Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of child strollers, in particular to a stroller frame and a child stroller. Background Art

[0002] Children are often taken outdoors in strollers, providing convenient travel for their children. With technological advancements, there are increasing demands for greater stability and ease of use in strollers. A stroller typically consists of a stroller frame and a seat assembly, which is mounted on the frame. To facilitate storage and portability, the stroller frame is typically foldable, resulting in numerous joints that need to be locked when the frame is unfolded.

[0003] Most existing joints incorporate joint teeth, with toothed rings installed within the joint seats. Locking occurs when the joint teeth engage the toothed rings of both joint seats. To ensure smooth unlocking of the joint, a certain clearance is required between the teeth on the joint teeth and the toothed rings on the toothed rings to allow the teeth to smoothly exit the toothed rings. This results in some play in the joints, which can lead to poor stability when the stroller frame has many joints.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a stroller frame and a child stroller to solve the above problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0075] Example 1

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a child stroller, comprising a seat assembly and a stroller frame 100, wherein the seat assembly is mounted on the stroller frame 100. When in use, an infant sits or lies in the seat assembly, and an adult taking care of the infant supports the stroller frame 100 to carry the infant out in the child stroller.

[0077] In this embodiment, the cart frame 100 includes two side supports 20 arranged opposite to each other and a cross brace 30 supported between the two side supports 20. The cross brace 30 connects the two side supports 20 into one body, thereby improving the overall stability and strength of the cart frame 100.

[0078] Among them, the cart frame 100 also includes a joint 10, and the side bracket 20 includes a front wheel bracket 21 and a rear wheel bracket 22. The joint 10 connects the front wheel bracket 21, the rear wheel bracket 22 and the cross brace 30, so that the front wheel bracket 21, the rear wheel bracket 22 and the cross brace 30 can rotate relative to each other in pairs, or be fixed relative to each other in pairs, so that the side bracket 20 can be folded or unfolded as needed.

[0079] Specifically, the joint 10 includes a first joint seat 11, a second joint seat 12, and a third joint seat 13 that are sequentially connected and rotatably connected along a first direction. The first joint seat 11 is disposed on the cross brace 30, the second joint seat 12 is disposed at the top of the rear wheel bracket 22, and the third joint seat 13 is disposed at the top of the front wheel bracket 21. In some embodiments, the second joint seat 12 can be disposed at the top of the front wheel bracket 21, and correspondingly, the third joint seat 13 is disposed at the top of the rear wheel bracket 22.

[0080] To achieve locking of the joint 10, in some embodiments, a first joint cavity is defined between the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12. A second locking member 16 is disposed within the first joint cavity, slidingly disposed in a first direction. The second locking member 16 can lock or unlock the second joint seat 12 and the first joint seat 11. A second joint cavity is defined between the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13. A third locking member 15 is disposed within the second joint cavity, slidingly disposed in the first direction. The third locking member 15 can lock or unlock the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13.

[0081] To ensure smooth transition between the unlocked and locked states of the joint 10, a certain clearance must be left between the second locking member 16 and the first joint cavity. Similarly, a certain clearance must be left between the third locking member 15 and the second joint cavity to ensure smooth sliding of the second and third locking members 16 and 15 in the first direction. This results in some play in the joint 10, affecting the stability of the stroller frame 100.

[0082] To solve the above problems, Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, a first slot section 112 is provided on the first joint seat 11, and a second slot section 121 is provided on the second joint seat 12. The first slot section 112 and the second slot section 121 can be connected to form a first locking groove 101. The joint 10 also includes a first locking member 14, which is slidably engaged with the first joint seat 11 along a first direction. The first locking member 14 includes a first locking portion 142, which is slidably disposed in the first locking groove 101 along the first direction, so that the first locking portion 142 can simultaneously engage with the first slot section 112 and the second slot section 121. Along the first direction, the cross-sectional area of ​​at least part of the first locking portion 142 and / or the first locking groove 101 gradually decreases.

[0083] When the first locking portion 142 is simultaneously engaged with the first slot section 112 and the second slot section 121, since at least part of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first locking portion 142 and / or the first locking slot 101 gradually decreases, at least part of the engaging position of the first locking portion 142 and the first locking slot 101 is a zero-shake clearance fit, thereby eliminating the gap between the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 after locking, reducing the amount of shaking, and thus improving the stability of the cart frame 100.

[0084] In this embodiment, the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 cooperate to form a first locking groove 101. The first locking groove 101 extends along a first direction. When the first locking portion 142 slides along the first direction, it can switch between a state of cooperating with only one of the first groove section 112 and the second groove section 121 and a state of cooperating with both the first groove section 112 and the second groove section 121. When the first locking portion 142 cooperates with both the first groove section 112 and the second groove section 121, the first locking portion 142 restricts the second joint seat 12 from rotating relative to the first joint seat 11, so that the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 are in a locked state. The cooperation between the first locking member 14 and the second locking member 16 further improves the stability of the locked state.

[0085] In some embodiments, when the first locking member 14 moves along the first direction from the first joint seat 11 to the second joint seat 12 , the first locking portion 142 simultaneously cooperates with the first slot section 112 and the second slot section 121 to eliminate the gap between the joints 10 .

[0086] To ensure that the first locking portion 142 cooperates with the first locking groove 101, the cross-sectional area of ​​at least part of the first locking portion 142 and / or the first locking groove 101 gradually decreases along the direction from the first joint seat 11 to the second joint seat 12. With this arrangement, when the first locking portion 142 slides within the first locking groove 101 and gradually disengages from the second groove section 121, a gap is formed between the first locking portion 142 and the first locking groove 101, and the gap gradually increases, thereby ensuring that the first locking portion 142 can smoothly disengage from the second groove section 121.

