Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a tether assembly, a child car seat and its support structure. [Background technology]
[0002] A child car seat is a seat designed specifically for children, and is assembled in a vehicle so that a child can sit in the child car seat, and the child is restrained in the child car seat to protect the child's safety.
[0003] Existing child car seats typically include a base and a seat attached to the base, with the ISOFIX interface directly attached to one side of the base and the top tether directly fixed to the back of the seat, and the top tether of the child car seat and the ISOFIX interface connected to corresponding installation locations inside the vehicle so that the child car seat can be secured. When a child car seat is installed in a car seat in the forward direction, the seat is attached to the base in the forward direction, and the top tether and the ISOFIX interface are located on the same side, closer to the car seat. The position where the top tether of the seat is installed is not in contact with the car seat but is spaced apart, which means that the distance between the top tether and the corresponding installation location on the top of the car seat is far and the length of the top tether must be long, resulting in high material costs. When a child car seat is installed in the reverse direction, the seat is installed in the reverse direction to the base, and the installation direction of the base is the same as when the child car seat is installed in the forward direction. However, since the top tether is installed on the back of the seat, it is located on one side away from the car seat. However, when the base is located on the other side closer to the car seat and the top tether is to be attached to the upper attachment point of the car seat, the top tether needs to be moved from the back of the seat to the front of the seat to attach to the upper attachment point of the car seat. However, the movement path of the top tether can interfere with the child car seat passenger, affecting the riding comfort and comfort of the child car seat passenger and causing them to cry. Furthermore, the distance between the top tether and the corresponding upper attachment point of the car seat is far, and the length of the top tether needs to be increased to attach to the car seat.
[0004] The ISOFIX interfaces are fixed on both sides of the base, and the Top Tether interface is fixed on the top of the car seat. The three-point fixation securely fastens the car seat to the car seat, preventing it from flipping over in the event of an impact.
[0005] Because child car seats require many interfaces to be fixed and the fixing operation is complicated, the interfaces may not be fixed in position while the child car seat is in use. This is easily unnoticed by the child car seat installer, and the child car seat's protective function may be lost. Therefore, a child car seat that can indicate whether all of the interfaces are fixed in position is needed.
[0006] When a child car seat is installed in the forward direction, the seat is attached to the base in the forward direction, and the Top Tether and ISOFIX interface are located on the same side, closer to the car seat. The Top Tether on the seat is not directly in contact with the car seat, but is spaced apart. This means the distance between the Top Tether and the corresponding upper mounting point on the car seat is far, necessitating a longer Top Tether length and increased material costs. When a child car seat is installed in the reverse direction, the seat is attached to the base in the reverse direction. The base mounting direction is the same as when the child car seat is installed in the forward direction. The Top Tether is located on the back of the seat, so it is positioned on one side away from the car seat. However, if the base is positioned on the other side closer to the car seat and the Top Tether is attached to the upper mounting point on the car seat, the Top Tether must be moved from the back of the seat to the front of the seat to attach to the upper mounting point on the car seat. However, the Top Tether's movement path interferes with the child car seat passenger, affecting their riding comfort and safety. Therefore, there is a need for a child car seat that allows for easy Top Tether connection without interfering with the child inside.
[0007] After the top tether is secured in place, it must be pulled to ensure a secure connection to the rest of the child car seat. However, conventional methods for adjusting the length of the top tether only allow adjustment in one direction, making it difficult to apply sufficient tension due to space constraints in different types of vehicles. Therefore, there is a need for a tether assembly that allows the top tether to be conveniently tensioned in various ways, and a child car seat having such a tether assembly.
[0008] When a child car seat is subjected to an impact, a large separation impact force is applied between the base and the seat, so a child car seat that can fully demonstrate the adhesive strength between the base and the seat is required.

[0132] In order to further explain the principle and structure of the present invention, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, however, the embodiments are used for illustration and description only, and do not limit the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
[0133] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "the," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. The term "and / or," as used herein, will also be understood to refer to and include any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0134] Below is a more detailed description of various concepts and embodiments of a child car seat that allows the seat to be rotated between rearward, sideways, and forward positions for ease of use. It should be noted that the various concepts described above and discussed in more detail below can be implemented in a variety of ways. Examples of specific embodiments and applications are primarily for illustrative purposes to enable those skilled in the art to implement embodiments and alternatives that will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
[0135] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a child car seat according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a child car seat according to a first embodiment of the present invention, with a portion of the child car seat removed to show its internal structure.
[0136] The child car seat 1 includes a base 10, a seat 20, a top lever 30, a tether assembly 40, and an alarm device 50. The base 10 is provided with a protruding anchor portion 110. The seat 20 is connected to the base 10. The top lever 30 is fixed to the rear of the base 10. The tether assembly 40 includes a top tether 410 and a tether fixing portion 450. The top tether 410 is connected to the top lever. The alarm device 50 issues an alarm based on whether the top tether 410 and the anchor portion 110 are fixed in place. The alarm in this embodiment can be any means capable of presenting or notifying the installer of the child car seat 1. For example, the alarm device 50 can issue an alarm using at least one of sound and light. However, the alarm device 50 can also issue an alarm using any other method.
[0137] Typically, when it detects that the top tether 410 is pulled, it determines that the top tether 410 is fixed in place. Optionally, the warning device 50 issues a warning whether the top tether 410 is fixed to a corresponding interface of the vehicle.
[0138] In one embodiment, an opening 330 is provided in the upper part of the top lever 30. The top tether 410 may pass through the opening 330 and be partially provided inside the top lever 30.
[0139] The anchor portion 110 may be an ISOFIX type connector (a connector that can be fixed to an ISOFIX interface) and includes two anchor arms 111. The tether assembly 40 may be a Top Tether type connector (a connector that can be fixed to a Top Tether interface).
[0140] The tether fixing portion 450 may be a hook (also called a hook-shaped anchor) that can be fixedly or slidably provided at the distal end of the top tether 410 .
[0141] One end of the tether fixing part 450 may be connected to the top tether 410, and the other end of the tether fixing part 450 may be connected to a corresponding interface of the vehicle.
[0142] The seat 20 is rotatably disposed on the base 10 and can rotate relative to the base 10 along an axis substantially perpendicular to the upper surface of the base 10 within an angular range, such as 0° to 180°, 0° to 270°, or 0° to 180° to 360°. The angular range may be different. The reference for the above rotation is that the position shown in FIG. 1 is considered to be 0°.
[0143] The lower and upper surfaces of the base 10 may be angled so that the seat 20 tilts forward.
[0144] The top lever 30 includes a vertical cue 310 and one rail 320a, the vertical cues 310 are erected symmetrically (set almost vertically) at the rear of the base 10, one rail 320a is connected to the top of the vertical cue 310, one opening 330 is provided at the top end of each vertical cue 310, and a part of the top tether (i.e., both ends of one top tether) is provided inside the top lever 30 through the opening of the vertical cue 310. The vertical cue 310 and the rail 320a may be made of different materials; for example, the vertical cue 310 is made of metal, while the rail 320a is made of plastic.
