Abstract

A snapping structure is provided, which is configured to detachably mount a body to a support frame. The snapping structure includes a locking member movably disposed on the body and a positioning member disposed on the support frame and mated with the locking member. The locking member is movable to be locked to the positioning member, so as to mount the body to the support frame, or the locking member is movable to be unlocked from the positioning member, so as to separate the body from the support frame.

Claims (56)

1. A snapping structure adapted to detachably mount a body to a support frame, the snapping structure comprising:

a locking member movably disposed on the body; and

a positioning member disposed on the support frame and mated with the locking member,

wherein

the locking member is configured to move to be locked to the positioning member, so as to mount the body to the support frame, or the locking member is configured to move to be unlocked from the positioning member, so as to separate the body from the support frame,

the body is provided with a driving assembly configured to drive the locking member,

the driving assembly includes:

a driving member mated with the locking member, the driving member being configured to drive the locking member to be locked to the positioning member or drive the locking member to be disengaged from the positioning member, and

an operating member rotatably connected to an end of the driving member away from the locking member, wherein the operating member rotates to drive the driving member to slide in a vertical direction, so as to drive the locking portion to move telescopically in a horizontal direction.

2. The snapping structure according to claim 1 , wherein the locking member is telescopic relative to the positioning member to be locked to or unlocked from the positioning member.

3. The snapping structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the locking member comprises a protruding locking portion,

the positioning member is provided with a positioning portion,

the locking portion is configured to stretch to be mated with the positioning portion, so as to mount the body to the support frame, and

the locking portion is configured to retract to be separated from the positioning portion, so as to separate the body from the support frame.

4. The snapping structure according to claim 3 , wherein

a plurality of different positioning portions are disposed on the positioning member, and

the locking portion is selectively locked to the different positioning portions to adjust a position of the body relative to the support frame.

5. The snapping structure according to claim 1 , wherein

one end of the operating member is rotatably connected to a housing fixed to the body, and the operating member is configured to rotate relative to the body to cause the driving member to drive the locking member to move telescopically.

6. The snapping structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the driving member is provided with a driving portion,

the locking member is provided with a transmission portion mated with the driving portion, and

the driving member is configured to drive the transmission portion to move to lock the locking member to the positioning member or disengage the locking member from the positioning member.

7. The snapping structure according to claim 6 , wherein

the driving portion is a driving chute, and

the transmission portion protrudes from the locking member and is slidably located in the driving chute.

8. The snapping structure according to claim 6 , wherein

an end of the driving member is provided with a notch configured to accommodate the locking portion, and

the locking portion protrudes from the notch to be mated with a positioning portion of the positioning member.

9. The snapping structure according to claim 8 , wherein

one side or two sides of the notch is provided with a driving plate extending in a first direction,

the driving portion is disposed on the driving plate, and

the driving member is configured to move to drive the transmission portion to slide in the driving portion to cause the locking member to move telescopically at the notch.

10. The snapping structure according to claim 1 , wherein a part of the operating member protrudes from the body, and the part of the operating member that protrudes from the body is operated, such that the driving member drives the locking member to move telescopically.

11. The snapping structure according to claim 10 , wherein the operating member is slidably disposed on the body, and the operating member is operated to slide along the body and drive the driving member to move.

12. The snapping structure according to claim 1 , wherein the operating member is provided with a reset member enabling the operating member to have a reset tendency.

13. The snapping structure according to claim 12 , wherein the reset member is a spring.

14. The snapping structure according to claim 3 , wherein an end surface of the locking portion that is mated with the positioning portion is inclined by a preset angle.

15. The snapping structure according to claim 1 , wherein the body is a sleep box or a baby seat.

16. The snapping structure according to claim 1 , wherein the support frame is a baby carriage frame, an automobile safety seat frame, or a baby crib frame.

17. A baby carrier, comprising the body, the support frame, and the snapping structure according to claim 1 .

18. A body configured to be detachably mounted to a support frame, the body comprising:

a snapping structure configured to detachably mount the body to the support frame, the snapping structure comprising:

a locking member movably disposed on the body; and

a positioning member on the support frame and mated with the locking member, wherein the locking member is moveable to be locked to the positioning member to mount the body to the support frame, or to be unlocked from the positioning member to separate the body from the support frame; and

a driving assembly configured to drive the locking member, the driving assembly comprising

a driving member mated with the locking member, the driving member configured to drive the locking member to be locked to the positioning member or to be disengaged from the positioning member, and

an operating member rotatably connected to an end of the driving member away from the locking member,

wherein the operating member rotates to drive the driving member to slide in a vertical direction, so as to drive the locking portion to move telescopically in a horizontal direction.

19. The body according to claim 18 , wherein the locking member is telescopic relative to the positioning member to be locked to or unlocked from the positioning member.

20. The body according to claim 19 , wherein

the locking member comprises a protruding locking portion,

the positioning member is provided with a positioning portion,

the locking portion is configured to stretch to be mated with the positioning portion, so as to mount the body to the support frame, and

the locking portion is configured to retract to be separated from the positioning portion, so as to separate the body from the support frame.
