These disclosed " U " shape structures can be embodied in arbitrary vibrator bar but not only in "T"-shaped structure.

At last, has the embodiment that several have those that incorporate this paper in the disclosure with in the mode of reference into child seat of mentioned security consideration in open here.The inner housing of taking the lead to rest the head on, can be modular construction at these safety gears of openly mentioning and body skin/Safety hood, this modular construction can be used at several and can receive in the child seat of this module, thereby makes design more general.

The embodiment of disclosed child seat can be the part of whole child seat or can be built into the module that is used in the child seat base portion that this child seat base portion makes up for this purpose.This base portion has connecting portion and also has connecting portion at the place, back of body skin or cover in some cases at the place, bottom of body skin or cover.

The embodiment that illustrates has headrest, and this headrest can slide on one group of flange up and down, and this group flange also keeps headrest under the situation of head-on crash.Some embodiment can have safety strap, this safety strap be attached to or screw thread pass the bottom of headrest so that the motion of headrest also can drive the drift bolt of safety strap and therefore based on the height of regulating safety strap of headrest highly automatedly.In addition, some embodiment can use screw rod and nut with the rotation by screw rod headrest to be moved up and down on headrest and inner housing.This rotation can utilize at the handle (it can be withdrawn) at the place, top of screw rod and realize.In some this embodiment, screw rod utilizes sleeve pipe or other to stop screw rod to be attached to headrest slidably with respect to the device of the axial motion of headrest.Screw rod also has one or more nut that is attached to inner housing, and these one or more nuts make screw rod move up and down that (Fig. 3-7 shows the hole that is used for fastening these nuts when screw rod rotates.This nut is seated in the groove of the headrest shown in Fig. 3-5).As shown in the figure, thisly move through the slip of flange in recess and guide headrest to move up and down.Alternative mechanism is a band recess support, and this support replaces screw rod with the trough of belt anchor clamps, and these trough of belt anchor clamps engage and can utilize near the grasping mechanism the headrest top to discharge with recess.Anchor clamps can be spring-loaded and can have pivotal arm on the either side of band recess bar, so that two arms are caught bar on either side when spring discharges.The pivot part of anchor clamps is attached to headrest in certain embodiments and is with the recess bar to be attached to inner housing in these embodiments.A handle of anchor clamps is attached to headrest, and another handle is switched to headrest and have the arm that is basically parallel to band recess bar, and the bottom of this arm is switched to position on a clamp (perhaps being away from the optional position of pivot with the leverage that is provided for mobile anchor clamps mouth).Second clamp can use any technology in the abundant background technology of this device to activate by first clamp.

Especially when head-on crash under the situation of safety strap by headrest supporting, since the inertial load effect of body on safety strap and in turn act on utilize flange with belt installation to the installing of inner housing, so flange Seeking Truth metal or other crash-resistant materials possibly.

In certain embodiments, headrest can be designed to deflection in a controlled manner when side collision, and can have a plurality of ribs thus, and these a plurality of ribs are designed to have the cross-sectional plane of control deflection.This cross-sectional plane can be along the length variations of rib, and the spacing of rib can change to optimize deflection with regard to reducing head and cervical injuries.

The shape of some headrests can be to make the surface tilt and angled at sidepiece, so that head relies on the occipital bone cartilage and make this angle can be at big surf zone upper support head along other joints of vertebra with respect to the proper motion of upper body.This design helps children's sleep and also helps to support head with the antagonistic force that disperses during side collision.

The shape of headrest and the motion of headrest can be adjusted upward till the surface is near head headrest.

Another characteristic of this headrest is that it is configured as and avoids hiding eyes and make children's visiblity maximization.

The embodiment of child seat has the supporting structure between inner housing and body skin/Safety hood.This supporting structure is included in the vibrator bar at seat bottom place, and this vibrator bar can extend to the top of inner housing and can even have side arm.Other bearing set can be attached to the extreme end (perhaps directly being attached on the inner housing in this position) of side arm and be attached to body skin/Safety hood under the situation of the extension that does not have vibrator bar.This attached can along continuous straight runs or along vertically and horizontal direction slide, be used for needs and compress the motion of this attachment members, promptly be used for the controlled resistance of the cross motion of inner housing but have.Can have other attaching parts, this attaching parts can be twisted at the difference place on the zone between inner housing and the body skin or compress.

Can also have the back, center and elasticity suspender belt annex that be attached to body skin at inner housing.The parts of this elasticity suspender belt annex have been shown among Fig. 3-2.This embodiment has the elasticity groove, and this elasticity groove allows resilient pin skidding off during the lateral impact but catch pin during head-on crash.The rotating disk resistance mechanism allows to apply the different resistances that are used for head-on crash control.

