Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the first engaging mechanism 12 includes an unlocking member 121, a first resilient member 122, an indication member 123, an abutting member 124, and a second resilient member 125. The unlocking member 121 is pivotally connected to the engaging base 11, and the first resilient member 122 is disposed between the unlocking member 121 and the engaging base 11. The unlocking member 121 is switchable between a locked state and an unlocked state. The unlocking member 121 has an engaging portion 1211 and a connecting portion 1212. At least a part of the unlocking member 121 is located within the accommodating cavity 112. The part of the unlocking member 121 located within the accommodating cavity 112 forms a connecting portion 1212, which is pivotally connected to a cavity wall of accommodating cavity 112. When the unlocking member 121 is in the locked state, the engaging portion 1211 is engaged with the crossbar 91, as shown in FIG. 10. When the unlocking member 121 is in the unlocked state, the crossbar 91 is disengaged from the engaging portion 1211, as shown in FIG. 8. In this embodiment, the unlocking member 121 has a first position and a second position.

At least two indication states include a first indication state for indicating that the crossbar 91 is disengaged from the first engaging mechanism 12 and a second indication state for indicating that the crossbar 91 is engaged with the first engaging mechanism 12. As shown in FIG. 11, the indication member 123 is provided with indication marks 1232 indicating at least two indication states, respectively. The indication marks 1232 includes a red flag to indicate the first indication state and a green flag to indicate the second indication state. Of course, in other embodiments, at least two other different indication marks may be used to indicate at least two states as long as different indication states can be distinguished. In this embodiment, the indication member 123 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 112, and the engaging base 11 is provided with an indication window 117 for displaying any indication mark 1232. Specifically, when the crossbar 91 (see FIG. 4) is disengaged from the engaging portion 1211 (that is, when the crossbar 91 is not engaged with the engaging portion 1211), the indication member 123 is in the first indication state, and a red flag of the indication member 123 is located at the indication window 117. When the crossbar 91 is engaged with the engaging portion 1211, the indication member 123 is switched from the first indication state to the second indication state, at which time the green flag of the indication member 123 is moved to the indication window 117. It is thus convenient for the caregiver to determine whether the baby carrier 9 is engaged with the first engaging mechanism 12 based on the indication mark 1232 shown at indication window 117.
As shown in FIG. 7, the abutting member 124 is movably disposed on the engaging base 11 and between the unlocking member 121 and the indication member 123. As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the abutting member 124 is switchable between the extended position and the retracted position, and when the abutting member 124 is switched from the extended position to the retracted position, the abutting member 124 pushes the indication member 123, so that the indication member 123 is switched from the first indication state to the second indication state. An end of abutting member 124 is an abutting end 1241 capable of abutting the crossbar 91. When the abutting member 124 is in the retracted position, as shown in FIG. 9, the abutting end 1241 and the second engaging surface 113 are substantially flush, and the crossbar 91 is capable of being engaged between the first engaging surface 1213 and the abutting end 1241. When the abutting member 124 is in the extended position, as shown in FIG. 8, the crossbar 91 is disengaged from the first engaging surface 1213. The second resilient member 125 is adapted to bias the indication member 123 toward the first indication state. An end of the indication member 123 has a first driving bevel 1231, the other end of the abutting member 124 is provided with a second driving bevel 1242 adapted to abut against the first driving bevel 1231 to drive the indication member 123 to move, so that the indication member 123 switches between at least two indicating states (the first indication state and the second indication state in the present embodiment). When the unlocking member 121 is in the unlocked state in the first position, the abutting end 1241 of the abutting member 124 is located between the first engaging surface 1213 and the second engaging surface 113. In this embodiment, when the unlocking member 121 is in the unlocked state in the first position, the abutting member 124 is disposed substantially perpendicular to the first engaging surface 1213. Of course, in other embodiments, the abutting member 124 may also be staggered from the first engaging surface 1213.
