Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a vehicle, and more particularly, to a vehicle having a roof assembly, and a vehicle including a snap structure and an unlocking structure. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, more and more people will use vehicles such as sleeping baskets and sleeping boxes for their pets when they need to travel with their pets. In order to facilitate the use of the vehicle in different weather conditions and external environments, some vehicles are provided with a roof, but such a roof usually has a relatively complex structure and is not convenient to fold, and these roofs also prevent users from taking out the pet from the vehicle.

[0003] In addition, in the pet field, a sleeping basket or a carrying case is a common vehicle for carrying pets. In use, the sleeping basket or the carrying case can be locked to a device such as a base or a stroller through a snap structure for placement, and the sleeping basket or the carrying case can be unlocked from the base or the stroller for transfer by the user.

[0004] Therefore, a snap structure and a corresponding unlocking structure need to be provided between the sleeping basket or the carrying case and the base. Existing unlocking members are usually provided on the base, so they may be located relatively low and difficult to reach, forcing the user to bend down for operation. Moreover, the positions of some unlocking structures are not obvious enough, making it inconvenient for users to find and operate. Therefore, a product with the unlocking member provided on the sleeping basket, especially at a position that is easy to find and operate, is needed. Summary of the Utility Model

On the contrary, the present disclosure will cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

[0244] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0245] Reference Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a vehicle 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where the vehicle 100 is in a fully covered state; Figure 2 shows Figure 1 the front view of the vehicle 100 shown; Figure 3 and Figure 4 respectively show Figure 1 perspective views of the vehicle 100 shown in a semi-covered state; and Figure 5 shows Figure 1 the perspective view of the vehicle 100 shown in a fully open state.

[0246] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the vehicle 100 may include a box body 110, a bracket device 120, and a ceiling assembly 130. The box body 110 has a bottom and a peripheral wall 112 connected around the bottom, and forms an accommodation space 113 for a pet to be carried therein. The bracket device 120 is configured such that at least a part of it is disposed below the box body 110 and is used to support the box body 110. In one example, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the bracket device 120 includes a clamping member 1231, which is disposed at an interval below the box body 110 and the box body 110. Specifically, the clamping member 1231 can be an annular structural member. In addition, the clamping member 1231 can also cooperate with the fixed seat assembly and / or the fixed belt assembly, etc., so that the vehicle 100 is fixed to the vehicle seat (not shown in the figure).

[0247] In one example, at least part of the vehicle 100 is sleeved with a seat cloth 150. Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the box body 110 can include a main body 111 and a seat cloth 150 covering the outside of the main body 111. In this embodiment, the seat cloth 150 at least partially covers the box body 110, and the clamping member 1231 of the bracket device 120 is located outside the seat cloth 150. In another embodiment, the seat cloth 150 can also cover a part of the bracket device 120, and the clamping member 1231 is still located outside the seat cloth 150, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In one example, the main body 111 can be a foam body, for example, it can be made of foam materials such as expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polyethylene (EPE), expanded ethylene (EPO), etc.

[0248] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the ceiling assembly 130 can include a ceiling frame 131 and a ceiling 133. The ceiling 133 covers the box body 110 above to cover the accommodation space 113 of the box body 110 (see Figure 3 ). The ceiling frame 131 is connected to the ceiling 133 and supports the ceiling 133. The ceiling frame 131 is pivotally connected to the box body 110 so that the ceiling 133 can be unfolded or folded relative to the box body 110. In other embodiments, the bracket device 120 can also include a first bracket (not shown in the figure because it is blocked by the seat cloth 150) surrounding the box body 110, and the ceiling frame 131 can be pivotally connected to the first bracket. Optionally, the first bracket can be disposed near the opening above the box body 110, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0249] In this embodiment, the ceiling frame 131 can include a first frame 1311 and a second frame 1312. The first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 are respectively pivotally connected to the box body 110 and can pivot relative to each other to approach or move away from each other. Further in combination with Figures 3 to 5, the first frame 1311 can pivot relative to the box body 110 between a first position and a second position, wherein when the first frame 1311 pivots to its first position, it is substantially parallel to the upper edge 114 of the box body 110, and when pivoting to its second position, it is substantially perpendicular to the upper edge 114 of the box body 110. Correspondingly, the second frame 1312 can also pivot relative to the box body 110 between a first position and a second position, wherein when the second frame 1312 pivots to its first position, it is substantially parallel to the upper edge 114 of the box body 110, and when pivoting to its second position, it is substantially perpendicular to the upper edge 114 of the box body 110. That is to say, when the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 are both in their respective first positions, it can be considered that the two are farthest from each other; and when the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 are in their respective second positions, it can be considered that the two are closest to each other. Of course, when the first frame 1311 or the second frame 1312 is pivoted alone, without interference, the first frame 1311 or the second frame 1312 can also pivot to other positions beyond its second position, such as continuing to pivot a certain angle beyond the second position, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0250] Specifically, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, both ends of the first frame 1311 can be pivotally connected to both sides of the box body 110 through the first pivot parts 1313 respectively, and both ends of the second frame 1312 can be pivotally connected to both sides of the box body 110 through the second pivot parts 1314 respectively. For example, both ends of the first frame 1311 can be respectively arranged on both sides of the box body 110 along the width direction D1 (that is, two opposite long sides), and both ends of the second frame 1312 can also be respectively arranged on both sides of the box body 110 along the width direction D1. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 are arranged adjacent to each other, that is, the first pivot parts 1313 and the second pivot parts 1314 on the same side are adjacent to each other.

[0251] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 , in this embodiment, the first pivot parts 1313 and the second pivot parts 1314 can be arranged outside the peripheral wall 112 of the box body 110 and below the upper edge 114 of the box body 110 (that is, lower than the upper edge 114). In other words, when the first frame 1311 and / or the second frame 1312 of the ceiling frame 131 pivots to the first position, it is located below the upper edge 114 of the box body 110.

[0252] The first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 can each be in a U-shaped structure, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto and can also have other shapes, as long as they can surround the box body 110 when placed substantially parallel to the upper edge of the box body 110.

[0253] In one embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the ceiling 133 includes a first shed portion 1331 and a second shed portion 1332. The first shed portion 1331 and the second shed portion 1332 can be respectively deployed or folded relative to the box body 110. For example, the ceiling 133 of this embodiment has three usage states: a full-cover state, a semi-cover state, and a fully-open state. As Figure 1 shown, when both the first shed portion 1331 and the second shed portion 1332 are deployed, that is, when the ceiling 133 is fully deployed, the ceiling 133 is in the full-cover state. As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, when one of the first shed portion 1331 and the second shed portion 1332 is deployed and the other is folded, the ceiling 133 is in the semi-cover state, and at this time at least a part of the accommodation space 113 of the vehicle 100 is exposed, for example, half of the accommodation space 113 is exposed. As Figure 5 shown, when both the first shed portion 1331 and the second shed portion 1332 are folded, that is, when the ceiling 133 is fully folded, the ceiling 133 is in the fully-open state, and at this time the accommodation space 113 of the vehicle 100 is completely exposed.

