Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of safety seats, in particular to a back reinforcement structure of a safety seat and the safety seat.Background Art

[0002] At present, a vehicle is usually equipped with a car child safety seat for guaranteeing safety of a child in a vehicle. The seat can protect the child by effectively reducing personal injury to the child in the case of an accident. The safety seat usually includes a base and a back rotatable relative to the base. The base is provided with a rotary plate for being connected to the back. By rotating the back, forward and reverse mounting of the safety seat can be implemented.

[0003] However, an existing safety seat has the following defects. Specifically, a mounting structure between the back and the rotary plate is complex, and in the process of assembling the back to the base, several long round steel bars are required to run through numerous parts from a side surface, resulting in high production and processing costs of the safety seat due to difficult hole alignment and penetration. In addition, the back has a low structural strength, and is likely to deform after use of the child safety seat for a long time, posing certain safety risks for the child in the vehicle.

[0025] It should be noted that a term such as "first" or "second" in the description and the claims of the present invention is used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe a specific sequence or order.

[0026] The terms such as "include / comprise" and "have" and any variations thereof in the description and the claims of the present invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, processes, methods, systems, products, or devices that include a series of steps or units are not necessarily limited to those explicitly listed steps or units, but can include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to the processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1-10, the present invention may provide a back reinforcement structure of a safety seat. The back reinforcement structure of a safety seat includes: a back 10, a rotary plate 20, a reinforcement member 30 and a connector 40, where the back 10 is provided with a first connection portion 111, the rotary plate 20 is connected to the first connection portion 111 through the connector 40, the reinforcement member 30 is arranged in the back 10, and the reinforcement member 30 is connected to the first connection portion 111.

[0028] The reinforcement member 30 is arranged in the back 10, the first connection portion 111 is connected to the reinforcement member 30 and the rotary plate 20, and the back 10, the rotary plate 20 and the reinforcement member 30 form an integrated stress structure, such that the strength of the back 10 can be enhanced.

[0029] Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 10, the reinforcement member 30 is connected to the first connection portion 111 through the connector 40; and the connector 40 sequentially penetrates the first reinforcement portion 31, the first connection portion 111 and the rotary plate 20 to connect the reinforcement member 30, the back 10 and the rotary plate 20 to one another.

[0030] More particularly, the connector 40 includes a bolt and a nut, the reinforcement member 30 may be sheet iron, and the sheet iron has high hardness. Compared with an existing connection structure between the back 10 and the rotary plate 20, such as a sliding connection between the back 10 and the rotary plate 20, a connection structure of the present disclosure is simpler and production and assembly costs are lower.

[0031] Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, the back 10 includes a hip support area 11 and a back support area 12, the reinforcement member 30 includes a first reinforcement portion 31 connected to the first connection portion 111, and a second reinforcement portion 32 and a third reinforcement portion 33 that extend from two ends of the first reinforcement portion 31; the first reinforcement portion 31 and the third reinforcement portion 33 are located in the hip support area 11; and the second reinforcement portion 32 is located in the back support area 12.

[0032] The third reinforcement portion 33 and the first reinforcement portion 31 both enhance the strength of the hip support area 11, the second reinforcement portion 32 enhances the strength of the back support area 12, and the second reinforcement portion 32 and the third reinforcement portion 33 are located at two ends of the first reinforcement portion 31 respectively. When a child sits in the safety seat, the second reinforcement portion 32 and the third reinforcement portion 33 are simultaneously stressed and then transmit a pressure to the first reinforcement portion 31 from two ends respectively, such that the first reinforcement portion 31 can be uniformly stressed, and the second reinforcement portion 32 is prevented from driving the whole reinforcement member 30 to move backwards after the second reinforcement portion is stressed.

[0033] The hip support area 11 and the back support area 12 may be integrally formed; and the first reinforcement portion 31, the second reinforcement portion 32 and the third reinforcement portion 33 are integrally formed, such that an integrally formed structure has a high structural strength.

[0034] The back support area 12 has a certain curvature in a vertical direction, and the reinforcement member 30 is bent into an arc along a shape of the back support area 12.