[0145] The location of the opening 330 may be at the highest position of the vertical cue 310, or may be located on the rail 320a, or may be at the top of the vertical cue 310 but not at the highest position, which can be selected according to the location requirements of the top tether 410.
[0146] Referring to FIG. 2 , the child car seat 1 further includes a driving member 60. The driving member 60 includes a trigger member 620 and a connecting member 610. Optionally, the driving member 60 includes an interlocking member 630 connecting the trigger member 620 and the connecting member 610. The interlocking member 630 may be, for example, but not limited to, a steel wire. The trigger member 620 may be provided on one side of the base 10, for example, at a position where the vertical cue 310 extends downward. For example, trigger members 620 are provided on both sides of the base 10. The connecting member 610 connects to the top tether 410 in the vertical cue 310 and enters an end of the vertical cue 310. The connecting member 610 may be positioned so as to move vertically a certain distance within the vertical cue 310. The connecting member 610 is movably provided within the vertical cue 310. In one embodiment, the connecting member 610 has a fixed member (e.g., a lever member) and a movable member. The movable part is fixed to the end of the top tether 410, and a longitudinal through-hole is formed. The fixed part passes through the longitudinal through-hole and is arranged horizontally on the vertical cue 310. Because the longitudinal through-hole has a larger length than the fixed part, the movable part can move a certain distance vertically relative to the fixed part. However, the position of the connecting part 610 may be limited in other ways.
[0147] 2 and 3, the alarm device 530 includes a main body 510, a plurality of switches 520, and an alarm 530. The plurality of switches 520 are electrically connected to the main body 510 and provide signals to the main body 510. The main body 510 determines whether to issue an alarm based on the signals, and the alarm 530 issues the alarm if the main body 510 determines to issue an alarm. A main body portion 510 may be provided on the base 10 .
[0148] The anchor arm 111 is connected to one end of the trigger portion 620a, which is slidable relative to the base 10. When the anchor arm 111 engages with a corresponding interface on the vehicle, the trigger portion 620a is moved to trigger the corresponding switch 520. That is, when the anchor arm 111 (ISOFIX joint) engages with a corresponding interface on the vehicle (ISOFIX anchor part), the trigger portion 620a is moved, and the trigger portion 620a presses and closes the corresponding switch 520. Furthermore, the base 10 is provided with a long groove along which the trigger portion 620a slides, and the other end of the trigger portion 620a extends from the long groove to act on the switch 520. The long groove allows the trigger portion 620a to slide in the sliding direction when an external force is applied to the trigger portion 620a. Furthermore, the switch 520 includes a main body and an elastic sheet, and the elastic sheet is brought into contact with the main body as the trigger portion 620a moves to trigger the switch 520, and the switch 520 is electrically connected to the alarm device 50.
[0149] Trigger portion 620, 620a is limited to a certain range of movement (e.g., 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm), and this movement can trigger switch 520. Trigger portion 620 includes an elastically recoverable member, which is configured to apply a force that prevents trigger portion 620 from triggering switch 520. In other words, when no tension is applied to top tether 410, the elastically recoverable member of the corresponding trigger portion 620 is configured to restore trigger portion 620 to its initial state.
[0150] The trigger units 620, 620a can trigger the corresponding switches 520 by physically contacting them in response to fixing the top tether 410 or the anchor unit 110 (specifically, the anchor arm 111) in place. The main unit 510 may be equipped with a power supply device, such as a battery, and has a calculation function or a logic decision function. When the different switches 520 all provide signals to the main unit 510, the main unit 510 can process these signals and finally output an instruction to the alarm 530 as to whether to alarm. The alarm 530 may include one sound alarm device 531 and one LED light warning device 532. The sound alarm device 531 can emit a prompt sound according to the instruction of the main unit 510. The LED light warning device 532 may have LED lights corresponding to the number of switches 520 and may be illuminated to indicate, for example, which switches 520 have not been triggered (indicating that either the top tether 410 or the anchor arm 111 is not tensioned or secured in place). The LED light warning device 532 may be located on the front of the base 10 (see FIG. 26 ). Optionally, the LED light warning device 532 may have three LED lights arranged side by side, where one LED light is associated with the switch 520 of the top tether 410 and two LED lights are associated with the switches 520 of the two anchor arms 111 of the anchor portion 110, respectively. Optionally, the LEDs may be replaced with other illuminating devices. The number of LED lights may be changed as needed, for example, four or more LED lights may be provided. The main purpose of the LED lights is to warn that the tether assembly 40 or anchor 110 is not attached. The LED light warning device 532 may be applied to each embodiment of the present application.
[0151] The alarm device may be configured to sound an alarm when the top tether 410 is pulled and the anchor part 110 is not fixed in a predetermined position, or when the top tether 410 is not pulled and the anchor part 110 is fixed in a predetermined position, and not to sound an alarm when the top tether 410 is pulled and the anchor part 110 is fixed in a predetermined position, or when the top tether 410 is not pulled and the anchor part 110 is not fixed in a predetermined position.
[0152] In one embodiment, four switches are associated with the two ends of the top tether 410 and the two anchor arms 111 of the anchor portion 110. In this case, if any one of the four switches is triggered, the alarm device 50 issues an alarm, and if all the switches are triggered, the alarm device 50 does not issue an alarm.
[0153] In other words, the alarm device 50 does not sound an alarm when none of the two top tethers 410 and two anchor arms 111 are fixed (or pulled), the alarm device 50 sounds an alarm when at least one of the two top tethers 410 and two anchor arms 111 is fixed (or pulled) (i.e., not all are fixed or pulled), and the alarm device 50 does not sound an alarm when none of the two top tethers 410 and two anchor arms 111 are fixed (or pulled).
[0154] At this time, the alarm may be the alarm device 50 emitting a sound and / or the LED light warning device emitting a light, and no alarm may be the alarm device 50 not emitting a sound and / or the LED light warning device not emitting a light.
[0155] In other embodiments, the alarm device 50 has three switches, each associated with one of the two ends of the top tether 410 and one of the two anchor arms 111 of the anchor portion 110, or each associated with one of the two ends of the top tether 410 and one of the two anchor arms 111 of the anchor portion 110.
[0156] In another embodiment, the alarm device 50 has two switches, each associated with one of the two ends of the top tether 410 and one of the two anchor arms 111 of the anchor portion 110 .
[0157] Optionally, the child car seat 1 has a safe operating state, a non-operating state, and a malfunctioning state, in which the safe operating state has the top tether 410 tensioned and the anchor part 110 fixed in a predetermined position, the non-operating state has the top tether 410 not tensioned and the anchor part 110 not fixed in a predetermined position, and the malfunctioning state is a state other than the non-operating state and the operating state. In this case, the alarm device 50 is configured to issue an alarm when the child car seat 1 is in the malfunctioning state, and not to issue an alarm when the child car seat 1 is in the safe operating state or the non-operating state.