[0254] Generally, the user can use the full-cover state during the transportation of the vehicle 100 to ensure better protection of the pet in the vehicle 100; when the user needs to take the pet in or out of the vehicle 100, the semi-cover state can be used; and the fully-open state is the state adopted by the box body 100 during factory packaging. The box body 100 in this state has a relatively small volume, so it is also suitable for the user to store the vehicle 100 when not in use.

[0255] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, the first shed portion 1331 has a first edge 1331a and a second edge 1331b, where the first edge 1331a is the edge that engages with the periphery of the box body 110 when the first shed portion 1331 is deployed, and the second edge 1331b is the edge that is away from the box body 110 when the first shed portion 1331 is deployed. Correspondingly, the second shed portion 1332 has a first edge 1332a and a second edge 1332b, where the first edge 1332a is the edge that engages with the periphery of the box body 110 when the second shed portion 1332 is deployed, and the second edge 1332b is the edge that is away from the box body 110 when the second shed portion 1332 is deployed. As Figure 2As shown, when the first awning part 1331 is deployed, the first edge 1331a and the second edge 1331b of the first awning part 1331 are substantially perpendicular to each other. Correspondingly, when the second awning part 1332 is deployed, the first edge 1332a and the second edge 1332b of the second awning part 1332 are substantially perpendicular to each other. When both the first awning part 1331 and the second awning part 1332 are deployed, the second edge 1331b of the first awning part 1331 and the second edge 1332b of the second awning part 1332 are joined to each other to form the entire awning 133.

[0256] In a specific example, the first frame 1311 is connected to one of the first edge 1331a and the second edge 1331b of the first awning part 1331, and the second frame 1312 is connected to one of the first edge 1332a and the second edge 1332b of the second awning part 1332, so that the first awning part 1331 and the second awning part 1332 can be deployed or folded relative to the box body 110.

[0257] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, the first frame 1311 is connected to the second edge 1331b of the first awning part 1331, and the second frame 1312 is connected to the second edge 1332b of the second awning part 1332. When the awning 133 is deployed, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the first frame 1311 pivots relative to the second frame 1312 and approaches each other, so that the first awning part 1331 and the second awning part 1332 approach each other and are joined, for example, the second edge 1331b of the first awning part 1331 and the second edge 1332b of the second awning part 1332 are joined to each other, thereby completely covering the accommodation space 113. At this time, the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 are substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the box body 110 (that is, both are in the second position).

[0258] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, when it is necessary to open the awning 133 to the semi-covered state, that is, when the first awning part 1331 or the second awning part 1332 is folded, one of the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 pivots in a direction away from the other to drive the first awning part 1331 or the second awning part 1332 connected thereto to fold. When the awning 133 is in the semi-covered state, one of the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 is in its first position, and the other is in its second position. As Figure 5As shown, when the ceiling 133 needs to be fully folded, the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 pivot away from each other to drive the folding of the first ceiling part 1331 and the second ceiling part 1332 until both the first frame 1311 and the second frame 1312 are substantially horizontal (i.e., both are in the first position), forming a substantially horizontal frame surrounding the box body 110, so that the ceiling 133 (including the first ceiling part 1331 and the second ceiling part 1332) is fully folded, thereby completely exposing the accommodation space 113. As Figures 3 to 5 shown, when the first ceiling part 1331 and / or the second ceiling part 1332 are folded, they are located below the upper edge 114 of the box body 110 corresponding to the first frame 1311 and / or the second frame 1312 to avoid interfering with the action of the user taking in or taking out the pet.

[0259] Optionally, the first edge 1331a of the first ceiling part 1331 can be non-removably connected to the box body 110, and the first edge 1332a of the second ceiling part 1332 can be non-removably connected to the box body 110. For example, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, the first edge 1331a of the first ceiling part 1331 and the first edge 1332a of the second ceiling part 1332 can be fixedly connected to the seat cloth 150 of the box body 110 by means such as sewing, etc., but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and other methods can also be used to achieve the fixed connection. That is, in this embodiment, whether the first ceiling part 1331 and / or the second ceiling part 1332 are unfolded or folded, the first edge 1331a of the first ceiling part 1331 and the first edge 1332a of the second ceiling part 1332 are always fixedly connected to the seat cloth 150 and are non-removable.

[0260] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the vehicle 100 may further include a connecting belt 134 and a fixing member 135. The connecting belt 134 has a first end 1341 and a second end 1342, and one of the first end 1341 and the second end 1342 is fixedly connected to the first shed portion 1331 (or the second shed portion 1332) of the ceiling 133. The fixing member 135 includes a female connecting member 1351 and a male connecting member 1352 that are detachably connected to each other, and are respectively disposed on the other of the first end 1341 and the second end 1342 of the connecting belt 134 and the second shed portion 1332 (or the first shed portion 1331) of the ceiling 133, for keeping the first shed portion 1331 and the second shed portion 1332 engaged with each other. For example, in this embodiment, the first end 1341 of the connecting belt 134 may be fixedly connected to the first shed portion 1331 by sewing or the like, the second end 1342 of the connecting belt 134 is provided with a female connecting member 1351, and a male connecting member 1352 is correspondingly provided on the second shed portion 1332. When the first shed portion 1331 and the second shed portion 1332 are engaged with each other (i.e., in the fully covered state), the female connecting member 1351 and the male connecting member 1352 of the fixing member 135 can cooperate with each other to connect and fix the first shed portion 1331 and the second shed portion 1332, so as to prevent the first shed portion 1331 and the second shed portion 1332 from separating during the movement of the box body 110.

[0261] In one example, as Figure 1 shown, the connecting belt 134 may be composed of a single connecting webbing, which passes through the female connecting member 1351 of the fixing member 135, and both ends of the connecting webbing are fixed to the ceiling 133. In addition, the fixing member 135 may adopt a magnetic buckle structure, that is, the female connecting member 1351 and the male connecting member 1352 may be a female buckle and a male buckle that cooperate with each other. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the fixing member 135 may also use a zipper, a hook-and-loop fastener (such as Velcro), a snap fastener, a plug fastener, a hanging fastener, a hook fastener, etc.

[0262] Referring to Figures 6 to 15 , a vehicle 200 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Specifically, Figure 6 a perspective view of a vehicle 200 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, wherein the vehicle 200 is in the fully covered state; Figure 7 shown is Figure 6 a front view of the vehicle 200 shown; Figure 8 shown is Figure 6 another perspective view of the vehicle 200 shown, wherein the ceiling 230 is removed to show the specific structure of the ceiling frame 231; Figure 9 shown is Figure 8 a perspective view of the vehicle 200 shown after the seat cloth 250 is removed; Figure 10 shown is Figure 9 a partial exploded perspective view of the vehicle 200 shown; Figure 11 and Figure 12 respectively showFigure 6 Stereogram of the vehicle 200 shown in a semi-cover state; Figure 13 Shown Figure 6 Stereogram of the vehicle 200 shown in a fully open state; and Figure 14 And Figure 15 Shown Figure 6 Front view and stereogram of the vehicle 200 shown in another fully open state.

