[0302] In the following, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the present disclosure is readily adaptable to various modifications and alternatives, specific embodiments thereof are illustrated by way of example in the drawings. However, the present disclosure should not be construed as limiting itself to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, it will cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

[0303] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0304] The first aspect of this disclosure provides a vehicle, specific embodiments of which will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0305] First aspect, first embodiment

[0306] Figures 1 to 3 The structure of a carrier 1000 provided according to a first embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown. The carrier 1000 may be, but is not limited to, a pet carrier. The carrier 1000 includes a housing body 100, a canopy assembly 200, and a protective cover 300. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The structure of the housing body 100 and the canopy assembly 200, which are installed together, is shown. The canopy assembly 200 is a fully enclosed canopy. Figure 6The structure of the canopy assembly 200 in its deployed state is shown. Figures 7 to 9 The structure of the accommodating body 100 is shown. Figure 10 and Figure 13 The structure of the protective cover 300 is shown.

[0307] See Figure 7 In some embodiments, the housing body 100 is, for example, a box-shaped structure that defines a housing space 113 for accommodating a pet, the housing space 113 having a top opening 10 through which the pet can enter the housing space 113. Figures 7 to 9 An exemplary structure of a receiving body 100 is shown, which includes, for example, a housing 110, a support device (also referred to as a "support assembly") 120, and a seat cover 150. In some embodiments, the receiving body 100 has a structure that is symmetrical from left to right and from front to back. It should be noted that the "seat cover" here is not limited to fabric, but can be understood as a "covering material," such as a fabric, sponge, plastic, etc., and this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0308] See Figure 9 The housing 110 includes, for example, a peripheral wall 112 and a bottom 111, which define an accommodating space 113 and a top opening 10. In some embodiments, the housing 110 may be made of, for example, a foamed material or other suitable material.

[0309] See Figure 8 and Figure 9 The support device 120 is used to support the housing 110 to give the housing 110 sufficient structural strength. In some embodiments, the support device 120 defines a space for accommodating the housing 110, and the support device 120 reinforces the structural strength of the housing 110 from the outside. The support device 120 may be a frame structure made of metal.

[0310] In some embodiments, the support device 120 includes, for example, a first support 121, a second support 122, and a third support 123. The first support 121 and the third support 123 are generally parallel and have a ring-like structure. The first support 121 and the third support 123 are connected by the second support 122. The second support 122 can have various implementations, as long as it can connect the first support 121 and the third support 123.

[0311] Depend on Figure 9 As can be seen, in this embodiment, two second supports 122 are arranged at intervals in the front-to-back direction. Each second support 122 has a U-shaped structure with a vertical section 1221 and a horizontal section 1222. The vertical section 1221 is connected to the first support 121, and the horizontal section 1222 extends in the left-to-right direction and is connected to the third support 123.

[0312] See Figure 8 When the housing 110 is located within the space defined by the support assembly 120, the first support 121 engages with the outer surface of the peripheral wall 112 of the housing 110, and the first support 121 is adjacent to the top opening 10. The vertical section 1221 of the second support 122 engages with the outer surface of the peripheral wall 112 of the housing 110, and the horizontal section 1222 of the second support 122 engages with the outer surface of the bottom 111 of the housing 110. The third support 123 is located below the housing 110 and can be detachably connected to a card slot (not shown) on a trolley, thereby enabling the carrier 1000 to be mounted on the trolley. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the support assembly 120 may have other implementations and is not limited to those described above.

[0313] Depend on Figure 9 As can be seen, the first support 121 and the third support 123 are, for example, rectangular or other suitable shapes. When the first support 121 and the third support 123 are rectangular, both include two opposing long rods and two opposing short rods. In the embodiments of this disclosure, for ease of description, the extension direction of the long rods is referred to as the front-back direction (also known as longitudinal), and the extension direction of the short rods is referred to as the left-right direction (also known as transverse). Arrows F and B are used to schematically indicate the "front" and "back" directions, and arrows L and R are used to schematically indicate the "left" and "right" directions. These directional definitions are only used to make the description of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer and are not intended to unduly limit the scope of protection of this disclosure. Generally, when a pet is contained in the accommodating space 113, the front direction corresponds, for example, to the direction of the pet's head, and the rear direction corresponds, for example, to the direction of the pet's tail; or the front direction corresponds, for example, to the direction of the pet's tail, and the rear direction corresponds, for example, to the direction of the pet's head.

[0314] See Figure 7 The seat cover 150, for example, covers the inner and outer surfaces of the enclosure 110 to give the housing 100 a neat appearance. In some embodiments, when the seat cover 150 is wrapped around the enclosure 110, the third support 123 may be exposed. The area of ​​the seat cover 150 that comes into contact with the pet may include a sponge insert or other cushioning structure. See also Figure 8 and Figure 9The peripheral wall 112 of the housing 110 may be provided with a groove 1121. The vertical section 1221 of the second support 122 can be embedded in the groove 1121 without protruding relative to the surface of the peripheral wall 112. This facilitates the fit between the seat cloth 150 and the housing 110 and reduces the difficulty of cutting the seat cloth 150. In some embodiments, the vertical section 1221 of the second support 122 may be partially embedded in the groove 1121 and partially protruding relative to the surface of the peripheral wall 112. In addition, a wider armrest (for example, made of plastic, not shown in the figure) may be installed on the first support 121, and the seat cloth 150 may also wrap around the armrest.

[0315] See Figure 7 In some embodiments, two first connectors 41 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the receiving body 100, and the two first connectors 41 on the same side of the receiving body 100 are spaced apart in the front-back direction. Each first connector 41 can be, for example, an annular structure (e.g., a metal ring) located outside the seat fabric 150, and each first connector 41 can be connected to the seat fabric 150, for example, by a webbing 411. Of course, the connection method between each first connector 41 and the receiving body 100 is not limited to the examples above. For example, in some embodiments not shown, two connecting posts (not shown) are respectively provided on the two long rods of the first bracket 121, each connecting post having an end exposed above the seat fabric 150, which is used to connect with the first connector 41. The function of each first connector 41 will be described below.

[0316] See Figures 4 to 6 The canopy assembly 200 is mounted on the receiving body 100 and has an unfolded state with the top opening 10 closed. The canopy assembly 200 serves to provide shade and also acts as a dust and mosquito barrier, preventing foreign objects from entering the receiving space 113. The bottom shape of the canopy assembly 200 matches the shape of the top opening 10 of the receiving body 100. In some embodiments, the bottom of the canopy assembly 200 can be detachably connected to the top of the receiving body 100 via a canopy locking device 24, allowing the canopy assembly 200 to be detachably fastened to the top opening 10 of the receiving body 100. In some embodiments, the canopy locking device 24 can be, for example, a zipper, with the first chain 241 of the zipper (see...) Figure 6 For example, the second chain 242 of the zipper is arranged around the bottom of the canopy assembly 200 (see...). Figure 7 For example, the second chain 242 is arranged around the top of the receiving body 100, and is connected to the seat fabric 150, for example. Of course, in other embodiments, the canopy locking device 24 can also be implemented in other ways, such as with fasteners, Velcro, etc. When the canopy assembly 200 is removed from the receiving body 100, the canopy assembly 200 can be folded for easy storage. See also... Figure 4In some embodiments, the bottom of the canopy assembly 200 may also be provided with a skirt 25, which can cover the canopy locking device 24 when the canopy assembly 200 is in the unfolded state.

[0317] See also Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the canopy assembly 200 may include a plurality of U-shaped supports 21 (also referred to as "U-shaped support rods" or "support rods") and a canopy 22 connected to the U-shaped supports 21. The canopy 22 may include, for example, the aforementioned skirt 25. When the canopy assembly 200 is in the unfolded state, the two ends of the U-shaped supports 21 correspond to the left and right sides of the housing body 100, respectively, and the canopy 22 is supported by the U-shaped supports 21 and arches upward relative to the housing body 100. In some embodiments, the canopy 22 may include a shielding area 221 and an observation area 222. See also Figure 4 When the canopy assembly 200 is in the unfolded state, one of the shading area 221 and the observation area 222 is located near the front end of the housing body 100 (corresponding to the front of the canopy assembly 200 and the canopy 22), and the other is located near the rear end of the housing body 100 (corresponding to the rear of the canopy assembly 200 and the canopy 22). The shading area 221 is made of, for example, opaque fabric to block sunlight. The observation area 222 is made of, for example, translucent mesh fabric or a transparent material, allowing the user to observe the interior of the housing body 100. When the observation area 222 is made of a transparent material (e.g., a plastic film), it may also be configured with a breathable structure.

[0318] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the shading area 221 of the ceiling 22 may include a plurality of shading panels 2211, with the joint of each pair of adjacent shading panels 2211 connected to a U-shaped bracket 21. The observation area 222 may include a plurality of observation panels 2221, with the joint of each pair of adjacent observation panels 2221 connected to a U-shaped bracket 21. The joints of adjacent shading panels 2211 and observation panels 2221 are connected to a U-shaped bracket 21. In some embodiments, the area of ​​the shading area 221 is larger than the area of ​​the observation area 222, and a handle 23 may be provided on the shading area 221, for example, located at the top of the ceiling 22.

[0319] See also Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the ceiling 22 may be provided with a ceiling opening 201, and a sealing member 223 is provided at the ceiling opening 201, which can close or open the ceiling opening 201. Figure 4 and Figure 6In this configuration, all canopy openings 201 are closed by sealing elements 223, and the canopy 22 is in the unfolded state. When the sealing elements 223 open the canopy openings 201, a portion of the canopy 22 can be folded along the direction of arrow T1, and another portion of the canopy 22 can be folded along the direction of arrow T2, thus widening the canopy openings 201 (i.e., exposing the accommodating space) and allowing the canopy assembly 200 to switch to the open state. When the canopy assembly 200 is in the open state, the user can place a pet into the accommodating space 113 or remove the pet from the accommodating space 113 through the canopy openings 201 without having to remove the entire canopy assembly 200 from the accommodating body 100.

[0320] See you again Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the protective cover 300 is connected to the housing body 100 and is used to cover at least a portion of the canopy assembly 200 to protect the canopy assembly 200 from damage when it is impacted in its deployed state. In other words, the protective cover 300 in this embodiment can also be referred to as a "protective device" or as an example or part of a "protective device". In some embodiments, the protective cover 300 can cover areas of the canopy assembly 200 with weaker structural strength and poorer impact resistance. For the canopy, the structural strength of the shielding area 221 is generally higher than that of the observation area 222. Therefore, the protective cover 300 can, for example, cover the observation area 222 to improve the impact resistance of the observation area 222 and protect it from damage. It is understood that a portion of the observation area 222 may not be covered by the cover 31 to allow air circulation. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the protective cover 300 can also be used to cover the shielding area 221 to improve its impact resistance.

[0321] Figure 3 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 An exemplary embodiment of the protective shield 300 is shown. The protective shield 300 may include a shield body 31 and two second connectors 32. The shield body 31 has a shape that is narrow at both ends and wide in the middle. When the protective shield 300 is in Figure 1In the indicated usage state, the cover 31 is arched, with its two ends corresponding to the left and right sides of the accommodating body 100. The cover 31 may include at least one material layer. In some embodiments, the material layer of the cover 31 may include, for example, an inner fabric layer and an outer fabric layer made of fabric, with the inner fabric layer facing the canopy assembly 200 and the outer fabric layer facing away from the canopy assembly 200. A cushioning material layer such as a sponge layer may be sandwiched between the inner and outer fabric layers. Of course, in some embodiments, the material layer of the cover 31 may include a single fabric layer made of fabric. Two second connectors 32 are disposed at both ends of the cover 31. One second connector 32 is selectively and detachably connected to one of the two first connectors 41 located on the left side of the accommodating body 100, and the other second connector 32 is selectively and detachably connected to one of the two first connectors 41 located on the right side of the accommodating body 100, such that the cover 31 laterally covers the observation area 222 located at the front or rear of the canopy assembly 200.

[0322] See Figure 10 In some embodiments, each of the second connectors 32 may be secured to opposite ends of the cover 31, for example, by webbing 33. The second connector 32 may be, for example, a hook that can be easily connected to the annular structure of the first connector 41. In some alternative embodiments, the webbing 33 may be, for example, an elastic band that, when each of the second connectors 32 is connected to its corresponding first connector 41, is tensioned to press the cover 31 against the canopy assembly 200, thereby effectively enhancing the impact resistance of the covered area of ​​the canopy assembly 200. Furthermore, in some alternative embodiments, the number of first connectors 41 disposed on the left and right sides of the accommodating body 100 is not limited to two; the number of first connectors 41 may be one or more. When there are two or more first connectors 41, even if the distance between the second connectors 32 at both ends of the cover 31 of different protective covers 300 is different, by selectively connecting each second connector 32 to multiple first connectors 41, the cover 31 can fit into the covered area of ​​the ceiling assembly 200, thereby improving the versatility of the housing body 100 and the protective cover 300.

[0323] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 10 and Figure 11The shapes of the surfaces of the cover 31 and the canopy 22 that come into contact with each other are matched. More specifically, taking the cover 31 covering the observation area 222 as an example, the U-shaped bracket 21 between adjacent observation pieces 2221 of the observation area 222 protrudes outward relative to the observation pieces 2221. The cover 31 may be provided with a turning portion 312 corresponding to the position of the U-shaped bracket 21. When the protective cover 300 is connected to the receiving body 100, the turning portion 312 and the U-shaped bracket 21 cooperate to effectively prevent the cover 31 from sliding down relative to the canopy assembly 200. In some embodiments, the cover 31 may also include a skirt 35, which may wrap around the outside of the top opening 10 of the receiving body 100 to assist in positioning the relative position of the cover 31 and the canopy 22.

[0324] See Figure 10 and Figure 11 The protective cover 300 (i.e., the protective device) includes a shock absorber 311. Specifically, in some embodiments, a shock absorber 311 (shown as dashed lines in the figure) may be provided in the transverse middle region of the cover 31 to locally enhance the impact resistance (shock protection performance) of the area of ​​the canopy assembly 200 most vulnerable to impact. The shock absorber 311 may be a single-layer or multi-layer structure, and may be attached to the surface of the cover 31 facing the canopy 22, or may be sandwiched between the outer and inner fabric layers of the cover 31. When the shock absorber 311 is a single-layer structure, it may be made of, for example, inert memory foam or other suitable materials. When the shock absorber 311 is a multi-layer structure, it may 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 embodiments, the anti-collision body 311 is not limited to being disposed in the lateral middle region of the cover 31; the area of ​​the cover 31 that covers the canopy assembly 200 may be uniformly provided with the anti-collision body 311. See also Figure 12 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, the entire skirt edge 35 or the middle lateral region may also be provided with a crash barrier 311.

[0325] See you again Figure 1In some embodiments, a connecting structure 36 may be provided between the upper edge 316 of the cover 31 of the protective cover 300 and the canopy assembly 200. This connecting structure 36 may include, for example, a third connector 361 and a fourth connector 362. The third connector 361 is connected to the canopy assembly 200, for example, to the canopy 22 or the U-shaped bracket 21. The fourth connector 362 is connected to the upper edge 316 of the cover 31. The third connector 361 and the fourth connector 362 are detachably connected, which can further prevent the cover 31 from sliding down relative to the canopy assembly 200. The third connector 361 may be, for example, a metal ring or a fabric ring, and the fourth connector 362 may be a hook or a fabric strap. The fabric strap can be closed into a loop after passing over the third connector 361.

[0326] In some embodiments not shown, the vehicle 1000 provided in the first embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure may be modified as follows.

[0327] 1. In some embodiments, the housing 110 of the accommodating body 100 may include a plastic shell and may not have a support device 120. The seat cloth 150 may not completely cover the housing 110 but only cover a portion of the housing 110 (e.g., the surface of the accommodating space 113). The housing 110 may be equipped with a rigid handle, the two ends of which are pivotally connected to the middle of two opposing long rods of the first support 121. In this case, the canopy assembly 200 may not have a handle 23. In addition, in some embodiments, the two ends of the shoulder strap (not shown) may be detachably connected to an unused first connector 41, and the shoulder strap may be worn on the user's shoulder to facilitate the user's movement while carrying the vehicle 1000.

[0328] II. In some embodiments, the bottom of the canopy assembly 200 is connected to the top of the housing body 100 by means of sewing, for example, so that the canopy assembly 200 cannot be removed from the housing body 100. In some embodiments, the front and rear of the canopy 22 may both be provided with observation areas 222, and the shading area 221 is located in the middle of the canopy 22. In this case, two protective covers 300 may be configured to cover the observation areas 222 of the front and rear of the canopy 22, respectively. It can be understood that the protective cover 300 can not only improve the impact resistance of the canopy 22, but also provide sunshade. In some embodiments, the vehicle 1000 may be configured with two or more protective covers 300, which can cover not only the observation area 222, but also the shading area 221, to improve the impact resistance of each covered area of ​​the canopy assembly 200. In some embodiments, the shading area 221 of the canopy 22 may also be made of a light-transmitting mesh fabric or a transparent material, and the protective cover 300 may be made into a cover and placed over the canopy 22.

[0329] III. In some embodiments, the protective cover 300 may be detachably connected to both the housing body 100 and the canopy assembly 200 simultaneously, or the protective cover 300 may be connected only to the canopy assembly 200. The protective cover 300 only needs to cover the area of ​​the canopy assembly 200 with weaker structural strength to improve the impact resistance of that area. For example, in some embodiments, the canopy assembly 200 may be provided with one or more first connectors 41. The first connector 41 may be, for example, a metal ring (e.g., a D-ring) provided along the skirt edge 25, a strip of Velcro, multiple snaps, or other suitable structures. The first connector 41 may be detached along with the canopy assembly 200. The skirt edge 35 of the cover 31 may be provided with one or more second connectors 32. The second connector 32 may be a strip of Velcro, multiple snaps, or other suitable structures provided along the skirt edge 35. The first connectors 41 and the second connectors 32 are detachably connected, so that the protective cover 300 is detachably connected to the canopy assembly 200.

[0330] First aspect, second embodiment

[0331] Figure 14 The structure of a carrier 1000 according to a second embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown. The carrier 1000 is similar to the first embodiment described above, including a housing body 100, a canopy assembly 200, and a protective cover 300 (not shown). This embodiment mainly modifies the structure of the housing body 100 and the canopy assembly 200. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the components and the connections between the components in this embodiment can be found in the description of the first embodiment above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the first embodiment described above.

[0332] The vehicle 1000 can be placed on a vehicle seat and can be secured to the vehicle seat (not shown) by any suitable structure. It is understood that when the vehicle 1000 is placed on the vehicle seat, the front-rear direction of the rectangular vehicle 1000 can correspond to the left-right direction of the vehicle seat. See also... Figure 14The vehicle 1000 may also be provided with a side impact protection structure (also referred to as a "protective device" or as an example or part of a "protective device"), which includes, for example, at least one side impact protection block 5. When the side impact protection block 5 is in use (in which the side impact protection block 5 can buffer impacts from the side, such as from a vehicle door), the side impact protection block 5 corresponds to the side of the housing body 100. More specifically, the side impact protection block 5 may be provided at the middle position of at least one of the front and rear sides of the housing body 100. The side impact protection block 5 helps to mitigate side impacts and ensures the side safety of the pet in the housing space 113. The side impact protection block 5 may be directly connected to the housing body 100 or connected to the roof assembly 200. The side impact protection block 5 only needs to correspond to the side of the housing body 100 in the use state and be able to transmit the side impact it receives to the housing body 100. It is understood that when the side impact protection block 5 is connected to the roof assembly 200, the side impact protection block 5 can be connected to the front and / or rear of the roof assembly 200. When the roof assembly 200 is in the unfolded state and connected to the housing body 100, the side impact protection block 5 is located on the side of the housing body 100 so as to play a side impact protection role.

[0333] See Figure 14 , Figure 16 and Figure 18 In some embodiments, the plurality of U-shaped supports 21 of the canopy assembly 200 further include two canopy frames (also referred to as pivot sections) 211 fixed to the periphery of the canopy 22. See also Figure 15 and Figure 16 The opposite ends of the two canopy frames 211 are pivotally connected to two canopy locking devices 24, respectively, so that each canopy frame 211 can rotate about the pivot point O1 relative to the canopy locking device 24. Each canopy locking device 24 is used to be detachably connected to the canopy locking parts 124 on the left and right sides of the housing body 100.

