Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to a child safety seat.

BACKGROUND

The child safety seat is used in vehicle to facilitate parents to travel with their children. Generally, the conventional child safety seat is usually provided with a headrest to support and protect the child's head, and the height of the headrest is adjustable to accommodate children of different heights. The height adjustment range of the headrest is generally relatively large to accommodate the needs of children as they grow to different heights. If the parent is not skilled in the use of child safety seat, it is easy to adjust the height of the headrest to an inappropriate height, so that the headrest cannot effectively protect the child's head. For example, for an infant passenger, the headrest is not suitable for being adjusted above a certain height, whereas for an older child passenger, the headrest is not suitable for being adjusted below a certain height.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

FIGS. 1, 2, and 6 show a structure of a child safety seat 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. The child safety seat 100 includes a base 1 and a seat 2. In this embodiment, the seat 2 is rotatably disposed on the base 1. In this case, the seat 2 may have a forward mounting position and a reverse mounting position with respect to the base 1. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the seat 2 mounted on the base 1 in a forward direction, it could be understood that the face of a child seated on the seat 2 mounted in the forward direction faces forward. FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the seat 2 mounted on the base 1 in a reverse direction, it could be understood that the face of a child seated on the seat 2 mounted in the reverse direction faces backward. In other embodiments, the seat 2 may be fixed on the base 1 and thus cannot be rotated relative to the base 1.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, orientation terms such as “front”, “rear”, “left”, “right”, “upper” and “lower” in this embodiment correspond to the directions of “front”, “back”, “left”, “right”, “up”, “down” of the vehicle. These orientation terms are only intended to make the description of the embodiments of the present application clearer, and are not intended to improperly limit the protection scope of the present application.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, a front end of the base 1 is provided with a pivotable support leg 11, which is pivotally connected to the base 1 by a pivot point 11a. The support leg 11 has an unfolded state (FIG. 1) and a folded state (FIG. 5) with respect to the base 1. The seat 2 has a seat portion 21 and a backrest 22 provided with a height-adjustable headrest 23, so that the headrest 23 may be adjusted according to the height of child. For example, a height adjustment mechanism 4 is disposed between the backrest 22 and the headrest 23, and the height adjustment mechanism 4 may be known in the art. The height adjustment mechanism 4 allows the height of the headrest 23 on the backrest 22 (see FIG. 17, a distance of the headrest 23 relative to an upper surface of the seat 21) to be adjusted, so as to adapt the headrest 23 to children of different heights. The height adjustment mechanism 4 allows the headrest 23 to have an upper limit adjustment height H3 and a lower limit adjustment height H4, and allows the headrest 23 to be fixed at any of a plurality of adjustment positions between the upper limit adjustment height H3 and the lower limit adjustment height H4. That is, a height adjustment range provided by the height adjustment mechanism 4 for the headrest 23 is in a range from H3 to H4.

Referring to FIGS. 1, 5, and 17, for the child safety seat 100 suitable for the height of young children (such as, 0 to 4 years of age) and older children (such as, 3 to 12 years old), the headrest 23 is provided with a seatbelt restrainer 237 and a shoulder belt hole 236, and the seatbelt restrainer 237 is located above the shoulder belt hole 236. When a young child is seated in the child safety seat 100 (for example, the support leg 11 needs to be unfolded in this case), the seatbelt of the child safety seat 100 passes through the shoulder belt hole 236, and the child safety seat 100 secures the child in the child safety seat 100 by a self-configured seatbelt. When an older child is seated in the child safety seat 100, the seatbelt of the vehicle seat passes through the seatbelt restrainer 237 when engaged with the child safety seat 100. By means of the shoulder belt hole 236 or the seatbelt restrainer 237, the seatbelt of the vehicle seat provides reliable protection to the child seated in the child safety seat 100 without affecting the child's riding comfort.

In the art, when the headrest 23 is used for young children, the height of the headrest 23 generally refers to a distance between a lower edge of the shoulder belt hole 236 and an upper surface of the seat portion 21. The lower limit adjustment height H4 refers to, for example, the minimum distance between from the lower edge of the shoulder belt hole 236 to the upper surface of the seat portion 21. When the headrest 23 is used for older children, the height of the headrest 23 generally refers to a distance between a lower edge of the seatbelt restrainer 237 and the upper surface of the seat portion 21. The upper limit adjustment height H3 refers to, for example, the maximum distance from the lower edge of the seatbelt restrainer 237 to the upper surface of the seat portion 21.