[0263] As Figures 6 to 9 shown, the vehicle 200 may include a box body 210, a bracket device 220, and a roof assembly 230. The box body 210 has a bottom and a peripheral wall 212 connected around the bottom, and forms a receiving space 213 for a pet to be carried therein. The bracket device 220 is configured such that at least a part of it is disposed below the box body 210 and supports the box body 210. The box body 210 may include a main body 211 and a seat cloth 250 covering the outside of the main body 211. As Figure 6 shown, the seat cloth 250 at least partially covers the box body 210, and optionally, the seat cloth 250 may also at least partially cover the bracket device 220, and a part of the bracket device 220 (such as the engaging member 2231) is located outside the seat cloth 250 for installation and fixation. In one example, the main body 211 may be a foam body, for example, it may be made of foamed materials such as expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polyethylene (EPE), expanded ethylene (EPO), etc.

[0264] As Figure 9 shown, in this embodiment, the bracket device 220 may include a first bracket 221, a second bracket 222, and a third bracket 223. The first bracket 221 is disposed substantially horizontally at the upper end of the bracket device 220, surrounds the box body 210 and is close to the opening of the box body 210 (i.e., close to the upper edge 214 of the box body 210, but at a certain distance). The third bracket 223 is disposed substantially horizontally at the lower end of the bracket device 220, and includes an engaging member 2231, which is spaced from the box body 210 below the box body 210 for cooperating with a fixed seat assembly and / or a fixed belt assembly, etc. to fix the vehicle 200 to a vehicle seat. The second bracket 222 is connected between the first bracket 221 and the third bracket 223, wherein the second bracket 222 includes a plurality of parallel U-shaped structures and forms the side frame and bottom frame of the bracket device 220 to contact and support the side surface and bottom surface of the box body 210. Combining Figure 8 and Figure 9 , when the outside of the box body 210 is covered with the seat cloth 250, the seat cloth 250 covers the first bracket 221 and the second bracket 222 of the bracket device 220, while the third bracket 223 is exposed outside the seat cloth 250 to achieve cooperation with a fixed seat assembly and / or a fixed belt assembly, etc.

[0265] The ceiling assembly 230 may include a ceiling frame 231 and a ceiling 233. The ceiling 233 covers the upper part of the box body 210 to cover the accommodation space 213 of the box body 210. The ceiling frame 231 connects and supports the ceiling 233. The ceiling frame 231 is pivotally connected to the box body 210 or the bracket device 220 so that the ceiling 233 can be deployed or folded relative to the box body 210.

[0266] Specifically, as Figures 8 to 10 shown, the ceiling frame 231 may include a first frame 2311 and a second frame 2312. Both ends of the first frame 2311 are respectively located on both sides of the box body 210 along the width direction D3 (i.e., two opposite long sides), and are respectively pivotally connected to the bracket device 220 (such as the first bracket 221) through the first pivoting portion 2313. Correspondingly, both ends of the second frame 2312 are respectively located on both sides of the box body 210 along the width direction D3 and are respectively pivotally connected to the bracket device 220 (such as the first bracket 221) through the second pivoting portion 2314, so that the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 can pivot relative to each other to approach or move away from each other. In this embodiment, the first pivoting portion 2313 and the second pivoting portion 2314 may be provided outside the peripheral wall 212 of the box body 210 and below the upper edge 214 of the box body 210 (i.e., lower than the upper edge 214).

[0267] The difference from the foregoing embodiment is that the first pivoting portion 2313 and the second pivoting portion 2314 are arranged at least partially overlapping, and optionally, the first pivoting portion 2313 and the second pivoting portion 2314 have the same pivoting point, that is, the first pivoting portion 2313 and the second pivoting portion 2314 are pivotally connected to the bracket device 220 through the same pivot shaft and can pivot relative to each other.

[0268] Refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10, a mounting seat 225 is provided on the support device 220 for mounting the ceiling frame 231. In one example, two mounting seats 225 can be provided, respectively located on both sides of the box body 210 along the width direction D3 (i.e., the opposite long sides). Optionally, the two mounting seats 225 are respectively located at the middle positions of the two long sides of the box body 210. Each mounting seat 225 includes a first mounting portion 2251 and a second mounting portion 2252. The second mounting portion 2252 is provided on the support device 220, such as the first support 221. In one example, the second mounting portion 2252 can be a clamp for clamping on the first support 221 and can be further fixedly connected by screws or the like. The first mounting portion 2251 is provided above the second mounting portion 2252 and is configured to connect the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 of the ceiling frame 231. In this embodiment, first pivot holes can be respectively provided at the first pivot portions 2313 at both ends of the first frame 2311, second pivot holes can be respectively provided at the second pivot portions 2314 at both ends of the second frame 2312, and a third pivot hole can be provided at the first mounting portion 2251 of the mounting seat 225, and the positions of the first pivot hole, the second pivot hole and the third pivot hole correspond to each other. By sequentially passing a pivot shaft through the first pivot hole, the third pivot hole and the second pivot hole, the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 are pivotally connected to the first mounting portion 2251 of the mounting seat 225 and can pivot coaxially relative to each other to pivot between their respective first position, second position and third position. It should be noted that the first position refers to the position where the first frame 2311 or the second frame 2312 pivots to a substantially horizontal position on one side, the second position refers to the position where the first frame 2311 or the second frame 2312 is substantially in a vertical position, and the third position refers to the position where the first frame 2311 or the second frame 2312 continues to pivot to a substantially horizontal position after passing over the second position.

[0269] In one embodiment, the ceiling 133 includes a first shed portion 2331 and a second shed portion 2332 that can be deployed or folded relative to the box body 110. As Figure 7As shown, the first shed portion 2331 has a first edge 2331a and a second edge 2331b. The first edge 2331a is the edge that engages with the periphery of the box body 210 when the first shed portion 2331 is deployed, while the second edge 2331b is the edge that is away from the box body 210 when the first shed portion 2331 is deployed. Correspondingly, the second shed portion 2332 has a first edge 2332a and a second edge 2332b. The first edge 2332a is the edge that engages with the periphery of the box body 210 when the second shed portion 2332 is deployed, while the second edge 2332b is the edge that is away from the box body 210 when the second shed portion 2332 is deployed. When the first shed portion 2331 and the second shed portion 2332 are deployed, the first edge 2331a of the first shed portion 2331 is substantially perpendicular to the second edge 2331b, and the first edge 2332a of the second shed portion 2332 is substantially perpendicular to the second edge 2332b.

[0270] In this embodiment, the first shed portion 2331 and the second shed portion 2332 form an integral ceiling. That is, the first shed portion 2331 and the second shed portion 2332 are integrally formed, or the second edge 2331b of the first shed portion 2331 and the second edge 2332b of the second shed portion 2332 are fixedly connected, for example, by sewing or the like, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0271] Specifically, referring to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figures 11 to 15 , the ceiling 233 has three usage states: a full-cover state, a semi-cover state, and a fully-open state. As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , when both the first shed portion 2331 and the second shed portion 2332 of the ceiling 233 are deployed, the ceiling 233 is in the full-cover state. As shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12 , when the first edge 2331a of the first shed portion 2331 and the first edge 2332a of the second shed portion 2332 are close to each other to be substantially relatively perpendicular, the ceiling 233 is in the semi-cover state. As shown in Figures 13 to 15 , when both the first shed portion 2331 and the second shed portion 2332 are folded, that is, when the ceiling 233 is completely folded, the ceiling 233 is in the fully-open state.

