In this embodiment, the seat 2000 is arranged at an angle relative to the base 200. Specifically, the seating surface 2100 of the seat 2000 is arranged at an angle relative to the lower surface of the base 200. The lower surface of the base 200 is substantially parallel to a horizontal plane. Accordingly, the longitudinal direction of the backrest body 1100, which is substantially perpendicular to the seating surface 2100 of the seat 2000, is inclined relative to the vertical direction, such that the angle between the longitudinal direction of the backrest body 1100 and the rearward direction F is acute. Furthermore, to clearly illustrate the sliding groove 1200 on the front face 1110 of the backrest body 1100, the seat belt 300 and a portion of the headrest 3000, including the belt insertion opening 3130, are omitted in Figures 1 and 2 . The complete structure of the headrest 3000 is illustrated in Figures 8 through 10 .

[0055] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the backrest body 1100 is provided with a sliding groove 1200 and a plurality of shifting ribs 1300 disposed on either side of the sliding groove 1200. The sliding groove 1200 extends longitudinally and through the backrest body 1100, which is equivalent to extending approximately in the height direction of the backrest body 1100 and through the front 1110 and back sides of the backrest body. The plurality of shifting ribs 1300 are disposed on either side of the sliding groove 1200 and extend longitudinally along the backrest body 1100. The plurality of shifting grooves 1400 are formed on the plurality of shifting ribs 1300 and are distributed longitudinally along the backrest body 1100. The sliding grooves 1200 allow the headrest 3000 to slide longitudinally along the backrest body 1100 to adjust its height, while the plurality of shifting grooves 1400 are used to lock the headrest 3000 at a corresponding height. The structure of the headrest portion 3000 will be described in detail later.

[0056] The number of sliding grooves 1200 is two, but not limited to this. In this embodiment, the two sliding grooves 1200 are a first sliding groove 1210 and a second sliding groove 1220. The plurality of shift ribs 1300 include a first shift rib 1310, a second shift rib 1320, and a third shift rib 1330. The first shift rib 1310, the second shift rib 1320, and the third shift rib 1330 are spaced apart, and the third shift rib 1330 is located between the first shift rib 1310 and the second shift rib 1320. Sliding grooves 1200 are formed between the third shift rib 1330 and the first shift rib 1310 and between the third shift rib 1330 and the second shift rib 1320, respectively. In other words, the third shift rib 1330 is located between the two sliding grooves 1200. The first shift rib 1310 is located on the side of one of the two sliding grooves 1200 opposite the third shift rib 1330 (e.g., to the left of the first sliding groove 1210). The second shift rib 1320 is located on the side of the other of the two sliding grooves 1200 opposite the third shift rib 1330 (e.g., to the right of the second sliding groove 1220). In this embodiment, the side surface of each shift rib 1300 partially forms the sidewall of the corresponding sliding groove 1200.

[0057] In some alternative embodiments, the number of shift ribs 1300 may be one, two, or greater than three, and the number of sliding grooves 1200 may be one or greater than two, and this is not limited in this application. Exemplarily, there is one shift rib 1300 and one sliding groove 1200, and the shift rib 1300 is located on one side of the sliding groove 1200 (e.g., the left or right side). Exemplarily, there are two shift ribs 1300 and one sliding groove 1200, with the two shift ribs 1300 located on the left and right sides of the sliding groove 1200, respectively. Exemplarily, there are greater than three shift ribs 1300 and two or greater than two sliding grooves 1200, with the sliding groove 1200 formed between two adjacent shift ribs 1300.

[0058] With reference to Figures 5 and 6 , the opening of each shift slot 1400 faces away from the headrest body 3100. Specifically, the opening faces generally rearward and is slightly inclined downward. More specifically, each shift slot 1400 comprises an upper sidewall 1410, a lower sidewall 1420, and a bottom wall 1430. The bottom wall 1430 is an arcuate surface. The lower sidewall 1420 is inclined relative to the bottom wall 1430 and forms an obtuse angle with the bottom wall 1430. Specifically, the lower sidewall 1420 is a downwardly inclined surface. The upper sidewall 1410 is arcuate and smoothly transitions to the bottom wall 1430. A limiting protrusion 1411 is provided on the upper sidewall 1410 near the opening of the shift slot 1400. The limiting protrusion 1411 protrudes downward from the upper sidewall 1410. It should be noted that “the angle between the lower side wall 1420 and the bottom wall 1430 is an obtuse angle” means that the angle between the cross-section of the bottom wall 1430 at the lowest point in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the lower side wall 1420 is an obtuse angle.

[0059] Referring to Figures 3 and 4 , each shift groove 1400 is formed simultaneously on multiple shift ribs 1300. In other words, each shift groove 1400 includes multiple shift recesses formed on the multiple shift ribs 1300, with the multiple shift recesses spaced apart from each other. Specifically, the multiple shift recesses include a first shift recess 1400a formed on the first shift rib 1310, a second shift recess 1400b formed on the second shift rib 1320, and a third shift recess 1400c formed on the third shift rib 1330. In other words, each shift groove 1400 includes a first shift recess 1400a, a second shift recess 1400b, and a third shift recess 1400c spaced apart from each other. In this embodiment, the multiple shift recesses are located on the same straight line. In an alternative embodiment, the multiple shift recesses may not be on the same straight line, and this application is not limited thereto.

[0060] Figures 8 to 10 schematically illustrate a headrest 3000 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The headrest 3000 includes a headrest body 3100 and a headrest adjustment mechanism 3200. Referring to Figures 3 and 4 , the headrest adjustment mechanism 3200 is disposed between the headrest body 3100 and the backrest body 1100. It should be noted that the phrase "the headrest adjustment mechanism 3200 is disposed between the headrest body 3100 and the backrest body 1100" should be understood to mean that at least a portion of the headrest adjustment mechanism 3200 is located between the headrest body 3100 and the backrest body 1100, and that the headrest adjustment mechanism 3200 is connected to each of the headrest body 3100 and the backrest body 1100. The headrest adjustment mechanism 3200 includes a sliding member 3230, a headrest engaging member 3210, a headrest driving member 3260, and a headrest operating member 3220. The headrest body 3100 is slidably connected to the backrest body 1100 via a sliding member 3230. The headrest engaging member 3210 is movably connected to the sliding member 3230. The headrest operating member 3220 is movably disposed on the headrest body 3100 and is connected to the headrest engaging member 3210 via a headrest driving member 3260. The headrest operating member 3220 can be operated to drive the headrest driving member 3260 to move, thereby driving the headrest engaging member 3210 to move relative to the sliding member 3230 via the headrest driving member 3260, allowing the headrest engaging member 3210 to switch between a headrest locked position and a headrest unlocked position. When the headrest engaging member 3210 is in the headrest locking position (see Figures 3 and 4), it engages with the backrest body 1100 to restrict relative sliding between the slider 3230 and the backrest body 1100, thereby locking the headrest portion 3000 (i.e., the headrest body 3100) at a corresponding height. When the headrest engaging member 3210 is in the headrest unlocking position, the headrest engaging member 3210 is disengaged from the backrest body 1100, allowing the slider 3230 to slide relative to the backrest body 1100, thereby allowing the headrest portion 3000 (i.e., the headrest body 3100) to be adjusted in height.

