Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the utility model patent application filed by Juji International Co., Ltd. on January 18, 2024, with application number 202420136057.3 and utility model title "Carrier". Technical Field
[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of vehicles, and more particularly to a vehicle mounted on a vehicle or mobile device for transporting pets. Background Technology
[0003] In recent years, as users have become increasingly concerned about pet safety in vehicles, most people use carriers such as bassinets and crates to carry their pets when traveling, making it convenient to transport and providing a location or seating area for the pet. However, the main body of such carriers (such as the basket or crate) is usually not foldable, which means they take up a lot of space in the vehicle when not in use. In some cases, the carriers are too large to fit in the trunk, forcing users to frequently move them.
[0004] At the same time, users are increasingly concerned about the safety of pet-carrying vehicles in vehicles or on mobile devices, such as the stability of the vehicle when it is fixed to a vehicle (e.g., a vehicle seat) or a mobile device (e.g., a stroller).
[0005] Furthermore, existing vehicles (such as sleeping crates) typically lack side impact protection, which means they cannot adequately cushion side impacts in the event of a collision (especially a side impact), increasing the likelihood of injury to pets inside. Therefore, to further improve pet safety while traveling, there is an urgent need for a vehicle with a crash-resistant structure. Utility Model Content

[0289] Vehicle seats 4600 Detailed Implementation
[0290] In the following, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the present disclosure is readily adaptable to various modifications and alternatives, specific embodiments thereof are illustrated by way of example in the drawings. However, the present disclosure should not be construed as limiting itself to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, it will cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.
[0291] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0292] The first aspect of this disclosure provides a vehicle 1100 that can be mounted on a vehicle seat and / or a wheeled mobility device, and a wheeled mobility device 1400 that works in conjunction with the vehicle 1100.
[0293] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 A perspective view of a vehicle 1100 according to a first embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown; and Figure 2 Show Figure 1 The exploded perspective view of the vehicle 1100 shown shows the vehicle body and support assembly separated.
[0294] like Figure 1As shown, the carrier 1100 includes a housing 1110 and a support assembly 1120. The housing 1110 includes a main body 1111 and a bottom support 1112. The main body 1111 is detachably mounted on the bottom support 1112 to form a seating space for a pet. The bottom support 1112 forms the bottom of the housing 1110, and the main body 1111 forms the four sides and top surface of the housing 1110. The main body 1111 is detachably connected to the bottom support 1112 via at least one connecting assembly. Specifically, in one example, the at least one connecting assembly includes a first connecting member 11116 and a second connecting member 11117 that are detachably connected to each other. The first connecting member 11116 is disposed on the main body 1111, and the second connecting member 11117 is disposed on the bottom support 1112. In one specific example, the first connector 11116 and the second connector 11117 are mutually cooperating zippers, but this disclosure is not limited to this. For example, they can also be mutually cooperating snap-fit structures, slip-on structures, hook and loop fasteners, hooks and loops, etc., and preferably, a flexible connection method is used. Alternatively, in another example, the body 1111 and the bottom support 1112 can be fixedly connected (e.g., sewn together) or integrally formed.
[0295] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bracket assembly 1120 is used to secure the carrier 1100 to a mobile device (e.g., a vehicle or trolley) and / or a mounting assembly. The housing 1110 is mounted on the bracket assembly 1120 via a bottom support 1112. Figure 2 As shown, the bracket assembly 1120 includes a locking member 1121, which cooperates with a corresponding locking structure on the mobile device. The specific locking method will be described below. Figures 10 to 15 The description provides a detailed explanation. In one example, the engaging member 1121 may be a ring-shaped structure, spaced apart from the bottom of the bottom support member 1112. The center of the engaging member 1121 approximately corresponds to the center of the housing 1110 in the vertical direction.
[0296] Furthermore, the support assembly 1120 may also include a plurality of first connecting brackets 1122, symmetrically arranged between the engaging member 1121 and the housing 1110. For example, four first connecting brackets 1122 are disposed on the engaging member 1121 to connect with the bottom of the housing 1110, and are spaced apart from each other, for example, respectively disposed near the four corners of the bottom of the housing 1110, thereby providing balanced and stable support for the housing 1110. Further, the four first connecting brackets 1122 may be symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the engaging member 1121 along the transverse axis direction with respect to the longitudinal axis direction D11 and the transverse axis direction D12 of the carrier 1100. For example, as... Figure 2As shown, four first connecting brackets 1122 are symmetrically arranged on the two long sides of the annular structure of the engaging member 1121. However, it should be understood that the engaging member of this disclosure is not limited to the shape described above, and the number of first connecting brackets 1122 is not limited to the number described above. Optionally, in another example, only two first connecting brackets 1122 may be provided, and the two first connecting brackets 1122 may be arranged diagonally. In other examples, the number of first connecting brackets 1122 may also be three, five, etc.
[0297] Furthermore, the bracket assembly 1120 may also include a plurality of second connecting brackets 1123, respectively mounted on opposite sides of the engaging member 1121 along the longitudinal axis D11, and connected to the bottom of the housing 1110, thereby further securing the connection between the housing 1110 and the bracket assembly 1120. It should be noted that, although in Figure 2 The illustration shows only two second connecting brackets 1123, but this disclosure is not limited to this; four, six, etc., can also be provided. Furthermore, it should be noted that in other examples, either the first connecting bracket 1122 or the second connecting bracket 1123 can be provided, as long as it can securely connect the housing 1110 and the bracket assembly 1120; this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.
[0298] Furthermore, the bracket assembly 1120 may also include a structural reinforcement 1124, approximately located at the middle of the engaging member 1121 along the longitudinal axis D11. The central portion of the structural reinforcement 1124 is curved towards the bottom of the housing 1110, meaning its central height is higher than the heights of its two ends, thereby giving the bracket assembly 1120 higher impact resistance and making it less prone to deformation under stress. However, it should be noted that the structure of the bracket assembly of this utility model is not limited to this embodiment.
[0299] refer to Figures 3 to 5 , Figure 3 Show Figure 1 The three-dimensional view of the main body 1111 shown is as follows. Figure 4 Show Figure 3 A perspective view of the side support member of the main body 1111 shown, and Figure 5 Show Figure 3 A perspective view of the upper support member of the main body 1111 shown.
[0300] like Figure 3As shown, the main body 1111 includes a first support member and a second support member. For example, in this embodiment, the first support member is a side support member 11111, and the second support member is an upper support member 11112. The side support member 11111 and the upper support member 11112 are detachably connected to each other, for example, by a zipper or by other connection methods such as Velcro. However, it is understood that the first support member and the second support member can also be configured into other structures according to the construction of the main body 1111. For example, the first support member and the second support member can also be configured as half of the main body 1111, that is, having a mirror-symmetrical shape.
[0301] Furthermore, in one example, combining Figure 3 and Figure 4 The side support member 11111 may include a first sub-support member 11111a and a second sub-support member 11111b, which are detachably connected to both sides of the upper support member 11112 (i.e., the upper support member 11112 is between the first sub-support member 11111a and the second sub-support member 11111b) to form the body 1111. The first sub-support member 11111a and the second sub-support member 11111b form the two sides of the body 1111. More specifically, the first sub-support member 11111a and the second sub-support member 11111b are independent of each other and have a bottom edge 11111m extending horizontally and an arched top edge 11111n, respectively. The bottom edges 11111m of the first sub-support member 11111a and the second sub-support member 11111b are detachably connected to the corresponding edges of the bottom support member 1112, and their top edges 11111n are detachably connected to both sides of the arched upper support member 11112.
[0302] In one example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first sub-support member 11111a and the second sub-support member 11111b can be connected to each other via a connecting member to be connected together to the bottom support member 1112 (see...). Figure 2 For example, the first connector 11116. Specifically, the first connector 11116 is connected to the bottom edge 11111m of the first sub-support 11111a and the second sub-support 11111b. Preferably, the first connector 11116 is made of a soft material (i.e., foldable, deformable, etc.), such as a zipper structure, fabric, etc., so that when the side support 11111 is connected to the bottom support 1112 (see...), the bottom support 11111 is connected to the bottom support 1112 (see...). Figure 2 After being disassembled and separated from the upper support member 11112, the first sub-support member 11111a and the second sub-support member 11111b can be folded relative to each other.
[0303] Preferably, the side support 11111 can be made of a material with a certain pressure-bearing capacity to prevent deformation during transportation, such as cardboard, plastic sheet, metal sheet, etc., but this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0304] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper support member 11112 is composed of three interconnected sheet-like members 11112a, 11112b, and 11112c, forming an arch shape. The three sheet-like members 11112a, 11112b, and 11112c can respectively constitute the top surface and two other side surfaces of the body 1111. For example, the first sheet-like member 11112a and the third sheet-like member 11112c respectively form the other two side surfaces of the body 1111 (i.e., located between the side surfaces formed by the first sub-support member 11111a and the second sub-support member 11111b), while the second sheet-like member 11112b forms the top surface of the body 1111. Preferably, the three sheet-like members 11112a, 11112b, and 11112c can all be made of materials with a certain pressure-bearing capacity to prevent deformation during transportation, such as cardboard, plastic sheets, or metal sheets, but this disclosure is not limited to these.
[0305] In one example, the first sheet 11112a and the second sheet 11112b can be connected to each other via a connecting structure (not shown due to obstruction) and can be folded relative to each other, while the second sheet 11112b and the third sheet 11112c can be connected via another connecting structure (see [link to example]). Figure 5 The pieces (11112f) shown are connected to each other and can be folded relative to each other, allowing the first piece 11112a and the third piece 11112c to fold inward relative to the second piece 11112b. In other words, the pieces on both sides can fold inward relative to the middle piece, allowing the disassembled upper support piece 11112 to be folded down, reducing its size and further decreasing the space required for storage and transportation costs. The above-mentioned connecting structure and the other connecting structure can be flexible, such as sewn fabric, or rigid. In a specific example, the upper support piece 11112 can be formed as a single piece using the above connecting structure (e.g., by sewing), that is, the three pieces 11112a, 11112b, and 11112c are formed as a single piece. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown, the top side of the upper support member 11112 (i.e., the second piece 11112b) may be provided with a handle 11115, for example at the center of the top side, for lifting the vehicle.
