Abstract

A top rod adjusting mechanism is disposed between a base and a top rod of a child safety seat. The top rod adjusting mechanism includes a transverse frame, a threaded rod and a nut. The transverse frame is movably disposed on the base and installed on the top rod. The threaded rod rotatably passes through one of the transverse frame and the base in axial limitation. The nut is installed on the other of the transverse frame and the base and threadedly sleeved on the threaded rod. When the threaded rod and the nut rotate relative to each other to generate relative sliding movement, the transverse frame drives the top rod to move relative to the base. The top rod adjusting mechanism has advantages of simple structure and easy operation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A top rod adjusting mechanism disposed between a base and a top rod of a child safety seat, the top rod adjusting mechanism comprising:
a transverse frame movably disposed on the base and installed on the top rod;
a threaded rod rotatably passing through one of the transverse frame and the base in axial limitation; and
a nut installed on the other of the transverse frame and the base and threadedly sleeved on the threaded rod, the transverse frame driving the top rod to move relative to the base when the threaded rod and the nut rotate relative to each other to generate relative sliding movement.

2. The top rod adjusting mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the transverse frame is a hollow tube or a solid rod.

3. The top rod adjusting mechanism of claim 1 , further comprising a rotary operating component installed on the threaded rod, and the nut being not stopped by the rotary operating component when the threaded rod and the nut rotate relative to each other to generate the relative sliding movement.

4. The top rod adjusting mechanism of claim 3 , wherein the rotary operating component is a rotary button.

5. The top rod adjusting mechanism of claim 3 , wherein the transverse frame is disposed on the base in a left and right direction, the threaded rod is inclined relative to the base in a front and back direction, and the rotary operating component is disposed in back of the transverse frame.

6. The top rod adjusting mechanism of claim 5 , wherein the threaded rod comprises a threaded section, an axial stopping structure and a penetrating section arranged along an axial direction of the threaded rod, the penetrating section penetrates through the base and is connected to the rotary operating component, the nut is fixed on the transverse frame and sleeved on the threaded section, and the axial stopping structure is disposed in the base and stops the threaded rod from moving relative to the base.

7. The top rod adjusting mechanism of claim 6 , wherein an end of the transverse frame is fixedly connected to the top rod, and another end of the transverse frame is fixedly connected to the nut.

8. The top rod adjusting mechanism of claim 7 , wherein the transverse frame is divided into a left transverse frame portion and a right transverse frame portion by the nut.

9. The top rod adjusting mechanism of claim 8 , wherein the left transverse frame portion and the right transverse frame portion are aligned with each other.

10. The top rod adjusting mechanism of claim 5 , wherein the threaded rod comprises a threaded section, an axial stopping structure and a penetrating section arranged along an axial direction of the threaded rod, the penetrating section penetrates through the transverse frame and is connected to the rotary operating component, the axial stopping structure and the rotary operating component cooperatively stop the threaded rod from moving relative to the transverse frame along the axial direction of the threaded rod, and the nut is fixed on the base and sleeved on the threaded section.

11. The top rod adjusting mechanism of claim 10 , further comprising a washer sleeved on the penetrating section and abutting against the axial stopping structure, and the washer and the rotary operating component cooperatively stopping the threaded rod from moving relative to the transverse frame.

12. The top rod adjusting mechanism of claim 10 , wherein a radial dimension of the threaded section is greater than a radial dimension of the penetrating section so as to form the axial stopping structure by an end of the threaded section adjacent to the penetrating section.

13. The top rod adjusting mechanism of claim 10 , wherein the threaded rod further comprises a middle section disposed between the threaded section and the penetrating section, and a radial dimension of the middle section is greater than a radial dimension of the penetrating section so as to form the axial stopping structure by an end of the middle section adjacent to the penetrating section.

14. A child safety seat comprising:
a base;
a top rod;
a seat body installed on the base; and
a top rod adjusting mechanism disposed between the base and the top rod, the top rod adjusting mechanism comprising:
a transverse frame movably disposed on the base and installed on the top rod;
a threaded rod rotatably passing through one of the transverse frame and the base in axial limitation; and
a nut installed on the other of the transverse frame and the base and threadedly sleeved on the threaded rod, the transverse frame driving the top rod to move relative to the base when the threaded rod and the nut rotate relative to each other to generate relative sliding movement.

15. The child safety seat of claim 14 , wherein the seat body is detachably installed on the base.

16. The child safety seat of claim 15 , wherein a guiding slot is formed on the base for allowing the transverse frame to pass through and slide forward and backward.

17. The child safety seat of claim 16 , wherein a guiding direction of the guiding slot is inclined along a front and back direction of the base.
