As shown in fig. 1 to 13:
In one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an ISOFIX installation guide device capable of guiding an installation process of an ISOFIX hanger 1 and an ISOFIX connecting rod 2, comprising:
A guide housing 3 provided with a first opening 31 and a second opening 32 which are at least partially mutually penetrated, the first opening 31 and the second opening 32 being respectively used for guiding the ISOFIX hook 1 and the ISOFIX connecting rod 2 to be inserted into the guide housing 3, and
The locking hook 4 is movably mounted inside the guide housing 3, and is capable of allowing the ISOFIX connecting rod 2 to be inserted into the guide housing 3 from the second opening 32 only when the ISOFIX hook 1 is inserted into the guide housing 3 from the first opening 31 to a set position.
The first opening 31 and the second opening 32 formed in the guide housing 3 are partially penetrated with each other, so that the ISOFIX hanger 1 and the ISOFIX connecting rod 2 can be connected with each other in a region penetrated between the first opening 31 and the second opening 32.
Moreover, since the cross-sectional area of the ISOFIX hanger 1 is much smaller than the cross-sectional area of the ISOFIX connecting rod 2, and the opening areas of the first opening 31 and the second opening 32 are respectively matched with the ISOFIX hanger 1 and the ISOFIX connecting rod 2, the first opening 31 and the second opening 32 preferably only need to be partially penetrated each other.
In addition, the shape of the flare formed by the smaller first opening 31 and the larger second opening 32 can facilitate the surrounding of the seat cushion and the seat cushion on the ISOFIX hook 1 by the two opposite sides of the guiding shell 3, so as to smoothly extend into the position of the ISOFIX hook 1.
And the locking hooks 4 are used to ensure that the ISOFIX connecting rod 2 is properly mounted on the ISOFIX hook 1. In particular, when the guide housing 3 is not properly connected with the ISOFIX hanger 1, the locking hooks 4 will block the second openings 32, preventing the ISOFIX connecting rod 2 from being inserted into the guide housing 3. And when the guide housing 3 is properly connected with the ISOFIX hanger 1, the locking hooks 4 will allow the ISOFIX connecting rod 2 to be inserted into the guide housing 3, thereby enabling the child safety seat to be properly installed on the seat.
Based on the function of the locking catch 4 described above, when the operator finds that the ISOFIX rod 2 cannot be inserted into the guide housing 3, the connection between the guide housing 3 and the ISOFIX hook 1 is naturally readjusted until the locking catch 4 allows the ISOFIX rod 2 to enter the second opening 32. When the first opening 31 of the ISOFIX guide device is connected with the ISOFIX hook 1, the second opening 32 can be exposed outside the gap between the cushion and the cushion of the seat, so that an operator can conveniently judge whether the ISOFIX hook 1 is correctly assembled with the guide shell 3 based on the visual inspection of the position of the locking hook 4, and insert the ISOFIX connecting rod 2 into the guide shell 3 when the ISOFIX is correctly assembled, thereby realizing the fixed installation of the child safety seat.
It can be seen that since the ISOFIX installation guide is previously secured before the child safety seat is installed, the ISOFIX connecting rod 2 is always connected with the ISOFIX hanger 1 under the guiding action of the inner cavity of the guiding housing 3, and the operation step of repeatedly carrying the child safety seat to adjust the position of the ISOFIX connecting rod 2 is avoided, thereby greatly facilitating the operator.
As shown in fig. 1 to 7, further, in order to achieve stable linkage between the ISOFIX hook 1 and the locking hook 4, in some embodiments, the locking hook 4 is hinged inside the guide housing 3 and can rotate with the ISOFIX hook 1 inserted into the first opening 31, so as to unlock the ISOFIX link 2 inserted into the second opening 32.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, in some embodiments, the locking hook 4 includes:
a first lug 41, protruding radially outwards with respect to the hinge axis of the locking hook 4, able to abut the ISOFIX hook 1 during the insertion of the ISOFIX hook 1 into the guide housing 3, so as to rotate the locking hook 4 under the pushing of the hook, and
A second lug 42, located on the side of the first lug 41 close to the second opening 32 and extending to the second opening 32, is movable with the rotation of the locking hook 4 from a blocking position blocking the movement of the ISOFIX connecting rod 2 into the second opening 32 to a passing position releasing the blocking of the ISOFIX connecting rod 2.
Wherein the first lug 41 protrudes radially outwards with respect to the hinge axis of the locking catch 4, acting as a linkage between the insertion movement of the ISOFIX catch 1 and the rotation movement of the locking catch 4, and the second lug 42 extends to the second opening 32, acting as a blocking or allowing passage for the second opening 32.
Further, in order to better achieve the blocking effect of the second lug 42 against the second opening 32, in some embodiments, the locking hook 4 further comprises:
and a blocking piece 43, located at the end of the second lug 42 and perpendicular to the protruding direction of the second lug 42, for expanding the blocking area of the second lug 42 against the second opening 32.