[0306] In one example, such as Figure 5As shown, the upper support member 11112 has third connectors 11118a and 11118b on its two sides, and fourth connectors 11119a and 11119b that can be respectively provided with the top edges 11111n of the first sub-support member 11111a and the second sub-support member 11111b (see...). Figure 4 The third connecting pieces 11118a and 11118b are detachably connected to the fourth connecting pieces 11119a and 11119b, respectively, so that the upper support piece 11112 is detachably connected to the first sub-support piece 11111a and the second sub-support piece 11111b. The third connecting pieces 11118a and 11118b and the fourth connecting pieces 11119a and 11119b can be flexible connecting pieces, such as a zipper structure, but this disclosure is not limited to this. In other examples, the third connecting pieces 11118a and 11118b and the fourth connecting pieces 11119a and 11119b can also be snap-fit structures, sliding buckle structures, hook and loop engagements, etc. Specifically, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a fourth connector 11119a (e.g., a zipper structure) provided on the first sub-support 11111a extends over the entire top edge 11111n of the first sub-support 11111a. Additionally or alternatively, a fourth connector 11119b (e.g., a zipper structure) provided on the second sub-support 11111b extends over the entire top edge of the second sub-support 11111b. Correspondingly, as... Figure 5 As shown, the third connecting pieces 11118a and 11118b (e.g., zipper structures) on both sides of the upper support 11112 can extend along the entire side of the upper support 11112. Preferably, the third connecting pieces 11118a and 11118b are respectively located on the two long sides of the upper support 11112. With this design, the upper support 11112 and the side support 11111 can be completely closed, making the connection between the two more reliable. Moreover, the upper support 11112 can be completely separated from the side support pieces 11111 on both sides along its long side, so that the box 1110 can be completely disassembled when no carrier is used, or the upper support 11112 can be partially separated from either side support piece 11111 as needed (i.e., the degree of separation between the upper support 11112 and the side support piece 11111 is controllable, making it convenient for the user to take out or put in items from the box 1110).
[0307] With the above structure, when the upper support member 11112 is connected to the side support member 11111 (i.e., partially or completely connected along the side edge of the upper support member 11112 and the top edge of the side support member 11111), the main body 1111 (or the box 1110) is in an unfolded state. When the carrier is not in use, the upper support member 11112 can be separated from the side support member 11111, and through the connection structure (especially a flexible connection structure) between the sheet-like members 11112a, 11112b, and 11112c of the upper support member 11112 and / or through the connecting member (especially a flexible connection member, such as the first connector 11116) between the first sub-support member 11111a and the second sub-support member 11111b of the side support member 11111, the side support member 11111 and / or the upper support member 11112 can be in a retracted state, thereby reducing the space required for storage. When the vehicle needs to be used again, simply unfold the side support 11111 and / or the upper support 11112 and connect them together. This design has the advantages of simple operation, low cost, small storage space and easy transportation.
[0308] In addition, combined again Figures 3 to 5 A window that can be opened and closed can be provided on either side of the main body 1111, providing a window for the pet to enter and exit the enclosure. Specifically, a window 11111d can be provided on either side support member 11111 of the main body 1111. Alternatively or additionally, a window 11112d can be provided on the upper support member 11112 of the main body 1111. For example, as Figure 4 As shown, curtains 11111d are respectively installed on the two side support members 11111. For example, as... Figure 3 As shown, curtains 11112d can be respectively installed on the surfaces of the upper support member 11112 near its two ends. These curtains can be closed and opened by a zipper structure, which can consist of a single zipper (e.g., Figure 4 The structure shown on the middle support member 11111 can also be composed of two zippers pulled apart in opposite directions (such as...). Figure 3 (As shown).
[0309] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, the curtains 11111d and 11112d can be made of soft fabric, such as mesh. However, it should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to this, and the curtains 11111d and 11112d can also be made of other forms of fabric or soft material. A retainer 11112e for keeping the curtain open can be provided at the upper part of the curtain.
[0310] Of course, the body disclosed herein is not limited to the structure described above. For example, the side support members of the body may also be connected as a single unit or formed as a single unit, which will be described below.
[0311] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 A perspective view of a side support 11111A according to a second embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown, and Figure 7 Showing with Figure 6 A perspective view of the upper support member 11112A that mates with the side support member 11111A shown.
[0312] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in the second embodiment, the body (the assembled body is not shown in this embodiment) includes a side support 11111A and an upper support 11112A. The side support 11111A includes a first sub-support 11111Aa and a second sub-support 11111Ab, which are integrally formed by connecting pieces 11111Ac (also referred to as "connecting members"). That is, the connecting piece 11111Ac is integrally formed with the first sub-support 11111Aa and the second sub-support 11111Ab. The connecting piece 11111Ac is respectively connected to both ends of the first sub-support 11111Aa and the second sub-support 11111Ab. More specifically, as shown... Figure 6 As shown, the bottom edges of the first sub-support member 11111Aa and the second sub-support member 11111Ab are circumferentially connected to the bottom edge of the connecting piece 11111Ac. The top edges of the first sub-support member 11111Aa and the second sub-support member 11111Ab are arched and connected to each other via the top edge of the connecting piece 11111Ac, so that the side support member 11111A can be detachably connected to the upper support member 11112A (see...). Figure 7 The connecting piece 11111Ac is located between the first sub-support 11111Aa and the second sub-support 11111Ab, and the bottom support (not shown in this embodiment). For example, in this embodiment, the connecting piece 11111Ac can be a sewn part. Preferably, the connecting piece 11111Ac can be made of a soft material, so that when stored, the two sub-supports of the side support can be pressed together towards each other, thereby reducing the volume of the box after folding. In this embodiment, the first connecting piece 11116 can be connected at the bottom edge of the first sub-support 11111Aa and the second sub-support 11111Ab and the bottom edge of the connecting piece 11111Ac, so as to cooperate with the second connecting piece (not shown) provided on the bottom support (not shown) to achieve a detachable connection.
[0313] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the upper support member 11112A can also be detachably connected to the side support member 11111A via a flexible connector (e.g., a zipper structure). For example, the flexible connector can be provided on the edge of the upper support member 11112A, and on the top edge formed by the top edges of the first sub-support member 11111Aa and the second sub-support member 11111Ab and the top edge of the connecting piece 11111Ac (more specifically, extending along the entire edge), so that the upper support member 11112A can be completely closed and completely separated relative to the side support member 11111A. Similarly, a flexible connector can also be provided at the bottom edge formed by the bottom edges of the first sub-support member 11111Aa and the second sub-support member 11111Ab and the bottom edge of the connecting piece 11111Ac, to cooperate with the flexible connector provided on the bottom support member.
[0314] Of course, in this embodiment, a curtain can also be installed on the side support and / or the upper support, as described above. Figures 3 to 5 The embodiments shown are similar, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0315] refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 8 A perspective view of the body 1111B of the vehicle according to a third embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown, and Figure 9 Show Figure 8 A perspective view of the bottom support member 1112B of the vehicle shown.
[0316] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the bottom edge of the body 1111B of the carrier in this third embodiment may also be provided with downwardly extending extensions 11113B and 11114B for insertion into corresponding insertion grooves 11121B in the bottom support member 1112B. In one example, the insertion groove 11121B may be formed by a protrusion on the bottom 1112Ba of the bottom support member 1112B near the peripheral wall 1112Bb and the peripheral wall 1112Bb. Preferably, the insertion groove 11121B extends along the peripheral wall 1112Bb of the bottom support member 1112B. It should be noted that... Figure 8 The image shown is similar to... Figures 3 to 5 Similar to the side support 11111B and upper support 11112B shown in the embodiment, the extension 11113B extends downward from the bottom edge of the side support 11111B of the body 1111B, and optionally or alternatively, the extension 11114B extends downward from the bottom edge of the upper support 11112B. However, it should be understood that the extension may also be provided as... Figure 6 The bottom edge of the body in the illustrated embodiment.
[0317] By setting a groove for insertion and using a zipper connection between the main body and the bottom support, the main body of the box can be more firmly connected to the bottom support, preventing slippage or tilting between the main body and the bottom support.
[0318] refer to Figures 10 to 13 , Figure 10 This diagram shows a bottom perspective view of the vehicle according to the first aspect of this disclosure. Figure 11 Showing with Figure 10 The perspective view of the mounting bracket assembly 1200 that mates with the vehicle 1100 is shown. Figure 12 A perspective view showing the vehicle mounted to the vehicle via the mounting bracket assembly 1200, and Figure 13 Show Figure 12 A perspective view of the fixing strap assembly 1300 shown.
[0319] Combination Figures 10 and 11 As shown, the bracket assembly 1120 of the vehicle 1100 of the first aspect of this disclosure is disposed below the bottom support member 1112 of the housing 1110, and can be fixed to the mounting bracket assembly 1200 mounted on the vehicle, for example, by engaging the engaging member 1121 of the bracket assembly 1120 with the engaging portion 1210 of the mounting bracket assembly 1200. Thus, the vehicle 1100 is fixed to the vehicle seat by engaging the connecting device 1220 (e.g., an ISOFIX fastener) of the mounting bracket assembly 1200 with a connector provided on the vehicle. Preferably, as Figure 11 As shown, four engaging parts 1210 can be symmetrically arranged on the fixing base assembly 1200, so that the bracket assembly 1120 is fixed to the fixing base assembly 1200 at the four engaging points, thereby making the positioning of the two more stable.
[0320] In addition, the vehicle 1100 can be further secured using a top tether connection. For example... Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the carrier 1100 can also be secured to the vehicle using a securing strap assembly 1300. Specifically, the securing strap assembly 1300 includes a first strap 1310 and a second strap 1320, wherein the first strap and the second strap can be collectively referred to as the strap body. In one example, the first strap 1310 can be configured such that one end is connected to a corresponding anchoring position (such as a Top Tether interface) above or on top of the vehicle seat via a connecting device 1340 (such as a Top Tether fastener) thereon, while the other end is connected to one end of the second strap 1320. Correspondingly, the other end of the second strap 1320 can be directly connected (such as by wrapping it securely to the bracket assembly 1120 of the carrier 1100) or detachably connected to another corresponding anchoring position on the carrier 1100 and / or the vehicle seat via a connecting device 1330 (such as a LATCH fastener). In this example, two second straps 1320 may be provided, each connected to the other end of the first strap 1310. Optionally or alternatively, the second strap 1320 may be configured as a folded strap, for example, passing through a connecting piece (such as a loop) provided on the other end of the first strap 1310 to form one end of the second strap 1320. The two ends of this strap constitute the other end of the second strap 1320 connected to the carrier 1100 and / or the vehicle seat. Of course, the fixing strap assembly 1300 of this disclosure is not limited to the above structure. In addition, an adjuster 1350 (also referred to as an "adjustment part") may be provided on the second strap 1320 and / or the first strap 1310 for adjusting the length of the second strap 1320 and / or the first strap 1310. In another example, one end of the first belt 1310 may be provided with a connecting device 1340 (e.g., a top tether fastener), and the other end of the first belt 1310 may be provided with a connecting device 1330 (e.g., a latt fastener); while one end of the second belt 1320 may be movably mounted on the first belt 1310 via an adjuster 1350 (for adjusting the length of the second belt 1320), and the other end of the second belt 1320 may be provided with another connecting device 1330. Correspondingly, as Figure 10 As shown, the bottom support member 1112 has two connecting parts 11122 on its two outer periphery sides for connecting with the connecting device 1330.
