Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE The present disclosure relates to baby products, and more particularly to canopy adjustment mechanisms and baby carriers. [Background technology]

[0002] Baby carriers, such as strollers, baby cradles, baby swings, and baby playards, are often combined with canopies, which provide some degree of shielding for children in the carrier's care space and prevent them from being completely exposed to the outside environment. This provides children with a certain degree of psychological safety. As a result, most baby carriers on the market are equipped with canopies. However, existing canopy designs require the canopy to be fixed to the carrier, preventing users from flexibly changing its position. The canopy can only be set in either a fully closed or fully open position, limiting its flexibility in adapting to users' habits and needs or to accommodate children of different heights.

[0036] Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like elements, and in which:

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. A baby carrier 200 according to the present invention includes a frame 130 and a canopy adjustment mechanism 100 disposed on the frame 130. The frame 130 includes front legs 131, rear legs 132, and a handle 133. The baby carrier 200 can be a stroller, a baby cradle, a baby swing, a baby playard, or the like. The height of the canopy 10 can be adjusted via the canopy adjustment mechanism 100. For example, in Figure 1, the canopy 10 is at a first height, and in Figure 2, the canopy 10 is at a second height. The height of the canopy 10 can be changed to accommodate children of different heights, thus allowing the installation position of the canopy to be flexibly changed to suit the needs of the user. A detailed description of the canopy adjustment mechanism 100 follows.

[0038] See Figures 3 to 5. The present invention provides a canopy adjustment mechanism 100 including a canopy 10, a locking mechanism, and a locking receiver mechanism. The canopy 10 is provided with a locking receiver mechanism, which can be locked at different positions to adjust the height of the canopy 10. That is, when the locking mechanism is locked at a first position of the locking receiver mechanism, the canopy 10 is at a first height. When the locking mechanism is locked at a second position of the locking receiver mechanism, the canopy 10 is at a second height. The canopy adjustment mechanism 100 further includes a fixed base 12 that can be provided on the baby carrier 200. The canopy 10 includes an insert base 13, a first support 14, and a second support 15. The insert base 13 is connected to the fixed base 12, and the first support 14 and the second support 15 are each pivotally connected to the insert base 13. More specifically, in this embodiment, the first support 14 and the second support 15 are each rotatably and pivotally connected to the insert base 13 via a pivot portion 16 .

[0039] 3 to 10 show a canopy adjustment mechanism 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The insertion base 13 is slidably movable within the fixed base 12, and a locking mechanism is provided on the insertion base 13. The locking mechanism locks at different positions of the locking mechanism, thereby achieving height adjustment of the canopy 10 relative to the frame 130. More specifically, the locking mechanism includes a locking portion 11, and the insertion base 13 is provided with at least two locking portions 11 along the axial direction. The locking mechanism includes a locking member 30 that can be operated to engage with the locking portion 11. When the locking member 30 is operated to disengage from one of the locking portions 11 (i.e., when the locking member 30 is released from one of the locking portions 11), the canopy 10 can be moved by operating the locking member 30 to engage with the other locking portion 11. Moreover, the canopy adjustment mechanism 100 further includes a drive unit 50, and the engagement between the locking member 30 and the locking unit 11 is performed by the action of the drive unit 50. It should be noted that the drive unit 50 may be an elastic structure such as a spring, but is not limited thereto. By using the locking member 30 to engage with the locking units 11 located at different axial positions of the insertion base 13, the height of the canopy 10 can be changed accordingly. The canopy adjustment mechanism according to the present invention is simple in structure and easy to operate.

[0040] See FIG. 3. The fixed base 12 has a first through groove 124 (as shown in FIG. 7), and the locking member 30 has a second through groove 31 (as shown in FIG. 10). The insertion base 13 slides through the second through groove 31 and the first through groove 124 in sequence, but is not limited to this. See FIG. 5. One end of the driver 50 is connected to the locking member 30, and the other end of the driver 50 is connected to the fixed base 12. The insertion base 13 has locking portions 11 along the axial direction (the direction indicated by K1 in FIG. 5), and the driver 50 constantly moves the locking member 30 toward the locking portions 11 to engage with one of the locking portions 11. When the locking member 30 is operated to disengage from one of the locking portions 11, the insertion base 13 can be operated to move within the first through groove 124, so that the locking member 30 engages with another locking portion 11. The drive unit 50 may be, but is not limited to, a spring. In this embodiment, two locking units 11 are provided, but the number is not limited thereto. Of course, more locking units 11 can be provided as needed. Meanwhile, the engagement between the locking member 30 and the locking unit 11 can be achieved by employing a mating connection between two components having convex and concave shapes. For example, a bump and groove mating connection can be used. The insert base 13 can move up and down in the second through-groove 31 and the first through-groove 124, and the locking member 30 is used to engage with one of the locking units 11, thereby fixing the insert base 13 in a specific position. By operating the locking member 30 to overcome the elastic force of the drive unit 50, the locking member 30 can be released from engagement with the locking unit 11. The insertion base 13 can then be fixed in another position by pulling the insertion base 13 up or down so that the locking member 30 engages with another of the locking portions 11, thereby achieving height adjustment of the canopy 10 at different positions. More specifically, the insertion base 13 includes a connecting base 134 and a sliding portion 135 extending along the connecting base 134. The sliding portion 135 slides sequentially through the second through groove 31 and the first through groove 124, and has the locking portion 11 along its axial direction.

