[0092] The separator 2 IN may be unfolded or folded to meet different accommodation requirements of the storage basket 200N. In this embodiment, the separator 2 IN may have a first use state shown in FIG. 3 (also called an unfolded state), a second use state shown in FIG. 8 (also called a storage state), and an intermediate state shown in FIG. 9.
[0093] Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, in the first use state, the first connecting piece 21 IN of the separator 21N extends upward from the bottom 201N of the storage basket 200N, dividing the storage space 20N into front and rear sub-storage spaces, namely a first sub-storage space 20aN and a second sub-storage space 20bN. The first sub-storage space 20aN is in front of the second sub-storage space 20bN. The second connecting piece 212N unfolds backward from the top of the first connecting piece 21 IN and completely covers a top opening of the second sub -storage space 20bN. Certainly, in some alternative embodiments, the second connecting piece 212N may not completely cover the top opening of the second sub-storage space 20bN. Moreover, in some alternative embodiments, the second connecting piece 212N may unfold forward from the top of the first connecting piece 21 IN to cover at least part of a top opening of the first sub-storage space 20aN.
[0094] Referring to FIG. 8, in the second use state, the first sub-storage space 20aN and the second sub-storage space 20bN are not separated by the separator 2 IN and are in communication with each other. The separator 2 IN may not cover the top openings of the first sub-storage space 20aN and the second sub-storage space 20bN. That is, when the separator 2 IN in this embodiment is in the second use state, the storage space 20N of the storage basket 200N is not separated by the separator 2 IN, and the top of the storage space 20N is open and not covered by the separator 2 IN. In this embodiment, in the second use state, the separator 2 IN may be folded into a smaller volume and fit the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N.
[0095] Referring to FIG. 9, the separator 2 IN is in the intermediate state between the first use state and the second use state. In the intermediate state, the first connecting piece 21 IN extends upward from the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N to divide the storage space 20N, and the storage space 20N is divided into a first sub-storage space 20aN and a second sub-storage space 20bN by the first connecting piece 21 IN. At least part of the second connecting piece 212N is folded, so that the top opening of the second sub-storage space 20bN is fully or partially opened, which makes it easy to take and place items from the second sub-storage space 20bN.
[0096] The first connecting piece 211N and the second connecting piece 212N may be made of alight-transmitting material or an opaque material as required. In some embodiments, surface fabric of the first connecting piece 21 IN may be made of opaque fabric, and the second connecting piece 212N may be made of light-transmitting mesh. Referring to FIG. 6, a support structure 27N may alternatively be provided in the first connecting piece 2 UN (in FIG. 6, the support structure 27N is blocked by the surface fabric of the first connecting piece 21 IN and shown with a dotted line), so that the first connecting piece 2 UN has certain structural strength. The support structure 27N may be, for example, but is not limited to, a hard support plate matching the shape of the first connecting piece 21 IN. The support plate may be a plastic sheet that can elastically deform when subjected to a force. The second connecting piece 212N may be made of soft fabric (such as light -transmitting mesh), and no hard support plate is provided in the second connecting piece 212N to facilitate folding.
[0097] Although the description is given in the above embodiments based on an example in which one separator 2 IN is provided in the storage basket 200N, it may be understood that two or more separators 2 IN maybe provided in the storage basket 200N. As required, two or more separators 2 IN may divide the storage space 20N of the storage basket 200N into more sub-storage spaces, or by storing at least one separator, at least two adjacent sub-storage spaces are in communication with each other.
[0098] According to the carrier 100 in this embodiment, the separator 2 IN whose state may be changed is provided in the storage basket 200N, and the storage space 20N of the storage basket 200N is divided into at least two sub-storage spaces as required to facilitate classification of different items, or at least part of the at least two sub-storage spaces are communicated to place larger items. In the first use state, the first separator 2 IN may cover part of the top opening of the sub-storage space, so that items placed in the sub-storage space are less likely to fall from the storage basket 200N due to bumps. In some embodiments, at least one sub-storage space may be configured to accommodate a pet, and the at least one sub-storage space includes a sub-storage space with a covered top opening and / or a sub-storage space with an open top opening.
[0099] In this embodiment, the second connecting piece 212N may completely cover the top opening of the second sub-storage space 20bN, so that the second sub-storage space 20bN forms a relatively closed storage space. The second sub-storage space 20bN is adapted to accommodate a pet, which can effectively prevent accidental escaping of the pet from the storage basket 200N. The second connecting piece 212N made of light-transmitting mesh facilitates air circulation in the second substorage space 20bN, and also facilitates the user to observe a state of the pet.
[0100] Referring to FIG. 6 again, part of the edge of the first connecting piece 211N is pivotally connected to the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N. More specifically, the bottom edge 211 INof the first connecting piece 2 UN is fixedly connected to the bottom 201N of the storage basket 200N by, for example, sewing threads. The first connecting piece 21 IN may pivot around the bottom edge 211 IN, so that the first connecting piece 21 IN extends upward relative to the bottom 201N or fits the bottom 20 IN.
[0101] Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, first connecting structures 5 IN are provided between the first connecting piece 21 IN and the storage basket 200N and between the second connecting piece 212N and the storage basket 200N. When the first connecting piece 21 IN and the second connecting piece 212N are connected to the storage basket 200N through the first connecting structure 5 IN, the separator 2 IN may be maintained in the first use state shown in FIG. 4. When the first connecting piece 21 IN and the second connecting piece 212N are not connected to the storage basket 200N through the first connecting structure 5 IN, the separator 2 IN may switch from the first use state to the second use state. The first connecting structure 5 IN may be, but is not limited to, a zipper structure, Velcro, a buckle, or the like. As can be seen, the first connecting structure 5 IN may achieve two states of separation or connection. That is, the first connecting structure 5 IN is a detachably connected structure.
[0102] Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 4, and FIG. 6, an exemplary implementation of the first connecting structure 5 IN is shown. The first connecting piece 21 IN and the second connecting piece 212N are connected to the storage basket 200N through a same zipper structure. The same zipper structure may also be called a common zipper.
[0103] Specifically, referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 21 IN is fixedly connected to the front edge 2121N of the second connecting piece 212N. The top edge 2112N is connected to the front edge 2121N by sewing, for example. The common zipper includes a zipper chain 5 UN, a zipper chain 512N, and a zipper puller 513N.