[0321] When it is necessary to secure the vehicle 1100 to the vehicle seat, such as Figure 12As shown in the assembly diagram, after the vehicle 1100 is fixed to the vehicle seat by the fixing seat assembly 1200, the two connecting devices 1330 of the fixing strap assembly 1300 can be connected to the two connecting parts 11122 on one side of the bottom support 1112 respectively, and the other end of the fixing strap assembly 1300 (i.e., the connecting device 1340 of the first strap 1310) is passed through the handle 11115 provided on the top side of the vehicle 1100 to connect with the corresponding interface (e.g., the Top Tether interface) provided on the vehicle, thereby further restricting the lateral sliding and tilting of the vehicle 1100, so as to fix the vehicle 1100 more stably.
[0322] In addition, refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 , Figure 14 Showing with Figure 10 A perspective view of the wheeled mobility device 1400 that mates with the vehicle 1100, and... Figure 15 A perspective view showing the vehicle 1100 mounted on the wheeled mobility device 1400 is shown.
[0323] Combined Figure 10 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 The vehicle 1100 can also be locked to the wheeled mobility device 1400, such as a handcart, via a support assembly 1120 disposed below it. Figure 14 As shown, the frame 1410 of the wheeled mobile device 1400 includes a front support rod 1411, a rear support rod 1412, and an upper support rod 1413 pivotally connected to each other at a pivot point 1410a. Wheel sets are respectively connected to the lower ends of the front support rod 1411 and the rear support rod 1412. In one example, the front support rod 1411 may have a U-shaped structure, and the rear support rod 1412 may be formed by two parallel rods fixedly connected by a crossbar, with both ends of the front support rod 1411 pivotally connected to one end of each of the two rods of the rear support rod 1412. Furthermore, a seat plate 1420 for securing the carrier 1100 is also provided on the frame 1410. In one example, the seat plate 1420 can be positioned approximately horizontally below the pivot point 1410a by a support frame 1414 and near the wheel assembly located at the lower end of the front support rod 1411, so that there is a large space above the seat plate 1420, thereby enabling it to accommodate vehicles with different sizes (e.g., different heights) of housings.
[0324] Specifically, when it is necessary to secure the vehicle 1100 to the wheeled mobile device 1400, the engaging member 1121 of the bracket assembly 1120 (see...) Figure 10The carrier 1100 can be engaged with the locking member 1422 of the locking structure of the seat plate 1420 to secure the carrier 1100 to the seat plate 1420 of the wheeled mobility device 1400; and when the carrier 1100 is not in use, it can be secured by pressing the release operation member 1421 provided on the seat plate 1420 (e.g., Figure 14 (As shown, exposed from the upper side of the seat plate 1410), causing the locking member 1422 to release the engaging member 1121 (see...) Figure 10 This allows the vehicle 1100 to be unloaded and the frame 1410 to be folded down for storage. Preferably, four locking structures may be symmetrically provided on the seat plate 1420 to make the positioning between the vehicle 1100 and the wheeled mobility device 1400 more secure.
[0325] Of course, it should be noted that the seat plate 1410 can also be set in other positions on the frame 1410 (such as at different heights), for example, by means of... Figure 14 The first connecting component 1415 (one end connected to the upper support rod 1413) and the second connecting component 1416 (one end connected to the front support rod 1411) shown are located near or higher than the pivot point 1410a, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0326] The second aspect of this disclosure also provides a vehicle that can be mounted on a vehicle seat and / or a wheeled mobility device.
[0327] refer to Figures 16 to 18 , Figure 16 The container 3110 of the vehicle according to the first embodiment of the second aspect of this disclosure is shown. Figure 17 Show Figure 16 The exploded perspective view of the box 3110 shown, and Figure 18 Show Figure 17 A perspective view of the body 3111 of the box 3110 shown.
[0328] like Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, a carrier according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a box 3110, the box 3110 includes a body 3111 and a bottom support member 3112, wherein the body 3111 constitutes the four sides and the top surface of the box 3110, and the bottom support member 3112 constitutes the bottom of the box 3110.
[0329] In one embodiment, the body 3111 is detachably connected to the bottom support 3112, and more specifically, covers the bottom support 3112 to form a accommodating space for holding a pet. In a specific example, the body 3111 can be detachably connected to the bottom support 3112 via at least one first connecting component, wherein the first connecting component may have a first connecting member 31116 disposed on the body 3111 and a second connecting member 31117 disposed at a corresponding position on the bottom support 3112, and the corresponding connecting members 31116 and 31117 have a detachable structure that cooperates with each other, such as a zipper structure, a snap structure, a sliding buckle structure, a Velcro fastener, a hook and loop structure, etc. Optionally, the first connecting component (i.e., the first connecting member 31116 and the second connecting member 31117) has a flexible structure. Specifically, as Figure 17 As shown, at least one first connector 31116 of a first connecting component may be disposed at the bottom edge of the body 3111 so as to be detachably connected to a second connector 31117 at the upper edge of the bottom support 3112.
[0330] Reference Figure 17 and Figure 18 The main body 3111 may include a first support member and a second support member. In this embodiment, the first support member may be a side support member 31111, and the second support member may be an upper support member 31112. The side support member 31111 and the upper support member 31112 can be at least partially detachably connected to each other through at least one second connecting component. That is, the side support member 31111 and the upper support member 31112 are connected to each other, and at least a portion of the side support member 31111 can be separated from the upper support member 31112 through at least one second connecting component. The second connecting component may include mating structures respectively disposed on the side support member 31111 and the upper support member 31112, such as mating zipper structures, snap-fit structures, sliding buckle structures, Velcro, hook and loop structures, etc., and optionally a flexible connecting structure.
[0331] In one example, such as Figure 17As shown, the side support 31111 may include a first sub-support 31111a and a second sub-support 31111b. The first sub-support 31111a and the second sub-support 31111b are respectively disposed on both sides of the upper support 31112 (e.g., symmetrically disposed with respect to the upper support 31112), and at least a portion of the first sub-support 31111a and at least a portion of the second sub-support 31111b can be detachably connected to the upper support 31112 via a second connecting assembly. The first sub-support 31111a and the second sub-support 31111b of the side support 31111 form two sides of the body 3111, while the upper support 31112 forms the top surface of the body 3111 and at least a portion of the other two sides.
[0332] Specifically, such as Figure 17 As shown, the first sub-support 31111a and the second sub-support 31111b of the side support 31111 have a generally horizontally extending bottom edge and an arched top edge, respectively, and their top edges are connected to both sides of the upper support 31112. It should be noted that the figure exemplarily shows the bottom edge 31111m and the top edge 31111n of the first sub-support 31111a, but it is understood that the second sub-support 31111b can also have the same structure, i.e., a structure mirror-symmetrical to the first sub-support 31111a. Furthermore, "generally horizontally extending bottom edge" here means that the bottom edge of the first and / or second sub-support can extend horizontally, can extend obliquely at a small angle (e.g., ≤5°), or has an edge with a shape similar to a wave or a zigzag in the horizontal direction.
[0333] According to a preferred embodiment of this disclosure, a portion of the first support member is fixedly connected (e.g., non-detachably connected) to the second support member. For example, a side support member 31111 (i.e., the first support member) is connected to both sides of the upper support member 31112 (i.e., the second support member) along the entire length of the side of the upper support member 31112, wherein the upper portion of the side support member 31111 (i.e., the position near the top surface of the body 3111) is detachably connected to the upper support member 31112, for example, via a second connecting assembly, while the other connecting portions between the two are non-detachably connected (i.e., fixedly connected) by means of stitching or integral molding, such that a portion of the side support member 31111 cannot be separated from the upper support member 31112.
[0334] Combination Figure 17 and Figure 18 The corresponding connectors in the second connecting assembly can be respectively disposed at at least a portion of the top edge of the side support 31111 and at corresponding positions on both sides of the upper support 31112. Specifically, in one embodiment, taking the side of the first sub-support 31111a and its corresponding upper support 31112 as an example (see... Figure 18 The second connecting assembly may have a third connector 31118 and a fourth connector 31119 that are detachably connected to each other. The third connector 31118 is disposed on the side of the upper support 31112 (i.e., the side connected to the first sub-support 31111a) and extends along at least a portion of that side. The fourth connector 31119 is correspondingly disposed at the top edge 31111n of the first sub-support 31111a (i.e., extending along at least a portion of the top edge 31111n). Thus, through the detachable engagement of the third connector 31118 and the fourth connector 31119, at least a portion of the top edge 31111n of the first sub-support 31111a is detachably connected to one side of the upper support 31112. Similarly, another set of third and fourth connectors (not shown in the figures) may be disposed on the other side of the upper support 31112 and at the top edge of the second sub-support 31111b. In one example, the third connectors 31118 on both sides of the upper support 31112 are symmetrically arranged.
[0335] Optionally, a portion of the side support 31111 is fixedly connected (e.g., non-detachably connected) to the upper support 31112. That is, the third connector 31118 extends along a portion of the side of the upper support 31112, and the fourth connector 31119 extends along a portion of the top edge 31111n of the first sub-support 31111a (or the second sub-support 31111b). The third connector 31118 and the fourth connector 31119 are correspondingly provided and detachably connected to each other, so that a portion of the side support 31111 can be separated from the upper support 31112, while the other portion of the side support 31111 is connected to the corresponding portion of the upper support 31112 in a non-detachable manner such as stitching or integral molding. Similarly, at least a portion of the top edge of the second sub-support member 31111b can also be connected to the other side of the upper support member 31112 via the same detachable structure described above, and optionally, a portion of the second sub-support member 31111b is fixedly connected to the upper support member 31112. For ease of explanation, Figure 18 The dashed lines V31 and V32 indicate the connection positions between the top edges of the first sub-support member 31111a and the second sub-support member 31111b and the corresponding sides of the upper support member 31112, respectively. However, it should be noted that the dashed lines V31 and V32 are merely virtual lines for illustrative purposes and do not represent the linear structure inherent in the structure itself. Furthermore, Figure 18 The top edge represented by the dashed lines V31 and V32 shown is only one example of this embodiment. The boundary and length of the top edge can also be changed according to the overall shape of the side support. That is, this disclosure is not limited to the above embodiment.
[0336] In one embodiment, the third connector 31118 and the fourth connector 31119 of the second connecting assembly have flexible structures, such as interlocking zipper structures, so that the portions of the side support 31111 and the upper support 31112 that are detached from each other can be bent and / or folded.
