The openable mechanism 39 in this embodiment differs from the openable mechanism 39 in the above embodiments shown in FIGS. 31 to 33 in at least following configurations.
[0125] As shown in FIG. 45, the openable mechanism 39 includes two openable unlocking members 391 and an openable reset member 392 disposed between the two openable unlocking members 391. The two openable unlocking members 391 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the cover 33. The two openable unlocking members 391 are movably disposed on the cover 33. When the two openable unlocking members 391 respectively move between the first position and the second position, the two openable unlocking members 391 move in opposite directions respectively. In some alternative embodiments, the openable mechanisms 39 are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the cover 33, and each openable mechanism 39 includes the openable unlocking member 391 and the openable reset member 392 disposed between the openable unlocking member 391 and the cover 33.
[0126] For ease of description, referring to FIGS. 43 and 45, in this embodiment, the openable unlocking member 391 disposed on the left side of the cover 33 is taken as an example for illustration.
[0127] As shown in FIGS. 43 and 45, the moving direction of the openable unlocking member 391 is substantially perpendicular to the left side of the cover 33. That is, the moving direction of the openable unlocking member 391 is substantially parallel to the first side 331 of the cover 33. That is, the moving direction of the openable unlocking member 391 is substantially parallel to the left-right direction. Accordingly, the engaging hole 315 is disposed on the sidewall of the storage recess 314 or on the sidewall of the jointing recess 3102. The engaging end 3911 of the openable unlocking member 391 may at least partially extend out of the left side of the cover 33, so that the engaging end 3911 may be engaged with the engaging hole 315. Specifically, when the openable unlocking member 391 is in the first position, the engaging end 3911 extends out of the left side of the cover 33 and may be engaged with the engaging hole 315; when the openable unlocking member 391 is in the second position, theengaging end 3911 retracts into the cover 33, so that the engaging end 3911 is separated from the engaging hole 315.
[0128] As shown in FIG. 44, the openable unlocking member 391 includes an unlocking push knob 391a and an engaging pin 391b inserted through the unlocking push knob 391a. The engaging pin 391b is fixedly or detachably connected to the unlocking push knob 391a. A portion of the engaging pin 391b extending out of the unlocking push knob 391a is formed as the engaging end 3911. The openable unlocking member 391 is provided with an operating recess 3914. The operating recess 3914 is a groove with an opening facing upward and disposed on the unlocking push knob 391a. The sidewall of the operating recess 3914 away from the engaging end 3911 is formed as at least a portion of the unlocking member 3912. When the openable unlocking member 391 is in the first position, at least a portion of the operating recess 3914 faces the operating port 334 of the cover 33, and at least a portion of the operating recess 3914 is exposed through the operating port 334, so as to allow for extending into the groove 3912a via the operating port 334 and allow the operating recess 3914 to be pushed against, thereby pushing the openable unlocking member 391 to move toward the second position. When the openable unlocking member 391 is in the second position, at least a portion of the operating recess 3914 is exposed through the operating port 334. The openable unlocking member 391 is further provided with a limiting part 3915. The limiting part 3915 protrudes from the opening of the operating recess 3914 and may at least partially extend into the operating port 334. In this way, the sidewall of the operating port 334 may be used to block the limiting part 3915 to limit the movement of the openable unlocking member 391, thereby preventing the unlocking member 3912 from being moved to be offset from the operating port 334, and the openable unlocking member 391 may be operated by both the limiting part 3915 and the unlocking member 3912.
[0129] As shown in FIG. 45, the openable reset member 392 is, for example, a compression spring. The openable reset member 392 abuts against the two openable unlocking members 391 respectively, so that the two openable unlocking members 391 move toward the first position respectively. That is, when any of the openable unlocking members 391 is not operated, the openable unlocking member 391 that is not operated is kept in the first position under the action of the openable reset member 392. Specifically, each openable unlockingmember 391 is provided with the reset recess 3913. The reset recess 3913 is disposed at the unlocking push knob 391a and is located at a side of the operating recess 3914 away from the engaging end 3911. A boss 3916 is disposed in the reset recess 3913. The two ends of the openable reset member 392 are respectively received in the reset recesses 3913 of the two openable unlocking members 391, and are respectively sleeved on the respective bosses 3916. In this way, the openable reset member 392 may be prevented from being offset during an elastic energy storage process. In this embodiment, when the two openable unlocking members 391 move from the first position to the second position respectively, the two openable unlocking members 391 move in directions approaching each other. Specifically, the openable unlocking member 391 disposed on the left side of the cover 33 moves to the right, and the openable unlocking member 391 disposed on the right side of the cover 33 moves to the left. In other words, when the openable mechanism 39 is required to perform unlocking, the two openable unlocking members 391 are pushed or simultaneously pressed, in directions allowing them to approach each other, so that the two openable unlocking members 391 simultaneously move from the first position to the second position.
[0130] As shown in FIGS. 10, 12 and 34, the booster 3 further includes a cup holder 38. The cup holder 38 is detachably connected to at least one of the armrest parts 34. A cross section of the cup holder 38 is approximately circular, so as to facilitate the placement of objects such as water cups, and reduce the interference of the cup holder 38 with the adjacent objects or passengers. At least one armrest part 34 is provided with a holder recess 343 configured to be engaged with the cup holder 38. In this embodiment, the outer side surfaces 342 of the two armrest parts 34 each are provided with the holder recess 343, and one cup holder 38 may be provided. As such, the user may choose to engage the cup holder 38 with one of the holder recesses 343 as needed. In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 1, two cup holders 38 are provided, and the two cup holders 38 are respectively engaged with the two holder recesses 343. It should be understood that in another embodiment, more than two cup holders 38 may be provided, and more than two holder recesses 343 may be provided, which is not limited herein.
[0131] For ease of description, one of the armrest parts 34 and the cup holder 38 disposed thereon are taken as an example for illustration below.
[0132] As shown in FIG. 34, the armrest part 34 includes a first armrest part 34a located in front of the first hole 36 and a second armrest part 34b located in the rear of the first hole 36. The holder recess 343 is disposed on the first armrest part 34a. The cup holder 38 is provided with a connecting protrusion 381. The holder recess 343 is provided with an entrance groove 344 in communication with the limiting hole 345. The connecting protrusion 381 enters into the limiting hole 345 through the entrance groove 344 and is locked, to fix the cup holder 38 at the holder recess 343. The cup holder 38 includes a storage cup 383. The connecting protrusion 381 is disposed on a sidewall of the storage cup 383. Specifically, the connecting protrusion 381 includes a connecting part 3811 and a locking part 3812. The connecting part3811 is connected between the locking part 3812 and the sidewall of the storage cup 383. The locking part 3812 is connected to the connecting part 3811 and extends in a direction parallel to the sidewall of the storage cup 383 at a distance from the connecting part 3811. The holder recess 343 has a sidewall 3431 and a bottom wall 3432. The entrance groove 344 and the limiting hole 345 each extend through the side wall 3431. The locking part 3812 of the connecting protrusion 381 extends through the entrance groove 3411, so that the locking part3812 may extend from the inner sidewall 3431a of the holder recess 343 to the outer sidewall (not shown) of the holder recess 343. The connecting part 3811 of the connecting protrusion 381 enters into the limiting hole 345 along the groove 3411, so that the locking part 3812 abuts against the outer sidewall of the holder recess 343 at the limiting hole 345, thereby locking the connecting protrusion 381 at the limiting hole 345.