[0087] like Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first locking groove 101 gradually decreases as it points from the first joint seat 11 to the second joint seat 12, and the shape of the first locking portion 142 matches the shape of the first locking groove 101. Both the first locking groove 101 and the first locking portion 142 are tapered, which improves the locking effect of the first locking portion 142 on the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12, thereby reducing the amount of shaking of the joint 10.

[0088] That is to say, along the direction from the first joint seat 11 to the second joint seat 12, the cross-sectional shape of the first locking portion 142 gradually decreases, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first slot segment 112 and the second slot segment 121 gradually decreases, and the minimum cross-sectional area of ​​the first slot segment 112 is equal to the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​the second slot segment 121, so that the cross-sectional area of ​​the first locking slot 101 changes continuously.

[0089] Specifically, the first locking portion 142 is shaped roughly like a prism, and correspondingly, the circumferential inner wall of the first locking groove 101 is shaped roughly like a prism, to ensure a gap-free fit between the first locking portion 142 and the first locking groove 101. It should be noted that the side surfaces of the first locking portion 142 can be either flat or curved.

[0090] In other embodiments, the shape of the first locking portion 142 may be a pyramid, a frustum, or a cone, so that the cross-sectional area of ​​the first locking portion 142 meets the requirement of a zero-gap fit.

[0091] In some embodiments, along the direction from the first joint seat 11 to the second joint seat 12, the first locking portion 142 may include a fixed section with a fixed cross-sectional area and a gradient section with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area. Correspondingly, the first locking groove 101 includes a fixed groove section that cooperates with the fixed section and a gradient groove section that cooperates with the gradient section to ensure a gap-free fit. Exemplarily, the fixed section may be a prism section and the gradient section may be a pyramid section.

[0092] In some embodiments, along the direction from the first joint seat 11 to the second joint seat 12, only the cross-sectional area of ​​at least part of the first locking portion 142 or at least part of the first locking groove 101 can be gradually reduced, which can also reduce or eliminate the fitting clearance, thereby reducing the amount of shaking of the joint 10.

[0093] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​one of the first locking portion 142 and the first slot section 112 gradually decreases along the direction from the first joint seat 11 to the second joint seat 12, so as to prevent the first locking member 14 and the first joint seat 11 from shaking relative to each other. For example, when the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 are in a locked state, the cross-sectional area of ​​the portion of the first locking portion 142 that cooperates with the first slot section 112 gradually decreases along the direction from the first joint seat 11 to the second joint seat 12, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the first slot section 112 may remain unchanged; or, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first slot section 112 gradually decreases along the direction from the first joint seat 11 to the second joint seat 12, and when the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 are in a locked state, the cross-sectional area of ​​the portion of the first locking portion 142 that cooperates with the first slot section 112 may remain unchanged.

[0094] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​one of the first locking portion 142 and the second slot segment 121 gradually decreases along the direction from the first joint seat 11 to the second joint seat 12, so as to prevent the first locking member 14 from shaking relative to the second joint seat 12. For example, when the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 are in a locked state, the cross-sectional area of ​​the portion of the first locking portion 142 that cooperates with the second slot segment 121 gradually decreases along the direction from the first joint seat 11 to the second joint seat 12, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the second slot segment 121 may remain unchanged; or, when the cross-sectional area of ​​the second slot segment 121 gradually decreases along the direction from the first joint seat 11 to the second joint seat 12, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first locking portion 142 that cooperates with the second slot segment 121 may remain unchanged when the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 are in a locked state.

[0095] In order to achieve unlocking and locking of the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13 through the third locking member 15, in some embodiments, a third slot section 122 is provided on the second joint seat 12, and a fourth slot section is provided on the third joint seat 13. The third slot section 122 and the fourth slot section can be connected to form a second locking slot 102. The third locking member 15 slides with the third joint seat 13 along the first direction. The third locking member 15 includes a third locking portion 151. The third locking portion 151 is slidably provided in the second locking slot 102 to lock or unlock the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13. When the third locking portion 151 simultaneously engages with the third slot section 122 and the fourth slot section, the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13 are locked; when the third locking portion 151 only engages with one of the third slot section 122 and the fourth slot section, the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13 are unlocked.

[0096] In some embodiments, the third locking portion 151 can slide in the first direction to disengage from the third slot section 122, thereby engaging only with the fourth slot section. In this case, the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13 are unlocked, and the two can rotate relative to each other. The third locking portion 151 can slide in the first direction to enter the third slot section 122, thereby engaging with both the fourth slot section and the third slot section 122. In this case, the third locking portion 151 restricts relative rotation between the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12, so that the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12 are in a locked state.

[0097] In some embodiments, the third locking member 15 can slide along the first direction to disengage from the fourth slot section, so that the third locking portion 151 can only cooperate with the third slot section 122, and the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12 can also be in an unlocked state.

[0098] In some embodiments, when the joint 10 switches from a locked state to an unlocked state, the first locking member 14 and the third locking member 15 move away from each other to disengage from the second joint seat 12, respectively. When the joint 10 switches from a locked state to an unlocked state, the first locking member 14 and the third locking member 15 move away from each other, causing the first locking portion 142 to disengage from the second slot section 121, and the third locking portion 151 to disengage from the third slot section 122. That is, when the joint 10 is in the unlocked state, the first locking portion 142 is located in the first joint seat 11, and the third locking portion 151 is located in the third joint seat 13, so that the size of the second joint seat 12 along the first direction can be relatively small. It only needs to be able to cooperate with the first locking portion 142 and the third locking portion 151, respectively, when the joint 10 is in the locked state, which is conducive to making the structure of the joint 10 more compact and reducing the size of the joint 10 along the first direction.

[0099] In some embodiments, the third locking member 15 is a joint tooth, and the third locking portion 151 is arranged on the circumferential outer wall of the joint tooth. There are multiple third locking portions 151, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference to improve the locking effect of the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13.

