Description

Technical field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of baby products, and in particular to a foldable basket structure. [Background Technology]

[0004] As a common device for infant travel, infant carriers are widely used by parents to carry their babies on daily trips due to their convenience and safety. Their original design intention was to provide a comfortable and safe lying environment for infants, while making it convenient for adults to carry and move the infants. Usually, an infant carrier consists of a basket body and an inverted U-shaped handle connected to both sides of the basket body, making it convenient for adults to carry the basket by hand or install it on a stroller or car seat.

[0005] Existing designs of infant carriers mainly adopt an integrated body shell structure. This design provides stable support and good safety, but at the same time it also brings some shortcomings in use. Due to its fixed overall structure, the carrier cannot be disassembled or folded when not in use, resulting in a large volume burden when storing and carrying. This overly large design increases the difficulty of storage and transportation for users with limited family space. Especially when parents need to go out or travel frequently, the portability of the infant carrier becomes particularly important.

[0006] Due to the lack of portability in existing infant carriers, users often feel inconvenienced when taking public transportation or traveling. The bulky structure not only takes up space in the car or luggage compartment, but also increases the burden of carrying. This is especially not ideal for users with small cars or those who need to use the infant carrier frequently in multiple occasions. [Utility Model Content]

[0008] In view of the technical problems mentioned above, the infant carrier in the prior art is usually an integrated body shell, which is bulky when stored or carried, inconvenient to carry, and occupies a large space.

[0009] This application is implemented by the following technical solutions:

[0010] A foldable basket structure, comprising:

[0011] a first shell;

[0012] a second shell capable of supporting an infant, the second shell being provided with an expanded position and a collapsed position;

[0013] a linkage component located between the first shell and the second shell, the linkage component enabling the first shell to reciprocate between an extended position and a retracted position relative to the second shell, and when the first shell moves relatively to the retracted position, the second shell retracts toward the inside of the first shell;

[0014] The locking assembly is provided between the first shell and the second shell, and the locking assembly can lock the first shell in the expanded position.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages:

[0016] The utility model discloses a foldable basket structure, which relates to the field of baby products. The basket comprises a first shell, a second shell, a linkage component and a locking assembly. When the basket is in the expanded position, the first shell and the second shell are in the expanded state through the linkage component, and the second shell extends outward on the first shell, and the locking assembly will firmly lock the first shell in the expanded position of the second shell; when the basket needs to be folded, the locking assembly is released, and the second shell is moved relatively toward the inside of the first shell through the linkage component, and the second shell gradually approaches and retracts into the inside of the first shell, so that the entire basket is compactly folded; the basket design has simple expansion and folding operations, and the user can change the state of the basket by unlocking the locking assembly and applying force, the operation steps are simple, and when the basket is in the folded state, the volume of the basket can be greatly reduced, and the storage and carrying of the basket are more convenient.

[0031] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by this application more clearly understood, this application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0032] When the embodiments of the present application mention ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second", unless they actually express the meaning of order according to the context, they should be understood as being merely for the purpose of distinction.

[0033] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, a collapsible basket structure of this embodiment includes:

[0035] a first housing 1;

[0036] A second shell 2, which can support an infant, and has an expanded position 21 and a collapsed position 22;

[0037] A linkage component is located between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2. The linkage component enables the first shell 1 to reciprocate between an expanded position 21 and a retracted position 22 relative to the second shell 2. When the first shell 1 moves relatively to the retracted position 22, the second shell 2 moves toward the inner side of the first shell 1 and retracts; when the first shell 1 moves relatively to the expanded position 21, the second shell 2 expands toward the outer side of the first shell 1.

[0038] The locking assembly 4 is provided between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 . The locking assembly 4 can lock the first shell 1 in the extended position 21 or the retracted position 22 .

[0039] Specifically, when the carrier is in the unfolded position, the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are in a fully unfolded state through the linkage component, and the second shell 2 extends outward on the first shell 1. Figures 3 and 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the second shell 2 can be moved downward relative to the first shell 1 to form sufficient space for the baby. At this time, the locking assembly 4 will firmly lock the first shell 1 in the unfolded position 21 of the second shell 2, ensuring that the basket body remains stable during use and does not accidentally fold or move. In this state, the basket provides a safe and comfortable space for the baby to lie down, and is suitable for installation in a vehicle or combined use on a baby stroller.

