Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a support structure, a seat cushion structure including the support structure, and a child car seat including the seat cushion structure. [Background technology]

[0002] A child car seat is a device that is attached to a car seat and simultaneously restrains a child using a seat belt. In the event of an emergency braking or collision of the car, the child car seat can effectively prevent the child's body from moving rapidly, avoid a secondary collision, reduce injuries to the child, provide strong protection and restraint for the child, and ensure the safety of the child while seated.

[0003] Current child car seats are generally equipped with a seat cushion (also called a small seat cushion) to accommodate infants and young children. To improve the support effect of the seat cushion, a support structure is additionally installed on the underside of the seat cushion to form a seat cushion structure that better supports the child. One problem with current support structures is that they are unable to provide good protection while providing support. More specifically, current seat cushion structures can provide support to the child in normal conditions, but when the vehicle is impacted, the seat cushion structure's protective effect is poor. In particular, when the seat cushion structure is impacted, the portions corresponding to the child's back and buttocks cannot be sufficiently deformed, thereby failing to provide good protection for the child's back and buttocks. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new seat cushion structure that can not only provide support in a normal state but also provide sufficient deformation to absorb collision energy upon impact, and the seat cushion structure should have as simple a mechanism as possible to facilitate manufacturing and reduce costs.

[0029] Although the invention is described herein with reference to specific embodiments, the invention should not be limited to the details shown. In particular, various modifications can be made to these details within the scope and range of equivalents of the claims and without departing from the invention.

[0030] The directions such as "front", "rear", "upper", and "lower" used in this specification are for ease of understanding only, and the present invention is not limited to these directions and can be adjusted according to actual circumstances.

[0031] A support structure 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figure 1. The support structure 100 includes a support 110 and at least one buffer 120, which is disposed within the support 110. The support structure 100 and the buffer 120 can both provide support and buffer functions.

[0032] For ease of explanation, the support structure 100 will be described herein as having vertical, horizontal, and front-to-rear directions according to the seating direction of the child car seat to which the support structure 100 is attached, as indicated by the arrows in each direction in FIG. 1 . The support structure 100 has a support surface 123 (in this embodiment, the support surface 123 of the buffer section 120) for supporting a child, and is, for example, a surface that faces generally forward. To accommodate various seating needs, the support surface 123 may extend along an inclined and / or curved direction. Therefore, the extension direction of the support surface 123 is referred to as the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the extension direction of the support surface 123 is inclined downward and forward with respect to the vertical direction, and a curved portion that protrudes forward is formed in the center.

[0033] The assembly relationship between the support 110 and the buffer part 120 will be described with reference to Figure 2. The support 110 has a frame structure and includes a receiving part 114 for receiving the buffer part 120. The receiving part 114 penetrates the support 110 in a direction perpendicular to the support surface 123. Therefore, the support 110 is formed as a hollow frame.

[0034] In this embodiment, the support 110 extends in the lateral and vertical directions and includes a top edge 112, a bottom edge 113, and two side edges 111 connecting the top edge 112 and the bottom edge 113. A notch 113a is provided in the center of the bottom edge 113, and the notch 113a is recessed into the bottom edge 113 in the front-to-rear direction to allow a seat belt or straddle belt (not shown) to pass through the support 110. In other embodiments, the notch 113a may not be provided.

[0035] The shape of the bumper 120 corresponds substantially to the shape of the receiving portion 114 , thereby allowing the bumper 120 to be stably mounted within the support 110 .

[0036] 3 to 4C, the specific structure of the buffer part 120 will be described. The buffer part 120 includes a support surface 123, a rear surface 124, a top surface 125, a bottom surface 126, and two side surfaces 127.

[0037] More specifically, the central portion of the support surface 123 along the longitudinal direction protrudes forward, and the bottom end curves forward. The back surface 124 faces the support surface 123, and the bottom end of the back surface 124 curves forward. The top surface 125 slopes downward and rearward. The bottom surface 126 faces the top surface 125 and also slopes downward and rearward. The bottom surface 126 may be larger than the top surface 125. The two side surfaces 127 face each other and are (almost) flat. The thickness of the top surface 125 of the buffer portion 120 is smaller than the thickness of the bottom surface 126.

[0038] It should be noted that the cushion 120 may be formed in other suitable shapes to allow a child to sit comfortably or to accommodate different child seats.

