DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper" and "lower" and the like indicate positions or location relationships based on the positions or location relationships during normal use of the product.

[0025] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0026] In the first aspect, the embodiment of the present utility model provides an ISOFIX connection mechanism with a lighting function, referring to Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes an ISOFIX connection component 1 suitable for active connection with a child safety seat and a light-emitting unit 2 installed on the ISOFIX connection component 1. The ISOFIX connection component 1 includes a telescopic connection rod 11 and a telescopic button 12. The telescopic connection rod 11 is slidably installed on the child safety seat, and the telescopic button 12 is installed on the telescopic connection rod 11 for adjusting the telescopic length of the telescopic connection rod 11 on the child safety seat. The light-emitting unit 2 is installed on the telescopic button 12, and the light-emitting unit 2 is used to illuminate the rear of the child safety seat. When the user touches the telescopic button 12 to drive the telescopic connection rod 11 to extend, the light-emitting unit 2 can be immediately lit, thereby making it more convenient to insert the telescopic connection rod 11 into the ISOFIX connection port on the car seat. When the telescopic connection rod 11 is extended to the desired length, the light-emitting unit 2 can be directly touched again to turn off the light-emitting unit 2.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 One end of the telescopic connecting rod 11 is provided with a locking plate 111. Once the telescopic connecting rod 11 is inserted into the ISOFIX connection port on the car seat, the locking plate 111 secures the telescopic connecting rod 11 to the car seat. Assuming that the end of the telescopic connecting rod 11 with the locking plate 111 is the rear of the telescopic connecting rod 11, the end of the telescopic connecting rod 11 away from the locking plate 111 is the front. The telescopic button 12 is provided on the side wall of the telescopic connecting rod 11. In this embodiment, the telescopic button 12 is preferably located near the front of the side wall of the telescopic connecting rod 11 and is fixed to the telescopic connecting rod 11 by bolts.

[0028] The telescopic button 12 will slide synchronously with the telescopic connecting rod 11, and correspondingly, the light-emitting unit 2 will also slide synchronously with the telescopic connecting rod 11, so that the illumination distance of the light-emitting unit 2 can be changed with the extended length of the telescopic connecting rod 11, thereby improving the illumination effect of the light-emitting unit 2 when the telescopic connecting rod 11 is connected to the car seat.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The telescopic button 12 has an integrated chamber 121 inside for mounting the light-emitting unit 2. The integrated chamber 121 can be located near the front of the telescopic connecting rod 11, near the rear of the telescopic connecting rod 11, or in the middle of the telescopic button 12. In this embodiment, the integrated chamber 121 is preferably located near the rear of the telescopic connecting rod 11 within the telescopic button 12. This allows the light-emitting unit 2 to be closer to the rear of the telescopic connecting rod 11, resulting in brighter illumination of the rear of the telescopic connecting rod 11 when the light-emitting unit 2 is turned on, allowing the rear of the telescopic connecting rod 11 to be accurately inserted into the ISOFIX connection port on the car seat.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The light-emitting unit 2 includes a touch switch 21, a light-emitting component 22 and a power supply 23. The touch switch 21 and the light-emitting component 22 are both located on the side of the power supply 23 near the rear of the telescopic connecting rod 11 in the integrated chamber 121. The touch switch 21 is adjacent to the power supply 23, and the light-emitting component 22 is located above the touch switch 21. The light-emitting component 22 is adjacent to the touch switch 21. The touch switch 21 and the light-emitting component 22 are both electrically connected to the power supply 23. When the telescopic button 12 is touched to drive the telescopic connecting rod 11 to move and extend, the touch switch 21 is touched and the light-emitting component 22 is lit. The illumination direction of the light-emitting component 22 is toward the rear of the child safety seat. In other embodiments, the light-emitting component 22 can also be located below the touch switch 21 or on the side close to the outer wall of the telescopic connecting rod 11. The specific position depends on the detailed structure of the telescopic button 12. In addition, in another embodiment, the light-emitting unit 2 can be composed of a door-type photoelectric switch, a light-emitting component 22 and a power supply 23. When the telescopic button 12 is touched, the finger can block the light of the door-type photoelectric switch, thereby lighting the light-emitting component 22.

[0031] The arrangement of the light-emitting unit 2 above makes the arrangement of the touch switch 21, the light-emitting element 22, and the power supply 23 more compact, and also makes the space of the integrated chamber 121 smaller, so that it does not occupy too much space inside the telescopic button 12, thereby making the telescopic button 12 more compact as a whole. In addition, the touch switch 21, the light-emitting element 22, and the power supply 23 are arranged on the same side of the telescopic button 12, so that the touch switch 21, the light-emitting element 22, and the power supply 23 form a module, which is more convenient for disassembly, maintenance, or replacement.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A protrusion 122 projects upward from one side of the cavity housing the telescopic button 12. The integrated cavity 121 extends into the interior of the protrusion 122, and the light-emitting element 22 is located within the integrated cavity 121 within the protrusion 122. This arrangement reduces the internal space occupied by the integrated cavity 121 within the telescopic button 12. The top edge of the protrusion 122, facing away from the telescopic connecting rod 11, is rounded. This, compared to a right-angled edge, is less likely to cut your hands; it also reduces the size of the protrusion 122, and consequently, the overall size of the telescopic button 12.