[0040] When the basket needs to be folded, the locking assembly 4 is released, allowing the first shell 1 to move relative to the second shell 2. At this time, the second shell 2 moves relatively toward the inside of the first shell 1 through the linkage component. Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the second shell 2 can move upward relative to the first shell 1. As the first shell 1 moves relative to the second shell 2, the second shell 2 gradually moves closer to and retracts into the inner side of the first shell 1, ultimately achieving compact folding of the entire basket.

[0041] Preferably, the locking assembly 4 of this embodiment can firmly lock the first shell 1 in the folded position 22 to ensure that the basket is fixed in the folded state to avoid accidental expansion or loosening. The space occupied by the folded basket is greatly reduced, making it easy to carry or store.

[0042] Specifically, due to the foldable structure of this design, the design allows the user to easily switch the basket between the expanded and folded states. When expanded, the basket can provide sufficient space and comfort for the baby to lie down, and when folded, the basket can be easily compressed into a compact form, so that the volume of the basket can be greatly reduced when not in use. Compared with the traditional one-piece design basket, it is more convenient to store and carry. Whether it is stored at home, placed in the trunk of a car, or carried on a trip, users can deal with space issues more flexibly.

[0043] Furthermore, the basket design is easy to unfold and fold. Users can change the state by unlocking the locking component and applying a slight force. The entire process does not require complicated tools or additional accessories. The operation steps are simple, which is convenient for parents to operate quickly. When the basket is in the folded state, it is easy for users to carry it.

[0044] In other embodiments, the locking assembly 4 only locks the first shell 1 at the extended position 21 of the second shell 2 and does not lock the first shell 1 at the retracted position 22 of the second shell 2. An appropriate design can be selected according to actual needs.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the linkage component of this embodiment includes a sliding assembly 3, and the sliding assembly 3 can realize sliding connection between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2.

[0046] Specifically, the design of the sliding assembly 3 enables the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 to slide along each other's contact surfaces. Usually, this sliding connection can be achieved through components such as tracks, guide rails or slide grooves, making the movement between the two shells smoother.

[0047] When the basket needs to be folded, the user can apply a slight force to drive the first shell 1 to slide relatively toward the second shell 2, so that the second shell 2 moves toward the inside of the first shell 1 and folds.

[0048] On the contrary, when the basket needs to be unfolded, the first shell 1 is driven to slide relatively in a direction away from the second shell 2, so that the second shell 2 is unfolded outward on the first shell 1 and restored to the unfolded state.

[0049] Specifically, the design of the sliding component 3 provides a smooth sliding connection, which reduces the friction during expansion and contraction, making operation easier. The user only needs to apply a small amount of force to complete the state transition of the basket, making the basket more intuitive and easy to use when expanding and contracting. Parents can operate it quickly and easily, effectively reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0050] Furthermore, the implementation of the sliding assembly 3 simplifies the overall design of the basket, making it more feasible in terms of technical implementation. Compared with complex mechanical devices, the sliding connection design reduces potential failure points and improves the reliability of the overall structure.

[0051] Specifically, during operation of the sliding assembly 3 , the locking assembly 4 will lock the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 after the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 reach the expanded position 21 or the collapsed position 22 to ensure the stability of the basket when expanded or collapsed.

[0052] This locking can be mechanical (such as a latch, a buckle) or other form of locking mechanism to ensure that the bassinet does not move accidentally when in use or stored.

[0053] Preferably, in some other embodiments, the linkage component may also adopt the following components to achieve relative movement between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 .

[0054] For example, a rotating assembly allows the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 to rotate or fold by installing a rotating shaft at the contact point of the two shells. Unlike a sliding assembly, the function of the rotating shaft is to allow the shells to change angles at a fixed axis point. The rotating shaft has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and intuitive operation, making it easy for users to understand and use.

[0055] Guide rail and roller structure: a guide rail is set between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, and a roller or slider is installed on the guide rail. The shells achieve smooth relative movement through the guidance of the guide rail, and the roller / slider runs along the guide rail, reducing friction and providing smoother movement.