[0100] Combine Figure 2 As shown, the joint 10 also includes a third reduction member 18, one end of the third reduction member 18 is connected to or abuts the third locking member 15, and the other end is connected to or abuts the third joint seat 13. The third reduction member 18 is used to drive the third locking member 15 to slide toward the second joint seat 12 so that the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13 are in a locked state.

[0101] Optionally, the third reset member 18 may be a spring, and the spring may be a compression spring. The spring is always in a compressed state to drive the third locking member 15 to move toward the second joint seat 12 .

[0102] In some embodiments, the other end of the third reset member 18 can be connected to the second joint seat 12. In this case, the spring can be a tension spring, which is always in a tensioned state so as to drive the third locking member 15 to move toward the second joint seat 12.

[0103] In this embodiment, a fitting gap is formed between the third locking member 15 and the second locking groove 102 when the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13 are locked, so that the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13 have a certain amount of movement in the locked state.

[0104] In order to achieve unlocking and locking of the second joint seat 12 and the first joint seat 11 through the second locking member 16, in some embodiments, a first tooth groove 103 is provided on the inner wall of the first joint cavity. The first tooth groove 103 extends to the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 at both ends along the first direction. In other words, the first tooth groove 103 is formed by splicing the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12. The second locking member 16 includes a second locking portion 161, which slidably engages with the first tooth groove 103, so that the second locking portion 161 can switch between engaging with only one of the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12, and engaging with both the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 at the same time, thereby achieving locking and unlocking of the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12.

[0105] Because the first locking member 14 can achieve a seamless fit with the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12, thereby eliminating the shaking of the joint 10, in this embodiment, an assembly gap is formed between the second locking portion 161 and the first tooth groove 103. On the basis of ensuring that the second locking portion 161 slides smoothly within the first tooth groove 103, the processing accuracy requirements are reduced, which is conducive to reducing costs. It should be noted here that the assembly gap formed between the second locking portion 161 and the first tooth groove 103 means that there is a gap between the second locking portion 161 and the groove wall of the first tooth groove 103 along the circumference of the first joint cavity.

[0106] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional areas of the second locking portion 161 and the first tooth groove 103 can be fixed along the first direction, reducing the processing difficulty of the second locking member 16 and the first tooth groove 103 and facilitating the assembly of the second locking member 16 and the first joint cavity.

[0107] like Figure 2 As shown, the second locking member 16 can be a joint tooth, comprising a first gear body and a second locking portion 161. The second locking portion 161 is protruded from the circumferential outer wall of the first gear body. To enhance the locking effect of the second locking member 16 on the first and second joint seats 11 and 12, multiple second locking portions 161 are provided, and the multiple second locking portions 161 are spaced apart along the circumference of the first gear body.

[0108] In order to prevent the second locking member 16 from interfering with the movement of the first locking member 14, when the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 are in a locked state, the first locking groove 101 and the first tooth groove 103 are alternately arranged along the circumference of the first joint cavity, so that the first locking portion 142 and the second locking portion 161 are alternately staggered to avoid interference between the first locking portion 142 and the second locking portion 161.

[0109] Specifically, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a fifth slot section 113 is provided on the side of the first joint seat 11 facing the second joint seat 12, and a sixth slot section 124 is provided on the side of the second joint seat 12 facing the first joint seat 11. The fifth slot section 113 and the sixth slot section 124 are connected and enclose the first tooth groove 103. The fifth slot section 113 and the first slot section 112 are spaced apart along the circumference of the first joint seat 11, and the first locking portion 142 can pass through the gap between two adjacent second locking portions 161 to engage with the second slot section 121.

[0110] When the first groove section 112 in the first joint seat 11 and the second groove section 121 in the second joint seat 12 are not aligned, if the first locking piece 14 slides toward the second joint seat 12, the first locking piece 14 will be in rigid contact with the second joint seat 12, resulting in a large impact, which may easily cause the first locking part 142 to wear, thereby affecting the effect of eliminating the shaking gap of the joint 10.

[0111] To solve the above problems, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the joint 10 also includes a second reset member 19, which is connected to or abuts the second locking member 16 to apply an elastic force to the second locking member 16, and the elastic force is used to drive the second locking member 16 to move along the first direction to lock the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12, so that when the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 are rotated to align the first groove section 112 and the second groove section 121, the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 are automatically locked, so that the first locking portion 142 in the first locking member 14 can smoothly cooperate with the second groove section 121 when it is necessary to eliminate the joint gap.

[0112] Specifically, one end of the second reset member 19 is connected to or abuts the second locking member 16, and the other end is connected to or abuts the second joint seat 12. The elastic force of the second reset member 19 can push the second locking member 16 to slide toward the first joint seat 11, so that the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 are in a locked state.

[0113] Optionally, the second reset member 19 may be a spring, and the spring may be a compression spring, which is always in a compressed state to drive the second locking member 16 to move toward the second joint seat 12 .

[0114] In some embodiments, the other end of the second reset member 19 can be connected to the first joint seat 11. In this case, the spring can be a tension spring, which is always in a tensioned state so as to drive the second locking member 16 to move toward the second joint seat 12.

[0115] To facilitate the rotational connection of the first joint seat 11, the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13, a rotating shaft 111 is provided on the side of the first joint seat 11 facing the second joint seat 12. The rotating shaft 111 passes through the second locking piece 16 and the second joint seat 12 in sequence and is rotationally connected to the second joint seat 12. The end of the rotating shaft 111 is rotationally connected to the third joint seat 13.

