Description

TECHNICAL AREA

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of seats and in particular to a seat provided with a safety shield. GENERAL STATE OF THE ART

[0002] Many existing car seats have a gap between the supporting and supporting components. An infant's head can be accidentally pulled into this gap; due to its narrowness, the infant's head can become trapped, potentially leading to injury. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a safety measure that effectively prevents the infant's head from being pulled into the gap.

[0003] Generally, the seat fabric in the supporting component is attached directly to a frame of the supporting component. To prevent the seat fabric from bulging upwards when a user lifts the child, existing designs often incorporate a multitude of straps beneath the seat fabric, which connect to the support component. However, this design also presents a potential risk: the infant's head could accidentally become trapped in the narrow space between the numerous straps, potentially strangling the neck and leading to serious consequences. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a safety measure that can both pull the seat fabric down and effectively prevent the child from entering this confined space. DEMOLITION

[0023] Exemplary embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the present disclosure is suitable for various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments are illustrated by way of example in the drawings. However, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments shown herein; instead, the present embodiment covers all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives that fall within the inventive concept and scope of the embodiments.

[0024] The directional terms used herein, such as "front," "back," "top," and "bottom," serve only for clarity; the present disclosure is not limited to these directions and can be adapted to the actual circumstances. Although the present disclosure has been described with reference to typical embodiments, the terms used are illustrative and exemplary rather than limiting.

[0025] In the present disclosure, the seat 100 comprises a support component 200, a support component 300, and a safety shield 500. The support component 200 can be connected to and located above the support component 300, with a gap formed between the support component 200 and the support component 300. The safety shield 500 is arranged between the support component 200 and the support component 300 to shield the gap.

[0026] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 7, the support component 300 comprises a base frame 320. A front end of the base frame 320 is connected to the support component 200, and a gap between the base frame 320 and the support component 200 gradually increases from the front end of the base frame 320 to a rear end of the base frame 320. Since the support component 300 is located below the support component 200, it can be seen that the base frame 320 is also located below the support component 200, with the gap between the support component 200 and the base frame 320 oriented in an up-down direction and gradually decreasing from the rear end of the base frame 320 to the front end of the base frame 320. To prevent a child from crawling from an area with a larger gap to an area with a smaller gap (e.g.,From the rear end of the base frame 320 to the front end of the base frame 320, the present disclosure is provided with the safety shield 500. The safety shield 500 is located between the front end of the base frame 320 and the rear end of the base frame 320 and is connected to the load-bearing component 200 and the support component 300 to cover the gap between the base frame 320 and the load-bearing component 200.

[0027] A seat fabric 220 is arranged on the support component 200 to provide a seat for a small child. The support component 300 can be attached to other components or supported on the floor. In the present disclosure, the safety shield 500 can be configured as a leaf-shaped element and made of the same material as the seat fabric 220. Because the safety shield 500 pulls the seat fabric 220 downwards, the seat fabric 220 cannot bulge upwards when a user lifts the child. Furthermore, because the safety shield 500 blocks the gap between the support component 200 and the support component 300, it can prevent the child from entering the gap and suffocating by having its neck trapped, and it can also prevent the child from entering the gap and lifting the seat fabric 220, thus avoiding the risk of the child falling out of the seat 100.

[0028] The aforementioned safety shield 500, which is arranged between the load-bearing component 200 and the support component 300, can be attached to various child car seats. Specific embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Fig. Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a seat 100, which is provided with a safety shield 500 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the seat 100 is attached to a swivel arm 700 of a baby swing. In this embodiment, the baby swing is intended to soothe the child or to help it fall asleep.According to the present disclosure, the baby swing comprises: a base 800 configured to stably support the seat 100 on a floor; the seat 100 located above the base 800; a support bracket 900 extending upwards from the base 800 and configured to be connected to the seat 100 and to suspend the seat 100 above the base 800; a swivel arm 700, one end of which is rotatably connected to the support component 300 of the seat 100 and the other end of which is rotatably or pivotably connected to the support bracket 900, so that the seat 100 can rotate relative to the swivel arm 700 and swivel relative to the support bracket 900 (e.g., swivel to the left and right relative to the support bracket 900); and a handle 600, which is connected to the support component 200 and is located above the support component 200, so that a user can carry the seat 100.