Further, in order to prevent the ISOFIX hook 1 from coming out after being properly connected and engaged with the ISOFIX installation guide, in some embodiments, the locking hook 4 further includes:
A hook portion 44, which is located at a side of the first lug 41 close to the first opening 31 and forms a receiving space with the first lug 41, for restricting the movement of the ISOFIX hanger 1 when the ISOFIX hanger 1 is inserted into the guide housing 3 at a set position.
Once the ISOFIX link 2 is inserted into the guide housing 3, the rotation of the second lug 42 will be limited, thereby limiting the position of the locking catch 4, so that the hook always remains limited to the ISOFIX hook 1, forming a double limitation with the limiting effect of the ISOFIX link 2 on the ISOFIX hook 1, thereby making the connection of the child safety seat more secure and reliable.
Further, to facilitate insertion of the guide housing 3 into the position of the ISOFIX hanger 1, in some embodiments, the guide housing 3 comprises:
A lower plate 34 perpendicular to the rotation plane of the locking hook 4, and
An upper base plate 33 opposite to the lower base plate 34 and having an arc surface structure;
Wherein the cambered surface structure can smoothly transition the upper bottom plate 33 from one end close to the first opening 31 to one end close to the second opening 32.
Further, to ensure that the second opening 32 is in a closed state when the guide housing 3 is not properly connected to the ISOFIX hanger 1, in some embodiments, the locking catch 4 has a tendency to move to remain in the blocking position when the guide housing 3 is in a position with the upper floor 33 up and the lower floor 34 down.
Further, to achieve a movement tendency of the locking catch 4 to remain in the blocking position, in some embodiments the centre of gravity of the locking catch 4 is located on the side of the hinge axis close to the second opening 32. At this point, under the force of gravity, the locking catch 4 will have a tendency for the second lug 42 to move towards the lower floor 34.
Further, as shown in fig. 4, to adjust the position where the second lug 42 blocks the second opening 32, in some embodiments, the guide housing 3 includes:
The first boss 35 is provided on the inner side of the upper plate 33 and is close to the first opening 31, and can limit the rotation angle of the locking hook 4 by abutting when the ISOFIX hook 1 is not inserted into the guide housing 3.
Further, as shown in fig. 9, in order to provide the locking hook 4 with a more reliable locking capability to the ISOFIX hook 1 and a more reliable blocking effect to the ISOFIX connecting rod 2, in some embodiments, the ISOFIX installation guiding device includes two locking hooks 4, and the two locking hooks 4 are hinged to two opposite inner walls of the guiding housing 3 respectively, and can synchronously prevent the ISOFIX connecting rod 2 from being inserted into the second opening 32 or synchronously release the locking of the ISOFIX connecting rod 2 inserted into the second opening 32.
Further, as shown in fig. 8, in order to improve the synchronicity of the two locking hooks 4, in some embodiments, a side of the two locking hooks 4 near the second opening 32 is connected to the same baffle 43.
Further, as shown in fig. 10, in order to adjust the installation height of the ISOFIX installation guide, in some embodiments, the ISOFIX installation guide further includes:
the wedge-shaped structure 5 is provided with a guide groove 51 on the inclined plane of the wedge-shaped structure 5;
Wherein the guide groove 51 is capable of guiding the guide housing 3 to a mounted position with the ISOFIX hanger 1.
The wedge-shaped structure 5 can be firstly placed between the backrest and the cushion of the seat, and the installation height of the ISOFIX installation guide device is increased in advance according to the position of the ISOFIX hook 1 of a specific vehicle, so that the subsequent height adjustment operation of the ISOFIX guide shell 3 is reduced.
Further, in some embodiments, the guide groove 51 is detachably connected to the underside of the guide housing 3, so that the wedge structure 5 is removed after the guide housing 3 and the ISOFIX hanger 1 are mounted in place.
As shown in fig. 11, further, in order to facilitate the connection of two of the guide housings 3 to two of the ISOFIX hooks 1 at the same time, in some embodiments, the ISOFIX installation guide device further includes:
Two of said wedge-shaped structures 5;
Two guide housings 3, and
A rigid connection member 6 fixedly connected between the pair of wedge structures 5, capable of controlling the interval between the pair of wedge structures 5, so that the pair of ISOFIX hooks 1 are simultaneously inserted into the pair of guide housings 3.
As shown in fig. 12 to 13, in some embodiments, to prevent the loss of the single guide housing 3, the ISOFIX installation guide device further includes:
Two of said wedge-shaped ramp structures;
Two guide housings 3, and
And a flexible connection member 7 connected between the pair of wedge structures 5 and capable of controlling the interval between the pair of wedge structures 5 in a straightened state, thereby allowing the pair of ISOFIX hooks 1 to be mutually installed while being inserted into the guide housing 3.
In another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a child safety seat mountable to an ISOFIX hanger 1 at a vehicle seat, comprising an ISOFIX mounting guide as described in any of the previous embodiments.
Thus, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the ISOFIX installation guide device can promote the correct insertion between the ISOFIX connecting rod 2 and the ISOFIX hanger 1, and improve the installation convenience of the child safety seat.