[0116] In this embodiment, the third locking member 15 and the second locking member 16 have the same direction of movement from the unlocked position to the locked position, both of which are along the first direction from the second joint seat 12 to the first joint seat 11. In order to simplify the unlocking structure of the joint 10, the second locking member 16 also includes a linkage portion 162, which is slidably penetrated through the second joint seat 12, and the linkage portion 162 is connected to or can abut against the third locking member 15. When the joint 10 switches from a locked state to an unlocked state, the second locking member 16 moves along the first direction close to the second joint seat 12, and drives the third locking member 15 to slide away from the second joint seat 12 through the linkage portion 162. In other words, the linkage portion 162 realizes the linkage between the second locking member 16 and the third locking member 15 during the unlocking process, and there is no need to set up separate structures to drive the second locking member 16 and the third locking member 15 to move separately, which is conducive to reducing the number of parts and simplifying the structure.

[0117] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a communication hole 123 is provided on the second joint seat 12 , and the linkage portion 162 can pass through the communication hole 123 to abut or connect with the third locking member 15 .

[0118] Optionally, two linkage parts 162 are provided, and the two linkage parts 162 are symmetrically arranged relative to the rotation shaft 111, so that the force between the linkage part 162 and the third locking member 15 is more uniform.

[0119] Optionally, the cart frame 100 further includes a first unlocking assembly that can contact the second locking member 16 to push the second locking member 16 toward the second joint seat 12, thereby disengaging the second locking member 16 from the first joint seat 11, thereby unlocking the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12. During the process of disengaging the second locking member 16 from the first joint seat 11, the linkage portion 162 pushes the third locking member 15 away from the second joint seat 12, thereby unlocking the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13.

[0120] Optionally, the first unlocking assembly may include a first unlocking rod, which can slide along the first direction to push the second locking member 16 .

[0121] In order to enable the first locking member 14 to automatically move to a position that eliminates the gap between the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12, in this embodiment, the cart frame 100 also includes a seat supporting mechanism, which is movably arranged on the cross brace 30 so that the seat supporting mechanism can switch between the use position and the non-use position; when the seat supporting mechanism moves to the use position, the seat supporting mechanism engages with the first locking member 14 and pushes the first locking member 14 to move beyond the first locking groove 101, so as to simultaneously cooperate with the first groove section 112 and the second groove section 121 to eliminate the joint gap between the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12.

[0122] In some embodiments, the first locking member 14 also includes a first locking body 141, and the first locking portion 142 is fixedly arranged on the first locking body 141. When the seat support mechanism moves to the use position, it abuts against the first locking body 141 and pushes the first locking body 141 to move, so that the first locking portion 142 simultaneously cooperates with the first slot section 112 and the second slot section 121 to eliminate the gap of the joint 10.

[0123] The joint 10 further includes a first resetting member 17, which abuts or connects to the first locking member 14 to apply an elastic force to the first locking member 14. The elastic force is used to push the first locking member 14 to move along the first direction away from the second joint seat 12.

[0124] In other words, the locking force of the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 is an external force applied by the seat support mechanism, while the unlocking force is an elastic force, making the locking force more stable. It is understood that when the seat support mechanism is in the use position, the stroller frame 100 is in the unfolded state. At this time, the seat support mechanism drives the first locking member 14 to move and lock the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12, which helps to improve the stability of the stroller frame 100 and thus enhance the safety of the infant.

[0125] In order to facilitate the seat support mechanism to drive the first locking member 14 to move along the first direction, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 9As shown, the first locking body 141 is movably arranged on the side of the first joint seat 11 facing the seat support mechanism, that is, the first locking body 141 is arranged on the side of the first joint seat 11 facing away from the second joint seat 12, and the first locking portion 142 is arranged on the side of the first locking body 141 facing the first joint seat 11. The first locking portion 142 passes through the first joint seat 11 and extends into the first slot section 112. By arranging the first locking body 141 on the side of the first joint seat 11 facing away from the second joint seat 12, on the one hand, the distance between the first locking body 141 and the seat support mechanism on the cross brace 30 can be shortened to facilitate the cooperation between the two; on the other hand, the space between the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 can be reduced, making the cooperation between the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 more compact, thereby reducing the size of the joint 10 and preventing the joint 10 from being bloated and affecting flexibility.

[0126] In addition, the first locking portion 142 is disposed through the first joint seat 11 , and the first locking portion 142 only needs to move a small distance to engage with or disengage from the second slot section 121 in the second joint seat 12 , resulting in fast unlocking and locking responses.

[0127] Specifically, the direction of the external force provided by the seat supporting mechanism to the first locking member 14 is along the first direction from the first joint seat 11 to the second joint seat 12. Under the action of this external force, the first locking body 141 moves toward the direction close to the first joint seat 11, so that the first locking portion 142 can slide into the second groove section 121, and the first return member 17 is deformed to accumulate rebound force. Correspondingly, the direction of the elastic force provided by the first return member 17 is along the first direction from the second joint seat 12 to the first joint seat 11; after the external force applied by the seat supporting mechanism is withdrawn, the first return member 17 drives the first locking body 141 to return and move, so as to drive the first locking portion 142 to move in the direction away from the first locking groove 101, so that the first locking portion 142 can disengage from the second groove section 121 and only cooperate with the first groove section 112.

[0128] Optionally, the first restoring member 17 may be a spring located between the first joint seat 11 and the first locking body 141 . The spring is always in a compressed state to drive the first locking member 14 to move away from the second joint seat 12 .

[0129] In some embodiments, a positioning groove 1412 is provided on the first locking body 141 , and one end of the first restoring member 17 extends into the positioning groove 1412 to achieve positioning of the first restoring member 17 .

[0130] In some embodiments, the first locking body 141 is provided with a positioning hole 1411, which cooperates with the cross brace 30 to achieve positioning of the first locking member 14. Optionally, the cross brace 30 may be provided with a positioning post, which cooperates with the positioning hole 1411.

[0131] It can be understood that when the first locking member 14 is located in the first joint cavity, the other end of the first reduction member 17 abuts against or connects to the first joint seat 11 or the second joint seat 12 .