[0158] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a child car seat according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a child car seat according to a second embodiment of the present invention, with part of the child car seat removed to show its internal structure.
[0159] The following mainly describes the differences between the second embodiment and the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the top lever 30 includes two vertical cues 310 and one rail 320a. The two vertical cues 310 are erected symmetrically on the rear of the base 10, and the one rail 320a is connected to the top ends of the two vertical cues 310. An opening 330 is provided in the center of the upper surface of the rail 320a, and a storage section 340 is provided in the center of the lower surface of the rail 320a.
[0160] The alarm device 50 has two or three switches 520, where one switch 520 is provided in the housing portion 340, and one end (one end) of the top tether 410 is fixed to the housing portion 340.
[0161] As shown in Fig. 6, one switch 520 is provided on one side of the top tether 410, allowing the top tether 410 to be extended bypassing the switch 520. When the top tether 410 is pulled (e.g., to secure the tether fixing portion 450 of the tether assembly 40 to a corresponding structure), pressure is applied to the one switch 520 to trigger the switch 520, and the switch provides a signal to the main body 510, indicating that the top tether 410 is pulled. The switch 520 may be connected to the main body 510 of the alarm device 50 by a signal line, which may pass through the internal space of the top lever 30. Optionally, the switch 520 may be wirelessly connected to the main body 510 of the alarm device 50, thereby transmitting a signal.
[0162] The child car seat 1 further includes two trigger portions 620. The anchor portion 110 includes two anchor arms 111, and the two trigger portions 620 trigger the associated corresponding switches 520 (i.e., associated with the switches of the two anchor arms 111) when the two anchor arms 111 are fixed in place. In this embodiment, the anchor portion 110 and the associated switches 520 and trigger portion 620 are substantially the same as those in the first embodiment.
[0163] The alarm device 50 does not issue an alarm when the top tether 410 is not pulled and none of the two anchor arms 111 is fixed in a predetermined position, issues an alarm when the top tether 410 is pulled and any one of the two anchor arms 111 is not fixed in a predetermined position, and does not issue an alarm when the top tether 410 is pulled and none of the two anchor arms 111 is fixed in a predetermined position, or issues an alarm when the top tether 410 is not pulled and any one of the two anchor arms 111 is fixed in a predetermined position, and does not issue an alarm when the top tether 410 is pulled and none of the two anchor arms 111 is fixed in a predetermined position.
[0164] FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a child car seat according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a child car seat according to a third embodiment of the present invention, with part of the child car seat removed to show its internal structure.
[0165] The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the number and position of the top tethers 410. In the third embodiment, the child car seat 1 has three trigger portions 620, which trigger three associated switches 520, and the corresponding switches 520 provide signals to the main body portion 510. Specifically, one end of the top tether 410 is connected to one trigger portion 620, and two anchor arms 111 are connected to the two trigger portions 620, respectively.
[0166] The top lever 30 includes one vertical cue 310 and a storage portion 340. The vertical cue 310 stands upright at the center of the rear of the base 10, and the storage portion 340 is provided laterally at the top end of the vertical cue 310. An opening 330 is provided in the center of the upper surface of the storage portion 340. The one end of the top tether 410 is located in the storage portion 340.
[0167] As shown in FIG. 8 , one trigger 620 is mounted on the base 10 and is limited to a certain range of movement. Specifically, a position limiting portion (e.g., a through-hole) is provided on the trigger 620, so that a position limiting component (e.g., a pin or protrusion) fixed to the base 10 passes through the position limiting portion. Because the vertical length of the position limiting portion is greater than that of the position limiting component, the trigger 620 having the position limiting portion can move a certain distance in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the position limiting component achieves its position limiting function by acting on the edge of the position limiting portion. When the top tether 410 is pulled, the trigger 620 physically contacts and triggers one switch 520, which then provides a signal to the main body 510.
[0168] The lateral length of the storage portion 340 is greater than the lateral length of the vertical cue 310. Optionally, the lateral length of the storage portion 340 is three, four, or five times greater than the lateral length of the vertical cue 310. In this way, the storage portion 340 effectively abuts against the vehicle seat back, further stabilizing the child car seat 1. The storage portion 340 may have a certain curvature in the lateral direction (left and right in FIG. 8 ).
[0169] The top tether 410 has a stopper at one end in the receiving portion 340. The stopper size is such that it cannot pass through the opening 330.
[0170] The internal space of the receiving portion 340 allows one end of the top tether 410 to move a certain distance in the vertical direction. That is, the receiving portion 340 has a certain height in the vertical direction. In this manner, when the top tether 410 is pulled, the one end of the top tether 410 moves vertically, thereby operating the trigger portion 620 via the interlocking part 630 (e.g., a steel wire or cable), and the trigger portion 620 triggers the corresponding switch 520. The trigger portion 620 connected to the top tether 410 may be formed as a sheet body.
[0171] The alarm device 50 does not issue an alarm when the top tether 410 is not pulled and none of the two anchor arms 111 is fixed in a predetermined position, issues an alarm when the top tether 410 is pulled and any one of the two anchor arms 111 is not fixed in a predetermined position, and does not issue an alarm when the top tether 410 is pulled and none of the two anchor arms 111 is fixed in a predetermined position, or issues an alarm when the top tether 410 is not pulled and any one of the two anchor arms 111 is fixed in a predetermined position, and does not issue an alarm when the top tether 410 is pulled and none of the two anchor arms 111 is fixed in a predetermined position.

[0173] In this embodiment, the child car seat 1 includes a base 10, a seat 20, a top lever 30, a tether assembly 40, and a warning device 50. The base 10 is provided with two anchor arms 111 that protrude rearward, the seat 20 is connected to the base 10, the top lever 30 includes a lever part 350, the lever part 350 is provided at the rear of the base, the tether assembly 40 includes a top tether 410, and one end of the top tether 410 is attached to the upper rear side of the lever part 350 (see FIG. 9). The top tether 410 may be fixed to the top lever 350 (left side of the top lever 350), extend to pass through the underside, front side, and top side of the lever part 350 (i.e., wrap around nearly three-quarters of the way), and further extend away from the top part. The alarm device 50 has three switches 520 and three trigger portions 620, and if any one of the three switches 520 is not triggered, the alarm device 50 issues an alarm. The three trigger portions 620 may be provided within the top lever 350. The trigger portions 620 protrude downward from the underside of the top part of the lever part 350 to contact the top tether 410. When the top tether 410 is pulled, the top tether 410 pushes one trigger portion 620 upward, triggering one switch 520. Furthermore, when the two anchor arms 111 are fixed in place, the other two trigger portions 620 trigger the other two switches 520. The lever part 350 may be U-shaped.
