DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Although the present disclosure is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof are shown by way of example in the drawings. However, the present disclosure should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein, but on the contrary, the present disclosure is to cover all modifications, equivalent solutions, and alternative solutions falling within the spirit and scope of the embodiments.

The present disclosure aims to provide an infant carrycot, which may selectively be in a first use mode or a second use mode. In the second use mode of being placed on a child bed for use, effective height of foot rods of the infant carrycot can be reduced; and the infant carrycot is further provided with engagement structures engaged with the child bed, and thus can be more stably engaged with the child bed for use, which can improve the overall user experience and satisfaction of the infant carrycot.

According to the present disclosure, the infant carrycot can selectively be in the first use mode or the second use mode, which can improve use flexibility. Furthermore, when the infant carrycot is in the second use mode, the infant carrycot is further provided with the engagement mechanism capable of being engaged onto the handrail of the child bed, so that the infant carrycot can be more stably placed on the child bed for use, which can improve safety and user experience.

First, referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 shows a schematic structure of an infant carrycot 10 and support assemblies 40 according to the present disclosure. The infant carrycot 10 generally includes an upper frame 12 and foot rods 13 connected to the upper frame 12. The foot rods 13 are independently supported on a support surface or supported on the support surface by being connected to other structures, and the support surface may be, for example, the ground. In addition, a canopy assembly 11 may optionally be connected to the upper frame 12, and the canopy assembly 11 includes a canopy bar 111 and a canopy fabric 112 covering the canopy bar 111. According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the canopy bar 111 is in an inverted U-shape, two free ends of the canopy bar 111 are pivotally connected to the upper frame 12, and the canopy fabric 112 covers the canopy bar 111 and a portion of the upper frame 12. In this way, the canopy assembly 11 may be in an unfolded use state or in a folded state according to different needs of a user. In addition, an enclosure assembly 15 is also connected to the upper frame 12 and extends from the upper frame 12 toward the support surface, thereby forming an accommodating space opened toward the upper frame, in which a child may rest and sleep. According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the enclosure assembly 15 includes a bottom plate 152 and an enclosure fabric 151, the bottom plate 152 is parallel to the support surface, and the enclosure fabric 151 covers the bottom plate 152 and the upper frame 12. In order to obtain better visibility, side portions of the enclosure fabric 151 (i.e., portions located between the upper frame 12 and the bottom plate 152) may be made of a transparent or semi-transparent material (such as mesh), which is not limited thereto.

Subsequently, two use states of the infant carrycot 10 according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. In order to more clearly show the mutual positional relationship of various components, the illustrations of the canopy fabric 112 and the enclosure fabric 151 are omitted in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in which the infant carrycot 10 as shown in FIG. 2 is in a first use mode, and the infant carrycot 10 as shown in FIG. 3 is in a second use mode.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the infant carrycot 10 is in the first use mode, the foot rods 13 are connected to the support assemblies 40, so that the infant carrycot 10 may be placed on the support surface for use through the support assemblies 40. According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the support assemblies 40 includes support feet 42 and support rods 44 connected to each other or integrally formed. When the infant carrycot 10 is in the first use mode, lower ends (ends close to the support surface) of the foot rods 13 may be connected to the support rods 44 of the support assemblies 40, and the support feet 42 of the support assemblies 40 are supported on the support surface. Upper ends (ends away from the support surface) of the foot rods 13 may be directly connected to the upper frame 12, or may be connected to the upper frame 12 via fixing members 17.

In the second use mode shown in FIG. 3, the infant carrycot 10 is placed on a child bed 20 for use. At this time, the foot rods 13 of the infant carrycot 10 are detached from the support rods 44 of the support assemblies 40, and the infant carrycot 10 is engaged with the child bed 20 through engagement mechanisms 19. In the embodiment of FIG. 3, for example, a diaper changing table 30 may also be placed on the child bed 20, and the diaper changing table 30 and the infant carrycot 10 are placed side by side on the child bed 20, which can facilitate operation.