[0132] Optionally, there are multiple first locking portions 142 , which are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction around the first locking body 141 to improve the locking effect of the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 .

[0133] In this embodiment, the first locking body 141 may be a plate-like structure to reduce the space occupied by the first locking body 141 , making the fit between the first locking member 14 and the first joint seat 11 more compact, thereby reducing the size of the joint 10 .

[0134] In other embodiments, a first joint cavity is formed between the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12, and the first locking member 14 is arranged in the first joint cavity. The first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 can also be locked and unlocked by sliding the first locking member 14, and the amount of shaking of the joint in the locked state can be reduced.

[0135] Since the cross-sectional areas of the first locking portion 142 and the first locking groove 101 are variable, interference will occur when the first locking member 14 is directly assembled with the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 respectively. In order to facilitate the assembly of the first locking member 14 with the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 respectively, the first joint seat 11 includes a first joint outer ring and a first end cover that can be detachably connected. The first groove section 112 is arranged on the inner wall of the first joint outer ring, and the first end cover is arranged on the side of the first joint outer ring facing away from the second joint seat 12. During assembly, the first joint outer ring can be assembled with the second joint seat 12 first to form the first locking groove 101, and then the first locking member 14 can be installed into the first locking groove 101 along the direction from the first joint seat 11 to the second joint seat 12, and finally the first end cover can be fixed to the first joint outer ring to complete the assembly of the first joint seat 11, the second joint seat 12 and the first locking member 14.

[0136] Optionally, the first joint outer ring and the first end cover may be fixed by snap connection or screws to facilitate disassembly.

[0137] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 10As shown, the seat support mechanism includes a support 40 and a linkage mechanism. The support 40 is used to install the seat assembly, and the support 40 is rotatably set on the cross brace 30 to switch the orientation of the seat assembly. Specifically, the rotation axis of the support 40 extends roughly vertically, so that the support 40 can drive the seat assembly to rotate, so that the seat assembly can be set forward or backward, thereby adjusting the orientation of the infant on the seat assembly. When the seat support mechanism is in the working state, the support 40 rotates into position so that the seat assembly thereon is set forward or backward. The linkage mechanism is arranged between the support 40 and the first locking member 14, and the linkage mechanism can drive the first locking member 14 to slide after the support 40 is rotated into position, so that the first locking member 14 locks the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12.

[0138] In this embodiment, the state of the joint 10 is linked to the adjustment of the seat assembly. During the adjustment of the seat assembly, the first locking member 14 is in an unlocked state; when the seat assembly is adjusted to face forward or backward, the first locking member 14 can automatically lock the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 under the action of the linkage mechanism, eliminating the shaking between the joint 10 to improve the stability of the cart frame 100.

[0139] It should be noted that after the seat assembly is adjusted into position, the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12 are locked by the first locking member 14, with no play and good stability. When the seat assembly is being adjusted, the first locking member 14 is in a state of unlocking the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12, but the second locking member 16 can be in a state of locking or unlocking the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12.

[0140] Specifically, the linkage assembly includes a trigger assembly 61, which is arranged on the support 40 and can rotate with the support 40. When the support 40 is rotated into place, the trigger assembly 61 is arranged corresponding to the first locking member 14. The trigger assembly 61 can apply a pushing force to the first locking member 14, thereby locking the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12.

[0141] Optionally, the linkage mechanism also includes a pushing member 62, which is slidably arranged on the cross brace 30 along the first direction, one end of the pushing member 62 is connected or abuts against the first locking member 14, and the other end of the pushing member 62 can cooperate with the trigger assembly 61 to transmit the pushing force, so that the trigger assembly 61 pushes the first locking member 14 through the pushing member 62.

[0142] In this embodiment, the seat support mechanism further includes a push handle 70, which is movably disposed on the support 40 so as to have a folded state and an unfolded state. When the push handle 70 is in the unfolded state, the push handle 70 abuts against the linkage mechanism to trigger the linkage mechanism to move, thereby enabling the linkage mechanism to push the first locking member 14. When the push handle 70 is in the folded state, the push handle 70 is disengaged from the linkage mechanism, the linkage mechanism is reset, and the first locking member 14 is disengaged from the second joint seat 12. This arrangement automatically locks the joint 10 when the push handle 70 is in the unfolded state, thereby improving the stability of the stroller frame 100 and ensuring the safety of infants and young children. When the push handle 70 is in the folded state, the linkage mechanism is not triggered and can be reset to its initial position, thereby unlocking the joint 10 and facilitating adjustment of the posture of the stroller frame 100.

[0143] It should be noted that when the seat support mechanism is in the working state, the support 40 is rotated into place and the push handle 70 is in the expanded state. The expanded state of the push handle 70 is the state in which the stroller frame 100 is used when carrying infants and young children. Figure 13 As shown, when the push handle 70 is in the unfolded state, it is generally parallel to the front wheel bracket 21, and the cart frame 100 is in a stable unfolded state for use. The folded state of the push handle 70 refers to the push handle 70 being in any position other than the unfolded state, which can be the fully folded position of the cart frame 100 or any position during the folding process.

[0144] refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in the linkage mechanism, a pusher 62 is slidably mounted on the cross brace 30 along a first direction so that the sliding direction of the pusher 62 is parallel to the sliding direction of the first locking member 14, facilitating the pusher 62 to push the first locking member 14 to move. The trigger assembly 61 includes a slider 611 and a rotating member 612. The slider 611 is slidably mounted on the support 40 and is provided with a limiting groove. The middle portion of the rotating member 612 is rotatably connected to the support 40, with one end of the rotating member 612 extending into the limiting groove, and the other end of the rotating member 612 being used to abut against the pusher 62. When the slider 611 slides, the inner wall of the limiting groove disengages from the rotating member 612, pushing the rotating member 612 to rotate, allowing the other end of the rotating member 612 to abut or disengage from the pusher 62.