[0039] The buffer section 120 includes a plurality of adjacently arranged buffer blocks 129. At least one first slit 121 is provided on the support surface 123 of the buffer section 120, and the first slit 121 divides the buffer section 120 into a plurality of buffer blocks 129, and the plurality of buffer blocks 129 are connected to each other at at least one position other than the support surface 123 of the buffer section 120.

[0040] More specifically, the plurality of first slits 121 extend in the vertical direction of the support surface 123 and are arranged along the horizontal direction of the support surface 123 .

[0041] In this embodiment, five first slits 121 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, thereby dividing the buffer section 120 into six laterally adjacent buffer blocks 129. In other embodiments, more or fewer first slits 121 may be provided.

[0042] The buffer blocks 129 are connected to each other at least at the back surface 124 of the buffer unit 120, which faces the support surface 123. In this embodiment, the first slits 121 penetrate the top surface 125 and the bottom surface 126 of the buffer unit 120, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B. The first slits 121 extend from the support surface 123 toward the back surface 124 but do not penetrate the back surface 124, thereby connecting the buffer blocks 129 to each other at the back surface 124. The depth of the first slits 121 may be 50% to 90% of the thickness of the buffer unit 120, and the depth ratio may vary along the vertical direction. The depths of the first slits 121 may also vary. For example, the central first slits 121 may have a greater depth, and the edge first slits 121 may have a shallower depth. Refer to the depth indicator line DL in FIG. 4C, which schematically indicates the depth of at least one first slit 121.

[0043] In each embodiment of the present application, the first slits 121 can be formed by machining using a CNC computer or a cutting die. That is, the entire buffer unit 120 can be cut to form multiple buffer blocks 129. However, the present application is not limited to this manufacturing method, and the buffer unit 120 having the first slits 121 can be integrally formed by molding, or the buffer unit 120 can be formed by bonding multiple buffer blocks 129 together.

[0044] For ease of understanding, the first slit 121 is depicted as having a constant width in Figures 3 to 4C. It should be understood that the width depicted in the figures does not represent the actual width of the first slit 121.

[0045] In each embodiment of the present application, the first slits 121 may have a very small width, so that adjacent buffer blocks 129 face each other and form cross sections that contact each other through the first slits 121. Thus, in actual use, especially when the buffer blocks 129 are not deformed, the first slits 121 are hardly visible. The first slits 121 may have a constant width, so that adjacent buffer blocks 129 face each other through the first slits 121, and there is a gap between the adjacent cross sections. The first slits 121 may have a uniform width in the direction from the support surface 123 to the bottom surface 126, or may have a varying width, for example, narrower at the support surface 123 and wider near the bottom surface 126.

[0046] The buffer section 120 is divided into multiple interconnected buffer blocks 129, which allows the buffer section 120 to be easily installed within the support and prevents it from getting lost. During normal seating, the support structure 100 has a certain degree of hardness and can support the child's buttocks and back. During emergency braking or a collision, each buffer block 129 can provide greater deformation to absorb and disperse the impact force. For example, buffer blocks 129 located in the lateral center, where pressure is concentrated, can provide greater deformation than buffer blocks 129 located at the edges, thereby better protecting the child's buttocks and back.

[0047] On the other hand, if the buffer part 120 is formed as a single piece, it cannot provide sufficient deformation to the pressure concentration area, and therefore has poor impact dispersion properties. On the other hand, if the buffer part 120 includes multiple buffer blocks 129 that are completely separated from each other, the buffer part 120 as a whole cannot provide sufficient support.

[0048] Furthermore, if multiple buffer blocks 129 are connected to each other on their back surfaces 124 and gaps exist between adjacent cross sections formed by the first slits 121, if the support surface 123 receives a large force, the two adjacent cross sections may come into contact at locations close to the support surface 123, and a gap may be formed at a location close to the connection position. In other words, the support structure 100 of the present application not only allows the buffer section 120 to deform in a direction perpendicular to the support surface 123, but also allows the buffer section 120 to deform in a direction parallel to the support surface 123, thereby providing a good buffering effect.

[0049] A support structure 100 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0050] The support structure 100 according to the second embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, with the difference being the orientation of the first slits 121 of the buffer section 120. In the second embodiment, the first slits 121 extend in the horizontal direction of the support surface 123 and are arranged along the vertical direction of the support surface 123. Therefore, the buffer section 120 includes a plurality of buffer blocks 129 arranged along the vertical direction of the support surface 123, and each buffer block 129 has a rectangular shape extending along the horizontal direction. In this way, the buffer section 120 can effectively distribute impact forces along the vertical direction.

