Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a box body fixing structure and a carrying device. [Background Art]

[0002] When a user goes out by means of transportation such as a vehicle, the accompanying box body may be placed on a vehicle seat. If the means of transportation brakes suddenly due to an unexpected situation, the box body easily slides off the seat due to inertia. For some box bodies, a LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children, lower anchor and tether for child safety seats) connector or an ISOFIX (International Standards Organization FIX, fixing device of the International Organization for Standardization) connector provided on a flexible braided cord belt is connected to a vehicle seat, and the box body is prone to bouncing up when the vehicle collides.

[0003] Furthermore, a box body such as a pet box provides convenience for people when going out with their pets. Since a pet box is usually placed directly on a vehicle seat, it easily falls off the vehicle seat when the vehicle brakes suddenly due to an unexpected situation. [Summary of the Invention] [Problem to be Solved by the Invention]

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0050] To provide a clearer understanding of the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, specific embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0051] In this specification, terms such as “first,” “second,” etc., may be used to distinguish different components, not to indicate order, quantity, or importance. These terms are used solely to distinguish one element from another. For example, without departing the scope of the invention, a first element may be called a second element, and similarly, a second element may be called a first element. Words such as “includes” or similar words mean that the element or object appearing before the word covers the elements or objects and their equivalents listed after the word, and do not exclude other elements or objects. Furthermore, in the description of the invention, the term “one” or “one” may include one or more items unless otherwise specified.

[0052] Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a box body fixing structure 1000 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the box body fixing structure 1000 includes a box body 100, a restraint belt 200, and an adjuster (also called a position limiting device) 300.

[0053] The box body 100 may be, for example, any suitable type of carrier. In some embodiments, the box body 100 may be a plastic box, a metal box, etc., for storing articles. In some embodiments, the box body 100 may be a pet box, a pet carrier basket, a pet pack, etc., for storing pets. The shape of the box body 100 may be a cube, a rectangular prism, or other irregular shape. The box body 100 usually includes a bottom plate 101, a top plate 102, and side plates 103 located between the bottom plate 101 and the top plate 102. The distance between the top plate 102 and the bottom plate 101 of the box body 100 defines the height H of the box body 100. The side plates 103 may have a front side plate 1031, a rear side plate 1032, a left side plate 1033, and a right side plate 1034. In some embodiments, the box body 100 may have a symmetrical shape. In some embodiments, the box body 100 is provided with a handle (not shown in Figure 1), which may be attached to the top plate 102 of the box body 100, or it may be connected to any two opposing side plates of the box body 100.

[0054] Unless otherwise specified, the directional terms "front," "rear," "left," and "right" in the embodiments of the present invention refer to the "front," "rear," "left," and "right" directions of the seat 400 when it is placed on Figure 2 with reference to the box body 100 and the seat 400. Arrows F and B schematically indicate the "front" and "rear" directions, and arrows L and R schematically indicate the "left" and "right" directions. These directional terms are intended to clarify the description of the embodiments of the present invention and do not unduly limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] Referring to Figure 2, the seat 400 may be, but is not limited to, a seat in a means of transport such as a vehicle seat or an aircraft seat. The seat 400 has a front section including a seat portion 410 and a backrest portion 420, for example, two or more sockets 42 are provided, and the two or more sockets 42 are located between the seat portion 410 and the backrest portion 420 and are spaced apart in the lateral direction (left-right direction). Each socket 42 may be an ISOFIX socket.

[0056] Referring to Figure 1, the restraint belt 200 is attached to the box body 100. The restraint belt 200 has two connecting ends 22. The two connecting ends 22 are located outside the box body 100, and anchors 26 are provided, each anchor 26 being used to connect to an anchor point at any appropriate location. Referring to Figure 2, when the box body 100 is placed on the seat 400, the bottom plate 101 of the box body 100 is supported by the seat portion 410, and the rear side plate 1032 of the box body 100 faces the backrest portion 420. The two connecting ends 22 of the restraint belt 200 are each detachably connected to corresponding sockets 42 (the sockets 42 which are anchor points) to connect the box body 100 and the seat 400. Here, it can be understood that the anchors 26 are ISOFIX plug-ins.

[0057] The adjuster 300 is connected to the restraint belt 200. The relative position of the adjuster 300 and the restraint belt 200 can be adjusted so that the length of the restraint belt 200 positioned between the adjuster 300 and the anchor 26 can be adjusted. In this way, when the box body 100 is placed on the seat 400 and each anchor 26 is connected to the corresponding socket 42, the restraint belt 200 connected between the box body 100 and the socket 42 can be made taut by adjusting the length between the restraint belt 200 adjuster 300 and the anchor 26. In this way, during sudden braking, the box body 100 placed on the seat 400 is less likely to slide forward relative to the seat 400 and fall further due to the effective tensile force of the restraint belt 300 in a taut state. In some embodiments, the adjuster 300 may have a structure such as an A-LOCK, a braided belt adjuster, or a ladder lock slider buckle, as long as it can adjust and fix the length of the restraint belt 200, and is not particularly limited.

[0058] Referring to Figure 1, the adjuster 300 may be attached to the box body 100, and the restraint belt 200 passes through the adjuster 300 and is lockable by the adjuster 300. The restraint belt 200 may further include an adjustment end 21, and the adjuster 300 may be positioned between the adjustment end 21 and each connecting end 22 of the restraint belt 200. The user can shorten the length of the restraint belt 200 that is positioned between the adjuster 300 and the anchor 26 by pulling the adjustment end 21 in the S direction. As can be understood, if the portion of the restraint belt 200 positioned between the adjuster 300 and the anchor 26 is taut and the adjustment end 21 does not need to be pulled any further, the restraint belt 200 may be locked by the adjuster 300. That is, the portion of the restraint belt 200 positioned between the adjuster 300 and the anchor 26 can be held taut.

[0059] The number of connection ends 22 of the restraint belt 200 is not limited to the two described above. In some embodiments, the restraint belt 200 may have one connection end 22, and an anchor 26 on that connection end 22 may be selectively connected to one of two or more sockets 42. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the restraint belt 200 may have more than two connection ends 22, and multiple anchors 26 may be arranged corresponding to multiple connection ends 22. At least some of the multiple anchors 26 may be selectively connected to two or more sockets 42, and the other anchors 26 may be removably connected to any suitable anchor point. To accommodate different types of anchor points, the type of anchor 26 is not limited to ISOFIX plug-ins. In some embodiments, the anchor 26 may be, for example, a hook, a buckle, or the like.

[0060] Figure 1 shows one embodiment of the restraint belt 200. The restraint belt 200 includes, for example, a first sub-belt 210 and two second sub-belts 220, and the entire restraint belt 200 has a Y-shape. The first end of the first sub-belt 210 corresponds to the adjustment end 21 of the restraint belt 200, and the second end of the first sub-belt 210 is connected to the first ends of the two second sub-belts 220. The second ends of the two second sub-belts 220 correspond to two connection ends 22, and each connection end 22 is provided with an anchor 26.

[0061] Continuing to refer to Figure 1, the adjuster 300 may be installed at the bottom of the front plate 1031 of the box body 100. In other embodiments, the adjuster 300 may be installed at the top of the front plate 1031 of the box body or at another suitable location. The first sub-belt 210 penetrates the adjuster 300, and the connecting ends 22 on each second sub-belt 220 extend rearward from the front plate 1031 along the bottom of the box body 100 to the rear plate 1032, then extend upward along the rear plate 1032, and then extend outside the box body 100 from a predetermined height D1 of the rear plate 1032 (this may be referred to as the connecting ends 22 moving away from the box body 100 from a predetermined height). In some embodiments, the predetermined height D1 is more than half of the height H, i.e., D1 ≥ H / 2. In some embodiments, the predetermined height D1 can be made closer to the height H. Of course, in some embodiments, the predetermined height D1 can be made less than half of the height H. In some embodiments, for example, the preset height D1 may be greater than one-third or one-quarter of the height H.

