[0210] First Embodiment
[0211] Figures 1 to 13 exemplarily show a baby carrier according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In the first embodiment, the baby carrier is described by taking a baby dining chair as an example, but the type of the baby carrier is not limited to the baby dining chair. For example, in some embodiments, the baby carrier is, for example, a baby stroller or other suitable products. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the baby carrier includes a main frame 1, a swing bracket assembly 2, and a seat 3. The main frame 1 is supported by the ground. The swing bracket assembly 2 is connected to the main frame 1 and is configured to swing back and forth with respect to the main frame 1. The seat 3 is pivotally connected to the main frame 1 via the swing bracket assembly 2, and the seat can swing back and forth with respect to the main frame 1.
[0212] It should be understood that the main frame 1 can have different shapes according to the type of the baby carrier. For example, when the baby carrier is a baby dining chair, the main frame 1 is a high chair frame, and when the baby carrier is a baby stroller, the main frame 1 is a movable frame with rollers arranged at the lower part. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, in the first embodiment, the main frame 1 is a high chair frame and includes two front leg support parts 101 arranged at intervals in the left-right direction and two rear leg support parts 102 arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The lower ends of the two front leg support parts 101 are connected by a front cross bar 1031, and the lower ends of the two rear leg support parts 102 are connected by a rear cross bar 1032. The upper ends of the front leg support part 101 and the rear leg support part 102 located on the same side are connected via a folding member 104, and the folding member 104 can control the folding and unfolding of the front leg support part 101 and the rear leg support part 102. The structure of the main frame 1 is not limited to such a structure. For example, in some embodiments, the front leg support part 101 and the rear leg support part 102 are fixedly connected to each other and do not have a folded state.
[0213] A support pipe 11 is disposed on the upper part of the corresponding front leg support portion 101, and the support pipe 11 is configured to be connected to the swing bracket assembly 2. Refer to FIGS. 1 and 2. As shown in FIG. 4, in the first embodiment, the support pipe 11 extends upward with respect to the upper end of the front leg support portion 101, and the extending direction of the support pipe 11 is the same as the extending direction of the front leg support portion 101. In some embodiments, the support pipe 11 and the front leg support portion 101 are of an integral structure, or the support pipe 11 is sleeved on the tubular portion of the front leg support portion 101. When the support pipe 11 is sleeved on the tubular portion of the front leg support portion 101, the support pipe 11 is, for example, telescopic with respect to the front leg support portion 101, and a height adjustment structure configured to lock the position of the telescopic support pipe 11 with respect to the front leg support portion 101 is also disposed between the support pipe 11 and the front leg support portion 101. Thereby, the user can adjust the height of the seat 3 supported by the swing bracket assembly 2 as needed. For the height adjustment structure, related technologies can be referred to. Since the height adjustment structure is not the focus of the present invention, it will not be repeatedly described below. In the first embodiment, the support pipe 11 is installed at the upper end of the corresponding front leg support portion 101. However, in some embodiments, the support pipe 11 is not limited to being connected to the front leg support portion 101. According to the change in the structure of the main frame 1, the structure of the support pipe 11 and the position of the support pipe 11 in the main frame 1 can be appropriately changed as long as the support pipe 11 can be pivotally connected to the swing bracket assembly 2 to achieve the corresponding functions.
[0214] It should be noted that the terms indicating directions such as "front", "rear", "left", and "right" in the embodiments of the present invention refer to the "front", "rear", "left", and "right" of the baby sitting in the baby carrier, respectively, unless otherwise specified. The arrows H and P shown in the drawings indicate the "front" and "rear" directions, respectively, and the arrows L and R indicate the "left" and "right" directions, respectively. These terms indicating directions are only used to make the description of the embodiments of the present invention clearer and are not used to unduly limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0215] FIG. 7 shows an example of the structure of the swing bracket assembly 2. The swing bracket assembly 2 is made of, for example, a metal rod and includes a support frame 22 and swing arms 21 disposed on both the left and right sides of the support frame 22, respectively. The support frame 22 has a bent structure. The support frame 22 includes, for example, a first support rod 221, a second support rod 222, a first cross bar 223, a second cross bar 224, and a third cross bar 225. The first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 are arranged to face each other. In some embodiments, the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 are spaced apart on both the left and right sides, both extend in the front-rear direction, and are parallel to each other. The first cross bar 223 is connected between the rear ends of the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222. The second cross bar 224 is connected to the front end of the first support rod 221 and the swing arm 21 on the right side. The third cross bar 225 is connected to the front end of the second support rod 222 and the swing arm 21 on the left side. The upper end of each swing arm 21 is pivotally connected to the corresponding support pipe 11, and the swing arm 21 can swing back and forth. In some embodiments, the swing bracket assembly 2 includes swing arms 21 respectively connected to the support pipes 11 disposed on both sides, and may have various structures as long as the seat 3 can be supported.
[0216] Referring to FIG. 1, the seat 3 is supported by the support frame 22 and is restricted in the left-right direction by the two swing arms 21. When the swing arms 21 swing back and forth, the seat 3 also swings together with the swing arms 21, and the baby carrier has a swing mode (also called a rocking chair mode).
[0217] Referring to FIGS. 1, 3, 23, and 24, an exemplary structure of the seat 3 in the first embodiment is shown. The seat 3 includes a base 305, two safety fences 306, a backrest 307, and a dinner plate 308 or a front armrest. The two safety fences 306 are disposed on both the left and right sides of the base 305. The backrest 307 is installed on the base 305 and is disposed between the two safety fences 306. The dinner plate 308 or the front armrest is installed on the two safety fences 306 and is disposed in front of the backrest 307. In some embodiments, a seat portion 3071 is further provided at the bottom of the backrest 307. For example, the seat portion 3071 and the backrest 307 are integrally formed and fixed on the base 305, whereby the backrest 307 is fixed on the base 305. The footrest 309 is disposed on the front surface of the base 305 and extends downward. The footrest 309 is configured to support the legs and feet of an infant. The upper end of the footrest 309 is pivotally connected to the seat portion 3071 via, for example, a pivot 3091. After removing the backrest 307, the seat portion 3071, and the footrest 309 from the base 305, the footrest 309 can be rotated toward the bottom of the seat portion 3071, thereby saving space. The structure of the seat 3 is not limited to the above example. For example, in some embodiments, the backrest 307 and the base 305 are integrally formed. Alternatively, the backrest 307 may be pivotally connected to the base 305. The seat 3 may be provided with a backrest adjustment and locking structure to realize the function of adjusting the inclination angle of the backrest 307. Alternatively, the footrest 309 may be directly connected to the base 305. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the footrest 309 is not disposed on the seat 3.
[0218] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 23, the seat 3 includes an attachment structure that engages with the swing bracket assembly 2. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23, a first positioning groove 31 and a second positioning groove 32 are provided on the bottom surface of the base 305, and the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 are respectively locked in the first positioning groove 31 and the second positioning groove 32. Positioning grooves 331, 332, and 333 are provided on the bottom surface of the base 305, and the first cross bar 223, the second cross bar 224, and the third cross bar 225 are respectively locked in the positioning grooves 331, 332, and 333. As shown in FIG. 3, positioning grooves 3060 are provided on the outer surfaces of the two safety fences 306. The two swing arms 21 can be clamped in the positioning grooves 3060 on the respective side portions of the safety fence 306. In this way, the swing bracket assembly 2 forms a reliable support for the seat 3 in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. Further, in order to easily lock or unlock the connection between the support frame 22 and the base 305, a quick release structure is arranged between the base 305 and the support frame 22. The quick release structure is, for example, the lock device 9 described later in the third and fourth embodiments, but the implementation of the quick release structure is not limited to the following examples. It is understood that the structure for connecting the seat 3 and the swing bracket assembly 2 can be implemented in various ways as long as the swing bracket assembly 2 can reliably support the seat 3.
[0219] Referring to FIGS. 6, 7, 9, and 11 to 13, a swing limiting mechanism 4 is disposed between the swing arm 21 and the support pipe 11. The swing limiting mechanism 4 is configured to limit the swing angle of the swing arm 21, thereby controlling the swing range of the seat 3 and realizing the riding safety and comfort of the seat 3 in the swing mode. In some embodiments, the swing angle of the swing arm 21 is within the range of 30 degrees to 40 degrees. Taking the swing angle of 40 degrees of the swing arm 21 as an example, the swing angle of 40 degrees means that the maximum angle α at which the swing arm 21 swings backward from the starting position is 20 degrees (shown in FIG. 11), and the maximum angle β at which the swing arm 21 swings forward from the starting position is 20 degrees (shown in FIG. 12). As shown in FIG. 13, the starting position of the swing arm 21 is, for example, a position where the swing arm 21 is substantially parallel to the center line of the support pipe 11.
[0220] FIGS. 6, 7, 9 to 13 show an example of the structure of the swing limiting mechanism 4 between the left swing arm 21 and the support pipe 11. In the first embodiment, the structures of the main frame 1 of the baby carrier and the support frame 22 are substantially symmetric about the left and right, respectively. The swing limiting mechanism 4 between the right swing arm 21 and the support pipe 11 is symmetric with the left swing limiting mechanism 4 and will not be repeatedly described below. Depending on the embodiment, the structures of the main frame 1 and the support frame 22 of the baby carrier may not be exactly symmetric about the left and right. In this case, the swing limiting mechanism 4 may be disposed only between the swing arm 21 and the support pipe 11 disposed on one side.
[0221] Referring to FIGS. 6, 7 and 9, a first through hole 110 penetrating the wall of the support pipe 11 of the main frame 1 in the lateral direction is provided in the support pipe 11, and the first through hole 110 is adjacent to the upper end of the support pipe 1. A fixing member 41 is provided in the swing motion restricting mechanism 4, and the fixing member 41 is inserted into the support pipe 11 in a sleeve shape and fixed to the main frame 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a limiting flange 4109 is provided at the upper end of the fixing member 41, and the limiting flange 4109 is mounted on the upper end opening of the support pipe 11 to fix the fixing member 41 to the upper end of the support pipe 11. A second through hole 410 and a limiting groove 411 are provided in the fixing member 41. The second through hole 410 is aligned with the first through hole 110 in a row, and the limiting groove 411 extends in the longitudinal direction of the fixing member 41 and communicates with the second through hole 410. Note that, depending on the embodiment, the fixing member 41 may be fixed to the main frame 1 by other methods.
[0222] The pivot 211 is disposed at the upper end of the swing arm 21 and is non-rotatably connected to the swing arm 21. The pivot 211 is configured to pass through the first through hole 110 and the second through hole 410, and the axis of the pivot 211 is substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the limiting groove 411. When a swinging force acts on the swing arm 21, the swing arm 21 swings about the axis of the pivot 211 together with the pivot 211. In the first embodiment, the swing arm 21 and the pivot 211 are integrally formed. In some embodiments, the pivot 211 and the swing arm 21 are integrally formed by, for example, welding. Alternatively, the pivot 211 and the swing arm 21 have a separate structure and are connected to each other by, for example, a flat head connection portion that engages with a flat hole.
[0223] Referring to FIGS. 11 to 13, the side walls of the limiting groove 411 include a first side wall 401 and a second side wall 402 that are parallel to each other, and the first side wall 401 and the second side wall 402 are respectively located on the front side and the rear side of the pivot 211. The first side wall 401 and the second side wall 402 respectively form a first limiting surface 4111 and a second limiting surface 4112. The first limiting surface 4111 of the first side wall 401 is located above the second limiting surface 4112 thereon, and the first limiting surface 4111 of the second side wall 402 is located below the second limiting surface 4112 thereon.
[0224] Referring to FIGS. 6, 10 to 13, the swing limiting mechanism 4 further includes a contact member 42. The contact member 42 is non-rotatably connected to the pivot 211 and is disposed between the first limiting surfaces 4111 of the first side wall 401 and the second side wall 402 and between the second limiting surfaces 4112 of the first side wall 401 and the second side wall 402. The contact member 42 limits the swing angle of the swing arm 21 by contacting the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112. In the first embodiment, the contact member 42 and the pivot 211 are of a separate structure. The contact member 42 is first inserted into the limiting groove 411 and then non-rotatably connected to the pivot 211. The contact member 42 has a substantially rhombic shape and includes a first pair of parallel planes 421 and a second pair of parallel planes 422. Referring to FIG. 11, when the swing arm 21 swings until it contacts the first limiting surface 4111, the first pair of parallel planes 421 prevents the swing arm 21 from continuing to swing in the first direction T1. Referring to FIG. 12, when the swing arm 21 swings until it contacts the second limiting surface 4112, the second pair of parallel planes 422 prevents the swing arm 21 from continuing to swing in the second direction T2. The first direction T1 is opposite to the second direction T2. In the first embodiment, the first direction T1 is more specifically the rearward direction, and the second direction T2 is more specifically the forward direction.
[0225] In the first embodiment, the first side wall 401 and the second side wall 402 are parallel to each other, and the contact member 42 has a substantially rhombic shape. However, in other embodiments, the first side wall 401, the second side wall 402, and the contact member 42 may have other embodiments. As long as the first side wall 401 and the second side wall 402 can engage with the contact member 42 to limit the swing angle of the swing arm 21 within a preset angle, it is not limited to the above example.
[0226] Figures 6, 7, and 10 show connection examples of the pivot 211 and the contact member 42. A first flat head portion 2111 is provided at an end of the pivot 211, and a first flat hole 423 that engages with the first flat head portion 2111 is provided in the contact member 42. A part of the first flat head portion 2111 located in the limiting groove 411 is configured to pass through the first flat hole 423, and the contact member 42 is non-rotatably connected to the pivot 211. In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shapes of the first flat head portion 2111 and the first flat hole 423 are rectangular, trapezoidal, elliptical, rectangular, etc. Referring to Figures 6 and 7, the cross-sectional shapes of the first flat head portion 2111 and the first flat hole 423 are rectangular, trapezoidal, elliptical, rectangular, etc. As shown in Figure 7, during installation, first, the contact member 42 is inserted into the limiting groove 411 from the groove opening 41101 at the upper part of the limiting groove 411. Next, the first flat head portion 2111 is inserted through the first through hole 110 and the second through hole 410 on one side of the limiting groove 411. After aligning the first flat head portion 2111 of the contact member 42 in a straight line, the first flat head portion 2111 is inserted through the first flat hole 423. As can be seen from Figure 13, in some embodiments, the limiting groove 411 has a closed groove bottom 41102, thereby preventing the contact member 42 from accidentally slipping into the support pipe 11 from the bottom of the limiting groove 411.