[0061] The headrest engaging member 3210 includes a headrest engaging rod 3211, which extends generally in the left-right direction (i.e., the LR direction) and is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the backrest body 1100. The headrest engaging rod 3211 has a generally circular cross-section. The headrest engaging rod 3211 is adapted to engage with at least one of the plurality of shift slots 1400 to restrict relative sliding between the slider 3230 and the backrest body 1100. The slider 3230 is fixed to the headrest body 3100 and is provided with a sliding slot 3234. The sliding slot 3234 extends perpendicularly to the direction of extension of the headrest engaging rod 3211 and generally perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the backrest body 1100. In other words, the sliding slot 3234 extends generally perpendicular to the direction of extension of the sliding slot 1200. The headrest engaging rod 3211 is disposed within the sliding slot 3234 and is capable of sliding along the direction of extension of the sliding slot 3234. At least a portion of the headrest body 3100 and the headrest engaging rod 3211 are located on opposite sides of the backrest body 1100. The headrest engaging rod 3211 at least partially extends beyond the slider 3230 to engage with one of the plurality of shifting slots 1400. When the headrest engaging member 3210 is in the headrest locking position, the headrest engaging rod 3211 engages with one of the plurality of shifting slots 1400. The headrest engaging rod 3211 is adapted to be stopped by the upper sidewall 1410 of the shifting slot, thereby limiting the longitudinal movement of the headrest engaging rod 3211 along the backrest body 1100. This in turn limits the longitudinal movement of the slider 3230 along the backrest body 1100, thereby locking the headrest portion 3000 at a corresponding height. The upper side wall 1410 is further provided with a limiting protrusion 1411, which is adapted to block the headrest engaging rod 3211 to prevent it from accidentally disengaging from the opening of the shift slot 1400. When the headrest engaging member 3210 is switched to the headrest unlocking position, the sliding member 3230 disengages from the plurality of shift slots 1400, allowing the headrest engaging member 3210 to move longitudinally along the backrest body 1100, thereby allowing the sliding member 3230 to move longitudinally along the backrest body 1100, thereby allowing the headrest portion 3000 to be adjusted in height.

[0062] Referring to Figures 3 and 4 , the portion of the headrest engaging rod 3211 extending from the sliding member 3230 engages with the first, second, and third gear recesses 1400a, 1400b, 1400c of the corresponding gear slots 1400. Referring to Figures 6 and 7 , each gear slot 1400 has a downwardly inclined surface, the end of which is formed with a stopper protrusion 1421 to prevent the headrest engaging member 3210 from sliding off the surface. Specifically, the lower sidewall 1420 of the third gear recess 1400c forms a stopper protrusion 1421. The stopper protrusion 1421 has a flat surface disposed opposite the upper sidewall 1410. The plane of the stopper protrusion 1421 is substantially parallel to the horizontal plane. In other words, the plane of the stopper protrusion 1421 is substantially parallel to the front-to-back direction (i.e., the FB direction) and the left-to-right direction (i.e., the LR direction). A portion of the headrest engaging rod 3211 is engaged in the third gear recess 1400 c and is placed on the stop protrusion 1421 , thereby preventing the headrest engaging rod 3211 from escaping from the corresponding gear slot 1400 along the lower side wall 1420 of the gear slot 1400 .

[0063] 5 and 6 , at least a portion of the headrest body 3100 is slidably mounted on the front face 1110 of the backrest body 1100. The slider 3230 is slidably mounted on the back face 1120 of the backrest body 1100 and connected to the headrest body 3100 via the sliding groove 1200. This allows the headrest body 3100 and the slider 3230 to slide synchronously relative to the backrest body 1100 or be synchronously positioned at corresponding heights. The headrest body 3100 is provided with a mounting portion 3120. This mounting portion 3120 protrudes rearwardly from the back face 3112 of the headrest body, and at least a portion of the mounting portion 3120 extends into the sliding groove 1200 and is movable along the sliding groove 1200. Optionally, the mounting portion 3120 is integrally formed with the headrest body 3100, or is fixed (i.e., non-detachably) to the headrest body 3100 by, for example, bonding, or is detachably attached to the headrest body 3100 by, for example, bolting, etc., without limitation in this application. Referring to Figures 8 and 9 , the sliding member 3230 is detachably connected to the mounting portion 3120 by, for example, bolting, snapping, or the like. The side of the headrest body 3100 facing the backrest body 1100 forms the back side 3112 of the headrest body, and the side of the headrest body 3100 opposite the back side forms the front side 3111 of the headrest body.

[0064] With reference to Figure 7 , the backrest body 1100 is provided with a first mating portion 1500 extending parallel to the direction of extension of the sliding groove 1200. The sliding member 3230 is provided with a second mating portion 3235. One of the first mating portion 1500 and the second mating portion 3235 is a groove, and the other is a rib. The first mating portion 1500 and the second mating portion 3235 mate with each other in a concave-convex manner, allowing the sliding member 3230 to slide relative to the backrest body 1100 along the direction of extension of the first mating portion 1500. In this embodiment, the first mating portion 1500 is a groove, and the second mating portion 3235 is a rib. The back surface 1120 of the backrest body is provided with at least one set of first mating portions 1500, with each set of at least two first mating portions 1500. At least one first mating portion 1500 is provided on each left and right side of at least one sliding groove 1200. More specifically, the number of groups of first mating portions 1500 corresponds to the number of sliding slots 1200. Each sliding slot 1200 is provided with a first mating portion 1500 on both sides, meaning each group of mating portions consists of two. In this embodiment, each group of first mating portions 1500 is located between two adjacent shift ribs 1300. Specifically, one of the two groups of first mating portions 1500 is located between the first shift rib 1310 and the third shift rib 1330, while the other of the two groups of first mating portions 1500 is located between the second shift rib 1320 and the third shift rib 1330.

[0065] Accordingly, the number of sliding members 3230 matches the number of sliding grooves 1200. In this embodiment, there are two sliding members 3230, each corresponding to the first sliding groove 1210 and the second sliding groove 1220. Each sliding member 3230 is provided with two second mating portions 3235. Each second mating portion 3235 engages with a corresponding first mating portion 1500, allowing the sliding member 3230 to slide relative to the backrest body 1100 along the first mating portion 1500, thereby achieving sliding movement of the sliding member 3230 relative to the backrest body 1100.

[0066] For ease of description, the following description takes the sliding member 3230 located at the second sliding groove 1220 as an example.