[0062] Referring to Figure 2, each connecting end 22 extending from a preset height D1 extends downward and rearward from the box body 100 so that each anchor 26 can be connected to the corresponding socket 42 when the box body 100 is attached to the seat 400. After the restraint belt 200, located between the adjuster 300 and the anchor 26, is stretched, the restraint belt 200 can effectively prevent the box body 100 from tipping forward so that the box body 100 is stably supported on the seat 400.

[0063] In some embodiments, a rigid member 15 made of a rigid material may be installed on the rear plate 1032 of the box body 100. The rigid material may be hard plastic, metal, or the like, but is not limited to these. The rigid member 15 has a support portion 151, which may be lower than the top plate 102 or flush with the top plate 102. Each connecting end 22 extends outside the box body 100 after bypassing the support portion 151 of the rigid member 15. The height of the support portion 151 corresponds to a preset height D1. The rigid member 15 may be attached to the rear plate 1032 of the box body 100 in any suitable way, as long as its support portion 151 can support the restraint belt 200. The rigid member 15 may be a solid member or a hollow member having a hollow passage.

[0064] Referring to Figure 1, if the rigid member 15 is a solid member (for example, a solid plate), each connecting end 22 extends upward between the rear plate 1032 and the rigid member 15, and also extends outside the box body 100, bypassing the support portion 151 of the rigid member 15. Referring to Figure 4, if the rigid member 15 has a hollow passage 150, each connecting end 22 of the restraining belt 200 enters the hollow passage 150 from the bottom of the hollow passage 150, and then extends outside, bypassing the support portion 151 of the rigid member 15.

[0065] Referring to Figures 1 and 4, in some embodiments, a support portion 151 is formed on the upper edge of the rigid member 15. Referring to Figure 5, in some embodiments, a notch 155 extending downward is formed on the upper edge of the rigid member 15, and the lower edge of the notch 155 forms the support portion 151. Referring to Figure 6, in some embodiments, a hole opening 153 is provided in the rigid member 15, and the lower edge of the hole opening 153 forms the support portion 151. Referring to Figure 7, in some embodiments, an opening 156 is provided in the rigid member 15, and the opening 156 is separated from the bottom plate 101 of the box body 100. The opening 156 is provided in an area of ​​more than half the height of the rear plate 1032 and may extend outward, or may extend outward from an area of ​​the rear plate 1032 close to the top plate 102. Each connecting end 22 of the restraint belt 200 extends from the opening 156 to the outside of the box body 100.

[0066] In some embodiments, the rigid member 15 may be fitted into the rear plate 1032 without protruding outward from the rear plate 1032. In some embodiments, the rigid member 15 may be attached to the rear plate 1032 and protrude outward from the rear plate 1032. In some embodiments, a portion of the rigid member 15 may be fitted into the rear plate 1032, while another portion protrudes outward from the rear plate 1032.

[0067] In some embodiments, the rear panel 1032 of the box body 100 includes a covering layer 10321, and the rigid member 15 is located outside the covering layer 10321. The hardness of the rigid member 15 is greater than that of the covering layer 10321. The covering layer 10321 may be made of, for example, fabric. Each connecting end 22 extends upward between the covering layer 10321 and the rigid member 15 and extends from the support portion 151 of the rigid member 15 to the outside of the box body 100.

[0068] This embodiment does not limit the size and shape of the rigid member 15. In some embodiments, the bottom of the rigid member 15 may extend to the bottom plate 101 of the box body 100. In some embodiments, the bottom of the rigid member 15 may be higher than the bottom plate 101. In some embodiments, the rigid member 15 may be located midway along the rear plate 1032 in the lateral direction, and the width W of the rigid member 15 may be smaller than the width of the rear plate 1032. In some embodiments, the rigid member 15 may correspond to the size of the rear plate 1032. In some embodiments, the rigid member 15 may be provided off-center to the left or right of the rear plate 1032. In some embodiments, two or more rigid members 15 may be arranged, and the two or more rigid members 15 may be installed symmetrically, with each connecting end 22 of the restraint belt 200 extending outside the box body 100 after bypassing the support portion 151 of the corresponding rigid member 15.

[0069] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, exemplary embodiments of the regulator 300 are shown. The regulator 300 is mounted on the bottom of the box body 100 and approaches the front side plate 1031 of the box body 100. The regulator 300 includes, for example, a lock 310 provided on the box body 100. The lock 310 may include a case 313, a locking member 312, a pivot 314, and a torsion spring 315. The locking member 312, the pivot 314, and the torsion spring 315 are mounted on the case 313, which is mounted on the box body 100. Inside the case 313, a lock passage 311 is formed through which a restraint belt 200 passes. The restraint belt 200 (more specifically, the first sub-belt 210) enters the case 313 from one end of the lock passage 311 and leaves the case 313 from the other end of the lock passage 311. The locking member 312 is attached to the case 313 via a pivot 314, and a torsion spring 315 is fitted to the pivot 314 and connected between the case 313 and the locking member 312. More specifically, the central portion of the locking member 312 and the case 313 are pivotally connected by the pivot 314. Referring to Figure 3, the first end 3121 of the locking member 312 functions as a locking end, pressing the first sub-belt 210 against the passage wall 3111 of the locking passage 311 to lock the position of the restraining belt 200. The torsion spring 315 is for holding the locking member 312 in the locked state shown in Figure 3. The second end 3122 of the locking member 312 functions as a pressing end, allowing the locking member 312 to rotate around the pivot 314 so as to release the locking of the first end 3121 of the locking member 312 against the first sub-belt 210.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first end 3121 of the locking member 312 has an arc-shaped surface for contacting the first sub-belt 210, and the arc-shaped surface may be provided with convex teeth. When the first end 3121 of the locking member 312 brings the first sub-belt 210 into contact with the passage wall 3111, the contact between the convex teeth and the first sub-belt 210 can effectively suppress the movement of the first sub-belt 210. In some embodiments, the convex teeth on the arc-shaped surface may be provided as a ratchet structure. Thus, when the locking member 312 is in the locked state, there is no need to push the second end 3122 of the locking member 312, and the restraining belt 200 can be pulled by the adjustment end 21, thereby putting the restraining belt 200 under tension in the portion between the adjuster 300 and the anchor 26. After the restraint belt 200 is adjusted to a predetermined position, the adjuster 300 can keep the portion of the restraint belt 200 between the adjuster 300 and the anchor 26 under tension without having to pull the adjustment end 21. When it is necessary to release the connection between the anchor 26 and the socket 42, the second end 3122 of the locking member 312 is pressed, causing the first end 3121 of the locking member 312 to release contact with the first sub-belt 210, thereby loosening the portion of the restraint belt 200 between the adjuster 300 and the anchor 26.

[0071] Figure 8 shows a box body fixing structure 1000 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. This box body fixing structure 1000 comprises a box body 100, a restraint belt 200, and an adjuster 300. Wherever there is no contradiction, the description of the box body 100 may refer to that of the first embodiment. For example, the box body 100 includes a bottom plate 101, a top plate 102, and side plates 103, and the side plates 103 include a front side plate 1031, a rear side plate 1032, a left side plate 1033, and a right side plate 1034. Where there is no contradiction, the description of the restraint belt 200 may refer to that of the first embodiment. For example, the restraint belt 200 may include a first sub-belt 210 and two second sub-belts 220. The restraint belt 200 as a whole has a Y-shape. The first end of the first sub-belt 210 corresponds to the adjustment end 21 of the restraint belt 200, and the second end of the first sub-belt 210 is connected to the first ends of the two second sub-belts 220. The second ends of the two second sub-belts 220 correspond to two connection ends 22, and each connection end 22 is provided with an anchor 26. Where there is no contradiction, the regulator 300 may refer to the regulator 300 of the first embodiment.