[0030] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the base 800 and the support bracket 900 of the baby swing can be arranged in an integrated or separate structure. According to the present disclosure, the base 800 is designed as a rod, and the rod and the support bracket 900 together form an enclosed space; furthermore, in other embodiments, the base 800 can also be formed by a continuous plate surface. When the seat 100 is stationary relative to the base 800, a central area of ​​the seat 100 is located substantially directly above the base 800 and the enclosed space therein, in order to stably support the seat 100 and prevent it from tipping over. The support bracket 900 is formed by an upward extension from the rear edge of the base 800; it is understood that wheels may be arranged on a rear side of a lower end of the support bracket 900, and when the seat 100 is on a horizontal plane as shown in Figure 1, the support bracket 900 may be arranged on the rear side of a lower end of the support bracket 900. Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the wheels cannot make contact with the ground. If the location of use needs to be changed, the seat 100 can be tilted backward so that the wheels touch the ground and roll on it, which facilitates transport. According to the present disclosure, two wheels are provided, each located on opposite sides of the support bracket 900. Alternatively, the wheels can also be formed on the base 800.

[0031] To make it easier to place the child in the seat and to move it in different rocking directions, the seat 100 is designed to be rotatable relative to the swivel arm 700, the base 800, and the support bracket 900. According to the present disclosure, as in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 5A, the support component 200 of the seat 100 comprises a frame 210 and a seat fabric 220 that covers the frame 210. Optionally, the frame 210 is designed as a rod and encloses a closed loop, and the seat fabric 220 is encased outside the frame 210 and is located at least partially within the closed loop to support the child. In this embodiment, the seat fabric 220 has a seat section 221 and a backrest section 222. Similarly, a rigid support plate can also be arranged in the seat fabric 220, the support plate comprising a seat support plate and a backrest support plate, each corresponding to the seat section 221 and the backrest section 222, respectively, to better support the child.

[0032] The support component 300 of the seat 100 comprises a base frame 320. The base frame 320 is essentially designed as a U-shaped element, with two longitudinal sides of the U-shaped element spaced apart and forming an upwardly curved arc, such that two ends of the two longitudinal sides point outwards and extend upwards to the front end of the support component 200 and are connected to the front end of the support component 200. Due to the curved structure of the base frame 320, the seat 100 can be placed on the floor and used as a cradle (as in Fig. 2 shown). As in Fig. As shown in Figure 5A, the two ends of the two long sides of the base frame 320 are connected to the front end of the frame 210. The seat fabric 220 is located at least partially between the two long sides of the base frame 320.

[0033] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 5A, the gap is located at this point between an extension surface enclosed by the U-shaped element and the support component 200. Specifically, when the seat 100 is placed on the floor, the gap is located between any longitudinal side of the U-shaped element and the support component 200, as well as between the floor on which the U-shaped element is placed and the support component 200. It is evident that the child could fall into the aforementioned gap at this point, and that the child's head could become trapped or the child could suffocate because it cannot free itself from the seat fabric 220 of the support component 200, potentially resulting in injury. In other embodiments, the base frame 320 can be designed as a continuous plate surface, and the gap is located entirely between the base frame 320 and the support component 200.

[0034] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the support component 300 also comprises two support elements 310. The two support elements 310 are spaced apart from each other and arranged opposite each other in a left-right direction, and each of the two support elements 310 is connected to the load-bearing component 200 and the base frame 320. The two support elements 310 are located between the front and rear ends of the base frame 320, and part of the gap between the base frame 320 and the load-bearing component 200 is located between the two support elements 310. As shown in Figure 2, the support component 300 is located between the support elements 310. Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 5A, optionally the two support elements 310 are each connected to the frame 210 of the load-bearing component 200 and the two longitudinal sides of the base frame 320, and the seat fabric 220 is located at least partially between the two support elements 310.

