[0049] In the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which is shown, by way of illustration, specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. In this regard, directional terms such as "top," "bottom," "right," "left," "front," and "rear" are used with reference to the orientation of the figures being described. Components of the invention can be positioned in many different orientations. As such, directional terminology is used for purposes of explanation and is in no way limiting. Accordingly, the drawings and descriptions are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive. Also, the term "connect" is intended to mean either an indirect or direct mechanical connection. Thus, when a first device is connected to a second device, the connection may be via a direct mechanical connection or via an indirect mechanical connection via other devices and connections.

[0050] To explain the technical specifications and structural features of the present invention, as well as the objectives and effects achieved, relevant embodiments and figures are described below.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6. Figure 1 is a perspective view of a carrycot 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a partial perspective view of a second connection assembly 22 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 is another perspective view of the carrycot 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figures 4 and 5 are perspective views from different angles of a carrycot structure 1000 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 is a perspective view of a base 200 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the carrycot structure 1000 includes a carrycot 100 and a base 200. The base 200 can be detachably connected to any vehicle seat, such as a car seat, a boat seat, or an aircraft seat. The carrycot 100 can be detachably installed on the base 200. The carrycot 100 includes a carrycot body 10, a mounting bracket 20, a first connection assembly 21, and a second connection assembly 22. The mounting bracket 20 is arranged on the outer surface of the carrycot body 10. The first connection assembly 21 and the second connection assembly 22 can be detachably connected to the first carrier frame and the second carrier frame, respectively. Specifically, the first connection assembly 21 is arranged on the mounting bracket 20 and is for detachably connecting the carrycot 100 to a first carrier frame, such as a stroller frame or a crib frame. The second connection assembly 22 is arranged on the mounting bracket 20 and is for detachably connecting the carrycot 100 to a second carrier frame, such as the base 200. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the first connection assembly can be arranged on the carrycot body.

[0052] As shown in Figure 1, in order to make the overall structure more stable and compact, the mounting bracket 20 covers the bottom portion of the carrycot body 10 and partially covers the lateral portions of the carrycot body 10. Specifically, the upper edges of the mounting bracket 20 are embedded in the lateral portions of the carrycot body 10, and the carrycot body 10 covers the upper edges of the mounting bracket 20. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[0053] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1 , to make the carrycot 100 more stable, compact, and lightweight, and to ensure that the carrycot 100 provides a comfortable and safe environment for children, the carrycot body 10 can be made of a foam material and the mounting bracket 20 can be made of a hard material. The mounting bracket 20 covers the bottom of the carrycot body 10, and the mounting bracket 20 and the carrycot body 10 can cooperate to form an integrated structure. When the carrycot 100 is used alone, the mounting bracket 20, which is made of a hard material, can stably support the carrycot body 10. Furthermore, when the carrycot 100 is attached to a base 200 or other carrier frame, the mounting bracket 20, which is made of a hard material, can withstand impacts during collisions or when driving on bumpy roads, while the carrycot body 10, which is made of a foam material, can cushion the impact force and prevent excessive vibration. In addition, the carrycot body 10 made of a foam material can also absorb noise. Therefore, the carrycot 100 has a stable structure, is compact, and lightweight, and can provide a comfortable and safe environment for children. The mounting bracket 20 can be made of polypropylene (PP), which further improves the structural strength of the mounting bracket 20. The carrycot body 10 can be made of expanded polystyrene (EPS), expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polyolefin (EPO), expanded polyethylene (EPE), or a composite material containing at least one of the above materials. The carrycot body 10 and the mounting bracket 20 can be attached using an adhesive such as glue, by hot melt, by foam molding, or by connecting members such as screws. The weight ratio of the carrycot body 10 to the mounting bracket 20 can be 1:5, 2:5, 3:5, 4:5, or 1:1.

[0054] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, two first shoulder strap holes 13 and a first crotch strap hole 12 are provided on the carrycot body 10, allowing the shoulder straps and crotch straps of the harness to pass through, respectively. Two second shoulder strap holes 24 and a second crotch strap hole 23 are provided on the mounting bracket 20, allowing the shoulder straps and crotch straps of the harness to pass through, respectively. The two first shoulder strap holes 13 are aligned with the two second shoulder strap holes 24, respectively, so that the shoulder straps can pass through the two first shoulder strap holes 13 and the two second shoulder strap holes 24, allowing the shoulder straps to easily extend into the carrycot body 10. The first crotch strap hole 12 is aligned with the second crotch strap hole 23, so that the crotch strap can pass through the first crotch strap hole 12 and the second crotch strap hole 23, allowing the crotch strap to easily extend into the carrycot body 10. With the above-described configuration, the present invention can provide a comfortable and safe environment for a child inside the carrycot body 10. However, the number of first shoulder strap holes, second shoulder strap holes, first crotch strap holes, and second crotch strap holes is not limited to this embodiment and will depend on the practical design of the shoulder straps and crotch straps. For example, in another embodiment, only one first shoulder strap hole can be provided on the mounting bracket and only one second shoulder strap hole can be provided on the carrycot body. Alternatively, in another embodiment, two first crotch strap holes can be provided on the mounting bracket and two second crotch strap holes can be provided on the carrycot body.