[0056] The folding connecting rod structure connects the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 through multiple connecting rods (such as a crank-connecting rod mechanism). When one of the shells moves, the connecting rod structure guides the other shell to move accordingly. The appropriate design can be selected according to actual needs.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the sliding assembly 3 of this embodiment includes a first sliding block 31 and a first sliding track 32 corresponding to the first sliding block 31 , and the first sliding block 31 is slidably connected to the first sliding track 32 .

[0058] When the user operates the basket, the first slider 31 slides in the first sliding track 32, driving the relative movement between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2. When the basket needs to be folded, the user applies a thrust, and the first slider 31 moves along the first sliding track 32. The first shell 1 gradually moves closer to the second shell 2, and the basket is finally folded. Conversely, when the basket is unfolded, the first slider 31 slides in the opposite direction to drive the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 to a fully unfolded state.

[0059] Specifically, the matching design of the first slider 31 and the first sliding track 32 can avoid the jamming phenomenon between the shells, making the movement between the two very smooth, ensuring smooth operation during the expansion and contraction process.

[0060] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, two oppositely arranged sliding protrusions 23 are provided on the outer side wall of the second shell 2 of this embodiment, and the first sliding track 32 is formed by the side walls of the two sliding protrusions 23 and the outer side wall of the second shell 2 located between the two sliding protrusions 23; the first slider 31 is provided on the first shell 1.

[0061] Specifically, the sliding protrusion 23 is arranged on the outer wall of the second shell 2, and the two sliding protrusions are arranged opposite to each other to form the boundaries on both sides of the first sliding track 32. The back of the first sliding track 32 is composed of the outer wall of the second shell 2. The entire first sliding track 32 is formed by the two sliding protrusions 23 and the outer wall of the second shell 2 located between the two sliding protrusions 23, ensuring that the first slider 31 can slide stably in the first sliding track 32. This design effectively limits the movement direction of the first slider 31, ensuring that it can only move along the first sliding track 32, thereby ensuring the linearity and smoothness of the movement.

[0062] Furthermore, the first sliding track 32 is surrounded by the outer wall of the second shell 2 and the sliding protrusion 23. This structure can not only effectively guide the movement of the first slider 31, but also provide a certain degree of protection. The design of the sliding protrusion 23 can also limit the movement direction of the first slider 31, preventing the first slider 31 from lateral shaking in the first sliding track 32, further improving the smoothness and accuracy of the movement.

[0063] Furthermore, by utilizing the sliding protrusion 23 and the outer side wall of the second shell to form the first sliding track 32, it is possible to choose to eliminate the need for additional guide rails or complex sliding mechanisms installed on the basket, thereby simplifying the design of the entire basket, simplifying the manufacturing and assembly process of the basket, reducing production costs, and improving production efficiency.

[0064] Specifically, the first slider 31 is arranged at the bottom or side wall of the first shell 1 and cooperates with the first sliding track 32 of the second shell 2. The size and shape of the slider 31 match the first sliding track 32 to ensure that it can be firmly embedded in the first sliding track 32 and slide freely in the first sliding track 32.

[0065] When the basket is in the folded or unfolded state, the user pushes or pulls the first shell 1 or the second shell 2 to make the first slider 31 slide relative to each other in the first sliding track 32, thereby achieving relative movement between the two shells. The sliding path of the first slider 31 is limited by the first sliding track 32, thereby ensuring the relative movement trajectory between the two shells.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 11As shown, the number of the first sliding rails 32 of this embodiment is two, and the two first sliding rails 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second shell 2, that is, a first sliding rail 32 is provided on each side of the second shell 2. Preferably, each first sliding rail 32 in this embodiment is formed by the side walls of the two sliding protrusions 23 and the outer side wall of the second shell between them, and the two first sliders 31 are respectively embedded in the corresponding first sliding rails 32. In this way, the sliding of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 can be guided by the two first sliding rails 32 at the same time. The double-track design makes the shells more evenly stressed during movement, better maintains the parallel movement of the two, reduces the possibility of shaking left and right, improves the stability of the overall structure, and avoids the tilting or shaking of the shell caused by a single first sliding rail 32.

[0067] Specifically, when the user drives the first shell 1 or the second shell 2, the two first sliders 31 slide in the corresponding first sliding rails 32 respectively, ensuring that the relative sliding between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 is more balanced and smooth. Due to the design of the two first sliding rails 32, the first slider 31 will not cause the shell to tilt or get stuck due to friction or uneven force on one side, and the overall sliding process is smoother.