[0272] Different from the foregoing embodiment, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figures 11 to 15 , the first frame 2311 is connected to the first edge 2331a of the first shed portion 2331, and the second frame 2312 is connected to the first edge 2332a of the second shed portion 2332. When the ceiling 233 is deployed, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first frame 2311 pivots relative to the second frame 2312 away from each other until the first edge 2331a of the first shed portion 2331 and the first edge 2332a of the second shed portion 2332 are respectively joined to the box body 210, for example, joined at or below the upper edge of the box body 210, so that the ceiling 233 completely shields the accommodation space 213. At this time, both the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 are in their respective first positions to form a substantially horizontal frame body and surround the peripheral wall 212 of the box body 210.

[0273] As Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown, when the ceiling 233 needs to be opened to the semi-covering state, one of the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 pivots in a direction closer to the other, thereby driving the ceiling 233 (i.e., the first shed portion 2331 and the second shed portion 2332) connected between the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 to fold until the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 are substantially perpendicular to each other. That is, when the ceiling 233 is in the semi-covering state, one of the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 is in its first position, while the other is in its second position. As Figure 13 shown, continue to pivot one of the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 in a direction closer to the other until the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 are both substantially horizontal and adjacent to each other, so that the ceiling 233 (including the first shed portion 2331 and the second shed portion 2332) is completely folded, thereby completely exposing the accommodation space 213, that is, in the fully open state. At this time, the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 are on the same side of the box body 210. That is, one of the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 is in its first position, while the other is in its third position.

[0274] In addition, as Figure 14 and Figure 15 shown, another fully open state is also shown. That is, both the first frame 2311 and the second frame 2312 are pivoted to their respective second positions, that is, both are placed vertically relative to the box body 210. At this time, the accommodation space 213 of the box body 210 can also be completely exposed.

[0275] As Figure 6As shown, the vehicle 200 may further include a connecting belt 234 and a fixing member 235. The connecting belt 234 has a first end 2341 and a second end 2342, and one of the first end 2341 and the second end 2342 is fixedly connected to the ceiling 233. The fixing member 235 includes a female connecting member 2351 and a male connecting member 2352 that are detachably connected to each other, and are respectively disposed on the other of the first end 2341 and the second end 2342 of the connecting belt 234 and the box body 210, for keeping the ceiling 233 closed relative to the box body 210.

[0276] For example, in this embodiment, the connecting belt 234 and the corresponding fixing member 235 are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the vehicle 200 along the length direction D2. As Figure 6 shown, taking the connecting belt 234 and the corresponding fixing member 235 near the second shed portion 2332 as an example, the first end 2341 of the connecting belt 234 may be fixedly connected to the second shed portion 2332 by sewing or the like. The second end 2342 of the connecting belt 234 is provided with a female connecting member 2351, and a male connecting member 2352 is correspondingly provided on the box body 210. It can be understood that the connecting belt 234 and the corresponding fixing member 235 may also be provided on the side of the box body 210 near the first shed portion 2331. When the ceiling 233 is in the fully covered state, that is, when both the first shed portion 2331 and the second shed portion 2332 are unfolded, the female connecting member 2351 and the male connecting member 2352 of the fixing member 235 can cooperate with each other to fix the first shed portion 2331 and the second shed portion 2332 relative to the box body 210, so as to prevent the first shed portion 2331 and / or the second shed portion 2332 from being lifted (i.e., separated from the box body 210) during the movement of the box body 210.

[0277] When it is necessary to fold the ceiling 233, the user can open the fixing member 235 on one side or both sides, and rotate the ceiling frame (i.e., the first frame 2311 or the second frame 2312) on this side to the other side, so as to fold the ceiling 233, including but not limited to the semi-covered state and the fully open state of the ceiling 233.

[0278] In one example, the fixing member 235 may adopt a magnetic buckle structure, that is, the female connecting member 2351 and the male connecting member 2352 may be a female buckle and a male buckle that cooperate with each other. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the fixing member 235 may also use a zipper, a hook-and-loop fastener (such as Velcro), a snap fastener, a plug fastener, a hanging fastener, a hook fastener, etc.

[0279] In addition, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the box body 210 of this embodiment may further include a handle 260, and the handle 260 may be disposed on the top side of the ceiling 233, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0280] Now refer to Figures 16 to 21, another embodiment of the pet vehicle L2600 is illustrated. As shown, the pet vehicle L2600 has a front side, a rear side, a left side, a right side, and a top formed by the combination of a first part L2602 and a second part L2604. The first part L2602 and the second part L2604 may or may not be separable.

[0281] The pet vehicle L2600 may include a roof unit L2610. The roof unit L2610 includes a roof frame L2612, a roof bow L2614 movable relative to the roof frame L2612, and a roof L2616. The roof bow L2614 may have a first positioning end L2618 and a second positioning end L2620 respectively mounted to the roof frame L2612. The roof bow L2614 may rotate relative to the roof frame L2612 about a mounting axis extending through the first and second positioning ends L2618, L2620. In one embodiment, the roof bow L2614 is respectively mounted near the centers of the front part L26 and the rear part L28 of the pet vehicle L2600, such that a first frame portion L2622 of the roof frame L2612 is disposed on a first side of the mounting axis, and a second frame portion L2624 of the roof frame L2612 is disposed on a second, opposite side of the mounting axis. In the illustrated non - limiting embodiment, the roof bow L2614 may rotate between a first position ( Figure 16 ) and a second position ( Figure 17 ), in the first position, the roof bow L2614 is positioned generally adjacent to and vertically aligned with the first frame portion L2622, and in the second position, the roof bow L2614 is positioned generally adjacent to and vertically aligned with the second frame portion L2624. In one embodiment, the roof bow L2614 may rotate approximately 180 degrees between the first position and the second position. Additionally, it should be understood that the roof bow L2614 may be disposed at one or more positions between the first position and the second position and held or stopped at those positions. Any suitable type of positioning mechanism may be employed to hold the roof bow L2614 at the first position and the second position or at any position along the rotation path therebetween.

[0282] The ceiling L2616 has a body including a first end L2626 and a second end L2628. In the illustrated non-limiting embodiment, one or more structural supports or support bows L2630 are associated with the body of the ceiling L2616 and, in some embodiments, are integrated into the body of the ceiling L2616. The structural support L2630 can be rigid, semi-rigid, and / or elastic and can move about an axis of installation in response to rotation of the ceiling bow L2614. As shown, the first end L2626 of the ceiling L2616 can be connected to the ceiling bow L2614, and the second end L2628 of the ceiling L2616 can be connected to the second frame portion L2624 of the ceiling frame L2612. Thus, when the ceiling bow L2614 is in the first position, the ceiling L2616 extends about the axis of installation from a position generally adjacent the first frame portion L2622 to the second frame portion L2624. When the ceiling bow L2614 is in the first position, the pet carrier L2600 can be considered to be in a closed configuration. Similarly, when the ceiling bow L2614 is in the second position, the first end L2626 of the ceiling L2616 is positioned generally adjacent the second frame portion L2624 of the ceiling L2616 and the second end L2628 of the ceiling L2616. When the ceiling bow L2614 is in the second position, the pet carrier L2600 can be considered to be in a fully open configuration. When the ceiling bow L2614 is located between the first and second positions, as Figure 19B shown, for example, the pet carrier L2600 can be considered to be in a partially open position.