[0133] Continuing to refer to FIG. 34, the entrance groove 344 is approximately L-shaped. The entrance groove 344 includes a first groove section 3441 and a second groove section 3442 that are in communication with each other. The second groove section 3442 is located between the first groove section 3441 and the limiting hole 345. The first groove section 3441 extends in a direction approximately perpendicular to the bottom wall 3432. The second groove section 3442 extends in a direction approximately parallel to the bottom wall 3432, that is, extends in a direction approximately parallel to the circumference of the holder recess 343. The distance between the opposite sidewalls of the first groove section 3441 is greater than the distance between the opposite sidewalls of the second groove section 3442. The connecting protrusion 381 may freely extend through the first groove section 3441, that is, the locking part 3812 ofthe connecting protrusion 381 may freely extend into or withdraw from the first groove section 3441, while the locking part 3812 of the connecting protrusion 381 cannot freely extend into or withdraw from the second groove section 3442, and the connecting protrusion 381 may slide relative to the second groove section 3442 along the extending direction of the second groove section 3442.
[0134] As shown in FIG. 34, a limiting protrusion 349 is disposed at the transition portion between the second groove section 3442 of the entrance groove 344 and the limiting hole 345. The limiting protrusion 349 protrudes from the sidewall of the second groove section 3442, and is configured to limit the connecting part 3811 of the connecting protrusion 381 in the limiting hole 345, thereby preventing the connecting protrusion 381 from accidentally separating from the limiting hole 345. The connecting part 3811 of the connecting protrusion 381 may push against the limiting protrusion 349 to deform it, so that the connecting protrusion 381 may slide to the limiting hole 345 or slide out of the limiting hole 345. Specifically, two limiting protrusions 349 are provided. The two limiting protrusions 349 are axially symmetrically disposed at the transition portion between the second groove section 3442 of the entrance groove 344 and the limiting hole 345. The holder recess 343 is provided with a deformation hole 347. The number of the deformation holes 347 is the same as the number of the limiting protrusions 349. In this embodiment, two deformation holes 347 are provided. The two deformation holes 347 are axially symmetrically disposed on two sides of the limiting hole 345, and are located on the respective two sides of the two limiting protrusions 349. Specifically, the two deformation holes 347 are arranged proximate to the upper and lower sides of the limiting hole 345, respectively, and are axially symmetrically disposed with respect to the limiting hole 345. The configuration of the deformation holes 347 may cause the limiting protrusion 349 and the portion adjacent thereto to deform while the connecting part 3811 of the connecting protrusion 381 is pushing against the limiting protrusion 349, so that the connecting protrusion 381 passes over the limiting protrusion 349, and then the connecting protrusion 381 may be easily engaged with or withdrawn from the limiting hole 345.
[0135] In order to enable the cup holder 38 to be more firmly connected to the holder recess 343, the cup holder 38 is further provided with a connecting column 382. The connecting column 382 is disposed on the bottom wall of the storage cup 383. The holder recess 343 isprovided with a first connecting hole 346. The connecting column 382 is inserted into and engaged with the first connecting hole 346.
[0136] In the above embodiment, the process of installing the cup holder 38 to the holder recess 343 includes steps as follows. Firstly, the connecting column 382 is aligned with the first connecting hole 346, and the connecting protrusion 381 extends through the first groove section 3441 of the entrance groove 344. Then, the cup holder 38 is moved downward along the first groove section 3441 to cause the connecting protrusion 381 to slide to the transition portion between the first groove section 3441 and the second groove section 3442, during which the connecting column 382 is inserted into the first connecting hole 346. Then, the cup holder 38 is rotated clockwise to cause the connecting protrusion 381 to slide toward the limiting hole 345 along the second groove section 3442 of the entrance groove 344. The storage cup holder 38 is still rotated clockwise, the connecting part 3811 of the connecting protrusion 381 pushes against the limiting protrusion 349 and passes over the limiting protrusion 349, to cause the connecting protrusion 381 to slide to the limiting hole 345, so that the connecting protrusion 381 is locked with the limiting hole 345.
[0137] The process of removing the cup holder 38 from the holder recess 343 is opposite to the process of installing the cup holder 38 to the holder recess 343, and specifically includes steps as follows. Firstly, the cup holder 38 is rotated counterclockwise, and the connecting part 3811 of the connecting protrusion 381 pushes against the limiting protrusion 349 and passes over the limiting protrusion 349, to cause the connecting protrusion 381 to slide from the limiting hole 345 to the second groove section 3442 of the entrance groove 344. The cup holder 388 is still rotated clockwise to cause the connecting protrusion 381 to slide toward the first groove section 3441 along the second groove section 3442 of the entrance groove 344. When the connecting protrusion 381 slides to the transition portion between the first groove section 3441 and the second groove section 3442, the cup holder 38 is moved upward to cause the connecting protrusion 381 to slide along the first groove section 3441, and during this process, the connection column 382 withdraws from the first connection hole 346. Finally, the connecting protrusion 381 is withdrawn from the first groove section 3441 of the entrance groove 344.
[0138] As shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, in an embodiment, in order to facilitate the securingof the booster 3, the booster 3 is further provided with a connecting strap assembly 7.

A first end of the second webbing 72 is connected to the middle portion of the first webbing 71, and a second end of the second webbing 72 is connected to the booster body 31. The booster 3 is provided with two armrest parts 34. Each armrest part 34 has a second hole 348. Two connectors 73 are configured to extend through two second holes 348 respectively. In this embodiment, each the second hole 348 is disposed on the first armrest part 34a. The booster 3 may be secured on the car seat by using the connecting strap assembly 7. The second end of the second webbing 72 away from the first webbing 71 is connected to the bottom wall of the storage recess 314, or extends through the bottom wall of the storage recess 314 and is connected to other components disposed on the booster body 31. When the connecting strap assembly 7 is not in use, the connecting strap assembly 7 may be stored in the storage recess 314, that is, the second webbing 7 and the connectors 73 may be received in the storage recess 314. When the connecting assembly 7 is in use, the two connectors 73 respectively disposed on the first webbing 71 extend through the respective second holes 348 of the armrest parts 34, and are locked with the car seat connector disposed on the car seat. In addition, the second webbing 72 and a portion of the first webbing 71 are clamped in the storage recess 314 by closing the cover 33, so that the first webbing 72 is prevented from being higher than the upper surface of the booster 3 and from causing discomfort to the child’s hip when tightened.