[0067] With reference to Figures 3, 8, and 9, the sliding member 3230 is slidably engaged with the sliding groove 1200 provided on the backrest body 1100 and is fixedly connected to the headrest body 3100. The backrest body 1100 is provided with a reinforcing rod 1700 for routing the seat belt. The reinforcing rod 1700 is located above the sliding groove 1200. The sliding member 3230 has a housing 3231 that at least partially extends within the sliding groove 1200. The headrest body 3100 is provided with a seat belt opening 3130 for routing the seat belt 300 of the child safety seat 10. At least a portion of the housing 3231 is located above the seat belt opening 3130. In other words, the reinforcing rod 1700 and the seat belt opening 3130 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the sliding member 3230, respectively. The seat belt 300, which passes through the seat belt opening 3130, passes around the sliding member 3230, and is then routed around the reinforcing rod 1700. In this embodiment, the seatbelt opening 3130 communicates with the sliding groove 1200, allowing the seatbelt 300 to pass through the opening 3130 and extend toward the backrest body's rear surface 1120. The seatbelt 300 exits through the opening 3130 below the slider 3230, passes around the slider 3230, and then wraps around the reinforcing rod 1700 above the slider 3230. Specifically, the seatbelt 300 enters the reinforcing rod 1700 on the side facing the backrest body 1100, then passes upward around the reinforcing rod 1700 and exits on the side facing away from the backrest body 1100. In other words, the seatbelt 300 wraps upward from the inside of the reinforcing rod 1700 to the outside of the reinforcing rod 1700.

[0068] The line connecting the reinforcing rod 1700 and the belt opening 3130 passes through the housing 3231, allowing the seat belt 300 disposed between the reinforcing rod 1700 and the belt opening 3130 to press against the housing 3231. This, by utilizing the relative position of the reinforcing rod 1700 and the belt opening 3130, changes the extension direction of the seat belt 300, allowing the seat belt 300 to partially press against the slider 3230, thereby exerting pressure on the slider 3230. This pressure can be decomposed into two components: a vertically upward pressure component and a horizontally forward pressure component. The vertically upward pressure component is transmitted to the headrest engaging rod 3211 via the slider 3230, thereby more stably retaining the headrest engaging member 3210 within the shift slot 1400 and preventing the headrest engaging member 3210 from dislodging from the shift slot 1400 due to bumps or other factors, thereby preventing the headrest engaging member 3210 from "jumping" due to the vehicle's jolt. It should be noted that "jumping gears" means that the headrest engaging member 3210 accidentally disengages from a relatively higher gear slot 1400 (i.e., the gear slot 1400 relatively far away from the seat 2000) and re-engages in a relatively lower gear slot 1400 (i.e., the gear slot 1400 relatively close to the seat 2000), causing the headrest 3000 to slide from a relatively higher position (i.e., a position relatively far away from the seat 2000) to a relatively lower position (i.e., a position relatively close to the seat 2000).

[0069] 5 and 6 , the slider 3230 includes a housing 3231 having a rear surface facing away from the backrest body 1100. The rear surface of the housing 3231 is substantially parallel to the back surface 1120 of the backrest body 1100. At least a portion of the reinforcement rod 1700 is located between the extended surface of the housing 3231 and the backrest body 1100, allowing the seat belt 300 to partially press against the slider 3230. Specifically, at least a portion of the reinforcement rod 1700 is located forward of the housing 3231. In other words, the forwardmost point of the reinforcement rod 1700 deviates from the extended surface of the housing 3231 and is located between the extended surface of the housing 3231 and the backrest body 1100. In this way, when the seat belt 300 passes through the sliding member 3230 and is wrapped around the reinforcing rod 1700, the sliding member 3230 and the reinforcing rod 1700 of the seat belt 300 respectively abut against each other, causing the extension direction of the seat belt 300 to shift, so that a portion of the seat belt 300 can be pressed against the sliding member 3230.

[0070] Specifically, the axis of the reinforcing rod 1700 (i.e., the central axis of the reinforcing rod 1700) is located forward of the extension surface S of the rear surface of the housing 3231. More specifically, the extension surface S of the rear surface of the housing 3231 passes through the reinforcing rod 1700. In other words, the projections of the reinforcing rod 1700 and the slider 3230 on a plane perpendicular to the rear surface of the housing 3231 partially overlap. More specifically, a portion of the reinforcing rod 1700 is located forward of the extension surface S of the housing 3231, while another portion is located rearward of the extension surface S of the housing 3231. In other words, the reinforcing rod 1700 protrudes rearwardly from the housing 3231. This ensures that the seat belt 300 is secured against the slider 3230 while allowing the seat belt 300 to pass around the reinforcing rod 1700 and away from the slider 3230 without interfering with the slider.

[0071] With reference to Figure 12 , the lower end of the rear surface of the housing 3231 has a guide surface 3233, which is an inclined surface or a convex cylindrical surface. The slider 3230 has an upper side surface 3232 facing the reinforcement rod 1700. Accordingly, a guide surface 3233 is provided at the transition between the housing 3231 and the upper side surface 3232 (i.e., the upper end of the housing 3231). A portion of the seat belt 300 presses against and slides along the guide surface 3233. The guide surface 3233 reduces friction between the seat belt 300 and the slider 3230, making it easier to pull the belt. Referring to Figures 5 and 6 , the reinforcement rod 1700 includes a rod body 1710 and a rotating sleeve 1720 rotatably mounted on the rod body 1710. The seat belt 300 is adapted to be wound around the rotating sleeve 1720. This allows for more effortless pulling of the seat belt 300.

[0072] As can be seen from the above, a sliding member 3230 capable of moving along the sliding groove 1200 is provided between two adjacent shift ribs 1300. In other words, a sliding member 3230 capable of moving along the sliding groove 1200 is provided between the first shift rib 1310 and the third shift rib 1330, and between the second shift rib 1320 and the third shift rib 1330.

[0073] Referring to Figures 4 to 6, in one embodiment, the rear surface of the housing 3231 of each slider 3230 protrudes substantially rearwardly beyond the outer side of its adjacent shift rib 1300. A protrusion 1600 is provided on each side of the sliding groove 1200, with multiple protrusions 1600 located above and / or below the shift groove 1400. The rear surface of each protrusion 1600 protrudes rearwardly beyond the outer side of its adjacent shift rib 1300 and protrudes beyond the rear surface of the housing 3231 of the corresponding slider 3230. Each shift rib 1300 has a first end and a second end located below the first end. In other words, each shift rib 1300 has a second end proximal to the seat 2000 and a first end distal to the seat 2000. Multiple protrusions 1600 are provided on the first and / or second ends of each of the shift ribs 1300. With reference to FIG3 , the plurality of protrusions 1600 include, but are not limited to, first protrusions 1610 disposed on the first ends of the plurality of shift ribs and second protrusions 1620 disposed on the second ends of the plurality of shift ribs. Specifically, the first ends of the first shift rib 1310, the second shift rib 1320, and the third shift rib 1330 are each provided with a first protrusion 1610. The second ends of the first shift rib 1310 and the second shift rib 1320 are each provided with a second protrusion 1620. The second end of the third shift rib 1330 is not provided with a second protrusion 1620. In this way, on the one hand, the raised portion 1600 can be used to limit and stop the headrest engaging rod 3211, thereby preventing the headrest engaging rod 3211 from escaping from the multiple gear slots 1400; on the other hand, the raised portion 1600 can be used to limit and stop the seat belt 300 that is hung down after passing around the reinforcing rod 1700, thereby confining the seat belt 300 between its two adjacent gear ribs 1300, thereby preventing the seat belt 300 from interfering with the gear ribs 1300.