[0174] In this embodiment, the configurations of the switches 520 and trigger portions 620 of the two anchor arms 111 are the same as those in the above embodiment. An opening 330 is formed in the lever member 350. The opening 330 is formed in the center of the upper part of the lever member 350. The opening 330 may be configured to face downward. The trigger portion 620 protrudes from the opening 330, and an elastic recovery member, such as a spring, is provided between the trigger portion 620 and the lever member 350 so that the trigger portion 620 protrudes from the opening 330. A mounting groove 352 may be formed in the opening 330. The mounting groove 352 is fixed on both sides to the lever member 350. The upper end of the recovery member may abut the inner surface of the mounting groove 352 and may also abut the trigger portion 620. A vertical groove or a through-hole may be formed in the trigger portion 620. Optionally, two vertical grooves or through-holes are formed symmetrically on both sides of the trigger portion 620. The position limiting part enters the groove or through-hole and limits the vertical movement range of the trigger part 620. When the trigger part 620 protrudes from the opening 330, the elastic sheet of the switch 520 is not driven, and the switch 520 is not triggered. When the trigger part 620 is operated to return to the opening 330, the elastic sheet of the switch 520 is driven, and the switch 520 is triggered.
[0175] Top tether 410 wraps around and comes into contact with trigger portion 620, thereby applying pressure to trigger portion 620 when top tether 410 is pulled. Therefore, the wrapping of top tether 410 is not limited to the above. For example, top tether 410 can wrap around the top of lever component 350, then wrap around the front and bottom of lever component 350, and then wrap around the top of lever component 350 again.
[0176] The top lever 30 further includes a cover plate 360 that fits over the top of the lever part 350 and has an opening through which the top tether 410 protrudes. The cover plate 360 is formed in two halves and is fixed to the top lever 30 with a fastener. The cover plate 360 improves the aesthetic appearance of the top of the top lever 30 and positions the top tether 410 so that it contacts the trigger portion 620. The gap between the cover plate 360 and the lever part 350 is configured to allow the top tether 410 to advance along the opening in the cover plate 360 but to prevent the top tether 410 from sliding onto the cover plate 360.
[0177] 13A and 13B, the top tether 410 includes an adjustable strap 411 and a connecting strap 412. The connecting strap 412 is connected to the lever element 350 and the adjuster 430, and the adjustable strap 411 is connected to the tether fixing part 450 and the adjuster 430. One end of the adjustable strap 411 enters the adjuster 430 and extends from the adjuster 430 to form a free end (not shown). The adjuster 430 can lock and release the adjustable strap 411 (for example, by pressing a button) that passes through it. When the adjuster 430 releases the adjustable strap 411, the length of the adjustable strap 411 can be extended by pulling the adjustable strap 411, and the free end can be pulled to shorten the length of the adjustable strap 411.
[0178] FIG. 16 is a perspective view of a child car seat in a fifth embodiment of the present application, with some parts removed to show the interior of the child car seat, and FIG. 17 is another perspective view of a child car seat in a fifth embodiment of the present application, with some parts removed to show the interior of the child car seat.
[0179] The child car seat in this embodiment includes a base 10, a seat 20, and a tether assembly 40, the seat 20 is connected to the base 10, and the seat 20 includes a backrest 230, a reinforcing tube 231 is formed at the top end of the backrest 230, and spacer rings 2311 are formed on both sides of the reinforcing tube 231, respectively, the tether assembly 40 includes a top tether 410 and a tether fixing portion (not shown), the top tether 410 is connected to both sides of the lower end of the backrest 230, extends upward along the backrest 230 and passes through the spacer rings 2311.
[0180] The top tether 410 can be connected to a flexible part (not shown) of the backrest 230. The top tether 410 is provided on the inside of the backrest 230 (the side facing the child sitting in the child car seat) and extends away from the backrest 230 via a spacer ring 2311. Because the end of the top tether 410 is connected to the flexible part, when stress is applied, the plastic deforms, acting as a buffer and reducing stress on the tether fixing part. In addition, as the top tether 410 extends upward from the lower end of the back, the length of the top tether 410 becomes longer, and when force is applied, the tether itself has a certain degree of stretch, which also acts as a certain buffer.
[0181] Figure 18 is a perspective view of a child car seat in the sixth embodiment of the present application, Figure 19 is a perspective view of some parts of the child car seat in the sixth embodiment of the present application, Figure 20 is a perspective view of some parts of the child car seat in the sixth embodiment of the present application, where some parts have been removed to show the inside of the child car seat, Figure 21 is a plan view of the child car seat in the sixth embodiment of the present application when the top tether is not pulled, Figure 22 is a plan view of the child car seat in the sixth embodiment of the present application when the top tether is pulled, and Figure 23 is another perspective view of some parts of the child car seat in the sixth embodiment of the present application.
[0182] In this embodiment, the child car seat includes a base 10, a seat 20, a top lever 30, a tether assembly 40, and an alarm device 50. The base 10 is provided with an anchor portion 110 that protrudes rearward, the seat 20 is connected to the base 10, the top lever 30 includes a lever part 350 and a storage part 340, the lever part 350 is provided at the rear of the base, the storage part 340 is provided at the top of the lever part, the tether assembly 40 includes a top tether 410 and a tether fixing part 450, the top tether is fitted onto the top of the lever part, and the alarm device 50 can issue an alarm based on whether the top tether is pulled and whether the anchor portion is fixed in place. The lever part 350 may be formed as a U-shaped lever.
[0183] The alarm device 50 includes a main body 510, a plurality of switches 520, and an alarm 530. The main body 510 determines whether to issue an alarm, the plurality of switches 520 are electrically connected to the main body and provide signals to the main body, and the alarm 530 issues an alarm when the main body determines that an alarm should be issued.
[0184] Optionally, top tether 410 is fitted onto the upper part of lever component 350, and housing 340 limits the range of movement of top tether 410 on lever component 350. As shown in FIG. 20 , top tether 410 is divided into two bands at the upper part of lever component 350 to form a ring shape, thereby bypassing lever component 350 and combining into one band at the lower part of lever component 350. One end of top tether 410 is provided in the internal space (mounting groove 352) of housing 340 and further has trigger portion 620. Trigger portion 620 can move vertically a certain distance within mounting groove 352. A longitudinal hole is formed in the center of trigger portion 620, and one end of top tether 410 is fixed to the longitudinal hole, allowing trigger portion 620 to move in response to movement of top tether 410. An elastic recovery element 640 (e.g., a spring) is provided in the housing 340, with both ends connected to the housing 340 and one side of the trigger portion 620, respectively. In this embodiment, the elastic recovery elements 640 are connected to both the left and right sides of the trigger portion 620. Other numbers of elastic recovery elements 640 may also be provided. One switch 520 is further provided in the internal space of the housing 340. The switch 520 may be provided on one side of the vertical movement path of the trigger portion 620, and a portion of a sheet body on the switch 520 may be located on the movement path. When the top tether 410 is pulled (i.e., when the top tether 410 is pulled outward), the trigger portion 620 presses the sheet body on the switch 520, triggering the switch 520 (see FIGS. 21 and 22 ). This switch 520 then provides a signal to the main body. This signal indicates that the tether assembly 40 is fixed in place. The configuration of the other switches among the multiple switches 520 refers to the above-described embodiments. Figure 24 is a side view of some components of a child car seat in the seventh embodiment of the present application, where the tether fixing portion is separated from the top tether, and Figure 25 is an exemplary cross-sectional view of some components of a child car seat in the seventh embodiment of the present application.
