[0056] To facilitate understanding of this disclosure, a more complete description will now be given with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which alternative embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. However, this disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
[0057] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.
[0058] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 2 According to the first embodiment of the present disclosure, the carrier includes a baby basket 1200, a support device 1300, a fixing belt assembly 1500, and a belt guide mechanism. The fixing belt assembly 1500 passes through the belt guide mechanism, thereby fixing the baby basket 1200 on a vehicle seat 1600 without being easily shifted forward, backward, leftward, or rightward.
[0059] The baby basket 1200 includes a box body A 122. The box body A 122 defines a containing space 1210, which can be used to contain a pet. The box body A 122 can be made of foamed materials such as foamed polypropylene (EPP), foamed polyethylene (EPE), foamed ethylene (EPO), etc. Of course, the material of the box body A 122 is not limited to the above examples.
[0060] The support device 1300 includes a third support A 132 and a frame structure A 123. In some embodiments, the support device 1300 can further include a roof support A 125. The third support A 132 can be disposed below the bottom of the box body A 122 and spaced apart from the box body A 122 for the fixing belt assembly 1500 to pass therebetween. The frame structure A 123 includes a first support 1231 and two second supports 1232. The first support 1231 is substantially annular, which is combined with the box body A 122 and disposed around the peripheral wall of the box body A 122, for example, near the opening of the box body A 122. The two second supports 1232 are connected to the first support 1231 and disposed separately from each other along the longitudinal direction (D1 direction) of the box body A 122. Each second support 1232 is combined with the bottom wall and the side wall of the box body A 122, and the bottom of the second support 1232 is fixedly connected to the third support A 132 through a fixing seat (not shown in the figure). In this way, the frame structure A 123 can provide stable support for the box body A 122, thereby improving the impact resistance of the box body A 122. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 The roof support A 125 is used to support a roof (not shown in the figure). Two roof supports A 125 are pivotally connected to the two sides of the box body A 122. Specifically, the support device 1300 further includes a guide 1233, and the end of each roof support A 125 is pivoted to the guide 1233. Through the pivoting of the roof support 125, the roof can be switched between a use state and a folding state, thereby achieving the purposes of sun-shading and easy storage.
[0061] In some embodiments, the roof frame A125, the guide 1233, and the roof (not shown) can be collectively referred to as a roof assembly. The guide 1233 is provided with a connecting piece 12335, and the guide 1233 is detachably connected with the connecting seat 12311 of the first support 1231 through the connecting piece 12335, which allows the roof assembly to be detached from the box body A122 and the support device 1300 (the first support 1231).
[0062] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 2 In this embodiment, the fixing belt assembly 1500 is a three-point safety belt, which includes a shoulder belt A154 and a waist belt A156 connected with each other. The upper end of the shoulder belt A154 is connected with the top of the backrest of the vehicle seat 1600. The middle part of the shoulder belt A154 is obliquely across the first support 1231 and part of the box body A122, and the lower end of the shoulder belt A154 is detachably connected with the safety belt lock catch of the vehicle seat 1600 through a safety belt lock tongue (not shown in the figure). One end of the waist belt A156 is connected with the vehicle seat 1600, and the other end is connected with the lower end of the shoulder belt A154 through the safety belt lock tongue. Please refer to FIG. 2 , the waist belt A156 is wrapped around the outside of the two second supports 1232, so as to bind the bottom of the baby basket 1200 to the vehicle seat 1600.
[0063] In some embodiments, the fixing belt assembly 1500 can be replaced by, for example, an in-vehicle safety belt, which is also within the protection scope of the present application. When the in-vehicle safety belt is connected with the safety belt lock catch of the vehicle seat 1600 through the safety belt lock tongue, the safety belt lock tongue divides the in-vehicle safety belt into a shoulder belt and a waist belt. In this way, the fixing belt assembly 1500 can directly use the in-vehicle safety belt to bind the carrier to the vehicle seat without adding other devices as the fixing belt assembly 1500 in addition to the in-vehicle safety belt.
[0064] Please refer to FIG. 2 to FIG. 5The first strap guide mechanism of the first embodiment includes a first strap guide mechanism 1400. The first strap guide mechanism 1400 includes a cover which is substantially a long strip-shaped plate, and the middle part of which is fixed on the guide 1233 by fasteners such as screws. The first strap guide mechanism 1400 and the guide 1233 together define two passages (also referred to as first passages) 1430 for the shoulder straps A 154 to pass through. The two passages 1430 are located on the two sides of the screws respectively, and are oppositely arranged. Depending on the position of the carrier on the vehicle seat 1600, the shoulder straps A 154 from the left side or the right side can be allowed to pass through the passages 1430. For example, when the carrier is located on the left seat of the back row, the shoulder straps A 154 on the left side pass through the passages 1430 on the left side. Conversely, when the carrier is located on the right seat of the back row, the shoulder straps A 154 on the right side pass through the passages 1430 on the right side. Of course, in some embodiments, the shoulder straps A 154 on the left side can pass through the passages 1430 on the right side, and the shoulder straps A 154 on the right side can pass through the passages 1430 on the left side. See FIG. 5 The passages 1430 have first ports 14301 and second ports 14302 through which the shoulder straps A 154 pass.
[0065] In some embodiments, each passage 1430 also has a lateral entry port 14303 (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 ) which communicates with the passage 1430. By providing the lateral entry port 14303, the shoulder straps A 154 can be easily slid into the passage 1430 from the side. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first strap guide mechanism 1400 can also be directly provided on the baby basket 1200, the ceiling frame A 125, the first support 1231 or the second support 1232. It can be understood that the number of passages 1430 can also be one or more.
[0066] As FIG. 5As shown, the guide 1233 is provided with at least one first protruding rib 12331 (also referred to as "first mating member") protruding towards the first belt guide mechanism 1400. The first belt guide mechanism 1400 is provided with at least one second protruding rib 1432 (also referred to as "second mating member") protruding towards the guide 1233, the first protruding rib 12331 and the second protruding rib 1432 being alternately arranged in the extending direction of the shoulder strap A154. That is, the first protruding rib 12331 and the second protruding rib 1432 are arranged on the opposite side walls of the channel 1430. By properly setting the height of the first protruding rib 12331 and the second protruding rib 1432, the shoulder strap A154 between the first port 14301 and the second port 14302 is bent around the top end of the first protruding rib 12331 and the top end of the second protruding rib 1432 in the channel 1430, so that the shoulder strap A154 will be subjected to the moving resistance from the first protruding rib 12331 and the second protruding rib 1432. In this way, when the fastening belt assembly 1500 is tightened, the shoulder strap A154 will not easily slip relative to the carrier.
[0067] In use, the carrier is first fixed with the baby carrier 1200 to the support device 1300, and then the baby carrier 1200 and the support device 1300 are placed on the vehicle seat 1600. Then, the shoulder strap A154 of the fastening belt assembly 1500 is passed around the front side of the baby carrier 1200, and the waist strap A156 is wrapped around the outside of the two second supports 1232, and then the lower end of the shoulder strap A154 is inserted into the port (e.g. the safety belt buckle or the ISOFIX port) of the vehicle seat 1600. Finally, the shoulder strap A154 is slid into the channel 1430 from the side entry 14303 of the first belt guide mechanism 1400, so as to fix the baby carrier 1200 on the vehicle seat 1600.
[0068] Reference FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 which shows a carrier according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure, which can have a similar structure as the above-mentioned first embodiment. Specifically, the carrier comprises a baby carrier 1200, a support device 1300, a fastening belt assembly 1500 and a belt guide mechanism.
[0069] The baby carrier 1200 comprises a box body A122. The box body A122 defines a containing space 1210, which can be used to contain a pet. The box body A122 can be made of foamed materials such as foamed polypropylene (EPP), foamed polyethylene (EPE), foamed ethylene (EPO), etc. Of course, the material of the box body A122 is not limited to the above examples. As shown in the drawings, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7As shown, the enclosure A122 may also be provided with ventilation holes (not labeled in the figure), straps for securing pets, etc., but this disclosure is not limited to these, and will not be elaborated here.