[0074] Referring to Figures 10 and 11 , the headrest operating member 3220 is movably mounted on the headrest body 3100. In this embodiment, the headrest operating member 3220 is movably mounted on the headrest body 3100 via a fixing base 3300. The longitudinal direction of the headrest body 3100 is generally parallel to the longitudinal direction of the backrest body 1100, and the movement direction of the headrest operating member 3220 is generally perpendicular to the movement direction of the headrest engaging rod 3211.

[0075] The headrest operating member 3220 includes an operating portion 3221, a connecting arm 3222, and an operating connection portion 3223. The operating portion 3221 is connected to the connecting arm 3222 via the operating connection portion 3223. The connecting arm 3222 is connected to the headrest driver 3260. In other words, the operating portion 3221, the operating connection portion 3223, the connecting arm 3222, and the headrest driver 3260 are sequentially connected. The number of headrest drivers 3260 corresponds to the number of sliding members 3230. In this embodiment, the headrest operating member 3220 includes two headrest drivers 3260, two connecting arms 3222, an operating connection portion 3223, and an operating portion 3221. The two headrest drivers 3260 are drivingly connected to the headrest engaging member 3210 and connected to the operating connection portion 3223 via the two connecting arms 3222. The operating portion 3221 drives the two headrest drivers 3260 to move via the two connecting arms 3222. The headrest operating member 3220 moves roughly along the longitudinal direction of the headrest body 3100, which is equivalent to the longitudinal movement of the operating portion 3221 along the headrest body 3100 and drives the two headrest driving members 3260 to move longitudinally through the operating connecting portion 3223 and the two connecting arms 3222.

[0076] As shown in conjunction with Figures 10 and 11 , the operating portion 3221 is movably disposed on the front face 3111 of the headrest body 3100. The operating connection portion 3223 is restrained on the headrest body 3100 by the fixing base 3300 and can move relative to the headrest body 3100 along with the operating portion 3221, thereby slidably restraining the headrest operating member 3220 on the headrest body 3100. The operating connection portion 3223 is generally plate-shaped and disposed parallel to the front face of the headrest body 3100. The fixing base 3300 is secured to the headrest body 3100 by, for example, a threaded connection or a snap-on connection, but is not limited thereto. The fixing base 3300 is provided with a limiting portion 3310 that is detachably connected to the front face 3111 of the headrest body. Specifically, the limiting portion 3310 includes a limiting wall 3311, two connecting ears 3312 provided on the limiting wall 3311, and a limiting pin 3313 connected to the limiting wall 3311. The limiting wall 3311 is detachably connected to the headrest body 3100 via the two connecting ears 3312. The limiting pin 3313 extends generally downward and is used for detachable connection with the headrest body 3100. In this embodiment, the operational connection portion 3223 is disposed between the limiting wall 3311 and the headrest body 3100 and is connected to the headrest body 3100 via the limiting pin 3313, thereby being fixed between the limiting wall 3311 and the headrest body 3100. Specifically, the headrest body 3100 is provided with an adapter portion 3150. The operational connection portion 3223 has a connecting opening 3227, through which the adapter portion 3150 is exposed to connect with the limiting pin 3313. The limiting pin 3313 is engaged with the adapting portion 3150 through the connecting opening 3227 .

[0077] The fixed seat 3300 is also provided with a seat body 3320, which is connected to the limiting wall 3311 and forms a limiting space 3330. The limiting portion 3310 can be integrally formed with the seat body 3320, or fixedly (i.e., non-detachably) connected to the seat body 3320, or detachably connected to the seat body 3320, without limitation in this application. The operating portion 3221 is located between the seat body 3320 and the limiting wall 3311. The operating portion 3221 protrudes rearward from the operating connection portion 3223, which not only facilitates operation of the operating portion 3221, but also allows the limiting wall 3311 to block the operating portion 3221, preventing it from passing over the limiting wall 3311, thereby limiting the operating portion 3221 within the limiting space 3330.

[0078] As shown in Figures 9 and 10 , the connecting arm 3222 extends longitudinally along the headrest body 3100. The headrest body 3100 is provided with a through-channel 3140. The connecting arm 3222 is disposed within the through-channel 3140, allowing at least a portion of the headrest driver 3260 to extend through the through-channel 3140 and out of the through-channel 3140, thereby enabling the headrest driver 3260 to be driven and connected to the headrest engaging rod 3211 located on the back surface 3112 of the headrest body. The through-channel 3140 extends through the mounting portion 3120.

[0079] Referring to Figures 5 and 6 , the headrest driver 3260 is drivingly connected to the headrest engaging rod 3211, thereby driving the headrest engaging rod 3211 to move in the front-to-back direction. Specifically, each headrest driver 3260 is provided with a drive slot 3261. The angle between the drive slot 3261 and the movement direction of the headrest operating member 3220 is acute, and the angle between the drive slot 3261 and the sliding slot 3234 is also acute. The headrest engaging rod 3211 is disposed within the sliding slot 3234 and the drive slot 3261. In this embodiment, the headrest engaging rod 3211 is blocked by the walls of the drive groove 3261 and the walls of the sliding groove 3234, causing the headrest engaging rod 3211 to move along the drive groove 3261 and the sliding groove 3234, thereby driving the headrest engaging rod 3211 to move in the front-to-back direction between a headrest locking position and a headrest releasing position, thereby locking or unlocking the headrest body 3100 and adjusting the height of the headrest body 3100. At least a portion of the headrest driving member 3260 extends into the sliding member 3230 and is provided with a drive groove 3261, which is directly opposite the sliding groove 3234 provided on the sliding member 3230. As shown in conjunction with Figures 8 and 9, the headrest engaging rod 3211 passes through the sliding groove 3234 and the drive groove 3261 and extends outside the sliding member 3230.

[0080] With reference to Figures 5, 6, and 12, the sliding member 3230 is provided with a first receiving groove 3236 and a second receiving groove 3238, which are interconnected. The first receiving groove 3236 is connected to the sliding groove 3234. The opening of the first receiving groove 3236 faces the mounting portion 3120 and directly opposes the through-channel 3140 (see Figure 9). In other words, the projection of the first receiving groove 3236 on the headrest body 3100 at least partially overlaps with the through-channel 3140. At least a portion of the headrest driver 3260 is accommodated within the first receiving groove 3236. This facilitates insertion of the headrest driver 3260 into the first receiving groove 3236. One end of the first receiving groove 3236 is open, while the other end forms a stopper 3237. Specifically, the end of the first receiving groove 3236 adjacent to the second receiving groove 3238 forms the stopper 3237. The first receiving groove 3236 extends longitudinally, i.e., the extending direction of the first receiving groove 3236 is substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the backrest body 1100. At least a portion of the headrest driver 3260 is slidably disposed within the first receiving groove 3236 and is adapted to be stopped by the limiting end 3237 to limit the movement of the headrest driver 3260 relative to the sliding member 3230. In other words, the movement of the headrest operating member 3220 relative to the headrest body 3100 is limited.