[0055] 1 and 3, at least one first through-hole 14 is provided in the carrycot body 10. At least one second through-hole 25 is provided in the mounting bracket 20. The at least one first through-hole 14 is aligned with the at least one second through-hole 25. This configuration not only provides breathability and ventilation to the carrycot 100 to improve the comfort of the child, but also makes the carrycot 100 lighter, making it easier to use and transport.

[0056] 1 to 6, the carrycot 100 further includes a handle 11 movably arranged on the carrycot body 10. This configuration of the handle 11 allows a user to easily carry the carrycot 100 together with a child by holding the handle 11, and when the carrycot 100 does not need to be carried, the handle 11 can be pivotally folded up and abutted against the carrycot body 10 to reduce the space required for the carrycot 100. However, the structure of the handle is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the handle can be movably connected directly to the mounting bracket.

[0057] 1, 4 and 5, the first connection assembly 21 includes two engagement slot structures 2A. The width of each lower part of the engagement slot structures 2A is wider than the width of each upper part of the engagement slot structures 2A, so that two cooperating parts of the first carrier frame can be guided to engage with the two engagement slot structures 2A, respectively.

[0058] As shown in Figures 1, 4 and 5, to ensure a more stable connection between the carrycot 100 and the first carrier frame, each of the engagement slot structures 2A includes a first portion 211 and a second portion 213 connected to the first portion 211. The engagement portion 212 is located on the second portion 213 and is intended to engage with a corresponding cooperating part of the first carrier frame. Specifically, the second portion 213 is located adjacent to the upper side of the first portion 211, and the width of the first portion 211 gradually decreases from bottom to top, so that each cooperating part is guided to move toward the corresponding second portion 213, allowing the corresponding part of the cooperating part to smoothly enter and engage with the corresponding engagement portion 212. With this configuration, the carrycot 100 is stably connected to the first carrier frame and will not easily come off the first carrier frame. In addition, the two engagement slot structures 2A can be arranged facing each other on the side portions of the mounting bracket 20 corresponding to the side portions of the carrycot body 10, thereby making the connection between the carrycot 100 and the first carrier frame more stable.

[0059] 1 and 2, the second connection assembly 22 includes four fixing blocks 221 and two engaging pieces 223. The four fixing blocks 221 protrude from the surface of the mounting bracket 20 away from the carrycot 10. Each of the engaging pieces 223 is disposed between two corresponding fixing blocks 221 and is for detachably engaging with the base 200. The four fixing blocks 221 can facilitate the engagement between the two engaging pieces 223 and the base 200, and are therefore convenient for the engagement between the two engaging pieces 223 and the base 200. However, the number of fixing blocks and engaging pieces is not limited to this embodiment and will depend on the practical design.

[0060] 1 and 2, the inclined surface 222 is at an end of each of the fixed blocks 221 away from the corresponding engaging part 223, for guiding the corresponding engaging part 223 to releasably engage with the base 200. There may be a smooth transition area between the bottom surface of each of the fixed blocks 221 and the corresponding inclined surface 222 to optimize the above-mentioned guiding process.

[0061] 1 and 2, the fixing block 221 and the mounting bracket 20 can be integrally formed to make the overall structure more stable and simplify the manufacturing process. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. In another embodiment, the fixing block and the mounting bracket can be formed independently and connected to each other by engaging elements or screw elements.

[0062] More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, each engaging part 223 may be a rod-like structure integrally formed with the corresponding fixed block 221. However, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. In another embodiment, the engaging part and the fixed block may be formed independently and then coupled to each other by an engaging element or a screw element. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the engaging part may be formed in a different shape. For example, the engaging part may be an engaging block having an engaging recess.

[0063] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6 , two locking components 201 protrude from the base 200 and cooperate with two engaging components 223, respectively. Each of the locking components 201 has a locking slot 202 for engaging with a corresponding engaging component 223. Each of the locking components 201 may be a protruding structure, and each of the locking slots 202 may be a recessed structure. Each of the engaging components 223 protrudes from the mounting bracket 20, and a gap 224 exists between each of the engaging components 223 and the mounting bracket 20 to partially accommodate the corresponding locking component 201. This configuration makes it more convenient to engage the engaging components 223 with the base 200. However, the number of locking components is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, only one locking component may protrude from the base.

