DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Although the invention is illustrated and described herein with reference to specific embodiments, the invention should not be limited to the details shown. Indeed, various modifications of these details can be made within the scope of the equivalent scheme of the claims and without departing from the invention.

[0017] Directional descriptions such as "front", "back", "upper", and "lower" in this specification are for the convenience of understanding, and the present invention is not limited to these directions and can be adjusted according to actual situations.

[0018] First, referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a seat 100 according to the present application, in which a seat body 110 is rotated forward. As shown, the seat 100 includes a seat body 110 and a base 120. The seat body 110 is rotatably attached to the base 120 so that the seat body 110 can be rotated to a forward-facing position (FIG. 1) and a rearward-facing position (FIG. 2). The base 120 is attached to a pedestal located below the base 120, and in one embodiment, the base 120 can slide back and forth relative to the pedestal, providing more positions for the base 120. The pedestal is used to secure the entire seat 100 to a carriage such as an automobile.

[0019] Next, referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the seat 100 according to the present application from another angle, in which the seat body 110 is rotated to a rearward-facing position. As shown in the figure, the seat body 110 rotates 180 degrees with respect to the base 120 from the forward-facing position shown in FIG. 1 to reach a rearward-facing position in which the seat back faces forward, and is used for small infants and toddlers, and in this technical solution, this direction is used for infants and toddlers aged 0 to 4 years. In this way, for example, when a moving car suddenly decelerates, the seat 100 in the rearward-facing position can play a role in mitigating the impact force on the child in the seat 100 and protecting the child. Also, when the rotation axis of the seat body 110 has a certain inclination angle, the seat body 110 in the rearward-facing position can provide a certain elevation angle, and can provide a more comfortable ride.

[0020] Next, referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the seat 100 according to the present application from another angle, in which the lower base of the base 120 is omitted and the seat body 110 is rotated to a rearward facing position. From FIG. 3, the positional relationship between the seat body 110 and the base 120 can be seen more clearly. From FIG. 3, the push button 160 of the rotation misuse prevention device can also be seen. The push button 160 is located on the outside of the base 120, and this position is configured so that a user can rotate the seat body 110 with one hand while operating the push button 160 with the other hand. The user can operate the rotation misuse prevention device with the push button 160, thereby locking and unlocking the relative rotation between the seat body 110 and the base 120.

[0021] In the present application, the push button 160, the drive block 170, and the connecting member 165 may be referred to as a pushing assembly.

[0022] Referring to Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the seat 100 of the present application from another angle, in which the pedestal under the base 120 is omitted and the seat body 110 is rotated to an intermediate position between the forward-facing position and the rearward-facing position. At this time, the seat body 110 is approximately lateral to the base 120. According to the rotation misuse prevention device of the present application, the seat 100 can be designed to be locked in any rotation position. In this embodiment, a rotation misuse prevention device capable of locking the seat body 110 in the forward-facing position and the rearward-facing position is shown, but it should be understood that the present application is not limited to these two locking positions.

[0023] 5A and 5B are perspective views showing two different angles of the base 120, the pressing member 130, the mounting member 140, the stopper 150 and the push button 160 of the seat 100 according to the present application, where the pressing member 130 is rotated to a different position from the stopper 150.

[0024] As shown, the base 120 has a circular track on the side facing the seat body 110, and the pressing member 130 can slide on this circular track, is fixedly connected to the seat body 110, and can rotate relative to the base 120 along with the seat body 110. In the illustrated embodiment, two pressing members 130 are uniformly provided along the circumference of the circular track, and each pressing member 130 has an arc portion extending approximately along the circular track and hook portions at both ends of the arc portion, the arc portion is inserted into the circular track so that the pressing member 130 can slide along the circular track, and the hook portion extends toward the seat body 110 and is joined to the bottom of the seat body 110. Note that the shape and number of the pressing members 130 in this embodiment are merely illustrative.

[0025] In other embodiments, the pressing members 130 may be single or multiple, and may be uniformly or non-uniformly distributed on the circumference of the circular track. In other embodiments, the pressing members 130 may have different shapes as long as they can be fixedly connected to the seat body 110.

[0026] The mounting member 140 is fixedly attached to the base 120 to provide a structure for mounting members such as the stopper 150. The stopper 150 is pivotally connected to the mounting member 140, and the rotation axis of the stopper 150 is approximately along the radial direction of the annular track. In this manner, the pivoting of the stopper 150 can lift one end of the stopper 150 toward the seat body 110, which interferes with the pressing member 130 (specifically, the barrier portion 131 in the annular portion of the pressing member), and can prevent the pressing member 130 from sliding along the annular track when the pressing member 130 rotates from the rearward direction to the position of the stopper 150 (FIG. 6). This will be described in detail later.