[0081] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in one embodiment, the headrest adjustment mechanism 3200 further includes a first return member 3240 disposed between the slider 3230 and the headrest driver 3260. The first return member 3240 is adapted to bias the headrest driver 3260 to drive the headrest engagement rod 3211 toward the headrest locking position. Thus, when the headrest operating member 3220 is not operated, the elastic restoring force of the first return member 3240 causes the headrest operating member 3220 to return to its original position and drives the headrest engagement rod 3211 toward the headrest locking position. Specifically, at least a portion of the headrest driver 3260 is accommodated within the first receiving groove 3236 and is provided with a flat abutment surface 3225. The first return member 3240 is, for example, a compression spring. One end of the first restoring member 3240 is received in the second receiving groove 3238 and abuts the end of the second receiving groove 3238. The other end of the first restoring member 3240 extends into the first receiving groove 3236 and abuts the abutment surface 3225. More specifically, a first boss 3239 is provided at the end of the second receiving groove 3238, and is disposed opposite the abutment surface 3225. One end of the first restoring member 3240 is sleeved onto the first boss 3239 and abuts the end of the second receiving groove 3238. The other end of the first restoring member 3240 abuts the abutment surface 3225. Sleeving the first restoring member 3240 onto the first boss 3239 prevents the first restoring member 3240 from shifting.

[0082] In this embodiment, there is one first restoring member 3240. The first restoring member 3240 is disposed within the sliding member 3230 disposed opposite the second sliding groove 1220. In other embodiments, the number of first restoring members may be two or more, with each sliding member 3230 being provided with a first restoring member 3240.

[0083] As shown in Figure 11, in one embodiment, the headrest adjustment mechanism 3200 further includes a second reset member 3250, which is disposed between the fixed seat 3300 and the operating portion 3221. The second reset member 3250 is configured to bias the operating portion 3221 to reset the headrest operating member 3220, and to drive the headrest engaging member 3210 to switch to the headrest locked position via the headrest driving member 3260 of the headrest operating member 3220. The second reset member 3250 is disposed between the seat body 3320 and the operating portion 3221. The second reset member 3250 is, for example, a compression spring. The seat body 3320 is provided with a receiving slot 3321. The opening of the receiving slot 3321 faces toward the seat 2000, that is, the opening of the receiving slot 3321 is generally downward. When the headrest operating member 3220 is operated, the operating portion 3221 moves into the receiving slot 3321. Specifically, the second restoring member 3250 is at least partially accommodated within the accommodating groove 3321. One end of the second restoring member 3250 abuts the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 3321, and the other end of the second restoring member 3250 abuts the operating portion 3221. More specifically, the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 3321 is provided with a second boss 3340, and the operating portion 3221 is provided with an accommodating recess 3226. One end of the second restoring member 3250 is sleeved on the second boss 3340 and abuts the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 3321, while the other end of the second restoring member 3250 is accommodated in the accommodating recess 3226 and abuts the bottom wall of the accommodating recess 3226.

[0084] The operating principles of the child safety seat 10 and the headrest 3000 thereof provided in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention are as follows.

[0085] To adjust the height of the headrest 3000, the operating portion 3221 of the headrest operating member 3220 is pulled upward. The operating portion 3221, via the operating connection portion 3223 and the two connecting arms 3222, drives the headrest driver 3260 upward. The two headrest drivers 3260, through the driving grooves 3261 provided therein, engage with the headrest engaging rods 3211, driving the headrest engaging rods 3211 rearward along the sliding grooves 3234, causing them to exit the corresponding shifting slots 1400 (i.e., the headrest engaging rods 3211 move to the headrest release position). At this point, the headrest body 3100 can be moved axially relative to the backrest body 1100, driving the sliding member and the headrest engaging rods 3211 to move together. When the headrest body 3100 reaches the desired height, the headrest engaging rods 3211 align directly with one of the shifting slots 1400. At this point, the headrest operating member 3220 is released, and the headrest driving member 3260 moves and resets under the elastic restoring force of the first reset member 3240. The driving engagement between the driving slot 3261 and the headrest engaging rod 3211 causes the headrest engaging rod 3211 to move forward and engage with the opposite shift slot 1400. Simultaneously, the operating portion 3221 further moves and resets under the elastic restoring force of the second reset member 3250.

[0086] The headrest 3000 and the child safety seat 10 having the same, provided in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, have at least the following beneficial effects: The headrest operating member 3220 drives the headrest engaging member 3210 to switch between a headrest locking position and a headrest unlocking position, causing the headrest engaging member 3210 disposed on the headrest slider 3230 to selectively engage with the backrest body 1100, thereby selectively restricting or allowing relative movement between the headrest slider 3230 and the backrest body 1100, thereby simultaneously restricting or allowing relative movement between the headrest body 3100 and the backrest body 1100. This allows for height adjustment of the headrest 3000 (i.e., the headrest body 3100). The headrest 3000 provided in this embodiment of the present invention has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0087] Figures 13, 27, and 35 schematically illustrate a child safety seat 10 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The child safety seat 10 can be secured to a vehicle seat using, for example, ISOFIX connectors, top straps, or other structures, or can be secured to the vehicle seat using the vehicle's seatbelts. The child safety seat 10 can include a backrest 4000 and a booster cushion 5000 according to some embodiments of the present invention. The booster cushion 5000 can correspond to the seat 2000 described in the above embodiments; that is, the seat 2000 in the above embodiments can be replaced by the booster cushion 5000. The booster cushion 5000 will be described below along with the child safety seat 10.

[0088] As shown in Figures 13, 14, and 28, in some embodiments, the booster cushion 5000 is detachably connected to the backrest 4000. The booster cushion 5000 has a first use mode, in which it is connected to the backrest 4000 for use together with the backrest 4000, and a second use mode, in which it is detached from the backrest 4000 for standalone use. In the first use mode, the booster cushion 5000 and the backrest 4000 together define the seating space of the child safety seat 10, and the child is restrained within the seating space by a seat belt (e.g., the seat belt 300 described in the above embodiment). The first use mode is suitable for children in the younger age group (e.g., one to four years old). In this mode, the child safety seat 10 can be a forward-facing or rear-facing child seat. In the second use mode, the booster cushion 5000 and the backrest of the vehicle seat together define the seating space of the booster cushion 5000, and the child is restrained within the seating space by the vehicle seat belt. The second usage mode is suitable for children in an older age group (e.g., four to twelve years old). In this mode, the booster cushion 5000 can be used forward-facing. The detachable booster cushion 5000 allows the child safety seat 10 to have multiple usage modes, meeting the needs of children of different ages and increasing the utilization rate of the child safety seat 10.

[0089] 14, 16, and 22, the booster cushion 5000 includes a cushion body 5100, which includes a first shell 5111 and a second shell 5112. The first shell 5111 and the second shell 5112 engage to form a seat cavity 5113 of the booster cushion 5000. The cushion body 5100 includes a mating rib 5180 disposed at the rear end of the booster cushion 5000 to engage with the backrest body 4100 of the backrest portion 4000, thereby securing the booster cushion 5000 in a desired position.