[0283] In one embodiment, the ceiling bow L2614 can have a first portion L2632 of a locking mechanism or other coupling device located thereon, and a second portion L2634 of the locking mechanism or closing device can be provided, for example, on the base L2606 (see Figure 20A ). When the ceiling bow L2614 is in the first position, the first portion L2632 of the locking mechanism can engage the second portion L2634 of the locking mechanism ( Figure 20B ). This engagement operably holds the ceiling bow L2614 in the first position. The locking mechanism formed by the first and second portions L2632, L2634 can provide a reliable mechanical interlock and, in some embodiments, can be a magnetic latch. However, it should be understood that any suitable mechanism for coupling the ceiling bow L2614 to an adjacent portion of the pet carrier L2600 is within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0284] In other embodiments, the pet carrier can include multiple ceiling units. For example, in Figures 22A to 26In a non-limiting embodiment, the shown pet vehicle L2700 includes a first roof unit L2710 positioned adjacent a first side (e.g., left side L30) of the pet vehicle L2700, and a second roof unit L2712 positioned adjacent an opposite second side (e.g., right side L32) of the pet vehicle L2700. In such an embodiment, each roof unit L2710, L2712 includes roof bows L2714a, L2714b that are rotatable relative to roof frames L2716a, L2716b about respective mounting axes. As shown, the mounting axes can be parallel to each other, arranged in the same plane, and separated from each other by a distance.

[0285] The mounting ends L2718a, L2718b, L2720a, L2720b of the roof bows L2714a, L2714b of each roof unit L2710 can be similarly mounted near the centers of the front portion L26 and the rear portion L28 of the pet vehicle L2700. In the shown non-limiting embodiment, the first roof bow L2714a of the first roof unit L2710 is rotatable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the roof bow L2714a is positioned generally adjacent and vertically aligned with the roof frame L2716a. In the second position, the first roof bow L2714a is arranged at a non-parallel angle relative to the roof frame L2716a. In the shown non-limiting embodiment, the second position of the first roof bow L2714a is substantially perpendicular to the first position. In such an embodiment, the first roof bow L2714a can be rotated approximately 90 degrees between the first position and the second position. However, embodiments where the second position is at another angle relative to the first position are also within the scope of the present disclosure. Additionally, it should be understood that the first roof bow L2714a can be arranged in and held or stopped at one or more positions between the first position and the second position.

[0286] The central panel L2722 can be disposed between the first ceiling unit L2710 and the second ceiling unit L2712 respectively, and is coupled to the first ceiling unit L2710 and the second ceiling unit L2712. In one embodiment, the central panel L2722 is fixed relative to the pet carrier L2700 and the base L2706. The first ceiling L2724a of the first ceiling unit L2710 can have a first end L2726a connected to the first ceiling bow L2714a and an opposite second end L2728a connected to the central panel L2722 (such as its edge). In addition, the first ceiling L2710 can include one or more first structural support members or support bows L2730a, which can be operable to maintain the shape of the first ceiling unit L2710 when closed. When the first ceiling bow L2714a is in the first position, the first ceiling L2724a extends from a position substantially adjacent to the ceiling frame L2716a to the central panel L2722. When the first ceiling bow L2714a is in the first position, the first ceiling unit L2710 of the pet carrier L2700 can be considered to be in a closed configuration. Similarly, when the first ceiling bow L2714a is in the second position, the first end L2726a of the first ceiling L2724a is substantially adjacent to the central panel L2722, and thus adjacent to the second end L2728a of the first ceiling L2724a. When the first ceiling bow L2714a is in the second position ( Figure 23 , Figure 25A ), the first ceiling unit L2710 of the pet carrier L2700 can be considered to be in a fully open configuration. When the first ceiling bow L2714a is located at a position between the first position and the second position, the first ceiling L2724a of the pet carrier L2700 can be considered to be in a partially open position. In one embodiment, the central panel L2722 or the ceiling can include retaining means (not shown), which can be operable to hold the first ceiling bow L2714a in the second position.

[0287] It should be understood that the second ceiling unit L2712 can have a configuration similar to that of the first ceiling unit L2710. The first end L2726b of the second ceiling L2724b can be attached to the second ceiling bow L2714b, and the opposite second end L2728b of the second ceiling L2724b can be connected to the central panel L2722. One or more second structural support members or support bows L2730b can be operable to support the middle portion of the second ceiling L2724b. The second ceiling bow L2714b can move from a first position ( Figure 22A , Figure 24A ) disposed adjacent to the ceiling frame L2716b and a second position ( Figure 23 , Figure 25B) Movement. The operation of the second ceiling unit L2712 is substantially similar to that of the first ceiling unit L2710, and thus will not be described in detail herein. In an embodiment of the pet carrier L2700 including the first ceiling unit L2710 and the second ceiling unit L2712, the position of the first ceiling L2724a can be adjusted independently of the second ceiling L2724b.

[0288] Although described as separate first and second ceiling units L2710 and L2712, it should be understood that in other embodiments, a single ceiling unit is also within the scope of the present disclosure, with a single ceiling frame formed by ceiling frames L2716a, L2716b, the single ceiling unit having a first ceiling bow L2714a (rotatable as described above) and a second ceiling bow L2714b (rotatable as described above), and the first ceiling bow L2714a and the second ceiling bow L2714b being mounted at different positions around the single ceiling frame. In such an embodiment, the ceiling unit can include two separate ceilings L2724a, L2724b, which, as described above, are connected by a center panel L2722. A single ceiling L2724 having a first end L2726 connected to the first ceiling bow L2714a and an opposite second end L2728 connected to the second ceiling bow L2714b can also be used. In this configuration, the center of the single ceiling disposed between the first and second ceiling bows L2714a, L2714b will remain stationary relative to the base L2706.

[0289] Similar to Figures 16 to 21 the embodiment of, in this embodiment, each ceiling bow L2714a, L2714b can have a first portion L2732a, L2732b of a locking mechanism or other coupling device located thereon, the first portion L2732a, L2732b configured to cooperate with a second portion (not shown) of a locking mechanism or other coupling device disposed on the base L2706, for example, to hold the ceilings L2724a, L2724b in the closed position.