[0035] Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, the first reinforcement portion 31 sinks towards the rotary plate 20, the first connection portion 111 is suitable for accommodating the first reinforcement portion 31, and the two ends of the first reinforcement portion 31 are both connected to the first connection portion 111.

[0036] Specifically, the first reinforcement portion 31 extends by a certain distance in a front-back direction of the back 10. A first end 312 and a second end 313 of the first reinforcement portion 31 sink towards the rotary plate 20 separately and are connected to the first connection portion 111. A plurality of connection points are provided between the reinforcement member 30 and the first connection portion 111, thereby achieving a stable connection structure.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 2, the rotary plate 20 is provided with a connection recess 211, the connection recess 211 protrudes towards the first connection portion 111, and the connection recess 211 is suitable for accommodating an end of the connector 40. The end of the connector 40 can be effectively prevented from interfering with the rotation of the rotary plate 20.

[0038] For example, when the connector 40 is the bolt, the bolt may be mounted from bottom to top. A threaded section of the bolt sequentially penetrates the rotary plate 20, the reinforcement member 30 and the first connection portion 111, and a lower end of the bolt is accommodated in the connection recess 211, such that the bolt is unlikely to interfere with the rotation of the rotary plate 20 relative to the base, and an upper end of the bolt is tightened with the nut.

[0039] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIGS. 8-9, the reinforcement member 30 includes a first plate 310 adapted to be inserted into the back 10 and a second plate 311 extending from a side of the first plate 310, and the second plate 311 is adapted to connect to the first connection portion 111.

[0040] The second plate 311 is arranged such that a connection between the reinforcement member 30 and the first connection portion 111 is easier and more convenient, and the first plate 310 can provide support for parts inside the back 10 or an upper surface of the back 10, so as to enhance the strength of the back 10.

[0041] Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 9, a left side and a right side of the back 10 are provided with mounting recesses 13 respectively for mounting the reinforcement members 30, and a pair of reinforcement members 30 are arranged and are symmetrically mounted in the mounting recesses 13.

[0042] More specifically, the mounting recess 13 penetrates in the front-back direction of the back 10, and the reinforcement member 30 is adapted to be directly inserted into the mounting recess 13, such that the reinforcement member 30 is convenient to assemble.

[0043] A reinforcement effect on the strength of the back 10 is limited by arranging a single reinforcement member 30, and since a child is active, the child will not always sit in a center of the safety seat. If the single reinforcement member 30 is arranged on a centerline of the safety seat, uneven stressing is still caused, and the reinforcement member 30 will be deformed or displaced. If too many reinforcement members 30 are arranged, the production cost can be increased, and more mounting holes are required. Excessive opening will reduce the structural strength of the back 10 and the rotary plate 20. According to the present application, a pair of reinforcement members 30 are symmetrically arranged on a left side and a right side of the back 10, such that a pressure of the back 10 or the rotary plate 20 on the reinforcement members 30 is evenly divided into two parts, thereby improving stability of the connection structure, and effectively enhancing the strength of the back 10.

[0044] Further, other structures (for example, a long transverse shaft that may be inserted) may be arranged between the first plates 310 of the two reinforcement members 30, so as to further increase the strength of the back 10.

[0045] Further, each first plate 310 is provided with two second plates 311, the reinforcement member 30 is provided with four second plates 311 in total, and each second plate 311 is adapted to connect to two connectors 40. The connection structure is more stable and firm, and can effectively prevent loosening at a connection place.

[0046] Correspondingly, as shown in FIGS. 4-5, the rotary plate 20 includes a plate surface with a substantially circular shape, and a pair of connectors 40 are mounted at each of four corners of the plate surface.

[0047] A central area of the rotary plate 20 is relatively complete, and a structural strength of the rotary plate 20 is desirable.

[0048] The present application may further provide a safety seat using the back reinforcement structure above. Since the rotary plate 20 is fixedly connected to the back 10 and the reinforcement member 30 is arranged in the back 10, the safety seat has a high structural strength and is more durable.

[0049] The scope of protection of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
