DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0322] First Embodiment
[0323] FIG. 1 to FIG. 13 illustratively show the baby carrier according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. In the first embodiment, the baby carrier is described by taking a baby dining chair as an example, but the type of baby carrier is not limited to the baby dining chair. For example, in some embodiments, the baby carrier is, for example, a stroller or any other suitable product. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the baby carrier includes a main frame 1, a swing bracket assembly 2, and a seat 3. The main frame 1 is supported by the ground. The swing bracket assembly 2 is connected to the main frame 1 and configured to swing backwards and forwards relative to the main frame 1. The seat 3 is pivotally connected to the main frame 1 through the swing bracket assembly 2, so that the seat can swing backwards and forwards relative to the main frame 1.
[0324] It should be understood that the main frame 1 may have different forms, which depend on the types of the baby carriers. For example, when the baby carrier is the baby dining chair, the main frame 1 is a high chair frame, and when the baby carrier is the stroller, the main frame 1 is a movable frame with rollers arranged at the bottom. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, in the first embodiment, the main frame 1 is the high chair frame, which includes two front foot supports 101 arranged at intervals in the left and right directions, and two rear foot supports 102 arranged at intervals in the left and right directions. Lower ends of the two front foot supports 101 are connected by a front cross bar 1031, and lower ends of the two rear foot supports 102 are connected by a rear cross bar 1032. An upper end of the front foot support 101 and an upper end of the rear foot support 102, which are located at the same side, are connected through a folding member 104, and the folding member 104 may control the front foot support 101 and the rear foot support 102 to be folded or to be unfolded. The structure of the main frame 1 is not limited to such a structure. For example, in some embodiments, the front foot support 101 and the rear foot support 102 are fixedly connected to each other and have no folded states.
[0325] A support pipe 11 is arranged on an upper part of a corresponding front foot support 101, and the support pipe 11 is configured to be connected to the swing bracket assembly 2. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, in the first embodiment, the support pipe 11 extends upwards relative to the upper end of the front foot support 101, and an extension direction of the support pipe 11 is the same as the extension direction of the front foot support 101. In some embodiments, the support pipe 11 and the front foot support 101 are an integral structure, or the support pipe 11 is sleeved in a tubular part of the front foot support 101. When the support pipe 11 is sleeved in the tubular part of the front foot support 101, the support pipe 11, for example, may be extendable and retractable relative to the front foot support 101, and a height adjustment structure is also arranged between the support pipe 11 and the front foot support 101 and configured to lock a position of the extendable and retractable support pipe 11 relative to the front foot support 101, so that a user can adjust the height of the seat 3 supported by the swing bracket assembly 2 as needed. For the height adjustment structure, reference may be made to related technologies. The height adjustment structure is not the focus of the present invention and will not be described repeatedly hereinafter. It should be noted that, although the support pipe 11 in the first embodiment is installed on the upper end of the corresponding front foot support 101, in some embodiments, the support pipe 11 is not limited to being connected to the front foot support 101. According to the modification of the structure of the main frame 1, the structure of the support pipe 11 and the position of the support pipe 11 in the main frame 1 can be changed accordingly, as long as the support pipe 11 can be pivotally connected to the swing bracket assembly 2 to achieve the corresponding function.
[0326] It should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly described and limited, orientation terms, such as "front", "rear", "left" and "right" in the embodiments of the present disclosure refer to the "front", "rear", "left" and "right" of a baby seated in the baby carrier, respectively. The arrows H and P shown in the drawings denote "front" and "rear" directions, respectively, and the arrows L and R denote "Left" and "Right" directions, respectively. These orientation terms are only used to make the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, but not used to improperly limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0327] FIG. 7 shows an exemplary structure of the swing bracket assembly 2. The swing bracket assembly 2, for example, is made of a metal rod, and includes a support frame 22, and swing arms 21 disposed on the left and right sides of the support frame 22, respectively. The support frame 22 has a bent structure. The support frame 22 includes, for example, a first support rod 221, a second support rod 222, a first cross bar 223, a second cross bar 224 and a third cross bar 225. The first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 are arranged to be opposite to each other. In some embodiments, the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 are arranged at intervals at the left and right sides, and both extend in the front and rear directions and are parallel to each other. The first cross bar 223 is connected between a rear end of the first support rod 221 and a rear end of the second support rod 222. The second cross bar 224 is connected to a front end of the first support rod 221 and the swing arm 21 at the right side. The third cross bar 225 is connected to a front end of the second support rod 222 and the swing arm 21 at the left side. The upper end of each of the swing arms 21 is pivotally connected to the support pipe 11 at the corresponding side, so that the swing arms 21 can swing backwards and forwards. In some embodiments, the swing bracket assembly 2 may also have various structures, as long as it includes the swing arms 21 connected to the support pipes 11 arranged at the two sides respectively and can support the seat 3.
[0328] Referring to FIG. 1, the seat 3 is supported by the support frame 22 and restricted by the two swing arms 21 in the left and right directions. When the swing arms 21 swing backwards and forwards, the seat 3 swings along with swing arms 21, so that the baby carrier has a swing mode (also called a rocking chair mode).
[0329] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 3, FIG. 23 and FIG. 24, an exemplary structure of the seat 3 is shown in the first embodiment. The seat 3 includes a base 305, two safety fences 306, a back 307, and a dinner plate 308 or a front armrest. The two safety fences 306 are located on the left and right sides of the base 305, the back 307 is installed on the base 305 and located between the two safety fences 306, and the dinner plate 308 or the front armrest is installed on the two safety fences 306 and located in front of the back 307. In some embodiments, the bottom of the back 307 is further provided with a seat portion 3071. For example, the seat portion 3071 and the back 307 are integrally formed and fixed on the base 305, thereby fixing the back 307 on the base 305. A foot shelf 309 is arranged on the front of the base 305 and extends downward, and the foot shelf 309 is configured to support shanks and feet of a baby. An upper end of the foot shelf 309, for example, is pivotally connected to the seat portion 3071 through the pivot 3091, so that after the back 307, the seat portion 3071 and the foot shelf 309 are removed from the base 305, the foot shelf 309 may turn towards the bottom of the seat portion 3071, thereby saving space. The structure of the seat 3 is not limited to the above examples. For example, in some embodiments, the back 307 and the base 305 are integrally formed. Alternatively, the back 307 may be pivotally connected to the base 305. The seat 3 may also be provided with a back adjusting and locking structure, so as to realize a function that a tilt angle of the back 307 is adjustable. Alternatively, the foot shelf 309 may be directly connected to the base 305. Alternatively, in some embodiments, no foot shelf 309 is arranged on the seat 3.
[0330] Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 23, the seat 3 includes a mounting structure engaging with the swing bracket assembly 2 above. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23, a first positioning groove 31 and a second positioning groove 32 are disposed on the bottom surface of the base 305, and the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 may be locked into the first positioning groove 31 and the second positioning groove 32, respectively. The positioning groove 331, the positioning groove 332 and the positioning groove 333 are disposed on the bottom surface of the base 305. A first cross bar 223, a second cross bar 224 and a third cross bar 225 may be locked into the positioning groove 331, the positioning groove 332 and the positioning groove 333, respectively. As shown in FIG. 3, outer surfaces of the two safety fences 306 each are provided with a positioning groove 3060. The two swing arms 21 may be clamped into the positioning grooves 3060 on the respective sides of the safety fence 306. Thus, the swing bracket assembly 2 forms a reliable support for the seat 3 in the front and rear directions and in the left and right directions. In addition, a quick releasing structure is arranged between the base 305 and the support frame 22 to easily lock or unlock a connection between the support frame 22 and the base 305. The quick releasing structure is, for example, a locking device 9 to be described in the third embodiment and in the fourth embodiment hereinafter, but the implementation of the quick releasing structure is not limited to the examples below. It can be understood that the structure connecting the seat 3 and the swing bracket assembly 2 may be implemented in various ways, as long as the swing bracket assembly 2 can reliably support the seat 3.
[0331] Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 9, FIG. 11 to FIG. 13, a swing limiting mechanism 4 is arranged between the swing arm 21 and the support pipe 11 which are disposed on the same side, and the swing limiting mechanism 4 is configured to limit a swing angle of the swing arm 21, thereby controlling a swing range of the seat 3, so as to achieve the riding safety and comfort of the seat 3 in the swing mode. In some embodiments, the swing angle of the swing arm 21 is within 30 degrees to
40 degrees. Taking the swing angle of 40 degrees of the swing arm 21 as an example, the swing angle of 40 degrees means that the maximum angle a that the swing arm 21 swings backwards from its starting position is 20 degrees (shown in FIG. 11), and the maximum angle P that the swing arm 21 swings forwards from its starting position is 20 degrees (shown in FIG. 12). As shown in FIG. 13, the starting position of the swing arm 21 is, for example, a position at which the swing arm 21 is substantially parallel to the center line of the support pipe 11.
[0332] FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 9 to FIG. 13 show exemplary structures of the swing limiting mechanism 4 between the swing arm 21 and the support pipe 11 on the left side. In the first embodiment, the structure of the main frame 1 and the structure of the support frame 22 of the baby carrier each are substantially bilateral symmetrical. The swing limiting mechanism 4 between the swing arm 21 and the support pipe 11 at the right side is symmetrical to the swing limiting mechanism 4 at the left side, and will not be described repeatedly hereinafter. In some embodiments, the structure of the main frame 1 and the structure of the support frame 22 of the baby carrier each may not be exactly bilateral symmetrical, and in this case, the swing limiting mechanism 4 may be arranged only between the swing arm 21 and the support pipe 11 disposed on one side.
[0333] Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 9, the support pipe 11 of the main frame 1 includes a first through hole 110 transversely penetrating through the wall of the support pipe 11, and the first through hole 110 is adjacent to the upper end of the support pipe 1. The swing limiting mechanism 4 includes a fixing member 41, and the fixing member 41 is sleeved inside the support pipe 11, so as to be fixed on the main frame 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper end of the fixing member
41 has a limiting flange 4109, and the limiting flange 4109 is stuck at the upper opening of the support pipe 11 to fix the fixing member 41 on the upper end of the support pipe 11. The fixing member 41 includes a second through hole 410 and a limiting groove 411. Where, the second through hole 410 is aligned with the first through hole 110, and the limiting groove 411 extends longitudinally along the fixing member 41 and is in communication with the second through hole 410. It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the fixing member 41 is fixed on the main frame 1 in other ways.
[0334] The pivot 211 is disposed on the upper end of the swing arm 21, and connected to the swing arm 21 in a non-rotatable manner. The pivot 211 is configured to pass through the first through hole 110 and the second through hole 410, and an axis of the pivot 211 is substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the limiting groove 411. When a swing force is exerted on the swing arm 21 , the swing arm 21 , together with the pivot 211, swings around the axis of the pivot 211. In the first embodiment, the swing arm 21 and the pivot 211 are integrally formed. In some embodiments, the pivot 211 and the swing arm 21 are integrally formed, for example, by welding. Alternatively, the pivot 211 and the swing arm 21 are separate structures, and are connected to each other, for example, by means of a flat-head connecting portion engaging with a flat hole.
[0335] Referring to FIG. 11 to FIG. 13, side walls of the limiting groove 411 includes a first side wall 401 and a second side wall 402 parallel to each other, and the first side wall 401 and the second side wall 402 are located at front and rear sides of the pivot 211, respectively. The first side wall 401 and the second side wall 402 each form a first limiting surface 4111 and a second limiting surface 4112. The first limiting surface 4111 on the first side wall 401 is located above the second limiting surface 4112 thereon, and the first limiting surface 4111 on the second side wall 402 is located below the second limiting surface 4112 thereon.
[0336] Referring to FIG. 6, and FIG. 10 to FIG. 13, the swing limiting mechanism 4 further includes an abutting member 42. The abutting member 42 is connected to the pivot 211 in a non-rotatable manner and is disposed between the first limiting surfaces 4111 of the first side wall 401 and second side wall 402, and between the second limiting surfaces 4112 of the first side wall 401 and second side wall 402. The abutting member 42 limits the swing angle of the swing arm 21 by abutting against the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112. In the first embodiment, the abutting member 42 and the pivot 211 are separate structures. The abutting member 42 is inserted into the limiting groove 411 first, and then is connected to the pivot 211 in the non-rotatable manner. The abutting member 42 is substantially rhombus-shaped, and includes a first parallel surfaces pair 421 and a second parallel surfaces pair 422. Referring to FIG. 11, when swinging to abut against the first limiting surfaces 4111, the first parallel surfaces pair 421 prevents the swing arm 21 from continuing to swing in a first direction Tl. Referring to FIG. 12, when swinging to abut against the second limiting surfaces 4112, the second parallel surfaces pair 422 prevents the swing arm 21 from continuing to swing in a second direction T2. The first direction Tl is opposite to the second direction T2. In the first embodiment, the first direction Tl is, more specifically, a backward direction, and the second direction T2 is, more specifically, a forward direction.
[0337] It should be noted that in the first embodiment, although the first side wall 401 and the second side wall 402 are parallel to each other, and the abutting member 42 is substantially rhombus-shaped, in other embodiments, the first side wall 401, the second side wall 402 and the abutting member 42 may also have other implementations and are not limited to the above examples, as long as the first side wall 401 and the second side wall 402 can engage with the abutting member 42 to restrict the swing angle of the swing arm 21 within a preset angle.