[0035] To prevent the child from moving towards the area with a smaller gap between the base frame 320 and the support component 200, the safety shield 500 is optional, as shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the safety shield 500 is connected upwards to the load-bearing component 200 and extends continuously between the two support elements 310 to cover the gap between the base frame 320 and the load-bearing component 200. Optionally, the safety shield 500 extends continuously between the two support elements 310 (i.e., it extends continuously in the left-right direction) and is connected upwards to the load-bearing component 200 (also extending continuously in the up-down direction), meaning the safety shield 500 has a continuous surface to cover the gap between the base frame 320 and the load-bearing component 200. Optionally, the safety shield 500 extends straight between the load-bearing component 200 and the two support elements 310.Optionally, the safety shield 500 includes a flexible fabric; when the safety shield 500 is attached between the support component 200 and the two support elements 310, it is stretched by a tensile force exerted by the support component 200 and the two support elements 310, thus extending straight. Optionally, the safety shield 500 extends straight in the vertical direction.

[0036] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the safety shield 500 does not completely cover the gap between the base frame 320 and the support component 200. Optionally, a small gap remains between the safety shield 500 and the two support elements 310 in the left-right direction, and a gap exists between the safety shield 500 and the base frame 320 in the up-down direction. However, these gaps are too small for an infant's head to pass through. Of course, in other embodiments, the safety shield 500 can be firmly connected to the two support elements 310 and extend downwards to the base frame 320.

[0037] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, a top side 510 (also referred to as the first side edge) of the safety shield 500 can optionally be attached to the seat fabric 220, which is attached to the joint between the seat part 221 and the backrest part 222. It is optionally sewn to the joint. A bottom side 520 (also referred to as the second side edge) of the safety shield 500 is pulled downwards until it is connected to the two support elements 310. Optionally, the left and right sides of the bottom side 520 of the safety shield 500 are connected to the two support elements 310. The connection between the safety shield 500 and the two support elements 310 is a detachable connection.In this way, the safety shield 500 can be tensioned and tightened so that it can stably cover the gap between the base frame 320 and the support component 200, preventing the child from exerting force on the unstight safety shield 500. This would otherwise widen the gap between the safety shield 500 and the support elements 310, allowing the child to pass through. In other embodiments, the safety shield 500 can also be rigidly connected to the two support elements 310. In other embodiments, the safety shield 500 can be connected to the two support elements 310 at an intermediate position between the top 510 and the bottom 520.

[0038] Each support element 310 has a lower section and an upper section. The lower ends of the lower sections are each fixedly attached to the middle sections of the two longitudinal sides of the base frame 320, and the upper ends of the upper sections are each connected to positions of the support component 200 corresponding to the middle sections. The cross-sectional area of ​​the lower section is larger than that of the upper section to provide a wider bearing surface at the lower end, thus ensuring the device rests more stably on the base frame 320. The upper section is longer than the lower section. The upper section extends upwards and outwards from a junction with the lower section to provide a spacious and comfortable seating area for the child. It is understood that the upper and lower sections of the support element 310 can be formed as a single piece.Furthermore, the lower ends of the two support elements 310 are connected via a connecting seat of the baby swing (as in . Fig. 1 shown) connected to each other, and the connecting seat is designed to connect the seat 100 to other components, such as the swivel arm 700 of the baby swing.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a fastening part 311 is arranged on each support element 310. Optionally, the fastening part 311 is arranged at a position on the lower section of each support element 310 that faces the front end of the support component 200. Optionally, the fastening part 311 consists of a fastening rod 312, a recess 314, and a slot 315. Optionally, as shown in Fig. 3A and Fig. As shown in Figure 3B, the recess 314 is formed by recessing the side surface of the support element 310, which faces the front end of the support component 200; the fastening rod 312 is formed by the side edge of the support element 310, which faces the front end of the support component 200; the slot 315 is formed by stiffening the side surface of the support element 310, which faces the other support element 310; the slot 315 and the recess 314 are connected to each other; the fastening rod 312 is formed between the recess 314 and the slot 315 so that the underside 520 of the safety shield 500 can be detachably connected to the support element 310 via the fastening part 311.

[0040] In other embodiments, the fastening part 311 can be provided with the fastening rod 312. Furthermore, no recess is provided on any side surface of the support element 310. The two ends of the fastening rod 312 are each connected to the side surfaces of the support element 310 and, together with the side surfaces of the support element 310, enclose a slot.

[0041] Based on the structure of the aforementioned fastening part 311, the safety shield 500 can also be adapted to the fastening part 311 in various ways.