[0185] In this embodiment, a through-hole 351 may be formed in the upper portion of the lever component 350 (i.e., openings are formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the lever component 350). One end of a top tether 410 (not shown) passes through the through-hole 351 and is installed in the internal space (mounting groove 352) of the housing 340. The top tether 410 has a trigger portion 620. A switch 520 is also installed in the internal space of the housing 340, and one end of the top tether 410 is connected to the trigger portion 620 (see the sixth embodiment for the connection method). Pulling the top tether 410 (i.e., pulling the top tether 410 from the mounting groove 352 through the through-hole 351) moves the trigger portion 620 upward. The switch 520 is installed at the rear side (left side in FIG. 25 ) of the mounting groove 352, and at least a portion of the sheet body of the switch 520 is located in the upward movement path of the trigger portion 620. When the trigger portion 620 moves upward, it presses the sheet body of the switch 520, triggering the switch 520, which then provides a signal to the main portion 510. The signal indicates that the tether assembly 40 is fixed in place. A flexible part 341 is provided in the accommodation portion 340, and the flexible part 341 is provided inside the through-hole and joined to the upper end of the flexible part 341 to prevent the top tether 410 from directly contacting the inside of the through-hole. In other words, when the top tether 410 moves in the through-hole 351, the top tether 410 contacts the flexible part 341 without directly contacting the lever part 350 (usually made of metal). For the configuration of the other switches among the plurality of switches 520, refer to the above embodiments.
[0186] An elastic recovery component (e.g., a spring) 640 is provided in the housing portion, and the elastic recovery component 640 is provided between the housing portion 340 and the trigger portion 620, thereby applying a force to the trigger portion that prevents the trigger portion 620 from triggering the switch 520 (i.e., restores the trigger portion 620 to its initial state below).
[0187] Other details of this embodiment are almost the same as those of the sixth embodiment. FIG. 26 is a perspective view of the top surface of the base and top lever of the child car seat of the present application, and FIG. 27 is a perspective view of the bottom surface of the seat of the child car seat of the present application.
[0188] The base 10 includes a ring portion 120. The seat 20 includes a ring portion 220. The ring portions 120 and 220 correspond to each other. The base 10 and the seat 20 are connected to each other via a connecting shaft at the center of the ring portions 120 and 220, and the seat 20 can rotate relative to the base 10. The ring portions 120 and 220 of the base 10 and the seat 20 are provided with a base reinforcement part 121 and a seat reinforcement part 221 that lock together to strengthen the connection between the base 10 and the seat 20. When the seat 20 rotates to a specific use angle relative to the base 10, for example, 0° or 180° (corresponding to the forward use position and rearward use position of the seat 20), the base reinforcement part 121 and the seat reinforcement part 221 are joined to each other to achieve a reinforcement function.
[0189] Four base reinforcement parts 121 and four seat reinforcement parts 221 are provided on the ring portion 120 of the base 10 and the ring portion 220 of the seat 20, respectively. The four base reinforcement parts 121 are evenly spaced around the circumference of the ring portion 120 of the base 10. The four seat reinforcement parts 221 can be provided at positions corresponding to the four base reinforcement parts 121. That is, the four seat reinforcement parts 221 are also evenly spaced around the circumference of the ring portion 220 of the seat 20. One base reinforcement part 121 and one seat reinforcement part 221 are provided on one side (rear side) of the ring portions 120, 220 closer to the top lever 30, and the length extending around the circumference of the ring portions 120, 220 is longer than the other three base reinforcement parts 121 and seat reinforcement parts 221. Another base reinforcement element 121 and another sheet reinforcement element 221 are provided on the front side of the ring portion 120, 220, and their circumferential lengths are shorter than those of the rear base reinforcement element 121 and sheet reinforcement element 221, but longer than those of the left and right side base reinforcement elements 121 and sheet reinforcement elements 221. The base reinforcement element 121 and sheet reinforcement element 221 may be, for example, made of iron pieces, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The number of base reinforcement elements 121 and sheet reinforcement elements 221 may be different, for example, five, six, or eight, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The base reinforcement elements 121 and sheet reinforcement elements 221 may be distributed uniformly or non-uniformly along the ring portion 120, 220.
[0190] When the child seat 1 receives an impact, the force of reversing the child seat 1 in the front-rear direction becomes the largest, so the longest base reinforcing part 121 and seat reinforcing part 221 are provided on the rear side to improve the ability to withstand the forward reversing force, and the comparatively long base reinforcing part 212 and seat reinforcing part 221 are provided on the front side to improve the ability to withstand the backward reversing force.
[0191] Figure 28 is a perspective view of the top of another embodiment of the base of the child car seat of the present application, Figure 29 is a perspective view of the top of another embodiment of the base of the child car seat of the present application, with some parts removed, and Figure 30 is a perspective view of the bottom of another embodiment of the seat of the child car seat of the present application.
[0192] The base 10 includes a ring portion 120. The seat 20 includes a ring portion 220. The base 10 and the seat 20 are connected to each other via a connecting shaft located at the center of the ring portions 120 and 220, and the seat 20 can rotate relative to the base 10. The ring portions 220 of the seat 20 are each provided with a reinforcing member 221 that locks with the ring portion 120 of the base 10. In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 221 can be bonded to the ring portion 120 of the base 10 even when the seat 20 and the base 10 form any angle. In other words, when the seat 20 rotates relative to the base 10, the reinforcing member 221 slides circumferentially along the ring portion 120. In this way, the bond between the seat 20 and the base 10 can be strengthened even when the angle of use of the seat 20 is adjusted.
[0193] Various numbers of reinforcing elements 221 can be provided, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, etc. The multiple reinforcing elements 221 can be provided at different positions on the ring portion 220. As shown in FIG. 30, two reinforcing elements 221 are provided at the front and rear of the ring portion 220, respectively. This is based on the force of the child car seat in the event of an impact. Optionally, the multiple reinforcing elements 221 can have the same length and thickness to provide the same degree of reinforcement in different directions, or different lengths and thicknesses to provide different degrees of reinforcement in different directions.
[0194] FIG. 31 is a side view of one embodiment of the child car seat of the present application, and FIG. 32 is a plan view of one embodiment of the child car seat of the present application.
[0195] The child seat 1 includes a base 10, a seat 20 provided on the base 10, and a top lever 30 erected at the rear of the base 10.
[0196] The base 10 may include an anchor portion 110 that protrudes rearward. The anchor portion 110 may be an ISOFIX-type connector (a connector that can be fixed to an ISOFIX interface) and includes two anchor arms 111.
