[0144] Example 1
[0145] like Figure 1 As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 can be, but is not limited to, a sleeping box, pet carrier, pet ride-on bag, pet bag, etc. The animal carrying device A1000 can be fixed to a vehicle seat or carried by a person (e.g., carried by a hand, slung over a shoulder, etc.). The animal carrying device A1000 includes a body A100, a base A200, and a first cover A600a. The first cover A600a is movably connected to the body A100, allowing it to switch between a first position and a second position. The body A100 is positioned above the base A200, and the body A100 and the base A200 together form a carrying space A103. The base A200 may be made of, for example, a rigid material to support the body A100, and the body A100 may include a fabric sheet and other materials surrounding the carrying space A103. (See reference...) Figure 4The animal carrying device A1000 has an internal carrying space A103 for accommodating animals. It should be noted that the "first blocking member A600a is movably connected to the body A100" includes the following different implementations: the first blocking member A600a is connected to the body A100, and at least a portion of the first blocking member A600a is movable relative to the body A100 (e.g., flipping or sliding); the first blocking member A600a is detachably connected to the body A100, allowing the first blocking member A600a to be separated from the body A100. Exemplarily, the first blocking member A600a is made of a fabric sheet, one end of the first blocking member A600a is sewn onto the body A100, and the other end of the first blocking member A600a is rotatable relative to the body A100 along the sewn line, between a position near the top surface of the body A100 and a position near the side surface of the body A100.
[0146] Figure 1 and Figure 2 A perspective view of the animal carrying device A1000 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. Wherein, Figure 1 The first shielding member A600a in the animal carrying device A1000 is located in the second position. Figure 2 In the animal carrying device A1000, the first shielding member A600a is located in the first position. The first shielding member A600a can be used to block the opening of the carrying space A103 to achieve switching between sunshade and ventilation. For example, when outdoors, the first shielding member A600a can cover the opening to achieve sunshade (see reference). Figure 1 When inside a vehicle, the first cover A600a can be removed from the opening to allow for ventilation (see [reference]). Figure 2 ).
[0147] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the body A100 has a top wall A170 and multiple side walls connected to the top wall A170. The multiple side walls of the body A100 may include a left side wall A120, a right side wall A130, a front side wall A140, and a rear side wall A160. Specifically, the front side wall A140 forms the front wall of the bearing space A103, the left side wall A120 forms the left wall of the bearing space A103, the right side wall A130 forms the right wall of the bearing space A103, the rear side wall A160 forms the rear wall of the bearing space A103, and the top wall A170 forms the top wall of the bearing space A103. In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the bearing space A103 is formed by a base A200, and the front side wall A140, left side wall A120, right side wall A130, and rear side wall A160 are directly connected to the base A200. In some alternative embodiments, the body A100 has a bottom wall that is fixed to the base A200 and forms the bottom wall of the bearing space A103. In some embodiments of this disclosure, the base A200 constitutes the bottom wall of the body A100.
[0148] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 is equipped with handles A180 for lifting the animal carrying device A1000. There are two handles A180, which are fixed to the front side wall A140 and the rear side wall A160 respectively. Specifically, each handle A180 is formed by webbing sewn onto the main body A100.
[0149] like Figure 4 As shown, an anchoring structure A400 is provided on the rear sidewall A160 of the animal carrier A1000. The anchoring structure A400 is adapted to connect with a vehicle seat to secure the animal carrier A1000 to the vehicle seat. In this embodiment, the anchoring structure A400 includes at least one ISOFIX connection component A410 for connecting with at least one connection point of the vehicle seat. In an alternative embodiment, the anchoring structure A400 includes at least one Latch connection component for connecting with at least one connection point of the vehicle seat. The specific structure of the anchoring structure A400 is not described in detail here.
[0150] Continue to refer to Figure 4 The rear sidewall A160 of the main body A100 is provided with a connecting fabric A905, forming a through-channel between the connecting fabric A905 and the rear sidewall A160 for a pull rod, such as that of a suitcase, to pass through. The through-channel extends vertically to the base A200, i.e., it extends vertically. Specifically, the left and right ends of the connecting fabric A905 are respectively sewn to the sidewall of the rear sidewall A160 of the main body A100. In this embodiment, the connecting fabric A905 has a multi-layered woven structure, forming a pocket between the layers for storing items. A zipper A904 is provided at the opening of the pocket for opening or closing. Optionally, the connecting fabric A905 and the anchoring structure A400 are located on the same side of the main body A100.
[0151] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the top wall A170 of the main body A100 is provided with a top wall viewing area A171. The top wall viewing area A171 includes a top wall opening A1701 and a top wall ventilation mesh A903 covering the top wall opening A1701. The shape of the top wall ventilation mesh A903 matches the shape of the top wall opening A1701. In other words, the position of the top wall ventilation mesh A903 corresponds to the position of the top wall opening A1701. The arrangement of the top wall ventilation mesh A903 facilitates observation of the animal inside the main body A100 and increases the ventilation of the main body A100. In some alternative embodiments, the top wall viewing area A171 may be formed by the top wall opening A1701 and a transparent object disposed at the top wall opening A1701 to facilitate the viewing of the top wall viewing area A171. This application does not limit this.
[0152] like Figure 1 As shown, one of the left side wall A120 and the right side wall A130 of the body A100 is provided with an opening (i.e., the first opening A1301), which can be covered by a breathable mesh A901; as Figure 2 As shown, one of the left side wall A120 and the right side wall A130 of the body A100 is provided with an opening (i.e., a second opening A1201), which is covered by a breathable mesh A902. In this embodiment, the right side wall A130 is provided with a first opening A1301, and a breathable mesh A901 is provided at the first opening A1301; the left side wall A120 is provided with a second opening A1201, and a breathable mesh A902 is provided at the second opening A1201. The shape of the breathable mesh A901 matches the shape of the first opening A1301, and the shape of the breathable mesh A902 matches the shape of the second opening A1201. In other words, the position of the breathable mesh A901 corresponds to the position of the first opening A1301, and the position of the breathable mesh A902 corresponds to the position of the second opening A1201. The breathable mesh A901 and breathable mesh A902 have basically the same structure and shape, and the areas corresponding to the first opening A1301 and the second opening A1201 are the buffer areas. By setting breathable meshes (including the top wall breathable mesh A903, breathable mesh A901 and breathable mesh A902), the air permeability of the carrying space A103 inside the animal carrying device A1000 can be improved.
[0153] In another embodiment, a breathable mesh A901 and a top wall breathable mesh A903 may be provided on the body A100, but not a breathable mesh A902. In still other embodiments, a top wall breathable mesh A903 is provided on the top wall A170, and at least one of the front side wall A140 and the rear side wall A160 is provided with other breathable meshes (not shown). In other embodiments, a breathable mesh A901 is provided on one of the left side wall A120 and the right side wall A130 of the body A100, and at least one of the front side wall A140 and the rear side wall A160 of the body A100 is provided with other breathable meshes (not shown), while the top wall A170 is not provided with a top wall breathable mesh A903. In other words, other breathable mesh sheets are provided on any at least two adjacent surfaces of the front side wall A140, rear side wall A160, left side wall A120, right side wall A130 and top wall A170 of the main body A100, and this application does not limit this.
[0154] Back Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at least one of the top wall breathable mesh A903 and breathable mesh A901 can be closably mounted on the body A100 via, for example, a zipper A904, to allow the load-bearing space A103 to be opened or closed (see...). Figure 4This facilitates animal entry and exit from the animal carrying device A1000. A breathable mesh A903 is closable at the top wall opening A1701 via a zipper A904. Optionally, when the breathable mesh A903 is not closed by the zipper A904, it can be flipped back and forth relative to the body A100, or it can be flipped left and right relative to the body A100, or it can be separated from the top wall A170. A breathable mesh A901 is closable at the first opening A1301 via a zipper A904. Optionally, when the breathable mesh A901 is not closed by the zipper A904, the breathable mesh A901 can be flipped back and forth relative to the body A100, or the breathable mesh A901 can be flipped up and down relative to the body A100, or the breathable mesh A901 can be separated from the right side wall A130. Similarly, the breathable mesh A902 is closable at the second opening A1201 via the zipper A904. Optionally, when the breathable mesh A902 is not closed by the zipper A904, the breathable mesh A902 can be flipped back and forth relative to the body A100, or the breathable mesh A902 can be flipped up and down relative to the body A100, or the breathable mesh A902 can be separated from the left side wall A120. In this embodiment, the side of the top wall breathable mesh A903 closest to the right side wall A130 is connected to the top wall A170 by means of, for example, sewing, to allow the top wall breathable mesh A903 to rotate left and right relative to the main body A100. One side of the breathable mesh A901 is connected to the right side wall A130 by means of, for example, sewing, to allow the breathable mesh A901 to rotate vertically or horizontally. One side of the breathable mesh A902 is connected to the left side wall A120 by means of, for example, sewing, to allow the breathable mesh A902 to rotate vertically or horizontally.
[0155] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first shielding member A600a is rotatably disposed on the body A100. The first shielding member A600a is provided with a first protective structure A610, which is used to buffer external impacts that the buffered area may receive, thereby reducing the potential harm to the animal within the carrying space A103 caused by the external impact force. One end of the first shielding member A600a serves as a first pivot end A601 and is connected to the body A100, allowing the first shielding member A600a to rotate between a first position and a second position. Wherein, as... Figure 1 As shown, the second position is a sunshade position, which can prevent sunlight from shining into the main body A100 from the top wall A170; as Figure 2As shown, the first position is a protective position, which can buffer the impact force that the side wall of the body A100 may bear. The end of the first shielding member A600a away from the first pivot end A601 serves as the first movable end A603. Specifically, the first pivot end A601 is connected to the body A100 at a position located between the top wall viewing area A171 and the first opening A1301. In other words, the body A100 has a first fixed connection part A101 connected to the first pivot end A601 of the first shielding member A600a. The first fixed connection part A101 is located between the top wall viewing area A171 and the first opening A1301. The first fixed connection part A101 can be located on the top wall A170 of the body A100 or on the right side wall A130 of the body A100.
[0156] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The first blocking member A600a can be an elastic member, capable of flexibly deforming and returning to its original shape. The first blocking member A600a is adapted to be connected to the body A100 or the base A200 via a fixing mechanism A700, so that the first blocking member A600a adaptably fits against the outer surface of the side wall of the body A100 or the outer surface of the top wall A170. In other words, the first blocking member A600a can be fixed to at least one of the top wall A170 and the side wall of the body A100 via the fixing mechanism A700. The specific structure of the fixing mechanism A700 will be described in detail later.
[0157] Reference Figure 2 When the first shielding member A600a is in the first position, the first protective structure A610 at least partially covers one of the multiple sidewalls of the main body A100, thus buffering the sidewall from potential external impacts. At this time, the first shielding member A600a is connected to the sidewall of the main body A100 or the base A200 via a fixing mechanism A700, so that the first shielding member A600a fits against the outer surface of the sidewall of the main body A100. Specifically, when the first shielding member A600a is in the first position, the first protective structure A610 of the first shielding member A600a at least partially covers the right sidewall A130. More specifically, the first protective structure A610 covers the first opening A1301 where the breathable mesh A901 is located (i.e., the breathable mesh A901, which also covers the buffered area on the right sidewall A130). This buffers the buffered area on the right sidewall A130 from potential external impacts. Alternatively, no opening may be provided on the right side wall A130. (See reference) Figure 1 and Figure 2When the first shielding member A600a is in the second position, it at least partially covers the top wall viewing area A171. At this time, the first shielding member A600a is connected to the top wall A170 of the body A100 via the fixing mechanism A700, so that the first shielding member A600a fits against the outer surface of the top wall A170. In this embodiment, when the first shielding member A600a is in the second position, it covers the top wall viewing area A171; specifically, it covers the top wall opening A1701 (which is equivalent to completely covering the top wall breathable mesh A903). This not only blocks sunlight, preventing direct sunlight from entering the bearing space A103, but also appropriately buffers the external impact force that the top wall may withstand. In other words, when the first shielding member A600a is in the second position, the first shielding member A600a covers the top wall viewing area A171. The first protective structure A610 can cover the top wall viewing area A171 or only cover a part of the top wall viewing area A171. This application does not limit this.