[0070] The support assembly 1300 includes a third support A132 and a frame structure A123. The support assembly 1300 is attached to the housing A122. The third support A132 may be disposed at the bottom of the housing A122 and spaced a certain distance from the housing A122 for securing the strap assembly 1500 (e.g., ...). FIG. 6 The belt A 156 shown passes between the two. The frame structure A123 includes a first support 1231 and a second support 1232. The first support 1231 may be attached to the housing A122 and is arranged around the peripheral wall of the housing A122, for example, in a generally annular shape. In this embodiment, the first support 1231 may be located near the opening of the housing 122. The two ends of the second support 1232 are respectively connected to the first support 1231. Specifically, the second support 1232 may extend through the side and bottom of the housing A122, and its two ends are respectively connected to the first support 1231 on both sides of the housing A122 along its lateral direction D2 (i.e., the width direction of the housing 122A). In one example, two second supports 1232 are provided, and the two second supports 1232 are arranged separately from each other along the longitudinal direction D1 (i.e., the length direction) of the housing A122. Each second bracket 1232 is attached to the bottom wall and side wall of the housing A122, and the bottom of the second bracket 1232 is fixedly connected to the third bracket A132 via a fixing seat (not shown in the figure).
[0071] The support device 1300 may further include a canopy frame A125 for supporting the canopy (not shown). Similar to the first embodiment described above, this embodiment provides two canopy frames A125, each with its two ends located on both sides of the housing A122 (e.g., both sides of the housing A122 in the lateral direction D2), and pivotable relative to the housing A122. Specifically, the frame structure A123 also includes guides 1233, which are disposed on the first support 1231 (e.g., corresponding to the middle of both sides of the housing 122A). The two ends of each canopy frame A125 are pivotally connected to the guides 1233 to pivot relative to the housing A122 to unfold or fold the canopy. The structure and connection relationship of the guides 1233, canopy frames A125, and first support 1231 can be referred to the structure and connection relationship of the guides 1233, canopy frames A125, and first support 1231 in the first embodiment.
[0072] like FIG. 6As shown, when both of the roof frames A125 are in their substantially horizontal positions, the two roof frames A125 (or together with the guide 1233) form an annular structure around the outside of the lateral wall of the box A122, so as to avoid interfering with the opening of the box A122 to hinder the user from taking out or putting in the pet, and to ensure that the roof can completely cover the opening of the box A122.
[0073] In the present embodiment, the fixing belt assembly 1500 can include a shoulder belt A154, the upper end of which is connected to the backrest (e.g. the top thereof) of the vehicle seat 1600 or connected to the corresponding structure of the vehicle above the vehicle seat, the middle part of which is wound to the side of the box A122 of the baby basket 1200 away from the backrest, and the lower end of which is detachably connected to the vehicle seat 1600 (e.g. at the bottom of the backrest).
[0074] As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 In the present embodiment, the belt guide mechanism can include a first belt guide mechanism 1400. Specifically, the first belt guide mechanism 1400 can be arranged at the side of the box A122 away from the backrest of the vehicle seat. Alternatively, the first belt guide mechanism 1400 can be arranged at the side of the box A122 close to the backrest of the vehicle seat, and at the side of the box A122 away from the backrest of the vehicle seat, i.e. at both sides of the box A122 along the transverse direction D2 thereof.
[0075] As shown in FIG. 7 The first belt guide mechanism 1400 can be fixed to the guide 1233 by fasteners such as screws, and the first belt guide mechanism 1400 and the guide 1233 together define a passage 1430 for the shoulder belt A154 to pass through. The specific structure, connection mode and working principle of the first belt guide mechanism 1400 in the present embodiment will be described below in conjunction with FIG. 8A to FIG. 11B It should be understood that in other embodiments, the first belt guide mechanism 1400 can also be arranged on the box A122 or other structures (e.g. the roof frame A125) of the support device 1300, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0076] As shown in FIG. 6As shown, the fixing belt assembly 1500 can further include a waist belt A156, i.e., the fixing belt assembly 1500 can be a three-point safety belt. One end of the waist belt A156 is detachably connected with the vehicle seat 1600 on one side of the carrier 1200 along the longitudinal direction D1 thereof, and the other end of the waist belt A156 is fixedly connected with the vehicle seat 1600 together with the lower end of the shoulder belt A154 on the other side of the carrier 1200 along the longitudinal direction D1 thereof. In an example, the waist belt A156 can be wrapped around the outside of the second support 1232 of the support device 1300 to bind the bottom of the baby basket 1200 on the vehicle seat 1600. Alternatively, the waist belt A156 is wrapped around the outside of the second support 1232 and passes through between the box A122 and the third support A132.
[0077] In some embodiments, the fixing belt assembly 1500 can be replaced by an in-vehicle safety belt, which is also within the protection scope of the present application.
[0078] The structure, connection relationship and working principle of the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 of the present embodiment will be described below. FIG. 8A to FIG. 11B Specifically, FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B The exploded view of the guide 1233 and the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 viewed from different angles is shown. FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B The perspective view of the cam clamps 1420 of the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 in different states is shown, respectively, wherein the cover 1410 is removed to show the structure and connection relationship of the cam clamps 1420. FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B The partial perspective view of the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 in different states is shown, respectively. FIG. 11A The sectional view taken along the line E-E in FIG. 7 is shown, wherein the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 is in the first state. And FIG. 11B Another sectional view of the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 is shown, wherein the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 is in the second state.
[0079] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B The guide 1233 can include a first cover 12333, a second cover 12334, and a connecting sheet 12335 fixedly connected between the first cover 12333 and the second cover 12334. In combination with FIG. 7 and FIG. 8AAs can be seen, the first cover 12333 and the second cover 12334 are connected to each other to form an outer shell of the guide 1233 when the carrier (including the baby basket 1200 thereof) is placed on the vehicle seat. Specifically, the first cover 12333 (shown as the "outer side cover" in the figure) constitutes an outer surface of the guide 1233 away from the box body A 122, the second cover 12334 (shown as the "inner side cover" in the figure) constitutes an outer surface of the guide 1233 close to the box body A 122, and the connecting piece 12335 is fixedly connected between the first cover 12333 and the second cover 12334 and can be stretched out from the lower side of the outer shell of the guide 1233 to be detachably connected with the first support 1231, so as to fix the guide 1233 and the roof support A 125 connected therewith to the box body A 122. In an example, the two ends of the first cover 12333 are respectively pivotally connected with one end of each of the two roof supports A 125, and the second cover 12334 is located between the pivot connection points of the two roof supports A 125 and the first cover 12333 and is fixedly connected with the first cover 12333, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In another example, the two ends of the second cover 12334 can be respectively pivotally connected with one roof support A 125, and the first cover 12333 is fixedly connected between the two pivot connection points. In other examples, the first cover 12333 and the second cover 12334 are fixedly connected, and the two ends of the first cover 12333 and the two ends of the second cover 12334 can be pivotally connected with the roof support A 125.
[0080] The first belt guide mechanism 1400 can include a cover body 1410, which can be a substantially long strip-shaped plate, for example, forming an outer surface of the first belt guide mechanism 1400. In combination with FIG. 7 and FIG. 8A , the cover body 1410 is fixedly connected with the guide 1233 and constitutes a channel 1430 for the shoulder belt A 154 to pass through with the guide 1233. In the present embodiment, the cover body 1410 is fixedly connected with the first cover 12333 of the guide 1233.
[0081] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B , the cover body 1410 can be provided with a positioning column 1411 for connecting and positioning the first belt guide mechanism 1400 to the guide 1233. The positioning column 1411 protrudes from the inner side of the cover body 1410 (i.e., the side close to the box body A 122) to be connected with the first cover 12333 of the guide 1233. For example, the positioning column 1411 is accommodated in a corresponding accommodation groove 12336 provided on the first cover 12333. In an example, the positioning column 1411 is centrally provided on the cover body 1410, so that two channels 1430 are formed between the cover body 1410 and the guide 1233, and the two channels 1430 are respectively located on two sides of the positioning column 1411.