[0227] Referring to FIGS. 6, 7, and 10, the diameter of the pivot 211 is smaller than the diameters of the first through hole 110 and the second through hole 410. The first shaft sleeve 201 fits onto the outer circumference of the pivot 211. The first shaft sleeve 201 is disposed on one side of the limiting groove 411 and is at least sleeved in the second through hole 410 of the fixing member 41. The pivot 211 is supported by the first shaft sleeve 201 and is rotatable relative to the first shaft sleeve 201. The first shaft sleeve 201 is made of a wear-resistant material with a low coefficient of friction, such as a plastic material, to reduce the resistance during the swinging of the swing arm 21. In some embodiments, the first shaft sleeve 201 is not provided, and the pivot 211 is directly supported by, for example, the second through hole 410.
[0228] Referring to FIG. 6, a step 4108 is formed on the hole wall of the second through hole 410. The step 4108 limits the installation depth of the first shaft sleeve 201 in the second through hole 410 and is configured to prevent the first shaft sleeve 201 from contacting the contact member 42. In some embodiments, the first shaft sleeve 201 engages closely with the second through hole 410 to prevent the first shaft sleeve 201 from moving axially or rotating circumferentially relative to the second through hole 410. Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, as shown in FIG. 10, in some embodiments, an axial guide groove 2011 is formed on the outer circumference of the first shaft sleeve 201, and an axial guide rib 4101 is disposed on the hole wall of the second through hole 410. The extending directions of the axial guide groove 2011 and the axial guide rib 4101 are parallel to the axis of the pivot 211. During installation, the axial guide groove 2011 and the axial guide rib 4101 move axially relative to each other and engage with each other to prevent the first shaft sleeve 201 from rotating circumferentially relative to the second through hole 410. It can be understood that in some embodiments, the positions of the axial guide groove 2011 on the outer circumference of the first shaft sleeve 201 and the axial guide rib 4101 on the hole wall of the second through hole 410 may be interchanged.
[0229] Referring to FIGS. 6, 7, 9, and 10, a first step 2102 is formed at the root of the first flat head portion 2111. When viewed from one side, the first step 2102 can prevent the abutting member 42 from moving axially with respect to the pivot 211. The first limiting structure 5 is disposed on the first flat head portion 2111. When viewed from the other side, the first limiting structure 5 prevents the abutting member 42 from moving axially with respect to the pivot 211, and prevents the abutting member 42 from moving along the first flat head portion 2111 or disengaging from the first flat head portion 2111.
[0230] Referring to FIGS. 6, 7, 9, and 10, an exemplary structure of the first limiting structure 5 in the first embodiment is also shown. The first limiting structure 5 includes a spring clip 51 and a first positioning sleeve 52 located on the opposite side of the limiting groove 411. The first positioning sleeve 52 is fitted to the first flat head portion 2111 and disposed in the second through hole 410. The second flat hole 521 is formed along the axial direction and is located at the center of the first positioning sleeve 52. The second flat hole 521 is configured to engage with the first flat head portion 2111, thereby avoiding rotation between the first positioning sleeve 52 and the first flat head portion 2111. The first positioning sleeve 52 also includes a radially penetrating groove 522. The radially penetrating groove 522 is configured to accommodate the spring clip 51 and intersects the second flat hole 521 perpendicularly. A first positioning recess 2101 is formed in the first flat head portion 2111. The spring clip 51 is configured to be inserted into the radially penetrating groove 522, engages with the first positioning recess 2101, fixes the axial position of the first positioning sleeve 52 on the first flat head portion 2111, and the abutting member 42 is clamped between the first step 2102 and the first positioning sleeve 52. Referring to FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the first positioning sleeve 52 is in contact with the hole wall of the second through hole 410. Therefore, the first positioning sleeve 52 can form an auxiliary support portion for the first flat head portion 2111.
[0231] Referring to FIG. 7, in some embodiments, one or more positioning holes 424 are formed in the end face of the abutting member 42 facing the first positioning sleeve 52. The positioning holes 424 may be blind holes or through holes. One or more positioning posts 523 are disposed on the end face of the first positioning sleeve 52 facing the abutting member 42. The positioning holes 424 engage with the positioning posts 523. Since the first positioning sleeve 52 and the first flat head portion 2111 are non-rotatably connected, the engagement of the positioning holes 424 with the positioning posts 523 further ensures the non-rotatable connection between the abutting member 42 and the first flat head portion 2111. Depending on the embodiment, the positions of the positioning holes 424 on the abutting member 42 and the positions of the positioning posts 523 on the first positioning sleeve 52 can be interchanged.
[0232] Referring to FIG. 7, the baby carrier may be provided with a first swing lock mechanism 6. The first swing lock mechanism 6 is configured to lock the swing of the swing arm 21, so that the seat 3 cannot swing, that is, the seat 3 is switched from the swing mode to the fixed mode. In the case of a baby dining chair, when the baby is eating, it is necessary to switch the seat 3 from the swing mode to the fixed mode. The first swing lock mechanism 6 can be implemented in various ways. Referring to FIG. 3, at least one lock hole 30 is formed in the side portion of the seat 3, and more specifically, it is formed in the safety fence 306 of the seat 3. Referring to FIG. 7, as shown in FIG. 5, the first swing lock mechanism 6 is installed on the main frame 1 and includes a lock pin 62 that can be retracted in the axial direction. The lock pin 62 is parallel to the pivot 211. When the lock pin 62 is controlled to be inserted into the lock hole 30, the swing of the swing arm 21 is locked, and the seat 3 is switched to the fixed mode. When a plurality of lock holes 30 are formed in the seat 3, the inclination degree of the seat 3 in the fixed mode can be changed by inserting the lock pin 62 into different lock holes 30. When it is necessary to switch the seat 3 to the swing mode, the lock pin 62 is controlled to retract from the corresponding lock hole 30, and the lock pin 62 no longer interferes with the swing of the swing arm 21. The swing arm 21 can swing the seat 3 within the angular range restricted by the swing restriction mechanism 4.
[0233] Referring to FIGS. 5, 7 to 9, and 11 to 13, a structural example of the first swing lock mechanism 6 in the first embodiment and an example of the mounting structure of the first swing lock mechanism 6 and the main frame 1 are shown. For the convenience of mounting the first swing lock mechanism 6, the main frame 1 is further provided with a first mounting housing 15, and the first swing lock mechanism 6 is mounted in the first mounting housing 15. The first mounting housing 15 is mounted on the main frame 1. More specifically, the first mounting housing 15 is mounted on the support pipe 11.
[0234] Referring to FIGS. 7 and 9, the first mounting housing 15 is formed by butting the first housing portion 151 and the second housing portion 152 together, and a first swing lock mechanism 6 is installed inside the first mounting housing 15.
[0235] The second housing portion 152 is farther away from the longitudinal center plane of the baby carrier (also referred to as the left - right symmetric center plane) than the first housing portion 151. The second housing portion 152 includes a first sleeve portion 150, and the first sleeve portion 150 fits onto the end of the support pipe 11. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, the support pipe 11 has a hole 1101, the first sleeve portion 150 has a hole 1501, and a fastener such as a screw passes through the hole 1501 and the hole 1101 in sequence to fix the second housing portion 152 to the support pipe 11. Referring to FIG. 10. As shown in FIG. 7, an operation button 154 is arranged on the second housing portion 152. The first end of the operation button 154 is hingedly coupled to the second housing portion 152 via a pin shaft 1541, and a mounting hole 1542 is provided at the second end of the operation button 154. The mounting hole 1542 is configured to be connected to the end of a cable (not shown). A restoring spring 153 is further arranged between the operation button 154 and the second housing portion 152. Under the action of force, the operation button 154 moves upward around the pin shaft 1541, compresses the restoring spring 153, and the second end of the operation button 154 drives the cable upward, and the upward movement of the cable realizes the corresponding function. For example, in some embodiments, the upward movement of the cable releases the locking relationship between the support pipe 11 and the front - leg support portion 101, and the support pipe 11 expands and contracts relative to the front - leg support portion 101, so that the height of the seat 3 can be adjusted. Since the technical features and functions related to the operation button 154 and the cable are not the focus of the present invention, the operation button 154 and the cable will not be repeatedly described below.
[0236] The first housing part 151 is fixed to the second housing part 152 by a screw (not shown). A third through hole 1503 is provided in the first housing part 151, and the lock pin 62 is configured to protrude from the third through hole 1503. Referring to FIGS. 7 and 9, the first swing lock mechanism 6 further includes a first release member 61 and a first elastic element 63. Referring to FIG. 5, the first elastic element 63 is disposed inside the first mounting housing 15, applies an elastic force to the lock pin 62, and is arranged to project the lock pin 62 outward and insert it into the corresponding lock hole 30. The first release member 61 is operatively connected to the lock pin 62 and retracts the lock pin 62, retracting the lock pin 62 from the corresponding lock hole 30.
[0237] In some embodiments, the first release member 61 can move back and forth relative to the first mounting housing 15 to enter a locked position or an unlocked position. The first housing part 151 and / or the second housing part 152 are provided with a structure 1521 for guiding the movement of the first release member 61. Referring to FIGS. 8, 11, and 12, when the first release member 61 is in the unlocked position, the first release member 61 drives the lock pin 62 to retract from the lock hole 30, and the swing arm 21 can swing back and forth. Referring to FIGS. 8 and 13, when the first release member 61 is in the locked position, the first elastic element 63 drives the lock pin 62 to extend outward and insert it into the lock hole 30.
[0238] Referring to FIGS. 7, 8, 11 to 13, in some embodiments, the first annular flange 620 is disposed at an intermediate portion of the lock pin 62, and the first annular flange 620 divides the lock pin 62 into a first portion 621 and a second portion 622. The first portion 621 is configured to extend outward and be inserted into the lock hole 30, and the first elastic element 63 fits onto the second portion 622. The second housing portion 152 includes a mounting hole 1520, and the second portion 622 is axially movable and disposed within the mounting hole 1520. Referring to FIG. 8, the first release member 61 includes a first elongated hole 611, and the first elongated hole 611 is a straight hole or a curved hole. A first stop boss 612 extending obliquely is formed on the hole wall of the first elongated hole 611. The first annular flange 620 is sandwiched between the first stop boss 612 and the first elastic element 63. When the first release member 61 moves to the unlock position, the first stop boss 612 pushes the first annular flange 620 to axially move the lock pin 62 until it retracts until the lock pin 62 exits the lock hole 30. When the first release member 61 moves to the lock position, the first stop boss 612 escapes to secure an axial space, the first elastic element 63 extends the lock pin 62 outward, and the lock pin 62 is inserted into the lock hole 30. The structure of the first release member 61 for controlling the axial expansion and contraction of the lock pin 62 is diverse and is not limited to the above example.
[0239] Referring to FIGS. 8, 11 to 13, to facilitate the operation of the first release member 61, the first release member 61 further includes a first push block 613 protruding from the first mounting housing 15. The first push block 613 makes it convenient to manually change the front and rear positions of the first release member 61. The first mounting housing 15 is provided with a first opening 1505 through which the first push block 613 can pass, and the first opening 1505 can also limit the movement of the first push block 613.
[0240] As shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, in some embodiments, the upper end of the support pipe 11 extends into the first mounting housing 15 through the first sleeve portion 150 of the first mounting housing 15, and the fixing member 41 disposed at the upper end of the support pipe 11 is also accommodated in the first mounting housing 15 accordingly. The first mounting housing 15 is provided with a second opening 1506 (shown in FIG. 9) through which the swing arm 21 can pass, and the second opening 1506 also helps to limit the swing angle of the swing arm 21.
[0241] This embodiment also provides a swing mechanism. The swing mechanism includes the above-mentioned fixing member 41, swing arm 21, and abutting member 42. As described in this embodiment, the fixing member 41 includes a first limiting surface 4111 and a second limiting surface 4112. The swing arm 21 includes a pivot 211 that is rotatable relative to the fixing member 41. The abutting member 42 is connected to the pivot 211 and is disposed between the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112. When the swing arm 21 rotates, the abutting member 42 also rotates with the swing arm 21. When the boundary position of the swing is reached, the abutting member 42 abuts against the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112 respectively, restricting the swing angle of the swing arm 21.
[0242] In some embodiments, as described above, the fixing member 41 includes a limiting groove 411, and the extending direction of the limiting groove 411 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the pivot 211. The first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112 are formed on the first side wall 401 and the second side wall 402 of the limiting groove 411 and are parallel to each other. The abutting member 42 is attached to the swing arm 21 and includes a first pair of parallel surfaces 421 and a second pair of parallel surfaces 422. The abutting member 42 restricts the range of the swing angle of the swing arm 21 by the first pair of parallel surfaces 421 and the second pair of parallel surfaces 422 that abut against different positions of the first side wall 401 and the second side wall 402.
[0243] The swing mechanism can be applied to any suitable product to limit the range of the swing angle of the swing arm 21.

More specifically, the contact member 4 is a second flat head portion formed on the pivot 211, and the second flat head portion is adjacent to the first end of the pivot 211 and includes a first plane 425 and a second plane 426 that are parallel to each other. The first end of the pivot 211 is the end of the pivot 211 away from the connecting piece 26.
[0254] Referring to FIG. 20, during the swing of the swing arm 21, when the upper part of the first plane 425 and the lower part of the second plane 426 simultaneously contact the first limiting surface 4111, the continuation of the swing of the swing arm 21 in the first direction T1 is stopped, and when the lower part of the first plane 425 and the upper part of the second plane 426 simultaneously contact the second limiting surface 4112, the continuation of the swing of the swing arm 21 in the second direction T2 is stopped.
[0255] Note that the opening 430 of the second embodiment includes a first hole portion 4301 formed by butting two fan-shaped sub-holes communicating with each other, and the contact member 42 is a second flat head portion formed on the pivot 211. In other embodiments, the opening 430 and the contact member 42 can also be provided in other embodiments as long as the hole wall of the opening 430 can limit the swing angle of the swing arm 21 within a predetermined angle, and is not limited to the above example. For example, in some embodiments, the first hole portion 4301 of the opening 430 includes only one fan-shaped sub-hole, and the front wall and the rear wall of the fan-shaped sub-hole form the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112, respectively.
[0256] Refer to FIGS. 15 to 18. As shown in FIG. 17, the diameter of the pivot 211 is smaller than the diameters of the first through hole 110 and the second through hole 410. The second shaft sleeve 202 fits onto the outer periphery of the pivot 211. The second shaft sleeve 202 is disposed on one side of the limiting groove 411 and is at least sleeved in the second through hole 410 of the fixing member 41. The pivot 211 is supported by the second shaft sleeve 202 and is rotatable relative to the second shaft sleeve 202. The second shaft sleeve 202 is made of a wear-resistant material with a low coefficient of friction, such as a plastic material, to reduce the resistance during the swinging of the swing arm 21. In some embodiments, the second shaft sleeve 202 is firmly engaged with the second through hole 410 to prevent the second shaft sleeve 202 from moving axially or rotating circumferentially relative to the second through hole 410. The second shaft sleeve 202 is provided, and the pivot 211 is directly supported by, for example, the second through hole 410.