[0033] More specifically, the end of the touch switch 21, located near the rear of the telescopic connecting rod 11, passes through the telescopic button 12 and is exposed externally. This allows the user to simultaneously press the touch switch 21 by gripping the telescopic button 12 with two fingers and applying force. The end of the touch switch 21 protruding from the telescopic button 12 is located directly in front of the telescopic button 12 near the telescopic connecting rod 11. This arrangement makes it easier to reach the touch switch 21 when applying force to the telescopic button 12, compared to a situation where the protruding end of the touch switch 21 is located off-center from the telescopic button 12.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A light hole 123 is formed on the outer wall of the protrusion 122 near the rear of the telescopic connecting rod 11. The light hole 123 is connected to the integrated chamber 121. One end of the light-emitting element 22 is inserted into the light hole 123, but the light-emitting element 22 does not protrude from the light hole 123. The illumination light of the light-emitting element 22 can be concentrated through the light hole 123, and because the light-emitting element 22 does not protrude from the light hole 123, it is not easily damaged by bumps.

[0035] It is worth noting that there is a certain distance between the end of the touch switch 21 protruding from the telescopic button 12 and the light-transmitting hole 123 , so that the light-transmitting hole 123 is not blocked when the user presses the touch switch 21 .

[0036] In another embodiment, the touch switch 21 may not be located in the integrated chamber 121 , but may be located on a side of the telescopic button 12 close to the front of the telescopic connecting rod 11 .

[0037] The implementation principle of the ISOFIX connection mechanism with lighting function in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the user pinches the telescopic button 12 to drive the telescopic connecting rod 11 to extend, the user will touch the touch switch 21 and light up the light-emitting element 22. The light-emitting element 22 will illuminate the rear of the telescopic connecting rod 11, so that the telescopic connecting rod 11 can be accurately inserted into the ISOFIX connection port on the car seat. In addition, when the telescopic connecting rod 11 is extended and slid by driving the telescopic button 12, the light-emitting unit 2 will slide synchronously with the telescopic connecting rod 11, thereby bringing the light-emitting element 22 closer to the car seat backrest, thereby improving the lighting effect. When the telescopic connecting rod 11 is connected to the car seat, the user can touch the touch switch 21 again to extinguish the light-emitting element 22.

[0038] In the second aspect, the present invention also provides a child seat, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The child seat includes the aforementioned ISOFIX connection mechanism with lighting function and a seat body 3. Two sets of ISOFIX connection components 1 are provided, one on each side of the seat body 3, and both sets are slidably mounted on the seat body 3. Correspondingly, two light-emitting units 2 are also provided, one mounted on each set of ISOFIX connection components 1. The following uses the cooperative relationship between one set of ISOFIX connection components 1, one light-emitting unit 2, and the seat body 3 as an example.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The seat body 3 includes a base 31 and a body 32. The body 32 is mounted on the top of the base 31. A sliding groove is provided on the rear side of the base 31. The front of the telescopic connecting rod 11 is inserted into the sliding groove and slides in the sliding groove. A groove 33 is provided on the side wall of the base 31. The telescopic button 12 and the light-emitting unit 2 can both slide in the groove 33. Since the telescopic button 12 can slide synchronously with the telescopic connecting rod 11, the extension direction of the groove 33 is consistent with the extension direction of the sliding groove. Since the telescopic button 12 and the telescopic connecting rod 11 are connected by bolts, a movable groove for the bolt to slide is provided at the bottom of the groove 33. The light-emitting unit 2 is closer to the side wall of the telescopic connecting rod 11 through the groove 33, so that the light-emitting unit 2 can provide a more precise lighting effect for the ISOFIX connection port on the car seat.

[0040] The provision of the groove 33 allows for a higher tolerance for errors during installation of the telescopic button 12 , and reduces the precision requirement for installing the telescopic button 12 , thereby improving production efficiency.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4The side of the groove 33 near the rear of the base 31 penetrates the base 31, allowing most of the light from the light-emitting element 22 to directly illuminate the rear of the telescopic connecting rod 11, further improving the lighting effect of the light-emitting element 22 on the ISOFIX connection port on the car seat. In another embodiment, the side of the groove 33 near the rear of the base 31 does not penetrate the seat body 3, but instead defines a light hole through which the light from the light-emitting element 22 can pass.

[0042] In another embodiment, the seat body 3 only includes a seat body 32 , and the ISOFIX connection mechanism with lighting function is installed on the seat body 32 , and corresponding grooves 33 are formed on the side walls of the seat body 32 .

[0043] Although the present disclosure is disclosed as above, the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure, and these changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