The child safety seat 100 further includes a headrest limiting device 3 operably connected to the support leg 11. The headrest limiting device 3 has different working states according to the change of the working mode (unfolded or folded) of the support leg 11.

In this embodiment, referring to FIGS. 7, 8, and 17, the headrest limiting device 3 has a first locking member 301. When the support leg 11 is in the unfolded state, the first locking member 301 is in an extended state, so as to be engaged with the headrest 23, thereby limiting an upper adjustment height H1 of the headrest 23 (in connection with the above, the upper adjustment height H1 refers to, for example, a distance from a lower edge of the shoulder belt hole 236 to the upper surface of the seat portion 21). When the support leg 11 is in the folded state, the first locking member 301 is in a retracted state. Referring to FIGS. 12, 13, and 17, the headrest limiting device 3 has a second locking member 302. When the support leg 11 is in the unfolded state, the second locking member 302 is in the retracted state. When the support leg 302 is in the folded state, the second locking member 302 is in the extended state, so as to be engaged with the headrest 23, thereby limiting a lower adjustment height H2 of the headrest 23 (in connection with the above, the lower adjustment height H2 refers to, for example, a distance from the lower edge of the seatbelt restrainer 237 to the upper surface of the seat portion 21). A height value of the upper limit adjustment height H3 is greater than a height value of the upper adjustment height H1, and the height value of the upper adjustment height H1 is greater than a height value of the lower limit adjustment height H4; and the height value of lower limit adjustment height H4 is smaller than a height value of the lower adjustment height H2, and the height value of the lower adjustment height H2 is smaller than the height value of the upper limit adjustment height H3.

Generally, the child safety seat 100 is more suitable for young children (such as, infants), when supported by the support leg 11 (i.e., the support leg 11 is in the unfolded state in the use state of the child safety seat 100). In this case, the headrest 23 needs to be adjusted to a lower position range. The child safety seat 100 is more suitable for older children, when not supported by the support leg 11 (i.e., the support leg 11 is in the folded state in the use state of the child safety seat 100). In this case, the headrest needs to be adjusted to a higher position range.

In order to avoid improper use of the headrest 23 when the support leg 11 of the child safety seat 100 is in different modes, in an embodiment of the present application, the headrest limiting device 3 is configured to be operably connected to the support leg 11. When the support leg 11 is in the unfolded state for children to ride, the first locking member 301 of the headrest limiting device 3 is in the extended state and the second locking member 302 of the headrest limiting device 3 is in the retracted state, thereby limiting the upper adjustment height H1 of the headrest 23 when the support leg 11 is in the unfolded state. In this case, the height adjustment range of the headrest 23 is, for example, in a range from H4 to H1 (for example, in a range from 274 mm to 391 mm). As a result, when the infant child is seated in the child safety seat, the improper use of the headrest caused by the parent adjusting the headrest 23 too high is avoided, thereby improving the safety and comfort of infants. When the support leg 11 is in the folded state for older children to ride, the second locking member 302 of the headrest limiting device 3 is in the extended state and the first locking member 301 of the headrest limiting device 3 is in the retracted state, thereby limiting the lower adjustment height H2 of the headrest 23 when the support leg 11 is in the folded state. In this case, the height adjustment range of the headrest 23 is, for example, in a range from H2 to H3 (for example, in a range from 324 mm to 533 mm). As a result, when the older child is seated in the child safety seat, the improper use of the headrest caused by the parent adjusting the headrest 23 too low is avoided, thereby improving the safety and comfort of infants.