[0090] 21, 25, and 31, the booster cushion 5000 further includes a connecting mechanism 5200 and a retaining mechanism 5300 housed within the cushion cavity 5113. The connecting mechanism 5200 is used to detachably assemble the booster cushion 5000 into the child safety seat 10, and the retaining mechanism 5300 allows the booster cushion 5000, after being disassembled, to be switched to a locked and released state for subsequent use.

[0091] Referring to Figures 15 and 20 , the backrest 4000 includes a backrest body 4100, which includes backrest limiting ribs 4120, engaging member receiving portions 4130, and a retaining member driving portion 4140, all located on either side of the backrest body 4100. The backrest limiting ribs 4120 are located near the rear end of the backrest body 4100 and are configured to engage with the mating ribs 5180 of the booster cushion 5000. The engaging member receiving portions 4130 are adapted to receive the engaging member 5210 of the connecting mechanism 5200. In this embodiment, the engaging member receiving portions 4130 are backrest engaging holes 4131. The backrest limiting ribs 4120, engaging member receiving portions 4130, and retaining member driving portion 4140 may also be located elsewhere on the backrest body 4100. For example, the engaging member receiving portions 4130 may be located at the front end of the backrest body, or the retaining member driving portion 4140 may be located on the upper surface of the backrest body.

[0092] 15 , 17 , and 18 , the retainer driving portion 4140 can protrude from the backrest body 4100. Specifically, the retainer driving portion 4140 can include a driving protrusion 4141 that can gradually increase in height relative to the backrest body 4100 along the direction of removal of the booster cushion 5000, thereby facilitating removal of the booster cushion 5000 from the child safety seat 10 or assembly thereof. The retainer driving portion 4140 can also include a recess 4142 recessed inwardly relative to the backrest body 4100. The driving protrusion 4141 is positioned within the recess 4142 and, when the booster cushion is assembled into the child safety seat 10, can abut against the retaining mechanism 5300, thereby driving the retaining mechanism 5300 to move relative to the seat cushion body 5100.

[0093] Referring to Figures 21, 22, and 23, the retaining mechanism 5300 includes a retaining member 5310 connected to the seat cushion body 5100 and a third return member 5320 disposed between the retaining member 5310 and the seat cushion body 5100. The retaining member 5310 includes a driving portion 5311 and a transmission portion 5312 connected to the driving portion 5311. The driving portion 5311 and the transmission portion 5312 can be integrally formed or separately formed and connected together. The transmission portion 5312 is used to engage the connecting mechanism 5200, and the driving portion 5311 is used to drive the retaining member 5310 toward the unlocked position. The first elastic member 5321 is configured to bias the retaining mechanism 5300 toward the locked position. The third return member 5320 can be fixed to the seat cushion body 5100 or fixedly connected to the retaining member 5310. Alternatively, the third restoring member 5320 may be an elastic sheet formed at one end of the retaining member 5310 , and the elastic sheet may be detachably pressed against the seat cushion body 5100 .

[0094] The connecting mechanism 5200 is disposed on the seat cushion body 5100 and includes a latching member 5210 and a first operating member 5220 connected to the latching member 5210 and movably connected to the seat cushion body 5100. The latching member 5210 includes a latching connection portion 5211 connected to the first operating member 5220 and a latching pin 5212. The latching pin 5212 can be integrally formed with the latching connection portion 5211 or separately formed. The latching pin 5212 passes through the seat cushion latching hole 5160 of the seat cushion body 5100 and latches with the backrest latching hole 4131 (see FIG. 15 ) of the backrest portion 4000. In this embodiment, the latching member 5210 is in the form of a pin; however, the latching member 5210 may also have other shapes. In this case, the latching member receiving portion 4130 is shaped to match the latching member 5210.

[0095] Referring to Figures 15, 25, and 26, the first operating member 5220 may include an operating connection portion 5221 and an operating block 5222. The operating connection portion 5221 and the operating block 5222 may be integrally formed or separately formed. The operating block 5222 may be engaged with the retaining member 5310. The operating connection portion 5221 is connected to the engaging connection portion 5211, for example, by rotation or sliding. In this embodiment, the operating connection portion 5221 includes a drive groove 5221a, which extends a distance at a predetermined angle to the direction of movement of the engaging pin 5212 relative to the back-receiving engaging hole 4131. The length of the drive groove 5221a in the direction of movement of the engaging pin 5212 relative to the back-receiving engaging hole 4131 is greater than or equal to the distance the engaging pin retracts from the back-receiving engaging hole. In another embodiment, for example, the operating connection portion 5221 can be a gear and chain combination (not shown), and the chain is connected to the engaging connection portion 5211. The gear is rotated by controlling the handle, so that the engaging connection portion 5211 drives the engaging pin 5212 to follow the movement of the chain engaged on the gear and pass through the seat cushion engaging hole 5160 of the seat cushion body 5100 and insert into the backrest engaging hole 4131 on the backrest 2, thereby switching the engaging member 5210 between the engaging locking position and the engaging releasing position.

[0096] Referring to Figures 25, 26, and 32, the connecting mechanism 5200 may further include a fourth reset member 5230 that biases the engaging member 5210 toward the engaged locking position. As shown, the fourth reset member 5230 includes a second elastic member 5231 connected to the seat cushion body 5100. The second elastic member 5231 may be a spring or a spring, and is at least partially located within the operating block space 5222e of the operating block 5222. The operating block space 5222e may be a space formed by a plate that sandwiches the motion plane of the engaging pin 5212, thereby limiting the spring's swing in the non-compression direction. One end of the second elastic member 5231 abuts against the second housing 5112, while the other end is fixed to the engaging pin 5212. In Figure 32, the engaging connection portion 5211 may be a rod integrally formed with the engaging pin 5212. This rod can slide within the drive slot 5221a, thereby switching the engaging member 5210 between the engaged locking position and the engaged unlocking position. In another embodiment, the connecting mechanism 5200 may not include the fourth restoring member 5230.

[0097] Referring to Figures 20, 23, and 25, the driving portion 5311 of the retaining member 5310 is pivotally connected to the seat cushion body 5100 via a first pivot 7100. A guide groove 5150 recessed into the interior of the seat cushion body 5100 is formed on the first housing 5111. An opening 5151 is defined in the guide groove 5150. The driving portion 5311 includes a rotating protrusion 5311a pivotally connected to the first pivot 7100. The driving protrusion 4141 protrudes from the side of the backrest body 4100 and can be received in the guide groove 5150, pushing against the rotating protrusion 5311a. This prevents the booster cushion 5000 from sliding out of the backrest body 4100 due to an impact (e.g., sudden braking during vehicle operation) if the engaging member 5210 malfunctions (e.g., breaks). The driving portion 5311 may be a grid-like rib with an upwardly angled orientation, thereby increasing friction between the backrest body 4100 and the seat cushion body 5100 and preventing the booster cushion 5000 from sliding horizontally from the backrest body 4100 under impact. The transmission portion 5312 may be connected to or integrally formed with the rotating protrusion 5311a. When the booster cushion 5000 is removed from the child safety seat 10 and the retaining mechanism 5300 is in the retaining locked position, the rotating protrusion 5311a protrudes from the opening 5151 toward the outside of the seat cushion cavity. When the booster cushion 5000 is installed in the child safety seat 10, the retaining mechanism 5300 is in the retaining released position, and the rotating protrusion 5311a is received within the seat cushion cavity 5113. The rotating protrusion 5311a may have an inclined surface that slopes toward the entrance of the guide groove 5150. When the booster cushion 5000 is mounted on the backrest body 4100 , the driving protrusion 4141 presses the inclined surface, thereby driving the retaining mechanism 5300 to pivot toward the retaining release position, thereby releasing the engagement with the operating block 5222 .