[0197] The child car seat 1 may include a tether assembly 40. Optionally, the tether assembly 40 may also be a separate assembly other than the child car seat 1. The tether assembly 40 may be a Top Tether type connector (a connector that can be fixed to a Top Tether interface).
[0198] The top lever 30 may be fixed to the rear of the base 10. Specifically, the top lever 30 may stand upright approximately vertically at the rear of the base 10. An opening 330 is provided at the top of the top lever 30. In different embodiments, one or two openings 330 may be provided in the top lever 30. A top tether 410 (described in detail below) of the tether assembly 40 is fixed to the child car seat 1 through the opening 330. For example, the top tether 410 enters the top lever 30 through the opening 330 and is fixed thereto.
[0199] In one embodiment, the top lever 30 includes two vertical cues 310 and one fixed portion 320, and openings 330 are provided at the tops of the two vertical cues 310.
[0200] One end of two bands (e.g., a connecting band 412 and an adjustable band 411) of the top tether 410 is fixed to the top lever 30 via two vertical cues 310. One connecting band 412 and two adjustable bands 411 of the top tether 410 are connected to each other via two adjusters 430, and a tether fixing portion 450 is fixedly or movably connected to one adjustable band 411, so that the entire tether assembly 40 is formed into a Y or V shape. One end of the above bands can move a certain distance on the top lever 30.
[0201] One end of two bands (e.g., two connecting bands 412) of the top tether 410 is fixed to the top lever 30 via two vertical cues 310. Two adjusters 430 are fixed to the other ends of the two bands. Both ends of one adjusting band 411 pass through the two adjusters 430 to form two free ends 4111, respectively, and a tether fixing portion 450 is fixedly or movably connected to the adjusting band 411, so that the entire tether assembly 40 is formed into a Y-shape or a V-shape.
[0202] One end of two straps (e.g., two connecting straps 412) of the top tether 410 is fixed to the top lever 30 via two vertical cues 310, respectively. A connecting part 460 is fixed to the other end of the two straps. One end of one adjustable strap 411 is fixed to the connecting part 460. The other end of the adjustable strap 411 passes through one adjuster 430, and the other adjustable strap 411 passes through the other adjuster 430, thereby forming two free ends 4111, and the entire tether assembly 40 is formed into a Y shape or a V shape. The two adjusters 430 can be connected to each other (e.g., via the connecting strap 412).
[0203] In one embodiment, both ends of one strap (e.g., connecting strap 412) of the top tether 410 are fixed to the top lever 30 via two vertical cues 310. The adjustable strap 411 is fixedly or slidably connected to the strap (optionally, other adjustable straps 411, connecting strap 412, and b adjuster 430 are connected), so that the entire tether assembly 40 is formed in a T-shape.
[0204] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 36, the top lever 30 includes two vertical cues 310 and one fixed portion 320.
[0205] Specifically, the top lever 30 includes two vertical cues 310 and a fixed part 320. The two vertical cues 310 are erected symmetrically at the rear of the base 10, the fixed part 320 is connected to the top ends of the two vertical cues 310, and a storage part 340 is provided in the center of the underside of the fixed part 320.
[0206] One end of one of the bands of the top tether 410 (for example, the connecting band 412) may be fixed to the top lever 30. The one end of the band can move a certain distance on the top lever 30.
[0207] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 37, the top lever 30 includes one vertical cue stick 310 and one storage section 340.
[0208] One end of one of the bands (e.g., the connecting band 412) of the top tether 410 may be fixed to the top lever 30. The end of the band can move a certain distance in the receiving portion 340. In the present application, two adjusters 430 can be switched to one bidirectional adjuster 440 (described below). One adjuster 430 can be switched to one bidirectional adjuster 440.
[0209] The vertical cue 310 and the fixed part 320 may be made of different materials, for example, the vertical cue 310 is made of metal and the fixed part 320 is made of plastic.
[0210] The seat 20 is rotatably mounted on the base 10 and can rotate within a certain angular range relative to the base 10 along a position axis perpendicular to the upper surface of the base 10. The lower and upper surfaces of the base 10 form a certain angle, causing the seat 20 to tilt forward.
[0211] FIG. 38 is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the tether assembly of the present application.
[0212] The tether assembly 40 includes at least two adjusters 430, a top tether 410, and a tether fixing portion 450. The top tether 410 is fixed to the child car seat 1 and passes through the at least two adjusters 430 to form free ends 4111, the number of which is the same as the number of the at least two adjusters. The tether fixing portion 450 is connected to the top tether 410 and fixed to the vehicle. Any of the at least two adjusters 430 can lock or release the top tether 410 passing through it.
[0213] In one embodiment, the tether assembly 40 has two adjusters 430. However, the tether assembly 40 may have three or more adjusters 430. 42 , the connecting strap 412 enters the adjuster 430 from one side, then bypasses the fixing portion of the adjuster 430 and extends from the bottom of the adjuster 430. In this manner, the connecting strap 412 is fixed to the adjuster 430. The adjustable strap 411 (e.g., connected to the tether fixing portion 450) enters the adjuster 430 from an opening on the bottom of the adjuster 430, bypasses part of the button 432, passes downward through the button 432, forming a gap between the button 432 and the adjuster case 431, and finally extends from the left side of the adjuster 430 to form a free end 4111. When the button 432 is pressed to the right, the gap between the button 432 and the adjuster case 431 becomes larger, allowing the adjustable strap 411 to move freely relative to the adjuster 430. When button 432 is released, the gap between button 432 and adjuster case 431 becomes smaller (e.g., due to the elasticity of a spring), so that adjustment strap 411 is clamped (locked) by button 432 and adjuster case 431 and cannot move freely relative to adjuster 430.
[0214] FIG. 34 is a plan view of the adjuster of the tether assembly of the present application, and FIG. 35 is a perspective view of the adjuster of the tether assembly of the present application.
[0215] In one embodiment, one end of the adjuster 430 is configured as an adjustment end, which may be configured as, for example, a button.
[0216] In another embodiment, adjuster 430 includes adjuster case 431 and button 432. One side of button 432 has an opening, for example, the opening is above or below button 432. A tether (e.g., adjustable strap 411 below) enters button 432 from the opening, passes through a slit of variable width defined by button 432 and case 431, and extends out from the opening.
[0217] The adjuster 430 may include a restoring mechanism, such as a spring, such that when the button 432 is not pressed, the slit tends to contract, thereby locking the tether passing through the adjuster 430 and preventing it from moving relative to the adjuster 430. When the button 432 is pressed, the slit tends to expand, thereby allowing the tether passing through the adjuster 430 to move relative to the adjuster 430.
[0218] The adjuster 430 can also have other configurations, for example, the tether can enter from one side of the adjuster 430 and extend from the other side. The structure of the adjuster 430 is not limited here, as long as the adjuster allows for adjusting the length of the tether passing through it and has the ability to lock the tether when no adjustment is required.