[0082] AsFIG. 8A and FIG. 8B As shown, this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the first guide mechanism 1400 further includes a cam clamp 1420, and the second mating member can be disposed on the cam clamp 1420, rather than disposed on... FIG. 5 The first belt guide mechanism 1400 is shown on the cover. The cam clamp 1420 may be disposed on other components of the first belt guide mechanism 1400, for example, on the cover 1410. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the cam clamp 1420 may be disposed on the guide 1233 (more specifically, on the first cover 12333). The cam clamp 1420 may have an elongated structure extending in the longitudinal direction D1. The cam clamp 1420 is configured to pivot, for example, relative to a support assembly of the vehicle (specifically, guide 1233 in this embodiment), thereby clamping (and restraining) a retaining strap assembly (e.g., shoulder strap A154) passing between the cam clamp 1420 and guide 1233 (or between the cam clamp 1420 and cover 1410) between them, to restrict or impede movement of the shoulder strap A154, thereby preventing the shoulder strap A154 from slipping and accidentally dislodging between the first strap guide mechanism 1400 and support assembly 1300, thus improving the firmness and stability of the vehicle secured to the vehicle seat. More specifically, at least a portion of the cam clamp 1420 is in the channel 1430 for clamping the retaining strap assembly between the wall of the channel 1430 and the cam clamp 1420.
[0083] Further integration FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B One end of the cam clamp 1420 (also referred to as the first end) is pivotally connected to the cover 1410 via a pivot (e.g., pin 1460), allowing the other end of the cam clamp 1420 (also referred to as the second end) to move closer to or further away from the guide 1233. When the other end of the cam clamp 1420 approaches and abuts against the guide 1233 (i.e., the wall of the channel 1430), the retaining strap assembly (i.e., the shoulder strap) can be held between them. When the other end of the cam clamp 1420 moves away from the guide 1233, the clamping force provided by both is released (i.e., the clamping on the retaining strap assembly is released), at which point the retaining strap assembly can slide relative to each other, allowing the user to remove the retaining strap assembly from the carrier.
[0084] Specifically, such as FIG. 8A to FIG. 9B As shown, the lower end of the cam clamp 1420 may be provided with a pivot hole 1422, which can extend through the cam clamp 1420 along its length direction (i.e., longitudinal direction D1). A cover connecting portion 1412 (e.g., ...) may be provided at a position corresponding to the pivot hole 1422 in the longitudinal direction D1 on the cover 1410. FIG. 8BAs shown, the cover connecting portion 1412 has a hole 14120 corresponding to the position of the pivot hole 1422. By sequentially inserting the pin 1460 into the cover connecting portion 1412 and the pivot hole 1422, the cam clamp 1420 is pivoted to the cover 1410.
[0085] Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the first end of the cam clamp 1420 can be pivoted to the guide 1233 by a pivot shaft (e.g., a pin), so that the other end of the cam clamp 1420 can be close to or away from the cover 1410. When the second end of the cam clamp 1420 is close to and abuts against the cover 1410 (i.e., the wall of the passage 1430), the fixing band assembly (i.e., the shoulder strap) can be clamped between them.
[0086] With reference to FIG. 7 , FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B , in the present embodiment, two cam clamps 1420 can be symmetrically arranged relative to the center line of the guide 1233. The two cam clamps 1420 respectively act in the two passages 1430 (see FIG. 7 ) on both sides of the positioning column 1411 (i.e., corresponding to the position of the receiving groove 12336, which can be combined with reference to FIG. 8A and FIG. 9B ). In an example, the two cam clamps 1420 are arranged between the two cover connecting portions 1412 on the cover 1410, and avoid the positioning column 1411 and the receiving groove 12336 (i.e., the structure of the cam clamp 1420 does not interfere with the positioning column 1411 and the receiving groove 12336). The pin 1460 can be inserted into the holes of the two cover connecting portions 1412 and the pivot holes 1422 of the two cam clamps 1420 between the two cover connecting portions 1412, so that the two cam clamps 1420 can be pivoted relative to the cover 1410.
[0087] With reference to FIG. 8A , FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B , the guide 1233 and one of the first band guide mechanisms 1400 are provided with a first cooperating member, and the other is provided with a second cooperating member. The first cooperating member and the second cooperating member can engage with each other to increase the clamping force provided to the fixing band assembly passing between them, thereby further limiting the movement thereof.
[0088] In some embodiments, the first cooperating member 12331 is arranged on the guide 1233, and the second cooperating member 1432 is correspondingly arranged on the first band guide mechanism 1400, and can be shaped to cooperate with the first cooperating member 12331.
[0089] In one specific example, the first engaging members 12331 can be at least one protruding rib or tooth protruding towards the first strap guiding mechanism 1400, and the second engaging members 1432 can be at least one protruding rib or tooth protruding towards the guiding member 1233, and both are arranged alternately in the extending direction of the shoulder strap A 154 to hinder the shoulder strap A 154 from sliding in the channel 1430.
[0090] Specifically, the first engaging members 12331 can be arranged on the first cover 12333 of the guiding member 1233, and the second engaging members 1432 can be correspondingly arranged on the cam clamps 1420 of the first strap guiding mechanism 1400. For example, the second engaging members 1432 can be arranged at the upper end of the cam clamps 1420, i.e., the end capable of approaching or moving away from the guiding member 1233.
[0091] In one example, the first engaging members 12331 and the second engaging members 1432 can be formed as a toothed structure arranged alternately in the longitudinal direction D1, i.e., the side of the channel 1430 for the shoulder strap A 154 to slide out of the channel 1430, so as to be capable of engaging with each other. Specifically, the first engaging members 12331 can be a plurality of first teeth arranged on the first cover 12333 in the longitudinal direction D1, and the second engaging members 1432 can be a plurality of second teeth arranged on the upper end of the cam clamps 1420 in the longitudinal direction D1, and the plurality of first teeth and the plurality of second teeth can engage with each other. It should be noted that the first engaging members and the second engaging members of the present disclosure are not limited to the above structure, and can also be protruding ribs arranged alternately with each other, or protrusions and recesses cooperating with each other, etc.
[0092] In one example, referring to FIG. 9A , FIG. 9B and FIG. 10A , the plurality of first engaging members 12331 are arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction D1, and each first engaging member 12331 protrudes outward from the guiding member 1233. The plurality of second engaging members 1432 are arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction D1, and each second engaging member 1432 protrudes outward from the second end of the cam clamps 1420. The plurality of first engaging members 12331 and the plurality of second engaging members 1432 are arranged alternately in the longitudinal direction D1 of the carrier and cooperate with each other, so that the shoulder strap A 154 clamped between the plurality of first engaging members 12331 and the plurality of second engaging members 1432 is in a bent shape. In this way, when the shoulder strap A 154 of the fixed strap assembly 1500 passes through the channel 1430 and is clamped by the cam clamps 1420, the cooperation of the plurality of first engaging members 1432 and the plurality of second engaging members 1432 can hinder the shoulder strap A 154 from moving in the longitudinal direction D1 within the channel 1430, thereby avoiding the shoulder strap A 154 from easily escaping from the channel 1430.
[0093] Continuing to refer to FIG. 9A , FIG. 9Band FIG. 10A The recess 1433 is formed between two adjacent second engaging members 1432. When the shoulder strap A 154 is clamped by the cam clamp, the recess 1433 can accommodate the first engaging member 12331 and the shoulder strap A 154. In addition, at least two teeth 14321 can be included on each second engaging member 1432. Of course, the structure of the first engaging member 12331 and the second engaging member 1432 of the present application is not limited thereto.
[0094] As shown in FIG. 9A , the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 can further include an operating member 1421. The operating member 1421 can be operated to switch the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 between the first state and the second state. When the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 is in the first state, it forms a clamping force on the fixing belt assembly passing therebetween together with the guide 1233. When it is necessary to release the fixing belt assembly, the operating member 1421 can be operated to switch the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 from the first state to the second state, thereby releasing the clamping force on the fixing belt assembly. More specifically, the operating member 1421 is operatively connected with the cam clamp 1420 to drive the cam clamp 1420 to pivot to release the clamping force on the fixing belt assembly.