[0072] Referring to Figure 8, the two connecting ends 22 of the restraint belt 200 extend from the front plate 1031 to the left plate 1033 and the right plate 1034, respectively, and then extend rearward along the left plate 1033 and the right plate 1034, extending from the preset height D2 of the box body 100 to the outside of the box body 100. The relationship between the preset height D2 and the height H of the box body can be determined by considering the relationship between the preset height D1 and the height H of the box body.

[0073] Referring to Figure 8, in some embodiments, the adjuster 300 may be mounted at an intermediate lateral position on the front plate 1031, so that the adjuster 300 is higher than the bottom plate 101 of the box body 100. The first sub-belt 210 corresponds to the front plate 1031 of the box body 100. The first ends of the two second sub-belts 220 are each connected to the second ends of the first sub-belt 210, and the second ends of the two second sub-belts 220 each have holes for the adjuster 300.

[0074] In some embodiments, the adjuster 300 includes the lock 310 in the first embodiment, and the two second sub-belts 220 may have portions that overlap each other and are positioned between the first end 3121 of the locking member 312 and the passage wall 3111 of the locking passage 311. When the locking member 312 is in the locked state, the locking member 312 can lock the position of the restraining belt 200 by bringing the two overlapping second sub-belts 220 into contact with the passage wall 3111 of the locking passage 311. When the user pulls the adjuster end 21, the two second sub-belts 220 can slide simultaneously against the locking passage 311. Of course, in some other embodiments, the adjuster 300 may have other embodiments.

[0075] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 8, the regulator 300 includes openings 301 and 302 that are opposite to each other on the left and right sides, and the two connecting ends 22 may pass through the regulator 300 from openings 301 and 302.

[0076] Continuing to refer to Figure 8, in some embodiments, the box body 100 may be provided with a guide structure 111 for guiding and supporting the restraint belt 200. The guide structure 111 defines a preset height D2. In some embodiments, the guide structure 111 may be installed on the side plate 103 of the box body 100. The guide structure 111 includes, for example, a slot-type structure 1101 provided on the side plate 103 and at least one stopper 1102, the slot-type structure extending, for example, from the left side plate 1033 and the right side plate 1034 of the box body 100 to the rear side plate 1032 of the box body 100. At least some of the stoppers 1102 approach the ends on the rear side plate 1032 of the corresponding slot-type structure, and two connecting ends 22 bypass the corresponding stoppers 1102 and extend to the outside of the box body 100.

[0077] Continuing to refer to Figure 8, in some embodiments, the lateral width of the box body 100 may be greater than the lateral distance between the two sockets 42 in the seat 400, and the lateral width W1 between the two connection ends 22 at positions away from the box body 100 may be greater than the lateral distance between the two sockets 42. The lateral width W1 in Figure 8 is approximately equivalent to the width between the two stoppers 1102.

[0078] In some embodiments, if the lateral width of the box body 100 is less than the lateral distance between the two sockets 42, the two connection ends 22 may extend outside the box body 100 from the left side plate 1033 and the right side plate 1034, respectively.

[0079] Figure 9 shows a modified example of the guide structure 111. In some embodiments, the guide structure 111 includes one or more engaging members 1103, for example, attached to a side plate 103, defining a passage 110 through which the restraint belt 200 passes. In some embodiments, the engaging members 1103 may be made of metal, plastic, or other suitable material. One or more engaging members 1103 may be provided on one or more of the front side plate 1031, rear side plate 1032, left side plate 1033, and right side plate 1034, as needed. In some embodiments, the engaging members 1103 can be connected to the box body 110 to form a closed ring. In some embodiments, the engaging members 1103 may be, for example, hook-shaped or C-shaped.

[0080] Figure 10 shows yet another modification of the guide structure 111. The guide structure 111 includes, for example, two engaging members 1103, which are provided on the rear plate 1032 and spaced apart laterally. Two connecting ends 22 bypass the corresponding engaging members 1103 and then move away from the box body 100. The two engaging members 1103 are provided, for example, symmetrically on the rear plate 1032. The lateral distance between the two engaging members 1103 corresponds to the lateral width W1.

[0081] In some embodiments, the guide structure 111 may include, for example, an engaging member 1103 positioned at a lateral intermediate position of the rear plate 1032, with two connecting ends 22 intersecting and passing through a passage 110 of the engaging member 1103, and then extending diagonally downward.

[0082] Figure 11 schematically shows a box body fixing structure 1000 according to a third embodiment of the present invention. This box body fixing structure 1000 comprises a box body 100, a restraint belt 200, and an adjuster 300. Wherever it is not inconsistent, the description of the box body 100 may refer to that of the first embodiment. For example, the box body 100 includes a bottom plate 101, a top plate 102, a front side plate 1031, a rear side plate 1032, a left side plate 1033, and a right side plate 1034. Where it is not inconsistent, the description of the restraint belt 200 may refer to that of the first embodiment. For example, the restraint belt 200 may include a first sub-belt 210 and two second sub-belts 220. The restraint belt 200 as a whole has a Y shape. The first end of the first sub-belt 210 corresponds to the adjustment end 21 of the restraint belt 200, and the second end of the first sub-belt 210 is connected to the first ends of the two second sub-belts 220. The second ends of the two second sub-belts 220 correspond to two connection ends 22, and each connection end 22 is provided with an anchor 26. Where there is no contradiction, the regulator 300 may refer to the regulator 300 of the first embodiment.

[0083] Referring to Figure 11, in some embodiments, the adjuster 300 may be mounted on the front side of the top plate 102 of the box body 100. The restraint belt 200 corresponds to the top plate 102 and rear plate 1032 of the box body 100, with two connecting ends 22 extending from the top plate 102 to the rear and below the rear plate 1032. More specifically, the first sub-belt 210 and the adjuster 300 are connected in an adjustable manner. The first ends of two second sub-belts 220 may be connected to the second ends of the first sub-belt 210 above the top plate 102 or behind the rear plate 1032. The second ends of the two second sub-belts 220 extend to the rear and below the box body 100 and can be connected to the corresponding socket 42 via anchors 26.

[0084] In some embodiments, the entire rear plate 1034 may be made of a rigid material. In some embodiments, the adjuster 300 may be located on the front plate 1031, for example, close to the top plate 102.

[0085] Figure 12 schematically shows a box body fixing structure 1000 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. This box body fixing structure 1000 is a variation of the box body fixing structure 1000 according to the third embodiment. To the extent that it does not contradict the description of the third embodiment, the parts and component relationships of the box body fixing structure 1000 of this embodiment can be described by referring to the description of the third embodiment. The following description will focus on the differences between this embodiment and the third embodiment.

[0086] Referring to Figure 12, the restraint belt 200 forms an annular structure 201, and the box body 100 is restrained within the annular structure 201, with the anchor 26 approaching the bottom of the box body 100. More specifically, the restraint belt includes one first sub-belt 210 and two second sub-belts 220, and further includes a third sub-belt 230 and two fourth sub-belts 240. The first end of the third sub-belt 230 is connected to the first sub-belt 210, and the second end of the third sub-belt 230 is connected to the first ends of the two fourth sub-belts 240. The second ends of the two fourth sub-belts 240 are connected corresponding to the two second sub-belts 220 to form an annular structure 201 that restrains the box body 100. The third sub-belt 230 and the two fourth sub-belts 240 bypass the front side plate 1031 and the bottom plate 101 of the box body 100. The connection points between each fourth sub-belt 240 and the corresponding third sub-belt 230 are close to the anchor 26.

[0087] In some embodiments, the adjuster 300 includes the lock 310 in the first embodiment, and the first sub-belt 210 and the third sub-belt 230 may overlap each other and have portions located between the first end 3121 of the locking member 312 (see Figure 3) and the passage wall 3111 of the locking passage 311. When the locking member 312 is in the locked state, the locking member 312 can lock the position of the restraining belt 200 by bringing the overlapping first sub-belt 210 and the third sub-belt 230 into contact with the passage wall 3111 of the locking passage 311. When the user pulls the adjuster end 21, the first sub-belt 210 and the third sub-belt 230 slide simultaneously against the locking passage 311, thereby reducing the annular structure 201 and embracing the box body 100. Of course, in some other embodiments, the adjuster 300 may have other embodiments.

