Abstract

A child accommodating apparatus is provided and includes a frame and an armrest tube. The armrest tube is rotatably connected with the frame. The armrest rotating mechanism is for rotating the armrest tube. The armrest rotating mechanism includes an engagement device and an operation device. The engagement device is disposed between the armrest tube and the frame and for positioning the armrest tube relative to the frame. The operation device is disposed on the armrest tube and connected with the engagement device. The operation device includes a housing coaxially and rotatably sleeved on the armrest tube and rotatable relative to the armrest tube. When the housing of the operation device is operated to rotate relative to the armrest tube, a rotating movement of the housing of the operation device drives the engagement device to disengage the armrest tube from the frame.

Claims (55)

1. A child accommodating apparatus comprising:

a frame;

an armrest tube rotatably connected with the frame; and

an armrest rotating mechanism for rotating the armrest tube, the armrest rotating mechanism comprising:

an engagement device disposed between the armrest tube and the frame and for positioning the armrest tube relative to the frame; and

an operation device disposed on the armrest tube and connected with the engagement device, the operation device comprising:

a housing coaxially and rotatably sleeved on the armrest tube and rotatable relative to the armrest tube;

wherein when the housing of the operation device is operated to rotate relative to the armrest tube, a rotating movement of the housing of the operation device drives the engagement device to disengage the armrest tube from the frame.

2. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the operation device further comprises:

a driving groove disposed on the housing; and

an inserting pin engaged with the driving groove and coupled to the engagement device;

when the housing of the operation device is operated to rotate relative to the armrest tube, the rotating movement of the housing of the operation device drives the inserting pin by the driving groove to drive the engagement device to disengage the armrest tube from the frame.

3. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the engagement device comprises:

a fixing holder fixed on the frame, a positioning groove being formed on the fixing holder, and the armrest tube being pivoted to the fixing holder;

an engaging pin engaged with the positioning groove; and

a transmission member connected to the engaging pin and the inserting pin of the operation device;

wherein the housing of the operation device is operated to rotate relative to the armrest tube to drive the inserting pin to drive the transmission member to disengage the engaging pin from the positioning groove.

4. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the engagement device further comprises:

a sliding member fixed on the engaging pin, the transmission member being connected to the sliding member and the inserting pin of the operation device; and

a resilient member disposed between the armrest tube and the sliding member.

5. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the positioning groove comprises:

a groove portion; and

a plurality of restraining portions positioned at two terminal ends of the groove portion, the engaging pin being configured to move in the groove portion and to be restrained at one of the plurality of restraining portions.

6. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the engagement device further comprises:

a restoring member installed on the fixing holder, an end of the restoring member abutting against the fixing holder, and another end of the restoring member abutting against the armrest tube.

7. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 2 , wherein an end of the inserting pin abuts against the driving groove.

8. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 2 , wherein an extension direction of the driving groove is inclined relative to a horizontal direction, and an extension direction of the inserting pin is substantially perpendicular to a plane whereon the driving groove is located.

9. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the operation device further comprises:

a button body left and right movably accommodated in the housing and partially exposed outside the housing;

a locking pin connected with the button body; and

a positioning hole positioned on a side of the housing, the locking pin being configured to protrude out of the housing so as to engage with the positioning hole.

10. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising a leaf spring installed inside the button body.

11. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the engagement device comprises:

a fixing holder fixed on the frame, a positioning groove being formed on the fixing holder, and the armrest tube being pivoted to the fixing holder;

an engaging pin engaged with the positioning groove; and

a transmission member connected to the engaging pin and the operation device;

wherein the operation device is operated to drive the transmission member to disengage the engaging pin from the positioning groove.

12. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the engagement device further comprises:

a sliding member fixed on the engaging pin, the transmission member being connected to the sliding member and the operation device; and

a resilient member disposed between the armrest tube and the sliding member.

13. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the positioning groove comprises:

a groove portion; and

a plurality of restraining portions positioned at two terminal ends of the groove portion, the engaging pin being configured to move in the groove portion and to be restrained at one of the plurality of restraining portions.

14. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the engagement device further comprises:

a restoring member installed on the fixing holder, an end of the restoring member abutting against the fixing holder, and another end of the restoring member abutting against the armrest tube.

15. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the operation device further comprises:

a button body left and right movably accommodated in the housing and partially exposed outside the housing;

a locking pin connected with the button body; and

a positioning hole positioned on a side of the housing, the locking pin being configured to protrude out of the housing so as to engage with the positioning hole.

16. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 15 , further comprising a leaf spring installed inside the button body.

17. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the operation device further comprises:

a button body left and right movably accommodated in the housing and partially exposed outside the housing;

a locking pin connected with the button body; and

a positioning hole positioned on a side of the housing, the locking pin being configured to protrude out of the housing so as to engage with the positioning hole.

18. The child accommodating apparatus of claim 17 , further comprising a leaf spring installed inside the button body.