[0337] In addition, such as Figure 17 As shown, the first sub-support member 31111a and the second sub-support member 31111b can be connected as a single unit by a connecting piece 31111c. For example, the first sub-support member 31111a and the second sub-support member 31111b can be integrally formed with the connecting piece 31111c to constitute a side support member 31111. At this time, the bottom edges of the first sub-support member 31111a and the second sub-support member 31111b ( Figure 17 The bottom edge 31111m of the first sub-support member 31111a and the bottom edge of the connecting piece 31111c together form the bottom edge of the body 3111 (that is, the bottom edge of the entire side support member 31111). Optionally, the connecting piece 31111c can be made of a flexible material, so that when the box is folded up, the two sub-support members of the side support member 31111 can be pressed together towards each other, thereby reducing the volume of the box after it is folded up.
[0338] In one embodiment, such as Figure 18 As shown, the upper support member 31112 may include three interconnected sheet-like members, forming an arch when connected to the side support member 31111. Specifically, the upper support member 31112 may include a first sheet-like member 31112a, a second sheet-like member 31112b, and a third sheet-like member 31112c, wherein the first sheet-like member 31112a and the third sheet-like member 31112c respectively constitute a portion of the other two sides of the body 3111, while the second sheet-like member 31112b constitutes the top surface of the body 3111. Optionally, the first sheet-like member 31112a and the third sheet-like member 31112c have a flexible structure (i.e., bendable), such that when a portion of the side support member 31111 separates from the upper support member 31112, the upper support member 31112 can be folded relative to the side support member 31111 by the flexible structure of the first sheet-like member 31112a and the third sheet-like member 31112c. The specific process of collecting the money will be detailed below. Figures 22 to 24 Please provide an explanation.
[0339] In one specific example, the upper support member 31112 may have an integral structure, that is, the three sheet-like members 31112a, 31112b, and 31112c are formed into one piece, for example, by means of connection such as sewing. However, this disclosure is not limited to this, and the three sheet-like members may also be detachably connected to each other by means of a flexible connection structure or the like.
[0340] In addition, such as Figure 16As shown, a handle 3115 may be provided on the top side of the upper support member 31112 (i.e., the second sheet member 31112b), for example at the center of the top side, for lifting the vehicle. In one example, the handle 3115 may be a flexible webbing. Alternatively or alternatively, the handle 3115 may also be made of rigid plastic.
[0341] In one embodiment, such as Figure 17 As shown, the housing 3110 may also be provided with a pad 3101 for bottom cushioning. In one example, the pad 3101 may be located in the receiving space formed by the bottom 3112a and the peripheral wall 3112b of the bottom support 3112. Specifically, a cover (not shown, such as a cloth cover) may be fitted over the outside of the bottom support 3112, and the pad 3101 may be enclosed in the cover. For example, the cover may be detachably fitted over the bottom support 3112, and preferably, it may be made of the same material as the body 3111, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0342] See again Figure 16 and Figure 17 Two connecting portions 31121 can be respectively provided on the outer periphery of both sides of the bottom support member 3112 (i.e., the outer side of the peripheral wall). The connecting portions 31121 are used to connect with the connecting device for mounting the housing 3110 on the vehicle seat, which will be described in detail below. Figure 24 The following description is provided. It should be noted that when the bottom support 3112 is covered by the cover, the connecting part 31121 is exposed for connection with the vehicle seat.
[0343] refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 Show Figure 16 Another perspective view of the box 3110 shown, in which at least a portion of the second curtain 3117a is separated from the body 3111.
[0344] like Figure 19 As shown, windows, such as a first window 3116 and a second window 3117, can be provided on one or more sides of the main body 3111 to allow observation of the pet inside the enclosure 3110 and / or to provide openings for the pet to enter and exit the enclosure. The first window 3116 and the second window 3117 can each be provided with a first sealing element and a second sealing element to close and / or cover the first window 3116 and the second window 3117, respectively. In one example, the first sealing element can be a first curtain 3116a covering the first window 3116, and the second sealing element can be a second curtain 3117a covering the second window 3117.
[0345] Specifically, in one example, the first window 3116 is disposed on the first sub-support member 31111a and / or the second sub-support member 31111b of the side support member 31111 of the body 3111, and is provided with a first curtain 3116a for covering and shielding the first window 3116. Optionally, the first curtain 3116a may be fixedly connected to the first window 3116 (e.g., its window frame), that is, the first window 3116 cannot be opened, but this disclosure is not limited thereto, the first curtain 3116a may also be detachably connected to the first window 3116. For example, the first curtain 3116a may have a transparent material and / or a breathable material, or specifically, the first curtain 3116a may have a mesh structure.
[0346] Furthermore, the second window 3117 can be disposed on the upper support member 31112 of the main body 3111, for example, the upper support member 31112 is located on the side of the housing 3110, and is provided with a second curtain 3117a for covering and shielding the second window 3117. Optionally, as Figure 19 As shown, the second window 3117 can extend downward from the upper support member 31112 to the connecting piece 31111c, and further, a portion of the second window 3117 can be located on the connecting piece 31111c of the side support member 31111. The lower edge of the second window 3117 is a certain distance from the bottom edge of the body 3111 (shown in the figure as the bottom edge 31111m of the side support member 31111, i.e., a portion of the bottom edge of the body 3111), thus retaining at least a portion of the connecting piece 31111c. This ensures that the bottom edges of the first sub-support member 31111a and the second sub-support member 31111b of the side support member 31111 remain connected, thereby facilitating the folding and unfolding of the body 3111, as well as connecting the body 3111 to the bottom support member 3112 and disassembling it from the bottom support member 3112.
[0347] In one example, such as Figure 19 As shown, a second curtain 3117a is connected to and covers the second window 3117 (e.g., connected to its window frame), and at least a portion of the second curtain 3117a can be opened relative to the second window 3117. In a preferred embodiment, a portion of the second curtain 3117a is detachably connected to the second window 3117, while another portion is non-detachably connected to the second window 3117. For example, the upper side of the second curtain 3117a is fixedly connected to the second window 3117, while other portions can be detachably connected to the second window 3117, such that the second curtain 3117a can be folded upwards to open the second window 3117.
[0348] In one example, the second curtain 3117a may have a transparent material or a mesh structure. Optionally or alternatively, the second curtain 3117a may have different materials or thicknesses; for example, a portion of it may be made of a transparent and / or breathable material (specifically, a mesh structure), while the remaining portion may be made of other materials, such as the same material as other portions of the body 3111. Furthermore, the different portions of the second curtain 3117a with different materials and / or thicknesses may be connected to the body 3111 in different ways; for example, a portion may be detachably connected to the body 3111, while another portion may be non-detachably connected. Optionally, the different materials of the second curtain 3117a may be integrated into a single unit, i.e., the second curtain 3117a may be a single component (i.e., a single part).
[0349] For example, such as Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the second window curtain 3117a has a first portion 31171a and a second portion 31172a connected to each other. The first portion 31171a may be made of a transparent and / or breathable material (e.g., a mesh structure) and covers a portion of the second window 3117. At least a portion of the first portion 31171a may be fixedly (e.g., non-removably) connected to the body 3111. Specifically, the first portion 31171a may be located on the upper portion of the second window 3117 near the top surface of the body 3111, and its upper end may be fixedly connected to the upper edge of the second window 3117. The second portion 31172a may have a different material and / or thickness than the first portion 31171a, such as an opaque material and / or be thicker than the first portion 31171a, and may be detachably connected to the body 3111 by a flexible connection structure, specifically connected to the underside of the first portion 31171a to cover another portion of the second window 3117.
[0350] In addition, such as Figure 19 As shown, the first curtain 3116a and / or the second curtain 3117a can be flexible fabrics, such as mesh fabric, sponge fabric, etc. However, it should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to this; the first curtain 3116a and / or the second curtain 3117a can also be other forms of fabric or flexible material, i.e., materials that can be bent or folded. In one example, the first curtain 3116a and / or the second curtain 3117a can be closed and at least partially opened by a zipper structure (or other flexible, detachable connection structure), which can consist of a single zipper or two zippers that open in opposite directions (e.g., ...). Figure 19 (As shown).
[0351] It should be noted that the windows and / or sealing components disclosed herein are not limited to the above embodiments, and the functions and opening and closing methods of the first window 3116 and the second window 3117 can be consistent or interchangeable, and the functions, materials and connection methods of the first curtain 3116a and the second curtain 3117a with the corresponding windows can also be consistent or interchangeable.
[0352] Furthermore, the enclosure 3110 may also contain anti-collision material, for example, on any side of the body 3111 of the enclosure 3110. When the enclosure 3110 is placed on a vehicle seat, the anti-collision material may be provided at least on the side of the body 3111 near the door to further improve the safety of the pet inside the enclosure 3110. However, this disclosure is not limited to this; the anti-collision material may also be provided on each side of the body 3111, or on the side of the body 3111 near the door and its opposite side, and may have a certain thickness. Specifically, the anti-collision material may be a buffer. The buffer may be constructed as a separate component, for example, it may be a separately molded buffer block, which is then wrapped in a cloth bag and sewn into the bag, and then fixed to the seat fabric (i.e., the seat fabric covering the body 3111, not shown in the figure) on any side of the enclosure 3110 (e.g., the side near the door and optionally its opposite side) by means of sewing (fixed connection), hook and loop fasteners, or snap fasteners (detachable connection). For example, corresponding hook and loop fasteners or concealed fasteners can be provided on the cloth bag covering the cushioning block and on any side of the housing 3110 (specifically, the seat cloth covering the housing 3110) to allow for the installation of cushioning bodies as needed, which helps control the cost of the vehicle and facilitates cleaning and maintenance. That is, only one cushioning body can be provided, for example, on the side of the housing 3110 near the door; or multiple cushioning bodies can be provided, for example, on the side of the housing 3110 near the door and its opposite side, or on each side of the housing 3110. Specifically, the cushioning body is a flexible material, such as foam, plastic, or elastomer. The foam can be inert memory foam, EPP, EPS, or EPE, or combinations thereof, or it can be foam combined with PE board, etc., with a thickness between 20mm and 60mm, preferably 40mm, but this disclosure is not limited thereto; the plastic can be PC / PP / ABS plastic blocks, etc.; and the elastomer can be silicone, springs, or sheet springs, etc., but this disclosure is not limited thereto. Such a buffer not only provides excellent cushioning but also facilitates processing, molding, and subsequent assembly, reducing production costs. Optionally or alternatively, the impact-resistant material can be configured as a filler material within the seat fabric.
[0353] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 20As shown, the anti-collision material can be disposed at the second curtain 3117a (e.g., its second portion 31172a). Optionally or alternatively, the anti-collision material can be configured as a filling material filled within the second portion 31172a of the second curtain 3117a, but this disclosure is not limited thereto, and the two can also be separate structures joined together.
[0354] refer to Figures 21 to 24 , Figure 21 and Figure 22 Show respectively Figure 17 The folding process of the body 3111 of the container 3110 of the vehicle shown, and Figure 23 and Figure 24 Show respectively Figure 17 The folding process of the container shown.