[0334] Figure 16 and Figure 17An exemplary embodiment of the roof locking device 24 and the roof locking portion 124 is shown. The roof locking device 24 may include a locking member 243 and a housing (also referred to as a locking section) 245, with the locking member 243 mounted on the housing 245. Two roof locking portions 124 are mounted, for example, on a first bracket 121, and more specifically, for example, on the middle of a long rod of the first bracket 121. The roof locking portion 124 has a groove 1240 for receiving the locking member 243, in which a locking element (not shown) may be provided, and the locking member 243 may engage with the locking element to lock the relative position of the roof locking position 24 and the roof locking portion 124. It should be noted that in some embodiments, a seat fabric 150 may cover the roof locking portion 124, and the seat fabric 150 may have an opening corresponding to the position of the groove 1240.

[0335] A release element may be provided on either the roof locking device 24 or the roof locking portion 124 to release the engagement between the locking member 243 and the locking member. In some embodiments, the release element may be provided on the roof locking device 24, and the release element is operatively connected to the locking member 243. In this embodiment, the release element 125 is provided, for example, on the roof locking portion 124, and the release element 125 is operatively connected to the locking member. When it is necessary to remove the roof assembly 200 from the housing body 100, the locking member is driven by the release element 125, causing the locking member to disengage from the locking member 243. In some embodiments, a segment adjustment structure may be provided between the end of each roof frame 211 and the housing 245. This segment adjustment structure includes, for example, wavy end face teeth, so that each roof frame 211 can be maintained at different angles relative to the housing 245.

[0336] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15 When the canopy assembly 200 is in the unfolded state, the two canopy frames 211 are symmetrically fastened to the top opening 10 of the housing body 100, more specifically, fitted onto the outside of the housing 110 and positioned above the first bracket 121 of the support assembly 120. See also Figure 18 When it is necessary to open the canopy assembly 200 to allow the pet to be placed in the storage space 113, simply flip any canopy frame 211 upwards.

[0337] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 18In some embodiments, fifth connectors 114 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the accommodating body 100, and mating connectors 2335 corresponding to each fifth connector 114 are provided on the front and rear parts of the canopy 22. The fifth connectors 114 and their corresponding mating connectors 2335 are detachably connected. When the fifth connectors 114 and 2335 are connected, the canopy frame 211 can be prevented from accidentally flipping upwards and causing the canopy assembly 200 to open accidentally, thus keeping the canopy assembly 200 in the unfolded state. When it is necessary to remove the canopy assembly 200 from the accommodating body 100, the connection between the fifth connectors 114 and 2335 is released. In some embodiments, one of the fifth connectors 114 and 2335 can be a male connector and the other can be a female connector. When the male and female connectors are connected, the canopy assembly 200 remains in the unfolded state. The male and female connectors can be, but are not limited to, magnetic fastener assemblies or buckle assemblies that cooperate with each other. See also Figure 18 In some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 is attached to the mating connector 2335. In some alternative embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may be attached to the fifth connector 114. In some embodiments, the mating connector 2335 may be connected to the canopy 22 via a connecting strap 236, and the fifth connector 114 may be fixed to the seat fabric 150 or may be directly fixed to the housing 110 and exposed by the seat fabric 150. See also Figure 14 When the mating connector 2335 is connected to the fifth connector 114, the mating connector 2335 is located outside the fifth connector 114, and the side impact protection block 5 can be set on the mating connector 2335, protruding outward from the shell of the mating connector 2335.

[0338] See Figure 19 In some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 is positioned corresponding to the first bracket 121. Of course, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may not correspond to the bracket device 120 but directly to the housing 110. In some embodiments, when the canopy assembly 200 is in the deployed state and the mating connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 are not connected, the skirt 25 may obscure the fifth connector 114. When it is necessary to connect the mating connector 2335 to the fifth connector 114, the skirt 25 can be moved to expose the fifth connector 114, allowing the fifth connector 114 to connect with the mating connector 2335. In some embodiments, the skirt 25 may have a notch at the position corresponding to the fifth connector 114 to expose the fifth connector 114. Of course, in some embodiments, the canopy assembly 200 may not have a skirt 25. See also Figure 20 In some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 can be integrally formed with the mating connector 2335.

[0339] See Figure 21In some embodiments, the connecting member 2335 (in this example, a male buckle) can be directly connected to the roof 22 (e.g., the skirt 25); the fifth connecting member 114 (in this example, a female buckle) can be connected to the housing body 100. The fifth connecting member 114 can be connected, for example, to the seat fabric 150 of the housing body 100 or the housing 110 via a connecting strap 237. A side impact protection block 5 is disposed on the fifth connecting member 114. See also Figure 21 When the mating connector 2335 is connected to the fifth connector 114, the fifth connector 114 is located outside the mating connector 2335, and the side impact protection block 5 can be disposed on the fifth connector 114, protruding outward from the housing of the fifth connector 114. Of course, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 can be integrally formed with the fifth connector 114.

[0340] First aspect, third embodiment

[0341] Figure 22 The structure of a carrier 1000 according to a third embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown. This embodiment is mainly a modification of the support device 120 in the second embodiment described above. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the components and the connection relationships between the components in this embodiment can be found in the description of the second embodiment above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the second embodiment described above.

[0342] See Figure 22 In some embodiments, the support device 120, based on the support device 120 described in the second embodiment above, adds an additional second support 122 between the first support 121 and the third support 123. This additional second support 122 includes, for example, a connected horizontal section (not shown in the figure) and a vertical section 1224. The horizontal section is connected to, for example, a short rod of the third support 123, extending longitudinally (i.e., in the direction of extension of the long rod). The vertical section 1224 is connected to, for example, a short rod of the first support 121, specifically between the horizontal section and the short rod of the first support 121. The vertical section 1224 corresponds to the side of the housing 110. More specifically, a groove (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the peripheral wall 112 of the housing 110, and the vertical section 1224 can be embedded in the groove without protruding relative to the surface of the peripheral wall 112. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the vertical section 1224 may be partially embedded in the groove and partially protruding relative to the surface of the peripheral wall 112.

[0343] See also Figure 22 In some embodiments, the position of the side impact protection block 5 can correspond to the vertical segment 1224, so that the impact received by the side impact protection block 5 can be transferred to the vertical segment 1224.

[0344] First aspect, fourth embodiment

[0345] This disclosure also provides a fourth embodiment (not shown), which is a variation of the vehicle 1000 provided in the second embodiment described above. More specifically, the side impact protection block 5 protruding outward from the housing of the self-fitting connector 2335 or the housing of the fifth connector 114 in the second embodiment is omitted. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the components and the connection relationships between the components in this embodiment can be found in the description of the second embodiment above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the second embodiment described above.

[0346] In this embodiment, the fifth connector 114 can be fixed to the seat fabric 150 and directly correspond to the housing 110 (or the fifth connector 114 can be directly fixed to the housing 110 and exposed by the seat fabric 150), so that the fifth connector 114 does not correspond to the bracket device 120. The fifth connector 114 and the mating connector 2335 can be magnetic fasteners. The mating connector 2335 can be connected to the canopy assembly 200 (e.g., canopy 22) via a connecting strap 236. After the mating connector 2335 is flipped downwards and connected to the fifth connector 114, the aforementioned protective cover 300 covers the canopy assembly 200, and the protective cover 300 can cover the mating connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114.

[0347] Based on the above, when the vehicle 1000 is installed on a vehicle seat, the left or right side of the accommodating body 100 rests against the vehicle seat, and the front or rear side of the accommodating body 100 faces the vehicle door. When the vehicle 1000 installed on the vehicle seat experiences a side impact (i.e., when the front or rear side of the accommodating body 1000 is impacted), the impact sequence of the vehicle 1000 is: protective cover 300, magnetic fastener assembly (with connector 2335 and fifth connector 114), and housing (e.g., made of foam material) 110. In some embodiments, the protective cover 300 in use does not cover the magnetic fastener assembly, and when the vehicle 1000 installed on the vehicle seat experiences a side impact, the impact sequence of the vehicle 1000 is: magnetic fastener assembly (with connector 2335 and fifth connector 114), and housing (e.g., made of foam material) 110. In this embodiment, the magnetic fastener assembly acts as a side impact protection block (side impact protection structure), eliminating the need for an additional side impact protection block and reducing costs.

[0348] Of course, in some embodiments, the fifth connector 114 may be fixed to the seat fabric 150, and the fifth connector 114 corresponds to the support device 120, more specifically, for example, to the first support 121 (see reference). Figure 19The mating connector 2335 is connected to the roof assembly 200. More specifically, the mating connector 2335 can be connected to the roof 22 via a connecting strap 236. The protective cover 300 can cover the mating connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 that are connected to each other. When the vehicle 1000 is mounted on a vehicle seat and a side impact occurs, the impact sequence of the vehicle 1000 is as follows: protective cover 300, magnetic fastener assembly (matting connector 2335 and fifth connector 114), and support assembly 120.

[0349] First aspect, fifth embodiment

[0350] Figure 23 A perspective view of a carrier 1000 according to a fifth embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown. The carrier 1000 includes, for example, a housing body 100 and a canopy assembly 200. The carrier 1000 may or may not be equipped with the protective cover 300 as described in the above embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the housing body 100 and the canopy assembly 200 in this embodiment can be referred to the description in the second embodiment described above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the second embodiment described above.

[0351] See Figure 23 Fifth connecting members 114 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the housing body 100. The fifth connecting members 114 can be fixed to the seat fabric 150 or can be directly fixed to the housing 110 and exposed by the seat fabric 150. The canopy assembly 200 is provided with mating connecting members 2335 corresponding to each fifth connecting member 114. The mating connecting members 2335 are connected to the canopy 22 of the canopy assembly 200, for example, through a connecting strap 236. As described in the second embodiment, the fifth connecting members 114 and the mating connecting members 2335 are detachably connected. When the fifth connecting members 114 and the mating connecting members 2335 are connected, the canopy frame 211 can be prevented from accidentally flipping upward and causing the canopy assembly 200 to open accidentally, thereby keeping the canopy assembly 200 in the unfolded state. When it is necessary to remove the canopy assembly 200 from the housing body 100, the connection between the fifth connecting members 114 and the mating connecting members 2335 is released. In some embodiments, one of the fifth connector 114 and the mating connector 2335 can be a male connector and the other can be a female connector. When the male connector and the female connector are connected, the canopy assembly 200 remains in the deployed state. The male connector and the female connector can be, but are not limited to, mating magnetic fastener assemblies or fastener assemblies.

[0352] Depend on Figure 23As can be seen, in some embodiments, the vehicle 1000 may include a side impact protection structure 500 (also referred to as a "protective device" or as an example or part of a "protective device"), which may be disposed on the housing body 100 and / or the canopy assembly 200, and the side impact protection structure 500 includes, for example, a side impact protection block 5. When the vehicle 1000 is in Figure 23 In the illustrated usage configuration, the canopy assembly 200 is in the deployed state, and the side impact protection block 5 is in use and corresponds to the side of the housing body 100 (more specifically, at least one of the front and rear sides of the housing body 100). See also Figure 24 When the vehicle 1000 is fixed to the vehicle seat and is subjected to a side impact, the side impact protection block 5 can reduce the impact of the side impact (such as an impact from the door) on the housing body 100 (especially the box 110), ensuring the side safety of the pet in the housing space 113.

[0353] Figure 23 The intermediate connecting member 2335 is connected to the canopy 22 via a connecting strip 236. When the connecting member 2335 and the fifth connecting member 114 are connected, the connecting member 2335 is located outside the fifth connecting member 114. The side impact protection structure 500 includes, for example, a side impact protection block 5 integrated into the housing of the connecting member 2335. That is, the side impact protection block 5 is attached to the housing of the connecting member 2335, integrally formed, or directly formed from the housing of the connecting member 2335. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may protrude outward relative to the housing of the connecting member 2335 as described in the second embodiment of this aspect.

[0354] In some embodiments, the housing of the mating connector 2335 can be changed so that the housing itself can be used as a side impact protection block 5.

[0355] In some embodiments, such as in conjunction with references Figure 21 The fifth connector 114 can be connected to the housing 150 of the accommodating body 100 or the housing 110 via a connecting strap 237, for example, directly to the canopy 22 of the canopy assembly 200. When the mating connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 are connected, the fifth connector 114 is located outside the mating connector 2335. The side impact protection structure 500 may include a side impact protection block 5 integrated into the housing of the fifth connector 114, that is, the side impact protection block 5 is attached to or integrally formed with the housing of the fifth connector 114. Similarly, the housing of the fifth connector 114 can be changed so that the housing itself is used as the side impact protection block 5. Alternatively, the side impact protection block 5 may protrude outward relative to the housing of the fifth connector 114.

[0356] In some embodiments, such as Figure 23 As shown, the housing of the mating connector 2335 used as the side impact protection block 5, or the housing of the fifth connector 114, has, for example, a large thickness T and a large side impact contact area (the area of ​​the side impact contact surface that bears the side impact) S, to achieve a side impact protection effect. In some embodiments, the side impact contact area S is preferably 40 cm². 2 ~80cm 2 In some embodiments, the height at which the housing of the mating connector 2335 used as the side impact protection block 5 protrudes relative to the accommodating body 100 (the direction of this height is consistent with the direction of the thickness T) can be between 10 mm and 30 mm.

[0357] It should be noted that in some embodiments, when the mating connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 are connected together, under the action of the connecting strap 236 or the connecting strap 237, the mating connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 can rotate relative to each other when subjected to a lateral impact. This relative rotation can disperse the instantaneous force direction, making it difficult for the mating connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 to separate. Therefore, when an impact occurs, the canopy assembly 200 can still stably cover the housing body 100 without opening the top opening 10 of the housing body 100, protecting the pet in the housing space 113 from falling out of the housing body 100.

[0358] See also Figure 23 In some embodiments, the seat cover 150 covering the outer surface of the housing 110 may be provided with an open storage bag 151 and / or a storage bag 153 with a closure 1531 to provide multiple storage spaces for the user. The closure 1531 may be, for example, but not limited to, a zipper. The storage bag 153 may be, for example, a concealed storage bag hidden inside the seat cover 150.

[0359] See Figure 24 The diagram shows a perspective view of the housing 110 and support device 120 of the accommodating body 100, and the ceiling frame 211 of the ceiling assembly 200. Figure 25The cross-sectional view shown. In some embodiments, the side impact protection structure 500 may further include a buffer block 55 disposed on the inner side 112b of the peripheral wall 112 of the enclosure 110, more specifically, on the inner side 112b of the peripheral wall 112 of the front and / or rear sides (i.e., either side in the longitudinal direction) of the enclosure 110. The buffer block 55 is used to buffer lateral impacts between the pet and the enclosure 110 within the receiving space 113. In some embodiments, the enclosure 110 is made of, for example, a foam material, and the buffer block 55 is integrally formed with, for example, the enclosure 110. In some embodiments, the first side of the buffer block 55 may be attached to the enclosure 110 by adhesive or other means. The material of the buffer block 55 may be selected from materials with elastic shock-absorbing properties, and the buffer block 55 may have a large area and an appropriate thickness.

[0360] In some embodiments, when the buffer block 55 is a single-layer structure, it may be made of, for example, inert memory foam or other suitable materials. When the buffer block 55 is a multi-layer structure, it may be, for example, a combination of EPP (expanded polypropylene) material layers, EPS (expanded polystyrene) material layers and EPE (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.

[0361] In some embodiments, the second side of the buffer block 55 opposite to the first side may be provided with a rigid sheet (see...). Figure 41 and Figure 44 The rigid sheet 56 in the enclosure 100 is relative to the housing 110 and the accommodating space 113. This rigid sheet can be a plastic sheet made of materials such as PE (polyethylene), PC (polycarbonate), PP (polypropylene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), or PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate). Alternatively, the rigid sheet can be a metal sheet with high hardness, easy deformation, and good toughness. When a pet collides with the buffer block 55 of the housing 100, the rigid sheet on the inner surface of the buffer block 55 can quickly disperse the impact force, preventing the impact force from becoming too concentrated.

[0362] In some embodiments, the peripheral wall 112 of the housing 110 and the buffer block 55 may be provided with a perforated structure to facilitate ventilation. The rigid sheet on the inner side of the buffer block 55 may be, for example, T-shaped or H-shaped, and such a rigid sheet can avoid the perforated structure on the buffer block 55.

[0363] First aspect, sixth embodiment

[0364] Figure 26A perspective view of a vehicle 1000 according to a sixth embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown. This embodiment is a variation of the vehicle 1000 provided in the fifth embodiment described above. Unless otherwise specified, the structures of the accommodating body 100 and the canopy assembly 200 of this embodiment can be found in the description of the fifth embodiment described above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the fifth embodiment described above.

[0365] See Figure 26 In this embodiment, an open-type storage bag 152 is provided on the front and / or rear side of the seat cloth 150 covering the outer surface of the housing 110. The storage bag 152 is attached to the seat cloth 150, for example, by pasting or sewing, and is used to place small items such as shoulder straps. In addition, the storage bag 152 can at least partially accommodate the corresponding side impact protection block 5 to prevent the side impact protection block 5 from affecting the appearance or being damaged by collision. In some embodiments, the opening edge 1521 of the storage bag 152 can be provided as an elastically extendable elastic structure for better placement of items.

[0366] In some embodiments, the fifth connector 114 is located inside the corresponding storage bag 152, and the side impact protection block 5 is disposed on the mating connector 2335. When the mating connector 2335 is connected to the fifth connector 114, the mating connector 2335 and the side impact protection block 5 in use are at least partially housed inside the storage bag 152.

[0367] First aspect, seventh embodiment

[0368] Figure 27 A side view of a vehicle 1000 according to a seventh embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown. This embodiment is a variation of the vehicle 1000 provided in the fifth embodiment described above. The main difference between this embodiment and the fifth embodiment lies in the implementation of the side impact protection structure 500. Unless otherwise specified, the structures of the housing body 100 and the canopy assembly 200 in this embodiment can be found in the description of the fifth embodiment described above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the fifth embodiment.

[0369] See Figure 27In this embodiment, a receiving bag 155 is provided on the front and / or rear side of the seat cloth 150 covering the outer surface of the housing 110. The side impact protection structure 500 includes a side impact protection block 5, which is covered inside the receiving bag 155. The side impact protection block 5 is located below the first bracket 121 of the support device 120. The side impact protection block 5 can be a plastic block, and the material of the plastic block is selected from PC (polycarbonate) plastic, PP (polypropylene) plastic, etc. Alternatively, the side impact protection block 5 can be made of foam material, such as EPS, EPP, EPE, inert memory foam (also known as inert foam), sponge, etc. Alternatively, the side impact protection block 5 can be made of soft rubber (soft rubber is selected from silicone or rubber, for example). In some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 can be an elastic element (such as a spring, sheet, etc.). When the vehicle 1000 is subjected to a side impact, the side impact is transmitted to the housing 110 and / or the support device 120 via the side impact protection block 5.

[0370] In some embodiments, the containment bag 155 may be formed by sewing a piece of fabric onto the outer surface of the seat fabric 150, with the side impact protection block 5 sandwiched between the piece of fabric and the seat fabric 150.

[0371] In some embodiments, the receiving bag 155 may be connected to the seat fabric 150 to form a bag opening, and the bag opening may be provided with a sealing element (not shown), such as a zipper. The sealing element can open or close the bag opening to secure the side impact protection block 5 inside the receiving bag 155 or to allow it to be removed from the receiving bag 155. In some embodiments, the receiving bag 155 is detachably connected to the seat fabric 150 via the sealing element. For example, when the sealing element is a zipper, the zipper may be arranged around the receiving bag 155 and allow the receiving bag 155 to be removed from the seat fabric 150, which facilitates cleaning of the receiving bag 155 and easy replacement of the side impact protection block 5.

[0372] In some embodiments, the receiving bag 155 may be a cloth bag. After the side impact protection block 5 is installed inside the cloth bag, the opening of the cloth bag is closed by sewing or by an openable sealing member, and then the cloth bag is sewn onto the outer surface of the seat fabric 150.

