[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] As shown in Figs. Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the child safety seat comprises a base 1 and a seat body arranged on the base 1, the seat body comprising a seat 21 supporting the buttocks of a child, a backrest 22 supporting the back of the child and a headrest assembly 3 arranged on the backrest 22 to support the head of the child.

[0037] The headrest assembly 3 comprises a support member and a shell 31 arranged outside the support member.

[0038] The material strength of the support member is less than that of the shell 31. In this embodiment, the support member is a foam member and the shell 31 is a plastic member.

[0039] The support member comprises a rear support part 32 and side support parts 33, the side support parts 33 being fixedly arranged on the left and right sides of the rear support part 32 respectively, and each side of the side support part 33 extending forward from the connection with the rear support part 32 and outward of the headrest assembly 3. The side support parts 33 on the left and right sides and the rear support part 32 form a U-shaped structure with the opening facing forward, which is a head accommodating space for accommodating the head of the child. In the utility model, the outward side refers to the side away from the head accommodating space, and the inward side is opposite to the outward side and refers to the side close to the head accommodating space. In this embodiment, the rear support part 32 and the side support parts 33 on the left and right sides are integrally arranged.

[0040] The support member is provided with an energy-absorbing portion 331. When the child's head hits the energy-absorbing portion 331 during a side impact of the vehicle, the energy-absorbing portion 331 deforms or tears to absorb the impact load generated by the impact.

[0041] The energy-absorbing portion 331 is arranged at a position of the support member facing the head-receiving space. The energy-absorbing portion 331 has a structural strength lower than that of other portions of the side support portion 33 except the energy-absorbing portion 331, and has a hollow cavity between the energy-absorbing portion 331 and the inner side wall of the housing 31, which forms an energy-absorbing cavity 34. The energy-absorbing portion 331 and the energy-absorbing cavity 34 together form an energy-absorbing structure for absorbing the impact energy generated by a side impact of the vehicle.

[0042] Specifically, on one hand, when the child's head hits the side support portion 33 during a side impact of the vehicle, the impact is applied to the energy-absorbing portion 331. Since the energy-absorbing portion 331 has a relatively low structural strength, the child's head will not directly hit the hard structure to cause injury. The energy-absorbing portion 331 deforms or tears under the impact of the child's head, and absorbs part of the impact energy during the deformation or tearing of the energy-absorbing portion 331. The energy-absorbing cavity 34 is arranged to accommodate the deformation of the energy-absorbing portion 331, and gradually collapses as the space is filled by the deformation of the energy-absorbing portion 331. During this process, part of the impact energy is also absorbed, so that the impact energy is not directly transmitted to the housing 31 which has a relatively high structural strength, and the child's head will not be injured due to insufficient cushioning when hitting the relatively hard housing 31.

[0043] On the other hand, when the vehicle is subjected to a side impact and the impact load is applied to the housing 31, the energy-absorbing cavity 34 also collapses to absorb the impact energy generated by the impact, thereby reducing the impact load acting on the child and reducing the injury to the child.

[0044] Specifically, the support member is provided with a plurality of grooves on the side away from the head-receiving space. The energy-absorbing portion 331 corresponds to the positions of the grooves, and the grooves form the energy-absorbing cavity 34. The groove bottoms form the energy-absorbing portion 331. The grooves reduce the thickness of the corresponding regions of the support member, and the structural strength of the support member in the thinned regions is reduced under external force, so that the support member can be broken or deformed to cushion the external force. Moreover, this arrangement simplifies the processing technology of the headrest assembly 3 and facilitates the production and manufacturing of the headrest assembly 3.

[0045] In this embodiment, the energy-absorbing portion 331 is arranged on each side of the side support portion 33. The energy-absorbing portion 331 is located on the inner side of the side support portion 33. The grooves are formed by recessing from the outer side to the inner side of each side of the side support portion 33.

[0046] The inner side of the energy absorbing portion 331 is arc-shaped and slightly convex towards the inner side of the head accommodating space, which makes the deformation of the energy absorbing portion 331 large and increases the energy absorbing effect.

