any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0044] The present application provides a high chair, which has a plurality of usage modes,
can well meet the eating needs of children or adults of different ages, and has a
wider range of usage scenarios.
[0045] The high chair can be configured in a variety of ways. In an embodiment, as shown
in FIGS. 1 to 4, the high chair includes a seat frame 100, a first backrest assembly
200, and a second backrest assembly 300. The seat frame 100 includes a first support
frame 110 and a first seat plate 120 disposed on the first support frame 110.
[0046] As shown in FIG. 1, the first backrest assembly 200 includes a first backrest part
210, a barrier part 220, and a first connecting part 230 that is configured to be
connected to the seat frame 100. The first backrest part 210 is configured to be detachably
connected to the seat frame 100 through the first connecting part 230. When the first
backrest assembly 200 is connected to the seat frame 100, the high chair is in a first
usage mode, that is, a dining chair mode. This mode is suitable for a baby aged about
6 months to 3 years old to have meals, and the child can be seated in a seating space
101 enclosed by the first backrest part 210 and the barrier part 220 without slipping
off the high chair easily.
[0047] As shown in FIG. 2, a tray part 400 can be mounted on the front side of the first
backrest assembly 200 in a detachable or non-detachable manner to facilitate the placement
of tableware and food for the child.
[0048] As shown in FIG. 3, the second backrest assembly 300 includes a second backrest part

to the first seat plate 120 through the second connecting part 320. When the second
backrest assembly 300 is fixedly connected to the seat frame 100, the high chair is
in a second usage mode, that is, a junior chair mode. This mode is mainly suitable
for a child aged approximately 3 to 12 years old. The second backrest 310 is not provided
with a barrier part, which makes it easier for the child to get on and off the high
chair independently, and also facilitates the high chair to be moved to a dining table
so that the child can eat at the same table as adults. Certainly, the high chair in
this usage mode is not limited to being used as a dining chair, but can also be used
by the child or adult in a situation such as learning or gaming.
[0049] As shown in FIG. 4, when neither the first backrest assembly 200 nor the second backrest
assembly 300 is connected to the first seat plate 120, the high chair is in a third
usage mode, that is, an adult chair mode. This mode is suitable for a child or an
adult aged approximately above 12 years old. Similarly, the high chair in this mode
is not limited to being used as a dining chair, but can also be used in various situations
such as studying or gaming.
[0050] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the barrier part 220 includes a transverse barrier
221 extending in a transverse direction of the first backrest assembly 200 and two
lateral barriers 222 extending in a longitudinal direction of the first backrest assembly.
The two lateral barriers 222 are generally in the shape of a rectangular plate, and
first sides of the two lateral barriers 222 are connected to left and right sides
of the first backrest part 210 respectively. The transverse barrier 221 has a long
strip structure. Two ends of the transverse barrier 221 are respectively connected
to second sides of the two lateral barriers 222 away from the first backrest part
210. In this way, the transverse barrier 221, the two lateral barriers 222, and the
first backrest part 210 together form a seating space 101 for a child to sit.
[0051] Further, the first connecting part 230 is disposed on at least one of the transverse
barrier 221, the lateral barriers 222, and the first backrest part 210. In this embodiment,
one first connecting part 230 (as shown in FIG. 6) is connected to a substantially
middle portion of the transverse barrier 221, and two spaced apart first connecting
parts 230 (as shown in FIG. 8) are connected to the first backrest part 210. In other
embodiments, the number and position of the first connecting parts 230 can also be
adjusted as needed. For example, one or at least two first connecting parts 230 may
be connected to the lower side of each lateral barrier 222, or may be connected to
only the lower side of the first backrest part 210, and so on, and which is not limited
thereto.
[0052] As shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the first connecting part 230 includes a first vertical
extension 231 and a first longitudinal extension 232 that are connected to each other
and arranged at an angle to each other. In this embodiment, both the first vertical
extension 231 and the first longitudinal extension 232 have a plate-shaped structure.
An end of the first vertical extension 231 away from the first longitudinal extension
232 is connected to the transverse barrier 221 or the first backrest part 210. The
seat frame 100 is provided with a first coupling groove 130 corresponding to the first
longitudinal extension 232, The first longitudinal extension 232 is configured to
be inserted into the first coupling groove 130.
[0053] Further, the first longitudinal extension 232 is further provided with a second groove
2321. A sidewall of the second groove 2321 is connected to an elastic finger 2322.
A free end of the elastic finger 2322 is provided with an elastic protrusion facing
away from the first vertical extension 231. In addition, a first hole 131 is disposed
on the sidewall of the first coupling groove 130 away from the first seat plate 120.
When the first longitudinal extension 232 is inserted into the first coupling groove
130, the elastic protrusion 2322a of the elastic finger 2322 can slide into the first
hole 131. In this way, the connection between the first longitudinal extension 232
and the first seat plate 120 can be stronger, that is, the connection between the
first backrest assembly 200 and the seat frame 100 can be stronger.
[0054] Furthermore, a connection portion between the first longitudinal extension 232 and
the first vertical extension 231 is bent to form an engaging recess 233. When the
first longitudinal extension 232 is inserted into the first coupling groove 130, the
engaging recess 233 is engaged with an edge of the first seat plate 120.
[0055] In this embodiment, the first connecting part 230 connected to the transverse barrier
221 can be made of a material with certain elastic deformation ability, such as plastic.
When first longitudinal portions 232 of two first connecting parts 230 connected to
the first backrest part 210 are inserted into the first coupling grooves 130 from
the rear side of the first seat plate 120, and the corresponding engaging recesses
233 are engaged with a rear edge of the first seat plate 120, the first connecting
part 230 connected to the transverse barrier 221 can be elastically deformed to a
certain extent and cross over the front edge of the first seat plate 120 to be inserted
into the first coupling groove 130 on the front side of the first seat plate 120,
and the corresponding engaging recess 233 is engaged with the front edge of the first
seat plate 120. In other embodiments, the first connecting parts 230 connected to
the first backrest part 210 may also be made of a material with certain elastic deformation
ability.
[0056] Further, the first connecting part 230 connected to the transverse barrier 221 can
also be used to block the crotch of the child to prevent the child from slipping off
the high chair.