[0068] Preferably, in this embodiment, there is a certain gap between the two sides of the first slider 31 and the side walls of the first shell 1, forming a third sliding rail 15, and the third sliding rail 15 is arranged corresponding to the sliding protrusion 23, and the sliding protrusion 23 is slidably connected to the corresponding third sliding rail 15, thereby providing additional support and guidance for the first shell 1 and the second shell 2.

[0069] Specifically, the first sliding track 32 and the third sliding track 15 guide the first sliding block 31 and the sliding protrusion 23 respectively and cooperate with each other, which makes the force applied to the shell more uniform during the sliding process and further enhances the stability of the overall structure.

[0070] Through the setting of the multi-track system, the sliding components of the basket can achieve higher stability and load-bearing capacity, reducing the shaking, tilting and jamming problems that may occur in the single-track sliding system.

[0071] Through the dual sliding design of the first sliding track 32 and the third sliding track 15, the sliding assembly of the shell becomes more stable and precise. The sliding protrusion 23 and the first slider 31 move in the corresponding track to avoid instability in the lateral or vertical direction during the sliding process as much as possible. This multiple track design can effectively prevent the shell from shaking or deviating from the track during the sliding process, especially when carrying a large load, and can ensure the smoothness of the sliding.

[0072] Furthermore, the introduction of the multi-track design makes the movement of the first slider 31 and the sliding protrusion 23 more coordinated, reducing the friction resistance and jamming that may be encountered in a single-track system. The user will feel that the sliding process is smoother and the operation is easier.

[0073] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the sliding assembly 3 of this embodiment includes a second sliding block 33 and a second sliding track 34 corresponding to the second sliding block 33 , and the second sliding block 33 is slidably connected in the second sliding track 34 .

[0074] Specifically, the first slider and the first sliding track in this embodiment work together with the second slider and the second sliding track to provide sliding support and guidance for the two shells at different positions. The cooperation of multiple sliding components makes the sliding between the two shells more stable, avoiding problems such as shaking and sticking of the shells due to offset or uneven force of a single sliding component.

[0075] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sliding process of the second slider 33 in the second sliding track 34 is synchronized with the sliding of the first slider 31 in the first sliding track 32, thereby ensuring the coordination and balance of the entire structure.

[0076] Furthermore, by introducing the second sliding block 33 and the second sliding track 34, the sliding system adds an additional guide support point, which can better balance the stress of the entire system and make the sliding more stable.

[0077] The multi-slider and multi-track design allows each slider to be evenly stressed in the corresponding track, sharing the friction during the sliding process. This not only improves the smoothness of sliding, but also reduces the wear between the slider and the track. By guiding the second slider 33 through the second sliding track 34, the resistance during the sliding process is reduced, and the operation of the entire system becomes easier, which is suitable for scenarios with frequent operations.

[0078] Due to the presence of the second sliding component, the friction in the sliding system is shared, so that the friction between the contact surface of each slider and the track is smaller, and the force on the slider and the sliding track is more even, which can further reduce the friction during the sliding process between the two shells and improve the durability of the sliding system.

[0079] Specifically, the second sliding rail 34 of this embodiment can be a sliding groove provided on the first shell 1, and the second slider 33 is installed on the outer wall of the second shell 2, and is embedded in the second sliding rail 34, and is slidably connected to the second sliding rail 34. Such a design can simplify the design of the second sliding rail 34 on the first shell 1, reduce the production difficulty of the first shell 1, improve production efficiency, and make the structure of the first shell 1 more compact, effectively reducing the volume of the basket.

[0080] In other embodiments, the first shell 1 is provided with a sliding groove, and the second sliding rail 34 is a single component and is embedded in the sliding groove. The sliding groove serves to stabilize the assembly of the second sliding rail 34. A suitable design can be selected according to actual needs.

[0081] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the number of the second sliders 33 in this embodiment is two, and the two second sliders 33 are arranged on both sides of the second shell 2 to form a symmetrical structural layout. Such a design can better balance the force conditions during the entire sliding process, thereby improving the stability of the sliding system. When the second slider 33 slides in the second sliding track 34, the configuration of the double sliders can share the load during the sliding process, ensuring that the sliding process is more uniform and smooth.