[0338] FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 10 show an exemplary connection between the pivot 211 and the abutting member 42. An end of the pivot 211 includes a first flat-head portion 2111, and the abutting member 42 includes a first flat hole 423 for engaging with the first flat-head portion 2111. A portion of the first flat-head portion 2111, which is located in the limiting groove 411, is configured to pass through the first flat hole 423, so that the abutting member 42 is connected to the pivot 211 in the non-rotatable manner. In some embodiments, the first flat-head portion 2111 and the first flat hole 423 have sectional shapes such as rectangles, trapezoids, ellipses, and rectangle-like shapes. Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, during an installation, the abutting member 42 is first inserted into the limiting groove 411 from a groove opening 41101 on the top of the limiting groove 411, and then the first flathead portion 2111 passes through the first through hole 110 at one side of the limiting groove 411 and the second through hole 410, and after the first flat hole 423 of the abutting member 42 is aligned with the first flat-head portion 2111, the first flat-head portion 2111 passes through the first flat hole 423. As can be seen from FIG. 13, in some embodiments, the limiting groove 411 has a closed groove bottom 41102, which can prevent the abutting member 42 from accidentally sliding into the support pipe 11 from the bottom of the limiting groove 411.
[0339] Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 10, a diameter of the pivot 211 is less than diameters of the first through hole 110 and the second through hole 410. A first shaft sleeve 201 fits over an outer periphery of the pivot 211. The first shaft sleeve 201 is disposed on one side of the limiting groove 411 and is at least sleeved in the second through hole 410 of the fixing member 41. The pivot 211 is supported by the first shaft sleeve 201 and is rotatable relative to the first shaft sleeve 201. The first shaft sleeve 201 is made of a wear-resistant material with a small friction coefficient, for example, plastic material, so as to reduce a resistance during a swing of the swing arm 21. In some embodiments, no first shaft sleeve 201 is provided, and the pivot 211 is directly supported, for example, by the second through hole 410.
[0340] Referring to FIG. 6, a step 4108 is formed on a hole wall of the second through hole 410, and the step 4108 is configured to limit an installation depth of the first shaft sleeve 201 in the second through hole 410, and prevent the first shaft sleeve 201 from abutting against the abutting member 42. In some embodiments, the first shaft sleeve 201 closely engages with the second through hole 410, to avoid an axial movement or a circumferential rotation of the first shaft sleeve 201 relative to the second through hole 410. Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 10, in some embodiments, axial guiding grooves 2011 are formed on an outer periphery of the first shaft sleeve 201, and axial guiding ribs 4101 are arranged on the hole wall of the second through hole 410. Extension directions of the axial guiding grooves 2011 and the axial guiding ribs 4101 are parallel to the axis of the pivot 211. During an installation, the axial guiding grooves 2011 and the axial guiding ribs 4101 move relative to each other in the axial direction and engage with each other, so as to avoid the circumferential rotation of the first shaft sleeve 201 relative to the second through hole 410. It can be understood that in some embodiments, the position of the axial guiding groove 2011 on the outer periphery of the first shaft sleeve 201 and the position of the axial guiding rib 4101 on the hole wall of the second through hole 410 may be interchanged.
[0341] Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, a first step 2102 is formed at a root of the first flat-head portion 2111, and from one side, the first step 2102 may prevent an axial movement of the abutting member 42 relative to the pivot 211. A first limiting structure 5 is arranged on the first flat-head portion 2111, and from another side, the first limiting structure 5 prevents the axial movement of the abutting member 42 relative to the pivot 211, thus preventing the abutting member 42 from moving along the first flat-head portion 2111 and from being detached from the first flathead portion 2111.
[0342] Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, an exemplary structure of the first limiting structure 5 is also shown in the first embodiment. The first limiting structure 5 includes a spring clip 51 and a first positioning sleeve 52, which are located on the other side of the limiting groove 411. The first positioning sleeve 52 fits over the first flat-head portion 2111 and is located in the second through hole 410. A second flat hole 521 is formed along the axis direction and located in the center of the first positioning sleeve 52. The second flat hole 521 is configured to engage with the first flathead portion 2111, thus avoiding a rotation between the first positioning sleeve 52 and the first flathead portion 2111. The first positioning sleeve 52 also includes a radial through groove 522. The radial through groove 522 is configured to receive the spring clip 51 and intersects with the second flat hole 521 perpendicularly. A first positioning recess 2101 is formed on the first flat-head portion 2111. The spring clip 51 is configured to be inserted into the radial through groove 522, and engages with the first positioning recess 2101, so that an axial position, on the first flat-head portion 2111, of the first positioning sleeve 52 is fixed, and that the abutting member 42 is clamped between the first step 2102 and the first positioning sleeve 52. Referring to FIG. 6, in some embodiments, an outer peripheral wall of the first positioning sleeve 52 is in contact with the hole wall of the second through hole 410, thus the first positioning sleeve 52 may form an auxiliary support for the first flat-head portion 2111.
[0343] Referring to FIG. 7, in some embodiments, one or more positioning holes 424 are formed on an end surface, facing the first positioning sleeve 52, of the abutting member 42. The positioning holes 424 may be blind holes or through holes. One or more positioning columns 523 are disposed on an end surface, facing the abutting member 42, of the first positioning sleeve 52. The positioning hole 424 engages with the positioning column 523. Since the first positioning sleeve 52 and the first flat-head portion 2111 are connected in the non-rotatable manner, the non-rotatable connection between the abutting member 42 and the first flat-head portion 2111 is further guaranteed by means of the positioning hole 424 engaging with the positioning column 523. In some embodiments, the position of the positioning hole 424 on the abutting member 42 and the position of the positioning column 523 on the first positioning sleeve 52 may be interchanged.
[0344] Referring to FIG. 7, the baby carrier may also be provided with the first swing locking mechanism 6. The first swing locking mechanism 6 is configured to lock the swing of the swing arm 21, so that the seat 3 cannot swing, that is, the seat 3 is switched from the swing mode to the fixed mode. For the baby dining chair, the seat 3 needs to be switched from the swing mode to the fixed mode when a baby is having a dinner. The first swing locking mechanism 6 may be implemented in various ways. Referring to FIG. 3, at least one locking hole 30 is formed on a side portion of the seat 3, more specifically, formed on a safety fence 306 of the seat 3. Referring to FIG. 5, the first swing locking mechanism 6 is installed on the main frame 1 and includes a locking pin 62 which is axially retractable, and the locking pin 62 is parallel to the pivot 211. When the locking pin 62 is controlled to be inserted into the locking hole 30, the swing of the swing arm 21 is locked, and the seat 3 is switched to the fixed mode. It should be understood that, when a plurality of locking holes 30 are formed on the seat 3, a degree of inclination of the seat 3 in the fixed mode may be changed by means of inserting the locking pin 62 into different locking holes 30. When the seat 3 needs to be switched to the swing mode, the locking pin 62 is controlled to retract from the corresponding locking hole 30, and the locking pin 62 will no longer interfere in the swing of the swing arm 21, and the swing arm 21 may drive the seat 3 to swing within the angle range limited by the swing limiting mechanism 4.
[0345] Referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 7 to FIG. 9, and FIG. 11 to FIG. 13, an exemplary structure of the first swing locking mechanism 6, and an exemplary installation structure for the first swing locking mechanism 6 and the main frame 1 are shown in the first embodiment. For the convenience of installing the first swing locking mechanism 6, the main frame 1 further includes a first mounting housing 15, and the first swing locking mechanism 6 is installed inside the first mounting housing 15. The first mounting housing 15 is installed on the main frame 1, more specifically, the first mounting housing 15 is mounted on the support pipe 11 .
[0346] Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 9, the first mounting housing 15 is formed by butting a first housing portion 151 and a second housing portion 152 together, and the first swing locking mechanism 6 is installed inside the first mounting housing 15.
[0347] The second housing portion 152 is farther away from a longitudinal center plane (or called a center plane of a left-right symmetry) of the baby carrier than the first housing portion 151. The second housing portion 152 includes a first sleeve portion 150, and the first sleeve portion 150 fits over an end of the support pipe 11. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, the support pipe 11 includes a hole 1101, and the first sleeve portion 150 includes a hole 1501, and a fastener, such as a screw, is configured to pass through the hole 1501 and the hole 1101 successively to fix the second housing portion 152 on the support pipe 11. Referring to FIG. 7, an operating button 154 is disposed on the second housing portion 152. A first end of the operating button 154 is hinged with the second housing portion 152 through a pin shaft 15 1, and a second end of the operating button 154 includes a mounting hole 1542. The mounting hole 1542 is configured to be connect to an end of a cable (not shown in the figures). A restoring spring 153 is further arranged between the operating button 154 and the second housing portion 152. Under an action of a force, the operating button 154 moves upwards around the pin shaft 1541 and compresses the restoring spring 153, the second end of the operating button 154 drives the cable to move upwards, and the upward movement of the cable may realize a corresponding function. For example, in some embodiments, the upward movement of the cable may release a locking relationship between the support pipe 11 and the front foot support 101, so that the support pipe 11 may extend and retract relative to the front foot support 101 to adjust the height of the seat 3. Since the technical features and functions related to the operating button 154 and the cable are not the focus of the present invention, the operating button 154 and the cable will not be described repeatedly hereinafter.
[0348] The first housing portion 151 is fixed on the second housing portion 152 by a screw (not shown in the figures). The first housing portion 151 includes a third through hole 1503, and the locking pin 62 is configured to stretch out from the third through hole 1503. Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 9, the first swing locking mechanism 6 further includes a first releasing member 61 and a first elastic element 63. Referring to FIG. 5, the first elastic element 63 is located inside the first mounting housing 15 and arranged to exert an elastic force on the locking pin 62, forcing the locking pin 62 to stretch outwards and to be inserted into the corresponding locking hole 30. The first releasing member 61 is operatively connected to the locking pin 62 to force the locking pin 62 to retract, so that the locking pin 62 retract from the corresponding locking hole 30.
[0349] In some embodiments, the first releasing member 61 may move backwards and forwards relative to the first mounting housing 15 to enter a locking position or an unlocking position. The first housing portion 151 and/or the second housing portion 152 is provided with a structure 1521 for guiding the first releasing member 61 to move. Referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, when the first releasing member 61 is at the unlocking position, the first releasing member 61 drives the locking pin 62 to retract from the locking hole 30, and the swing arm 21 may swing backwards and forwards. Referring to FIG. 8 and FIG. 13, when the first releasing member 61 is at the locking position, the first elastic element 63 drives the locking pin 62 to stretch outwards to be inserted into the locking hole 30.
[0350] Referring to FIG. 7, FIG. 8, FIG. 11 to FIG. 13, in some embodiments, a first annular flange 620 is arranged on the middle part of the locking pin 62, and the first annular flange 620 divides the locking pin 62 into a first part 621 and a second part 622. The first part 621 is configured to stretch outwards to be inserted into the locking hole 30, and the first elastic element 63 fits over the second part 622. The second housing portion 152 includes a mounting hole 1520, and the second part 622 is axially movable and arranged in the mounting hole 1520. Referring to FIG. 8, the first releasing member 61 includes a first elongated hole 611, and the first elongated hole 611 is a straight hole or a curved hole. An obliquely-extending first stopping boss 612 is formed by the hole wall of the first elongated hole 611. The first annular flange 620 is clamped between the first stopping boss 612 and the first elastic element 63. When the first releasing member 61 moves to the unlocking position, the first stopping boss 612 pushes the first annular flange 620 to drive the locking pin 62 to move axially, so that the locking pin 62 retracts till it exits from the locking hole 30. When the first releasing member 61 moves to the locking position, the first stopping boss 612 evades to provide an axial space, the first elastic element 63 drives the locking pin 62 to stretch outwards, and the locking pin 62 is inserted into the locking hole 30. The structure of the first releasing member 61 that controls the locking pin 62 to stretch and retract axially is various and is not limited to the examples above.
[0351] Referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 11 to FIG. 13, in order to make the operation of the first releasing member 61 easily, the first releasing member 61 further includes a first push block 613 protruding relative to the first mounting housing 15. The first push block 613 makes it convenient to change front and rear positions of the first releasing member 61 manually. The first mounting housing 15 correspondingly includes a first opening 1505 allowing the first push block 613 to move through, and the first opening 1505 may also limit a travel of the first push block 613.
[0352] As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 13, in some embodiments, the upper end of the support pipe 11 extends into the first mounting housing 15 through the first sleeve portion 150 of the first mounting housing 15, and the fixing member 41 disposed at the upper end of the support pipe 11 is also received inside the first mounting housing 15 accordingly. The first mounting housing 15 includes a second opening 1506 (shown in FIG. 9) allowing the swing arm 21 to pass through, and the second opening 1506 also assists in limiting the swing angle of the swing arm 21.
[0353] This embodiment also provides a swing mechanism. The swing mechanism includes the fixing member 41, the swing arm 21 and the abutting member 42 described above. As described in this embodiment, the fixing member 41 includes the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112. The swing arm 21 includes the pivot 211 which is pivotable relative to the fixing member 41. The abutting member 42 is connected to the pivot 211 and located between the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112. When the swing arm 21 turns, the abutting member 42 turns together with the swing arm 21, and when reaching the boundary position of the swing, the abutting member 42 abuts against the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112 respectively, thereby restricting the swing angle of the swing arm 21.
[0354] In some embodiments, as described above, the fixing member 41 includes the limiting groove 411, and the extending direction of the limiting groove 411 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the pivot 211. The first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112 are formed on the first side wall 401 and the second side wall 402 of the limiting groove 411, which are parallel to each other. The abutting member 42 is attached to the swing arm 21 and includes the first parallel surfaces pair 421 and the second parallel surfaces pair 422. The abutting member 42 restricts the range of the swing angle of the swing arm 21 by mean of the first parallel surfaces pair 421 and the second parallel surfaces pair 422 abutting against different positions of the first side wall 401 and the second side wall 402.
[0355] The swing mechanism may be applied to any suitable product to limit the range of the swing angle of the swing ami 21.
[0356] Second Embodiment

The support frame 22 may have the bent structure, and includes, for example the first support rod 221, the second support rod 222, the first cross bar 223, the second cross bar 224 and the third cross bar 225. For the interrelationships between these components and the engagement relationship between the swing bracket assembly 2 and the seat 3, reference may be made to the description in the first embodiment described above, which will not be repeated herein. Each upper end of the swing arm 21 is pivotally connected to the corresponding support pipe 11, so that the swing bracket assembly 2 may swing backwards and forwards to drive the seat 3 to swing backwards and forwards.