[0088] In the above embodiment, the user manually operates the adjustment end 21 by pulling the restraint belt 200, but the method of pulling the restraint belt 200 is not limited to this. For example, in some embodiments, the adjustment end 21 is wound around a roll, and the restraint belt 200 can be pulled or loosened by electrically controlling the rotation direction of the roll.

[0089] In the box body fixing structure according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is sufficient that the length of the restraint belt 200 positioned between the adjuster 300 and the anchor 26 can be adjusted so that the restraint belt 200 between the box body 100 and the anchor point does not become loose. In some embodiments, the restraint belt 200 does not need to have a special adjustment end 21. In some embodiments, the first sub-belt 210 is not essential.

[0090] In the above embodiment, a box body fixing structure according to an embodiment of the present invention was described. However, the box body fixing structure can also be provided as a transport device. Hereinafter, embodiments of the transport device according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 13 to 53.

[0091] In Figures 13 to 53, arrow F indicates the forward direction, arrow B indicates the backward direction, arrow L indicates the left direction, and arrow R indicates the right direction. These directional terms are used to clarify the description of the embodiments of the present invention and do not unduly limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0092] Fifth Embodiment Figures 13 to 15 are perspective views showing a transport device 1000A (e.g., an animal transport device or other type of transport device) provided by the fifth embodiment. In Figures 13 and 14, the LATCH structure 300A is in use. In Figure 15, the LATCH structure 300A is in non-use (also referred to as stored) state.

[0093] As shown in Figures 13 to 15, the transport device 1000A includes a main body 100A, which may be, but is not limited to, a pet box, pet carrier basket, pet pack, etc. If the transport device 1000A is an animal transport device, the main body 100A has a space for accommodating an animal. The main body 100A may be a single molded product, or it may be assembled from multiple parts. In some embodiments, the main body 100A can be divided into a bottom 101A and an upper part 102A attached above the bottom 101A. The bottom 101A is made of, for example, a rigid material and supports the upper part 102A. The upper part 102A may include a fabric sheet and other materials surrounding the space for accommodating an animal. A LATCH structure 300A is installed on the underside of the bottom 101A, and the LATCH structure 300A is detachably connected to an ISOFIX structure (or anchor structure) on a vehicle seat. More specifically, the LATCH structure 300A includes, for example, at least one connecting member 31, each connecting member 31 being joined to a connection point of an ISOFIX structure in a vehicle seat. In this embodiment, the LATCH structure 300A includes two connecting members 31. One end of each connecting member 31 is pivotally attached to the bottom 101A by, for example, a pivot (not shown), and the LATCH structure 300A has an in-use state and an in-use state as each connecting member 31 rotates left and right around the pivot.

[0094] When the LATCH structure 300A is in use, each connecting member 31 extends outside the main body 100A by rotating around a pivot to reach the use position, thereby allowing the other end of each connecting member 31 to connect to the ISOFIX structure connection point on the vehicle seat. When the LATCH structure 300A is not in use, each connecting member 31 may reach the non-use position (also called the storage position) by approaching the main body 100A by rotating around a pivot.

[0095] The back surface of the bottom portion 101A has at least one storage space 1010 for accommodating the connecting members 31. In this embodiment, the back surface of the bottom portion 101A has two storage spaces 1010 simultaneously, and the two storage spaces 1010 are installed facing each other on the left and right sides of the back surface of the bottom portion 101A. The two storage spaces 1010 correspond to two connecting members 31. When the LATCH structure 300A is not in use, each connecting member 31 rotates around its pivot to a storage position and is housed in the corresponding storage space 1010. For example, the outer surface of the housed LATCH structure 300A is substantially flush with the outer surface of the bottom portion 101A.

[0096] Each connecting member 31 can be locked in a retracted position by any suitable locking mechanism. The LATCH structure 300A may further include a spring to drive each connecting member 31 to a working position. The spring is provided, for example, between each connecting member 31 and the bottom 101A. When the LATCH structure 300A is in the working state, each connecting member 31 is unlocked and each connecting member 31 is automatically ejected by the reaction force of the spring.

[0097] In this embodiment, the two connecting members 31 rotate horizontally along opposing directions, thereby rotating from the storage position to the usage position, or from the usage position to the storage position. The rotation angles of the two connecting members 31 are 90 degrees or less in each case. In some alternative embodiments, the two connecting members 31 can rotate horizontally in the same direction so that they can be switched between the usage position and the storage position.

[0098] In some embodiments, the LATCH structure 300A includes two or more connecting members 31, which may correspond to the number of accommodation spaces 1010. The two or more connecting members 31 may be connected to two or more connection points of the ISOFIX structure of the vehicle seat.

[0099] Sixth Embodiment Figures 16 and 17 are perspective views showing a transport device 1000A (e.g., an animal transport device or other type of transport device) provided by the sixth embodiment. The transport device 1000A includes a body 100A, the body 100A having a mounting space for accommodating an animal when the transport device 1000A is an animal transport device.

[0100] A connecting base 600 may be placed between the main body 100A and the vehicle seat, and the connecting base 600 comprises a LATCH structure 300A, and the LATCH structure 300A can be connected to the ISOFIX structure of the vehicle. More specifically, the LATCH structure 300A may include, for example, at least one connecting member 31, and each connecting member 31 may be connected to a connection point of the ISOFIX structure in the vehicle seat. In this embodiment, the LATCH structure 300A includes two connecting members 31. One end of each connecting member 31 is pivotally attached to the connecting base 600 by, for example, a pivot (not shown). Each connecting member 31 extends outward from or approaches the connecting base 600 by horizontal rotation in the same or opposite direction, thereby the LATCH structure 300A has an in-use state and an in-use state (also referred to as a stored state).

[0101] The back surface of the connection base 600 may have a housing space 610 configured such that each connection member 31 is housed in the housing space 610 of the connection base 600 when the LATCH structure 300A is not in use.

[0102] In this embodiment, the main body 100A has an inner recessed space 110A, in which a rigid rod member 112 is installed, and the rigid rod member 112 is, for example, a metal rod member. A connecting base 600 is separated from the main body 100A, and the connecting base 600 has an engaging structure 220A, which includes, for example, a hook. The engaging structure 220A is detachably connected to the rod member 112 on the main body 100A, so that the main body 100A can be fixed to the vehicle seat via the detachable connecting base 600. When the transport device 1000A is in use, the engaging structure 220A is locked to the rod member 112, connecting the connecting member 31 to the ISOFIX structure connection point of the vehicle seat.

[0103] The connecting base 600 may further include a release device (not shown) used to release the lock of the engaging structure 220A on the rod member 112. Once the lock of the rod member 112 by the engaging structure 220A is released, the main body 100A can be separated from the connecting base 600.

[0104] In some alternative embodiments, the connecting base 600 is slidably connected to the bottom 101A of the main body 100A such that the connecting base 600 has a use position and a storage position. For example, the bottom of the main body 100A may be provided with a housing cavity, which houses and locks the connecting base 600 in the storage position when it is in the storage position. After the connecting base 600 is unlocked, it can extend horizontally rearward from the housing cavity and be locked in the use position after it reaches the use position. The main body 100A can then be connected to the ISOFIX structure of the vehicle seat via a LATCH structure 300A on the connecting base 600.

[0105] In some alternative embodiments, the connecting base 600 is pivotally attached to the bottom 101A of the main body 100A such that the connecting base 600 has a use position and a storage position. When the connecting base 600 is in the storage position, it pivots to a position where it is attached to the back or bottom surface of the main body 100A. When the connecting base 600 is in the use position, when the connecting base 600 pivots to a horizontal position, the connecting base 600 extends rearward from the main body 100A. The main body 100A can then be connected to the ISOFIX structure of the vehicle seat via the LATCH structure 300A on the connecting base 600.

