The first connecting assembly 12 comprises a first locking member 121. The first locking member 121 is slidably arranged in the first mounting seat 11, and the first locking member 121 can lock or release the first mounting seat 11 and the carrier 2, so that the first mounting seat 11 and the ISOFIX connecting mechanism 13 can be connected to or separated from the carrier 2. In the present embodiment, the carrier 2 is a pet stroller, and the bottom of the carrier 2 is provided with a mounting groove 21 and a clamping stop block 22. The first mounting seat 11 is accommodated in the mounting groove 21 for cooperation, and the mounting groove 21 is further provided with an opening 20, and the clamping stop block 22 is arranged at the opening 20 to be clamped with the first locking member 121. In the present embodiment, the mounting groove 21 is provided with the opening 20 at both ends. Correspondingly, the clamping stop block 22 is arranged at each opening 20, and the two clamping stop blocks 22 are parallel to each other. In order to further reinforce the two clamping stop blocks 22, the two clamping stop blocks 22 are each provided with a reinforcing member 23 at both ends, and the two clamping stop blocks 22 and the two reinforcing members 23 together form a rectangular structure, thereby improving the reliability of use. The first locking member 121 can enter the opening 20 and be clamped with the clamping stop block 22 to lock or disengage the opening 20 and the clamping stop block 22 to release, so that the multifunctional connecting device 1 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the carrier 2.

[0028] Further, referring to FIGS. 2-4, the first locking member 121 includes an operation portion 1211 and an engaging portion 1212, the engaging portion 1212 is capable of extending into the opening 20 and engaging with the carrier 2, the operation portion 1211 is used to drive the engaging portion 1212 to exit the opening 20 to release the lock. The first connecting assembly 12 further includes a first reset member 122, which is arranged between the first locking member 121 and the first mounting base 11 to reset the first locking member 121. In the embodiment, the first reset member 122 is a tension spring. Specifically, the first mounting base 11 includes an engaging groove 111, the engaging portion 1212 is accommodated in the engaging groove 111 to engage with the engaging block 22, thereby locking the first mounting base 11 to the bottom of the carrier 2. In the embodiment, the engaging portion 1212 is a wedge-shaped protrusion, when the first locking member 121 slides, the engaging portion 1212 also synchronously slides in the engaging groove 111, thereby entering the opening 20 and engaging with the engaging block 22 to lock, or exiting the opening 20 and being accommodated in the first mounting base 11, thereby disengaging from the engaging block 22 to release the lock. Such arrangement can enable the multifunctional connecting device 1 to be quickly mounted to the bottom of the carrier 2, improving the convenience of operation.

[0029] Further, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the number of the first locking member 121 is two, and they are symmetrically arranged at the two ends of the first mounting base 11 respectively; the first connecting assembly 12 further includes a linkage member 123, which is rotatably arranged in the first mounting base 11, and the two ends thereof are pivotally connected with the two first locking members 121 respectively to move the two first locking members 121 towards or away from each other. Such arrangement can enable either operation portion 1211 of the first locking member 121 to make the two first locking members 121 act simultaneously to release the lock, facilitating single-handed operation, and further improving the convenience of use. Specifically, the two ends of the linkage member 123 have connecting ears 124, when one end of one first locking member 121 pushes one connecting ear 124, the linkage member 123 rotates relative to the first mounting base 11, and the other first locking member 121 moves under the traction of the other connecting ear 124 of the linkage member 123.

[0030] Further, referring to Figs. 1 and 5-8, the connecting mechanism 13 of the ISOFIX comprises a second mounting base 131 and a second connecting assembly 132; the second mounting base 132 comprises a receiving portion 1311 capable of cooperating with the connecting portion 14 of the ISOFIX; the second connecting assembly 132 is partially accommodated in the second mounting base 131 and cooperates with the receiving portion 1311 so as to lock the connecting portion 14 of the ISOFIX in the receiving portion 1311. Specifically, the second connecting assembly 132 comprises a first operating member 1321, a clamping member 1322 and a second reset member 1323; the first operating member 1321 is slidably connected to the second mounting base 131; the clamping member 1322 is movably arranged in the receiving portion 1311 of the second mounting base 131, and the clamping member 1322 and the operating member 1321 are connected by the second reset member 1323 so as to reset the clamping member 1322. In the present embodiment, the second reset member 1323 is a compression spring. More specifically, the clamping member 1322 is further provided with a connecting hole 1324, a pin shaft (not shown) passes through the connecting hole 1324 and is connected with the receiving portion 1311, so that the clamping member 1322 can rotate relative to the receiving portion 1311.

