DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Although the disclosure is illustrated and described herein with reference to specific embodiments, the disclosure should not be limited to the illustrated details. Specifically, various modifications may be made in these details within the scope of equivalents of the claims and without departing from the disclosure.

Directional expressions such as “front,” “rear,” “up,” and “down” involved in this document are only used for the convenience of understanding, and the disclosure is not limited to these directions, but can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

A child safety seat according to the application will be generally described by referring to FIGS. 1A-2.

As shown, the child safety seat includes a base 300 and a seat 200. The base 300 is a part that fixes the entire child safety seat to, for example, a rear seat of a car, and the seat 200 is carried on the base 300 and is used for a child to sit. The seat 200 is mounted on the base 300 through a seat adjustment structure 100, and more specifically, on a rotating disk 310 (see FIG. 3A-3B) located at an upper surface of the base 300. An entire mounting sequence of the child safety seat from top to bottom is roughly the seat 200, the seat adjustment structure 100, and the rotating disk 310, and the base 300. In the application, the seat adjustment structure 100 allows the seat 200 to move with respect to the base 300 in a front-rear direction. Since the seat adjustment structure 100 is mounted on the rotating disk 310, the rotating disk 310 allows the seat 200 to rotate with respect to the base 300 around a longitudinal axis. However, it should be understood, the seat adjustment structure 100 of the application is not necessarily to cooperate with the rotating disk 310, but may be connected to the base 300 through other rotating structure(s) or directly fixed to the base 300.

Now the seat adjustment structure 100 of the application will be described in more detail by referring to FIG. 3A-3B

As shown, the seat adjustment structure 100 includes a plurality of components such as an operating member 110, a seat support 120, engaging members 130, and a locking assembly 140. The operating member 110 is a component located outside the seat 200 for the user to operate. More specifically, the seat 200 includes a seat portion 210 and a back rest 220. The seat portion 210 extends substantially in the longitudinal direction, while the back rest 220 extends from the seat portion 210 at an angle. For example, the back rest 220 extends substantially in the vertical direction. The operating member 110 is operatively coupled to seat portion 210, such that the operating member 110 is easily operated by the user. More specifically, the operating member 110 may be provide at a front edge of the seat portion 210. The seat support 120 is a component fixed to the seat 200 for carrying the seat 200. The engaging members 130 each are a component fixed to the base 300. The locking assembly 140 is fixed to the seat support 120, and is used to lock and unlock a positional relationship between the seat support 120 and the engaging members 130. The operating member 110 is connected to the locking assembly 140 through a cable 190, such that the user can operate the locking assembly 140. In other embodiments, the engaging members 130 may be fixed to the seat support 120, and the locking assembly 140 may be fixed to the base 300.

The operating member 110 is a handle that is inserted into the seat 200 and can move vertically (see FIGS. 6A-7). The cable 190 is connected between the operating member 110 and the locking assembly 140. A guiding member is disposed below the operating member 110 to guide the cable 190 connecting from below the seat 200 to the locking assembly 140 along an arc, and a structure inside the locking assembly 140 can convert a longitudinal motion of the cable 190 (will be described in detail below) to a lateral movement (Y-axis direction). In this way, a vertical movement of the operating member 110 is finally converted into a lateral movement of a locking pin in the locking assembly 140.

The seat support 120 is a tubular component that extends from a bottom of the seat 200 to a back of the seat 200 along an arc trajectory. In this embodiment, the seat support 120 extends substantially horizontally (i.e., extends longitudinally) at the bottom of the seat 200, and gradually transits to extending substantially vertically at the back of the seat 200. In this embodiment, two seat supports 120 are arranged, and they are arranged in parallel on both left and right sides of the seat 200. It should be understood, shape and number of the seat support 120 can be set according to specific requirements of the seat 200, and are not limited to the shape and number in the embodiments of the application.

Each of the engaging members 130 is a sheet-like component that is fixed to the base 300, and includes two side plates 131 extending substantially along an inner direction of the seat support 120 and having a length smaller than that of the seat support 120. In this embodiment, two pairs of engaging members 130 are arranged, where one pair of engaging members 130 is arranged at positions on the bottom of the seat 200 and thus extends substantially longitudinally; and the other pair of engaging members 130 is arranged at positions on the back of the seat 200 and thus extending substantially vertically. In other embodiments, only one pair of engaging members 130 may be arranged. In this embodiment, the locking assembly 140 is only disposed on the engaging members 130 at positions on the bottom, and in other embodiments, the locking assembly 140 may be disposed on each pair of engaging members 130.

Several engaging holes 132 are formed on one of the side plates 131 of each engaging member 130. The engaging holes 132 are arranged along a moving direction (i.e., the longitudinal direction) of the seat 200, and spacing between the engaging holes 132 is arranged so that the engaging holes 132 are suitable for being simultaneously inserted by two foot portions 171 (see FIG. 4-5) of an engaging pin 170 in the locking assembly 140. Sliding slots 133 are arranged above the engaging holes 132. Extending direction of the sliding slots 133 are as same as arrangement directions of the engaging holes 132, and widths of the sliding slots 133 are suitable for being inserted by a crossbar 180 therein. In other embodiments, the sliding slots 133 may also be arranged below the engaging holes 132.