[0041] See FIG. 10 . The fixed base 12 includes a fixed base body 121 and a cover 123 connected to the fixed base body 121. The fixed base body 121 has a receiving space 125 at its upper portion, and the locking member 30 and the cover 123 are sequentially attached to the receiving space 125. More specifically, the fixed base body 121 has two lugs 122 at its upper portion, and the two lugs 122 and the fixed base body 121 surround the receiving space 125. Furthermore, the fixed base body 121 and the cover 123 each have a corresponding first through-groove 124. In this embodiment, the fixed base 12 is connected to a frame 130. The locking member 30 is disposed between the fixed base body 121 and the cover 123. The insertion base 13 can sequentially pass through the first through-groove 124 of the cover 123, the second through-groove 31 of the locking member 30, and the first through-groove 124 of the fixed base body 121. Furthermore, the lug 122 has a first restraining portion 1221 and a second restraining portion 1223 that limit the movement distance of the locking member 30 to ensure that the locking member 30 does not damage the driving unit 50 or easily leave the receiving space 125. Furthermore, the width of the central portion 38 of the locking member 30 is greater than the widths of its both ends 37. The locking member 30 is disposed between the first restraining portion 1221 and the second restraining portion 1223. One end of the locking member 30 extends from the first restraining portion 1221 and is connected to the driving unit 50, and the other end of the locking member 30 extends from the second restraining portion to form the operating portion 32. When the operating part 32 is actuated, it drives the locking member 30 to overcome the elastic force of the driving part 50, thereby releasing the locking member 30 from the lock part 11. Because the operating part 32 is designed to extend outside the receiving space 125, the operating part 32 is easy to operate, and therefore, the release of the locking member 30 from the lock part 11 can be easily achieved.

[0042] 11-15 illustrate a second embodiment of the present disclosure. See FIG. 11. The first support 14 and / or the second support 15 are provided with a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism, which locks at different positions, allows the length of the first support 14 and / or the second support 15 to be changed accordingly, thereby achieving height adjustment of the canopy 10 relative to the frame 130. More specifically, the first support 14 and the second support 15 each include a fixed portion 141 and a canopy bar 143 slidably connected to the fixed portion 141. That is, the height adjustment of the canopy 10 can be achieved by adjusting the locking mechanism at different positions of the first support 14, thereby achieving height adjustment of the first support 14 at different positions, and also by adjusting the locking mechanism at different positions of the second support 15, thereby achieving height adjustment of the second support 15 at different positions. It is certain that height adjustment can be achieved by using both the first support 14 and the second support 15 simultaneously. In this embodiment, the height adjustment of the first support 14 is taken as an example for illustrative purposes. The height adjustment of the second support 15 can be achieved by adopting a structure similar to that of the first support 14, which will not be described in detail here.