[0082] Moreover, the basket structure of this embodiment is supported by multiple sliding parts including the first slider 31, the first sliding rail 32, the second slider 33, the second sliding rail 34, the sliding protrusion 23 and the third sliding rail 15, so that the sliding between the two shells is smoother and the sliding smoothness is improved.

[0083] Preferably, in other embodiments, the sliding assembly 3 only includes the first sliding block 31 and the first sliding track 32, or only includes the second sliding block 33 and the second sliding track 34. A suitable design can be selected according to actual needs.

[0084] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the first shell 1 of this embodiment is provided with a receiving hole 12 for allowing the second shell 2 and the first shell 1 to move closer to each other. The receiving hole 12 runs through the upper and lower sides of the first shell 1, and the second shell 2 is movably connected to the receiving hole 12 through a linkage component.

[0085] Specifically, the receiving hole 12 in this embodiment is a hole that passes through the upper and lower sides of the first shell 1, which can provide space for receiving and sliding the second shell 2, ensuring that the second shell 2 can slide smoothly therein and be closed in the first shell 1.

[0086] Furthermore, the design of the storage hole 12 allows the second shell 2 to be tightly folded on the first shell 1, and can allow the second shell 2 to be close and folded inside the first shell 1. This design reduces the overall volume of the basket structure by about 50%, effectively improving space utilization and making it convenient to store in a car, home or storage cabinet. Users no longer need to worry about storing a larger basket, especially when space is limited. This design is extremely practical, and the reduced size of the basket can also make it easier for users to carry.

[0087] When needed, the user can easily operate, slide the second shell 2 out of the storage hole 12 and unfold it to the working state. The linkage component can ensure the smoothness of the unfolding process, so that the basket can quickly transition from the folded state to the fully unfolded state without the need for complicated steps, reducing the difficulty of operation. Moreover, the unfolded basket can restore its original functionality, and its structure remains stable, and its strength or durability will not be affected by multiple folding.

[0088] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the basket structure of this embodiment also includes a limiting component 5 that can limit the second shell 2 to the storage hole 12. Preferably, the limiting component 5 of this embodiment includes a limiting groove 51 and a limiting slider 52. The limiting groove 51 is arranged along the thickness direction of the basket, and the limiting slider 52 extends into the limiting groove 51. It can reciprocate along the length direction of the limiting groove 51. With such a design, the second shell 2 can be prevented from escaping from the storage hole 12, so that the second shell 2 can be maintained in a state of being assembled at the storage hole 12.

[0089] Specifically, the cooperation between the limiting slider 52 and the limiting groove 51 can effectively prevent the second shell from escaping from the storage hole 12 under the action of external force. Through this limiting mechanism, the user can operate it with confidence when using the basket without worrying that the second shell 2 will detach from the storage hole due to careless operation, causing the second shell 2 and the first shell 1 to separate, thereby improving the user experience.

[0090] Specifically, the design of the limit assembly ensures that the second shell 2 remains connected to the storage hole 12 under any circumstances, that is, ensures that the second shell 2 remains connected to the first shell 1, thereby improving the overall safety of the basket. For example, in the process of carrying the basket, the user accidentally touches the locking assembly 4 to unlock it, and when relative movement occurs between the second shell 2 and the first shell 1, the limit groove 51 can limit the limit slider 52, so that the movement range between the second shell 2 and the first shell 1 is limited. The limit assembly will limit the second shell 2. When the limit slider 52 moves to the upper or lower end of the limit groove 51, the limit slider 52 will resist the top or bottom of the limit groove 51, so that the second shell 2 can no longer move up or down in the storage hole 12, thereby preventing the second shell 2 from falling out from above or below the storage hole 12, which can effectively protect the structural integrity of the basket.

[0091] Furthermore, through the limit assembly 5, when operating the basket, the user does not need to take additional steps to confirm whether the second shell 2 is confined within the storage hole 12. The limit assembly 5 provides a "worry-free" usage experience, and the user can focus more on the actual use of the basket.