[0095] With reference to FIG. 9A to FIG. 11B , when the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 is in the first state (see FIG. 9A , FIG. 10A , FIG. 11A ), the cam clamp 1420 (at least a portion thereof, such as the upper end) approaches or abuts against the guide 1233, and the first engaging member 12331 and the second engaging member 1432 engage with each other (in some embodiments not shown, such as the first teeth as the first engaging member 12331 and the second teeth as the second engaging member 1432 engage with each other), to clamp the fixing belt assembly passing through the channel 1430 therebetween, thereby preventing the fixing belt assembly from sliding accidentally.
[0096] When it is necessary to move or disassemble the fixing belt assembly, the user can operate the operating member 1421 to switch the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 to the second state (see FIG. 9B , FIG. 10B , FIG. 11B), at this time the cam clamping device 1420 is away from the guide 1233, the first matching part 12331 and the second matching part 1432 are disengaged from each other, thereby releasing the fixed belt assembly clamped therebetween. Optionally, the operating part 1421 can be arranged on the cam clamping device 1420, for example, extending outward (i.e. to both sides) from the cam clamping device 1420 along the longitudinal direction D1. More specifically, the operating part 1421 can be arranged at the upper end of the cam clamping device 1420, and in the shape of extending outward and upward from one side of the cam clamping device 1420, while avoiding interference with the latch 1460. When the operating part 1421 is operated, the cam clamping device 1420 can be pivoted away from the guide 1233 along with the operating part 1421, thereby releasing the clamping force on the shoulder strap A154. In a specific example, the operating part 1421 can be arranged at the upper end of the cam clamping device 1420, i.e. the end of the cam clamping device 1420 that can be close to or away from the guide 1233.
[0097] With reference to FIG. 8A and FIG. 9A , the first belt guide mechanism 1400 can further include a clamping device reset part 1440, which provides a force to bias the cam clamping device 1420 towards the guide 1233. Optionally, the clamping device reset part 1440 can be arranged between the cover 1410 and the cam clamping device 1420. In a specific example, the clamping device reset part 1440 can be a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the latch 1460 and abuts against the cover 1410 and the cam clamping device 1420 respectively, so that the cam clamping device 1420 is always biased towards the guide 1233, i.e. tends to or maintains in the clamping state. Optionally, the cam clamping device 1420 has a receiving part 1470 therein, the clamping device reset part 1440 is sleeved on the latch 1460 and placed in the receiving part 1470, and abuts against the inner surface of the receiving part 1470 and the cover 1410 respectively.
[0098] In addition, with reference to FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B , two cam clamping devices 1420 can be arranged in the present embodiment, and one operating part 1421 is arranged on each cam clamping device 1420, and the user can operate the operating part 1421 arranged on any cam clamping device 1420 as needed to release the corresponding fixed belt assembly. In an example, the two operating parts 1421 are respectively located on the sides away from each other of the two cam clamping devices 1420. In other examples, only one operating part 1421 can be arranged, and one operating part 1421 controls the two cam clamping devices 1420 arranged on both sides at the same time, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0099] The operation principle of the first belt guide mechanism 1400 will be specifically described below with reference to FIG. 11A and FIG. 11B .
[0100] As FIG. 11A andFIG. 11B As shown, when the first belt guiding mechanism 1233 is in the first state (i.e. initial state, see FIG. 11A ), the upper end of the cam clamp 1420 abuts against the first cover 12333 of the guiding member 1233, and the first engaging member 12331 and the second engaging member 1432 engage with each other to clamp the shoulder belt A 154 of the fixed belt assembly passing through the passage 1430 therebetween to prevent it from sliding accidentally. At this time, the operating member 1421 is close to the guiding member 1233.
[0101] When it is needed to move or detach the fixed belt assembly, the user can operate the operating member 1421, for example, to pull it outward (i.e. towards the cover body 1410), i.e. to pull (operate) the operating member 1421 in the direction F as shown in FIG. 10B and FIG. 11B , to switch the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 to the second state (see FIG. 11B ), at which time the upper end of the cam clamp 1420 pivots away from the guiding member 1233 with the pivot shaft (i.e. the pin 1460) as the center, and the first engaging member 12331 and the second engaging member 1432 disengage with each other, thereby releasing the shoulder belt A 154 clamped therebetween.
[0102] It can be understood that in some alternative embodiments, the cam clamp 1420 is provided on the guiding member 1233 (e.g. pivoted to the guiding member 1233), the first engaging member is provided on the cover body 1410, and the second engaging member provided on the cam clamp 1420 can engage with the first engaging member provided on the cover body 1410 of the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 to clamp the shoulder belt A 154, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0103] In addition, in other embodiments, the shoulder belt A 154 of the fixed belt assembly 1500 can pass through the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 provided on the side of the carrier away from the backrest of the vehicle seat. Correspondingly, the shoulder belt A 154 passes through the cam clamp 1420 on the side away from the ISOFIX interface and is limited thereby. However, it can be understood that the shoulder belt A 154 can also pass through the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 provided on the side of the carrier close to the backrest of the vehicle seat, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0104] In addition, in some alternative embodiments, the first engaging member can also be formed on the first belt guiding mechanism instead of the guiding member. More specifically, the cover body 1410 of the first belt guiding mechanism includes a bottom shell and a face shell, for example, and a first passage for the shoulder belt A 154 to pass through is formed between the bottom shell and the face shell. The cam clamp is correspondingly located between the bottom shell and the face shell of the cover body 1410. The cam clamp is pivoted to one of the bottom shell and the face shell of the cover body 1410, and the first engaging member is provided on the other one of the bottom shell and the face shell of the cover body 1410.
[0105] Please refer toFIG. 12 to FIG. 13 The carrier according to the third embodiment of the present disclosure is similar in structure to the carriers according to the first and second embodiments, and includes the baby basket 1200, the support device 1300, the fixing belt assembly 1500, and the belt guiding mechanism. Similar to the carriers according to the first and second embodiments, the fixing belt assembly 1500 is a three-point safety belt, which includes the shoulder belt A 154 and the waist belt A 156 connected to each other. The main difference is that the belt guiding mechanism includes a second belt guiding mechanism A 133 in addition to the first belt guiding mechanism 1400. The fixing belt assembly 1500 passes through the first belt guiding mechanism 1400 and the second belt guiding mechanism A 133, so that the fixing belt assembly 1500 has multiple connection points with the support device 1300, thereby better fixing the baby basket 1200 on the vehicle seat 1600 without easily sliding forward, backward, leftward, or rightward.
[0106] Specifically, the support device 1300 according to the third embodiment includes a third support A 132 in the shape of a ring. The second belt guiding mechanism A 133 can be fixed to the third support A 132 by screws or other fasteners, and is located at the bottom of the baby basket 1200. The second belt guiding mechanism A 133 can include a bottom shell and a face shell, which together define a passage (also referred to as a second passage) for the fixing belt assembly 1500 (e.g., the waist belt A 156) to pass through. When the fixing belt assembly 1500 fixes the carrier to the vehicle seat 1600, the waist belt A 156 can pass through the second passage to be defined.
[0107] When the above carrier is used, the baby basket 1200 is first fixed to the support device 1300, and then the baby basket 1200 and the support device 1300 are placed on the vehicle seat 1600. Then, the waist belt A 156 of the fixing belt assembly 1500 is passed through the second belt guiding mechanism A 133, passes around the front side of the baby basket 1200, and is wrapped around the outside of the two second supports 1232, and then the safety belt buckle or the ISOFIX plug of the connection point of the lower end of the waist belt A 156 and the shoulder belt A 154 is inserted into the plug (e.g., the safety belt buckle or the ISOFIX plug) of the vehicle seat 1600. Finally, the shoulder belt A 154 is slid into the passage 1430 from the side entry 14303 of the first belt guiding mechanism 1400, thereby fixing the baby basket 1200 on the vehicle seat 1600.