[0355] like Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, when the box 3110 needs to be stored, the user can lift the main body 3111 of the box 3110 from the bottom support 3112 (see reference). Figure 17 The upper support 31112 is then disassembled from the side support 31111. At this point, at least a portion of the upper support 31112 is separated from the side support 31111 by the second connecting assembly, namely, the detachably connected third connector 31118 and fourth connector 31119, and preferably a portion of the upper support 31112 is non-detachably connected to the side support 31111. Further, as... Figure 21 and Figure 22As shown, a portion of the second curtain 3117a, located at the second window 3117, is detached from the second window 3117, resulting in a smaller area at the connection between the upper support member 31112 and the side support member 31111. This makes folding easier and allows the upper support member 31112 to be folded relative to the side support member 31111 in different postures. Thus, when folding the main body 3111, because the first sheet-like member 31112a and the third sheet-like member 31112c of the upper support member 31112 (and the second curtain 3117a placed thereon) have a flexible structure, the portion of the upper support member 31112 separated from the side support member 31111 can be pulled between the first sub-support member 31111a and the second sub-support member 31111b of the side support member 31111, allowing the second sheet-like member 3111a of the upper support member 31112 to be folded. 2b (i.e., the top surface of the body 3111) can be placed parallel to the first sub-support 31111a and / or the second sub-support 31111b of the side support 111. Furthermore, the sheet-like parts on both sides of the upper support 31112 (i.e., the first sheet-like part 31112a and the third sheet-like part 31112c) can be folded inward relative to the middle sheet-like part (i.e., the second sheet-like part 31112b) to minimize the volume of the upper support 31112 when folded. Please refer to the diagram for the folded structure. Figure 22 .
[0356] Further reference Figure 23 and Figure 24 Alternatively, the bottom support 3112 and the pad 3101 disposed in the bottom support 3112 can be placed in the folded body 3111 (e.g., between the first sub-support 31111a and the second sub-support 31111b), and then the first sub-support 31111a and the second sub-support 31111b can be brought closer to each other, thereby minimizing the folded volume of the entire box 3110 (see...). Figure 24 ).
[0357] refer to Figures 25 to 27 , Figure 25 and Figure 26 The container 3210 of the vehicle according to the second embodiment of the second aspect of this disclosure is shown from different angles, and... Figure 27 Show Figure 25 Another perspective view of the housing 3210 shown, in which the window 3217 on one side of the housing 3210 is in the open state.
[0358] like Figure 25As shown, similar to the box 3110 in the previous embodiment, the box 3210 of this embodiment includes a body 3211 and a bottom support 3212. The body 3211 forms the four sides and top surface of the box 3210, the bottom support 3212 forms the bottom of the box 3210, and the body 3211 is detachably connected to and covers the bottom support 3212 to form a holding space for carrying a pet. Specifically, in conjunction with Figure 25 and Figure 26 The main body 3211 includes a first support member and a second support member, such as a side support member 32111 and an upper support member 32112. The side support member 32111 includes a first sub-support member 32111a and a second sub-support member 32111b, which respectively constitute two opposite sides of the main body 3211. The upper support member 32112 includes a first sheet-like member 32112a, a second sheet-like member 32112b, and a third sheet-like member 32112c connected together. The second sheet-like member 32112b constitutes the top surface of the main body 3211, while the first sheet-like member 32112a and the third sheet-like member 32112c respectively constitute at least a portion of the other two opposite sides.
[0359] In one example, the side support 32111 and the upper support 32112 can be at least partially detachably connected to each other via at least one second connecting assembly. For example, a portion of the first sub-support 32111a and a portion of the second sub-support 32111b of the side support 32111 can be fixedly (e.g., non-detachably) connected to both sides of the upper support 32112, while the other portion of each can be detachably connected to the upper support 32112 via the second connecting assembly. Specifically, each second connecting assembly can include a third connecting member 32118 and a fourth connecting member 32119 detachably connected to each other, wherein the third connecting member 32118 is disposed on a side of the upper support 32112 and extends along a portion of that side, and the fourth connecting member 32119 is disposed at a corresponding position on the top edge of the side support 32111 (i.e., the first sub-support 32111a or the second sub-support 32111b). Optionally, the third connectors 32118 provided on the two sides of the upper support 32112 are symmetrically arranged, that is, the two second connecting components are symmetrically arranged with respect to the housing 3210.
[0360] In addition, windows may be provided on one or more sides of the main body 3211 to allow observation of the pet inside the enclosure 3210 and / or to provide openings for the pet to enter and exit the enclosure.
[0361] In one example, such as Figure 25As shown, a first window 3216 may be provided on the side support member 32111 of the main body 3211. For example, the first window 3216 may be provided on the first sub-support member 32111a and / or the second sub-support member 32111b of the side support member 32111, that is, corresponding to the front and / or rear sides of the box 3210 when placed in a vehicle, and is configured to be covered by a first sealing member (e.g., a first curtain 216a). Optionally, the first curtain 216a may be fixedly connected to the first window 3216, or detachably connected to the first window 3216. The first curtain 216a may have a transparent material and / or a breathable material, such as a breathable mesh, to allow air circulation inside and outside the box 3210, and to allow the user to observe the interior of the box 3210.
[0362] In an optional or alternative example, such as Figure 25 and Figure 26 As shown, a second window 3217 may be provided on the upper support 32112 at a position on the side of the housing 3210, and the second window 3217 is configured to be covered by a second sealing member, such as a second curtain 3217a and / or a side door 3217b. At least a portion of the second sealing member is detachably connected to the body 3211. In one example, a portion of the second sealing member may be fixedly connected to the body 3211, for example, at least a portion of one side of the window frame of the second window 3217, while other portions may be detachably connected to the second window 3217 via a flexible detachable connection structure (e.g., a zipper structure), allowing the second sealing member to be opened laterally relative to the second window 3217 (see [reference]). Figure 27 The second sealing element may be made of a transparent and / or breathable material, a light-blocking material, or the same material as other parts of the body 3211 (e.g., a seat fabric), and the second sealing element may be made of a flexible or rigid material. In this embodiment, the flexible detachable connection structure may be a zipper structure. Specifically, for example... Figure 25 and Figure 26 As shown, the zipper structure may consist of a single zipper extending along a portion of the outer periphery of window 3217 (i.e., the zipper structure has a single zipper pull), but this disclosure is not limited thereto. The zipper structure may also be modified as needed to consist of two zippers that open in opposite directions (i.e., the zipper structure has a double zipper pull).
[0363] Specifically, only one second window 3217 can be provided, for example, located on one side of the main body 3211 (such as the left or right side). Alternatively or alternatively, such as... Figure 25 and Figure 26As shown, two second windows 3217 can be provided, located on opposite sides of the main body 3211 (i.e., the left and right sides). Correspondingly, each of the two second windows 3217 can be provided with a corresponding second sealing member, and the two second sealing members can be made of the same material or different materials. For example, one of the second sealing members can be a second window fabric 3217a, such as a breathable mesh fabric; while the other sealing member can be a side door 3217b (when the box 3210 is placed on a vehicle seat, the side door 3217b can be located on the side closer to the door), wherein the side door 3217b can be covered with the same material as the seat fabric of the main body 3211. It should be noted that this disclosure is not limited to the above embodiment; the positions of the second sealing members on both sides of the main body 3211 can be interchanged, and they can be made of the same material.
[0364] Furthermore, the enclosure 3210 can also incorporate anti-collision material. This material can have a certain thickness and can be installed on either side of the main body 3211 of the enclosure 3210 to enhance the pet's safety within the enclosure 3210. In a specific example, such as... Figure 25 and Figure 27 As shown, the anti-collision material can be disposed in the side door 3217b, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. The anti-collision material can also be disposed on each side of the body 3211, or on two opposite sides of the body 3211 (e.g., the side near the door and its opposite side). Specifically, the anti-collision material can be a buffer body, and the buffer body can be made of foam, plastic, or elastomer. The specific material can be similar to that in the aforementioned embodiments, and therefore will not be described again. In addition, the buffer body can be constructed as a separately molded buffer block, and then covered and fixed (e.g., sewn) in the seat fabric at the side door 3217b, or sewn into a cloth bag and detachably fixed to the side door 3217b by hook and loop fasteners or snap fasteners. By providing such an anti-collision material, a better cushioning effect can be provided for the pet in the enclosure when the vehicle is involved in an accidental collision, especially when its side is impacted, thereby better protecting the pet.
[0365] refer to Figure 28 and Figure 29 , Figure 28 and Figure 29 Show Figure 25 The folding process of the box 3210 and its body 3211 shown.
[0366] Combination Figure 25 , Figures 27 to 29As can be seen, when the box body 3210 needs to be folded, the user can first separate the main body 3211 of the box body 3210 from the bottom support member 3212. By operating the second connecting components (i.e., the detachably connected third connecting member 32118 and fourth connecting member 32119) provided on a part of the upper support member 32112 and the corresponding part of the side support member 32111, a part on each side of the upper support member 32112 is separated from the corresponding side support member 32111. At this time, the other part is fixedly connected to the side support member 32111 (i.e., cannot be separated). Further, as... Figure 28 As shown, the second sealing piece (i.e., the second curtain 3217a and the side door 3217b) set in the second window 3217 can be opened to the side, so that the area of the connection part between the upper support 32112 and the side support 32111 is smaller, making it easier to fold and more conducive to the upper support 32112 being able to fold relative to the side support 32111 in different postures.
[0367] More specifically, combined Figure 27 and Figure 28 As shown, when the third connector 32118 and the fourth connector 32119 are separated, the second sheet-like member 32112b of the upper support member 32112 is completely separated from the side support member 32111 (i.e., the first sub-support member 32111a and the second sub-support member 32111b), and a portion of the first sheet-like member 32112a and a portion of the third sheet-like member 32112c are separated from the side support member 32111. Then, the second windows 3217 on both sides of the body 3211 are opened, i.e., as shown... Figure 28 When the second curtain 3217a and the side door 3217b shown are opened to the side, the portion of the upper support 32112 that is separated from the side support 32111 is kept connected to the other parts of the body by connecting strips at its four corners. These connecting strips are the portion between the side of the upper support 32112 and the edge of the second window 3217. Next, the upper support member 32112, which is separated from the side support member 32111, can be pulled between the first sub-support member 32111a and the second sub-support member 32111b of the side support member 32111. This allows the second sheet-like member 32112b (i.e., the top surface of the body 3211) of the upper support member 32112 to be placed parallel to the first sub-support member 32111a and the second sub-support member 32111b of the side support member 32111. Furthermore, the second sealing members on both sides of the upper support member 32112 can be folded inward (laterally folded) and stacked on the folded second sheet-like member 32112b to minimize the volume of the upper support member 32112 when folded. Please refer to the structure after folding. Figure 28 .