[0092] like Figures 1 to 11As shown, the limiting groove 51 of this embodiment is provided on the outer wall of the second shell 2 , the top end of the limiting groove 51 is provided at the same height as the unfolded position 21 , and the bottom end of the limiting groove 51 is provided at the same height as the folded position 22 .

[0093] With this design, when the basket structure is fully expanded, the limit slider 52 will also reach the top of the limit groove 51, ensuring that the second shell does not exceed the expanded state. This design ensures the stability of the basket when fully expanded and effectively prevents damage or malfunction caused by excessive expansion between the two shells.

[0094] When the basket structure is fully folded, the limiting slider 52 reaches the bottom end of the limiting groove 51, ensuring that the second shell will not accidentally slide out or unfold. This design can accurately control the folding state of the second shell, ensuring that the volume of the basket is minimized after folding, making it convenient to carry and store.

[0095] Furthermore, by making the top of the limiting groove 51 equal to the expanded position 21 and the bottom thereof equal to the folded position 22, when the limiting slider 52 is at the top or bottom position of the limiting groove 51, that is, the first shell 1 moves relatively to the expanded position 21 or the folded position 22 of the second shell 2, the locking component 4 can be directly controlled to lock the two shells, ensuring the precise positioning of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 during the expansion and folding process. The user can easily determine whether the basket is in a fully expanded or fully folded state, reducing unnecessary misoperation. Through the cooperation of the limiting slider 52 and the limiting groove 51, the user can expand and fold the basket more conveniently, and the two shells move relatively to the predetermined expanded or folded position and are locked at the corresponding position, reducing complex operating steps and improving the user experience.

[0096] Moreover, after the limiting slider 52 reaches the top or bottom of the limiting groove 51, the second shell can be firmly fixed in the expanded or folded position. This design makes the basket have extremely high structural stability in both the fully expanded and folded states, avoiding accidents caused by loose or unstable structure. This design ensures the durability of the basket in long-term use and maintains good performance even if it is frequently folded and expanded.

[0097] In other embodiments, the limiting slider 52 is provided on the second shell 2, and the limiting groove 51 is provided on the first shell 1. An appropriate design can be selected according to actual needs.

[0098] In other embodiments, the limiting assembly 5 includes a limiting top edge and a limiting bottom edge arranged between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2. Preferably, the limiting top edge and the limiting bottom edge can be flange structures respectively arranged at the top and bottom of the sliding assembly, which are used to limit the relative movement of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2. When the basket is in the process of expanding or folding, the top edge and the bottom edge provide a clear limiting effect to prevent excessive movement or misalignment between the shells.

[0099] In other embodiments, the limiting top edge and the limiting bottom edge can be respectively set on different shells, for example, the top edge is on the first shell 1 and the bottom edge is on the second shell 2. This design ensures that the sliding range between the two shells will not exceed the predetermined range during sliding.

[0100] In other embodiments, the limiting assembly can also be implemented by a peripheral structure on the shell. When the two shells slide to a certain position, the peripheral edges can cooperate with each other to form a stable limiting effect. The appropriate design can be selected according to actual needs.

[0101] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the locking assembly 4 of this embodiment includes a locking block 41 and a first locking hole 43 corresponding to the locking block 41, the first locking hole 43 is located in the expanded position 21, and the locking block 41 can enter the first locking hole 43 to lock the first shell 1 in the expanded position 21. When the locking block 41 disengages from the first locking hole 43, the second shell 2 is retracted toward the inner side of the first shell 1, and the first shell 1 can move relatively toward the retracted position 22, wherein the locking block 41 is movably connected to the first shell 1, and the first locking hole 43 is provided in the second shell 2, or the locking block 41 is movably connected to the second shell 2, and the first locking hole 43 is provided in the first shell 1.

[0102] Preferably, the locking assembly 4 of this embodiment includes a locking block 41 movably connected to the first shell 1, a locking protrusion 42 provided on the locking block 41, a first locking hole 43 provided on the second shell 2, and a second locking hole 44 provided on the second shell 2. The first locking hole 43 and the second locking hole 44 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom along the thickness direction of the second shell 2. The first locking hole 43 is located in the expanded position 21, and the second locking hole 44 is located in the retracted position 22. The locking block 41 can drive the locking protrusion 42 into the first locking hole 43 or the second locking hole 44, so that the first shell 1 is locked in the expanded position 21 or the retracted position 22.

