[0036] As is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a safety belt central adjuster comprises a main body 1, a press plate 2 and a connecting piece 3, wherein the press plate 2 and the main body 1 are connected in a hinged mode through the connecting piece 3, and the press plate 2 can rotate around the connecting piece 3; a lower guide groove 4 is formed in the main body 1 and located on the guide-out side of the position where a safety belt 21 is locked, and a lower guide arc edge 5 is located on one side of the lower guide groove 4; the safety belt 21 can be guided to the lower end through the lower guide groove 4 so as to be adjusted and fixed conveniently. An operating part 21 is arranged on the upper side of the press plate 2 and provided with friction-increasing protrusions 22, and the friction force for operating the press plate 2 can be increased through the friction-increasing protrusions 22 so that thus the press plate 2 can be operated conveniently, and slipping is prevented. As is shown in FIG. 3, installation-fixing parts 11 are arranged on the upper side and the lower side of the main body 1 and each comprise a fixing hole 11A located in the middle and adjustment notches 11B located on the two sides, and the adjustment notches 11B are internal arc notches; the overall position of the safety belt central adjuster can be locked through the fixing holes 11A, and the adjustment notches 11B are mainly used for pre-alignment and adjustment; when the safety belt central adjuster needs to be installed on a child safety seat, the adjustment notches 11B are clamped onto the child safety seat, the adjustment notches 11B are arc notches and thus can be adaptively adjusted, then the fixing holes 11A are aligned for locking, and therefore, the safety belt central adjuster can be installed conveniently and rapidly and is stable and firm.

[0037] As is shown in FIG. 3, at least one spring mechanism 6 used for ensuring the tightening force of the press plate 2 is arranged at the hinged joint of the press plate 2 and the main body 1. As an optimization, for achieving a better effect, two spring mechanisms 6 used for ensuring the tightening force of the press plate 2 are arranged at the hinged joint of the press plate 2 and the main body 1 and each comprise a spring 7, and each spring 7 comprises a sleeve part 71, an inner clamping stop lever part 72 and an outer clamping hook part 73; the sleeve parts 71 are arranged on the connecting piece 3 in a sleeving mode, the inner clamping stop lever parts 72 are clamped on the press plate 2, and the outer clamping hook parts 73 are hooked on the two sides of the main body 1; the innovation lies in the arrangement of the springs 7, specifically, in the prior art, springs 7 are generally directly connected to a connecting piece 3 in a sleeving mode, then holes needs to be punched in a main body 1, and one outer ends of the springs 7 are stretch out from the holes; however, in the invention, the springs 7 are provided with the outer clamping hook parts 73 on the outer side and directly hooked on the two sides of the main body 1 through the outer clamping hook parts 73, and thus compared with the prior art in which the springs stretch out from the holes, the punching process is omitted, assembling is more convenient, and the production efficiency is improved. As an optimization of the invention, the two sides of the connecting piece 3 are each provide with one spring 7, so that a dual protection effect is achieved, the whole safety belt central adjuster can still operate normally even if the spring 7 on one side fails, accordingly, the reliability of the safety belt central adjuster in use is ensured, and the service life of the safety belt central adjuster is longer. Each sleeve part is composed of a plurality of spring windings 71A, moving gaps 71B are reserved between the adjacent spring windings 71A, and thus the springs 7 can still have good elasticity after being used repeatedly; the springs 7 can be movably adjusted through the moving gaps 71B, and thus the service life of the springs 7 can be remarkably prolonged.

[0038] As is shown in FIG. 4, a fixed through-hole 8 is formed in the press plate 2 and comprises a first through-hole part 81 and a second through-hole part 82 which are communicated with each other; the sleeve part 71 of each spring 7 is arranged on the connecting piece 3 in a sleeving mode and located in the first through-hole part 81 together with the connecting piece 3, the inner clamping stop lever part 72 of each spring 7 stretches to the second through-hole part 82, and a pressing protrusion 83 used for pressing down each inner clamping stop lever part 72 is arranged between the first through-hole part 81 and the second through-hole part 82. The first through-hole part 81 and the second through-hole part 82 are mainly used for conveniently mounting the connecting piece 3 and fixing the position of the inner clamping stop lever part 72 of each spring 7. For ensuring certain restoring force of each spring 7, both ends of the spring 7 need to be fixed, namely both the inner clamping stop lever part 72 and the outer clamping hook part 73 need to be fixed, the position of the inner clamping stop lever part 72 is fixed when the pressing protrusion 83 acts on the inner clamping stop lever part 72, and thus it is ensured that lock tightening force can be generated subsequently.