[0373] It should be noted that, depending on the material of the side impact protection block 5, the area of ​​the side impact contact surface S of the side impact protection block 5 and the height of the side impact protection block 5 protruding relative to the seat 150 (also known as the thickness of the side impact protection block 5) can vary. For example, when the side impact protection block 5 is made of plastic, due to the high hardness and good impact resistance of plastic, the area S of the side impact contact surface of the side impact protection block 5 can be smaller, for example, it can be 20cm. 2 -60cm 2The height of the side impact protection block 5 protruding from the seat fabric 150 can be between 40mm and 100mm, preferably 75mm. When the side impact protection block 5 is made of foamed material, the hardness of the side impact protection block 5 is low, and the area S of the side impact contact surface of the side impact protection block 5 can be large, for example, it can be 80cm. 2 -180cm 2 Between; the height of the side impact protection block 5 protruding relative to the seat cloth 150 can be between 20mm and 60mm, preferably 40mm.

[0374] First aspect, eighth embodiment

[0375] Figure 28 A perspective view of a vehicle 1000 provided according to an eighth embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown. Figure 29 It shows Figure 28 The cross-sectional structure is shown in the figure. This embodiment is a variation of the vehicle 1000 provided in the seventh embodiment described above. The main difference between this embodiment and the seventh embodiment lies in the implementation of the side-impact protection structure 500. Unless otherwise specified, the structures of the accommodating body 100 and the roof assembly 200 in this embodiment can be found in the description of the second embodiment described above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the second embodiment described above.

[0376] See Figure 28 and Figure 29 In this embodiment, the side impact protection structure 500 may include a side impact protection block 5, which is disposed, for example, on the outer side 112a of the peripheral wall 112 of the housing 110, more specifically, on the outer side 112a of the peripheral wall 112 on the front and / or rear sides of the housing 110. When the housing 110 is made of foam material, the side impact protection block 5 may be integrally formed with the housing 110. Of course, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may be attached to the housing 110 by means of bonding, secondary molding, snap-fitting, etc. In some embodiments, the housing 110 may be provided with a plurality of perforated structures 1101.

[0377] In some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may be made of foam material, and the shape of the side impact protection block 5 may be, for example, rectangular but not limited to, a rectangle. The area of ​​the side impact contact surface S of the side impact protection block 5 may be 80 cm². 2 -180cm 2 The thickness D can be within 60mm, preferably 40mm. It is understood that the material, shape and size of the side impact protection block 5 are not limited to the examples above.

[0378] For example, in some embodiments, the side impact protection block 5 may include a planar side impact contact surface S, on which a plurality of protrusions may be uniformly spaced. In some embodiments, the side impact contact surface S of the side impact protection block 5 may not be planar; for example, it may be a spherical or hemispherical surface.

[0379] Figure 30 It shows Figure 29 In a modified embodiment of the cross-sectional structure shown, the side impact protection structure 500 may further include a buffer block 55 disposed on the inner side 112b of the peripheral wall 112 of the housing 110, more specifically, on the inner side 112b of the front and / or rear peripheral wall 112 of the housing 110. In some embodiments, the positions of the buffer blocks 55 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the side impact protection blocks 5. The material of the buffer blocks 55 can be found in the description of the buffer blocks 55 in the fifth embodiment. In some embodiments, the inner surface of the buffer block 55 facing the accommodating space 113 may be provided with a rigid sheet (see...). Figure 34 Rigid sheet material 56).

[0380] It is understood that the housing body 100 may also include a seat cloth 150. The seat cloth 150 covering the outer surface of the housing 110 may cover the side impact protection block 5, and the seat cloth 150 covering the inner surface of the housing 110 may cover the buffer block 55, so that the housing body 100 has a neat appearance.

[0381] First aspect, ninth embodiment

[0382] Figure 31 The structure of a vehicle 1000 according to a ninth embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown. This embodiment is a variation of the vehicle 1000 provided in the fifth embodiment described above. Unless otherwise specified, the structures of the housing body 100 and the canopy assembly 200 in this embodiment can be found in the description of the fifth embodiment described above. The following mainly describes the differences between this embodiment and the fifth embodiment described above. For example, this embodiment may also include a side-impact protection structure disposed on the canopy, or additional side-impact protection structures may be provided based on the structure of the fifth embodiment described above, which will be described in detail below.

[0383] Reference Figure 31 and Figure 32 In this embodiment, the side impact protection structure 500 includes a side impact protection block 5 connected to the front and / or rear of the canopy 22. When the canopy assembly 200 is in the deployed state, the shapes of the side impact protection block 5 and the surfaces of the canopy 22 that come into contact with each other are matched.

[0384] As can be seen from the above, in some embodiments, the canopy 22 of the canopy assembly 200 may include a shielding area 221 and an observation area 222. At least one side impact protection block 5 may be disposed in the area of ​​the shielding area 221 away from the observation area 222. Figure 31 (Corresponding to the front of the canopy 22). And / or, at least one side impact protection block 5 may be provided in the area of ​​the observation area 222 away from the obstruction area 221 (e.g., corresponding to the rear of the canopy 22).

[0385] See Figure 32 The exemplary structure of the side impact protection block 5 shown may, in some embodiments, include a single-piece molded sheet made of a foamed material (e.g., selected from EPS, EPP, EPE, inert memory foam, sponge, or combinations thereof). The side impact protection block 5 can be sewn to the inside of the roof 22. The thickness of the side impact protection block 5 can be between 20mm and 60mm, preferably 40mm. When the roof assembly 200 is folded, the sheet can fold together with the roof 22.

[0386] See also Figure 32 When the sheet-like side impact protection block 5 corresponds to at least two shielding pieces 2211 or at least two observation pieces 2221, the side impact protection block 5 accordingly includes at least two sheet portions 511 and a bend 512 formed between two adjacent sheet portions 511. The dimensions of each sheet portion 511 are, for example, close to the dimensions of the corresponding shielding piece 2211 or observation piece 2221. The bend 512 corresponds to the U-shaped bracket 21, and the bend 512 may include a laterally extending slit to allow the side impact protection block 5 to better fit the arched shape of the protective cover 300 and the canopy 22. Of course, in some embodiments, the sheet-like side impact protection block 5 may include only one sheet portion 511, the shape of which matches the shape of a corresponding shielding piece 2211 or observation piece 2221.

[0387] First aspect, tenth embodiment

[0388] Figure 33 A perspective view of a vehicle 1000 according to a tenth embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown. This vehicle 1000 is primarily a modification of the roof 22 of the roof assembly 200 of the vehicle 1000 provided in any of the above embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the various components and the connection relationships between the components of the vehicle 1000 in this embodiment can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated here.

[0389] See Figure 33A portion of the ceiling 22 (e.g., the shielding area 221) has a ceiling opening 201, and a sealing element 223 is provided at the ceiling opening 201. The sealing element 223 can close or open the ceiling opening 201. When the ceiling opening 201 is open, it does not communicate with the accommodating space 113, but instead exposes the extended observation area 224. The material and function of the extended observation area 224 can be referred to the aforementioned material and function of the observation area 222. When the extended observation area 224 is not needed, the ceiling opening 201 is closed by the sealing element 223, and the extended observation area 224 is then covered by the shielding sheet 2211.

[0390] In some embodiments, the sealing element 223 includes, for example, a zipper strip 2231, a zipper strip 2232, and a zipper pull 2233, wherein the zipper strip 2231 and the zipper strip 2232 are connected by the zipper pull 2233, thereby closing the ceiling opening 201. Figure 33 As can be seen, the zipper strip 2232 is installed on the edge 22111 of the cover plate 2211 used to cover the extended observation area 224, and the edges 22112 adjacent to both ends of the cover plate 2211 and the zipper strip 2232 are separated from the skirt 25. Thus, when the closure 223 fully opens the canopy opening 201, the zipper strip 2231 and zipper strip 2232 separate from each other, and the cover plate 2211 used to cover the extended observation area 224 can be folded downwards to expose the extended observation area 224. It is understood that the implementation of the closure 223 is not limited to the zipper structure described above.

[0391] In addition, in this embodiment, the first connector 41 for connecting with the second connector 32 of the protective cover 300 can be disposed at a suitable position on the skirt 25. The first connector 41 can be, for example, a metal ring or a plastic ring, which can be connected to the skirt 25 by webbing 411.

[0392] See Figures 33 to 35, in this embodiment, the fifth connectors 114 are provided on opposite sides (front and rear sides) of the box body 110. The fifth connectors 114 can be fixed on the seat cloth 150 or can be directly fixed on the box body 110 and exposed by the seat cloth 150. The mating connectors 2335 are provided on corresponding sides (the front part and the rear part of the ceiling 22) of the ceiling 22 of the ceiling assembly 200. The mating connectors 2335 are, for example, more specifically connected to the skirt 25 of the ceiling 22 through the connecting belt 236. The mating connectors 2335 and the corresponding fifth connectors 114 are detachably connected. As described in the fifth embodiment, when the mating connectors 2335 and the fifth connectors 114 are connected, the ceiling assembly 200 remains in the deployed state, and the ceiling 22 closes the top opening 10 of the accommodating body 100. In some embodiments, one of the fifth connectors 114 and the mating connectors 2335 can be a male connector, and the other can be a female connector. When the male connector and the female connector are connected, the ceiling assembly 200 remains in the deployed state. The male connector and the female connector can be, but are not limited to, mutually cooperating magnetic buckle assemblies and buckle assemblies.

[0393] See Figure 34 , when the mating connectors 2335 and the fifth connectors 114 in this embodiment are connected together, there is no need to configure on the mating connectors 2335 Figure 14 the side impact protection blocks 5 protruding outward from the housing of the mating connectors 2335 as shown in, nor is it necessary to additionally change the housing size (such as the thickness and surface area of the housing) of the mating connectors 2335. The mating connectors 2335 located on the front side or the rear side of the accommodating body 100 can itself be used as side impact protection blocks. In some embodiments, the mating connectors 2335, for example, protrude outward from the ceiling frame 211 by a certain distance Q1 (i.e., the first distance), or the mating connectors 2335 protrude outward from the accommodating body 100 (more specifically, from the first bracket 121) by a certain distance Q2 (i.e., the second distance), or the mating connectors 2335 protrude outward from the box body 110 by a certain distance Q3 (i.e., the third distance), where Q1 < Q2 < Q3, so that the mating connectors 2335 can play a better role in side impact protection.

[0394] See Figures 36 to 38 , the structure of the fifth connectors 114 and the connection manner between the fifth connectors 114 and the accommodating body 100 are示例性 shown.

[0395] See Figure 38The housing of the fifth connector 114 includes a first fastening body 1141, two first connecting holes 1140 located on opposite sides of the first fastening body 1141, and two first connecting tongues 1143 extending outward from opposite sides of the first fastening body 1141. A magnetic element may be disposed within the first fastening body 1141. The first fastening body 1141 has a protrusion 1142 in its center, which may be, for example, a circular protrusion. The two first connecting tongues 1143 are adjacent to the two first connecting holes 1140, and the housing of the first fastening body 1141 is integrally injection molded with, for example, the two first connecting tongues 1143.

[0396] See Figure 36 and Figure 37 The fifth connector 114 can be connected to the receiving body 100 via the connecting strap 238. More specifically, the two ends 2380 of the connecting strap 238 pass through the two first connecting holes 1140 from the side of the first fastening body 1141 away from the protrusion 1142 and are then folded over, clamping the two first connecting tongues 1143 inside the connecting strap 238. Then, the first connecting tongues 1143, the connecting strap 238, and the seat fabric 150 are connected together by means such as sewing or riveting. In this embodiment, the connecting strap 238, the first connecting tongues 1143, and the seat fabric 150 are specifically connected together by sewing lines 2381 and 2382. The first connecting tongues 1143 can effectively prevent the fifth connector 114 from flipping around the connecting strap 238, thereby preventing the protrusion 1142 from facing the seat fabric 150 after the fifth connector 114 flips 180°.

[0397] Reference Figure 34 and Figure 39 In some embodiments, a rigid protective sheet 1181 may be provided between the seat fabric 150 and the housing 110, the protective sheet 1181 corresponding to the position of the fifth connector 114. The protective sheet 1181 may be, for example, a rigid sheet, as described in the fifth embodiment regarding rigid sheets. In this way, when the fifth connector 114 is subjected to a side impact, the protective sheet 1181 can quickly disperse the impact force, preventing the impact force from being too concentrated and potentially damaging the housing 110 made of foam material.

[0398] See Figure 39 In some embodiments, the stitching of the connecting tape 238, the first connecting tongue 1143, and the stitches 2381 and 2382 of the seat fabric 150 can also be connected to the protective sheet 1181, thus ensuring the relative position of the protective sheet 1181 and the fifth connecting member 114. In some embodiments, the protective sheet 1181 can be fixed to the padding 1182, for example, the padding 1182 may include a single-layer or multi-layer structure made of fabric. In this embodiment, the protective sheet 1181 ( Figure 39(Seen in dashed lines) For example, the protective sheet 1181 is connected to the padding 1182 via stitch 1081, which runs around the periphery of the protective sheet 1181. In some embodiments, the protective sheet 1181 can be connected to the padding 1182 by adhesive or riveting. In some embodiments, the padding 1182 is close to the housing 110, and the protective sheet 1181 is close to the seat fabric 150. The area of ​​the padding 1182 is not less than the area of ​​the protective sheet 1181, which avoids the protective sheet 1181 directly contacting the housing 110 made of foam material, thus preventing wear on the housing 110. Of course, in some embodiments, the area of ​​the padding 1182 can also be smaller than that of the protective sheet 1181.

[0399] See also Figure 39 In some embodiments, the seat fabric 150 includes, for example, stitches 1501, 1502, 1503, and 1504 arranged sequentially from top to bottom, each stitch used to sew together two adjacent portions (including but not limited to fabric) of the seat fabric 150. Stitch 1502, for example, connects to both the protective sheet 1181 and the padding 1182. The fabric located between stitches 1503 and 1504 corresponds, for example, to the bend between the peripheral wall 112 and the bottom 111 of the housing 110, with the bottom edge of the protective sheet 1181 located, for example, above stitch 1503. In this case, stitch 1081 may be broken at the bottom of the protective sheet 1181 instead of forming a closed loop, so that the padding 1182 can be easily bent and connected to the seat fabric 150 via stitch 1503, while stitch 1503 does not need to be connected to the protective sheet 1181. Of course, in other embodiments, the seat cover 150 may have other implementation methods, and the connection methods between the pad 1182 and the protective sheet 1181, as well as between the pad 1182 and the seat cover 150, are not limited to the examples mentioned above.

[0400] See Figure 40 The example illustrates the structure of the mating connector 2335. The mating connector 2335 includes, for example, a second fastening body 23351, a second connecting hole 23350 located on one side of the second fastening body 23351, and a second connecting tongue 23353 extending outward from the side containing the second connecting hole 23350. A magnetic element may be provided within the second fastening body 23351. The second fastening body 23351 has a recess 23352 in its center, which is used for magnetically engaging with the protrusion 1142 of the first fastening body 1141. (Refer to reference...) Figure 34 and Figure 35The connecting member 2335 can be connected to the skirt 25 via the connecting strap 236. More specifically, the connecting strap 236 passes through the second connecting hole 23350 and has portions located on both sides of the second connecting tongue 23353. The portions of the connecting strap 236 located on both sides of the second connecting tongue 23353 and the second connecting tongue 23353 can be connected together by sewing or riveting. In this embodiment, the connecting strap 236 and the second connecting tongue 23353 are connected by a sewing line 2361.

[0401] See you again Figure 33 and Figure 35 When the mating connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 are connected and subjected to a lateral impact, the middle part of the canopy 22 is securely connected to the canopy locking part 124 of the accommodating body 100 via the canopy locking device 24 (see the second embodiment above). The canopy 22 is relatively easy to separate from the accommodating body 100 from the front or rear. In this embodiment, because the front or rear part of the canopy 22 is connected to the mating connector 2335 via the connecting strap 236, the mating connector 2335 can rotate relative to the fifth connector 114 in the N1 or N2 direction (the connecting strap 236 can limit the rotation angle of the mating connector 2335 in the N1 or N2 direction to less than 90 degrees). This relative rotation can disperse the instantaneous force direction, making it difficult for the mating connector 2335 and the fifth connector 114 to separate, thus preventing the front or rear part of the canopy 22 from separating from the accommodating body 100.

[0402] First aspect, eleventh embodiment

[0403] Figure 41 A partial cross-sectional view of a vehicle 1000 provided according to the eleventh embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle 1000 shown in this embodiment can be referred to the above description. Figure 34 The description of vehicle 1000 shown. It should be noted that... Figure 34 The structure of the vehicle 1000 shown is typically used in small to medium-sized vehicles. For small to medium-sized vehicles, because the housing 100, canopy assembly 200, and protective cover 300 are all small in size and lightweight, a handle 23 can be mounted on the canopy 22, allowing the user to lift the vehicle 1000 using the handle 23. Figure 41 The structure of the vehicle 1000 shown is typically used in medium to large-sized vehicles 1000. For medium to large-sized vehicles, since the housing body 100, canopy assembly 200, and protective cover 300 are all large in size and heavy in weight, handles 29 can be installed on the housing body 100, allowing the user to lift the vehicle 1000 using handles 29.

[0404] See Figure 41A side impact protection block 5 may be provided on the outer side 112a of the peripheral wall 112 of the housing 110. The implementation of the side impact protection block 5 can be referred to the description of the side impact protection block 5 in the eighth embodiment of this aspect. In this embodiment, the position of the side impact protection block 5 corresponds to the fifth connector 114 and the protective plate 1181. The side impact protection block 5 may be made of energy-absorbing foam and located below the first bracket 121. The side impact protection block 5 can further enhance the side impact protection performance of the housing body 100.

[0405] Reference Figure 41 and Figure 44 In some medium to large-sized vehicles 1000, a groove-shaped structure 1112 can be provided on the inner side 112b of the peripheral wall 112 of the housing 110 of the body 100. A buffer block 55 can be installed in the groove-shaped structure 1112, and the buffer block 55 protrudes relative to the inner side 112b. The buffer block 55 is used to buffer the lateral impact between the pet and the housing 110 in the housing space 113. In some embodiments, a rigid sheet 56 can be provided on the inner side 55b of the buffer block 55 facing away from the peripheral wall 112. The rigid sheet 56 can be a plastic sheet made of materials such as PE (polyethylene), PC (polycarbonate), PP (polypropylene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate). In some embodiments, both the buffer block 55 and the rigid sheet 56 can be T-shaped. In addition, for medium and large vehicles 1000, it is not necessary to install a handle on the roof 22, but a rigid handle 29 can be installed on the support device 120, through which the housing body 100 can be moved easily.

[0406] It should be noted that when the canopy 22 is not connected to the housing body 100, the fifth connector 114 and its protrusion 1142 can also be used as a side impact protection block. When the fifth connector 114 is subjected to a side impact, the protrusion 1142 can transmit the impact force to the protective plate 1181, the side impact protection block 5, and the housing 110. The protective plate 1181 can quickly disperse the impact force, the side impact protection block 5 can buffer the impact force and absorb energy, and the housing 110, made of foam material, can also absorb the impact force itself. When the canopy 22 is connected to the housing body 100, it is connected to the fifth connector 114 with the connector 2335. The concave portion 23352 of the connector 2335 and the protrusion 1142 of the fifth connector 114 cooperate to increase the surface area for transmitting the impact force (for a one-piece molded side impact protection block, there is no such transmission transition area), which can improve the transmission and dispersion effect of the impact force. In addition, the interior of the protrusion 1142 may include a metal structure to stabilize the structure of the protrusion 1142, thereby better transmitting impact force.

[0407] In addition, the support device 120 of the housing body 100 can also play a role in side impact protection. For example, when the housing body 100 is subjected to a large side impact and the housing 110 is deformed, the deformed housing 110 transmits the impact force to the support device 120, and can transmit it to the card holder through the third support 123 of the support device 120.

[0408] First aspect, twelfth embodiment

[0409] Figures 45 to 47 A perspective view of a protective cover 300 provided according to the twelfth embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown. Figure 48 The internal structure of the cover 31 of the protective cover 300 is shown. Figure 49 and Figure 50 A perspective view of two impact protectors 311 is shown. The protective cover 300 provided in this embodiment functions the same as the protective cover 300 in the first embodiment; the protective cover 300 is used to shield at least a portion of the canopy assembly 200 of the vehicle 1000 to improve the impact resistance of the shielded area of ​​the canopy assembly 200. Furthermore, similar to the first embodiment, the "protective cover" in this embodiment can also serve as an example or part of a "protective device".