As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when the crossbar 91 moves to be engaged with the engaging portion 1211, the crossbar 91 pushes the abutting end 1241 of the abutting member 124 to move the abutting member 124, and drives the indication member 123 to move by the engagement of the second driving bevel 1242 and the first driving bevel 1231, so that the indication member 123 is switched from the first indication state to the second indication state. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the crossbar 91 is disengaged from the engaging portion 1211, the crossbar 91 no longer pushes against the abutting member 124, the abutting member 124 no longer generates a driving force to the indication member 123, and the indication member 123 moves from the second indication state to the first indication state under the elastic force of the second resilient member 125, and drives the indication member 123 to move by the engagement of the first driving bevel 1231 and the second driving bevel 1242.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 12, the second resilient member 125 is a spring. The second resilient member 125 is accommodated within the accommodating cavity 112 and is disposed between the inner walls of the indication member 123 and the engaging base 11. the unlocking member 121 is provided with two connecting portions 1212, which are arranged opposite and spaced apart. A part of the indication member 123 and the second resilient member 125 are located between the two connecting portion 1212, and the indication member 123 is movable between the two connecting portions 1212. An end of the second resilient member 125 abuts against the indication member 123, and the other end of the second resilient member 125 abuts against the inner wall of the engaging base 11 to bias the indication member 123 toward one of the two connecting portion 1212.
As shown in FIG. 11, the engaging device 1 further includes a second engaging mechanism 14, which includes an engaging member 141 and a resilient arm 142. The engaging member 141 is connected to the carrier base 211 and forms a mounting groove 15 with the carrier base 211 for insertion of at least part of the engaging base 11. The engaging member 141 is provided with a first engaging hole 1411. A surface of the carrier base 211 for carrying the infant is the first side surface 2111, and a surface of the carrier base 211 facing away from the first side surface 2111 is the second side surface 2112. The engaging member 141 is disposed on the second side surface 2112 of the carrier base 211. Thus, when the high chair 2 is used alone, the engaging member 141 can be detached from the carrier base 211, thereby preventing the engaging member 141 from hindering the use of the high chair 2 by the infant. The resilient arm 142 is connected to the engaging base 11, and the resilient arm 142 is provided with a first engaging projection 1421 capable of being engaged with the first engaging hole 1411. Specifically, the engaging base 11 has an opening groove 118. An end of the resilient arm 142 is connected to the groove wall of the opening groove 118, and another end of the resilient arm 142 is provided with a first engaging projection 1421. The first engaging projection 1421 has an engaged position, in which the first engaging projection 1421 protrudes from the opening groove 118, and a retracted position, in which the first engaging projection 1421 does not protrude from the opening groove 118. When the first engaging projection 1421 is in the engaged position, the first engaging projection 1421 is adapted to be engaged with the first engaging hole 1411. During insertion of the engaging base 11 into the mounting groove 15, the engaging member 141 is capable of pushing against the first engaging projection 1421, so that the first engaging projection 1421 moves to the retracted position, in this case, the resilient arm 142 is elastically deformed. The resilient arm 142 is adapted to bias the first engaging projection 1421 to move the first engaging projection 1421 to the engaged position, so that after the engaging base 11 is inserted into the mounting groove 15 in place, the first engaging projection 1421 is capable of being engaged with the first engaging hole 1411 under the elastic deformation of the resilient arm 142. In this embodiment, the clamping slot 111 includes a first side wall 1112 and a second side wall 1111. The second side wall 1111 is adapted to abut against the first side surface 2111, and the first side wall 1112 is adapted to abut against the second side surface 2112. The resilient arm 142 is provided on the first side wall 1112. When at least a part of the carrier base 211 is engaged with the clamping slot 111, at least a part of the second side wall 1112 is inserted into the mounting groove 15, the resilient arm 142 enters the mounting groove 15, and the first engaging projection 1421 is engaged with the first engaging hole 1411. By providing the second engaging mechanism 14, it is possible to more firmly connect the engaging base 11 to the carrier base 211, and it is also possible to quickly fix the engaging base 11 to the carrier base 211.
In this embodiment, a specific process of fixedly connecting the engaging device 1 to the baby carrier 9 and the high chair 2, respectively, is as follows:
First, as shown in FIG. 11, after the engaging member 141 is fixed to the carrier base 211, the carrier base 211 is engaged in the clamping slot 111. At this time, as the second side wall 1112 is inserted into the mounting groove 15, the first engaging projection 1421 is engaged in the first engaging hole 1411, so that the engaging device 1 is fixedly connected to the high chair 2.
Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the baby carrier 9 is moved toward the carrier base 211, and the crossbar 91 pushes against the wedge surface 1214 of the unlocking member 121 and thus pivots the unlocking member 121 to the second position as the baby carrier 9 approaches the first engaging mechanism 12. Continuing to move the baby carrier 9 toward carrier base 211, the crossbar 91 remains abutting against the unlocking member 121 such that the unlocking member 121 remains in the second position while the crossbar 91 pushing the abutting member 124 to move and drives the indication member 123 from the first indication state to the second indication state by the engagement of the second driving bevel 1242 with the first driving bevel 1231. When the crossbar 91 moves along the wedge surface 1214 to the engaging slot 15, the crossbar 91 drives the indication member 123 to move to the second indication state through the abutting member 124, and the crossbar 91 no longer abuts against the wedge surface 1214. As shown in FIG. 10, when the unlocking member 121 is pivoted from the second position to the first position under the elastic force of the first resilient member 122, the first engaging surface 1213 is engaged with the crossbar 91, and the unlocking member 121 is in the locked state, so that the crossbar 91 is engaged between the engaging portion 1211 and the abutting member 124.
The process for disconnecting the engaging device 1 from the baby carrier 9 and the high chair 2 respectively is as follows:
First, as shown in FIG. 10, an external force may be applied to the unlocking member 121 so that it pivots from the first position to the second position, so that the crossbar 91 and the unlocking member 121 are disengaged, thereby disconnecting the baby carrier 9 and the engaging device 1, as shown in FIG. 9. When the crossbar 91 is disengaged from the engaging device 1 and the external force applied to the unlocking member 121 is removed, the unlocking member 121 returns from the second position to the first position, that is, the unlocking member 121 returns to the unlocked state (in this case, the unlocking member 121 is in the unlocked state) under the elastic force of the first resilient member 122, as shown in FIG. 8. At the same time, under the elastic force of the second resilient member 125, the indication member 123 moves from the second indication state to the first indication state, and under the engagement of the first driving bevel 1231 and the second driving bevel 1242, the abutting member 124 is driven to move in a direction close to the first engaging surface 1213 until the abutting end 1241 abuts against the first engaging surface 1213, that is, the abutting member 124 moves to the extended position. In other embodiments, when the abutting member 124 is in the extended position, the abutting end 1241 may not abut against the first engaging surface 1213, that is, the abutting end 1241 and the first engaging surface 1213 may be spaced apart.
Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the first engaging projection 1421 may exit the first engaging hole 1411 by pressing. When the first engaging projection 1421 exits the first engaging hole 1411, the clamping slot 111 can be disengaged from the carrier base 211 by an external force applied to the engaging base 11, thereby disconnecting the engaging base 11 and the carrier base 211.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the infant seat assembly may also include a third engaging mechanism 3, through which the baby carrier 9 can be detachably connected to the backrest 212. In this embodiment, the third engaging mechanism 3 includes an engaging groove 32, a locking hook member 31, a decorative cover 33, and a third resilient member 34. The engaging groove 32 is disposed on the backrest 212. A side wall of the engaging groove 32 is provided with a first protruding portion 321, which is spaced apart from a bottom wall 322 of the engaging groove 32 to form a locking hook groove 325. The locking hook member 31 is disposed at the baby carrier 9. The locking hook member 31 has a hook body 311 adapted to be engaged in the locking hook groove 325 to fix the locking hook member 31 in the engaging groove 32. Specifically, the locking hook member 31 and the crossbar 91 are disposed on a front side and a rear side of the baby carrier 9, respectively. For example, the crossbar 91 is disposed on the front side of the baby carrier 9, and the locking hook member 31 is disposed on the rear side of the baby carrier 9.
Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the backrest 212 includes a first back plate 2121 and a second back plate 2122 connected to each other. The engaging groove 32 includes a first hole portion 32a disposed on the first back plate 2121 and a second hole portion 32b disposed on the second back plate 2122. A bottom wall 322 of the second hole portion 32b forms a bottom wall of the engaging groove 32. A sidewall of the first hole portion 32a protrudes from a sidewall of the second hole portion 32b, so as to form a first protruding portion 321.
Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the decorative cover 33 is movably provided in the engaging groove 32, and when the hook body 311 (see FIG. 15) is not engaged in the locking hook groove 325, the decorative cover 33 is capable of closing a notch of the engaging groove 32. The decorative cover 33 has a first end 331 away from the bottom wall 322 of the engaging groove 32 and a second end 332 facing toward the bottom wall 322 of the engaging groove 32. The second end 332 is provided with a second protruding portion 333 located between the bottom wall 322 and the first protruding portion 321 of the engaging groove 32. The second protruding portion 333 is adapted to abut against the first protruding portion 321 to limit the decorative cover 33 within the engaging groove 32. In the present embodiment, the decorative cover 33 is an integral molding member. The first protruding portion 321 is formed by connecting the first back plate 2121 to the second back plate 2122, so that the decorative cover 33 can be conveniently mounted in the engaging groove 32.
Further, the decorative cover 33 is switchable between a third position and a fourth position. When decorative cover 33 is in the third position, the second protruding portion 333 abuts against the first protruding portion 321, and the first end 331 is flush with a surface of backrest 212 to cover the notch of the engaging groove 32. In this way, on the one hand, external objects can be prevented from falling into the engaging groove 32, on the other hand, the appearance of the high chair 2 can be made neater and more beautiful, and the entrapment can be avoided. When the decorative cover 33 is in the fourth position, the first end 331 and the first protruding portion 321 are spaced apart so that the hook body 311 is capable of being engaged in the locking hook groove 325, thereby enabling the baby carrier 9 to be fixedly connected to the backrest 212.
As shown in FIG. 14, the third resilient member 34 is disposed between the bottom wall 322 of the engaging groove 32 and the decorative cover 33, and the third resilient member 34 is adapted to bias the decorative cover 33, so that the decorative cover 33 moves to the third position. The third resilient member 34 includes a spring. Specifically, the bottom wall 322 of the engaging groove 32 may be provided with a third protruding portion 323, which is provided with a receiving hole 324. The decorative cover 33 may have a fourth protruding portion 334 disposed facing toward the receiving hole 324. An end of the third resilient member 34 is sleeved on the third protruding portion 323, and another end of the third resilient member 34 is inserted into the receiving hole 324 to prevent the third resilient member 34 from shifting during deformation.

The connecting base 231 is provided with a guide groove 2313. A part of the operating member 235 is accommodated in the guide groove 2313 and movable along the guide groove 2313. The guide groove 2313 is in communication with the strip hole 2312 and extending in a direction parallel to the first predetermined direction D1. The operating member 235 has an operating surface provided with a non-slip pattern 2351 so as to move the operating member 235 by pushing against the operating surface. In this embodiment, the direction D1 is a direction toward the backrest 212.
The operation principle of first adjusting mechanism 23a is described in detail below:
As shown in FIG. 18, when the relative positions of the carrier base 211 and the side plate 213 need to be adjusted, the operating member 235 can be pushed in the direction D1, and the operating member 235 drives the driving member 233 to move in the direction D1, and the second abutting bevel 2323 pushes against the first abutting bevel 23321 in the direction D1, so that the locking member 232 pivots toward the R1 direction (counterclockwise in this embodiment) against the elastic force of the fourth resetting member 234. Thus, the locking portion 2321 is disengaged from one of the plurality of locking holes 236, thereby enabling the carrier base 211 to move relative to the side plate 213. When the carrier base 211 is moved to the desired position, the operating member 235 is released, that is, the external force applied to the operating member 235 is removed, and the locking member 232 pivots in a reverse direction of R1 under the elastic force of the fourth resetting member 234, so that the locking portion 2321 is re-engaged with another of the plurality of locking holes 236, and the driving member 233 is returned to the initial position in the direction D1 by the driving engagement of the first abutting bevel 23321 and the second abutting bevel 2323, thereby driving the operating member 235 to return to the initial position together.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 16, the high chair 2 further includes a pedal 24 located between two support brackets 22. The pedal 24 is movable relative to the two support brackets 22. Specifically, the pedal 24 is movably connected between the two front support brackets 221. In this embodiment, the first component may be the support bracket 22 and the second component may be the pedal 24. The predetermined direction is the direction D2 or the reverse direction of the direction D2 in which the pedal 24 is relatively away from or close to the carrier base 211, that is, the up-down direction in FIG. 21. The adjusting mechanism includes a second adjusting mechanism 23b. The pedal 24 is connected to two support brackets 22 through two second adjusting mechanisms 23b respectively and movable through the second adjusting mechanism 23b in the second predetermined direction D2.