[0139] As shown in FIGS. 10 to 11, in an embodiment, the booster body 31 includes a front end 31c and a rear end 3 Id. In an embodiment, the front end 31c refers to the front half portion of the booster body 31 in the front-back direction (i.e., the first direction DI), and the rear end 3 Id refers to the rear half portion of the booster body 31 in the front-back direction. The center line of the booster body 31 in the left-right direction (i.e., the second direction D2) forms a dividing line between the front end 31c and the rear end 3 Id. Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 2, the portion of the booster body 31 located on the left side of the section line Ul-Ul is the front end 31c, and the portion located on the right side of the section line Ul-Ul is the rear end 31d. Continuing to refer to FIGS. 10 and 11, the booster body 31 is provided with a matinggroove 311. The mating groove 311 is located on the lower surface 3 lb of the booster body 31. The mating groove 311 is configured to be engaged with at least a portion of the backrest assembly 2. Specifically, the mating groove 311 is roughly U-shaped. The mating groove 311 includes two first grooves 3111 and a second groove 3112 in communication with the two first grooves 3111. The two first grooves 3111 are substantially parallel to each other. Each first groove 3111 extends from the rear end 3 Id to the front end 31c, that is, extends forward in the first direction D 1. The two first grooves 3111 are configured to be engaged with the two mating ribs 22 respectively to limit the movement of the booster 3 relative to the mating ribs 22 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction DI. Two ends of the second groove 3112 are in communication with the first groove 3111. Referring to FIG. 9, the second groove 3112 is configured to at least partially accommodate the cross bar 23, and the sidewall of the second groove 3112 adjacent to the backrest body 21 may abut against the cross bar 32, thereby limiting the movement of the booster 3 relative to the cross bar 23 in the first direction DI, that is, limiting the forward movement of the booster 3 relative to the cross bar 23. In other unillustrated embodiments, the mating groove 311 may be provided with only the first groove 3111. The first groove 3111 is engaged with the mating rib 22, which is not limited herein.
[0140] In an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and 12, the booster 3 is provided with a connecting mechanism 32. The connecting mechanism 32 is connected to the booster body 31. The booster 3 is connected to the backrest assembly 2 by the connecting mechanism 32. The connecting mechanism 32 is disposed proximate to the front end 31c of the booster body 31. The connecting mechanism 32 includes a locking member 321, an unlocking member 322 and an elastic member 323. The locking member 321 is pivotally connected to the booster body 31 and has a hook part 3211. The locking member 321 may pivot between an unlocked position and a locked position. When the locking member 321 is in the locked position, the locking member 321 is engaged with the backrest assembly 2 to allow the booster 3 to be connected to the backrest assembly 2. When the locking member 321 is in the locked position, the locking member 321 is disengaged from the backrest assembly 2 to allow the booster 3 to be separated from the backrest assembly 2. Specifically, referring to FIG. 8, when the locking member 321 is in the locked position, the hook part 3211 of the locking member 321 is inserted into the second groove 3112 to be engaged with the cross bar 23. Referring to FIG. 9, when the lockingmember 321 is in the unlocked position, the hook part 3211 is configured to be disengaged from the cross bar 23, that is, the hook part 3211 is disengaged from the cross bar 23 and separated from the second groove 3112.
[0141] In other unillustrated embodiments, the locking member 321 may also slide relative to the booster body 31 in the first direction DI, in the second direction D2 or in the third direction D3. In these embodiments, the end of the locking member 321 is connected to the end of the unlocking member 322 by a driving component such as a steel wire or an inclined surface. When the locking member 321 slides relative to the booster body 31, the locking member 321 drives the driving component to move, and the driving component pulls or pushes against the end of the locking member 322, so that the locking member 322 rotates toward the unlocked position.
[0142] Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, in an embodiment, the locking member 321 is substantially C-shaped. The locking member 321 is provided with a pivoting part 3214 and a driving part 3213 connected to the pivoting part 3214. The booster body 31 is provided with a channel 313. The channel 313 extends through the first booster housing 301 and the second booster housing 302. The locking member 321 is configured to extend through the channel 313. The pivoting part 3214 and the driving part 3213 may extend out of an end of the channel 313. The pivoting part 3214 is pivotally connected to the booster body 31 and connected to the unlocking member 322. The unlocking member 322 is pivotally connected to the booster body 31. When the unlocking member 322 pivots, the locking member 321 may be driven to pivot by the driving part 3213. The hook part 3211 may at least partially extend out of the channel 313. Specifically, the hook part 3211 may extend out of another end of the channel 313 and be inserted into the second groove 3112 to be engaged with the cross bar 23. The cross bar 23 has an upper side surface 231, a lower side surface 232, a rear side surface 233 facing the backrest body 21, and a front side surface 234 facing away from the backrest body 21. The locking member 321 is engaged with the cross bar 23 in a direction from the rear side surface 233 of the cross bar 23 to the front side surface 234, that is, in the counterclockwise direction. The sidewall of the channel 313 forms a first limiting part 3132 and a second limiting part 3131, thereby limiting the pivoting angle of the locking member 321. In this embodiment, the sidewall of the second groove 3112 of the mating groove 311, that is, the sidewall of the secondgroove 3112 adjacent to the backrest body 21, is formed as the first limiting part 3132. When the locking member 321 is in the locked position, the first limiting part 3132 abuts against the locking member 321, and the hook part 3211 may extend out of the channel 313 and is inserted into the second groove 3112 to be engaged with the lower side surface 232 of the cross bar 23. In this way, the booster 3 may neither move forward in the front-back direction (i.e., the first direction) nor move upward in the up-down direction (i.e., the third direction D3) relative to the cross bar 23 (or the backrest assembly 2). When the locking member 321 is in the unlocked position, the locking member 321 abuts against the second limiting part 3131. By providing the first limiting part 3132 and the second limiting part 3131, the pivoting angle of the locking member 321 may be limited between the locked position and the unlocked position, thereby preventing the locking member 321 from pivoting excessively.
[0143] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the hook part 3211 of the locking member 321 is provided with a wedge-shaped surface 3212. The wedge-shaped surface 3212 is disposed at an end of the hook part 3211. The wedge-shaped surface 3212 is configured to be pushed against by the cross bar 23 to cause the locking member 321 to pivot, thereby allowing the hook part 3211 to be engaged with the cross bar 23. The upper side surface 231 of the cross bar 23 is an arc- shaped surface or an inclined surface, so as to more stably push against the wedge-shaped surface 3212. The lower side surface 232 of the cross bar 23 is substantially a flat surface, and the lower side surface 232 is slightly inclined in a direction from the front side surface 234 to the rear side surface 233, so that the lower side surface 232 may be engaged with the hook part 3211 more stably.