[0027] The push button 160 is attached to the side wall of the base 120, with a portion of it exposed to the outside of the seat 100 through an opening in the side wall, thereby making it easy for the user to operate it, and the other portion is connected to a drive block 170 (described later) of the mounting member 140, and drives the pivoting of the stopper 150 via the drive block 170.

[0028] In the illustrated embodiment, two sets of assemblies are evenly spaced along the circumference of the circular track, and each set includes a mounting member 140, a stopper 150, a push button 160, and a drive block 170. In addition, there is a synchronous interlock between the two sets of assemblies, so that the stoppers 150 in the two sets of assemblies synchronously block or do not block the corresponding pressing members 130. In this way, a user can control the two sets of assemblies simultaneously by only operating the push button 160 in one set of assemblies. In the illustrated embodiment, the synchronous interlock is an annular interlock member 190 connected to the two push buttons 160, and the interlock member 190 extends about 180 degrees along the circular track, but is not limited to this angle. It is to be noted that other types of synchronous interlock devices can also be adopted. It is to be noted that only one set of assemblies may have a push button 160 for user operation to drive all the assemblies by the synchronous interlock between each set.

[0029] 6, which is a perspective view of the base 120, the pressing member 130, the mounting member 140, the stopper 150, and the push button 160 of the seat 100 according to the present application, in which the pressing member 130 has been rotated to the position of the stopper 150. In the position shown in FIG. 6, a user can operate the push button 160 to move the stopper 150, thereby preventing or allowing the pressing member 130 to slide along the circular track, and further preventing or allowing the seat main body 110 to rotate relative to the base 120.

[0030] 7 and 8, Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the pressing member 130, the mounting member 140, the stopper 150, and the push button 160 of the sheet 100 according to the present application, where the pressing member 130 is rotated to a position different from the stopper 150. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the pressing member 130, the mounting member 140, the stopper 150, and the push button 160 of the sheet 100 according to the present application, where the pressing member 130 is rotated to the position of the stopper 150. Figs. 7 and 8 make it possible to more clearly understand the positional relationship between the pressing member 130, the mounting member 140, the stopper 150, and the push button 160 of the present application.

[0031] 9A and 9B, FIG. 9A is a perspective view of the pressing member 130, the mounting member 140, the stopper 150 and the push buttons 160 of the sheet 100 according to the present application, where one push button 160 is in an exploded state, and FIG. 9B is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 9A.

[0032] As shown in the figure, the push button 160 has an arc-shaped push button plate 161 extending along the inner wall of the base 120, a push button operation portion 162 protruding from one side of the push button plate 161, and a push button connection portion 163 extending from the push button plate 161 in the opposite direction to the push button operation portion 162, and the push button connection portion 163 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the base 120. During use, the push button plate 161 is attached to the inside of the side wall of the base 120 so that the push button 160 can slide within a certain range along the side wall of the base 120. The push button operation portion 162 extends from an opening in the side wall of the base 120 so that a user can operate the push button 160. A connecting member 165 connected to the drive block 170 and an interlocking member 190 connected to another push button 160 are inserted into the insertion hole of the push button connection portion 163, causing the connecting member 165 and the interlocking member 190 to move together with the push button 160.

[0033] The connecting member 165 is a folding rod member having a plurality of extending segments, including a first segment extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the base 120 and inserted into the push button 160, a second segment extending circumferentially around the base 120 for connecting the first segment and a third segment, and a third segment extending radially around the base 120 and inserted into the drive block 170 through the elongated grooves 142 on the first side wall 141a and the second side wall 141b of the mounting member 140, causing the drive block 170 and the push button 160 to move together.

[0034] Next, reference is made to Figures 10A and 10B. Figure 10A is a perspective view of the pressing member 130, the mounting member 140, the stopper 150, and the push button 160 of the sheet 100 according to the present application, in which the mounting member 140, the stopper 150, the push button 160, and other members on one side are in a disassembled state. Figure 10B is a partially enlarged view of Figure 10A.

[0035] As shown in the figure, the mounting member 140 is generally box-shaped having a bottom wall and a first side wall 141a and a second side wall 141b standing on either side of the bottom wall, and both ends are provided with mounting features such as bolt holes for fixing to the base 120. Thus, the mounting member 140 forms an accommodation space with one side open so that at least a portion of the accommodation space is accommodated in the drive block 170 and the stopper 150. The first side wall 141a and the second side wall 141b of the mounting member 140 are each provided with a pivot hole so that the stopper 150 can be pivotally assembled to the mounting member 140.