[0098] The transmission unit 5312 may include a crossbar 5312a, and the third return member 5320 may include a first elastic member 5321. As shown, the first elastic member 5321 may be a compression spring, a tension spring, or a spring. One end of the first elastic member 5321 is fixed to the first housing 5111 of the seat cushion body 5100 and is disposed between the crossbar 5312a and the seat cushion body 5100. As the driving unit 5311 moves relative to the seat cushion body 5100, the crossbar 5312a can switch between pressing against and pushing away from the first elastic member 5321.

[0099] The transmission portion 5312 may include a snap-fit ​​end 5312b, as shown in FIG25 , which snaps into engagement with a blocking rib 5222a formed on the operating block 5222. The shape of the snap-fit ​​end 5312b may be modified according to actual conditions, as long as it can snap fit the operating member 322.

[0100] As shown in Figures 19, 20, and 23, the seat cushion body 5100 may further include a first limiting rib 5130. The first limiting rib 5130 is disposed at least partially around the first elastic member 5321 in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the first elastic member 5321, and the height of the first limiting rib 5130 in the compression direction of the first elastic member 5321 is no greater than the maximum compression length of the first elastic member 5321.

[0101] Referring to Figures 23, 24, and 25, the operating block 5222 is formed with a first limiting hole 5222b extending a certain length along the direction of movement of the first operating member 5220. A limiting post 5240 passes through the first limiting hole 5222b and is secured within the seat cushion body 5100, thereby limiting the direction of movement of the operating block 5222. Furthermore, the positioning of the second elastic member 5231 and the limiting post 5240 on the seat cushion body 5100 generally defines the vertical positioning of the first operating member 5220. The operating block 5222 may also be formed with an operating recess 5222c. The seat cushion body 5100 includes a snap-fit ​​opening 5190 that exposes the seat cushion cavity 5113. The operating recess 5222c is recessed from the exterior of the seat cushion body 5100 toward the seat cushion cavity 5113, with at least a portion of the operating recess 5222c exposed outward from the snap-fit ​​opening 5190.

[0102] The seat cushion body 5100 includes a second limiting rib 5140, which protrudes relative to the seat cushion body 5100 along the movement direction of the first operating member 5220, so that during operation, the first operating member 5220 will be supported by the second limiting rib 5140 and will not be directly pressed on the seat cushion body 5100, or cause the first operating member 5220 to rotate and lose its function.

[0103] The operating block 5222 may be formed with a limiting protrusion 5222d, which protrudes from the side of the operating recess 5222c opposite the outwardly exposed side of the operating block 5222. The second limiting rib 5140 is formed with a locking recess 5141 at the front end in the direction of movement of the first operating member 5220, which matches the shape of the limiting protrusion 5222d. The limiting protrusion 5222d engages and disengages with the locking recess 5141 as the engaging member 5210 switches between the locked and released positions.

[0104] 15 , 25 and 26 , when preparing to remove the booster cushion 5000 from the backrest portion 4000, place your hand on the operating recess 5222 c and apply force upward to lift the first operating member 5220 upward along the drive groove 5221 a relative to the engaging member 5210. As a result, the force applied to the engaging member 5210 causes the engaging member 5210 to retract from the backrest engaging hole 4131 and be biased against the second elastic member 5231, thereby returning the engaging member 5210 to the engaged and unlocked state. As the booster cushion 5000 is gradually removed from the backrest 4000, the driving protrusion 4141 moves away from the driving protrusion 4141, and the force applied to the crossbar 5312a decreases until it disappears. The first elastic member 5321, through its restoring force, pushes away from the crossbar 5312a. Under the action of the thrust, the engaging end 5312b, which is integrally formed with or fixedly connected to the crossbar 5312a, moves toward the first operating member 5220 and engages with the blocking rib 5222a of the first operating member 5220, thereby retaining the first operating member 5220 in the released position, that is, retaining the engaging member 5210 in the engaged and released position. When the booster cushion 5000 is installed in the backrest 4000, the engaging rib 5180 abuts against the backrest limiting rib 4120, and the driving protrusion 4141 in the retainer driving portion 4140 pushes against the driving portion 5311, causing the driving portion 5311 to rotate relative to the seat cushion body 5100 about the first pivot 7100. As the drive unit 5311 rotates, the transmission unit 5312 connected to the drive unit 5311 rotates, causing the crossbar 5312a to rotate and be biased against the first elastic member 5321, releasing the engagement end 5312b from the blocking rib 5222a. At this point, the restoring force of the first elastic member 5321 pushes the engagement pin 5212 from the seat cushion engagement hole 5160 into the backrest engagement hole 4131, allowing the engagement member 5210 to switch to the engaged and locked position.

[0105] In this embodiment, the retaining mechanism 5300 changes the engagement state between the retaining mechanism 5300 and the connecting mechanism 5200 through the restoring force of the first elastic member 5321. In practice, the switching of the engagement state between the retaining mechanism 5300 and the connecting mechanism 5200 can also be achieved through other forces. For example, a weight block capable of sliding along a slideway on the seat cushion body 5100 can be provided on the driving portion 5311. The weight block can be rotatably connected to the transmission portion 5312. When the booster cushion 5000 and the backrest 4000 are assembled together, the weight block is blocked by the backrest body 4100 and slides upward, causing the transmission portion 5312 connected to the weight block to deflect, thereby disengaging the retaining member 5310 from the operating member 322. When the booster cushion 5000 is disassembled from the backrest 4000, the gravity block separates from the backrest body 4100 and slides down the slideway under the action of gravity, causing the transmission part 5312 connected to the gravity block to deflect. At this time, the retaining member 5310 and the operating member 322 are engaged again.