[0042] As in Fig. 2, Fig. 4A and Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the safety shield 500 comprises a shielding piece 530 and two connecting elements 522, which are connected to the shielding piece 530. The two connecting elements 522 are each connected to the left and right sides of the shielding piece 530. Optionally, the shielding piece 530 is designed as a continuous fabric body to be firmly connected to the seat fabric 220 at the top, and the two connecting elements 522 serve to be detachably connected to the two support elements 310 along the left-right direction in a one-to-one correspondence. Optionally, the two connecting elements 522 are wrapped around the fastening rods 312 on the two support elements 310 in a one-to-one correspondence to tension and tighten the shielding piece 530.

[0046] As in the Fig. As shown in Figures 4A-4C, the winding element 525 is connected to the shielding piece 530 via a connecting strap 527. Optionally, the winding element 525 is provided with three rods that are parallel to and spaced apart from each other. Optionally, the winding element 525 is designed as a triple sliding closure. The two ends of the connecting strap 527 are each connected to the shielding piece 530, and the connecting strap 527 is wound around a central rod of the winding element 525 to connect the winding element 525 to the shielding piece 530. The two surrounding parts 5243 of the two connecting elements 522 are each wound around the two remaining rods of the winding element 525 to connect the two connecting elements 522 to the winding element 525.In other embodiments, two winding elements 525 can be provided, and the two connecting elements 522 are each connected to the two winding elements 525 in a one-to-one correspondence to be indirectly connected to the shielding piece 530. The two winding elements 525 are each connected to the shielding piece 530 via corresponding connecting straps 527. Each winding element 525 is provided with two rods that are parallel to and spaced apart from each other. In particular, each winding element 525 is designed as a square buckle, with one rod wound around the corresponding connecting strap 527 and the other rod wound around the corresponding connecting element 522.

[0047] As in the Fig. As shown in Figures 4A-4C, the two connecting elements 522 are optionally connected to each other via the connecting strap 527, and the two connecting elements 522 and the connecting strap 527 are arranged in a single-piece structure. In particular, the two connecting elements 522 and the connecting strap 527 can be designed as a strip-shaped element.

[0048] As in the Fig. As shown in Figures 4A-4C, the first engagement part 5241 and the second engagement part 5242 can be a male closure and a female closure, a button and a buttonhole, a hook surface and a loop surface of a hook and loop fastener, etc., or be connected by mutual attachment.

[0049] The winding portion 526 of each connecting element 522 passes successively through the recess 314 and the slot 315 of the corresponding support element 310 to extend towards the fastening rod 312, and then extends in the opposite direction away from the fastening rod 312 to wind around it. The surrounding portion 5243 extends away from the fastening rod 312 and then towards it to wind around one of the rods of the winding element 525, so that the first engagement portion 5241 and the second engagement portion 5242 can be positioned on the same side of the winding element 525 and connected to each other. The opposing winding directions of the winding portion 526 and the surrounding portion 5243 can improve the connection strength between the connecting element 522 and the support element 310.

[0050] In other embodiments, the connecting element 522 can also be a keyhole element, each connected to the shielding piece 530. The keyhole element has an elastic locking function to form a closed loop when it is not hooked onto the fastening rod 312. When it is necessary to hook the fastening rod 312, an actuating element of the keyhole element can be pressed so that the keyhole element forms an open loop. After the fastening rod 312 has penetrated the actuating element, the actuating element can return to its original position due to an elastic force, so that the locking element can again form a closed loop to connect the connecting element 522 to the fastening rod 312.

[0051] In a further embodiment of the present disclosure, the arrangement of the fastening part 311 is essentially the same as that of the fastening part 311 in the embodiment mentioned above, with the sole difference being that the fastening rod 312 is broken along its extension direction to form a notch 313, as shown in Fig. 5A and Fig. 5B shown.

[0052] To connect the fastening rod 312 to the notch 313, as shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the engagement part 524 of the same connecting element 522 is connected to the connecting part 523 in order to be indirectly connected to the shielding piece 530. The connecting parts 523, the winding parts 526, and the engagement parts 524 of the two connecting elements 522 are connected to each other to form a loop that can be slipped onto the mounting rod 312 through the notch 313. Along the extension direction of the fastening rod 312, the width of the notch 313 is smaller than the width of the winding part 526. This allows the winding part 526 to move through the notch 313 from one side of the fastening rod 312 to the other side of the fastening rod 312, and the fastening rod 312 can enter the loop, whereupon the winding part 526 is extended upwards and downwards to cover the notch 313 and be hooked onto the fastening rod 312, thereby hooking the safety shield 500 onto the support element 310.This design makes it easier for the user to quickly assemble or disassemble the 500 safety shield.