[0158] In this embodiment, the shape of the first protective structure A610 of the first shielding member A600a matches the shape of the first opening A1301 (i.e., the buffer area of the right side wall A130), which is equivalent to matching the shape of the breathable mesh A901 of the right side wall A130. In some alternative embodiments, the shape of the first protective structure A610 may not match the shape of the breathable mesh A901, as long as the first protective structure A610 can substantially cover the breathable mesh A901.
[0159] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the first shielding member A600a has a first side surface A631 and a second side surface A632 disposed opposite to each other. The first side surface A631 is adapted to face the breathable mesh A903 on the top wall. The second side surface A632 is adapted to face one of the multiple side walls of the body A100. When the first side surface A631 is in the second position, the first side surface A631 abuts against and shields the first opening A1301 on the top wall of the body A100, while the second side surface A632 is exposed to the outside; when the first side surface A631 moves from the second position to the first position, the second side surface A632 abuts against and shields the side wall of the body A100, while the first side surface A631 is exposed to the outside. The first shielding member A600a includes a first shielding fabric cover A630, and a first protective structure A610 is disposed within the first shielding fabric cover A630. The first shielding fabric cover A630 is a multi-layer woven fabric structure, that is, the first protective structure A610 is disposed between two adjacent layers of woven fabric. Specifically, the multiple layers of fabric are connected by means such as sewing, bonding, or heat welding. The first covering fabric cover A630 is formed as a first side A631 and a second side A632. One end of the first covering fabric cover A630 forms a first pivot end A601, and the other end forms a first movable end A603. The first pivot end A601 is fixedly connected to the first fixed connection part A101 by means such as sewing. Optionally, the first pivot end A601 is fixedly connected to the first fixed connection part A101 by means such as welding or bonding, or the first pivot end A601 is detachably connected to the first fixed connection part A101 by mutually cooperating components (such as mutually cooperating hooks and buckles, zippers, etc.).
[0160] The first protective structure A610 includes a first protective layer A611 and a second protective layer A612. The second protective layer A612 is stacked on top of the first protective layer A611, and the second protective layer A612 is further away from the first side surface A631 than the first protective layer A611. That is, when the first shielding member A600a is in the first position, the second side surface A632 faces the first opening A1301 (that is, faces the breathable mesh A901), and the first protective layer A611 is further away from the first opening A1301 than the second protective layer A612.
[0161] The first protective layer A611 has better elasticity than the second protective layer A612. The second protective layer A612 has a plate-like structure and is made of at least one of PE (polyethylene), EPP (expanded polypropylene), EPS (expanded polystyrene), and EPO (expanded polyolefin). The first protective layer A611 is made of foam, such as inert foam. Thus, when the buffered area of the right side wall A130 is impacted, the first protective layer A611 can effectively absorb the external impact force, while the second protective layer A612 can reduce the deformation of the first shielding member A600a, thereby better reducing the deformation of the right side wall A130 under external impact.
[0162] Of course, in other embodiments, the first protective structure A610 may also have more protective layers, such as three or four protective layers. For example, the first protective structure A610 has a third protective layer. The third protective layer may be a PE board, EPP board, or EPS board, etc. Optionally, the third protective layer is located on the side of the first protective layer A611 away from the second protective layer A612. That is, the first protective layer A611 is located between the second protective layer A612 and the third protective layer. This is equivalent to the middle layer of the first protective structure A610 being foam, and the outer layers on both sides of the middle layer being PE boards, EPP boards, or EPS boards, etc. Optionally, the third protective layer is located between the first protective layer A611 and the second protective layer A612.
[0163] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the fixing mechanism A700 includes a first fixing member A711, a first mating member A721, and a second mating member A722. The first fixing member A711 is disposed on the first blocking member A600a. The first mating member A721 is disposed on the base or on the side wall of the main body, and is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing member A711 so that the first blocking member A600a fits against the outer surface of the side wall. The second mating member A722 is disposed on the top wall A170, and is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing member A711 so that the first blocking member A600a fits against the outer surface of the top wall A170. This prevents the first blocking member A600a from being accidentally lifted.
[0164] Combination Figures 3 to 5As shown, the first fixing member A711 is disposed on the first movable end A603 of the first blocking member A600a. The first mating member A721 is disposed on the base A200 or on the body A100 at a position between the first opening A1301 and the base A200. In this embodiment, the first mating member A721 is disposed on the base A200. When the first blocking member A600a is in the first position, the first fixing member A711 and the first mating member A721 are detachably connected, so that the first movable end A603 is fixed on the base A200, at which time the first blocking member A600a at least partially covers the right side wall A130. Specifically, when the first shielding member A600a is in the first position, the lower edge of the first protective structure A610 is flush with or extends downward beyond the upper edge of the right side of the base A200 (i.e., the upper edge of the right side of the base A200), thus better buffering the external impact force that the buffered area of the right side wall A130 may bear. More specifically, the first fixing member A711 and the first mating member A721 are a pair of magnets that can attract each other. The first fixing member A711 is embedded in the first shielding cloth cover A630, specifically, the first fixing member A711 is fixed in the first shielding cloth cover A630 by, for example, sewing. The first mating member A721 is embedded in the base A200. This facilitates the detachable connection of the first fixing member A711 and the first mating member A721, preventing the first shielding member A600a from being accidentally lifted, and also makes the appearance of the animal carrying device A1000 more concise and aesthetically pleasing.
[0165] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 The second mating member A722 is disposed on the body A100 at a position between the top wall viewing area A171 and the second opening A1201 (i.e., the breathable mesh A902). That is, the second mating member A722 is disposed on the side of the top wall viewing area A171 opposite to the first fixed connection portion A101. In this embodiment, the second mating member A722 is a magnet capable of engaging with the first fixing member A711. In other words, the first fixing member A711, the first mating member A721, and the second mating member A722 are all magnets. Specifically, the second mating member A722 is embedded within the top wall A170 of the body A100, and is fixed to the top wall A170 of the body A100 by sewing. When the first blocking member A600a is flipped to the second position, the first fixing member A711 engages with the second mating member A722, thereby fixing the first movable end A603 to the body A100 to prevent the first blocking member A600a from being accidentally lifted. Thus, when the first blocking member A600a is flipped between the first and second positions, the first fixing member A711 can automatically engage with the second mating member A722 or the first mating member A721 at the corresponding position.
[0166] Optionally, multiple second mating parts A722 can be arranged around the top wall viewing area A171, and multiple first fixing parts A711 can also be provided at the corresponding positions of the first blocking part A600a, so that the first blocking part A600a can be more securely fixed to the top wall A170. Similarly, multiple first mating parts A721 can also be arranged around the first opening A1301, and multiple first fixing parts A711 can also be provided at the corresponding positions of the first blocking part A600a, so that the first blocking part A600a can be more securely fixed to the side wall of the body A100. Optionally, the first fixing part A711 is a hook, and the first mating part A721 and the second mating part A722 are respectively hanging rings suitable for being hooked by the first fixing part A711. Alternatively, the first mating part A721 and the second mating part A722 are respectively hooks, and the first fixing part A711 is a hanging ring. This application does not limit this.
[0167] In an alternative embodiment, the fixing mechanism A700 includes a first fixing member A711, a second fixing member (not shown), a first mating member A721, and a second mating member A722. The first fixing member A711 is disposed on the first blocking member A600a. The first mating member A721 is disposed on the base A200 or on the side wall of the body A100, and is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing member A711 so that the first blocking member A600a fits against the outer surface of the side wall. The second fixing member (not shown) is disposed on the first blocking member A600a. The second mating member A722 is disposed on the top wall A170, and is adapted to be detachably connected to the second fixing member (not shown) so that the first blocking member A600a fits against the outer surface of the top wall. The first fixing member A711 and the first mating member A721 can be a pair of magnets, a pair of snaps, or a pair of adhesive fasteners, or a zipper that can be pulled together, or a hook and loop that can be engaged with each other. The second fastener and the second mating part A722 can be, for example, a pair of magnets, a pair of snaps, or a pair of adhesive fasteners, or a zipper that can be pulled together, or a hook and a loop that can be mated together. The two sets of mating components, the first fastener A711 and the first mating part A721, and the second fastener and the second mating part A722, can be the same or different, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0168] According to the animal carrying device A1000 provided in this embodiment, by rotatably installing the first shielding member A600a on the main body A100, the user can selectively place the first shielding member A600a in a second position or a first position according to the actual environment. When the animal carrying device A1000 is taken outdoors, the first shielding member A600a can be flipped to the second position, that is, the first shielding member A600a covers the top wall viewing area A171. In this way, the pet inside the animal carrying device A1000 can be prevented from being exposed to sunlight, ensuring air circulation inside the animal carrying device A1000, while also providing a certain degree of protection and cushioning. When the first shielding member A600a is flipped to the first position, the first protective structure A610 installed on the first shielding member A600a can provide good protection and cushioning for the side walls of the animal carrying device A1000. The animal carrying device A1000 provided in this embodiment can both provide sunshade and have a good protective and cushioning effect. In addition, the first cover A600a, which can be flipped, has the advantages of being easy to operate and not easily lost.
[0169] In this embodiment, since the first protective structure A610 is only provided on the right side wall A130 of the main body A100, when the animal carrying device A1000 is placed on a vehicle seat, the right side wall with the first protective structure A610 can be close to the vehicle door. This can reduce the potential injury to the animal inside the animal carrying device A1000 caused by an accidental collision with the vehicle door.
[0170] Example 2
[0171] Figure 7 A perspective view of an animal carrying device A1000 according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein the animal carrying device A1000 is equipped with a buffer body A510 and a first shielding member A600a is located in a first position.
[0172] It should be noted that when the animal carrying device A1000 in the second embodiment is not equipped with the buffer body A510, its structure can refer to the structure of the animal carrying device A1000 in the first embodiment.
[0173] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 includes a body A100, a base A200, and a first shielding member A600a. The body A100 is positioned above the base A200. The top wall A170 of the body A100 has a top wall viewing area A171, which is covered by a top wall breathable mesh A903. One of the left side wall A120 and the right side wall A130 of the body A100 has a first opening A1301, which is covered by a breathable mesh A901. The other of the left side wall A120 and the right side wall A130 of the body A100 has a second opening A1201, which is covered by a breathable mesh A902. In this embodiment, the right side wall A130 is provided with a first opening A1301, and a breathable mesh A901 is provided at the first opening A1301; the left side wall A120 is provided with a second opening A1201, and a breathable mesh A902 is provided at the second opening A1201. The breathable mesh A901 and breathable mesh A902 have essentially the same structure and shape, and the areas corresponding to the first opening A1301 and the second opening A1201 are buffer areas.
[0174] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 The first shielding member A600a is rotatably disposed on the body A100 and is provided with a first protective structure A610, so as to flip between a second position and a first position. The first pivot end A601 of the first shielding member A600a is connected to the body A100 at a position located between the top wall viewing area A171 (i.e., the top wall breathable mesh A903) and the first opening A1301 (breathable mesh), that is, the first pivot end A601 is connected to the first fixed connection part A101 of the body A100.
[0175] This embodiment differs from the first embodiment described above in at least the following ways.
[0176] like Figure 7 As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 also includes a buffer body A510. The buffer body A510 is detachably mounted to the body A100 via a connecting mechanism and at least partially covers another of the plurality of side walls of the body A100. In this embodiment, the buffer body A510 at least partially covers the left side wall A120 of the body A100. Optionally, the buffer body A510 is adapted to at least partially cover the right side wall A130, and the first shielding member A600a is adapted to at least partially cover the left side wall A140; this application is not limiting in this regard. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 7The buffer body A510 is detachably attached to the second opening A1201 (i.e., the breathable mesh A902) via a connecting mechanism. This is equivalent to the buffer body A510 being detachably mounted on the left side wall A140 of the main body A100 via the connecting mechanism, covering the second opening A1201 (i.e., covering the area to be buffered on the left side wall A120). The shape of the buffer body A510 matches the shape of the second opening A1201, which is equivalent to matching the shape of the breathable mesh A902 on the left side wall A120. In some alternative embodiments, the shape of the buffer body A510 may not match the shape of the second opening A1201, as long as the buffer body A510 substantially covers the second opening A1201.