[0144] In an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and 12, the unlocking member 322 has a pivoting recess 3221. Specifically, the unlocking member 322 includes a top part 3222 and two opposite side parts 3223. The two side parts 3223 are connected to the two sides of the top part 3222 respectively and are substantially parallel to each other. The top part 3222 and the two side parts 3223 enclose the pivoting recess 3221. The unlocking member 322 is substantially U-shaped. The pivoting recess 3221 is formed at the two ends of the unlocking member 322. A handle part 3224 is disposed between the two ends of the unlocking member 322. The upper surface 31a of the booster body 31 is provided with a receiving groove 312. The receiving groove 312 is formed by the first booster housing 301. The unlocking member322 is received in the receiving groove 312 and is pivotally connected to the sidewall of the receiving groove 312. Specifically, the two ends of the unlocking member 322 are pivotally connected to the sidewalls of the receiving groove 312 respectively. More specifically, the two side parts 3223 are pivotally connected to the sidewalls of the receiving groove 312 respectively via a pin shaft 324.
[0145] Continuing to refer to FIGS. 8, 9 and 12, the receiving groove 312 is in communication with the channel 313, so that the pivoting part 3214 of the locking member 321 may extend into the receiving groove 312 to be pivotally connected to the sidewalls of the receiving groove 312. The pivoting part 3214 is at least partially received in the pivoting recess 3221. The driving part 3213 may at least partially extend out of the pivoting recess 3221, so that the driving part 3213 may be pushed against by the unlocking member 322. The pivot axis of the locking member 321 pivoting relative to the booster body 31 and the pivot axis of the unlocking member 322 pivoting relative to the booster body 31 are colinear or parallel to each other. In this embodiment, the unlocking member 322 and the locking member 321 are pivotally connected to the booster body 31 by the same pin shaft 324, and the locking member 321 and the unlocking member 322 may be pivoted relative to the pin shaft 324. Specifically, the pin shaft 324 is configured to extend into the locking member 321 and the unlocking member 322, and two ends of the pin shaft 324 are fixedly connected to the two sidewalls of the receiving groove 312 respectively. More specifically, the pin shaft 324 extends through the two side parts 3223 of the unlocking member 322 and the locking member 321, then is connected to the sidewalls of the receiving groove 312. In another embodiment, the unlocking member 322 and the locking member 321 may be pivotally connected to the booster body 31 by a plurality of pin shafts 324. For example, each pivoting recess 3221 is pivotally connected to the two sidewalls of the receiving groove 312 by two pin shafts 324, and is connected to the locking member 321, which is not limited herein.
[0146] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the unlocking member 322 may be pivoted between the first position and the second position to drive the locking member 321 to pivot between the locked position and the unlocked position. When the unlocking member 322 is in the second position, the angle between the unlocking member 322 and the booster body 31 is greater than the angle between the unlocking member 322 and the booster body 31 when the unlockingmember 322 is in the first position. In this embodiment, when the unlocking member 322 is in the first position, the locking member 321 is in the locked position, and the unlocking member 322 may be completely received in the receiving groove 312, that is, the unlocking member 322 does not protrude from the receiving groove 312. More specifically, when the unlocking member 322 is in the first position, the unlocking member 322 is just coplanar with the upper surface 3 la of the booster body 31. In this way, a relatively flat sitting surface may be provided to improve the comfort of the child sitting on the booster 3. When the unlocking member 322 pivots to the second position, the locking member 321 is in the unlocked position, and the handle part 3224 of the unlocking member 322 is separated from the receiving groove 312. In this way, the unlocking member 322 may be operated conveniently.
[0147] In another embodiment, the unlocking member 322 has a third position. The third position is located between the first position and the second position. When the unlocking member 322 pivots from the first position to the third position, the pivoting recess 3221 of the unlocking member 322 does not push against the driving part 3213 of the locking member 321 to pivot, that is, the distance from the first position to the third position forms the buffering travel of the unlocking member 322. In the buffering travel of the unlocking member 322, the locking member 321 remains in the locked position. By arrangement of the buffering travel, it is possible to prevent the unlocking member 322 from being disengaged from the cross bar 23 due to misoperation, thereby improving the safety of the connection between the booster 3 and the backrest assembly 2. When the unlocking member 322 is in the third position, the end of the pivoting recess 3221 of the unlocking member 322 exactly abuts against the driving part 3213 of the locking member 321, and the locking member 321 is in the locked position, and the end of the pivoting recess 3221 may push against the driving part 3213 to drive the locking member 321 to pivot. When the unlocking member 322 pivots from the third position to the second position, the end of the pivoting recess 3221 may push against the driving part 3213 to drive the lock member 321 to pivot from the locked position to the unlocked position. In this embodiment, when the unlocking member 322 is in the first position, the unlocking member 322 is substantially parallel to the upper surface 31a of the booster body 31, that is, the angle between the unlocking member 322 and the upper surface 31a is approximately 0°. When the unlocking member 322 is in the second position, the angle between the unlocking member 322and the upper surface 3 la is approximately 90°. When the unlocking member 322 is in the third position, the angle between the unlocking member 322 and the upper surface 31a is approximately 60°. The buffering travel of the unlocking member 322 allows for the angle between the unlocking member 322 and the upper surface 31a in a range of approximately 0° to 60°. In other embodiments, the angle between the unlocking member 322, when in the first position, the third position or the second position, and the upper surface 31a may also be set to other values, which is not limited herein.
[0148] As shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and 12, in this embodiment, one locking member 321 is provided. The locking member 321 is connected to the pivoting recess 3221 at one of the ends of the unlocking member 322. In other embodiments, two locking members 321 may be provided. The two locking members 321 are connected to the pivoting recesses 3221 at the two ends of the unlocking member 322 respectively by the pin shafts 324. In other embodiments, more than two locking members 321 may be provided according to the shape of the unlocking member 322 and actual needs, and these locking members 321 are pivotally connected to the respective unlocking members 322, which is not limited herein. The unlocking member 322 pushes against the driving part 3213 through the end of the top part 3222, to drive the locking member 321 to pivot in the same direction as the unlocking member 322 (for example, the rotation direction Rl, i.e., the clockwise direction).
[0149] As shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, in another embodiment, the connecting mechanism 32 includes an unlocking member 322, a locking member 321 and an elastic member 323. For the configuration of the locking member 321, reference may be made to the configuration of the locking member 321 in the above embodiment. For the configuration of the elastic member 323, reference may be made to a configuration of a third elastic member 323c in the embodiment as described below, which is not described in detail herein. The unlocking member 322 in this embodiment differs from the unlocking member 322 in the above embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 to 9 mainly in following configurations.
[0150] As shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, in another embodiment, the unlocking member 322 is detachably connected to the locking member 321 in a driven manner, that is, the unlocking member 322 is connected to the locking member 321 in a driven manner, and may be separated from the locking member 321. The unlocking member 322 is pivotally connected to the secondcover part 33e of the cover 33. Specifically, the upper surface 31a of the cover 33 is provided with the concave receiving groove 312. The receiving groove 312 is configured to receive the unlocking member 322. Two ends of the unlocking member 322 are respectively pivotally connected to the sidewalls of the receiving groove 312. The locking member 321 is pivotally connected to a rotating recess 3101 of the booster body 31. The rotating recess 3101 extends through the bottom wall of the jointing recess 3102. Referring to FIG. 28, the lower housing 33b of the cover 33 is provided with a through hole 3105. The through hole 3105 is in communication with the receiving groove 312. At least one of the unlocking member 322 and the locking member 321 may extend through the through hole 3105, so that the unlocking member 322 may drive the locking member 321 to rotate.