[0051] A support structure 100 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0052] The third embodiment is distinguished from the first embodiment in that the buffer section 120 according to the third embodiment is divided into multiple buffer blocks 129 by at least one first slit 121 and at least one second slit 122. The at least one second slit 122 is disposed on the support surface 123, and the second slit 122 intersects with the first slit 121. The first slit 121 extends in the vertical direction of the support surface 123, and the second slit 122 extends in the horizontal direction of the support surface 123. Therefore, the buffer section 120 includes multiple buffer blocks 129 arranged along the vertical and horizontal directions, and each buffer block 129 has a substantially rectangular shape. In this way, the buffer section 120 can effectively distribute impact forces along the vertical and horizontal directions. The multiple buffer blocks 129 are similarly connected to each other at the back surface 124.

[0053] A support structure 100 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0054] In the fourth embodiment, the buffering unit 120 is divided into a plurality of buffer blocks 129 by at least one first slit 121 and at least one second slit 122. This fourth embodiment differs from the third embodiment in that the first slit 121 extends in one diagonal direction of the support surface 123, and the second slit 122 extends in another diagonal direction of the support surface 123. For example, the first slit 121 and the second slit 122 may have approximately the same inclination angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the support surface 123. Therefore, the buffering unit 120 includes a plurality of diamond-shaped and triangular buffer blocks 129 arranged along two mutually intersecting diagonal directions. In this way, the buffering unit 120 can effectively distribute impact forces along the two mutually intersecting diagonal directions.

[0055] A support structure 100 according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0056] The support structure 100 according to the fifth embodiment includes a plurality of buffer sections 120 arranged side by side within a support 110. Two adjacent buffer sections 120 may be in contact with each other or may have a gap therebetween. Each buffer section 120 extends along the horizontal direction, and the plurality of buffer sections 120 are arranged along the vertical direction of a support surface 123. At least one first slit 121 divides each buffer section 120 into a plurality of buffer blocks 129. For example, as shown in FIG. 17 , each buffer section 120 has a rectangular shape extending in the horizontal direction, and at least one first slit 121 extending along the vertical direction divides the buffer section 120 into a plurality of buffer blocks 129 arranged along the horizontal direction.

[0057] A support structure 100 according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0058] The support structure 100 according to the sixth embodiment is similar to the fifth embodiment, including a plurality of buffer sections 120. Unlike the fifth embodiment, each buffer section 120 in the sixth embodiment extends along the vertical direction, and the plurality of buffer sections 120 are arranged along the horizontal direction. At least one first slit 121 extending along the horizontal direction divides each buffer section 120 into a plurality of buffer blocks 129 adjacent along the vertical direction.

[0059] In other embodiments having multiple buffer sections 120, each buffer section 120 may extend along other directions, for example, along a diagonal direction, and the direction of the first slits 121 may be changed accordingly, as long as the buffer section 120 can be divided into multiple buffer blocks 129.

[0060] A support structure 100 according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0061] In the support structure 100 of the seventh embodiment, the first slits 121 penetrate the back surface 124 opposite the support surface 123 of the buffer part 120, and the buffer blocks 129 are connected to each other at the top surface 125 and the bottom surface 126 of the buffer part 120. More specifically, each first slit 121 extends along the vertical direction and from the support surface 123 to the back surface 124. That is, the first slits 121 penetrate the support surface 123 and the back surface 124, and therefore the multiple buffer blocks 129 divided by the first slits 121 are not connected to each other at the back surface 124.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first slits 121 do not penetrate the top surface 125 and the bottom surface 126 of the buffer unit 120, so that the buffer blocks 129 can be connected to each other at the top surface 125 and the bottom surface 126. In another embodiment, the first slits 121 may penetrate the top surface 125 or one of the top surfaces 125, so that the buffer blocks 129 are connected to each other at the other surface. Alternatively, multiple buffer blocks 129 may be connected to each other at the top surface 125 and the bottom surface 126 of the buffer unit 120, and at the same time, connected to each other at the back surface 124. Alternatively, the first slits 121 may extend along the lateral direction and penetrate the support surface 123 and the back surface 124 of the buffer unit 120, so that the buffer blocks 129 are connected to each other at either side surface 127 of the buffer unit 120.

[0063] A support structure 100 according to an eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

[0064] In the eighth embodiment, the buffer part 120 is substantially circular, and at least one first slit 121 penetrates the support surface 123 and the back surface 124 of the buffer part 120, and the buffer blocks 129 divided by the first slit 121 are connected to each other at the periphery 128 of the buffer part 120. In addition, the multiple buffer blocks 129 may be further connected to each other at the periphery 128 of the buffer part 120 or may be connected to each other at the back surface 124.