[0057] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the first seat plate 120 can have a plate-like
structure made of wood or hard plastic. Amounting bracket 117 made of plastic or steel
material may be fixed to a lower surface of the first seat plate 120. The mounting
bracket 117 and the first seat plate 120 form the first coupling groove 130 into which
the first longitudinal extension 232 (details will be described later) is insertable.
In this embodiment, there are three corresponding first coupling grooves 130, two
of which are disposed on the rear side of the first seat plate 120, and the other
one is disposed on the front side of the first seat plate 120. The three first coupling
grooves 130 all extend in the longitudinal direction of the first seat plate 120.
In other embodiments, the position and number of first coupling grooves 130 can also
be adjusted as needed. For example, the first coupling groove 130 can also extend
in the transverse direction of the first seat plate 120, and the position of the first
connecting part 230 can be adjusted accordingly.
[0058] As shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the second connecting part 320 includes a second vertical
extension 321 and a second longitudinal extension 322 that are connected to each other
and arranged at an angle to each other. In this embodiment, both the second vertical
extension 321 and the second longitudinal extension 322 have a rod-shaped structure.
A diameter of a portion of the second longitudinal extension 322 away from the second
vertical extension 321 is less than diameters of other portions of the second longitudinal
extension 322, to form a first coupling end 3221 that can be inserted into a coupling
channel 150 of the seat frame 100. An end of the second vertical extension 321 away
from the second longitudinal extension 322 is fixedly connected to the second backrest
part 310.
[0059] Specifically, the second backrest part 310 has a substantially arc-shaped plate structure.
Two second connecting parts 320 are provided and are spaced apart from each other,
and two corresponding coupling channels 150 are provided. In this embodiment, the
two coupling channels 150 are formed in the mounting bracket 117, and both extend
along in a longitudinal direction of the first seat plate 120. Specifically, the above
two first coupling grooves 130 disposed on the rear side of the first seat plate 120
are positioned between the two coupling channels 150. In other embodiments, the position
and number of the coupling channels 150 can also be adjusted as needed. For example,
the two coupling channels 150 can be disposed in the transverse direction of the first
seat plate 120, and the positions of the two second connecting parts 320 can be adjusted
accordingly. Alternatively, the two first coupling grooves 130 may extend in the longitudinal
direction of the first seat plate 120, and the two coupling channels 150 may extend
in the transverse direction of the first seat plate 120.
[0060] As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the seat frame 100 is further provided with a locking
mechanism 160. The locking mechanism 160 is configured to selectively lock the second
connecting part 320 and the first seat plate 120 relative to each other. Specifically,
the locking mechanism 160 includes a locking member 161, an unlocking member 162,
and a first reset member 163. The locking member 161 is movably disposed on the seat
frame 100. The second longitudinal extension 322 is provided with a locking hole 3222.
The locking member 161 has a first locked position and a first unlocked position.
When the second longitudinal extension 322 is inserted into the coupling channel 150,
if the locking member 161 is in the first locked position, the locking member 161
can be inserted into the locking hole 3222; if the locking member 161 is in the first
unlocked position, the locking member 161 can be separated from the locking hole 3222.
The unlocking member 162 is operable to drive the locking member 161 to move to the
first unlocked position. The first reset member 163 is adapted to bias the locking
member 161 to move toward the first locked position.
[0061] Further, the second longitudinal extensions 322 of the two second connecting parts
320 connected to the second backrest part 310 are each provided with locking holes
3222. Two corresponding locking mechanisms 160 are provided to respectively engage
with the two locking holes 3222. In this embodiment, two locking holes 3222 are arranged
opposite to each other, and the two locking mechanisms 160 are positioned between
the two second longitudinal extensions 322. One of the locking mechanisms 160 is taken
as an example for description below.
[0062] As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the unlocking member 162 has a substantially rod-shaped
structure, and an operating protrusion 1621 is provided substantially in the middle
of the unlocking member 162. An elongated mounting groove 170 is formed in the mounting
bracket 117 or between the mounting bracket 117 and the first seat plate 120. The
mounting groove 170 extends generally in the transverse direction of the first seat
plate 120, that is, an extending direction of the mounting groove 170 is substantially
perpendicular to an extending direction of the coupling channel 150. The unlocking
member 162 is disposed in the mounting groove 170 and can move in the extending direction
of the mounting groove 170. An operating opening 171 is disposed on a wall of the
mounting groove 170. The operating protrusion 1621 of the unlocking member 162 extends
out of the mounting groove 170 through the operating opening 171 to be operated. The
unlocking member 162 includes a first end 1622 and a second end 1623. The locking
member 161 is pivotally connected to the first end 1622 of the unlocking member 162.
The locking member 161 has a hook part 1611 away from the first end 1622. A through
hole 151 extends through the sidewall of the coupling channel 150. The mounting groove
170 is in communication with the coupling channel 150 through the through hole 151.
When the second longitudinal extension 322 is inserted into the coupling channel 150,
the through hole 151 faces the locking hole 3222. At this time, if the locking member
161 is in the first locked position, the locking member 161 is inserted into the locking
hole 3222 through the through hole 151. In this embodiment, the first reset member
163 is a spring. In this embodiment, the second end 1623 of the unlocking member 162
is provided with a connecting protrusion 1624. The first reset member 163 is disposed
in the mounting groove 170. One end of the first reset member 163 is sleeved on the
connecting protrusion 1624 and abuts against the second end 1623 of the unlocking
member 162, and another end of the first reset member 163 abuts against the wall of
the mounting groove 170.
[0063] The specific working principle of the above-mentioned locking mechanism 160 is as
follows.
[0064] Taking the locking mechanism 160 positioned on the right sides in FIGS. 11 and 12
as an example, when the second backrest assembly 300 needs to be detached from the
seat frame 100, when the operating protrusion 1621 of the unlocking member 162 is
moved in a direction away from the locking hole 3222 (i.e., in a first direction D1
shown in FIG. 11 or 12), the locking member 161 can be driven to move in the first
direction D1, and pivot in a second direction D2 shown in FIG. 12 to be separated
from the locking hole 3222. In this way, the second longitudinal extension 322 can
be removed from the coupling channel 150, and the second backrest assembly 300 is
removed. After the second backrest assembly 300 is removed and the external force
exerted on the operating protrusion 1621 is removed, the locking member 162 moves
in the reversed direction of the first direction D1 under the elastic force of the
first reset member 163, and the locking member 161 is switched to the first locked
position again, driven by the unlocking member 162.