[0219] The other side of the adjuster 430 is provided with a fixing portion, by which another tether is fixedly connected to the adjuster 430 .
[0220] An opening is formed in the adjuster 430 to expose a marking that indicates whether the adjuster 430 is locked or unlocked, for example, a marking having a different color.
[0221] The tether fixing portion 450 may be a hook (or a hook-shaped anchor part), which is fixedly or slidably provided on the distal end of the top tether 410 .
[0222] The two adjusters 430 of the tether assembly 40 may be arranged in opposite directions, and the two free ends 4111 formed when the top tether 410 passes through the two adjusters 430 may extend in opposite directions. Note that because the top tether 410 is flexible, the direction of the adjuster 430 provided on the top tether 410 may change. The arrangement of the two adjusters 430 in opposite directions means that the two adjusters 430 are arranged in approximately opposite directions when the tether assembly 40 is pulled after the tether assembly 40 secures the child car seat 1 to the vehicle. The arrangement of the two free ends 4111 in opposite directions means that the initial directions of the two free ends 4111 when they extend from the two adjusters 430 are approximately opposite after the tether assembly 40 secures the child car seat 1 to the vehicle, and the two free ends 4111 are, for example, in a hanging position due to gravity. Optionally, the tether assembly 40 has only one adjuster 430 .
[0223] The two adjusters 430 of the tether assembly 40 may be arranged along the same direction, and the two free ends 4111 formed by the top tether 410 passing through the two adjusters 430 extend along the same direction.
[0224] 38, in one embodiment, top tether 410 includes first adjustable strap 411a, second adjustable strap 411b, first adjuster 430a, second adjuster 430b, and connecting strap (also referred to as first connecting strap) 412. First adjustable strap 411a, second adjustable strap 411b, and connecting strap 412 are connected to each other (e.g., directly or via first adjuster 430a and second adjuster 430b) to form top tether 41.
[0225] One end of the connecting strap 412 is fixed to one side of the top lever 30 (for example, the inside of one vertical cue 310), and the other end of the connecting strap 412 is fixed to the first adjuster 430a.
[0226] One end of the first adjustable strap 411a is fixed to the other side of the top lever 30 (e.g., inside the other vertical cue 310), and the other end of the first adjustable strap 411a passes through the second adjuster 430b to form one free end 4111 that extends over the child seat 1.
[0227] One end of the second adjustable strap 411b is fixed to the second adjuster 430b, and the other end of the second adjustable strap 411b passes through the first adjuster 430a to form one free end 4111 that projects away from the child car seat 1.
[0228] One end of the tether fixing part 450 is slidably or fixedly connected to the second adjustable strap 411b, and the other end of the tether fixing part is formed as a hook.
[0229] In this way, the tether assembly 40 can be pulled in two opposite directions, which makes it easier to attach the tether assembly 40 and apply tension, thereby ensuring tension and improving the safety of the tether assembly 40. Furthermore, the length of the tether assembly 40 can be adjusted to a large extent.
[0230] Optionally, in this embodiment, top tether 410 may have only one adjuster 430. Optionally, in this embodiment, top tether 410 has three adjusters 430. Optionally, adjuster 430 is a bidirectional adjuster (described below).
[0231] As shown in FIG. 39, in one embodiment, the top tether 410 has a first adjustable strap 411a, a second adjustable strap 411b, a first adjuster 430a, a second adjuster 430b, a first connecting strap 412a, and a second connecting strap 412b.
[0232] Both ends of the first connecting band 412a are fixed to both sides of the top lever 30, respectively, and for example, are fixed on or inside the two vertical cues 310, respectively.
[0233] One end of the first adjustable strap 411a is slidably or fixedly connected to the first connecting strap 412a, and the other end of the first adjustable strap 411a passes through the first adjuster 430a to form one free end 4111 that extends over the child seat 1.
[0234] Both ends of the second connecting band 412b are fixed to the first adjuster 430a and the second adjuster 430b, respectively.
[0235] One end of the second adjustable strap 411b passes through the second adjuster 430b to form a free end 4111 that extends away from the child seat 1, and a tether fixing portion 450 is fixed to the other end of the second connecting strap 412b.
[0236] In this manner, the tether assembly 40 takes up less space and facilitates installation in relatively narrow vehicle bodies. Optionally, in this embodiment, top tether 410 may have only one adjuster 430. Optionally, in this embodiment, top tether 410 has three adjusters 430. Optionally, one adjuster 430 may be a bidirectional adjuster (described below).
[0237] 40, the tether assembly further includes a connecting part 460, which is used to connect two connecting straps 412 and one adjustable strap 411. The two connecting straps 412 may be fixed to one side of the connecting part 460, and the one adjustable strap 411 may be fixed to the other side of the connecting part 460. The connecting part 460 may be a piece of iron with three elongated holes formed on the top surface.
[0238] Optionally, in this embodiment, top tether 410 may have only one adjuster 430. Optionally, in this embodiment, top tether 410 has three adjusters 430. Optionally, one adjuster 430 may be a bidirectional adjuster (described below).
[0239] FIG. 41 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the tether assembly of the present application.
[0240] The tether assembly 40 has a first adjuster 430a, a second adjuster 430b, and one adjustable strap 411. The first adjuster 430a and the second adjuster 430b are arranged along the same direction. Both ends of the adjustable strap 411 pass through the first adjuster 430a and the second adjuster 430b, respectively, to form two free ends 4111 that protrude in the same direction (away from the child car seat). The first adjuster 430a and the second adjuster 430b pass through a connecting strap 412 and are fixed to both sides of the top lever 30, respectively. A tether fixing portion 450 is slidably connected to the adjustable strap 411.
[0241] In this way, when the child car seat 1 is attached to both the right and left seats of a vehicle, the tether assembly 40 can be adjusted using the adjuster closer to one side, making it convenient to apply force. Adjustment using two adjusters has the same effect. In addition, two adjusters allow the length of the tether assembly 40 to be adjusted over a wider range.
[0242] Optionally, in this embodiment, top tether 410 may have only one adjuster 430. Optionally, in this embodiment, top tether 410 has three adjusters 430. Optionally, one adjuster 430 may be a bidirectional adjuster (described below).
[0243] 43 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a tether assembly 40 of a child car seat according to the present invention. The tether assembly 40 includes a top tether 410, an adjuster 430, and a tether fixing portion 450. The top tether 410 includes an adjustable strap 411 and a connecting strap 412. The adjustable strap 411 passes through the adjuster 430 and projects as a free end 4111. The adjuster 430 has a button. When the button is not pressed, the adjuster 430 locks the adjustable strap 411; when the button is pressed, the adjuster 430 releases the adjustable strap 411. At this time, the length of the adjustable strap 411 can be shortened by pulling the free end 4111, and the length of the adjustable strap 411 can be increased by pulling the adjustable strap 411.