The locking assembly 140 is a box-shaped component that extends between a pair of engaging members 130. The crossbar 180 laterally passes through and is secured to the locking assembly 140, and extends outward from both lateral sides of the locking assembly 140. Both ends of the crossbar 180 are fixed to the seat support 120 by passing through the sliding slots 133 on the engaging members 130. In this way, relative sliding between the engaging members 130 and the locking assembly 140 is allowed through the crossbar 180 and the sliding slots 133, and sliding trajectories of the engaging members 130 are defined.

The rotating disk 310 is below the engaging members 130. The rotating disk 310 is connected to the base 300 through a vertical pivoting shaft 320, so as to rotate around the vertical direction.

In this way, the rotating disk 310 realizes a rotation function of the seat 200, the seat adjustment structure 100 realizes a movement function of the seat 200 along the extending direction of the seat support 120. In the present embodiment, the extending direction of the seat support 120 is an arc, and in other embodiments, the extending direction of the seat support 120 may also be a straight line or in other forms.

Specific structure of the locking assembly 140 will be described by referring to FIGS. 4-5.

As shown, the locking assembly 140 includes a fixed seat 160, a positioning cover 150, a pair of engaging pins 170, resetting elastic members 175, and reinforcing members 166.

The fixed seat 160 extends laterally and includes a bottom wall 161, two side walls 163 on both sides of the lateral direction, and two end walls 162 on both ends of the lateral direction, thereby defining an accommodating space. A cable hole 165 for the cable 190 to pass longitudinally into the accommodating space is disposed at a lateral middle of one of the side walls 163 of the fixed seat 160. Each of the end walls 162 is provided with pin holes 164 and crossbar holes 167. Among them, two pin holes 164 are provided, which are located at lower parts of the end walls 162 and distributed in the longitudinal direction; and two crossbar holes 167 are provided, which are located at upper parts of the end walls 162 and corresponding to the middle positions of the two pin holes 164.

The positioning cover 150 is mounted on the fixed seat 160 and covers the accommodating space. The positioning cover 150 is substantially parallel to the bottom wall 161 of the fixed seat 160 and is positioned between the pin holes 164 and the crossbar holes 167 in the vertical direction. A side of the positioning cover 150 facing the bottom wall 161 is provided with cable guiding portions (not shown) for guiding the cable 190 to extend laterally.

Each of the engaging pins 170 is approximately U-shaped and includes a connecting portion 172 and two foot portions 171. The foot portions 171 respectively extend in the lateral direction, are inserted into the pin holes 164 in the lateral end walls 162 of the fixed seat 160, and can protrude from the locking assembly 140 in order to be inserted into the corresponding engaging holes 132. The connecting portion 172 is connected between the two foot portions 171 and located in the accommodating space, so as to locate the engaging pins 170 in the locking assembly 140.

Each of the resetting elastic members 175 has one end abutting on the fixed seat 160 of the locking assembly 140 or the positioning cover 150, and the other end abutting against the connecting portion 172, to apply a thrust to the engaging pins 170 for them to protrude outward from the locking assembly 140. In this way, the engaging pins 170 tend to protrude from the locking assembly 140.

The reinforcing members 166 are attached to outer sides of the end walls 162 of the fixed seat 160, to strengthen the structure of the locking assembly 140.

One end of the cable 190 is connected to the operating member 110, and the other end of the cable 190 is divided into two branch cables 190 after passing through the cable hole 165. Furthermore, the two branch cables 190 extend laterally via respective cable guiding portions and are connected to the corresponding engaging pins 170. The cable guiding portions are disposed on the side of the positioning cover 150 facing the bottom wall 161. In an embodiment, the cable guiding portions are implemented as cable grooves, and the cable grooves are approximately quarter-circular arc grooves extending curved from the cable hole 165 towards the engaging pins 170 for accommodating the branch cables 190 and defining movement trajectories of the branch cables 190. In another embodiment, the cable guiding portions are implemented as pulleys rotatable around a vertical axis for carrying the branch cables 190 to turn the branch cables 190 from the longitudinal direction to the lateral direction.

In this way, through transmission of the cable 190, when the user pulls the operating member 110 upwards, the engaging pins 170 will retract into the locking assembly 140, thereby unlocking the positional relationship between the locking assembly 140 and the engaging members 130, to allow a longitudinal relative movement between the seat 200 and the base 300. When the user releases the operating member 110, the engaging pins 170 will protrude from the locking assembly 140 to be inserted into the engaging members 130, thereby locking the longitudinal relative movement between the seat 200 and the base 300.

Referring to FIGS. 6A-6B, advantages of the seat adjustment structure of the application will be described.

In FIG. 6A, the seat 200 is at a position facing the front of the base 300 (right in the figure), and in FIG. 6B, the seat 200 is at a position facing the rear of the base 300 (left in the figure). It can be seen, no matter which direction the seat 200 is rotated to face, the user can easily pull the operating member 110 to unlock the longitudinal relative movement between the seat 200 and the base 300. However, in some designs of the prior art, since the operating member connected to the locking assembly is designed to be in the same direction as the moving direction of the seat, i.e., the user has to pull or push the operating member along the longitudinal direction, accordingly, when the seat is facings rearward, the user's pulling or pushing of the operating member may interfere with the backrest of the rear seat of the car, so it may be difficult for the user to use the operating member.

The positional relationship between the locking assembly 140 and the engaging members 130 can also be seen from FIGS. 6A-6B. Since each engaging member 130 is provided with a plurality of engaging holes 132, the locking assembly 140 can lock the seat 200 at different positions in the longitudinal direction.