In some embodiments, a height difference HS between the upper adjustment height H1 and the lower adjustment height H2 is not equal to a height difference between the lower edge of the seatbelt restrainer 237 and the lower edge of the shoulder belt hole 236, and even the height value of the upper adjustment height H1 is greater than the height value of the lower adjustment height H2. That is, the position adjustment range of the headrest 23 when the support leg 11 is in the unfolded state and the position adjustment range of the headrest 23 when the support legs 11 is in the folded state may be partially overlapping. In other embodiments (e.g., as shown in FIG. 17), the height difference HS of the upper adjustment height H1 and the lower adjustment height H2 is, for example, equal to the height difference of the lower edge of the seatbelt restrainer 237 and the lower edge of the shoulder belt hole 236.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 6, the headrest 23 is disposed on an inner side 221 of the backrest 22, and an outer side 222 of the backrest 22 is provided with a blocking block 24 connected to the headrest 23, and the blocking block 24 is adapted to move up and down following the headrest 23. The blocking block 24 is detachably connected to the headrest 23, for example, by means of a bolt (not numbered in figures), the outer side 222 of the backrest 22 is provided with, for example, a track 2221 in sliding fit with the blocking block 24. The blocking block 24 includes an upper limiting surface 241 that is adapted to be engaged with the first locking member 301, and the blocking block may further include a lower limiting surface 242 that is adapted to be engaged with the second locking member 302. As a result, the first locking member 301, the second locking member 302 is indirectly engaged with the headrest 23 by the blocking block 24, thereby limiting the upper adjustment height H1 and the lower adjustment height H2 of the headrest 23. The blocking block 24 adapted to move following the headrest 23 is disposed on the outer side 222 of the backrest 22, so that the extension directions of the first locking member 301 and the second locking member 302 are both configured to face the direction away from the back of the child passenger. On the one hand, the outer space of the backrest 22 is fully utilized, and on the other hand, the structure of the headrest 23 itself is not greatly affected.

Referring to FIG. 3, the headrest limiting device 3 may further include a first locking assembly 31 and a second locking assembly 32. FIGS. 7 to 11 show a preferred embodiment of the first locking assembly 31, and FIGS. 12 to 15 show a preferred embodiment of the second locking assembly 32.

Referring to FIGS. 3, 4, 7 to 11, and 16, the first locking assembly 31 may include a first elastic restoring member 311 and a first pulling rope 312. The first elastic restoring member 311 is mounted on the backrest 22 and connected to the first locking member 301. The first elastic restoring member 311 may be, for example, an elastic sheet and made of metal or plastic or other suitable material. The first locking member 301 may be a locking pin, which is attached to or integrally formed with the first elastic restoring member 311. The first pulling rope 312 may be, for example, a steel wire, a first end 3121 of the first pulling rope 312 is connected to a first connection point 111 of the support leg, and the second end 3122 of the first pulling rope 312 is operably connected to the first elastic restoring member 311. It should be noted that the operable connection between the first pulling rope 312 and the first elastic restoring member 311 may be a direct connection, an indirect connection, a direct contact or an indirect contact, etc., such that an active action of one of the first pulling rope 312 and the first elastic restoring member 311 causes a passive action of the other.

By reasonably setting the path of the first pulling rope 312, the first locking assembly 31 meets the following conditions: when the support leg 11 is in the unfolded state (as described above, generally corresponding to the situation of infants riding, it is necessary to control the position of the headrest 23 not to be too high), the first clastic restoring member 311 maintains the first locking member 301 in the extended state. When the headrest 23 moves from bottom to top and reaches the upper adjustment height H1, the first locking member 301 is abutted against the upper limiting surface 241, thereby restricting the headrest 23 from moving higher than the upper adjustment height H1. When the support leg 11 is switched from the unfolded state to the folded state, the support leg 11 pulls the first pulling rope 312, and the first elastic restoring member 311 is subjected to a force from the first pulling rope 312 and deformed elastically, and the elastic deformation of the first clastic restoring member 311 drives the first locking member 301 to be switched from the extended state to the retracted state. In this case, the first locking member 301 no longer restricts the headrest 23 from moving higher than the upper adjustment height H1. It could be understood that when the support leg 11 is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, the first clastic restoring member 311 may reversely pull the first pulling rope 312 under the action of clastic restoring force, and bring the first locking member 301 return to the extended state.

