rear seat safety belt) 170 in combination with the bracket device 120 of the animal carrier 100.
[0193] See also Fig.17 The animal carrier 100 includes two left and right second brackets 122. The second bracket 122 on the left side of the seat CS is connected to the third bracket 123 through two front and rear first fixing components 124, which are respectively a first fixing component 1242 on the left front side and a first fixing component 1244 on the left rear side. The second bracket 122 on the right side of the seat CS is also connected to the third bracket 123 through two front and rear first fixing components 124, which are respectively a first fixing component 1241 on the right front side and a first fixing component 1243 on the right rear side. In addition, each second bracket 122 is also connected to the third bracket 123 through a second fixing component 125. Specifically, the second bracket 122 on the left side of the seat CS is connected to one short side of the third bracket 123 through the second fixing component 1252 on the left side, and the second bracket 122 on the right side of the seat CS is connected to the other short side of the third bracket 123 through the second fixing component 1251 on the right side.
[0194] Specifically, the vehicle safety belt 170 is generally divided into a shoulder belt 171 and an abdominal belt (or waist belt) 172 by a safety belt buckle, and the safety belt buckle is used to buckle with a safety belt female buckle on a seat. Fig.17 The vehicle safety belt 170 on the right side of the vehicle is taken as an example to illustrate the fixing of the animal carrier 100 by the vehicle safety belt 170 .
[0195] In this embodiment, the shoulder belt 171 extends forward (i.e., the direction of vehicle travel) after being pulled out, and after hitting the long side 1211 of the first bracket 121 away from the seat back CSB, it extends to the bottom of the first bracket 821 and the second bracket 822, and is further extended toward the seat back through the guidance of the second fixing component 1252 on the left.
[0196] like Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown, the abdominal belt 172 is pulled out between the second bracket 122 and the third bracket 123, and is guided by the second fixing assembly 1251 on the right side and the first fixing assembly 1241 on the right front side, and then extends along the longitudinal direction D1, and is guided by the first fixing assembly 1242 on the left front side, the second fixing assembly 1252 on the left side, and the first fixing assembly 1244 on the left rear side, and extends to the position close to the seat backrest CSB. The abdominal belt 172 and the shoulder belt 171 are connected to the seat belt buckle (not shown) fixed to the seat through the seat belt buckle. Through the cooperation between the vehicle seat belt 170 and the bracket device 120, the seat belt 170 touches various parts of the bracket device 120 to form a number of support points for the bracket device 120, and the animal carrier 100 can be stably fixed to the vehicle seat CS. In this way, the fixing belt assembly 500 and the connecting assembly 560 in the above-mentioned fifth aspect embodiment can be omitted.
[0197] The sixth aspect
[0198] See also Fig.19 and Fig. 20 , which illustrates a schematic structural diagram of an animal carrier 100 according to an embodiment of the sixth aspect of the present disclosure from different perspectives. In the absence of conflict, the animal carrier 100 of this embodiment can refer to the animal carrier 100 in the above-mentioned embodiment. The animal carrier 100, like the embodiment of the fifth aspect, can be matched with a vehicle safety belt 170 to be fixed on a vehicle seat CS. The vehicle safety belt 170 can be used as a fixing belt assembly to fix the animal carrier 100 to the vehicle seat CS.
[0199] The difference from the fifth embodiment is that the animal carrier 100 of this embodiment can be further fixed by a webbing support assembly 180, that is, the fixing belt assembly for fixing the animal carrier 100 can include the webbing support assembly 180. The webbing support assembly 180 cooperates with the vehicle safety belt 170 to make the shoulder belt 171 extend and clamp the bracket device 120 of the animal carrier 100 more stably, and can cooperate with the bracket device 120 to provide additional support points, so that the animal carrier 100 can be more stably fixed to the vehicle seat.
[0200] In detail, the webbing support assembly 180 includes a connecting webbing 181 and a guide clamp 182, wherein the connecting webbing 181 is connected to the guide clamp 182. The guide clamp 182 has a channel 1821 through which the shoulder strap 171 extends, and the guide clamp 182 is used to be detachably connected to the shoulder strap 171. Connectors 1811 are provided at both ends of the connecting webbing 181 to connect to the bracket device 120.
[0201] In some embodiments, the guide clamp 182 has a hole 1820, and the middle part of the connecting webbing 181 passes through the hole 1820, so that the guide clamp 182 divides the connecting webbing 181 into two parts. The ends of the two parts of the connecting webbing 181 that are away from each other are respectively provided with connecting members 1811, and the connecting members 1811 are, for example, hooks, but are not limited thereto.
[0202] The connecting webbing 181 extends through the guide clamp 182 and then turns, so that the two ends of the connecting webbing 181 can extend in a direction away from the vehicle seat backrest CSB and abut against the long side 1211 of the first bracket 121 away from the backrest CSB. Then, the two ends of the connecting webbing 181 are respectively connected to the corresponding connecting portion (also called hooking portion) 1224 (for example, the connecting portion on the side away from the seat backrest CSB) of the second bracket through the connecting member 1811.
[0203] The guide clip 182 is clamped at a suitable position of the seat belt shoulder strap 171 to adjust the tension of the connecting webbing 181. By adjusting the tension, the connecting webbing 181 can clamp the bracket device 120 and provide two additional support points at the first bracket 121, further strengthening the fixing ability of the animal carrier to the vehicle seat.
[0204] Seventh Aspect
[0205] Fig.21 The present invention shows a perspective view of an animal carrier (also called a carrier) 100 according to a seventh aspect of the present invention being installed on a vehicle seat CS through a base (also called a fixing seat assembly) B0 and a fixing belt assembly 500. In the absence of conflict, the structure of the animal carrier 100 can refer to the structure of the animal carrier 100 in the previous embodiment, and the structure of the base B0 can refer to the structure of the base B0 in the previous embodiment. This embodiment mainly modifies the fixing belt assembly 500, and the fixing belt assembly 500 in this embodiment includes a restraining belt assembly 51 and an extension belt assembly (also called an extension component) 52. Fig. 22 The figure shows an exploded perspective view of the fixing belt assembly 500. In some embodiments, the restraining belt assembly 51 and the extension belt assembly 52 are detachably connected by a first adapter 511 and a second adapter 523.
[0206] Specifically, the animal carrier 100 is shown as a stretcher, and the animal carrier 100 may include a load-bearing portion 110, a support device 120, and a restraining device (also known as a strap) 130. The load-bearing portion 110 defines a load-bearing surface. The support device 120, for example, includes a first support 121, a second support 122, and a third support 123. The first support 121 and the third support 123 are generally arranged in parallel and in an annular structure, and the size of the third support 123 may be smaller than that of the first support 121. The first support 121 and the third support 123 are connected by the second support 122, and the second support 122 may have a rod ( Fig.21 The third bracket 123 of the bracket device 120 is detachably engaged with the plurality of engaging portions B11 of the base B0. The bearing portion 110 is connected to the bracket device 120 (e.g., the first bracket 121), for example, to support a pet. The bearing portion 110 is made of a rigid material (e.g., a metal plate, a plastic plate) or a flexible material (e.g., a canvas) according to actual application requirements.
[0207] See also Fig. 22 In some embodiments, the restraint belt assembly 51 includes, for example, a first connector 511 and at least one first connector 512, and the first connector 511 and each first connector 512 may be connected by at least one restraint belt 513. The first connector 512 may be, but is not limited to, a hook. Each restraint belt 513 may be a webbing with relatively large elastic force. Of course, the restraint belt 513 may also be an ordinary webbing.
[0208] In this embodiment, the restraint belt assembly 51 has two first connectors 512 and two restraint belts 513. In some embodiments, the two restraint belts 513 can be the same belt, and the two first connectors 512 are arranged at both ends of the same belt. The first connector 511 can have a hole 5110 for the same belt to pass through, and the middle of the same belt is slidably matched with the hole 5110, so that the position of the first connector 511 on the restraint belt 513 is adjustable. That is, the first connector 511 divides the same belt into two restraint belts 513. The two first connectors 512 can be connected to the two connecting parts 1224 of the animal carrier 100 away from the back CSB. In some embodiments, the first connector 512 is, for example, an ISOFIX plug-in to be detachably connected to the second fixing point of the vehicle seat (for example, but not limited to an ISOFIX socket). Of course, the type of the first connector 512 is not limited to the ISOFIX plug-in, and it can be any suitable type such as a hook body, a buckle, etc.