[0290] In the embodiments shown and described herein, one or more ceiling units L2610, L2710, L2712 are integrated into both the first portions L2602, L2702 and the second portions L2604, L2704 of the pet carriers L2600, L2700. For example, a combination of the ceilings L2616, L2724a, L2724b and the ceiling bows L2614, L2714a, L2714b can form the first portions L2602, L2702 of the pet carriers L2600, L2700, and the ceiling frames L2612, L2716a, L2716b can be mounted to the bases L2606, L2706 of the second portions L2604, L2704. In the non-limiting embodiments shown, the second portions L2604, L2704 include sidewalls L2607, L2707 that project from the bases. In one embodiment, the sidewalls L2607, L2707 extend around the entire periphery of the bases L2606, L2706. The ceiling frames L2612, L2716a, L2716b can be disposed at the sidewalls L2607, L2707. However, embodiments in which the ceiling frames L2612, L2716a, L2716b are also located at the first portions L2602, L2702 of the pet carriers L2600, L2700 are also within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0291] In one embodiment, the ceilings L2616, L2724a, L2724b of the respective ceiling units L2610, L2710, L2712 are permanently coupled to the pet carriers L2600, L2700. However, in one embodiment, as Figure 21 and Figure 26As shown, the ceilings L2616, L2724a, L2724b can be detachably fixed to the pet carriers L2600, L2700, for example, by one or more connectors. In the non-limiting embodiment shown, the connectors L2640, L2740 include a first part L2642, L2742 (such as a buckle) and a second part L2644, L2744 (such as a latch plate slidably received within the buckles L2642, L2742). Although the buckles L2642, L2742 are shown as being mounted at the second parts L2604, L2704, such as at the ceiling frames L2612, L2716a, L2716b, and the latch plates L2644, L2744 are shown as extending from the first parts L2602, L2702, such as from the positioning ends of the ceiling bows L2614, L2714a, L2714b, it should be understood that embodiments where the buckles L2642, L2742 are arranged at the first parts L2602, L2702 and the latch plates L2644, L2744 are arranged at the second parts L2604, L2704 are also contemplated herein. In addition, the connectors L2640, L2740 shown and described herein are merely intended as examples, and any suitable connector operable to releasably couple the first and second parts is within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0292] Various embodiments of the pet carriers L2600, L2700 also include at least one latch connector that can be used to engage corresponding seat anchors (not shown) of a vehicle seat (such as an automobile seat). In the non-limiting embodiment shown, for example Figures 16 to 18B As shown, the carrier L2600 has a plurality of latch connectors, including a first latch connector L70a and a second latch connector L70b. However, embodiments having only a single latch connector or having more than two latch connectors are also contemplated herein. At least one of the latch connectors L70a, L70b can be integral with the carrier L2600. For example, at least one latch connector can be permanently connected to the carrier L2600. Alternatively, at least one latch connector can be removably connected to the carrier L2600.

[0293] In the non-limiting embodiment shown, at least one of the latch connectors L70a, L70b is arranged at the bases L2606, L2706 of the carriers L2600, L2700. It should be understood that embodiments where the latch connector is arranged at another suitable location around the carriers L2600, L2700 are also within the scope of the present application.

[0294] Additionally, although in several embodiments the latch connectors L70a, L70b are shown positioned adjacent the rear sides of the vehicles L2600, L2700, in other embodiments, one or more of the latch connectors L70a, L70b are arranged at the other side of the vehicle L2600, such as arranged at the right side, left side or front side of the vehicle L2600.

[0295] The latch connectors L70a, L70b can be transformed, for example, via a release actuator between a closed or engaged configuration and an open or released configuration. In the closed or engaged configuration, the latching members (not shown) of the latch connectors L70a, L70b are closed or extended. In the open or released configuration, the latching members of the latch connectors L70a, L70b are opened or retracted (not shown) and can thus be separated from the seat anchor of the vehicle. Although not shown, in some embodiments, the release actuator is directly located at the latch connectors L70a, L70b, and the user operates the release actuator of each corresponding latch connector to separate the vehicles L2600, L2700 from the corresponding seat anchor. In some embodiments, the release actuator is provided at the connection position of the handle and the ceiling or other positions. The latch connectors L70a, L70b can be configured to project and extend relative to the bases L2606, L2706 to be in an extended position for engaging with the corresponding seat anchor during use; and to retract into a cavity of the bases L2606, L2706 to be in a retracted position when not in use.

[0296] It should be noted that Figures 16 to 17 and Figure 22A 、 Figure 22B and Figure 23 the vehicles L2600, L2700 shown are not rendered in perspective, while Figures 18A to 19B 、 Figure 21 、 Figures 24A to 27 the ceiling units L2610, L2710, L2712 and the side walls L2607, L2707 in the vehicles L2600, L2700 shown are rendered in perspective. Thus, the ceiling frames L2612, L2716a, L2716b, ceiling bows L2614, first ceiling bow L2714a, second ceiling bow L2714b, and structural supports or support bows L2630, L2730a, L2730b of the ceiling units L2610, L2710, L2712 are shown in the perspective view.

[0297] It should be understood that for the vehicle L2600, refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17, the ceiling frame L2612 (including the first frame part L2622 and the second frame part L2624) is located inside the vehicle L2600. More specifically, the ceiling frame L2612 is located inside the side wall L2607. The ceiling frame L2612 is blocked by the side wall L2607, and the ceiling frame L2612 is lower than the upper edge of the side wall L2607. As Figure 21 , the ceiling bow L2614 is located inside the ceiling L2616. A part of the ceiling bow L2614 (this part is hereinafter referred to as the extension part) extends downward beyond the edge of the ceiling. See Figures 18A to 18B and Figure 19C , when the ceiling bow L2614 is in the first position or the second position, the extension part of the ceiling bow L2614 is located inside the side wall L2607 and above the ceiling frame L2612. Thus, the ceiling bow L2614 will be located inside the ceiling L2616 and the side wall L2607 and be blocked, and the first part L2642 of the connector L2640 will also be located inside the vehicle L2600 and be blocked. The user can drive the ceiling bow L2614 to move between the first position and the second position by operating the first part L2632 of the locking mechanism.

[0298] Correspondingly, for the vehicle L2700, see Figures 22A to 23 , the ceiling frames L2716a, L2716b are located inside the vehicle L2700. More specifically, the ceiling frames L2716a, L2716b are located inside the side wall L2707. The ceiling frames L2716a, L2716b are blocked by the side wall L2707, and the ceiling frames L2716a, L2716b are lower than the upper edge of the side wall L2707. As Figure 24A and Figure 24B , the first ceiling bow L2714a and the second ceiling bow L2714b are located inside the ceilings L2724a, L2724b. A part of the first ceiling bow L2714a (this part is hereinafter referred to as the first extension part) and a part of the second ceiling bow L2714b (this part is hereinafter referred to as the second extension part) extend downward beyond the edge of the ceiling. See Figures 24A to 24B, when the first roof bow L2714a is in the first position, the first extension of the first roof bow L2714a is located inside the side wall L2707 and above the roof frame L2716a. The first roof bow L2714a will be located inside the roof L2724a and the side wall L2707 and will be blocked. When the second roof bow L2714b is in the first position, the second extension of the second roof bow L2714b is located inside the side wall L2707 and above the roof frame L2716b. The second roof bow L2714b will be located inside the roof L2724b and the side wall L2707 and will be blocked. The first part L2742 of the connector L2740 will also be located inside the vehicle L2700 and will be blocked. The user can drive the first roof bow L2714a and the second roof bow L2714b to move between the first position and the second position by operating the first parts L2732a, L2732b of the locking mechanism respectively.

[0299] Reference Figure 27 , which shows another embodiment of the pet vehicle M320. In this embodiment, most of the pet vehicle M320 is structurally similar to the pet vehicle of the aforementioned roofed embodiment. In this example, the roof M370 can only pivot 90 degrees and is opened about half compared to the roof of the aforementioned pet vehicle. Opposite the roof M370 is the enclosed side M321 of the vehicle M320. In the embodiment, the enclosed side M321 is adjacent to the central panel with a handle. In the embodiment, the enclosed side M321 can have a window, a zipper door, etc.