[0104] The zipper chain 51 IN extends along the edge of the separator 2 IN. Two ends of the zipper chain 5 UN generally correspond to two ends of a bottom edge 21 UN of the first connecting piece 21 IN. Specifically, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, the zipper chain 5 UN extends along a left edge 2113N of the first connecting piece 21 IN, a left edge 2123 of the second connecting piece 212N, a rear edge 2122 of the second connecting piece 212N, a right edge 2124 of the second connecting piece 212N, and a right edge 2114N of the first connecting piece 211N.
[0105] The zipper chain 512N is provided on the top edge of the storage basket 200N and an inner surface of the left enclosure 204N, an inner surface of the right enclosure 205N of the storage basket 200N, and the zipper chain 512N is provided at a position corresponding to the edge of the separator 2 IN in the unfolded state. That is, the first connecting structure 5 IN is provided on the remainingedges of the separator 2 IN except for those fixedly connected to the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N, on the top edge of the storage basket 200N, and on an inner surface of a side portion of the storage basket 200N.
[0106] One or two zipper pullers 513N may be provided. By operating the zipper puller 513N, the zipper chain 5 UN and the zipper chain 512N may be connected or separated. When the zipper chain 51 IN and the zipper chain 512N are connected to each other, the separator 2 IN may be unfolded to the first use state shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. When the zipper chain 511N and the zipper chain 512N are separated from each other, the first connecting piece 211N may pivot towards the bottom 201N of the storage basket 200N until it fits the bottom 201N of the storage basket 200N, and the separator 2 IN switches to the second use state. In the second use state, the second connecting piece 212N may be sandwiched between the first connecting piece 211N and the bottom 201N.
[0107] Referring to FIG. 6, the carrier further includes a first positioning mechanism 26N, and the first positioning mechanism 26N is provided between the separator 2 IN and the storage basket 200N. When the separator 2 IN is in the second use state and fits the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N, the first positioning mechanism 26N is configured to maintain the separator 201 in the second use state. In some embodiments, the first positioning mechanism 26N may include a positioning portion 26 IN and a positioning portion 262N, the positioning portion 26 IN is provided, for example, on the first connecting piece 21 IN, and the positioning portion 262N is provided on the bottom 20 IN. When the separator 2 IN is in the second use state, the positioning portion 26 IN and the positioning portion 262N fit each other to effectively prevent upward flipping of the first connecting piece 21 IN from the bottom 201N. The positioning portion 261N and the positioning portion 262N are, for example, Velcro, magnetic members, buckles, or the like that fit each other.
[0108] Referring to FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the bottom 201N of the storage basket 200N may be provided with a pocket structure 220N. The separator 2 IN in the second use state may be received in the pocket structure 220N, and the separator 2 IN fits the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N. When the separator 2 IN is received in the pocket structure 220N, the storage basket 200N is in the state shown in FIG. 8, and the separator 2 IN is hidden in the pocket structure 220N and is hardly exposed. When the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N is provided with the pocket structure 220N, the pocket structure 220N may serve as the above first positioning mechanism to replace the above two positioning portions.
[0109] It is to be noted that, in some alternative embodiments, the storage basket 200N may have the positioning portion 26 IN, the positioning portion 262N, and the pocket structure 220N above at the same time. When the separator 2 IN in the second use state is received in the pocket structure220N, the positioning portion 26 IN and the positioning portion 262N fit each other. Magnetic members may be selected as the positioning portion 26 IN and the positioning portion 262N.
[0110] In the above embodiments, when the separator 2 IN in the first use state, the separator 2 IN is fixedly connected to the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N through the bottom edge 211 IN of the first connecting piece 21 IN, and other edges of the separator 2 IN are connected to the storage basket 200N through a common zipper. In some alternative embodiments, the separator 2 IN may be connected to the storage basket 200N in other manners.
[0111] For example, in some alternative embodiments, the bottom edge 21 UN of the first connecting piece 211N is not connected to the bottom 20 IN. When the first connecting piece 21 IN and the second connecting piece 212N are connected to the storage basket 200N through the above common zipper, the separator 2 IN is also in the first use state and divides the storage space 20N into a plurality of sub-storage spaces with bottoms in communication with each other. When the zipper chain 51 IN and the zipper chain 512N are completely separated, the separator 2 IN may be completely removed from the storage basket 200N and then may be stored in any suitable place including the bottom 20 IN.
[0112] In some alternative embodiments, the bottom edge 21 UN of the first connecting piece 21 IN may be, for example, detachably connected to the bottom 20 IN through Velcro, buckles, or the like. Other edges of the separator 2 IN may be connected to the storage basket 200N through the above common zipper.
[0113] In some alternative embodiments, the zipper chain 51 IN of the above common zipper also extends to the bottom edge 21 UN of the first connecting piece 21 IN. The zipper chain 512N accordingly extends to the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N, corresponding to the zipper chain 5 UN on the bottom edge 21 UN of the first connecting piece 2 UN. The bottom edge 21 UN of the first connecting piece 21 IN is connected to the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N through the common zipper, so that there is no need to sew the first connecting piece 2 UN to the bottom of the storage basket 200N. When the zipper chain 511N and the zipper chain 512N are completely separated, the separator 2 IN may be detached from the storage basket 200N. The detached separator 2 IN may be placed in the pocket structure 220N or in other suitable structures.
[0114] In some alternative embodiments, the first connecting piece 2 UN and the second connecting piece 212N may be connected to the storage basket 200N through a plurality of zipper structures that are unrelated to each other. For example, the left edge 2113N of the first connecting piece 211N is connected to the storage basket 200N through a first zipper structure. The right edge 2114N of the first connecting piece 21 IN is connected to the storage basket 200N through a secondzipper structure. The left edge 2123, the right edge 2124, and the rear edge 2122 of the second connecting piece 212N are connected to the storage basket 200N through a third zipper structure. In some alternative embodiments, the front edge 2121 of the second connecting piece 212N and the top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 21 IN may be detachably connected through a structure such as a zipper structure or a buckle.