[0108] In addition, the fixing belt assembly can also be a two-point safety belt, and the carrier is fixed in two points. For example, FIG. 13As shown, the harness assembly 1500 includes a lap belt A156. The two ends of the lap belt A156 are connected to the vehicle seat on both sides of the box, and the lap belt A156 passes around the bracket device 1300 from the side of the carrier away from the backrest of the vehicle seat (i.e. the outer side), and passes between the bottom of the box A122 and the third bracket A132, so as to be able to bind the bottom of the box A122 to the vehicle seat. Furthermore, the carrier can also be fixed by a three-point seat belt in a two-point manner. Specifically, the harness assembly 1500 can be a three-point seat belt, and includes a shoulder belt and a lap belt (for example, refer to the shoulder belt A154 and the lap belt A156 in FIG. 12 The connection mode of the lap belt in the present example is similar to the foregoing examples, and thus is not described herein again; while the shoulder belt is not used to fix the carrier. For example, the shoulder belt can be placed beside the box A122 without exerting force on the box. Alternatively or additionally, the shoulder belt can pass between the box A122 and the backrest of the vehicle seat (without exerting force on the box).
[0109] With reference to FIG. 14 to FIG. 16 , the present disclosure provides a carrier 100, such as a sleeping box, a baby basket, a pet basket, etc. FIG. 14 A perspective view of a carrier 100 according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure fixed to a vehicle seat 500 by a fixing seat assembly 200 and an auxiliary fixing device 300, FIG. 15A A perspective view of a carrier 100 according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure fixed to a vehicle seat 500 by a fixing seat assembly 200 and an auxiliary fixing device 300, FIG. 14 A perspective view of a carrier 100 according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure fixed to a vehicle seat 500 by a fixing seat assembly 200 and an auxiliary fixing device 300, FIG. 15B A perspective view of a carrier 100 according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure fixed to a vehicle seat 500 by a fixing seat assembly 200 and an auxiliary fixing device 300, FIG. 15C A perspective view of a carrier 100 according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure fixed to a vehicle seat 500 by a fixing seat assembly 200 and an auxiliary fixing device 300, FIG. 16 A perspective view of a carrier 100 according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure fixed to a vehicle seat 500 by a fixing seat assembly 200 and an auxiliary fixing device 300, FIG. 14 A top view of a fixing seat assembly 200 according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure,
[0110] As shown in FIG. 14As shown, the carrier 100 includes a box 110 and a support assembly 120. The box 110 has a bottom and a peripheral wall connected to the bottom, wherein the bottom and the peripheral wall together form a seating space for a pet, and the box 110 has an open top for the pet to enter and exit the seating space. The support assembly 120 is configured to support the box 110 and includes a first support 121, a second support 122, and a third support 123. The first support 121 is disposed around the peripheral wall of the box 110 and close to the open top of the box 110. The third support 123 is disposed at the bottom of the box 110 and spaced apart from the box 110. Specifically, the first support 121 and the third support 123 are arranged substantially parallel to each other. The second support 122 connects the first support 121 and the third support 123. Specifically, the second support 122 can be integrated into the box 110 and extends from one side of the peripheral wall of the box 110 through the bottom of the box 110 to the other side of the peripheral wall of the box 110. The two ends of the second bracket 122 are respectively connected to the first bracket 121, and the third bracket 123 is connected to the bottom end of the second bracket 122.
[0111] The vehicle 100 disclosed herein can be secured to the vehicle seat 500 via a mounting assembly 200. In one example, the vehicle 100 can be secured to the mounting assembly 200 via a bracket device 120 (e.g., a third bracket 123 disposed below the bottom of the housing 110), and then the mounting assembly 200 and the vehicle 100 disposed thereon are secured to the vehicle seat 500. Specifically, in conjunction with FIG. 14 to FIG. 16 The third support 123 includes a locking member 1203, which is an annular structure and spaced apart from the bottom of the housing 110. For example, the locking member 1203 can be a ring-shaped rod or a tube, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. Optionally, the center of the locking member 1203 approximately corresponds to the center of the housing 110, that is, it is centrally located at the bottom of the housing 110 in both the longitudinal direction D1 and the transverse direction D2. The carrier 100 is detachably connected to the fixing seat assembly 200, and the carrier 100 can be removed from the fixing seat assembly 200 for independent use.
[0112] like FIG. 16 As shown, the mounting bracket assembly 200 of this disclosure may include a locking portion 210, a mounting bracket connecting device 220, and a support foot 230. The locking portion 210 is configured to connect with the carrier 100. For example, the carrier 100 can be fixed to the mounting bracket assembly 200 by engaging the locking member 1203 with the locking portion 210 of the mounting bracket assembly 200. In one example, four locking portions 210 may be symmetrically provided on the mounting bracket assembly 200, so that the support device 120 (specifically its locking member 1203) is connected to the mounting bracket assembly 200 at four engagement points, thereby enabling the carrier 100 to be more securely positioned on the mounting bracket assembly 200.
[0113] When the fixed seat assembly 200 is placed on the vehicle seat 500, the fixed seat connecting device 220 can be arranged at a side of the fixed seat assembly 200 close to the backrest of the vehicle seat 500, for connecting with the anchoring device arranged on the vehicle seat 500 correspondingly, so as to fix the fixed seat assembly 200 to the vehicle seat 500. The support leg 230 is arranged at a side of the fixed seat assembly 200 away from the backrest of the vehicle seat 500, and the support leg 230 is retractable, so that the lower end of the support leg 230 can abut against the floor of the vehicle, thereby supporting the fixed seat assembly 200 in the vehicle. In a specific example, the fixed seat connecting device 220 can be an ISOFIX plug-in, for detachably connecting with the ISOFIX interface (i.e. the anchoring device) arranged on the vehicle seat correspondingly.
[0114] Optionally, the carrier 100 can further include a handle 150. For better understanding, FIG. 14 and FIG. 15A In an example, the handle 150 can be pivotally arranged on the box body 110. For example, two ends of the handle 150 can be pivotally arranged on two sides of the box body 110 along the transverse direction D2. For example, the two ends of the handle 150 can be arranged on the first support 121, or directly connected to the box body 110 at a position close to the opening. The handle 150 can be a hard handle, i.e. made of hard material. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the handle 150 can also be a soft handle, such as a drawstring, a webbing, etc. For example, as FIG. 15B shown in the drawings, the two ends of the soft handle 150 can be arranged on two sides of the box body 110 along the longitudinal direction D1 by a magnetic buckle assembly. In addition, although not shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the two ends of the soft handle 150 can also be arranged on two sides of the box body 110 along the transverse direction D2. In another example, in combination with FIG. 14 and FIG. 15C The carrier 100 can further include a roof assembly, which includes a roof 132 covering above the box body 110 and a roof support 131 supporting the roof 132. The roof can be used to shield the accommodation space of the box body 110. The roof support 131 can be connected to the edge of the roof 132 and arranged close to the opening of the box body 110, for example, arranged above the first support 121. In this example, the handle 150 similar to the foregoing example can be arranged, and optionally or alternatively, the handle 150 can be arranged on the roof 132. Specifically, as FIG. 15C shown in the drawings, the handle 150 can be detachably or non-detachably arranged on the top side of the roof 132, wherein the handle 150 can be a hard handle or a soft handle, which is not limited in the present disclosure.
[0115] Referring back to FIG. 14 for better understanding, FIG. 14An auxiliary reference plane S is shown in FIG. 1, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction D1 of the carrier 100 and passes through the center of the carrier 100 along the longitudinal direction D1. The auxiliary reference plane S has a first side and a second side opposite to each other in the longitudinal direction D1. When the carrier 100 is fixed to the vehicle seat 500 by the fixing base assembly 200, due to the longer length of the carrier 100, the carrier 100 is fixed to the fixing base assembly 200 offset in the longitudinal direction D1 (i.e., the center axis of the carrier 100 in the longitudinal direction D1 deviates from the center axis of the fixing base assembly 200 in the longitudinal direction D1), resulting in the end of the carrier 100 away from the fixing base assembly 200 being suspended. That is, the fixing base assembly 200 is connected to one end of the carrier 100 in the longitudinal direction D1 (hereinafter referred to as the "first end"). In some embodiments, the fixing base assembly 200 can be located entirely on one side of the center axis of the carrier 100 in the longitudinal direction D1. In some embodiments, although the fixing base assembly 200 is offset relative to one side of the center axis of the carrier 100 in the longitudinal direction D1, a portion of the fixing base assembly 200 can be located on the other side of the center axis of the carrier 100 in the longitudinal direction D1.