[0410] See Figures 45 to 47 The protective cover 300 may include a cover body 31 and at least one second connector 32. The cover body 31 extends laterally (i.e., in the left-right direction of the accommodating body 100) to laterally cover the front or rear of the canopy assembly 200. In this embodiment, the cover body 31 has a shape that is narrow at both ends and wide in the middle. Two hooks are provided at both ends of the cover body 31, and the two hooks are used as two second connectors 32. The two second connectors 32 are used to detachably connect to two first connectors 41 on the accommodating body 100 or the canopy assembly 200. As can be seen from the description of the first embodiment above, the implementation of the second connector 32 is not limited to hooks.

[0411] See Figure 45 and Figure 47The cover 31 includes an outer fabric layer 301 and an inner fabric layer 302. When the protective cover 300 is in use, the cover 31 is arched, with the outer fabric layer 301 facing away from the ceiling assembly 200 and the inner fabric layer 302 facing the ceiling assembly 200. Both the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 can be made of fabric. In some embodiments, both the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 can be made of multiple fabric pieces spliced ​​together. In this embodiment, the outer fabric layer 301 can be made of fabric pieces 3a, 3b, and 3c spliced ​​together. Fabric piece 3c corresponds, for example, to the skirt 35 of the cover 31, and the second connector 32 is connected to fabric piece 3c, for example. The two ends of fabric piece 3a are connected to the two ends of fabric piece 3c, and fabric piece 3b is connected between fabric pieces 3a and 3c. The inner fabric layer 302 can be made of fabric pieces 3d and 3e spliced ​​together. In some embodiments, fabric piece 3d corresponds, for example, to fabric piece 3a, and fabric piece 3e corresponds, for example, to fabric pieces 3b and 3c. Of course, in other embodiments, the implementation of the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 is not limited to those described above.

[0412] See Figure 48 The outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 define one or more receiving spaces 313, within which one or more impact protectors 311 are installed. Figure 48 The outlines of each impact protector 311 are shown in dashed lines. The size of the outer contour of each impact protector 311 corresponds, for example, to the size of the corresponding receiving space 313. When the protective cover 300 is in use, each impact protector 311 of the protective cover 300 can provide better impact protection for the roof assembly 200.

[0413] See also Figure 48 and in conjunction with references Figure 34In some embodiments, when the protective cover 300 is matched with a small to medium-sized vehicle 1000, the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 define, for example, two receiving spaces 313. The two receiving spaces 313 are a first receiving space 3131 and a second receiving space 3132, both extending generally laterally and arranged sequentially longitudinally. The first receiving space 3131 corresponds, for example, to the area covered by the fabric piece 3d, and the second receiving space 3132 corresponds, for example, to the area covered by the fabric piece 3e. Two impact protectors 311 are provided within the two receiving spaces 313, namely, a first impact protector 3111 and a second impact protector 3112. The first impact protector 3111 is located within the first receiving space 3131, and the second impact protector 3112 is located within the second receiving space 3132. The two receiving spaces 313 are separated by a structure such as a stitch 317 or adhesive thread connecting the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302. In this way, each impact protector 311 is located in its corresponding receiving space 313 and is not easily displaced into other receiving spaces 313. In some embodiments, the stitch 317 extends, for example, along the junction of fabric piece 3d and fabric piece 3e.

[0414] See Figure 48 and Figure 49 In some embodiments, the first impact protector 3111 may have a single-layer structure, for example, made of a single-layer sheet. The first impact protector 3111 extends laterally to provide impact protection while also supporting the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302. The single-layer sheet may be a soft sheet made of a cushioning material. In some embodiments, the soft sheet may be made of a foam material, such as EPP, EPS, EPO (expanded polystyrene-polyethylene mixture), EPE, etc. In some embodiments, the soft sheet may be made of foam (e.g., inert memory foam). Of course, in other embodiments, the first impact protector 3111 as a whole may have a multi-layer structure, or the lateral middle region of the first impact protector 3111 (corresponding to the lateral middle region of the cover 31) may have a multi-layer structure. The multi-layer structure may be formed by stacking multiple layers of sheets, which may include at least one soft sheet and at least one rigid sheet, or all multiple sheets may be either soft or rigid sheets. Adjacent sheets can be secured together with adhesive, or multiple sheets can be bound together with strips. Of course, in some embodiments, the first impact protector 3111 can also be made of a single layer of rigid sheet, such as a plastic sheet.

[0415] See Figure 48 and Figure 50At least a portion of the second anti-collision body 3112 may have a multi-layered structure to at least locally enhance its anti-collision protection effect. Of course, in some embodiments, the second anti-collision body 3112 may also be a single-layer soft sheet or a single-layer hard sheet. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the second anti-collision body 3112 may have a multi-layered structure overall. For specific implementations of the multi-layered structure, please refer to the description above regarding the multi-layered structure of the first anti-collision body 3111.

[0416] In this embodiment, considering that when the pet's head is below the protective cover 300, the lateral middle area of ​​the second anti-collision body 3112 is close to the pet's head and is more susceptible to impact, a middle anti-collision part 3110 is provided in the lateral middle area of ​​the second anti-collision body 3112. The middle anti-collision part 3110 has a multi-layer structure, which can locally enhance the anti-collision protection effect of the lateral middle area of ​​the second anti-collision body 3112 and effectively reduce costs.

[0417] Figure 50 An exemplary embodiment of the second bumper 3112 is shown. The second bumper 3112 includes a laterally extending sheet 31121, a sheet 31122 disposed in the lateral middle region of the sheet 31121, and a sheet 31123 disposed on the sheet 31122. Both sheets 31121 and 31122 can be soft sheets, while sheet 31123 can be a rigid sheet. The multi-layer structure of the intermediate bumper portion 3110 includes sheets 31121, 31122, and 31123 stacked together, with adjacent sheets fixed together, for example, by adhesive. Sheet 31121 is adjacent to the outer fabric layer 301, and sheet 31123 is adjacent to the inner fabric layer 302. The outer contour of sheet 31121 corresponds to the size of the second receiving space 3132. The laterally extending sheet 31121 supports the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 while giving the outer fabric layer 301 a relatively flat appearance. The periphery of sheet 31122, for example, does not extend relative to sheet 31121. The periphery of sheet 31123, for example, does not extend relative to sheet 31122, thus preventing the edges of the rigid sheet 31123 from wearing through the inner fabric layer 302 under pressure. Of course, in some embodiments, the periphery of sheet 31123 may also extend from sheet 31122, that is, the size of sheet 31123 may be larger than sheet 31122. In some embodiments, the corners of sheet 31123 are rounded. In some embodiments, the central anti-collision portion 3110 has a portion extending to the skirt 35, which can provide side impact protection.

[0418] In some embodiments, sheet 31121 may be made of a foamed material, such as EPP, EPS, EPO (expanded polystyrene-polyethylene blend), EPE, etc. Sheet 31122 may be made of foam (e.g., inert memory foam). Sheet 31123 may be a plastic sheet. In some embodiments, the rigid plastic sheet may be made of materials such as PE (polyethylene), PC (polycarbonate), PP (polypropylene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), etc. When sheet 31123 is a rigid sheet, when a pet collides with sheet 31123, sheet 31123 can disperse the impact force, preventing the impact force from being too concentrated.

[0419] Figure 51 and Figure 52 It shows Figure 50 The second anti-collision body 3112 shown is a variant embodiment. Figure 53 A partial cross-sectional view of a vehicle 1000 configured with a protective shield 300 including the second crash barrier 3112 is shown. See also Figure 51 and Figure 52 In a modified embodiment of the second anti-collision body 3112, a sheet 31122 is provided in the transverse middle region of the sheet 31121, a sheet 31123 is provided on the sheet 31122, a sheet 31124 is provided on the sheet 31123, and a sheet 31125 is provided on the sheet 31124.

[0420] In some embodiments, adjacent sheets of the second bumper 3112 are fixed together, for example, by adhesive. Sheet 31121 is, for example, a soft sheet (including but not limited to EPP board). The lateral dimension of sheet 31122 may be smaller than the lateral dimension of sheet 31121, and the longitudinal dimension of sheet 31122 is not greater than the longitudinal dimension of sheet 31121. The material of sheet 31122 is, for example, the same as the material of sheet 31124, both being soft sheets with a greater thickness (including but not limited to foam board). The material of sheet 31123 is, for example, the same as the material of sheet 31125, both being rigid sheets with a lesser thickness (including but not limited to PE board). The size of sheet 31123 may be smaller than the size of sheet 31122. The lateral dimension of sheet 31124 may be greater than the lateral dimension of sheet 31123, but not greater than the lateral dimension of sheet 31122. The size of sheet 31125 may be smaller than the size of sheet 31124. Reference Figures 51 to 53 The second anti-collision body 3112 is, for example, stepped, and the sheet 31124 is located above the box 110 in the longitudinal direction, corresponding to the upper position of the sheet 31121.

[0421] Of course, the implementation of the second anti-collision body 3112 is not limited to the examples above. See also Figure 54 and Figure 55 In some alternative embodiments, at least one of the upper and lower ends of the individual sheets of the second bumper 3112 may have a flush shape. Figure 54 In the middle, the upper ends of each sheet of the second anti-collision body 3112 are flush. Figure 55 In the middle, the upper and lower ends of each sheet of the second anti-collision body 3112 are flush.

[0422] In some embodiments, both sheet 31123 and sheet 31125 may have rounded corners to prevent the edges of the rigid sheet 31123 from wearing through the inner fabric layer 302 under pressure. For example, the periphery of sheet 31123 does not extend beyond the periphery of sheet 31122, and the periphery of sheet 31125 does not extend beyond the periphery of sheet 31124. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, at least a portion of the periphery of sheet 31123 may extend beyond the periphery of sheet 31122, and at least a portion of the periphery of sheet 31125 may extend beyond the periphery of sheet 31124.

[0423] First aspect, thirteenth embodiment

[0424] Figures 56 to 58 A perspective view of a protective cover 300 provided according to the thirteenth embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown. Figure 59 Schematic illustration Figure 58 The internal structure of the protective shield is shown. Figures 60 to 62 A perspective view of three impact protectors 311 is shown. The protective cover 300 provided in this embodiment is a variation of the protective cover 300 provided in the twelfth embodiment described above. The following mainly describes the differences between the protective cover 300 of this embodiment and the protective cover 300 of the twelfth embodiment. In addition, the "protective cover" of this embodiment can also serve as an example or part of a "protective device".

[0425] See Figures 56 to 58The protective cover 300 has a cover body 31 comprising an outer fabric layer 301 and an inner fabric layer 302. The outer fabric layer can be formed by splicing fabric pieces 3f, 3g, 3h, and 3i. Fabric piece 3i corresponds, for example, to the skirt 35 of the cover body 31, and a second connector 32 is connected to fabric piece 3i, for example. The two ends of fabric piece 3f are connected to the two ends of fabric piece 3i. Fabric pieces 3g and 3h are arranged longitudinally and connected between fabric pieces 3f and 3i. The inner fabric layer 302 can be formed by splicing fabric pieces 3j, 3k, and 3m. The two ends of fabric piece 3j are connected to the two ends of fabric piece 3m, and fabric piece 3k is connected between fabric pieces 3j and 3m. In some embodiments, fabric piece 3j corresponds, for example, to fabric piece 3f; fabric piece 3k corresponds, for example, to fabric pieces 3g and 3h; and fabric piece 3m corresponds, for example, to fabric piece 3i. Of course, in other embodiments, the implementation of the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 is not limited to those described above.

[0426] See Figure 59 and in conjunction with references Figures 41 to 43 In some embodiments, when the protective cover 300 is matched with a large medium-to-large vehicle 1000, the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302 define, for example, three receiving spaces 313. The three receiving spaces 313 are a third receiving space 3133, a fourth receiving space 3134, and a fifth receiving space 3135. All three receiving spaces 313 extend laterally and are arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction. The third receiving space 3133 corresponds, for example, to the area covered by the fabric piece 3j, the fourth receiving space 3134 corresponds, for example, to the area covered by the fabric piece 3k, and the fifth receiving space 3135 corresponds, for example, to the area covered by the fabric piece 3m.

[0427] Three impact barriers 311 are installed within the three containment spaces 313. Figure 59 (The outlines of each impact protector 311 are shown in dashed lines). The three impact protectors 311 are the third impact protector 3113, the fourth impact protector 3114, and the fifth impact protector 3115. The third impact protector 3113 is located within the third receiving space 3133, the fourth impact protector 3114 is located within the fourth receiving space 3134, and the fifth impact protector 3115 is located within the fifth receiving space 3135. The outer contour size of each impact protector 311 corresponds, for example, to the size of the corresponding receiving space 313. Adjacent receiving spaces 313 are separated, for example, by structures such as stitch lines 318, 319, or adhesive threads connecting the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302. In some embodiments, stitch lines 318 extend along the connection between fabric pieces 3j and 3k, and stitch lines 319 extend along the connection between fabric piece 3m and fabric pieces 3j and 3k.

[0428] See Figure 59 and Figure 60 and in conjunction with references Figure 41 The third impact protector 3113 can adopt a single-layer structure, thus achieving a good impact protection effect. The single-layer third impact protector 3113 can be a single-layer soft sheet or a single-layer hard sheet. Specific implementations of single-layer soft or hard sheets can be found in the description of the first impact protector 3111 in the twelfth embodiment. In this embodiment, the third impact protector 3113, for example, uses a laterally extending single-layer soft sheet. Of course, in some embodiments, the lateral middle region of the third impact protector 3113 can have a multi-layer structure to locally enhance the impact resistance of the lateral middle portion of the third impact protector 3113. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the third impact protector 3113 can also be a multi-layer structure as a whole. Specific implementations of multi-layer structures can be found in the description of multi-layer structures in the twelfth embodiment.

[0429] See Figure 59 and Figure 61 and in conjunction with references Figure 41 and Figure 42 In some embodiments, the fourth impact protector 3114 as a whole, or in the transverse middle region of the fourth impact protector 3114, has a multi-layered structure to at least locally enhance the impact resistance of the fourth impact protector 3114. Specific implementations of the multi-layered structure can be found in the description of the multi-layered structure in the twelfth embodiment.

[0430] In this embodiment, the fourth impact protector 3114 may include sheet 31141, sheet 31142, and sheet 31143. Sheet 31141 is located near the outer fabric 301, and sheet 31143 is located near the inner fabric 302. Sheet 31141 may be a soft sheet, and its material may be, for example, but not limited to, EPP. Sheet 31141 extends laterally within the fourth receiving space 3134, and its outer contour size corresponds, for example, to the size of the corresponding fourth receiving space 3134, to support the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302, and to give the outer fabric layer 301 a flat appearance. Sheet 31142 may also be a soft sheet, and its material may be, for example, but not limited to, inert memory foam. The area of ​​sheet 31142 may be smaller than that of sheet 31141, for example, by being fixed to the lateral middle position of sheet 31141 with adhesive. Sheet 31143 can be a rigid sheet. When a pet collides with sheet 31143, the rigid sheet 31143 can disperse the impact force and prevent the impact force from being too concentrated.

[0431] In some embodiments, the outer contour size of the sheet 31143 corresponds, for example, to the size of the fourth receiving space 3134, and the sheet 31143 has a shape that is narrow at both ends and wide in the middle. Depending on actual needs, multiple sheets of the fourth bumper 3114 can be stacked together without being fixed to each other by adhesives or other means, or at least a portion of adjacent sheets of the fourth bumper 3114 can be fixed together by adhesives. For example, in some embodiments, when the protective cover 300 is matched with a smaller-sized receiving body 100 and canopy assembly 200, the size of the protective cover 300 is also smaller, and all or at least a portion of the adjacent sheets of the fourth bumper 3114 can be fixed together by adhesives. When the smaller-sized protective cover 300 is compressed or bent, the multiple sheets of the fourth bumper 3114 fixed by adhesives are less likely to detach. When the protective cover 300 is matched with the larger-sized housing body 100 and canopy assembly 200, the size of the protective cover 300 is also larger. A portion of the sheet material (e.g., but not limited to rigid sheet material) of the fourth impact protector 3114 can be stacked together with at least one adjacent sheet material without being fixed together by adhesives or other means. This prevents the rigid sheet material from deforming and detaching from the adjacent sheet material when the protective cover 300 is squeezed or bent. The fourth impact protector 3114 can be configured with multiple sheet material connections according to actual needs, allowing the fourth impact protector 3114 to better fit and support the outer and inner fabric layers of the protective cover 300, avoiding wrinkles.

[0432] In some embodiments, the two ends of the sheet 31143 are respectively provided with notches 31140 extending towards the middle of the sheet 31143. The notches 31140 provide deformation allowance for the sheet 31143 to avoid wrinkles that would cause unevenness in the protective cover 300. In some embodiments, the corners of the sheet 31143 are rounded to avoid puncturing the inner fabric layer 302. And, in some embodiments, the periphery of the sheet 31143 does not extend relative to the sheet 31141, for example, to prevent the edges of the rigid sheet 31143 from wearing through the inner fabric layer 302 when subjected to pressure.

[0433] See Figure 61 and Figure 63 In some embodiments, a laterally extending slit 311420 may be provided in the middle of the sheet 31142. The slit 311420 can deform according to the shape change of the sheet 31143, thereby facilitating a better fit between the soft sheet 31142 and the hard sheet 31143, as well as a better fit between the sheet 31142 and the sheet 31141, so that the fourth anti-collision body 3114 can fit better into the arched shape of the protective cover 300 and the canopy 22.

[0434] See Figure 59 , Figure 61 and Figure 63In some embodiments, when the same bumper 311 comprises multiple sheets, and some of these sheets are not fixed together, at least one spacer layer 315 can be provided in the receiving space 313 that houses the multiple sheets. This spacer layer 315 is an intermediate fabric layer located between the inner fabric layer 302 and the outer fabric layer 301, and can be a lining fabric. The spacer layer 315 can divide the receiving space 313 into at least two layered spaces, and the sheets not fixed together are respectively installed into the corresponding layered spaces. Each spacer layer 315 helps to locate the positions of the sheets not fixed together. Specifically, in this embodiment, a spacer layer 315 can be provided in the fourth receiving space 3134, dividing the fourth receiving space 3134 into layered spaces 31341 and 31342. Sheets 31141 and 31142, which are fixed together, are housed in layered space 31341, while sheet 31143 is housed in layered space 31342. Of course, in some embodiments, the spacer 315 may not be provided in the receiving space 313. The anti-collision body 311 corresponding to the receiving space 313 without the spacer 315 may include multiple sheets. The multiple sheets may not be bonded to each other, or may be bonded in sequence, or may be partially bonded and partially unbonded. The anti-collision body 311 may be directly received in the receiving space 313 without the spacer 315.

[0435] See Figure 59 and Figure 62 and in conjunction with references Figure 41 and Figure 43 When the protective cover 300 is in use, the skirt 35 wraps around the outside of the top opening 10 of the accommodating body 100. The fifth impact protector 3115 corresponds to the skirt 35. In some embodiments, the fifth impact protector 3115 may have a single-layer structure, such as a single-layer soft sheet or a single-layer hard sheet. Specific embodiments of the single-layer soft sheet or single-layer hard sheet can be found in the description of the first impact protector 3111 in the twelfth embodiment. In some embodiments, the fifth impact protector 3115 may also have a multi-layer structure overall or a multi-layer structure in the transverse middle region. Specific embodiments of the multi-layer structure can be found in the description of the multi-layer structure in the twelfth embodiment of this aspect. By making the transverse middle region of the fifth impact protector 3115 a multi-layer structure, the fifth impact protector 3115 can also provide side impact protection.

[0436] See Figure 62Specifically, in this embodiment, the fifth anti-collision body 3115 may include a laterally extending sheet 31151, a sheet 31152 stacked on the lateral middle region of the sheet 31151, and a sheet 31153 stacked on the sheet 31152. The sheet 31151 is located, for example, near the outer fabric layer 301, and its outer contour corresponds to the size of the fifth receiving space 3135, thus supporting the outer fabric layer 301 and the inner fabric layer 302. The sheet 31153 is located, for example, near the inner fabric layer 302.

[0437] The individual sheets (sheets 31151, 31152, and 31153) of the fifth impact protection body 3115 can be fixed together by adhesive, or the individual sheets can be bound together by strips 31154. Sheets 31151 and 31153 can be soft sheets of the same material, such as, but not limited to, EPP. Sheet 31152 can also be a soft sheet, such as, but not limited to, inert memory foam. In some embodiments, the materials of sheets 31151, 31152, and 31153 can be the same or completely different.