[0257] Referring to FIGS. 15 to 17, the pivot 211 is provided with a second limiting structure 7, and the second limiting structure 7 is configured to prevent the connecting piece 26, the pivot 211, and the limiting member 43 from separating from each other. The figure shows an exemplary connection between the pivot 211 and the second limiting structure 7. Specifically, the pivot 211 has a central hole 2110 (see FIG. 16), a second step 2103 (see FIG. 17) is formed at the root of the second flat head portion, and a third step 2105 (see FIG. 16) is formed at the root of the flat head connection portion 2113. The second limiting structure 7 includes a bolt 71 and a nut 72. The tail end 711 of the bolt 71 is inserted into the central hole 2110 from the second end of the pivot 211 (the end of the flat head connection portion 2113), exits from the central hole 2110 from the first end of the pivot 211, and is screwed into the nut 72. The nut 72 is disposed on the other side of the limiting groove 411 and is located within the second through hole 410. The connecting piece 26 is clamped between the third step 2105 and the head 712 of the bolt 71, the limiting member 43 is clamped between the second step 2103 and the nut 72, and the second shaft sleeve 202 is disposed between the connecting piece 26 and the limiting member 43.
[0258] Referring to FIGS. 15 to 17, the pivot 211 further includes a prism 2115 protruding from the end face of the second flat head portion, and the nut 72 forms a second positioning recess 720 that engages with the prism 2115. Since the prism 2115 engages with the second positioning recess 720, the nut 72 cannot rotate relative to the pivot 211, which is convenient for screwing the bolt 71 into the nut 72 or unscrewing it from the nut 72. In some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the nut 72 contacts the hole wall of the second through hole 410 to form an auxiliary support portion of the pivot 211.
[0259] In some embodiments, the baby carrier includes, in the first embodiment, the first swing lock mechanism 6, and the swing of the swing arm 21 is locked by the first swing lock mechanism 6, so that the seat 3 cannot swing and is in a fixed mode.
[0260] This second embodiment provides another embodiment for locking the swing of the swing arm 21. Referring to FIGS. 20 and 21, the limiting groove 411 includes a groove opening 41101 and a groove bottom 41102. The limiting member 43 is inserted into the limiting groove 411 through the groove opening 41101, and the limiting member 43 can move longitudinally within the limiting groove 411 to adjust its position. The limiting groove 411 has a closed groove bottom 41102 to prevent the limiting member 43 from accidentally slipping into the support pipe 11 through the bottom of the limiting groove 41. The opening 430 of the limiting member 43 further includes a second hole portion 4302 communicating with the first hole portion 4301. The second hole portion 4302 is, for example, a linear hole portion, and the linear hole portion includes, for example, two opposing parallel hole walls. The second hole portion 4302 is located below the first hole portion 4301 and is close to the groove bottom 41102, and the first hole portion 4301 is close to the groove opening 41101. As shown in FIG. 21, by moving the limiting member 43 toward the groove opening 41101, a part of the second flat head portion is inserted from the first hole portion 4301 into the second hole portion 4302, and the first plane 425 and the second plane 426 of the second flat head portion abut against the hole walls on both sides of the second hole portion 4302, that is, the second flat head portion engages with the second hole portion 4302, thereby restricting the swing of the swing arm 21. Referring to FIG. 21, in some embodiments, two limiting portions 4307 are formed at the joint of the two sector-shaped sub-holes. By appropriately designing the depth of the second hole portion 4302, when the second flat head portion engages with the second hole portion 4302, a part of the second flat head portion is sandwiched between the two limiting portions 4307, so the two limiting portions 4307 also have a limiting effect on the second flat head portion. Conversely, as shown in FIG. 20, when the limiting member 43 is moved toward the groove bottom 41102 so that the second flat head portion is completely positioned in the first hole portion 4301, the swing arm 21 can swing back and forth.
[0261] Note that, depending on the embodiment, the position above the first hole portion 4301 and the position below the second hole portion 4302 may be interchanged. In this case, when the restricting member 43 moves toward the groove opening 41101 and the second flat head portion is completely positioned within the first hole portion 4301, the swing arm 21 can swing back and forth. Conversely, when the restricting member 43 moves toward the groove bottom 41102, at least a part of the second flat head portion is inserted from the first hole portion 4301 into the second hole portion 4302, and the swing of the swing arm 21 is locked.
[0262] Refer to FIGS. 20 and 21. As shown in FIG. 21, in the second embodiment, the second elastic element 45 is disposed within the restricting groove 411 and is sandwiched between the restricting member 43 and the groove bottom 41102, exerting an upward force on the restricting member 43 to move the restricting member 43 toward the groove opening 41101. To facilitate the positioning of the second elastic element 45, a cylindrical guide portion 4115 is formed in the restricting groove 411. Further, a receiving recess 4309 is provided in the restricting member 43, and the upper end of the second elastic element 45 is received in the receiving recess 4309. When a pressing force is applied to the restricting member 43, the restricting member 43 overcomes the elastic force of the second elastic element 45 and moves toward the groove bottom 41102. In this way, by moving the restricting member 43 up and down within the restricting groove 411, the first hole portion 4301 and the second hole portion 4302 selectively engage with the second flat head portion. As can be understood from the above description, when the second flat head portion engages with the first hole portion 4301, the swing arm 21 can swing back and forth, and when at least a part of the second flat head portion engages with the second hole portion 4302, the swing of the swing arm 21 is locked.
[0263] Referring to FIGS. 16 to 21, to apply pressure to the restricting member 43 toward the groove bottom 41102, the second embodiment further includes a second swing lock mechanism 8. The second swing lock mechanism 8 is operatively connected to the restricting member 43 and applies pressure to the restricting member 43 toward the groove bottom 41102, causing the restricting member 43 to overcome the action of the second elastic element 45 and move toward the groove bottom 41102.
[0264] Referring to FIGS. 15 to 21, a structural example of the second swing lock mechanism 8 in the second embodiment and an attachment structure example of the second swing lock mechanism 8 and the main frame 1 are shown. For convenience of attachment of the second swing lock mechanism 8, a second attachment housing 16 is further provided in the baby carrier, and the second swing lock mechanism 8 is attached within the second attachment housing 16. The second attachment housing 16 is attached on the main frame 1. More specifically, the second attachment housing 16 is attached on the support pipe 11.
[0265] Referring to FIGS. 15 and 16, the second attachment housing 16 is formed by butting a third housing portion 161 and a fourth housing portion 162, and the second swing lock mechanism 8 is installed inside the second attachment housing 16.
[0266] The fourth housing part 152 is farther away from the longitudinal center plane of the baby carrier (also referred to as the left-right symmetric center plane) than the third housing part 161. The fourth housing part 162 includes a second sleeve part 160, and the second sleeve part 160 is fitted to the end of the support pipe 11. Referring to FIG. 17, in some embodiments, the support pipe 11 is provided with a hole 1101, the second sleeve part 160 is provided with a hole 1601, and a fastener such as a screw passes through the hole 1601 and the hole 1101 in sequence to fix the fourth housing part 162 to the support pipe 11. Referring to FIGS. 14 and 15, as shown in FIG. 16, an operation button 164 is disposed on the fourth housing part 162. The first end of the operation button 164 is hinged to the fourth housing part 162 via a pin shaft 1641, and a mounting hole 1642 is provided at the second end of the operation button 164. The mounting hole 1642 is configured to be connected to the end of a cable (not shown). A restoring spring 163 is further disposed between the operation button 164 and the fourth housing part 162. Due to the action of force, the operation button 164 moves upward about the pin shaft 1641, compresses the restoring spring 163, and the second end of the operation button 164 drives the cable upward, and the corresponding function is realized by the upward movement of the cable. For example, in some embodiments, due to the upward movement of the cable, the locking relationship between the support pipe 11 and the front leg support part 101 is released, and the support pipe 11 expands and contracts relative to the front leg support part 101, so that the height of the seat 3 can be adjusted. Since the technical features and functions related to the operation button 164 and the cable are not the focus of the present invention, the operation button 164 and the cable will not be repeatedly described below.
[0267] The third housing part 161 may be fixed to the fourth housing part 162 by a screw (not shown). Referring to FIGS. 16, 18 to 21, a clamp part 431 is disposed on the upper part of the restricting member 43 close to the groove opening 41101. The clamp part 431 is, for example, a recess. The second swing lock mechanism 8 includes a second releasing member 81, a first connecting member 82, and an engaging member 83. A central hole 830 is provided in the engaging member 83. Inside the second mounting housing 16, a rotating shaft 169 (see FIG. 16) is disposed. The engaging member 83 is fitted to the rotating shaft 169 through the central hole 830. The rotating shaft 169 is parallel to the pivot 211. On the outer periphery of the engaging member 83, a connecting protrusion 831, an engaging boss 832, and an avoiding part 833 are disposed. The first connecting member 82 is connected between the connecting protrusion 831 and the second releasing member 81. The second releasing member 81 rotationally drives the engaging member 83 via the first connecting member 82, and the engaging boss 832 and the avoiding part 833 also rotate accordingly. Refer to the drawings. Referring to FIG. 20, when the engaging boss 832 rotates to a position where it abuts against the clamp part 431, the restricting member 43 moves toward the groove bottom 41102, the second flat head part engages with the first hole part 4301, and the swing arm 21 can swing back and forth. Referring to FIG. 21, when the avoiding part 833 rotates to a position where it abuts against the upper part of the restricting member 43, the restricting member 43 moves toward the groove opening 41101 due to the action of the second elastic element 45, the second flat head part engages with the second hole part 4302, and the swing of the swing arm 21 is locked.
[0268] In the second embodiment, the second release member 81 moves back and forth between a locked position and an unlocked position with respect to the second mounting housing 16, and the third housing portion 161 and / or the fourth housing portion 162 are provided with a structure 1621 for guiding the movement of the second release member 81. Referring to FIGS. 18 and 20, when the second release member 81 retracts to the unlocked position, the first connecting member 82 rotates the engaging member 83, the engaging boss 832 contacts the clamp portion 431, the restricting member 43 moves downward, the second flat head portion engages with the first hole portion 4301, and the swing arm 21 swings back and forth. Referring to FIGS. 19 and 20, as shown in FIG. 21, when the second release member 81 moves forward to the locked position, the engaging boss 832 disengages from the clamp portion 431, the avoiding portion 833 faces the restricting member 43 and allows the restricting member 43 to move upward, and the second flat head portion engages with the second hole portion 4302 to lock the swing of the swing arm 21.
[0269] Referring to FIGS. 16 and 17, the second embodiment shows an exemplary connection among the first connecting member 82, the second release member 81, and the engaging member 83. More specifically, the first connecting member 82 has a curved shape, a first connecting pin 821 is disposed at a first end of the first connecting member 82, and the second release member 81 includes a second elongated hole 811 with which the first connecting pin 821 slidably engages. In some embodiments, the positions of the first connecting pin 821 on the first connecting member 82 and the second elongated hole 811 on the second release member 81 may be interchanged. A third elongated hole 822 is provided at a second end of the first connecting member 82, and a second connecting pin 8311 is provided on the connecting protrusion 831. The second connecting pin 8311 slidably engages with the third elongated hole 822. Depending on the embodiment, the positions of the second connecting pin 8311 on the connecting protrusion 831 and the third elongated hole 822 within the first connecting member 82 may be interchanged.
[0270] Referring to FIGS. 18 and 19, in order to easily operate the second release member 81, the second release member 81 is provided with a second push block 812 that protrudes with respect to the second mounting housing 16. The second push block 812 makes it convenient to manually change the front - rear position of the second release member 81. Correspondingly, the second mounting housing 16 is provided with a third opening 1605 through which the second push block 812 can move, and the third opening 1605 can also limit the movement of the second push block 812.
[0271] As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, in some embodiments, the upper end of the support pipe 11 extends into the second mounting housing 16 through the second sleeve portion 160 of the second mounting housing 16, and the fixing member 41 disposed at the upper end of the support pipe 11 is also correspondingly accommodated in the second mounting housing 16. The second mounting housing 16 is provided with a fourth opening 1606 through which the swing arm 21 can pass, and the fourth opening 1606 also helps to limit the swing angle of the swing arm 21.
[0272] In the first and second embodiments, the fixing member 41 is disposed inside the support pipe 11. However, in other embodiments, the fixing member 41 may not be disposed inside the support pipe 11. For example, the fixing member 41 is fixed outside the support pipe 11, the pivot 211 is pivotally connected to the fixing member 41 outside the support pipe 11, and it is not necessary for the support pipe 11 to be provided with the first through - hole 110 described above.
[0273] This embodiment is also provided with a swing mechanism. The swing mechanism is composed of a fixing member 41, a swing arm 21, and a contact member 42. Hereinafter, the description will focus on the differences between the swing mechanism of this embodiment and the swing mechanism of the first embodiment, and the same or similar points will not be repeatedly described.
[0274] The limiting member 43 is disposed within the limiting groove 411. More specifically, the limiting member 43 is, for example, a plate piece inserted into the limiting groove 411 of the fixing member 41, and the position of the limiting member 43 within the limiting groove 411 is adjustable. The limiting member 43 is provided with an opening 430 through which the pivot 211 can pass, and the opening 430 is provided with a first hole portion 4301 and a second hole portion 4302. The first hole portion 4301 is formed, for example, by butting two fan-shaped sub-holes. The first hole portion 4301 includes a first wall 43011 and a second wall 43012, and a first limiting surface 4111 and a second limiting surface 4112 are formed on the first wall 43011 and the second wall 43012. The second hole portion 4302 is configured to engage with the abutting member 42 to lock the swing arm.
[0275] The swing mechanism restricts the limit swing position (i.e., the swing angle range) of the swing arm 21 by the first hole portion 4301 that engages with the abutting member 42 by adjusting the position of the limiting member 43 within the limiting groove 411, and locks the swing arm 21 by the second hole portion 4302 that engages with the abutting member 42.
[0276] Further, the swing mechanism is provided with a second swing lock mechanism 8 and a second elastic member 45, and the position of the limiting member 43 within the limiting groove 411 can be adjusted.
[0277] The swing mechanism not only enables the swing arm 21 to swing within a preset angle range, but also can lock the swing arm 21 to stop the swing of the swing arm 21.
[0278] The Third Embodiment
[0279] Figs. 22 to 27 exemplarily show a sheet connection structure according to the third embodiment of the present invention, and this sheet connection structure is applied to a baby carrier. In the third embodiment, taking the sheet connection structure applied to the baby dining chair shown in the first and second embodiments as an example, the sheet connection structure will be described. It should be understood that the application range of the sheet connection structure is not limited to the baby dining chair, and also includes other types of baby carriers and other structures that require rapid disassembly of the sheet.