The second end 3234 is engaged with the unlocking member 322. The third end 3235 is engaged with the locking member 321. The second end 3234 biases the unlocking member 322 toward the first position, so that the unlocking member 322 pivots toward the first position. The third end 3235 biases the locking member 321 toward the locked position, so that the locking member 321 pivots toward the locked position. In this embodiment, the first elastic member 323a is integrally formed, so as to facilitate the installation of the firstelastic member 323a.
[0153] As shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, in another embodiment, the elastic member 323 includes a second elastic member 323b and a third elastic member 323c. The second elastic member 323b and the third elastic member 323c are, for example, torsion springs. Referring to FIG. 12, the second elastic member 323b and the third elastic member 323c are both sleeved on the pin shaft 324. An end of the second elastic member 323b abuts against the booster body 31, and another end of the second elastic member 323b is engaged with the unlocking member 322. The second elastic member 323b biases the unlocking member 322 toward the first position, so that the unlocking member 322 pivots toward the first position. An end of the third elastic member 323c abuts against the booster body 31, and another end of the third elastic member 323c is engaged with the locking member 321. The third elastic member 323c biases the locking member 321 toward the locked position, so that the locking member 321 pivots toward the locked position. The elastic member 323 in this embodiment includes two independent torsion springs, which has a simple structure and a low cost.
[0154] In other unillustrated embodiments, the elastic member 323 may include only the third elastic member 323c that biases the locking member 321 toward the locked position. In this embodiment, the locking member 321 pivots from the unlocked position to the locked position, and then the unlocking member 322 may be driven to pivot from the second position to the third position. When the unlocking member 322 is in the third position, the unlocking member 322 pivots from the third position to the first position under its own gravity.
[0155] In another embodiment, the elastic member 323 may include only the second elastic member 323b that biases the locking member 321 toward the first position. The unlocking member 322 is provided with a bottom part (not shown) facing the top part 3222. The bottom part is connected between the two side parts 3223. At least a portion of the driving part 3213 of the locking member 321 may extend out of the pivoting recess 3221 from between the top part 3222 and the bottom part. When the unlocking member 322 pivots from the second position to the first position, the bottom part may push against the driving part 3213 to pivot the locking member 321 from the unlocked position to the locked position.
[0156] In an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the rear end 3 Id of the booster body 31 is provided with an engaging groove 319. The engaging groove 319 is in communicationwith the first groove 3111 of the mating groove 311. A wall (e.g., bottom wall) of the engaging groove 319 forms a first engaging inclined surface 3191. The first engaging inclined surface 3191 is disposed obliquely to the upper surface 31a of the booster body 31. The mating rib 22 is provided with the abutting part 223. The abutting part 223 is provided with a second engaging inclined surface 222 configured to be engaged with the first engaging inclined surface 3191. In the present embodiment, the abutting part 223 is disposed on the inner side of the mating rib 22. When the booster 3 is connected to the backrest assembly 2, the abutting part 223 is at least partially received in the engaging groove 319, and the first engaging inclined surface 3191 abuts against the second engaging inclined surface 222 to prevent the movements of the booster 3 relative to the backrest 2 in the first direction DI (i.e., the front-back direction) and in the third direction D3 (i.e., the vertical direction, also referred to as the up-down direction) respectively, thereby locking the booster 3 between the backrest body 21 and the base 9. The third direction D3 is substantially perpendicular to the first direction DI. As shown in FIG. 24, in another embodiment, the inner side and the outer side of the mating rib 22 each are provided with the abutting part 223. In another alternative embodiment, the abutting part 223 may be disposed on the backrest body 21. It can be understood that in other unillustrated embodiments, the rear end 3 Id of the booster body 31 may also be provided with the abutting part 223; the abutting part 223 is provided with the first engaging inclined surface 3191; the backrest body 21 is provided with the engaging groove 319; the engaging groove 319 is provided with the second engaging inclined surface 222 configured to be engaged with the first engaging inclined surface 3191, which in not limited herein.
[0157] In this embodiment, the front end 31c of the booster body 31 is engaged with the cross bar 23 of the backrest assembly 2 by the connecting mechanism 32. The rear end 3 Id of the booster body 31 prevents the movements of the booster 3 in the first direction DI and in the third direction D3 respectively through the cooperation between the first engaging inclined surface 3191 and the second engaging inclined surface 222. Through the engagement of the mating rib 22 and the mating groove 311, the booster 3 is prevented from moving in the direction perpendicular to the first direction DI, namely in the second direction D2, also referred to as the left-right direction or the lateral direction. In this way, the booster 3 may be firmly connected to the backrest assembly 2.
[0158] In this embodiment, when the booster 3 is required to be removed from the backrest assembly 2, refer to FIG. 8, and the unlocking member 322 is rotated in the clockwise direction Rl. When the unlocking member 322 is rotated from the first position to the third position, the end of the U-shaped unlocking member 322 abuts against the driving part 3213 of the locking member 321. When the unlocking member 322 is further rotated from the third position to the second position, the end of the unlocking member 322 pushes against the driving part 3213 to rotate the driving part 3213 clockwise, so that the locking member 321 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position. Referring to FIG. 9, when the unlocking member 322 is rotated to the second position, the locking member 321 is pushed to the unlocked position, and the hook part of the locking member 321 is retracted into the channel 313 from the second groove 3112, and the locking member 321 is disengaged from the cross bar 23. The unlocking member 322 is kept in the second position, and an external force is applied to the booster 3 in the first direction DI to force it to move forward, so that the first engaging inclined surface 3191 of the booster 3 is separated from the second engaging inclined surface 222 (refer to FIG. 7). In this way, the booster 3 may be separated from the backrest assembly 2, and the external force applied to the unlocking member 322 may be removed. The unlocking member 322 is rotated from the second position to the first position under the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 323, and the locking member 321 pivots from the unlocked position to the locked position under the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 323.
[0159] When the booster 3 is required to be installed on the backrest assembly 2, the booster body 31 is pushed in the direction opposite to the first direction DI, so that the first engaging inclined surface 3191 cooperates with the second engaging inclined surface 222. The front end 31c of the booster body 31 is pressed in the direction opposite to the third direction D3, and the upper side surface 231 of the cross bar 23 pushes against the wedge-shaped surface 3212 of the locking member 321, so that the locking member 321 pivots in the clockwise direction. When the cross bar 23 moves relative to the base 3 in the third direction D3 to be separated from the wedge-shaped surface 3212, the locking member 321 pivots in the counterclockwise direction to be engaged with the cross bar 23 under the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 323, thereby installing the booster 3 on the backrest assembly 2.