[0438] Figure 64 and Figure 65 It shows Figure 61 A variant embodiment of the fourth anti-collision body 3114 shown. See also Figure 64 and Figure 65 The rigid sheet 31143 may also include sheets 31145 and 31146, both of which are, for example, soft sheets. Sheet 31145 is, for example, fixed to sheet 31143 by adhesive, and sheet 31146 is, for example, fixed to sheet 31145 by adhesive. The material of sheet 31145 is, for example, the same as that of sheet 31142 (including but not limited to foam), and the material of sheet 31146 is, for example, the same as that of sheet 31141 (including but not limited to EPP board). A notch 31140 divides sheet 31143 into upper and lower parts, namely upper part 311431 and lower part 311432, which are connected at the middle of their transverse direction. Lower part 311432 is closer to the skirt 35 than upper part 311431. See also Figures 64 to 66 Sheets 31145 and 31146 are located, for example, in the lateral middle position of the lower portion 311432, and may have a middle protrusion 31147 extending upward from the upper portion 311431, which does not obstruct the notch 31140 so as not to affect the sheet 31143 from deforming to adapt to the shape of the protective cover.

[0439] Figure 66 and Figure 67 It shows Figure 64 The fourth anti-collision body 3114 shown is a modified embodiment. (By...) Figure 66 and Figure 67 As can be seen, in addition to sheets 31145 and 31146 in the lower part 311432, sheets 31148 and 31149 are also provided in the middle of the horizontal direction in the upper part 311431. Sheets 31148 and 31149 are, for example, both soft sheets. Sheet 31148 is, for example, fixed to the upper part 311431 with adhesive, and sheet 31149 is, for example, fixed to sheet 31148 with adhesive. The material of sheet 31148 is, for example, the same as that of sheet 31145. The material of sheet 31149 is, for example, the same as that of sheet 31146.

[0440] First aspect, fourteenth embodiment

[0441] Figure 68 A partial cross-sectional view of a vehicle 1000 provided according to a fourteenth embodiment of the first aspect of this disclosure is shown, the vehicle 1000 being fitted with a protective cover 300, the protective cover 300 including... Figure 60 The third anti-collision body 3113 shown Figure 64 The fourth anti-collision body 3114 shown, and Figure 62 The fifth anti-collision body 3115 is shown. Unless otherwise specified, the structure of the vehicle 1000 provided in this embodiment can be referred to the above description. Figure 41 The description of vehicle 1000 shown will not be repeated here.

[0442] It should be noted that the carrier 1000 provided in any embodiment of this disclosure (including but not limited to the fifth to tenth embodiments) can be configured with the protective cover 300 provided in the embodiments of this disclosure. The structure of the protective cover 300 and its cooperation with the housing body 100 and the canopy assembly 200 can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated here. It can be understood that the protective cover 300 only needs to be able to connect with the housing body 100 and / or the canopy assembly to cover at least a portion of the canopy assembly (preferably the front and / or rear of the canopy assembly) when the canopy assembly is in the unfolded state. The protective cover 300 can be, but is not limited to, the specific implementations exemplified in the above embodiments.

[0443] The second aspect of this disclosure provides a mobility device, a vehicle thereof, and a protective device, various specific embodiments of which will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0444] First, in the context of the second aspect of this disclosure, the mobility device includes a vehicle and a protective device for carrying and restraining an animal (such as a pet) therein. When viewed from the top of the vehicle, the vehicle may be generally rectangular, having a longitudinal axis / direction (indicated by arrow A in the figure) and a lateral axis / direction (indicated by arrow B in the figure). In this disclosure, the vehicle may be exemplarily arranged and mounted on the rear seat of a vehicle such that the longitudinal axis of the vehicle is parallel to the vehicle seat, i.e., its lateral axis is parallel to the direction of travel of the vehicle (direction B6). The protective device provides the mobility device with improved impact resistance to prevent the animal restrained therein from being impacted or injured by a side collision, which may be caused by being struck by an external object in an accident or by a sudden change in the speed or direction of the vehicle while in motion. It should be noted that the "side impact protection block" and / or "buffer block" and / or "crash protector" and / or "protective shield" in the various embodiments of the first aspect described above can also be considered examples of protective devices.

[0445] Second aspect, first embodiment

[0446] Please refer to Figure 69 , Figure 69 This is a schematic perspective view of a mobility device 61 according to a first embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure. The mobility device 61 includes a vehicle 6100 for accommodating an animal therein, and a protective device 6101 attached to the side of the vehicle 6100. According to the present disclosure, the vehicle 6100 can be mounted to a base (not shown) disposed in a vehicle. According to the present disclosure, the protective device 6101 can be configured as a buffer structure capable of absorbing energy or impact due to a side collision or a sudden change in the vehicle's direction or speed. In this way, the animal can be stably supported in the vehicle 6100 so that it does not sway or move therein, and the vehicle 6100 can have improved impact resistance to protect the animal therein from injury.

[0447] As described above, in this disclosure, the vehicle 6100 can be mounted to a base (not shown) disposed in a vehicle. To avoid obscuring this disclosure, how the vehicle is mounted to the base is not specifically shown herein.

[0448] In this embodiment, the carrier 6100 includes a box portion 6102 (also referred to as a "box body" and optionally includes a "seat cover" covering the outside of the box body), a canopy portion 6104 (e.g., may be as or include a "canopy assembly" as described in the first aspect above, i.e., may include a "canopy frame" and a "canopy"), and a carrying handle 6106. The box portion 6102 defines a containment space for an animal. The canopy portion 6104 is detachably attached to the box portion 6102 of the carrier 6100. The carrying handle 6106 is pivotally and detachably connected at both ends to opposite sides of the box portion 6102. The carrier 6100 also includes a support assembly (also referred to as a "support device") 6108 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 6102, through which the carrier 6100 can be mounted to a base (not shown) disposed in a vehicle. It should also be noted that, similar to the first aspect, the "box portion" and "support assembly" in the various embodiments of the second aspect can also be considered as components of the "accommodating body". That is, the accommodating body may include the box portion and the support assembly, which will not be elaborated further below.

[0449] When viewed from the top of the box portion 6102, the box portion 6102 may be rectangular in shape, defined by a pair of opposing long sides extending in the longitudinal direction A6 and a pair of opposing short sides extending in the transverse direction B6. In this embodiment, the protective device 6101 may be attached to the vehicle 6100 at a side corresponding to one of the short sides. In an alternative embodiment, the protective device 6101 may alternatively or additionally be attached to the vehicle 6100 at a side corresponding to one of the long sides, which will refer to Figures 85A to 85C and Figures 86A to 86C The illustrated embodiments will be described in further detail.

[0450] In this embodiment, the canopy portion 6104 is dome-shaped. The canopy portion 6104 has a lower periphery 6104A (which may also serve as or be provided with a "canopy frame," see, for example, the corresponding portion in the first aspect), which corresponds to the upper periphery 6102A of the box portion 6102. The canopy portion 6104 can be detachably attached to the upper periphery 6102A of the box portion 6102 at its lower periphery 6104A. In this embodiment, the canopy portion 6104 can be attached to the box portion 6102 via, for example, a fastener assembly 6110 (which may also be considered an example of a "canopy locking part"). As shown in the figure, the canopy portion 6104 is foldable, folding from its opposite short sides to the center (or from the center to the opposite short sides), so that in the folded state, the box portion 6102 is not covered by the canopy portion 6104, or in the unfolded state, the box portion 6102 is closed by the canopy portion 6104. When the canopy portion 6104 is in the folded state, the interior of the box portion 6102 is open and accessible to animals. See below for further details. Figures 87 to 93 Further explanation of the structure of the canopy of the vehicle according to this disclosure.

[0451] In this embodiment, the protective device 6101 is formed as a plate-like member. As described above, the protective device 6101 is attached to the vehicle 6100 at a side corresponding to one of its short sides. Preferably, the protective device 6101 is attached to the vehicle 6100 in such a way that it can be located between the vehicle 6100 and the vehicle's rear door (not shown). In this way, the vehicle 6100 can be prevented from colliding with the rear door, or animals confined in the vehicle 6100 can be prevented from being impacted or injured due to side collisions or sudden changes in the vehicle's speed or direction during travel.

[0452] Second aspect, second embodiment

[0453] Please refer to Figure 70 , Figure 70 A side view of a mobility device 62 according to a second embodiment of a second aspect of this disclosure is schematically shown. The mobility device 62 includes a vehicle 6200 and a protective device 6201 attached to the side of the vehicle 6200. The structure and configuration of the vehicle 6200 are similar to... Figure 69 The carrier 6100 shown has a similar structure and construction, including a box portion 6202, a canopy portion 6204 detachably attached to the box portion 6202 via a fastener assembly 6210, a carrying handle 6206 detachably and pivotally connected to the opposite side of the box portion 6202, and a support assembly 6208 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 6202. In this embodiment, the carrier 6200 has a first attachment portion 6212 on one outer side of the box portion 6202. The protective device 6201 is mainly composed of a plate-shaped body 6203 (also referred to as a "protective body") made of energy-absorbing or impact-absorbing material. The protective device 6201 has a second attachment portion 6205 on the plate-shaped body 6203, which corresponds to the first attachment portion 6212 of the carrier 6200. In this embodiment, the protective device 6201 is attached to the carrier 6200 in cooperation with the first attachment portion 6212 and the second attachment portion 6205. In this embodiment, the protective device 6201 can be pushed to attach to the carrier 6200 along the longitudinal direction A6. It should be noted that the "first attachment portion" and "second attachment portion" in the second aspect of this disclosure can be referred to as "connecting device," or as an example or part of a "connecting device." In addition, it should be noted that the "plate-like body" described in this aspect refers to a body with a certain thickness, and is not limited to a "plate" shape. For example, it can also have a spherical shape or an uneven shape with different thicknesses, etc.

[0454] Please refer to Figure 70A and Figure 70B , Figure 70A and Figure 70B This is a perspective view schematically showing the various attachment portions of the protection device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0455] like Figure 70A As shown, the second attachment portion constructed on the plate-shaped body 6203A can be a hook and loop tape, or a so-called hook and loop fastener, a so-called contact fastener, and a so-called Velcro strap. More specifically, the second attachment portion can be the hook face portion 6205A of the hook and loop tape, while the first attachment portion of the carrier (not shown) can correspondingly be the toroidal portion (or vice versa). In this way, the protective device 6201A can be attached to the carrier via the toroidal portion (first attachment portion) and the hook face portion 6205A (second attachment portion).

[0456] Alternatively, such as Figure 70B As shown, the second attachment portion constructed on the plate-shaped body 6203B can be a magnetic component 6205B (i.e., the first magnetic component), and the first attachment portion of the carrier (not shown) can be a corresponding magnetic component (i.e., the second magnetic component), so that the protective device 6201B can be attached to the carrier by the magnetic attraction between the first and second magnetic components. Figure 70B In one embodiment, the protective device 6201B is shown to include two magnetic components 6205B as second attachment portions; however, this disclosure is not limited thereto. In alternative embodiments, the number of second attachment portions of the protective device can vary, and the number of first attachment portions of the carrier can vary accordingly. Furthermore, the number of first attachment portions can also differ from the number of second attachment portions; for example, one first attachment portion can correspond to two or more second attachment portions, or two or more attachment portions can correspond to one second attachment portion, etc., that is, as long as the first and second attachment portions can cooperate with each other to attach the protective device 6201B to the carrier.

[0457] Second aspect, third embodiment

[0458] Please refer to Figure 71 , Figure 71 A side view of a mobility device 63 according to a third embodiment of a second aspect of this disclosure is schematically shown. The mobility device 63 includes a vehicle 6300 and a protective device 6301 attached to the vehicle 6300 to provide improved impact resistance to the vehicle 6300. The structure and configuration of the vehicle 6300 are similar to... Figure 69 The vehicle 6100 shown and Figure 70Similar to the vehicle 6200 shown, it includes a box portion 6302 with a fastener assembly 6310, a canopy portion 6304 detachably attached to the box portion 6302, a carrying handle 6306 detachably and pivotally connected to the opposite side of the box portion 6302, and a support assembly 6308 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 6302.

[0459] The difference between carrier 6300 and carrier 6200 lies in that, in this embodiment, the first attachment portion of carrier 6300 is formed as a recess 6312. Correspondingly, the second attachment portion of protective device 6301 is formed as a protrusion or block 6305 that mates with the recess 6312 of carrier 6300. In this embodiment, protective device 6301 can be attached to carrier 6300 by an interference fit between the protrusion or block 6305 and the recess 6312. In this embodiment, protective device 6301 can be pushed to attach to carrier 6300 along the longitudinal direction A6.

[0460] Second aspect, fourth embodiment

[0461] Please refer to Figure 72 , Figure 72 A side view of a mobility device 64 according to a fourth embodiment of a second aspect of this disclosure is schematically shown. The mobility device 64 includes a vehicle 6400 and a protective device 6401 attached to the vehicle 6400 to provide improved impact resistance to the vehicle 6400. The structure and construction of the vehicle 6400 are similar to... Figure 71 Similar to the vehicle 6300 shown, it includes a box portion 6402 with a fastener assembly 6410, a canopy portion 6404 detachably attached to the box portion 6402, a carrying handle 6406 detachably and pivotally connected to the opposite side of the box portion 6402, and a support assembly 6408 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 6402.

[0462] The difference between vehicle 6400 and vehicle 6300 lies in that vehicle 6400 according to this embodiment is provided with a first attachment portion having a specific shape or profile different from the first attachment portion of vehicle 6300. This corresponds to the specific profile of the second attachment portion of protective device 6401. More specifically, the second attachment portion 6405 formed on the plate-like body 6403 of protective device 6401 is formed with a curled end. The first attachment portion 6412 of vehicle 6400 is formed as a recess having a profile corresponding to the curled end of the second attachment portion 6405. In this embodiment, protective device 6401 can be attached to vehicle 6400 in the lateral direction of the vehicle, i.e., parallel to the direction from the front to the rear of the vehicle. Using its curled end, the second attachment portion 6405 can engage with the first attachment portion 6412 of the vehicle 6400 in a relatively secure manner, thereby further securing the attachment of the protective device 6401 to the vehicle 6400. In this embodiment, the protective device 6401 can be pushed along the lateral direction B6, from the front seat to the rear seat of the vehicle, to attach to the vehicle 6400.

[0463] Second aspect, fifth embodiment

[0464] Please refer to Figures 73A to 73C , Figures 73A to 73C This is a schematic side view of a mobility device 65 according to a fifth embodiment of the second aspect of this disclosure. The mobility device 65 includes a vehicle 6500 and a protective device 6501 attached to the vehicle 6500 to provide improved impact resistance to the vehicle 6500. The vehicle 6500 has a structure and configuration similar to the vehicles 6100, 6200, 6300 and 6400 described above, including a box portion 6502 with a fastener assembly 6510, a canopy portion 6504 detachably attached to the box portion 6502, a carrying handle 6506 detachably and pivotally connected to the opposite side of the box portion 6502, and a support assembly 6508 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 6502.

[0465] refer to Figure 73AThe protective device 6501 of the travel device 65 includes a plate-shaped body 6503 made of energy-absorbing or impact-absorbing material. The plate-shaped body 6503 is connected to a guide member 6507 at its underside via a pivot 6505, allowing the plate-shaped body 6503 to pivot relative to the guide member 6507. One end of the guide member 6507 is connected to the plate-shaped body 6503 via the pivot 6505, and the distal end (i.e., the other end) of the guide member 6507 is secured to the outer bottom of the housing portion 6502 of the vehicle 6500 via a connecting portion 6509. In this embodiment, the guide member 6507 is arranged in the space defined between the outer bottom of the housing portion 6502 and the support assembly 6508. It should be noted that the "guide member 6507" and "pivot 6505" in this embodiment can be considered as an example or part of a "connection device".

[0466] like Figure 73A As shown, when the protective device 6501 is attached to the vehicle 6500 to provide impact resistance, the plate-shaped body 6503, and thus the protective device 6501, pivots to an upright position and is pushed along the longitudinal direction A6 to attach to the vehicle 6500. The attached protective device 6501 is positioned between the vehicle 6500 and the vehicle's rear door to prevent the vehicle 6500 from accidentally impacting the vehicle's rear door (not shown) due to a side collision or a sudden change in the vehicle's speed or direction during travel. When the protective device 6501 is removed from the vehicle 6500 (i.e., separated from each other), the plate-shaped body 6503 first pivots to a horizontal position via pivot 6505. That is, the plate-shaped body 6503 will be parallel to the outer bottom surface of the vehicle 6500, as... Figure 73B As shown. The plate-shaped body 6503 can then be pushed and guided to move along the guide member 6507 toward the carrier 6500 until it is completely beneath the bottom of the carrier 6500. In this way, the plate-shaped body 6503 can be received and contained in the space between the outer bottom of the box portion 6502 and the support assembly 6508, as... Figure 73C As shown.

[0467] Second aspect, sixth embodiment

[0468] Figure 74A and Figure 74B This is a schematic side view of a mobility device 66 including a vehicle 6600 and a protective device 6601 according to a sixth embodiment of the second aspect of this disclosure. More specifically, Figure 74A The protective device 6601 is shown attached to the vehicle 6600 to provide improved impact resistance to the vehicle 6600. Figure 74BThe protective device 6601 is shown separated from the carrier 6600. The carrier 6600 has a structure and construction similar to the carriers 6100, 6200, 6300, 6400 and 6500 described above, including a box portion 6602 with a fastener assembly 6610, a canopy portion 6604 detachably attached to the box portion 6602, a carrying handle 6606 detachably and pivotally connected to the opposite side of the box portion 6602, and a support assembly 6608 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 6602.

[0469] In this embodiment, the protective device 6601 to be attached to the carrier 6600 includes a plate-like body 6603 and a connecting member 6605 disposed at the bottom of the plate-like body 6603. The connecting member 6605 has one end connected to the bottom of the plate-like body 6603, and a connecting portion 6607, such as a clamping structure, is provided at its distal end (i.e., the other end). The connecting portion 6607 has a profile corresponding to the rod structure of the support assembly 6608, such that the protective device 6601 can be attached to the carrier 6600 by connecting or clamping the connecting portion 6607 to the support assembly 6608. Preferably, the length La of the connecting member 6605 is set such that when the protective device 6601 is attached to the carrier 6600, the plate-like body 6603 abuts against the side of the carrier 6600, so that the animal in the carrier 6600 can be supported and protected in a relatively safe and stable manner. In this embodiment, the protective device 6601 is pushed to attach to the carrier 6600 along the longitudinal direction A6. It should be noted that the "connecting member 6605" and / or "connecting portion 6607" in this embodiment can be used as an example or part of a "connecting device".

[0470] Second aspect, seventh embodiment

[0471] Please refer to Figure 75 , Figure 75 This is a schematic side view of a mobility device 67 according to a seventh embodiment of the second aspect of this disclosure. The mobility device 67 includes a vehicle 6700 and a protective device 6701 attached to the vehicle 6700 to provide improved impact resistance. The vehicle 6700 has a structure and configuration similar to the vehicle described above, including a box portion 6702 with a fastener assembly 6710, a canopy portion 6704 detachably attached to the box portion 6702, a carrying handle 6706 detachably and pivotally connected to the opposite side of the box portion 6702, and a support assembly 6708 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 6702. In the embodiment shown, the vehicle 6700 is mounted to a base 6750 disposed in a vehicle (not shown). The structure and configuration of the base 6750 and the details of the mounting of the vehicle 6700 to the base 6750 are not for the purpose of this disclosure and are therefore omitted here to avoid obscuring this disclosure.

[0472] In this embodiment, the protective device 6701 is attached to the base 6750, rather than the carrier 6700. The protective device 6701 includes a plate-shaped body 6703 made of energy-absorbing or impact-absorbing material and a connecting rod 6705 (as an example of a "connection device") attached to the bottom of the plate-shaped body 6703. The distal end of the connecting rod 6705 is connected to the base 6750. The length Lb of the connecting rod 6705 is set such that when the protective device 6701 is attached to the base 6750, the plate-shaped body 6703 abuts against the side of the carrier 6700, thereby providing relatively safe and stable support and protection for the animal in the carrier 6700.

