[0137] Figure 1 A perspective view is shown of a vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 provided according to the first embodiment of the present invention installed on a seat 900. Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 Side view of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 and seat 900. Figure 3 It shows Figure 1 Rear view of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 and seat 900. Figure 4 It shows Figure 1 Front view of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 and seat 900. Figure 5 It shows Figure 4 UU sectional view. Figures 6 to 8 It shows Figure 1 Three-dimensional views of vehicle 100 and LATCH structure 300 from different perspectives. Figure 9 and Figure 10 They are shown respectively Figure 8 A modified implementation of the connecting component 35. Figure 11 and Figure 12 It shows Figure 1 The top ties 200 are shown in different perspectives in a stereoscopic view.
[0138] See Figure 1 The vehicle securing mechanism 1000 may include a vehicle 100, a top strap 200, and a LATCH structure 300. The seat 900, for example, is a vehicle seat, including a seat cushion 91, a backrest 92, and a headrest 93. In some embodiments, the headrest 93 has a insert 931 that inserts into the backrest 92 from the top.
[0139] Vehicle 100 may be, for example, but not limited to, infant vehicles (e.g., baby carriers) and pet vehicles (e.g., pet carriers, pet boxes). Figure 1 In this example, the vehicle 100 is specifically described using a pet carrier as an example. The vehicle 100 has a space for accommodating pets.
[0140] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the LATCH structure 300 includes a connector 31 that can connect to a connection point on the seat 900, such as an ISOFIX structure 94. Furthermore, the vehicle 100 is secured to the seat 900 via the LATCH structure 300 and the ISOFIX structure 94. The connection between the LATCH structure 300 and the ISOFIX structure 94 prevents the vehicle 100 from falling off the seat 900 during emergency braking. In some embodiments, the LATCH structure 300 can be detachably connected to the vehicle 100. In some embodiments, the LATCH structure is, for example, non-detachably connected to the vehicle 100.
[0141] See Figures 6 to 8 This embodiment illustrates an exemplary implementation of the LATCH structure 300, which is detachably connected to the carrier 100. Specifically, the LATCH structure 300 includes a webbing 32 connected to the connector 31, which is detachably fitted onto the carrier 100, allowing the LATCH structure 300 to be separated from the carrier 100.
[0142] See also Figures 6 to 8To facilitate the connection between the webbing 32 and the carrier 100, the webbing 32 may include a first webbing segment 321 and a second webbing segment 322. The first end of the first webbing segment 321 and the first end of the second webbing segment 322 are connected, and the first ends of the first webbing segment 321 and the second webbing segment 322 are directly or indirectly connected to the connector 31. The second ends of the first webbing segment 321 and the second webbing segment 322 are detachably connected, such that the first webbing segment 321 and the second webbing segment 322 define an annular structure (not labeled in the figure) fitted onto the carrier 100. When the second ends of the first webbing segment 321 and the second ends of the second webbing segment 322 are separated, the annular structure opens, allowing easy separation of the carrier 100 and the LATCH structure 300.
[0143] See Figure 7 In some embodiments, at least one of the first webbing segment 321 and the second webbing segment 322 may be provided with an adjuster 324. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first end of the first webbing segment 321 is connected to the second webbing segment 322 via the adjuster 324, and the first end of the second webbing segment 322 is connected to the connector 31. By providing the adjuster 324, the lengths of the first webbing segment 321 and / or the second webbing segment 322 can be changed, thereby adjusting the size of the annular structure defined by the first webbing segment 321 and the second webbing segment 322, so that the annular structure can be adapted to carriers 100 of different sizes.
[0144] See Figure 6 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the second ends of the first webbing segment 321 and the second ends of the second webbing segment 322 are detachably connected by a connecting assembly 35. In some embodiments, the connecting assembly 35 is, for example, a magnetic snap mechanism. More specifically, the magnetic snap mechanism includes, for example, a first connector 351 and a second connector 352, where the first connector 351 is, for example, a male snap and the second connector 352 is, for example, a female snap. The first connector 351 is connected to one of the first webbing segment 321 and the second webbing segment 322, and the second connector 352 is connected to the other of the first webbing segment 321 and the second webbing segment 322. The first connector 351 has a protruding structure 3511, and the second connector 352 includes a cavity 3520 for engaging with the protruding structure 3511 of the first connector 351. The protruding structure 3511 is provided with a groove 3510, and the second connecting member 352 further includes a locking mechanism 3521, which can engage with the groove 3510 within the cavity 3520. The groove 3510 can be a partially annular or fully annular structure.
[0145] See also Figure 6 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the second connector 352 is further provided with a release element 353, which is operably connected to the locking mechanism 3521. Specifically, the release element 353 can be a release strap. When the release element 353 is pulled, it will cause the locking mechanism 3521 to disengage from the groove 3510 of the first connector 351, allowing the first connector 351 and the second connector 352 to be further separated. In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 3521 may include a magnetic device, and the first connector 351 (e.g., the protruding structure 3511) may be provided with a magnetic device. The magnetic devices of the first connector 351 and the locking mechanism 3521 attract each other, further strengthening the fastening security of the first connector 351 and the second connector 352.
[0146] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 When the first connector 351 and the second connector 352 of the magnetic fastening mechanism 35 are engaged, the webbing 32 wraps around the carrier 100, and the magnetic fastening mechanism 35 is located on a surface of the carrier 100 not obstructed by the seat 900 (e.g., the front 11 or top 12 of the carrier 100). A first end of the first webbing segment 321 extends, for example, from the top 12 of the carrier 100 to the back 13, and a first end of the second webbing segment 322 extends, for example, from the bottom 14 of the carrier 100 to the back 13. See also... Figure 8 When the first connector 351 and the second connector 352 of the magnetic clasp mechanism 35 are separated, the carrier 100 and the LATCH structure 300 can be easily separated.
[0147] In some embodiments, the surface of the carrier 100 may also be provided with a guide structure for guiding the webbing 32. The guide structure includes, for example, a C-shaped opening groove provided on the surface of the carrier 100.
[0148] Of course, the implementation of the connecting component 35 is not limited to the above example, and it can adopt any suitable detachable connecting structure. Figure 9 and Figure 10 This illustrates some variations of the connecting component 35.
[0149] exist Figure 9In the variant of the connecting assembly 35 shown, the connecting assembly 35 includes a third connecting member 354 and a fourth connecting member 358. The fourth connecting member 358 is connected to one of the first webbing segment 321 and the second webbing segment 322, and the third connecting member 354 is connected to the other of the first webbing segment 321 and the second webbing segment 322. The fourth connecting member 358 is, for example, a male fastener, and the third connecting member 354 is, for example, a female fastener, the male fastener being insertable into the female fastener. The fourth connecting member 358 is provided with a locking hole 3580, and the third connecting member 354 includes a locking cavity 3540, within which a locking element (not shown) is provided. When the fourth connecting member 358 and the third connecting member 354 are connected, the locking hole 3580 is located within the locking cavity 3540 and engages with the locking element. The third connecting member 354 further includes a release element 355, which is operably connected to the locking element. When the release member 355 is pressed, the drive locking member disengages from the lock hole 3580, and the fourth connector 358 can be pulled out from the third connector 354.
[0150] exist Figure 10 In the variant of the connecting component 35 shown, the connecting component 35 includes a fifth connector 356 and a sixth connector 357, which can be Velcro fasteners that cooperate with each other. The fifth connector 356 and the sixth connector 357 can be sewn onto the first webbing segment 321 and the second webbing segment 322, respectively.
[0151] See you again Figure 1 The top strap 200 is connected to the vehicle 100 via at least one connecting component 400, and the top strap 200 is also provided with an anchor 23, which can be connected to an anchoring structure in the vehicle to further secure the vehicle 100 to the seat 900.
[0152] See Figure 3 In some embodiments, an anchoring structure 95 is provided on the back of the backrest 92, which is used for detachable connection with the anchor 23. See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Anchor 23 extends rearward from the upper part of the backrest 92 and then connects to the anchoring structure 95. In some embodiments, anchor 23 may pass between the two inserts 931 of the headrest 93. Thus, the top strap 200 can effectively suppress the tendency of the vehicle 100 to tip forward during emergency braking. See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the anchoring structure 95 may include, for example, a recess 950 and a connecting rod 951 mounted in the recess 950, and the anchor 23 may include, for example, a hook that can be hooked onto the connecting rod 951. In some embodiments, the anchoring structure 95 may be located behind the seat 900, for example, on the wall of the vehicle.
[0153] Of course, the anchor 23 and the anchoring structure 95 can also take any other suitable form. For example, in some embodiments not shown, at least one of the two inserts 931 of the headrest 93 can serve as the anchoring structure, and the anchor 23 can be connected to the insert 931. For example, the anchor 23 can be a strap, tied to one or both inserts 931.
[0154] See you again Figure 1 An exemplary embodiment of the connection assembly 400 is shown. In some embodiments, the connection assembly 400 includes a connector 41 and a locator 42, the connector 41 being connected to a top strap 200 and the locator 42 being connected to a carrier 100, the connector 41 and the locator 42 being detachably connected. In some embodiments, one of the connector 41 and the locator 42 may be a fastener and the other a snap ring, the fastener being hookable to the snap ring. In this embodiment, the connector 41 is, for example, a fastener and the locator 42 is a snap ring. In some embodiments, the fastener includes a snap ring 411, a pivot 412, a hook body 413, and a locking arm 414. The snap ring 411 is connected to a webbing 202, which may be connected to the top strap 200. The hook body 413 is pivotally connected to the snap ring 411 via the pivot 412 and has a mounting port 4130. The locking arm 414 is connected to the hook body 413 and is capable of opening or closing the mounting port 4130. The buckle is connected to the webbing 101, which can be connected to the carrier 100. The buckle can enter the hook body 413 through the mounting port 4130 to hook onto the hook body 413.
[0155] It should be noted that the implementation of the connecting component 400 is not limited to the combination of the connecting buckle and the retaining ring described above. For example, the connector 41 and the positioner 42 can adopt the structure of any two cooperating connectors in the connecting component 35 described above (e.g., the first connector 351 and the second connector 352, or the fourth connector 358 and the third connector 354, or the fifth connector 356 and the sixth connector 357). Of course, any two cooperating connectors in the connecting component 35 can also adopt the structure of the connector 41 and the positioner 42 of the connecting component 400 described above.
[0156] See Figure 1In some embodiments, the top strap 200 is connected to the carrier 100 via two connecting components 400. Two positioners 42 of the two connecting components 400 are disposed on the front surface 11 of the carrier 100. In some embodiments, the two positioners 42 are at the same height. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the top strap 200 can be connected to the carrier 100 via one, three, or more connecting components 400. Positioners 42 of one or more connecting components 400 may be disposed on at least one of the front surface 11, top surface 12, back surface 13, bottom surface 14, and side surfaces 15 of the carrier 100.
[0157] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the two positioners 42 are located on the front 11 of the vehicle 100 and arranged symmetrically from left to right. In some embodiments, the two positioners 42 may be closer to the bottom surface of the vehicle 100. The sheet portion 22 covers a sufficiently large area of the vehicle 100 (especially the front 11 of the vehicle 100) so that the vehicle 100 is subjected to a more balanced tension applied by the top strap 200 in the left-right direction, which can better prevent the vehicle 100 from tipping forward.
[0158] When there are two or more connecting components 400, the positioners 42 of these connecting components 400 can be set at the same height of the vehicle 100 or at different heights of the vehicle 100. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the positioners 42 are set at the same height of the vehicle 100. In some embodiments, the positioners 42 at the same height are arranged symmetrically from left to right.
[0159] See Figure 11 and Figure 12 An exemplary embodiment of the top strap 200 is shown. The top strap 200 may include a webbing portion 21 and a sheet portion 22, the webbing portion 21 extending from the sheet portion 22, an anchor 23 connected to the webbing portion 21, and a connector 41 connected to the sheet portion 22. In some embodiments, the sheet portion 22 is generally triangular, the webbing portion 21 extends from one corner of the sheet portion 22, and two connectors 41 are connected to the other two corners of the sheet portion 22. In some embodiments, in Figure 11 and Figure 12 In addition to the two connectors 41 shown, at least one connector 41 may be provided along at least one edge of the sheet portion 22, and a locator 42 corresponding to the at least one connector 41 may be provided on the carrier 100 accordingly.
[0160] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, the sheet portion 22 may cover at least a portion of the front surface 11 of the carrier 100. In some embodiments, the sheet portion 22 may be made of nylon fabric or other high-strength fabric. See also Figure 13In some embodiments, the sheet portion 22 may be made of mesh fabric. In some embodiments, the sheet portion 22 may be made of opaque fabric.
[0161] See you again Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, an adjuster 24 may be provided on the webbing portion 21 to adjust the length of the webbing portion 21 so that the top tie 200 is tensioned.
[0162] In some embodiments not shown, the top strap 200 may not include the sheet portion 22. For example, when the top strap 200 has only one connector 41, the connector 41 and the anchor 23 can be connected by the same webbing. In some embodiments not shown, when the top strap 200 has two or more connectors 41, the top strap 200 may include at least two branch webbings connected to the same webbing portion 21, with the end of each branch webbing connected to a corresponding connector 41.
[0163] Second Embodiment
[0164] Figure 14 A perspective view is shown of a vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 provided according to the second embodiment of the present invention installed on a seat 900. Figure 15 and Figure 16 It shows Figure 14 The top ties 200 are shown in different perspectives in a stereoscopic view. Figure 17 It shows Figure 15 The diagram shows the top strap 200 in its stowed state. Figure 18 It shows Figure 14 The figure shows a perspective view of the vehicle securing mechanism 1000 mounted on the seat 900, with the top strap 200 separated from the vehicle 100.
[0165] Compared with the first embodiment described above, this embodiment mainly modifies the structure of the top strap 200. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 in this embodiment can refer to the description in the first embodiment described above.
[0166] See Figures 14 to 16In this embodiment, the top strap 200 includes a webbing portion 21, a sheet portion 22, and a rod 25. One side 222 of the sheet portion 22 is connected to the rod 25, and two connectors 41 are connected to the other side 221, with the sides 222 and 221 facing each other. In some embodiments, the sheet portion 22 is quadrilateral, with the two connectors 41 located at both ends of the side 221. A fixing portion 252 is provided on the rod 25, one end of the webbing portion 21 is connected to the fixing portion 252, and the other end of the webbing portion 21 is connected to an anchor 23. An adjuster 24 may be provided on the webbing portion 21 for adjusting the length of the webbing portion 21. In some embodiments, the fixing portion 252 may be a retaining ring connected to the rod 25.