[0115] It is to be noted that in this embodiment, the description is based on an example in which the bottom edge 2112 of the first connecting piece 211N is fixedly connected to the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N. When the separator 21N is in the second use state, the separator 21N fits the bottom 20 IN. In some alternative embodiments, the left edge 2113N of the first connecting piece 21 IN may be fixedly connected to the left enclosure 204N of the storage basket 200N. When the separator 2 IN is in the second use state, the separator 2 IN may fit the left enclosure 204N. Alternatively, the right edge 2114N of the first connecting piece 21 IN may be fixedly connected to the right enclosure 205N of the storage basket 200N. When the separator 2 IN is in the second use state, the separator 2 IN may fit the right enclosure 205N. The left enclosure 204N or the right enclosure 205N of the storage basket 200N may be provided with a pocket structure configured to receive the separator 21N. In some alternative embodiments, when the separator 21N is in the first use state, the left edge 2113N or the right edge 2114N of the first connecting piece 21 IN may not be connected to the storage basket 200N or may be detachably connected to the storage basket 200N, and other edges of the separator 2 IN is connected to the storage basket 200N through the first connecting structure 5 IN, which also falls within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0116] Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 8 again, a leak hole 23N is provided at the bottom 201N of the storage basket 200N corresponding to the second sub-storage space 20bN, and sediment deposited in the second sub-storage space 20bN may be discharged through the leak hole 23N. The second substorage space 20bN may also be provided with a fixed ring 24N. The fixed ring 24N may be connected to a snap ring on a pet vest or a pet collar. Specifically, two fixed rings 24N may be provided, the two fixed rings 24N are provided on the left enclosure 204N and the right enclosure 205N, and the two fixed rings 24N are arranged diagonally, for example. When the top opening of the second sub-storage space 20bN is open, the connection between the fixed ring 24N and the pet vest can prevent accidental escaping of the pet from the second sub-storage space 20bN. In some alternative embodiments, the leak hole 23N and the fixed ring 24N may be arranged in any sub -storage space as required.
[0117] In some embodiments, the leak hole 23N may be made of a metal ring. When the positioning portion 26 IN is made of a magnetic body, the metal ring may serve as the above positioning portion 262N and be adsorbed by the positioning portion 26 IN.
[0118] Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the separator 21N is in the intermediate state, and the second connecting piece 212N in the folded state is divided into a first part 2120 IN and a second part 21202N. The first part 2120 IN still covers the top opening of the corresponding sub-storage space (more specifically, the second sub-storage space 20bN), and the second part 21202N is folded relative to the first part 2120 IN to open the top opening of the second sub-storage space 20bN.
[0119] Referring to FIG. 10, the carrier 1000N may further include a second positioning mechanism 28N. The second positioning mechanism 28N is configured to maintain the second connecting piece 212N in the folded state. The second positioning mechanism 28N includes, for example, a first fixed portion and a second fixed portion that are not shown, the first fixed portion may be provided on the second part 21202N, and the second fixed portion may be provided on the first part 21201N or the first connecting piece 21 IN. Specifically, the first fixed portion and the second fixed portion are provided at front and rear ends of the second connecting piece 212N. When the second connecting piece 212N is not folded, a front end of the second connecting piece 212N is located at a front end of the first part 2120 IN, and a rear end of the second connecting piece 212N is located at a rear end of the second part 21202N. Alternatively, the first fixed portion is provided at the rear end of the second connecting piece 212N (that is, an end of the second connecting piece 212N away from the first connecting piece 211N in a front -rear direction), and the second fixed portion is provided at an upper end of the first connecting piece 21 IN close to the second connecting piece 212N. When the second connecting piece 212N is in the folded state, the first fixed portion and the second fixed portion fit each other, and the second connecting piece 212N is stably in the folded state.
[0120] In some alternative embodiments, the separator 2 IN may have multiple intermediate states according to different folded states of the second connecting piece 212N. In some embodiments, when in different folded states, the second connecting piece 212N may be positioned by the second positioning mechanism 28N.
[0121] Second embodiment
[0122] FIG. 11 to FIG. 15 are partial perspective views of a carrier 1000N according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. The separators 21N in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are in a first use state (also called an unfolded state). The separators 21N in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 are in an intermediate state. The separator 2 IN in FIG. 15 is in a second use state (also called a storage state). If there is no conflict, the structure of the carrier 1000N may be obtained with reference to the description in the first embodiment. Differences between the second embodiment and the above first embodiment are mainly described below.
[0123] In this embodiment, the top edge of the left enclosure 204N and the top edge of the rightenclosure 205N of the storage basket 200N extend generally horizontally in the front-rear direction, for example. Certainly, the left enclosure 204N and the right enclosure 205N may alternatively have upwardly protruding angular protrusions as described in the first embodiment. The left enclosure 204N may be connected to the left rod member 111N and the left rod member 121N, and the right enclosure 205N may be connected to the right rod member 11 IN and the right rod member 121N.
[0124] Referring to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the separator 2 IN includes a first connecting piece 21 IN and a second connecting piece 212N, and the first connecting piece 211N is pivotally connected to the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N and the left enclosure 204N and the right enclosure 205N on left and right sides. The second connecting piece 212N is connected to the first connecting piece 21 IN through the second connecting structure 52N. The first connecting piece 211N extends upward from the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N, dividing the storage basket 200N into front and rear sub-storage spaces, namely a first sub-storage space 20aN and a second sub-storage space 20bN. The first connecting piece 211N arched towards a first direction. In this embodiment, the first connecting piece 21 IN is more specifically arched forward. Correspondingly, the top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 2 UN is in an arc shape that is arched forward. Positions where two end portions of the top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 21 IN are connected to the storage basket 200N are, for example, close to the rod member 12 IN. More specifically, the position where the left rear end of the top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 21 IN is connected to the storage basket 200N is located above the fastener 204 IN (see FIG. 14) connecting the left enclosure 204N to the left rod member 12 IN, and the position where the right rear end of the top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 21 IN is connected to the storage basket 200N is located above a fastener (not shown FIG. 14, and opposite to the fastener 204 IN) connecting the right enclosure 205N to the right rod member 121N. In this way, when the first connecting piece 21 IN pivots backward relative to the storage basket 200N, the fastener below the top edge 2112N and connected to the rod member 121N may limit two rear ends of the top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 2 UN. Certainly, in some alternative embodiments, the first connecting piece 211N may be arched backward, and positions where two front ends of the top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 21 IN are connected to the storage basket 200N are, for example, close to the rod member 11 IN.
[0125] A support structure 27N is provided in the first connecting piece 21 IN. The support structure 27N elastically deforms to maintain the first connecting piece 21 IN in a forward arched shape. The support structure 27 includes, for example, a support plate 271N (see FIG. 14). A shape of the support plate 27 IN matches, for example, a shape of the first connecting piece 21 IN. The support plate 27 IN may be, for example, a hard plastic sheet that can elastically deform whensubjected to a force.