[0209] In some embodiments, the restraint belt assembly 51 may also include a support structure 514 (see Fig.21 , Fig. 22The support structure 514 is omitted in the figure. As described in the previous embodiment, the support structure 514 can be a support net connected between the two restraining belts 513.
[0210] The extension belt assembly 52 includes, for example, an extension belt 521, an adjuster (also called an adjustment part) 522, a second adapter 523, and a second connector 524. The extension belt 521 is, for example, a webbing, and the second adapter 523 and the second connector 524 are connected to the extension belt 521 respectively. The second adapter 523 is used to be detachably connected to the first adapter 511 of the restraint belt assembly 51. In some embodiments, the second adapter 523 and the first adapter 511 can be, for example, any suitable structure such as a buckle or hook that cooperates with each other. The second connector 524 is, for example, a fixed hook, which is used to be detachably connected to a suitable structure in the vehicle (for example, a connection structure on the top of the vehicle seat, or a connection structure on the back side of the vehicle seat CS, such as a connecting rod). The connection structure for connecting with the second connector 524 can also be called an anchor point or a first fixed point. The second connector 524 can be, for example, but not limited to a hook body, a buckle, etc. The adjuster 522 is arranged on the extension belt 521, and is used to adjust the available length of the extension belt 521 between the second adapter 523 and the second connector 524.
[0211] In actual use, the connection position of the first connector 511 and the second connector 523 is located at a place convenient for users to operate, such as near the top of the backrest CSB or located at the front side of the backrest CSB. In this way, the user can conveniently operate the connection or separation of the first connector 511 and the second connector 523 to conveniently fix the animal carrier 100 to the vehicle seat CS or remove it from the vehicle seat CS.
[0212] Eighth Aspect
[0213] Fig.23 A perspective view of an animal carrier 100 according to an eighth embodiment of the utility model is shown, which is installed on a vehicle seat CS through a fixing belt assembly 500. This embodiment is a variation of the seventh embodiment described above. In the absence of conflict, the structures of the animal carrier 100 and the fixing belt assembly 500 in this embodiment can refer to the description in the seventh embodiment described above.
[0214] See also Fig.23 The animal carrier (also referred to as carrier) 100 of this embodiment is mounted on the vehicle seat CS only by the fixing belt assembly 500. The first connector 512 ( Fig.23After being arranged around the long side 1211 of the bracket device 120 away from the back CSB, it extends from the bottom of the animal carrier 100 to the back CSB, and each first connector 512 can be detachably connected to the corresponding ISOFIX socket of the vehicle seat CS. In some embodiments, the first connector 512 can be an ISOFIX plug-in. Of course, the first connector 512 is not limited to the ISOFIX plug-in. In other embodiments, the first connector 512 can be any suitable structure such as a hook body, a buckle, etc., as long as it can be detachably connected to the vehicle seat CS.
[0215] Continue to see Fig.23 , the animal carrier 100 may also be provided with a belt guiding mechanism 33, for example, disposed on the second bracket of the bracket device 120. For example, the second bracket is a bent rod, and its two ends are bent diagonal rods to connect with the two long sides of the first bracket 121, and the belt guiding mechanism 33 may be disposed on the diagonal rod of the second bracket. Of course, in some embodiments, the belt guiding mechanism 33 may be disposed on the first bracket 121 or the third bracket 123, or on other suitable positions on the second bracket 122. The belt guiding mechanism 33 may be disposed near the long side of the animal carrier 100 to guide each restraint belt 513. The restraint belt 513 is combined with the fixed position of the animal carrier 100 through the corresponding belt guiding mechanism 33, which can effectively prevent the carrier 100 from sliding left and right on the vehicle seat CS.
[0216] For example, if Fig.23 As shown, after the two first connectors 512 are connected to the second fixing point (such as but not limited to the ISOFIX socket) of the vehicle seat, the two restraint belts 513 extend forward on the left and right sides of the bottom of the third bracket 3113 (that is, the two restraint belts 513 extend forward from the side of the third bracket 123 away from the load-bearing portion 110), and pass through the left and right belt guide mechanisms 33 of the bracket device 120, and then extend upward and backward, and finally connect to the first fixing point in the vehicle by the second connector 524, so as to fix the carrier 100 on the vehicle seat 600. It can be understood that in some embodiments, when the restraint belt assembly 51 and the extension belt assembly 52 are separated from each other, the first connectors 512 of the two restraint belts 513 can be connected to the second fixing point, and then each restraint belt 513 can be positioned in the corresponding belt guide mechanism 33; and the second connector 524 of the extension belt 521 is connected to the first fixing point, and then the first connector 511 and the second connector 523 are connected, and the length of the extension belt is adjusted by the adjuster 522.
[0217] The structure of the belt guiding mechanism 33 can be found in the description of the ninth embodiment below.
[0218] Ninth Aspect
[0219] See also Figure 24 to Figure 29 According to the ninth aspect of the present application, the carrier (also referred to as an animal carrier) includes a support device 300 and a plurality of belt guide mechanisms 33. The plurality of belt guide mechanisms 33 are provided on the support device 300 and are used to cooperate with the fixing belt assembly 500. The fixing belt assembly 500 passes through the plurality of belt guide mechanisms 33 and connects the support device 300 and the vehicle seat CS in a detachable manner, so as to better fix the support device 300 on the vehicle seat CS without being prone to front-back and left-right sliding.
[0220] like Figure 28 to Figure 29 As shown, in this embodiment, the support device 300 may have a structure similar to a stretcher, including a first support 32, a third support 34, and a support plate 36 located between the first support 32 and the third support 34. The support plate 36 may be used as an implementation of a bearing portion, and the upper surface of the support plate 36 may be used as a bearing surface.
[0221] The first bracket 32 is a roughly annular square frame (also called a rectangular frame or a square ring), which includes two long sides (respectively a first side and a third side) 321 and two short sides (respectively a second side and a fourth side) 323 connected to the two long sides 321. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the lengths of the two short sides 323 are not equal. Fig.28 The length of the short side 323 (second side) on the right side is slightly greater than the length of the short side 323 (fourth side) on the left side. Figure 5 When the cart ST is mounted on the frame, the Fig.28 The left side of the middle bracket device 300 with a narrower width is placed inside the frame of the cart, and the right side of the bracket device 300 with a wider width extends to the rear of the frame. In this way, a larger carrying space can be provided for the animal without affecting the combination of the carrier and the frame. Of course, in other embodiments, the lengths of the two short sides 323 can also be equal.
[0222] Two parallel second brackets 322 are provided between the two long sides of the first bracket 32. The support plate 36 is a substantially rectangular flat plate (also called a square plate), which is fixed to the two second brackets 322 by fasteners such as screws. The support plate 36 can be made of a rigid material (such as a metal plate, a plastic plate) or a flexible material (such as canvas) according to the actual application requirements. In some embodiments, the support plate 36 made of a rigid material can be covered with a fabric layer. Two first fixing components (also called fixing seats) 324 are also provided on each second bracket 322.
[0223] The third bracket 34 is located below the first bracket 32. The shape of the third bracket 34 is roughly an annular square frame (also known as a rectangular frame or a square ring). In some embodiments, the size of the third bracket 34 is smaller than that of the first bracket 32, that is, the size of the third bracket 34 in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction is smaller than that of the first bracket 32, but not limited to this. The third bracket 34 includes two long sides 341 and two short sides 343. The two long sides 341 are fixedly connected to the two second brackets 322 through four first fixing components 324. A connecting portion (also known as a fixing ring) 342 is also provided in the middle of the two long sides 341. The third bracket 34 also includes an arc-shaped blocking portion 345 located between the long side 341 and the short side 343. Each blocking portion 345 is arranged opposite to a belt guiding mechanism 33. The distance between two adjacent blocking portions 345 is greater than the distance between the two long sides 341.