[0167] See Figure 14 When the top strap 200 is connected to the locator 42 of the vehicle 100 via connector 41 and to the anchoring structure 95 within the vehicle via anchor 23, the rod 25 can abut against the backrest 92 or against the two inserts 931 of the headrest 93. This allows the sheet portion 22 to fully extend to cover a large area of the vehicle 100. In some embodiments, the rod 25 may be an elongated structure made of rubber, plastic, metal (e.g., iron), or other suitable materials. Other suitable materials may include, for example, EPP material or resilient wood.
[0168] See also Figure 14 In some embodiments, the two positioners 42 are located on the front 11 of the vehicle 100 and arranged symmetrically from left to right. In some embodiments, the two positioners 42 may be closer to the bottom surface of the vehicle 100. The fully unfolded sheet portion 22 covers a sufficiently large area of the vehicle 100 (especially the front 11 of the vehicle 100) so that the vehicle 100 is subjected to a more balanced tension applied by the top strap 200 in the left-right direction, which can better prevent the vehicle 100 from tipping forward.
[0169] See Figures 15 to 17 In some embodiments, the rod 25 has a hollow structure (not shown) and a hole 251 communicating with the hollow structure. An automatic retractor (not shown) may be disposed within the hollow structure; in some embodiments, the automatic retractor may include a retracting shaft and a coil spring connected to the retracting shaft. The side 222 of the sheet portion 22 enters the hollow structure through the hole 251 and connects to the automatic retractor. See also... Figure 18When it is necessary to remove the top strap 200 from the seat 900, the connection between the connector 41 and the retainer 42 can be disconnected first. The coil spring of the automatic retractor can then drive the retractor shaft to rotate. As the retractor shaft rotates, it causes the sheet portion 22 to automatically wind onto the retractor shaft, so that the sheet portion 22 is stored in the hollow structure of the rod 25, thus placing the top strap 200 in a stored state. Afterward, the connection between the anchor 23 and the anchoring structure 95 can be disconnected, and the top strap 200 can be easily removed.
[0170] In some alternative embodiments, the number of connectors 41 provided on the side 221 of the sheet portion 22 is not limited to two. In some embodiments, three, four or more connectors 41 may be provided on the side 221.
[0171] In some alternative embodiments, the rod 25 may not have a hollow structure for receiving the sheet portion 22; for example, the side 222 of the sheet portion 22 may be sleeved on the rod 25. In this case, the location of the connector 41 is not limited to the side 221. In some embodiments, one or more connectors 41 may also be provided along the side 223 and / or side 224 of the sheet portion 22.
[0172] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the vehicle securing mechanism 1000 may only be configured with the top tether 200, without the LATCH structure 300. Also, in some embodiments, the vehicle securing mechanism 1000 may only be configured with the LATCH structure 300, without the top tether 200.
[0173] Third Embodiment
[0174] Figure 19 and Figure 20 The illustration shows perspective views of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 provided according to the third embodiment of the present invention being installed on the seat 900 from different angles. Figure 21 It shows Figure 19 Side view of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 and seat 900. Figure 22 It shows Figure 19 Rear view of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 and seat 900. Figure 23 It shows Figure 19 A perspective view of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 and seat 900, wherein the top strap 200 and LATCH structure 300 are removed from the seat 900 and the vehicle 100 is placed on the seat 900. Figure 24 It shows Figure 19 A three-dimensional view of the top lacing 200 and the LATCH structure 300.
[0175] See Figures 19 to 23The vehicle securing mechanism 1000 may include a vehicle 100, a top strap 200, and a LATCH structure 300. The vehicle 100 may be placed on a seat cushion 91 on a seat 900, and the top strap 200 and LATCH structure 300 cooperate to secure the vehicle 100 to the seat 900. In some embodiments, the top strap 200 and LATCH structure 300 may be referred to as a vehicle restraint structure.
[0176] Seat 900, for example, is a vehicle seat, including a seat cushion 91, a backrest 92, and a headrest 93. In some embodiments, the headrest 93 has a insert 931 that inserts into the backrest 92 from the top. See also Figure 21 In some embodiments, the front of the seat 900 is provided with a connection point for connecting to the LATCH structure 300. In some embodiments, the connection point is an ISOFIX structure 94 located between the front of the backrest 92 and the seat cushion 91. See also Figure 22 In some embodiments, an anchoring structure 95 is provided on the back of the seat 900 for connection to the top strap 200. In some embodiments, the anchoring structure 95 is provided, for example, on the back of the backrest 92. In some embodiments, the anchoring structure 95 may be located outside the seat 900, for example, on the wall of the vehicle compartment and behind the seat 900.
[0177] The vehicle 100 can be a pet vehicle (such as a pet carrier or pet crate). In this embodiment, the vehicle 100 is specifically described using a pet crate as an example, and the vehicle 100 has a space for accommodating a pet.
[0178] See Figures 21 to 23 The top strap 200 is provided with an anchor 23, which can be detachably connected to the aforementioned anchoring structure 95. Specifically, the anchor 23 extends rearward from the top of the backrest 92 and then connects to the anchoring structure 95. In some embodiments, the anchor 23 can pass between the two inserts 931 of the headrest 93. In some embodiments, the anchor 23 may include, for example, a hook, and the anchoring structure 95 may include, for example, a recess 950 and a connecting rod 951 mounted in the recess 950, the hook of the anchor 23 being able to hook onto the connecting rod 951. Of course, the structure of the anchoring structure 95 and the anchor 23 is not limited to the above examples. For example, in some embodiments not shown, at least one of the two inserts 931 of the headrest 93 can serve as an anchoring structure, and the anchor 23 can be connected to the insert 931. For example, the anchor 23 can be a strap, which can be tied to one or both inserts 931.
[0179] See Figure 21 , Figure 23 and Figure 24The LATCH structure 300 and the top strap 200 are connected. The top strap 200 can extend from front to back along the bottom of the vehicle 100 and is detachably connected to the seat 900 via the LATCH structure 300 and the connection point (more specifically, the ISOFIX structure 94), thereby restraining the vehicle 100 within the space defined by the top strap 200, the LATCH structure 300 and the backrest 92.
[0180] In some embodiments, the LATCH structure 300 includes at least one connector 31, which can be detachably connected to the ISOFIX structure 94. In this embodiment, the LATCH structure 300 includes two connectors 31, which are arranged spaced apart from each other, and each connector 31 can be directly or indirectly connected to the top strap 200. In some embodiments, the LATCH structure 300 is detachably connected to the top strap 200.
[0181] When the vehicle 100 needs to be secured to the seat 900, the LATCH structure 300 and the ISOFIX structure 94 of the seat 900 can be connected first. Then, the vehicle 100 is placed on the seat cushion 91 (the top strap 200 has a portion located between the vehicle 100 and the seat cushion 91). Afterward, the anchor 23 is passed through the two inserts 931 and connected to the anchoring structure 95, thus securing the vehicle 100 to the seat 900. In this way, when the vehicle brakes suddenly, the vehicle 100 is less likely to fall off the seat 900, and the tendency of the vehicle 100 to tip forward can be effectively suppressed by the top strap 200.
[0182] See Figures 19 to 21 In some embodiments, the top strap 200 may also be connected to the vehicle 100 via at least one connecting component 400. This allows the top strap 200 to directly apply traction to the vehicle 100, further preventing the vehicle 100 from tipping forward. Furthermore, the connecting component 400 also helps to limit the lateral movement of the vehicle 100 relative to the seat 900.
[0183] See Figure 23 and Figure 24An exemplary embodiment of the connection assembly 400 is shown. The connection assembly 400 includes a connector 41 and a locator 42. The connector 41 is connected to a top strap 200, and the locator 42 is connected to a carrier 100. The connector 41 and the locator 42 are detachably connected. In some embodiments, one of the connector 41 and the locator 42 is a fastener, and the other is a snap ring. The fastener can hook onto the snap ring. In this embodiment, the connector 41 is, for example, a fastener, and the locator 42 is a snap ring. In some embodiments, the fastener includes a snap ring 411, a pivot 412, a hook 413, and a locking arm 414. The snap ring 411 is connected to a connecting strap 202, which can be connected to the top strap 200. The hook 413 is pivotally connected to the snap ring 411 via the pivot 412 and has a mounting port 4130. The locking arm 414 is connected to the hook 413 and is capable of opening or closing the mounting port 4130. The buckle of the positioner 42 is connected to the connecting strap 101, which can be connected to the carrier 100. The buckle can enter the hook body 413 through the mounting port 4130 to hook onto the hook body 413.
[0184] It should be noted that the implementation of the connecting component 400 is not limited to the combination of the connecting buckle and the buckle ring described above, and it can adopt any suitable detachable connecting structure.
[0185] See Figure 23 and Figure 24 In some embodiments, the top strap 200 is connected to the vehicle 100 via two connecting components 400. Two positioners 42 of the two connecting components 400 are disposed, for example, on the front 11 of the vehicle 100. In some embodiments, the two positioners 42 are located at the same height. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the top strap 200 can be connected to the vehicle 100 via one, three, or more connecting components 400. Positioners 42 of one or more connecting components 400 may be disposed, for example, on the front 11, top 12, back 13, bottom 14, and both side surfaces 15 of the vehicle 100 (see...). Figure 21 At least one face of ).
[0186] In this embodiment, the number of connectors 41 and positioners 42 corresponds one-to-one. In some embodiments, the number and position of connectors 41 and positioners 42 can be set as needed. In some embodiments, the number of connectors 41 and positioners 42 may not be in a one-to-one correspondence; in this case, connectors 41 and positioners 42 can be selectively connected.
[0187] When the number of connecting components 400 is not less than two, the positioners 42 of these connecting components 400 can be set at the same height of the vehicle 100 or at different heights of the vehicle 100. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the positioners 42 are set at the same height of the vehicle 100. In some embodiments, the positioners 42 at the same height are arranged symmetrically from left to right.
[0188] See Figure 23 and Figure 24 An exemplary embodiment of the top strap 200 is shown. The top strap 200 may include a webbing portion 21 and a sheet portion 22. The webbing portion 21 extends from the sheet portion 22, and an anchor 23 is connected to the webbing portion 21. A LATCH structure 300 is connected to the sheet portion 22. A connector 41 of the connection assembly 400 is connected to the sheet portion 22.
[0189] In some embodiments, an adjuster 24 may be provided on the webbing portion 21 for adjusting the length of the webbing portion 21 so that the top tie 200 is tensioned.
[0190] In some embodiments, the sheet portion 22 has, for example, an uneven width, and the width direction of the sheet portion 22 is parallel to... Figure 23 The left and right directions are consistent. In some embodiments, the sheet portion 22 has a first portion 2201 covering the front surface 11 of the carrier 100. This first portion 2201 has, for example, a wider width, which helps the carrier 100 to receive a more balanced tension applied by the top strap 200 in the left and right directions, thus better preventing the carrier 100 from tipping forward. See also Figure 24 In this embodiment, two connectors 41 are connected to two sides of the first part 2201, corresponding one-to-one with two locators 42.
[0191] In some embodiments, the sheet portion 22 includes a second portion 2202 connected between the first portion 2201 and the webbing portion 21. The second portion 2202 may be generally triangular, and the webbing portion 21 may be connected to a corner of the second portion 2202 that is away from the first portion 2201.
[0192] In some embodiments, the sheet portion 22 may further include a third portion 2203 located between the bottom surface 14 of the carrier 100 and the seat cushion 91, the third portion 2203 being situated between the first portion 2201 and the LATCH structure 300. In some embodiments, the third portion 2203 is, for example, generally rectangular, and the two connectors 31 of the LATCH structure 300 are connected to the two corners of the third portion 2203 away from the first portion 2201. In some embodiments, the width of the third portion 2203 is, for example, close to the distance between a pair of ISOFIX structures 94 of the seat 900.
[0193] In some embodiments, the sheet portion 22 may include a nylon fabric sheet or other high-strength fabric sheet. See also Figure 24 In some embodiments, the sheet portion 22 may include a mesh fabric sheet. In some embodiments, the fabric sheet of the sheet portion 22 may be made of opaque fabric.
[0194] In some embodiments not shown, the two connectors 31 of the LATCH structure 300 can be connected to the sheet portion 22 via two connecting straps. In some embodiments not shown, adjusters are provided on the two connecting straps that connect the two connectors 31 to the sheet portion 22, so that the lengths of the two connecting straps can be adjusted separately. In some embodiments, when the two connecting straps have sufficient length, the sheet portion 22 may not include the aforementioned third portion 2203. For example, the two connecting straps extend from the two corners of the first portion 2201 away from the second portion 2202. When the carrier 100 is secured to the seat 900, the two connecting straps are spaced apart laterally and located between the bottom surface 14 of the carrier 100 and the seat cushion 91.
[0195] In some embodiments, the sheet portion 22 may not include the second portion 2202 described above, and the webbing portion 21 may be a Y-shaped connecting tape, with the webbing portion 21 directly connected to the first portion 2201.

Anchors 23 are disposed on the main connecting strap, and the ends of each branch connecting strap are respectively connected to connectors 31. In some embodiments, each branch connecting strap is provided with a connector 41.
[0198] Fourth embodiment
[0199] Figure 25 and Figure 26 The illustration shows perspective views of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 provided according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention being installed on the seat 900 from different angles. Figure 27 It shows Figure 25 Side view of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 and seat 900. Figure 28 It shows Figure 25A perspective view of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 and seat 900, wherein the top strap 200 and LATCH structure 300 are removed from the seat 900, the vehicle 100 is placed on the seat 900, and the top strap 200 is in the unfolded state. Figure 29 It shows Figure 25 A perspective view of the top tether 200 and the LATCH structure 300, wherein the top tether 200 is in the unfolded state. Figure 30 and Figure 31 It shows Figure 29 The top strap 200 and LATCH structure 300 are shown from different perspectives, with the top strap 200 in a stowed state.
[0200] Compared with the third embodiment described above, this embodiment mainly modifies the structure of the top strap 200. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 in this embodiment can refer to the description in the first embodiment described above.
[0201] See Figures 27 to 29 The top strap 200 includes a webbing portion 21, a sheet portion 22, a rod 25, and at least one extension strap 26.