[0116] Specifically, the fixing base assembly 200 is connected to the carrier 100 (e.g., the third bracket 123 thereof) and is located on one side (hereinafter referred to as the "first side") of the auxiliary reference plane S, for example, the side close to the vehicle door, or a majority of the fixing base assembly 200 is located on the first side of the auxiliary reference plane S, so that the end (hereinafter referred to as the "second end") of the carrier 100 located on the other side (hereinafter referred to as the "second side") of the auxiliary reference plane S is suspended. In other examples, the first side and the second side can be interchangeable, i.e., the first side can not be the side close to the vehicle door; or the distances of the first side and the second side from the vehicle door are equal, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, one end of the carrier 100 located on the first side of the auxiliary reference plane S can be referred to as the first end, and the other end located on the second side of the auxiliary reference plane S can be referred to as the second end.
[0117] For this purpose, in combination with reference to FIG. 17 to FIG. 18B The present disclosure also provides an auxiliary fixing device 300 to make the carrier 100 more stably arranged on the vehicle seat 500.
[0118] FIG. 17 For FIG. 14 Another perspective view of the carrier 100 shown in FIG. 1 fixed to the vehicle seat 500 by the fixing base assembly 200 and the auxiliary fixing device 300. FIG. 18A For FIG. 17perspective view of the fixing base assembly 200 and the auxiliary fixing device 300, and a partial enlarged view of the auxiliary fixing device 300, wherein the partial enlarged view respectively shows a first fixing member 340 of the auxiliary fixing device 300, and a second fixing member 350 engaged with the second anchoring device 510 provided on the vehicle seat 500. And FIG. 18B For FIG. 18A the perspective view of the second fixing member 350 of the auxiliary fixing device 300 in another state (i.e., a state of being separated from the second anchoring device 510).
[0119] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B the auxiliary fixing device 300 includes a fixing belt 310, a first connecting end 320 and a second connecting end 330, wherein the first connecting end 320 and the second connecting end 330 are respectively located at two ends of the fixing belt 310. In an example, in combination with reference to FIG. 17 , the auxiliary fixing device 300 is at least partially located at the other end of the carrier 100 away from the fixing base assembly 200 in the longitudinal direction D1. When the carrier 100 is placed on the vehicle seat 500, the first connecting end 320 and the second connecting end 330 can be respectively connected to two different anchoring points, for example, the two anchoring points can be respectively located above and below the carrier 100, so that the fixing belt 310 is wound from above the carrier 100 to below the carrier 100 (for example, at or below the bottom of the box body 110). That is, at least a part of the fixing belt 310 is located on the side of the carrier 100 away from the backrest of the vehicle seat 500, so as to fix (such as bind) the carrier 100 to the vehicle seat 500. Specifically, in combination with FIG. 17 and FIG. 18A , at least a part of the fixing belt 310 is wound from the side of the third bracket 123 away from the box body 110 to below the carrier 100. In an example, the fixing belt 310 can be a fixing woven belt or a fixing rope, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. It should be noted that the "above" and "below" described herein can refer to the "above" and "below" shown in FIG. 17 , and the "above" and "below" are not limited to the "above" and "below" of a certain component (for example, the carrier) in the longitudinal direction D1.
[0120] In some embodiments, the auxiliary fixing device 300 can be replaced by a vehicle safety belt, which is also within the protection scope of the present application. The shoulder strap of the vehicle safety belt can serve as the fixing belt 310.
[0121] In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18AAs shown, the first connecting end 320 of the auxiliary fixing device 300 is provided with a first fixing member 340, and is connected to a first anchoring point (not shown in the figure) on the vehicle through the first fixing member 340. Specifically, the first anchoring point can be located on the vehicle seat 500, for example, the upper side or the rear side of the backrest of the vehicle seat 500. In some embodiments, for example, when the first anchoring point is located on the rear side of the backrest, the position of the first anchoring point can be lower than the top surface of the vehicle 100. Alternatively or additionally, the first anchoring point can also be located at a related anchoring position above the vehicle seat 500 (for example, the inner wall of the vehicle cabin). More specifically, in combination with FIG. 14 and FIG. 17 As shown, the first anchoring point is located on the first side of the auxiliary reference plane S. For example, the first fixing member 340 can be a Tether hook, and the first anchoring point can be correspondingly provided with a first anchoring device (not shown) matched with the first fixing member 340, for example, a Tether interface or a connecting rod. It should be understood that the first fixing member 340 and the corresponding anchoring device of the present disclosure are not limited to the above structure, for example, can also form a hook and loop, a buckle and the like engagement structure.
[0122] Alternatively or additionally, the second connecting end 330 of the auxiliary fixing device 300 can be connected to a second anchoring point P2. In an example, as shown in FIG. 18A As shown, the second connecting end 330 can be provided with a second fixing member 350, and is connected to the second anchoring point P2 through the second fixing member 350. Specifically, the second anchoring point P2 can be located on the vehicle seat 500, for example, near the connection between the backrest and the seat portion of the vehicle seat 500. For example, in the present embodiment, the second fixing member 350 can be a Tether hook or a clasp, and the second anchoring point P2 can be correspondingly provided with a second anchoring device 510, for example, a Tether interface or a clamping rod. In some embodiments, the second anchoring point P2 can be a vehicle safety belt interface or an ISOFIX interface, and the second fixing member 350 is correspondingly matched with the structure of the second anchoring point P2, for example, a vehicle safety belt lock tongue or an ISOFIX plug. Alternatively, in the longitudinal direction D1 of the vehicle 100, the second anchoring point P2 is located on the opposite side of the first anchoring point, that is, the second anchoring point P2 is located on the second side of the auxiliary reference plane S.
[0123] Specifically, taking the arrangement position of the vehicle 100 shown in FIG. 17 As an example, the fixed seat assembly 200 can be connected to the vehicle 100 and located on the first side of the auxiliary reference plane S. The projections of the first anchoring point and the second anchoring point P2 on the horizontal plane (that is, the plane parallel to the vehicle chassis) can be located on the first side and the second side of the auxiliary reference plane S, respectively. For example, taking FIG. 17From the perspective of the vehicle, the mounting bracket 200 is positioned below the vehicle 100 and offset to the first side of the auxiliary reference plane S (shown as offset to the left in the figure), for example, near the door side. The first anchor point is located on the same first side as the mounting bracket 200 relative to the auxiliary reference plane S (e.g., shown as the upper left of the vehicle 100 in the figure), while the second anchor point P2 is located on the second side of the auxiliary reference plane S (e.g., shown as the lower right of the vehicle 100 in the figure).
[0124] Furthermore, in another example, the first anchor point can also be located on the second side of the auxiliary reference plane S, such as the side away from the door, on the same side as the second anchor point P2. In yet another example, the first anchor point can also be located on the auxiliary reference plane S.
[0125] Optionally, such as FIG. 18A As shown, the auxiliary securing device 300 may further include a length adjuster 360. The length adjuster 360 can be disposed on the securing strap 310 for adjusting the length of the securing strap 310. By providing the length adjuster 360, when it is necessary to wrap the securing strap 310 around the vehicle 100, the securing strap 310 can be adjusted to a longer length first, thereby facilitating wrapping and securing. After securing, the securing strap 310 can be tightened by the length adjuster 360 to make the vehicle 100 more securely secured to the vehicle seat 500.
[0126] When the vehicle 100 is secured to the vehicle seat 500 via, for example, the mounting bracket 200, the first connecting end 320 of the auxiliary securing device 300 is connected to the first anchor point, and the securing strap 310 is routed from above the vehicle 100, from the side of the vehicle 100 away from the backrest of the vehicle seat 500, to the underside of the vehicle 100, so that the second connecting end 330 is connected to the second anchor point P2. Specifically, the securing strap 310 routed to the underside of the vehicle 100 can pass under the housing 110 (for example, between the third bracket 123 of the vehicle 100 and the housing 110), or pass under the third bracket 123, and then connect to the second anchor point P2.