[0106] Seventh Embodiment Figures 18 to 21 are perspective views showing a transport device 1000A (e.g., an animal transport device or other type of transport device) provided by the seventh embodiment. In Figures 18 and 19, the LATCH structure 300A is in use. In Figure 20, the LATCH structure 300A is in non-use (also referred to as stored) state.

[0107] The transport device 1000A includes a main body 100A. If the transport device 1000A is an animal transport device, the main body 100A has a space for accommodating an animal. The bottom 101A of the main body 100A is equipped with a LATCH structure 300A, which is installed on the underside of the bottom 101A and can be detachably connected to an ISOFIX structure on a vehicle seat.

[0108] The LATCH structure 300A includes, for example, at least one connecting member 31, each connecting member 31 may be joined and fixed to a connection point of an ISOFIX structure on the vehicle seat. In this embodiment, the LATCH structure 300A includes two connecting members 31. One end of each connecting member 31 is pivotally attached to the bottom 101A by, for example, a pivot (not shown), and the LATCH structure 300A has an in-use state and an in-use state by rotating up and down about the pivot. When the LATCH structure 300A is in use, each connecting member 31 extends outside the main body 100A to reach the in-use position, so that the other end of each connecting member 31 can be connected to a connection point of an ISOFIX structure on the vehicle seat. When the LATCH structure 300A is in non-use, each connecting member 31 may move closer to the main body 100A to reach the non-use position (also called the stowed position).

[0109] For example, the back surface of the bottom portion 101A has at least one storage space 1010 for accommodating the connecting member 31. In this embodiment, the back surface of the bottom portion 101A has two storage spaces 1010 spaced apart in the left-right direction, and the two storage spaces 1010 extend upward from the bottom surface of the main body 100A. The heights of the two storage spaces 1010 are approximately the same, and they may be parallel to each other. The two storage spaces 1010 correspond to two connecting members 31. When the LATCH structure 300A is not in use, each connecting member 31 rotates around a pivot to a storage position and is housed in the corresponding storage space 1010. For example, the outer surface of the housed LATCH structure 300A may be flush with the outer surface of the bottom portion 101A, or it may be recessed or protruding from the outer surface of the bottom portion 101A.

[0110] The storage space 1010 may be formed integrally with the bottom 101A, or it may be two separate storage spaces independent of the bottom 101A. When the storage space 1010 and the bottom 101A are formed integrally, the storage space 1010 may be a semi-open space or may extend upward from the surface of the bottom 101A.

[0111] Each connecting member 31 can be locked in a retracted position by any suitable locking mechanism. The LATCH structure 300A may further include a spring to drive each connecting member 31 to a working position. The spring is provided, for example, between each connecting member 31 and the bottom 101A. When the LATCH structure 300A is in the working state, each connecting member 31 is unlocked and each connecting member 31 is automatically ejected by the reaction force of the spring.

[0112] In this embodiment, the two connecting members 31 rotate vertically along a first direction (from top to bottom) to the usage position, with a rotation angle in the range of, for example, 90-180 degrees. When the LATCH structure 300A is not in use, the two connecting members 31 rotate vertically along a second direction (from bottom to top) to the storage position, and the two connecting members 31 are stored in the storage space 1010. The first and second directions are opposite.

[0113] Eighth Embodiment Figure 22 is a plan perspective view of the transport device 1000A according to the eighth embodiment (for example, an animal transport device or another type of transport device), Figure 23 is a perspective view of the transport device 1000A mounted on a vehicle seat, and Figures 24 and 25 are bottom perspective views showing the transport device 1000A.

[0114] The transport device 1000A includes a main body 100A, the main body 100A having a space for accommodating animals when the transport device 1000A is an animal transport device. The transport device 1000A has two rails 120, the two rails 120 are installed perpendicularly and parallel to the front or back of the main body 100A, and in this embodiment the two rails 120 are installed on the back of the main body 100A.

[0115] The transport device 1000A further includes a rigid rod member 121, the rigid rod member 121 and the rail 120 being installed on the same surface of the main body 100A, and both ends of the rod member 121 are slidably mounted on two rails 120 so that it can move up and down on the rail 120.

[0116] An engaging device (not shown) for locking the position of the rod member 121 may be provided on the rail 120 (for example, inside the rail 120). When the engaging device is in the locked state, the rod member 121 is locked at a predetermined height on the rail 120 and does not move up or down. When the engaging device is in the unlocked state, the engaging device releases the lock on the rod member 121, allowing the rod member 121 to move up and down along the rail 120.

[0117] The transport device 1000A can detachably connect the LATCH structure 300A to the ISOFIX structure of the vehicle seat 900. More specifically, the LATCH structure 300A may include, for example, at least one connecting member 31, each connecting member 31 being connected to a connection point of the ISOFIX structure in the vehicle seat. In this embodiment, the LATCH structure 300A includes two connecting members 31.

[0118] The LATCH structure 300A further includes two braided belts 32 connected to two connecting members 31. For example, the connecting member 31 includes a connecting hole 310A through which the braided belts 32 pass, allowing the connecting member 31 to slide along the braided belts 32. The first end 321 of the braided belt 32 and the second end 322 of the braided belt 32, connected to the rod member 121, may extend forward of the body 100A after a locking mechanism 33 is drilled into the back or bottom surface of the body 100A. The locking mechanism 33 is, for example, an A-LOCK.

[0119] When the locking mechanism 33 is in the locked state, it locks the braided belt 32, and at this time, it is permissible to shorten the length of the braided belt 32 between the first end 321 and the locking mechanism 33 by pulling the second end 322 of the braided belt 32, but it is not permissible to lengthen the length of the braided belt 32 between the first end 321 and the locking mechanism 33 by moving the main body 100A forward. When the locking mechanism 33 is in the unlocked state, the locking mechanism 33 releases the lock on the braided belt 32.

[0120] When the locking mechanism 33 is installed close to the front of the bottom 101A of the main body 100A, a guide structure 34 may be installed on the rear side of the bottom 101A of the main body 100A, and the second end 322 of the braided belt 32 may be installed so as to pass the locking mechanism 33 after passing the guide structure 34. The guide structure 34 includes, for example, a recess 341 provided at the bottom of the main body 100A and a support bar 342 attached to the recess 341, and the braided belt 32 bypasses the support bar 342.

[0121] When the transport device 1000A is in use, the connecting member 31 is connected to the connection point of the vehicle seat ISOFIX structure, the locking mechanism 33 is locked, and the braided belt 32 can be pulled and positioned in use by moving the rod member 121 upward. In this way, the connection of the two connecting members 21 to the two connection points of the vehicle seat ISOFIX structure, and the connection point between the first end 321 of the braided belt 32 and the rod member 121 are separated from the surface of the vehicle seat, allowing the main body 100A to receive the tensile force of the inclined portion between the first end 321 of the braided belt 32 and the connecting member 21. Due to the action of this tensile force, the main body 100A can avoid tipping over or twisting in the event of an unexpected collision with the vehicle.

[0122] When attempting to separate the connecting member 31 from the ISOFIX structure of the vehicle seat, moving the rod member 121 downwards and loosening the braided belt 32 makes it easier for the LATCH structure 300A to detach from the ISOFIX structure of the vehicle seat. Of course, the braided belt 32 can also be loosened by releasing the locking mechanism 33, which makes it easier for the LATCH structure 300A to detach from the ISOFIX structure of the vehicle seat.

[0123] In some embodiments, the main body 100A is provided with a separate storage space (not shown), which is located on the same surface as the rail 120 and the main body 100A, and can accommodate the connecting member 31 or the entire LATCH structure 300A.

[0124] Ninth Embodiment Figure 26 is a rear perspective view of the transport device 1000A according to the ninth embodiment (for example, an animal transport device or another type of transport device), Figure 27 is a front perspective view of the transport device 1000A, and Figure 28 is a bottom perspective view of the transport device 1000A.