[0202] The sheet portion 22 is, for example, quadrilateral, more specifically, rectangular. One side 222 of the sheet portion 22 is connected to the rod 25. In some embodiments, the rod 25 may be a long strip structure, which may be made of rubber, plastic, metal (e.g., iron) or other suitable materials. Other suitable materials may be, for example, EPP material or resilient wood. A fixing portion 252 is provided on the rod 25, for example, located in the middle of the rod 25. In some embodiments, the fixing portion 252 may be a retaining ring connected to the rod 25. One end of the webbing portion 21 is connected to the fixing portion 252, and the other end of the webbing portion 21 is connected to the anchor 23. In some embodiments, an adjuster 24 may be provided on the webbing portion 21 for adjusting the length of the webbing portion 21.
[0203] In this embodiment, the top strap 200 includes two extension straps 26 spaced apart from each other. The two extension straps 26 are connected to another side 221 of the sheet portion 22, with the side 222 and side 221 facing each other. In some embodiments, the two extension straps 26 are located at both ends of the side 221. The LATCH structure 300 includes two connectors 31, which are respectively connected to the two extension straps 26.
[0204] In some embodiments, each extension strip 26 may be directly connected to the sheet portion 22. Alternatively, in some embodiments not shown, each extension strip 26 may be indirectly connected to the sheet portion 22.
[0205] In some embodiments not shown, the side 221 of the sheet portion 22 may be provided with a rod, for example, the length of which is approximately equal to the length of the side 221, and the rod is used to support the side 221. In some embodiments, the rod has a certain elastic deformation capacity to adapt to the surface undulations of the carrier 100. In some embodiments, one, two, or more annular members may be provided at the side 221, an extension strip 26 selectively passes through one or more annular members, and two connectors 31 are provided at both ends of the extension strip 26.
[0206] See Figures 25 to 27 In some embodiments, the top strap 200 is connected to the carrier 100 via at least one connecting component 400. The structure of each connecting component 400 can be seen in the description of the third embodiment, and includes, for example, a connector 41 and a positioner 42.
[0207] See Figure 28 In some embodiments, the two positioners 42 are located on the front 11 of the carrier 100 and arranged symmetrically from left to right. The sheet portion 22 is provided with two connectors 41, and the two connectors 41 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the two positioners 42. As described in the third embodiment, in some embodiments, the number of connectors 41 and positioners 42 may not be in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0208] When the vehicle 100 needs to be secured to the seat 900, the LATCH structure 300 and the ISOFIX structure 94 of the seat 900 are first connected. Then, the vehicle 100 is placed on the seat cushion 91, with the extension strap 26 of the top strap 200 positioned between the vehicle 100 and the seat cushion 91. Next, the connectors 41 and their corresponding positioners 42 are connected, and the anchor 23 is passed through the two inserts 931 and connected to the anchoring structure 95. The vehicle 100 is then secured to the seat 900.
[0209] In some embodiments, when the vehicle securing mechanism 1000 is in use, the rod 25 can rest against the backrest 92 or against the two insert rods 931 of the headrest 93. In some embodiments, the two positioners 42 can be closer to the bottom surface of the vehicle 100. In this way, the sheet portion 22 can cover a sufficiently large area of the vehicle 100 (especially the front 11 of the vehicle 100), so that the vehicle 100 is subjected to a more balanced tension applied by the top strap 200 in the lateral direction, which can better prevent the vehicle 100 from tipping forward.
[0210] See Figure 28In some embodiments, the rod 25 has a hollow structure (not shown) and a hole 251 communicating with the hollow structure. An automatic retractor (not shown) may be disposed within the hollow structure; in some embodiments, the automatic retractor may include a retracting shaft and a coil spring connected to the retracting shaft. The side 222 of the sheet portion 22 enters the hollow structure through the hole 251 and connects to the automatic retractor. See also... Figure 30 and Figure 31 When the top strap 200 and LATCH structure 300 are not required, the sheet portion 22 located between the connector 41 and the rod 25 can be wound into the hollow structure of the rod 25.
[0211] When it is necessary to remove the top strap 200 and LATCH structure 300 from the seat 900, the anchor 23 and anchoring structure 95 can be released first (see Figure 22 The connection between the connector 41 and the retainer 42 is established, and the coil spring of the automatic retractor inside the rod 25 can drive the retractor shaft to rotate. Simultaneously, the retractor shaft rotates, causing the sheet 22 to automatically wind onto the retractor shaft, thus retracting the sheet 22 into the hollow structure of the rod 25, and keeping the top strap 200 in a retracted state. Then, the connection between the connector 41 and the retainer 42 is released, the carrier 100 is removed, and finally, the connection between the plug 31 and the ISOFIX structure 94 is released.
[0212] In some alternative embodiments, the rod 25 may not have a hollow structure for receiving the sheet portion 22; for example, the side 222 of the sheet portion 22 is sleeved on the rod 25.
[0213] In some embodiments, the connector 41 and the corresponding connecting strap 202 may not be provided on the top strap 200, thus allowing the sheet portion 22 to be substantially completely housed within the hollow structure of the rod 25. In some embodiments, the various extension straps 26 may also be housed within the hollow structure of the rod 25.
[0214] Fifth Embodiment
[0215] Figure 32 and Figure 33 The illustration shows perspective views of the vehicle fixing device 100A provided according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention in an unfolded state. Figure 34 A perspective view of the vehicle fixing device 100A in another deployed state is shown. Figure 35 A perspective view of the vehicle fixing device 100A in a folded state is shown. Figure 36 A perspective view shows the vehicle securing device 100A installed on the vehicle seat 900, with the vehicle securing device 100A in a folded state. Figure 37A perspective view shows the vehicle 200A mounted on the vehicle seat 900 via the vehicle fixing device 100A, with the vehicle fixing device 100A in an extended state. Figure 38 It shows Figure 37 The side view of the vehicle fixing device 100A, the vehicle 200A, and the vehicle seat 900 shown.
[0216] For ease of understanding, arrow F indicates forward, arrow B indicates backward, arrow L indicates left, and arrow R indicates right in the accompanying drawings of this embodiment. These directional terms are only used to make the description of the various embodiments of this utility model clearer and are not intended to unduly limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0217] See Figures 32 to 35 The vehicle securing device 100A includes a base 1 and a stop 2. One end of the base 1 is provided with a LATCH structure 13A, which can be connected to the vehicle seat 900, and more specifically, to an ISOFIX structure 912 (see...). Figure 36 The other end of the base 1 is pivotally connected to the stop 2 via the pivot part 12A. The stop 2 can pivot relative to the base 1 around the pivot part 12A, so that the vehicle fixing device 100A can be switched to the use state or the folded state.
[0218] See Figures 32 to 34 In the usage state, the stop 2 rotates relative to the base 1, causing the vehicle fixing device 100A to unfold, and the stop 2 extends upward relative to the base 1. In some embodiments, when the vehicle fixing device 100A is in the usage state, the angle α formed by the stop 2 and the base 1 is approximately 90 degrees. In some embodiments, when the vehicle fixing device 100A is in the usage state, the angle α can be between 90 degrees and 180 degrees. In some embodiments, when the vehicle fixing device 100A is in the usage state, the angle α can be less than 90 degrees.
[0219] See Figure 35 In some embodiments, when the vehicle fixing device 100A is in the folded state, the stop 2 pivots to a position substantially parallel to the base 1. At this time, the vehicle fixing device 100A is small in size and easy to store. In some embodiments, when the vehicle fixing device 100A is in the folded state, the stop 2 may be interfered with by other structures and cannot be parallel to the base 1. The stop 2 still forms an angle α greater than 0 degrees with the base 1. This folded state is also within the protection scope of this embodiment.
[0220] In some embodiments, the pivot 12A has a rotation locking mechanism (not shown) that locks the relative positions of the stop 2 and the base 1 to keep the vehicle fixing device 100A in a folded state or an unfolded state. In some embodiments, the rotation locking mechanism may have a locked state and an unlocked state. When the rotation locking mechanism is in the locked state, the stop 2 and the base 1 cannot rotate relative to each other. When the rotation locking mechanism is in the unlocked state, the stop 2 and the base 1 can rotate relative to each other.
[0221] See Figures 36 to 38 When in use, the vehicle securing device 100A has its base 1 supported on the seat cushion 91 of the vehicle seat 900. The LATCH structure 13A is connected to the ISOFIX structure 912 of the vehicle seat 900. After the stop 2 is pivoted to a suitable position away from the backrest 92 of the vehicle seat 900, the vehicle 200A can be placed on the base 1, positioning the vehicle 200A between the stop 2 and the backrest 92. This vehicle securing device 100A positions the vehicle 200A between the backrest 92 and the stop 2, preventing the vehicle 200A from sliding back and forth on the vehicle seat 900.
[0222] In some embodiments, before placing the carrier 200A on the base 1, the stop 2 can be pivoted relative to the base 1 at a large angle to facilitate the placement of the carrier 200A. After the carrier 200A is placed on the base 1, the carrier 200A can be clamped between the backrest 92 and the stop 2 by rotating the stop 2. When the carrier 200A is clamped, the front side 201A of the carrier 200A abuts against the stop 2, and the rear side 202A of the carrier 200A abuts against the backrest 92.
[0223] See Figure 32 and Figure 33 In some embodiments, the base 1 has a telescopic structure, allowing its length to be adjusted in the front-to-back direction. This allows the base 1 to be lengthened before the carrier 200A is placed on it. After the carrier 200A is placed on the base 1, it can be clamped between the backrest 92 and the stop 2 by shortening the length of the base 1.
[0224] The vehicle 200A can be, for example, but not limited to, a pet carrier (e.g., a pet carrier or pet stand). In this embodiment, the vehicle 200A is specifically described using a pet stand as an example. The vehicle 200A has a space for accommodating a pet (not labeled in the figure). It can be understood that when the vehicle 200A is sandwiched between the backrest 92 and the stop 2, if the vehicle brakes suddenly, the vehicle 200A will not shift excessively in the front-rear direction, thereby reducing the possibility of injury to the pet.
[0225] See you again Figure 32 and Figure 33 This embodiment illustrates an exemplary implementation of the base 1 and the stop 2. Specifically, the base 1 includes two rods 10 spaced apart from each other. In some embodiments, the two rods 10 are parallel to each other. Each rod 10 has a LATCH structure 13A at one end. The stop 2 is generally U-shaped, and includes a rod 22A and two rods 21A spaced apart from each other. One end of each rod 21A is pivotally connected to the other end of the two rods 10 via a pivot portion 12A, and the other ends of the two rods 21A are connected via rods 22A. In some embodiments, the rods 10, 21A, and 22A may be made of hollow tubing. In some embodiments, when the vehicle fixing device 100A is in a folded state, the stop 2 is located between the two rods 10, and the rods 21A and 10 are generally parallel.
[0226] See also Figure 32 and Figure 33 In some embodiments, the rod 10 may include at least two sleeved tubes that are movable relative to each other to allow the length of the base 1 to be adjusted. The relative positions of the plurality of tubes of the rod 10 may be locked by a position locking mechanism 110 to lock the length of the rod 10. More specifically, when the position locking mechanism 110 is locked, the plurality of tubes of the rod 10 cannot extend or retract relative to each other, and the length of the rod 10 is relatively fixed. When the position locking mechanism 110 is unlocked, the plurality of tubes of the rod 10 can easily extend or retract relative to each other to allow adjustment of the length of the rod 10.
[0227] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rod 10 includes a first tube 101A and a second tube 102A. One end of the first tube 101A is connected to the LATCH structure 13A, and the other end of the first tube 101A is sleeved on the outside of the second tube 102A. The end of the second tube 102A away from the first tube 101A is pivotally connected to the corresponding rod 21A via a pivot part 12A. The position locking mechanism 110 includes, for example, a plurality of holes 111 provided on the first tube 101A and a locking pin (not shown in the figure) provided in the second tube 102A. When the position locking mechanism 110 is in the locked state, the locking pin is inserted into one of the holes 111, so that the first tube 101A and the second tube 102A cannot slide relative to each other. When the position locking mechanism 110 is in the unlocked state, the locking pin is disengaged from the hole 111, and the first tube 101A and the second tube 102A can slide relative to each other to adjust the length of the rod 10.
[0228] Of course, the base 1 can also have other implementations. The base 1 only needs to have a LATCH structure 13A for connecting with the connection structure (ISOFIX structure 912) of the vehicle seat 900, and be connected to the stop 2 to cooperate in defining a space for accommodating the vehicle 200A. For example, in some embodiments, the two rods 10 of the base 1 can also be connected by at least one connector (not shown in the figure, such as a connecting rod or connecting plate) to give the base 1 a more stable structure. In some embodiments, the connector can be connected between the first tubes 101A of the two rods 10. In some embodiments, the connector can be connected between the second tubes 102A of the two rods 10. In some embodiments, the stop 2 can be fixedly connected to the base 1 and cannot pivot, which is also within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0229] The stop 2 can also be implemented in other ways, and is not limited to the U-shaped structure described above. For example, in some embodiments, the stop 2 can be H-shaped or T-shaped. The stop 2 only needs to be connected to the base 1 and be able to restrict the forward movement of the carrier 200A.
[0230] In some embodiments, the vehicle securing device 100A may also be configured with a top strap (not shown). One end of the top strap may be connected to the stop 2 (e.g., to the rod 22A), and the other end of the top strap extends rearward from the top of the backrest 92 and is connected to an anchoring structure within the vehicle.
[0231] Sixth Embodiment
[0232] Figure 39 and Figure 40 The illustration shows perspective views of the vehicle fixing device 100A provided according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention in an unfolded state. Figure 41 A perspective view shows the vehicle 200A mounted on the vehicle seat 900 via the vehicle fixing device 100A, with the vehicle fixing device 100A in an extended state. Figure 42 It shows Figure 41 The side view of the vehicle fixing device 100A, the vehicle 200A, and the vehicle seat 900 shown.
[0233] The vehicle securing device 100A provided in this embodiment is a variation of the vehicle securing device 100A provided in the fifth embodiment described above. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle securing device 100A in this embodiment can be found in the structure of the vehicle securing device 100A in the fifth embodiment described above.