[0360] Referring to FIG. 15 to FIG. 17, and FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, in the baby carrier of the second embodiment, the swing limiting mechanism 4 is arranged between the swing arm 21 and the support pipe 11 which are disposed at the same side, and has the same function as the swing limiting mechanism 4 in the first embodiment above, which is configured to limit the swing angle of the swing arm 21, thereby controlling the swing range of the seat 3, and achieving the riding safety and comfort of the seat 3 in the swing mode. For example, the swing limiting mechanism 4 limits the swing angle of the swing arm 21 within 30 degrees to 40 degrees. An exemplary structure of the swing limiting mechanism 4, arranged between the swing arm 21 and the support pipe 11 at the left side, is shown in the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the main frame 1 of the baby carrier and the structure of the support frame 22 are substantially left-right symmetrical. The swing limiting mechanism 4 between the swing arm 21 and the support pipe 11 at the right side is symmetrical to the swing limiting mechanism 4 at the left side, and will not be described repeatedly hereinafter. In some embodiments, the structure of the main frame 1 and the structure of the support frame 22 of the baby carrier each may not be exactly bilateral symmetrical, and in this case, the swing limiting mechanism 4 may be arranged only between the swing arm 21 and the support pipe 11 disposed on one side.

The swing limiting mechanism 4 includes a fixing member 41, and the fixing member 41 is sleeved inside the support pipe 11, so as to be fixed on the main frame 1. For example, the upper end of the fixing member 41 is provided with a limiting flange 4109, and the limiting flange 4109 is stuck at the upper opening of the support pipe 11 to fix the fixing member 41 on the upper end of the support pipe 11. The fixing member 41 includes a second through hole 410 and a limiting groove 411. Where, the second through hole 410 is aligned with the first through hole 110, and the limiting groove 411 extends longitudinally along the fixing member 41 and is in communication with the second through hole 410. It should be understood that, in some embodiments, the fixing member 41 may be fixed on the main frame 1 in other ways.
[0362] Referring to FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, the pivot 211 is disposed on the upper end of the swing arm 21, and the pivot 211 is connected to the swing arm 21 in the non-rotatable manner. The pivot 211 is arranged to pass through the first through hole 110 and the second through hole 410, and the axis of the pivot 211 is substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the limiting groove 411. When a swing force is exerted on the swing arm 21, the swing arm 21, together with the pivot 211, swings around the axis of the pivot 211. In the second embodiment, the pivot 211 and the swing arm 21 are separate structures. A flat-head connecting portion 2113 is arranged on and protrudes from an end surface of the second end of the pivot 211, and a connecting piece 26 is arranged on the upper end of the swing arm 21. The connecting piece 26 includes a third flat hole 260 configured to engage with the flat-head connecting portion 2113. The flat-head connecting portion 2113 and the third flat hole 260 may have sectional shapes such as rectangles, trapezoids, ellipses, and rectangle-like shapes. [0363] Referring to FIG. 16, FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, a limiting member 43 is arranged inside the limiting groove 411. More specifically, the limiting member 43 (e.g. a plate piece) is inserted into the limiting groove 411. The limiting member 43 includes an opening 430 allowing the pivot 211 to pass through, and the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112 are formed on the wall of the opening 430. More specifically, the opening 430 includes a first hole portion 4301, and the first hole portion 4301 is, for example, a sector-shaped hole portion. The first hole portion 4301 includes a first wall 43011 and a second wall 43012, and the first wall 43011 and the second wall 43012 are located at the front and rear sides of the pivot 211, respectively. The first wall 43011 and the second wall 43012 each form the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112. [0364] Referring to FIG. 20, in the second embodiment, the first hole portion 4301 is formed by two oppositely arranged upper and lower sector-shaped sub-holes (not marked in the figure) communicating with each other. The first wall 43011 of the first hole portion 4301 includes a front wall of the upper sector-shaped sub-hole and a front wall of the lower sector-shaped sub-hole, and the second wall 43012 of the first hole portion 4301 includes a rear wall of the upper sector-shaped sub-hole and a rear wall of the lower sector-shaped sub-hole. The first limiting surface 4111 includes the front wall of the upper sector-shaped sub-hole and the rear wall of the lower sector-shaped subhole, and the second limiting surface 4112 includes the rear wall of the upper sector-shaped sub-hole and the front wall of the lower sector-shaped sub-hole.
[0365] Referring to FIG. 16, FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, the swing limiting mechanism 4 further includes an abutting member 42. The abutting member 42 is connected to the pivot 211 in the non-rotatable manner and is located between the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112. The abutting member 42 limits the swing angle of the swing arm 21 by abutting against the first limiting surface 4111 and abutting against the second limiting surface 4112. In the second embodiment, the abutting member 42 and the pivot 211 are formed integrally. More specifically, the abutting member 4 is a second flat-head portion formed on the pivot 211, and the second flat-head portion is adjacent to a first end of the pivot 211 and includes a first plane 425 and a second plane 426 parallel to each other. The first end of the pivot 211 is the end of the pivot 211 away from the connecting piece 26.
[0366] Referring to FIG. 20, during the swing of the swing anu 21, when an upper part of the first plane 425 and a lower part of the second plane 426 abut against the first limiting surfaces 4111 at the same time, the swing arm 21 is stopped from continuing swinging in the first direction Tl, and when a lower part of the first plane 425 and an upper part of the second plane 426 abut against the second limiting surfaces 4112 at the same time, the swing arm 21 is stopped from continuing swinging in the second direction T2.
[0367] It should be noted that although the opening 430 in the second embodiment includes the first hole portion 4301 formed by butting two sector-shaped sub-holes communicating with each other, and the abutting member 42 is the second flat-head portion formed on the pivot 211. In other embodiments, the opening 430 and the abutting member 42 may also have other implementations and are not limited to the above examples, only if the hole wall of the opening 430 may restrict the swing angle of the swing arm 21 within the preset angle. For example, in some embodiments, the first hole portion 4301 of the opening 430 only includes one sector-shaped sub-hole, and the front and rear walls of the sector-shaped sub-hole form the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112, respectively.
[0368] Referring to FIG. 15 to FIG. 17, the diameter of the pivot 211 is smaller than diameters of the first through hole 110 and the second through hole 410. A second shaft sleeve 202 fits over the outer periphery of the pivot 211. The second shaft sleeve 202 is disposed on one side of the limiting groove 411 and is at least sleeved in the second through hole 410 of the fixing member 41. The pivot 211 is supported by the second shaft sleeve 202 and is rotatable relative to the second shaft sleeve 201. The second shaft sleeve 201 is made of the wear-resistant material with a small friction coefficient, for example, the plastic material, so as to reduce a resistance during the swing of the swing arm 21. In some embodiments, the second shaft sleeve 202 tightly engages with the second through hole 410 to avoid an axial movement and a circumferential rotation of the second shaft sleeve 202 relative to the second through hole 410. In some embodiments, no second shaft sleeve 202 is provided, and the pivot 211 is directly supported, for example, by the second through hole 410.
[0369] Referring to FIG. 15 to FIG. 17, the pivot 211 is provided with a second limiting structure 7. The second limiting structure 7 is configured to prevent the connecting piece 26, the pivot 211 and the limiting member 43 from being separated from each other. An exemplary connection between the pivot 211 and the second limiting structure 7 is shown in the figure. Specifically, the pivot 211 includes a center hole 2110 (shown in FIG. 16), and a second step 2103 (shown in FIG. 17) is formed at the root of the second flat-head portion, and a third step 2105 (shown in FIG. 16) is formed at the root of the flat-head connecting portion 2113. The second limiting structure 7 includes a bolt 71 and a nut 72, a tail end 711 of the bolt 71 is inserted into the center hole 2110 from a second end of the pivot 211 (an end of the flat-head connecting portion 2113), and goes out of the center hole 2110 from a first end of the pivot 211 to be screwed in a nut 72. The nut 72 is disposed on the other side of the limiting groove 411 and located in the second through hole 410. The connecting piece 26 is clamped between the third step 2105 and the head 712 of the bolt 71, the limiting member 43 is clamped between the second step 2103 and the nut 72, and the second shaft sleeve 202 is located between the connecting piece 26 and the limiting member 43.
[0370] Referring to FIG. 15 to FIG. 17, the pivot 211 further includes a prism 2115 protruding from the end surface of the second flat-head portion, and the nut 72 forms a second positioning recess 720 engaging with the prism 2115. The prism 2115 engages with the second positioning recess 720, so that the nut 72 cannot rotate relative to the pivot 211, thus making it convenient to screw the bolt 71 into or out of the nut 72. In some embodiments, an outer peripheral wall of the nut 72 is in contact with the hole wall of the second through hole 410, thus forming an auxiliary support for the pivot 211. [0371] In some embodiments, the baby carrier may be provided with the first swing locking mechanism 6 in the first embodiment above, and the swing of the swing arm 21 is locked by the first swing locking mechanism 6, so that the seat 3 cannot swing and is in the fixed mode.
[0372] This second embodiment provides another implementation for locking the swing of the swing arm 21. Referring to FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, the limiting groove 411 includes a groove opening
41101 and a groove bottom 41102. The limiting member 43 is inserted into the limiting groove 411 through the groove opening 41101, and the limiting member 43 is longitudinally movable in the limiting groove 411 to adjust its own position. The limiting groove 411 has a closed groove bottom
41102 to prevent the limiting member 43 from accidentally slipping into the support pipe 11 through the bottom of the limiting groove 41. The opening 430 of the limiting member 43 further includes the second hole portion 4302 communicating with the first hole portion 4301. The second hole portion 4302 is, for example, a straight hole portion, and the straight hole portion includes, for example, two opposite and parallel hole walls. The second hole portion 4302 is located below the first hole portion
4301 and proximate to the groove bottom 41102, and the first hole portion 4301 is proximate to the groove opening 41101. As shown in FIG. 21, by moving the limiting member 43 towards the groove opening 41101, at least part of the second flat-head portion is inserted into the second hole portion
4302 from the first hole portion 4301, and the first plane 425 and the second plane 426 of the second flat-head portion abut against the hole walls on two sides of the second hole portion 4302, that is, the second flat-head portion engages with the second hole portion 4302, thereby restricting the swing of the swing arm 21. Referring to FIG. 21, in some embodiments, two limiting portions 4307 are formed at the junction of the two sector-shaped sub-holes. By designing a depth of the second hole portion 4302 properly, when the second flat-head portion engages with the second hole portion 4302, part of the second flat-head portion is clamped between the two limiting portions 4307, thus the two limiting portions 4307 also have a limiting effect on the second flat-head portion. Conversely, as shown in FIG. 20, by moving the limiting member 43 towards the groove bottom 41102 till the second flathead portion is completely located in the first hole portion 4301, the swing arm 21 may swing forwards and backwards.
[0373] It should be understood that, in some embodiments, an upper position of the first hole portion 4301 and a lower position of the second hole portion 4302 may be interchanged. In this case, when the limiting member 43 moves toward the groove opening 41101, and when the second flat-head portion is completely located in the first hole portion 4301, the swing arm 21 may swing backwards and forwards. Conversely, when the limiting member 43 moves towards the groove bottom 41102, at least part of the second flat-head portion is inserted into the second hole portion 4302 from the first hole portion 4301, and the swing of the swing arm 21 is locked.
[0374] Referring to FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, in the second embodiment, a second elastic element 45 is arranged in the limiting groove 411 and clamped between the limiting member 43 and the groove bottom 41102, so as to exert an upward force on the limiting member 43 to force the limiting member 43 to move towards the groove opening 41101. In order to have the second elastic element 45 positioned easily, a guiding portion 4115 having a cylindrical shape is formed in the limiting groove 411. In addition, the limiting member 43 includes a receiving recess 4309, and an upper end of the second elastic element 45 is received in the receiving recess 4309. When a pressing force is applied to the limiting member 43, the limiting member 43 overcomes an elastic force of the second elastic element 45 and moves towards the groove bottom 41102. Thus, by forcing the limiting member 43 to move up and down inside the limiting groove 411, the first hole portion 4301 and the second hole portion 4302 selectively engages with the second flat-head portion. As may be known from the above description, when the second flat-head portion engages with the first hole portion 4301, the swing arm 21 may swing backwards and forwards, and when at least part of the second flat-head portion engages with the second hole portion 4302, the swing of the swing arm 21 is locked.
[0375] Referring to FIG. 16 to FIG. 21, in order to exert a pressure, towards the groove bottom 41102, on the limiting member 43, the second embodiment further includes a second swing locking mechanism 8. The second swing locking mechanism 8 is operatively connected to the limiting member 43, so as to exert the pressure, toward the groove bottom 41102, on the limiting member 43, so that the limiting member 43 overcomes the action of the second elastic element 45 and moves toward the groove bottom 41102.
[0376] Referring to FIG. 15 to FIG. 21, an exemplary structure of the second swing locking mechanism 8 and an exemplary installation structure for the second swing locking mechanism 8 and the main frame 1 are shown in the second embodiment. For the convenience of installing the second swing locking mechanism 8, the baby carrier further includes a second mounting housing 16, and the second swing locking mechanism 8 is installed inside the second mounting housing 16. The second mounting housing 16 is installed on the main frame 1, more specifically, the second mounting housing 16 is mounted on the support pipe 11.
[0377] Referring to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, the second mounting housing 16 is formed by butting a third housing portion 161 and a fourth housing portion 162 together, and the second swing locking mechanism 8 is installed inside the second mounting housing 16.