Referring to FIGS. 20 and 21, the structures of the second adjusting mechanism 23b and the first adjusting mechanism 23a are substantially identical, and each includes a connecting base 231, a locking member 232, a driving member 233, a fourth resetting member 234, an operating member 235, and a plurality of locking holes 236. The second adjusting mechanism 23b differs from the first adjusting mechanism 23a in that the connecting base 231 of the second adjusting mechanism 23b is fixedly connected to the pedal 24 and movably connected to the support bracket 22, and a plurality of locking holes 236 are provided on the support bracket 22 so that the pedal 24 can be releasably connected to the support bracket 22. Specifically, a second strip groove 225 is disposed on the support bracket 22. A part of the connecting base 231 is accommodated within and movable along the second strip groove 225. A second strip block 226 is provided in the second strip groove 225, and the second strip block 226 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the second strip groove 225. A plurality of locking holes 236 are provided on the second strip block 226 and in communication with the second strip groove 225. For the operation principle of the second adjusting mechanism 23b, reference may be made to the operation principle of the first adjusting mechanism 23a, and details are not described herein.
In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 2, 22, and 23, the infant seat assembly further includes a dinner plate 4 and a blocking member 5. The blocking member 5 is capable of limiting the infant to the carrier base 211 of the high chair 2, and prevent the infant from accidentally falling out of the gap between the dinner plate 4 and the carrier base 211. The engaging device 1 is not connected to the high chair 2 when the infant seat assembly is in the second use mode. An end of the blocking member 5 is connected to the dinner plate 4 and the other end of the blocking member 5 is detachably connected to the carrier base 211.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, the other end of the blocking member 5 is provided with a resilient finger 51. An end of the resilient finger 51 is a free end 513 and extends toward the dinner plate 4. The resilient finger 51 has a second engaging projection 511, and the carrier base 211 has a second engaging hole 2113 disposed therethrough. The second engaging projection 511 passes through the carrier base 211 through the second engaging hole 2113 and abuts against an end face of the carrier base 211 opposite to the dinner plate 4 (i.e., the second side surface 2112 of the carrier base 211), so as to be detachably connected to the carrier base 211. The resilient finger 51 also has an operating projection 512 disposed close to the free end 513 relative to the second engaging projection 511, and the operating projection 512 is depressible. When the resilient finger 51 is inserted into the second engaging hole 2113, the operating projection 512 is located between the dinner plate 4 and the first side surface 2111 of the carrier base, so as to facilitate pressing of the operating projection 512. The blocking member 5 also has a limiting projection 52 capable of abutting the first side surface 2111 of the carrier base 211 to prevent the dinner plate 4 from moving excessively toward the carrier base 211. When the dinner plate 4 needs to be removed, the resilient finger 51 is deformed by pressing the resilient finger 51 (specifically, the operating projection 512 of the resilient finger 51), so that the second engaging projection 511 and the second side surface 2112 is disengaged from each other, whereby the blocking member 5 can be removed from the second engaging hole 2113, so that the dinner plate 4 and the blocking member 5 can be removed.
The engaging device 1 and the infant seat assembly have at least the following technical effects:
By connecting the engaging device 1 to the crossbar 91 of the baby carrier 9 and the carrier base 211 of the high chair 2, respectively, the baby carrier 9 can be easily and stably fixed to the high chair 2, so that a caregiver can conveniently and stably take care of an infant while eating a meal, and the infant can also conveniently share a meal with the caregiver.
Moreover, the carrier base 211 is slidable with respect to the side plate 213 to adjust the seating space of the high chair 2 (i.e., a space formed by enclosing the carrier base 211, the backrest 212, the side plate 213, and the like), so that the carrier base 211 can be applied to children of different sizes or ages, and the carrier base 211 can be adapted to mount baby carrier 9 of different sizes.
In the aforementioned engaging device and the infant seat assembly, by connecting the engaging device to the crossbar of the baby carrier and the carrier base of the high chair, respectively, the baby carrier can be easily and stably fixed to the high chair, thereby facilitating the care of the infant by the caregiver during the meal, and facilitating the infant to have a meal with the caregiver.