[0234] See Figure 39 and Figure 40In some embodiments, the vehicle securing device 100A may also be equipped with a shock-absorbing structure 4, which can be installed on the base 1 and / or the stop 2. The vehicle securing device 100A abuts against the vehicle 200A through the shock-absorbing structure 4. During emergency braking of the vehicle, the shock-absorbing structure 4 can buffer the impact force received by the vehicle 200A, preventing the vehicle 200A from directly impacting the rods of the vehicle securing device 100A and causing injury to the pet inside the vehicle 200A. Figure 42 It can be seen that, for the shock-absorbing structure 4 set on the stop 2, the side of the shock-absorbing structure 4 facing the vehicle 200A protrudes outward relative to the stop 2 (protruding in the direction of the vehicle 200A). When the vehicle brakes suddenly, the shock-absorbing structure 4 comes into contact with the vehicle 200A before the stop 2.
[0235] This embodiment illustrates an exemplary implementation of the shock-absorbing structure 4. Specifically, the shock-absorbing structure 4 includes a mesh structure 41A and at least one shock-absorbing material 42A disposed on the mesh structure 41A. The mesh structure 41A may be a fabric mesh or a metal mesh. In some embodiments, the mesh structure 41A is simultaneously connected to rods 22A and two rods 21A. The shock-absorbing material 42A faces the carrier 200A and is used to abut against the carrier 200A. In some embodiments, multiple shock-absorbing materials 42A are configured, and the multiple shock-absorbing materials 42A may be disposed on the mesh structure 41A in any suitable manner.
[0236] In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing material 42A may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. The single-layer shock-absorbing material 42A may include, but is not limited to, a foam material layer.
[0237] In some embodiments, the multilayer structure of the shock-absorbing material 42A comprises a multilayer material. In some embodiments, the multilayer material may be made of a composite multilayer material with shock-absorbing properties. See also Figure 42 In some embodiments, in the multilayer material of the shock-absorbing material 42A, the material layer 421 closer to the vehicle 200A can be made of a material with higher hardness but smaller thickness, while the material layer 422 farther from the vehicle 200A can be made of a material with lower hardness but larger thickness. Thus, when the vehicle brakes suddenly, the vehicle 200A directly impacts the harder material layer 421. The impact force can quickly diffuse along the harder material layer 421 instead of being concentrated at the point of impact. The diffused impact force can be evenly applied to the lower hardness material layer 422, where it is fully absorbed. It is understood that although the shock-absorbing material 42A is described above using two material layers 421 and 422 as an example, in practical applications, the multilayer structure of the shock-absorbing material 42A can include more than two material layers.
[0238] Although the above description uses the shock-absorbing structure 4 set on the stop 2 as an example, it can be understood that any suitable shock-absorbing structure can be set on the base 1, which will not be elaborated here.
[0239] Seventh Embodiment
[0240] Figure 43 and Figure 44 The illustration shows perspective views of the vehicle fixing device 100A provided according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention in an unfolded state. Figure 45 A perspective view shows the vehicle 200A mounted on the vehicle seat 900 via the vehicle fixing device 100A, with the vehicle fixing device 100A in an extended state. Figure 46 It shows Figure 45 The side view of the vehicle fixing device 100A, the vehicle 200A, and the vehicle seat 900 shown.
[0241] The vehicle securing device 100A provided in this embodiment is a variation of the vehicle securing device 100A provided in the sixth embodiment described above. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle securing device 100A in this embodiment can be referenced from the structure of the vehicle securing device in the sixth embodiment described above.
[0242] This embodiment provides another implementation of the shock-absorbing structure 4 disposed on the stop 2. Specifically, the shock-absorbing structure 4 can be connected to the two rods 21A of the stop 2. In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing structure 4 has a relatively large area for contacting the carrier 200A. In some embodiments, the length of the shock-absorbing structure 4 in the left-right direction can be greater than the distance between the two rods 21A.
[0243] In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing structure 4 may include, for example, a single layer of shock-absorbing material (e.g., but not limited to, foam material). In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing structure 4 may include a multilayer material with shock-absorbing properties. The multilayer material can be referred to the description in the sixth embodiment above, and will not be repeated here.
[0244] Eighth embodiment
[0245] Figure 47 and Figure 48 The illustration shows perspective views of the vehicle fixing device 100A provided according to the eighth embodiment of the present invention in an unfolded state. Figure 49 A perspective view shows the vehicle 200A mounted on the vehicle seat 900 via the vehicle fixing device 100A, with the vehicle fixing device 100A in an extended state. Figure 50 It shows Figure 49 The side view of the vehicle fixing device 100A, the vehicle 200A, and the vehicle seat 900 shown.
[0246] The vehicle securing device 100A provided in this embodiment is a variation of the vehicle securing device 100A provided in the sixth embodiment described above. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle securing device 100A in this embodiment can be found in the structure of the vehicle securing device 100A in the sixth embodiment described above.
[0247] This embodiment provides another implementation of the shock-absorbing structure 4 disposed on the stop 2. The shock-absorbing structure 4 is disposed on at least one of the rod 22A and the two rods 21A, with the side of the shock-absorbing structure 4 facing the carrier 200A protruding outward relative to the stop 2. In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing structure 4 can be adhered to the corresponding rod by adhesive bonding. In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing structure 4 can be integrally formed with the corresponding rod by overmolding.
[0248] In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing structure 4 includes at least one shock-absorbing sleeve 43, which can be sleeved on at least one of the rods 22A and 21A. In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing sleeve 43 may include a single layer of shock-absorbing material (e.g., but not limited to foam material). In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing structure 4 may include a multilayer material with shock-absorbing properties. The multilayer material can be referred to the description in the sixth embodiment above, and will not be repeated here.
[0249] In some embodiments, each shock-absorbing sleeve 43 covers the circumference of the corresponding rod. In some embodiments, each shock-absorbing sleeve 43 may conformally wrap around the corresponding rod. In some embodiments, the outer contour cross-section of each shock-absorbing sleeve 43 is circular.
[0250] In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing structure 4 may not completely cover the corresponding rod in the circumferential direction, and the shock-absorbing structure 4 may only be set in the area where the corresponding rod faces the vehicle 200A.
[0251] Ninth Embodiment
[0252] Figure 51 A perspective view of a vehicle fixing device 100A according to the ninth embodiment of the present invention is shown. The vehicle fixing device 100A is installed on a vehicle seat 900 and is in an unfolded state, with the vehicle 200A separated from the vehicle fixing device 100A. Figure 52 A perspective view is shown showing the vehicle fixing device 100A installed on the vehicle seat and the vehicle 200A installed on the vehicle fixing device 100A. Figure 53 It shows Figure 52 U1-U1 sectional perspective. Figure 54 It shows Figure 53 The front view of the first positioning structure 3 shown in the enlarged partial view Q. Figures 55 to 60 It shows Figure 54Multiple variations of the first positioning structure 3 shown.
[0253] The vehicle securing device 100A provided in this embodiment is a variation of the vehicle securing device 100A provided in the fifth embodiment described above. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle securing device 100A in this embodiment can be found in the structure of the vehicle securing device in the fifth embodiment described above.
[0254] See Figures 51 to 53 In this embodiment, a first positioning structure 3 is provided between the base 1 of the carrier fixing device 100A and the bottom surface 203 of the carrier 200A. The first positioning structure 3 is used to position the relative position of the carrier 200A and the base 1.
[0255] In some embodiments, the first positioning structure 3 may be a snap-fit structure. More specifically, the first positioning structure 3 includes at least one snap-fit member disposed on at least one of the base 1 and the carrier 200A, the base 1 and the carrier 200A being detachably snapped together by the at least one snap-fit member. In some embodiments, the first positioning structure 3 may lock the left and right positions of the carrier 200A and the base 1, preventing the carrier 200A from sliding left and right relative to the base 1.
[0256] See Figure 51 , Figure 53 and Figure 54 An exemplary embodiment of the first positioning structure 3 is shown. The first positioning structure 3 includes a first latching member 31A and a second latching member 32A. The first latching member 31A is disposed on the bottom surface 203 of the carrier 200A, and the second latching member 32A is disposed on the base 1. The first latching member 31A protrudes downward relative to the bottom surface 203 of the carrier 200A. The first latching member 31A has a receiving portion 310 and a latching interface 311 communicating with the receiving portion 310. The second latching member 32A protrudes upward relative to the base 1, and the second latching member 32A can enter the receiving portion 310 through the latching interface 311, so that the second latching member 32A is detachably latched with the first latching member 31A. More specifically, when the carrier 200A is placed on the carrier fixing device 100A, the second latching member 32A contacts the card interface 311, pushing the card interface 311 open. After the second latching member 32A enters the receiving portion 310, the card interface 311 automatically resets, and the first latching member 31A and the second latching member 32A are connected together and not easily detached. In some embodiments, the portion of the second latching member 32A that enters the receiving portion 310 matches the shape of the receiving portion 310.
[0257] In some embodiments not shown, the first positioning structure 3 may further include a locking member and a first unlocking member, the first unlocking member being operably connected to the locking member. When the carrier 200A and the base 1 are engaged together, the locking member locks the carrier 200A and the base 1, preventing them from disengaging. When the locking member locks the carrier 200A and the base 1, the engagement structure of the first positioning structure 3 is correspondingly inseparable; specifically, in this embodiment, the first engagement member 31A and the second engagement member 32A are inseparable. In some embodiments, the locking member may also lock the front-rear position of the carrier 200A and the base 1 to prevent the carrier 200A from sliding back and forth relative to the base 1. When it is necessary to release the connection between the first engagement member 31A and the second engagement member 32A, the first unlocking member drives the locking member to the unlocking position, the locking member releases the locking of the carrier 200A and the base 1, and then the carrier 200A is pulled upwards to separate the first engagement member 31A and the second engagement member 32A.
[0258] Referring to the above, in some embodiments, the base 1 includes two rods 10, and a second snap-fit member 32A can be disposed on at least one rod 10. As described in the embodiments above, the rod 10 may include multiple tubes sleeved together, the multiple tubes being movable relative to each other so that the length of the rod 10 can be extended or retracted, and the second snap-fit member 32A can be installed on the outermost tube among the multiple tubes. Specifically, in this embodiment, the retractable rod 10 includes a first tube 101A and a second tube 102A, the first tube 101A being sleeved on the outside of the second tube 102A, and the second snap-fit member 32A can be disposed on the first tube 101A.
[0259] In some embodiments, each rod 10 may be provided with one, two, or more second latching members 32A. The bottom surface 203 of the carrier 200A may be provided with one, two, or more first latching members 31A at positions corresponding to each rod 10. In some embodiments, when two or more second latching members 32A are provided on a rod 10, these latching members 32A are spaced apart along the length direction of the rod 10.
[0260] Figure 55 A variant embodiment of the first positioning structure 3 is shown. More specifically, the second snap-fit member 32A has a hollow receiving portion 320 and a card interface 321A communicating with the receiving portion 320. The first snap-fit member 31A can enter the receiving portion 320 through the card interface 321A, so that the first snap-fit member 31A and the second snap-fit member 32A are detachably snapped together. In some embodiments, the interior 322A of the second snap-fit member 32A may be hollow.
[0261] Figure 56Another variant of the first positioning structure 3 is shown, which can be a magnetic structure. More specifically, the first positioning structure 3 includes at least one magnetic element disposed on at least one of the base 1 and the carrier 200A, and the base 1 and the carrier 200A are detachably connected by the at least one magnetic element. In some embodiments, the first positioning structure 3 includes a first magnetic element 33 and a second magnetic element 34. The first magnetic element 33 is disposed on the bottom surface 203 of the carrier 200A, and the second magnetic element 34 is disposed on the rod 10 of the base 1. As mentioned above, the rod 10 may include a first tube 101A and a second tube 102A sleeved together, and a second snap-fit element 32A may be disposed on the first tube 101A located on the outside. When the carrier 200A is placed on the base 1, the opposite magnetic poles N and S of the first magnetic element 33 and the second magnetic element 34 attract each other, thereby positioning the carrier 200A. When it is necessary to separate the base 1 and the carrier 200A, the first magnetic element 33 and the second magnetic element 34 can be moved away from each other by moving the carrier 200A. In some embodiments, the carrier 200A can be moved to a position where the like magnetic poles of the first magnetic element 33 and the second magnetic element 34 repel each other, and the carrier 200A can be easily removed by means of the repulsive magnetic force.
[0262] Figure 57 This illustrates yet another variant of the first positioning structure 3. This embodiment... Figure 54 The carrier 200A is modified based on the first positioning structure 3 shown. More specifically, the bottom surface 203 of the carrier 200A is provided with a recess 2030, and the first latching member 31A is located within the recess 2030. In some embodiments, the first latching member 31A is located within the recess 2030 and does not protrude relative to the bottom surface 203, so that the first latching member 31A is not easily impacted by external objects. In some embodiments, when the first latching member 31A and the second latching member 32A are engaged, the first positioning structure 3 may be located within the recess 2030. In some embodiments, the recess 2030 may have sufficient depth to fully accommodate the rod 10, so that the bottom surface 203 of the carrier 200A can be supported by the seat cushion 91. In some embodiments, the recess 2030 and the rod 10 cooperate with each other to help define the left and right position between the carrier 200A and the base 1. Of course, in some embodiments, the bottom of the first snap-fit member 31A may protrude downward from the recess 2030 (that is, the first snap-fit member 31A has a portion located below the bottom surface 203), or the bottom of the first snap-fit member 31A may be flush with the bottom surface 203.
[0263] Figure 58 This illustrates yet another variant of the first positioning structure 3. This embodiment... Figure 57Based on the first positioning structure 3 shown, modifications are made to the first snap-fit member 31A and the second snap-fit member 32A. In some embodiments, the outer contour of the first snap-fit member 31A may match the shape of the recess 2030. The bottom of the first snap-fit member 31A protrudes slightly downward from the recess 2030. The interior 312 of the first snap-fit member 31A may be hollow. The second snap-fit member 32A may wrap around the rod 10 (more specifically, the first tube 101A of the rod 10). In some embodiments, the second snap-fit member 32A may be cylindrical.
[0264] Figure 59 This illustrates yet another variant of the first positioning structure 3. This embodiment... Figure 57 The second snap-fit member 32A is modified based on the first positioning structure 3 shown. The second snap-fit member 32A can be integrally formed with the rod 10 (more specifically, the first tube 101A of the rod 10).
[0265] Figure 60 This illustrates yet another variant of the first positioning structure 3. This embodiment is similar to... Figure 58 The main difference of the first positioning structure 3 shown is that the second snap-fit member 32A is omitted in the first positioning structure 3, and the first snap-fit member 31A is directly snapped into the rod 10 (more specifically, the first tube 101A of the rod 10).