[0280] Referring to Figs. 22 and 23, the sheet connection structure includes a support frame 22, a first positioning groove 31 and a second positioning groove 32, and a locking device 9. The first positioning groove 31 and the second positioning groove 32 are formed on the first surface of the sheet 3. The support frame 22 includes a first support rod 221 and a second support rod 222 that are oppositely arranged. Referring to the foregoing description of the first embodiment, the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 each extend in the front-rear direction. Further, the support frame 22 further includes at least one cross bar, and the at least one cross bar includes, for example, a first cross bar 223, a second cross bar 224 and a third cross bar 225.
[0281] Referring to Fig. 23, on the first surface of the sheet 3, more specifically, on the bottom surface of the base 305, a first positioning groove 31 and a second positioning groove 32 are provided. The first positioning groove 31 is configured to accommodate the first support rod 221, and the second positioning groove 32 is configured to accommodate the second support rod 222. When the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 are respectively locked in the first positioning groove 31 and the second positioning groove 32, the sheet 3 is supported and the sheet 3 is restricted from moving in the left-right direction with respect to the support frame 22.
[0282] On the bottom surface of the seat 3, positioning grooves for accommodating at least one crossbar are further provided. For example, on the bottom surface of the base 305, a third positioning groove 331, a fourth positioning groove 332, and a fifth positioning groove 333 are also provided. The first crossbar 223, the second crossbar 224, and the third crossbar 225 are locked in the third positioning groove 331, the fourth positioning groove 332, and the fifth positioning groove 333, respectively. When these crossbars are locked in the corresponding positioning grooves, on the one hand, the seat 3 can be supported, and on the other hand, the seat 3 can be restricted from moving in the front-rear direction relative to the support frame 22. To facilitate the installation of each support rod and each crossbar, the first positioning groove 31, the second positioning groove 32, the third positioning groove 331, the fourth positioning groove 332, and the fifth positioning groove 333 communicate with each other. It should be understood that the front-rear movement of the seat 3 relative to the support frame 22 is not limited to the combination of the above-mentioned crossbars and positioning grooves and can be restricted in various ways.
[0283] In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, both ends of the support frame 22 are connected to the main frame 1 via the swing arms 21 so that the seat 3 has a swing mode. However, it should be noted that in some embodiments, the support frame 22 is directly or indirectly fixed to the main frame 1, for example, and the seat 3 does not have a swing mode. Also, in some embodiments, the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 do not extend in the front-rear direction but extend in the left-right direction. In this case, when the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 are locked in the first positioning groove 31 and the second positioning groove 32, respectively, the front-rear movement of the seat 3 relative to the support frame 22 is restricted, and the left-right movement of the seat 3 may be achieved by other appropriate structures.
[0284] Referring to FIGS. 22 and 23, on the second surface opposite to the first surface of the sheet 3, for example, the upper surface of the sheet 3, more specifically, the upper surface of the base 305, a first slide groove 33 and a second slide groove 34 are provided. The extending direction of the first slide groove 33 is substantially perpendicular and intersects with the extending direction of the first positioning groove 31, and the extending direction of the second slide groove 34 is substantially perpendicular and intersects with the extending direction of the second positioning groove 32.
[0285] Referring to FIGS. 22 and 23, the locking device 9 includes a first block member 91, a second block member 92, and an elastic element 93. Both the first block member 91 and the second block member 92 are slidably engaged with the sheet 3. For example, the first block member 91 is slidably disposed in the first slide groove 33, and the second block member 92 is slidably disposed in the second slide groove 34. The elastic element is configured to drive the first block member 91 to a locked position. In this case, the first block member 91 is disposed under the first support rod 221 to prevent the first support rod 221 from disengaging from the first positioning groove 31, that is, the first support rod 221 is locked between the first block member 91 and the sheet 3. The elastic element is also configured to drive the second block member 92 to a locked position. In this case, the second block member 92 is configured to prevent the second support rod 222 from disengaging from the second positioning groove 32. The second support rod 222 is fixed between the second block member 92 and the sheet 3. In this way, when the locking device 9 is in the locked state, the first block member 91 and the second block member 92 lock the connection relationship between the first support rod 221, the second support rod 222 and the sheet 3. In some embodiments, the first block member 91 and the second block member 92 are separately arranged or connected together.
[0286] Depending on the connection relationship between the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92, the elastic element 93 may include one or more springs. For example, when the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 are arranged separately, the elastic element includes one spring for driving the first blocking member 91 and another spring for driving the second blocking member 92. In the third embodiment, the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 are connected. In this case, the elastic element includes one spring, and the spring acts on the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member simultaneously.
[0287] Referring to FIGS. 24 to 27, when it is necessary to remove the seat 3 from the support frame 22, the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 are driven to move in the opening direction N, and the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 simultaneously exit from the first positioning groove 31 and the second positioning groove 32, and the locking device 9 switches to the unlocked state shown in FIGS. 26 and 27. At this time, the seat 3 is lifted and can be easily removed from the support frame 22.
[0288] When it is necessary to install the seat 3 on the support frame 22, due to the action of an external force, the locking device 9 switches to the unlocked state, the first support rod 221 is locked in the first positioning groove 31, the second support rod 222 is locked in the second positioning groove 32, and finally the external force is removed, and the elastic element 93 automatically drives the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 to be inserted into the first positioning groove 31 and the second positioning groove 32, and the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 move to the locking position. As described above, in this case, the locking device 9 switches to the locked state shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, and the seat 3 is locked on the support frame 22. The seat connection structure provided in the third embodiment has a simple structure and enables rapid disassembly or assembly of the seat 3 and the support frame 22.
[0289] FIG. 23 shows an embodiment in which the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 are integrally connected. More specifically, the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 are integrally connected by a connection bracket 94. To accommodate the connection bracket 94, a third slide groove 35 is also provided on the upper surface of the sheet 3, and the first slide groove 33 and the second slide groove 34 communicate with each other through the third slide groove 35. The groove depth of the third slide groove 35 is shallower than the groove depth of the first slide groove 33 and the groove depth of the second slide groove 34. The connection bracket 94 is disposed in the third slide groove 35, and first surfaces 941 and second surfaces 942 that are bent downward with respect to the connection bracket 94 are provided at both ends of the connection bracket 94, respectively. The first blocking member 91 is connected to the first surface 941, and the second blocking member 92 is connected to the second surface 942. The first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 are bent in the same direction. In an embodiment not shown, the elastic element 93 includes at least one spring disposed in the first slide groove 33 and / or the second slide groove 34, and the at least one spring abuts against the first surface 941 and / or the second surface 942 to maintain the locking device 9 in a locked state.
[0290] Referring to FIG. 22, the connection bracket 94 is provided with a mounting hole 940, and a fastener 945 is mounted in the mounting hole 940. The fastener 945 is, for example, a bolt. A fourth elongated hole 351 is provided in the bottom wall of the third slide groove 35, and the fastener 945 is slidably engaged with the fourth elongated hole 351. The first end portion (threaded end portion) of the fastener 945 is configured to pass through the mounting hole 940 and the fourth elongated hole 351 in sequence and extend downward.

[0295] Fourth Embodiment
[0296] FIGS. 28 to 29 exemplarily show a sheet connection structure according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The difference between the sheet connection structure provided in the fourth embodiment and the sheet connection structure provided in the third embodiment described above lies in the mounting of the locking device 9. When there is no contradiction, for the components and the connection relationships between the components in this embodiment, reference can be made to the description of the third embodiment above.
[0297] Referring to FIG. 28, in the fourth embodiment, the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 of the locking device 9 are not integrally connected, but are separated from each other. The first slide groove 33 and the second slide groove 34 for installing the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 are formed in the main groove 304, and the groove depth of the main groove 304 is constant. When the first positioning groove 31 and the second positioning groove 32 extend in the front-rear direction, the main groove 304 extends in the left-right direction, and the extending direction of the main groove 304 is substantially orthogonal to the extending directions of the first positioning groove 31 and the second positioning groove 32. The first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 are slidably engaged with the main groove 304. When a thrust force in the opening direction N (shown in FIG. 31) acts on the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92, the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 move in a direction approaching each other, and the locking device 9 switches to the unlocked state shown in FIGS. 32 and 33. The elastic element 93 includes a first spring 931 and a second spring 932. The first spring 931 and the second spring 932 are arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction and are respectively sandwiched between the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92. The first spring 931 and the second spring 932 are configured to drive the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 to separate from each other, whereby the locking device 9 switches to the locked state shown in FIGS. 30 and 31. In some embodiments, one of the first spring 931 and the second spring 932 is selectively arranged between the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92, and this also obtains the effect of driving the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 to separate from each other.
[0298] Referring to FIGS. 28 to 30, the locking device 9 also includes a second connecting member 96. The second connecting member 96 is disposed in the main groove 304 and is operatively connected to the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92. When one of the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 is pushed and one of the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 is released, the second connecting member 96 causes the other of the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 to be pushed accordingly, and the other of the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 is synchronously released.

For the interrelationship of these components, reference may be made to the description of the first embodiment, which will not be repeated here.
[0311] Referring to FIGS. 36, 37, and 49, in the fifth embodiment, the swing bracket assemblies 2 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the main frame 1, and the left and right sides of the seat 3 are connected to the main frame 1 via the corresponding swing bracket assemblies 2. In some embodiments, each swing bracket assembly 2 includes a swing arm 21 and an auxiliary swing arm 29. The auxiliary swing arm 29 is parallel to the swing arm 21, and the auxiliary swing arm 29 assists the swing arm 21 in supporting the seat 3. To facilitate the installation of the swing bracket assembly 2, the main frame 1 further includes a third mounting housing 17, and the third mounting housing 17 is installed on the main frame 1. More specifically, the third mounting housing 17 is attached to the support pipe 11, and the upper ends of the swing arm 21 and the auxiliary swing arm 29 are respectively pivotally connected to the third mounting housing 17.
[0312] Referring to FIG. 40, in some embodiments, the third mounting housing 17 is formed by butting a fifth housing portion 171 and a sixth housing portion 172. For example, the fifth housing portion 171 and the sixth housing portion 172 are joined and fixed with screws 179. The fifth housing portion 171 is closer to the longitudinal center plane of the baby carrier than the sixth housing portion 172. The sixth housing portion 172 has, for example, a third sleeve portion 170, and the third sleeve portion 170 fits onto the end of the support pipe 11. When there is no contradiction, for the connection mode between the support pipe 11 and the third sleeve portion 170, reference can be made to the connection mode between the first sleeve portion 150 and the support pipe 11 in the first embodiment. An operation button 174 (see FIG. 36) is provided on the sixth housing portion 172, and for the function of the operation button 174, reference can be made to the function of the operation button 154 in the first embodiment.
[0313] Referring to FIGS. 36 and 37, the upper ends of the swing arm 21 and the auxiliary swing arm 29 are pivotally connected to the third mounting housing 17 respectively, and the lower ends of the swing arm 21 and the auxiliary swing arm 29 are pivotally connected to the seat 3 respectively. The swing arm 21 and the auxiliary swing arm 29 that are parallel to each other form two opposite sides of a parallelogram. During swinging, the swing arm 21 and the auxiliary swing arm 29 drive the seat 3 to swing, and the seat 3 remains horizontal during swinging, providing a more comfortable and safe riding experience for the infant sitting on the seat 3. The seat 3 remains horizontal during swinging, whereby the swing angle range of the swing arm 21 and the auxiliary swing arm 29 is larger than the swing angle range illustrated in the above embodiments. For example, the maximum angle α at which the swing arm 21 and the auxiliary swing arm 29 swing backward with respect to the starting position (shown in FIG. 34, and the swing arm 21 and the auxiliary swing arm 29 in the starting position are substantially perpendicular to the ground) is greater than 20 degrees (shown in FIG. 36), for example 25 degrees or greater than 25 degrees. The maximum angle β at which the swing arm 21 and the auxiliary swing arm 29 swing forward is also greater than 20 degrees (shown in FIG. 35), for example 25 degrees or greater than 25 degrees.
[0314] Referring to FIG. 37, in order to facilitate the connection between each swing bracket assembly 2 and the seat 3, in some embodiments, each swing bracket assembly 2 further includes a connector 28. The following description is exemplified by the connection relationship between the left swing bracket assembly 2 and the seat 3. The structure of the right swing bracket assembly 2 is symmetrical to the structure of the left swing bracket assembly 2 and will not be repeatedly described below.
[0315] Referring to FIGS. 40, 45 and 53, the lower ends of the swing arm 21 and the auxiliary swing arm 29 are pivotally connected to the connector 28, respectively. For example, a pivot 219 is provided at the lower end of the swing arm 21, and a pivot 291 (shown in FIG. 53) is provided at the lower end of the auxiliary swing arm 29. The pivot 219 and the pivot 291 are parallel to each other, and the pivot 219 and the pivot 291 are inserted into corresponding mounting holes 2810 of the connector 28, respectively. The connector 28 is provided with a protrusion 280 extending upward, and a locking portion 281 is provided on the wall of the protrusion 280. The locking portion 281 is, for example, an elastic stopper block. Referring to FIGS. 40, 45 and 53, as shown in FIG. 50, a groove 3062 for accommodating the protrusion 280 is formed at the bottom of the seat 3, and a locking hole 30621 is formed on the wall of the groove 3062. Referring to FIG. 54, when it is necessary to connect the seat 3 and the swing bracket assembly 2, the protrusion 280 of the connector 28 is inserted into the groove 3062, and the locking portion 281 engages with the locking hole 30621.
[0316] The connection form between the connector 28 and the seat 3 is not limited to the above example. For example, in some embodiments, the positions of the locking portion 281 on the protrusion 280 and the locking hole 30621 on the seat 3 may be interchanged. In some embodiments, the connection between the connector 28 and the seat 3 may be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection, and the connection between the swing arm 21 and the connector 28 and the connection between the auxiliary swing arm 29 and the connector 28 may be detachable connections or non-detachable connections, respectively. Also, in the above embodiments, the swing arm 21 and the auxiliary swing arm 29 are connected to the seat 3 via the connector 28. However, it should be noted that in some embodiments, the swing arm 21 and the auxiliary swing arm 29 are directly and pivotally connected to the seat 3, respectively.
[0317] Figures 40 and 53 show an example of the connection structure between the auxiliary swing arm 29 and the third mounting housing 17. A pivot 292 is provided at the upper end of the auxiliary swing arm 29, and the pivot 292 and the pivot 291 are parallel to each other. After passing through the hole 1703 of the fifth housing portion 171, the pivot 292 is inserted into the hole socket 1721 of the sixth housing portion 172. The shaft sleeve 293 is fitted to the pivot 292 and fixed to the pivot 292 by, for example, a fastener 295. The shaft sleeve 293 is made of a wear-resistant material with a low coefficient of friction and can reduce the friction between the pivot 292 and the third mounting housing 17. The shaft sleeve 293 engages with the chamber of the third mounting housing 17 to limit the axial position of the pivot 292.