[0304] Refer to Figure 30 and Figure 31 describe the specific structure of the base N500.

[0305] For ease of description, in this article, the front-back direction of the base N500 is referred to as the longitudinal direction, the left-right direction of the base N500 is referred to as the transverse direction, and the up-down direction of the base N500 is referred to as the vertical direction. It should be understood that the vertical, longitudinal, and transverse directions do not have to be strictly vertical or horizontal directions, but can have a certain inclination angle, and the vertical, longitudinal, and transverse directions do not have to be perpendicular to each other. The base N500 includes at least one base rod N510 and an outer cover N520. The base rod N510 is fixed to the main pipe N530 of the base N500, such as by welding to the main pipe N530 or being fixedly connected by clamping or other means, not limited to this. In this embodiment, two base rods N510 are arranged along the longitudinal direction and are respectively fixed to the main pipe N530 to stably engage with the vehicle N400. The engaging structure N100 includes an engaging hook N120. When the vehicle N400 is engaged with the base N500, the engaging hook N120 of the engaging structure N100 is connected to the base rod N510 (see Figure 41A ). The outer cover N520 covers the top surface of the base N500 and forms at least one base engaging groove N540. In this embodiment, an engaging rod N410 is provided at the bottom surface of the vehicle N400 (see Figure 29 ). A base engaging groove N540 is provided on each side of the two base rods N510 in the transverse direction to accommodate the engaging rod N410 at the bottom surface of the vehicle N400.

[0306] Refer to Figures 32 to 33 describe the situation where the vehicle N400 according to the present application is applied to the trolley N600.

[0307] The frame of the trolley N600 may be provided with a trolley engaging groove N610, which is similar to the base engaging groove N540 of the base N500. The engaging rod N410 of the vehicle N400 can be engaged into the trolley engaging groove N610 so that the vehicle N400 and the trolley N600 are integrated. In this embodiment, the trolley N600 does not have a component for connecting to the engaging structure N100. However, in other embodiments, the trolley N600 may also be provided with a component similar to the base rod N510 for connecting to the engaging structure N100.

[0308] Refer to Figures 34 to 36 The vehicle N400 according to the present application is further described.

[0309] In this embodiment, the vehicle N400 includes a box body N420, a first support tube N430, two second support tubes N440, and an engaging rod N410.

[0310] The box body N420 is generally rectangular and has opposite top and bottom surfaces. The first support tube N430 is close to the top surface of the box body N420 and surrounds the circumferential side of the box body N420 to form an annular shape surrounding in the transverse and longitudinal directions. The two second support tubes N440 are arranged in the transverse direction. Each second support tube N440 is U-shaped, connected to both sides of the first support tube N430 and surrounding the bottom surface of the box body N420. In this way, the first support tube N430 and the second support tubes N440 form a frame surrounding the box body N420.

[0311] The engaging rod N410 is disposed below the bottom surface of the box body N420 and forms an annular shape along the circumferential side of the box body N420. As described above, the engaging rod N410 can be engaged into the base engaging groove N540 of the base N500 so that the vehicle N400 is fixed to the base N500. The engaging structure N100 is disposed on the engaging rod N410 and can be engaged into the base rod N510 of the base N500 to be in a locked state.

[0312] More specifically, the engaging structure N100 is disposed below the bottom surface of the vehicle N400 and near the longitudinal side of the vehicle N400, and the unlocking structure N200 is disposed on the transverse side of the vehicle N400 and near the top surface of the vehicle N400. In this way, the unlocking structure N200 is in a position that is easily observable and operable by the user, improving the user experience. In contrast, in the prior art, the unlocking structure N200 is disposed near the engaging structure N100, so it is inevitably located at the bottom of the vehicle N400 or disposed on the base N500, and the user needs to bypass the entire vehicle N400 with their hand to reach the unlocking structure N200, which is not convenient for the user's observation and operation.

[0313] In the present application, a single unlocking structure N200 can control multiple engaging structures N100 at the same time. Refer to Figure 35, the engaging structure N100 includes a first engaging structure N101 and a second engaging structure N102 symmetrically arranged along the longitudinal direction. The unlocking structure N200 includes a first unlocking structure N201. The first unlocking structure N201 is connected to the first engaging structure N101 and the second engaging structure N102 respectively through two connecting members N300, and can be operated to unlock the first engaging structure N101 and the second engaging structure N102 simultaneously. The specific structure of the unlocking structure N200 will be explained in detail below.

[0314] In this application, the vehicle N400 may include a plurality of engaging groups formed by the engaging structure N100 and the unlocking structure N200. Each engaging group includes an associated engaging structure N100 and unlocking structure N200. Continuing to refer to Figure 35 , the first engaging structure N101, the second engaging structure N102, and the first unlocking structure N201 form an engaging group. In addition, the engaging structure N100 further includes a third engaging structure N103 and a fourth engaging structure N104 symmetrically arranged along the longitudinal direction, and the unlocking structure N200 includes a second unlocking structure N202. The second unlocking structure N202 is connected to the third engaging structure N103 and the fourth engaging structure N104 respectively through two connecting members N300, and can be operated to unlock the third engaging structure N103 and the fourth engaging structure N104 simultaneously. Therefore, the third engaging structure N103, the fourth engaging structure N104, and the second unlocking structure N202 form another engaging group. When the vehicle N400 is engaged with the base N500, the engaging structure N100 in any engaging group can be connected to the engaging rod N410 of the base N500 (see Figure 31 ). In this way, a plurality of engaging groups provide multiple position options for engaging the vehicle N400 with the base N500.

[0315] In this embodiment, the first engaging structure N101 and the second engaging structure N102 are located on one lateral side of the vehicle N400, for example Figure 35 the right side, while the third engaging structure N103 and the fourth engaging structure N104 are located on the other lateral side of the vehicle N400, for example Figure 35 the left side. Correspondingly, the first unlocking structure N201 is located at the center of one lateral side of the vehicle N400, and the second unlocking structure N202 is located at the center of the other lateral side of the vehicle N400. In other embodiments, the positions of the respective engaging structures N100 can be flexibly set according to requirements.

[0316] Referring to Figures 37 to 39 Describe the engaging structure N100 in further detail. The engaging structure N100 includes: a mounting member N110, an engaging hook N120, a rotating shaft N130, a first pin N140 (for the rotating shaft N130 and the first pin N140, please refer to Figure 41A , Figure 41B) The first elastic member N150 and the mounting base N160.

[0317] The mounting base N160 is mounted to the engaging rod N410 of the vehicle N400 and at least partially accommodates the mounting member N110. The mounting member N110 is inserted into the mounting base N160 and accommodates the engaging hook N120, the rotating shaft N130, the first pin N140 (see Figure 41A 、 Figure 41B ) and the first elastic member N150. More specifically, the mounting member N110 has a hollow structure, and the engaging hook N120 is accommodated in the mounting member N110.