In this embodiment, optionally, the foot rods 13 of the infant carrycot 10 are rotatable relative to the upper frame 12. When the infant carrycot 10 is in the first use mode, the foot rods 13 are in an unfolded state relative to the upper frame 12 (i.e., the foot rods 13 are approximately perpendicular to the upper frame 12, as shown in FIG. 5); and when the infant carrycot 10 is in the second use mode, the foot rods 13 are in a folded state relative to the upper frame 12 (i.e., the foot rods 13 are rotated relative to the upper frame 12 to a position approximately parallel to the upper frame 12, as shown in FIG. 7). In an embodiment where the foot rods 13 are connected to the upper frame 12 through the fixing members 17, the foot rods 13 are rotatably connected to the fixing member 17 and perform the above-mentioned unfolding and folding actions relative to the fixing members 17. In this way, when the infant carrycot 10 is in the second use mode, effective height of the foot rods 13 can be reduced by folding the foot rods 13 relative to the upper frame or the fixing members 17, so that an overall height of the infant carrycot 10 can be reduced. Here, the effective height of the foot rods 13 refers to an increased height of the infant carrycot 10 caused by the existence of the foot rods 13 when the infant carrycot 10 is in a use mode, that is, the effective height of the foot rods 13 is a distance from a lowest point of the foot rods 13 to lower ends of the fixing members 17. In FIG. 5, the effective height of the foot rods 13 is H1, and in FIG. 7, the effective height of the foot rods 13 is H2, which is significantly lower than the effective height H1 shown in FIG. 5.

Certainly, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In one modified embodiment, the foot rods 13 are in a structure of a telescopic rod. In this case, in the first use mode, the foot rods 13 of the infant carrycot 10 are in an unfolded state relative to the upper frame 12; in the second use mode, the foot rods 13 itself performs telescopic movement to shorten a length of the foot rods 13. In another modified embodiment, the foot rods 13 is detachably connected to the upper frame 12 or the fixing member 17. In this case, in the first use mode, the foot rods 13 of the infant carrycot 10 is in an unfolded state relative to the upper frame 12; in the second use mode, the foot rods 13 may be detached from the upper frame 12 or from the fixing members 17. In another modified embodiment, the foot rods 13 are fixedly connected to the upper frame 12 or integrally formed with the upper frame 12 and extend substantially downward from the upper frame 12 to the unfolded state. In this case, in the first use mode, the foot rods 13 of the infant carrycot 10 are in the unfolded state relative to the upper frame 12; in the second use mode, the infant carrycot 10 is engaged with the child bed 20 through the engagement mechanisms 19 without rotating, folding, or detaching the foot rods 13. In yet another modified embodiment, a length of the foot rods 13 is relatively long, so that in the first use mode, the foot rods 13 of the infant carrycot 10 are directly supported on the ground without being supported on the ground through the support assemblies 40; and in the second use mode, the foot rods 13 of the infant carrycot 10 are rotated and folded or detached from the upper frame 12 or from the fixing members 17.

In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, there are four foot rods 13 and four fixing members 17, and there are two support assemblies 40. Each support assembly 40 includes one support foot 42 and two support rods 44. The two support rods 44 are combined on one support foot 42 and then integrally formed into a U-shape, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The foot rods 13, the fixing members 17, and the support assemblies 40 may also be correspondingly set to three. The number of the support feet 42 and the support rods 44 of the support assemblies 40 may also correspond one-to-one.