[0224] See also Fig.29 , each belt guide mechanism 33 is arranged on the first bracket 32, and each belt guide mechanism 33 is inclined toward the third bracket 34. In this way, on the one hand, it is beneficial to make each belt guide mechanism 33 not protrude relative to the first bracket 32 in the D2 direction, and on the other hand, it is beneficial to make each belt guide mechanism 33 not protrude relative to the plane where the first bracket 32 and the plane where the third bracket 34 are located, that is, the belt guide mechanism 33 is roughly located between the plane where the first bracket 32 and the plane where the third bracket 34 are located, thereby preventing the belt guide mechanism 33 from protruding too much and affecting the placement and fixation of the carrier on the vehicle seat.
[0225] like Fig.29 As shown, at least one symmetrically distributed fixing piece 326 is provided on the first bracket 32. Each fixing piece 326 is inclined toward the direction close to the third bracket 34 so as not to protrude relative to the first bracket 32 in the D2 direction. Each belt guide mechanism 33 is fixed to a fixing piece 326 by a fastener such as a screw. Specifically, each fixing piece 326 includes an inner side 326A close to the support plate 36 and an outer side 326B away from the support plate 36, and each belt guide mechanism 33 is fixed to the outer side 326B of the fixing piece 326. In this embodiment, the number of fixing pieces 326 is four. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of fixing pieces 326 is also two, three, five or more. It is understood that in other embodiments, the fixing piece 326 can also be set on the third bracket 34, and the belt guide mechanism 33 is also set on the third bracket 34. In some embodiments, the fixing piece 326 can be set on the second bracket 322 or the support plate 36.
[0226] Please refer again Figure 24 to Figure 27, the fixing belt assembly 500, for example, includes a restraint belt assembly 51 and an extension belt assembly (also called an extension component) 52. The restraint belt assembly 51 includes two restraint belts 513 and a support structure (also called a shielding net) 514 located between the two restraint belts 513. The restraint belt 513 can be an elastic webbing. The restraint belt assembly 51 also includes a first connector (also called a hook) 512 located at one end of each restraint belt 513, a first coupler (also called a first buckle) 511 connected to the other ends of the two restraint belts 513 at the same time, and a third connector 515 located below the support structure 514. In this embodiment, the first connector 512 is an ISOFIX plug-in. Please refer to Figure 25 to Figure 27 After the first connector 512 and the restraint belt 513 pass around the bottom of the bracket device 300, they are detachably connected to the second fixing point (such as but not limited to the ISOFIX socket) of the vehicle seat. Of course, the type of the first connector 512 is not limited to the ISOFIX plug-in, and it can be any suitable structure such as a hook, a buckle, etc. Fig.26 The third connector 515 is generally a hook, which can be detachably connected to the connecting portion 342 of the third bracket 34. It can be understood that the number of the restraining belt 513 can also be one or more. The support structure 514 and the third connector 515 can also be omitted in some embodiments.
[0227] The extension belt assembly 52 includes an extension belt 521, an adjuster (also called an adjustment part) 522, a second connector (also called a second buckle) 523, and a second connector (also called a fixing hook) 524. The extension belt 521 is, for example, a webbing, one end of which is connected to the second connector 523. The second connector 523 is detachably connected to the first connector 511. The adjuster 522 is arranged on the extension belt 521 and is used to adjust the available length of the extension belt 521. The second connector 524 located at the other end of the extension belt 521 is generally a hook, which can be detachably engaged with a suitable structure of the vehicle seat (such as a connecting rod on the top or back side of the vehicle seat CS) to fix the bracket device 300 on the vehicle seat CS. The structure connected to the second connector 524 can be called a first fixing point. It can be understood that in some embodiments, the adjuster 522 can also be omitted.
[0228] See also Figure 29 to Figure 33The belt guide mechanism 33 includes a bottom shell 331 and a top shell 332. The bottom shell 331 can be fixed to the fixing plate 326 of the first bracket 32 by means of screws, for example. The top shell 332 can be mounted on the bottom shell 331 by means of fasteners, for example, screws, for example. The bottom shell 331 and the top shell 332 together define a channel 330 for the restraining belt 513 of the fixing belt assembly 500 to pass through. The channel 330 has a first port 3301 and a second port 3302. When the fixing belt assembly 500 fixes the bracket device 300 to the vehicle seat CS, the restraining belt 513 can pass through the first port 3301 and the second port 3302. See FIG. Fig.30 In this embodiment, the first port 3301 and the second port 3302 are both disposed on the surface shell 332. In some other embodiments, the first port 3301 and the second port 3302 may be defined by the bottom shell 331 and the surface shell 332, for example.
[0229] Please refer again Fig. 27 , Fig.29 and Fig.30 , the blocking portion 345 of the third bracket 34 is disposed close to the face shell 332. Therefore, after the restraining band 513 passes through the second port 3302, under the blocking effect of the blocking portion 345, the restraining band 513 is more likely to pass through the gap between the third bracket 34 and the support plate 36, and is not easy to pass through the outside of the third bracket 34. It can be understood that in other embodiments, for example, Fig.43 As shown, the blocking portion 345 may also be omitted, and in this case the restraining belt 513 may also pass through the outer side of the third bracket 34 away from the support plate 36 .
[0230] See also Figure 29 to Figure 31 In some embodiments, the channel 330 further has a lateral introduction port 3303. The lateral introduction port 3303 is connected to the first port 3301 and the second port 3302 at the same time, and the lateral introduction port 3303 has a guiding slope 3304. By providing the lateral introduction port 3303 and the guiding slope 3304, the restraining belt 513 can easily slide into the channel 330 from the side.
[0231] See also Fig. 27 and Fig.29, the two restraint belts 513 pass through a pair of belt guide mechanisms 33 away from the backrest of the vehicle seat, and the opening directions of the side inlets 3303 of the pair of belt guide mechanisms 33 are opposite to each other and respectively face the adjacent short sides 323. That is, the opening directions of the side inlets 3303 of the pair of belt guide mechanisms 33 are respectively facing the short sides of the vehicle. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient for each restraint belt 513 to enter the corresponding channel 330 through the side inlet 3303, and on the other hand, it can effectively avoid the problem that the two restraint belts 513 cannot reliably fix the bracket device 300 due to sliding out of the side inlet 3303 and gathering together. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the opening directions of the side inlets 3303 of the pair of belt guide mechanisms 33 can be opposite to each other.
[0232] See also Fig. 27 In some embodiments, when the two first connectors 512 of the two restraint belts 513 are connected to the second fixed point of the vehicle seat, the spacing between the pair of belt guide mechanisms 33 can be greater than the spacing between the two first connectors 512 (i.e., the spacing between the two second fixed points). In this way, after the two restraint belts 513 are guided by the two belt guide mechanisms 33, the area of the support structure 514 formed after bypassing the long side of the first bracket 32 will be larger, so that the fixed belt assembly can provide more reliable protection for the animal on the carrier. Of course, the present application does not specifically limit the relationship between the spacing between the two belt guide mechanisms 33 and the spacing between the two first connectors 512. It can be understood that, through the guidance of the two restraint belts 513 by the belt guide mechanism 33, the spacing between the two restraint belts 513 when they are bypassed from the outside of the first bracket 32 is not limited by the spacing between the two second fixed points, so that the fixed belt assembly provides more stable support and protection for the animal on the carrier. That is, by reasonably setting the position of the belt guide mechanism 33 and the direction of the side introduction port, better guidance can be provided for the fixed belt assembly.
[0233] See also Fig.31 and Fig.32 The bottom shell 331 is provided with at least one first rib 3311 protruding toward the surface shell 332. The surface shell 332 is provided with at least one second rib 3312 protruding toward the bottom shell 331. The first rib 3311 and the second rib 3312 are alternately arranged in the extending direction of the restraining belt 513. That is, the first rib 3311 and the second rib 3312 are arranged on the side walls opposite to each other in the channel 330. Fig.33As shown, by reasonably setting the height of the first rib 3311 and the second rib 3312, the restraint belt 513 between the first port 3301 and the second port 3302 is bent in the channel 330 to bypass the top of the first rib 3311 and the top of the second rib 3312, so that the restraint belt 513 is subjected to the movement resistance from the first rib 3311 and the second rib 3312. In this way, when the fixing belt assembly 500 is tightened, the restraint belt 513 will not easily slide relative to the bracket device 300. It can be understood that if the first rib 3311 is directly set on the fixing plate 326, the bottom shell 331 can also be omitted.