Referring to FIGS. 3, 4, and 12 to 16, the second locking assembly 32 includes a second elastic restoring member 321 and a second pulling rope 322. The second elastic restoring member 321 is mounted on the backrest 22 and connected to the second locking member 302. The second elastic restoring member 321 may be, for example, an elastic sheet and made of metal or plastic or other suitable material. The second locking member 302 may be a locking pin, which is attached to or integrally formed with the second elastic restoring member 321. The second pulling rope 322 may be, for example, a steel wire, a first end 3221 of the second pulling rope 322 is connected to a second connection point 112 of the support leg 11, and the second end 3222 of the second pulling rope 312 is operably connected to the second elastic restoring member 321. It should be noted that the operable connection between the second pulling rope 322 and the second elastic restoring member 321 may be a direct connection, an indirect connection, a direct contact or an indirect contact, etc., such that an active action of one of the second pulling rope 322 and the second elastic restoring member 321 causes a passive action of the other.

By reasonably setting the path of the second pulling rope 322, the second locking assembly 32 meets the following conditions: when the support leg 11 is in the folded state (as described above, generally corresponding to the situation of older children riding, it is necessary to control the position of the headrest 23 not to be too low), the second elastic restoring member 321 maintains the second locking member 302 in the extended state. When the headrest 23 moves from top to bottom and reaches the lower adjustment height H2, the second locking member 302 is abutted against the lower limiting surface 242, thereby restricting the headrest 23 from moving lower than the lower adjustment height H2. When the support leg 11 is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, the support leg 11 pulls the second pulling rope 322, and the second clastic restoring member 321 is subjected to a force from the second pulling rope 322 and deformed elastically, and the clastic deformation of the second elastic restoring member 321 drives the second locking member 302 to be switched from the extended state to the retracted state. In this case, the second locking member 302 no longer restricts the headrest 23 from moving lower than the lower adjustment height H2. It could be understood that when the support leg 11 is switched from the unfolded state to the folded state, the second elastic restoring member 321 may reversely pull the second pulling rope 322 under the action of elastic restoring force, and bring the second locking member 302 return to the extended state.

Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, in this embodiment, the first connection point 111 is disposed on a top portion 110 of the support leg 11, and the first connection point 111 and the pivot point 11a of the support leg 11 are spaced apart by a first preset distance L1 in a length direction L of the support leg 11. The second connection point 112 is disposed on the top portion 110 of the support leg 11, and the second connection point 112 and the pivot point 11a of the support leg 11 are spaced apart by a second preset distance L2 in the length direction L of the support leg 11. In some embodiments, the first preset distance L1 is equal to the second preset distance L2. In some embodiments, the first connection point 111 and the second connection point 112 may be the same connection point.

Referring to FIGS. 3, 5, and 16, in this embodiment, the first pulling rope 312 and the second pulling rope 322, for example, may be configured as follows.

A first guide portion 101 is disposed on a front end of a bottom portion of the base 1 (for case of understanding, the base 1 is not shown in FIGS. 3 and 5), and the first pulling rope 312 is engaged with the front end of the base 1 through the first guide portion 101. The first guide portion 101 is, for example, located behind the first connection point 111. When the support leg 11 is in the unfolded state, a length of the first pulling rope between the first guide portion 101 and the first connection point 111 is relatively small, and when the support leg 11 is in the folded state, the length of the first pulling rope between the first guide portion 101 and the first connection point 111 is relatively great. In FIG. 3, S1 indicates the length of the first pulling rope 312 between the first guide portion 101 and the first connection point 111 when the support leg 11 is in the unfolded state. In FIG. 5, S2 indicates the length of the first pulling rope 312 between the first guide portion 101 and the first connection point 111 when the support leg 11 is in the folded state. S1 is less than S2. The second end 3122 of the first pulling rope 312 extends upwardly through the first guide portion 101 and the bottom portion of the base 1, and is connected to the first elastic restoring member 311.

A second guide portion 102 is disposed on the front end of the bottom portion of the base 1, and the second pulling rope 322 is engaged with the front end of the base 1 through the second guide portion 102. The second guide portion 102 is, for example, located in front of the second connection point 112. When the support leg 11 is in the unfolded state, a length of the second pulling rope between the second guide portion 102 and the second connection point 112 is relatively great, and when the support leg 11 is in the folded state, the length of the second rope between the second guide portion 102 and the second connection point 112 is relatively small. In FIG. 3, S3 indicates the length of the second pulling rope 322 between the second guide portion 102 and the second connection point 112 when the support leg 11 is in the unfolded state. In FIG. 5, S4 indicates the length of the second pulling rope 322 between the second guide portion 102 and the second connection point 112 when the support leg 11 is in the folded state. S3 is greater than S4. The second end 3222 of the second pulling rope 322 extends upwardly through the second guide portion 102 and the bottom portion of the base 1, and is connected to the second elastic restoring member 321.