FIG. 4 shows the infant carrycot 10 in the second use mode. It can be clearly seen that the support assembly 40 has been detached from the foot rods 13 and the foot rods 13 have been rotated and folded relative to the fixing members 17. A dimension of the foot rods 13 in a height direction (i.e., a H direction shown in FIG. 4), that is its effective height, is shortened, and thus the overall height of the infant carrycot 10 can be effectively reduced, which makes it more stable when the infant carrycot is placed on the child bed 20. In addition, when the infant carrycot 10 is engaged onto the child bed 20, the foot rods 13 with the shortened dimension in the height direction can further prevent a child lying in the infant carrycot 10 from being injured by colliding with the lower ends of the foot rods 13.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, when the infant carrycot 10 is in the second use mode, the infant carrycot 10 may be engaged (or snapped) onto the handrails 21 of the child bed 20 through the engagement mechanisms 19 (referring to FIG. 3 in combination), so that the infant carrycot 10 can be more stably and firmly engaged onto the child bed 20, avoiding the risk of tipping over and improving safety.

In this embodiment, optionally, the infant carrycot 10 further includes locking mechanisms 18 for locking and unlocking the rotation of the foot rods 13 relative to the upper frame 12. The locking mechanisms 18 of the infant carrycot 10 according to the present disclosure will be described below with reference to FIG. 5, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7. The locking mechanisms 18 are slidably disposed at ends of the foot rods 13, and the foot rods 13 may be rotated and folded relative to the upper frame 12 through the locking mechanisms 18. Specifically, the locking mechanisms 18 includes a locking member 181, and correspondingly, each of the fixing members 17 includes a locked member 171. When the locking members 181 are locked with the locked members 171, the foot rods 13 may not be folded relative to the fixing members 17, and when the locking members 181 are not locked with the locked members 171, the foot rods 13 are in an unlocked state, and at this time, the foot rods 13 may be rotated and folded relative to the fixing member 17. According to embodiments not shown, the foot rods 13 may also be directly rotated and folded relative to the upper frame 12, as long as the locked member are disposed on the upper frame 12. In other modified embodiments, the infant carrycot 10 may not be provided with the fixing members 17, the foot rods 13 may be directly and rotatably connected to the upper frame 12, and the locking mechanisms 18 may be directly disposed between the upper frame 12 and the foot rods 13. In this case, the locked members may be disposed on the upper frame 12.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, one end of the fixing member 17 is connected to the upper frame 12, the other end of the fixing member 17 is connected to the foot rod 13, and the fixing member 17 is provided with the locked member 171. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the locked member 171 is in a form of a groove, and correspondingly, the locking member 181 is in a form of a protrusion, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The locking mechanism 18 is further provided with an operating member 182, which is connected to or integrally formed with the locking member 181, and the operating member 182 may be exposed out of the foot rod 13 for ease of operation. The locking member 181 may be operated through the operating member 182 to move and be disengaged from a locked state with the locked member 171. That is, when the operating member 182 is operated, the locking member 181 may slide, for example, downward along the foot rod 13 (as shown by an arrow direction in FIG. 5) driven by the operating member 182, thereby disengaging from the locking with the locked member 171. In order to slide the locking members 181 relative to the foot rods 13, each of the locking members 181 is provided with a sliding slot 1811, and each of the foot rods 13 is provided with a sliding member 183. The locking members 181 are slidable relative to the foot rods 13 through relative sliding of the sliding members 183 in the sliding slots 1811. According to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 5-7, the sliding member 183 may be in the form of a rod, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In this embodiment, optionally, each of the locking mechanisms 18 are further provided with a first resetting member 184, and the first resetting member 184 is disposed between the locking member 181 and the foot rod 13, so that the locking member 182 is always in the locked state with the locked member 171. In this embodiment, the first resetting member 184 is in a form of a spring, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the first resetting member 184 may also be of other structures with elasticity, such as a spring piece, an elastic block, etc.