[0234] See also Figure 24 to Figure 27 When the above-mentioned carrier is used, the bracket device 300 is first placed on the vehicle seat CS, and then the two first connectors 512 are connected to the ISOFIX sockets of the vehicle seat. After that, the two restraint belts 513 located between the third bracket 34 and the support plate 36 are respectively passed through the two belt guide mechanisms 33 on both sides, and the third connector 515 under the support structure 514 is engaged with the connecting portion 342. Then, the second connector 524 of the extension belt assembly 52 is engaged with the connecting rod at the top or back side of the vehicle seat CS, and finally, the first connectors 511 at the top of the two restraint belts 513 are buckled with the second connector 523 of the extension belt assembly 52, so that the bracket device 300 is fixed to the vehicle seat CS more firmly.
[0235] In this embodiment, the number of the belt guiding mechanisms 33 is four. Fig. 27 As shown, the two restraint belts 513 can respectively pass through two belt guide mechanisms 33 located on the side of the bracket device 300 away from the seat back CSB. In some embodiments, one restraint belt 513 passes through two belt guide mechanisms 33, and the other restraint belt 513 passes through one belt guide mechanism 33. In some embodiments, each restraint belt 513 passes through two belt guide mechanisms 33 at the same time. It can be understood that the number of the belt guide mechanisms 33 can also be one, two, or more.
[0236] Tenth Aspect
[0237] See also Figure 34 to Figure 36 The carrier (also called animal carrier) according to the tenth embodiment of the present application is similar in structure to the carrier of the ninth embodiment, including a support device 300, two belt guide mechanisms 33, and a fixed belt assembly 500. The main difference is that the structure of the belt guide mechanism 33 is different. Figure 36-Figure 37As shown, two parallel second brackets 322 are provided between the two long sides of the first bracket 32. Two first fixing components 324 are also provided on each second bracket 322. The third bracket 34 is fixedly connected to the two second brackets 322 through four first fixing components 324. The third bracket 34 of this embodiment does not include Fig.28 The short side 343 and the blocking portion 345 are formed in the third bracket 34, thereby simplifying the structure of the third bracket 34.
[0238] See also Figure 36 to Figure 38 , four symmetrically distributed fixing plates 326 are provided on the first bracket 32. Each fixing plate 326 is inclined in the direction close to the third bracket 34. The two ends of each belt guide mechanism 33 are respectively arranged on two opposite fixing plates 326. Each belt guide mechanism 33 extends along the transverse direction D2 of the carrier. The two restraining belts 513 pass through the two belt guide mechanisms 33, so that there are multiple connection points between the fixing belt assembly 500 and the bracket device 300, so as to better fix the bracket device 300 on the vehicle seat CS without easy front and back left and right sliding. In addition, by the two opposite fixing plates 326 being inclined in the direction close to the third bracket 34, on the one hand, it is beneficial to prevent the belt guide mechanism 33 from protruding relative to the first bracket 32 in the D2 direction, and on the other hand, it is beneficial to prevent the belt guide mechanism 33 from protruding relative to the plane where the first bracket 32 is located and the plane where the third bracket 34 is located, that is, the belt guide mechanism 33 is roughly located between the plane where the first bracket 32 is located and the plane where the third bracket 34 is located, so as to avoid the belt guide mechanism 33 from being too protruding and affecting the placement and fixation of the carrier on the vehicle seat.
[0239] like Figure 38-Figure 39As shown, the belt guide mechanism 33 includes a bottom shell 331 and a surface shell 332. The bottom shell 331 is generally a U-shaped long plate, and its two ends can be fixedly connected between the two fixing plates 326 of the first bracket 32 by, for example, screws. The surface shell 332 is generally a long strip plate with an L-shaped cross section, which can be installed on the bottom shell 331 by fasteners such as screws. The bottom shell 331 and the surface shell 332 define a channel 330 for the restraining belt 513 of the fixing belt assembly 500 to pass through. The channel 330 has a first port 3301 and a second port 3302. When the fixing belt assembly 500 fixes the bracket device 300 to the vehicle seat CS, the restraining belt 513 can pass through the first port 3301 and the second port 3302. In some embodiments, the channel 330 also has a side introduction port 3303. The side introduction port 3303 is connected to the first port 3301 and the second port 3302 at the same time, and the side introduction port 3303 has a guiding inclined surface 3304. By providing the lateral introduction port 3303 and the guiding slope 3304, the restraining belt 513 can easily slide into the channel 330 from the side. Compared with the belt guiding mechanism 33 of the ninth embodiment, the channel 330 of the belt guiding mechanism 33 of the tenth embodiment is longer and has a simpler structure.
[0240] See also Fig.36 and Fig.38 The two restraining belts 513 pass through a pair of belt guide mechanisms 33, and the opening directions of the side inlets 3303 of the pair of belt guide mechanisms 33 are opposite to each other and respectively face the adjacent short sides 323. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient for each restraining belt 513 to enter the corresponding channel 330 through the side inlet 3303, and on the other hand, it can effectively avoid the problem that the two restraining belts 513 cannot reliably fix the bracket device 300 due to being gathered after sliding out of the side inlet 3303. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the opening directions of the side inlets 3303 of the pair of belt guide mechanisms 33 can be opposite to each other.
[0241] See also Fig.36 In some embodiments, when the two first connectors 512 of the two restraining belts 513 are connected to the second fixing points of the vehicle seat, the spacing between the pair of belt guide mechanisms 33 may be greater than the spacing between the two first connectors 512 (i.e., the spacing between the two second fixing points). The effect of such a setting can refer to the effect that can be achieved by the embodiment in the ninth aspect, and will not be repeated here.
[0242] See also Fig.39, at least one first rib 3311 protruding toward the face shell 332 is provided on the bottom shell 331. At least one second rib 3312 protruding toward the bottom shell 331 is provided on the face shell 332, and the first rib 3311 and the second rib 3312 are alternately arranged in the extension direction of the restraint belt 513. That is, the first rib 3311 and the second rib 3312 are arranged on the side walls opposite to each other in the channel 330. By reasonably setting the height of the first rib 3311 and the second rib 3312, the restraint belt 513 located between the first port 3301 and the second port 3302 is bent around the top of the first rib 3311 and the top of the second rib 3312 in the channel 330, so that the restraint belt 513 is subjected to the movement resistance from the first rib 3311 and the second rib 3312. In this way, when the fixing belt assembly 500 is tightened, the restraint belt 513 will not easily slide relative to the bracket device 300.
[0243] See also Figure 34-Figure 36 When the above-mentioned carrier is used, the bracket device 300 is first placed on the vehicle seat CS, and then the two first connectors 512 are connected to the second fixing point (such as but not limited to the ISOFIX socket) of the vehicle seat. After that, the two restraint belts 513 are respectively passed through the two belt guide mechanisms 33 located on the first bracket 32, and the third connector 515 under the support structure 514 is engaged with the connecting portion 342 of the third bracket 34. Then, the second connector 524 of the extension belt assembly 52 is engaged with the first fixing point (such as but not limited to the connecting rod) on the top or back side of the vehicle seat CS, and finally the first connectors 511 on the top of the two restraint belts 513 are buckled with the second connector 523 of the extension belt assembly 52, so as to fix the bracket device 300 on the vehicle seat CS.
[0244] Aspect 11
[0245] See also Figure 40-Figure 42 The carrier (also called animal carrier) according to the eleventh embodiment of the present application is similar in structure to the carrier according to the ninth embodiment, and includes a support device 300 and a plurality of belt guide mechanisms 33. The plurality of belt guide mechanisms 33 are disposed on the support device 300, and are used to cooperate with the fixing belt assembly 500. The fixing belt assembly 500 passes through the plurality of belt guide mechanisms 33, and connects the support device 300 and the vehicle seat CS in a detachable manner, so as to better fix the support device 300 on the vehicle seat CS without easily slipping forward, backward, left, or right.