Referring to FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the seat 2 is pivotally connected to the base 1 through a hollow rotating shaft 20, and for example, the seat 2 is capable of being rotated 360°. In this case, the second end 3122 of the first pulling rope 312 is operably connected to the first elastic restoring member 311 after passing through a central hole of a rotating shaft 20, and the second end 3222 of the second pulling rope 322 may be operably connected to the second elastic restoring member 321 after passing through the central hole of the rotating shaft 20. As a result, the first locking assembly 31 and the second locking assembly 32 operate normally regardless of whether the seat 2 is in the forward mounting position or in the reverse mounting position. Referring to FIG. 16, it can be seen that in this embodiment, the first pulling rope 312 and the second pulling rope 322 intersect with each other in the rotating shaft 20. However, in other embodiments, the first pulling rope 312 and the second pulling rope 322 may use other suitable paths in which the first pulling rope 312 and the second pulling rope 322 may not intersect with each other.

Referring to FIGS. 8 to 11, in this embodiment, the first locking assembly 31 may further include a first mounting seat 331 mounted on the backrest 22 and having a first receiving groove 3310 in which the first clastic restoring member 311 is located. The first elastic restoring member 311 is mounted on the backrest 22 through the first mounting seat 331, and the first elastic restoring member 311 in the first receiving groove 3310 is not easily interfered by other components. A groove bottom of the first receiving groove 3310 is provided with a first through hole 33101 for the first locking member 301 to be extended or retracted. When the first locking member 301 is extended from the first through hole 33101, the first locking member 301 is in the extended state, so as to be engaged with the headrest 23 or the blocking block 24. When the first locking member 301 is retracted from the first through hole 33101, the first locking member 301 is in a retracted state.

Referring to FIGS. 13 to 15, in this embodiment, the second locking assembly 32 may further include a second mounting seat 332 mounted on the backrest 22 and having a second receiving groove 3320 in which the second elastic restoring member 321 is located. The second elastic restoring member 321 is mounted on the backrest 22 through the second mounting seat 332, and the second clastic restoring member 321 in the second receiving groove 3320 is not easily interfered by other components. A groove bottom of the second receiving groove 3320 is provided with a second through hole 33201 for the second locking member 302 to be extended or retracted. It could be understood that when the second locking member 302 is extended from the second through hole 33201, the second locking member 302 is in the extended state, so as to be engaged with the headrest 23 or the blocking block 24. When the second locking member 302 is retracted from the first through hole 33201, the second locking member 302 is in a retracted state.

This embodiment also shows an operable connection of the first pulling rope 312 and the first elastic restoring member 311, and an operable connection of the second pulling rope 322 and the second elastic restoring member 321.

Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the second end 3122 of the first pulling rope 312 is connected to a first driving pin 341, and the first pulling rope 312 interacts with the first driving pin 341 through the first elastic restoring member 311. In some embodiments, the first driving pin 341 is received in the first receiving groove 3310 and is abutted against the first elastic restoring member 311. When the support leg 11 is switched from the unfolded state to the folded state, the first pulling rope 312 drives the first elastic restoring member 311 to be deformed by the first driving pin 341, so that the first locking member 301 is retracted from the first through hole 33101.

In some embodiments, a groove wall of the first receiving groove 3310 is provided with a first slideway 33102, and the first driving pin 341 is in sliding fit with the first slideway 33102. The first slideway 33102 is, for example, an elongated hole, and a stroke provided by the first slideway 33102 for the first driving pin 341 is, for example, equal to the difference between the above-mentioned S1 and S2. Referring to FIG. 8, when the support leg 11 is switched from the unfolded state to the folded state, the first pulling rope 312 pulls the first driving pin 341 to move rightward and downward along the first slideway 33102, and the first driving pin 341 exerts a force on the first clastic restoring member 311 during the movement, so that the first locking member 301 moves rightward and upward, and is retracted from the first through hole 33101. As a result, when the support leg 11 of the child safety seat is folded for older children to ride, the first locking member 301 no longer restricts headrest 23 from moving upward.