[0126] The second connecting piece 212N is unfolded by a connection with the arc-shaped top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 21 IN to cover part of the top opening of the second substorage space 20bN. In this embodiment, the unfolded second connecting piece 212N extends backward from the arc-shaped top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 21 IN. Certainly, in some alternative embodiments, the unfolded second connecting piece 212N may extend forward from the arc-shaped top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 21 IN. The second connecting piece 212N may be made of soft fabric (such as light-transmitting mesh), and no hard support plate is provided in the second connecting piece 212N to facilitate folding.
[0127] Referring to FIG. 12, when the separator 2 IN is in the first use state, the unfolded second connecting piece 212N does not completely cover the top opening of the second sub-storage space 20bN. The user may easily take and place items from the second sub-storage space 20bN. When the pet is in the second sub-storage space 20bN, the uncovered top opening of the second sub-storage space 20bN allows the head of the pet to extend.
[0128] Referring to FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, when there is a need to switch the separator 21N from the first use state to the second use state, at least part of the top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 21 IN is disconnected from the second connecting piece 212N. The first connecting piece 21 IN is deformed by a force to arch towards the second direction (more specifically, backward) and pivot along a second direction. The first connecting piece 2 UN may independently or drive the second connecting piece 212N to pivot along the second direction to fit the bottom 201N of the storage basket 200N to reach the second use state shown in FIG. 15, so that a first sub-accommodation space 20a and a second sub-accommodation space 20b are communicated with each other.
[0129] Still referring to FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, an intermediate state of the separator 21N is shown. The intermediate state is between the first use state and the second use state. As described above, in the intermediate state, the first connecting piece 21 IN extends upward from the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N to divide the storage space 20N, and the storage space 20N is divided into a first sub-storage space 20aN and a second sub-storage space 20bN by the first connecting piece 21 IN. At least part of the top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 21 IN is disconnected from the second connecting piece 212N, and the second connecting piece 212N cannot be fully unfolded. In some embodiments, when the separator 2 IN is in the intermediate state, the second connecting piece 212N may be removed from the first connecting piece 21 IN.
[0130] Referring to FIG. 12 again, the top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 21 IN and the second connecting piece 212N are connected through the second connecting structure 52N, forexample, detachably connected. The second connecting structure 52N may be, but is not limited to, a zipper structure. The second connecting structure 52N may include a zipper chain 52 IN, a zipper chain 522N, and a zipper puller 523N. The zipper chain 521N extends along the top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 21 IN, and the zipper chain 522N is provided on the second connecting piece 212N. One or two zipper pullers 523N may be provided. By operating the zipper puller 523N, the zipper chain 52 IN and the zipper chain 522N may be connected or separated.
[0131] It is to be noted that, in some alternative embodiments, the separator 2 IN may include the first connecting piece 21 IN but is not provided with the second connecting piece 212N described in this embodiment. When the separator 2 IN is not provided with the second connecting piece 212N, the top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 21 IN may omit the second connecting structure 52N. More specifically, the zipper chain 52 IN is omitted. This also falls within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0132] Third embodiment
[0133] FIG. 16 to FIG. 18 are partial perspective views of a carrier 1000N according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure. The separator 2 IN in FIG. 16 is in a first use state. The separators 2 IN in FIG. 17 is in an intermediate state. The separator 2 IN in FIG. 18 is in a second use state. If there is no conflict, the structure of the carrier 1000N may be obtained with reference to the description in the second embodiment. Differences between the third embodiment and the above second embodiment are mainly described below.
[0134] The support structure 27N in the first connecting piece 211N is modified in the third embodiment. The support structure 27N may include a first support bar 273N and a second support bar 272. The second support bar 272 is located in an intermediate region of the first connecting piece 21 IN and extends from the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N to the top edge 2111 of the first connecting piece 2 UN. Specifically, the second support bar 272 has, for example, an inverted U- shaped structure. Two ends of the second support bar 272 are placed on the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N, and the middle of the second support bar 272 is arched towards the top edge 2111 of the first connecting piece 21 IN. The first support bar 273N extends along the top edge 2111 of the first connecting piece 21 IN. The arc shape of the top edge 2111 is supported by the first support bar 273N. In some embodiments, elasticity of the first support bar 273N is greater than that of the second support bar 272, so that the second support bar 272 can elastically deform correspondingly with an elastic deformation direction of the first support bar 273N. When the separator 2 IN is required to change between the first use state and the second use state, the first support bar 273N and the second support bar 272 are deformed due to a force, an orientation of the top edge 2111 is changed,and a position of the first connecting piece 2 UN is changed.
[0135] In some embodiments, an inverted U-shaped channel may be provided inside the first connecting piece 21 IN, and the second support bar 272 is provided in the channel and forms an inverted U shape under constraints of the channel.
[0136] It is to be noted that, in some alternative embodiments, the separator 2 IN may include the first connecting piece 2 UN but is not provided with the second connecting piece 212N described in this embodiment. When the separator 2 IN is not provided with the second connecting piece 212N, the top edge 2112N of the first connecting piece 21 IN may omit the second connecting structure 52N. More specifically, the zipper chain 52 IN is omitted. This also falls within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0137] Fourth embodiment
[0138] FIG. 19 and FIG. 20 are partial perspective views of a carrier 1000N according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. The carrier 1000N includes a frame 100N and a storage basket 200N. If there is no conflict, the frame 100N and the storage basket 200N may be obtained with reference to the description in the above embodiments. Differences between the fourth embodiment and the above embodiments are mainly described below.
[0139] The storage basket 200N in the fourth embodiment includes a receiving box 29N, and the receiving box 29N serves as a separator. When the receiving box 29N is received in the storage basket 200N, the storage space 20N of the storage basket 200N may be divided into at least two sub-storage spaces. The sub-storage spaces include, for example, sub-storage spaces located in front and / or behind a receiving cavity 29, and sub-storage spaces formed by an internal space of the receiving box 29N.
[0140] Referring to FIG. 21 and FIG. 22, the receiving box 29N may be removed from the storage basket 200N. The receiving box 29N may be provided with a handle 2905N. The receiving box 29N may be, but is not limited to, a pet box. The receiving box 29N includes an openable or closeable opening 2901N. When the receiving box 29N is in the first use state, the opening 2901N is closed, and the storage space 20N of the storage basket 200N is divided into a sub-storage space 20cN located in front and / or behind the receiving cavity 29, and a sub-storage space formed by the internal space of the receiving box 29N. When the receiving box is in the second use state, the opening 290 IN is opened, the internal space of the receiving box 29N is connected to the sub -storage space 20cN of the storage basket 200N, and the user may easily take and place objects from the opening 2901N. In some embodiments, an edge of the opening 290 IN and a cover 2902N configured to close the opening 290 IN may be connected by a zipper structure 2903.