[0127] Furthermore, by setting the first anchor point and the second anchor point P2 on the vehicle seat 500 instead of the vehicle 100, the vehicle 100 can be more stably fixed to the vehicle seat 500. It should be noted that the projections of the first anchor point and the second anchor point on the horizontal plane can fall within or outside the projection of the vehicle 100 on the horizontal plane.
[0128] Furthermore, a belt guide mechanism can be provided on the vehicle 100, for example, on the support assembly 120 of the vehicle 100 (such as the first support 121 and / or the third support 123), such that the fixing belt 310 passes through the belt guide mechanism and connects to the second anchor point P2, which will be discussed in detail below. FIG. 22 to FIG. 23 The description is as follows. In addition, the fixing strap 310 may be wrapped around and connected to the support device 120 (e.g., the third support 123) of the carrier 100, and then continue to extend and connect to the second anchor point P2 to increase the stability of the fixation.
[0129] By using this auxiliary fixing device 300, the vehicle 100 can be further secured by binding the end of the vehicle 100 that is not in contact with the fixing seat assembly 200. This improves the stability of the vehicle 100 to the fixing seat assembly 200 and the vehicle seat 500, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the end not in contact with the fixing seat assembly 200 or significantly reducing the amount of deformation during a forward impact, thus further ensuring the safety of the carrier (i.e., the pet) inside the vehicle 100. Simultaneously, this auxiliary fixing device 300 can be secured using the vehicle's own anchoring devices (i.e., anchor points), making the binding more reliable and strong, and also facilitating user operation and improving user satisfaction.
[0130] The following will refer to FIG. 17 , FIG. 19A to FIG. 19C The specific description details the different routing methods used by the auxiliary fixing device 300 to fix the carrier 100.
[0131] like FIG. 17 As shown, in one example, when it is necessary to secure the vehicle 100 (which does not have a handle) to the vehicle seat 500, the first connecting end 320 of the auxiliary securing device 300 is connected to a first anchoring point above the vehicle seat 500, and the securing strap 310 is routed from above the vehicle 100, from the side of the vehicle 100 away from the backrest of the vehicle seat 500, to the bottom of the vehicle 100. The second connecting end 330 of the auxiliary securing device 300 is connected to a second anchoring point P2 on the vehicle seat 500.
[0132] like FIG. 19A to FIG. 19C As shown, a handle 150 may be provided on the vehicle 100, for example, a handle 150 provided on the box 110 (see...). FIG. 19A and FIG. 19B ), or a handle 150 mounted on the roof 132 of the vehicle 100 (see FIG. 19C ).
[0133] like FIG. 19AAs shown, the two ends of the rigid handle 150 are connected to both sides of the box body 110 in the lateral direction D2. In one embodiment, the first connecting end 320 of the auxiliary fixing device 300 is connected to the first anchor point, and the fixing strap 310 can be wrapped around the outside of the handle 150 (i.e., the fixing strap 310 does not pass through the handle 150 in a vertical state; more specifically, the fixing strap 310 passes around the outside of the handle 150 from the top of the vehicle 100, from the side of the vehicle 100 away from the back of the vehicle seat 500), and around to the bottom of the box body 110, so that the second connecting end 330 is connected to the second anchor point P2. The first anchor point can be located on the first side of the auxiliary reference plane S, and the second anchor point P2 is located on the second side of the auxiliary reference plane S; of course, this application is not limited to this, the first anchor point can also be located on the auxiliary reference plane S, or on the second side of the auxiliary reference plane S.
[0134] like FIG. 19B As shown, in another embodiment, the first connecting end 320 of the auxiliary fixing device 300 is connected to the first anchoring point above the vehicle 100. The fixing strap 310 can also pass through the rigid handle 150 and the box 110 from above the vehicle 100 (i.e., the fixing strap 310 passes through the handle 150 in a vertical position), and then wrap around the side of the vehicle 100 away from the back of the vehicle seat 500 to the bottom of the box 110. The first anchoring point can be located on the first side of the auxiliary reference plane S, and the second anchoring point P2 is located on the second side of the auxiliary reference plane S; of course, this application is not limited to this, the first anchoring point can also be located on the auxiliary reference plane S, or on the second side of the auxiliary reference plane S.
[0135] Furthermore, such as FIG. 19C As shown, in another embodiment, a handle 150 is provided on the canopy 132 of the vehicle 100 (e.g., the top side of the canopy 132). The first connecting end 320 of the auxiliary fixing device 300 is connected to a first anchoring point above the vehicle 100. The fixing strap 310 can extend downward from above the vehicle 100, pass through the handle 150 (more specifically, pass between the handle 150 and the canopy 132), and then wrap around from the side of the vehicle 100 away from the backrest of the vehicle seat 500 to the bottom of the housing 110, such that the second connecting end 330 is connected to the second anchoring point P2. Of course, the above embodiments are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the way the fixing strap is wrapped in this disclosure. The first anchoring point may be located on the auxiliary reference plane S, and the second anchoring point P2 may be located on the second side of the auxiliary reference plane S; however, this application is not limited to this, and the first anchoring point may also be located on the first side of the auxiliary reference plane S or on the second side of the auxiliary reference plane S.
[0136] FIG. 20 This is a perspective view of a vehicle 100 fixed to a vehicle seat 500 by a fixing seat assembly 200 and an auxiliary fixing device 300, according to the fifth embodiment of this disclosure.FIG. 21A for FIG. 20 The diagram shows a perspective view of the mounting bracket assembly 200 and the auxiliary fixing device 300, as well as a partially enlarged view of the auxiliary fixing device 300. FIG. 21B for FIG. 21A The second fastener 350 of the auxiliary fastening device 300 shown is viewed from another perspective to illustrate the second anchoring device 510 disposed on the vehicle seat 500. For ease of understanding, similar structures in some embodiments of this disclosure are indicated by the same reference numerals, such as "vehicle 100", "fixed seat assembly 200", "vehicle seat 500", etc.
[0137] like FIG. 20 and FIG. 21A As shown, the auxiliary fixing device 300 of this embodiment has a similar structure to the auxiliary fixing device 300 of the fourth embodiment described above, that is, it includes a fixing strap 310 and a first connecting end 320 and a second connecting end 330 located at both ends of the fixing strap 310. The first connecting end 320A is connected to a first anchoring point (not shown) above the vehicle seat 500, and the second connecting end 330 is connected to a second anchoring point P2 below the carrier 100. The fixing strap 310 extends from above the carrier 100, passes through the side of the carrier 100 away from the backrest of the vehicle seat 500, and wraps around to the bottom of the housing 110. In one example, the first connecting end 320 may be provided with a first fixing member 340, and the second connecting end 330 may be provided with a second fixing member 350.
[0138] like FIG. 21A and FIG. 21B As shown, unlike the fourth embodiment described above, the second fastener 350 in this embodiment can be a LATCH fastener to connect with the corresponding second anchoring device 510 on the vehicle. The second anchoring device is, for example, another ISOFIX interface besides the ISOFIX interface connected to the mounting bracket assembly 200. In other words, when the auxiliary fastener 300 is installed on a vehicle seat near the vehicle window (e.g., the right-side vehicle seat), the mounting bracket assembly 200 can be installed to the ISOFIX interface on that side, and the second fastener 350 can then connect to the ISOFIX interface on the middle or left-side vehicle seat.
[0139] Reference FIG. 22 and FIG. 23 The carrier 100 may be provided with at least one guide mechanism for the fixing strap 310 of the auxiliary fixing device 300 to pass through, thereby increasing the number of connection points between the auxiliary fixing device 300 and the carrier 100, and thus better securing the carrier 100. In this embodiment, at least one guide structure may include a first guide mechanism 160 and / or a second guide structure 170, as detailed in the following description.