[0473] Second aspect, eighth embodiment

[0474] Please refer to Figure 76 , Figure 76 A side view of a mobility device 68 according to an eighth embodiment of the second aspect of this disclosure is schematically shown. The mobility device 68 includes a vehicle 6800 and a protective device 6801 attached to the vehicle 6800 to provide improved impact resistance. The vehicle 6800 has a structure and configuration similar to the vehicle described above, including a box portion 6802 with a fastener assembly 6810, a canopy portion 6804 detachably attached to the box portion 6802, a carrying handle 6806 detachably and pivotally connected to the opposite side of the box portion 6802, and a support assembly 6808 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 6802.

[0475] The carrier 6800 differs from the aforementioned carrier in that, in this embodiment, the carrier 6800 includes a connector 6820 disposed on the opposite side, particularly the opposite short side, of the upper peripheral edge 6802A of the housing portion 6802. In this way, the canopy portion 6804 in its unfolded state can be connected to the housing portion 6802 via the connector 6820 of the carrier 6800. More specifically, the connector can be disposed on the housing body and / or the canopy assembly, and the connector 6820 can be a magnetic connector comprising a pair of magnets capable of attracting each other (as an example of a "canopy locking device"), with one magnet disposed on the short side of the upper peripheral edge 6802A of the housing portion 6802, and the other magnet disposed on the short side of the lower peripheral edge 6804A of the canopy portion 6804. In this way, the canopy portion 6804 can be attached to the housing portion 6802 by this magnetic attraction. In order to prevent the protective device 6801 from obstructing or hindering the connection between the canopy portion 6804 and the box portion 6802, the plate-shaped body 6803 may be formed to have an opening or recess (or groove) corresponding to the connector 6820.

[0476] refer to Figures 76A to 76CThis illustrates various designs for the plate-shaped body of the protective device. For example... Figure 76A As shown, the plate-shaped body 6803A of the travel device 68A is formed with a vertical through opening or a vertical recess (e.g., a groove or slot) 68031, so that the plate-shaped body 6803A is mounted in a direction from the top to the bottom of the vehicle 6800A, thereby attaching the protective device including the plate-shaped body 6803A to the vehicle 6800A. When the protective device including the plate-shaped body 6803A is attached to the vehicle 6800A, the connector 6820A can be located inside the top of the vertical recess 68031, or it can be located at one end of the vertical recess 68031 near the center of the protective device. On the periphery of the top of the vertical recess 68031, a magnetic strip or magnetic tape 68031A corresponding to the magnetic connector 6820A of the vehicle 6800A can be arranged. In this way, the protective device can be attached to the carrier 6800A via the magnetic attraction between the magnetic strip or magnetic tape 68031A of the plate-shaped body 6803A and the magnetic connector 6820A of the carrier 6800A. It should be noted that the "connector 6820" and "vertical recess 68031" in this embodiment can be considered as examples or parts of a "connection device," and the "magnetic connector 6820A" and "magnetic strip or magnetic tape 68031A" can also be considered as examples or parts of a "connection device."

[0477] Alternatively, such as Figure 76B As shown, the plate-shaped body 6803B of the travel device 68B is formed with a horizontal through opening or a horizontal recess (e.g., a groove or slot) 68033, so that the plate-shaped body 6803B is mounted in a right-to-left direction from the vehicle 6800B, thereby attaching the protective device including the plate-shaped body 6803B to the vehicle 6800B. When the protective device including the plate-shaped body 6803B is attached to the vehicle 6800B, the connector 6820B can be located within the right end of the horizontal recess 68033. On the periphery of the right end of the horizontal recess 68033, a magnetic strip or tape 68033A corresponding to the magnetic connector 6820B of the vehicle 6800B can be arranged. In this way, the protective device can be attached to the vehicle 6800B by the magnetic attraction between the magnetic tape or tape 68033A of the plate-shaped body 6803B and the magnetic connector 6820B of the vehicle 6800B.

[0478] Alternatively, such as Figure 76CAs shown, the plate-shaped body 6803C of the mobility device 68C is formed with a central through-hole 68035 having a closed periphery, and a magnetic strip or magnetic tape 68035A is arranged on the periphery of the opening 68035. When the protective device including the plate-shaped body 6803C is attached to the vehicle 6800C, the connector 6820C can be located within the central through-hole 68035. In this way, the plate-shaped body 6803C can be loaded into the vehicle interior from the door in the longitudinal direction A6, and the protective device can be attached to the vehicle 6800C by the magnetic attraction between the magnetic strip or magnetic tape 68035A of the plate-shaped body 6803C and the magnetic connector 6820C of the vehicle 6800C.

When unfolded, the canopy portion 6904 can be attached to the box portion 6902 by the magnetic attraction of a connector 6920 arranged on the short side of the box portion 6902. Furthermore, in order to prevent the protective device 6901 from obstructing or hindering the connection between the canopy portion 6904 and the box portion 6902, the plate-shaped body 6903 may be formed to have an opening or recess corresponding to the connector 6920.

[0481] In this embodiment, the plate-shaped body 6903 is formed with a recess 69031 corresponding to the connector 6920, instead of the aforementioned through holes 68031, 68033, and 68035. The depth d of the recess 69031 is set such that the connector 6920 can be positioned therein without obstruction when the protective device 6901 is attached to the carrier 6900. On the top of the recess 69031, a magnetic connector 69031A corresponding to the magnetic connector 6920 of the carrier 6900 can be arranged. In this way, the protective device 6901 can be attached to the carrier 6900 by the magnetic attraction between the magnetic connector 69031A of the plate-shaped body 6903 and the magnetic connector 6920 of the carrier 6900. It should be noted that the "connector 6920" and "opening or recess" in this embodiment can be used as an example or part of the "connection device", and the "magnetic connector 6920" and "magnetic connector 69031A" can be used as an example or part of the "connection device".

Figure 79A This is a 3D model of the travel device 611. Figure 79B This is a side view of the mobility device 611. The mobility device 611 includes a vehicle 61100 and a protective device 61101 attached to the vehicle 61100 to provide improved impact resistance to the vehicle 61100. The vehicle 61100 has a structure and construction similar to the vehicle described above, including a box portion 61102 with a fastener assembly 61110, a canopy portion 61104 detachably attached to the box portion 61102, a carrying handle 61106 detachably and pivotally connected to the opposite side of the box portion 61102, and a support assembly 61108 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 61102.

[0488] Alternatively or additionally, in this embodiment, the protective device 61101 may be attached to the carrier 61100 via a fixing strap 61109, which is connected to and extends outward from the upper part of the plate-like body 61103. More specifically, as Figure 79B As shown, one end of the retaining strap 61109 is connected to the upper part of the plate-shaped body 61103 of the protective device 61101. The retaining strap extends toward the carrying handle 61106 in the longitudinal direction A6 of the carrier 61100 and passes over the carrying handle 61106. Specifically, the carrying handle 61106 has a recess 61106A formed in its middle portion to receive and hold the retaining strap 61109 passing therethrough. The retaining strap 61109 is provided at its distal end with a connecting member 61111 (e.g., a hook) that passes over the carrying handle 61106 and is connected to the support assembly 61108 at the outer bottom of the carrier 61100 via the connecting member 61111. Specifically, the protective device 61101 is disposed on one side of the carrier 61100 along the longitudinal direction A6, while the connecting member 61111 is connected to the other side of the carrier 61100 along the longitudinal direction, for example, connected to the outer bottom of the carrier 61100 on that other side, such as connected to the bracket assembly 61108. Optionally, a fixing member 61113 is provided on the fixing strap 61109 so that the length of the fixing strap 61109 is fixed after adjustment. In one example, the fixing member 61113 may include a length adjuster, or be configured as a length adjuster, such as an adjusting buckle, for adjusting the length of the fixing strap 61109.

[0489] In this embodiment, in addition to the optional connection between the first attachment portion 61112 and the second attachment portion 61105, the carrier 61100 can also be supported and protected in a relatively stable manner by the fixing strap 61109. It should be noted that the connecting structures such as the "fixing strap 61109", "connecting member 61111" and / or "recess 61106A" in this embodiment can be considered as an example or part of a "connecting device".

[0490] Second aspect, twelfth embodiment

[0491] Please see Figures 80A to 80C The diagram schematically illustrates a mobility device 612 according to a twelfth embodiment of the second aspect of this disclosure, wherein... Figure 80A This is a 3D diagram of the travel equipment 612. Figure 80B This is a side view of the travel device 612, and Figure 80C This is a perspective view of the travel device 612, showing details of its securing strap.

[0492] The mobility device 612 includes a vehicle 61200 and a protective device 61201 attached to the vehicle 61200 to provide improved impact resistance. The vehicle 61200 has a similar structure and configuration to the aforementioned vehicle, including a box portion 61202 with a fastener assembly 61210, a canopy portion 61204 detachably attached to the box portion 61202, a carrying handle 61206 detachably and pivotally connected to the opposite side of the box portion 61202, and a support assembly 61208 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 61202. Similar to mobility devices 610 and 611, in this embodiment, the protective device 61201 may alternatively or additionally be attached to the vehicle 61200 via a securing strap 61209 extending outwardly from the upper part of a plate-like body 61203. The difference lies in that, in this embodiment, the retaining strap 61209 extends along the longitudinal direction A6 of the carrier 61200 toward the carrying handle 61206, passes around the carrying handle 61206, and then reverses in the direction toward the plate-like body 61203. The retaining strap 61209 thus forms a loop 61215 via the attachment portion 61217, thereby forming a loop at the carrying handle 61206 for connection. In this embodiment, as... Figure 80C As shown, the attachment portion 61217 can be provided by a hook and loop tape (or so-called hook and loop fastener, so-called contact fastener and so-called magic tape) including a hook face 61217A and a loop face 61217B (or vice versa).

[0493] In this embodiment, in addition to the optional connection between the first attachment portion 61212 and the second attachment portion 61205, the carrier 61200 can also be supported and protected in a relatively stable manner through the connection between the plate-shaped body 61203 and the carrying handle 61206. It should be noted that the connecting structures such as the "fixing strap 61209" and / or the "attachment portion 61217" in this embodiment can be used as an example or part of a "connection device".

[0494] Second aspect, thirteenth embodiment

[0495] Please see Figure 81A and Figure 81B The illustration schematically depicts a mobility device according to a thirteenth embodiment of the second aspect of this disclosure, wherein... Figure 81A This is a 3D diagram of travel equipment 613. Figure 81BThis is a side view of the mobility device 613. The mobility device 613 includes a vehicle 61300 and a protective device 61301 attached to the vehicle 61300 to provide improved impact resistance. The vehicle 61300 has a structure and configuration similar to the aforementioned vehicle, including a box portion 61302 with a fastener assembly 61310, a canopy portion 61304 detachably attached to the box portion 61302, a carrying handle pivotally and detachably connected to the opposite side of the box portion 61302, and a support assembly 61308 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 61302. It should be noted that... Figure 81A and Figure 81B For clarity, the carrying handles of the vehicle have been omitted.

[0496] Similar to the travel device 610, in this embodiment, the protective device 61301 is alternatively or additionally attached to the vehicle 61300 by a fixing strap 61309 extending outward from the upper part of the protective device 61301. Figure 81B As shown, the carrier 61300 includes an additional handle 61314 attached to the top of the canopy portion 61304. One end of a securing strap 61309 is connected to the upper part of the protective device 61301, and the other end extends toward the handle 61314 and is connected to the handle 61314 via a connecting member 61311 (e.g., a hook), rather than to a carrying handle attached to the opposite side of the box portion 61302. Furthermore, the strap 61309 may optionally be provided with a securing member 61313 such that the length of the securing strap 61309 is fixed after adjustment. In one example, the securing member 61313 may include a length adjuster, or be configured as a length adjuster, such as an adjusting buckle, for adjusting the length of the securing strap 61309.

[0497] Alternatively or additionally, the body 61303 of the protective device 61301 is inverted L-shaped. That is, the body 61303, made of energy-absorbing material or impact-absorbing material, is composed of a first part 61303A and a second part 61303B integrally formed at right angles to each other. Figure 81BAs shown, the second portion 61303B of the body 61303 extends from the top of the first portion 61303A in the longitudinal direction A6 and / or horizontal direction (i.e., along the short side of the vehicle 61300), with its height slightly higher than the top of the canopy portion 61304. One end of the fixing strap 61309 is connected to the end face of the second portion 61303B of the body 61303. That is, the first portion 61303A extends along the height direction of the vehicle 61300 and is located on the side of the vehicle 61300, while the second portion 61303B extends from the first portion 61303A in the longitudinal direction A6 at the top of the vehicle 61300. In this way, the other end of the fixing strap 61309, connected to the handle 61314, can provide relatively sufficient and stable support for the vehicle 61300.

[0498] In this embodiment, in addition to the optional connection between the first attachment portion 61312 and the second attachment portion 61305, the carrier 61300 can also be supported and protected in a relatively stable manner through the connection between the body 61303 of the protective device 61301 and the handle 61314 on the top of the canopy portion 61304. It should be noted that the connecting structures such as the "fixing strap 61309", "connecting member 61311" and / or "fixing member 61313" in this embodiment can be used as an example or part of the "connecting device".

[0499] Second aspect, fourteenth embodiment

[0500] Please see Figure 82A and Figure 82B The image schematically illustrates a mobility device 614 according to a fourteenth embodiment of the second aspect of this disclosure, wherein... Figure 82A This is a 3D diagram of travel equipment 614. Figure 82B This is a side view of the travel device 614.

[0501] The mobility device 614 includes a vehicle 61400 and a protective device 61401 attached to the vehicle 61400 to provide improved impact resistance. The vehicle 61400 has a similar structure and configuration to the vehicle 61300 described above, including a box portion 61402 with a fastener assembly 61410, a canopy portion 61404 detachably attached to the box portion 61402, a carrying handle pivotally and detachably connected to opposite sides of the box portion 61402, and a support assembly 61408 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 61402. Figure 82A and Figure 82B For clarity, the carrying handles of the vehicle have been omitted.

[0502] Similar to the travel device 613, in this embodiment, the protective device 61401 is alternatively or additionally attached to the vehicle 61400 by a fixing strap 61409 extending outward from the upper part of the protective device 61401. The difference is that, in this embodiment, the connection between the first portion 61403A and the second portion 61403B is chamfered instead of at a right angle. Furthermore, one end of the fixing strap 61409 is connected to the upper part of the protective device 61401, and at its distal end (the other end) is connected to the connecting portion 61414A (directly disposed on the canopy portion 61404) via a connecting member 61411, instead of being connected to a carrying handle attached to the opposite side of the box portion 61402. Additionally, the strap 61409 may optionally be provided with a fixing member 61413, such that the length of the fixing strap 61409 is fixed after adjustment.

[0503] In this embodiment, in addition to the optional connection between the first attachment portion 61412 and the second attachment portion 61405, the carrier 61400 can also be supported and protected in a relatively stable manner through the connection between the body 61403 of the protective device 61401 and the connecting portion 61414A at the top of the canopy portion 61404. It should be noted that the connecting structures such as the "fixing strap 61409," "connecting member 61411," and / or "fixing member 61413," and / or "first attachment portion 61412" and / or "second attachment portion 61405" in this embodiment can be considered as an example or part of a "connecting device."

[0504] According to this disclosure, the anchoring strap shown in the figure can be an elastic strap or a non-elastic strap. It is worth noting that an elastic strap can help absorb impacts or collisions caused by side collisions or sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction during travel, while a non-elastic strap can help disperse impacts and increase safety strength.

[0505] According to this disclosure, the body of the protective device is made of an energy-absorbing material or an impact-absorbing material. Examples of such materials include, but are not limited to, expanded polyethylene (EPE), expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polystyrene (EPS), expanded polyolefin (EPO), memory foam materials such as polyurethane (PU) foam, silicone, and latex. The body of the protective device can be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. The body of the protective device can be formed into various shapes in cross-section.

[0506] refer to Figures 83A to 83G Various designs of plate-shaped bodies according to this disclosure are shown. Plate-shaped bodies 615A to 615E are shown having their respective cross-sectional shapes. It should be noted that "cross-section" here refers to the cross-section of the plate-shaped body when viewed from the front of the vehicle. For example, as Figure 83AAs shown, the cross-section of the plate-shaped body 615A can be rectangular. For example, as... Figure 83B and Figure 83C As shown, the plate-like bodies 615B and / or 615C can be composed of two parts with different thicknesses (i.e., corresponding to the width of the cross-section), wherein the first part has a constant thickness, and the second part extends from one end (such as the upper end) of the first part and has a thickness that gradually increases or decreases from the first part. Optionally, the second part with the gradually changing thickness can be configured such that one surface is flush with one surface of the first part, while the other surface is at an angle to another surface of the first part (see...). Figure 83B Alternatively, the second part can be constructed with two surfaces that are angled to the two surfaces of the first part (see...). Figure 83C In another example, the first and / or second portions can have shapes with variable thicknesses other than a gradient thickness. For example, such as... Figure 83D As shown, the plate-like body 615D has a first portion and a second portion that are perpendicular to or at an angle to each other. Optionally, the first portion and the second portion can each have a constant thickness, wherein the thickness of the first portion can be equal to the thickness of the second portion, but is not limited thereto, that is, it can also be less than or greater than the thickness of the second portion. Furthermore, the first portion and / or the second portion can also have variable thicknesses. For example, as... Figure 83E As shown, at least a portion of the cross-section of the plate-shaped body 615E may be curved, for example, having an arc-shaped corner. However, it should be understood that, without structural conflict, the shapes of the plate-shaped bodies in the various embodiments of the second aspect of this application may be combined or substituted with each other.

[0507] Plate-like bodies 615F are shown as having a two-layer structure, while plate-like bodies 615G are shown as having a three-layer structure. In these embodiments, plate-like bodies 615F and 615G are manufactured by lamination of more than one layer, thereby providing composite softness to absorb and release impacts or shocks caused by side collisions or sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction. That is, relatively soft materials can help absorb impacts or shocks caused by side collisions or sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction, while relatively rigid materials can help disperse the impact and increase safety strength. Accordingly, relatively rigid materials can be arranged as the outer layer of a plate-like body with a multi-layer structure, wherein relatively soft materials can be sandwiched within or used as an inner layer. Figure 83FTaking the plate-like body 615F as an example, layer 6151F can be made of a relatively rigid material and used as an outer layer disposed on the side near the vehicle's rear door, while layer 6152F can be made of a relatively flexible material and used as an inner layer disposed on the side near the vehicle. Taking the plate-like body 615G as an example, layer 6152G, made of a relatively flexible material, is sandwiched between layers 6151G and 6153G. This three-layer structure provides improved strength and impact resistance to the plate-like body, thereby providing improved strength and impact resistance to the protective device.

[0508] refer to Figure 84A and Figure 84B The figures show plate-shaped bodies 61603A and 61603B of different dimensions according to this disclosure. As shown, carriers 61600A and 61600B have a defined width L61 in the transverse direction B6, defined by a box portion. Figure 84A In one embodiment, the width L62 of the plate-shaped body 61603A is greater than the width L61 of the carrier 61600A, while... Figure 84B In the embodiments, the width L63 of the plate-shaped body 61603B is smaller than the width L61 of the carrier 61600B. It is worth noting that in both cases, the central axis of the corresponding plate-shaped bodies 61603A and 61603B (i.e., the axis that passes perpendicularly through the corresponding midpoint of widths L62 and L63) and the central axis of the carriers 61600A and 61600B (i.e., the axis that passes perpendicularly through the midpoint of width L61) will coincide.

[0509] Second aspect, fifteenth embodiment

[0510] Please see Figures 85A to 85C The illustration schematically depicts a mobility device according to a fifteenth embodiment of the second aspect of this disclosure, wherein... Figure 85A This is a 3D diagram of the travel equipment 624. Figure 85B This is a side view of the mobility device 624. The mobility device 624 includes a vehicle 62400 and a protective device 62401 attached to the side of the vehicle 62400. The structure and construction of the vehicle 62400 are similar to... Figure 69The carrier 6100 shown has a similar structure and construction, including a box portion 62402, a canopy portion 62404 detachably attached to the box portion 62402 via a fastener assembly 62410, carrying handles 62406 detachably and pivotally connected to opposite sides of the box portion 62402, and a support assembly 62408 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 62402. Similarly, when viewed from the top of the box portion 62402, the box portion 62402 may be rectangular, defined by a pair of opposing long sides extending in the longitudinal direction A6 and a pair of opposing short sides extending in the transverse direction B6. The protective device 62401 is mainly composed of a plate-shaped body 62403 made of energy-absorbing or impact-absorbing material.