[0378] The fourth housing portion 152 is farther away from the longitudinal center plane (or called the center plane of a left-right symmetry) of the baby carrier than the third housing portion 161. The fourth housing portion 162 includes a second sleeve portion 160, and the second sleeve portion 160 fits over the end of the support pipe 11. Referring to FIG. 17, in some embodiments, the support pipe 11 includes a hole 1101, and the second sleeve portion 160 includes a hole 1601, and a fastener, such as a screw, is configured to pass through the hole 1601 and the hole 1101 successively to fix the fourth housing portion 162 on the support pipe 11. Referring to FIG. 14 and FIG. 16, an operating button 164 is disposed on the fourth housing portion 162. A first end of the operating button 164 is hinged with the fourth housing portion 162 through the pin shaft 1641, and a second end of the operating button 164 includes a mounting hole 1642. The mounting hole 1642 is configured to be connected to an end of a cable (not shown in the figures). A restoring spring 163 is further arranged between the operating button 164 and the fourth housing portion 162. Under an action of a force, the operating button 164 moves upwards around a pin shaft 1641 and compresses the restoring spring 163, and the second end of the operating button 164 drives the cable to m ove upwards, and the upward movement of the cable may realize a corresponding function. For example, in some embodiments, the upward movement of the cable may release a locking relationship between the support pipe 11 and the front foot support 101, so that the support pipe 11 may extend and retract relative to the front foot support 101 to adjust the height of the seat 3. Since the technical features and functions related to the operating button 164 and the cable are not the focus of the present invention, the operating button 164 and the cable will not be described repeatedly hereinafter.
[0379] The third housing portion 161 may be fixed on the fourth housing portion 162 with a screw (not shown). Referring to FIG. 16, and FIG. 18 to FIG. 21, a clamping part 431 is disposed on the top of the limiting member 43 proximate to the groove opening 41101, and the clamping part 431 is, for example, a concave portion. The second swing locking mechanism 8 includes a second releasing member 81 , a first linking member 82 and an engaging member 83. The engaging member 83 includes a center hole 830. Arotation shaft 169 (shown in FIG. 16) is arranged inside the interior of the second mounting housing 16. The engaging member 83 fits over the rotation shaft 169 through the center hole 830. The rotation shaft 169 is parallel to the pivot 211. A connecting lug 831, an engaging boss 832 and an evading portion 833 are arranged on the outer periphery of the engaging member 83. The first linking member 82 is connected between the connecting lug 831 and the second releasing member 81, and the second releasing member 81 drives the engaging member 83 to rotate through the first linking member 82, so that the engaging boss 832 and the evading portion 833 rotate accordingly. Referring to FIG. 20, when the engaging boss 832 rotates to a position where the engaging boss 832 abuts against the clamping part 431, the limiting member 43 moves towards the groove bottom 41102, and the second flat-head portion engages with the first hole portion 4301, so that the swing arm 21 can swing backwards and forwards. Referring to FIG. 21, when the evading portion 833 rotates to a position where the evading portion 833 abuts against the top of the limiting member 43, the limiting member 43, under the action of the second elastic element 45, moves towards the groove opening 41101, and the second flat-head portion engages with the second hole portion 4302, so that the swing of the swing arm 21 is locked.
[0380] In the second embodiment, the second releasing member 81 moves backwards and forwards relative to the second mounting housing 16 to a locking position or an unlocking position, and the third housing portion 161 and/or the fourth housing portion 162 is provided with a structure 1621 guiding the second releasing member 81 to move. Referring to FIG. 18 and FIG. 20, when the second releasing member 81 moves backwards to the unlocking position, the first linking member 82 drives the engaging member 83 to pivot, so that the engaging boss 832 and the clamping part 431 abuts against each other, and the limiting member 43 moves downwards, then the second flat-head portion engages with the first hole portion 4301, thus the swing arm 21 may swing backwards and forwards. Referring to FIG. 19 and FIG. 21, when the second releasing member 81 moves forwards to the locking position, the engaging boss 832 is detached from the clamping part 431, and the evading portion 833 faces the limiting member 43 and allows the limiting member 43 to move upwards, so that the second flat-head portion engages with the second hole portion 4302, and the swing of the swing arm 21 is locked.
[0381] Referring to FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, the second embodiment shows an exemplary connection between the first linking member 82, the second releasing member 81 and the engaging member 83. More specifically, the first linking member 82 has a curved shape, a first connecting pin 821 is arranged at a first end of the first linking member 82, and the second releasing member 81 includes a second elongated hole 811, with which the first connecting pin 821 slidably engages. In some embodiments, the position of the first connecting pin 821 on the first linking member 82 and the position of the second elongated hole 811 on the second releasing member 81 may be interchanged. A third elongated hole 822 is disposed at a second end of the first linking member 82, and the connecting lug 831 is provided with a second connecting pin 8311. The second connecting pin 8311 slidably engages with the third elongated hole 822. In some embodiments, the position of the second connecting pin 8311 on the connecting lug 831 and the position of the third elongated hole 822 in the first linking member 82 may be interchanged.
[0382] Referring to FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, in order to operate the second releasing member 81 easily, the second releasing member 81 includes a second push block 812 protruding relative to the second mounting housing 16, and the second push block 812 makes it convenient to change the front and rear positions of the second releasing member 81 manually. The second mounting housing 16 correspondingly includes a third opening 1605 allowing the second push block 812 to move, and the third opening 1605 may also limit a travel of the second push block 812.
[0383] As shown in FIG. 15 and FIG.16, in some embodiments, the upper end of the support pipe 11 extends into the second mounting housing 16 through the second sleeve portion 160 of the second mounting housing 16, and the fixing member 41 disposed at the upper end of the support pipe 11 is also received inside the second mounting housing 16 accordingly. The second mounting housing 16 includes a fourth opening 1606 allowing the swing arm 21 to pass through, and the fourth opening 1606 also assists in limiting the swing angle of the swing arm 21.
[0384] It should be noted that although the fixing member 41 in the first embodiment and the second embodiment is arranged inside the support pipe 11, in other embodiments, the fixing member 41 may not be arranged inside the support pipe 11. For example, the fixing member 41 is fixed on an outside of the support pipe 11, and the pivot 211 is pivotally connected to the fixing member 41 on the outside of the support pipe 11, such that the support pipe 11 needs not to be provided with the first through hole 110 described above.
[0385] A swing mechanism is also provided in this embodiment. The swing mechanism includes the fixing member 41, the swing arm 21 and the abutting member 42. The differences between the swing mechanism in this embodiment and the swing mechanism in the first embodiment are mainly described hereinafter, and the same or similarities thereof will not be described repeatedly.
[0386] The limiting member 43 is arranged inside the limiting groove 411. More specifically, the limiting member 43 is, for example, a plate piece inserted into the limiting groove 411 of the fixing member 41, and the position of the limiting member 43 inside the limiting groove 411 is adjustable. The limiting member 43 includes the opening 430 allowing the pivot 211 to pass through, and the opening 430 includes the first hole portion 4301 and the second hole portion 4302. The first hole portion 4301 is formed, for example, by butting two sector-shaped sub-holes. The first hole portion 4301 includes the first wall 43011 and the second wall 43012, and the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112 are formed on the first wall 43011 and the second wall 43012. The second hole portion 4302 is configured to engage with the abutting member 42 to lock the swing ami. [0387] The swing mechanism, by adjusting a position of the limiting member 43 inside the limiting groove 411, restricts a limit swing position (i.e., the swing angle range) of the swing arm 21 by means of the first hole portion 4301 engaging with the abutting member 42, and locks the swing arm 21 by means of the second hole portion 4302 engaging with the abutting member 42.
[0388] In addition, the swing mechanism is provided with the second swing locking mechanism 8 and the second elastic element 45 to adjust the position of the limiting member 43 inside the limiting groove 411.
[0389] The swing mechanism may not only allow the swing arm 21 to swing within the preset angle range, but also lock the swing ami 21 and stop the swing arm 21 from swinging.
[0390] Third Embodiment
[0391] FIG. 22 to FIG. 27 illustratively show a seat connecting structure according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure, and the seat connecting structure is applied to a baby carrier. In the third embodiment, the seat connecting structure is described hereinafter by taking the seat connecting structure applied to the baby dining chair illustrated in the first embodiment and the second embodiment as an example. It should be understood that an application range of the seat connecting structure is not limited to the baby dining chair, but includes baby carriers of other types or includes other structures requiring a quick disassembly for a seat.
[0392] Referring to FIG. 22 and FIG. 23, the seat connecting structure includes the support frame 22, a first positioning groove 31 and a second positioning groove 32, and the locking device 9. The first positioning groove 31 and the second positioning groove 32 are formed on a first surface of the seat 3. The support frame 22 includes the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 which are oppositely arranged. Referring to the foregoing description of the first embodiment, the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 each extend in the front and rear directions. In addition, the support frame 22 further includes at least one cross bar, and the at least one cross bar includes, for example, the first cross bar 223, the second cross bar 224 and the third cross bar 225.
[0393] Referring to FIG. 23, a first surface of the seat 3, more specifically, the bottom surface of the base 305, includes the first positioning groove 31 and the second positioning groove 32. The first positioning groove 31 is configured to receive the first support rod 221, and the second positioning groove 32 is configured to receive the second support rod 222. When the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 are locked into the first positioning groove 31 and the second positioning groove 32 respectively, they may both support the seat 3 and restrict a movement of the seat 3 relative to the support frame 22 in the left-right direction.
[0394] The bottom surface of the seat 3 further includes a positioning groove for receiving at least one cross bar. For example, the bottom surface of the base 305 also includes a third positioning groove 331, a fourth positioning groove 332 and a fifth positioning groove 333. The first cross bar 223, the second cross bar 224 and the third cross bar 225 may be locked into the third positioning groove 331, the fourth positioning groove 332 and the fifth positioning groove 333, respectively. When these cross bars are locked into the corresponding positioning grooves, on one hand, they may support the seat 3, and on the other hand, they may restrict the movement of the seat 3 relative to the support frame 22 in the front rear directions. In order to facilitate the installation of each support rod and each cross bar, the first positioning groove 31, the second positioning groove 32, the third positioning groove 331, the fourth positioning groove 332 and the fifth positioning groove 333 communicate. It should be understood that the movement of the seat 3 relative to the support frame 22 in the front and rear directions may be restricted by many ways, which are not limited to a combination of the cross bars and the positioning grooves described above.
[0395] In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, two ends of the support frame 22 are connected to the main frame 1 through the swing arms 21, so that the seat 3 has the swing mode. But it should be noted that, in some embodiments, the support frame 22, for example, is directly or indirectly fixed on the main frame 1, so that the seat 3 does not have the swing mode. In addition, in some embodiments, the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 do not extend in the front and rear directions but in the left and right directions; in this case, when the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 are locked into the first positioning groove 31 and the second positioning groove 32, respectively, the movement of the seat 3 relative to the support frame 22 in the front and rear directions is restricted, and the movement of the seat 3 in the left and right directions may be achieved by any other proper structure.
[0396] Referring to FIG. 22 and FIG. 23, a second surface, facing away from the first surface, of the seat 3, for example, a top surface of the seat 3, more specifically, the top surface of the base 305, includes a first sliding groove 33 and a second sliding groove 34. An extension direction of the first sliding groove 33 is substantially perpendicular to and intersects with an extension direction of the first positioning groove 31, and an extension direction of the second sliding groove 34 is substantially perpendicular to and intersects with an extension direction of the second positioning groove 32.
[0397] Referring to FIG. 22 and FIG. 23, the locking device 9 includes a first blocking member 91, a second blocking member 92 and an elastic element 93. Both the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 slidably engage with the seat 3. For example, the first blocking member 91 is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 33, and the second blocking member 92 is slidably disposed in the second sliding groove 34. The elastic element is configured to drive the first blocking member 91 to be at a locking position, and in this case, the first blocking member 91 is located below the first support rod 221 to prevent the first support rod 221 from being detached from the first positioning groove 31, that is, the first support rod 221 is locked between the first blocking member 91 and the seat 3. The elastic element is also configured to drive the second blocking member 92 to be at a locking position, and in this case, the second blocking member 92 is located below the second support rod 222 to prevent the second support rod 222 from being detached from the second positioning groove 32, that is, the second support rod 222 is locked between the second blocking member 92 and the seat 3. Thus, when the locking device 9 is in the locking state, the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 lock the connection relationships between the first support rod 221, the second support rod 222 and the seat 3. In some embodiments, the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 are arranged separately or connected together.
[0398] According to the connection relationship between the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92, the elastic element 93 may include one or more springs. For example, when the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 are arranged separately, the elastic element includes one spring for driving the first blocking member 91 and another spring for driving the second blocking member 92. In the third embodiment, the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 are connected together, and in this case, the elastic element includes one spring, and the spring acts on the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 at the same time.
[0399] Referring to FIG. 24 to FIG. 27, when the seat 3 needs to be removed from the support frame 22, the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 are driven to move toward an opening direction N, so that the first blocking member 91 and the second blocking member 92 exit the first positioning groove 31 and the second positioning groove 32 at the same time, and the locking device 9 is switched to the unlocking state shown in FIG. 26 and FIG. 27. At this time, the seat 3 may be lifted up and easily disassembled from the support frame 22.

[0435] Referring to FIG. 45 and FIG. 46, the upper end of the swing arm 21 is provided with the pivot 211, and the pivot 211 is connected to the swing arm 21 in the non-rotatable manner, and the pivot 211 is rotatable relative to the fixing member 41. In some embodiments, the pivot 211 and the swing arm 21 are integrally formed. For example, the pivot 211 is arranged to pass through the limiting groove 411. Referring to FIG. 38 to FIG. 41, the end of the pivot 211 passes through the hole 1704 in the fifth housing portion 171 and enters the limiting groove 411, then goes out of the center hole 41100 in the groove bottom 41102. In some embodiments, a positioning groove 2117 is formed on the pivot 211, and an axial limiting member, such as a spring 27, engages with the positioning groove 2117. The spring 27 is located outside the limiting groove 411 and abuts against the groove bottom 41102to restrict an axial movement of the pivot 211. When the swing ami 21 receives a swing force, the swing arm 21, together with the pivot 211, swings around the axis of the pivot 211.
