Child safety seat
A child safety seat includes a base, a seat body and a notifying system. The seat body is disposed on the base and movable relative to the base between a front facing position and a rear facing position. The notifying system includes an actuated device disposed on one of the base and the seat body, an actuating component and a notifying device. The actuating component is disposed on another one of the base and the seat body and configured to actuate the actuated device when the seat body reaches at least one of the front facing position and the rear facing position. The notifying device is electrically connected to the actuated device and configured to generate a notifying signal when the actuated device is actuated by the actuating component, so as to indicate information to facilitate a caregiver to determine whether the child safety seat is installed properly.
1. A child safety seat comprising:
a base;
a seat body pivoted to the base around a pivoting axis and movable relative to the base between a front facing position and a rear facing position; and
a notifying system comprising:
an actuated device disposed on one of the base and the seat body;
an actuating component disposed on another one of the base and the seat body and configured to actuate the actuated device when the seat body pivots relative to the base around the pivoting axis to reach at least one of the front facing position and the rear facing position, the actuated device being actuated to generate different types of actuating signals when the seat body is located at the front facing position and the rear facing position; and
a notifying device electrically connected to the actuated device and configured to generate different types of notifying signals when the actuated device is actuated by the actuating component to generate the different types actuating signals.
2. The child safety seat of claim 1 , wherein a pivoting disc is disposed on one of the base and the seat body, and the pivoting axis passes through a center of the pivoting disc.
3. The child safety seat of claim 2 , wherein a pivoting recess is formed on another one of the base and the seat body, and the pivoting disc is pivotally disposed inside the pivoting recess.
4. The child safety seat of claim 2 , wherein the actuating component is disposed on at least one of a front side and a rear side of one of the pivoting disc and the base, and the actuated device is disposed on at least one of a front side and a rear side of another one of the pivoting disc and the base.
5. The child safety seat of claim 1 , wherein the actuating component actuates the actuated device when the seat body is detachably installed on the base and reaches at least one of the front facing position and the rear facing position.
6. The child safety seat of claim 1 , wherein the notifying device comprises a signal processing component electrically connected to the actuated device, and a notifying component electrically connected to the signal processing component, the signal processing component is configured to process a corresponding one of the different types of actuating signals generated from the actuated device when the actuated device is actuated by the actuating component, and the notifying component is configured to receive the corresponding one of the different types of actuating signals processed by the signal processing component to generate a corresponding one of the different types of notifying signals.
7. The child safety seat of claim 6 , wherein any two of the actuated device, the signal processing component and the notifying component are connected in a wired connection or a wireless connection.
8. The child safety seat of claim 6 , wherein the signal processing component is disposed on one of the base and the seat body, and the notifying component is disposed on another one of the base and the seat body.
9. The child safety seat of claim 6 , wherein the signal processing component and the notifying component are disposed on one of the base and the seat body.
10. The child safety seat of claim 6 , wherein the notifying component is an audio notifying component or a video notifying component.
11. The child safety seat of claim 1 , wherein the actuated device and the notifying device are electrically connected in a series connection, and when the seat body reaches at least one of the front facing position and the rear facing position, the actuated device and the notifying device are in a closed circuit, so that the notifying device is powered on to generate a corresponding one of the different types of notifying signals.
12. The child safety seat of claim 1 , wherein the actuated device is a non-contact sensor or a mechanical switch.
13. The child safety seat of claim 1 , wherein a corresponding one of the different types of notifying signals indicates at least one of a height, a weight and an age of a child corresponding to the seat body reaching the front facing position or the rear facing position.