[0266] Figure 61 It shows Figure 51 A variation of the first positioning structure 3 shown. In some embodiments, at least one first latching member 31A may have a longer length, and / or at least one second latching member 32A may have a longer length. Thus, when the carrier 200A is mounted on the carrier fixing device 100A, the first latching member 31A and the second latching member 32A can slide relative to each other in the front-rear direction to adjust the carrier 200A to a suitable position. Furthermore, having a longer first latching member 31A and / or a longer second latching member 32A can improve the versatility of the carrier fixing device 100A and the carrier 200A, and can also reduce the accuracy requirements for the positioning of the first latching member 31A and the second latching member 32A.
[0267] Where there is no conflict, the vehicle fixing device 100A provided in this embodiment can be used with the shock-absorbing structure 4 provided in the above embodiments.
[0268] Tenth Embodiment
[0269] Figures 62 to 64A variant embodiment of the carrier 200A according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention is shown. A second positioning structure 5 may be provided on the carrier 200A, which is used to position the relative positions of the carrier 200A and the stop 2 of the carrier fixing device 100A. Figures 62 to 64 Base 1 is omitted from the text.
[0270] See Figure 62 In some embodiments, the second positioning structure 5 includes a fixing strap 51, with its left and right sides respectively connected to the carrier 200A, forming a channel 510 between the fixing strap 51 and the front side 201A of the carrier 200A. When the carrier 200A is mounted on the carrier fixing device 100A, the stop 2 can be inserted into the channel 510, connecting the stop 2 to the carrier 200A. More specifically, the two rods 21A of the stop 2 pass through the channel 510 together.
[0271] See Figure 63 In some embodiments, the second positioning structure 5 may include at least one fixing strap 52. The fixing strap 52 is connected to the carrier 200A, forming a channel 520 between the fixing strap 52 and the carrier 200A, and the rod 21A or rod 22A is sleeved in the channel 520. The fixing strap 52 can be connected to the carrier 200A by any suitable connection structure. In some embodiments, the connection structure may be, for example, a buckle, a loop, a magnetic buckle, a D-ring, Velcro, etc.
[0272] See Figure 64 In some embodiments, the second positioning structure 5 may include at least one fixing strap 53. One end of the fixing strap 53 is connected to the carrier 200A, and the other end of the fixing strap 53 may be connected to the rod 21A or the rod 22A. In some embodiments, the other end of the fixing strap 53 may be connected to the rod 22A via an annular sleeve 530.
[0273] Where there is no conflict, the second positioning structure 5 of this embodiment can be combined with the carrier 200A in any embodiment of this utility model.
[0274] Eleventh Embodiment
[0275] Figure 65 A perspective view of a vehicle fixing device 100A according to the eleventh embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 66 A perspective view shows the vehicle fixing device 100A installed on the vehicle seat 900. Figure 67 A side view shows the vehicle 200A mounted on the vehicle seat 900 via the vehicle fixing device 100A, with the vehicle fixing device 100A in the deployed state.
[0276] This embodiment is a variation of the vehicle fixing device 100A provided in the fifth embodiment. Unlike the fifth embodiment described above, the first tube 101A, which is provided with the LATCH structure 13A, is sleeved inside the second tube 102A. The position locking mechanism 110 can adopt any suitable structure; an exemplary structure of the position locking mechanism 110 is shown in the thirteenth embodiment below.
[0277] Where there is no conflict, the vehicle fixing device 100A provided in this embodiment can be used with the shock-absorbing structure 4 provided in the above embodiments.
[0278] Where there is no conflict, the vehicle fixing device 100A provided in this embodiment can be combined with the vehicle 200A provided in any of the above embodiments.
[0279] Twelfth Embodiment
[0280] Figure 68 A perspective view of a vehicle fixing device 100A and a vehicle 200A according to the twelfth embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the vehicle 200A is separate from the vehicle fixing device 100A. This embodiment is a variation of the vehicle fixing structure 100 provided in the eleventh embodiment. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle fixing device 100A can be referred to the description in the eleventh embodiment above.
[0281] Depend on Figure 68 As can be seen, a first positioning structure 3 as described in the ninth embodiment can be provided between the base 1 of the carrier fixing device 100A and the carrier 200A. It is understood that the first positioning structure 3 may include a first latching member 31A and a second latching member 32A. The first latching member 31A is disposed on the bottom surface 203 of the carrier 200A. Unlike the ninth embodiment, the second latching member 32A is disposed on the outer second tube 102A of the rod 10. Alternatively, the first positioning structure 3 may include a first magnetic member and a second magnetic member, with the first magnetic member disposed on the bottom surface 203 of the carrier 200A and the second magnetic member disposed on the outer second tube 102A.
[0282] Where there is no conflict, the specific implementation of the first positioning structure 3 can be referred to the description in the ninth embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
[0283] Thirteenth Embodiment
[0284] Figure 69 A partial sectional view of the vehicle fixing device 100A and the vehicle 200A according to the thirteenth embodiment of the present invention is shown. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle fixing device 100A can be referred to the description in the eleventh embodiment above. Figures 70 to 72 It shows Figure 69A cross-sectional view of U2-U2 shows different operating states of the position locking mechanism 110.
[0285] A first positioning structure 3 is provided between the vehicle fixing device 100A and the vehicle 200A. In some embodiments, the first positioning structure 3 includes a first snap-fit member 31A, which is installed in a recess 2030 on the bottom surface 203 of the vehicle 200A. The first snap-fit member 31A has a receiving portion 310 and a snap-fit interface 311 communicating with the receiving portion 310. The first snap-fit member 31A can be directly snapped with the rod 10 (more specifically, the second tube 102A of the rod 10). That is, the second tube 102A can enter the receiving portion 310 through the snap-fit interface 311 to snap with the first snap-fit member 31A.
[0286] This embodiment illustrates an exemplary implementation of the position locking mechanism 110. The position locking mechanism 110 includes a third magnetic element 113, a fourth magnetic element 114, an elastic arm 115, and a lock hole 112.
[0287] See also Figures 69 to 71 In some embodiments, the interior 312 of the first snap-fit member 31A is hollow. The first end 1151 of the elastic arm 115 is fixed to the interior 312 of the first snap-fit member 31A, and the third magnetic member 113 is located at the second end 1152 of the elastic arm 115. A through hole 313 is provided in the first snap-fit member 31A at the position between the second tube 102A and the third magnetic member 113, and the through hole 313 is opposite to the locking hole 112. The locking hole 112 is provided in the second tube 102A (see...). Figure 65 The fourth magnetic element 114 is disposed on the first tube 101A, for example, on the outer periphery of the first tube 101A. In some embodiments, the fourth magnetic element 114 includes a first magnetic strip 1141. See also Figure 71 When the first tube 101A and the second tube 102A move relative to each other, and when the first magnetic strip 1141 and the third magnetic element 113 are opposite, the magnetic poles on adjacent sides of the first magnetic strip 1141 and the third magnetic element 113 attract each other. Thus, the third magnetic element 113 can pass through the through hole 313 and the locking hole 112 and attract the first magnetic strip 1141. This helps to lock the relative positions of the first tube 101A and the second tube 102A, and simultaneously locks the relative positions of the carrier 200A and the second tube 102A, strengthening the connection between the carrier 200A and the carrier fixing device 100A.
[0288] See Figure 72 In some embodiments, the fourth magnetic element 114 further includes a second magnetic strip 1142. In some embodiments, the second magnetic strip 1142 and the first magnetic strip 1141 may be spaced apart. See also Figure 71When the first tube 101A and the second tube 102A move relative to each other, and when the second magnetic strip 1142 and the third magnetic element 113 are opposite each other, the magnetic poles on the adjacent sides of the second magnetic strip 1142 and the third magnetic element 113 are the same and repel each other, and the second magnetic strip 1142 can easily move into the interior 312 of the first snap-fit member 31A.
[0289] It should be noted that the position locking mechanism 110 provided in this embodiment is also applicable to embodiments in which the second tube 102A is sleeved inside the first tube 101A. Accordingly, the locking hole 112 is provided on the first tube 101A located on the outside, and the fourth magnetic element 114 is provided on the second tube 102A located on the inside, for example, on the outer periphery of the second tube 102A.
[0290] Fourteenth Embodiment
[0291] Figure 73 A perspective view of a vehicle fixing device 100A according to the fourteenth embodiment of the present invention is shown. The vehicle fixing device 100A is installed on a vehicle seat 900 and is in an unfolded state, with the vehicle 200A separated from the vehicle fixing device 100A. Figure 74 It shows Figure 73 A partial sectional view of U3-U3, for ease of explanation. Figure 74 Member 10 is shown in dashed lines. Figure 75 A perspective view of the first positioning structure in this embodiment is shown.
[0292] The vehicle securing device 100A provided in this embodiment is a variation of the vehicle securing device 100A provided in the thirteenth embodiment described above. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle securing device 100A in this embodiment can be referenced from the structure of the vehicle securing device 100A in the thirteenth embodiment described above.
[0293] See Figure 73 and Figure 74 The bottom surface 203 of the carrier 200A is provided with at least one recess 2030 for accommodating at least one rod 10 of the base 1. In this embodiment, the length of the rod 10 is extendable; it is understood that in other embodiments, the rod 10 may have a fixed length and be non-extendable. In some embodiments, the recess 2030 extends through the front side 201A and the rear side 202A of the carrier 200A.
[0294] In this embodiment, the first positioning structure 3 includes at least one first latching member 31A. The wall of the recess 2030 is provided with at least one hole 2031. The first latching member 31A is retractably disposed in the corresponding hole 2031, so that the first latching member 31A has a locked position and an unlocked position. See also Figure 74When the first locking member 31A is in the locked position, it extends into the recess 2030 and locks the rod 10 within it, preventing the rod 10 from being removed. When it is necessary to remove the carrier 200A from the carrier fixing device 100A, the first locking member 31A is driven to move towards the unlocking position in direction P, shortening its length within the recess 2030. When the first locking member 31A moves to the unlocking position, it no longer interferes with the rod 10's removal from the recess 2030.
[0295] See Figure 75 In some embodiments, the first positioning structure 3 may further include at least one reset member 36, which applies a force to the first latching member 31A to move it towards a locked position. In the absence of external force, the reset member 36 holds the first latching member 31A in the locked position. In some embodiments, the reset member 36 may include, for example, a spring.
[0296] In some embodiments not shown, the first positioning structure 3 further includes at least one second release member operably connected to the first latching member 31A, the second release member being used to drive the first latching member 31A to a release position. In some embodiments, the second release member is rigidly connected to the first latching member 31A, for example. In some embodiments, the second release member is connected to the first latching member 31A, for example, via a traction member (e.g., a wire rope). In some embodiments, the second release member may be, but is not limited to, a button.
[0297] See Figure 74 and Figure 75 In some embodiments, the first latching member 31A has, for example, a guide ramp 315. When the carrier 200A is mounted onto the base 1, the rod 10 can exert a force on the first latching member 31A via the guide ramp 315 to move towards the unlocking position. In this way, without operating the second unlocking member, the rod 10 can pass over the first latching member 31A and be locked in the recess 2030 by the first latching member 31A.
[0298] See Figure 73 and Figure 75In some embodiments, the first positioning structure 3 includes four first latching members 31A, namely first latching member 31Aa, first latching member 31Ab, first latching member 31Ac, and first latching member 31Ad. The four first latching members 31A are arranged in a rectangular array on the bottom of the carrier 200A. In some embodiments, these first latching members 31A move towards the locked or unlocked position in the same direction. In some embodiments, first latching members located in the same row in the left-right direction (e.g., first latching members 31Aa and first latching members 31Ab) move towards the locked or unlocked position in opposite directions; first latching members located in the same column in the front-back direction (e.g., first latching members 31Aa and first latching members 31Ac) move towards the locked or unlocked position in the same direction.
[0299] See Figure 75 In some embodiments, at least two first latching members 31A can be connected by a linkage device 6. When any one of the multiple first latching members 31A connected by the linkage device 6 moves to the unlocking position, the other first latching members 31A move to the unlocking position simultaneously.
[0300] See also Figure 75 In some embodiments, the linkage device 6 may include a linkage component 62 connected between two first card contacts 31A (e.g., first card contacts 31Aa and first card contacts 31Ab) in the same row, and a linkage member 61 connected between two first card contacts 31A (e.g., first card contacts 31Aa and first card contacts 31Ad) located diagonally.
[0301] In some embodiments, the linkage assembly 62 includes a four-bar linkage mechanism. Specifically, the four-bar linkage mechanism includes a first link 621, a second link 622, a third link 623, and a fourth link 624. The first link 621, the second link 622, the third link 623, and the fourth link 624 are connected in pairs to form four connection points, which correspond to pivots A1, A2, A3, and A4. One of the four connection points is a fixed pivot point. In this embodiment, pivot A1 is fixed to the bottom of the carrier 200A and serves as a fixed pivot point. The third link 623 and the fourth link 624, which are connected to the center connection point (corresponding to pivot A2) opposite to the fixed pivot point A1, are connected to the first latching member 31Aa and the first latching member 31Ab via pivots A5 and A6, respectively. The linkage assembly 62 allows the first latching member 31Aa and the first latching member 31Ab to move synchronously to the locked position or the unlocked position. For example, when either the first latching member 31Aa or the first latching member 31Ab moves to the unlocking position under the drive of the second unlocking member, pivot A2 moves away from pivot A1, causing the other of the first latching members 31Aa and 31Ab to move synchronously to the unlocking position. When either the first latching member 31Aa or the first latching member 31Ab moves to the locking position under the drive of the reset member 36, pivot A2 moves closer to pivot A1, causing the other of the first latching members 31Aa and 31Ab to move synchronously to the locking position.
[0302] In some embodiments, the linkage 61 includes, but is not limited to, a traction member (e.g., a wire rope). In some embodiments, the first latching members 31Aa and 31Ad, located diagonally, are connected by one linkage 61, and the first latching members 31Ab and 31Ac, located diagonally, are connected by another linkage 61. When the first latching members 31Aa and 31Ab move synchronously to the unlocking position, the first latching members 31Ac and 31Ad also move synchronously to the unlocking position under the action of the two linkages 61.
[0303] Fifteenth Embodiment
[0304] Figure 76 A perspective view of a vehicle fixing device 100A according to the fifteenth embodiment of the present invention is shown. The vehicle fixing device 100A is installed on a vehicle seat 900 and is in an unfolded state, with the vehicle 200A separated from the vehicle fixing device 100A. Figure 77 It shows Figure 76 A partial sectional view of U4-U4, for ease of explanation. Figure 77 Member 10 is shown in dashed lines.