[0065] When the second backrest assembly 300 needs to be mounted on the seat frame 100,
the second longitudinal extension 322 of the second backrest assembly 300 is inserted
into the coupling channel 150. The hook part 1611 is provided with an inclined surface.
During the inserting process, the second longitudinal extension 322 can drive the
hook part 1611 to pivot and move out of the locking hole 3222 through the inclined
surface, that is, enable the locking member 161 to be in the first unlocked position.
When the second longitudinal extension 322 is inserted in place, the through hole
151 faces the locking hole 3222 of the second longitudinal extension 322, and the
second longitudinal extension 322 is not press against the inclined surface, then
the unlocking member 162 moves in the reversed direction of the first direction D
1 under the elastic force of the first reset member 163, and the locking member 161
is switched to the first locked position again driven by the unlocking member 162,
that is, the locking member 161 is inserted into the locking hole 3222 of the second
longitudinal extension 322 through the through hole 151, so that the second backrest
assembly 300 is fixed on the seat frame 100.
[0066] Further, the mounting frame 117 is further provided with a tubular reinforcing member
180 to provide more stable support for the first seat plate 120. In this embodiment,
two reinforcing members 180 are provided and are spaced apart in the longitudinal
direction of the first seat plate 120.
[0067] In an embodiment not shown, it is not necessary to provide both the first coupling
groove 130 and the coupling channel 150 at the bottom of the first seat plate 120,
that is, only the first coupling groove 130 or the coupling channel 150 can be provided
at the bottom of the first seat plate 120. In order to facilitate the distinction
herein, the first coupling groove 130 or the coupling channel 150 is recorded as a
coupling groove. The coupling groove can be in snap-fit with the first longitudinal
extension 232 or the second longitudinal extension 322. In this embodiment, the first
longitudinal extension 232 and the second longitudinal extension 322 should also have
substantially the same shape, for example, can both be plate-shaped or rod-shaped,
so that the first longitudinal extension 232 and the second longitudinal extension
322 can be inserted into the coupling groove. In this way, the step of processing
the first coupling groove 130 or the coupling channel 150 can be omitted, thereby
simplifying the process and saving costs. In this embodiment, an extending direction
of the coupling groove is parallel to the plane where the first seat plate 120 is
located, and the coupling groove extends in the longitudinal direction of the first
seat plate 120.
[0068] Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the first support frame 110 includes a seat bracket
111 and a plurality of legs 112. The seat bracket 111 includes a support base 1111
and a leg connecting part 1112 that are connected to each other. In this embodiment,
two support bases 1111 are provided, and are respectively fixed on two sides of the
first seat plate 120 in the transverse direction. Two ends of the support base 1111
are respectively connected to the two leg connecting parts 1112 to form a substantially
U-shaped structure. In this embodiment, the support base 1111 and the two leg connecting
parts 1112 are integrally formed. Ends of the two leg connecting parts 1112 away from
the support base 1111 are detachably connected to legs 112 respectively. A connection
structure between one of the leg connecting parts 1112 and the corresponding legs
112 are taken as an example for detailed description below.
[0069] As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, one of the leg 112 and the leg connecting part 1112
is provided with a coupling member 1121, and another of the leg 112 and the leg connecting
part 1112 is provided with a coupling sleeve 1112a. The coupling member 1121 is inserted
into the coupling sleeve 1112a, and fixedly connected to the coupling sleeve 1112a
through a fastener 113 extending through the coupling member 1121 and the coupling
sleeve 1112a. In this embodiment, the leg 112 is provided with the coupling member
1121, the leg connecting part 1112 is provided with the coupling sleeve 1112a, and
the fastener 113 can be a bolt. In this way, the legs 112 can be detachably connected
to the leg connecting parts 1112.
[0070] As shown in FIG. 16, an end of the leg 112 away from the leg connecting part 1112,
that is, the bottom end of the leg 112 is further provided with a foot pad 114. The
foot pad 114 is made of rubber or other materials and have a certain anti-slip and
noise-reducing effect. The foot pad 114 is provided with a mating protrusion 1141,
and the bottom end of the leg 112 is provided with a mating groove 1122. The foot
pad 114 is fixed to the bottom end of the leg 112 through an interference fit between
the mating protrusion 1141 and the mating groove 1122.
[0071] Further, as shown in FIG. 17, the tray part 400 includes a tray body 410 and tray
connecting parts 420 protruding from two sides of the tray body 410 in the transverse
direction. The two tray connecting parts 420 are provided with second coupling ends
421 respectively, and the barrier part 220 or the first backrest part 210 is provided
with two second coupling grooves 241 into which the second coupling ends 421 can be
inserted respectively.
[0072] Further, as shown in FIG. 18, each plate connecting part 420 is further provided
with a connecting finger 422 approximately in the middle. A connecting groove 223
is disposed at the upper edge of the barrier part 220 or the first backrest 210. When
the second coupling ends 421 of the two tray connecting parts 420 are inserted into
the two second coupling grooves 241 respectively, an engaging protrusion 4221 of the
connecting finger 422 can be engaged with the connecting groove 223 to securely mount
the tray part 400 on the first backrest assembly 200.
[0073] Further, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, a footrest 115 is disposed between the two
legs 112 on the front side of the first support frame 110 to facilitate child or adult
to rest their feet when sitting. A connection position of the footrest 115 relative
to the two legs 112 is adjustable, that is, the height position of the footrest 115
is adjustable to adapt to children or adults of different sizes. Specifically, the
footrest 115 includes a plate body 1151, and plate connectors 1152 connected to two
ends of the plate body 1151 respectively. The plate body 1151 has a rectangular plate-shaped
structure. The plate connector 1152 generally has a L-shaped structure, including
a first connecting member 1152a and a second connecting member 1152b that are connected
to each other. A plurality of adjusting holes 1123 are disposed on each leg 112. The
plurality of adjusting holes 1123 on the two legs 112 on the front side of the first
support frame 110 are arranged facing each other.