[0160] In other unillustrated embodiments, the first engaging inclined surface 3191 andthe second engaging inclined surface 222 may be omitted. For example, the connecting mechanisms 32 are disposed at portions of the booster body 31 proximate to the rear end 3 Id and the front end 31c respectively, and the cross bars 23 are disposed at an end of the mating rib 22 adjacent to the backrest body 21 and an end of the mating rib 22 away from the backrest body 21 respectively. The two connecting mechanisms 32 are disposed opposite to each other, that is, the two connecting mechanisms 32 are engaged with the respective cross bars 23 in opposite directions (for example, respectively in the first direction DI and the opposite direction of the first direction DI). In this embodiment, the movements of the booster 3 in the direction parallel to the first direction DI (i.e., in the front-back direction) and in the direction parallel to the third direction D3 (i.e., in the up-down direction) are prevented by the two connecting mechanisms 32 being engaged with the two cross bars 23, respectively, so that the booster 3 is firmly connected to the backrest assembly 2.
[0161] As shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the booster 3 is further provided with a crotch strap hole 37.

The operating part 521 is connected to the second operating member 56. The operating driving part 522 is connected to the engaging mechanism 51 in a driven manner. When the second operating member 56 is operated, the first operating member 521 is driven to move in the seat body 1 by the operating part 521, and the operating driving part 522 of the first operating member 521 drives the engaging mechanism 51 to rotate around the pivot axis X (see FIG. 24) relative to the mating rib 22, so that the engaging mechanism 51 rotates from the locked position to the unlocked position. In this embodiment, the seat body 1 is provided with an operating recess 3103. The operating recess 3103 is located at the front end 31c of the seat body 1 and at the lower surface 31b of the seat body 1. The second operating member 56 is located at the operating recess 3103. In this way, the second operating member 56 may be conveniently operated via the operating recess 3103, and the second operating member 56 may be prevented from interfering with a child sitting in the seat body 1, and may be prevented from being accidentally moved by the child.
[0178] As shown in FIG. 21, the operating reset member 54 is disposed between the first operating member 52 and the seat body 1, and the operating reset member 54 is configured tobias the first operating member 52 to move the first operating member 52 toward the initial position. When the first operating member 52 is in the initial position, the inclination adjusting device 5 is in the locked state, and the engaging mechanism 51 is in the locked position. In this embodiment, the operating reset member 54 is, for example, a compression spring. The operating reset member 54 is located in the seat body 1. An end of the operating reset member 54 abuts against the seat body 1 , and another end of the operating reset member 54 abuts against the first operating member 52. Specifically, the other end of the operating reset member 54 abuts against the operating part 521 of the first operating member 52.
[0179] As shown in FIGS. 22 and 24 to 26, in another embodiment, the engaging mechanism 51 includes an engaging rod 511 and two driving members 512 connected to the engaging rod 511. The two driving members 512 and the engaging rod 511 together form a roughly U-shaped structure. The two driving members 512 are respectively pivotally connected to the mating ribs 22 by connecting pins 501, and specifically, each of the driving members 512 is pivotally connected to the rib housing 227 of the corresponding mating rib 22 by the connecting pin 501. The driving member 512 is roughly L-shaped. The driving member 512 has a first driving end 5121 and a second driving end 5122. The first driving end 5121 extends upward roughly in the vertical direction (i.e., the up-down direction), and the second driving end 5122 extends roughly in the horizontal direction (i.e., the front-back direction). Referring to FIG. 22, the first driving end 5121 is connected to the operating driving part 522 of the first operating member 52 in a driven manner. Specifically, the operating driving part 522 is provided with a driving groove 523. The first driving end 5121 extends through the driving groove 523. An end of the driving groove 523 may push against the first driving end 5121, thereby driving the driving member 512 to rotate around the connecting pin 501 (or, the pivot axis X). Referring to FIGS. 29 and 30, in this embodiment, the operating driving part 522 is located in the seat body 1. The lower surface 3 lb of the seat body 1 is provided with an insertion hole 3 Ibl . The first driving end 5121 extends into the seat body 1 through the insertion hole 31bl and is inserted into the driving groove 523. In other alternative embodiments, the operating driving part 522 of the first operating member 52 may also extend through the insertion hole 3 Ibl and extend to be blow the seat body 1, and the first driving end 5121 is inserted into the driving groove 523 of the first operating member 52.
[0180] Referring to FIGS. 22 and 23, in another embodiment, the driving groove 523 is in an elongated shape and extends in the moving direction of the first operating member 52, so that only when the first operating member 52 (and thus the second operating member 56) moves a certain distance, may the end of the driving groove 523 may push against the first driving end 5121, that is, a certain amount of idle travel is provided for the second operating member 56, thereby preventing the inclination adjusting device 5 from being accidentally switched to the unlocked state due to an accidental touch, and in particular, preventing the inclination adjusting device 5 from being accidentally unlocked due to an accidental touch when a child is sitting on the child safety seat 100, thereby improving the safety of the child safety seat 100. As shown in FIG. 22, in this embodiment, the first driving end 5121 forms a limiting hook part 5124, which is locked with the end of the driving groove 523, thereby preventing the end of the driving groove 523 from being accidentally separated from the first driving end 5121 when the end of the driving groove 523 pushes against the first driving end 5121.
[0181] As shown in FIGS. 22 and 24, the engaging rod 511 extends in a substantially leftright direction (i.e., in a direction perpendicular to the first direction DI). In order to limit the pivoting travel of the engaging mechanism 51, at least one of the mating ribs 22 is provided with a limiting groove 224, and at least one end of the engaging rod 511 is inserted into the limiting groove 224. The limiting groove 224 is, for example, arc-shaped or elongated. The engaging rod 511 is fixedly or movably connected to the driving member 512. In this embodiment, the engaging rod 511 is movably connected to the second driving end 5122 of the driving member 512, and the engaging rod 511 extends through a second connecting hole 5123 disposed on the second driving end 5122 and is inserted into the limiting groove 224 disposed on the rib body 22. The two mating ribs 22 each are provided with the limiting groove 224. The two ends of the engaging rod 511 are inserted into the limiting grooves 224 respectively.
[0182] Continuing to refer to FIGS. 22 and 24, the second connecting hole 5123 is elongated, and the limiting groove 224 is elongated. The extending direction of the second connecting hole 5123 and the extending direction of the limiting groove 224 intersect with each other. Specifically, the extending direction of the second connecting hole 5123 and the extending direction of the limiting groove 224 are approximately at an angle of 90 degrees, the second connecting hole 5123 extends approximately in the front-back direction, and thelimiting groove 224 extends approximately in the up-down direction. In this way, when the driving member 512 is driven to rotate, the engaging rod 511 may be driven to rotate around the pivot axis X. In other embodiments, the limiting groove 224 and the second connecting hole 5123 may also be in other shapes, as long as the engaging rod 511 may rotate around the pivot axis X within the preset travel. Referring to FIG. 24, in this embodiment, the limiting groove 224 is formed on the rib housing 227 of the mating rib 22. Specifically, the limiting groove 224 is formed on the inner housing 227b.