[0246] like Figure 41 to Figure 43 As shown, in this embodiment, the support device 300 may have a structure similar to a stretcher, including a first support 32 , a third support 34 , and a support plate 36 located between the first support 32 and the third support 34 .
[0247] The first bracket 32 is a substantially annular square frame (also called a rectangular frame or a square ring), which includes two long sides 321 and two short sides 323 connected to the two long sides 321. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the lengths of the two short sides 323 are not equal. Fig.42 The length of the short side 323 (second side) on the right side is slightly greater than the length of the short side 323 (fourth side) on the left side. Of course, in other embodiments, the lengths of the two short sides 323 may also be equal.
[0248] Two parallel second brackets 322 are provided between the two long sides of the first bracket 32. The support plate 36 is a substantially rectangular flat plate (also called a square plate), which is fixed to the two second brackets 322 by fasteners such as screws. The support plate 36 can be made of a rigid material (such as a metal plate, a plastic plate) or a flexible material (such as canvas) according to actual application requirements. In some embodiments, the support plate 36 made of a rigid material can be covered with a fabric layer. Two first fixing components 324 are also provided on each second bracket 322.
[0249] The third bracket 34 is below the first bracket 32. The shape of the third bracket 34 is roughly an annular square frame (also called a rectangular frame or a square ring), and the size of the third bracket 34 is smaller than that of the first bracket 32. The third bracket 34 includes two long sides 341 and two short sides 343. The two long sides 341 are fixedly connected to the two second brackets 322 through four first fixing components 324. A connecting portion 342 is also provided in the middle of the two long sides 341. In some embodiments, the shape of the third bracket 34 can be roughly the same as that of the first bracket 32, or it can be different from the shape of the first bracket 32.
[0250] like Fig.44 and Fig.45 As shown, two fixing plates 326 are provided on the third bracket 34. Specifically, the two fixing plates 326 can be fixed to the two short sides 343 of the third bracket 34 respectively by welding or the like, and the two fixing plates 326 are arranged opposite to each other. Each belt guide mechanism 33 is fixed to a fixing plate 326 by fasteners such as screws. In some embodiments, the belt guide mechanism 33 is roughly located between the plane where the first bracket 32 is located and the plane where the third bracket 34 is located, so as to avoid the belt guide mechanism 33 being too protruding and affecting the placement and fixation of the carrier on the vehicle seat. In some embodiments not shown, the height of the belt guide mechanism 33 protruding from the bottom of the carrier is less than the height of the first fixing component 324 protruding from the bottom of the carrier, or the belt guide mechanism 33 can be the same height as the first fixing component 324 to jointly support the carrier to be placed on a plane.
[0251] like Figure 43-Figure 46As shown, the belt guide mechanism 33 includes a bottom shell 331 and a surface shell 332. The bottom shell 331 is fixed on the support plate 36, and the surface shell 332 is fixed to the third bracket 34. Specifically, the belt guide mechanism 33 also includes a positioning seat 333. The positioning seat 333 is embedded in the support plate 36. The bottom shell 331 can be fixed to the positioning seat 333 by fasteners such as screws 334. The surface shell 332 has a receiving groove 3322 for accommodating a fixing plate 326. The fixing plate 326 is inserted into the receiving groove 3322 of the surface shell 332 and fixed to the surface shell 332 by a plurality of screws 334. The bottom shell 331 and the surface shell 332 can also be fixedly connected by a plurality of screws. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the belt guide mechanism 33 can also be fixed to the support plate 36 only by the positioning seat 333, and the fixing plate 326 can also be omitted. Similarly, in other embodiments, the belt guide mechanism 33 can also be fixed only by the fixing plate 326 and the third bracket 34, and the positioning seat 333 can also be omitted. The other structures of the belt guide mechanism 33 in this embodiment are similar to the belt guide mechanism 33 in the ninth or tenth embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
[0252] See also Fig.42 and Fig.44 The two restraining belts 513 pass through a pair of belt guide mechanisms 33, and the opening directions of the side inlets 3303 of the pair of belt guide mechanisms 33 are opposite to each other and respectively face the adjacent short sides 323. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient for each restraining belt 513 to enter the corresponding channel 330 through the side inlet 3303, and on the other hand, it can effectively avoid the problem that the two restraining belts 513 cannot reliably fix the bracket device 300 due to being gathered after sliding out of the side inlet 3303. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the opening directions of the side inlets 3303 of the pair of belt guide mechanisms 33 can be opposite to each other.
[0253] See also Fig.42 In some embodiments, when the two first connectors 512 of the two restraining belts 513 are connected to the second fixing points of the vehicle seat, the spacing between the pair of belt guide mechanisms 33 may be greater than the spacing between the two first connectors 512 (i.e., the spacing between the two second fixing points). The effect of such a setting can refer to the effect that can be achieved by the embodiment in the ninth aspect, and will not be repeated here.
[0254] Please refer again Fig.40 and Fig.41The fixing belt assembly 500 of this embodiment is substantially the same as the fixing belt assembly 500 of the ninth and tenth embodiments, and includes a restraint belt assembly 51 and an extension belt assembly 52. The restraint belt assembly 51 includes two restraint belts 513 and a support structure 514 located between the two restraint belts 513. The restraint belt 513 may be an elastic webbing. The restraint belt assembly 51 also includes a first connector 512 located at one end of each restraint belt 513, a first coupler (also called a first buckle) 511 connected to the other ends of the two restraint belts 513, and a third connector 515 located below the support structure 514. In this embodiment, the first connector 512 is an ISOFIX plug-in. Please refer to Fig.42 After the first connector 512 and the restraint belt 513 pass under the bracket device 300, they are detachably connected to the ISOFIX socket of the vehicle seat. Of course, the type of the first connector 512 is not limited to the ISOFIX plug-in, and it can be any suitable structure such as a hook, a buckle, etc. Fig.41 The third connector 515 is substantially a hook, which can be detachably connected to the connecting portion 342 of the third bracket 34 .
[0255] like Fig.40 and Fig.41 As shown, the difference between the fixing belt assembly 500 of the ninth and tenth embodiments is that the fixing belt assembly 500 of the eleventh embodiment also includes a support strip 516 located between the two restraining belts 513, and a reinforcement belt 518 provided on the support structure 514.
[0256] The two ends of the support bar 516 are respectively arranged on the two restraint belts 513, and the support bar 516 is located on one side of the support structure 514. The support bar 516 can be made of plastic or metal. The support bar 516 can be deformed without breaking during the collision process, and prevents the pet from being injured during the collision process. Fig.47 and Fig.48 As shown, a Japanese-shaped buckle 517 is respectively provided at both ends of the support bar 516. Each constraint belt 513 can pass through the corresponding Japanese-shaped buckle 517, so that the support bar 516 can slide up and down along the constraint belt 513 within a certain range to adjust the available area of the support structure 514. In this embodiment, a support bar 516 is provided on the upper side of the support structure 514. It can be understood that in other embodiments, another support bar 516 can be provided on the lower side of the support structure 514. The lengths of the support bars 516 located on the upper and lower sides of the support structure 514 can be equal or unequal. When the lengths of the two support bars 516 are equal, the shape of the support structure 514 is a rectangle; when the support bar 516 located on the lower side of the support structure 514 is slightly longer than the support bar 516 located on the upper side of the support structure 514, the shape of the support structure 514 is a trapezoid.
[0257] The reinforcing belt 518 is located in the middle of the supporting structure 514. The reinforcing belt 518 is connected to the third connector 515, and its function is to strengthen the strength of the supporting structure (also called the shielding net) 514 connected to the third connector 515, so as to prevent the mesh 514 near the third connector 515 from being broken due to excessive force when the third connector 515 is connected to the connecting portion 342. It can be understood that in some embodiments, the reinforcing belt 518 can also be applied to Fig.26 or Fig.34 On the support structure 514 shown.