[0368] Further reference Figure 29Alternatively, the bottom support 3212 and the pad 3201 disposed in the bottom support 3212 can be placed in the folded body 3211 (for example, between the first sub-support 32111a and the second sub-support 32111b), and then the first sub-support 32111a and the second sub-support 32111b can be brought closer to each other, thereby minimizing the folded volume of the entire box 3210.
[0369] In this disclosure, by providing two second connecting components on the main body 3211 and a detachable connecting structure, such as four zipper structures, at the second window 3217, partial separation and relative folding of the various parts of the main body 3211 can be achieved. This not only facilitates connection and disassembly and makes storage convenient, but also results in a smaller volume for the folded case 3210, thereby reducing transportation costs. Furthermore, the case 3210 of this disclosure has a smaller number of zipper structures, reducing costs, and since each part is always partially connected and cannot be completely disassembled, it avoids the problem of the product becoming unusable due to the loss of a part after complete disassembly, ensuring normal use and durability of the product.
[0370] It should be noted that the terms "front", "rear", "left" and "right" in the above embodiments refer to the direction of the housings 3110 and 3210 when they are placed on a vehicle seat or other mobile device. For example, "front" refers to the forward direction of the vehicle or mobile device, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0371] refer to Figure 30 , Figure 30 A perspective view of a vehicle mounted on a vehicle seat according to the second aspect of this disclosure is shown. For ease of explanation, the installation process of the vehicle and the vehicle seat is described below using the housing 3110 as an example, but it should be understood that the same process applies to the housing 3210 of the above embodiment.
[0372] like Figure 30 As shown, the carrier's housing 3110 can also be secured to the vehicle using a fixing strap assembly 3300. Specifically, the fixing strap assembly 3300 includes a restraint strap assembly 3310 and an extension member 3320. The restraint strap assembly 3310 has a first connecting end 3312 and at least one second connecting end, which can be connected to each of the second connecting ends (not shown) via one or more restraint straps 3311 (also referred to as "straps"), wherein the second connecting ends are provided with connectors for detachably connecting to corresponding connectors on the vehicle seat. In one example, the restraint strap 3311 can be an elastic webbing. In this embodiment, the restraint strap assembly 3310 has two second connecting ends ( Figure 30The first connecting end 3312 is partially obscured by the housing 3110 (not shown), and the two second connecting ends are connected by a single restraint strap 3311. Optionally, the first connecting end 3312 is provided with a hole 3314 for the restraint strap 3311 to pass through, and the hole 3314 slides with the restraint strap 3311 to make the position of the first connecting end 3312 on the restraint strap 3311 adjustable. Optionally, two connecting portions 31121 are respectively provided on the outer periphery of both sides of the bottom support member 3112 of the housing 3110 in this embodiment. The restraint strap 3311 of the restraint strap assembly 3310 (i.e., the strap segments of the restraint strap 3311 on both sides of the first connecting end 3312) passes through and is fixed to the two connecting portions 31121 on the same side, and the second connecting ends located at both ends of the restraint strap 3311 (one end of each of the two strap segments) are connected to the corresponding connectors on the vehicle seat, such as ISOFIX interfaces, through connectors.
[0373] The extension component 3320 includes an extension strap 3321 (also referred to as a "strap body"), an adjustment section 3322, and a third connecting end 3323 and a fourth connecting end 3324 located at both ends of the extension strap 3321. The third connecting end 3323 can be detachably connected to the first connecting end 3312 of the restraint strap assembly 3310. The fourth connecting end 3324 is provided with a connecting device that mates with a corresponding connection structure in the vehicle, such as a buckle, hook, or a LATCH fastener. The adjustment section 3322 is provided on the extension strap 3321 for adjusting the available length of the extension strap 3321 between the third connecting end 3323 and the fourth connecting end 3324. In one example, the extension strap may be webbing.
[0374] When it is necessary to secure the vehicle to the vehicle seat, such as Figure 30 As shown in the assembly diagram, after the vehicle body 3110 is placed on the vehicle seat, one end of the fixing strap assembly 3300 (e.g., the fourth connecting end 3324 of the extension member 3320) is connected to the corresponding interface of the vehicle seat (e.g., the Top Tether interface) via a connecting device, while the other end of the fixing strap assembly 3300 (e.g., the second connecting end of the restraint strap assembly 3310) passes through the handle 3115 provided on the top side of the body 3110, goes around the front side of the body 3110, and connects to another corresponding interface of the vehicle seat (e.g., the ISOFIX interface or the LATCH interface) via the bottom of the body 3110, thereby further restricting the lateral sliding and tilting of the vehicle body 3110, so as to more stably fix the vehicle.
[0375] also, Figure 31 and Figure 32 The bottom support 3112 according to an embodiment of the second aspect of this disclosure is shown.
[0376] Reference Figures 30 to 32As can be seen, a guide mechanism 31122 can also be provided at the connecting portion 31121 of the bottom support member 3112 for guiding the constraint strap 3311 of the fixing strap assembly 3300. The constraint strap 3311 of the fixing strap assembly 3300 passes through the corresponding guide mechanism 31122 and engages with multiple positions of the vehicle (e.g., the box 3110 in this embodiment) to more effectively prevent the box 3110 from sliding left and right on the vehicle seat. In this embodiment, four guide mechanisms 31122 can be provided, respectively located at the connecting portions 31121 on both sides of the bottom support member 3112. In one example, the guide mechanism 31122 can be a clamp, locking member, etc., for passing through and fixing the constraint strap 3311 thereon.
[0377] In one embodiment, two grooves 31123 extending along the width direction (first direction D31) of the housing 3110 may be provided below the bottom support 3112. The two grooves 31123 are spaced apart by a predetermined distance along the length direction (second direction D32) of the housing 3110. The cross-section of the grooves 31123 may be rectangular, semi-circular, or a combination of rectangular and semi-circular shapes (e.g., Figure 31 As shown), but this disclosure is not limited thereto; the cross-section of the groove 31123 may also have other single shapes or combinations of multiple shapes. Furthermore, a locking portion 31124 may be provided below the bottom support 3112 for locking the vehicle (e.g., the housing 3110 in this embodiment) to a fixing device that cooperates with the vehicle, or locking the vehicle to other moving devices. Specifically, as... Figure 31 and Figure 32 Four engaging portions 31124 may be provided, symmetrically arranged in the grooves 31123 along the first direction D31 and the second direction D32, respectively. For example, the engaging portions 31124 may have hooks, levers, etc., for cooperating with related fixing devices on the fixing base assembly or the moving device, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0378] refer to Figure 33 and Figure 34 , Figure 33 and Figure 34 Show respectively Figure 32 The exploded perspective view of the bottom support member 3112 of the box 3110 shown, wherein Figure 33 An exploded perspective view is shown, taken from above the bottom support 3112, and Figure 34 An exploded perspective view is shown, taken from below the bottom support 3112.
[0379] like Figure 33 and Figure 34As shown, the bottom support 3112 includes a base housing 31125, a fixing bracket 31126, and a support plate 31127. The base housing 31125 is connected to the support plate 31127 to form the appearance of the bottom support 3112. In other words, the upper surface 31127a of the support plate 31127 forms the upper surface of the bottom support 3112 and is located within the accommodating space formed by the body 3111 and the bottom support 3112, while the base housing 31125 forms the bottom of the box 3110, that is, its lower surface 31125b forms the bottom surface of the box 3110.
[0380] Further integration Figures 32 to 34 Used to guide constraint band 3311 (see Figure 25 The four guide mechanisms 31122 can be disposed on the base housing 31125, for example, symmetrically disposed in pairs on the bottom of the bottom support 3112, more specifically on the lower surface 31125b of the base housing 31125. The guide mechanisms 31122 can be formed separately and fixed to the base housing 31125 by fasteners, or they can be integrally formed with the base housing 31125.
[0381] like Figure 32 and Figure 33 As shown, the fixing bracket 31126 is disposed between the base housing 31125 and the support plate 31127, for example, fixed between the upper surface 31125a of the base housing 31125 and the lower surface 31127b of the support plate 31127, i.e., inside the bottom support member 3112. Specifically, the fixing bracket 31126 may include a locking member 31126a and a fixing seat 31126b. At least a portion of the locking member 31126a is exposed outside the bottom support member 3112 through the locking seam 31125d on the base housing 31125 (i.e., visible from the bottom of the bottom support member 3112) to form a locking portion 31124 (see See Figure 31 and Figure 32 This refers to the relevant fixing device used to lock the carrier to the fixed base assembly (not shown) or the moving device. In one example, the fixed bracket includes two rod-shaped engaging members 31126a, which are symmetrically arranged and extend along the length direction (second direction D32) of the housing 3110, and correspondingly, four engaging slots 31125d are formed on the base housing 31125 to form four engaging portions 31124 at the bottom of the bottom support 3112 (see...). Figure 31Optionally, a connecting rod 31126c is provided between the corresponding ends of the two engaging members 31126a to form a quadrilateral structure, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure. Four fixing seats 31126b are respectively provided at both ends of the two engaging members 31126a to fix the engaging members 31126a between the base housing 31125 and the support plate 31127. Specifically, when the engaging members 31126a are fixed, each fixing seat 31126b is located in the space formed by one of the first recesses 31125c in the base housing 31125 and a corresponding second recess 31127c provided on the support plate 31127, and is fixedly connected by, for example, screws.
[0382] refer to Figure 35 and Figure 36 , Figure 35 and Figure 36 A perspective view and a bottom view of a bottom support 3412 according to another embodiment of the second aspect of this disclosure are shown, respectively, in which another engaging structure of the bottom support 3412 is shown.
[0383] like Figure 35 and Figure 36 As shown, in another embodiment, a bracket assembly 3413 may be provided on the bottom support 3412 for mounting the housing 3410 of the vehicle to a fixing assembly (not shown) or a related fixing device on the moving device. The bracket assembly 3413 includes a locking member 34131 that engages with a corresponding locking structure provided on the moving device. In one example, the locking member 34131 may be an annular structure, spaced apart from the bottom (i.e., bottom surface) of the bottom support 3412. The center of the locking member 34131 approximately corresponds to the center of the housing 3410 in both the width direction (first direction D33) and the length direction (second direction D34) of the housing 3410. The bracket assembly 3413 may also include four first connecting brackets 34132, disposed on the locking member 34131 to connect with the bottom of the housing 3410, such that the locking member 34131 is spaced apart from the bottom support 3412. These first connecting brackets 34132 are spaced apart from each other, for example, respectively located at the four corners of the engaging member 34131, thereby providing balanced and stable support for the housing 3410. However, it should be understood that the engaging member 34131 of this disclosure is not limited to the shape described above, and the number or position of the first connecting brackets 34132 is not limited to the above. Optionally or alternatively, the engaging member 34131 can be constructed as two parallel rod-like members. Optionally or alternatively, only two first connecting brackets 34132 may be provided, and the two first connecting brackets 34132 may be diagonally arranged. In other examples, the number of first connecting brackets 34132 may also be three, five, etc.