[0177] In this embodiment, since the left side wall A120 is provided with a detachable buffer body A510 and the right side wall A130 can be provided with a flip-up first protective structure A610, it is equivalent to both the left side wall A120 and the right side wall A130 of the animal carrying device A1000 being provided with anti-collision buffer structures. Either side wall of the animal carrying device A1000 can be placed near the vehicle door, thus eliminating the need to place the animal carrying device A1000 on a specific seat in the vehicle. This allows for flexible placement of the animal carrying device A1000, improving both its usability and its anti-collision buffer performance.
[0178] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the buffer body A510 includes a first buffer layer A511, a second buffer layer A512, and a protective sleeve A513, with the first buffer layer A511 and the second buffer layer A512 stacked together. The protective sleeve A513 covers the first buffer layer A511 and the second buffer layer A512. The protective sleeve A513 can prevent the first buffer layer A511 and the second buffer layer A512 of the buffer body A510 from separating during use, and also facilitates the installation of the buffer body A510 on the main body A100. The buffer body A510 has a back side A515 facing the main body A100 and a front side A514 away from the main body A100. A breathable mesh is provided on the side of the main body A100 facing the buffer body A510. The side of the protective sleeve A513 away from the main body A100 forms the front side A514 of the buffer body A510.
[0179] In this design, the first buffer layer A511 is farther from the main body A100 than the second buffer layer A512, meaning the second buffer layer A512 is closer to the main body A100. In other words, the first buffer layer A511 is positioned near the front side A514 of the buffer body A510, while the second buffer layer A512 is positioned near the back side A515 of the buffer body A510. The first buffer layer A511 has better elasticity than the second buffer layer A512. Specifically, the second buffer layer A512 has a plate-like structure, and its material is selected from at least one of EPP foam, EPS foam, and EPO foam. The first buffer layer A511 is made of foam. This buffer body A510 can effectively absorb external impact forces and reduce the deformation of the breathable mesh of the main body A100 under external impact forces.
[0180] Of course, in other embodiments, the buffer body A510 may also have more buffer layers, such as three or four buffer layers. For example, the buffer body A510 has a third buffer layer, which is located between the first buffer layer A511 and the second buffer layer A512, or on one side of the first buffer layer A511. The third buffer layer may be a PE board or an EPP board, etc.
[0181] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting mechanism includes a first mating part A520 and a second mating part A150. The buffer body A510 is provided with a plurality of first mating parts A520, which are disposed on the back surface A515 of the buffer body A510. The main body A100 is correspondingly provided with a plurality of second mating parts A150, and the plurality of first mating parts A520 are adapted to engage and connect with the plurality of second mating parts A150 so that the buffer body A510 can substantially cover the area to be buffered. The plurality of second mating parts A150 are respectively located on opposite sides of the second opening A1201. For example, multiple second mating parts A150 are respectively located on the upper side of the second opening A1201 (i.e., the second mating part A150 is disposed on the body A100 between the second opening A1201 and the top wall viewing area A171) and the second mating part A150 is located on the lower side of the second opening A1201 (i.e., the second mating part A150 is disposed on the base A200 or disposed on the body A100 between the base A200 and the second opening A1201). Alternatively, for example, the second mating parts A150 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the second opening A1201. The positions of multiple first mating parts A520 correspond to the multiple second mating parts A150. Specifically, the buffer body A510 is generally elongated, and the first mating parts A520 are respectively disposed at both ends of the buffer body A510. The multiple first mating parts A150 are respectively disposed on the edge attachments of the buffer body A510. More specifically, multiple first mating parts A150 are respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the buffer body A510.
[0182] like Figure 7 As shown, one of the first mating part A520 and the second mating part A150 is a hook, and the other of the first mating part A520 and the second mating part A150 is a hook fastener. The hook is adapted to be hooked onto the hook fastener. In this embodiment, the first mating part A520 provided on the buffer body A510 is a hook, and the second mating part A150 provided on the body A100 is a hook fastener. The hook fastener can be formed from webbing sewn onto the body A100. In some alternative embodiments, the first mating part A520 and the second mating part A150 are, for example, a pair of hook and snap fasteners respectively provided on the body A100 and the buffer body A510; this application does not limit this.
[0183] Example 3
[0184] Figure 10 and Figure 11 Perspective views of the animal carrying device A1000 according to the third embodiment of the present invention are shown. Among them, Figure 10 In the animal carrying device A1000, the first shielding member A600a is located in the second position, and the second shielding member A600b is located in the fourth position. Figure 11The first shield A600a of the animal carrying device A1000 is in the first position, and the second shield A600b is in the third position.
[0185] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 includes a main body A100, a base A200, a first shielding member A600a, and a second shielding member A600b. The main body A100 is positioned above the base A200. The top wall A170 of the main body A100 has a top wall viewing area A171, which is covered by a top wall breathable mesh A903. One of the left side wall A120 and the right side wall A130 of the main body A100 has a first opening A1301, which is covered by a breathable mesh A901; the other of the left side wall A120 and the right side wall A130 of the main body A100 has a second opening A1201, which is covered by a breathable mesh A902. In this embodiment, the right side wall A130 is provided with a first opening A1301, and a breathable mesh A901 is provided at the first opening A1301; the left side wall A120 is provided with a second opening A1201, and a breathable mesh A902 is provided at the second opening A1201. The breathable mesh A901 and breathable mesh A902 have essentially the same structure and shape, and the areas corresponding to the first opening A1301 and the second opening A1201 are buffer areas.
[0186] The structure of the first shielding member A600a can refer to the structure of the first shielding member A600a in the animal carrying device A1000 in the first embodiment described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0187] The animal carrying device A1000 in this embodiment differs from the animal carrying device A1000 in the first embodiment described above in at least the following ways.
[0188] Reference Figures 10 to 12The second shielding member A600b is rotatably mounted on the main body A100 and is provided with a second protective structure A620. One end of the second shielding member A600b serves as a second pivot end A602 and is connected to the main body A100, allowing the second shielding member A600b to rotate between a third position and a fourth position. The fourth position is a sunshade position, preventing sunlight from entering the main body A100 from the top wall A170; the third position is a protective position, buffering the impact forces that the side walls of the main body A100 may experience. The second shielding member A600b also has a second movable end A604 opposite to the first pivot end A601. Specifically, the second pivot end A602 is connected to the main body A100 at a position located between the top wall viewing area A171 and the second opening A1201. In other words, the main body A100 has a second fixed connection portion A102 connected to the second pivot end A602 of the second blocking member A600b. This second fixed connection portion A102 is located between the top wall viewing area A171 and the second opening A1201. The second fixed connection portion A102 can be located on the top wall A170 of the main body A100 or on the left side wall A120 of the main body A100. In other embodiments not shown, other blocking members (not shown) may also be provided, and this application does not limit this.
[0189] like Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the structure of the second blocking member A600b is basically the same as that of the first blocking member A600a. The second blocking member A600b is an elastic member. The second blocking member A600b is adapted to be connected to the first blocking member A600a, the body A100, or the base A200 via a fixing mechanism A700, such that the second blocking member A600b adaptably fits against the outer surface of the top wall A170 of the body A100 or adaptably fits against another of the plurality of side walls of the body A100. In other words, the second blocking member A600b can be fixed to at least one of the top wall A170 and the side wall of the body A100 by the fixing mechanism A700.
[0190] Reference Figure 11When the second shielding member A600b is in the third position, the second protective structure A620 at least partially covers another of the multiple sidewalls of the main body A100, thus buffering the sidewall from potential external impacts. At this time, the second shielding member A600b is connected to the sidewall of the main body A100 or the base A200 via a fixing mechanism A700, so that the second shielding member A600b fits against the outer surface of the sidewall of the main body A100. Specifically, when the second shielding member A600b is in the third position, the first protective structure A610 of the second shielding member A600b at least partially covers the left sidewall A120. More specifically, the second protective structure A620 of the second shielding member A600b covers the second opening A1201, that is, the second shielding member A600b covers the breathable mesh A902 (i.e., covers the buffered area on the left sidewall A120). This buffers the buffered area on the left sidewall A120 from potential external impacts. Optionally, the positions of the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b can be interchanged, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0191] Reference Figure 10 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 When the first shielding member A600a is in the second position and the second shielding member A600b is in the fourth position, the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b together cover the viewing area A171 of the top wall, that is, they together cover the breathable mesh A903 of the top wall. This can both block sunlight and prevent direct sunlight from entering the bearing space A103, and appropriately buffer the external impact force that the top wall may bear. Specifically, when the first shielding member A600a is in the second position and the second shielding member A600b is in the fourth position, the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b at least partially overlap. (Refer to reference...) Figure 13 When the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b overlap, the area where they overlap is called the overlapping area I. This overlapping area I can completely cover the top wall viewing area A171, or it can partially cover the top wall viewing area A171. In other words, the two blocking elements 600 overlapping at least partially includes the following implementation methods: the two blocking elements 600 completely or partially overlap, with the overlapping area I completely covering the top wall viewing area A171, and each blocking element 600 completely covering the top wall viewing area A171; the two blocking elements 600 partially overlap, with the overlapping area I partially covering the top wall viewing area A171, one of the two blocking elements 600 completely covering the top wall viewing area A171, and the other of the two blocking elements 600 partially covering the top wall viewing area A171; the two blocking elements 600 partially overlap, with the overlapping area I partially covering the top wall viewing area A171, and each blocking element 600 partially covering the top wall viewing area A171.
[0192] In this embodiment, the shape of the second protective structure A620 of the second shielding member A600b matches the shape of the second opening A1201 (i.e., the buffer area of the left side wall A120), which is equivalent to matching the shape of the breathable mesh A902 of the left side wall A120. In some alternative embodiments, the shape of the second protective structure A620 may not match the shape of the breathable mesh A902, as long as the second protective structure A620 can substantially cover the breathable mesh A902.
[0193] like Figure 10 and Figure 13 As shown, the second shielding member A600b has a first surface A641 and a second surface A642 disposed opposite to each other. The second surface A642 of the second shielding member A600b is adapted to face the side wall (i.e., the left side wall A120) of the main body A100. The second shielding member A600b includes a second shielding fabric cover A640, and a second protective structure A620 is disposed within the second shielding fabric cover A640. The second shielding fabric cover A640 has a multi-layer woven fabric structure, that is, the second protective structure A620 is disposed between two adjacent layers of fabric. Specifically, the multi-layer woven fabric is connected by means such as sewing, bonding, or heat fusion. The second shielding fabric cover A640 is formed as the first surface A641 and the second surface A642. One end of the second shielding fabric cover A640 forms a second pivot end A602, and the other end forms a second movable end A604. The second pivot end A602 is fixedly connected to the second fixed connection part A102 by means such as sewing. Optionally, the second pivot end A602 is fixedly connected to the second fixed connection part A102 by means of welding, bonding or other methods, or the second pivot end A602 is detachably connected to the second fixed connection part A102 by a mating component that can cooperate with each other (such as a hook and buckle that can cooperate with each other, a zipper that can be pulled and closed, etc.).
[0194] The second protective structure A620 includes a first protective layer A621 and a second protective layer A622. The second protective layer A622 is stacked on top of the first protective layer A621, and the second protective layer A622 is further away from the first surface A641 than the first protective layer A621. That is, when the second shielding member A600b is in the third position, the second surface A642 faces the second opening A1302 (that is, faces the breathable mesh A902), and the first protective layer A621 is further away from the second opening A1302 than the second protective layer A622.
[0195] The first protective layer A621 is similar to the first protective layer A611, and the second protective layer A622 is similar to the second protective layer A612. The first protective layer A621 has better elasticity than the second protective layer A622. The second protective layer A622 has a plate-like structure, and the material used to make the second protective layer A622 is selected from at least one of PE (POLYETHYLENE), EPP (EXPANDED POLYPROPYLENE), EPS (EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE), and EPO (EXPANDED POLYOLEFIN). The first protective layer A621 is made of foam, such as inert foam. In this way, when the buffered area of the left side wall A120 is impacted, the first protective layer A621 can effectively absorb the external impact force, and the second protective layer A622 can reduce the deformation of the second shielding member A600b, thereby better reducing the deformation of the left side wall A120 under external impact force.