[0125] The transport device 1000A includes a main body 100A, which has a space for accommodating an animal when the transport device 1000A is an animal transport device. On the underside of the main body 100A, at least one guide structure 131 and at least one locking mechanism 33 are installed, the locking mechanism 33 being, for example, close to the bottom surface of the main body 100A, and the guide structure 131 being higher than the locking mechanism 33. The guide structure 131 includes, for example, a C-shaped member. The locking mechanism 33 is, for example, an A-LOCK. For example, there are two guide structures 131 and two locking mechanisms 33.

[0126] The transport device 1000A can detachably connect the LATCH structure 300A to the ISOFIX structure of the vehicle seat 900. More specifically, the LATCH structure 300A may include, for example, at least one connecting member 31, each connecting member 31 being joined to a connection point of the ISOFIX structure in the vehicle seat. In this embodiment, the LATCH structure 300A includes two connecting members 31.

[0127] The LATCH structure 300A further includes a braided belt 32 connected to the connecting member 31, with both ends of the braided belt 32 passing through corresponding guide structures 131 and locking mechanisms 33 to connect to the two connecting members 31. The central portion 323 of the braided belt 32 is pulled up by the user. When the locking mechanism 33 is locked, the braided belt 32 is locked, and at this time, it is permissible to pull the braided belt 32 by pulling the central portion 323 of the braided belt 32, thereby shortening the length of the braided belt 32 that is positioned between the connecting member 21 and the locking mechanism 33, but it is not permissible to lengthen the length of the braided belt 32 that is positioned between the connecting member 21 and the locking mechanism 33 by moving the main body 100A forward. When the locking mechanism 33 is unlocked, the locking mechanism 33 unlocks the braided belt 32. In some embodiments, the braided belt 32 may be detached from the central portion 323.

[0128] The braided belt 32 may be provided with an adjuster 34A that allows adjustment of the length of the braided belt 32. The adjuster 34A is located, for example, between the locking mechanism 33 and the connecting member 31.

[0129] When the LATCH structure 300A is in use, the central portion 323 of the braided belt 32 can surround the headrest portion fixed to the vehicle seat. When the vehicle is involved in a collision, the fixing of the headrest of the vehicle seat and the two ISOFIX connection points prevents the main body 100A from twisting or tipping over.

[0130] In some alternative embodiments, the body 100A has a housing space (not shown), the walls of which may be made of a rigid material, and which may be located on the bottom surface of the body 100A and communicate with the outer surface of the body 100A. The body 100A may further include two extensions (not shown in the drawings of this embodiment, but refer to the extension 14 shown in Figure 29 of the tenth embodiment), each extension extending upward from the bottom surface of the body 100A, which may be a semi-open passage or a hollow passage and have an upper opening approaching the top surface of the body 100A. A LATCH structure 300A is connected to the body 100A, and the LATCH structure 300A includes a braided belt 32, which extends in the housing space and the extensions and can extend outside the body 100A through the upper opening of the extensions. The LATCH structure 300A includes at least one connecting member 31 connected to the braided belt 32. For example, the LATCH structure 300A includes two connecting members 31, and the connection relationship between the two connecting members 31 and the braided belt 32 can be seen in Figure 26, such that the central portion of the braided belt 32 extends out of the main body 100A through an upper opening of the extension, with the two connecting members 31 located at both ends of the same braided belt 32. When the LATCH structure 300A is in use, the connecting members 31 extend out of the dwelling space and connect to the connection points of the ISOFIX structure on the vehicle seat. When the LATCH structure 300A is not in use, the connecting members 31 may be detached from the connection points of the ISOFIX structure on the vehicle seat and housed in the dwelling space. The dwelling space or extension may further include a locking mechanism (e.g., A-LOCK) configured to lock or unlock the braided belt 32. When the LATCH structure 300A is in use, pulling up the braided belt 32 extending from the upper opening pulls the portion of the braided belt 32 located between the connecting member 31 and the locking mechanism, thereby locking the braided belt 32 with the locking mechanism. If the extended portion is a semi-open passage, a guide structure (for example, a structure like the guide structure 131 in Figure 26) can be placed in the extended portion to prevent the braided belt 32 from falling out of the extended portion.

[0131] Tenth Embodiment Figure 29 is a rear perspective view of the transport device 1000A according to the 10th embodiment (for example, an animal transport device or other type of transport device) with the LATCH structure 300A in use. Figure 30 shows yet another rear perspective view of the transport device 1000A with the LATCH structure 300A in non-use state (also referred to as stored state). Figure 31 shows a rear view of the transport device 1000A shown in Figure 30. Figure 32 shows a front perspective view of this transport device 1000A.

[0132] The contents of this tenth embodiment are largely the same as those of the ninth embodiment, and the following will mainly describe the differences between this embodiment and the ninth embodiment. The main body 100A includes a storage space. The storage space may include two independent extensions 14 that extend from the bottom surface to the top surface of the main body 100A. The extensions may be hollow passages formed inside the main body, or semi-open passages formed on the back surface of the main body 100A and having an upper opening and a bottom opening. The two locking mechanisms 33 may also be installed on the two extensions 14, and the two locking mechanisms 33 are, for example, higher than the bottom surface of the main body 100A. As described in the ninth embodiment, the locking mechanism 33 is, for example, an A-LOCK. The LATCH structure 300A includes a braided belt 32 that enters the two extensions 14 from the top openings of the two extensions 14, drills corresponding locking mechanisms 33 downwards, and is then connected to two connecting members 31.

[0133] As described in the ninth embodiment, when the extended portion is a semi-open passage, the braided belt 32 can be kept from falling off the extended portion by placing a guide structure (for example, a structure like the guide structure 131 in Figure 26) in the extended portion. Of course, this guide structure is not necessary.

[0134] When the LATCH structure 300A is in use, the locking mechanism 33 is released, the two connecting members 31 are pulled out from the extended portion 14, and then the two connecting members 31 are connected to the two connection points of the ISOFIX structure of the vehicle seat. Then, the central portion 323 of the braided belt 32 is pulled to shorten the length of the braided belt 32 that is located between the locking mechanism 33 and the connecting members 21, causing the braided belt 32 to be in a tensed state, and the locking mechanism 33 locks the braided belt 32, preventing the portion of the braided belt 32 located between the locking mechanism 33 and the connecting members 21 from becoming long and loose. The central portion 323 of the braided belt 32 is fixed to the headrest of the vehicle seat, and when the car is hit by a collision, the fixing by the vehicle seat headrest and the two connection points of the ISOFIX structure prevents the main body 100A from twisting or tipping over.

[0135] When the LATCH structure 300A is not in use, the connecting member 31 can be separated from the ISOFIX structure of the vehicle seat, and at this time, the central part 323 of the braided belt can be pulled up, allowing the connecting member 31 to be stored in the extended part 14 through the bottom opening of the extended part 14.

[0136] 11th Embodiment Figure 33 is a rear perspective view of the transport device 1000A (for example, an animal transport device or another type of transport device) according to the 11th embodiment. Figure 34 shows a front bottom view of the transport device 1000A where the male buckle 351 and female buckle 352 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 35 engage with each other. Figure 35 shows a rear bottom view of the transport device 1000A where the male buckle 351 and female buckle 352 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 35 engage with each other. Figure 36 is a front view of the transport device 1000A shown in Figure 35.

[0137] The transport device 1000A includes a main body 100A, which has a space for accommodating an animal when the transport device 1000A is an animal transport device. The main body 100A is connected to and fixed to the ISOFIX structure of the vehicle seat via a LATCH structure 300A. The LATCH structure 300A includes at least one connecting member 31, each connecting member 31 may be joined to the ISOFIX structure in the vehicle seat. The LATCH structure 300A further includes at least one braided belt 32, and at least one connecting member 31 is connected to the main body 100A via at least one braided belt 32. In the drawing, the LATCH structure 300A includes two connecting members 31 and two braided belts 32. The two braided belts 32 are fitted to the main body 100A so that the LATCH structure 300A can be separated from the main body 100A.