[0074] The structure on a side of the plate body 1151 is taken as an example for illustration.
The first connecting member 1152a is fixed to the bottom of a side of the plate body
1151, and the second connecting member 1152b is detachably connected to the leg 112
on the corresponding side. An adjusting member 116 extends through the second connecting
member 1152b and is inserted into one of the plurality of adjusting holes 1123 to
fix the plate body 1151 at a certain position of the leg 112.
[0075] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, the adjusting member 116 generally has a T-shaped
structure and includes an operating knob 1161 and a fastening bolt 1162 that are connected
to each other and arranged at an angle to each other. A fastening nut (not shown in
figures) can be embedded in the adjusting hole 1123. The nut is provided with a first
thread (not shown in figures). An end of the fastening bolt 1162 away from the operating
knob 1161 is provided with a second thread capable of mating with the first thread.
In this way, by turning the operating knob 1161, the fastening bolt 1162 can be tightened
and fixed in a certain adjusting hole 1123 or the fastening bolt 1162 can be unscrewed
from a certain adjusting hole 1123, so that the second connecting member 1152b and
the leg 112 can be connected to each other. As such, the height position of the plate
body 1151 relative to the leg 112 can be adjusted.
[0076] In this embodiment, each leg 112 is provided with three adjusting holes 1123, so
that the footrest 115 can be fixed at three different height positions relative to
the leg 112, namely a first height position, a second height position, and a third
height position. The heights of the first height position, the second height position,
and the third height position decrease in sequence. When the high chair is in the
first usage mode, the footrest 115 is fixed at the first height position. When the
high chair is in the second usage mode, the footrest 115 is fixed at the second height
position. When the high chair is in the third usage mode, the footrest 115 is fixed
at the third height position.
[0077] In other embodiments, more than three or less than three height positions of the
footrest 115 may be provided, so that the height position of the footrest 115 can
be adjusted accordingly according to the user's body size to meet more usage requirements.
[0078] In other embodiments, the high chair does not necessarily include the first backrest
assembly 200 and the second backrest assembly 300. The high chair may only include
the first backrest assembly 200 or the second backrest assembly 300, that is, the
user may only require the first usage mode and the third usage mode, or only require
the second usage mode or the third usage mode. Alternatively, the high chair may only
include the seat frame 100, that is, the user may only require the third usage mode.
In this way, the high chair can have different configurations according to the needs
of the user. The seat frame 100 of the high chair may be provided with a backrest
connecting part for the mounting of the first backrest assembly 200 and the second
backrest assembly 300. The backrest connecting part can be connected to both the first
backrest assembly 200 and the second backrest assembly 300. Alternatively, the backrest
connecting part may include a first connecting part (for example, the first coupling
groove 130) configured for connection with the first backrest assembly 200 and a second
connecting part (for example, the coupling channel 150) configured for connection
with the second backrest assembly 300 respectively. For example, the backrest connecting
part is an engaging groove disposed on the first support frame.
[0079] In another embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 21 to 23, the high chair may also include
a second support frame 500, a second seat plate 600, a first backrest assembly 200,
and a second backrest assembly 300. The second support frame 500 can be connected
to one of the first backrest assembly 200 and the second backrest assembly 300. The
second support frame 500 includes a first support bracket 510 and a second support
bracket 520. The first support bracket 510 is pivotally connected to an end of the
second support bracket 520. The second seat plate 600 is disposed between the first
support bracket 510 and the second support bracket 520.
[0080] As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, the first backrest assembly 200 may be a child seat,
including a first backrest part 210, a seat part 240, and a leg rest 250. The first
backrest part 210 includes a backrest body 211, and side plates 212 connected to two
sides of the backrest body 211 in the transverse direction respectively. The seat
part 240 is connected to the lower side of the first backrest part 210. The seat part
240 and the first backrest part 21 enclose a seating space 101 configured for accommodating
a child. The leg rest 250 is connected to the front side of the seat 240 for a child
to rest the feet. In this embodiment, the child seat is integrally formed. In other
embodiments, the child seat can also be formed by connecting the first backrest part
210, the seat part 240, and the leg rest 250 through welding, welding, etc.
[0081] Further, the first backrest assembly 200 is configured to be detachably and pivotably
connected to the second support frame 500. Specifically, the two side plates 212 of
the first backrest assembly 200 are detachably and pivotably connected to the pivot
joint between the first support bracket 510 and the second support bracket 520. When
the first backrest assembly 200 is mounted on the second support frame 500, the first
backrest assembly 200 can pivot relative to the second support frame 500 so that different
usage modes of the high chair are formed. For example, as shown in FIG. 21, when the
first backrest assembly 200 is mounted to the second support frame 500 and is in a
first pivoted position, the backrest body 211 is tilted rearward relative to the second
support frame 500, and the high chair is in a first usage mode. The first usage mode
is a newborn mode, which is suitable for a baby under about 6 months old. The babies
in this age group generally do not have the ability to sit up and eat independently
due to their immature cervical vertebrae. Therefore, the high chair in the first usage
mode can be used as a comfort seat for the baby. In this case, the baby is generally
in a reclined position, which can protect the baby's cervical spine. The first backrest
part 210 may be provided with a five-point safety belt to fix the baby in the seating
space 101.
[0082] As shown in FIG. 22, when the first backrest assembly 200 is mounted to the second
support frame 500 and is in a second pivoted position, the backrest body 211 is relatively
upright, and the high chair is in a second usage mode. The second usage mode is a
dining chair mode, which is suitable for a baby aged about 6 months to 3 years old
to eat. In this second usage mode, a tray part 400 can also be mounted in a detachable
or non-detachable manner to facilitate the placement of tableware and food for the
child. The tray part 400 in this embodiment also includes a tray body 410 and tray
connecting parts 420 respectively positioned at two ends of the tray body 410 on the
rear side. In this embodiment, coupling parts 2122 are disposed on outer sides of
the two side plates 212 respectively. The coupling part 2122 includes a coupling cavity
2123 (see FIG. 22) into which the tray connecting part 420 can be inserted. In this
way, the tray part 400 is detachably connected to the first backrest assembly 200.