Some embodiment of---wherein double hull is attached to the before disclosed housing---child seat that has body skin/Safety hood and inner housing or double hull use the anti-penetration inner housing such as fiber B and allow distortion under the effect of high antagonistic force or the body skin/Safety hood that penetrates, and stab the deceleration space that minimizes and be provided for to be squeezed into the object between housing and the body skin/Safety hood thereby make.

Has very big value under the various impact conditions that the embodiment of the child seat of use double hull (as internal layer among Fig. 5-1 and skin) mentions in existing disclosing of the present invention.Under side collision, have and inner housing is relocated and rotate to reduce the peak value impact force and also to make children directed again and away from the benefit of collision.Under the situation of head-on crash, have to make children are fastened the relative motion that inner housing is therein fully swung forward, this motion also can make head than static child seat further forward.Therefore, when design as the drag devices in the elasticity suspender belt of mentioning in existing open of the present invention, though main design standard is that the peak accelerator of head is minimized, this optimization need be carried out remaining in the limit for the forward direction with head is offset.Therefore, under this background, it can be restricted the optimization that retrains to be set with what be used for the forward direction departure distance.

Notice,, therefore can reduce average acceleration and also can reduce peak accelerator by careful design owing to increased the time that is used for the head deceleration and increased the correlation space that is used to slow down.Therefore, any minimizing of the peak accelerator of head can both be associated with the additional distance that is used for head forward direction out-of-position minimum.The head bias of this Minimum Increment increases apart from the increase that will reduce along with the increment of peak accelerator.Peak accelerator reduce with the reducing of smallest offset distance between the true corresponding springing that is used for this deceleration that depends on.This device can have different thickness.Along with the increase of thickness, this device reduces departure distance, and this is because inner housing need move forward to hold this device.Therefore, in design, preferably has thin device to be used in the skew space maximization of head.But the performance of this device has determined that whether making the reduction degree of peak accelerator is maximized for given available offsets distance.Therefore, between the thickness that installs and its performance that reduces peak accelerator, there is balance.Install reduction thin more and peak accelerator high more (that is, making acceleration/accel as much as possible near constant), the performance that is used for arbitrary given skew space is just excellent more.Therefore, method of designing starts from given potential skew space and finds the best-of-breed technology of each thickness that is used for springing, so that the peak accelerator in available residual migration space minimizes.Thickness/the technology of selected springing, the thickness/technology of this springing make the minimizing maximization of the peak accelerator in remaining available offsets space.

Some springings are designed for a plurality of parameters, the different impact pulse of locating such as passenger's weight and height, at the seat position latching that child seat is installed (depending on the twist and warping zone) etc., therefore springing will have the variable performance of each combination that is used for these key elements of working in potential departure distance, and some distances in this potential departure distance are used by this device.The method of optimizing the space is to find the technology of each thickness that is used for springing, wherein springing can be in remaining skew space with preferred combination (because each value of parameter all has minimum value, for this minimum value, other combinations of parameter may not be optimum) reduce peak accelerator.At last, selected thickness/technical combinations, this thickness/technical combinations provides the most preferred combination that reduces peak accelerator.

Bevelled head-on crash or side collision have the unique challenges to the safety of the children in the seat.Moment of torsion is applied to the installation site of child seat because of this collision.This moment of torsion will attempt to rotate the body skin of child seat.The structure that has inner housing and body skin and have a child seat of the controlled deflecting element between this inner housing and body skin shown in Fig. 1 will be controlled the rotation of inner housing and reduce head and the peak value angular acceleration of other important body parts, thereby reduce injury.If exist to invade, invading contacting of vehicle or object and body skin will be penetrated or begin to make the inner housing acceleration to be away from this intrusion during deflection at body skin.This and single housing configuration form contrast, and in the single housing configuration, housing contacts and penetrates with children and stabs causing, and owing to there is not accelerating space to contact with single housing to be used to that children are not moved to, therefore slowing down can cause damaging.

The present invention has headrest, and this headrest can move to hold children's growth in certain embodiments up and down.Headrest can also have the annex that is used for the mobile safety strap of headrest.In addition, headrest can also have the shoulder protection department that can move and be attached to headrest with headrest.This shoulder protection department can be supported by other parts of CRS.Under the situation of the CRS with body skin and dynamic inner housing, this support can utilize inner housing to benefit from the dynamic of inner housing.