[0183] As shown in FIGS. 22 and 24, in another embodiment, the engaging mechanism 51 further includes an engaging reset member 513. The engaging reset member 513 is disposed between the mating rib 22 and the driving member 512. The engaging reset member 513 is configured to bias the driving member 512, so that the engaging mechanism 51 is rotated toward the locked position. Specifically, the engaging reset member 513 is, for example, a torsion spring. The engaging reset member 513 is sleeved on the connecting pin 501 which is arranged on the mating rib 22. An end of the engaging reset member 513 abuts against the mating rib 22, and another end of the engaging reset member 513 abuts against the driving member 512.
[0184] In the above embodiment, the operating principle of the inclination adjusting device 5 for an angle adjustment is as follows.
[0185] Referring to FIG. 21, when the angle of the seat assembly 10 relative to the base 9 is required to be adjusted, the second operating member 56 is pulled forward in the front-rear direction (i.e., in the first direction DI), and the second operating member 56 drives the first operating member 52 to move forward. When the first operating member 52 moves to a position where the end of the driving groove 523 pushes against the first driving end 5121 of the driving member 512, the end of the driving groove 523 drives the first driving end 5121 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction around the pivot axis X (see FIG. 24), and drives the second driving end 5122 of the driving member 512 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction around the pivot axis X. Since the engaging rod 511 is connected to the second driving end 5122, the second driving end 5122 drives the engaging rod 511 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction around the pivot axis X, that is, the engaging rod 511 moves upward relative to the base 9, so that the engaging rod 511 is separated from the engaging recess 531, that is, the engaging rod511 is disengaged from the engaging recess 531, so that the mating rib 22 may move in the front-back direction relative to the base 9.
[0186] When the seat assembly 10 is adjusted to a desired angle, the second operating member 56 is released, and the operating part 521 is moved backward under the elastic restoring force of the operating reset member 54, and the end of the driving groove 523 of the first operating member 52 does not push against the first driving end 5121 of the driving member 512. The driving member 512 is rotated in the clockwise direction around the pivot axis X under the elastic restoring force of the engaging reset member 513, and drives the second driving end 5122 of the driving member 512 to rotate in the clockwise direction around the pivot axis X. Since the engaging rod 511 is connected to the second driving end 5122, the second driving end 5122 drives the engaging rod 511 to rotate in the clockwise direction around the pivot axis X, that is, the engaging rod 511 moves downward relative to the base 9, so that the engaging rod 511 is engaged with the engaging recess 531, thereby locking the seat assembly 10 at a desired angle. In this way, the angle of the seat assembly 10 relative to the base 9 may be adjusted.
[0187] FIG. 35 is a perspective view of a child safety seat 100 according to yet another embodiment of the present application.
[0188] As shown in FIGS. 35 to 36, in another embodiment, the child safety seat 100 includes the seat assembly 10, the base 9 and the inclination adjusting device 5.

The mating protrusion 981 is slidably connected in the mating recess 225. The mating member 98 includes the rear mating member 98a and the front mating member 98b. The mating recess 225 includes: the rear mating recess 225a that is inserted into and mated with the mating protrusion 981 of the rear mating member 98a; and a front mating recess 225b that is inserted into and mated with the mating protrusion 981 of the front mating member 98b. The front mating recess 225b and the rear mating recess 225a are both located below the rib body 226, that is, the front mating recess 225b and the rear mating recess 225a are located between the rib body 226 and the base 9. The front mating recess 225b is disposed on the inner housing 227b, and the opening of the front mating recess 225b faces the outer housing 227b. The rear mating recess 225a is disposed on the outer housing 227a, and the opening of the rear mating recess 225a faces the inner housing 227b.
[0190] The child safety seat 100 in this embodiment differs from the child safety seat 100 in the above embodiment shown in FIG. 19 in at least following configurations.
[0191] As shown in FIGS. 35 to 37, the inclination adjusting device 5 is connected between the base 9 and the seat assembly 10. At least a portion of the inclination adjusting device 5 is located between the base 9 and the mating rib 22 of the backrest assembly 2. The inclination adjusting device 5 includes the engaging mechanism 51 and the operating assembly 520. The engaging mechanism 51 is connected between the base 9 and the mating rib 22 and may be switched between the locked position and the unlocked position. The operating assembly 520 is connected to the engaging mechanism 51 in a driven manner. The operating assembly 520 may be operated to drive the engaging mechanism 51 to switch from the locked position to the unlocked position. The operating assembly 520 is movably disposed on the seat body 1 (i.e., the booster 3). The engaging mechanism 51 includes the engaging rod 511, the driving member 512 connected to the engaging rod 511, and the fixing member 53 provided with the engaging recess 531. The driving member 512 is pivotally connected to two mating ribs 22 through the connecting pin 501. The engaging rod 511 is disposed on the driving member 512 and may be pivoted along with the driving member 512. Optionally, the driving member 512 is pivotally connected to the two mating ribs 22 by the connecting pin 501;alternatively, the driving member 512 is pivotally connected to the mating ribs 22 on the sides through two connecting pins 501 respectively, and the two connecting pins 501 are coaxially disposed.
[0192] Referring to FIGS. 36 and 37, the driving member 512 is located between the two mating ribs 22. The driving member 512 includes the driving body 5125, the first driving end5121 and the second driving end 5122. The first driving end 5121 and the second driving end5122 are connected to the two ends of the driving body 5125 respectively. Specifically, the first driving end 5121 and the second driving end 5122 are connected to the front and rear ends of the driving body 5125 respectively. The first driving end 5121 extends upward approximately in the vertical direction (i.e., the up-down direction). The second driving end 5122 extends approximately in the front-back direction. In other words, the angle, which is formed between the connecting line connecting the first driving end 5121 and the pivot axis X of the driving member 512, and the connecting line connecting the second driving end 5122 and the pivot axis X, is approximately 90°. Optionally, two first driving end 5121 are provided, and two second driving ends 5122 are provided. In other embodiments, one or more first driving ends 5121 may be provided. Similarly, one or more second driving ends 5122 may be provided. Referring to FIG. 37 again, the two first driving ends 5121 are disposed on the left and right sides of the driving body 5125 respectively, and the two second driving ends 5122 are disposed on the left and right sides of the driving body 5125 respectively. Specifically, the two first driving ends 5121, as well as the two second driving ends 5122, are symmetrically disposed on the left and right sides of the driving body 5125, which allows for more balanced and even forces exerted on the driving member 512. More specifically, in the left-right direction, the first driving end 5121 and the second driving end portion 5122 disposed on the same side of the driving body 5125 are respectively located between the corresponding mating rib 22 and the fixing member 53. The engaging rod 511 is inserted into the two first driving ends 5121. At least one end of the engaging rod 511 may extend out of the first driving end 5121 and is inserted into the limiting groove 224 of the mating rib 22. The engaging rod 511 may rotate relative to the limiting groove 224 along with the driving member 512, and the rotational travel of the engaging rod 511 may be limited by the end of the limiting groove 224 blocking the engaging rod 511.