[0031] Further, referring to Figs. 5-6, the connecting portion 14 of the ISOFIX comprises a connecting rod 141, the receiving portion 1311 comprises a receiving cavity 1312 and a connecting groove 1313; the connecting groove 1313 is used for accommodating the connecting rod 141; the clamping member 1322 is rotatably arranged in the receiving cavity 1312 and cooperates with the connecting groove 1313, and is used for locking the connecting rod 141 in the connecting groove 1313. Specifically, the clamping member 1322 is further provided with a limiting groove 1325, the limiting groove 1325 and the connecting groove 1313 form a closable clamping jaw structure to lock the connecting rod 141. When it is needed to separate the multifunctional connecting device 1 from the connecting portion 14 of the ISOFIX, the operating member 1321 is driven to slide, so that the clamping member 1322 rotates, thereby making the clamping jaw structure in an open state, and thus the connecting rod 141 can freely slide in the connecting groove 1313. At this time, the receiving portion 1311 of the connecting mechanism 13 of the ISOFIX is pulled out from the connecting portion 14 of the ISOFIX, so that the multifunctional connecting device 1 can be separated from the connecting portion 14 of the ISOFIX.

[0032] The following is a description of the working principle of the carrier adapting system 100. When the multifunctional connecting device 1 needs to be installed on the bottom of the carrier 2, the multifunctional connecting device 1 is positioned on the bottom of the carrier 2 by the cooperation of the mounting groove 21 of the carrier 2 and the engaging portion 1212 of the multifunctional connecting device 1. Since the engaging portion 1212 is a wedge-shaped protrusion and is slidably arranged, at this time, the engaging stopper 22 will push the engaging portion 1212 so that the engaging portion 1212 is completely accommodated in the first mounting seat 11, without the need to drive the engaging portion 1212 to move through the operation portion 1211. As the first mounting seat 11 gradually approaches the bottom of the carrier 2, the engaging stopper 22 will eventually no longer push against the engaging portion 1212, at which time the engaging portion 1212 enters the opening 20 and engages with the engaging stopper 22. At this time, the multifunctional connecting device 1 is locked on the bottom of the carrier 2, and the carrier 2 can be connected to the car through the ISOFIX connecting mechanism. When the multifunctional connecting device 1 needs to be removed from the carrier 2, press any of the operation portions 1211 to drive the engaging portion 1212 to exit the opening 20 on the mounting groove 21, so that the multifunctional connecting device 1 can be separated from the carrier 2. Then, the accommodating portion 1311 of the ISOFIX connecting mechanism 13 is released by the operation member 1321 of the ISOFIX connecting mechanism 13, and then the accommodating portion 1311 of the ISOFIX connecting mechanism 13 is pulled out of the ISOFIX connecting portion 14, so that the multifunctional connecting device 1 can be separated from the ISOFIX connecting portion 14.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the multifunctional connecting device 1 provided by the present application connects one end of the ISOFIX connecting mechanism 13 to the first mounting seat 11, and the other end is detachably connected to the ISOFIX connecting portion 14. The first locking member 121 is arranged on the first mounting seat 11, so that the first locking member 121 can lock or release the first mounting seat 11 from the carrier 2, facilitating the connection or separation of the first mounting seat 11, the ISOFIX connecting mechanism 13 and the carrier 2, so that the multifunctional connecting device 1 and the carrier 2 are detachably connected to facilitate maintenance or replacement, improving the convenience and reliability of use, and providing a good user experience.

[0034] The above-described embodiments are merely exemplary. It should be apparent that a person skilled in the art of this field can make various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of the application. It is therefore intended that such changes and modifications be covered by the appended claims.