The tray part 400 further includes a stopper 423 positioned below the tray body 410.
The stopper 423 can be used to block the crotch of the child to prevent the child
from sliding off the high chair.
[0083] As shown in FIG. 23, when the second backrest assembly 300 is mounted to the second
support frame 500, the high chair is in a third usage mode. The second backrest assembly
300 generally has a U-shaped rod structure. Two ends of the U-shaped rod are detachably
connected to the pivot joints between the first support bracket 510 and the second
support bracket 520 for supporting the user's back. The third usage mode is the junior
chair mode, which is mainly suitable for a child aged approximately 3 to 12 years
old, and certainly, can also be used by a child or an adult older than 12 years old.
[0084] Further, referring to FIG. 30, when the high chair is in the third usage mode, a
pivotable member 700 is in the second pivoted position, and two ends of the second
backrest assembly 300 are inserted into and fixed to mounting recess 710 of the two
pivotable members 700 respectively. In other embodiments, when the high chair is in
the third usage mode, the pivotable member 700 may also be in a third pivoted position
that is different from the first pivoted position and the second pivoted position.
[0085] It is worthwhile noting that, as shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, when the first backrest
assembly 200 is mounted on the second support frame 500, the first support bracket
510 is positioned in front of the second support bracket 520. When the second backrest
assembly 300 is mounted on the second support frame 500, the second support bracket
520 is positioned in front of the first support bracket 510. In other embodiments,
it can also be configured such that no matter whether the first backrest assembly
200 or the second backrest assembly 300 is mounted on the second support frame 500,
the first support bracket 510 is positioned in front of the second support bracket
520.
[0086] Further, as shown in FIGS. 24 to 26, the second support frame 500 can be folded to
save storage or transportation space, that is, the second support frame 500 can be
switched between an unfolded state and a folded state. Specifically, as shown in FIG.
23, the first support bracket 510 includes two first support rods 511 disposed on
two sides of the second seat plate 600 in the transverse direction and a first connecting
rod 512 connected between the two first support rods 511. The second support bracket
520 includes two second support rods 521 disposed on the two sides of the second seat
plate 600 in the transverse direction and a second connecting rod 522 connected between
the two second support rods 521. Each first support rod 511 is pivotally connected
to the corresponding second support rod 521 on the same side. In this embodiment,
the two first support rods 511 are both straight rods, and the two second support
rods 521 are curved rods with a certain curvature at the upper portion. In this way,
when the first backrest assembly 200 is mounted on the second support frame 500, the
two second support rods 521 does not protrude to be in front of the first backrest
assembly 200 and does not interfere with the first backrest assembly 200. When the
second backrest assembly 300 is mounted on the second support frame 500, the portions
of the two second support rods 521 with a certain curvature may be also formed as
an armrest that is easy to grasp, and play a certain protective role. A footrest 115
is further connected between the two second support rods 521. When the high chair
is in the third usage mode, the footrest 115 can be used to support the user's feet.
In other embodiments, the two first support rods 511 and the two second support rods
521 can also both be straight rods or curved rods.
[0087] As shown in FIG. 27, the second support frame 500 further includes a first connecting
frame 530 and a second connecting frame 540 that are configured to support the second
seat plate 600 and be below the second seat plate 600. A first side of the first connecting
frame 530 is pivotally connected to the first support bracket 510, a first side of
the second connecting frame 540 is pivotally connected to the second supporting bracket
520, and a second side of the first connecting frame 530 is connected to a second
side of the second connecting frame 540. The second seat plate 600 is fixedly connected
to the first connecting frame 530. When the second supporting frame 500 is in the
unfolded state, the first connecting frame 530 and the second connecting frame 540
are approximately in the same plane, and the second seat plate 600 is disposed above
the first connecting frame 530 and the second connecting frame 540.
[0088] Specifically, both the first connecting frame 530 and the second connecting frame
540 generally have an H-shaped frame structure. The first connecting frame 530 includes
a first cross rod 531 extending generally in the transverse direction of the second
seat plate 600, and two first longitudinal rods 532 connected to two ends of the first
cross rod 531 and extending generally in the longitudinal direction of the second
seat plate 600 respectively. The second connecting frame 540 includes a second cross
rod 541 extending generally in the transverse direction of the second seat plate 600,
and two second longitudinal rods 542 connected to two ends of the second cross rod
541 and extending generally in the longitudinal direction of the second seat plate
600 respectively. First ends of the two first longitudinal rods 532 are pivotally
connected to the first connecting rod 512 through two pivotable parts 560 respectively,
and second ends of the two first longitudinal rods 532 are pivotally connected to
first ends of the two second longitudinal rods 542 through two pivotable parts 560
respectively. Second ends of the two second longitudinal rods 542 is pivotally connected
to the second cross rod 541 respectively. The first connecting frame 530 is fixed
below the second seat plate 600. Specifically, the first cross rod 531 is fixed below
the second seat plate 600, so that when the first connecting frame 530 is pivoted
and folded, the second connecting frame 540 can be driven to pivot and fold. The first
cross rod 531 is disposed away from the first connecting rod 512 to provide better
support for the second seat plate 600. The second cross rod 541 is disposed close
to the second connecting rod 522.
[0089] Further, as shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, the second support frame 500 in this embodiment
further includes an engaging mechanism 550. The engaging mechanism 550 includes a
first engaging part 551 and a second engaging part 552. The first engaging part 551
is operatively disposed on the second seat plate 600. The first engaging part 551
includes an engaging body 5511 and an operating handle 5512 that are connected to
each other. In this embodiment, the first engaging part 551 is integrally formed.