When the infant carrycot 10 is in the first use mode, the locking members 181 are locked in the locked members 171, as shown in FIG. 5. At this time, the foot rods 13 and the fixing members 17 may not be folded. When the infant carrycot 10 needs to be switched from the first use mode to the second use mode, the operating member 182 may be pulled downward in a direction shown by the arrow in FIG. 5, and the locking member 181 is driven by the operating member 182 to also slide downward along a direction of the arrow. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, the locking members 181 are disengaged from the locked members 171, so that the user can rotate and fold the foot rods 13 relative to the fixing members 17. The state in which the foot rods 13 is rotated and folded is as shown in FIG. 7, in which the foot rods 13 are substantially parallel to the upper frame 12. At this time, the locking members 181 cooperates with a limiting member 172 of the fixing member 17 to maintain the foot rods 13 in this folded state. When the infant carrycot 10 needs to be switched from the second use mode to the first use mode again, the user only needs to rotate and unfold the foot rods 13 relative to the fixing member 17 to disengage the locking member 181 from the cooperation with the limiting member 172. At this time, under the action of the first resetting members 184, the locking members 181 slide upward in a direction opposite to the arrow in FIG. 5 and are locked in the locked member 171 again, thereby maintaining the foot rods 13 in the unfolded position. The limiting member 172 may be, for example, in the form of a limiting protrusion.

The infant carrycot 10 according to the present disclosure may change its overall height in different use modes to meet different use requirements. When the infant carrycot is placed on the child bed 20, the overall height of the infant carrycot 10 can be reduced, the stability can be improved, and the foot rods 13 move relative to the upper frame 12 to shorten the effective height of the foot rods 13, to avoid a child lying in the infant carrycot 10 from being injured by colliding with the lower ends of the foot rods 13.

In this embodiment, optionally, the infant carrycot 10 is connected to the support assemblies 40 through detachable devices 16. The detachable devices 16 according to the present disclosure will be described below with reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A in FIG. 8. The foot rod 13 is detachably connectable to the support rod 44 of the support assembly 40. Both the foot rod 13 and the support rod 44 may be circular tubes or rectangular tubes, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The foot rod 13 is detachably connected to the support rod 44 through the detachable device 16. According to the embodiments shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, at least the ends of the foot rod 13 and the support rod 44 connected to each other are hollow tubes. With the side close to the support surface being down and the side away from the support surface being up in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the upper end of the support rod 44 is sleeved inside the lower end of the foot rods 13, certainly, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the upper end of the support rod 44 may also be sleeved outside the lower end of the foot rods 13. As shown in FIG. 9, the foot rod 13 is provided with a first connecting hole 131, the support rod 44 is provided with a second connecting hole 441, and the first connecting hole 131 and the second connecting hole 441 are aligned with each other. The detachable device 16 is disposed inside the foot rod 13 and the support rod 44, and includes an abutting portion 161 and a protruding portion 162. The abutting portion 161 and the protruding portion 162 may be integrally formed or connected to each other. The protruding portion 162 simultaneously passes through the first connecting hole 131 and the second connecting hole 441 and is exposed out of the support rod 44. The abutting portion 161 is elastic and abuts against an inner wall of the support rod 44, so that connection between the foot rod 13 and the support rod 44 can be realized through the detachable device 16. When the foot rod 13 and the support rod 44 are connected to each other, the infant carrycot 10 is in the first use mode. When the infant carrycot 10 needs to be in the second use mode, for example, the protruding portion 162 of the detachable device 16 may be pressed from the outside to retract the protruding portion 162. When the protruding portion 162 is retracted from the first connecting hole 131 of the foot rod 13 and the second connecting hole 441 of the support rod 44, the support rod 44 may be detached from the foot rod 13.

In this embodiment, the detachable device 16 is in a form of a spring leaf. In other embodiments, the detachable device 16 may be in other structures. In addition, an engagement structure may be further disposed inside the foot rod 13 and the support rod 44 to be better engaged with the detachable device 16.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the infant carrycot 10 may further include engagement mechanisms 19 for engaging the infant carrycot 10 to the child bed 20 in the second use mode.