[0053] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the notch 313 is provided in the middle section of the fastening rod 312. In other embodiments, the notch 313 can also be provided at the end of the fastening rod 312.

[0054] Fig. Figure 7 is a schematic perspective view of a seat 100 provided with a safety shield 500 according to a further embodiment of the present disclosure. As in Fig. 7 and Fig. As shown in Figure 9, the supporting component 200, in accordance with the first embodiment described above, comprises a frame 210 (as shown in Figure 9). Fig. (12 shown), a seat fabric 220 covering the frame 210, and a rigid support plate 230 located within the seat fabric 220. In addition to the seat part 221 and the backrest part 222, the seat fabric 220 also has a leg support part 223, and the support plate 230 has a seat support plate 231 and a leg support plate 233, corresponding to the seat part 221 and the leg support part 223, respectively. The back support part 222 does not have a backrest support plate and supports the child only by means of the backrest support part 222. The frame 210 is configured as an essentially rectangular frame.

[0055] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 7, the support component 300, in accordance with the first embodiment described above, comprises a base frame 320 and a support element 310. Optionally, the base frame 320 is configured as a substantially rectangular frame, with one short side of the base frame 320 being the front of the base frame 320 and one short side of the frame 210 being the front of the frame 210. Furthermore, the support element 310 is located between the front end of the base frame 320 and the front end of the support component 200 and can be used to set a dimension of an enclosed angle between the front end of the base frame 320 and the front end of the support component 200.

[0056] The shape and material of the safety shield 500 in this embodiment are the same as those of the safety shield 500 in the first embodiment and are not repeated here. It should be noted that the connection method of the safety shield 500 differs from that of the safety shield 500 in the embodiment above. The safety shield 500 in this embodiment is attached between the seat fabric 220 of the support component 200 and the base frame 320 of the support component 300 and is not connected to the support element 310. Optionally, the left and right ends of the second side edge 520 of the safety shield 500 are each connected to the middle sections of the two longitudinal sides of the base frame 320. Optionally, the two connecting elements 522 are each wrapped around the two longitudinal sides to connect the safety shield 500 to the base frame 320.The manner in which the two connecting elements 522 are connected to each other or to the shielding piece 530 can be seen from the above embodiments, wherein the manner in which the connecting elements 522 are wrapped around the fastening rods 312 is changed so that they are wrapped around the two longitudinal sides.

[0057] In contrast to the previous embodiments, the two longitudinal sides of the base frame 320 are spaced apart, and each longitudinal side extends from the central section to both ends, sloping slightly upwards. This design allows the support component 300 to oscillate up and down during use, causing the associated carrying component 200 to oscillate, thus providing the child sitting in the seat 100 with a cradle-like experience, which not only helps to soothe the child but also arouses its interest.

[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the support component 300 is also provided with an anti-swivel bar 330. In particular, the anti-swivel bar 330 can be pivotally arranged at the rear end of the base frame 320. When the support component 300 needs to oscillate, the anti-swivel bar 330 is received in a rectangular frame of the base frame 320; when the support component 300 does not need to oscillate, the anti-swivel bar 330 can be rotated from the base frame 320 towards the ground and is supported on the ground. The anti-swivel bar 330 can be designed in various shapes, as long as it fits into the rectangular frame of the base frame 320 when folded and can be supported on the ground when unfolded.Preferably, in this embodiment, the anti-swivel rod 330 can be configured as a U-shaped element, wherein the two spaced-apart sides of the U-shaped element are adapted to the shapes of the two longitudinal sides of the base frame 320, the middle side of the U-shaped element is adapted to the shape of the short side at the rear end of the base frame 320, and the short side of the U-shaped element is pivotably connected to the short side of the base frame 320.

[0059] Furthermore, the present disclosure also provides for a safety belt in the seat fabric 220 to secure the infant in the seat fabric 220 and prevent accidental falls. The structure of the safety belt is described in detail below.

[0060] The Fig. Figures 8A-8B are schematic rear views of the seat fabric of the safety seat made of Fig. 7, each showing the state in which the Velcro fasteners are attached to the back of the seat fabric or separated from each other.