An end of the engaging body 5511 may be connected to the rear edge of the second seat
plate 600 through, for example, screws. The engaging body 5511 includes a locking
groove 5511a. The second engaging part 552 is disposed on the second support bracket
520. Specifically, the second engaging part 552 is fixed to a substantially middle
portion of the second cross rod 541. The first engaging part 551 can be engaged with
the second engaging part 552 to lock the second support frame 500 in the unfolded
state, that is, the second connecting rod 522 can be engage in the locking groove
5511a to lock the second supporting frame 500 in the unfolded state. The first engaging
part 551 is operable to be disengaged from the second engaging part 552. Specifically,
the first engaging part 551 is made of a material with certain elastic deformation
ability, such as plastic. When the operating handle 5512 is operated in a direction
D3, the second connecting rod 522 can be disengaged from the locking groove 5511a,
thereby unlocking the second support frame 500 in the unfolded state. After unlocking
the unfolded state, the second support frame 500 can be folded by pivoting the first
connecting frame 530 and the second connecting frame 540 and by pivoting the first
supporting bracket 510 and the second supporting bracket 520 relative to each other
(shown in FIGS. 24 to FIG. 26).
[0090] Further, as shown in FIGS. 30 and 31, the high chair in this embodiment further includes
the pivotable member 700. The pivotable member 700 is rotatably disposed on the second
support frame 500. One of the pivotable member 700 and the first backrest assembly
200 is provided with a mounting recess 710, and another of the pivotable member 700
and the first backrest assembly 200 is provided with a mounting protrusion 2121. The
mounting recess 710 cooperates with the mounting protrusion 2121 to rotatably mount
the first backrest assembly 200 to the second support frame 500. Similarly, the pivotable
member 700 and the second backrest assembly 300 connected to the pivotable member
700 may have similar configuration to the above for mounting.
[0091] Specifically, a first mounting base 513 is disposed on the upper end of each first
support rod 511, and a second mounting base 523 that is pivotally connected to the
first mounting base 513 on the corresponding side is disposed on the upper end of
each second support rod 521. Two pivotable members 700 are provided, and rotatably
disposed on the second mounting base 523 respectively. In this embodiment, the second
mounting base 523 is pivotally connected to an inner side of the first mounting base
513, that is, a side of the first mounting base 513 facing the second seat plate 600,
and the pivotable member 700 is pivotally connected to an inner side of the second
mounting base 523. In this way, the two pivotable members 700 are arranged facing
each other. The two pivotable members 700 are provided with mounting recesses 710
respectively. Each of the two side plates 212 of the first backrest assembly 200 is
provided with the mounting protrusions 2121 that can cooperate with the respective
one of the two mounting recesses 710 to rotatably mount the first backrest assembly
200 to the second support frame 500.
[0092] The mounting recess 710 and the mounting protrusion 2121 on one of the sides are
taken as an example to specifically describe the related configurations.
[0093] As shown in FIG. 30, the mounting recess 710 has a groove-shaped structure with a
substantially rectangular cross-section. The mounting recess 710 includes a first
groove wall 711 and a second groove wall 712 arranged facing each other, and a third
groove wall 713 connected to first ends of the first groove wall 711 and the second
groove wall 712. An opening 714 is formed at second ends of the first groove wall
711 and the second groove wall 712. A circular first engaging groove 715 is disposed
substantially in the middle of the bottom of the groove of the mounting recess 710.
As shown in FIG. 31, the mounting protrusion 2121 has a substantially rectangular
housing structure that matches the mounting recess 710. A receiving cavity 2121a is
formed in the mounting protrusion 2121 (see FIG. 33). The mounting protrusion 2121
can be inserted into the mounting recess 710 through the opening 714.
[0094] Further, as shown in FIGS. 32 to 34, the high chair is further provided with a fixing
mechanism 800, which is configured to realize the detachable mounting between the
first backrest assembly 200 and the second support frame 500. The fixing mechanism
800 is at least partially disposed in the receiving cavity 2121a of the mounting protrusion
2121. The fixing mechanism 800 specifically includes a first operating member 810,
an engaging member 820, and a second reset member 830.
[0095] Specifically, the first operating member 810 is at least partially movably disposed
in the receiving cavity 2121a. The first operating member 810 includes an operating
part 811 and a driving part 812 that are connected to each other. In this embodiment,
the first operating member 810 is integrally formed. An end of the mounting protrusion
2121 is provided with an operating hole 2121b that is in communication with the receiving
cavity 2121a. An end of the operating part 811 away from the driving part 812 can
extend out of the operating hole 2121b to be pressed. An end of the driving part 812
away from the operating part 811 has a fork-shaped structure and has two fork legs
8121. The two fork legs are provided with driving slopes 8122 respectively.
[0096] Specifically, the engaging member 820 is movably disposed on the mounting protrusion
2121. In this embodiment, the engaging member 820 is at least partially disposed in
the receiving cavity 2121a. The engaging member 820 includes an engaging body 821
and posts 822 protruding from two sides of the engaging body 821. An outer sidewall
2121c of the mounting protrusion 2121, that is, a side surface of the mounting protrusion
2121 away from the side plate 212, is provided with an engaging hole 2121d in communication
with the receiving cavity 2121a. The engaging member 820 can move between a second
locked position and a second unlocked position in a direction closer to or away from
the outer sidewall 2121c of the mounting protrusion 2121, that is, in the transverse
direction of the first backrest assembly 200. The engaging body 821 includes an engaging
end 8211. When the engaging member 820 is in the second locked position, the engaging
end 8211 of the engaging body 821 can extend out of the engaging hole 2121d and be
engaged in the first engaging groove 715. The two driving slopes 8122 of the driving
part 812 abut against the posts 822 on the two sides of the engaging body 821 respectively.
Extending directions of the two driving slopes 8122 intersect with and are not perpendicular
to a moving direction of the engaging member 820 (i.e., the transverse direction of
the first backrest assembly 200). The operating part 811 of the first operating member
810 can be pressed to respectively push the posts 822 on the two sides of the engaging
body 821 through the two driving slopes 8122, so that the engaging member 820 moves
to the second unlocked position. When the engaging member 820 is in the second unlocked
position, the engaging end 8211 of the engaging body 821 retracts into the receiving
cavity 2121a to disengage from the first engaging groove 715. At this time, the mounting
protrusion 2121 can be moved out of the mounting recess 710 so that the first backrest
assembly 200 can be detached from the second support frame 500.
[0097] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 33, the second reset member 830 is adapted to bias
the engaging body 821 to move toward the second locked position. In this embodiment,
the second return member 830 is a spring disposed in the receiving cavity 2121a. A
reset groove 8212 is disposed at an end of the engaging body 821 away from the engaging
end 8211. The second reset member 830 is at least partially received in the reset
groove 8212 and includes one end abutting against the bottom of the reset groove 8212.