[0318] Referring to FIGS. 36 and 50, an exemplary structure of the seat 3 is shown. The structure of the seat 3 is the same as the structure of the seat 3 in the first embodiment. The seat 3 includes a base 305, two safety fences 306, a backrest 307, a dinner plate 308 or a front armrest, and a footrest 309. When there is no contradiction, for the connection relationship between these components of the seat 3, reference can be made to the structure of the seat 3 in the first embodiment, and it will not be repeatedly described below.
[0319] In some embodiments, the swing restriction mechanism 4 (shown in FIG. 40) is disposed between at least one of the swing arms 21 and the main frame 1. The swing restriction mechanism 4 is configured to limit the swing angle of the swing arm 21, thereby controlling the swing range of the seat 3 and realizing the riding safety and comfort of the seat 3 in the swing mode. Referring to FIGS. 36, 38 to 40, in the fifth embodiment, two swing restriction mechanisms 4 are disposed on the left and right sides between the respective swing arms 21 and the main frame 1. For the sake of convenience of explanation, only the exemplary structure of the swing restriction mechanism 4 between the left swing arm 21 and the main frame 1 will be described. The swing restriction mechanism 4 between the right swing arm 21 and the support pipe 11 is symmetric to the left swing restriction mechanism 4 and will not be further described below.
[0320] Referring to FIGS. 38 to 40, the support pipe 11 is provided with a first through hole 110 extending across the wall of the support pipe 11, and the first through hole 110 is adjacent to the upper end of the support pipe 11. The swing restriction mechanism 4 includes a fixing member 41, and the fixing member 41 is fixed to the main frame 1. More specifically, the fixing member 41 is sleeved in the first through hole 110 and fixed in the third mounting housing 17. In some embodiments, the fixing member 41 may be fixed to the main frame 1 through other structures. For example, the third mounting housing 17 is installed on the support pipe 11, and the fixing member 41 is not directly sleeved in the first through hole 110 of the support pipe 11, but is installed on other appropriate structures of the third mounting housing 17, and the fixing member 41 is indirectly installed on the support pipe 11 of the main frame 1.
[0321] Referring to FIGS. 38 to 40, the circumferential rotation of the fixing member 41 is restricted. In some embodiments, a second axial guide portion 114 is formed on the hole wall of the first through hole 110. The second axial guide portion 114 is configured to guide the axial movement of the fixing member 41 during assembly and prevent the fixing member 41 from rotating relative to the support pipe 11 after assembly. In some embodiments, the second axial guide portion 114 includes, for example, a concave opening formed on the hole wall of the first through hole 110, and a protruding bar 4107 that engages with the concave opening is disposed on the outer periphery of the fixing member 41. It should be noted that there are many implementation forms of the second axial guide portion 114. In some embodiments, the second axial guide portion 114 includes, for example, a protrusion formed on the hole wall of the first through hole 110, and a corresponding slide groove that engages with the protrusion is formed on the outer periphery of the fixing member 41.
[0322] Referring to FIGS. 38 to 40, the fixing member 41 has a limiting groove 411. Since the extending direction of the limiting groove 411 is parallel to the axial direction of the pivot 211 disposed at the upper end of the swing arm 21, the extending direction of the limiting groove 411 is also referred to as the axial direction of the limiting groove 411. The limiting groove 411 has, for example, a groove opening 41101 and a groove bottom 41102, and the groove opening 41101 faces the fifth housing portion 171. In some embodiments, a sleeve 1712 is provided on the fifth housing portion 171. The sleeve 1712 is inserted into the limiting groove 411 of the fixing member 41 through the groove opening 41101, and the sleeve 1712 is configured to support the fixing member 41. In some embodiments, the groove bottom 41102 is located inside the fifth housing portion 171. Passing through the first through hole 110, the groove bottom 41102 may be restricted by a flange 1105 formed on the first through hole 110. In some embodiments, the groove bottom 41102 may directly pass through the first through hole 110 and be restricted by the sixth housing portion 172, for example. The groove bottom 41102 has, for example, a central hole 41100 (shown in FIG. 41).
[0323] Referring to FIGS. 45 and 46, a pivot 211 is provided at the upper end of the swing arm 21. The pivot 211 is non-rotatably connected to the swing arm 21 and is rotatable with respect to the fixed member 41. In some embodiments, the pivot 211 and the swing arm 21 are integrally formed. For example, the pivot 211 is arranged to pass through the limiting groove 411. Referring to FIGS. 38 to 46, a pivot 211 is provided at the upper end of the swing arm 21. The pivot 211 is non-rotatably connected to the swing arm 21 and is rotatable with respect to the fixed member 41. As shown in FIG. 41, the end of the pivot 211 passes through the hole 1704 of the fifth housing portion 171 and enters the limiting groove 411, and then exits from the central hole 41100 of the groove bottom 41102. In some embodiments, a positioning groove 2117 is formed in the pivot 211, and an axial limiting member such as a spring 27 engages with the positioning groove 2117. The spring 27 is arranged outside the limiting groove 411 and abuts against the groove bottom 41102 to limit the axial movement of the pivot 211. When the swing arm 21 receives a swinging force, the swing arm 21 swings about the axis of the pivot 211 together with the pivot 211.
[0324] In an embodiment not shown, the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112 may be formed on the inner wall of the limiting groove 411. The abutting member 42 is disposed on the pivot 211, the abutting member 42 is non-rotatably connected to the pivot 211, and is disposed between the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112. The abutting member 42 limits the swing angle of the swing arm 21 by abutting against the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112. Refer to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 40, in some embodiments, the abutting member 42 and the pivot 211 have a separate structure, and a locking groove 2116 is formed in the pivot 211. An engaging opening 420 is provided in the abutting member 42, and the abutting member 42 is locked to the locking groove 2116 through the engaging opening 420. When the seat 3 is in the swing mode, the abutting member 42 limits the swing angle of the swing arm 21 by abutting against the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112. When the swing angle of the swing arm 21 is limited, the swing angle of the auxiliary swing arm 29 is also limited.
[0325] Referring to FIGS. 38 to 40, in some embodiments, the limiting groove 411 has a limiting member 43. More specifically, the limiting member 43 is, for example, a plate-like member inserted into the limiting groove 411. The limiting member 43 is formed with a first limiting surface 4111 and a second limiting surface 4112 configured to abut against the abutting member 42. In some embodiments, the limiting member 43 is slidably engaged with the limiting groove 411, and the limiting member 43 can further lock the swing of the swing arm 21 by changing the position of the limiting member 43 within the limiting groove 411.
[0326] Referring to FIG. 43, the limiting member 43 includes a first region 43a and a second region 43b, and the first region 43a and the second region 43b are arranged in sequence in the extending direction of the limiting groove 411. The first region 43a has a first limiting surface 4111 and a second limiting surface 4112, and the second region 43b is engaged with the abutting member 42 to lock the swing of the swing arm 21. The limiting member 43 has a first position or a second position. When the limiting member 43 is switched between the first position and the second position, the first region 43a and the second region 43b are selectively engaged with the abutting member 42. Referring to FIG. 43, the limiting member 43 includes a first region 43a and a second region 43b, and the first region 43a and the second region 43b are selectively engaged with the abutting member 42. Referring to FIG. 45, when the limiting member 43 moves to the first position, the first region 43a is engaged with the abutting member 42, the swing arm 21 can swing, and the seat 3 is in the swing mode. The abutting member 42 abuts against the first limiting surface 4111 or the second limiting surface 4112 as the swing arm 21 swings, and the swing angle of the swing arm 21 is controlled. Referring to FIG. 46, when the limiting member 43 moves to the second position, the second region 43b is engaged with the abutting member 42, the swing arm 21 is locked, and the seat 3 switches from the swing mode to the fixed mode.
[0327] Referring to FIG. 43, in some embodiments, the limiting member 43 includes a force receiving plate 435 and two arms 436 extending from the force receiving plate 435. Referring to FIGS. 38 and 39, the abutting member 42 is adjacent to the groove opening 41101, the force receiving plate 435 is adjacent to the groove bottom 41102, and the two arms 436 extend from the force receiving plate 435 toward the groove opening 41101, that is, the two arms 436 extend along the axial direction of the limiting groove 411. The force receiving plate 435 is configured to receive a driving force for axially moving the limiting member 43. The force receiving plate 435 has a central hole 4350, and the pivot 211 is configured to pass through the central hole 4350.
[0328] Referring to FIG. 43, the outer shape of the force receiving plate 435 is non-circular so that the restricting member 43 does not rotate relative to the fixing member 41. Referring to FIG. 41, the side wall 41131 of the restricting groove 411 has a first axial guide portion 4113 that slidably engages with the force receiving plate 435, and the first axial guide portion 4113 is configured to guide the axial movement of the restricting member 43. The first region 43a and the second region 43b are formed at different axial positions of each arm 436. By controlling the reciprocating movement between the first position and the second position of the restricting member 43, the first region 43a and the second region 43b selectively engage with the abutting member 42. In FIG. 42, the force receiving plate 435 has a first axial guide portion 4113 that slidably engages with the side wall 41131 of the restricting groove 411. As shown in FIG. 43, the first region 43a is closer to the force receiving plate 435 than the second region 43b. Depending on the embodiment, the axial positions of the first region 43a and the second region 43b may be interchanged so that the first region 43a is farther from the force receiving plate 435 than the second region 43b.
[0329] Referring to FIGS. 38 and 42, the abutting member 42 is disposed, for example, between the step 4106 in the limiting groove 411 and the end of the sleeve 1712, and the axial movement of the abutting member 42 is restricted. In some embodiments, the axial position of the abutting member 42 may be fixed by other suitable structures. Two first groove portions 427 are formed on the outer periphery of the abutting member 42, and each first groove portion 427 includes a first end wall 4271 and a second end wall 4272 facing each other. The two arms 436 of the restricting member 43 are each configured to pass through the two first groove portions 427. Referring to FIGS. 44 and 45, the abutting member 42 is disposed between the step 4106 in the limiting groove 411 and the end of the sleeve 1712, and the axial movement of the abutting member 42 is restricted. As shown in FIG. 45, when the first region 43a engages with the abutting member 42, the swing arm 21 swings, and the abutting member 42 rotates about the axis of the pivot 211. When the first end wall 4271 swings and abuts against each first restricting surface 4111 of the corresponding first region 43a, the swing arm 21 cannot continue to swing in the first direction T1. Similarly, when the second end wall 4272 swings and abuts against each second restricting surface 4112 of the corresponding first region 43a, the swing arm 21 cannot continue to swing in the second direction T2. The first direction T1 and the second direction T2 are opposite. It should be noted that the two arms 436 and the two first groove portions 427 are given as examples for illustration, but in some embodiments, the number of the arms 436 and the number of the first groove portions 427 may be, for example, one or more respectively.
[0330] Referring to FIG. 43, a first clamp block 4363 is disposed in the second region 43b of each arm 436, and each first clamp block 4363 extends radially inward. Referring to FIGS. 42 and 44, the contact member 42 may be provided with two second groove portions 428, and the two second groove portions 428 are respectively formed at the groove bottoms 4273 of the two first groove portions 427. Referring to FIG. 46, when the second region 43b engages with the contact member 42, the two second groove portions 428 are respectively configured to engage with the first clamp blocks 4363. At this time, the contact member 42 and the swing arm 21 are locked and cannot swing. Here, two second groove portions 428 and two first clamp blocks 4363 are illustrated, but depending on the embodiment, the number of the second groove portions 428 and the number of the first clamp blocks 4363 may each be, for example, one or more.
[0331] Referring to FIG. 51, in some embodiments, each set of the first groove portion 427 and the second groove portion 428 coincide with each other. At this time, referring to FIG. 52, the structure of the first region 43a of each arm 436 does not change, and the second region 43b of each arm 436 can include a second clamp block 4365 that extends in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of each arm 436. When the first region 43a of each arm 436 engages with the corresponding first groove portion 427, the swing arm 21 can swing. When the second region 43b of each arm 436 engages with the first groove portion 427 (which also corresponds to the second groove portion 428), each second clamp block 4365 engages with the corresponding first groove portion 427, and the swinging of the swing arm 21 is locked.
[0332] Referring to FIGS. 38 to 40, the third elastic element 46 is disposed within the limiting groove 411, and the third elastic element 46 is configured to apply a driving force to the force receiving plate 435 to move the force receiving plate 435 toward the groove bottom 41102. In some embodiments, the third elastic element 46 is sandwiched, for example, between the abutting member 42 and the force receiving plate 435. Further, the baby carrier also includes a third swing lock mechanism 47, and the third swing lock mechanism 47 is operatively connected to the force receiving plate 435 and drives the limiting member 43 to switch between a first position and a second position. That is, due to the actions of the third elastic element 46 and the third lock mechanism 47, the force receiving plate 435 moves axially along the limiting groove 411, and the limiting member 43 moves to the first position or the second position. As described above, when the limiting member 43 is in the first position, the first region 43a of the arm 436 engages with the abutting member 42, and the seat 3 is in the swing mode. When the limiting member 43 is in the second position, the second region 43b of the arm 436 engages with the abutting member 42, the swing arm 21 cannot swing, and the seat 3 is in the fixed mode.
[0333] Referring to FIGS. 38 to 41, FIGS. 47, and FIGS. 48, an exemplary embodiment of the third swing lock mechanism 47 is shown. The third swing lock mechanism 47 includes a driving wheel 471. The driving wheel 471 is fitted to the pivot 211 through a central hole 4710 and is disposed between the force receiving plate 435 and the groove bottom 41102. The driving wheel 471 abuts against one side surface facing the groove bottom 41102 of the force receiving plate 435. A ratchet portion 4117 is provided on the wall of the limiting groove 411, and a ratchet groove portion 4711 is provided on the driving wheel 471. The ratchet groove portion 4711 has a first ratchet groove 47111 having a first groove depth H1 and a second ratchet groove 47112 having a second groove depth H2 in the circumferential direction in sequence. The first groove depth H1 and the second groove depth H2 are not equal. The number of the ratchet portion 4117, the first ratchet groove 47111, and the second ratchet groove 47112 can be designed as required. For example, in some embodiments, four ratchet portions 4117 are provided, and correspondingly, four first ratchet grooves 47111 and four second ratchet grooves 47112 are provided.
[0334] Referring to FIGS. 38, 39 and 47, in some embodiments, the first groove depth H1 is smaller than the second groove depth H2. When the drive wheel 471 receives the pressing force S, it moves axially and rotates circumferentially, and the ratchet portion 4117 engages with the first ratchet groove 47111 and the second ratchet groove 47112 in sequence. In some embodiments, when the ratchet portion 4117 engages with the first ratchet groove 47111, the limiting member 43 is in the first position as shown in FIG. 45. When the ratchet portion 4117 engages with the second ratchet groove 47112, the limiting member 43 is in the second position as shown in FIG. 46. In some embodiments, when the ratchet portion 4117 engages with the first ratchet groove 47111, the limiting member 43 is in the second position, and when the ratchet portion 4117 engages with the second ratchet groove 47112, the limiting member 43 is in the first position.