Correspondingly, a corresponding positioning rib 192 is further disposed on an inner side surface of the engagement slot 191 of the engagement mechanism 19. When the engagement slot 191 is engaged onto the handrail 21 of the child bed 20, the positioning rib 192 is matched with the positioning slot 211 on the handrail 21, so that the infant carrycot 10 may be positioned at a proper position on the child bed 20. FIG. 11 shows that the positioning rib 192 is disposed only on one inner side surface of the engagement slot 191, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the positioning rib 192 may also be disposed on both side surfaces of the engagement slots 191. Obviously, a plurality of positioning ribs 192 may also be disposed on one inner side surface of the engagement slot 191.

Subsequently, a specific structure of the engagement mechanism 19 will be further described with reference to FIG. 12, FIG. 13, and FIG. 14. FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B of FIG. 12, and FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view taken along line C-C of FIG. 12. As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the engagement mechanism 19 includes an upper cover 193 and a lower cover 194. The upper cover 193 and the lower cover 194 may be connected to each other through a connecting member, or may be integrally formed by injection molding. The upper cover 193 and the lower cover 194 constitute a body of the engagement mechanism 19. The aforementioned engagement slot 191 is disposed on a lower cover of the engagement mechanism 19. The engagement mechanism 19 is engaged onto the handrail 21 of the child bed 20 through the engagement slot 191. An upper portion of the lower cover 194 of the engagement mechanism 19 is engaged onto the upper frame 12 of the infant carrycot 10. For example, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, an engagement hole 199 may be provided in the upper portion of the lower cover 194 to sleeve the engagement mechanism 19 onto the upper frame 12. Certainly, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the aforementioned engagement hole 199 may also be provided on the upper cover 193, or between the upper cover 193 and the lower cover 194.

In this embodiment, optionally, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the engagement mechanism 19 may further be provided with a retaining member 196, and the retaining member 196 is rotatably connected to the body of the engagement mechanism 19, for example, connected to the lower cover 194 of the engagement mechanism 19. When the infant carrycot 10 is in the second use mode, the retaining member 196 extends from the engagement slot 191 to abut against the lower side of the handrail 21 of the child bed 20, such that the handrail 21 of the child bed 20 is retained in the engagement slot 191 and may not be disengaged from the engagement slot 191, so that the infant carrycot 10 can be maintained in the second use mode.

Optionally, the engagement mechanism 19 may further be provided with an unlocking member 195, and the unlocking member 195 is connected to the retaining member 196. Rotation of the retaining member 196 may be triggered through movement of the unlocking member 195, so as to unlock the retaining member 196 and release its state of abutting against the lower side of the handrail 21, so that the handrail 21 of the child bed 20 can be disengaged from the engagement slot 191. At this time, the infant carrycot 10 can be detached from the child bed 20.

More specifically, referring to FIG. 15, which schematically shows a specific structure of the retaining member 196 and the unlocking member 195. The retaining member 196 of the engagement mechanism 19 is overall approximately rod-shaped with a fan-shaped cross-section, and includes a pivot shaft 1961, an abutting portion 1962, and an engaging portion 1963. The retaining member 196 is connected to the body of the engagement mechanism 19 (e.g., the lower cover 194) through the pivot shaft 1961, such that the retaining member 196 is rotatable relative to the body of the engagement mechanism 19 within a certain range through the pivot shaft 1961. The engaging portion 1963 of the retaining member 196 is rotated to a position of abutting against the lower side of the handrail 21 of the child bed 20 when the infant carrycot 10 is in the second use mode. The engaging portion 1963 may be an engaging surface, for example, the engaging portion 1963 may be an inclined surface or a curved surface of the retaining member 196 close to the handrail 21. The abutting portion 1962 of the retaining member 196 is used for connecting with the unlocking member 195, and the abutting portion 1962 may be, for example, a recessed part (as shown in FIG. 15), but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The unlocking member 195 includes a triggering portion 1951 and a driving portion 1952. The triggering portion 1951 is exposed from the upper cover 193 so that the triggering portion 1951 may be operated from the outside. The driving portion 1952 is connected to or integrally formed with the triggering portion 1951, and triggering portion 1951 is used to trigger the action of the driving portion 1952. For example, the triggering portion 1951 may be in the form of an unlocking button, and the driving portion 1952 may be in the form of a pushing rod, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The driving portion 1952 abuts against the abutting portion 1962, and movement of the driving portion 1952 in the height direction may drive the rotation of the engaging portion 1963. By pressing the triggering portion 1951 downward along the direction indicated by an arrow in FIG. 15, the downward movement of the triggering portion 1951 may drive the driving portion 1952 to also move downward, and then the abutting portion 1962 of the retaining member 196 is pushed through the driving portion 1952, so that the engaging portion 1963 of the retaining member 196 rotates in a counterclockwise direction as shown in FIG. 15, to allow the engaging portion 1963 to be disengaged from the abutment with the lower side of the handrail 21 to unlock the retaining member 196.

