[0020] FIGS. 1 and 2 show a child seat 1 of a crotch belt length adjusting device in the present disclosure. Here, the crotch belt 100 of the child seat 1 includes a fixed end 101 and a free end 102 that can be pulled by the user.

[0021] The fixed end 101 of the crotch belt 100 is fixed to the seat portion 10 of the child seat 1. In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2, 4, 5, and 6, a second opening 13 is provided on the upper surface 11 of the seat portion 10, and the fixed end 101 of the crotch belt 100 is fixed to the second opening 13. In one fixing method, after passing through the second opening 13, the fixed end 101 of the crotch belt 100 can be folded multiple times on itself, and the volume of the fixed end 101 is larger than that of the second opening 13, so that it cannot exit from the second opening 13, thereby realizing the fixing. In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the fixed end 101 of the crotch belt 100 can be connected to the fixing member 20 after passing through the second opening 13 so that the fixed end 101 cannot exit from the second opening 13. Of course, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the fixed end 101 of the crotch belt 100 can be fixed to the seat portion 10 of the child seat 1 in a plurality of ways. For example, a hook portion can be provided on the upper surface 11 of the seat portion 10, and the fixed end 101 of the crotch belt 100 can be hooked to the hook portion for fixing.

[0022] Referring to FIGS. 2, 4, and 5, the crotch belt length adjusting device in the present disclosure includes an adjusting structure 200 and a locking structure 300.

[0023] Here, the adjusting structure 200 is provided on the seat portion 10 and can allow the free end 102 to pass through. After the free end 102 passes through the adjusting structure 200, the length of the crotch belt 100 located between the fixed end 101 and the adjusting structure 200 Interval can be increased or decreased.

[0024] Note that the use of the crotch belt 100 Interval refers to the crotch belt 100 located between the fixed end 101 and the adjusting structure 200. Interval The crotch belt 100 and the adjusting structure 200 are not fixedly connected, and the crotch belt 100 can pass through and slide on the adjusting structure 200, so the length of the crotch belt 100 in use Interval changes. The user can pull any part of the crotch belt 100 in use Interval to change the length of the crotch belt 100 in use. IntervalThe length can be increased. On the other hand, by pulling the free end 102 of the crotch belt 100, the user can Interval reduce the length, so that the crotch belt 100 can be suitable for children of different sizes. Interval The length of the crotch belt 100 can be adjusted.

[0025] Also, for the use of the crotch belt 100 Interval a fastener 30 for connecting a shoulder belt (not shown) of the child seat 1 is slidably connected.

[0026] In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the adjustment structure 200 is a first opening penetrating the upper surface 11 of the seat portion 10, and the free end 102 of the crotch belt 100 reaches the lower part of the seat portion 10 through this first opening. Also, in this case, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the length of the crotch belt 100 when the user pulls the free end 102, the free end 102 can be exposed on the upper surface 11 of the seat portion 10 on the side of the seat portion 10. Of course, the free end 102 may be exposed on the upper surface 11 of the seat portion 10 at other parts of the seat portion 10 as long as the user's operation is easy. Interval It should be noted that the adjustment structure 200 in the present disclosure is not limited to this. The adjustment structure 200 may be provided on the ring portion of the upper surface 11 of the seat portion 10, and the free end 102 of the crotch belt 100 passes through this ring portion. Alternatively, as long as the free end 102 of the crotch belt 100 passes through this structure and the crotch belt 100 can slide on this structure, other structures may be adopted for the adjustment structure 200.

[0027] When the use of the crotch belt 100

[0028] is adjusted to an appropriate length, in order to maintain the use section of the crotch belt 100 at its appropriate length, it is necessary to lock it using a lock structure 300 to prevent the length of the crotch belt 100 Interval from continuing to increase or decrease. Interval

[0029] In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the locking structure 300 includes a fixed case 310 and a locking member 320. The fixed case 310 has a U-shaped structure and is fixed to the seat portion 10. The thigh belt passes through the upper surface of the bottom of the U-shaped structure and is located between the bottom of the U-shaped structure and the locking member 320. The locking member 320 is pivotally attached to the fixed case 310, whereby the locking member 320 can pivot between a locked state and an unlocked state. The locking member 320 includes an operating end 321 and a locking end 322. The operating end 321 is exposed to the fixed case 310 for the user to operate, and the locking end 322 can press and lock the thigh belt 100. When the user operates the operating end 321 of the locking member 320 (for example, pulls up the operating end 321) to pivot the locking member 320 to the locked state, the locking end 322 presses and locks the thigh belt 100, and the use of the thigh belt 100 Interval is locked to keep the length of the thigh belt 100 constant. When the user presses the operating end 321 of the locking member 320 downward, the locking member 320 pivots to the unlocked state, the locking end 322 separates from the thigh belt 100, the unlocking of the thigh belt 100 is realized, and the use of the thigh belt 100 Interval is adjusted in length.