[0335] As shown with reference to FIGS. 41, 47, and 48, in order to easily drive the drive wheel 471, the third swing lock mechanism 47 further includes a press member 472. The press member 472 has a press portion 4721 and a push portion 4722 extending from the press portion 4721. A mounting hole 41103 is formed in the groove bottom 41102 of the restriction groove 411, and the push portion 4722 extends into the restriction groove 411 through the mounting hole 41103. The push portion 4722 is configured to apply a pressing force S to the bevel 47101 of the first ratchet groove 47111 of the drive wheel 471 or the bevel 47102 of the second ratchet groove 47112 of the drive wheel 471. The drive wheel 471 simultaneously performs axial movement and circumferential rotation, and the ratchet portion 4722 engages with the groove bottom 41102 of the restriction groove 411. The 4117 of the fixing member 41 sequentially engages with the first ratchet groove 47111 and the second ratchet groove 47112. Referring to FIGS. 41 and 49, in some embodiments, the push portion 4722 includes two push arms 47220 extending from the push portion 4721. A pressing step 47221 is formed at the center of each push arm 47220, and is configured to apply a pressing force S to the bevel 47101 or the bevel 47102 of the drive wheel 471. It should be understood that in some embodiments, the number of the push arms 47220 is not limited to two. Referring to FIG. 43, an avoidance opening 4351 is formed at a position on the force receiving plate 435 corresponding to the position of each push arm 47220.
[0336] Here, the process of switching the seat 3 between the fixed mode and the swing mode will be described in detail by combining FIGS. 41, 45 to 49.
[0337] When the seat 3 is in the fixed mode where it cannot swing, the swing arm 21 cannot swing, the ratchet portion 4117 engages with the second ratchet groove 47112, the restricting member 43 is in the second position as shown in Fig. 46, and the first clamp block 4363 engages with the second groove portion 428. At this time, when the pressing member 472 is pressed once, the pressing step 47221 of the push portion 4722 engages with the inclined surface 47102, and the driving wheel 471 is rotationally driven in the circumferential direction while moving in the axial direction. Due to the axial movement of the driving wheel 471, the restricting member 43 moves away from the second position, and due to the circumferential rotation of the driving wheel 471, the ratchet portion 4117 faces the inclined surface 47101 of the first ratchet groove 47111. Next, when the pressing member 472 is released, the third elastic element 46 exerts a driving force, moves the force receiving plate 435 to the groove bottom 41102, and pushes the driving wheel 471 in the reverse direction. While the inclined surface 47101 of the first ratchet groove 47111 of the driving wheel 471 is in contact with the ratchet portion 4117, the driving wheel 471 rotates until the first ratchet groove 47111 engages with the ratchet portion 4117. At this time, the restricting member 43 reaches the first position, the swing arm 21 becomes swingable, and the seat 3 switches to the swing mode.
[0338] Similarly, when the seat 3 is in the swing mode, when the pressing member 472 is pressed once, the ratchet portion 4117 disengages from the first ratchet groove 47111 and engages with the second ratchet groove 47112, the restricting member 43 reaches the second position and the swing arm 21 cannot swing, and the seat 3 switches to the fixed mode.
[0339] In some embodiments, the positions of the ratchet portion 4117 on the wall surface of the limiting groove 411 and the ratchet groove portion 4711 on the driving wheel 471 may be interchanged. That is, the ratchet portion 4117 is disposed on the driving wheel 471, and the first ratchet groove 47111 and the second ratchet groove 47112 are disposed on the wall surface of the limiting groove 411. In this case, when the driving wheel 471 receives the pressing force S and moves axially and rotates circumferentially, as the driving wheel 471 rotates, the ratchet portion 4117 sequentially engages with the first ratchet groove 47111 and the second ratchet groove 47112, thereby also obtaining the effect of controlling the limiting member 43 to be switched between the first position and the second position.
[0340] Referring to FIGS. 38 and 39, in some embodiments, the third swing lock mechanism 47 further includes a restoring spring 473. In this case, each time the pressing member 472 is pressed, the restoring spring 473 drives to reset the pressing member 472, and the pressing member 472 is reset to a position convenient for the next pressing.
[0341] Referring to FIGS. 38, 39, and 49, in some embodiments, hooks 47222 are formed at both ends of the extrusion arm. The axial distance between the pressing step 47221 and the hook 47222 is greater than the axial length of the driving wheel 471, and the driving wheel 471 is located between the pressing step 47221 and the hook 47222. The hook 47222 is configured to be hooked on the driving wheel 471 after the pressing force S is released, limit the moving distance of the pressing member 472 during the reset process, prevent the pressing step 47221 from being too far away from the driving wheel 471, and lead to a decrease in the next pressing stroke of the pressing member 472. In some embodiments, each push arm has a protruding finger 47223, and the protruding finger 47223 is located in the limiting groove 411 and is limited by the groove bottom 41102, whereby the pressing member 472 can be prevented from disengaging from the fixing member 41.
[0342] Referring to FIGS. 40 and 47, a protruding ring 4713 is provided on the side of the force receiving plate 435 of the driving wheel 471 facing it, and the outer diameter of the protruding ring 4713 is smaller than the outer diameter of the driving wheel 471. A gap for the hook 47222 to catch is provided between the outer periphery of the protruding ring 4713 and the outer periphery of the driving wheel 471. The protruding ring 4713 and the force receiving plate 435 are always in contact.
[0343] Referring to FIGS. 37 and 40, in some embodiments, a limiting recess 1701 is formed on the outside of the third mounting housing 17. The limiting recess 1701 has a first limiting wall 17011 and a second limiting wall 17012. The swing arm 21 swings between the first limiting wall 17011 and the second limiting wall 17012. The first limiting wall 17011 and the second limiting wall 17012 can also function to limit the swing angle of the swing arm 21. In some embodiments, a limiting recess 1702 is also formed on the outside of the third mounting housing 17, and the limiting recess 1702 corresponds to the auxiliary swing arm 29. The limiting recess 1702 has a third limiting arm 17021 and a fourth limiting arm 17022, and the auxiliary swing arm 29 swings between the third limiting arm 17021 and the fourth limiting arm 17022. The third limiting arm 17021 and the fourth limiting arm 17022 function to limit the swing angle of the auxiliary swing arm 29.
[0344] Also, in some embodiments, the third swing lock mechanism 47 may not be provided, and the first swing lock mechanism 6 of the first embodiment is arranged in the third mounting housing 17, whereby the swing of the swing arm 21 is locked and the seat 3 switches from the swing mode to the fixed mode.
[0345] In the above embodiments, the swing limiting mechanism 4 is arranged between the swing arm 21 and the main frame 1. However, in other embodiments, the swing limiting mechanism 4 may be arranged between the auxiliary swing arm 29 and the main frame 1. Also, in some embodiments, if the main frame 1 has a structure that can position the fixing member 41, the swing limiting mechanism 4 may not be arranged on the support pipe 11.
[0346] Further, the swing arms 21 and the auxiliary swing arm 29 provided in parallel with each other in this embodiment may be applied to the baby carriers provided in the first and second embodiments. As a result, the seat 3 can be kept horizontal while swinging in the swing mode.
[0347] A swing mechanism is also provided in this embodiment. The swing mechanism includes a fixed member 41, a swing arm 21, and a contact member 42. Hereinafter, the description will focus on the differences between the swing mechanism of this embodiment and the swing mechanism of the first embodiment, and the same or similar points will not be repeatedly described.
[0348] The extending direction of the limiting groove 411 of the fixed member 41 is parallel to the axial direction of the pivot 211. The limiting member 43 is disposed in the limiting groove 411 of the fixed member 41. More specifically, the limiting member 43 is, for example, a plate piece inserted into the limiting groove 411 of the fixed member 41. The position of the limiting member 43 in the limiting groove 411 is adjustable. The limiting member 43 includes a first region 43a and a second region 43b. The first region 43a has a first limiting surface 4111 and a second limiting surface 4112. The second region 43b is adapted to engage with the contact member 42 to lock the swing arm 21. The limiting member 43 is slidably engaged with the limiting groove 411 and has a first position and a second position. When the limiting member 43 is in the first position, the first region 43a engages with the contact member 42, and the swing arm 21 can swing within a preset angular range. When the limiting member 43 is in the second position, the second region 43b engages with the contact member 42, and the swing arm 21 is locked and cannot swing. For the realization of the limiting member 43 and the contact member 42, reference can be made to the above description.
[0349] The swing mechanism may further be provided with a third swing lock mechanism 47 and a third elastic element 46 for adjusting the position of the limiting member 43 in the limiting groove 411.
[0350] The swing mechanism can not only swing the swing arm 21 within a preset angular range, but also lock the swing arm 21 so that the swing arm 21 does not swing.
[0351] Sixth Embodiment
[0352] Figures 55 to 72 schematically show the structure of the baby carrier according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention. Similar to the baby carriers of the first, second, and fifth embodiments, the baby carrier of the sixth embodiment will also be described by taking a baby dining chair as an example. The type of the baby carrier is not limited to the baby dining chair. Referring to FIG. 55, the baby carrier includes, for example, a main frame 1, a swing bracket assembly 2, and a seat 3.
[0353] Referring to FIG. 55, the structure of the main frame 1 of the sixth embodiment is similar to the structure of the main frame 1 of the first embodiment.

For the interrelationship of these components of the main frame 1, reference can be made to the description of the first embodiment, and it will not be repeated here.
[0354] Referring to FIG. 55, the structure of the seat 3 is similar to the structure of the seat 3 of the first embodiment. The seat 3 includes a base 305, two safety fences 306, a backrest 307, a dinner plate 308 or a front armrest, and a footrest 309, etc. When there is no contradiction, for the connection relationship between these components of the seat 3, reference can be made to the description of the first embodiment, and it will not be repeated here.
[0355] Referring to FIG. 55, the left and right sides of the seat 3 are pivotally connected to the main frame 1 via swing bracket assemblies 2 respectively, and the seat 3 can swing back and forth relative to the main frame 1, and the seat 3 has a swing mode. In some embodiments, the swing bracket assembly 2 is pivotally connected to the main frame 1, and the swing bracket assembly 2 is pivotally connected to the seat 3. The baby carrier also includes a seat holding mechanism 39 (shown in FIG. 62) disposed between the main frame 1 and the seat 3. The seat 3 swings back and forth relative to the main frame 1 by the swing bracket assembly 2, and the seat holding mechanism 39 is configured to control the seat 3 to be kept horizontal while the seat 3 swings back and forth relative to the main frame 1, so that the baby sitting on the seat 3 does not tilt forward or backward with the swing, and the risk of the baby falling off the seat 3 can be effectively avoided. Further, by keeping the seat 3 horizontal during the swing, the items on the dinner plate 308 can also be effectively prevented from falling.
[0356] Referring to FIG. 56, in some embodiments, the main frame 1 has a first pivot portion 183, and is pivotally connected to the upper end of the swing bracket assembly 2 via the first pivot portion 183. To conveniently arrange the first pivot portion 183, the main frame 1 also includes a fourth mounting housing 18, and the first pivot portion 183 is attached to the fourth mounting housing 18. In some embodiments, the fourth mounting housing 18 is attached to, for example, the support pipe 11 of the main frame 1. In some embodiments, depending on the change in the structure of the main frame 1, the installation position of the fourth mounting housing 18 may also be changed.
[0357] Referring to FIG. 56, in some embodiments, the fourth mounting housing 18 may be formed by butting the seventh housing portion 181 and the eighth housing portion 182. For example, the seventh housing portion 181 and the eighth housing portion 182 are joined to each other and then fixed with screws 189. The seventh housing portion 181 is closer to the longitudinal center plane of the baby carrier (or the center plane of left - right symmetry) than the eighth housing portion 182. The eighth housing portion 182 has, for example, a fourth sleeve portion 180, and the fourth sleeve portion 180 fits onto the end of the support pipe 11. In some embodiments, the fourth sleeve portion 180 and the support pipe 11 are fixedly connected by a fastener such as a screw. An operation button 184 is provided on the eighth housing portion 182 and is configured to, for example, release the locking relationship between the support pipe 11 and the front leg support portion 101 and to extend and retract the support pipe 11 relative to the front leg support portion 101 so as to adjust the height of the seat 3.
[0358] Referring to FIG. 57, in some embodiments, the first pivot portion 183 includes a mounting portion 1832 and a first pivot ring 1833. The mounting portion 1832 is disposed on the fourth mounting housing 18, and the first pivot ring 1833 is connected to the fourth mounting housing 18 by the mounting portion 1832. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 1832 is fixedly connected to the seventh housing portion 181 of the fourth mounting housing 18 and has a columnar structure protruding from the seventh housing portion 181. The mounting portion 1832 is non-rotatable relative to the fourth mounting housing 18. The columnar mounting portion 1832 and the seventh housing portion 181 are integrally formed or fixed by screwing, riveting, or welding. The first pivot ring 1833 fits onto the columnar mounting portion 1832 but is non-rotatable relative to the columnar mounting portion 1832. The first pivot ring 1833 is pivotally connected to the swing bracket assembly 2. It should be understood that the implementation of the first pivot portion 183 is not limited to the above example. For example, in some embodiments, the mounting portion 1832 is a locking groove formed in the fourth mounting housing 18, the locking groove is formed in the seventh housing portion 181, and has a groove opening configured to allow the first pivot ring 1833 to be inserted. The first pivot ring 1833 non-rotatably fits into the mounting portion 1832, which is the locking groove, through the groove opening. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first pivot portion 183 is not assembled by a plurality of components but is an integral member, and in this case, the first pivot portion 183 and the seventh housing portion 181 are integrally formed.
[0359] Referring to FIG. 57, in some embodiments, at least one second guide groove 18321 is formed in the outer peripheral wall of the cylindrical mounting portion 1832, and at least one protruding rib 18333 is disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the first pivot ring 1833. When the first pivot ring 1833 is attached to the cylindrical mounting portion 1832 along the attachment direction Q1, the second guide groove 18321 and the protruding rib 18333 engage in an uneven fitting manner, and this engagement guides the first pivot ring 1833 to fit onto the cylindrical mounting portion 1832 on the one hand, and prevents relative rotation between the first pivot ring 1833 and the cylindrical mounting portion 1832 on the other hand. In some embodiments, the positions of the protruding rib 18333 and the second guide groove 18321 may be interchanged.