[0384] Furthermore, a guide mechanism 34133 may be provided on the support assembly 3413 for guiding and / or restraining the constraint strap of the fixing strap assembly passing through it. Figure 36 Not shown in the image, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 30 ).like Figure 35 As shown, two guide mechanisms 34133 can be provided, and the two guide mechanisms 34133 are disposed on the bottom of the bottom support 3412. In one example, the two guide mechanisms 34133 can be respectively disposed between the engaging member 34131 and the bottom surface of the bottom support 3412. Optionally, the two guide mechanisms 34133 can be located on the centerline M1 of the width direction (first direction D33) of the housing 3410, and further, symmetrically disposed with respect to the centerline M32 of the length direction (second direction D34) of the housing 3410. With such a arrangement, the path of the restraint straps passing through the guide mechanisms 34133 is the same regardless of how the vehicle is fixed to the vehicle seat or moving device (e.g., forward or backward), thereby avoiding incorrect insertion and misuse. Specifically, the guide mechanism 34133 can be a clamp, locking member, etc., for passing through and fixing the restraint straps thereon. In addition, although not shown in the figure, it should be understood that the vehicle according to this disclosure may also be equipped with both guide mechanisms 31122 and 34133.
[0385] It should be noted that the specific structures of the guide mechanisms 31122 and 34133 can be referred to in conjunction with the following text. Figures 42 to 52 The described guide structure 433 will not be elaborated upon here, and this disclosure is not limited to this structure. Furthermore, the various embodiments of the first aspect and the various embodiments of the second aspect of this disclosure can be implemented selectively or in combination. For example, the body of the box according to any embodiment of the first aspect can be used in combination with the bottom support according to any embodiment of the second aspect, and, where there is no structural conflict, the carrier according to any embodiment of the first and second aspects can also be provided with guide mechanisms 31122 and / or 34133.
[0386] refer to Figures 37A to 37C , Figure 37A A vehicle 3500 according to a third embodiment of the second aspect of this disclosure is shown. Figure 37B and Figure 37CThe two parts of the carrier 3500 after disassembly are shown separately. Specifically, the housing 3510 of the carrier 3500 may include a body 3511 and a bottom support 3512, wherein the body 3511 is detachably fitted onto the bottom support 3512 to form a seating space for a pet. In one example, the body 3511 has an integral structure, that is, the first support member (such as a side support member) and the second support member (such as an upper support member) of the body 3511 are fixedly connected to each other or are integrally formed. Optionally, both the first and second support members of the body 3511 are made of rigid material to better maintain the shape of the housing and are not foldable. The body 3511 and the bottom support 3512 are detachably connected by at least one connecting component. For example, at least one connecting component includes a first connector 35116 and a second connector 35117 that are detachably connected to each other. The first connector 35116 is disposed on the body 3511, while the second connector 35117 is disposed on the bottom support 3512. Specifically, the first connector 35116 and the second connector 35117 are mutually cooperating zippers, but this disclosure is not limited to this. For example, they can also be mutually cooperating snap structures, sliding structures, Velcro, hooks and loops, etc., and optionally, a flexible connection method can be adopted. It should be noted that the carrier 3500 may also be provided with windows and / or curtains and / or anti-collision materials as in the foregoing embodiments, which will not be elaborated here. In another example, the body 3511 may also have a structure similar to any embodiment or combination of embodiments in the foregoing first and / or second aspects, which will not be elaborated here.
[0387] In another example, the body 3511 and the bottom support 3512 of the box 3510 can also be fixedly connected, for example, non-detachably connected, that is, the box 3510 can be an integral structure, and optionally, without affecting the overall structure of the vehicle, the box 3510 can be provided with the structure as in any of the foregoing embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
[0388] In addition, refer to Figures 37D to 37F , Figure 37D A vehicle 3600 according to a fourth embodiment of the second aspect of this disclosure is shown. Figure 37E and Figure 37F The different states of the housing 3611 after the side support 36111 is removed are shown respectively.
[0389] Specifically, the enclosure 3610 of the vehicle 3600 may include a body 3611 and a bottom support 3612, wherein the body 3611 is at least partially detachably mounted on the bottom support 3612 to form a seating space for a pet. The body 3611 includes a first support and a second support that are detachably connected to each other, for example... Figure 37DThe side support 36111 is shown as the first support member and the upper support 36112 is shown as the second support member. See also: [example shown in the original text] Figure 37D and Figure 37E The upper support member 36112 has its two ends connected to the bottom support member 3612, and the side support member 36111 is detachably connected between the upper support member 36112 and the bottom support member 3612. In a specific example, such as Figure 37D As shown, the side support 36111 may include two sub-supports, which are located on both sides of the upper support 36112 respectively, and form the two sides of the body 3611.
[0390] like Figure 37E and Figure 37F As shown, the upper support member 36112 has three interconnected sheet-like members (i.e., the first sheet-like member 36112a, the second sheet-like member 36112b, and the third sheet-like member 36112c), wherein the second sheet-like member 36112b constitutes the top surface of the body 3611 (the second sheet-like member 36112b can also be referred to as the "upper sheet-like member"), and the first sheet-like member 36112a and the third sheet-like member 36112c can be folded to form the other two sides of the body 3611 (i.e., the first sheet-like member 36112a and the third sheet-like member 36112c can also be referred to as "side sheet-like members", located between the sides formed by the two sub-support members). Optionally, the first piece 36112a and the third piece 36112c each have one end connected to the second piece 36112b, and the other end of the first piece 36112a and the third piece 36112c (i.e., the end away from the second piece 36112b) are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom support 3612.
[0391] Combination Figures 37D to 37F When the box body 3610 needs to be folded, the user only needs to remove the two side support pieces 36111. At this time, both ends of the upper support piece 36112 are still connected to the bottom support piece 3612. Then, the user can press the upper plate-like piece 36112b of the upper support piece 36112 to fold the side plate-like pieces 36112a and 36112c downwards onto the bottom support piece 3612, thereby reducing the volume of the box body 3610 when folded. Specifically, as shown... Figure 37E and Figure 37FAs shown, the upper support member 36112 can be folded over the bottom support member 3612 via multiple folds on the side plate members 36112a and 36112c. In this example, the two side plate members 36112a and 36112c of the upper support member 36112 have three folds FL1, FL2, and FL3 respectively, so that both ends of the upper support member 36112 are folded over the bottom support member 3612 in a Z-shape. Specifically, the fold FL1 can be located at or approximately at the connection (i.e., its edge) between the upper support member 36112 (specifically its side panels 36112a, 36112c) and the bottom support member 3612, the fold FL2 can be located on the side panels 36112a, 36112c, and the fold FL3 can be located at the connection (i.e., its edge) between the upper panel 36112b and the side panels 36112a, 36112c of the upper support member 36112. In one example, the upper support member 36112 and the bottom support member 3612, and / or the individual panels of the upper support member 36112, can be connected using a flexible connection, such as by connecting them together with a flexible material like fabric.
[0392] A third aspect of this disclosure also provides a vehicle 4300 that can be mounted on a vehicle seat and / or a wheeled mobility device, and a guide mechanism 433 disposed on the vehicle 4300.
[0393] Figure 38 A perspective view of a vehicle 4300 according to a first embodiment of a third aspect of this disclosure is shown. The vehicle 4300 is, for example, a box-like structure, such as a pet carrier for accommodating a pet. The vehicle 4300 includes, for example, a body 4301 and a bottom support 4308, the bottom of which is the bottom 4302 of the vehicle 4300. The bottom support 4308 is connected to the frame of a wheeled mobility device (such as the wheeled mobility device described in the first aspect above). See also... Figure 39As shown in the bottom view, the bottom 4302 of the vehicle 4300 includes four engaging members 4311, arranged in two rows and two columns. In this embodiment, the direction of the rows is consistent with the left-right direction (first direction F41, i.e., the width direction), and the direction of the columns is consistent with the front-back direction (second direction F42, i.e., the length direction). That is, the four engaging members 4311 are symmetrically arranged in the first direction F41 and the second direction F42. Two engaging members 4311 in the same row are spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction (first direction F41) and are basically in the same position in the front-back direction (second direction F42). Two engaging members 4311 in the same column are spaced apart from each other in the front-back direction (second direction F42) and are basically in the same position in the left-right direction (first direction F41). In some embodiments, the bottom 4302 of the carrier 4300 is provided with two third grooves 4430 extending in the left-right direction (first direction F41), the two third grooves 4430 being spaced apart by a predetermined distance in the front-back direction (second direction F42), and four engaging members 4311 being located in the two third grooves 4430. The bottom 4302 of the carrier 4300 has, for example, a front-back symmetrical and left-right symmetrical structure. In some embodiments, the bottom 4302 of the carrier 4300 has two parallel rods (e.g., two opposing rods of a ring structure), the two parallel rods extending in the front-back direction and passing through the two third grooves 4430 in sequence, the portions of the two rods located within the third grooves 4430 forming four engaging members 4311. Alternatively, in some alternative embodiments, the bottom 4302 of the carrier 4300 may have four independent rods, these four independent rods passing through the two third grooves 4430 respectively to form four engaging members 4311.
[0394] The main body 4301 and the bottom support 4308 can be non-detachably connected or detachably connected via a zipper or other structure. The main body 4301 may have a handle 4303, an observation window 4304, and a vent 4305 (such as the window located on the side of the enclosure as described in the first and second aspects above). The main body 4301 can be opened via a zipper structure for easy access to the pet.
[0395] See Figure 40 The vehicle 4300 can be fixed to the engaging part of the wheeled mobility device by the engaging part 4311, and after being removed from the wheeled mobility device, it can be fixed to the vehicle seat 4600 by the fixing strap assembly 4500. Figure 41 An exemplary structure of the fastening strap assembly 4500 is shown. The fastening strap assembly 4500 includes, for example, a restraint strap assembly 451 and an extension member 452.
[0396] The restraint strap assembly 451 includes, for example, a first connecting end 4511 and at least one second connecting end 4512. The first connecting end 4511 and each of the second connecting ends 4512 can be connected by multiple restraint straps, which can be elastic webbing. In this embodiment, the restraint strap assembly 451 has two second connecting ends 4512, which are connected by a single restraint strap 4513. In some embodiments, the first connecting end 4511 may have a hole 45110 through which the restraint strap passes, the hole 45110 slidingly engaging with the restraint strap 4513, allowing the position of the first connecting end 4511 on the restraint strap 4513 to be adjustable. In some embodiments, the second connecting end 4512 is, for example, an ISOFIX insert for detachable connection to an ISOFIX connector on a vehicle seat. Of course, the type of the second connecting end 4512 is not limited to an ISOFIX insert; it can be any suitable type such as a hook or buckle.