[0305] The vehicle securing device 100A provided in this embodiment is a variation of the vehicle securing device 100A provided in the fourteenth embodiment described above. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle securing device 100A in this embodiment can be referenced from the structure of the vehicle securing device 100A in the fourteenth embodiment described above.
[0306] In this embodiment, the first positioning structure 3 includes a pair of first snap-fit members 31A. The two opposite walls of the recess 2030 of the carrier 200A are provided with two holes 2031 that are opposite to each other. The pair of first snap-fit members 31A are respectively telescopically disposed in the two holes 2031 that are opposite to each other.
[0307] The two first latching members 31A arranged in pairs have a locked position and an unlocked position. See also Figure 77 When the two first locking contacts 31A are in the locked position, they extend into the recess 2030 by a certain length, locking the rod 10 in the recess 2030. At this time, the rod 10 cannot be moved out of the recess 2030. When the two first locking contacts 31A move to the unlocked position in opposite directions P1 and P2 respectively, they no longer interfere with the rod 10 moving out of the recess 2030.
[0308] In some embodiments not shown, the first positioning structure 3 may further include at least one reset member. The reset member applies a force to the first latching member 31A to move it towards a locked position. Without external force, the reset member holds each of the first latching members 31A in the locked position. In some embodiments, the reset member includes, for example, a spring.
[0309] In some embodiments not shown, the first positioning structure 3 may further include a second release member operably connected to the first latching member 31A, the second release member being used to drive the first latching member 31A to move to the release position.
[0310] In some embodiments, each of the first latches 31A can also be connected by a linkage device so that they can move synchronously to the release position.
[0311] Sixteenth Embodiment
[0312] Figure 78 A perspective view is shown of a vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 according to the sixteenth embodiment of the present invention installed on a seat 900, wherein the canopy assembly 11A of the vehicle 100 is in a closed state. Figure 79 It shows Figure 78 An exemplary perspective view of the base 200B. Figure 80 It shows Figure 78 A three-dimensional view of vehicle 100 in the image. Figure 81 It shows Figure 80The vehicle 100 shown is viewed from below. Figure 82 It shows Figure 78 Another perspective view of the vehicle securing mechanism 1000 and seat 900 shown, wherein the roof assembly 11A of the vehicle 100 is in the open position.
[0313] See Figures 78 to 81 The vehicle securing mechanism 1000 includes a vehicle 100 and a base 200B. The vehicle 100 is detachably mounted on the base 200B, and the base 200B is detachably mounted on a seat 900. The vehicle 100 is secured to the seat 900 by means of the base 200B. The seat 900 may be, for example, but is not limited to, a vehicle seat.
[0314] See Figure 78 The seat 900 includes a seat cushion 91, a backrest 92, and a headrest 93. In some embodiments, the headrest 93 has a insert (not shown) that inserts into the backrest 92 from the top surface. A connection point is typically provided on the front of the seat 900, located at the junction of the front of the backrest 92 and the front of the seat cushion 91. The connection point is used for connection with an ISOFIX structure or a LATCH structure 270 (see...). Figure 79 ( ) Connection. In some embodiments, the backrest 92 is provided with an anchoring structure (not shown in the figure) on the back or top surface. The anchoring structure may be a rod-shaped member for connection with the anchor of the top strap assembly.
[0315] See Figure 78 and Figure 79 The base 200B may include a base 21B and a top rest 22B. The base 21B is for resting on the seat cushion 91. The top rest 22B extends upward from the rear end of the base 21B and is for abutting against the backrest 92. In some embodiments, the base 200B (more specifically, the base 21B) may be configured with an ISOFIX or LATCH structure, the connector of which may be detachably connected to a connection point on the seat 900. The ISOFIX or LATCH structure is not shown in the diagram, but reference can be made to the ISOFIX or LATCH structure of a child safety seat. In some embodiments, the base 200B may be secured to the seat 900 by means of a seatbelt mating with the seat 900. The top rest 22B may be configured with a top strap assembly.
[0316] See Figure 80 and Figure 82The carrier 100 is used to accommodate a pet, and the carrier 100 can be a pet carrier or a pet basket. In this embodiment, the carrier 100 is specifically described using a pet basket as an example. The carrier 100 includes a canopy assembly 11A and a housing body 12B. When the carrier 100 is removed from the base 200B, the carrier 100 can be used alone as a means of transporting a pet.
[0317] The accommodating body 12B is, for example, a box-shaped structure defining an accommodating space 1201 for accommodating infants or pets. This accommodating space 1201 has a top opening 120 through which a pet can enter. In some embodiments, the accommodating body 12B is approximately cuboid in shape, with its sides including two opposing first sides 121 and two opposing second sides 122, the two second sides 122 located between the two first sides 121. In this embodiment, the first sides 121 extend in a front-back direction, and the second sides 122 extend in a left-right direction. In some embodiments, the length of the first sides 121 extending in the front-back direction is greater than the length of the second sides 122 extending in the left-right direction.
[0318] In some embodiments, a retaining ring 1202 may be provided inside the accommodating body 12B, which can be connected to a retaining ring on a pet vest or a pet collar. Specifically, two retaining rings 1202 may be provided, arranged diagonally. When the top opening 120 is open, the connection between the retaining ring 1202 and the pet vest can prevent the pet from accidentally escaping.
[0319] In some embodiments, the accommodating body 12B may include a housing made of foam, a support device fitted over the housing, and a seat cover. The support device is used to reinforce the structural strength of the housing on the outside, and may be a frame structure made of metal. The seat cover, for example, wraps around the housing and the support device to give the accommodating body 12B a neat appearance. Of course, the structure and shape of the accommodating body 12B may also have other embodiments and are not limited to the examples described above.
[0320] The accommodating body 12B may also be provided with a handle 123, which is U-shaped. The two ends of the U-shaped handle 123 are pivotally connected to the two sides of the accommodating body 12B. In this embodiment, the two ends of the handle 123 are more specifically pivotally connected to the top middle position of the two first side surfaces 121.
[0321] Figures 79 to 81An exemplary structure is shown in which the carrier 100 is detachably mounted on the base 200B. Of course, the detachable connection between the carrier 100 and the base 200B is not limited to the examples described below. A locking mechanism 23A may be provided on the base 21B, and a locking rod 13B is provided on the bottom of the carrier 100. The locking mechanism 23A and the locking rod 13B are detachably engaged to fix the carrier 100 to the base 21B. In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 23A includes a plurality of locking slots 230 provided on the base 21B and a plurality of locking hooks 231 that engage with the plurality of locking slots 230. These locking slots 230 are spaced apart in the front-back direction and / or left-right direction. The locking rod 13B of the carrier 100 can be inserted into these locking slots 230 and locked by the locking hooks 231.
[0322] In this embodiment, the bottom of the carrier 100 is provided with two engaging rods 13B spaced apart in the front-rear direction. Each engaging rod 13B protrudes downward relative to the bottom of the receiving body 12B, and each engaging rod 13B extends in the left-right direction. The engaging mechanism 23A includes four engaging slots 230. Each engaging rod 13B corresponds to two engaging slots 230. Of course, the implementation of the engaging rods 13B and the engaging mechanism 23A is not limited to the above examples. For example, in some embodiments not shown, the bottom of the carrier 100 may be provided with only one engaging rod 13B extending in the left-right direction, which is offset at the bottom of the carrier 100 relative to the center plane MM of the carrier 100.
[0323] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 23A may further include a release element (not shown), which is operably connected to each locking hook 231 for driving the locking hook 231 to release the locking lever 13B. In some embodiments, a display device may also be provided on the base 21B for displaying whether the locking lever 13B is locked by the locking hook 231.
[0324] The canopy assembly 11A is mounted to the top of the receiving body 12B. In some embodiments, the canopy assembly 11A is detachably connected to the receiving body 12B, for example. In some alternative embodiments, the canopy assembly 11A is non-detachably connected to the receiving body 12B.
[0325] The canopy assembly 11A includes a canopy fabric 111A and a support frame (not shown) that supports the canopy fabric 111A. In this embodiment, the canopy assembly 11A is a fully enclosed canopy, and the canopy assembly 11A has a fully extended state and a fully folded state. In some embodiments, the canopy assembly 11A may also have an intermediate folded state between the fully extended state and the fully folded state. When the canopy assembly 11A is in... Figure 78 In the fully extended state shown, the canopy assembly 11A completely covers the top opening 120 of the housing body 12B (see figure). Figure 82When the roof assembly 11A is in Figure 82 When fully folded as shown, the top opening 120 is opened to the maximum extent.
[0326] In some embodiments, such as Figure 82 As shown, the canopy assembly 11A may include two opposing half-canopies 112A, which can rotate in opposite directions to move away from each other, thereby opening the top opening 120 from the middle. In some alternative embodiments, the middle of the canopy assembly 11A cannot be opened; when it is necessary to open the top opening 120, the front and / or rear sides of the canopy assembly 11A are flipped upwards, disengaging the front and / or rear sides of the canopy assembly 11A from the receiving body 12B, thus opening the top opening 120. Of course, the implementation of the canopy assembly 11A is not limited to the above examples.
[0327] It should be noted that although the ceiling assembly 11A is described as a fully enclosed ceiling in this embodiment, in some alternative embodiments, the ceiling assembly 11A may be a partially enclosed ceiling. It is understood that even when fully extended, a partially enclosed ceiling only covers a portion of the top opening 120 and does not completely close the top opening 120.
[0328] It should be noted that although the vehicle 100 in this embodiment is described with a canopy assembly 11A as an example, in some alternative embodiments, the vehicle 100 may not be equipped with a canopy assembly 11A. The vehicle 100 without a canopy assembly 11A is also within the scope of protection of this application.
[0329] Seventeenth Embodiment
[0330] Figure 83 and Figure 84 Perspective views of a vehicle 100 provided according to the seventeenth embodiment of the present invention are shown from different angles. This vehicle 100 is a variation of the vehicle 100 of the sixteenth embodiment described above. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle 100 in this embodiment may refer to the structure of the vehicle 100 in the sixteenth embodiment described above.
[0331] like Figure 83 and Figure 84 As shown, the carrier 100 includes a canopy assembly 11A and a housing body 12B. The canopy assembly 11A is illustrated using a fully enclosed canopy as an example. A locking rod 13B is provided at the bottom of the housing body 12B. The carrier 100 can be detachably connected to the base 200B described in the sixteenth embodiment by means of the locking rod 13B.
[0332] The carrier 100 is also equipped with a collision protection device 14A, which is detachably connected to at least one of the accommodating body 12B, the canopy assembly 11A, and the handle 123. The collision protection device 14A covers at least a portion of the canopy assembly 11A, for example, the front or rear side of the canopy assembly 11A. The collision protection device 14A protects the canopy assembly 11A from damage upon impact when it is in its deployed state, thereby preventing a damaged canopy assembly 11A from impacting the accommodating space 1201 (see [reference]). Figure 82 The interior protrusion could injure the pet. On the other hand, when a pet inside the accommodating space 1201 collides with the canopy assembly 11A, the anti-collision protection device 14A can also buffer the impact. In some embodiments, the anti-collision protection device 14A covers areas of the canopy assembly 11A that are structurally weak, have poor impact resistance, and are prone to collision with the pet.
[0333] This embodiment illustrates an exemplary implementation of a collision avoidance protection device 14A. The collision avoidance protection device 14A may include a cover 141 and two second connectors 142. The cover 141, for example, has a shape that is narrow at both ends and wide in the middle. When the collision avoidance protection device 14A is in... Figure 83 and Figure 84 In the usage state shown, the cover 141 covers the unfolded canopy assembly 11A, and the cover 141 is arched to conform to the shape of the unfolded canopy assembly 11A. The two ends of the cover 141 correspond to the left and right sides of the carrier 100. Two second connectors 142 are provided at both ends of the cover 141. First connectors 124 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the carrier 100, and each second connector 142 can be detachably connected to its corresponding first connector 124, so that the cover 141 laterally covers the observation area located at the front or rear of the canopy assembly 11A.
[0334] See Figure 83 and Figure 84Each second connector 142 can be fixed to both ends of the cover 141, for example, by webbing 143. The second connector 142 is, for example, a hook. At least one first connector 124 is provided on the receiving body 12B. More specifically, one, two, or more first connectors 124 are respectively provided on the two first sides 121 of the receiving body 12B. The first connector 124 is, for example, a metal ring, which can be fixed to the base fabric of the receiving body 12B by webbing 1241. The first connector 124 is located near the pivot point O between the handle 123 and the receiving body 12B. When multiple first connectors 124 are configured, the multiple first connectors 124 are arranged symmetrically about the pivot point O, for example, and the second connector 142 can be connected to any of the first connectors 124 as needed. Of course, the implementation of the first connector 124 and the second connector 142 is not limited to the above example.
[0335] In some alternative embodiments, the first connector 124 may be disposed on the canopy assembly 11A, for example, on the canopy fabric of the canopy assembly 11A. In this case, the first connector 124 and the second connector 142 are, for example, mutually engaging Velcro, snap fasteners, or other structures. Alternatively, in some alternative embodiments, the first connector 124 may be disposed on the handle 123. When the first connector 124 is disposed on the handle 123, the first connector 124 may be a hole formed in the handle 123, to which the second connector 142 is detachably connected.
[0336] See Figure 83 When the anti-collision protection device 14A is in use, at least one connection point 145 can be formed between the lower edge of the anti-collision protection device 14A and the outer surface of the receiving body 12B. These connection points 145 are used to assist in fixing the relative position of the anti-collision protection device 14A and the roof assembly 11A, preventing the anti-collision protection device 14A from sliding. When there are more than one connection point 145, the connection points may correspond to different outer surfaces of the receiving body 12B, for example. The connection points 145 can be formed by mutually cooperating fasteners, Velcro, snaps, or other structures. In some alternative embodiments, at least one connection point can be formed between the outer surfaces of the anti-collision protection device 14A and the roof assembly 11A. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the anti-collision protection device 14A can form at least one connection point both with the receiving body 12B and with the roof assembly 11A.
[0337] See also Figure 83 In some embodiments, the material layers of the cover 141 may include, for example, an inner fabric layer and an outer fabric layer made of fabric, with the inner fabric layer facing the ceiling assembly 11A and the outer fabric layer facing away from the ceiling assembly 11A. Energy-absorbing devices 146 may be sandwiched between the inner and outer fabric layers. Figure 83(shown in dashed lines), the energy-absorbing device 146 is used to cushion impacts. In some embodiments, the energy-absorbing device 146 may be disposed on the surface of the inner fabric layer opposite to the outer fabric layer.