[0360] Referring to FIG. 57, in some embodiments, at least one first elastic arm 18322 is disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the columnar mounting portion 1832, and the first elastic arm 18322 has a protruding finger 18323. A locking portion 18332 is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the first pivot ring 1833, and the locking portion 18332 is, for example, a groove 18302 formed on the inner peripheral wall of the first pivot ring 1833. When the first pivot ring 1833 is attached to the columnar mounting portion 1832 along the attachment direction Q1, after the locking portion 18332 passes through the protruding finger 18323, the protruding finger 18323 rebounds and abuts against the locking portion 18332, thereby effectively preventing the first pivot ring 1833 from coming off the columnar mounting portion 1832.
[0361] Referring to FIG. 58, in some embodiments, the swing bracket assembly 2 includes a swing housing 23. The swing housing 23 includes, for example, a cover 2301 and a fence 2302 extending from an edge of the cover 2301. An opening 2303 formed and surrounded by the fence 2302 may be shielded by a safety fence 306 of the seat 3. The first pivot portion 183 is housed within the swing housing 23. More specifically, the cover 2301 has a mounting hole 230, and a first receiving portion 231 corresponding to the mounting hole 230 is formed within the swing housing 23. The first pivot ring 1833 is sleeved within the first receiving portion 231, and a columnar mounting portion 1832 extends through the mounting hole 230 into the swing housing 23 and is sleeved within the first pivot ring 1833. When the seat 3 swings relative to the main frame 1, the swing housing 23 rotates about the axis of the first pivot ring 1833.
[0362] Referring to FIG. 58, in some embodiments, the baby carrier further includes a first axial limiting mechanism 2311, and the first axial limiting mechanism 2311 is configured to limit the axial movement of the first pivot ring 1833 relative to the swing housing 23, thereby preventing the swing housing 23 from separating from the fourth mounting housing 18 of the main frame 1.

When the opening 2303 of the swing housing 23 is covered by the safety fence 306, the second pivot ring 382 is sleeved in the second receiving portion 232 of the swing housing 232. When the seat 3 pivots relative to the main frame 1, relative rotation may occur between the second pivot ring 382 and the swing housing 23.
[0367] Referring to FIGS. 59 and 65, in some embodiments, the baby carrier further includes a second axial limiting mechanism 2312, and the second axial limiting mechanism 2312 is configured to limit the axial movement of the swing housing 23 relative to the second pit ring 382, thereby avoiding separation between the swing housing 23 and the safety fence 306.
[0368] Referring to FIGS. 59 and 65, in some embodiments, the second axial limiting mechanism 2312 includes a second elastic arm 23121 disposed within the second receiving portion 232. When the swing housing 23 is connected to the safety fence 306, the second elastic arm 23121 passes through the inner hole 3820 of the second pivot ring 382, and then the protruding finger 231211 of the second elastic arm 23121 engages with the edge of the inner hole 3820, whereby the swing housing 23 is connected to the safety fence 306.
[0369] Referring to FIGS. 61 and 62, the seat holding mechanism 39 is installed on the swing housing 23 of the swing bracket assembly 2 and disposed between the main frame 1 and the seat 3.

Due to the action of the seat holding mechanism 39, the seat 3 swings by a first angle in the other opposite direction about the second pivot portion 38 (more specifically, the axis of the second pivot ring 382). Thereby, the two-way rotation of the seat 3 is offset, and the seat 3 maintains a horizontal state during the process of swinging back and forth relative to the main frame 1.
[0370] The seat 3 is kept horizontal even during swinging, and the swinging range of the swing bracket assembly 2 is widened. For example, the maximum angle of the backward swing with respect to the starting position of the swing bracket assembly 2 is not limited within 20 degrees, and may be, for example, 25 degrees or more. Referring to FIG. 66, the starting position of the swing housing 23 of the swing bracket assembly 2 is substantially perpendicular to the ground. The maximum angle of the forward swing is not limited within 20 degrees, and may be, for example, 25 degrees or more.
[0371] The seat holding mechanism 39 can be implemented in various ways as long as the effect of keeping the seat 3 horizontal during swinging is obtained. FIG. 62 shows an exemplary structure of the seat holding mechanism 39. The seat holding mechanism 39 includes a gear transmission system 391. The gear transmission system 391 is installed in the swing housing 23 and includes, for example, a driving gear 3911.

More specifically, the first tooth portion 1831 meshes with the third tooth portion 39111 of the driving gear 3911, and the second tooth portion 381 meshes with the fourth tooth portion 39112 of the driving gear 3911.
[0372] Referring to FIGS. 66 to 71 together, the mutual positional relationship of the first tooth portion 1831, the driving gear 3911, and the second tooth portion 381 when the seat 3 swings with respect to the main frame 1 is shown, and the state in which the seat 3 swings with respect to the main frame 1 while the seat 3 keeps horizontal is shown.
[0373] Referring to FIGS. 66 and 67, the seat 3 is in the lowest swing position, and at this time the swing angle of the seat 3 is zero. The symbol O' in the figure indicates the pivoting center of the first pivot ring 1833, and the symbol O'' indicates the pivoting center of the second pivot ring 382. At this time, the line X connecting the swing center O' and the swing center O'' is substantially perpendicular to the ground, and an included angle δ is formed between the backrest 307 of the seat 3 and the line X.
[0374] Referring to FIGS. 68 and 69, the seat 3 swings backward in the first direction T1 with respect to the main frame 1. At this time, an angle θ is formed between the line X connecting the pivot center O' and the pivot center O'', and the vertical line Z perpendicular to the ground. The angle θ is the first angle at which the swing housing 23 swings in the direction Y1 about the pivot center O'. Due to the swing of the swing housing 23, the drive gear 3911 rotates with respect to the first pivot ring 1833, and due to the rotation of the drive gear 3911, the second pivot portion 38 and the seat 3 swing by a first angle in the direction Y2 about the pivot center O''. The direction Y2 is opposite to the direction Y1. At this time, an included angle (δ + θ) is formed between the backrest 307 of the seat 3 and the straight line X, that is, the angle δ between the backrest 307 and the vertical line Z does not change, that is, the seat 3 remains horizontal even during the backward swing.
[0375] Referring to FIGS. 70 and 71, the seat 3 swings forward in the second direction T2 with respect to the main frame 1. At this time, an angle η is formed between the line X connecting the pivot center O' and the pivot center O'', and the vertical line Z. The angle η is the first angle at which the swing housing 23 swings in the Y3 direction about the pivot center O'. Due to the swing of the swing housing 23, the drive gear 3911 rotates with respect to the first pivot ring 1833, and due to the rotation of the drive gear 3911, the second pivot portion 38 and the seat 3 swing by a first angle in the Y4 direction about the pivot center O''. The direction Y4 is opposite to the direction Y3. At this time, an included angle δ - η is formed between the backrest 307 of the seat 3 and the straight line X, that is, the included angle δ between the backrest 307 and the vertical line Z does not change, and the seat 3 remains horizontal when swinging forward.
[0376] In the above embodiment, the gear transmission system 391 is described by taking one drive gear 3911 as an example. However, in other embodiments, the gear transmission system 391 may further include two or more drive gears 3911. More specifically, the first tooth portion 1831 meshes with, for example, one drive gear 3911 of the gear transmission system 391, and the second tooth portion 381 meshes with, for example, another drive gear 3911 of the gear transmission system 391. The two drive gears 3911 may mesh directly or indirectly, and thereby, the effect of controlling the seat 3 to be kept horizontal during the forward and backward swing with respect to the main frame 1 can also be achieved.
[0377] Referring to FIGS. 62, 64, and 65, in some embodiments, the baby carrier further includes a first swing limiting mechanism 481. The first swing limiting mechanism 481 is configured to limit the swing angle of the swing housing 23 with respect to the main frame 1, thereby controlling the swing range of the seat 3 within a safe range and realizing the riding safety and comfort of the seat 3 in the swing mode.
[0378] The first swing limiting mechanism 481 can be realized in various ways. Referring to FIG. 62, in some embodiments, the first swing limiting mechanism 481 includes a first groove 4810 and a first stop portion 4811. The first groove 4810 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the first pivot ring 1833, and the first stop portion 4811 is disposed on the wall of the first receiving portion 231, and the first stop portion 4811 extends into the first groove 4810. When the swing housing 23 swings, the first stop portion 4811 abuts against one of the two end walls 48101 of the first groove 4810, limiting the swing angle of the swing housing 23. In some embodiments, the positions of the first groove 4810 and the first stop portion 4811 may be interchanged.
[0379] Referring to FIGS. 59, 62, and 65, in some embodiments, the baby carrier further includes a second swing limiting mechanism 482. The second swing limiting mechanism 482 is configured to limit the swing angle of the seat 3 relative to the swing housing 23 or the main frame 1, thereby also serving to control the swing range of the seat 3 within a safe range.
[0380] The second swing limiting mechanism 482 can be implemented in various ways. Referring to FIG. 62, in some embodiments, the second swing limiting mechanism 482 includes a second groove 4820 and a second stop portion 4821. The second groove 4820 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the second pivot ring 382, and the second stop portion 4821 is disposed on the wall of the second receiving portion 232, and the second stop portion 4821 extends into the second groove 4820. When the swing housing 23 swings, the second stop portion 4821 abuts against one of the two end walls 48201 of the second groove 4820, thereby limiting the swing angle of the seat 3. In some embodiments, the positions of the second groove 4820 and the second stop portion 4821 may be interchanged.
[0381] Referring to FIGS. 62 to 65, in some embodiments, the baby carrier may further be provided with a fourth swing lock mechanism 483. The fourth swing lock mechanism 483 indirectly locks or unlocks the swing of the seat 3 by locking or unlocking the swing of the swing housing 23, and can switch the seat 3 between a fixed mode and a swing mode. It should be understood that when the seat 3 is in the fixed mode, the seat 3 cannot swing relative to the main frame 1. The fourth swing lock mechanism 483 may be implemented in various ways. For example, in some embodiments, the fourth swing lock mechanism 483 includes a lock pin elastically extending from a seventh housing portion 181 of the fourth mounting housing 18 and a release member configured to control the extension and contraction of the lock pin. A lock hole is formed in the safety fence 306 of the seat 3. When the lock pin is inserted into the lock hole, the seat 3 switches to the fixed mode, and when the lock pin retracts from the lock hole, the seat switches to the swing mode.
[0382] FIGS. 62 to 65 show an exemplary embodiment of the fourth swing lock mechanism 483, and the fourth swing lock mechanism 483 locks the swing of the swing housing 23 by locking the drive gear 3911. More specifically, the fourth swing lock mechanism 483 is attached to the swing housing 23 and includes a fourth release member 4831 and a lock block 4832. When the baby carrier is in the fixed mode, the lock block 4832 is inserted into the limiting groove 3910 of the drive gear 3911. Therefore, the drive gear 3911 is locked and cannot rotate. Therefore, neither the second pivot portion 38, the swing housing 23, nor the seat 3 can swing. As shown in FIG. 64, the limiting groove 3910 is disposed between a third tooth portion 39111 and a fourth tooth portion 39112. The fourth release member 4831 is operatively connected to the lock block 4832, and the fourth release member 4831 can remove the lock block 4832 from the limiting groove 3910 to switch the baby carrier from the fixed mode to the swing mode.
[0383] In some embodiments, the fourth release member 4831 may be directly or indirectly connected to the lock block 4832. Referring to FIGS. 63 to 65, in some embodiments, the fourth swing lock mechanism 483 further includes a drive member 4833, and the lock block 4832 is installed on the drive member 4833. More specifically, the lock block 4832 and the drive member 4833 are integrally formed. The fourth release member 4831 drives the lock block 4832 via the drive member 4833. The fourth release member 4831 can be arranged at any appropriate position according to requirements (for example, space layout requirements) by arranging the drive member 4833.
[0384] In some embodiments, the drive member 4833 is slidably engaged with the swing housing 23, and the fourth release member 4831 is slidably engaged with the swing housing 23. The slide direction of the fourth release member 4831 intersects the slide direction of the drive member 4833, thereby realizing a compact structure of the fourth swing lock mechanism 483. In some embodiments, the slide direction of the fourth release member 4831 may be perpendicular to the slide direction of the drive member 4833.
[0385] Referring to FIG. 64, in some embodiments, the swing housing 23 has a seventh elongated hole 233. The fourth release member 4831 has an operating portion 48311 and a third post 48312 extending from the operating portion 48311. The third post 48312 is slidably engaged with the seventh elongated hole 233. When it is necessary to switch the baby carrier between the fixed mode and the swing mode, the user can operate the operating portion 48311 to slide the third post 48312 along the seventh elongated hole 233 so that the fourth release member 4831 moves to the unlock position (shown in FIGS. 62, 66 to 71) or the lock position (shown in FIGS. 63 and 72). When the fourth release member 4831 is in the unlock position, the lock block 4832 retracts from the limiting groove 3910 (shown in FIG. 62), and the seat 3 can swing back and forth relative to the main frame 1. Also, when the fourth release member 4831 is in the lock position, it can be seen that the lock block 4832 is inserted into the limiting groove 3910 (shown in FIG. 63), and the seat 3 cannot swing back and forth relative to the main frame 1.
[0386] Referring to FIG. 65, in some embodiments, a guide structure 2308 is provided on the cover 2301 of the swing housing 23, and the drive member 4833 is slidably engaged with the guide structure 2308.

Referring to FIGS. 62 and 63, when the fourth release member 4831 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the third column 48312 presses the third inclined wall 483301, and the drive member 4833 drives the lock block 4832 out of the limiting groove 3910. In some embodiments, a cap screw is attached to the central hole (not shown in the figure) of the third column 48312, and the cap of the cap screw abuts against the drive member 4831 to prevent the fourth release member 4831 from detaching from the drive member 4833. In some embodiments, the fourth release member 4831 is also prevented from detaching from the drive member 4833 by other limiting structures.
[0387] In some embodiments not shown, the third connection hole 48330 is an elongated hole, and the third connection hole 48330 is inclined with respect to the seventh elongated hole 233. When the fourth release member 4831 slides between the unlocked position and the locked position, the third column 48312 directly slide-drives the drive member 4833, and the lock block 4832 is inserted into or removed from the limiting groove 3910.
[0388] Referring to FIGS. 62 and 63, in some embodiments, the third connection hole 48330 is substantially triangular. A third limiting portion 483302 is provided at one end of the third inclined wall 483301. The third limiting portion 483302 is configured to engage with the third column 48312, and the fourth release member 4831 is held in the unlocked position.

The fourth elastic element 4834 is, for example, a spring installed between the driving member 4833 and the fence 2302 of the swing housing 23.
[0390] Referring to FIG. 65, an elastic claw 2331 is further disposed on the hole wall of the seventh elongated hole 233. When the fourth release member 4831 moves to the locked position, the elastic claw 2331 sandwiches the third post 48312, and the fourth release member 4831 can be held in the locked position.