[0141] FIG. 21 and FIG. 22 show an exemplary structure of the receiving box 29N. The receivingbox 29N includes, for example, a front side surface 29 IN, a rear side surface 292N (see FIG. 20), a top surface 293N, a bottom surface 294N, a left side surface 295N, and a right side surface 296N. In some embodiments, the left side surface 295N, the bottom side surface 294N, and the right side surface 296N of the receiving box 29N may be supported by a U-shaped hard plate. Under the support of the hard plate, the receiving box 29N may maintain a box shape. In some embodiments, the hard plate may be a plastic sheet with a certain amount of elastic deformation. At least one of the front side surface 29 IN and the rear side surface 292N of the receiving box 29N may be provided with an opening 290 IN.
[0142] Referring to FIG. 19 to FIG. 22, the receiving box 29N may be detachably connected to the frame 100N through a third positioning mechanism 53N. The third positioning mechanism 53N may prevent accidental falling of the receiving box 29N from the storage basket 200N. The third positioning mechanism 53N may include, for example, a connecting strap 53 IN. The connecting strap 53 IN may be tied to the frame 100N, for example, to the rod member 121N of the frame 100N. Certainly, the third positioning mechanism 53N may alternatively have other implementations, and is not limited to the connecting strap.
[0143] In some embodiments, the third positioning mechanism 53N may also include a positioning portion 532N provided on the connecting strap 53 IN. The positioning portion 532N may be, but is not limited to, Velcro, snap-fasteners, magnetic buckles, and other structures. Under the action of the positioning portion 532N, the connecting strap 53 IN forms an annular structure detachably sleeving the rod member 12 IN of the frame 100N.
[0144] Fifth embodiment
[0145] FIG. 23 is a partial perspective view of a carrier 1000N according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure. If there is no conflict, the structure of the carrier 1000N may be obtained with reference to the description in the above fourth embodiment. Differences between the fifth embodiment and the above fourth embodiment are mainly described below.
[0146] The structure of the receiving box 29N is modified in this embodiment. Referring to FIG. 24, the receiving box 29N may be folded into a smaller volume in a height direction. Specifically, an external force is first applied to the receiving box 29N so that the left side surface 295N and the right side surface 296N of the receiving box 29N that are opposite to each other may be folded in half towards the inside of the receiving box 29N, and after being folded in half, the left side surface 295N and the right side surface 296N may be arranged roughly parallel to the top surface 293N and the bottom surface 294N, so that the left side surface 295N and the right side surface 296N are sandwiched between the top surface 293N and the bottom surface 294N, so as to fold the receivingbox 29N into a flat shape. The receiving box 29N folded into a flat shape may be placed directly on the bottom 20 IN of the storage basket 200N, reducing a space of the storage basket 200N occupied by the receiving box 29N. In this case, the sub-storage spaces located in front and / or behind the receiving cavity 29 are communicated with each other, the third positioning mechanism 53N (see below) of the receiving box 29N is not connected to the frame 100N, and the receiving box 29N is in the second use state. The second use state in the fifth embodiment is different from the second use state in the fourth embodiment. Referring to FIG. 25 and FIG. 26, the opening 290 IN of the receiving box 29N may be formed, for example, on at least one of the front side surface 29 IN, the top surface 293N, and the rear side surface 292N of the receiving box 29N. Correspondingly, the fabric forming the front side surface 29 IN, the top surface 293N, and the rear side surface 292N of the receiving box 29N may serve as a cover configured to cover the opening 290 IN. More specifically, the cover covers the opening 290 IN of the receiving box 29N through the zipper structure 2903, and the zipper structure 2903 may restrict the folding of the left side surface 295N and the right side surface 296N to some extent. In this case, the receiving box 29N may be unfolded into a box structure. The left side surface 295N, the right side surface 296N, the front side surface 29 IN, and the rear side surface 292N of the receiving box 29N are at least partially light-transmitting.
[0147] Referring to FIG. 23 again, when the receiving box 29N is placed in the storage basket 200N, to prevent the folding of the receiving box 29N, the receiving box 29N may be connected to the frame 100N through the third positioning mechanism 53N and be unfolded. In some embodiments, a position where the receiving box 29N is connected to the frame 100N through the third positioning mechanism 53N is close to the pivot joint 15N. In some embodiments, the receiving box 29N is connected to the handle frame 16N through the third positioning mechanism 53N. In some embodiments, the receiving box 29N is connected to the rod member 11 IN of the front support frame 1 IN or the rod member 121N of the rear support frame 12N through the third positioning mechanism 53N.
[0148] FIG. 27 is a rear perspective view of a wheeled mobile apparatus IM according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the storage basket 100M is in a first state of a use mode. In the present disclosure, the wheeled mobile apparatus IM is shown by taking a child carrier IM or a stroller IM as an example. However, it should be understood that the wheeled mobile apparatus IM in the present disclosure may alternatively be a pet cart, a shopping cart, trolley, or the like.
[0149] The wheeled mobile apparatus IM includes a frame 200M and wheels 400M provided below the frame 200M. The frame 200M includes a front leg 220M in the front and a rear leg 210Min the rear in a forward direction of the wheeled mobile apparatus IM, as well as a handlebar 23 OM for the user to push. The front leg 220M, the rear leg 210M, and the handlebar 23 OM are connected to each other and schematically form a seat mounting portion 300M.
[0150] The wheels 400M are respectively connected to the front leg 220M and the rear leg 210M of the frame 200M through, for example, wheel bases 410 and can rotate relative to the frame 200M. According to this embodiment, the front leg 220M is provided with one wheel 400M, and the rear leg 210M is provided with two wheels 400M. Alternatively, two wheels 400M may also be provided on the front leg 220M, for example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0151] According to this embodiment, under the seat installation portion 300M, a storage basket 100M or a vegetable basket 100M is provided between the front leg 220M and the rear leg 210M, configured to store items, vegetables and fruits, and the like. The storage basket 100M includes a basket bottom 110M and a basket wall 120M surrounding the basket bottom 110M to jointly form a storage space. The basket bottom 110M and the basket wall 120M may be integrally formed or combined in separate pieces.