[0061] In this embodiment, the seat fabric 220 can be formed in one piece and provided with positions for exposing the support elements 310. Furthermore, an opening 227 is provided on the back of the seat fabric 220 to allow it to be slid onto the frame 210. Optionally, the opening 227 can be provided in the leg support part 223 on the back of the seat fabric 220. The central section of the leg support part 223 is divided into a first section 2231 and a second section 2232, and the first section 2231 and the second section 2232 are provided with a first fitting part 2231A and a second fitting part 2232A, which are connected to each other. The seat part 221 is provided with a third fitting part 221A, and the first section 2231 and the second section 2232 are each provided with a fourth fitting part 2231B and a fifth fitting part 2232B, which are connected to the third fitting part 221A.The first fitting part 2231A and the second fitting part 2232A can be a male and a female fastener, a button and a buttonhole, a hook surface and a loop surface of a hook fastener, etc., that are mated together. The third fitting part 221A and the fourth fitting part 2231B can be a male and a female fastener, a button and a buttonhole, a hook surface and a loop surface of a hook fastener, etc., that are mated together. The third fitting part 221A and the fifth fitting part 2232B can be a male and a female fastener, a button and a buttonhole, a hook surface and a loop surface of a hook fastener, etc., that are mated together.

[0062] As in Fig. Figure 8B shows that the first fitting part 2231A and the second fitting part 2232A are the hook and loop surfaces of the hook and loop fastener, the third fitting part 221A is one of the hook and loop surfaces of the hook and loop fastener, the fourth fitting part 2231B is the other of the hook and loop surfaces of the hook and loop fastener, and the fifth fitting part 2232B is the other of the hook and loop surfaces of the hook and loop fastener. At this point, the direction of extension of the first fitting part 2231A intersects with the direction of extension of the fourth fitting part 2231B, and the direction of extension of the second fitting part 2232A intersects with the direction of extension of the fifth fitting part 2232B, optionally perpendicular to each other.

[0063] In existing seats, the seat fabric is directly connected to the supporting component without a rigid support structure, resulting in a relatively soft seat fabric that is uncomfortable for small children. Alternatively, a plastic support structure is provided on the supporting component to support the seat, which leads to high costs. To solve this problem, the present disclosure provides a support plate 230, which can be designed as a piece of PE sheet or corrugated cardboard. The support plate 230 is partially split in the thickness direction, so that the two split parts of the support plate 230 can be joined together and bent in the same direction. The support plate 230 not only has a simple structure but is also more cost-effective.

[0064] The specific application of the support plate 230 in the present disclosure is described in detail below.

[0065] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 9, a support plate 230 is arranged in the seat fabric 220 of the present disclosure. As mentioned above, the support plate 230 can comprise a seat support plate 231 corresponding to the seat part 221 and a leg support plate 233 corresponding to the leg support part 223 of the seat fabric 220 in order to better support the child and provide a comfortable seating experience. In other embodiments, the support plate 230 can further comprise a backrest support plate corresponding to the backrest part 222.

[0066] As in Fig. 10A, Fig. 10B and Fig. As shown in Figure 11, the support plate 230 is provided with a first surface 2301 and a second surface 2302, which are arranged opposite each other in the thickness direction. A crack 234 is formed on the first surface 2301, the crack 234 not extending from the first surface 2301 to the second surface 2302. Furthermore, the crack 234 extends in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the support plate 230 to an edge of the support plate 230. In conjunction with Fig. Figure 12 shows a fold 2303 on the second surface 2302 of the support plate 230 at a position opposite the crack 234 along the thickness direction, such that the support plate 230 can be divided into the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 with the fold 2303 as the boundary, and the seat support plate 231 can be rotated relative to the leg support plate 233 at the fold 2303. Optionally, the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 can be rotated relative to each other in the direction of the side on which the fold 2303 is located (as in Figure 12). Fig. 10B and Fig. (12 shown). Optionally, the support plate 230 is a PE plate, and the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 are formed by partially splitting a single PE plate in the thickness direction. Since the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 are formed by dividing the same support plate 230, i.e., the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 are formed in one piece, no additional connecting components are required to join them together. Furthermore, the connection method described above between the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 is also applicable to the seat support plate 231 and the backrest support plate, which is not repeated here.