[0103] Specifically, the locking block 41 in this embodiment is movably connected to the first shell 1. The user can control the locking state by operating the locking block 41. A locking protrusion 42 is provided on the locking block 41. The locking block 41 can drive the locking protrusion 42 to insert the locking protrusion 42 into the locking hole on the second shell 2 to lock the first shell 1 on the second shell 2, thereby achieving locking of the basket in the expanded or folded state.

[0104] Preferably, the locking block 41 in this embodiment can make the locking protrusion 42 enter or exit the locking hole through simple manual operation, thereby realizing convenient locking and unlocking functions.

[0105] Specifically, the first locking hole 43 in this embodiment is located at the expanded position 21 of the second shell 2. When the second shell 2 is fully expanded, the locking protrusion 42 on the locking block 41 can enter the first locking hole 43, thereby locking the basket in the expanded state to prevent it from being accidentally folded during use.

[0106] In this embodiment, the second locking hole 44 is located at the folded position 22. When the carrier is fully folded, the locking protrusion 42 can enter the second locking hole 44, firmly locking the carrier in the folded state, ensuring that the carrier will not accidentally unfold when not in use.

[0107] When the user manipulates the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 to move away from each other and the locking protrusion 42 is aligned with the first locking hole 43, the locking protrusion 42 is guided into the first locking hole 43 by the operation of the locking block 41. At this time, the basket is in the unfolded state and is locked, and the user can use it with confidence.

[0108] When the user manipulates the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 to move closer to each other and the locking protrusion 42 is aligned with the second locking hole 44, the locking protrusion 42 is guided into the second locking hole 44 by the operation of the locking block 41, and the basket is locked in the folded state, ensuring that it will not be accidentally unfolded during storage or carrying.

[0109] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the limiting slider 52 moves to the top of the limiting groove 51 and abuts against the top of the limiting groove 51, the first housing 1 moves to the deployed position 21 of the second housing 2. At this time, the locking protrusion 42 is aligned with the first locking hole 43, and the locking protrusion 42 is guided into the first locking hole 43 by the operation of the locking block 41.

[0110] When the limiting slider 52 moves to the bottom end of the limiting groove 51 and abuts against the bottom end of the limiting groove 51, the first shell 1 moves to the folded position 22 of the second shell 2. At this time, the locking protrusion 42 is aligned with the second locking hole 44. The locking protrusion 42 is guided into the second locking hole 44 through the operation of the locking block 41. With such a design, the user does not need to pay too much attention to the movement of the two shells. When the two shells move away from each other or approach each other to the extreme position and cannot move further, the user is reminded that the two shells have reached the specified position. The user only needs to drive the locking component 4 to lock the two shells, so that the basket is limited to the desired state, which can further simplify the user's operating steps and improve the user experience.

[0111] Specifically, the design of the locking assembly 4 allows the user to easily lock or unlock the two shells by simply operating the locking block 41. This design simplifies the user's operating steps and reduces complexity, and is particularly practical in usage scenarios where the basket needs to be frequently unfolded and folded.

[0112] In addition, this design provides independent locking holes at the expanded and folded positions to ensure that the basket can be securely locked in both states. This design increases the safety and reliability of the basket, allowing users to feel more at ease when operating it and avoiding the risk of accidental expansion or folding of the basket.

[0113] In other embodiments, the basket is only provided with an independent locking hole in the expanded position to ensure the stability of the basket in the expanded state, and no locking hole is provided in the folded position. An appropriate design can be selected according to actual needs.

[0114] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two locking blocks 41, which are relatively arranged on both sides of the first shell 1. Each locking block 41 is correspondingly provided with a locking protrusion 42. There are two first locking holes 43, which are relatively arranged on both sides of the second shell 2. The second shell 2 is provided with a second locking hole 44 on one side of the first locking hole 43. The side walls of the second shell 2 with the first locking hole 43 and the second locking hole 44 correspond to the side walls of the first shell 1 with the locking blocks 41.

[0115] Specifically, there are two locking blocks 41, one on each side of the first housing 1. Each locking block 41 is provided with a corresponding locking protrusion 42, and each locking protrusion 42 can be inserted into the first locking hole 43 on the corresponding side of the second housing 1. By inserting the locking protrusions 42 on both sides into the corresponding first locking holes 43, the first housing 1 is locked to the expanded position 21 of the second housing 2.