[0064] As shown in Figures 1 and 3 to 6, the longitudinal direction of the base 200 may be parallel to the traveling direction of the vehicle. The extension direction of each of the lock slots 202 may be parallel to the lateral direction of the base 200, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the base 200. The longitudinal direction of each of the engagement parts 223 may be parallel to the longitudinal direction of the carrycot body 10 and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the base 200. Therefore, when the carrycot 100 is installed on the base 200, the longitudinal direction of the carrycot body 10 may be perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the base 200 and the traveling direction of the vehicle, and the wall of the carrycot body 10 extending along the longitudinal direction of the carrycot body 10 may be parallel to the backrest of the vehicle seat, so that the wall extending along the longitudinal direction of the carrycot body 10 can better protect the child in the event of an impact.

[0065] 1 and 3 to 6, two restraining blocks 203 are provided protruding from the base 200 to restrict movement of the carrycot 100 relative to the base 200. Specifically, when each of the engaging parts 223 engages with a corresponding lock slot 202, each of the locking parts 201 abuts against the corresponding restraining and fixing block 221 along the first direction X, and each of the restraining blocks 203 abuts against the corresponding restraining and fixing block 221 along the second direction Y, thereby restricting each of the engaging parts 223 from moving relative to the corresponding lock slot 202 along the first direction X and the second direction Y. The first direction X may be perpendicular to the second direction Y. Specifically, the first direction X may be parallel to the longitudinal direction of the carrycot body 10, i.e., parallel to the longitudinal direction of the carrycot 100 and the lateral direction of the base 200. Furthermore, the second direction Y can be the lateral direction of the carrycot body 10, i.e., the lateral direction of the carrycot 100, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the carrycot body 10 and parallel to the longitudinal direction of the base 200.

[0066] 6, there are two smooth curved surfaces 204 on the base 200, and each of the smooth curved surfaces 204 is for cooperating with the inclined surface 222 of the corresponding fixing block 221 to guide each engaging part 223 to engage with the corresponding locking slot 202. Furthermore, the smooth curved surfaces 204 can also prevent wear and tear on the fixing block 221, so as to extend the service life of the carrycot 100.

[0067] 1 and 2, two support blocks 26 protrude from the end of the mounting bracket 20 away from the four fixed blocks 221. The height of each of the support blocks 26 from the mounting bracket 20 is equal to the height of each of the fixed blocks 221 from the mounting bracket 20, and the support blocks 26 and the fixed blocks 221 can cooperatively support the carrycot body 10 on a horizontal surface. When the carrycot 100 is used alone, for example, when the carrycot 100 is placed on the ground or a desk, the above-mentioned configuration is intended to prevent the carrycot body 10 from accidentally tipping over and affecting a child inside the carrycot body 10. However, the number of support blocks is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, only one support block may protrude from the mounting bracket.

[0068] Further, please refer to Figures 7 to 11. Figure 7 is a perspective view of a child carrier 2000 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 is a perspective view of a carrycot 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view of the carrycot 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 10 is an enlarged view of section A of the carrycot 100 shown in Figure 9 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 11 is another cross-sectional view of the carrycot 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figures 7 to 11, the child carrier 200 includes the carrycot 100 and a carrier frame 300. The carrier frame 300 includes at least one cooperating part 301 for cooperating with the first connection assembly 21. The carrycot 100 can be detachably installed on the carrier frame 300 by cooperation of the first connection assembly 21 and the at least one cooperating part 301.

[0069] In this embodiment, the carrycot 100 includes a carrycot body 10, a mounting bracket 20, a first connection assembly 21, and a second connection assembly 22. The carrycot body 10 is made of a foam material such as EPS, EPP, EPO, or EPE. The mounting bracket 20 is made of a hard material such as PP. The ratio of the weight of the carrycot body 10 to the weight of the mounting bracket 20 may be 1:5, 2:5, 3:5, 4:5, or 1:1. The mounting bracket 20 is partially embedded in the carrycot body 10 and covers the bottom of the carrycot body 10. The mounting bracket 20 and the carrycot body 10 cooperate to form an integrated structure. The first connection assembly 21 and the second connection assembly 22 are arranged on the mounting bracket 20 and are intended to detachably connect the carrycot 100 to a first carrier frame, such as the carrier frame 300 of the present embodiment, and a second carrier frame, such as the base 200 of the first embodiment, respectively.

[0070] As shown in FIG. 8 , in this embodiment, at least one first through-hole is provided in the carrycot body, and at least one third through-hole 15, which is different from the at least one first through-hole, is provided in the carrycot body 10. The size of the third through-hole 15 is smaller than the size of the first through-hole. The third through-hole 15 is provided in a part of the side of the carrycot body 10 that is not covered by the mounting bracket 20, thereby reducing the weight of the carrycot body 10 and improving its breathability. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, multiple third through-holes may be evenly distributed on the bottom wall and side walls of the carrycot body, or may be distributed on parts of the bottom wall and side walls. As will be understood, the third through-hole may also be configured to be formed in the carrycot body 10 of the first embodiment.