[0043] For specific details, please refer to FIG. 13 . The fixed portion 141 is provided with a lock receiving mechanism. The locking mechanism may be a separate element or may be provided on the canopy bar 143. It is certain that one of the fixed portion 141 and the canopy bar 143 is provided with a locking mechanism, and the other is provided with a lock receiving mechanism. This embodiment specifically describes a situation in which the fixed portion 141 is provided with a lock receiving mechanism and the locking mechanism is a separate element. Other situations will certainly become clear with reference to this embodiment. Specifically, the first support 14 includes a fixed portion 141 connected to the insertion base 13 and a canopy bar 143 slidably connected to the fixed portion 141. It can be seen that the fixed portion 141 and the canopy bar 143 slide relative to each other, and height adjustment of the first support 14 at different positions is achieved by engaging the locking portion 141 with the locking member 30 to fix the fixed portion 141 and the canopy bar 143 at different positions. See Figures 13 to 15. The canopy bar 143 has an insertion hole 1431, and each fixed portion 141 has an elongated groove 1411 that matches the insertion hole 1431. The lock receiving mechanism includes a lock portion 11, and the drive portion 50 is configured to protrude from two sides of the elongated groove 1411, with the lock portion 11 being disposed within the elongated groove 1411. The lock mechanism includes a locking member (not shown). The lock portion 11 is disposed along the length of the elongated groove 1411 (the direction indicated by K2 in Figure 13). The locking member is configured to pass through the lock portion 11 and the insertion hole 1431. The locking member is a separate element and may be, but is not limited to, a pin, a rivet, or the like. In other embodiments, the locking member protrudes from the canopy bar 143 and is integrally formed with the canopy bar 143, but the above-mentioned effect can still be achieved. The canopy adjustment mechanism 100 further comprises a drive unit 50, and engagement between the locking member 30 and one lock unit 11 is achieved by the action of the drive unit 50. It should be noted that the drive unit 50 may be, but is not limited to, an elastic structure.With the aid of the driver 50, engagement between the locking portions 11 and the locking members is achieved, thereby fixing the fixed part 141 and the canopy bar 143 relative to each other. The canopy bar 143 is operable to move, driving the locking members to disengage from one of the locking portions 11, so that the locking member can move to another position within the elongated groove 1411 and engage with another locking portion 11. The driver 50 is configured to protrude from the elongated groove 1411, so that the width of the elongated groove 1411 decreases at a certain point to form the locking portion 11 within the elongated groove 1411. Furthermore, the fixed part 141 has arc-shaped grooves 1412 arranged near two sides of the elongated groove 1411, each of which protrudes toward the elongated groove 1411. The driver 50 is arranged between the arc-shaped grooves 1412 and the elongated groove 1411. The arc-shaped groove 1412 protrudes toward the elongated groove 1411, thereby further improving the resilience of the drive unit 50. The arc-shaped groove 1412 has a first curved edge 1413 and a second curved edge 1414. Both the first curved edge 1413 and the second curved edge 1414 protrude toward the elongated groove 1411, thereby improving the cushioning performance of the drive unit 50 and achieving smooth cushioning. This also extends the service life of the drive unit 50. During use, when an external force pulls the canopy bar 143 outward, the locking member 30 moves with the canopy bar 143, overcoming the cushioning resilience of the drive unit 50 between the elongated groove 1411 and the arc-shaped groove 1412. As a result, the locking member 30 disengages from one side of the locking member 11 and moves to the other side of the locking member 11 to engage, thereby adjusting the height of the canopy bar 143.

[0044] FIGS. 16-19 illustrate a third embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the first support 14 is taken as an example to describe its height adjustment. The second support 15 can adopt a structure similar to that of the first support 14 to achieve its height adjustment, but this will not be described in detail here. See FIGS. 18-19. The fixed portion 141 has a slide groove 1415 that allows the canopy bar 143 to slide therein. The canopy bar 143 has a locking portion 11 along the axial direction (the direction indicated by K3 in FIG. 18). The drive portion 50 is disposed between the locking member 30 and the fixed portion 141, and the locking member 30 can be operated to lock or unlock the locking portion 11. More specifically, the fixed portion 141 has a receiving hole 1416, and the first end 33 of the locking member 30 is inserted into the receiving hole 1416 to engage with the locking portion 11. The second end 34 of the locking member 30 is connected to a drive unit 50, which has one end connected to the fixed portion 141. When the locking member 30 is operated to disengage from one of the locking portions 11, the canopy bar 143 can be operated to move the locking member 30 so that it engages with the other locking portion 11. In this embodiment, two locking portions 11 are provided, but the number is not limited thereto. The first end 33 of the locking member 30 is provided with a locking pin 36, and a bump portion 35 is provided between the first end 33 and the second end 34. The locking pin 36 is inserted into a receiving hole 1416 to engage with the locking portion 11. The fixed portion 141 has a mounting groove 1417. The locking member 30 is disposed in the mounting groove 1417 and is pivotally connected to the fixed portion 141 at the bump portion 35, with one end of the bump portion 35 adjacent to the fixed portion 141 to form a pivot point. Given the bump 35 on the locking member 30 adjacent the fixed portion 141, along with the arrangement of the first end 33 and the second end 34, the locking member 30 can move in a see-saw manner. As a result, it is easy to manipulate the second end 34 of the locking member 30, thereby disengaging the locking pin 36 from the locking portion 11.The canopy bar 143 has a restraining groove 1433, and the fixed part 141 has a restraining pin 1418 that cooperates with the restraining groove 1433 to limit the movement distance of the canopy bar 143, thereby preventing the canopy bar 143 from leaving the slide groove 1415. During use, when an external force pushes the second end 34 of the locking member 30 to overcome the elastic force of the drive part 50, the locking member 30 can be released from one of the lock parts 11. After release, the canopy bar 143 is operated to move until the locking member 30 engages with the other one of the lock parts 11, thereby achieving height adjustment of the canopy bar 143.