[0152] According to this embodiment, the basket bottom 110M is constructed in one piece as a sheet support extending between the rear leg 210M and the front leg 220M, and is configured to carry items placed in the storage basket 1 OOM. The sheet support may be made of a hard flexible material or be made of, for example, a hard plate covered with fabric. According to this embodiment, a front end HIM of the basket bottom 110M is fixedly connected to a front crossbar 221M on a lower side of the front leg 220M, and a rear end 112M is fixedly connected to a rear crossbar 21 IM of the rear leg 210M. The rear crossbar 21 IM is arranged between two pins of the rear leg 210M and is configured to stabilize the frame 200M. The rear crossbar 21 IM is, for example, a cylinder, or may be in other shapes. The one-piece basket bottom 110M may provide better load-bearing strength, preventing undesired separation at seams. In addition, the basket bottom 110M may be formed by multiple pieces, for example, by joining multiple sheets, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0153] The basket wall 120M is connected to a periphery of the basket bottom 110M on the lower side to define an accommodating region to accommodate items. The basket wall 120M may be made of a flexible material, such as fabric or plastic. According to the present disclosure, the basket wall 120M is advantageously configured as a mesh pocket 120M to facilitate folding and user observation. To facilitate perspective understanding, the basket wall 120M of the present disclosure is shown by taking transparent plastic cloth as an example.
[0154] According to this embodiment, the basket wall 120M includes a front wall 122M, a rearwall 123M, and side walls 124M. The side walls 124M of the basket wall 120M are arranged vertically and are respectively located inside the two pins of the rear leg 210M, the front wall 122M extends forward from the side wall 124M to a connecting portion between the basket bottom 110M and the front crossbar 22 IM, and the rear wall 123M forms an obtuse angle with the basket bottom 110M, thereby extending towards the user standing behind to form a larger opening and thus making it easier to put in items. Advantageously, the front wall 122M and the rear wall 123M may be formed by smooth transition from the side wall 124M, thereby eliminating an abrupt joint and facilitating folding. According to this embodiment, the storage basket 100M forms a trapezoid-like shape with a large upper side and a small lower side, forming a larger opening to facilitate taking and placing of items and expanding a volume of the storage basket 100M on a more stable basis.
[0155] A support rod 121M is connected to the rear leg 210M of the frame 200M. An upper edge of the basket wall 120M in the form of plastic cloth is fixed around the support rod 12 IM, which, for example, may be engaged around the support rod 121M in an appropriate manner or around the support rod 12 IM in other forms, for example, the support rod 121M may be inserted into a receiving portion formed along the upper edge of the basket wall 120M.
[0156] According to this embodiment, the rear leg 210M of the frame 200M intersect obliquely with the upper edge of the basket wall 120M, so the rear leg 210M divides the upper edge of the basket wall 120M into a front portion and a rear portion. The front portion is between the front leg 220M and the rear leg 210M, and the rear portion extends towards the user from the rear leg 210M. The support rod 12 IM is arranged along an upper edge of the rear portion, and a free end of the support rod 12 IM is plugged into a movable base 212M provided on an inner side of the rear leg 210M. For example, the movable base 212M may rotate relative to the rear leg 210M, thereby realizing downward rotation of the support rod 121M (see FIG. 33 and FIG. 34). It is to be noted the movable base 212M should be shielded by the separator 130M in FIG. 27 and subsequent corresponding figures, but for ease of elaboration understanding, the movable base 212M is retained shown in these figures.
[0157] Alternatively, the support rod 121M may be provided along the entire upper edge of the basket wall 120M to improve accommodation strength of the basket wall 120M. For example, additionally, a rear support rod 12 IM is provided on the upper edge of the rear portion, and a front support rod is provided on an upper edge of the front portion, thereby enhancing strength of the front portion of the basket wall 120M. The rear support rod 12 IM and the front support rod may be connected to each other by using, for example, the above movable base 212M.
[0158] According to the present disclosure, a separator 130M is provided inside the storage basket100M. Advantageously, the separator 130M vertically divides the interior of the storage basket 100M, that is, the storage space, into a plurality of accommodating regions, such as a first accommodating region 140M and a second accommodating region 150M. In this case, the separator 130M is inserted into the bottom wall 110M at an angle of 90 degrees. The separator 130M is configured to be foldable, which is folded to cover or release the first accommodating region MOM or the second accommodating region 150M. The separator 130M may be made in one piece or joined in multiple pieces.
[0159] According to this embodiment, the separator 130M includes a first separation portion 13 IM and a second separation portion 132M, and the second separation portion 132M is connected to the first separation portion 13 IM through a separation connecting portion 134M and is rotatable and foldable relative to the first separation portion 13 IM. The first separation portion 13 IM and the second separation portion 132M may be made of, for example, a rectangular sheet, such as flexible foam, and be connected to each other. Preferably, the first separation portion 13 IM and the second separation portion 132M may be respectively provided with, for example, a fabric cover, and the two fabric covers may be joined to each other, for example, by sewing, zipper connection, button connection, or the like. Alternatively, the first separation portion 13 IM and the second separation portion 132M may be inserted into one fabric cover, and in the middle of a length direction of the fabric cover, a separation connecting portion 134M in the form of a sewing line, an adhesive portion, or the like is provided between the first separation portion 13 IM and the second separation portion 132M.
[0160] According to the present disclosure, a shape of the first separation portion 13 IM matches an inner cross-sectional contour of the storage basket 100M. The inner cross-sectional contour of the storage basket 100M may be in a shape of a rectangle, a square, trapezoid, or the like, and the first separation portion 13 IM may be in a shape of a rectangle, a square, a trapezoid, or the like correspondingly.
[0161] According to this embodiment, the first separation portion 13 IM in the shape of a rectangle is inserted into the storage basket 100M, so that the first separation portion 13 IM divides an internal space of the storage basket 100M into a first accommodating region MOM or a second accommodating region 150M. According to an embodiment, the first separation portion 13 IM in the shape of a rectangle is inserted into the storage basket 100M almost perpendicularly to the basket bottom 110M, a height of the rectangle corresponds to a height of the basket wall 120M, and a length of the rectangle corresponds to a width of the basket bottom 110M.