[0397] The extension component 452 includes, for example, an extension strap 4521, an adjustment part 4522, a third connecting end 4523, and a fourth connecting end 4524. The extension strap 4521 is, for example, a webbing, and the third connecting end 4523 and the fourth connecting end 4524 are respectively connected to the extension strap 4521. The third connecting end 4523 is used for detachable connection to the first connecting end 4511 of the restraint strap assembly 451. The third connecting end 4523 and the first connecting end 4511 can be, for example, any suitable structure such as a buckle or hook that cooperates with each other. The fourth connecting end 4524 is used for detachable connection to a suitable structure within the vehicle (e.g., a connection structure on the top of the vehicle seat, or a connection structure on the backrest side of the vehicle seat 4600) to secure the carrier 4300 to the vehicle seat 4600. The type of the fourth connecting end 4524 can be, for example, any suitable type such as a hook or buckle. An adjustment section 4522 is provided on the extension belt 4521 for adjusting the available length of the extension belt 4521 between the third connecting end 4523 and the fourth connecting end 4524.
[0398] In practical use, the fourth connecting end 4524 of the extension component 452 can maintain a suitable connection with the structure inside the vehicle. The connection positions of the first connecting end 4511 and the third connecting end 4523 are located in a place that is convenient for user operation, such as the top or front of the backrest of the vehicle seat 4600. In this way, the user can easily fix the vehicle 4300 to the vehicle seat 4600 or remove it from the vehicle seat 4600 by conveniently operating the connection or separation of the first connecting end 4511 and the third connecting end 4523.
[0399] See you again Figure 38 and Figure 39At least one of the bottom, sides, and top of the vehicle 4300 may be provided with at least one belt guide mechanism. The belt guide mechanism guides the webbing of the fixing belt assembly 4500, engaging the restraint straps and / or extension straps of the fixing belt assembly 4500 with multiple locations on the vehicle 4300 to effectively prevent the vehicle 4300 from sliding laterally on the vehicle seat 4600. In one example, the belt guide mechanisms 433 may be symmetrically arranged at the edge of the bottom of the vehicle, for example, four such mechanisms may be provided. Figure 31 The location of the guide mechanism 31122 shown is not limited to this, but the number and / or location of the guide mechanisms in this disclosure are not limited to this.
[0400] Figures 42 to 46 An exemplary embodiment of a guide mechanism 433 is shown. The housing 433A of the guide mechanism 433 may include a bottom housing 4331 and a top housing 4332. The bottom housing 4331 is formed, for example, from the housing of the bottom 4302 of a carrier 4300. The top housing 4332 is mounted on the bottom housing 4331, for example, by fasteners not shown in the figure. The bottom housing 4331 and the top housing 4332 define a channel 4330 through which the webbing of the fastening strap assembly 4500 (more specifically, for the restraint strap 4513) passes, the channel 4330 having a first port 43301 and a second port 43302. When the fastening strap assembly 4500 secures the carrier 4300 to the vehicle seat 4600, the restraint strap 4513 passes through the first port 43301 and the second port 43302. See also Figure 42 In this embodiment, both the first port 43301 and the second port 43302 are disposed on the front shell 4332. In some alternative embodiments, the first port 43301 and the second port 43302 are defined by the bottom shell 4331 and the front shell 4332, for example.
[0401] See Figures 43 to 45 The bottom shell 4331 is provided with at least one first rib 43311 protruding towards the top shell 4332, and the top shell 4332 is provided with at least one second rib 43312 protruding towards the bottom shell 4331. The first rib 43311 and the second rib 43312 are alternately arranged along the length of the constraint band 4513. That is, the first rib 43311 and the second rib 43312 are arranged on the sidewalls opposite to each other within the channel 4330. By reasonably setting the height of the first rib 43311 and the second rib 43312, the constraint band 4513 located between the first port 43301 and the second port 43302 bends and wraps around the top tip 433111 of the first rib 43311 and the top tip 433121 of the second rib 43312 within the channel 4330. As a result, the constraint band 4513 will be subject to the moving resistance from the first rib 43311 and the second rib 43312. In this way, when the fixing strap assembly 4500 is tightened, the restraint strap 4513 is less likely to slip relative to the carrier 4300.
[0402] See Figure 42 , Figure 44 and Figure 46 In some embodiments, the channel 4330 further has a side inlet 43303 located on the same side as the first port 43301 and the second port 43302, and the side inlet 43303 has a sloped wall 43304. By providing the side inlet 43303 and the sloped wall 43304, the constraint band 4513 can be easily slid laterally into the channel 4330.
[0403] See you again Figure 40 An exemplary embodiment of a guide mechanism 434 is also shown. This guide mechanism 434 is, for example, a C-shaped structure with an opening 4340. The guide mechanism 434 may be disposed on at least one of the bottom, side, and top of the vehicle 4300. A restraint strap 4513 may engage in the receiving space of the C-shaped structure, which restricts relative movement between the restraint strap 4513 and the vehicle 4300 in the lateral direction of the vehicle seat 4600, thereby stably securing the vehicle 4300 to the vehicle seat 4600. In some alternative embodiments, the guide mechanism 434 may be, for example, a loop or any other suitable structure, as long as it maintains the relative positional relationship between the restraint strap 4513 and the vehicle 4300. In some embodiments, the restraint strap 4513 passes over both the guide mechanism 434 and the handle 4303 at the top of the vehicle 4300.
[0404] It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the directional terms such as "front," "rear," "left," and "right" for vehicle seats in this embodiment of the present invention are based on the "front," "rear," "left," and "right" orientations of a normally driving vehicle. Furthermore, arrows B and P are used to schematically indicate the "front" and "rear" directions, and arrows L and R are used to schematically indicate the "left" and "right" directions in the figures. These directional terms are only used to make the description of the embodiments of the present invention clearer and are not intended to unduly limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0405] Figures 47 to 52A belt guide mechanism 433 according to a second embodiment of the third aspect is shown. The housing 433A of the belt guide mechanism 433 may include a bottom housing 4331 and a top housing 4332. The bottom housing 4331 is formed, for example, from the housing of the bottom 4302 of a carrier 4300. The top housing 4332 is mounted on the bottom housing 4331, for example, by fasteners not shown in the figure. The bottom housing 4331 and the top housing 4332 define a channel 4330 through which the webbing (more specifically, the restraint strap 4513) of the belt assembly 4500 passes, the channel 4330 having a first port 43301 and a second port 43302 through which the restraint strap 4513 passes. See also Figure 49 In this embodiment, the first port 43301 and the second port 43302 are both disposed on the front shell 4332. In some alternative embodiments, the first port 43301 and the second port 43302 are defined by the bottom shell 4331 and the front shell 4332, for example.
[0406] See Figure 51 and Figure 52 The guide mechanism 433 also includes a cam 4333 disposed in the channel 4330. The cam 4333 has a working position and a failure position. See also Figure 51 In the working position, cam 4333 abuts the constraint band 4513 against the face shell 4332 (side wall of channel 4330) of housing 433A, preventing the constraint band 4513 from moving relative to the belt guide mechanism 433. In some embodiments, the face shell 4332 is provided with a reinforcement 43321 located in channel 4330, which may be made of a material with a high coefficient of friction and high rigidity. When cam 4333 is in the working position, the constraint band 4513 is held between cam 4333 and reinforcement 43321. See also Figure 52 In the failure position, the cam 4333 releases its abutment against the constraint belt 4513, allowing the constraint belt 4513 to move freely relative to the belt guide mechanism 433.
[0407] See Figures 48 to 50 To facilitate changing the position of the cam 4333, the guide mechanism 433 may also include an adjustment button 4334. The adjustment button 4334 is connected to the cam 4333 to drive the cam 4333 to rotate between a working position and a failed position. In some embodiments, the cam 4333 has a hole 43330, and the adjustment button 4334 has a connecting shaft 43341. The connecting shaft 43341 is inserted into the hole 43330 and is non-rotatably engaged with the hole 43330. A fastener 43335 (see [link to fastener description]) passes through the hole 43342 of the connecting shaft 43341 and the hole 43332 of the cam 4333. Figure 50(Connection). In some embodiments, the bottom shell 4331 of the housing 433A defines a mounting cavity 4335 adjacent to the channel 4330, the adjustment button 4334 is mounted in the mounting cavity 4335, and the front shell 4332 of the housing 433A defines an operating port 43320 for operating the adjustment button 4334. The user can adjust the cam 4333 to the working position or the disabled position by rotating the adjustment button 4334 through the operating port 43320. See also Figure 49 The adjustment button 4334 has, for example, a recess 43340 to facilitate the user to apply force to the adjustment button 4334.
[0408] See Figure 49 In some embodiments, the cam 4333 has a plurality of teeth 43331 for abutting the restraint band 4513, these teeth 43331 being able to engage the restraint band 4513, making the restraint band 4513 less prone to slippage relative to the band guide mechanism 433. See also Figure 42 and Figure 44 The guide mechanism 433 can also be configured with a side inlet 43303 as described in the previous embodiment.

The top edges of the first sub-support member and the second sub-support member are formed into an arch shape and are connected to each other via the top edge of the connecting piece, so that the side support member can be detachably connected between the upper support member and the bottom support member.
[0433] In one embodiment, after the side support member is separated from the upper support member, the first sub-support member and the second sub-support member can be folded relative to each other, and the side support member changes from an unfolded state to a retracted state.
[0434] Although relative terms such as "upper" and "lower" are used in this specification to describe the relative relationship of one component to another, these terms are used only for convenience, such as according to the orientation of the examples shown in the accompanying drawings. It is understood that if the device in the diagram is flipped so that it is upside down, the component described as "upper" will become the component described as "lower." Other relative terms such as "top," "bottom," "left," and "right" also have similar meanings. When a structure is "on" another structure, it may mean that the structure is integrally formed on the other structure, or that the structure is "directly" mounted on the other structure, or that the structure is "indirectly" mounted on the other structure through another structure.
[0435] In this specification, the terms “a,” “an,” “the,” “the,” and “at least one” are used to indicate the presence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “comprising,” “including,” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended inclusion and to mean that there may be other elements / components / etc. in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.; the terms “first,” “second,” and “third,” etc., are used only as markings and are not intended to limit the number of objects.
[0436] Unless otherwise specified, all terms used herein, including technical and scientific terms, shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. It should also be understood that terms shall be interpreted as having the meaning consistent with their meaning in the relevant field context, and shall not be construed as having an idealized or overly formal meaning unless expressly defined herein.
[0437] It should be understood that although preferred embodiments have been shown and described above, this disclosure is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and various modifications and variations can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