[0196] Of course, in other embodiments, the second protective structure A620 may also have more protective layers, such as three or four protective layers. For example, the second protective structure A620 may have a third protective layer. The third protective layer may be a PE board, EPP board, or EPS board, etc. Optionally, the third protective layer is located on the side of the first protective layer A621 away from the second protective layer A622. That is, the first protective layer A621 is located between the second protective layer A622 and the third protective layer. This is equivalent to the middle layer of the second protective structure A620 being foam, and the outer layers on both sides of the middle layer being PE boards, EPP boards, or EPS boards, etc. Optionally, the third protective layer is located between the first protective layer A621 and the second protective layer A622.
[0197] Reference Figures 10 to 13The fixing mechanism A700 includes a first fixing component A731, a first adapter A741, a first mating component A721, and a first fixing component A711. The first fixing component A731 is disposed on the second blocking component A600b. The first adapter A741 is disposed on the base A200 or on the side wall (i.e., the left side wall A120) of the body A100; specifically, the first adapter A741 is disposed on the base A200. The first adapter A741 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing component A731 so that the second blocking component A600b fits against the outer surface of the side wall of the body A100. The first mating component A721 is disposed on the base A200 or on the side wall (i.e., the right side wall A130) of the body A100; specifically, the first mating component A721 is disposed on the base A200. The first fixing component A711 is disposed on the first blocking component A600a. The first fixing member A711 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first mating member A721 so that the first blocking member A600a fits against the outer surface of the side wall (i.e., the right side wall A130) of the body A100. The first fixing member A711 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fastening member A731 so that the second blocking member A600b is connected to the first blocking member A600a so that the first blocking member A600a and the second blocking member A600b together block the top wall viewing area A171.
[0198] The first fixing member A711 and the first mating member A721 are magnets that can attract each other. The first fixing member A711 is embedded in the first shielding cloth cover A630, and the first mating member A721 is embedded in the base A200, specifically, the first mating member A721 is embedded in the right side of the base A200. The first fixing accessory A731 and the first fitting accessory A741 are magnets that can attract each other. The first fixing accessory A731 is embedded in the second shielding cloth cover A640, and the first fitting accessory A741 is embedded in the base A200, specifically, the first fitting accessory A741 is embedded in the left side of the base A200. In other words, the first fixing member A711, the first mating member A721, the first fixing accessory A731, and the first fitting accessory A741 are all magnets. This application does not limit the number of the first fastener A711, the first mating part A721, the first fastener A731, and the first adapter A741. There can be one or more of them. Similarly, their individual quantities can be the same or different, as long as they satisfy the mutual mating relationship.
[0199] When the first blocking member A600a is in the first position, the first fixing member A711 and the first mating member A721 are attracted to each other. When the second blocking member A600b is in the third position, the first fixing member A731 and the first fitting member A741 are attracted to each other. In this embodiment, combined with Figure 11 and Figure 12 When the second shield A600b is in the third position, the lower edge of its second protective structure A620 is flush with or extends downward beyond the upper edge of the left side wall A120 of the base A200 near the main body A100 (i.e., the upper edge of the left side of the base A200). This better buffers the external impact force that the buffered area of the left side wall A120 may withstand. (Refer to...) Figure 12 and Figure 13 When the first blocking member A600a is in the second position and the second blocking member A600b is in the fourth position, the first fixing member A711 and the first fixing accessory A731 attract each other, thereby connecting the first blocking member A600a and the second blocking member A600b together. In this way, both the first blocking member A600a and the second blocking member A600b can be fixed to the top wall A170 of the main body A100, preventing the first blocking member A600a and the second blocking member A600b from being accidentally lifted. (Refer to...) Figure 13 When the first blocking member A600a is in the second position and the second blocking member A600b is in the fourth position, the first blocking member A600a and the second blocking member A600b overlap each other. Specifically, the two blocking members 600 completely overlap, and their overlapping area I completely covers the top wall ventilation mesh A903 (i.e., the top wall viewing area A171). (Refer to...) Figure 10 and Figure 13 In this embodiment, when the first blocking member A600a and the second blocking member A600b overlap, at least a portion of the second blocking member A600b is located above the first blocking member A600a, and the first fastening member A731 and the first fixing member A711 are both located within the overlapping area I. In another embodiment, referring to... Figure 12 When the first blocking member A600a and the second blocking member A600b overlap, the first blocking member A600a may be at least partially located on the second blocking member A600b.
[0200] Optionally, a second mating component A722 may also be provided with reference to the animal carrying device A1000 in the first embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second mating member A722 is, for example, a magnet. The second mating member A722 is embedded in the top wall A170 of the body A100. Thus, when the first blocking member A600a is in the second position and the second blocking member A600b is in the fourth position, the first fixing member A711 and the first fixing accessory A731 attract each other, and the first fixing member A711 and the second mating member A722 attract each other, thereby connecting the first blocking member A600a and the second blocking member A600b together and fixing them to the top wall A170. This allows the first blocking member A600a and the second blocking member A600b to be more securely mounted on the top wall A170.
[0201] Example 4
[0202] Figure 14 A perspective view of an animal carrying device A1000 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention is shown, wherein a first blocking member A600a is located in a first position and a second blocking member A600b is located in a third position. The animal carrying device A1000 in this embodiment differs from the third embodiment described above in at least the following ways.
[0203] like Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 is equipped with a fixing mechanism A700, which includes a first fixing member A711 and a first mating member A721 (see...). Figure 10 The components are: first fastener A711, second mating part A722, first fixing part A731, first adapter A741, and second adapter A742. The arrangement of the first fastener A711, first mating part A721, and second mating part A722 can be found in the first embodiment. (Combined with...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first fixing member A711 is disposed on a first blocking member A600a. A first mating member A721 is disposed on a base A200 or on a side wall (i.e., right side wall A130) of the main body A100. The first mating member A721 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing member A711 so that the first blocking member A600a fits against the outer surface of the side wall. A second mating member A722 is disposed on a top wall A170. The second mating member A722 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing member A711 so that the first blocking member A600a fits against the outer surface of the top wall A170. This prevents the first blocking member A600a from being accidentally lifted. Specifically, the first fixing member A711 is disposed on the first movable end A603 of the first blocking member A600a. The first mating member A721 is disposed on the base A200. The second mating member A722 is disposed on the body A100 at a position between the top wall viewing area A171 and the second opening A1201 (i.e., the breathable mesh A902). In this embodiment, the first fixing member A711, the first mating member A721, and the second mating member A722 are magnets.
[0204] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15 The first fixing accessory A731 is disposed on the second shielding member A600b. The arrangement of the first adapter A741 can be found in the third embodiment described above. (Combined with...) Figure 12As shown, the first adapter A741 is disposed on the base A200 or on the side wall (i.e., the left side wall A120) of the main body A100. Specifically, the first adapter A741 is disposed on the base A200. The first adapter A741 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing accessory A731 so that the second blocking member A600b fits against the outer side surface of the side wall of the main body A100. The second adapter A742 is disposed on the first blocking member A600a and is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing accessory A731, thereby connecting the second blocking member A600b and the first blocking member A600a together so that the first blocking member A600a and the second blocking member A600b together block the top wall viewing area A171. In this embodiment, the first fixing accessory A731, the first adapter A741, and the second adapter A742 are magnets that can attract each other. The first fixing component A731 is embedded within the second blocking component A600b, the first adapter A741 is embedded within the base A200, and the second adapter A742 is embedded within the first blocking component A600a. When the first blocking component A600a is in the second position and the second blocking component A600b is in the fourth position, the first fixing component A711 engages with the second mating component A722, and the first fixing component A731 engages with the second adapter A742, thereby connecting the first blocking component A600a and the second blocking component A600b together and fixing them to the top wall A170. At this time, the second blocking component A600b and the first blocking component A600a at least partially overlap.
[0205] In an alternative embodiment, the fixing mechanism A700, in addition to including the first fixing member A711, the first mating member A721, and the second mating member A722 as described in the first embodiment, also includes a first fixing accessory A731, a second fixing accessory (not shown), a first adapter A741, and a second adapter A742. The first fixing accessory A731 and the second fixing accessory are respectively disposed on the second blocking member A600b. The first adapter A741 is disposed on the side wall of the base A200 or the body A100, and the second adapter A742 is disposed on the first blocking member A600a. The first adapter A741 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing accessory A731, and the second adapter A742 is adapted to be detachably connected to the second fixing accessory. The first fixing accessory A731 and the first adapter A741 can be a pair of magnets, a pair of snaps, or a pair of adhesive fasteners, or a zipper that can be pulled together, or a hook and loop that can be engaged with each other. The second fastener and the second adapter A742 can be, for example, a pair of magnets, a pair of snaps, or a pair of hooks, or a zipper that can be pulled together, or a hook and loop that can be used together. The first fastener A731 and the first adapter A741, and the second fastener and the second adapter A742 can be the same or different, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0206] Example 5
[0207] Figure 16 This diagram shows the structure of the animal carrying device A1000 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, with the first shielding member A600a and the second shielding member A600b connected to the top wall A170.
[0208] like Figure 16 As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 includes a base A200, a body A100 disposed on the base A200, and a first shielding member A600a and a second shielding member A600b respectively rotatably disposed on the body A100. The animal carrying device A1000 in this embodiment differs from the animal carrying device A1000 in the third embodiment described above in at least the following ways.
[0209] like Figure 17 As shown, when the first shading member A600a is in the second position and the second shading member A600b is in the fourth position, the first shading member A600a and the second shading member A600b do not overlap, and the first movable end A603 of the first shading member A600a and the second movable end A604 of the second shading member A600b are in contact with each other. In other words, when the first shading member A600a and the second shading member A600b are respectively in the shading positions (i.e., the second position and the fourth position), they are located on the same plane, the first shading member A600a covers a part of the top wall viewing area A171, and the second shading member A600b covers another part of the top wall viewing area A171.
[0210] The fixing mechanism A700 includes a first fixing component A731, a first adapter A741, a first mating component A721, and a first fixing component A711. The first fixing component A711 is disposed on the first blocking component A600a, and the first fixing component A731 is disposed on the second blocking component A600b. Specifically, the first fixing component A731 is disposed on the second movable end A604 of the second blocking component A600b, and the first fixing component A711 is disposed on the first movable end A603 of the first blocking component A600a. When the first blocking component A600a is in the second position and the second blocking component A600b is in the fourth position, the first fixing component A711 and the first fixing component A731 cooperate with each other to connect the first blocking component A600a and the second blocking component A600b together. The first mating component A721 is disposed on the right side wall A130 of the main body A100 or the base A200. When the first blocking member A600a is in the first position, the first fixing member A711 and the first mating member A721 cooperate with each other, thereby causing the right side wall A130 of the first blocking member A600a to fit. The arrangement of the first adapter A741 can be found in the third embodiment described above. Figure 12As shown, the first adapter A741 is disposed on the left side wall A120 or the base A200 of the main body A100. When the second blocking member A600b is in the third position, the first fixing member A731 and the first adapter A741 are attracted to each other, thereby making the second blocking member A600b fit against the left side wall A120.
[0211] In this embodiment, the first fixing component A731 is, for example, a magnet or a hook; correspondingly, the first adapter A741 is, for example, a magnet or a hanging ring; correspondingly, the first fixing member A711 is, for example, a magnet or a hanging ring; correspondingly, the first mating member A721 is, for example, a magnet or a hook. In other words, the first fixing component A731 and the first mating member A721 are the same, both being either a magnet or a hook; the first adapter A741 and the first fixing member A711 are the same, both being either a magnet or a hanging ring. Of course, the first fixing component A731 can also be a magnet or a hanging ring, and the first adapter A741, the first mating member A721, and the first fixing member A711 can be changed accordingly.
[0212] Example 6
[0213] Figures 18 to 20 A schematic diagram of the structure of an animal carrying device A1000 according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 18 The first shielding component A600a is installed in the first position with its orientation facing upwards. Figure 19 The first shielding component A600a is installed facing away from the second position. Figure 20 The first shielding component A600a is installed facing forward in the second position.