In any of these embodiment, the present invention also has air cushion, and this air cushion is filled with gas or other fluids and is filled with aerated materials whole or in part.These air cushions have outlet in certain embodiments, and the air-sprung main body is discharged in these outlets inconsistently, make air cushion discharged at last at the edge in children head the place ahead so that head by air-cushion protection, and air-sprung central portion and bottom are at first discharged.The aerated materials that can be used for blanketing gas can change the air-sprung compression property.Fluid mechanics has determined this device can be subjected to the influence of the outlet that is positioned at the air-sprung lower end as shown in the figure.Some embodiment can have shape air cushion as shown in the figure, and near the narrow cross-sectional plane bottom or outlet also can use the speed of discharging with control and can not introduce too much disorder with Venturi tube.Certainly the outlet sizing can be discharged with control.

Can have the supply air bag in other embodiments, this supply air bag the ground exhaust of the effect lower part of impact load and therefore with gas transmission to air cushion.This device can have the supply air bag that is attached to the shoulder bearing set and in when contact:

-when shoulder contacted with the supply air bag, gas was forced through gas passage and arrives the air cushion that is arranged on the headrest.These pipelines can be oriented and just in time be suitable for mode transport gas timely and with the correct position of gas transmission to the air cushion.Embodiment shows the gas passage that gas guided to the air cushion head, so that the expansion of air cushion head at first is affected.Afterwards, head contacts with air-sprung and makes air cushion through the outlet exhaust.

Notice on air cushion, can have second outlet and discharge with the control air-sprung.

This air bag and air cushion (and if gas passage that use) can be built into has the two layers of walls material, accompany aerated materials in the middle of this two layers of walls material, and the whole part place that is combined between air bag and air cushion utilizes and can optionally compress by heated mould.Thereby generate required air bag and air-sprung shape.Other method will be cut away to be compressed into the aerated materials of mold shape coupling and with the two layers of walls material and be contacted with each other and porous material part is clipped in the middle.Can handle to be used for required adhesion or welding, to generate necessary sealing wall material and aerated materials.

Egress hole in the air cushion can manufacture has the sheet wing (flap), and this sheet wing can move above the aperture to change and discharge characteristic, thereby is aligned in the rate of discharge under the different impact conditions.For example in side collision, for the automobile with softer side structure, optimum discharge may be different from the automobile with hard side structure.Therefore, the air-sprung system can be generated as by the moving sheet wing above outlet and be calibrated to suitable position on-the-spotly, so that optimally protect the passenger in the car.

Another aspect of the present invention is to use tape drum (bracelet) to strain car belt with respect to CRS.Tape drum be attached to slidably in certain embodiments CRS base portion side member and have cable annex for stretching device, to be used for the CRS locking devicen.Tape drum has a circle biobelt section that starts from the seat belt buckle end and pass groove.Then, zone circle and pin joint, this pin can be withdrawn when needed to discharge zone circle.Pin is in position locked usually during operation.Slide in the short groove of pin on the body of tape drum, and the position of groove and direction be make when pin in head-on crash under the slack-free effect at mounting strap generation slide in the tape drum time, pin also laterally moves to the rough surface of tape drum, this rough surface prevent with skid.Thereby because of the minimum motion of the band of safety strap keeps CRS in position.

Another aspect of the present invention is a kind of be used to the measure equipment of the collision situation on the CRS and any other test with regard to this equipment, in these tests, the F/s that needs variable clamp load and compression has higher loading force and subsequently compression stage has lower power.Notice, under the situation of series connected spring-damper or honeycombed material, at first compression be have minimum resistivity part, therefore in the time need compressing the part of high-resistance, at first need as particular device disclosed herein.Here, the compression section that supporting arm protection is lower is till pin discharges supporting arm and softer subsequently material and is compressed.Device in the equipment can be series connected for a plurality of parts of more and more softer spring-damper or honeycombed material, wherein this spring-damper or honeycombed material have double-type pin and the supporting arm on adjacent double-type plate, and this double-type pin and supporting arm discharge these parts to be used for compression.

To shown in the 7-8, the present invention has the mechanism that headrest is attached to (it can comprise the support that is used for safety strap and can comprise shoulder side support portion) housing as Fig. 7-1, the passenger among this housing supporting CRS.This mechanism has a lot of embodiment.An embodiment shown in the figure has one or more pin, and this one or more pin can be inserted in the groove of differing heights position of headrest, thus at these lockout mechanisms of highly locating to be provided for resting the head on to hold the children of differing heights.
