[0020] Figure 2 This is the second schematic diagram of the installation structure of the seat belt reminder device provided by this utility model.

[0021] Explanation of reference numerals in the attached figures:

[0022] 1. Seatbelt reminder device; 2. Sponge layer; 3. Ventilation layer; 4. Seat cushion foam layer. Detailed Implementation

[0023] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] In one specific implementation, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the installation structure of the seat belt reminder device 1 provided by this utility model is used for a car seat. The car seat includes a seat cushion foam layer 4, a ventilation layer 3, and a sponge layer 2. The installation structure includes a snap-fit ​​component, a through hole, and a slot. The snap-fit ​​component is disposed on the outer shell of the seat belt reminder device 1. The through hole passes through the ventilation layer 3 and the sponge layer 2. The slot is formed on the seat cushion foam layer 4. The snap-fit ​​component passes through the through hole and is snapped and fixed in the slot.

[0025] During installation, the claws of the seat belt reminder device 1 pass through the holes opened in the ventilation layer 3 and the sponge layer 2, and then snap into the grooves reserved in the seat cushion foam layer 4. Through the claw structure at both ends of the seat belt reminder device 1, it passes through the sponge layer 2 and the ventilation layer 3 to achieve snap-fit ​​fixation with the grooves on the seat cushion foam layer 4. This achieves reliable fixation of the seat belt reminder device 1 and alleviates the odor problem caused by using glue and tape for bonding.

[0026] The snap-fit ​​component includes a snap-fit ​​arm and a snap-fit ​​claw. One end of the snap-fit ​​arm is mounted on the housing and passes through the through hole. The snap-fit ​​claw is mounted on the other end of the snap-fit ​​arm and is snapped into the slot. As an intermediate component connecting the housing and the snap-fit ​​claw, the snap-fit ​​arm increases the overall length and stability of the snap-fit ​​component, allowing the snap-fit ​​claw to more accurately engage with the slot, improving the reliability of the installation structure, and reducing installation failures or insecure fixation due to component movement or positional deviations. The snap-fit ​​arm design allows for a certain installation error; even with slight deviations in the position of the snap-fit ​​claw and the slot, the elasticity or adjustability of the snap-fit ​​arm allows the snap-fit ​​claw to smoothly enter the slot and achieve a snap-fit ​​fixation, reducing the requirements for installation precision, increasing the error tolerance of the installation, and further simplifying the installation process.

[0027] Theoretically, designing the locking arm and claw as an integrated structure, with a locking component with claws extending directly from the outer shell, reduces the number of parts and lowers production costs.

[0028] In some embodiments, the slot includes a stop, and the claw is engaged with the lower side of the stop, thereby enhancing the fixing firmness between the claw and the slot, effectively preventing the claw from sliding or loosening in the slot, and further improving the installation stability of the seat belt reminder device 1.

[0029] Furthermore, the claw can be a double-sided claw; the double-sided claw provides two independent locking points, which significantly improves the fixing strength compared to the single-sided claw, and can better withstand the tension and pressure from different directions, ensuring that the seat belt reminder device 1 can remain stable and fixed under various complex working conditions, effectively preventing the device from loosening or falling off due to external forces.

[0030] The aforementioned through holes are pre-drilled holes on the ventilation layer 3 and the sponge layer 2. By using pre-drilled through holes, additional processing or cutting operations on the ventilation layer 3 and the sponge layer 2 are avoided, thus maintaining the structural integrity of the ventilation layer 3 and the sponge layer 2. This will not damage the ventilation performance and comfort of the seat, and will ensure that the normal use function of the seat is not affected.

[0031] In addition to the above-mentioned mounting structure, this utility model also provides a car seat including the mounting structure. For the structure of other parts of the car seat, please refer to the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0032] The above specific embodiments further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made on the basis of the technical solution of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