[0214] like Figures 18 to 20 As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 includes a body A100, a base A200, and a first shielding member A600a. The structures of the body A100 and the base A200 can be referred to those in the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here. The animal carrying device A1000 in this embodiment differs from the animal carrying device A1000 in the first embodiment in at least the following ways.
[0215] Reference Figures 18 to 20The first shielding member A600a is detachably connected to the body A100 via a fixing mechanism A700, allowing the first shielding member A600a to be selectively positioned in a first position (also known as a protective position) or a second position (also known as a sunshade position). The fixing mechanism A700 includes a first fixing member A711, a second fixing member A712, a first mating member A721, and a second mating member A722. The first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 are respectively disposed on the second side A632 of the first shielding member A600a. The first mating member A721 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing member A711. The second mating member A722 is adapted to be detachably connected to the second fixing member A712. The first mating member A721 is disposed on the body A100 and located on the side of the top wall viewing area A171 closest to one of the plurality of side walls. Specifically, the first mating member A721 is located on the side of the top wall viewing area A171 closest to the right side wall A130. The second mating part A722 is disposed on one of the multiple side walls of the main body or on the base A200. Specifically, the second mating part A722 is disposed on the right side wall A130 of the main body A100 or on the right side of the base A200. Optionally, the first mating part A721 is located above the first opening A1301 on the right side wall A130, and the second mating part A722 is located below, to the left, or to the right of the first opening A1301. In this embodiment, the first mating part A721 and the second mating part A722 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the first opening A1301 (i.e., equivalent to the breathable mesh A901), and the first mating part A721 is disposed in the main body A100 between the top wall viewing area A171 and the first opening A1301 on the right side wall A130. Figure 18 and Figure 19 When the first fixing member A711 is connected to the first mating member A721, and the second fixing member A712 is connected to the second mating member A722, the first blocking member A600a is restricted to the first position. When the first fixing member A711 is connected to the first mating member A721, and the second fixing member A712 is not connected, the first blocking member A600a can rotate between the first position and the second position.
[0216] In some embodiments not shown, the fixing mechanism A700 may omit the second fixing member A712 and the second mating member A722. A detachable connection between the first fixing member A711 and the first mating member A721 allows one end of the first blocking member A600a to be connected between the top wall viewing area A171 and the first opening A1301, while the other end can move relative to the body A100. This allows the first blocking member A600a to flip between a first position and a second position, thereby enabling the first blocking member A600a to switch between the first and second positions.
[0217] like Figures 18 to 20As shown, the fixing mechanism A700 further includes a third mating member A723. The third mating member A723 is adapted to be detachably connected to the second fixing member A712. The third mating member A723 is disposed on the other side of the top wall viewing area A171, that is, on the side of the top wall viewing area A171 closest to another of the plurality of side walls of the body A100. Optionally, the other of the plurality of side walls of the body A100 may be opposite to one of the plurality of side walls of the body A100, or may be adjacent to one of the plurality of side walls of the body A100. In this embodiment, the first mating member A721 is disposed in the body A100 between the first opening A1301 on the top wall viewing area A171 and the right side wall A130, and the third mating member A723 is disposed in the body A100 between the second opening A1201 on the top wall viewing area A171 and the left side wall A120. In other words, the first mating member A721 and the third mating member A723 are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the top wall viewing area A171. When the first fixing member A711 is connected to the first mating member A721 and the second fixing member A712 is connected to the third mating member A723, the first blocking member A600a is restricted to the second position.
[0218] like Figures 18 to 20 As shown, the first shielding member A600a has a first side surface A631 and a second side surface A632, and can be mounted on the body A100 either facing forward or backward. Figure 20 As shown, forward mounting refers to mounting the second side A632 of the first shielding member A600a facing the main body A100; as Figure 19 As shown, reverse installation means that the first side A631 of the first shielding member A600a faces the main body A100, that is, the second side A632 of the first shielding member A600a faces away from the main body A100. The first mating member A711 and the second mating member A712 are respectively disposed on the second side A632 of the first shielding member A600a. When the first shielding member A600a is installed in the second position, the first shielding member A600a can be installed facing forward on the top wall A170 of the main body A100, or it can be installed in reverse on the top wall A170, as long as the first shielding member A600a can completely cover the top wall viewing area A171. That is to say, when the first shielding member A600a is in the second position, the first shielding member A600a has a reverse installation method with the first side A631 of the first shielding member A600a facing towards the top wall viewing area A171 and a forward installation method with the first side A631 facing away from the top wall viewing area A171. When the first blocking member A600a is installed in the second position in a forward mounting manner, at least a part of the fixing mechanism A700 is blocked by the first blocking member A600a. Specifically, the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 are located between the first blocking member A600a and the body A100, and are covered by the first blocking member A600a.
[0219] Combination Figure 22 As shown, the first shielding member A600a includes a first shielding cloth cover A630 and a first protective structure A610 disposed within the first shielding cloth cover A630. One side of the first shielding cloth cover A630 is formed as a first side surface A631, and the other side is formed as a second side surface A632. A first fixing member A711 and a second fixing member A712 are disposed on the first shielding cloth cover A630. The first protective structure A610 in this embodiment can refer to the first protective structure A610 in the first embodiment described above, and will not be repeated here. When the first shielding member A600a is installed in the first position, the first protective structure A610 at least covers the first opening A1301 of the right side wall A130, and the first shielding member A600a needs to be installed upright on the body A100, so that the first protective structure A610 on the first shielding member A600a can better perform its protective function.
[0220] In one embodiment, the first fixing member A711 is positioned at a predetermined distance from the outer edge of the first blocking member A600a. This predetermined distance ensures that when the first side surface A631 of the first blocking member A600a faces one of the plurality of side walls of the body A100 (e.g., the right side wall A130) (i.e., the first blocking member A600a is installed in the reverse direction at the first position), at least one of the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 is difficult to connect to the corresponding first mating member A721 or the corresponding second mating member A722. It should be noted that "at least one of the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 is difficult to connect to the corresponding first mating member A721 or the corresponding second mating member A722" means, for example, that it is difficult to connect the first fixing member A711 to the first mating member A721 and the second fixing member A712 to the second mating member A722 without bending or deforming the first blocking member A600a. In other words, when the first blocking member A600a is installed backwards in the first position, the first blocking member A600a will bend and deform, for example, the portion of the first blocking member A600a between its outer edges will arch. Thus, the user can determine whether the first blocking member A600a has been incorrectly installed backwards in the first position by observing its shape after installation, thereby avoiding incorrect backward installation. Optionally, one of the first fixing member A711 and the first mating member A721 is a hook, and the other of the first fixing member A711 and the first mating member A721 is a hanging ring; or, the first fixing member A711 and the first mating member A721 are snaps, hooks, zippers, or magnets that can cooperate with each other. In this embodiment, the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 are, for example, hooks, and the first mating member A721 and the second mating member A722 are, for example, hanging rings that can engage with hooks. See also Figure 18 and Figure 19 The first blocking member A600a has a roughly rectangular cross-section. The two short edges of the first blocking member A600a are first edges A605, and the two long edges are second edges A606. The first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 are respectively located at predetermined distances from their adjacent first edges A605. Specifically, the ends of the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member are flush with their adjacent first edges A605 or located between the two first edges A605. In some other embodiments, the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 may be located at a first distance from their adjacent second edges A606, making it difficult for at least one of the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 to be connected to the corresponding first mating member A721 or the corresponding second mating member A722. This application does not limit this.
[0221] like Figures 20 to 21 As shown, the first blocking member A600a also has a third position adapted to at least partially block another of the plurality of sidewalls of the body A100 (e.g., the left sidewall A120 of the body A100). The first blocking member A600a can be selectively positioned in the first position, the second position, or the third position. When the second fixing member A712 is connected to the third mating member A723, and the first fixing member A711 is not connected to the corresponding mating member (i.e., the first fixing member A711 is not connected), the first blocking member A600a can flip between the third position and the second position. Alternatively, the first fixing member A711 is adapted to be detachably connected to the third mating member A723, and when the first fixing member A711 is connected to the third mating member A723, and the second fixing member A712 is not connected to the corresponding mating member (i.e., the second fixing member A712 is not connected), the first blocking member A600a can flip between the third position and the second position. In this embodiment, the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 are identical and symmetrically distributed on the first blocking member A600a, and the first blocking member A600a has an axisymmetric structure. Thus, when either the first fixing member A711 or the second fixing member is connected to the third mating member A723, the first blocking member A600a can flip between the second position and the third position.
[0222] The fixing mechanism A700 further includes a fourth mating member A724. The fourth mating member A724 is disposed on another of the plurality of side walls of the body A100 or on the base A200. At least one of the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 is adapted to be detachably connected to the fourth mating member A724. The fourth mating member A724 corresponds in position to the third mating member A723. When the third mating member A723 is connected to one of the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712, and the fourth mating member A724 is connected to the other of the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712, the first blocking member A600a is restricted to a third position. Optionally, the third mating part A723 is located on the side of the top wall viewing area A171 near the left side wall A120, and the fourth mating part A724 is disposed on the left side of the left side wall A120 or the base A200; or, the third mating part A723 is located on the side of the top wall viewing area A171 near the front side wall A140, and the fourth mating part A724 is disposed on the front side of the front side wall A140 or the base A200; or, the third mating part A723 is located on the side of the top wall viewing area A171 near the rear side wall A160, and the fourth mating part A724 is disposed on the rear side of the rear side wall A160 or the base A200.
[0223] Optionally, the animal carrying device A1000 in this embodiment may be provided with two or more first shielding members A600a. These first shielding members A600a can be selectively installed on at least one of the top wall A170 and the side walls of the main body A100. Thus, the first shielding members A600a can provide both sunshade and impact protection.
[0224] In this embodiment, the animal carrying device A1000 has a first shielding member A600a detachably mounted on the main body A100 via a fixing mechanism A700, thereby enabling the first shielding member A600a to switch between a first position and a second position. This satisfies the sunshade or impact protection needs of the animal carrying device A1000, and allows the first shielding member A600a to be removed when not needed, thus improving the usability of the animal carrying device A1000 in different scenarios.
[0225] Example 7
[0226] Figure 23 The diagram schematically illustrates the structure of the first shielding member A600a in the first position according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention. The shielding member in this embodiment differs from the first shielding member A600a in the sixth embodiment described above in at least the following ways.
[0227] The first protective structure A610 of the first shielding member A600a includes a first protective layer A611, a second protective layer A612, and a third protective layer A613. The third protective layer A613, the second protective layer A612, and the first protective layer A611 are stacked, with the second protective layer A612 being further away from the first side surface A631 than the first protective layer A611. That is, when the first shielding member A600a is installed in the first position facing forward, the second side surface A632 faces the first opening A1301 (i.e., the breathable mesh A901), and the first protective layer A611 is further away from the first opening A1301 than the second protective layer A612. The first protective layer A611 has better elasticity than the second protective layer A612 and also better elasticity than the third protective layer A613. The first protective layer A611 is disposed between the third protective layer A613 and the second protective layer A612.
[0228] The first protective layer A611 is made of foam, such as inert foam. The second protective layer A612 has a plate-like structure, and its material is selected from at least one of PE (polyethylene), EPP (expanded polypropylene), EPS (expanded polystyrene), and EPO (expanded polyolefin). The third protective layer A613 has a plate-like structure, and its material is selected from at least one of PE (polyethylene), EPP (expanded polypropylene), EPS (expanded polystyrene), and EPO (expanded polyolefin). In this way, when the buffered area of the right side wall A130 is impacted, the first protective layer A611 can effectively absorb the external impact force, and the second protective layer A612 or the third protective layer A613 can reduce the deformation of the first shielding member A600a, thereby better reducing the deformation of the right side wall A130 under external impact force. In this embodiment, the second protective layer A612 and the third protective layer A613 can be the same or different.