[0116] In addition, the locking protrusion 42 on each side can also be inserted into the second locking hole 44 on the corresponding side of the second shell 1. The locking protrusions 42 on both sides are inserted into the corresponding second locking holes 44, so that the first shell 1 is locked in the folded position 22 of the second shell 2. The locking block 41, locking protrusion 42, first locking hole 43, and second locking hole 44 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence to cooperate with the basket structure to be in the expanded or folded state. With such a design, when operating the basket, the user can lock or unlock the basket by operating the locking blocks 41 on both sides simultaneously or separately to cooperate with the basket to be in the expanded or folded state. This double-sided design increases the stability of the locking system and avoids the tilting or imbalance that may occur when locking on one side.

[0117] The design of two locking blocks 41 means that the two locking points act on both sides of the basket, thereby forming a more uniform force distribution, which helps to improve the firmness of the entire structure.

[0118] Furthermore, since the locking blocks and the locking holes are symmetrically arranged, the basket can achieve uniform distribution of force when locked. Regardless of whether the basket is in the expanded or folded state, the structure can maintain balance to prevent one side from loosening or falling off. When the user operates the basket, it is necessary to press or release the locking blocks 41 on both sides at the same time. The locking process is simple and efficient. This design also increases the safety of operation and prevents the basket from being improperly expanded or folded due to misoperation when it is not completely locked.

[0119] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the locking block 41 of this embodiment is provided with a pulling groove 411 for the user to pull, and the opening of the pulling groove 411 faces downward.

[0120] With this design, the user can unlock the carrycot even when holding it up in the folded state. When the locking block 41 is unlocked by pulling the groove 411, the second shell 2 moves downward at the receiving hole 12 under the action of its own weight until the limiting slider 52 moves to the top of the limiting groove 51. The second shell 2 no longer moves downward. At this time, the locking protrusion 42 is aligned with the first locking hole 43, and the locking block 41 drives the locking protrusion 42 into the first locking hole 43. At this time, the carrycot is converted to the expanded state.

[0121] When it is necessary to convert the basket structure in the expanded state to the folded state, it is only necessary to unlock the locking block 41 by pulling the groove 411, and the basket can be placed on the platform. By applying a downward force to the first shell 1, or under the action of the first shell 1's own weight, the first shell 1 is moved downward on the second shell 2 until the limiting slider 52 moves to the bottom end of the limiting groove 51, and the first shell 1 no longer moves downward. At this time, the locking protrusion 42 is aligned with the second locking hole 44, and the locking block 41 can drive the locking protrusion 42 to enter the second locking hole 44, and the basket is now converted to the folded state; the entire operation process is simple and convenient, with the advantages of simple structure and easy operation.

[0122] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, when the first shell 1 in this embodiment is locked in the unfolded position 21 of the second shell 2, the first shell 1 forms the side wall of the basket, the second shell 2 forms a receiving groove 24 with a baby support surface, and the first shell 1 extends upward from the second shell 2 to prevent the baby from accidentally sliding out or falling when using the basket.

[0123] Preferably, the accommodating groove 24 of this embodiment is a specially designed area provided on the second shell 2, which is intended to provide sufficient space for the baby, and the curvature of the inner surface of the first shell 1 is similar to or equal to the curvature of the connection between the surface of the accommodating groove 24. In the unfolded state, the curvature of the inner surface of the first shell 1 and the surface of the accommodating groove 24 on the second shell 2 form a complete and smooth surface, constituting a baby accommodating area. The unevenness of the joint between the inner surface of the first shell 1 and the accommodating groove 24 will not cause discomfort or injury to the baby. Both infants and older children can get a good user experience.

[0124] By combining the receiving groove 24 with the inner surface of the first shell 1, the carrycot can provide a safe riding environment for infants in the unfolded state. Whether at home or outdoors, infants can be well protected in this design, reducing the risk of accidental injury.

[0125] The above are multiple implementation methods provided in conjunction with specific content, and the specific implementation of this application is not limited to these descriptions. Any similarity or similarity with the methods, structures, etc. of this application, or any technical deduction or replacement based on the concept of this application, shall be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