Another end of the second reset member 830 abuts against an inner sidewall 2121e of
the mounting protrusion 2121 (i.e., the sidewall opposite to the outer sidewall 2121c).
The arrangement of the reset groove 8212 helps prevent the second reset member 830
from being displaced during the biasing process.
[0098] Further, as shown in FIG. 35, strip-shaped limiting protrusions 2121f are further
disposed on two sides of the mounting protrusion 2121 respectively. First limiting
grooves 716 that can cooperate with the limiting protrusions 2121f are further disposed
on the first groove wall 711 and the second groove wall 712 of the mounting recess
710 respectively. When the mounting protrusion 2121 is inserted into the mounting
recess 710, each of the limiting protrusions 2121f is correspondingly inserted into
the respective one of the first limiting grooves 716. The cooperation of the limiting
protrusions 2121f and the first limiting grooves 716 can, on the one hand, guide the
mounting protrusion 2121 to be inserted into the mounting recess 710, and on the other
hand, can also enable the first backrest assembly 200 to be fixed on the second support
frame 500 more firmly, which can prevent the first backrest assembly 200 from swaying
in the transverse directions.
[0099] Further, as shown in FIGS. 33 and 34, a fixing block 2124 is inserted into a mounting
cavity 102 of the mounting protrusion 2121. The fixing block 2124 is used to position
the fixing mechanism 800.
[0100] Further, the high chair further includes an inclination adjusting mechanism 900,
which is configured to adjust a pivoted position of the first backrest assembly 200
relative to the second support frame 500, and also to adjust a rotation angle of the
pivotable member 700 so that the pivotable member 700 is suitable for receiving the
second backrest assembly 300. As shown in FIGS. 36 to 38, the inclination adjusting
mechanism 900 specifically includes a limiting member 910, a second operating member
920, a second limiting part 930, and a third reset member 940.
[0101] Specifically, the first mounting base 513 includes a substantially cylindrical first
mounting groove 5131, and the second mounting base 523 includes a substantially cylindrical
second mounting groove 5231. The first mounting base 513 and the second mounting base
523 are fastened to each other form the mounting cavity 102. The limiting member 910
is movably disposed in the mounting cavity 102. The limiting member 910 is movable
between a third locked position and a third unlocked position. A first limiting part
911 is disposed at the edge of the limiting member 910. When the limiting member 910
is in the third locked position, the second limiting part 930 is engaged with the
first limiting part 911. When the limiting member 910 is in the third unlocked position,
the second limiting part 930 is disengaged from the first limiting part 911.
[0102] As shown in FIG. 39, the limiting member 910 can be an engaging gear 910'. The outer
edge of the engaging gear 910' is provided with a plurality of engaging convex teeth
912 in a circumferential direction. A second engaging groove 911' is formed between
each two engaging convex teeth 912. The second engaging groove 911' forms the first
limiting part 911. A mounting shaft 5231a protrudes from the approximate center of
the bottom of the second mounting groove 5231. The limiting member 910 includes a
mounting hole 913 substantially in the middle. The limiting member 910 can move in
an axial direction of the second mounting base 523 by inserting the mounting shaft
5231a into the mounting hole 913. In this embodiment, the plurality of engaging convex
teeth 912 include two first convex teeth 9121, two second convex teeth 9122, and two
third convex teeth 9123. The two first convex teeth 9121 and the two second convex
teeth 9122 have the same size, which is greater than a size of the third convex tooth
9123. The two first convex teeth 9121 and the two second convex teeth 9122 are evenly
arranged on the outer edge of the engaging member 820 in the circumferential direction.
The two first convex teeth 9121 are symmetrically arranged relative to the mounting
hole 913, and the two second convex teeth 9122 are symmetrically arranged relative
to the mounting hole 913. One of the two third convex teeth 9123 is disposed between
one of the two first convex teeth 9121 and one of the second convex teeth 9122, and
another of the two third convex teeth 9123 is disposed between another of the two
first convex teeth 9121 and another of the two first convex teeth 9121. That is, the
two third convex teeth 9123 are also arranged symmetrically relative to the mounting
hole 913. The second engaging groove 911' is formed between each third convex tooth
9123 and its adjacent first convex tooth 9121 or second convex tooth 9122. The second
engaging groove 911' includes a first groove 9111 formed between each third convex
tooth 9123 and the adjacent first convex tooth 9121, and a second groove 9112 formed
between each third convex tooth 9123 and the adjacent second convex tooth 9121. On
limiting member 910, two first grooves 9111 are arranged symmetrically relative to
the mounting hole 913, and two second grooves 9112 are arranged symmetrically relative
to the mounting hole 913. In this embodiment, two second engaging groove 911' are
provided, namely the first groove 9111 and the second groove 9112. In other embodiments,
the second engaging groove 911' may also include a plurality of grooves, for example,
further include a third groove (not shown), to meet requirements of more rotation
angles. For example, the third grooves may be disposed on the two first convex teeth
9121 or the two second convex teeth 9122 respectively.
[0103] A guide groove 914 is formed between the first convex tooth 9121 and the second convex
tooth 9122 adjacent to the first convex tooth 9121, that is, the limiting member 910
is further provided with two guide grooves 914 symmetrically arranged relative to
the mounting hole 913. The bottom of the second mounting groove 5231 is provided with
two guide protrusions 5231b extending in a direction parallel to the mounting shaft
5231a. Each guide protrusion 5231b cooperates with the corresponding guide groove
914 so that the limiting member 910 is limited to move in the direction parallel to
the mounting shaft 5231a, and cannot rotate relative to the first mounting base 513
and the second mounting base 523.
[0104] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 39, the second operating member 920 is specifically
an operating button, including a substantially circular sheet-shaped operating body
921 and a plurality of operating protrusions 922 disposed along the outer edge of
the operating body 921 in the circumferential direction. The plurality of operating
protrusions 922 are arranged at an angle to the operating body 921. An operating groove
5132 is disposed on a surface of the first mounting base 513 facing away from the
mounting cavity 102. A plurality of coupling holes 5133 in communication with the
mounting cavity 102 are disposed at the bottom edge of the operating groove 5132.