[0039] As is shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, a reinforced limiting component 9 is further arranged on the connecting piece 3 and is a plastic component, the reinforced limiting component 9 is arranged on the connecting piece 3 in a sleeving mode and located in the first through-hole part 81 together with the connecting piece 3, the reinforced limiting component 9 is sleeved with the sleeve part 71 of each spring 7, a stop limiting part 91 is arranged in the middle of the reinforced limiting component 9, and the inner side of each sleeve part 71 abuts against the stop limiting part 91. The connecting piece 3 needs to be rotated repeatedly in use, and for improving the strength of the connecting piece 3, the outer end of the connecting piece 3 is sleeved with the reinforced limiting component 9; the reinforced limiting component 9 mainly has two functions, for one function, the strength of the connecting piece 3 is improved, and fractures are prevented; for the other function, the springs 7 are prone to sliding along the connecting piece 3 in use due to the fact that the inner sides of the springs 7 are not limited, however, by adoption of the stop limiting part 91, the springs 7 can be stopped, the positions of the springs 7 are limited and fixed, and thus the locking reliability is ensured.

[0040] As is shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 2, reinforced protrusion parts 12 are formed on the two sides of the main body 1, receding spaces 12A are formed between the inner sides of the reinforced protrusion parts 12 and the press plate 2, and reinforced protrusions 12B are arranged outside the reinforced protrusion parts 12; the reinforced protrusion parts 12 are provided with hook grooves 12C, and the outer clamping hook parts 73 are hooked in the hook grooves 12C; the reinforced protrusion parts 12 mainly have two functions, for one function, the receding spaces 12A are formed, and thus the outer clamping hook parts 73 can smoothly stretch out from the receding spaces 12A when the springs 7 are installed; for the other function, the strength of the main body 1 is improved; the hook grooves 12C are mainly used for fixing the outer clamping hook parts 73 of the springs 7, the inner clamping stop lever parts 72 of the springs 7 are fixed through the second through-hole part 82, in this way, under the condition that both ends of each spring 7 are fixed, elastic tightening force can be generated and acts on the press plate 2, and thus the safety belt 21 is locked.

[0041] As is shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 4 and FIG. 1, a ratchet part 10 is arranged at the lower end of the press plate 2 and provided with round sharp reverse teeth 12; the safety belt central adjuster has a locked state and a released state when the safety belt 21 stretches into the safety belt central adjuster; when the safety belt central adjuster is in the locked state, a lock space 11 used for locking the position of the safety belt 21 is formed between the ratchet part 10 and the upper surface of the main body 1, the safety belt central adjuster is switched to the released state when external force is applied to the press plate 2, the ratchet part 10 can disengage from the main body 1, and a channel allowing the safety belt 21 to stretch therein is formed between the ratchet part 10 and the main body 1. The safety belt central adjuster of the invention is mainly installed in the middle of the front end of a child safety seat in use and mainly used for locking and releasing the safety belt 21 when the length of the safety belt 21 is adjusted; as the press plate 2 and the main body 1 are connected in the hinged mode through the connecting piece 3, the press plate 2 is operated to be switched into the released state from the locked state first, the length of the safety belt 21 is adjusted after the safety bet 21 stretches into the channel, the press plate 2 is released after the safety belt 21 is adjusted to the proper length, and then the press plate 2 can generate restoring force and return to the locked state under the effect of the spring mechanism 6. One innovation of the invention lies in that the ratchet part 10 is located at the position, where the safety belt 21 is locked, of the lower end of the press plate 2. However, in the prior art, sharp teeth are generally adopted, as the sharp teeth are extremely pointed, all force is concentrated on the sharp teeth when the sharp teeth make contact with the safety belt 21, each sharp tooth is actually a point and is prone to being broken when force is applied to the point, and consequentially, the whole position where the safety belt 21 is locked is weak. In the patent, the ratchet part 10 is adopted, namely the ratchet part 10 is an arc and has a certain anti-disengaging chamfer when making contact with the safety belt 21, when the arc teeth make contact with the safety belt 21, force applied to the arc points can be dispersed, so that acting force applied to the ratchet part 10 is reduced, and the whole safety belt central adjuster can be locked more firmly and has high strength; in this way, users can adjust the safety belt 21 only by pressing or releasing the press plate 2, operation is simple, and the working efficiency is high.