[0258] See also Fig.49 In another embodiment, the support structure 514 further includes a receiving portion 5142 located at the upper edge and / or the lower edge thereof. The receiving portion 5142 has a structure similar to a hollow sleeve. The support bar 516 can be movably arranged in the receiving portion 5142 ( Fig.49 The middle support bar 516 is blocked by the storage portion 5142 and is not shown. In addition, the support structure 514 also includes two storage portions 5143 located at the left and right edges thereof. Each restraint belt 513 is movably arranged in the corresponding storage portion 5143. As the two ends of each support bar 516 slide along the two restraint belts 513, the available area of the support structure 514 can be adjusted.
[0259] It should be noted that the support strip 516, the reinforcing strip 518, the storage portion 5142, and the storage portion 5143 of this embodiment can also be applied to the fixing belt assembly 500 of the ninth and tenth embodiments.
[0260] See also Figure 40-Figure 42 When the above-mentioned carrier is used, the bracket device 300 is first placed on the vehicle seat CS, and then the two first connectors 512 are connected to the second fixing point (such as but not limited to the ISOFIX socket) of the vehicle seat. After that, the two restraint belts 513 are respectively passed through the two belt guide mechanisms 33 located on the third bracket 34, and the third connector 515 under the support structure 514 is engaged with the connecting portion 342. Then, the second connector 524 of the extension belt assembly 52 is engaged with the first fixing point (such as but not limited to the connecting rod) on the top or back side of the vehicle seat CS, and finally the first connectors 511 on the top of the two restraint belts 513 are buckled with the second connector 523 of the extension belt assembly 52, so as to fix the bracket device 300 on the vehicle seat CS.
[0261] Aspect 12
[0262] See also Figure 50-Figure 51The carrier (also called animal carrier) according to the twelfth embodiment of the present application can be similar in structure to the carrier of the ninth embodiment, the tenth embodiment or the eleventh embodiment, and includes a bracket device 300. The difference is that the carrier of the twelfth embodiment further includes a base fabric 700 and a mesh fabric 800. The base fabric 700 is disposed on the bracket device 300, and the mesh fabric 800 is disposed on the base fabric 700. A storage space is formed between the base fabric 700 and the mesh fabric 800 for accommodating pets or other items.
[0263] See also Fig.52 The support device 300 of the twelfth embodiment includes a first support 32, a third support 34, and a support plate 36 located between the first support 32 and the third support 34. Furthermore, the support plate 36 can be disposed on the first support 32 and / or the third support 34. The support plate 36 is generally a rectangular flat plate (also called a square plate), and the base fabric 700 covers the support plate 36 and is fixed to the support plate 36.
[0264] The first bracket 32 is a substantially annular square frame (also called a rectangular frame or a square ring), which includes two long sides 321 and two short sides 323 connected to the two long sides 321. The base fabric 700 includes a plurality of fixing mechanisms fixedly connected to the support plate 36. Specifically, as shown in FIG. Fig.56 As shown, the base fabric 700 includes a main body portion 710 and a first fixing portion 720 located on the main body 710 .
[0265] The main body 710 is roughly square, and its area and shape are similar to the support plate 36. In this embodiment, the main body 710 is roughly rectangular. Accordingly, the main body 710 has two opposite short sides 71002 and two opposite long sides 71001 (see Fig.54 ). The two first fixing portions 720 are respectively disposed at the two ends of the main body 710, namely, at the two short sides 71002 of the main body 710. For ease of description, Fig.54 The figure shows that one long side 71001 of the base fabric 700 is connected to the support plate 36, and the other long side 71001 is separated from the support plate 36 and lifted up from the support plate 36 to expose the upper surface of the support plate 36 and the partially unfolded structure of the base fabric 700. Fig.53 As shown, each first fixing portion 720 has a structure similar to a pocket, which can be sleeved on one end of the support plate 36, that is, sleeved on the short side of the support plate 36. It can be understood that in other embodiments, first positioning mechanisms such as hooks and rings that cooperate with each other, belts and rings that cooperate with each other, Velcro that cooperate with each other, or snaps that cooperate with each other can also be provided on the first fixing portion 720 and the support plate 36, respectively, to enhance the binding force between the two. Of course, the first fixing portion 720 and the support plate 36 can also be directly sewn together.
[0266] like Fig.54 and Fig.55 As shown, the base fabric 700 also includes a second fixing portion 730 located on the main body 710. The two second fixing portions 730 are respectively arranged on both sides of the main body 710, that is, at the two long sides 71001 of the main body 710. The second fixing portion 730 is provided with a Velcro 7301 and a Velcro 7302. After the second fixing portion 730 passes around the long side 321 of the first bracket 32, it is fixed on the long side 321 by the bonding action of the Velcro 7301 and the Velcro 7302. The Velcro 7301 and the Velcro 7302 can be referred to as a second positioning mechanism. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the second positioning mechanism (i.e., the Velcro 7301 and the Velcro 7302) can also be replaced by a hook and a ring that cooperate with each other, a belt and a ring that cooperate with each other, a snap button that cooperates with each other, a strap buckle that cooperates with each other, and the like. Of course, the second fixing portion 730 can also be positioned by sewing.
[0267] like Fig.54 and Fig.56 As shown, the base fabric 700 further includes a third fixing portion 740 located on the main body 710. The four third fixing portions 740 are respectively located at the two ends of the two second fixing portions 730. More specifically, the third fixing portions 740 are located at the four corners of the base fabric 700, which are also equivalent to the two corners of each second fixing portion 730 away from the main body 710. Locking rings 7102 are provided near the four corners of the main body 710, and corresponding snaps 7404 and snaps 7403 are provided on the third fixing portion 740. After the second fixing portion 730 is wound and fixed on the long side 321 of the first bracket 32, the third fixing portion 740 can pass through the locking ring 7102 and then be folded, and then fixed on the long side 321 through the snapping action of the snaps 7403 and the snaps 7404. The snaps 7403 and the snaps 7404 can be referred to as snap set 7401, and the locking ring 7102 and the snap set 7401 can be referred to as a third positioning mechanism. The locking ring 7102 can be a single ring structure or a double ring structure. It is understood that in other embodiments, the third positioning mechanism (i.e., the locking ring 7102, the snap button 7403 and the snap button 7404) can also be replaced by a hook and a ring that cooperate with each other, a belt and a ring that cooperate with each other, a Velcro that cooperate with each other, a strap buckle that cooperate with each other, or a similar structure. Of course, the third fixing portion 740 can also be positioned by sewing.
[0268] like Fig.54 and Fig.57As shown, the base fabric 700 also includes a fourth fixing portion 750 located on the base fabric 700. In some embodiments, the fourth fixing portion 750 is arranged in the middle of the second fixing portion 730, close to both sides of the main body 710. In some embodiments, the fourth fixing portion 750 includes a belt 7501 and a snap button 7502, one end of the belt 7501 is connected to the second fixing portion 730, and the snap button 7502 is close to the other end of the belt 7501. The connection position of the belt 7501 and the second fixing portion 730 is, for example, close to the middle of the long side 71001 of the main body 710. The support plate 36 is provided with a fifth fixing portion 760 corresponding to the fourth fixing portion 750. In this embodiment, the fifth fixing portion 760 is a snap button. When the base fabric 700 is fixed to the support plate 36, the belt 7501 can carry the snap button 7502 around the bottom surface of the support plate 36, so that the snap button 7502 is buckled with the fifth fixing portion 760. By the mutual engagement of the snap button 7502 of the fourth fixing part 750 and the fifth fixing part 760, the base fabric 700 can be more firmly fixed on the support plate 36. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the fourth fixing part 750 and the fifth fixing part 760 can also be replaced by hooks and rings that match each other, belts and rings that match each other, Velcro that match each other, strap buckles that match each other, and similar structures. In some embodiments, the belt 7501 can also be omitted, and the fourth fixing part 750 and the fifth fixing part 760 can include Velcro that match each other. In this case, the Velcro of the fourth fixing part 750 can be set on the bottom surface of the base fabric 700 facing the support plate 36, and the Velcro of the fifth fixing part 760 can be set on the upper surface of the support plate 36 facing the base fabric 700. In some alternative embodiments, the fourth fixing part 750 and the fifth fixing part 760 can be sewn parts of the base fabric 700 and the support plate 36 that match each other.