[0229] In another embodiment, when the first blocking member A600a is in the first position, either the first side surface A631 or the second side surface A632 of the first blocking member A600a can face one of the plurality of sidewalls. Similarly, when A600a is in the third position, either the first side surface A631 or the second side surface A632 of the first blocking member A600a can face another of the plurality of sidewalls. That is to say, in this embodiment, the first blocking member A600a can be installed facing forward on the corresponding sidewall of the body A100, or it can be installed in reverse on the corresponding sidewall of the body A100. In this way, there is no need to worry about the user mistakenly installing the first blocking member A600a on any sidewall of the body A100, thus improving the applicability and ease of use of the first blocking member A600a.
[0230] Example 8
[0231] Figure 24 and Figure 25 A perspective view of an animal carrying device A1000 according to the eighth embodiment of this application is shown.
[0232] like Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown, the animal carrying device A1000 includes a body A100, a base A200, and a first shielding member A600a. The structures of the body A100 and the base A200 can be referenced from those in the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here. The animal carrying device A1000 in this embodiment differs from the animal carrying device AA1000 in the sixth embodiment in at least the following ways. In one or more embodiments of this disclosure, the base A200 can also be considered as the bottom wall of the body A100.
[0233] The fixing mechanism A700 includes a first fixing member A711, a second fixing member A712, a first mating member A721, and a second mating member A722. The first fixing member A711 is disposed on a first blocking member A600a. The second fixing member A712 is disposed on the first blocking member A600a and is positioned opposite to the first fixing member A711. That is, the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 are respectively disposed near the first edge A605 or the second edge A606 of the first blocking member A600a. For example, the first fixing member A711 and the second fixing member A712 are respectively disposed near the second edge A606 of the first blocking member A600a. The first mating member A721 and the second mating member A722 are disposed on the body A100 or the base A200, with the second mating member A722 positioned opposite to the first mating member A721. Specifically, the first mating member A721 is disposed on the side of the first opening A1301 near the rear sidewall A160, and the second mating member A722 is disposed on the side of the first opening A1301 near the front sidewall A140. The first mating member A721 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing member A711, and the second mating member A722 is adapted to be detachably connected to the second fixing member A712, so as to restrict the first blocking member A600a to a first position.
[0234] Continue to refer to Figure 24 The fixing mechanism A700 further includes a third mating member A723 and a fourth mating member A724. The third mating member A723 and the fourth mating member A724 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the top wall viewing area A171. Optionally, the third mating member A723 is disposed on the side of the top wall viewing area A171 near the rear side wall A160, and the fourth mating member A724 is disposed on the side of the top wall viewing area A171 near the front side wall A140. The third mating member A723 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing member A711, and the fourth mating member A724 is adapted to be detachably connected to the second fixing member A712, to allow the first blocking member A600a to be restricted to a second position. In this embodiment, the first blocking member A600a also has a third position adapted to at least partially block another of the plurality of side walls of the body A100 (e.g., the left side wall A120). Figure 25 As shown, the fixing mechanism A700 further includes a fifth mating member A725 and a sixth mating member A726 disposed opposite to each other. Specifically, the fifth mating member A725 is disposed on the side of the second opening A1201 on the left side wall A120 near the rear side wall A160, and the sixth mating member A726 is disposed on the side of the second opening A1201 near the front side wall A140. The fifth mating member A725 is adapted to be detachably connected to the first fixing member A711, and the sixth mating member A726 is adapted to be detachably connected to the second fixing member A712, so as to restrict the first blocking member A600a to the third position.
[0235] Example 9
[0236] Figures 26 to 30 An animal carrying device B1000 according to a ninth embodiment of the present invention is shown. The animal carrying device B1000 can be, but is not limited to, a sleeping box, pet carrier, pet ride-on bag, pet bag, etc. The animal carrying device B1000 has a carrying space B110 for accommodating an animal (see...). Figure 31 The animal carrying device B1000 can be fixed to a vehicle seat (not shown in the figure) or carried by a person (e.g., carried by hand, slung over the shoulder, etc.). Specifically, the animal carrying device B1000 may include a base B200 and a main body B100. The base B200 and the main body B100 will be described in the following description of the animal carrying device B1000.
[0237] See Figure 26 and Figure 31 In one embodiment, the body B100 is mounted on the base B200 and has a bearing space B110. Specifically, the body B100 has a front sidewall B120, a right sidewall B130, a rear sidewall B140, and a left sidewall B150 connected sequentially along the circumferential direction. The front sidewall B120 and the rear sidewall B140 are arranged opposite each other along a first direction F1 (i.e., the front-to-back direction), and the left sidewall B150 and the right sidewall B130 are arranged opposite each other along a second direction F2 (i.e., the left-to-right direction). The front sidewall B120 forms the front wall of the bearing space B110, the right sidewall B130 forms the right wall of the bearing space B110, the rear sidewall B140 forms the rear wall of the bearing space B110, and the left sidewall B150 forms the left wall of the bearing space B110. In addition, the main body B100 also has a top wall B160 and a bottom wall B170. Both the top wall B160 and the bottom wall B170 are connected to the front side wall B120, the right side wall B130, the rear side wall B140 and the left side wall B150. The top wall B160 and the bottom wall B170 are arranged opposite each other in a roughly vertical direction. The top wall B160 forms the top wall of the bearing space B110, and the bottom wall B170 forms the bottom wall of the bearing space B110.
[0238] See Figure 31 and Figure 32 In one embodiment, the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 is provided with a first positioning part B171. For example... Figure 33 and Figure 34As shown, the base B200 includes an upper cover B210 and a lower cover B220, wherein one of the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 is provided with a limiting part B211, and the other is provided with a second positioning part B221. For example, the upper cover B210 is provided with the limiting part B211, and the lower cover B220 is provided with the second positioning part B221; or, the upper cover B210 is provided with the second positioning part B221, and the lower cover B220 is provided with the limiting part B211. The upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 are located on opposite sides of the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100. Specifically, the upper cover B210 is located on the side of the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100 facing the bearing space B110, and the lower cover B220 is located on the side of the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100 facing away from the bearing space B110. In other words, the upper cover B210 is located inside the bearing space B110, while the lower cover B220 is located outside the bearing space B110.
[0239] Specifically, in this embodiment, the upper cover B210 is provided with a limiting part B211, and the lower cover B220 is provided with a second positioning part B221. The limiting part B211 corresponds to the first positioning part B171 and the second positioning part B221 respectively. The limiting part B211 is used to cooperate with the first positioning part B171 and the second positioning part B221. In this way, the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 can be clamped between the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220, thereby realizing the positioning of the body B100 and the base B200. It should be noted that when the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 are fastened together, the upper cover B210 is regarded as the bottom wall of the bearing space B110 to support the pet.
[0240] Furthermore, it should be noted that at least two of the aforementioned first positioning part B171, second positioning part B221, and limiting part B211 are provided, and each first positioning part B171 should correspond to each second positioning part B221 and each limiting part B211, respectively. In this embodiment, the number of the three parts—first positioning part B171, second positioning part B221, and limiting part B211—is the same, so that each first positioning part B171 corresponds to one second positioning part B221 and one limiting part B211. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the three parts—first positioning part B171, second positioning part B221, and limiting part B211—may not be exactly the same.
[0241] In one embodiment, the first positioning part B171 is a first positioning hole B1711 (see...) Figure 31 and Figure 32 The second positioning part B221 is the second positioning hole B2211 (see...). Figure 34 The limiting part B211 is the positioning post B2111 (see) Figure 33When the main body B100 needs to be installed on the base B200, each positioning pin B2111 is used to pass through the corresponding first positioning hole B1711 and second positioning hole B2211 to achieve precise docking between the main body B100 and the base B200 (see...). Figure 32 Specifically, during installation, the upper cover B210 is first placed within the supporting space B110, ensuring that each positioning post B2111 accurately passes through the corresponding first positioning hole B1711 on the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100. In this way, the positioning posts B2111 protrude below the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100, keeping the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100 relatively fixed to the upper cover B210; in other words, the limiting effect of the upper cover B210 on the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100 prevents relative movement between the two. Then, each positioning post B2111 is inserted into the second positioning hole B2211 of the lower cover B220, thereby completing the precise docking of the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220. Of course, in other embodiments, after the upper cover B210 and the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100 are assembled, that is, after the positioning pins B2111 pass through the first positioning holes B1711 of the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100, the main body B110 and the upper cover B210 can be inverted; then the lower cover B220 is flipped over, and the second positioning holes B2211 on the lower cover B220 are aligned with the positioning pins B2111 protruding from the surface of the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100; finally, the lower cover B200 is fastened onto the upper cover B210. In this way, the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100 is clamped between the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220, and the precise docking of the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 is completed.
[0242] The animal carrying device B1000 provided in this embodiment adopts a design in which the main body B100 and the base B200 are positioned in conjunction, providing a quick and stable assembly method. Specifically, the main body B100 and the base B200 achieve quick and precise alignment and fixation through the mutual cooperation of the limiting part B211, the first positioning part B171, and the second positioning part B221, thereby realizing the quick installation of the main body B100 and the base B200. This design not only simplifies the assembly process but also improves assembly accuracy and efficiency.
[0243] In one embodiment, after the positioning pin B2111 passes through the first positioning hole B1711 and the second positioning hole B2211 in sequence, the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 is clamped between the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220. The upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 can be connected by fasteners (not shown in the figure), such as screws or bolts. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the fasteners can be omitted, and the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 can be provided with a first engaging portion (not shown in the figure) and a second engaging portion (not shown in the figure) that can engage with each other, thus achieving a fixed connection between the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220. One of the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion can be located on the positioning pin B2111, and the other can be located inside the second positioning hole B2211. Alternatively, the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion can also be provided in other parts of the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220.
[0244] See Figures 32 to 34 In one embodiment, the positions of the positioning pin B2111 on the upper cover B210, the distribution positions of the first positioning hole B1711 on the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100, and the positions of the second positioning hole B2211 on the lower cover B220 correspond to each other. The position of the first positioning hole B1711 on the bottom wall B170 of the main body B100 will be briefly described below as an example. Specifically, in this embodiment, as... Figure 32 As shown, the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 is generally rectangular, and a plurality of first positioning holes B1711 are spaced apart along its circumferential direction. Furthermore, at least one first positioning hole B1711 can also be provided in the middle region of the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 as needed. More specifically, a straight line extending along the first direction F1 and passing through the geometric center of the body B100 (which can also be considered the center of the bottom wall B170 of the body B100) is defined as the reference line S1, and all the first positioning holes B1711 on the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 are arranged approximately symmetrically along the reference line S1. In other words, the first positioning holes B1711 on both sides of the reference line S1 are mirror-symmetrical in both number and position. This helps to improve the stability of the engagement between the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220. Of course, in other embodiments, the number and position of the first positioning holes B1711 on both sides of the reference line S1 may differ. For example, the number of first positioning holes B1711 on one side of the straight line S1 is more or less than the number of first positioning holes B1711 on the other side.
[0245] In this embodiment, for each positioning post B2111 on the upper cover B210, as follows: Figure 33As shown, each positioning post B2111 is connected by a reinforcing rib B212, which can enhance the structural strength of each positioning post B2111, thereby improving the structural strength of the base B200.
[0246] In one embodiment, the front sidewall B120, right sidewall B130, rear sidewall B140, left sidewall B150, bottom wall B170, and top wall B160 can be connected by means of sewing or other methods. Of course, in other embodiments, the front sidewall B120, right sidewall B130, rear sidewall B140, left sidewall B150, bottom wall B170, and top wall B160 can be integrally formed. Alternatively, in other embodiments, some portions of the front sidewall B120, right sidewall B130, rear sidewall B140, left sidewall B150, bottom wall B170, and top wall B160 can be connected by sewing, while the remaining portions can be integrally formed. For example, in this embodiment, combined with... Figure 26 and Figure 31 The left side wall B150 and the top wall B160 are integrally formed, while the rest of the body B100 is connected by means of sewing or other methods.
[0247] In one embodiment, the upper cover B210 and lower cover B220 of the base B200 are made of a rigid material (such as plastic) to support the body B100. The body B100 (i.e., the front side wall B120, right side wall B130, left side wall B150, rear side wall B140, top wall B160, and bottom wall B170) is made of a soft fabric sheet. This improves the comfort of the pet leaning against the side walls of the support space B110.