[0071] 9 and 10, in this embodiment the thickness of the side parts of the mounting bracket 20 can be made thinner than the thickness of the side parts of the carrycot body 10, making the carrycot 100 lighter. As can be seen, the carrycot 100 of the first embodiment can be configured to have mounting brackets 20 with thinner side parts and a carrycot body 10 with thicker side parts.

[0072] 9 and 11, in this embodiment, the walls extending along the longitudinal direction of the carrycot body 10 are structured to withstand impacts. Therefore, the first wall thickness T1 of the walls of the carrycot body 10 extending along the longitudinal direction of the carrycot body 10 is greater than the second wall thickness T2 of the walls of the carrycot body 10 extending along the lateral direction of the carrycot body 10, so as to improve impact resistance for protecting the child. As will be understood, the carrycot 100 of the first embodiment can be configured to have different wall thicknesses in the longitudinal and lateral directions.

[0073] As shown in Figure 10, in this embodiment the mounting bracket 20 includes an upper edge 210 that is recessed into and covered by the side of the carrycot body 10, and further includes at least one protrusion 220. The at least one recess 16 is on the bottom of the carrycot body 10 for cooperating with the at least one protrusion 220. The at least one protrusion 220 can be recessed into the at least one recess 16 to make the connection between the mounting bracket 20 and the carrycot body 10 more stable. As can be appreciated, the carrycot 100 of the first embodiment can also be configured to have protrusions and recesses.

[0074] Please refer to Figures 12 to 14. Figure 12 is a perspective view of a mounting bracket 20 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 13 is an enlarged view of part B of the mounting bracket 20 shown in Figure 12 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 14 is an enlarged view of part C of the mounting bracket 20 shown in Figure 12 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figures 12 to 14, in this embodiment, a plurality of ribs 230 protrude from the surface of the mounting bracket 20 to cooperate with the carrycot body 10. The ribs 230 are embedded in the carrycot body 10 to reinforce the connection between the mounting bracket 20 and the carrycot body 10. The plurality of ribs 230 may be arranged along the periphery of the inner surface of the mounting bracket 20 that is configured to cooperate with the carrycot body 10. Specifically, each of the ribs 230 includes a connecting plate 231 and an embedding plate 232. The connecting plate 231 is connected to the embedded plate 232 and positioned between the embedded plate 232 and the inner surface of the mounting bracket 20, forming at least one molding gap 233 between the embedded plate 232 and the inner surface of the mounting bracket 20. The connecting plate 231 may be a structure whose cross section gradually increases from the bottom toward the upper edge 210 of the mounting bracket 20, i.e., from the bottom toward the top. For example, the connecting plate 231 may have an inverted triangular or inverted trapezoidal structure. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. That is, in other embodiments, the connecting plate may also be formed in other shapes, such as a rectangular shape, as long as it is stably connected to the embedded plate and positioned between the embedded plate and the inner surface of the mounting bracket to form a molding gap between the embedded plate and the inner surface of the mounting bracket. The embedded plate 232 may be an arc-shaped plate, a linear plate, or a curved plate that intersects with the connecting plate 231. Furthermore, the number of ribs, connecting plates, and embedded plates is not limited to this embodiment. In another embodiment, there may be only one rib protruding from the inner surface of the mounting bracket to cooperate with the carrycot body, and the rib may include one connecting plate and at least one recessed plate connected to the one connecting plate.In this embodiment, the embedding plate 232 is perpendicular to the connecting plate 231. As can be seen, in this embodiment, there are ribs 230 protruding from the mounting bracket 20. Therefore, when the carrycot body 10 is combined with the mounting bracket 20 by foam molding, each molding gap 233 between the corresponding embedding plate 232 and the inner surface of the mounting bracket 20 can be filled with the foam material of the carrycot body 10, so that the ribs 230 can be embedded in the carrycot body 10 to reinforce the connection between the mounting bracket 20 and the carrycot body 10, making the integrated structure formed by the mounting bracket 20 and the carrycot body 10 more stable.

[0075] Compared to the prior art, the carrycot provided by the present invention not only has a simple structure but can also be adapted to various carrier frames, such as a base attached to a vehicle seat, stroller frame, or crib frame. Therefore, the carrycot provided by the present invention is versatile. Furthermore, in the present invention, when a child carrier or vehicle travels over bumpy roads, the mounting bracket made of a hard material can withstand impact forces, and the carrycot made of a foam material can cushion the impact forces and prevent excessive vibration. Furthermore, a carrycot made of a foam material can also absorb noise. Thus, the carrycot provided by the present invention is structurally stable, compact, and lightweight, providing a comfortable and safe environment for children.

[0076] Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that numerous modifications and variations of the apparatus and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the present invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