[0047] In a side impact, the middle back and middle upper part of the child's head are more likely to hit the side support portion 331, so the energy absorbing portion 331 is arranged on the middle back and middle upper part of the side support portion 33, and preferably extends rearward at least to a position flush with the front end surface of the rear support portion 32. In this way, the positions of the energy absorbing cavity 34 and the energy absorbing portion 331 correspond to the positions of the child's head hitting the side support portion 33, so that the child's head can be better protected.

[0048] The energy absorbing portion 331 is also provided with a plurality of through holes penetrating the inner and outer end surfaces thereof, which can reduce the structural strength of the energy absorbing portion 331, so that it can be deformed or torn and damaged under the impact of the child's head.

[0049] The headrest assembly 3 further comprises a cushion layer 35, which at least covers the inner side of the support member. The cushion layer 35 is made of soft material, such as cloth cover, sponge, etc., which can improve the comfort of the headrest assembly 3 in use.

[0050] When the child safety seat is installed on the stroller frame for use, the headrest assembly can further comprise a canopy assembly 36 arranged on the housing 31.

[0051] Specifically, the canopy assembly 36 comprises a canopy seat 361 and a canopy rod 362. The canopy seat 361 is fixedly arranged on the housing 31, and the canopy rod 362 is rotatably arranged on the canopy seat 361.

[0052] The canopy seat 361 is arranged on the left and right sides of the housing 31 respectively, and the canopy rod 362 has a U-shaped structure, with both ends of the canopy rod 362 rotatably connected to the corresponding canopy seat 361.

[0053] The canopy rod 362 can be provided with a plurality of rods, each of which is rotatably connected to a different position of the canopy seat 361.

[0054] Each side of the canopy seat 361 is at least partially arranged on the inner side of the housing 31, so that the part of the canopy seat 361 protruding from the outer surface of the housing 31 has a smaller structural volume, thereby not affecting the arrangement of the headrest assembly 3 on the backrest 2, and making the appearance of the headrest assembly 3 more attractive. The part of the canopy seat 361 on the inner side of the housing 31 is as close as possible to the front part of the housing 31, so as to avoid affecting the energy absorbing effect of the energy absorbing structure.

[0055] The headrest assembly 3 further comprises a main support plate 37 arranged on the backrest 22, and the support member is fixedly arranged above the main support plate 37.

[0056] Preferably, the headrest assembly 3 is arranged to be slidable up and down on the backrest 22, so that the height of the headrest assembly 3 on the backrest 22 can be adjusted according to the height of the child sitting in the child safety seat, so that the headrest assembly can better support and protect the child.

[0057] When the headrest assembly 3 is adjusted in place, the relative positions of the headrest assembly 3 and the backrest 22 are locked by the locking member 4.

[0058] In this embodiment, the locking member 4 is arranged to be slidable in the left-right direction on the left and right sides of the main support plate 37, and the left and right sides of the backrest 22 are respectively provided with a lock hole matched with the locking member 4. When the locking member 4 is inserted into the lock hole, the relative positions of the headrest assembly 3 and the backrest 22 are locked. When the locking member 4 is out of the lock hole, the headrest assembly 3 can be adjusted in position by sliding up and down relative to the backrest 22.

[0059] Embodiment 2

[0060] In this embodiment, the support member is provided with a plurality of through holes, and the structural strength of the support member at the positions corresponding to the through holes is relatively reduced, thereby forming an energy absorption portion 331. Under the action of external force, the energy absorption portion 331 deforms or breaks to buffer the external force. The rest is the same as Embodiment 1.

[0061] Embodiment 3

[0062] In this embodiment, the support member includes an energy absorption portion 331 and a non-energy absorption portion other than the energy absorption portion 331, and the material of the energy absorption portion 331 is different from that of the non-energy absorption portion, so that the structural strength of the energy absorption portion 331 is less than that of the non-energy absorption portion, so that the energy absorption portion 331 deforms or breaks to buffer the external force under the action of external force. The rest is the same as Embodiment 1.

[0063] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the present application, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present application and implement it, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