[0391] Referring to FIGS. 64 and 65, in some embodiments, the driving member 4833 includes a first side portion 48331 and a second side portion 48332 facing each other, and a third side portion 48333 connected between the first side portion 48331 and the second side portion 48332. The driving gear 3911 is disposed between the first side portion 48331 and the second side portion 48332. The first side portion 48331 and the second side portion 48332 respectively form receiving holes 48338 that are slidably engaged with the support posts 2309. The lock block 4832 is disposed on the third side portion 48333. In some embodiments, the lock block 4832 and the driving member 4833 are integrally formed, and a recess 48320 for receiving the fourth elastic element 4834 is formed inside the lock block 4832.
[0392] The Seventh Embodiment
[0393] FIGS. 73 and 74 schematically show the structure of a baby carrier according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention. The baby carrier of this embodiment is a modification of the sixth embodiment above. When there is no contradiction, for the structure of each component and the connection relationship between each component in this embodiment, reference can be made to the description of the sixth embodiment. The differences between this embodiment and the sixth embodiment are the implementation of the seat holding mechanism 39 and the implementation of the swing lock mechanism for locking the swing of the seat 3, which will be mainly described below.
[0394] The seat holding mechanism 39 is arranged symmetrically on both sides of the seat 3, for example. Referring to FIGS. 75 and 76, the seat holding mechanism 39 includes a slide pin 392 and a slide groove 393. One of the slide pin 392 and the slide groove 393 is arranged on the main frame 1, and the other is arranged on the seat 3. When the swing bracket assembly 2 swings with respect to the main frame 1, the slide pin 392 and the slide groove 393 are slidably engaged to control the seat 3 to be kept horizontal with respect to the main frame 1 during forward and backward swings.
[0395] Referring to the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the main frame 1 includes fourth mounting housings 18 arranged symmetrically on the left and right. Referring to FIG. 75, a slide pin 392 is arranged in each fourth mounting housing 18, and the slide pin 392 is parallel to, for example, the swing axis of the seat 3, that is, the axis of the swing of the seat 3 with respect to the main frame 1. In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 76, a fourth through hole 1810 is provided in the seventh housing portion 181 of the fourth mounting housing 18, and the slide pin 392 is configured to pass through the fourth through hole 1810. In some embodiments, in order to form sufficient support for the slide pin 392, a hollow column 1812 protruding outward is arranged in the seventh housing portion 181, and the central hole of the hollow column 1812 serves as the fourth through hole 1810.
[0396] Referring to the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the seat 3 includes safety fences 306 arranged symmetrically on the left and right. Referring to FIG. 75, slide grooves 393 are formed in the safety fences 306, and the slide grooves 393 are in a curved shape. The engagement between the curved groove and the slide pin 392 not only does not affect the front-back swing of the seat 3 with respect to the main frame 1, but also ensures that the seat 3 is kept horizontal during the swing, preventing the seat 3 from tilting forward or backward. Referring to FIG. 78, when the seat 3 is mounted on the support frame 1, the end of the hollow column 1812 abuts against the safety fence 306 of the seat 3, and the slide pin 392 extending from the fourth through hole 1810 extends into the slide groove 393.
[0397] In the above embodiment, the slide pin 392 is arranged in the fourth mounting housing 18 of the main frame 1, and the slide groove 393 is formed in the safety fence 306 of the seat 3. However, in some embodiments, the positions of the slide pin 392 on the main frame 1 and the slide groove 393 on the seat 3 may be interchanged.
[0398] Referring to FIGS. 75 and 77, the seat holding mechanism 39 of this embodiment controls the seat 3 to be kept horizontal during the swing by the slide pin 392 engaged with the slide groove 393. Therefore, the gear transmission system 391 of the sixth embodiment is not necessarily provided. Correspondingly, the fourth swing lock mechanism 483 of the sixth embodiment configured to lock the drive gear 3911 is not necessarily provided. The structure of the seat holding mechanism 39 provided in this embodiment is simple and easy to install. FIG. 76 shows the first tooth portion 1831 of the first pivot ring 1833 of the first pivot portion 183, and FIG. 80 shows the second tooth portion 381 of the second pivot ring 382 of the second pivot portion 38. Since the gear transmission system 391 is not provided, there is no meshing relationship between the first tooth portion 1831 and the second tooth portion 381. Therefore, in the actual application of this embodiment, the first tooth portion 1831 and the second tooth portion 381 may not be provided.
[0399] Referring to FIG. 75, in some embodiments, a locking hole 30 is formed in the slide groove 393, and the locking hole 30 is located, for example, at the center of the slide groove 393. In some embodiments, the locking hole 30 is, for example, a through hole or a blind hole. Referring to FIGS. 78 and 79, the slide pin 392 has a locked position and an unlocked position. When the slide pin 392 is in the locked position shown in FIG. 79, the slide pin 392 extends into the locking hole 30, and the swing of the seat 3 is locked. The seat 3 with the locked swing is difficult to rotate relative to the main frame 1. Referring to FIG. 78, when the slide pin 392 is in the unlocked position, the slide pin 392 retracts from the locking hole 30 but still engages slidably with the slide groove 393, thereby unlocking the swing of the seat 3.
[0400] Referring to FIGS. 80 to 82, in some embodiments, the baby carrier further includes a fifth swing locking mechanism 6a. The fifth swing locking mechanism 6a is configured to control the extension and contraction of the slide pin 392, thereby locking or unlocking the swing of the seat 3. In some embodiments, the fifth swing locking mechanism 6a includes a fifth release member 61a and a fifth elastic element 63a. The fifth release member 61a is configured to directly or indirectly drive the slide pin 392 to be pulled out of the locking hole 30, and the fifth elastic element 63a is configured to drive the slide pin 392 to be inserted into the locking hole 30.

[0424] The eighth embodiment
[0425] Figures 100 and 108 illustratively show the structure of a baby carrier according to the eighth embodiment of the present invention. The baby carrier provided in this embodiment is a modified version of the seventh embodiment. When there is no contradiction, for the structure of the components in this embodiment and the connection relationship between these components, reference can be made to the description of the seventh embodiment. The differences between this embodiment and the seventh embodiment lie in the connection structure for connecting the seat 3 and the swing bracket assembly 2 to the main frame 1, and the implementation of the swing lock mechanism for locking the swing of the seat 3, and these differences will be mainly described below.
[0426] Referring to FIGS. 100 to 103, in this embodiment, the swing bracket assembly 2 and the slide pin 392 are attached onto the seat 3.

When the first release member 61 is in the lock position shown in FIG. 106, the lock pin 62 extends outward and is inserted into the lock hole 30. When the first release member 61 moves from the lock position to the unlock position along the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 106, the first inclined wall 61011 abuts against the first cylinder 6201. The first cylinder 6201 is supported by the first inclined wall 61011, pulls the lock pin 62 out of the lock hole 30, and can swing the seat 3 back and forth relative to the main frame 1. In some embodiments, the positions of the first connection hole 6101 of the first release member 61 and the first cylinder 6201 of the lock pin 62 may be interchanged.
[0437] Referring to FIGS. 104 and 105, the swing housing 23 has a first side portion 2305 that slidably engages with the first release member 61 and a second side portion 2306 that slidably engages with the lock pin 62. The first side portion 2305 and the second side portion 2306 are perpendicular to each other. An inclined guide wall 23061 is formed on the wall of the second side portion 2306, and the first cylinder 6201 is guided by the inclined guide wall 23061 and enters the first connection hole 6101.
[0438] Referring to FIG. 106, in some embodiments, a first limiting portion 61012 is provided at one end of the first inclined wall 61011. The first limiting portion 61012 engages with the first cylinder 6201 and is configured to hold the first release member 61 in the unlock position and hold the lock pin 62 in a state of being pulled out of the lock hole 30.
[0439] Referring to FIG. 107, in some embodiments, the first elastic element 63 is a spring sandwiched between the swing housing 23 and the lock pin 62. The first release member 61 has an avoidance hole 6102 through which the first elastic element 63 can pass. When the first release member 61 moves from the unlock position to the lock position, and the first cylinder 6201 is removed from the first limiting portion 61012 (shown in FIG. 106), it is understood that the lock pin 62 driven by the first elastic element 63 automatically extends and is inserted into the lock hole 30. When the lock pin 62 is inserted into the lock hole 30, the swing housing 2 and the seat 3 cannot rotate relative to each other, the seat 3 cannot swing relative to the main frame 1, and the swing of the seat 3 is locked.
[0440] In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 102 to 107, an example is shown in which the first swing lock mechanism 6 is installed in the swing housing 23 of the swing bracket assembly 2. However, it goes without saying that in some embodiments, the first swing lock mechanism 6 may be installed, for example, in the fourth mounting housing 18 of the main frame 1.
[0441] The Ninth Embodiment
[0442] FIGS. 109 and 117 exemplarily show the structure of a baby carrier according to the ninth embodiment of the present invention. The baby carrier provided in this embodiment is a modified version of the eighth embodiment described above. When there is no contradiction, for the structure of each component and the connection relationship between each component in this embodiment, reference can be made to the description of the eighth embodiment. The difference between this embodiment and the eighth embodiment lies in the implementation of the first swing lock mechanism 6, which will be mainly described below.
[0443] Referring to FIGS. 111 and 112, the first swing lock mechanism 6 includes a first release member 61, a lock pin 62, a first elastic element 63, and a mounting post 64. In this embodiment, the first swing lock mechanism 6 is shown by taking the first swing lock mechanism 6 installed in the swing housing 23 as an example. In some embodiments, the first swing lock mechanism 6 may be installed in the fourth mounting housing 18 of the main frame 1.
[0444] Referring to FIGS. 111, 112, and 114, the lock pin 62 is fitted to the mounting post 64 and is extendable and retractable in a direction parallel to the swing axis of the seat 3, that is, in a direction parallel to the axis about which the seat 3 swings with respect to the main frame 1. The first elastic element 63 applies an elastic force to the lock pin 62 and extends the lock pin 62 so as to be inserted into the lock hole 30. The first release member 61 is operatively connected to the lock pin 62, and the moving direction of the first release member 61 is perpendicular to the extending and retracting direction of the lock pin 62. Referring to FIG. 113, in some embodiments, the swing housing 23 has a groove structure 23071 for guiding the movement of the first release member 61, and the swing housing 23 also has an opening 2307a that allows the first push block 613 of the first release member 61 to extend outward.
[0445] Referring to FIGS. 111 to 114, in some embodiments, the lock pin 62 is fitted to the mounting post 64. When the lock pin 62 in the locked position is pushed by the first release member 61, the lock pin 62 moves axially while rotating around the mounting post 64, and the lock pin 62 retracts from the lock hole 30. For example, a second connection hole 6401 is formed in the outer peripheral wall of the mounting post 64, and the second connection hole 6401 has a second inclined wall 64011. A second cylinder 6202 is disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the lock pin 62, and the second cylinder 6202 is configured to extend into the second connection hole 6401, and the lock pin 62 remains connected to the mounting post 64. In some embodiments, for example, the lock pin 62 has an elastic arm 6222, and the second cylinder 6202 is disposed on the elastic arm 6222.
[0446] The first release member 61 has an unlock position and a lock position. By moving between the unlock position and the lock position of the first release member 61, the expansion and contraction of the lock pin 62 with respect to the mounting post 64 is controlled. When the first release member 61 is in the lock position shown in Fig. 117, the lock pin 62 is inserted into the lock hole 30, and the seat 3 cannot swing back and forth. When the first release member 61 moves from the lock position to the unlock position along the direction of the arrow in Fig. 117, the first release member 61 rotationally drives the lock pin 62 with respect to the mounting post 64, and the second inclined wall 64011 abuts against the second cylinder 6202. The second cylinder 6202 is pushed by the second inclined wall 64011 to move the lock pin 62 in the axial direction, retract it from the lock hole 30, and swing the seat 3 back and forth with respect to the main frame 1. In some embodiments, the positions of the second connection hole 6401 on the mounting post 64 and the second cylinder 6202 on the lock pin 62 may be interchanged.
[0447] Referring to Fig. 113, in some embodiments, a second limiting portion 64012 is provided at one end of the second inclined wall 64011. The second limiting portion 64012 is configured to engage with the second cylinder 6202. Thereby, the first release member 61 stays at the unlock position, and the lock pin 62 is maintained in a state of being retracted from the lock hole 30. The first elastic element 63 may be a spring sandwiched between the mounting post 64 and the lock pin 62. When the first release member 61 moves from the unlock position to the lock position along the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 115, when the second cylinder 6202 is disengaged from the second limiting portion 64012, it can be understood that the lock pin 62 driven by the first elastic element 63 automatically extends and is inserted into the lock hole 30. When the lock pin 62 is inserted into the lock hole 30, the swing housing 2 and the seat 3 cannot rotate relative to each other, and the seat 3 cannot swing with respect to the main frame 1, and the swing of the seat 3 is locked.
[0448] Referring to FIGS. 111 and 112, in some embodiments, the first release member 61 is connected to the lock pin 62 via a crank-slider mechanism 605. The crank-slider mechanism 605 includes a cylinder 6051 and an elongated groove 6052, which are slidably engaged. The cylinder 6051 is disposed, for example, on the protrusion 625 of the lock pin 62, and the elongated groove 6052 is disposed, for example, on the extension plate 615 of the first release member 61. The crank-slider mechanism 605 converts the translational movement of the first release member 61 into the rotational movement of the lock pin 62. In some embodiments, the positions of the cylinder 6051 on the lock pin 62 and the elongated groove 6052 on the first release member 61 may be interchanged.
[0449] Referring to FIGS. 111, 113, and 116, a seventh positioning mechanism 635 is disposed between the swing housing 23 and the first release member 61, and the seventh positioning mechanism 635 is configured to hold the first release member 61 in the unlocked position or the locked position. In some embodiments, the seventh positioning mechanism 635 includes two rib plates 6351 and 6353 disposed on the first release member 61 and two clamp portions 6352 and 6354 disposed on the swing housing 23. The two rib plates 6351 and 6353 extend from the extension plate 615 and are spaced apart in the moving direction of the first release member 61. Referring to FIG. 116, when the first release member 61 moves to the unlocked position, the rib plate 6351 crosses the clamp portion 6352 and engages with the clamp portion 6352 to hold the first release member 61 in the unlocked position. Similarly, when the first release member 61 moves to the locked position, the rib plate 6353 crosses the clamp portion 6354 and engages with the clamp portion 6354 to hold the first release member 61 in the locked position. The embodiments of the seventh positioning mechanism 635 are not limited to the above examples.
[0450] The technical features of the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features of the above embodiments are described, but as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, these combinations should be regarded as being within the scope described in this specification.
[0451] The above embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention. Although the description is relatively specific and detailed, it does not limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should note that various changes and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all of these changes and improvements are within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should follow the scope of the claims.