The operating body 921 is movably disposed in the operating groove 5132. The plurality
of operating protrusions 922 can respectively extend into the mounting cavity 102
through the plurality of coupling holes 5133 and abut against the limiting member
910. The operating body 921 of the second operating member 920 can be pressed to move
in the axial direction of the first mounting base 513 and push the limiting member
910 to move from the third locked position to the third unlocked position. An operation
limiting part 923 is disposed at an end of each operating protrusion 922 away from
the operating body 921. The operation limiting portion 923 can abut against a surface
of the bottom of the operating groove 5132 facing away from the operating groove 5132,
to prevent the second operating member 920 from falling off the first mounting base
513.
[0105] Further, as shown in FIG. 39, the second limiting part 930 is fixed to or integrally
formed on a surface of the pivotable member 700 facing away from the mounting recess
710. In this embodiment, the pivotable member 700 generally has a circular sheet-shaped
structure. Two second limiting parts 930 are provided, and are arranged symmetrically
with respect to the center axis of the pivotable member 700. In this embodiment, the
second limiting part 930 is an engaging element 930'. One of the engaging elements
930' is taken as an example to describe its configuration in detail below. The engaging
element 930' includes a connecting arm 931 and an engaging arm 932 that are arranged
at an angle to each other. A first end of the connecting arm 931 is fixed to a surface
of the pivotable member 700 facing away from the mounting recess 710, and a second
end of the connecting arm 931 is connected to a first end of the engaging arm 932.
A second end of the engaging arm 932 is a free end and extends toward the center of
the pivotable member 700. The second mounting base 523 is provided with two arc-shaped
second limiting grooves 5232. The engaging arms 932 of the two engaging elements 930'
and at least a portion of the connecting arms 931 extend into the mounting cavity
102 through the two second limiting grooves 5232 respectively. When the pivotable
member 700 rotates relative to the second mounting base 523, the two engaging elements
930' move along the two second limiting grooves 5232 respectively. When the limiting
member 910 is in the third locked position, the two engaging arms 932 are engaged
in the two first grooves 9111 or the two second grooves 9112 respectively. Specifically,
when the two engaging arms 932 are engaged in the two first grooves 9111 respectively,
the first backrest assembly 200 is in the first pivoted position (as shown in FIG.
21), and the high chair is in the first usage mode. When the two engaging arms 932
are engaged in the two second grooves 9112 respectively, the first backrest assembly
200 is in the second pivoted position (as shown in FIG. 22), and the high chair is
in the second usage mode. In this embodiment, when the two engaging arms 932 are engaged
in the two second grooves 9112 respectively, the two ends of the second backrest assembly
300 can also be inserted into the mounting recesses 710 of the two pivotable members
700 respectively, the high chair is in the third usage mode. In other embodiments
not shown, when the two engaging arms 932 are engaged in two third grooves (not shown)
respectively, the second backrest assembly 300 is in the third pivoted position (not
shown), the high chair is in the third usage mode. When the limiting member 910 is
in the third unlocked position, the limiting member 910 is positioned between the
engaging arm 932 and the pivotable member 700 and is disengaged from the engaging
arm 932.
[0106] Further, as shown in FIGS. 37 to 39, the third reset member 940 is disposed between
the second mounting base 523 and the limiting member 910. The third reset member 940
is adapted to bias the limiting member 910 to move toward the third locked position.
In this embodiment, the third restoring member 940 is a spring. The third reset member
940 is sleeved outside the mounting shaft 5231a, and includes one end abutting against
the bottom of the first mounting groove 5131 and another end abutting against the
limiting member 910. As such, the third reset member 940 can be prevented from being
displaced during the biasing process.
[0107] The working principle of the inclination adjusting mechanism 900 is described in
detail below.
[0108] When the first backrest assembly 200 is mounted on the second support frame 500 and
the pivoted position of the first backrest assembly 200 is required to be adjusted,
for example, when the first usage mode shown in FIG. 21 is required to be adjusted
to the second usage mode shown in FIG. 22, as shown in FIG. 37, the operating body
921 of the second operating member 920 can be pressed in a fourth direction D4, so
that the operating protrusion 922 of the second operating member 920 pushes against
the limiting member 910 to move in the fourth direction D4 from the third locked position
to the third unlocked position, the third return member 940 is compressed, and the
limiting member 910 is positioned between the engaging arm 932 and the pivotable member
700, and the engaging arm 932 on the pivotable member 700 is disengaged from the first
groove 9111 on the limiting member 910. In this case, the pivotable member 700 can
pivot to the second pivoted position relative to the second mounting base 523, that
is, the engaging arm 932 of the pivotable member 700 faces the second groove 9112
of the limiting member 910. Then, the pressing force exerted on the operating body
921 can be removed, and the limiting member 910 not pushed by the operating protrusion
922 can be reset to the third locked position under the elastic force of the third
restoring member 940, so that the engaging arm 932 of the pivotable member 700 is
engaged with the second groove 9112 of the limiting member 910, thereby maintaining
the first backrest assembly 200 in the second pivoted position.
[0109] When the high chair is adjusted from the first usage mode shown in FIG. 21 to the
third usage mode shown in FIG. 23, the working principle of the inclination adjusting
mechanism 900 is the same as before, except that after the pivotable member 700 is
adjusted to the second pivoted position, the two ends of the second backrest assembly
300 are required to be inserted into the mounting recesses 710 of the two pivoting
members 700 respectively. In an embodiment not shown, when the high chair is in the
third usage mode, the pivotable member 700 may also be in a third pivoted position
that is different from the first pivoted position and the second pivoted position,
and then the pivotable member 700 may be adjusted to the third pivoted position based
on a principle similar to that described above.
[0110] Similar to the previous embodiment, the high chair does not necessarily include the
first backrest assembly 200 and the second backrest assembly 300. The high chair may
only have the first backrest assembly 200 or the second backrest assembly 300, that
is, the user may only require the first usage mode and the second usage mode, or only
require the third usage mode. In this way, the high chair can have different configurations
according to user's needs.
[0111] The high chair according to one embodiment of the present application has at least
the following technical effects.