[0106] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the retaining mechanism 5300 rotates relative to the seat cushion body 5100 by rotating about the first pivot 7100. In essence, the retaining mechanism 5300 can slide relative to the seat cushion body 5100. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the state of the retaining mechanism 5300 is changed by the movement of the spring relative to the seat cushion body 5100 in its longitudinal direction. In essence, the state of the retaining mechanism 5300 can also be changed by utilizing the biasing force of the spring. For example, identical horizontal grooves can be provided on both sides of the seat cushion body 5100 where the first elastic member 5321 is provided. The transmission portion 5312 is positioned between the first operating member 5220 and the first elastic member 5321, with one end of the first elastic member 5321 being provided on the seat cushion body 5100. Both the driving portion 5311 and the transmission portion 5312 of the retaining member 5310 can slide synchronously within the grooves. The transmission portion 5312 can include an inclined surface, and a blocking portion capable of blocking the driving portion 5311 can be provided on the backrest body 4100. When the booster cushion 5000 and the backrest 4000 are assembled horizontally, the driving portion 5311 slides against the blocking portion of the backrest body 4100, causing the transmission portion 5312, which is coupled to the driving portion 5311, to move toward the first elastic member 5321 and press its inclined surface against the first elastic member 5321, thereby disengaging the retaining member 5310 from the first operating member 5220. During disassembly, the driving portion 5311 separates from the blocking portion of the backrest body 4100, and the restoring force of the first elastic member 5321 pushes the transmission portion 5312 toward the first operating member 5220, causing it to engage with the first operating member 5220.

[0107] Referring to Figures 16, 33, and 35, the seat cushion body 5100 may further include armrests 5170. The armrests 5170 are disposed on both sides of the seat cushion body 5100 and extend upward from the upper surface 5121 of the seat cushion body 5100 at a certain angle thereto. They form first holes 5171 for the vehicle seat belt to pass through. The armrests 5170 may also include a storage recess 5172 formed by a portion of the seat cushion body 5100 outside the seat cushion cavity 5113 and providing a storage space. The storage recess 5172 includes a storage connection hole 5172a recessed from the storage recess 5172 toward the upper surface 5121 of the seat cushion body 5100, and a connection groove 5172b on the side of the storage recess 5172.

[0108] As shown in Figures 33, 34, and 35, the booster cushion 5000 also includes at least one storage cup 5400. The storage cup 5400 includes a connecting post 5410 protruding from the bottom of the storage cup 5400 and a cup connecting protrusion 5420 protruding from the side of the storage cup 5400. The connecting post 5410 is inserted into the storage connection hole 5172a, and the cup connecting protrusion 5420 engages with the connecting groove 5172b.

[0109] Referring to Figures 17, 26, and 28, the child safety seat 10 may further include a base 200, a headrest 3000, and an angle adjustment mechanism 6000. In this embodiment, the child safety seat 10 includes the angle adjustment mechanism 6000, which allows adjustment of the angle of the backrest 4000 relative to the base 200. In other embodiments, the backrest 4000 may not include the angle adjustment mechanism 6000, and / or the child safety seat 10 may not include the base 200, which is not a limitation of this application. Furthermore, a booster cushion 5000 may be assembled directly with the base 200 for use by older children. In this case, the base 200 can be provided with a base engaging portion (not shown) to engage with the engaging member 5210 of the booster cushion 5000, and a base driving portion to drive the driving portion 5311 of the booster cushion 5000 to move relative to the cushion body 5100. The configuration of the base engaging portion and the base driving portion is the same as that of the engaging member receiving portion 4130 and the retaining member driving portion 4140 of the backrest body 4100, and therefore will not be repeated.

[0110] Referring to Figures 29, 30, and 32, the base 200 may include a base body 210, a joint 230, and a pivoting portion 240. The base 200 may be integrally formed. Alternatively, it may be formed by snapping together an upper base shell 201 and a lower base shell 202. The lower surface 5122 may be flat to facilitate mounting the booster cushion 5000 or child safety seat 10 on a vehicle seat. The pivoting portion 240 and the joint 230 extend upward at a predetermined angle relative to the upper base surface 211 of the base body 210. The joint 230 engages with the angle adjustment mechanism 6000. The pivoting portion 240 is rotatably connected to the backrest body 4100 of the backrest 4000 via a second pivot 7200. In the embodiment shown in Figure 30, the pivoting portion 240 is triangular in shape. The pivoting portion 240 is pivotally connected to the backrest body 4100 at approximately the vertex of the triangle. In other embodiments, the pivoting portion 240 may also be any other shape suitable for pivoting with the backrest body 4100.

[0111] 28 , 29 and 38 , the angle adjustment mechanism 6000 is movably connected to the base 200 and to the backrest body 4100 , thereby adjusting the angle of the backrest body 4100 relative to the base 200 to meet the user's comfort requirements and increase the utilization rate of the child safety seat.

[0112] Specifically, the angle adjustment mechanism 6000 includes a fifth reset member 6100 and a second operating member 6200. The fifth reset member 6100 may include a third elastic member 6110, which may be a spring. One end of the third elastic member 6110 abuts against the bottom of the backrest body 4100 and is movable relative to the backrest body 4100, and the other end abuts against the second operating member 6200.

[0113] The second operating member 6200 includes a rotating portion 6210 and a sliding portion 6220. The rotating portion 6210 is generally funnel-shaped, at least partially housing the third elastic member 6110 and rotatably connected to the backrest body 4100 via a third pivot 7300. The sliding portion 6220 can be integrally formed with the rotating portion 6210 or connected to the rotating portion 6210. One end of the sliding portion 6220 is capable of sliding relative to the base 200.

[0114] Referring to Figures 30 and 38 , the base 200 includes a shift portion 220 protruding from the base upper surface 211 of the base body 210. The center of the top of the shift portion 220 is recessed to form an arc-shaped recessed platform 223, with engagement portions 230 formed on either side of the recessed platform 223. At least one, for example, two, three, or more, angular shift grooves 221 are provided on either side of the shift portion 220, along the height direction of the shift portion 220 relative to the base 200. The angular shift grooves 221 are formed at an angle slanting upward from the shift portion 220.

[0115] The sliding portion 6220 is generally inverted U-shaped and includes two separate legs 6221 that mate with the shift portion 220. The shift pin 7400 passes through each leg 6221 and engages with the angular shift slot 221. When force is applied to the second operating member 6200, the second operating member 6200 rotates relative to the backrest body 4100, causing the shift pin 7400 to disengage from the angular shift slot 221 and engage with another angular shift slot 221. The shift portion 220 also includes angular shift ribs 222 formed on both sides of the shift portion 220, extending in the height direction of the protrusion relative to the base 200. The angular shift ribs 222 at least partially surround the angular shift slot 221 in the direction of movement of the shift pin 7400, thereby retaining the shift pin 7400 in the angular shift slot 221. Referring to Figures 15, 22, and 32, the backrest portion 4000 includes a reinforcement tube 4300. The reinforcement tube 4300 is fixedly mounted within the backrest body 4100 and extends from the upper backrest portion 4111 (the portion for resting a child's back) to the lower backrest portion 4112 (the portion for accommodating the buttocks). The reinforcement tube 4300 includes a first reinforcement hole 4310 opposite the backrest engagement hole 4131. The engagement member 5210 can be inserted through the backrest engagement hole 4131 into the first reinforcement hole 4310. The reinforcement tube 4300 also includes a second reinforcement hole 4320 opposite the second pivot 7200. The second pivot 7200 is inserted through the connection hole 4150 of the backrest body 4100 into the second reinforcement hole 4320.

[0116] Referring to Figures 35, 36, and 37, the backrest body 4100 of the backrest portion 4000 includes a storage recess 4160 above the upper surface 5121 of the seat cushion body 5100.