[0269] like Fig.50 and Fig.51 As shown, the shape of the mesh 800 is roughly rectangular. In the present embodiment, the mesh 800 is more specifically a rectangle. The mesh 800 includes two opposite long sides 81 and two opposite short sides 82. The two long sides 81 of the mesh 800 correspond to the two long sides 7101 of the main body 710 of the base fabric 700, and the two short sides 82 of the mesh 800 correspond to the two short sides 7102 of the main body 710 of the base fabric 700. The two long sides 81 of the mesh 800 are detachably connected to the main body 710 of the base fabric 700 through a zipper 820 to facilitate the loading of articles into the accommodating space. One chain 8201 of a pair of chains of each zipper 820 can be arranged on the long side 81 of the mesh 800, and the other chain 8202 can be arranged corresponding to the long side 7101 of the main body 710 of the base fabric 700. In some embodiments, the chain 8202 may be disposed on the main body portion 710 of the base fabric 700 . In some embodiments, the chain 8202 may be disposed on the second fixing portion 730 of the base fabric 700 . Fig.50In the figure, one long side 81 of the mesh 800 remains connected to the base fabric 700, and the other long side 81 is separated from the base fabric 700 and lifted up to clearly show the structure of the mesh 800.
[0270] like Fig.50 and Fig.53 As shown, the two short sides 82 of the mesh 800 are also provided with an eighth fixing portion 840 respectively. The eighth fixing portion 840 has a structure similar to a pocket, and can be sleeved on one end of the support plate 36 (the short side of the support plate 36). Specifically in this embodiment, the eighth fixing portion 840 is sleeved on the first fixing portion 720 of the base fabric 700 wrapped around one end of the support plate 36. The height of the eighth fixing portion 840 in the vertical direction is greater than the height of the first fixing portion 720, that is, the depth of the pocket formed by the eighth fixing portion 840 is greater than the depth of the pocket formed by the first fixing portion 720, so the edge of the eighth fixing portion 840 passes over the edge of the first fixing portion 720 and directly contacts the support plate 36. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the height of the eighth fixing portion 840 in the vertical direction may be less than the height of the first fixing portion 720, and the edge of the eighth fixing portion 840 may not pass over the edge of the first fixing portion 720.
[0271] In this embodiment, the eighth fixing portion 840 and the support plate 36 may also be provided with corresponding Velcro 8401 and Velcro 8402, and the Velcro 8401 is arranged on the bottom surface of the support plate 36 to ensure that the two short sides of the mesh 800 can be firmly attached to the two short sides of the support plate 36. It is understood that in other embodiments, the Velcro 8401 and Velcro 8402 may also be arranged on the eighth fixing portion 840 and the first fixing portion 720, respectively. The Velcro 8401 and Velcro 8402 may be referred to as the fourth positioning mechanism. It is understood that in other embodiments, the Velcro 8401 and Velcro 8402 may also be replaced by a hook and a ring that cooperate with each other, a belt and a ring that cooperate with each other, a snap that cooperate with each other, a strap buckle that cooperate with each other, and the like. Of course, the eighth fixing portion 840 and the first fixing portion 720 may also be positioned by sewing.
[0272] like Fig.52 , Fig.58 and Fig.59As shown, a shielding portion 361 is also provided on the bottom surface of the support plate 36 near the two ends (two short sides). The shielding portion 361 is roughly square (for example, rectangular or square), and a Velcro 3612 is provided on it. After the shielding portion 361 passes around the short side 323 of the first bracket 32, it is wrapped and fixed on the short side 323 by the adhesive action of the Velcro 3612. In some embodiments, the Velcro 3612 includes Velcro 36121 and Velcro 36122 that cooperate with each other, and the Velcro 3612 can be called the fifth positioning mechanism. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the fifth positioning mechanism (Velcro 3612) can also be replaced by a hook and a ring that cooperate with each other, a belt and a ring that cooperate with each other, a snap button that cooperates with each other, a strap buckle that cooperates with each other, and the like. Of course, the shielding portion 361 can also be positioned by sewing.
[0273] like Fig.50 and Fig.51 As shown, at least one adjusting belt 860 is also provided on the mesh 800. In this embodiment, the number of the adjusting belts 860 is two. The two adjusting belts 860 are arranged in parallel and extend along the width (lateral direction D2) of the mesh 800. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the number of the adjusting belts 860 can also be one, three, four or more. Each adjusting belt 860 includes a fixed section 8602 and a separation section 8604 connected to each other. The fixed section 8602 is fixed to the mesh 800 by sewing or the like, and the separation section 8604 is not fixed to the mesh 800, that is, the separation section 8604 and the mesh 800 are in a separated state. A strap buckle (also called an adjuster) 861 is also fixedly provided on the edge of the mesh 800, and the strap buckle 861 can be connected to the mesh 800 through a positioning belt 867. The adjusting belt 860 can also include the positioning belt 867 and the strap buckle 861. The end of the separation section 8604 passes through the strap buckle 861 and can slide back and forth relative to the strap buckle 861. The available length of the separation section 8604 can be adjusted through the strap buckle 861, thereby adjusting the size of the accommodation space formed by the base fabric 700 and the mesh fabric 800 to match the size of the loaded items.
[0274] See also Fig.60 and Fig.61 , shows another way of fixing the base fabric 700 and the support plate 36. The base fabric 700 includes a main body 710 and four connecting belts 770 located at the four corners of the main body 710. In some embodiments, the base fabric 700 includes a main body 710, a first fixing portion 720 and second fixing portions 730 on both sides. The third fixing portion 740 mentioned above may not be provided on the base fabric 700. The first fixing portion 720 is used to be sleeved on both ends of the support plate 36. The four connecting belts 770 are located at the four corners of the base fabric 700, that is, a connecting belt 770 is respectively provided at the two corners of each second fixing portion 730 away from the main body 710.
[0275] Each connecting belt 770 is provided with a sixth fixing portion 772. A positioning piece 362 and a positioning member connected to the positioning piece 362 are provided on the support plate 36, and the positioning member is, for example, but not limited to, a positioning ring 364. The positioning piece 362 can be fixed to the bottom surface of the support plate 36 by, for example, sewing or the like. Two positioning rings 364 are movably arranged at both ends of the positioning piece 362. In this embodiment, the sixth fixing portion 772 is a snap button, more specifically, including snap buttons 7721 and snap buttons 7722 that cooperate with each other. When the connecting belts 770 located at the four corners of the base fabric 700 pass through the corresponding positioning rings 364 respectively, the base fabric 700 is fixed to the support plate 36 by the snapping action of the snap buttons 7721 and the snap buttons 7722. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first fixing portion 720 can also be omitted. In some embodiments, the positioning member is connected to the connecting belt 770 by, for example, a hook and a ring that cooperate with each other, and the positioning member can be a hook or a ring. Alternatively, the positioning member is connected to the connecting belt 770 by, for example, a buckle that cooperates with each other.
[0276] like Fig.63 As shown, in another embodiment, the connecting belt 770 is provided with a seventh fixing portion 774 located near the sixth fixing portion 772. In this embodiment, the seventh fixing portion 774 is a Velcro, which may include a Velcro 7741 and a Velcro 7742 that cooperate with each other. After the connecting belt 770 passes through the positioning ring 364, the base fabric 700 and the support plate 36 can be more firmly fixed by the snaps 7721 and the snaps 7722 and the bonding of the Velcro 7741 and the Velcro 7742. Of course, in some embodiments, the sixth fixing portion 772 may be omitted and only the seventh fixing portion 774 may be provided.
[0277] In some embodiments, the positioning ring 364 can be a single ring structure. In some embodiments, the positioning ring 364 can be a double ring structure. Fig.60 The double ring structure includes a first ring 3641 and a second ring 3642 . The connecting belt 770 passes through the first ring 3641 , wraps around the second ring 3642 , and then passes through the first ring 3641 .