[0436] In some unshown embodiments, the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112 may be formed on the inner wall of the limiting groove 411. The abutting member 42 is arranged on the pivot 211, and the abutting member 42 is connected to the pivot 211 in the non- rotatable manner and located between the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112. The abutting member 42 restricts the swing angle of the swing arm 21 by means of abutting against the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112. Referring to FIG. 40, in some embodiments, the abutting member 42 and the pivot 211 are separate structures, and locking grooves 2116 are formed on the pivot 211. The abutting member 42 has an engaging opening 420, and the abutting member 42 is locked in the locking grooves 2116 through the engaging opening 420. When the seat 3 is in the swing mode, the abutting member 42 restricts the swing angle of the swing arm 21 by means of abutting against the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112. When the swing angle of the swing arm 21 is restricted, the swing angle of the auxiliary swing arm 29 is also restricted.
[0437] Referring to FIG. 38 to FIG. 40, in some embodiments, the limiting groove 411 has the limiting member 43. More specifically, the limiting member 43 is, for example, a plate member inserted into the limiting groove 411. The first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112 configured to abut against the abutting member 42 are formed on the limiting member 43. In some embodiments, the limiting member 43 slidably engages with the limiting groove 411, and the limiting member 43 may further lock the swing of the swing arm 21 by changing the position of the limiting member 43 inside the limiting groove 411.
[0438] Referring to FIG. 43, the limiting member 43 includes a first region 43a and a second region 43b, and the first region 43a and the second region 43b are sequentially arranged in the extension direction of the limiting groove 411. The first region 43a has the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112, and the second region 43b is adapted to engage with the abutting member 42 to lock the swing of the swing arm 21. The limiting member 43 has a first position or a second position, and when the limiting member 43 is switched between the first position and the second position, the first region 43a and the second region 43b selectively engage with the abutting member 42. Referring to FIG. 45, when the limiting member 43 moves to the first position, the first region 43a engages with the abutting member 42, the swing arm 21 may swing, and the seat 3 is in the swing mode. The abutting member 42 abuts against the first limiting surface 4111 or against the second limiting 4— 7 surface 4112 along 7 with the swing t—7 of the swing arm 21, ? and the swing ang to-7le of the swing arm 21 is controlled. Referring to FIG. 46, when the limiting member 43 moves to the second position, the second region 43b engages with the abutting member 42, the swing arm 21 is locked, and the seat 3 is switched from the swing mode to the fixed mode.
[0439] Referring to FIG. 43, in some embodiments, the limiting member 43 includes a force receiving plate 435, and two arms 436 extending from the force receiving plate 435. Referring to FIG. 38 and FIG. 39, the abutting member 42 is adjacent to the groove opening 41101, and the force receiving plate 435 is adjacent to the groove bottom 41102, and the two arms 436 extend from the force receiving plate 435 towards the groove opening 41101, that is, the two arms 436 extend along the axial direction of the limiting groove 411. The force receiving plate 435 is configured to receive a driving force to make the limiting member 43 move axially. The force receiving plate 435 has a center hole 4350, and the pivot 211 is configured to pass through the center hole 4350.
[0440] Referring to FIG. 43, in order to prevent the limiting member 43 from rotating relative to the fixing member 41, the outer contour of the force receiving plate 435 has a non-circular shape. Referring to FIG. 41, a side wall 41131 of the limiting groove 411 has a first axial guiding portion 4113 that slidably engages with the force receiving plate 435, and the first axial guiding portion 4113 is configured to guide an axial movement of the limiting member 43. The first region 43a and the second region 43b are formed at different axial positions of each arm 436. By controlling back and forth movements of the limiting member 43 between the first position and the second position, the first region 43a and the second region 43b selectively engages with the abutting member 42. In FIG. 43, the first region 43a is closer to the force receiving plate 435 than the second region 43b. In some embodiments, the axial positions of the first region 43a and the second region 43b may be exchanged, such that the first region 43a is farther way from the force receiving plate 435 than the second region 43b.
[0441] Referring to FIG. 38 and FIG. 42, the abutting member 42, for example, is located between a step 4106 and an end of the sleeve 1712 in the limiting groove 411, so that an axial movement of the abutting member 42 is restricted. In some embodiments, an axial position of the abutting member 42 may also be fixed by any other suitable structure. Two first groove portions 427 are formed on the outer periphery of the abutting member 42, and each of the first groove portions 427 includes a first end wall 4271 and a second end wall 4272 opposite to each other. The two arms 436 of the limiting member 43 are configured to pass through the two first groove portions 427, respectively. Referring to FIG. 44 and FIG. 45, when the first region 43a engages with the abutting member 42, the swing arms 21 may swing, and the abutting member 42 rotates around the axis of the pivot 211. When the first end walls 4271 swing to abut against respective first limiting surfaces 4111 of the corresponding first regions 43a, the swing arm 21 cannot continue to swing in the first direction Tl. Similarly, when the second end walls 4272 swing to abut against respective second limiting surfaces 4112 of the corresponding first regions 43a, the swing arm 21 cannot continue to swing in the second direction T2. The first direction Tl and the second direction T2 are opposite. It should be noted that although two arms 436 and two first groove portions 427 are taken as an example for illustration, in some embodiments, the number of the arm 436 and the number of the first groove portion 427 may be, for example, one or more, respectively.
[0442] Referring to FIG. 43, a first clamping block 4363 is arranged on the second region 43b of each of the arms 436, and each first clamping block 4363 extends inwards radially. Referring to FIG. 42 and FIG. 44, the abutting member 42 may also be provided with two second groove portions 428, and the two second groove portions 428 are formed at the groove bottom s 4273 of the two first groove portions 427, respectively. Referring to FIG. 46, when the second region 43b engages with the abutting member 42, the two second groove portions 428 are adapted to engage with the first clamping blocks 4363, respectively, and at this time, the abutting member 42 and the swing arm 21 are locked and cannot swing. It should be understood that although two second groove portions 428 and two first clamping blocks 4363 are taken as an example for illustration, in some embodiments, the number of the second groove portion 428 and the number of the first clamping block 4363 are, for example, one or more, respectively.
[0443] Referring to FIG. 51, in some embodiments, the first groove portion 427 and the second groove portion 428 in each set coincide with each other. At this time, referring to FIG. 52, the structure of the first region 43a of each arm 436 may not change, and the second region 43b of each arm 436 may include second clamping blocks 4365 extending in the directions perpendicular to the extension direction of each arm 436. When the first region 43a of each of the arm 436 engages with the corresponding first groove portion 427, the swing arm 21 can swing. When the second region 43b of each arm 436 engages with the first groove portion 427 (also equivalent to the second groove portion 428), each of the second clamping blocks 4365 engages with the corresponding first groove portion 427, and the swing of the swing arm 21 is locked.
[0444] Referring to FIG. 38 to FIG. 40, a third elastic element 46 is arranged in the limiting groove 411, and the third elastic element 46 is configured to apply a driving force to the force receiving plate 435 to force the force receiving plate 435 to move towards the groove bottom 41102. In some embodiments, the third elastic element 46 is, for example, clamped between the abutting member 42 and the force receiving plate 435. In addition, the baby carrier may also include a third swing locking mechanism 47, and the third swing locking mechanism 47 is operatively connected to the force receiving plate 435 to drive the limiting member 43 to be switched between the first position and the second position. That is, under the action of the third elastic element 46 and the third locking mechanism 47, the force receiving plate 435 may move axially along the limiting groove 411, so that the limiting member 43 moves to the first position or the second position. As described above, when the limiting member 43 is at the first position, the first region 43a of the arm 436 engages with the abutting member 42, and the seat 3 is in the swing mode. When the limiting member 43 is at the second position, the second region 43b of the arm 436 engages with the abutting member 42, and the swing arm 21 cannot swing, and the seat 3 is in the fixed mode.
[0445] Referring to FIG. 38 to FIG. 41 and FIG. 47 and FIG. 48, an exemplary implementation of the third swing locking mechanism 47 is shown. The third swing locking mechanism 47 includes a driving wheel 471, and the driving wheel 471 fits over the pivot 211 through the center hole 4710 and is located between the force receiving plate 435 and the groove bottom 41102. The driving wheel 471 abuts against one side, facing the groove bottom 41102, of the force receiving plate 435. The wall of the limiting groove 411 is provided with ratchet portions 4117, and the driving wheel 471 is provided with a ratchet groove part 4711. The ratchet groove part 4711 includes the first ratchet groove 47111 having a first groove depth Hl and a second ratchet groove 47112 having a second groove depth H2, which are sequentially arranged circumferentially. The first groove depth Hl is not equal to the second groove depth H2. The numbers of the ratchet portion 4117, the first ratchet groove 47111 and the second ratchet groove 47112 may be designed as required. For example, in some embodiments, four ratchet portions 4117 are provided, and accordingly, four first ratchet grooves 47111 and four second ratchet grooves 47112 are provided.
[0446] Referring to FIG. 38, FIG. 39 and FIG. 47, in some embodiments, the first groove depth Hl is less than the second groove depth H2. The driving wheel 471 moves axially and rotates circumferentially when receiving a pressing force S, so that the ratchet portion 4117 engages with the first ratchet groove 47111 and the second ratchet groove 47112 in sequence. In some embodiments, when the ratchet portion 4117 engages with the first ratchet groove 47111, the limiting member 43 is in the first position as shown in FIG. 45. When the ratchet portion 4117 engages with the second ratchet groove 47112, the limiting member 43 is in the second position as shown in FIG. 46. In some embodiments, when the ratchet portion 4117 engages with the first ratchet groove 47111, the limiting member 43 is in the second position, and when the ratchet portion 4117 engages with the second ratchet groove 47112, the limiting member 43 is in the first position.
[0447] Referring to FIG. 41, FIG. 47 and FIG. 48, in order to drive the driving wheel 471 easily, the third swing locking mechanism 47 further includes a press member 472. The press member 472 has a pressing portion 4721, and a pushing portion 4722 extending from the pressing portion 4721. A mounting hole 41103 is formed in the groove bottom 41102 of the limiting groove 411, and the pushing portion 4722 extends into the limiting groove 411 through the mounting hole 41103. The pushing portion 4722 is configured to apply a pressing force S to a bevel 47101 of the first ratchet groove 47111 of the driving wheel 471 or to a bevel 47102 of the second ratchet groove 47112 of the driving wheel 471, so that the driving wheel 471 simultaneously makes an axial movement and a circumferential rotation, and that the ratchet portion 4117 of the fixing member 41 engages with the first ratchet groove 47111 and the second ratchet groove 47112 in sequence. Referring to FIG. 41 and FIG. 49, in some embodiments, the pushing portion 4722 includes two pushing arms 47220 extending from the pressing portion 4721. A pushing step 47221 is formed in the middle of each pushing arm
47220 and configured to apply a pressing force S to the bevel 47101 or the bevel 47102 of the driving wheel 471. It should be understood that in some embodiments, the number of the pushing arms 47220 is not limited to two. Referring to FIG. 43, an evading opening 4351 is formed at a position on the force receiving plate 435 corresponding to a position of each pushing arm 47220.
[0448] A process of switching the seat 3 between the fixed mode and the swing mode will be described in detail herein by combining with FIG. 41, and FIG. 45 to FIG. 49.
[0449] When the seat 3 is in the fixed mode in which the seat 3 cannot swing, the swing ami 21 cannot swing, the ratchet portion 4117 engages with the second ratchet groove 47112, the limiting member 43 is in the second position as shown in FIG. 46, and the first clamping block 4363 and the second groove portion 428 engage. Press the press member 472 once at this time, the pushing step
47221 of the pushing portion 4722 will engage with the bevel 47102, to drive the driving wheel 471 to rotate in the circumferential direction while moving in the axial direction. The axial movement of the driving wheel 471 drives the limiting member 43 to leave the second position thereof, and the circumferential rotation of the driving wheel 471 drives the ratchet portion 4117 to face the bevel 47101 of the first ratchet groove 47111. Then release the press member 472, and the third elastic element 46 will exert a driving force to drive the force receiving plate 435 to move to the groove bottom 41102, thereby reversely pushing the driving wheel 471. While the bevel 47101 of the first ratchet groove 47111 of the driving wheel 471 abuts against the ratchet portion 4117, the driving wheel 471 rotates until the first ratchet groove 47111 engages with the ratchet portion 4117. At this time, the limiting member 43 reaches the first position, the swing arm 21 can swing, and the seat 3 is switched to the swing mode.
[0450] Similarly, when the seat 3 is in the swing mode, press the press member 472 once, the ratchet portion 4117 disengages from the first ratchet groove 47111 and engages with the second ratchet groove 47112, the limiting member 43 reaches the second position, and the swing arm 21 cannot swing, and the seat 3 is switched to the fixed mode.
[0451] In some embodiments, the position of the ratchet portion 4117 on the wall of the limiting groove 411 and the position of the ratchet groove portion 4711 on the driving wheel 471 may be interchanged, that is, the ratchet portion 4117 is arranged on the driving wheel 471, and the first ratchet groove 47111 and the second ratchet groove 47112 are arranged on the wall of the limiting groove 411. In this case, when the driving wheel 471 receives the pressing force S to move axially and rotate circumferentially, the ratchet portion 4117 engages with the first ratchet groove 47111 and the second ratchet groove 47112 sequentially along with the rotation of the driving wheel 471, which can also achieve the effect of controlling the limiting member 43 to be switched between the first position and the second position.
[0452] Referring to FIG. 38 and FIG. 39, in some embodiments, the third swing locking mechanism 47 further includes a restoring spring 473. In this case, after the press member 472 is pressed each time, the restoring spring 473 drives the press member 472 to reset, so that the press member 472 resets to a position convenient for a next press.