[0138] The braided belt 32 is provided with a magnetic buckle mechanism 35. More specifically, the braided belt 32 includes a first braided belt segment 321A and a second braided belt segment 322A, defining an annular structure in which the first braided belt segment 321A and the second braided belt segment 322A are fitted to the main body 100A. One end of the first braided belt segment 321A is position-adjustable to the second braided belt segment 322A via an adjuster 324, and one end of the second braided belt segment 322A is connected to a connecting member 31. The adjuster 324 is located between the back surface of the main body 100A and the connecting member 31. The other end of the first braided belt segment 321A and the other end of the second braided belt segment 322A are detachably connected by the magnetic buckle mechanism 35.

[0139] The magnetic buckle mechanism 35 includes, for example, a male buckle 351 and a female buckle 352, the male buckle 351 connecting to one of a first braided belt segment 321A and a second braided belt segment 322A, and the female buckle 352 connecting to the other of the first braided belt segment 321A and the second braided belt segment 322A. The male buckle 351 has an outwardly projecting structure 3511, and the female buckle 352 includes a cavity 3520 for coupling with the outwardly projecting structure 3511 of the male buckle 351. A groove 3510 is provided in the outwardly projecting structure 3511, and the female buckle 352 further includes a locking mechanism 3521, the locking mechanism 3521 can engage with the groove 3510 within the cavity 3520. The groove 3510 may be a partially annular or fully annular structure.

[0140] The female buckle 352 is further provided with a release belt 353, which is operablely connected to the locking mechanism 3521. Specifically, pulling the release belt 353 causes the release mechanism 3521 to disengage from the groove 3510 of the male buckle 351, further separating the male buckle 351 and the female buckle 352. The locking mechanism 3521 may be equipped with a magnetic device, or a magnetic device may be installed on the male buckle 351 (for example, on the outwardly protruding structure 3511), so that the magnetic devices of the male buckle 351 and the locking mechanism 3521 attract each other, further strengthening the fastening between the male buckle 351 and the female buckle 352.

[0141] When the male buckle 351 and female buckle 352 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 35 are fastened together, the braided belt 32 surrounds the main body 100A, and the magnetic buckle mechanism 35 is positioned in front of the main body 100A. For example, the first braided belt segment 321A of the braided belt 32 extends from the top surface to the back surface of the main body 100A, and the second braided belt segment 322A extends from the bottom surface to the back surface of the main body 100A. By separating the male buckle 351 and female buckle 352 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 35, the main body 100A and the LATCH structure 300A can be easily separated.

[0142] Twelfth Embodiment Figure 37 is a rear plan view of the transport device 1000A according to the 12th embodiment (for example, an animal transport device or other type of transport device). Figure 38 shows a front plan view of the transport device 1000A. Figure 39 shows a rear bottom view of the transport device 1000A. Figure 40 shows a rear view of the transport device 1000A.

[0143] The transport device 1000A includes a main body 100A, the main body 100A having a space for accommodating an animal when the transport device 1000A is an animal transport device. A fixing device 400A is provided on one side of the main body 100A, and the fixing device 400A may be formed integrally with the main body 100A or may be separate. The fixing device is installed perpendicularly to the outer surface of the fixing device 400A and has a plurality of engagement grooves 41 that can be coupled with the lever 81 of the suitcase 800.

[0144] An engagement structure (not shown) is installed inside the engagement groove 41, and the engagement structure can be adapted to levers 81 of different thicknesses and / or different widths W. By engaging the engagement structure with the lever 81, the locking device 400A and the lever 81 can be prevented from separating. The firm connection between the locking device 400A and the lever 81 of the suitcase 800 allows the main body 100A to be securely placed above the suitcase 800, effectively reducing the shaking of the main body 100A and preventing the main body 100A from separating from the suitcase 800.

[0145] The transport device 1000A further includes a LATCH structure 300A, the structure of the LATCH structure 300A and the method of connecting it to the main body 100A can refer to the method of connecting the LATCH structure 300A and its main body 100A described in the fifth to tenth embodiments.

[0146] In this embodiment, the LATCH structure 300A and the fixing device 400A are connected, and the method of connecting them can refer to the method of connecting the LATCH structure 300A and the main body 100A in the ninth embodiment. Specifically, the LATCH structure 300A includes a braided belt 32 and two connecting members 31, and a guide structure 131 and a locking mechanism 33 may be attached to the fixing device 400A. After both ends of the braided belt 32 pass through the corresponding guide structure 131 and locking mechanism 33, they are connected to the two connecting members 31, so that each connecting member 31 can be connected to two connection points of the ISOFIX structure on the vehicle seat. The central part 323 of the braided belt 32 is pulled up by the user.

[0147] Furthermore, when the transport device 1000A is fixed to a vehicle seat, in addition to being connected to ISOFIX via the connecting member 31, the central portion 323 of the braided belt 32 can be fixed to the vehicle seat headrest, thereby improving the stability of the main body 100A being fixed to the vehicle seat. When the transport device 1000A is fixed to the suitcase 800, the central portion 323 of the braided belt 32 may bypass the lever 81.

[0148] 13th Embodiment Figure 41 is a rear plan view of the transport device 1000A according to the 13th embodiment (for example, an animal transport device or other type of transport device), showing the state in which the male buckle 361 and female buckle 362 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 36 are locked together. Figure 42 is a front plan view of the transport device 1000A. Figure 43 is a side view of the transport device 1000A in which the male buckle 361 and female buckle 362 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 36 are engaged with each other. Figure 44 is a rear bottom view of the transport device 1000A in which the male buckle 361 and female buckle 362 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 36 are separated from each other. Figure 45 is yet another side view of the transport device 1000A in which the male buckle 361 and female buckle 362 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 36 are separated from each other.

[0149] The transport device 1000A includes a main body 100A, which has a space for accommodating an animal when the transport device 1000A is an animal transport device. The transport device 1000A further includes a LATCH structure 300A to which the LATCH structure 300A is connected and fixed to the ISOFIX structure of the vehicle seat. For example, the LATCH structure 300A includes at least one connecting member 31, each connecting member 31 may be connected to a connection point of the ISOFIX structure in the vehicle seat. The main body 100A and the LATCH structure 300A can be conveniently connected or disconnected quickly by a magnetic buckle mechanism 36. The magnetic buckle mechanism 36 includes a male buckle 361 and a female buckle 362, one of which is installed on the outer surface of the main body 100A and the other on the LATCH structure 300A.

[0150] One or more magnetic buckle mechanisms 36 may be provided between the main body 100A and the LATCH structure 300A. To the extent that they do not conflict, the structure of the male buckle 361 and female buckle 362 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 36 may refer to the structure of the male buckle 361 and female buckle 362 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 35 in the 13th embodiment.

[0151] Specifically, the male buckle 361 includes a female buckle 362, and the male buckle 361 includes a cavity 3620 configured to engage with a structure 3611 projecting outward from the female buckle 361. The outwardly projecting structure 3611 is provided with a groove 3610, and the female buckle 362 further includes a locking mechanism 3621, which can engage with the groove 3610 within the cavity 3620. The groove 3610 may be a partially annular or fully annular structure. The female buckle 362 is further provided with a release belt 363, which is operably connected to the locking mechanism 3621. Specifically, pulling the release belt 363 can cause the release mechanism 3621 to disengage from the groove 3610 of the male buckle 361, further separating the male buckle 361 and the female buckle 362. The two female buckles 362 are connected, for example, to both ends of the same release belt 363, so that when the release belt 363 is pulled, the two magnetic buckle mechanisms 36 can be released synchronously.

[0152] A magnetic device may be installed on the locking mechanism 3621, and a magnetic device may also be installed on the male buckle 361 (for example, the outwardly protruding structure 3611), so that the magnetic devices of the male buckle 361 and the locking mechanism 3621 attract each other, further strengthening the fastening between the male buckle 361 and the female buckle 362.