In this embodiment, optionally, the engagement mechanism 19 further include a second resetting member 197 and a third resetting member 198, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 15. The second resetting member 197 may be a spring, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The second resetting member 197 is disposed between the triggering portion 1951 of the unlocking member 195 and the lower cover 194 of the engagement mechanism 19 for resetting the triggering portion 1951. The third resetting member 198 may be a torsion spring, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The third resetting member 198 is disposed between the retaining member 196 and the driving portion 1952 of the unlocking member 195 for resetting the retaining member 196. As mentioned above, when the triggering portion 1951 of the unlocking member 195 is pressed downward along the direction as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 15, the second resetting member 197 may be compressed, and the driving portion 1952 of the unlocking member 195 pushes against the abutting portion 1962 of the retaining member 196. The engaging portion 1963 of the retaining member 196 is rotated through the abutting portion 1962, in the counterclockwise direction as shown in

FIG. 15, and the engaging portion 1963 is thus disengaged from the state of abutting against the lower side of the handrail 21. During this process, the third resetting member 198 is also compressed. Therefore, once the triggering portion 1951 of the unlocking member 195 is released, the engaging portion 1963 and the triggering portion 1951 may be reset through the third resetting member 198 and the second resetting member 197, so that the engaging portion 1963 may enter the locked state of abutting against the lower side of the handrail 21 of the child bed 20.

Through the above-mentioned engagement mechanism 19, in the case that the infant carrycot 10 is placed on the handrail 21 of the child bed 20, more stable and firm support can be obtained and the risk of tipping over can be avoided.

An anti-misuse setting of the infant carrycot 10 according to the present disclosure will be described below with reference to FIG. 16 and FIG. 17. In this embodiment, optionally, the infant carrycot 10 may only be placed on a support surface for use through the support assemblies 40 or other support devices. That is, when the foot rods 13 of the infant carrycot 10 are unfolded, the infant carrycot 10 can be prevented from being directly placed on a support surface (such as the ground) for use without being connected to the support assemblies 40 or other support devices through the anti-misuse setting.

Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, a distance H4 from the upper frame 12 of the infant carrycot 10 to the bottom plate 152 of the enclosure assembly 15 is greater than a distance H3 from the upper frame 12 to the bottom end of the foot rod 13. In this way, when the foot rods 13 of the infant carrycot 10 are unfolded, if the infant carrycot 10 is mistakenly placed directly on the support surface, the bottom plate 152 of the enclosure assembly 15 may be in contact with the support surface, resulting in obvious collapse of the enclosure fabric 151, thereby serving the function of misuse prevention.

The infant carrycot 10 according to the present disclosure can be safely used in the first use mode and the second use mode, providing use flexibility. In addition, the infant carrycot 10 is further provided with the engagement mechanism 19 capable of being engaged onto the handrail 21 of the child bed 20. Therefore, the infant carrycot 10 according to the present disclosure can be stably placed on the child bed 20 for use, avoiding the risk of tipping over and improving safety and user experience.

Since the features of the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms without departing from the characteristics of the present disclosure, it should also be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any details described above, unless otherwise specified, but should be interpreted broadly within the scope defined by the appended claims.