[0453] Referring to FIG. 38, FIG. 39 and FIG. 49, in some embodiments, a hook 47222 is formed at each end of the pushing arm. An axial distance between the pushing step 47221 and the hook 47222 is greater than an axial length of the driving wheel 471, and the driving wheel 471 is located between the pushing step 47221 and the hook 47222. The hook 47222 is configured to hook the driving wheel 471 after the pressing force S is withdrawn, so as to restrict a travel distance of the press member 472 in the process of resetting and prevent the pushing step 47221 from being too far away from the driving wheel 471, which is conducive to a reduction of a next pressing stroke of the press member 472. In some embodiments, each pushing arm has a protruding finger 47223, and the protruding finger 47223 is located in the limiting groove 411 and limited by the groove bottom 41102, which can prevent the press member 472 from being detached from the fixing member 41.
[0454] Referring to FIG. 40 and FIG. 47, a projecting ring 4713 is arranged on a side, facing the force receiving plate 435, of the driving wheel 471, and an outer diameter of the projecting ring 4713 is smaller than that of the driving wheel 471. A gap between the outer periphery of the proj ecting ring 4713 and the outer periphery of the driving wheel 471 allows the hook 47222 to hook. The projecting ring 4713 and the force receiving plate 435 keeps abutting against each other.
[0455] Referring to FIG. 37 and FIG. 40, in some embodiments, a limiting recess 1701 is formed on the outer side of the third mounting housing 17, and the limiting recess 1701 has a first limiting wall 17011 and a second limiting wall 17012. The swing arm 21 swings between the first limiting wall 17011 and the second limiting wall 17012. The first limiting wall 17011 and the second limiting wall 17012 may also perform a function of restricting the swing angle of the swing arm 21. In some embodiments, a limiting recess 1702 is also formed on the outer side of the third mounting housing 17, and the limiting recess 1702 corresponds to the auxiliary swing arm 29. The limiting recess 1702 has a third limiting arm 17021 and a fourth limiting arm 17022, the auxiliary swing arm 29 swings between the third limiting arm 17021 and the fourth limiting arm 17022. The third limiting arm 17021 and the fourth limiting arm 17022 perform a function of restricting the swing angle of the auxiliary swing arm 29.
[0456] In addition, in some embodiments, the third swing locking mechanism 47 may not be provided, but the first swing locking mechanism 6 in the first embodiment is arranged inside the third mounting housing 17, which may also lock the swing of the swing arm 21 to switch the seat 3 from the swing mode to the fixed mode.
[0457] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, although the swing limiting mechanism 4 is arranged between the swing arm 21 and the main frame 1, in other embodiments, the swing limiting mechanism 4 may be arranged between the auxiliary swing arm 29 and the main frame 1. In addition, in some embodiments, the swing limiting mechanism 4 may not be arranged on the support pipe 11, as long as the main frame 1 has any structure capable of positioning the fixing member 41.
[0458] In addition, the swing arm 21 and the auxiliary swing arm 29 parallel to each other provided in this embodiment may also be applied to the baby carrier provided in the first embodiment and the second embodiment above, so that the seat 3 can remain horizontal while swinging in the swing mode. [0459] A swing mechanism is also provided in this embodiment. The swing mechanism includes the fixing member 41, the swing arm 21 and the abutting member 42. The differences between the swing mechanism in this embodiment and the swing mechanism in the first embodiment are mainly described hereinafter, and the same or similarities thereof will not be described repeatedly.
[0460] The extension direction of the limiting groove 411 of the fixing member 41 is parallel to the axial direction of the pivot 211. The limiting member 43 is arranged in the limiting groove 411 of the fixing member 41. More specifically, the limiting member 43 is, for example, a plate piece inserted into the limiting groove 411 of the fixing member 41. The position of the limiting member 43 in the limiting groove 411 is adjustable. The limiting member 43 includes the first region 43a and the second region 43b, and the first region 43a has the first limiting surface 4111 and the second limiting surface 4112. The second region 43b is adapted to engage with the abutting member 42 to lock the swing arm 21. The limiting member 43 slidably engages with the limiting groove 411 and has a first position and a second position. When the limiting member 43 is in the first position, the first region 43a engages with the abutting member 42, and the swing arm 21 can swing within a preset angle range. When the limiting member 43 is in the second position, the second region 43b engages with the abutting member 42, and the swing arm 21 is locked and cannot swing. For the implementation of the limiting member 43 and the abutting member 42, reference may be made to the above description. [0461] The swing mechanism may be further provided with the third swing locking mechanism 47 and the third elastic element 46 to adjust the position of the limiting member 43 in the limiting groove 411.
[0462] The swing mechanism can not only allow the swing arm 21 to swing within the preset angle range, but also lock the swing arm 21 so that the swing arm 21 does not swing.
[0463] Sixth Embodiment
[0464] FIG. 55 to FIG. 72 illustratively show a structure of the baby carrier provided by the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure. As the baby carrier in the first embodiment, the second embodiment and the fifth embodiment, the baby carrier in the sixth embodiment is also illustrated by taking a baby dining chair as an example. The type of baby carrier is not limited to the baby dining chair. Referring to FIG. 55, the baby carrier includes, for example, the main frame 1, the swing bracket assembly 2 and the seat 3.
[0465] Referring to FIG. 55, the structure of the main frame 1 in the sixth embodiment is similar to the structure of the main frame 1 in the first embodiment.

For the interrelationships of these components of the main frame 1, reference may be made to the description in the first embodiment, which will not be repeated herein.
[0466] Referring to FIG. 55, a structure of the seat 3 is similar to the structure of the seat 3 in the first embodiment. The seat 3 includes the base 305, two safety fences 306, the back 307, the dinner plate 308 or the front armrest, and the foot shelf 309, etc. If no conflict occurs, for the connection relationship between these components of the seat 3, reference may be made to the description in the first embodiment, which will not be repeated here.
[0467] Referring to FIG. 55, the left and right sides of the seat 3 each are pivotally connected to the main frame 1 through the swing bracket assembly 2, so that the seat 3 can swing backwards and forwards relative to the main frame 1, and that the seat 3 has the swing mode. In some embodiments, the swing bracket assembly 2 is pivotally connected to the main frame 1, and the swing bracket assembly 2 is pivotally connected to the seat 3. The baby carrier also includes a seat retaining mechanism 39 (shown in FIG. 62) arranged between the main frame 1 and the seat 3. The seat 3 swings backwards and forwards relative to the main frame 1 by means of the swing bracket assembly 2, and the seat retaining mechanism 39 is configured to control the seat 3 to remain horizontal while the seat 3 is swinging backwards and forwards relative to the main frame 1, such that a baby seated in the seat 3 will not lean forward or backward along with the swing, thereby effectively avoiding the risk of the baby falling down from the seat 3. In addition, the seat 3 remaining horizontal during the swing can also effectively prevent items on the dinner plate 308 from falling down.
[0468] Referring to FIG. 56, in some embodiments, the main frame 1 has a first pivot portion 183, and is pivotally connected to the upper end of the swing bracket assembly 2 through the first pivot portion 183. In order to arrange the first pivot portion 183 conveniently, the main frame 1 may also include a fourth mounting housing 18, and the first pivot portion 183 is mounted on the fourth mounting housing 18. In some embodiments, the fourth mounting housing 18 is mounted, for example, on the support pipe 11 of the main frame 1. In some embodiments, according to the change of the structure of the main frame 1, the installation position of the fourth mounting housing 18 may also change.
[0469] Referring to FIG. 56, in some embodiments, the fourth mounting housing 18 may be formed by butting a seventh housing portion 181 and an eighth housing portion 182, for example, the seventh housing portion 181 and the eighth housing portion 182 are joined together then secured with screws 189. The seventh housing portion 181 is closer to the longitudinal center plane (or called the center plane of the left-right symmetry) of the baby carrier than the eighth housing portion 182. The eighth housing portion 182 has, for example, a fourth sleeve portion 180, and the fourth sleeve portion 180 fits over the end of the support pipe 11. In some embodiments, the fourth sleeve portion 180 and the support pipe 11 are fixedly connected, for example, by a fastener such as a screw. An operating button 184 is installed on the eighth housing portion 182, and configured to, for example, release a locking relationship between the support pipe 11 and the front foot support 101, so that the support pipe 11 can extend and retract relative to the front foot support 101 to adjust the height of the seat 3.
[0470] Referring to FIG. 57, in some embodiments, the first pivot portion 183 includes a mounting portion 1832 and a first pivoting ring 1833. The mounting portion 1832 is arranged on the fourth mounting housing 18, and the first pivoting ring 1833 is connected to the fourth mounting housing 18 by means of the mounting portion 1832. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 1832 is a column-shaped structure fixedly connected to the seventh housing portion 181 of the fourth m ounting housing 18 and protruding relative to the seventh housing portion 181. The mounting portion 1832 cannot rotate relative to the fourth mounting housing 18. The column-shaped mounting portion 1832 and the seventh housing portion 181 are integrally formed, or fixed together by screwing, riveting, or welding. The first pivoting ring 1833 fits over, but cannot rotate relative to, the column-shaped mounting portion 1832. The first pivoting ring 1833 is pivotally connected to the swing bracket assembly 2. It should be understood that the implementation of the first pivot portion 183 is not limited to the above examples. For example, in some embodiments, the mounting portion 1832 is a locking groove formed in the fourth mounting housing 18, and the locking groove has a groove opening formed on the seventh housing portion 181 and configured to allow the first pivoting ring 1833 to insert. The first pivoting ring 1833 fits over the mounting portion 1832 which is the locking groove through the groove opening in a non-rotatable manner. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first pivot portion 183 is an integral member instead of being assembled by multiple parts, and in this case, the first pivot portion 183 and the seventh housing portion 181 are integrally formed.
[0471] Referring to FIG. 57, in some embodiments, at least one second guiding groove 18321 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the column-shaped mounting portion 1832, and at least one projecting rib 18333 is arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the first pivoting ring 1833. When the first pivoting ring 1833 is mounted onto the column-shaped mounting portion 1832 along a mounting direction QI, the second guiding groove 18321 and the projecting rib 18333 engage in a manner of a concave-convex fit, and the engagement thereof guides the first pivoting ring 1833 to fit over the column-shaped mounting portion 1832 on one hand, and on the other hand, prevents a relative rotation between the first pivoting ring 1833 and the column-shaped mounting portion 1832. In some embodiments, the position of the projecting rib 18333 and the position of the second guiding groove
18321 may be interchanged.
[0472] Referring to FIG. 57, in some embodiments, at least one first elastic arm 18322 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the column-shaped mounting portion 1832, and the first elastic arm
18322 has a projecting finger 18323. A locking portion 18332 is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the first pivoting ring 1833, and the locking portion 18332 is, for example, a groove 18302 formed on the inner peripheral wall of the first pivoting ring 1833. When the first pivoting ring 1833 is installed onto the column-shaped mounting portion 1832 along the installation direction QI, after the locking portion 18332 passes over the projecting finger 18323, the projecting finger 18323 rebounds and abuts against the locking portion 18332, thereby effectively preventing the first pivoting ring 1833 from being separated from the column-shaped mounting portion 1832.
[0473] Referring to FIG. 58, in some embodiments, the swing bracket assembly 2 includes a swing housing 23. The swing housing 23 includes, for example a cover 2301 and a fence 2302 extending from an edge of the cover 2301. The opening 2303 surrounded and formed by the fence 2302 may be shielded by the safety fence 306 of the seat 3. The first pivot portion 183 is received inside the swing housing 23. More specifically, the cover 2301 has a mounting hole 230, and a first receiving portion 231 corresponding to the mounting hole 230 is formed inside the swing housing 23. The first pivoting ring 1833 is sleeved inside the first receiving portion 231, and the column-shaped mounting portion 1832 extends into the swing housing 23 through the mounting hole 230 to be sleeved inside the first pivoting ring 1833. When the seat 3 swings relative to the main frame 1, the swing housing 23 rotates relative to the axis of the first pivoting ring 1833.
[0474] Referring to FIG. 58, in some embodiments, the baby carrier further includes a first axial limiting mechanism 2311, and the first axial limiting mechanism 2311 is configured to restrict the axial movement of the first pivoting ring 1833 relative to the swing housing 23, thereby preventing the swing housing 23 from being separated from the fourth mounting housing 18 of the main frame 1.
[0475] Referring to FIG. 58 and FIG. 65, in some embodiments, the first axial limiting mechanism 2311 includes a limiting step 23111 and an elastic stopping block 23112 arranged on the wall of the first receiving portion 231. When the first pivoting ring 1833 engages with the first receiving portion 231 of the swing housing 23 along the installation direction Q2, the elastic stopping block 23112 elastically deforms to allow the first pivoting ring 1833 to be sleeved into the first receiving portion
231. When one end surface of the first pivoting ring 1833 abuts against the limiting step 23111, the elastic stopping block 23112 rebounds and abuts against the other end surface of the first pivoting ring 1833, forcing the first pivoting ring 1833 to be clamped between the limiting step 23111 and the elastic stopping block 23112.
[0476] Referring to FIG. 65, in some embodiments, a first guiding groove 18331 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the first pivoting ring 1833, during the installation of the first pivoting ring 1833 and the swing housing 23, the elastic stopping block 23112 slidably engages with the first guiding groove 18331. The groove depth H3 of the first guiding groove 18331 gradually becomes larger along the installation direction Q2 of the first pivoting ring 1833, and/or, the width W of the first guiding groove 18331 gradually becomes larger along the installation direction of the first pivoting ring 1833. Such a design of the first guiding groove 18331 is beneficial to reduction of the installation difficulty of the swing housing 23 and the first pivoting ring 1833.
[0477] Referring to FIG. 59 and FIG. 60, a lower end of the swing bracket assembly 2 is pivotally connected to the safety fence 306 of the seat 3. In some embodiments, the second pivot portion 38 is arranged on the safety fence 306 of the seat 3, and the safety fence 306 of the seat 3 is pivotally connected to the lower end of the swing bracket assembly 2 through the second pivot portion 38, more specifically, is pivotally connected to the lower end of the swing housing 23. In some embodiments, the second pivot portion 38 includes a second pivoting ring 382. The second pivoting ring 382 is fixedly connected to the safety fence 306. In some embodiments, the second pivot portion 38 and the safety fence 306 are integrally formed or fixed together by screwing, riveting, or welding. The second pivoting ring 382 cannot rotate relative to the safety fence 306 of the seat 3.