[0140] FIG. 22 This is a perspective view of a vehicle 100 according to the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure, which is fixed to a vehicle seat 500 by a fixing seat assembly 200 and an auxiliary fixing device 300.
[0141] like FIG. 22 As shown, the carrier 100 in this embodiment may also be provided with a first belt guide mechanism 160, through which the fixing belt 310 passes and restricts the fixing belt 310 between the first belt guide mechanism 160 and the carrier 100, thereby further limiting the movement of the fixing belt 310, thereby enhancing the firmness of binding the fixing belt 310 to the carrier 100, making it less likely for the fixing belt 310 to shift, loosen or slip off the carrier 100, and improving the stability of the carrier 100 after it is fixed. The first belt guide mechanism 160 may be located near the opening of the box 110, that is, near the upper edge of the box 110.
[0142] Specifically, the first belt guide mechanism 160 can be disposed (e.g., centrally disposed in the longitudinal direction D1) on the first bracket 121 and / or the canopy frame 131. In one example, the first belt guide mechanism 160 can be disposed on both sides of the vehicle 100, for example, two first belt guide mechanisms 160 are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the vehicle 100 in the transverse direction D2. However, it should be understood that the placement and number of the first belt guide mechanisms 160 in this disclosure are not limited to the above embodiments.
[0143] Optionally, the first belt guide mechanism 160 can be a generally elongated plate and can be fixed to at least one of the first bracket 121, the canopy frame 131, and the housing 110 by fasteners such as screws. The fixing belt 310 can be limited by the channel (also referred to as the first channel) between the first belt guide mechanism 160 and the first bracket 121 (or the canopy frame 131 or the housing 110).
[0144] Optionally, the first guide mechanism 160 has two first channels symmetrically arranged relative to the auxiliary reference plane S, i.e., the two first channels are located on a first side and a second side of the auxiliary reference plane S, respectively. When the fixing seat assembly 200 is connected to the vehicle 100 at the first side of the auxiliary reference plane S, the auxiliary fixing device 300 can pass through the first channel located on the first or second side of the auxiliary reference plane S, so that the vehicle 100 is more stably fixed to the vehicle seat 500.
[0145] In other examples, the first belt guiding mechanism 160 can also be arranged to be offset from the center of the carrier 100 along the longitudinal direction D1 toward the first side or the second side of the auxiliary reference plane S, and optionally, have two first channels arranged along the longitudinal direction. For example, at least one of the two first channels of the first belt guiding mechanism 160 can be located on the first side or the second side of the auxiliary reference plane S, or both first channels are located on the first side or the second side of the auxiliary reference plane S, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0146] In addition, other structures in the present embodiment (such as the carrier 100, the fixing seat assembly 200, the auxiliary fixing device 300, etc.) are similar to the fourth and fifth embodiments described above, and will not be described here again.
[0147] The structures and connection relationships of the first belt guiding mechanism 160, the first support 121, and the ceiling support 131 can refer to the structures and connection relationships of the first belt guiding mechanism 1400, the first support 1231, and the ceiling support A125 in the first to third embodiments, and will not be described here again. Specifically, the first belt guiding mechanism can be FIG. 5 the structure shown including convex ribs, or FIG. 8A-11B the structure shown including cam clamps.

And FIG. 30A to FIG. 30C shows the structural view of the second belt guide 170 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0163] in combination with reference FIG. 26 , FIG. 28 and FIG. 29In one example, the first strap guide 160 is substantially a long strip plate, and a middle portion thereof is fixed on the ceiling frame 131 or the first support 121 by fasteners such as screws, or is arranged on the guide 124 arranged in the middle portion of the first support 121, and the end of each ceiling frame 131 is pivotally connected to the guide 124. The first strap guide 160 and the guide 124 (or the first support 121 or the ceiling frame 131) jointly define two passages 161 (also referred to as first passages) for the shoulder strap 410 (i.e., the fixing strap) to pass through. The two passages 161 are respectively located on two sides of the screw and are oppositely arranged. According to the position of the carrier on the vehicle seat 1600, the shoulder strap 410 from the left side or the right side can be allowed to pass through, respectively.
[0164] In some embodiments, each passage 161 further has a lateral entry 1613 (see FIG. 28 ) which is in communication with the passage 161. By arranging the lateral entry 1613, the shoulder strap 410 can be easily slid into the passage 161 from the side. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first strap guide 160 can also be directly arranged on the box body 110 or the first support 121 or the ceiling frame 131. It can be understood that the number of passages 161 can also be one or more than two.
[0165] As shown in FIG. 29 , the guide 124 is provided with at least one first protruding rib 1241 which protrudes towards the first strap guide 160. The first strap guide 160 is provided with at least one second protruding rib 162 which protrudes towards the guide 124, and the first protruding rib 1241 and the second protruding rib 162 are alternately arranged in the extension direction of the shoulder strap 410. That is, the first protruding rib 1241 and the second protruding rib 162 are arranged on the opposite side walls of the passage 161. By reasonably arranging the height of the first protruding rib 1241 and the second protruding rib 162, the shoulder strap 410 located between the first port 1611 and the second port 1612 of the passage 161 is bent around the top end of the first protruding rib 1241 and the top end of the second protruding rib 162 in the passage 161, so that the shoulder strap 410 will be subjected to the movement resistance from the first protruding rib 1241 and the second protruding rib 162. In this way, when the auxiliary fixing device 400 is tightened, the shoulder strap 410 will not easily slide relative to the carrier 100.
[0166] Furthermore, with reference to FIG. 30A to FIG. 30CThe second guiding mechanism 170 includes a bottom shell 171 and a face shell 172. The bottom shell 171 can be fixed on the fixing piece of the bracket device 120 or the box 110 by, for example, screws or the like. Alternatively, the bottom shell 171 is integrally formed with the bracket device 120 or the box 110. The face shell 172 can be mounted on the bottom shell 171 by, for example, fasteners such as screws. The bottom shell 171 and the face shell 172 jointly define a passage (also referred to as a second passage) 173 for the fixing belts (e.g., the waist belt 420 and / or the shoulder belt 410) of the auxiliary fixing device 400 to pass through. The passage 173 has a first port 1731 and a second port 1732. When the carrier 100 is fixed to the vehicle seat 500 by the auxiliary fixing device 400, the fixing belts (e.g., the waist belt 420 and / or the shoulder belt 410) can pass through the first port 1731 and the second port 1732. See FIG. 30A In the present embodiment, the first port 1731 and the second port 1732 are both provided on the face shell 172. In some other embodiments, the first port 1731 and the second port 1732 can be jointly defined by, for example, the bottom shell 171 and the face shell 172.
[0167] Referring to FIG. 30A and 30B In some embodiments, the passage 173 also has a side entry 1733. The side entry 1733 simultaneously communicates the first port 1731 and the second port 1732, and the side entry 1733 has a guiding slope 1734. By providing the side entry 1733 and the guiding slope 1734, the fixing belts can be easily slid into the passage 173 from the side.
[0168] Referring to FIG. 30B and FIG. 30C The bottom shell 171 is provided with at least one third protruding rib 1711 protruding towards the face shell 172. The face shell 172 is provided with at least one fourth protruding rib 1712 protruding towards the bottom shell 171, and the third protruding rib 1711 and the fourth protruding rib 1712 are alternately arranged in the extension direction of the fixing belts. That is, the third protruding rib 1711 and the fourth protruding rib 1712 are arranged on the opposite side walls of the passage 173. By reasonably setting the height of the third protruding rib 1711 and the fourth protruding rib 1712, the fixing belts located between the first port 1731 and the second port 1732 are bent around the top ends of the third protruding rib 1711 and the fourth protruding rib 1712 in the passage 173, so that the fixing belts will be subjected to the moving resistance from the third protruding rib 1711 and the fourth protruding rib 1712. In this way, when the auxiliary fixing device 400 is tightened, the fixing belts will not easily slip relative to the carrier 100. It can be understood that if the third protruding rib 1711 is directly arranged on the fixing piece (e.g., arranged on the third bracket 123) of the bracket device 120, the bottom shell 171 can also be omitted.