[0065] In each embodiment of the present application, the buffer part 120 may be circular as in the eighth embodiment, or may have other suitable geometric shapes, such as a trapezoid, a triangle, an octagon, etc., to meet the needs of different child car seats. In each of the above embodiments of the present application, the buffer part 120 may be detachably connected to the support body 110. For example, the buffer part 120 is inserted into the receiving part 114, and at least one outermost surface of the buffer part 120 abuts against the inner surface of the receiving part 114. The size of the buffer part 120 may be slightly larger than the size of the receiving part 114, which can ensure that the buffer part 120 is relatively stably installed in the receiving part 114 without the need for adhesive. In addition, the support body 110 has a frame structure, which can restrict the buffer part 120 around the frame structure after it is received in the receiving part 114, thereby reducing the risk of the buffer part 120 detaching from the support body 110.

[0066] A support structure 100 according to a ninth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

[0067] In the ninth embodiment, the support 110 and the buffer part 120 are integrally molded. Therefore, the support surface 123, back surface 124, top surface 125, bottom surface 126, and side surface 127 of the buffer part 120 can also be considered as corresponding surfaces of the support 110. At least one first slit 121 extends along the vertical direction and penetrates the support surface 123 and the back surface 124, so that the multiple buffer blocks 129 are connected to each other at the top surface 125 and the bottom surface 126. Note that in this embodiment, the first slit 121 may also extend along the horizontal or diagonal direction of the support surface 123.

[0068] In each embodiment of the present application, the hardness or density of the buffer portion 120 may be equal to or less than the hardness or density of the support 110. The hardness of the buffer portion 120 is 17 kg / m 3 ~29kg / m 3 For example, 17 kg / m 3 , 21 kg / m 3 or 29 kg / m 3The hardness of the support 110 is 32 kg / m 3 ~40kg / m 3 For example, 32 kg / m 3 , 37 kg / m 3 or 40 kg / m 3 is.

[0069] In each embodiment of the present application, the buffer part 120 and the support body 110 may be made of different materials. For example, the buffer part 120 may be made of foam cotton, and the support body 110 may be made of memory cotton, latex, or silica gel. In each embodiment of the present application, the buffer part 120 and the support body 110 may be made of the same material. Furthermore, compared to a case in which the buffer part 120 is divided into multiple buffer blocks 129 and the multiple buffer blocks 129 are connected to each other, the support structure 100 of the present application not only increases the amount of buffer deformation when subjected to an impact force, but also makes it easier to mold the support structure 100. (For example, when the buffer part 120 and the support body 110 are attached to each other as separate structures to form the support structure 100, the multiple buffer blocks 129 are connected to each other, so each buffer part 120 can be easily attached to the support body 110 as an integral structure. When the buffer part 120 and the support body 110 have an integrated structure, the number of assembly steps can be further reduced.)

[0070] Furthermore, the required bearing capacity and cushioning deformation amount can be achieved by comprehensively adjusting each structure of the support structure 100. For example, compared to a situation in which a plurality of buffer blocks 129 are not connected to the back surface 124 and the first slits 121 penetrate the back surface 124, a greater bearing capacity can be provided by the back surface 124 when the plurality of buffer blocks 129 are connected to each other at the back surface 124. The cushioning deformation amount of the support structure 100 can be supplemented by methods such as increasing the number of the buffer blocks 129, increasing the depth of the first slits 121, or increasing the gap between two adjacent buffer blocks 129. Furthermore, compared to a situation in which a plurality of buffer blocks 129 are connected to each other at the back surface 124, a better cushioning deformation amount can be provided when the first slits 121 penetrate the back surface 124. At the same time, the supporting capacity of the support structure 100 can be supplemented by methods such as reducing the number of the buffer blocks 129 or shortening the distance between two adjacent buffer blocks 129.

[0071] The seat cushion structure according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

[0072] The seat cushion structure includes a seat cushion 200, a support structure 100, and a cover member 300. The seat cushion 200 and the cover member 300 are positioned on the support surface 123 of the support structure 100. The cover member 300 encases the support structure 100 or at least covers the support surface 123 of the support structure 100. The seat cushion 200 is connected to the cover member 300, for example, to a connecting piece 310 at the top end of the cover member 300. The connecting piece 310 may be a button, a ring, a hook-and-loop fastener, or the like.