[0162] In this case, the lower side of the first separation portion 13 IM may be detachably or non-detachably connected to the basket bottom 110M through a basket bottom connecting portion 133M. The basket bottom connecting portion 133M may be configured as a zipper, button connection, snap connection, sewing connection, or the like. Therefore, the first separation portion 13 IM can rotate relative to the basket bottom 110M around the basket bottom connecting portion 133M. Preferably, an upper side of the first separation portion 13 IM is at a position of the separation connecting portion 134M where the rear leg 210M intersects with an upper edge of the side wall 124M. The position roughly corresponds to the position of the movable base 212M provided on the inner side of the rear leg 210M. The upper side of the first separation portion 13 IM is close to the position of the movable base 212M on the inner side of the rear leg 210M, which can support the upper side of the first separation portion 13 IM laterally and from front and rear support with a joint 135M between the second separation portion 132M and the basket wall 120M. In addition, it is convenient to connect the second separation portion 132M at the separation connecting portion 134M to form a stable folding effect. A lower side of the first separation portion 13 IM is connected to the basket bottom 110M roughly at a lower side of a projection of the movable base 212M, so that the second separation portion 132M connected to the upper side of the first separation portion 13 IM can rotate from the position to the first accommodating region MOM or the second accommodating region 150M and cover the first accommodating region MOM or the second accommodating region 150M, to prevent falling out of the items or protect the items. Advantageously, a size and a shape of the second separation portion 132M match a size and a shape of an opening of the second accommodating region 150M closer to the user, so that the opening of the second accommodating region 150M can be better covered. In addition, a joint 135M is provided at an upper part of the second accommodating region 150M defined by the second separation portion 132M and the basket wall 120M. The joint 135M may be, for example, a zipper, a fastener, a button, Velcro, or the like. For example, a female end of a zipper may be provided on the upper side of the basket wall 120M supported by the support rod 121 M, and a male end of the zipper is provided on a side edge of the second separation portion 132M, or vice versa, so that the second accommodating region 150M can be closed conveniently.
[0163] Alternatively, the separator MOM may be made of a bendable material in one piece. The bendable material may bend between 0 and 180 degrees. For example, in the case of bending at, for example, 90 degrees, one part of the bendable material functions as the first separation portion 13 IM, dividing the interior of the storage basket 100M into the first accommodating region MOM and the second accommodating region 150M. The other part may function as the second separation portion 132M to cover the first accommodating regionMOM or the second accommodating region 150M.
[0164] Alternatively, the separator MOM may be made in one piece from more than two sheets.For example, three separation portions may be connected at the position of the separation connecting portion 134M, so that the first accommodating region MOM and the second accommodating region 150M can be closed at the same time, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0165] FIG. 28 is a side perspective view of a wheeled mobile apparatus IM according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the storage basket 100M is in the first state of the use mode. As can be seen from FIG. 28, the front end HIM of the basket bottom 110M is bent and lifted upward from a direction substantially parallel to the ground, and is fixedly connected to the front crossbar 221 M of the front leg 220M, and the rear end 112M is fixedly connected to the rear crossbar 21 IM of the rear leg 210M, so that the entire basket bottom 110M is supported by the front crossbar 221M and the rear crossbar 21 IM and provides support to bear weights of the items.
[0166] According to this embodiment, the side walls 124M of the basket wall 120M are vertically located on inner sides of the two legs of the rear legs 210M, the front wall 122M smoothly extends forward from the side walls 124M to the front of the basket bottom 110M, and the rear wall 123M smoothly extends backward from the side wall 124M and forms an obtuse angle with the basket bottom HOM. As can be better seen from this view, the storage basket 100M has a trapezoid-like shape with a large upper side and a small lower side.
[0167] The second separation portion 132M is folded back close to the movable base 212M relative to the first separation portion 13 IM, thereby covering the opening of the second accommodating region 150M. After the second separation portion 132M covers the second accommodating region 150M, the user may use the joint 135M in the form of a zipper to join the second separation portion 132M with the upper side of the basket wall 120M, thereby closing the second accommodating region 150M.
[0168] The first separation portion 13 IM extends vertically to the basket bottom HOM, and is connected to the basket bottom 110M by using the basket bottom connecting portion 133M. For example, the first separation portion 13 IM may be perpendicular to the basket bottom 110M. Alternatively, the first separation portion 13 IM may not be perpendicular to the basket bottom 110M, but may be inclined with the basket bottom HOM to flexibly divide the first accommodating region MOM and the second accommodating region 150M. Alternatively, the first separation portion 13 IM may also be lifted up, for example, 90 degrees from the position shown in FIG. 28 and fixed to the upper edge of the basket wall 120M to cover the opening of the storage basket 100M forward, thereby forming an undivided accommodating region.
[0169] FIG. 29 and FIG. 30 are a rear perspective view and a side perspective view of a wheeled mobile apparatus IM according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the storagebasket 100M is in a second state of the use mode.
[0170] In the second state, the second separation portion 132M is, for example, pressed downward and bent from the first state shown in FIG. 27. According to this embodiment, first, an engagement function of the engagement portion 135M in the first state is released, for example, the zipper is opened, and then, the second separation portion 132M is pressed downward so that the first separation portion 13 IM and the second separation portion 132M Eire overlapped and supported in the inner contour of the storage basket 100M. The first separation portion 13 IM and the second separation portion 132M have a certain thickness, and are maintained in the second state by, for example, friction with the material of the basket bottom 110M or other fixing apparatuses (such as Velcro), thereby opening the first accommodating region MOM and the second accommodating region 150M at the same time. In addition, the movable base 212M can form lateral support for an upper end of the first separation portion 13 IM and / or the second separation portion 132M to form the first accommodating region MOM and the second accommodating region 150M that are stable.
[0171] In FIG. 29 and FIG. 30, the lower side of the first separation portion 13 IM and the lower side of the second separation portion 132M are schematically separated. Therefore, with the second connecting portion 134M as a vertex, an acute angle is formed between the first separation portion 13 IM and the second separation portion 132M. Therefore, the second separation portion 132M can better resist the basket bottom 110M, be stuck between the second connecting portion 134M and the basket bottom 110M, and provide more stable support.
[0172] FIG. 31 and FIG. 32 are a rear perspective view and a side perspective view of a wheeled mobile apparatus IM according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the storage basket 100M is in a third state of the use mode.
[0173] According to this embodiment, the second separation portion 132M is, for example, folded upward from the second state (or starting from the first state, the engagement of the engagement portion 135M may be released first), and then rotated and unfolded in the direction of the front leg 220M. The first separation portion 13 IM simultEmeously rotates with the second separation portion 132M around the basket bottom connecting portion 133M and leaves a vertical position perpendicular to the basket bottom 110M. To facilitate identification, according to FIG. 31 and FIG. 32, the first separation portion 13 IM and the second separation portion 132M are schematically located on a straight line. Advantageously, the first separation portion 13 IM and the second separation portion 132M may be further pressed down during actual use, and the second connecting portion 134M finally abuts against the basket bottom 110M, so that part or all of the first separation portion 13 IM and the second separation portion 132M abut against the basket bottom 110M, thereby merging the firstaccommodating region MOM and the second accommodating region 150M, further expanding the storage space.