[0511] Alternatively or additionally, in this embodiment, the protective device 62401 may be attached to the vehicle 62400 at a side corresponding to one of its long sides. More specifically, when the mobility device 624 is placed in a vehicle, the protective device 62401 may be attached to the vehicle 62400 and held by the long side of the vehicle 62400 and the seat back 630. In this embodiment, the protective device 62401 is attached to the vehicle 62400 by a securing strap 62409 that connects to and extends from the protective device 62401 and has a connecting member 62411, such as a hook, at its distal end. Similarly, the plate-like body 62403 of the protective device 62401 (e.g., Figure 85C (As shown) can optionally be covered with cloth to facilitate connection with the fixing strap 62409. The fixing strap 62409 can be connected at its distal end to the connecting portion 62414A of the carrier 62400 by a connecting member 62411. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 62414A is constructed on the outer side wall of the box portion 62402, corresponding to the location of the fixing strap 62409 and the connecting member 62411 of the protective device 62401. The connecting portion 62414A can be directly disposed on the outer side wall of the box portion 62402, or connected to the side wall of the box portion 62402 by a connecting strap 62414B, which connects to and extends from the side wall of the box portion 62402, such as... Figure 85A As shown. It should be noted that the connecting structures such as "fixing strap 62409", "connecting member 62411", connecting part 62414A and / or "connecting strap 62414B" in this embodiment can be used as an example or part of the "connecting device".

[0512] Second aspect, sixteenth embodiment

[0513] Please see Figures 86A to 86C The illustration schematically depicts a mobility device according to a sixteenth embodiment of the second aspect of this disclosure, wherein... Figure 86A This is a 3D diagram of the travel equipment 625. Figure 86B This is a side view of the mobility device 625. The mobility device 625 includes a vehicle 62500 and a protective device 62501 attached to the side of the vehicle 62500. The structure and construction of the vehicle 62500 are similar to... Figure 69 The illustrated carrier 6100 has a similar structure and construction, including a box portion 62502, a canopy portion 62504 detachably attached to the box portion 62502 via a fastener assembly 62510, a carrying handle 62506 detachably and pivotally connected to opposite sides of the box portion 62502, and a support assembly 62508 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 62502. Similarly, when viewed from the top, the box portion 62502 may be rectangular in shape, defined by a pair of opposing long sides extending in the longitudinal direction A6 and a pair of opposing short sides extending in the transverse direction B6. The protective device 62501 is primarily composed of a body 62503 made of energy-absorbing or impact-absorbing material.

[0514] and Figures 85A to 85C Similar to the illustrated embodiment, in this embodiment, the protective device 62501 can be attached to the vehicle 62500 at a side corresponding to one of its long sides. More specifically, when the mobility device 625 is placed in a vehicle, the protective device 62501 can be attached to the vehicle 62500 and sandwiched between the long side of the vehicle 62500 and the seat back 630. Figure 86C As shown, the body 62503 of the protective device 62501 is inverted L-shaped. That is, the body 62503, made of energy-absorbing material or impact-absorbing material, is composed of a first part 62503A and a second part 62503B integrally formed at right angles to each other. As... Figure 86A and Figure 86B As shown, the second portion 62503B of the body 62503 extends from the top of the first portion 62503A along the horizontal and lateral directions B6 of the vehicle 62500, and its horizontal position is slightly higher than the top of the upright carrying handle 62506 or the top of the canopy portion 62504 (when the carrying handle 62506 is removed or pivoted to the horizontal position) to cover the top of at least a portion of the vehicle 62500.

[0515] Additionally or alternatively, in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 86A to 86CThe protective device 62501 is alternatively or additionally mounted in the vehicle by a fixing strap 62509 that wraps around the headrest 630A of the vehicle. More specifically, the fixing strap 62509 may be connected to the upper part of the protective device 62501 at one end 62509A and extend outward therefrom. The securing strap 62509 may extend, for example, from the front side of the seat 630 (i.e., the location where the protective device 62501 is provided), through one side of the protective device 62501 (specifically its body 62503) (i.e., the side connected to the end 62509A) toward the rear side of the seat 630, wrap around the headrest 630A from the rear side of the seat 630 (e.g., around the location where the headrest 630A is connected to the seat 630), and then extend toward the front side of the seat 630 (i.e., from the other side of the headrest 630A to the front side of the seat 630), so as to be connected to the other side (not shown) of the body 62503 of the protective device 62501 via the other end of the securing strap 62509 (i.e., the end away from the end 62509A). In this way, the protective device 62501 can be securely attached to the seat 630 in addition to being attached to the vehicle 62500. Optionally, the strap 62509 may be provided with a fixing member (not shown) so that the length of the fixing strap 62509 is fixed after adjustment. It should be noted that the connecting structure such as the "fixing strap 62509" in this embodiment can be used as an example or part of a "connecting device".

[0516] Additionally or alternatively, in this embodiment, the contour of the inner surface of the protective device 62501 may correspond to the contour of the vehicle 62500. More specifically, the portion of the protective device 62501 from which the first portion 62503A connects to the second portion 62503B has a domed inner surface (the surface facing the vehicle 62500 when placed in a vehicle) such that the contour of the inner surface of the protective device 62501 conforms to the contour of the roof portion 62504 of the vehicle 62500. In this way, the protective device 62501 can improve its ability to prevent pets from being injured in accidents or side collisions. Although the protective device 62501 is shown as having a domed inner surface in this embodiment, it should be noted that the contour of the inner surface of the protective device 62501 is not limited thereto.

[0517] It should be noted that the construction methods of protection devices 62401 and 62501 are different from those of protection devices 62401 and 62501. Figures 83A to 83GSimilar to the illustration. More specifically, the bodies 62403 and 62503 of the protective devices 62401 and 62501 can be made of energy-absorbing or impact-absorbing materials. Examples of such materials include, but are not limited to, expanded polyethylene (EPE), expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polystyrene (EPS), expanded polyolefin (EPO), memory foam materials such as polyurethane (PU) foam, silicone, and latex, which can be single-layer or multi-layer structures and can be formed into various cross-sectional shapes. For example, the bodies 62403 and 62503 of the protective devices 62401 and 62501 can be made of energy-absorbing or impact-absorbing materials (such as EPP or EPS), which can be sandwiched between two plates made of polyethylene (PE) each with a thickness of 61 mm. Additionally and alternatively, the bodies 62403 and 62503 of the protective devices 62401 and 62501 can optionally be covered with fabric to facilitate connection with the fixing straps 62409 and 62509. According to this embodiment, by attaching a protective device to the vehicle at a location between the vehicle and the vehicle seat, the head of a pet housed in the vehicle can be protected from injury in the event of an accident or side collision. The safety of pets carried in a vehicle may be improved.

[0518] It should be noted that, in Figures 85A to 85C and Figures 86A to 86C In the illustrated embodiment, protective devices 62401 and 62501 are attached to the vehicle 62400 and 62500 to be placed in the vehicle via fastening straps 62409 and 62509. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto. According to this disclosure, the protective devices can be in a similar manner to... Figures 69 to 82A and Figure 82B The embodiment shown is attached to a carrier at a side corresponding to one of the long sides, and the carrier includes various connecting devices constructed as described above, such as attachment portions and / or attachment members.

[0519] According to this disclosure, the impact resistance of a vehicle can be further improved by modifying the structure of its roof portion. Specific details will be provided in the various embodiments of the third aspect of this disclosure. Where the structure does not conflict, the various embodiments of this aspect may also include any or a combination of structures from the embodiments of the first and / or second aspects.

[0520] Third aspect, first embodiment

[0521] Please refer to Figure 87The diagram schematically shows a side view of a vehicle 61700 of a mobility device according to a first embodiment of the third aspect of this disclosure. The vehicle 61700 has a structure and configuration similar to that of the vehicle in any of the embodiments of the second aspect described above, including a box portion 61702 with a fastener assembly 61710, a canopy portion 6174 detachably attached to the box portion 61702, a carrying handle 61706 detachably and pivotally connected to the opposite side of the box portion 61702 via a pivot 61762, and a support assembly 61708 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 61702.

[0522] In this embodiment, the canopy portion 61704 is primarily composed of a pair of U-shaped frames 61742 and a plurality of spaced-apart U-shaped support rods (also collectively referred to as "U-shaped supports") 61746. When the cover 61744 is connected to these supports 61742 and support rods 61746 by means such as binding or gluing, the canopy portion 6174 provides shelter for the animal in the box portion 61702 when in the unfolded state. The U-shaped frames 61742 are connected to the cover 61744 (also referred to as "canopy") at the lower periphery of the canopy portion 6174 and are pivotally connected to opposite sides of the box portion 61702 via corresponding pivots 61748, thereby allowing the canopy portion 6174 to fold or unfold. When unfolded to cover the box portion 61702, the canopy portion 6174 can be secured to the opposite short side of the box portion 61702 via magnetic connectors 61720.

[0523] In this embodiment, the canopy portion 6174 is divided into two halves, each half including two support rods 61746. The cover 61744 is divided into a total of five corresponding regions 61744A to 61744E (i.e., 61744A, 61744B, 61744C, 61744D, 61744E). By increasing the number of support rods 61746, the canopy portion 6174 can be provided with improved support for impact resistance. Alternatively, each half of the canopy portion 6174 may include at least two support rods, such as, but not limited to, three, four, or five support rods. It should be noted that the cover having these regions can be constructed from "pieces" or "sheet-like elements" joined together, wherein each piece or sheet-like element forms a region; or, the cover can be a one-piece structure, with these regions being part of it.

[0524] Third aspect, second embodiment

[0525] Please refer to Figure 88 The diagram schematically shows a side view of a vehicle 61800 of a mobility device according to a second embodiment of the third aspect of this disclosure. The structure and construction of the vehicle 61800 are as follows: Figure 87Similar to the illustrated carrier 61700, it includes a box portion 61802 with a fastener assembly 61810, a canopy portion 6184 detachably attached to the box portion 61802, a carrying handle 61806 pivotally and detachably connected to the opposite side of the box portion 61802 via a pivot 61862, and a support assembly 61808 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 61802. Except for the number of support rods 61846, the canopy portion 6184 also has a structure and configuration similar to the canopy portion 6174, namely, including a U-shaped frame 61842 connected to the box portion 61802 via a corresponding pivot 61848, and support rods 61846 for supporting the cover 61844. In this embodiment, each half of the canopy portion 6184 includes five support rods 61846. In other words, the canopy portion 6184 is provided with a total of ten support rods 61846, dividing the cover 61844 into eleven regions 61844A to 61844K (i.e., 61844A, 61844B, 61844C, 61844D, 61844E, 61844F, 61844G, 61844H, 61844I, 61844J, and 61844K). With the increase in the number of support rods, the canopy portion 6184, and thus the carrier 61800, can have improved impact resistance compared to the carrier 61700.

[0526] The support rods may be strip-shaped flexible members made of plastic or hardware (such as metal), but are not limited thereto. Preferably, some or all of the support rods 61746 and 61846 may be made of energy-absorbing or impact-absorbing materials as described above, in order to provide the vehicle with improved impact resistance to prevent animals therefrom being impacted or injured by side collisions or sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction.

[0527] Third aspect, third embodiment

[0528] Please refer to Figure 89 The diagram schematically illustrates a vehicle 61900 according to a third embodiment of a third aspect of this disclosure. The vehicle 61900 has, as shown in the diagram... Figure 87The illustrated carrier 61700 has a similar structure and construction, including a box portion 61902 with a fastener assembly 61910, a canopy portion 6194 detachably attached to the box portion 61902, a carrying handle 61906 pivotally and detachably connected to the opposite side of the box portion 61902 via a pivot 61962, and a support assembly 61908 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 61902. The canopy portion 6194 also has a similar structure and construction to the canopy portion 6174, including a U-shaped frame 61942 connected to the box portion 61902 via a corresponding pivot 61948, and four support rods 61946 for supporting the cover 61944. Similar to the canopy section 6174, the cover 61944 of the canopy section 6194 is divided into five regions 61944A to 61944E (i.e., 61944A, 61944B, 61944C, 61944D, 61944E).

[0529] The difference between vehicle 61900 and vehicle 61700 is that, in this embodiment, cover 61944 has a protective device 61901 embedded in its central region 61944C. The protective device 61901 can be formed as a plate or sheet made of energy-absorbing or impact-absorbing material as described above, thereby providing the vehicle with improved impact resistance to prevent the animal carried therein from being impacted or injured by side collisions or sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction.

[0530] Third aspect, fourth embodiment

[0531] Please refer to Figure 90A and Figure 90B ,in Figure 90A The vehicle 62000 according to the fourth embodiment of the third aspect of this disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 90B The arrangement of the protective device in this embodiment is illustrated schematically.

[0532] The structure and construction of vehicle 62000 Figure 87Similar to the illustrated carrier 61700, it includes a box portion 62002 with a fastener assembly 62010, a canopy portion 62040 detachably attached to the box portion 62002, a carrying handle 62006 pivotally and detachably connected to the opposite side of the box portion 62002 via a pivot 62062, and a support assembly 62008 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 62002. The canopy portion 62040 also has a structure and configuration similar to that of the canopy portion 6174, including a U-shaped frame 62042 connected to the box portion 62002 via a corresponding pivot 62048, and four support rods 62046 for supporting the cover 62044. Similar to the canopy section 6174, the cover 62044 of the canopy section 62040 is divided into five areas 62044A to 62044E (i.e., 62044A, 62044B, 62044C, 62044D, 62044E).

[0533] The difference between vehicle 62000 and vehicle 61700 is that, in this embodiment, the canopy portion 62040 includes a plurality of protective devices 62001 attached to the outer and / or inner surfaces of regions 62044A to 62044E. The protective devices 62001 may be formed as plates or sheets made of energy-absorbing or impact-absorbing materials as described above, thereby providing the vehicle with improved impact resistance to prevent animals carried therein from being impacted or injured by side collisions or sudden changes in vehicle speed. Figure 90B As shown, the protective device 62001 is shown attached to the inner surface of the cover 62044 by binding or gluing. However, in regions 62044A to 62044E, these protective devices 62001 may also be attached to the outer surface of the cover 62044 or embedded in the cover 62044.

[0534] In addition, such as Figure 90B The protective device 62001 shown is constructed as a double-layer structure comprising a first layer 62001A and a second layer 62001B. The protective device 62001 is made of a selected combination of energy-absorbing materials or impact-absorbing materials as described above, such that the second layer 62001B (i.e., facing or close to the accommodating space) facing and close to the animal in the box section (not shown) is relatively softer than the first layer 62001A, in order to provide a comfortable experience for the animal.

[0535] Alternatively, the protective device can be formed to have a shape or construction corresponding to the cover 62044 of the canopy portion 62040. For example, the protective device can have a single-piece structure that completely corresponds to the contour of the canopy portion 62040, such that the protective device can be fully attached to the inner and / or outer surfaces of the cover 62044, for example, by binding or gluing, or embedded in the cover 62044. Preferably, the protective device is formed to have a two-piece structure, each piece corresponding to half of the canopy portion 62040, such that the protective device can be folded as the canopy portion is folded.

[0536] Third aspect, fifth embodiment

[0537] Please refer to Figures 91 to 93 , Figures 91 to 93 These are side views of vehicles according to the fifth embodiment of the third aspect of this disclosure, showing various designs of the roof portion of the vehicle. The structures and configurations of vehicles 62100, 62200, and 62300 are similar to... Figure 87 The vehicle shown is similar to the 61700, except that the corresponding cover for the roof has been designed and modified.

[0538] like Figure 91 As shown, the carrier 62100 includes a box portion 62102 with a fastener assembly 62110, a canopy portion 62140 detachably attached to the box portion 62102, a carrying handle 62106 pivotally and detachably connected to the opposite side of the box portion 62102 via a pivot 62162, and a support assembly 62108 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 62102, which is similar to those parts of the carrier described above. The canopy portion 62140 also has a similar structure and construction to the canopy portion described above, including a U-shaped frame 62142 connected to the box portion 62102 via a corresponding pivot 62148, and four support rods 62146 for supporting the cover 62144. Similar to the canopy section 6174, the cover 62144 of the canopy section 62140 is divided into five areas 62144A to 62144E (i.e., 62144A, 62144B, 62144C, 62144D, 62144E).

[0539] In this embodiment, some areas 62144A to 62144E of the cover 62144 are made of a mesh fabric (i.e., a “mesh fabric”) to enhance air circulation inside and outside the vehicle 62100. The mesh fabric also allows users (e.g., pet owners) to observe their animals, forming an “observation zone” to check on the animal or its condition within the vehicle. In other embodiments, these areas may also be made of a transparent material (e.g., a plastic film) and optionally have a breathable structure. It is worth noting that fabrics with relatively small mesh sizes always provide relatively high strength compared to fabrics with relatively large mesh sizes. Therefore, the mesh size of the fabric can be selected according to the actual application, and optionally, different areas of the cover 62144 may be made of mesh fabrics with different mesh sizes.

[0540] Experience shows that when an animal is involved in a collision or struck by an external object or vehicle, inertia causes it to move in a specific direction, resulting in impact. Therefore, in this disclosure, it is preferable to arrange a relatively small-mesh, and thus relatively strong, fabric in the area of ​​the cover facing that direction to provide better protection for the animal when it is thrown towards the fabric during a collision or impact. Figure 91 In the illustrated embodiment, the left half of the cover 62144 is made of mesh fabric, while the second region upwards from the U-shaped frame 62142, namely region 62144D between region 62144E and region 62144C, is made of fabric with a relatively smaller mesh size to provide relatively high strength for supporting the animal carried in the vehicle, thus protecting the animal in a relatively safe manner. Based on experience, in Figure 91 In the illustrated embodiment, an external impact or side collision would exert an impact force on the vehicle, causing the animal carried in the vehicle to move toward region 62144D. Therefore, the arrangement of the relatively small mesh size of the fabric can protect the animal in the vehicle from injury when it "flies (moves / collides)" toward this region.

[0541] like Figure 92As shown, the carrier 62200 includes a box portion 62202 with a fastener assembly 62210, a canopy portion 62240 detachably attached to the box portion 62202, a carrying handle 62206 pivotally and detachably connected to the opposite side of the box portion 62202 via a pivot 62262, and a support assembly 62208 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 62202, which is similar to those parts of the carrier described above. The canopy portion 62240 also has a similar structure and construction to the canopy portion described above, including a U-shaped frame 62242 connected to the box portion 62202 via a corresponding pivot 62248, and four support rods 62246 for supporting the cover 62244. Similar to the canopy section 6174, the cover 62244 of the canopy section 62240 is divided into five areas 62244A to 62244E (i.e., 62244A, 62244B, 62244C, 62244D, 62244E).

[0542] Similarly, some areas 62244A to 62244E of the cover 62244 are made of mesh fabric to enhance air circulation inside and outside the vehicle 62200, and different areas of the cover 62244 can be made of mesh fabric with different mesh sizes. For example... Figure 92 As shown, at least regions 62244B to 62244E are made of mesh fabric. Region 62244D, between regions 62244E and 62244C, is made of fabric with a relatively small mesh size. Based on experience, in Figure 92 In the illustrated embodiment, an external impact or side collision would exert an impact force on the vehicle, causing the animal carried in the vehicle to move toward area 62244D. Therefore, when the animal "flies (moves / collides)" toward this area, placing a relatively small mesh fabric in such an area can protect the animal in the vehicle from injury. Furthermore, area 62244B can be covered with cloth 62244' (also an example of a "protective shield"), which, when removed, exposes the interior of the box portion 62202, allowing the user or animal owner to check the condition of the animal inside.

[0543] like Figure 93As shown, the carrier 62300 includes a box portion 62302 with a fastener assembly 62310, a canopy portion 62340 detachably attached to the box portion 62302, a carrying handle 62306 pivotally and detachably connected to the opposite side of the box portion 62302 via a pivot 62362, and a support assembly 62308 connected to the outer bottom of the box portion 62302, which is similar to those parts of the carrier described above. The canopy portion 62340 also has a similar structure and construction to the canopy portion described above, including a U-shaped frame 62342 connected to the box portion 62302 via a corresponding pivot 62348, and four support rods 62346 for supporting the cover 62344. Similar to the canopy section 6174, the cover 62344 of the canopy section 62340 is divided into five areas 62344A to 62344E (i.e., 62344A, 62344B, 62344C, 62344D, 62344E).