[0478] Referring to FIG. 58 and FIG. 59, in some embodiments, the swing housing 23 has a second receiving portion 232. When an opening 2303 of the swing housing 23 is covered by the safety fence 306, the second pivoting ring 382 is sleeved in the second receiving portion 232 of the swing housing
232. When the seat 3 swings relative to the main frame 1, a relative rotation may occur between the second pivoting ring 382 and the swing housing 23.
[0479] Referring to FIG. 59 and FIG. 65, in some embodiments, the baby carrier further includes a second axial limiting mechanism 2312, and the second axial limiting mechanism 2312 is configured to restrict an axial m ovement of the swing housing 23 relative to the second pivoting ring 382, thereby avoid a separation of the swing housing 23 and the safety fence 306.
[0480] Referring to FIG. 59 and FIG. 65, in some embodiments, the second axial limiting mechanism 2312 includes a second elastic arm 23121 located in the second receiving portion 232. When the swing housing 23 is connected to the safety fence 306, the second elastic arm 23121 passes through an inner hole 3820 of the second pivoting ring 382, and then a projecting finger 231211 of the second elastic arm 23121 engages with the edge of the inner hole 3820, thus the swing housing 23 is connected to the safety fence 306. [0481] Referring to FIG. 61 and FIG. 62, the seat retaining mechanism 39 is installed on the swing housing 23 of the swing bracket assembly 2 and arranged between the main frame 1 and the seat 3. More specifically, the seat retaining mechanism 39 is connected between the first pivot portion 183 and the second pivot portion 38. The seat retaining mechanism 39 is configured such that when the seat 3 swings backwards and forwards relative to the main frame 1, the swing bracket assembly 2 swings around the first pivot portion 183 (more specifically, around the axis of the first pivoting ring 1833) for the first angle in one direction (shown in FIG. 69 and FIG. 71). Under the action of the seat retaining mechanism 39, the seat 3 swings around the second pivot portion 38 (more specifically, around the axis of the second pivoting ring 382) for the first angle in another opposite direction. Thus, the rotations of the seat 3 in two directions are offset, and the seat 3 remains horizontal in the process of swinging backwards and forwards relative to the main frame 1.
[0482] The seat 3 remains horizontal during the swing, which allows a larger swing range of the swing bracket assembly 2. For example, the maximum backward swing angle of the swing bracket assembly 2 relative to its starting position is not restricted within 20 degrees, for example, may be 25 degrees or greater than 25 degrees. Referring to FIG. 66, the starting position of the swing housing 23 of the swing bracket assembly 2 is substantially perpendicular to the ground. The maximum forward swing angle is not limited to within 20 degrees, for example, may be 25 degrees or greater than 25 degrees.
[0483] The seat retaining mechanism 39 may be implemented in many ways, as long as the effect that the seat 3 remains horizontal during the swing can be achieved. FIG. 62 shows an exemplary structure of the seat retaining mechanism 39. The seat retaining mechanism 39 includes a gear transmission system 391. The gear transmission system 391 is installed in the swing housing 23 and includes, for example, a driving gear 3911. The driving gear 3911 is installed on the support column 2309 (shown in FIG. 65), and the support column 2309 is connected to the cover 2301. The driving gear 3911 has a third tooth part 39111 and a fourth tooth part 39112. The first pivot portion 183 includes a first tooth portion 1831, and the first tooth portion 1831 is, for example, formed on part of the outer peripheral wall of the first pivoting ring 1833. The second pivot portion 38 includes a second tooth portion 381, and the second tooth portion 381 is, for example, formed on part of the outer peripheral wall of the second pivoting ring 382. The first tooth portion 1831 and the second tooth portion 381 each mesh with the driving gear 3911 of the gear transmission system 391. More specifically, the first tooth portion 1831 meshes with the third tooth part 39111 of the driving gear 3911, and the second tooth portion 381 meshes with the fourth tooth part 39112 of the driving gear 3911.
[0484] Mutual positional relationships of the first tooth portion 1831, the driving gear 3911, and the second tooth portion 381 will be illustrated by combining FIG. 66 to FIG. 71 when the seat 3 swings relative to the main frame 1, thereby illustrating the swing of the seat 3 relative to the main frame 1 in the form that the seat 3 remains horizontal.
[0485] Referring to FIG. 66 and FIG. 67, the seat 3 is at the lowest swing position, and the swing angle of the seat 3 is zero at this time. A sign O' in the figures denotes a pivoting center of the first pivoting ring 1833, and a sign O" denotes a pivoting center of the second pivoting ring 382. At this time, a line X connected between the pivoting center O' and the pivoting center O" is substantially perpendicular to the ground, and an included angle 8 is formed between the back 307 of the seat 3 and the line X.
[0486] Referring to FIG. 68 and FIG. 69, the seat 3 swings backward in the first direction T1 relative to the main frame 1, and at this time, an angle 0 is formed between the line X connected between the pivot center O' and the pivot center O", and a vertical line Z, where the vertical line Z is perpendicular to the ground. The angle 0 is a first angle for which the swing housing 23 swings around the pivot center O’ in a direction Y 1. The swing of the swing housing 23 drives the driving gear 3911 to rotate relative to the first pivoting ring 1833, then the rotation of the driving gear 3911 drives the second pivot portion 38 and the seat 3 to swing around the pivot center O" in a direction Y2 for the first angle. The direction Y2 is opposite to the direction Yl. At this time, an included angle (5+0) is formed between the back 307 of the seat 3 and the line X, that is, the angle 5 between the back 307 and the vertical line Z remains unchanged, that is, the seat 3 remains horizontal during the backward swing. [0487] Referring to FIG. 70 and FIG. 71, the seat 3 swings forwards in the second direction T2 relative to the main frame 1. At this time, an angle r| is formed between the line X connected between the pivot center O’ and the pivot center O", and the vertical line Z. The angle i] is a first angle for which the swing housing 23 swings around the pivot center O' in a direction Y3. The swing of the swing housing 23 drives the driving gear 3911 to rotate relative to the first pivoting ring 1833, then the rotation of the driving gear 3911 drives the second pivot portion 38 and the seat 3 to swing around the pivot center O" in a direction Y4 for the first angle. The direction Y4 is opposite to the direction Y3. At this time, an included angle 6-r| is formed between the back 307 of the seat 3 and the line X, that is, the included angle 5 between the back 307 and the vertical line Z remains unchanged, and the seat 3 remains horizontal during the forward swing.
[0488] It should be noted that although in the above embodiment, the gear transmission system 391 is described by taking one driving gear 3911 as an example, in some other embodiments, the gear transmission system 391 may further include two or more driving gears 3911. More specifically, the first tooth portion 1831 meshes with, for example, one driving gear 3911 of the gear transmission system 391, and the second tooth portion 381 meshes with, for example, another driving gear 3911 of the gear transmission system 391. The two driving gears 3911 may mesh with each other directly or indirectly, which can also achieve the effect of controlling the seat 3 to remain horizontal during the backward and forward swing relative to the main frame 1.
[0489] Referring to FIG. 62, FIG. 64 and FIG. 65, in some embodiments, the baby carrier further includes a first swing limiting mechanism 481. The first swing limiting mechanism 481 is configured to restrict the swing angle of the swing housing 23 relative to the main frame 1, thereby controlling the swing range of the seat 3 within a safe range, and achieving the riding safety and comfort of the seat 3 in the swing mode.
[0490] The first swing limiting mechanism 481 may be implemented in various ways. Referring to FIG. 62, in some embodiments, the first swing limiting mechanism 481 includes a first groove 4810 and a first stopping portion 4811. The first groove 4810 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the first pivoting ring 1833, the first stopping portion 4811 is arranged on the wall of the first receiving portion 231, and the first stopping portion 4811 extends into the first groove 4810. When the swing housing 23 swings, the first stopping portion 4811 abuts against one of two end walls 48101 of the first groove 4810, thereby restricting the swing angle of the swing housing 23. In some embodiments, the position of the first groove 4810 and the position of the first stopping portion 4811 may be interchanged.
[0491] Referring to FIG. 59, FIG. 62 and FIG. 65, in some embodiments, the baby carrier further includes a second swing limiting mechanism 482. The second swing limiting mechanism 482 is configured to restrict the swing angle of the seat 3 relative to the swing housing 23 or relative to the main frame 1, thereby also playing a role in controlling the swing range of the seat 3 within the safe range.
[0492] The second swing limiting mechanism 482 may be implemented in various ways. Referring to FIG. 62, in some embodiments, the second swing limiting mechanism 482 includes a second groove 4820 and a second stopping portion 4821. The second groove 4820 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the second pivoting ring 382, the second stopping portion 4821 is arranged on the wall of the second receiving portion 232, and the second stopping portion 4821 extends into the second groove 4820. When the swing housing 23 swings, the second stopping portion 4821 abuts against one of two end walls 48201 of the second groove 4820, thereby restricting the swing angle of the seat 3. In some embodiments, the position of the second groove 4820 and the position of the second stopping portion 4821 may be interchanged.
[0493] Referring to FIG. 62 to FIG. 65, in some embodiments, the baby carrier may be further provided with a fourth swing locking mechanism 483. The fourth swing locking mechanism 483 indirectly locks or releases the swing of the seat 3 by locking or releasing the swing of the swing housing 23, so that the seat 3 can be switched between the fixed mode and the swing mode. It should be understood that the seat 3 cannot swing relative to the main frame 1 when the seat 3 is in the fixed mode. The fourth swing locking mechanism 483 may be implemented in various manners. For example, in some embodiments, the fourth swing locking mechanism 483 includes a locking pin elastically extending from the seventh housing portion 181 of the fourth mounting housing 18, and a releasing member configured to control extension and retraction of the locking pin. A locking hole is formed in the safety fence 306 of the seat 3, and when the locking pin is inserted into the locking hole, the seat 3 is switched to the fixed mode. When the locking pin retracts from the locking hole, the seat is switched to the swing mode.
[0494] FIG. 62 to FIG. 65 show an exemplary embodiment of the fourth swing locking mechanism 483, and the fourth swing locking mechanism 483 locks the swing of the swing housing 23 by means of locking the driving gear 3911. More specifically, the fourth swing locking mechanism 483 is installed on the swing housing 23, and includes a fourth releasing member 4831 and a locking block 4832. When the baby carrier is in the fixed mode, the locking block 4832 is inserted into the limiting groove 3910 of the driving gear 3911, thus the driving gear 3911 is locked and cannot rotate, then none of the second pivot portion 38, the swing housing 23, or the seat 3 can swing. As can be seen from FIG. 64, the limiting groove 3910 is located between a third tooth part 39111 and a fourth tooth part 39112. The fourth releasing member 4831 is operatively connected to the locking block 4832, and the fourth releasing member 4831 may drive the locking block 4832 disengage from the limiting groove 3910 to switch the baby carrier from the fixed mode to the swing mode.
[0495] In some embodiments, the fourth releasing member 4831 may be directly or indirectly connected to the locking block 4832. Referring to FIG. 63 to FIG. 65, in some embodiments, the fourth swing locking mechanism 483 further includes a driving member 4833, and the locking block 4832 is installed on the driving member 4833. More specifically, the locking block 4832 and the driving member 4833 are integrally formed. The fourth releasing member 4831 drives the locking block 4832 through the driving member 4833. The fourth releasing member 4831 may be arranged at any suitable position according to requirements (for example, the requirement of space layout) by means of arranging the driving member 4833.
[0496] In some embodiments, the driving member 4833 slidably engages with the swing housing 23, and the fourth releasing member 4831 slidably engages with the swing housing 23. The sliding direction of the fourth releasing member 4831 and the sliding direction of the driving member 4833 intersect, which is conductive to a compact structure of the fourth swing locking mechanism 483. In some embodiments, the sliding direction of the fourth releasing member 4831 may be perpendicular to the sliding direction of the driving member 4833.
[0497] Referring to FIG. 64, in some embodiments, the swing housing 23 has a seventh elongated hole 233. The fourth releasing member 4831 has an operation portion 48311 and a third column 48312 extending from operation portion 48311. The third column 48312 slidably engages with the seventh elongated hole 233. When the baby carrier needs to be switched between the fixed mode and the swing mode, the user may operate the operating portion 48311 so that the third column 48312 slides along the seventh elongated hole 233, and that the fourth releasing member 4831 may move to the unlocking position (shown in FIG. 62, FIG. 66 to FIG. 71) or the locking position (shown in FIG. 63 and FIG. 72). It may be understood that, when the fourth releasing member 4831 is at the unlocking position, the locking block 4832 retracts from the limiting groove 3910 (shown in FIG. 62), and the seat 3 may swing backwards and forwards relative to the main frame 1; and when the fourth releasing member 4831 is at the locking position, the locking block 4832 is inserted into the limiting groove 3910 (shown in FIG. 63), and the seat 3 cannot swing backwards and forwards relative to the main frame 1.
[0498] Referring to FIG. 65, in some embodiments, the cover 2301 of the swing housing 23 is provided with a guiding structure 2308, and the driving member 4833 slidably engages with the guiding structure 2308. The driving member 4833 also has a receiving hole 48338, and the receiving hole 48338 slidably engages with the support column 2309. The driving member 4833 has a third connecting hole 48330, and the third connecting hole 48330 has a third sloping wall 483301. The third column 48312 enters the third connecting hole 48330 after passing through the seventh elongated hole 233. Referring to FIG. 62 and FIG. 63, when the fourth releasing member 4831 moves from the locking position to the unlocking position, the third column 48312 pushes the third sloping wall 483301 so that the driving member 4833 drives the locking block 4832 to disengage from the limiting groove 3910. In some embodiments, a cap screw is installed in the center hole (not marked in the figure) of the third column 48312, and a cap of the cap screw abuts against the driving member 4831, thereby preventing the fourth releasing member 4831 from being detached from the driving member 4833. In some embodiments, the fourth releasing member 4831 is also prevented from being detached from the driving member 4833 by means of any other limiting structure.