[0248] To improve the support strength of the main body B100 and prevent deformation of the load-bearing space B110, in one embodiment, combined with Figures 26 to 31 The front sidewall B120 and / or rear sidewall B140 of the main body B100 are provided with support members B300 at their outer edges away from the base B200. Specifically, both the front sidewall B120 and rear sidewall B140 of the main body B100 are provided with support members B300 at their outer edges away from the base B200. These support members B300 can be, for example, supporting wires. This supports the front sidewall B120 and rear sidewall B140, preventing the load-bearing space B110 from deforming and improving the aesthetic appearance of the main body B100. Furthermore, to avoid the support members B300 being exposed and affecting the aesthetics of the animal carrying device B1000, in this embodiment, the two supporting wires are located inside the front sidewall B120 and rear sidewall B140, respectively. It should be noted that, to clearly indicate the location of the supporting wires, dashed lines are used in each view to represent the specific positions of the supporting wires inside the front sidewall B120 or rear sidewall B140 of the main body B100.
[0249] See Figures 31 to 33 In one embodiment, the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 is provided with a reinforcing member B400, which is made of a rigid material and has a plate-like structure. For example, the reinforcing member B400 is a PE plate, EPP plate, or EPS plate. The reinforcing member B400 is pre-fixed to the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 by sewing. Specifically, one of the reinforcing member B400 and the upper cover B210 is provided with a first connecting portion B214, and the other is provided with a second connecting portion B410. The number of first connecting portions B214 is the same as the number of second connecting portions B410, and the positions of the first connecting portions B214 and the second connecting portions B410 correspond to the positions of the second connecting portions B410. More specifically, the upper cover B210 is provided with a first connecting portion B214, and the first connecting portion B214 can be a connecting post B2141; the reinforcing member B400 is provided with a second connecting portion B410, and the second connecting portion B410 can be a connecting hole B411. After the connecting post B2141 passes through the connecting hole B411, the upper cover B210 and the reinforcing member B400 can be connected by a fastener (not shown in the figure) passing through the through hole B172 on the bottom wall B170 of the body B100. This increases the connection strength between the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 and the base B200.
[0250] In one embodiment, at least two reinforcing members B400 are provided. Specifically, two reinforcing members B400 are provided, and the two reinforcing members B400 are disposed at a distance from each other along the second direction F2 on the bottom wall B170 of the body B100.
[0251] See Figures 32 to 34In one embodiment, at least one of the front sidewall B120 and the rear sidewall B140 extends toward the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 to form an extending edge B121. Specifically, in this embodiment, the front sidewall B120 extends toward the bottom wall B170 of the body B100 to form an extending edge B121. One of the extending edge B121 and the upper cover B210 is provided with a limiting post B213, and the other is provided with a first limiting hole B122. For example, the extending edge B121 is provided with a first limiting hole B122, and the upper cover B210 is provided with a limiting post B213. The first limiting hole B122 is used to fit over the limiting post B213. In this way, when the body B100 is installed on the base B200, the front sidewall B120 can be tightened, making the appearance of the body B100 more upright. Alternatively, the extended edge B121 may be provided with a limiting post B213, and the upper cover B210 may be provided with a first limiting hole B122. The limiting post B213 is inserted into the first limiting hole B122 to tighten the front sidewall B120, making the body B100 more upright. To prevent the limiting post B213 from disengaging from the first limiting hole B122 after the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 are fastened together, causing the front sidewall B120 to become loose, the lower cover B220 is provided with a corresponding second limiting hole B222. When the upper cover B210 and the lower cover B220 are fastened together, the limiting post B213 can be inserted into the second limiting hole B222 to prevent the extended edge B121 from disengaging from the limiting post B213.
[0252] To improve air permeability within the bearing space B110, in one embodiment, at least a portion of the front sidewall B120 and / or the rear sidewall B140 of the body B100 is formed with a first perforated area, and the first perforated area is covered with a first breathable mesh B510. For example, as... Figure 26 and Figure 27 As shown, at least a portion of the front sidewall B120 of the main body B100 has a first hollow area. Alternatively, at least a portion of the rear sidewall B140 of the main body B100 has a first hollow area. Or, at least a portion of both the front sidewall B120 and the rear sidewall B140 of the main body B100 have first hollow areas. This ensures that the carrying space B110 is enclosed while improving its breathability, thus improving the environment for the pet and increasing its comfort.
[0253] In one embodiment, at least one of the front sidewall B120 and the rear sidewall B140 of the main body B100 is further provided with a pocket B610, in which the user can place personal items (such as garbage bags, water cups, tissues, etc.) into the pocket B610. The opening of the pocket B610 can be in an open state; of course, the opening can also be closed by a zipper, a pair of magnets, a pair of snaps, or a pair of adhesive fasteners. Specifically, the size and number of pockets B610 are not specifically limited in this embodiment. For example, the rear sidewall B140 of the main body B100 is provided with two pockets B610, which can be arranged side by side or staggered in a roughly horizontal direction; of course, the two pockets B610 can also be arranged side by side or staggered in a roughly vertical direction. More specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 28 As shown, the rear side wall B140 of the main body B100 is provided with a pocket B610, and the outer surface of the pocket B610 is a mesh structure, which can increase the transparency and breathability of the pocket B610.
[0254] See also Figure 28 The rear sidewall B140 of the main body B100 is provided with a connecting fabric B620, forming a through-channel between the connecting fabric B620 and the rear sidewall B140. This through-channel allows a pull rod, such as that of a suitcase, to pass through, thus improving the portability of the animal carrying device B1000. Specifically, the through-channel extends perpendicular to the base B200, that is, it extends vertically. Specifically, the left and right ends of the connecting fabric B620 are respectively sewn to the sidewall of the rear sidewall B140 of the main body B100. In this embodiment, the connecting fabric B620 has a multi-layered woven structure, and pockets B610 can also be formed between the multi-layered woven structures.
[0255] See Figure 26 as well as Figures 29 to 31 In one embodiment, the animal carrying device B1000 further includes a side cover B710. Specifically, at least one of the left side wall B150 and the right side wall B130 of the body B100 is provided with a side opening B151, and the side cover B710 is movably disposed at the side opening B151 so that the side cover B710 has a first open position (see...). Figure 31 ) and the first closed position (see Figure 26When the side cover B710 is in the first open position, the side opening B151 is exposed; when the side cover B710 is in the first closed position, the side cover B710 covers the side opening B151. Therefore, when the user needs to place the pet into the carrying space B110 or remove the pet from the main body B100, the side cover B710 can be in the first open position; and when the user needs to confine the pet within the carrying space B110, the side cover B710 can be in the first closed position. Specifically, in this embodiment, both the left side wall B150 and the right side wall B130 of the main body B100 are provided with side openings B151, and each side opening B151 is movably covered by a side cover B710. In this way, the user can place the pet into or remove the pet from the main body B100 through either side opening B151.
[0256] See Figure 26 , Figure 29 and Figure 31 In one embodiment, one end of the side cover B710 is movably connected to the body B100 and serves as a first pivot end B711, thus allowing the side cover B710 to switch between a first open position and a first closed position around the first pivot end B711. The connection method between the first pivot end B711 and the body B100 includes, but is not limited to, the following: for example, the first pivot end B711 can be connected to the body B100 by sewing or other means; or, the first pivot end B711 can also be connected to the body B100 by welding, bonding, or other means; or, the first pivot end B711 can also be connected to the body B100 by a zipper, button, or other mating components. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first pivot end B711 is sewn onto the body B100, and the periphery of the side cover B710, excluding the first pivot end B711, is connected to the body B100 by a zipper. In this way, the side cover B710 is closable on the left side wall B150 and the right side wall B130 of the body B100, thereby allowing the load-bearing space B110 to be opened or closed.
[0257] See also Figure 26 , Figure 29 and Figure 31In one embodiment, the end of the side cover B710 furthest from the first pivot end B711 is referred to as the first movable end B712. When the side cover B710 is in the first closed position, the first movable end B712 and the first pivot end B711 are located on opposite sides of the side opening B151. This allows the side opening B151 to be closed. Specifically, the first movable end B712 is provided with a first locking member (not shown in the figure), and the first pivot end B711 is provided with a first mating member (not shown in the figure). When the side cover B710 is in the first open position, the first locking member and the first mating member engage to keep the side cover B710 in the first open position. This allows the side opening B151 to remain open, allowing the pet to freely enter and exit the main body B100 as needed. Simultaneously, when the user needs to place the pet into the main body B100, there is no need to fold the side cover B710 again to expose the side opening B151, improving the ease of use of the animal carrying device B1000.
[0258] In one embodiment, the first locking member and the first mating member may be a pair of magnets, a pair of snaps, or a pair of adhesive fasteners that can cooperate with each other. Optionally, the first locking member and the first mating member may be located on the inner surface of the side cover B710 (i.e., the side facing the support space B110); of course, they may also be located on the outer surface of the side cover B710 (i.e., the side facing away from the support space B110); or, when the first locking member and the first mating member are a pair of magnets, the first locking member and the first mating member may be located inside the side cover B710.
[0259] To further improve the ease of use of the animal carrying device B1000, in one embodiment, such as Figure 26 , Figure 30 as well as Figure 31 As shown, the animal carrying device B1000 also includes a top cover B720. Specifically, the top wall B160 of the main body B100 has a top opening B161, and the top cover B720 is movably disposed at the top opening B161 so that the top cover B720 has a second open position (see...). Figure 31 ) and the second closed position (see Figure 26 When the top cover B720 is in the second open position, the top opening B161 is exposed; when the top cover B720 is in the second closed position, the top cover B720 covers the top opening B161. Therefore, when the user needs to place the pet into the carrying space B110 or remove the pet from the main body B100, the top cover B720 can be in the second open position; and when the user needs to confine the pet within the carrying space B110, the top cover B720 can be in the second closed position. In this way, the user can adaptably place the pet into or remove the pet from the main body B100 through either the top opening B161 or the side opening B151, as needed.
[0260] See Figure 30 and Figure 31 In one embodiment, one end of the top cover B720 is movably connected to the body B100 and serves as the second pivot end B721. This allows the top cover B720 to switch between a second open position and a second closed position around the second pivot end B721. The connection method between the second pivot end B721 and the body B100 includes, but is not limited to, the following: for example, the second pivot end B721 can be connected to the body B100 by sewing or other means; or, the second pivot end B721 can also be connected to the body B100 by welding, bonding, or other means; or, the second pivot end B721 can also be connected to the body B100 by a zipper, button, or other mating component. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second pivot end B721 is sewn onto the body B100, and the periphery of the top cover B720, excluding the second pivot end B721, is connected to the body B100 by a zipper. In this way, the top cover B720 is closable on the top wall B160 of the body B100, thereby allowing the load-bearing space B110 to be opened or closed.
[0261] See also Figure 30 and Figure 31 In one embodiment, the end of the top cover B720 furthest from the second pivot end B721 is referred to as the second movable end B722. When the top cover B720 is in the second closed position, the second pivot end B721 and the second movable end B722 are located on opposite sides of the top opening B161, respectively. This allows the top opening B161 to be closed. Specifically, the second movable end B722 is provided with a second locking member (not shown in the figure), and the second pivot end B721 is provided with a second mating member (not shown in the figure). When the top cover B720 is in the second open position, the second locking member and the second mating member engage to keep the top cover B720 in the second open position. This allows the top opening B161 to remain open, allowing the pet to freely enter and exit the main body B100 as needed. Furthermore, when the user needs to place the pet into the main body B100, there is no need to fold the top cover B720 again to expose the top opening B161, improving the ease of use of the animal carrying device B1000.
[0262] In one embodiment, the second locking member and the second mating member can be the same as the first locking member and the first mating member described above, and can be a pair of magnets, a pair of snaps, or a pair of adhesive fasteners that can cooperate with each other. Optionally, the second locking member and the second mating member can be located on the inner surface of the top cover B720 (i.e., the side facing the support space B110); of course, they can also be located on the outer surface of the top cover B720 (i.e., the side facing away from the support space B110); or, when the second locking member and the second mating member are a pair of magnets, the second locking member and the second mating member can be located inside the top cover B720.