[0318] The mounting member N110 includes a rotating shaft hole N111, a guiding hole N112, and an engaging hole N113. The rotating shaft hole N111 extends through the mounting member N110 in the transverse direction. The rotating shaft N130 of the engaging structure N100 (see Figure 41A 、 Figure 41B ) is disposed in the rotating shaft hole N111, and the engaging hook N120 rotates around the rotating shaft N130, that is, the engaging hook N120 swings around the transverse axis. The first elastic member N150 is disposed around the rotating shaft N130. In this embodiment, the first elastic member N150 is a torsion spring, and its two ends respectively abut against the inner wall of the mounting member N110 and the engaging hook N120, and is configured to bias the engaging hook N120 towards the locking position (to be described in detail below). The guiding hole N112 extends through the mounting member N110 in the transverse direction and is a long hole extending in the vertical direction. The engaging hole N113 extends through the mounting member N110 in the transverse direction and opens towards the bottom surface of the mounting member N110.

[0319] The engaging hook N120 includes a pivot end N121 and a hook portion N122 that are opposite to each other. The pivot end N121 is pivotally connected to the mounting member N110 through the rotating shaft N130 (see Figure 41A 、 Figure 41B ). The hook portion N122 can swing around the pivot end N121. The engaging hook N120 includes a hook recess N125 that is outwardly open between the hook portion N122 and the pivot end N121. When the engaging hook N120 is in the locked state, the hook recess N125 can lock to the base rod N510 of the base N500 (see Figure 41A ) to prevent relative movement between the vehicle N400 and the base N500. A circumferentially continuous sliding groove N123 is also formed between the hook portion N122 and the pivot end N121, which is specifically a long groove extending obliquely. The first pin N140 is inserted into the sliding groove N123 and can move within the sliding groove N123. When the first pin N140 moves within the sliding groove N123, it can drive the swing of the engaging hook N120.

[0320] The mounting base N160 is sleeved outside the mounting member N110 and includes: two mounting holes N161, a clamping groove N163, and a buffer pad N162. The two mounting holes N161 are respectively located on the lateral sides of the mounting base N160. The clamping rods N410 are respectively inserted (specifically, inserted through the side holes N164 on both sides) into the mounting base N160 at the lateral sides. Two fasteners such as screws respectively fix the mounting base N160 to the clamping rods N410 through the two mounting holes N161. The clamping groove N163 is located on the bottom surface of the mounting base N160. The clamping hole N113 of the mounting member N110 communicates with the clamping groove N163 and faces the outside of the clamping structure N100 through the clamping groove N163. The buffer pad N162 is arranged on the bottom surface of the mounting base N160 so that the vehicle N400 can be stably placed on the ground or the tabletop after detaching from the base N500.

[0321] In this embodiment, the mounting member N110 and the mounting base N160 are two mutually assembled components. However, in other embodiments, the mounting member N110 and the mounting base N160 can be a single integrally formed component.

[0322] In addition, in this embodiment, the connecting member N300 is a traction line, including a cable N310, a cable sleeve N320, a first end N330, and a second end N340 (see Figure 44 ). The cable sleeve N320 is embedded in the vehicle N400. The cable N310 is arranged in the cable sleeve N320 and connected to the first end N330 and the second end N340. Therefore, the movement of the first end N330 can be transmitted to the second end N340. In other embodiments, the connecting member N300 can also be an integrally formed elastic strip, etc., not limited to the description in this embodiment.

[0323] Combined with Figure 39 , the first end N330 of the cable N310 is connected to the clamping structure N100. The first end N330 is sleeved on the first pin N140 to drive the linear movement of the first pin N140.

[0324] Referring to Figures 40 to 41B to describe the specific structure and operation of the clamping structure N100.

[0325] The first pin N140 is linearly movably arranged in the mounting member N110. Specifically, it is arranged in the guiding hole N112 of the mounting member N110 (see Figure 39 ) to move along the guiding hole N112. The first pin N140 is inserted into the sliding groove N123 of the clamping hook N120, so that the linear movement of the first pin N140 drives the clamping hook N120 to swing between the locking position ( Figure 41A ) and the unlocking position ( Figure 41B ).

[0326] Figure 41AIt shows that the vehicle N400 is engaged with the base N500 in place, and the engagement structure N100 is in the locked state. At this time, the base rod N510 of the base N500 is received in the engagement hole N113, and when the engagement hook N120 is in the locked state, the hook recess N125 of the engagement hook N120 corresponds to the position of the engagement hole N113 to engage with the base rod N510.

[0327] When the user needs to unlock the engagement structure N100, they pull the connecting member N300 through the unlocking structure N200, so that the first end N330 of the connecting member N300 drives the first pin N140 to linearly move relative to the mounting member N110, specifically to move upward vertically. At this time, while the first pin N140 slides along the sliding groove N123, it drives the engagement hook N120 to rotate upward, that is, rotate in the counterclockwise direction in Figure 41A and Figure 41B so that the hook recess N125 of the engagement hook N120 disengages from the base rod N510. Therefore, the engagement structure N100 reaches the Figure 41B shown unlocked state, and the vehicle N400 can be detached from the base N500.

[0328] Refer to Figures 42 to 43B for a description of the specific structure of the unlocking structure N200. The unlocking structure N200 includes: an operating member N210, a second pin N220, a third pin N240, and a second elastic member N230.

[0329] The operating member N210 is set in the form of a block-shaped handle and can be operated from the outside of the vehicle N400 to move vertically between an initial state ( Figure 43A ) and a pressed state ( Figure 43B ). An operating member groove N211 extending vertically and at least one inclined groove N212 extending obliquely are provided in the operating member N210.

[0330] The second pin N220 is linearly movable (specifically, horizontally movable) and is arranged in the unlocking structure N200 and inserted into the inclined groove N212 of the operating member N210 to convert the vertical movement of the operating member N210 into the horizontal movement of the second end N340 of the connecting member N300. A horizontally extending sliding groove (not shown) can be provided in the first support tube N430 to guide the horizontal movement of the second pin N220. The third pin N240 is fixed to the vehicle N400 and inserted into the operating member groove N211 of the operating member N210 to guide the vertical movement of the operating member N210. The second end N340 of the connecting member N300 is sleeved on the second pin N220. In this way, when the operating member N210 moves to the pressed state, the inclined groove N212 of the operating member N210 drives the second pin N220 to linearly move to pull the second end N340 of the connecting member N300, and further makes the first end N330 of the connecting member N300 drive the engagement structure N100 to move to the unlocked state.

[0331] Two second pins N220 can be inserted into two inclined slots N212 of the operating member N210 respectively on the longitudinal two sides, and are respectively connected to the second ends N340 of two connecting members N300. Therefore, the operating member N210 can drive the two connecting members N300 simultaneously, so that an unlocking structure N200 unlocks two engaging structures N100 simultaneously.

[0332] The second elastic member N230 biases the operating member N210 towards the initial state, so that the operating member N210 without external force is in the initial state. More specifically, the second elastic member N230 is a coil spring, one end of which abuts against the inner wall of the first support tube N430 of the box body N420, and the other end abuts against the top surface of the operating member N210 to bias the operating member N210 downward towards the initial state.

[0333] In summary, the present application provides a vehicle, which has an engaging structure and an unlocking structure, and the engaging structure and the unlocking structure are respectively located at different positions of the vehicle. In addition, the specific structure of the vehicle in the present application is beneficial to the stability of its force, and can avoid the deformation and overturning of the vehicle.