[0145] When the slider 611 moves in the positive direction, Figure 10 As shown, the rotating member 612 abuts against the pushing member 62, and as the rotating member 612 continues to rotate, the rotating member 612 will push the pushing member 62 close to the first locking member 14, thereby pushing the first locking member 14 close to the second joint seat 12, thereby locking the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12; when the slider 611 moves in the reverse direction, as shown Figure 11As shown, the slider 611 drives the rotating member 612 to rotate in the direction away from the first locking member 14. The pushing force of the rotating member 612 on the first locking member 14 is small. The first locking member 14 will move in the direction away from the second joint seat 12 under the action of the first reset member 17. The first locking member 14 is disengaged from the second joint seat 12, thereby realizing the unlocking of the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12.

[0146] In this embodiment, the slider 611 is positioned above the rotating member 612. The bottom end of the slider 611 is recessed to form a retaining groove, which facilitates the top end of the rotating member 612 to extend into the retaining groove. Forward movement of the slider 611 moves the slider 611 away from the first locking member 14 in the first direction, while reverse movement of the slider 611 moves the slider 611 toward the first locking member 14 in the first direction.

[0147] In this embodiment, the size of the slot opening along the first direction is larger than the size of the slot bottom along the first direction, so that the opening size of the slot is large, which facilitates the rotation member 612 to extend into the slot and provides avoidance space for the rotation of the rotation member 612.

[0148] Specifically, an avoidance slope is provided in the limiting groove, and the avoidance slope is set at an angle to the first direction. Along the direction in which the rotating member 612 is inserted into the limiting groove, the distance between the avoidance slope and the rotating member 612 gradually decreases along the first direction, thereby increasing the size of the slot.

[0149] Optionally, the rotating member 612 is located between the avoidance slope and the first locking member 14. When the slider 611 abuts against the rotating member 612 to push the first locking member 14 close to the second joint seat 12, the inner wall of the limiting groove that contacts the rotating member 612 is the opposite side of the avoidance slope, and the rotating member 612 does not contact the avoidance slope, thereby preventing the rotating member 612 from falling out of the limiting groove.

[0150] In order to improve the resetting effect of the trigger assembly 61, the trigger assembly 61 also includes a fourth elastic member 613, which elastically connects the slider 611 and the support 40. The fourth elastic member 613 is used to drive the slider 611 to slide in the opposite direction and reset, so as to reduce the abutment force applied by the rotating member 612 to the first locking member 14.

[0151] like Figure 12 As shown, the pushing member 62 includes a connecting portion 621 and a force-bearing portion 622 . The connecting portion 621 extends substantially along the first direction, and the force-bearing portion 622 extends substantially vertically so as to cooperate with and abut against the upper rotating member 612 .

[0152] In this embodiment, both side brackets 20 are connected to the cross brace 30 via joints 10. The two joints 10 are arranged approximately 180 degrees apart, and each joint 10 is provided with a corresponding linkage mechanism and a push handle 70. Therefore, every time the support 40 rotates 180 degrees, the rotating members 612 in the two linkage mechanisms can cooperate with the corresponding force-bearing portions 622 to push the first locking member 14 to move.

[0153] like Figure 13 As shown, the push handle 70 includes a blocking portion 71. When the push handle 70 is in the unfolded state, the blocking portion 71 pushes the slider 611 to slide, thereby driving the rotating member 612 to abut against the pushing member 62, thereby pushing the first locking member 14 to slide in the direction close to the second joint seat 12; when the push handle 70 is in the folded state, as shown Figure 14 As shown, the blocking portion 71 and the slider 611 are staggered, the first locking member 14 will be reset under the action of the first reset member 17, pushing the pushing member 62 and the rotating member 612 to reset, and the slider 611 will be reset under the action of the rotating member 612 and the fourth elastic member 613.

[0154] In some embodiments, the linkage mechanism may not be provided with the pushing member 62 , and the rotating member 612 may directly abut against the first locking member 14 to push the first locking member 14 to slide.

[0155] In some embodiments, when the support 40 is rotated into position, regardless of whether the push handle 70 is in the expanded state, the linkage mechanism can drive the first locking member 14 to slide to lock the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12. Exemplarily, the linkage mechanism includes a rotating member 612 and a fourth elastic member 613, and the fourth elastic member 613 is connected to or abuts the rotating member 612, and the fourth elastic member 613 is used to drive the rotating member 612 to rotate in the direction of pushing the first locking member 14. When the support 40 is rotated into position, the rotating member 612 pushes the first locking member 14 under the action of the fourth elastic member 613 to lock the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12. When the support 40 rotates relative to the cross brace 30, the rotating member 612 is staggered with the first locking member 14, and the first locking member 14 is reset under the action of the first reset member 17 to unlock the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12.

[0156] In this embodiment, Figure 14 As shown, when the stroller is in the folded state, the front wheel bracket 21 and the rear wheel bracket 22 in the side bracket 20 are close to each other, the cross brace 30 is rotated relative to the side bracket 20, so that the support 40 on the cross brace 30 is rotated to the front side, and the push handle 70 is rotated relative to the support 40 to move closer to the side bracket 20.

[0157] Combine Figure 1As shown, the cross brace 30 includes a cross brace body 31, an upper cover 32, a lower cover 33, and a cross brace shaft 34. The cross brace shaft 34 is disposed on the cross brace body 31. The upper cover 32 and the lower cover 33 are disposed on the upper and lower sides of the cross brace body 31, and are disposed outside the cross brace body 31 to protect the cross brace body 31. The cross brace shaft 34 extends outside the upper cover 32 to be rotatably connected to the support 40.

[0158] In some embodiments, the seat supporting mechanism further includes a seat plate 50 , which is disposed on the support 40 to place the seat assembly.