[0030] To simplify the user's operation, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the locking structure 300 can further include an elastic member 330. The elastic member 330 rotates the locking member 320 in the direction of locking the thigh belt 100 (i.e., the locked state). The use of the elastic member 330 not only omits the operation of the user locking the thigh belt 100 by hand, but also is advantageous for keeping the length of the thigh belt 100 constant. The elastic member 330 can use various suitable elastic members such as a compression spring and a torsion spring. Interval The use of the elastic member 330 is advantageous for keeping the length of the thigh belt 100 constant. The elastic member 330 can use various suitable elastic members such as a compression spring and a torsion spring.

[0031] In addition, when the lock structure 300 is located on the upper surface 11 of the seat portion 10, the lock structure 300 will occupy a part of the riding area of the seat portion 10, which will affect the comfort when a child rides on the seat portion 10. To avoid this, in the embodiments of FIGS. 2 to 6, a concave portion 12 is provided on the upper surface 11 of the seat portion 10, and the lock structure 300 can be disposed in the concave portion 12. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the fixing case 310 of the lock structure 300 is fixed to the concave portion 12, the thigh belt 100 passes through the concave portion 12, and further passes through the bottom surface of the U-shaped structure of the fixing case 310 and is located between the bottom surface of the U-shaped structure and the locking member 320.

[0032] Note that the lock structure 300 in the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the lock structure 300 can take a clamp structure that does not need to be fixed to the seat portion 10. When the use section of the thigh belt 100 is adjusted to an appropriate length, this clamp structure is clamped at a location adjacent to the adjustment structure 200 of the use section of the thigh belt 100. Since the clamp structure cannot pass through the adjustment structure 200, when the free end 102 of the thigh belt 100 is pulled, the clamp structure is blocked by the adjustment structure 200 and the thigh belt 100 clamped by the clamp structure cannot continue to slide in the adjustment structure 200, realizing the locking of the thigh belt 100. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the use Interval of the thigh belt 100, if the clamp structure is operated so that the clamp structure no longer clamps the thigh belt 100, the thigh belt 100 can slide ri in the adjustment structure 200, and the unlocking of the thigh belt 100 can be realized.

[0033] In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the thigh belt length adjustment device according to the present disclosure can include only one adjustment lock structure 400 without requiring the adjustment structure 200 and the lock structure 300. This adjustment lock structure 400 is fixed to the seat portion 10, the free end 102 can pass through it, and after the free end 102 passes through the adjustment lock structure 400, the use of the thigh belt 100 located between the fixed end 101 and the adjustment lock structure 400 IntervalThe length can be increased or decreased, and the adjustment lock structure 400 can be used with the crotch belt 100 positioned between the fixed end 101 and the adjustment lock structure 400. Interval To prevent or allow the increase or decrease of the length of the crotch belt 100 passing through it, the crotch belt 100 can be locked or unlocked. In this another embodiment, the adjustment lock structure 400 substantially integrates the adjustment structure 200 and the lock structure 300 in the above-described embodiment, and serves to adjust and lock the length of the crotch belt 100. Interval Simultaneously fulfill the role of adjusting and locking the length.

[0034] Note that the adjustment lock structure 400 can take various suitable structures as shown in FIG. 7. For example, the above-described lock structure 300 is adopted and fixed to the seat portion 10. The difference is that the crotch belt 100 does not pass through the first opening, but directly passes through the adjustment lock structure 400. Alternatively, the adjustment lock structure 400 adopts a clamp structure. This clamp structure is fixed to the seat portion 10. When the crotch belt 100 passes through the clamp structure and the clamp structure clamps the crotch belt 100, the crotch belt 100 is locked. When the clamp structure loosens the crotch belt 100, the crotch belt 100 is unlocked. Thus, the length of the crotch belt 100 can be adjusted and locked. Interval Can be adjusted and locked.