[0544] Similarly, some areas 62344A to 62344E of the cover 62344 are made of mesh fabric to enhance air circulation inside and outside the vehicle 62300, and different areas of the cover 62344 can be made of mesh fabric with different mesh sizes. For example... Figure 93 As shown, at least regions 62344B to 62344E are made of mesh fabric. In this embodiment, region 62344D, sandwiched between regions 62344E and 62344C, and region 62344B, sandwiched between regions 62344A and 62344C, are made of the same fabric with a relatively small mesh size. In this way, in Figure 93 In the illustrated embodiment, the animal in the vehicle can be protected when it "flies (moves / collides)" toward areas 62344B and 62344D. Furthermore, area 62344B can be covered with a cloth 62344', which can be uncovered to expose the interior of the box portion 62302, allowing the user or animal owner to check the condition of the animal inside.

[0545] In addition to being attached to the vehicle on the side corresponding to one of the short sides, the protective device can also be attached to the vehicle on the side corresponding to one of the long sides, such as... Figures 85A to 85C and Figures 86A to 86C The respective embodiments are shown.

[0546] The fourth aspect of this disclosure also provides a vehicle and a collision protection material disposed on the vehicle, the specific structure of which will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The "collision protection material" of this aspect may also be referred to as a "collision protection body (part)" or a "protective block (structure)," and can be considered as an example of a "protective device."

[0547] refer to Figure 94The diagram schematically shows the housing 7110 of a vehicle according to a first embodiment of the fourth aspect of this disclosure.

[0548] like Figure 94 As shown, the carrier of the first embodiment of this aspect includes a box 7110, which includes a body 7111 and a bottom support 7112. The body 7111 forms the four sides and the top surface of the box 7110, and the bottom support 7112 forms the bottom of the box 7110. In one example, the body 7111 is detachably connected to the bottom support 7112, and more specifically, covers the bottom support 7112 to form a accommodating space for carrying a pet.

[0549] The body 7111 may include a first support member and a second support member. In this embodiment, the first support member may be a side support member 71111, and the second support member may be an upper support member 71112. The side support member 71111 and the upper support member 71112 can be at least partially detachably connected to each other by at least one connecting component. The connecting component may include mating structures respectively disposed on the side support member 71111 and the upper support member 71112, such as mating zipper structures, snap-fit ​​structures, sliding buckle structures, Velcro structures, hook and loop structures, etc., and optionally a flexible connecting structure.

[0550] In one example, the side support 71111 may include a first sub-support 71111a and a second sub-support 71111b, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the upper support 71112 (e.g., symmetrically disposed with respect to the upper support 71112). At least a portion of the first sub-support 71111a and at least a portion of the second sub-support 71111b can be detachably connected to the upper support 71112 via connecting components. The first sub-support 71111a and the second sub-support 71111b of the side support 71111 form two sides of the body 7111, while the upper support 71112 forms the top surface of the body 7111 and at least a portion of the other two sides. Optionally, the first sub-support 71111a and the second sub-support 71111b can be connected as one unit by a connecting piece 71111c. For example, the first sub-support 71111a and the second sub-support 71111b can be integrally formed with the connecting piece 71111c to form the side support 71111.

[0551] The upper support member 71112 may include three interconnected sheet-like members, forming an arch when connected to the side support members 71111. Specifically, the upper support member 71112 may include a first sheet-like member 71112a, a second sheet-like member 71112b, and a third sheet-like member 71112c, wherein the first sheet-like member 71112a and the third sheet-like member 71112c respectively form part of the other two side surfaces of the body 7111, while the second sheet-like member 71112b forms the top surface of the body 7111. Optionally, the first sheet-like member 71112a and the third sheet-like member 71112c have a flexible structure (i.e., bendable). In a specific example, the upper support member 71112 may have an integral structure, i.e., the three sheet-like members 71112a, 71112b, and 71112c are formed integrally, for example, by means of connection such as stitching. However, this disclosure is not limited to this; the three sheet-like components can also be detachably connected to each other via a flexible connection structure or the like.

[0552] In addition, such as Figure 94 As shown, a handle 7115 may be provided on the top side of the upper support 71112 (i.e., the second sheet 71112b), for example at the center of the top side, for lifting the pet carrier. In one example, the handle 7115 may be a flexible webbing. Alternatively or alternatively, the handle 7115 may also be made of rigid plastic.

[0553] refer to Figure 95 and Figure 96 , Figure 95 and Figure 96 schematically shown Figure 1 Another perspective view of the box 7110 shown, in which at least a portion of the second curtain 7117a is separated from the body 7111.

[0554] like Figure 95 As shown, windows, such as a first window 7116 and a second window 7117, can be provided on one or more sides of the main body 7111 to allow observation of the pet inside the enclosure 7110 and / or to provide openings for the pet to enter and exit the enclosure. The first window 7116 and the second window 7117 can each be provided with a first sealing element and a second sealing element to close and / or cover the first window 7116 and the second window 7117, respectively. In one example, the first sealing element can be a first curtain 7116a covering the first window 7116, and the second sealing element can be a second curtain 7117a covering the second window 7117.

[0555] Specifically, in one example, the first window 7116 is disposed on the first sub-support 71111a and / or the second sub-support 71111b of the side support 71111 of the body 7111, and a first curtain 7116a is provided for covering and shielding the first window 7116. Optionally, the first curtain 7116a may be fixedly connected to the first window 7116 (e.g., its window frame), that is, the first window 7116 cannot be opened, but this disclosure is not limited thereto; the first curtain 7116a may also be detachably connected to the first window 7116. For example, the first curtain 7116a may have a transparent material and / or a breathable material, or specifically, the first curtain 7116a may have a mesh structure.

[0556] Furthermore, the second window 7117 can be disposed on the upper support member 71112 of the main body 7111, for example, the upper support member 71112 is located on the side of the housing 7110, and is provided with a second curtain 7117a for covering and shielding the second window 7117. Optionally, as Figure 95 As shown, the second window 7117 can extend downward from the upper support member 71112 (e.g., the third sheet member 1112c) to the connecting piece 71111c, and further, a portion of the second window 7117 can be located on the connecting piece 71111c of the side support member 71111. The lower edge of the second window 7117 is a certain distance from the bottom edge of the body 7111, thus retaining at least a portion of the connecting piece 71111c, so that the bottom edges of the first sub-support member 71111a and the second sub-support member 71111b of the side support member 71111 remain connected. This facilitates folding and unfolding the body 7111, as well as connecting the body 7111 to the bottom support member 7112 and disassembling it from the bottom support member 7112. It should be understood that, although not shown, the second window 7117 may also be entirely located on the upper support 71112 (i.e., not extending to the connecting piece 71111c), for example on the third piece 71112c of the upper support 71112.

[0557] In one example, such as Figure 95 As shown, a second curtain 7117a is connected to and covers the second window 7117 (e.g., connected to its window frame), and at least a portion of the second curtain 7117a can be opened relative to the second window 7117. In a preferred embodiment, a portion of the second curtain 7117a is detachably connected to the second window 7117, while another portion is non-detachably connected to the second window 7117. For example, the upper side of the second curtain 7117a is fixedly connected to the second window 7117, while other portions can be detachably connected to the second window 7117, allowing the second curtain 7117a to be folded upwards to open the second window 7117.

[0558] In one example, the second curtain 7117a may have a transparent material or a mesh structure. Optionally or alternatively, the second curtain 7117a may have different materials or thicknesses; for example, a portion of it may be made of a transparent and / or breathable material (specifically, a mesh structure), while the remaining portion may be made of other materials, such as the same materials as other portions of the body 7111. Furthermore, the different portions of the second curtain 7117a with different materials and / or thicknesses may be connected to the body 7111 in different ways; for example, one portion may be detachably connected to the body 7111, while another portion may be non-detachably connected. Optionally, the different materials of the second curtain 7117a may be integrated into a single unit, i.e., the second curtain 7117a may function as a single component.

[0559] For example, such as Figure 95 and Figure 96 As shown, the second curtain 7117a has a first portion 71171a and a second portion 71172a connected to each other. The first portion 71171a may be made of a transparent and / or breathable material (e.g., a mesh structure) and covers a portion of the second window 7117. At least a portion of the first portion 71171a may be fixedly (e.g., non-removably) connected to the body 7111. Specifically, the first portion 71171a may be located on the upper part of the second window 7117 near the top surface of the body 7111, and its upper end may be fixedly connected to the upper edge of the second window 7117. The second portion 71172a may have a different material and / or thickness than the first portion 71171a, such as an opaque material and / or be thicker than the first portion 71171a, and may be detachably connected to the body 7111 by a flexible connection structure, specifically connected to the underside of the first portion 71171a to cover another portion of the second window 7117.

[0560] In addition, such as Figure 95 As shown, the first curtain 7116a and / or the second curtain 7117a can be flexible fabrics, such as mesh fabric, sponge fabric, etc. However, it should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to this; the first curtain 7116a and / or the second curtain 7117a can also be other forms of fabric or flexible material, i.e., materials that can be bent or folded. In one example, the first curtain 7116a and / or the second curtain 7117a can be closed and at least partially opened by a zipper structure (or other flexible, detachable connection structure), which can consist of a single zipper or two zippers that open in opposite directions (e.g.,...). Figure 4 (As shown).

[0561] It should be noted that the windows and / or sealing components disclosed herein are not limited to the above embodiments, and the functions and opening and closing methods of the first window 7116 and the second window 7117 can be consistent or interchangeable, and the functions, materials and connection methods of the first curtain 7116a and the second curtain 7117a with the corresponding windows can also be consistent or interchangeable.

[0562] Furthermore, the enclosure 7110 may also contain anti-collision material, for example, on any side of the main body 7111 of the enclosure 7110, that is, not limited to all sides of the main body 7111, but may also include the top and / or bottom surfaces. When the enclosure 7110 is placed on a vehicle seat, the anti-collision material may be provided at least on the side of the main body 7111 near the vehicle door to further improve the safety of the pet inside the enclosure 7110. However, this disclosure is not limited to this; the anti-collision material may also be provided on each side of the main body 7111, or on the side of the main body 7111 near the vehicle door and its opposite side, and may have a certain thickness. Specifically, the anti-collision material may be a buffer. The buffer can be constructed as a single component, for example, it can be a separately molded buffer block, which is then wrapped in a cloth bag and sewn into the bag. It is then fixed to the seat fabric (i.e., the seat fabric covering the body 7111, not shown in the figure) on any side of the housing 7110 (e.g., the side near the door and optionally its opposite side) by sewing (fixed connection), hook and loop fasteners, or snap fasteners (detachable connection). For example, corresponding hook and loop fasteners can be provided on the cloth bag covering the buffer block and on any side of the housing 7110 (specifically, the seat fabric covering the housing 7110) to allow for the buffer to be installed as needed, helping to control the cost of the vehicle and facilitating cleaning and maintenance. That is, only one buffer can be provided, for example, on the side of the housing 7110 near the door; or multiple buffers can be provided, for example, on the side of the housing 7110 near the door and its opposite side, or on each side of the housing 7110. Specifically, the buffer is a flexible material, such as foam, plastic, or elastomer. The foam can be inert memory foam, EPP, EPS, EPE, or combinations thereof, or a combination of foam and PE board. Its thickness can be between 720mm and 760mm, preferably 740mm, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. The plastic can be PC / PP / ABS plastic blocks, etc.; and the elastomer can be silicone, a spring, or a sheet spring, etc., but this disclosure is not limited thereto. Such a buffer not only provides good cushioning but also facilitates processing, molding, and subsequent production assembly, reducing production costs. Optionally or alternatively, the impact-resistant material can be configured as a filling material within the seat fabric.

[0563] In one example, at least a portion of the impact-resistant material is detachably attached to the housing 7110. In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 96As shown, the impact-resistant material can be disposed at the second curtain 7117a (e.g., its second portion 71172a), that is, it is at least partially detachably connected to the housing 7110 along with the second curtain 7117a. Optionally or alternatively, the impact-resistant material can be configured as a filling material inside the second portion 71172a of the second curtain 7117a, but this disclosure is not limited thereto, and the two can also be separate structures joined together.

[0564] refer to Figure 97 , Figure 97 A perspective view schematically illustrates a vehicle mounted on a vehicle seat according to an embodiment of the fourth aspect of this disclosure. For ease of explanation, the installation process of the vehicle and the vehicle seat is described below using the housing 7110 as an example. However, it should be understood that this process can also be applied to the vehicles of the embodiments of the first to third aspects described above, provided that the structure does not conflict.

[0565] like Figure 97 As shown, the carrier's body 7110 can be secured to the vehicle using the securing strap assembly 7300. When it is necessary to secure the carrier to a vehicle seat, such as... Figure 15 As shown in the assembly diagram, after the vehicle body 7110 is placed on the vehicle seat, one end of the fixing strap assembly 7300 is connected to the corresponding interface of the vehicle seat (e.g., the Top Tether interface) via a connector, while the other end of the fixing strap assembly 7300 passes sequentially through the handle 7115 provided on the top side of the body 7110, around the front side of the body 7110, and connects to another corresponding interface (e.g., the ISOFIX interface) of the vehicle seat via the bottom of the body 7110. This further restricts the lateral sliding and tilting of the vehicle body 7110, thereby more securely fixing the vehicle. It should be understood that the fixing strap assembly 7300 may not pass through the handle, or in the absence of a handle, other devices (e.g., a belt guide mechanism) may be provided on the vehicle to restrict the lateral movement of the fixing strap assembly, but this will not be elaborated here.

[0566] The second embodiment of the fourth aspect of this disclosure also provides a vehicle.

[0567] refer to Figure 98 and Figure 99 , Figure 98 The diagram shows the housing 7210 of the vehicle according to the second embodiment of the fourth aspect of this disclosure, and Figure 99 Show Figure 98 Another perspective view of the housing 7210 shown, in which the window 7217 on one side of the housing 7210 is in the open state.

[0568] like Figure 98As shown, similar to the box 7110 in the previous embodiment, the box 7210 of this embodiment includes a body 7211 and a bottom support 7212. The body 7211 forms the four sides and top surface of the box 7210, the bottom support 7212 forms the bottom of the box 7210, and the body 7211 is detachably connected to and covers the bottom support 7212 to form a holding space for carrying a pet. Specifically, as Figure 98 As shown, the main body 7211 includes a first support member and a second support member, such as a side support member 72111 and an upper support member 72112. The side support member 72111 includes a first sub-support member 72111a and a second sub-support member 72111b, which respectively constitute two opposite sides of the main body 7211. The upper support member 72112 includes a first sheet-like member 72112a, a second sheet-like member 72112b, and a third sheet-like member 72112c connected together. The second sheet-like member 72112b constitutes the top surface of the main body 7211, while the first sheet-like member 72112a and the third sheet-like member 72112c respectively constitute at least a portion of the other two opposite sides.

[0569] In one example, the side support 72111 and the upper support 72112 can be at least partially detachably connected to each other via at least one connecting assembly. For example, a portion of the first sub-support 72111a and a portion of the second sub-support 72111b of the side support 72111 can be fixedly (e.g., non-detachably) connected to both sides of the upper support 72112, while the other portion of each can be detachably connected to the upper support 72112 via a second connecting assembly. Specifically, each second connecting assembly can include a third connecting member 72118 and a fourth connecting member 72119 detachably connected to each other, wherein the third connecting member 72118 is disposed on a side of the upper support 72112 and extends along a portion of that side, and the fourth connecting member 72119 is disposed at a corresponding position on the top edge of the side support 72111 (i.e., the first sub-support 72111a or the second sub-support 72111b). Optionally, the third connectors 72118 disposed on the two sides of the upper support 72112 are symmetrically arranged, that is, the two second connecting components are symmetrically arranged relative to the housing 7210. Although not shown, in other examples, the side support 72111 and the upper support 72112 may also be completely separated from each other by connecting components, which will not be described in detail here.

[0570] In addition, windows may be provided on one or more sides of the main body 7211 to allow observation of the pet inside the enclosure 7210 and / or to provide openings for the pet to enter and exit the enclosure.

[0571] In one example, such as Figure 98As shown, a first window 7216 may be provided on the side support member 72111 of the main body 7211. For example, the first window 7216 may be provided on the first sub-support member 72111a and / or the second sub-support member 72111b of the side support member 72111, that is, corresponding to the front and / or rear sides of the box 7210 when placed in a vehicle, and is configured to be covered by a first sealing member (e.g., a first curtain 7216a). Optionally, the first curtain 7216a may be fixedly connected to the first window 7216, or detachably connected to the first window 7216. The first curtain 7216a may have a transparent material and / or a breathable material, such as a breathable mesh, to allow air circulation inside and outside the box 7210, and to allow the user to observe the interior of the box 7210.

[0572] In an optional or alternative example, such as Figure 98 As shown, a second window 7217 may be provided at a position on the side of the upper support 72112 located on the housing 7210, and the second window 7217 is configured to be covered by a second sealing member, such as a second curtain and / or a side door 7217b. At least a portion of the second sealing member is detachably connected to the body 7211. In one example, a portion of the second sealing member may be fixedly connected to the body 7211, for example, at least a portion of one side of the window frame of the second window 7217, while other portions may be detachably connected to the second window 7217 via a flexible detachable connection structure (e.g., a zipper structure), allowing the second sealing member to be opened laterally relative to the second window 7217 (see [link]). Figure 99 The second sealing element may be made of a transparent and / or breathable material, a light-blocking material, or the same material as other parts of the body 7211 (e.g., a seat fabric), and the second sealing element may be made of a flexible or rigid material. In this embodiment, the flexible detachable connection structure may be a zipper structure. Specifically, for example... Figure 98 As shown, the zipper structure may consist of a single zipper extending along a portion of the outer periphery of window 7217 (i.e., the zipper structure has a single zipper pull), but this disclosure is not limited thereto. The zipper structure may also be modified as needed to consist of two zippers that open in opposite directions (i.e., the zipper structure has a double zipper pull).

[0573] Specifically, only one second window 7217 may be provided, for example, located on one side of the main body 7211 (such as the left or right side), and a second sealing element for covering or closing the second window 7217 may be provided. This second sealing element may be a second curtain (such as one with a breathable material or mesh material) or a side door. Optionally or alternatively, two second windows 7217 may be provided, located on opposite sides of the main body 7211 (i.e., the left and right sides). Correspondingly, each of the two second windows 7217 may be provided with a corresponding second sealing element, and the two second sealing elements may be made of the same material or different materials. For example, one of the second sealing elements may be a second curtain, such as a breathable mesh fabric; while the other sealing element may be a side door 7217b, which can be used for pets to enter and exit the enclosure. When the enclosure 7210 is placed on a vehicle seat, the side door 7217b may be located on the side closest to the vehicle door. The side door 7217b may be covered with the same material as the seat cover of the main body 7211. It should be noted that this disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments. The positions of the second sealing members on both sides of the main body 7211 can be interchanged and they can have the same material.

[0574] Furthermore, the enclosure 7210 can also incorporate anti-collision material. This material can have a certain thickness and can be installed on either side of the main body 7211 of the enclosure 7210 to enhance the pet's safety within the enclosure 7210. In a specific example, such as... Figure 98 and Figure 99 As shown, the anti-collision material can be disposed in the side door 7217b, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. The anti-collision material can also be disposed on each side of the body 7211, or on two opposite sides of the body 7211 (e.g., the side near the door and its opposite side). Specifically, the anti-collision material can be a buffer body, and the buffer body can be made of foam and / or plastic and / or elastomer. The specific materials can be similar to those in the foregoing embodiments, and therefore will not be described again. In addition, the buffer body can be constructed as a separately molded buffer block, and then covered and fixed (e.g., sewn) in the seat fabric at the side door 7217b, or sewn into a cloth bag and detachably fixed to the side door 7217b by hook and loop fasteners or snap fasteners. By providing such an anti-collision material, better cushioning can be provided for the pet in the enclosure when the vehicle is involved in an accidental collision, especially when its side is impacted, thereby better protecting the pet.

[0575] It should be noted that in the above embodiments of this aspect, "front", "rear", "left" and "right" refer to the direction of the housings 7110 and 7210 when they are placed on a vehicle seat or other mobile device. For example, "front" refers to the forward direction of the vehicle or mobile device, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.