[0338] Energy-absorbing device 146 can be disposed in the transverse middle region of the cover 141 to locally enhance the impact resistance (i.e., anti-collision protection) of the area of the canopy assembly 11A most vulnerable to impact. The energy-absorbing device 146 can be a single-layer or multi-layer structure. When the energy-absorbing device 146 is a single-layer structure, it can be made of, for example, inert memory foam or other suitable materials. When the energy-absorbing device 146 is a multi-layer structure, it can be, for example, a combination of EPP (expanded polypropylene) material layers, EPS (expanded polystyrene) material layers, and EPE (expanded polyethylene, also known as pearl cotton) material layers, or a combination of inert memory foam material layers and PE (polyethylene) material layers, or a combination of other suitable material layers. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the energy-absorbing device 146 is not limited to being disposed in the transverse middle region of the cover 141; the entire area of the cover 141 covering the canopy assembly 11A can be provided with the energy-absorbing device 146. In some embodiments, the thickness of the energy-absorbing device 146 may not be uniform. The portion of the energy-absorbing device 146 corresponding to the transverse middle region of the cover 141 has a thicker thickness, while the portion of the energy-absorbing device 146 corresponding to the two end regions of the cover 141 has a thinner thickness.
[0339] In some embodiments, two anti-collision protection devices 14A may be configured to cover the front and rear sides of the canopy assembly 11A respectively, thereby improving the impact resistance of each covered area of the canopy assembly 11A.
[0340] Eighteenth Embodiment
[0341] Figure 85 and Figure 86 Perspective views of a vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 according to the eighteenth embodiment of the present invention are shown from different angles. The vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 includes a vehicle 100 and a base 200B. The base 200B can be referred to the description in the sixteenth embodiment. The vehicle 100 is a variation of the vehicle 100 in the seventeenth embodiment described above. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle 100 in this embodiment can be referred to the structure of the vehicle 100 in the seventeenth embodiment described above.
[0342] like Figure 85 and Figure 86As shown, the vehicle 100 includes a canopy assembly 11A, a housing body 12B, and a collision protection device 14A. The canopy assembly 11A is illustrated as an example of a partially enclosed canopy, and it is connected to a portion of the upper edges of two first side panels 121 and the upper edge of a second side panel 122. A locking lever 13B is provided at the bottom of the housing body 12B. The vehicle 100 can be detachably connected to the base 200B by means of the locking lever 13B.
[0343] The receiving body 12B is provided with at least one U-shaped strip (also called a U-shaped elastic strip) 1203, which can be used as an anti-collision protection device. Each U-shaped strip 1203 includes two opposing arms 12031 and a crossbar 12032 connecting the two arms 12031. The U-shaped strip 1203 is inverted on the receiving body 12B, and the crossbar 12032 is located at the top of the two arms 12031. In some embodiments, the two arms 12031 extend upward from the upper edges of the two first side panels 121 that are not covered by the canopy assembly 11A. When there is more than one U-shaped strip 1203, the multiple U-shaped strips 1203 can be spaced apart in the front-rear direction, and the multiple U-shaped strips 1203 are parallel to each other.
[0344] The U-shaped strip 1203 can be made of a soft material, including but not limited to plastic and metal strips. The U-shaped strip 1203 can undergo elastic deformation when subjected to external force, thus providing a cushioning effect against impact.
[0345] A collision protection device 14A is used to cover at least a portion of the canopy assembly 11A to protect the canopy assembly 11A in its deployed state. The structure of the collision protection device 14A and the method of fixing the collision protection device 14A to at least one of the housing body 12B, the canopy assembly 11A, and the handle 123 can be referred to the description in the seventeenth embodiment. In some embodiments, a thickened energy-absorbing device 146 is provided on the inner fabric layer in the transverse middle region of the cover 141, the energy-absorbing device 146 contacting the canopy assembly 11A to provide locally enhanced cushioning performance.
[0346] Figure 87 and Figure 88 It shows Figure 85 and Figure 86 The modified embodiment of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 shown mainly addresses... Figure 85 and Figure 86 The U-shaped strip 1203 shown is a variation. For example... Figure 87 and Figure 88As shown, the plurality of U-shaped strips 1203 are not arranged parallel to each other, but are arranged at predetermined angles in the circumferential direction. The U-shaped strips 1203 are located above the area of the accommodating body 12B not covered by the canopy assembly 11A. In some embodiments, the arms 12031 of the plurality of U-shaped strips 1203 may be connected to the same center line.
[0347] Nineteenth Embodiment
[0348] Figure 89 and Figure 90 Perspective views of a vehicle 100 according to the nineteenth embodiment of the present invention are shown from different angles. This vehicle 100 is a variation of the vehicle 100 provided in the eighteenth embodiment described above. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle 100 in this embodiment may refer to the structure of the vehicle 100 in the eighteenth embodiment described above.
[0349] like Figure 89 and Figure 90 As shown, unlike the eighteenth embodiment described above, the U-shaped strip 1203 is omitted in this embodiment, and a crash protection device 15A is installed in the area of the accommodating body 12B that is not connected to the canopy assembly 11A. More specifically, the crash protection device 15A is opposite to the canopy assembly 11A and is detachably connected to the upper edge of the accommodating body 12B. More specifically, the bottom 151 of the crash protection device 15A is C-shaped, and the bottom 151 of the crash protection device 15A covers a portion of the upper edge of the two first side surfaces 121 and the upper edge of the second side surface 122.
[0350] In some embodiments, the bottom 151 of the anti-collision protection device 15A is provided with a slot, for example, which can be detachably engaged with the upper edge of the receiving body 12B. Of course, the anti-collision protection device 15A can also be provided on the upper edge of the receiving body 12B in other suitable ways.
[0351] The anti-collision protection device 15A can not only buffer impacts from outside the vehicle 100 or from pets, but also effectively prevent pets in the containment space 1201 from falling outside the vehicle 100 through the top opening 120, thus ensuring the safety of pets in the containment space 1201.
[0352] See Figure 89The anti-collision protection device 15A includes a first portion 1501 extending upward from a second side 122 and a second portion 1502 extending upward from a first side 121, wherein the height of the first portion 1501 is greater than the height of the second portion 1502. In some embodiments, a step is formed at the transition between the first portion 1501 and the second portion 1502. In some alternative embodiments, the upper edge of the second portion 1502 extends obliquely to the upper edge of the first portion 1501. In some embodiments, the heights of the first portion 1501 and the second portion 1502 may be substantially the same.
[0353] In some embodiments, the anti-collision protection device 15A may be made of a one-piece molded foam material. In some embodiments, the anti-collision protection device 15A may include a fabric layer and an energy-absorbing device wrapped inside the fabric layer, the energy-absorbing device being made of a one-piece molded foam material, for example.
[0354] In some embodiments, an energy-absorbing device 1503 may be provided on the inner surface of the anti-collision protection device 15A facing the accommodating space 1201. The energy-absorbing device 1503 may be attached to the inner surface of the anti-collision protection device 15A by adhesive or other means. The energy-absorbing device 1503 may be made of a cushioning material and may have an appropriate area and thickness. The material and structure of the energy-absorbing device 1503 may refer, for example, to the material and structure of the energy-absorbing device 146 in the second embodiment.
[0355] Twentieth Embodiment
[0356] Figures 91 to 93 Perspective views of a vehicle 100 provided according to the twentieth embodiment of the present invention are shown from different angles. This vehicle 100 is a variation of the vehicle 100 of the sixteenth embodiment described above. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle 100 in this embodiment may refer to the structure of the vehicle 100 in the sixteenth embodiment described above.
[0357] like Figures 91 to 93 As shown, the carrier 100 includes a canopy assembly 11A and a housing body 12B. The canopy assembly 11A is illustrated as a fully enclosed canopy; in other embodiments, the canopy assembly 11A may also be a partially enclosed canopy. A locking rod 13B is provided at the bottom of the housing body 12B. The carrier 100 can be detachably connected to the base 200B by means of the locking rod 13B.
[0358] The vehicle 100 is also equipped with a protective sheet 16, which can be a light-transmitting protective net or an opaque protective fabric. The protective sheet 16 includes two opposing first sides 161 and second sides 162, wherein the first side 161 is connected to the housing body 12B, and the second side 162 extends upward and is detachably connected to the handle 123. When the vehicle 100 is mounted on the seat 900 via the base 200B, the handle 123 is rotated to tension the protective sheet 16. Once the protective sheet 16 is tensioned, the position of the handle 123 is locked to keep the protective sheet 16 in a tensioned state. The tensioned protective sheet 16 covers at least a portion of the canopy assembly 11A, providing shock absorption protection.
[0359] In some embodiments, the accommodating body 12B may be provided with a receiving cavity 1206 for receiving the protective sheet 16. The protective sheet 16 may have a stored state in which it is received in the receiving cavity 1206, and a used state in which it extends out of the receiving cavity 1206 and is connected to the handle 123. The opening 12061 of the receiving cavity 1206 for the protective sheet 16 to extend out may be provided on the bottom surface of the accommodating body 12B, or on the side surface of the accommodating body, or on the upper edge of the accommodating body 12B.
[0360] In some embodiments, an automatic retractor (not shown) is provided in the receiving cavity 1206. The automatic retractor may include a winding shaft and a coil spring connected to the winding shaft. A first side 161 of the protective sheet 16 enters the receiving cavity 1206 through the opening 12061 and connects to the automatic retractor. When the second side 162 of the protective sheet 16 is connected to the handle 123, the length of the protective sheet 16 extending from the receiving cavity 1206 can be changed by altering the pivot position of the handle 123 relative to the receiving body 12B, and the protective sheet 16 extending from the receiving cavity 1206 remains taut under the action of the automatic retractor. When the protective sheet 16 is not needed, the automatic retractor can automatically wind it into the receiving cavity 1206. Of course, in some embodiments without an automatic retractor, the protective sheet 16 can be manually retracted into the receiving cavity 1206.
[0361] See Figure 92 The second side 162 of the protective sheet 16 is provided with a connecting strap 1621, and the connecting strap 1621 is provided with a positioning part 1622. The positioning part 1622 can be, but is not limited to, Velcro, snaps, magnetic snaps, etc. The connecting strap 1621 can wrap around the handle 123 and be positioned by the positioning part 1622 to form a ring structure that can be detachably fitted onto the handle 123. In some alternative embodiments, the second side 162 of the protective sheet 16 can, for example, hook onto the handle 123.
[0362] It should be noted that although the vehicle 100 in this embodiment has a canopy assembly 11A, it is understood that the protective sheet 16 provided in this embodiment can also be applied to some vehicles 100 that do not have a canopy assembly 11A.
[0363] In some alternative embodiments, the second side 162 of the protective sheet 16 may not be connected to the handle 123, but rather to the headrest 93. More specifically, the second side 162 of the protective sheet 16 may be provided with an extension band, which can be fixed to the headrest of the base 21B. More specifically, the extension band forms a ring structure that can be fitted onto the headrest 93.
[0364] In some alternative embodiments, the second side 162 of the protective sheet 16 can be connected to the top part 22B of the base 200B after passing over the handle 123, which is in a near-vertical position, and the handle 123 provides support for the protective sheet 16.
[0365] Figure 94 and Figure 95 It shows Figure 91 A variant embodiment of the carrier 100 shown. The second side 162 of the protective plate 16 is connected to the top strap assembly 4A, which is provided with an anchor 41B. The anchor 41B is movable downward over the top of the backrest 92 to be detachably connected to an anchoring structure on the back of the backrest 92. In an embodiment where the anchoring structure is disposed on the top surface of the backrest 92, the anchor 41B is detachably connected to the anchoring structure on the top surface of the backrest 92.
[0366] See Figure 94 and Figure 95 The top strap assembly 4A includes an anchor 41B, a webbing 42B, and a second buckle 43A. The second side 162 of the protective plate 16 is connected to the first buckle 1623 via a connecting strap 1621, and the first buckle 1623 and the second buckle 43A are detachably connected. In some embodiments, a length adjuster is provided on the webbing 42B to allow adjustment of the length of the webbing 42B.
[0367] See Figure 95 In some embodiments, the connecting strap 1621 extends from two opposite ends of the second side 162 of the protective sheet 16. In some embodiments, the second side 162 of the protective sheet 16 may be provided with a crossbar, and the connecting strap 1621 may extend from the middle position of the second side 162.

A position lock (not shown in the figure) may also be provided between the U-shaped frame 171 and the handle 123, which can lock the U-shaped frame 171 relative to the handle 123 in different pivot positions. The canopy fabric 172 may be a transparent mesh or an opaque fabric, and the canopy fabric 172 is connected between the U-shaped frame 171 and the handle 123. In some embodiments, the canopy fabric 172 may also be provided with an energy-absorbing device (not shown in the figure, see energy-absorbing device 146 in the seventeenth embodiment or energy-absorbing device 1503 in the nineteenth embodiment). When the vehicle 100 is mounted on the base 200B, the handle 123 can be pivoted forward to flatten it, and then the pivot position of the U-shaped frame 171 relative to the handle 123 can be adjusted to adjust the opening size of the canopy 172. The canopy 172 covers the canopy assembly 11A and provides shock absorption protection.
[0377] like Figure 98 and Figure 99 As shown, in some embodiments, the U-shaped frame 171 can be opened up to a maximum of 90 degrees relative to the handle 123. For example... Figure 100 and Figure 101 As shown, in some embodiments, the U-shaped frame 171 can be opened up to 180 degrees relative to the handle, at which point the canopy 172 can completely cover the canopy assembly 11A.
[0378] In some embodiments, the protective canopy 17 may also be provided with a positioning element 173 at the position corresponding to the U-shaped frame 171, when the U-shaped frame 171 is in position Figure 100 and Figure 101 When positioned, the positioning member 173 can, for example, cooperate with a corresponding positioning member on the receiving body 12B or the canopy assembly 11A to form a fixed engagement point, thereby locking the position of the U-shaped frame 171.

[0379] 23rd Embodiment
[0380] Figures 102 to 103 Perspective views of a vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 according to the twenty-third embodiment of the present invention are shown from different angles. The vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 includes a vehicle 100 and a base 200B. This embodiment is a modification of the vehicle 100 in the sixteenth embodiment. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 in this embodiment can be referenced to the structure of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 in the sixteenth embodiment described above.