[0067] Fig. Figure 11 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the partially divided support plate, clearly showing that the first surface 2301 of the support plate 230 is divided, while the second surface 2302 of the support plate 230 is not divided.

[0068] In this embodiment, the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 can be arranged in positions corresponding to the seat part 221 and the leg support part 223 of the seat fabric 220. The shape and size of the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 can correspond to those of the seat part 221 and the leg support part 223. A crotch strap hole 235 is provided at the central position of the front end of the seat support plate 231 near the leg support plate 233; correspondingly, the crotch strap hole 235 is also provided at the corresponding position of the seat part 221 so that the crotch strap (as described below) can be passed through it.

[0069] As in Fig. 11 and Fig. As shown in Figure 12, the support plate 230 can further be provided with a reinforcing element 236 at a position on the second surface 2302 corresponding to the fold 2303 to ensure the connection strength between the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233. The reinforcing element 236 crosses the fold 2303 to connect the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233, and the reinforcing element 236 is, for example, an adhesive tape. When the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 are folded towards each other on the side where the first surface 2301 is located, the reinforcing element 236 can exert a reaction force to effectively prevent the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 from moving further towards each other on the side where the first surface 2301 is located.This prevents the support plate 230 from being completely split at the fold 2303, and avoids a complete separation between the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233.

[0070] As in Fig. 9 and Fig. As shown in Figure 12, a support strap 228 is fixedly attached to the frame 210. The support strap 228 is positioned between the front and rear ends of the frame 210. Optionally, the support strap 228 is connected to both longitudinal sides of the frame 210. The support strap 228 is configured to support the support plate 230. Optionally, the support strap 228 is located on one side of the second surface 2302, away from the first surface 2301, and is positioned opposite the fold 2303 in the thickness direction of the support plate 230. The seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 move towards each other on the side where the fold 2303 is located, so that they abut opposite edges of the support strap 228, i.e., the support strap 228 is clamped between the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233.This allows the relative angle between the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 to be defined, so that the seat support plate 231 and the leg support plate 233 form a specific angle that meets ergonomic requirements and provides more comfort to the child sitting in the seat 100, while ensuring a simple structure and low cost.

[0071] In this embodiment, the support belt 228 can be a strap to save costs, but the support belt 228 of the present disclosure is not limited to this and can also be an iron tube or plastic, etc.

[0072] The Fig. Figures 13A-13B show schematic representations of the safety belt arranged on the seat in a locked and an unlocked state, respectively. As mentioned above, for the safety of the infant seated in the seat 100, an additional safety belt is arranged on the seat 100 of the present disclosure. As shown in the figures, the safety belt comprises two lap belts 224 connected to the backrest part 222 and a crotch strap 225 connected to the seat part 221. One end of the lap belt 224 is attached to the backrest 222, and the other end of the lap belt 224 is provided with a male fastener 2241 (preferably in Fig. 13B). One end of the crotch strap 225 is sewn to a central position on the front end of the seat part 221 near the leg support part 223, and the other end of the crotch strap 225 is connected to two female fasteners 2261, each adapted to the male fasteners 2241 (best seen in Fig.(13B shown). For aesthetic and comfort reasons, the part where the female buckle 2261 connects to the crotch strap 225 can generally be enclosed by a protective part 226 of the safety belt. However, if the female buckle 2261 and the male buckle 2241 need to be locked or unlocked, the female buckle 2261 can protrude from the protective part 226 to allow the user easier access to the female buckle 2261 for locking or unlocking. When the female buckle 2261 and the male buckle 2241 are locked, the protective part 226 also encloses the male buckle 2241 to prevent the child from touching the locked female buckle 2261 and the male buckle 2241, which could lead to accidental unlocking of the female buckle 2261 and the male buckle 2241.It should be noted that the length of the hip belt 224 can be adjusted to suit the needs of infants with different body shapes. When the child is seated in the seat 100, both legs are placed on either side of the crotch strap 225. Depending on the infant's build, the length of the hip belt 224 is adjusted, and the hip belt 224 is pulled to insert and lock the male buckle 2241 into the female buckle 2261, thus securing the infant in the seat 100. When the child needs to be lifted out of the seat 100, the hip belt 224 and crotch strap 225 can only be unlocked by pulling the male buckle 2241 out of the female buckle 2261.
