Abstract

A child safety seat and a seat base for the child safety seat are provided. The seat base includes a buckling mechanism, an indication mechanism, and a linkage mechanism. The buckling mechanism is configured to buckle into a seat body. The indication mechanism includes an indication area, which is configured to indicate a buckling state of the seat base and the seat body. The linkage mechanism is disposed between the buckling mechanism and the indication mechanism. When the buckling mechanism is buckled into the seat body, the linkage mechanism drives the indication area to present a first indication state; and when the buckling mechanism is unbuckled from the seat body, the linkage mechanism drives the indication area to present a second indication state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A seat base of a child safety seat, comprising:
a buckling mechanism configured to buckle into a seat body; an indication mechanism comprising an indication area, wherein the indication area is configured to indicate a buckling state of the seat base and the seat body; a mounting base; and a linkage mechanism disposed between the buckling mechanism and the indication mechanism, the linkage mechanism comprising:
a rotation element rotatably connected inside the mounting base;
a linkage element connected to the rotation element and the indication area; and
a push button movably disposed on the mounting base, the push button abuts against the buckling mechanism and the rotation element, respectively, and the buckling mechanism is capable of driving the push button to slide, so that the push button pushes the rotation element to rotate;
wherein when the buckling mechanism is buckled into the seat body, the rotation element rotates to drive the linkage element to drive the indication area to present a first indication state; and when the buckling mechanism is unbuckled from the seat body, the rotation element rotates to drive the linkage element to drive the indication area to present a second indication state.

2 . The seat base according to claim 1 , wherein the linkage mechanism further comprises a first restoration element, the first restoration element abuts against the linkage element and the mounting base, respectively, and the first restoration element constantly enables the linkage element to move towards a direction that drives the indication area to present the second indication state.

3 . The seat base according to claim 1 , wherein the linkage mechanism further comprises a second restoration element, the second restoration element abuts against the mounting base and the push button, respectively, and the second restoration element constantly enables the push button to move towards a direction reverse to a direction along which the push button is pushed by the buckling mechanism.

4 . The seat base according to claim 1 , wherein the buckling mechanism comprises a sliding element slidably disposed on the mounting base, when the sliding element slides, the sliding element is capable of pushing the push button to move along a direction that intersects a sliding direction of the sliding element, and when the push button moves, the push button drives the rotation element to rotate to drive the linkage element to move;
wherein the sliding element is provided with a push protrusion that protrudes along a direction that intersects the sliding direction of the sliding element, and when the sliding element slides, the push protrusion pushes the push button to move.

5 . The seat base according to claim 4 , wherein the buckling mechanism further comprises a locking hook that is pivotally connected to the mounting base and has an opened position and a closed position, the locking hook is configured to be detachably fastened to the seat body, and the sliding element is capably of maintaining the locking hook in the opened position or the closed position.

6 . The seat base according to claim 5 , wherein the buckling mechanism further comprises a third restoration element, the third restoration element abuts against the sliding element and the mounting base, respectively, and the third restoration element constantly enables the sliding element to move towards a direction that maintains the locking hook in the opened position.

7 . The seat base according to claim 5 , wherein the buckling mechanism further comprises a fastening element mounted on the mounting base and a fifth restoration element connected to the fastening element, the locking hook is pivotally connected to the fastening element and abuts against the fifth restoration element, and the fifth restoration element constantly enables the locking hook to rotate towards the opened position;
wherein the buckling mechanism further comprises a stopper and a sixth restoration element, one end of the stopper is pivotally connected to the mounting base, the other end of the stopper is connected to the locking hook, the sixth restoration element abuts against the stopper and the mounting base, respectively, and the sixth restoration element constantly enables the locking hook to rotate towards the opened position.

8 . The seat base according to claim 4 , further comprising an unlocking mechanism, wherein the unlocking mechanism is disposed on the mounting base and is configured to drive the sliding element to slide;
wherein the unlocking mechanism comprises a drive element and a first mandrel that slidably cooperate with each other, the drive element is slidably mounted on the mounting base, the first mandrel is movably disposed and abuts against the sliding element, and when the drive element moves under a force, the drive element is capable of driving the first mandrel to move along a direction that intersects a sliding direction of the drive element, so that the first mandrel pushes the sliding element to drive the sliding element to slide; wherein the drive element is provided with a drive chute that intersects the sliding direction of the drive element, a first guide rod is disposed on the first mandrel, the first guide rod is inserted inside the drive chute and moves along the drive chute, and when the drive element slides, the drive chute acts on the first guide rod to drive the first mandrel to move.

9 . The seat base according to claim 8 , wherein the unlocking mechanism further comprises a second mandrel movably disposed between the first mandrel and the sliding element, and when the first mandrel moves, the first mandrel pushes the second mandrel to move co-directionally, so that the second mandrel drives the sliding element to slide;
wherein a driving slope is provided at an end portion of the second mandrel, the sliding element is provided with a driven slope that cooperates with the driving slope, and the driving slope acts on the driven slope to drive the sliding element to slide.

10 . The seat base according to claim 8 , wherein the unlocking mechanism further comprises a handle movably mounted on the mounting base, the handle is connected to the drive element and drives the drive element to move;
wherein the unlocking mechanism further comprises a pulling element connected between the handle and the drive element; wherein the handle is disposed at an end of the mounting base adjacent to the indication mechanism.

11 . The seat base according to claim 8 , wherein the unlocking mechanism further comprises a fourth restoration element, the fourth restoration element abuts against the drive element and the mounting base, respectively, and the fourth restoration element is configured to drive the drive element to restore.

12 . A child safety seat, comprising the seat base according to claim 1 , and a seat body detachably fastened on the seat base.

13 . The child safety seat according to claim 12 , wherein the seat base is provided with a buckling groove, the buckling mechanism partially protrudes into the buckling groove, and the seat body is provided with a buckling rod at the bottom thereof configured to buckle into the buckling mechanism.

14 . A seat base of a child safety seat, comprising:
a mounting base; a buckling mechanism configured to buckle into a seat body, the buckling mechanism comprising a sliding element slidably disposed on the mounting base; an indication mechanism comprising an indication area, wherein the indication area is configured to indicate a buckling state of the seat base and the seat body; and a