[0159] The process of switching the stroller from the folded state to the unfolded state is as follows:

[0160] Unfold the side bracket 20. Rotate the front wheel bracket 21 or the rear wheel bracket 22 so that the angle between the front wheel bracket 21 and the rear wheel bracket 22 gradually increases; during the opening process of the front wheel bracket 21 and the rear wheel bracket 22, the first joint seat 11 rotates relative to the second joint seat 12, and the first joint seat 11 drives the cross brace 30 to rotate, so that the support 40 on the cross brace 30 is located above the cross brace 30. When the first joint seat 11 rotates relative to the second joint seat 12, when the fifth groove section 113 in the first joint seat 11 and the sixth groove section 124 in the second joint seat 12 are aligned to form the first tooth groove 103, the second locking member 16 slides along the first direction toward the first joint seat 11 under the action of the second reset member 19, so that the first locking portion 142 slides into the sixth groove section 124, thereby locking the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12.

[0161] When the third groove section 122 in the second joint seat 12 and the fourth groove section in the third joint seat 13 are aligned to form the second locking groove 102, and the first locking member 14 slides toward the direction of locking the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12, the force of the linkage part 162 on the third locking member 15 is reduced, and the third locking member 15 will slide along the first direction toward the second joint seat 12 under the action of the third reset member 18, so that the third locking part 151 slides into the third groove section 122, thereby locking the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13, realizing joint locking, thereby realizing locking of the side bracket 20, and locking of the side bracket 20 and the cross brace 30.

[0162] The rotating support 40 adjusts the direction of the seat assembly so that the seat assembly faces forward or backward. After the support 40 is rotated into place, the rotating member 612 and the pushing member 62 are arranged relative to each other.

[0163] Unfold the push handle 70. Rotate the push handle 70, and the blocking portion 71 on the push handle 70 rotates until it contacts the slider 611, pushing the slider 611 to slide into the support 40, thereby pushing the rotating member 612 to rotate. The rotating member 612 pushes the pushing member 62, driving the first locking member 14 to approach the second joint seat 12 along the first direction, so that the first locking portion 142 cooperates with the second groove section 121, eliminating the shaking gap between the first joint seat 11 and the second joint seat 12.

[0164] Example 2

[0165] This embodiment provides a child stroller, which is further improved on the basis of the first embodiment to eliminate the shaking gap between the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13.

[0166] Specifically, along the direction from the third joint seat 13 to the second joint seat 12, the cross-sectional area of ​​at least part of the third locking portion 151 and the second locking groove 102 gradually decreases, so that at least part of the mating position of the third locking portion 151 and the second locking groove 102 is a smooth fit, thereby improving the stability of the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13 after being locked, and reducing the shaking of the joint 10. When the third locking portion 151 slides within the second locking groove 102 and gradually disengages from the second locking groove 102, a gap exists between the third locking portion 151 and the second locking groove 102, and the gap gradually increases, thereby ensuring that the third locking portion 151 can smoothly disengage from the second locking groove 102.

[0167] The cross-sectional area of ​​the second locking groove 102 gradually decreases as the third joint seat 13 points toward the second joint seat 12, and the shape of the third locking portion 151 matches the shape of the second locking groove 102. Both the second locking groove 102 and the third locking portion 151 are tapered, which improves the locking effect of the third locking portion 151 on the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12, thereby reducing the amount of wobble of the joint 10.

[0168] That is to say, along the direction from the third joint seat 13 to the second joint seat 12, the cross-sectional shape of the third locking portion 151 gradually decreases, the cross-sectional areas of the fourth slot segment and the third slot segment 122 gradually decrease, and the minimum cross-sectional area of ​​the fourth slot segment is equal to the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​the third slot segment 122, so that the cross-sectional area of ​​the second locking slot 102 changes continuously.

[0169] Specifically, the third locking portion 151 is shaped roughly like a prism, and correspondingly, the circumferential inner wall of the second locking groove 102 is shaped roughly like a prism, to ensure a gap-free fit between the third locking portion 151 and the second locking groove 102. It should be noted that the side surfaces of the third locking portion 151 can be either flat or curved.

[0170] In other embodiments, the shape of the third locking portion 151 may be a pyramid, a frustum, or a cone, so that the cross-sectional area of ​​the third locking portion 151 meets the requirement of a zero-gap fit.

[0171] In some embodiments, along the direction of the third joint seat 13 pointing to the second joint seat 12, the third locking portion 151 may include a fixed section with a fixed cross-sectional area and a gradient section with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area. Correspondingly, the second locking groove 102 includes a fixed groove section that cooperates with the fixed section and a gradient groove section that cooperates with the gradient section to ensure a gap-free fit. Exemplarily, the fixed section may be a prismatic section and the gradient section may be a prism section.

[0172] In some embodiments, along the direction pointing from the third joint seat 13 to the second joint seat 12, only the cross-sectional area of ​​at least part of the third locking portion 151 or part of the second locking groove 102 can be gradually reduced, which can also reduce or eliminate the fitting clearance, thereby reducing the amount of shaking of the joint 10.

[0173] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​one of the third locking portion 151 and the fourth slot segment gradually decreases along the direction from the third joint seat 13 to the second joint seat 12, so as to prevent the third locking member 15 and the third joint seat 13 from shaking relative to each other. For example, when the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12 are in a locked state, the cross-sectional area of ​​the portion of the third locking portion 151 that cooperates with the fourth slot segment gradually decreases along the direction from the third joint seat 13 to the second joint seat 12, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the fourth slot segment may remain unchanged; or, the cross-sectional area of ​​the fourth slot segment gradually decreases along the direction from the third joint seat 13 to the second joint seat 12, and when the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12 are in a locked state, the cross-sectional area of ​​the portion of the third locking portion 151 that cooperates with the fourth slot segment may remain unchanged.