[0036] The drive block 170 is slidably provided in the accommodation space of the mounting member 140, and slides in the circumferential direction of the base 120 along the bottom wall of the mounting member 140. The drive block 170 has a first end 171 and a second end 172 along its sliding direction, and has a protrusion 173 between the first end 171 and the second end 172. In the height direction perpendicular to the sliding direction, the first end 171 has a gradually increasing height that transitions at an angle to the protrusion 173, and the second end 172 has a substantially uniform height that is lower than the protrusion 173. The drive block 170 is also provided with a drive block insertion hole for inserting the connection member 165 into the drive block 170.

[0037] The stopper 150 has a top surface 151 facing away from the bottom wall of the mounting member 140 and substantially parallel to the bottom wall, and a bottom surface 152 facing the bottom wall of the mounting member 140 and substantially parallel to the bottom wall, where an outwardly protruding foot portion 153 is provided on the bottom surface 152 of the stopper 150, and the pushing assembly pivots the stopper 150 from the locked position to the released position by pushing the foot portion 153. A pivot hole is also provided along the radial direction of the base 120 in the stopper 150, and a rotation shaft (not shown) passes through the pivot holes of the first side wall 141a and the second side wall 141b of the mounting member 140 and the pivot hole of the stopper 150, so that the stopper 150 is pivotally assembled to the mounting member 140.

[0038] A torsion spring 180 is also provided between the stopper 150 and the mounting member 140. The torsion spring 180 is fitted around the pivot hole of the stopper 150, with one end abutting against the stopper 150 and the other end abutting against the mounting member 140, biasing the stopper 150 to the lock position (i.e., a position that prevents the movement of the pressing member 130).

[0039] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the drive block 170, the push button 160, and the connecting member 165 are assembled to form a push assembly, which may facilitate assembly of the entire rotation misuse prevention device. In other embodiments, the drive block 170, the push button 160, and the connecting member 165 may be formed as a unitary member.

[0040] Next, the operation of the rotation misuse prevention device of the present application will be described with reference to Figures 11 and 12. Figure 11 is a perspective view of the pressing member 130, the mounting member 140, the stopper 150, and the push button 160 of the sheet 100 of the present application from a certain angle, where the mounting member 140, the stopper 150, the push button 160, and other members on one side are shown in cross-section, and the stopper 150 does not block the pressing member 130. Figure 12 is a perspective view of the pressing member 130, the mounting member 140, the stopper 150, and the push button 160 of the sheet 100 of the present application from another angle, where the mounting member 140, the stopper 150, the push button 160, and other members on one side are shown in cross-section, and the pressing member 130 is blocked by the stopper 150.

[0041] 11, the drive block 170 slides to the left in the accommodation space of the mounting member 140 so that the first end 171 of the drive block 170 abuts against the end wall of the mounting member 140. The foot 153 of the stopper 150 abuts against a uniform height segment (or flat portion) between the second end 172 and the protrusion 173 of the drive block 170 so that the top surface 151 of the stopper 150 is substantially parallel to the bottom wall of the mounting member 140. In this way, the stopper 150 does not prevent the pressing member 130 from sliding along the annular track.

[0042] When the user needs to lock the pressing member 130 (and the seat body 110), the push button 160 is operated to move to the right in the figure, and the driving block 170 slides and abuts against the right end wall of the mounting member 140. In this process, the foot 153 of the stopper 150 passes over the slope between the flat part of the second end 172 of the driving block 170 and the protruding part 173, and then slides down along the slope between the first end 171 of the driving block 170 and the protruding part 173 until it abuts against the bottom wall of the mounting member 140. At this time, the stopper 150 rotates relative to the mounting member 140 so that the top surface 151 of the stopper 150 is inclined relative to the bottom wall of the mounting member 140. As a result, one end of the stopper 150 is lifted away from the mounting member 140 and interferes with the barrier part 131 of the pressing member 130, thereby preventing the rotation of the pressing member 130 (and the seat body 110).

[0043] In the illustrated embodiment, the stopper 150 is shown to block rotation of the pressing member 130 in one direction. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the stopper 150 can be configured to block rotation of the pressing member 130 in both directions. For example, one end of the stopper 150 can be configured to have a notch that corresponds to the barrier portion 131 of the pressing member 130, thereby locking the barrier portion 131 in both directions.

[0044] This specification also discloses the following invention.

[0045] (1) A rotation misuse prevention device connected between a first member and a second member that rotate relative to one another, the rotation misuse prevention device comprising a barrier portion and a stopper, the barrier portion fixed to the first member, the stopper provided on the second member, and pivotable between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein in the locked position, when the barrier portion rotates along a rotational direction to the position of the stopper, the stopper engages with the barrier portion to prevent the first member from rotating in the rotational direction relative to the second member.