[0042] A lower concave arc part 13 is arranged on the portion, matched with the ratchet part 10, of the upper surface of the main body 1, and the lower surface of the main body 1 protrudes outwards to form the lower concave arc part 13; a lock space 11 used for locking the position of the safety belt is formed between the lower concave arc part 13 and the ratchet part 10, and when the safety belt central adjuster is in the locked state, the safety belt is locked on the lower concave arc part 13 by the ratchet part 10. The ratchet part 10 comprises a plurality of round sharp reverse teeth 12, the multiple round sharp reverse teeth 12 are arranged obliquely to form an anti-disengaging chamfer 13, and the safety belt disengages out in the direction of the anti-disengaging chamfer 13. When the safety belt central adjuster is in the locked state, the safety belt is locked on the lower concave arc part 13 by least three round sharp reverse teeth in the middle. In total, the ratchet part 10 includes seven round sharp reverse teeth, namely the first round sharp reverse tooth 14, the second round sharp reverse tooth 15, the third round sharp reverse tooth 16, the fourth round sharp reverse tooth 17, the fifth round sharp reverse tooth 18, the sixth round sharp reverse tooth 19 and the seventh round sharp reverse tooth 20, and when the safety belt central adjuster is in the locked state, the safety belt is locked on the lower concave arc part 13 by the third round sharp reverse tooth 16, the fourth round sharp reverse tooth 17 and the fifth round sharp reverse tooth 18. Each round sharp reverse tooth is composed of a first arc surface part 12A, a second arc surface part 12B and a round tooth part 12C, wherein the arc length of the second arc surface part 12B is greater than that of the first arc surface part 12A, and the round tooth part 12C is connected between the first arc surface part 12A and the second arc surface part 12B; in this way, the round tooth parts 12C with arcs of all the round sharp reverse teeth can be formed, force can be dispersed when applied to the round tooth parts 12C, the acting force applied to the round tooth parts 12C is reduced accordingly, and the whole safety belt central adjuster can be locked more firmly and has high strength.

[0043] As is shown in FIG. 7, the distances from the round tooth parts 12C of the seven round sharp reverse teeth to the center of the fixed through-hole 8 are sequentially increased from left to right, specifically, the distance from the round tooth part 12C of the second round sharp reverse tooth 15 to the center of the fixed through-hole is 6.63+/?0.1, the distance from the round tooth part 12C of the third round sharp reverse tooth 16 to the center of the fixed through-hole is 7.39+/?0.1, the distance from the round tooth part 12C of the fourth round sharp reverse tooth 17 to the center of the fixed through-hole is 7.98+/?0.1, the distance from the round tooth part 12C of the fifth round sharp reverse tooth 18 to the center of the fixed through-hole is 8.56+/?0.1, the distance from the round tooth part 12C of the sixth round sharp reverse tooth 19 to the center of the fixed through-hole is 9.32+/?0.1, and the distance from the round tooth part 12C of the seventh round sharp reverse tooth 20 to the center of the fixed through-hole is 10.08+/?0.1. As the distances from the round tooth parts 12C of the seven round sharp reverse teeth to the center of the fixed through-hole 8 are sequentially decreased from left to right, a certain anti-disengaging chamfer is formed by the round sharp reverse teeth, the engaging force of the whole round sharp reverse teeth is enhanced, and accordingly the safety belt central adjuster can bear higher force more uniformly.

[0044] The innovation of the invention lies in that when the safety belt central adjuster is in the locked state, the safety belt is locked on the lower concave arc part 13 by at least three round sharp reverse teeth in the middle, and the arc shape of the lower concave arc part 13 is kept consistent with that of the arc surface formed by the multiple round sharp reverse teeth 12 of the ratchet part at the lower end of the press plate 2. In the prior art, two teeth generally act on the safety belt; however, in the invention, a safe lock position can be ensured through the lower concave arc part 13, and meanwhile, the three round sharp reverse teeth 12 in the middle act on the safety belt, so that the overall strength is higher, and the position of the safety belt 21 is locked; the other round sharp reverse teeth on the two sides can prevent the safety belt 21 from disengaging out, so that the locking reliability and stability are ensured; moreover, the multiple round sharp reverse teeth 12 are arranged obliquely to the anti-disengaging chamfer 13 and can obliquely act on the safety belt, and the safety belt disengages out right in the inclination direction of the round sharp reverse teeth 12, so that the locking effect is better. Users can conveniently and rapidly adjust the length of the safety belt only by pressing the press plate 2 when needed, the locking strength is further improved, the safety belt central adjuster can bear a force over 1000 pounds more uniformly, and the locking effect is better; the safety belt central adjuster is simple and ingenious in structural design, the manufacturing cost is greatly reduced, and the reliability in use is extremely good.

Various modifications or supplements or similar substitutes can be made by those skilled in the technical field according to the specific embodiment in the above description within the scope defined by the spirit of the invention.