[0499] In some not shown embodiments, the third connecting hole 48330 is an elongated hole, and the third connecting hole 48330 is inclined relative to the seventh elongated hole 233. When the fourth releasing member 4831 slides between the unlocking position and the locking position, the third column 48312 directly drives the driving member 4833 to slide, so that the locking block 4832 is inserted into or disengages from the limiting groove 3910.
[0500] Referring to FIG. 62 and FIG. 63, in some embodiments, the third connecting hole 48330 is substantially triangle-shaped. One end of the third sloping wall 483301 has a third limiting portion 483302, and the third limiting portion 483302 is configured to engage with the third column 48312, so that the fourth releasing member 4831 remains at the unlocking position. Thus, the fourth releasing member 4831 is kept at the unlocking position by mean of a simple structure.
[0501] Referring to FIG. 62 and FIG. 63, in some embodiments, the fourth swing locking mechanism 483 further includes a fourth elastic element 4834, and the fourth elastic element 4834 is configured to drive the locking block 4832 to be inserted into the limiting groove 3910. The fourth elastic element 4834 is, for example, a spring installed between the driving member 4833 and the fence 2302 of the swing housing 23.
[0502] Referring to FIG. 65, elastic claws 2331 are further arranged in the hole wall of the seventh elongated hole 233. When the fourth releasing member 4831 moves to the locking position, the elastic claws 2331 may clamp the third column 48312, thereby keeping the fourth releasing member 4831 at the locking position.
[0503] Referring to FIG. 64 and FIG. 65, in some embodiments, the driving member 4833 includes a first side portion 48331 and a second side portion 48332, which are opposite to each other, and a third side portion 48333 connected between the first side portion 48331 and the second side portion 48332. The driving gear 3911 is located between the first side portion 48331 and the second side portion 48332. The first side portion 48331 and the second side portion 48332 each form a receiving hole 48338 slidably engaging with the support column 2309. The locking block 4832 is arranged on the third side portion 48333. In some embodiments, the locking block 4832 and the driving member 4833 are integrally formed, and a recess 48320 for receiving the fourth elastic element 4834 is formed inside the locking block 4832.
[0504] Seventh Embodiment
[0505] FIG. 73 and FIG. 74 illustratively show a structure of the baby carrier provided by the seventh embodiment of the present disclosure. The baby carrier provided in this embodiment is a modification of the sixth embodiment above. If no conflict occurs, for structures of the components in this embodiment and a connection relationship between these components, reference may be made to the description in the sixth embodiment. The differences between this embodiment and the sixth embodiment are the implementation of the seat retaining mechanism 39 and the implementation of the swing locking mechanism for locking the swing of the seat 3, and mainly described hereinafter. [0506] The seat retaining mechanism 39 is, for example, symmetrically arranged on two sides of the seat 3. Referring to FIG. 75 and FIG. 76, the seat retaining mechanism 39 includes a sliding pin 392 and a sliding groove 393. One of the sliding pin 392 and the sliding groove 393 is disposed on the main frame 1, and the other thereof is arranged on the seat 3. When the swing bracket assembly 2 swings relative to the main frame 1, the sliding pin 392 and the sliding groove 393 slidably engage to control the seat 3 to remain horizontal relative to the main frame 1 during the forward and backward swing.
[0507] Referring to the embodiments described above, in some embodiments, the main frame 1 includes fourth mounting housings 18 arranged symmetrically at the left and right sides. Referring to FIG. 75, a sliding pin 392 is arranged on each fourth mounting housing 18, and the sliding pin 392 is, for example, parallel to the swing axis of the seat 3, namely, the axis of the swing of the seat 3 relative to the main frame 1. In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 76, the seventh housing portion 181 of the fourth mounting housing 18 has a fourth through hole 1810, and the sliding pin 392 is configured to pass through the fourth through hole 1810. In some embodiments, in order to form a sufficient support for the sliding pin 392, an hollow column 1812 protruding outwards is arranged on the seventh housing portion 181, and a center hole of the hollow column 1812 is the fourth through hole 1810.
[0508] Referring to the embodiments described above, in some embodiments, the seat 3 includes safety fences 306 arranged symmetrically at the left and right sides. Referring to FIG. 75, the sliding groove 393 is formed in the safety fence 306, and the sliding groove 393 has a curved shape. The engagement between the curve-shaped groove and the sliding pin 392 not only does not affect the forward and backward swing of the seat 3 relative to the main frame 1, but also ensures that the seat 3 remains horizontal during the swing, thereby preventing the seat 3 from leaning forward or backward. Referring to FIG. 78, when the seat 3 is installed on the support frame 1, the end of the hollow column 1812 abuts against the safety fence 306 of the seat 3, so that the sliding pin 392 extending from the fourth through hole 1810 stretches into the sliding groove 393.
[0509] Although in the above embodiment, the sliding pin 392 is arranged on the fourth mounting housing 18 of the main frame 1, and the sliding groove 393 is formed in the safety fence 306 of the seat 3, in some embodiments, the position of the sliding pin 392 on the main frame 1 and the position of the sliding groove 393 on the seat 3 may be interchanged.

The first elastic element 63 is configured to apply an elastic force to the locking pin 62, thus forcing the locking pin 62 to extend and be inserted into the locking hole 30. The first releasing member 61 is operatively connected to the locking pin 62 to push the locking pin 62 to retract from the locking hole 30. A moving direction of the first releasing member 61 is perpendicular to the extension and retraction direction of the locking pin 62.
[0548] Referring to FIG. 103 to FIG. 106, in some embodiments, the first releasing member 61 has a first connecting hole 6101, and the locking pin 62 has a first cylinder 6201. The first connecting hole 6101 has a first sloping wall 61011, and the first cylinder 6201 is configured to be inserted into the first connecting hole 6101. The first releasing member 61 has an unlocking position and a locking position, and a movement, between the unlocking position and the locking position, of the first releasing member 61 controls the extension and retraction of the locking pin 62. When the first releasing member 61 is at the locking position shown in FIG. 106, the locking pin 62 extends outwards and is inserted into the locking hole 30. When the first releasing member 61 moves from the locking position to the unlocking position along a direction of an arrow shown in FIG. 106, the first sloping wall 61011 abuts against the first cylinder 6201. The first cylinder 6201 is supported by the first sloping wall 61011 to drive the locking pin 62 to retract from the locking hole 30, so that the seat 3 may swing backwards and forwards relative to the main frame 1. In some embodiments, the position of the first connecting hole 6101 on the first releasing member 61 and the position of the first cylinder 6201 on the locking pin 62 may be interchanged.
[0549] Referring to FIG. 104 and FIG. 105, the swing housing 23 has a first sideway 2305 which slidably engages with the first releasing member 61, and a second sideway 2306 which slidably engages with the locking pin 62. The first sideway 2305 and the second sideway 2306 are perpendicular to each other. An inclined guiding wall 23061 is formed on the wall of the second sideway 2306, and the first cylinder 6201 is guided by the inclined guiding wall 23061 to enter the first connecting hole 6101.
[0550] Referring to FIG. 106, in some embodiments, one end of the first sloping wall 61011 has a first limiting portion 61012, and the first limiting portion 61012 is configured to engage with the first cylinder 6201 to keep the first releasing member 61 at the unlocking position, thereby keeping the locking pin 62 in a state of having been retracted from the locking hole 30.
[0551] Referring to FIG. 107, in some embodiments, the first elastic element 63 is a spring clamped between the swing housing 23 and the locking pin 62. The first releasing member 61 has an evading hole 6102 allowing the first elastic element 63 to pass through. It may be understood that when the first releasing member 61 moves from the unlocking position to the locking position, once the first cylinder 6201 is detached from the first limiting portion 61012 (shown in FIG. 106), the locking pin 62, driven by the first elastic element 63, automatically extends to be inserted into the locking hole 30. When the locking pin 62 is inserted into the locking hole 30, the swing housing 2 and the seat 3 cannot rotate relative to each other, so that the seat 3 cannot swing relative to the main frame 1, and that the swing of the seat 3 is locked.
[0552] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 102 to FIG. 107, although the first swing locking mechanism 6 is illustrated by taking the first swing locking mechanism 6 installed on the swing housing 23 of the swing bracket assembly 2 for an example, it should be understood that, in some embodiments, the first swing locking mechanism 6, for example, is installed on the fourth mounting housing 18 of the main frame 1.

[0556] Referring to FIG. Il l, FIG. 112 and FIG. 114, the locking pin 62 fits over the mounting column 64, and is extendable and retractable in the direction parallel to the swing axis of the seat 3, namely, parallel to the axis around which the seat 3 swings relative to the main frame 1. The first elastic element 63 applies an elastic force to the locking pin 62, forcing the locking pin 62 to extend to be inserted into the locking hole 30. The first releasing member 61 is operatively connected to the locking pin 62, and the moving direction of the first releasing member 61 is perpendicular to the extension and retraction direction of the locking pin 62. Referring to FIG. 113, in some embodiments, the swing housing 23 has a groove structure 23071 for guiding the movement of the first releasing member 61, and the swing housing 23 also has an opening 2307a allowing the first push block 613 of the first releasing member 61 to extend outwards.
[0557] Referring to FIG. Ill to FIG. 114, in some embodiments, the locking pin 62 fits over the mounting column 64. When the locking pin 62 at the locking position is pushed by the first releasing member 61, the locking pin 62 moves axially while rotating around the mounting column 64, so that the locking pin 62 retracts from the locking hole 30. For example, a second connecting hole 6401 is formed in the outer peripheral wall of the mounting column 64, and the second connecting hole 6401 has a second sloping wall 64011. A second cylinder 6202 is arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the locking pin 62, and the second cylinder 6202 is configured to extend into the second connecting hole 6401, so that the locking pin 62 is kept to be connected to the mounting column 64. In some embodiments, the locking pin 62, for example, has an elastic arm 6222, and the second cylinder 6202 is arranged on the elastic arm 6222.
[0558] The first releasing member 61 has an unlocking position and a locking position, and the movement, between the unlocking position and the locking position, of the first releasing member 61 controls the extension and retraction of the locking pin 62 relative to the mounting column 64. When the first releasing member 61 is at the locking position shown in FIG. 117, the locking pin 62 is inserted into the locking hole 30, and the seat 3 cannot swing backwards and forwards. When the first releasing member 61 moves from the locking position to the unlocking position along the direction indicated by an arrow in FIG. 117, the first releasing member 61 drives the locking pin 62 to rotate relative to the mounting column 64, and at the same time, the second sloping wall 64011 abuts against the second cylinder 6202, and the second cylinder 6202 is pushed by the second sloping wall 64011 to drive the locking pin 62 to move axially and to retract from the locking hole 30, and the seat 3 can swing backwards and forwards relative to the main frame 1. In some embodiments, the position of the second connecting hole 6401 on the mounting column 64 and the position of the second cylinder 6202 on the locking pin 62 may be interchanged.
[0559] Referring to FIG. 113, in some embodiments, one end of the second sloping wall 64011 has a second limiting portion 64012, and the second limiting portion 64012 is configured to engage with the second cylinder 6202, so that the first releasing member 61 remains at the unlocking position, thereby keeping the locking pin 62 in a state of having retracted from the locking hole 30. The first elastic element 63 may be a spring clamped between the mounting column 64 and the locking pin 62. It may be understood that when the first releasing member 61 moves from the unlocking position to the locking position along the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 115, once the second cylinder 6202 is detached from the second limiting portion 64012, the locking pin 62, driven by the first elastic element 63, automatically extends to be inserted into the locking hole 30. When the locking pin 62 is inserted into the locking hole 30, the swing housing 2 and the seat 3 cannot rotate relative to each other, so that the seat 3 cannot swing relati ve to the main frame 1, and that the swing of the seat 3 is locked.
[0560] Referring FIG. Ill and FIG. 112, in some embodiments, the first releasing member 61 is connected to the locking pin 62 through a crank slider mechanism 605. The crank slider mechanism 605 includes a cylinder 6051 and an elongated groove 6052, which slidably engage. The cylinder 6051, for example, is arranged on a lug 625 of the locking pin 62, and the elongated groove 6052, for example, is arranged on an extended plate 615 of the first releasing member 61. The crank slider mechanism 605 converts a translational movement of the first releasing member 61 into a rotation of the locking pin 62. In some embodiments, the position of the cylinder 6051 on the locking pin 62 and the position of the elongated groove 6052 on the first releasing member 61 may be interchanged.
[0561] Referring to FIG. Ill, FIG. 113 and FIG. 116, a seventh positioning mechanism 635 is arranged between the swing housing 23 and the first releasing member 61, and the seventh positioning mechanism 635 is configured to keep the first releasing member 61 at the unlocking position or the locking position. In some embodiments, the seventh positioning mechanism 635 includes two rib plates 6351 and 6353 arranged on the first releasing member 61, and two clamping places 6352 and 6354 arranged on the swing housing 23. The two rib plates 6351 and 6353 extends from the extended plate 615 and are arranged at intervals in the moving direction of the first releasing member 61. Referring to FIG. 116, when the first releasing member 61 moves to the unlocking position, the rib plate 6351 crosses the clamping place 6352 and engages with the clamping place 6352, thereby keeping the first releasing member 61 at the unlocking position. Similarly, when the first releasing member 61 moves to the locking position, the rib plate 6353 crosses the clamping place 6354 and engages with the clamping place 6354, thereby keeping the first releasing member 61 at the locking position. The embodiments of the seventh positioning mechanism 635 are not limited to the above examples.