[0174] According to this embodiment, the flexible integrated basket bottom 110M extends from the front crossbar 22 IM to the rear crossbar 21 IM, thereby allowing the basket bottom 110M to lift upward and smoothly transit, so that the first separation portion 13 IM and the second separation portion 132M may not bend excessively when, for example, items are placed or further pressed down to partially or wholly abut against the basket bottom 110M, and the user can easily pull out the first separation portion 13 IM and the second separation portion 132M to other use states.
[0175] FIG. 33 and FIG. 34 are a rear perspective view and a side perspective view of a wheeled mobile apparatus IM according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the storage basket 100M is in a third state of the use mode.
[0176] According to this embodiment, the support rod 121M of the storage basket 100M configured to support the basket wall 120M is plugged into the movable base 212M on the rear leg 210M. The movable base 212M is pivotably fixed to the inner side of the rear leg 210M, so that the support rod 12 IM can drive the movable base 212M to pivot and rotate downward. As shown in the figure, the support rod 12 IM may be pivoted to substantially a same extension direction as the rear leg 210M, so that the basket wall 120M supported by the support rod 12 IM is folded. By pressing down the support rod 12 IM for elastic rotation, an opening of the accommodating space is enlarged, making it easier to take items.
[0177] Advantageously, the movable base 212M may pivot back and forth between the first position and the second position. At the first position, the support rod 12 IM is substantially parallel to the ground as shown in FIG. 27. At the second position, the support rod 12 IM is pivoted to extend in roughly a same direction as the rear leg 210M. Advantageously, the support rod 12 IM may be at any intermediate position between the first position and the second position, so that the support rod 12 IM together with the basket wall MOM fixed thereon form a lower side baffle of the opening of the accommodating space to prevent falling out of the items. Advantageously, the movable base 212M may have multiple angle gears, so that the support rod 12 IM may adjust a rotation angle according to a gear selection of the movable base 212M and be maintained at the rotation angle, thereby advantageously obtaining a stable size of the opening of the accommodating space.
[0178] Advantageously, the support rod 121M may be made of plastic and metal.
[0179] FIG. 35 and FIG. 36 are a rear perspective view and a side perspective view of a wheeled mobile apparatus IM according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the storage basket 100M is in a fourth state of the use mode.
[0180] In the fourth state, contrary to the third state shown in FIG. 31 and FIG. 32, the separator 13 IM and the second separation portion 132M are wholly or partially pulled against the rear wall 123M of the basket wall 120M. When the second separation portion 132M rotates to abut against the basket wall 120M, the second separation portion 132M extends upward from the inclined rear wall 123M of the storage basket 100M in the shape of an inverted trapezoid to the upper side of the storage basket 100M. That is, an upper part of the second separation portion 132M exceeds an upper edge of the basket wall 120M, so that the protruding portion is used to form an enclosure, which advantageously expands the accommodating space and can better prevent falling out of the items when the items are larger.
[0181] As can be better seen from FIG. 36, in the fourth state, the first separation portion 131M is advantageously not on a same straight line as the second separation portion 132M. More preferably, part or all of the first separation portion 13 IM abuts against the basket bottom 110M and / or the rear wall 123M, while the lower part of the second separation portion 132M abuts against the rear wall 123M. Therefore, on the one hand, the accommodating space is enlarged, and on the other hand, a center of gravity of the items placed is closer to the bottom of the storage basket 100M, making it less likely to fall out from the rear of the storage basket 1 OOM. To this end, the first separation portion 13 IM and the second separation portion 132M may be made of flexible materials so as to be appropriately deformed to better match the shape of the basket bottom 110M or the basket wall 120M.
[0182] FIG. 37 and FIG. 38 are a rear perspective view and a side perspective view of a wheeled mobile apparatus IM according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the storage basket 100M is in the first state of the use mode.
[0183] According to this embodiment, a fixed portion 136M is provided between the separator 130M and the frame 200M, and the fixed portion 136M is advantageously provided on the rear leg 210M. The fixed portion 136M includes a connecting member 1361M and a fixed member 1362M fitting each other, the connecting member 136 IM and the fixed member 1362M are provided on the separator 130M and the rear leg 210M respectively, and the fixed member 1362M is, for example, a fixed buckle, Velcro, a snap-in member, magnetic suction, or the like. According to an embodiment, the connecting member 1361M is a strip provided on one of the separator 130M and the rear leg 210M, and the fixed member 1362M is a fixed buckle provided on the other one of the separator 130M and the rear leg 210M.
[0184] According to the present disclosure, in a case that the separator 130M is vertically inserted into the storage space of the storage basket 100M, for example, the separator 130M is in the first state or the second state above, the fixed portion 136M is configured to limit a vertical position of theseparator 130M. By detachably and fixedly connecting the separator 130M to the rear leg 210M, stability of support of the separator 130M is improved, and a wide range of displacement or even tipping due to, for example, squeeze of the upper side of the first separation portion 13 IM by an object.
[0185] Additionally, the connecting member 1361M in the form of a strip is provided at two ends of the separation connecting portion 134M. The strip is, for example, a long ribbon, a plastic strap, a belt, or the like. A free end of the connecting member 1361M fits the fixed member 1362M, and is configured to fix the free end of the connecting member 1361M to the rear leg 210M. The elongated connecting member 1361M can provide a limited displacement range, so that the upper side of the first separation portion 13 IM may, for example, move forward and backward by a distance relative to the vertical position as shown in FIG. 27 to advantageously adjust sizes of the first accommodating region MOM and the second accommodating region 150M.
[0186] According to the above implementations of the present disclosure, the separator 130M is connected to the support at the bottom of the storage basket 100M or the vegetable basket 100M, and through folding and unfolding of the separator 130M, a variety of use modes are formed, which advantageously meets different use requirements of users. The technical features in the above embodiments may be randomly combined. For concise description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, all the combinations of the technical features are to be considered as falling within the scope described in this specification provided that they do not conflict with each other.
[0187] The above embodiments only describe several implementations of the present disclosure, and their description is specific and detailed, but cannot therefore be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the present disclosure. It should be noted that those of ordinary skill in the art may further make variations and improvements without departing from the conception of the present disclosure, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the present disclosure should be subject to the appended claims.