[0174] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​one of the third locking portion 151 and the third slot segment 122 gradually decreases along the direction from the third joint seat 13 to the second joint seat 12, so as to prevent the third locking member 15 from shaking relative to the second joint seat 12. For example, when the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12 are in a locked state, the cross-sectional area of ​​the portion of the third locking portion 151 that cooperates with the third slot segment 122 gradually decreases along the direction from the third joint seat 13 to the second joint seat 12, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the third slot segment 122 may remain unchanged; alternatively, the cross-sectional area of ​​the third slot segment 122 gradually decreases along the direction from the third joint seat 13 to the second joint seat 12, and when the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12 are in a locked state, the cross-sectional area of ​​the portion of the third locking portion 151 that cooperates with the third slot segment 122 may remain unchanged.

[0175] Optionally, the third locking member 15 includes a second locking body, which is arranged on a side of the third joint seat 13 away from the second joint seat 12 , and the third locking portion 151 is slidably provided in the fourth slot section.

[0176] By arranging the second locking body on the side of the third joint seat 13 away from the second joint seat 12, the space between the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12 can be reduced, making the fit between the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12 more compact, thereby reducing the size of the joint and avoiding bloating of the joint and affecting flexibility.

[0177] In addition, the third locking portion 151 is disposed through the third joint seat 13 , and the third locking portion 151 only needs to move a small distance to engage with or disengage from the second slot section 121 in the second joint seat 12 , and the unlocking and locking response is fast.

[0178] Optionally, there are multiple third locking portions 151 , and the multiple third locking portions 151 are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the second locking body to improve the locking effect of the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12 .

[0179] In this embodiment, the second locking body may be a plate-like structure to reduce the space occupied by the second locking body, making the fit between the third locking member 15 and the third joint seat 13 more compact, thereby reducing the size of the joint.

[0180] Example 3

[0181] This embodiment provides a child stroller, which differs from the second embodiment in that a second joint cavity is formed between the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12, and the third locking member 15 is arranged in the second joint cavity. The third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12 can also be locked and unlocked by sliding the third locking member 15, and the amount of shaking of the joint in the locked state can be reduced.

[0182] Since the cross-sectional areas of the third locking portion 151 and the second locking groove 102 vary, interference will occur if the third locking member 15 is directly assembled with the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12, respectively. In order to facilitate the assembly of the third locking member 15 with the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12, respectively, the third joint seat 13 includes a second joint outer ring and a second end cover that can be detachably connected, the fourth groove section is arranged on the inner wall of the second joint outer ring, and the second end cover is arranged on the side of the second joint outer ring facing away from the second joint seat 12. During assembly, the second joint outer ring can be assembled with the second joint seat 12 first to form the second locking groove 102, and then the third locking member 15 can be installed into the second locking groove 102 along the direction from the third joint seat 13 to the second joint seat 12, and finally the second end cover can be fixed to the second joint outer ring to complete the assembly of the third joint seat 13, the second joint seat 12 and the third locking member 15.

[0183] Optionally, the second joint outer ring and the second end cover may be fixed by snap connection or screws to facilitate disassembly.

[0184] Example 4

[0185] This embodiment provides a child stroller that is further improved on the basis of the second embodiment.

[0186] To enhance the locking effect of the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12, a fourth locking member is provided in the second joint cavity, sliding along the first direction. The fourth locking member can lock or unlock the second joint seat 12 and the third joint seat 13. By adding the fourth locking member, it is possible to cooperate with the third locking member 15 to achieve dual locking of the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12, thereby ensuring the reliability of the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12 when they are in the locked state.

[0187] Specifically, a second tooth groove is provided on the inner wall of the second joint cavity, and the second tooth groove extends at both ends along the first direction to the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12. In other words, the second tooth groove is formed by splicing the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12. The fourth locking member includes a fourth locking portion that slidably engages with the second tooth groove, so that the fourth locking portion can switch between engaging only with the second joint seat 12 or engaging with both the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12, thereby locking and unlocking the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12.

[0188] Since the third locking piece 15 can achieve seamless fit with the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12, thereby eliminating the shaking of the joint 10, in this embodiment, an assembly gap is formed between the fourth locking part and the second tooth groove. On the basis of ensuring that the fourth locking part slides smoothly in the second tooth groove, the processing accuracy requirements are reduced, which is conducive to reducing costs.

[0189] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional areas of the fourth locking portion and the second tooth groove can be fixed along the first direction, which reduces the difficulty of processing the fourth locking member and the second tooth groove and facilitates the assembly of the fourth locking member and the second joint cavity.

[0190] The fourth locking member may be a joint tooth comprising a second gear body and a fourth locking portion, the fourth locking portion being projected from the circumferential outer wall of the second gear body. To enhance the locking effect of the fourth locking member on the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12, a plurality of fourth locking portions are provided, each of which is spaced apart along the circumference of the second gear body.

[0191] In order to avoid the fourth locking member interfering with the movement of the third locking member 15, when the third joint seat 13 and the second joint seat 12 are in a locked state, the first locking groove 101 and the second tooth groove are alternately arranged along the circumference of the second joint cavity, so that the first locking part 142 and the fourth locking part are alternately staggered to avoid interference between the first locking part 142 and the fourth locking part.

[0192] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the fourth locking member and the second tooth groove can refer to the cooperation between the third locking member 15 and the first tooth groove 103 in the first embodiment. The structure and principle are basically the same and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0193] In some embodiments, only the first locking member 14 and / or at least a portion of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first locking groove 101 can be set to gradually decrease in the direction from the first joint seat 11 to the second joint seat 12, or only the third locking member 15 and / or at least a portion of the cross-sectional area of ​​the second locking groove 102 can be set to gradually decrease in the direction from the third joint seat 13 to the second joint seat 12.

[0194] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