[0193] The driving body 5125 is roughly plate-shaped. The first driving end 5121 may be integrally formed on the driving body 5125, or fixedly disposed on the driving body 5125 by bonding, welding, etc., or disposed on the driving body 5125 by engagement, etc., and the first driving end 5121 protrudes upward from the driving body 5125. The second driving end 5122 may be integrally formed on the driving body 5125, or fixedly disposed on the driving body 5125 by bonding, welding, etc., or disposed on the driving body 5125 by engagement, etc., and the second driving end 5122 extends backward out of the driving body 5125. The driving body 5125 includes a first driving connection part 51251 and a second driving connection part 51252. The first driving connection part 51251 is connected between the two first driving ends 5121, which may allow for more balanced forces exerted on the driving member 512. The second driving connection part 51252 is closer to the engaging rod 511 than the first driving connection part 51251, and the second driving connection part 51252 is located between the pivot axis X and the engaging rod 511. An operating hole 51253 is formed between the first driving connection part 51251 and the second driving connection part 51252, so that the second driving connection part 51252 may be pulled via the operating hole 51253 to rotate the driving member 512, thereby driving the engaging rod 511 to rotate. In this way, when the seat body 1 (that is, the booster 3) is not installed on the backrest assembly 2, the driving member 512 may also be rotated by operating the second driving connection part 51252, thereby adjusting the angle 9 between the backrest assembly 2 and the base 9. In this embodiment, a gap is formed between the engaging rod 511 and the driving member 512, so that it is more convenient to hold the second driving connection part 51252.
[0194] As shown in FIGS. 49 to 50, the child safety seat 100 is further provided with a seat pad 8. The seat pad 8 may be made of fabric or cloth. The seat pad 8 includes a second pad 81 and a first pad 82. An end of the first pad 82 is connected to the booster 3 or the second pad 81 and serves as a pivoting end 823, to allow the first pad 82 to be turned over between an unfolded position and a folded position. The second pad 81 is provided with an avoidance recess 811. When the second pad 81 is disposed on the booster 3, the avoidance recess 811 faces the cover 33. In this way, the cover 33 may be opened or closed via the avoidance recess 811 without removing the seat pad 8. Specifically, the avoidance recess 811 is roughly U- shaped, and an opening of the avoidance recess 811 faces the backrest body 21. The secondpad 81 is provided with an armrest cover 812. The armrest cover 812 is configured to be sleeved on the second armrest part 34b on the rear side of the first sleeve hole 36, so that the second pad 81 may be easily installed on the booster 3, and the second pad 81 may be prevented from being displaced. In this embodiment, the second pad 81 is provided with a first mating part 833, and the booster 3 is provided with a second mating part 337. The first mating part 833 is configured to be detachably connected to the second mating part 337, so that the second pad 81 is detachably disposed on the booster 3. Optionally, one of the first mating part 833 and the second mating part 337 is, for example, a buckle, a convex column or a hanging buckle, and another of the first mating part 833 and the second mating part 337 is, for example, a button hole or a hanging ring. Alternatively, the first mating part 833 and the second mating part 337 are snaps or Velcro that may engage with each other.
[0195] When the first pad 82 is in the unfolded position, the first pad 82 covers the avoidance recess 811 of the second pad 81 and covers the cover 33. The second pad 81 and the first pad 82 collectively cover the booster 3, so that the booster 3 may provide a relatively soft and comfortable seated surface. When the first pad 82 is in the folded position, the cover 33 is exposed from the avoidance recess 811 to allow the cover 33 to be switched between the opened state and the closed state. By arranging the first pad 82 to be capable of being turned over on the booster 3, the cover 33 may be switched between the opened state and the closed state without removing the seat cloth pad 8, so that the items (such as the connecting strap assembly 7) stored in the storage recess 314 may be more conveniently taken out or used. Referring to FIGS. 49 to 50, the pivoting end of the first pad 82 is connected to the booster body 31 of the booster 3, and the rotation direction of the first pad 82 rotating from the unfolded position to the folded position is the same as the rotation direction of the cover 33 rotating from the closed state to the opened state. Specifically, the pivoting end of the first pad 82 is connected to a position on the booster body 31 proximate to the first side 331. More specifically, the pivoting end is located behind the first side 331, that is, the pivoting end is connected to a position on the booster body 31 between the first side 331 and the backrest body 21. The pivoting end of the first pad 82 defines the pivot axis S of the second pad. Also referring to FIGS. 27 and 28, the pivot axis S of the first pad 82 is located behind the second hole 348 of the armrest part 34. That is, the pivot axis S of the first pad 82 is closer to the backrest body 21 than the secondhole 348. In this way, the first pad 82 may be prevented from interfering with the connecting strap assembly 7 that may extend out of the second holes 348. The opening of the avoidance recess 811 of the second pad 81 faces the pivot axis S. The first pad 82 is further provided with a crotch strap through hole 821. The crotch strap 45 may extend through the crotch strap through hole 821 (see FIG. 19). When the first pad 82 is in the unfolded position, the crotch strap through hole 821 is roughly aligned with the crotch strap hole 37. The number of the crotch strap through holes 821 corresponds to the number of the crotch strap holes 37. Continuing to refer to FIGS. 49 to 50, the first pad 82 is further provided with an adjusting opening 822. The adjusting opening 822 is configured for the user to operate the adjusting mechanism 35. When the first pad 82 is in the unfolded position, the adjusting opening 822 exposes the seatbelt-adjustment unlocking member 352 of the adjusting mechanism 35 to allow the seatbelt-adjustment unlocking member 352 to be operated via the adjusting opening 822.
[0196] The first pad 82 is detachably connected to the second pad 81. The second pad 81 is provided with a first connecting member 831. The first pad 82 is provided with a second connecting member 832. The second connecting member 832 is configured to be detachably connected to the first connecting member 831. Optionally, the first connecting member 831 and the second connecting member 832 are, for example, Velcro that may be bonded to each other. The second connecting member 832 is disposed at an end of the second pad away from the pivoting end 823, and the position of the first connecting member 831 corresponds to the position of the second connecting member 832. Through the mutual cooperation between the first connecting member 831 and the second connecting member 832, the second pad 81 and the first pad 82 may be connected to prevent the second pad 81 from being offset or folded, etc.
[0197] In an unillustrated embodiment, the second pad 81 may be omitted. The pivoting end 823 of the first pad 82 is connected to the booster body 31. The second connecting member 832 is disposed at an end of the first pad 82 away from the pivoting end 823. The first connecting member 831 is correspondingly disposed on the booster body 31. In this way, the first pad 82 may be disposed on the booster body 31 and be turned over, and when the first pad 82 is in the unfolded position, the first pad 82 may be fixed to the booster body 31 through the detachable connection between the first connecting member 831 and the second connecting member 832.
[0198] It should be noted that the seat pad 8 in this embodiment may be applied to the child safety seat 100 in any one of the above embodiments as needed, which is not limited herein.