[0153] In this embodiment, two magnetic buckle mechanisms 36 are installed between the main body 100A and the LATCH structure 300A, with two female buckles 362 installed on the outer surface (e.g., the back surface) of the main body 100A and two male buckles 361 installed on the LATCH structure 300A. The LATCH structure 300A includes two connecting members 31, which are connected to the two male buckles 361 via two braided belts 32. In some embodiments, the two male buckles 361 may be connected via a connecting belt 325.

[0154] The two female buckles 362 are provided on the outer surface of the main body 100A, parallel to each other and away from the bottom surface of the main body 100A. In some embodiments, a slide groove or slide rail 15A may be separately installed on the outer surface of the main body 100A, and the slide groove or slide rail 15A may be located on the same surface as the two female buckles 362 and the main body 100A, and the two female buckles 362 can slide along the slide groove or slide rail 15A to adjust their relative position.

[0155] When the transport device 1000A is in use, the LATCH structure 300A is connected to the main body 100A via a magnetic buckle mechanism 36 and to two connection points of the ISOFIX structure of the vehicle seat via two connecting members 31. The distance between the two female buckles 362 is, for example, greater than or equal to the distance between the two connection points of the ISOFIX structure of the vehicle seat.

[0156] Furthermore, when the transport device 1000A is in use, the connecting belt 325 surrounds the headrest fixed to the vehicle seat, and in the event of a collision, the main body 100A can be prevented from being twisted or overturned by being secured by the vehicle seat headrest and the two connection points of the ISOFIX structure.

[0157] 14th Embodiment Figure 46 is a perspective view showing the main body 100A of the transport device 1000A according to Embodiment 14 (for example, an animal transport device or other type of transport device) attached to the top surface of a suitcase 800 but not connected to the suitcase 800. Figure 47 is a top view of the main body 100A and suitcase 800 shown in Figure 46. Figure 48 is a perspective view showing the connection between the main body 100A and the suitcase 800.

[0158] To the extent that they do not contradict each other, the structure of the main body 100A in this embodiment can be described by referring to the description in the 13th embodiment. More specifically, if the transport device 1000A is an animal transport device, the main body 100A has a space for accommodating an animal. Two buckles are installed on the outer surface of the main body 100A, for example, the two buckles are, for example, female buckles 362, and the two female buckles 362 can slide along a slide groove or the slide rail 15A to adjust their relative positions. The specific structure of the female buckles 362 will not be described in detail.

[0159] This embodiment further provides a magnetic buckle adjustment mechanism 500, which includes two buckles 51 and an adjustment mechanism 52.

[0160] The two buckles 51 are, for example, male buckles, configured to engage with a female buckle 362. The male buckles may have outwardly projecting structures 511, which are configured to connect to a cavity 3620 of the female buckle 362. A groove 510 is provided in the outwardly projecting structure 511, and a locking mechanism 3621 of the female buckle 362 can engage with the groove 510 within the cavity 3620. The female buckle 362 is further provided with a release belt 363, which is operably connected to the locking mechanism 3621. The groove 510 may be a partially annular or fully annular structure. A magnetic device may be installed on the locking mechanism 3621, and a magnetic device may also be installed on the male buckle (for example, the outwardly protruding structure 511), so that the magnetic devices of the male buckle and the locking mechanism 3621 attract each other, further strengthening the fastening between the buckle 51 and the female buckle 362. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the buckle 51 may be a female buckle, and the buckle in the main body 100A may be a male buckle.

[0161] The two buckles 51 are connected by an adjustment mechanism 52. The adjustment mechanism 52 allows for further adjustment of the relative distance between the two buckles 51. This magnetic buckle adjustment mechanism 500 (adjustment mechanism 52 or the two buckles 51) is connected (for example, detachably connected) to two parallel rods of the lever 81 of the suitcase 800. By adjusting the relative distance between the two buckles 51 with the adjustment mechanism 52, the distance between the two buckles 51 can be matched to the width W of the lever 81 of different suitcases.

[0162] Combining this with the description in the 13th embodiment, the buckle 51 of the magnetic buckle adjustment mechanism 500 is capable of engaging with the buckle of the main body 100A of the transport device 1000A, and by unlocking the engagement between the two using the unlock belt 363, the main body 100A can be stably installed on the suitcase 800 or quickly separated from the suitcase 800.

[0163] Embodiment 15 Figure 41 is a rear perspective view of the transport device 1000A according to the 13th embodiment (for example, an animal transport device or other type of transport device), showing the state in which the male buckle 361 and female buckle 362 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 36 are locked together. Figure 50 is a rear perspective view of the transport device 1000A in which the male buckle 361 and female buckle 362 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 36 are separated from each other.

[0164] The transport device 1000A according to the 15th embodiment is a modified version of the transport device 1000A according to the 13th embodiment, and, to the extent that it does not contradict the original, the structure of the transport device 1000A according to the 15th embodiment can refer to the structure of the transport device 1000A according to the 13th embodiment. The main difference between the 15th embodiment and the 13th embodiment is that in the 15th embodiment, the slide groove or slide rail 15A in the 13th embodiment is omitted, and two female buckles 362 can be fixedly connected to the outer surface of the main body 100A.

[0165] Embodiment 16 Figure 51 is a rear perspective view of the transport device 1000A according to the 16th embodiment (for example, an animal transport device or other type of transport device), showing the state in which the male buckle 361 and female buckle 362 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 36 are locked together. Figure 52 is a rear perspective view of the transport device 1000A in which the male buckle 361 and female buckle 362 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 36 are separated from each other. Figure 53 is a front perspective view of the transport device 1000A in which the male buckle 361 and female buckle 362 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 36 are separated from each other.

[0166] The transport device 1000A according to the 16th embodiment is a modified version of the transport device 1000A according to the 15th embodiment, and, to the extent that it does not contradict the original, the structure of the transport device 1000A according to the 16th embodiment can refer to the structure of the transport device 1000A according to the 15th embodiment. The differences between the 16th embodiment and the 15th embodiment will be described below.

[0167] In this embodiment, the main body 100A and the LATCH structure 300A of the transport device 1000A are connected via four magnetic buckle mechanisms 36 that are detached from the bottom surface of the main body 100A. Furthermore, the four magnetic buckle mechanisms 36 are arranged on multiple outer surfaces of the main body 100A; for example, two magnetic buckle mechanisms 36 are arranged on the back surface of the main body 100A, and two magnetic buckle mechanisms 36 are arranged on the left and right sides of the main body 100A, which are opposite each other.

[0168] The female buckles 362 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 36 may be arranged, for example, on the main body 100A, with the female buckles 362 on both the left and right sides each connected to an adjacent female buckle 362 via an unlocking belt 363. The male buckles 361 of the magnetic buckle mechanism 36 are connected in groups of two via braided belts 32, each braided belt 32 being connected to a connecting member 31, the position of the connecting member 31 on the braided belt 32 being adjustable. For example, the connecting member 31 includes a connecting hole 310A, through which the braided belt 32 passes, allowing the connecting member 31 to slide along the braided belt 32.

[0169] Of course, in other embodiments, the positions of the male buckle 361 and the female buckle 362 in the main body 100A and the LATCH structure 300A are interchangeable.

[0170] This embodiment further improves the connection stability between the main body 100A and the vehicle seat ISOFIX structure by installing the magnetic buckle mechanism 36 on different outer surfaces of the main body 100A of the transport device 1000A, thereby preventing the main body 100A from tipping over when the vehicle is hit in a collision.

[0171] The technical features of the embodiments described above can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above have been described, but these combinations of technical features should be considered to fall within the scope described herein, as long as they are not contradictory.

[0172] The embodiments described above are merely examples of some embodiments of the present invention, and although their descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of protection of the invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art can make some modifications and improvements as long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the invention, and these too fall within the scope of protection of the invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be the same as that of the claims.