[0278] like Fig.64 FIG. 2 shows another fixing method of the base fabric 700 and the support plate 36. A belt guide mechanism 33 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 36. The belt guide mechanism 33 in this embodiment is Fig.42The structure of the belt guide mechanism 33 of the illustrated embodiment is the same. Two positioning pieces 362 are provided on the support plate 36, and the two positioning pieces 362 are respectively located on both sides of the belt guide mechanism 33. Each positioning piece 362 is provided with a positioning ring 364, and each positioning ring 364 is used to connect with the connecting belt 770 at the corresponding corner on the base fabric 700. In this embodiment, the positioning ring 364 is a double-ring structure. After the connecting belt 770 passes through the first ring, it is wrapped around the second ring and then passes through the first ring, thereby increasing the connection strength. Then the connecting belt 770 is fixed by the seventh fixing portion 774. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the sixth fixing portion 772 can also be omitted.
[0279] Aspect 13
[0280] See also Figure 65-Figure 66 The structure of the carrier according to the thirteenth embodiment of the present application is similar to that of the carrier according to the twelfth embodiment, including a bracket device 300. The difference is that three adjustment belts 860 are provided on the mesh 800 of the thirteenth embodiment. The three adjustment belts 860 are arranged in parallel and extend along the width direction (lateral direction D2) of the mesh 800. In the absence of conflict, the solution in the thirteenth embodiment of the present application (such as the fixing method of the mesh 800) can be combined with the solution in the twelfth embodiment (such as the fixing method of the base fabric 700 and the support plate 36).
[0281] like Fig.67 As shown, each adjustment strap 860 includes an adjustment strap body 862 and two adjustment strap extension straps 864 and an adjustment strap extension strap 874 respectively located at both ends of the adjustment strap body 862. The adjustment strap body 862 may include a fixed section 8602, a separation section 8604, a shoulder strap buckle (also called an adjuster) 861 and a positioning strap 867. The adjustment strap extension strap 874 extends from the fixed section 8602, and the adjustment strap extension strap 864 extends from the positioning strap 867. A ninth fixing portion 866 is respectively provided on the adjustment strap extension strap 864 and the adjustment strap extension strap 874. The ninth fixing portion 866 may be a snap button, for example, including a snap button 8661 and a snap button 8662 that cooperate with each other. As shown in FIG. Fig.66 As shown, the support plate 36 is provided with a tenth fixing portion 780 corresponding to the ninth fixing portion 866. The tenth fixing portion 780 is, for example, a locking ring. The locking ring of the tenth fixing portion 780 can be a single ring structure or a double ring structure. Taking the adjustment belt 860 located in the middle as an example, the adjustment belt extension belt 864 extending from the positioning belt 867 passes through the locking ring 780 and is fixed together with the locking ring 780 through the snap action of the snap button 8661 and the snap button 8662.
[0282] In addition, if Fig.66 and Fig.68As shown, the tenth fixing portion 780 can also be arranged on the base fabric 700. For example, taking the adjustment belts 860 located at both ends as an example, the tenth fixing portion 780 that cooperates with the adjustment belt extension belts of each adjustment belt 860 is arranged on the base fabric 700. Fig.66 As shown, after the adjustment belt extension belt 864 passes through the locking ring, it is fixed together with the locking ring through the snap action of the snap button 8661 and the snap button 8662 of the ninth fixing part 866.
[0283] Continue to see Fig.68 In some embodiments, the corner of the base fabric 700 is connected to the positioning member (more specifically, the positioning ring 364) on the support plate 36 through a connecting belt 770. One end of the connecting belt 770 is connected to the positioning ring 364, and the tenth fixing portion 780 is disposed at the other end of the connecting belt 770. In other words, the tenth fixing portion 780 can be disposed on the connecting belt 770, or the tenth fixing portion 780 and the connecting belt 770 are integrally formed and sewn on the base fabric 700. In this way, the connecting belt 770 is subjected to opposite forces from the positioning ring 364 and the tenth fixing portion 780, which can prevent the base fabric 700 from being over-tensioned, and at the same time, can enhance the connection strength between the base fabric 700 and the mesh 800, and prevent the base fabric 700 from being torn.
[0284] The fixing method of each adjustment belt extension belt 874 can refer to the fixing method of the adjustment belt extension belt 864, which will not be repeated here. By adding the adjustment belt extension belt 864 and the adjustment belt extension belt 874, the zipper 820 can be prevented from cracking under pressure, making the fixing between the mesh 800 and the base fabric 700 more secure.
[0285] It is understood that in other embodiments, the zippers 820 located at the two long sides of the mesh 800 may also be omitted, and the mesh 800 and the base fabric 700 are only detachably connected by the adjustment belt extension belt 864 and the adjustment belt extension belt 874. In this case, a gap is formed between the edge of the mesh 800 and the edge of the base fabric 700, which can facilitate the extension of the animal's feet, so as to facilitate the fixing of the carrier and the transportation of large animals.
[0286] In addition, in some embodiments, one long side of the mesh cloth 800 is detachably connected to the base cloth 700 via a zipper 820, and the other long side of the mesh cloth 800 is not provided with a zipper, but can be detachably connected to the base cloth 700 and / or the support plate 36 via a plurality of extension straps 864 (or a plurality of extension straps 874).
[0287] See also Figure 69 to Figure 72, shows another way of fixing the adjustment belt extension belt 864. As shown in the figure, an auxiliary ring 881 is provided on the positioning belt 867. When the adjustment belt extension belt 864 needs to be fixed, the adjustment belt extension belt 864 first passes around the tenth fixing portion 780, then passes around the auxiliary ring 881, and finally fastens the button 8661 and the button 8662 of the ninth fixing portion 866. The adjustment belt extension belt 874 can also be fixed in a similar manner to the adjustment belt extension belt 864. See Fig.68 Specifically, an auxiliary ring can be provided on the fixing section 8602, and the adjustment belt extension belt 874 can first pass around the tenth fixing portion 780, then pass around the auxiliary ring, and finally fasten the button of the ninth fixing portion 866.
[0288] See also Figure 73 to Figure 75 In another embodiment, the adjustment belt extension belt 864 is further provided with an eleventh fixing portion 868. In this embodiment, the eleventh fixing portion 868 includes, for example, a Velcro 8681 and a Velcro 8682 that cooperate with each other. Figure 73-Figure 74 As shown, the eleventh fixing portion 868 includes a Velcro 8682 located on one side of the snap button 8662, and a Velcro 8681 located on one side of the snap button 8661. After the adjustment belt extension belt 864 passes through the tenth fixing portion 780, it is more firmly fixed to the base fabric 700 through the snap action of the snap button 8661 and the snap button 8662 and the adhesion of the Velcro 8681 and the Velcro 8682.
[0289] See also Fig.76 In another embodiment, the locking ring of the tenth fixing portion 780 is a double ring structure, including a first ring 7801 and a second ring 7802. The adjusting belt extension belt 864 passes through the first ring 7801, passes around the second ring 7802, and then passes through the first ring 7801, and then passes through the Fig.74 The eleventh fixing part 868 (eg Velcro) is shown to be positioned, thereby increasing the connection strength. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the ninth fixing part 866 (eg snap) can also be omitted.
[0290] See also Figure 77-Figure 78In order to transport pets more safely, in another embodiment, the carrier further includes a restraint belt 900. A through hole 810 is provided at the edge of the base fabric 700. The two ends of the restraint belt 900 are respectively a first connecting end 911 and a second connecting end 912, and a connecting member (also called a hook) 920 is provided at both ends of the restraint belt 900. The hook portion 920 at the first end 911 of the restraint belt 900 is engaged with the fixing ring 342 (also called a connecting portion, which may be the same component as the connecting portion 342 of the eleventh embodiment, or may be a different component) of the third bracket 34, and the hook portion 920 at the second end 912 of the restraint belt 900 passes through the through hole 810 and is detachably connected to the snap ring on the pet vest (not shown). In other embodiments, if the long sides of the base fabric 700 and the mesh fabric 800 are not connected by a zipper, the base fabric 700 may not be provided with a through hole. In this case, the hook portion 920 of the second end 912 of the restraint belt 900 passes through the gap between the base fabric 700 and the mesh fabric 800 and is detachably connected to the clip on the pet vest.