[0381] like Figure 102 and Figure 103 As shown, the vehicle 100 includes a canopy assembly 11A and a housing body 12B. The canopy assembly 11A is illustrated as a fully enclosed canopy; in other embodiments, the canopy assembly 11A may also be a partially enclosed canopy. In some alternative embodiments, the canopy assembly 11A may be equipped with a collision protection device 14A as described in the second embodiment. In some alternative embodiments, the vehicle 100 may not be equipped with the canopy assembly 11A.
[0382] A stop 18 is provided at the front end of the base 200B. The stop 18 extends upward from the front end of the base 21B to protect the housing body 12B and the canopy assembly 11A. The stop 18 includes a U-shaped rod, which includes a rod 182 and two rods 181 spaced apart on the left and right. The lower ends of the two rods 181 are connected to the front end of the base 200B (more specifically, the front end of the base 21B), and the upper ends of the two rods 181 are respectively connected to the rod 182. In some embodiments, the rods 181 and 182 may be made of hollow tubing.
[0383] The stop 18 may also include an energy-absorbing device 180. During emergency braking of the vehicle, the energy-absorbing device 180 can cushion the impact force received by the vehicle 100. This embodiment illustrates an exemplary implementation of the energy-absorbing device 180. Specifically, the energy-absorbing device 180 includes a mesh structure. The mesh structure may be a fabric mesh or a metal mesh. The mesh structure is simultaneously connected to the rod 182 and two rods 181. In some embodiments, the energy-absorbing device 180 may further include at least one shock-absorbing material disposed on the mesh structure. The shock-absorbing material is at least disposed on the side of the mesh structure facing the vehicle 100, and when an impact occurs, the shock-absorbing material abuts against the vehicle 100.
[0384] In some embodiments, rod 181 may be a telescopic rod, comprising at least two tubes sleeved together. The relative positions of the at least two tubes may be locked by a position locking mechanism (not shown). When the position locking mechanism is locked, the multiple tubes of rod 181 cannot be telescopically extended or are difficult to telescopically extend relative to each other. When the position locking mechanism is released, the multiple tubes of rod 181 can be easily telescopically extended or extended relative to each other, allowing adjustment of the length of rod 181. When rod 181 is a telescopic rod, the innermost tube of the telescopic rod is connected to base 21B, and the mesh structure of energy-absorbing device 180 is connected to the outermost tube of the telescopic rod. The height of the mesh structure can be adjusted by adjusting the length of each rod 181.
[0385] In some embodiments, the vehicle securing mechanism 1000 may also be configured with a top strap assembly 4A. The top strap assembly 4A includes an anchor 41B and a webbing 42B. One end of the webbing 42B can be connected to a stop 18 (e.g., detachably connected to a rod 182), and the other end of the webbing 42B is provided with the anchor 41B, which can move downwards over the top of the backrest 92 to be detachably connected to an anchoring structure on the back of the backrest 92. In some alternative embodiments, one end of the top strap assembly 4A is connected to the stop 18, and the other end can be connected to the headrest 93. In some embodiments, a length adjuster is provided on the webbing 42B to allow adjustment of the length of the webbing 42B.
[0386] Figure 104 and Figure 105 It shows Figure 102 and Figure 103 The vehicle securing mechanism 1000 shown is a variant embodiment, mainly modifying the structure of the stop 18. As shown, the stop 18 can be a multi-segment design with a bent shape, and the pivot angle between different segments can be adjusted to provide more comprehensive protection for the vehicle 100.
[0387] See Figure 104 and Figure 105 More specifically, the stop 18 includes a first section 18a and a second section 18b. The first section 18a includes two rods 18a1 spaced apart from each other, one end of which is connected to the front end of the base 21B, and the other end of which extends upward. The second section 18b includes a U-shaped frame 18b1, which includes a rod 18b2 and two rods 18b3. One end of each rod 18b3 is pivotally connected to the upper end of the two rods 18a1, and the other end of each rod 18b3 is connected to the rod 18b2. Both the first section 18a and the second section 18b are provided with energy-absorbing devices 180. In some embodiments, the rods 18a1 may be telescopic rods.
[0388] A rotation locking mechanism (not shown) may be provided between the first segment 18a and the second segment 18b. This rotation locking mechanism can lock the relative pivoting positions of the first segment 18a and the second segment 18b to keep the stop 18 in a certain state. In some embodiments, the rotation locking mechanism may have a locked state and an unlocked state. When the rotation locking mechanism is in the locked state, the first segment 18a and the second segment 18b cannot rotate relative to each other. When the rotation locking mechanism is in the unlocked state, the first segment 18a and the second segment 18b can rotate relative to each other.
[0389] It should be noted that although the stop 18 in the above embodiment includes two sections, in other embodiments, the stop 18 may include three or more sections. In some embodiments, the stop 18 has a section that is connected to and supported by the top abutment 22B of the base 200B.
[0390] Figures 106 to 108 It shows that Figure 102 and Figure 103 The illustrated stop 18 is housed in an exemplary embodiment of a base 200B. The base 200B has a receiving cavity 201 inside. The lower end of the stop 18 is pivotally connected to a slider 186 via a pivot joint 185. The slider 186 slides within the receiving cavity 201. The pivot joint 185 is provided with a rotation locking mechanism (not shown), which locks the relative pivot positions of the stop 18 and the slider 186. When the stop 18 needs to be housed, the rotation locking mechanism is switched to the unlocked state, and then the stop 18 is rotated to a horizontal position along direction T1, and then pushed into the receiving cavity 201 along direction T2. When the stop 18 needs to be used, the stop 18 is pulled in the direction opposite to direction T2, and after the stop 18 moves out of the receiving cavity 201, the stop 18 is rotated in the direction opposite to direction T1. Once the stop 18 has rotated to its position, the rotation locking mechanism switches to the locked state, and the stop 18 can no longer rotate relative to the sliding member 186.
[0391] In some embodiments, the lower end of the stop 18 is detachably connected to the slider 186, either directly or indirectly. For example, when the stop 18 is not needed, the stop 18 can be disengaged from the pivot joint 185, or the stop 18 and its lower end pivot joint 185 can be disengaged from the slider 186.
[0392] When the stop 18 adopts, such as Figure 104 and Figure 105 When the bent structure shown needs to accommodate the stop 18, the multiple sections of the stop 18 can be folded together first. After the multiple sections are folded, they are basically parallel to each other. Then, the folded stop 18 can be pushed into the receiving cavity 201.
[0393] In some alternative embodiments, the following can be omitted. Figures 106 to 108 The sliding member 186 and the receiving cavity 201 are included. The stop member 18 is pivotally connected to the base 21B of the base 200B via a pivot joint 185, and the stop member 18 is detachably connected to the base 21B of the base 200B directly or indirectly. When the stop member 18 is not needed, it can be disengaged from the pivot joint 185, or the stop member 18 and its lower end pivot joint 185 can be disengaged from the base 21B.
[0394] In some embodiments not shown, a receiving groove for accommodating the stop 18 may be provided on the upper surface of the base 21B. The stop 18 is pivotally connected to the front end of the base 21B via a pivot joint. When the stop 18 is not needed, it is aligned with... Figure 106 Rotate the stop 18 in the opposite direction to the direction T1 shown, and the stop 18 can be directly embedded into the receiving groove. When the stop 18 is equipped with the energy-absorbing device 180 mesh structure, the mesh structure has a certain amount of elastic deformation, which will not affect the engagement between the carrier 100 and the base 200B.
[0395] Figure 109 and Figure 110 It shows Figure 102 and Figure 103 In another variant of the vehicle fixing mechanism 1000 shown, the stop 18 is detachably connected to the base 21B. More specifically, the lower end of the stop 18 is detachably connected to the base 21B. More specifically, a socket 210 is provided at the front end of the base 21B, and the lower end of the rod 181 can be inserted into the socket 210 to fix the stop 18 to the base 200B. When the stop 18 is not needed, the lower end of the rod 181 is pulled out of the socket 210, thus detaching the stop 18 from the base 200B. The rod 181 can be a telescopic rod. Of course, the detachable connection between the stop 18 and the base 21B is not limited to the example above.
[0396] In some embodiments, the base 200B may be provided with a chamber (not shown) for accommodating the stop 18, and the stop 18 removed from the base 200B may be stored in the chamber.
[0397] Figure 111 and Figure 112 Another variant of the mounting configuration of the stop 18 is shown. Instead of being connected to the base 200B, the stop 18 is detachably connected to the carrier 100. More specifically, a socket 127 is provided at the front end of the accommodating body 12B of the carrier 100, and the rod 181 of the stop 18 is inserted into the socket 127. The rod 181 can be a telescopic rod. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the carrier 100 can refer to the structure of the carrier 100 in any embodiment. Of course, the detachable connection between the stop 18 and the carrier 100 is not limited to the examples given above.
[0398] 24th Embodiment
[0399] Figures 113 to 115 The following are different perspective views of the carrier 100 provided according to the twenty-fourth embodiment of the present invention when it is used as a trolley, with the support legs 19 of the carrier 100 in an open state. Figure 116 and Figure 117 Different perspective views are shown of the vehicle 100 with its support legs 19 in a stowed state. Figure 118 and Figure 119 It shows Figure 116 and Figure 117 Different perspective views of the vehicle 100 mounted on the base 200B.
[0400] like Figure 113 and Figure 114 As shown, the vehicle 100 includes a canopy assembly 11A, a housing body 12B, a footrest 19, and a rider 129.
[0401] The canopy assembly 11A can be a fully enclosed canopy or a partially enclosed canopy. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the canopy assembly 11A and the housing body 12B can refer to that described in any of the foregoing embodiments. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the vehicle 100 may not be equipped with the canopy assembly 11A.
[0402] The outrigger device 19 includes a front outrigger 191 and a rear outrigger 192. The front outrigger 191 includes two front rods 1911 and a first crossbar 1912. The upper ends of the two front rods 1911 are pivotally connected to the receiving body 12B, and the first crossbar 1912 is connected between the two front rods 1911. The first crossbar 1912 is located, for example, near the lower ends of the two front rods 1911. A front wheel 193 is mounted on the bottom of the front outrigger 191. The rear outrigger 192 includes two rear rods 1921 and a second crossbar 1922. The upper ends of the two rear rods 1921 are pivotally connected to the receiving body 12B, and the second crossbar 1922 is connected between the two rear rods 1921. The second crossbar 1922 is located, for example, near the lower ends of the two rear rods 1921. A rear wheel 194 is mounted on the bottom of the rear outrigger 192. The front outrigger 191 and the rear outrigger 192 can be pivoted open so that the vehicle 100 can be used as a trolley.
[0403] In this embodiment, the two front rods 1911 are pivotally connected to the bottom front end of the accommodating body 12B, and the two rear rods 1921 are pivotally connected to the bottom rear end of the accommodating body 12B. When the support leg device 19 is opened, the front support legs 191 and the rear support legs 192 separate from each other and form a trumpet shape. Figure 115 As shown, the front support leg 191 forms an acute angle α with the vertical plane, and the rear support leg 192 forms an acute angle β with the vertical plane. In some alternative embodiments, the two front rods 1911 and the two rear rods 1921 are pivotally connected at the middle, and the support leg assembly 19 is X-shaped when it is open.
[0404] A locking mechanism for locking the pivot position of the front support leg 191 can be provided between the front support leg 191 and the housing body 12B, and a locking mechanism for locking the pivot position of the rear support leg 192 can be provided between the rear support leg 192 and the housing body 12B. The locking mechanisms have a locked state and an unlocked state to allow the front support leg 191 and the rear support leg 192 to rotate, or to lock the rotation of the front support leg 191 and the rear support leg 192.
[0405] In some embodiments, the locking mechanisms of the front support leg 191 and the rear support leg 192 can be linked, meaning that when one of the two locking mechanisms of the front support leg 191 and the rear support leg 192 is released, the other is also released. After the front support leg 191 and the rear support leg 192 are fully extended, both can be locked. In some embodiments, the locking mechanisms of the front support leg 191 and the rear support leg 192 are not linked, and the unlocking and locking operations of each locking mechanism are performed separately.
[0406] See Figure 115 When it is necessary to place the vehicle 100 onto the base 200B, rotate the front support leg 191 backward in direction N1 and rotate the rear support leg 192 forward in direction N2 until both the front support leg 191 and the rear support leg 192 have moved to the bottom of the housing body 12B (see...). Figure 116 See also Figure 116 and Figure 117 The front support leg 191 and rear support leg 192 at the bottom of the housing body 12B are moved to be basically aligned, and the support leg device 19 switches to the storage state.
[0407] See you again Figure 117 When the support leg assembly 19 is in the retracted state, one of the front support leg 191 and the rear support leg 192 is located inside the other. At this time, the first crossbar 1912 and the second crossbar 1922 can serve as engaging levers for the carrier 100, allowing for detachable engagement with the base 200B. See also... Figure 118 and Figure 119 The carrier 100 is detachably engaged with the base 21 via a locking mechanism consisting of a first crossbar 1912 and a second crossbar 1922. A protective plate 16, as described in the above embodiments, may be provided on the base 200B.
[0408] See Figure 118 and Figure 119 The driver 129 is pivotally connected to the housing body 12B, and the pivot position of the driver 129 relative to the housing body 12B is adjustable. In some embodiments, the driver 129 is telescopic. When the vehicle 100 is used as a trolley, the driver 129 can be extended to a longer length and adjusted to a suitable pivot position. Figure 118 When the vehicle 100 is installed on the base 200B, the driver 129 can be shortened to a suitable length first, and then the second side 162 of the protective plate 16 can be detachably connected to the driver 129. Then, the pivot position of the driver 129 can be adjusted to tension the protective plate 16, and the tensioned protective plate 16 can provide protection for the vehicle 100.
[0409] In some embodiments, the protective plate 16 may be connected only to the crossbar 1291 of the rider 129. In some embodiments, the protective plate 16 may be connected to both the crossbar 1291 and the side bar 1292 of the rider 129, providing three-dimensional protection for the vehicle 100 when the protective plate 16 is tensioned.
[0410] Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the second side 162 of the protective plate 16 may extend over the approximately vertical rider 129 and connect to the top abutment 22B of the base 200B, where the rider 129 provides support for the protective plate 16. Alternatively, the second side 162 of the protective plate 16 may connect to the top strap assembly 4A described above.