In some embodiments, a middle portion of the first elastic restoring member 311 is provided with a first opening 3110, and the second end 3122 of the first pulling rope 312 is provided with a first connecting ring 31220, and the first connecting ring 31220 is located in the first opening 3110 and sleeved on the first driving pin 341.

In some embodiments, the first end 3111 of the first clastic restoring member 311 is, for example, riveted or welded together with the first mounting seat 331, and the second end 3112 of the first clastic restoring member 311 is extended obliquely toward the groove bottom of the first mounting groove 3310, thereby having an inclined surface. A first locking member 301 is located on the second end 3112 of the first elastic restoring member 311. When the pulling force received by the first driving pin 341 from the first pulling rope 312 is greater than the pressing force received by the first driving pin 341 from the first elastic restoring member 311, the first driving pin 341 slides in the first slideway 33102 and pushes the inclined surface of the first elastic restoring member 311 at the same time, so that the inclined surface of the first clastic restoring member 311 is elastically deformed, and the first locking member 301 is forced to be retracted from the first through hole 33101. When the pulling force received by the first driving pin 341 from the first pulling rope 312 is smaller than the pressing force received by the first driving pin 341 from the first elastic restoring member 311, the inclined surface of the first elastic restoring member 311 drives the first driving pin 341 to slide reversely in the first slideway 33102, and at the same time, the first locking member 301 is extended from the first through hole 33101.

Referring to FIG. 15, the second end 3222 of the second pulling rope 322 is connected to a second driving pin 342 and the second pulling rope 322 interacts with the second driving pin 342 through the second clastic restoring member 321. In some embodiments, the second driving pin 342 is received in the second receiving groove 3320 and is abutted against the second clastic restoring member 321. When the support leg 11 is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, the second pulling rope 322 drives the second elastic restoring member 321 to be deformed by the second driving pin 342, so that the second locking member 302 is retracted from the second through hole 33201.

In some embodiments, a groove wall of the second receiving groove 3320 is provided with a second slideway 33202, and the second driving pin 342 is in sliding fit with the second slideway 33202. The second slideway 33202 is, for example, an elongated hole, and a stroke provided by the second slideway 33202 for the second driving pin 342 is, for example, equal to the difference between the above-mentioned S3 and S4. Referring to FIG. 13, when the support leg 11 is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, the second pulling rope 322 pulls the second driving pin 342 to move rightward and downward along the second slideway 33202, and the second driving pin 342 exerts a force on the second elastic restoring member 321 during the movement, so that the second locking member 302 moves rightward and upward, and is retracted from the second through hole 33201. When the support leg 11 of the child safety seat is unfolded for young children to ride, the second locking member 302 no longer restricts headrest 23 from moving downward.

In some embodiments, a middle portion of the second elastic restoring member 321 is provided with a second opening 3210, and the second end 3222 of the second pulling rope 322 is provided with a second connecting ring 32220, and the second connecting ring 32220 is located in the second opening 3210 and sleeved on the second driving pin 342.

In some embodiments, the first end 3211 of the second clastic restoring member 321 is, for example, riveted or welded together with the second mounting seat 332, and the second end 3212 of the second elastic restoring member 321 is extended obliquely toward the groove bottom of the second mounting groove 3320, thereby having an inclined surface. A second locking member 302 is located on the second end 3212 of the second clastic restoring member 321. When the pulling force received by the second driving pin 342 from the second pulling rope 322 is greater than the pressing force received by the second driving pin 342 from the second elastic restoring member 321, the second driving pin 342 slides in the second slideway 33202 and pushes the inclined surface of the second clastic restoring member 321 at the same time, so that the inclined surface of the second clastic restoring member 321 is elastically deformed, and the second locking member 302 is forced to be retracted from the second through hole 33201. When the pulling force received by the second driving pin 342 from the second pulling rope 322 is smaller than the pressing force received by the second driving pin 342 from the second elastic restoring member 321, the inclined surface of the second elastic restoring member 321 drives the second driving pin 342 to slide reversely in the second slideway 33202, and at the same time, the second locking member 302 is extended from the second through hole 33201.

The above-mentioned first mounting seat 331 and second mounting seat 332 may be disposed on the middle of the backrest 22 and be arranged to be spaced apart from left to right.