[0263] To improve the comfort of pets within the carrying space B110, see [link / reference]. Figure 26 In one embodiment, at least a portion of the side cover B710 and / or the top cover B720 has a second perforated area, which is covered by a second breathable mesh B520. This improves the breathability of the carrying space B110 within the animal carrying device B1000. Specifically, in this embodiment, at least a portion of the top cover B720 and at least a portion of the side cover B710 are provided with second perforated areas. Of course, in other embodiments, all areas of the top cover B720 and all areas of the side cover B710 are second perforated areas; in other words, two second breathable meshes B520 respectively form the side cover B710 and the top cover B720.
[0264] like Figures 26 to 27 As shown, the animal carrying device B1000 is equipped with a handle B810, allowing the user to easily lift the animal carrying device B1000. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the number and location of the handles B810 are not specifically limited. For example, there can be one, two, or more handles B810; the handles B810 can be located on the top wall B160 or side wall (such as the front side wall B120, rear side wall B140, left side wall B150, or right side wall B130) of the main body B100. Specifically, when there is one handle B810, it is approximately located in the middle of the top wall B160 of the main body B100. When there are two handles B810, the two handles B810 can be fixed to the front side wall B120 and the rear side wall B140 respectively, or to the left side wall B150 and the right side wall B130 respectively.
[0265] like Figure 26 As shown, to facilitate carrying the animal carrying device B1000, the animal carrying device B1000 is also provided with two (but not limited to two) buckles B820, which are used for detachable connection with the diagonal strap. The two buckles B820 are respectively provided on two opposite side walls of the main body B100, such as the front side wall B120 and the rear side wall B140. The two buckles B820 are distributed along the diagonal of the main body B100.
[0266] See Figure 28In one embodiment, the animal carrier B1000 is provided with an anchoring assembly B900, which is adapted to connect to a vehicle seat to secure the animal carrier B1000 to the vehicle seat. The anchoring assembly B900 includes at least one ISOFIX connector B910, one end of which (i.e., the pivot end B911) is pivotally connected to the base B200, and the other end (i.e., the free end B912) is used to connect to at least one connection point of the vehicle seat. This allows the ISOFIX connector B910 to have an unfolded state (not shown in the figure) and a folded state (see figure). Figure 28 Specifically, when the animal carrier B1000 needs to be secured to a vehicle seat, the ISOFIX connector B910 can be rotated around its pivot end B911 to be in an unfolded state, allowing for a secure connection with the vehicle seat. When the animal carrier B100 needs to be carried by hand, the ISOFIX connector B910 can be rotated around its pivot end B911 to be in a folded state. This not only reduces the size of the animal carrier B100 but also prevents the ISOFIX connector B910 from accidentally hitting pedestrians or other objects during movement.
[0267] In one embodiment, the base B200 is provided with at least one folding groove B230, and the ISOFIX connector B910 is housed within the folding groove B230 when it is in the folded state. In another embodiment, when the ISOFIX connector B910 is in the folded state, a protrusion B913 is provided on its side wall facing away from the folding groove B230. Specifically, an abutment protrusion B231 is provided on the side wall of the folding groove B230 near the pivot end B911 and facing the second direction F2. When the ISOFIX connector B910 is in the unfolded state, the abutment protrusion B231 and the protrusion B913 are arranged opposite each other along the second direction F2 and abut against each other. This avoids the ISOFIX connector B910 from directly colliding with the side wall of the folding groove B230 when unfolded, thus improving the service life of the animal carrying device B1000. Specifically, the abutting protrusion B231 and the protrusion B913 can be made of wear-resistant materials, such as metal, rubber or silicone.
[0268] Figure 35 A perspective view of a vehicle 1100 according to a tenth embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, and Figure 36 Show Figure 35 Another perspective view of the vehicle 1100 shown, in which a portion of the second sealing member 1117a is separated from the body 1110.
[0269] refer to Figure 35 and Figure 36The tenth embodiment of this disclosure provides an animal carrying device (also referred to as a carrier 1100) that can be fixed to a vehicle seat, for example, by means of a fixing strap assembly (not shown).
[0270] It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," and "right" in this embodiment refer to the orientation of the vehicle (as shown by reference numeral "1100") when it is placed on the vehicle seat. Specifically, the "front" direction refers to the direction in which the vehicle is away from the back of the vehicle seat, which is also the direction of vehicle travel in this embodiment; the "rear" direction refers to the direction in which the vehicle 1100 faces or is against the back of the vehicle seat; and the "left" and "rear" directions refer to the two lateral directions when viewed from the front of the vehicle 1100.
[0271] Specifically, the carrier 1100 includes a housing body (hereinafter referred to as the "body") 1110 and a bottom support 1120. The bottom support 1120 is detachably connected to the body 1110 to form a housing for providing accommodating space. The body 1110 forms the four sides and top surface of the carrier 1100, and the bottom support 1120 forms the bottom of the housing. In one example, the body 1110 can be detachably connected to the bottom support 1120 via at least one first connecting assembly 1150. The first connecting assembly 1150 may include a first connector disposed on the body 1110 and a second connector disposed on the bottom support 1120, and may be a detachable structure that engages with each other, such as a zipper structure, snap structure, slip buckle structure, Velcro structure, hook and loop structure, etc.
[0272] The body 1110 may include a first support member and a second support member, which are at least partially detachably connected to each other, i.e., at least a portion of the first support member is detachably connected to the second support member. In this embodiment, the first support member may be a side support member 1111, and the second support member may be an upper support member 1112. The side support member 1111 forms two sides of the body 1110, such as a front side and a rear side. The upper support member 1112 forms at least a portion of the top surface of the body 1110 and two other sides (such as a left side and a right side). Figure 35 As shown, at least a portion of the side support 1111 can be detachably connected to the upper support 1112 via the second connecting assembly 1160. The second connecting assembly 1160 may include mating structures respectively disposed on the side support 1111 and the upper support 1112, such as mating zipper structures, snap-fit structures, sliding buckle structures, Velcro or hook and loop structures, etc., and optionally adopts a flexible connecting structure, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0273] like Figure 35 and Figure 36As shown, windows may be provided on one or more sides of the body 1110 for observing the interior of the vehicle 1100 and / or for pets to enter and exit the vehicle 1100. In this embodiment, the windows include a first window 1116 and / or a second window 1117. The first window 1116 is provided on the side support 1111. The second window 1117 is provided at least on the upper support 1112, for example, on a portion of the upper support 1112 that constitutes the left and / or right sides of the body 1110. Optionally, the second window 1117 may also extend from the upper support 1112 through a portion of the bottom support 1120.
[0274] In one example, first windows 1116 may be provided on the front and rear sides of the body 1110 (i.e., corresponding to the two side supports 1111 of the body 1110). The two first windows 1116 may be provided correspondingly, for example, both located at the center of the corresponding side support 1111. The first window 1116 may have a trapezoidal shape, but this disclosure is not limited to this; it may also have rectangular, circular, elliptical, or other shapes. Optionally, the two first windows 1116 may have the same size and / or shape. Optionally or alternatively, the two first windows 1116 may have different sizes and / or shapes. For example, the size of the first window 1116 located on the rear side may be larger than the size of the first window 1116 located on the front side, in order to increase the ventilation area and thereby improve the ventilation of the rear side of the vehicle 1100 (i.e., the side near or in contact with the vehicle seat back). However, this disclosure is not limited to this. The vehicle 1100 may also have only one first window 1116. For example, when the vehicle 1100 is placed on a vehicle seat, the first window 1116 is located on the side of the vehicle 1100 away from the back of the vehicle seat.
[0275] Similarly, the left and right sides of the vehicle 1100 may each have a corresponding second window 1117, and the two second windows 1117 may have the same or different shapes and / or sizes. Alternatively, the vehicle 1100 may have only one second window 1117, for example, on the left or right side, or more specifically, on the side of the vehicle 1100 near the vehicle door.
[0276] Furthermore, the first window 1116 may be provided with a first sealing element 1116a for closing and / or covering the first window 1116. In this embodiment, the first sealing element 1116a may be a cover that is at least partially detachable or fixedly connected to the first window 1116. In one example, the first sealing element 1116a may have a transparent and / or breathable material, such as a mesh structure.
[0277] Optionally or additionally, the second window 1117 may be provided with a second sealing member 1117a for closing and / or obscuring the second window 1117. In this embodiment, at least a portion of the second sealing member 1117a is detachably connected to the body 1110. For example, as Figure 36 As shown, the upper end of the second sealing element 1117a can be fixedly connected to the body 1110, while the other parts are detachably connected to the body 1110, allowing the second sealing element 1117a to open upwards relative to the second window 1117, that is, the second sealing element 1117a can be lifted upwards to facilitate pet entry and exit. In one example, the second sealing element 1117a can have a transparent and / or breathable material, or it can have a light-blocking material. The second sealing element 1117a can have a flexible or rigid material and is detachably connected to the second window 1117 via a flexible or rigid connection structure. For example, the second sealing element 1117a is a breathable mesh or a flexible mesh material.
[0278] In addition, such as Figure 36 As shown, the body 1110 and / or bottom support 1120 of the carrier 1100 are covered with a cover. The cover may include at least one of fabric, plastic, and PE, and this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the cover may include a body cover 1130 covering the body 1110 and a bottom cover 1140 covering the bottom support 1120. The body cover 1130 and the bottom cover 1140 are detachably connected, for example, through a first connecting assembly 1150 (such as a zipper structure, Velcro, or hook and loop assembly). In a specific example, at least a portion of the first sealing member 1116a and / or at least a portion of the second sealing member 1117a may be fixedly connected to the cover, or integrally formed with the cover (e.g., having the same material as the cover). This disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments, and the materials and / or connection methods of the first sealing member and / or the second sealing member may be interchanged or changed.
[0279] Figure 37A Another perspective view of a vehicle 1100 according to a tenth embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, wherein the vehicle 1100 is provided with a collision protection device 1170, which may also be referred to as a side impact protection block or a collision protection material. Figure 37B Show Figure 37A The other side of the anti-collision protection device 1170 shown.
[0280] like Figure 37A and Figure 37BAs shown, a collision protection device 1170 may also be provided on the main body 1110. The collision protection device 1170 may have a certain thickness and may be provided on either side of the main body 1110 to improve the safety of the pet inside the vehicle 1100. The collision protection device 1170 may be provided on any one or more sides of the main body 1110. Optionally, when the vehicle 1100 is placed on a vehicle seat, the collision protection device 1170 is provided at least on the side of the main body 1110 closest to the vehicle door.
[0281] In this embodiment, as Figure 37A and Figure 37B As shown, the anti-collision protection device 1170 can be a separately molded structure and can be detachably connected to the side of the vehicle 1100. For example, the anti-collision protection device 1170 can be provided with a first fixing member 1181, and the body 1110 can be correspondingly provided with a second fixing member 1182. The first fixing member 1181 and the second fixing member 1182 can be detachably connected to each other so as to fix the anti-collision protection device 1170 to the vehicle 1100. Specifically, the first fixing member 1181 can be provided on the inner surface 1170a of the anti-collision protection device 1170, for example, by means of sewing, bonding or other methods (see...). Figure 37B When the anti-collision protection device 1170 is connected to the body 1110 through the cooperation of the first fixing member 1181 and the second fixing member 1182, the outer surface 1170b of the anti-collision protection device 1170 is exposed, so that the first fixing member 1181 or most of its structure is hidden or covered, thereby improving aesthetics. In one example, one of the first fixing member 1181 and the second fixing member 1182 can be a hook and the other can be a hanging ring, but this disclosure is not limited to this, as long as the cooperation of the first fixing member 1181 and the second fixing member 1182 can detachably fix the anti-collision protection device 1170 to the vehicle 1100.
[0282] Specifically, the anti-collision protection device 1170 can be a buffer body, and the buffer body can be made of foam, plastic, or elastomer. In one example, the buffer body can be constructed as a separately molded buffer block, then sewn into a pocket portion, such as one made of the same material as the cover, and detachably fixed to the side of the vehicle 1100. However, this disclosure is not limited to this; the anti-collision protection device 1170 can also be constructed to be non-detachably connected to the cover, or formed by the cover itself.