[0244] 44 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a tether assembly 40 of a child car seat of the present application. The tether assembly 40 has two adjusters 430. The two adjusters 430 are arranged in opposite directions. A top tether 410 includes two adjustable straps 411 and one connecting strap 412. The connecting strap 412 is connected between the two adjusters 430. The two adjustable straps 411 pass through the two adjusters 430 to form two free ends 4111 facing in opposite directions, allowing the length of the tether assembly 40 to be adjusted in two opposite directions by pulling the two free ends 4111.
[0245] In one embodiment, the tether anchor 450 is anchored to the end of one of the two adjustable straps 411. The other end of the two adjustable straps 411 is anchored to the top lever 30.
[0246] In another embodiment, the tether anchor 450 is rotatably connected to one of the two adjustable straps 411. The other of the two adjustable straps 411 is fixed to the top lever 30.
[0247] In another embodiment, the tether assembly 40 further includes a bidirectional adjuster 440. The bidirectional adjuster 440 can adjust the length of the tether assembly 40 in two opposite directions. That is, two adjustable straps 411 pass through the bidirectional adjuster 440 from both ends to form two free ends 4111 facing in opposite directions, so that the length of the tether assembly 40 can be adjusted in two opposite directions by pulling the two free ends 4111.
[0248] Figure 45 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a tether assembly for a child car seat of the present application, and Figure 46 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a tether assembly for a child car seat of the present application. The embodiment shown in Figures 45 and 46 is similar to the embodiment shown in Figures 43 and 44, except that a bidirectional adjuster 440 switches between two adjusters 430 and a connecting band 412.
[0249] Figure 47 is a perspective view of the bidirectional adjuster of the child car seat of the present application, Figure 48 is another perspective view of the bidirectional adjuster of the child car seat of the present application, Figure 49 is a cross-sectional view of the bidirectional adjuster of the child car seat of the present application, where the button is not pressed, Figure 50 is a cross-sectional view of the bidirectional adjuster of the child car seat of the present application, where the button is pressed, Figure 51 is a cross-sectional view of the bidirectional adjuster of the child car seat of the present application, Figure 52 is a top view of the bidirectional adjuster of the child car seat of the present application, where the button is not pressed, Figure 53 is a bottom view of the bidirectional adjuster of the child car seat of the present application, where the button is not pressed, Figure 54 is a top view of the bidirectional adjuster of the child car seat of the present application, where the button is pressed, and Figure 55 is a cross-sectional view of the bidirectional adjuster of the child car seat of the present application.
[0250] The bidirectional regulator 440 includes a regulator case 441, two buttons 442, a fixing sheet 443, and two locking members 444. The regulator case 441 has two first openings facing opposite directions. The two buttons 442 are respectively provided in the two first openings and can move along the advancing direction of the regulator case 441. The fixing sheet 443 is fixed to the bottom of the regulator case 441 and forms two second openings. The two locking members 444 are provided inside the regulator case 441 and move together with the two buttons 442. This forms a locked position and a released position, where the two bands (e.g., top tether 410) enter the adjuster case 441 through the two second openings, pass through the gap between the two locking parts 444 and the fixed sheet 443, protrude from the adjuster case 441, and form two free ends extending in opposite directions; further, where, in the locked position, the two locking parts 444 and the fixed sheet 443 clamp the two bands, respectively, and in the released position, the two locking parts 444 and the fixed sheet 443 allow the two bands to move.
[0251] A spring is provided between the two buttons 442 to provide a restoring force to the two buttons 442 against the regulator case 441 . Two tension indicator windows 445 are formed on the top surface of the regulator case 441, which can respectively indicate whether tension is applied to the two bands. Different positions on the top surfaces of the two buttons 442 can be marked with different colors. Thus, when the button 442 is in the locked position, the tension indicator window 445 displays one color (e.g., green) of the top surface of the button 442, and when the button 442 is in the released position, the tension indicator window 445 displays the other color (e.g., red) of the button 442. Optionally, the tension indicator window 445 may be provided at other positions on the regulator case 441, such as the side, bottom, and both ends, and the present application is not limited thereto. The tension indicator window 445 can also use other methods to provide information, such as lines or graphic marks, and the present application is not limited thereto. The tension indicator window 445 can also be formed of a transparent material to allow observation of the interior of the regulator case 441.
[0252] The bidirectional adjuster 440 allows for adjustment of the length of the top tether 410 in different directions.
[0253] As shown in Figure 55, when the top tether 410 passes through the bidirectional adjuster 440, it first enters the adjuster case 441 upward through the opening in the locking part 444, then passes upward inside the fixing sheet 443 and the button 442 (center of Figure 55), then bypasses the fixing sheet 443, extends downward from the outside of the fixing sheet 443 (the two left and right sides of Figure 55), passes through the gap between the fixing sheet 443 and the locking part 444, and finally protrudes out from the adjuster case 441 below the locking part 444.
[0254] In this way, when the top tether 410 is pulled, the top tether 410 is clamped between the locking part 444 and the fixing sheet 443 (when the adjustable strap 411 is pulled, the top tether 410 pulls the fixing sheet 443 outward, and the fixing sheet 443 moves closer to the locking part 444), thereby fixing the position of the top tether 410; when the length of the top tether 410 needs to be adjusted, the button 442 is pressed to move the fixing sheet 443 away from the locking part 444, and the top tether 410 is released and its length can be adjusted.
[0255] When the bidirectional adjuster 440 is used, two top tethers 410 passing through the bidirectional adjuster 440 enter the top lever 30 respectively and are connected to the tether fixing portion 450, thereby realizing a tether assembly 40 whose length can be adjusted along different directions.
[0256] 56 to 58, a child car seat 200 of the present invention includes a seat 201 and a child car seat support structure 100. The child car seat support structure 100 includes a base 1a, a top lever 2, and a top tether 3, an attachment position for attaching the seat 201 is provided in the base 1a, the top lever 2 is fixed to the base 1a and is located on one side of the attachment position, one end of the top tether 3 is fixed to the top lever 2, and the seat 201 is attached to the attachment position. When the seat 201 is attached to the installation position in the forward direction, the top lever 2 is located behind the seat 201, and after the child seat 200 is attached to the car seat, that is, after the base 1a and the top tether 3 are respectively connected to the corresponding positions on the car seat, the top lever 2 is closer to the car seat, and the distance between the top lever 2 and the car seat is shorter than the distance between the seat 201 and the car seat. Therefore, the length of the top tether 3 fixed to the top lever 2 and connected to the corresponding position on the car seat is shorter than the length required to fix the top tether 3 of the seat 201 in the conventional case, and the top tether 3 When the seat 201 is attached to the attachment position in the reverse direction, the attachment position of the base 1a does not change and it is attached in the direction of the seat 201. At this time, the top lever 2 and the top tether 3 are located in front of the seat 201, and the attachment path where the top tether 3 is connected to the corresponding position on the car seat is the same as the attachment path of the top tether 3 when the seat 201 is attached to the attachment position in the forward direction.
